the dean show alhamdulillah peace be
with you I'm your host you're watching
the dean show we're at the mass nna and
we got an exciting show for you YOLO
have you heard about it have you heard
you know what YOLO stands for you only
live once is that what it's all about
get all the money get all the fame get
everything you can because that's it you
only live once we're going to be talking
about this philosophy when we come back
here on the D show don't go
anywhere this is the
the
the is
the this is the this is
the this is the
this is the
D this is the this is
the this is
[Music]
the good alhamdulillah now your name's
not YOLO no my name is definitely not
YOLO your name is Imam sanan Sal now
many people have no idea I just been
brought up into loop on a lot of these
things we're getting a little bit older
right now when you kick it you hang out
with the Young Generation you hear these
phrases I mean just recently I just
found out what a selfie
is now YOLO What's this YOLO all about
YOLO YOLO man this term is one of the
devil's greatest traps one of the
greatest deceptions for Society for
mankind and although it's come up
throughout you know history and
throughout the ages in different ways
the issue with yolo is that essentially
it's trying to get people to think
especially the younger people as they
grow up as they start to think of more
uh crazy ways to express themselves more
crazy ways to live their lives more ways
to rebel against the rules of you know
society and the rules of religion uh and
so the issue of YOLO essentially comes
down to one thing you only live once you
only live once and so when they talk
about YOLO what they really are trying
to say is you only live once so do
whatever you want you only live once so
go ahead and fornicate you go ahead and
drink go ahead and do something crazy go
ahead and make that decision that you
were wondering and hesitating about a
few moments earlier YOLO I'm just going
to do it so usually some of the youth
when they talk about YOLO they're
talking about you know a decis a
decision that they got to make so
they're wondering you know should I do
this should I not this is kind of crazy
like you know people don't usually do
this or this is very immoral or uh maybe
this is something really disgusting but
then they'll think YOLO whatever you
only live once let me do it and so the
problem with this is that this is one of
the misrepresentations of
immorality so one of the problems of
this is that it is one of the
misrepresentations of immorality where
Satan tries throughout history to come
up to different Generations in different
ways and so this tactic this new
deception of YOLO that's kind of become
a fad and although you know it dies out
and it comes back up every now and then
and people make a joke out of it it's
still a very serious issue and so one of
Satan's traps one of his tactics to take
people away from the Creator is to make
them first of all doubt in the Creator
doubt in the day of Resurrection doubt
that there will be any accountability
for their actions now if somebody
doesn't really think you know I'm going
to come back on the day of judgment I'm
going to come back and be held
accountable uh there's con consequ there
are consequences for my actions then
they tend to kind of do whatever they
want and one of the greatest things that
Satan can achieve is if he gets somebody
to disbelieve in the day of judgment
then he's safe Satan is safe from this
person why this person will do whatever
they want now this Satan doesn't have to
worry about this individual because he
doesn't believe in a day of Resurrection
doesn't believe that there is
accountability that the Creator did put
us here for a purpose and that everyone
good and evil every major and minor deed
will come back on the day of
Resurrection now when somebody doesn't
believe in the day of Resurrection this
means they can do whatever they want
they can disbelieve in God and there are
no consequences they can you know go
throughout all the types of indulgences
and immoralities that they can find in
society and it doesn't matter because
YOLO you only live once the reality is
you live twice and everything that
people are wondering and trying to kind
of fight and challenge in regards to the
struggles and The Temptations and in
this world especially with you know the
Carefree type of mentality that's what
YOLO is really about the issue regarding
that is that everything in this world no
matter how long you live no matter what
type of pleasure you have it's temporary
and the pleasure of the Hereafter is
eternal But first you have to earn it
first you have to get there you have to
earn the mercy of the Creator and the
beautiful thing about Islam is no matter
what you've done in the past whether
it's YOLO or something else whether you
believed in Yolo and you lived short and
all of that you still always have a
chance to go back so that if you do die
and you do repent to the Creator you
still have that chance to come back in
the second resurrection and have that
Blissful Hereafter Allah subhana says
in Allah subh says inah 4:
77 say verily the enjoyment and the
pleasure of this world that which people
are you know so YOLO about that's what
people really want to indulge in it's
temporary but it's very
little and the Hereafter is greater for
those who have God Consciousness those
who really know their boundaries they
know how to live this life and earn the
next life as well and so the problem
with yolo and a lot of Youth really have
to understand this is that yolu is
making you forget that which is more
important yolu is making you forget that
which is required and sufficient for you
in order to get to Paradise that uh
beautiful Blissful life that we keep
talking about and so YOLO makes a person
kind of heedless of the Creator heedless
of the day of judgment heedless of any
accountability whatsoever and it's a
dangerous plague that is affecting a lot
of people at the same time there's a
positive as aspect which is that a lot
of the youth are starting to realize you
know what there are consequences for our
actions we are here for a purpose we
will be resurrected again and when we're
resurrected we're going to realize it's
not YOLO anymore it's You Only Live
Twice you will be resurrected to the
Creator you will have that day where you
meet with the Creator and be asked about
everything that came previously and so
YOLO is starting to die out with those
who are you know starting to think and
use their intellect alhamdulillah the
person the people who aren't blindly
following the custom and cultures around
them who are really thinking pondering
sincere truth Seekers are seeing past
one of these major tricks of the uh the
the Devils the shtin pimping people who
are upon this YOLO philosophy we're
going to be back with more of the YOLO
you only live once actually twice we're
going to talk about what does this mean
you Live Twice back here on the dean
show is there a purpose to our
lives do we simply EX exist to make a
[Music]
living or were we meant for something
greater something more
meaningful I looked everywhere for
answers and I found

below back here on the dean show YOLO
you only live once now you talk you said
something about you live twice we'll get
to that in a second but isn't this now
the biggest pimp Shayan we call he's
trying to pimp the people isn't he AB so
now the man he's trying to pimp the
woman he's like come on honey you only
live once so now he gets her to maybe
lose her Chastity absolutely right you
know the brother he's trying to hold on
his morality not going into the insanity
and they're like come on brother let's
go to the nightclub you only live once
is this how it works absolutely this is
the problem with it it's more of you
know do whatever you want and uh it
really it's really sad because YOLO is
not just an individual thing it's not
like you're thinking about you know I'm
going to be uh resurrected or I'm not
going to be resurrected it's really very
impactful how you know friends and
Society affects the way we think about
this and so in our day and age it's on
the rise where a friend can come up to
you easily and it's so easy to you know
to fall into a p pressure so anybody
will just tell you go ahead man just let
let's drink let's go to the club let's
go here let's go there YOLO who cares
it's not a big deal and you the this is
one of the tactics of the Devils is that
they don't just try to come to you
through you know they're not going to
come to you as the devil hey I'm the
devil YOLO go ahead and sin no cuz if
you see the devil you're not going to be
sinning you're going to be pretty afraid
and so the issue is that the devil will
come to you in all the ways of your
weaknesses he'll make you you know fall
into this YOLO trap through all of our
desires and weaknesses and everyone has
different strength strs and weaknesses
and so a lot of times in our day and age
it's all the you know types of
indulgences that are prohibited thatan
is trying to come to people through
these things and so he'll come to them
maybe through their weak friends he'll
come to them through maybe a television
show or movie that maybe they're really
attached to but maybe it's not too
appropriate and so they come in all
these different platforms and avenues
And when they see these things over and
over and over they start to become
desensitized and so this is one of the
problems in our day and age and a lot of
times and we should mention this a lot
of times you know people look at for
example the power of the media in
affecting this kind of YOLO mentality do
whatever you want you know indulge in
your desires be carefree this is how I
was born you know I can't control myself
just let it go and even you know you
notice now and this is going to be very
controversial to some people that even
with little kids they're starting to
start this uh kind of trend of YOLO in
different ways and so you know like now
they have you know Let it go Let it go
Let it go how the kids are singing it
and to them you know it is isn't
innocent we're not saying that the kids
are assuming anything else but these
words let it go let your NS go let your
cinal desires free it means do whatever
you want this is the path of desires and
so you start to become a slave of your
desires you're no longer a slave to the
Creator you're no longer pursuing the
path of the Creator you're no longer
worshiping the Creator in the way that
he's pleased or in the way that earns
Paradise the way that leads to paradise
and you know it's really really sad
because Paradise if we just described it
for hours and hours and hours it
wouldn't be sufficient to describe what
there is in Paradise the BL and The
Eternity in Paradise is beyond our
description as human beings and you know
I personally travel around and actually
talk about paradise and hell for in
depth you know sometimes for 20 30 hours
of just paradise and hellfire and some
people wonder is there that much to you
know to say about Paradise there's more
and the beautiful thing about Paradise
is that what God has told us about it
what God has told us about it is nothing
compared to what he has prepared for us
in paradise and so YOLO starts to become
a trend it starts to become
a type of indulgence through every
weakness every platform every movie
every TV show it'll try to somehow
desensitize our hearts and when our
hearts become weak we start to fall into
our you know desires we start to pursue
our weaknesses our you know this and
that it's usually through bad friends
and bad company and so one of the
greatest things we can do as a shield
against YOLO after first having the you
know the best intentions possible is to
kind of surround oursel with good
because when you surround yourself with
people who are better than you people
who are actually thinking no it's not
you live once you will actually live
twice you start to become inspired you
start to become motivated you know what
maybe there is a purpose maybe there's
something I'm failing maybe I'm too weak
maybe I need these good people around me
in order to stay strong and so the first
thing we can do after setting that good
intention is to have good company and
sometimes people don't like this issue
and you know it's not something that
should be sugarcoated the reality is if
you have a bad friend who's pulling you
down into this mentality you either
agree together that you no longer agree
on you live once that you live twice or
you have to cut him off or cut her off
and realize to yourself that this person
is not going to stand there on the day
of Resurrection on the day when you're
resurrected for your second life and say
you know what it was my fault I was a
bad friend you know let me take their
responsibility let me take their sins no
it's each individual for themselves yeah
and so we all have that responsibility
of believing You Only Live Twice so you
will be resurrected you will you know
come to accountability you come to meet
the Creator one-on-one with no barriers
no translators no mediators whatsoever
and so this is a big issue that's you
know starting to become trendy at the
same time there are people starting to
realize you know there are ways to
circumvent this absolutely now someone
says look you know the skeptic he's like
look that's just one of those uh you
know Christian fundamentalist now you
got Islamic fundamentalist that's all
that religion uh Hocus Pocus you know we
got science nowadays you know that's the
cool thing the cool train all this
religion stuff you just guys just trying
to restrict us what would you say now
the sad reality is all of these types of
arguments are falling back into the same
trap of the Devils where they try to
come to us as if we are intellectuals
and prideful and we know what's best and
the funny thing is even about science is
that a lot of it is Theory a lot of it
changes and so science is is basically
what we understand about this world our
limited human understanding of knowing
and the concept and the discussion on of
knowing something is very deep and
beautiful and if somebody studied this
for years they would start to realize
truly there is no perfect way of knowing
our purpose in life except through
Revelation and that you know when they
try to disguise for example
intellectualism as a type of you know
Freedom go away from your Rel it's free
religion is confining you it's actually
enslaving you to your desires and so
religion especially Islam where Allah
subhana T is freeing us from enslavement
to this world and so YOLO is enslaving
us to our desires and the mentality of
living for the Hereafter living for
accountability it's not only rational
and logical it's also better for us in
every single way in this world and in
the next and it's not enslaving us to
that which is pulling us away and
pulling us down as animals and not as
human beings rather it's pulling us up
as a form of uh humble servants towards
the Creator we're at the mass ikna
convention we're talking about YOLO we
got some more to talk about on this
topic don't go anywhere Islamic
terrorism misconception Muslims are
terrorists this is by far the biggest
misconception of Islam given unfairly by
stereotyping and the Public Image that
the media gives has anyone else noticed
how when a specific group of people
attack another group of people it is
labeled as a hate crime crime but when a
Muslim opens fire on anybody it is
quickly regarded as terrorism many
political dictators and officials or
extremist groups use the name of Islam
as a strategy to Garner followers and
attention when many of their practices
go against the true basis of Islam the
media has also portrayed Islam as a cult
or a club where if you join you become a
terrorist and that is now part of your
agenda however all over the world people
practice Islam in the true form and use
it as a way of life there are many
verses in the Quran that go against the
idea of terrorism some of these verses
include fight the way of Allah those
that fight you but do not transgress
limits for God does not love
transgressors this basically means do
not fight except in self-defense and
even in doing so do not go beyond
defense another verse States if they
seek peace then you seek peace which
means do not attack people for no reason
or kill innocent people there is nowhere
in Islam whether it be in the Quran or
the teachings of Muhammad that promotes
the killing of in

below back here on the dean show with
the YOLO you only live now we're
changing it once twice absolutely what
what do you mean go go into this now a
little bit deeper what what do you mean
like they're saying only live once how
are we going to live twice if we die
yeah so now this beautiful thing about
the day of Resurrection this
Resurrection when we talk about it is
that God created us with a purpose and
we have to really start to realize as
human beings that there is a purpose
it's not only what we understand with
our limited senses about this world it's
not you know empirism it's not
rationalism in its limited sense rather
it's Revelation that the that the
Creator is telling us I will resurrect
you once again and as I created you the
first time I can resurrect you easily
and as the Creator created the heavens
and the Earth it's easy to create the
human beings again it's not something
that's irrational it's very logical
actually makes more sense than anything
else and so when the Creator is telling
us that you'll be resurrected again he's
telling us that you'll be resurrected
and you will be held accountable for
what you did in the previous life now in
this world we have all of these
blessings you know some people have
different types of blessings some people
go through different trials some people
are born to maybe disbelieving families
and so everybody goes through this
journey in life and they try to
understand what is the purpose of life
this is the question that's been asked
for Centuries by all the philosophers
and all the you know thinkers and all
the great intellectuals and so when we
talk about the resurrection we're
talking about the day when we all return
all of mankind will return we will be
held accountable for all of our Deeds
now those who repented for their sins as
soon as they repented sincerely their
sins are forgiven that's the beautiful
thing about Islam is that the door of
repentance and mercy is constantly open
until the day you die and so there is no
sin that you can commit no matter how
bad it is even if you disbelieved in God
even if you committed all the worst sins
in this world anything that you do in
this world as soon as you turn back to
the Creator sincerely and you ask for
forgiveness he forgives you so that on
the day of Resurrection when you come
back to him those sins are forgiven and
so even if they're recorded in the book
of Deeds he tells you I forgive you for
the sins and today you'll enter paradise
and so on that day there are only two
places to go there's only Paradise or
Hellfire and so God created us with his
purpose testing us to worship him to
test us to see whom does good and whom
does evil and Allah subhana tells us
about this through the messengers that
he sent to Mankind and every messenger
came with a message and the final
message which was uh preserved is the
message of the Quran of prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam and so Allah
subh mentions the the resurrection
throughout the Quran in many different
ways
as all these different names for the day
when we all return so we're all standing
there and every single person will be
waiting and they're worried on that day
what will I say to the Creator I thought
YOLO I thought I was only going to live
once what will I say who I going to
blame and so on that day everyone is
trying to do what they're trying to get
some good deeds and get rid of their
sins and on that day there is no
currency like the currency of this life
so nobody's going to have their dollars
nobody's going to have their rupes no
nobody's going to have the real nobody's
going to have any of the worldly
currency no gold no silver nothing no
palaces no houses no cars it's all about
the Deeds so on that day all the
currency is the good deeds and the bad
deeds and those that you repented for
are God and so on that day people are
trying to run around and get some good
deeds from others the own family their
own friends but on that day everyone is
so afraid and terrified that they're
worried about themselves I need to get
to Paradise I need to get to Paradise
Ney myself myself and so on that day
everyone is worried and Allah subh gives
us a beautiful example in the Quran when
he mentions the difference between the
good people in this life and the bad
people the good friends and the bad
friends when he
says the good friends in this life on
that day they will be enemies to each
other on the day of Resurrection we all
come back to the Creator we're all
enemies to each other we're all running
away from each other we're blaming each
other for what we did in the previous
life for you know taking you to the club
taking you to this taking you that
taking you astray from the Creator
taking you to your desires so everyone's
blaming each other they're all running
away from each other even the mother the
Father the kids except
who except those who had God
Consciousness those who had tawa and so
these people who are always thinking
ahead the these are the feel people who
are using their intellect they're
worried what am I going to say to God on
the day of judgment and you know they're
trying so hard so hard and it does take
a lot of faith and a lot of Youth have
to realize this that it takes a lot of
faith a lot of strength a lot of
patience to with with to withstand The
Temptations of letting go of following
your desires of just following
intellectualism in a way that's more
scientific than religious and so you
know the reality is that for us
Revelation Revelation and intellect it's
in harmony with what we have have our
own logic and rationalism it all goes
together and so we don't have any
preference of one over the other we have
Revelation from God and we have our
personal intellect that's telling us on
that day we will all come back when we
come back what are we going to say we
either enter Paradise or Hellfire and we
won't choose our faith our faith is in
the hands of the Creator based on what
we did in the previous life so if we
live the life of YOLO if we live the
life of Carefree you know parties and
and drinking and immorality and whatever
it may be on that day we have no one to
blame ourselves and so the last thing I
want to mention is this that the people
who are entering the Hellfire what
they're saying on that day is
what so these people what are they going
to say those people who are going to the
Hellfire because they had this YOLO
mentality they're going to say if only
we used to listen to the warnings to the
advice to the lectures to the reminders
to the good people if only we used to
listen and what use our intellect and so
intellect is not what people make it out
to be in our day and age intellect is
actually believing in the Creator
actually beli in the day of Resurrection
which is more rational than anything
else and so on that day these people are
worried and they won't be saying you
know this this punishment's unfair
nobody ever says that rather they're
complaining and they're wishing that
they could have done good they could
have believed you will live twice you
will be resurrected what will you say to
God what will you do in Paradise
Paradise everything that's in Paradise
as God tells us in it is that which no
eye has seen no ear has heard and it has
not been imagined by any human being now
a lot of times I ask people when I talk
about Paradise I love the subject of
paradise it's spiritually uplifting it
makes us work for it more it motivates
us so a lot of times I'll ask and maybe
I'll ask you this question what's
something that you know a lot of a lot
of people enjoy in this life any kind of
thing that they do something with a
thrill or a rush what's something that
maybe you enjoyed some people you know
they'll tell me like skydiving some
people say Paras sailing so what's
something maybe you enjoyed you know
most of the people they enjoy uh most
people out there they enjoy just going
out and and and satisfying their
Cardinal desires they like to go to the
night clubs they like to drink they like
to party this is what people like to do
absolutely it's all about carnal desires
but all of those desires end up being
temporary it never lasts and it's all
followed up by kind of some kind of
regret that's the YOLO mentality it's
followed up by a terrible lifestyle and
so ultimately those people who enter
Paradise they're happy that they enter
paradise and they don't regret a single
second of that You Only Live Twice
mentality they don't regret it they're
actually happy so they call out and they
say to the people of the Hellfire did
you did what your Lord's promised you
turn out to be true and their Lords here
doesn't just mean what they worship but
includes their desires that YOLO
mentality did it turn out to be true did
you end up just dying and ceasing to
exist and so the people of the Hellfire
are wishing at that point to go back and
wishing to fulfill their purpose wishing
to enter paradise and wishing to really
fulfill that you will live twice you
will be resurrected because ultimately
if if the Devils pull you away from that
belief then they got you they have won
over you they have victory over you as
soon as they make you disbelieve that
you'll be resurrected you're in loss as
soon as you realize that you have a
resurrection and you have a purpose then
you start to go back to to the Creator
and your sins are forgiven and it's easy
to get to Paradise as as long as you're
returning to the Creator and we ask
Allah subh to make us from amongst those
people a mean thank you so
much thank you and there you have it now
you figured it out YOLO you only live
once but we got you to understand that
it's not once you live you live twice
and if you're about to get pimped by the
biggest pimp Shan now you know when that
man's trying to have you lose your
Chastity and he's like come on honey you
only live once no no no no you
understand you Live Twice you're going
to be accountable because it makes sense
I think you're just going to run through
this life and do whatever you want and
then die and that's it you become dust
you fall asleep and that's all no you're
going to be brought back to account on
the day of judgment and every messenger
of God called people to worship the
Creator not the creation they warned
people about that ultimate day the day
of judgment we all be accountable for
what we did in this life because his
life is a test so pass the test by
staying away from following the is pimp
shaan and pass the test by obeying your
creator the one who loves you the one
you're going to return back to and we'll
see you next time if you haven't
