0:53

Nishida right on life ah handily live aquifer what's a lot was Salama a lot of surreal mustafa a buddy live in october oh man be who da Matta da da well bad for Salam Allahu Allah oh I know asylum become oh my heaven running lights bienvenidos ah hey Rolly and beer of course people

1:31

swagatam swagatam so what's going on people what is going on yes and lamb let me just take a look at some notes I've made write anything interesting of course there's interesting things people Islamic degree from us have no idea what that's talking about Mars ha in the house no bomb is in the house not Ibrahim enough learn from the classic

2:06

martyrs illa but uh right Mooji Mooji all right cheap is that the Mooji from Medina University were cheap so what's coming on people tonight how's my day hey you know I in some ways I envy people who have a routine I for some reason have never been able to have a routine in life I just especially more

2:45

so in recent years I don't know and people have a routine with everything and I don't then I think maybe fear if I had a routine it would just be so monotonous and boring but nevertheless a waste all right shake ways from Lester people in the house all right exposed I met up with Cheryl ways from Lester this just this weekend gone awesome awesome dialogue and chart and good and an

3:25

introduction amazing to see some of the just some of the people from Lester the way of thinking and and it breaks stereotypes and it builds bridges because sometimes there's a stereotype that all these kind of mattresses and especially I know Lester sometimes has a reputation for the data looms and and you can get this understanding that maybe they're all kind of close-minded and stuff like that and but share who is his father runs one of the Institute's

4:04

they so mulana Ilyas unless I'm mixing the name of never want to attribute you just to somebody else but and an amazing open-minded figure so may Allah bless the Muslims with many more open-minded people right Farley Francisco Deborah Alma silent as normal silent people tonight we will be taking a look at my maybe not so wise words on the wise

4:42

words of Chef Yasir Qadhi we're not worthy we're not worthy so we'll be taking a look at that just in a in a moment or so we'll get to that so yes of all the aterna a khutba and it was i don't know if it was forwarded to me by several people i don't know if it was entirely oh by the way people can allah yes look at that people look at that that's a and and you want to get hold of [Laughter]

5:21

right so yes how this lecture was forwarded to me by people who are under the impression it was dedicated to me I'm not sure if the entirety of it was but I am certain a great quantity of that hotma was definitely aimed at me just by the content alone so I will be taking a look at that it was kind of a warning against deviation and heresies and these heretics and these people with their radically radically new ideas and

5:56

stuff like that so I did want to go over some of that but yeah so before o almost open my own open my own live show and let me see I was gonna bring up some questions take a look at a few questions and before we get to that if this damn thing moves along right so there is look at that quite a few questions before we get into any of that

6:35

somebody said is this true is this true is what true it depends on your definition of true also arguably depends on you it depends on your definition of is so right now what's been happening with these five people everybody speaking about this right Connor I'm hobby now so I have to kind of drop my two pins not that it's worth anything but what the hell

7:13

you see I don't actually watch sports believe it or not I just can't find sports fascinating I mean I love going to the gym but I don't find watching sports to be fascinating in any way so I can't understand football like honest I mean I don't I understand as in the rules of the game I'm not like I can't understand that but I don't find the fascination in Orrin creaky or in any of these sports I mean in movies of course in TV series of course I can

7:52

I need stories I need narratives I need it's not you know people are running around after but oh UFC MMA right so I don't watch that either but still this match between habiba and Conor McGregor and this whole the hype around it what are my thoughts on it well I think I've watched the highlights I don't watch the whole thing I saw the highlights and the often aftermath so well I think look there's a few things I'd like to say well first of

8:31

all I'm sure in their own right that they are excellent kind of sportsmen and they are you know at the top of their game happy from what I'm aware bloody hell I saw some videos of this guy and they were like as a kid his dad would make him wrestle with like with with beers obviously I mean they were young bass but he'd make the make him wrestle with beers it kind of made me watching that think ah well maybe my childhood

9:09

wasn't as bad as I thought all of a sudden they put things into perspective that I thought hmm so so all the torture we went through I guess that was just that was that seems quite pleasant in how thinking about it so but anyway he he won this this March and and I think well you know Fairplay is very good that he won I mean he I'm sure he deserves it you understand and and Conor I think the whole thing is in my quick assessment of Connor this Connor

9:48

is that he is he's actually think he's quite intelligent in what he does because he creates a kind of hype about things and and that's what really sports or whatever is entertainment is all about so he's in that sense he's like I'm assuming a marketing genius so he kind of creates this hype and all these kind of pre-match cusses and insults and all these kind of stuffs to hype up the whole fight and andy any

10:24

lost oh well you can't win a war like this but my point is that habib won and I think that's that's good for him and then there was an after math thing where he jumps over the cage and and you got that picture of Drake's face going like as you can see him coming over the the kind of ring but and I suppose I don't know I'm not into sports but I suppose as a professional sportsman he ought to have self-control because that's what

11:04

distinguishes sportsmen from this regular people is that they don't they can distinguish between their emotions and they can fight with tactics and they can have a high level of self-control so we kind of showed that he didn't have that self-control and I think that was I don't think that's good for any sportsmen to kind of lose control so that's my two pence on that whatever it happened and but I want to say something I mean so fair play I think it's good that he won whoever you know he's obviously the better kind of fighter out

11:42

of them but for some reason on social media I mean and I can appreciate the fact that he's a Muslim and as a Muslim other Muslims may want to think he'll yeah you know we've got a Muslim okay fair enough there's no there's no harm in things like that and I think that's all all good you know you may identify may resonate with you and I know I did see his interviews where he was kind of like Al hamdulillah and inshallah and I know you don't like these but in shot lon

12:17

and I think he was saying that as a kind of in your face because Conor was kind of winding him up a lot so fine you know whatever I mean he did what he had to do and but what I don't seem to this is what I want to get to on social media Muslims some Muslims seem to be behaving as though that was the Armageddon that this was the end of times that this he

12:56

represented Islam versus kufur al Haq versus al bottle I saw some posts on social media saying a big one because Allah was with him Allah will never allow defeat I saw another post I mean for God's sake I saw some of I think his what I had here I'm going to be doing a talk about following up from this and showing how allowing always make Muslims

13:33

overcome and defeat Cooper and falsehood and and and then I saw this other post where there was a picture of I think it was of chef Charlotte Davis tanning or somebody and it's saying and it was saying that Habib's great-grandfather was one of the deputies in the Army is off and they were the resistance against Cooper and

14:10

oppression and now they're up spring a beep rises against I'm like oh come now make come down for God's sake just calm yourselves down it's only it's it's only a fight it's only a March it's only a it's only a sport that's what it this is not about Islam versus falsehood and you know for God's sake tone it down a little this is this is the problem isn't

14:47

it with Muslims with some Muslims you can't take them anyway they just become an embarrassment the angels are coming to help come Eva it's like no mate no no that's what that's definitely not happening it's called MMA it doesn't stand for maleic at first M for angels right so

15:24

nevertheless right so that's my two pence on this fight I think look the fight as far as a fight is concerned if you're into that thing fine I think that's good you know I give credit and respect to Habib I'm sure he was a greater fighter than Conor and I think that's good but and and you know we can have our comments and criticism on the after match but this is in no way representative of Islam versus falsehood and haka versus bottle and the Armageddon and the armies of the Mahdi

16:03

and it was may almost made out that this Habib was the Madi right so right now malaika muhammad al kübra right okay so right now what did he actually say against Islam by the way other than the backwards thing I'm not sure look I think look just chill out it doesn't make I don't know I didn't

16:42

listen to the whole thing I heard certain things that he was provoking this Habib character this this fighter about things like you being from Russia and you know sucking up to Putin and and things like this and then his religion as being backwards or whatever but then let's be honest to non-muslims Islam is seen as being backwards I'm just being honest like if that is the case to a lot of people they just won't say in open but that is what people feel that they do feel that the way especially the way

17:20

religion is presented they do feel it's backwards and then I think with him he's not a Muslim so he doesn't feel he has to respect Islam and and then it's all about the PR and all about the hype and if you create the hype obviously he brings in money he brings in entertainment people and it's that's what it's all about entertainment entertainment entertainment right so what else is going on man let's take some of these questions but that's wrong to say on TV

17:59

sure but who cares people say anything you know what I mean get with the program people we need to Muslims need to have thicker skin as well we need to stop being victims on everything oh my good somebody cooked Islam oh my gudd oh my gudd or cool take it I can take it grow up take it don't worry about it tell ty boss jumped by it's alright man like look they're not Muslim sure you're not meant to say that but he's logging hardly an emblem or an ambassador of diplomacy for God's

18:37

sake the guy is an MMA fighter who's got a foul mouth everybody knows that so you know just and I'm all famous hubby you know he gave him his fade you so I think look rest of it it's all fun and games it's all fun and games right so what else is going on what else is going on yeah I like to be to be fear I think that happy it's it's interesting how these you know these people from like Dallas town and they kind of it's okay I

19:16

will show you I don't understand the question I was listening to his interview afterwards he said I don't know why you're still talking about this you know why are you still talking about this he he smashed the bus and and he do this he almost killed two people and now why you people still talking about this that I jump out of the cage cage it's like because it only happened ten minutes ago

19:49

that's why they still do it I don't think this was still talking about this because it's you just did that right now [Laughter] anyway but I think he definitely deserves his money they shouldn't be holding his money give him his money let him go home let him chill out right let's take some questions people what's going down what's going down what's your opinion when it comes to the bus maligns eliza makrooh to read right so the basmalah in salah do we say look at that

20:27

going straight in for an islamic whoa into salah allah right so there's a lot of question people do we say bismillah in salah I always remember always picture those days as uh you know as a teenager when I first came across some of the Salafis praying in the Masjid they still do it

21:04

like a proper in like a katha so right so the basmala in salah you see there's a difference of opinion amongst people the school of medina and the practice of the people of medina is that there is no bus mela in salah so you don't begin you just begin your salah by saying Allahu Akbar al hamdulillah he replied I mean that's how the Prophet did it that's how the people of Medina did it that's how I do it that's how many Muslims do that other Muslims which is fine as well that

21:44

they take the opinion like let's say imam abu hanifa that the opinion that it's recommended to say bismillah ar-rahman rahim because they begin with something else as soon as they do the tech we've they say a kind of Torah subhanak a lot more behind it what I think that one well I'm not sure which one they there's a few that they can pray but I think that's the one they generally pray then after that they say house will be loud and bismillah because they are about to recite the Quran the shell for a massive feel that it's an obligation to recite bismillah because bismillah is a part of

22:23

the Quran it is a part of fatiha which is you know honestly that's just they just wrong I hate to break it to them but they are wrong it's not a part of the Quran but although it's it's fine if you want to read it you can so to them you have to read it otherwise because you've missed out a verse of surah fatiha but to the school of Medina and the practice of the Prophet is know that you just begin and just sell hamdulillah he don't belong I mean I suppose one could argue how you say that was the practice of the

23:00

Prophet well the Prophet never ever read aloud bismillah r-rahman r-rahim the people around him were never aware that he used to read anything before Fatiha so and the practice inherited in Medina the living tradition just said allahu akbar al hamdulillah he rabbul aalameen and that's what man that's you can do that if you want to recite it you can write so next question people what's another question is your beard from the

23:37

Sunnah itself from the Sunnah is it from the Sunnah it might be it from listener what does that even mean like hadith are following the majority we're going to come to that we're going to come to that yes if Adi is a nut job oh I'm just reading this I didn't even know I had not that is not premeditated so sure he has a body in case you're watching this which I hope you are because I have a whole section dedicated

24:16

to you Mary John in a short while so but this is a question which this is a comment on my thing sure he doesn't say yes he says just yes oh god he's a nut job and a dangerous nut job at that he says Muslim women shouldn't work and I have even heard him say that a woman can not refuse to have sex with her husband that's why Elizabeth somebody has said right so ok right i i've not personally heard him say these things although I'm not too surprised and I'll get to that a

24:55

little later on as I dedicate myself to the share before the body saab we're not worthy can you talk about the heavy fight well I've done that already and as doc Imran said Habib one there you go clearly did it swiping over cotton socks permissible for voodoo well I've on said that look traditionally speaking people didn't allow this kind of stuff but I feel that in this day and age a lot of the olam sorry some scholars in the past did they

25:34

did allow me as a minority position and more scholars have adopted it in our current time and I feel if that creates ease for people then why not they can do that well the and us are made salary to protect Muslim mates Sri Sri hello Siri Siri in Arabic comes from the word like to read silently inaudible to protect Muslims from being tortured before the Hegira our circumstances have now changed is their scope to make the her an icer audible salah hmm and then tuck teeth has already answered that by

26:14

saying they would have been made audible after hijra which is the response free you see these things about how salah is designed comes to us from the Prophet I'm sure there is unquestionably wisdom in that even if we don't fully comprehend some of the matters sometimes we just see them as rituals that may have been one of the reasons during syriza that during the day daylight hours no yeah but during the daytime the prayers are read

26:52

inaudibly silently was it to kind of not draw attention to yourselves that could have been but we don't truly know that to be the cause so we can't attribute that we could just speculate and say perhaps that was can anybody share with me the link of his life video it's my first time a la loli toe loli toes first time well bienvenidos a Lolita right I hope you managed to find your way to this link mostly what are the criteria for something needed to be updated for our day and age for example could someone

27:32

say pork is acceptable in UK where health risks are minimal right Zac Mustafa why was pork Haram hmm you see that's an interesting question we can speculate why pork was Haram I do feel that it most certainly was to do with the health risks that were associated with pork they still are several kind of health risks associated with pork although perhaps in many parts

28:11

in certain parts of the world less so than in the past but they still are they it's not because people say oh because the animal kind of because the pig kind of rolls around in mud and stuff like that that's not the reason and some people said oh because that the pig is homosexual some Muslims just kill it you gotta love it when it comes to them trying to figure out something aha but why why Abdul like this one

28:47

Haram because because he's gay he's gay in the pig is gay oh I never thought of that one he's gaining that's what making Haram [Music] [Laughter] well to their surprise many animals countless animals are actually bisexual so they do commit or partake in homosexuality right across the spectrum so that's

29:27

not the reason the reason most likely was disease and pork if it's raw so raw meat in pork can be responsible for several kind of poisoning food poisoning and things like this any curry sit and bacteria and things like this that can be deadly on certain occasions so I do think that was one of the major reasons in my understanding then it was just made Haram this from that point forth

30:07

now the question was why I mean there's several reasons to be beyond why beyond the health reason there are several rituals as well one could be seats it's interesting because you go into what is would be termed the psychology of religion and religion by its very nature grows people together or attempts to draw at least a certain number of people together now it creates for them certain

30:43

identity issues which become a sense of belonging which by the way Muslims have over the centuries recreated which Islam actually created so many but but Muslims try to recreate them think they'll do a better job of it then God Himself so nowadays Muslims think our identity issues are our clothes and for the woman that hijab and stuff like this and for the man the beard and the hat and this was never the identity that Islam created for for Muslims however what it did do is it created two key identities

31:20

one was the prayer that was a religious kind of ritual and then it created a kind of social identity which was the food they eat a kind of social sense of belonging that wherever you were you wherever you were you had this kind of [Music] this this this this factor that resonated with other Muslims and dietary kind of factors so things like pork the prohibition of pork and the slaughtering of animals so

31:59

this was so it served a an angle of of religious identity as well which is incredibly important for boosting a religion and for boosting a faith now I know it doesn't sound so important like this but that's because you're not zooming out and seeing religion from an anthropological perspective and how religions can actually take root and prosper through our human civilization

32:37

they need certain factors of identity so that in my understanding one of the one of the reasons why dietary regulations are important as well I mean they have this obviously the immensely important part the health factor but then the there is an identity element because there is there's so much substitute meat that people can still resort to whether it's going to be beef or chicken or lamb according to the school of Medina you can eat almost anything you know I mean

33:17

you can predatory animals you can eat tigers and lions and I mean not that you I'm saying you would but you could so they're not actually Haram according to the scholars of Medina after the time of the Prophet and including Imam Malik so so I mean that's just to give my my understanding that there is a greater you can't really although we don't appreciate it but these factors are very significant for communities to thrive and survive and for civilizations and

33:55

identity to be created is Islam not all about the disillusion of the ego I don't think so I don't think so I think Islam was not about the dissolution of the ego or to kind of I think that's definitely a part of Islam is to kind of remind you of your to remain humble in a way so there are reminders within Islam definitely that do are aimed towards that but that's not I don't know I don't feel

34:32

that's the greater understanding or the greater objective of Islam just to simply be humble I think the greater was to reconnect people with God that was the the greatest objective of Islam it was not about being humble or about kind of not having arrogance although these are obviously important factors I'm not saying that people should be arrogant I'm not saying they should indulge in the ego I'm not saying that so don't misconstrue or misunderstand me what I'm

35:11

saying is that's not what it was about although these factors are important lessons too so I think it was about the about reconnecting with God so yeah right so what else are we looking at what else what are some questions people what are some questions let me deal with why is it that only being sick attracts what attracts Rosa from hustle while tight schedule short long British nights

35:45

family well-being doesn't I must just not be sober enough to understand a word let me try that again let me try be a bit sober how is it people act when this over why is it that only being sick attracts rocks are from Wilson right so okay so if you're ill you don't need to do who sell the person is saying while

36:20

tight while tight schedule oh right okay family well-being - well our shed walls because I thought he said walls tight short long British nights what's going on in those nights that that is warranting for you to be in whistle poor brother I'll shed we need to give him a solution because the winter nights are

36:59

upon us people and the brother is struggling for he is arising each morning in a state that requires and old the struggle is real people the struggle is real that shower but so can you do TM um well you look Tim home is an option I'm Tim moon does allow for tighter schedules because I was thinking tighter what what on earth is your tighter

37:37

schedule right so he's meaning that he's presumably he's running late for stuff running late 1990 I'm late at work again my ties over there well boss why are you late today well boss it's those long winter British nights what can I say so so that the question is that there are you can do to your mum if you're running late by the way like so the male Kia the

38:15

Scheffer yeah they all say that if time is running out for Salah you don't need to do versa you can just do the Emam until moon can be adopted for other reasons too I believe that you can expand into TM mum for other reasons so there is there is this this hope just hang on don't give up don't give you can do it hang in there hang in there there is hope you can do to your mom right so let's what else have we got here why is shower in the middle of the

38:53

another question on shower yes Alan this brother really is he's distressed admin reach out to this brother yaar send him a picture of a shower both Allah categorically state that the that he misguides many via the Quran if yes how can this be explained right so the verse of the Quran that way you will

39:30

love la who mania sure there are la miss guides whom He wills you see this a lot of states in the same verse one in general and one about the Quran as well that Allah has sent this for on yeah DB min you sure well you didn't look at him any shared Allah guides by whom He wills and he misguides by whom He willed what this verse is simply talking about it's not saying that I've sent this Quran that if you ready some people will be misguided and God is misguiding them the first in its entirety means that are

40:09

lies ultimately in control that's all it's trying to say that you understand it's not trying to say that that Allah is using this to misguide people but what it what the overall verse is saying that this message this message this Quran has this Quran has come from Allah that and he will guide by whom He wills and yes people will and people will look at it they will read it they will ponder over its message and they will feel a closeness April symmetry and there will be other people

40:48

they will market ridiculing and things like this and ultimately Allah will allow them to do that and they by allowing them to to be misguided with their arrogance and stubbornness in refusing to accept the message but this really only applies to those people who truly know that to be the truth okay it's not about God misguiding people God is not misguiding people but that's like God saying that ultimately he's in control that he has allowed them to do

41:26

that so one could say he has done it in a way loosely through literal usage you could use you could say that but it's not it's not that God is doing it but he's enabling them to have the free will to be misguided somebody saying can you dad there you go dabbe done is boxing allowed as a means of living yes I feel boxing somebody had asked me before look

41:59

is all these sports like MMA or boxing or any of these things allowed in Islam because you punch or you hit the other person in the face and the hadith says you're not allowed to hit in the face so I said yeah but that's talking about look you're not allowed to hit generally and where people had systems of corporal punishment they allowed it like in certain parts of the world in the past they would discipline like let's say

42:37

students by caning them now discipline in certain cultures was seen like to be okay like corporal punishment in those cases you would not hit the face as people I mean they do but generally in those places they avoid hitting the face now I'm not saying I agree I don't agree with corporal punishment but that's what the context was speaking about it's not speaking about in general and it's not speaking about sports because in sports you willfully knowingly get into that sport knowing that look this is what's

43:16

happening and it's a sport it's not something you know so that's permissible and the sahaba and the profit and the people after the profit and all of them used to do things like they would practice they would do things like spar four four four wars and battles they would practice they would do sword fighting they would do wrestling amongst themselves they would do training now how do you train without hitting each other and if you're gonna say well okay we're gonna train but don't hit me on my don't strike the obviously that when they train they would have like wooden

43:55

swords and stuff like this but and I'm sure when they got better at it they had actual swords but they you wouldn't say things like oh you're allowed to just fall but you can't hit me a book by my neck upwards but then when you go to battle that's what everybody's striking but you weren't trained to block that [Music]

44:24

guy's like he's like okay I will show you how to dismantle a knife and he's like stab me it's like no with the other hand it's like and the other guy's just going right what are your views on interest well I've done a whole video detailed on rebar and interest and loans and I've said these things are permissible because they don't mean that what the Koran was speaking about and how the entire transaction of the world has changed so I've got a video on that

45:03

and you can watch that Omar Ali don't hit me in there exactly I mean you couldn't say that in train if they were because think about it they were training for real because they were gonna have to go into battle and be struck on the head potentially on so many occasions so they had to train to block that otherwise that's a bit useless one guy is nuts the view on cryptocurrency cryptocurrency is permissible and arguably in some ways it

45:41

may be I mean it definitely is part of the future that we are more increasingly moving towards it's interesting it really is interesting this whole blockchain technology and how it works and I'm trying to learn about a lot of these they say chips a jug he spelled his name Sajjad SJ double ad chefs a judge hussein who's related to me as well he's from Birmingham and he's quite an expert on crypto currencies and he's I mean

46:20

that is his area of expertise in life and and he's been involved in that for many years as well as well as being a chef so he's somebody you could possibly reach out to the question is how do you reach out to him no idea because for some reason he refuses to come on social media I don't know why he's an awesome chef who I think people could benefit from so much he so down to earth so chilled out but I don't know how I think

46:49

he reach out to the Institute called I don't want to all right after I left to maybe somebody can put her up here if they know is it called is it sacred texts or is it sacred I don't want to say that's not I'm not very useful there I'm I mean I just reach out to my phone but I can't share that with you guys so but you can find him on social media right so if not all

47:27

was a hobby not just a historian of course even a whole dune right okay it is sacred texts with an S so if you google that it should come up and that's if you reach out to that Institute he should allow you to make contact with him right so if Nahal dune was a he was a body he was a scholar of Islam he was a maliki of the Maliki method a legendary scholar and he was very critical and his way of thinking was way ahead of his time one of the one of the

48:05

scholars who also questioned this whole Mahdi Messiah concept and said that there wasn't there was no hadith that was valid on there being a messiah on the Mahdi and he brings 27 hadith in his book and he shows the problems with all of them and he mentions how this was part of the shia believes that crept into sunni islam oh thank you somebody just shared the link to sacred texts so you can reach out there if social media of fitna I don't believe social media is necessarily a fitna it is part of our

48:44

age so whether we like it or we don't like it it is here to stay so you can either make use of it or personally I think people just ought to be on social media the question is responsibly of course but then somebody could say where's the fun in being responsible right delete that last sentence that I just said I'd mean edit that out right was Imam Ali

49:22

Casillas person he was more so more so I mean there was some occasions of cracking jokes and things like this but I think from personality like if I look at my my own personality from the temperament side of humor and and taking things lightly and always seeing the funny side to things in my Malek definitely wasn't like that as a person he was very kind of almost more more so a very somber kind of serious and or striking kind of person

50:01

imam abu hanifa however was perhaps more so like these i would feel in many ways that are like how not not necessarily like me like in my humor but more or soul more so like that he would crack a lot of jokes imam abu hanifa would be sarcastic with people more often than not he would he would kind of almost really kill people stupid questions he would do things like that he was very kind of thinking out the box very creative for his day and age coming up with new things that people weren't so

50:40

he was very much although his mother is nothing like that his mother is like this the antithesis of him but he was like that in that perspective Imam Ilyich however was definitely the way you know the thing I speak about about wealthy and everything being relevant for the age and rulings changing and my Malik was very much like that though so he was all of these teachings are kind of stemming from his teachings but he but just in personality he wasn't somebody that cracked a lot of jokes right so let's take another few

51:19

questions I know this share here so far the thing is waiting I got a address what are your thoughts on the Athene Institute's latest publications of the age of Ayesha right I haven't been through the publication I've seen snippets of it from my understanding I think they are now more in line with what I've been saying that I sure was not

51:55

snippets of some of their articles so if that is what they have arrived at then I congratulate them chello you know they're either rusty you know they they took their time but alhamdulillah at least they arrived that's the main thing now we just gotta wait for the rest of the rest of this Ummah to catch up why do you say why do they say that there is no PS on a Rosa that is something people say although I don't know how true and accurate that is but people generally say that there's no

52:33

chaos upon a Rosa that could be the case although even ROP has highlighted in other people that when it comes to the issue of for example how much impurities one can have on the body whilst continuously praying they all seem to do chaos upon I know for those of you that are gonna be a bit put off by this they put do chaos they do analogy upon after having been gone after after having gone to the Twitter so that is a Rosa so they do chaos upon a Rosa knowledge upon a

53:11

rocks are they by contradicting their own principle see oh I bet you never thought I'd think of that one so so I do know certain things after all mm-hmm what is going on Richard Dawkins said there is a high chance an advanced form of life came to earth millions of years ago and planted the very first self-replicating gene what's your thought on this has he lost the plot right I'm not so

53:51

sure that I'm not so sure that Richard Dawkins has said that I think what Richard Dawkins has said and many other people many other kind of cosmologists or scientists is they've said that they fear using fear loosely here that life on Earth may have come to earth from outer space like for example on an asteroid or something that it came here just like tiny specks we're

54:30

speaking about just single-cell you know you Cory you you know whether it actually even maybe something that led on to the prokaryotes and eukaryotes and things like this but just the singular the inception of life the single cell in itself was it something that was brought to life I've was brought to Earth from outer space so that's just as for example the water on earth that's

55:06

accumulated ultimately from outer space and things like this so that's one of the theories that it is likely it may have been I mean it doesn't you know if Allah if that's how Allah had willed it that it may have been I mean that's I don't think that's so bizarre I think that's possible right so right people let's go on what about Lambada sahib lambada sahib has disappeared I don't hear at all about not from Lambada

55:42

not from Mufti Zaman I don't hear from any of these people anymore not from our good old friend my name is Anthony Gonzalez yeah Cyril Hanafy we don't hear from them anymore I don't know what's happened to them yes Ana Italy very okay now they is it okay to have a beard like you in Islam of course it is

56:22

Oh cities and you can watch my video clip on the beard and the ruling of the beard in Islam it is on YouTube or I discuss all the details views on non-duality what do you mean by that non-duality what are we talking about dualism in what sense Imam Malik's comment regarding ISTE what no I feel that people have misconstrued what Imam Malik said all he was simply doing is saying that don't talk about these things all right what were they arguing about this one if a sisters

57:00

worry is abusive how does she proceeded to get married if a sisters woolie what does that mean also her the person that's going to marry in a Roth is abusive well the you see I don't believe a wali is necessary okay there isn't a single hadith that is categorically sahi that a woman requires a wali to get married and that is the teaching of Imam Abu Hanifah that is also according to some understandings the teaching of Imam

57:38

Malik that is what I go by that there is nothing so he to do with they must be a wali and this was simply a condition of perfection it's what even a rush says this is a short or short to Kemal not short to say her not a condition of validity right the line of do bones never laughed so much the line of the ovens I know who was the line oh yes sir I'm Tony Gonzalez he just gave so many

58:15

dads a heart attack right now no I don't think look you know this wali thing about getting married holy is not somebody actually seriously calling me what the hell is right so this thing about wall-e having you see do you need a woolly to get married I don't believe you do that said let me add to that because somebody's that's a useful point look you've given people a heart attack

58:54

I don't intend to give them a heart attack that's not my objective but we need to kind of ease up we need to reach older everybody needs to be a bit more responsible I think the parents too there have been several occasions where it's only about you see it's very obvious that it's simply about you know caste and you must marry one of our relatives Yeah right like the

59:32

intelligent DNA is locked in the in that gene pool is just like a gene pool of inbreds [Laughter] right so this so this thing that you must marry a relative or you must marry this a lot of this still goes on here in the UK anyway and I think that nonsensical and people stop relationships from occurring just based on that sometimes based on race sometimes it's based on other things so I think that element is there at on the other on the other hand or the flip side

1:00:11

is that I think girls too and guys but perhaps more so sometimes to guild I don't know if that's coming across sexist but I think they do need to be sensible as well and kind of see sometimes they are being misled and they are being kind of you know just so you'll see cases where somebody will for example and these are cases I've actually heard of that for example a person

1:00:48

insist that I want to marry this guy the family are concerned because the guy is not even doesn't even have a visa to live in this country he's just here as a let's say a student now they're pretty certain he's only doing this to get a visa and to get a passport now the girl you see what I'm trying to say is we gotta be sometimes real in this world okay that probably I don't know intentions but most likely that may be pretty much the case that may be right that sounds pretty much how the world

1:01:26

works now I'm not saying that that hat means that has to be wrong and just because somebody wants a visa they have to be a bad person I'm not saying that but what I am saying is as long as any relationship you any relationship that you embark on do so willfully but also with with insight that as long as you know that then you take the risks yourself in a with knowledge you are conscientious of the risks that you are

1:02:03

taking like if you know that risk like you think look yeah look I accept this person is here the world does work as based on opportunism every you know almost everybody is an opportunist to some extent now that's no different one could argue that look you only like people only likes they could say well well you know this man for example only wants to marry that woman just because she happens to be so beautiful if she wasn't so beautiful you think he would be marrying her and that is true in most cases I'm sure that that so everybody is in it for themselves for something I

1:02:43

that's there's no denying that but as long as people are aware now so in this kind of a case that let's say the guy is only here as a you know student is on some student visa his visa is about to expire and he tells this girl oh my god I'm so madly in love with you this so conveniently in love with you just as my visa is about to expire my love has intensified so now he says look I wanna I want to marry you I

1:03:23

want to stay here with you so her family are rightly concerned I mean I would be concerned if somebody that was related to me or somebody I knew let's say dearly that was in such a situation where they say now I found the love of my life who has one week left on his visa I would say oh how are the convenient now look because we know how the world works everybody knows how the world works to some extent so okay now if the girl really wants to do something like that

1:04:00

wants to take that risk I mean you can understand why the parents would be against it you can understand that but if she still wants to I would say she has the free will I'm free choice to do so but she should do so knowing the risks so let's say he does disappear one year down the line once he's got his visa at least she did took that risk knowing the risk like she said well okay I you know there was a chance there was a risk that that might happen and it did

1:04:37

so as opposed to her being just so immersed in let's say in just this lovey dovey kind of bubble and everything with Bollywood songs just playing and everything in slow motion so Jade a car so it's all these she's in some field and Shahrukh Khan is there doing the polls and if that's what she's thinking then she might be in for a very disturbing time so I can so the parents can turns are justified okay they are

1:05:14

justified on several occasions on some occasions they're not so on some occasions like I said the parents are objecting to the stupid things they're just objecting to things like you know oh he's not from this cast or he's not you know you know I don't know like I don't like his his dad but like you know I don't know just stupid stuff oh we want you to marry just in the family or we want these and sometimes they have decent concerns like how is he gonna actually provide for the family and I think girls and guys need to think about

1:05:54

that before you get married look I know you know people say all I need is love and that's I'm sure that's true for a few hours or a whole day and a night and then after that and then after after so many there's only so many sessions of I mean so many episodes of romance and love after which a person gets hungry

1:06:30

and they think right I need to in rom-com said a few minutes later the narrator says precisely one minute and 33 seconds later he's like well oh that was fun was right so there's only so much until a person and then hunger kicks in and a person you know you've got to eat and you've got to live and you need shelter and you need amenities in life and you need these things so

1:07:08

look don't be so don't be so dramatic on this whole you know this lovey-dovey thing because people can get into that by all means by all means do little romance you know I'm not I'm not against romance but what I'm saying is be pragmatic as well and practical and we realists as well that look okay if I do get married how are we gonna live what is the quality of living because I'm telling you you know people say

1:07:45

money does not buy happiness people say that arguably arguably that may be true that may key emphasis me arguably that may be true but I tell you poverty sure as hell doesn't you know if money doesn't buy happiness poverty sure as hell definitely doesn't buy it and I'd rather be unhappy and rich then unhappy and

1:08:21

poor cheers to that people so my point is that look trust me problems because I've heard of so many stories and I say stories but they're real relationships that have gone out the window because of financial difficulties that head of their circumstances being different that maybe things would have been different

1:09:00

you know if people didn't have to fight over you know not having money to pay the bills or not being able to buy certain foods or not being able to then maybe they true it doesn't mean that they wouldn't have fought over anything else you may fight over other things and you probably will fight over other things people will annoy each other just as much I'm sure but at least it there's a greater chance I'm just saying that because these things you see just remember the hierarchy of needs people okay Maslow's hierarchy of needs

1:09:39

remember that and that's all I'm saying so my advice is that think these things through people just think I'm through and to guilt as well so girls who are embarking on relationships and they think they found the love of their life right men are dogs oh I'll I'll just admit to that and tell you that that is the truth okay so I'm not saying I'm not saying that the guy you found is a dog but probably so just

1:10:16

brace yourself make sure everything is fine know the risks and then embark upon your journey embark upon your journey yes II like resisting rather crying and Mercedes than on a bike hell yeah right so what else what else people what else is going down let's shall we move on to chef yes and Adi right so chef yes

1:10:54

sir Adi Sahib that much barakatuhu model alia watch out whoa so shaky I said party has done a khutba recent cook but I don't know maybe it's been about two three weeks or something but he did a hot bath which I did share a link to that it is it's about half an hour long and he addresses three key points he's and I'll go through them and I'm gonna go through some of the details and I think a lot of this hotbar was aimed at

1:11:31

me or and people like me several people sent it to me and I I did watch it that the hook about the talk is titled the importance of orthodoxy in Islam and I did share the link to in on my page as well so people can watch it now right so let's address this and I mentioned today I said I'm going to be addressing chef yes sir are these his objections and his video on orthodoxy

1:12:09

somebody had mentioned you know oh somebody had messaged don't you you know what about all this might create consequences or or things like was it repercussions in the in the words of this a poet his name's Abdul Hameed Adam author poet he says hum Neto zindagi coachella hey Adam come as a bogey podcaster he says that

1:12:48

we've tolerated we've tolerated life itself Adam and you're talking to me about punishments what is that is that even a thing so or repercussions so this is and I accept look I accept by going through some of these points and by some of what I'm about to say it may people may think you know why are you you know it may it may make shitty ass have

1:13:26

hardly upset but look such is life man what now what to do what to do so the thing is he's he's kind of made his point so I've got to respond to them and if it if it upsets people it upsets them I do respect shell here psychology and I'll say this time and time again Chevy are Safari if you are listening to this I do have much respect for you and I will comment on

1:14:04

on that as well in a moment but in the words of the legend June alia that busts a key fun hum nesic ah hey this say Millia who say ah that I've just learned one skill in life and that is whoever you meet leave them heartbroken [Laughter] this say is hard him with the hockey

1:14:40

gear up Milton in a khaki do what you know what can we do you don't that's the words of journey Lea side right so she'll casts her body in this video he highlights the importance of all orthodoxy and he brings up three key issues three key points the first one and I will go through these in some detail is that it is unacceptable he fields to resort to reason or he's condemning those people who wish to reconcile or reinterpret I'm

1:15:19

going to try to strong man and steel man these arguments really so and then dismantle them so so I can be fair and objective ok so he says it's on it's unacceptable for those people who wish to reconcile the modern world with the Quran by reinterpreting some of these verses and resorting to reason or to science in order to do so so he highlights this and he gives examples by the way and I'll go through these like he says for example the miracles in the

1:15:58

Quran and this is why I think it was definitely alluding to me about some of the discussions I'd had about the birds he mentions the birds and ibrahim alaih-is-salaam he mentions I think Ibrahim I listen I'm in the fire he mentions the birth of Jesus and evolution and these things and he says you can't reconcile using reason and he refers to this as scientism almost a belief in the supremacy of science and he says and that is unorthodox it is heretical it is

1:16:32

deviant it is it's it's it's basically utterly unacceptable and it is misguidance okay his second point is hadith rejection he said and these people who reject hadith this point he addresses the Quran so I think that wasn't aimed at me but he does he then brings in a sub factor he says those people who reject hadith altogether of completely misguided and

1:17:08

so on and he quotes a hadith which are surprised actually because the hadith he quoted was weak it's in Abu Dawood airBaltic necesarias hadith and it's a non weak hadith so I was quite surprised he resorted to that hadith but nevertheless but I agree with him on this point of saying rejecting hadith the irony gadi saw him Correa how are you trying to prove her these but you think we Cadiz you're kind of you're kind of doing the team over here

1:17:46

I'm with you yeah on this point so and he and then he says but there's a stronger element and that is creating doubt in the sources like doubting Buhari and doubting these things and I think this once again was referring to my recent mihari gate issue and he says well you know oh I think you know this is he says he's an expert on this and he specialised his expertise is in hadith and anybody

1:18:24

who studied hadith knows they can be no doubt in heavy I don't I just don't know how those to follow but allegedly they must be teaching something else in Modena University because anybody who studies hadith the first thing you realize is it's actually huh bro a hat that's the first thing they teach you which means it's not actually certain knowledge it's just good enough so I don't know how that part works out but anyway he share here so cardi was definitely certain

1:19:04

that this is anybody who studied hadith knows that it is certain and he is an expert on this matter that said I've invited him for a dialogue on Hari gate to which he doesn't hasn't accept it right so right his third point is any new radical he uses the term radical repeatedly any new radical interpretations are definitely heresies and deviations and he then goes on to some that to say anybody coming up

1:19:41

with radical reinterpretations is in essence all albeit you know not verbally but you know even if it's not through vocal expression but the person is ultimately claiming to be a new prophet of God so he says that those stand hand in hand so if a person is radically reinterpreting things he whether he expresses this openly or not he claims to be a new prophet of God once again I don't know what they were teaching in

1:20:19

Medina University because that is quite a leap the otic inch deity we gave you an enchilada torta yeah what have you what spine have you shoved in here I can't seem to

1:20:46

this one not nice this orange shade here so but anyway these are the three key points that share yourself I love called the has stated now there are countless contradictions in what he said as well and I'll go through some of these by the way those of you just tuning in I can see a few people are tuning in if you if you do like and share this so we can get I'd like as many people as possible this message to reach them about this video of Chevy Arsenal Auggie and the

1:21:24

responses and the response to his objections and criticisms so share the acid does go on to say in in the same talk that by the way I do accept that the Quran will always continue to unlock and unravel new meanings for people throughout time which I didn't get by the way because that kind of contradicted his first point because if the Quran unravels a new meaning for you thanks surely it's not gonna come up with a new word or something because you know you know the Quran is words already expressed so that means it's gonna be if

1:22:03

anything in interpretation so if your interpretation is is new and unprecedented as he says that it will continue to unravel and unlock new meanings for people throughout time then that means you've come up with something radically different which means you are a new prophet according to Sharia Hardy himself in the same video so I don't know how he reconciled those two points together right so I'm I'm thinking so

1:22:41

these are some some issues right now also one could sum up before getting and this is the the kind of intro to his before getting into his actual points you can sum up what right throughout his 30 minute bar he is arguing very much for the the literal reading of the Quran and arguing against a non literal reading of the Quran so he highlights time and time again that anybody who says that the metaphor in the Quran that they symbolism in the Quran that stories

1:23:19

can represent metaphors or symbols is is a deviant is a heretic these are radical new interpretations if Allah wanted to mention a story could mention a story he goes on to say that Quran Islam is not about stories he repeats that message on a few occasion and he condemns this thing of metaphor I mean the whole hook bar is pretty much sums up the fact that he is very strongly arguing for a literal reading of the Quran and arguing against in fact condemning a non literal

1:23:59

reading of the Quran right ironically by the way he himself at one point when he's arguing his third point about why you need to stick with what is the orthodoxy he goes on to say that yet Allah he Muhammad that the hand of God is with and he translates this as by the way this means the mercy of God which is a non literal reading which kind of contradicts his earlier point about you can't have non-literal readings of the Quranic must be literal readings and

1:24:39

then especially he stresses the point about beliefs he says that regarding beliefs we must be very literal and we can't have new radical new interpretations they must be the old interpretations of the people before okay so right so this is important so that's what I would like to take a look at in order to take a look at that I want to say a few words in a few minutes about share here Cyril called the now I think it's important to highlight these now share here sort of oddly we've got to understand these arguments are

1:25:19

stemming from some way okay now in order to understand the argument you have to understand or at least get a glimpse into the person that is making the arguments okay now I have respect for Chevy Arsenal cobby I used to my respect well a few years ago was definitely on the rise massively for chef Yasir Qadhi because he was really evolving and developing into some into somebody quite enlightened quite critical and he was

1:25:56

becoming a beacon of hope and reason for people but then in the last these are my thoughts on Cheryl Cathy in the last maybe two years or so he seems to have for some reason I don't know why I don't know what's going on I don't know whether it's personal I don't know whether it's he's just been advised to do so but he seems to have done a kind of u-turn I'm really gone because she you see share sort of godly just a bit about him heroes as their as a hard-line Salafi a hardcore Wahhabi I mean that's

1:26:35

his background I know I'll mention a bit about it that this is just so we understand the person and I'm not saying this as a diss but he is sure he still is a Wahhabi of the Salafi background that is somebody who he is that's unquestionable I mean that's not I'm not saying this as a disk to him he is of the Wahhabi kind of denomination and well hobbies are not all equal there's different types it's like a spectrum you have so for example you're gonna have some nutcase kind of Wahabis extreme like I suppose Isis and all of them were also Wahabis and part of the Hobby kind

1:27:14

of thing but they that doesn't mean were hobbies are like that so you get different ends of them and you get some at the very kind of you get some very we incline towards reason but they are an absolute minority like people like you will get some of the indian sub-continent all kind of maja BL the seller fear of the past like Maulana Abdul Karim Allah 30 was a Salafi and yet he's an amazing beacon or reason in his tough seer orbital with God but share said Oh Cathy he kind of I think in his early days was more entrenched so

1:27:52

he has he has a his book he has in share here some hadees book one of his books is on the four principles of shirk of muhammad IBN abdul wahab and he relies on the the key works by the Salafi you know the salafiyyah the wahhabis of the age like sharing a brain evening you bring in chefs ala ala chef and all of these people and and the reason I'm giving this backdrop is to have an understanding into this in order to understand why share here so call these saying these things we need to understand the person the person is okay

1:28:30

of a hobby and the reason I'm saying that and I'm not saying this to offend people I'm just just calling a spade a spade now why why is that important is to understand that well maja be ism is generally in essence based on literalism it is a doctrine of literal thought of dogmatism it is something that really the whole belief rose on the backs of muhammad abdullah hob hated reason he was somebody against reason altogether and his whole movement rose to kind of

1:29:08

to regain territory what is today modern-day saudi arabia to regain control of that from the ottomans and in doing so he was a humbly from a very kind of a literal reading of the humbly school and he i'm not saying he was dumb he wasn't dumb he was learning to some extent he was definitely a scholar it's not that he wasn't a scholar but he he wasn't like an exceptional genius scholar by any standard and he was definite I mean I would categorically say he was a deviant you need to and the reason because he knows somebody who believed

1:29:46

it was permissible to shed blood in the name of God he killed many Muslims who he thought because he deemed them to be non-muslims he said it was permissible to kill them he said it was permissible to enslave and rape their wives he said he was able to rob their wealth and including many of those who are coming on Hajj so he attacked the Hajis he said that they weren't true Muslims they were go far pretending to be Muslims because they've lost because they knew and therefore you can rape their wives I mean take their wives as slaves and you can kill the men and you can rob their walls and these were people coming on

1:30:23

Hajj and other Arabs that lived in Arabia at the time he did the same to them as well so he was a deviant there's no understanding or misunderstanding about that and it is no joke that his true truly his works have been an inspiration for people like modern-day Isis they saw for example Isis one of the key mandatory books that they give out to teach is kata Bhutto he'd of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab that's one of the books that they give to everybody to learn because it's very hardcore in how what declares Muslims as non-muslims so when they do this which

1:31:01

Scheldt their kafir they do this they're a cafe and it's all about dehumanizing the other so she has a kadhi is a huge fan of people like muhammad abdul wahhab although i don't know to what extent if his views have changed from but he has a book which is still in print about praising mohammad IBN abdul wahab and glorifying him and his works he's he's very inspired by a lot of the Salafis of today the Wahhabis like chef Jeanine and course a mean and bimba's and all of these people who I'm not saying are evil people they're not evil people but it's important to know that they where he's

1:31:39

coming from because these are people who are really in all essence just Bedouin scholars these are scholars who really have just lived their lives in deserts and because Saudi Arabia has become rich in the last few decades they've kind of been given a certain amount of prestige not to forget the fact that many of these selfies these were hobbies in the early 70s were part of a new can google this were part of the Jamaat and salafiyyah to Mata Seba the movement that began in the early 70s began with figures like

1:32:15

bimba's alberni bakr abu zaid all of these people were part of that movement share mobile all these people that later cave that they were doing they were the prototype version of the Taliban they would go around trying to beat people if they weren't going to the mosque and doing stuff like these and then they got cracked down on after being investigated by the Saudi authorities for a few years and then they were shut down now they claim to have disappeared from the movement and the lower ranks that were they wanted a worthy like obeyed what's his name sorry and but there were a few

1:32:54

of them that were from the lower ranks these were the leaders the pioneers of that movement Gemara Tomatis about the salafiyyah or the JMS now the lower ranks they claimed took over as they left the lower ranks produced the likes of Joe Heyman and the other people who then took over the siege of Makkah in 1979 and claimed to be the Mahdi and they smuggled weapons into the Kaaba and they killed people and they you know declared to have taken over and they declared he was the Mahdi and you can see that on on YouTube now Joe Heyman was part of the movement this is why

1:33:32

Albanian all chef MOC bill and all these people were exported from Saudi Arabia they and they were never allowed to be in Saudi Arabia that but they claimed and maybe rightfully so I except they claimed that they claimed that they left that movement when the police crack down on it and this group took it underground and a few years later emerged as the MIDI and but they in essence laid the seeds to that movement they were that movement in its early days they founded it were the pioneers of it they were the ones going around beating people up if they weren't praying and doing things

1:34:08

now they disciples so to speak did go on to become major extremists and do stuff now these people distance themselves from that I accept that but this is to give you the backdrop into these people because this is the history now I know today the salafiyyah claim that we are the least violent and we are the least to do this but you know lest we forget that only a few decades ago all of these same salafiyyah were the people that founded that movement you matter matters about the salafiyyah and it's only because the Saudi government bashed and beat the hell out of some of them in the

1:34:47

last few decades that they became so terrified that now they speak about glorifying the king of Saudi Arabia but prior to only in the 70s they founded these movements so it's not even that long ago and it is on YouTube and it's on you can buy the book a siege of Makkah so any so this is the backdrop to these figureheads or or an inspiration to share yourself adi share here sort of Carly studied in Modena University and through great inspiration from these kind of people in his early days he my understanding is he was a hardcore

1:35:26

Salafi and this is why the Salafi I loved him back then that's where he grew his his kind of his claim to fame on the back of that movement later on he departed from that movement to be fair to him he started to kind of discover his own path and go about things and he does criticize the Salafi a I think he refuses to call himself the Salafi and so things like this and I and I commend that and I you know applaud him for these things and most of the salafiyyah today consider him a deviant so that is that gives a huge that gives

1:36:05

a huge kind of backdrop to why would share yourself oddly be saying these things because ultimately he is coming from that background and although a few years ago Shelley yes it'll party was trying to shed some of this so I'd like to actually share with us now it's interesting that a few years ago they would say a kind of scandal now I say scandal I'm using that term lightly but there was a a kind of there was an issue

1:36:44

with between dour man and he a self cardi I don't know if you guys remember it was a few years back and I was very supportive of yes or hardly during that thing and and I commended his his approach like dour man had released certain emails of Sharia cell called the expressing certain things to people trying to teach them and and in the he was saying things about doubting about radical new thought and that was my point that he you see like these were the words of Chef yourself cardi and this is only a few years ago he says that conclusion the preservation of the

1:37:23

Quran cannot then be a letter for letter tequila tequila narrative the latest call is verbalized and the Muslim Ummah is taught not just as the Sunday school level mind you rather the preservation must therefore be interpreted in another manner and then he has a lot of details on that he he then ends up by saying look this is what one person said the quran is the kalaam of allah so does it mean this does it mean this does it mean this he says here we are faced with quite a few paths to solve our problems I'll only mention the two main ones one we adopt one of the above standard

1:38:03

theological schools and somehow force it to take our second theory this will require some imagination hermeneutics especially for the etheric read for the humble ease he's a humble is a Salafi in Nevada or - this is his suggestion share yourself Adi we discard all of these theological schools that is the Salafi dia sorry - Adi the martyr and understand that none of them are in fact divine and hence we cannot assume that they will all answer each and every problem hence we start from scratch and rethink

1:38:40

through the entire notion of Kalam to facilitate this we might imagine ourselves in the Iria era of the turbine own so he's saying we put ourselves back in the picture of the self and we reinvent the wheel radically reinterpret so that we are not impeded by fully fleshed-out theological boxes and allow our for press processes to think outside of the box we are no longer concerned with be with people labeling us a shoddy or Matta silly because we have now jettisoned these man-made structures ok

1:39:19

this these are the words of Chef Yasir Qadhi himself I mean now he speaks about his crisis of faith and he begins this whole thing by saying at this stage I'm hesitant to fully verbalize my beliefs not only because I'm not quite prepared to defend them now but also because they will be developing and I have been developing them this is beliefs for the last six to seven years these are the words of share Yasir Qadhi himself speaking of himself in only the last few years and that was the time I was highly praising him now I for some reason he

1:39:58

seems to have done a u-turn and become very dogmatic in the last few years 1 or 2 years definitely now right ok so let's take a look at this first point people right now he said about reason he's saying that people today are reinterpreting the verses of the Quran so they make sense to them that they they feel that this sense is above everything right and you can't do this especially for beliefs although just a moment ago we read the words of share he has a father himself saying that his beliefs are still continuously

1:40:37

developing over several years and that when he came to schools of belief which was authored oxy ulted oxy means the general prevalent belief of a people of a society of Muslim society which is really a Shari's have been the main orthodoxy of this Ummah right so firstly he's chef Hikari is not a shoddy which in itself is a contradiction because the seller fees themselves are unorthodox by going against the orthodoxy of this Ummah the seller fees reject methods they do not follow any of the four traditional

1:41:16

schools of thought if you asked sure here so called Lee do you follow method he will say no we don't need to follow method which I'm not saying it has to be wrong but it's unorthodox it's against the orthodoxy of Islam on that point he will say oh let's refer to the Quran and Sunnah and you will say to him yeah Bashar what about the Jamaa of the Muslim and then the Salafis they quote the Hadees that oh one man can be a GEMA as long as he's upon the truth so you think well hmm that's interesting so when it comes to understanding certain verses you're saying oh no you you can't

1:41:55

go against the general what majority of the people have said now but but you yourself go against the on that but so this that's something for you guys to think about now he mentioned certain verses of the Quran he gives that right now he gives the first verse he he mentions is the one to do with the birds in Surat al-baqarah verse 260 what if Allah Ibrahim that Robbie are any a kafir - he'll motor show me how you bring the lot at the dead to life caller

1:42:35

I wouldn't talk mean Allah said do you not believe Abraham Ali sallam said I do it's all I may have tranquility in my heart so Allah say is called Allah for who's our bottom in a fiery force or on a lake some magically javelin men who nurtures and the madrone yeah Tina Kazan I'm sorry Anwar luminal ah season Hakeem now Allah says why didn't you take four Birds if I sort of one night awake now I've got a detailed video on YouTube explaining this but still now this is how it's read for sorna now in one of the recitations of hamza is red for Saranac Lake now he

1:43:14

said that this means to cut now I'm not saying most people haven't taken that to mean cut most people haven't taken that but linguistically if a sort of on night Lake does not mean to cut them it means a mill whole night lake make them be inclined towards you and why would you use the word a lake why would Allah have a lake in this was towards you won't a cut towards you it doesn't make any sense so the literal reading of this is incline them towards you and that is what abu muslim had translate had interpreted this vid translated this

1:43:52

verses ages or centuries and centuries ago so that's in most of the turf RC book so when he said that nobody interpreted that in that way I don't know once again was this his understanding or or he's not come across these are the interpretations or so for sort of night in lake bring them make them be inclined towards you and then go place one bird on each mountaintop and i've explained that before he somehow feels to say that is a deviation why that's the actual word of the quran the

1:44:30

actual reading i'm going with the actual reading you're going with an interpretation the actual reading of sovereignity lake is two kind of a mill Hoonah a lake make them be inclined towards you now people say incline them towards you then kill them but that then killed them is not in the quran so that's an interpretation I'm going with the actual reading why is that a deviation now he said oh they used the verse of the quran about ibraheem alehissalaam being thrown in

1:45:07

to the fire right now the question right so okay so we have this verse of the Koran now in this verse in surah al-anbiya verse 68 and and then going moving forward as well a loss quotes the non-muslims of ibrahim ali slums time saying call ohhara ooh-hoo one surah earlier to come in kuntum very mean that they said why don't you burn him and aid or give victory to you to your many gods if you

1:45:47

are to do anything and then Allah says Allah Nayanar okuni burden was salam and allah Ibrahim and they tried to plot against him for animal a serene but we made them lose they were the losers one a Jana who and we saved him why Lewton ll ordeal atiba rakhna Fahad El Alamein and loot we saved him and loot to the land which we had blessed for people and then Allah goes on to say but then Allah follows this verse a few verses speaking about prophets and then one no hand even

1:46:26

Adam in Kabul and Noah Noah who had called his people before and we responded to him first a novel Fernet Jana who and we saved him Allah goes on to say as well and then mentioned one asana who and we get made him victorious now no way in the Quran is there a single verse is there a single verse that says ibraheem alehissalaam was thrown in the fire there is no verse that says Ibrahim Ali said I was thrown in the fire now you could say well hmm there's no vote but there is no verse Allah says we saved

1:47:03

him but does that mean he was thrown in the fire Oh Allah saved him some other by using some of the means that he managed to escape now you could say well Allah doesn't say but he doesn't he definitely does not say he was thrown into the fire now there is the yeah Naru Kuni burden was a lemon Allah Ibrahim that verse does exist that last then says and I just read that that Oh fire be that all fire be be cool and peaceful towards Ibrahim now the question was

1:47:43

that yep so is this not a miracle and why would the fire be so cool to as Ibrahim if he wasn't thrown into it well to start off with most of them of a serene all right that Ibrahim Ali sallam was caught by these people they built a big fire and they tied him up whilst they were making this big fire now the heat of this allah has mentioned Coony burden was salam on be peaceful and be cool to ibrahim now were any mediums adopted in how this wind sorry in how this fire had a cool effect

1:48:21

are in terms of its heat upon ibrahim ali sallam was it through a wind was it through a cool breeze was it through some a lot doesn't say but allah doesn't say that in many things like let me give you an example another verse where Allah says about Noah Noah who Allah uses the same in the same way he says we saved him from the flood he wasn't thrown into the flood we saved him from the flood we saved Ibrahim from the fire Allah says and then we said to the sky yes summer this is in surah hood verse

1:48:58

44 yes am i ugly ie o sky hold back your water now everybody knows the sky doesn't rain water it's the clouds and there's a process everybody knows that but Allah saying the sky yeah but that's how general usage is in the Quran not on all occasions but on many occasions Allah will refer to the sky you refer to oh and we made fruit come forth from the earth but we know there's a process there were seeds there were things we know this a lot doesn't mention that every time we say something so is that going

1:49:37

against any verse of the Quran how is that going so on a lot of these occasions people that are saying we are reinterpreting verses were actually just reading the verses as they are the problem is many of these people have forced their interpretations onto the verses so Allah never said in any verse of the Quran that Abraham was thrown into the fire one of the questions if Abraham was thrown into the fire and he didn't burn why didn't the people become why didn't the people embrace the

1:50:15

message that would have been an incredible miracle yet Abraham leaves his is town and migrates everybody knows this so whereas think about it all the people would have accepted orders of what the hell we tried to kill this person and he don't die but that's we know that's not what happened people did not embrace the message of Abraham so that's one thing another example is like you will see in

1:50:48

so for example surah maidah there's a verse about there's a verse about the table a surah the surah of the table right right sorry it's just the connection they almost went a bit weak so it's the surah of the table and the Hawaii in the disciples of Jesus asked Jesus that can yo God send down a table

1:51:22

and Allah says is the verse of the Quran right so he quotes them first verse 1 1 4 and then 1 1 508 7 o Maryam Allah Mara Bonanza Alayna man-eater Tamina somatic or nurlan are evenly overly now actually now I mink what is it now antihero rasa pain o Allah send down a table from the sky that it may be a feast and and so on and this is what the people with was asking him that it may be a feast for us and we may celebrate and allah says allah llahu

1:52:01

in me Mona's aloha alaikum for me yak for vardaman confining or the other band lazybone adam in anatomy allah says i will send down this table but should any of them disbelieve after it then I will give them such a punishment and that that nobody has ever received such a punishment now P people would say oh okay so lost sent down this table but I want to ask you something wait does it say that Allah actually sent the table it doesn't say any verse Allah is saying

1:52:39

if I send this table and you disbelieve then watch what happens now see look in all the toughest Eid and all the major toughest see if this is even assured they will write what telefilm officer hoon demo first serine disagreed an almighty the hell nestled at - Emma am lanterns in did the table actually come down they disagreed fan Mujahid wall has an unknown limb Massimino polar Allah so Hasan al-basri Mujahid they said when Allah said for maniac firm income for maniac for bottom income whosoever

1:53:19

disbelieves then watch the punishment huh Fuu they became frightened first offal men Paula bin Azula - I'm Tintin for lumpiness said that they that they became frightened and they said that you know what forget it we don't want it that is the selleth of this omar the students of evening bus were saying that that the table didn't actually get sent down now you can believe that the table got sent down that's up to you people can believe that it didn't get sent down that's up to them but no way in the quran does it actually say that it got sent so what I'm trying to say is to

1:53:59

force you into patient on to something and then to call other people deviance is unacceptable he then went on to say about the birth of Jesus and this is something that people are deviants for challenging now regarding Jesus Ali Ali Salaam in the Quran we know the language surrounding Jesus in the Quran is quite interesting okay because it's styled in ways that no Muslim beliefs about Jesus so for

1:54:37

example Jesus is referred to on more than one occasion in the Quran as the Word of God now that doesn't resonate with Muslims we don't believe in Jesus to be the Word of God that's a Christian thing yet in the Quran so for example in Ali Imran verse 43 Allah says when giving glad tidings to Mary that they hear that she received glad tidings we kill him at him in who but of the word coming from God is smoo al maseeh hi Sapna Mariam the Messiah Jesus the Son of Mary that will

1:55:16

be his name this the word this is the word of God in another verse in Surat Annisa 170 in the Messiah I serve no Miriam rasool allah wa kelly that jesus is the messenger of god and his word which he sent down or threw down on to Mary and the Spirit of God war how mean once again what are these these words no Muslim really believes this about Jesus if you want to accept literal nobody believes that another see this is very like like in the Gospel of John

1:55:55

that in the beginning there was you know in the beginning there was the word and the word was with god and the word was god and as muslims if you believe that the word of god is uncreated then by that you ought to it follows almost ties into jesus being on created because he is the word of God now Muslims will say oh but by the Word of God here we just mean he was a miracle no but that word of God isn't used for any other prophet and you could say yeah because he didn't have a dad yeah but then you argue that Adam didn't have a dad and you don't refer to Adam

1:56:35

as the Kelly Mutulu is the Word of God so what what is going on why and then the word the Holy Spirit is used with no other prophet I mean it's used once as revelation coming down with the Holy Spirit but otherwise it's used on three occasions just with Jesus so you have for example Allah says in surah al-baqarah verse 87 well I get now who will help others and we assisted we gave him a help with the Holy Spirit this was to Jesus in surah Baqarah verse 253 well

1:57:13

artena i said 'no Merryman bayonetta we gave him the clear signs what a vietnam beer or he'll coders and we has helped him with the Holy Spirit in surah maidah verse 1 1 5 Allah says if all along yeah I serve no Miriam and when God said oh Jesus the Son of Mary Ruth corneum a ti-liger remember my blessings upon you and your mother wanna worry the take it yet took a below hand others when I helped you with the Holy Spirit once again what is this Holy Spirit this is mentioned with any other prophet generally you don't get any of this so there's a lot of rhetoric being used when it comes to Jesus that was

1:57:53

generally the kind of Christian rhetoric that is used in the Quran perhaps in a sense of building bridges between the Muslim and Christian communities and to maybe a find an ally in them and be maybe for many of them to convert and come closer find themselves in greater proximity to Islam and they by embrace the message right

1:58:25

right generally a he says 58:22 what what is that let's see let's see 58 saw rattle okay let me just see oh right no I wish they would number in this myself

1:59:01

I haven't got it numbered you see right okay what verse did you say 58 22 21 22 let's I didn't know it doesn't say it doesn't say see this is my point it doesn't say in any verse of the Quran

1:59:40

right I I mean see it says we help them with a spirit from him not with the Holy Spirit we're raw hello cutters raw hell cutters is the Holy Spirit not Roy Roy just means spirit Holy Spirit which people will say is gibreel now that only comes generally comes wants to do with revelation that we sent them revelation with the Holy Spirit other than that with the only prophet that it is mentioned it is just ASA now my point of mentioning this is that the

2:00:17

rhetoric with Jesus is is different so now when it comes to the virgin birth first of all it's a different topic that even in the Bible right now with the exception of the Gospel of Luke and Matthew generally the Bible never really referred to in essence the virgin birth I mean this wasn't a the early Christians it's not it's Oh most likely that the early Christians did not believe in a virgin birth right this is the early Christians I'm not speaking about Muslims the early Christians most likely did not believe in a virgin birth

2:00:55

and neither and the prophecy that they're referring to in the Old Testament even biblical scholars highlight that that word does not say but all virgin he says alma which meant a young girl as in like a young maiden which most likely was a virgin but didn't have to be so the same word is used with Solomon and the same word is used on a certain occasion Alma who had a child and so and it's one of the prophecies mentioned in the old testament that they kind of fall back on but you will see before the Gospels are written so any of the letters of the Apostles of the letters

2:01:35

of for example Paul and all of these there is never a mention of a miraculous birth of Jesus and this comes much later definitely by the second century third century after Krish after Jesus this becomes doctrine now the question is as well Mary is never in Islam referred to as the Virgin Mary this is a very Christian thing right this is never the some Muslims have started to fall victim to this we never say Virgin Mary Virgin Mary is not referred to as Mary mal

2:02:13

bottle okay she is not Mary was definitely married and she was most likely definitely not a virgin generally speaking throughout her life like the Catholic Church likes to believe so for example Jesus had brothers and sisters in fact the Gospel of Mark and definitely the Gospel of Matthew 13 mentions James josie's Jude Simon and unnamed sisters were the children of Mary and the siblings of Jesus that is mentioned so now just to

2:02:48

highlight right so okay another thing I wanted to highlight the reason I was saying this is I've not said that people cannot believe in the virgin birth I've not said that I've said that the Muslims have had a difference of opinion on this matter that you do have that as a general belief that Muslims feel that Mary had a virgin birth although no verse in the Quran says that she had a virgin birth a verse implies it does not say just as the table verse implies that

2:03:28

the table may come down but it doesn't say that it did happen like that so I'll come to that verse in just a moment now verses implying note so yeah some are these days in this thing this is a clear the Quran I'd like him to show me what clear verse of the Quran says that it was a virgin birth that it happened like that now not just implies but directly says that then I mentioned some Oh Lamar like Maulana Abdul Karim Allah thirty Alamut Amana Ahmadi and these people said that it was a natural birth and that's not the case but the miracle they highlighted was that when she got

2:04:07

married to Joseph that Joseph would abstain and he was not interested in any kind of intimacy and hence when the angel came and she said but how can I have a child and I haven't even been touched and that after that that she did conceive she conceived naturally just as Ibrahim ELISA Lam's wife said how can I have a child and when the angel came to her and she said I've reached the menopause I'm an old lady and they said and the angel said well it's the decree of God it doesn't mean she had a natural somehow kind of non-sexual birth it doesn't it didn't mean that just as the

2:04:46

wife of Zechariah in the Quran who says that she was barren and she says well how can I have a child and the angel says it is the decree of God it doesn't mean that she just conceived just like that she had a husband Zachariah I mean that none of these and the same so these people who have argued this point have just gone with with those two prophets before them they said well the same thing was said to them same thing was said to Mary everybody accepts Mary had a husband at the time Joseph the difference was was that birth a virgin birth Muslims do not believe virgin she remained a virgin throughout her life

2:05:24

nobody says these not Muslims anyway and even many Christians beyond the Catholics don't say that either so and here's another verse now this is an interesting one you see Chevy a sir are you saying no we must only go with literal reading of the Quran in surah tota hareem in verse verse 12 you had the verse about Mary whoa Mary military morality a sonnet for jaha and Mary who had been chaste and safe guarded her private parts and asana by the way is a verb that is used often in

2:06:03

Arabic to do with safeguarded through marriage so hence they say when somebody is in trouble for adultery were they my son as Allah says in the Quran well mas an ottoman and Nisa which is the beginning of the fifth Jews is referring to those women who are married who are chaste through marriage okay Imran Allah ty0 Mary my Boneta immorality a sonnet for John - fo na female Ruina you see this verse reads and Maryam the daughter of Imran who safeguarded her genitals her

2:06:42

private parts we breathed into the into it he says when a na ve into her private parts may Rowena of our spirit now that's in surah tutoring now as far as I'm aware no Muslim would generally believe that to be literal I mean I don't know maybe she'll hear sort of God he does believe it to be literal but generally Muslims don't believe God actually went and breathed into Mary's private parts with his spirit into that no but no Muslim that I'm aware of

2:07:21

generally believes that to be literal so yet yet you're saying that any other verse must always take every literal implication so this is my this is my point now this is the verse that you're referring to that in surah Maryam and there's another one as well but this one is in a bit more detail what coral kitabi maryam and remember Maryam when she set off to a place for taka that mean dunya major burn and then Allah says for our salah alayha rohana fatima Salalah hey Bashar

2:07:59

and so we and we sent our spirit and this once again they say is the spirit here is the holy spirit being gibreel but Allah didn't say that but they this is the general understanding and he appeared as a strong man to her as sorry as a fully-developed man call it a near homonym inca in cantata yeah she said I seek refuge in Allah from you Paula in the manner of solo rock Becky I am the messenger of your Lord Lee AHA by lucky Holloman zakiya so I may give to you a lamb a young boy

2:08:37

now by the way most Muslims don't accept that either literally that he gave the child to to marry nobody Muslim I don't know any Muslim that accepts that literally so ah let's I know you're cool Aliya gulaman well am iam sesame Bashar well I'm aku Bertha yeah she says that no man has touched me I'm not a woman of bad character Oh like how can I have a child Carla kathai like a caller a bookie who are you hanging that such your Lord has said he and it is easy for him Wally Naja Allahu and so that we may make him I attend Lena see where I'm at a mineral

2:09:15

can Amalia and then it mentions she became pregnant and went to a distant land and so on nowhere here does it say that it was a virgin conception I'm just saying you can still believe that I do except it implies that just as the table verse implies that the table was sent down yet several people didn't accept that it was sent down because he didn't clearly say so so a lot could have clearly said yes and Jesus didn't have a dad but a lot doesn't say that once in the Quran he

2:09:52

does not say that so yes you can take this verse and say you know I I take from this that it she it was a virgin birth but to say people anybody who disagreed with that has left the the Dino has become a deviant and gone against this and that how that goes and and let me tell you and those people who argued against that so for example those like Maulana Abdul Karim li3 his teacher maulana in ayatollah gujarati it was vizier Abadi and a lama termina Ahmadi

2:10:30

and all these scholars that they have suffer example they use this verse in the Quran which is in surah al-anam well I speaking about the prophets and in surah 80 verse 85 he says was that career yeah yeah Issa well yes I couldn't Minnesota Haines and all of these prophets were from the pious people Zakaria yeah here Issa and yes they were all pious why is my ill well yes sir our units were loot and all of these were cool and football now El Alamein and we favored all of these women ABBA him and their fathers we favored was the reality him of1 him and

2:11:10

they brothers and offspring this verse would include Jesus in de because it says it mentions these eight prophets and he says and their fathers now you could say yeah but that was just lit that was just usage language but it didn't include him who but it does seem to Incline definitely weighs in on the side that he had a father weighs in on that side another verse that those people used is in surah 2 an arm and they using the quran d it's not that they making this stuff up allah says in surah al-anam and this is a very

2:11:49

powerful verse that they use i Allah when refuting people says but Osama wati wa naam Allah who created the heavens and the earth Analia kun allahu willard how can God have a child listen to this listen to these people I know you kun Allahu Welland how can God have a child well I'm tackled level sahiba and he did not have a wife or a companion you see because Allah is showing them the reasoning that how can God have a child and he didn't have a wife now if you're gonna say yeah but you could just have a

2:12:27

miracle child like he did in the other verse so that means God's reasoning here that God has given is silly like God is arguing against them in unless the only reason that would make sense is if a reason and the laws of nature make sense why else does this make sense why is God saying to them but he Osama was he well on the Allah the creator of the heavens and the earth under yaku no level and how can he have a wallet well MTAC allah awj sahiba and he did not have a female companion because that's

2:13:06

how babies are born so right so this shows this is a clear verse of why otherwise this reasoning is to say the Lord you say well that's easy God doesn't need to God could just make a child without having a female so then that's an argument like that's an argument against God for using that as an argument the only way that verse can make sense is if all births follow a natural law of order or natural order of law sorry so now the so these are the arguments

2:13:45

used by these people who argued for a natural birth and like I said look it's entirely up to people I'm not saying you need to believe this I'm not saying you need to believe that but to declare deviant and to declare people like oh they've lost the plot they they no longer main Stream Muslims they no longer this they no longer that because they have this reading of the Quran when the Quran itself doesn't actually say that that's a huge stretch so I mean these are some words then he whoa at the time right then he spoke about evolution even

2:14:24

though the verses of the Quran say work on halakha come at whare in surah Noor that Allah created you in stages Allah mentions in surah new verse 17 wallah whoo I'm better communal or dinner but Allah glue you like plants out of the earth now what is that talking about and then Allah says in surah al-anbiya verse 30 I want a mirror ladina Catherine s-samawati wa lob can I tell what do they not see how everything was like as one and then we cleft in asunder and that was all nominal man equal machine

2:15:04

hey fella you mean I'm from water from a common water we created all sources of life do they not see this yet they do not bring faith that's verse 30 of surah al-anbiya how is this aunty once again look you can believe what you want an eeveelution I'm not saying it's up to you but these verses clearly argue for that I'm just saying why are these people deviants or heretics or new prophets how it makes no sense whatsoever and as the verse in surah al-e-imran in the masala ISA in the like a Maithili Adam a challah comment Robin

2:15:41

from a hollow come fiyaquun' the example of Jesus is like that of Adam he created him that's in I am around verse 59 he created him from dust and said be and he was well we know that's not true for first of all for Jesus because if Jesus is like Adam then Jesus had a mum then that means Adam must have had a mother and then you're gonna say well no well that's not the case Adam didn't have a mother so when how is he like Jesus and then you're saying well he created him from dust well you know Jesus wasn't created from dust and you say oh no but it was the command

2:16:20

being it is and he said yeah but let's just go to that verse Holika whom Interop he first of all created him then said be so look Hanukkah home in Torah he created him from dust some all after a time had elapsed said to him allah llahu kun fire corn but he created him first he wasn't created with the sudden be because then why would why would Mary be pregnant why didn't it why wasn't he just created what was the whole purpose

2:17:00

elastic Hanukkah whom he created him then said be and he was right so right so that's some of these things which I think are important to really to really was just seeing here there was another

2:17:28

important verse I want you to pay attention to this this is sort of taught me known on evolution right Allah speaks right verse 12 and 13 this is incredibly important right on surah told me known Allah says walaqad jalapeno in sanam insularity main thing we created in son from a gooey kind of substance of clay and many people said that this extract this kind of soul a sorry a gooey extract many people today say that is

2:18:06

DNA that is being referred to maintain most of them of a serene say that this by the way ends on you can check bobbery and all these are the books they say in Sanya is Adam walaqad jalapeno in sanam insularity maintained created Adam they say so much Allah who then we placed him him not fatten the karate machine we made him a drop a droplet and not fight is usually a droplet of sperm

2:18:41

the Ferrari machine in a stable which is the womb car are in a stable place now some of them here the more serene get confused because if the first one was Adam then how was Adam in a womb so here some of them say maybe this is talking now the second who is talking about people in general other people said no maybe Adam was created and then placed in an artificial womb like a love created a womb like structure and put him in it and then those people who argued for evolution like the tore up

2:19:21

the reversible Shaheen and other people they said well why if if wounds were already available why would Allah create an artificial womb like structure so look these are verses of the Quran that are being used they're not like somebody's not bringing this out of thin air so I think that's really important the second key factor that Sharia so-called they went to was about the Quran and I agree with him here that look and by the way on the evolution point yes Arkady said a lot clearly mentioned in the Quran about Adam and Hawwa and

2:19:59

anybody who disagrees with this first of all how ah is not mentioned in any verse of the Quran okay there is no mention of Eve in the Quran just to clarify that for sure he has a Rd Sahib dammit burka - c'mon awliya there is no mention of even the Quran Eve is mentioned in some hadith in the Quran Allah mentioned there about five or six places well Allah kanakam me enough same way he that we created you from a single soul in none of those verses does he ever mention that to be Adam so any verse in which Allah mentions the origin of mankind that we created you from a

2:20:37

single soul and from it we made many a frog and you know from it or its partner we set forth many Adam is never mentioned in those verses the word Adam although the name Adam is used on countless occasions in the Quran but never used we're allies speaking about we created you all from Adam and so on like that in these verses where well I gotta lock now come in Neffs in wahid and so on that is just it always just says from a self another interesting verse is one of them I don't let me see

2:21:15

if I've highlighted here somewhere with bringing up if it is here right see oh this is an interesting verse in surat al-a'raf and you can all share yourself copy this that you see who only the halacha come enough saying yhay' they created you from a single self and by the way this is always feminine whenever it is used it is never masculine created you from a single self a feminine self Raja al-amin has Oh jam from it created it's the feminine its partner so he may find compassion or sorry may find tranquility

2:21:55

in her fellow Mathura shahe when he covered her intimately sexually she became pregnant for Hamlet to be Hamlin for Hamlet Hamlin - she carried she was off child for Margaret to be out as time went by when it became when she became heavily pregnant falen my Escalade our Lara bomber they cried out today Lord lion our tightness Allah Hanlin a cooling I'm gonna shake inning if you give us a pious child we will be grateful Fallon my art our masala hand when he gave them either a pious or a fully body an able-bodied a sound child when he

2:22:33

gave them a sound child jalalahu Shalaka they committed with Allah most mother serene say that's Adam how is that Adam why is Adam committing shook and then they say oh he only committed shirk in name like he decided to name his child after another god but he didn't believe he he just named it what a stupid thing to say why would Adam Ali salam be committing it doesn't make any sense unless this person that is being spoken of is from

2:23:11

before Adam right another interesting thing is inni ja'ilun fill all the Khalifa I will play something halifa means something that comes at the end of on earth the end of you the end of the other hominins that will succeed the other hominins so this that's that's those who are arguing in favor of evolution and look if you don't want to accept evolution you don't have to although it is pretty much a scientific fact now through genetics that we are connected all of life on

2:23:47

earth is connected so but don't call people who do believe that the world around us is you know it's something Allah has told us to explore when it is reconcilable with the quran don't tell us that that is somehow devaluing the program right now the second thing on the Quran you know I pretty much I agree with the chef Yasir Qadhi although when he said about the Quran in rejecting hadith and so on the hadith first of all he kept using the word hadith and so 90 changeably which according to the school

2:24:27

of Medina Imam Ali Canova Hanif is wrong so we believe in the Sunna the hadith is not the Sunna okay so we draw a distinction obviously share here so called the being from the seller fees from the Wahhabi kind of background doesn't draw that distinction so so to him they are synonymous to us they ain't synonymous the other thing he missed out when he said to the Quran that they are how would they know how to pray five times a day you see we don't know how to pray because of hadith we know how to pray because of the living tradition of Islam so we know that through thick okay so Fick carried on the living tradition

2:25:06

which ironically is rejected by Sharia law kadhi and the Salafis and the Wahabi by extension they reject as in following a particular method but the living tradition is what preserved the Sunnah that Islam was just practice people didn't used to say oh hey how do we how do you praise Allah I know let's open a fifth book I'm sorry a hadith book oh we do that that's not how Islam was spread they just learnt it from you know from from father to child that's how it was transmitted that is the living tradition so he forgot to mention that point oh he

2:25:44

chose not to mention that point the other thing is he said about look the hadith that let the Haditha quoted of a baldness area is a week by hadith that isn't really there's no point really quoting that because it is graded as life which is a bit ironic since you're trying to prove IDs and the hadith you quote is a weak one o Bhima cadiz our joke too much you know you're joking

2:26:17

right so the thing is so the the other thing is he said I've mastered the science of hadith and anybody who masters had these knows that there's no doubt in hadith I don't know what class you were sitting in shift because anybody who studies hadith knows that hadith in general or the general understand the orthodoxy of hadith studies is that hadith is hobro a hat

2:26:55

okay it is not certain it's not known with certainty and we and this is why you can't build beliefs based on hadith according to the majority the Orthodox Muslim the ash Oddie's okay you can't build beliefs based on hadith you can only build beliefs based on the Quran right by principle according to the hadith and the motto deities which were the majority of the Muslims and the the orthodoxy so so that's not not actually true the other thing is hobro are had normal hadith the hanafis do not accept normal hadith just like this anyway until they don't meet their

2:27:35

principles so they do to reject hadith that go against reason the Maliki method the European will reject Habra hat if it went against reason this is an on principle - either you don't know this or you do know it when you chose to omit this or you I'm trying to find more excuses for you marry Jan this is out of my love for you but I'm rich stuck in this one you know so so sorry but

2:28:10

yeah right so the thing is that yeah and as to you being an expert in mihari and all these things yeah let's have a talk Buhari gate I've highlighted the issues on Bihari gate you've not answered them you've refused to engage in a dialogue you've repeated about two or three times in your hook but that you are such an expert a master you know you hold these and which maybe you do I'm not I'm not denying that your studies by the way you began your talk by saying people who are

2:28:48

not qualified I don't think that part was aimed at me to be fair because technically I would clearly outrank you okay you know I just like speaking with honesty because technically I mean Aston I would outrank your teachers that taught you because I'm a Mufti at the end of the day today major who must be a bull a sponging up is Kabir Hadley Husky

2:29:24

chica that's actually a poem from Joan Ilya I just put my name in there but the thing is that look so as far as the qualifications are concerned I don't think you were referring to me then be I've definitely studied the whole Alamitos I don't think I don't know as far as I'm aware she has a card he studied in Modena University so I don't I'm not aware that he actually went through traditional Madras our training I'm not sure if he did I don't think he has I don't think he's been traditionally trained what they call to eliminate it in the Arab world or we

2:30:02

call it dear Asad Ali Mia I don't think he's received that and as far as I'm away I could be wrong I don't think he's actually you know studied the I mean like memorized the Quran maybe he has memorized the Quran but I don't think he's actually studied the books of hadith cover-to-cover so we had to study all of bihari muslim abu dawood tell me the etc cover to cover every single hadith in there I don't think he's done things like that but I don't think that was aimed at me anyway but perhaps I thought I'll just mention that anyway so qualifications are definitely fear so that's not true and why don't we have a talk if you're

2:30:41

very confident since you said I'm more than confident about the science of hadith and as to the third point of radical reinterpretations that meant anything new is tantamount to declaring yourself a new prophet car these are bars either you behave you know this one what do you mean declare yourself a new prophet how is not the Salafi movement a radical reinterpretation do you declare yourself a prophet for being radically a moment when I read your message saying

2:31:21

look we should shun all the previous schools and come up with a new interpretation from you what you had announced was was that you declaring yourself to be a prophet this one big problem this this label too big you know this trying to say declare yourself being a prophet come on come on behave

2:31:51

so god this up that one was that's a bit too much that really it's on they don't do much so we can't declare so i think these kind of things are out of order however you can look you can say to people look I think you know I disagree with you or I want to stick with the majority and like he said the hadith is yellow lime al Jemma the irony is all of the selfies are presented with these exact same Medivh on why they should follow methods and that's the irony all you have to do is read their own

2:32:30

responses to normal Muslims on why they don't follow methods and they say yet Allah him I'll Gemara but the Jamaa are can be one person this is the Celebes you come up with this that we don't need to follow the majority one person can be the majority this is what they say so why is it that these things aren't looking at either you look what selfies believe I'm not trying to be rude but look in all honesty you can ask F yourself howdy they believe that God has one leg all selfies believe God has one leg and one

2:33:05

foot not making this up they say yeah we don't know what his leg looks like sorry that's just my laughter coming out this one not nice me hey Musti let me have a word with myself right okay but in all honesty in all seriousness they do believe God has one leg you can all share some cloudiness he'll tell you yeah we believe God has one leg in one foot but we just don't know what that forties and we don't know what that leg is and we don't know what

2:33:45

it looks like or and you think well what on earth are you on about that majority the Muslims have never believed stuff like this is this not a radical you know are you not why don't you follow the majority the Gemara the Gemara and the quran has is full of no little ISA jazz well to say there's no non-literal usage in the Quran of course there is the the a Shari's have always argued the majority the Muslims have accepted metaphor in the Quran Allah uses metaphor on several occasions in the Quran I've quoted like the verses the whole wanting to fall down how does the wool want the verse is to do with

2:34:25

Allah most of the Muslims do not take these things like Allah has one foot in one leg and what is it hands and this and that and multiple eyes and these verses that are mentioned in the Quran most Muslims accept them just as non-literal usage like just these are just like idiomatic usage of language to reflect power and majesty in the Quran and stuff like that so right so I hope these things make some sense my battery is kind of coming to an end people look that's how much passion and enthusiasm

2:35:02

we put in this day but I hope this the serious message came across here that I had to share my thoughts because I thought that video was quite dangerous by Sharia self Adi and it does dishearten me that I don't know maybe I'm wrong but he seems to have really done a 180 on his his stance where he was developing and becoming quite open to reason so a few years ago share here sir Adi saying music may not be Haram I remember that because I shared it on Facebook that was interesting that was a

2:35:36

new radical reinterpretation sometimes sometimes sometimes subtle right not old-time seven times all right so the sub so that was but then I don't know he seems to have really come back with all with all of this and so that's it really so in summary share yourself Adi all I want to say is it's there's a difference of interpretation we need to be welcoming we need to embrace dialogue and I do agree with you I am not in

2:36:12

favor of rejecting hadith in general although Imam Malik Porter that we accept hadith and we rejected thee where it goes against the tradition where it goes against reason where it goes against the principles of Islam or against the Quran this is our understanding of the theme however we generally accept having we are not people that say throw Hadees away nobody has said that and I agree with you although I wouldn't quote that weekend

2:36:45

all right sorry sorry sir sorry I got carried away not carried away your excuse me sorry way yeah right so that's the I get excited you know sometimes the excited so right people so on that I'll leave you with that wow it's been quite a lengthy session guys have an awesome evening an awesome night wherever you are get some rest inshallah as always much love and to share yourself AVI yeah little bit Muttley and I have don't take these words to heart

2:37:22

ah love you my journey all right the rest of you Chavez likewise take care of yourselves we'll catch up soon salam o aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato
