My Thoughts On The Situation In Iran | Mufti Abu Layth

you know it's so sad what is going on in Iran right now really I mean it is horrific you know this was never Islam to go around you see what people are doing is they are making I'm not saying that's their intention but the consequence is that they are making people hate Allah on his messenger and that is such honestly that is such a burden to to carry

that if you are responsible for people distancing themselves from God and His messenger because of your words your actions your pathetic inability to to handle um situations that's on you that's on you man so that's you know this this kind of Iran its regime this whole thing with the uh hijab this is not Islam to go around beating

people like this and and and they that with the whole um what's her name I'm not sure how they how she pronounced it but this whole case you know Allah bless her soul she's passed away and they uh this what seems to be a cover-up of police brutality they really need to stop these whole you know this religious police because the truth is power corrupts see you can't trust people it's

like you know when somebody came to Imam Malik and they asked him about this kind of impositional attitude and they they asked him a particular thing and he said well you know he said no that does a person need to obey certain Authority and this too parental Authority and and it was on this was on matters of the Lark and things but the but the example that Imam Malik is giving where he says no and the person says but Omar

told his son and he had to obey you know this is where they try to correct the teacher you know the humby hair you know it's like you know don't forget that I too I'm here so if I'm Malik said he said sure if you can bring me a father like Omar then I will say but these parents today and this isn't a dis on parents but he was trying to say people have agendas

at play they have politics at play let's not be naive let's not pretend and you know you give a bunch of people Authority to go around you know wielding the whip in the name of God and you think they won't be corrupted by that you know you're naive if you think they won't be corrupted by that so so now there's this incredible protest and it's just and it's amazing that it's not getting as much coverage from the rest of the world

um and women are just fed up in Iran and they really this whole thing I wonder you know ya salaam there seems to just be an unrest in the world I hope that you know things can just reach a state of calm I mean but yeah I don't know what's going to unfold the I just you know this is not the way of Allah and his messenger you know it's not the way you know even if they follow the where

did the prophet ever go around saying to smack people and do things like this we're where did he say this and you're forgetting in Islam the whole thing took such a long period I mean the longest period of the prophet's prophethood was in Makkah where there was nothing but just saying look just build a relationship between you and God there was nothing else there was no people did pray but they weren't mandated Some People Prayed others didn't and then before a few years before the Hijra you know the Salah was

then introduced but for the better part for that decade first no and people weren't and just look at the verses of the Quran you know to cleanse your clothes your garments you know standard price be just be you know just just develop a cultivating relationship and then in Medina it was it was incrementally introduced and it wasn't just like you know when the Hadith says that if

the Hadith Islam the rulings come down suddenly most many of the people or most of the people would have rejected them it took decades you know you just because now Islam is here doesn't mean in the fitra of insan has changed so sure you know we look this is look this is how we do it be an example an example of compassion

an example of kindness smile doesn't matter if people it's not their time here go easy on them go hard on yourself if you want to go hard you know if you wanna bully someone bully your own ego don't you know get somebody else you wear the hijab what the hell is this about her relationship with God what does called the Yahtzee great legendary Maliki dawn of Muslim Spain 900 years ago half head of Hadith one of the greatest Scholars of Hadith this ummah

produced and he wrote one of the the dearest biographies on the prophet ashifa he called it the Cure which is called the Yahtzee he says the obligation is not on the women he says the obligation is on the men to lower their gaze I'm sorry he says whether the women cover or not that's their you know that's between them and God so you know if these people are going to lash their own eyes if it's that difficult for them but don't look don't create a hatred

between people and God and His messenger that that's that's that's a grave thing so yeah you know if you want to do something do it with love just do it people you know their time will come you know people they're you know it's not that maybe it's not their time now it's okay I'm sure there was a time for all of us when something was in our time with you know with a certain age with a certain thing we think oh right okay you know it's now our time maybe some things it's still not our time but it's okay
