swagatam people swagatam so what have we got in store let me just okay cool now what a week once again once again people once again it's been quite a week quite a week a hell of a lot going on now bogged down with this so more
importantly what are you guys what is on your minds and what is bothering you look at that people have had to but some interesting things going on had some the refutations continues for some refutations got some obsession by mockery we've got which i'll be looking at a bit later on he's got a two-hour video on Hasan alright ok
shukran shukran this is the t is a must is a must so right so what is going let's take some of these questions people let's take and let the fit on and facade begin some people are they become obsessed I tell you oh that reminds me evacuate they'll come to that in a moment why does everyone hate dawn man
dawn why does everyone hate gone man it's probably because they have to wake up all right people da wah man oh I saw that clip by the way it's like what what was it it was shut up shut up when I tell you that hadith you shut up yes this way this is why you
man's are finish you man's are finish finish you mine damn you man dem of colossal ass you see
if people are misbehaving let's say you know many years back when I trained as a qualified teacher in schools and colleges now schools especially secondary schools or I don't know if you guys call them high schools or management of people and of the students is such a key skill okay how to manage because all these good-for-nothing that good-for-nothing kids want to do is just wind the teacher up
that's all they want to do that is their day has been made if they can get you to lose your cool so that is so so something you have to train as or we had to train as was classroom management so there's many ways if people are let's say people are misbehaving or people are not paying attention there's ways to kind of regain people's attention and for example one of the things is you
just stop you just stop you just make eye contact with one or two of the culprits and that's it you just look and then thank you now that I have your attention see there's a way there's a skill to these things it's not obviously if you just go that they will eat you up these monsters of people that is not how to do it shut up shut up sure
moosh this is not how to to do it you shut up when I'm talking to you god damn it you shot because I say that Allah has said so you shanna uh I was that was humorous to watch it was humorous yeah I mean you can't you see you can't lose your cool with people especially like that especially people are just talking and they're not even
winding you up per se so then you've got a very short fuse right I don't know that's a really good question how does he have how do these people have followers I don't know because how does he seriously beats me I think you know sometimes I I see like people's sometimes I see my followers increasing subtly you know by the tens maybe offer a week a hundred one hundred fifty you know this kind of
increase and I think al hamdulillah the message is expanding and then I see people like this with hundreds of thousands of followers and I think yes I must be lacking in the charm element I don't I don't know what it is I need to start doing all this chatter just fly across the classroom like fun and games
fun and games well that's enough of him so what is going down people what is going on a hell of a lot you need to wave your hands about more it's alright my hands are absolutely fine the way they are that just about wines everybody else you know the amount of people I've had messaged me say brother I'd like to ask you a serious question
what do you what do you symbolise when you do this and the way they ask is so formal and so serious it's like I feel I'm at a disciplinary or something hmm well it's actually to wind people like you up
rock on right so this is um this is what's going down people so I came across this post the other day saying oh why do these Imams want to act all cool huh what is it man what a cool cool I don't want to Imam that a cool I'm already cool I needed a man to take me about religion who the hell says things like that like I'm already cool
that person is anything but cool ah god damn the world huh and then I get a post about me saying oh I got surprised about these people I got a surprise ornamental on moment okay [Laughter] I got this post saying that this Musti
is like a small Dajjal so who's gonna have the letters KF r but I thought I couldn't get the arse up or C instead KFC if I tilt it this way it looked like a bra in the Arabic language so one could argue that sera and that's the calf the K F sub the John but I was a bit offended the person said he's a small the John yeah this this small
small the gel don't suit me I want to be like a big the journal like they say they fear oh this is so this is dedicated to some of these people who make a mockery you know they make the
mockery of the deem so yes people I am a good guy I have been sent as a test well that didn't last long did it that didn't last long right well so so somebody had made this post about me saying oh that he's a small Dajjal and I was offended I thought come on man I want I want to be like a big the journal at this small small stuff 8th st.
my style you know what I'm saying anyway so let's take some questions fine let's take some questions God and I'm gonna be responding by the way to tamale McCree I'm gonna be responding to him a little later on today so I mean I don't make the Makri the mockery of this Deen you know the Makri I'll be
responding to that later on so people so what are some what are some questions let's take some questions people there were a few questions that were sent in today and what's going on my eyes scanning being detected I feel like that the gellick system is catching up with me all right we're in people were in
we're in as I'm talking about let's take a look at some of these questions these questions Oh somebody's just sharing the Bowerman clip again right I've got some question quite a few questions here what's your learner take on the moon splitting miracle I've answered this before check my youtube people check my youtube how does the Hanafi math have compared to the Maliki method I think
both are incredible although I think the hanafi madhhab has been massively hijacked in the last definitely for the last several centuries imam abu hanifa himself was a legend but not the so much the hanafi madhhab today it's a bit of a it's it's weird it's like a real control freak method today so I would advise for the school of Medina Allah the Maliki mother people look at that em the Maliki method but so that's what I'd advice for
all you doing it you're doing it right I'm a shout out Wow look at these shoutouts going on huh hmm I've asked several times before look at this this is like when you're telling somebody off km says I've asked several times before god damn it please comment on the nafse amara basu the nufs which is commanding the evil what is it and how are we slaves to it a lot of slaves
look at the illustris depiction nufs is i suppose you your desires isn't it yourselves the Caprice that all these kind of thing it doesn't have to be another entity like like this my daughters left this year like this ain't your nuts inside you like hey you got no
okay it's not quite like that the nerves is you it is within you it is a part of you it is your kind of like your strong inner limbic system that kind of the things that make you do some nasty and horrible things something we all are unfortunately way too accustomed to it's what Freud when would have meant when he said that people are more moral
than they think yet far more immoral than they can imagine allama Freud one of my heroes so this so that's the Amara Basu meaning it's the self that commands you I don't think these are different selves some people have taken that kind of an understanding that these are different selves I don't think that's not my kind of understanding anyway somebody's asked
why is the depiction of who poor people whole you know those women in Paradise the the who with white wide-eyed but I but everybody is iris is white like I don't get it unless you've tattooed white wide-eyed full-breasted what about the rest of us this is our Mills question is paradise
racist I mean what is what is it supposed to kind of say like half breasted and since when is our breasts a race like how could that be it doesn't make this question doesn't make any sense why is the I mean it's hardly going to be enticing if it says if it says something like hey people there's gonna be some malnutritioned
women waiting for you if they say something like this has it's hardly gonna in time a name a name like so are we up for this no yeah no come on guys no come on No so obviously it's it's it's obviously going to try to entice people with something they find enticing
not with something like saying you know why are they like perfect women as opposed to saying what like imperfect I don't get what the oh wait a minute I think I've misread this I think when he's saying white wide-eyed he's asking white my skin wide eyed ah I thought he was referring to the whiteness in the eye so it's okay well they whiten skin I mean to be honest with you I've not being to that
paradise that you're talking about so white I don't think that Quran refers to the women of paradise is white I'm not no such verse comes to my mind it refers to them as whole Hill d'Alene which means that their eyes is kind of referring to the eyes being so amazing and like dark like the the the actual so they're black I don't sound very good it sounds like they've been black but it's really dark and black and obviously
contrasted with the whiteness it's so amazing that's the that's what it's trying to highlight it doesn't actually as far as I'm aware I don't know what verse you're referring to that they they're not referred to as white in skin it doesn't mention anything about this skin but look these these verses are generic Bazin McNown no you see that's somebody saying babe on McNown means
white baby babies like an is like an egg okay you're talking about bead with a kisara refers to white babe and this was this verse is talking about the boys by the way it's the servants in paradise it's not even speaking about the women so babe is is not white that's bead in Arabic beef is the plural of a build for example babe is the collective noun for egg okay so anyway
but this was referring to this was addressing the Arabs of the time so in the time of the Prophet the general Arabia as a whole the general culture was that let's say the ideal woman so to speak had certain characteristics to be fair they never I don't think the Arabs had an obsession with white as in the way we understand white today if one could argue fair-skinned but not necessarily white like I don't think they saw Roman women of their age as an
epitome of beauty they didn't they actually saw women with dark hair Blacky black eyes and maybe fair skin as what was in the poetry idea kind of idolized as the ideal woman now each culture each kind of I don't know Eva each region within the world may have their own versions of beauty okay I don't think there's any harm in you know people having their preferences there's nothing some people prefer something let's say
fair-skinned some people prefer dark-skinned some people prefer slender slender heavenly form some people prefer like really large fat overweight in fact today some of you are laughing I'm not being funny I'm serious this today I just saw on Facebook there was this woman whose dream is to be the fattest woman on earth and she is she was huge honestly is I don't know I think she's an American or something but it was on Facebook and she's got her boyfriend
who's supporting her through this campaign through this obby she was oh my god it was it was painful to watch to just see I saw it on my newsfeed I thought what the hell is this so I it's like the fat is just hanging it's she is huge huge huge she's like she makes obese people feel like hmm you know like maybe when malnutritioned
so I was like whoa and her boyfriend was madly in love with her so there you go see Wally Massey FEMA Yasha Kuna Messiah each to their own each to their own people so I think there's nothing wrong with with people having preferences that's natural people will have their own preferences and the Arabs at the time had a general kind of preference
and and what happened is the Quran addressed that general preference so ignor has them for example many hundreds of years later he speaks about how the Arabs even then in his time and the Muslims as a whole still had that similar ideal so they were still really obsessed with women with very dark black hair and black eyes and and that they still had this as an ideal beauty he speaks about this in his book or in his book on the psychology of love by igner Haslem known as the tail or the ring of
the dog and it's interesting because he speaks in there saying that addressing this this concept of blond women and because most of the kings of the Omega dynasty in Muslim Spain and the Omega dynasty in Muslim Spain was like one of the most magnificent kind of dynasties ever held by Muslims was really symbolic of true majesty and power and it was the heights of the Muslim kind of achievements and empire
it was not some it's not viewed the way the Omega dynasty in the East was viewed so the Umayyad dynasty in the West was something else it was amazing and and and he speaks about how most of the Omega things right most of the Umayyad Kings were all pretty much blond because their mothers were blond so the the Kings he would marry obviously they would marry and have the harem after harem just just like a paradise on earth right so now obviously many of the
women's they were also because it was Muslim Spain there were European as well so they the next Kings like the offspring were often all they took after their mothers so he speaks about how they were all Ashbaugh like blonde and what they would do so Abdul Rahman and nasan as an example would dye his hair black he would color his hair black and his beard black because he wanted that that kind of look of being darkened dark beard darker but that's what the Arabs still saw and the Muslims still saw as this the epitome of beauty in there and
this is like maybe 400 years after the Prophet so he speaks about how he on the contrary he was like an odd one out because he was really attracted to like European women in his time so he says how he's like an oddity like nobody really shares that that kind of fascination with blondes in his day innate so it's interesting you can read these things I think don't take these things to heart the Quran is not being racist it's just addressing people with their certain preferences I think the issue
with racism is when you start to discriminate the issue with racism is when you start to discriminate against other things as opposed to just having your preference okay so that's just in fact there's a poet dark-dark Valley who have quoted often who when speaking about Jenna and the women in Jenna he says dismay who like speaking of
paradise dismay won't lock home para ski hooray that a paradise in which the women are hundreds of thousands of years old AC Jeanette kakaka requi he says what the hell do you want us to do with a paradise like that do you want us to just walk there like hundreds of thousands of years old for God's sake
you gotta love the kind of poets of the past honestly they had style to them whatever you know what have you say they had style that's not funny that's dr. Louie so right so now next question people next question let's take on some issues ah yeah I'm trying to now I have taken a look at a few questions beforehand aspera
so it's this screen as well taking so long to did Monday night's become a living breathing person that was diagnosed with multiple personalities hell yeah hell yeah isn't poetry discouraged in Islam not at all su saya not at all on the contrary the Prophet said were in diminution la hikmah indeed from poetry is wisdom okay so I think poetry is awesome and in
fact I think a person who doesn't truly appreciate poetry I think truly doesn't it can't appreciate beauty that's that's a that's an opinion but I think so I think so this there's a subtlety in in words it's a human it's one of the greatest human ventures Salaam hello hello Manasa well hello hello there is it allowed to travel as a woman in Maliki fix Susan Ben to Mohammed well I've actually got a
whole analysis on that so keep watching I'm gonna come to an entire analysis on that topic so what else are we looking at before I get to that analysis shall we just trying to see somebody had asked a question did you just drink with your left hand submarine behave behave can you see that it's in Reverse right so how does a new Muslim pray if they haven't learned al-fatiha if they haven't learned
al-fatiha Hameed is asking you simply you just go along with the motions just go along with what people around you have or how what they are doing and you just practice until you learn so that's fine right how does what else have we go
somebody has asked about you know these things like the day of judgment and the Sirat now you've got to understand all these things are simple imagery okay it doesn't mean it's actually going to be like that these things are done for you to to kind of take a lesson from and just understand it's not they don't have it's not exactly how you're picturing it
okay so somebody's asked about the Seurat annoying with that somebody actually asked me we've got Mohammed real tuning in from South Africa Mohammed real I know silent aloma silent su saya has asked Allah said in the Quran about poets being hypocrites what is what is it with you and poetry why isn't that
the Emir on where he says suka marry Monaco Kia Tunica Shara right so that's in a movie of his anyway it's look in surah 2 ayah Allah is condemning those specific poets who are miss guiding people misleading people not every poet of course now poetry was amazing the people in Bihari you find a
hadith that the companions would sit in the prophet's mosque discussing poetry of jahiliyyah cat big news oh hey the son of the famous poet from jahiliya so hated Nabi Selma he comes to the prophet and he he reads his poem to the Prophet dedicated to the Prophet and it's a very famous poem about Barnett's or hard of a palpable youma much bulu now this that he's speaking about his love called saad it's a woman's name and how she's left him and his heart is all
kind of crippled after her and the whole thing is a love poem and then he ends it indy he's got some lines about the prophet muhammad sallallahoalyhiwasallam and so based on that so the prophet gets up and gives him his own kind of shawl he gives it to him as a prize as a kind of like you know like appreciation token of appreciation poetry is not her arm it's not discouraged in fact it's encouraged the Quran was speaking when it says about that were under whom
frequently worthy he moon one who Mia call una mala if I know that when he speaks about the poets that they are going here and then they lost because it was speaking even our shoe says they it was speaking about a specific poets of the time who were like lost and they were speaking against the Prophet and against Allah so that's ok yep muta yamuna is raha am Italian when I through Harlem if Tomic mullah yep that's the poem right so now I lost my train of
thought right somebody had asked about the Beast the Beast not as in beast mode not as in shudder but the beast to do with the end of times and so on that this beast that will emerge now the question is what is this beast and they've said is this beast this kind of animal that scan get up it's called in Arabic dabeh okay this dab buds gonna dab but just means
like a creature this creature will emerge that will go around and there's all these kind of hadith about this dabeh so speaking about the dhaba there's a verse in the Quran referring to this so let's go to that this is the dawn of the 20th century people the legend the Grand Mufti of the male Kia and the shell Islam of the 20th century evening showed the Maliki legend one of my indirect teachers who might chains of
knowledge go through Allah in some things you should have pride what do you think what do you think people now so when we're looking at this in surah 2 numel inverse this is follows on from verse 80 81 82 these kind of verses and it begins with the famous verse that all of you have heard the in nicoletto smile motor alright in nicoletto smile motor
well that was Marisa murder in a willow mud bearing the in nicoletto smile motor that you will not cause the dead to hear Allah is addressing the Prophet he says you will not cause the dead to hear what I just meant are some madrier either willow mud beating and you will not cause the death to hear death here is a metaphor for those people who are blue like deafened by the arrogance to listen either one low would be read if they turn you but their backs on you and walk
away meaning meaning that you would not be able to hear make them listen to the truth that you can only in them our lake that you will only tell them what the truth is it's up to them to embrace it or not following this verse Allah then says woman woman and to be heard alone me on Delilah to him and you are not the one to guide the blind okay once again speaking about those who are blind to
the truth okay the loss is like in Tamil that it's not the eyes like in Tamil Callooh it's their hearts that are blind to the truth you will not you are not somebody that can guide the blind from their misguided suami I need that woman anta be hard on me and Delilah to him into smell alarming you men you be a latina for Muslim or that you will only be able to make those here who listen to our
verses our science wha-hoo Muslim moon and they submit to this truth now following this in verse 82 Allah begins by speaking about what about the dead in nicoletto smell or motor you will not that the dead you cannot make do anything about them they are dead and these who are so arrogant you can't do anything about them hear them inversed 82 Allah goes back to the topic of the
dead and the afterlife while Apollo I lay him orogeny l'homme de ba mineral or the to kalamoon and NASA can you be a attina la him when the the command has been established the matter has been resolved when it has happened this is what am I saying well they work on a human old that way the work I'll call you Ali this matter has now been resolved when
is a lot talking about when is everything resolved it's in the afterlife after Raj Nala home da ba we at that stage will bring forth for them a creature this creature took a limo home ananassa can you bir Tina la opinión this creature will strangely address them that they used to disbelieve in these signs that Allah
will give life to this inanimate creature to show them this is how we bring the dead to life if na are sure says this that this is speaking about the akhirah this beast he says what harder in turn on electric irritability Yama Rama do Kerala hominin wide this now moves on to a remembrance of the day of judgement and what has been held for them as a kind of intimidation so he says Fahad the hill Joomla - for an animal Pablo ha
so he says this is attached to the sentence before in akela to smell nota now then he goes on to say here he says what is Raja DARPA terminal of the urea um kafir uni-level motor if canonical uncle bath wanna Chaka and Nicola Maha he says this is because they used to deny the afterlife and there is no doubt that the speech of this beast to them the table on the home is an address
Mahalalel hasha it is upon the occurrence of the Day of Judgment yomel Hashem the day of our gathers everybody this is what he says and then he mentions what the Ruby eight fee was fee ha da da ba or walked a guru ji our mechanic Marin forever by Eva by if at all as I need he says there are many narrations that are speaking about this creature coming when it will come how you'll come at the end of time how will come on this earth he says all of them
are marieb they all are clashing unreliable narrations the if at all as I need my if at all as I need these are weak weak narrations Thunder AHA he says you can see in the tafseer of were to be really it la l official be hawa knock there the reason even any benefit in bringing them and criticizing them that's how unreliable they are so that is the legend explaining to you that that is the legend explaining to you even are sure that this dhaba to Lord is
that battle are they is a creature to Kalima whom will come for yo Mel hasha on the day of judgment as the Quran addresses it it is not speaking about this that in this dunya ok so that some people may like to believe that it's going to happen in this dunya that's their choice it's they believe although the Quran seems to address this as though it's speaking about the afterlife and that is that is what if not sure the legend the Shaiful islam of the 20th century and the grand masti of the Mauna Kea addresses and that's what I'm in line with we've gotta start sheriff
Norman beg in the house and on Saturn and shake at Norma's Island it's an honor to have you here people somebody who set up who not only went to the same a senior to me in one in jamia be Nuria when I was studying in Karachi but also the first Harlem to return back to the United States I believe after finishing his Harlem course and setting up the first major madrasah in in the United States an asylum right so that is as far as that is concerned what
are your views is not the Canaan Cyrus the Iranian King you see I'm not sure these kind of things Allah speaks in the Quran when things are being addressed in the Quran they sir you see these two things going on there's a story a narrative and then there's historical accuracy and facts and lessons the story is brought not to teach you for example allah mention the story he's not trying to teach you science or geography or
even history or zoology you Anatomy he's trying to just allow you to take a lesson from this a moral from the story now if you want to add things that's fine that's up to you okay but that was not the purpose of the Quran okay now so that's that Muhammad that none has asked about shave tour Akram that we and an article or his brief if you want to call it an article on his words on the second
coming of Jesus I think that's a good question you see chef Akram not we he's an amazing legendary really scholar in his own right and a blessing to us Muslims in the West and in the UK and to me not only a senior person from age and elm but also somebody I would like to see as the senior scholarship of the UK and the West and he really wanna in my understanding demonstrates through
actions how scholarship ought to be now he he he wrote this article on if we want to call it an article a response on the second coming of Jesus now my understanding is that now it's very clear from the sorry not my understanding very clear from what he wrote that he does believe in the second coming of Jesus now people this is how you disagree this is how you disagree shehram not we this was released yesterday this kind of Arabic he wrote in Arabic and people sent it to me as
well this morning Shattuck Romney himself he found me okay I was actually thinking that you know I would like to speak to him now about this matter but he found me and I sent him a message and he kind of found me and we had a allahi a beautiful kind of conversation that followed and I wish this is how Allah ma would disagree you know he said to me he said that look his
only issue was with debates it was not with opinions and I asked him I said chef this was and you can verify this with the shell I said sure I said you know would would you not acknowledge this is a difference of opinion and people who this settles well wid they take these people who start settles well with they take that well my he he said I have no problem with that he said in fact these were his words he said that people he said he said somebody approached me weeks ago asking me in the Masjid that what do you say about
somebody who denies the second coming of Jesus he said I say and what and the person was kind of shocked and said what do you mean like why wouldn't you condemn him and he said I said to the person why would I condemn him it's his choice if he wants to believe it believe it he's and he said to me look shelter crime said to me I do believe he does believe that in the second coming but he actually advised me he said look do your course on it show people your evidence that you believe Jesus is not coming he said that's fine he said that's your
opinion I respect that as a different opinion and he said that I was he said I was simply venting about this debate that was what I was kind of really condemning these were his words he said to me look I've got no issue with people having different opinions and he said I actually think diversity in opinions is very healthy for the UK and in the West and it brings about a maturity in Muslims so I'm wallahi that is how you disagree and he just said to me that look he said you know Mufti he said look just don't
get caught up in these debates and in this and that and because you know you're wasting your precious time and you're much better off and he said he said you're much better off investing in the kind of teaching you do and stuff like that you're making a difference and these were his words to me and he said that look I and by the way people had been spreading rumors that he really regrets doing that course with me people have been kind of sharing these posts saying oh I bet Akram that we are better Akram that we really regrets doing that cause then you know debunking myths of black magic and gin possession with
multi appellate and he said to me he said well lollie I do not he said that's not true he said I'm very happy that I did that course with you and he said when I did it with you he said I was actually really surprised at your way of thinking and he impressed me and I liked it and he said and I want to see you doing more stuff like that and he said to me look why don't you do a proper video on your opinion on Jesus but just stay away from kind of get lost in these debates because all these people just want to debate you and that's not kind of beneficial well I see some amazing gems
of advice may Allah forever keep him smiling touch my heart and he always does and I see him in that kind of very senior kind of for the you for the UK really that kind of patriarchal role and even if he disagrees with me that is fine I'm not here to kind of say everybody has to agree with me I've never said that I've just said stop drowning the dissent my only plea has been stop be transparent like where there's a difference acknowledge a difference
don't be in black and white when it's a high you know 4k high-definition color picture stop this kind of this mafioso this very kind of blackmailing approach to knowledge that's not so that's been my so I really respect and love whatever he has to say look he can disagree with me and I respect that as the chef's opinion and I and that and he has no problem in his words with me having this view and he said to me he's more than
happy to do similar events with me in the future I mean not necessarily on Jesus but on other issues he said that you know don't think what these people are saying that I'm kind of did you know that I've regret kind of you know being hosted with you and things he said not at all he said I'm actually he said and I actually speak very positively about you Allah may sing words really meant a lot to me because some people were trying to misuse his words and I have a lot of respect for him so I you know sometimes you get a bit confused and you don't know like what's going on and and so I really love him for really cooling
me and just saying look I wrote this yesterday and I want to explain what this is about and he's so subhanAllah so that's you know if you want to disagree with me like that I love Russell I would have nothing but amazing words to say about you you know if you want to disagree with me like that anybody that that kind of disagree is awesome the problem is the kind of uric a fear you're a borderline kaffir you're at the jar you're a small the judge you're you know what is your already alerted somebody who's left

any plans on coming to Manchester why not of course of course it shot a lot insha Allah shall we take right let's take some of these issues now there is something I'd like to discuss with us and that is people I'd like to discuss how Islam changed or the changes that were brought about in Islam after the
seller the seller or the the the early generations of Islam which of the Sahaba the tab in in the about having up to the generation of like Imam Malik after this Islam it begins in that kind of time but really after them it cements and solidifies as a different entity almost not as an entirely different entity but the period after them are known as the
helath those who come after okay now the hell of this some religion Islam during their time undergoes a huge institutionalization process religion becomes systematized it becomes structure alized and institutionalized it gets linked in with Empire with with a lot of kind of there's a whole system Creed becomes codified we now know what dogma appears all of a sudden and replaces faith it's more about dogma
meth-heads up here now and people start kind of they want to just restrict people in all aspects now this I'm not saying has to be that it that this structural ization or institutionalization of Islam has to be a bad thing I'm not saying that but it does bring within a new face of Islam one thing you can't deny is the face of Islam is modified this is what I would like to refer to as Neo Islamists
ISM okay so Islam is obviously there but it's now got this new structural face it's got all these bolt ons and this now represents Islam this is from the time of the caliph so art either becomes a it comes on the scene med hubs land on the scene Empire is now linked to religion religious expansionism political things are well entrenched I mean oh some of these things were there before but in a very prototype version okay politics was
there before but the other things about the religion so the politics earlier on was kind of almost divorced from religion to quite a strong extent so Bonnie umeå were very political in their way and very kind of Pro tribal but they weren't necessarily trying to push this whole Islam Islam Islam they weren't trying to act like the ambassadors of Islam or linked with religion either in fact they didn't even really care much for scholars and but with the Abbasids
as the Abbasids start to develop this culture emerges that locks in the clergy with the state it creates a new culture for the clergy a new institutionalization of the religion and with this there's a lot of things that go on you see Muslims in in hindsight view this view the Quran like we view it with our understanding that we've developed afterwards and it's important that we understand this point
so Muslims today or even are at that point like let's say a thousand years ago when they started then reading the quranic was about affirming ideas that they've already now got it wasn't so much about it wasn't a blank canvas anymore the ideas were already there and Islam and the Quran was simply now a kind of proving a confirmation bias so let's say miracles or these kind of things or anything people would now look into the Quran only to affirm the views
they already have so this era of neo Islamism is interest and this happened like I'd like you to like I'll give you some examples like look not about this but just how we viewed the Quran with things that came of them we retrospectively apply them back onto the Quran so let's say as an example here's a good example the word like older man
right so the word Allah ma Israel is generally understood as scholars of Islam in nya Shailaja may I buy the Hiller anima in verse of the Quran indeed the ulema are those who fear Allah but you see you've got to understand that Allah ma is a term that the Sahaba in the time of the Prophet didn't exist like this there was no clergy there was no orlimar like that so
this Surrey is just trying to alright ok now this so when the prophet read this to the companions there was no who were they thinking of when they read the word anima because there was no Rama who did the Arabs used to refer to as a llama people with insight with knowledge today the word Allah in Arabic for example is used for scientists as an example in
general Arabic they'll say Oh Lamar means scientist in the time of the Prophet Allah moment people of deep insight and knowledge we read the Quran with this understanding that Rolla MA is talking about the clergy that's a perfect example of hindsight retrospectively superimposing concepts on the Quran if this is making sense that's what I'd like to explain another good example is like Allah saying in the
quran in ej i know fil ardi Khalifa I am placing a halifa now today we understand this to mean representative we understand this to mean you see in the time of the Prophet they never used to use the word Khalifa for like kings and deputies so the Arabs the giant hylia Arabs never used to say oh these are the hoola fire these are the kings they would call them Malik Kings they would call them the the new Kaaba of a tribe the sayeth of a tribe they wouldn't say the halifa
this was a word that obviously existed in Islam I mean in the Arabic language it emerges after the Prophet when abu bakr radiallahu an is deemed and given the title the accolade you are khalifa to Rasul Allah you have come after the Rasul Allah halifa means after something that comes at the end health from the word health then what happened is in almost time they said we can't call you Holly fatale halifa so we're gonna call you amirul
mumineen then this would refer develops a political understanding of a ruler in Islam so you start to get the ha'la'tha of money in a year and the whole effor so what happens in time to come if halifa does not mean a successor it does not mean a successor it's taken on that meaning it does not mean a successor in that I said it means somebody that yeah I suppose it's taken on that meaning it means somebody that comes at the end of and you could say well yes you succeed
him but it wasn't necessarily about a chain of succession it wasn't like that hence they changed the term when it came to Omar because now it's just getting khalifatul Khalifa and Holly fertile Holly fertile Khalifa so it wasn't about that it was about the end so something that comes as the end of something and then it's adopted this understanding of a deputy this is the understanding it's adopted in later Islam in political philosophy within Islam but then what we've done is we now when we read the Quran and read the word halifa
we carry our understanding which wasn't there in the time of the Prophet so when the Prophet was speaking to people and read to them the verses that inni ja'ilun fil ardi halifa right in somebody just saying hey bro i'm knowledgeable on this behave a bro I'm knowledgeable on this you think I'm just sitting here for you behave yourself right so the thing is look Holly for a major
I don't feel of the Khalifa I'm placing a halifa India this is why halifa here the original understanding would have meaning that would have meant the atom was coming at the end of something in that a whole chain of hominins would have preceded him and he was at the end okay so that is something for for you to understand then this understanding of a deputy on earth and stuff like this comes much later on it is through neo Islamist thought so through the
understanding of the helath its re-engineered and superimposed onto the Quran so I wanted to share that tip with you that look understand this when you look at the Quran try to understand terminologies when you read it how would have the Companions understood this when this was revealed because they didn't have these terms that we have today and they didn't have that psychosocial narrative that reflected it either so it's worth it's worth kind of definitely pondering over okay people
shall we move on to some issues arise shall we take a look at what Mulvey Yassir Sabah said I want to share not take up too much time but I want to share what if I can open this what movie yourself at the Obon desaad if I can get to this own momento momento por favor
okay I'm just trying to open this you see what happened people is you're all familiar with my response to movie yourself now I had obviously criticized not only his approach but his his language because the the reason I did that is it's important first of all to understand that when I criticized that the open the
kind of movement what I was criticizing was the cult okay I wasn't criticizing every Deobandi because do Bundys themselves are fed up with this cult I've had many do Bundy's believe it or not admit to this several do Bundy's are fed up with this kind of cult and blackmailing kind of mentality Mulvey acid himself has gone around trying the superimposition approach controlling people in fact one of the mallanna's there is a son of one of the
major dollar room in in the UK do Bundy dollar room who's on social media I believe his name is Mawlana Mahavira was somebody who was also heavily attacked by people like malonic acid with this I will debate you you're trying to corrupt our hanafi madhhab and you'll like this and so this is something that they themselves are victims of you need to be a way you need to kind of understand this I've had people like chef here chefs are here who's done great work of Birmingham himself acknowledge that look he has
tried to cater more for women and I think and I applaud that and I encourage this kind of these kind of efforts he said that I've tried to cater more and more for women in my courses in my teaching and he said and I'm sure he wouldn't mind me if he said I mean this is something he's he's openly acknowledged that these do Bundy's will not allow him you see this is a cult mentality that is the problem so right so that's
the kind of cult that I'm condemning and my purpose of mentioning cussing malonic acid are not we saw previously to Malaviya said the Bundy is because you can because some people like I've had Imams away reach out to me and a few of the people saying that look how come you highlight these kind of things about Maulana passing are not we so and my point was that look you can find excuses for people saying these kind of things it's not about I'm not here to criticize
Mawlana pass Amina not we but my point is to say that you guys can like yossel al Hanafy and these other people can justify these things and then they have a problem with me I mean they can justify the concept of another prophet coming after the provi they can justify all these things and then they have a problem with me just saying I mean come on behave so that's a so I did and what was interesting is when I picked up on Maulana uses English and the reason I did that is because it was appalling I
mean this isn't a normal person this is an imam british-born okay born and raised for god sake then you're asking why do people why are they so disenfranchised with Islam rather than condemning me I said that that he needed to fix and work on his language so after that sheffy acid made a post
you know in psychology they speak about the overcompensating effect so when when somebody say something to somebody insecure what that person does is they overcompensate and part of this is like the Napoleon syndrome like known also as this Mormon syndrome or you know when somebody is lacking something or they insecure about something because Napoleon was a small guy so that so they say you know they give it that that he that's why he had this rage about him but like if somebody was for example criticized for being weak they might overdo it in trying to act all strong or if somebody was
criticized for being poor they might overdo it in trying to act rich and so basically because I criticize some of his language he made a post overdoing it with it shouldn't surprise you when you see Muslim modernist spouting spouting egregious I
gotta say I he had I was like war on earth is egregious and I wanna hear him pronounce it agreed egregious statements of qu4 they conspicuous beliefs half by
turning into a half-baked so-called Muslim because of your ascription your ascription to Islam boy monitoring Abbas [Laughter]
English the solid a solid I hands I want to hear the share pronouncing these words agreed use this one this is this is my exact example seriously this is whoa previous statements of right so description too
description I think you actually mean ascription of first of all description isn't even the best word to use you probably wanted to say something like adherence to Islam but okay description and if you're speaking of qualities it's
usually of manga Nahuatl Gonzalez I'm Anthony egregious yeah I want to say is look look instead of Cher Mulvey yes it's odd right look instead of all of this because I'm just being
honest in what I'm saying look you yourself are alienating self a alienating yourself from Muslims the way you behave the way you I'm being honest that you wouldn't like you even for Pakistan you wouldn't fit in the cities in Pakistan I mean I'm just being honest like you know but if you know what it is I love honesty I'm being honest maybe in a village in Pakistan you'd fit in but if you were in a city like Karachi in Pakistan or Islamabad or even Lahore you wouldn't really fit in they would think oh maybe you're from a village okay like
this is how far the Muslim world has even moved on you need to kind of move with times my friend because look and language is important okay whether it's gonna be English like the prop this is the problem with Madison's mattresses have locked of these students that neither the English the English is appalling they can't speak although they all do is no better I'm being honest with you the or do of these people is just as it's just as a poor thing right what can we do after that
yes it's a pasta ye o what are we supposed to you know what what language a blast espanol is it I mean what D Spanish Oh what are we support estás diciendo me hermano oh maybe Neha schwa we're short on one ma Musha mandarin I mean some some language for God's sake have a language
and look my whole point is here is a suggestion and in fact this is my message to Mali yes in some Sahib Thomas barakatuhu mahalia RT with honor of Tia what I want to say is instead of doing all these digs every single day he's making a post about me I mean this is how obsessed the guy has become how about you come and sit in front of me and we have a dialogue how does that sound
I'm inviting you with the condition it's gotta be a dialogue we gotta talk to each other please yeah make it happen [Laughter] it's gonna be awesome honestly it's gonna be awesome I don't run away I saw in one of these posters while people started to say the share of the Obon the Lion of the oven I thought oh my god oh my god another one the area lion lion carrier so stop acting like this line of
the opened stop hiding behind the shoulders of other great respected Mushaf like chef Akram and these are the people come and sit with me and talk to me what say you man what say you shall we do this all let's have let's have a conversation what do you say I mean I uh what won't make the mercury I won't make them I can hear the religion you know they saw honestly I really I really want to do this like what do you say shall we shall we have a conversation sure you you you want to come I'll set it up your dinner is on me
not literally you nothing I know the madrasah habits die hard but your dinner is on me I will have it sorted I will sort your accommodation you can everything will be catered to I will if you'll and if you get to Birmingham I will have you collected in peace in respect we dig with class with class ok and we can have a and it will not be an egregious it will not be an egregious
dialogue I tell you please yaar please remind your mary-john come and please sit and talk to me rather than you know from a farm writing a post about me every day come and sit with me man let's let's have a chat it's good to talk I want a serious I want to seriously hear this person in person had this
conspicuously you know honestly honestly I'm gonna seriously ah yeah they'll sit they hit the handles here the hidden candle keep didn't wear a jacket occurred early I'm missing you yeah seriously yeah City yeah yeah not the Oreo duty
there are balloon ah hysteria come what do you say this is an open invitation you know more of these cheap shots from afar you can't these are no lies you know this one running you're running away this line of the oven not nice zero so why don't you hook this up let's do this man let's have an awesome dialogue awesome conversation okay should we leave it at that that's my open message to you Mulvey acid sod Thomas barakato mahalia I say
it and I master this okay our teeth are a are a PRT tonia right I don't know because obviously to him I'm a Kaffir already but but I'm gonna show honestly I'm gonna show you the utmost risk like everything I mean it when I say I'll see to all of these things with class with honors you all of these things will be seen - okay so I don't even know if I can say Salam to him because he obviously doesn't consider me probably as a Muslim so cello radhe
radhe right I'll leave that message for Mobius here and the other thing by the way you know they've developed this new craze saying oh why does he use the name Abu layth hmm a boule you know we must call him by his birth given name not a belief and it theory kahiko Siliguri yeah the beard the beard Keiko Siliguri yeah
that's what I mean right first of all we cannot call people by their cuneus really do you call Abu Bakr the 'allahu on by his Cunha no you refuse to call up about car wise Cunha oh but Abu Hurairah do you refuse to call him above Herrera a Cunha is basically Abu something like Abu layth I've had this Cunha since I began my studies okay so I've had this from in the late 90s I believe that's how long I've had
this Cunha with me so this issue of we refuse to call people by their cuneus do you call Abu Hurairah by his Cunha you refuse to always he ashamed they said that if you use your Cunha you must be ashamed of the name your father gave you really Abu Huraira abu saeed anil houdry abu away I mean are these know all these Sahaba they use Abu Hanifa Abu Hanifa D another loved one you don't call him out come calling Abu Hanifa must be embarrassed of his the name is that gave
him abu you sir a cha-cha-cha Abu layth a summer can be the famous Hanafy Abu layth a summer can de so Mary John this one look nice you know this one too much so basically ponder over what you're saying at least try to make some sense
for God's sake right let's move on to some other questions man let's move on to some other questions what are we looking at ah right okay now I've been asked about women travelling somebody's asked am i high I'm always high man I'm as high as a kite that's my default state honestly honestly that is
my default State what's that poem that Nash's Rudy here zindagi Kelly Nash's Rudy has in the geek a year silk shop he caffeine he have a hoody Kelly the intoxication is important for this in life that alcohol on its own doesn't
quite cut it he says he says kisi ki musta home may do Bajau egg Dafa Allah DRA immerse yourselves into somebody's wild and crazy eyes drown yourself in those eyes but ah has seen
some under head hood Khushi kill that it is an amazing ocean in which you can commit suicide so people sometimes this is my default state you know I'm actually likely some of it I'm a bit local so that's my my sanity is over overrated anyway right so okay now
somebody had asked me a question what are your views on Hamza Yusuf I'm the Yusuf's amazing is a legend one of my heroes one of my icons when I let me share something with you people when I began when I first considered traveling to study and to take not just traveling to study when I first thought I want to commit to studying it was after watching the video of share Hamza Yusuf called a here Illuma teen revival of the Islamic Sciences when he's interviewing his
teacher in a tent and this was back in the days when they were on those VHS kind of video cassettes you know those video cassettes this is like in 97 or something and so that's right those of you trolling you will get blocked okay yeah along with Deen is the name of a book of imam ghazali but i don't think i'm the useless video that video was about his book that video was about reviving these sciences okay so I think
that so that really will ah he after watching that Allah inspired me in my heart that I thought you know what I want to learn honestly that was I was only 17 and I thought to myself I want to learn Allah and that changed I mean that and other things that came after it changed the trajectory of my life I totally loved
sorry I was trying to Oh God almost all right there you go have blocked him right so that actually changed the trajectory of my life and so to me Hamza Yusuf is always a legend and it doesn't mean he has to he would have to agree with all my views or things like that and I wouldn't expect him to I I've only met him once very briefly when he came to the UK and I would love to be able to meet him in the future speak to
him pick his brains on things but it doesn't mean I mean you know sometimes some people are like oh haha he disagrees with you I never said I'm his clone I just said I love the guy that's all I mean I you know he's an inspiration for me that's all right so where are the sunglasses the sunglasses are over there somewhere right so let's move on right women traveling now I've
been asked a question about women traveling and is this without a madam am Akram is a male guardian to whom that is related to the woman in such a way that they could not marry amongst themselves and so brother son father uncle nephew these kind of things for example grandfather stuff like this and muharram and I've dealt with the question which is also a separate question now on YouTube that if a woman wet-nurse is a
man does he become her muharram which is absurd of course he doesn't so if she kind of breastfed him or he drank from her actual milk does he become and some people have been pushing this in saying that valid thing in Islam I've explained and I've got that video as a separate that that's absurd and not true right okay so as two women traveling now we've got to understand first of all I'm going to explain that yes of course
a woman can travel in Islam without a guardian I'm explaining that first of all so I'm gonna give you the ruling first of all of course she can and this ruling was simply about safety so once I've highlighted that ruling I'm gonna go through the breakdown and the detail of this topic with you okay now so there there are this this and this issue arises from certain hadith that are transmitted from the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam peace and
blessings be upon him mainly from four companions okay from even our home are from Abu Sidon houdry from Abu Hurairah and from even our bus rhodiola wangan so these four companions are the main transmitters of this particular happy about a woman if she travels she needs a guardian now so that's something I want us to understand that this is so let's take a look at these narrations first of all all of these narrations seem to vary in key detail okay in how far can a woman
travel without a guardian because did they mean by this that she can't even step outside her house generally speaking no scholars understood that generally speaking maybe some nut cases some control freaks may have had such an understanding but generally speaking nobody in Islam understood things like that that what they meant was a journey okay even if it was a short journey or a long journey this is what they they didn't mean things like her going into into the streets or into that street or this tree to the markets or things like this
because everybody has always been doing that okay now we have a hadith from abnormal this hadith is transmitted way in in the mustard vomit in a Buddhahood in in the book in sahih al-bukhari in Sahih Muslim and in these generations in Sahih Muslim even Omar says that it is impermissible he heard from the Prophet for a woman to travel Allah Mahad Imahara mean mean except with Muharram
for the last that I am the journey Macerata Salathe am a journey that would take three whole days in one narration in sahih muslim he says Mesilla to salah saleh al that the journey of three nights right so this is ignore much narration he comes in these books in Buhari in Muslim degenerations in Abu Dawood in the Muslims apartment then we have the narration of
Abu Hurairah Abu arraylist narration is interesting he seems to mention it's in Buhari it's in Sahih Muslim it's inter maybe it's in Abu Daoud Abu Huraira says he heard the prophets Amos here at a young minhwa Laila but the journey of one single day and a single night Lisa Maha Hermann he uses the word formal which is like sanctity and used often for a guardian who there is a sanctity that you can't marry because of now in
his narration in Sahih Muslim he says massara to Leila the journey of one night otherwise it says in sahih al-bukhari massara to yeomen one laila of one day and one night this is this is the kind of transmission we're getting from abu huraira which is inside Buhari since I'm Muslim it's inhibin Imagi its intermedia okay so these kind of you've got these four okay so one two three four aha so these four then abou Sidon AHA
dream he has a transmission which is interesting it's in Sahih Muslim he says I heard the Prophet say that she cannot undertake Suffern a journey which he akunis the Lassiter a Yemen fficer iDEN that is of three whole days I'm more for Sarai than and above three whole days in his narration and that sort of intermediate and there's a narration in Abu Dawood that says Suffern focus
velocity a young for Sidon in Abu Dawood his narration of abiding houdry says I heard the prophecy a journey which is more than three whole days and Counting so and in his narration in the mustard of Ahmed he says focus falafel al a journey that is more than three whole nights and then he has one in Sahih Muslim which just says the word three thelusson and then it's interesting he has another one in Muslim and Bihari that says young man a minute aha two whole days of time now so this narration
of Abu Zeid Anil Kadri which is in tirmidhi Muslim it's in Abu Dawood and Muslim Ahmed all seem to say more than three whole days and Counting his narrations in Muslim and Bihari say other narrations in must remember sorry say only two days and then his other narration in Muslim says three days then the fourth companion which is if not bus now he has a narration that mentions no time span it only says that I heard the prophecy lattice after that
woman should not travel who believes in online is messenger ulema are the muharram except with accompanied by a guardian now this is embody sin Muslim and it's in the most non violent this from Abner Abbasi all appears to be one narration why because at the end of it he says the person then asks the Prophet oh but my wife has gone to Hajj in some he says she's gone in some he says she's intending to go and I have been enlisted for battle so he's about to go on a
battle now he says - and the Prophet and that she's already gone and I I've been enlisted and the Prophet says go do the Hajj with her join her upon the Hajj he says that in all of those narrations in Behati Muslim enactment so it shows that this is one man asking and this seems to be one incident with it not bus so these are the four main companions upon which this whole understanding rests and is built okay of a woman needing a
companion now like I mentioned most scholars all accepted this was not talking about a woman just leaving the house and going about the town this was talking about a journey most scholars in the past said that a woman cannot go on a journey journey unless she's a company this was their understanding based on these kind of honey then came the issue of Oh what about the Hajj if a woman has to go to the Hajj because Allah is
telling in the Quran that we he's stating his instructing on - tada I'm income that you know who well alayhi Allen a CHL BT that that people have an obligation to go perform the Hajj so here there is a huge disagree amongst amongst scholars on who can perform the Hajj a woman let's say a woman doesn't have a guardian to go with her okay now according to certain scholars she can still go that is not a problem
okay now amongst them were people like from the Salaf even a serene even a debate sighs even debate these are like even a job a student of it now bus the chef a chef area the chef or a method said she can go in a group of women Imam Malik had a very open understanding he said she doesn't she can just go with anybody as long as she's accompanied she can go whether they are men or not but as long as he they used the term rough patch on Munna a safe company and they open about Paul
the great Maliki legend from Muslim Spain uses the reference he says the majority of the scholars are upon this whether they are or not one can argue but this is what I mean about all them from Muslim Spain over a thousand years ago in his commentary on Sahil Bihari writes in his understanding the majority of scholars are Rwanda and he says there's a hadith from ignore hallmark that he would do Hajj with with with neighboring with women who were his neighbors they would come with him when he would go to do Hajj so that's the
kind of understanding okay now then in this the hanafi madhhab imam abu hanifa said that if the journey was more than three days like it was a lengthy journey the hajj then she can only go if she has a Muharram and the humbly seemed to go alongside with that as does is hearted Nora Hawaii as well in his method and I believe a booth phone as well so these are some of the classical understandings okay now then came another problem you see what's interesting
is this problem came that oh well what if a woman was kidnapped and she's dead you know it just goes to show how some of the olam I thought they say like Oh what if she's kidnapped or enslaved and taken far away let's say she's taken away a hundred miles away so she's oh let's say she becomes a Muslim in a non-muslim land that is hostile to her so how can she mush but if she runs away
let's say she has an opportunity to run away if she runs away oh but she doesn't have a guardian and what's hilarious is some scholars just outright said you know it's an obligation she must still go it's shocking that they actually problematized this they actually saw this as a problem like mmm and Kamala Dean Ibrahim am the famous Hanafy he's
get out close was that well she can she she must still run away because it is a problem but AHA we don't call this a journey because in Arabic this won't be called a journey this will be called an escape honestly I love I love how hard day why not just say look get the hell out of there get the hell out of here
with any chance you get run why not just say something like are you crazy even trying to contemplate these issues just run run run have you heard of Forrest Gump just do a Forrest Gump that's the forget about trying to just five and the fact that oh well that's because it would apply but this is called an escape it's not called a journey for God's sake do you live in the real world this so sometimes you see when people say oh but scholars in the
past didn't pick up on this issue you've got to understand that they didn't always think the way we think we are thinking within our own environment they were thinking within their own environment and one could ask why was a great scholar like hypno who mom really trying to justify this so much because the luck and the control that the hanafi madhhab had was a notorious one right so this is y and this is y if no her mom is one of those scholars who actually does disagree with the Hanafi method on a few issues and faces a hell of a lot of
slack for it that they actually kind of they've almost dissed him to an opinion that they don't like taking his his opinions anymore within the Hanafi method and his own student was somebody that disowned him so you can see what they were suffering from so right so that's coming to this issue and I wanna I'd like to highlight here that you know imam abu hanifa was actually trying to create ease for the woman in his time most of the ulama were going with the
understanding that a woman couldn't travel on any journey so he said he took the longest journey which was three whole days and nights so if a woman is to go off on her own for three whole days he said that that's the one we're going to take and in any short journey she can travel unaccompanied imam abu hanifa was actually trying to make life easy for the women around him what his mother hub of entually started to do was a whole different story
okay they then converted this into miles they then like even a hobby Dean who really just puts this even I'll be Dean you know there's a great scholar but what he did to the hanafi madhhab and I suppose he wasn't the first person but he kind of seals it he turns it into something else honestly he kind of officially turns it other people before him had already kind of set up this rigid approach and he just kind of locks it into place he says that we're going to not go with Abu Hanifah thing we're gonna go with this
one day and one night and and then we're gonna he also reinforces that this should be converted into miles which makes 48 miles and a woman is incapable like she is Islamically incapable of traveling 48 miles and then the shocking thing is okay forget the fact that even a hobby Dean said that people here in the West in the UK are teaching this now can you believe this so and what's worse is that the UK media has picked up on it so the UK media the independent had an
article and the Daily Mail picked up an article in 2016 saying that the Blackburn Muslim Association whatever that is for some Association are advising all their Islamic kind of adherents that it is impermissible for a woman to travel 48 miles and if she does she is deserving of the Hellfire okay she's and this is absurd so you will get women that they allowed to travel 47 miles they allowed to travel 40 7.90
but that final step in eternity you choose that final step this is this on her arm this this step this this just one more one small step one giant leap into jahannam so that you know that final step that's gonna make it 48 miles that's one small step for a woman one giant leap into Jannah [Laughter] this is absurd
this is ridiculous this one is making mockery of the religion you know this is a mockery of the Dean okay so we're making a mockery people right so now I'm going to come back to arms taking a look at these issues right so these issues people and let's let me give you another example and like the the hanafis the seller fees especially the saudi seller fees Oh Baba the Saudi seller fees bottle you know these
hanafis in kebab Nikoli like a layer above the moon they're like whoa they like whom do you think that's controlling will show you controlling so look check this out the Fatah WA that the board of fatwa in Saudi Arabia Fatah one legend at that email was asked can a woman travel without a madam they said yeah I don't wanna Marathi Suffern Suffern it's Haram for her to have a journey Badoon in Muharram Matlin [Music]
categorically so uh unco surah till Mustafa and Paulette even if it's a long journey or a short journey I gotta I'm gonna act like one of those you know those who didn't really so and then Chef bimba's chef Mumbai's you've all heard of chef bimba's bin baz is a bit of a sleek name though you gotta say he's got that bin bars it's got that kind of ring to it though it sounds like kind of like super
hippo more like I don't know like you you're kind of thinking bin bass people say bin baz is gonna come probably picturing like a super bass a bass but chef minbars who's passed away may Allah have mercy on him and elevate him in journals elevate every Muslim a male love mercy on all of his creation on all in the whole of humanity I mean right so chef bin baz was asked by a saudi a paul
so I mean she wasn't pausing financially poor but a an unfortunate teacher Saudi woman female teacher who said that to go sometimes whilst we're teaching we have to go from them man the the city the man in Saudi Arabia we have to go by bus to some neighboring kind of some vicinity some localities where we we will be having either a session or delivering something and we'll go by the school bus as in the whole the staff bus we're gonna take the bus
can we go he said he said laughs no it is haram because he goes against the hadith of the Prophet so it's interesting that look that these this whole understanding this whole understanding and I don't think somebody said oh say I mean I don't think was I mean allowed women traveling generally either without a guardian I don't think
he did but that some Olimar have and I'll come to that in a moment now see let's take a look at all of this what's really going on you see these had I've quoted people these hadith were the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam not trying to set boundaries to confine women at all and anybody who thinks that anybody who thinks that has a poor
opinion of the best of creation sallallahu alayhi wasallam the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was trying to safeguard now during his lifetime medina and the muslim settlement was attacked and was was undergoing huge hostilities neighboring tribes at time you had hot fun and these are the tribes and all these people you had the assad the coalition against the
Prophet you had so many people targeting the targeting the Muslim communities laying kind of CEO or opportunists you had an understanding that the Crafar of Quraish said to the prophet of allah debía that any men that if a man is a a congratula knife a man comes to you who believes you will have to return him to us and the Prophet agreed because the Muslims needed this they needed to compromise for this safety for for kind
of a peace settlement now at the time when the women came the Prophet said we agreed to men but we didn't say woman so we're not gonna send these women back this infuriated the Crafar of Quraish and other tribes as well people were just dying for an opportunity to get the Muslims back now as the time progressed the Muslims Slim's kind of had treaties peace
treaties with varying tribes okay now some of these like so for example sometimes they were neighboring tribes there was let's say favored with the Jewish kind of settlement then that gets settled Muslims kind of take over they established this okay that's not a threat anymore then you've got the coalition ok the Coalition breaks away some other tribes come in they become friendly now and these ones then well they think well and towards the end of the prophet's life the whole of arabia had pretty much come under an agreement
with the prophet and most of arabia had come under Islam so you see that based on the dangers the vicinity was varying hence the Prophet was saying oh she shouldn't travel one day because right now the tribe a whole day would get a woman this far beyond that is a danger zone then the the peace treaties expand oh who travels two days is ok but beyond that there's a danger zone oh now it's
expanded even further three days oh then it expands a bit more three days and more this was the Prophet trying to safeguard the women because yes men were targets too but women were greater and Sina softer targets by these people okay so this was why the Prophet Solomon said and how can we prove this well let's go to another hadith right now I want to
take you to a hadith which is also in Bukhari now this hadith in which the Prophet is addressing a companion by the name of our idea even hurt him okay I did not hurt him is speaking to the prophet and the Prophet says to him he says to him yeah ID do you know where all her eyes and Hara is a place a location it's actually located in Iraq it's very far from the Arabian Peninsula especially in that day and age and he
says you know I've heard of it this place called adhira the Prophet says that the Prophet says to him yadi the intellect bigger hearts that if life stretches for you that if you live a long life you will see litera henna you will certainly see the ina a woman traveler female traveler setting off
from Al Hara coming to Makkah what a too full bait and she will do the world on her own Latasha without a half of a Lama she will fear none except Allah and in another rewire it says latouche chicken Athena that the Prophet said to him that the female traveler and Taj be lady be lady jawar without anybody to neighbour her on her own she will come and she will come to Mecca and she will do tow off
not fearing anybody but Allah and I didna heard him say that I thought when the Prophet said this I was thinking to myself but where's where is that happening from all the massacre bloodshed and rioting that these people the the looting that these tribes are doing how could she come past all of this see even he is thinking of the danger yet he says wallahi in my old age I saw the the hyena a woman coming from that place to Makkah on her own not fearing nobody
except Allah but that much stability had come about in the region during that time and the prophecy of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam had manifested and these are the amazing kind of hadith that we see that people have turned a blind eye to and this is why certain scholars they have been like Abdullah Al Oh bacon who is a Salafi kind of Saudi scholar who said that are people crazy that are saying a woman can't travel on the wrong where are they from this hadith and people like chef
Ahmed are similar Medina Javed even Java dramedy as well but shipment of customer Hamid II from Saudi Arabia and even chef dado has a fat one woman traveling by aeroplane and things like this and this ruling has existed in in the methods and I'd like to quote to you from this is a commentary on the motto of Imam Malik by the legend from Muslim Spain Albert Walid al Burgi who's almost from a thousand years ago he passed away in for nine for Hillary
now there is a hadith the with the prop this comes speaking about the head jewel Murat and that a woman needs a guardian if she's gonna go on Hajj okay now check this out I will Walid al bhaji I will leave the bhaji he says okay the hadith of abu saeed anil hood rely on Allah Martin took me Nabila he will mill accident us a famous hero to you meanwhile Leila allama adama I mean mean had that this hadith of abu saeed that a
woman cannot go a day or night journey without Muharram he says this is not an obligatory journey this is generally and blah blah blah he gives this example and then he says well Karl Imam Abu Waleed Abu Lalit and this is a style by the way of the legacy of our scholars especially the Malik keys and other people they often used cuneus okay Abu I will relieve they always usually went with their kuhnian after but always goes with Abu Omar and hence you have Abu layth in front of you
people he says what would you say Lika Indy right so he's speaking about who you should go with and so Maas Allah well Allah had a lady that care about the house happy now he says this which some of our Lamar said that Oh a woman must go accompanied and stuff like this in in the man who off a Hal in my office re the muscle and not that about a woman must go on her own that he says this which some of our ulema have mentioned that traveling with if you're accompanied by the certain relatives that you didn't get on with for example he speaks about like they give the
example of robbery he says in a man who off a Holland in Fiat while added Elias here this is when we're speaking about a very small number of people traveling or if the woman is traveling on her own now listen to this for koala Phil Allah a demon this is almost a thousand years ago says as two large caravans what Oracle must Erica tell Amira Alma muna and as two great highways when many people go on these highways and they are safe he says for in high in the middle balada
Latia Kuna feel us work what to job these to me are like marketplaces where everybody is mixed for in mal M&E a saloon a dune the Muharram in wa lam raha a woman is safely without any guardian all without any female companion a woman can go to the marketplaces and he says and this is what Imam Musa he had also taught and that is from his and what is great as well you see the legend Imam Malik when he transmits this hadith in his
motto in his German where he speaking about a woman traveling with a Duma he begins he brings three a hadith in that verb and he begins it by the hadith that the Prophet said to men traveling or shaytan's or they like one is a Shaitaan two or two shaytans but three three of companions why was the Prophet and then Imam Malik wings the hadith let not a woman travel except with the Muharram now you tell me why is the prophet calling two people traveling Devils this was religious rhetoric two kind that was used in the
day and age to safeguard them because there was hostile territory okay so this is to kind of bring to our understanding people the that women can travel of course they can travel and I was reading a fatwa by some selfies they said Oh some people say that look they said that sheriff Mustafa's are are from sham in the past had given the fatwa woman can travel by aeroplane it's absolutely fine and she can be received on the other end and people like Sheldon do it said that as well and so somebody said no I was reading the criticism and
they said because really the safety that these people are saying is in airports is it really there and if the woman gets in danger like she's attacked really she needs the husband who can truly take care of these unlike the security staff at an airport I mean really the husband is probably thinking bloody hell okay
[Music] I've gotta take on everybody why I mean the security of a God's sake these trained security guards but but I've gotta be the sole warrior I mean this is the kind of thinking that these people are carrying that know if a woman was to come under attack unlike the security and a nipple the true safety can only be undertaken by the husband who who must it is I I am here step
back care real for God's sake what is wrong with people Wow Wow so this is so yes it is absolutely fine for a woman to travel on our own as and the key thing was all about safety okay and please stop circulating these rulings about forty eight miles it is really making a mockery of the Deen and people need to really open up and then then they ask me why do I think some of these colors in the UK you know are building caves not communities you know
to quote imam sahib web that look because why they doing that is because look you can't this is bizarre that you're asking women that they can travel 47 miles and not 48 it's absurd right so please please please people like a below legal Margie were ahead of you and they were a thousand years ago so Live Love Laugh and learn people right so that's some of the interesting things I'll tell you what should we take some rapid wanted questions and then let's call this a wrap people is call
this a wrap what say you quite a few things we've covered here any interesting questions and interesting questions what are we looking at what are we looking culture plays a big part it absolutely does dreams dreams in Jamila Khan what kind of Dreams are you having yes yes Mosul
is like our next question aloud stock market trading absolutely yeah I will you know what it was I'd better go get some of that tea absolutely please explain la al-hadith la al-hadith is talking it's it's it's talking about people miss guiding people okay people that were telling me follow Jesus the time that were more fascinating stories taking people away from toe heat and that's why the verse in the Quran said
la will hadith is not talking about music please watch my clip on YouTube that is already explaining music music is permissible Forex is allowed a chef elite our newest book on dreams all these books on dreams and things like this are just it's they have no validity no reality and it is nothing but superstition okay the way it's being presented I would tell people to really stay weary of these things do not build your Deen on folklore or on superstition people what does Islam say about surrogacy that is a complex question
I've answered that before right but I've answered that before saying I believe that there is some scope for surrogacy in Islam but I have answered that before are you Muslim hi s Ebola asking am i Muslim [Laughter] well according to someone clearly not so so who can interpret dreams then right okay most people ate chuckle eat enough
either Rahil has asked the question we don't generally do the pleading appear that I would say you can read through the books of Creed that's fine you can learn adopt issues if an issue doesn't settle well with you you you are not under obligation to just embrace it in by blindly following people you can research it you can read up counter positions things like that that is fine the RP that really that I would just advise Muslims that they need to believe in is what the Prophet taught us and that is that you believe in Allah you believe in his prophets you believe in revelation you believe in Allah being in
absolute control ultimately and you believe in an afterlife and that's it everything else fine everything else is it's good it's it's like Islamic information I say that in a very summarised sense they may be certain issues that I've left out here can Muslims be donors after death absolutely and that's hammer am i doing it doing it right yes they can absolutely and I've answered that previously can we have gifts to detect
the presence of jinn somebody's asked can we have gifts to detect the presence of genie like a Ghostbuster kit peep peep peep peep peep it's like there's like it's like is there a jigna and there's like a ginseng is there gym here is there jinniyah is it it's right there it's it's right there on the shoulder to be honest with you if I Jin did look like that I would be seriously disappointed
I'd be like come on come on imagine that turned up and said hey I'm a gym and you like behave and then you are possessed right so so D card game tournament all right let the Saudis have some fun man I'm actually kind of I'm kind of a take a liking to MBS Mohammed bin Salman all right
sometimes I feel like something there if I sell alaykum as-salaam what do you think of profits body's not decomposing in the graves it's a hadith is it true I don't know if it's true because we've never dug up or excavated the bodies of prophets and generally we don't know where any prophet is buried a truly objective is being except our prophet and so I don't know whether that was said it's possible that was said in a literal sense it's possible that was
said in a kind of virtuous kind of sense okay somebody asked me the question that in the Quranic mentions the only if ever morrow manaphy the day that somebody will run from his family members on the day of judgment and they're running and from their father as their brothers their sisters their wives the mothers everybody's abandoning each other is this literal this isn't in my understanding you can take it literally my understanding it's hyperbole it's kind of they just to create a picture like Allah then goes on to say like the
way D is like they're running like deers from a lion so it doesn't mean that this is literal it's trying to show you the intensity of the day that's what it is these things are not really in my understanding to be taken literally but people can take them literally I mean but in my understanding the afterlife when Allah is explaining it it's not about it's more about trying to get the message hence when Allah says or Yama you shuffle answer and suck that
the the kind of you know the shin the lower part of the leg is revealed and they are told to bow down and they cannot prostrate and this and this is why some of the people then said also this means Allah has a shock Allah has a kind of shin which is absurd in my according to me but this was a metaphor because the Arabs would use that as an example when things got really intense so when when when it was time for war that what people because they were all thoughts when they were going to charge into each other they would raise they were kind of lifts they
kind of thought by kind of clenching it from one side they would hold their spears and that would show one of their legs kind of Bey the lower part of the leg and that would be they would be ready for a charge position and when you saw that you knew that they were about to charge now so it was on and this is why they would say what kesha fat is supple Keshava tell her once akiha that the war revealed its Sheen its shin it's kind of lower leg and this meant that it was it was on that it was happening so that's the the idiomatic usage in the
Quran not quite somebody saying longi dance lungi dance not quite the longer dance but you know you be Ignasi I that's one way of looking at things all right take care people in sha allah shall we shall we what is the right so--okay somebody's asked about Saints I've answered that me my understanding of the he's right guys we're gonna call this a wrap that's enough insha'Allah for this week if you're tuning in for the first time like my page like both pages follow it click for notifications subscribe to my
