And so here's what you want to do first here's here's here's an example, and you'll want to do this like in fact let me let me show you like let's really look at this. Let me pull up your personal pages well because both pages are just as important. What's your, what's your, your personal page. Personal pages fictitious it's Kirk Mason. Yeah, because when I did this I didn't want to create a personal page I just wanted a business page. That's right. That's right. That's right. But but are you still but are you active on that page. No, at all. Okay, at all at all. Okay, perfect. So then forget about the forget about the personal. Okay, so then here's what you want to do. Here's what here's what I'm going to have you do step one step one is since you're going to choose one name. That's what it's all about is one name. And here, we're already, we're already mismatched we're already confusing the market we got we got buyer sell with Kevin for the user name. We got CA homes by kev.com for the calm. And then we got K underscore my vet at Yahoo. So the inconsistency in the in the name is what is what is what throws it all off. And this is just basic this is super basic this this ain't no law. I mean I'm just trying to step the brand up. This one name whatever the one name is we bring to the marketplace. We need to lock that name on everything. So for example, with with my client over here candy. Well first of all I'm going to take it back to the personal page like let me from the personal to the business. So on the personal.  None of them look like this, and this this is just basic. This is basic branding. So right away, what you'll see on most agents pages is this link will be their brokers. So this is taking me straight to cold walls business page. So the majority of people that are friends with that person are liking cold walls page. That's mistake number one most don't even put their own personal or their own, you know, business page to put their brokers. So right here, that's her that's her business page. But then most importantly the one name that she's bringing to the marketplace is hedge properties. So what she did is she literally went the extra step, and she customized every platform, because the last thing you want to do is over here with buyers sell with Kevin. The last thing you want to do watch for example, let me I'm going to show you right now. If you don't got that for everything else, then then I wouldn't even recommend it for Facebook. We need that for everything. So what tends to happen is, you'll end up getting that one name. And because we didn't lock it on everything else, someone else got it on LinkedIn. Let's see if someone else got it. So, okay, no one no one got it. So that's good. No one got it. That's good. Let's check Instagram. Let's let's hope no. No, you got it. You got it on Instagram. No, my Instagram is Kevin my vet Ari. Okay, so this is this is available on Instagram. It's all also available on on LinkedIn. And it's, let's see if it's available on Twitter. It's too long, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Yeah, it's too long for Twitter. Twitter is 15 characters. So it's not actually look actually no it doesn't. Well, yeah it doesn't it doesn't one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13. Yeah, it's too long for Twitter anyways. So LinkedIn, you have the Facebook page. Instagram, you don't have to start up a whole new account. And also with your Instagram, your name can stay at the top, like your name like your name can stay at the top like like this for example here's my name right here. So my name is on the page as well for sure. But the username, the username is my one name that I'm branding. So favorite so in the search button right there for Instagram. Type in Kevin my vet RE. No, no, there it is. Yeah, yeah. See so. So again, you got this as your name. This what you have as a name with the with the business page is the same thing. So over here this is that your name on the pay the title of the page. And that could be anything so linked in Instagram. This is it for Instagram right here. The title could be anything what I'm referring to is the user name. Okay, the username, you want that to be matching with everything so this right here these are her user names. And so when it comes to your demographics, your ideal client client. Nine out of 10 of them are going to be on these top five Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn. Even if you don't know one darn thing about Pinterest, set it up. Like you got to you got to lock the name that's what it's all about just lock in the name making sure no one else could take that name, and then getting it listed.  And so this is her personal page. Let me show you the business page. People are going to find you on Facebook. Let's say they find your business page. Let's say you're running ads on your business page, and then boom, they come to your page, and they see that you're on LinkedIn. They see that you're on Pinterest. They happen to be on Pinterest 15 hours a day. So they click on Pinterest, they connect with you there they message you there because they're more comfortable messaging you there. And you better hope you get that message. Right. Not everyone's going to get a message on Facebook, like not everyone even likes Facebook, just because you found them there. Don't think they're spending time over here. And so as a brand, I just want to make sure you can find me as a brand I want to make sure I got that one name so it looks good as a brand I don't want to miss any message when it pertains to buying and selling real estate. So, so if anyone's going to going to message me it's going to be on one of these platforms, and just just get it get get them all up and just and rock with one name. So it's either going to be this is the username. Kevin my, my, my vet are either that's the username so you're going to come over here to Facebook and change this. Right, you're going to come over here and change this if that's the name you're going to run with. Because you just want to match everything so again with with candy look this is her business page, hedge properties, hedge properties, hedge properties, hedge properties, even the email hedge properties, even the dot com hedge properties. So, um, for Instagram I can go into the account and change the Kevin my that already or have to create. No for sure like let me show you so if I come to my profile over here, all I'm going to do is click on edit profile. And this is the name so again you got your name on the page. What I just want to change you that that could be your name right there. All I want to change and customize are the user names. Okay, I see. So, so I want it to be instagram.com forward slash and that customized username. And I want the same for the website address the same dot com for that web for the for the user name, whatever we're bringing to the marketplace that one user name. You know, so this is just the difference and again all it is is aesthetics, all it is is what the human ICs I see one name. Okay cool I can remember that hedge properties. Oh, should I can remember that I could find you anywhere online I could find you any social media platform platform buyer sell a Kev okay call hitch up on Twitter. You know what I mean it's like that one name. Okay, so like I have I currently have a Gmail account. My agent Kevin Gmail. So can I link that new name if I were to switch it to a buyer seller buyer seller with Kevin Gmail. I have to create a new account or can I just mask it. How does that work. No, you would just, you would just. Again if you already have it, then use that for everything. But it's just if it's taken, then you'll want to get a different one. But but at the same time what you can do also is once you get the dot com, like especially through go daddy. If you get the dot com, then you can always use that as your email. And then you can forward that to any Gmail that you want to tell you the truth. So, so Kevin at CA homes by kev.com.  But like on mine, for example, like if you kind of like here's my personal page. Everything is one name. It just, it just looks better.  Right. And that's just I'm just saying that's what everyone misses. But if you kind of my business page over here. All the links you'll see in the intro as well, right here at the top in the about section. But what I what I have is I don't have a Gmail. I do have a Gmail actually I do have a Gmail. But what the public sees is they see my business email David at inspired digital.com. And if you email that it goes to my Gmail. Okay, so so so we can link it. We could create. Oh yeah for sure for sure for sure. You can you can you can forward it is what it is you can forward it as long as you own the dot com. And I know through Go Daddy you can just set up email forwarding. And that's what I have like I have I have you know I just have email forwarding it simply goes to my Gmail and I check all my email through my Gmail. You know, but but there goes all the links right there. And everything is just one name.  Real quick again on her business page. This is step two, this is what we need to do sooner than later before the intro video let's do this one first. When I come to Kevin's page. Again, Kevin, here's the thing about social media we don't know each other. Like just because we're friends on Facebook or whatever and you got these people on your on your on your Facebook friend list ain't nobody know kev. Unless they're your friends from school, unless they're your neighbor unless you break and bread with them, unless it's someone that your family, your cousins, like you got a handful of people on your personal Facebook page that you actually physically know. But again, as we're scaling up that number. Most of us that are building a business. We're trying to take that number through the roof. You're trying to have 17,000 people on Instagram following you. Well, at the end of the day, ain't nobody can even know me. So it's like, not only do they not live in my area like I've been talking about, but they don't even know me. So when it comes to when it comes to our brand. Here's another thing that stands out. I come to Kevin's page. I see 26 likes. I come to candy's page. I see 3500. I don't know candy. I don't know Kevin.  That just happened to be friends with you guys on Facebook or social media. I don't even know anybody even know each other. But I'm just over here assuming that candy is crushing it. I'm over here thinking Kevin might have just got started. When you could be the 15 year vet. She's the three month rookie. But we don't know that. I mean, so that's what I call step two. After looking at thousands and thousands of pages, man, business pages, real estate agents specifically again, since 2016. I mean, I don't mean to keep saying that, but it is what it is. It's that real. I've seen them all 99.9% of them have 200 likes. So when I come to yours, show me 2000. Right. Just stand out. You don't need, I mean, I got 10,000 online. You don't need that many at all. But as high as it really gets for an agent, you won't find too many unless unless you're coming across a brokers page, like maybe coldwell, and they've been promoting that business page for the past 17 years on Facebook, maybe they got 17,000 people or 77,000 people, but they're the main brand. But an individual, you'll never see anyone with with with this many like at all at all, like maybe one out of out of 300 people that you'll look at. You know, so that's just a part of the brand as well. When an individual comes here, show them a bigger number. All that is is perception. That's all it is. But it's important for our brand.  Right. Like, and that's worth the first ad. That's worth the few bucks to take it up.  I don't know. Nobody knows me. But when they come here and they see 10,000.  Okay, maybe this guy's doing something right.  They don't know that. Right. How do you get to how do you get those numbers. A simple like at a simple Facebook ad bro, a simple Facebook ad, a simple Facebook ad. So let's do this let's let's let's let's let's run that ad let's run that ad let's spend this time real quick and let's let's get that ad started. Do we have any budget right now a few bucks to put towards an ad. Oh, sure.  It's not an ad that that that is even you know, targeted, it's a very untargeted at it's a very broad, we're going to throw a we're going to throw a huge net and just target one key word. And just get thousands of people to like is like like the page real quick it's just to get the ad account going it's so Facebook can start noticing traction on the account. And it's just to it's just to bring life to the page it's a one time ad we'll run it for maybe a week, maybe a couple weeks if that and just spark the page real quick. And then after that, I just thought about something. Let's let's hold off on that and here's the reason why because I like to do things the right way right understand what you're saying. Yes. I can't perform any real estate activities, probably for the next 48 hours or so and until until I sign up with a new broker. Okay, okay, I would prefer. I'm situated and we do that because what we what you're saying is probably not illegal or wrong but the point is, it's all good. Yep. They're coming to a page that's that's probably invalid because I'm not. I just switched brokerages and I didn't complete the process onboarding process yet. And so, you know, I just want to do things the right way at least at least that's my opinion. Yes. Oh yeah for sure. I'm with it. We'll do that then let's talk and let's talk in a couple days and that should be our next call is let's run the like ad and just get a few thousand and in the meantime what you what you should be doing also. So here's a little bit of homework a little little bit of homework is number one. Think of that one name you're going to use for everything. Now we're gonna I'm going to stick with buyers so with Kevin. So, okay, just have to switch Instagram. Just just make sure it's not it's not available. You know make sure it's not actually that is that the name we check the first time or did we check. Yeah, we did check by our cell with Kev. So, here's what you also want to do. Let's let's go one step further. And let's just check to see if the dot com is is available. Because if that dot com is not available, then then we're not going that route you're going to have to think of something different. Buy or sell with kevin.com. Look at that it's available for 750 bucks man you ain't going to buy that. So, what about I mean what about a dot net is down here and then hold on a bit. You got you got net. Okay, just buy yourself with Kevin net. That's not bad. That's not bad. Buy yourself with kevin.com or bad actually that's that's only buying buyers sell with kevin.shop.info.me. Yeah, there's there's some to choose from. Okay, that's fine. Perfect. So, we don't necessarily need the dot com. You can grab you can grab something different. But this one is this buyer selling Kevin online with the bottom. This one right here. Yeah, yeah buyers sell with Kevin dot online. That's that's really good. That's a really good one too man. That's a really, really good one. Everything is online man everything is online buyer sell with Kevin dot online. In fact I just purchased like four online ones the other day. So an online one's not bad. So here's here's so. Yeah, so that's what you want to do then is grab grab that grab that from from go daddy. And then and then get that so that's that that's number one is let's get all you're going to do is log into all these social media platforms just log into all of them like with LinkedIn. You just simply come over here to your profile. Let me show you where it's at. So if you just come over here and click on click on what it's right here, edit public profile. So if you click on that, it's going to straight bring you to this section right here where you can you can change it and it's right here personalized your URL. So all I did is I hit that little pencil, and I put in my custom name. Okay, and then select save right. That's it. That's it and then and then the same thing for for the Instagram. And then what you'll want to do is that that name is too long for Twitter so you might have to just leave Twitter out. But, but for sure get a Pinterest up to man even if you don't know one damn thing about Pinterest even if you'll never pin anything ever still lock the name we need to lock that name. So when it comes to Pinterest, hundreds of millions of people are over here man every single month hundreds of millions of people. So the these females these older females that be on the market as well they're over here pinning stuff on Pinterest like my wife my wife over here pinning stuff on Pinterest don't know one damn thing about Facebook which you know everything about Pinterest. And that that that's a 40 year old woman that could possibly be selling or buying someday right over here Pinterest. So when you come in here is just clicking on this going to settings, and then you'll see the user name. All you're going to do is just is just putting your username right there. And so you're you're you're good with that you're good you're good with the Facebook page, and then and then again so you said you do have that Gmail or you don't have that Gmail. No, I don't know. Okay, yeah, grab the Gmail. I'd grab the Gmail fire you buy or sell with Kevin at Gmail. Now, that won't be a name that you necessarily brand, like I wouldn't recommend putting that name up here I would recommend getting. First get the get the get the domain and then you can turn that into the email, and then you could just simply forward it to your to your to your new email. Or you could just or or or if it's branding just like with with candy. You know she she has the Gmail, and she's listing the Gmail, and the Gmail. It matches with everything else. So I mean, if you can go that route you can go that route to them, as long as it's matching just grab the Gmail for the heck of it just grab it just in case. Buy or sell with Kevin at Gmail. Okay, so so that's homework assignment number one and then and then homework assignment number two is to work on the intro, work on that intro video. Okay, and I'm telling you kev. I don't know how how you are with camera as far as like shy or whatever like, bro ain't nobody know you like when we run this ad. It's going to a cold market. Don't worry about the video it's going to be very nice stone it's good good good keep it simple. But what's important for me is to target the five cities, see how it see how it does see we're getting traction, and then come back and retarget and then my plan, my plan is every Monday to put out something. On Fridays, I have something I'm creating called Freedom Fridays. And the idea by Freedom Fridays is I follow a specific eating plan during the week. So I'm going to go to certain restaurants on Fridays by lunch and feature the lunch, and then just do a quick video about real estate in that market so for example, there's a Jamaican restaurant in Hawthorne I'm just going to go there. Five minutes when I pick up my food take a video of the ox sales, and then quickly talk about the horse market and then take that video and send it out to the horse one area. Okay, so here's the deal kev here's the here's the icing on the cake I love how you're you're thinking and I love the strategy I love it I love it I love it. Here's the icing on the cake. Here's the call to action there always has to be a call to action what every agent does their call to action. Hey guys and by the way, feel free to give me a call or send me a message or maybe comment below.  So what we got to do is, those would be great ads as well, like those would be phenomenal ads, your your Friday videos with a call to action so at the end of the video, even if it's not an ad, even if it's not an ad at the end of the video and actually I would highly recommend it being an ad but here's the call to action. My plan for that is his people are people are about peaking interest. Yes, so for example, that person might not be thinking about buying in Hawthorne. So if I end the video safe for a free list of vacant homes or remodeled homes in the Hawthorne area click here, and then send them to my IDX feed or maybe have the list already prepared, and it just goes to their goes to their infamous wherever it needs to go they download it you know that that that's where we're at so actually that's where we'll be at is that landing page. So that's that's the million dollar question is what what landing page software or what web page are you are you trying to take them to, because that's the most important. You know, we'll cross that bridge when we cross it, but but but most most most web pages that I've seen from agents are not the right one. So, I end up always having to recommend the other one car trip for example because everything else out there ain't the one for for ads for for targeting so. Yeah, we'll cross there when we cross it but we'll need something to give out so either yeah either you're giving out a free buyer list or you're giving out a buyer seller guide. That was the call to action. Yeah, so the call to action is always by giving away click the button below, you know, and you could be at that restaurant doing your damn thing talking about it and given out all this great information and that call to action hey and by the way guys, if you like a buyer list, click the link below. It'll take you straight to my web page. So for example, this would be this will be a page. So I'm seeing that as a Facebook ad targeting my local area. If they click on it, they come straight to a page like this. Welcome to the Los Angeles homes under 900 K list. Some of these homes even qualify for special financing, rush me the list ASAP. That's how you can bro. That's how you capture lead, it ain't going to go to your broker's website. It ain't going to go into your IDX and all of a sudden you're sending them 15 listings. It's like no like what what takes place on the back end so I'm click off from this one right here. So when that person comes here, and they opt in. They ended up going it's a two page. That's all it is man takes two pages page number one landing page. They opt in send me the list. They ended up going to the second page. This is the thank you page. Now it's these two simple pages that are the most important for Facebook advertising and I'm telling you right now I don't think your webpage does it. I don't think I'm on. Now I could be wrong. You could have, you know, webpage where it does take me to a second page. My question is, how does the, how does the list being generated on the back end, because the NLS have IDX site. Yes. Do we do we have to create a PDF version and then upload it to no, not at all once that so so what just happened right now is the lead was just captured. Now that lead is in my cartridge CRM that lead is now sitting over here. Watch for example, I just opted into my own damn page. I'll see my name right here. So look, this is the lead that just came in. This is the lead that just came in. And so as I click on that lead, I can click on the lead. I could put notes. I could tag them. I can I can see what list they opted into. So they like they opted into the bar list. I can see if they're on there in any, any sequences, which is the automated emails that go out the moment they opted in. So to answer your question, this first email that goes out, that was the automated email that goes out right away. I could, I could say, Hey, Dave, thank you so much for opting in and inquiring on a bar list. Click here to be taken straight to the list. And that could be your IDX link, for example, or that could be any. That's all my concern because again, everything needs to be automated and set up an event. So yeah, so when they take action, we just get to the desired result. Yeah. Yeah. So that lead I could take them again, capturing the lead is number one. That's the most important. And then in the number two is the back end, which could be a simple email. I send a simple email automate a simple email and I can have them go anywhere after that. I could take it on my website. I could take them wherever I want after I capture the lead. So that's that's why the front end that lead that web page that landing page, the landing page, the thank you page. That's why I've yet to see a real estate agent have from their brokerage is those two pages. And the reason another reason why those two pages are so important is because as I go to the landing page again when you're running Facebook ads, taking you back to the landing page. In the other video, you're at you're at some taco shop talking about how amazing the burritos are and and they click, they come here. Some are going to opt in. Some are not. That's why that Facebook pixel has to be on this page because I'm going to retarget those who did not opt in. That's number one. And then number two, the ones who actually opt in, they land over here. Now what I'm going to do for sure is those who land on this link. This is a completely different link. My Facebook pixel is also tracking these people. So here's what happens in Facebook. We create a custom audience. Those who have landed on this page are quote unquote leads.  As I go and run that next ad next Friday, I'm going to always make sure to exclude those who landed here. Because they're already right. They don't need to keep seeing my ad. They've already opted in. They don't need to keep seeing my videos. They've already opted in. So now if I ever want them to see anything else in the future, email it to them. I'll email them as they're already a lead. And I drop another video next Friday. Hey guys, check out this video. I just dropped on my Facebook. Hey, you guys are going to love it. Click here. And that's an email. I'm not paying no more to get them to see my ads. I'm excluding them from my ad. I'm now going to email them. Right. So, so that's why the email can be sent from Carter as well. Heck yeah, bro. You kidding me. Carter is the most important because it's the landing page software. It's the email autoresponder and it's the online calendar. As these emails start to go out automatically on Kevin's behalf, directing them to wherever the heck we want to direct them in the email, there's a link to our calendar. That's the most important. I want people to be getting emails on my behalf on my behalf all day every day with a link to my calendar. I don't want to be, you know, I want people to automate.  You know, that's what starts to happen. So as we start to fill the funnel and people are receiving emails every day, you're going to have a handful of them that are actually scheduling appointments. Clicking on the link, you know, clicking on your link in the email. And that link in the email is not some random link in your email signature. It's not some random link in the PS of your email.  Hey, Dave, and by the way, man, if you'd like to jump on a call, I'd love to talk to you. I'd love to give you all my secret strategies on what it takes to buy in Los Angeles in 2021. Click the link below. Take it straight to my calendar where you can schedule your best time. Hey, and don't forget to check email number, you know, coming out tomorrow. I got another email coming out. You're going to love it. Talk to you soon.  You know, but again, it's not, it's not sending your phone number. It's not reply to the email. It's click the link, go schedule a call. You know, automating the appointment as well. You know, so. So that that's the long term approach. I think we accomplished a lot today. I'm glad the direction we're heading. Yes, man. But I got to run because I have another call another. Yes, work on the links work on the links and practice your intro video or get it done and then and then let's let's talk again and on our next call we'll run the like ad. Okay, and possibly the intro video if you're ready with it as well. Okay, cool. All right, Kev. Have a good one.


Welcome to the final episode of Scrum Mastery Challenge and just as a quick check no swimming pools around me this time to fall into. The bad news is this is the final episode but the good news is that we're going to find out who our 2018 Scrum Mastery Challenge champion is. Over the last couple of months we've seen Paul, Sam, Christina, Helen and Freya engage in numerous challenges in the name of entertainment and agile education. We've seen them build towers of food, memorise information about people, buy things, take photographs of things, paint pictures of things and with one challenge left remaining let's see what we've got in store for them this time. Hello. This is very exciting. Look at the seal. I've always wanted to come out here. Best day ever. Have your choice for as long as possible. You must be able to hold the biscuit for at least five seconds after dunking without the biscuit breaking. You may test as many times as you like. But you will not get any more biscuits. Oh, some of my favourites in there. So what's dunking biscuits in cups of tea got to do with agile? Well to be honest when I set the challenge I had absolutely no idea. As things stand after seven episodes only Sam, Christina and Freya are still in with a shout of winning but nobody knew this when this episode's challenge took place. So let's see how they got on. First up we're going to see Helen, Christina and Paul. Which one do I go for first? The testives are rich teas soaked quite quickly. So I probably won't use those. Right, let's test something out quickly first. Two gingers at once, right? Steady, go. And it's stable. I reckon that these ones, these are going to be the most stable. I'm going to try two party wings. Ready, savage, four biscuit approach. So that is two jammy dodgers and two cookies. It's going to go longer then. 14 and a half seconds. That's super strong. That's not even moving. Oh, no it has. No, it's gone everywhere. That held. That was alright. So you've got eight and a half seconds in the bag. Which one is that? That was custard cream. See, maybe my original assumption was wrong. Let's try the rich tea. No one likes the rich tea. Make sure one, two, three in the bag. I think that's it. Well, rich tea. Who'd have thought it? Who'd have thought that? Rich tea is obviously good for something. So the jammy dodgers and the cookies are the best so far. And again, Bourbons. I'm not going to count on Bourbons and digestives to the left. What I'll do in my last 30 seconds, I'll do a quick one. And I'll dump them in rich tea. I'm just going to go two double, two digestives. Three, two, one, go. We're up for it. Now what was that? 16. Is that my best one? That's your best. And then I think jammy dodgers because they've gone longer. You're in hand itself well. I'm going to try that one again. How much time have we got? Oh, Blimey, we've got two minutes. Sorry. I think it was about nine seconds ago. Eating these. Okay, this biscuit is proving to be the best one. So, does the whole thing have to go in? No. So it can be just the smallest amount. I reckon I've got about 15. I reckon that's 19. Is it? What's a 19? Okay. I made some judgments and I just proved myself wrong really, didn't I? Because I thought the ice ring would be no good, but that was like the second best. And I really slagged off rich tea biscuits. And actually, they were the winning biscuit. So it just proves that actually sometimes your first gut instincts are wrong. The first thing I noticed when I watched these three people was a lot of failure. But that's a good thing. They failed in order to succeed. They found out what worked very quickly by just dunking. And then they used that information to go on to the next thing. The other thing I noticed was Helen, especially, found out that her initial assumptions tended to be incorrect. And I really slagged off rich tea biscuits. And actually, they were the winning biscuit. She had her mind made up about what biscuits were going to be good for dunking and which biscuits were going to be bad for dunking. And by the end of it, she completely changed her mind based on actually doing something. And Paul got quite impressively creative by dunking combinations of biscuits. Never saw that one coming. Why did you do that? Well, it's like being in a planning session and having two different opinions about a solution and maybe suggesting as a team, is there any way that we can combine those two things together in parallel? Is there an element of both of those that we could combine to come up with a better plan than we thought of? So it's that kind of bespoke collaborative effort. Interesting analogy there. And they ended up all with very similar scores. Paul lasting 16 seconds. Christina 19 and Helen 21. That was eight seconds. It's gone all like a gel. It's going to go. You've got five seconds though, so that's 11. When you started, did you think 30 seconds was possible? No, I thought it was going to go for like six and then it would drop off under the water and I'd be like, oh, where did it go? So how did you get to 30 seconds then? I did it with rich tea. I put in the very, very, very edge and then with it staying in the tea, I just spun it round. Did you break the rules? I didn't think. I wondered if I could bend the rules. So I would say that one dunk is putting it in without taking it out but the same bit doesn't have to stay in as long as some part of it stays in. What was your strategy? Not to, like most things, just to do something and see what happens and then calculate my next step based on what happened. One of the mistakes that you've got to know what you're doing before you do something whereas actually the real learning only comes once you've done something. There's no point fighting the universal and inevitable truth that biscuits absorb tea. So really, it was about minimizing the amount of tea it could absorb. Step one of that was submerging less of the biscuit and then step two was submerging less of the biscuit and also for less long whilst keeping some of the biscuits submerged. And I think my mistake was using the ice biscuit first. So why did you use it first? I got excited. I got well excited about the ice biscuit. That's a winner right there. That guy's a champ. The other biscuits are losers. That's why I used it first. That was pretty much word for word. What I should have done is used one of the worst biscuits. Rich tea. That bad boy's not going to last five seconds in or out of the coffee, right? Both Freya and Sam effectively questioned the definition of done tea by challenging me on what the term dunk actually meant. They both found creative ways of solving the problem and tackling the challenge to make him to a really good agile team. Delivering the goal rather than just asking for a specific requirement and following it to the latter. The only difference between the two was how quickly Sam came up with the idea. That gave him more time to iterate and enhance the solution compared to Freya. So is there anything relevant to being agile in dunking biscuits in cups of tea? The first thing I think is to just get on with it. The people that did the best in this challenge were the ones who went for it straight away. They started dunking and started finding out what was going on, what was going to work and what wasn't going to work as quickly as possible. There's a lot of unknowns and when there are a lot of unknowns the best thing to do is just to try something and then use that information to make your next decision better. Very akin to those operating in an uncertain environment where agile is the best way of finding things out. The second thing is around challenging our assumptions. It's very easy to be blind to the things we think we know or the things we think we don't know. In this situation all of our contestants ended up challenging something about what they believed. Whether that was about the dunking quality of a rich tea biscuit or the combination of biscuits or what the term dunk actually meant. Agile requires us to challenge our assumptions most notably about what we consider to be normal and quite often a lot of the aspects of agile delivery can seem counter-intuitive. So we have to trust ourselves, trust the process and give things a go. It's easier for us to do this when we're operating in short time boxes because it's a lot less risky to experiment and find things out when the risk is only a short amount of time being wasted. Another thing that makes it a little bit easier for us to challenge our assumptions is by working in a cross-functional team because we haven't just got our own ideas to listen to. We've got a diverse range of perspectives. And the third analogy I think we've found here is around being courageous. Agile requires us to be brave. We're going to change the way that we do things personally, individually, as a team and as an organisation. We're going to be changing cultures. We're going to be making decisions with incomplete information. We're going to be running experiments where we might get things wrong. We're going to be delivering something without all the information necessary and getting feedback on that, iterating, letting go of our ideas and changing our mind as we get new information. And in this challenge, we required courage in terms of leaving the biscuit in the tea for as long as possible and using up our scarce resources. So here's a reminder of the standings before this challenge. And with the points from this challenge taking into account, we have a winner. Helen and Paul ended up on 19 points and joined fourth. Despite Frey as an innovative approach here, it wasn't quite enough to bring her the title, but she does get a podium finish. Christina's fought a good fight throughout the whole series and must feel a little unlucky to be pipped right at the end. But second place is certainly no disgrace. Which means our winner and the Scrum Mastery champion of 2018 is Sam the Firestarter Whitehead. Is it time? Understood. Sam's done brilliantly throughout this series. He's probably been our most creative and innovative out-of-the-box thinker and has approached each challenge with enthusiasm and a sense of humor. He's a well-deserved winner, I think. How does he feel about being the first Scrum Mastery Challenge champion? One, that's awesome. To be honest, when you asked, I was just happy to compete. And then when I saw the pedigree of the other people involved and their creativity, their experience, in fact just the sheer intelligence of all of the people involved, immediately I was like, yeah, easy. Which turned out to be the case. I didn't even go full out, to be honest with you. Seriously, though, when I started I thought actually, considering the crowd at anything fifth place is a bad thing based on who else was competing. It turned out that I came first, which is a little bit remarkable. It's probably going to add to the perception that I know I'm doing. That's really useful. And obviously, the check's in the post, right? You're going to say, Jeff, are you just going to deliver the check? Bant transfer? Anyway, winning, but it was, you know, that was important take. I mentioned courage earlier on. And I think we need to just take a quick look at the actual series as a whole. All of our contestants threw themselves into this without knowing what they were getting themselves into. That required courage, and I really appreciate them getting involved. Hopefully you've taken something useful from this series that you can use with your team or your organisation or personally. But if nothing else, I hope you're inspired by their give it a go attitude. What can you take away from this and use tomorrow? We're nearly done and the credits are about to roll. So all that's left for me to do is to thank our contestants and our judges and you for watching. And one final request for you to take part in our charity causes. Like my mushroom eating video and buy a raffle ticket for the artworks that they created in episode one. All proceeds going to charity. If you like videos, then check out my series of lightbulb talks. It doesn't take long to subscribe and you'll get notified when a new one comes out. And now we really are done done. Roll the credits. You can eat it. But I can't because I dip it in the tea and it's going to mush. So remember, the state of play right now after seven episodes are that Sam, Christina and Freya are still in with a chance of being this week's... Eventually, Helen challenged her initial assumptions about which... So what are the analogies between dunking tea? Eventually, Helen... Helen? Helen?


The Quran the holy book of Islam Some people respect it others despise it others don't even know anything about it, and there's other people that Have limited it and don't find it Necessary or don't find the needs for it in our modern societies today yet The holy month of Ramadan is the month where this divinely revealed book was revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him yet We find Muslims not having the relation with this divinely revealed book The word of God a lot of people have limited These divinely revealed books or this these divinely revealed words to only weddings funerals and To this holy month for me personally I Feel and I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give me more time to actually get to ponder upon the verses of the Quran to read more to learn more and Unfortunately, we see people who even on the Quran have differentiated a Person said I have a different idea on this verse A person says I have a different idea on the other verse and yet we have not come united to recite this book on a daily basis Now how do we get to understand the words of wisdom that are within this book? This is why we have Dr. Sayda Amar and Akshawani joining us tonight to discuss Quran in the holy month of Ramadan Respective viewers. Salamu alaikum. Rahmatullah. How are you? Salamu alaikum. How are you? How are you? Very well. Thank you. Now Saydena a lot of people have abandoned this book many As I mentioned don't find it necessary in our societies today They find different excuses to actually even open the book. It's collecting dust on the shelves It's unfortunate to see that something natural I think in the human being That it's not easy for them to relate to texts which were From over a thousand years back. I don't expect people To have an affinity with the Quran or with the Bible or with the Torah with the Gita Or any of the sacred scriptures of the other religions I don't expect them to have the love and passion come overnight for these pieces of literature I can't say that I'm somebody who in his teens could not wait to read the holy Quran and Nor do I think many of my Christian brethren or my Jewish brethren or my Hindu brethren or my Sikh brethren While they respect their holy books. I don't think that they'll Say that they are books which they look forward to reading. Yes, maybe on a Friday. We all get together Maybe on a Saturday, we'll get together. Maybe on a Sunday. We'll get together whether it's at the Mosque or at the church or at the synagogue To try and maintain that relationship with our holy books But I can't deny that these aren't books that it's easy for one to have a particular affinity to Unless in one way or the other they are inspired by someone who's an expert in them Who makes the book suddenly become real in their lives or by them actually? Reflecting on the odd verse once a day or reading the odd chapter once a week Now if you look within the religion of Islam The Quran has a verse which highlights That the community of the Prophet sadly will abandon and has abandoned the Quran It's mentioned mentioned as In if some of us think that we've abandoned the Quran and this is something which is a new phenomenon On the contrary the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family has this very interesting Verse in chapter 25 verse 30 of the Holy Quran where it begins color Rasool Ya, Rabbi in a common takadu. How does all Quran a majura? the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family actually cries out My Lord my people have abandoned this Quran They have abandoned this book It hurts the Muslim when the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family cries in anguish at any moment But this is a verse of unbelievable amount of emotion and sentiment from the Prophet peace be upon him and his family That when he's calling out. Ya, Rabbi in a common takadu. How does all Quran a majura that my people have abandoned this? Quran He's in a way not just telling us one of the cries of anguish on the day of judgment Not just one of the cries of anguish for example in his own life But also is highlighting to us that hey guys don't be of those Who I complain about All the Quran complains about on the day of judgment Because there are a number of traditions which highlight About those who complain on the day of judgment yes, and There's one tradition which I must admit shook me in my life And I hope that it has an effect on the viewers Hopefully and has an effect on all of us every day in our life three Will complain about the way that they were abandoned on the day of judgment number one the first our mosques our mosques sadly There is something creeping into our community where online Majalis has now taken over attending the mosque. I Don't want to say that I'm responsible Hopefully they're sitting watching us. Yeah, well, I don't mind them coming is sitting to watch us You can watch us. There's no issue whatsoever, but I don't think we could deny that online Lectures online seminars have meant that a lot of people have begun to abandon the mosques that were built With the hard work and the sweat of the elders of the community Today, it's normal for someone when it's a will out of an Imam of a little bit or a shahada You'll find them saying, you know, I'd rather stay at home and watch this online. Firstly, you're missing out the social significance of the gathering Secondly our spiritual belief of the attendance of the Imam of a little bit. I love him salam when it comes to these gatherings But thirdly, it's never the same when you're at home When you're at home the phone rings, you've just missed the part of that segment all of a sudden for example Someone's called you the kids are crying So therefore you find sometimes in our mosques today. They've been abandoned People will turn up in Muharram. They'll turn up in the holy month of Ramadan But if you tell someone on a wet Tuesday night in London or a snowy Wednesday night in Toronto that it's the Shahada of Imam al-Jawad, they'll be like, listen buddy Muharram. I'll turn up. Yeah, 21st 23rd Ramadan I'll turn up but as for me turning up for example in these nights, you know what? I'd rather stay at home So number one the mosque will complain about the way we decorated them But there wasn't that energy inside number two the family of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him They'll complain about our treatment towards them Have we written books in their honor? Have we built hospitals with their names? Today we had the honor of visiting Imam al-Hujjah Ajal Allah Farajah al-Sharif hospital in Karbala. Yes, and the fantastic work That is being undertaken and that's hospital in the holy land of Karbala a hospital that everybody should try and support Which is looking after not just the followers of Ahlul Bayt But the name of Ahlul Bayt al-Masalam as a force for good in the world Ahlul Bayt al-Masalam we can write books in their name. We can build orphanages in their name We can dedicate chairs and institutions of education in their name That's us not abandoning the cry Helmin Nasr al-Niyan Surna for example. So therefore you have number two Ahlul Bayt al-Masalam may complain about the way we've neglected them number three the holy Quran That book that sits amongst us here. Look how beautiful this book is in the middle of both of us But there's a reality and the reality is that many people will not open this book throughout the year Many will not reflect on the wonderful words of the Quran. I don't know if you remember a few years ago I had this lecture series on the sciences of the Quran. We called it the abandoned Quran and In that lecture series, do you remember when I said name me the first ten suras of the holy Quran? If you were to ask over 80% of the Muslim world to name you the first ten suras of the holy Quran and If I were to ask you and I asked the lads over here and I asked the guys behind the camera And I were to ask many in the community to name the first ten suras of the holy Quran and I'm gonna ask you You're not getting away with it Name me the first ten suras of the holy Quran Haji Ahmed Ali al-Astarabadi. Go ahead Number one Fatihah number two Bakarra number three Al-Amaran number four Nisaa number five number six An'am number seven Araf excellent number eight Anfal excellent number nine Excellent number ten Excellent Masha Allah. I tell you if you were not married I would be telling people to send proposals right now because that is amazing that you got eight out of ten well done I'm proud of you. That is amazing. There are many out there the moment they get Fatihah Bakarra Al-Amaran after Al-Amaran It's like What what's Anfal and I'm what you talk about and I'm you know, and that's a sad situation in the Muslim Ummah Someone might say who cares if you don't know the names of the chapters of the holy Quran when you have not understood The index of the chapters of the holy Quran Then you've not understood what a holistic book the holy Quran is the holy Quran is not a historical narrative It's not beginning with for example. Hey, let's have the first chapter about for example Adam and Eve and the last chapter will be about the life of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family on the contrary When you're looking at the holy Quran you find that there are chapters on the natural world the animal kingdom There are chapters about great personalities. There are chapters about great woman There are chapters about different tribes the galaxy there are chapters about everything the cosmological the metaphysical the Psychological all of these areas are discussed in the holy Quran when you look at the first ten chapters Haji Ahmed Al-Fatiha the first chapter of the Quran the opening Yes, the second the cow the third the family of Imran the fourth woman the fifth the holy supper The sixth cattle the seventh the elevated heights the eighth the spoils the ninth repentance the 10th Jonah you're seeing that this is a remarkable remarkable What one may call diversity in the way? God wants to Speak to humanity when people say the Quran was the last word of God sometimes people turn around say Why is that book the last word of God? Because the previous books may have been historical narratives with wonderful ethical moments, but this One book has now looked at the holistic the spiritual the legal the ethical the theological is all included within it Now you mentioned earlier that you know It's a fourteen hundred year old book and it's hard for people to keep up with it You know have a relationship with it, but then you mentioned how significant it is in our society and a lot of people you know I think they're they're not getting the way that at the current the way the way they should be now Why should we as Muslims have a relation with this book? we as Muslims have to have a relationship with this book because our world view Is to be directed through God's divine Words This book is not a normal book. This is the words of the Lord of the heavens and the earth This is what allows us to maintain that relationship with the heavens. Yes There are many authors fiction and nonfiction in this world They're human beings. They're fallible beings These are the words of the Lord and Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala God in the Quran doesn't just call it the Quran.   Yes many times Like the amount of times that you backbite for example say it and I don't know you know you I mean generally I don't even know where you know where you but That you look in the holy Quran the moment you're about to backbite, you know, I just front bit I didn't So the moment you are about to backbite if the Quran is a book which truly you have Built a relationship with and it's a book which becomes a reminder to you the moment you're about to backbite You remember well, I have some battle come by and do not backbite one another sometimes you're thinking I Want to spy on what the neighbors have our building are they building a small shed in their backyard? Are they for example extending the house as you're about to look the ethical construct of the Quran pops in your head Well, I just said so Wow Someone told you you know that said I'm on a show on me. I heard this and that about him One side of you will say Yes, that's true. Do you think that's really true The ethical side when you've built a relation with the Quran it becomes a reminder for you and you remember the words Yeah, you have a dina. I'm an old each time a book a theorem in a plan in the back of the news. Oh, you who believe Stay away from suspicion suspicion sometimes can be a sin Sometimes you're about to make fun of a group of people. How how you're about to make fun of a whole nation And I know we've made fun of you a lot of the last two weeks And so therefore on my part that verse they don't pop up straight away But if you look for example as you're about to make fun of a nation Then you'll find a verse will pop up in your head. Yeah, you have nothing I'm an old liar I asked her common Minn common I say I couldn't hear him in home Yes, well now the moment that happens the Quran access a reminder for you in your life Number two number two some of us spiritually feel down. Yes Let's not deny it whether it's me whether it's you our spirituality is in peaks and troughs Sometimes we're buzzing Sometimes we just can't be bothered for anyone Sometimes we're dying to go to the mosque. Sometimes we want to stay away from the mosque Sometimes we're in the best moods. Sometimes we're in the worst moods. The Quran is a shifa for the chest of the human being When it says she fought the sedur, what does it mean? It means that it's able to provide us with a remedy for our spiritual illnesses When we're feeling moments when we're down Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will tell us It's corona as cork remember me. I'll remember you don't worry as long as there's a bit of remembrance on me Then I'll come and I'll remember you you take a step towards me my dear creation I'll take ten back towards you Those moments when I have a relation with the Quran when I see my Lord's telling me Remember me and I'll remember you When I am wondering how can I for example? Get a state of joy and jubilation while I'm in a state of sadness My Lord tells me let in shakartum Let as he done not go be thankful for the amount that I've given you. Don't worry. I'll give you more When I therefore look at these irons sometimes I'm feeling Really depressed at home things aren't going well for me. I need a pat on the back Then I see God say to the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him in his family Laiazun ka qawna. Don't let their words grieve you Even the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family their words would grieve him Allah says don't let their words grieve you don't worry like wise with us when we are down because people have attacked us or Something's gone wrong in our marriage or someone's gone wrong in our relationship or something's gone wrong in our business And the people are talking and talking and talking. We remember the word don't let their words grieve you when you have Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala you're already wealthy. Therefore number two The Quran is not just a reminder a reminder But the Quran also becomes a cure for all our illnesses and that's why Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says the secret is You reflecting on the words of the Quran you want when you're facing a trial or a tribulation Just contemplate over my words If I laiaa tadabbarun al-Qur'an Am'alaa quloobin aqfal oha today not ponder over this Quran or other heart sealed I want my heart on the day of judgment to be a heart, which is pure to be a heart, which is at peace Because that day Yom Alayyan fa'umalun wa la banun illa man at Allah be kalbin salim I don't want there to be a kufl a look on my heart Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala says Tadabbarun the Quran just sit and my dear brothers and sisters one eye of the Quran a day don't do more than that Start off with one eye because I know some people say you know what? I'm gonna read the chapter of the Quran today, and I'm gonna have a relation with the Quran one eye a day see the change Now Alina Jabut from Toronto. She says what's the simplest way to be a member of the Quran and you just mention Just one eye one way is for example to listen to my 114 lectures title the hidden Quran You know I had to throw that in I'm sorry everyone. I know it's cheesy, but it's available on iTunes a 114 lectures half an hour on each chapter of the holy Quran Why was the verse? Why was the chapter revealed? When was it revealed? What happened when it was revealed? 114 and You know what guys week? What else do you want us to do as an we've done this production? 114 Suras of the holy Quran and play in your car when you drive late in the car Today in the car. What's the name of those artists? You said people play in the car Jay Z and Sheikh Drake and What's the other one dr. Dre and dr. Dre and drag and and all these names for example No, why not play a reminder of the holy Quran? These are half an hour lectures That's a way in which you build a relationship with the Quran or start a Quran circle amongst your friends Some of the guys in our community. They're brilliant at coming together to play football and basketball and you know and other sports Seven ten fifteen of them will get together Why not try once a week or once a month to have a gathering and that gathering you get the holy Quran and All of you sit and you reflect on the words of the holy Quran I remember and the boys in London who are watching this will remember when we began in Haraka Haidariya, we begun that movement in London in the year 2000 to try and bring all the youth together for us to reflect on the teachings of the Quran and the Bayt al-Alam salam Every Friday night sometimes on Tuesday nights would get together pick a sort of the Quran and try as much as possible to reflect upon it Many of those youths went on to become leaders of the community Others went on to become speakers in the community others I'm sure it's helped them in their relationships in their life or in their studies as well So try and all of you get together and hopefully in these gatherings. You'll be able to reflect on the Quran now going into the historical Incidents Abidun and the Quran one was exactly revealed because a lot of people have different opinions on We have two concepts in Islam Revelation and there's the gradual revelation Revelation as a whole revelation as a whole and then and gradual The words are in Zal and Tenzin The 27th of Rajab the Quran was revealed Gradually step-by-step to the Holy Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family. I know that there are many people Who celebrate the 27th of Rajab? Because they believe that the Mi'raj of the Holy Prophet took place on the 27th of Rajab The 27th of Rajab is more significant Actually for the Mab'ath of the Prophet for the beginning of the be'athah the beginning of the Prophethood in terms of the Announcement in public of the Prophet Muhammad's message peace be upon him and his family. Yes, that's when The chapter of Iqra was revealed Someone asked the question if the 27th of Rajab is when the Quran and the chapter of Iqra was revealed Then how comes we read them the Quran in chapter 2 verse 185 Yes, shahru Ramadhan aladhi unzila fihil Quran Hudan al-naasi wa bayinat min al-huda wa al-forqan The holy month of Ramadhan, you know the Ahl al-Baitah don't say Ramadhan Say shahru Ramadhan For Ramadhan is one of the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Say the holy month of Ramadhan aladhi unzila fihil Quran Hudan al-naasi now If it's saying it's revealed in shahru Ramadhan. So what was the Rajab? Shahru Ramadhan laylat al-qaid In that month the whole Quran is Revealed into the heart of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family All of it all of it As The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family continues to spread his message The verses are revealed on a gradual manner. So the people can develop slowly and gradually If for example, let me give you an example If you now have the whole Quran revealed to the heart of the Prophet and he gives it to everyone says hey Everyone read it. No one can relate to it If however when the companions run away on the day of Uhud and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then reveals a portion Can you relate to it more because it's just been revealed at that moment. Yes There's no contradiction. It's as if I'm putting the hard drive in your heart But for the benefit of the nascent muslim community We're gonna do what we're gonna reveal the Quran step by step No contradiction between the two The holy prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family the moment an incident occurs straight away from the heart For example, he already has it stored. Therefore when he recites it It's recited in perfection There is no error in the recital whatsoever Jibrael will come with revelation at different moments For example an incident occurs When that incident occurs Allah reveals an eye of the Quran Does that mean the Prophet Muhammad is the first time he has the eye already it's in his heart It's a matter now of him simply if what's in his heart now has been revealed to him. He now announces it to the public Before this the public was not privy to that knowledge I'd have a side question. Sure. Go ahead. So if the prophet did know all of this Then I mean did know the Quran all that was revealed Then what's the point of jibrael coming descending upon him and revealing something if he he will know the future I mean knows the Quran. So he just mentions the ayah as something happens Jibrael comes with guidance From Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to tell him this is The moment for this ayah now to be said to the people. Would he know that or no? Sometimes jibrael will come Other times it doesn't have to be jibrael. He himself knows when there's a moment for that revelation to be given He would talk about that. I know the wahi is now about to be announced when there's a sudden feeling Of a weight on him Quran says in nasa nulqi aleika kaulan Thaqeela we are giving you a heavy weight Sometimes he would hear a noise Which would tell him that this is now when an ayah is to be revealed But jibrael Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala everything is programmed in perfection Allah swt's words the melaika have a role. They have a relationship between Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And the prophet muhammad peace be upon him his family Therefore jibrael aleyhi salam It's not going to be present at every single moment. There's a revelation sometimes. No Sometimes there's a feeling in the heart of the prophet muhammad where he will say the revelation there and then Sometimes jibrael's presence comes to provide with the guidance because even sometimes in the holy quran I remember an ayah in surat hud There's an ayah where it's as if Allah swt is telling the holy prophet peace be upon his family That don't worry about the message. You're gonna give them If you're hesitant to give it now Don't worry. Go ahead and give it In other words, there was always a constant guidance with him as the quran was being revealed to the people Now did the prophet become hilarious when he was revealing the quran on when when he was you know Telling the people about the verses and incidents or not. This sadly Is in islamic literature But in the school of ahl al-bayt, we completely reject this Those who say that when the prophet muhammad received his first revelation He went into a fit and hysterical and he wanted to commit suicide I have a whole lecture on the internet called The hysterical epileptic And that lecture looks at all these traditions that the prophet muhammad peace be upon his family Wanted to jump off the mountain And wanted to commit suicide and how in the school of ahl al-bayt and she thought We completely reject these traditions The prophet muhammad peace be upon his family already knew he was a prophet of god If jesus can know that he's a prophet of god When From the cradle from the cradle So the prophet muhammad peace be upon his family does not know he's a prophet of god The prophet muhammad knows he's a prophet of god. He was simply waiting For when the time would be where the announcement from the heavens tells him That now go out And recite the words of your lord Therefore those who try and mention that the prophet muhammad suddenly fell In a fit of hysteria. We completely reject this opinion We even reject this opinion That the prophet muhammad required confirmation From khadija's cousin warak bin nofal That yes, you are a prophet of god I'm the one who's telling you not at all The prophet muhammad years before he was a prophet in public Had already amongst his community Those who were very close to him had already known that he is the messenger of god of them abu talib Of them ali son of abu talib of them khadija to the cobra Now there's another Point of view that a lot of people use is that he was illiterate He did not know how to read nor write and it's sometimes it's mentioned in the quran Um me now that word did he actually know how to read and write or was it something, you know, new to him It's a great question if he knows how to read all right Meaning that the arab's Have seen him study at college x or university y Then they'll say he wrote the quran or they'll say that professor taught him the quran When we look in the quran one of the ulama gives this opinion and the scholars have had There are many discussions many arguments about the word um me Allama taba tabai when he looks at the word um me Which normally in english they translate as illiterate. Yes Where a better translation may be untaught Untought untaught Rather than so that illiterate. So it's not always negative. Not always negative. Let me explain Um means what? Um mother mother Allama taba tabai asked the question Why would allah use the word um me? To talk about the fact that the prophet muhammad peace be upon his family Was not known to have Read or written why use the word um. Can I guess? Go ahead from the motherland or from the mother nation or no? No, no some try to say um as an um Al-Qura some try to say that no, no There is that opinion you can't deny it.  Nobody Wants to feed you or educate you or see you brought up like your mom. She doesn't want anyone to do that except her.  He's saying like that mother Cannot bear to see anyone raise that child except her I don't want to see no one teach muhammad except me.  No human being It's not that the prophet muhammad couldn't read all right. He could but he was taught by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Therefore had the prophet muhammad publicly displayed moments of reading and writing they would have said he wrote the quran That's why there are certain incidents where the prophet muhammad peace be upon him and his family He points at the word but he himself doesn't write he gets imam ali to write When he gets imam ali aley salam to write, what's he telling us?  Allah could not bear to see no one raise muhammad sallallahu aley wali accept him Meaning that if there's any knowledge of how to read or write I'm the one who'll provide it for no professor. No college. No school because in arabia was known that there's only a handful of people Who know how to read or write there was no oxford or harvard or cambridge or Yale at the time. Yes The arab's most of their traditions was oral It wasn't a community of readers and writers Those people were trying to still accuse him even though they haven't seen him study under anyone They were still trying to accuse him that he must have studied somewhere abroad and copied their books and came and read Therefore when it comes to the area of um me It doesn't mean the prophet muhammad couldn't read or write He could but he was taught by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and nobody else Hopefully we continue that it's a huge discussion just on that one word and not sure we can probably continue it but During the time when the Quran was revealed there was a lot of persecution going on with the prophet and and with His companions and what happened to to his followers How did the Quran Help the people back then the prophet and his companions and where did they gather to get the The revelations and and and sort of well They would gather in the house of arqam And they would gather very very secretly because you know at the beginning they had to conceal their faith Yes, they had to wait a few years before the open proclamation At the beginning they had to conceal their faith and when they had to conceal their faith The likes of ammar bin yasir the likes of for example Um imam aleib na bi talib aley salam the likes of abdulllah bin masood and others very early group of companions They'd meet they'd congregate very privately Whenever an eye of the Quran would be revealed the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. He would sit with them And he would explain the verse of the Quran to them. Remember we mentioned how ammar bin yasir Returned home one day and his shoulder brushed the idol and when the idol broke His mother said look what you've done. You just killed god.  How could you worship a god that dies? When she asked him who told you this he said the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and then she asked him What else has he told you? He said Surat al-taqweer was just revealed For what reason was I buried alive When she heard this she began to cry he asked his father why is mom crying Because of her sister It's like because her sisters were buried alive now in that early part of when the Quran was being revealed Yes You couldn't exactly Come out publicly otherwise abu lahab and your um jameel and abu sufyan and utb abin rabi And these guys will be after you and they'll want to destroy you So what would happen would be that in the early days it was amongst themselves As now it became public While they would have people who would write whatever was being revealed Companions of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family would write whatever was being revealed Now they weren't writing it. Listen, they're not writing it using some stunning golden paper We have today or going to some publishing house You know, you might have to get parchments wood skin of animals and and write on there and keep it amongst yourself But when it starts to become a bit more public You find that all of a sudden the persecution begins Yes Because you can imagine that this prophet is now going around towards the people And now they can hear him recite that when they walk past his house They can hear him recite surat fussalat, for example, or hamim, you know You know, they can hear all these verses being recited. Yes as they're hearing these verses being recited Suddenly the antagonism begins. This man Is now changing our people Now speaking of the antagonism A lot of opposition happened and a lot of people began to persecute you as you mentioned Now, how did the Arabs take the sin? How did they accept it? Oh, they didn't accept it easily at the beginning and Abu Jahl could notice That the words of the Quran were not the words of a normal human being Remember when a prophet comes with a miracle that miracle is related to the speciality of the people of the time So when Moses came with magic, there were great magicians in Pharaoh's court their sticks With the mercury facing the sunlight would look like a snake is moving. Yeah Moses' stick became a snake finish Jesus there were great physicians doctors in his time of medicine But when he raises the dead and makes them alive or when he cures the leper or when he cures the blind, you're not messing with that. Yes The prophet Muhammad's miracle was the arabic language The arabic language the arabic of the Quran of the Quran The arabic of the Quran Had now broke broken the laws of prose poetry rhythm The syllable combinations were now destroying what was in front of them And when this was happening you can imagine that some of the aristocrats of meccan society Who were the best poets? We're now thinking what is this? Let me give you an example Abu Jahl saw Walid ibn al-Mughira Khalid's dad yeah, he saw Walid ibn al-Mughira looking a bit confused He said Walid, what's wrong with you? You don't seem yourself today. Yes He said I heard Muhammad's words And these aren't the words of a normal human being And I am the greatest poet in arabia Go ahead. Sorry. Yes, we have a call. Yeah, I'm going ahead from germany I was disconnected. Sorry. Say yes. Walid al-Mughira says I'm the greatest poet in arabia And no one can mess with my poetry. Yes, whatever he's reciting Is not the words of a human being. Abu Jahl noticed if Walid ibn al-Mughira becomes a muslim That's done. It's over in Mecca Walid ibn al-Mughira kids everywhere wealth slaves power Looks oratory, whatever you want in the complete man barring Humility and the love of god Abu Jahl said to him, are you sure?  Yes Believe you me. There are people out there who know the school of Ahl al-Bayt is the way to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala They won't accept because of their fame Yes, say now. Can we take this call from? Sure. I'm an assalamu alaikum. Sorry. Salamu alaikum If you can just Move away or reduce the volume of the television, please Hello. Yes. Hello. Salamu alaikum. Hello. Salamu alaikum. Welcome to the show Thank you very much. Salamu alaikum Sayyidina. Wa alaikum. Salamu rahmatullah Right. My question is um, you've said that the um, the Quran was revealed whole to the prophet on laylat al-qadr in Ramadan Now, I don't doubt that this is the case. However, if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Undescribes the some the actions of some people and events that might occur and these things could be subjective so people can change or they can repent or they can You know turn around Does that mean that they're just predestined to act that way or those events are just predestined to happen Um, since they've already been revealed in an aya Very good question. Thank you very much There's two answers to this very good question. Yes. The first one is Allah's foreknowledge Of what a person is going to do Is in a different dimension to the free will that he is giving these people. Yes When I have a student in my class And I tell that student that listen if you don't hand in your assignment, you're gonna fail There's an assignment. They have to hand in if they don't hand in they're gonna fail Yeah, my students like yes, so don't worry. I'll hand in I'll hand in Make sure you hand in make sure you hand in they don't hand in make sure you hand in. Oh, I will I will When they get to the exam, they haven't handed in that assignment But they're gonna come and do the exam thinking that they'll pass with flying cars I know they're gonna fail But do they fail because of my knowledge or because of their free will their free will Just because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala number one Knows what's going to be the destiny of every human being That knowledge has no effect on the free will rather one may even conclude Allah has knowledge of what will happen to every human being after he had given them the free will to make those decisions That's number one number two There is knowledge given to certain creations of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Unless you have the patience to bear that knowledge. Yes, it's not given to you. How many times In the Quran that's khidr. Remind mousa And they can learn to study my several you don't have the patience to bear what I'm going to show you Mousa says that I don't worry. Don't worry when he shows him something. It's like, what did you just do? It's like I told you have the patience Okay, I promise I'll have the patience. What did you just do? I told you that the patience Then at the end he says Okay Now I'll tell you What you never had the patience to bear when the prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family receives knowledge Unlike me and you who would abuse that knowledge He has the patience to hold it Without in any way abusing it Hence why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says I am aware where I put my message Many creations of Allah But the ones who he gives specific different forms of knowledge He is aware that when the prophet Muhammad knows is not not going to abuse it Nor is it in any way Going to affect him in his actions with those people There is also a third opinion in theology which we can discuss another occasion as to whether even that knowledge that he's given him Or given to an imam of Ahlul Bayt is actually Wiped away from them at that moment before the incident happens Ghaibat al-Muhaddath is something which can be discussed on another occasion now. We have another call from hamed from new georgia. Salam and alaykum How are you brother welcome to the show Sorry if you can just raise your voice Can I add to a quick Ziyara For the Ziyara we we do have a show in the morning for Sayyid with brother Hussain s.c. in a couple of hours inshallah you can join them. But for this show it's General Q for Quran and general q1a. So if you have a question you welcome to inshallah as well Thank you. If you can join say brother Hussain s.c. in the morning, that would be great. He will be waiting Yes Salam and alaykum. So my question is that uh, don't we have some narrations that mention the rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasallam Would write messages be it to the non-muslims be it to the christians Or to the romans or to the persians inviting them to islam don't we have such narrations So can't we uh say That the papa Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasallam knew how to read and write and in fact did write letters to other people with his own Blessed hands of course Don't we have such narrations and this is my question Thank you very much It's an interesting question and when you're looking at for example these letters There are scribes Who work for the prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family Who are the ones who are writing these letters on his behalf The hudaybiyya peace treaty and the treaty with the Christians of najran in mobahela were both written by imam ali ibn al-italib alayhi as-salam There were other scribes whose roles it was to be involved in writing letters towards The others of other religions the leaders of other religions or the leaders of other countries as well Sometimes a person may see the tradition says and the prophet Muhammad wrote to the romans The prophet Muhammad peace be upon him wrote to the romans and his family peace be upon him When he's writing the romans doesn't mean he's the one writing It says the prophet Muhammad wrote to the romans means that there's someone who's been employed as a scribe To write these letters now speaking of writing Who was the exact person that wrote the quran because there are a lot of people who say this person that person Who exactly wrote the quran imam ali ibn al-italib alayhi as-salam wrote the quran under the supervision of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him His family Abdullah bin mas'ud was of those who also was a scribe of the holy quran If you're looking at the two main scribes of the holy quran then without a doubt it's those two Now Did it look like exactly what we have today because we have You know if we look at the quran anyone who opens the quran would realize there's a ramadan verse there The ramadan verse there and then there's something about the sun there and the moon that Was it like this that we have today? The quran that we have today is exactly the same quran as was there from the time of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him And his family exactly if you're looking at for example You know the punctuations and the diacritics and the dots and so on No, then you have a development in these within the next 100 to 200 years But in terms of for example, when you're telling me the structure of the holy quran This is the same structure from the time of the holy prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, alayhi salam is the man who was taught by the holy prophet The exact order of the verses of the holy quran And he's the only one who has the knowledge of the order of every verse as it was revealed We know that for example the first of the verses of the holy quran surah iqra in which surah is that 96 But it's the first surah to be revealed The man who knows the order of the revelation of the verses Is of course the father of the ahl al-bayt, alayhi salam and then all his sons Now we do have another question from Muhammad Shah He says what about compiling the quran? The quran was compiled by Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, alayhi salam A lot of people say that it was someone else The quran was compiled in the shi'a view By Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, alayhi salam under the supervision of the holy prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family During the time of the holy prophet's life not after not after Our brothers in ahl al-sunnah have different traditions about for example It being compiled either in the time of abu bakar or in time of umar or for example That which is agreed upon is the codex of utman as per what we have today Yeah But in terms of us what the agreement on one codex for the community in the time of utman that we agree on In terms of the quran being compiled The quran was originally compiled in the time of the holy prophet peace be upon his family Of course the quran would go towards the lands of kufr the lands of basra the lands of kairu and then muslims all came together Years later upon the agreement on one codex However, the quran that we have is compiled in the time of the holy prophet peace be upon him and his family one of the proofs When the prophet says i leave behind for you the quran, how could you leave behind something which hasn't been compiled? In nitarakun fikum itha khalayn How could i come kitab is also something which is bounded with chapters in order everything in order. Yeah, yeah, yeah Secondly umar abdel khattab in the famous incident when the holy prophet peace be upon him and his family was on his deathbed And the famous incident known as the calamity of thursday. Give me a pen and paper I will write for you that way you will not go astray Some will say does that mean that he can read all right? He will instruct imam alayna bi talib to do the read to write And umar abdel khattab turns around and says you are delirious the quran is enough for us If there was no quran present at the time, then why would he say the quran is enough for us? We do have a call from brother ali from uh, sweden. Salamu alaykum Salam Said my question is the following uh, the verse from the quran 59 It says shortly we have revealed the reminder and we will most surely be its guardian So is this only talking about the quran or is prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam even him the reminder Yes, thank you very much. Surat al-ra'ad. I believe verse 59. Yeah, this is clearly in talking about the quran. Yes We have Revealed we have sent down the reminder and we are its protectors Protectors from a person deleting a verse From a person adding a verse Yes In the sense that This quran that we have with us today is the same quran that was there from the time of the prophet muhammad peace be upon him His family There is no doubt that the holy prophet muhammad is a noor. He is a vicar Everything that the quran is a guidance for mankind the walking quran is the prophet muhammad peace be upon him and his family Now speaking of tafsir You know a hand is in the zikr and the hafizun. There are a lot of people who try to you know Anatobs the quran and the exegesis of the quran and everything How did they know that back then? How did they what sorry? How did they look at it the tafsir? How did they do the tafsir? Did they have tafsir back then or no? There is a tafsir when a person comes to do exegesis of the holy quran A person may do tafsir bil-ma'thor or tafsir bil-ra'ih A person may perform A tafsir of the holy quran Where they look at the traditions of the ahl al-bayt al-salam on each and every eye of the holy quran You want to know the abrogated and the abrogated you want to know for example the Revelation you want to know the meanings and the explanations You want to know the reasons for why this was revealed on this day and that day meccan and madinan Everybody knows that it was with ahl al-bayt al-salam Or a person can start doing tafsir with their own opinions There were some who now started to give their own tafsir with their own opinions Some gave a scientific tafsir some gave a mystic tafsir We stick to the tafsir of the ahl al-bayt al-salam Now we do have a call from imtiaz uh from tanzin as-salamu alaykum Alaykum as-salam brother. How are you? Alhamdulillah. How are you? Welcome to the show Thank you so much Sayyidina ma'r as-salamu alaykum My question to you is regarding ayah ayah number seven from surah al-imran It says Sure chapter three verse seven of the holy quran Yes Talks of the fact that there are verses which are decisive say then we do apologize once like uh, there is a funeral going on So the mawakba procession is going around in honor of that person who passed away Uh of that martyr So if we want to continue or do you want to wait may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless the soul of the martyr who has passed away Chapter three verse seven of the holy quran says That there are certain verses. Yes, which are muhkem some are mutashab. Yes There are certain verses which are decisive and some which are seen as being Metaphorical analogous different words which are given and that those who have knowledge of all of these verses Is Allah and those who are in doubt with the knowledge from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala This refers to the ahl al-bayt alayhim as-salam The ahl al-bayt alayhim as-salam are the ones who have the knowledge of the ambiguous verses And they have the knowledge of the decisive verses Otherwise the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him his family would not have said That I leave behind for you two weighty things the quran and my ahl al-bayt There is not an eye of the holy quran But the ahl al-bayt are able to give you every meaning possible or the only meaning possible Yes, a muhkem ayah is one where you can only reach a conclusion on one meaning of it Mutashab there may be multiple meanings You find therefore That when you come towards the imams of ahl al-bayt they have knowledge of every eye of the holy quran Now say now if we can go to a short break and come back we are running out of time Time flies by with you say a baby. You're a time killer So our respective viewers do stay tuned for inshallah after the break We will get into the general q&a uh with dr. Saydah ammar an aqshawani We do apologize for the noises going around in the background So do stay tuned for you presented with live footages from inside the two holy shrines Do take advantage of those times to send your salutations and ask your requests and hajjats from these two Kings of karbala so to the break. We'll be back shortly In the sky of hall creation Those 12 holy words who are god's compassion translation Those 12 Whose brightness is for people full of miseries Those 12 Who have been Through Respective viewers welcome back. The countdown was a bit too early But yes, we are back live from the holy city of karbala and tonight is Thursday night second Thursday night in namadan. It is absolutely beautiful in karbala It's live the atmosphere is is flourished here. It's it's amazing I mean what better way to spend the second thursday night of ramadan in karbala and with with the special guest Saydah ammar an aqshawani saydina welcome back and thank you the birth of mohassan aislam coming up Very soon saydina Now we the discussions that we're going on on our facebook and on our messages They're all revolving around our topic today. Alhamdulillah everyone is in the quranic mood Getting close to the mid of ramadan So we'll get to answer a bit of general and a bit of sure the questions that are coming up Now did the quran one of the questions are did the quran challenge anyone to prove it wasn't the word of god How is this a miracle? Yeah, the quran the quran is the only book Of the revealed books that are in the world today that challenges People until today bring One chapter like just one There are many non muslims who speak arabic many non muslims who are experts in arabic. Yes There are professors of the christian faith Who will use the quran when it comes to even the perfection of arabic grammar So the quran has always set out this challenge and would you believe some of the experts When it came to the quran You would find that there were non arabes who looked at the profoundity of the language of the quran You know your siba ways your raqib al asfahanis You know these people are let's say persian origin But when they'd come and look at the words of the arabic of the quran and be mesmerized by it well But the quran has always set out this challenge and the challenge is still there until today Bring one verse like a verse of the holy quran many have tried and have failed dramatically Mm-hmm another question that we have said now, how can you spot the difference between a meccan and a median? Surah Well, there's no exact equation how you could spot the difference between a meccan and a median surah Normally people will look at the beginning of the verse If the one way if the beginning of the verse is ya ayyu hanas Then that's meccan and if it's the beginning ya ayyu al ladina amino because it's a community of believers That's medinian. Is that a scale or that is a possible scale? I'm not gonna say it's an infallible scale because I can show actually examples To the contrary, but I would say that's one of the best when I see ya ayyu al ladina amino I straight away think this is medina. This is a A new community of those who are trying to be believers However, we also have to understand that sometimes if the chapter is speaking about For example the pillars of religion, you know, that's meccan. You're working on towheed against shirk Working on explaining nubua and qiyamah. It's meccan And if it's for example speaking about the laws of the religion, that's medina There's a new muslim community salah, som, haj, zakat But you can't deny that there are many chapters out there Which are meccan revealed with medinian verses or medinian revealed with meccan versus within them Now this person says hamed says Salamun aleykum Sayyidina. How Has the quran been altered and what was the concept of Tehrif Tehrif. Yes, it's translated in English language as alteration alteration Tehrif has certainly occurred in the tafsir and the exegesis of the holy quran. Yes, no doubt That there are those who knew there were verses revealed about ahlul bayt aleykum as-salam And they completely changed the reason for the revelation I'll never forget chapter 2 verse 207 of the holy quran There are those who sell their soul For the pleasure of Allah Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan pays samarra bin jandu Yes, huge money To say that that verse is a prophecy about abdu r-Rahman bin muljam That when he kills aleem nabi talib he has sold his soul for the pleasure of Allah Wow Whereas that verse is in honor of imam aleem nabi talib aleykum on the night of Hijra for example in the opinion of some yes That there are those who sell their souls for the pleasure of Allah. That's an opinion Then there are other verses in honor of imam aleem nabi talib aleykum Which were blatantly altered in terms of what in terms of their Reason for revelation and they were given to someone else completely So is is the verse altered or is the meaning the meaning of the verse Exegesis of the verse the tafseer of the verse the interpretation of the verse Tahrif has taken place. Yes Someone might say well sometimes You shi'a Have a quran that's different to us and you have a sura called surat al wilaya I ask you come and look in the quran that we have. I haven't seen surat al wilaya I tell you what I wish there was a sura called surat al wilaya It certainly would help in a number of discussions Straight out in your face without the need to have a pure heart to see the path of aleem aleem salam But we don't have no sura called surat al wilaya Someone says for example You may have a verse of the holy quran and next to it. There's in brackets instead of umma a imma That in brackets is a tafseer Of the word umma not an addition to the ayah You know sometimes you have in some quraans. There's a small explanation next to the word. Yes, that's not an addition It's very interesting that if people want to go in the tahrif debate Where they say that you shi'a have altered Sayutah in his itqan has shown numerous occasions where companions of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family Say that some of the suras of the holy quran were much longer than they are today But I don't want to touch on that spot. Let's keep peace. It's the holy month of ramamah. It is it is. Let's keep peace on that Now another question When was the holy quran compiled? What year? Compiled during the time of the holy prophet peace be upon his family The moment he dies the compilation is finished. It's finished Ali ma'am aleem na bi talib is the person to go to to know the reason of revelation and the order of revelation Another question that we got from Muhammad Ali hussain he says There a lot of people ask me about where is imam ali mentioned in the quran Explicitly and it's it's a very hard question because he's not Are there any verses that have mentioned imam ali or point imam ali as you mentioned just earlier right now There's a hundred and twenty three thousand nine hundred seventy five prophets who aren't mentioned in the quran There's hundreds of thousand companions who aren't mentioned only zaid gets a mention What's interesting is That when there's a verse Which doesn't mention a companion but everybody's heard the story They automatically say yeah, that's that's companion. For example the companion of the cave. Yeah, we said prophet Muhammad wasn't the cave Allah, it's on sorrow. Fakhadna. Salah Allah. That's all I did a couple of Thani if name it home after the car chapter nine verse 40 If you do not give him victory will help him Allah will help him When the disbelievers forced him to leave He was the second of the two in the cave ask anyone who's the second straight away they say abu bakar Does it say abu bakar? It doesn't But does everyone believe it's abu bakar? Yes, does it say his name? No Why is it when it's abu bakar on the verse of the cave? Everybody has to believe When it's imam ali ibn abit talib on a certain verse everybody's like well, it's debatable. Well, the tafsir differs those who tell you That they have love of imam ali ibn abit talib as-salam But whenever there's a merit mentioned about him, they can't take it know that that person Is someone who has not understood the position of imam ali ibn abit talib and there are other things about them as well There are Hundreds of verses of the holy quran That have been revealed in honor of imam ali ibn abit talib as-salam, which he himself This is very important says this ayah was revealed about me Imam ali ibn abit talib isn't he the voice of truth in islam sunni and shia believe of course Is he gonna lie by saying that this ayah was about me? Of course not numerous sermons. He says this is the ayah That was revealed about me on that day on that afternoon on that night on this occasion on that occasion And there are many great books which have looked at the manaqib of imam ali and the verses that were revealed in his honor Another question that we have did the muslims respect the quran after the prophet died They certainly believed in the quran They went they went to people who did not have the knowledge of the quran And nor did they have the knowledge of the interpretation in the quran And they left the beacon of knowledge that was imam ali ibn abit talib as-salam imam ali ibn abit talib as-salam is the walking quran He smelled the glory of revelation from when he was a child following Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa ala I used to follow him Like the child of the sheik amul follows its mother Me and khadija were the third of the three with him You used to see the light of revelation and smell its fragrance And to round it all off on the day of safine Not only did they abandon imam ali, but they placed the quran on a spear on the spears. Yeah Muawiya ordered that a number of qurans were placed on spears Therefore did the muslims respect the quran the way the holy prophet said hold on to it next to the ahl al-bayt Sadly many neglected the teachings of the quran and the walking quran himself We do have sisters ahraq from iraq on the phone. Salam alaikum. Salam alaikum sayyid ammar Salam and alaikum Um, yes, I can hear you. Um, my question is regarding to the yes If you could message your question for to inshallah, we have general q1a Throughout the show inshallah, uh, so if you can't get through on the line do send in your question. Uh, now sayid nam uh, another question that we have, uh is Could jubra is still Give revelations after to the ahl al-bayt after the prophet died because it's a huge discussion On how the moment the prophet muhammad peace be upon him his family dies revelations uses that's it Could jubrail speak to non-profits? That's it. Yes mariam Koya, he communicated with her. Yes Likewise jubra eid could speak to the ahl al-bayt alaym as-salam to fathumat al-zahrat Now we have reached the end of tonight's episode inshallah We can inshallah continue The discussion tomorrow in the general q1a.
