people who Shama deed and swagatam sultan so alright what is going on what is going on people what are the fittin and facade saying what rather me try and stand these up for the for the epic tragedies that were about to cover it on tonight's show well let's see what questions people have submitted do submit your questions I couldn't I was trying to go live yesterday and I couldn't come here and

2:12

my my little devil Zara had must have been her I mean I can't and wrecked everything damage the whole damn thing and so anyway I've got it all fixed and replaced whatever was necessary so people what is going on I'll wait for a few people to tune in God manager deed people merger deed I would how would you respond to an atheist who said who

2:52

created the Creator alright let's come back to that question let's come back to that question people it's a bit of a heavy one to get straight into you know I don't want people I want people don't want them to say you know you didn't ease to this shaken fashion to the Aegean people to the region chef Al Andalus Allah Akbar like what the great companion Sahaba are marked it did you get the pint glass from your local hell yeah from my local this is it people like contaminate it

3:31

with a shall I mix it up whilst people are coming huh let them right now right let's see what was it that soaks it not Musa truth in here kafele give we something along

4:02

those lines people let me just get zoom back into reality what is going on what is coming I see the drink is too kind of like so mean it's in the words of this famous who do poet the rock now me there's actually a mill Cory poet the rock as well that I once had a clip of a close friendship on one of his relative reciting some of his poetry but this in

4:39

order do famous Farokh and so he has in his words that hostak Hilty ITA her name is rock that we came into this his place a mahana is like a wine house a pub I suppose pub doesn't sound as slick as the term Mahana it sounds like super sleek so he says her steak he'll take it Amy honey me rock sharp jab okay toes angie de

5:13

hoagie we came here laughing and in high spirits and after we'd had a drink we got all serious what is going on esta pasando what what's going down people what's coming down tavern aha aasif Jackie said tavern that's a better I suppose heaven rather so what else is what else is going on is there any mention of dinosaurs in the Quran as in

5:52

is a lot dressing the dinosaurs in the Quran like saying that yeah you a dinosaur at the holo walk walk ye Hwa tea masala Wat of course not obviously a lot not gonna address the dinosaurs in the Quran it's that would be a bit hilarious there's a lot speak of them is that what you mean well you see it would have been a bit irrelevant if Allah started speaking about dinosaurs in the Quran because the people of the time would have thought is

6:31

this what I'm talking about like because what what what was it that God was supposed to say like oh by the way what in now who can mimic an obligor that there was that you know from what existed before you Marlowe cotton toka Lula ha dinosaur at there were these creatures we call dinosaur at I mean there would be no relevance for a lot to speak of dinosaurs in the Quran because what what is the like what would a largest say that oh by the way they used to be creatures they existed

7:09

I think people always thought they were creatures that existed so even in the past like from the times even way before the rise of Islam and the rise of Arabia way before that even in the Greek times and the pre-socratic Greeks as well people had found huge like fossils today or me today fossils but they had found bones of certain creatures like let's say the woolly mammoth oh and things like this like certain or whether it was this I don't know like creatures like the saber-tooth Tiger they'd found bones

7:48

teeth skull remnants of certain creatures that they no longer saw around them and they weren't dumb I mean sometimes we get this understanding that everybody before us was just like mmm on this little pond you mode they obviously weren't stupid they figured out that this creature or creature no sea creature or creature oh you know they could they were they were just as

8:27

intelligent as you and me so they knew that many creatures existed before that would have been scary to them today by these standards which their standards were similar to our standards slightly different but similar so yes so they all had some kind of an idea that certain creatures did exist and and you get some of these more fastening writing in there to Farsi that they used to be all these creatures and all Massaro the rights and about how they were all these strange creatures with two heads and all this stuff and even a Kathy writes in his history that they used to be these

9:07

creatures called general Ben gives them this you know that name just just takes away any scary effect like here comes a t-rex and you go oh it's him and the other kind of like I don't know another vicious dinosaur comes along goes and I am Ben and Ben they just don't seem scary anymore it's like you know I supposed to like cheer X Oh Tyrannosaurus Rex hidden and Ben

9:46

obviously sounds a bit so even a Kathy Lee he spoke about the Kathy Spock about these creatures that did exist before called him well Ben but this is how they were figuring it out through remnants of bones through things like this that they were coming across that they could understand that whoa and some of these creatures were obviously huge depending on where they lived in the world and also it's it's it's also quite interesting to note that even Neanderthals I love the the the kind of

10:25

research going on into Neanderthals and Homo neens before us Neanderthals were not as dumb we think they were you know we have this image that Neanderthals were like [Music] they're like another but Neanderthals weren't like that actually in recent observations some Neanderthals shared 99.7% of our DNA so not a hundred percent but as you can see very close incredibly close 99.7 that is bloody close I mean compared to like chimps and

11:04

things like this which will be around the 97% mark so 99% 99.7% now this Neanderthal thing it's really fascinating I was looking into the what are the theories I mean I was once again looking into I mean it's an old topic but what led to their extinction and recent research now seems to because the two popular theories before were that Neanderthals either humans killed him off Homo sapiens killed him off or the other one was that Homo sapiens kind of

11:43

subsumed them they kind of absorbed them into us that so both of these theories I think they have some reality on a on a doozie on a partial effect on a partial level but generally I don't think they led to the extinction of the entire species of Neanderthal and in recent research if you do and there's a lot of documentaries out there now they demonstrate that Neanderthals were much more sophisticated than we thought so first of all Neanderthals had greater brain size than us they had they had I mean I'm not saying they were necessarily more intelligent but that

12:22

theory that they had you know that bigger brains meant more clever or more intelligent he's not true so they had on average something like 2,000 CC cubic centimeters that was the kind of brain size and whereas Homo sapiens 1,700 something around that kind of mark so you've got you can that difference and now an analysis of their weapons their tools like what they used to cut are much stronger than Homo Sapien tools so when they've done comparison in fact there's one investigative study which shows that

13:02

they take these Spears and they use a machine to stab this kind of artificial it's almost like a gelatine block like it stabs it and it can register the kind of power the impact and how through it can get now the Neanderthals Spears would outdo the humankind of the Homo Sapien Spears and the cutting tools would outperform our cutting tools so you can see when they would the the experimenters would hold up hide like leather and they would cut it with the homo sapien kind of tools and Neanderthals now there's some evidence and there's evidence that they

13:40

used some kind of paint that they use this red thing to color themselves and things like this or some low level of art there's hand prints of them found in certain caves in in Spain and other places now they've also found some burial sites which show that they may have had burial which means they may have had some low-level version of religion we know that they're cared for they're sick we know that they saw today sick so you've got bones that have been healed and they could have only been healed if they took care of them so

14:17

things like this now show a lot of new information but what's fascinating is this new theory of the volcanic eruption that led to the extinction about 27 to 30 thousand years ago this a huge volcano going off so powerful are like a super volcano that goes off erupts that really kind of blocks out but not the way the meteorite had done previously but to some extent for a few months the impacts the climate it also poisons the air it poisons the

14:55

water right across Europe so I believe the volcano situated around Italy close to Italy so this went off and led to the extinction of all species including the sapiens that lived in Europe but because Homo sapiens were dispersed they were in Central Asia they were in Middle East they were in Africa they were in Asia they were not rly Australia by that time as well so the human species our species still survived so I think that's really fascinating I thought no not the Pompeii thing that's much recent that's obviously just now

15:35

but we're talking about super Vulcan a volcanic eruption that took place about 27 to 30 thousand years ago right so now right so so I thought I'd share that anyway but that's an interesting theory because the other theory was that we killed them all off I think it would have killed some and the fact that we subsumed them as in we just kept into mingling and mating and intermingling until there were no more Neanderthals they were just us although

16:14

that does sound a bit like the then we basically groomed we groomed the Neanderthals into extinction for God's sake that doesn't really carry off on on that scale although there was definitely some inter breeding so most non-africans today carry anything between one to four percent Neanderthal DNA all right people all right let's move on let's move on people speaking about DNA for God's sake people I got my results share this with

16:53

you guys so I'd sent him off previously to a company that came back and said well you're just South Asian which I thought I sent it to this Indian company that came back and said oh you just from the Punjab region but then I realized somebody told me after I mentioned it on here somebody told me that actually they have very poor database of global statistics and they've reached something like number 48 are out of 50 website so you want to try like the top 5 so there was a website my heritage so I uploaded my DNA into that

17:32

there the data file and they gave the results people people brace yourselves right so it came back with some interesting finds it said well 75% was from around the modern day Pakistan area so so 75% it confirmed he said TK you're from Pakistan 75% right nothing shocking there but it said 13.5 percent which I was like 13.5 percent I said was of

18:12

between in listed the three Irish Scottish and Welsh I was like huh I've gotta look into my yeah what boot has been going on with the ancestry and it said about 10.5% was Central Asian so about like Turkey Iran whatever Central Asia so that was the least of them all so I was thinking what the hell is that about so then I thought of course it must have been the goddamn East India

18:48

Company in India that one must have been I mean that's what it must have been imprisonment it must have been the bloody how else would this part of the world get over there so I suppose they were there for about three hundred years so obviously kuch toh chucker Shailaja they must have been something back there some way but anyway I thought out so I it's actually quite fascinating I think you guys should check out some of these places and do them and and it's it's quite you know and it's actually set me on a trail to uncover a lot more

19:28

about my own personal family tree and everything and I've been writing down all these extra names and finding out the lineage and everything it's just personal journey but but amazing and I encourage you all to do that inshallah right so what's going on people yes somebody said during the East India Company yep so I don't know so it must have been presumably one of the women folk that got pregnant presumably because if it was the men then the woman would have been elsewhere but obviously for it to carry on it must have been one of the so I don't know what that naughty-naughty back hundreds of years

20:06

ago in the lineage but but I guess something must have happened so what else is going on people what else what have we so speaking of the naughty naughty we've got and speaking of the naughty naughty women we've got Shamima Begum people Shamima Begum so what are our thoughts on Shemesh mama Begum wanting to come back to the now she's sitting in some camp I want to go

20:44

back to UK so and the news has come in just today breaking news buzz up 13 harbour that the UK have revoked her citizenship you care like jump armada mud hey like you can you can do one in other words so she's been left stranded people so what are our thoughts on this

21:20

so personally I think we drink is that us a drink the bonfire so I think my thoughts my thoughts are exactly the same Parma died she can go to hell as far as I'm concerned right she is a joke right absolute joke people no remorse no kind of like regret she's gone off to join

22:00

vicious butchers and and in Harrington I mean I'll come to our interview but I want to remind people something you know some people are seeing a picture of like a Muslim girl and they are identifying so they're thinking like oh oh that could be you know like like let's say you know women folk around you girls around you Muslim girls I'm making it sound like some kind of harem over yellow of Muslim girls no but I mean generally the girls around you that you may personally know and you're identifying whether it's the guys or

22:39

some of the girls are personally identifying and they thinking AHA you know oh well she was young and she went and she got groomed and I wanna just stop people write down bars press the pause button I don't say no no no no no no no this good-for-nothing she is somebody first to make this very clear she openly betrayed Allah and His

23:15

Messenger she has insulted them insulted God and His Messenger by going to kill primarily Muslims they went over there to butcher Muslims because according to them the vast majority of the Muslims are all cafe ups there were all hypocrites according to them we were all carbs right and we just happened to be in a different geopolitical arenal position if we were all with they would have unquestionably beheaded us there's no two ways about that by the time she went there the headings had

23:55

already taken place the propaganda was out there the problem the beheadings began in I think 2014 right and the ISIS propaganda she was well away of what she was doing and under her while she was there she says I saw a head cut off thrown in a bin I saw every know my husband would tell me about executions taking place on a daily basis X loss of this is loss of life people people are being massacred whilst they relish in this stupid fantasy of some

24:33

kind of caliphate that they're setting up on the blood and skulls of innocent victims beginning the first thing they executed is the honour of Islam they through God and His Messenger under the bus to begin with these people deserve zero zero compassion right from any faith perspective if there's a legal argument that's separate that's a legal argument for could have she returned or not but as far as a faith perspective is concerned these people were content they

25:12

relish they were happy they took delight in the murdering butcher butchering of innocent people many of whom most of whom were Muslims so have no compassion from that perspective about these people they knew very well what they were doing I'm glad she has not come back to this country because I mean first of all then there was the legal argument okay so that's just a religious thing I want her to clear up right so somebody said look let me get this right they don't deserve mercy because they betrayed the religion no

25:48

look mercy from God take it let them let them have mercy from God I'm not saying I'm not stopping Who am I to stop God I can't stop the mercy of God but should we show them mercy no these people if there's no if the tables were turned when the tables were turned what butchering they were butchering killing beheading executing destroying this Dean we have as far as a faith perspective we have no compassion we do not go out of our way I'm not saying I'm not saying executors I'm against it

26:27

capital punishment I'm not saying executors but so I'm not saying to do harm to her like that she has already met her own fate she went there in hope of some ridiculous satanic concept of some global Dominion that they will establish in in the name of some Caliphate and they've met their fate this is it this was their fate I mean she's in a refugee camp cool she chose it you know God never picked her up and threw her in some refugee camp

27:03

she got up and went there so why should people pay for her to come back why why shouldn't other Muslims be victimized because of Hilla if she came back I tell you what would have happened is it would have empowered the far-right to say ah so we haven't got money for our kids and this and this and this but we've got money for extremist terrorists to feed and clothe them if she came back the backlash on every common Muslim would have been an

27:42

actual reality it's not something like oh you know it would have been the situation in the UK is tense brixi is a mess the government here shouldn't be trying to bring back terrorists into this country what the hell for she is first and foremost our enemy right she's the type of person I mean she and anybody of her ilk that went over there to kill innocent people these people if he dehydrated do not deserve to be urinated on I'm telling you these people deserve

28:20

they first and foremost are the enemies of God and His Messenger so from a religious perspective we do not do them no favors that's as far I'm not saying you persecute them now like I'm not saying bomb her or shoot her or anything but I'm saying let her be where she is she's in some camp let us stay there that's her choice she can do whatever she wants now I hope she's found what she went for you know and this is exactly what a loved one them in the Quran but they will find what they've gone to seeking and this is their you know how do they feel now that

28:59

you know some ridiculous concept that we're gonna take over the world and Millia so have no compassion do not argue the course that's what I would say yes there was a slight legal argument I acknowledge that there was a legal argument in the sense that she there was this there was the argument that she was a under 18 when she left so you know because of naivety and because of being what she groomed or not or take groomed isn't the right word but did she have

29:38

advantage taken off her and she wasn't a full adult so there was some legal argument and I acknowledge that as a legal argument not as a religious kind of compassionate argument but as a legal argument but then in contrast with that look Hara attitude now her attitude was one of no regret she said I do know on TV she said I don't regret joining Isis and look at what she said she said oh why does mr.

30:05

Sajid Javid think that I am a threat I don't have any weapons and check this out she said and even if I do have weapons that was her words she said that even if I'd had weapons why would I use them because you've got that member of Isis you think you think good for nothing what do you mean why because your Isis you know then they say these ways of course you can what do you mean why would I use them you'd use them because he hurt nutcase terrorists what

30:43

else and so yes there was a little legal argument and she could have been brought back and I accept this legal argument and as soon as she came back she would have spent her life in jail there was that legal argument but then to be fair the government would have had to pay for her bring her here pay for a living pay for her cost of accommodation in prison pay for a supervision her medical costs they would have had to pay for and this would have then evoked a kind of a backlash from the far right and the the

31:20

kind of disenfranchised people of the British public so the general muscle ha I think overruled that one tiny muscle how the legal argument so I agree with the home what the what the government the decision they've taken I think he'll yeah right yeah you know it's like oh look ask but that the Abu Bakr al-baghdadi ask him for some help

31:54

right so she was groomed by Isis she wasn't groomed by Isis man she knew exactly what she was doing she you know what I don't buy into this the propaganda was out there they will beheading people they were doing things she knew that she I wonder where her friends are by the way they have an austere we were because there were three of the girls that left so what if most eat what is mostly talking about right now I'm talking about Shamima Jemima Begum right right views on rather to okay so I think that's her covered

32:31

right so she's we have a decision she's declared stateless but you know what in a way the irony is that these extremists don't believe in the concept of nation-states so her being declared stateless it kind of correlates with her beliefs and this is why I you know I condemn any of these extremist groups that don't go that full way but they lend some legitimacy to these people people groups like his Bertha Harriet these kind of groups that

33:09

are against aids and speak of global dominion and we need a global Caliphate and things like this you have to be very weary because these are like these groups are like the grooming process for that so you know you get onto these groups you start having a hatred for people you think that no nation-state is legitimate in the world all law is illegitimate in the world every we live in the land of war you see and then you're just a step away the next step is well since we live in dar al-harb naturally these are enemy combatants these are horribly young and therefore

33:47

we are at war with them so this is why I have no sympathy for groups like that either and if any of your family members are influenced by them I would advise you to really do your best to kind of salvage the situation to to kind of bring especially the younger people bring them back from this kind of a concept don't let them get and I've said this whole thing about Khilafah is honestly it's it's a myth okay there's no such thing as Khalifa and I've mentioned that even this word Khilafah that comes in all these hadees is made up afterwards because the word Halawa in

34:26

the time of the arabs wasn't used with this concept it wasn't used to mean rulership so how could the Prophet be using this word in a hadith when the word didn't mean that in his time he laughs I just meant something that came after he didn't mean in any kind of in like this voice turn toward deputy role or this is a political understanding that emerges in the time of a worker or the along so in the prophet's time it didn't even exist so how could the Prophet be speaking about it or people who wouldn't understand it so this is a very important question that this concept

35:05

couldn't have existed in his time the Prophet could have used that word the Arabs knew kings they had me look and they had the term bullet Wiley's they had the term amara they had the terms not even Aqaba they had these kind of terms but they never had this term of Khalifa and ha'la'tha this is a post islamic part of the culture as Islamic kingdoms emerge they came up with these words so the Prophet couldn't have been speaking like that that's like if you get you know if we get a something from I don't know you're reading up something by you could be reading anything

35:44

something by Abraham Lincoln speaking about mobile phones if he's using the word mobile he can't be using mobile to mean mobile phone because mobile phones don't exist in his time so nobody would understand what he's on about so the Prophet can't be using the word Halawa to mean that so that means he never used these words so either this Hadi oh these hadith that you have on Halawa are either people reinterpreting them and putting them in or they entirely made up just to serve the kings of the early like the hadith in Bukhari they will be twelve Halawa after me twelve of

36:23

bani umeå right this is ridiculous this hadith cannot exist because the Prophet couldn't be speaking like that because then the Companions even when they came up with the word Holly firfer Abu Bakr they came up with it they didn't even know they said how about we use the word Khalifa if the Prophet had been teaching them they ought to say yes the Prophet has already told us about this we will be using the words he taught us he taught us the word Khalifa we will be using the word holy they actually use different words first they said amede then they said how about we call you Khalifa so this is all a made-up myth

37:01

and it's done to kind of give Muslims to des some kind of false nostalgia and false hope that the reason we're suffering is because we haven't got a caliphate if we had a Caliphate everything would be rosy and you know it'd be dandy and everything would be brilliant and the truth oh sorry about that people have had to go live again I'm gonna have to share that again momento momento all right I had to let me just share

37:40

that again right back to I don't know what it was it just frozen I couldn't really see any more comment so I thought rather than risking it let's just I'll just put that on their pot to toast I'm just sharing it again so people know

38:14

right okay so let's take some of the questions people what's going on locked in from New Zealand a Louis Allen a long silent people along was saddened right so what else has been going on this week some interesting things I wanted to I had a madrasah reunion I have with some of the the guys from where I studied in Karachi Pakistan it been quite a while some of them I hadn't met for maybe I don't know like 17 years

38:51

something like that so they came down we had a meet-up in London that was pretty fun actually it was good to meet some guys we had chef Ferran Nayeem who's the son of the of Mufti 9 from Geneva nuria and he was speaking of the great projects they've got going in Germany of Nouri so I was really impressed actually because the upgrading the whole mother I saw too University status and the kind of modernizing the elements that are needed they're trying to bring in more diversity they're trying to they're

39:28

trying to bring in more breadth to the curriculum the introducing certain subjects so they did ask so we had a dialogue and he was was asking for some ideas I did say that I think I think it's imperative that one that they introduced critical thought Studies okay so critical studies that how how should we approach things how to be critical and and classes on that so although they're I think a bit away from that because you gotta remember the whole beginning is from a mother of some mentality but still that's and I said I

40:08

think it's important that they should teach and they should teach or do other like poetry and poets and the lives of poets and things like this what do you think people the lives of so he said yes of course people like a llama well I said allama iqbal is great you know Mike Molly's a legend he's great but a llama Kyle is a like a revolutionary very strong character like that you know he's he's good the a'lamin like him anyway but i said what about the other what

40:45

about Harley what about the dawn me lucky me Oh in his words of so stung Camille's a sore but nailing that's the legend people meet that we meet so he has a poem which that is a part of the caja peda hoodie he is a Parran ganda tebah look so that would means like some you know these kind of strange wonders these people that are just so that are unique that we're are such people born and he

41:23

says of source don't go me say so but namely that it's a shame that you no longer have the company of people like me Allah what a legend people what a legend that's what I will say so what else are we looking at I want to take a look at a hadith a little later on this hadith of somebody that came to the prophet and said I want to commit zina will you allow for me and the Prophet said will you allow if would

42:00

you be would you would you be happy with your mother doing that so I want to speak on that hadith is it a legitimate hadith and the discussion around that we'll go into that though but first of all let's take some of your questions mara you can Gibran I was and Gibran Khalil Gibran we shared a room I think Gibran Khalil Gibran musti's internet connection is Shaker than sham I'm as pension plans the shocking thing is my internet connection in Birmingham in the

42:38

Midlands in the heart of England right is being is shaking right despite it being on the the most reliable and yet these people in Raqqa in some caves can make the latest digitalized videos and they can they've got the best internet hacks I'm starting to see why Shamima went they after all she goes well on the bright side at least there'll be no buffering as soon as you say no buffering there's all these guys going

43:14

whoa wait a minute no buffering quick guys let's go so that's how they got them I've said motya Rahman is asking on Gibran Khalil Gibran I think Gibran Khalil Gibran is an amazing poet obviously I mean poet read from in this last area you're not gonna get so many amazing people you will have Gibran Khalil Gibran you will have other people like Atma Choki Choki is pretty

43:50

good as well there was a line of his that I remember I once made us a stamp you know in my early days Allah you know back in the days when I was in Damascus studying so that late nineties people so before I was leaving to go to Pakistan so I had this stamp made out of a poem ah the things we do so it was a poem of i'ma show please I believe that where he said what is it

44:29

well my navel matali be betta money while a Quinta da cunha la ba la he said that you that you don't or man a little math a little bit like you don't get what you don't achieve your goals by just desiring them rather you have to seize the world but I thought that was an amazing line I actually had to I made it out as a stamp there are poor my books or my nail Mali we betta money

45:07

well a Quinta da cunha I'm a trying to ask that what are your main issues with salafiyyah replying to Chris good question what Chris is good question what is your problem Sabah that would Qureshi says what is your problem with Wahabis um do I have a problem with Wahabis I I don't do you have a favourite child I think other people think I have a favorite child

45:46

I don't think to me they're both adorable two daughters that I that I own up to you but so Leila who's seven and Zahra who's four so I think to me they are both adorable in their own ways but people feel sometimes I'm a favor Leila I don't know why they think that I suppose they think that because of the the bond I've had me there because she was born first and things like this I don't I mean I and because she's older I suppose as in she's only seven but still she's older so sometimes she'll talk in

46:24

such a sensible way and I'll talk but I don't really it to me I don't feel that I'm showing any kind of favoritism but sometimes I've had people say that to me oh you know like all the way you'll tell off the other one you know why don't you tell you know you never tell they laugh like that but that's not true it's just the other one there's so much mischief she breaks everything so haha so unfortunately taken after my personality the other one has so right let's see some of these questions somebody's asked Salaam Mufti I heard you said one time

47:03

the al-kafi was some kind of an expert sculptor is this true that is true amount curavi was unique in making these kind of small figurines and statues and stuff like this and I need to have them and I've read out a quote where he's speaking about certain he's praising them and saying wow I went to this place and this guy had made this and some that he had made and how expert they were and what they could do and everything so he was yeah very much into that but that's a side of that's a side of our skull is

47:42

that unfortunately people don't show somebody's asked do you watch The Punisher I watched a bit of The Punisher season one but then you know after a while it just when you're into it you're into it but then you kind of like mMmmm it's not really here it's not really all I kind of like lost interest afterwards respected Mufti saw how do you like to be dressed how do you like to be undressed huh you naughty naughty easily from from here top down huh a cha-cha-cha

48:20

addressed I think dressed up cha-cha-cha good thing I caught that otherwise do you watch Game of Thrones are they any new episodes or what's your opinion on attending musical concerts do you consider them different to going to cinema I mean there's nothing wrong with going to cinema what's wrong with going to cinema I mean why would going to see them I'll be a harem unless it's that kind of a cinema unless you're going to do the naughty naughty image oh it is something else of course that's a

48:59

separate issue you could be doing that anyway but this going to a cinema is to watch a movie Musti don't you play any video games a lot of interesting personal questions I have an arcade machine which has retro games like from the 80s and 90s like so it has like very old games like pac-man and all those old really old games and it's got right up to like Street Fighter and all the different additions to audition and whatnot and games like Rambo and all that scan but they're nothing like the

49:39

computer games that kids play today I would honestly I I suppose I'm a would have probably played computer games if I knew how to I don't know how to play the contemporary games and I just don't have the interest to learn because it's they seem so complicated it's like you got to learn it it's like seasons it's not just like like I mean if I didn't want to play let's say those kind of arcade I bought that more I've got the arcade machine here actually in my multi cave I bought it more just out of you know cello to scar just sky vast just God you know it's and it's fun and sometimes I played

50:17

like the old spaceship games and stuff like this and but it's these are just like a quick game and you're done but these kind of games that kids play today I don't even know how they've told me this you got to memorize everything and you gotta you gotta live the game and you got it it goes on and Wow I mean I don't know I haven't got the I'm not that interested to learn I suppose if I was that if I was so keen I would learn but I'm not that interesting but it's not simple enough to do it either you know let's like let me remind you let me tell you an an allegory of this

50:55

hadith the way the Prophet SAW Allah I live someone gives a story where he's speaking of an allegory and he says that he says it it's like Kalama dying what is it what's the word in the hadith but it's like the meat of a bird but the bird is frail allow Roxie javelin Wow at the top of a very kind of difficult terrain mounting on the top of that lesson for tapa what has a meaning for

51:33

you that's in the words of a hadith that the meat like the mountain isn't easy that you climb up there and even if you did the meat wasn't so much that you take it away so it's like it's for those I suppose who are into it who's your personal favorite poet I love so many poets honestly especially the earth - I mean I love poetry no even in Arabic I love poems by Watanabe I love poem mutton appease is a legendary in in

52:10

poetry you couldn't and he has yes a diverse range a lot of them he does praised safe with though Lani can't get a bit you know banal it gets a bit boring sometimes when he's just praising Seifert oh let the king of his time but this other you know you speak about you'll speak about other things he'll speak about Allah and speak about knowledge you'll speak about romance Ramon Ramon seal everyone well what's his he has this killer line that were marking to me yet whole Elijah Alba whole that I was not from those people

52:48

who love would easily into their heart I wasn't from those those that category of people lacking me absurd you fool Nakia he said but anybody who sees your eyes has I mean they helpless except to love I am gonna beat button up he was in his time but not enough being Arabic this loads in Arabic there's loads of poets I

53:25

will know us the legend there's yes but in order to I love the order poets starring with me and whether it's gonna be so many of them you know dog so hardly Bobby Slee the dawn the legend he can't obviously love Mike balls cool but llama quails like a nice good case a good person you know he's like he's not that corrupt I mean he's not corrupt right the others are weaker update the right word but you know like sometimes you see when you listening to poetry you don't want it to

54:05

be all about always about revolution and all this kind of stuff I mean that's good as well sometimes you want you know you want the niceties in life you know you want a bit of the bit of the naughty naughty in the poetry so it's so it's good so the other poets are like that there are a lot more here recently yoga Ahmed for us his poetry saw there's a deity la saga Siddiqui people Joanie Leah loads man these are so many

54:38

inner to the the this there's one of ahmed for hasta reading again the other day where he says was it aunt said door Naju they'll say what are jaga that don't go like you know out of sight out out of mind don't go too far out of sight lest you

55:15

fall or you disappear from my heart that anck-su-namun deal say utter jaga vodka keahi guzar tahe coos our child that he said that what you know don't worry about time it's it's made to pass like time will just pass vodka keahak user tahi juicer jaga doc Kamakahi for us that he says his final lining is zapped la seems up teas to control control

55:52

zapped l-'azim hair mugger doc Tiamat Kai for us that he says that we must control ourselves but the pain is uncontrollable zalem up cabina Vega to merge I that that's that he saved himself that if now you don't let out with crop with tears and crying if this will be the death of you that you have to at some point let it let it go or do poetry I totally love it right so what

56:31

else is going on people and I I have to say I'm I feel it's such a shame that Islamic scholarship in the indo-pak world has left or do other either because I think either because they feel that these poets were mainly from India and we're not going to be a part of like what are they to do with us because we're in Pakistan and if that be the case then I think that's deeply disappointing all the other reason that they think that these people weren't that religious so they've left them and even if that's then I think it's still very

57:08

embarrassing that you left this amazing reservoir of literature because of being judgmental so I think really all the poetry is something that they should people should really look into especially in that part of the world so that's my thoughts so what else is going on right right all right all right Liz Liz people hahaha you know earlier on I was haven't fully announced the story yet but I'll

57:46

announce it in time but Liz when I mentioned earlier on about the DNA thing and I said that I had gone on and got some feedback so I've been reconnected with with and aren't people and that is Liz who is in the house today Alice Alan welcome listen I'll speak more about that later on but I thought since I just saw lives in the house amazing what this what DNA does nowadays so it and lisas from Island by the way so she's all Irish I'm not all but

58:23

obviously it links up with my with my gramps along the way but I'll speak more about that later on in another one in another forthcoming inshallah episode but I thought that's amazing how today people can reconnect through things like science it's just amazing so yep so welcome welcome Liz Alice Allen can you what's morally can you explain rupees Sidney Elmen so Robbie Sidney Elmen is a Dora it's a

59:01

prayer in the in the Quran and it simply means that increase me in knowledge the lord increase me in knowledge entick is it Mossad reliable see the thing with the Sierra of the profit is that really none of those classical Sierra's to justice in the way we would want it today because you have to understand that they had a totally a total like their methodology of what they were trying to do is very different to what you're trying to do today so today you would like to read let's say the Sierra which means the biography of the Prophet now you want to

59:39

read this as a narrative as a story you want to read like okay he was a prophet he was born and raised and this is who he was and this is his name he is an incident from his childhood and here he grew up and he redid that now those Sierra's that were documented back like really far back just first 100 years after the Prophet 150 years two hundred years after the Prophet those people didn't have that viewpoint in mind they were simply documenting just narrations whatever they could get hold of one they weren't even too fussed whether the narrations were authentic

1:00:18

this brings a huge this causes a problem on a cataclysmic scale really because they they throw in all kinds which raised more questions than answers them and then neither is it a narrative that flows so it's not a story that you're gonna read you're just gonna read like the event an event an event it's like it's us documents doc it's like going through archives it's not actually like a story so you're better off reading today things that have been written by maybe contemporary people for contemporary people that have leaned in

1:00:57

on prior sources I think that's what I would recommend more I know chef Hamza Yusuf has something on the Sira of the Prophet I think maybe go through something like that I haven't actually been through the whole thing I think yeah links has he it's it's just cool Muhammad I think that's all it's called links biography of the Prophet I think that's that's good but I would definitely contemporary sources as opposed to going something so archaic it wouldn't really make too much sense

1:01:34

do you consider pork gelatine to have gone through his day holla in food right okay term somebody's sorry somebody's mentioned here that the best Syrah available in English today is a compendium of sources on the prophetic narrative by Samira azide I'm not sure I haven't read that but sure by all means you can check it out people pork gelatine do I consider it to have gone through Easter challah in food making a permissible to eat

1:02:13

I do think pork gelatine I think all gelatine I've got a detailed clip on YouTube or a monstering about gelatine I do believe that all gelatine is consolidometer biddin and the reason there's a number of things that go into that one is that including pork it mainly rests on the concept what is called in arabic esta challah which means that such a chemical decomposition a breakdown of the structures that it changes that it's a different entity so

1:02:50

it's like how alcohol becomes vinegar it just it has a very similar molecular structure but with subtle changes to the molecular body it becomes a different entity so in a similar way things like gelatine although they are there there is beef gelatine this plant sources as well but there is pork gelatine as well but this the kind of breakdown is that immense that I no longer this isn't just me this is many Olimar that I've said things like this and I go through the whole breakdown I mentioned people from the past that

1:03:29

speak about this how from the hanafi madhhab Abu Yussef how even abdel hakim and i speak up from the Malik year I believe Marge is shown from the and other people that spoke of these and there's a whole there's a greater argument to it as well things like a lot of the certain extracts from bones weren't considered haram anyway and and there's a whole detailed debate that I go through not only way to a discussion and a discourse that is on YouTube you can check that out but to keep it brief yes I feel that it's not Haram I'm not saying you need to take it I'm not saying you have to or you should if you

1:04:06

don't feel comfortable with with gelatine then by all means you can avoid it but if you want you to take it you can it's not Haram right all right Emmy King colleague masha'Allah Avril sugar and sugar and those of you tuning in remember to click like share what's that and he say sleeps one or two twelve that I've heard it means all right okay I can't understand that question so we can eat starbursts

1:04:43

with no guilt no guilt people Islam never really ought to have any guilt anyway this guilt thing isn't really part of the Islamic tradition although it does exist today but it's not see let me give you an example people if you travel let's say the Muslim world you will find in many places Islam as it stands today so let's say you travel there's probably about what 50 Muslim countries in the world today if you go through them you would see many things like like done up graves for example many people going to the graves a lot of

1:05:22

grave related rituals you will see people going to these data bars they will seek repentance from the or seek assistance they will go there and make offerings they will this is very common I mean you wouldn't dispute that it's very common yet in authentic Islam like none of these things actually exist in fact it's actually frowns upon these ideas of asking the dead to do things for you and stuff like this and only God all capable and all-powerful and all giving and but yet if you travel the Muslim world you would think well this

1:06:00

is so common it can't be that all these people have got it wrong so it's it's not about like what I'm trying to do is show you that you see you know these people make an easy assumption sometimes they said they think well how can it be that you know you're saying this and how can it be that all these people are like that so how can they be wrong it's not about them being wrong but it's about the authentic traditions were not like that that's all I'm saying but yes this is prevalent today and the example of like the the grave culture that kind of you know like going to the Dead and asking the Dead for help making

1:06:39

offerings to graves or having doing up these kind of graves of the saints and all of this stuff is almost commonplace in almost all most every single Muslim country by much the majority so if one travel they would think this is definitely authentic Islam but it isn't so in the same way when I say certain things and it comes as a shock it's because I'm kind of just speaking about the original sources and what the authentic message actually was so Islam didn't in essence have this kind of guilt culture I didn't have this thing

1:07:18

of oh we should be guilty and we should feel guilty about sins and stuff like this although today that is your right that is the kind of if you go around the world that's how you people will behave in that way and I think some of that was picked up by the judeo-christian from the judeo-christian tradition and kind of tran transported into Islam as well do you believe the graves being desecrated in general but he was correct

1:07:51

mentioned prophet himself visiting the great yes I'm not saying that there were no graves in the time of the Prophet I think somebody misunderstood my point what I'm trying to say is there's a very folklore this folklore Islam there's like a folkloric Islam that is common everywhere right throughout the Muslim world and I'm just trying to show you that that the truth isn't necessarily democratic it isn't something that oh how can all these people be on this therefore it must be the authentic reading of something it's not I'm not trying to pick on that culture and trying to condemn it what I'm trying to do is give an analogy in saying like

1:08:30

when I say these things and people sometimes say well you're saying it but how come all these other people are not saying do i I didn't right now do I agree with the graves that were desecrated in general between I don't agree with that no so what what it was was during the ottoman era the graves in outside of medina which is now inside medina city they were all kind of done up a lot of them like mausoleums and stuff like this and so the width the whole rise of the Wahhabi kind of movement they did break down all the graves I you see i I'm against the

1:09:08

desecration desecrating them although I'm not for doing up this whole kind of graves see the problem with the grave culture is that it's a culture of superstition and I'm against superstitions I don't agree with I think the voice of reason cannot accept they to be superstitions so and I think Islam inherently is profoundly against superstition in its authentic teaching I mean today obviously it's in its folkloric perception it's it's superstitious if you look at Islam today he appears to be a superstitious

1:09:47

religion but it's not it's actually very anti superstition but so that's why I'm against making up and doing these kind of gray you know this whole almost like a worship area around saintly graves and things like this but if they were already made how do you deal with it so I wouldn't agree with just lets us go and break everything and demolish thing because it's going to cause a lot of hurt to a lot of people and and that has to be taken into consideration so I wouldn't agree with desecrating them and things like this superstition is a

1:10:27

culture centric problem I totally agree Oh stars Waseem Hussein is in the house Alice Allen was Seema saying an enormous island so what's the point of tall life there is no guilt towba is repentance you see there's two things here people you see that there is a sense of remorse in Islam that does exist I'm not saying that there's no remorse no regret in Islam the concept of regret does exist so when the story of Abel and Cain is related in the Quran and the brother kills the other brother it does mention for Ozma

1:11:05

Haman and natty mean and then he became regretful over what he did Allah is showing that story as an action as a kind of story to demonstrate regret regret does exist it's a human condition I'm speaking about this burden of guilt this kind of psychological like I have sinned and I'm a kiltie person and carrying that kind of guilt and and this is not authentically Islamic although today it is commonplace amongst Muslims this we are guilty people and we are sinful and being this kind of like I

1:11:42

think it just depresses people that was my point not on the the concept of [Music] remorse and regret so if you've done something wrong and trying to make amends that's what toboe was about and hence the word Toba in arabic meant to return tarbiyyat Ubu to come back so it meant that if you've done something wrong you came back and made amends for what you've done right why shrine people what the why shrine people on on weed and Chavez I don't understand

1:12:21

what the question is mostly what is the meaning of the knock since we return Falak is it not to do with black magic no people I've said this time and time again and I've got a detailed video on this that look there is no such thing as magic okay there is no such thing as demonic possessions these things are all superstition and part of a cultural superstition but let me explain know what I'll give a few words I've got a very detailed video you can watch it it's on YouTube and I've got one whole

1:13:00

course that I do side by side with Chef Akram Natalie from Oxford on that and it's on YouTube but just to kind of write just to kind of give you some brief description you see Magic okay when we say magic exists like the Quran speaks of some magic or the people in the past folk of magic now magic yes right but what did they mean so far Adina Rosie if not show these great morpha serum these people who've done commentaries on the Quran they highlight that look these three kinds of magic that they accept it now using the word

1:13:40

magic today for them doesn't really make too much sense but once you read their definitions you think oh well oh right here will that make sense so they say one category is like mind control so it's like what today they will call hypnosis right so this is something that they would have called magic in the past like you prime somebody use tactics techniques to kind of control them now this yes of course this this this exists and that did exist and that's fine so that we don't have a problem if you want to call that magic fine today they have

1:14:19

other words for it but if that's what you mean by magic than that yes that does exist you can prime people advertising companies do it all the time you can use psychological techniques to gain advantage over people you can do all of these things and that's true the second if nourisher writes in his great tafseera theory rotten weed is using potions now buy potions it is the equivalent of chemicals today so there are certain things like like so for example that are naturally found today you could buy drugs so let's say today for example somebody administered LSD or

1:14:56

they administer DMT they gave you you would have in fact they call DMT the spirit the spirit molecule you would have a whole spiritual kind of like an awakening now whether it was things as powerful as this you know tryptamines and things like this or other things in the past like if you had let's say lithium which is naturally found and lithium is a mood stabilizer now imagine somebody like in the past let's say somebody had mood issues and you went to some magician and he said well here take this and this contained natural elements of lithium now that would stabilize

1:15:34

their mood and he said this is a special water or and I've done this to it now to you that would be magic but there is an explanation to it so that that is true and things like aphrodisiacs were used so obviously in the past people would say oh you know sexual issues oh my husband isn't interested in me or this isn't and they would administer these kind of potions and the books are full of them you know you've got these books like if you read the scholarly books they speak about Oh their version of Viagra they've got they go on about these kind of things and they wrote books dedicated to them believe in him I

1:16:13

mean it was a big deal back then so they have their natural version of them and so to those people it was like magic and the Third Kind is which is like magic tricks today like using card tricks or pulling a rabbit out of a hat or doing things like this so it is magic but it's deceiving the eyes so it's like slate of hand and so that you can call that magic but it's not really happening when a person pulls a rabbit out of a hat there's a trick to it there's an art to it so people when the great Indian rope trick when they would climb up a rope in the air there was a trick to it so yes these

1:16:51

things were magic but beyond that magic didn't exist it didn't exist as a true entity right so you have to understand that and and this is just unfortunately many Muslims believe in things like black magic and it's stupid it's like embarrassing it's people will tell you you know the amount of people I've spoken to that will say to me oh that they've had their relationship has broken down and when you ask them they

1:17:20

will say oh it's because of magic black magic right so it's not you know oh it's because of the evil eye the evil eye these things are all medieval folklore people they have no basis in Islam they either it's just come through superstition or it's just based on weak hadith and yes some scholars in the past did accept them and I accept that but that's because they had no other

1:17:58

explanation for certain things so in the past when somebody had something like multiple personality disorder what they call today dissociative identity disorder or they had split personalities to a person 700 years ago he would probably think okay that's a demonic possession but that's because he doesn't know how else to explain it but today we have some explanations what about the Prophet Zachariah as a career Lee salams time when there was magic what there was no magic in his time either most II

1:18:37

Sahib if one was to make Heydrich today what would be the best place to relegate behave hydra hydra is the concept of you and the islamic obligatory migration there is no Hejira okay there's a hadith in Bukhari law he taught about alpha the Prophet said that there is no Hedra after the conquest of Mecca in his time in the prophets time 1400 years ago there is no mandatory migration people by all means if you want to if a person wants to travel if they want to relocate I mean you have the freedom of movement

1:19:16

freedom under in Islam you have no prohibition if you want to get up and go to America get up and go to Pakistan get up and go to Saudi Arabia Egypt or Morocco Turkey you can do that but there's no Islamic requirement to do so and it's ridiculous thinking that you know people had this belief that all we should Muslims shouldn't live in non-muslim lands that is stupid it has no basis in Islam and Islam is for the whole world like Muslims wherever they are in the world people were over there on the wall Islam is for them as well it's not just what Arabia so in that case everybody should have just stayed

1:19:55

in Arabia why would the Companions go out and try to take Islam to in different parts of the world if it wasn't for the whole of the world it was for anybody so we shouldn't really have this this kind of this is the this understanding that all people should migrate to Muslim territories I mean that's a very twisted way of thinking I'll do your what's this you reckon Jesus had an out-of-body experience before crucifixion right somebody asked me what do we believe about the Jesus crucifixion now okay

1:20:35

Jesus alayhis-salam in our understanding according to Islam Mayan right everybody accepts that he Muslims generally believe he didn't die on the cross this is the Muslim understanding okay so the Quran says oh ma patello avoid Co masala boohoo oh macha oh macha telugu masala boohoo well a key should be along that they did not kill him and they had not crucified him but it appeared to be so to them and this is what the verses of the Quran say

1:21:10

now after that they disagree Muslims do some Muslims feel Jesus was never ever put on the cross to start off with that they got it wrong and they put somebody else on the cross to me that's a weak understanding but many Muslims do believe that as well so the point they agree on all Muslims agree on that he didn't die on the cross and he wasn't so that's the point that all Muslims are unanimous on they disagree up to that point so some say he was never put on the cross to begin with others feel that he was put on the cross

1:21:49

but he just didn't die on the cross and that's the understanding that I would go with that I would feel that Jesus Christ was put on the cross but they didn't successfully crucify him so when the verse says war masala boohoo meaning they didn't crucify him as in successfully because to crucify somebody meant to execute them through crucifixion but you see the way crucifixion worked was Romans I mean one of the that was actually a reserved punishment generally for either insurgents or their versions of

1:22:29

terrorists in that day and age it wasn't a punishment for anybody and it's a Mis translation through biblical sources that the people on the cross with Jesus were thieves although they may have been thieves as well but they were actually what would call today like you see in the past what they would translate sometimes as highway robbers but the highway robbers were not just fees it was the fact that they would terrorize the whole town's so even in the Koran when he speaks of highway robbery as

1:23:07

such a great crime it doesn't speak of robbery as such a great I mean he speaks of it as a crime but not in the same way because the you see in that day and age there were only certain paths that led out of a town and you would terrorize an entire region by by cutting off that root to them so it was held in equivalent with today what we would call like sedition and and insurgencies and things like this and hence they were on the cross as well with Jesus so Jesus when he's put on a cross on the cross on the Friday he has to be taken

1:23:44

down before sunset before mockery because the Jews weren't allowed to be killing people on the Sabbath so so normally somebody would be left to hang on the cross for several days before he would die and you wouldn't die as you think you'd actually die by because you're by the way you were actually hung up it would actually lead to compression of the lungs that you would actually eventually suffocate and die it's not actually what people some people think you died on the cross because you know maybe no water or things like this no it's actually because you're the way you're hanging and you're trying to hold

1:24:21

up your weight your lungs eventually just collapse on themselves and you die of asphyxiation and things like this so Jesus had to be taken down the same day so it makes sense that he didn't actually wasn't actually dead when they took him off and I know the Romans the the soldier pierced his lung to see if blood would come out and said oh yeah that's enough take him down so that's my understanding right all right people what is what's this restart talk going on fro deep robbery saying Abu Anaya I

1:24:58

need a restart too huh matchmaking going on alright people are ah what's this how come Jesus his messengers victorious walls humiliated on the cross that's not victory that's utter humiliation mother Lu biet the Quran says Allah has decreed verily it is I oh right is that the Avila banana Rosalie that indeed we will overcome right you see that's a good question when Allah says in the Quran Allah

1:25:37

when I know Italy that we will overcome what is it that will overcome about Jesus was it him as a person he will overcome all the people that clearly didn't happen but his message did his message was successful his mission that he came for to a great extent was very I mean it is you know the leading religion in the world today second I mean first and then followed by Islam I mean so today you'd probably have what 2 billion Christians in the world so to say that he was unsuccessful is is not

1:26:14

true he was successful but you're right he as a person wasn't ruling an empire but who said that that verse meant to rule as an empire it didn't say that he just said that it will overcome and it did overcome in the end but his message did overcome the falsehood against him that he was a false messiah and so on and he was embraced by people far and wide you see when you say so he said but a lie is not saying I the message he's saying the

1:26:54

messengers know but listen he's not saying the people he's saying Russo Lee Russell is a rasul the person who carries a message it's a descriptive it's an adjective it's not the person so Allah never said I know he never said Ana ye Sawa moosa wa inna said me and jesus and moses and we will overcome he said me and those who carry the message because the message did overcome eventually so i mean because that's the actual reading of the verse of the quran

1:27:33

how was his message successful it was distorted within 10 years yeah but I mean it was successful as far as reaching far and wide now obviously we would disagree as Muslims with several elements of Christianity but Christianity you deny its success it has been incredibly successful its religion metaphysics it depends on your definition of metaphysics metaphysics means that which is beyond the physical so obviously religion is linked to metaphysics right

1:28:09

okay so right people let's take a few right okay there's this hadith let's go briefly into this hadith and then we'll pick up on this I had II thought the Prophet SAW Allah I leave so now this hadith I do not believe it to be a correct hadith although as part of the message may be may resonate with some reality as in general teachings so this popular hadith that a person came to the prophet and said I wish - I wish to fornicate and the Prophet said well you

1:28:48

know would you would you be pleased for your mother to do that allegedly the Prophet said this and the person said no and then he said would you want your sister to do that and the Prophet no and then he sorry the person said no and then the Prophet allegedly said would you want your daughter to to do that and the person said no and and so this kind of brings the person to - accepting that no you can't just go around fornicating this is the hadith this hadith is transmitted in the book of Muslim it and it's in tabarani the margin of tehrani it's also

1:29:27

transmitted by Behati in his shop now it comes it's related by the companion abu ammama alba he now he has from him a particular chain and I'll read this it comes down mainly to two transmitters that a key person in this chain it comes down to is yezi digna Harun now he is the main transmitter so first of all I'll explain why it's weak and then I'll come back to the content of the hadith and show why that problematic Yazidi been a hard one is the main transmitter so Imam but and all these people are getting it

1:30:05

from his Eden Harun he's somebody who yeah I mean said he is not from the scholars of hadith he's not a an authority or reliable person to transmit hadith he's also the same person who opener sorry you al-haytham a great critic of hadith studies I mean a great scholar who kind of class it he basically categorizes narrators of hadith as well he said and other people accept this this is transmitted in all the other books as well whether you want to check up the Sierra alarming of Allah or the

1:30:43

other books on Rogell that Yazeed apna Harun in his old age he went blind okay now when he went blind he would be asked about hadith can I use a low Anil hadith and because he's blind he can't read it so what he used to do he had a servant girl right who was some slave girl that was his servant they used to work with him so he used to get her to read the hadith to the people so

1:31:17

so mashallah but hadith being transmitted which is through this girl who is transmitting these hadith and no I do she what her level of education would have been and she was just some servant girl I mean whether she was making mistakes whilst reading them very likely I mean I doubt it she was like a master practitioner of honey so whatever she's saying people would so she was like masha'Allah the great mud desire walked walked right so this just goes to show you you can't

1:31:55

accept so this hadith by Aziz and Harun is unacceptable and then there is a and then it centrally relies on he's transmitting it from this guy called Hadees it knows man horizon knows man is another problematic narrator if when I have been clearly states that this guy is unreliable we will not accept is hadith and even any other narration that they have for this hadith all comes through harissa blast man and he's and one of the things they say is he did have issues also we'd say highly with ali radiya llahu on but he had other issues as well and even a headband

1:32:34

obviously problematizes him and he's also somebody I'll share this story with you that you know this the famous hadith that the Prophet said to ali radiya llahu on in a committee Beeman's Allah T Harun me Musa that you are to me as as Iran was to Moses except that there is no prophet after me so this this famous hadith so he transmits it when he's asked horizon North man he says no that's correct but you you've got it wrong it ought to read as it ought to

1:33:11

read as in the Khomeini Rahman zlatyk our own me Musa you know karun great kaffir the the guy that was really opposed to prophet Moses in his time and he had all the wealth and he was posed the prophet Moses and he kind of boasted about all his wealth and everything there's a mention of him in the Quran so he says that the Hadees ought to read to say to I leave early Ilan that you are to me as karun was to Moses not Harun all right so that's I thought

1:33:51

I'd share that but this what's wrong with this hadith I think this hadith it has some teachings that that are fine that they resonate with the general Islamic teachings as in okay is trying to tell people you know you should have assists you should have sustained relationships and you shouldn't kind of just be out there doing these kind of and that message does exist in Islam also the fact that the Prophet is you know that he's somebody that the people could have approached and they could have asked him personal questions and no matter how outrageous the questions were so that message resonates with Islamic history and truth however the Prophet here emotionally

1:34:31

blackmailing this person into kind of like well oh so would you like it for your mom or would you like it for this would you like it for this the Prophet never you you get no parallel ever that the Prophet ever spoke like that and and like I mentioned before that the Arabian society sex was something very different for them it's not even like - despite us being in a very liberal society today sex even today is still a bit of a taboo in in the Arabian society it was just seen as something that's very natural it did not have any taboo associated with

1:35:10

it so they didn't have these kind of cultures like you know that the way that we would have today like people would say oh my god like oh my daughter or my mother and you know anything sexual associated with her is like something deeply embarrassing or my sister or especially in the Asian cultures hence a lot of this swear words like sister the sister that they've evolved around taboos so but in the arab culture there was nothing like this so if you read the hadith they're actually speak about a

1:35:47

lot of sexual questions and staff and discussion so openly that most people today Islamic people generally would be embarrassed actually translating them because they they would be like and I gave the example last time of one of the particular marriages that they would do call Nicosia hard which is then prohibited under Islamic teaching later on where they would kind of Marie let's say here's like this person would marry his daughter and he would marry his daughter like kind of like swamp not swap as in but they would exchange the

1:36:27

relationship as in you you know your daughter for his daughter like that as a swap or your sister for his sister or even mother they would and they would do that and this is pre Islam that society in which Islam kind of emerge this was called Mikkel Shahar and I mentioned in the past that what's actually quite shocking was that the term Shahar which a lot of people why it's called Sharad they write it in the books that part of the deal was that they had to seal the deal as in once they exchange the vows as in you marry this person daughter he marries your daughter or you marry his

1:37:06

system as your sister or your mother and his mother now wants the deal to seal the deal Shahar was actually named after a sexual position that they had to both go home and they had to consummate in that sexual position this was the naughty naughty this one these are not nice they named it after the dog us the dog has to take a leak he has to lift one of its legs and that term in Arabic was called shudder and held that it lifted his leg so the

1:37:45

person had to consummate so this is why they call this on so it's like I'm sorry this is I'm sorry this is the deal you know we have to seal the deal I say I take this stuff really seriously you know this is like religious stuff I have to take it very I have to so that's so you see so they weren't embarrassed about speaking about these kind of things and they didn't have that so it doesn't really tie up anyway and then it doesn't tie up with the prophets

1:38:22

character - emotionally or guilt-trip people so that's why I was showing in the chain is weak anyway based on Yazeed even Harun and her ease of Norseman some people read as hoorays but it is Harry's acknowledgement so I thought I'll share that with you people right I tell you what we wore is that the time let's take a few rapid round questions and we'll start wrapping this up somebody said we wheelbarrow position now this was actually a different position because they had to have the leg had to be at a particular right

1:38:57

like 100 degree angle this was some what can you imagine scholars like Islamic the people teaching this stuff nah nah yes brothers and sisters and then the husband must go home and he must perform the cigar I will now demonstrate Kairosoft demonstrating the car Islam is demonstrating of the you know the kids

1:39:35

in the motherís on this is this is all right people all right God God oh right this reminds me I were going to wrap up why does right I want you to say as part of an out also comment on the Imran Khan and the india-pakistan thing as well but before I come to that I wanted to say look somebody had asked me that oh when you commented on the imam awesome thing I met today I met her I met I met this Bravo we got chatting at the at the

1:40:13

hairdresser's people so Omar and he's also a student of chefs at jars is an amazing scholar from the Midlands also related to me so do reach out to chefs Sajjad he spells it as sjw ad with the sacred texts Institute and he's an amazing very open minded scholar as well so he studies with him so I met Omar today this person we should got chatting and and he said well you know you and he raised some concerns he said you know you're speaking about the Imam awesome thing and I thought this is definitely worth addressing almost this almost

1:40:52

sounds like you know when share free Aloha every other hawk would say oh I met somebody in the supermarket I was approached however although not to mock I'm not mocking I don't want to upset she really Hawk following I'm just saying just saying friend friend so the the yes so he said that you know when you address the Imam Assam issue and there was a lot of jokes but with the Imam Assam issue later on emerges there were allegations of rape and all this

1:41:31

stuff and your commentary was very humorous and you just being funny and banker and but this topic is so serious now I just want to clarify that look I discussed the Imam awesome thing over two weeks yeah so in my move tea masala segment now the first week if you watch it the secret recording had not been leaked so nobody had any knowledge of any other allegations all they knew of was where he met some allegedly met some girl and he stroked her faces and then

1:42:09

she kept meeting him allegedly in this car and then he touched her leg and then she she was like oh my god and then she came again and met him at midnight and and then he allegedly kissed her or something so I was laughing at the whole thing that that was available at that time ok and you can watch it and I actually make it clear in the beginning that look if there's been a crime reported to the police if there has and what's all of this and I was cracking jokes at chef Assad's remedy to the situation that you must pray five times a day and it must be monitored and so on and so forth and I was kind of

1:42:47

satirizing all of that the week after a whole week later this their private meeting recording is leaked on YouTube so I heard that and in that there were other allegations now I don't know the reality of those allegations but they mentioned there and that's why my second discussion was a lot more serious so I in no way was belittling these crimes and if these crimes I was actually very serious in my second thing and I said that this is utterly unacceptable all this nonsense that's been going on so just to clarify I wanted to clarify that okay

1:43:22

so somebody's constantly going on about the wheel barrel position now all right people what else is going on what else right so those of you what people in Pakistan recently so first of all those of you that don't know there's an Aryan Kashmir in Indian Occupied Kashmir called Baloo Amma and over there there was a an attack a suicide bombing last week and it killed I think 40 military personnel so the person there

1:44:01

was some kind of military bus going and the person I don't know I think he drove a car into or something and he blew it up and there were soldiers on board so use so he killed I think 40 people or something now that first of all is we all condemn any any acts of atrocity things like that do not help the cause of the people in Kashmir they do not help any cause tragedy only begets further tragedy okay these kind of atrocities beget atrocities so that has to be very clear okay now that said India immediately just

1:44:40

without it just immediately blamed Pakistan said Pakistan was behind this now and in ron-karr only today I think or was it yesterday but I watched it today responded because Imran Khan had this whole visit with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia had come to Pakistan and they were preparing for that so India just kind of blamed and India said that all we will retaliate with for with Pakistan and JJ Mohammed has taken responsibility Jesse Mohammed is a proscribed like a banned organization from Pakistan as in based in Pakistan they were a jihadi organization and India said that we're

1:45:20

going to isolate Pakistan economically throughout the globe and we're going to you know impose sanctions and this this this so we're gonna stop trade and do all these kind of things and I think it's all you know this as far as all of this is concerned it is ridiculous okay India I personally am NOT somebody that is opposed to India I like India I'm you know peer be dill hey Hindustani I think really India Pakistan himself I sell I think a key here we were all one people in essence right us people anyway

1:45:58

indo-pak people our us all our roots are just one you know these kind of politically drawn borders do not really differentiate us race is a social construct I mean I miss ities and our heritage is just one so I've never I'm not really at all in any way some people have anti India and stuff like that I'm not like that at all I'm very I love the Indian color you know culture and stuff like this Bollywood yeah if not anything Bollywood he say and I condemn any of these acts

1:46:35

of terrorism but the truth is Imran Khan made an epic speech today where he said look if there's any action any evidence bring it to us we Karen tea that they will be action and and he said that look you have to grow up that in this day and age military you have to learn that military we kind of action doesn't work it like he gave the example of Afghanistan he said after 17 years America is even saying okay the way forward with the Taliban is going to be through dialogue like in all honesty even younger Indians today like

1:47:13

Millennials and these people see many of them see that look having a military occupation in indian-administered Kashmir it's unacceptable one the amount of oppression I'm not saying let Kashmir be part Pakistan but I'm saying give them their independence like what like how long will you subdue people what is the purpose of this give them some kind of autonomy let them be I mean this you know now you have young kashmiris who have such hatred in their heart that they prepared to kill themselves

1:47:49

and kill all these people right so all of this like what it's about time people like the Indian parliamentarians think about what is actually going how long will they you know Easter ah you know like the poet says trosset Nibbana hey douche varsa do beetle varsa maybe tell varsa you know like this it won't work like this that you just behave like a sword and I behaved like a sword and Imran Khan actually said that you know if you if you're dreaming of any military action there will be immediate

1:48:25

retaliation so I think this but on the same you know on Wilde's on that note I do equally say that look these kind of things it is unfortunate what Islam has become today that this you know this jihadi thing this whole concept of Islam being kind of usurped and hijacked by these people today the cry of allahu akbar has become a terrifying cry you know allah akbar if somebody said if we were outside someone somebody said allah akbar everybody's getting a totally crappy they think like some guys gonna blow himself up this was actually a

1:49:05

thicker this was a term which is like the glorification of god and they've turned it into a cry of terrorism you know there's a famous poet of india an amazing poet NIDA Fazli saw and he has a poem where he says he says koshish ke bawah jute yells america that despite all the effort that this allegation still remained that herkim make we come

1:49:44

ameesha reggae that always some acts some task no matter how much we accomplished was always left undone and he says that he says namaz ito he says oh okay Musti don't say namaz Ito chale that these that the people would come to the Masjid to pray the auto to chemistry don't say namazi jelly that the people would come to the mosque to pray they have left and

1:50:23

long gone they're shut Karanka heart may Islam right now that these terrorists terror organizations Islam was left in their hands that this is a tragedy a lie hurts to see what Islam has become a religion that was originally built upon compassion that it came out of this whole thing the verse of the Quran that rahmatan lil Allah mean a mercy for the world something we the messenger of

1:51:03

allah wherever he had an opportunity stopped any kind of even at the conquest of Makkah he's famous his famous words or stopping rebuking the companion that wanted to retaliate because the people had suffered with violence and he said a young yeoman mal hama and the Prophet said no it is not the day of massacre it is the day of compassion a young Yama Yama the this prophet who came to kind of breed superstition to read this kind of tyranny that this message today the

1:51:41

remnants of it that we have is simply that the rubble is nothing but bomb explosions and terrorism and violence and misogyny and brutality and control and and I'm not saying that's all it is but this is all that is apparent to people this is what seems to stand out when people look at Islam this is all they can see it breaks serious relize heart shattering to see this that this message has has ended up you know

1:52:18

it's like in the words of southern sneaky sub where he says 'no johnny kaha who I am Robert I don't know where civility has got lost like humanity we did it get lost along the way na jaane kahan Koga I am Robert buried or attacked Oh made a satellite that yeah it traveled with me a long way but then it lost its track that I don't know we civility and humanity went along the

1:52:55

way and I think you know so may Allah I think you know make things easy for people I think that in many ways it's very disheartening and I think sometimes it makes me think that you know maybe we can't like the task is too much that we won't be able to change the narrative we won't be able to like sometimes it can leave people responding and but I think it is important to realize that we have to that if people are going to do these atrocities if people are going to hijack the name then we have to kind of double

1:53:35

our efforts we have to double down and I make sure even harder that that message the true the true message of Islam being of mercy compassion gets out there okay and may allah subhanaw taala make things easy for people guys it's really gone on way too long unlike me I don't think you guys are vampires so I think I'll leave it with that inshallah take very good care of yourselves people any issues do reach out to me I'm on facebook I'm on snapchat I'm on Instagram

1:54:14

saying it's mostly Abu layth do like my page like it share it yeah like it and share it man spread spread the laughs wrestler oh I forgot to make that part of India's boycott was that it's definitely worth mentioning is they said we're gonna stop sending like ripe tomatoes to Pakistan they actually said in several interviews they go hamari to martyr conquer how many they said these Pakistanis are eating our tomatoes and then they're killing us huh

1:54:53
