Shadowing Practice: Akhi Ayman Powerful Speech | BG : Halal Beats, Where you are - Learn English Speaking with Video

I'm tired of it bro Brothers think they're better than one another Look around you Some brothers are dark skinned,

some brothers are light skinned Some brothers are pale like me

Some brothers come from a different culture And every single one of us we are united upon La Ilaha in Allah, Muhammad Rasulullah So if your culture

Or your texture

or your skin tone You think you're better than a brother

sitting next to you My brother let me give you a big wake up call You wanna get headbutt,

come to me bro I will headbutt you to knock some sense into you It's not for me to stand bro, wake up The Muslims are suffering,

akhi And we are upon, we're sitting in the west

and we have this freedom Freedom of living in the UK where we can speak how we speak My Akhi,

my dear respected brother, my dear respected sister, please, please understand that you will enter Jannah only through Allah's mercy.

You're not going to enter Jannah because of someone else's opinion.

You're not going to enter Jannah because this person thinks this about you or that person thinks that.

No bro!

You're going to enter Jannah through Allah's mercy.

The Prophet Muhammad stated this, stated this the companions replied

and looked at him even you ya Rasulullah even though you're

the best of creation even you he said even me I'm gonna enter general for Allah's mercy

so what makes you think that just

because you have more knowledge than me you are half as

of the Quran you studied in Middle East for a few

years you come back to the you come back to the West and you think you're better than everyone else

But yet your character and your behavior and how you move

and you think by putting other people down Let me make it clear to you bro.

You're nothing but a waste man like me

You're nothing but a layman like me because a true believer

Is someone that another Muslim is free from his speech in his hands

That he's not attacked by his speech in his hands.

How many of us we we we come together We backbite

with one another We backbite The same brother you're with and I've seen it One mother says to me,

I'm ready to get married There's a sister I've got in mind There's a sister I've got in mind Okay, Allahumma ba-rahi Once your own friends,

your own boys are sitting around you Find out who your sister is Wallahi, they find a way to contact her Even though he's my friend

But this is what he's doing behind closed doors This is

the type of person he is This is how he is as a does weed, my man smokes shisha, my man burns vaping,

my man commits zina with other girls till today but yet he wants to settle down and be married to you.

How many men do I know that do this?

Love for your brother where you love for yourself does not exist and if you claim this then you are a liar.

The best way for you to show this is through your actions bro.

Put your etiquette and your manners.

Put your differences aside, there's people dying for nothing other than La Ilaha Inna Allah.

Why are you dying, bro?

There's people that are being alcoholics, they're dying in car accidents.

People are overdosing on drugs.

People are injecting drugs.

People are...

Just two days ago, two days ago, a 16 year old killed his own mother in the UK

so don't tell me what drugs are doing to you bro

don't tell me what following the companions your circle does to you made you chef up your own mum

and we want victory bro and we want victory within the Muslim Ummah

and you claim you're ready to stand in front of Allah I'm not ready to stand in front of my heart

A brother asked me that Wallahi

I Amen

Does not fear Allah The way he deserves to be feared

I Amen do not Worship Allah the way he deserves to be worshipped

Because I claim I do

And sometimes the ego gets to me The arrogance gets to me I look around me and

Pride sometimes gets into my heart I think I'm better than someone else

Like the time when I had to go and change my bag.

I walked into a shisha bar balied up I had to it's an emergency

2-3 o'clock in the morning I think to myself, Baba, I need to go and change my bag I don't want to be seen in the shisha bar, but I have to do it.

I went in the shisha bar I look at the Muslims in there smoking, kissing I look down at them,

the arrogance and the pride fell in my heart And I used to, and I looked down at them and thinking look at these basemen bro That's someone else's daughter,

that's someone else's sister Brothers were doing that, smoking it up

The next day some of those brothers in that shisha bar was at my event That humbled me

We got sisters that go nightclubs in the evening

But yet the next day they're there for dust And us brothers we looked down upon them

That Islam could be better than you and everything you've ever worked for bro

But yeah we put down sisters that don't wear the hijab, that wear tight clothes My brother that's our trials and tribulations What about the men that don't even pray?

How many men that I know that come to my talks, they don't even pray bro your heart is dead You come to the masjid because of waste man I get aimin's here.

Let's go and show faith bro We pray said Allahu Akbar Brother, your hearts weren't even in it!

Your hearts weren't even in it!

Brothers are probably looking around, what's the next move for me to do in Salah?

The people of Jannah is going to ask the people of Jahannam, why are you in Jahannam?

They will reply to you and I, inshallah wa ta'ala, I used to be amongst those that didn't pray.

I used to be amongst those that didn't pray.

Ask yourself bro, are you putting your gang, your circle, your boys?

Are you putting your game?

Are you putting those girls that you're messaging before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?

Are you putting them?

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told you in the Quran, the believing men and the believing women are allies.

We've taken someone else's allies bro.

our egos our pride our arrogance we worship that more than Allah

some brothers will say how brother do you want me to bring the board

and work it out for you you know yourselves you know

what it takes for you to lose your way Jannah is free

but brothers would rather pay money to go to Jahannam Faith costs money,

wheat costs money, committing zina costs you money.

What else is there?

Everything that is haram that leads you to Jahannam costs you money.

My brothers would rather work their 9 to 5 and then by the end of it, this is what the Kufasa are doing bro

They work their 9 to 5 and every single weekend they're drunk out of their head

They have no Iman And brothers that come from a good family bro, good family How many of them are in this community?

From a good family, silver spoon And you want to be a bad boy, you know he's a gangster

a true gangster someone like Faraon as the sheikh mentioned I'm

your Lord the Most High that's that's Faraon bro you want to be like Faraon go

and follow his way and you're gonna be resurrected inshaAllah

if you disobey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala you're gonna be in the pits of Jahannam with Faraon Oh bro man, I don't want to be with Far'aun,

This is a man that thought he was Allah, You yourself are acting amongst your actions and what you do deep down in yourself,

That is this pleasing to Allah The Prophet Muhammad stated clearly,

The difference between you and every single person that you see today, That is doing night clubbing because it's boxing today, They need to get boxed up themselves Why about Christmas?

100

Christmas that people follow.

101

They follow Isa thinking he was the son of God.

102

Muslims are putting up Christmas trees bro.

103

They put more effort in Christmas than they do in Eid.

104

And you wonder why the Muslims have failed your hand.

105

You wonder why.

106

We need to fix up bro.

107

We need to come back to the house of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

108

Just in this masjid here.

109

I'm around the back, I'm seeing brothers are doing They're doing boxing and they're doing wrestling and they Wallaha al-Azim, I wanted to come in here with a bow and arrow,

110

a cross back I wanted to come in here, BAH!

111

I'm ready!

112

Well the brothers are saying, nah, it's gonna ruin your image, so what?

113

But they got activities in the masjid for you to do, the sunnah, the sunnah for you,

114

archery Swimming, resting, horse riding The brothers are,

115

bro, cussing bro I was trying to have some money to get me some Jordans.

116

Jordans ain't gonna get you to Jannah bro.

117

Your Balenciagas and all of these material things that you're chasing in this dunya.

118

I know millionaires bro, millionaires.

119

And they shop in Primark.

120

Wallahi!

121

You would say to yourself, oh brother my man's moving a bit stingy.

122

Because no bro, it's common sense.

123

Walhamdulillah, walhamdulillah, when it comes to spending in the way of Allah,

124

he's the first one to donate.

125

When it comes to spending for the sake of the masjid, for having activities for you, he's the first one to donate.

126

When it comes to providing and protecting for his family, he does his job.

127

Millionaire!

128

Millionaire!

129

But yet man them such as ourselves because we're

130

so deep involved in this dunya and we're shackled to this dunya we look down and say look at my man, look what he's wearing.

131

In reality this could be a friend of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala because of what he does with his man, how he spends it.

132

Are we not forgetting ourselves?

133

We've forgotten our identity.

134

As the shaykh mentioned earlier, the insan and the jinn were created for one purpose, one.

135

It's to worship Allah to the best of your abilities.

136

You please Allah to the best of your abilities.

137

Whatever religion, from the moment you are born to the moment that you die, it has a cheat code for every single step in your life.

138

There's no other religions that gives you that cheat code What other cheat code bro?

139

This ain't no GTA, akhi For you to get your money up Mabha get your deeds up How about that?

140

Get your deeds up Stick to your 5 daily prayers Do you know where your cheat code is for this?

141

Do you know where your...

142

I can't even speak in front of the Masha'iq man Too embarrassed man Tell them to stay in the back

143

But your cheat code in this life is 2-4-4-3-4

144

Remember that

145

2 for Faljum 4 for Dhuhum 4 for Asr 3 for Maghrib And 4 for Isha You stick to this cheat code,

146

every single door in this dunya will open for you Your struggles,

147

your trials and tribulations shapes you to get to Jannah It shapes your path It shapes your manhood

148

In order for you to enter Jannah, don't you want to hear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that tells you in your maqiyama,

149

enter my paradise through tranquility and peace.

150

Why are we trying to seek tranquility in this dunya bro?

151

Nothing is created, bro.

152

Everything in this dunya is designed to break your heart.

153

I attach my heart to my mother.

154

Deeply attach my heart to my mother.

155

And I should have attached my heart to my mother to a limit.

156

You know why? because I know that death is real.

157

My mother's gone.

158

I can't sleep at night.

159

Wallahi, I can't.

160

And what's made it worse for me to struggle to sleep is what's happening to our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

161

I'm seeing body parts.

162

And yet brothers here, gonna follow the West and getting tattoos on their bodies.

163

What about the tattoos of the Palestinian people, bro?

164

They had tattoos written on them It was their name with the permanent marker.

165

That's their tattoos

166

Because they knew that if their children of their loved ones were to die and return back to Allah

167

The only way to identify them is through the tattoos that they write for themselves

168

My brothers want to follow the West and the Trend of the West and get tattoos.

169

My brother has a nice car.

170

Allahumma barik.

171

My brother Can I sign your car by scratching it up?

172

Am I allowed to do that?

173

Nah bro, cuss him bro, cuss me bro, it cost you my dollar Why are you doing it to your body that doesn't belong to you?

174

Brothers don't want to get earrings that imitate the women, tattoos Brother nowadays is even dying,

175

he's here What's next ya, what's next?

176

What trend are you following with your tight clothes?

177

Man will go to the gym with the tightest clothes, Allahumma Barakah, man can't even move Qasma, Qasma bro But that blanket,

178

that blanket that weighs less than 5kg for Fajr you can't even lift up Bro,

179

120 Qasma on this chest, be proud bro Because when you stand in front of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

180

they ain't going to get you nowhere They ain't going to get you nowhere Your wits ain't gonna get you away.

181

Look at people.

182

Look at people like Umar al-Mukhattab.

183

He was narrated that when Umar became a Muslim, Islam changed.

184

They could freely obey Allah publicly.

185

It's a big change, big change.

186

From Umar ibn Khattah, because of one man, they used to come to the Ka'bah praying because of Umar ibn Khattah.

187

They had confidence.

188

Not to say that the Prophet Muhammad didn't do his job.

189

He did his job.

190

Not to say that Abu Bakr al-Sadeel didn't do his job.

191

He did their job bro He took one man.

192

This is a man that even who the devil himself used to be scared of Nowadays brothers are walking with the devil.

193

Allahumma alayhi wa rahma.

194

Yeah, bro.

195

Man's on barking bro Man's salaam in the devil himself What's next?

196

You you conversate with yourself You conversate with the devil on what you're gonna do next.

197

Yeah, man Man had the intentions to go and commit zina or smoke weed or sell drugs

198

They're talking to the devil And the devil, mashallah The devil might as well take out his notepad and pen and learn from you It don't make no sense

199

But the reality is bro,

200

change yourself Yasir al-Dawsari, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless him This is someone that led salatu janazah for my mother,

201

so I got a lot of love for him But he said a story, he said there was a man that had the vision of changing the world.

202

He came to realize he can't even change the world.

203

So what did he do next?

204

He had a vision of changing his country.

205

He comes to realize he can't even change his country.

206

He had the vision of maybe even changing his city.

207

Nah, that itself didn't even work out for him.

208

He followed through by having a vision of even changing his community, his community, his borough.

209

Even that he couldn't do.

210

He only came to realize on his deathbed that he should have started from changing within his household.

211

He had big visions, ambition was big.

212

But if you changed your household and how you are inside the household, Then you and Allah will use you to change your community,

213

to change your city, to change your country, to change the world, to change the world.

214

Look what happened to Abu Jahl.

215

He was known to be the Faraon of this nation.

216

Towards the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

217

And my Shaykh, please correct me on this, inshallah.

218

It took a 13 and a 14 year old boys to kill him on a battlefield.

219

What's our 13 or 14 year old doing today bro?

220

Discussing what flavor vape to have next

221

Discussing what trend for them to follow on on Instagram and TikTok and they're doing raqsa raqsa all of this

222

That's what they're doing bro Who do we blame?

223

And I'm sick and tired of uncles with greybeards

224

and I'm not saying this is your community Wallahi I'm not don't take it the wrong way

225

But I've been in Masajid where uncles with greybeards Kids, fathers are blaming the youngsters for their actions.

226

You're the one to blame.

227

Where was you in giving time for the youth?

228

Where was you in educating the youth?

229

Where was you in spending your money on the youth?

230

The youth are crying for help.

231

But the uncles are thinking about themselves.

232

Yeah man, let's go to chai.

233

We're like, yeah.

234

Let's go, let's go to have some chai.

235

Let's go to the caf.

236

Let's go and chill.

237

We forget about the youth and you come and gossip like men.

238

You come and gossip with your big age.

239

You gossip, my child is doing this, my child is doing that.

240

Yeah, he doesn't talk to me and it is you the one to blame.

241

If I hurt your feelings, there's a supermarket across the world.

242

Go get some painkillers for your feelings.

243

I couldn't give a damn.

244

That's the reality.

245

That's the reality.

246

I don't care.

247

The reality is we ourselves should have a connection with the youth.

248

I didn't know what it means to be a father until I had kids myself.

249

I used to think, oh mashaAllah, this is no green card for the youngsters to think that while their fathers are pleasing Allah,

250

while their fathers are going outside to provide and protect for you, it is not right for you to disrespect your parents.

251

I've got women, Allahumma Barik, in my DMs, all my days, they're coming to my DMs telling me, why are you putting us down?

252

Why are you talking down on us?

253

Why are you not- my sister, I'm Allahumma Khattab, so we can judge by what is apparent.

254

You claim you follow the Sharia, you claim you obey Allah, you claim you follow Allah, your Instagram page from

255

top to bottom goes against the law of Allah completely and you wonder why I should be the one to attack you.

256

I'm not attacking you.

257

I want good for you.

258

You are the backbone of this Umu or sister

259

but the thing is one of the reasons why these sisters have lost their way is because of men like us.

260

We've wasted their time.

261

We claim we want to complete half of our deen.

262

We're in a haram relationship with these women.

263

We're promising their marriage.

264

The next day we're in bed with them bro.

265

Facts!

266

Brothers want to giggle and laugh.

267

You're one of the problems.

268

And you claim we worship Allah.

269

We claim we obey Allah.

270

We claim we want to see Jannah and we want to see our love.

271

But we all lie.

272

I'm not the best of husbands bro.

273

I'm not the best of fathers to my kids.

274

I strive to be.

275

You gotta strive to be, you're not married, complete your own half of the deen before wasting another girl's time.

276

I wanna complete half of my deen bro.

277

I wanna travel the world.

278

I wanna, you know, roll around on the carpet.

279

Oh you're a genie bro.

280

Man, I am, I'm trying to travel the world.

281

I want to see Dubai.

282

My brother wants to go and take a Take a picture!

283

Yeah, man's by the tallest building.

284

This doesn't mean nothing.

285

Brothers are only doing so for the likes and the shares and...

286

Wallahi, I've seen it bro.

287

Brothers are telling me, yeah, I posted a video, do you know how much views I got?

288

Is views gonna get you to Jannah bro?

289

It's the likes and the shares and...

290

Whatever it may be, is it gonna get you to Jannah?

291

It ain't gonna get you nowhere near it.

292

It is the Quran and the Sunnah that's gonna get you to, gentlemen.

293

Alhamdulillah.

294

And I put all of my culture of differences aside.

295

I expect every single one of you to put your culture of differences aside.

296

The biggest racist was Shaytan.

297

So when we got a brother, either from India, wants to marry a sister from Pakistan, or a Pakistani brother wants to marry an Arab sister,

298

and the Arab sister wants to marry someone from the UK, Every single person nowadays becomes a shaitan.

299

Nah, you can't marry him.

300

His deen is intact.

301

Her deen is intact.

302

She obeys Allah.

303

But the fathers and the mothers say, nah, she has to marry from her own kind.

304

And you wonder why we got problems in the deen The deen isn't a problem.

305

We've made it a problem.

306

We have reverse We have new Muslims that come to the deen of Allah

307

They see the fitna that we cause within our communities and they leave Islam because of you and I

308

And wallahi we're gonna be accounted for in front of Allah

309

because you You misled that person to walk away from Islam because of our actions.

310

You think you're not going to be accounted for?

311

Someone left the deen of Allah and I'm sick and tired of brothers playing the victim or the sisters playing the victim.

312

The brothers getting on to me about my hijab, the brothers getting on to me about me drug dealing, brother I have to grind out here, I have to just stop playing the victim bro.

313

become like one other community

314

because of something that's happened to them in the past they

315

want to continue to use it year in year out year

316

in year out we're not victims bro we're honored people we're gifted people Islam was gifted to you

317

and the best way for you to make someone else fall

318

in love with the deen of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is by following the Quran

319

and the Sunnah I'm a Muslim I don't call myself anything girls Muslim my culture is la ilaha illallah that's my culture

320

they know my DNA is my DNA is the Quran

321

and the Salah don't come to me with nothing else we

322

bleed the same we breathe the same oxygen the same we

323

talk the same we hear the same we smell the same what else do you need bro

324

that is enough for you to love one another right now

325

so before I finish this I expect every single one of

326

you right now to salaam each other salaam each other the

327

brother behind you the brother in front of you the brother

328

to the side of you this is Islam this is one

329

of the rights of a brother love each other for the

330

sake of Allah understand what the deen of Allah means to

331

you this is your identity this is your purpose Wallahi Wallahi Wallahi do not be like those

332

that will get dragged to Jahannam or will be placed in the pits of Jahannam

333

because you'll be the ones to reply to the people of Jahannam

334

and say I used to be amongst those that did not pray my Salah.

335

There's three things I'm gonna leave you with.

336

I call it the free C's.

337

It's not a gang, free C's.

338

Free the gang.

339

Free the brothers.

340

I call it the free C's

341

and I expect every single one of you from today onwards to adapt these three C's to your life.

342

Your first C is companionship.

343

Find out who the brothers are around you.

344

The brothers that love you, the brothers that care for you, the brothers that want to see you in Jeddah, the brothers that want to drag you to the house of Allah for you to pray your prayers.

345

Start with one Salat a day to pray in a masjid, just one Salat and you'll see the difference in your life.

346

Don't be in my DM, yeah, hey man, I've got this problem, this problem.

347

I'm not your therapist, I'm not your counsellor.

348

I ain't gonna help you.

349

The only one that can help you is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

350

That's the only one.

351

Don't come to me.

352

I'm not here to listen to you.

353

I got my own issues, bro.

354

I got my own problems.

355

I don't go to no one.

356

Why?

357

Because I adapt this one ayah in my life.

358

إِنَّمَا أَشْكُوا بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهُ I only complain of my grief and my worries to Allah.

359

That's the ayah that I adapted to my life.

360

The moment I realize what this ayah means, I completely forgot about any problems I say to my brothers.

361

I'm done.

362

Done.

363

That's your first C companionship.

364

Your brothers should be the one to know you're going through an issue without even you opening your mouth

365

because of your how you conduct yourself and how you carry yourself and I know my brothers going through something.

366

So let me open up to you.

367

Let me let me make him feel comfortable in order for

368

him to draw to me in order for him to open up to me.

369

that's the first C.

370

Your second C is being comfortable comfortable be comfortable

371

that Allah has allocated this deen for you be comfortable

372

and content so the comfortable content is this is the second C yeah

373

so either be content or comfortable be content

374

that the deen of Allah is gifted to you it's honored to you be comfortable

375

that Jannah awaits you something as simple Allahumma inni yasaluka jannah just ask this simple dua simple

376

but be content yeah be content with Islam as your religion

377

be content as Allah as your Lord be content as the

378

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam has been allocated for this ummah

379

and you're part of this one you're the first ones

380

that will enter Jannah bro we're the last of nations we're

381

the last of nation We are gifted to the best of prophets,

382

the best of creation And you're the first one to go into Janda Imagine that, look at the honor

383

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
