Yes, welcome to your favorite segment all my favorite segment for that matter I go by the name of by muscle or it's by morning the social media platform and it's time for strength of a woman And we do this every single Wednesday from around this time till later run So today is a special day because I have a very powerful woman in studio with me But if I introduce a white 5 4 channel on Twitter white 5 4 underscore channel on Instagram and white 5 4 on Facebook All right. So this lady studied Her psychology at the University of Nairobi She got a job and then she decided to resign and start our own business. She go by she goes by the name Lois Kamano Karibusana Thank you so much for having me You're so excited Yes, there's a reason to be excited. I'm excited as well But before we get into that into it your camera is number four So if I missed anything, I like to give everybody an opportunity to introduce themselves All the AK is they have all the credentials. They have if their CVs are as long as your vice-chancellor or your former vice-chancellor Number four, okay. My name is Lois Kamano and founder of modus collection and I studied Canceling psychology in the University of Nairobi. I'm equally certified same language interpreter Yeah, and this is about it. This is something you studied in school sign language interpretation Yeah, I'm actually a certified.  All right. Yeah, so my sign language interpreter Today is Lois Kamano Let's get it. All right, so Did you always see yourself doing business or in business? Oh, no, let me just tell you about it The moment I entered the University of Nairobi, I decided you what all my circle my family they're all entrepreneurs my parents So I've seen the struggle of entrepreneurship There's no way this is not for you. No, no, this is not for me Kids somewhere exactly I go and have some counseling with some children because I intend in so many Hospitals dealing with children. So that this is it But until you finish your internship you try look for jobs. They're not there All right, you termic day and night. There's nothing so this was your motivation to get into business. Yes You know not motivation per se they can push they can push. Yeah, all right So we thank the government for not having jobs. That is why they have more So you get into invest you study psychology sign language and you got a job for a while Yeah, but actually It wasn't a job in the field It was a job in a real estate firm where we used to do something totally different from what I said But when you desperate anything goes by so got a real estate job where I used to be in cells So technically you're in the malls in the streets advertising Day night. Yeah, all right. So then later you figured you found a niche for yourself All right, the story that leads up to you opening modest is very interesting You used to be a retailer online. Yes. All right. What were you selling online? So the journey began back in 2016 for modest collection Initially, I used to go to a ceiling and get some clothes take photos and try sell But say becoming a challenge because you don't have a shop. There's no capital The shops in Nairobi in the city are very expensive. Yes. I had a guest yesterday told me about something called Goodwill Yeah, what is this good road? Goodwill. It's about millions of money Spiralizing a lot of youths are out. You cannot afford that way straight from school. There's no you can afford a stall in the city So what happened after that? I got insights on how even to import some commodities So that's why now the journey started staring up. I started importing bugs and I will take photos with my own phone and Post them online. Let me tell you the first three months No call. No call. What's up? No call. No nothing.  So anyway first forward After selling them for quite some time things are picking up But now you find I cannot do all the deliveries by myself and they have time frames So for example, you get one orders in Mombasa Road, then it's in Thicard. How will you meet the time limits?  So I realized this is actually a problem Most of us are facing Why can't I be the solution? All right. So most people who are selling online had the same problem. Yes, all right from the people who are selling pastries Yes, Kiki's enough because you may want a car Enough come on you come on she and also the issue of money Amanda Melipua Where will you remove your border border guy? But now for us now, I decided you know what? It's time to bring a turn around bring professionalism So you got your first motorbike I got my first motorbike through a lot of hustle Obviously, you don't have the finances by that time you approach your bank. You don't have the money So you have to fight But all in all things went through and so far so good so far so good. So Maybe you won't tell us how many motorbikes you have as it now But why did you go the direction of buying your own motorbikes rather than just The uber way where you get people with bikes brand them and sell them the dream What I don't like about the uber guy This thing the application once you've requested you're getting someone random not someone who's personalized or anything So you're not guarantee the service to your customer will be a hundred percent. All right. That is a very good point right there But what I actually meant is why did you actually go the way of buying your own bikes and in this business rather than just People with bikes already to come and then train them and then sell them the dream and then brand them For me I took a different approach because I want everything personalized and to have control of everything Because that's the only way where you can empower what you have to the other people. Yes All right, that is how you can control and make sure there's the highest quality exactly You have to be in control. All right. So where did the name come from? Well, it's collection. I needed something classy, but class was already taken Most of fashion stuff was already taken. So I thought if I can mix modest and style was the definition It's modest. All right having the class but in a stylish way I love that. Please share with them your social media handles You're personal and the business ones so they can check it out. Why we have this conversation. Oh, yeah Actually, you can check out like right now. It's a Facebook. Lois Kamanu Instagram Lois underscore Kamanu Then also you can follow us on our official page modest underscore collections. Yes All right, you're personal my fans one of Lisa. What about your personal? Okay, what exactly about personal your personal Instagram that is yellow is Lois underscore Kamanu. You had it straight from the horses round. So she's supportive. All right Back to the matter now. So Right now you're into the delivery business only you don't retail. No, you just deliver. Yes All right, what are some of the challenges you faced in this? Since you got your first bike to now delivering because people always want to complain about something. Yes, obviously The number one problem with this fielder is actually our county government We pay a lot of fees to operate in the city right now And apart from that even if you pay them the fees you still meet them on the road You know, you've not really made so much during your day sometimes, but they still want Something, you know, all right, why don't you just cook a lot of tea? All right, so this issue of corruption is really affecting your business. It's it's really on the high side Yeah, it's very annoying because you wonder why should you pay for the fees and yet get harassed, you know So it's something actually feel like the county government government should actually really Focus on it help us because we just young people trying to help even other young people But the moment every day you have sagas you have tea. It's very easy to give up It's too much. It's too much. Corruption is one challenge you are facing.  The other challenge is this one. I'll speak personally as an employer We find we have so many unemployed youths But finding the right people is actually a very big challenge people with a zeal cause, you know, young put this This they think stuff comes easy Nothing comes easy. They want to bet they want to bet they want to do, you know easy stuff You just want to chill at home and do is it stuff online?  All right, the last challenge I don't want to focus on the challenges so much Another challenger Obviously meeting the demand sometimes. It's a bit hectic. All right, it's 24 hours. No, no We don't talk 24 hours opening from around 8 30 to 9 around 6 6 30 depending with the demand of the day So also as a young person having the workforce. You don't have so much muscle But you have to keep pushing at the end of the day. There are two ways about it.  It's so cute. You don't need to get a Exactly. So I'm encouraging so many women to get something. Everybody has an idea But the starting is a problem. So I'm encouraging many women. I have a lot of people who inbox me for encouragement for Business advice. So I'm actually very soon. You're writing a book. I see Hopefully So I have many women Not even men who are very young They need advice on how to progress online how to steer fast your products online So those are the kind of target people who I want to influence at this time All right So working with women to encourage them to start their own businesses that you are going to support All right, maybe A woman who rides a bike in future Um, you have not found one yet Of the for employing I'm actually searching for one right now. If they're watching they should actually reach out We have to gonna cause him That's what I'm gonna cause you most modest collection is looking for a woman who can ride a bike And work as a delivery person. Yeah, that's all. Yeah The first one ever. I think I've not seen any No, it's actually that they're actually there but they're very few they're very few Yeah, but I'm looking for one you're looking for even one Even one not just one So if you're watching right now, be sure to contact modest collection If you're a woman and you can ride a bike and you think you can deliver You see what I did? Yeah All right, so Back to the matter now You obviously walk into boardrooms. Yeah, you've tried to sort partnerships. Yes. All right What are some of the stereotypes that you hate when you walk into a boardroom as as a woman? And you're trying to sell a dream or you're trying to sell something from modest collections What are some of the things that you face that you hate? There's a notion now But right now it's actually I feel like it's not so much like some while back when I began Especially in this delivery field People don't think you have to know how about a bike or how this thing should work They don't think like you can handle it. You can handle the pressure So most of the time you find before you speak in a boardroom people have the you know, can you handle this? Can you really let's see what you can do But now if you have the content once you speak up and once you believe in yourself because that's how it starts This is the second time i'm hearing this. You're so the best defense for a for a queen in business Is what you have upstairs? Exactly. Knowledge. Exactly. Knowledge is your first you are telling everything You're asked to know plus confidence because you're very confident when you're presenting this knowledge. Yeah, all right talking about knowledge now What what is the importance of just doing your research and do you get to do your research most of the time? Yes, I read a lot. You read a lot. Yes, I read a lot Where do you get your content from the content that you read? Mostly online I listen I like listening to like jakma people who've used online to steer fast their dream to the next level So you need people to look up to exactly like your idols or What do you call that? Rural models. That is what I'm looking for. So you need role models. You need to be reading a lot Need to be reading a lot. I also like Interacting with my colleagues or other my employees with my colleagues I like talking to them.  Yeah, they're my colleagues. We're working together Okay, okay. Yeah, I like interacting with them modest for you. Yeah Yeah, so I like interacting with them because they actually know so much More than what you can think because for me, I'm in the office handling things But they in the field they in the field. So my experience and the experience is very different But you need the experience for this business to work for me to also draw it to my business Yeah Okay, okay. This is amazing. All right, so uh modes of payment What modes of payment are you incorporating technology this modern day technology and the ways that you get paid These days, uh, especially if you look at our handle modest collection We don't encourage cash because it's not safe number one And so many things are involved when someone has cash. So we're using our till numbers We're also encouraging so many online sellers who have not acquired their till numbers They actually do it because the safe platform where you cannot get conned and where you cannot also How can I say it? This you have this credibility Because once you're paid 200 how you remember two weeks from now that you're paid 200 today So it's good for accountability to have these platforms that are not physical because you can always go for your statements And check them. So accounting is very important as a person in business. Exactly wonderful right there Right. So white white 5 4 channel on twitter white 5 4 underscore channel on instagram and white 5 4 on facebook Is the way to interact with us. Don't forget the hashtag queens Wednesday Don't forget the hashtag strength of omen and don't forget to tell us where you're watching us from so we can give you guys a shout out all right, so, uh Yeah, we have topics that we were talking about in the intro and I like to get your Perspective on this because one affected one was affecting a child and the other one was affecting senior citizens But before we talk about that as you prepared to talk about that you have been nominated for an award already Yeah We're super excited But still nervous because we don't know that we're going to win. This is the business Kenya awards for the sms Actually voting is ongoing right now. Tell them how to vote on bakura. Okay Now modis collection has actually been nominated under the transport and logistics category So it's in my handle lois kamanu or in uh, both facebook and instagram You will find the link there go vote for us It will actually make a difference not only for us, but also for other young people who are coming other young people in business All right, so how did you get the did you first get the news that you've been nominated?

All right. All right. Yeah, so your fans and your colleagues Like nominated. Yeah, I was not aware about it. You were not aware. So this means you're doing something right We're trying you'll try All right, so what are the what are some of the importance of these these awards or these accolades? Actually, they actually still how can I put it? Let me find the right words for it They give a vote of confidence That is the perfect I feel like you're doing something and it encourages you when you see yourself motivating other people But how I've just told you I don't want to just for myself I want to show someone somewhere you can come from somewhere. Don't sit down and wait for your capital Need to wake up. You need to do something as long as you put yourself outside there Someone will support you. Someone will support you and to silly. I can't see all the time. We've been crying too much Yeah, so many young people saying that I can't see I can't see stop sitting down Stop sitting down. Stop being scared because that's something I've seen Stop being scared. Go outside. You never know who's watching. Go outside. You never know who's watching right now You're operating within Nairobi, Nairobi county. Are there any plans to take it outside now? Definitely We have plans underway to actually venture in Tikal now Then we can now move to cost and also Eldorette, so we have teams there who are doing their research So to see how people have embraced the online Marketing and online business in other cities apart from Nairobi because you can only thrive where people are buying online Exactly. All right. So you need to do your research first. You need to do your research research is very important All right. So do you outsource for these these services of Research or it's within the team here? It's both ways We have people who we actually give the assignment Because sometimes we will not be able to travel for especially myself or my colleagues But even myself I take the assignment especially I travel a lot. So I talk to the residents. I talk to the people So it's always a teamwork. You cannot do it by by yourself. Thank you very much Lois Kamano, I still have some tasks for you But before we get to the task So I'd like to address some topics that we talked about we talked about this morning in our intro And we had a 10 year old girl. Was it 10 years joy? 10 years a 10-year-old girl at Nairobi women's hospital was sexually abused by a lab technician at that at the hospital So the story is quite sad She the the technician woke up in the middle of the night Took out some room and telling her that he was going to treat her then started massaging her and started touching her in Whatever places and then did whatever it did. This girl was smart enough to go to the nurse that was on duty immediately and Claims were found to be true. This guy's license has been taken away And uh investigation are going on. So as a person who is working with kids, what do you have to say about this? Some of the topics actually are really dear to my heart Because in the fact that I've told you interacted so many women I've realized so many women have gone through so much But very few have come out. So actually that's a topic. I look forward to in the future To actually look into it because it really saddens me. It saddens me that so many things are happening But people are scared. So coming out is very important. Coming out is very important But it's very scary at the same time. It's very scary at the same time. Exactly. So what would you tell somebody like me? People will obviously assume Uh There will be stigma if I come out. So how am I supposed to Show them that I'm not going to stigmatize them because they are already going to assume that I'm going to stigmatize them So how how can I support for a gentleman like like myself for a gentleman like yourself? Uh, how I would actually answer that question I feel like it's also good. We take the initiative to ourselves come up with forums where we can always meet We don't have to meet in public Come up with support forums that we can encourage each other community based. Exactly Because it's at the personal level for you to be able to come over to the public. All right So as a woman in business, do you think financial or economic freedom can reduce these cases of sexual abuse in women? If women are economically empowered, do you think it's going to reduce? Yeah, I feel like Um, the moment that you economically empowered That thing brings out your confidence Because the moment that you can afford a lawyer. Yeah But there's a power that comes when you're economically stable or the moment that you're interacting with people because there's no you can be economically Somewhere and not interact with people. So this interaction is so many people actually help someone So the more women that we bring in The better it is because these are the same women who have gone through things So it's the same same women who are going to bring out others who are hiding below. Thank you very much for that message Psychologists by training from the university of Nairobi. So it's very incredible right onto our next story And this one was about a couple A very senior couple in the in the states.  These unwanted plants in your garden. What do you call? Huh the weed Weed or you know weed has definitely has been Has been tarnished in the streets, but these this chemical kill is used to kill the weeds So it has a certain chemical that Allegedly causes cancer So they went to court to say they've been using this product for a while and they blame the their cancer on this Product the jury gave them two big two billion dollars In punitive damages and 58 million in compensation What do you think about this particular story two billion dollars? In a basis where is it true? Yes That is For them to give for the jury to do that the lawyer had to prove beyond reasonable doubt That this particular thing was the cause of their cancer Two billion dollars. They're senior citizens 58 million dollars in compensation Maybe everybody has their own perspective, but I feel like such money could have been put into Maybe cancer treatment or such kind of forums Because once you compensate them, are you sure that they're going to use that money to actually Heal or empower anybody for me? I I don't think The company should be charged To do something about cancer not to put all that money But that is why I think there's 58 billion for their compensation and two billion for punitive damages So two billion I think is going to go for which is fair enough, which is fair enough All right. So the reason I ask this as a person who owns a business. Do you think? Business owners or employers should always have responsibility for the actions I think you should have responsibility for your actions Because in my own perspective They obviously every company has its own terms and regulations But the moment a fault has come in Don't move away Because the moment something good was said you were there the moment something bad was said Always owner. Thank you very much Lois Kamanu CEO and founder of modest collections just remind them how they can get you online And how they can get to work with you and please search for that first lady who's going to be delivering You're actually looking for that lady So you can actually get us lois kamanu on facebook on instagram lois underscore kamanu And uh in instagram modest collection Facebook modest collection and we're also on twitter Yeah, our contacts are there reaches out if you have any inquiries inbox There is always a team ready to serve you there's always a team ready to serve you at modest collections So today my sign language interpreter of the day is lois kamanu So we are going are you ready for this?

Alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salam ala Rasulillah amma ba'ad assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters welcome to the ta'weez project Alhamdulillah today we have ustad abd rahman Hassan with us um we've been getting a lot of questions online on the facebook page and through our email from a lot of you guys out there um wanting to know more about the issues of ta'weez um and basically we want to try and clarify some of the doubt with regards to the issues that you guys have been raising and sort of help understand the questions um so ustad abd rahman is going to try and help us with that today inshallah before we get started inshallah can you first and foremost sort of define what a ta'weez is um for the people for the people that don't know inshallah festival gives you gives you guys I mean in the project that you're doing inshallah which is a good cause purifying the people from this shit concept definitely and et cetera the first question that you asked me was sort of if we can sort of set the groundwork set the foundations of what a ta'weez is what entails what is what isn't a ta'weez you know has it got any other names or that people might know it by um and et cetera the ta'weez is that which somebody wears it either it can either be a some people they wear rocks somewhere they bones some might even just be a string differs from person to person they made different things but if a person wears it uh or is worn to to get rid of an evil eye okay like a protection a protection if the person believes that this thing which they are wearing right now is actually protecting them then this becomes shirk akbar it's a major shirk if they actually believe that this ta'weez or this tamima and the plural is tamaaim in which they are wearing if they believe that this can actually remove the evil eye or get rid of the evil eye or protect them then this is shirk akbar okay but if the person believes that this is a means it's a wasila i don't believe this can remove or protect me but i believe it's a means of protection then this is minor shirk like a medicine medicine okay medicine the means is actually proven okay by tajruba experiment um but the tamima by the religion we've realized that it doesn't do anything it doesn't help you it's not proven to be a means okay so if sorry if somebody says you know i wear this thing for uh helping me in my business for good fortune to increase me in my wealth or for example a husband or wife you know who've been suffering problems and they've been arguing a lot so they go to see somebody and they you know they get given this ta'weez or i mean has it go any other names in arabic it's called ta'weez the Somalis they call it hersi okay um the arabies they call it tamaaim and in the uh yeah uh asian they call it ta'weez okay the hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and he said in the ruqa and tamaaim and tiwala shirkun the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said these three are shirk the tamima that the person was the ruqa which is the ruqya which is that consists of shirk in it and the tiwala which is that the spell that the woman asks for her to be placed on her husband so we can have love for her or that which she herself is placed on so her husband can love her or the vice versa this is called tiwala all of them are shirk so it can either be major shirk which is if that person is actually wearing it for their business they are wearing the tamima so they can get their business flowing and they believe that this can do it then this becomes shirk akba they leave the religion because of it and if they believe that no allah is the one who makes my business flow but i'm only wearing this as a means then in this situation it becomes a minor shirk and allah knows best so just to clarify that point before we move on inshallah potentially somebody wearing this would it mean that that person would have to retake the shahada or re-establish the islam is it something that bad that it can make a person a kafir or not a muslim anymore now the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he himself is saying that it is shirk and anything that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam refer to it as a shirk then you can see the danger and the seriousness of it so one has to abstain and be as far as possible as they can and that's what we would also need to remember the hadith which he narrated in his shua'a bil iman that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he said okay so anything which allah has made haram there is no cure in it for us our cure we can find it in the halal things so trying to find a cure whether it's for your business whether it's for your career whether it's for your children whether it's even for yourself and your health trying to look for it in that which allah is prohibited is actually only going to increase your illness and that is the hadith in which the noble companion and imran ibn hussain radiallahu ta'ala anhu that he came to the messengers sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and he had it in his in his arm he was wearing a a string on his arm okay so he came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and the prophet then said to him woe be to you what is this that you're wearing why are you wearing this what's the course to it and then he said ya rasoolallah i'm wearing it from the wahina which is a form of illness okay it's to protect me from this illness the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he said inna ha la taziduka illa wahana this thing that you're wearing it does not increase you accepting weakness you're going to only become weak from wearing it and then the prophet recited on saying to him sallallahu alaihi wa sallam lo mita if you died imran if you were if you died wahiya alaika and this thing you're wearing was on you maa aflahta abadan you will never have found success and prosperity ahman narrated that it so the person who's wearing it needs to realize that whatever you're looking for you're not going to gain it whilst you have this thing on you get rid of it and that's why the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he ordered him to destroy it and to get rid of it sallallahu alaihi wa sallam so from anywhere from the sunnah you're saying that there's nowhere from the sunnah of the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam where he advised us to wear these kind of things or um spoke about them except in telling people to destroy them and get rid of them and speaking about them as being shirk and that's not only what he said sallallahu alaihi wa sallam because our understanding in the religion is also taken or the way we practice our religion is we base our what the prophet says or what he does on how the companions understood it very important it's very vital that we look at that so the companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam understood the danger and the seriousness of it as well because when they saw that Haum in different situations him prohibiting it speaking against it rebuking it scolding those who were wearing it they realized how dangerous it was and here you see Abdullah ibn al-Mas'ud al-Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu he came into the house and now he came into the house and he saw his own wife his own wife and when he saw her on her neck she was wearing it and then he he took it off her neck and he ripped it off and then he said to her did the family of Abdullah ibn al-Mas'ud after Allah gave them something and they made her made them rich and Allah gave them risk are they going to wear this are they going to associate partners with Allah rather he said are they going to associate partners with Allah and you should be Allah ma lam yunazil bihi sultana so the sahab is also understood that this act of wearing the tabima and the tamain is shirk or the ta'weez is shirku billahi al-Ali al-Azim like you understand some people they say obviously we've had many messages about these issues and some of the the viewers will be able to relate to this that some people say that if the the the thing that they're wearing you know it only contains the Qur'an or the kalam of Allah or maybe you know the names and attributes of Allah inside of it and you know they say that their the imam or their mufti or their maulana has has given this and advised them to wear this for for the things that we've mentioned for wealth and good fortune and etc that there's permissibility in this from the sharia and they also claim that you know there are evidences from some of the companions where they would they would wear this I mean is there anything good now in this issue of the tamima in which to stay where the taba'i will be on the Qur'an the tamima the ta'weez yes wearing it and it has the Qur'an on it or has the words of Allah in it or etc what's the ruling pertaining to this now the sahab of the companions of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam amongst themselves and the people of knowledge generally speaking on it is it permissible or is it not permissible there's a difference of opinion some said it's impermissible and others they said it is it is permissible now we have to now realize if there's a khilaf there's a difference of opinion what did the Qur'an instruct us to do Allah says in the Qur'an if you differ upon a matter and you have difference of opinion so every difference of opinion every argumentations that we find we always have to bring this issue back to the Kitab and the Sunnah and the answers would be then inshaAllah ta'ala the Qur'an or the Sunnah when we look at it we find that the argument or the the side that says that it's impermissible to use the tamima that has Qur'an in it is stronger okay and this is not this is the view held by abdullahi min al-muz'udra radiallahu ta'ala anhu it is also this hold a view held by abdullahi min al-Abbas hudayfa timbunia man held that hold that held that view rukba timbuna aamin held that view as well imran ibn al-Hussain also held that view and other companions they all held the view that is haram okay and they are stronger without a doubt so why are they stronger and how are they stronger three reasons i'll summarize it why they're stronger number one is the prophet alaihi salatu wa salam he did not distinguish between the tamima that has Qur'an in it and the one that doesn't have Qur'an the prophet didn't it's general whenever he prohibited it was always general okay he said in the ruqa and tamaaim and tawala tamaaim is general i'm restricted when the prophet prohibited it from imran ibn hussain he didn't say imran you're wearing it something in your arm what is it you're wearing let me see is it quran on it he didn't ask and the scholars they say the prophet to clarify a matter at a time when it's needed is obligatory on him so if it was the if the if this issue right now yeah it needed distinguishing the prophet would it be the one that who does what he could have clarified alaihi salatu salam he said look it's not all haram there was this and that he would have clarified it the fact that he did not clarify like that and he left unrestricted we have to leave it unrestricted that's number one so no companion could come and specify what the prophet unrestricted number two is saddu tharaya we have to close the door that's going to lead to shirk and we and what you tend to find is that these tamaaim that people wear a lot of them are being fooled and tricked to think that what they're wearing it has quran in it and so the sharia has a concept which is saddu tharaya the doors that lead to something are closed that's true actually because that's a lot of the time that's what we find that people will contact us and they'll say we we've been given this thing but it's just got quran you know um like when they actually open it and they look for themselves um and mashallah alhamdulillah uh you know more and more people now they're taking the challenge they're they're they're they're making the the effort and they're they are getting the courage they're gaining the courage they're seeing more and more people do it and they're more inclined to open it themselves and alhamdulillah there's videos out there um some of the links will be below um on how to you know destroy a taawid um like and this is what we're finding someone's that I've been told they's quran but when they open it they find it's not exactly you know so and the thing that we also have to realize is that the sharia has a concept which is the ruling is it revolves around the majority it doesn't revolve around nadir things that are rare that happen the majority of the people are wearing shirk and we fewly find a few people who are wearing quran maybe but the majority the overwhelming majority are wearing shirk on it and numbers and boxes and codes and stuff that we don't understand yeah so the second reason as I mentioned was said the third point sorry is the people who are wearing it they go into places which are filthy like toilets um the thing that is in a lot of times is left dirty if there is even quran written and it's it's left dirty it's not cleaned it's not well looked after and then it leads to the verses of Allah to become people in the filthy dirty places belittling belittling in it and the quran of Allah is one that we were told and we were ordered to honor the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so those three main reasons alone show the opinion of the scholars who held that is impermissible to even have quran written on it on it are stronger and Allah knows best marakallu fi qustad so one of the other questions we get is um a lot of people they find because you mentioned it earlier boxes um the quran being translated into I think it's abjud numbers or some some kind of number system where people don't actually write the quran they write numbers instead um and essentially we're asking is this permissible does this have a basis within the religion um does this have a basis within the sharia and and you know if you could elaborate on that inshallah again no this has no basis that the fact that the quran is then converted into digits and numbers this is the kutab of the quran the fortune teller is the magicians this is what they write the kanamum that's their speech and it's codes that they use for the shayateen a muslim now who believes that that this is the quran where does it say in the quran basmala is the quran seven eight six seven eight six where where where basis has has that got in the sunnah that the sahabets ever understand it like that we find it in the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that to be added on the scholars who said that even the scholars who said that it's permissible that it's permissible to use the quran as a tamima they said it has to be clear that it's the quran okay it has to be clearly written okay it's not even just that the quran they book conditions down that it's an ayah from the quran it's clearly written it can be seen everyone can read it so it's not even if it's written but it's written in a scribbled manner hata it's not permissible according to the ones we say so what if it's written but it's written and then a lot of the time we find they wrap it and they they make they fold and fold and fold and fold into a very small little sort of a thing and then they wrap it with plastic and tie it and and then put it into the leather pouches okay this is the one you open it all up and you look at it do you find the quran written clearly can your eyes see probably 95% of the time from um you know i would say hundreds of cases that have been sent to us 99% there's no quran you know very few a few percent will find the actual quran is there but even when it's written it's like you say it's scribbled it's not clearly written like you find in the most half like neat and no the scholars they say it has to be clear because it has to be seen it has to be you know that it's a verse from the quran okay with those conditions stipulated put there then and only then those who say it's permissible then they argue it's permissible on those bases but then none of them has ever said on those who said it that it's permissible for you to use the quran none of the scholars from the sahabas said you can put it in codes or numbers so finally we'll start i think to wrap it up obviously you've given us some good evidences in terms of the tawis and what it is and you know um what the sharia perspective on it is like him let's say for example um for the the people at home watching this video i'm thinking of taking a tawis off you know i've been wearing it somebody gave it to me and i used to suffer from headaches for example or i'm a husband or you know there's a wife who's found it's bought peace within the household and i've seen all the evidence and i want to take it off but where does that leave me you know i've had this thing and it's done great for me so what can i do you know in terms of guidance from uh allah and the prophet saslam what do i do next you know what should how can i protect myself now this concept of getting rid of it and destroying it is the first step that the person needs to take once now that you found out the ruling and you know what allah tabarak wa ta'ala has commanded you and that which he has told you or the prophet sasam has said to you a believer has no other choice except to submit and i can't believe it when i'm a believer if allah is messing with your command a matter you have no other choice except to submit you have to follow and adhere in this situation you have to follow that which allah tabarak wa ta'ala has said and the prophet in this issue and that what is it that allah is messing with you have commanded here is that you get rid of it the prophet told imran ibn husayn throw it and destroy it yeah so our brothers you've put a process where the people who are wanting to take it off a process and inshallah ta'ala which you will explain to them later in which they need to take in order to get rid of it the person has to straight away get rid of it yes the prophet didn't say to imran think about it pray his tukhara on it you know what discuss it he didn't say that he said throw it get rid of it the same ibn alaym ala mis'ud didn't ask his wife what why he didn't talk to her he just ripped it off yeah so to get rid of it yeah if your family members are wearing it and you have power over them like you have power over your children and what rip it off okay rip it off and get it if you're a doctor and patients are coming to you and they're wearing this and you have power inshallah and there's nothing there's not a harm coming to you from it then cut it off you see but what do we give the people now the alternative that the sharia has placed a lot of these people that you see doing this they don't even read ayat ul kursi which is the greatest verse in the Quran yeah when the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam it's told it told the sahabi al jaleel ka'abun maalik when he told ibn ka'ab you know do you know the greatest verses in the Quran they don't even read ayat ul kursi when they go to sleep they don't even read the mu'awwi the tain when the prophet got sick from the magic that was placed on him what did he do did Allah tell him to take tawheez and tamain or did Allah tell him to come on the prophet to recite the mu'awwi the tain it was commanded to recite they don't read those the du'aad the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam was told that the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam said you finish his sleep and he's over with his sleep he should say The person makes these atkab. You have the small book, Fortress of Muslim, written by Sa'idah. Looking at that book alone, you get all the du'as that you need to do daily. That book was named after the fortress of a Muslim. That book is hadith in which the Prophet SAW told us that the one who makes these du'a is like a person who ran from an enemy and he got into a fortress. And the fortress is to protect you. The atkar is like that. The one who makes these atkar, he's the one who's going to be what? He went into this fortress and he's away from his enemy. It's like a god, and the Prophet would do that for his grandsons, Hassan and Hussain, when they would come, he would say, He would make this for them. Never did he say, where tamai man, where this and where that. So our guidance is, The Prophet is in him, is a great example and a great role model. Reading these atkar and reading these things is what he commanded his companions. Blowing it onto your hands and then wiping it over your own body. Reading the Quran on yourself, these are insha'Allah the ways to cure yourself and to gain the good that you're looking for. Insha'Allah. And placing your trust in him. With that, a shadow of a doubt. Your heart is connected to who? To Allah, Tabar-u-Ta'ala. And that you also believe with unwavering conviction, the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mus'abbath, in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, يحفظ الله, يحفظك. يحفظ الله تجيته تجاهك. إذا سألت فسأل الله وإذا استعمت فاستعمل بالله. وعلم أن الأمة, لو اجتمعوا على أن يفعوك بشيء, لم يفعوك إلا بشيء قد كتابه الله لك. وإن اجتمعوا على أن يضروك بشيء, لم يضروك إلا بشيء قد كتابه الله لك. رفعت الأقلام وجفت الصحف.  Follow the orders that you were given.   Allah is here to listen to you and obey your calling. Eat halal and make sure your rizq and that which you're eating is halal.  So all these are things that we need to take into consideration. All of these things are things that we need to follow and we also need to believe that no one can benefit us except if Allah has written it for us. And no one can harm us except if Allah has written it for us. And our trust and our belief and itimad, reliance is Allah alone. Anything which I have said that is incorrect is from me. And Shaytan and Allah's Messenger are free from it. SubhanakAllah wa bi hamdik ya Shadu Allah. Astaghfiru qatubu liyyah. JazakAllah khayr ustad. Barak al-awfeeq. InshaAllah we're going to place some of the links below to some of our other videos and also some of the dua'a and adhgar. We will link you to a good website where you can find these. Download them, print them off, put them around your house. Maybe you can say them and try to memorise them. And like ustad abdrahman recommended, the fortress of the Muslim is available from most good book shops and it's a very, very cheap book, maybe two pounds or three pounds. Keep it with you, it's small, you can put it in your top pocket and carry it around with you. Barak al-awfeeq for listening. Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.


If you've been keeping up with my American Horror Story update videos, you know that Season 10 has been subject to a lot of twists and turns when it comes to production, mostly due to the global pandemic we are all currently facing. As things are still just as uncertain as ever, Ryan Murphy has revealed the decisions he has to make regarding the future of this season. As I discussed in my video in March, AHS 10 was scheduled to begin production in Provincetown, Massachusetts, with crew and cast booked to be in town from March 23rd to April 17th, 2020. But of course, all productions scheduled to film at this time were quickly cancelled due to the public health concerns and CDC guidance. Since then, it's just been a waiting game for practically all film and television productions, with talk of postponing the fall TV season and a major release shuffle for upcoming movie releases. The assumption was, though, that once it was deemed safe for productions to resume, that was when AHS 10 would resume as well. But with these new statements by Ryan Murphy, it seems as though we will have to wait a bit longer to see what was in store for the A-list 10th installment. On May 5th, Ryan told the rap, A lot of what I was going to shoot was dependent on a very specific moment. It was a weather-dependent show. So now I don't know. I don't know what we're going to do. I don't know what I'm going to do next with that show. I don't know if I'll accelerate another season or wait till next year to shoot this one. You know, nobody so far has called me up and said, OK, we have a plan to move forward for shooting. So until that day, everybody is kind of on pause. I honestly don't know, but it's a great season and I know all of the actors are chomping at the bit to get into it. So that's all I know. He also added, It was a very specific vibe that I was getting ready to shoot, so I guess I'll have to wait. So from this, we can gather that Ryan currently has two options regarding the next season. Either wait until March of 2021 to begin filming the original idea for season 10, or quickly come up with a brand new idea in order to have a new season as soon as possible. Personally, I think the choice is obvious. Just wait and execute the original plan and use the extra time to really make it a strong season, finish all the scripts and all that. I think it would be nice to have a season that wasn't completely rushed, but let me know what you guys think in the comments below. Now, this also raises the question about the 10 confirmed main cast members for the season. Leslie Grossman, Billy Lord, Edina Porter, Lily Raib, Angelica Ross, Finn Litrock, McCulley Colkin, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, and Sarah Paulson. Will they all still be able to film at this time next year? While Ryan did express the cast's excitement for filming, that doesn't mean that there won't be potential contractual obligations or scheduling conflicts, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of these names have to drop out and the roles have to be recast. But there's still a chance that every one of these cast members will be available again, but I would say it's not as certain as it was when the cast was originally announced. Another interesting detail he mentioned is that this season was very weather dependent and filming in the fall would not work for the story. Let me know if you have any theories regarding this in the comments. This also brings up questions about what Ryan was saying last week, teasing AHS updates coming soon on his Instagram. But honestly at this point I've learned to stop trusting what he puts on Instagram anymore. Just a couple days ago he made the Scream Queens fandom go up in flames when he replied to a comment saying he was working on a third season of Scream Queens. But that same day he also replied to another comment asking to make the third season happen by simply saying no. So who knows what the hell is going on with AHS or Scream Queens at this point, but once we have official word on both shows, you know I will make a video running down all the facts so make sure you're subscribed for when that day comes. Okay so as I'm editing this Ryan Murphy has done another interview revealing a couple new details about the season. Regarding how he got Macaulay Culkin on board he said he told him, so I have this very very great insane part and I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said okay. When I cast I never let people read things usually I say okay here's the pitch and I told them the character and I told him he has crazy erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and goes this sounds like the role I was born to play so he signed up right then and there. He then elaborated on the whole situation regarding the season being postponed saying we're waiting for the crisis to be over because all those scripts are written and I'm excited for him to play that part. I'm excited for him to be in my world because I think I'm gonna want to do a lot of things with him if he wants to work because I think he's fascinating and interesting and I think he has a soul. There's both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I'm attracted to. So those are some crazy details about Macaulay Culkin's character but also Ryan confirmed the fact that all the scripts for season 10 are written which is insane. That's never happened for a American Horror Story season to have every script written before the season films. They usually write them on the fly and have a few scripts when they start filming and then they continue to write the season as they're filming it because that's just how scheduling works out. But yeah let me know what you guys think about this. I hope you all are staying healthy and happy. Be sure to leave your AHS predictions in the comments below and leave this video a like if you liked it and I'll see you next time.
