No.3within yourself,I totally agree because I am going through this now and the things m learning about myself have given me a new perspective about life..I love doc series about different culture for me that's how I have learned about the world since I can't afford travelling..I enjoy your videos and missed them..good content😍
Traveling to me is mostly about using language skills and talking to people. Right now I'm taking 24 hours of language classes per week: 16 of an intensive Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian class, 6 of Turkish, and 2 of Lithuanian. Thanks to all this, I'm not missing travel because I'm doing exactly what I love about travel: using language skills and talking to people all over the world in my classes!
I have switched on notifications for your channel but i always get the notification 15-30 minutes after the video gets uploaded (today i was lucky cause it randomly popped up in my reccomendations)
Always remember, that almost 8 billion people are going through these difficult times. struggling economically, mentally and physically... it will soon be better.
He sal is it okay if I share a google doc with you because I’m planning a trip around the world and I’d love for you to help me? If you want to of course.
In a book I’m reading by Nyogen Senzaki travel is referred to as being like a dream. When we return home we are then awake to reality once again. I’m personally going to remain in the U.S. until the pandemic is over, but I still might take weekend trips in the United States. It’s great to see you posting videos and offering tips during this crisis. I’m already planning a trip through South America in two years on a motorcycle by reading Lonely planet shoestring books.
Good evening brother 😊 I watch your channel and I’m really happy that you saw the light of Islam and that you became a Muslim, May Allah preserve you and use you for the good of the Ummah ❤️ I wanted to tell you about your bracelet, I saw you wearing it in a couple of videos, and I remembered the Hadith Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men.” A Muslim man shouldn’t have resemblance in manner or apperance to women, you may think it’s alright, but if you think clearly about it you’d know that bracelets are normally women’s accessories, which men are not used to wear, so to wear them would naturally be forbidden for men, it’s clearly a grave sin when it’s cursed by the Prophet (peace be upon him), no matter how much we see it passively. So please, consider this when you think about it, or when doing other things that may be normally women stuff, but considered “hippy” or “fashion” and trendy these days.
I don't agree. You are referring to men imitating women, but the question of a bracelet being feminine is a cultural one (bracelets are not mentioned in sunnah) and in the ummah of our culture wearing a bracelet is customary for men and so is not imitating women.
Sal Lavallo Yes Bracelets are not mentioned in the Sunnah. What we were told to avoid is in general “what is considered to be women’s ware”. Like, you don’t ask if Pepsi is haram or not, because you already know the general rule is all food is allowed, except what is specifically forbidden, like pork, dead animal flesh, food containing blood, and what was not slain in the name of Allah, and other, while the rest are fine. Same case here, the general rule in Sunnah for wearing something that is generally attributed to women is no, unless we have evidence for otherwise, like wearing a silver ring, as the Prophet (Peace be upon him) did. In most muslim countries, & in Arab countries, a man wearing a bracelet or necklace is generally frowned upon, and is attributed to people who are disobeyers, and to be a feminine thing, not suitable for a man to wear. When you normally go to somebody’s house in Abu Dhabi, for example, and see a bracelet laying around, you’d naturally think it’s his mother/sister/maid’s stuff, not the man of the house. No matter how a wrong thing is being spread among people and is being normalised, it’s still a wrong thing nonetheless, which applies to an unfortunate number of other stuff that is happening around us too.
Also, forgive me If I’m being blunt, but I came across a video of you and your ex-girlfriend which was posted about a year ago. You may not know it, but men shouldn’t look at women who aren’t rightly covered, let alone not covered at all. Therefore, as you may’ve guessed it already, you shouldn’t be posting content with them in the picture, or the thumbnail. There is no girlfriend/boyfriend in our religion, as it’s naturally not the normal nor the right way of relationships. You just see it all the time, cheating and odd terms of endearment, and almost all just end up breaking up, over and over and over again. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that you should please take it down, so you don’t give access to people to watch someone who’s not properly covered, and gain sins for that, and be careful next time 😊 As always, stay safe, and may Allah forgive you and guide you to his straight path and make you always happy and successful 🤲🏻❤️
No, I won't. If you think it is inappropriate and you are unable to look at a women without being sinful, then it is your responsibility to lower your gaze. It's not my nor her responsibility to control your urges.
Sal Lavallo Of course it’s not your responsibility, nobody can do that. But what you can control is the kind of content you’re showing people. It’s not about being sinful myself, it’s about other people’s behavior towards a woman who isn’t covered. Which are naturally staring at a woman, it has nothing to do with you being good or bad, or it is appropriate or not. It’s just men being men, that’s why both men and women should always lower their gaze, wether you’re attracted or not, or wether she’s covered or not, to prevent fitna in the future and to avoid infatuation completely, which can easily lead to worse stuff, like physical attraction and adultery, may Allah preserve us. Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I have not seen a thing resembling 'lamam' (minor sins) than what Abu Huraira 'narrated from the Prophet (Peace be upon him) who said "Allah has written for Adam's son his share of adultery which he commits inevitably. The adultery of the eyes is the sight (to gaze at a forbidden thing), the adultery of the tongue is the talk, and the inner self wishes and desires and the private parts testify all this or deny it." What is more, it’s actually not only our responsibility, but it’s a woman’s too. Because if it falls completely on the man, then what’s the point of women having the duty to wear the hijab or veil to cover herself? You see, it’s a reciprocal thing, both parties must conform to help each other and stay from Haram; that’s why posting a video which contains something haram is not allowed as Allah subhanahu w ta’ala said:” And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.” [Al Maida:2] The Prophet (Peace be upon him) has also said: If anyone summons other to follow right guidance, his reward will be equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without their rewards being diminished in any respect on that account; and if anyone summons others to follow error the sin of which sins being diminished in any respect on that account.” You can research Islamic scholars fatwas about it on the internet to have an unbiased view on all the matters we discussed yourself, wether it is this or the bracelet, you’ll find numerous ones. I also suggest you ask the local imam or any imam in your place, he’d sure be very helpful as well. Stay safe, and may Allah grant us more blessings and doing what satisfies him, and To grant us Jannah in the hereafter 🙏🏻.
