in hampton institute i hampton university now and then i moved to new york to work as a social worker and  this was a good experience for me i learned as a social worker in harlem that workers out of business because they wouldn't have been the need for social services they could be a contributor to society in you know prophet mohammed said that a hand like this is better than a hand like this so i decided to go to boston boston college and get a degree in education so i can get into the public school system and teach thought educational system in this i did so well in fact completed my degree master's degree in education i started teaching and i've been teaching pretty much every cent actually i stopped teaching in twenty eighteen twenty seventeen and when the  superintendent asked me are you retiring now i said no i'm not retiring i'm just taking a sabbatical he said oh you not read i said no i don't even like the word retirement i want to take a sabbatical so i just said ok and that's what i've been doing i've been on a sabbatical ever sence which is more or less studying in doing research and really learning about things that i need to know about so that i can help people intelligent me so that's pretty much my background in a nutshell yes sir thank you re powerful scrofulous maybe another time when i'd love to hear some of those experiences you head back east when you was a social worker can you tell us a little bit about your name  i like to hear people say it and i like to thank on and reflect on the meaning of the word scenes in this just you know i couldn't have picked a better name yeah there was good very good example there's a very good explanation of how you like people to call your name as in the service of the almighty yes so it's kind of like a muslim really is employed you know he's prevent you from getting sick and that made me think because you know i don't want to get sick so i started reading and trying to do research on how to stay healthy something about the food there not bt you know throw the more i read in a more i study the more interesting and exciting it became to me to want to know and so this is this is more or less how i got started i guess you can say and you can see i'm still reading and studying good question interesting question i've been approached off and on while living in new york about islam but nothing really phase me that much because mainly because i don't know anything about it and there they would people would give me flyers and buy me to a meeting think cetera but i just didn't have any real interest in  serious contact i had i guess you can say and then my sister which is my nephew's mother also became a muslim i said well if it can change my sister's lifestyle it must be something to do with my sister she was a beautiful woman and she was not a humble woman but she was a beautiful  then me let me look into this a little bit so i did i looked into this drama father reading and sounded interesting you know something that i need to look into more so i continued to read in continue to study islam but the few books that i had and obvious started to i said this is something to do so i decided to hold study it because that is the new thing how can i say the definitive book when it comes to our life our lifestyle and what we need and what we should be about hopefully it will be of some help to somebody ok the crohn's tells us too that a law created the heavens and the wow this is something that's think about so i begin to just become somewhat of an observer and i'm  for example the oxygen the air you go outside in the most the most prevalent risottos is oxygen so i said there must be some instructions in this you know a lot of time to teach us something about this particular risotto so i said well what is the benefit so you go and you look up he we have to learn to appreciate it so me look at all the benefits of oxygen in the now become to appreciate the air much more this is a valuable resource and the resource so we'd better is the number one resource that we need ok and then from looking at the water another plentiful resource here we have the earth covered brain needs oxygen oxygen first and water second not food oxygen first and what is second is what the brain and is what the body needs oxygen first and water second and then we go on and because that means the base decide this tells us then we can only live for maybe four minutes without oxygen ok and they say we can and we can live about maybe four days without water ok but food is further down and we can live forty days are very very to forty days without food so look at the at the importance of water oxygen water and then food and we seem to place all our emphasis on getting something to eat ok we need to get out in the oxygen in  and we don't get to gin in we don't get to the water that we need so we suffer so we need to put more emphasis in terms of our health on oxygen breathing more oxygen breathe deeply learn how to take deep breaths ok get a book get a good book on breathing they have many books out there on the science of breathing we need to learn it and then we need to learn about the importance of what all this information is that they'll be ok and then lastly of cause there are resources land in if we study the lane and plants that are grown in the earth in this is very important good to know ok so i won't go i won't elaborate too much on on those resources but they are important and the shrimp and biscuits burger king it when i drive down the street i see these places packed cars are driving packed so i wonder what is the food and junk food is pretty much sums it all up ok these process phones have very little or no nutritional value whatsoever many help folks tell you you have wholesome foods stairway from processed food processed food has excessive sugar excessive salt and all of this is the sign to keep ok and once they do it is then the food will not spoil ok to stay on the shelf for ever and they can use it any time they get ready because it's they have all these fast food places and it has to go to damage my health because they know you don't know any better and they want to make money these big big these fast food so they have are bad to make money
