Wish this was longer! Great podcast, really enjoyed it
One of the most interesting guest on this podcast.
I’ve seen this guy in gym, and I thought he was stuck up, but seeing this makes him seem like a humble guy. Really beneficial and made me realise a lot of things
This is why it’s so important not to judge and maybe speak to them as shaytaan gets us in different ways.. #reminder to myself first and foremore
Man said stuck up, were u tryna move to him?
J P go look at the definition for the two words, then come back
@@Celebfeet548 😂😂😂
A brother from the mud, May Allah bless ZPT and give him more, definitely one of the best podcasts, full of motivation and hope. Alhamdullilah. 🙏
Ameen 🙏🏽
'We worked so hard to get freedom and we're giving it away from what we spend'. Beautiful reminder. Thanks brothers.
Zaffs the man. A truly humble and good guy to be around. Been a fan since the Yellow M3 days
The brother doing the interview is not very experienced at interviewing he keeps repeating himself and asking the same questions and cutting in while the brother is trying to explain. He should use a notebook and make a list and sequence his questions properly and in order. Still interesting guy to interview.
Agreed. Hopefully he can get some training and assistance. Brother is interesting but needed that experienced interviewer.
Husnu dhan. Give him some time he is doing well for someone who has never had training before.
Maybe you could do it instead?!!!
@@RMAutos-gb1kj probably but in busy driving my taxi
Half way through the vid, the interviewers nose starts whistling like a dump valve yo I had to pause the vid I thought it was a bird outside
4 real
😂😂😂😂mans goes a dump valve. Turbo nassa
This brother kept it real and I’m sure a lot of youth relate to his story and his journey. May Allah bless him
Sadly a lot of the older cultured generation aren't as willing to share their story or inspire. Quite selfish to be honest.
I was locked up with this guy he knows my brother does anyone know where his gym is based ?

My first full video I've watched
A real conversation with real people something society lacks in this day and age. Mashallah 👌🏼
One of the realist podcasts!
A very interesting and genuine discussion! I would have liked to hear more storys from Zaff. But i understand that he perhaps doesn't want to share his sins. Its always interesting to see the people from the previous generation and the way the differ from the current. Back then life was tougher and people had more reasons to go down a bad path. Today the youth go down the wrong path because they think its a cool way of life, but in reality most of them have no real need to do so. It's very sad that that which Allah hates is loved by our youngins.
Man like zaff the pt reppn brum 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 my apnaaaa love seeing apnay coming along way sounds like a good brother may allah give you both success and shower blessings upon you. And your family's
Top man he is. Great interview.
Yeah bro that long ass intro was unnecessary, damn bro it was painful.
Really enjoyed listening to Zaff, appreciate his honesty and would love to hear more from him.
This one was really good allahuma barek
Faisal looked on nervously

Brummie Lads are quite energetic and Loud... which can be quite intimating but its all love....
First podcast ive listened to of yours, wow, wicked. What a guy.
We got to pray look at ourselves to pray hard work hard and live within our means.
His has a bit of an Irish accent😊
Always learn loads from these podcast, thank you FG!
Bro u can hear u breathing from ur 👃
Naseeha sessions should be on this podcast
Oh yeah that would be nice👍💖
Nah
Yh
A Ahmed because I feel that he might push away the audience instead of motivate us to try
I have followed his work over the years May Allah bless the brother however personally I think his approach isn’t fitting for freshly grounded audience.
Up to faisal and Sam I guess.
Just viewed this video and most Asian youths growing up in inner city ghetto areas in the UK can relate to this brother in some capacity. May Allah swt forgive us all. I was born in Bham (81) and grew up in Sparkhill (Adrian Rd) and life was organic without the hype of social media. And very family orientated in/out of each others homes, birthday parties, Eid, basically any excuse was a good one for a gathering. Food on the go, door forever ringing and the house packed with people of all ages. I remember going to mosque after school just like every other kid from my road at 6/7 years old, but we started to hang out on the streets whilst parents thought we were in the mosque. Friday was a treat day cos we had £1 pound to spend and it was value for money unlike now. We would roam around the streets and get into petty fights with other kids, and got chased by Sparkhill Warriors when they were much older, not sure why to this day lol. Having older cousins from different parts of Bham I grew up before my time and aware of criminality/violence. I even witnessed a multiple stabbing at a wedding in Aston (90s) and I just stood there without any effect on myself. We moved to London in the early 90s but still had connections to Bham. It was probably the best move my parents made due to the diversity of the capital city. I was not limited to just Pakistani community, which I love to bits and proud of, but my mind was developing. My parents never attended my parents evenings so I didnt put in the hard work and this was an issue in our community which has changed now. If you don't know what your child is doing in school then you don't know about their street life. I mixed with black kids but met my apne in my mid teens and they were pushing differently. Alhamdulilah I didnt have to be involved but they were my freinds. In my early 20s I realised we have choices in life and I made mine. I cannot disclose what my profession is for obvious reasons, and I made my parents proud, including myself. Not sure if the wider family was happy, maybe couple of exceptions. The point I make is anyone can get wrapped up in the wild West but keep your imaan and be open to opportunities that pass by everyday.
My cousin's live in 67 Adria Road !!! Sparkhill warriors were my younger brothers crew !!! Ganja , Sher, Pete, Jamil, turkey , gutty , Mohamed and the rest from Betty's arcade !!!. They were only having a laugh with you guys !!! To them they ran sparkhill park and it was their territory !! This guy being interviewed grew up across the road from me on Hillfield Road . It's the one where there is a petrol station on the end . Opposite the gates to sparkhill park on the Stratford Rd !!. I know his parents and his whole family !!! Sparkhill is now a total mess !!! Kebab shops everywhere and rats roaming the streets !!! . The only thing changed is they knocked down the swimming baths and rebuilt a new leisure center !!!. You are the lucky one who got away !!! I moved out of sparkhill in 1999. Best thing I ever did.
@@goldenbrown3283 i hear what your saying bro 👊🏼👊🏼
Congratulations you did really good
Jazaak Allah Khair Zaff for sharing
I’m not familiar with the guest but he is so likeable
My favourite epsiode so far. Zaff is really inspirational!
Very honest - youth need to watch it
Just wanted to ask if you’re doing an episode 150 live event?
Wat ever is written for you you will get with guarantee weather your rich or poor may Allah bless all of us ameen
Allahumma ameen
So true
U don't feed the beef corn, they are meant to eat grass!
Naseeha sessions :D
Came to this after watching minted minds
All respect to Zaff
Lol called him freshie!👌
Man called him a freshy lol. All Asian brummies sound like that
What an episode! Zaff you are awesome masha'Allah!!! X
No problem using grass fed butter brother its healthy
being drained of energy is a real thing. Doctors at the end of the day are drained as well.
Zaff following him on him on Instagram his a next level dude love his page💪🏽
48:09 you say that if you can’t afford something you wouldn’t buy it, as you don’t want to lose your freedom by being tied to a finance agreement. Yet your m3 is on finance? If anyone wants to check it costs £3 to HPI. I run a car company so have free HPI checks. I loved this interview however when I found that out, I honestly found this interview very fake. Why lie?
Abdullah Forever Men lie women lie hpi checks dont lie
@@juniorwitter1353 You know how it is. My brother (has free hpis) caught me out once for lying about owning a range lol
Why don’t you listen to his story, journey instead picking on one thing and making it negative?
Call aleem to podcast
Really interesting and motivational ❤️
For 28 he wised up early. People that have seen the reality of the streets know that when they hit their 30s they do not want to be there.
A real genuine energetic Brother!!
He “tried” to rob sparkhill post office with his older brother and got caught due to a taxi driver following them 🤣 He got 4 and half years . No one gets tag over a 4 yr sentence 🤔
Unknown trust 🤣🤣
Zaff the most humblest person!!!!!!!!
How you asking man if he’s Pakistani lol, can’t you tell
MASHAALLAH TABARAKAALLAH.
My bro mango unoo this akhs got a good hart walahi
Im from sparkhill aswell and im telling ya this has made me think so much as i can relate
Lool bs
May Allah bless Zaff, very beneficial advice jazakhullah
Really enjoyed this one!
One othe longest intros
If I want to market a product or a business who should I contact. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Learn facebook marketing, market your stuff yourself
This is a terrible interview..
15:05 ‘we wouldn’t put swearing on here anyway’ made me giggle
He grew up in spark hill not Compton. Looool
@haaris m yeah but sparkhill aint active how theyre making out
I grew up in BK NYC but I have cousins that live in Birmingham and I visited a few times in the early 00’s and guys are definitely in the streets it’s just on a much smaller scale and a lot less firearms. If you guys had more access to guns there would be a lot more reckless homicides like we get over here .. the prisons are def wayyyyy easier over there based on what I’ve seen ... you guys don’t have anything that compares to Rikers C64 is a mf gladiator school
@@MoAli-wm4of awesome story awesome story
Kaamil Mudhir Lol ...
love this podcast get me on there :D lol
What topics would you talk about
Real people with real stories. This is what makes a great podcast
We want another episode with him MAaaaan please
Yman- Wazzan 🙏🏽🖤
8:39 man let one rip you know. Too rude
A lot of people would not have noticed if you didn't point it out. Maybe it was an accident. You should delete this comment.
😂
Great guest!!!
Need to get kazi shafiqur Rahman on here!
Everyone has story nowadays lol
Tom akram ?
@@Celebfeet548 I meant this becoming a common situation more and more so especially in poverty areas of cities society becoming desensitized to things like homeless low income families so kids of these poor people find a way to make there money and fall into bad life top boy on Netflix is only showing a bit of real life unless government address these issues things will get alot worse poor will get fed up start robbing n frauds etc coz people get fed up that's what government wants look at tv license now .. like government cant make it free instead they will cause more tension and poor will suffer
How do you decide what day to do Eid if your wife is Indian though...
Alisha Lisga May be his wife is Indian Muslim 🙄
Mynameisnot John doe his wife is Indian Muslim as a Muslim man we can’t marry a Indian woman who’s not Muslim we can marry a Christian woman and a Jewish woman but that’s it can’t marry any other religion
Trapping all Day yea you right we are allowed marry women of the book ie. Christians or Jewish.
There are millions of Muslims in India. He didn't say she wasn't Muslim
People are just so petty and lost in their head with all these childish comments..
Ameen 🙏🏻
Man like mobeen accent haha
Astar K they frm sme area ahahah
And Mr Khan
A real podcast 👍 subbed
Good one this (Y)
Love the postions of the mikes cover his face😂😂😂😂
The end was priceless, how Zaff felt good about opening up
This guy wants to talk about Allah but has half naked photos of himself on social media. Be real brother you can’t have it both ways
So you must be perfect and never make any mistakes........
adam davids We all make mistakes but not all of us are hypocrites
@@Tt_seriesindia how is he a hypocrite you foolish rat
@@adamdavids1760 you shouldn't call people names.
I get the frustration but easy.
Please bring ustadh Asim Khan to the podcast.
/Brother from Sweden.
One pattern I've noticed of failed Muslim communities is the Peer Culture of the Sufis that are prominent in the community.. Its become like just believe in a peer and do what you want he'll pray for you and save you on the day of judgment.....
Thats unfortunate. May Allah help us all.
@@ia1399 Ameen
It's a shame, you want to find all the drug dealers all you have to do is go to a Sufi mosque on jummah..
completely wrong bro you have no facts just an empty statement.
Think before you speak bro
@@bilaalhussain2989 What facts do you require? I'm speaking from experience, all you have to do is look at the Muslim Prison Population..
3:01 thought that was doo doo LOL
My fave EVER freshly grounded episode!!
Fairly big guy. I must be looking at the wrong video.
JazakaAllahu Qayran brothers.
Enit oi'....frndz from berth...

The way he laughs is funny
🙏🏾
Good podcast, very motivating Masha’Allah, May Allah grant him success in this dunya and Akhira Ameen
MA.
Bonus points for use of Patwari/Mirpuri, and for praying to A (SWT) for a daughter. _Thumbs up_
One of these days, we'll need a panel of young people who do a full Patwari/Mirpuri podcast session. (Either here or elsewhere?!)
Also as someone who lived (and continues to return to Birmingham), and worked with people around those areas mentioned, Br Zaff is pretty spot on about the demographics and crimes. Stuff gets pretty surreal, pretty quick. I learned not to speak about them outside of the country as people find the experience hard to relate to, believe in, or process mentally no matter how normative and 'basic' the stories are (because it's part of a mainstream European community and doesn't add up to the idea people have of UK).
Faisal: can I recommend that you bring Tariq Jahan (who lost his son in the Birmingham riots) as a possible future guest? He's also from the region.
There's a podcast called @connotasians that does this 😜
@@aqibmehmood Cheers for the share! I'll be starting the series from tonight.

Bullshit
Far play with the positive change but living with mum and dad and claiming to be cleaning toilets to make ends meet is bull more like jsv and takeaway delivers
Amazing podcast this. Great listen Mashallah may allah bless the brother
