Imam Ali’s timeless advice on leaving a legacy (ft. Sayed Jawad Elhassan) · After Maghrib 🌙

0:00
When we think of making a big impact in the world, many of us
0:04
think in different ways. Some of us think about maybe
0:07
creating big achievement, having success, fame or wealth.
0:11
But within Islam having great impact is usually through good
0:16
ahlab manners and forgiving one another.
0:21
And in Charlotte, today's topic, we're going to be diving into
0:23
this and with me Co hosting, said Alrida Salam Alaik.
0:37
Alaikum Salaam wahhatullah. I need a handshake.
0:41
I'm well, how are you not too? Bad, not too bad.
0:43
I mean I'm nervous. I did the first intro for today.
0:46
First intro of many. Hopefully that did well so.
0:51
Lala's fine, it's fine. I think you said the tone wall
0:55
because you know, when we talk about leaving good impressions,
0:59
Yani, as Muslims, this is something I think we have to
1:02
give importance to. I reflect on quite deeply and
1:05
inshallah will give it some justice throughout the next, I
1:08
don't know, hour or or so as much as we can.
1:11
We do as much as we can, But just before we get into the the
1:15
the actual discussion. How's your week been?
1:17
How are you? I mean it was good until I came
1:21
today. Obviously I support Arsenal and
1:23
today we had the game and we just lost Allahu Akbar, yeah,
1:27
and so it's good to handle overall.
1:30
Can't complete so Arsenal hasn't left a good impact.
1:33
No, hasn't They did not good. They did not do a good
1:35
performance today. Unless I'd got.
1:37
Work, but say Charlotte. Maybe the second leg would do
1:39
good. But how has your week?
1:40
Been and Charlotte weeks been all right, Hamdallah.
1:44
We've well been busy at work, been busy with family, dealing
1:49
with the, you know, trying to get rid of symptoms.
1:55
I had, I had some flu symptoms previously and I went to Majalis
2:00
Hamdallah commemorating the the death of Imam Jabra Sadiq Alayhi
2:04
Salaam. So it's been a very hectic but
2:07
beautiful week. Hamdallah can't complain, can't
2:09
complain. That's.
2:10
Why we thank God for. There's a question, by the way,
2:12
I want to ask you it's, it's so random and it's got nothing to
2:15
do with this topic. But you know, there's this trend
2:18
happening on social media recently where the question is
2:22
if you had the 100 gorillas. No, no, hundred man, I guess
2:27
101, No 100 man versus like 1. Gorilla, sorry, 100 men versus
2:32
one gorilla. Yeah.
2:34
What is this? What is this trend on?
2:36
I don't understand. I mean.
2:38
Make me understand it. From what I've seen is people
2:41
even forgot to answer that question and they went to the
2:43
other side straight away. But I think it's just a random
2:46
thing that the Internet have nowadays, like.
2:48
You say the Ali. What do you think?
2:50
I really don't know, I'm confused.
2:51
I can't keep up 100. Men versus one gorilla who would
2:53
win? Yeah, well, it depends on the
2:55
gorilla. Is the gorilla worth 100 men?
2:58
No, there's. 11 fat gorilla versus 100 a hundred masculine
3:03
men, Yeah. So I need to imagine like
3:05
there's me and 99 others, we use Godzilla Ani.
3:08
Is it like that? Godzilla's a bit big.
3:11
But like, Oh yeah. It's like a gorilla.
3:13
But it depends. Yeah, honey, someone.
3:15
I mean, are we knocking this gorilla?
3:16
Oh, yeah. I mean, probably knocking him
3:17
out a lot like. That to.
3:19
Finish him RSPC my what are they called?
3:22
RSPCA. They might come after us.
3:24
I'm not going to answer that question.
3:29
You know what Joat? I don't know ignore that trend
3:31
because it was a so random, but I thought I'll bring it in.
3:34
So inshallah today you're going to be talking about leaving good
3:38
impressions. Yes, there's a hadith.
3:41
I, I think, let me mention this hadith, you know, when someone
3:44
asks me what's your best hadith, sometimes someone tells you, you
3:48
know, what hadith you like or what's 1 hadith that stands out
3:51
for you. And I've, I've been very
3:53
consistent in my answer. And that is a hadith by Imam
3:56
Ali, Ali, Saddam where he says live amongst people in such a
4:00
manner that if you are alive, they crave your company and if
4:06
you die. Never be in good ways.
4:10
I think that's the end of that was.
4:12
It and if you are to die, they let.
4:15
Me see a present. Wait, live on most people in
4:17
such a manner that if you die, they Oh my God, I forgot now.
4:21
But but but the Imam is saying here, I'm saying I'm
4:24
inconsistent, right. But the Imam is saying basically
4:27
you need to live your life in a way until you say you're she are
4:29
you? I'm your mola, I'm your mum,
4:31
listen to me. Live your life in such a way
4:33
that if you're alive, people crave your company.
4:36
And if you die, people mourn you, basically.
4:38
And what does that mean? That means you leave a certain
4:40
impact on someone's life, be it, I don't know, community members,
4:46
your own family in the workplace.
4:49
So it gets you thinking. And I look around and I see
4:54
sometimes people, they can portray something, but how they
5:01
live their life is something, something else.
5:04
And that's something we want to stay far away from because I
5:06
think ultimately that's hypocrisy and that's not
5:09
something we want to get into. That's what the likes of, you
5:11
know, the party of Shaytan, those who look up to and Revere
5:15
as either Mahawi and things like that.
5:16
So we're far away from these things.
5:17
We follow and we learn and live by him, inshallah.
5:20
So when I think of the Hadith, when I think of that saying, it
5:24
gets me thinking, first of all, what does Imam Ali mean?
5:29
It gives me all the questions, how does he want me to be as a
5:31
human being? And I think ultimately it's if I
5:35
die, have I left like a legacy behind?
5:39
So when I think of just that hadith, you know, it makes me
5:42
ask, ask myself 100 questions. Am I who I say I am?
5:47
Am I who people think I am? You know, am I portraying
5:51
something and doing something else when the doors are closed,
5:54
Johnny, it's a mad well. Being accountable for.
5:57
You, yeah, so you, so we we we really have to be reflecting on
6:00
how we are as individuals. And I think inshallah we're
6:04
going to reflect on this deeply today.
6:06
I. Think we the best way to start
6:09
with it is with the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
6:14
Yet before he was sent to reveal his message, he was known as he
6:19
was known as Saddam. I mean he was trustworthy.
6:23
He is truthful even he did even to A to a point where the people
6:28
of Mecca, all of the affairs was the Prophet Muhammad peace be
6:31
upon him and the Quran says Hassan, when we look into these
6:37
things Yeah, right. The best person that we look
6:40
after is the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him Inshallah.
6:42
And he, him and I have shared so much knowledge and especially
6:47
about Ahlah because the Prophet said I only came here to
6:50
complete the act of Ahlah mannerism, how to perfect a
6:54
character, right? So inshallah you know when we
6:58
speak about the points, inshallah we bring them all.
7:00
Inshallah you know when I first met you.
7:04
I don't remember exactly when and where, but from the very
7:08
beginning of when I interacted with you say it, I've had good
7:12
impression of you. So I, if I look at you, I, I get
7:16
a smile, The heart fills with joy.
7:18
And by the way, this, this is not something that happens with
7:21
everyone. And I'm not just saying it
7:23
because you're here. It's very rare to find
7:25
individuals when, when you're in their presence, you feel like
7:28
the heart is at peace, right? Or you feel like you can talk,
7:31
you can, you can speak about things, you can connect on a
7:34
level with them. You can speak about religion
7:36
with them. You can benefit and learn from
7:37
them. So how do you feel about me?
7:41
So say that honestly. But I need you to be true.
7:43
I'll be so honest. Because it's all about, you
7:46
know, how we are as individuals. Yeah, I mean like before I was
7:50
just so in the Internet. That's OK, that's it.
7:52
I don't believe was I say Salaam to you.
7:55
I know, but after a while, me personally, I like to connect
7:59
with people after like not just like the first meeting.
8:02
OK, yes, I know who you are now, says Salaam.
8:05
But it's always that first conversation that sparks
8:08
something, chemistry, connection or everyone to call it.
8:12
But then slowly, slowly, and every time I keep seeing you in
8:14
my jellies, we speak more. I felt like my heart is open.
8:18
And usually it's not easy with me.
8:22
I'm not going to, I'm not going to tell you that.
8:24
Oh, everyone that says Salaam to me, I know they want to be
8:26
friend. They want to be close.
8:28
I'll try my best with everyone but Cyanus, founder said.
8:31
I think the chemistry was there already, you know?
8:33
Amazing, amazing, beautiful, too kind with your words.
8:36
And I didn't ask you that because I wanted any phrase
8:38
that's I just said that because I wanted to like see how I am
8:42
with someone who I don't speak to as often.
8:44
So it's good to know when I was young, I was 15 years old, I
8:50
came across well, I've always knew, known about this, say it.
8:53
But I came across him and got to know him better when I was 15 in
8:58
the year 2008. And I would say the Muhammad
9:00
Rava Shirazi, not personally, but via his lectures.
9:05
And I fell in love with him. And I, I didn't just fall in
9:08
love with him as an individual because of his lectures.
9:11
No, it was deeper than that. He had a clock.
9:15
He had a way of delivering the message of Islam.
9:19
So he takes so much boxes where I was like, you know, who's this
9:22
guy? I want to know more about this
9:24
guy. You know, not just that.
9:25
I want to be like him. I want to talk like him.
9:28
I want to walk like him. I want to think like him.
9:29
I want to deliver, I don't know, preach Islam, like him.
9:32
Like these are the thoughts I was having.
9:33
And that was one impact I had by one scholar at the age of 15.
9:37
You know, when we look in the world today and we live in an
9:41
era where people open up their phones and they come across all
9:45
the nonsense on social media and they look up to certain
9:48
individuals who are seen as influences by what positive
9:53
influence do they give? So, and we're in a society where
9:57
I think there's more expected of us as Muslims to lead by
10:06
example. We have more responsibility.
10:08
More responsibility to allow other people to love faith
10:10
because you know, sometimes when we there's a reason why I
10:14
mentioned this, because they say he was a scholar, he was an
10:19
island, he was a he was a teacher.
10:21
So that gave a positive impact of how I wanted to learn more
10:25
knowledge, how I wanted to listen to more about Islam, the
10:29
Dean, the FIQ and all these all these things that I think many
10:33
youth have distracted these days when I was 15 years old.
10:36
So how can one reach a stage where, for example, you can have
10:40
a positive impact on someone who's in their teenagers,
10:45
someone who's distracted at school, someone who's, you know,
10:48
busy trying to keep up with the trends like the gorilla and
10:51
things like this, like. How can you stay?
10:53
What's the purpose behind it? Why should we even bother
10:57
leaving good impact on other people's lives?
11:00
One of the main thing that will tell you about someone
11:04
personality is who they look up to.
11:07
Yeah. It's really important to have a
11:10
a role model that you want to follow, right?
11:13
And for example, I'll give you the best of example, the Ali Ali
11:18
Salaam, he categorized people do three things, OK, OK, he said.
11:23
And Nasudhalath, Alimah Rabbani and with Alimahallah sabiri
11:27
Najad Hamaziraha. And people are three or three
11:33
people, right? Alimah Rabbani I prophet and
11:38
imams with Alimahallah Sabir Najad, those who learn for the
11:42
sake of survival and for the sake of guidance.
11:45
And those who are like sheep, the follower, the shepherd takes
11:48
them and they go where the wind blew.
11:51
OK, right. So and my dad always give this
11:54
in this election. That's why I'm saying it,
11:56
because like, I just remembered it.
11:57
Right, you're lucky that you have Wash Allah, an amazing
12:00
father. Yes, yeah, handle Allah.
12:03
So one of the important thing is to us as youth and it's now,
12:07
it's especially nowadays gaining information is very easy and the
12:14
best of ways to gain information is by seeing the scholars lies,
12:20
say Muhammad al Shiraz, they listen to their lectures.
12:23
Other element that we know. But when we don't like take some
12:28
of our own free time, right? And we scrolled aimlessly in
12:33
social medias as we said last last last episode, we said that
12:37
that your brain is like your stomach, whatever you feed it,
12:40
digest it and it has an impact in your life.
12:42
For those who watched last week and.
12:44
The previous week. Previous the previous.
12:46
Week prior, yes. So they need to be careful on
12:50
what they consume because end of the day they think it has no
12:54
effect but it does have an effect.
12:56
What do you think? I think it's got a major effect
12:58
and that's the reason why I bring it up.
12:59
It's because sometimes when I have conversations with people,
13:03
I feel like they're so distracted in life.
13:06
It's because of what they consume in terms of content.
13:08
And we live in an age where digital content and content
13:12
creation and everyone fighting for, I don't know, the most
13:15
views and the most likes. And I think people can lose
13:18
themselves not just as content creators, but those who consume
13:21
and watch such content. And if, if we, if we're going to
13:26
watch content continuously. So I don't want to bring up
13:30
examples now, but of let's say certain individuals or
13:33
organizations, be it Islamic or non, non Islamic, right?
13:38
Eventually when you listen and watch and hear for a long time,
13:42
over a long period of time, you eventually will act like them.
13:45
You will eventually talk like them, walk like them, think like
13:48
them and impact those around you the way they impact you.
13:52
So I'm not going to come out of the cults.
13:55
You know, a few weeks ago we spoke about cults.
13:59
I think we got in trouble a little.
14:03
If I say I might, I might not make on the way home.
14:05
When I go home, I say it. But anyhow, anyhow, what I'm
14:13
trying to say is that as you said, you know, what we consume,
14:17
be it what we eat, what we see, what we think, what we talk, it
14:21
can either impact us positively or negatively.
14:26
And just last week, I was in a measureless commemorating the
14:30
life of Imam Jafar Assad al Salaam and the speaker, the the
14:35
lecturer, he mentioned 2 very important points.
14:38
And when he said that, I was like, wow.
14:40
And now thinking of it, it's so relevant to this, the discussion
14:43
here. Imam Jafar Assad Ali Salaam, he
14:49
says be an adornment for us. I was in Arabic, so that 100%
15:01
relates to how you are as an individual.
15:04
And the amount went further invite in the way of religion,
15:11
not with your tongues, your actions.
15:14
So sometimes that and and when you have positive actions, when
15:17
you have positive interactions, you leave a very good
15:19
impression. And I've always said this, you
15:21
know, especially with non-Muslims, when, when, when
15:25
you interact with say, I don't know, Dave or John in the
15:28
workplace or Craig and Kevin University or wherever it may
15:33
be, when they're non-muslim and they speak with you, that's the
15:38
only interaction they will possibly have of a Muslim.
15:42
Not just that, how you interact with them.
15:45
They've never met Rasul Allah. They've never read about him.
15:48
They've never opened the Syria. They don't know the mercy of
15:52
Allah. They've never read the Quran.
15:54
They've never come across Mugaram, and they've never.
15:57
Never came across. They don't know anything.
15:59
You represent Islam and if if you're going to be ill manned,
16:05
if you're not going to give care and attention, if you're not
16:08
going to speak in a very positive way with them, that's
16:12
going to say, you know what this is how Rasul Allah is this is
16:17
how they're religionists. This is what their God tells
16:20
them, commands them to do when in fact it's the very opposite.
16:23
So when we interact with people, if it's positive, especially
16:28
with non-Muslims, they. Will leave a mark.
16:30
They will. Not just leave a mark their
16:32
hearts might open to Islam and and and and I don't think we
16:35
think about that as Muslims like sometimes when we go to school
16:38
when we go to university or when we enter the workplace or even
16:42
when when the train station, wherever we are on the bus stop,
16:46
we deal with non-Muslims living here in the West.
16:48
Bro, if you leave a good mark on someone, they might say, you
16:51
know what? Why is he kind?
16:53
Why is he so respectful? Why is he so mindful?
16:56
Why is he so caring? This why, why, why, why?
16:59
We'll come back, we'll come back to Islam and they want to know
17:02
more. And you never know, you could be
17:05
the reason why someone becomes Muslim.
17:08
And I think that's what that's one point That's very I.
17:10
Remember, it's not a story, but someone was saying it.
17:15
It's a it's a new tube. Some some Iranian guy, he who
17:18
has been in a car accident and he like he had some experience,
17:24
like after the after death experience and whatnot.
17:28
And he said one of the things that changed his after this
17:32
experience from having been punished to have reward is that
17:35
one time he was riding his bike and then he saw a couple and a
17:39
child in the car. So he smiled at the child and
17:43
the the child became happy and kind of joyfully was sad.
17:49
And then he he thought nothing of it.
17:51
But when they showed him and Adam Berzer that your smile to
17:55
that random person, that child, you know what it did?
17:59
These parents, his parents were going to fight for divorce and
18:02
his love was going to be miserable, miserable.
18:04
But because you smiled at the child, and the child did smile,
18:09
his family looked at him and said, what are we doing?
18:10
Why are we getting divorced? Let's sort our things together.
18:13
Yeah. For us to raise our child and to
18:16
have a good life and that in the hereafter brought him a lot of
18:20
high rewards, yeah. Yeah.
18:22
So we don't, we think about it as something, nothing as how
18:24
that I think one of the imam I believe in, Asada said.
18:27
Smile to a stranger is like giving Salah, yeah.
18:30
They say smile as charity about it.
18:32
Yes, yes, that's what was story. That's like an indirect
18:38
impression makes a direct impact.
18:41
That is mad that is mad like truly you never you never know.
18:44
You can be placed in any scenario.
18:47
This is all opportunities from Allah.
18:48
You know, sometimes you're right.
18:50
You know, we can look at someone.
18:52
Have you ever, I don't know if you've ever been on like a bus
18:55
or a train here in London, like on the public transport,
18:58
everyone just staring at you like.
18:59
Yeah, and they all look. Depressed, I don't know where to
19:01
stay. By the way, sometimes I have to
19:02
look at the floor because I don't want to be seem like I'm
19:04
staring to people. But imagine someone's having a
19:07
very bad miserable day. Somehow you make eye contact
19:11
with them. You see, I don't know, you see
19:13
even just him or Dave sitting down across you.
19:17
They, they may be going for something you never want to
19:21
experience in your life. And you just look at them as
19:24
just smile, just a simple smile that can change their life, that
19:30
can change, you know, the heart and the pain that's in their
19:33
heart and it's and it's mad. You know, they say Rasulullah
19:36
Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam always smiled.
19:41
I've always like heard the come across of how his smile left
19:47
like it's mad. His a clock, his morals is out
19:50
of this world. Omar Sanakila Rahmatan, the
19:53
Alamini, right? So we we come across this and we
19:55
always read stories, whether it's how he dealt with people
19:58
who were sick, how he dealt with his enemies, how how he dealt
20:03
with, for example, that Jewish lady who used to throw garbage
20:06
on him. How like there is so much
20:08
interactions where you know Subhanallah even when she was on
20:11
her death death bed, he came to visit her right?
20:13
She was confused like. What's?
20:15
What's going on? All my life.
20:17
And and and and and. This is what God wants from us.
20:20
Ultimately, this is what Rasul Allah expects from us.
20:23
And inshallah we can live to that standard.
20:25
And I don't know, because when we die, I, I love death.
20:31
You know, when you, when you, when someone tells, you know,
20:32
like, stop talking about death, don't talk about death.
20:36
It's negative. No, man, it's so positive
20:38
because it keeps you in check when you think about your
20:41
akhara, when you think about your grave, when you think about
20:43
the day of judgement, the moment when you're going to be held
20:46
accountable in front of Allah. You know, when you say I should
20:49
do, when I start to hawk, one more to hawk.
20:51
But all this is going to happen. It's guaranteed.
20:53
We're going to face it. So much things that we do now is
20:58
going to impact that day, that day that is one of the most
21:02
difficult days in our lives. You know, they say, for example,
21:05
there's about 50 stations you go through from from the moment.
21:12
Your soul is time to come out. You know, you go through the
21:15
different stages, you know your soul's gone, you get buried,
21:19
you're in Barzakh. But then the SAR happens that
21:22
questioning you go through 50 different stations and each
21:25
station they say it's worth 1000 years, but we don't know whether
21:29
it's Earth years. Heaven years.
21:32
Or heavenly years and we don't know and it's and it's not
21:35
something easy. And the way we act here, it can
21:39
be 1 positive interaction we have forget your neighbors one
21:43
second. Forget your neighbors.
21:45
Forget. I don't know, forget
21:46
non-Muslims. Forget broke your own home.
21:50
Speak nice with your parents, speak nice with your siblings,
21:55
your children, your spouse, your wife, your uncle broke it.
21:59
Sometimes there are people who they have family, but they're
22:04
alone because people don't know how to interact at home.
22:08
And we look up to the Halil bait and you know, the most simplest
22:10
thing we can ever do is open Hadith al Kasar and look at how
22:14
beautiful the Halil bait converse and speak to one.
22:18
Whether it's Fatima Zahra speaking to Al Hassan al
22:22
Hussain, whether it's Imam al Hussain responding to his mother
22:25
Fatima, whether that's Amir al Mutmaneen answering and speaking
22:28
with Fatima al Aisa. It is mad.
22:30
Like imagine, can you actually imagine?
22:32
I can't. I think it's difficult, but it's
22:35
not hard. That's not hard at all.
22:37
Yeah. And if we say we look up to the
22:38
LL bait and we see this is how they speak with within a family,
22:42
why can't we do that at home? Because the problem is we speak
22:45
good with the outside world and at home sometimes where the
22:47
worst, worst individuals. And I found that I forgot what
22:50
Imam B says, that, for example, there's a lot of people where
22:53
they'll be so joyful outside, but when they come home, they
22:56
look all like, yeah, depressed. All the worries in the world
23:00
suddenly came from nowhere. They must say, don't be the
23:02
opposite. When you get home, forget about
23:04
the stress from outside and everything.
23:05
Make sure you have a good impact within your family first.
23:08
Then outside they're like into there's a, there's a saying in
23:12
Arabic says cholera, and by then outside.
23:16
So the first thing you're meant to pay attention for and care
23:19
for is those who are around you. Then outside because.
23:22
You're more comfortable for them than the community outside that
23:25
you're out with all the time. You know, sometimes people ask
23:28
me, they say, Ali, how are you? I say, Handler, I could be going
23:32
for the worst thing you can imagine.
23:35
I look, I'm in my early 30s. There's a lot of responsibility
23:40
for me personally in my life, you know, raising family, trying
23:44
to provide financially and all these things.
23:46
And I think as Ben, inshallah these all positive experiences
23:51
one can have throughout their lives.
23:53
But sometimes there's so much burden on your shoulder.
23:56
You can come home and just because maybe you're having a
24:00
bad and miserable day, you can say, you can say something
24:03
that's not nice or you can have a positive interaction coming
24:08
towards you, but then you don't give the same positivity back.
24:12
And for me personally, when someone says to me, how are you,
24:17
I said handled whether it's a good day or a bad day, OK.
24:21
And because of that mindset that I have, I even if I have the
24:26
worst days, I don't show that to people.
24:32
It also brings them like for example, let's say I'm sorry to
24:35
interrupt you, but. Like no, no, it's fine.
24:36
Gone. Sometimes someone is is looking
24:39
forward to see. Yeah.
24:40
Right. But the, the minute they ask how
24:42
are you and they say, oh, I'm not all right, they all of a
24:44
sudden the energy goes away. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:46
Sometimes you meet people and I'm sorry to say this, you know,
24:49
sometimes, sometimes I speak with people from my own circles
24:53
and I say, you know, Shlonik, how are you?
24:55
How's life? You know, all our life is tough.
24:58
I don't know why God is testing me.
25:00
There's never positivity, and that's not a nice trait.
25:05
Look, you can complain no problem.
25:06
You can complain, but you also have to see the good from it.
25:09
These are a lot of them. Design this world that will.
25:14
Be happy. Eat, sleep, repeat and chill.
25:17
There's there's no what's that word in Arabic?
25:20
There's there's no there's no raha.
25:23
This world wasn't designed for comfort.
25:26
Gender was not this one. The whole point of this world is
25:28
that we're tested to worship Allah and Inshallah is either
25:31
him, heaven or hell. Sure, let's have an inshallah
25:34
gender's promise to us as we believe.
25:38
But you're right. Yeah.
25:39
I mean, when, when when we interact with people, how we are
25:43
as people plays a very big role. I've said to Ahmed Ahmed Gokul,
25:49
I've said on a previous episode podcast where sometimes we
25:52
reflect on how we're doing and what we're doing.
25:55
And I've always said the handle like when people listen in and
25:59
TuneIn and talk, they they think good of us.
26:02
They they say we benefit from you.
26:04
They say we love the work that you do and how you carry
26:07
yourself, how you speak, your respect, how you are with one
26:11
another, etcetera. Remember I told them and I was
26:13
like, look, if people are saying this about us, it better be
26:15
true, bro. It better be true.
26:19
It has a hadith. It says be like what people
26:24
think of you. Yeah, yeah.
26:26
Even if you're not that person, try to be that because after a
26:29
while you, you're accustomed to it and that's it.
26:32
It will be a trait, it will be a personality.
26:34
So I think what you said is I just, I remember the hadith, so
26:38
I had to mention. It there's a hadith to it, Yeah.
26:40
I haven't come across it, but if you do come across it after the
26:43
podcast, send it to me and I send it to Ahmed as well.
26:47
But no, it's important. Yeah.
26:48
It's a self reflection. And we say, Russell, Allah says,
26:51
you know, an hour of reflection is equal or greater to 70 years
26:53
of I bother you. I mean, just spend an hour a day
26:57
or hour a week, hour a month or an hour after this episode, if
27:00
you're listening, reflect on how you are as an individual, how
27:03
you leave a positive impact on people.
27:06
Look at that little bit, Salaam Allah alaikum, Voila, the have
27:10
you met that little bit? No, have I met them?
27:13
We're here in 2025, but we can't live without them.
27:18
Why? Why?
27:18
Why? Because of the impact they had
27:22
on Islam until today. Like, that is a legacy as
27:26
unmatched anywhere else. Right then, beyond the a little
27:31
bit Ali Musalam, why can't we live like them?
27:35
Imam Ali, we've never met him. You haven't met him.
27:38
I haven't met him, but he's our father.
27:43
We've never met her, but she's great that to us that our own
27:45
mother like. But that's because they've
27:48
reached a certain level and an impact and impression and
27:54
contribution to society, to community, to religion.
27:57
They ticked every single box and we have this relationship with
28:00
them. Of course, there's a God
28:02
divinity within it, like in many ways they're connected to the
28:08
very religion of Islam and every way in fact, that we can relate
28:13
to them. But how can our heart hurt of
28:18
the when they hurt? We cry for the Mossad.
28:21
We don't know what happened in Carbonara.
28:23
We don't know what happened at the door.
28:25
Minute by minute, hour by hour, second by second, detail by
28:29
detail. But Huawei, what happens to our
28:31
hearts when it comes to the month of Muharram?
28:33
It shatters. We spend our wealth, we don't
28:36
care about our health. When we lose our sleep, we close
28:39
our businesses, forget life, but we love them.
28:42
Why? They left an impact.
28:45
It is mad. And if you think about it, just
28:47
talking now where she are, they're the best role models.
28:53
How do they live their life? Why can't we do the same?
28:56
Yeah, I doubt we'll ever reach their levels.
28:58
Of course not. But there's no harm in trying.
29:01
There's no harm in trying, but I think it's because the the the
29:04
impact they had is because the sacrifice they made.
29:07
Are we willing to? Have the same sacrifice that's
29:09
that's a keyword, but as a big keyword.
29:12
Are we willing to have sacrifices like that?
29:14
No. We should be.
29:17
We should be, but do we have? It we should be honey, it's it
29:20
can be done at a very basic level.
29:22
We can doesn't have to be as big as they did in an example I give
29:28
for example, just knock your neighbour's door and say do you
29:32
need anything? No.
29:34
But you're OK, check out from them.
29:35
That's not hard. And The thing is, there's a
29:37
small thing that we don't do that big.
29:39
And for example, we have hakajar in Islam.
29:41
Which one of the? Biggest things?
29:43
Yes. Do we even?
29:45
Do you know your neighbors? They say you need to.
29:47
I know my neighbors in my neighbor that's good, but I
29:49
don't know the entire Rd. Maybe I need to work on that
29:51
right Because they if I'm not mistaken, I think it's this
29:53
recommended to know 7 to your left, 7 to your right.
29:59
I remember reading something many weeks ago about neighborly
30:01
relations when it comes to you know, Islam expects of us and we
30:08
don't know their name, let alone how they're doing.
30:10
That's a big problem. We we learn from they
30:14
departments are Ali Salaam where she has a jar from Madar.
30:17
The way she treated her neighbors before she like she
30:20
looked after the people around her, whether they were family or
30:23
neighbors. Why can't we do that?
30:26
We can't. I mean, I feel like it's all
30:28
about as we said two weeks ago. Self.
30:30
About. Self mankind is selfish.
30:32
Yeah, you need to be. You care about you yourself, and
30:35
that's it. By the way, this is society.
30:38
They say I, I, I, me, this. I achieved this.
30:41
You achieved this, I achieved that.
30:43
I don't know. Sometimes we feel like we were
30:48
so busy in this world that we don't think about those around
30:53
us the way we ought to. Yeah.
30:56
I mean, if we think about them, it's it's only for example, if
30:59
they're our children, OK, if they've done their homework as
31:03
an example. I'm just saying the most basic
31:04
thing as any parent will do here in the West, when your children
31:07
go to school, why is it just that?
31:10
Why is it not like, you know, how can I teach, teach them a
31:13
clock or how can I make them a better Muslim?
31:17
I don't think parents think like this these days, by the way.
31:19
And maybe that's a conversation for completely different day,
31:23
but there was a thought I had. The thing is, The thing is, they
31:27
think that Arbor School is enough Saturday school.
31:30
That's the problem here, yeah, yeah.
31:31
They think they have no responsibility, but no relax
31:34
inter as a parent. The prophets is the period of
31:39
someone childhood into three. Yeah, into 3.
31:41
Seven years, seven years, seven years, first seven years is to
31:44
let them do whatever they want to do.
31:47
From 7 to 14 is to teach them be their own models, and the last
31:52
seven years from 14 to 21 is to be different, to befriend them.
31:55
But do people do that? Do the people even know about
31:57
this? No.
31:59
No, they don't. So whose fault is it?
32:03
People are accountable for their own, like they have to.
32:07
They have responsibility for you.
32:08
As someone who's a father, someone who's a mother, you need
32:10
to know your responsibilities. And you're all sorry why men by
32:14
that question was for example, let's say this kid grows up and
32:17
he doesn't have good luck. He's not maybe the best
32:20
righteous son or whatever it is who's really to blame?
32:25
Who's really to blame? 100% is the parents right?
32:28
But. Even the person himself because
32:31
end of the day and we're all born with we're all born with
32:35
something. We know his child was strong.
32:37
I have a someone who is not a Muslim, they know his child was
32:39
strong. Lying is wrong, saying the
32:40
truth, being trustful is good, you know, and they we all have
32:44
apple and Allah gave us intellect for the detestors and
32:48
to be accountable for our action.
32:50
So someone who says, oh, my parents never raised me, you can
32:53
change by yourself. I'll give you a power why you're
32:56
not changing yourself. We can't just put the blame on
32:58
the parents, no. Let me ask you a question, John.
33:01
Yeah, let's say I'm listening to this episodes and by now I've
33:06
hit the subscribe button and I've done all of text.
33:09
I've checked all the boxes. You know you haven't done it.
33:11
Do it already. Yeah, I'm following after on
33:14
Instagram and whatnot, but let me go back to me being real.
33:19
Let's say I don't know, I'm 1819.
33:21
Perhaps I'm a 40 year old man. I'm listening and I'm watching.
33:26
I want to change my life, I want to improve my law, can't improve
33:30
my morals. I I want to be a better person.
33:33
I want to leave positive impact on my family, on my friends, on
33:36
my community, at the workplace. When I die.
33:38
I want to leave a legacy. I want a lost Panama to Allah to
33:43
be proud of me and say hey, paradise is made for you.
33:47
Yeah. Is there any like tips or
33:49
advice, maybe 1 even 1 of how one should change their life?
33:56
I mean, think of it like this, this world that we live in,
33:59
right? We think that the Haram is way
34:03
more than the halal, but it's the opposite.
34:06
Just know your halal and know your Haram and stay away from
34:09
the Haram. Simple.
34:12
Because when you think about it, you might think sins are
34:16
something that might know something that will never have
34:18
effect in you and will never change you as a person.
34:21
You'll be it's fine. I can't do a sin here, Cynthia
34:23
and go to heaven. No, count your sins and don't
34:26
take it lightly and stop it. That's the that's the first
34:30
thing that should should anyone do if they want to change and
34:34
they aim to change. Just stop saying I know it's
34:37
hard to say. I say I'm not saying I'm a
34:39
perfect man. I don't sin like everyone is.
34:42
Everyone makes mistake, but that's that should be the aim.
34:46
Chull beautiful piece of advice and I remember the hadith I got
34:50
wrong at the beginning is live amongst people in such a manner
34:54
that if you're alive they crave your company.
35:00
I forgot that live. I was great.
35:03
I was like, what? Live amongst people.
35:06
And when you leave in. Such a way that when you are
35:09
alive, they crave your company. And if you die, let me see.
35:14
They cry over you, They cry over you.
35:16
What does Imam Ali mean by crave your company and they miss you?
35:22
I, I, I, I think let's focus on these two, right?
35:25
If he says they crave your company, what sort of company do
35:29
you think about Miley is referring to?
35:32
Obviously not the Sabbath suit kind of, but I think for
35:38
example, like when I see when I gather with people, my friends,
35:42
when I enjoy gathering, it's like when we make sure that me
35:46
and you, let's say we went down and sat down somewhere.
35:50
Like the aim should be either I make you a better person or you
35:55
make me a better person. That's the kind of company that
35:57
I enjoy and that should be the aim.
35:59
And I think Imam Ali means like that.
36:00
It's like they're looking after you.
36:02
They make sure that you're doing your best and they're supporting
36:04
you and vice versa. That's why I think in a way.
36:07
Yeah, No, I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right.
36:10
And if, if he's talking about craving your company, it's not
36:14
that they're craving your company because you make good
36:16
jokes or you, they're craving your company because you show
36:20
them how to become financially free.
36:21
You know you know sometimes we we we we meet or we greet or we
36:28
go to certain places because something benefits us in this
36:31
dunya this whether it's finances or some life hack and God knows
36:35
what right. I know how how can I fight fly
36:37
business class while only paying for an economy ticket Yeah
36:41
networking any everyone's after his muscle high he's looking
36:44
like what benefits him I'll go to him or sit in that circle or
36:48
call him and and that's really annoying by the mean.
36:51
Sometimes you get calls or messages like they say Salaam,
36:54
how are you? We miss you long time 10 seconds
36:57
later. Why do I got a question blah,
36:59
blah, blah, blah, the favor no problem.
37:01
But you know, don't start with this whole this whole son, I'm
37:04
like, you really miss us, right? But in reality, I think what the
37:08
Imam is saying is that that company that he's referring to
37:11
one, it's one that takes you towards gender 100%, but one
37:15
that's filled, filled with the island, filled with the cruel
37:19
law, filled with, as you said, you know, making me a better
37:23
person, you know, learning from them, benefiting from them.
37:26
Because when they go and you missed them, why do you miss
37:28
them? Because there's a void.
37:32
And this void is not just emotional.
37:33
No, it's, it's, it's now I've I've lost.
37:36
Like, for example, when I spoke about Salem Hamdulillah Shirazi
37:38
at the beginning, when he passed away, Allahu Akbar Maha, bro
37:43
Maha was finished. I felt like I lost.
37:47
And bro, I was 15 years old and I was listening to his lectures
37:53
and his sermons and all the classes that were available they
37:57
support online on YouTube and and Zahra TV and things like
38:01
this. When he died and that stopped
38:03
coming in while I felt a void of knowledge like Hamdallah.
38:07
We have many scholars. Hamdallah.
38:10
May Allah protect them and bless those who have left this world.
38:15
But that's the sort of companies referring to. 90% that's that's
38:19
what their moms. Say not who you go to the Shisha
38:21
Cafe with or not who you go to. I don't know, just holidays and
38:25
fun with. No, it's like real, real moment
38:28
in bro, like a real moment in and moment as well.
38:31
We don't forget our sisters and may Allah bless them.
38:36
We need to look at our circles. Honestly, I, I think, I think 1
38:40
reflection, if we can take from this conversation today, it's
38:43
who's the five people close to us.
38:46
Are they? Are they, are they taking us
38:47
towards Jenna? Are they?
38:48
Taking you towards Jenna? Are they taking you towards the
38:51
fence of Hellfire which is scary?
38:53
Is there something inshallah any of us would experience?
38:56
But who are our friends? Because when we look left and
39:01
right and the time of need brought beyond that, when we
39:05
die, is our friends going to read Quran for us?
39:09
Are they going to do humble hair for us and send an hour an hour
39:12
away? You never know that that.
39:15
The French checking, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:18
You open the kind of ones though.
39:20
I'm going to do that tonight inshallah and hopefully the
39:23
views as. Well, no, we need, we need to be
39:26
accountable and I think we will also be held accountable on who
39:31
we are friends with 100% yes. Because I think we may think on
39:36
the day of judgement, we can fool ourselves and tell Allah,
39:40
you know what? I saw him do it, so I done it.
39:44
Or, you know, it wasn't a bad thing.
39:46
Everyone else was doing it. So I, I jumped on the bandwagon.
39:48
No, it's not the case broke. Everyone's got his own Hassab
39:53
Hassab. And we're not, we're not fooling
39:56
Allah. We're the false.
39:58
So let's not be false. And yeah, man, look at our
40:02
circles. Look at our circles.
40:05
Because you said at the very beginning, you know what you
40:07
consume. Or you become your.
40:10
It's become you. What you listen to, who you
40:12
speak with, this is also your friends circle, who you chill
40:15
with, who you hang around with, who you share your secrets with,
40:19
who you know, friends. And I think this is also a good
40:25
conversation we can have one day.
40:26
And what's a good friend? What's their characteristics?
40:30
What should we, how we should be as friends, you know, by the
40:35
way. And they're always blaming other
40:37
people. And we say, for example, OK, he
40:40
did it, so I'll do it. Or, you know, he went there, so
40:43
I went there. Or you know, he persuaded me to
40:46
do XYZ and whatnot. But have we ever thought of what
40:52
if we are negatively impacting our own friends?
40:57
What if we're the reason or we're to blame for how they
41:00
talk, where they walk, where they go, what they do?
41:05
And what's scary is that you think, OK, even if you don't
41:08
know that you directly influence them, but if you somehow turn
41:13
out to be the reason they get in sin and you get in their sins
41:16
as. Well, so.
41:18
It's something that you need to look after.
41:20
For like, what makes a good friend?
41:27
Just one characteristic. Good friend.
41:29
What makes a good a good Muslim friend?
41:32
Because there's friends, but then there's Muslim friends and
41:35
I, and I think as Muslims, let's just focus within our own circle
41:40
because we want gender. I mean, to be fair, I don't.
41:42
I think one of my friends are Muslim.
41:44
I don't have Muslim friends. I don't know if it's a good
41:46
thing or bad thing, but all my friends of Muslim hamdullah.
41:49
But one thing that I always look for in a good friend is that
41:56
they understand the value of having a good friend.
42:02
For example, a lot of people don't understand that having a
42:04
good friend, a real friend is rare.
42:06
Like don't tell me like everyone could be a real friend to you
42:09
know. I mean, like it's a lot of
42:11
people will show one face after you leave the next face.
42:14
But even though it's very hard to test, I don't know.
42:18
Did that look something new? No, this is this is the reality
42:21
of life, the reality of life, like people can give one energy,
42:30
one impact, one impression and one smile and one hug and one
42:35
handshake in front of you and behind you can be something else
42:40
absolutely different, the complete opposite.
42:42
And you would never know. You would never know.
42:45
And but you can always sometimes I think I lost 1 of Attallah has
42:51
blessed some people that can differentiate and tell between
42:56
who's who's good and who's not. Also I think like I don't know
43:01
if you have this feeling but I always have it sometime it got
43:04
to be your. Heart.
43:06
Will be like, OK, even from the first mean I was like, OK, this
43:09
could be everlasting friendship and what's funny is not what's
43:13
funny. But nanny, some people you would
43:16
love them straight away some people you hate them straight
43:17
away. And this will go back again to
43:20
how the souls can that can recognize one another.
43:23
Because I know we don't we didn't always live in this
43:25
thing. Yeah, also was never in the
43:27
senior. Some of us were in fact friends
43:31
in other awarding. I remember we had a discussion
43:35
here which said had the London creep and we were speaking about
43:39
death and I think life also before this life where there's
43:43
different walls. And I actually mentioned this
43:46
point to him. I was like, no, sometimes I feel
43:48
like when I meet someone, I've met them before somewhere.
43:51
So I was like Deja vu, like where have I come across you?
43:54
Or like, why is why do I feel like we can connect from the
43:58
first moment we we shook hands and says Salaam and I, if I'm
44:02
not mistaken, I need to go back to the episode, but I think he
44:05
said that you may have been friends and other island or
44:09
island. Yeah, so so sometimes, you know,
44:14
your friends were made way before.
44:16
And you're lucky to meet them. You know, and now you meet them
44:18
now Inshallah, also meet them in gender Inshallah by Yemen.
44:23
You know, when we talk about people who portray one thing in
44:29
front of you and do something else behind you, I think that
44:32
leads into sincerity. And I think it's very important.
44:37
Like when we tell someone I hope you're well.
44:43
Meaning it, yeah. If your friend tells you pray
44:47
for me, pray for him, I'll say yeah, yeah.
44:51
And. Never forget.
44:52
And never pray for him. So we also need to think as
44:57
well. Honestly, we need to reflect
45:01
people. Think good of us.
45:02
We better be good people say something positive about us.
45:07
That positive better be true because this is something you
45:10
are portraying and you don't want to go to on sincerity, you
45:13
don't want to go to hypocrisy, you don't want to fall under any
45:17
of that category because that's not a category we should.
45:21
Be in and I think that the the Imam Assad also said that if you
45:26
have a, if you've done an action for the sake of policing people,
45:29
their world will go to the people.
45:31
But if you do and action for the sake of Allah, their world will
45:34
come. From Allah so.
45:36
You need to be very clear with the intention to yourself.
45:39
Do not lie to yourself because something is very easy that you
45:41
do that. Like we like to ourselves that
45:43
I'm doing this. We're sick of Allah.
45:44
But real and truly deep down, you know that, OK, this, this
45:47
person is going to like it and this person is going to like it.
45:49
Then the Thorpe is gone. No, of course, of course, I I
45:52
think by the way, as a final point from me, I remember I read
45:59
the story about Mohammed Hassan Ali Salaam where he had a
46:02
positive impact speaking about good impressions and things,
46:06
where his impact was mad because he met a man, well a man
46:11
originally from Surya at that time he and he was someone who
46:16
was a known Nasabi who hated a Helen bait Ali hum Salaam.
46:22
He crossed paths with Imam al Hassan and he cursed the Imam
46:28
and he cursed a little bait in front of Imam al Hassan.
46:32
Maybe you know the story and Imam Al Hassan response to him
46:36
and he tells him you know all son of Adam, you may be a
46:40
stranger in this city. You're in the house.
46:42
If you need shelter, you know, we'll in the house, we'll give
46:45
you a home. If you need food, we'll feed you
46:47
and everything. And the guy was baffled.
46:49
Because I just, I just insulted you and you're acting and you're
46:52
acting. Yeah, so he goes to, you know, I
46:53
just cursed you and I cursed your family and everything, and
46:58
you're caring and treating me like, you know, where in this
47:02
day and age is like BFF. So I don't want to say it like
47:05
that, but that's the level of a clock that little bait had that
47:08
eventually he became a loyal companion of Imam Al Hassan Ali
47:16
Hassan. And there's also a similar story
47:19
with Imam Al Hussain, by the way.
47:21
But that goes to show like that household that.
47:31
You can't go wrong. You can't go wrong.
47:34
If we look up to them, if we read about their lives, their
47:37
Sierra, the biographies, the impact they had on the society
47:42
that they lived, how they dealt with Muslims, how they dealt
47:45
with non-Muslims, how they dealt with their enemies.
47:48
Imam Ali, we go back to his own killer.
47:52
How we offer them the cup of water.
47:55
All of these things like these leave certain impressions.
47:59
Like even if you think now let's say even Mujim, OK, he didn't
48:04
become Muslim. Yeah, he's a hypocrite, but we
48:08
know he didn't become a Muslim. But just that simple act of
48:13
kindness, of offering your killer the cup of water until
48:17
today makes me think. How can someone do?
48:21
That wow. Listen, this is this is also a
48:23
point to tell the people that listen, I had a bait.
48:26
Whatever they do is divine. It's divine.
48:31
I think there's a one time the Prophet Muhammad Ali after a
48:34
Salah to a Salaam, there's a there's AI don't know the full
48:38
narration, but it says that Ali wanted to come to the house and
48:41
then he knocked on the door of the Prophet Muhammad and he
48:44
said, oh Ali, did you not know that you that my house is your
48:47
house? He said that one of the manners
48:51
of that entering the house is by knocking.
48:53
He said, so doctor Ali, you are right Ali, you love whatever
48:57
Allah loves. So let's just tell you that
48:59
every action that they do is for the sake of Allah and it's from
49:03
Allah Subhana Taala as well. Is is Salaam Allah alayhi.
49:08
I don't know how people just like ignore their life and
49:14
sometimes we have Muslims who claim to love the hell bait and
49:18
love those who hurt them, oppressed them, angered them,
49:20
killed them, butchered them. And there's so much things I
49:23
think everyone needs to reflect on.
49:24
Not just Shia but non-Muslims listening Muslims listening.
49:28
Who are the hell baits? Who are these, you know,
49:31
gatekeepers and doors of knowledge and the the ones who
49:35
take you to Rasul Allah sallallallahu alaihi wasallam,
49:38
the ones who give you the tafsir and that wheel and the 10 zeal
49:41
of the Quran. Like bro, look at the hell bait.
49:46
Just look for albeit. I forget Andrew Tate.
49:49
Yes please. Who is Andrew Tate when you have
49:51
the albeit? That's the call of the name.
49:53
Muhammad Ali Muhammad. Well, Ahlah's sincerity,
49:59
humility, these are not just ideas, these are just commitment
50:03
and the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
50:05
And the albeit has not conquered the heart by the sword, but by
50:10
the Ahlah and the manners. And today at Hamdulillah, we
50:13
have we've talked about this and hopefully we covered as many
50:16
points as we would like to. You have anything else to add?
50:20
Do I have anything else to add? I would say I've enjoyed this
50:25
conversation. I think there's so much that we
50:31
can take into our lives, especially for those listening
50:37

50:40
things that maybe you can relate to or perhaps you can share with

50:56
a positive impact? Where if you were to listen to a
50:59
conversation or for example, is there a specific topic that you
51:03
discuss with your friends and they say you know what?
51:06
