@@mysticranger6894 "this is a pure sport" has a different meaning to "this is pure sport". You understand the first sentence correctly. The second one means that people give up all their prejudices in life for the sake of doing that sport and trying to perfect it. That's not to say that the sport is pure in the sense that it's clean, it isn't. The difference is subtle, I know.

Thank you brother, I am telling you Islam is about being leveled, patient and self-controlled. It is hard to achieve and 99% of us muslims don't act like muslims or as we should. So yes Habib and firaz aswell because he is extremely educated all around are great representatives and there is no doubt they are the way they are because of the Islamic principles taught to them.

""The war of light and darkness sounds well but in this post-Freudian world men realize that the darkness ascribed to one’s enemies is a projection of the darkness in oneself that is not fully admitted. So in this way the distorted image of Islam is to be regarded as a projection of the shadow side of European Man."" Professor (Reverend) William Montgomery Watt, Influence of Islam in Medieval Europe, page 83.

Firas is such a complete person. Definitely is a polymath who is well educated in martial arts, philosophy, theology, psychology and just has a keen awareness of common sense. These are the kind of men and warriors we need to look up to and model after. Men who act from duty not wants/needs.

It is always a treat listening to Coach Firas Zahabi
We definitely need more of this mentality. The part where he talked about you shouldn’t let knowledge go away from you, and knowledge is power. That’s there what Muslims need the most right now. Learn anything and everything, truth can never harm you. You’ll find people ( sometimes scholars ) trying to convince that learning philosophy is harm. others will tell you to not waist your time with modern knowledge. even worse, some people will tell you to listen to certain people, read certain books, and that’s it, you don’t need to learn more. And that exactly the mindset that brought the umah down. So don’t listen to them. Listen to that man instead. He knows how to build champions, and we need more champions.
When brother Hijab takes notes while you’re speaking you know you have something to say. I love both these brothers al hamdulillah!
Massive respect for your guest. What a wonderful human being
One of the few genius in MMA, I highly respect the guy. The guy brings positivity and no ego
Love both of you guys. Could listen to this all day long, please more of these shows please brothers 😺
To be honest Khabib and George if they ever fought I am sure Khabib will shock us all even more how good he is,a year ago I was someone used to say Khabib striking is not on point let alone its out there with top strikers but I have seen him beating every single top striker who was just going there and killing it against Khabib the fighters they just not what they normally are,gsp is great no question but him being the bigger guy more experienced guy will still not give him an edge on Khabib if this fight happening on 155 or even 165 Khabib takes it

dude if i ever had a trainer i would want it to be a guy like him. just look up his story, he completely built himself up on his own and he further improved his craft further and further more. he continuously is on the grind. this will come one day when an unsuspecting individual who will go and train in a gym only to be caught by the eye of an old fires. just imagine what a kind of beast, an old fires with years of accumulating knowledge and experience can make 😂

I wish more people would discuss about game development professions and related careers instead of blindly calling them haram, but bringing up Khabib as a role model is instead acceptable...

Mashaallah very interesting and engaging discourse between the two brothers! Brother firas has some very interesting views, which i totally agree with. This is one of the finest interviews from an mma coach i seen thus far. Inshaallah the broski firas can set up a gym here in london. The government should invest in these kinda people to help aliviate the issues we have in the youth today. The discipline and values sports in general promote are the foundations of success in many aspects of life. May the almighty Allah swt bless you brothers, may he also guide us all!

love how Firas acknowledges how we are all born different when it comes to having certain natural abilities. This idea of we are all the same is not true. Gad gave all of us different set of skills and circumstances. We are not all the same and we all do have strengths and weaknesses.
