HABIBI come back to ALLAH (Ramadan Vibes 🌙) · After Maghrib 🌙

• 0:00
  Why is my Internet not working? Why have I got so much water in
• 0:03
  here? This is surely Zanes, no?
• 0:06
  No Salaam Hossein, I've topped up.
• 0:08
  Oh, Habibi. Nah, Nah, bro.
• 0:11
  Do you know what it is? Yeah, sometimes.
• 0:14
  I'm thinking there's so many podcasts that start without
• 0:18
  intro and it was like, do you know what I'm saying?
• 0:23
  OK. Very formal, so maybe we've got
• 0:25
  to shake it up a bit. Salt and pepper.
• 0:27
  So you want us to ignore the salams to our viewers?
• 0:30
  Salams to the viewers. Yeah, whenever the whenever we
• 0:32
  intro, we'll get a. Salaam to Salaam said.
• 0:50
  I think the most important Salaam is Salaam Salaam.
• 0:54
  You know someone, Someone. Told me.
• 0:57
  Someone told me they said you guys are too religious on the
• 1:00
  podcast. What do they want us to?
• 1:03
  Do. And for example, yeah, someone
• 1:05
  says like something like, I'm going to give an example.
• 1:10
  Yeah, someone says something like, oh bro, I fell over today
• 1:13
  at the gym raising your recovery and all.
• 1:20
  Like, that's how people recover. That's that's how people.
• 1:24
  That's how someone told me. Through the appearance of our
• 1:27
  way to Saviour. But I hope that's not how we
• 1:28
  come across you. Do 100% you do?
• 1:30
  We do, yeah. But that's how we are,
• 1:32
  naturally. Ali is like that.
• 1:34
  That's. How Sage Ali is.
• 1:35
  Definitely Ahmed as well. Yeah, I hope so.
• 1:38
  But I think I feel like I'm singing a housing lecture.
• 1:42
  Nowhere close, Nowhere near, yeah, nowhere.
• 1:45
  Nowhere near. Yeah, but at certain times
• 1:47
  you've got to be in it. Like you've when you're when
• 1:48
  you've got Olamar on or you it's it's a holy occasion.
• 1:52
  Yeah, you have to have that. But then there are days like for
• 1:55
  example today with just a few days before Shahad Al Madan.
• 1:58
  It's not like an act that you put on.
• 1:59
  Do you understand? Yeah, but there's times.
• 2:01
  There's times where you're guarded in the way you speak
• 2:04
  and. There's times where you're more.
• 2:05
  Comfortable. Obviously when I'm with you
• 2:07
  alone speaking, there's more like fluid it's it's easier to
• 2:11
  talk. But when we've got guests on,
• 2:13
  we're not guarded, but we're more conscious.
• 2:16
  We're guarded by a law. Exactly what?
• 2:18
  This is. This is.
• 2:22
  This is. An.
• 2:23
  Example No. Went to high school at Hauser.
• 2:27
  Did you go high school at Hauser I?
• 2:29
  Graduated in Russell album. There you go, got your answer
• 2:33
  the. Best Ali Academy of.
• 2:34
  The best universities, Our pulpit was the member of Imam
• 2:38
  and Hussein Ali. Oh, my days I would not.
• 2:40
  I would not swap that for anything else.
• 2:43
  No, I agree with you. I agree with you.
• 2:44
  It's just like, you know, like. Someone the head teacher was
• 2:48
  Hajiradi. Hajiradi.
• 2:49
  Yeah, yeah. He was saying you got to
• 2:51
  imagine, like your viewers are like a random brand in Texas
• 2:54
  who's never been to Hosseini in his life.
• 2:57
  He doesn't know half the stuff you're talking.
• 2:58
  He doesn't know. Hajiradi is Charlie, doesn't he?
• 3:00
  Doesn't To Husseini, yeah. He he goes to St.
• 3:05
  John's Catholic School and he's got all white braids around him.
• 3:08
  Yeah. The problem is, if he's not
• 3:10
  listening, then he might become Catholic.
• 3:12
  Why is that's a bad point? That's.
• 3:15
  Evident the experience that he deserves.
• 3:17
  Anyways, anyways, anyways, just to let you know, Ahmed, I know
• 3:19
  it's Oh my God, it's past midnight by the way, so it's
• 3:22
  definitely after Mahara. And reality is after midnight as
• 3:25
  well. I've ordered food and there's
• 3:27
  delivery on the way. So what do we do?
• 3:29
  We chat. We chat.
• 3:30
  We. Talk.
• 3:31
  Let's talk. So Ramavan's what, three days
• 3:33
  away? What is your What's your goals
• 3:37
  this year? Have you thought about it yet?
• 3:42
  If you want me to be real with you, I haven't really given it
• 3:45
  much for. OK, so let's do that.
• 3:46
  Let's dissect it in complete depth.
• 3:49
  OK, shout out. Silence.
• 3:51
  Yeah, I I think realistically for me, I don't like being
• 3:59
  important spot but I would say I definitely want to.
• 4:06
  I'm not saying it because when an Islamic environment before I
• 4:09
  say wishable head butts me, but I I I I genuinely want to get
• 4:13
  closer to Allah by understanding everything that I utter.
• 4:17
  And I mean that because because since last year, you know Subhan
• 4:21
  Allah since the Aftermath podcast, OK.
• 4:23
  Since last Ramadan when we had such amazing conversations it
• 4:27
  was such beautiful guests. I truly fell in love with God.
• 4:31
  Well, I fell in love with God and every time I was speaking,
• 4:34
  I'll say, yeah, we need to, you know, understand what we're
• 4:36
  saying. We shouldn't just, for example,
• 4:38
  recycle on and do ah, like parrots.
• 4:41
  Yeah, that makes me, when I go home, sort of think.
• 4:44
  Am I doing that? You ask yourself.
• 4:46
  If I'm telling the world to do this.
• 4:48
  Yes, yes, yes. And I want myself to do this in
• 4:51
  Charlotte. I should actually be doing this.
• 4:53
  It's very easy to say something, and it's easy to say what.
• 4:57
  Ask A. Question do.
• 4:58
  You have. Do you have any guilt?
• 5:00
  Not guilt, but like, because I get that I'll be honest.
• 5:03
  I feel guilt sometimes. You know, when we go into those
• 5:07
  conversations and I'm we're, you know, we're talking about the
• 5:10
  way, oh, we should do this and we should do that.
• 5:12
  And obviously I come home and I'm thinking, am I doing it
• 5:14
  myself? And I told someone about it,
• 5:18
  like someone close to me and they said to me that's a good
• 5:21
  thing. If you've got that, don't worry
• 5:23
  about it, because it means that you're conscious about the
• 5:27
  standards that you set yourself. Do you know what I mean?
• 5:29
  Of. Course.
• 5:29
  Because you don't want to be a hypocrite.
• 5:31
  Yeah. You know, being a monopoly is
• 5:33
  something no one wants to be. And you know, it's easy, Like,
• 5:38
  hey, tell me, do I feel guilty? I don't think I do feel guilty,
• 5:41
  but I feel conscious. Conscious.
• 5:43
  Of the fact that I should, I'm not going to say I preach, but
• 5:47
  practice what you preach. I'm I'm being worthy of of being
• 5:51
  able to speak to people. And the other thing is, yeah,
• 5:53
  and I see it this way, you know, Alas, Apana Matala has blessed
• 5:56
  me. I would say, well, Lala they in
• 5:57
  with. Good looks.
• 5:58
  Global community again looks all this Gray hair.
• 6:02
  A global community, yeah, where people, I'm not worthy of this
• 6:06
  praise, but somehow they sort of look up to me.
• 6:09
  I'm being. I'm being genuine here.
• 6:10
  Yeah, I should hold myself to a high standard to make sure that
• 6:14
  if people say this about me, that's true about me.
• 6:17
  Not because they're saying it, because that's the energy I've
• 6:20
  given them. Yeah, if if I'm giving them one
• 6:22
  thing and I'm doing something else.
• 6:24
  Yeah, yeah, I agree. That falls under the category.
• 6:26
  Of no, I like that. That's true.
• 6:27
  So your goal, your primary goal, is to act in accordance to the
• 6:33
  word of the Las Pontard. Yes, but this Ramadan, I want to
• 6:37
  understand everything that I'm saying, OK?
• 6:39
  And I and I truly mean that and and to prove the point here, OK,
• 6:44
  so I'll hand Allah have the opportunity to at times put my
• 6:49
  girls to sleep. Now some parents can, I don't
• 6:53
  know, read bedtime stories. Some parents I don't know, sing
• 6:56
  some random lullabies, whatever it is.
• 6:59
  However, in the last 10 days, I would say as of today, in the
• 7:03
  last 10 days, why I say 10 days? Because why Joshua and Kabir has
• 7:08
  what, 100 chapters? Chapters we can say to the Dua
• 7:14
  when it comes to bedtime. I've decided that when they go
• 7:18
  to sleep I am reciting 10 chapters a day Of, of, of, of,
• 7:23
  of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of. Of.
• 7:24
  And what Allah made me understand.
• 7:26
  You know God is the King of Kings.
• 7:28
  I'm not joking. Yeah, the titles.
• 7:30
  Everything. It's about Allah, strictly
• 7:33
  about. God.
• 7:34
  You can't divert. There's no diversion.
• 7:36
  It's just you, Allah, and the moment you understand the words,
• 7:40
  Allah feels so sweet on the tongue.
• 7:43
  You know some of the dars we talk about, they are so
• 7:47
  underappreciated. Da Mushlool, Da Mujir, Da Ayas
• 7:52
  Tashir. These are dars 3 specifically 3
• 7:54
  dars that I love but which are not like highly appreciated.
• 8:00
  Da da Mushlool, da Mujir and Da Ayas Tashir. 3 Dars I I think
• 8:07
  they are so powerful and there's so many Dars out there which we
• 8:11
  don't really take, you know, much heed of.
• 8:14
  Yeah, I couldn't. I completely agree.
• 8:15
  I like. That there is a lot, and I have
• 8:17
  a feeling Mushtawa's already recording this podcast, so
• 8:20
  forget this whole intro thing. But I do want to say the food
• 8:22
  has arrived. I'll say Mushtawa.
• 8:24
  We'll continue talking. Leave the camera on wide.
• 8:26
  Bring the munch. Bring the Bring the Net from a
• 8:29
  lost panel to Highland. Yeah, there we go.
• 8:31
  There we go, I say. Bring the munch, my sister.
• 8:33
  Bring the net. There's no call, but he's
• 8:36
  calling me. Let me tell him.
• 8:37
  Hello, brother. Yeah, we're coming outside to
• 8:42
  get the food. Thank you.
• 8:43
  This is the. Part where it says May Allah
• 8:44
  bless you and your family. Thank you.
• 8:45
  Bye, bye. OK, So this was brother.
• 8:50
  I can't pronounce his name, but as a driver.
• 8:52
  I told us, I told the audience, I said this is the part where I
• 8:56
  said Ali says to the driver, May Allah bless you, your family.
• 9:00
  Honest to God. Yeah, man, Honest to God, that's
• 9:02
  bringing us food 100%. What was I going to say?
• 9:04
  All right, so cool. I like that.
• 9:06
  So that's your. That's your your goal and I
• 9:09
  think, I think no, I think I'm going to try and take that on as
• 9:12
  part of my goal. So I'm going to copy your
• 9:14
  answers in this exam today. I'm joking.
• 9:16
  So why I'm not joking? Because I think that's a really
• 9:18
  good, a really good point. I've got a few goals, Salam
• 9:23
  Bhavan. So I'm kind of the way I kind of
• 9:25
  work as a human being is I compartmentalise a lot, probably
• 9:28
  too much for my own good. So I I separate my work from my
• 9:32
  family, from my social and from my spiritual, which is bad to a
• 9:37
  degree, but at times it helps me run my daily life.
• 9:41
  Do you know what I mean? So I try and I think of things
• 9:45
  that way. Do you know what I mean?
• 9:46
  So for example, when it comes to Shahadamavan, I will have like a
• 9:50
  spiritual goal and they'll have like a social goal and so on and
• 9:54
  so forth a work goal. So for example with my work, for
• 9:57
  me it's about making my peak performance during an on Maulan
• 10:01
  like like like reaching my peak level of performance which is
• 10:04
  hard to everyone on Madonna struggle I have to take naps in
• 10:08
  the car or whatever, especially the first few days, but I think
• 10:12
  my personal goal. Did you say you have naps in the
• 10:15
  car? Yeah, man.
• 10:16
  Wow. Yeah, bro, I've never done that.
• 10:18
  Pray, Lord, go to the car. 20 minute nap.
• 10:21
  Break time. I used to go in my car and take
• 10:23
  a nap. Yeah, but we fasting.
• 10:25
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:26
  Oh, during the night? Yeah, because.
• 10:28
  I can never nap. I tried.
• 10:29
  To do it in the praying room a couple times, but.
• 10:30
  I can only nap if I'm in ROK. My my office and is very high
• 10:35
  intensity. So we come in very early and the
• 10:37
  phones are ringing. We get phone calls pretty much
• 10:40
  once a minute. OK, so we sent, yeah man, 300
• 10:44
  emails a day, 300. It's crazy. 313 emails.
• 10:48
  Three and three. Everything is, everything is,
• 10:53
  and I'll admit as it should be. They are everything.
• 10:56
  Yeah, man, they are everything and everything.
• 10:58
  Is that What is it with Jordan? I'm not.
• 11:02
  Sure, where you're going. I'm saying so now, so Bros.
• 11:05
  Because it's so high pressure, like in Ramadan, I usually take
• 11:08
  a break, but I want to make sure I can work properly outside of
• 11:11
  that, like with family. I really want to.
• 11:15
  I love the family environment. I absolutely love it.
• 11:19
  But I want to. I want to lead my family as a
• 11:21
  father. This year.
• 11:22
  I want to lead my family. Do you know what I mean?
• 11:25
  I'm consciously thinking about that.
• 11:26
  Lead them spiritually, yes. Spiritually and obviously in the
• 11:29
  environment of the home, you know, the home should look good,
• 11:32
  smell good, feel good. There should be a positive aura
• 11:36
  in your house. In your house, basically people
• 11:38
  walk in or even if no one's coming over, but like you come
• 11:42
  home and everything's is looking good, everyone's in good spirits
• 11:46
  and leading. Salah Jamara and I used to just
• 11:49
  pray with my wife and now I have a a son Hamdulillah, who's a
• 11:52
  couple years old and he likes to pray with us.
• 11:53
  He's got his little Sajada amazing.
• 11:55
  He joins us. So he's now that age where I
• 11:57
  want to include. Oh my God.
• 11:58
  You know, Speaking of my little children, I remember, I think
• 12:01
  just over two years ago, both my kids, If I pray, they'll climb
• 12:07
  onto me. Yeah.
• 12:08
  That's why Allah is one of the most blessed feelings one can
• 12:12
  ever have. There's this.
• 12:14
  I don't know, sometimes people say no, it's a distraction.
• 12:17
  No, I I think it's part of part of that bond that you have with
• 12:21
  Allah, your Salah and your kids. Because you know when when you
• 12:25
  pray as a parent, when your children see you, they'll grow
• 12:28
  up also loving to pray. And then sometimes, you know, we
• 12:33
  find I'm not. So I'm not saying this guy prays
• 12:35
  like this, this guy prays like that.
• 12:36
  But sometimes we find people, as they grow up, teenage years, and
• 12:40
  then they grow older, late teens, early adulthood, things
• 12:43
  like this. The way they treat Salah is just
• 12:46
  like a routine. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:48
  But then sometimes you find those, trust me, I've seen this.
• 12:51
  You find those who know. They treat it as if it's the
• 12:53
  centre of the wall. Yes, yeah.
• 12:55
  Yeah. And.
• 12:55
  There's a reason behind it, because they see their mum and
• 12:58
  their father makes Salah the priority.
• 13:01
  Yeah, yeah, we, we, we all fall into this trap.
• 13:04
  Where some of the Mas that you pray are not like full, full
• 13:09
  focus, full intention, not on time sometimes.
• 13:12
  And that's OK because we're human and we make errors and but
• 13:16
  the idea being is that there's a road to improvement and that
• 13:19
  we're on that. Road Do you have a specific
• 13:21
  Salah that you prefer? I.
• 13:24
  Got asked this question. I had the same answers Muhammad
• 13:27
  Ali which is Doha for me. Ajib.
• 13:31
  Yeah, I know. I knew you'd say that.
• 13:32
  No, Like on a weekend. It's smuggled up.
• 13:35
  I love maghla, maghla, Bisha together because it's the most
• 13:41
  peaceful because you know, for me at work or during the, you
• 13:46
  know during weekdays, the harder you're you're chilling in the
• 13:49
  office, whatever you buy for like our prayer is separate
• 13:52
  meeting room or whatever. So I like that the privacy, the
• 13:56
  space, the time. But on the weekend it's probably
• 14:01
  the evening prayer and also in Ramadan especially, and I'm
• 14:06
  looking forward to inshallah this year is the Salatul Fajr.
• 14:10
  I love it. And shahadam avan especially
• 14:12
  because usually you're awake prior to Fajr.
• 14:14
  I'm sure we should all inshallah get to the Salatul laying habit.
• 14:17
  But when you're awake, prior, you're finishing your sohor, all
• 14:21
  of that, and you're you're winding down, Your body's
• 14:24
  preparing for the next day and you do your wadl and you make
• 14:28
  the Niya. And we should all do that.
• 14:29
  Like I grew up in the house where my grandmother, my love,
• 14:33
  preserve her like I love her the bits.
• 14:35
  But she would make it like rigid.
• 14:38
  Every single night before you start the next fast, you told
• 14:41
  me, make your NIA for the forthcoming fast.
• 14:44
  Make it known. Make it.
• 14:45
  Make your NIA like pure and like solid.
• 14:49
  Because when you make that NIA, the next day will be easier.
• 14:52
  And even if it's harder, it's sincere, like you're doing with
• 14:54
  sincerity. Do you know what I mean?
• 14:55
  And the good you have the intention, by the way.
• 14:57
  I remember growing up we used to fast when I was young.
• 15:00
  We used to close something, so many of us off here, so I don't
• 15:03
  know, maybe Arabs or so. It's it's a farce where it's not
• 15:06
  a full fast when you're very young.
• 15:08
  Oh yeah, yeah. We call it faka.
• 15:11
  So we we used to fart. Well, I used to fast until the
• 15:13
  school ends, so I would only like, eat or drink something
• 15:16
  once I get home after school. And that'll be like 3:30 or
• 15:19
  something. But food will be ready for me
• 15:22
  when I'm home. And like my parents would
• 15:24
  encourage me fasting in that way.
• 15:26
  And I think that sort of trains you, builds you up and and and
• 15:29
  builds you up. I'm not sure why I went into
• 15:30
  that conversation. What?
• 15:31
  What were you saying? Sorry, that's all about making
• 15:33
  the near. Oh, the near.
• 15:34
  I was going to say, yeah. So from a young age, I was even
• 15:37
  told then that I should make the intention.
• 15:39
  Yeah, Yeah. Because sometimes there are
• 15:40
  brothers and sisters who are fasting today without any
• 15:43
  intention and, you know, too fast.
• 15:45
  There has to be a near. Yeah.
• 15:47
  That's with everything you know. Yes, yes.
• 15:49
  And with your praise, your fasting.
• 15:51
  And I saw a clip. I shared it a few days ago from
• 15:54
  on the aftermark on a page from Saint Us.
• 15:56
  And Joffrey, not home, obviously passed away a few months ago and
• 16:02
  he talked about finding a last panel to highlight everything
• 16:05
  you do. Obviously, we always talk about
• 16:06
  the Middlemark mini and hadith of before, during and after
• 16:08
  every action, but truly everything we do.
• 16:12
  Finding God. Yeah.
• 16:14
  So even if it's saying Bismillah before you start your meal, then
• 16:18
  thinking of this is barakah from God or for example you're going
• 16:21
  to the office or you're going to university or school or you're
• 16:24
  putting your kids to sleep like you said.
• 16:26
  And making that action, which is routine, making it God centric,
• 16:31
  is perfect. And if there's a time you do it,
• 16:33
  it's now. Like we've tried to build
• 16:35
  ourselves up for this. This is crunch time, bro.
• 16:38
  Like Shahad al Bhavan. You know, you say you plant the
• 16:41
  seed and rudge, you water and then you let the the what you
• 16:45
  you reap what you sow basically in Ramadan.
• 16:48
  So if we have done a decent job Rajab Sharban Ramadan will be
• 16:53
  easy for us. And if even if we haven't done
• 16:55
  our best, then Ramadan will be still there for the taking like
• 17:01
  it's not too late. We have a whole month in
• 17:03
  Charlotte to come where we can write our destiny.
• 17:05
  I love how you mentioned the Imam Ali in that as you as you
• 17:08
  said your point because it's so true and for us to understand
• 17:13
  what the one born in the Kabe meant by I was victorious by the
• 17:17
  Lord of the Kabe. This is the month to understand
• 17:19
  that and a Shia as lovers of Amir Mamin, Imam Ali Ali Salaam,
• 17:25
  we should I think take Ramadan to the next level.
• 17:28
  Honestly, spiritually we need to reach our peak in this month
• 17:30
  because Ramadan, Ramadan is not only normal month.
• 17:36
  Ramadan habibi is the month of Allah.
• 17:39
  Ramadan, you know is is the month of our Creator, the one
• 17:43
  who created us. And I think we need to
• 17:44
  acknowledge and understand this and also to understand that
• 17:47
  Ramadan is more than us just trying to build a relationship
• 17:50
  with God. No, it's coming back to God
• 17:53
  because I I genuinely believe there are millions and millions
• 17:57
  of Muslims out there who are practicing yet struggle, who
• 18:02
  want to get closer to Allah. Subhana Atallah.
• 18:04
  But at times feel like they're lacking that spark that connects
• 18:09
  them back to God. And this is the month because I
• 18:11
  promise you no matter how far you are, how far you you've
• 18:15
  you've left Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala.
• 18:17
  You've gone into the world of Haram.
• 18:19
  God's waiting for you. Allah still there.
• 18:22
  Allah sending you come back to me.
• 18:24
  You know they say habibi come to Dubai.
• 18:26
  No, no habibi. Come back to Allah honestly
• 18:29
  because Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala bro.
• 18:31
  He loves you more than he loves more than your mother or your
• 18:34
  father loves you. And what is that love?
• 18:37
  As a parent there is nothing more dare at you than your
• 18:39
  child. So imagine Allah's love being
• 18:42
  greater than your mother's and your father's and he's closer to
• 18:45
  us than our juggler vein, he tells us take one step towards
• 18:48
  me, I take 10 towards you. Why else do we neglect Allah?
• 18:52
  And I think, you know, Ramadan is that month, Ahmed, where we
• 18:57
  improve not just our Quran recitations, not just our Salah,
• 19:02
  but our our manners, our tongue, our eyes, our ears.
• 19:08
  Because if we think about it on the Day of Judgement, we may
• 19:14
  fool ourselves in this vault. And I think we have to think of
• 19:17
  it from here. Like if we say, you know, I can
• 19:20
  do this knowing God is watching, but we can get away with it,
• 19:24
  We're not fooling God, we're the fools.
• 19:27
  Because yes, we may not say on the Day of Judgement we've done
• 19:32
  this, but there's going to come a time where your eyes is going
• 19:35
  to say said all your eyes saw this, said all your eyes
• 19:39
  witnessed this. Testify.
• 19:41
  Your ears is going to testify. I listened to this whether it's
• 19:44
  Haram music, whether it's ribe, your feet, the most simplest
• 19:48
  thing you know, I, I, I, I remember reading that the feet
• 19:52
  will bear witness to the places it stepped on, to the places it
• 19:57
  walked towards. And we can choose either.
• 19:59
  We can stand at the doorsteps. Of nightclubs, we can choose to
• 20:04
  use our feet to walk towards concerts, things like this.
• 20:08
  Overall, we can choose our feet going towards worshipping Allah,
• 20:11
  Subhanawa Taala, going towards walking between Najaf and
• 20:14
  Karbala whatever it is. Standing for prayer.
• 20:16
  Because voila, we will need all our senses and all our limbs to
• 20:20
  testify in our favour on that day, the most difficult day.
• 20:24
  This is the month we make sure that they testify that we truly
• 20:28
  worshipped a loss of Hannah. So what are what are things that
• 20:32
  you do in Shahadah Madan? Because there are things that I
• 20:34
  do like year on year, like things that I keep to myself or
• 20:38
  I have for myself that I think works for me and I think for all
• 20:41
  of us. We should constantly be looking
• 20:43
  to develop those things, find new things that work.
• 20:45
  The way I find Shahramovan to be the most beneficial is to
• 20:49
  implement something small and just keep it throughout the
• 20:52
  month. So for example, the even
• 20:55
  something that you maybe you haven't done in previous years.
• 20:57
  So for it could be something small.
• 20:58
  Well, maybe you're not for some people, but not eating your food
• 21:02
  until you've prayed for argument's sake.
• 21:03
  So for a lot of us, we may eat before we pray and some may pray
• 21:07
  before we eat. Yeah.
• 21:09
  So I find that when I pray before I eat, I can eat them
• 21:13
  more peacefully and more more content because I know I've done
• 21:17
  my duty to God in in terms of breaking my fast, praying my
• 21:21
  Salah and then going for dinner. Do you know what I mean?
• 21:24
  So that's one thing small. Another thing I like to do is
• 21:28
  recite in Quran, especially after I told you in in Ramadan,
• 21:32
  especially when I'm at home after you pray Maghrebi,
• 21:36
  Prayesha, the Quran or even between the Salah, the Quran,
• 21:39
  the test behat, all of that stuff really, really helps me.
• 21:44
  There's opera. There's so many small things as
• 21:46
  well that I love. I I got introduced to by my
• 21:49
  lovely wife dates with yoghurt. What do you call it?
• 21:53
  Tamara Roba like just I've never ever in my life bro.
• 21:58
  I've never experienced dates in yoghurt.
• 22:00
  It was the most like a. Daily meal for my dad.
• 22:03
  Like every time he gets home. Does he have it as well?
• 22:05
  It's like, bro, it's really nice.
• 22:07
  And I never thought it would be so, like, these are small things
• 22:10
  that make the month what it is, You know, in the family time,
• 22:13
  where you go, what you do, how you pray, how you worship, just
• 22:16
  making the most and enjoying it. Because this may be our last and
• 22:20
  hopefully it's not. But what if it is?
• 22:23
  And you know, we we, we cannot let that thought escape our
• 22:26
  minds that we, you know, this may be our last time celebrating
• 22:30
  Wilada Tamaman Hassan or Fadseh, the Khadijah or Shahadah Tamir
• 22:34
  Al Mamanin or the Liala Khadar or whatever they are.
• 22:37
  These are occasions which we cannot let pass by, basically.
• 22:40
  So it's it's about living in the moment, honestly speaking.
• 22:45
  I I I think for me, Ahmed, if I can be true to myself when I say
• 22:50
  this, is that having gratitude? Yeah.
• 22:53
  Being thankful, being grateful to Allah Sapanawat, I love all
• 22:58
  the bounties and the blessings and the naam he has given us.
• 23:01
  Yeah, like the the most simplest thing, as you mentioned, for
• 23:04
  example, saying Bismillah Rahman Rahim before you eat, think a
• 23:07
  handler for this food after we finish the test, Yes, not those,
• 23:10
  those small, small things. Yeah, yeah, they go a long way.
• 23:12
  It goes a long way. Far to half on what I mean.
• 23:15
  And and this makes you, this makes you understand that life
• 23:18
  is not just about you, Yeah, it's about those around you.
• 23:22
  And there's a greater cause behind your life and purpose
• 23:24
  there on this earth. Yeah.
• 23:25
  And I don't, sorry Brian, I'm talking.
• 23:27
  I don't think that it's about the big things in life.
• 23:30
  I really don't like. I think when we die, I don't
• 23:33
  think we can be like, y'all I went Hajj, I did my the big
• 23:38
  things, you know what I mean? I went Hajj, I got married, I
• 23:40
  had kids. Colours.
• 23:42
  Like I did a good no, like it's the small daily things.
• 23:46
  Like I went, I spent 20 seconds a day doing something small or I
• 23:50
  spent a minute and a half today. Well, how long does it take to
• 23:53
  us to do to speak like doing the 3333, you know, like that that
• 24:01
  rigorous thing that we have now? Take about two minutes.
• 24:04
  It takes 2 minutes, but now we do it, most of us, between our
• 24:07
  Salah or after each Salah. Like, great, amazing.
• 24:11
  You can do it on your fingers. It takes a couple of minutes,
• 24:13
  yeah, but that's a small act of service, Act of gratitude, act
• 24:17
  of sacrifice. But those small things will go a
• 24:19
  long way. And if there's a time you do it,
• 24:21
  it's now. Definitely no, definitely.
• 24:23
  No. Can I ask you something else?
• 24:24
  Go on. All right.
• 24:25
  Even even most people ask you content, Ramadan content.
• 24:30
  What do you like to watch? What do you like to listen to?
• 24:32
  Do you consume content you put aside?
• 24:34
  Because I know guys who don't watch TV at all, won't listen to
• 24:37
  podcasts, and I know guys who will consume as much content as
• 24:41
  they can. Ramadan is a month where my wife
• 24:44
  will testify that I can listen to about three to four lectures
• 24:49
  a day. Five episodes of Babel Horror.
• 24:53
  Five episodes of what? Some Arabic drama series from
• 24:57
  back in the day, but this this is content that I'm very
• 25:01
  interested in because normally Ramadan content, well, it's
• 25:05
  like. Proper uplifting.
• 25:08
  The peak of eloquence we can say when it when it comes to the
• 25:11
  delivery and the content of the of the lectures itself but
• 25:14
  mainly in the Arabic language. So I listen for example to
• 25:17
  Sheikh Abdul Hamid Al Muhajir. I would listen to all the
• 25:20
  lectures by and my home saying Hamrada Shirazi say Muhammad
• 25:23
  Bakar al FA Fayli Rahmatullah Ali as well I and there are many
• 25:26
  many many others. I I prefer the Arabic language
• 25:29
  when it comes to for example like Ramadan Muharram.
• 25:32
  I attend English. I'm a big fan of English FYI,
• 25:35
  but that's the main, the main things I I I consume in terms of
• 25:38
  content during the holy month. Apart from that, I don't know
• 25:41
  why. What about you much?
• 25:45
  Come back to me. I don't know.
• 25:47
  Do you first? That was the wrong answer.
• 25:50
  Yeah mush Laba consumes Halo Bay TV in Sean.
• 25:54
  If it's not anime TV, I'll be worried.
• 25:58
  Yeah, yeah, well, you know, Speaking of anime TV, obviously
• 26:00
  this is a big month for the channel, as it is every year, of
• 26:03
  course, and there's a lot happening.
• 26:04
  There's some amazing fundraisers with the hope appeal.
• 26:08
  There's live shows with special guests before and after market.
• 26:12
  Have no pun intended, so stay tuned on that.
• 26:15
  And obviously there's the ongoing campaign to bring the
• 26:19
  four channels to you guys, which is pretty cool.
• 26:23
  So look into that on asabit.co.uk.
• 26:25
  I don't want to get too much into that, but yeah, this is how
• 26:28
  you make your Ramadan special, is by making other people's
• 26:30
  Ramadan special just by giving to charity and giving people the
• 26:33
  gift of Willaya. And that is through media,
• 26:36
  people in parts of the world who can't usually reach this
• 26:39
  information. Access to this information finds
• 26:41
  it through access through television and YouTube and media
• 26:45
  which comes from you, brother sisters, it comes from you.
• 26:48
  So supporting those causes, in my humble opinion, is as
• 26:52
  important as many other causes that we see on YouTube adverts
• 26:56
  and TV adverts and social media adverts.
• 26:59
  By the way, when it comes to supporting, if you look at your
• 27:02
  screen behind you. Sick.
• 27:05
  Oh, yes. What does that tell you?
• 27:07
  Which that was taken us to the message.
• 27:09
  I I, I, I, I Amanda. I've missed.
• 27:11
  It missed it. What's time from the last What
• 27:15
  is that? What's going on?
• 27:16
  One year, One year? That's not bad at which?
• 27:18
  Time. That's how many people, how many
• 27:20
  of our viewers have subscribed? Bro, that's not bad compared to
• 27:23
  other channels, but still not good enough.
• 27:24
  Well. Basically what which was telling
• 27:25
  us the people consuming our content, the majority of them I
• 27:31
  have not subscribed. So what do you tell them when?
• 27:33
  When you're talking about smash that.
• 27:34
  Subscribe. Button smash that subscribe.
• 27:36
  When you're talking about support, supporting doesn't mean
• 27:37
  you have to donate. Yeah.
• 27:39
  Go go go and subscribe to after mug.
• 27:42
  Subscribe to After Mug Subscribe to APTV There's a lot of amazing
• 27:46
  media projects out there, but what's the point if you're not
• 27:48
  subscribed? So what do you do?
• 27:50
  Said. You smash that subscribe.
• 27:52
  Give me give me a demonstration. Thank you very much.
• 27:55
  And honestly, if you have love for Allah, subhanahu matala.
• 28:00
  I'm saying this from the heart and inshallah enters your heart.
• 28:03
  If you have love for Allah, Subhana Wataala, smash that soft
• 28:06
  spring. You know, I said that to someone
• 28:08
  recently on a different context. Actually, I was with you and I
• 28:11
  said it to someone else. That means we're going to gain
• 28:13
  thousands tonight. Inshallah, Inshallah I said that
• 28:16
  to someone else. Like if you love, if you for the
• 28:19
  sake of your love for last month, Allah do this.
• 28:21
  I said that in front of you to someone else another person came
• 28:27
  and afterwards he told me he was.
• 28:28
  You shouldn't say that, someone else told me and he's my elder
• 28:31
  and I respect him and whatnot, so I took it on board.
• 28:34
  So I said why he goes you can't put them on the spot and say you
• 28:37
  must do this if you love God, which I don't think I said.
• 28:39
  But nonetheless, you know, it's interesting, brothers.
• 28:42
  And sisters, this was just a way to encourage.
• 28:45
  You in CC? Smash that subscribe button.

• 30:06
  You want lectures, you've got channels like AB, TV or whatever
• 30:11
  and. We've got loads planned to see.
• 30:13
  I think there's there's a lecture series planned, a live
• 30:16
  interactive show with scholars planned.
• 30:18
  It's very, very our show planned.
• 30:20
  Spiritual conversations with Scholars called Our Knights.
• 30:22
  Quiz shows the podcast Juma Our Knights.
• 30:26
  I know you want to say something about Juma Knights before we
• 30:27
  wrap up, you said before the pod.
• 30:31
  Say that I'll even been joking like it's it's Netflix.
• 30:34
  Juma Knights It's It's the best alternative to the chaos that
• 30:40
  happens at a Speaker's Corner. Because he's truly now.
• 30:42
  No. You understand the shitty
• 30:44
  perspective and. Point.
• 30:45
  Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that.
• 30:47
  Without interface, way more than that.
• 30:48
  Without madness, yeah. Yeah, I agree with that.
• 30:49
  Yeah. No, it's a high level of
• 30:51
  intellect as. Well, of course.
• 30:52
  Because those guys in those environments we're debating
• 30:55
  outdoors, they are like low quality.
• 30:59
  I just said it's the alternative.
• 31:01
  It's bro. It's better than I.
• 31:02
  Didn't say it's the same. It's like having a.
• 31:04
  Shit. As what have you done?
• 31:06
  Yeah, literally. It's like having a protein.
• 31:08
  Don't. Start with Shamsi.
• 31:09
  Ramadan's coming, please. Honestly, I don't.
• 31:11
  Know how they call him sunshine. It's like even grass.
• 31:14
  And then say, yeah, a salad is an alternative to grass.
• 31:18
  Yeah, they're both green. Would you rather be vegetarian
• 31:21
  or vegan if that's the route you're taking?
• 31:24
  Neither Hamdullah. Yeah, probably vegetarian.
• 31:27
  I think quickly, let's go back on topic.
• 31:31
  What's one thing you know about yourself that you want to change
• 31:36
  before you finish Ramadan? Oh, mine is very personal.
• 31:40
  I don't know if I can answer. That we asked this last year, I
• 31:42
  think, and I admitted as personal as all last year.
• 31:45
  Yeah. Some things are best kept
• 31:47
  between you and a lot. Yeah, yeah, everyone's got
• 31:49
  something that they. So would you say if there's one
• 31:52
  thing on your mind, change it before the end of Ramadan, not.
• 31:56
  Changing. There's definitely things that I
• 31:57
  think I would improve, which may not necessarily be like sins,
• 32:02
  but things that I want to constantly work on or or revisit
• 32:07
  when it comes to time. I mentioned family earlier, so
• 32:12
  family for me. And when I say family, I don't
• 32:14
  just mean my my immediate family, my my spouse, my kids,
• 32:17
  my parents, my siblings. I don't just mean, I mean like
• 32:20
  my close friends and family, you guys, people I love people
• 32:24
  around me. We're just trying to build on
• 32:25
  that. But obviously I have personal
• 32:29
  personal ones which I want to fix.
• 32:31
  So I've wished about turns off the microphone.
• 32:33
  Would you still share or no? Go on, bro, Keep on.
• 32:38
  What is it? No, no, I I said the movie.
• 32:41
  For me, yeah. No, but I'm waiting for yours.
• 32:43
  We're going to. Smash this.
• 32:48
  I'm doing it. Yeah, bro, it's bro.
• 32:50
  It's it's it's so aesthetically pleasing.
• 32:54
  I generally don't know, say Mushtaba.
• 32:56
  I think perhaps if this question is asked in a week or Two's
• 32:59
  time, yeah, maybe I would know better.
• 33:01
  I think, yeah, I think, I think it's a little too early, little
• 33:05
  too early for. Me, I want, I want, I want to do
• 33:07
  my mile really, really nicely this year in Chandler.
• 33:10
  Yeah, I remember last year we had shows, fundraising shows.
• 33:13
  So I remember I was, it was amazing because you're serving,
• 33:17
  you're raising funds on the same night.
• 33:18
  I remember also say Jalal and Mulan Nazar and like some
• 33:22
  amazing guests who we had on the fundraising shows at ABTV last
• 33:26
  year. But I remember we'd we'd do a
• 33:28
  show, I'd rush home, do our math for 2-3 hours, like barely have
• 33:33
  time to eat anything at all, and then rush back to do another
• 33:36
  show. By fudger time was hectic.
• 33:39
  So this year, inshaallah, if I'm not, if I have the opportunity
• 33:42
  to, I will. And I have some plans with a
• 33:47
  little bit TV as well to visit different centres.
• 33:49
  So you may see me around the UK inshaallah, but yeah, modern
• 33:54
  night. So I really want to make the
• 33:55
  most of them for sure. You know last year I went to Al
• 34:02
  Hawaii Foundation. There was Amal being arranged by
• 34:07
  the brothers at Al Akbar Foundation.
• 34:09
  Yeah. Who were holding it at Al Hawaii
• 34:11
  Foundation here in London. And they bring a beautiful
• 34:17
  voice. Yeah, from from the Khaleej.
• 34:21
  And I truly felt something I've never felt when it comes to
• 34:27
  Amman. Remind me his name.
• 34:29
  I can't remember his name. Mustafa also.
• 34:31
  I'm doing injustice here now. Maybe.
• 34:33
  Mustafa can search his name up. I will, I will mention.
• 34:36
  Which is that Kashmiri? No.
• 34:37
  No, no, he was a reciter. He was a he was a the IRA
• 34:39
  reciter from Saudi, I believe. Something like that.
• 34:42
  It's definitely a a name. That's it.
• 34:46
  Motava Kashmiri is it. But my my point was like being
• 34:50
  there for the entire. Yeah, Kashmir.
• 34:52
  Why am I saying that? It sounds like one of the
• 34:54
  representatives love lessons, truly.
• 35:02
  And he ranked tears to that beautiful voice.
• 35:05
  Yeah, the point I was going to say is that being in an
• 35:07
  environment where there is community, everyone doing Amal
• 35:13
  together was so was felt like so powerful and they made you
• 35:16
  understand and appreciate what Rasul Allah Salallahu Ali
• 35:19
  Hawaii, Salam says when he speaks about Ummah congregation.
• 35:24
  All of this, and it was beautiful to be.
• 35:26
  Yeah, Jamaah is something powerful.
• 35:28
  It's different. This is so mustahab, so
• 35:31
  mustahab, the Salah, the Quran. Even in like a jalsa you recite
• 35:35
  together and Amal together in our communities where I say our,
• 35:41
  I mean the community I grew up in the the most I grew up in
• 35:44
  Amal at mosque is like expected. Do you know what I mean?
• 35:51
  I used to love that man when I was a kid, yeah.
• 35:53
  I used to love it. It means I get to stay up late.
• 35:55
  Oh, Nah, Nah, Nah, bro. I used to wait for it to end.
• 35:58
  I'll be honest when I was young. I'm talking 1012, whatever.
• 36:01
  Years old. Yeah, it's long.
• 36:03
  I was. I was like it was.
• 36:04
  Long we used to get home after feature.
• 36:07
  Really. That.
• 36:07
  Nah. For us it was it was tight
• 36:09
  squeeze. You're on the carpet because.
• 36:11
  The center will like prepare the the Amal yeah all the way till
• 36:16
  just before and suck we have suppose as well.
• 36:20
  With the Carmella centers, they squeeze in as much Latham as
• 36:23
  well as they can shout out before the armal.
• 36:27
  Said I was going to mention Latham Sessions, but I said they
• 36:29
  planned. The Amal, I didn't even think of
• 36:33
  Latham because you're talking about Shahadat at the same time.
• 36:35
  I think I've got a really good question, but we'll probably
• 36:37
  save it for then is how do you approach Shahad at nights?
• 36:41
  Do you do armal and then Latham? Do you do Latham then Armal?
• 36:44
  Are you thinking of it as a Shahad at night or an Amal
• 36:46
  night? Or is it both or neither?
• 36:49
  It's definitely both. It's one in the same.
• 36:52
  Essence. They can't be separated.
• 36:59
  He's, he's, he's shaheed on like I've I've spent like 2-3 years
• 37:05
  trying to come up to this like you know, how do I balance it
• 37:08
  this that because there are centres that do martyr heavy and
• 37:11
  then they'll do Ahmad and some won't and some will.
• 37:14
  But in my mind, it's like you are doing HIDMA and you're doing
• 37:18
  IBADA basically both ways. You're doing your Messiah and
• 37:22
  you're doing, you're crying and you're doing Ahmad, you're
• 37:24
  serving and basically you're serving the Quran.
• 37:25
  You're both serving God. Ro, Imam Ali truly is the Thapa
• 37:29
  lane. Yeah.
• 37:30
  Like with without a joke. I mean, now that you mention
• 37:33
  that, you know, so because you asked me, you know, can you have
• 37:36
  that and that or do you separate them?
• 37:38
  You put them together. They are truly both.
• 37:40
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 37:40
  And I and I mean that and I say that not just as a Shia, as
• 37:44
  someone who has understood Allah, subhanah Mata Allah
• 37:47
  through Imam Ali. Yeah.
• 37:48
  I generally think it's difficult for a human being to understand
• 37:55
  God without knowing what Emir Al Mutmanin says about a lost
• 37:59
  panel. Yeah, because we always get
• 38:01
  this. I'm not even going to call it a
• 38:03
  misconception. There's just some they just have
• 38:05
  to say every time just to, I don't know, push a few buttons,
• 38:09
  tick tock queries where you know, we only mention Emir Al
• 38:12
  Mutmanin and we always leave a lot bro come to a Shia centre.
• 38:18
  It's not even the heights of Qatar.
• 38:20
  We're whatever, half an hour in. We've now mentioned the Mamali.
• 38:23
  How many times you talked about God before this?
• 38:25
  You know. What I'm saying like but what my
• 38:27
  point being is and you're right. In the same way you can't
• 38:29
  separate the Quran as much as this is the month of the holy of
• 38:33
  Quran, the revelation and the Lafi Hill Quran, you know but
• 38:37
  along with that that debate are planted in various points of the
• 38:42
  month. Not by coincidence.
• 38:44
  This is this is the divine wisdom of our last month to
• 38:48
  Allah that the Ahmed beta in every stage of this month, every
• 38:53
  three, 4-5 days of this month you are commemorating or
• 38:56
  celebrating. Do you see what I mean?
• 38:58
  And that's very very, very important for us to recognize.
• 39:01
  There's no coincidence here when it comes to that.
• 39:03
  They are one and the same with the Quran and by doing your by
• 39:08
  doing your service to God through recitation of the Quran
• 39:12
  or whether it's attending imagines for shahadat of Imam
• 39:15
  Ali or willadat Imam Hassan or whatever.
• 39:17
  It is lame as Salaam. You are in both cases doing
• 39:21
  abadah and if everything comes back to the holy awaited Imam
• 39:26
  how will he lead al Amal? How will he lead the
• 39:31
  congregation at the time of Maghreb from ifbad and Salah and
• 39:35
  all of that up until the time of Fajr Like what will he do?
• 39:39
  Obviously no one knows, but we know that he will be doing the
• 39:44
  the same things we are doing in a core respect, the Quran, the
• 39:47
  DAR, the commemoration, the reflection, the education of the
• 39:53
  community. You know and.
• 39:54
  Inshallah, we live to see that day with our own eyes,
• 39:58
  witnessing it breaking fast in the congregation behind the Imam
• 40:05
  of ours. Yeah, bro, this is Roba.
• 40:08
  It's this is Roba. Yeah.
• 40:10
  Honestly, do you know every? Time you say roba, I remember
• 40:13
  the southerners of Iraq. Normally the people from genuba
• 40:16
  use that word, but. Do you not say it, Roba?
• 40:19
  We use it sometimes, but normally we refer to as leban.
• 40:22
  Leban. Yeah, yeah.
• 40:23
  Yeah. On its own, obviously, like the
• 40:25
  thick yoga is lebaner and stuff like that, so.
• 40:27
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So a different terms here in
• 40:29
  their bowl means the same thing. By Speaking of my mom, I get.
• 40:32
  That from your family, Ahmed, From your dad?
• 40:35
  From my wife, really. But she's halawi, so I don't
• 40:39
  know. Your dad from being from Basra,
• 40:40
  I would say. Robot.
• 40:42
  You know, you spoke about Imam Ali and I think, let me just
• 40:46
  drop a few bars, shall I? Oh, bro, yeah, Ali.
• 40:50
  No reciting, just a few words of poetry.
• 40:52
  Ali, Ali, Ali, Where do I begin? For without you there is
• 40:55
  nothing. Well, you're trying to say Ali,
• 40:57
  where do I begin when mentioning him has no ends.
• 41:00
  That's that's why you're trying to say it, right?
• 41:04
  But but the words that come to mind is his name is sweet on the
• 41:09
  tongue. His vicar expands the lung.
• 41:15
  Can't think of anything else, though.
• 41:17
  Wait. Hang on to the city of
• 41:22
  knowledge, Muhammad would acknowledge.
• 41:26
  You had to enter my city. You enter it through Ali.
• 41:30
  Now leave it there as a cliffhanger.
• 41:31
  I'll finish off later on, Sean. He's just.
• 41:34
  I'm just. Testing.
• 41:35
  His praises you sung through the air of your lungs.
• 41:41
  For Ali, we run and I don't know, bro, trying to think.
• 41:48
  For Ali, we run and the end is only fun.
• 41:51
  That's. So true, you're going to make
• 41:53
  this to a segment of the broadcast.
• 41:55
  Honestly brother yeah look guys we'll leave it there.
• 41:58
  It's been a very nice conversation saying Ali Ramadan
• 42:00
  Mubarak ahead of time I'm actually travelling and your
• 42:04
  family thank you Habibi I'm I'm travelling in the first few days
• 42:07
  of Ramaban and sha Allah. So pray for me and sha Allah
• 42:09
  goes well so I won't see you unfortunately for a few days so.
• 42:14
  We'll stay in contact. Yeah, Charlotte Video call you.
• 42:18
  Well, I'm going to be 5 hours behind you, bro.

  We'll do that. All right, guys, We'll be in
• 42:29
  touch to show our love. We'll stay in touch on the
• 42:31
  Instagram channel. So make sure there were nearly
• 42:33
  1000 followers. Make sure you subscribe smash
• 42:36
  that subscribe button. And on top of that, as always,
• 42:40
  we always say we need your suggestions, your topics
• 42:43
  suggestions, your ideas. We have a really exciting couple
• 42:46
  of weeks planned. So Charla next week, just to
• 42:48
  give you a bit of a taster, we are talking about passion,
• 42:51
  purpose, resistance and basically reaching one's like
• 42:57
  potential Ramadan through resistance.
• 43:01
  I think that's a really cool and understanding one's purpose,
• 43:03
  which is different to we've never had this conversation.
• 43:05
  We've done 80 something podcasts that's a really cool one and the
• 43:09
  week after is a is a like fascinating conversation with a
• 43:13
  great guest as well. I don't want to spoil that for
• 43:15
  you. So we've got a good good few
• 43:18
  segments lined up, so stay in touch with us.
• 43:20
  We're also going to be at an event Charlotte later in
• 43:23
  Ramadan, a live event at Hoodgett Stanmore in Northwest
• 43:26
  London. So you'll see that as well,
• 43:29
  Instagram. Anything else said?
• 43:31
  Any last minute notices? Is Stanmore really northwest
• 43:34
  London? I would, yeah.
• 43:36
  Well, I think you said pretty much everything, but I would say
• 43:41
  don't let this month go to vain. Prepare yourself and prepare
• 43:46
  your family and prepare the friends you're with.
• 43:49
  Let them know that you know you can't go to certain places, you
• 43:53
  can't eat at certain times. You need time away at certain
• 43:58
  times of the day where you need to, whether it's pray or to
• 44:01
  break fast or things like this. And inshallah you can encourage
• 44:04
  them. I like that to bring them
• 44:06
  towards Islam. Sometimes they we feel
• 44:09
  embarrassed, Sorry to interrupt, but sometimes we feel
• 44:12
  embarrassed. I thought this was the outro.
• 44:13
  There is the outro just like a comment on this I just want to
• 44:16
  make sometimes we feel embarrassed to express our
• 44:20
  faith, especially around people who are not used to seeing that
• 44:22
  from us. So for example, if let's say for
• 44:26
  argument's sake, if I don't like to pray in front of people, or
• 44:29
  if I don't like to pray on time, or if I don't like to, or if I
• 44:32
  know my family are gathering to eat a bar and then later they
• 44:35
  might pray. It's a challenge.
• 44:37
  It's a challenge to be the odd one out and to say no, no, I'm
• 44:40
  going to join you guys later. You start food.
• 44:41
  If you want to start, I'm going to go pray.
• 44:43
  It might make you feel uncomfortable, but don't don't
• 44:45
  feel that hesitation because that sacrifice is worth it.
• 44:49
  You'll feel better about yourself.
• 44:50
  Your family might respect you more, or I say family.
• 44:53
  It could be anyone, any environment you're in.
• 44:55
  But the people you are with may respect you more because they
• 44:58
  see you taking a step and it may be a reminder to them.
• 45:00
  Allah may have sent you as a reminder to them to take it more
• 45:04
  seriously. And it can be in any scenario.
• 45:05
  It can be in your workplace, can be when someone offers you a
• 45:09
  drink and you say, no, I'm fasting, I'm sorry, I can't
• 45:11
  today. You know, those kind of small
• 45:13
  instances are what defines us and our character in this holy
• 45:17
  month. Beautiful.
• 45:18
  So we have to, we have to recognize that.
• 45:21
  We have to recognize that stepping outside of your comfort
• 45:25
  zone is how you grow. You will never grow within your
• 45:28
  comfort zone. It is outside of the comfort
• 45:30
  zone which we achieve growth. Anyone who's achieved growth of
• 45:33
  any sort has done it through stepping outside of their
• 45:37
  comfort zone and exploring areas of the unknown and uncertainty.
• 45:42
  That's how we achieve. Growth and stepping out that
• 45:44
  comfort zone should become your comfort zone.
• 45:47
  Yeah, expand that comfort. Zone the norm and inshallah, we
• 45:51
  always work towards increasing our rewards because those rules
• 45:55
  are going to take us to gender. And when we do get to gender,
• 45:58
  don't you want to see Emir and Munin Assad?
• 46:01
  Don't you want to see Rasul Allah and He?
• 46:05
  That's our destination, Ahmed and we always speak about this
• 46:08
  off the podcast. Our destination is Jenna and
• 46:09
  inshallah, this month will take us there.
• 46:11
  I'll use the captain of the train all.
• 46:14
  Right guys come under the engine all.
• 46:17
  Right bro, we will see you next week Shala inshallah.
• 46:20
  Take care, man.
