Please welcome Marco Ben-Kuhn. Thanks Michael. Hi Ron. I'm Marco. I work at Shift Crypto. We're based out of Switzerland and we're producing hardware wallets out of Bitbox. Today I want to talk about security issues in crypto software wallets and more so from the perspective of software devs that want to write a wallet or maybe want to integrate with wallets. More so than this than from a user perspective where I'm sure you all already know how to secure cryptocurrencies. I also am going to mention a couple of issues that are probably obvious to many of you but still I don't want to talk about the standard stuff like which data type do you use to represent Satoshi and so on. I want to talk about stuff that I see in current wallets that are not addressed properly. I want to kick this up with a small history lesson. So a couple years back there was an issue in an Android wallet and a couple guys posted on Bitcoin Talk with the same issue. They had an address, they sent some coins to it and immediately the coins were stolen. And a very suspicious thing, the address had previous activity before they made it. So it's a classic so the guy already suspected correctly, suspected correctly that it's about a bad random number generator and it was completely right. So I want to go in and dissect the bug in detail. Roughly 235 people have been affected for the 5 Bitcoin lost by this bug. So this is the function that used to create the secret key that is used to create the public key that is used to create the receiving address, right? So fairly standard stuff. There's a secure random class from Java. They replace the standard provider with their own that streams data from slash def slash u random. And then there's this extra seed that they mix in. And here the set seed looks like it would replace the original seed but it doesn't. They make sure to override the function and actually mix the entropy. So everything looks good. So what is this extra seed? We wonder. So this is the function that is called to set the extra seed. It's called seed from random org. And it's the random org generator that they implemented. And this streams random data from random.org. Public service to give you random data. So you might think that's a little strange. Do I really trust some sites to give me random data? Probably not. But in the end, if you actually properly mix it with XORing, then everything should be all right. You can, in the worst case, just have the same entropy as before. But more doesn't hurt really. Okay. Also small race condition I can spot here. There's a thread running to set the extra seed. But here the seed is set at some other point in time. You know, who knows if the seed is actually fetched in time with the extra seed. So let's look at the code that gets the random data from that URL. So I want to go through this like code review style, like if you were in the company and I review your request. So I started at the top and I see HTTP. Okay, that sounds a little bit right. Why isn't it HTTPS? You know, there could be a line in the middle, et cetera, et cetera. Right? So then, you know, connection is made, get request, I'll find some connection timeouts. And then there's this line which says that if random.org would to respond with, you know, redirect response, then this should be ignored and we should just get the data from there. At least I would just question the offer if, you know, there must be a reason he put it there. Maybe he thought it was some way, maybe if you check the result or something, but I don't see any of this here. And in fact, random.org did redirect to the HTTPS version. They started enforcing that. And this is the response that they gave. So because the redirect error was, the redirect code was ignored, this was what they got. And then also suspicious, you know, in the end, you would hope to check for a 200 okay response. Or if not that, you would maybe if you get data from a untrusted source, you would check that the output is what you think it is. For example, we have the length up there and it's the length here, but we don't actually check if the output is the correct length. So what happens is in the end, bad luck, the random data from random.org is just those bytes, more than 32, but it doesn't work. So constant. But going back to the set seat, you know you think, okay well, so that data didn't help, but it also didn't hurt because set seat as I said before is XORing the data, so all is cool, right? What's the worst that could happen? Well, this is the function they used to set the provider data, like their own implementation to overwrite the standard implementation of secure random. And you can see it gets the data from your dash dash dash u random, all is good and it's set up here. But if the file does not exist, then u random is set to null and there is no exception thrown. So the implementation falls back to the standard one from Android. And that one doesn't XOR the data, it just overrides it. So there we have it. So the public key that they generated randomly ended up being a constant from random.org. It doesn't help that the random secure provider by Android in some versions also has severe bugs where the entropy is not 128 bits, it's just 31 because they just zero some black bits. And you know what are the take-aways from this? You know we all get it, you're a startup, you have, you know, products to market and the opportunity cost to write unit tests is high and to do lots of core reviews is high. And I think it's forgivable if you don't have full coverage on like in areas where bugs are at most an annoyance but if it touches your balance or your crypto keys or crypto in general, like if you should have reviews and functional tests. And I think at least one review would have got at least one of the five issues before which I would have prevented this outcome. The other take-away is if you fail, fail loudly, for example if dash, um, dash u random is not available, you should just abort an exception and not think, you can rely on something else. And the third and the most difficult part is to test your assumptions. Like in this part they assume that the, um, the random source is available on all platforms but it turned out not to be the case. And it's a hard part because often times you really don't know what your assumptions are. Like it, for me it helps to just take a step back and consciously figure out what am I assuming if I write this code. Like recently I had to port over some users from Bit by Wallet service to our wallet and I assumed their gap limit was 20. In fact it was unlimited for all versions so you know, it's easy to just assume stuff even if you write the code but it's, it's good to double check those things. Next I want to do a quick note on address placing malware. Of course we all know them, there's malware out there that, you know, hijacks your clipboard and replaces your receiving addresses or just browser extensions or Tor proxy stuff of the same. And one funny instance of that was when the ransomware locker instructed their victims to pay their ransom to them via Tor proxy and the Tor proxy decided in turn to replace the address. So the Tor proxy was stealing from both the victims and the ransomware offer and they complained about that as well. It's like, I heard. And there's a couple of ways you could deal with this and we are not there yet. I think in the end we will have a world where people are not copy pasting addresses of course. And there are various avenues to deal with this. One I'm interested personally is in a kind of a standard where hardware wallets can be plugged in into any service and you can just transmit your keys in a secure way without any copy pasting. So one area that also interests me is memory errors. I've looked at various wallet implementations and I don't see many actually giving this the proper attention that it deserves. You know, bitflips coming from cosmic rays or etc are way too improbable to actually hit your private key or whatever but old memory units that start to fail or degrade in bad ways they can actually make your life bad. Where does this manifest? If you generate the public key, you know you multiply your private key by the generator then you have a public key. If you have a bitflip or an error in the memory there then send funds to it, it's lost. Or what if you derive public keys from an XPUB also if you don't double check the result you could actually have a mistake in the hashing that is involved and also get an error. Also backups of course if you make a backup you should check that it produces the right private keys. And well this is Bitcoin core implementation. It generates a public key and it immediately checks that the public key is valid by signing something. I think they could probably go a step further and also check it before making use of it. Yeah if you have any hashing involved like keyboard key, password stretching, derivations then it doesn't hurt to do it twice in different memory locations just to reduce the likelihood. And then most wallet software also just keeps the data in memory without any check systems or error correcting codes which could be an issue. Yeah, actually if you store a public key you're better off just storing the address instead if the only thing we're going to do is receive money on it. Except you're in Ethereum land where you know checks are for buses. Next topic is pretty trivial and I'm kind of embarrassed to even speak about it but I feel I have to because I've seen so many local web servers running without any authentication. And you might be you know a guy that wants to someday try to make a local web service that's Bitcoin, RPC or Lightning clients whatever and you think because you're local it doesn't matter because I'm the only user I connect to it and no one else so I don't need any authentication. But you know most people are not aware that browsers can access local host and I don't mean like local host if you type in local host in the URL I mean every website can do this. Small exchange here, one guy also like I was in his shoes a couple years ago I thought this was ridiculous but to be honest I'm unsure why browsers even allow this. Anyway case in point there was an issue in Electrum last year and Electrum as you may know is like one of the most used and widely popular wallets and they also enable the JSON RPC over HTTP by default and it had no password protection so every website that you go to could in fact steal your privacy at least and your coins at best or the other way. Not only websites can do this also like if you're a shared web server or if you have users on your machine or maybe you know you have a local Apache running and there's a guy that can hack in and escalates privileges to the user WWW-user then they can of course just scan the local ports and access your server even if it's a different user. Of course without saying if you have authentication you should also use SSL otherwise people can just sniff your authentication and I think I have to check but I think I need to file an issue also with Electrum they still don't have SSL there. Fishing is one of the worst problems in the world wide web because it can be arbitrarily sophisticated like there's no real way to just eliminate the threat of it. It's just a red trace.  Guy from the Monero community, the Hayoho guy made a nice instructional post so this wasn't real but I was showing how you can buy a VPS and some adverts and make a fake URL like with the small unicode O very subtle so no one will see this to scan people into going to my Monero and giving after private keys. And you know there is something you can do about this which is use hardware especially U2F and hardware wallets they go a very, very long way in solving a lot of the problems. Of course it's not fail safe but it helps a lot. Like Google mentioned they haven't had a single fishing attempt, a successful fishing attempt since they introduced or required U2F. Even more than using U2F and hardware wallets which help you because you know you don't give up your private keys, you actually have to confirm manually on your device that you're giving up your coins. The hardware wallets can help you if they implement something like whitelist. So this is an excerpt from the Bitbox firmware. Like couple of web wallets are just whitelisted and if you connect anywhere else it just doesn't work and couple of our users send us thank you notes because they went on myforwallets.com or whatever and they couldn't connect and they were happy that nothing worse happened. I'm toying with an idea it's like early stage I don't know but like in the web you can eliminate fishing attempts this way because the browser makes sure that the URL is encoded in the U2F protocol but what if you download a native app which in many ways is more secure than a U2F but there you're out of luck. I'm thinking maybe you could use hardware to install or launch any kind of wallets locally after making integrity checks. Also please like I don't see nearly enough services supporting U2F like there's Dropbox and GitHub etc but I'm thinking Bitcoin exchanges, Monero exchanges like all of them still are stuck with Google authenticator which is not secure. I wanna do a brief note on the choice of the text tech if you wanna build a web wallet or a wallet and I don't wanna go into you know too many of the hot topics where people debate if this is better or not. Just wanna make couple points here. One is that if you have a web wallet in the browser even though you might be safer from fishing attacks a browser is just a wild west of security like I mean everything goes especially if you have a malicious browser prevention that then subverts your fishing prevention like they can just put in arbitrary data and you know you can I know you can ask the user to move their funds to a secure location because Trezor said so but it's not Trezor it's just some extension. All of those web wallets would be probably better off packaging just in a native app. Of course the most popular one is Electrum a lot of apps run on Electrum I'm not a big fan it has issues because in the front end as well as in the back end there's JavaScript so the bridge to you know remote code execution is very small you just have to find a small hole and then you have access to everything and not send bugs by default end and end but there's other easier ways you can use QT with web engine or you could use the Chromium embedded framework they are more secure and also just almost just as easy to actually build. You know most people use web front ends because they are easier to build. They use less resources you have more talent more access to people can use it but of course if you have the resources you know skip the web part altogether and do native like when Erugui is a great example. Yeah quick note on programming languages as I said before if you use JavaScript in the front end and back end you might have some issues if you see a lot of memory issues really hard to get rid of even if you are very careful and people tend to gravitate towards those two languages because they run everywhere like JavaScript on some Android iOS C++ as well and you know practically every wallet is one of those two languages nowadays and I just want to make the point that since maybe last year and go and Rust and other languages that compile to C are a very viable alternative and you can use them effectively to make a full application on Android iOS Mac Windows Linux server and you know you don't have any remote execution well no buffer or flows no smash protection that you have to put in place and privacy it's not only about security if you leak your privacy you're also not secure I don't want to go too much into why privacy matters I want to just refer you to this great guy Glenn Greenwald and check out this YouTube video it's amazing. Today's wallet leak your privacy for example before blockchain.info's Android wallet if you go to random.org then they know and their provider knows and their hosting center knows that you're using this Android wallet which is not great you know if you use Electrum servers if you use My Monero any web wallet treasure if they connect to a server you're leaking privacy maybe not to the same level but you are we can educate users about VPN and Tor and integrate it into the wallet and make it a one click experience but I think this is still probably not feasible or too hard I want to you know encourage every wallet offer to be to enable the user to connect your own full node and our wallet that we just recently released for the Bitbox does that from the start like I think it's very important but more so I want to dream about the world where everyone has a plug and play node that they can install next to the router and it's just everything in a very simple manner and with a bit of luck we can reach that goal like a shift we've been tying a little bit with the idea like an intern made some mocks and we are tying with the idea how or if this would be a good you know good future I do think this would be amazing so where does this leave us with Monero you have noticed that my talk has been focused mostly on Bitcoin and stuff like that other coins in Monero the current state is that they are Monero is a little bit behind Bitcoin maybe a couple of years in terms of the wallet experience there is Monero GUI and Monero and Client there is mymonero.com and that's basically it that's that's what the date and my Monero makes no like effort to be secure it's by chat by deliberate they have a really nice disclaimer that it's not secure so that's okay the Monero GUI is awesome it is a full node it runs everything is good but of course users will want to have light clients eventually because running your node is very difficult especially so so I expect in the next couple of years to see a lot more like wallets being implemented for Monero on various platforms and then maybe you can take away some of that today thank you which implications so institutions have different requirements than end users mostly and as of today there is no good solutions for institutions to start doing real business on top of crypto but a lot of companies are in the space like trying to make those solutions yeah if you're gonna have a hard time as an institution just pull together some of the existing clients and hardware wallets and do something on your own it works most like banks and institutions are doing it today to crazy amounts of money but I wouldn't recommend it and solutions are being rolled out as we speak I haven't thought about it a lot I don't think well intuitively speaking I don't think verifiable remote hardware works I might be wrong although it still might be a reasonable solution there's never you're secure or insecure there's levels and if you can have a remote hardware which you can trust in some ways but not fully then that's good and it's a step in the direct direction still in the end I think it's best if you can have your own at home also like your own node if you buy it from a company like us then how do you trust that like the goal is of course also to have an instruction to build it yourself with off the shelf very cheap hardware and all that stuff I'll get it, come again I'll talk about Monero is the first choice for what, sorry so I was asking that this coin maybe because of privacy it's kind of first choice for the actors like exploit kids they drop the crime wares and any crime wares that involve crypto miners do you really drop for Monero? I still couldn't get the part of Monero I think you're asking if about malicious activity of Monero and privacy right so I just want to refer you to this one over here I urge you to watch it like this mirrors my view on privacy thank you yeah thank you


You come from a profoundly religious background, don't you? I do is there a connection between what eventually happened with you? at a level of mental health and that religious background and then Just to throw a monkey wrench on top of the monkey wrench Okay, I'm gonna try to explain it simply what is actually very complex I was gonna throw my second wrench first. Oh, there's two rings. There are two wrenches ready Okay, the first is I want to know the connection between your religious background and where you ended up mentally, right? The second is I kind of want to tease something that needs to come up in the conversation There's a lot of literature these days about the so-called De-churching of America the increased Secularization of America the turning away from faith just generally across the board I as a Jew frankly find the term de-churching a little chauvinistic, but okay, we'll let it be it's like hello There are non-christians out there, but okay So on the one hand, I'm inviting you to comment on the religious background that you come from and how it played into it On the other hand, I'm inviting either of you to comment on Whether in a religious perspective or in the community Affiliation that we get from churches. There is in fact something that would contribute Sense of community to people's mental health. Yeah so my journey is a very personal and individual journey I Was four years old when my parents got visited by a Christian religion and they accepted that religion and I grew up in that religion So I didn't know any better But what I found out later many years later of suffering and turmoil is that I'm Even though I am a person of faith I do believe in God and I move back to this day to this day, but I'm not a religious person I don't sit well with rules and structures. Mm-hmm. That's not me Mm-hmm, and that was part of my distress Not knowing that this was me the proverbial trying to fit the square page of the round Absolutely, that was my my issue But I didn't know that so instead of because of my strong faith I couldn't really Look into myself and say hey, maybe you just don't belong in this religion. So what the mind does It tricks you and it pushes you into anxiety It pushes you into a severe depression and it helps you collapse. So you start Cocooning That was my experience that was your experience You know what a new understanding of a word has just come to me and I want to check it out with both of you correct me if I'm wrong, but you kind of had a Bipolar existence didn't you yeah, I did you had The role you were supposed to play the family and absolutely you were supposed to fit into and over here Is the real human being Pedro Diaz? Later known as Peter Diaz okay, but Am I right that there was absolutely my polarity to your absolutely and this was my issue I had tipped all the boxes and I was good at it. I wasn't I was an elder in the congregation You know I was good and yet I was not happy because I wasn't living my real life as such and Of course as part of my journey. I thought but this is it religion is done So does that mean I don't believe in God and for a few years I was like You know Well, God doesn't like me because I've let my religion obviously he can't like me But but I still believe in him. I still feel a connection. I still feel his guiding hand so to the other Do the other stuff that we were talking about I? Believe that religion has got a very important role in society Religion can hold society together and I think part of the problems that we can we see now Is that religion has taken a third a? Third step of importance for people sometimes, you know It's funny that you say third step because there is the idea of thesis Antithesis and synthesis and in a way what you did was Integrated synthesize exactly you integrated. I have a question for you Oh, yeah, but that's a difficult journey to go through and there's a lot of turmoil and when we're talking about mental health We often talk about these metaphors of people going into the cave or into the forest or into the hole and they need to kind of Figure out how they're going to synthesize that So they can come out and recover and there are as we said earlier So many stories of people who have come through that process and when they've studied them because Academics like to study everything There's two themes that the academic and you never They they find these two things that keep coming out in people's stories Concepts of spirituality the other one is sexuality that none of the professionals ever want to talk about because it's kind of taboo And we don't want to go there We just want to focus on that medical kind of approach, but it's so important for so many people It has to be a kind of conversation on the table to be had Have you have you said I just want to make a side note People can experience the symptoms of mental health distress Through physical things that are happening in their body For example, you can experience the symptoms of schizophrenia if you get given a Medication and then all of a sudden you start hallucinating. That's basically schizophrenia For you can experience depression with a number of medications that people receive regularly some of them don't respond well to it But this is not an illness. It's just a response to something Women can women and men we can be hormonal and that can also produce distress We've got postpartum depression as well and prepartum this depression in effect But that is completely different to the To the other aspect that we're talking about the existential Crisis that for some reason we used to talk about it and it was strong before the 80s and Now we don't tend to talk about it and that's why so many people have got problems believing that you can actually recover because they don't understand the mental health is at core An existential crisis that needs to be resolved Hi, I'm Emmy Golding director of psychology for the Workplace Mental Health Institute We hope you liked the video if you did make sure to give it a thumbs up We have more and more videos being released each week So when you subscribe you'll get a notification letting you know when a new one's just been published so make sure to hit that subscribe button and Don't miss out on this vital information for yourself your colleagues and your loved ones


وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله الحمد لله يا رب العالمين مهل الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدوى الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وشدوى نسيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد تلين شاء الله تعالى the first man is that I wanted to speak about is الحياة وشينس from one of the greatest characteristics and etiquettes that a person can adorn himself with is الحياة وشينس and this term الحياة مشتقون it is rooted from and it's taken from من الحياة life with that the scholars they mention فكلما عظمت الحياة every time a person's life becomes great in their heart عظم الحياة with the shyness becomes great as well so every single time your life becomes better your shyness also becomes better so they connected and every single time your life becomes weak in your heart and in your soul ضعف الحياة but shyness also becomes weak ولذلك عمار القطاب رضي الله تعالى عنه he said anyone who's shyness decreases قل ورعه he's fear of doubtful issues also reduces يعني ورع means if something is doubtful whether it's حلال or حرام to stay away from it that reduces as well the person starts to dwell in that which is impermissible if your shyness goes low committing haram becomes easy for you ومن قل ورعه ما تقلبه when your ورع goes your heart dies it's written in his كتاب مكاريم الأخلاق so this shows us that a person's life and shyness are connected and when your life reduces your shyness also reduces and once your shyness reduces your ورع reduces you're a person who dwells into that which is haram commits that which is haram and also your heart then dies from this may Allah SWT give us shyness give us ورع and protect our hearts from dying حيام I beloved brothers and sisters shyness is معدن الأخلاق shyness is the force of good manners it is منبع المعاملات الكريمة people's good interactions where it springs from is shyness every single good as the messenger he told us comes from shyness shyness doesn't come except with that which is good the prophet told us أمراري بن حصينين رضي الله تعالى عنه he said that the messenger said الحياء لا يأتي إلا بخير shyness does not bring except good بخاري المسلم the person who shy who's got shyness in them nothing comes from them except that which is good أبي قتادة كنا عند أمراري بن حصينين أبي قتادة said we were in the gathering of أمراري بن حصينين is a noble companion في رحت منا a group of us وفينا بوشير وفينا بوشير بن كعبن and with us was بوشير بن كعبن بوشير بن كعبن was with us فحدثنا أمراري بن حصينين يومئن أمراري بن حصينين he spoke to us that day he had a conversation with us he told us something and from the things that he told us was that he set us الحياة وخير كله أمراري بن حصينين is a noble companion set us that shyness is all good all of shyness is good there is no bad shyness or he said الحياة وكله خير that all of shyness is good بوشير بن بن كعبن he responded to أمراري بن حصينين and he said إنا لنجد في بعض الكتب أو الحكمة we find in some books we find أن منه سكينا that some shyness has tranquility ووقار ومنه ضعفن and some shyness has weakness there is a good shyness and there is a bad shyness this is what بوشير بن حكم بوشير بن كعبن he said أمراري بن حصينين he got angry فغضب أمراري أمر رتاعينا his eyes became red وقاله he said ألا أراني أحدثك عال رسول الله am I not telling you about the messengers واتعالض فيه and then here you are contradicting what the messengers said because what did the prophet say the prophet said all of shyness is good and بوشير بن كعبن some shyness comes with tranquility and good and shyness comes with weakness أمراري بن حصينين are you contradicting what I told you about the messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم فعاد أمراري بالحديث أمراري بن حصينين فعاد بوشير بن فغضب أمراري أمراري بن كعبن when he repeated again بوشير and he said فما زلنا نقول فيه إنه مننا يا أبن جيد the people that was sitting there they tried to calm down they tried to he's from us there's no problem يعني he's from us what I want to take from this حديث this حديث tells us informs us that the person who's shy the person who possesses this quality of shyness this person is upon all of good don't ever think to yourself my beloved brother my beloved sister don't ever think to yourself that being shy is a weakness remember that shyness is always good we're in a society today we're in a time when a person who has shyness is said to look at this child look at this kid we ridicule the shy person instead of praising him for this great trait that he has and telling him it's a good thing that they have shyness in them any individual who's adorned with this quality then it shows that this person's intellect this person's عقل is complete حقيقة and that this person possesses good manners and that this person through their shyness إن شاء الله they're going to achieve a lot of good as the poet said the person will live as long as he possesses the quality of shyness the person is going to live with good ويبقى العود وما بقى اللحاق and also the she will remain as long as it has a branch that he stands on the root is still there يعيشوا المرء مستحيا بخير as long as you possess the quality of shyness you will live a good life إن شاء الله أبو هريرا رضي الله تعالى عنه he mentioned that the messenger said that the iman is 60 odd branches وأدناها in the lowest is it is to remove harm from the street and the path والحياة وشعبة من شعب الإيمان and shyness is a branch from the branches of the iman and both narrated that in this hadith it explains to us it shows us that the iman ليست خصلا واحدة إيمان is not just one branch or it's not just one characteristics إيمان is شعب كثيرا it has many branches it has many good deeds inside it many qualities the highest one is كريمة الإخلاص and توحيد is the highest level the highest branch وأدناها in the lowest of it it is to take off harm from the street يعني it is to remove everything that will cause a harm to a person whether it be a stone whether it be a thorn whether it be a glass or other than that it is to remove from the road and shyness was mentioned in this hadith that shyness is what من شعب الإيمان it's a branch from the branches of iman and every single time a person increases in shyness his iman increases and shyness brothers and sisters is و هو خير كله it is all good the shyness و لا يأتي الله بخير و لا يأتيك بخير عبدالله ابن عمرين رضي الله تعالى عنهما ما يالله بيشعب with him and his father he said that the prophet SAW الحياء والإيمان و قورينا جميعا that شايناس and إيمان have been both mentioned together فإذا رفع أحدهما if one of them is removed رفع الآخر and the other one will be removed يعني إيمان and shyness are two that are one if one of them is removed the other one is removed إيمان محاكب narrated this in his مستدرك يعني أنهما متلازمان both of them necessitate one another لا ينفق أحدهما عن الآخر one cannot be removed from the other one they are strongly connected إيمان and shyness so when you see your إيمان when you see your shyness going low and you lack the quality of shyness there is a direct effect on your إيمان there is a problem with your إيمان أنا سبن مانك رضي الله تعالى عنه he said that the prophet SAW he said إن لكل دين خلقا و خلق الإسلام الحياء رواه نماجح that every single religion has a quality a characteristics a manner and the manners of الإسلام is shyness يعني every religion has a something that was given great importance in it something that was emphasized on in that religion and that people were uniquely given to and this religion what it is is that it is shyness shyness is that quality that is highly emphasized on in Islam أبو هرير رضي الله تعالى عنه he said that the prophet SAW الحياء من الإيمان shyness is from إيمان والإيمان and إيمان takes a person to جنة يفضي بأهله إلى الجنة shyness takes the person to إيمان and إيمان takes the person to جنة والبداء من الجفاء والجفاء في النار وغس بيج فعو لنوج is من الجفاء it is from خاشنس it is from a person who possesses the quality of rudeness a person who is distasteful والبداء من الجفاء والجفاء في النار and this quality of خاشنس is in the how fire رواه الترميليو and he narrated this بقاري أصوه شغناصر رحمه الله authenticated in his سلسلة حديث الصحيحة this hadith teaches us that shyness is from إيمان and إيمان is a means for you to enter jannah my beloved brothers and sisters إيمان is a means for what والفوز بنعيم الجنة it is a means to attain the blessings of jannah the opposite of shyness in this hadith as mentioned here is والبداء من الجفاء a person who has got no shyness a person who is foul spoken vulgar in their words and when they speak is definitely going to lead to the how fire عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله تعالى عنهما he said that the messenger said to رضي الله تعالى عنه the prophet said to this man he said this man who he had a wound on his head the messenger ﷺ he said to him إن فيك خصلتيني in you are two qualities يحبهم الله الله those two qualities that are in you الحلمة والحياة shyness and forbearance you have two qualities that are in you you have two qualities that are in you that Allah سبحانه وتعالىahn لاافس the first one is الحلم حلم means forbearance you can endure what others happening about you you are a person when people are not nice to you لك الناس يجعلك تنظيمك. يمكنك أن ترى تفوذ. و الأخر هو الحياة والشي. The Hadith means اي جبالك الله على ذلك الله سبحانه وتعالى Made this an innate quality for you. Because shyness ما هو جيبلي و ما هو مكتسب. Shyness is two types. إن شاء الله تعالى سوف نرى There is a type which is جيبلي is natural. مكتسب you have to work for it. You have to look for it. You have to study it. You have to discipline yourself on that type. And the people brothers and sisters متفاوتون. When the people are not all of the same level when it comes to shyness. So it requires مجاهدة fighting, striving, exerting efforts. حافظ ابن رجاب الحملي رحمه الله he said وعلم أن الحياة نوعان. ابن رجاب الحملي. He said no. That the shyness is two types. There are two types of shyness. The first one is ما كان خلقا و جيبلا غير مكتسب. That which is innate. ما كان خلقا. Allah naturally gave this person in it. و جيبلا It is naturally built in his person. غير مكتسب. The person doesn't have to exert effort in it. و هو من أجل نحو الله العبد And it is the greatest quality Allah bestows upon a slave. It is the best thing Allah gives a slave. و لذلك المسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم حديث ابن رجاب سيس. شايناس does not bring except that which is good. فإنه يكوف عن ارتكاب القبائح و دنيئ الأخلاق شايناس what does it do? It removes from the person bad traits. It removes from this person for falling into that which is wrong و حراب. It stops the person from what? بعد أخلاق و أدب و يحث على استعمال مكاني من أخلاق. And it pushes the person towards good manners and good ethics. The second one he said is ما كان مكتسبا. That which you have to work towards. You have to strive, you have to exert effort. من معرفة الله by knowing Allah. و معرفة عظمتي knowing Allah how great He is and how noble He is. و قربه and getting closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. و الطلاعه عليهم it is knowing that Allah is looking at you سبحانه وتعالى. That he knows سبحانه وتعالى خائنة الأعيون و ما تقف السدور. He knows the one who is deceiving. He knows what's in the chest. This one is the one you work on. You're always knowing that Allah can see you سبحانه وتعالى. Allah is aware of what you're doing. Studying Allah سبحانه وتعالى And learning about it. Learning Allah's names and attributes. This one it brings about shyness. And Ibn Rajab says بالهو من أعلى درجات الحسان. And this one is from the greatest levels of excellence. I mean the greatest levels of Al-Hayat. That's powerful. So the two types of shyness. Shyness which is natural. Allah gives it to the person. It's just natural for them. They don't need to look for it. They don't need to do that one. Okay. عبد الله يبن عمر رضي الله تعالى عنهما. He said مر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على رجل من الأنصار. وهو يعيض أخاه في الحياة. The messenger he walked by a man from the people of Ansar. وهو يعيض أخاه. He was advising his brother. He was advising his brother. He was talking to his brother. He was giving him a lecture regarding shyness. And he was telling him you're too shy. Stop being too shy. Get rid of that. You're too shy. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم And the messenger said to the one that was advising He said to him. Leave him alone. Shyness is from him. Leave him alone. So The messenger He prohibited a brother advising his brother regarding shyness. He said to him. Do not advise him regarding shyness. And he do not tell him to leave of the quality of shyness. Why? Because shyness is what stops a person from doing that which is wrong. It is shyness that which على استعمالي مكاري من الأخلاق. Shyness is what makes you do good manners and good etiquettes. فوخيرون كله Shyness is all good. So some people they say to somebody. Stop being shy. Shyness is always good. حياء brothers and sisters is من أفضل الخصال. It's the greatest characteristics, greatest trait a person has. It is that Allah gives to سبحانه وتعالى. أناس ربي الله تعالى عنه. He mentioned that the messenger said ما كان الفحش في شيء قطن إلا شاره. There is never vulgar and indecency and immorality is never present in something except that it makes it very ugly. وَلا كان الحياء في شيء قطن إلا زانه. And there is no matter where the person possesses shyness in this issue. إلا زانه except that it beautifies him. There isn't a person who comes with shyness in a matter except that it beautifies them. There's not a situation where it was done with shyness except that you see the beauty in it. There is not a person who when they do things they do with shyness. You can always say the beauty in it. So in this حديث is مفتاح كل شر. This حديث shows that every bad man is the key to all evil. والخلق الحسن good man is مفتاح كل خير. Every good comes from it. And shyness is the greatest quality of good man is. And if good man is has different things are good man is right. The highest level is shyness. سلمان الفارسي رضي الله تعالى عن who he said إذا أراد الله بعبد الهلاكة. If Allah wants to destroy a person نزع منه الحياة. Allah removes shyness from you. فإذا نزع منه الحياة. And if Allah removes shyness from you لم تلقه إلا مقيتا وممقتا. You will never meet this person who Allah removes from them shyness except that you see this person immoral, distasteful and indespicable. That's the reality of a person who that quality has been taken from them. Any individual Allah wants to destroy them. Guess what he does to them. سلمان الفارسي يقول this. Allah removes from that person shyness. No longer shy. And then when shyness is removed from this person. You can't spend time with them. You're shy. So when you see this quality it scares you. It makes you distasteful towards حديث. You cannot spend a minute with them. Shyness is that thing brothers and sisters that stops us from doing wrong. If we don't have shyness we do everything. That's why the message is said in the حديث أبن مصعود البدري. ربي الله تعالى عنه. The prophet said this. إلا مما أدرك الناس ومن كلام النقوة الأولى إذا لم تستحيف أسنع ما. That one of the things that was inherited that was taken from the early prophets the wise statement that was taken from them was what إذا لم تستحيف إذا لم تستحيف if you're not shy إذا لم تستحيف أسنع ما. If you're not shy do as you wish. The person who's shyness is removed from them. He doesn't care about his actions. And he's not diligent in what he does or say. He doesn't care. Shyness is that one thing that makes the person think. Shall I do this? Shall I act in this particular way. إذا لم تستحيف أسنع ما. If you're not shy go do whatever you want. What does it actually mean go do whatever you want. إذا لم تستحيف أسنع ما. If you're not shy do as you wish. There are two views regarding that. The first is أنه ليس بمعنى الأمر.  فصلت على ما شد.  But it's actually not a command. The first view is saying it's not a command. You're not being commanded to do something. So then what am I being told? Within that group there's two views within that group who say it's not a command. They have two views in there. The first ones they say أنه أمر بمعنى التهديد والوعيد. يعني it is if you don't have shyness then do as you wish. You don't have shyness just go do whatever you want. In other words the person's actually been warned it's not do as you wish it's like إعملوا ما شئتهم. Do as you wish إنه بما تعملون بصير. الله سبحانه وتعالى can see everything you're doing.  So it's a تهديد it's a warning in there. The second view that believe it's not a command they're saying it's خبر it's a statement which means أن من لم يستحي the one who's not shy صنع من شاء he does whatever he wishes because the thing that prevents a person from doing that which is bad is what shyness and shyness is no longer there then what happens is that the person will go and do something bad so it's a statement it's informing us that shyness is the thing that stops a person from doing bad and if they don't have shyness then they are going to go out there and they're going to do bad. That's the first view who say it's not a command there's a second view which says it's a command. The second view they say it is a command فصنع من شئ it is a command we should leave it at its apparent we should leave it the way that the wording is so they're okay what does it mean then? they say it means إذا كان الذي تريد فعله if the thing that you want to do is من ما لا يستحي من فعلي it's not something you should be generally shy about and you shouldn't be shy about الله تعالى in regards to this action of speech or you shouldn't be shy about the people because it's a righteous action or action is a good thing then go out there and do it that's what the حديث is saying they said so those are the two views regarding the حديث of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم من رجب الكلام is very قوي رحم الله تعالى he said in his كتاب جامع له علوم الحكم the first volume paid 498 my beloved brothers and sisters shyness is a name from the names of Allah سبحانه و تعالى it's actually a name from the names of Allah سبحانه و تعالى and there is two hadiths that have come that prove that it's a name from the names of Allah سبحانه و تعالى the first hadith is the Hadith of Ya'la من أمية رضي الله تعالى عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى رجل and the messenger saw a man يغتسل بالبرازي بلا إزالي a man who was showering he was cleaning himself without covering himself فصاعدة المنبرة فصاعدة the professor when he climbed المنبرة the pulpit فحمد الله و أثنى عليه he praised Allah and then he said إن الله عز وجل حيي ستير الله is shy and conceals يحب الحياة والسطر الله loves shyness and he loves concealing فإذا اغتسل أحدكم فليستتر if one of you is cleaning himself and he is showering then conceal yourself from the people روه أبو داود و النسائي أبو داود و النسائي narrated this so this hadith it says إن الله عز وجل حيي الله is حيي so حيي is from the names of Allah سبحانه وتعالى good the second hadith that shows that this is the name of Allah حديث سلمان الفارسي رضي الله تعالى عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حيي كريم يستحي من عبده إذا رفع يديه إليه أن يرد هما أن يرد هما صفراء سلمان الفارسي الله عز وجل is حيي الله is حيي الله سبحانه وتعالى is generous يستحي الله is shy from what إذا رفع يديه أن يرد هما صفراء أن يرد هما صفراء أن الله يرد هما صفراء without giving him what he asked for أبو داويد أن يبنوما so حيي is a name from the names of Allah سبحانه وتعالى من عقيدة أهل السنة والجماعة is what الله's names are what أعلامه باعتبار دلالاته على ذات وأصافه باعتبار دلالاته على المعاني that Allah's names are not just mere names every name of Allah is a meaning in it so we say that the name الحيي has a characteristic and attributes and that attribute is what صفة الحياة that Allah has tried سبحانه وتعالى a shyness تليق بجلاله وكمالي that befits his his majesty befits his majesty الله's characteristic it's in a way that befits his majesty لا يماتل أحدا من خلقه الله is never like his creation it's a creation shy and Allah is shy we don't say it's the same it's in a way that befits his majesty ليس كاميره شيء ليس كاميره شيء وهو السميع البصير الله سبحانه وتعالى there is nothing like him he can hear and he can see we also believe ما بينهما في عبوده وصطب اللي عبادته هل تعلم له السميع and there is nothing like him سبحانه وتعالى ابن القيم explained he explained this name of Allah الحي he said الله سبحانه وتعالى he described himself to be one that shy ووصف رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم and Allah described his prophet we are going to come to the prophet how his shyness was فهو الحيي الكريم الله is one who is shy and generous كما قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم as the messenger said إن الله حيي كريم يستحي من عبده إذا رفع إله يدي أن يردهما صفرا that Allah is shy that Allah is generous if a slave raises his hands up in the air that Allah does not turn you back for what you are asking Allah gives you what you are asking for وقالت this is the statement of ابن رجب this is the statement of ابن القيم I am reading ابن القيم then says وقالت إن الله لا يستحي من الحق الله is not shy from the truth وقرّها على ذلك the messenger affirmed he approved of his statement إن الله لا يستحي من الحق that Allah is not shy from the truth when the messenger said إن الله لا يستحي من الحق الله is not shy from the truth لا تأتن نساء في أعجازهن do not come to the women from their back passages do not the prophet SAW he said that Allah is not shy إن الله لا يستحي من الحق الله is not shy from the truth so this hadith has shown us that we have taken before and the statement of ابن رجب is a tribute to Allah and it is also a tribute to our prophet SAW نبي الله محمد أبواقي دن اللي في رضي الله تعالى عنه he said that رسول الله SAW the messenger SAW بينما هو جالس في المسجد the prophet was sitting in the masjid والناس معه and the people with the prophet SAW إذ أقبل نفر ثلاثة three men came forward فأقبل الثناني إلى رسول الله SAW ودهب واحد two of the men they faced the prophet SAW and one of them left two of them came to the prophet SAW and the third one he turned his back and he left that's what he did قال فوقف على رسول الله SAW فأما أحدوما فراء فرجة في الحلقة فجلس فيها وأما الأخر فجلس خلفهم وأما الثالث فأدبر دهب all of them they stood upon the prophet SAW one of them he found a space and he sat there and he listened okay the second one what did he do أما الآخر فجلس خلفهم the second one he went and he sat the back as for the third one he turned his back and he left when the messenger SAW finished he said to the people ألا أخبركم عن النفر سألاته shall I not tell you about these three men that came the reality and the situation the Sa'ab as they said of course the messenger SAW أما أحدوهم as for one of them which is the first one فأوا إلى الله فأواه الله he came to Allah to barakutta and Allah to barakutta came to him because he shouted him Allah to barakutta protected him he came to the shout of Allah to barakutta and Allah gave him shout وأما الآخر as for the second one he sat at the back فاستحية he was shy to push himself through he was shy فاستحية الله منه الله became shy from him وأما الآخر as for the third one فعرضه he turned away فعرض الله عنه الله turned away from him what I want to take from the hadith is Allah was shy of the creation if the creation is shy of Allah Allah is shy of you سبحانه وتعالى نعم فمن استحية من الله when he is shy from Allah فالباركة العالى استحية الله منه الله الشاي فمنه سبحانه وتعالى the reason is because Allah is he is shy يحب الحياة He loves shyness والواجب على العبدي what is upon every single one of us my beloved brothers and sisters we are shy of Allah we possess this quality of shyness now we come with it روا الإمام أحمد رحمه الله في الزوت الإمام أحمد narrated in his kitab الزوت بيهقي also narrated in his kitab أنا رجل قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أوصيني أي من came to the prophet أن يسأل يا رسول الله I want you to advise me الإمام صلى الله عليه وسلم ستهم أوصيك أن تستحي من الله كما تستحي رجل صالح من قومك الإمام أحمد بيهقي narrated this hadith then a man came to the prophet أن يسأل يا رسول الله أوصيني أوصيك I advise you the way I advise you أن تستحي من الله أن you are shy of Allah كما تستحي the way that you are shy from what رجل صالح من قومك the way that you are shy from a righteous man in your community there are things you will never dare to do in front of your mother your father there are things you will never dare to do in front of a practicing imam your local imam you want to do this in front of him in front of the imam and your mother and your father then why would you do this in front of Allah سبحانه وتعالى why would you do this in front of Allah سبحانه وتعالى now I am going to mention three things that move the heart towards shyness والذي you حرك في القلب الحياة من الله أمور التلاثة there are three things that move the heart that ignite the heart towards coming with this quality of shyness the first one is رؤية نعمة الله تبارك وتعالى عليك ومن نته وفضله looking at and thinking over the blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى on you the blessings of Allah bestowed upon you الله says in the Quran in Surah Ibrahim ترفو الله أتاكم من كل ما سألتموه وإن تعدوا نعمة الله لا تحصوها إن الإنسان لا ظلوم كفار ومعرفة المساعدة ومعرفة كل ما سألتموه الله يقول فيه نعمة الله لا تحصوها لا تطلقوا بها لا تطلقوا بها لا تطلقوا بها إن الإنسان لا ظلوم كفار وإن المساعدة هو أمور التلاثة وإن أخبره لله الله سبحانه وتعالى أكثر يجب أن تقوموا يجب أن تنقلوا يتطلقوا إلى شايمس هو رؤية تقصيرك في حقه تظهر كيف تصدر عندما يصدر للمعرفة الله سبحانه وتعالى وقيامك بما يجب له عليه سبحانه وتعالى من تتالي الأمور وتقلم حضور وقيامك ونظر كيف تصدر عندما يجب ما يجب ونظر كيف تصدر look at where are you regarding those things look how deficient we are regarding those things الله سبحانه وتعالى وقلوبهم وجلة وأنهم إلى ربهم راجعون they are the ones who come with righteous actions they do as they were told to do they stay away from that which they were told to stay away from وقلوبهم وجلة with that said but their hearts were still trembling they are thinking that I haven't done enough I haven't washed my lord I haven't done what he wanted from me I haven't stayed away from that which he told me to stay away from والذين يؤتون ما أتوا وقلوبهم وجلة their hearts are trembling أنهم إلى ربهم راجعون they know that they are going to return back to their lord الله سبحانه وتعالى that is going to account them سبحانه وتعالى the third thing that pushes the heart that moves the heart is always looking over you وفي أي وقت الله is looking at you at every situation في كل حال every situation of your life الله is looking at you وفي أي وقت and any time من الأوقات all of the times of your life الله is looking over you وإن ما تكون wherever you are He is looking over you فولا تقفى عليه عليه مينتا قافية there is nothing hidden from him He says ألم يعلم بأن الله يرى Do you not know that Allah can see you سبحانه وتعالى إن الله كان عليكم رقيبة الله سبحانه وتعالى is one that is observing you ولا قد خلقنا الإنسان ونعلموا ما توسوسوا به نفسه ونحن أقربوا إليه من حبل الوريد الله سبحانه وتعالى He says that we are aware of what you are saying to yourself let alone what you do outside we know what you whisper in your heart الله says in another ayah يستخفون من الناس ولا يستخفون من الله وهو معهم إدعوا بيتون ما لا يرضى من القول they are shy of the people and they are shy of what the people are going to say and what the people are going to do but they are not shy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and Allah سبحانه وتعالى He says I am with you I am aware, I know I can see everything that you are doing the disbelief, the innovation the sins that you are doing I am aware of all of that but you don't act like الله سبحانه وتعالى can see you so these three things I mentioned are they move the heart towards what? towards shyness so we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى that He gives us this great quality of shyness إنه ولي ودارك والقادر عليه الله سبحانه وتعالى has the ability to do so أرمام أحمد رحمه الله narrated في مسنده والترمذي في جامعه أن الإمام والترمذي also narrated in his جامع أن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله تعالى عنه He said أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال that the Prophet said إستحيوا من الله حق الحياة be shy of Allah the way He deserves قلنا يا رسول الله the Sahabas they said إنه لن استحيوا لله الحمد we are shy of Allah and praises to Him سبحانه وتعالى I am talking about ولكن الاستحياء rather the shyness is من الله تبارك وتعالى أن تحفظ الرأس وما وعى is that you protect the head and everything around it your ears, your eyes, your nose, your mouth you protect it all والبطن وما حوا and you protect your stomach and everything in it you don't eat that which is حرام وأن تذكور الموت والبلا and that you remember death that you are going to return back to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and you remember the grave that you are going to go to that is going to swallow you and your body is going to perish ومن أراد الآخرة and anyone who wants to hear after تركزينة حيات الدنيا you leave off the glamours and the glitters of this dunya فمن فعل ذلك and anyone who does that فقد استحيى من الله حق الحياة then that person has truly become shy of Allah the way that they should be shy of Allah تبارك وتعالى the messenger mentioned أمور أربعة فيها جماع الخير وتحقيق الحياة four things the messenger mentioned in those four things are the conclusion the summary of all good and in these four are the things that can bring about shyness to a person the first and the second thing are the first and the second the first one is حفظ الرأسي protecting your head and the second one is حفظ البطن protecting your tongue both of those affect shyness they truly affected فمن كان قلبه عامراً بالحياة يمن الله anyone whose heart is filled up with shyness الله تبارك وتعالى this shyness goes towards what it goes towards حفظ الرأس it goes to protecting your face and your eyes you can't speak, shy people can't talk see how their mouth is protected shy people can't even look at you they're very shy, shy people don't listen they're very nervous and the shyness that they have they don't listen to wrong things so shyness affects the is it also affects the stomach people who shy can't eat in front of other people you see that they don't eat that which is حرام they stay away from that which is حرام the quality of shyness protects your is your eyes, your nose your mouth, your stomach حفظ الرأس حفظ البصر which is the eyes they don't look at which is حرام they don't listen to that which is حرام their face is not directed towards that which is حرام and they don't prostrate to anyone other than Allah they only prostrate to Allah the ones that are shy, they do not eat and put into their stomachs that wealth that is stolen the money taken from ريبا they don't, they do not use money that is taken from deception and etc and then the hadith mention two other things at the end and what are the two things وَاَنْ تَذْكُرَ الْمُوتَ وَالْبِلَى وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْأَخِرَةَ تَرَكَزِينَ تَلْحَيَةِ الدُّنْياءَ these two things are also the quality of shyness which is remembering death consistently and continuously the one who has shyness the death is always on his mind he knows he is going to depart from this world but he is not going to stay for too long this is not his place of eternity this is not a place he was created for he was not created for this dunya but rather he was created for the hereafter he knows that this is just a stepping stone a place he just needs to accumulate righteous actions he knows all of that and he knows that he shouldn't beautify himself excessively in this dunya that the beauty is for the day of judgment the beauty is to beautify your grave with righteous deeds not your house in this world that you are going to leave that is the quality of shyness those four أبي سعيد الخضرية ربي الله تعالى عنه he said لما أشد حياء من العذراء في خدرها وكان إذا كريها شيء أعرفناه في وشيه متفق عليه المسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم was excessively shy he was even more shy than a virgin woman who was in her in a chamber he صلى الله عليه وسلم if shyness overcame him and he was shy of something someone said and he couldn't he was too shy of it and he disliked it عرفناه في وشيه we can recognize it from his face our messenger عليه الصلاة وسلم he was more shy than what a virgin a woman who's a virgin who's never been married who's never been spoken to a man before has no relation with a man when she first talks to him she's very nervous very agitated she's shy, she sweats she breathes heavily the word won't even come out of her mouth this is نبي الله محمد عليه الصلاة وسلم if you look at that quality do we find it in our young sisters today do we find this quality in our brothers today is it present in them look at what the prophet was compared to he was compared to a virgin a woman the shyness would be a high quality for women and without it that it also should be for the men look at this story انا سبنو ماريكة رضي الله تعالى عنه he said about the night of إستراو المعراج when the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم وصرية برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم and the messenger was taking high up قال رسول الله the messenger said فرض الله على أمة خمسين صلاة the messenger said about that night my umma it was prescribed on them 50 prayers قال the prophet said فرجعتوا بذلك حتى أمر بموسى the prophet took those 50 prayers and he crossed and he came by and موسى عليه السلام فقال موسى موسى ستهم ماذا فرض ربك على أمتك what is it that your lord has prescribed on to your people when it comes to the prayer the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said فرض عليهم خمسين صلاة الله تعالى he made obligatory on them what خمسين صلاة 50 prayers قال لي موسى موسى ستهم فرجعتوا ربك and go back to your lord فإن أمتك لا تطيقوا ذلك your umma can't do this the prophet then he said فرجعتوا ربي I went to my lord وضع عشة طلحة he removed half of that from me so 25 left فرجعتوا إلى موسى I came back to mousa and then mousa said to me what are the prayers that your lord has made obligatory on to you I said to him my lord has made obligatory on me this much prayers he said فإن أمتك لا تطيقوا ذلك your umma can't do this and then he said to me how much and then I told him he said go back and tell your lord to change this from you فرجعتوا ربي the prophet and I went back to my lord he then said فرجعتوا إلى موسى then the prayer got pushed down to five I came next to mousa I came to mousa again and when mousa was يعني نبي الله محمد was given five prayers but the reward is 50 and this will not be changed it was said to the prophet then I went to mousa he said the prophet فرجعتوا إلى mousa I went back to mousa he said to me go back to your lord and speak to him about it فقل to I said I am shy of my lord I can't go to him after this this is the pie I want from the hadith I am a messenger of the prophet he said I can't go back to my lord I am too shy from him he said يحدث أن رسول الله ينقلوا معهم الحجارة ولي الكعبتي وعليه إزاره this is before Islam it was the days of Mecca the prophet was removing some rocks from the Kaaba in order to build the Kaaba with Quraish with him was his uncle Abbas and the messenger was carrying the rock and Abbas said to him I have an idea for you Abbas said to the prophet why don't you just take your cloth connect it on your neck which would then necessitate the prophet's عورة to be seen he is lower government he said connect it on your neck then the prophet's private part would be seen he said to him لو حللت إزارك if you just tie on your shoulders فجعلته على منكبك دون الحجارة because then it could save you from the stone going on to your body the messenger said okay فحلله على منكبك and he made the prophet tied it to his shoulders فسقط مغشية as soon as he was doing that he fell down on the ground and fainted because Allah doesn't want his slave محمد ابن عبدالله صلى الله عليه وسلم عورة to show so the prophet fainted straight away فما رؤية بعد دالك اليوم the messenger from that day onwards no one ever saw him ولي ذلك he was very shy ولي ذلك he was very shy and he said بونية على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بزينا ببن تجحشن بخبزين ولحمين he married this was the banquist of زينا ببن تجحشن and the messenger saw meat and bread was served to the people and the American said the food was given to me and I was told to call the people invite the people to eat and the American said فيجي أقوموا فيأكلون ويخرجون a group of people will come they will eat and they will leave another group of people will come another group of people will come and they will eat and they will leave فدعوتوا حتى ما أجدوا أحدا أدعو أنا سبنو ماليكن he said I called until I couldn't find anyone else to come and eat everyone has eaten فقلتوا يا نبي الله أنا السلاة I went to the prophet ما أجدوا أحدا أدعو I can't find anyone to call the messenger said to him ارفعوا طعامكم raise your food يعني carry your food وبقية ثلاثة رحت يتحدثون في البيت three men they stayed in a prophet house they were chatting and they were talking the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم then left فانطلق إلى حدرة عائشة he went to the house of عائشة فقاله ست عائشة السلام عليكم أهل البيت ورحمة الله he said سلام بيهبون the family here he said how are you she said ورحمة الله وبركاته كيف وجدت أهلك how have you found your wife your new wife she said to him the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said بارك الله لك because Allah سبحانه وتعالى is blessing be upon you فتقرأ حجرة نسائه then the messenger went to the other wives houses asking them saying to them that which he said to عائشة رضي الله تعالى on how are you and they will all say to him كما قالت عائشة that which عائشة said which is how is your new family the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came back to the house and the three men were still there talking and chatting the mess this is what I want from the hadith they are in his house just sitting there talking he felt very uncomfortable for them to be that long but look what he did وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم شديد الحياة he was a very shy person عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم فخرج من طالق when he saw them still sitting there he left he went to عائشة's house again عائشة then said فما أدري أخبرته أم أخبرها I don't remember was it me who told him that they left was it someone else that told him that they left يعني أن القومة خرجو فرجع the prophet went back and he went into his house عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم and that's when the ayah of hijab came down رغا الله تباركوا تعالى send the ayah down قولوا تعالى إن الله لا يستحيين من الحق الله is not shy from the truth يعني إذا دخلتم if you enter the house of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and you're in his house then don't just sit around and be there for that but ayah came down to say that the prophet was so shy to say it shyness the quality that one should have عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she said سألت سألت مراءة a woman asked النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم she asked the prophet كيف تقتصل من حيظاتها how should a woman clean herself from her menstruation فذكرت أنه علمها كيف تقتصل then the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم عائشة said that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم I taught her how to do it كيف تقتصل ثم تأخذ فرصة من مسك فتطحر بها then the woman should take a cotton where there's a mist on it and she should clean herself with it the woman then said كيف أتطحر بها how do I clean myself with that cotton then the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said تطحر بها clean it with yourself سبحان الله he said واستطع أن يكون سيل he hid himself عليه السلام سوفياني بنععينا وقالت عائشة to عائشة then she said تدبتها I grabbed the woman إليها towards my direction وعرفتها I realized ما أراد النبي that which my wife my husband the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was intending to say فقلت to I said to her تتبعي بها أثر الدنيا what the prophet is saying to you is that where the blood went on run that place with that cotton with the blood on it what the prophet is saying to you is that where the blood went on run that place with that cotton with the blood on it متفقون عليه بخاري and muslim both narrated that وفي رواية اللي الحريتي there is another رواية which is إثتحية في عرب عنها the prophet became so shy from the woman's question he turned his face away he couldn't look at her عليه الصلاة والسلام الله أكبر and then we have people today that speak vulgar foul language everything that comes to their mouth they say it and they don't care sometimes they joke about it sometimes they laugh about it that's محمد ابن عبدالله صلى الله عليه وسلم he's teaching the religion but he's so shy when she went that far to explain it more that عائشة had to grab the woman's and grab her towards her and tell her this was not unique to the prophet by the way صلى الله عليه وسلم this is something that the Sahabas also had أناس من أماريكة رضي الله عنه narrated he said قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم that the messenger said أرحمه أمتي بأمتي أبو بكر the most merciful person to my umma is أبو بكر وأشدهم في أمري الله عمر the one that's the most staunch on the commandments of Allah is عمر عمر is very strong in that regard وأصدقهم حياء and the most shyest of them all is عثمان وأقراءهم لكتاب الله أبا يبن كعب and the one who knew the Quran the most is أبا يبن كعب وأفراضوا هم زي دبنه ثابتن and the one that knew the fara'ib inheritance the most is زي دبنه ثابتن وأعلموا بالحلال والحراب and the one that knows the halal and the haram the most then the messenger said ألا وإن لكل أمة الأمين every woman أمة has a trustworthy reliable person وإن أمين هادي الأمة the one that's the أمين of this أمة is none other than أبو عبيده ابن وجر الله رضي الله تعالى so look at عثمان رضي الله عنه عثمان's shyness reached the extent that the angels were shy of him because of the shyness that he had عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she mentioned she said كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مضج عنه the prophet was lying down في بيتي in my house كشفن عن فخدي the prophet's thighs were showing أو ساقه or his shins فاستأدن أبو بكر أبو بكر knocked on the door and he asked for permission if he can come in the messenger stayed the way he was lying down and his thighs or his shin was showing didn't move صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلي then عمر رضي الله عنه ثم استأدن عمر عمر knocked on the door and the prophet came in the prophet let him in and did not change his position in the way he was still lying down his thighs or his shin was showing صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلي ثم استأدن عثمان عثمان knocked on the door فاجالس رسول الله the messenger sat down وَسَوَّث يابه and the prophet he hid his shins or his thighs he hid it صلى الله عليه وسلم عائشة was looking she was pondering she could see her father come in the prophet didn't change she could see عمر come in the prophet didn't change so عائشة رضي الله عنه she said I asked the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم she said دخل أبو بكر أبو بكر entered onto you لم تحتشى you did not move ولم تبالي you didn't give any consideration to his entrance you didn't change the way your situation was ثم دخل عمر عمر entered you didn't change ولم تبالي you didn't give any change or nothing significant happened to you you stayed the way that you were ثم دخل عثمان وعثمان entered فجلست وسوي تتيابك you sat down you sat up before you let him in you covered yourself and your thighs and your knees and then you said and you sat down and you spoke to him why then the messenger then said should I not be shy of a man that be angels are shy of ألمان مسلم ناري في this حديث عليمنا بالطالي was also the same was a shy companion he said I was a man who suffered from a continual a continual semen used to come from me وكنت أستحياء I was very shy أسأل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لمكان تبنته I couldn't ask the prophet the question what do I do in this situation every time this lubricant comes from me what should I do he said I didn't know how to go to the messenger I talked to him and say to this because of his daughter I married to but I still want to know the truth I want to know the truth I want to know the ruling in this issue for I went to مقداد من الأسود I said go to the prophet asked this question for me مقداد went and he asked the prophet the messenger said يا غثيل وذكره هو يتوضى he just has to wash his private pot and do with it متفقون علي بخاري المسلم both narrated that علي بنابير طالب he said وكنت أستحياء I was shy عايش رضي الله تعالى عنها I mentioned some examples for the brothers I'm going to now mention an example for the sisters our mother عايش رضي الله تعالى عنها

عتبة ابن الربيعة came تبايع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم she came to give Pledge of Allegiance to the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم فأخذ عليها the Prophet gave her Pledge of Allegiance based on the ayah اللي يشرقنا بالله شيء ولا يسرقنا ولا يزنينه الآية قالت عايش رضي فوضعت يده على رسيها حيان she placed her hand on her head out of shyness فعجب رسول الله the Messenger was amazed by what he saw ما رأى منها which he saw from her فقالت عايش عايش رضي عايش رضي قرر أياته هل المرأة say a ayah firm with the Prophet just so I said to you فوالله ما بايعنا إلا على هذا عايش رضي there was no other way that the Bia'a was ever done except for the women the women only by the mouth فنعم إذا فبايعها بالآية the Prophet gave her بايع بايع based on that صلى الله عليه وسلم الحياة ومطلوب brothers and sisters shyness is required from every one of us we need to come with it but shyness should not be the thing that stops us from seeking knowledge and attain an Islamic understanding of our religion we need to learn our Deen we need to understand our Deen shyness is not running away from learning the Deen some people think that's what it is عايش رضي الله تعالى عنها she said نعم النساء نساء الأنصاري نعم النساء

Bigger than most people tend to comprehend. There is an almost Tolkien-like level of detail in regards to this world's lore, and over the course of the next 20 minutes or so, I'm going to give you a rundown of more than 5,000 years of One Piece history. So wish me luck because I think I'm going to need it. Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece. And today we have a very ambitious project to embark on because our aim is going to detail the One Piece timeline, which is significantly more difficult than you may think. At this point, we've had over 1,000 chapters of material that has been published for 24 years. And we're then said material, there is roughly 5,000 years of in-world history, which is quite a bit, but we're going to do it right here and right now. And before we begin, yes, other people have made videos, sort of like this one in the past. However, those videos primarily detail Luffy's journey in the series and is basically a chronological retelling of One Piece, which I'm sure you already know. I'm not quite interested in that. I'm not here to take you step-by-step through Luffy's journey. Instead, what I'm going to do is take you step-by-step through the 5,000 years prior to Luffy's journey. Everything we've actually experienced with Luffy is a grain of sand in a vast desert compared to this world's much larger history. And since the amount of research that went into this video was kind of mind-bogglingly insane, please do subscribe to the Grand Line Review, which will help pay for my RSI treatment after spending a gargantuan amount of time at the keyboard. But it will also grant you regular One Piece content uploaded straight into your YouTube feed, so it's definitely in your best interest to do so. But to begin this journey, as with all ancient history, we start with something of a question mark. The earliest known period in the One Piece world is referred to as the Age of Heaven. Unfortunately, we have no idea exactly when this was. At earliest, it could have ended 1,500 years ago, but it could also be five, 10, 20, 50,000 years ago whenever, we don't know. But it was brought up by Nika Robin on Alabaster when she was reading their Ponyglyph. And it should be noted that Robin is definitely lying about a lot of the historical event she brings up in regards to the Age of Heaven, and very much could be lying about the entire age itself, given that it was all an effort to stop crocodile obtaining pluton. But still, I'd like to think that as a proud scholar, Robin used knowledge she possessed to form a more viable story, and that the Age of Heaven is commonly known and taught in the One Piece world. However, the official calendar system that we go by is known as the Age of Cayenne Recky, which literally means the Age of the Sea Circle, and is also known as the Age of Cayenne in the Vismanga translation. And we know this pretty much exclusively thanks to the logs of one Noland who very handily provided us with detailed information regarding time and dates. And from this tiny piece of historical fact, we can pretty much build an entire timeline of this series. And so we shall, starting with our earliest known event, which cut around 3,500 years prior to the Age of Cayenne Recky, which is the planting of the Tree of Knowledge on the Island of O'Hara, a very familiar structure that we're going to serve this world for about 5,000 years before, well, look, we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves there. Let's not spoil the timeline. From here, though, we skip forward about 1,000 years, at which point the Palace of Alabana was built. You know, the other one that Vivi wanted to blow up during the Alabaster arc. Very interestingly though, apparently this palace structure actually predates the nation of Alabaster itself, which hints at the idea that there may have been an even more ancient civilization that inhabited this country. However, from here, we are kept in a couple of millennia's worth of mystery before arriving at the commencement of the Age of Cayenne Recky, which occurred roughly 1,500 years prior to the modern day and officially starts our calendar at year zero. Our next recorded event then strikes in the year 402. This is the earliest known mention of the Golden City of Chandora, with Niko Robin claiming that the city thrived during this time. So this also means the sky citizens came down from the moon at some stage prior to this year and founded their three civilizations, Gaipir, Burka, and Chandora, a latter of which was the only one to be founded on the Blue Sea. Then we skip to approximately the year 500, which is our earliest reference to the Phantom Island Zoo, also known as the Grand Elephant Zunesha. This elephant allegedly committed a grave crime and as punishment it was sentenced to walk the world indefinitely with no other agency unless ordered to otherwise, such as when Momonosuke ordered Zunesha to attack Jack and the year 500 was when the Mink tribe cut off all contact with the outside world. Also around the year 500 is when a very long-term quarrel began between the long arm and long leg tribes, a feud that actually remains to this very day, although we do have examples of cooperation now at the very least with Blue Ghillie and Edaya. But then things take a turn for the mysterious as the year 600 hails the beginning of what would become known as the Void Century. All records of world history of this time period have been erased with the exception of the information inscribed on the Poneglyphs. With that said, we do still know quite a bit, such as during this century, there was a single great kingdom that acted as a global superpower. This kingdom was responsible for building and wielding each of our three ancient weapons, pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus. I mean granted, they obviously didn't build Poseidon because Poseidon's a living mermaid, but you get the idea. But in response to this power, 20 smaller kingdoms formed an alliance and then went to war against the great kingdom. These 20 kingdoms included the ancestors of both the Don Quixote and Nefertari families, the former of which was the current ruling dynasty of Dressrosa and the other of Alabasta. However, the great kingdom did also have allies during this time, water seven being a very notable one. And in fact, pluton was built on that very island. Hence why the blueprints were passed down to the modern era. Meanwhile, the Golden City of Shandora was also an ally although their nation was brought to the brink of destruction by the war. And of course, the Kozuki clan of Wano was also pledged to the great kingdom and they would be the ones responsible for constructing the monoglyphs. During the void century, we also have mention of a figure named Joyboy who broke a promise with our mermaid princess slash ancient weapon Poseidon and left a massive structure known as the Noah in the care of the Fishman monarchy. And just a quick spoiler warning here regarding Joyboy, if you are not caught up with Act 3 of Wano, please do skip to this time. But for everyone else, we do a thing. Joyboy is also known to have set foot on the island which would become known as Laugh Tale. And he left a very vaguely defined treasure there which forms the catalyst of most of the events of modern one piece. All right, spoilers over. Meanwhile, in the latter half of the void century around the year 674, an individual named Amatsuki Toki was born. She consumed a devil fruit known as the Tokitokinomi and proceeded to travel forward in time. So I guess we'll be catching up with her a bit later. But by the end of the void century, the great kingdom had lost the war with both it and the ancient weapons seemingly disappearing entirely from existence. The only record of any of them currently resides on the Kozuki constructed monoglyphs which tell the true history of this time as well as the location of the ancient weapons and the hidden island Laugh Tale. But with the year 700, recorded history begins again, commencing with the 20 kingdoms remaining united and evolving their cooperation to become the world government. The royal families of these 20 kingdoms then migrated to the Holy Land of Marijuara top the red line and became the very first world nobles. The only exception to this was the Nefertari family who remained in Alabasta. Meanwhile, on Dressrosa, this would be when the Riku dynasty took over as rulers due to the disappearance of the Donkyohti monarchy. And this would be a painfully productive century as towards the year 800, the world nobles ordered the construction of Tequila Wolf, an unfathomably large bridge so huge that it is now considered its own nation. And to this very day, its construction has still yet to be completed. During our next century, an ancient giant named Oz would rise to power becoming known as the continent puller. He also created what has been described as a nation of villains and took over several unknown countries, many of which he quite literally took by chaining them up and just pulling them away. Oz and his nation of villains were seemingly unstoppable from the perspective of the relatively newly formed world government. However, Oz did manage to stop himself when he arrived at the land of ice and died a frostbite. However, his corpse would also be preserved by the cice and later used by Gekko Moria 500 years into the future during the events of Thula Bark. Also, just a side note, Oz died at the age of 159, so he was very, very young for a giant, many of whom live well into their 400s, let alone the ancient giants, which we know very little about. But getting very specific now, we land in the year 1120 where we find the first recorded entry of Norland, an explorer from North Blue who ventured throughout the ground line and even into the new world, where there is still record of his existence actually, having met the Tantata tribe on Green Bit. In the year 1122, Norland arrived on Jaya Island and was able to cure a disease that had plagued the Chandyan people. During this time, Norland was also shown the ruins of the Golden City of Chandora and vowed to return to the island someday. Unfortunately, that day, well, it would never come because in the year 1126, a violent knockup stream shot half of Jaya containing the Chandyan Golden City up into the sky, immediately commencing a 400-year-long war with the Chandyans and the Skypeans, a latter of whom had quite a taste for war due to their, at the time, very trigger-happy God. But Norland would return to Jaya a year later in the year 1127 with the King of Luvnil, a monarchy in North Blue, only to discover that the Golden City and the Chandyans were gone.  And to this day, Norland's name would go on to live in infamy in a North Blue cautionary fairy tale. Speaking of North Blue, the next century would see a catastrophic event as somewhere around the year 1200, the German Empire took over the entirety of North Blue by force. They proceeded to reign over the sea for exactly 66 days before their stranglehold was broken and they returned to being the German kingdom. But that's where the whole German double six name comes from. It's also why the German have a perception of being associated with evil and why they are the major antagonists of the Sora Warrior of the Sea comic strip. Then at some stage around the year 1324, the world government officially made an alliance with Fishman Island and their royal family was invited to attend their first reverie. Although they would not have the opportunity to go again for another 200 years. Very important social progress though, because this would be the first year that Fishman and Mermaids became legally categorized as people rather than just fish. Getting within the century of Monday, now in the year 1422, co-captains of the Giant Warrior Pirate story and Broggy would have a falling out on the Island of Little Garden and begin their never ending duel. And unfortunately, as a result of this, later this century, we would see some of the former Giant Warrior Pirates crew be caught and sentenced to death by the world government. However, they were saved due to the actions of then Sister Carmel, who used her newfound rapport with the Giants to open up an orphanage on their homeland of Elbeth. But then a very important thing of note occurred in the year 1447, because this would be the year that saw the birth of the future pirate king, Goldie Roger, that is all. Moving on in 1461, a young Charlotte Linlin would be abandoned on the Island of Elbeth and taken in by now Mother Carmel's orphanage.  This event would be witnessed by a man named Streusen, who decided to use Linlin for his own benefit and the beginnings of the Big Mom Pirates were formed. Going a bit further now in 1472, the Rumbar Pirates decided to leave their adorable whale, Laboon, with Crocus at Reverse Mountain and embark into the Grand Line, promising to return to Laboon when they had completed their journey. Something that would, sadly, never happen as in 1474, after a string of horrific disasters, the Rumbar Pirates met their demise in the Florian Triangle, with Brooke becoming the sole survivor due to his double fruit abilities. However, he would remain alone in this part of the world for the better part of the next five decades. Quite possibly the most important year now, because in 1479, a young Charlotte Carter Curry apparently filled his mouth with far too many donuts and ripped it open, resulting in his iconic Pelican eel mouth. And I definitely thought we all needed to know exactly when and how this happened. Then in 1485, this would be the year where the Roger Pirates became the first crew to reach the final island in the Grand Line known as Lodestar. This island alerted them to the presence of the Poneglyph and even the hidden islands left tail. Although they would not reach the latter for quite some time, lots of time ever, so much time. Potentially due to things like in 1486, when the God Valley incident occurred. This saw Goldie Roger and Monkey D. Garp join forces to defeat the Rocks Pirates led by Rocks Deezerbeck, a man who subsequently vanished from existence along with the entire island of God Valley. Very mysterious. But zooming to the year 1491, and in this year, Don Cioti Homing would make one of the worst decisions in all of One Piece when he chose to renounce his world noble status and took his family to live down on the Blue Sea. His wife proceeded to die within a year, setting into motion a series of events that would lead Homing's son, Don Cioti Dolfomingo, to eventually murdering his father. And at this stage, the remnants of the Rocks Pirates began recruiting their own forces, seeing the birth of some of the world's most renowned pirate crew, such as the Beast Pirates, Golden Lion Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates. And with the Whitebeard Pirates specifically in 1494, they would visit the land of Juano and accidentally recruit a man named Kozuki Oden. Shortly after, they also discovered Amatsuki Toki who had traveled to this point in time all the way from the Void Century. So Whitebeard, Oden and Toki sailed together for quite a while. Two years later in 1496, Roger discovered that he had a fatal disease and very, very little time left to discover Laugh Tale. In order to treat his increasingly weakening state, the Roger Pirates recruited Crocus, who I just guessed left to Laboon on his own at Reverse Mountain for a few years. That's right, he can hold the fort. In 1497, the Roger Pirates engaged in the Battle of Edwar against longtime rival and former Rocks member, Golden Lion Chiki. However, due to favorable weather conditions, the Roger Pirates proved victorious and Chiki's fleet was annihilated. Then the very next year in 1498, Roger would recruit Kozuki Oden after meeting up with the Whitebeard Pirates and discussing the Ponyglyphs. Oden, who could read them, decided to follow Roger from here on out much to Whitebeard's annoyance. And finally in 1499, the Roger Pirates discovered and named the island of Laugh Tale. After completing their journey, Roger became known as the pirate king throughout the world, to which point Kozuki Oden returned to Wano to discover it under the rule of Orochi and Kaido. Then in the nice round year of 1500, Roger turned himself over to the marines and was subsequently executed in Logtown. With Roger's final words, barking the Great Age of Piracy and inspiring several generations to embark on a quest to find the one piece and become the next pirate king. In response to this, Roger's former rival, Chiki, launched a one-man assault on Marineford that destroyed half of the island before he was eventually brought down by Garp and Sengoku. After mourning for his former captain, Youngshanks also began his journey as a pirate captain, even inviting Bucky to be his first crew member, although the small clown rejected his request. Meanwhile, on water seven, the shipwright Thomas put on trial for building Roger's ship, the Orojaxon, but was spared from execution and instead given 10 years to build the revolutionary sea train. In 1502, a world-shaking event would occur being the Ohara instant. After the island, scholars were caught researching the void century, a buster call was ordered on the island, destroying the now 5,000-year-old tree of knowledge and killing all but one resident of the island being a very young Nika Robin. Tragedy would also be present on the island of Butterilla as Port Gasteos was born, but at the expense of the life of his mother and former lover of Roger, Port Gaste Rouge. In slightly better news, though, this was also the year that Shanks met Yasop, so something good did happen this year at the very least. Moving to 1504, and this would be the year where Whitebeard claimed Fishman Island. Despite the fact that they had been under an alliance with the World Government because that proved to be next to meaningless, and Whitebeard decided to take the kingdom under his personal protection. Far away in the New World on Wano, Kozuki Odin and his vassals would choose this year to face off against Kaido, and that did not go well as Odin was executed and Toki sent Kinamon, Momenosuke, Kandro, and Raizo 20 years into the future. Meanwhile, in East Blue, a marine named Belmere discovered two children on a decimated battlefield, a young Nojiko and a baby Nami. Belmere then proceeded to adopt them and retire from the marines. Now in 1506, there was only one event of note, but I need to say it's this is when the Charlotte Decoplets were born, and that might not seem like such a big deal until you realize that Big Mom literally pushed 10 whole people out of her in one go. So I think that's a pretty timeline-worthy achievement. Two years later in 1508, a slightly sadder achievement, a much sadder achievement actually, not even really an achievement. Look, it was the extermination of Levant that was put into effect, eventually resulting in a young and now homeless Trafalgar Law joining the Don Quixote barons. And one year on, we turn to the year 1509 where former slave Fisher Tiger climbed the red line and enacted a rebellion on the Holy Land of Marijua, freeing many slaves such as Boa Hancock and her sisters in the process. The three sisters were eventually found by Silver's Rayleigh and Shackie, who helped them return to Amazon Lily where Boa Hancock would eventually go on to become the Empress of the Kuja tribe. Meanwhile, in mink-related news, this would be the year that the Knox Pirates were founded with a mission of hunting down pornoglyphs all throughout the world. And with everything we've learned about pornoglyphs on this timeline thus far, well, this could not possibly go badly for them, could it? However, the most important event of 1509 was when Foxy the Silver Fox had his boxing license revoked because he was caught cheating during a match. Who would have thought Foxy of all people? I am shocked and chagrined. Two years later in 1511 on Minion Island, Trafalgar law was fed the Opiope Nome by Don Quixote Rosinante in order to save his life. Unfortunately, Rosinante was killed shortly after by his brother, Dolfo Mingo, who now has a bit of a streak when it comes to killing his family members. Then in 1512, Shanks and his crew of the Red Hair Pirates would arrive at Fusha Village in East Blue deciding to make it their temporary base. And here the events of chapter one of one piece play out as they meet a young monkey D. Luffy who accidentally eats the gom gomenome and develops a dream to become the parrot king. After Shanks and his crew depart, Luffy is then taken by Garp to live with mountain bandits where he meets and forms a brotherly bond with both Ace and Sabo. Meanwhile, in the Grand Land, the Sun Pirates meet Koala and return her to her family resulting in an ambush and the death of Fusha Tiger. Afterwards, Arlong is caught by Kizaru and is imprisoned in Impel Down. Although Arlong would be freed in 1513 by Jinbei who agreed to serve the world government as a warlord of the sea, Arlong then took some former members of the Sun Pirates to go and start his own crew. At the same time, the pirate Zeph encountered Sanchi during a raid on a cruise ship and the two became shipwrecked for 85 days. Although after miraculously surviving, Zeph vowed to abandon his pirating lifestyle and build the floating restaurant Baratier. Also in East Blue and Shimotsuki Village to be precise, Zoro and Kuina had their 2001st match which also served as Kuina's 2001st win. The two children then made a promise that one of them would become the world's greatest swordsman and after Kuina's very sudden death that same year, Zoro would dedicate himself to fulfilling this goal for both of them. Now in 1514, we have what is probably the most depressing year in all of One Piece. Firstly, because this is when Arlong and his crew would commandeer Kokuyashi Village, murder Belmere, and effectively enslave Nami. Elsewhere on Water Seven, the shipwright Tom is framed by Spandam of CP5 who used Frankie's weapons to attack the island. Tom was subsequently arrested and executed for a crime that he did not commit. On the sea floor, Queen Ontahime would be assassinated by Hody Jones and in the new world, Dolph Lamingo would perform a coup on Dress Rosa forcing King Riku to kill his own subjects and installed himself as the new king, signalling a bloody return to the Don Quixote dynasty of old. So look, it was a pretty rubbish year for all involved with the exception of Foxy who began his lucrative career of participating in Davy Backfights. Two years later in 1516, a newly half-human Tony Tony Chopper would be found by Dr. Hiralok and made his assistant. Hiralok unfortunately passed away later that year and Chopper became the student of Dr. Kureha. Meanwhile in 1517, the most powerful pirate crew in existence, the Usopp pirates, performed. This also happened to be the year where the world government decided to send Rob Luchikaku, Califer and Bruno onto the island of water seven as undercover agents in order to find the blueprints for the ancient weapon, Bluton, an effort that would see them live and work there for five whole years. Speaking of Bluton, the year after this 1518, a desperate Niko Robin joins forces with Sir Crocodile and his organization Baroque Works, whose goal is to locate and revive the ancient weapon, Bluton. And in a huge landmark event, 1518 was also when Shanks became officially recognized as an emperor of the sea. Then in 1519, Port Gastiais at the age of 17, left the Goa Kingdom in order to become a pirate. And in the exact opposite move, Captain Kuro decided to retire from piracy and become a butler, a very evil butler. But still, he was actually a very good butler come to think of it up until he wasn't. Although elsewhere in the new world, this would be the year where the Knox Pirates who were now pretty much just Pedro and Zepa, while they infiltrated Tottenland in order to find Big Mom's Ponyglyphs. Sadly and unexpectedly, these two were caught after which point Zepa was killed and Pedro had 50 years of his lifespan removed before being ejected from the empire. Getting very close now, because in 1520, a very young Kobe would become pirate Captain Alveda's unwilling Chor Boy. Elsewhere, Ace found and consumed the Merimeranomy on the island of Sixus, and together with Masked Juice, they founded the Spade Pirates and would even end up on the island of Juano later that year.  But that brings us to the one and only, the most important year in this entire timeline, 1522. This is the year where Luffy left Fusha Village to begin his journey to become the Pirate King. Basically, this is where One Piece effectively begins, and well, we pretty much know the story from there. It took about 5,000 years of history to get us to this point, but that just shows the incredible world-building talents of Etchera Oda. And if you'd like to see another timeline video detailing the actual series, then please do feel free to let me know in the comments below or even join the discussion on our Discord server. But for now, this has been the Groundline Review and I'll see you next time.
