- 1:01exciting discussions. Yes, it's the month of Ramadan.
- 1:04So again, I hope all your Armada are accepted, your Fars are

- 1:10serious conversation today. But before we get into the
- 1:12exciting discussion, I want to say, how are you doing, Ahmed?
- 1:29Everyone knows. That's why.
- 1:38I'm. Asking.
- 1:41Between Between our last podcast, for those who don't

- 1:54A lot. A lot.
- 1:57Baraka in different ways. Exactly.
- 2:01Someland Indian Persian was mashallah.
- 2:03Hey, you're the the king of Arabic.
- 2:07My old. Vocabulary, very useful words.
- 2:13Amdulla amdulla saying. How are you?
- 2:16I'm more happy now that we have an amazing guest joining us.
- 2:19Thank you so much. And I think before we kick off
- 2:21this conversation today, I know everyone's excited to know what
- 2:23we're about to discuss. But before we dive into this
- 2:27discussion, there is a question you want to ask.
- 2:30There is. Yes, yes.
- 2:31Well Ahmed, so for those who don't know, you of course joined
- 2:34us a few months ago during the days of Arbaeen.
- 2:37We had such an amazing conversation.
- 2:40We got to see your passion for the Ahlid Bait Lahim Salaam.
- 2:43Then today, inshallah we will see it as well in in a happier
- 2:46period as well. But we have a an activity we
- 2:51like to do with the guests who come on to the podcast
- 2:53different. We didn't have this before.
- 2:56Now you're here for the first time after coming last time, so
- 3:00we want to ask you a surprise question for people to know
- 3:03Mullah Ahmed Siddiq outside of the Jawami.
- 3:07OK. So the question today we have
- 3:09for you is if you could have one superpower, what would it be?
- 3:15To travel anywhere, anytime, teleport a bail Arab in Arabic
- 3:21A. If I want to be in Karbala now,
- 3:23I will go to Karbala now. A law.
- 3:25I need to travel, yeah. You know Mol Ahmed, just before
- 3:29the podcast, we were deciding the question I said to say much
- 3:32about what do you think about the superpower question?
- 3:34He said. Mol Ahmed's going to say that I
- 3:36could travel to Karabala. Malala he he he guessed it
- 3:41exactly. That's I hope, by the way, it is
- 3:44possible to have it, so pray Eli, give it to me.
- 3:49Your heart can be a karabala anytime.
- 3:52I sent him. Well, Ahmed, how are you?
- 3:53How's your? How's the?
- 3:54Everything. It's fine.
- 3:55Hamdulillah, Beautiful night, beautiful being seeing you guys,
- 3:59seeing your show, and I'm so happy for you guys.
- 4:02Seriously, I am honoured to be next to you.
- 4:05So I hope we can talk a good talk to the INSHA.
- 4:09Very kind of. You know, during this blessed
- 4:11month, there's so many events, so many community gatherings.
- 4:16One thing we always yes, OK, we come together, we do the ire, we
- 4:20pray. But the social element of
- 4:22Ramadan is very important, so we always say Ramadan.
- 4:26People like to grow their families.
- 4:28You have mothers who are coming to the mosque, maybe looking for
- 4:32daughter in laws for their sons, or for example you have fathers
- 4:36looking for son in Maybe sometimes we don't discuss, we
- 4:43should discuss marriage. How can I use Ramadan this time
- 4:49to understand if I want to look for a spouse?
- 4:52Where do I begin? Where should I look?
- 4:54What should I look for? Big question.
- 5:03I think if you go to Canada, if you move to America, if you go
- 5:10to the Brazil, maybe Europe, Africa, Gulf, Iraq, Iran, China,
- 5:18anywhere, anywhere, we have the same exact problem.
- 5:25Previously I was in Turkey with our youth of friends in the
- 5:29Shiism community, the same problem saying marriage, how to
- 5:36choose a wife, how to choose a husband.
- 5:40This is our problem and I think that in the month of Ramadan we
- 5:44should take the advantage that our heart is open to God.
- 5:48And you know all of the demons are chained, so the blessings
- 5:54are there. So we need to take the advantage
- 5:58of not getting married or propose at least take like.
- 6:04Intention. It's easy.
- 6:07Take the intention, raise your hand.
- 6:09Ask God to have the most perfect partner, then can help you in
- 6:15this life and the afterlife both lives.
- 6:19You know when you said that the issues anywhere in the world are
- 6:23the same, obviously for those who don't know, you don't live
- 6:27in the UK, so the issues we have in the UK, said Ali.
- 6:32Some of the issues we have here social media, free mixing
- 6:37between genders, maybe hijab, things like that, right?
- 6:42Would you say some of those issues exist in the Middle East?
- 6:45Maybe not the same title, but exactly the same issues.
- 6:51Maybe here it comes out like gender.
- 6:55We don't have it there, but we have the similar and a different
- 6:58way. Maybe in the way of thinking
- 7:00you. For example, in the UK, nobody
- 7:04wants to marry the believer, the one who goes to Husseini, the
- 7:10one who because he is too conflicted and he is like,
- 7:15that's it. Close minded.
- 7:18Close minded. Thank you.
- 7:20He is so you have it here, right?
- 7:23The same in the Gulf. We live in a Muslim country next
- 7:28to Karbala next to Maka, the same issue said.
- 7:32Any believer is a close minded, a woman who wears abaya.
- 7:39She is close minded. It's the same problem.
- 7:45Really. Same you think it's different?
- 7:48Same problem. Well, look, can I mention
- 7:50something? You know, I have a lot of
- 7:51friends back in the day when I was young, younger.
- 7:53Well, I'm 31 now, I mean, back in my early 20s, we used to
- 7:57always have like conversations with my peers, you know, with
- 8:00people I trust, like they will always have a similar
- 8:03conversation. And one thing that always used
- 8:04to come up is do I want my wife to be religious?
- 8:09Because, you know, growing up here in the West, we sort of
- 8:11want to embrace having fun in our marriages and our
- 8:15relationships because we see everywhere we see like the
- 8:17Western world. You know, you can go out on a
- 8:20date with your wife, you can go out, you know, go to the cinema.
- 8:23Whatever it is, whatever people say is exciting for them.
- 8:26When we see religion and our spouse, we feel like we're going
- 8:29to go home, we're going to be bored, we're going to pray,
- 8:31we're going to read the Quran. It's a repeat.
- 8:33It's a cycle again and again and again.
- 8:35So a lot of people, I think, ask a question and I think we can
- 8:38move the conversation here is can a movement or a movement?
- 8:42Can a believer, A believing man or a believing woman have fun in
- 8:46their marriage life or they're just going to be bored?
- 8:50I hope I dare you, Yeah. At the end of the opposite, at
- 8:53the end of the episode, we will change the mindset of those who
- 8:57thinks like that. Shallow.
- 8:59Shallow. Yeah, and handle.
- 9:02I have too many friends say it. I don't want to interject of
- 9:05when I'm on the Kartik, but one thing I want to add as well that
- 9:08I used to observe. I used to see all the people.
- 9:11So maybe when I was a teenager I used to see the older generation
- 9:15say I want a a sporty husband for example.
- 9:19So when I was young, you know, there'll be conversations where
- 9:23the youth will have discussions with the Alim or something.
- 9:26Like the girl will say, I want a fun husband, I don't want him
- 9:28praying 24/7 going to the mosque, 2024, seven.
- 9:31I want to have fun. And so not just the brothers are
- 9:33saying this, the sisters speak about this as well.
- 9:36The problem is, say it that you know, when I proposed to my
- 9:39wife, I had a condition. No, I told her.
- 9:44I'm not joking. I had a condition beside of
- 9:49course what I believe what I how I said.
- 9:52I told her my condition is, and this is might be one of the most
- 9:57Yanni important conditions. I laugh too much.
- 10:01I need a wife who laughs with me at home.
- 10:07I want to go back home to play. I want to go back home to sit
- 10:14and talk. When I say to sect and talk not
- 10:17let's have a kids and no, no, no.
- 10:20You know when you go out with your friends, with your best
- 10:22friends and you love like sharing moments with your
- 10:26friend. People think that when you are
- 10:28religious this option is not available at home.
- 10:32This is our problem. Any moment I will say it
- 10:35straight, say it so that we can cut everything and we go onto
- 10:39the subject. Anyone who hits his wife is not
- 10:44a moment. Anyone who raised his voice in a
- 10:49way that he shows. Yeah, honey.
- 10:54No, no, no, Adam. Disrespect.
- 10:58Thank you so much. When he raised his voice in a
- 11:01way that he is disrespect his wife.
- 11:05He is not a woman. Anyone who is sitting at as
- 11:10sitting at his at his home. Sorry, forgive my English.
- 11:13They know huh. English is amazing.
- 11:16So. And he prays and he do Salat
- 11:20Alil and he recite Quran. And Charlotte is all accepted.
- 11:23And he don't give his wife the love.
- 11:27And he doesn't show his wife the love she need and she don't
- 11:32need. He is not a moment, so let's
- 11:36keep that in mind. Don't tell me that this reciter
- 11:40or this or this who go to the Masjid or this.
- 11:43He is not a man. A moment in the hadith.
- 11:48He is. He laughs, He laughs.
- 11:53He make everyone laughs. Everyone wants to be with him.
- 11:57This is a moment. So we are talking about the
- 12:00moment. Don't tell me we have examples.
- 12:03We have examples everywhere. We have to know who is moment
- 12:07from the hadith from the. Criteria.
- 12:10The criteria is. He doesn't do harm.
- 12:14The criteria is he laughs too much.
- 12:18The criteria is when you are with him, you want to be with
- 12:21him and you want the time to be stopped.
- 12:25You want to live with him. Allah.
- 12:28No Allah, I am. You know I have a friend.
- 12:32I hope that he is not watching me.
- 12:35I hope that his wife doesn't watch this episode.
- 12:38It's not our fault because I think it's personal, but but he
- 12:44knows. Forgive me my friend, but you
- 12:46know it's good for all the one who will listen.
- 12:50Sorry. Do you know what?
- 12:52Did he type the name of his wife in his phone?
- 12:58And sometimes if if anyone wants to to to write anything, what do
- 13:02they write? My love.
- 13:04My love, maybe. Someone said my life.
- 13:12Or. Just wife.
- 13:15Wife or government? Seriously.
- 13:22OK, he wrote. Wasea Torah, Solinda?
- 13:28What a reminder. Wasiya 2 Can you translate
- 13:31please? The Wasiya is like when you
- 13:33leave something behind the will, the will of.
- 13:36Rasulullah, I told him so. She, his wife called him was
- 13:42Come on dude, what happened? Why was he to Rasulullah?
- 13:47He said. Ahmed Sometimes I feel angry and
- 13:51she calls and I don't want. Like when I remind myself that
- 13:56she is the will of our prophet. Of course I will treat her the
- 14:00way. Yanni, the way that our prophet
- 14:04will be pleased. This is my friend, I know him.
- 14:08Yanni, even if this is how the men take care of his family, of
- 14:15his wife. Believe me in household, in our
- 14:19houses. Say it.
- 14:21I At least I believe that when I go sometimes, you know, because
- 14:24I am a reciter, I travel too much.
- 14:26Maybe I have magitis, Maybe. Maybe this and that projects
- 14:30everywhere. So sometimes I feel that.
- 14:33And I am. Yeah.
- 14:35Why? So?
- 14:36I am tired. I can't even smile.
- 14:40I try. I stand at the at my doorstep.
- 14:44I don't enter my home until I can draw a smile on my face.
- 14:48Sometimes I laugh, maybe like the crazy, the crazy ones,
- 14:53because I want to enter the house with a smile.
- 14:56Good energy. Good.
- 14:57Thank you so much. Because not just because I love
- 15:01my wife. Not just because I love my kids.
- 15:05Not just because I want to please them.
- 15:08It's yeah, I mean, it's the most amazing reason, of course.
- 15:12But I know when I enter home and I please them.
- 15:16Or at least I don't like, I don't put burden exactly more
- 15:25burden in my life. I enter because I know that
- 15:29pleases my prophet, that pleases that pleases.
- 15:34Sahib Al Asri was the man. Especially you know, in these
- 15:36days. Sorry to interrupt you, but in
- 15:38these days for those of us who are married our we come home
- 15:42from work, our wives have prepared for Thor everything is
- 15:45ready 3 course meal Mashallah feeding the kids they set you up
- 15:51for solar. Everything is ready, Hamdullah.
- 15:54And then sometimes as men maybe we are tired, we're fasting,
- 15:58we're hungry, we're thirsty, we're low on sleep and so on.
- 16:02You know, we mentioned me and said, Ali mentioned a story a
- 16:05few weeks ago on on one episode there was a lady called by the
- 16:09name of Khala who came to the sullah Muhammad.
- 16:14And she said to me my husband, he prays, he fasts in the day,
- 16:19he fasts in the night, he prays mashallah, he goes to the to the
- 16:23Masjid and but he doesn't have time for me and my family, my
- 16:28kids what do I do? So Salah Muhammad went to him
- 16:33and he said, I know you are trying to serve our last palata
- 16:37Allah. I know your NIA is the right
- 16:39NIA. But trust me when I tell you
- 16:42that your Amal are not accepted until you look after your family
- 16:461st. And this just a reminder to ask
- 16:50that you know when we say charity begins at home, it's
- 16:53because the the the service we do first and foremost is to our
- 16:57wife and our children. But I want to ask you
- 16:59specifically about those who are not married, OK.
- 17:02Because a lot of the youth, Hamdullah, who are listening and
- 17:05watching the podcasts are trying to be better, what means trying
- 17:09to be closer to alas Pano to Allah and trying to find someone
- 17:14who matches them in the Holy Quran, alas Pano Allah mentions
- 17:17that good people are meant for good people.
- 17:20So if I am not married, for example, I want to be a good
- 17:24person, how do I find a good person and what characteristics
- 17:30do they have? Choose the movement, choose the
- 17:34believer and trust that they believe.
- 17:37You have to know what is a believer to choose a believer.
- 17:40That's a good thing to think of. And if you don't know exactly
- 17:44what's a believer, so how can you find someone?
- 17:47Don't. Again, the problem is with the
- 17:49example. Don't give me any example.
- 17:51Please know from the narration what is the criteria of the
- 17:56believer. Then depend on it and go for it
- 17:59and you will live a good life. And it's not just, it's.
- 18:03It's it's it's everything. Say it.
- 18:05It's everything. Yeah.
- 18:07I mean, a moment. For example, a moment.
- 18:09Who doesn't care about his mother and father?
- 18:13Do you think that he will care about his wife?
- 18:14Of course not. This is not a moment.
- 18:17Don't choose that moment because like he do love them or he he go
- 18:21to Caraballo. No, no no we are not talking
- 18:23about that example. We are talking about an example
- 18:25that the moment have a special criterias that is mentions and
- 18:30mentioned and hadith narrations. So when you have a good idea
- 18:37because your vision now is is blurry, you don't know how to
- 18:41choose, you have to read you again.
- 18:44I mentioned that you remember in the previous podcast, we have to
- 18:48read the narrations. We have to read the narrations,
- 18:52we have to read what's moment. For example, the moment I think
- 18:58Jabbar came to Ali and he asked Safli, A Shia, give me sadly
- 19:05saying that. Make me understand the specifics
- 19:08of what makes someone a Shia. Then Imam Salamullahi answered
- 19:12and he said I don't know anyone that has this examples so he
- 19:18mentioned a very beautiful sentence.
- 19:21He said Anyone who said I love. Anyone who said I love Muhammad
- 19:41Sallallahu and he and. He doesn't follow in their
- 19:49footsteps. Thank you so much.
- 19:52This is not love. If you love Ahilbait Salamullahi
- 19:57Alayhim, it will show in your actions.
- 20:01I can't see that. Choose someone.
- 20:05Choose a believer and trust me. Do you think that if you chose
- 20:09someone like a doctor or a dentist or maybe a pilot or.
- 20:13And he is not a moment, sometimes he is a moment, so he
- 20:16is not. But because.
- 20:17No, no, no. Believe me a moment.
- 20:22The betrayal, it's not in his. Dictionary.
- 20:26He's loyal. He can't betrayed.
- 20:30He can't betray. I can.
- 20:34I can give you a promise he can betray.
- 20:37If he is a true believer and we are talking about the true he
- 20:41can be. He can't.
- 20:47It's not an option in his life. Why It's Haram?
- 20:53An unbeliever maybe he is giving something from his heart to to
- 21:00be like faithful but nothing is chaining his his hand.
- 21:05He can't do whatever he wants, whenever he needs anything he
- 21:08can do it. But a believer he can't betray,
- 21:13He can't lie. He doesn't waver.
- 21:18Thank you so much. He is straightforward.
- 21:21You can't count on him. You can't count on his word.
- 21:26You know what does it feel when he say I love you?
- 21:31It's different because it comes from a heart that loves God.
- 21:37A tongue that mentions God. I know ammo.
- 21:50Amen. What's ammo in English?
- 21:51I think the same. A scholar, A scholar who is Imam
- 21:54who has the. Turban.
- 21:55He is famous. He is famous.
- 22:00Everyone knows him. Everyone you know him, you're
- 22:03everyone knows him. OK?
- 22:06He's the most romantic person I have ever seen in my life.
- 22:14When we talk about the the marriage situation, I told him
- 22:20come on, say it, What's happening?
- 22:23He said. Ahmed, well, I love my wife.
- 22:25Well, I have to go back home. Do you know what did he do?
- 22:28You know he has a library in his home.
- 22:31You know, You know, I'll ask you.
- 22:34Later. Because he was there when he
- 22:37mentioned the story, you know. So we asked him how seriously
- 22:42you guys you are a believer, you are a scholar.
- 22:45So do you seriously have? And you fall in love, No.
- 22:48Seriously, I love life. We we want to ask you Romance.
- 22:51Romance. Come on, you are you where you
- 22:53were a Mama? And this and that.
- 22:55You read too much. You study too much.
- 22:57You talk too much. Like me.
- 22:59So seriously, do you have a romantic life?
- 23:02When I say a romantic life, yeah, I mean a romantic.
- 23:06Like a romantic life. Which we understand.
- 23:09Yeah. Don't.
- 23:11Don't give me a thing we don't understand.
- 23:13Not. Romeo and Juliet.
- 23:15Not silly, he told me. Ahmed, I will defeat you.
- 23:18All guys said how? I said Alhamdulillah, he said
- 23:22Alhamdulillah, Yeah, I mean I try to show my love every day to
- 23:29my wife, to tell her, to remind her I love her every month.
- 23:37And I'm not doing that because I want her to be happy.
- 23:42I need to do that because I love her.
- 23:46Al Hamdullah. Because I pray to God that I
- 23:51want my house or to be a household which fulfill with
- 23:57Iman, with Taqwa, with Warah, and with love and with
- 24:01happiness. So once I made amaze, correct,
- 24:07right, made amaze, amaze, amaze, and there is a tie.
- 24:11You have to, you have to open the secret and to find what did
- 24:16you do, he said. My wife, she used to be a simple
- 24:21woman, but I gave her. I taught her.
- 24:25I let her listen to the, you know, truth and lessons here and
- 24:31there. So now she knows what's cafe,
- 24:34what's Behal and War, what's so I make a puzzle that there is a
- 24:40piece paper in each so. One in each.
- 24:49Part and you and you have to look for it to find my love.
- 24:54For example. Now the the the rest of the
- 24:58message with his handwriting. The rest with the message it is
- 25:03mentioned on the that title on El Cafe.
- 25:07So you have to know which title, which part of El Cafe for
- 25:11example. He's testing his wife and
- 25:15showing his love. Thank you so much.
- 25:17Yeah, I mean someone's think that we can combine.
- 25:20No, no, we can combine this man. I mean, because I know him.
- 25:25He told me. Ahmed.
- 25:26Well, I have never told my wife anything.
- 25:30Now She begged me to do jamaah in our home.
- 25:36To do jamaah in our home. I pray.
- 25:39She prays behind me. We do jamaah everywhere every
- 25:44time home. Ahmed When we eat, we go to
- 25:48restaurants. We eat and we have fun.
- 25:50We go travel. We and also we love Ahlilpet
- 25:53Salaam Ali. She wake me for Salat Ali the
- 25:58prayer night. We have a good life Ahmed.
- 26:00I love her. Why?
- 26:02Why did we open the subject? Do you think I travelled with
- 26:06him? OK.
- 26:07We were in a hotel in some country.
- 26:11OK? Suddenly the door knocked.
- 26:15We open. Then the flowers.
- 26:17I said say it. What you are doing here?
- 26:22Who brought you flowers? Say it.
- 26:26You were imam, he said. You know, he didn't laugh, so he
- 26:33didn't laugh. I don't think he will watch.
- 26:35I'm getting English. No, no, no, I don't think he
- 26:37will watch an English officer. So he smiled and he was.
- 26:41He talked with the with the trust, you know, read the name.
- 26:46She was his wife from his country.
- 26:50She looked for a shop that sells flowers.
- 26:54She paid with the visa to abroad.
- 26:57Just to mention, I love you a lot.
- 26:59Seriously, It moved me, you know, because he was a Mama.
- 27:03People think that. People think he'd be boring.
- 27:06Exactly. People think he's far away.
- 27:08He has different lifestyle and. Well, Ahmed, no one can make you
- 27:13laugh like this, man. I know what I am saying.
- 27:17No one can make you laugh. I'm not talking about.
- 27:20You know what it is. It's like you said.
- 27:21It's when you have that, when you are a true moment, you can't
- 27:26lie, you can't betray. You know we are talking about
- 27:30what Menin who? When they cry for Abdullah
- 27:35Hussain Ali Salaam, they are crying tears of love.
- 27:39You know the companions. Their stories are all love.
- 27:43Their stories are all love. Everything in that is sacrifice,
- 27:47is devotion, is loyalty, is compassion.
- 27:51It's it's giving themselves to Allah's panel, to Allah, to each
- 27:55other, to protect each other, to serve us as more Menin as
- 27:59followers, they gave themselves for us.
- 28:02That is the definition of love. And when we understand that that
- 28:06is divine love. Love for each other becomes
- 28:09easy. Do you see what I mean?
- 28:11Love for your wife becomes easy. It doesn't even become something
- 28:14you have to plan. You don't think?
- 28:16You don't think? You don't think it becomes
- 28:18natural to you? You know, you wait.
- 28:20Yesterday I'm going to expose myself.
- 28:24Yesterday was was it? What day is it?
- 28:26Today There's not. Not yesterday on Monday.
- 28:30This week I got to work. 7:00 AM Eight AMI called my wife.
- 28:38She said hello. So I'm like first thing I said I
- 28:40love you to my wife. OK?
- 28:42She says why are you starting the phone call like this?
- 28:46What did you do? I said no no I said I want to
- 28:51say the first I love you of this week, not you, she said.
- 28:55Ahmed, I beat you because last night midnight I told you I but
- 29:00you know we some like you said mother you can have competition
- 29:03have fun. You can make you can make
- 29:06romance fun. Your marriages can be fun.
- 29:10You know, it's it's you have to understand each other, you have
- 29:13to and you have to go in this same direction.
- 29:15Everyone says marriage is a triangle, husband, wife, and at
- 29:19the top is our last Pomota island.
- 29:21And when you're all working in the same direction, because
- 29:24you're on the same page, your your energy, your ambition.
- 29:27Because technically, a marriage is supposedly it's a it's a
- 29:31place where you come together and it takes you closer to a
- 29:33lost part of that. That's the main goal, the main
- 29:35purpose of marriage. But that's like the foundation.
- 29:37If you have the love of Allah and you are a woman and you're a
- 29:40woman, that love is going to come to you.
- 29:42But. See, both of you said you are a
- 29:44servant, you have a podcast, you have here and there work.
- 29:47If your wife is not a moment, is not a believer, she will not
- 29:52appreciate what you will do. She will not support you.
- 29:55She will think that it's a project, that it's only taking
- 29:59your time away from me. That's it when you have a
- 30:03movement partner. She's understanding.
- 30:07She has your back. She supports you.
- 30:09And she wants you to go for it. She and she knows that your
- 30:13heart is for example. I can't say this.
- 30:16I think I can. Do you think I am happy being
- 30:18away? No, I am not.
- 30:22And at this particular moment, Allah Ali, I swear in the name
- 30:26of Imam Hussain Salaam Ali. I miss my wife so much.
- 30:31I miss my kids so much. I want to be with them and I
- 30:34know that she knows that maybe I live with you guys.
- 30:38I have fun. I am traveling.
- 30:40She is not. Maybe.
- 30:42But she knows that the moment that Ahmed can take us with him,
- 30:46he will take us. The moment that Ahmed can be at
- 30:50home, he will not do anything. You know, sometimes when I go
- 30:53back home, I don't want to do anything.
- 30:56I just want to sit home to look at my kids, to look at my wife,
- 31:00to sit with them. That even if I don't do
- 31:03anything, if my wife is a woman, she knows that that is true,
- 31:08that I'm not joking. I'm not exaggerating.
- 31:11I really need to show my love because it's for me.
- 31:16Yeah, Not only because I want to make her her, of course I want
- 31:21to make her, but also because in deeply in my heart this is, I
- 31:26believe that God, God has a role to connect them together in His
- 31:39way, in his way. And if you want me to tell you
- 31:42the stories of we have a million stories about how God, I know he
- 31:50he was he was the reason that they are together happy and yeah
- 31:56and I believe that. And when you when you look at
- 31:59the Maraja and previously you know the his wife died one month
- 32:08ago, 1-2 months ago his wife died.
- 32:11You don't know what happened Shehui, because I previously I
- 32:16visited Shehui. So I asked here and there they
- 32:20told me that Shehui and he he is 104 years old century.
- 32:30It's a century for God's sake, a century living with one woman.
- 32:36It's a lifetime we are talking about S, not a decade we are
- 32:41talking about. Century.
- 32:45And he got him. It's not maybe appropriate to
- 32:49say it, but a close friend to the office of Sheikh Wahid told
- 32:53me that Sheikh Wahid was broken when his wife go.
- 33:00That's been a century. Does love lived that long?
- 33:07Even at the movies, we don't see it nowadays.
- 33:11He was faithful to his wife. He made matchless, but you know
- 33:16he can't walk. He can't.
- 33:19But he was divested. So the world.
- 33:22Devastated. Thank you so much.
- 33:23This is the world because his wife is gone, so he is a merger.
- 33:31He is the head of the believers. Now he's.
- 33:33A jurist. He's a very big, non world
- 33:34famous jurist. Yeah, Thank you.
- 33:36So. And he was.
- 33:36Heartbroken. Yeah, that's not a lot after.
- 33:40That's love. One century.
- 33:42Yeah, One 100 years. So let me ask you a question.
- 33:47What happened? Because on this love, even in
- 33:50the highest form we're talking about Majid Taklid.
- 33:54Yeah, can have such a deep love. Mashallah.
- 33:58But like you said at the beginning, many people face the
- 34:02same problems. Hard to find, mean a wife or
- 34:06husbandman, husband or when you are married, how to keep the
- 34:11relationship alive together. So we talked about having fun.
- 34:15Now I want to talk about something different when you
- 34:18have difficulty, OK, in the West or at least in in in our
- 34:22communities. I'm sure it's the same in the
- 34:24Middle East or in any part of the world.
- 34:28You have financial trouble, you have relationship trouble,
- 34:31disagreement, you have family problems between in laws and you
- 34:36disagree on the kids. Whatever it is, sometimes
- 34:39husband and wife will have difficult period, rocky period.
- 34:43In times like that, what can a husband do or a wife do to keep
- 34:50them happy or even to work past? Even if there's an issue, how do
- 34:55you accept the issue and move forward?
- 34:59It's not appropriate maybe to say this, but I will say it
- 35:02loudly. Of course.
- 35:05And I have financial problems, of course.
- 35:07There and there. We have any issues.
- 35:10We have maybe. OK handle.
- 35:13I have never, I have never raised my voice in front of my
- 35:20wife. And I promise you I will never
- 35:24dare to do this. I'm not about talking about
- 35:27hitting or something. No, it's it will never happen.
- 35:31Of course I have never raised my voice.
- 35:34Not because I am a good husband. No, I'm not.
- 35:37I try to be a good husband. I I hope that I can be a good
- 35:39husband. But it's because God's there in
- 35:44my eyes. When I treat my wife, when I
- 35:48treat my kids, when I treat, when I deal with the problem
- 35:52itself, When. Believe me, Ahmed, we need to
- 35:56reopen the title when we want to discuss about what is a
- 36:04believer, how juice. Please, please try to make a
- 36:09podcast with a scholar. Yeah, I need to talk about what
- 36:13is the science of a believer? How do we know I am a believer?
- 36:20How do we know that that person is a believer?
- 36:22How do we know? When we discuss this, we will
- 36:26know that the believer is a different case if a problem
- 36:31happened. For example, you know I just
- 36:37landed from any different country and they had image list
- 36:41and so my friend told me please hurry up, let's go and pray on
- 36:47the Husseini. I don't know we have to pray
- 36:48now, so let's pray now. I remember the hadith now.
- 36:55Maybe if I said in English it's not clear what you have to help.
- 36:57I'll try help. Yeah, a moment.
- 36:59We are talking about a moment. God was angry because he saw a
- 37:06moment. He prayed fast because he wants
- 37:12to open his shop, to sell, to have money, to help his family.
- 37:22He prayed. He prayed, but he prayed.
- 37:26Quickly. Quickly because to do something.
- 37:33Wildly What is Dunya? And the dunya thing he wants to
- 37:39do, is it Haram? No.
- 37:41No. It's his wajib, yes, he has to
- 37:44do it. It's a good thing, good deed.
- 37:47So God looked at them alike, he told them.
- 37:53Muskin, He prayed quickly for me to go for the risk which is in
- 38:04my hand. Allahu Akbar.
- 38:07Seriously. Allahu Akbar.
- 38:10Pray properly. You rushed to the risk, but you
- 38:13forget Al Razak, yeah? Yeah honey, it's it's it's a
- 38:17deal. You know that hadith that is
- 38:20only this hadith will change your mindset in your whole life.
- 38:26Ahmed, in your whole life say it.
- 38:30So put it in in marriage. God gave me the most
- 38:35understanding wife, the most good hearted wife, the wife who
- 38:41gave me my Nestle. I I know everyone of you guys.
- 38:47Offspring. Under the Dome of ABBA Abdullah
- 38:51we say Allah oh God, I want a believers.
- 38:54I want my son, my grandsons. I want them to do Nostra for
- 38:58Sahab Zaman to do to to be under the liad.
- 39:02She was the reason. So when when your mindset is
- 39:09systematically and it changed like in the moment mindset, you
- 39:13will see everything different. You are talking about financial
- 39:18problems. I don't care.
- 39:20I have got and he will open a door because he promised me if I
- 39:27got married it will give me risk.
- 39:32It's his promise, not mine. God, he's God.
- 39:38I have to believe in him. So if I'm not a woman, I even
- 39:43even if we had a fight for example if we had a fight we we
- 39:48talked about, we want to to have a discussion about the
- 39:51brotherhood of Uliah and what if you read the hadith of Allah
- 39:57Akbar, what does it mean to al mamasaddar Salam?
- 39:59Alaahi narrated if too many. Two Shia, they had a fight.
- 40:05Two believers. They Two believers.
- 40:07Thank you so much. They had, they had, they had a
- 40:10fight and they didn't reconcile. I will curse one of them.
- 40:15Wow. We have a hadith like this you
- 40:18know. So when you come on Ahmed, if
- 40:21you think about this hadith, how about?
- 40:23Golf. For me, one of these hadiths, we
- 40:28say the mic drops off the stage. And this?
- 40:33It's not talking about a husband and wife.
- 40:35It's not. It's not.
- 40:36It's talking about the believers.
- 40:39And she is a believer. She is one of the followers of.
- 40:47So I have to treat her like this.
- 40:50I have What's Hosnovan? Hosnovan I.
- 40:55It's translations of it. You understood it.
- 40:57Yeah. Yeah, I know what you mean.
- 40:58I have to have Hosnovan Ahmed. I think you I'm.
- 41:01I'm. Trying to.
- 41:04Figure out for example, if I think that you you are not doing
- 41:08a good thing. I have to think that.
- 41:10Of the doubt, so you give them an excuse.
- 41:14Say it again, It's. Benefit.
- 41:15Benefit of the doubt. He's learning Arabic.
- 41:17Again. Again.
- 41:18Again. Again.
- 41:18Again. Again.
- 41:20Benefit of doubt benefit. I will use it.
- 41:23And you give them an excuse, You say maybe they're this, maybe
- 41:26this. 70 excuses. By the way, it's Haram.
- 41:34I'm not a merger of course, but and every scholar mentioned it's
- 41:39Haram, it's Haram. It's Haram to take your wife's
- 41:46phone to look what's in it. Really.
- 41:50It's Haram. And vice versa.
- 41:54Exactly. Yes, it's Haram.
- 41:56Speaking that clear. Can I say it again?
- 41:59Please with a low. Voice it's Haram first of all.
- 42:04Yes. Because number one is her
- 42:06property. Camera.
- 42:07Thank you. Say it once again to the
- 42:08viewers, once more to the viewers.
- 42:10It's Haram to take your relative phone to look what's in it
- 42:17behind their back. It's Haram.
- 42:20So don't be cheeky, don't be sneaky.
- 42:22Don't go sideways. Don't do spying.
- 42:25A man is someone who is relieved, Habibi.
- 42:30He's relieved. I don't care.
- 42:32I deal with what I see in the front of my eyes.
- 42:37Bullet. Bullet, Sir, No.
- 42:41Full stop. I'm thinking 40 7.
- 42:52Ahmed, seriously. Well, I'm talking deeply from my
- 42:55heart. I mean, is someone who is seeing
- 42:59life as simple as it is. Don't.
- 43:04Don't look for trouble. Yeah, yeah.
- 43:06Don't chase trouble. It's look at me, it's Haram.
- 43:13If you propose to someone and to ask have you had a Haram
- 43:21relationship before It's Haram. It's not your business to search
- 43:28for the history of your partner, Haram.
- 43:33Unless she shares or he shares. Haram.
- 43:35OK. Haram.
- 43:38No one can say I did that Haram thing.
- 43:43Because the sin is between you and Allah.
- 43:45Haram. Haram.
- 43:50Haram. I am a lifters smile.
- 43:57Live with what you have, don't think too much.
- 44:01Deal with what you have now. If she is.
- 44:06I believe her now. I don't care what she was
- 44:10previously. I don't care.
- 44:12She is now treating me well. She is now with me in my home.
- 44:17I should choose to trust her not to look and to try to find
- 44:22something. Come on.
- 44:24It's not appropriate. A woman will not do that.
- 44:27A woman will. Because you know all of this,
- 44:31the problem, the conflicts come from this degree.
- 44:33It's a. Lack of trust.
- 44:36Thank you so much. A woman doesn't have because you
- 44:38have the benefit of doubt. I like.
- 44:42It. I.
- 44:46Believe I have this characteristics.
- 44:49Loyalty, trust, and you have that confidence in your spouse.
- 44:55You're you're happy and you're satisfied because you know you
- 44:58can trust them. They are a believer.
- 45:01You can believe in them. Nothing shakes his legs.
- 45:04He's He's Teddy. He's Teddy.
- 45:07Because sometimes we think like, you know, I have my community
- 45:10life. In my community I'm a morteman.
- 45:13Then I go to work, I'm employee, then I go home.
- 45:16I'm husband and father, You know, we shouldn't think like
- 45:19that because when you are good mortem in, you're good at work,
- 45:22you're good at home, you're good at home, you're good at work,
- 45:24you're good at Masjid, you're good at work, you're good at
- 45:26home, you're good at Masjid. It's all it's interlinked,
- 45:29interconnected. Can I ask, can I embarrass you
- 45:31to? Follow.
- 45:33Embarrass only. Only Ahmed no.
- 45:34Ahmed, think carefully. Can I embarrass you?
- 45:38I really don't know what to say, but Bismillah, I trust you trust
- 45:42is very close. This is true believers.
- 45:46No, no. Don't.
- 45:49Don't trust me, but I will tell you something.
- 45:53Don't answer. Do you want the horain?
- 45:56Don't answer. Smile.
- 46:01No, stop. Smile on the clothes.
- 46:04Look, the argue, the argue, sway, sway.
- 46:09Do you want the horain? Don't answer again.
- 46:11Charlotte, Charlotte. We have a narration that a
- 46:19believer if she's a your wife is if.
- 46:21If she. If your wife is a good believer,
- 46:25yeah, better than she's. Great.
- 46:29And you can be with her and you can choose to go to enter the
- 46:37heaven. Together.
- 46:39Not together with a. Hunt.
- 46:43Yeah, and you will take side by side, side by side, to go and to
- 46:49enter heaven. And if you were in a lower
- 46:54level, she will. Bring you.
- 46:57And if she were in a lower level told us that it's not Yanni,
- 47:07thank you so much. And I I try to give because you
- 47:11know how we choose and how we live and how we talk to our
- 47:14parents a different topic and we will Yanni have a long thing to
- 47:19to to say. But in my proposal, even one of
- 47:25my conditions, I asked my wife. I told her I want someone.
- 47:30I was 25 years old, so I told I want someone to live with me.
- 47:35Another 25 if God give me give me an age, another 25 with a
- 47:42smile, with having fun, with the service of albeit with patience.
- 47:47And I promise you I will choose you in the afterlife.
- 47:52Allah, we will be together. Allah we have if we believe.
- 47:56In the afterlife, if we believe and the afterlife we will
- 48:02understand that we will have the whole time to do anything we
- 48:08want, to do whatever we want. So anything in Dunya, any
- 48:14conflict, any problem, any misunderstanding, any mistake
- 48:20from our partner, it's nothing. You can move it.
- 48:23Let. It go.
- 48:24You can let it go. You can move.
- 48:27You can go. Because we have a good time too.
- 48:29Have fun. So that's how I think that we
- 48:33should change our mindset of the believer itself.
- 48:40And I promise you, you will see that it's a different thing to
- 48:43do. I I know we didn't give.
- 48:46We didn't. Yeah.
- 48:47And we need to have a special episode only about how do the
- 48:51parents. Yeah, and Smash the marriage.
- 48:57We need to talk about many things, but one thing the.
- 49:00Parents can affect your marriage.
- 49:02Is that what you mean? They get involved in the fair.
- 49:04They can. Ruin everything can ruin
- 49:06everything. They are ruining their kids
- 49:09life, they are ruining everything when they interfere.
- 49:13Can you share one example just so we can understand please?
- 49:15Just one. Just one.
- 49:17All topic. Just so that I understand.
- 49:19Because because I I'm so mad because.
- 49:21From my perspective, Bundler and I don't want to disagree with
- 49:25you because throughout this whole conversation I am in line
- 49:27with the Hamdullah. But I would love for example,
- 49:32our families to advise, be involved guides.
- 49:37Or are we speaking about something else?
- 49:38No, we are talking about there are more men, parents who can
- 49:43give advice. Please not.
- 49:44Every parent. Please thank you.
- 49:46Now I understand. Not every, not every sons like.
- 49:50That thank you, of course, both sides times.
- 49:52The parents are. Exactly same problems, same
- 49:56problems. But the problem I give you an
- 49:58example. If you want the example for
- 49:59example, do you know how much slam respects, respects the
- 50:06decision of the girl? Tell me how if a believer
- 50:12proposed and the father said no, he is not a good guy for you and
- 50:18he doesn't have a good reason. Or maybe because he is a
- 50:21believer, he is not like a millionaire or he's not like
- 50:24everything and he refused. He didn't ask the girl and she
- 50:28wants him another time the same another guy, the same another
- 50:33guy. His will I will fall, Sharan.
- 50:38His will I will be fallen. Sharon.
- 50:44Now maybe because if we are under the government and we need
- 50:47Keda and we need everything, so he he will.
- 50:50But Sharon and Amamallah Azhal in front of God, he doesn't have
- 50:54a willaya. If the imam is here, she can.
- 50:57Yeah. And she can marry anyone without
- 51:00his permission. Because his permission is
- 51:03falling. Because you know that's how.

- 52:25machine. Thank you so much.
- 52:30You know, I want to mention one thing.
- 52:32I don't know if we're going on too much on this specific thing.
- 52:35That's you're mentioning all these points it's amazing to
- 52:38hear it and and for many people this is probably the first time
- 52:41they hear it but normally we're told like men you know he should
- 52:45be shy you know don't show so much romance.
- 52:47Be Mandy, they say the more romantic you are the more
- 52:50feminine you are. And I'm Simon Hire a lot of
- 52:52times and and Abdul I was once I attend I attended the lecture by
- 52:57Saint Hadid Madarasi. Specialized.
- 53:01He he he got specialities in marriage and death.
- 53:04Two things. Yeah.
- 53:05And he gives you the boss of both words.
- 53:07And he said one thing. He goes, I was in an election.
- 53:09He was like you. You are a believer, Shafia.
- 53:11He used this word. You are a woman.
- 53:13How can you not tell your wife you love her?
- 53:16Why can't you say it to her? And you got 300.
- 53:19You got 365 days in a year. You only tell her I love you on
- 53:23your anniversary. You only tell her I love you.
- 53:26For example. You know after you've made the
- 53:28problem and you want to get back and you, you don't say it
- 53:32because you will love her. You say it because it's in your
- 53:35best interest to nip it in the bud.
- 53:37Basically, just say it and it will change.
- 53:40And you know your life, your marriage life will be the best.
- 53:43And if you have children, they see that love that Rahma that
- 53:46more there. It teaches them man.
- 53:49It helps. Just to add a kind of a last
- 53:52point when we wrap up, but in these days of Shahramovan,
- 53:56especially with our mall coming up and there are so many
- 54:01opportunities every single day during these days, we have to do
- 54:05things together. You have your soul together.
- 54:08You have your photo together. You do our mall together.
- 54:11You do a Mossad together. You watch after Maghrib.
- 54:14Together after Maghrib, together.
- 54:16Sonar together, Jamar together. Like you said, all of these
- 54:20things are opportunities for us and I find me on a me
- 54:24personally, I really enjoy the Jamar with my wife.
- 54:28I really enjoy it because it brings you, you enjoy the Salah.
- 54:32And also maybe as a guy maybe I want to pronounce my solder very
- 54:35nice. So my wife is impressed and
- 54:38because I'm not Arab, well, my wife, she's Arab, so I have to
- 54:41make. That's why I told you he is
- 54:42married. Now he can speak Arabic.
- 54:45No, but I think, honestly Hamdulillah, these like if
- 54:48there's a time where you can really Foster and grow your love
- 54:52with your wife, it's in these days.
- 54:54And if you're not married bronze sisters, then insha'allah, you
- 54:57make dawn these days. These are the most holy of
- 55:00Knights in the whole year. Shall we pray to Allah Sparta,
- 55:04that you are granted a, a, a, a noble wife, a noble insha'allah?
- 55:10But I want to add something I asked, said Hadley.
- 55:13You mentioned him. I told him, said you were a
- 55:18writer since maybe you were a teenager.
- 55:23Didn't you like feel you might lose it if you get married
- 55:30because you know he writes too much?
- 55:32Mashallah, said daddy. So he told me, Ahmed, I wrote
- 55:37maybe 14 books now. I don't remember the numbers.
- 55:41Maybe 14 books before I got married with my wife.
- 55:47I wrote more than 500, More than 500, I think more.
- 55:54I think now more. Yes, with, he told me.
- 55:57Ahmed. I took it from the mouth of
- 56:00Siddhadi. And you know Siddhadi.
- 56:02Yes, yes. And he, we, we know how, how he
- 56:06is. I mean, he devoted his life to
- 56:08serve, he told me. Ahmed I can't go anywhere
- 56:13without my wife. I can't do anything without my
- 56:16wife. I love my wife so much.
- 56:20So please, guys, marry. Marry.
- 56:25Have children? Well, marry and have children
- 56:28and you will live the most beautiful life.
- 56:30Well, it's beautiful. Well, I thank God that I am
- 56:34married and I am married, but I wish that I was married before
- 56:4025 was too too late 20. Five Would you advise to get
- 56:44married young? Because a lot of people say if
- 56:47she's a believer or you're a believer if I left college one.
- 56:51This is the problem. It's not about the age, it's the
- 56:54mind system. Exactly.
- 56:56If you are a believer, go and marry and find someone who is.
- 57:00There's an answer me say only talk every three, 2-3 weeks.
- 57:04How old to get married? 18 No, no, no.
- 57:06You will not find that I know someone.
- 57:09He is my friend. I can't.
- 57:10I can't let you meet him. 16 years old.
- 57:14He was and he married. He got married.
- 57:16Now he is 31 and he is happily married.
- 57:20He has kids, someone I know he married when he is 28 and he is
- 57:27stupid and he didn't didn't know what to do and he is divorced
- 57:30and he is wrong. I know him with my friend.
- 57:33So it's not about the age, it's not about the age, it's about
- 57:37the mindset of the believer and how does he knows what's his
- 57:42knowledge about the believer itself.
- 57:44Maybe he is a believer, but the wrongs sample of the I know
- 57:48someone who is a believer. He go to the mosque.
- 57:51He was with us. We went to Syria and Sham and
- 57:54the merchant of citizen just now and he was he is the most
- 57:58believer guy ever I have ever seen.
- 58:00He cries too much. He do salata later he everything
- 58:04mashallah. So we discussed me and the the
- 58:06one who the one who named his wife and his phone the will of
- 58:13our prophet. We three sat together and me and
- 58:15my friend we talked about that how much we miss our wives and
- 58:19that they are not with us like and he'd look at us he said.
- 58:23Ahmed when I listen to your stories you 2 now I feel
- 58:28ashamed. He's I think he's 36.
- 58:33I have never. I told my wife I love you.
- 58:37Never. Never.
- 58:40Wow. He is very good guy.
- 58:44He is not the man. Like he hits or he beats or he
- 58:47shout. No, no, he is a good man.
- 58:50Then why do you hate her? I said no.
- 58:53I said why of course of course he he he can't say I love her in
- 59:00front of us. He's.
- 59:01Shy. He is shy, He's shy.
- 59:04Yeah, it's a problem. It's sometimes.
- 59:07He is a good man, Tara. He is a good man.
- 59:11But you you have to break. You shouldn't be shy with your
- 59:14spouse. You have to break yourself, you.
- 59:16Should be. Should be yourself.
- 59:18It should be a safe space. Thank you.
- 59:20Be who you want to be exactly because you know that's you are
- 59:23part of each other. Exactly.
- 59:25You become part of one another, especially if you have children.
- 59:28You are technically. Blood is what I was going to
- 59:30say. What each other this?
- 59:31Is what I was going to say. Because for for me, when I look
- 59:36at my children, it's like gender.
- 59:40Thank you. Don't say that your children are
- 59:43with you though. Now please, no, Honestly.
- 59:45Today my wife sent me a a a video.
- 59:50My son is 2 and my daughter's six months.
- 59:52Masha Masha. My son, they went to the park
- 59:55today. She sent me a video.
- 59:56My son is pushing my daughter on the swing.
- 59:59They're both laughing, they're hugging, I said.
- 1:00:02This is for me. This is like gender because it's
- 1:00:05the happiest I feel, you know, when I see that I I feel so
- 1:00:09happy. And you guys, obviously you, you
- 1:00:10know, you understand that that feeling as well.
- 1:00:12It's the best feeling you can have.
- 1:00:14Exactly why is that? I don't.
- 1:00:15I can't remember. It it's the Zine, it's the
- 1:00:23decoration. For your offspring or your joy?
- 1:00:27Your pride and joy you. Know like a you can't explain it
- 1:00:30to someone who is not. Yeah, people have that feeling.
- 1:00:33But that love that you feel. If you have not had children,
- 1:00:36you don't. You can't experience.
- 1:00:38You can't. Well, you can't you?
- 1:00:40Can't. So our wives are responsible for
- 1:00:44that. You know, they're, they're
- 1:00:45nurturers. They raise these children.
- 1:00:47They bought these children. For nine months.
- 1:00:49Allah bless them and always well.
- 1:00:51I will cry. Don't say that seriously because
- 1:00:55I feel that money and. It reminds us of our mothers as
- 1:00:58well, when we see our wives what they went.
- 1:01:01Through yeah. I remember I told my mother, How
- 1:01:04did you do this for me? Not just for me.
- 1:01:05For all me and my 4/4 of us. It blows my mind to.
- 1:01:11My father once told me, Ahmed, you will not understand.
- 1:01:14Once you have kids, you will know what does it mean to to be
- 1:01:19a caring person? Yeah, toward your son.
- 1:01:22So of course, yeah, it. Changes your life.
- 1:01:25Seriously. Even when you see the news, you
- 1:01:27look at what's happening in, in Philistine, you look at.
- 1:01:30Anything you see when you are a father.
- 1:01:32Yeah, the whole world changes. Everything you see changes.
- 1:01:36Well, love, There's one thing coming out from this genocide,
- 1:01:41what's happening, and Raz, Rafa and entire Palestine is seeing
- 1:01:45those videos and images of children.
- 1:01:47And I remember a few months ago I had the conversation with
- 1:01:50Ahmed here on the podcast. It was on the same day we saw
- 1:01:54videos of the hospital that got attacked.
- 1:01:56So I don't want to go over the scenes that we saw that the
- 1:02:02first I don't want to go, I don't want to our moods.
- 1:02:06I stopped seeing and or watching any videos.
- 1:02:09I can't. I can't.
- 1:02:10I could. Only be honest.
- 1:02:11Imagine. My single.
- 1:02:12Brother, I I used to say that like I was like, no, I'm going
- 1:02:16to stop. It's too much, but you have to
- 1:02:20continue. Say, Ahmed, you don't know me
- 1:02:23well, I will not be able to do anything because.
- 1:02:30Once, but once a year, so you have.
- 1:02:32Karbala Well once. No, no, no.
- 1:02:33No, no, I need to say this. OK.
- 1:02:35Go on, go on, go on. Once a year you have Karbala.
- 1:02:37You know the story of Karbala. You know the Mossibah of
- 1:02:40Karbala. You know what happened about
- 1:02:41Abdullah. Everything you look at the ring
- 1:02:43on your finger, you think of about Abdullah.
- 1:02:46Everything reminds you of about Abdullah Salaam.
- 1:02:49But why do you keep going? 35 are Shoraz.
- 1:02:52You've had Masha'allah. It's too difficult, but you have
- 1:02:57to do it because it softens your heart and no one forgets the.
- 1:03:00Story of the mum of you saying this.
- 1:03:01And that is what we when we see Palestine, when we see what's
- 1:03:04happening in around the world, they their story will be
- 1:03:09forgotten. People will forget their story.
- 1:03:12Unless you could continue to see it and tell it and remind other
- 1:03:16people about it. Otherwise the world will forget.
- 1:03:19100 years from now. It will just be in a history
- 1:03:22book. Unless people tell the story,
- 1:03:25you know, the emotion they share it.
- 1:03:27They tell their children, their grandchildren.
- 1:03:29I strongly believe this repetition.
- 1:03:32You know, I went to imagine this last year in Muharram and the
- 1:03:35Sheikh on the member. It was one of the first nights
- 1:03:39of our shore and he was saying the story of Hazrat Muslim and
- 1:03:43he's and you know, may Allah bless him, but I wasn't happy
- 1:03:47because he started the Musiba. He said we know Hazrat Muslim
- 1:03:51but I'm not going to say it because we hear it every year.
- 1:03:53And then he went to the end where Hazrat Muslim was Shaheed.
- 1:03:57I didn't understand why don't you say the whole mosaic because
- 1:04:01people in the majesty may forget or some people may join Shiite
- 1:04:05Islam or some people May 1st time come to the mosque.
- 1:04:08They have to listen to you have. To continue to repeat, and even
- 1:04:10with the same with Philistine, it's very hard to see it.
- 1:04:13You open Instagram, Twitter, everywhere you look is there
- 1:04:16video, pictures, stories, statistic, everything.
- 1:04:19But I feel like there's it's very hard.
- 1:04:22You have to. Convince.
- 1:04:23I know it's very hard. It's It is very hard.
- 1:04:25I know it's very. Hard, but our our hearts are
- 1:04:28soft, and this is a good thing. There are people in the world
- 1:04:32who they see it. They don't care.
- 1:04:33It doesn't change them. Those we do not want to be.
- 1:04:36Like once you are a father, you are a good, caring father.
- 1:04:39You will know what does it mean to to see a child.
- 1:04:43And I don't want to go well when I think well, it's very.
- 1:04:48The point I wanted to mention, so I didn't.
- 1:04:51I did not want to interject you, but I was like speaking about
- 1:04:53being believers. This is like one of the science.
- 1:04:56Like when you see one part of the home, we can say being hurt.
- 1:05:00Exactly. You get hurt as well.
- 1:05:01You feel that pain. You you, you live it yourself,
- 1:05:04although it's not you. That emotion, that sense, that's
- 1:05:08one of the signs. Of the body.
- 1:05:09The mindset has to be changed. Seriously.
- 1:05:13Charlotte, this is these are the days, the months of change, of
- 1:05:16reform, of Islam, of the unmind, Shallah and of ourselves.
- 1:05:20Allah says in sort of right. I think verse #11 if I'm or 13.
- 1:05:24If I'm not mistaken, Allah does not change the condition of
- 1:05:27society until He changes himself.
- 1:05:30It's very. Important.
- 1:05:31Inshallah, we can do that. It starts at home because
- 1:05:34inshallah, with our spouse, with our kids, with our parents.
- 1:05:37Charlotte Muhammad, thank you so much for joining us.
- 1:05:41Thank you so much for for I know I talk too much so.
- 1:05:44I don't want to end. I really don't.
- 1:05:46Want to? We have another hour?
- 1:05:47Yeah, let's go. Might as.
- 1:05:50Well, is it fair to ask one final question from me?
- 1:05:53That's literally one final question.
- 1:05:55There are many people out there now who are not married.
- 1:05:59They're possibly 30 years old. Forget this.
- 1:06:02I'm not just saying forget being a believer, put being a woman or
- 1:06:06a woman aside as a condition of getting married.
- 1:06:09But why is it important for society to focus on marriage?
- 1:06:14To make you a believer? Because many people say I don't
- 1:06:22need to get married. You know, I can pray, I can
- 1:06:25fast, I can go Ziara. I can be kind with Mama and
- 1:06:29Baba. I can I get married?
- 1:06:31Everything will be. You will see the life
- 1:06:34differently you know, even the even the prayer itself.
- 1:06:40Two Rakas of a moment was like, yeah, Sir and I haven't he's not
- 1:06:46married. And then, yeah, I mean 70 for
- 1:06:52you in the same way. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 1:06:55Yes. This is the different.
- 1:06:57And you know that your body will be different even for women.
- 1:07:03Because, you know, I I saw my mind.
- 1:07:07I don't know which imam he mentioned, but jihad.
- 1:07:15Now we know the jihad of the men, the jihad of the women,
- 1:07:20take leave for jihad for the woman, the way of her life if
- 1:07:28she wants to go into jihad. Has not Taba all how to be a
- 1:07:34Good Wife to my husband? This is her jihad and this
- 1:07:41dunya. This is how God will give her
- 1:07:44the award of the word of jihad. So if you got married.
- 1:07:51So have main interhan or test. Thank you.
- 1:07:53Marriage. Exactly.
- 1:07:55The jihad of the woman in this life.
- 1:07:58So if you and if you become a married person, you're Salah
- 1:08:04will treat it differently. Because you believed in Sunnati
- 1:08:08Mohammed Sallallahu Yanni. You put your step forward to
- 1:08:12believe in our prophet, to trust our prophet, to throw yourself.
- 1:08:16Because you know if you want to be married you don't have money.
- 1:08:20What's the Mahar? The diary.
- 1:08:22Dowry. Dowry.
- 1:08:24You don't have more, You don't have money.
- 1:08:26You don't have a place, You don't have anything.
- 1:08:28You don't have time. You work from 8:00 AM till 5:00
- 1:08:31PM. You go back at home 2 hours
- 1:08:34because of the traffic. So you will not have a.
- 1:08:36Of course I can't be married, but I chose to trust our prophet
- 1:08:42to have how to go into this life.
- 1:08:44So I will be rewarded differently.
- 1:08:48Beautiful. I will be rewarded.
- 1:08:50Yeah, I mean for sure. I am saying this in a Verscata
- 1:08:53and in Arabic with fully. Yeah, pain.
- 1:08:57Yeah, Thank marriage. Yeah.
- 1:09:00I need to come on. Seriously.
- 1:09:05Your life will be changed. Your life, listen.
- 1:09:08Your life will be changed. I truly enjoyed this
- 1:09:14conversation. Thank you.
- 1:09:15And I think you've opened my heart quite a bit.
- 1:09:18You've expanded it more and in Charlotte we can implement a lot
- 1:09:22of the advice and examples you gave in my life.
- 1:09:25I'm sure Ahmed's life as well and everyone listening and
- 1:09:27watching, we've all benefited. I'm going to change my wife's
- 1:09:29name on my phone. Can.
- 1:09:33I can I give you a funny? You said you your friend was his
- 1:09:35wife's name was Jose Atrasolallah.
- 1:09:37You're going to change your wife's phone.
- 1:09:38Can I give? I give one final story.
- 1:09:40We end in a funny note. When I got married, my wife
- 1:09:45later on, you know, I got her contract, she changed her
- 1:09:48number, blah, blah, blah. So new line for I saved her new
- 1:09:52number on my phone. Carlos, for one day she won the
- 1:09:58car driving. She can't find her phone.
- 1:10:00Here I was like, let me call it for I said hey Siri.
- 1:10:05So I was going to call now don't listen, Siri, be quiet.
- 1:10:07So I said, hey Siri, call wifey. That's how.
- 1:10:10That's how that saved. What did Siri respond?
- 1:10:13Which one? Oh my God.
- 1:10:20Oh no, for for a second I dropped this one.
- 1:10:24Which one? I was like, sure.
- 1:10:26I was like what? I was like when we changed your
- 1:10:29number, if I had Wifey and Wifey knew.
- 1:10:34Siri told you that she has to ask her.
- 1:10:36No, She has to give you an answer.
- 1:10:38I was like, look at your old number.
- 1:10:40You're alone. You have to change.
- 1:10:43You have to change the name. She changed it.
- 1:10:45It's got a different name now, no?
- 1:10:47Shall I say. What's?
