Prison & Piety | Mufti Abu Layth

yeah for everyone everybody gets kind of somebody said what did you ah right prison ah doing it but yeah i mean i've got a whole video explaining i mean it's it's nothing people would say it's for basically uh corrupting corrupting a police officer normally i'm i'm done for corrupting the ummah but but anyway i didn't corrupt him but yeah i still until today maintain my innocence but it was a wonderful i'd like to actually say on that note you know my prison experience it actually i don't just mean in the showers i mean the the the prison experience

actually gave me such invaluable insight on life that i'm weirdly very grateful for it uh so it's actually and i've got a whole video where i explained that i don't think it would take too much to go back if you if you i mean i've taken my experience but it was you know it's i'm just saying it's a very interesting but you know that there seems to be it's a very common occurrence for i don't want to beg your ego for that many many assad many a righteous man has to go through prison on his journey towards why not um why not but i was just i just remembered that whilst we were talking

about we're like a genuine criminal right who that's it dedicated to the profession but uh but yeah and and to be and just to say as well look i've never claimed to be a pious person and in fact i make it very clear that i'm not a pious person if you're coming looking for piety you're coming to the wrong person hell no i say to people if you're looking for somebody to make you very pious and spiritual and stuff like this you've come to the wrong place you know i'm i'm just somebody who fell in love with the legacy of islam and i studied it and i continue to study and just teach what i've learned

so that that's that's my journey it's not to you know you're not going to catch me praying nothing i wish you would but that would be a lie yeah so but i just remembered that point because somebody had said that and i thought oh yeah that's funny and you know there's a there's a poem in urdu it reminds me of it says

from such people who call me uh like look at that misfit you know somebody who's whatever lost or whatever they say these people who themselves keep a separate address and live in a different address like meaning that is the duplicity of these people's lifestyles to be honest in
