the rest of you already know the drill people you know the drill your veterans now you click like you click share you get this out there people let let the games begin let the fittin and facade begin alright let me mix this up that's what I'm talking about that's what I'm talking about so I apologize for the delay today was delayed look at that actually he's getting out of order now it's kind

6:17

of like I need to bloody well anyway and so I was trying to do a YouTube live as well today for people who are not on Facebook but are on YouTube and for God's sake it drove me insane and in the end I couldn't get it done so next week it is next week right meanwhile are you going to event are you going to event is that is that code and fun are we on a

6:49

special code here I gonna event that's what I'm talking about do you have a YouTube channel I do have a youtube channel it's mostly ablaze al-maliki's so well that was a difficult one was so people don't we drink alcohol brother por que por que well ii only afghanistan

7:20

non-crop only well it is you see i could i could listen to you but but as they say you know this is I read somewhere they say alcohol because that's nothing interesting ever began with a fruit salad this is not alcohol relax hold your horses or is it not

8:01

cuss me so I only did the alcohol in the days I can't I can't find the cocaine joking or am I so let's let's see what we're looking at well there was a huge event that went down no stars no mana leak on he's in the UK

8:35

people arise in the UK touring around he was in Birmingham that was and Martha's in the house and on Sakhalin right so yeah and Birmingham was a huge success and London was a huge success from what I hear Birmingham I was there we it was an amazing event fully sold out great kind of gathering ambience the Fung Shui people the Fung Shui it was had a great kind of feel we got to chill out

9:15

afterwards so that was awesome as always discussions you know I shared a little snippet of some of my discussions right so and people were saying well you know could you share more events are more kind of private discussions and stuff like this and the problem is that it's it's difficult because you know me I'm a controversial guy this contrast AG controversial people problems

9:52

see I I have problems you know people for summary it beats the hell out of me but people for some reason don't take a liking to me I possibly couldn't understand why I couldn't understand why yeah so this is the this is the thing you see but I just gotta be who I gotta be you know what I'm saying

10:21

so that's you know you just so sometimes in these private gatherings you have to have discussions where you could be saying all swords and you want sometimes you want your views they're still working theories and it's gotta be a bit of a safe zone you know one of those safe environments where you can just we can express ideas without being judged without being and people are too keen people are too keen to judge people are

10:56

too keen to judge and so this this is the problem then just to be fair just because a scholar is engaging me on a discussion doesn't mean that he has the same views he doesn't mean that doesn't mean I have the same views as him so I think sometimes people and I know you know it's not fair for for my guests if I get guests to kind of engage them in a discussion and then kind of open them up to my kind of heat of hate that that that people sometimes they love hate that they send my way so just

11:35

be unfair II it'd be unfair that yeah that's what I'm talking about people that's what I'm talking about so yeah this so P so that's the reason I can't obviously you wouldn't really be right that said it was interesting because even when I was with Assad no man he was actually given some hate mail so he was reading it with me in the car so it's interesting that people hand over kind of mail and it's amazing you know like

12:14

that with sincerity you know with through Salaam aleikom one of those ones where people are like so they like you know brother you know for the sake of Allah you need to repent you need to seek forgiveness from Allah you know you have committed blasphemy you have them god knows what what he you know he's allegedly done and it wasn't to do with the other kind of issues that he's had it was to do with things like allegedly

12:53

he's he's is misguided from Islamic perspective and he's he's blaspheme and stuff like this so they want him to kind of do Toba and make apologies and public statements of I have blasphemed and therefore I returned to the faith Allah I don't know what world people living honestly what world do people live in this is it's surprising you know the way they and and their letters are written

13:28

with such such sincerity Allah that's that's the truth man that's the truth what's that there's a poem of of Ahmed for us I mean this there's quite a few I have actually come across some very interesting ones in in the

14:07

same light of these where it said there was this poet I didn't really read about him before his name was his name's barbash right so an order to poet and he said hum have o to t remember to t weakest ilvala topic that we are like those you know those those kind of boatman with broken these kind of broken boats joke in our own community who emerge at that who try that whilst

14:43

trying to make the diverse shows that these shows that are so apart was trying to bridge them or doing this their entire lives they they they they died kind of making this connection and and he says that on capital Corinne's mhmm Eraserhead that yet we have the the allegations of those people of the murder of those people Joha meze her

15:18

Pilate will merge adding that those people who are trying to poison us and whilst poisoning us they accidentally died yeah we have to face their allegations this is the interesting world we live in but people are so full of hate sometimes it's interesting so that was an amazing event some interesting discussions people did ask about some of the summaries of the discussions they're very similar I mean I highlighted them on Facebook you can check that their inch'allah how can this be funny

15:56

Kristi Lynn Robinson is asking how can this be funny well first of all Christie that was in order so I don't think you even understood herself to start off with yeah mm-hmm you're obviously in the wrong place then so now let's move on right I've been sent whilst people are tuning in I've been sent some this clip that was doing the rounds of some Shia Imam and the

16:33

Shia Imam was I don't know what is I think his name is though he D or something he's an Australian Imam and he's insulting said no Marathi Allah WAN and he's openly saying Omar was gay and stuff like this and and I can prove it if anybody you know anybody wants or stuff like this so few people had sent that to me saying can you take a look at it I did I think the guy has genuinely

17:08

lost the plot I mean I would advise him to quickly resort to some Mota [Laughter] what is the sheer temporary marriage but I you see I would advise him that war on earth is he on about seriously he's like he's like acting so confident like I'm damn enough so confident I'll challenge anybody I challenge anybody but it

17:47

doesn't make any sense you see it makes no sense because you see what you're going to do is read books that the majority like 90% of the Muslims do not accept so they do not accept them as authentic books so you're going to read some narrations of some let's say alleged shia of the past making these allegations but that's obviously seen as you know unauthentic like so how does this debate work I mean understand how does that

18:23

discussion work because nobody accepts you obviously wouldn't accept so many sources and the SUNY or maybe you'd accept some Sony sources but you wouldn't accept the chains of criticism to be to be applied so you might accept some narrations in the body but the body transmits from people like Abba Messner who are like aggressive she ally kind of totally wacko like totally extremist she I like so my point is would you wouldn't accept any chains that have been criticized by Sunni scholars and we

19:02

obviously wouldn't accept she are kind of saucy so how would so work so the person was just going with so much confidence god damn it god damn it you know I'll debate anybody on this that umar radiyaallahu anhu was homosexual mean and then his water kind of i he this was his logic this Imam the Shia Imam though he D his logic he said he was the first terrorist because Isis

19:37

accept him I mean this is his logic that Isis accept Omar therefore Omar is the first terrorist and anybody who endorses Omar must be Isis it's like water malfunction that's like what what are you smoking seriously you need to chill out a little man especially with sheer

20:16

effect is generally I think it's got a lot of easy for tau in there so why are you so tense I don't get the problem so this is absurd this is like saying this is akin to saying that Oh Isis believe in the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so anybody who believes in the Prophet Muhammad must be Isis that's dumb that's like it you could take it a step further Isis believe in Adam anybody who

20:54

believes in adam alayhis-salam the prophet adam it's just absurd like what what are you what are you just drawing is this equation how did you write any commonality must necessitate symmetry Wow now that I said it like that it just sounds so eloquent so Isis like the color blue oh damn working blue change that change that Isis like the color black anybody who likes the color black must be what a

21:33

I mean and then to be fair see many Shia Imams would condemn this kind of this Shia Imam and many Shia Imams and ayatollahs have given the rulings and the fatwa that it's Haram for they for Sunni I mean somebody's don't do it anyway but for Shia they said it's Haram to insult the venerated figures of Islam of Sunni Islam which is majority Islam so

22:16

and in light of that crazy I thought it almost said but it says tack me oh he sent a poem saying Duchamp ah hey yo yo Derek UNAM maybe who par Ivana oh sorry ma Rosa yeah yeah that's from my Bollywood songs I thought it was a poem but in light of that you see when people say in light of that I've got one for you with shaman para varnish ah mais a flame and piranha is the muscle but in

22:55

light of that people like this calling people to to challenge them it's not a problem challenging them but how would that discussion go anyway you engage somebody in dialogue they gotta at least have some brain cells even an amoeba a single-cell amoeba can outsell them that's that that's the thing and regarding what somebody just sent the poem and putting

23:34

that in light of these challenges here is a poem that that who thought marijuana that I I may be a month well he's giving it's a simile yeah it's a metaphor that um a piranha McGuirk with a motto ho queer rot oh ho they should be at least a flame they should be nightfall John Day Niko who has a quick but the whole this is the thing you know you can take up challenges but there's gotta be some worst in front of

24:14

you kuch toh Baba this is just just ludicrous kind of yeah so that's been going on but I would say that ignore these things I would that these people like imam tohe dr not representative of the shia community generally i think it's important generally we don't kind of like we don't alienate certain members of let's say the shia community and stuff like that what we make it clear that we don't tolerate abuse but we shouldn't kind of

24:52

be sectarian person you know sectarian driven in any way and i'm sure look like most muslims shia muslims are the same they just like as in they're just born in a Muslim Shia Muslim family and they've just been brought up like that they don't really understand so many things and they don't know like a lot of Sunni Muslims don't know what this is all about actually so yeah but he is not representative of the Shia just to kind of get that out there alright so okay other than that what else is going down people what else is going down what

25:30

questions look at this people are just writing the lyrics of one of shadowhands songs behave people behave how should a president or leader be selected in a democracy right the thing is look as Mohammad has a breathalyzer be careful peeps why don't have I missed something is this always this to do with me is this because I'm are they trying

26:07

to interested in the Maliki mess up all right school of Medina all the way right so let's let's get back to what I was there was a question how should it leader be selected within Islam a leader within Islam look it's very important to understand that in Islam there is no set mechanism about ruling Islam never came to set up it was never about power and control and or statesmanship or empire or leadership or caliphate it was never about these

26:46

things if it was about these things then you can be certain The Messenger of Allah would have explained this stuff during his lifetime in great abundance so the the point is that you see what Islam says is that yes if Muslims find themselves in certain situations they should have a sense of rule as opposed to anarchy that's what it's saying how do you select leaders you could just select them you could vote the mean you could have a democratic understanding as

27:26

chef and you see different you see like a worker really allow one being selected by people you see as a meritocracy like they felt he had more merit you see how he just chose Ouma as in that was just a selectively a choice Omar oh the alarm shows the committee who had to choose amongst themselves these were different methods he demonstrated that there was no divine method and scholars today like the great Mauritanian scholar mohammad

28:04

IBN al-hassan a-doodle hasn't on YouTube AQA where he's speaking about democracy saying that look in our day and age democracy as flawed as it may be is the best possible best of all options that we as human beings have right now so so that's what we would generally go it can you explain the Quran well Jake Halliday I'm not sure what aspect of the Quran the Quran is but by Muslims it is to Muslims the the Word of God the book of

28:42

God revealed on to the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him so that's explained right so okay you eat kosher anyway right yeah you can eat kosher meat as as Muslims yes you can right out of all religions better than its other than Islam which would you say is closer to the truth it's I don't know if it works like that I don't know if it works like

29:20

that or if it works like that for me interestingly enough I find many not all but I find some atheists to be on a perhaps to me the closest of all searches to to God as an strange statement but I but I do actually find that to be kind of true for me I find some maybe not all but atheists too

29:56

perhaps or agnostics especially 80s because I think atheist are sometimes more concerned with God then religious people are and I I find some of their search to be very kind of driven by an unsettled a kind of uh this this this kind of blazing fire within them for truth I don't know that's my experience shares what are your thoughts on Nawaz Sharif no special I don't have no none

30:36

of those thoughts I don't have sin make say a lot oh they're all especially coming to people like Nawaz Sharif take my thoughts can only be kind of pious now I think he's his immediate and corrupt needs to go oh you know what did I comment last week on I saw a video I saw this video somebody sent me this video of this guy

31:14

speaking about like this really long beard upon the seller he's not even on Urkel he's not even practicing in accordance is upon the seller he's on top of them so his hardline person British maybe from down south somewhere presumably London speaking about how Islam instructs us to look down upon the coup far-right those of you just tuning

31:53

in click like click share people get this out there get it out there so so this so he's speaking about we need to Islam says you need to look down upon Co far and that's and you need to embarrass them and you needed so he's saying all these things and he said and he speaks about food and he quotes this hadith voila yeah cool ooh Tomica a lotta P that let nobody eat your food except a pious person and and so he kind of says I practiced this hadith and I don't let

32:31

these people eat my food and I don't know he says I have these non-muslims working for me and he addresses some Sikhs racist Lee which I thought was utterly unacceptable because in these kind of contexts not only is it unacceptable from a racism perspective but it's utterly unacceptable that he's doing this under the banner of Islam so he kind of refers to them as like you know that guns or something like leads and and I think that's so unacceptable considering the fact that one it's Haram

33:11

to do that anyway to refer to people of a different religion like that a risk in this kind of context very clearly forbidden in Islam secondly it's stupid because Muslims cover their head you know it doesn't even make any sense it's like it's like saying the equivalent of that's what he's saying but around the world most of the people that wear turbans are Muslims so this is just as this is the kind of this is the kind of level of intellect that we're dealing with so he

33:51

says oh these people came to me and I was like what you're not getting my food that only applies Perceval law only letter pie brother brother brother only letter sorry I can't do the the full-on London accent but right so he's saying the only letter pious person eat your food and you think you God you know what I want to really describe him but then people are gonna say hey people are gonna say yeah Musti can't control he

34:27

can't control his language but this is the kind of behavior that we have and nothing these people they like how the Prophet describes that other people will come and they will recite the Quran so much preoccupied themselves with worship they will make your worship look like nothing compared to their worship yet they will miss Islam they will miss the Dean younger economy nerdini that Morocco Sammy Mena Romania that how an arrow

35:04

misses the prey that's how they mr. Dean and I'm not saying that they kaffir I don't believe they kaffir but it's they miss the true understanding of the team that's one of these they missed it they are worlds away from it so yeah so you get this kind of stuff I saw her and I was disgusted but I thought this is all this is the kind of stuff Britain first Tommy Robinson and all these kind of Islamophobes love this is just these people met I don't be surprised if they

35:43

support each other because they must be having a field day with this kind of stuff you must love this stuff but yeah anyway let's move on people let's move on what are we looking at what are we looking at some questions what if you don't find a price person then tell that Wahhabi to stay hungry [Laughter] seriously man this person wasn't even like your regular selfie he was like he was like a selfie instead he was something else he was he like was on he

36:22

was like a super selfie on speed this guy something else man an embarrassment to Muslims right so chef you seen the chuff-chuff magician I've I haven't met him in person although one of my friends does look like him so I was thinking of setting up an impersonation and pretending that I'm with him and you might see that soon but I heard there's some something about the chuff-chuff like some kind of he was busted

37:00

somewhere for something I'm not exactly sure what I think like fake miracles and stuff like that but that's absurd anyway everybody knows these kind of miracles don't happen people you need to wake up smell the coffee ah ah fair you need to wake up these kind of things don't happen right so you know but superstition superstition superstition right so what's going on those of you just tuning in click like click share people test test your Eman that's what you need to do you need to that's how you need to

37:35

test give me advice I'm in Syria quick jump what are you doing in Syria whoa may Allah bring peace and stability to the land of sham I mean so but what's all this about Thursday Hatem well actually its Hutton in order to Hutton is like it actually means to close something but it's used to mean a kind of ceremony in which some

38:12

rituals happen and it's used for certain things like the Hatem of the Koran the Hatem of different things and what people do is every Thursday they kind of put out a bit of food and they've read certain things and kind of blessing and they have this kind of belief which is really none of this is based is authentic in Islam it's just folklore superstition they have this belief that spirits are coming and the spirits of the deceased are visiting them and they will take the food which in all honesty if I did come back from the dead as a

38:52

spirit and I turned up and somebody just had like half a glass of milk for me and some like a little bit of halwa I would be seriously disappointed I would be like you you taking the meat me like is that is that how you welcome I mean I I just came back from the dead for this for this stuff you understand you understand the level of sacrifice I'm making if not right you don't you don't appreciate I've come back from I've crossed realms dimensions god damn it to get here and you give me this little

39:30

bowl of some disgusting G soaked kind of halwa like what I mean if I came back from the dead I want to see the whole works okay I want there to be like a super partay going on I want to say yeah that's how you come back from the dead that's what I'm talking about

40:00

right so now it's all folklore and superstition and that said sometimes I think - I think - come combat it to combat it you have to use wisdom so don't kind of go against these things so harsh I think you've got to maybe educate people but then you gotta take time with people and some people are set in their ways I think just let them be so don't think like you got a oh I got a change everybody why are they doing this

40:38

I must condemn me I'm having a taqwa attack don't have one of those wat attacks all of a sudden like Oh like if your parents do this just chill with it don't worry I mean like you look just some things in life you gotta just roll with okay because people ain't going to they're not going to have that kind of an Enlightenment all of a sudden and understand things like superstition and evolution of institutionalized religions and folklore and how you know these kind of things don't come easy so don't worry

41:17

about it that's what I'll say don't worry bad so people click like click share get this out there what do you think about Loki I don't know I don't know about me I think that's a is that a rapper or somebody I don't I don't know I don't really listen to much kind of Nasheed's or things like that right so okay next question people why can't we enter Mecca if we do if we don have an a a test of being Muslim is a part of politics I've answered this last week I

41:55

did quote and I read from even harsher and it's tough sieve that we do believe that many people do believe you can enter Mecca okay so there's a difference of opinion today it's more a political kind of state decision taken by the Saudi state right so said on the scribe question okay this is it's an interesting question is to do with a person known as of the lightness I didna be Sarah or Abdul I've never Sarah it's often known as and he was like a kind of if you want to use the term maybe foster

42:31

brother of of Earthmen rodeo Mohan and he's one of the people who apostate it in Islam and and then he said some things about the Prophet as well and about Islam and he used part of the kind of propaganda thing against Islam but during the conquest of Makkah or the liberation of Makkah he embraces Islam and he comes and apologizes and the Prophet forgives him and then he goes on after the conquest of Makkah he actually

43:10

lives a very upright upstanding kind of life where he is in positions of responsibility during was man's time he's given positions of leadership and right till his very death he he's seen as a very kind of a noble character this thing about him when he apostates what first of all it's interesting that the he wasn't the Prophet didn't have him executed per se with all these people you know obsessed with apostasy laws but they were there is some discussion around him and the Quran him being a scribe before he apostate he so he used

43:49

to write down some verses of the Quran so there are some kind of narrations about him saying that the Quran was more fluid basically and he felt oh this is what he's transmitting that he even changed the Quran was immersed with the prophet and the Prophet kind of went with his interpretation interpretation by his wording these are some narrations which have been highly criticized as unauthentic

44:27

but these narrations are there and it goes into all this kind of discussion but generally these narrations are not authentic okay generally speaking that he didn't so they say that the verses each speaks about is about a lot about punishing and his this narration says that the Prophet read and Allah is Allah you know ends it by saying Allah who are for Rahim is forgiving and and he says that shouldn t be better as Aziz and Hakim is mighty and wise and then Allah and the Prophet say yeah yeah do it like that that just

45:06

sounds quite absurd to be honest with you so yeah so it's not authentic but the thing about him apostate enjoining the muttaqun people is true and yes he was on a list of those people who were actively at war against Islam so they were they would have mean we're in the conquest of Makkah perhaps killed if people got hold of them but he himself came to the Prophet with Othman and with man says look he he's sorry for what he's done and then after that he continues as a very kind of noble personality so that's the thing in

45:44

essence that's like a quick kind of overview right so what are we doing or jihad all right all right I don't know asylum people animal Sakhalin those of you just tuning in right click like people click share' get this out right I've got to speak about Valentine's yes allowing people Valentine's it is Valentine's so so that's what I got a so before I do that you can click like get this out there people need you too let's spread this

questions on the TV I did actually I was asked a question on Taj weed within Salah do you have to recite perfectly within prayer so this is if Nanaji one of the dawn's of the school of medina people one of the dawn's by the way I saw this pitch this meme done by if Zell and with Hills this baby cow going like that see this baby and and he said something like Mufti Abu layth before he

48:11

in his early years before he shook up the world and he had me in stitches I gotta say even my daughter is always doing that now she's like alright I would have got her to come on here but she's surprisingly knocked out early for vampires it doesn't usually happen but today it has happened right people please refrain yep there's the admin is on it right about time I'd mean I was thinking where on earth are you right

48:49

yeah Jenna if you can please stick to the topic otherwise we're gonna have to send your profile to Jinnah good Giada Julia you know a judge when somebody tried to interrupt his hot bath is do mahadba so he got his gods to to kind of like he goes this guy's a bit too eager just if you don't mind if he can send him on to Jenna he's a bit too eager to

49:24

meet God so why not why not help the guy out that's what had jaga what a guy what a guy he's one of those love-hate kind of characters in Islamic history so when you're reciting the prayer do you need to have full touch wheat right so this a difference of opinion in this they call this Lahan okay now we Callahan or land okay if you have a land right you make a

50:02

mistake and generally you will get some other mother say if there's a land it can completely invalidate the prayer I believe that is one of the main positions of the Schaffer a method some of the male kiya some of them did go with that and that included people like this is even energy in his commentary of the result of ignores eight he mentions that if a person does is alejandra stakes then appeal Asahi has a lot Asahi

50:40

Iraq soon and then he says bill over Ling kind of a radio father her because Fatiha is what they really stress over Surat al-fatiha and any mentions the people who say these are people like over carob Malabar deepness a balloon and some of these greatest scholars and love me says if somebody is a Lahani should definitely prevent him from leading the prey but then even analogy goes on to argue that look this doesn't make any sense he says well he says well old ass a little edible fatwa who are in the alive know him he says Lee

51:19

analogical ooh in my Acuna Lahan mim and sorrow belonging haematic element behavior for I namely he says look either the person reading messed up is changing the meaning of the Quran or is not well I luckily helpful a fork and then he goes on to say and he says look that so he goes on to say that what I jump to be I know yells immorally Shamu slapping la la la nación Milliron Oh Sarah I'm really a llama the curtam in your Kuna turrican labarda I was a caliber Allahu Alem so even energy one

51:57

of the guns of the school of Medina commenting on the book of if knob is a known as young Malik saying look if a person makes a mistake in the karana best what you could say is he missed out a portion but he still read something I would say in line with that look if you make mistakes whilst reciting just try to improve but your salat and stuff is fine okay as you heard even energy say right so if you've had impurity on your hands and you wash your hands in the

52:33

basin and you get splashes of if you have impure if you have a impurity if you have a impurity on your hand I won't ask how did you arrive at having a impurity on your hand Matt enmity well sure by all means you can wash your hands and no you don't need to freak out about the splashback

53:09

so people what are we looking at right so come on come on come on I still don't see this getting out there I want to see before I go into the because a lot of people have been asking about the Valentine so I want to share that want to make sure people don't miss it and so your Arabic is the most soothing a lot a lot of grandchildren Allah let me act oh very humble and you

53:44

know in a lot of in in some cultures when they stop acting humble they'll start kind of degrading themselves so they'll start saying things like oh like the most they'll say oh the poor the impoverished the weak the the feeble they'll say like the despised the most despised so in or do you see people right they don't just sometimes they're right happy which is like a despised thing they go some commonly people say e'en like a poor you know the poor person like meaning themselves sometimes

54:23

they say happy the despised one happy you know this is from the happier and sometimes they use their the kind of superlative form of saying like akka the most despised so like the most despised has said what you'll be like what that's like the most they're like the most diseased carrying the most viruses can

55:02

you imagine you just get carried away with the right so I Alaura see artists pravara score moose not sure what that is seems a bit similar to Spanish but it's not maybe it's Portuguese something what do you think about it again mmm I think she liked anybody I think he's a very strategic kind of Muslim he's a you know leadership personality I think like anybody they'll be good and bad

55:40

you know I some positions he takes which I absolutely rate and his attitude at least publicly towards how to receive refugees his position on being anti oppression and stuff like at the same time people could argue but he's oppressing some of his own people maybe how he's dealing with the Kurds his oppression and I think this is it's politics isn't it garage Anita Baba Rajan et or as the as

56:14

the saying goes as Amitabh Bachchan Saab damaged barakatuhu said he says that that kisi he has a dialogue where he says that physique Amarna cattle Hitler you killed a person that's murder murky psychos say he by Marla Raj he says but killing somebody at the right precise time that's politics so that's my point so I'm not really I do

56:54

like is kind of public persona but I recognize like anybody public persona doesn't have to always be nobody's gonna say hey by the way I'm an absolute pppp nobody's gonna say that so yeah why you say are mentioned in the Quran if it has no reality well Jamil Han you're in for a treat because I've got a whole video dedicated to that so go and watch it me amigo and let me know let me know Keith Hodge that is such a troll name

57:32

and a profile he thought yes asking all the kind of intricate Islamic questions like did the Asha Hadees did the martyr Salah do the horrid Keith Haj Hajj so the thing is look the question is about the Huaraz they were an extremist sect and I think Hawara just that sec don't exist but the mindset exists so the extremist mindset

58:03

is unfortunately still around yes your Bollywood films from where did you get your Bollywood films from mmm interesting back in the days back in the days we had to go all the way we had to go on these long walks my brother and I anyway I won't get into that so our groups like Isis Taliban AQL Phi the horrid yes there of a cottage mentality some more than others along

58:43

the way this like a spectrum if you like but I'm from a very Muslim neighborhood okay Hajj say so if you say so right so what else are people what [Music] controversies galore right so they come favorites colors from al-andalus this too many seriously all the way to grasmere whoa whoa who's that Suge

59:19

Mohammed gotta check that up see during my childhood up until the age of 10 I actually lived on that road so a big up hands with represent so shout out to Oldham no right so why are so many UK Muslims named Chaudhary it's just it's a title a kind of caste thing that's one of these so what are the questions people what are the questions Eliot's look at this a lot of people have tracked me right down to my

59:56

childhood this is like it's like freaky snd supermarket that's brought back some heart I'm gonna go through some trauma now people there's gonna be like I'm gonna be like you're gonna see the heart beating away they lagar seen a Miata direct aha that's the thing so yeah I remember as a kid having to be sent with this trolley that was almost as big as me I mean to take it we're gonna need some counseling after this right people so let's get on

1:00:35

to the let's get on to the topic of Valentine's yes you got it people it's all about a more Mia more right so people Valentine's Day is this hello is this Haram hmm what are we feeling today what are we feeling so now first of all shall we look at a quick overview of the history of Valentine's so a quick

1:01:15

history is people really regardless of what they say are not too sure where Valentine's originates from they're not too sure mean there is this narratives amongst the narratives is that this is named after a Christian Saint called st.

1:01:37

Valentine's but the truth is that there were many saints called Valentine and they don't really know which one they're talking about some people say that there was a particular bishop now see no there was a particular bishop who kind of who stood against the tyranny of the Roman Empire that had decreed that no people can't get married because it wanted its soldiers especially the soldiers they wanted them

1:02:14

to be single men yeah not just preoccupied with women which is as absurd as you can imagine so it probably just had like a bunch of like really desperate men in the army to just unleash them on a neighboring civilization right so now Bishop Valentine according to this one theory is the guy that would secretly get them married and then he was kind of persecuted by the Empire and there's a a

1:02:51

Pope by the name of I think Gelasius who comes in the fifth century AD that kind of says that we should commemorate him by having this day dedicated to love allegedly that's one of the theories another theory is there was a this is a pagan kind of festival called Lupercalia or something to do with having fertility and stuff like this and people would run around and have like crazy sex everywhere and stuff like these just so the god of fertility you would make the kind of harvest be fertile and stuff

1:03:30

like this I mean they saw there was this thing called Lupercalia and some people say that the Christian Church kind of turned into st. Valentine's Day nevertheless I think about five hundred years ago we starts to get its first understanding as being dedicated a day dedicated to love and really picks up in the West about 300 years ago people start like this whole Valentine process of you know they love somebody and it's all about having a special day to commemorate that and I think about within the last 200 years this whole

1:04:09

thing of sending cards to each other has taken off and from that stage to where we are now 2018 where it is probably one of the most kind of commercialized dates of the year one of the most commercialized dates of the year because every company that every kind of commercial outlet is Army and it's so that's what it is right Valentine's that's a bit of a history from an Islamic perspective what do we think can you be my Valentine

1:04:49

yes no this see this is the question is this Haram people washing the verdict be I should get like a voting where we can kind of like vote in him yes so to end to anybody who can't do anything for it just go with it's Haram I'm joking I'm joking right so is it Haram

1:05:23

let me ah so the answer people is that you see to make something Haram you need overwhelmingly overwhelmingly strong conclusive evidence and as I look all I see is just a Valentine's card I don't see this evidence where is this evidence done this time where is it so there is no overwhelming conclusive evidence that

1:06:02

this is Haram right so it is not how I'm per se and to say well it resembles a pagan festival or it has its roots in pagan festivals it's a bit dumb in 2018 guys you can't be talking about paganism paganism sounds dumb you sound I hate to break it to you but you sound kind of stupid or if you are gonna talk about it is DOS and by me when you do it can you ghost and stempky cross the road and stand on that side pagans heathens heathens all

1:06:41

right so you gotta stop this because it sounds dumb um look somebody's got to tell you I saw okay I'm just breaking it to you Tom don't shoot the messenger it sounds dumb to say well this is a Christian thing Oh crucial ooh look it's got nothing to do with Christianity as a religion whether st. Valentine did this or not what if it's nothing to do with the religion however however however I've got a caveat here so I'd like you to so I don't believe that it's Haram

1:07:19

from that religious perspective I don't believe that it's Haram that said I don't encourage this kind of culture huh is that just because I would have too many people to to have to cater for on Valentine's no it's not right so what Bill father--he Yui but Nam who gave us

1:07:57

him it's not that he was unloyal he just got a bad reputation as our old china violated kiss kiss Ava he had so many people who who could he be loyal to this is look no but I actually discourage this culture you know why because I don't think you should be kind of duped into this commercialism like that I think you should be more intelligent than that you shouldn't have to face the pressures of society on you you should

1:08:36

live your life as you want to live your life god damn it don't have people tell you you said today if you want to express something you express it to the person you dictate the terms you understand you dictate the terms don't have somebody don't have like society say it has to be February the 14th oh my god and everybody and you see by doing this I think they put so much pressure on people the society kind of create creates this massive kind of

1:09:15

pressure this social media pressure of I gotta have a Valentine's I gotta be on a date it's gotta be romantic it's gotta be and it's not even about the feel anymore it's all about the show so it's not even about kind of like what do I want to feel or what do I want to experience it's all about what do I show people and if you don't have a date or a Valentine's you become depressed people become depressed they and it's I can see

1:09:54

how that happens because if if you're surrounded in a world especially the younger people god I must see like now when I have to say younger people I'm like so ah Buddha yoga how we've aged in this on this journey of us but the thing is look when you know these people who are immersed this Instagram society like I'm on Instagram I'm on facebook I'm on but these things to me are not like how it is for some Millennials and some younger

1:10:33

people maybe late teens early 20s these kind of people this social media daily live that is they they breathe them I mean for me this stuff is good I like it it helps me reach out to people we connect but it's not you know it's not a like I don't take pictures of my food and put it on there and have to always compete with people and stuff like that to me it doesn't I you know we're not from I don't I'm a I don't know about other people I would assume we're not from that generation but I can see how people would get depressed they would be

1:11:13

like damn I've got nobody to show and then if they have they've got to show it perfect we've got to be in a top restaurant we've got to be on holiday we've gotta be on we've got to show the world show the world show the world show the world you know all this kind of stuff depresses people so I would say look I don't encourage this kind of because I think it's unhealthy and I don't think you need to go buy things just because people I think buy old me I'm like I buy whatever I'm a bit gullible like that but but I say buy it

1:11:51

because you want to buy it don't buy things because they dictated on to you you know people say you got to do this oh okay because of society you choose a day and do whatever the hell you want but don't have to feel pressured that's what that's my point because I think all those people that are loners on the day all of you that are alone well if you can contact send send a message to not not this is how

1:12:29

scandals are created right so so this is my point so I'm against all of that people I'm against all of that so it's not I'm not against it because it's Haram from a religious perspective I'm against it because it produces on I think it really messes with people psyche this kind of stuff I think the pressure is so unhealthy I think people are really sure you know like when I look on social media you know you're you're kind of like going through social medias walking the hell out of a room it was

1:13:08

bored sitting there ha what's this was I see the amount of pressure LP I think damn thank God I'm not a part of that so anyway so that's my point have the courage to be yourself that's what I'm saying people you stop you know when you're like you know when you're like oh what's this profile now you know when you're bored and you're like well let's just stalk the hell out of Facebook and Instagram and you see what people are up

1:13:46

to and you think bloody hell it's like I'm totally not a part of this world I must just be like a total and I could see how that would I think the the TV series black mirror is onto something seriously it's on to something it gives a lot of these scenarios right so let's let's take some other questions people what are we looking at what are we looking at well I was asked a question about hey job why is it not until you

1:14:22

accidentally click like yeah perhaps oh yeah you know you know like when you fall asleep and the app still open on is in your hand and you wake up and you think god dammit what have I been pressing let me just check who tell me I've shared some in the kind of heart attack but you have as you wake up now falling asleep with the hack the phone in your hand and you're like this and you wake up oh something you think

1:15:02

oh here goes another kind of hole this is gonna be one holes news new level of scandal well no money kidding not so right so Brett I was asked a question about hijab that why is it that men stop talking rubbish that's my stop stop talking rubbish comma comma okay I'm more intrigued with the two commas followed by the two stopped full stops

1:15:41

that's like really interests op talking rubbish you you stop it you rubbish these are not nice this iron you know to come is to come here to tragic you know just one comma please so let's write so I was asked about the hijab why do men not have to have a hijab why do men not have to have a each other as an interesting

1:16:18

question people your thoughts I don't think seriously this is this is my way of looking at things by the way I've been told that my understanding of masculinity is now what people call toxic masculinity see my circle of friends and my maybe I don't know if it's the whole generation but maybe but see we understand like men should be men you know the newer people kind of feel men should be like they should be they

1:16:56

should be men but like I'm in touch with my softer side I go to sleep with the teddy bear kind of thing so this wait so I don't know but anyway coming back to this point I think that I think that men and women don't view each other in the same way and this is probably people are gonna be like haha but I don't genuinely don't think they do to be fair I think men are

1:17:31

just men I like you see it's not that women don't appreciate let's say beauty or good looks in a man or I'm sure they do I'm sure women do as well think oh he's nice he's nice he's nice I'm sure they do think that every I'm sure it's only its creature like okay it's maybe not creature to think but to react I think so it's human to definitely be like that so I I'm not but you see man I don't see men don't think like oh he's not oh

1:18:10

sorry so right that would be definitely really weird Freudian slip okay no he's nice but they don't think like oh she's nice she's nice she's nice that's like at a like I don't know like at a tea party men are like on famine mode that's not what they're thinking trust me they're not thinking nice that's that's that word doesn't even enter that vocabulary range he doesn't even so men's minds are just

1:18:47

sick it's a curse people I'm telling you it's like damn so this is what so this is what it's like now so I think that's why the hijab thing and this isn't I mean so I'm just being real I'm just being real I'm not trying to do over my the whole male species don't worry guys obviously in this with you so but I'm just being real I don't think man

1:19:23

women are like mentally kind of on some kind of famine mode I don't think they generally are but I think men generally are like that I don't know about the newer generation I think they must still be but I think generally across the world men are so so that's why this hijab and even with hijab it still doesn't matter they like they'll they'll have like x-ray vision and the imagine it's like the blind spot the imagination just fills it in how the

1:20:01

Lord has gifted us with imagination I tell you it's a strange gift yeah so this is why the hijab and I think it's not the same okay so I'm not men are great now yeah I'm not I'm not saying this to dis man or to say dissing women or anything I think obviously men women everybody is awesome in their own way but obviously think about it if women were like that you know I had a conversation once like as a thought experiment I said to some mates that like we're having a

1:20:40

discussion and that imagine women were like that I think men would just freak out which sounds crazy because you think that's what people you think that would be a fantasy but I think people just freaked out you start getting men saying things like you know I'm not just a piece of meat you know I think seriously I think men you know if the world was like that did I hope oh she doesn't even appreciate me for my mind ah [Laughter] it's interesting so I think that's

1:21:20

why he job was more for women as opposed to for men because I think we and then it's interesting that it's kind of generally being a very patriotic society all those people they know I'm telling the truth come on you know the difference I'm just saying what the group is thinking that's I'm just coming out with you that's all right so I'm just saying what you all are thinking that's all I read this

1:21:58

there's this poem that monk in here would say yeah Thursday munafa cut that this style of hypocrisy is something that I'm incapable of dunya dunya there a massage cabin then he that the world o world we're not your kind of I'm not your kind of guy that I can't do this hypocrisy that you gotta just keep it real that's all

1:22:35

so this is why I think the hijab thing and I think people would agree with me in essence cool let's take on that note there was another question there was a question about women being Imams women being Imams and leading men in prayer and I thought you know what rather read to you guys from the dawn even a ruched right even ruched ever always people from Muslim Spain the philosopher there's two ignorance

1:23:12

to this I don't think this is a swear anymore now I don't think in the UK used to be a swear I think nowadays you don't really get anybody going like that anymore I think that's like 78 nowadays I think it's just peace peace peace and I don't think the new generation use that so I think it's okay to go like that I think soy and if not

1:23:42

right okay behave people behave behave right so if nourished there's two interests to ignorance tube nourished the grandfather run the grandson now you're probably thinking well they must have been a father in between order of course there was otherwise this you got some sick imagination so of course there was a father involved but the grandfather and the grandson unknown as a zip nourished the famous ignorance so he writes in his book with that emerged at the beginning the Genesis the beginning of the

1:24:20

mujtahid people and he was a legend from Muslim Spain you're talking around over 800 years ago so he says look if telephone in mama telomere ah okay and they disagreed about a woman being an imam and he goes on to say that look other animal area Jews and some more region that she cannot lead men in pray rock telephone fee Amata her and miss her and they disagreed can she lead women and he mentions that chef ie

1:24:58

allows that and an imam malik popularly doesn't but in other opinions he does so there's a difference of opinion from mali and then he says well shut that and there was a rare kind of understanding from abu soul and at popery for a Jazza imamat aha adele it worked so they said women can lead men in print so that's a boo soul and a puppy and I believe mosinee the sheriff is collar was on in line with that as well he says those people who said they couldn't use a hadith after una hey stockin Allah

1:25:37

that's raw that is not an authentic hadith people okay behave hey hey but he's to be fair to him he's saying they use this he's not saying I use this saying they use this that keep them at the back where a lock at them that's a straw that's a misrepresentation of Islam right because that is not an authentic hadith that is a weak hadith life life people life so he says and then he says he says ma I

1:26:17

know Avon it's being transmitted from some of the first generation through a hadith that they went with what was transmitted in Abu Dawood from the hadith of umma berapa the an era sólo la coneja suru javi beta what Allah has been a new a similar her and that the Prophet used to visit this woman called Anwar Appa this is in Abu Dawood and in her him and he he placed for her husband were America and Toma Allah Daria and she would lead this man and her family

1:26:57

folk including the men in prayer so it's interesting and when it comes to reasoning what's interesting is when it comes to reasoning he says you see well in the metaphysical jamun Alemannia the majority of the people said went with that she could not lead men Leander who lo Canada isn't if it was permissible no colossal iike a nice

1:27:37

oval oval you see it's interesting because he's saying that for the evidence what they used was the fact that if this was permissible surely the first people would have transmitted on mass so they using the lack of something to demonstrate it's impermissible 'ti now my understanding would be that women do not lead men in prayer generally speaking although if they did lead a man in prayer would the Salah be valid I

1:28:15

believe that the Salah would be valid based on the esta laughs based on the difference of opinion and the fact that there is a hadith although it's got some criticism that the Prophet appointed a woman to lead her household men in prayer and the fact that there is nothing in the Quran and Sunnah that clearly teaches it would be invalid that's I'm speaking about the validity that said I don't believe women generally should lead men in prayer reason being because I've said this many

1:28:50

a times because that we know none of those men are gonna be concentrating on their prayer and then I suppose women will say well that's tough like you guys should you know we're not responsible for your actions it's true not responsible but at least I think let the Salah be a place of worship rather than the imagination going wild so I get the argument that women say generally look

1:29:29

you shouldn't kind of like you know that's us men say minds and men should control the their imagination but I think the problem the truth is the imagination can't be tamed then what kind of a dumb imagination would it be if he could just be tamed but I'm just being honest and just saying look this is why that I think I don't agree with women leading many prey not because they are incapable not because they are lesser than men not because they're impure or something like that but simply because just based on

1:30:08

etiquette and modesty for prayer that's all that's all and if that comes across sexist so be it you know well what do you want me to do I mean if it comes across sexist I would say don't just chill why do you want to be any mom anyway for God's sake its who wants to be any mom let's face it so right so people click like click I'm not seeing that enough I'm not feeling

1:30:47

people sharing the controversy this week don't play safe people know play safe live with no regrets that's what I say feminists are gonna go mad speaking of which I watched that there was a tea there was a sham al Maliki I know Messiah and those of you tuning in click like click Leila has asked about donating organs as Muslims I'll come back to that I actually took out four that the text I thought I'll quote it from here but I'll come back to that like and share sharing like whatever the hell you want people I give you freedom

1:31:25

this is how it should be I am a Lama okay right I really need to go work out out of boot camp but I'm enjoying this too much well if you're enjoying it then carry on enjoying it god dammit so this is so I watched this TV series that are not series this episode it was sent to me by a few people called women Islam and I or I think women Islam and me something like that it had that that girl from

1:32:05

Muslims like us Mehreen starring in it so she's going around and she's going to speak about marriage and what it means to be a Muslim woman now I'm gonna be honest before I a few people sent it to me said are mostly what do you think about this what do you think about this I did think to myself first ah I don't know if I want to watch this because sometimes I don't like watching you know you know you get the fascist feminists and they just kind of bash men just hate men and just man hating kind of thing and I thought hmm and I didn't know what

1:32:44

this was at the time I don't watch it so I thought is it okay to say god damn it god damn yeah it is marine big that's her name Madden big who starred in that show from last year the year before the year before called Muslims like us so but to be fair once I watched it I was actually very glad I watched it so it's it is because why was I glad because first of all it wasn't really to be fair wasn't that kind of feminism that kind

1:33:22

of fascist family Nazis it wasn't like that it wasn't kind of man hating and stuff like this although some things in there do and I think it's interesting because you know when you watch something it like as a human being like I'm speaking about myself people I can find myself how is it permissible to say God's name in vain I'm sorry wrong religion mate we're Muslims today that's Christianity

1:33:58

do not say the Lord's name in vain on Sunday we're Christians that was yesterday today's Monday we're Muslims today that's a Christian thing no such thing in Islam do not say the Lord's name in vain we mean no say the Lord's name I can say the Lord's name all I want that's it was the Krish it was the Jewish thing in essence they wouldn't they weren't allowed to even say Yahweh they weren't even allowed to say his name and then it became okay you can say his name for important things but not in vain so you've obviously got

1:34:38

very influenced by TV you carried it across and said it so sincerely and with so much conviction that hearing it I thought Allah little dressy Allah Oh No yeah yeah yeah yeah ah so anyway coming back to this show that be nope don't say it might be in vain

1:35:14

don't save me book so so the thing is but on the bright side on the bright side at least all those terrorists you'll give them something to think about so they won't say the Lord's name let's go Akbar people can always that bloody Akbar again he's doing all of this right so yeah it's amazing isn't it so yes they're coming to this so I watch this what I was going to say it's interesting

1:35:51

because I can find myself you see I can find myself being judgmental sometimes think look at that look so sometimes you can watch here some things people are saying you can end up maybe being a bit judgmental and and then I have to kind of like slap myself in the face look in the mirror and think what hell how on earth are you being judgmental and so I think it's a good wake-up call to kind of realize that whoa you know so I so I really appreciated watching it it was interesting is to do with marriages and culture and kin mostly I think the

1:36:31

whole Pakistani or Asian culture and and she was mixing with some black muslim black muslim girls and they've got the culture which is very independent and islam for them was very positive and for her it had a lot of culture and then she's going on some dates to get married and yeah so tony was interesting overall anyway and they speak about the verse is the feminist you know those kind of verses that people pick up on in the koran that y can about the hitting and first of all it is not permissible to hit and i've answered that in depth in previous question so you can watch that

1:37:09

there I do think yes somebody homogeneous saying she was confused I do think most yes you I do think she was confused on many things but I suppose maybe met most people are confused myself everybody can just include themselves in that but can Muslims date Vanessa Ali's trying to get me to answer that and then kind of like fall face-first headfirst into a scandal of but I've answered before that yes people can actually if you want to call it date or if they want to get married they can

1:37:47

go out in public places I do believe that's permissible and I've answered that before so but yes so this whole thing of the hitting versus or men can marry multiple women and stuff like this and these themes kind of came up in the discussion but yeah it was is interesting to see the kind of struggle people are going through I guess and how do you it's difficult don't know if it's it's difficult I think but the question can a Muslim woman live on her own from an Islamic perspective so if a Muslim woman wanted to live on our own does Islam say she can't know

1:38:25

Islam hasn't no issue he doesn't say either way Islam isn't about if a woman was to live on her own from an Islamic perspective that's not Haram or anything that's just her choice obviously culture would dictate a lot of things and somebody asked me how would you differentiate between culture and Islam it becomes difficult because a lot of people are you know that they sold into the culture age become blurry so I think that was something about the show the other thing was there was an imam saying

1:39:03

things like so she's sitting at this event in London I think and there's some amount I don't know why ethnicity was I think he may have been a Somali sure but he was saying about all women shouldn't turn down their husbands for sex and stuff like this and you know this kind of stuff first of all I think it's a you know when people pick up on this kind of stuff I think it's they they they're not being kind of fair in I mean I don't know that Imams views in general life and I've never heard of that Imam but

1:39:42

I'm just going with what I heard on the clip I think they have to be fair in terms of the language the level of English that person has because sometimes when you when you're not proficient in a language you don't have kind of like very fluent usage offi you can come off sounding a bit kind of you can come off sounding a bit obviously wrong in certain things so that's the first thing the second thing is that this topic in the hadith right

1:40:20

this is just religious rhetoric where the Prophet is in you you have to remember in the time of the Prophet people spoke in religious rhetoric all the time just because we don't do it today it sounds but it doesn't mean it was weird in the time of the Prophet 1,400 years ago that was the way people spoke like old may even when they cursed they cursed with religious rhetoric you know and damnation and the curses of God and things like this so it's important to understand that okay now when the

1:40:58

Prophet was saying this he was speaking about people who weaponize weaponized but they instrumental they use the they withhold sex as a kind of tool to to kind of frustrate the other partner to get back at them and this is the context in which the Prophet said this now I think you have to be feared that this this so to kind of take something and to kind of misrepresent here and obviously you're gonna emphasize on the religious rhetoric of it now oh but that would be

1:41:36

the same even if it was the husband that he would be cursed and this was not about always like oh you gotta always be having sex it wasn't about that it was about the fact that if you are misusing certain things just to be kind of abusive to kind of hurt the other person and you have to remember right right you have to remember that that right okay you have to remember something that this

1:42:12

that ace a marriage a Nika is a kind of it is a sexual relationship not kind of it is a an intimate relationship a close relationship built upon an understanding of intimacy of bonding of sexuality that you can't it's it's absurd like you read some of these comments like people say I mean I think I quoted them before I read this comments of this person this but I mean saying that this comment I've read before once somebody

1:42:50

that you you look at your wife as like you it's disgusting how you look at her as a sexual object and I think that I find that comment very absurd I find it very kind of it's it's it's a paradigm shift that this age is going into that what is wrong with that as well that having seeing somebody sexually obviously you're in a relationship with them which is a sexual relationship why should you not see them sexually it doesn't mean you only ever see them sexually but you see that as well what is wrong with that and I think these

1:43:29

kind of things that we're living in a day and age we I think these things are becoming it vilified and people are kind of demonizing this this thing that men they can't say anything they can't express any and I don't be honest I think this is my understanding with a lot of people that I see people reach out to me things I read on social media I think it's led to a culture where men are actually very intimidated of being in relationships with with women as improper long-term relationships I think they're just like

1:44:08

because it's too volatile like you don't know what I think I think a lot of them what I've read and from what I see and when people reach out to me with certain things this is the kind of feel that I get that people are too scared almost like a lot of men think like what the hell like I'm serious I there was an incident that I heard I mean this was actually an actual incident somebody reached out to me that a person married somebody and and this is like this they're in a marriage fresh in a marriage liking each other

1:44:46

everything sensible very educated both people and they've they've obviously been intimate they've had sex and in the morning now this is actually was related to me as an incident in the morning they had sex again and later in the day the wife said to the husband that oh you know in the morning when you had sex you didn't actually take my consent and as a joke she said this like to this person this is how it was this is how I heard this and and she said like ha like if I want I could get you done for that and you think like

1:45:25

what like wow like do you see the kind of culture that is being created and I think there's a clear distinction in recognizing and condemning abuse which is always wrong and between creating a very fragile world where people will just be too scared to kind of be in relationships with people cuz they'll just be like this ha ha this stuff ain't worthy obviously I was just hearing that comment from somebody telling me this is what happened to them I mean that

1:46:05

relationship would be instantly over haha I mean that would but I'm surprised this is the kind of world we live in but yeah so right people I'll tell you what let's take some rapid round exactly if a woman said that it's definitely the wrong woman you married I think 100% but this this culture that we're creating I I find it sometimes like whoa what's going on it's a and I think this is we're creating a world where you know I've read I read this

1:46:43

week that that most the majority in Japan the majority of people up until the age of 30 like I was reading that a huge number of people nothing which are I think he said a huge number of people up until their 30s percentage hadn't had any sexual contact which is like oh what the hell is going on there but I think the whole world is just like I think is this that the gel are we there right I'll tell you what people let's take you see but on an honest now somebody's saying Carla's men women

1:47:19

are not meat or a toy yeah but call us I don't think people are saying that they are a toy or they are meat but if during sex they see that them like that I mean that's how the psyche is wired during sex I don't think there's any harm in that you know it's this I think look that's for when regular behavior isn't this kind of thing of like well regularly how do they interact with them as a human being as a sophisticated this but as a

1:47:57

mom Alex teacher said what happens behind closed doors happens behind closed doors I think people need to kind of just let that be and stop trying to remove that from it like trying to make everything very kind of I don't know like what the word is for it like everything has to be devoid of that carnal kind of instinct that has to be just oh I did this in a very sophisticated manner which reminds me that there was a Calif a Muslim Calif Abdul Malik at number one man very

1:48:36

famous Kayle in fact one of the people that Imam Malik transmits from now prior to him becoming a Calif and and he he was asked but man off the apology map that what is the best kind of well this is past the watershed anyway so he was asked for what's the best kind of sexual intercourse and he replied I warn you guys first brace brace okay he replied as hasshu hood that the most like I don't even translate that now either

1:49:14

said like the most kind of vile and makes you think whoa what level was he on so anyway people let's take some rapid round questions before we call this to an end so all right so let's take some well I was asked the question on Salafi as we as we're embracing an an age where they will be created embryos so artificial

1:49:53

embryos so if we're creating babies in these embryos she's your wife not your sister because that would be really awkward cousin same-same cousin wife sister cousin wife same same [Laughter] that would be awkward so right now we're embarking upon an age of technology where there will be artificial embryos so I was asked the question that would this mean that the child still gets a

1:50:32

ROI and the answer is of course the child would get a roll the raw is live people that is life okay alright so that is the so the Ruhr no way in Islam does it actually okay you can infer from certain things that the raw is like something belonging to but the Quran never teaches you what the raw actually is but what it means is that something in my understanding is alive with consciousness but then that could be argued because people could say well

1:51:11

what if you lose consciousness and so on and so forth but so I get the different parts of that debate but it's not it doesn't have to be like a spirit looking like you that's just TV right so all right right right so let's somebody's still going on about the band's going on about the cousin sisters soul the raw soul same thing yep same same same same Ruis all same-same cousin wife seems in

1:51:47

a row and the soul are the same kind of thing okay so it's the same thing people right so when marry a non-muslim woman is it permissible to avoid her from things she did for a long time or what will I'm not sure what that question means actually I got my wife off eBay [Laughter] okay I'm just not gonna comment on that so these things these artificial embryos it's permissible people some rapid round questions click like click share' get this out there let's get some rappers

1:52:25

round fire away with the questions why do Maliki's have two auras Oh raise the pot that must be covered of your body now the Maliki's have a core odor for males over females which is what must be covered by necessity and and then they have what is the extended outer which should be covered but if it's compromised it doesn't you know it's not the kind of end of the world it shouldn't be compromised but if it is it's not so that may vary so for men now they includes the thighs and all this kind of stuff for women as well the

1:53:03

extended old route does include staff it depends once again it depends where you then take this because they have this conversation the Maliki's in certain topics like in Salah but then they may act differently in other context but in Salah they will say things like her and generally her around the home her extended aura things like generally her limbs arms legs neck this kind of stuff all that here all that kind of stuff they consider part of the extended outer why do scholars deem mortgages to be Haram mortgages are not Haram but I've got a full answer to that you can check

1:53:43

in on YouTube is lingerie allowed well that would I'm not sure how good you look in lingerie but [Laughter] but hey if it works for you then sure but just don't turn up with us with it on because that even I cut you know deemed as modern as I am I'm sorry if you turn up to my hadith that's a dress dress to impress it's gonna be

1:54:16

problematic my friend right so yes octopus is halal that's true all creatures in the sea or halal including amphibians people that's the school of Medina including animals which live on the land and the sea so crocodiles tortoises Turtles sorry Turtles choices choices don't actually I think tortoises might live around the sea as well crabs lobster you name it dinosaurs do you believe in the molle

1:54:56

didn't abhi as in do I believe the Prophet well I had a birth and he was born of course he was born right what is makrooh makrooh mean something discouraged hippo yep hippo included if you wanted hippo although people don't generally eat hippo sharks as well yep that's permissible gelatine I wants it before gelatine there's a difference of opinion and according to the opinion I go with that enough transformation has occurred that it is permissible to eat things with gelatine mermaids if you want to eat it's interesting that people of the past actually spoke of a

1:55:35

spongebob spoke of mermaids right let's take some rapid round questions people correct position I've answered this before hamster on second coming of Jesus and all that you can check mine right so prawns yep prawns are permissible absolutely people where are your questions where are your questions view our magical Sciences books what does that mean I'm not sure what that means is dog me I've answered this before dog meat all predatory animals that includes wolves

1:56:12

lions tigers dogs hyenas jackals any of these things are macaron not and not haram according to the school of Medina so should we really give the majority of wealth to our wife what what snack saying nak was chilling it was great to meet up with nak it was awesome I had a good good good kind of vampire session right that's how it's got to be done he's female cousin madam or non madam should want observe etiquette yeah I mean she's not a madam like that cool dari Islam in the subconscious mind

1:56:51

dreams what's the reality to this dreams don't have a reality where dreams don't have a reality somebody asked can you see the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam in a dream of course you can see him in a dream and some people asked can you see him in reality I've got no idea what that means what do you mean outside a dream if you mean a vision as a hallucination that's only you you know I don't believe you that the Prophet you know like you get these kind of folklore mythological beliefs that the Prophet is everywhere and he's floating around and he's here

1:57:31

and this kind of like demigod kind of vision I don't believe in that I don't think that is is Lama Klee an authentic position although people have tried to make it off as an authentic position the fact that the Prophet appears to people like he appears like him in like I don't know like ghost like spirit like reality and talks to them that's just their imagination it's just their imagination these things are not real you cannot you know it's it's only it's all in the mind that's all it is okay I think some of the Sufis have taken this too just

1:58:10

unnecessary levels really unnecessary levels and these kind of things are and in in a dream of course you can see you can anything you watch the dreams of the I mean is it's your dream state at the end at the end of the day what is your do you think the dead can visit us I'd rather not to be honest with you knock on the door you got the dead oh it's

1:58:43

just the dead at the door oh oh yeah I'd rather not be visited by the dead to be but no of course they can't visit us I mean what with the dead visitors this is hardly Game of Thrones we got the walkers or whatever they call them right so these things look these kind of things are mythology folklore people that's one of these right so if they do they don't just want a small bowl of hallow ah hell no Frankenstein right people let's take a few final rapid rounds and we call this I was

1:59:23

asked about this is the photo of collected of chef Juliet okay who is the chef Elise lon his full name mohammed al Aziz Al joy joy yet he was he was junior and a student to even hold the ship the shareholds lamb of his time and the grand mufti of the molly kia legend who I often quote this is his kind of one of the the kind of runners-up that comes after him he's also ruled the Grand Mufti in his time the shear hole is LOM of the male Kia and generally so in his Fatah WA he

2:00:00

lived right up until I believe the going through the 60s into there maybe the 70s at most but he has a fatwa these his Fatah have been collected on can you take the eyes and kind of transplant them into somebody else and saw body parts and he mentions that there is he said that if you look at it that there's two perspectives he says that you can say that you you keep the body part stay where they are more our turn little Matty he out of sanctity of that person right those of you who have just tuned in even though it's late

2:00:40

late you can still click like and share people get this out thee so he says there's that argument of the sanctity of the human and the kind of love and the fact that they say his property or the humans property you contrast that with he said the muscle hat of helping other people so when you compare that he said that you go with the fact of helping the living that clearly outweighs and share joy it is one of the leading scholars throughout the Muslim world who have given this fatwa FIBA had a knock little

2:01:19

Alba and then there were people after him like share Hassan Matt moon who did the same thing who gave the fatwa also very early on 1959 and but that was aftershave jar yet and they were share Jarrell ha collegiate Ali Jarrell hawk the great chef of let's have who gave the same fatwa and a few other people but he was one of the most high he was one of the pioneers in this whole kind of division if you like right people I think we've kind of let's take a few final questions and we'll wrap this up it's helping

2:01:57

somebody I think it's actually and it's one of the greatest acts of charity to be honest with you I think it's quite scary it's scary for the person donating because I kind of put myself in in that in that kind of position and you think it's weird because you know you're gonna be dead but you're still kind of you don't you it freaks you out somebody doing something like pulling your eyes out taking your kidneys out and I think it's scary so that's what it is and so hence people kind of bring up all these

2:02:34

Fatah WA have you ever experienced the supernatural I don't think I have I think we've all experienced the kind of Luminos things which bring us in all but there's always an explanation for everything right moujik yo nicola right okay any final or shall we call it is that a wrap you're scary hmm oh yeah that's the way to be right people I think we'll call this a wrap if you're on social media
