See The Good | Meaning With MALM #8

[Music] excellent

see this is why first and foremost i have to do a sound check make sure that i'm going through loud and clear that you guys can hear me um right so i'm just going to give a few seconds for people to tune in get a sound clearance okay i can see ayuba maliki

you're doing it sound is working loud and clear crystal all right so in much

love to all of you all right it's always a pleasure seriously brings a smile to my face to be to converse with you people adnan all right so what i want to take a look at today amongst other things is if i can bring this up there it is

so this is some of the the things we're going to take a look at in today's lesson in sha allah keeping a personal part of the personal connect with the quran i thought let's choose this surah just to give an example of a very short surah that we all know all too well surah ilaf and let's speak a bit about that then i wanted to touch up on this topic of hubris okay dealing with the ego and i want to take a look at a case study from the quran

perspective but a historical islamic example which is incredibly important incredibly important and i want to take this let's take walid why people feel he is the subject of many quranic ayat okay um a an arch nemesis to the prophet alaihi wasallam yet why and how did he end up becoming such a adopting such a role he is the father of khalid bin walid

uh and i thought it's quite interesting because many people may not be uh completely aware of the backstory that goes into this this character walid and then also i thought look let's give you guys a little introduction to a store just a a a brief dialogue that is in words but really goes beyond words and that is between two legends

red sulfur known to many as and on the other hand so you've got this transcendental divine um experiential navigator one who explores realms that are ineffable beyond words so conversing with the man of reason himself

the great philosopher the man who introduced aristotle once again to europe in the dark ages alvaros the man who really kindles once again the the flame and passion for philosophical reasoning within the islamic tradition following uh the tumultuous turn of imam ghazali almost a century earlier so when these two giants meet and they have a somewhat of a dialogue and

i'll be a brief one but it's so i thought let me share that with you guys so that's something i want to take a look at whilst i'm doing this i'm just taking a look at your comments lonzetta you're doing it um all right isn't he the one who's very articulated and cunning in diplomatics and politics not sure i'm not sure who you mean by the ibn rust i'm not sure

but uh so people you know the drill click like click share spread the love man spread the love people let me just see yep whilst you're doing that i'll take a sip alright

first and foremost let me just take a look connect with mechente over here what are you guys saying what's going on is diplomacy allowed in islam of course in fact it's transmitted by many of the great salaf that it is a it represents it is a huge portion of knowledge in this life and that is diplomacy

so um and often people and it has sometimes people may use different words to refer to it um one word used in the time of the self and i believe it's transmitted from saying as well that he said and this is a it's interesting because the word can have um it can have a negative connotation it can i suppose

it's a bit like the word cunning i mean madara doesn't mean but the way the word cunning has a almost at times a negative connotation to it does and it's how you are doing that but with the other with people having to kind of be diplomatic with them and it's um it really is a it's something it's it's a science in and of itself ahad you're doing it much love to you all the way to australia down under people down

under so what else have we got who have we got here king farabri himself salam look at that not even salaam salaam alright i see saracen you do in it right we've got hussein bourbon from long island new york afraid we missed abdul basid saying

i did check into the bengali the bengali greeting and it turns out it's actually just swagatam anyway so so i so i thought well ah i'm co i've covered that as it is then all right who else have i got here mm-hmm all right

who has reclused and turned away from the public eye to live a private and more seclused secluded life but still can has many gems to share with the public this is why i'm asking him if you jump onto mind trap whenever you're ready speaking of mind trap we should have uh we should have this inshallah we should have an episode this friday coming up we've got bilal ahmed salam from jamaica

much love doing it doing it much to you right so look at this different regions it's just so good to see people from nora parish salaam from florida it's always a pleasure to see you online right i see saracen firing away with the with the super chat straight away into the super chat and much love for the super chat hmm let's read his question people why don't muslims compile their own bible

by adding the hadith collections after the pages of the quran since some muslim have given sahih bukhari divine status won't this make sense why don't muslims compile their own bible by adding the hadith collections after the pages i'm not sure i understand that question i see saracen so uh lo siento lo siento hermano um i think what you asking kiraga you're doing it much love from sweden

we've got quite a uh an international audience online tonight dervish as last but not least clear right here from the midlands representing arrived from coventry people coventry that's where it's all happening even though it got done over in the world war those of you that remember

you see this is this is what politics is the south they thought ah it's only coventry let it get bombed and right so shut up you're doing it from india all right

you're doing it you're doing it right so i see sarasan adding to the question sorry if the question is confusing sure from what i understood by the question is that why don't muslims formally have an adage to portions of the quran from hadith literature i don't think that would make any sense uh to be honest in any way um

right i don't think that would make sense in any way because it's not it's not at all what we what muslims believe they don't the hadith can never be never be on the same darja as the quran never that's not that that's not a conversation that's going to ever happen because it just cannot be and

there's many reasons that the hadith is not revelation it's not divine content it is historical records that's what they are so people describing records of the prophet's actions his presence his statements his description these are simply historical historical data that's what it is then there is an issue of etymology oh sorry

etymology there is an epistemology there's an issue of epistemology that how do we know this data to be authentic how do we know it to be so there's two there's a distinction in how if we say that the prophet said this how do we know that to be true so well what muslims have done and they've spent a great considerable amount of effort in trying to do this is they have a detailed

um study of asanid and then is a chain of narration so they have gone into huge biographies of narrators and and they have exhausted their best effort in trying to filter authentic from fabricated narrations and it's a highly commendable effort but like all human efforts it will never be infallible so it's not and that's the epistemology that's like how do we even know it to be true then you have the hadith which is an

isolated narration it's coming from one on one on one which has adds questions to i mean it doesn't add questions to the narration what it does is it means that this could be critiqued because it could be a matter of perspective so for example one person sees the prophet doing something fine that could be his or her interpretation because that on many occasions the companions disagreed with themselves so you have conflicting narrations so you've got that element then you've got other challenges the

fact that hadith mainly are rewarded that means they are transmission with by paraphrasing so this adds as you can imagine it adds challenges to the discourse because what that means is well i could be conveying my interpretative analysis or my perception and maybe i've maybe i've understood it differently so yeah so these are all of these equations to to understand why the discussion of

hadith as important as hadith is clearly a an important historical record and source within sunni islam that goes without say that that said it is never on the tarja of the quran especially um and and the scholars disagree amongst themselves they all agree that it's not in the directive of the quran but then they disagree in the uh attitudes towards it so imam malik and imam abu hanifa they very early on distinguished between hadith so they said hadith is simply a

historical record a document it's a a a data or or it's just a document let's say now sunnah is the practice so imam malik was very clear an imam abu hanifah too as well that every hadith is not a sunnah and not every sunnah was necessarily documented although most may be so it's like a venn diagram and you've got that so a clear example from the hanafi school where they argue this is um the the

hanafi's will state that right the hanafi's will state that taraweeh was a sunnah to pray as 20 although and in jama'a although the uh and this is why umar radhiallahu and did it so that's the hanafi argument even if the hadith isn't there the document isn't there but we know it was the practice otherwise so this was the argument presented by imam abu hanifah otherwise

he was not somebody to innovate so that's an example where they are saying that we know this to be the sunnah but it's not a hadith and the hadith that we do have we know not to be the sunnah so let me give you an example from the maliki side the maliki side is many because imam malik had the school of medina as a practice and he showed that so in let's say praying with the hands at the side we call this in the maliki madhab sadhal right so you drop the hands at the side now this was the practice of many

schools early schools of islam within sunni islam so it was the practice of people like said great tabe the son-in-law of abu huraira it was the practice of said the student of ibn abbas it was it was transmitted from saying uh well although it's um it's been challenged the narration but let's say the practice okay let's stick to the practices so you've got said you've got ibn zubair um the nephew of aisha um you've got uh ibrahimovic it's been it's been

transmitted from him hassan al-basri you've got um it's it's a in addition to that later later in egypt prayed the same way with sudha hands at the side the dawn of madinah imam malik prayed with his hands at the side it's also a transmission in the school of imam ahmad now that many people pray with their hands at the side in early islam it also happens to be the practice of the shia in jafari going right back they claim to albeit

to the al the the family of the prophet it also happens to be the practice of many of from an early splinter from a sprinter group in early islam the khawarij to kind of deviate away in very early islam but when they prayed they still prayed with their hands at the side so when you've got three separate entirely separate sects in islam the khuarij who want nothing to do with the other two sunni islam the main branch shia islam who all of these are entirely separate

kind of branches of islam yet they all pray with the hands at the side in sunni islam it was a minor it was look in in early islam there were many people but then it seems to get crushed because this is in the time of the taber in the students of the sahaba in the time of bani umayya and there's some theories uh i've heard certain scholars present certain theories i know it's also i i've i've heard uh sheikh hamza yusuf say as well who's also maliki um that this most likely was this practice of sadhal praying with your arms at the side was

suppressed by the regime because it was the practice of the shia the uh the islam nabi so the family of the prophet and thereby they didn't want any familia i don't know any kind of commonalities and thereby they suppressed this practice i'm not sure how strong that is as an argument but that's also an argument people have made because the evidence clearly shows it to be very common in the time of bani umayya and as following bani umayya it seems to have become reduced within sunni islam

and today it's only alive in the maliki school in the school of medina and it's a shame that some malikis nowadays they you see it doesn't matter how you pray whether you pray with your hands at the side or or you fold them or whatever you do but it's a shame that you um guilt-trip people out of things because really as astonishing as this may seem there isn't a single sahih hadith to prove where to place the hands in prayer there isn't a single sahih adith the closest

hadith that they have within um sahil bukhari has huge problems because it doesn't mention that the prophet told them to do it it mentions omirna and then ismail says i think he's talking about the prophet and and some people say maybe he's not talking all and if he hadn't said that it would have been okay but the fact he said that showed people were speculating who because he says we were commanded to place our hands above our hands and it triggered an amount of disc discussion who commanded you so now the hadith doesn't say it

so people say well it must have been the prophet but when the narrator in the chain says i think he says he says i it appears to me that that's going back to the prophet now that shows that there's doubt because if i have to say that it creates a discourse so there is an and this is a great mauritanian scholar who um the father of muhammad allah means

it sounds a bit strange for the disease and he he has an amazing book i do have it somewhere where he brings all the riwayat of holding the hands in prayer and shows every single one is weak or has a problem and which is another fascinating discussion because it goes to show that the purpose of prayer could never have been never have been where you place your hands because otherwise this would have been such a um an emphasized point but yet the prophet

sallallahu alaihi didn't emphasize it and that's why one of the transmissions in the maliki school is if you do fold your arms however they come together there is no set manner in how to do it and this is why the great legend of uh the school of medina and the master of you know a huge hafiz of hadith in fact the largest scholar of hadith in his day and age in the western world by western world we mean west from central to west africa and spain

and portugal was ibn abdulbar and in his book alka he states that um you know he says man um he says that you can you can do months that you can do subtle or he says and it's interesting sudden there is no hadith or there are but some weak hadith so here you have in the school of medina a clear sunnah but it doesn't have a hadith and the hadith is not deemed to be the sunnah so this is a fascinating discussion it's uh it's always interesting and it's

intriguing how many people are unaware of these discussions because they haven't maybe they haven't read them or they haven't studied them but these are not hidden discussions they are very well known in the books of us right so i love your person i love you too samuel that's a a unique name i must say so shakaran for that there's an urdu poet he says

[Laughter] says that he says there is something you see when you translate it doesn't have the same effect because he's basically saying there is something about what you say otherwise this word wouldn't have reached this far but because in in order the word bat is used for all those things it has an extra suave feature to it suave meant there all right so um samuels

have been watching your videos for quite a while and i'm really enjoying it your way of thinkings and different so modern and different from other mufti's the way you carry your personality is just amazing well shukran and much love to you it takes one to to no one and as it has been said that the souls are intertwined people the souls are connected so let's uh

somebody said javed ramadi's recent controversy i'm unaware of javed ramadi's recent controversy do do tell me what is the issue i would like to know and see just as we're about to begin the most important things jamil talking says mufti [Laughter] is fart can invalidate the voodoo

is it is it man tell me man [Laughter] yes unfortunately it is man it is it is what it is [Laughter] you know i would say that on these things please do not become ocd was never meant to be an ocd discussion it was meant to be something calm the way i see it when i do like the hadith mentions that when he when the person washes the let's

say their arms or their hands can be something like a sin or something that misses you people translate in many ways doesn't actually mean sin but i mean it's it's taken on that meaning of them but also errors or just things which really ought to miss you but you have them and i if this is how i when i'm doing i will see it as negativity you see you wash away negativity leaves you and you you're in a more positive

state that's how i would see it and don't become ocd over these things don't become like oh my god did i break my oh my god did i you know because this is this is a it's a it's a it's a bummer as they say in arabic it's a it's a calamity because people get obsessed and it becomes like an addiction and negative addiction that they it's the opposite i mean it's linked to addictions ocd they have to dispel it and oh my god i missed a bit and i missed a bit and it becomes a nightmare so do not whatever my nasa to you

is if you suffer from ocd ignore ignore ignore you are commanded and instructed by islamic teachings to ignore it if you think you've missed a bit it doesn't matter allah is not going to it's not going to hurt the deen it's not going to hurt you this bit that you think you've missed you are somebody that is mandated to ignore all waswasa these kind of whispering these ocd insinuations um and if you can't let's say you can't i would say switch to team

do to your mom until your vaswasa gets better until you can cure tirmum is just with a stone you just wipe over like that and done and but i would definitely avoid it like the plague and that's what i would say because once wasa gets in this what's what says the arabic word for ocd it takes root and then it's almost it becomes so difficult to eradicate and it can start to trigger elements of psychosis if just left untreated for so long right

okay bismillah let's take a quick lesson from the quran and i like to do this because i want to show us how the quran is something that we can make a part of our daily lives if we can okay i'm not saying i get the fact not everybody can every day but if we want to we can and it carries meanings which which add value to our everyday lives so i thought look here's here's a surah the surah or surah quraysh whatever you want to call it

very popular surah the ninth surah of from from the end and it's something that most muslims have memorized okay um most people know it now it's called title surah quraish and we know what it's speaking about it's speaking about ilav

is the comfort the the kind of familiarize the the comfortable familiarity from alifa to to kind of get to to harmonize with something where you get the word ulfa which also is like a harmonious harmony or love that allah saying is bringing our attention to the comfort of quraysh and you think

that the journeys that they set out on during the summer caravan and the winter caravan allah says that let them turn to worship whilst at this house which and here it means at the haram worship who allah nahum in minhov who has safeguarded them from fear and allah has also kept them nourished fed them now this is speaking primarily

about quraish and their travels but you see the thing about the quran is it will give you a meaning to your life with what you bring what you bring to it as you read it that by extension what about you what about us look at all the comforts i mean just think about it for a while you see here were a people in a valley that were deserted but yet they could go hundreds of miles in a caravan where when roads

roads when these kind of ways that they had were so unstable and security was was just a hit and miss phenomenon yet allah kept them safe think about you when you are going to work every day many people they may commute i know because of the lockdown people have been working from home which in and of itself is an even greater number think about it you get out of bed you sit down you start working

people who are commuting they in traffic and doing and think about it we switch into autopilot so people and that's just the way the brain works we switch into autopilot and we're driving we're not even thinking we're thinking about something else yet the unconscious mind is driving and allah is keeping you safe most times you know a whole lot maybe there's an unfortunate exception most times you get you arrive safe and sound

you can't even remember the journey we're like whoa okay am i there already and the same thing when you're back indulging in this decorum of of of safety and of these amenities that we have going on the road parking whether it's vehicles whether it's property whether it's assets think about it stability and especially where many of us are watching this

law and order now crimes do happen but there is still a substantial amount of law and order people are not just looting in the streets people you see there are countless disasters that when we're not considering because they don't happen [Laughter] and it's a mindset that's all it is you bring it back in bring it home allah says

that was those people quraish they returned to the kaaba let them worship there you return home just some gratitude you know shukran alhamdulillah a little charity to help someone a little salah a person it's a few minutes but at gratitude these things change your life absolutely let me tell you something in psychology you know in psychological studies people there's been studies where

um where people competing in sports between silver medalists and bronze medalists and you'd now if i was to ask you who do you think at the end of that would be much happier who do you think if let's say you there was we did this we competed and you took away silver and such and such took away bronze the intuitive response is the person who takes away silver but studies have shown that no no no

people who take away silver often end up being less happy than people who take bronze and you think well that doesn't make any sense but what does the hadith say you see and this is people of question but it's transmitted as a hadith that you see look at those that if you are for for gratitude that look at those who are less fortunate because it's perspective not at those who have more now you pause that hadith and you come

back to this silver and and bronze you see the silver medalist because he or she is so close to the gold they feel damn like i missed out like i came second nobody remembers the second they only remember the first who's the second man on the moon it's only neil armstrong we all know so you see to them there's this damn you know i came so close

but the bronze you see who are they closer to yes you could say to the silver but they're closer to the person who came forth and they think yeah alhamdulillah i i made it in i could have been out there you see it's perspective we are social creatures we judge by our circumstances and surroundings so keeping that in mind i thought i'd share that and it's always good to just remember at times that all the things that we do take for granted and this is me and everyone and just

if anything yeah a little something to give back give forward right so let's come to your you can also go live when mufti shares a link i will share a link later on um let me just check some of these

all right now right i'm not sure what some of these i've missed some of these comments whilst i was speaking i'm really interested to read quran being a christian so could you please give me one quran signed by you so that i can read and treasure it with me i will keep it clean and respected samuel may allah god bless you you reach out to me i will have a quran

sent to you i cannot i don't have the audacity to sign the quran honestly i've always i've you know people who know me from when i first set off to study in the mid late 90s as just a teenager i'd always had this this this view of the quran that i can never i can't write on it i i can't mark it with things i can't do that people used to color in it people would um you know make all kind of mark especially when i did hif as well i

memorized the quran and so during memorization people would kind would leave marks they would do things kind of scribble they would because it becomes a an everyday book you're working with but i couldn't i couldn't and i before i even began i remember going through the um there's the guidelines of kurtobi because i went to damascus first and studied there for about a year and a half and then went to studied and memorized the quran in pakistan so first i was in syria now i had read imam kurtobi he was a great maliki legend in the introduction

to his tafsir he has this section on um the kind of the propriety issues the the kind of how the um the adap and etiquettes of treating the quran as a muslim and he he had listed many of these things don't never use it as a pillow don't put books on top of it don't do things like and right throughout my madrassa years i was always very even till today i'm very vigilant of you know i see sometimes people put the quran and they put things on top i just go and just gently like

i'll just put it on top um so i've always had that so i cannot and i would um i would implode as a being if i thought i had the audacity to sign the book of allah but i will uh buy one for you and have it sent to you you message me inshaallah i'll instagram me instagram so i usually i'm quite quick on instagram

let's see what are the questions um mufti what do you think of dr abdullah galadari's work he is he is researching the intertextual links between quran and bible thought you might like it i've not come across his works but that sounds incredibly interesting do please share that with me if you can i'm very interested um

definitely that seems um something very because you know often we don't realize that the vacuum sorry vacuum the we assume a vacuum in which islam came and it didn't it came in a context nothing exists in a vacuum and it's only when we start to appreciate the the historicity of what was going on in arabia and and this is the beautiful thing

about islam let me tell you something you see it caters for people in all levels and you whatever whatever level you are approaching it with it is there for you you could be someone that says look i um want to um i just want to pray and that's all i wanna want to do and i just want to do rituals great it's there for you on that level somebody says look i want to learn a bit about it but i'm not interested in um this kind of deep academic approach

towards things for me it's more i just want to get on with my life i want to live but i'll learn certain things about islam i want to be a better human being which we should all be trying to do and that's wonderful and the quran and islam is there for that and then some people would be well actually i want to learn and some people will be that at a level where i want a deeper much more encompassing context to everything that's going on and it will provide you these wonderful gems and things will start to fall in place and you'll think wow

now it makes sense to me and you see and and that's and there may be people like i said who that's not for them and that's fine as well if a person doesn't want to do that they don't need to islam is not here to academize everyone turn everybody into these kind of academics it's not about that it's about being a good human being but it has this wondrous aspect to it if you want to let me give you an example that look people often speak about the the

the sharia rulings of let's say which was the judeo christian or especially the the mosaic law of enough sub-nafs that a sulphur saw an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth now this um this ruling now i have got separate videos on what i call trajectory hermeneutics which within the maliki school is and hanafi's had this a bit and the humbly school had it as well but they were kind of conflicted the maliki school were really the developers of this and

they expanded on it the most so they had a concept called masala mursala which in which was where the sharia mandates that you that you provide rulings that reflect the day and age so for example and they have a lot of these so six six seven hundred years ago uh the great maliki legend which almost sounds like brazilian abu qasim al-burjali who was from north west africa is the great sheikh of his time he had given the fatwa with a group of other scholars like hadju and many of the scholars that were there that the

punishments had changed because his day and age had changed so this is well before modernity uh it's going about 700 years ago and he said that the hadood had changed in his day and age to reflect financial penalties because they seemed to be the more apt thing for his age and then for centuries there's a discussion and people practice it and and and the same thing happened in the east with the ottomans suleiman solomon the magnificent he's called kanuni because he said he he said that the the hadood that the sharia wants us to substitute them to other penalties like imprisonment and fines and stuff like

that and i've got videos on that you can watch that it's called explaining this and reading from the books when they say it it's called trajectory hermeneutics and can the change over time but let's go back to these which in the quran mentions that we had written in it in the torah that an enough star a life for a life an eye for an eye

that this you see this verse which is reflecting the mosaic law people may say you see we're reading it today and you're thinking people think ah look ah islam oh islam is being barbaric but they're not understanding it with its context it didn't come in a vacuum you have to go back to the time of the prophet and then before so look at you and i we are in a day and age let's say 2021 now many things in our

world today are a consequence of what of the world wars you and i weren't there present in the world wars but many things worldwide including the united nations and all of these kind of human rights declarations and all of these things that have become cemented as the daily mantra of our lives are a consequence of the world wars but imagine a thousand years from today or 600 years from today all that history got wiped out and somebody was just looking at your

notes and my notes but they don't they or they've chosen to not read about the world wars and they wouldn't then understand how did things happen like so okay there was a shortage of even sociological things there was a shortage of let's say people sorry i'm just seeing all right sorry i was just seeing this uh link it just mentioned about facebook struggling with some okay so that should be back now let's say

um of of of factory workers in britain so they bring people over from the commonwealth which is how let's say my parents and many other people's parents migrated now a person who doesn't have that history may wonder i wonder how these people go maybe these were the indigenous people they let's say they don't read any of the history they only have my notes and they think well ah so this is how and let's say i speak of things like all right we're going to start the academic studies in um

we're going to start the academic studies in september so people think okay he came up with it but actually there's an entire system of holidays and things which date back to harvesting and stuff like this so let's go to the time of the prophet you had something known as which just translates as the days of the arab arabs but it actually meant to the great wars that the arabs undertook and this huge and these date back to something like a hundred to a hundred plus years before the prophet sallallahu alaihi

and and so when the prophet is growing up and the people around him they are growing up with the backdrop of all of these stories in the background not stories events which are being transmitted as stories so let me give you an example there is the great war known as haribol versus now this [Laughter] this is a drama in and of itself [Laughter] right let's uh if you want drama

you see there's so much to say about this but okay let me give you a quick snapshot first and i might give some details a snapshot this was a war that lasted for 40 years is from the ayamal arab 40 years right and it's named al haribal basus and basus you think well what is versus is the name of a lady and no it's not a romantic kind of like a like troye it's not that kind of war

um for some reason uh right so it's not one of those what it is it's actually over a camel there you go you wanted romance so and it's amazing that the the events that transpire in this story because it just begins with it's not actually over a camel it's over this kind of rivalry and this ego and there's this there's this king by the name of khuli and this is actually in the arabian peninsula and he's from uh arabia and

uh which is from this tribe here so the point is he's from this tribe he becomes the king but he is quite ruthless and he does all these kind of wars and people don't like him and but you know some do and here's this brother that they called the asylum and and this is another thing how he's known as mahal and um and he's the first person to write lengthy old these kind of arabic qasida's kasai these long poems first person to do it was him he's known as zeer salim they call him zeer because he's just

it comes from zeeran nisa because he's just love women and the term those of you that have heard it he was just an absolute playboy and just just spent his time in booze and women that's it always drunk always with women and that was just his his thing and he was quite he was very talented as in he had a lot of talent he was very brave he was in fact the stories of his brother trying to have him killed off because he thinks he has been hitting on his wife whose name is jalila and he hadn't i mean whether he had or

not i don't know but um so he tries to come up with all these things that oh i need this i need you to we need the milk of a lioness to cure this and we need this and there's all these kind of epics where he goes out and he actually gets it done and he's meant to get killed but he keeps coming back this huge but yet once he comes back and does his duty he'll just be drunk with alcohol and just surrounded by women and as far as the good life goes and so what happens is koleb he asks his wife this jalila who's meant

to be one of the most beautiful women in the time uh who has some issues with him she he asks her once that who is the most hmm who's the top dawn of the arabs he's like don't say my name straight away i'll let you take a breath or two before you say so she comes out with her brother's name just us so that's his brother-in-law now so naturally is it hurts the ego man this one so he just let it be he let it slide i let this one slide man so then what happens is after

whatever some while um jaleela is trying she's saying this provocatively by the way because she and her brother just sass they don't like him they don't like this guy kuleb and he's the king but they don't like him and whilst they they have this kind of bickering and gossiping and you know backbiting kind of sessions going on what the aunt comes to stay with with her brother and the aunt's name is basus so this is versus she turns up and you know like a good old aunt she comes to add all the masala that was missing

she goes oh that clave needs to be you know blah blah blah you know why you need to push this button push that button so what happens is a while later jaleela um ends up having a conversation and she provokes collab again she says oh yeah yeah but my just us my brother he's just like on another level so he's had enough so what he does is when he leaves the home he sees that besos the aunt the aunt that's visiting she's there and and she's brought with her a camel and the camel's got a um

a facility in arabic we call it a a baby camel i'm not sure what the technical term is so it's got this uh this uh this infant camel with it and the infant camel is just kind of going around on the fields so what he does is he takes out his arrow and he just shoots it and he and he says well he thinks he thinks what are you going to do about it so he leaves it he goes obviously people are triggered but they just they choose to ignore and he is quite ruthless kulib so what happens is he comes back to them and provokes them he says hey so he says

so what's happening with the says what so what's with the dead camel so they know that he's trying to provoke him so and they're very witty so they say well oh yeah we're grateful now check this out perspective they say we're actually grateful um because you've actually sped up the milk of the mother for us so hey more milk for us perspective perspective so he thinks

he so he says he says so more milk for you so what he does is he the the her camel versus camel he shoots it where the other is and it kind of ruins cause the arrow the spear whatever it is it goes through and it damages the other so it's it's useless either going to die or even if it doesn't it can't give milk so at this stage their tribe the these people they they they're all ultimately related but here they're known as the bakarin um they they don't know what to do so they're

trying to keep a cool mind just as is saying look let it be forget it we don't want to fight him we don't want to do this we don't want to do that and the source is like nah you know she's she's really adding the masala she's saying oh my god what kind of a useless nephew are you only if only there were real men here ha ha if only and so she started saying all this poetry you know back then the ants when they would kind of whine and moan they would do it in poetry so she just say like a a 50 line poem wrap her way through it so eventually

there's some other altercations happen and just us kills collab he kills the king and it's amazing in this story you had zer salim who is a just not a playboy he's like somebody who's he's very talented but he's he's just withering away in luxuries of life and just indulgent extremely indulgent and this hits him so much that people say that if only there was somebody that would take avenge the death of khalip

and kalei before he dies he uh apparently kind of writes on some rock that do not kind of compromise with them and so zeer salin turns into this ruthless warrior i mean he was already a warrior i mentioned the stories that they used to send him to do all this and he wages this relentless campaign of bloodshed i mean he's from the taliban they tried against the baccarin relentless and this goes on no matter how many people try to intervene there's a very

famous arab known as al-harith ibn albert who's also related to the bakariyin but he he's one of the major don like they say one of the most kind of uh heroes of ancient arabs and so is this one of them as well but harith is meant to be this kind of huge legend who's older than zeus but he he kind of keeps neutral and he doesn't pick a side and in fact you know this is where that famous statement comes because remember when i mentioned that kulaip kills the camel of basus so jasas initially had said look we

don't want to kill we don't want a war we don't want to fight him but what i'll do is i'll kill his camel which is called which doesn't happen and he ends up eventually just killing him and it triggers this war but when hari sivan albert this this kind of other hero this super mega kind of warrior of that tribe is asked by zeid salim are you with us or are you against us and his famous statement which till today is used in arabic he said that he says this war la nakatali fiha he said that the camel like i don't have

a single camel in in this war naka is a female camel and jamal is a male camel because basus's camel was a naka that was killed and jason was supposed to kill that jamal so he says look i don't have a camel in this matter and he says i'm just going to keep neutral and he does up until eventually silent because the asylum is on this rampage and it goes on for 40 years bloodshed and bloodshed and nobody and the amount of um

offers and they ask harith this this other warrior that i mentioned to mediate and he tries because he's this huge figure in ancient arabia and he says to him look take and this is interesting because one of the things he says to him is don't the arab say he says the arabs that he says the arabs have said that a soul for a soul he says look we'll give you the person responsible we'll give you one person you just you can have him what is this you've thousands have been killed orphans upon

orphans have been left and widows and and it's going on for years like let's say this is 10 years into this battle 10 whole years like imagine going back 10 years in your own lifetime where you were 10 years forward imagine 20 years back 2 and you're only halfway and they when hare's ibn abad said to him that look haven't the arab said that a soul for a soul will give you the person will give you a person that's responsible these are just innocent people you're just killing and he said he said the arabs never said this

he said this is what the jews have said this ain't the law of the arabs now it's interesting you see because this war goes on for 40 years and eventually everybody is aged and people have died in the in on mars and people have and everybody's tired and right in the very i mean near the end joins in as well because uh his son boujee gets killed and he although he tries to keep calm they insult him because he thinks that now that you've killed my son you're going to call it quits and when they tell him that he killed your son

if they say just slit his throat and he says may allah have mercy on my son that he at least did sula between these two tribes he kind of did he got brought them together and they say no they say do you know what he commented he said this is for bishop he said this is for the shoelace of kulep like basically that's the part that you've wiped out the shoelace and this as you can imagine it obviously he lost he lost the plot uh at this point harith who was an old man

but he was still a super warrior he enters the fight as well and it's an and it goes on and people are massacred and goes on for years and eventually even is killed right at the end and it's this is an interesting plot twist that his own the collab son his wife at the time was pregnant she she gives birth to a boy who grows up with the uncle jason's thinking that's his father only later on in life to realize this guy murdered my father so he makes a plot with zero salim to assassinate um his own father just us and thereby

bringing eventually after 40 years this war it finally begins to simmer and quietens and then just dies a death and right at the very end you see when you and zev salim himself he uh he's known as muhammad as well that's his kind of he has a a a name he goes by a title and he then just goes off and there's different stories uh some say he's just kind of sent off to some kind of remote place and he has two slaves and and they and they execute him they've had enough of him so these two slaves decide to execute him

and and they write this and he says to them he knows they're gonna execute him so he says you know what he says okay but you gotta give this poem back there's a poem i want you to just say this and it's a very simple line he just says uh man so now this it doesn't really make any sense it just means who will tell the people the two tribes about muhammad

may god praise you and so they say all right fine and they go back and they they kill him and they tell this is the the one who went on this ruthless rampage for 40 years and then they tell his family oh he died a natural death we buried him and he said they say he added poem and the poem was his niece kuleb's daughter she's like one of these oracles in ancient arabia

so she catches out and says that aha that's wrong she says do you know that's an incomplete poem and she completes it and she says that that has ended or remains dead or has come to become dead lying like laid out in in the desert lila

that don't let these two slaves go until they are executed so she is this kind of article anyway an interesting story and those who are into arabic but my point was that you had this countless relentless war going on killing of people and nobody would just stop because they he would say no now this was the backdrop and these were the figures that that create the landscape of arabia following after a few generations in which islam arises so at that time it then

instates that jewish law the mosaic law that and in the torah allah says that waffiha we have written an enough and allah says that the person who has been um if the person's been killed wrongly then his his family have they have certain rights and but they are not allowed to transgress but you now all of a sudden this starts to make so much more sense that like you understood it before anyway but now

it fits in to the greater landscape so i i got distracted sharing that stuff got distracted sharing that story but it's it's good you know it's uh these things are known as the history of the arabs uh and it's about the wars but they they are interesting because they give you a backdrop to what was going on and in the cl the climate in which islam then arises um nora parish shukran much love for the

super chat god bless you do you have a favorite english quran translation i don't um so uh and it's been a considerable while that i haven't um [Music] i haven't read an english translation when i was doing my hift of the quran i did read abdullah yusuf ali's translation of the quran it was in classical english but then he does have a commentary at the bottom since then a lot of people so many translations have been out and this is

me going back to the late 90s um i'm pretty sure didn't um aisha bully and her husband abdul haq buli also i'm pretty sure they issue published a translation of the quran as well in a very um a kind of very uh it has a a fluency and flow a natural fluency and flow to the translation if i recall correctly but there's been there has i mean there has been a lot i mean i'm sure you'll probably know a lot better trans

translations than me to be honest right somebody said use the oh scorpio and use the gracious sure that sounds good um the study quran maybe yeah sure the study quran i've heard some great things about that right right yeah and somebody said look the background i think is interesting it helps to inform what comes later it does because when somebody had asked earlier on about the biblical backdrop or finding i don't know

connecting the quran with the bible in certain things you see this is what i'm talking about because you then start to understand if you study the history as well oh that makes sense now why did the arabs do this ah that's why they began it uh musti check out shukran much love for the super chat check out shoka translation of a few surahs very good um take rhyme into account but he's not done the whole quran okay i will ashoka turawa uh please check that out as well people i see saracen

saying i've missed the super chat let me go back see when i was going through the story i wasn't mostly do you believe the new cold uh between the nato alliance and russia and china if such political climate comes to being how will muslims be affected will they be split and drug into two sides yeah it's an interesting question interesting question um i don't i don't think the future is hard or hot wars if we can call them that i don't think

that's the future i think cold wars are the future until one just reigns supreme as america did over russia and naturally with with such alliances let's say russia china um against many of the other western alliances where do muslim countries stand i guess they would be divided i guess they would be divided um but um you see this is a world of economics

okay as the famous urdu thing about you know it's money speaks people that it's not you see people don't care because they don't see them of any worth it's only people who can contribute something significant that sit at that table and this is why muslim countries many muslim countries have incredible talent but there is a lot of corruption and and

they need to overcome that and inshallah life they can they can produce some great you know they can contribute to the history of human civilization so and because there's great people great thinkers great scientists great physicists great you name it people that have emerged from these uh third world countries from pakistan from india from some of the arab countries but they're just so there's a lot going on and it's true it's not fair they've been

put there in that position because of the past but right now what's stopping them this is the thing because you see i'm not saying that it that yes there's historical reasons for why this has happened like colonialism it is because of that that it set things up in a certain way that they are disadvantaged but if ever in life you are presented with the crossroad to choose your mentality

that of a victor or a victim always choose the victor mentality see just crying about something isn't going to help it it isn't going to fix it i remember learning something years ago and well i know since i learned it i used it it's probably been about 12 13 years ago i remember coming across this in a lesson and it said that in life that you will said when something happens something unpleasant untowards happens there's only two things either you can

do something about it or you can't if you can do something about it then stop crying and do something and if you can't then crying isn't it's only going to add to the crisis so and by crying i mean whining and moaning and choosing the victim mentality it is you see the battleground is in the and people have to rise above and i and i think in many ways muslims ought to um be like we have the philosophy we have the

belief we have the faith to want to be a model for humanity when you think about it look i think it was um was it burma or one of the countries that said it was going to choose its selected i don't know if they lived through with it but they said that they were going to or maybe it wasn't burma but they said they were going to select the gdp to be the the well-being the happiness of the country now how happy are our citizens and

think about that that's such an amazing beautifully explained um point that look it's why should we judge our country by the the kind of by the by the income the outcome by the gdp by why should we judge it in monetary value we want to judge it by happiness now i know that you see now that a message may not resonate in in a global economic structure but i still i commend it because it's looking at humanity in a way that's about you see here

in many of these countries human rights are incredibly important but this the defining figure the defining point is always economical and it's about you know well everything's made quite um politely cold so it's about right being accountable and being this and the pound and this and what and i understand there's reasons and there's good reasons to do that but it's not about trying to serve and i think that's such a an important thing

serving humanity right let me mufti what would you do if you won the lottery [Laughter] i don't know that would be interesting what would i do um i don't think i'd go totally mad to be honest i don't think i would i've never been someone that's very uh money obsessed i i do believe in in being entrepreneurial and making as much

money as you possibly can um without i mean without compromising too much i do believe in that but i'm not so obsessed about things like that i'm just as a person i'm not and my friends who know me would know me like that um and i genuinely like even when i make investments and i do things i just see things as once i've invested i think of it as gone and then if it brings back some if it reaps then but that's how that's been my mentality so i don't know i'd hope i i wouldn't lose the plot

right okay so right okay what on earth was that okay was that the fun i think i've got this um not right i can't see it that's okay anyway right let's move on people i did want to cover i don't know whoa all right let's cover a brief lesson which is quite important

oh this is uh i'll have this clip out by the end of the week on swarazil in the unconscious mind right people think of this verse right now this is a verse an amazing verse that we all know right

that is the grace of god the favors of god he gives them to whom he wills it's an amazing verse you know incredibly positive yeah now and we ask allah to really shower upon us all his countless blessings and to make us be appreciative of them but you see i want to show a different permutation

let's take a look at these verses and then i'm going to go to um a briefcase study this is from suratul madathira okay from verse 11 now this doesn't have to be solely about walid but people many people feel that these verses were they reflect him as the primary um [Music] subject of discussion but just as an

example using him um as an example for others so okay although and you can see allah saying that let these people be let such a person be who i created and i showered him with countless gifts and gifts and monies or money and wealth and wabanina shahudah and offspring and especially in that society where uh people boasted of strong of tribal kind of warriorship and he had three at least three incredibly

prominent sons who were many amongst them khalid bin walid the great warrior of arabia who later on um after fatah makkah embraces islam and and and comes to have the title the drawn sword of god but he was the son so you can see this is the father things have been made easy for him life in life

this condemnation of his stubborn hubris that he has this stubbornness that devastation that this person has ruined everything he's basically done in that he kind of he actually delved on this he actually thought about this so hard like he wasn't somebody that just just didn't pay attention he did pay attention that's the problem and then he he kind of planned around it

damn him what a plan that he came out with some another he used reason so and was disappointed turned away and considered himself to be something mighty considered istikbar she comes from the word kabir which is big like allahu akbar now is thick about is to seek something to be big on the tenth form in the arabic uh wasn't in the arabic form so istifa al so to seek something is thick bar to

seek any thought and look and what does he say that he says he said this is but just magic that is being conveyed a tradition in bashar this is but the word of man that you know this it's just ruining and damnation for this person and

you can see right i thought to myself hubris this is what i want to discuss and especially in if you take a look at the definition because it is about excessive pride or self-confidence but from the greek tragedy pride or towards uh pride or defiance of the gods leading to nemesis now why

those of you that don't know somebody who was much older than the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam he was from he was one of the saiyans of quraysh right one of the leaders of quraish he was from uh i think he he he he meets the lineage of the prophet with mura they meet um the ancestor but he's from quraish and he was incredibly incredibly known as in his day and age clearly a millionaire he had a lot of wealth ranging from in

the hijas to the te hammer in all these he had a lot of fields he was invested commercially in in a lot of assets in trade incredibly successful but that's not the point because you might say well musti so what that's true so what he was an incredibly righteous man see this is where it gets interesting he was somebody that was symbolic

of a good cause he was known in jahiliyyah you know how the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was titled in jahiliyyah assad the trustworthy the the truthful that when he was a young man you know years before prophethood he was titled these like people this is how they saw the prophet

guess what his title was people actually saw him as this just justice not even that he himself was the embodiment of justice he endeavored to assist people where he could quraysh was struggling after the there was uh flood damage to the kaaba he said i will solely take up the entire cost what i can to rebuild the kappa he did he was a devout individual and he was

somebody more than just being devout was committed to the concern of people and he um on several occasions he would buy the you know the kisa the cloth of the kaaba he would buy that if he found people were in let's say some kind of desperation uh he would assist them and he was somebody that looked at as that man is not only wise he is just you know he's grounded he's got money he hasn't driven him crazy he's got wealth

he's got status and he actually gives forward to humanity what a guy it's true though you know giving is living and this is what this man symbolized so what went wrong you see this can be one of the greatest

traps of circumstances sometimes in life the problem is in many ways we are the good guys we are let's say by our perspective worthy you will see many a and this happens with religious figures it will happen with clerics it will happen with people that have been given any kind of there is a a worthiness because and in many cases they are doing things i mean

sometimes they're just rinsing other people's you know they're just on the back of others but you know on many occasions these people are actually doing that and then comes prophethood but not to you [Laughter] it ah see this is the ego you got to understand that what he says you know the verse of the quran that lola nuzzillah

could it not have been revealed on a man who is great from these regions and it's he himself said he never had an issue with the prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi people didn't have an issue with the prophet he felt people felt the prophet was a trustworthy person they may not agree with his mission but they didn't have a characteristic issue with him he felt in many ways do i not seriously do i not deserve i have given

a lifetime in the servitude to man do i not deserve some something or either there's nothing you see this this is it because sometimes if there's nothing we can still get by the problem is coming second place not that he's second in profit but this is the problem you see in a psychological study people were asked um sorry in a psychological study people who were fired

from a job to realize that that's because the factory or the place had substituted them with machines let's say certain conveyor belts and all these kind of they've they've had the whole process automated were less hurt than somebody who was fired to learn that another person had been given his job were substantially more hurt to realize that actually another person took that

but this other people in a similar situation if they learned that oh it became automated and a machine is doing that job we're less hurt you see because nothing isn't as hurtful as something sometimes so he it really hurt him that how can this be that i have done all of these things i am i'm a great i'm aladdin i'm just i'm justice the embodiment have i not spent decades

helping people financially giving in charity rebuilding the kaaba clothing they used to the kisa of the cab on several occasions defiance of the gods in greek tragedy see excessive pride this self-confidence that am i not i'm so worthy this is arabic and this is the thing that you see it goes back to

allah saying that that is yeshua it is the grace of god he gives it to whom he wills so there's so many lessons to learn that when you see when walid turned against the prophet he didn't do it because when he says they ask him can you comment on the quran and he comments on it he comments on the quran he says that he listens to it and he says

it's when speaking about it he says that let me see if i've got it here oh no or may not have it here right so he actually says when he reads the quran he says that and he says it has a unique style and a halawa and a sweetness

it's something that is supreme and nothing can reign supreme over it and he says all these things until quraysh real he's converted to islam because they ask him is the prophet a madman and he's very is he he's just [Laughter] he's just so he says the prophet isn't a madman because he knows that if i say he's mad i'm just being a hater and the prophet isn't mad so why should i call him so they say is the prophet a kind or an araf one of these people that kind of like cl into their clay like a clip like

one of these fortune tellers is he one of them and he says no he says he's not because he knows you see he is this just person that i ain't gonna lie so this and he says and the quran is magnificent so people think he's gonna embrace islam but it hurts him that why is it not to me because am i not more deserving than he calls the prophet ibn abi kapshad and then the non-muslim uh quraysh people would call him that it's just a name like they had this name for him it's it's not in itself derogatory but

it just means the son of this person but they would refer to him as that and he says that am i not more deserving than him so so people think he's going to embrace islam and he refuses and the quran mentions another he used reason he thought about it he put his mind to it he got obsessed with it and then when they asked him so what is it then if you don't believe in it he said well he said it's magic but he didn't mean by magic in the sense that the prophet was

bringing up things from thin air because when they said to him magic he said he said he said don't you see that it splits a man from his wife and what he meant was because if you looked at it people who were embracing the faith were separating from the family so in his own way he he keeps this position of oh i'm still just

you know i'm not this i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna be a hater even though he is hating but i'm not gonna be publicly a liar i'm gonna say things that still have a kind of reality to them about i'm gonna say well that's a magic that you're splitting them with you see so but it is this hubris this pride and it is true because it's it's really a lesson for all of us that we at times it can happen to the best of people that they can feel that they are deserving and you'd never expect it in the path of

somebody who is doing good but yet many a religious folk many are spiritual folks many a humanitarian have kind of gone astray by hubris may allah protect us all and keep us all grounded and humble because it is it is something i i wanted to share that with you guys because it is quite profound a lot of people speak about walid but they don't mention this or i've not heard the way this connect they just mentioned he was this great rich leader of courage he was a nemesis of the prophet and he was against the prophet but it just adds

so much more flavor that you start to realize wow it comes alive in front of you so okay moving on people uh go globe shukran much love for the super chat dearly appreciated i uh where i was just trying to see the let me just bring this up

where are we where oh we okay i was just trying to see how much how much time has gone by as well all right um okay there is a super chat i just missed all right here are rodriguez excessive facial here for a female um surgery to remove yeah so this is an issue that um as you can imagine like every issue in islam the scholars have disagreed but you will find that the

malikia and the hanafiya from the schools of law were very clear in women can remove all this facial hair and things like like excessive hair and they can make their eyebrows they can do these kind of things it doesn't especially the malikia were very clear so they say so you'll find um both in the in the kabir and zavira i believe as well so you'll find the super

um believe both discussing that when the hadith about the woman uh the prophet cursing these people was not to do with this and it was to do with they say women who were in a state in a state of ida a period of mourning following the death of a husband and it was just to condemn that because it was causing social issues and the hanafiya and kitab bring a narration from uh about removing here from the face so these two schools are definitely very uh on the lenient side and you'll find

abulidal bhaji as well from the malikia once again we'll use references and other scholars will as well that when there was a companion whose nose was cut off during some battle or something he was um and somebody struck him with a sword and they had cut off his nose now in the time of the prophet so he would wear a golden nose i've always wondered i wonder how he would make it stick i mean maybe they had something that tied it around or i don't know but uh he would wear a golden nose

and obviously gold because it's malleable and you could design it and it won't kind of um erode and corrosion and stuff like this but you see the golden nose would serve no purpose at all it's only aesthetic so the prophet didn't never condemned him never criticized him for that and this is it's rulings like this that abu ali d'alberji then expand on seeing that this is uh purely aesthetic values and that if a person it can

it can aid the it can add value to their life in terms of their confidence and things like this then they then this is what these schools say and many today of the ulama from from egypt as well in other countries the darlista al missouri and many of these all amount will all concur with that ruling and also a point worth noting which many people ignore the hadith they used to say that but the prophet cursed these women that those who uh trim the eyebrows namisadas mutton misat and those who

with the teeth and those who extend the hair and those who do tattoos and and even on tattoos the malikia you'll have people discussing it you'll have amongst them uh zanati who will speak about the maliki's giving according to some malakis not being haram they will say it wasn't haram and also arguing in line of that as well and stating that the barber women have have always used tattoos now and they said that this was either to do with the women in the ita in that

period of mourning or it was to do with those who did it with a an intent to mutate now what's interesting is those people who do take this hadith literally and very harshly to the letter saying that um women who trim the eyebrow and that's their world view if they want to take that that's absolutely fine it's the perspective the faith the pro we can't impose things on one another these you know if you believe in something that's your belief you don't need to do it but you can't go around imposing on somebody else why don't you do it well they might follow the maliki method they

might follow the hanafi mother they might follow the ulama of allah's heart they might follow see it's your faith and akam are only to you or you may advise if people ask you say well i've heard this from a teacher you know it's up to you but you can't impose on others that's that's absolutely out of order you're not trained to do that i mean you're not allowed to impose any way but you're not even really allowed to teach it unless you're trained you can only just say oh i heard such and such now something that people an important thing that people often miss is the hadith mentions about those women who straighten the teeth

and they file it and straighten it but today then braces would cover that ruling because braces for the most part just have an aesthetic value and they often straightening the teeth with them that's all you're doing and sometimes they have to file down some of the teeth yet you see because braces are ubiquitous most of uh i i'm not aware maybe they declare that haram as well then because that's what the hadith says about the women that file the teeth and the reason they would file them is if you're going to say it's for aesthetics

then that's exactly what most braces do today most people their teeth are just fine as in from a functionality perspective it's just they don't look good so they need to and you do get exceptions where people it's it's troublesome for them but in most cases it's just aesthetic value and i'm not aware of ulama really being harsh against braces so that's food for thought um

right here rodriguez shook him for the super chat i gotta check the the time so right um you know shut up should i leave that i tell you what i'll take very briefly and i'll leave it for another day um but the difference between bashar and insane according to some people there's no difference both terms are used in the quran according to some people there is a difference so people like abdul sabou shaheen and many others will argue that

bashar is the the it's the generic so it's the the genus in that sense so they will argue that bashar are all homonyms and insane is homo sapien so and they use verses from the quran where allah says that i am creating a bashar basharan which makes it means a bashar so the fact that you think a bashar shows like if i said according to that understanding it's saying a type okay so

um but other people may not agree with that that's fine that's uh ubiquitous oh right so something that's very widespread it's everywhere no i haven't actually do send that to me i'm a huge fan of khalid uh super chat below with mufti did you check out robert safia i didn't i will i will do shukran for reminding me uh much love

did i miss any other super chats uh all right uh scene mufti last recommendation is the late professor massimo uh campanini he gave a good lecture on force in islam also wrote about avarose and hegel can you send me that please uh send it to me i'm gonna check this out but just in case i forget i'd appreciate it if you can send it to me um yeah uh i don't know if i

no i can't i was checking if i could no it doesn't let us let me see actually no i was thinking if it could if you can send that to me uh if you are on um just thinking if you are on instagram but if you're not on instagram uh if you can email me or um yeah or yeah just get my you'll get my email i'm sure you will right cool let's all right let's move on people

can we have a hug if we see you in person much love to all of you yeah of course i absolutely cherish you all um i i genuinely i know last week i was speaking about communities and i was saying that we've shifted now to an online community and this in many ways is that community it's this is a community that i'm a part of and you guys are a part of this is we are we have a community it's you know there may not be it may not be connected spatially but through a

virtual space and through these kind of hyperspaces we've got a and the souls the souls are intertwined people they are connected and mufti being a year listening to you i like to extend my thanks i think you are the only muslim globally that has provided this unique platform

you're gonna make me cry oh much love much love i dearly appreciate it um i will email shukra and i appreciate that i saw a video of challenging you to a gin possession debate will you take it up um okay but later on towards the year you know right now i want to focus on a bit of this kind of work i'm trying to get out some meaningful content for people help people kind of with their faith and um yeah maybe give it later on in this year we'll have we did have a very good exchange on bukhari gate um

i just want to focus on this i i've never had an issue in debating people and in fact dare i say i think i have a knack for it and i i think i it's it comes very natural to me and you see but it the nature of debates and is if i'm to be honest they bring out a side in you that is quite um [Music] the under even if at the face of it you're not but the under

the undercurrent is cut throat because it brings that out of even if the if the viewer can't see it but i know what it does to me as a person it brings aside of me that because i it's it's competition you see whether we like it or not the nature of debates is competition i'm just being honest people may say oh it's to establish the truth and all these things and that's nice sounds and i hope it is for the and i'm not saying this really to establish your own truth and it becomes

even if it's friendly but in the moment it gets competitive so i don't mean by that you walk away hating the person you won't like i've had a very good uh debate discussion with shaykh abdul majid before earlier on this year and it was very i i have much respect for him much love for him i did not walk away from that hating i walked away from that loving him but i won't lie in in the debate in the moment in that moment when it's going on it brings aside it it brings back to life a persona within me that it

eve that it is ruthless in trying to to kind of get your point across and sometimes i don't like that i know it all too well it's me and i'm i don't shy away because i know and i i mean i could say in a way and it would come across arrogant but i know my own capacity at dialogical debates and but it brings out a side of you that you think um i want to focus on trying to help people a bit more bring that side out more because these are all within us saintly

and and i'm just being very honest and transparent people probably won't be honest about these things or maybe they would i'm just just laying it out the poet says whosoever wants then let him take flame or take light from this i've set my heart on fire and put it in front of you [Laughter]

yeah so oh shukran for the super chat much love hasp you do and if you drink alcohol in this life the alcohol of heaven is forbidden for you no i don't think that's necessarily don't think it works like that um yeah i wouldn't yeah i wouldn't worry like that i would just focus on you see this was another thing i forgot to mention when i spoke of walid he was somebody that made alcohol haram on himself in in the past and that's interesting you can judge by

that his moral standards so yeah but it's i it doesn't mean that if a person drank alcohol and then they are deprived of it you see these things have harms to them and they can you see it's very volatile the nature of alcohol is it's volatile with many people it may not make them flip but it could it's just volatile that's the thing speaking of community i would love to see even more people on mufti's patreon and discord just throwing it out there

much love nora you're doing it shook around shukran yep people patreon is there if you're interested i'm get it's getting uh more and more active and it's in in my sessions with people so that is the if you want to be a part of the discord group called mindscape and so there's people having discussions sharing things and q a and other things as well true guidance just sending just his love look shukran much love much love

right room on i do listen but i never get to join the live stream much love thoughts on danny boy's debate i haven't watched it i'm being honest i haven't watched it is it worth watching let me know your thoughts and i'll consider it you see hmm

she sent it with stars on facebook i can't see the question can you post the question here you said that somebody sent a question but i can't seem to see i think what's happened is today this streaming software has been playing up with facebook so i think the facebook comments are coming through but maybe some ain't so i'm just trying to check

i can't see the question so clearly if you could post it i'll look out for it all right yep yep okay any thoughts on somebody saying about the debate between danny boy and hardy sultan i haven't watched it i'm not sure if sh is it worth watching let me know

same old it's a waste of time somebody's saying yeah you know i'm not that intrigued i it's that same thing i would press for a debate myself but right now i'm trying to focus on more positive things but then people don't really want to debate me either which is understandable if i was them i wouldn't want to debate me to be honest let's i want to um let's come to here i did have something i thought

people people people let me tell you something an incident between two legends on one hand abu walid the great muslim philosopher jurist the judge of his time the philosopher of his era the man who they call the commentator when it comes to aristotle he brought back to life he resuscitated

the the philosophical works of aristotle and became the conduit that's that served them onto europe aiding it from its uh dark ages to its renaissance the man who stood face to face metaphorically speaking against imam ghazali when imam gazali had unleashed an attack on philosophy and you have to remember philosophy in that day and age included science as well so science mean is the the study of

uh nature and our world and observations and so this in that day and age hikma was that hikmah was the study of nature the study of uh plants botany the study of the the cosmos the study of the cell especially these kind of things put together they did refer to them as hikma and obviously also philosophy as well but as sciences continue to mature through time they tend to kind of branch off and become special specialist [Music] areas

so in his day and age he responded to hazali's philosopher with his um so the half of the philosopher was the incoherence of the philosophers and he replied with his tahaf tahafood the incoherence of the incoherent amazing a legend somebody who if you read his work on in fact i have a video clip on uh avarose if you check it out on youtube i've read through his um his commentary on on plato's republic

where he speaks about andalus in his day and age and this is we're going back almost 900 years yeah where he speaks about it's a shame that women he says of 50 of our society yet people don't you know they don't create opportunities for them to prosper in this and this and this if you read those extracts you would think that's a contemporary writer and yet it was written almost 900 years ago in muslim spain so

this is the man the myth the legend ibn roost the voice of reason allah and in his day and age on in his day and age he you also had much junior to him you had the man the legend of mystical experience the mind who

had tread the path of consciousness and it's amazing and what they call al-kashf that kind of like removing the veil of the dimensions and this so you have these two huge monumental figures and they meet so what's interesting is even a roost for long had you see because he championed the voice

of reason he was never against he was against many of the sufis and he was again many against many of the theologians and against all of because he felt that they were inaccurate in some of their things but he was never against the path of consciousness and even if it wasn't one that he may be championed but and this mystical um experience so when he meets even oddby he is the judge if narutis

and he's wanted to meet him orbeez heard about him he says this is this young man who has had these great mystical experiences and he has treaded this path of consciousness and with just great discoveries so he ignarus was so intrigued and he wanted to meet him for a considerable amount of time so he um and he knew ibn arabi's father even out arabi's father was like almost like a a student to ibn rust and so he told him you have to send your son to me

i need to i need to meet him and this had gone on for a while so on this one occasion his father even audibly sends ibn army to him so even audrey approaches and these two legends meet and when he meets him you see it's as though the conversation

had already taken place and remember what i said about the souls are entwined they are connected when ibn rushed met him he asked him straight away he just said to him he just said to him he just looked at him and said is it or no

you think what what is he just looked at him as yes or no and ibn harubi looks straight at him and he says yes and even the rust lights up he lights up

this you can see the radiance the glow and then ibn aurabi says la no an even rust he becomes tense you see this kind of going into a remote pensive

distraction almost and then even arabi follows it by saying he said in between them the souls are annihilated allah [Music]

that yes no and between them the souls are annihilated what on earth and and you see it is this conversation and this is it and then he just he goes and if naruto says to him he says do come back.

and before he actually goes if naruto says to him see because when he says the souls are annihilated it once again restores hope and i'll explain why in just a moment and then ibn roost says he says this condition this state we have affirmed it it's just we hadn't seen a people who had qualified it yet and he says

he says all praise be to allah that i'm in an era where one of its people a person of that path is in it but not just any person that from the legends the al-fatihin who open the locks of the doors of this path

and all praise be to allah who allowed me to see such a person and he tells him that to come back and it said that ibn arabi goes he's a very he's a very young man at the time maybe in his very late teens possibly uh yeah maybe approaching 20 you in his late teens at the you know at the most he's not he's very young whereas ibn rushd is very senior at that time and even arabic says i was meant to meet him i had made another appointment to meet him and he says i had a dream

and he says in the dream i was there and ibnarus one of the great maliki legends by the way he says he was there and he says and between us all of a sudden was a very faint almost or it was slightly opaque veil very thin but a veil he says i could see him but for some reason he couldn't see me anymore

and then he awoke and he says that i felt that this dream was a sign that maybe ibnarus will not see eye to eye on this matter about this path of consciousness so maybe it's better not to get into that altercation with him so he says i even though i had a meeting an appointment to see him i avoided it and he says and then i was only reunited with him when his body was brought to marakesh

to be buried and it's a it's an it just a mind-blowing encounter of two legendary symbols of two paths this path of pure rational experience and pure conscious experience and how they these paths are then entwined and ibn rushed saying even though he was harsh against some of the other people he said that this is a state that we have affirmed

that we and it's you he said that i i knew it i just hadn't met the right people and in his people have really tried to what was it that he meant with his answer even arabi so look at this so one of the so the backdrop to what he was saying and people may disagree over it was ibn rust had in his mind the question about reason can reason

the path of reason what you have experienced does it affirm that like are we we may be taking different routes but is it we're both it's right isn't it does it like your cash your the the veil being removed does it not just affirm this path of pure reason this was the question in the mind of ibn rust and when he met ibn arabi ibn arabi replied now yes it is but and even arush became so elated ecstatic with joy because this was a man

who spent his life fighting the corner of the voice of reason and then ibn arabi said la and it kind of it took him to a somber depressive almost state that no but then he followed it with this caveat

and between them the souls must encounter now you can take from that what you may but one thing i understand is that in the search of divine truth there is something known as ego death the annihilation of the ego

this concept of annihilating the self fiddler and there is it is with it is not against the voice of reason but yet it is a path that is very experiential and that's why his la the na'am being yes it is not against the voice of reason it only affirms reason but the no being that but it is something that it

must be tasted i can't tell you what an apple tastes like i can just say it's sweet or it's bitter or sour i can try to give some likeness but you see it's experiential but ah to experience it the ego must taste to death people let's wrap it up for today with that it's been amazing it's been incredible i did want to uh send out the link and bring some of you on live but i've
