need a quick way to import data stored as an image into Excel. Stay tuned and we'll tell you all about this new update released to Excel. Hello everyone and welcome back to another video. So previously I've experienced this and I'm sure you have as well. You've received a screenshot of a table and what you need to do is now manually enter this data into Excel. Obviously that can be quite a time consuming task. So Microsoft has now released a recent update to Excel which enables you to import the data direct from an image into Excel. So obviously it's gonna save you a lot of time and it's just a lot better way of going about this. So it's a real simple scenario of solutions, shall I say. All we need to do is obviously have the image in question that contains the data we wish to import which for us is a list of results per individual. So with that put aside, all we need to do is go into our desired Excel file or of course you could be using any blank file just to do this import process. And what you'll need to do is along the ribbon top here you need to navigate to the data tab and you'll see there's now this option from picture. So all we're gonna do is click this dropdown and simply go picture from file. You also have the option to go picture from clipboard but we're assuming that you've probably saved that file already to your desktop. So we'll go picture from file and it will open up obviously your explorer and you'll just need to navigate to where the picture is stored. For us it's this one called user results. So what I'm gonna do is select the image itself and click on insert and what will happen you'll see and it sort of did it quite quickly there. It will process obviously your image and depending on the size and obviously the content of it it could take longer or less but for us it was done in a number of seconds and we can see clearly via this preview option down the bottom here that we can scroll through and see there are no errors. So everything is looking as per the image. If there was an error it would be highlighted in red. So this could happen if you've got maybe numbers in like a user ID maybe you've got on those columns. So it might get slightly confused between zeros and the letter O but hopefully you won't have that scenario. If you do like I say it'll be highlighted in red but for us we can see that everything has been captured as desired. All we're gonna do there is simply click on insert data and it says you are responsible for that validating the accuracy of all data. This is obviously just a pop up just to ensure that you are checking because as I mentioned just then issues can happen if there's a complication from reading the file. Again it's probably worth noting that you need to probably have a fairly decent quality of image. You can see the one we're using here is slightly blurred but it's still fairly straightforward about understanding what the letters and characters are. Upon doing our review we can go insert data and you can see it's now being added for us. So we can now obviously perform another review if required but we can see clearly from the limited data we've got that everything has been captured as desired. So what we can do now is obviously copy or move that data and generally interact with it as we would like as we'd expect with data in Excel.

Welcome to Hard Questions. This is where we gather pastors together to take on your tough questions and answer them right from the Bible. I'm Tom Hollis, the moderator, and today our panelists include Ray Hypo Providence, Presbyterian Church, Robinson Township. Pastor Mark Motor, Berean Church in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Pete Giacalone, South Hills Assembly Guide Church, Bethel Park, PA. Janthony Gilbert, pastor of another level in the North Hills area. Well, pastors, thank you for being with us today. I'm excited to get started. We have some interesting questions today. We're talking about sinning, about demons taking over our bodies, and the holy kiss, that's a lot to dive into here, Pete. But so we're taking your questions from the Hard Questions Hotline, which I love doing this. So let's start with this one. I've sent the sinner's prayer and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, but I still find myself sinning sometimes. And I don't know what to do. Could you point me to some Bible scriptures? That may help me. Thank you. Amen. Pete, I'm gonna start with you on this one. What was that gentleman's name? Do we have his name? I don't, I don't think we have his name. Okay, we don't have his name. Well, let me call you sir. Sir, let me explain this to you. Thank you for your honesty. If you were to compare the life of King Saul and King David, you'll find that David out sinned, saw far more sinful sins. If I could put it that way, then King Saul. But David repented. And we're told in 1st John, chapter one, eight through 10. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Now here's the key. If we confess our sins, it sounds like that's what you're doing. He, Jesus, is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar. So first of all, I thank you for your honesty. Then the thought that comes to my mind is what prevailing sin is taking place? And then examining that prevailing sin and then working with that.  Let me use an example. Let's say it's cigarette smoking. If it's cigarette smoking, as long as you continue to yield yourself to that, then it's gonna be Lord over you instead of you being Lord over it. So thank you for your honesty. I think you asked for some battle of scriptures. One, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive. So now there's therefore no condemnation. He's faithful and just to forgive. So it's, and then the Bible also tells us to submit ourselves to God, resist the enemy and we're told he'll flee from us. So this is some battle scripture I would tell you. Father, I submit myself to you right now. I resist the enemy. You know, don't get into this, it's not happening, it's not real. It is happening, it is real. But it's in open honesty and truth where God can really work in you and through you. I think that it really brings up the question of why do we struggle after salvation? And Ray, maybe you could speak to that. Yeah, I agree with Pete. I mean, we're always gonna sin while we're in this body. That's, I think scripture is clear. If we say, you know, we have no sin, we're deceiving ourselves. And the Bible says even our good works are filthy rags in the sight of God. There's always sin mixed in. But as Pete was saying, there's a difference in sort of being a slave to sin and being a Christian who's fighting against sin. And if you're looking for spiritual growth, I think there's really no shortcut to that. I mean, you have to put in the battle and that means getting in the Word on a regular basis. That means a prayer life on a regular basis. Paul talks about in Romans to make no provision for the lust of the flesh, but put on the Lord Jesus Christ. That's a daily thing. And you're going to be assaulted daily from the world, from the flesh, from the devil.  We glory that the victory is ours in Christ. We're forgiven when we go to him. But, you know, you're going to continue to sin as long as you live. The key is to bring it to the Lord and to continue to trust in him and seek to grow in him in the way he's provided through the means of grace, the word, prayer, fellowship, part of being part of a church, serving others. All those things will help you to get stronger in the spirit and to help weaken the flesh. That's right. And hopefully not to stay in that same place. We all are living in this type of flesh.  What are your thoughts on this? You know, one of the things that come to my mind is there's what's called positional sanctification and progressive.  But then there's that progressive sanctification where now he's taken you out of the world, he's got to take the world out of you. And that's the process. And I think one of the lost arts in the body of Christ that I have even made more of a commitment to more now than ever, considering the day and hour that we live in is a discipleship track. It sounds like what you need is someone to grow you. And discipleship, let me say this for everybody that's watching, discipleship is not a class you take. It's a life you live. And you don't know how to live this life. So you've accepted the prayer or accepted Jesus as your savior and prayed the prayer, but now you have to learn how to get victory.  I think that's so good. And I actually grew up in a church that taught like entire sanctification. It was one of their doctrines. And except that I don't know anybody to live on exactly like that entirely sanctified. Mark, maybe you could speak to that. All of these answers were excellent. Being in the Word and prayer is so important. One thing that I think many Americans are not great at, they get isolated. And isolation is one of the enemies biggest weapons against us. And Dietrich Bonhoeffer had a great quote. He said, sin demands to have a man or a woman by himself. It withdraws him from the community. The more isolated a person is, the more destructive will be the power of sin over him. So it is so important to be amongst the gathering of the saints, not just watching on television, we love television, Cornerstone television is awesome, but we need to have flesh and blood people that speak into our lives that hold us accountable, that encourage us. So it's really important to gather together with others, be held accountable and have iron, sharp and iron. I love that. And I think, sir, that's the key there is yes, battle with those scriptures. Yes, follow a heart after the Lord, be discipled, but be part of a body that encourages you and holds you accountable. Great answers. Let's go on to our next hotline question. My question is, when a demon takes, can a demon take over your body when you have the Holy Spirit in you? All right, Jay, why don't you dive in this? Not sure that the situation, of course, but... Yeah, well, just taking the question at face value, can a demon take over your body if you have the Holy Spirit? Of course not. Matter of fact, if you can't have a demon come and take residence where God is, you know, do you have to, and for a demon to take possession of you, demons are very, very, very skilled and knowledgeable about legal right. They have to have a right that's given to them. And if Jesus Christ has bought and paid, now it doesn't mean that I personally, I'm not getting into it once they've always saved and all that, but I personally believe, you know, if somebody decides to backslide and they open up a door, you can digress. But at the same token, I don't believe that a person can be full of the Holy Spirit if you read in Romans chapter eight, tell them how the spirit of Christ is within you. You know, I mean that sin can't dwell there. So you can't have a demon operating in you and Jesus kind of saying, at the same time saying, well, I don't have any authority here. If Jesus is in you, that demon can't come in here and say get out of the way. I believe you can be oppressed. I believe you can deal with battles. I believe there can be different things that you're battling with, but there can't be a demon taking over your life because either Jesus is Lord of all or he's Lord not at all. That's right, yeah. And I would agree. I don't believe a Christian can be demon possessed, but I do believe they can be oppressed in their body, in their mind, but Acts 10 38 spoke about the ministry of Jesus and it said that Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. So the good news is, is there oppression? Yes, can we be free? Absolutely. It's not possession, it is oppression, but thank God we have freedom in the name of Jesus. Let's go over to Reif. Yeah, I would agree with the men. Demon possession is something that's different than what we face as Christians today, I think. And I think even when demons were possessing people, and I would make a distinction at that level, which really isn't worth getting into, but that when Christ was doing that, even then, if you were a believer, you had the Holy Spirit, the principle that you said, Jay, a demon can't come in and, you know, greater is he who is within you than he is within the world. But now what we have to worry about is that he is prowling about. He is seeking someone that it may devour, and I don't think that means possess. I think that means tempt into sin. I think that means hinder from growing in grace. You know, when you're alone, becoming selfish, becoming corrupt, embracing false doctrine, all the things that Satan really does do, and we are to resist him, we are to put on the whole armor of God so that we might be able to stand against the walls of Satan. So, you know, Satan, demons are very real. Christians have to face them as one of their enemies, but God is greater, and we need to trust in God and go to him. Good, that's good. Yeah, Pete, final thoughts on that? Years ago, there was a book out, Pigs of the Parlor, and oh my, this is late 70s, early 80s, and so many believers were running around thinking they had a demon. I had the joy one day of being David Duplace, I don't know if you remember him, Mr. Pentecost. I had the joy of being his chauffeur for the whole day, and we were in the car and I leaned over to him, I said, brother Duplace, explain this, because again, I just came into ministry, and he shared it with me, and it was so knowledgeable, and I'll never forget it, he said, young man, and you know, he's pat my arm, he said, young man, let me share this with you. My Bible tells me, in the Old Testament, it tells me that the blood of the lambs were able to keep the death angel away from it, and he said, how much more the blood of Jesus that has stained the door of my heart to keep me, and I've never forgotten that to this day, the blood of Jesus is more powerful than the blood of any lamb, and he's able to keep us. That is really good, Pete, I'm gonna remember that one. Thank you so much for the question. Well, coming up in 60 seconds, we ask, does the Bible really call us to give our neighbors a holy kiss? Stay tuned. We just need to publish the theological discussions that happen during the commercial sometimes, but anyway, today on Hard Cush, questions were taken on your hotline questions, so let's go to the next one. Ray, for healing, for an unbeliever, will God answer that prayer? Right, this is an interesting one. There's a few different facets to a simple question, but go ahead, Ray. I mean, I think God answers the prayers of believers for things that are in accordance with his will, and I think that's really the foundational answer. I don't think God's looking at whether or not the person you're praying for is a believer or not. We should be praying for all sorts of people, for kings and all in authority, you know, the Bible says. So we should be praying for people, and I think healing is one of the things that we pray for, but I don't think that God promises healing to everybody, and I think that's true even at the time of the apostles when some of them were healing people miraculously. I mean, Paul writes in 2 Timothy 4, verse 20, Arastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophemus, I left sick in myelitis. Why did he leave him sick if he could heal everyone? And so even when you had the gift of miraculous healing, we don't see it operating across the board. And he writes again about Epaphroditus being sick almost unto death, but God had mercy on him. Paul looked at it as mercy when God healed someone, and I think that's one of the things we need to understand when we go to God in prayer, we don't command God. God doesn't have to do what we're saying. We have to submit our will to him, and I think we have to say as Jesus did, not my will but thy will be done. Someday, some illness or sickness is gonna take everyone out of this world if Jesus doesn't come first. So he's not gonna heal everyone all the time, but I would encourage you to pray for healing and ask God to do it. Just recognize you're asking for mercy, and there's no trick to, oh, if I do it this way, it's gonna happen. Well, I mean, that's a great point. Also, Pete, this whole thing of praying for an unbeliever, this could be a testimony to that. And Tom, I agree because I've heard people say, well, you can't pray for unbelievers, but the woman of Canaan who had a demon-possessed daughter, she came, the disciple said, Lord, will you get her out of here? She's bothering us, but she remained persistent to the point that, and Jesus gave her a little test there about, hey, I didn't come for you. I came from the lost sheep of Israel, but she remained persistent, and as a result, her daughter was set free. What was his name? Naaman in the Old Testament, full of leprosy. And one of the servant girls said, hey, if he could only get, so I want to attack this from the point of, can you pray for non-believers? I tell you what, I take every opportunity I can for non-believers for that reason, that intent, that. Naaman didn't want to do what the prophet wanted to do. Oh, he did not. Oh, he did not.  Can he just wave his hand, you know? But it was a testimony to what God wanted to do. All right. I think of the great commission command in Mark's gospel, which is the best of the four gospels. And Jesus said, go and preach the gospel to every creature. And then he mentions five signs. These signs will follow those who believe.  It doesn't say just believers, it says the sick. So I believe we have that right, that authority. And we are not the healer. So our job is to pray the prayer of faith. But we have an outreach in our church called Supernatural Outreach. And we go and minister to felt needs of believers and unbelievers. Sometimes they're saved and then God cleans them up. Sometimes they're healed and then they get saved. So I think we should take every opportunity to preach the gospel and minister to the sick. Yeah, very good. I think I'll just bring more on what you said, Jesus talked about the Samaritan woman said, it's not fit to give the children's bread to the dogs, but her faith had the ability to trump Jesus' theology. If I can even go that far. I mean, so it shows you how powerful, even an unbeliever or a dog could be healed. I mean, there's a lot of things you can think of.  I mean, now where I came from, that was fighting words. I'm serious.   So I mean, if Jesus would do that there, then I believe also that He'll do it now for the unbeliever and I believe, what is this, you guys have probably heard it where it said that healing is the dinner bell for the gospel. So I believe God used that a lot of times to show people His willingness to die for them and by meeting their need as a result, He can, they can hear the gospel more clearly. Very good. Very good. Great. Thank you again for the question. Appreciate that. This next one's really interesting. So let's go to the next one. I read it a few times in the Bible, it mentions greeting one another with a holy kiss. What exactly does that mean? And is there a modern day equivalent? A modern day equivalent. All right, Mark, we're gonna let you tackle this. Well, I found out that there are four different times where that phrase is mentioned in the New Testament. First Corinthians 16, 20, for example, all the brothers and sisters here send you greetings, greet one another with a holy kiss. And I think the key word there is not kiss, it's holy. There are a lot of guys in my church that would love to do some kissing, but it wouldn't necessarily be holy with the sisters. And so to me, that was a sign of affection. I know in some cultures today we'll kiss on the cheek, something of that nature. The only thing I would say in our particular culture is right now we have a hyper-sensitive culture about things, and I know sometimes women will come and say, there's a particular man that when he hugs me or whatever, it's a little bit over the top, and I'm not comfortable with that. So if someone wants to do that, I don't have an issue with that, but I think a handshake, a hug, or a fist bump might be a little bit more appropriate in our culture. Let's have a holy fist hug. I mean, if it's guys with guys, that's a little different, but if it's a guy with a girl, sometimes you've gotta be careful with that. But the reality is, church is not just about coming, getting mind and going, it is about community, it is about fellowship, it is about connection. Well, that is a great answer. It's interesting, some of us have gone, I came up through the charismatic movement, and it was a big thing of that, you know? It was a big thing. I agree with one another with a holy kiss, Pete. There's probably experiences about that. Well, you know, I grew up in an all Sicilian family, and when we came, aunts and uncles, and I'm talking to numerous, when you walked into the house as a child, you had the grandma and grandpa first, every uncle was hugged and kissed. Hello, and when it came time. On the lips, was that the kiss on the lips? Some were lips, some were lips. That's just the way. I don't know about that, Pete. That's just the way it was in those days. Truthfully, you know, my dad and I, and every time we met when he was alive, and we hadn't seen each other for months, we'd kiss on the lips. I mean, that's just the way it was. So it was a cultural fact. But you know, I did a little deep dive, as my associate pastor likes to say, deep dive on this, and the kiss on the cheek was used for a greeting. It was implied friendship and acceptance, and implies no elite groups. I have a couple guys in my church, and going back to what you would just say, Mark, about hugging, I will not embrace a woman. If I hug a woman, I'll hug around, then you know what I mean? The shoulder. I think we need to be careful of embracing. Now, some guys, you get it. Again, in the 70s, it was like everything was like, oh, this is a new thing. It's interesting. Just a quick story before we take a break is that my dad was a steel worker. They don't greet one another with a holy kiss in the steel mill, okay? And so he would have Bible studies, different things he would invite people to church. So a friend of his from the steel mill walks into the greeter at our church in the middle of the charismatic movement. The guy gives him a big hug and kisses him on the cheek. My dad's friend turned right around and walked out of the church, okay? Now, that person came to faith in Christ, okay? But it wasn't because of the holy kiss. Holy kiss was in the way, I don't know. From a Presbyterian perspective over there, we just got a few seconds. There are different social conventions, and this is just, Christians are to love one another. And so when you see one, we greet one another in the Lord. Those conventions change. You know, I personally, I used to always hug the older ladies as I get older. I'm not sure that I can make that distinction much, but I don't go in unless the woman comes to try to hug me first and then I'll respond to it. But, and there are a few that kiss, and when we went to Mexico, the women would kiss you on the lips. And okay, that's the culture there. That's what I did, I mean, but like right smack on the lips, I was like, okay. All right, well on that though, we're gonna take a break. We'll be back right after this. So here's our last hotline question of the show. I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer. So I was curious, is that, was that caused by something I did, like a shin or something like that? And secondly, everybody always says that if it's God's will to heal you, that he will heal you. But all through scripture, it says like, where people have been healed and God always tells them it's their faith that healed up. So I was curious on if it's related to God's will to heal you or if it really, God's will is to heal you, and it's your faith that prevents that healing. Thanks, bye. Well, thank you for calling in and our heart is with you and we believe for healing for you. But we wanna dive into some of the, there's kind of really two parts that I see that some sin causes problem and also about healing. Could you talk about that? Well, I'll start with the sin piece. I wanna be very careful with this because I don't wanna insinuate anything that you might be going through and that you're, cause I don't wanna put fear in you, but it's the same token, you know, like we know smoking causes cancer. We know that, you know, if you're around a lot of asbestos, it can cause cancer. Doesn't necessarily mean that asbestos cause sin, but there are natural things that cause cancer. If we smoke, if we're unhealthy, you know, you reap what you sow. So there can be things we can bring on. It's not a judgment. There are just natural laws. That's the key. It's not a judgment. We're not talking about a judgment here. We're not talking about a judgment at all.  It was in her family and she died at 59. I personally believe part of it was how she took care of her body. It's just, you know, you have one body.  I mean, just how, if you eat a lot of sugar, it's not judgment. It's just you're insulin dependent now. You know, so things begin to break, insulin resistant rather. And so that number of the things that I think we have to look at, if not, this is the reality. Even if you did, even if you smoked, even if you brought it on, he's a forgiving God. He's a graceful God. He's a merciful God. You ask him, say, Lord, I repent. And then you say, Lord, I'm gonna believe you that just as you healed me of my sin, which is the root of all sickness, you will also heal me of my sickness as well. Good, all right. I think with that, we recognize that we do live in a fallen world. So there are times that things come against us that are just because of the world we live in. But I know for myself, sometimes there can be blessing blockers, some things that block the blessing of God. And so I often say, Lord, is there anything I am doing or not doing that I need to deal with? And so it's always healthy to say, Lord, is there anything I've done or haven't done? I'll get that right with you because I don't want any blessing blocker, something that I can fix to hinder me from walking in my healing. Amen, amen, amen to that. Let's go to... Okay, real quick. Elisha Elijah, what did Elisha ask of Elisha? A double portion. And if you study all the miracles that Elisha did, but the Bible tells us, now we have Elijah who's taken up in the fiery chariot, but then we have Elisha when he dies, he dies of a sickness known of man. So for us to say that Elisha died because of sin in his life, we gotta be careful of that. So sweetheart, I just wanna encourage you, there is now therefore no condemnation. Don't let the enemy tell you you have cancer because of sin. That's right, absolutely. And I would say the same thing, and I would encourage you to pray and my heart goes out to you and God can heal and God does heal people, but I can't guarantee you that he will. And I think the Bible is clear on that. I think if you're making that distinction, say is it that I don't have enough faith? No, I don't think so. And I think when Jesus healed people and he asked them, do you believe that I am able to do this? There was a connection there with the Messiah. The Bible said the Messiah, when he came, the lame would leap like a deer. He would open the eyes of the blind.  So when he was saying that, that was believing in him as the Messiah. And therefore he did these signs and wonders to show who he was. And so because you're sick and you have faith and you're not healed, doesn't mean you're not trusting in Christ. He's not doing that on earth anymore. I would encourage you to pray and trust in him because he is able to heal you, but it's not because you don't have enough faith. That's absolutely true. And we just want to pray for you right now, sister, and believe in the name of Jesus for healing for you. We just trust, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus, if you would heal our sister, raise her up and give her new physical life in this life, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Well, we love to end with the scripture and we're going to end with this one. It says, yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had the power to do what he had promised. That's Romans 4, 20 and 21. Thank you so much for joining us for this edition of Hard Questions.


If you are new to the channel, I'm GoPony. I do new car track SUV reviews on YouTube. And today, wanted to do the classic comparison 2023 Honda Civic versus 2023 Toyota Corolla. And so I've done this comparison for a few years now and everyone seems to like it. I like it as well. So I have driven and reviewed both the 2023 Civic and 2023 Corolla. And there are many similarities between these two. So that's why probably it's a popular comparison. But in today's video, we are going to be highlighting the 10 key differences between the Civic and Corolla with a clear winner at the end, starting from number 10, working our way to number one. So ultimately, hopefully this video does help you make a better decision on what is right for you. And keep in mind at the very end, like I said, there's gonna be a clear winner, but that may not be the clear winner for you because there may be certain things that you were looking for. So ultimately always do your own research and make your own decision. But having said that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it with number 10 on my list. So for the number 10 comparison, we will take a look at the price comparison between these two. The Honda Civic LX being the base trim is going to start at $23,750, whereas the 2023 Corolla LE, again, the base trim for the Corolla is going to start at $21,550. So a little over $2,000 less for the Corolla. So the Corolla is going to win this first comparison, putting our score at one to nothing, but the Corolla is in the lead. All right, so for the next comparison on our list, we're gonna be taking a look at the power differences. And so for this comparison, I wanted to take a look at which vehicle actually provides us the most power. So let's go ahead and start with the Civic here first. Civic does provide you with two different engine configurations. The more powerful engine is powered by a 1.5 liter turbocharged four cylinder, putting out 180 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 177 pound-feet of torque coming in at 1,700 RPM, zero to 60 time for that more powerful engine comes in at approximately 7.4 seconds. So like I said, there is a less powerful engine that is available for the LX and the sport trim levels. And that zero to 60 time, I think comes in at like 9.3 seconds, if I remember correctly from my review. But then there is the Corolla that is powered by just one engine configuration for all trim levels. That's gonna be a two liter naturally aspirated inline four cylinder putting out 169 horsepower at 6,600 RPM, 151 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,400 RPM, zero to 60 time for that one, slightly slower at 7.8 seconds. So Civic does offer the overall more powerful engine that the quicker power plant that is going to send you to 60. But keep in mind, if you're looking at maybe a lesser expensive version of these two, it may be more beneficial if you're looking for power to go with the Corolla because that engine configuration is gonna be more powerful than the base engine in the Civic. I'll put it that way. But having said that, Civic takes this comparison that puts us at a score of one to one. It is tied. Next on the comparison list here is the fuel economy. And so for the 2023 Civic, 31 miles per gallon in the city, 40 on the highway for the base engine, 31 in the city, 38 on the highway. Then for the more powerful turbocharged engine taking regular unleaded fuel. And so for the 2023 Corolla, that is going to come in at 32 miles per gallon in the city and 41 on the highway. And again, there's only one engine configuration. So yet again, taking regular unleaded fuel. So the Corolla does inch by on this comparison, giving little better MPGs. That gives the point to the Corolla in this comparison. And that puts us at a score of two to one. Corolla is back in the lead. So next on the comparison list here is the braking. So for the 2023 Civic, 11.1 inch ventilated front disc, 10.2 inch solid rear disc, as far as that six easier stopping distance goes, that comes in at 122 feet. So very impressive number there, no issues there. 2023 Corolla, that comes in at 10.8 inches ventilated in the front, 10.2 inch solid rear disc. As far as that six easier stopping distance goes, that comes in at 129 feet. Both of those are motor trend numbers. So it should be an equal comparison there. So the Civic is going to take the win there. It does come to a quicker stop, putting us yet again at another tie, two to two. Next on the comparison list is going to be the rear leg room. And so taking a look at the Honda Civic, that is going to come in at 37.4 inches. For reference, I mean even six feet tall, this is how much space I had sitting in the back of the Civic there. Then taking a look at the Corolla, 34.8 inches, so slightly less, but for reference yet again, even six feet tall, this is how much space I had sitting in the back there. So you could probably make it work either way, but the Civic definitely offers more rear leg room, putting us at a score of three to two. Civic is in the lead. And so next on my list is going to be a cargo space comparison. And so taking a look at the Honda Civic first, 14.4 cubic feet. And if that was not enough space, there is a 60-40 split of course, so you can fold those rear seats down for quite a bit of extra space then if you needed it. Taking a look at the Corolla, 13.1 cubic feet, it's a little bit less there. Again, 60-40 split, you can fold the rear seats down, good bit of extra space if you needed it. But having said that, Civic does offer more space. So that puts us at a score of four to two. Civic is taking the lead. Next on the list is going to be a tech comparison. This is one that I always appreciate. Both now offer a full digital gauge cluster. Let me start by mentioning that. That is a similarity, but for the 2022 model year, the Corolla did not offer that. The Civic did, but for 2023, they now both offer a full digital gauge cluster, which is pretty darn cold. They both look pretty darn good. But anyways, Civic gives you a nine-inch color touch screen display in terms of that center infotainment screen. Corolla gives you an eight-inch color touch screen display, so slightly less there. The real kicker when it comes to the tech comparison, for me at least, is going to be the wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. One of them offers it, one of them does not. That's going to be the Civic. The Civic offers the wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay, whereas the Corolla still offers the Android Auto Apple CarPlay, but you got to hook it up through a USB cable. So little more wires there. So for the tech comparison, I got to give this one to the Civic for the larger screen and the wireless connectivity that puts us at a score of five to two. Civic is in the lead. So next on the list is going to be the driving dynamics. And so this is going to be slightly subjective, but keep in mind in the back of your head, I have driven over 700 cars at this point, so I do have a little bit of experience when it comes to driving dynamics. And so the way I'm going to break this down is in terms of ride quality handling. I'll probably throw cabin noise in there as well, but in terms of the Honda Civic, good ride quality, but excellent steering feel. So Honda usually always crushes it with their steering feel. And what I mean by that is it has a heavier weight to it. So it more instantly points you in the direction that you want to go. It feels like you have a little better control over the steering. There's no number of loose spots or anything like that. So I was a big fan of the steering feel in the Honda Civic. Cabo noise though was pretty bad, as expected in this particular segment of vehicles in the automotive industry. So a good bit of road and wind noise unfortunately, but let's take a look at the Toyota Corolla, good ride quality yet again, but it's a substantially looser steering feel unfortunately. So it kind of drives like an SUV in terms of that loosey-goosey steering feel. Once again though, cabin noise was pretty bad. That's to be expected really for all the compact cars, but anyways, gotta give this one to the Civic just for the steering feel alone. That puts us at a score of 62. Civic is in the lead. So next on the list is going to be the reliability comparison. And what a lot of people in this segment actually pay the most attention to. So this is going to be extremely important deciding factor here. And by the way, this is based off of consumer reports where I got the statistics. So take a look at the Honda Civic first, they gave it a rating of average. So the way consumer reports goes, it's well below average, below average, then there's average above average and well above average. So kind of like a five-tier system. So right in the middle of the line, they got average for the Civic and that was for the base engine by the way. If you were to upgrade the engine to the turbocharged engine, I would imagine it would be average or worse. It could possibly be below average or something like that just because turbocharged engines typically are less reliable than their naturally aspirated counterparts. But then taking a look at the Toyota Corolla consumer reports rated that one well above average reliability, which is the very highest reliability rating given by consumer reports. And that is really what Toyota has been known for and is still known for to this day is their reliable vehicles. So Corolla is going to take the win here, putting us at a score of six to three. Civic is obviously going to win this competition, but I do have one more comparison left that may be your deciding factor. So let's go ahead and take a look at the styling. And so this last comparison yet again, it's going to be somewhat subjective, but not really. I think we can all agree on this one. So Civic was the car that most recently had a kind of redesign and Honda made the Civic lower and wider, which typically is an equation for a very good looking vehicle. So to elaborate on that a little bit in terms of the height, the Civic comes in at 55.7 inches. Corolla comes in at 56.5 inches. So the Civic is one inch lower than the Toyota Corolla, which helps it look better. Of course, then taking a look at the width, Civic comes in at 70.9 inches. Corolla comes in at 70.1 inches. So the Civic is going to be wider as well. So yet again, adding to those looks and it has a very low hood line. Civic just honestly looks better in my opinion. So overall got to give that one to the Civic, put it inside a score of seven to three. Civic is going to win my comparison competition here. But in the end, both are very solid picks. And while the Civic may have won this competition, that doesn't necessarily mean that is the right pick for you. For example, if you favor these four things when it comes to what you're looking for in a vehicle, like more power for lower trims, better fuel economy, a lower price and better reliability, the Corolla may actually be the best choice for you. So I'm not saying the Civic is best for everyone. So it's very possible that Corolla may be your pick. But having said that, let me know which one you guys would pick in the comments section below. I will definitely take a look and that is about it for this one you guys. Thank you so much for watching. Feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen.

Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the start of 11 show talking about how to play a versus Everton that's getting into it in gold Jordan Pickford. Yes, he made a mistake last week for recently for Ronaldo's goal, but still he's our number one and he's in gold for us. Back four at right back, Shane was Coleman continuing, got caught with the pace last week but at this stage I don't really think there's anyone. Who would do a better job than him? I know a woe became him last week but I really don't want to take him out of midfield. Maybe we're in Mason Hallgate ready to come back, that could be an alternative and maybe that would be something we see midweek. Left back it is Michelin Cow, obviously our starting left back. The two centre backs are Connor Cody and James Tarkowski have been excellent so far this season. The worry of course for the whole back foot is the pace, is the counter attack like we saw last week. Everton have got to take measures to not be caught, too high up the pitch allowing that space in behind for the likes of Sun. The likes of Kane who travels with the ball so well and obviously for Charlesons involved as well as some other space players who are lightning. Into midfield, changes up a little bit of midfield. I'm going for two, two sixes. Agissa Garnergate and James Garner, James Garner full debut. I want to try and make the midfield a little bit more compact. Cut out the spaces in there and have someone like James Garner in there who maybe can use the ball a little bit more effectively. And allow Agissa Garnergate to be a bit more of a stopper, a bit more of a terrier so he's got an easy out ball. The last three goals we can see that have been from poor passing in midfield under no real pressure is such either. So I'm just trying to make that a little bit more compact. So those two are in there, ahead of those two, O'nana who will provide the height, an out ball and also adds another body in midfield. The physicality goes off set pieces for defensively as well as attacking and space has got a lot of goals off set pieces so he'll be pivotal for us in our own box. On the left hand side I've got Alex O'Wobee. It's not a direct replacement for Anthony Gordon or whoever plays out there. It's more of just a position to move into. So when we're out of possession he'll come back into the midfield and it'll almost be two and two. But when we are going forward hopefully for me he'll come off the left hand side. It might be the right hand side because we've seen him play on the right last week after she was come and come off. So trying to make that midfield a little bit more compact and when we haven't got the ball getting placed back behind the ball, then Alex O'Wobee's energy allows that. He's one of the only ones who can really get round the pitch. So a slight positional change for him. On the right hand side the Marey Grey. It just basically do what he does being the out ball, being the one who picks up the ball and runs with it. And up front it is Neil Malpy who will continue up front. Again the job is not to isolate him and if he does get the ball the job is to get around him and support him till Dominic Alvernon is fully fit to start games. Hopefully Dominic will come on for a bit longer in this game and give us a bit more and we'll step it up game by game to where he's a starter. So that's my start 11.

I'm going skiing with her Yeah, darling. Do you think that is wise for you? It's one way of finding out if she ties in I just hope it doesn't turn out to be the hideaway Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed Expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator yours truly Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to the home office global casualty in Hartford, Connecticut Assignment the picture postcard matter location Clibock, Switzerland Expense account continued item seven three dollars American rental on ski equipment Ilse Schaefer told me she'd come to Clibock to go skiing and I wanted to make sure that was her reason There'd been too many Coincidences about her to suit me First the way she popped into my cab in Zurich then popped out two blocks later leaving her purse behind Right after that I'd been jumped by a strong arm who was sure Ilse had passed the stolen diamonds to me And now she turns up suddenly at the Clibock Inn. I spotted her waiting for me at the ski lift In her skiing outfit she could have passed for Miss Switzerland But one nasty little thought kept coming into my brain kept marring the picture She could also be Sebastian's killer We rode the lift up to the top and took off along the ridges She's skied like she was born to it easy smooth gracefully It had been four years since I'd last been on skis and as I struggled to keep up with her I must have looked like a rusty snowplow We worked our way out on the crest of one of the ridges Let's stop here a moment All right suits me fine You winded this is not exactly sea level I just get used to it You see I really can't ski. Oh, that's another statement Do you have a cigarette? Yeah, sure here isn't it beautiful up here Johnny? Yeah You see that little dot way down there That is the in a long way down. That's what I like about skiing Everything is so remote so far below When you're up here all that down there it just doesn't exist anymore It's always there when you get back though.  Thanks. I Still can't get over it What well the coincidence that I should share your cabin Zurich and then run into you again at the Klaibachin But I am glad Aren't you can't say that? Hey must have come from that other ridge behind the rocks Closer we're sitting ducks on this ridge quick down the left side of it. There is a shortcut. Let's go Keep low Who could be shooting at us? We'll figure that out when we get out of range He's still right with us. We'll be out of sight in a moment could be a moment too late Yeah, we are past the shoulder. Yeah swaps pretty steep here The shoulder of the ridge will keep us out of sight maybe What do you mean? We get going much faster.  Hey ahead of us a quick Johnny stop. What do you think I'm trying to do? Johnny, Johnny watch out. Oh brother Johnny four feet more and I thank heaven. This was a real great route you picked Ilson I can't tell you how sorry. Sorry. I didn't go over the edge. Oh, of course not. I mean, I'm And sorry that in the excitement. I forgot about the avalanche avalanche Yes, several months ago. It took away part of the slope and left this sheer drop forgot about it, huh? Well, I I just told you I did I know this you didn't have much trouble stopping in time But I was behind you. Oh, yeah, that's just where you were behind me What are you trying to say Johnny? Just that this is one coincidence too many Ilson We just happen to stop on the top of the ridge right where I make a great a target Then you just happen to forget there's a sheer drop on this shortcut. You got me to take Come on. We're going back to the end The fire feels good doesn't it? Johnny Johnny, what is it? What's the matter? All those things you said up on the ridge. I'm waiting Ilson Waiting for what for you to open up and tell me what this is all about and how you fit into the deal deal Oh, cut it out. Would you you didn't just happen to share my cab back in Zurich? The whole thing was rigged so it would look like you passed those stolen diamonds along to me Johnny, I don't know anything about stolen diamonds. I suppose you also don't know anything about a man named Sebastian Yes, I know Sebastian What has he got to do about his murder? Murder? Oh, yes I can't believe it Sebastian Yeah, and you've already admitted you knew Sebastian now. Let's have the rest of the story straight Sebastian was a friend of mine friend nothing more he He had asked me to share your cab at the airport and to leave my purse in it Why did he want you to do that? I don't know He well, he said he was in some kind of trouble and needed help He said if I would do that it would help him. Ilse you'll have to do better than that But I am telling you the truth. No, you Hey, wait a minute You claim you didn't know what kind of trouble Sebastian was in. No, he didn't tell me you also claim You don't know anything about the diamonds a hundred thousand dollars worth what I read about that in the newspapers, but Are you saying that Sebastian was involved in it up to his ears? I'm sorry to hear that Johnny, but you must believe me.  I'm telling you the truth Okay But about that taxi cab in Zurich. I don't understand Sebastian was trying to double-cross the rest of the outfit by negotiating with me for the return of the diamonds But apparently there was another outfit after the diamonds He wanted to make it look to them like he'd pass the diamonds along to take the heat off You said a man attacked you after I had left your cab. Yeah, he obviously thought you'd slip me the diamonds So Sebastian was setting me up as a patsy on the one hand and negotiating with me on the other Who could have killed him? Good question Could be the outfit trying to grab the stones or Sebastian's own crowd found out he was trying to sell them out and The person who shot at us up on the same two possibilities Which reminds me you still haven't explained how you happened to come up here to the climb back in Sebastian told me he had unfinished business in Zurich and he would meet me here in a few days and we would go skiing I see Tell me did you know any of Sebastian's friends one or two slightly was one of them big and powerful thick features almost bald No Why? Well, he's the one who jumped me in the hotel lobby after my cab ride with you I am certain I would remember him the way you describe him Well, there was a man Sebastian spent a great deal of time with but he was short and stocky with Very thick neck. Well, that fits the description of one of the men in the robbery at the Zurich Airport. Do you know his name? Brunner, I think it was what it had been gruner. Yes. Yes The man who sent the postcard to Sebastian. Yeah, that ties in all right postcard.  Why well a fellow named Jeffrey Harris here at the hotel's been trying to strike up an acquaintance with me claims he thought I was old money dollar a friend of his from London. Oh Johnny if you'll excuse me, I'm very tired and Upset about these news of Sebastian. I Think I'll go to my room. Yeah, okay, sir. If there's anything more I can do don't worry. I'll let you know All right, I'll see you later Oh I don't did you enjoy your skiing? Well, let's say it was real interesting Got a question for you. I don't as a man of experience. How do you tell if a woman is lying? Oh As an innkeeper I learned long ago that one listens to a woman I grieve with her Smiles politely keeps his eyes open and believes what he wishes about her. Yeah, well, I guess that's as good advice as any I hear dollar this letter arrived for you from Zurich by special messenger while you were. Oh, yeah I was expecting it. Thanks. Oh, one more thing. Yeah Did anybody else go skiing this morning from the inn? No But the Englishman Jeffrey Harris, what about him? He likes to climb the rocks he went out for a while climbing rocks, huh? Thanks a lot Yeah Jeffrey Harris could be my boy. All right But at the moment I was more interested in the contents of the envelope police inspector Hanager had sent me from Zurich I tore it open and examined the postcard inside Expense item eight two and a half long distance called a Zurich and Hanager Receive the postcard. Yeah from Gruner to Sebastian a picture of a chalet on the side of a mountain You say this kind arrived in Sebastian's mailbox this morning Apparently Gruner is unaware of Sebastian's death What do you make of the card? Well, the chalet in the picture is sort of a small halfway house for skiers. Is it attended? No empty most of the term here dollar Possibly the first postcard of the inn was simply for the purpose of guiding Sebastian to Kleibach The second is perhaps a picture of the actual location of the diamonds. That's what I'm going up there to find out The trail of the mountains started in back of the inn I worked my way up the ridge slowly keeping an eye on every clump of rock Just in case my friend with the rifle was still in the prowl Near the crash. I stopped for breath Suddenly I spotted something moving far down the slope below me Someone who was descending from rock to rock almost down to the inn It was too far to tell for sure, but it looked like the Englishman Jeffrey Harris. I Started my climb again 10 minutes later. I reached the halfway house the place on the postcard. It was small just a shelter and there was no sign of life Inside the place was in a shambles completely torn about If this had been the hiding place of the stolen diamonds Somebody had sure beat me to it Here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's episode of this week's story tomorrow a third part of the key turns up In the form of a corpse Join us won't you yours truly Johnny dollar Johnny dollars starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood Written by Robert Reif it is produced and directed by Jack John Stone Be sure to join us tomorrow night same time and station for the next exciting episode of Yours truly Johnny dollar Roy Rowan speaking


I think agile people is a really important conference because it brings in a wider community of people than you would traditionally see. You've got people from IT and agile coaches obviously, but you've also got finance, you've got HR, you've got different disciplines. So I think agile people is super important because it connects you to other people. To me it has been giving me the opportunity to reflect on my practices. Well I would say because it's from the people perspective it's widening the scene what agile really is. I'm here to share my experience about agile and sales. I'm here partly because I was interested in hearing about these topics and the excellent lineup of speakers. From my talk I think the key message is that you as a manager, if you work as a manager you really have to give away the power you need to listen much more if you want to be successful in agile transformations. One key message from my talk would probably be that these principles are universally applied. They are all about getting things done. They are all about making every person count and also creating a humane workplace. There is a lot of talent in your organization so kick that cage open and every day is a brand new day to do something different and if you don't achieve it, tomorrow is the next day. The best thing I think is to move around between the talks and talk to people that are really interesting and have great ideas and question your assumptions in a great way. What I like about the agile people conference is the diverse way in which they've set it up. You get the kind of traditional speakers, you get the speed talks, you get interaction with the speakers, you get the workshops beginning and after and opportunities to go deeper. The idea is that you don't come here with any preparation, you come with an open mind. I think the core of agile people student is like learning more about people and creating agility in them. The best thing is the sharing and inspiring. I think it's to see all the different functions, talk about agile and like having the same values which is that people are human beings and not machines so you can't actually measure and manage people and like improve the performance of people by controlling them. I think the agile people conference is important because of the ability to meet people from all over the world to get more insights from other people and companies experience. Everyone here who is here has talents and everyone has experiments and expertise and I'm not the only one who knows it all but we all know a lot together. I believe that it's the most important agile conference in Europe.


While many people in history have tried to refute the fact of having a leader whose age did not exceed 10 years old, a leader or a child of such an age might sound very controversial. How can the people be ruled by a young boy who does not possess any experience in life or sociological matters? This may sound accurate for any ordinary child, yet the same is not true when it comes to the house of divine authority. For this reason, we have dedicated this program to share and discuss the life of our second youngest Imam, Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat, peace be upon him, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam, peace be with you wherever you are. Before I begin the program, I would like to congratulate all the Muslim Ummah, the Ahl al-Bayt, and Imam Sahab al-Asr al-Zaman, may Allah hasten his reappearance for entering the days of the birth anniversary of our beloved ninth Imam, the eleventh infallible, the ninth vice-gerent of Allah, the Almighty, Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat. For this reason, I would like to ask Allah SWT to grant the wishes of all the lovers of Ahl al-Bayt on this blessed occasion. For this reason, and as I mentioned, we are going to discuss the life of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat. I am honored to host this program with my dear guest, Sayyid Jafar Al-Qazweeni. How are you? Alhamdulillah. Thank you very much for having me. Thank you very much for coming tonight. Sayyidna, if you want to talk about the biography of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat, we know that born on the tenth of Rajab in the holy city of Medina, Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat is the only son, Imam Ali Al-Raza. He was born when Imam Raza Al-Islam was 45 years old. The story that goes along with this is that his brother got very angry and Imam Raza Al-Islam was constantly being ridiculed for not bearing any children. When Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat, Al-Islam, was born, one of his brothers, I can't remember his name, got mad because he wasn't going to be the one inheriting the imam, the properties of Imam Ali Al-Raza and an expert in ancestry came and exposed all of this saying that this wasn't the child of Imam Ali Al-Raza Al-Islam. But aside of this, can you share the biography of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat, Al-Islam? The Imam of Imam Al-Jawaat, Al-Islam, is our ninth imam, the ninth imam of Ahlul Bayt, Al-Islam, who was born in 195 of Al-Hijrah in Medina, as you have said, to Imam Al-Raza, Al-Islam. His mother's name is Khayzran, which is called an Arabic ummu walad. Basically, it is the maid that once bears a child and gives birth, she also will be considered to be free. The title is given as ummu walad. The Imam, Al-Islam, there are two features about Imam Al-Jawaat, Al-Islam. Number one, he was the first imam out of the twelve that he reached the position of imam at an age less than the puberty, the maturity, which was at age seven or eight years old. We know that three of our imams, Al-Imam Al-Jawaat, Al-Islam, Al-Imam Al-Hadi, and Al-Imam Al-Hujjah bin Al-Hasan Al-Mahdi, are the three imams who have reached the position of imam while they are so called child, at the level of child. The imam had two migrations. Once when he did the burial, the burial procedure for his, the martyred imam, Al-Imam, father, martyred father, Al-Imam Al-Raza, Al-Hasan, he went to Khurasan, and then after he finished the burial ceremonies stayed there for a while, then he returned back to Medina. And then again, he was summoned by the Mu'tasim, the brother of the Khalifa Al-Abbasi Al-Ma'mun to Baghdad, and where his life ended by being martyred again through his wife, Umm Al-Fadal, which was the daughter of Al-Ma'mun, in the year 220 of Hijrah. Basically, the imam, as I said, has two features, number one, he was the first imam to reach the level of imam when he was child, and second, he was the youngest imam. He only lived 25 years of age. His life span only were 25 years. However, in these only 25 years, he has produced so much that ordinary people, even scholars, could not even do in their own ordinary life span. I mean, it's interestingly mentioned by Al-Qalani in his Ka'fi that the brightness and most outstanding phase of his nature and character were to show hospitality and politeness to all without discrimination. We know that about Ma'am Muhammad Al-Jawad, alaihi salam, to help the needy to observe equality under all circumstances, to live a simple life, to help the orphans, the poor, and the homeless, to teach those interested in the acquisition of knowledge and to guide the people to the right path. I mean, all of that were the characteristics of Al-Bait al-Alaym, salam, and every imam did that. But there's something unique about Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad. But along these attributes and characteristics of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad, why was he called Al-Jawad? There are several attributes for the Imam, alaihi salam. He's called Al-Jawad, he's called Al-Taqi, he's called Al-Mutawakkil, he's also called Babul Marad. For each of those attributes, there is a long story. Sometimes this attribute or title has been designated by the Prophet, peace be upon him, who has foretold Imam Amir al-Mu'mineen and so forth, went through the imams each by, you know, by each. They prophesied about it. And sometimes it has been called by people. The people themselves called the imam in that name. At any rate, Al-Jawad, the title of Al-Jawad for the Imam, alaihi salam, bears some significance. We need to look at the story of the Imam. You see, Al-Jawad was raised and most of his life was spent close to the Al-Khalif Al-Abbasi, the Al-Abbasi Khalifa Al-Mu'mun. It is narrated that Al-Mu'mun used to give him one million dinar, one million dinar which is gold coin. That is, some narrators have indicated that. It's a lot. It's a lot. Of course, the Imam doesn't spend it on himself. So basically with these money, he has outreached everybody, every single person. Anyone who would come, any entity would come and ask for help, the Imam would provide him. Now there is, we should also differentiate between the words and the adjectives. An Arabic generous means kareem. Jawad also indicates generosity, but then there is a different level. The Arabic scholars say that Al-Jawad is the generous that he takes the initiatives. He doesn't wait for the beggar or for the one who is in need to come and ask his need. Rather, before they ask, before they even think of asking the Imam, the Imam is the one who advances toward them and help them. So he reached the highest level of generosity. Absolutely. Without you even saying, without even the person mentions that or keeps in mind. This indicates the meaning of Jawad. Now the Imam, peace be upon him, throughout his life, he used to support all the clan of Bani Hashim. In Khurasan, there used to be many followers of Ahlul Bayt, that he used to support them. He also used to support ordinary people that even don't share him the same ideology that he does, or the Shia of Ahlul Bayt. That's why he earned this title, Al-Jawad, very, you know, very earnestly. And there is a beautiful word of the Imam, that you can see that this is not only a discipline, rather it's a vision. Here is a word of the Imam, that I would like to share it with you. The Imam says, Inna Allaha Ta'ala Khalaqa, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, I'm sorry, I think this is another one that I'm trying to get to. The one, if you just allow me one second, by mistake I just pulled another hadith. Here it is. Yes. It says, Ahlul Ma'arouf, ila istina'ihi ahwaj min ahlul hajati ilayh. People who do good, Ahlul Ma'arouf, they in need of doing such thing more than those who receive it. If you have a beggar, here is what the Imam is saying, if a beggar comes and asks for help, you the helper need this help to provide this help more than the beggar that he needs your help. Then he elaborates, why is it so? He said, Because they have a reward for him, and he is proud of him, and proud of him. Number one, they will earn the reward of it. Second, this is a pride. This is type of a pride that everybody should be proud of himself when they help others. And third, you will build the legacy. And 50 years from now, when people try to memorize you and remember you, they remember you for those good things that you used to do towards the others. Then he says, whatever kindness that person does to others, in fact, he is number one that is benefiting from this good thing. This is a vision, you see, sometimes people pay out of their generosity. Because they are generous, they help others. This is mostly a discipline. The Imam is even going beyond the level of discipline. It is not only that I am helping because I am a generous, rather I would like to breed the culture of generosity that everybody can see the beauty of generosity. When we help others for a return, we are looking for something in return. The Imam says that this return could be obvious. Sometimes you will receive it in this life. And sometimes it is not obvious to you. But definitely it is being put in your account in the here after. See the level of the wisdom of this. When you take, I need to elaborate a little bit on this. When you have a child, five years old, four years old, you give him a candy or you give him $100 bill. Which one he would enjoy the most? The candy of course. The candy. He loves the candy. Why? Because this is tangible, immediate, only appealing to his shallow senses. But in fact, this candy with this $100 bill, he can buy tons of these candies. But he doesn't appreciate this $100 bill. Why? Because it is not right tangible to him. The Imam is navigating through the matters in a deep fashion. Showing that maybe you helped, but don't consider yourself that you are doing somebody else's favor. In fact, the favor is returned to you. But when do you get to appreciate that is in the here after. In the here after when you see the rewards are multiplying a lot. Maybe you don't feel it here. You tell a guy, I will do a business with you. You put $100, then this by the end of the month becomes $200. Either you take this or I want one night of worship for you. That you just spend it in worship. He would probably choose the first choice. Why? Because he needs the $200. But he's not very mindful of that night that God would equate it to one thousand month. What kind of business that gives you thousands upon thousands of return and enfolds in return. When do we get to grasp this when our thoughts are elevated? When we can see the whole picture. At that time we realize that how much fortunate we are when we do a good thing. The Imam emphasized on this fact that when you do something nice, something good to others. The first beneficiary is yourself, before others, before this beggar or before this cause or before this school. And that's the essence of Jawad. Alongside from that, Imam Jawad was only eight years old. What you just discussed right there, he began his generosity, his extreme generosity if you will, at such a young age that people doubted that that was the Imam. At the tender age of eight, it's no apparent that no cause or means that would lead such a young boy to become the Imam. Any ordinary child wouldn't be able. But yet we do find, yes, he did come from the House of Revelation, the House of Prophet Muhammad, but alongside that Imam Jawad, at the age of eight, he did not just be a child who played with the other children. He debated with high scholars, he debated with people that no ordinary old man was able enough to discuss matters that were not even able for him to discuss at such a young age. But if you want to discuss how the Imam became an actual Imam at the age of eight, some narrations say nine, how is it possible for a young boy to become an Imam at that age? This needs, again, a little bit of introduction, some couple minutes introduction for this topic that you raised. You see Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la has sent the Prophet as his messengers, dispatched Prophet to the humanity, to human being. What is the evidence? I mean anyone could question the authenticity of the message that any person bring that this is connected to the Divine Message or not. The Almighty Allah has supplied all prophets, messengers with certain acts, certain deeds that becomes evidence for others. When they see, once they see these evidence, they believe that these are connected to the Almighty Allah. Now the Imam, when we say Imam, Imam is an extension of the Prophethood. We know that the Prophet, peace be upon him, lived only with his own people, carrying the message for 23 years. Thirteen years were only in Mecca, which was only simple regulations, only prayers, qulul la ilaha illallah tufli hur, a citation of Quran. The rest of regulations, ahkam, deeds, those all came when the Prophet, peace be upon him, was in Medina. Only for a span of ten years, definitely a huge religion, a huge message like Islam cannot be delivered within ten years. Therefore there must be a need for someone to succeed the Prophet to carry this message and present it to the public. Therefore we the followers of Ahlul Bayt believe that the Imam is the extension of the Prophethood. He's connected to the Prophet and getting the message and its authenticity and its immaculate nature to the people. Therefore the Imam also needs to be verified, needs to be evidence. He needs to be also put into challenge so people can realize that this man is truly connected to the Prophet and is truly connected to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Now let's look at the Imam, peace be upon him. When you look at the history at the time, I'm sure you and our dear viewers and everybody have heard about the Islamic Golden Age. We know at certain time Islam as an empire has dominated the globe. At time that the Islam start its advancement, especially in the field of science, astronomy, medical, science, biology, math, literature, these, the advent of that time was at the time of the Abbasis. And it was in fact between Harun and Al-Ma'mun Al-Abbasi. The historians say that the time that the House of Wisdom, Bayt al-Hikmah was erected in Baghdad. It says that the whole population at the time were knowledge seeking people. Therefore you see that the Islamic empire has transpassed all other cultures and civilizations. Why? Because the majority of Muslims at that time were seeking knowledge and not only an ordinary knowledge, advanced level of knowledge. I tell you this. It was written by a BBC correspondent. If I am not wrong, his name is James Montagomri or Montagomri James, I can find the right to quote. Yes. Who says that the budget that was allocated to Bayt al-Hikmah, House of Wisdom, that Al-Ma'mun appointed Hunain ibn Ishaq, a scientist, to oversee the translations of the Latin and Roman books, the Greek, Roman, and basically the Latin books from their original language to Arabic. Thousands upon thousands of books have been translated into Arabic. This gentleman, the BBC correspondent says, and this has been said in 2012. He said that the budget allocated for Bayt al-Hikmah at the time was almost double the number of the Medical Research Council in the United Kingdom, in Great Britain. Medical Research Council is an institute that distributes grants to all scientific fields, billions upon billions of dollars and euros that they spend. Now Bayt al-Hikmah at the time was spending twice as much as the Medical Research Council today on research and science. Therefore that much of knowledge has been flourished. Everybody was knowledgeable enough. So in a set challenging state, an eight years old, nine years old person like Al-Ma'mun, Al-Jawad, al-Assalam, comes to put others on challenge. I mean, just to see that as well, I mean, we can go into a short break and come back. I'll comment on that very quickly, but respected viewers. After the break, inshallah, we're going to discuss proofs regarding the Imam of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad. That's after the break. Stay tuned. Al-Jawad, Al-Yana, and all the present, we celebrate every year, the birth of the Prophet, we celebrate every year, the birth of the Prophet. We pray to the Prophet, the first of Muhammad, and we pray to the Prophet, the first of Muhammad, and we pray to the Prophet. Welcome back, respected viewers, I hope you, inshallah, enjoyed that short report. Back to the discussion with my dear guest. I know I promised you that we're going to discuss some proof regarding and some evidences recording the Imam of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad at the age of nine. Before the break, you gave a brief introduction regarding how can a boy at such a young age, nine years old or eight years old, become the Imam. I know you brought some narrations of Bayt al-Hikmah and how the Arabs were somewhat knowledgeable at that time. It was the peak of Islam, if you will. All the sciences were introduced, all the, you know, we have mathematicians. We have, you know, it was the peak of Islam, if you want to summarize it. But can you continue the discussion of how can a young boy become an Imam at such a young age? Sure. If you look at the words of the Imams, alayhim as-salam, even the Prophet, be upon him. There is one thing that all 12 Imams, including the Prophet, be upon him, have acclaimed throughout their history, is that the Imams are chosen by the Almighty Allah. Yes.  And they are infallibles. In every occasion, every single Imam would remind his followers and even the foes that he is the most knowledgeable person. Starting with Amir al-Mumineen, alayhim as-salam, Imam Ali, that many times he used to tell his followers and companions and everybody, saluni, qabla and tafquduni, ask me, ask me, challenge me, put me to challenge so you can see the proof. So the proof of the Imam, the proof of the infallibility could be seen by the amount of knowledge of the Ahl al-Bayt, alayhim as-salam. This is number one. Second, the Imams would emphasize on this fact that age is irrelevant to them. You can ask anyone who is the Imam, whether he is a 5 years old person or 15 years old or 40 years old or 69 years old. All of the Imams give you the same answer. What does that tell you? The mode of receiving knowledge that the Imams used to get is completely different than the mode of getting the knowledge where ordinary people like us get. The difference is how. You choose a scientist. You choose a thinker, a scholar. Look at the early stages where he started to proliferate and write and become an author until the last stage where he produced them all. For example, choose Albert Einstein. At the beginning, he used to come up with different hypotheses. Sometimes they would hit the targets and sometimes they would miss. By time, fine-tuning started until he reached the ultimate position with his own relativity theory that he came up with. Take any literary, take any thinker. When you look at the style and the contents of his knowledge, you see it's reaching perfection by age, by time, except the Imams.  Look at their words when they are adults. Look at their words when they are at the last stage of their life. You see it's only a constant line. Look at Nahj Al-Balaqa, for example. Over 30 years, the Imam is giving his short sermons, letters, and words of wisdom. Look at the beginning and look at the end and look at the middle. You'll see they are all constant at what level. What does that tell you? That the mode of knowledge that the Imams used to get is completely different from the public and second is age independent, meaning that it has nothing to do with their ages, whether they are small or they are big, whether they are adults or children, knowledge comes to them at constant rates. Because the Imams have knowledge of the unseen, but overlooking that, they have been witness to that from the enemies. The enemies of Ahl al-Bait, for example, will take Yazid, may Allah curse him. He says, They're old ones, their elders are incomparable, and their young ones are like a burning coal that you cannot stumble upon. So we do find that whether they are old or young, Ahl al-Bait are still similar. Even on the day of Ashura, when Imam Hussein asked the army of Ibn Ziyad to feed water to his little infant, Abdullah al-Radia, their words, it's killed this infant, why? Because this infant to them, to the eye of enemy, is as trouble making as Imam Hussein himself, because age is irrelevant and relevant to Ahl al-Bait. Now what the Imam used to invite the opponents always, to put them to test. It would have been very easy for governments, especially at the time of Abbasis, where knowledge has flourished, where there used to be hundreds upon hundreds of scientists and scholars and judges and jurists, they could take the challenge and bring the Imams in public debates and ask them difficult questions. When they cannot answer, then they will be exposed, they will be discredited. In fact, the governments did, but what happened is that they failed. As the story with Imam Al-Jawad, a boy at age of nine years old, at the court of Al-Ma'mun, sitting there, where Ben Al-Abbas came to Al-Ma'mun, complaining that why you have a brat such as a young child, and you have given him so much respect and attention.  So they ask Al-Ma'mun, why, what is the significance of this boy that you have brought him, and you have signified him so much? Al-Ma'mun told him, ask him, simple, bring the most knowledgeable person in town and let's put him to challenge and find out. They brought, they brought the grand jurist, like the supreme justice in town. A man called Yahya ibn Akhtam, Qadil Qudat, he was a judge. He came in front of Al-Ma'mun, started asking Al-Ama'm Al-Jawad. A single question, only a single question, he asked him, Yabna Rasulillah, ma taqool fi muhrimin qatala saida. What is your answer for someone who is in a state of ehram, you know the ehram is when we go to the rituals of Hajj, when we participate in the rituals of Hajj, we enter the state of ehram. There are 25 things that are forbidden, that we, it's basically a sanctuary that we need to observe while we are in state of ehram. He asked a simple question. Now look at the wisdom, the astuteness and the genius status of the Imam. Well the Imam could have given him the answer. He could give many answers and all of those answers could fit the questions. But the Imam put the man into challenge. He told him, is that so? Only with a single question, you need to elaborate. You need to tell me if this man was in the state of ehram for Hajj or for Umrah. Whether the catch, the prey was large or small. Whether it was a bird or mammalian. Was it at night or during the day? Did he really mean it or he didn't mean it? Or by mistake he asked him basically 25 questions. Each of those a question, there are branches that can be derived from a single question. Of course the man was timid, he couldn't answer anything.  That incident made al-ma'moon to decide right in that moment to marry the Imam with his daughter Umma al-Fadal. InshaAllah in the upcoming session we will be talking about the youth and marriage and the marriage of the Imam. So therefore I leave the story to that. But al-ma'moon made the Imam and the Imam accepted at age 8 or 9. That was the age of the Imam. Now the Imam asked, he basically flipped the table and told al-ma'moon would I be able to ask this gentleman now? Of course the person was already demoralized for the, as you call it, face-saving. He said, please Yabna Rasulallah ask me if I know the answer I will tell, otherwise I will seek your guidance. And of course the Imam posed another question to him. Basically he said, what would you say about someone in relation to some lady at the beginning of the day, this lady is haram to him, meaning that's alien, there is no connection, forbidden.  Then later at noon became forbidden, then during afternoon at time of afternoon again she became allowed to him. Then during the sunset she became forbidden. Then after Asha prayers she became halal to him and allowed, permissible to him. Then at midnight she became again forbidden to him. Then at the time of dawn she became halal to him. Of course the man was completely lost, not only him, all scholars because to his credit Al-Ma'moon was very, you know, science loving person, knowledge loving, unlike many of Bani Al-Abbas, he was very pro-knowledge, wisdom and science, therefore his court instead of bringing you know hooligans and people who make, you know, they just want to make money stuff, so he would laugh, he would bring scientists, scholars, literaries to educate himself and to educate his court. Therefore at that time it wasn't only him, they were multiples of those scholars sitting and listening, none of them could even answer. Now the Imam gave the answer. I mean that's just one proof that the Imam, that young boy, Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad was the actual Imam because people tried to refute him, they tried to, you know, rebuttal and debate with him to see if he was actually the Imam or not, he proved right there. But before that incident what made Al-Ma'moon attracted to the Imam is that a short story I would like to narrate if you will Sayedna, once when the young Imam was on his way to Baghdad he came across the Ma'moon's party returning from a hunting trip. All the other children that were playing on the street, all of them ran away except for the Imam, he stood in the middle of the street and Ma'moon asked the young Imam, why did you not run away like the other children? Imam Alaihissalam replied with such a very eloquent reply, he says, the road is wide enough for all of you to go through and neither I have sinned so I don't know what's the purpose behind me, you know, running with the other children and Ma'moon then asked the Imam to identify himself, after finding out and Ma'moon, he asked and Ma'moon as you mentioned, just a side note, you know, it's unfortunate to admit but yet he was the most knowledgeable Abbasid, of all the Abbasid rulers, he was the most knowledgeable and that's weird to see that, but after finding out he asked the Imam what he had in his hand, he put something in his hand and he asked him, Imam Alaihissalam replied, he says, Allah has created tiny fish in the river, these fish are hunted by kings and the descendants of Prophet Muhammad and the vice-gerents of Allah reveal that secret, right there and then he know that this person, he knew that this person is, you know, not, he's serious and that person should be the one that he needs to get close to him because as we've seen with his father, Ma'moon brought Ma'moon close to him and then yet he killed him, so he tries to get close to Ahlul Bayt, he has one intention in mind which I'll, inshallah narrate in the upcoming time or next episode, but what is another proof for the Imam of Imam Muhammad Al-Jawad? You see, when you look at the way that the Imam Alaihissalam posed the questions and gave the answers, you could see that it is out of ordinary, it is not, it is, it's basically we call it thinking outside of the box, where you take a hole and you chop it off into pieces and you can see those little pieces into the, in relation to that big, you know, big complete hole. Yes, that is a sign of a genius. That's a sign of somebody who's thinking extra-ordinary, that ordinary people cannot see, cannot visualize. Yes. When you see something far east and connected to far west, in such a beautiful manner, it means that you have seen the entire picture, that nothing has going away from, hidden from you. Basically, he has the knowledge of the unseen. Now, when the Ma'amun posed this question, what is in my hand? The Imam, at that age, when he smiled and told him that, you know, God makes, as you have said, makes fish in such small fish in the sea, and then the eagle goes and grab the fish and bring it to you, so you put me to test. What you have in your hand is a fish. As you have said, he's telling the unseen things that ordinary people have no idea about. Now, is that called al-Qaib? Is that what we called the knowing of the absentia? Or this knowing is coming from, from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that is coming from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, in whale and other. Our ulama says that, ahlul bayt, alayhum as-salam, when they know this world of unseen, basically, they have acquired it from the Prophet, peace be upon him, who have taken it from the Almighty. Almighty is the only one who knows the knowledge of absentia or the knowledge of unseen that we call it al-Qaib. However, sometimes when he finds the right representative, the good person, he gives him a glimpse, a glimpse of things that can be seen, it can be seen in the future. And a glimpse that can be, that have been, have been happened, that have taken place in the past that others don't know about. For example, the wife of Imam Hussein, the Shah Zanan, for example, the daughter of, of, of the Kisla, of the King, the Persian King, when she was brought to Medina, the Imam, alayhum as-salam, told her stories about herself when she was young, at an early age. Nobody has even knew about that. She has not even told anyone, let alone Imam Ali about it. Where did he get this knowledge from the knowledge that the Prophet has given him? The Imam, alayhum as-salam says, on the, on the, on the last day of the Prophet, peace be upon him, says, The Prophet, peace be upon him, has taught me a thousand gates of knowledge. From each gate, 1,000 gates open. That much diversity in knowledge, the Prophet, peace be upon him, has given the Imam and of course the Imam in turn, he gave it to his children and his children have passed it to their grandchildren until it got it to, to the Imam, alayhum as-salam. Now the scholars say, this type of knowledge is completely different than the type of knowledge that we receive. Number one, we receive this in an acquired form. We acquire the knowledge over a longest span of time, and we keep it in the mind. But the Imam, alayhum as-salam, his knowledge not only rests in the mind, also rests in the heart. That's why he doesn't forget. That's why he doesn't, you know, become absent from him. Always, this is vivid to him. Why? Because it's laid in his heart. Do we have a few minutes or a short of time? Yeah, go ahead. We have about two, one or two minutes. I will give you an example. Yes. Sometimes when you take a piece of information, by time we may keep it or we may lose it. Why do we lose it? Because it's right here in the brain. And, you know, other new information overlaps and take over and kick the old information away. But when it's as a feeling and inside the heart, it never goes away. Do we forget that we are hungry? Nobody want. Do we forget that we are thirsty? No, why? Because this is a feeling. It's not only the brain. Yes, the entire body feels the state of hungry, the state of hunger, the state of thirst, the same thing for the Imam. His knowledge is disseminated throughout his entire body. Therefore, his entire body feels that piece of information. And that piece of information keep him away from sin.  It's like an immunization shot that he will get and he becomes immune to the sin. No, he becomes immune to the sin, not by an immunization shot, rather by his knowledge. Because his knowledge is so vivid, so clear to him that he can see the consequences of sins. Yes. The there are precautions of sin. If if if something happened, if he does such mistake, then what are the grave consequences after that? Because that's very tangible to us is not tangible. We don't feel the consequences of this sin. Therefore we forget.  But when we reach that level, which is the level of yaqeen certainty, meaning that we see the evidence, we see the result of our sins, as I can see you now and you see me. If we get to that point that we see the results of the sins, we abstain from sins. Allah SWT says in Surah Al-Takathar Al-Haqum Al-Takathar حَتَّازُرْتُمُ الْمَقَابِرْ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينَ Then what does it say? لَتَرَوْنَ الْجَحِينَ What does it mean? If you reach certainty, that level of certainty, you will see the hellfire. Not in the hereafter, in this life. In this life you will see the hellfire. So whoever reaches certainty through his knowledge from this strong spirit that he will have, he will see the consequences. And the result of the sins, therefore he becomes abstain, then he abstain from sin. Yes. And that's what the imams used to do. Definitely. I mean, when we do look at the life of the imams, we do find them having and possessing divine knowledge of the unseen from Allah SWT. But I would like to thank you Sayyidna for joining us tonight. May Allah SWT bless you on this auspicious occasion. Respective viewers. Thank you very much for tuning in tonight. I mean, we have began the episode with a short introduction of how can people be ruled by such a person, such a young person. Yet that person is not an ordinary man, as we have been discussing. He is Imam Muhammad Al-Jawaat, PCB upon him. So thank you very much for tuning in tonight. May Allah SWT once again bless you on this auspicious occasion.
