Brilliant. May Allah SWT grant us understanding. He sang my favourite nasheed from Zain Bhikha. I'm so glad that he understands that music feels wrong. I'm glad that he understands that nasheeds must not have instruments in them. May Allah SWT make it easy for him and us all.

[@imaaaktar6360]

Brilliant watch! Really enjoyed it.

[@kazishafiqur]

Glad you enjoyed it! Kindly share with others.

Massive respect for Iksey. Very humble brother. The OG of Tower Hamlets on social media.

[@kazishafiqur]

Big up OG!

[@AzharulWahedOfficial]

beautiful Nasheed at the end brother.. new he can sing so well in Nasheed.. and when he said he is battling with himself regarding leaving music industry he should realize the fact that he is actually battling with Satan. and he should never let Satan win

[@safaasulaiman]

Masha Allah Masha Allah Beautifull voice No mor MUSIC Bro❤

[@AG_Trading_Hfx]

This is a good interview. I think you were overwhelmed by mahee and the podcast was just mahee talking what he wanted. Mahee must love the sound of his own voice 😅

[@123sumom]

Amazing thanks

[@kazishafiqur]

Most welcome 😊

[@Yesu]

Beautiful Nasheed

[@mohammedtahmidurrahman7388]

[@kazishafiqur]

Alhamdulillah

[@MSSAKProductions]

That nasheed was brilliant! Beautiful voice MashaAllah

[@kazishafiqur]

Most certainly.

[@zz4753]

Humble guy

[@hassanuddin11111]

Asalamu Alaikum regarding the music topic it’s totally haram there shouldn’t be any mixed opinions on it all. Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. Sahih al-Bukhari 5590

[@luf832]

You also have the verse in surat luqman

[@user-yf5je1dn1q]

Exactly. May Allah guide us all ​@@luf832

[@abzzbaasit5655]

Is job still vacant to send in CV by any chance, lool I know I’m 3 months late 😂😬

[@kazishafiqur]

Always hiring.

[@lilekoe1]

I’m a fan but you made the mistake of not treating this as introduction to a new audience. If someone that had no clue who this was watched this, it would’ve been underwhelming.

[@kazishafiqur]

Noted and Inshallah we shall improve every episode!

[@videosforfun2843]

You need to brush up on your interview skills no offence

[@zz4753]

This guy is new give him a break

[@kazishafiqur]

I agree

[@videosforfun2843]

@@zz4753 I understand

[@anujanigram8998]

Good set up good guests But need to brush up on your interview skills That’s my option

[@kazishafiqur]

Inshallah

[@drivingmadgames]

Transitioning from working minimum-wage jobs as a concierge and in a supermarket to becoming a BT engineer earning nearly 40K represents a significant career advancement. However, his subsequent dismissal due to lateness raises questions about his work ethic and professionalism. Moreover, his use of a mix of Bengali and English in an open platform may create doubts about his communication skills. Given these factors, one might wonder why any business would choose to engage with his marketing agency.

[@eightpercentdisciple]

?

[@jay409969]

42k 😂😂

[@alexraymond-en4dd]

You can lack work ethic when it comes to your day job but still be a hard working individual when it comes to things you're passionate about or interested in. Also, even if he lacked a work ethic in general at the time of his dismissal, the dismissal may have been the awakening he needed to improve his work ethic. Furthermore, mixing English and Bangla is part of his online personality, he is also speaking on a small podcast where the host himself understands bangla, so it doesn't really say much about his about his ability to communicate in English in a professional environment.

[@drivingmadgames]

@@alexraymond-en4dd Thanks for your lengthy reply, you sure replied like your IKSY.... I hardly doubt any Alex will be associated with Iksy

[@alexraymond-en4dd]

@drivingmadg Not quite, I'm not a fan of his, I'm not his target audience. I was just explaining why the factors you listed may not be as big a hindrance as you believe them to them to be, if they're a hindrance at all.

[@enforcer2022]

One thing I realised from watching these interviews, you always interrupt the guest as in you don’t let them finish their point. This takes away from their story. So you need to work on that brother no offence.

[@kazishafiqur]

Inshallah.

[@SUSHISK337]

Poor interviewing across all podcasts. No flow in between the topics and conversations

[@kazishafiqur]

Agreed!

[@nanumiah6147]

Did he hell reach the latest level his full of lies

[@mrs.k4612]

If this guy could only leave all those trashy music that he does, and move into delivering dawah through nasheeds maybe, then trust me, he will do good. I think all his little KZbin and TikTok moves have turned him into a younger generation celebrity, and I think it's got to his head a little. I've seen him at many weddings, coming on like he's some chartbuster singer. I have to say, there is comedy in his lyrics, but honestly, it's just pathetic.

[@mrs.k4612]

0:42 He's basically that one funny guy you had in your classroom that was always kicking up funny lyrics. Indeed, he does have that Bangladeshi theme element. But just like many out there, it's kind of worn off. Look at that Hamza guy, the Pakistani so-called comedian. In the beginning, maybe the first five videos were funny. But then he just went on and on, and look what happened to him. He then started criticising Islam and how our elders act. Until he actually got death threats and he apologised, and that was it. He was finished.

[@mrs.k4612]

10:20 I knew I saw this brother somewhere. He was an OpenReach engineer. Yes. Him and a couple of other Bengali brothers from East London. Here I was thinking like, I've seen this guy somewhere, but not just from the videos.

[@mrs.k4612]

11:08 Mr. Kazi doesn't call Flats concierge as concierge. He calls them porters. He's too posh. LOL.

[@mrs.k4612]

36:41 yes Mr Kazi. Beautiful

[@DukeJourney]

Good Talk 👍 #Dukejourney
