All right guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, today we're going to react to Islamic guidance with their video, The Cure Two Aerogans. I have absolutely no idea what to expect of this video other than obviously it's going to be about the topic of arrogance. Guys, as always, I'm sharing my own personal experience with Islam and with Muslims and I have to say growing up in Germany, I really had many, many unfortunate encounters with Muslims. Most of the time there was no humility, plenty of them were arrogant, boastful, loudmouthed and whatnot. This was simply my experience in Germany with so-called Muslims. This is why, as I always say, when I read the Qur'an finally, I was shocked to see that the exact opposite of the behavior that I encountered in real life was recommended by the holy book of Islam itself. So I really hope that this video will be an eye-opening watch. Let's have a look. The Hadith is narrated by Abdullah Ibn Masrood, He said that a man that has even the slightest bit of arrogance in his heart, he doesn't enter paradise. Yeah, this makes absolutely perfect sense to me. So, you know, a man sitting next to the Prophet ﷺ, he was a little bit confused about what exactly is given. So he further asked the Prophet ﷺ, he said, Oh Prophet of Allah ﷺ, a man loves for his clothes to be neat and nice and tidy. And likewise, he also wishes for him to have good shoes. So the Prophet ﷺ, he said, that's not really from Kibbet. Rather, Allah ﷻ is beautiful and he loves beauty as well. In Christian orthodoxy, this is called Fila Koliya, the love of beauty, that God loves what is beautiful and that God creates beauty. Irrigance is when you reject the truth and you look down upon people and you don't respect people in the manner that or in the due manner that they're supposed to be respected. So, you know, this is absolutely man. Everything is God's creation. Every person is God's creation and therefore we have to respect each other. How the Prophet ﷺ, he described arrogance to be that you reject the truth. Yes, I absolutely agree with this as well. Rejecting the truth is basically one of the biggest blasphemous acts that you can practice because rejecting the truth means that you realize that it is the truth. If you reject something and you simply do not know that it is the truth, then there is no guilt on you. But if you know that it is the truth and you reject it, then you're willfully ignorant and arrogant of course. Because when you look at yourself as you're something that you're really not, you begin to think that whatever anybody else is saying, it won't be the truth. Secondly, not only does that happen, rather Allah Azawajal himself, he takes the Tawfiq out of you for you to be able to accept the truth. And Allah says this in the Qur'an. What is Tawfiq? Those that are arrogance in the land, I will turn them away from my signs, from my verses. As in Allah will take away that capability from within you of accepting truth. Yes man, this makes perfect sense and I've seen it in so many intellectuals. People that pride themselves in their intellect and being oh so smart, super analytical, super logical. Yeah, sure. Those people have the hardest time to accept truth or to even see the truth. Even if it is right in front of them, they will debate themselves out of it again. And I have to stop it again. Sorry guys, but there's so much depth in this video. Look at this verse. Rather Allah will increase you from staying away from the truth. And this is something that of course Christian apologists or anti-Islamists in general use to attack Islam. They say oh look at this Allah is the deceiver. Allah is therefore the devil. But don't you understand that everything is within God's hands. Even when you read the Bible, you see very very similar passages to this here. Only God can bring you into His truth or shun you forever. This so powerful God is of course. Away from the truth. Now you know there's a lot of things that can be said about Qibir. But to sum it up, usually when a person is mutaqabid, it's one of three things that happen. Or there's one of three signs that he can look at and judge himself based on. Number one is that you start to feel that you are greater than somebody else. Yes. Now you can either feel that you're greater than somebody else in something pertinent to the dunya. Like you know a new camera you got for example. Yeah, you're richer. Or you can feel that you're greater than somebody else because of a certain trait that you have that's Islamic. That is really the worst and this is super hypocritical when you think that you're better than other people spiritually because you fasted more or you prayed more or whatnot. Like this essentially you build yourself a spiritual ego. Like for example, you fast the worst. Like for example, you have ilm or you read Quran or you whatever it may be. Yeah, whatever. You start to feel that you have precedence over others because of that action. Yes. These are two aspects of one looking at himself as greater than somebody else. Now let's recap. First of all, in terms of the dunya and everything pertinent this reminds me of what I learned from a Christian Orthodox scholar and he said if you're fasting during Lent during the Orthodox fast and you're proud of yourself how good you are at fasting break the fast because if you're fasting practice is building up your ego and you're so proud of yourself, you're tapping yourself on the shoulder for doing such a good job and you're better than anybody else. This is when you fell into the trap of the ego yet again. You lost the battle. Let's recap. First of all, in terms of the dunya and everything pertinent to the dunya. If a person looks at himself as greater than somebody else because of a little piece of dunya that he asked then this person is amongst the most miserable of people. Of course. Because the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he said you are proud that you own something that will perish. Congratulations. That the dunya with everything in it the worldly life with everything in it is cursed and cursed is everything within the dunya except you know the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said a person of knowledge and a person that seeks that knowledge and then he made some exceptions different narrations show different things. So if a person thinks he's greater than somebody else because he has more lana than others what kind of a miserable individual is this? The Prophet sallallahu alaihi said if the dunya was to be equivalent in the sight of Allah even the size of a mosquito's wing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wouldn't have given even a sip of water to a non-believer but he did give sip of waters rather he gave them the dunya with everything in it. So if a person he thinks of himself greater than somebody else because a little bit of dunya that he asked then this is a person that's really miserable. Yeah because this dunya this life is nothing in comparison to the eternal afterlife of course so who cares what you own this is not what the game is about. Worthless, his mind is not working straight. If he realizes these realities that the dunya it's a whole bunch of you know except the goodness they're in everything else is what a test from Allah. It's just tough man and now let's come back to the theme you can look at yourself as greater than somebody else because of some sort of trait that you have that's Islamic trait let's take a person that's even seeking knowledge. When you walk into a meeting with people that are not going to Islamic classes with people that don't keep a beard with people that don't do this don't do that you walk into a meeting do you look down upon it? A man without a beard of course. Whether you like it or not. Joking, joking. Maybe I'm a little bit better than him maybe whatever you know something like that comes up in the heart of a mind right? You look to another person if you're really really pious you look to another person and you wish for him to be the one that says salam to you. You wish for him to go and tell people about the good that you've done and about the piety that you have you know this guy prays at night time and we give that example of the individual he was praying salah and everybody's like subhan Allah this guy's got so much pursuit. Yeah yet again this is such a minimalistic thinking such a one-dimensional view nobody cares man when you go pray you do it for God and God sees your prayer of course who cares if your neighbor your friends saw that you were praying nobody and all of a sudden he turns around says I'm fasting as well right so you wish for people to you know express those good qualities and those good traits that you have now when you look down upon other people what happens you have committed an act of giving you have been arrogant of course man and we understand the promise of the prophets of Allah to the individual that's arrogant that he will end up nothing nowhere on the day of judgment except in hellfire what you have to be that is absolutely beautiful I really wish that much more Muslims would know about this man as I said my experience with Muslims in Germany was so extremely negative if they would have only known that arrogance brings you straight to hellfire they would act of course completely differently this is such a powerful statement that arrogance brings you straight into hellfire if people only knew they would rethink their actions the prophet said whenever a person says that people have been destroyed then this individual is the most destroyed of them all he destroyed him at the debate he says you know all the you know people do these kind of things and people subhan Allah you know may Allah guide the people may Allah guide the people like he's not from the people he doesn't need the guidance he's a person of stature he's beyond that so the ulama they said look at the two people what did both of them do the one person that wasn't so practicing out in the open he had a good thought about another believer based on the apparent outset so because of that he had a clean heart towards this individual which is a good deed it's called chris nal van and this person did the exact opposite in his mind he's like man this guy is going to talk to me and this happens a lot of times when people and you guys are all inshallah ta'ala from good families and good people a lot of times people you know non-practicing people the one thing that they complain about is like you know when we go and meet practicing folks what happens we don't feel comfortable around them they start talking about issues that are beyond our comprehension that's normal and Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or aliyyallahu ta'ala and we used to say talk to the people based on that which they will understand if someone's around you look at his feelings and consider the fact that the guy's around you don't start discussing a topic that will totally go above his head he won't understand you might feel offended at every single moment you have to adapt a very very dairy like demeanor a person walks up do you make sure you give them a smile in the face yes man over here this is so extremely important i'm living in thailand now finally after three years i'm back in this country and i forgot how important it is and how powerful it is man this country is called the land of thousands smiles for a reason i walk down the street and people consistently smile at me it makes your day to this practicing so-called person in the side of the law this person will be better why because this guy did a good deed and this guy did a deed that could lead him to help because he's having give up against this individual but on the open you know this guy looks good he's got the beer he's got the he's praying salash he's got the hijab okay i'm in a pop but that's all out in the open and allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on that day everything that's within the heart will come out i want to leave you off to the story of malik ibn adina malik ibn adina was one of the pious predecessors at a very early early age in islam malik ibn adina he went to india with about 16 or 17 friends of his they were all pious men and because of him a lot of islam was actually able to spread in india so he was sitting there one day and a man from amongst the children of the governor walked by and you know malik ibn adina saw that the way this guy is walking you know he's got some sort of give it in there because you can tell that from the walk of an individual so malik ibn adina he saw him from a distance he said you know it would have been better it would have been more beautiful if he didn't walk in this manner so the senator governor looked at malik ibn adina and he said do you know who i am malik ibn adina knew he said yeah i know exactly who you are rather i even know your father so i know exactly who you are he said in the beginning of your creation you were nothing more than a little piece of semen and at the end of your creation after a couple of days only of your death you will be nothing more than a smelling corpse a dead body that stinks and people don't even want to come close to it and between that you have nothing in your stomach more than the feces who the heck do you think you are so when malik ibn adina he said this to the child of the governor he just kind of said he was shocked and he couldn't do anything because he realized the reality of creation and that's why the ulama they said a solution for given is to go and remind yourself of the reality of your creation that's why ibn al qayyama this is why i love jiu jitsu man i've been practicing quite a lot lately thank god my body is healthy so i can train it's absolutely beautiful but it humbles you every single time sometimes you submit somebody and you think you're the boss and then sometimes you get submitted and you feel like nothing yet again it's an absolutely humbling sport i recommend it to anybody look i mean you said whatever you do however how you get at the end of the day you're gonna come back and you're gonna use the bathroom exactly all right guys and this is it for today's video absolutely surprising hadith here i didn't know about that arrogance actually brings you straight to hell fire and i would absolutely agree with that because every single time your arrogance gets triggered your ego gets triggered and every single time your ego gets triggered you are far away from god you're not in communion with god you're in your own mind you see yourself as the greatest you essentially see yourself as god you think that you're greater than somebody else within creation but you are creation yourself and nobody is greater than creation other than god himself all right guys but this is it for today's video if you liked it leave a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already
