You didn't forget the Quran.

The Quran actually chose to forget you because you distance yourself from it. You started hanging around with the wrong people. Do you think the Quran is going to want to be friends with someone like that? Jazaka for joining me, bro. Pleasure. Pleasure. Thank you so much for coming down. I appreciate it. How is it, bro, like kind of in the space right now creating content kind of it's a kind of a

whole new world and new age of content now because things happen so fast like when we were

when we started freshly grounded like almost 10 years ago is all right you put out one show

week you know you update people and even instagram was mainly pictures not necessarily video and

things like that and now we're in like a whole new world where it's like content, content, and then balancing

that with something like, you know, the, the, you know, your content being about around

Quran and stuff like that.

What's, um, what's it like kind of being in that space right now?

It's a good, even just starting off first five seconds with a strong question.

But it's true.

Even when I see you guys from obviously having started freshly grounded from how many years ago,

it's a completely different environment to the way social media works now in a sense where

before people would search on YouTube for what they want to see, they only specifically,

your viewers will be people who want to see your content in a sense. Whereas now I feel like social media has become, even the people who don't technically want to see me or want to see content of mine, they're going to see it naturally just from TikTok the way it is, the way the algorithm works. They'll get pushed onto a topic like whatever it may be, Quran recitation for the first time. There There's so many people who the first time they've ever heard Quran Restation was just on a video.

And so the times have changed a lot, but I feel like you guys have done a good job at adapting. And I feel like us as the new gen in a sense have to do that good job as well in adapting because I was more used to your guys type of content, the style of content that used to be back in the days, which I actually was, that's how I grew up, watching that type of content. Then growing up, you kind of see that, you know, this style of content doesn't really work anymore or the message that you're trying to perceive has to be said or has to be brought across in a whole different way. So it's like you got to make that

adaptation basically. I think anyway. Yeah. The other thing is you're dealing with like millions of

views now. Yeah. Which is it can be quite normal for somebody who even doesn't have a following

to have a video get, you know, over a million views. And that must mess with your head, man.

Knowing that a million people are seeing something ink and then like and then knowing it becomes addictive and that as well as like how social media algorithms are kind of like making it right like the more you create the more it rewards you and then the more you have like this dichotomy in your own kind of head but um look I don't want to talk too much about content because I know that, like, that's a, that's a, that's like, probably like the most normal talking point for you. Like, oh, you create content and it's about the Quran. How do you manage your intentions? How do you get millions of views? And so I feel like you probably like answer that question so many times. And I actually heard you recently talk about that in a podcast. It was a podcast with Dawd actually where you said like that that's always going to be kind of like a lifelong question, right? Like is social really good for you? Um, is it damaging? You know, there's good in it. There is bad in it. And I think it's always going to be a discussion. Um, but something else she mentioned in that podcast was something that that kind of really intrigued me. And it was, it seemed

like a common theme in that episode was the conversation around your dad. And it sounds like

he had a massive impact in your life. And he taught you guys Quran. And I found that really,
