Let's roll So we are live in the holy city of Karbala that freestyle if you guys want to download that it's available on iTunes but We are live in the holy city of Karbala one second. Asalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh The news for today is a bit saddening The son of grad Ayatollah say say sadiq ashirazi has been Arrested by Iranian authority the supreme religious authority and his son were in a car And as they were driving two cars from the Iranian government pull up drag him out and as they were dragging him out His turban fell they pushed him to assault on him. Now. Shirazi followers are holding protests around Iraq and around countries as well to show Their disapproval of what happened Grand Ayatollah son now Social media campaigns are also being launched demanding that Sayed Hussain should be released ASAP we ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and everyone to join hands-in-hand You know to end this because you know, honestly, the poor guy was walking around with his dad or in the car with his dad Now, why do you got a room in the guy's day? But anyways, you know, we prayed to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala for his Hasten of his release. Now What else do we have for you today that's trending in the world? We all love the good old coke We don't mean that, you know, the coke coke coke cola right there now coca-cola This coke not the other coke not the stuff you sniff the stuff you drink anyways but yeah, so coca-cola in Japan they're trying to launch a alcohol virgin of coca-cola In the same bottle that I just showed you right now. So in this in this bottle, they're trying to release alcohol in coke with three to eight percent of Coca-cola with three to eight percent alcohol in the coke and Honestly, the senior coke executive in Japan. He says This move was a modest experiment For a specific slice of our market Last time I checked. I don't know what kind of modesty is, you know getting drunk I don't I don't remember anywhere that he'll bait say modesty and tells you being drunk But anyways from now on I guess we can't buy coke. This is the last bottle I'm buying for for tonight unless They revoked up, but anyways, let's go check out. What's what today's topic is College university school Education some of us enjoy it others not so much some of us take it all the way others They Count down to the last second and can't wait to get over with it Some just drop out basically after high school or within the first years of the university or college Now we all know that elementary teaches us the normal basics Middle school takes it a step higher than we have high school prepares us for college and then you have college Now in college you become a freshman first year, you know slack off parties here and there Or the stuff for a lot no parties except for halal parties Of course, you know Farhad the birth of the imams of the bayt alayhim the salam, but you know No, no haram parties. We don't we don't we don't want that, but Anyway, so when you go to college You plan out your career you plan out your life your new life starts in college because basically when you apply for college You're basically giving up your funds. Anyways, we'll get to touch it We'll talk about that now one thing for sure college isn't free I ever told you college was free it ain't and you know, some people say this financial aid, but not everyone qualifies for that see and Financial aid, they don't just give you money like that It's a loan. So at the end of the day, you got you got to pay it back some way or another because you're gonna have the money collective agencies coming running after you if you don't pay that but if we were to look at You know, we can say Masha Allah about this, you know, some of us actually graduate knock on wood Hamdullah graduate Get a good job that pays. Well, IH TV Masha Allah Shabbat K muqaddas Alhamdulillah, you know or they graduate and then they go, you know, washing dishes and flipping burgers and McDonald's although no offense to my to my brothers and Friends that work and make a D's, but you know, this brings us to tonight's question. Is college education worth it? What makes you so sure that you can actually be successful after graduation and honestly Sometimes, you know, I hide that as well when I was in university, you know sometimes I sat because you know what when you look at the tuition fees and The requirements and the stuff you got to pay for university you sometimes think if you just sit there Could you just take the money and spend it and like invest in the company create a company make something because the big bucks that I'm gonna mention soon They actually shocked me. I never knew I actually had to spend that much just to go through university Or you know, we have that dream, you know once we graduate We're gonna get hired in in the best firm and get the nice watch that I have on right now You know in a fresh ring fresh two rings that you have right now, you know Education college and all that gets you fresh stuff, but did they actually I don't know but we'll get to see a Lot of people claim that college graduates have a higher employment rates bigger salaries and more work benefits than high school dropout or high school graduates now They see that college graduates also have better social skill longer lives have healthier children and have the potential to becoming successful in life, however on the other hand We have those who say That you know when you graduate you're gonna have a lot of debt on your back and trust me when I say a lot of debt We're gonna come in to know what kind of debts are gonna be on our back Now a lot of people also say that you don't have to be Successful in order to become wealthy You know or you don't have to you know finish University Sorry, you don't have to finish college in order to become successful We all know that Bill Gates is a Harvard dropout and you know, he's ninety two point five billion dollars rich This guy is filthy rich ninety two point five billion dollars and this guy was a Harvard dropout He didn't finish university or college. He just dropped out and makes crazy money now But which side are you on are you on the side that says well? A college education is very good. It's gonna get you somewhere It's gonna get you good money or are you on the side that says, you know what why waste my time? Why waste my money and all those good good stuff, you know and and end up working at McDonald's KFC or Subway or Timmy's or Chuck E cheese or wherever, you know, but Do let us know call on the WhatsApp number shown below right now Plus nine six four seven seven four oh sixty seven eighteen thirty six that's plus nine six four seventy seven four oh six seven eighteen Thirty six or you can send us a message straight on that same number or you can go and comment on our live Facebook feed at Imam Hussein three TV.

Now today's question is very easy, you know, everyone had to go through Education whether elementary whether high school whether middle school or high school whether college or university and Trust me when I say Big bucks are paid towards universities big bucks But let's go into a very short break and then we'll come back very quick to talk about The fees and all the good stuff that you've got to pay for in university. Hey, we're good. We're good. We're good Yeah, that was a nice toss anyways I forgot to tell you guys if you guys like the freestyle at the beginning you can comment below to let me know Where you guys think anyways, yeah, so To encourage you guys to call there's a few facts that a lot of people don't actually know About college fees and university fees and the questions right there is college education worth it Call right now at the number shown below or comment or send us a question at the same number To let us know what you think now the United States is the most most popular destination For foreign students international students But you got to hold your horses because honestly before you go and book your tickets for the next summer in your chin chin To register your classes you got to know facts on fees and making up your mind whether you actually want to spend that much money and Trust me when I say it doesn't come cheap as a matter of fact the US is among the most expensive countries for education college education now H s Hsbc's 2017 2017 report the value of education. It says I call higher and higher the US again emerged as a top choice for parents considering University abroad for their children But also it's the most expensive. It's one of the most expensive with parents contributing to an average of Let me get a drum roll before I talk about the big bucks 25 G's You got to spend 25 G's of your money in order and that's per year That's that's not in like two years or three years or four years. That's one year now University or college is Four years depending on your major or minor. So it's it's four years 25 G's in public universities and private universities That's almost 50 grand 50 G's $50,000 So in four years, that's a hundred grand if you're paying up public universities private universities That's 200 grand add another hundred for you know, the extra two years that you maybe you slacked off or you need extra classes or that stuff $300,000 Now $300,000 you can buy a huge house you can buy a nice car You can open up a business invest in a business and you make a lot of money, but That goes back to your decision because at the end of the day you have to choose Whether Education is benefiting you or it's not is it worth it for you? Is it worth it for you to spend almost a hundred K? Each year. Oh, sorry 24 So 25 K a year over the four year span A hundred K but we do have a voice note that just came in from Mahmood. Where's Mahmood from and what did he say? My name is Mahmood from New York. I think College education is in truly worth it because you spend so many years and so much money Yet you don't get to work in the field you graduate from but on the other hand I think it depends on the faculty apply for and the graduate from like Health sciences Engineering or art sciences, but all in all you're gonna graduate with the crazy debts on your back And then the issue of marriage comes up No one is good. No one is gonna give his daughter in marriage if you have $100,000 plus That's Thank you Well, that's well said I mean, I don't I don't want to you know give credit to everyone has their own opinion But honestly, he made a valid point You know not saying that education isn't worth it a college education is one of the most important things out there But at the same time, you know, he made a valid point now the expenses and the debts after Education after college education, you know, you're looking at as as Mahmood from New York said You're looking at what a hundred K of debt and you got to pay that and honestly That just made marriage a lot harder. Trust me when I say that marriage is a lot harder when you have a hundred K in debt now a lot of people think that 25 K is We're excluding the the tuition or the accommodation or the transportation or the books or the supplies I'll break it down for you tuition Is a part of the 25 K and it depends if you're from that state You're considered a Student that pays that's not like an international student or a student out of states But you're considered and you have a lower fee tuition fee for the person that for the people coming from outer states Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense right there. That picture makes a lot of sense that gown, you know, and you know, oh all those benches, you know the Good old the good old dough. Anyways, so basically For the people that are coming from outside of the state outside the country, they're almost paying double the amount now you have tuition fees and then after that you have Your books and trust me when I say one of the things that killed me in university were books Those were expensive, you know, thank God that the books were resold when I went to second year You know, you sell them to the first years and you know, you're not getting the same amount that you paid for But I remember paying almost each year first year I paid almost nine hundred to almost eleven hundred dollars worth of books and then second year the same amount I ended up sending all my books for $100, but you know and that right there alone You see that the huge margin that people lost so you have $1,200 they say that there's an average of 1,200 $1,250 at public colleges and $1,220 for book supplies in private colleges now We do remind the viewers to call in and answer that question is college education Worth it Do you think that you need to spend that much money in order to be successful or can you spend that one that money somewhere else and Be as successful number the number you should call is Plus nine six four Seven seven four oh six seven eight thirty six Now if you do see me laughing Randomly, I don't think that I'm going mad or crazy, you know the guys in the control room Do say hilarious stuff and hilarious comments based on what I say now going down the list After books and after supplies you have housing accommodation This number is pretty huge and now actually it looks pretty nice That's actually pretty nice Was that like a concept room for universities and I'm kidding that universities that have that but in 2017 to 2018 school year research says that ten thousand eight hundred at public schools to twelve thousand two hundred and ten dollars in private schools, so public schools ten grand eight hundred Private schools twelve grand two hundred and ten dollars. We do have a call coming in right now We have a call from Muhammad Musa from Michigan Salamun alaykum welcome to the show welcome to hashtag L and T Ossam alaikum warahmatullah to pleasure to discuss with you this really controversial and also Annoying topic. Oh annoying topic. Okay, so tonight's question. You probably already know it is college education worth it What do you think? Personally, I believe it's it's worth the effort. It's worth the initiative of trying to gain and seek knowledge I mean if you can find an opportunity to do that and go ahead but currently with the You know the current way colleges and institutions and private sectors work and Process how they take in their students and what they Demand and requirements and it becomes a headache. I know I know an individual that recently graduated from Merckless school here in Doa Vem and Arbor and he's two hundred thousand dollars in debt He owes that much And so I mean he told me he was happy to graduate, but it was a bittersweet Situation, I mean now he owes to on a pay But he also has to you know He's he enjoys the idea that he finished graduating by what cost at what expense you know you're now indebted so much that Even until Imam Mehdi comes out, you'll still have to be paying. I mean, it's it's ridiculous I Like that. So I'm ready reappears. You got to pay those debts back. Hopefully when he comes you know You can pay that for us, but yeah, thank you very much for joining the live show tonight for brother Muhammad Musa Wefam Michigan USA and Honestly a very good point that he mentioned right there is tuition fees are so expensive Nowadays and honestly When you go to research you find that you know in the early 2000s late in 1900s when college students used to graduate Yeah, guys when college students used to graduate Firms and companies used to you know have fights over the students because they need Those that manpower in their companies and in their firms now there's an overflow of graduates Honestly when I say I know my friends who've worked and still work at Tim Hortons in Canada Work at KFC work at sushi places Work at McDonald's KFC and you name it Boston Pizza one of the best but you know not You are making money a hundred percent, but you spent so much money and you worked so hard those four years Yet you're in debt Is that worth it? Let me know Let us know if that's worth it All right, but if we go down the list even more We got The expenses also that say from last year They count clothing Transportation personal items entertainment, etc all of them depending on where you're going to private or public private $2,730 at private colleges 3,270 public universities, but before we continue and look at the big bucks that we spending that I spent This is I'm yeah, I'm just I'm just in awe Of my pinkie ring and you know my fresh wash But yes, we do have dr. Yeah, cut the key. Okay, this guy this professor was actually my This man was my professor at McMaster University. So yes, what does he have to say? I said to Kim I've been asked to talk about college education A wise man was once asked why he loved his teachers more than his parents He said his parents brought him from the skies to the earth But the teacher took him from the earth to the sky in other words education Not only educates us, but he informs us and more importantly nourishes us nourishes the soul It is very important for us to understand the significance of college education Because without education then we feel empty. We feel sometimes unable to communicate Of course college education will greatly help us in our pursuit of our career My advice to anybody who wants to go for education is this any kind of education? You should pursue what your passion is what you enjoy studying what you enjoy? Reading that way your education will help you and you will actually look forward to it You will not hate studying. You will enjoy it. So that's the first point Secondly make sure that that education is towards a further goal that you have in mind In other words, you should decide what you would like to become Of course, sometimes people change their minds and that is perfectly okay But have a reasonable idea of what you would like to pursue and then structure your education accordingly There is another point about education that I would like to stress Which is that many a time without education Especially in this world We are not able to connect with people to communicate and education will not only help us communicate But broaden our horizons make us more tolerant make us able to connect with others and more importantly make us better human beings because Education in today's world especially is not only a matter of a degree or a certificate But more importantly is about humanity many a time. I feel that we become less human less Islamic in many ways because we do not have the right perspective on things Thank you very much. Thank you very much professor Liaqa Takim. I felt like I was sitting in your class again You know that was so long But very very informative at the same time your classes Were nice. We do we do miss you doctor Takim. Hopefully we see you again very soon Now when we look at the financial side, I think we have a couple of more minutes left We have five minutes left to the end of the show But when you look at the financial side of education and when we go to look at the other sides of Education now we had a few callers and a few voice notes saying Saying that it depends on how you structure doctor Takim said it depends on how you structure Your vision in education if you structure it in a way where motivate yourself Then you will actually have fun in university and trust me, you know I went through, you know difficult times when I say difficult times, you know you through university I thought I was gonna make it but alhamdulillah. I mean things worked out to the best You know and at the end of the day You just have to motivate yourself and continue motivating yourself because honestly one of the things that we need is Motivation but with huge numbers like 25k. That's not motivating yourself, bro That's that's just you know throwing away your money, you know Mohammed Hussain Ahmed Musawi He said from Michigan He said that his friend graduated from medicine school and he's in two thousand two hundred thousand dollars worth of debt Now we all know that doctors make a fortune drive nice cars and have a nice house He'll pay that money back, but in over how many years, you know, and you know, how long will financial aid last? For people that maybe cannot pay back the universities once I was watching a view I was watching a video and before I do mention a video do call in at the number shown below and Answer the question or send us a question send the question Cush, you know, you know in Arabic means what in English? All right Send us a message on WhatsApp Is college education worth it? What do you think now back to the video once I saw I actually saw a video You can go on YouTube and check this out a lady She finished university She finished college in the US working three jobs Just to pay off her tuition fee three years. She worked after university. She worked. I think KFC or somewhere She was washing dishes and then she went somewhere else to As a cashier and then somewhere else to you know to work Something else and then She has to work three jobs just to pay that now is that the fault of tuition or is that the fault of The economy we don't really know and I don't want to come to a conclusion because this show Will leave the conclusion till the end because This segment is towards you you have to let me know what you think about college education All right So we'll go into a very short break. Let me just you know drink some water. I'm really thirsty But let me let's just go to a short break and we'll be back very shortly Yeah, welcome back Hope you inshallah enjoyed that short report with hashtag and T But we are getting another voice voice. No, we're getting a phone call. Yes. Salamu alaikum Hello, Salamu alaikum No, but I'm not this topic is really exhausting and I'm using at the same time Can you can we get your name and where you're from? But to from the essay But to the fun USA, okay, but to from USA. So this topic is exhausting you Yeah, and it's kind of controversial at the same time. Okay Let us know why I mean education is necessary. But at the same time, it's all that necessary I mean if we're looking for, you know, medical purposes engineering Then yeah, you need that education But at the same time, it's gonna get to death But then again, you have, you know, jobs and Belgates who didn't you know complete their education look at, you know The businesses that they started and the money that they have And then we have the problem was if you don't complete your education for men, you know Marriage a lot of the families Won't give their daughters because That's proposing hasn't completed their education. Yes. Yes Now some some of it's really controversial It is it is it is I I agree with you and I agree with everyone that does call him because honestly everyone has their own opinion and One of the things that you mentioned people won't give their daughters away in marriage when you're in debt That's the bottom line Yeah Yes, thank you very much for joining our show tonight sister, but to from the US. Thank you very much now Let's go back to see what we have talked about and where we reached right now So we talked about tuition fees including your accommodation your food your transportation your books public universities You're looking at 25 grand 25 thousand dollars 25 G's whatever you want to call them. You're still paying 25 thousand dollars You're still being paying big bucks private universities apply private colleges Depending if you're a state students or a foreign or international student You're looking at fifty thousand dollars and I'm not here, you know But to have said that this topic is exhausting. Trust me. I've been there Done that been there done that, you know But at the same time we have to look at ourselves Is it worth it at the end of the day? I think it's worth it because if we were to look at How I'll beta alaym salam looked at education We would be very motivated and we have to be motivated by this because honestly If you have a passion towards something as professor Taqeem said if you have a passion towards something that should that by itself should motivate you To make money to be successful and we keep on going back to money because money is Important in that anyways So if you're passionate about medical school You won't let anything stop if you're passionate about business You won't let anything stop if you're passionate about economics if you're passionate about arts if you're passionate about social sciences you know therapy I psychiatrist, you know, I say in psychology wherever whatever Whatever you're passionate about Keep that in your mind and motive you keep on reminding yourself, you know There's the app that you know every day you put in a quote or you put a set of quotes I can't remember what the app is. I deleted it a while ago because I don't need anyone but You you put a bunch of quotes or it selects a bunch of quote Depending on your mood. I don't know how it does that but a lot of people says it does work So depending on your mood, it just gives you quotes to keep on motivating you And honestly, you need motivation when you're going through university University is a lot of stress, but that's why The percentage of acceptance is very high and a lot of money is paid towards it. So, you know that When you go through university, you've paid so much money in order to get that diploma or to get that bachelor's degree So it all goes down to you and your decision and how you motivate yourself and how passionate are you towards your goals Now Imam alayhi salam. He says seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave, I Just want to repeat that for a second seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave Now we do have a WhatsApp message that just came in and I want I want to comment on this Now we have Nargis from the UK. She says my brother holds a bachelor's in psychology and he's currently unemployed in this case I Don't think college education is worth it. Why so much negativity? Wow, okay Not not to Nargis. Thank you very much for you know sending in the questions But everyone is saying college education sometimes is it worth it because of the stuff that you have to pay for but Trust me when I say If you're passionate about it If you're passionate about it, then you can motivate yourself and you will make that dough you will make that That that money that mula. We do have one last WhatsApp message Mustafa from Netherlands. He says college graduates are more productive as members of Society So let me let me just repeat that College graduates are more productive as members of society hence resulting in lower crime rates and better citizenship For more educated people, okay, okay, so that's a Way to look at it lower crime rates if you're a graduate, you know and and sometimes This is actually true because one of my friends. I ran into him a few years ago. He graduated. He's done This guy is high on weed or he drinks or something So I asked him like what's going on boy? You look you look down. He's like, well, I got to pay back my fees I'm like, you're not gonna get you're not gonna pay it back by weed and you know drinking you got to go and get some work You know, you got to go and get some money to pay him back But I want to go back to the hadith of Imam Ali I think I think we'd be yeah We have one more minute left to conclude with this imam. I didn't be thought of al-Islam the commander of the faithful He says seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave and this makes perfect sense because honestly, it's not It's it's out of our hands You know walk with someone for two weeks less ten days walk with someone for ten days. You're gonna Get that habit. So right there. You're actually getting a bit of knowledge or you're getting some habits, okay? From the cradle from the cradle you learn how to be compassionate from your mother and from your father depending if they're Compassionate and they're passionate towards you and showing you love and mercy and then when you go through education That right there you're seeking the knowledge that you need and then to the grave. That's it Life is done. So I need a lot of al-Islam said it very beautifully And no one could have said it better than I'm a time he says seek knowledge from the cradle to the graves So basically I advise all the viewers and my brothers and my sisters to you know continue Educating yourself and continue paying those fees and continue paying those bucks cuz You can have to pay it back anyways anyways. Yeah, all right. Thank you very much for tuning in stay tuned for the next episode Waslamu alaykum and rahmatullahi wabarakatuh
