on a live stream hobby that would make me go viral entrapment people entrapment let's wait let's wait till some people tuned in whilst they do I'll share with you guys this is a come on come on come on come on come on is like you're kind of like a fun the Arabic words on which means I suppose you could say kind of thought but in traps kind of thought conjecture

you know when you're you mind what's on your mind in that sense and sometimes it can be used negatively as well the term but it doesn't have to be right so that's Johnny Leah's right so he says he's gone say show kiss have us can he write so whilst people are tuning in gwon say shock this Havas can he did Mary John there a bus Connie [Laughter] so Koontz a shock kiss her bus Connie

like what passions what desires shock is your kind of your desire by Havas is also your kind of sensual desires if you like so he says he's gone say shock kiss Havas can he and both of these words have Arabic origin by the way they'll marry John Terry bus Connie and that's one of his yes it's a lengthy it's a kind of lengthy poem of his that he he begins he says hum chorus HLA hey work on qui

and aza Peschel past Connie that where have we set off from and where are we going people no idea huh no idea nam eternam Kuja of them have no idea where I'm going right so he says much cahoots a jus Donahoe Neto this poem actually this line is what I wanted to show you to me I I mean I've heard it before but I read it just recently again and I thought wow he says much cahoots a Jordana who need all that don't separate me from yourself one could argue from my own self but

he's saying actually from yourself but yeh may open a biscotti ah much cool like what he's saying is don't separate me from yourself the reality is this that I'm incapable like I can't handle myself like I'm not somebody that can handle my own self nor do not cahoots a Jew da na hoona doe but yeah he may open a busker anyway people that's good man from the legend

Jun Illya Sahib damnit barakatuhu right may Allah have mercy on him right so let's begin today let's first of all now that people have tuned in those of you just tuning in click like click share people and I suppose big first of all I just like to begin by just covering briefly the the tragedy of this Jamaa GaN the New Zealand Christchurch shooting massacre that may allah

subhanaw taala first and foremost may he grant the victims the deceased may he grant them elevated nepal men genital Firdos and may allah subhanaw taala grant their families and loved ones ease it's it's a shock really it's one of those things that you you know everybody kind of heard about it they woke up to the news somebody really going off that that hatred has driven him to that extent and that he and I take it there was a gang

of them a group of them that they've strapped themselves gone armed into a Masjid obviously done his homework found the nearest Masjid must have checked up on Jamaat timings must have chosen Gemara because of it being a congregated scenery so turning up and then ruthlessly emotionless Li going through and just really just tearing down people as he went past it was so surreal I mean unfortunately I like many of you I saw

the the video clips they were initially I think later on the media has taken them all down initially they were viral all over social media and including some of the mainstream papers that shade them as well and then took them down but his video we it seems almost just like a game you know it doesn't even seem real he's just and it's just taking just taking them down you can't you know no in fact when I first saw it I actually is that even real like is that like it's being done so in such a kind of robotic

Manor but subhanAllah and then some of the tragedy stories as they emerge of the people the lives of the victims emerge who were they some of them had had come from different countries struggle to get they some of them there with their family some of them sheltering with their bodies their little children and taking the brunt of taking so many bullets to themselves to shelter their children it's it was really soul piercing and and kind of

like it was it was just tragic to see not one is the the incident but that hate can take somebody to that level that no longer they have no sense of compassion and the irony is this is the irony the ironies some of these people would probably have more compassion towards a dog right and you should have compassion towards animals like I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some of these the the this guy the perpetrators were maybe compassionate

towards animals and yet this is how they ruthlessly gunned down men women children just ruthlessly unarmed you know to them just in a state of worship but it's ya Salam I mean this is the the irony of the age subhanallah you know may Allah eliminate this hatred from the hearts of people may he allow us to replace this disease with with compassion and it stems from

ie I hold the media to account because the media creates a hysteria it creates a sense of oh my god they're invading they're coming from here the immigrants everywhere they you know and if you look at I saw somebody's post online that had several screenshots of the New Zealand papers in the weeks and months that preceded last week and so many of the headlines were focused heavily in in this particular picture that I saw on things like immigrants and Islamophobia

is Islamic terrorists and extremists and Muslims taking over and they're doing this and so I hold them equally responsible I think that those people seriously that it is not enough that they just say you know oh that we're sorry they should be actual they should be taken to account that these people should have to face trial really for what they played a role in allow in creating a culture that facilitated mass murder so it's a it's a tragic note and

you know and I do commend the New Zealand Prime Minister her role in what she the way she came about and confronted the tragedy and the kind of comfort she provided to people I think that was amazing of her as I do I'm you know I and I wish other world leaders would follow suit right so that said today I haven't caught up with the details but I heard of a some kind of terror attack and he's the Islamic terror attack in I think Netherlands in the Netherlands

some kind of shooting and I have to say well lolly you know in the last few days it's only been since Friday I've seen so much sympathy towards the muscle towards of the whole the Muslim sentiment facing Islamophobia on just generally the media on social media I've seen it over the past weekend that I was actually thinking to myself you know this sympathy that the tide kind of turning towards the table or this sentiment turning towards the Muslims is never you

know whenever this happens the god forbid there is always some kind of a Muslim terrorist attack and you know and I remember just from those of you that remember things like when the Muhammad Ali thing when he had passed away in this whole thing and then so much sentiment towards positively towards Muslims that no you know lo and behold is this incident and just today I heard that oh there's this you know Muslim terrorists of and like I said I don't have all the details I haven't I've been quite preoccupied today so I haven't caught it but what I did read was he's

allegedly of Turkish I think origin and and I thought to myself yes I love you know I had a feeling this will you know I find I um seriously it's so diff appears as just so orchestrated this whole thing and I'm not saying it necessarily has to be you know we could just be nut cases and they could there are unfortunately men you know several nut cases amongst Muslim communities but I'm just saying it feels you know one can't help but assume that do they some do you not just do sometimes I don't know some people just allow certain

people to do certain things because it will be the just conducive to to kind of killing off all this sympathy you or all these people just really that bloody mentally I don't know that they you know that they do but the world is is it's it's it's I seriously find myself at a shortage of words that in a day and age that we are becoming more and more connected with one another that we find

hatred is taking its roots even if it is within Muslims as well and non most regardless of race creed faith community terror hatred has no religion people the hatred it doesn't matter if it's found in any race ethnicity religion community it has to be condemned it has to be isolated and separated and hopefully counted hopefully in a positive way this

is to stop people believing in God they are just attacking the people of the books um I don't really think I think that's a very simplistic you know summary that it's to stop people believing in God I think that the world is is comes become unfortunately some parts of it some people are troubled Souls and they like what happens is we start to live in a bubble and I think I said this once before that I think there's an amazing sight to this as well that we can create these bubbles today and we can create virtual worlds like I

start to follow certain things on social media I reach out to people who only have so let's say for example let me give you an example let's say you want to learn about fit now Phil is the Islamic study of how to practice Islam now you want to enhance your understanding now you could start following like let's say tens of fit pages you start watching YouTube that are only to do with fit they speaking about scholars they're speaking about things like these you now start to become a part of certain social or kind of groups social media groups you're on their pages you join some whatsapp groups now you're getting daily things about so

like I'm on certain groups to do with scholars and Maliki fit I will always be getting things about Maliki fear oh there's a new book that's been published there's a new you know somebody's taken up a new text as part of his PhD or something there's a new issue so I'm seeing this every day then the algorithms of social media start to reinforce these things to you because they see your traffic is is kind of marginalized so it's towards this thing so you're getting more and more of it and you're starting to talk to your friends about it your friends are talking back to you now you see you've created a little world

and it's a sustainable world and in one could argue that that's amazing because the world will keep you you know keep you fresh with knowledge with inside so on you know sometimes I'll open my what happens a new issue being discussed and I'm like oh wow or I'll see a new book that's been published I'm like oh wow okay so that books been probably and yes on some other group somebody's saying something I'm I see I'm into poetry I'm on some poetry whatsapp groups I might read a poem today I open YouTube and YouTube shows me a different poem of let's say ha label meat or you know Johnny Leal somebody and I'm like oh wow

when you see you're creating a bubble now that bubble can be very useful in the sense that enhances your learning it enhances you every info gives you confidence to discover more and connect the problem would be if that bubble is one that is poisoned by toxicity of hate if that bubble is one that contains a kind of hateful atmosphere where everybody is hating on something where everybody's reinforcing that oh my god

this is happening let's say immigration oh my god there's a new report today they stopped two immigrants at the border oh my god there was an immigrant go through and he broke into a sharp Oh god this you know and somebody's and sharing a statistic and you're on your whatsapp group and they're sharing statistics and you're with your friends and they see what happens is you think the whole world has kind of become immersed in that in that kind of in that world in the atmosphere you think this is it's happening everywhere but I mean it's only on your YouTube channel and on

your little whatsapp groups and the rest of the world is oblivious to it but you see in there it's so powerful and and like I said and that is so if if the atmosphere becomes immersed in toxic in toxic hate the counter is it could be one about compassion and love and humanity and and that's amazing if it is but this is what happened and this happens regardless of communities of ethnicities of religion of language they are just hateful people unfortunately in

the world you know may Allah seriously replace the hatred with with love and compassion the world is just life is too short really to just be so bitter but it's amazing you know that they that they are that they take up they worry themselves with problems that are more even real problems you know for them all for not even real problems they ain't real real problem I mean there may be a little problem somewhere but it's not a real major problem so yes Salaam yes and I'm a bit of a sad stop the people a bit

of a Samba Samba star but Chelle tehy that speaking of some buds out ready is reading a bit of dark death Louie the amazing poet who is a contemporary of people like me and he he is one of the teachers of allama iqbal actually and he has this way he speaks speaking of Samba he he has this line where he says that yay sashka mo to jail agaric ah hey that is with this thought in mind Oh death that we hold on to you he says

that yes Oscar a month to jail agaric I come Arthur he provoked me another that is like whoa he says that at times of calamity your coming is actually a sense of relief he says you know that karma taaha brave act me or not that's his famous you know is that his old essay on Osito Burton ah -

the person who said the poem to K root K John athira but John Lee jata hey Mary root K janitor Radha if you get upset with me and leave that that's it takes my life that is the honest it the best are nothing but if you if that's what you were gonna do is best is better off that you didn't even turn up so what else is going on people what else is news what's going on what's preoccupying the minds of the amazing people

yep that's it folks vah vah vah that's what else is what i will take a look at a little later on I will discuss the what or the concept of Tata and I will also discuss I've been asked to look at the verse of the Quran that deals with the women the verse that's telling the Prophet about who he can marry and so on and what and somebody's asked out what does that actually mean so I will look at that as well when he

wore when he wore Ash's garment upgrade say Mohammed revealed revelation when he wore eye his garment I honestly do not even know what that means locked in from New Zealand a long sullen a schwa kalyanam asylum no she says brother brother brother what is going on brother so what are some questions should I take some that I've already been submitted should we see what preoccupying the minds of the amazing people out there

you know I've been by the way I was because I'm really fascinated by languages as it is and I was going over some oh sorry I was going over some Farsi Persian poetry of Rumi and and of a meet of Amir Khusro now Amir hoster oh he's a hos roll was one of the ancient classic Indian poets and one arguably scholar he is from the time of I don't know if you guys have heard of a famous saint from India called Nizam Moutinho Lea so this is his student and whose

role are known as famous as Amir Khusro he is the father of qawalli you know you have the qawalli the the whole he's the father of that he allegedly kind of set that into motion the whole qawalli thing but I was reading some of his poetry and I was surprised that I could actually understand most of it even though I've not really been studying for ìone years back years back did a few sessions of Farsi I was actually meant to be work of this board and I've just online and I'll just like oh so I just spent that whole

afternoon I must have gone through about 16 lessons or something it was on the when you meant to be you know when you're working oh it's been what's been difficult job today that must have been about something like seven years ago or something well maybe maybe more maybe about eight nine years ago I don't know but this one time I sat down and I went through yeah probably about nine years ago actually so I sat down and how's that work and I ended up going through about over a dozen kind of lessons on Farsi just on online I was like oh oh wow that

makes sense that makes sense so I have not really studied it since then or anything and but I was reading his poetry in Farsi and I could just understand almost most of everything I was just reading in those several couplets and then that took me on to this Kashmiri so I was really intrigued by wow the sound of Kashmiri koshered the Kashmiri they speak in the valley of Kashmir indian Occupied Kashmir and it sounds so much like Persian but it's not Persian and I started checking it out and I thought whoa when I went online and I heard some songs and I was

really I thought wow this really it's like touches your soul I thought wow I wanna you know what I want to learn Kashmiri so I made a post and subhanallah several people have reached out to me but there's so little resources that are out there to learn Kashmiri I've been checking online one person has been quite helpful he's been sending me for you a few kind of resources I've been going through them but there were some songs on on YouTube that I saw there was an artist by the name of Alice very intense wow it's like

you can feel the intensity on the other side the emotions and obviously the tragedy that the people in Kashmir are kind of the suffering so long and there's another artist by the name of I think yeah war Abdul yeah we wrap dal so I think he has one track which I really loved called tamanna and he's got the poetry of Holly bindi and that's the ode to his guys Kashmiri poetry of an old I think it's an ancient poet a female poet called haba Harun and who's like hundreds of years old from the time of Emperor Akbar and then in the end he's

got a mere horse rose kind of Persian so he's got cash me or two and Persian and this is how I kind of made that link into I saw his truck and but it sings it's so well Wow but uh yeah so uh that's let's see what else is going on people right so yeah before we I would always and I feel that the people of Kashmir especially Occupied Kashmir Indian Kashmir that they go they're going through so much and the strength that they have to just carry on with everyday life you know the strength that they have to 2x to channel

that energy into maybe music or art or words poetry I absolutely salute that and you know may Allah really create ease for these people grant them the liberation and the freedom they need and I advise everybody to support their cause inshallah you know because it's just amazing that they can even you know express themselves in all these ways and do all this despite what's going on but they are it's a beautiful place beautiful people and beautiful kind of heritage this in the words of Amir who

Cyril who I was speaking of the poet the ancient Farsi Indian sub-continental kind of legend he he writes that a girl Janet burrow or a girl fair dos burro is the meanest a meanest a meanest Amina's that he said if paradise for those is ever to be on earth it is here it is here it is here and those are the allegedly his famous words so what's going on what's going on do you have similarities with allows have scholars than other types of

scholars as in similarities as in goatee beards and watches bracelet do I have similarities to them well it depends what they're involved in if it's if it's a if it's a criminal case then I hope not right sauce could you explain the Islamic theological stance on child sexual abuse us stuff for Allah what a sick question why would you think that the Islamic stance would be any different than anybody else with regards to why Allah allows this

stuff in Ali laughing what does God allow what might the child had done no evil and the effects are almost everlasting any advice on how to tackle my sin I'm not sure I'm not sure what you mean life you clarify what what are we talking about you said something that the sex abuse I don't understand like what how God got to do with the sex abuse I'd help help me understand what you're asking because obviously I would imagine any sane human being would

utterly condemn sexual abuse let alone towards children in children or non children it's certainly not acceptable especially it's even more so horrific with children involved so so I'm totally I don't understand that question yeah chef is Dora hadith necessary to become a scholar because my mood is asking is nota hadith all right you see what does it mean to be a scholar this is an arbitrary term now some people have a

system they have a mechanism a syllabus part of the syllabus is the kind of crowning okay the crowning not the crowning when childbirth although this could be as a metaphor the crowning mole oh nice the mananas sticking his head out of the course and he's got an imam on like what the hell it's really scruffy beard well I couldn't what have

you given birth to this this birth process has to stop so so not crowning in that sense the crowning is in when a baby is born but the crowning of the course so this is as the person emerges the kind of icing is Dada hadith where they study the major books of Hadees from cover to cover and they usually study them from with different perspectives so usually fit and stuff like that I mean I don't know if it's necessary but from the social perspective once you've done that people will then acknowledge you to be a

scholar arguably you could still be a scholar without doing that if you are qualitatively Vapor people won't socially accept you it's a bit like I don't know once you've undergone a certain training everybody says yeah this person you know once you've taken a driving test people say oh yes this person is a driver but technically I mean you could be a driver before but legally you can't but this is in a similar way this is a social acceptance it's not a legal acceptance but it's a social that once you've done this training everybody says yep you know that said most people who do these

courses are not really as the the the most of them are just unfortunately just fall by the wayside in terms of quality but I would say if you can do daughter I definitely do it he's basically asking why some children get sexually abused and some not a stuff for Allah what a sickle what kind of a sick question is that that makes no because that that's being framed as though he's he's asking

why some do and some don't as in like shouldn't they all is that was that stuff at all people you've had too much to drink tonight right how does the average person right there was a question Oh guys before I forget move the Earthmen maravilla alright so this is in the house people I believe he's still online unless he's gone offline now but I've been in touch with most II lost man maravilla if I'm pronouncing it correctly

he's from Preston I believe he's on Facebook except I don't think he has the title Mufti on Facebook but he's a Mufti he just as his name first man now he's invoked cash it will start cash people share cash if he's in the house Saturn sure to shell Ruffner Ruffner right so I was speaking to move the earth man maravilla and he's very involved in the whole organ donation to donate organs okay this is not a euphemism people okay you need to be thinking straight

guys think straight things Trey okay this is not your this isn't for an excuse for you guys to be up to some naughty naughty this is organ donation okay right so so the question is that how does how do organ donations work and I'm actually so Shh like overwhelmed by having by having learned what the process was is in an overview I was so surprised and shocked at my own ignorance of the honest matter

so just as a summary to tell you guys that I was totally unaware this is me right I was totally unaware this is what I thought people I thought that when let's say you donate your organs this is the jl Mina mmm this is dokkan dokkan donation any any cuz right so I thought once you don't hate your organ now let's say you've kidneys or whatever they take them away and let's say they can take them successfully like I thought fine

once you do they take your organs sold so far so long as they're healthy so with the condition they're healthy so they take your are in our lungs or let's say kidneys or whatever is liver and what they will do is they will kind of put them store them can chemically preserve them you know all the freezing and this is in my mind all this kind of like freezing I don't know I've got nitrogen ovary got in this expensive kind of this equipment and they've preserved them and along comes a person who has a need and they say well yep in

the organ resources we've got a liver or a kidney that matches that and and it gets arranged but then I realize I'm an utter jail I've got no idea that that's totally how it does not work okay so I so people that's how not to organ donate okay so the actual method is you see me so shocking to learn that first of all organ the the organs that they take from

you yes they have to be sound but it first of all it depends on your death your death must take place whilst they've got you hopefully either within the hospital all hooked up to things that can actually preserve because if your heart stops beating and stop sending blood to the organs within I've heard like just five minutes or so the organs become useless this is most of the organ so this is the first part that I was quite shocked to learn about secondly I was shocked to learn that once they do remove the organ

they must implant it transplant it within six hours generally speaking otherwise the organ becomes useless so you just have a very short window small window to kind of do that you know have you watched that Bollywood clip with that the viral one where he's taking that heart to the hospital and the villains are shooting him and he's like dodging the bullets and and he's beating up all these villains along the way and then when he's totally stuck he just throws the heart and it goes flying and he goes smashes through the window and

it lands inside and the heart starts beating OH what if anybody could do it Bollywood could do it so now yep so that thing this was mine on this but GM earth man that's called circulatory death so you only have a very short window in which they can transplant the organ so they have to take it out now depending on where the person that needs it let's say it's whatever it is they're gonna take out the heart or whatever is the other person he could be on the other side of

the country that needs it and now rural hospital I think there's only a very few I think there was less than I think just a handful of hospitals in the entire country that specialize in organ transplants so they have to get both the the organ and the patient to the hospital in time within that window to make the trauma the transplant in addition to other checks like there has to be a certain things a genetic match like let's say it's a kidney it has to genetically match or or they or other things have to match the kind of

recipient as well considering all of that you think how on earth do they manage even a single organ transplant because can because you think well if a person because most people first of all don't die I'm assuming I could be wrong but I'm assuming that most deaths do not actually happen like just in the hospital with healthy function functioning organs I'm assuming most deaths I'm not like that I once again I could be wrong but so I would assume people just die like whether they're out

or what if has happened or a heart attack or accidental you know or whatever it is so I'm assuming most people are not on a hospital bed all chained up to you know all kind of tubed up and then die I'm assume so that eliminates a huge portion then the death must be like brainstem death and not like it can't your heart can't just stop beating because oh if it does the machines must keep the organs healthy so that is another Wow and then those that do die like that they have to be organ donors and then the recipient has to

have they have to do the transplant within six hours you think well that narrows the whole scope down so much that it's a miracle that organ transplant can actually is successfully takes place organ donation and then people that which does happen is usually like let's say in the UK is the non-muslim community is generally just non-muslims that are doing the organ donation so because most Muslims in this country are ethnically not English or not white so we're either South Asian or you know they might be Arab Middle

Eastern or North African or African so most of these organs that are let's say that do successfully make it they're not a good match or they're not a match at all for most Muslims so so we need to kind of saw I think that this so things that most EOS man is doing in creating an awareness on organ donation and Muslims must and they should really be donating their organs okay so we don't need to you don't need to think that they just take your organs out if you've

done like just because you've said yes I will donate and you die they don't just take everything they only take it out if there's a successful march and a recipient that they can get it to you so it's not like alright lads quickly pull everything out of his body it's not quite like that so I think this is something that must be taken seriously I was really glad to hear I was glad to hear that as mostly if man was telling me that from next year they're rolling out the law in England that everybody by default will be a donator like you would be on the

register to donate your organs if applicable and you have the option to opt out if you want because right now it's the other way round like nobody's on the register and list you unless you opt in but then from next year I hear that 2020 they're rolling out the law that everybody's automatically opted in but you have the right to opt out I just hope people I hope the movies don't just start misleading people I'm miss feeding them information that this is Haram it is not Haram the person is actually doing one of the greatest acts of humanity and

they are actually potentially potentially because it's so difficult like I said to even find a recipient that could that could render a successful transplantation but this person may potentially be saving a life okay and as allah says in the quran that woman yeah who gives life is as though he has given life to the whole of humanity and what could be a greater gift as you die to be able to give life to somebody else I think that's an an amazing kind of

it's an amazing way to leave this dunya you know if you get your not leave it anyway at some point we're all gonna be like oh oh the Angels yeah it's like yeah you know I was just on episode 11 and I just got one I just got one more box it what do you say right so I think you could save as mostly if man has just typed you could save up to nine lives as you die potentially by the things you that they could take out so I think

people definitely promote it get involved and if you hear anybody spewing hatred against these kind of things please ignore them it is not Haram that is a misunderstanding that's all there were many Muslim scholars that gave what was of this of the permissibility of this way back in the 60s people like musty mohammed el aziz ji yi who was the chef Elise lamb of his time and the Grand Mufti of Tunis and obviously the most a of the Mauna Kea he has his whole article which I've shared previously it is on YouTube saying why was permissible back then now I believe

it's a must cool guys so I hope that awesome I will touch up as well I heard mostly Tommy morovia that that the Shia have a campaign I thought that's interesting to mention that the Shia have a campaign called Imam Husayn blood campaign so on the day of ashura sorry obviously on the day of ashura but the 10th of Muharram we're all aware of some Shia I do kind of like beat themselves and do all of that and although many

Shia scholars do consider that Haram but some she I still do it but so some Shia scholars they said look if what you want to do is kind of give blood then why don't you on the 10th of Muharram for the sake of Husain radi allahu on go and donate blood and even though as almost as a bizarre link if you like to the topic but it's still an amazingly effective one that people have kind of taken up the cause and they've gone and

i hear that on the 10th of Muharram many ER people from the shia community go and they donate blood and i think that's an amazing way that this some of the shia scholars have kind of taken an incident that looks very horrific and looks it kind of shames let's say islam and especially she i slammed by the media and they've given that a very compassion of rendition in saying look guys don't do this but instead of that why don't you go down a clerk and I think the overall message it doesn't have to be on the 10th of muharram but the overall message sunni scholars should encourage also of doing things

like that cool that yeah exactly i think that's a very creative as SKL SKL in espanol people is it's awesome the the kind of solution they came up with right so what are some of the questions let's mm-hmm you know you open face book and it goes off on the worst is like you know I fall asleep sometimes so often like I'll be sitting on my chair and I'll just fall asleep and sometimes I'll have my hand yeah don't let your

imagination I love my phone in my hand so and then and I think oh my god whatever what did I go into what do I like what it's gotta explain what have I subscribed to people like multi Oblates just subscribe to huh okay it's s more interesante so move these now move these

supports those celebrities as well well what else what else is new people I'm just going into the questions anything new going down what's let's see what does the first say we've raised him onto ourselves who defends you're talking of Shiraz I've given many explanations of that it doesn't say it depends which verse you're speaking about one size we gave him death that we in near a Farrakhan moto efika I'm raising you and

I'm giving you death that's the verse to Jesus in the hora but anyway I mean and then people some people want to interpret the word death as a non-literal death but that's up to them can you initiate a dialogue with Auster abdul-rahman hasana salafi dialogue what would we possibly have to discuss in common as a dialogue mature Salaam if this hey we are going for Amara soon and I wanted to know if the contraception

pill can be used huh how do you Muraki Lia Giada yeah honeymoon Peter they're going on oh sorry there's more to the question I thought that's a rather interesting question going on Oh Marat so we're just wondering if also if it can be used to delay the menses oh sorry sorry my my

word my god that answer come too quick I had to open up the so if you could delay the menses a ChaCha yes of course of course you can delay the menses no problem no I probably must delay delay the menses okay so and you know something I'll tell you something interesting people that too quick

don't worry is there medication for things like what what did I say is he on is it the best Eterna are nothing that's the kind of coming then it was better that you didn't come that's poetry yeah it's innocent it's your minds are filthy people you need your your mind you need to control your mind right so oh I was gonna say I was getting distracted it's interesting that even in the time

of the Companions they used to use certain herbs certain plants that would delay the menses mmm so this was this thinking was back then because I've read that some of the Companions used to advise that why don't you make updates to have these to use a particular leaf from I don't know whether it was the Iraq branch or something some tree and herbs and they would kind of make some kind of potion out of that and that would delay the menses so that's but it's interesting to see that it's interesting to see that people

back then were using these kind of methods as well so what else is people what what is a lot is going on you know what is going on people masala there'll be time for masala uh mostly Ibrahim Ibrahim Amir is in the house people our young Maliki to be Mufti in shell boys in the house LGBT parkfield equality act come on of the you know you wanna I wanna what see the use of is

saying that come on the LGBT pot field equality act come on move T you know you wanna don't fight the feeling you know you know you want to I honestly don't want to I have zero attraction this way you know I'm sorry my friends in the user rather this one only brotherly love I'm afraid so I'm not sure what the question is they right so in the work

he'll of Amritsar newspaper Marana abul kalam azad wrote in a bitchu a heaping praise on to Hollen Qadiani when whole Anthony died what are your thoughts well maulana abul kalam azad is an amazing scholar of the past he's also associated with the D&D scholars but he was a very kind of open-minded scholar I believe he was half of Arab descent and half Indian descent I think that's I could be mixing things up but and he was very critical about certain issues and he wasn't like

a blind follower in things and amongst one of those things was this topic of the second coming of Jesus he was also one of those scholars that said that that was just a myth and wasn't actually authentic but it's so allegedly the hairs is asking that he wrote an obituary praising haraam Qadiani upon his death what are my thoughts look I would say look if he did fine I mean you don't hold on I'm admitted off Qadiani I know look in the past I've cracked a few jokes a few I had him and him you know Hariram

Hariram serial kisser there was a character that I was showing but look we don't actually know you know we've never met Olamide miss eppadi on e I do feel that he was suffering from some kind of mental health issues and maybe other than those issues aside he may have been generally a great human being he may have been obviously people who knew him his contemporaries would know that better they you know may have met him sat down with him he may have been I don't know like somebody who did other

things so besides is whacko idea on of him being the saved messiahs oh sorry the Messiah sent to save the world beside that he may have actually been a very decent person to two people in their interaction you may have been I'm not saying he was I'm not saying he wasn't I don't know about him like that I never met him and I've never met anybody that met him but so if abul kalam azad who most likely would have actually met him most likely he may you know say some good words about him after he passed away why not I don't think there's anything wrong praising other human beings especially

if you know them you see I was being asked about him from a theological perspective not as a human being I was being asked about him what do you think about him claiming that he came to save the world and I thought well that's that's not only a joke but it's not a funny one then obviously because some of the colonies were trolling me so and I told them stop trolling me and they didn't and then obviously you know how this one worth email if you troll a troll back so I was obviously trolling him so I was showing and saying that

look well look at you know just look at his turban and look at this and that but I was really primarily trying to speak from a theological perspective that look I don't believe miss up a Yanni came to save the world and if he did he did an awful job of it because he don't save Jack all like nothing saved so that was my perspective but as a human being he might he might have been a great human being he might have been somebody that you know visited the sake and gave in charity and smiled at me it might have been I don't obviously these things I wasn't being asked like what do you think of him as a human being because I would just say I honestly don't know he may have been a very the fact that he

has followers shows that he must have been a good human being to at least so many people he must have been so that's a that's what I would say like so there's no harming in people speaking nice about him Melissa how do you pronounce it on epsilon or sit Salah mostly I need to repeat my question and ask you to answer tonight you must answer this is one of those this is basically you ignored my

question right so DM of T this is like one of those what is it dear D Dre oppose the you know the the problem aren't questions that my you know the one we this that face this one with the lid where she writes in and says what was it the problem we have dear something and she writes into this guy and she says well dear whatever I've got a problem that I set off I went

so I live me my sister whatever and and my husband was there and I was going off to work and I got in the car and I drove up and about so many meters down the car kind of broke down he stalled so I thought okay look I'll just go back in and quickly so she says I went in and and I found my husband having an affair with my own sister so you know can you help so he responds by saying oh I think if I think if you switched off the car gave it a while and started it again it

should hopefully give it's like a cold engine can store lap times it's okay you know if you let it run for a rivet for a little while just get it warmed up and then take that's the kind of you know we completely missed the question anyway folks what's going on what's going let's get this question before I miss it could you please explain why Allah sent down christian narratives Holy Spirit Jesus as the Word of God I know and you made it clear in past sessions that it was

about building bridges and highlighting connections between Christians and Muslims Muslim communities but right there well where are we Muslim but I can't understand why then we don't follow these particular ayats in our living tradition I would even say most of the omote in item Wow question by Melissa people

[Music] sorry there was just some chat I was trying to see if I could make sense of some of the comments I couldn't write so Melissa I have answered before that these verses that were used in the Quran like the Word of God or the Holy Spirit were there to build bridges between Muslims and the Christian communities because Islam in its formative years it was a make-or-break deal that said I don't think Muslims deny those verses today I don't think that they but I think they just never they always just understood it as in a kind of

metaphorical sense like God Jesus being the Word of God that he that were Kelly metal that his word which Allah Allah Miriam that God had sent onto Maryam so most Muslims it depends some Muslims understood that to mean how Jesus was born without a father and therefore that word was the command to be so many Muslims translators that some Muslims translated as no he was just the like the word as in he was there to spread the good word as in this is what he was like the

gospel the good news the good word like that kind of so it's more a metaphor that his message was one of hope like he came to remove the Jews from a kind of a very rigid scriptural ISM to this you know this open liberated a spiritual sense of religion so I think most Muslims they don't really and hence they associate a lot of in Islam there's a culture of associating a lot of spirituality with Jesus and these words are all help others the Holy Spirit and spirit and the Word of God and the

people call him roof Allah the spirit of Allah and so I think there's a lot of spirituality associated with Jesus but I don't think Muslims Muslim definitely don't deny it that sense any versus or any message to do with Jesus like that but they don't take those things literally that's all I don't think I mean I don't maybe I haven't understood your question properly but I don't think I don't really see that being a problem in that sense somebody said that mount is saying it's okay to praise Him even now as a

person after he knows his beliefs and false claims right okay so that can you praise I like I said it's okay to praise somebody as a person no it's not a endorsing they're like you don't need to endorse their message like you can always use certain like some people could have some very good positive let's say attributes about them but maybe they've got a lot of problematic ones as well so it doesn't mean like so we spoke earlier on about this terrorist in New Zealand now somebody could say oh you know he took care of pets and things like this he could have had a positive

attribute to him but it's all eclipsed and shadowed by this evil act that he's carried so in light of that it would be wrong to start praising him there and then because he's just done a horrific horrendous act and this is why some of the media are horribly responsible for like especially the Daily Mail for saying things like are the poor little blonde boy who you know how did he get misled and you think I'm gonna sorbet now you think well what do you mean the poor little blonde boy this is trying to just evoke sympathy for this butcher

this person was just butchered you know fifty people if not more now so there's a time and place but my point is volum Marisa Qadiani has been long dead you know long dead so if somebody asked him can anybody praise him as a human being like we did some let's say some human good acts of course you can there's nothing but generally we as Muslims don't accept his message okay hope that makes sense people Imam Marc Manley is in the house

animal salmon chef Ann Machado silent tasha Ruffner people those of you that haven't already connected with imam mark you must amazing Imam stateside in America has some very has some awesome podcasts which usually I see on Instagram and also some kind of pictures and photography that he shares and his insights so do definitely if you you know reach out to the shake him and benefit from him right what what about what does a lot these are moving so fast

was it the same kid he became uglier to be honest that's talking about that what does Allah breathe when Allah breathes his raw into a demean and who is the raw you see I think somebody's asking about when Allah says wanna Navi he may Rowena we breathed into Adam our raw what does that mean I think that this Aurora was kind of this is my my take don't have to take you do not have to

accept these people my take was that was I mean it wasn't a physical breathing most people don't accept that to be a physical it wasn't like God breathed into him but this was the just I mean whether you want to say it was a metaphor or it was literary usage of language like we breathed into him most Muslims accept that to be literal usage but I would say what was breathed into this aurora was consciousness that's my personal take that I understand Rohan consciousness to be synonymous but many people disagree with me on that and I

accept that Chaudhary Usman is saying salaam-o-alaikum assalaam Chaudhry Saab right yep so consciousness is my understanding so what are some of the damn do some questions I was about to answer and and I've forgotten now what they are Oh gender dysphoria any military Messala yeah we'll do something muscle of course of course what does Islam say about gender dysphoria if diagnosed can one undergo a gender transformation you see I want to speak

about this let me lay people all right let me loosen up right gender dysphoria right so look gender dysphoria is when a person is confused about their gender or they feel they are the other gender nowadays we get confused how many genders are they I don't like are they still two are we still running on two or is they like esta pasando what's going

on what do we you see so people like as a man you say I want to be I'm actually a woman trapped inside a man's body Oh as a woman you go one day mm-hmm I'm actually a man assault on Rio trapped inside a woman's body and I think you see there are multiple issues to be tackled here one issue is that like first of all where these cases are legitimate biological concerns I believe that there is permissibility where there

are legitimate biological concerns and the medical experts can have their input and say what those issues on the person can have their own introspective analysis and I feel Islam does it has a catering element for that I do believe that but I want to come to some other very important points here you see I think part of this new age people are creating unnecessary confusion I understand look if somebody is gay let them be that's the life it's their

choice and nobody has the right to persecute them I support that I believe that okay now but on the back of all of this there's this push to kind of enable confusion that oh are you really a boy are you really a girl you can be a girl if you want oh you you can be a woman you can be just putting unnecessary doubt into people children they want to put doubt into children I think that is bang out of order I am honestly firmly

against creating doubt for children I think that is a form of abuse I think it's good to add this level what you should say to children is look when you're discussing things like let's say gender roles or sorry like relationships you could say look husband wife like they teach children like my young daughter is 4 4 years old and she's she knows the concept husband wife she knows these things she's seen it on TV she's seen out let's say in real life she's seen me she's been told about our school now to say look this is how it happens

by the way some people might get married if they want to and they haven't done this in at her school but if they wanted to say look some people get married even men some men get married and some women get married to themselves I think that's fine I've got personally no problem if they want to say that you can say that look that's if they do that that's fine some men and men get married some women and women get married but generally you have this husband wife scenario right okay that I'm some Muslims are against that I'm not I think that's fine homosexual people do exist in societies and there's no harm in in creating

creating an awareness about that but what is wrong is to kind of say to these children that oh just because you look like a girl doesn't mean you're a girl do you want to be a boy you know do you feel you're a boy you you can be a boy if you want to be a boy you know or saying to a boy oh just because you look like a boy doesn't mean you do you want do you want to be a girl do you want a girl's name I heard I I was seriously so shocked if this be true I heard there was a school that said as a mandatory task that you have to write

on Valentine's Day a letter to a love letter to the strenght of the same gender if that be true that is disgusting that is abuse you can't do these kind of things you can't say you have to write a love letter you can say look it write a lovely even if it's to the same gender that's your choice but you can't say write a lot everybody today's exercise we're going to everybody's going to be gay and we're going to write a letter to you that you can't be forcing these kind of things on children and confusing them or telling

them things like this creating doubts so that's something I think that needs to be tackled so I agree with this I I'm against that kind of that intensity of confusion another thing I want to pick up on here okay is you know in this day and age people I don't know what it is look I'm all up for women's rights I always support women's rights as much as I can I've always been about empowering women wherever they need to be empowered I feel that Islam empowers them I've always spoken out for equal rights Islamically that whether it's going to

be in the will whether it's going to be in terms of inheritance I've spoken I've given the kind of diversity the different opinions whether it's on things like that the abuse is unacceptable under all circumstances that so once I spoken out and I continue to do that because I believe in that okay that said I seriously do not understand the problem of this age against masculinity people seem to there seems to be this hatred against men being men and I don't know

what that is about like why do you why do people hate on men like they call it toxic masculinity why is it toxic like if you asked me what is the one of the most attractive features of women obviously apart from I could obviously list out all the other side waiter here's images obviously apart from like all men you could list all the physical attributes I'm sure but one of the most major attractive features for me as a person in a woman is femininity most I'm

assuming most men if not all men are so overwhelmingly attracted to femininity like they just are like without they just program we're just obviously programmed to the physical features as well but we're programmed to be attracted to and I'm assuming it must be vice versa I'm assuming I'm assuming and some reports show that even these very you know man-hating feminists kind of women are still attracted to men like that that are very kind of masculine but I don't look whether you like it or don't like it that's up T I'm not saying

everybody has to be very kind of macho or they have to be like that everybody can just be their natural selves but why hate on masculinity like why hate on it what's wrong with a man being a man should be a man for God's sake you know not a half an excuse for like what I don't I don't get that like and people are like or what men should be always kind of soft and should be kind of like a feminine and look if you'll naturally like that fine I've got nope you know I've got no problem with if you're naturally all

kind of soft and how and very kind of effeminate just uh just don't hang around don't hang around the gym changing rooms don't end up in prison and whatever you do don't go to madrasah beware of that Trinity no but I'm saying look if you if you if a person is naturally like that that's fine but what is this push on hating on men who are masculine like oh this is you know oh like men okay they say but why do men have to like like I

say men like this kind of persona of being tough or being kind of like strong or being or they have that kind of macho they they look up to that macho thing oh that's wrong that's evil why is it evil why that's but that's men don't say all but men should cry more they should be more in touch with look I'm not saying that you shouldn't be in touch with yourself and true some men many men find it difficult to express their emotions sometimes and I'm all for encouraging people to do that you know trying to be but you don't need to say like oh let's everybody should just be like all kind

of honestly I the more every time I read this it's like I see online so much and I see American kind of like movements very strong in this you know I see a lot of American social media that is pushing all this whole toxic masculinity toxic masculinity toxic masculinity and I feel like we're like a dying breed thought of the main I'm not men anymore they're just like just half an excuse for one and so so I don't know man like yeah

like very camp you gotta be camp to be like a man now you know this should be gender fluidity you know it doesn't really make a difference and like get out of here man I'm sure that women must find real men attractive not like like I mean like they must do because if men find that femininity attractive then it must by the laws of nature vice versa I don't buy that they find this camp nestled very attractive I mean maybe they do but I find it very difficult to believe but I just think look if you're naturally like that fine but stop hating on men

but yes condemn abuse wherever it happens condemn the deprivation of rides and things like this I'm all with you and I support you wholeheartedly but yeah that's my so what if somebody said what is a real man would choose a boy don't worry yo what is a don't worry Ibrahim you'll find out just go to mother asada they'll introduce you to a few real I'm joking and joke I said joking I'm

the joking right so somebody said my friend I need very funny moment you step in paradise somebody said what will you do the moment you step in paradise I will smoke some heavenly weed what is the athlete of like we have no true understanding but it's it's good to entertain the mind I suppose let's take some questions right okay let's deal with this to ahtur thing man Oh shall we

somebody said like Mike Tyson I think people know what it means to be kind of masculine and I don't think it needs to be defined but there's many examples you'll find them but I just feel sometimes today and you know the reason I was saying this I didn't mean to just have a rant but the reason I was saying this is you know this hatred against men or this masculinity the problem with it is it is then empowering the far right because the the right then are people who are fed up with these kind of impositions because they're saying that this is the left the left and I finally understood what they meant by the left

because I used to think what is left mean so it's the imposition ists it's those who want to equally impose you see otherwise I think being for the left is absolutely fine if that's politically as in less authority authoritarian control more freedoms things like that are all good but we shouldn't be imposing on other people and they want to impose this and then that makes a lot of people angry and they don't have a voice and then they end up putting people like Trump in power because they just fed up you know

they feel that men have been kind of castrated that so this I know I'm joking about it and I'm kind of having a rant but this is a serious problem as well okay so I think those of you still confused you can watch some of those movies from the 80s what some Stallone right so right Daniel happy cos alright okay but I was you know with Daniel happy with you I was I did mention look I was very upset and disappointed with his I seen that article where he's

supporting the far is kind of being very sympathetic to the far-right and I'm just very disappointed with that right so guys let's discuss ok verse in the Quran right I'm going to take a look at somebody's asked for motor water but let's briefly just look at this verse in the Quran it's from surah ahzab verse 50mm shaitana regime let's see people right ok so verse 50 and it's to do with who the prophet salallahu alaihe salam could have as a

wife now people are raising some objections to this verse and they've asked me will we will you know can i kind of shed some light or explanation on what this verse means so the verse is yeah you wanna be you in a lunar locket as were jkerner trt to order una Omar Malek Meno come in Milan a leak so Oh Nabby we have made permissible for you halal for you your wives who you have married and you have given the Maha to and who has come to you into your

possession through through faith Mima fr Allah say now what Bernardo I'm Mika webinars automatic and the daughters through your uncles and the daughters through your wives obinata hardly carbon article attic and the daughters through your maternal uncles and maternal aunt a lotta Hajj of nemac those women who migrated with you right so they left it the Hedra with you one rotten Manhattan in waha botanist aha Linda B and a believing woman if she

was to give herself to the Prophet in Arad Nabil in Astana ha ha if the Prophet wanted her in marriage hardly certainly come in do not mean exclusively for you as opposed to the Muslims generally now called Ali ma ma farratna Ali him fears watching him and we are aware of what we have mandated for them when it comes to their wives and that which comes to them he says and that which their right hand possesses Li ke liye hakuna la caja Raj so that you don't have any inconvenience what can

Allah who have or or AHIMA and Allah is indeed most merciful most forgiving and then this goes on there's another important verse just two verses after so verse 52 that liya hello la condesa remember that women are no longer halal for you voila ant Attabad ellaby Heineman as virgin and you cannot swap you cannot like exchange as in leave wives and take new wives this is to the prophet wallowy Baca who's known even if you were attracted to them allama mela katya minik unless it was what your right hand possesses what can

allahu ala kulli shayin Rafi now the reason I want to explain this verse is because people have asked me that some people are saying well look the right hand possesses that with the profit you know oh what the right hand possesses and God is saying he can have this and if a woman gives herself to the Prophet then the Prophet can have her what does that mean and how come she does the Prophet doesn't have to pay her but normal people like a Maha and normal people pay a Maha and so what is all of this going on and you know is the profit of being given certain exclusive ''tis and so some people were using this as a

kind of attack against the character of the prophet sallallaahu I leave us alone so I try to translate first of all as closely as I could so you can see where they're taking the understanding from then I will give you the explanation okay now yes this verse is something that first of all is to the Prophet by extension it is to other Muslims as well but exclude it comes it's directed at the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam now there is a difference of opinion I will give you the diverse kind of opinions as well but I will tell you what this first

of all meant okay so let me tell you what it actually meant and then I'll tell you those who somebody has shared the sum I think somebody has shared the actual verse here I'm not sure right so this verse is telling the Prophet Allah a new Salaam that Allah has addressed him that the wives that you have taken they are hollow to start off with okay this is the first and foremost important thing why because you have to remember this

came at the time when some people were trying to spread rumors about the Prophet that oh he's married here his marriage is illegitimate oh he's taken so and so as a wife and she's it's not legitimate that this isn't and people have said Oh as any married zeyneb and zeyneb used to be married to what does it say and this was an adopted son of the Prophet and that marriage is is illegitimate hasn't happened and some people there was an NC some people believe that may muna for

example was one of the wives that an Amish Eric sorry Alma Sahin there was one of the wives that gave herself to the prophet and the Prophet accepted her so Pete some people said though that's not a legitimate marriage these are not so there was an a of a kind of like a propaganda and people trying to cast suspicion on the character of the Prophet so that's the backdrop so that's what's going on and there's nothing new about that I mean it was very well known that in Medina people I of the live know babe miss Ahlul and other people who are

known hypocrites that the Prophet spared he did not harm him even though it was well known he's kind of many attempts to even assassinate the Prophet or to at least always conspire against the Prophet and Muslims yet the Prophet even prayed his janazah so there wasn't this but these people were known that they did exist in the very midst of the Muslim community in Medina so so these rumors were there and people spreading this and these verses are revealed so the Allah is telling the Prophet that these wives that you have taken or halal for you so that's the first and foremost

important point in a lunar lacquer as well general attea a toner on that we we have made this heller these wives that you married and you gave dowry and you did this do we have made them hello for you but this is halala do not do not listen to the kind of confusion or the the kind of background noise of these people who are hating on you now the next thing some people were objecting about Marya clip diya now Maria the she was a cop and she'd come from Egypt she

was sent via focus focus was the ruler at the time in Egypt and he'd sent her and gave her to the Prophet said that look I'm sending this now she was sent as a servant the Prophet married her now some Muslims have naively not acknowledged that she was married to the Prophet however the student of Imam Malik even isabella writes in his book one of the most earliest historians who writes he writes a book on the akbar of medina on the inn and he writes a book

on the wives of the prophet saw watanabe in deihi includes mari Alkatiri he was the direct student of imam ali now yes she lived on the outskirts of medina she lived in the early she was not an Arab and most likely probably couldn't speak Arabic maybe she learnt it along the way but you can imagine the kind of outcast scenarios that that would have created so some people disliked their one this was a very high Arabs were quite hierarchical with the tribal structures - she wasn't even an Arab and the Prophet and her had a very good

relationship so you can imagine why some people wouldn't like her and her communication barriers and hence the Prophet so she doesn't have any harm housed her in the early which is outside of Medina it's it was a residence outside of Medina now she is the only person who the Prophet ever came to the Prophet like that like she was given to the Prophet the Prophet didn't just take her like that he married her and this is the proof because in this some people have tried to say oh here Malekith 'i'm enoch means what your right hand possesses but this says mimma are far allow alaikum what is faith

faith is those if in a strict sense they is used in the quran if the Muslims went let's say there was a battle but there was no battle like the Muslim army went some way and there was no battle but the people had abandoned property and they had abandoned wealth and they'd abandoned women and children that everything you round up was called fate but that which was obtained through non warfare that which was obtained through warfare is called Hanina okay so the muharram are not fake you can check the books of Sharia they have a totally separate Bob for them and they have

separate conditions so there was never anything there was never a woman that was ever presented to the Prophet as faith ever so the only incident that that is used here is is Mari el capitan this is what evening our rights in stuff's here this is what Maulana Abdul Karim la3 right sinister see that the only woman that the Prophet ever had given to him was Maria Katia and they say he and some an evening shoe say some people try to say that there was another one called raha now something in an actual battle and he said it was never

Sabbath by any authentic hadith that the Prophet actually took her like that said there isn't a single hadith that proves that that is sahi unquestionably now so Maria Timothy yeah right so she was given to the Prophet but the Prophet Morita once again there were objections to her the other thing that your relatives why does Allah say that were Bernardo Anamika were a matica were Holika a harlot ik what you know you these women are halal and the Prophet did marry from some women related relatives of his but he didn't marry all of these this was

just Allah saying this is permissible not everything that he was saying is permissible the Prophet did so it when he says you can marry the daughters of your uncle and the Duty duties of your arms and the daughters of your paternal or maternal uncle and your maternal it didn't mean he married all of these Allah was making it clear because some people were presenting an objection that this oh we don't believe that permissible so Allah was stating the permissibility in Elna begins we have made these things permissible not mandatory that you have

do it so just to be clear on that now this point then Allah says Allah t ha genomic those women who migrated with you right because this was another question Muslim women that migrated some of them previously dead and the men they'd left their families because they didn't embrace Islam so they came to a new life those that came to a new life if they were married before does that marriage carry on so the question was it didn't so some people were and there were other people and this was two Muslims as well it wasn't exclusive to the Prophet that part that they could other people

married as well they intimate they'd embraced a new faith they'd come to a new residence hundreds of miles away now some people say oh but is that even halal Allah is saying in Helena we have made that ha okay because they've abandoned their ways of old and they've embraced this theme of Islam okay now this one some people had tried to object that were in one rotten minute and in wahpeton of zaharan abhi and a woman a believing woman who gives herself to the Prophet right gifts herself sorry gifts what a button after her in

aradhna be your anus thank a Harley certain men do not mean but this is just for the Prophet now some people have said also the Prophet can if a woman gives herself to him he can have her but but if another man wants her then he has to pay and what's this about and how can the Prophet have any favors done to him look that is so silly and absurd so silly and absurd let me just clarify maja in Islam is a mandatory gift generally speaking okay it's a mandatory gift when a couple get married the husband gives a gift to the wife this is

maja in the incident in fact it's related to this incident because one of the women because there were four allegedly the popular women who gifted who tried to give themselves to the Prophet was OMA sharika dosia and it was hala bint Hakeem and and then they say some people said they were two of this may muna been till hadith and all misaki and Zeinab now these two the latter two are women that the Prophet married some people say they gifted themselves and then the Prophet married them some people say they they aren't from the gifted ones they're just regular women he just approached and proposed himself

but the first two the Prophet didn't marry them so the question here was there were a number of things one objection that people all were wider than the Prophet have to give maha if he wanted why is he allowed to do this why does even have this option there's a debate whether the Prophet ever accepted a woman who said look I give myself to you will you accept me as a wife this meant by the way as a wife but will you you don't need to give me any Mahad did the Prophet ever accept any woman who said that this is a debate many people say there's only two women who said that to the prophet and he never

accepted either of them they are the popular ones or Oh Michele eke is one dosia and whole event Hakeem and she's the one when I she said what's wrong with women don't they have any shame that they present themselves to men like that the other two may muna who was married to the Prophet and enormous Akeem who was a Naboo was married to the Profi there's a debate whether they also came to the prophet and said or did the Prophet propose to them but even if we let's accept that they said and the Prophet accepted them right this thing of gift like oh I don't want a maha from you look most Muslims many Muslim

scholars accept that if a wife was to say first of all I don't want anything from you that that is enough in itself in the hadith when the the one woman presents herself the prophesized look marry you know marry me I give I'll give myself to you and the Prophet doesn't want to marry her and a person says like you know would she be prepared to marry me and he asked the prophet and the Prophet asked then she obviously realizes the Prophet wasn't going to marry and she says okay I'll marry him and the Prophet says to

him you must gift her something and then he says oh but I haven't got anything in prophecies go find a ring Altemus well Oh Hartman I mean Hadid and and he goes and he looks and he does any couldn't find so many struggles and the whole point is it begins with this kind of strand the Prophet says okay well can you at least teach us something from the Quran as a gift and he says okay I'll T and the prophecy is okay fine use that as a gift then knowledge let knowledge be the gift you see why wasn't this gift allowed to just be abandoned for all men because in the society where this came you have to remember it was a very

patriarchal society and certain men may have manipulated that to their advantage to exploit women that in saying look well you know look you need to get married but uh-oh you're not allowed to ask me to give you a gift or you're not and this was obviously it was inauspicious it was obviously an occasion a celebratory occasion and a mandatory gift was necessary that was the general custom that was what they had to do so this is why it's made mandatory for men in general but we people are struggling even for them that many scholars have said the gift could be the gift of knowledge it doesn't like

if you don't have financial means or if the woman says I don't want something that's fine many automat have said that in the books it's not but why the Prophet was allowed to say well from the offset if a woman was saying that well that you see because from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is perspective if a woman was to say to him look I don't want any and she was to say in public I don't want anything from you I'm giving myself to you will you accept me did if the Prophet accepted her the chance of the Prophet exploiting her from an Islamic perspective we don't believe that the Prophet was going to exploit them now somebody could argue that well

oh he's a human he's this he's that they could argue that the first point would be which woman did he actually even accept because the two popular occasions are those women Oh machete addo SIA who he does not Murray and what is it and you've got Halle meant Hakeem who he does not marry so which incidents are we even talking about but yes if the Prophet accepted her fine Allah says in the Quran that if a woman was to say this if in Aradhana being a stanky ha if he wanted to marry her this is hala for the Prophet being a prophet of God

but for people in general let them give a gift now remember this is if a woman herself is in a Marathi movie noir but naphtha halyna be she is saying I don't want something I just want to marry you so that's so there's no exploitation here you know people say oh my god how come the Prophet gets away with there was nothing first of all there wasn't even a single established incident that the Prophet in the two cases of my Munna and zeyneb Oman misaki they were already women from any step established background they weren't kind of poor or anything like this now some people have said oh they said this and other people

said no the Prophet proposed to them so they're not even the famous sins and the famous incidents of the first two who the Prophet marries neither and this verse was simply saying that if you do accept it's permissible it doesn't mean you had to have done it just as it says you can marry from your paternal aunt your paternal uncle your maternal aunt mattel the Prophet didn't marry from all of these we didn't marry from all of them like that so just because it was made halal it didn't mean that the Prophet did it okay this was just saying Allah was saying that these things are not forbidden in essence no any woman that agrees with a man and even most like I

said many scholars will say if she said I don't want something and the guy was fine with that I mean the guy probably would be fine with that but if she wanted that then that's fine many scholars accept that anyway but what they say is that oh but she has to let him at least offer he must offer something now that's in general to express that kind of that community spirit I suppose right so I hope that makes some sense the thing I want to add here was it goes on to say about the profit that you are not allowed after today to marry any

other women beyond what you've already married unless they came through slavery now that's an interesting option because they allowed that if you had an opportunity to free a woman through marriage then that will always be permissible in that context obviously slavery Islam had hinged it to become Haram anyway with the day and age that once it would reach Society would reach a certain stages it would become Haram and many of the great Maliki scholars have written about that as well including chef

Ahmed Baba I believe Tim bhakti from Timbuktu who wrote on that a few hundred years ago as well so but this point see like now most Muslim men are always allowed to marry and remarry and they're allowed to do that but the Prophet wasn't after that that was it he was told in that verse that this is it it's a different story if your wives were to die and you could marry but you can't generally divorce and marry afresh that's the understanding of many scholars and he was results and he was told that the and some people say he was allowed to only marry those who had done hey Jarrah if he was to marry but the

general understanding is that he wasn't allowed to marry anymore that focus on the actual mission so if people were to say that let's say somebody was to say that the Quran was the Prophet saying this is revelation in his own favor like he's trying to manipulate the laws to to exploit people if people are saying this why on earth would the Prophet inhibit himself why would he say you're not allowed to marry after today and you know to - why would eat why would he say this that this is that makes zero sense

he just be tying himself right why not they they because if they arguing oh he was after women why not allow that option rather it says lie and verse 52 lie a Hello la condesa remembered that that that you have married these women they we have made them halal don't listen to their objections don't listen to this propaganda ignore the noise and chaos it is halal but what you have married you have married and they will be no more unica's unless a woman unless they had died or something which they didn't in that sense in the Prophet didn't marry

after that why play such an imposition on himself if this was the Prophet pulling it out of thin air it makes zero sense so I think these verses yes when they have read in certain lights and in certain context and people are presenting them and the emphasizing certain words as opposed to the whole narrative so they're emphasizing oh look it says what the what came to you what was given to you the right hand possesses all slaves slaves but we did the Prophet show me when the Prophet had these things which female slaves did

here which are you talking about this was talking about mario kappa tia and he married her and just because oh if a woman was to give herself to the prophet he but which woman did he marry like that and just because it mentions it doesn't mean that he did it right so so it doesn't mean that he actually and just as it mentions marry you put it you can marry your paternal arms daughters of your patron you know you put up daughters of your paternal on daughters of your paternal uncles daughters of your maternal arms and daughters I think these are hollow they're not Haram

that's what it's saying he didn't marry like each one of them so just because it's showing parameters it's not saying you must do this I think that is very important to explain and I wanted to explain that so as people look in all honesty I want to it's and some people argued that what was exclusive to the Prophet was the number many Muslim have argued that my understanding is different on that because I I don't believe that the the number of wives that a person is allowed to marry is restricted to four I actually believe I go with what Imams show carinii and those people have highlighted that it's

actually unrestricted but it's just based on consent now I'm not saying people need to be doing that I'm not saying you go outside and collect yourself a harem but I'm saying in Islam it wasn't that that wasn't her army wasn't restricted at four that's what I I do see that argument as stronger but because many people believe it was restricted at four so they say oh the other numbers were permissible for the Prophet but I don't believe that I believe that they were always open for everybody there isn't a single sahih hadith to show that only four and was the number that's a very weak hadith as

even after bar has explained right so okay I hope that because the reason I want to explain this was some people say oh look the Prophet was after Oh was he trying was he after women in all honesty seriously the prop you know in a day and age like the prophets time which was a patriarchal society and sex was like a very natural thing it wasn't like a taboo even in our day and age it's interview it wasn't a taboo in their society is very natural right the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if he was after women he had innumerable he

had so much access to to take that route people were offering him money women sovereignty or Aish were offering him from the top we will offer you everything that look you just need to stop this Dawa and I feel that that's a very unfair prejudiced a biased angle towards the Prophet just to kind of hate on him or attack him as people over why did he marry these women in most the cases look in most the cases when the prophet salaallah still unmarried he married many people he married people women who were old

he married um he himself was of the well he married old women his solder was very old arguably older than the Prophet and now you know he married he married other women that were kind of destitute he married but it wasn't oh I'm not saying they were always sympathy marriages I'm not saying that I'm not saying that at all the Prophet did like people and they liked him and they were in a culture that accepted plural relationships now I don't understand what the big deal is when we today are saying look oh we should be accepting of LGBTQ we should be accepting of this you know if a man and a man love each other woman and a woman love each other what's

wrong with that you know what's wrong with this what's wrong with and fine but what's wrong with plural relationships you know why can you be why what where societies accept them wherever people accept them now somebody may say well I don't accept that well don't accept it nobody's telling you to be a part of it it's like saying oh just because I'm not gay well I don't accept the homosexual relationship well fine don't be a part of you know it's not a so just in these societies the irony that we we move to it so much liberation and liberating people we become so judgmental on

societies that accepted certain relationships it's up to them you know if they if they accept it they accept it you know the Prophet gave his wives always a choice in fact it's a verse of the Quran that you know that you have yeah Nisa and Nabi that if any of you wish to leave just leave the Prophet now you have no there is no compulsion for them to stay there was no you know it wasn't like oh they were being forced to stay and stuff like this so just because our view of relationships today is is very kind of usually you know one-on-one that's our relationship understanding

okay fine I'm not saying that's wrong that's fine that works but what I'm trying to say is why be so judgmental against other people where that works for them people today live in open relationships they like don't worry about it you know I'm with this person but we were both in an open relationship chillin chillin in our free time so the thing is that if that you know you can be very open to accepting even open relationships so why hate on just something and say oh but the Prophet was a part of plural relationships and he

must have been misogynistic why so so I wanted to say that look and by the way people don't need to accept him I understand the fact that Muslim non-muslims obviously don't accept the Prophet that's their choice and they do not need to accept his ways they do not need to accept his but I just feel that they should be as objective as possible that's all that's all I'm saying okay I hope that can inshallah shed some light right so all right that's enough of Polly right people have asked can I discuss the white or before we run out

of time today guys so we've got this look well well we've got this concept of tomahto we need to talk about these what is the water now the water is to do with hadith right so right clear Jones Ibrahim shukran for your kind and encouraging words right so

oh and a big shout out to the egg boy I almost forgot people the egg boy are live on man much respect to him I can't honestly I can't believe that that politician whatever is allowed in to be who he is in New Zealand and he ought to be arrested seriously for hate crimes and I I think that a young boy who egged him deserves an international award honestly tribute coming out to you from Monday nights with Mufti if nobody else at least we give him a tribute geo geo

MIDI down to your right so right now coming to this title we need to discuss the water people because a lot of people use this they say certain hadeeth are muta water taul taur means something that has been transmitted on mass that it's so transmitted that it's impossible the definition they use is yester hail it's impossible or inconceivable that everybody co-consul were co-conspirators in bringing about this lie so you know it's so it's like

duh it's like what are those things like dude that's to water okay so when a thing is of this value it is motivated so people give the example often like how do you know a country exists so you could say well I've I suppose more so today you could say well I've seen through social media I've done this and so many people like I said how do you know China exists say well obviously through all these things today I suppose through technology we can actually zoom in but in the past how did people know China existed well they just knew because everybody knew it was common

knowledge that it couldn't be a conspiracy just to delude you so that is the definition of toois tour and a thing that has that value is called motiroti in arabic now these are just fanciful terms but why was this debate important well this was a theology debate a debate to do with belief it was nothing to do with hadith it was to do with how you believe how do we know what we know so within belief within theology Ikeda o Kalam almal Kalam you have a section which is to do with how do we have

knowledge like how do we know anything like if I asked you how do you know something so you will say and this this in modern day in modern terms this is called epistemology okay big word don't worry bad people to work bad okay so epistemology is dealing with the branch of knowledge how you know things how you have the acquisition of knowledge so as an example a sympathy right as an example your senses somebody may say how do you

know something simple I saw it okay fine I heard it you know senses I felt something all these what about how else can you know something you can sometimes deduce things like I can put something together and I can introduce alright that explains you know I saw that well this jacket was missing from here I left it here I saw him wearing that exact jacket it meant he must have been here you understand now this obviously I didn't see him here but I can deduce that and I can and then you can make inductions as well you can take loads of so for example yeah I don't know like I've boiled water it's boiled here or let's

us say I don't know like every crow I've seen like is black so now I make an induction okay so by principle all crows are black now this is a piece of knowledge that I've arrived at by you know looking at different informations and drawing it together and drawing a principle so there's different ways on how you can have arrived at knowledge and this the fancy term for this is epistemology so now during this discussion in a fee that they discussed something called tort or they said well

tort or is one way you can acquire knowledge you can say well how do you know how do you know China exists in the past they would say well I know because it's common knowledge everybody knows it do they would have made it up just to trick me they will find common knowledge will accept as a means of knowledge you see so this is this is where the discussion of thought or interest now why was this important this was important in the sense of how do we using our knowledge arrived at God and argue is there a god isn't there a god how do we argue with evidences because people will say well I know these two

world knowledge anyway and that's why you discuss epistemology so I just wanted to clarify the backdrop to we this comes in then along comes a lot people birth daddy who is a great hadith scholar but yeah allegedly he stood now and then have a little drink I don't know if that's true but some of the hanafis have mentioned that he was likely his idol Cory says that he would like his occasional but he was a great scholar of Hanuman legend in

Hadees however I don't know whether the drink part is true but and if that made had a little cello jihad who died right so he in his writing his book on hadith brings in the discussion tomorrow for no reason it's nothing to do with Hadees the question was look how do we know that the Prophet the discussion of hadith rose how do you okay the Prophet said this but how do you know the Prophet said it and and somebody said well I know because he told me and he told him and he told him so okay that's fine

say ah but they could be wrong true they could be oh but what if it was common knowledge that the Prophet said something say ah well sure sure common knowledge it's that it's motor water it's like China you know like they couldn't have all been lying about that so okay so he puts this topic in as a discussion in 'soul hadith they by opening a can of worms ain't even the word actually opening Pandora's box to a calamity that would come later on so

what happened from here some scholars started to say ah we've found motivated hadith so you're like Warren is that you want about so they've tried to say well so you have some people like so for example one of the river Nerys of us all hadith openness Allah to be fair to him he writes in his in his makishima that actually motivated hadith is very unlikely to ever exist in hadith he says it's very unlikely he's quite dismissive of it but even a Hajer by his

time he says what are you talking about motivated okay how many people you know common knowledge like if I asked you how many people do you need to tell you to believe in something so these people had this discussion in the past and they wrote 40 people and then somebody said 20 people and somebody said 12 and somebody said 10 somebody said 5 somebody said 4 so they started writing these down in the books oh this is for it to be common knowledge at least this many people must say so even a Hodja is

like a I mean he he caused havoc in our tradition by actually pushing this thing of Oh actually of course a hadith can be motivator how can it be what about it 10 people say it's fine hamdulillah it's impossible to now be a lie anything whoa hold your horses mate why is that impossible for 10 people to get it wrong so this whole discussion of motor water is nonsensical this is why I asked these people show me in the early scholars anybody who ever spoke of it

Imam Malik a man Buhari imam muslim abu told his great scholars nursery even imagine and in the times you've got who if not a van a great who has his great hadees book even high banders he's one of the major scholars of that era of hadith collection what does he actually say he says there is no such thing as motivated hadith all hadith is isolated from narrations that means one person heard it from the Prophet from him usually just one person maybe two people and that's how good even if you get multiple one people but

is still just an isolated narration so he said that you had Alba Carroll has me endorsing his statement you had even a be done endorsing his statement these were all scholars saying look there is no such thing as motive our tale even imam shot to be saying that look this is a fruitless discussion it really didn't belong in a Saluja dthe at all so today what happened is the skull is anything they want or push they just try to claim the hadith is motor water ok like oh yeah this is motivated why because I found a few different chains of it oh yeah

now you can't deny it Haram to deny its Kufa to deny so look to understand all of this just pause the discussion for a moment pause the discussion for a moment and just understand one simple thing how many people does it take for you to hear to think that something is true how many people like you just think about that like if I told you you're about to receive some news how many people must

tell you for you to believe it's true if it was simply people telling not evidence not like he is video footage he is how many people must it take you think about it if five people told you something do you believe that must certainly categorically now be true there is no way on earth that can be anything other than because five people have told me what if 20 people told you must it categorically now be true can it still not be wrong now if you just think

about this if you just think about this the whole discussion opens up in front of you in all honesty you wouldn't accept even 20 people as certainty like you sure you'll accept it as overwhelmingly come sure that's convincing its convinced it's not certainty like the way you don't need convincing that China exists you're not like you know what yeah I'm convinced II know that's like to you

it's as plain as day that China does exist that these countries do exist because that is absolute common knowledge so you just think about this discussion on tawa toward what would it take what number would it take for you as an individual to believe that something can't even have 1% can't even have 1% out and the truth is that is a discussion in and of itself that can you even have certain knowledge but perceptibly certain what would it take and I would say that it won't I wouldn't accept even if 20 people talk I think

that would be good I'd be like oh wow I'm definitely Wow kind of I'm being convinced here because there's a lot of people said it but I want some evidence I want to check something out for myself I don't want to just 20 people said it doesn't mean it it's impossible for it to be an error so I hope that shed some light and what's happened is unfortunately sectarianism has entered the game and scholars have hijacked this discussion and anything they want to push they just call it

motor water it's like no it isn't not much water mate and then they took it a step further and said because we're calling it more to earth and it doesn't even matter it does not even matter if all those chains were weak this is what if no hydro rights if no Hodgins says even if all the chains are totally weak some of them say they don't even need to be Muslim they don't even need to be this and then you say well ok if all that be true how come

you don't accept the motor water of the Shia because they don't need to even you know because they see at least a Muslim now you yourself said the chains could be weak you just said so many people have to say why don't you accept them all to attend variations of the Shia so you don't know Gavin cabinet so look so you contradict yourself so people are using this as a tool for manipulation right so if you hear this thing people say if you go against water water you're not a Muslim anymore that stuff is nonsense this kind of emotional

blackmail is so outdated and it's actually false as far as the evidence is concerned so guys I just thought I want to share that I think we'll leave it with that is there anything somebody's saying about masti is there something that's happened share some is there something you'd like me to quickly make a mention of any interesting points anything that's that's kind of gone down if not we can wrap this up right somebody's saying why did all of my accept used hadith unless proven

otherwise what accepted used had Ethan Phyllis I don't understand the question so and right somebody said if you follow this this means that ye you might as well just reject all hadith no that's not true hadith like I said you follow the three principles most people do not learn Islam through hadith anyway they learn it through the living tradition that they already have right so this is nonsense a myth that you learnt Islam by sitting down and opening hadith books no you did not make you learnt Islam usually is just taught on mass as part of the living tradition from father to

child and that from parent to child that is how Islam is taught and he still is taught like that's how most people acquire Islam the rest is an academic study now we have books of fit that teach you what the rulings already are which already based on the sonar and the hadith books the three principal so long as it doesn't go against reason doesn't clash with the Quran and doesn't Fujin Islamic principle Milam you by email McCool hola Mohalla philomene are today low soon these principles will lay down by the the great all amounted eat themselves right so okay people let's uh let's call this a wrap

I think this whoa is at the time quite a bit we've discussed today people as always you've been awesome somebody some people did say about multi masala well let's just this mean so many tragedies this week let's not just tear somebody else let's not just take somebody apart for no reason but what you can do is if there is any interesting gupchup then you can message we reach out to me with anything worth discussing worth doing a bit of the musty masala and or definitely will chat about it but other than that I can't really think of any

any kind of masala really that's coming to my minds people do send me all kinds of stuff they send me all kinds of hey we'll check this out check this out get all these articles I get everything some of them from the most bizarre to but if there's anything interesting do give me a shout is dr. monsoon in the house if he is Alan Alan people dr. Mansour is an awesome scholar based in Cardiff very enlightened and in tune with currently issues do reach out to him right so people let's call this a wrap oh I was going to say something interesting that

oh let's leave it till next week in shallow guys take very good care of yourselves shall ma any issues reach out to me what Salam o aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato and alright people alright over now and that by the way I do that to provoke people even more I had somebody say why do you do that so devil sign a devil sign and you think well did the devil come himself and teach you that his sign talk about blind following the devil sign the devil moon anyway guys having all sometime Saruman

come
