30k Subs, A Non-Sectarian Journey | Mufti Abu Layth

um nora from shukran shukran much love for the super chat and yes people i have to say a big thank you to all of you that we have reached 30k subscribers you know it it is uh it is it is something substantial it is a journey and and you all are a part of this journey um as much

of it as i am seriously i i have to say that it is something substantial and it may not you know it may uh may maybe eclipsed and dwarfed in comparison to people that have so many followers and so many subscribers and they have hundreds and thousands and you know some people a million and two million and you know it's it's obviously these numbers are invisible next to that but you see our struggle is different

our journey is different one has to remember that you know in this path of on this path this path that leads to the transcendent to god it is incredibly difficult incredibly almost unfounded almost to make your mark

from scratch it is almost unfounded that in the realm of institutionalized religion people can really rise or have a voice if they are not on the back of denominational institutions and if they are not propelled by um a sect or a group i mean there is almost nobody i mean it's very rare

it you know that this that things like this happen that people have an opportunity to express themselves and they've not risen on the back of a group because usually groups have hundreds and thousands and millions of followers and listeners worldwide and people keep sharing and sharing and you because you become a a flag for that sectarian group whether they like you or don't but they bear some responsibility in furthering your voice and and you ride their wave

the current and it takes you very far but to see so all the great scholars that you'll see i mean they even if they went independent later on i mean and this is not to cast this is not to you know detract from them but you could take the great uh the greats like uh you could take any um you know great person with so much following and it will only be because for years they were they were pushed by a sectarian denomination and this is not to detract i'm really glad that the

likes of shaykh yasser al-qardi have kind of tried to break away from these you know sectarian values and but yeah but for this has been a journey so for me this is incredible because you know in the face of many that would say this can't be done that if you don't attach yourself to a group you can never your voice can never be heard i would say you know we have we have done it and so it is as small as it may seem it is huge um

and i'm sure in the eyes of god it has its true value i mean and yeah so akela allah these words these are the the mantra this is the motto that i set off alone on this path but people joined along the way and thus it became a caravan
