eaten something and just wasn't feeling well and um and then recuperating so which is all good alhamdulillah so my schedule had kind of got knocked completely into orbit and today then i thought all right now that the gyms are open i have to go and bless uh grace them come back and you know what i just ah there's just this and i thought let me just take a little nap and then hopefully you know the last of whatever this is this kind of like

there's a malaise this is kind of like um and then i was just knocked out i was just completely out for the count and it's a good thing i i got up because actually i didn't my little one said oh what day is it isn't it monday nights with mufti i was like right so here i am people with the coffee

so my bad my bad i thought you know what for a split second i thought oh you know what uh then i thought oh my god it's the last one before ramadan so i have to yejib i gotta make this so people you do and it you do and it much love much love let me just bring up the comments as well as zerati you're doing it you're doing it that's that look at that right there zarate is always on on the ball

see now i'm starting to recognize some of these names do you think dulk is still necessary in a world with high pressure running water good question good question um imam love you yeah love all of you guys in fact i want to go through that you know this i want to go through the love i've received something very uh it's it's an appreciation kind of um

collation i guess of different people uh put together by some of you guys right here uh so rosa shukran for that i dearly appreciate it and i was just going through and i thought you know what let me read this on the live why not man this is all your love just putting it back out there to you guys so uh ramadan kareem likewise people uh am i growing my ramadan beard you know i'd like to say yes

yeah i guess so let's just go with that that sounds a lot better but i mean actually i was a bit out of it this weekend and then my hair just grows so fast you know honestly i that would be i mean like that would be like two two and a half days it'd be like that's just like a full beard isn't it obviously i'm like what the hell is going on my hair grows fast my nails grow super fast you know honestly i it's annoying because it'll be like uh you know they'll they'll look real like i've just cut them it's been like what four five

five days six they'll look like really long again and i'll be like god yeah same thing with the i don't know what it is it's one of those uh genetic mutations i must have ramadan mubarak ramadan there is a whole discussion on whether i mean people some of you may be doing ramadan tomorrow some of you may be doing it on wednesday it's all good it's all good it's not you know something to really become kind of all

uh i don't know entangled in negatively it's all good it's all good i thought you know what with today being this monday night before ramadan let's deal with what's on your mind people what's preoccupying your thoughts well i was going to do ramadan as in tonight as in tuesday but then in birmingham i think many mosques are doing it on wednesday and then i suppose

a lot of my family as an extended kind of family my parents and and and other people are kind of doing it on wednesday so i'm just going with that why not and and while i it gives me an extra day i'd i'd rather not lie but lying is haram according to people so but i was initially planning on it being tonight

ramadan mubarak mufti shukran i see sarasota are you going to organize an iftar for your fans i definitely would and will but the problem is that coveted lockdown restrictions still remain on numbers within gatherings so even though they've eased up today in the in in england they've eased up so you gyms are open and non-essential shops are open but they still have restrictions on groups so i think it's still something like six to a gathering and stuff oh i don't know i think if it's an open place a bit more but it's not like full-on back on so even people trying to do weddings

and stuff like that they're not still very limited numbers but once all of this ends i'm gonna throw a massive one don't worry i'll i'll do the usual the arc one you know what everybody come down man you know i you know what we need to arrange a um what do we call it uh like a residential i need to arrange like a weekend spa somewhere i think i think that would be that would be awesome wouldn't it

just book out a nice place could have like a conference room and maybe some very chilled kind of sessions not really even said just some get together and just let people chill i guess i don't know i think that sounds so good but i don't know if that would work if there were so many people because or or what number of people would that work with that's a better question and in such a setting what you see because being structured would just kill the vibe because if it's

something like a a lounging chilling um or unless it's just a you have to do it in a non-spot so it's just a residential yeah i supposed to do that as well um that could work as well i don't know i got a it's been years since i've thought about these things actually like a residential i remember we did one in what was it 2015 we did a and it was good it was fun and

but i i remember at the time thinking this could have been so much better and yeah that's food for thought people food for thought food for thought but then i'll need some people to organize it let's take a look what's preoccupying your precious thoughts people mufti what's for sahari well since i'm not doing it now today but otherwise there is salan as always i think is it and

rice there you go um you teasing me nothing that is people saying free mixing in the look people are adults they don't need to be micromanaged do they of course it would be it wouldn't be gender segregated i mean that would be i mean i don't know what that means gender segregate people would just be people isn't it it's hardly a for god's sake you know

people think oh my god if there isn't a wall i mean if there isn't a wall between men and women then it just translates in their head as an orgy [Laughter] this is how weirded out these people are that they just think ah oh what you mean in the same room men and women then they just picture this uh and they think is that what it is [Laughter] um

get your protein sure man definitely definitely alright so what's going on uh if there will be cats i mean right can i stop fasting because of work well well i don't know what your work is mufti can you publish a paper on why the hadith of abu hurairah attributed to quran 4159 is a weak hadith on or before their death or his death

four one five nine what verse is that i'd i'd like to pretend that when you say these numbers like that they just pop straight in my head but you guys you know some people way underestimate me you guys way overestimate me it's like i'll be like ah oh no sorry that's that's four one five eight this was four one five okay [Music] i'm not sure what verse that is but i'll have to check that out

i'm a school teacher i get thirsty when talking can i stop fasting i tell you what let's deal with the uh some fasting questions we'll do that we'll in just a moment we'll get into it people will get into it so what is going down what is going down man somebody said habla multihe oh oh that verse right cable multihe yeah we can discuss that why not why not why not

so many questions to ask but i'll take this opportunity and much love for the super chat to say without you i wouldn't be muslim today i can't thank you enough just don't stop gio yeah geogeo honestly i you know i i honestly i don't have words really for your appreciation um it's it's a blessing that's all i can say and i and i don't you know i know to people to some people i mean i can understand why they may

think that because they're just so toxic but to some people they may think i'm just you know i don't know like i'm pretending being fake or um but i'm legitimately saying that look i honestly don't you know when when i say things like i don't feel i mean twofold one that i don't feel that i necess at all really deserve just everything like this whole thing i i i genuinely don't like i do think like i'm being legitimate it's not that

i okay it's not that i think i'm not talented or it's that i don't think i'm intelligent or i do i'm not gonna lie i do i recognize these things about myself but i don't see myself like as talented as as being able to touch the hearts of so many people and i don't honestly i still see myself okay this is real talk now yeah i see myself as a

you know very still um i don't know like uh it's hard to explain but you see i see myself sometimes like you know with my humor and my stuff as almost just like like a child but a grown-up child this sounds i don't know if that makes any sense to people like when i was a kid and i would think of an adult like let's say i would see people who are 40 years old or forget 40 even

in their 30s i had i saw people who i pictured as oh they're grown-ups now that i'm of that age i don't still see myself like that i see myself as obviously of that age but just almost like a child but a man a man it's weird honestly i can't explain it but but i do see other people like that as as very grown up and and this is why i get really you know when i like on my mind traps like connect with professors and people

i see them as very kind of grown up like very kind of adult like just like how i pictured grown-ups to be when i was a kid so and i'm really surprised how you know the amount of respect and and even the kind of keenness they have for me and just people in general as well because i think to myself no way seriously like i i picture people to be so serious and i picture them to think what the hell is this guy always joking and laughing and surely they can't

but but wow you know but they genuinely do they they and that really every time it surprises me people think i'm just acting but i'm not i'm i'm really i'm like whoa serious wow do you seriously um see me in such light and so so shook him honestly really deeply from my heart i the other thing i wanted to say when i said this is twofold is that even though i'm obviously

i'm i'm online i'm doing everything but i really only get a snapshot as a snapshot of maybe the waves that my thought may be making is that it's through my haters as weird as this sounds because you see to me i think hmm you know like okay i'm there let's say i'm making my videos i'm doing my stuff but the amount of people that not only get rattled sometimes but they become obsessed

you see that reflects a sense of threat to their worldview to the and i'm just an individual i'm not an you know a sect i'm not a denomination i'm not a um you know like i'm just an individual so for me to be able to really i don't know petrify these people to that extent that they become obsessed i mean sects groups organizations i mean they put their time effort money

to just becoming preoccupied with me that really gives me a realization at times that damn that these people must you know they must see me as something so huge to that they need to kind of uh i don't know they need to extinguish whatever it is i'm saying so yeah wow i mean i i do at times you know it's like i've read once who was it it was actually a um that was from the world war um times where it was a jewish i think he was a jewish

scientist or something but he's he said that he was speaking about the kind of anti-jewish propaganda and he was saying well you know we haven't really produced enough and but he said whenever i really want to see like i want to understand maybe just get a boost self-esteem boost he said i just read all the propaganda against jewish people because he's like they're taking over the world they're doing this they're doing that they're controlling the systems and and that's um yeah so and then i see all this love from you guys and really it does honestly drowns me it drowns me in

in a positive way geogeo and i will i will read some of the i will read these um i was sent some um i was i was sent to this kind of like collage almost of messages of warm thoughts and opinions about me that have been collected by

some people who i'm dear to them and and they dear to me alhamdulillah and i've read it and i thought wow you know i just i felt that you know what let's share let's read some of this on my on my life in fact you know what i think i've got some screenshots of it i'm going to bring it up here right so so if somebody were to say somebody was to guess so so i'll do that but meanwhile if you've got any uh any questions do send them i will be focusing on your questions as well today

especially this being you know just prior to ramadan so i don't want uh right one moment i'm just trying to bring this across i thought what a sweet gesture honestly so one moment

what's going on here and you do all of this and all right sorry that's my bad i this is what i'm saying if i hadn't been knocked out today i would have been you know but i guess

so that's done alright yep i have got some screenshots here i thought why not why not people why not why not it's not just the stuff what is this one man you see i haven't removed that video that's why it's just keep like playing itself my

let's get out of there tell you what let's bring it up [Music] trying to bring this up is there anything here no so if somebody were to say how can we believe these are hadith when google earth has mapped the whole world we can zoom in and see everything around us and there you go that's better all right so

here it is right so people this had been by um by some of you guys really and sent to me so i dearly appreciate it i thought well look at this and you gotta check the the the the message that says that there you go

so it says that as you can see our patreon multiple lathe but more importantly you can read the other message that says love from your haramis i i read that was in proper stitches honestly right so here is i ought to have had all of this already done really but because i was chaoled right so there it is look um this is just an opening now i thought well

let me share it with you guys so it says salaam mufti we the supporters here but i would like to show you appreciation and love geogeo right so that you have had an impact on us right they go on they want to show how much they admire me when engaging with people we tend to remember the few negative words that are said to us but we want you to never forget that you have impacted so many more people positively and we stand with you

so just share one i haven't got the whole i've got the thing on my phone but i've just got these few only uh screenshots here on the system [Music] a bit you know my right so this is an example of how there's a entire collection so i thought well look i tell you what let me go through some of these why not why not right so

slightly uh let's let's let's take a little walk through this so there's azuz from kuwait responding to the question how has muftiji impacted your views and thoughts biggest idea lesson positive things that you have that you took away from watching muftiji so azul says from kuwait ease of deen hell yeah see that's what the deen is all about understanding hadith literature better through his bukhari series the age of aisha

and the question of apostasy which was personal to me as i was once agnostic wow amidst all the is there anything you want to let him know keep it up boss you do and azusa do and you're definitely a heavyweight when it comes to today's islamic intellectualism and i admire your jihad to refute any ill claim that has fallen upon our prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi islam by those non-muslims and even muslims darth vader now i recognize some of these names now from the uk

he says well how have i impacted him through bukhari gate amidst all the negativity he would like to say allah is with the righteous and really do people live to see the impact of their work or receive the appreciation within their lifetime [Laughter] i guess i'll have to i'll have to wait till i'm kind of gone and then people will be like but that's i suppose it's just the the laws of life isn't it it's the laws of life nisar ahmed from uk says mufti has answered a lot of my questions and he's tackled so this is an entire kind of like a you

got to kind of scroll through the whole thing um he says he has tackled a lot of my questions and a lot of what i believed were problems with modern day molars as in mullahs amidst all the negativity i'd like to say keep doing you avra [Laughter] am i just doing myself in or just keep you helped us so much may allah grant you a high rank in jannah and allow your legacy to help muslims in the future can't wait for your video to feel of the quran i'm pleased to call myself your student

i'm on it honestly i'm honored i don't know what i've said about doing it to see but it you know these things would be very very awesome rational faith alright i recognize rational faith um mufti abu leith allowed me to think freely about things without conforming to the predetermined values of the traditionalist since watching mufti i am happier and more in touch with islam his reason-based approach is the future of islam honestly that there's so you know that

what rational faith has written here honestly this is just summed up my kind of message honestly that has always been it that you that if you say you have faith in your life you ought it ought to make you happy not horrible not hateful not bitter not and islam really is just meant to complement your your day-to-day life that's what the dean is meant to do right i highly respect him and despite things we disagree on he's my favorite scholar [Laughter]

i'll always have his back rationality giorgio man right so and look we've just i've read out a comment today from sami al-imam you're doing it from canada it's written that the things the biggest ideas and lessons were one is numbered them he said one this isn't your dad's dean you do and it two salafism is a hard has a hard grasp on the internet and it's nearly impossible to find anything that's not dogmatic

that is unfortunately true three showed me that i'm not crazy and being skeptical about hadith four brought me into the maliki method alright you're doing it you're doing it five people five showed me that the deen is a natural one the and that should complement your life right what would you like to let me know that you are super funny all right sugar and chicken [Laughter] you know that's a gift as well because you know it's things like humor are something that just

i suppose we all have humor but to certain degrees they just come naturally don't they it's something that if you try to uh fake it comes across so weird and and it just comes across totally it cannot make people laugh it cannot it's just so cringe worthy and and i i personally think that's you know something i love so much about life is just humor obviously i get carried away my humor and i i have to always you know whenever i have a serious conversation with people

and that's usually only like one-on-ones i only raise so like i'm saying with my mind traps and um or just at other times as well when i have had um somebody really needs to talk to me i suppose if it's just somebody regular i may not but if it's like i don't know who they are but if it's somebody who i have somewhat of an understanding who these people are or they have they're in you know they have a standing in the in you know a stature of their own right one of the first things i have to say to them is look lis i say look just excuse my humor by the way please you know i know you've probably come across

all this stuff i just go on about and your content is continuously thought provoking sugar and sugar right illuminati is illuminati that would be a scandal right there illuminate the path from the u.s how has mufti ji impacted your views right the emphasis on reason and critical thought was huge for me having to rethink what i believed and to see if it matched the same criteria i had i held others to in other faiths you know that is

so important so so important i feel that you know these two things that reason the voice of reason and critical thought which are obviously really just different aspects of the same coin really different sides to it but we when we examine other faiths we are so critical that oh this doesn't make sense that doesn't make sense you know oh you think these this scripture survived like oh how do you know it hasn't been altered how do you know this how do you

know that the gospels like when we say things like muslims will say oh the gospels the earliest kind of documentation was 80 years after jesus how do you expect us to believe that this kind of stuff but then when it comes to islam we completely just put blinkers on our eyes like the fact that you know the shocking fact that the person who solely carries the weight of sahil bukhari nobody vouched for him for you know between 1 to 200 years you know like 150

years later or something we we won't it's it's not that it's that we won't even blink at that to us it'll be like just doesn't matter the fact that we'll read things which sound horrendous and we'll just be like oh it doesn't matter this is one of the best criteria always in your mind think how would i have held somebody of another faith to account

and then reflect that am i being a hypocrite so some words you'd like to let me know for those who champion reason the legacy of abu leith has been solidified undoubtedly will go down as one of the greatest in our day and age true champion in our time of making the team easy technology has your work saved for the future muslims who value reason to benefit from much appreciated much appreciated honestly i feel that you know you say technology has saved much of what i've

done and i feel that it has saved it has really just saved me my message everything and i don't mean saved as in archived which it has done but if it wasn't for technology a voice like mine could never have reached hardly anyone because you see people like me will never fit in institutions you understand i've my spirit

has never been born to be in a cage that these shackles and these the mold that institutionalized religion presents unfortunately the masjids the you know the organizations the denominations these things would never allow a platform and and many you know it makes me think at times that how many similar voices maybe much more enlightened than me were there but just died to death

because there was nothing to carry their voice and and that's something that we you know i'm so grateful that in this day and age technology that i can just sit here at home i mean i said you know a few years ago i don't know if you guys remember there was um i was speaking about how these people are so uh they were saying i mean they still say it but uh i'm saying this whole council culture you know obviously the religious cancel culture that oh boycott this musty boycott this mufti shut him down

boycott they were like uh you know how does he how do people allow him and and so on and and i responded by saying ability i sit at home this is just my broadband i'm not you know all i'm doing is just sitting at home just as i be at home and i just live stream and just connect with people and that's all it takes it's nothing no it doesn't cost anything it doesn't i mean apart from just normal costs which are already running within the within you know at home internet and

stuff but that's not really costs it doesn't cost anything it doesn't require some kind of like i don't know some petrol dollars and it doesn't require institutions it doesn't and yet it's enough to dissolve these kind of chains and bonds that these people have on the muslim public and i'm so grateful for that right a message for all those who champion reason all right i've read that shukran shukran so much love much love i do feel i've said this before i even said this as a message to

people who are training to become imams i said and i say this to regular you know this is to everyone that look wallahi whether you you know whether people like what i say or they don't like what i say or sorry whether they like me or don't like me but so much of the hard work has already been done for them like i you know i mentioned to someone just this weekend i said um i said that they were i don't know whether it was 2016 or something like that

and i'd done the i think i it was when i was preparing for the age of aisha video and i'd done that so at that time i remember thinking i was engaging a lot in this kind of like what atheists are saying and i was listening and reading and i was watching a lot of you know this whole atheist material what are they challenging religion with hitchins and other people and and so i and also is islamophobic stuff and islam um kind of um material that's criticizing islam i was

kind of at that time looking at it and then i remember drawing up a list on my notes my phone of topics or questions that i feel are problematic towards islam and i need to you know let's draw out the list and then let's answer them and i i can't remember how many things were on the list at the time i think there may have been about like 20 odd things i put put down there and as i'm putting them many of them were just things that i could answer then i mean i could answer but as i started to zone in i started to you know

like let the shackles go and just write things that i think are really challenging and then you know i would leave it and i'll kind of do my normal stuff and days later or add a question to it and you know i ended up putting certain things down there that i was kind of like i had no answers to at that time no answers and i don't just mean you know i could just say oh well it doesn't be like you know it doesn't mean this he doesn't but i you see to answer something you need to answer it from scripture

with research and in it being true to the actual script not in the sense that you just are just making something up so i remember at the time there were certain things i mean most of them i felt like a lot of them i felt okay there was a huge number or a significant amount i thought yeah i can answer that i can answer that and there were some that i thought and there were a few that i thought oh damn [Laughter] i thought to myself god damn how does anybody answer these and i

almost felt for a moment that you know for a moment for for a while that you know will i ever be able to answer these and i connected with olama that i i what's up you know like over the course of that coming year the following year the i would try and connect with certain reason-based scholars who in private would talk to me and i know in public then you know they don't want to be seen because obviously they get too much heat for it but in public in private they have obviously they they do like what i do and stuff but so they i messaged them saying look have you got any thoughts on this

i message people internationally i and i just would ponder over these things and there were some that i just kind of momentarily i just had no answer for in that moment and and there was a time that some of my friends even said oh mufti you know what what are some of these like tell us and i said that look i don't feel comfortable saying them because i haven't yet come up like an answer hasn't dawned on me and i don't want to just say things and then you guys are like oh damn you know like because some of these weren't really being challenged by atheists and ex-muslims and stuff at the time and i was kind of glad that they

weren't being challenged because i was thinking damn if they were i don't have an answer to them yet but you know i can say lila hammed every one of those things in the recent years i answered every single one and not in a sense i'm not saying this in a sense that this is me being uh you know they just opened to me you and sometimes that open you know like i just have an open cognitive opening in the weirdest of i'd like to say it's just you know my intelligence but it isn't because that intelligence if i want to say it's my

intelligence then i'm sure i had that prior to that you know how has my intelligence changed so much but it's just like sometimes i i would have just been just in a steam room and suddenly it would just click and i thought wait a minute but i'm really being honest like there were issues that i was surprised how muslims haven't before dealt with these issues like i'll give you a really strong one at the time was this whole thing of how aligned the quran how is it ethically and these all these questions

were only quran related they weren't like hadith related they were just quran related and although there was the topic one of them was about bukhari and this thing uh which later on i then went into as bihari gate and did all of that but um most of them were quran related questions so as an example how does in the story of moses allah not only allow but instruct the murder of a child how is that ethical under any given scenario

and how you know like how is that something that people haven't questioned and at that time i really this weighed down on me so heavily because i you know i just on one hand i can't believe that that would be true that allah would ethically i mean because allah would instruct a prophet and that to go and murder a child that does that's not allah as as i know allah understand allah and that's not islam but on the other hand i'm thinking well here's this this story in the quran and i'm thinking

well why haven't people even discussed this i'm reading all these tough season nobody's bloody discussing it and then i do answer it and it just and when it dawned on me it just dawned on me and and i checked up the context and it all fit it and uh and i've got a whole video explaining that and it's so amazing i was like how did i miss this and it was the the point that they go to sleep but what i'm trying to mention here as an example is like this there were several questions which now i have answered over these following you know these past years

but so much of the work has been done for people who are now you know coming to this arena of islam and you know they want to understand it and they can build on it you know i mean i'm not saying um you know they they may be able to take those examples and build on them you know improve them so right let's um abu safura you're doing it you're too oh right you know

salaam mufti what do you think of those stories in the quran being simultaneously true but not historical eg the nature of evil being demonstrated the contrast of adam at least one committing of wrong and rationalizing and the other repenting all right well i have got videos on these and i and these two are questions which i answered one of the things at the time was evolution i answered that the story of adam was also one on my list which i did answer and the fruit was a question which i admit over years i developed in my view on that so first i thought it may have been

metaphorical then i do actually feel i know it's i've got a whole clip on it explaining in line with what psychologists call the stone date theory that human beings may have been kind of modern humans would have been the consciousness would have been edging forward and forward as in they would have been having some developments but not quite the way we are today with this kind of cognition and adam alaihi salam i believe would have been the father of you know of of humans today with this

modern cognitive explosion and having consciousness the way we do and i feel that what may have triggered it was a psychedelic um whether you know whether you want to say fruit or plant or or whatever it was and and in the quran it doesn't mention it was a fruit by the way it just mentions reference to a kind of bush or tree and this is what it's being referred to and it's unlike the the bible there's no such thing as an apple or stuff like this so i do feel that the you know that's what i eventually kind of gravitated towards

that and that triggered the entire cognitive revolution yeah so yes from saudi arabia all right saudi you're doing it you're doing it a lot what how have i impacted you a lot has actually a lot actually since the last year and a half his views about islam are particularly rational logical as opposed to the current mainstream interpretation of islam above all however

his humorous mannerisms and the positive vibes he radiates are what inspired me to be more optimistic about islam and life in general and what he'd like me to know is let him know that his service to our religion is more faithful than any holier-than-thou clerics who are doing more harmful disservice than anyone else also i'm a huge enthusiast of his views maybe one day i'll write for him a poem [Laughter] do it yeah i'd do it to your geo i appreciate it man i appreciate it honestly it's good

and i totally echo those thoughts that you know the these clergy these clerics they are dying to death and this is the problem this is why they hate me so much because they see it's because if you think about it what am i you know come on let's just be real you know i know it's crushing for my ego but just real talk what am i you know like i'm just a person that's just doing bloody youtube live streams cost free there's nothing you know there's nothing like why

what's the big deal because if you think about it all you have to do is not watch me but what it is is in me i fear i i feel that these people see as an entity not as an individual but as an entity a denominational entity they see in me their demise and i i feel that's what frightens them that they see that whatever

their whole thing it's dying death and it's that kind of the final pangs of death that kind of which is this kind of reaction that we then see i really do feel that and it's interesting you know i was thinking uh just the other day that why was i thinking this um

oh right that's it you don't like how [Laughter] when i said oh i wasn't feeling so well on the weekend and i was kind of like out of here and i was trying to rest and um and then somebody sent me a tweet by one of my haters [Laughter] dilly hi or dilly boy [Laughter]

complex in life so you know it's you know on a side no it's true though people who suffer from you know you know that kind of napoleon complex in life and especially if they're small in all the in all the wrong ways these people they they over compensate and you can see it you know in psychology they show you how to study the the kind of the the uh micro expressions the macro expressions you'll see the patternicity of behavior

kind of obsession for control for power and anyway right yeah so that's it yeah so i i read a tweet from uh right so and i just thought to myself that you know i remember thinking that wow like this guy is so obsessed with me yeah like and i thought why why like i don't understand like you know like what's the big deal like if you think about it this guy has been obsessed with me for something like i don't know six seven years like non-stop

and yes i deconstructed this whole caliphate thing and people who've obviously hezbol taharit and stuff like that that is the whole world and because in english if you think about it there was really nobody who spoke against this whole you know this caliphate obsession nobody honestly when i think it was it 2016 or 25th i can't remember now 2016 i think that i started kind of vocally condemning all this you know that there's no such thing in

islam as an obligation for a caliphate system and it really hurt people but then fine you know and so what you know muftiya laith is a deviant anyway and then i shared something about shaykh hamza yusuf saying you know he has something where he says it but he doesn't really go into the topic he just dismisses it and says it's a myth but then people say well sheikh hamza yusuf's you know he's lost the plot he's a seller blah blah blah and they say there's an ichima there's an each ma you know all the ulama so i am not aware of this of anybody other than me but maybe in in the

english-speaking world that is that uh i i brought out you see i said who do you think has disagreed with this malikis so i brought out the names of these legends you know these great uh huge scholars like from eleven hundred years ago these dawns of the maliki fit so there's no obligation in islam for this now that destroyed the consensus claim because up until today hizbah tahrir and all these things have not even been aware that any scholar has openly dismissed of the past this

caliphate thing especially that classical and i bring one and that too i bring a maliki and then within the uk there was this thing that i remember mentioning that uh you see because people are going to say well mufti is a deviant anyway so you have sheikh nadui and now he's huge and he is such a respected kind of dignified figure and senior figure in age and respect and position in islam within the uk and the west and he's known by you know by arab mahaya and other people and his commitment to hadith so i mentioned that sheikh akram nedui

also has said this i remember on my facebook post and that oh my god they tried to shut me down he's lying he's a deviant people like that are traditional islam people like that are traditional islam so i arranged a uh i kind of uh we had a seminar a presentation i i like to check me down i obviously contacted him phoned him said i want to do a seminar with you so he said cool uh i said i want to debunk these things jin possession demonic possession black magic

the prophet had magic done on him all these things so he said yep he said that's exactly me and i said to him sheikh i said there's also another thing i asked him beforehand i said i wanna also not that i wanna put this to you there as well is there a caliphate in islam uh i said would you be comfortable to answer that publicly because he said no there isn't there's no oblique i said but would you be comfortable because i don't want to be rude and out of character and just present it to you in the seminar um because people would feel you know that maybe you know it's just wrong it's not right and so he said i'm comfortable to say it in public you ask me i'll answer it so

i made a video now now we've got this whole presentation of such a dignified scholar arguing and clarifying there's no obligation so it really hurt people really hurt them they became obsessed and years later they're still going on but you know oh right the reason i mentioned this was because at that time i said you know what i said in my posts and comments i said that i get the fact that people today are still saying caliphate caliphate is global dominion

i said but give it what just four five years i said these younger people who are in their late teens will have i said that obviously five years from today they're going to be in the early 20s the younger lot will be in the late teens they will dominate and become the majority on social media and i said that in five years from today this whole discourse would have disappeared and it will be embarrassing for you people to to claim that we should rule the world dominion you know we should i said that you'd be embarrassed to say this even publicly

and if you go back five years people were they were actually saying it very probably and look today it's it sounds so dumb to say well you know what and that that's why i was just thinking that when i saw that i thought you know i said that didn't i that give it five years and people will be embarrassed to even make such a claim publicly because the muslims have changed the younger muslims don't buy into this kind of nonsense so there you go there you go see i was i should have gambled on it and i'm telling you give it five years from today

five years from today some of these very kind of neanderthal kind of like uh denominations will just be absolutely fossilized they'll either have to adapt or they'll just become fossils and that's one of the problems unfortunately with the the a lot of the the urban de institutions you see not as much the braves because the braves what they've done is in the last decade they've kind of um in their own way

become kind of contemporary to some extent like they've latched on to arab ulama they've changed the way they look they've kind of changed their style they've become kind of like a like in their own way stylish um you know the whole kind of moroccan vibe the syrian vibe they've kind of like absorbed that whereas first if you went back 15 years it was just this indoor pack they see see this sea uh and it wasn't gonna work here in the uk but i suppose with the sufi thing what brilliance kind of

did it you know it still it gave it life because they kind of like made it in a way where it's still has its kind of cool vibe to it um obviously they need a lot of work still because some of them a lot of them still haven't done that but there's enough personalities that have done that for islam to be still approachable for the younger people and unfortunately this is where a lot of the ubundis who were advanced in building madrasas in the uk or in the western world because they're the first people to have built such huge institutions but because they refused to

adapt give it five years from today and watch all of that you know if you continue to appear as this kind of like uh untidy um this kind of like you know kalahari bushmen i mean the kalahari bushmen seem you know if they came across the kalahari bushmen the kalahari bushmen would start studying them for anthropology they'd be like yeah i think we need to study these people realize the human journey [Laughter]

right jamal from australia you know this is just people because we're gonna obviously june ramadan not have monday nights we'll have other things but i feel that it's it's only right to share this love right so made me this is jamal from australia made me more rational and took me away from believing that literally everything is haram as made out to be this is another thing that really hurts people that why is everything not haram [Laughter] it hurts people that you know why does this guy make things halal i don't make things halal things are

halal by default i say that making something haram is so such a difficult task you know but people are trigger happy on the haramber you know i i saw this somebody sent me this clip of some i don't know who this person is but obviously condemning me and he said and this is something that they all say by the way they say watch this he will always say i think i feel in my opinion in my understanding [Laughter] and and and this is what they're attacking they're saying

see see he is the jal i i just don't get that because that's like i'm thinking that's actually how it ought to be because you ought to humble yourself that this whatever you're teaching is ultimately your understanding just be honest don't say this is god's understanding this is how god wants it say that this is how i understand that god would want this just humble yourself a bit but that arrogance is this this

is a you know one of the key stumbling blocks that unfortunately not just islam but many institutionalized religions have that people refuse to kind of like humble that self that i could be wrong because when i say to you look in my opinion in my understanding what i'm ultimately saying is you know this is my take this is how i see it i could be wrong

is there anything you want to let him know love you bhaijan ave i love you too salim from the uk would like to given me the freedom to think with my own rationale and not just believe in something because someone has a b someone with a beard told me to exactly exactly i love the fact that we can in this day and age you know we can once again take ownership of our own faith i we don't need this is not a you know a papacy we don't need to go through the pope information is online and nobody can stop it

so whether you want to learn or not but it is your deen nobody can chuck you out of it nobody can scare you away you know it's your deen as much as it is the next person's you know and people who have an obsession to chuck people out of god's faith those people you need to be aware of okay hani from the uk said he made me less fear god now the haters are going to love that but i i i i'm absolutely glad you said that and has turned it into a religion of love and better for me and others

uh people who say what it like to say to me is people who say you laugh too much probably look like pepe sad face personally love your humor and humanity must be honestly you've personally helped me and others tremendously with our faith if it wasn't for you mufti sad emoji may allah forever keep you guys smiling i you know this this whole thing of god is this figure who you are meant to be scared of

yes i grew up and in my early evening while studying islam that was the preponderance you know the preponderance view because that's what i was taught by everyone but if one thing i changed that changed gradually but if one thing there was and is that with its change my whole outlook on everything changed it was my concept of god in understanding that god isn't this kind of benevolent tyrant or dictator that we have totally misunderstood god

if that's how we think of him he's way too majestic for this kind of you know how people portray him like this angry like this kind of man in the sky who's like a kind of father figure i guess like from the victorian ages that this one where children you know are to be seen and not heard and where he kind of has this love for the child but he's a strict disciplinarian and he wouldn't you know flinch at kind of beating the child if he had to because that's how he shows love

and then also this figure but they also infantilize him so they almost at times turn him into like an infant who throws a tantrum gets angry easily he that is wallahi is a distortion of allah you know that that to me you know if if i if i was to only if that was the only picture of god then that for me cannot be god i cannot accept a god like that to to me i would not because to me that is not god i cannot worship something like that that is this kind of

um victorian father figure um that's just you know that's his because that that cannot be god who created this cosmos not for me not for me so you know if people want to worship that it's their life it's their choice but to me allah is rahman rahim he's somebody who says look just pondering the cosmos and let that sink so yeah and the laughter thing is is interesting because why do people hate laughter so much i i find that very fascinating as a discussion

and i think that you know people there's there's a few reasons one is that i think to some people who are sad but as in whether they're sad visibly or not or empty that it kind of makes reminds them of what they don't have i think there's that element definitely from a psychology perspective but they can they can just embrace it and also there's an element of for religion the problem with laughter for institutionalized religion

is it allows you to satirize things and you see the moment you satirize things you can question authority and that's a big problem for for for authority within see because if you can you see if you're allowed to make a joke out of something you will actually common people can actually see the stupidity in it whereas if you're being very serious the figure of authority can always control you quite well because they would see because they're speaking from a position of authority so as long as the discourse is always serious

everything is serious you it's almost like a losing battle and they get to sustain their authority but the moment humor comes in the problem with that is you can show things to be quite absurd and common people can actually relate to seeing absurdity so i feel that institutionalized religion has always hated uh humor because it's felt that humor hmm you know it's just this is something that if you allow it to enter the realm of religion authority will disappear and that's why

they fabricated all these hadith as well you know oh if you laugh so much your heart will become saddened and and all of this oh my god are things dying down here let me just switch this on one moment [Music] um [Music]

[Music] [Music] foreign right oh sorry i'm back i'm back i'm back i'm back i'm back i'm back i think uh something i i must have

knocked something out there but i fixed it i'm back uh one moment i hope this is helpful as well these kind of reflections i feel that it's good you know at times to just reflect over certain things and and obviously it's good to read your messages so just bear with me i will be coming to your questions as well right

from toronto canada right he has shown me the middle path like many people i was initially drawn into salafism but just got burnt out with all these hadith that are blasphemous to muhammad sallam and looked at quranism however that was just the extreme opposite of hadith dogmatism muftiji has shown weak how we can take ahaditha in accordance to the quran and it'd like to say us fans have him and his family in our prayers i know you're gonna get through this just fine [Laughter]

i'm absolutely alhamdulillah i'm fine i am fine i might just send this picture of you you can use it in your discord server and whatsapp stickers so all right i've got i'll look out for the picture man i'll look out for the picture jerry from the us says islam as a faith we believe is from god we should at least use our intellect when it comes to what our religion says because god is not dumb exactly exactly you know if there's a moment in life where you feel that you could actually understand things but it's it's almost like i get it it makes sense we could do this but but you know god

then at that point that's a wake-up call that you know you have you your your perception of god is i mean it's so low it really needs to be examined i want to let muftisaab know that he has really helped me in my journey after converting to islam made me laugh and answered many questions of mine i respect him for having the guts to speak up and show that islam is not your dad's religion to stand up against the people who blaspheme against the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam i can actually relate to mufti and inshallah i would like to meet him one day

and jerry you're welcome ma'am fly over to the uk as soon as calvin is over don't worry about it man we'll accommodate you so i can actually relate to him i have a lot to ask him but it it's not letting me submit super chats on the live streams for some reason [Laughter] reach out to me on insta inshallah mustafa i said in the words of emmanuel kant you have awoken me from my dogmatic slumber

most of us are young so we can feel the pain caused by not being in a position to join your fight the feeling of impotence and inadequacy to just sit here and watch injustice is truly depressing i'll make sure to shout you out at my nobel prize in physics acceptance speech inshallah inshallah may allah you know grant you that i mean i mean please make dua for me may allah make things easy for you hope to see you within the next decade yeah man come down come down shout lights all good and it's good that people are in such

diverse fields you know muslims that are physicists and astrophysicists and you know quantum physics specialists and muslims that are like kind of like this is so diverse in thought and so talented i i really love that phrase from sweden logical reasoning and using it to arrive at answers also to widen one view different to in to different interpretations and arguments never forget what you each day accomplish

wow mariam i see i recognize that murray i'm from australia you're doing it you're doing it it helps me to think twice on matters of the thing you're doing it keep doing what you what you love and know somebody out there like me appreciates you for sharing your knowledge and advice now this is an interesting one people this is the jal with the big d that's the name [Laughter] obviously the gel with the big d has said the way he looked at important topics and how he stood up to talk against the growing salafia group uh message haters gonna hate when people start hating it means you're starting to

influence people i definitely agree man and you know it's not about by the way it's not about speaking against a denomination per se it's more about the cult-like mentality you see if a person wants to be a selfie i have no problem i have no qualms i'm not gonna um just for being a selfie uh you know criticize someone but it's that dogmatic cultism that is the problem and whatever group a person belongs to if they have that that is the problem see that is suffocating religion and if they haven't realized

you know religion's already in a kind of coma state so thank you for making me motivated to become better and improve myself also teaching me more about islam have i knocked this thing out again on moment people one moment dico i was trying to see actually if there was a clip it wasn't on moment decor

all right all right all right i do apologize right i do apologize you know what it is people because i was kind of knocked out today and i normally i have all this stuff prepared so i don't know what's going on with the equipment right okay people i tell you what let's deal with some of your questions and i just want to say shukran for that message um it really is always great to hear from you guys honestly i know that uh with this last month

there's uh you know with all the kind of distractions and stuff there's a lot of you that i hadn't still got back to especially on the discord thing and so i've been in and out and not so you know just being distracted but i was hoping in shuttle last during ramadan to really use that time to kind of like to kind of inshallah let's let's jump in let's kind of catch up let's do a lot of stuff because there won't be monday nights during ramadan i will still be doing mine traps and sharing other things so that's all uh that's all good right uh

sakhir shukran shukran shukran much love much love much love this whole thing is going mad right i've got no idea what's going on over there uh my other account by youtube has been deleted right let me just one moment deco for defending you from thank you queen inaya rosalina thank you sweetie wishing you a blessed month of ramadan absolutely people absolutely uh that's to all of you why is ramadan in different seasons that's a very good question you know very good question

so i feel that look i have got a video clip on this by the way that i feel that um let's make sure this is you see ramadan in essence is it is it was static it wasn't kind of in flow the way it is now the islamic calendar in essence was a static calendar that's what i definitely i do feel i've got a whole video explaining that if you look up the word nasi and see the islamic calendar in essence was

a uh it was a kind of luna solar calendar nowadays it's just strictly a lunar calendar that was not what it was back then in the prophet's time so in the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's time so the lunar calendar was the same but it was based it was superimposed on a solar calendar and they used to do this by the kind of the scribes who were mainly jewish because they really led in all these things so they had a the

way we have today a leap year to make corrections every four years but they had and they still have it a system where it corrects itself but every 17 years i believe it was so they would add a month um called nasi now the c but when you add the nasi you can't just add it like every other year they had numbers on when they would add it so they would add it like i think it was first on the third year then on this like it'd be three years but then they would change the three into two at some point it'd be three three two

three two two something like that but once they hit 17 it would be perfectly realigned and what that would do is that would allow everything to remain perfectly static now in early islam that was still happening they were realigning it but what happens is i feel that maybe during the time of um because of so much ex you know expansion with the with islam and and the kind of the state the empire started it starts to massively kind of expand

it brings in the northern kingdoms um it starts to make ways into you know further west as well now during that time this nasi kind of administration wasn't being done and i feel that it's not that they you see because it wasn't really a priority it wasn't something that people were really thinking about because it wasn't something islamic it was just something people did but now that the world has become so large and all these things are going on these military expeditions and this and that and this and that that they just didn't really

weren't that mindful of it and then after them the people who come after them they also get slightly confused because there's a verse in the quran called now which is also talking about that month but it's talking about how people use it to cause mischief and mayhem but here people assume that you know what maybe that was something wrong and the fact that the calendar had been in free flow for a while they just let it go so what started to happen is the month started to rotate around the entire year so yeah so

and ramadan starts to be you know it is what it is it will go around the entire year but i don't think that um i don't think that was in the time of the prophet like that ramadan kareem of the mashallah can you publish a paper on why the hadith oh right that that question i've already seen that one

um right i'm just trying to see what questions i've missed share limitations on limitations of in light of quran um right happy ramazan mufti saab likewise likewise happy ramadan right so um limitations of nerdy darwah the najdi dawa is just a cultish you know it's just a it's a cultish puritanism that's all it is

but it has recently um you know being reinvigorated by petrol dollars that's all so if let's say saudi arabia did not discover oil the way it did the salafi that one would probably have just died to death um but with the petrol dollars it became like obviously it flourished i mean it doesn't flourish in numbers so the majority of the muslim i mean the outright of salafia are probably what

like if i'm to be honest three percent of the entire muslims maybe is that a stretch you know i wouldn't even think that they constitute three percent i think that's like a big i actually believe i'm being generous when i say that three percent even but the issue is the selfie thought in some fields has a huge influence just because of the internet so people who are not really selfie don't like selfies even when they google questions the salafi dawah dominates the islamic internet

so in arabic i think salafi dawa dominates probably i don't know maybe like uh believe it or not maybe like 85 to 90 percent of everything in arabic about islam is probably going to be from selfie sources and that's not because there are so many it's just because everybody else has not been doing anything uh and they're so under like so maybe a lot of ulama have written books but you know how does that make it on google and how they need and you and you might say well they've got a little blog somewhere

but that blog won't be picked up by google they need these q a channels they need these q a websites they need you know they need to put a bit of money into it to make sure it kind of ranks just the way the saudi scholars have done it but they've been doing it from the 2000s so they're ahead of the game and what happens is a lot of people just cut and paste what they say and and they're not selfies so they may just be regular arabs who you know say oh let me look this up so they and you know they just see it and it says q a and they just get the answer and paste it on the chat and now that comes up even though

so this chat forum is a secular almost chat forum but it will still carry selfie answers in english uh or other languages online they probably dominate about 50 percent of the discourse so it's massively disproportionate so yeah but in the real world they're very few people very few tiny masjids and tiny but yeah but the influence spreads surreptitiously so it's like they may influence people because people may go online don't you know

they're not selfie themselves they don't may not even like selfies but that's the only answer they find so they start to believe and like this there's a gradual but it's not necessarily so dangerous but it's just a gradual influence who's this gita you see look listen as i've said before

people who you know people who need to talk about me just to get views right these kind of people who if if if they happen to also be extremist hate you know hate preachers at the same time you know then with these people all you do is just mock and block

because then they become obsessed and and to be fair also there's an understanding that look you know it's very clear that they nobody will watch them unless they talk about me so there's a huge the drive as well for them is just to get viewers so that's one thing the other thing is that you know when people are that hateful uh that kind of vile and cancerous and it's like you just mock them and block them and then they are hooked on you

[Laughter] they will not be able to get you out of their head i mean they will just and that and in that is is their kind of consequence because you know i'm telling you forget the any of these people years from today they will still be kind of like just burning with hatred about me and and this is it's similar in in a weird way you see it's a bit like like x like like the kind of like hateful x syndrome

except f for the love of god i don't know why these guys develop it with me but it becomes that because what happens is you see you see these people become obsessed by the fact that okay one clearly maybe not in all x syndrome cases where but here you clearly mock them for who they are and then you block them and they crave attention and they they need that and and the fact that you don't give it to them then they will monitor your every move they will watch you you know so so religiously and they will

um they'll become obsessed that you will consume their soul [Laughter] so and i say i don't know you know it's it's like it's like a you could call it a curse i have that you know whether it's a blessing or a curse that first of all people either just love me or they hate me and the haters especially they get hooked on me honestly they probably contribute so many of my viewership

is because they have to religiously you know they are so they can't help it they they are addicted to me [Laughter] oh my god it's it's it's it's so amusing to watch at times but it is what it is and and i and i i say this openly you know that they they shouldn't take this addiction lightly i mean i don't mind it helps my viewership but this is going to burn them for years they will not be able to get over me i mean look at the example i gave

earlier on its fools will be hooked on me for like it's like seven years six years five and i i don't even i've never met these people i don't engage with them i don't you know there's nothing there but still they will be so yeah i kind of take it as a compliment i take it as a compliment but i i do feel that whoa this you know what is this man like i have this power to to get to people get so hooked on me that they can't get off it and it's worse when they're haters because they just

it's like i'm like heroin to them [Laughter] honestly that's actually what i'm like to them because the way heroin destroys someone then i just seem to passively just because they become so consumed with me and so much hatred it just consumes them don't worry about it man just live life chill man don't worry about it man and i have to say as well which maybe not with all but with a uh with several amount of them there's there's an element of jealousy which then contributes to that kind of ruin

because you know to a lot of these people as well they crave that you know because they because they want a following they want a uh you know they want people to like them as well they want people to to just hear them and they they want this as well [Laughter] and some of them i think look if you weren't such such a hateful person you should just told me yeah i'll bring you on one of my shows but this is it this is it let's move on people

all right what's going on right i'm i gotta just refresh oh right here it is yeah early muslims had less knowledge empirical and scientific knowledge and thus have less accuracy in the interpretations and truth so we must reinterpret and reform according to empiricism i'm not so sh the way i i wouldn't really say that what i would say

somebody's saying i'm a big fan of mufti but i'm disappointed i live to disappoint ya that's my style you know as far as the jesus debate thing is concerned yes all of those questions uh most of them have already been answered in uh my address to shaykh there's probably what like about you've got about five hours of watching the so you'll actually find most the questions answered and there's a few things still left in the shaykh thing which i haven't yet got to which i will be doing so this topic of jesus

that's pretty much all answered and there is some still because i when i began my disclosure with the big d i listed many things i haven't done them all yet but inshallah those i'll do as well because i do want that to be a whole series but that is addressing obviously the video that sheikh hasadhi made because you see look there's people out there like shaykh the other people as well who you know i think have done some disappointing work unfortunately at times but to be fair they do have content you know they they are who they are for themselves

and they're not hate preachers you know they're not people who uh whether they have certain things within them or not but they they don't generally for the most part go around just being subsumed by calling people cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe people like that you know those people you just mock and block that's it you don't dignify those people because they crave and then they then they die for your attention people like that are extinct you know like i said you know you give movements like that five years

they won't even really exist but shaykh assad obviously is a man of you know he does have substance he does have his own views obviously i feel that he's he's kind of really struggling to be honest with him with what he truly has within and at the same time maintain his following so he's kind of going about it in a very you know difficult way obviously if i was in his i i've got a whole video explaining that my thoughts on sheikh hassan journey if i was him i would just come out

straight as i am i would just say look listen this is me these are my views and people may leave me but others will then come to me based on honesty and transparency and i think that's still his biggest struggle uh this fareed guy made a whole trailer about you and when i see when i search your name on twitter it's just this guy complaining about you he must secretly be in love with you [Laughter] there is you've hit it on the head you

know the truth is that these people are obsessed obsessed with me honestly they they are really and and this is where i say that you know to my haters unfortunately i'm like heroine because [Laughter] and i say this in in the nicest of possible ways that you know by all means you know dying be my guest but you it will consume your life and the more you watch me the more it will be debilitating for you because you know it unfortunately i i think i

don't know whether that's a curse or what but it just it is like that you know i find it like that and and they won't go away not for years for years for years they will just burn and burn and you see the the funny thing is there's these delusions of grandeur because you know this cancel culture like people think oh let's cancel must have late it's like i said last time you know if i if i sneeze

we'll make a a kind of video or i'll make a tweet saying i'm going to end bulay's career [Laughter] but you see what these are delusions of grandeur they don't wield any such influence like i mean how do you even think like i i don't get what they think you know their worldview they must think i don't know like how do how does anybody cancel someone you know this attempt let's cancel him that's just so delusional

it's like well okay well first of all how do you cancel me i'm an independent person yes okay so okay secondly my following or people who watch me are not your audience so you know i don't preach to the converted i don't preach to the dogmatists who follow them so your followers canceling me it makes zero difference to me because i preach i kind of spread my message to the common muslim that silent 80 percent of people who are just regular muslims and they don't follow people like you

know these kind of wahhabis and stuff they don't follow them they don't they can't relate to these kind of people these people come across just looking at these people you know like i mean it's just so embarrassing okay some are you know slightly more tolerable than others but some are just like come on if you had to bring somebody like that as a representative of your faith you'd be embarrassed to death so yeah i mean i don't understand how people feel that they the fact that they actually think they can cancel someone [Music] it's so delusional and the fact that i

my message is actually spreading even more yeah you know my message to to you all seriously is if i can if i can tell you that you know these are certain this is one thing you must do in life honestly it would be that i would say that try to have lived your life so you know so once you've reached the end you have lived your life in a way that as to the best of your capacity

you have tried to not be like as far as you can control that you have avoided being two things one hurtful and one hateful i think you know if you have managed to live a life not being or attempting or trying at least not to be these two things that you have lived a successful life in this dunya that honestly as far as being a human being is concerned that is your islam

validated as long you know you have lived to the best of your capacity to not be hurtful and not be hateful these things are important and that does not mean by the way not to dislike things disliking things are fine you know you don't you dislike something i dislike it there's a lot of these people i dislike them because of what they do because of this stuff i honestly don't hate them this is the shocking thing i think this baffles them [Laughter] on a personal level i do not hate them at all

yeah i mean i don't like them because of what they do but you know i don't have like because it's it it taxes the soul to hate someone it's actually quite a demanding task so yeah so people like gangutili that is so and all of these guys that they become hateful and so you know it weighs in on their soul and it kind of consumes and eats away so and religion faith should not do that to you if you say i have allah in my life i have islam in my life then you should not be a hateful person

truly speaking i have somebody said invite them on to mine trap i have invited them onto my trap i've invited shaykh aldi onto mind trap i've invited a baba fareed onto mind trap i've said i'd love to have a discussion on bukhari gate with him i've invited most my haters danny why i've invited him on to mine trap i invite most almost anyone that initially put something out about me and i respond to them i will always do so by offering a dialogue saying look come and i make it very clear that i will be respectful yeah i mean

if they be are just like extremist hate preachers catholic having catholic catholic catholic catholic catholic catholic you know that's not dialogical that's not the kind of person that you know has any um you know just any dignity left in them so i'm not interested in inviting i don't know an isis extremist on mine trap for example i'm not interested in just having a hateful person sit there and just go what you care food curfew i'm not interested in those people i'm interested in people who still have

uh who still have an int an intellect but people like sheikh hassan is obviously very intelligent people like even daddy why are actually very intelligent i've said this publicly so many times i've said that but i'm shocked how they are so dogmatist you know people even fareed gangutili is you know he's obviously intelligent he's not he's it's just the wahabi thing has consumed them but i'm more than happy for these people to come on minecraft i extend that i always extend invites i've even said that you know about somebody to come defend the salafi

akida an imam so my invites are always there and i think that hurts people even more that i have mind trap because before they would like to say that people would like to say that oh mufti just runs away from things i've never ran away from anything and now that i have a show i just straight away say hey come on my show and then they said we don't talk to deviants any we don't talk to deviants

yeah no when i'm saying these people look clearly these people are you know they're not that when i say these people have intellect they clearly do i mean there's no they they have talent but they've obviously be joined a cult so that what that does is it puts blinkers on you but you can see that they're not you know they're not stupid people but they've just wanna you know they have to follow the cult

once the selfies are gone what would musti do with his life shook him for the super chat uh you see i don't feel dogmatism will go i don't feel it will unfortunately because religion with a capital r an institutionalized religion

has dogmatism in its very bones okay to survive and it's done a hell of a good job surviving the problem has been that the voice of reason has been entirely absent almost or drowned and recently it's starting to come back to life so i don't feel dogmatism will die but i feel and i'm you know that's not what i'm trying to do because i think that may never happen that's not my fight my fight is to ensure that the voice of reason two is also alive so people can choose

that's all yes musty look drained yeah i i i told you that i you know these past from the weekend i wasn't feeling too well and i kind of just been trying to rest it out and today i did have some life back in me so i went to the gym but my whole schedule was on its head and so yeah i was a bit rinsed and then i was kind of dazed so yep well spotted well spotted elias are from yeah but you

i don't know what this says right okay so right so dr abdulmajid did do a good job at refuting my points there you go there's a clear hater look i actually have love for dr abdul majid i actually do i have uh respect for him in my heart and i thoroughly enjoyed our conversation i don't think uh in my perspective

perspective that dr abdul majid successfully uh tackled the points of bukhari but i am glad he at least came to the discourse and you know said his peace i'm really glad he did that and if some of you watch that and you feel that you know oh we hated mufflates buhari gate and now that you know somebody has tackled him and you find solace in his answers fine i mean i i to be honest his answers were just generally um

saying that if i was to sum up his answers i do have a video summing it up but to sum it up his answers were uh in essence i would feel you could summarize them to saying well i i am okay with sahil bukhari because other scholars have been okay with it so you know i accept that you have these views but because other scholars have been okay with it i'm okay with it and i'm okay with you having this view but i'm i think that kind of just summed up the entire you know if you were to just you had to

put the powers into one sentence it would just be that because otherwise when i began i mentioned that i will be approaching this from i and i i quoted the poet poe and i said like from a phenomenological perspective and ontological perspective and an epistemological perspective and i break those down into what they are and i begin the discussion by saying will you first of all tell me is your take that bukhari's katahi or is it zanny and you know the moment you begin just that question kills the

debate but obviously the problem is a lot of people who watch this aren't familiar maybe with technical terms so they don't fully appreciate what's just happened because once you say it's it's conclusive as the quran right you have kind of lost already and if you say it's hadith actually are which means that you know it's it has obviously we can't say it's as conclusive as the quran it's not been transmitted like that then you admit by default that there is a margin of doubt in this

even if you say it's doubt which i'm happy to ignore but it's still doubt and and then you go into the actual discussion so my discussion on the transmission of bukhari wasn't tackled at all i don't in that discussion when you watch it i don't even think uh in that part there was any it was just me explaining and and i think we just moved on then there was no because what can you say i'm actually breaking down how it was transmitted and the differences what can you say to that what can you say no it wasn't because i actually say if you disagree with these version

of historical events provide yours i'll listen to it but you and everybody who studied bukhari and its historicity knows this because this is the history of it and and that key point that how can such a big thing rest on the shoulder of one man for every who is unvouched for is a huge huge huge problem for really you know this for sunni dogmatists it's a huge problem which they choose to ignore and was if this was any other religion they would have crushed this point that how can you

rest your entire thing on the back of one man you know if this was christianity they would have gone to town on this point but obviously because of you know being biased for them they just ignore it but that's such a huge claim and then when we went into the actual um you know the ontological nature of it and looked at the topics within bukhari and the blasphemy and the disrespect to prophets and god and all of this stuff and even factual errors like my discussion with the mistake in the hadith of israel that even all the scholars themselves say this is a mistake

[Laughter] i i'm really grateful to dr abdul majes for having that discussion with me because one allowed me to have that discussion with an imam because no imam tildate has had the courage to accept my discussion on it to even accept a dialogue you know people will they they're just too intimidated they are way too intimidated because they know they don't have the research and they and they know that they will be they they won't be able to provide any answers so they're too embarrassed um but i'm really grateful he did that

and we actually walked away having more respect for each other that's how i feel i i walked away having you know much more respect for him so yeah um right back to companions at best we have nothing that goes by outside one of the narration it's all companions i'm not sure what that means john but yeah sure what do i think of dr adnan ibrahim i think dr adnan ibrahim

is is amazing you know he's somebody he obviously is a proponent for the voice of reason in the arabic speaking world today and i love that and he's in europe and you know may allah bless him and preserve him because i you know he's somebody he i mean i'm sure a lot of his message is just very similar to my message i'm sure i i don't watch him religiously unfortunately i need to but i don't but now and then a clip may come up on youtube and i may watch it um and it's usually just

very similar to the stuff i say so he's probably like in i don't know an an arabic speaking um more much you know more serious arabic speaking version of me because he's always doing it in the masjid and he and he's also very uh um you know really i don't know how to describe it really because he is very serious and he's always about look you know taqwa and iman and he's like what a real imam ought to

be like you know a real imam in islam ought to be like that you know he reminds you to be god conscious he reminds you to do things and he's very serious at the same time and he's uh very presentable very knowledgeable so i i do i i definitely do love him right mufti abu leith my bless you and your family wherever you are you are soren

much love to you as well may allah bless you and forever keep you smiling um funny child marriage is still legal in a lot of western countries including secular france they base uh puberty and parent permission being necessary right uh not exactly i think what you're saying is a it's twisting facts okay i i strongly feel you're twisting facts or you've misunderstood them and i've got a whole explanation of this

stating that you see there is a difference between the age of consent for uh for sexual intercourse between countries but there's there's like a reasonably stable margin okay now some people may have it slightly one year ahead one year below so usually in a lot of these countries it's like 16 um and some countries may have it one year below they may have it 15 some countries may have it i mean usually i don't think they go over 16 some countries in some parts of the world do they go to 18 some countries actually have it as 21 i think but which is

but still uh and then they have something called a like in the uk it's called a romeo and juliet clause um which is that sexual intercourse if it did happen under that age so if it was under let's say so in the uk being 16 but if it happened when somebody was 15 or 13 but the people involved if they are of a similar age and they were in a relationship so let's say at secondary school a boy and a girl or boyfriend and girlfriend and then along the way they engage in a sexual relationship

then they feel that they don't necessarily consent to it as in legal as in the law doesn't necessarily state that this is fine but what it states is that it's not in the public interest to prosecute these these children so uh and i believe they they put that under the romeo juliet clause and there's a similar thing in most of european countries so it's not the same as saying here's a you know you get a grown man and you get a child it's not like that okay uh so just to be clear on those things so and i've mentioned before that it's a

shame that imams uh are so shaky on this matter there needs to be a strong unified voice in condemning it and nobody says these ridiculous things like nine-year-olds and stuff like that that is just sick okay [Music] um all right so right there you go so all right what's going on let me follow up on some of these comments ramadan kareem mufti everyone blessings are upon us shukra and sugar and sugar and

uh right so what's going slavery was not wrong by nature you're just lying bro [Laughter] all right i lied tikka get a life you know people like that you see this is the problem with people isn't it that if they feel that slavery there's nothing wrong with it you know i feel sorry for these people wallahi i pity them i pity them now

right okay okay cool let me take a look at some of the facebook questions because i've been so just right all right all right put his version up what's this six hours i don't know what the six hours are about for one thing useful to display the problematic mindset and the reasoning of the dogmatists much appreciated are you i've just taken a look there right i don't know you ignore this

[Laughter] my dearest apologies i'm you know you have to kind of you have to bear with me today i've not been 100 here so what is going on what is going on then facebook people post your questions let me see post your questions people clear you're doing it you're doing it much love much love right i tell you what facebook people post your question what i'm going to do is let me just this is i'm just going to push this cable and just

one moment deco i come back i don't know this whole see this is what happens when you decide

to take a nap to be fair it's only because i was a bit still dazed right people facebook people let's take a look at some of your questions man what's going on what's going on what's preoccupying your precious thoughts right so fushi this is a shout out going out to fuji you're doing it fushi you're doing it much love much love right i gotta say fushi seriously see this is the love and support you guys give it means a lot it does it does honestly

um some of you guys are just too awesome honestly right i've been following your talk ons and streams on mind trap will you be able to invite brother shabir yusuf on your mind trap uh you won't be disappointed i okay i don't know who he is but if you can ask him right so people i invite are usually people who are interesting and interested so you can ask him and you can get in touch with me and

sure i'm not sure who that is by the way um all right fuji says you got it yeah [Music] you're doing it fushi you're doing it honestly you're doing it see this is this this is where you this is the kind of hope that beams out of europe people all right so let me now check some other questions if i had you rock our world you doing it fat

you're doing it honestly right [Music] so see if all right at what point does one's rationale take precedence in light of paradigm shifts in knowledge over textual proof that's actually a very good question um right so right so that's actually uh you know i like that question i have tackled it before but i think it's incredibly

important right now right so the thing is that people who are just trolling uh you can mock and block people mock and block right so hmm faith is built on reason it must always be based on reason now people do highlight that you see there is a point where reason um you know it like there must be a starting point

unquestionably so because you can't base reason on reason and i get that i get that but that does not mean you base things now on a lack of re that's just dumb i get it's a valid point you know if somebody it's a valid point and i've made this point before that look um it is true that there is there comes a point where you have to just

accept like if you incredibly reduce everything then how does one justify reason you can't justify it by itself so that is true so you just accept reason why do you accept reason because it is the only thing we have in this world to go by between people for anything in this world that we reason so once you accept the building block then everything after that ought to make sense or at least you try to make sense of it

to say well look i i want texts or scripture to come first is it's an amazing statement i i value the statement because you but what it is it's a misunderstanding like you're confused okay you're very confused as a person but i i appreciate the love that you're trying to give to the textual sources but it's just your statement is nonsensical you know you i get it i get it you're trying to show love

but you know so for that you know that's that's nice but it's actually a dumb statement because you can't understand anything without the brain do you understand you can't like so to say that oh i wanna like so like you want to take a particular oh not just a book but actual scripture you want to take scripture but scripture has to be read for it to be ready as to make sense semantically for it to make sense he has to rely on a vocab for it to rely on a vocab it has to rely on context

for it to rely on context it has to there is applied linguistics taking place applied linguistics naturally it takes place through the sapio warfian hypothesis as demonstrated within psychology but because these people are too dumb to understand this kind of stuff they think that they somehow have unadulterated non-human god understanding of texts and that that's just delusional

all perception and sensation is based on the human interpreting it it's based on interpretation so whether you like it or not you are already interpreting something so you are already applying your akal and your intellect without even knowing that you're applying it so this is the problem so you this is why this question as romantically put as you know it's it's nice that you're trying to say look i love scripture above me

which is nice but to say i so basically what you're saying is i choose that i choose that but remove me and my brain out of the picture but then that what does what is that like what does that mean because scripture is meaning and meaning requires a mind to understand the meaning so let's say we all read one verse we're going to understand it differently we may understand it differently so whose meaning do we go by and then you say well we'll go by what the books have put down

but then you forgot because you haven't bloody studied any psychology in your life you've forgotten the concept of discourse analysis you've forgotten how people even subconsciously manipulate uh features how power dynamics play a huge role the concept of agency the concept of interpretative repertoires i mean you've never even you don't even understand these things so to explain them to you would you not have to put you through a course of psychology so the problem with this discussion is it's like a layman arguing with a doctor a medical doctor

about something medical medicinal and just because he doesn't understand it it's like he's saying yeah but these pills look just like those pills so why are they different why would this make a difference to me but he doesn't have a background in medicine doesn't have a background in chemistry doesn't have a background in science it's it's difficult to explain to these people these things because they're coming at it from such a you know uneducated perspective that oh i like scripture and that's a nice sentiment i like that but the fact that you even said that shows to me how okay

that this is way above your grade of even understanding comprehension you're not going to even grasp it let alone like you don't even you can't that just shows to me you haven't even understood the true question this is why hypnotamia you know even and these people are a product of people like hypnotamia you see really begins in those centuries this you know this hadith dogmatism really gets shaped in those kind of centuries of islam the 7th century eighth century onwards uh you start to get the likes of ibn hajj alaska ibn salah before him you're gonna get hypnotamia

the habi even and you know all these people it is this mindset that starts to kind of germinate and it then you know for a while i mean it spreads for a while it kind of dies a little death uh then with colonialism it ironically comes back because with colonialism and this once again because people haven't bloody studied any psychology i wish they would you'd understand how the human psyche works that once a person is you know once religion is attacked so harshly

people tend to turn fundamental they don't become rational so if you start hammering criticizing somebody's religion but then also at an equation of instability and fear so you see like colonialism obviously they tipped the entire scale and people's lives were jeopardized and people were tortured and and at the same time religion was attacked people will just dig deeper into becoming fundamentalists they will not become rationalists that's not how the human

brain works even standard very mild studies have shown like even studies in america several uh social studies have demonstrated that if that during times of uh that during times of instability more people become conservative and they will vote for republicans and things like this because they feel a social unease they feel an instability and it's during times of social stability that people become more liberal their

social studies have demonstrated this let alone when you take it to an nth degree and add violence and all these kind of things and attacking religion people become fundamentalists this is why at the beginning of the 20th century religions worldwide became fanatics not just islam even christianity because they faced this threat incognito much love for the super chat much love right yeah dmx has gone you know i i saw that there was a clip i did actually think i wouldn't mind sharing it but uh i don't have it here but

uh you see i feel it's actually the reason i actually thought about his clip was because he says some lines in it i don't know if i have it on um this phone here actually if i do i can i don't listen too much of this uh you know i'm not up to date with all the rap kind of thing but i feel that first of all when any person who has made an impact on the lives of people has died you know it's it's it's it's kind of like a solemn reminder isn't it it's how the prophet salallahu stood up

when they carried that jewish lady and people were surprised you know and they said that you know yeah rasool allah this is this is you and that's a uh you know that's she's not a muslim and he said but it's a soul and this is how it because it impacts people isn't it and it's humanity so i do feel that there is that um kind of thing and he's clearly touched the lives of many people you know he clearly did and so there was a clip it's just like i think two three two lines just a couple of seconds really

i'll see if i can get it up here it might help actually um and i thought what what was being said was uh quite i don't know all right i'll see if i can bring the actual clip up um let's see one moment people it's not just the stuff that he's saying it's not just the stuff they say you're subscribing that's sorry that's my beloved daily hating on someone who says crap like that what you

said [Music] in the sense let's see [Music] wow i thought that was very powerful and you know may allah allah make easy's afterlife i mean i mean for anyone who dies you know something

don't have this reluctance to think well no you can't why should i say a dua for someone who was not a muslim or you know somebody that however they were like if they lived a life that influenced that touched positively the lives of many people whether they did other things or whatever they weren't muslim but you know ultimately everybody is god's creature and allah you know we do not have monopoly of god we do not have monopoly of the afterlife or salvation and we just think that

so long you know for so long we think we somehow are the lucky you know god chosen people why what have you actually done just been born in an you know in a particular family what makes you think that that and the fact that you are so narrow-minded you know goes to show to me speaks volumes to me that surely you cannot be you know echoing the voice of god yeah all right so yeah music is fine i've got a video based on that music is not haram somebody said

ahmad said dmx is amazing of you know in our time i just heard you know like of course uh i have in the past you know obviously i've come across certain things but i'm not so into that scene but i know he has a huge presence and i saw the this clip and i just thought wow these words they did well they just so they so hard hitting that hit take a look again yeah let the haters burn look at the lyrics like

we have to do is recognizing it what you do everyone who sees it will be blinded see like that lesson that we each have a star all we have to do is find it wow that is so i find in that echoes clear echoes found within the message of islam that you know that a person has to strive that there is something written there for you but just don't give up on finding it and and when you do find it you will shine in it and i thought that that was so powerful um

yeah so somebody said music is haram you must live a miserable life then uh right but he's right so okay i don't know people commenting about somebody hip-hop all right so what is going on people what is going on with the the spiritual centers in our bodies real some people use them to make their souls travel into the spiritual

world through thicker what are your thoughts much love um right the life something that some sufi turk speak about which in some ways are similar to the kind of chakra points um in other like hindu meditative practices also i think these are things through kind of just like trial and error that people have developed and and maybe it worked for them to have that they felt that certain energies can be kind of brought in the way you'll have chi and i'm i don't know maybe some of these things you know if you dedicate yourself to

developing them that they work i definitely do feel that the human being beyond the body at the level of consciousness that is a whole nother level of complication that we that we have not even we haven't even read let alone understand we haven't even got to that stage yet and i just i do wonder how does consciousness how and to me consciousness isn't just con consciousness is the rule to me how does that even work and i wonder from that world how the world

looks you understand it's a bit like i wonder i don't know you know and i and i think that from that perspective yes meditation may definitely work um definitely may and there may be certain like you know breathing because obviously the way you breathe and regulate your body you can impact the way the kind of brain the brain activity now i'm not saying the brain is the rule is consciousness but the brain is definitely what connects us to consciousness so

you know it does have certain modalities but i don't know i don't know in other ways you could just you could take a special something and go on a journey but but that is only for those of the path [Laughter] um people say that might be the soul leaving or something yeah i feel that um the

somebody right okay let me i'll come to your question um i feel that yeah the soul i don't know about leaving i feel the soul is never in the body anyway in that sense that people think like people think the soul is a ghost kind of figure inside you i've never understood it like that uh to me it's more that the body can connect to consciousness so i believe in a kind of like a non-local consciousness but we pick it up it's like how the handset picks up the signal and it picks up and and it can operate and it can do everything

and um you know it can have it can download movies and where are these movies you know they're just in the year isn't it it's just wi-fi and but it can do all of this obviously certain frequencies but they're invisible to us so i feel in many ways we are the same and the roar is something out there but we with our brain can connect to it so we're kind of connected to our particular take but then there's almost like a social network of this consciousness i feel um and then maybe that taps into another

stream of consciousness ultimately which ultimately kind of came from god into adam but i feel that this um yeah and this is what allows people to have a connect without having a physical connect like i feel that you know the hadith says that that if the soul that the souls are kind of bright they're kind of grouped in together and those that knew each other before that they will always have a harmony in

in this world i feel that that was kind that's what it's kind of referring to and yeah and i feel sometimes you can create a bond as well in this world that kind of connects the consciousness as well and hence people who uh are very close to each other whether it's through family or loved ones sometimes have this bond that they you know that and and the communication that happens at this is it's very it's low level communication so it's not like you can send hey meet me tomorrow at seven o'clock

it's not like that but what it can do is it can trigger so uh it can it can i feel people can sense something like they sense danger for someone or they sense anxiety or they suddenly remember someone after not having thought about them for years suddenly um it's all above probability these things and i feel it's to do with that connection so yeah that's the and and i do think as well that maybe during sleep something happens you know during

uh paradoxical sleep rem i feel that because the brain becomes so active during rem it's as active as you are now if not sometimes even more active which is crazy because for most of the brain cycle that the brain activity drops until it gets really low when you're in deep sleep and then for rem for about 60 seconds it goes so mad and you know then it just once again goes really low and what is it that the brain's doing at that time and i feel is that i don't know like is that the time that i don't know consciousness kind of connects

in it it has this kind of bio uh not bio this kind of bi-directionality feedback loop because if you think about it the zeitgeist and the feel of an age it's not something you know contrary to what people think it's not actually something you just learn people just change they they feel like people today accept that slavery is wrong people today will accept certain things are just wrong whereas even a few decades ago they may not have what is it that changed people say well there's been more advertising

like people today accept racism is wrong even though this racist bigots out there but but even they don't like to be called racist because they think you know they they too deep down except racism is wrong whereas a couple of decades ago people didn't even accept that is it just simply education now education obviously has helped but i feel that it's almost as though the collective consciousness has changed but yeah uh who is ashik ra

um right she's 100 years each and every one of us will be forgotten from this world maybe not maybe not mufti tell me how to do russell properly all right there was a question about is it true that uh grant was sorry the grand ustad of imam bukhari made the fear of imam malik mufti the grand stadt of imam buhari made right i'm not sure of any

person making take fear of imam malik like that not sure of that i've never come across it but i know there's been people they were the odd person who you know disagreed with imam ali that would have been more so in his time because this person that you're saying i don't know who you're saying but if he's a teacher of imam bukhari then he's way after imam malik so i don't think anybody after malik would have done it but even if somebody did it so what what's the big deal you know people today

call you know these people calling everybody a calf it isn't there like what's the big deal i'm not familiar with it but even if they did so what like you know i mean are you even have you even made any waves unless somebody's called you a cafe [Laughter] you know because in imam alex time one i know like some or maybe like one or two of his teachers were they didn't you know because some people were dogmatists as well obviously they were dogmatists

back then as well so uh so like people like ibn abi the of medina who i suppose if you want to say is a teacher of imam malik then yes of course but he's a contemporary he obviously didn't agree with imam malik but imam malik would take hadith he'd take his from anyone i mean you know teach hadith as well so if you had a hadith that was worth collecting he would collect it but then he would sift through it now it gonna be there had an issue with imam malik saying that this is the sahaya deeth and we don't act according to it

and that really used to you know make his that that if nobody's blood boil on certain matters so there are some harsh statements that he said about imam malik but he was a contemporary i if i'm correct i think he was even older in age than imam malik if i'm correct um now if i if i remember correctly so i think he made some harsh statements as in harsh as in you know uh like how today extremists will make it that you know he should repent otherwise he should be killed you know like that kind of statement about imam malik but so what

you know what's the big deal great right so thoughts on ibn rush's double truth theory it's not double truth but i totally agree with all of that and i've got videos explaining it that i do believe that there are dimensions [Music] to to the message right this paradigms this dimensions dimensionality of uh you know of of of the divine message so now

what i mean by that oh i suppose not if we don't say it as divine message but we say as of the message because the sharia is not really the divine message per se it's an interpretation of what the divine message or we think is saying so what ibn arush had said is that and i totally agree with that he said that in this world not everybody is a philosopher not everybody is a deep analytic critical thinker not everybody is capable of you know profound evaluative thought and he says that in fact

the overwhelming majority of people are not which is you know pretty factual it's not something he's saying which is harsh so what he said is that it's like i don't know now how the classrooms in schools work but years ago when i used to teach um they used to have like so you've got mixed ability and you would have people who are special needs so they would call them like sen i don't know now and then you would have gifted and talented they would call them back then g and t then you'd have the majority in the class who also are on a spectrum like you know it's not

everybody's not equal in their ability to grasp things and some people are incredibly talented and this is sometimes within a certain class i know you have certain whole in schools you have certain obviously you have tears and people but within certain classes they were like this so what you had to do was you had to set your task as a teacher in a way that would begin by taking in this the the kind of lower ability pupils students it had to be begin by taking them in and it had to really be aimed at the average

but incorporating the lower and the gifted and talented were expected to be able to achieve more so there would be certain things within that that they could do based on their ability but you would never set the lesson in accordance to them you would always set it that it would start by incorporating the lowest ability and then so as to take in the the middle so in a similar way now that's years ago i don't know the whole teaching thing may have changed now but ibn roost is arguing that sharia is very

similar the sharia is not aimed at the gifted and talented people that it's actually aimed at the special needs it's based from them and it's taking in the common man who he says the common man in his day and age which still today is just preoccupied with in surviving and making a living so he says you know these people need to go out they need to go farming they need to do this they need and these people need structured religion for it to make sense because they're not gonna you know because he says really god wants you to contemplate

over him and appreciate and do this but you can't ask people to do these non-tangible things as you can ask them but you can't make that be the religion because most people are at an abstract level are not going to be that that person they're too too worried on like i need to make sure the crops have grown i need to do this and they're not actually you know they're just people who get by they're not creative minds they're not i mean maybe they're creative in their own way but they're not deeply philosophical so he says that the sharia has been highlighted to really cater for these people

and allah has set it in a way that those who are gifted and talented will figure out the deeper coding themselves and i agree with that one hundred percent [Laughter] because he says that those people who are that those who are the people of just as in that work you wouldn't change the task you would just allow that you would know that the gifted and talented would be able to do just different things with it uh and they would so that's how he says that sharia works so he says the reason

this whole net has been designed to be able to capture everyone so from the bottom up so the fact that it's had a structure that you pray that we have five prayers a day that we do this we give visible things okay go to hajj do this do this do this this is how we focus this is how we set out things because it's for the common man and he says that and religion needs this because the common person needs structure in their life and they they you can't just give them abstract you know intellectualism that in fact it would fail

with vast majority of mankind he says because they're just very busy in trying to make a living so he says this is why the sharia is like this but people who themselves have been gifted by god deeper philosophical understandings they can dive into the codings of this and realize that deeper messages

this is why you gotta love the malikiyah um mufti can you please talk about the actual crime of the people of luth the actual crime of the people of lut was that they rejected god it was the crime of all the prophets stories in the quran were that they rejected god that was the actual crime the second uh the second thing that is mentioned about them is always secondary so whether it was for example is mentioned in the quran that they for example would cheat people in trade now that's something going on everywhere you know it's going on today it's not the

reason that they met their doom it was because they denied god that's the same with every single prophet it's not being that they it's not the actual indulgences those were just secondary traits that were also added on to show the arrogance so i hope that right you teasing me with the annual [Laughter] this is it isn't it it's always you see this

this is the problem isn't it you know people are very um it's always it's interesting that it boils down on a lot in a lot of matters just down to the very core fundamental primordial instincts like like the sax it does doesn't it it's you know these are the kind of things that freud did kind of get right that he this is why i suppose he became he was the huge genius that he was but people they may not notice it but a lot of life

a lot of their frustration a lot of their bitter resentment a lot of their things that are manifesting in other things just boil down to these simple um needs that obviously for them are not being met for whatever reason maybe you know whether it's just opportunity or inadequacy or whatever but they and and this causes huge uh kind of disturbances and people sometimes themselves don't understand why these issues why am i always angry why am always bitter why am i always

uh and it comes down to these issues because there's a restlessness because they you know th they don't have it in life or or the inadequate and the this and this is a problem honestly you would find that if people were let's say they were blissful at their very instinctual need like their sexual instincts were met blissfully let's say you will find those people have a very

um like a very kind of joyous and happy and positive outlook on life i'm being honest and i don't mean temporarily i don't mean like obviously sometimes things happen in life that may upset people or something's going on and they you know it's kind of made them very concerned but i mean consistently throughout life like i don't mean just this week or this day i mean generally throughout life you'll find these people to be very positive more happy um they usually these kind of people on you know they

they always more inclined towards peace these kind of people you'll always find them to be more stable and it's weird because you know this because you'd think well hmm you know people won't think of this straight away and this is why i said like freud on some matters he really you know was on the ball because he he kind of he got it right and this is another thing with religion as well you know the capital r because a lot of uh institutionalized religion taking from things like judaism and christianity and even institutionalized

islam it views sex demonically it sees it as like lust is a dirty thing and therefore it's okay to get it done but it's not something one should be you know like it still sees it as quite um negatively even though it's it says fine and whatever and and i even and i'm not saying islam sees it like this islam does not see sex negatively but institutionalized islam does so even though it allows it

obviously within it'll say get married and do this but it doesn't really um acknowledge the true need it just sees it as almost uh this is basically procreation or need basis it's like kind of there but that's not really acknowledging it and hence you have these problems because you know people are kind of trapped in these obviously and you know the whole muslim scene when it comes to this one they kill the whole guilt that it can only be within this institution and then that institution it's like a nightmare for many people because it's their first

ever relationship and you know many of these people are like i don't know like the cousins [Laughter] and and it's just weird as hell and people are unfortunately sexually inept and they don't and then as they as life goes on the sexual the relation the intimacy is dead and then they still have these needs and then you know it's like in psychoanalysis with was mentioning freudian psychoanalysis you have this whole thing of sublimation so people sublimate the kind of energy into other matters so they may move it into a profession they may move it into an

art they may move it into it but that's how that they vent that thing and and then they it may even get to a stage that they've completely forgotten about this because so many years have gone by that this is just robotic and you know maybe as a one-off otherwise their life they think is fine but if they were to go through therapy and you know to unpack at the unconscious they would realize eventually that okay a lot of these you know these issues i'm having in life like these kind of outbursts and these kind of problems here and this kind of why i'm behaving this way

or why am i unhappy or discontentful or why do i often you know feel more towards miserable than towards happy they may not know it but if they went through therapy they will realize that actually a lot of it ties down to basic creature and human basic human needs which that they've not you know have not really been able to uh indulge in because of the way the culture the religion and yeah definitely [Laughter] definitely a lot of uh the clergy are affected with a lot of this stuff as well

like as it is in christianity you know the the the priests horrendous and unfortunately in in many in islam as well right so um i don't think you'll have desires in the after yeah and people think uh both freud and darwin were pervert people just check out their sarks history you see i you see this isn't about whether freud was perverted or not it's about seeing that did what he arrived at

have any truth to it i'm not you know you don't need to you don't need to become insecure like just because freud may have discovered this or built on this and popularized this now we have to say well oh my god well i'm sure freud was also a freak i'm sure he may have been a freak i mean what's the big deal even if he was a freak i'm not telling you to become a freak i'm telling you that just look at his writings i'm not saying become freud you know i mean this is another very weak reactionary insecure response to say well oh that guy did this you know like i lived 150 years ago you know the world was

a nightmare 150 years ago so what i would say is that the theories and not all the theories need to be true but i think on some he was like him what he spoke about the unconscious freud really brought that to the world you know today you take it as a given you only really have this understanding of the unconscious because of freud he brought it out you know when he practiced in his early years when he practiced um you know hypnotism and he realized and i'm not saying nobody before him had ever dabbled in the unconscious but he really brought this out and he understood that the unconscious

is what makes us operate in ways but we don't understand it and he he was on the you know he was on the ball i mean he was dead on point with that and he also re he emphasized the fact that it's what you know from all instinctual needs the sexual instinct is one that perhaps has the most impact on our psyche without us realizing from a unconscious perspective i you know i think he's on the point with that but yeah but he he may be weird in other things like you don't need to dismiss somebody just because they did

some weird things or whatever all right what's the response to hazali's formulation of cartesian doubt [Laughter] uh in deliverance from error my reason helps me realize my sense uh faculty can be wrong how can i be certain my rational faculty is not wrong yeah i mean this you see imam khazali arrives at this before descartes but imam ghazali fair enough you know 900 years ago what what could you do you know so he eventually just kind of

surrenders it all by saying you know what i just rely on god you know and and the way i've found my salvation is by becoming a hermit you know and that that that was his response 900 years ago i think and it saved him and hence he writes his monkeys but we have come a long way from that a long way wallahi

and i feel along the way science and technology have helped massively you know because because we have discovered so much you have to remember you know these people for them they didn't even like they didn't even unders like they wouldn't have truly grasped solar systems they wouldn't have truly grasped they would never have known about galaxies they would never have known about universes like this uh you know they would never have even understood existence like that they would

like they may have had a theory but they would never have known all they have is the night sky and they have stars and they have they understand these planets that kind of seem to rotate as well that are like stars but they behave differently they understood this but they didn't have a but we today you know but in in the past they just had philosophy they looked up at the stars and they philosophized but we today have actualized that knowledge you know where we couldn't reach our knowledge has reached then we brought it into the quantum we've dealt with the with with

with the untenable you know we've we've handled the unhandleable it's it's like it's crazy because we we we locked in a rule a system of logic and reason and rationality and and use science to discover things and as we got deeper and deeper we broke into quantum physics which then destroyed all our understanding of logic in that world and then we made sense of that at least to get by with you know it's

wow honestly you know joe joe zarina you know in the words of uh he says that that's the that you know a life that i mean allegorically speaking that could not have been lived we have lived that life so i feel we have reached like we have gone light years ahead of where imam razali was the problem is that most people don't understand this stuff

so they don't appreciate it because they don't understand physics they don't understand i mean i accept that quantum physics does anybody really understand it but they don't even they haven't even encountered what it's about so to them they're still living in a kind of newtonian world which is still ahead of ghazali but it's imam but it's not um you know it's still a bit behind so yeah it's true this could all be a dream for all we know that is true this would you know we could just be you know just a brain in a jar somewhere

that's true you know it's like somebody said that this whole universe could just be in a jar on a shelf a minus c project for an average achieving student somewhere you know it could be but the fact that the mind can even conceptualize that to me speaks volumes so i feel that yeah to me the fact that god is out there is through consciousness the fact that we are conscious to me is that sign i get for for descartes it was the fact that we think which in some way was kind of

consciousness but he doesn't term it as you know kogito ergosome i suppose that i have cognition so in some way he is kind of saying that as well but the fact that we have this this consciousness that allows us to wander and ponder to me reflects the necessity of a divine but that's to me so yeah

all right what is going on right i don't know what's going on there something in the chat uh maryam right or any verses from the quran where people will infer this hellfire will freeze over during ramadan no there's no verses like that about hellfire and ramadan etc but this hadith saying that the shayateen will be locked up and stuff and basically that just means it'll be easier to do good deeds and there'll be more

and and people what what that means is like you'll find yourself in this spirit being able to to do more good and and whether that's through the collective consciousness or how that manifests apparently it does definitely manifest because there's a social spirit people are more charitable and they do more good things which is great what are your thoughts on a flat earth i'm not going to even dignify that nonsense uh zebra says i think increasing in knowledge is above

the sax i agree i agree you see because what i was saying is you have to look at the mind from two you have to compartmentalize it you have the unconscious and the conscious so the conscious being our has an instinctual need which is wonder and curiosity and then there's the unconscious being which is more linked with survival and it's not a but it seems to have a kind of like a mind but not it's not the conscious mind

though which is really our prefrontal cortex and our planning and our thinking and this is driven by a deep profound curiosity to understand things which to me by the way is also an argument for the existence of god the intelligibility as in the intelligibility of being is a necessary proof to me

for intelligent creation because the intelligibility the fact that it can be understood by default that being has this intelligibility to it and to be grasped demonstrates that somebody has must have created it that way just as the you know the bit precedes the it and and nowadays with dna you see because for life when they say well life just emerged primordial life but it emerges with dna and dna is coding

and it is coded so you see to code it in an intelligible way for proteins to behave in a in a certain manner dictates the intelligibility of the however it got there so it's it's these arguments the problem is these arguments people can't understand them therefore they don't appreciate them but yes i agree for the uh for the conscious mind it's always about knowledge and before the subconscious mind i feel it is to do with uh certain instincts

drive um and then what happens is repression so when you repress something you push it into deeper into the unconscious now it may then kind of reactionarily manifest in certain ways it may make you email it may trigger you to make certain conscious choices not knowing why you made them in life so that's let me just see i may have missed some super chats um i responded to that ramadan gift yeah mufti rami you're doing it you're doing it much love

uh ramadan mubarak have you read allah madina by sheibani i have years ago shukran for the super chat that's basically uh muhammad ibn hasan shaibani his what i saw as was just an arrogant attempt to respond to imam malik and really you know when he wrote that book scholars who were neutral they looked at him they looked at the title and they said anybody who wrote this has just you know he's failed right there because the title is the argument

against the people of medina and islam is simply medina so you know if your whole premise begins with this is my argument against medina then you can keep it because for us islam began in its true understanding and in its explanation it was lived and it remains rested in madina and it was then captured and taught by imam malik who was the dawn of medina so if you if your argument is against medina and

its practices then you have already lost and this is why imam sheibani his book never really gained any prominence because he lost the moment he began by penning that title now however he said against imam malik it would have been different but he doesn't see his point wasn't just imam malik he begins by trying to say madinah are wrong in their understanding and you think why don't you go back to kufa and baghdad and rest because it is in madinah as imam malik said that the quran was revealed and it is in

medina that the prophet sallam and lived and taught and it is in medina that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam remains rested so imam malik said with that i rest my case so he said you know you can have whatever city you want but the islam of the people of medina will always reign supreme and and this is one of the things that really

shines in in an era of darkness if you like or a platform of darkness this is what it shines that light on the school of medina the maliki method because of the school is and i'm not saying look every fatwa every understanding has to be you know like that but it is the school that tries at least to capture the practice of medina and i'm not saying it captured necessarily every practice but that is what it was trying to do right dervish i missed your super much love for the super chat

incognito and this one is for fareed blocking me on twitter that one's going out for you man so you burn much love don't worry as i've said to fareed he can send me his paypal and i will send over a gift for him much love might allah bless you in your family shukran likewise right so people people people i think we need to start wrapping up um this has gone on way too long and i feel

uh is adam for real literal i do believe adam alaihi salaam was a literal person and i have got a video explaining what my thoughts on adam are i do accept some people see him as a metaphor uh zebra that is why i would only have a child with an intelligent and good man may allah bless you with that and bless everyone with that amen right is adam literal again well you see adam in my understanding is literal yes i do believe that i believe he was the father of the cognitive uh revolution

gangu can be your assistant i'd love to you know like treat take him out somewhere get him a meal or something just just make him you know just talk to me about your issues man what's what's her name oh sorry what's his name [Laughter] you know that's that's all it is with these people you know they really are just suffering in life like they they've boxed themselves into this cult-like mentality and they can't enjoy life

and they hate that others can because their only solace before was that well okay we won't enjoy life but that's because we're going to get it in the akira and then along comes somebody like me [Laughter] it's like a huge thorn in the because it makes them think that well actually no you missing out is just your loss because you could be enjoying everything and that just makes because it would mean the entire sacrifice and life

he used miserable life amounts to nothing it's just been an arbitrary choice of misery so you can understand i guess why they have a problem binyamin ramadan mubarak mufti much love much love gym routines yeah i've just gone back today you know it's been it's been ages and i i just i made an insta thing saying i've just been baptized again

all right thank you for being my light through the deen geode right so creepy though thinking about people [Laughter] it is it is it it's a very it's a sad top topic but it is this is why i say people listen the lord has made this dunya for you let me give you some advice you know people let's and what we'll do is we'll wrap this up because somebody had messaged me and it ties a bit into this they'd ask me about you know about advice on enterprising and you know

entrepreneurship and stuff and and the issue with is this wrong to want money you know and i thought that's a very good honest question you know and it or should this be condemned you know should people just stick to their means and as into the necessities so look let me be i'm very clear that i advise everyone to think entrepreneurially okay i really do i think people should you know they should have

enterprises they should be enterprising um and i think make money [Laughter] i'm definitely down with that from a business perspective i'm not saying you need to i'm not saying you know if you're somebody that you know doesn't really dry you're not driven like that that's fine but there's something important i'd like to caveat what i've just said because it's important that i do because it would be misunderstood otherwise you see i and this ties into to to this as well what i was just

saying about the dunya that lies placed you on this world i'm very keen about people you know making money whatever in whatever field business enterprising entrepreneurially think outside the box and i i definitely think that is you know important if unless people don't want to which is fine however and i'm speaking personally here right i would say that look love money there's nothing wrong with that

but look why do you want money why do why do you why do you want money because of the amenities that it can bring for you so love them like if you want to love something love those things being able to you know have those indulgences whatever they are you know whether it's things that you can so for example people might love being able to go on holiday they may love being able to buy certain clothes they may love being able to uh have the

luxury to you know buy gifts or buy whether it's for themselves or other people or have luxurious things they may love that they may love being able to help someone honestly that these things are very rewarding they may love just being able to spend you know buy loads of things whatever their gadgets or whatever it is there's nothing wrong in loving these things okay these things are of this world and allah has put you in this world to enjoy this world but i would say don't love money

for and of itself love it for these things yeah sure that you know it gives it's like in fact i i think i think there was a lecture by shahrukh khan actually where he said where he was speaking about money and he said that i always tell people that get rich first then become a philosopher which is an amazing point i thought he made he was saying that to i think university was lecturing at a university to university students but look so love these things love amenities you know love being able to buy stuff being able because what happens is as you make money you will do these things and these

things will come into your life so now for example let's say you let's say you are making money and you think well you know what i love i love being able to go and eat different foods and go to play and you're doing that so that's coming into your you know mentally it's coming into your life it's coming you know i love to be able to go on a holiday and you're going on holidays i love to be able to have such in such a car or uh buy such and such clothes or uh you know or do something for someone i love to be able to buy this for them that brings immense happiness i love to to be able to see my children you know enjoying these things and you're seeing these things happen

and materialize and it's it's bringing it's it's rewarding but the problem is if you love money just for money the problem with that is you see you're just counting a number like let's say now it's i don't know it's 35 now it's 42 now it's 56 now it's and the problem with that is the more you like let's say the number is going up but if you spend it the number goes down so subconsciously whether you whether you think about it or not but it impacts you

because you think oh well you know and and you just hold on to just money for the sake of money whereas if you're loving the amenities the the things which you really want money for then they are actually increasing in your life and you're seeing them and you're happy to spend because you that is what you value it's not just money in and of itself because this will just depress you then because what will happen is the numbers going up it's going up but if you start spending it you oh this is going down or i don't like that

then so subconsciously you get trapped so i would strongly advise people that look these are gifts from allah yeah you are in this world fabi allah you know why would you deny yourself gifts and bounties of the lord when he has given them to you if you are there or to pursue them and the hadith says that allah loves to see his servant male or female in it's not specific that

indulging in his in the bounties that allah has given them in so that is absolutely is as halal as chilled cold water you know it is as halal as chilled refreshing water as imam malik would say the thing is that people may demonize it but i think there's nothing absolutely it's a good thing the only problem and i would strongly warn against it is loving money for money because that will psychologically you and it will turn you into a

miserable person and it will make you all tight and fisted and stingy and miserable and seeing everything and and this is why there's such a beautiful dua that dunya that allah gave us the dunya place it right here in our hands but not in our hearts and i thought that's such a beautiful dua uh so people we shouldn't think this is an ascetic religion where we have to abstain from worldly things not at all so and the reason that ties into exactly what i'm saying that we are in this

dunya and the deen compliments us and it isn't about somebody saying you know if you ain't got no money insha'allah you know a queen in ayah allah will shower upon you uh infinite streams of inshallah wealth to come i mean and all of you guys that you you and i'll you know what i'll add a little note to that as well right i'll add a little note to that as a footnote to what i just said about um about money and you know wanting it but for other things

there is an inexplicable you know how quantum physics works people in the sense that it's illogical but it works you know something is in two places at once it's rational but it is you just got to go with it there so i'm going to tell you something that's going to seem perceptively irrational or illogical or counterintuitive and that is that you know when you want to get in this world and you want allah to you know just unleash just open the floodgates of his risk upon you counterintuitively

you have to inculcate within you you have to develop within you the art of giving and that sounds so counterintuitive because you think well no no i want to get i don't want to give i i haven't got to that stage to give i need to get but there is a weird kind of it's it's like a weird balance and it doesn't make any sense it's like you're at this cliff and you're being told to leap

and there's the undeniable impending fear of doom and f and of falling but it's only with that irrational leap that that you can saw the skies and this is something so counterintuitive because people think well no like no i want more if i start giving i have less but believe me when i say that it is hidden in plain sight that allah has hidden risk in the art of giving and it's

right there it's counterintuitive it's steering you in the face but it's the least way you'd expect it [Laughter] and i think that ramadan has come and you know it's it's a great time to sometimes think and it's not about i don't mean by this i don't just mean by this um you have to give money money money like this it could be other things as well and it could be it's not just like oh i walk past and i give someone something the there's an art of giving it's about crushing that

that kind of coveting thing within the soul that finds it that kind of stingy that no you know it's about extinguishing that really and i would say it begins with people who are around you it begins with family you know begins by those around you that's where it first begins and then you know it kind of pans out but yeah that that i had to put that footnote there because i feel that that is something that is really important and it's counterintuitive and it does require tawakkul

but insha'allah you will see if only mufti gets his own show on netflix mufti saab i am nursing a semi [Laughter] innate [Laughter] right people let's uh let's wrap this up man let's wrap this up if i were a billionaire i'd spread mufti's message [Laughter]

you don't know the future there's many great things yet to unfold inshallah for you as there are for for everyone here so people you know what ramadan right here for many of you so let's wrap this up right it's gone on quite a bit um somebody just sent a rock black super chat chakra and ramadan mubarak to you and your family your followers and the beloveds of course to all our beloveds guys i hope you have an awesome ramadan huh right so and what is the ruling of start and

finish of the fast in a day you know we didn't actually deal with many topics about ramadan today it was just like a really good kind of um just i suppose just a nurturing nurturing the kind of session so but i i think that's a great question look i was asked another question as well about ramadan i'll tackle that as well and that was uh so this is about the fast how do we fast and somebody had you know asked that you know there's this whole feel of ramadan and stuff and they don't really um they themselves don't really feel it

is that this is is that bad are they a bad person so that's a very uh good question so firstly fasting i would say when do you fast you can go it's absolutely fine with the differences you can go with whether it's your family or whatever so if you're doing it shortly now or tomorrow it's absolutely fine i don't feel that one is necessary over the other okay fine what about timings once again i would say you can follow any calendar

that you have you can follow your local masjid you can follow one from your city or your country that you find online absolutely fine they may have diversity in them so you may follow one that gives you more ease absolutely fine right what are some of the the leeways or the in this i have got a video and from and i explained in great detail in the last two years that look are people allowed because are people allowed to time their fasts and have time

uh responsive fast as opposed to the regular fast so i have mentioned and i've got a detailed response available online you'll find it if you keep if you search keywords on youtube that yes i do believe that fatwa is valid um that if historically but and it's based going back through the egyptian al-azhari fatwa going back and then being re-endorsed by many people um i have said that look not i've endorsed the fatwa that if you

historically look and you take day and night as two halves they would then make 12 hours so because arabia was pretty close to the equator uh it would have been you know reasonably static throughout so let's say so they say anything 12 hours above is a valid fast now if people were to take that because life is difficult for them um you know it's there's a lot whatever whatever reason people have their own reasons you see

i can't judge your reason because a particular reason of yours may be nothing to me but maybe a reason of mine may be nothing to you like i can't we're not to judge allah is only to judge us but if a person was to take that fatwa and decide you know what i just want i'll tell you what i'll have a 13-hour fast of anything from 12 hours onwards so people may have 12 people may have 13 i mean you know if they go over that they could just go with the normal timing i guess because that's you know they're going to be about whatever 16 whatever hours

anyway so in these situations i feel that fatwa is valid for people who need it how do you know you need it well i'm not nobody can judge that if you felt you needed it and you took it i feel it is valid okay i feel nobody else can judge you in line with that okay how do the these timings work then so with that they've you know people have disagreed some people had said look why don't you just start it when everybody starts it and then you just count the hours fine some people had just said look arbitrarily you could just set

a time so if people said i don't know let's say sunrise was at averaging because it may vary whatever let's say they said like four a.m i'm just going to close my fast at 4 a.m and i'm going to open it at 6 00 p.m fine or they said i'm gonna open it at 5 00 p.m that would be valid according to that fatwa okay now so it can have somewhat somewhat of an arbitrary nature that makes life easy for them a lot that's how i've seen those people who do do that that's how i've seen them do it they just tend to take an arbitrary

time which is usually close to the normal sahur kind of sunrise thing and they just stick to it but some people i've seen they just go with the soho time and just count the hours forward like that so these things are fine i'm not saying you should do that i'm not saying you need to do that all i'm saying is people who do do that you it's not your place to condemn them or judge them okay so their fast is valid in my understanding and it's it's between them and god there's the issue some people say that can they not fast because of certain

difficulties sometimes there's exams sometimes there's other things um you know sometimes it really makes life quite difficult for them in the you know there's certain people who for example um even you know just due to the overall health if they're not consuming water regularly it impacts them negatively there's some people who due to their work environment just don't have that luxury um to you know be kind of whatever look if you are in a position where you can not fast my first point is it is your call

ultimately i cannot make that call you are as imam shatterby says you have to decide whether you are you know you can do it or not and if you feel that you know this is too much for me right now then you can choose not to fast but what do you do instead so the first option would be that you would make this fast up later on if you felt that you know for where you are in the world that you can't but i would feel most people can make it up but if you felt for some reason like let's say it's this health condition like you know my kidneys i need to be drinking certain water every so many

hours then that's not going to change or i'm in this job and this job doesn't change you know i'm in this job in that case i would say that you give fidya for each day that you miss okay and this is based on the apparent reading of the quran and as to those who are capable of fasting but don't that well what is obligatory for them so allah says is obligatory for those who are actually capable as in physically they could do it they have the physical like if they were stretched they could physically do it you they have the taka

uh that they they then give a video instead of now i know the majority scholars interpret this verse because apparently it reads as exactly as as i've told you so they say no there's a negative missing here uh so a little on those who are not capable but allah just dropped the not so i find that you know a bit poor of an attempt to reconcile such an important word of the quran because how can because you're saying

allah you know that he he put in a positive with the affirmative where there was meant to be a negative and that's an absolute opposite it's like me saying go and then you say yeah but he forgot the word or he missed the word don't that is exactly what they're saying here so i feel that allah left that in there for all time that they will whenever because islam is to reach all time and all people and there will be a people who for some reason may need to lean in on that verse and use it as a source of mercy for them and ultimately is allah's quran you know it's his is ultimately this is no you know it's

nobody's personal deen is not your dad's thing and if people felt that dire need to lean in on it then fine it is there it is a clear verse of the quran now people will say that mufti by saying this stuff you're giving people an excuse not to fast i would say in response to that first of all that's not what i'm doing i'm just explaining the deen as it is i'm not going to hide things which are clear verses of the quran that would be a hypocrisy on my part secondly what i'm going to say is that look why does it bother you like why does it because look to me if i'm gonna fast why do i care whether

the other person is not i mean sure i would like people to but i need to focus on my own deen look that's like me saying that i'm only going to pray for everybody praise why i'm only going to be a nice human being if everybody's a nice human being oh i'm fasting why is he not fasting in everybody should be fast otherwise why am i fasting you're fasting because it is your commitment to allah it is not you see whether he or she fast is not who cares okay fine you know you you would like every it's like i would like everybody on earth to be a good person to be a nice person but that shouldn't stop me from not

being a good person i shouldn't think well why is he not being a good person why do i have why should i then be a good person see we should focus on ourselves it shouldn't bother me because if it bothers me that much then that problem lies within me that goes to show that i've got a problem with what i'm doing i don't even want to be doing it and that is a problem because if you are doing something just ah god has forced me to do this that's not how i do things personally and i don't recommend that that be your take on your deen that is

something you do almost as a punishment because that to be honest that is the punishment response isn't it like if like if we're all sitting here chilling and somebody came in and said i've got to do this then that would be my response let's let's be real isn't it i would be like but why do they get to chill then you know that's because it's like a punishment isn't it it's like i'm being i'm doing something i i don't want to do it i i completely dislike it i i want to do this so i have a problem with what you're telling me so i'm saying well either make all of us do it or don't

make me do it and that's usually to do with punishments and fasting is not a punishment or these things are not a punishment okay so and that ties into the next point that people would say well mufti you know if they fast 16 17 hours you know they really feel it by telling somebody to fast 12 or hours above and by the way i'm not the one who's come up with that that fatwa has been going on for for decades on end but i just also endorse its validity it must be by telling somebody to fast i don't know anything 12 hours forward let's say 12 13 hours onwards it's nothing you know somebody could just

whatever you know this piece of cake you could start your faster i don't know let's say they said somebody started a four and opened it at five that's nothing right because they didn't even really starve they just well my answer to you is that the fasting was not about starving fasting was not about you know it was about a personal commitment so you have got the very basis of it wrong right so

mufti you have 15 minutes to have your last meal i'm not fasting today i'm starting it on wednesday i said that in the beginning guys let's wrap this up have an awesome time wherever you are i know you guys are not uh right oh damn i did say i'll mention as well look somebody this topic if you don't find you know somebody said they don't find these things very spiritual like in the sense everybody else does uh are they a bad person no they're not a bad person you know it doesn't just because look it is a great vibe for many people this whole ramadan thing or things like

hajj or things like a community spirit but there will be some people you know maybe it doesn't create that vibe in you like you have introverts extroverts you'll have people who enjoy certain vibes people who don't it's not a reflection of your faith okay it's not it's just you know some people may not vibe with certain kind of things right so it's i don't think i feel you don't need to be guilty for that okay that's not a requirement of ramadan that's just a bonus if if it happens some people they they don't necessarily like those things so fair enough you know that's just them

like some person may go on hajj and they may hate being in crowds and therefore they you know they don't like that feel all the way they the whole thing they feel that you know oh my god i'm going through this it's just hardship here they they don't like it at all and everybody else says oh i feel so spiritual i had a great experience they come back from hajj and deep down they say you know to be honest it was just a rough and tough experience and i don't really i don't feel so super spiritual um does that mean my hajj isn't accepted no not at all you know it's not this isn't like a drug it isn't a feel-good thing if for some people they feel good with it that's a bonus but that's not how it's measured

so i hope that helps people take care have an awesome evening night wherever you are remember me in your kind of inshallah stay connected if you haven't already liked and subscribed then do so my youtube people get on there get subbing click the notification icon i do respond more so to messages on instagram um why i don't know it's just quite easy to do so as opposed to facebook messenger but uh a lot some people have mentioned suggestions for mindtrap guests reach out to me reach out to them let me know

let's set this up people and most most importantly people remember to just remember to just enjoy okay the gifts that allah has granted you with right take very good care of yourselves wasallam signing out
