And some people, oh, I was going to There was a question. Let me come to a question. Where did I put it? Right. Um Uh let me see. Where did it go? Where did it go? Was this it? Right, this was it, people. That somebody had asked This was um Ibna Ummi or Ummi Ibna I I don't know what her name is.

0:25

Anyway, "As-salamu alaykum. I'm a single woman and I do not want to get married. My wish is that I want a cartoon male character from Dragon Ball." "as my husband in Jannah. Will Allah grant me this in Jannah?" Then I had to uh actually find, you know that. I had to actually Is that I had to find who these people were? I was like, "What is Dragon Ball?" Z That's the characters, people.

0:54

That's the characters she wants. Bloody hell. Beasts. Right, so this one "Can a woman get a Can a woman get a Dragon Ball Z character in the afterlife?" Afterlife.

1:24

Who's got a Dragon Ball Z costume, people? Anyone? You see, I'm sure you can get You can get that just on shrooms. You don't need to die to get that. No, look. The afterlife what your heart desire, people. You can have anything you want, okay? That Allah says anfus.

1:50

Whatever the selves desire is this. But that's So, from the literal understanding you see there's two approaches to the afterlife in taking the how do we view the afterlife in the Kitab wa Sunnah? There's the very literalist understanding, the textualist understanding, and then there's the symbolic understanding. The textualist, literalist understanding is that you can that people will they will be this very physicality, this kind of corporal corporeal, sorry, this kind of like bodily understanding to it of

2:30

very much like we have here in this world. And we will be in gardens and oases, and there will be just women and women for men, and I suppose there'll be men and men for women. They'll be chilling as well. And there will be kind of just food, and it'll just be a kind of like a tropical paradise.

2:52

So, there's that understanding, and in that understanding, you can have whatever you want, okay? So, you can have these things, and and scholars have discussed these things, believe it or not. So, the Hanafi scholar Ibn Nujaym in his book, he discusses that, "Look, if uh he says, "If somebody says that, 'Look, I I struggle with the because presumably the person asking was struggling with homosexuality.'" So, he says that, "Look, but in Jannah, I want homosexuality.

3:31

So, what will I get?" So, he responds to this by saying, "Well, if that's what you want." I mean, he gives different opinions as well. One says, "Fine." One says, "Uh no, that Allah will remove this desire there, so you won't be able to desire it." And the middle way you got to love the middle way. The middle way was basically a post up. Hi even in the gym.

4:01

Even in the gym with the post ups. Right so he basically said you can have a but a post up So it's what it is is the upper body would be like male. Is that what he did he say the upper body was male? Yeah because it wouldn't make sense if the That would defeat his purpose of saying that. And the lower body however would be of a female.

4:27

So if you're looking at her legs upwards you're like well definitely definitely I've scored. Then he turns around and he's got like a big beard and he's got his up. But that was how Ibn Nujaim uh you know from centuries ago in his book explains that.

4:57

Uh Right so that's the uh but yeah you could have from that understand The other understanding is a more symbolic the afterlife is more about consciousness. I I'm probably more inclined to that. I feel that the afterlife is more about the rule the consciousness. It's not about this physicality but these approximations were just given in the Quran the imagery was really symbolic but it was just given to kind of help people.

5:24

Um So in that
