Bismillahi wa sallatu wa sallam wa rahmatullahi wa sallam wa rahmatullahi Salallahu alayhi wa sallam amma ba'adah As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Brothers and sisters it gives me great pleasure to welcome you and to introduce you to a brand new show and a brand new podcast called The Hot Seat. To understand a little bit more about The Hot Seat we first have to understand the context of the modern day world we find ourselves living in in the year 2019. It is a world in which perhaps there are more doubts, misconceptions and misinterpretations that are thrown around about the religion of Islam than in any other period of time in the history of mankind. The internet is a number one source used by people globally to acquire information on any topic and it is riddled and full of false notions and erroneous ideologies about the Dean of Allah Aziz al-Wajab. Our kids, ourselves are being exposed to this kind of information on a daily and if not daily then at the very least weekly basis and whether we know it or not, whether we choose to accept it or not it is having an effect on ourselves, our hearts, our minds and ultimately our understanding of this beautiful religion. To further complicate the problem many of us find ourselves living in western societies where the governments and the social norms and pressures are constantly trying to redefine what is good and what is bad, what is accepted and what is rejected, what Islam is and is allowed to be and what Islam is never allowed to be. All of this my brothers and sisters ultimately leads to confusion, at least the ignorance and if Allah permits it can lead to misguidance. The hot seat has therefore been designed with the permission of Allah alone to counter these kind of modern day contemporary issues head on by using the knowledge and the guidance of the Muslims of the past, the early generations of Muslims, the best of generations. There's not a single Muslim on the face of the planet today that would doubt the fact that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala completed our religion for us over 1400 years ago and that that completed, holistic, perfect religion is just as applicable now in the year 2019 as it was back then. We truly do have classical solutions for contemporary problems. However this isn't your normal average Islamic lecture series, first of all it's not a lecture, it's a discussion between two parties, often opposing parties in an attempt to reach the truth. And secondly and perhaps more importantly it's a unique one of its kind interactive podcasts where you from the comfort of your own home have the opportunity to vote for and to choose the topic we'll be discussing on the show. You also have the chance to ask your own questions on these contemporary issues and to grill the speaker if you feel like you haven't been grilled enough on the show itself. I'll be releasing details of how you can do both of those things at the end of this episode. But for now without any further ado let's get into this episode of The Hot Seat. Salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Once again I'm joined on the Hot Seat podcast with Ustad Abdu Rahman, Hassan Hafidullah wa Ta'ala. Ustad how you doing today? Alhamdulillah Jazakallah Khairan. Jazakallah Khairan for joining me. We have a really interesting topic for discussion today and it's the old debate between reason and revelation. Reason broadly meaning logic and revelation obviously being a text. Are they actually in contradiction with one another? What happens if they appear to be in contradiction with one another? Which one do we prefer? All of these things we inshallah will be discussing over the next hour or so. I'd like to start as we normally do on the Hot Seat with a definition. What is the definition of akal in the Arabic language? Alhamdulillah Ya Rabbil Alameen. The term akal which is a root word of the word akal it goes back to the meaning of man'a. It's to prevent something or it's to stop something. The scholars they say that's why it's called iqalu al-ba'ir. The riding beast the rope that is that's tied on the camel or the horse is called iqal. It comes from the word or the same word it's the same word as akal which is to prevent the riding beast from running away. And the scholars they say the reason why akal is called akal is because it prevents the person from that which is not befitting. And that's what the author of the Kitam-u-Jamaqais al-Luga said. He said it means al-habis-u-andamimil qawli wal-fi'al. Akal is the thing that prevents a person from an unwise statement or an inappropriate statement or action. That's what akal is there for. But the teacher of Sibawihi Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Frahidi in the Kitab al-Ain some scholars they question whether the book can be attributed to him. But the point is that Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Frahidi he said that akal is naqid al-jahli it's the opposite of ignorance. And while we're at this point it's important to mention that the akal when it comes to the Quran and the sunnah it's actually divided into four. The first one is al-gharizah. The first one is al-gharizah al-leti ja'alahu fil-iisan. It's the innate ability that Allah has placed inside the human. It's in other words it's what people will consider you to be sane.  Or it's what distinguishes us from all other species and gives us that unique distinct characteristics and attributes. The second thing that akal is meant in the shariah of the Kitab al-Sunnah is al-alum al-dharuriah the essential knowledge. The knowledge which everybody really shares like everyone here knows that one is more than half essential knowledge. And number three which is al-alum al-nadriya theoretical knowledge also is referred to as akal theoretical knowledge. But theoretical knowledge means the knowledge that's specific to a person who has the ability to observe, the ability to research, the ability to critically analyze something. That's the third type. And the fourth one is al-amalu bil-ilm implementing knowledge is also called akal. When a person implements the knowledge that they know is also called or is also referred to as akal as Allah says وقال لو كنا نسمع أو نعقلوا ما كنا في أصحاب السعير فاعترفوا بذنبهم فسحقا لأصحاب السعير that they said if we had akal meaning if we implemented the knowledge that we had the information that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam brought to us if we took it on board and we implemented it we will not be from the inhabitants of the hellfire. There's one point I want to say which is whenever you hear the concept of reason versus revelation from those four is only referring to the theoretical knowledge. Okay that's the only type of logic or akal intellect that can kind of go against revelation or if it can whether it can or can't we'll speak about it more into the but it's that type it's the third type which is the theoretical knowledge not the other three. Okay that's that's the main type that we're obviously going to focus on in today's podcast but in the la. Do you want to unpackage that one a little bit more just tell us a little bit more about exactly what this type means. So when it comes to they say thinking or they say reasoning they divide it into three types the different type of reasoning is three the first one is deduction and the second type is induction and the third type is abduction. The deduction is a conclusion which is reached based on evidences that were gathered so it's based on observational evidence something you observed you reached a conclusion based on it sometimes it can be flawed sometimes it could be a fallacy it can be a an illogical absurdity. I'll give an example a person says an apple all apples are fruits and then they say this is a fruit which is two premise and the third the inference or the conclusion that they reach is that therefore it is an apple you can see how flawed that is right even though it might sound plausible in the first premise or it sounds or seems sound in its first two premise but the conclusion is wrong that's called deduction the induction is that a person observes many data they look at many things and from there they reach a final conclusion it's called induction and that's all based upon how much you've seen and how much you've observed you've observed and inshallah ta'ala later when i talk about the issue of is intellects and reasoning restricted or is it unrestricted we'll talk about it there inshallah ta'ala the final one is abduction and abduction starts usually starts with observing something and looking at something which the data and the information that you have regarding is very limited you don't have much and then you reach a general statement regarding it or you try to best explain it that's roughly what they all three mean i'd like to throw in a fourth one there when especially when we're talking about the role that this type of intellect has when it comes to the religion and this is something that i see that is quite common and it's it's the issue of confirmation bias where essentially a person is brainwashed into a religion from birth they're told that this religion is true and later on in life they may start to use their reason the intellect they may come across scientific knowledge and they interpret all of that information and they use and they interpret their reason the intellect in line with what they were previously taught from birth that this religion is true so either they'll reinterpret the text itself or they'll reinterpret the scientific information that they come across later on in life to make sure it matches the text and this is what i see many religious people doing would you agree with this you see there's a book i read recently is written by john lennox it's called the science very god i think that was the name of the book i'm a consign to explain everything i think it was one of those names the point is that john lennox mentioned something i think was very good and i really benefited from it which is he said that explanation are two types explanation are two types if someone came into the kitchen and saw you boiling water and they asked you what is this there's two explanations you can give i mean there may be many more there's at least two two explanations you can give you can give a scientific explanation by telling them that there's heat that is boiling the water from beneath then that which is agitating the molecules and you can give a scientific explanation you can also say oh i just want tea one explanation doesn't eliminate the other and this is the problem that i inshallah ta'ala want to tackle more which is that thinking and assuming that when science comes it shuts everything else and it's the only explanation and there's nothing else that can explain anything itself is it's an unscientific statement so i think we'll talk about that more inshallah ta'ala now okay the next you've unpackaged the issue of the logic and what the definition of the intellect is quite nicely and obviously we're well aware of what revelation is it's the qulana the sunnah in the islamic religion does the akal does the inset have any role what kind of level does it have in the religion the akal in our religion has a manzila rafi'a has a high position um allah tabarak wa ta'ala manat al-taklif for you to be burdened to come with salah to pray to allah az-wajala to pray pay your zakat to go to pilgrimage hajj all of that the condition for it is that you have akal the akal i'm referring to here is you have sanity allah tabarak wa ta'ala he didn't force or didn't burden a person to pray when they have no akal you know the famous hadith where the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam said rufi'a al-qalam wa an-salatatin the pen is lifted from three the one who is sleeping until he wakes up and the young child until he reaches age of puberty the kid until until the child reaches age of puberty he doesn't have to he doesn't have to pray and the insane one until he regains sanity again so number one the evidence to show how islam honors al-akal you can see that it won't if you don't have akal it doesn't burden you with anything number two is the quran and the sunnah if you look at it it pushed us and know hatha alaihi it urged us it encouraged us to use our intellects any i come across in the quran wa allah tabarak wa ta'ala he says i come across in the quran wa allah tabarak wa ta'ala also said those who you know you know you know you know they look at the sky they look at the earth they ponder over everything and allah is telling us to use our akal here i mean i was telling one brother one time what charles darwin did what charles darwin did when he traveled and gathered data information and it was something our religion urged us to do way before of allah tabarak wa ta'ala he said why did they not travel the earth and what are they going to do when they travel the earth he says they look at how the creation started so using our logic and using our minds is something the quran and the sunnah urged us to do the third is allah tabarak wa ta'ala he praised the people of allah praise the people who have a smart who are clever who use them in intellects and who reason allah tabarak wa ta'ala praise them the i allah says the only ones who take the reminder in are those who have intellect those who are who are mature minded also number four allah tabarak wa ta'ala he rebuked a people who chose to forsake using their intellects allah tabarak wa ta'ala he says allah tabarak wa ta'ala he says that when they're told follow that which your lord has sent down on to you they said we will follow that which was brought to us from our four fathers even if their fathers they didn't have and they were not guided will you still do that so these people didn't want to use their logic they just wanted to follow their follow their forefathers they just wanted to blind follow their their previous ancestors so you can see from those points that the akal has a high station in our religion now last but not least the fifth evidence among the fifth point is allah tabarak wa ta'ala he made the akal from the daruriat al khams the five things that need to be protected if a person ibn al qudam ar-rahim allah mentions in his kitab al-mughni and he brought a consensus and a tifaq and a nijmaa that if a person damages a person's brain it's like he killed him he has to pay a full deal he has to pay a full deal full deal means a full blood money like you kill this person because you took away from him what an essential component of the human so to say that the islam does not honor that islam does not honor the intellect and it doesn't honor thinking and reason it's a it's a mistaken belief and a false argument so what i'm getting from that then is that the intellect the akal is kind of like an overriding dominant feature in the religion and it should be prioritized above anything else so is that what kind of what you're saying now when it comes to the when it comes to reasoning when it comes to thinking when it comes to the mind ahlu sunnah are in the middle path they lie in the middle between those who are extreme in exaggeration and those who are extreme in negligence and you tend to find that any issue there's always two extremes which are diametrically opposing to one another they're divergently on different tracks the first group are extreme in exaggeration and there's another group which is extremely negligence ahlu sunnah are in the middle who are the people are extremely exaggeration and who are the people who are extreme in negligence ahlu kalam ahlu kalam are the mu'utazila the within islam we're talking about the mu'utazila who originated from Masim al-Ata and Amr ibn Ubaid the asha'ira and we'll talk more about that Fakhrudin al-Razi and Fakhrudin al-Razi is considered to be the real the man who put the most arguments for asha'iriya but he wasn't the man who placed the first bricks the first bricks was placed by abima alil joini you see them asha'ira the maturidiyya and the likes of these they're referred to as the they're referred to as ahlu kalam they went overboard when it came to the akal they went they exceeded their limits they came with extreme exaggeration in what way so they would say what that the akal is above everything else um they placed and they gave the akal uh and they gave allowance to the akal and a leadway to the akal in places that it's not its field of expertise it's not a place that it should talk in this is not its place even though we've agreed that it has such a high role in the religion which i want to expand on later inshallah but the akal according to the asha'ira and the maturidiyya they done gholu they went overboard with it um we know the akal it can't um the akal can bring you to uh the akal can bring you to the belief of Allah az-wajala and that Allah exists subhanahu wa ta'ala and it can bring bring you into the general uh guidance the comprehensive guidance but detailed issues of guidance the akal can't do that it's not its field of expertise and i'll talk about that later inshallah ta'ala the second group who are extremely negligence are the sofia the matasawifa the sofia they rebuked the akal and they rebuked anything related to the akal the the mindset and the the the thinking process and psychological observation all of that they they threw under under the bus for them it has no weight whatsoever when you that's why you find the matasawifa they the awliya are sometimes considered to be people who are insane you go to some places in the world and you find that they are they're worshiping or that they see a willier man who's taken thrown off his clothes who's naked and they'll say this is a willy mean awliya Allah az-wajala uh the matasawifa if you look at the they they a lot of them drank alcohol and they were instead they were intoxicated and they uh so they don't and that's something that damages the sanity right that's something that damages the akal and the way that the person thinks so the sofia they went to the other extreme of not giving any consideration to the akal and so when like scientists and and in modern day western uh academic series type of sofia then they think this is what is slams like this is what the religion is like which is not true now so where are ahlul sunnah in between them today so ahlul sunnah believe that the akal it has a majal it has a position it has a field it's it's got a role in the religion and its role is not unrestricted they believe that the akal even though it has a great station in our religion even though it's considered high but they say it's it's it's not free to do whatever it wants and um they say that the akal they give many examples i just want to give you a basic understandable example that many can digest and that is your mobile phone it works right yeah does it not mean a lot to you yeah it does not do a good job but when you go to another country your network doesn't necessarily work or if you go to a place where there is no network your phone stops working so this has a boundary of how it works the akal is like your eyesight your eyesight it works it functions you can see things but it's limited what it can see can't see everything you is there's a distance you can see up to the akal is exactly the same is there's a distance in how far it can see you can't just make your eyesight's unrestricted and say i can see any and everything you see when they say three things three things ahlul sunnah say that the akal is restricted here he can't talk about it this is not his field of expertise the first one is and the akal can't talk about the unseen okay because remember what i said to you before the in the induction sorry the deduction the induction and the abduction which are the three kind of reasoning all three of them they all base are based on observation things that you can see and that's what the akal works on the akal works on what it can see it works on what it can observe that's where it then brings a conclusion from that's where it brings inferences from but if you don't have the ability to see something then akal has no room to talk about these issues number two is and now let us to kill the hidayati the akal cannot by itself guide now he can't you see it's not it's not independent in guiding that's why imr qayyim said that the akal is not independent in guiding it can't be the akal cannot give you detailed guidance no sorry i really want to unpackage this because this is where most of the discussion takes place you're basically saying that the akal has limitations oh without a doubt how do you come to know that islam is a truth and worshiping in idol is false you see when i said it's restricted and it's limited that doesn't mean it's not functioning it doesn't function of course it functions and i said it to you before that's something that you created for you to worship what you created and that depends on you is an illogical absurdity exactly so it's actually your logic and your reasoning that you come to know the ultimate truth about the world itself and the reason why we created to worship Allah alone if that's the case with the ultimate truth the most important thing then how can you say that for things lower than that the akal won't work okay the kitab daru ta'arud al aql wal nakal ishekul samtimi said something very powerful in there he said i took you to a doctor you were ill you said i need a doctor who if you specialize in this and uh can someone uh can can you take me to the doctor or can someone take me to the doctor i put my finger up i said i can help you let me take you to the doctor so i grabbed you by the hand and i took you to the doctor now that i've taken you to the doctor and you sat and you spoken to the doctor and you've conversed with the doctor the doctor of course is going to prescribe a medicine for you and he's going to tell what your illness is how about if i say to you i was the one who brought you to the doctor you wouldn't have known the doctor so listen to me now don't do what the doctor told you do this because i'm the one who brought you to the doctor you're going to be like that's an illogical absurdity what are you talking about yeah i understand i understand what you're saying here's i want you to understand something this issue shekul samtimiya he authored a book on it 10 volume book and i'll tell you something very important you see within islam there were smart uh thinkers before i go into this there was a point i was going to mention i just don't want to forget it okay i said that the akal even though it has a weight in our religion there's three things it cannot talk about the first one was what i said is the second i said is that that the akal cannot independently guide you by itself without no revelation it can't and if anybody tries to do that it'll be misguided you see the third thing i mentioned i was going to say was that the akal cannot and no less to kill you if two people are disputing one another you can't necessarily reconcile them with just rational arguments you cannot because every individual's rational mind is not superior to the other yours is not higher than mine there has to be a higher authority that can govern all of us that's why Allah says in the ayah if you say something so you made three important points that i think it's worth talking about in a little bit more detail the first point i don't think there can be much disagreement on this the akal can't tell you about knowledge of the unseen because we can't see that the second point the point that you mentioned where the uh the first point is very important because it's sorry to interrupt you but it's important because this is where a lot of the modern-day militant atheists argue about the they say that okay how are you going to reconcile the the law of nature um and uh and miracles and it's very important that they understand that the akal has no medial to talk about these issues of miracles that's just that it's not its boundaries and its level limits even though we can see stuff certain things around us and we can see the laws of the universe operating around us we know it's completely unrealistic for example for a sea to be split open because we've been living a life and that just doesn't happen in life and now you're saying that for example musa aleyhi salam split open a sea this is what you would classify as a miracle with the permission of Allah of course i mean there's no that doesn't match up to the intellect i'm sorry i know again that's my point that again for the akal to understand that go it's not its medial it's not it's filled shouldn't be talking about so unseen so anyone can claim anything i can say on the way here to shaja i just saw a four-legged man who was had a face of the horse it's unseen to you and your intellect says no this doesn't seem right but i my point is your intellect has a limit you have to believe but that's my point it brings you to the issue of number one do you think that the akal that's what i want you to understand do you really think that the akal for example there's many things that we cannot fathom but we still believe in them we still we can't fathom what's an example for example we believe in gravitational force no one can actually define for you what gravity is we can see the effects of gravity working right now i can see the effects of that but that's exactly god right i can't scientists are saying that we don't for example atheists some atheists are saying today we don't believe in god because we can't observe him we can't see him we need to see him seeing is believing yes so everything has become empirical evidence so i'm seeing gravity now so my question to you is but you're not seeing gravity you're seeing the effects of gravity correct yes so exactly so my point is that Allah Azza wa Jalla you're not seeing him but you're seeing the effect of what he's done and i think this is this is important that it's understood well um i just think there's many ways i can tackle that point but i just want to make it simple and easy for the people i wanted them i want them to understand is don't give the akal an unrestricted see your eyesight as i said before it can see but it needs light to see if you switch off the light in your room your eyesight even though we can see it can't see in the dark you see the issue i have with this is that the akal the akal even though it can it works it functions it's good it brings about a lot of amazing things in this world you know but if there's no revelation to shine the path for it the akal it'll go all over the place when einstein developed the general relativity i mean the relativity theory um before him was isek newton who had already pushed his theories was was put under the under scrutiny it was undisputed many scientists um they trialed it they tested it and there was no need for anyone to come after and to try to correct or modify or but i but einstein did and so this is the power of human mind i was reading the enigma code you know the enigma code when german the world war two the german were using the enigma code there was a man by the name of allen toring what he did was that he looked into the enigma code he read it through mathematical theories mathematical equations and was able to break the enigma code and basically stop world war two or bring it to an halt save millions of people and again i may not agree with these people's akid and their belief and whatnot um but it does show you the the the power of human human reasoning the power of the you know akal and the power of thinking and there's no dispute and argument regarding that you know but the point here is is that when when somebody just puts the akal into a a place that he doesn't deserve it's you know the akal is like a leader okay it's like a leader it governs a particular land he can't govern the whole entire world it governs a particular land and as time goes on that the akal sorry the leader he loses his position so there are times when the the logic and the mind and the human the human thinking there's moments where the nakal will say to it wait nakal being the text and the revelation will say to it look this is not your it's not your field this is not you're not you're not entitled to speak about it don't you think your approach is actually leading to a community of backwards people so we i think islam and the muslims is one of the only communities that i've seen where the akal the intellects actually look down upon where someone comes up with an opinion and you said don't worry about him he just uses intellect in every other community in the world they actually push forward critical thinking logic reasoning these are seen as good things and in our community we seem to suppress it and say no don't use your intellect this is making science the scientific people are laughing at us so it's making us look backwards okay this issue i really want people to understand is that the issue of revelation and reason having to be reconciled between the two is actually not true what do you mean you see i don't believe there is no conflict to be honest between a sound mind a sound reasoning and an authentic revelation an authentic text there's no conflict between the two to be honest the conflict is something on your side they're not contradicting one another you think they are but there isn't okay let's use that let's take an example shaytan urinates in the ear of the person who misses slated fudger is that an authentic text oh no without a doubt okay i wake up in the morning i can't feel i can't feel the urine i can't smell the urine my intellect is clearly contradicting what the sound text is saying it you see again you're saying that what is considered to be proof and what is considered to be uh an evidence is that which can be seen smelt is that all you say that's my intellect you're saying the insect is limited no i'm not saying i'm actually saying that intellect is actually you believe in things you can't see you believe in things that you can't hear you believe in things that you can't smell you believe in things that you can't that are not empirical give me an example of something i believe in like that you believe in the cosmos you believe in the the beginning the starting of this universe and how it started you believe in many things that gravitational force i just said to you there are many things that you believe in which you can't observe okay but all of these things i can observe the effect of it i can't observe the effect of your yes now you can i'll tell you the effect how sleeping paralysis is something that is exactly what the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam i told us he told us alaihi sallam that sleeping paralysis is uh shaitan for example telling the person go to sleep um this is the important concept i want to understand i want i want us to understand there's many other things i want to talk about i just don't want to go into it now because uh due to it not being the correct podcast for it but there is a concept which they pushed what they call it the god the the god of the gaps whenever you can't explain something you just squeeze and god in there and that's your answer for everything and and then as time goes on science will disprove it and the god would pop out of that gap and the gap gets more tighter and tighter as time goes on and that's what they say and i don't want to go into that now i really want to discuss that when we if we if we ever have a podcast on atheism and their their their common arguments but let me go back to what i was saying is that there is no conflict really between sound sound sound reasoning and an authentic text there isn't what did adiqa the scholars they say any individual who's closer to the revelation you'll tend to find that they have the most soundest reasoning i was reading um laris krauss he allows incest i mean he says that you know that's because he's far from revelation so you see that he will uh richard dorkins he permitted and he can see he doesn't see any problem with mild pedophilia so the the distance from revelation is actually causing the intellect to actually become more deficient that's what you're yeah exactly i'm let me give you an example of some islamic thinkers for instance i was saying before sheikh waslam the book he wrote he wrote a kitab this kitab is a refutation on uh fakhrudin ar-razi he's refuting he's refuting fakhrudin ar-razi fakhrudin ar-razi was one of the greatest islamic thinkers he was a person who used akal to its maximum you know he used it to its max he stretched his brain he was a great thinker without a shadow of a doubt uh it was there's something he came up with which was known as al-qanun al-kulli i want to explain it quickly qanun al-kulli is that um he too premised and uh infer inference two premises and a conclusion so he said qazia that the akal goes against the nakal the akal which is the reasoning and thinking and rationality versus text so he already he as you mentioned before confirmation bias he already alluded he already he suppositions that there is a conflict between nakal and akal okay and then he said takdim al-akli an al-nakal which is the second premise he brought that you give presidents to the rationality over the text and then last but not the evidence for that is that the akal is the foundation and the nakal is the subbranch it's or in in other words in other wordings he said in text a benefits us speculation like it doesn't it's speculative it's actually not clear-cut shekh al-sam'tamiya felt okay this is this doesn't make sense so what shekh al-sam'tamiya did was he responded to him in 44 different angles 44 different perspectives 44 different which in 10 volumes and beginning he responds first of all he divides his answers into two shekh al-sam'tamiya first when he makes it into a jawab mujman a general answer and that is four lines okay that is that could be enough but of course they won't take it so what he did was it then he went into 44 different angles of responding to fakhrudin al-razi shekh al-sam 10 volumes okay and these argument that fakhrudin al-razi to be honest he brought he wasn't the first to actually bring it al-qadi abdel jabbar al-hamadani al-mu'tizli salih before him abou ma'ali al-juayni salih before him in the kitab al-irshad also even abou hamid al-ghazali salih in his kitab al-qaloun al-ta'weel if today that book has been translated in its totality if it could be translated in the English language it's an amazing book ibn ul-qayyim said you can actually say it's the masterpiece of sheikh al-sam'tamiya's works and that man fakhrudin al-razi imagine this i was reading tariq al-islam by limam ad-dahi bi-rahimahullah um that fakhrudin al-razi say he mentioned that fakhrudin al-razi in his latest stages his last moments of life he said i wish i didn't busy myself with these philosophical arguments i didn't busy myself with this rationality there's a line of poetry that he said he said i've traveled around all these academic researches i've looked at all of them i've only seen people who were confused and people who didn't know where things were going i've looked at all of this and it's true fakhrudin al-razi did and he said in another line of poetry he said i looked at these these philosophical methodologies and discourses and i saw that it doesn't answer any questions there's another famous lines of poetry that's attributed to him which is um he said the final ending of all of these philosophical arguments the final conclusion and the end result has become that misguided nothing substantial and these are the words of a man who was one of the greatest islamic thinkers and actually prioritizing his early life the akhullah over the text when he got into some something he mentioned that when when you say al imam according to the shahara when they say the imam they mean fakhrudin al-razi that's it is him no one else i really want you to understand one thing scientists they have to understand that science explains science argues and proves things but it's not in any way shape or form able to respond and answer everything science will never science will never ever tell us why we're in this universe what is our purpose in this dunya science will never and he can't that's not his field he won't be able look at one scientist today he has so many different beliefs so many different theories that are contradicting one another his his own views are changing i was reading the kitab al-araa fakhrudin al-razi written by a man called muhammad al-zarkani he wrote a kitab on fakhrudin al-razi i'm currently trying to summarize the book he's talking about the the athar al-falsafiyah the another sheikh his name is called abdulaym al-ahmad al-ansari he wrote another kitab on the philosophical arguments of fakhrudin al-razi and how it affected his aqeida these researchers are written him fakhrudin al-razi in one issue before he had like three or four different views to the extent sheikh was simultaneously in his fifth volume in minhaj sunnah nabui he said it's sometimes hard to even say this is what fakhrudin al-razi believes the reason is because fully dependent on the aqeida it confuses you you don't know what to say okay there is another issue that um some people bring up actually the reason and the motive behind this behind people like yourself pushing the fact that the text is superior to the intellect is actually they want to control people people will ask them questions they don't want people to think on their own they want to be able to tell people exactly what to do how to practice their religion and it's just a form of control what do you have to say about that no if that would that would that would that would be a good argument if we were saying you have to follow humans and you have to follow myself and that makes that's a good argument but if you're saying that you and i both are forced to follow that text then as much as you have to so do i so i don't think it's me trying to control you or you trying to control me we're both being you know we're both it's both necessary and both of us and it's required from both of us to follow the the text there is a whole new argument however and that is when you say that the text is superior to the intellect actually the scholars of hadith who are the ones with the permission of Allah who are actually preserving the text they tend to disagree with you for example you have imam ibn al-Jawza who said things like for a text to be authentic a condition upon it is that it can't go against the the reason so you're sitting here saying that the text the authentic text should be pushed above the intellect because the intellect has invitations and he who is actually the one who's authenticating the text is actually saying i only authenticate if it goes in line with my reason again what you have to understand is number one as i said to you before the text doesn't go against the intellect i already said that that doesn't happen and if it does it's subjective it's what you think and you just have to take it to what you just have to take it someone who knows it and someone who can explain it to you he said Allah's texts they don't oppose one another so what do you do take it to a person of knowledge i promise you he'll show you there is it's a deficiency on your side he said if there is a conflict between a text and your rationality you're unable to fathom it there's three one of three situations i remember this all the time if you see a text supposedly going against the rationality or it's going against the thinking process then it's one of three this text is not even authentic in the first place it's weak number two you are unable to comprehend the text correctly and number three the aqal is actually deficient you're an insane person you're one of those three situations so it's not possible that the aqal and the aqal go against one another and the aqal i'm talking about here is i'm talking about the aqal which is which is it's healthy it's sound the person is not a lunatic the person is not deranged the person is not insane and the text is authentic two things that are contradicting one another have to both be present right whatever it is you can't have two things you think are contradicting one another when one doesn't even exist second is that try to understand it properly in the first place at the last but not least then question your rationality to be honest and if let's give me some advice and if i'm a layman muslim and i come across a text that to me it on the apparent it contradicts my intellect where do i go from there sorry there let's let's start with that question where do i go from there just like if you read a medical book who do you take it to as expertise you take it to specialized person you ask him you say what is this what is what is what do the scientists mean in this regard what do they what do what does this term mean what what is meant by this so the same book the same thing when you read the revelation take it to the expertise there's the people who are specialized in this field and if the answer i'm given it just still doesn't comfort my intellect for example what should i prioritize you see Allah told us the the from the beginning of al-islam from the beginning of revelation Allah told us in the Quran that there's always been two camps okay the first camp is those who follow the revelation and those who follow their desires Allah says in the ayah if they don't follow you Muhammad then know that they are following their desires the way that the people follow their desires in different ways okay is in different ways a group of people follow their desires by giving the akal an unrestricted strength an unrestricted platform where the akal can do what it wishes and how it wishes that's one form of people oppose it with their desires another group of people the Sufiya who oppose it based on their their feelings and what they feel like there are those who oppose the akal based on customs and cultures you see they'll say to you our values is not this and our this you know the third people is the statements of the imams of their madhab and they'll say to the our madhab doesn't believe this and our imam never said this so desires and revelations always been a conflict but not akal you've mentioned before on this podcast previously that we should follow the religion the way the companions followed it now there was a hadith again where the companions were sent away on a battalion and the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam set one of them as the leaders Amir and he he commanded the other group the rest of the group to jump into a fire now if they were to follow the text like you're suggesting they would have jumped into the fire because the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam put this guy in charge and he also said you should follow the amir but they didn't they said no this doesn't make sense to us they didn't ask someone notice how they didn't ask the messenger they actually just said this doesn't make sense to us so we're not going to jump in the fire afterwards they went then went and asked the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and he said you did the right thing by not jumping the fire doesn't this show that actually there are occasions where when you approach with a text and it doesn't make sense to you that it is okay to follow what you believe that's what they did right okay what you have to understand is messengers and prophets were sent with with that which is textual and that which is that's reasonable prophets didn't come with things that are not reasonable things that can't rationally be fathomed they can't be understood as I said to you before the proof of Allah against the creation is two things the first one is both of them are the proof of Allah against the creation so what these sahabas did was they took the reason and the revelation and they reconciled it they brought it together there was no conflict to be honest they just saw that this is how it's done what they did was they obeyed the leader as the prophet told them sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and that which is good see the concept of obedience it's not unrestricted you know I mean it's the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't say unrestrictly obey him the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam obey him so the akal would tell you that the obedience where it where it is and what it's not and the prophet all he did was sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he reinforced that he said that the obedience is in that which is ma'roof but they didn't say our akal tells us not to obey the leader at all in any way shape or form then you would say to me they did go against what the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said so even the fact that they didn't jump in the fire the actually revelation has told you not to commit suicide not to bring harm upon yourself so we're actually following the revelation anyway by not doing that okay are there any statements from the companions that talk about the limitation of the akal and how the the text itself should be followed over the akal I told you the statement of the what I didn't say it was a statement but ibn abbas radiallahu ta'ala anhu that he said that the akal is like the eyesight just like the eyesight is limited in seeing he said that the akal is also limited in in in how far it can see and so both of them are governed by both of them are governed by the text what did ibn utaymin said something very powerful he said that the sharia it gave governorship and leadership to the akal and then he can take it down if it won't switch this to you see also ibn al-shatibi said in simple terms shatibi said follows and the text is the leader okay that was a really fascinating discussion

Russia leaves Armenia, Turkey enters to this country, West will not come here. The Armenian authorities are changing security cooperation with Russia to strengthen Turkey's influence. Avet Adontz, the former deputy minister of foreign affairs of Armenia, said these words in an interview to Sputnik. He said that although the Armenian leadership says that it has not changed its foreign policy vector, after Pashinyan's visit to Munich, Paris and the visit of the MFA chief to Antalya, sharp changes and the next wave of statements began. The intention to move the Russian border guards from the Zvart-Knotz airport is only a small element in the broader agenda of the Armenian authorities. If earlier the process was aimed at reducing Russia's influence in Armenia and the region as a whole, now they are trying to completely eliminate it. As an example, he pointed to the initiatives taken to become a candidate for EU membership as well as the statement that the activities in the CSMT were frozen. According to Adontz, the authorities are trying to assess the importance of the EU from a purely economic point of view. The Russian side has clearly stated that the freezing of participation in the CSTO calls into question Yerevan's full participation in the Eurasian Economic Union. He emphasized that Yerevan is changing its foreign policy vector but without any security guarantee. Our relations with neither Azerbaijan nor Turkey have been settled. The situation is unpredictable and extremely dangerous. Iran strongly opposes the involvement of non-regional forces in the current processes and has recently reiterated this, but the anti-Russian and anti-Iranian processes are very active in Armenia. The former deputy minister is sure that the West will not come to Armenia because there is an example of Ukraine and instead Russia will be replaced by Turkey. The EU itself depends on Washington to ensure security. Now the dominance of the USA in Europe has become even stronger. Democracy, which Armenia declares to be the most powerful weapon, is a children's fairytale. Nobody needs it. Where is democracy? Values, human rights, for example in Gaza? Azerbaijan snubbed Russia's latest fighter jets for competitors from Turkey and Pakistan. The small, oil-rich South Caucasus country of Azerbaijan has big plans to upgrade its modest fleet of fighter jets over the next decade. The business insider wrote this. It is noted that, however, rather than turn to Russia its traditional arms supplier for decades, Baku will likely acquire modern fighters from Pakistan and Turkey. The turn away from Russia shows that long-time allies like Azerbaijan are finding effective arms sellers who aren't afflicted by the problems of Russia's newest fighter jets. Unconfirmed reports in Azerbaijani and Pakistani media surfaced in late February claiming Azerbaijan reached a deal with Pakistan to buy an undisclosed number of JF-17C Thunder fighter jets for $1.6 billion. Azerbaijan officially joined Turkey's TF Khan 5th Generation Fighter Program last July, strongly suggesting it will acquire that jet. The Khan made its maiden flight in February. Russia previously tried to market the 4.5-generation Su-30SM, Su-35 and MiG-35 fighters to Azerbaijan in the late 2010s. Azerbaijan's president said in 2018 that his country had spent $5 billion on Russian military hardware, but now it doesn't seem likely Baku will turn to Moscow for a 4.5-generation aircraft. Azerbaijan is even less likely to invest in Russia's troubled 5th Generation Su-57 or Su-75 Checkmate jets. Russia has been Azerbaijan's largest arms supplier until recent years, said Frederiko Borsari, a defense expert at the Center for European Policy Analysis. However, things have progressively changed as Russia launched a reckless war of aggression against Ukraine and started to lose influence among countries in the Caucasus amidst growing difficulties in Ukraine and financial constraints. Borsari told Business Insider, Turkey, among others, has exploited this situation from a security standpoint and started to expand its military cooperation in Baku, including through weapons sales. Consequently, Turkish sales to Azerbaijan began increasing in 2017, while Russian arms exports halted around 2019. Against this backdrop, the rumored JF-17 purchase from Pakistan further consolidates this trend of progressive detachment from Moscow's fold and may also be the result of the poor performance of Russian aircraft and the Air Force overall in Ukraine. Borsari said, Given close relations with Turkey and ambivalent ones with Russia, its preference for the latter is understandable, particularly given Russia's own problems, bringing Su-57s into service, Rublin told Insider. Borsari said Azerbaijan's participation in the Karn project is first and foremost the natural consequence of a long-standing and growing security partnership between Ankara and Baku that stems from their close political and diplomatic ties. For both countries, this appears to be a win-win solution, Borsari said.


Hey guys, this is Omar G from Xtrades from the Xtrades tab If you like the video you're about to watch, please like and subscribe our channel. That's very helpful for us I'm gonna talk real briefly about Following a specific sector and what that's been like for me. How helpful it's been. I follow the cannabis sector wheat stocks companies like Sun Dial Growers Grow Generation Tilray, and I'm posting about those stocks pretty constantly on the main stock section And posting plays, watch lists. I started on Xtrades about two years ago With the intent of only following cannabis stocks and I now know a lot more about other sectors And it followed some other areas blue chip stocks I've traded Tesla and AMD and other other companies, but really my main focus is still on cannabis stocks That's what I look at every day. That's what I follow when I see big news or I see a big change in the sector I'm always posting about it on Xtrades So let's talk a little bit about how I follow the sector and what tools I use to do that So this is my home setup. I've got two monitors I think for you know everyday trading you need at least two monitors, maybe three. I haven't tried three You need some beverage, some coffee or something like that and you know as you can see I've got Xtrades going pretty much all day on My right monitor just so I can see discussion and follow Threads and we just got an alert on grow generation. I'll talk about that in a minute my main screen is trading view for most of the day when I'm when I'm actively trading and I've got a couple of indicators that I use on here But what I'm doing all day is just I have a list of tickers and tabs up there SNDL, GRWG, HYFM, some of the major cannabis tickers I follow I set alerts on a lot of those highs and lows if I if I want to know when it's going above a certain level Above some of those support and resistance lines I'll set alert above and alert below. So I know you know, oh, wow, this is really tanking today I need to post something about this or it's going above a level of price target that we gave earlier So let's take a look closer look here at GRWG grow generation, which I alerted a Short on earlier. So here's the alert we posted earlier. We got in at 574 What's it doing right now? Oh, it's at about 561 It really lost momentum at resistance And I had a feeling that it was going to go down as volume was starting to drop down in the sector if I zoom out a little bit You can see here. There's our volume going down And here is our buy to close alert to close that short You know, not a huge gain. What would we make about 2%? You know, but it could gain momentum back up and and start to creep up again Like the sector has been doing all week But you know, this was a solid little 2% trade no big deal The other tool that I use is in my trading software I use a software called trade station. They're, you know, pretty decent broker And I have a watch list that I keep track of all day to see kind of what the action is in the sector I can sort it by percentage Of change I can see who's losing who's gaining for the day I have about 50 tickers I think that's the limit on each watch list and I have multiple ones But this gives me a general idea of what's happening in the sector. Who's leading the sector who is not You know what the where the gains are And I trade accordingly Based on this and based on trading view Support and resistance levels. That's generally how I trade is I'm looking at who's gaining for the day Where the momentum is is that momentum going to continue or is it going to hit a wall and go the other direction? If I'm going to short something it'll be something that is peaking and that I think is losing volume And I will usually alert that accordingly. So to me the advantages of Following one specific sector is you just get to know the price range really well, like, you know If this goes over four dollars, that's a huge deal if it goes under 350 like that's bad news I know really intuitively like what is a good day for a growth generation or what's a good day for sundial So following the sector so closely you've seen the price action day after day. It really gives you an advantage From other people who might just dabble in the sector or only look at it when there's a huge price surge across the sector Like I have a pretty good idea of where things usually Lay in terms of pricing and when there's a big surge that we really need to pay attention to And because I have trading view and I'm looking at multiple tickers all day I can see trends I can see when they're all kind of going up at the same time Or when we've all hit a peak and they're all hitting resistance and I'm like, okay Now it's a time to short because it looks like everything's about to rug pull here at the same time Not all the cannabis sector tickers move in tandem But a lot of them do and you can tell a lot just from looking at four or five of the major tickers like tl ry and sndl Seeing how they're moving together and then comparing that with how the entire market is doing I I just look at spy And see what that's doing all day because sometimes there's a good correlation between the weed industry and the tech industry But that's really kind of what I look at all day because I'm looking at you know pricing I'm looking at resistance and support levels and I'm looking at what the market in general is doing and how that's impacting The cannabis sector, of course if news breaks if a state decides it's going to legalize cannabis Or we get some federal kind of legalization news that's going to affect pricing too So I'm also looking at headlines. I look at yahoo finance the wall street journal of bezinga Whatever is offering good news a marijuana moment. That's a great website that is in the nitty gritty of what's happening with legalization So that gives you some insight into what I'm looking at day in day out in the cannabis sector We really enjoy having this community on x-rays to talk about this stuff So again, please like and subscribe these videos if you enjoy them and in future videos I'll get into more specifics about how I use trading view How I look at the that chart of ranked percentages and how I post that And also how we use that information to kind of post good trades on x trades itself with the app and the discord So, uh, good to see you all. Thank you so much for joining me for this video And hopefully we'll have more for you like this in the future.


Hello, everybody, and welcome to open so some in North America Vancouver. And my name is Daniel, and once again, I'm super happy to be here and even if it's a virtual session, and then please welcome to my session. I'm going to really be talk about conveyorly platform from cloud foundry to Kubernetes. And my name is Daniel. Oh, I'm working for Red Hat as a developer advocate with a specialized cloud never run time. For example, spring with Quarkus and bunch of the job on technology, like a J4C. We spend a lot of time to bring more application into Kubernetes slash cloud provider such as OpenShift, Red Hat, and then bunch of the cloud provider like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, et cetera. So with that, I spent also a lot of time to specifically use cases to using applications, sub-race, sub-smash, and lots of practices. Because I'm also responsible for CNCF and cloud network computing foundation ambassador for the past five years. So with that, I got a lot of opportunity evangelize both developer and IT operation team in terms of how to build cloud network architecture across the data center as well as public cloud for hybrid cloud strategies. So here's my contact information to follow my Twitter. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel and you can work my using tutorial and then my application from my data poll. Oh, then you're all 30 and more than happy to listen to your feedback and question with my social. Here's a quick my book here as well, the practice answerable to any Quarkus sub-race function of the D zone. Let's take a one step back, try to understand what we actually go into replatforming from cloud foundry to Kubernetes. So back in 2014, the many enterprise company tried to adopt a new cloud services, which is a platform and just service aka as based on container technology at a time. Everybody's saying Docker container for now we're going to have more OCI standard container format. However, in that, at a time, a lot of people jump into the past platform services because it gave you and a project company with the efficient infrastructure maintenance as well as more application portability and immutability. When you adapt to more scalable high performance infrastructure to run business application. So how to get starting your digital transportation and many enterprise company to get started adopting platform as a service at a time. Now you got a multiple choices like a technology and tools and even vendors offering solution. As an example here, a container with the Kubernetes with provided container orchestration with the standard Linux container such as darker. And you can also have different truth is for example, like a swarm because a lot of developer already got used to using Docker container using that simple CLI to internalize the application that we need Java and but also Python go down there, etc. So Docker swarm at a time, it allows the developer to pretty much easy to use and simple application deploy your container platform. And now they are also in the right and bottom side cloud foundry, which he invented by people know is the merging into being there. But at a time, a lot of developer actually do practice how to build micro services based on top factor. And then there are many projects how to build micro services in good and even done that application. So we did that specifically job application out of the foundry. It was a fantastic practice for developer how to build container application, specifically states the micro services with their own technology, how to build and contain energy, which is guarded and built up. So let's try to deep down the enterprise a company who actually made a decision to choose a cloud of foundry for their digital transformation journey with the cloud with the past. Like I said, at the very beginning, a developer, they will have any steam learning curve to adopt a new container platform to their test environment and Photoshop environment, not only developers but also IT operations. Because there are already many experience and practice, which is cloud of foundry provide, for example, here I and the when you why how to build container image and deploy it to container platform. Things change that after a few years, and then container platform needed to be taken care of the many different capability, for example, high scalability and high performance. And also, the more important thing is you need to actually adopt third party tools or library to maintain your application as well as for monitoring security and observation on top of the cloud of foundry is not easy to adopt their new technology flexibly dynamically, because they have their own technology garden built back it's not easy to have to new technology, even if it's a project or even standard is a perpetual technology. The big reason why here is that the market already adopted Kubernetes as a standard container orchestration platform, which means all ecosystem only consider a Kubernetes as the container platform market. For example, I need to develop or implement a new monitoring or observation tool running on Kubernetes and in plus. So previously, the vendors and other party company, a lot of choice to take care of the Kubernetes cloud of foundry and the focus form and even messes in Apache foundation. It's really hard to do as every single vendor is to take care of all distribution. Now the standard Kubernetes is still a changer and they only have Kubernetes for equal. So that's why in other side, the foundry is getting hard to adopt new technology for not only individual developer for IT operations across the main. What is the big change for cloud foundry adapters? Yes, that is the, they need to be to be survived to be running a bit critical application and then keep running the existing application and support by vendors. Just open through this. So to do that, they need to think about, okay, we need to migrate from cloud of foundry to Kubernetes. How to do that and then how much money effort and time we need to think about to make that happen. That's the reason why conveyor was designed and developed to store this kind of from not only migrate from cloud of foundry to Kubernetes. It's more like some long learning paths for the migration and management journey from application of for real to implement a year. So let's get into a little bit detail of what conveyor project like what kind of benefit you have to convey your project for your modernization journey. So in order to that let's try to so go back to and think about digital transformation. So when you in like a 10 years ago, even when you get started when you get starting digital transformation project, you maybe have some person with the business vendor so you actually or you can ask them so I can ask them public and ask you can ask public cloud providers or even a certain company how we get starting and what kind of technology we need to think about that for migration or brain. And then they already said yeah it's pretty much easy. So you need to do something like a modernize your application, modify your process also to change your culture adaptive then you develop a process and then develop the practices.  I don't need to think about not only technology for also process and future, which he allows to adopt new technologies in listening and literally, but also when you maintain the technology. But the orderly, you have to change your process, for example, as I methodology and practice a veteran, a big bang style application, then run and go into in production. So this is just some kind of no knowledge and practice, but the challenge for you and then each company specifically you already adapted from old technology, for example, cloud foundry and then your questions. What do I actually do in the way I do I guess starting and how to get around this practice from online training or vendors. So this is a very interesting survey. We have interesting survey here. How many in a project are going through it. And then according to you better find the market research application operation. It was almost values 7.7 billion dollars in 2018 and then we increase almost three times like 31 billion dollars by 26. And then the application model in the search market size also practically increase in the after the increase from 11 billion dollars to 24 billion dollars by 25. So this year 2023, so we are most just left. So the problem is here that you got a lot of opportunities. It's not an option anymore. It is mandatory to innovate your enterprise application services, but also to save costs for maintenance infrastructure and got a more reliable, reliable, flexible and high-purpose application. So question is you don't need to waste a lot of money and time and effort to follow this journey. So you can for the two better in the faster and the higher way that happened for your application. So probably you're looking for some nice tool or a solution or a solution pattern from vendors or open-source community, just avoid this mistake and achieve a lot of money and time. It's just a way to, you can ask your existing vendor, you already have a project or a solution. So for example, a customer you already have your cloud founders from your application, your business services, and then you can ask them, hey, so we need to think about modernized or a minor cloud founder that is a solution provided to us. And they can say my, oh yeah, we have some nice migration tool, you could use that and modernize your existing cloud fund. Some are Kubernetes cluster, which is your on-prem data center or Amazon, or Azure, AKM. And then the challenge for you, again, you've got too many tools, technology, typically proprietary tools, because many vendors, they only provide their own tools, which appeal to their technologies. So we can only support this tool, modernize it. This target is more relevant than the standard open-source platform. That is a big challenge. So let's try to really think about what kind of challenge it is when you have the proprietary vendors tool. So the majority of the existing tool is pretty much a proprietary tool, proprietary tools, which you only support some vendors, target, Kubernetes, or a target platform as a service environment. But even if you would be okay, okay, because the only thing I need to do is to modernize this application to standard Kubernetes environment. However, once you modernize and you all once again, lock in the technology. So the first thing is open-source data, but you need to learn the technology as you get used to how to use it in a practice user as well. And then once you adapt to some of the methodology with the vendors and pattern or practice, it should be only applicable in your specific organization, not broadly from organization A to B across your company. So when you adapt to new technology and tools for your modernization, for example, Cloud Foundry, you also think about the trend, because you've got to try to just start like an MVP or a different concept. Once you've got it, you need to want to scale out that success story. So this is the reason why, again, it can be your project and the community was born and raised. The main goal of conveyor community allows you to rate your application modernization to Kubernetes rather than any other vendor's Kubernetes services. So with this community, a lot of people are so much passionate about helping others modernize and migrate their modernized application or a Bandarok app. Through building new tools, best practice on the platform and rehost and re-factor the application, not only application, but also the infrastructure barrier to the Kubernetes. If you're into the journey and path to the Kubernetes adoption and barrier project and a bunch of the open source technology, you're going to try to get started with the assessment, your application portfolio, not only application, but also infrastructure. For example, how frankly are you going to deploy your business application in production. Individual developers already get used to know how to use CIC. Any kind of natural path to the static IP address and or so what kind of observability monitoring tool you're going to use and how to handle bucket breaking.  It can be done by one single person. You can bring an entire organization and a quarter from developer architect, DBA and administrator and cloud admin and even QR team. Then after that, you can rationalize it. On this side, we're going to go this way like rehosting the platforming or re-factoring the application. Then you're going to prepare the resources, which is time, effort, and money for all the human relations. Well, you're going to give a try to a concept or some other project to release and then once you've got to succeed and you've got a good enough knowledge, but also practice, let's get out your story entirely. You're just as well as the company wine system in production, you can find the more detailed methodology with some relevant practice. You can visit the right bottom on the bottom of the URL to get up.com, conveyer and methodology. So here is the $10,000 fee umbrella conveyor project, what it looks like. And so there are many people actually passionate interested in the project. They're building up and they keep developing and improving conveyor tools in the niche. And then the IBM and Red Hat are showing during this project and we are looking for a community contributor to be part of this project. That's why the IBM and Red Hat productize in this conveyor project tools for customers. We can also provide an individual developer for free tools. Red Hat migration to give for runtime in our raw developer model. From first target, for example, for the version of the JLK7, of the JLK17 and the JBCP6 and AP8 also spring to workers and there are a bunch of them. Conveyor project, conveyor community and project actually by the multiple tools. Here we hosting and app-mean factory. The rehosting is a crane. Remember what is the rehosting in case you never heard about that before. The rehosting is a really repetitive application. For example, you were running your existing Java or downloaded application running on bare metal or virtual. And now you're going to just running on different. So we're going to really be deep dive into today and then a little bit later. The refactoring is really reviving application. For example, you have a model application for Java like a web server and app server. And now you're going to more high scalability and loosely couple your record service. But with factor, not only Java, but also standard Python, et cetera. In other words, you need to rewrite it. And of course, there are tackle, which are also your application. Et cetera, but for you, I don't know. Okay. So today, as the our session title, we platform from Foundry to Kubernetes. The rest of it will focus on move to queue. As literally you can say, as literally you can see, we're going to some kind of move our already workload to the current. So as you can see, you can you can go to data repository under the conveyor and move to queue. You can find a multiple source to target. For example, you can leave platform from about Foundry to Kubernetes or retails. That only just normal workload, but also serverized. Advanced deploy strategy using ham chart and active Python. Like that. You can also leave platform like our application. Like a ham kit. Like a JLCP. And then when it's made from that cost form and approach with platforming. Today, by all means, today, we're going to only focus on Cloud Foundry to platforming to. So today we're going to, today we're going to focus on the platforming from Cloud Foundry to Kubernetes. Okay, let's get right into the demo of how it works. First of all, we can go to conveyor.io page, community official page. You can go to in there and combine a lot of information and documentation. When you go to there, you can scroll down there a bunch of two and we're going to really focus on moving to the project. Now, when you click on learn more, you can find how to install the application using when you buy or CLI, which one do you prefer. And then we're going to really be more try to use when you want. Now, when you go to tutorial, you're going to use when you want or CLI, how to start and then how to import the application and modernize. Okay, so this is my terminal window. And actually, I'm going to use when you want to use container image, you don't need to install it. So using container image. And then here is a Docker run, and you can use a part man and the way that you can be a move to Q UI and. So let me try to run this Docker command is so literally start that move to Q API. It's the API. And then when you go to web browser opening and local city, and now you can see the when you want version move to Q, which is cool. Let's try to create a new workspace here. Let's say my workspace. Now I'm going to create a new project here. Let's say cloud founded to Q CFQ. And then I'm going to try to include actually the modernize modernize the application, which is happening. So I already have the sample application here, example, Z file, I just choose and upload it and it's starting. You can actually have a multiple language path. So this is a Java application. That's why you can find the Java Maven and then already sample application. Palm XML.  It allows you to have more advanced Kubernetes ability. Not only just normal application, but also our city and the GitOps cloud founded a bunch of operations. You can actually later on the open this OEM file. And then there are also K-never Kubernetes and Maven. You can deploy the subres function as well. Okay, let's try to transformation. Now I'm going to hit return and hit next. And then if you want to specify when it's like styler, then you can specify like a label. I'm going to read empty by default. Now here is all transformer type you are in. I'm going to just read the default, but let me try to read it. Just like you saw in the migration plan. There are go city. Now you're going to generate for view comfy. Then there are K-never and K-never services just in case. When you select all this kind of stuff and you got a bunch of the YAML file to run on your Kubernetes processing. Okay, this is services Java Maven. And then I'm going to build the application based images. And then next step. So I'm going to expose this service like 8080. And then there are some service transfer runtime. I'm going to try to J-box at the moment. But you can select the home care or delivery. And here is specifically registry. You're going to push this image into some kind of container registry by default. It's a query.io. But if you don't have any, if you don't want to use a query.io, you can use any other container registry on Azure. For example, dark hall or Google container registry or your internal private container. I'm going to use query.io. So here is my image name space on my creation on query.io, which is Daniel author. Okay, I'm going to go to the next. And here is the cross tile in the Kubernetes. As you can see, there are many different types of Kubernetes. The Amazon EKS and Azure AKS or Google GKE or IBM IKS or IBM official and then just publish Kubernetes by default. But today I'm going to try to use developer sandbox by Red Hat developer program. So which AROS developer provides a free Kubernetes cluster. Even if it's a limited Mr. Sage for 30 days for free, which is really cool. You don't need to assign or you don't need to give some credit card information about the provider. So I'm going to use that. So I'm going to select open shift at this moment. And then go to next. And then so when you use Kubernetes and you need it to progress or some kind of know the purse configuration to ask the application. The open shift and you can open shift automatically provide the route URL, which is now based on HTTP proxy operator. So you can add or see you to access. Fully, a qualified domain name in the end by excellent. I'm going to just create my service using cross IP. And then this is just some fantastic as well. So when you deploy to application to modelize the application. So you literally have some more reliability from the other. So replicate to which is a recommended way, which means we've got some other one of the application. The automatically Kubernetes will be balancing all incoming traffic running in the application. In the meantime, the current is just so that some better part and for our map, which is already different maintenance practice by the operation. That's what I'm saying. You need to also change culture, practice and process with what's up to new technology running on. Okay, I'm going to just read. And then, in order to read three underneath authentication because I already have my local. And then here's the ingress host name. So let's say this is actually a sandbox URL. However, you don't need I don't need to actually use this one because I'm going to use. Well, you are better than the rest. Okay. So, and hit the next, it automatically generate output here. And I can download it. This output as the file, and I'm going to extract the G file. And I can open in some ID to get what it looks like. So I'm going to just running on my ES code. As you can see, I'm going to review me. And then you can see that there are the m2k file, which is I select and then here is the compilation, which is exactly selected. The UI, you can change that. You want to be transparent. And then when you go to your workspace, there are three different directory. One is deploy which all compilation for this update. A script is about build application as a container and pushy application containers. You go to the build, the script, the default container and Docker. You can also change the department. And then if you select like a Node.js or a different language, find a different base. But today I'm going to use the Mac OS M1, which is just in an image. 64, which is not going to running on Kubernetes by default. So this I changed a little bit at the platform top. The build type is the Linux format is an x86, four gigabytes. I'm going to add the two build images. And then this is a push image best script. Once again, the default container run time is accurate. And the default container registry is a query.io, which is a namespace with my username. You can change that any kind of registry, directly this is a script, or during the worldwide what you do. You can put your preferred registry. Okay. So let's try to take a look at the deploy directory. As you can see, we always select all different options like CI city, I go city, and then the platform pipeline. And then also there are some configuration and I go city when you go inside and this is just a demo file. You don't need to worry about all the same file because previously you have some only configuration demo property file or deploying your existing application. Finally, now with this conveyor, move to queue, replatform into actually all relevant Kubernetes best and resource demo file. You don't need to be engineering this. This is the beauty of the build when you replatform Cloud Foundry Kubernetes once again.  And here's the interesting part. So what is a K native? So in case you have never ever heard about the K native before, the K native is a CNC project. It allows you, like the IT operation team, but also developer to manage your application and deploy your build as a stubber as unpublished. For example, I want to deploy my application. It's like Amazon Lambda or Azure Function on top of the Kubernetes. How do you do that? So K native make that happen. But you need to rewrite your existing Kubernetes manifest like deployment or batch job. As you can see, the client, the service which is in observing, we need to rewrite existing. Cloud Foundry Manifestor or even using Kubernetes Manifestor. With this tool, you automatically generate this YAML syntax. You don't need to know how to rewrite or how to specify your K native service and test it. So in case you deploy this application. Another YAML is just general, your deployment resources like Java, maybe deployment as you can see. And then we just do the visually same image, full pass. Like by that I yield, then you're all three zero and then Java may be finished. And you can also then your services as well. Okay, I'm going to switch my terminal window and then I'm going to try to deploy this YAML file to my Kubernetes, which is a relatively purposeful. But first thing, let me try to change it by directory. And you're all in a download output. And also I'm going to try to go into on the script track. Okay, so let me try to build my app first using the build. That's great. If you're using Windows Operate, it's still equal in that file. Let me try to really make it faster. And then I'm going to just build the new application. My internal runs. There are two images in the build. There are images in the natural of the application. The image, which is Java, maybe. Can actually specify multi architecture to build application using inner architecture. So let's try to find out the container image actually generated in my local Java Maven and a building application. I'm going to push this image into my query registry. So it pushes my registry and the two actually images. Okay, I'm just done. Let's visit to my query.io here. And I'm going to try to filter in using Java Maven. And now this is Java Maven. Just push that. Then you go to tagging and label is latest. Which is exactly same already defined in my Yemo file. This is my developer sandbox and my empty names. Let me try to create a new project here. So first of all, I'm going to make sure I'm literally logging in the right projects. They're just really your registry, the empty project, there's no resources. So now I'm going to try to apply this application. Or just also apply. You can use as a code. As you can see, now new application deployed. You can see two application replication. And you can actually go inside the view box. You can see here is a Wi-Fi version. Just running on it. It's much faster. My application will be platform from Cloud Foundry. I just ask if it is wrong to see the Java application with Cloud Foundry. Okay. So I'm going to just get my service, which is Java Maven. This is across the IP. So I'm going to expose this service to access from my external services. So now I have a route URL. Just go to get route. You can have a fully qualified defined URL. And when you go back to Apology View in developer sandbox and OpenShift. You can see there is a new icon Open URL. When you click on the URL, and you can actually get into Wi-Fi server. So this will read. I just like a resident hand-meaning. I will create a formation and we preform it. And then we preform it in Cloud Foundry. We preform it with one of the existing Java application running on. They will see it. I'm running on the Java switch. Okay. So that's it. That's what I'm going to showcase today for the demo, how it works. Let's try to go back to our conveyor community. We are interested in more involving in the conveyor project. We have a 406 query at this moment. A 64 and a UI and a riser and so on. So if you want to see a vision in my project, into conveyor project, we are more than happy to have you. And then here is some slack channel and then how to subscribe, subscribe to conveyor community and more information. And then here's a YouTube channel. Then you can find more information relevant to conveyor project, not only moving to Q, but also the other project as well. And I also created more than 100 tutorial videos. I'm so encouraged all of you to subscribe to my YouTube channel here, the YouTube channel Handler. Add Daniel out through zero or bin the URL Daniel TV, or if you scan QR code, there are many other, there are many tutorials, not only Kubernetes, but also the conveyor and then Quarkus and microservice function. And then you are more than happy to give some comment or requests.  Sure. Why not? It will be given some more inspiration and motivation and keep doing this kind of tutorial video. Yeah. Once again, feel free to subscribe to this channel and give some more inspiration, feedback for the year. That's it. Thanks for joining again. And hopefully you enjoyed this session and feel free to reach out to me directly on my Twitter and LinkedIn and YouTube channel. And hopefully you enjoy the rest of our open source summit. Thank you. Have a good rest.


The House of Representatives has called on President Biden and will to urgently appoint a substantive auditor general of the Federation for Transparency and to enhance good financial accounting for the country, the Speaker of the House. Right Honorable Tajidin Abbas, represented by the Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu and the Chairman House Committee on Public Accounts, Honorable Bami Delis-Salam made a call during the unveiling and training program for members of the Public Accounts Committee in Abuja. The work of the BSc is complemented by the office of the Auditor-General of the Federation. It is in this slide that the Auditor-General's office needs to be occupied. The appointment should be in place because it is a requirement of the Constitution. I am joining my voice to that of my brother, the Chairman of the Committee. We cannot afford to have an acting director, overseeing director, or whatever nomenclature he is described to occupy that all important position. So this is a call to Mr. President to look into confirming the person who is there now or anybody of his choice to take up the role of the Auditor-General of this country to send the right signal out that this government is really ready to pursue taxpayers' money. I am confident that the BSc will be vital in helping the 10th Assembly achieve its goals of ensuring transparency, accountability, and good governance in Nigeria. Chairman of the PAC, Kala Salami thanked the House leadership for the due diligence in the composition of the Committee, saying members are ready to hit the ground running with a vision to improving every area of operations of the Committee. We have a number of legal practitioners as members of the Committee. We have members from the real estate and media consultancy. We have members who are into marketing and public administration. We have members who are mathematicians and of course who are quite a number of bankers in this 10th Assembly Committee of the public account. Of course we are engineers. We have persons who, if you bring any bill of quantity in that field, can help us look at it with the equal eye that they are trained with. We have people who are economists, quite a number of them in this Committee, and quite a whole load of other professionals. And the purpose, I believe, is to ensure that we bring in the varieties of these expertise in the consideration of issues that will be coming before the public account committee of the House of Representatives. Mr Speaker, we have just held one meeting and I want to assure you that the meeting we held has shown that members are really, really ready to hit the ground running and to ensure that the confidence reposed in us by the leadership of the House and by extension the Nigerian public is well justified.

Russia warns any attempt to attack Belarus doomed to failure. Any attempts to attack Belarus are doomed to failure. Director of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Second CIS Department, Alexei Polishuk, said in an interview with TASS, adding that the Belarusian Army forces and the joint Russian-Belarusian regional group of troops reliably protect the western borders of the Union State. NATO has been boosting the storm troops on the borders of the Union State, mainly in Poland and the Baltic countries in recent years, he noted. It is being presented as if the issue was about preventive actions aimed at neutralizing certain threats from our side. Meanwhile previously, the allegedly temporary deployment of the Alliance's forces on a rotation basis was under consideration, whereas today no one makes any secret of the fact the Western military have arrived there for long, the diplomat added. It is principle that it is NATO that is bringing military infrastructure closer to the borders of the Union State. We are forced to respond and retaliate adequately on such unfriendly steps, he said. How serious the risks of escalation, provocation and attacks against Belarus from the Polish side are is a question to military analysts. I should only note that Russia and Belarus form a common defense space and are connected by respective obligations. Any attempts of making such attacks are doomed to failure. The western borders of the Union State are reliably protected by the Belarusian armed forces and the joint Russian-Belarusian regional group of arms.
