Video summary
The core message of this video is that Muslims living in Western countries should not feel comfortable with their lack of knowledge in Arabic, as relying solely on translations creates a diluted understanding of Islam. The speaker argues that true fear of Allah belongs to scholars who possess deep knowledge, and since the Arabic language is the direct vessel for the Quran and Sharia, one's level of linguistic proficiency directly correlates with their depth of religious comprehension. A beginner in Arabic corresponds to a beginner in understanding the religion, while an expert in the language becomes an expert in the faith; therefore, believing that one knows Islam well without knowing Arabic is actually proof that they know very little about it.
To overcome the common barrier of procrastination, which often stems from feeling too busy or waiting for a future time when life will be less chaotic, the speaker introduces the concept of "productive busyness." Research suggests that individuals who maintain a schedule at 70 to 90% capacity often become more productive because the pressure of having pending tasks forces them to work with greater intent and aggression. While it is natural to want to focus on one thing at a time, the speaker notes from personal experience that being busy actually accelerates progress. Consequently, those who tell themselves they will start learning Arabic after finishing university or a job project often find their schedules become even more crowded, leading them to never begin the journey.
The video concludes by emphasizing that learning Arabic is essential for optimizing one's life in this world and securing a higher rank in the hereafter, as increased knowledge leads to greater humility and a stronger connection with Allah. The speaker acknowledges that historical factors like colonization have made Western Muslims comfortable with their native languages, but asserts that this comfort is harmful to their spiritual psyche. To help those who feel overwhelmed or lack discipline, the speaker invites viewers to contact his team for a qualification call, offering support to help them overcome these mental barriers and begin their studies immediately.

Any Muslim in the west shouldn't feel
comfortable not knowing Arabic and he's
making you too comfortable too content
thinking that that is enough for you to
understand the dean and understanding
the religion not realizing that all you
know is a diluted version of it rather
those who truly fear Allahel are none
but the the scholars then you see
scholars like for example
he says that the one who's a beginner in
the Arabic language that level equals
his level in understanding the Sharia
i.e. understanding the religion of
Islam. There is something called
productive busyiness and researches
prove that
high performance individuals meaning
somebody who is very good at something
at something he does whether he's an
entrepreneur whether he's an athlete
whether he's a a scholar
somebody that has excelled at something
there are researches that proves that
those type of people
many times they became who they are they
became became a highly productive person
by doing too many things. Even though
there is a rule that says don't do too
many things, just focus on one thing
because you are able to be more
productive at that thing.
This research explains that
when your schedule is at 70 to 90% busy,
you tend to be more productive.
And the reason being is because you know
you have things to do after this thing
that you are doing now. So you do it
with more intent and in a more
aggressive manner. And your body and I'm
saying this from firsthand experience.
My body is is in a more stressful is
more stressed and and a good level of
stress
gets your blood pumping. So, so you know
call it adrenaline adren adren
adrenaline if you want and so when you
are more busy you tend to get things
done faster. Now, what am I trying to
say with this? Talking to thousands of
students who want to learn the Arabic
language, reading your comments across
the seven years, you know, seeing all
the data and and what all these what all
the students say when it comes to why
they cannot start learning Arabic right
now is procrastination. And that
procrastination many times
it's a translation of saying that I'm
too busy right now. When I have more
time I will do it. But the opposite of
this productive busyiness meaning the
opposite of not having your schedule at
70 to 90%.
What it does is your system tells you
well you have you have time later so you
can do it later. And what happens is
that you end up procrastinating more
than actually doing the job.
And I've seen this with myself
sometimes. I might be working on two
projects. I might have my Quran in the
morning. I might have in the weekends my
own lessons with my sheh.
And if you were to tell me, you know, do
you want to be these busy? I'll probably
say no. I rather just focus on one thing
at a time.
But impressively enough,
you end up getting more things done when
you are busier.
And so this is for
you if you are somebody who tells
yourself, "Yeah, but I'm too busy right
now. I cannot learn Arabic. I cannot
start right now. So whenever I, you
know, later on when I have more time,
etc., etc." Start right now. And believe
me, you will not get less busy.
And and and if you have in your mind
like well no when I'm finished with this
when I'm finished with uni when I'm
finished with this job when I'm finished
with this project I will have more time
if you tell yourself that know that
nothing in this journey is stable and at
any time that can change and you
thinking that you actually will get less
busy actually you might get more busy
and then you end up never starting. So
if you believe that learning the Arabic
language is something that will
genuinely make you a better Muslim and
will genuinely optimize your end goal in
this dunya which is getting to a higher
rank in Jenna let alone getting in Jenna
but getting in Jenna at a higher rank
because because knowing Arabic increases
your knowledge increasing your knowledge
increases your tawa increasing your tawa
increases your connection with Allah
right that's why allahel says in the
Quran
Rather those who truly fear Allahel are
none but the the scholars. So Allah is
saying that only those who have
knowledge fear allahel. Then you see
scholars like for example
in his book of very known book he says
that
the one who's a beginner in the Arabic
language
that level equals his level
in understanding the shar
i.e understanding the religion of Islam.
Then he continues to say that that one
who is that one who has who is
intermediate in it therefore he becomes
intermediate in understanding Islam and
the one who is later on an expert at the
language then he becomes an expert as
well understanding the Sharia and
understanding Islam.
So, so in the Quran, Allah says that
only those who fear Allah, those who
fear Allah truly are the the scholars.
Then the scholars themselves, they tell
you that the Arabic language is directly
linked to how much you understand of the
dean. And you know what's crazier is
that what's funny is that somebody who
doesn't know any Arabic will say, "Well,
that's not true because I know a lot
about Islam."
And and anybody that feels like they
know a lot about Islam is the evidence
and proof that they don't know nothing
about Islam because the the more you
know, the more you realize you don't
know and the more humble you become and
and seeking knowledge and practicing
Islam is about realizing every time you
go over information, every time you go
over a book, every time you go to a
class, realizing how unaware you was of
yourself and of things related to Islam
that you didn't know before. So
knowledge should make you feel like wow
I didn't know nothing. But the problem
that that you that happens is that those
who don't know the Arabic language, they
actually tend to believe that you can
actually
understand the same level of
understanding of Islam as somebody who
knows the Arabic language and as
somebody who has the first tool to
access knowledge directly. And it just
blows my mind how how this can be
possible. And this is why my my whole
dae my whole methodology is not about
topics like beginner topics like you
know do you start with with grammar do
you start with vocabulary what do you
start with my main dawa is any Muslim in
the west shouldn't feel comfortable
not knowing Arabic but in the in the in
the times that we live in the whole
agenda and how you know after
colonization etc etc and how Muslims are
comfortable with with the language that
they grew up in growing up in the west
whether it's English, German, whether
it's Swedish, whatever you might be.
This is actually
hurting your psyche and is and is and
it's making you too comfortable, too
content, thinking that that is enough
for you to understand them whatever you
know understand
the dean and understanding the religion
not realizing that all you know is a
diluted version of it. Anyways, this was
a quick video. What I want to say right
now, if this identifies with you, if you
identify with anything that I've said

step and have our team of instructors,

institute help you actually get past
this feeling of like, oh, I can't do it
