alhamdulillah welcome to the dean show
thank you for tuning in exciting
exciting we're going to be talking about
in the club that's right we know we've
done episodes in the past and we know
that life is not about the Harlem Shake
okay you know I had one of my
instructors put that guy to sleep you
can watch that on YouTube too so we
ended that but when we know what the
purpose of life is we know what it's not
and it's not about going to the club so
if you're preparing to go for the club
to the club I'm sorry just hold on a
second until you watch this show very
exciting I got the author of the war
within the hearts Habib Kadri here with
me on the dean show don't go
anywhere this is the de the
this is
the this is
the this is the this is
the this is
the this is the
the
the is thean
show welcome back to the dean show my
special guest thank you
peace be with you peace be with you
thank you for being with us here on the
dean show I got so much to talk to you
about cuz I think this is a very
relevant Topic in today's day and age
where people are lining up to go to the
clubs that's corre right and we're
talking about the clubs yes and you
heard me mention when I opened the show
we talked about the Harlem Shake right
right you remember that it just you know
one foolish thing just took off and
everybody's acting a clown they don't
have the blueprint to life so it just
you know do things as you you wish as
you want that's right and it doesn't
matter you know what are the
consequences but we know when we're
living the way of life from the Creator
there are consequences there are there
is a blueprint and I think um your book
addresses many of these issues that are
challenges today facing the youth what
motivated you to write this book yeah
know um I myself was born in Chicago you
know first generation my father came in
you know the 60s so going through
Chicago Chicago Public Schools uh you're
from Chicago you know from from
kindergarten all the way to high school
and and seeing some of the challenges
that many of our uh young Muslim youth
even when I grew up faced and a lot of
times with Fai you know dealing with
different situations and I know one of
the big things was you know a lot of
times we think of when we getting you
know are the challenges not sometimes
it's physically but it's really the
spiritual challenge you know especially
with the dean where it's not just
believing in God but putting it into
action what if you really do believe in
Allah subh and so there I realized that
hey you know going through asking why we
can't do this this why we can't do this
and I felt that sometimes the answers I
know Allah has the answers but sometimes
our our Scholars were sometimes having a
hard time explaining that to our young
youth so I decided as I grew up and some
of things I've seen some of the friends
I've you know I've I've encountered and
thought you know it'd be a time when you
know to go ahead and write it you know
working with youth for for the last 20
years I felt that this was um something
that hopefully inshallah can hopefully
better me and make myself you know
remind what our duties to Allah subh
tala and also remind other youth what
their duties to Allah
and hopefully help them and in in in in
in with any struggles that they have in
their within their hearts just for we we
have a big audience of not yet Muslims
because everyone has the potential to
submit to God so someone heard you say
Allah please define that for for Allah
is the Arabic word for God it's the same
uh God that in the Christian faith and
the judaic faith so uh you know and so
God Almighty is the same God of all the
other prophets from Adam Abraham Isaac
Noah Jesus and so on so that's Starling
me because when you look at the
Christian Bible you'll see in the first
chapter the first page on Genesis Allah
has mentioned in the Arabic Bible that
Christians and Jews read Allah has
mentioned 17 times that's amazing right
when people try to make it out like this
is some some uh some foreign God that
you guys worship it's the same God of
all the abrahamic fates yeah so tell us
now you grew up here yes you understand
the culture the environment yes so now
you I was just to bring people up to
speed uh we met in in uh I know you're
from Chicago but we met at a conference
a convention in Orlando yes correct you
you gave me a wonderful gift the your
book and I started reading it and then I
came back I said this is what we have to
talk about these are topics that you
know are addressing the youth and the
problems and you go over them in such a
beautiful way and one of them is you
know there's so many I really want to
encourage people to get this book to buy
it but it's in the club that's right
right how did how did you come up with
this in the club in the club in in the
club is something like you know you know
everyone wants to go to the club and
there's a rapper by the name of 50 cents
so if you look at many of the chapters
of the book there are kind of a little
you know various songs or some you know
uh uh slangs I kind of use those just to
kind of get the kids to be like wait a
minute in the club so uh so it was
really caught from there but the idea of
uh was just you know kind of how how do
I say Friday night Saturday night
parties in a more catchy way so in the
club we came through one of the songs
that you know that the kids were kind of
hearing I'm like wait a minut okay let
me use that as a way to get the kids you
talk about this this clubbing culture
yes talk about that so you know which
you know in the club is something like
you know the club is something where if
you see all the vices they're all there
right and one of the things that we
wanted when we started off with that
chapter why we kind of focused it was to
really first find out like early
previous chapter we talked about that
when Allah subh gives us an example
through Adam he doesn't say that you
know to Adam don't eat from the tree he
says Don't Go Near It Don't Go Near it
it's the same verse that Allah says it
doesn't said don't commit fornication it
says Don't Go Near fornication and so in
the club was a chapter where if you
think about it that what what
what when Allah you know when he asked
Allah permission till the end of time to
take more people with me you know says
I'm going to come from the front I'm
going to come from the back I'm going to
come from the right I'm going to come
from the left I'm going to come in ways
that you don't even know blindsided he's
not going to I'm you know come with me
he's going to make himself look good and
in the club is a place where think about
this the whole thing you go there Friday
Saturday nights first and foremost
they'll have the opposite gender it's
two groups but they'll always have one
opposite gender for free most of the
time ladies ladies free until 12:00 or
ladies night or you until 2:00 Ladi are
free so now you have then the
opportunity to come in there but just
like hey just just to lighten the mood
we have two other things that kind of
get people going the alcohol mhm then
you got the music so it's like you know
just the music kind of gets people
because it does music plays plays with
the emotions then you with that plus the
alcohol then the night the nice setup
climate culture kind of has that whole
little flow of slowly where could work
his magic because now the environment is
not about oh don't worry I'm not going
to do anything wrong I'm just going to
come in just to check out the music yeah
but then this is where all these steps
start to come come come uh come into
action so so a person goes there many
friends I've seen people I just want to
see how it is man come on just just you
see it on TV oh man you know I just want
to go check it out so now you go and
then say all right we'll just go we'll
just go and check out the music We Just
Bounce our heads we won't do anything
you know we'll cover each other
sometimes Muslim Muslims you know we
just watch look we'll just see what what
what's what's wrong with it why I I'm
not going to drink I'm not going to
intermal step by step step and then
you'll go okay I'm just going to dance
okay I'm going to just dance but I'm
just going to dance with the you know
just by myself right but I'm not going
to dance with the opposite gender all
right I'm going to dance with the
opposite gender but the and the way the
clubs out they don't have open they have
small spaces why so everyone can get
close and close it's all set up you you
you made a great example you talk about
it's not like a tennis match you're just
a spectator you're a spectator right you
know because it's human nature there's
always someone for there's with somebody
for somebody you there's and and and you
come there you know and you got these
you know individuals you see this on the
videos so people I just just want to get
the get the feel right but just I just
want to go close to the tree just want
to look at the tree M might not do
anything but so at the same time when
you come in there so now you got people
individually then they have you know
drinks for free or drinks for $1 until
11 to 12:00 because like okay you get a
few sips you're going to come back for
more exactly right then you get a little
tipsy and then it's starts so like okay
well you know what I'm just going to
dance but I'm not but if I do dance I'm
not going to touch if I touch but I'm
not going to you know touch anywhere
inappropriate oh but I'm not going to
kiss and just slowly slowly you know
Shayan killing you softly just just kind
of taking step after step and then
that's where you start seeing this whole
kind of process of how you know the club
scene is you know it's it's amazing you
gave some wonderful examples I mean from
the verbatim word of God the Quran that
Allah the Creator is talking about don't
come near fornication don't come near
adultery cuz you come near you I mean
and you made a great example in the book
that even the most Pious person if you
put him in that atmosphere he going to
get comfortable over time right and then
and then your whole Iman and all of the
good things that you start thinking and
feeling it's all out the window now and
you just you just put yourself in a
really bad predicament look if if it if
if there were sahabas at the time the
prophet who committed some illicit
relations
and some were you know uh you know
whipped or whatever the the the the the
punishment which they themselves came
and say oh Prophet I did this what you
know how can I be forgiven so if it
could happen at that time it could
happen in Muslim countries and then now
you're putting in a situation where
there's hey you're there where they want
you to kind of let's say hey hang out
we're giving you all the things you need
to make it happen I got you the music I
got you some dancing I got you the
alcohol and there's always some drugs on
the side somewhere you know you know go
right off the street of the club
someone's got in their car some people
might have snuck it in then you got
every Avenue and and thing that you need
to for you to get to fornication because
what else you going to after a while
what everyone's there to already meet up
yeah people are not there just like you
know I just want to you know if you want
to just talk you could just go to
someone's house watch a game and just
you know shoot the breeze it's an
atmosphere set up for Destruction
because what happens then I mean you do
the fornication and then what happens
you might catch a disease we can go on
and on and all the other things that
might happen you know date rape yes how
many women end up at a Afterparty or
even the club they end up getting raped
you know uh kids coming up with um
without a father illegitimate children
yeah you see we have I mean just think
about statistics here you got 6 1.8
million girls under the age of 16 who
had kids 1.8 million right then you have
one out of every five girl in college
have at least been tempted you know
sexually assaulted a lot of times it
happens in these places right when you
have one out of every four kids in high
school have a STD sexually transmitted
disease you think they want it it's just
like oh don't worry we're just going to
hang out we're just going to be
boyfriend girlfriend but we're just
going to kiss but now just think how
it's happened and you know with all the
all this what they're seeing everyone is
like wait a minute wait you're just
boyfriend girlfriend you haven't done it
like I was in high school and I played
ball guys like wait a minute you don't
dat are you cra you're a virgin like to
be virgin is like what's wrong with with
you it's the other way Subhan Allah it's
it's it's uncool to be righteous you
know that's that's like the society
culture now like what's with you we're
going to take a break and we come back
you know the good has been made bad The
Bad been made good and we've got
everything mixed up in the wrong way
we're going to come back to talk about
more of this in the club with our guests
here the war within the hearts author
we'll be right back here on the dean
show so as the last and final messenger
sent to mankind the prophet muhammmad
peace be upon him he told us to really
reflect often about death reflect upon
the destroyer of Pleasures many of us
are delighting in our lusts and our
passions we're chasing this world we're
chasing that dollar we're chasing all
the material things we're working on our
physical physique and we're working on
our minds but the soul we're neglecting
it so before a situation comes where you
might end up in a hospital you might end
up up with no legs you might end up with
no eyes you might end up in a
situation that you won't be able to even
make a prostration to your creator you
won't even be able to do the things that
you're doing now some of the hard hearts
that just have gone away they they've
made money their God they've made a
woman their God they've made a man their
God that's all they think about is the
next party or the next good
time but as you see if tomorrow you get
hit by a truck or a car or you fall from
a fall tall building or you get cancer
or you get a disease that you're not
you're you're terminally ill and now you
you lose all these wonderful benefits
take advantage of your health now and
use it in the proper way if you're a
Muslim you know that as Muslims we need
to be praying we need to be establishing
that direct connection with our career
minimum five times a day we need to stay
away from the things that are
displeasing to God almighty we need to
pray to him alone and not his creation
we need to follow the Sunnah the way of
the last and final messenger sent to
Mankind and stay away from gambling and
alcohol and drugs
promiscuity there's no dating in Islam
and many of the youth are caught up on
the Facebook and using them in an
unproductive way so if you see if you're
a young boy or young girl and you have
parents and you're disrespecting your
parents this can be you tomorrow it can
be you tomorrow that now your health
that now you might be playing soccer
baseball football and now you get hit
and you end up
paralyzed or you end up getting struck
down and you're in the hospital and it's
almost Flatline now is the time that
angel of death can come at any time mot
he's there waiting so are you prepared
for that moment that moment when your
soul will be extracted from your body
are you ready to meet your
creator when you're 6 feet under 5T
under in the ground and the dirt is
thrown over your body then it's too late
now is the
[Music]
time
[Music]
oh
[Music]
oh
back here on the dean show we're talking
about in the club and that was actually
a song by a famous rapper 50 cents who
we don't want to emulate we don't want
to follow not at all not not not at all
cuz you'll see you'll look at many of
these people's lives it's upside down
right drugs alcohol and when someone
doesn't have that connection with their
creator they don't have peace MH and
these aren't the people that we want to
emulate is it no no so us now continuing
on with this topic is another thing
that's very true that the the the way to
the Hellfire we know that every
messenger of God came with the same
message worship the Creator not his
creation do good prepare for the day of
judgment correct so there are there are
so many things in the verbatim word of
God and the authentic teachings of the
last and final mess of prophet Muhammad
that teach us how to be righteous and
Pious human beings but many people will
say look my intention my intention is
right you know it's not to go there and
fornicate it's not to you know do these
things but look how many people as you
mentioned your book you know the the the
way to the Hellfire is paved with people
who had a good intention but In the Heat
of the Moment that just went out the
door talk to us about that yeah you know
and it's really amazing that's what just
going back to like you when you go and
it really talks about how even El now El
was a knowledgeable Jin the devil yeah
the devil the devil now think about this
the devil saw the creation of Adam so he
knew that there is existence of God and
to a point but what's the underlying if
you think one of the biggest things is
arrogance Pride because everyone thinks
it's not going to happen to me just like
and and when you talk with kids you see
talk she like don't worry it's not going
to happen to me I know I know my limits
no one needs to tell me anything I know
exactly what to do and that's always a
problem because every person that goes
in that club especially if they have
some idea of of of God in their mind
like okay you know even if I go I know
my limits how many people like I'm just
going to go once we go twice just like
anything in life like someone takes one
sip you're always going to take a second
sip right someone takes a smoke
cigarette one time it's most likely you
know the PFF right one one out of three
people know they're going to die from
smoking but 3,000 kids start smoking
every single day because like it's not
going to happen to me right 30 million
people uh use drugs but people why but
it's not going to happen to me the same
way at this club now so people go there
have that then someone goes man you know
what got your game why don't you just go
over there and say h I think she look at
that come on man just just show that you
got you got you got game yeah just just
show show your swag go up there and just
be like just just just just get the
number don't I will but now someone goes
up there are you might not that people
come up to to you like one thing I
always told parents cuz you know you
know is that one of the books we wrote
called you know parenting who said was
easy and to say look there are going to
be some kids they might not do they'll
come up to to them it happened to
Prophet yuam where you might just have
enough they might come up to you but now
suppose you get that opportunity how
many people could be like wait a minute
so if I went to the club you get a
number from someone our girl hey would
you like to dance now how am we going to
be like uh no because you might like
okay you know I don't want to make her
feel bad you know like oh no I I don't
really dance because I'm not supposed to
uh but for some reason I'm at the club
like it would't even make sense
hypocritical it's hypocritical so now
you have that and at that time you at
that moment is going to work he's like I
got him now we're in the zone and and
just was like so even for Adam it wasn't
the fruit it wasn't like oo yeah look at
this it's good you know some of us might
get tempta you know Endo pack of bani
like oh bani get me or man it might be
like mlba I know both p p whatever it is
it could be that could May temptation
but it wasn't the the food that was the
challenge it's like if you eat this you
could live you see all this existence
for life like Angels Forever right you
know I just be here and you know enjoy
this it wasn't that so it's the same
thing here like don't worry we're just
we're just going to dance something's
going to happen but after that there's
going to be a conversation yes for
dancing with someone after a while it
might be like hey hey you know um hey
you want to just get a drink oh I don't
drink oh oh really oh why you're a
Muslim oh okay but you're Muslim so are
you supposed to be here oh you're not
one lie after another because I got to
cover yourself you're in that web that's
the so now was going to be okay we're
just going to you know I'll just hang
out you know just drink and but no
problem you know can I get your number
uh okay sure but you know then then
you're like okay I'm not I just gave it
to her but I'm not going to call her
back but when you get that phone call it
really starts the wasw it just keeps
going just call let me say let me say
how you doing you know just want to see
like she really thought really I really
was a nice guy
boom capture vice versa goes other way
you know too you know girls like don't
worry I know my limits I have control I
could work him you know many girls when
I was in public schools they they always
want to get the bad boy why because they
think they could work him I got control
I could you know I could change him and
you see the guys play the game straight
up players M you know I and they they
want challenging right every guy wants a
challenge to try to get someone else
someone you so say vice versa you see
both genders always trying to have that
so and it's it's it's a it's it's it's
just it's it's a it's jumping into a
pool where you don't know how to swim
but you think you're going to tread
water or use a life vest and get
yourself out M what are you going to do
you know just think of you walk in there
like I'm just I Cy before I walk into
this club I mean like it would just make
you I'm just thinking what people used
to say things you you hear like man no
no no no man I mean we know that people
go to the club to hook up yes right
women might go to flaun to get attention
they like
right and then the man he's on the hunt
he doesn't care about that woman he just
wants to get what his desire wants isn't
that true that's correct so I mean if he
gets it you're just another number
you're just
another name in his black book and
that's it and then when when you finally
decide to get serious how you going to
get married tomorrow when you've been
passed around you with all these guys
these are serious things I mean these
effects have become so much I'm both
sides you got guys now who maybe who
played the game so much now when they
get married it's like I'm going to be
religious when I get old now with your
opposite gender like man this is not fun
oh I I have all this back in my head
like this used to be like this she used
to be like this and this righteous girl
she she's she just very like uncom you
know because she's shy so it's going to
be a process in this whole opposite
gender relations you know for you know
someone who been righteous so now like
this is boring what what is this yeah so
you got those things now you have the
other way around if you know hey vice
versa people girl girls might know about
you and how the game you played vice
versa you have a sister and like look
watch out people going to start talking
especially now with Facebook and so on
and so forth you have individuals who
like now I mean it's come so worse
people like taking pictures of I'm like
yeah now Allah already has a picture of
you now you're telling others so they
could all be Witnesses against you on
the day of judgment like look you did do
this no I didn't I saw it's on your
Facebook there are countless I mean you
just have to turn turn on the news where
girls have gone to these parties you
know they get drunk and the boys take
advantage of them take their pictures
girls have committed suicide because so
I mean one of the attributes out of the
many that the creator has he the most
merciful the most loving so out of his
love didn't he send us a way of life
that if we live it'll protect us from
all these harms yes and and and that's
and that's the thing is that Subhan
Allah our Dean has things you know to
cut at the roots because Allah created
us right it's just like someone you know
I tell young young individuals and you
know for high school college guys and
say you know think of the best car that
there is you know Mercedes or whatever
Bentley the people who make the Bentley
they tell you what what's what kind of
gas you should put in what kind of tires
you should have what kind of engine they
have a whole precise thing and they tell
you and people follow because they think
the person who makes it knows best Allah
creat he is and when Allah says look I
know you because I created you I know
where your limits are and if you put B
push these boundaries you will fall now
some could say well you know what some
might be tempted by alcohol some might
be ladies some might be drugs now some
of us you know I don't have about like
man I would never be tempted about
alcohol we forget it our drugs but the
lady situation big time so Allah knows
everyone and that's why Allah says look
in all these areas you got to cut out
the roots because if not I know and even
like there's this one you know new video
on YouTube it's called from a guy from
Utah it says can can men and women be
friends and he just went around it's
like yes I and you saw that right no you
see every girl's like yeah yeah we could
be friends at the same time right when
her the buddy or her her she thought her
friend is like hey had opportunity he
like heck yeah I we try to hook up with
her she's like and it was just ond and
ond and sisters need to know this now
don't be because many of them good
intention but naive right yes so men and
women let's make itle they cannot be
friends you just the man he's got
something else on his mind I mean when
Allah when the prophet talks about hey
when two opposers are together in a room
there's hikma and why and saying because
one could have the right intentions but
you don't know the other person's
intentions and that's why when the Dean
has rules it makes sense because it's it
really has this idea of hey you you know
yes there's going to be interaction
there's no doubt about it but the idea
of friends like well I'm going to tell
everything about you hanging out my my
bedroom no we're just friends and then
you see that you see it all on TV they
know like every time there's always
someone who likes someone it's just
there because Allah has put it in our
hearts to have feelings so there's
nothing wrong with feelings so anyone
who has feelings any it's okay but the
thing is how you act on the feelings is
what Allah says Hey work and if you work
and you be patient Allah will give you
all all the clubs and parties you want
in Jenna insh and how many haven't
heeded that advice from the Creator from
the last and final messenger and they've
been really just distraught Hearts
broken yes and buckets full of tears
scarred for life ongoing because there's
emotional roller coaster you know you
know more people go to counseling it's
not because of physically emotionally
emotion emotions because you're playing
with emotions I thought he liked me now
he he broke my trust took advantage of
me he's that I thought he was my friend
I can't believe he doesn't like me and I
and I and I went I went the extra mile
for him and I because I thought he
really was going to be the one and you
start seeing it now this it's happening
in our own Community it's you know so
it's not but but you know for us this is
for everybody this this Foundation is
still in the Christian faith and the
judaic Fai have these same rules
everyone can benefit from this yes and
it's and it's in their faith too so this
is not like oh the Muslims everyone had
that but now people have broken and the
one thing about our faith is that we
don't change for the sake of the people
people have to Che for the sake of Allah
exactly so it doesn't matter from your
Christian background Jewish background
people of of God Consciousness there's
no there's no dating or or or you know
these kind of things that we're
addressing it's there too it's the same
living a good upright moral ethical life
will be right back with more giving the
solutions to many of these ills so you
can live a better more wholesome organic
life and having peace within your heart
we'll be right back with more here on

trust us trust your creator trust our
creator who's sent down the blueprint
and if anyone has a sincere open heart
open mind mind and if they want the
truth is there and it's easy to
comprehend it's not something that's
weird it's not something that doesn't
make sense this stuff we're talking
about makes sense if you are in the club
and you're going and you're putting
yourself in a bad environment with Bad
Company bad friends you're going to have
bad results corre bad side effects so
let's go to my next question Thursday
comes we talked about earlier that's the
club culture Thursday clubs already
she's calling Susie John's calling Mike
and they're talking about hey man you
know they got ladies night going on and
here comes Friday and you know there you
go Friday you're in the club Jersey
Shore you're trying to gym 10 and get
big it's a culture now that's right how
do we snap out of this yeah you know
it's it's it's and I think it's it's
it's very important for and again this
is not just like you know you know this
is not just for high school college this
is for anyone any age so you know a lot
of times people you know think like
because itbl will tempt you at every
part of your life there's no time he's
like you know I'll let him go so and I
think it's very important on Thursday
Friday nights it's very you know I think
one of the biggest Keys especially when
you're at the 16th 25 26 and even older
is to have friends who think the same
because you know you yes you have some
friends who will help you academically
there are some who are just physically
maybe you know they're good like at
martial arts basketball Sports you know
it's like you know that's my group I
just hang out with you there are some
guys I play ball with maybe you know
some are Muslim some are non-m Muslim
you know and but I'm like okay I'm just
hooping and that's it but then you have
also others who are have spiritual and
then there are some people who have
spiritual and all the others and you got
to find those those group of individuals
and those individuals will be at the
massag at organizations and it's very
important to have that process of kind
of making sure that you're going to keep
yourself busy on those days because
you're saying I'm just going to stay
home I'll be by myself that's when
you're by yourself things start whisper
are you be like I'm just going to hang
out with that friend but oh I'm trying
to make him better sometimes that other
person could make you get worse and I
think that by itself is like number one
second thing is you know for you know
for really trying to keeping your things
as as your friends it's planning some
specific events and sometimes look
there's nothing in the wrong nothing at
all in the dean to have fun but Halal
entertainment so that means like you
know sporting events playing exercising
you know going out trying to you know uh
just sitting you know with your friends
you know you know just hanging out
playing various things you know uh uh
table tennis to
um Uno to whatever different things that
anyone wants to do I think it's very
important to have some Alternatives
because that itself helps out second
thing is like you know really you got to
keep Allah in mind and Salah Salah Salah
it's one thing if I see like you ask
young you know individuals when you know
your Salah is not working you start
seeing other things fall because you
keep at least even if you just playay
the far I I was telling young just just
get even the the 5 minutes like 5 Time 5
25 minutes you tell me 25 minutes in 24
hours you can't give to God what do you
tell God you know what God you gave me
the nice car the clothes good
family a brain to make lots of money
exactly and I can't give 25 minutes
right so I think just that that the
aspect of keeping God in mind and making
Dua that Allah look you will be
challenged and why I'm really worried
about you know friends because I myself
realized when I went and played ball I
had travel you know playing like on an
All-Star team for the state of Illinois
just kind of going at AU to Long beats
Las Vegas Indiana
and you know the guys is like what do
you want to do now coach would be like
oh okay you know you got guys okay
game's over just make sure come back by
10:30 11 o' and it's a challenge you
know people like oh come on just just
come just come with us man you you could
be the
designator driver or the individual is
going to keep us out of trouble man
don't don't be like I a't try to justify
what you want to do right but and and
they work with you man I mean like you
know and I think it's it's very
important to to kind of keep that
concept because you know a lot of times
what I've seen is that they would you
know just be like come on man you know
back back this is I'm thinking about
think about 1994 95 like say hi to that
girl might you must be gay because you
don't talk to no girls oh they start the
pressure there other pressure right they
like let just prove to just say hi just
just so we know that you know you know
if you're going to be our you know my
roommate in the inside the hotel room
you know I want to make sure you know
just kind of playing with you and then
sometimes you start seeing how the game
is played so even even even getting
pressured into doing something so really
understanding that putting yourself in
that but the other thing is the
music and and the TV is very important
because how do you get the idea of what
it is because you see the videos you see
the music you see the video like oh yeah
this looks fun this looks awesome you
know anything like even cigarettes you
know they don't make it look like like
someone just on drugs you know you know
back in the 80s 90s when cocaine was
supposed to be like cool you know they'
be like Oh I'm just having fun even
alcohol they don't have people like you
know a commercial that're just falling
apart you know something happening to
them that make it look like Happy Days
Are Here even some cigarettes you don't
have someone in cancer like they make it
like James Bond Man make it look good
keep keep doing those bad things take it
to the end what's going to be the end
result and that's why and it's very
important because I think the TV music
also is something that you have to be
careful what you're W you know watch and
listen to because it's human nature if
you listen to the song you got to acting
it's it's there because you here so many
times it happen you know a lot of kids
you know you know you know especially
going to Chicago Public Schools right
there's a lot of language that's used
you might not use at home I know my
parents never used it but you hear it
enough it could become exactly part part
part of your language you don't hear
someone who's praising God he's walking
and say Subhan Allah alhamdulillah Allah
praising the Creator as opposed to the
other ones like just like get that money
get that dough get that monkey I mean
and
the and that's going to take you on a
ride that you don't want to be on and
then you die and that's it you fail the
test Allah protect us Allah protect you
fail the test and many of us are
forgetting that this life is a test so
give that final uh advice and tell
people where they can get your book yeah
in the last minute that we have uh so
Alam you know you know just just to
advice to all of us you know you know
learn from when Allah gives stories of
the Quran there's there's a reason for
it so learn from Adam of a personal just
knowledge is not enough just knowledge
is not enough it's implementation of the
dean because had knowledge but his heart
wasn't there and that's why the you know
the whole focus on the book is war
within the hearts because you got to
check your heart and you'll know that
with knowledge without implementation is
a slippery slope and that's very
important that to make sure to go ahead
uh and and and and and and keeping right
friends keeping your prayers listening
you know reading the bestseller you know
one of our Solutions in the book is
called the bestseller which is the Quran
but remember if a page a day you know
you tell the young ones page a day keeps
a Shan away but this quran's for
everyone at every time and they learn
from that even if if if Adam Alam again
everything happens because Allah wants
it to happen we got to learn that if
they could get tempted Prophet YF Al got
tempted where he was being rightous
someone else was trying to tempt them so
you got to keep these uh things uh in
mind of of Allah and the prophet
Muhammad sahu alaihi wasallam and his
action and and trying to following his
Sunnah and being around the shabab and
the young youth who really practice
their Dean and so regarding the book you
could get it at ikra bookstore Islamic
bookstore Amazon you could kind of you
know go ahead and get in it's also
coming on eBook um in the next two
months inshallah tal I'm very happy but
sad that we're coming to an end but
inshallah God willing there's so many
chapters I think are re relevant for
today's day and age we can next
time we only got to cover one no no may
Allah bless you for the work you're
doing may Allah fora and what you're
doing inah and and hopefully it benefits
all of us anden everyone also make Dua
for us and all of us in protect us from
all this too I mean thank you very
much and thank you thank you for tuning
in to another episode of the dean show
in the club that's not the place where
you want to be we talked about it get
around good company good friends and
start you got the good intention
everyone is born with original goodness
you want to do good so give birth to
what's inside of you that goodness start
asking the Creator for guidance and
he'll facilitate away and put yourself
in good company and put yourself in in a
good environment and stay away from
things that will just corrupt yourself
corrupt your soul because at the end we
die and then the test is over and we
don't want to get a f on that test
that's from the Creator because the
Hellfire is a place we don't want to be
we want to get to Jenna we want to get
to Paradise because that's forever
forever ever yes and that's what we're
all aiming for so inshallah God willing
we can get there and we can only get
there with the Creator's help so
