The Video is a Visual-Testimony of what I always tell People: It’s easy to judge People, when our Sins aren’t Public-Knowledge.
In spite of the Vocal-Lagging of the Video: it clearly details the Islāmic-Necessity of manifesting/utilizing the Islāmic-Concept “70-Excuses”. The Concept itself, albeit not found anywhere nominally via at-Tanzīl/Revelation: the Concept is most definitely implied via at-Tanzīl. This-Concept evolved from a Linguistic-Endearment of Pagan-Arabs Peoples, as per the Numerical-Phrase “70”.
As per Arab Linguistic-Culture, the Term “70” meant “Unlimited/Infinite”. So, as per the Original-Case which Allah established against `Abdillah ibn-Ubay ibn-Salūl (the Leader of the Hypocrites/Pseudo-Muslims via al-Madīnah)-When `Abdullah died: Muhammad (Peace be upon them) was forewarned by Allah, that even if they were to ask Allah to forgive `Abdallah ibn-Ubay ibn-Salūl “70-Times”, `Abdallah would never be forgiven.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.9, V. 80-84; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī)
As per nominally, the Term/Phrase “70-Excuses has 2 Known-Usūl/Origins: it’s contested amongst Various-`Ulamā (Religio-Academics/Scholars) that the Term “70-Excuses” was coined originally via Ja`far ibn-Muhammad or Muhammad ibn-Sīrīn.

I actually know the Person via This-Video. Fredrick Wells is actually a Good/Close-Friend of mine. And, in spite of the Evident-Quirkiness displayed via their Character…they’re a Smart/Cool-Dude. When they sent This-Video to me, I honestly was like: “Ehhhhh…I don’t know…”. However, I still humbled myself just enough to view the Entirety of the Video-Clip. I’m grateful for Humility. It was a Strong-Dose of al-Basīrah/Vision (via Hindsight), which was in my Best-Interest. It was such a Noteworth-Tadhkirah/Reminder.
It reminded me of the Islāmic-Principle: “Truth is Truth, regardless of whom/where it comes from.”. The Humility necessary to be capable/able & willing to learn from anyone: this must constantly/consistently be revised & sharpened on a Daily.
