The Kintsugi Hypothesis: What is Sharia | Mufti Abu Layth

the system is simply a human system and I refer to this as the as the king Suki hypothesis now people are gonna say yeah here ya go na I'm a charity the kintsugi hypothesis people the king Suki remember that so what do I mean by the king Suki hypothesis right one the problem is I speak in too many in too

much terminologies yeah technical both oh yeah oh yeah this is the problem you know I get too technical so to understand the king Suki hypothesis is I need you to buy my book that's cool marketing people so the Sharia according to me is explained by the what it is what I call understood by

the king Suki hypothesis now this ladies and gentlemen charter see muchachas this is the ancient Japanese art I need you to put into this this is the art of where you salvage a broken dish or Bowl or glass or cup you salvage usually a piece of pottery I kind of utility that you

stell Veatch by dreaming it from the cracks but with a kind of precious lacquer so the kind of cracks that you put usually golden kind of lacquer is used to fix that that broken utensil whatever is and this in and of itself is an art it's an amazing art it stemmed from the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi I'm not making this up yeah

yeah when I say these things maybe you might think that is mostly just making this stuff up right besides spending all my time watching TV series I do occasionally read as well people so there is a an amazing Japanese philosophy called wabi-sabi not never be the not the wobbler avi me this is Robbie this one wabi-sabi this is true

by the way I'm not making this up so the philosophy of wabi-sabi it refers to seeing beauty in frailty in in decay in in broken kind of aspects of life why because these things are human all too human these are and can be beautiful from a perspective you see because the old Eurocentric way of seeing beauty is all about symmetry and it's about attempted perfection but the Japanese philosophy

of wabi-sabi hobli brothers Abu rabu savvy so in Lobby sabi they saw beauty in imperfections and that's an amazing philosophy in and of itself but from there you get this kentucky the art of kentucky of god are fixing with gold broken items now this

this is this King ciggy hypothesis is by what I explained the Sharia to be the Sharia in its essence in its s people is taking the broken the frail fragile hurt circumstances of human beings in their social environments and then mending them joining them fixing them with a

precious lacquer that kintsugi is how we understand this to be our so the Sharia is it is beautiful from that perspective that you have this kind of the this piece of art in front of you but it is in essence human broken problems that it is taking and fixing it is not something holy in the sense that its introducing a

whole new divine kind of alien ruled it's not it's taking a a broken human society using these solutions and providing them with with a response and with some parameters that's what the she is now you can understand why I said I explained it by the King ciggy hypothesis all right people you probably thought when I said that most he's about to do another is this a blank is this

from Allah that you know in my Malik province a belani that it has reached me humble allah in arabic means to reach so we imam malik present a hadith but he doesn't mention the chain and he just goes direct these are couple of the Belov's of imam malik the malahat so just in case you thought I was doing a blog obviously my with a different context today like some people they do belong at so this was not

a blog at and you could from that also say it's perhaps some of these people who do these blanks maybe they've misunderstood the hadith of the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam who said bernly who i mean that do blob on my behalf as in when representing my words but this didn't mean blank as some of these movies have started to black that's not what the hadith and that believe oh I knew that brag remember Allah so it's

understanding me misunderstanding what I know tire it happens at times you know this usually an understanding sometimes there's a misunderstanding right so what else is bothering the precious people of Facebook mohanty missing what's going on look man is saying be true to yourself video can you end this live with a similar motivational message oof we'll have to see you will have to see people you know sometimes you have to be in the right mood you have to be

in the right element and then the words they have to they have to come from the heart they'll say job article tear asunder in the words of Allah may well that the words that they kind of they they come from the heart they impact the heart burning he Takata parvez mcgarrick t the words may not have wings but they are capable of flight la la la right so what else is going on Mufti you

have a clip-on wearing gold and silk for men there is a narration where he holds with the Prophet holds gold and Omar and says this was there a fault I've explained all of that you see the interesting thing is the interesting thing is you've watched my clip yet not

watched my tea yeah o dó Kota you know the Buddhist concept dukkha this do Chi in this world ah this is just sorrows and that's what I get it flicked it by when I hear these things that you watch my clips but yet you don't watch them it's Dhaka people dukkha you need to rewatch my clips otra vez otra vez so this on Messi otra vez time and time

again people so in there I actually explained my understanding of the hadith yes the prophet salallahu alaihe salam if he said that what he was trying to refer to the this was simply an encouragement to stay away from culture that was quite alien to the Arabs you have to understand that you see you can't see the mistake people make today is they want to think about Islam they want to think about the lifetime of the Prophet about the Companions they want to think about these things right I'm

live again there's a subtle connectivity issue I was actually I was actually worried that they may have been an issue I was on the phone today for hours got that almost two hours I to the internet provider virgin a nightmare they duped me into switching broadband providers and now they've been playing up and they've impossible to get hold up so and they I've been assured that hopefully things will be fixed tomorrow so it was in two minds about

postponing today's session but I thought chuckle and a la la let's do it so hopefully you'll be okay right must be some native I don't see it as disrespect I don't know what that's talking about no law said no law say I don't know I don't know people Vlad the real Anthony what are some questions yes so my the thing I was trying to explain is you have to understand the background of where the prophet salaallah alayhi wa sallam was speaking from okay and I would really advise anybody who's

serious about Islam you see Muslims are of two kinds people since I'm giving you terminologies I'll give you a few more Muslims in my book are in my book are of two kinds this Muslim with a capital M and Muslim with a regular la-la-la people I'm taking you into the mind of a mufti here so bear with me bear with me you see all Muslims and some may be

people who ain't even properly Muslim anymore but were from a Muslim background are Muslim with a regular M that simply means you are Muslim from cultural identity Rhian ethnicity perspective if Islam is a kind of ethnicity if I can extend it to include that to mean that that that sense the 1.8 billion Muslims with a regular M or Muslim like that in the world

meaning that they identify kind of like ethnically as a Muslim so meaning they they they see diet food maybe some kind of cultural clothing things like that and they may be concerned now from this category of people you may get people who are concerned about Islam but really Islam for them is nothing more than an ethnicity so they they may fight for the rights of Islam but to them fighting for the rights of Muslim is akin to fighting for racial rights and I'm not missing this I think that's good fine people

should do that but that's all it really is for them so for example they could be fighting for racial rights but they happen to be fighting for right that help you identify as a Muslim now then there's Muslims with a capital M who actually are interested whatever in whatever that may mean but are interested in the message of Islam that what was Islam about to them this is a deeper message it's not just an ethnicity

it's not just a tribalism a sense of belonging it's a journey to the unknown maybe it's it's a it's a discovery it's a reconnecting with God to these people they will they are on a a path of inquiry that they will be seeking things they will be trying to learn things they

will be asking questions about their lives sometimes from other people sometimes as a soliloquy okay they will be asking themselves asking questions out aloud that what is this why am I here wide does God want this so these people to them Islam is it's it's it's a much deeper connection even though ironically to some of them the parent connection

may not like the ethnic connection may be important or it may not be important so if it's not that important then it may seem quite weird to some people because they think well how come listen is a dress like that or this woman doesn't dress in this particular way or she doesn't wear a head covering she doesn't do this or but yet the inner connection is so much more profound okay and they are the Muslims who I would refer to as Muslims with a capital

because they are truly interested in a kind of message which is what Islam actually was about well by extension Islam was about the other thing as well I mean it was about a sense of belonging I'm not to deny that but I think that's a secondary purpose and hence a core but the primary purpose is a difficult one so
