Welcome back to the Trade Hacker Mindset. In this episode, we're gonna talk about how to overcome a series of losses. Trading the markets can be difficult to master and seemingly just out of reach. Professional traders have a secret.  It requires the Trade Hacker Mindset. All right, so let's jump into this topic. How to overcome a series of losses. To start with, understand this. Series of losing trades is a normal part of being a trader. Every single trader goes through it. Every single successful trader goes through strings of losses, okay? It happens to me every month. Sometimes every week, you know, at some level. But the reality is that does not mean that you can't be successful, okay? So think about this for a minute. Think about a specific time when you had a series of losses, okay? Now really try to think back about how you felt as you experienced those losses. So typically it goes something like this. You have one loss and you're like, ah, darn it. One loss, you know, I lost on the trade, okay? But next, right? So not a big deal. Second loss in a row. Oh man, that's two losses in a row. You start to feel a little bit uncomfortable, right? I mean, think about maybe the feeling in your chest. Maybe you start to get a little bit tighter in your chest, right? Third loss in a row. Now you're starting to, sometimes maybe your confidence in the strategy starts to falter. Maybe you start thinking, do I need to do something else to my strategy? Is this a good strategy? You know, all these thoughts subconsciously or consciously start flowing through your mind. A fourth loss in a row. I'm done, right? Like how many times have I seen new traders where if they lose three or four trades in a row, they completely abandon the strategy. They completely abandon what they're doing or they completely change the variation of the strategy or they completely jump away and go on to the next shiny object. It happens all the time. But the reality is, I have strings of three, four, five, six losers in a row all the time on different strategies. But the difference is, is that I have confidence in the strategy, okay? And I have confidence in the strategy because of a couple of reasons. Number one, I have created a trading plan, okay? So I have some very specific rules and criteria for how I trade. Number two, I trade with proper position size, okay? So if you have one or two or three or four losers in a row, but your position size is too big, then guess what's gonna happen? That's going to mentally shift your mind into thinking that it was the strategy when in reality, it might just be your position size, okay? Scaling down position size is the remedy for a ton of trading issues, okay? So consider that, is that the issue, okay? Number two, going back to the trading plan, if you're taking a specific trade and let's just use a specific strategy like a calendar spread strategy, okay? If you are copying that trade from somebody and let's just hypothetically say it's a navigation trading trade alert, right? So now if you're copying that trade and all of a sudden you get into a period where you have a string of losing trades, let's say two or three or four trades in a row that become losers, what is your confidence going to be like on your fifth trade? It's not gonna be very high, right? Either you've already stopped trading it or it's completely shattered your confidence or, or, or, right? So part of the reason that you don't have the confidence is because you haven't done the homework, you haven't done the backtesting, you haven't done the, you know, small size or paper trading for that strategy to have the ability to have the confidence to withstand those strings of losers, okay? Hopefully that makes sense because that's a huge, huge deal. Do not gloss over this as if it's just some little thing. No, this is a big deal, okay? You have to, have to, have to put in the work on the front end so that in the back end when you do have those strings of losers which you will have in every single strategy, you have to have that confidence so that a string of losers isn't going to shake your confidence and it's not going to throw you off track from continuing to trade a strategy that has a definite edge, okay? So that's number one. Number two, and this kind of plays into position size as well, but it's, you know, are you too focused on individual trade performance, okay? Because if you trade based on statistics and probabilities like we do, then you know that the probabilities play out over a large number of trade occurrences, okay? So if you have an 80% win rate on a specific strategy, that does not mean every eight out of every 10 trades will be winners, right? But the more trades you do, now if you do 100 trades, there's a very high likelihood that 80 of those 100 trades will be winners. If you do 1,000 trades, there's a very high likelihood that around 800 of those 1,000 will be winners. But 10 trades, I mean, you might easily have five winners, five losers, but that doesn't mean that the strategy isn't working. That doesn't mean that you need to do anything to fix it. That just means that you have to let the probabilities play out. So focus on many trade occurrences, okay? Focus on the big picture, focus on the law of large numbers, not on individual trades. And that goes for losers and winners, okay? Think about that. Just because you have a couple winning trades in a row, go back to that example of 10 trades, just because you have 10, you're 10 out of 10 on the last trades, that doesn't mean you're a genius. And that doesn't mean that the strategy is now have, the strategy now has a 100% win rate, okay? That means for that little, tiny, minuscule data of 10 trades that you had a good string going, okay? But don't let that fool you into increasing your position size or doing things that you shouldn't do, stick to the trading plan, okay? So it works both ways for both winners and losers. Going back to the trading plan, okay? Cause this is a big one. If you don't have a written trading plan, then you have zero chance of being a good trader, okay? Let's just be very clear and concise. And what's interesting is this topic came up in our community and it came up because there are, we have some awesome, awesome traders in our community and there was a couple of traders that were sharing their trading plan. And you know, maybe it's, maybe you gravitate to just writing things out. I like to write things with pen and paper because it actually helps integrate into my mind better. And then sometimes I transfer that to a spreadsheet or a document or whatever. I would encourage you to do whatever works best for you. Maybe it's a spreadsheet. Maybe it's just a written plan on a piece of paper, whatever it is, do something, okay? And at a very, at a minimum, what needs to be included in that trading plan is your entry and exit rules. For certain strategies, this isn't critical, but for certain strategies, you might need, you might want to input, you know, kind of what the risk versus reward is. For example, if you're using a profit target and a stop loss, you know, all those details need to go into it. Some of this is going to vary by strategy. You need to write in your trading plan, what the buying power required is for what you're doing. In other words, really dial in what your position size needs to be, not only based on your account size, but also based on your overall risk tolerance. And that's going to take some trading to actually figure out. You know, most people think, most people start out and they think they're trading in proper position size. And a lot of times what you'll realize is that you might be trading two or three times the size that you actually should be. So what you want to figure out, and this only can come from experience a lot of times, is start with the minimum position size, feel the losses, actually go through the losses, feel the losses, and then, and only then start to scale up, okay? And once you get to, you'll know your pain point, right? Once you get to a point where you don't like the feeling of taking a loss of a certain size, then that's your threshold. That's your pain threshold for position size. So, you know, some people have bigger accounts, some people have higher pain thresholds, and so you need to figure that out for yourself. I can't do that. We give you parameters for each of our strategies of what we feel like the maximum position size that you should ever take based on your account size, but it really comes down to you figuring that out for yourself because everybody is a little bit different, okay? Position size, and then the fourth part of your trade plan needs to be your pre-market and post-market routine, okay? Some examples that I do personally. One, for our community and all of the trades that we do for our community, I post a current positions and outlooks every single day, pre-market. So that comes down to here are our current positions. Here's our, you know, if there's any action that we need to take, for example, are we going to consider closing this trade today? Are we near a profit target? Or do we need to take it off from a losing standpoint? Do we need to adjust the trade? So I document any action items that might be happening with that trade today. And if there's no action, it's just a hold, right? And then on the notes, if there's any specific notes about things to be looking for, for that trade, okay? So those are just kind of some simple things that I post about each trade. And then position and outlooks kind of give a snapshot of what's going on in the markets, in the pre-market, as well as potential trades for the day. So it was implied volatility contracting. Is implied volatility expanding? What's going on? Is there any big economic news coming out? Is the FOMC meeting today? Is the CPI meeting reported? Is there anything else? And so just giving a snapshot of here's my current positions, here's what I'm looking at for the day, and that gets you in the right mindset of kind of preparing yourself for going into the trading day, okay? So that's part of my pre-market. The other thing that I do is I like to meditate, okay? Some of you may or may not like that. I know there's several people in our community that also do the same thing. I like to meditate, and when I do it, I'm not thinking about anything, except my breath, okay? And this does a, you wouldn't believe, if you don't meditate, you wouldn't believe the clarity and the, I guess I just want to say the peace of mind. I mean, that's what it's about, right? It just creates a peace of mind going into the trading day so that it just helps me make better decisions. It may do something different for you, but it just helps me make more rational decisions as opposed to just coming into the market, just guns ablazing and just kind of shooting from the hip at what comes my way. That just doesn't work for me, okay? So that's part of my pre-market routine. And then you need to have a post-market routine as well. Part of my post-market routine that I've really built on over the last few months is I upload all of my trades for the day into my trade tracking software, which I use Trader Sync. And when I do that, then I have to tag each trade as the strategy that I'm using and I take notes on the trades, okay? I take notes about if I was feeling something. I take notes about if I made a mistake on the trade. I make a note about some little quirk that's not normal about how I manage the trade or if I broke the rules, I flag myself, I do all that stuff. And one thing that I've found is it really, like there are times now, just this little thing, there are times now when I am considering breaking my rules or doing something with a trade that in the back of my mind, I know I shouldn't be doing. And previously I may have even just done it anyway. And then I kind of am mad at myself after the fact, or when the trade closes or the trade goes against me. But now just this little post-market routine where I flag myself in my tracking system and it shows up as a big red flag on my trading screen, if I do something, just that little thing has prevented me from making as many mistakes, okay? Because I'm like, ah, I'm gonna have to flag myself in my TraderSync software if I do this. Just little things like that, it's amazing, just some of the little psychological things that can be a big difference, okay? So that's the trading plan. Minimum entry, exit rules, potentially risk reward, position size, and pre and post-market routine is the minimum. Now here's the thing, we did a live stream based on one of our calendar strategies, not too long ago. And like I said, a couple of our members posted their trading plans, which is kind of what triggered this.  If you're not comfortable posting it publicly in our community, then you can also send it directly to me, personally. Just my email, direct message, whatever it is. I would love to see everyone's trading plan. And if anything, just get a second set of eyes on it, I can comment and let you know if there's anything I would suggest changing. Guess how many people sent me their trading plan? Or guess how many people posted their trading plan in the community? Zero, zero, goose egg, nada, none, okay, there's, if I had to guess, I would say 10% of the traders in our community have a written trade plan. Now what are the statistics about winning and losing traders? The one that I always hear is 90% of traders lose money. Well, if 90% of traders don't have a trading plan, do you think there's any correlation to that? Do you think there might be a little bit of tiny bit of correlation to that? I do, okay? All right, so just to recap. So when it comes to dealing with how to overcome a series of losses, number one, create a trade plan, okay? If you're not creating a trade plan, you are not a serious trader. Number two, trade your plan, okay? Number three, focus on your position size and scale down if needed. If you go through a string of losses, there's nothing wrong with scaling down your position size until you can kind of get a better handle mentally and emotionally on that strategy, okay? Figure out if there is actually an issue or if it's just letting the probabilities play out. And number four, lastly, focus on the law of large numbers. Don't focus on individual trade performance. Focus on many occurrences and how that allows the probabilities to play out. Hope this was helpful and we'll see you in the next episode.

Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining this session. We are going to add this here salameter and cloud kidney hockey and how one can leverage them to build a dynamic and agnose cloud monitoring building solution. Just not the line of the presentation that we're going to follow here today. We are going to start with an introduction with respect to cloud billing and how one can perform that and why one needs that in the different models that we have. And then we're going to showcase the stack that we the billing stack that we implemented with the open stack components salameter in our cloud kitty. And then of course we're going to finish with a conclusion with some takeaways. Just a brief introduction about about myself. I'm a cloud consultant and enthusiast. I am a PMC and committed for the patch cloud stack with this, which is an alternative project for open stack. But nonetheless, I have been contributing for open stack since 2018. And I'm a core reviewer and the next project team leader for cloud kitty. And they sponsor that is driving all of the extensions we are doing in open stack, not just in the billing aspect of it, but you know, even in neutral and keystone we have some other extensions that we're implementing. They sponsor the company that sponsoring all of these work is everywhere. And they are one of the leading cloud providers in Switzerland with more than 3000 business customers and over 20 years of experience delivering business critical platforms. And the interesting part is that because of the business they deliver, they have some very specific requirements, which pushes us to deploy a very complex and heterogeneous cloud computing environment. So just to give you guys some idea, at the same time, and because of some different business requirements, they have running cloud stack open stack v cloud and many other different systems that are used to build their cloud environment and to deliver their business. So just a brief introduction about the environments we are dealing with, they are heterogeneous, vast complex and dynamic. And that means we need to handle different types of devices different types of visualization systems different types of networking storage systems and of course, many, many different applications that are delivered to the users. And when it comes to cloud billing in the context that we are working on right now, basically the cloud billing systems systems, they are the ones that are collecting users data and these users that can come from storage network processing VPN users and many other different resources that we have in the cloud environment. And after the collection we have the data processing and rating phases. And these two steps that need to scale easily. That's one of the requirements we have when implementing such billing systems. We should also be able to add new metrics on the fly. And also of course, support different pricing for, for different conceptions of their same resources, and also support the transformation like whenever you are transforming somehow string data that you are capturing in some value or some of some sort. Of course, a change between different scales. So what are the options that we've, we found when we were looking for such a business such a billing system to fit all of those requirements, basically we found billing portals, and these portals they would create an abstraction on top of the cloud computing system. And they would connect a lot of applications and perform data collection rating billing voicing on board client onboarding and user management and so on and many other different features you know like some predictive analysis of the environment some forecasting for the resource consumption and so on. So after analyzing these different systems, why didn't the client that we are working with adopted a code portal system well basically because those are our normally proprietary solutions, at least we did not find any good open source solution out there. We are easily customizable. And so, you know, we need to add new metrics on the fly we don't actually when we started two years ago we didn't know all of the metrics that we are using today. So therefore, the proprietary systems they did not feel that easy to extend it to customize. And when we say customization here we're not talking about you know changing icons and CSS and so on. We are actually talking about the type of metric that the system monitors stores and then you know use uses for billing. And also you know whenever integrating a new system or a new device or a new application. So for them they have the supportive variety of different application systems, but nonetheless whenever we would need to add a new one for instance we would need to raise a ticket to discuss, you know how this implementation would be executed and the cost and so on. So that would make them a little bit slower to to support new metrics and new integrations that they need. One alternative to cloud portals is something called monetary quota, and that's a feature that I have seen applied only so far at least only on Apache cloud stack. The idea is that you limit the user like quota you limit the use of computing resources for a user based on a monetary value so instead of limiting the amount of virtual machines for instance that the user can deploy. You actually assign the user a value like a credit, and then the user can consume that credit by using and allocating virtual machines and each one of the resource that the user allocates has somehow a monetary value that's attached to it. And well for us for this specific client that did not work, because the model this type of model is intended for private cloud use. And because the client is actually a public cloud model and we need to something to mimic the pay as you go, which is actually the public cloud model that would not fit and also you know open stack did not have these implementation built in. As far as I know at least. And last, the last model that we were discussing and we evaluated is the idea of rating. So the rating is just about, you know, assigning a monetary value, a price for for for the consumption of computing resource or I called computing resource for the client and in a given time. And then these applications they would normally generate reports you know, explain showing the amount of resource that was consumed and the monetary value for those resources that the user consume that that's the model we adopted, and it fits nicely in the public cloud model. And open stack has a code key that has a component called called called kitty, which is a rating as a size module. So it fits nicely the requirements we were working with the, the chain that we implemented. And of course here we are for instance hiding the parts that after called kitty, we have like an ERP, another system of the company that's kept getting these resources that were rated that that were that had a monetary value assigned to them, and then you know generate a rating and send to the client. But basically, we have the cloud environment with all of the different resources that once needs needs to handle like identities, user connections, object storage, computing resources and so on. All of those are monitored by in different systems as well for instance the cloud is a different code computing orchestration then open stack. And then we have silo meter monitoring gathering data there and persistent in your key. And after the data is persisted in your kids consumed by quality kitty so we can rate it so we can assign a monitor value to it. That's a very simple stack all of the components they are open source which is interesting and we can extend quite easily. Of course we implemented this but you know this is not just what we have production because as soon as we started implementing it, we found some limitations. So, for instance, silo meter silo meter was not able to create new metrics on the fly all of the metrics that silo meter had built in they were hard coded meaning. There is a Python code that is executed and that collects and handles the metric. That's the problem because we wanted to be able to generate new metrics, meaning collect data from different API's and from new API's in runtime. And that was not possible when we started working with silo meter so to overcome that we implement we created a new subsystem and new feature in in silo meter, which is called dynamic posters. The idea is that one can define the posters the agents gathering data in silo meter via email. So basically you declare the open the open stack API that you want to call the parameters you want to retrieve and how you want to process them. And then you store them in the back end and in our case the back end is not key. So that's the first extension with it and then we noticed that okay we want to monitor not just open stack resources as I explained to you guys at the beginning the sponsor has you know, a very heterogeneous called environment, which means that we need to monitor different, we need to be able to monitor different systems at the same time, and ideally with the same billing pipeline that we were building. So we extended side the dynamic posters in silo meter that we created even further, meaning we enabled the dynamic posters to monitor any PI that we want as long as they come, they, they expose a JSON format. I put an asterisk here in the implementation because silo meter had an integration with the radios gateway before with S3 protocol. But as the hard coded poster it was something you know written in Python it could not actually easily extend. And when I say easily extend here I'm talking about you know the operators, because somebody from the operating that's operating this whole infrastructure they might not be that familiar with Python, or might not be that familiar to extend this type of modules. And therefore, for them it's way easier to configure a new poster. That's what we introduced with a dynamic poster using YAML for instance then then coding the poster with Python. And by delivering these two implementations, we are able to monitor basically any type of API that responds JSON with with silo meter right now, even if the API is not an open stack. And, you know if the API is requires credentials requires authentication for instance silo meter has a built-in integration with with Barbican that we also introduce it. So, all of the credentials are safely stored in Barbican and retrieved by silo meter and then use it to connect to the system that we are monitoring. So, it's a quite solid and secure monitoring chain that we extended silo meter to have and to support. After silo meter we started noticing, because we put the system production and then you know everything was nice until it was not. So, for instance, we started noticing that in your key we was not returning the right version for the attributes of the monitor the results by right version of the attribute here is I mean for instance, in the middle of a virtual machine, it's stored in your key as an attribute. If the flavor changes in the middle of the month, for instance, and if we do a reprocessing for that month called in your key was always returning the latest metadata that was stored there. So, that was the problem, because then instead of using the correct value for the rating, we were using the wrong one the wrong information to define the price. So we had to fix that for in hockey as well. And after fixing that and of course we will continue moving on and with the run the system up and running. We start noticing some slowdowns in hockey and that was happening because of the database scheme that was implemented to it. So we had to implement to improve and to optimize some of the office database schema as well to support the growing data sets that we have. And last but not least, we also extended called kitty. So we needed to introduce the support to the rate xx aggregation methods in your in called kitty, because called kid was not properly using them. So the rate xx, these are some options in hockey that allows you to calculate the rate between two different to two data points in time. And called kid was not actually executing that use of the API properly when these aggregation methods were being used then we fix that as well. And last but not least the usage reports called kid was had a fixed usage report model meaning it would only return the resource ID quantity of the resource that was used in hours and then the price. So for our use case we wanted to be able to retrieve for instance the metadata the attributes that are stored there in called kitty as well. So we extended this API to allow integrators and other people consuming the called API to retrieve the metadata that that is stored to it as well. So whenever you retrieve for us whenever we are retrieving data from called kitty, we are able to retrieve not just the price and the quantity but also the data attached to that to those rating formation and then we can generate more meaningful reports there. In conclusion, we were able to build a very solid and open source building pipeline with silo meter in hockey and called kitty. And that's interesting because we are able to monitor and build all of the cloud resources. So it's not just about open stack resources. So everything else that we have in the cloud environment and that's supported by this pipeline. We have a limitation right now. That's worth mentioning the extensions that we did in silo meter they are not able to to monitor XML API so for the instance the V cloud that we have right now. The data is captured by some scripts and then persisted in hockey, but after the disease in hockey called kid is rates them as we rated any other resources. So that's one of the last extensions that are missing in the dynamic poster subsystem that we introduce in silo meter. And this setup is stable and has been in solid and it has been running for over two years already. And we keep improving and working with it and not all of the implementation but most of them that we did they are already in the upstream. And they were already released for instance silo meter all of the implementations we did in silo meter so far. They were already released in victoria release of open stack in hockey some of the pull requests for measures some of them are still open. We do know that in hockey is in like a gray area right now it's not part of open stack. It's not a component from open stack but it's quite heavily used and there is a movement to somehow bring this type of system back to the community. But so far when we when we fix it, those limitations we propose the fixes back to the young project in GitHub. And in called kid that is a think one extra pay pull request measure request that's still open there but you know it's it's coming at least probably in wallaby release. And for the future that's, we are only missing one thing one step to be able to build a full blown called portal with open source. And that's what we are working on right now. So basically we have developed a customer onboarding and management portal that enables us you know to do the user onboarding to manage the users and to integrate different systems in the in the in the in the cloud environment and to provide that unified unified view of the cloud computing environment for the end user. We are right now testing and validating it internally and the system will be open sourcing the coming months. And that's basically all of my presentation. Thank you guys for watching it and if you have any further inquiries questions. You can just ping me and send me an email in my private mail account and I'll be happy to reply to you back. Thank you. Bye.


وأقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال وأقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله سوى أنمام البقاري ويسد باب قول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ويل للعرب من شر قد قترب يقول حدثنا مالي كبنو اسماعين قال حدثنا ابن عيينة أنه سمع الزهرية عن عروة عن زينابة ببنت أمي سلمة عن أمي حبيبة هذا الحديث as I mentioned بقاري narrated from مالي كبنو اسماعين let's focus on this chain of narration because there's some benefits in this this is a very powerful benefit in this إن شاء الله تعالى بقاري narrating it from his teacher whose name is مالي كبنو اسماعين who is called مالي كبنو اسماعين ابن الزياد النهدي who said حدثنا ابن عيينة ابن عيينة هي سفيان ابن عيينة سفيان narrated from الزهري and زهري is محمد ابن مصنب ابن شهاب الزهري is the great who had from عروة ابن زبيل the brother of عبدالله من زبيل whose auntie was his maternal auntie was our mother عائش رضي الله تعالى عنها then the hadith is three female companions listen to it عن زي نبى بنت عمي سلمة زي نبى بنت عمي سلمة is the daughter of عمي سلمة the prophet's wife does that make sense then زي نبى بنت عمي سلمة is ربيبة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلمة she grew up in the prophet's house she's a female companion عن أمي حبيبة عن أمي حبيبة عن زي نبى بنت جحش عوات both the wives of the prophet's Allah so we have three female companions in this chain now some of the scholars they criticize just one time I'm going to go into this issue some scholars they criticize I'm just going to mention this as a side benefit which is Imam Muslim narrated the same hadith who? Imam Muslim and Muslim narrated it from four people other than Malik Ibn Usma'il Malik Ibn Usma'il is the teacher of who? Imam Bukhari the first man in the chain and he took four other individuals who narrated it and they are أبو بكر ابن أبي شيبة سعيد ابن عمرن زوهير ابن حربن أبو خيثمت زوهير ابن حربن and محمد ابن يحيا ابن أبي عمر these four these four who Muslim chose to narrate from through to سفير ابن عيينة زهوري like that these four they made the female companions four and not free like this chain they placed in between زي نب بنتي أم سلمة and أم حبيبة they increased in between that حبيبة herself the daughter of أم حبيبة who's also what ربيبة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلمة so two young girls who grew up in the prophet's house which is زي نب بنت أم سلمة and حبيبة and two wives of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمة which is أم حبيبة and زي نب بنتي جحشن why did Bukhari avoid those four and take this one the reason is because Bukhari did that because this is the only chain where it's clearly stated that سفياني بن عيينة heard from زهوري because this hadith says حدثنا بن عيينة أنه سمع الزهورية that's why Bukhari wanted to bring this one last benefit that I want to mention from this chain and I won't go into this detail anymore okay don't worry the last benefit I want to mention from this chain is this hadith itself Bukhari narrated it another place at the ending of كتاب الفتن and he narrated it and the senate is to Sa'ee to Sa'ee is how much 9 and that's the longest chain صحيح البخاري Bukhari is the shortest chain between him and the prophet it's how much the shortest 3 the longest is how much 9 and the longest one is which one this one he narrated it as the longest version of it in كتاب الفتن at the ending all of that half of the Mahajar mentions it in فتح الباري زي نب بنتي جحشن is the prophet's wife who is she she is the prophet's wife and she was married previously before that who زي ديبنو زي ديبنو حاري and زي نب بنتي جحشن the prophet's wife married her from a command high above ولي ذلك زي نب used to say to the other wives of the prophet زوجة كن أهلي كن your family married you guys off وزوجة لله الله married me off I mean focus of the semawat from high above we all together so زي نب بنتي جحشن الله stated her story in the Qur'an الله stated her issue in the what in the Qur'an الله mentioned her story in the Qur'an زي نب she said أنها قال إستي قضى رسول نبي صلى الله عليه وسلم the prophet woke up one morning from his sleep محمرن وجه the prophet's face was red عليه الصلاة والسلام his face was محمرن وجه his face was red يقولوا the prophet said لا إله إلا الله there is none worthy of worship except الله ويل للعربي will be to the Arabs من شرد from an evil قاديق ترابق that has come close the prophet is trying to point this out and evil has come close فوتح اليوم من ردم يأجوج ومأجوج مثل هذه ذو القرنين ذو القرنين ذو القرنين ذو القرنين what did he build he built a fortress between us and what ذو القرنين ذو القرنين that fortress between us يأجوج ومأجوج they opened a amount of it are we all together question here did the opening of the يأجوج ومأجوج stop was it still going on is it still opening every time a little bit or is it just at that moment when the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم mentioned it half of them had been the statement of Ibn Batal he said اندر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حديث زي نبأ بقرب قيام الساعة كي يتوبوا قبل أن تهجم عليهم this hadith of زي نبأ the prophet was warning the people and he's warning them the hour is close and what does he want from them كي يتوبوا so they can repent before the hour comes before يأجوج ومأجوج comes وقد ثابتها أن خروج يأجوج ومأجوج قرب قيام الساعة فإذا فتح من ردمهم ذاك القدر في زمان صلى الله عليه وسلم لم يزل الفتح يتسع على مر الأوقات so the opening Ibn Batal is saying it started then and it's becoming bigger and bigger and bigger and the generations have stated that وقد جاء في حديث أبي هريرة رفعه and this has come in the prophet's statement where he said ويل للعرب ويل بي to the Arabs من شر قد قترب and evil has come close موتوا ان استطعتوا die if you guys wish حافظ النحجر and he said that Ibn Batal said وهذا غاية في التحديلي من الفتن والخوظ فيها حيث جعل الموت خير من مباشرتها that death becomes better than this fitna that's going to come to die will become better than coming in contact with this fitna of Yadroud ومأدرود when they come brothers even عيسة بلو مريم who killed the Jal cannot do anything and him and his followers عيسة will be commanded to go into a mountain and to stay there and الله تبارك وتعالى will destroy them so when Yadroud ومأدرود come مفسدون في الأرضي they're going to bring facade facade and corruption is what they're going to bring to the world so what did look what Ibn Batal said before that time comes what is it that is needed from us repentance to turn to Allah the hadith is going to mention all of this to us and I want you to all listen the prophet said Yadroud ومأدرود is opening then the prophet was asked هل نحلق are we going to be destroyed some of the narration state that Zaynaba herself asked the prophet she said are we going to be destroyed when Yadroud ومأدرود come and this corruption and everything comes are we going to be destroyed وفين الصالحون and amongst us are righteous people we have good people amongst us عابدين people who are praying aesthetic people noble people people who fear Allah تبارك وتعالى are we going to be destroyed the prophet said نعم yes إذا كثور الخبث when the evil becomes a lot when the evil becomes large the righteous people's عبادة and their good doing will not change anything it will not what it will not change anything and that's why أبو هوريرا when he was saying اللهم إمي أعوذو بك من رأس الستينة وإمارة الصبيان والله I seek refuge in you before the Islamic calendar become 60 أبو هوريرا وإمارة الصبيان and when the young kids are in control of things in other words he knew that the presence of the righteous people will not do anything the presence of the righteous people it won't do anything it won't do it won't do anything so we need to repent to Allah تبارك وتعالى before this evil comes and those demoted ones are trying to turn away from that path of goodness while we have the ability we should advise them because when the fitna comes brothers and that عذاب comes it is not restricted to the evil wrongdoers it's going to happen to everybody are we all together the Prophet ﷺ he said يا معشرة المهاجرينة خمس خصال إن إذا بتوليتم إذا بتوليتم بهنة وأعوذ بالله أن تدريكوهنة لم تظهر الفحشة في قوم قط the Prophet ﷺ يا معشرة المهاجرينة مهاجرينة خمس خصال إن five things if you are tested with it وأعوذ بالله and I seek refuge in Allah that you meet these five things لم تظهر الفحشة wrongdoing and crimes do not become apparent on the land إلا فشة فيهم الطاعون والأوجاع والأمراض التي لم تكن في أسلافهم الذين مضو that when that wrongdoing and those crimes and those evil become apparent and everyone is doing it الله is going to bring illnesses plague sicknesses التي لم تكن في أسلافهم والذين مضو and those sicknesses will not have been present in the early people they will not have heard of that illness new illnesses AIDS HIV that the early people didn't know of why did it come HIV and AIDS and all of this because people are told stay away from Zina stay away from it don't do it no we want to do it don't do it no we won't do it we want to do it okay do it these illnesses came from it then these illnesses came from it are we all together so the مخالفة and opposing the sharia it has consequences and when those consequences come the prophet said in another hadith لا تأمرون بلمعروف ولا تنهون عن المنكر ولا تأخذون نيد السفيه you're going to command the good and you're going to prohibit the evil and you're going to grab the hand of the dim with it one ولا يُشِكَن الله or it's close لا الله تبارك وتعالى will bring you an adab that will take each and every one of you are you with me it will take everyone so you advise your family members and you talk to it and that's what we have to all start from our own households are we all together brothers our what our own households everybody advises their family members their neighbors everybody does that قال البخاري رحم الله حدثنا أبو نوعيم بخاري said أبو نوعيم who's abu noaim أبو نوعيم فضل منه الدخين he's a teacher by the name of أحمد بن حنبل ya a teacher by the name of أبو نوعيم فضل منه فضل منه الدخين he's named عمر بن حماد بن زهير بن درها من التميمي الملائي الكوفي ثبت حجة أخرج حديثه الجماعة بخاري مسلم أبي داويت أنسائي all of them narrated from him and he's the man that kicked يحيبن المعين on the chest when he tried to test him he got angry with him and أبو نوعيم فضل منه الدخين he kicked يحيبن المعين on the chest and tumbled him off the ground if you don't know the story then look it up إن شاء الله أن الزهري يو محمد بن مسلم بن شهاب الزهري ألمام الزهري أرحم الله وحدثني محمود أن محمود told me who's it بخاري then said here if you just look at it there's a letter حق right? this حق is called التحويل is it not there? وحدثني محمود just before it is a عني الزهري حق right? it doesn't say it? yeah? okay but it says number 2 in Arabic right? that place عني الزهري there it's meant to have a ha on there ha means تحويل moving away to another chain another chain of what? of people who narrated from الزهري here he brought it between الزهري and ألمام البخاري how many people أبو نوعين أبو نوعين أبو نوعين أبو نوعين two people and then الزهري is the third right? then he bought another chain which is وحدثني and I was told بخاري saying this محمود told me أخبرنا عبد الرزاق عبد الرزاق معمر من راشد عني الزهري محمد الشهب الزهري and then بين بخاري here is what? محمود عبد الرزاق معمر 3 بين him and what? so he's trying to say I'll go to الزهري in these two ways عن عروة يعني عروة من الزبير عن أسامة من زيد رضي الله تعالى عنه قال أشرف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم what does أشرف أمين it means صعدة the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he climbed the prophet climbed عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم he climbed اطلع من عروة there was two buildings in Medina and the prophet climbed the top of the building عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم على أطو من من أعطا من Medina أطو is a what حسنون a fortress he climbed the top of the fortress عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم and then when he stood at the top of the building high place the prophet عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم he said to the companions إني أرى الفتن he looked at the mid city of Medina he's in Medina the prophet looked at the city of Medina like that and he said I can see the fitن I can see the fitن أرى الفتن خلال بيوتكم كما واقع القطر some of the why I'd say here he says كواقع القطري I see the fitن going into your household like the rain when it comes it goes everywhere the fitن is going to go everywhere and why I see the fitن going into your household like the rain when it comes it goes everywhere and why did the prophet restrict Medina in the mentioning of here why the reason is because the whole entire fitن started from what it all started from the the noble companion أرثمان when he was killed and where was أرثمان killed in the city of Medina that's where he was killed أرثمان was murdered in Medina cold blood he was killed أرثمان was he was put in a fortress for days he couldn't leave his own house أرثمان رضي الله عنه he couldn't leave and he stayed there عليه الصلاة والسلام رضي الله تعالى عنه and when he stayed there for a period of time some of the companions they came to help him like علينا بالطالب علي came and said I'm here and then أرثمان رضي الله تعالى عنه he said to علي do you do I have obedience on you do you still listen and obey me and علي said of course you are أمير المؤمنين you're the leader of the believers he said if you listen to me and you obey me and you consider me أمير المؤمنين I instruct and I command you to leave my building and put your sword away and don't touch anyone I don't want anyone to defend me and so عليم I have your طالب left and أرثمان رضي الله عنه stayed in his house and the people rebelled against him they first of all started by protesting that's where he started from protest is what got rid of أرثمان رضي الله تعالى عنه do you see and أرثمان رضي الله عنه what happened to him he stayed in his house and he was fasting that day they killed a man who was promised jannah and life while he was walking on this earth he knew who was going to enter jannah أرثمان knew he was going to go to jannah the Prophet ﷺ said أبو بكر في الجنة وعمر في الجنة وعثمان في الجنة وعلي في الجنة he named him أرثمان عفان by name أرثمان married the Prophet's two daughters and he earned a title called ذنوري two of the Prophet's daughters one died and then the Prophet married him the second one أرثمان رضي الله عنه and that day أرثمان died he was fasting and that day he was reading his Qur'an and they killed him that's where the fitness started from when that fitness started ثم انتشرت الفتن في البلاد بعد ذلك حافظ المحجر and he said that the fitness didn't stop because that's when the fit because of this عليان معاوية فوت it is because of this عليان معاوية فوت are we all together عليبنا بيطالب we are telling معاوية let's calm everyone down now أرثمان just got killed عليوه saying let things cool down معاوية was saying no the people who killed أرثمان are not allowed to walk around and roam around the cities free from anything I am أرثمان's relative I am his cousin and Allah says in the Qur'an وَمَنْ قُوْتِنَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدِ جَعَلْنَا لِي وَرِيهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلَ يُسْلِفِ الْقَطْلِ if someone is killed wrongly which is what happened to عثمان it was killed wrongly وَمَنْ قُوْتِنَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدِ جَعَلْنَا لِي وَلِيهِ we have made his people معاوية is that I mean his people Allah is saying to me here if someone is killed his family members are the one in charge of getting the blood money and getting these people to court and then عليبنا بيطالب he said listen if we now go after those people those are the same people who had the audacity to kill علي معاوثمان they are in not enough position of weakness now let's calm things down and then we will go for them معاوية responded and he said I am in this position of power how? because معاوية was a what? a governor of sham معاوية was the governor of sham and the people of sham will take a bullet from معاوية that's how much they love him and they admire him are we all together? which علي didn't have علي never had people who listened and obeyed him like معاوية did that people were submissive to him and do as he told them to do are we all together? so he said if you can't do it send them over to me I will deal with them and then عليبنا بيطالب he said who is Amirul Mu'minin are you a governor or the leader of the Muslims and then he a fitna happened so the fitna when the prophet stood up when the prophet ﷺ stood on اطم من أطام المدينة that high building and then he was saying I see the fitna he was talking about this that's going to start from مدينة and that's going to go all over the world are we all together? and then what happened to that fitna? that fitna went to كوفا العراق all of those lands and then after that المعركة النهروان between the خوارج عليبنا بيطالب which was قضية التحكيم which was a result of the issue of عثمان رضي الله عنو so everything that happened after the bloodshed was the prophet ﷺ his prophecy in saying that I can see the fitna now this really teaches us a very big lesson brothers is that you may be little a fitna that's going to start and say well this is it but it's going to be blood عثمان came to thousands thousands thousands of noble people died thousands of people died are we all together in that fight that took place between عليبنا بيطالب and معاوية بيسوفيان are we all together brothers if that happened at the time of noble people اهلو خيرين وصلاح people of righteousness people of nobility فما بألوك بغيرهم who do you think of other than them are we all together brothers it's this time brothers you need to be very cautious of what we say what we promote what we retweet what we say things that can lead to fitna and you might just be staying at home and you've just said one word and it's caused chaos in somewhere else either it can be someone's household or it can even be a country and bloodshed took place because of what you said are we all together brothers yeah so be careful stay away from فتن the prophet this is what he's trying to nurture his companions on he's trying to nurture them upon what to stay away from this to be cautious of these fitna and to not fall fall into it and there's something I do want to mention the fitna brothers is calamities and hardship that I mentioned before but what about if a person is not through trials and tribulations الله never tests you you never get sickness you're always healthy there's a hadith that came regarding that there was a man this hadith might shock some of you guys but this hadith is authentic ألمان محمد narrated in بخاري narrated in أدب المفرد وان الحاكم narrated in his مستدرك بيهقل narrated in حديث أبي هريرا الهيثمي he considered it to be صحيح شق الالباني شق مقبلي بنهادي الوالدعي great scholars authenticated this hadith this hadith is a bedouin man entered onto the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم one day and then he said to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when he entered he came to the prophet the bedouin man and he stood next to the prophet and then the prophet said to him أخذتك أمو ملدما have you ever been afflicted with fever have you ever been afflicted with fever قال then this man said what is fever he said أمو ملدما what is this what's fever and then the prophet said حرن يقول بين الجلد واللحم it brings your temperature up and makes you sick قال ما وجدت هذا قط he said I never ever got a fever قال هل أخذك السدع قط have you ever had a headache in your life قال وما السدع he said what is headache the prophet said عروق تضرب على الإنسان في رأسه it is what a vein causes a person to feel sick and have a headache قال he said ما وجدت هذا قط that has never happened to me فلما والله when the man stood up and he walked away the prophet then said من أحب أن ينظر إلى رجل من أهل النارف أن ينظر إلى هذا the prophet said if anyone wants to look at a man from the people of the house fire let me look at that man anyone who wants to look at a man from the people of the house fire let him look at what this man وذلك جمهرت من أهل العلم a large quantity of scholars they took from it that is not a good sign when you are never afflicted with calamities or hardship and you are always healthy because it is a form of what expiation for your sins to go and it is also to raise your station that does not mean you have never been sick make me sick now you don't ask for it you don't ask for it but some of the Salaf they used to what they used to ask الله تعالى to give them health when they didn't get sick they used to get worried they used to what when they used to get worried because they used to see it as the good has been hastened for them in this world all the good has what has been brought for you the non-Muslim because he he's done maybe good in this world the non-Muslim Allah is not oppressive so Allah gives him the good that he did in this dunya Allah gives it to him in this dunya but nothing for him in the Akhira يقفر بالرحمان لبويتهم سقفا من فضا وما عارج عليها يظهرون وليبويتهم أبواب وصرورا عليها يتكيون وزخرفا وإن كل ذلك لما متاعوا الحياة الدنيا والآخرة عند ربك للمتقين آخرة is only for the believers so some people they get whatever they do good Allah gives it to them in this dunya but then they come the day of judgment وبدالهم إن الله ما لم يقون يحتسبون the day of judgment they see what they were not expecting but they will not expect them but Allah will not make us from those people وما نأخذ من هذه الحديث is the importance of knowledge of the fitna because look at the process I said I'm stood up on the top of a building and he looked at the fitna and he said I can see the fitna the prophet mentioned many of those fitna he stated many of those fitna and the fitna as we're going to see later one of its signs is when knowledge decreases the people have no knowledge they don't understand the ignorance is the illness brothers some people are walking around and they are sick but they don't realize that's why the prophet said إن الله لا يقبض العلم ينتزع من سرور الرجال ولكن يقبض العلم بقبض العلمة حتى إذا لم يبقى عالم اتخذ الناس رؤوس فسئلوا فأفتوا بغير العلم فضلوا أضلوا that Allah does not take knowledge أولا once but Allah takes those who have knowledge فأفتوا بغير العلم فضلوا أضلوا but Allah takes those who have knowledge حتى إذا لم يبقى علمة until there is no person of knowledge left إتخذ الناس رؤوس جهالة the people they appoint ignorant people they make them the reference point فسئلوا those ignorant ones are asked فأفتوا بغير العلم and they give fatwa with no knowledge فضلوا they misguide themselves وقضلوا and they misguide others they misguide themselves and they misguide others imagine my beloved brothers and sisters الإمام ممالك الإمام وداري الهجراء was asked 40 questions 40 questions were put to him 33 of those questions and with 34 of those questions he said لا أدري who are we talking about الإمام ممالك الإمام وداري الهجراء he said لا أدري عبدالله من عمرين أمان came up to him and he asked him a question عبدالله من عمر عبدالله من عمرين he said لا أدري I don't know Allah and the man said to him you you the son of عمر من الخطاب you don't know عبدالله من عمرين he said لا أدري الله وعلم this shows you that just because someone makes you feel like you've been studying for this long why don't you know it the poet he said the scholars they mentioned or the poet he said all of the scholars they used لا أدري as their shield if someone throws an arrow at you what do you use use a shield right the fatwa that you're being asked is an arrow are we all together if you don't answer it properly it can hit you in the wrong place so what do you do you got your shield so the person who misses out and doesn't use لا أدري أصيبة مقاتله the arrow is going to hit him is going to kill him so what we need to understand is that we need to take issues back to people of knowledge but the people of knowledge that we take it back to they have two characteristics write this down as the poet he said the person that you taking the issue back to and you're asking the fatwa for is he combines between knowledge and piety he is a pious individual and he also has knowledge what about if you have two people and they're both knowledgeable and they have piety and they give a fatwa in an issue that are opposing to each other one says right and the other one says left and they both have in accordance to your knowledge they have they have they have knowledge and they both seem the same to you what do you do in a situation like that then find a third one who has knowledge and piety and then take the one whose opinion he who he strengthens are we all together that's what it shocked me that even that even was asked a question and he didn't know the answer to it and then he chose not to answer it who the Prophet in the famous he divided the horse into three types people own horses for three reasons the Prophet mentioned and you can go there and find it in and then a man say to the Prophet what about a donkey because he had a donkey he wanted to know you spoke about the horse what about the donkey then the Prophet said Allah hasn't sent me sent on me anything regarding that a question you asked me who said that maybe Allah Muhammad said I have no answer for the question you asked me Allah hasn't sent me anything regarding it but I'm going to give you a general idea that can inshallah encompass all of that which is what he said what he said و من يعمل مِتقال ذَرَةِ ش groundwater و من يعمل مِتقال ذَرَةِ خَيْرَ يَرَa و من يعمل مِتقال و من يعمل مِتقال خَيْرَيَرَة و من يعمل مِتقال ذَرَةِ خَيْرَيَرَة و من يعمل مِتقال شَرَّيَرَة ما ده the ayak encompassed the fatwa the process in general but at the beginning he said Allah hasn't sent me anything regarding it Allah hasn't sent me what أي شيء يجب أن نفهمه لذا ما يجب أن نفهمه هو لا تقفوا ما ليس لك بيعلم إن السمعة والبصر والفؤاد كل أولئك كان عنه مسؤولة لا تقول ما لديك المعرفة ومن الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول ولا تقولوا لما تصفوا ألسنا تكون الكذب هذا حلالهم وهذا حرام لتفتروا على الله الكذب إن الذين يفترون على الله الكذب لا يفلحون بعض الناس يفعلون ذلك حلال, حرام وهم لديهم المعرفة يجب أن يقوم إلىdd بعض نسخ في نّه sweetness هل تسأل إلى هذا ال هل نعمل أم لا؟ هل نعمل أمان؟ هل هم seriously هل نعمل أمان؟ هل أمان؟ هل نعمل أمان؟ هل أنت نعمل إذا كنت تحطن؟ ويمكنك أن تظن على whether they are حلالة وحرام like for instance issues which are generally a general ruling for everybody which is ظهر is for raka'a You can look it up online and the evidence for that And أسر is for raka'a You can look up that online in sha Allah But there are issues that you have Regarding your I was angry and I divorced my wife The كل الشخ Don't look at the FETAW online Because the sheikh might hear from your situation Something that may change the whole entire FETAW Does that make sense? And that's why Allah Almighty commanded us in the Qur'an فسألوا أهل ديك لإن كنتم لا تعلمون Ask the people of what? Ask the people of knowledge Go back to them And ask them So brothers The messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم are climbing that high building And him talking about the FETAW happening If you want to know, go to the FETAW And you understand it Read the Hadith of the Prophet Rather, الشيخو الإسلامي منو تيمس said something very powerful He said The Rulama The people of knowledge يعرفون الفتن They know the FETAW قبل it happened When it's about to happen They say people, be careful, this is a FETAW It's going to come, it's going to destroy us And the people Some choose to listen And some choose not to listen And then the FETAW happens He says, الشيخو الإسلام The general mass They only realized that they were in a FETAW Not whilst they're in it But once it's gone And it's turned, it's back And the FETAW has left They say you know what إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْ رَجِعُونَ We were in a FETAW all along That's what they say They only realized that when it's gone And it's turned, it's back on them So علم, brothers قال الإمام البخاري رحمه الله باب ظهور الفتن قال حدثنا عياش ابن الوريد قال أخبرنا عبد الأعلى قال حدثنا معمر اللها يبكروا الله ابن موسى علل ع任ش عن شقيق قال كنت مع عبد الله وابي موسى قال النبيه صلى الله عليه وسلم إن مين يدي الساعات لقيايما ينزيل فيها الجهل يرفع فيها العلم يكتر فيها الهرج قال حدثنا أبي قال حدثنا سعابديلله وابو موسى فتحدثها قال傳 العبود وينزل فيها الجهل ويكثر فيها الهرج والهرج القتل. قال حدثنا قتيبة قال حدثنا جرير عن العمش عن بوائل قال إن لجالس مع عبد الله وبموسى ربي الله عنهما. فقال أبو موسى سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مثله والهرج بالسان الحباشة القتل. قال حدثنا محمد قال حدثنا غندر قال حدثنا شعبة عن واصل عن بوائل عن عبد الله وحسبه رفع قال بين يدي ساعة أيام الهرج يزول العلم ويظهر فيها الجهل. بين يدي ساعة أيام الهرج يزول العلم ويظهر فيها الجهل. قال أبو موسى والهرج القتل بالسان الحباشة. وقال أبو عوانت عن عاصم عن بوائل عن الاشعر أنه قال لعبد الله. وقال أبو عوانت عن عاصم عن بوائل عن الاشعر أنه قال لعبد الله. تعلم الأيام التي ذكر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أيام الهرج نحوه. قال ابن مسعود. قال ابن مسعود سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول من شرار الناس من تدركهم الساعة وهم أحياء. الامام البقاريو هي سيز بابو ظهور الفتن. The fitn becoming apparent and becoming clear. أن الامام البقاريو رحمه الله هي سيز حدثنا عيش ابن الوليد البصري رحمه الله. قال حدثنا عبد الاعلى يعني عبد الاعلى الساميح حدثنا معمر وهو ابن راشد. عني زهري عن سعيد وهو ابن المسيبي. سعيد هي سعيد ابن المسيبي عن ابيه هريرا طربي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم. يا تقارب الزمان. What does it mean يا تقارب الزمان? This is a question. The time will become close. But the time will pass rapidly. What does that mean? The time will pass rapidly. There are more than 20 views regarding that. يا تقارب الزمان. 20 قولين. 20 views what it means يا تقارب الزمان. What the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and meant by it. I'm going to mention the two strongest opinions regarding يا تقارب الزمان. I'm going to mention the first opinion which is يا تقارب الزمان. It means يا تقارب أهل الزمان. The people of that time are going to be the same. The scholars are going to be the same. The people of knowledge, there isn't going to be a person who's higher than another. They're all going to be equally equivalent to one another. يا تقارب الزمان. يا يعني يا تقارب أهل الزمان. This is the call of ابن البطال. ابن حجر brings it in his كتب فتح الماري. He says قال ابن ضطال ليس في هذا الحديث ما يحتاج إلى تفسير غير قوله يتقارب الزمان ومعنه. والله وعلم تقارب أهل أهوالي أهل في قلة الدين حتى لا يكون فيه من يأمر بمعروف ولا ينهع من كرن غلبة الفسق وظهر أهله. وقد جاء في الحديث لا يزال الناس بخير ما تفاضل فإذا تساوا هلكوا. يعني لا يزالون بخير ما كان فيهم أهل الفضل وصلاح. وخوف من الله يلجأوا إليهم عند الشدائد ويستثنى بأراءهم ويوترقوا بدعائهم ويؤخذوا بتقويتهم ويؤخذوا بتقويهم وآثارهم. ابن البطال رحمه الله يقوم بفتح الماري that one of the signs of the hour that the Hadith is referring to is when the people become the same and they become equal in knowledge. This unity was very far. People went to Sham, Sheqalban would tell them something, they went to مبلكة العربية سعودة من الباب. They were saying the same thing, they went to Rinaiza to Sheqalban, who would say the same thing. بما علا the people were united. Are we all together brothers? When they died, the فرق and the caliph was so large. So large it was apparent after the death of these great imams. them. when the people become the same in knowledge. When that become equal to each other in knowledge they becomes a problem because they become a Quran contemporaries and all they do is digovah each other. you see. but when the seniors are present and the people are not the same then it's.. what did that come you see in countries like western countries? where other are people who are given given دعواء because there is no higher level of the people to go back to الثلاثة الو destined ثم ا Meredithين من اي studies ان يوتر exists رربو الثمن أي belongs اهذا bene هل مارد يتضغع갑ن الهوية فم الهوى اهذاب هذا اعت الخارج اتجر احافي ع هاتف و يقولوا جمعة كاليومي و يقولوا اليومك الساعة و تقولوا الساعة كضمرتي بالنالي الوقت لا يأتي حتى الوقت تصميم meaning that time loses its barakah what does it lose? the barakah the person has 24 hours like the early people have 24 hours but he can't produce the things that they produced the barakah is taken from the time و لذلك it shocks if you look at the biography of some scholars like اليمام الشافعي اليمام الشافعي was only 53 years old when he died imagine the great imam and imam الشافعي that's followed he died was only 53 years old that's young right? very young اليمام النووي when you go to every house رياض الصالحين is there اربعون النووية الانذكار he died when he was 45 and we all together brothers 45 years of age how did he do all of that in that time in his lifespan شرح صحيح مسلم شرح المهدب بس حاك الشي يرازي كهي كتابا اليرشاد شرح بوكر ياض الصالحين اربعون النووية how did he do all of this الانذكار how did he write all of his works and he's only 45 باركة باركة in a time و لذلك there's a hadith of the prophet و he said من سره أن يبصط له في رسقي anyone who wants Allah to open his provision for him if you want Allah to give you risk و يُلشأ له في أجله and Allah to lengthen your lifespan for you فليصل رحمة keep the ties of kinship keep the what? the ties of kinship two things the hadith mentioned if you want Allah to give you risk and if you want Allah to give you a long life keep the ties of kinship know about your family and their well-being and how they are and what they're doing do that the scholars they differed amongst themselves what does it mean that Allah will lengthen the lifespan of that person does it mean حقيقة معنوية does it literally mean I was going to live for 40 years and it gets pushed to 60 years is that what it means or does it mean that my 40 years is going to feel like 60 years does that make sense the scholars they have their opinion some of the scholars they believe it's حقيقة that Allah is going to increase you on your lifespan to keep your ties of kinship and some scholars they believe الله قبارك في your time and it will feel like even though you lived for a very short time but you will be able to achieve what a person who's lived maybe double your life has achieved و هو الأقرب and that seems to be closest in that way that seems to be closest so from the signs of the hour is time finishing سبحان الله it was just recently when we were when we entered 2019 right and here it is as well 2020 you know when I realized that سبحان الله it's coming to an end when I was walking and someone came up to me and said to me uncle how are you doing they called me uncle I was like whoa I remember yesterday when I was very young times coming to an end and that's why Allah says in the Quran أولم نعمرك ما يتذكر فيه من تذكر وجاءكم الندير الله says have we not given you a time for you to live أولم نعمرك we gave you a lifespan that you can think and you can ponder يتذكر فيه من تذكر وجاءكم الندير and the wound I came to you some of the scholars they said المونة here is white hair عبد الهبسة that وجاءكم الندير يعني shape I have one over here I think it's stress it's nothing to do with age don't worry but that's the truth it's the reality we are being reminded that our time is coming to an end you see recently I don't want to mention the names but someone died and everyone was talking about it on social media at a very young age wasn't preparing for it مفاجأة I definitely didn't know he was going to die at that moment like in this is the reality every single day everyone's getting closer to their grave every day you grow older and your life goes by one year it's actually you getting closer to your what you're getting closer to your grave and that is and because time is like that we need to benefit from it every day are we all together we need to what the Prophet ﷺ said in a hadith and I sometimes see people because they're driving you've got a car or you're on a riding you're on a public transport or you're on a plane benefit from your time can also be just doing the car sitting in a car just do your the car what's your driving go a stitch the Prophet ﷺ said in a hadith very light on the tongue very heavy on the scale very beloved very beloved to Allah سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم the Prophet ﷺ said in a hadith من قال في اليوم مئة مرة سبحان الله وبحمده غفرت ذنوبه وإن كانت مثل زبد البحر وإن كانت مثل زبد البحر وإن كانت مثل زبد البحر وإن كانت مثل زبد البحر anyone who says سبحان الله وبحمده 100 times a day الله will forgive you your sins even if it's a lot even if it's as large as the ocean the sins that you came with I will together but is it heavy to say سبحان الله وبحمده 100 times a day and all of your sins will be forgiven however large they are however large the sins that you've done is so you can be benefitting from your time وذلك when the man came to the Prophet ﷺ إن شرائع الإسام قد كثرت فأخبرني بشيء أتشبت بي the legislation has become too much on me because a simple man came to the Prophet ﷺ I don't know all of this and all of this knowledge is too much for me I'm a simple man إن شرائع الإسام قد كثرت the legislation of the religion are too much now I don't know all of this فأخبرني بشيء إن tell me something something فأخبرني بشيء إن أتشبت بي just tell me one thing I can hold on to the Prophet ﷺ looked at him لا يزالوا الإسان قرطبا من بكر الله do not let your tongue drive from the remembrance of Allah your tongue do not let it drive from the remembrance of Allah the Prophet ﷺ came to Mu'ad when he said Mu'ad I love you the Prophet ﷺ is saying this to who? Mu'ad Mu'ad والله إني لو أحبك فلا تدعمنا do not leave off أن تقول في يدوري كل الصلاة at the ending of every Salah to say اللهم أعيني على ذكرك وشكرك وحسنة عبادتك don't I love you don't leave this off so the person should always just remember Allah it's something very and you know what's amazing I remember كتب الصحاح they narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said عبادة at the time of killing the times of fitna عبادة at that time is like doing hijra to me the Prophet ﷺ said that عبادة at the times of fitna يعني ذكروا just do it again remembering Allah when everybody is on social media what happened how many people died you leave off all of that and you do ذكر and you do عبادة and you do this off with getting closer to Allah كهجرة it's like doing hijra to me you see يتقارب الزمان the Prophet ﷺ said at the time the barakah is taken from it وينقص العمل and the actions reduce and another rivayat says وينقص العلم does he also say knowledge this one just says actions some of the rivayat mentions وينقص العلم the knowledge reduces وينقص العمل وينقص العلم ويلقش رق and the people are going to be what they are going to be stingy they are going to be what stingy that's what's going to happen وتضح بحارل فتن and the fitna starts to happen starts to take place it becomes a parent بحر الفساد في البرل والبحر بما كسبت ايدي الناس the fitna becomes a parent on this earth ويكثر الحرج and killing increases the death becomes what the death toll becomes what it becomes too much nowadays if you look at the internet and you see what's taking place and the people who are dying it's now reached a point where if you hear someone dying it's like yeah you become desensitized to it and the Prophet ﷺ one day he came to the Ka'ba and he said to the Ka'ba what is greater than you what is better than you meaning how great you are إلا دموا بروي المسلمين except the blood of a believer it's better than you in another حالية the Prophet ﷺ he said لزوار الدنيا the destruction of this entire world لزوار الدنيا أهوانو عند الله من قتل مروي المسلمين the destruction of this entire world is lighter to Allah than the blood of a believer the entire world today if someone was to go and attack the Ka'ba how would all the Muslims feel yeah the blood of a believer is more sacred to Allah than the Ka'ba the blood of a what of a believer it's so sacred to him what's going to happen is the killing is it becomes a lot قالوا يا رسول الله اي يوم هو so they asked the Prophet what is al-harj and the Prophet ﷺ al-harj is what killing killing that's what it is here it's اعتراض حافظ المحجر brings it to the body which is al-harj is an Arabic word because in the rivayat he mentions that it's a كلمة حبشية right حافظ المحجر argues that the word al-harj is a كلمة it's a word فصيحة في لغة العرب it's an Arabic word and it means when things mix that's what it means لكن حبشي واد حبشي language the word ال-harj means قتل مباشاة لكن in the Arabic language it means الاختلاط و الاختلاف وهو and it is تسمية الشيء إلى ما يقول إليه it is maybe something to what it's going to lead to because when people have اختلاف and they argue one another then it leads to killing and fighting and bloodshed so it is an Arabic word it just doesn't mean killing it means مقدمة the beginning of what leads to killing does that make sense the reason why حافظ المحجر is arguing like that is because أبو موسى الأشعري is the one who said that it's an Arabic word as we see in the narration here أبو موسى الأشعري he mentions that the word ال-harj it means مختلف في الصغير المشكر في مختلف正 come a ينزل عقش نقع عق tough على يقفرENCE ؚ Ariana أسان a نفع go ارد و العلم يذهب ، الناس سوف يقتلوا أحد أحد سوف يقتلوا أحد و سوف يكتلوا الآن الحديث لم يقول و يقعوا الحرج و يكتلوا أحد لأن يكتلوا أحد في الوقت من الناس who are most knowledgeable صح؟ و يكثلوا فيها الحرج و يكتلوا أحد و سيكون ماذا؟ سيكون الكثير و سيكون الكثير when the knowledge decreases and ignorance prevails when ignorance prevails and becomes seen حدثنا عمر بن حفس حدثنا أبي حدثنا الأعمش و حدثنا الشقيق و قال جلس عبد الله عبد الله is عبد الله من المسعود و أبو موسى يعني أبو موسى الأشعري ف حدثا they both said إن بين يدي ساعة أيام يرفعوا فيها العلم و ينزلوا فيها الجهل و يقتلوا فيها الهرج والهرج القتلوا قال حدثنا قتيبة بقاري سيز حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد قال حدثنا جليل يعني بن عبد الحميد عن الأعمش يعني سليمان ابن مهران عن أبي وائل شقيق بن أبي وائل قال إن لجالس مع عبد الله و أبي موسى ربي الله عنهما ف قال أبو موسى سمعت النبي I heard the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying like that meaning say to عبد الله من المسعود I heard from the prophet I also heard from him قال حدثنا محمد بقاري سيز حدثنا محمد أن محمد هي إيز ابن بشار قال حدثنا غندر أن غندر هي إيز محمد من جعفر الهدري قال حدثنا شعبة شعبة إيز أبو بصطام العتكي أبو بصطام العتكي شعبة من حجاج أبو بصطام العتكي قال هي سن عن واصل وهو ابن حيان الأحدة عن أبي وائل عن عبد الله و أحسيبه رفعه قال بيلة يهدي ساعة أيام before the hour there are going to come days of killing bloodshed يزول العلم and knowledge will be removed there won't be much knowledge و يظهر فيها الجهل an ignorant becomes a parent all of this is so a parent what the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم وقال أبو عوانة عن عاصمن by the way this حديث بقاري didn't bring it with his senate okay he didn't bring his senate the reason why he didn't is because in the chain of this حديث is عاصم ابن أبي نجود عاصم أبي نجود is not what شعبة and hafs who did they narrate from عاصم بقاري right عاصم even though he's a hujja in the Quran he's بعيف in حديث he's what حديث is not taken from him he's weak in حديث the preschool is the حديث is not taken so بقاري because of that he didn't want to narrate it with a chain with a chain and these benefits are something else that we can take from this which is Allah may make you a scholar in one thing but maybe not in another thing صح عاصم what was the Quran generally the Quran that we prayed مغرب with the Salah that we prayed with right now was what hafs right hafs narrate from who عاصم شعبة narrate from who عاصم right so we perhaps and عاصم that's what we read عاصم is a hujja in the Quran he's a proof if you say عاصم said that's it you don't have to be evidence for it the evidence is the fact that you said he said it but he's in حديث what بعيف he's what in حديث بعيف why the school of حديث have a different set of criteria there's a lot of other things that are taken into consideration this shows us that الله might open for you within the religion of الإسلام a chapter you might like something within the dean and you're good at it and you know you love it you have passion for it you're most likely going to do better in that than trying to do what everything but it's good to have knowledge of everything عبو عبيت قاسم للسلام he said عبو عبيت قاسم للسلام said I never debated a متفنن متفنن is a person who puts his leg in everything إلا غلب to except I beat him in the debate and I've never debated a متخصص a person who's specialized in one thing except that he beats me all the time because he only stuck to what he knows صح so it's always important to just give yourself something that you have a deep understanding of so بخارد رحم الله he didn't narrate it with the chain وقال لي عبد الله تعلم تعلم الأيام اللي تذكر النبي سعس أم أيام الهرجين وقال من المسعود سمعت النبي إنه حديث سوف نتقل امرن بدأن سراري من الهئلةون إذا كنت فعلوا هم أيام الذين يجب أن يحدث علىوهم وغامتهم إذا حقق قيامة وغامتك سوف يشكل في حدث هذا حدث يثق أن قيامة سيحدث علىوو أو Chocolate إلى الهئلة وطار أنه سيحدث للشخص ماذا نفعل هنا؟ مع حديث جديد من الله صلى الله عليه وسلم و قال لا تزالوا طائفة من أمتي ظاهرين على الحق حتى تقوم الساعة أن هناك always going to be a group of people who are apparent on the truth until the hour comes and this hadith is saying the only people are going to be remaining when the hour comes are the evil people rather in another hadith of Prophet Muhammad he said لا تقوم الساعة the hour will not come على أحد يقول الله الله the hour will not come and the word Allah is known the name Allah no one is saying it it's gone, no one knows what Allah is to the extent that some of the narrations mentioned a man will be sent to him Allah and he will say I heard that from somewhere رواية تابط صحيحة that the people are going to say I heard Allah from somewhere that knowledge is going to go that low these are evil people that are left are we all together? how do we reconcile that with the hadith that says there's always going to be people who are apparent on the truth لا يضر من خضلهم ولا من خالفهم حتى يأتي أم الله حتى تقوم الساعة some of the narrations said until the hour comes how do you reconcile between them حفظ من حجر says والجبع بينه وبين حديث لا تزال طائفة حبل الغاية في حديث لا تزال طائفة على وقت الهبوط الريح الطيبة التي تقضض الروحة كل مؤمن ومسلم فلا يبقى إلا شراره فتهجوم الساعة عليه بغتة فما سيتبين بعد قليل ابن حجر says it's easy the righteous people are going to stay and they're going to go they're going to go when the wind comes there's going to come a wind and the righteous people the wind that's going to take them when that wind comes that's the hour for those righteous people and then the evil people are going to remain until the blowing of the trumpet are we all together فإذا نفخ في الصور فسعق من في سماوات والأرض إلا من شاء الله ثم نفخ فيه أخرى فإذاهم قياموا ينورون the trumpet is blown twice the first time the ones who are alive they're going to die and the second time it is blown those who are dead are going to resurrect صح so the first time when it gets blown the people who is going to be blown on are evil people شراره خلق الله the worst of people are going to be that day and then what's the problem with these people brothers what's the fitna that they have الجهل they have no knowledge they stop seeking knowledge they stop learning they left their dean and put it to the side and they went to their businesses and their jobs fitna


What's going on, guys? Rudlinal here, coming back at you with another Python tutorial. Welcome to your 30th tutorial. Actually, give yourself a pat on the back for coming so far. And now remember we've been taking a little bit of an adventure in the world of OOP, or Object-Oriented Programming. And Object-Oriented Programming is that sort of paradigm or that mindset where you're using objects or instances in your code. And these instances are sort of like machines. They can do things like functions, they have methods and that sort of thing. They contain qualities, attributes and properties, like variables and that sort of thing. Now the thing is because you're able to make multiple of these things, like so you have instances, like if you want to have like five enemies for a game, you have the option to do something called inheritance. Now inheritance is when you have multiple classes and some of which have derived characteristics from the original. And you can sort of picture this with like parents and children. Children could have all or some of those traits that are inherited. And obviously in the program, of course, you can change some of these if you want to. In those scenarios though, the parent class is considered the super class like it's above, like that Latin root soup. And then while the child class is below, it's considered the subclass or underneath. So let's give it a go. Let's open up Idle and I'll show you what we're going to roll with today. Drag this over here, create a new program, save this as a file.python, overwrite it, user, user, bin, environment, Python. And let's get started. I'm going to create a class first of all just because we want it to. And this is going to be a plain regular class, but this is going to be the mother. So we can set mother to be equal. And we're going to give her a constructor, define, initializing. We need that self keyword as always because it's a function inside there. And I'm actually not going to pass any more arguments other than that. We'll create all the variables inside the code block. So now her first name, we can have it be Alice or something. It doesn't really matter. And then her last name will be Hawkins.  But obviously, we don't want all the children to have the name Alice. So we want to create a new function where you can set the first name. And then we'll change the parameter in here, name to be set to. So this can be a string variable and we can just set the name to be that. Now that we have that code block going, we can set self. Oh, we should change the last name before I forget that self last name is going to be Hawkins. And now self.firstName can equal what we set the name to be. Name to be set to. There you go. Okay. So now let's create Alice. Alice is the mother. What I'm going to do here quickly is create a full name. And we can change that to self.firstName. And we can concatenate a space under there and then concatenate her last name. I can create a new function to say hello. Just so we have a little bit of output. And we can just display self.fullName says hello. Okay. So now we have Alice, which is the mother. If we print this, if we run this, we don't get any output though. But if we do Alice.sayHello, we can get some output there. And it's going to display Alice Hawkins says hello. Alice Hawkins says hello because we've set up Alice is the first name. Hawkins is the last name. The full name is both of these together. And then when we say hello, we just display that along with saying hello. So let's get ourselves a class that is going to be our child. Our child class, I'm just going to call it child. And the syntax for inheritance is just two parentheses after the class name. And then the class that you're inheriting from inside those parentheses. So let's finish up that code block. And now everything that the mother has set is going to be set up as the child. So we can set his first, we're going to be able to use this set first name to be this one here. But the child has an as an interesting function. We're going to change him to have a get married function self and then a whole other child object. Actually, we'll change it to a soulmate object. Now, let's change the soulmate. Actually self dot last name can be soulmates dot last name. So now what we can do Bob equals a child. And he's not going to have any parameters because there aren't any in mother. Except for the moment Bob's name is Alice. And that's just a little weird. Let's change it to, first of all, let's have him say hello so we get introduced to Bob. Alice Hawkins says hello. That doesn't make any sense though. It's Bob. So we want to change Bob's name. So we can use our function that we defined set first name and have him become Bob. It's Bob Hawkins. Oh, we run this. Set first name to be named to be set to. Is that working for us? No. Oh, I see, I see. Because we aren't changing the full name inside set first name. This is a good example. This is something that we should be considering. Because we're using that full name in the say hello function, we have to be able to differentiate between the full name and the first name. If we change that first name, we're also going to want to change the full name along with it. Let's make this a little bit bigger here so you guys can see what we're doing. And let's run the program again. Alice Hawkins says hello. And then Bob Hawkins, her son, in this scenario, says hello. Except in the child class, we aren't defining the constructor. We aren't defining the say hello or the set first name. All of these are already inherited by the child. In this case, Bob. So now let's create a new one. Let's set soulmate. And now this can be self, first of all. Actually, no, we don't want to have it inherit anything. I was getting ahead of myself and thinking about the constructor. Inside the constructor, we're going to want, obviously to have the self keyword, we're going to want the name. And that's all. Actually, we want first name and last name. So now we'll close that code block and self.firstName equals firstName. And then self.lastName can be equal to lastName. So now let's say... Okay, so we've got our new person here. We've got a soulmate going along. So let's set alley. Alley can be our soulmate. And alley can be alley. And her last name can be how about dearing. Alley dearing. And let's have her be able to say hello as well. So we're just going to copy this function and put it in here because we don't want her to be able to inherit anything because she's a completely different sort of person. So Bob says hi. And now Alley's going to say hello as well. So we run this. Soulmate has no attribute full name. Oh, good. We're going to want to be able to change this as well. So when we have that first name and the last name, we're going to build a full name along with it. Alley dearing says hello. Okay, cool. So now we can do a whole new thing with Bob because Bob has this option to be able to get married. That's inside of his class. It's inside of his framework or his blueprint. So we can get married to a soulmate, which in our case can be an object. So we're going to pass in alley to the get married function. Bob is going to get married to alley. Now when we run this, nothing else is going to happen but Bob's last name has suddenly become, let's see, Alley's last name. So in our case, Bob is now dearing. Actually, Alley should be the one getting married so we should probably be changing around our names here. But hey, we can do that when we're done. So Bob is going to say hello. If we run this, Bob Hawkins says hello. But let's see here. Self.lastname is equal to last name and we want to change the full name along with that. So that's an easy thing to forget. Because we're using two variables and we're always resetting them, we should be able to keep that in mind whenever we're modifying these. So if we run this one more time, Alice Hawkins says hello. Bob Hawkins, her son says hello. Alley Dearing says hello and then Bob and Alley get married and now Bob Dearing says hello. But this is a little bit of the wrong sort of thing. We want to have Alley is the one that should have her name being changed because she is the girl here. But I'm sure you guys can understand this practice. You have the option to be able to inherit things and you can reset these variables no matter where you are or no matter what you're doing. Because you can just do that. You can change variables inside the subclass. So that's all I have for you guys today. I know this one is a little bit more complex and we're working with different objects and inheritance and that sort of thing. But I'm sure you guys can wrap your mind around and I'm sorry about that little full name flop every now and again. But I'm sure you guys were probably able to catch it even before I was. If you guys were able you could give me a comment. Maybe like the video, maybe subscribe. I don't know, it's whatever you want to do. But thanks again guys and I'll see you in the next tutorial.


Welcome again to A World on the Move, the podcast where we speak to the real issues affecting refugees and migrants around the world. We're live here from the United Nations in their extraordinary studio. It's a real pleasure to be here and it's more than a pleasure to have Stephen O'Brien, the Undersecretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and the Emergency Relief Coordinator all wrapped into one. Well thank you very much indeed and it's a very great pleasure for me to be with you today. My job as the United Nations Humanitarian Chief, it has much longer with titles you've just heard, is very much to try and bring the world of determined and principled humanitarian action to relieve the suffering of all the millions who through no fault of their own find themselves caught up in crisis. We know that there are about 60, 65 million people on the move of whom about 41 million are internally displaced and 20, 24 million also are refugees and migrants and so it's absolutely clear that within our humanitarian response we have to take a real care and pay lots of attention to those who suddenly through no fault of their own find themselves having to flee and that I think is going to be the centre of our discussion today. Thank you so much Stephen. So with that let's turn it over to some of our guests because we have on the show tonight some really interesting people who have themselves walked the walk, have been refugees, have fled war, have fled conflict. So let's start talking to James who's from Sudan, Southern Sudan and who fled that conflict some time ago. James over to you. So to speak on the issue of internally displaced people in South Sudan as well as South Sudanese refugees at the moment as I'm here I'm a student at the University of Toronto studying but alongside that because I cannot sleep physically without thinking so much about what is going on back home I'm working on a project to help those communities fight malnutrition as well as hunger that is very prevalent at the moment. Empowering the local people to be to be independent and take control of some of these issues that are actually facing them. Well first of all I really admire and salute to you James for your continuing care of the people whilst you have been able to flee and to establish yourself in a different country and to make your studies but to have always in your mind the people who you left behind. It's the people themselves who are always going to be the main agents in their own lives and we should always want to make sure that is the case. Let's move the conversation if we can to Helena who's from neighbouring Ethiopia originally and living in living in Belgium. Not somebody who fled war but somebody from a country that's always kind of seems to be on the on the brink of some tremendous success or indeed something something more dark. Tell us tell us your story please. I personally don't have any forced migration stories but my family has experienced them in the past. Ethiopia and Eritrea have always had conflict with one another and in the late 90s a lot of families that were living in either country had to flee if you're of Eritrean origin living in Ethiopia or vice versa and that's what happened with my dad. He left to the US when I was around eight years old and it was a new normal. It was difficult for our family but we are definitely more fortunate than most like you mentioned earlier Mr. O'Brien most people got to flee but a lot were left behind unable to find safe haven elsewhere. So I think that that's what is extremely that's why it is extremely important for humanitarian assistance to reach those unable to support themselves. It's these voices that need to be heard the voices that couldn't get out so that more action can be taken to protect them and the refugees worldwide. Although in Ethiopia there's no current declared conflict of course there are tensions which we have to make sure that we understand and that's what our job is about. So it needs advocacy without advocacy we won't raise the resources without the resources converting from pledges to cash we can't make the programs happen which directly leads to the saving of lives. So again thank you for your advocacy. Let me turn at this point to PJ. Perhaps you tell us a little bit about that conflict and what you remember of it and your journey since then. Thank you Leonard and thank you Mr. O'Brien. I think my my experience of war and conflict is quite historical because it's to do with the wars in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea because I experienced my first escape was when I was age four running away from Liberia to come into Sierra Leone where my father is from and where we were eventually going to be to be settled. So I think as people try to try to escape forced migration it's it's something that we need to look at securing safe passage. We see wars all around the world people moving from country to country escaping for their lives. I think one of the things that we need to always remember is to try to encourage host nations and people to get involved in taking in refugees and in being compassionate. My experience is that additionally my father and mother rescued about 800 child soldiers from the conflict that were living with us that we trained and and equipped and educated and today 10 years 10 15 years down the line. These guys are working with me and we're running four schools. We're working with farmers equipping them to be able to to to increase the quality quantity of their yields. We're tackling the unemployment in Sierra Leone by training people in vocational training and I split my time between UK and Sierra Leone but I think that investment through local people that have a long-term vested interest I think in the solution and actually rebuilding the country I think is also quite key. You are an example of the dominance of the human spirit if you've been through that level of challenge and for you still to be able to talk to us with such a sense of positive hope both for yourself and indeed on behalf of others I think this is a reason why we should all feel inspired and motivated by people who tell the stories as you do. That was something which really came out in this World Humanitarian Summit we had in May where we need to look very carefully at how do we graduate how do we move along that line from immediate and emergency relief the humanitarian relief of life-saving supporting and protection to the development. I do think that there's a real need to recognize as the summit did say to try and get at least 20% of all that is spent into local hands and safe passage which was another point you mentioned is crucial because if you don't have safe passage whether it's within or indeed across a border of countries then what you have is just people on the run and so I'm very I'm very heartened by your putting your finger on what really matters is to establish safe passage is what we are currently as we speak now trying to do in northern Syria in getting to Aleppo but so long as people who wish to move have safe passage to be able to go to where they choose to go to then that is part of what we must as a responsibility seek to achieve. We'll speak to Afsun so it's another framing of the debate of the discussion we're having. Afsun like many of these fled as a very young child was bundled over the border from Iran she'll tell us a little bit about that but she's now working in the migration as a migration lawyer in Canada so the resettlement of refugees is very important although it's always only going to be a small portion of it but I suppose it gives hope. Perhaps Afsun you'll have a give us a few words of your of your own personal story. I don't lament the hardship that I face that my family face that so many of us face and the adversity that we overcame on the other hand I'm proud of it because it built my character and it instilled in me an understanding at a very young age that equality and justice are not just abstract and lofty goals they're practical imperatives that I want to help keep secure for others and that's why I decided to go to law school and that's why I work in immigration and refugee law now and and so and also an understanding that it is that nothing can come between the fact that we are all human at the end of the day that the circumstances that we find ourselves in the tint of our skin color the you know who we worship all of these differences at the end of the day cannot detract from what we have in common. I want to thank you all very much once again and thank you Stephen for spending so much time with us and we'd be delighted to to get you back on at an appropriate time if that's possible. I'd be delighted and I'm extremely grateful to the courage and the stories that we've heard today from all those who participated. So thanks to all from a world on the move and we'll be back with you shortly with another program.
