2:28

starting to get depressed i was just thinking today you know what it's too much now you know i can't because you know what has it been now like since it's been probably what two and a half months since working out i i'm going mad now i'm going uh today i was just thinking you know what i've had enough i've even ordered equipment a while back but it didn't come and ah i don't know i was just thinking you know what i'm just gonna start some stuff now uh on my own here and just

3:08

because it's just control me so right but and boris good for nothing goes april the 12th people april the 12th that's when gyms are to reopen and it's also on the first day of ramadan boris maris you you you you harami [Laughter] you know he

3:48

must be kind of like i bet there was some planning on that they must have said you know what i know some of these uh muslimics are gonna run wild so let it coincide with ramadan ramadan so they must have said yeah yeah might that'll be a good idea fly me and there you go we now have the first whilst we're looking out for the moon uh of ramadan after sha burn we're gonna simultaneously be looking for the opening

4:21

of the gems people how are you how are you trader s said you're doing it much love much love for the super chat [Music] that just reminded me look bitcoin people over 10 years ago two pizzas were 10 000 bitcoins today to bitcoin are 10 000 pizzas it's gone full circle

5:00

it's gone full circle this is why you need to people you need to speaking speaking of speaking of also also speaking of the subtleties to do with the the subtleties [Music] issues nowadays everybody's crypto mad but in addition to that to cheer up some of the the people there's news

5:37

in world news sorry rather for all the acts you know the ah out there brother you can see there's a men shortage and the eritrea government is forcing men to marry at least two wives or face imprisonment up imprisonment so you know this aren't too much you know too much you know the brother in in prison you know no no no no

6:14

[Laughter] so there you go so that's one for the axe out there i thought i'd give them hope to say that yeah if all else fails eritrea [Laughter] v is coming [Music] so people what is going on yeah the men are happy look at this thing well you know what it is it's not about happiness

6:53

it's about sacrifice because they're thinking you know being tortured into this face imprisonment imprisonment [Laughter] so well what is going on somebody said did abdul rahman hassan reply no he has not i see is here's me i don't get no replies from people

7:25

story of my life people story of my life this me messaging these beloveds and no this one you know no reply well people if i let me add a little bit i want to introduce you to a picture of the beloved yes that look people you you you so well what today i want to focus on some of your questions yeah um rational faith said i'll be crying while having the the

8:04

axe because i know i'll go to jail so see this is the problem you know it is uh the sacrifice you know the sacrifice you know the this one so well in addition to that is there much to look at today apart from some of these topics um there has been we have had an interesting uh video coming which i'll take a little look at a little later on uh at uh remember the village wars you had the village wars that were taking place before i don't know if you guys uh

8:44

remember them but they were there [Laughter] they were with the belawed and they were with this beloved so somebody asked them okay why are all moley's [ __ ] [Laughter] we're gonna take a look a little later on at some wisdom yeah those of you that sometimes that my private chopper so why are all movies fat why so somebody asked him okay why are all molvies [ __ ] so you know this is something we have to uh look at a very

9:20

good people so that's something meanwhile our beloved has also put up a post referring to obviously me as the margin margin is like uh i don't know somebody who's always joking around or not taking things seriously so there you go and that's something we'll look at a little later on people but so what about now well let's take a look at what's preoccupying the minds

9:56

of the beautiful people that my well balanced followers are and viewers let me bring up facebook i still haven't managed to sort out the um you know on stream labs i've got to ask somebody who's an expert on stream labs why does it no longer show this facebook comments on the side just makes it so much more difficult got kashif frow defrobari clear

10:33

[Music] so uh what else is right those of you that haven't watched by the way the latest um the latest mind trap it was done with us the one of the east people and it was on roomy uh religiosity and rituals of the acts you know this is the rituals

11:13

the rituals brother so it's very interesting we had some fascinating discussions if you haven't um caught up with that i think it's definitely worth catching up i did ask him since he's uh between iran and the us he's from iran but lived predominantly in the us but currently back in iran i did ask him i did put the million dollar question to him that everybody uh was being plagued and struck down by and that is uh how easy is it to do mutha in iran so you have to watch that and

11:52

you have to watch uh some of his very fascinating insights do check that out people check it out check it out there is once again episode 50 people we did 50 and i have to say that i you know to me it's like a it's a momentary landmark because you know when i began mindtrap

12:22

i thought to myself when i've done 50 episodes i thought that means it's a foundation has been laid for the podcast so in my mind that's what i had 50 episodes and i thought that you know i have to get 50 done to have this somewhat stable and then the sky's the limit people the sky's the limit so lila hamd 50 have been done and you know to me in my heart people

13:00

it was something special so do check it out i did also have an interview with dr mahdi sajid from the netherlands and uh and germany sorry he's i think he's between both of them but uh utrecht or is that germany's utrecht sounds more german actually so uh now that is going to be up on youtube as soon as a professor finishes kind of i don't know tweaking it up with his editing then i'll have that put up but i thought that

13:38

was really fascinating because it's been a while since i've been a guest and even though several people have asked me in between that look will you do a will you do a podcast with us like come on our podcast and because i've been focused on mindtrap i've said that look i really need to focus to to launch mind trap and make sure and like i said in my mind i had this thing i have to do at least 50 to have a foundation and so i'd been declining people's offers to do that but obviously professor

14:16

mahdi sajid has a special place in my heart so i couldn't decline professor mahdi and and it's always a fascinating discussion with him you know it's it's incredibly profound uh just you know remarkably intelligent and i think um so so and plus the the objective behind it because his objective is these are being done for the university the i think it's or i don't know how to pronounce it but it's uh so it's being done for that and it's to

14:55

bridge a gap a void between the religious scholarship and the secular islamic scholarship so i thought well it's very noble in course and a course that i'm also you know for so yeah and what was fascinating was i think the first one hour or more actually maybe one and a half hour was just like a personal interview and i haven't really been interviewed in such a while no it was a very personal and an intimately person and not in that sense

15:35

so this it was a very um you know up close kind of interview about when i went to study and my journey so far and yeah and it was quite um it was because i wasn't expecting it like that i honestly i didn't know that's what he was gonna ask so um i thought he it was you know maybe he might just ask one two question then go straight into some discussion

16:05

so the fact that it was very um uh personal and yeah and it kind of got me uh in um i don't know it kind of hit me very candidly with it and so i really enjoyed it i enjoyed it so yeah do check that out look out for that all right people what else is going on yep we've launched people we have launched the see that almost that eritrean post came up again not that launch

16:43

we have launched people mindscape has gone down all right it has been launched so those of you that are on patreon can from your patreon page find the actual links that take you in so it's basically a platform and all the benefits are there there's a chat page there's a chat group there's a resources group there's a humor group there's a shares where i will amount mild distribution channel where i share any kind of curated curated feed people so um

17:20

there's also a voice channel between uh members but there's a special one the sanctuary which i will jump on to this but there's four people which they can just chat amongst themselves as a voice platform called the savannah where man began people where man began back in the plains of the savannah and then from that to the sanctuary is where i will occasionally jump on and i was trying it out yesterday and i thought wow you know what i'm really excited because i thought you know what this is epic like

17:59

because i was driving back yesterday and i thought well let me drop a message but people are still migrating yet so it's all kind of uh you know because we just launched it yesterday but i thought look let me drop a message okay i'm gonna be 15 minutes on you know for 15 minutes i'll be chilling on sanctuary and you could just drive and you could just put it on and it's just a live voice platform whoever's on it is on it i thought this is so amazing for like you know sometimes when you're driving or you're doing something and you and you want to just you think i know let's have a chat this is such a great opportunity to just

18:38

jump on there and say all right people so yeah so that's up and running but what else people what else is going down quite a few have sent some super chats let me take a look at them drawing technical says enjoy listening to your streams and vids a few bucks ah so yeah you're doing it you're doing it much love right um mufti why does god punish us off straight away to punishment uh karima says you can even stream a

19:16

movie on discord i don't know that well karima send me a message afterwards and i'll see on what is the on instagram so i will take a look at that it'll be interesting to stream maybe short clips and maybe at some point or actually if we could even do movies it would be fascinating to have like a discussion following a movie

19:45

and then you actually accidentally streamed the wrong movie it's the scandal you know the scandal people you have to be careful this is very sensitive people so what is going on mufti is rough only attained from the sunnah see look whilst you good for nothings are here being distracted with all this talk abu hassan has his mind on track mono track people he's concerned can you

20:25

tell me is roughly attained from the sunnah then people not lifting something else rough only a day lifting the two hands the two hands man the two hands so is this from the sunnah in the maliki mother so the maliki madhhab is quite unique on these kind of matters you will see have i moved it right to this one man what this one where's the where's my

21:02

coffee where's my coffee let's see people you think i just in case people think that these books are fake you have to do you know nowadays it's a demand if you don't do this stuff people think yeah that book is these are just fake this is a green screen [Laughter] [Music]

21:41

so um was from muslim spain cordoba passes away 464 hijri uh he was a very good friend of um of ibn hasem in fact he's they were like best buddies like bffs people bffs so

22:18

and what did you ask did you ask about the rafale yes so here he begins notice how he begins with in babu hey at the salah become how to perform the prayer with its entirety he he mentions about placing the hand as well and he says you either place one hand the yumna at the right hand above the left hand oh oh which is also oh in arabic

22:56

you just let them hang by the side all of that is sunnah notice people the style the style and then he says um what inch about refurbishing he says

23:30

if he wishes he can do rafale that's raising the hands before ruku and after and he says well insha'allah and if he wants he doesn't have to you see and that is how the school of medina is really so chilled about these things and even you'll see when it comes to um how do you hold the hands they you know one of the understandings is key for mata however it comes together huh okay for me

24:09

and we agreed people and we agreed [Laughter] what the heck so you know like how you say what the [ __ ] now in arabic it means and we have agreed so i i so i can't remember sometimes i would say like just generally what the heck i'd go what the heck [Laughter] like what the [ __ ] that we've agreed on everything so once

24:48

zozo azara my six-year-old walked in and she was just she was just saying what the heck she i thought huh what says what the heck and i was like uh okay anyway so people let's catch up somebody said what's patreon patreon is a it's basically a service to support people it's a platform where you support people creators artists teachers performers

25:28

whatever you just go on then there's people on there and you can subscribe to certain um packages basically of support that you support them they offer you something it works like that basically so what else is going on mufti my ex blocked you on my insta i have to add you back

26:03

oh he was very jealous of you sorry for that no i problemas it doesn't bother me in the slightest but yes people you know these kind of uh toxic uh relationships you know problem problem mufti can you please talk about stimulation stimulation theory let me add a little bit of spice stimulation what is the stimulation theory that if you uh there's a theory i mean this it's more an applied science [Laughter]

26:42

stimulating the stimulation theory okay it's good to stimulate it's good to be stimulated it's good to have a stimulus it's good to be the stimulus i don't know how else to what should we keep on adding things to this theory for a khan hey khan you're doing it you're doing it right so

27:10

all right so what is going on right mufti how did adam ah where did that question go somebody said where's the patreon link uh somebody will share it if one of the mods could share it here should karen shook him right so there was a question about adam's

27:37

[Music] something about adam's children so i suppose if you send it again i don't know i can't see it uh oh there it is somebody said what the [ __ ] but that's how you say it in arabic you know you say it like we have agreed what the [ __ ] now we have agreed ala on whatever it is so people get doing it say what you do and you're doing it mariam

28:16

oriental alright so what else is happening how did mufti takash takash says what a name gosh gosh sounds like like a like a sound effect they're like whilst they were naming the parents are like well what like what should we name him dad's like the cash they're like okay takash [Laughter] surname

28:54

akash kapow so the question was that takash had asked how did adam's children procreate ah okay so the birds and the bees that story i have to okay so sit down so what happens when two adults they kind of like they like the each other you know they like each other and then this nature it's design

29:32

oh you don't mean in explaining like that so what what do you mean when they were how did adam's children procreate when there were other humans families were there other human families to breed with oh as in were they just was it just incest galore or were there other they like uh you know um let's keep it in the family yeah yeah so keep it

30:07

now there would have been so in my understanding and you know people say mufti why do you say in your understanding you know people have made video clips out of me saying in my understanding am i going to give your dad's understanding oh obviously i'm going to give my understanding why are you finding that so strange to hear obviously i'm not going to say well in your dad's understanding it's like i'm gonna say in my understanding i mean it's a bit you know presumptuously

30:44

uh grandiose to say in god's in the mind of god or to say in the prophets understand this a bit whoa like we don't know that we just know certain teachings and then we have a take on it we have an understanding so in my understanding there were naturally there were other homo sapiens around so adam would have been the father of the cognitive revolution the kogrev people the cog you know the cog going on so but homo sapiens had been around for quite a while now obviously my theory something

31:24

happened that triggered this whole cognitive revolution i do feel it may have been psychedelics that may have been the plant that finally you know it kind of you know that that that kind of breaks the straw that breaks the back if you like it's the it's the thing that triggers that final thing that triggers an explosion of consciousness and yeah so they would have been other sapiens around homo sapiens and naturally adam would have also had many partners and

32:01

as would have his children but his children would have carried on that um this consciousness so yeah that's what right all right so mufti you're tapped yep it is what it is what it is people it is what it is

32:31

he didn't have a father huh who didn't have a father thus miraculous birth right roughly then i've answered roughly then come on thoughts on glitches in the matrix yeah you know sometimes i do feel that this is like a very this is all a complicated kind of software this dunya is just like for god this is just like all software you understand and because it would make sense

33:11

wouldn't it don't you think so it'd be like a virtual reality that we're living in it's all it's a kind of simulation except it's real for us who are in it i think in many ways that also it doesn't eliminate but it deals quite um quite i to some extent adequately or at least deals um reasonably with the problem of evil you know because if it's all

33:50

but just a game huh if all we see or seem is but a dream within a dream allah so what else is going on so i do think that sometimes i feel that these glitches i don't know whether they're just in my head what if there was just a glitch in the system

34:28

ringo says wish it was software then i can tell the bailiffs that i'm not paying my debts it's not real debt yeah i mean but they're part of the system you see this the debts are part of the system says my brother is dating a sikh girl okay what is this a competition are you trying to uh are you posting it on here because all the the kind of uh the bachata incels that are on here

35:07

are gonna be feeling like left out [Laughter] you're trying to make people jealous is that is that it so mufti yasser said that tissue is sufficient for east india for what for east india tissue is sufficient rather is it from the nobility though one must ask is tissue from the air from the nobility [Laughter]

35:43

one one must not touch stimulate one's own uh organ rather when one approaches the bathroom to relieve oneself so can you say who you plan to bring onto mindtrap in the future yep i've got inshallah this week so not actually tomorrow night beyond past midnight so probably it's going to be about 1am 1 30 uk time

36:19

um so i have dr um dr joseph joseph lombard who co-authored or was involved in the project to study quran so i have him and that's because of the timing he's currently in the uae and so he's ahead of me in a time zone and the only time we could find uh that would work would be

36:56

very early morning for dr joseph so i'll have him on then which will be about i think maybe 1 30 a.m might even be 2 i don't know it'll be something like that my time yeah but for you americans canadians it'll be it'll be just it's early in the night it's early time people people check this out yeah

37:24

this this is to hydrate people hydrate people think i don't hydrate so what is going on people what is going on uh mufti can you bring sayyid ali again uh zebra is saying that yes of course i have actually spoken to dr sayed hamad he was doing his final steps of the phd so he was quite preoccupied with that but after that

38:01

sure mufti's vodka right so right what is a rather with your fancy mufti you drinking your perfume this is what happens people this is what happens in life you know when you lock us up for this long lock down

38:35

we we lose it we've lost the plot i've lost the plot people so let's take a look mufti please uh bring me the compilation of mufti's drinking yeah that would be interesting with sheikh musti can you do a mind trap with sheikh abdul haleem who is [Laughter] why are they this that's like this concern right here

39:14

the kind of wisdom so there's quite a few super chats let me get to them people much love to all of you for uh for sharing your super chats let's see if there is you're doing it i have uh is this the same idris from um professor idris so i have hopefully we gotta get you on professor so we gotta work out a time and inshaallah do that what are my thoughts on sheikh muhammad nizami as in my thoughts on getting him on mine trap now what are your thoughts on sheikh

39:54

muhammad my thoughts on him i think yeah you see nizami from what i know of him he is you know he's very talented young um you know has a fresh uh has that freshness to his approach he has some or applies some level of critical thought uh when it comes to opinions within islam and stuff

40:32

but in all honesty i i feel that you see the there's a lot of challenges with people like sheikh muhammad and his army that he may be facing or if he's not i would assume he he's aware that he's facing them but if he isn't aware then and they are the usual not being able to outgrow you know the cuckoo nest so he is trapped within that same religious circle um because they are the people who initially gave him some um i mean they gave him some attention

41:10

so he addresses them and in fact i think some of the people who were initially the type that were listening to him was kind of like a hardline type they were like hardliners and and i think he too was from a selfie background i don't know if he still is like that though but the problem is when you move away you lose your audience so you have to either create you know bottom up your own audience or you have to constantly try to compromise in you know finding a middle ground to

41:48

please that same audience that you have so that's why where i think he's stuck and not just him many people like him are just stuck in that because they're too busy trying to appease an audience that will never really be pleased with them because you see to that audience you're already a deviant you know you gotta recognize that so i would say look just just be yourself be true to yourself and let people find you people will you know it is allah guides you know

42:28

you do not guide who you want look you just speak your mind be true to yourself i remember a while back i said to shaykh nizami let's have a discussion let's have mind trap let's do these things the truth is he's very worried uh or very not worried at the right word but concerned about this is my understanding and maybe he i'm wrong on this he'll probably you know he may say most he's wrong but my perception is he's worried that he'll lose that little audience you know because they're quite hard-liners like i said who he kind of speaks to

43:05

so if he's seen chatting to me oh my god oh my god you know and and the same thing you get this with many people and it's a shame because it's these are grown men being bullied into little pathetic kind of beliefs and not even being able to you know like you need to be able to speak your own mind you can't let people bully you into beliefs what the hell is this what are you like and this isn't about him this is about just people in general like imams like what are you like 12 years old in a schoolyard how are people bullying you as

43:45

grown i mean as a grown man was grown men into beliefs that's just stupid that's stupid on a new level of the word [Laughter] yeah and it's very sad as well because but it you'll be surprised it's actually the majority of the cases you know that these people are bullied into um that they're not allowed to speak their mind they're so scared they're so intimidated um i mean when i say intimidated i don't mean like for their life but they are bullied so they're not bullied in the sense that somebody's

44:24

gonna come and punch them but they get bullied through online and through these things and and they kept in check by this kind of like mob which is usually that religious crowd just oh my god oh my god you're a diva no no no no i'll fall off one i do tawba to allah no no i don't that's the kind of issues uh right so

44:56

somebody said uh best example he's so afraid karima yep uh yeah that's true um yes but yes is trying to um i think he's trying to kind of just to to kind of voice his truer self but he's doing it in such a if you know turtle pace [Laughter] he's uh it's basically he's he's kind of his

45:34

his kind of infinite wisdom in how to do this is i'll get a turtle but i'll give the turtle red bull but i'll still keep it as a turtle as bizarre as what i'm saying sounds that's his kind of his uh infinitely sophisticated wisdom on how to be true to yourself so he's taken this really super um i don't know kind of uh

46:08

borderline he's gonna get upset but like caveman approach in when it comes to sophistication obviously no he's very intelligent but this approach is like you know how you picture someone when they were still living in caves how they would have solved a problem you know he's kind of like he's reaching back to that kind of uh ancestral wisdom [Laughter] so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna do this really gradual so you need to just be

46:45

real i i don't give a damn do whatever the hell you want you know like one of that like oh carlo you know like uh whatever the hell you want i'm gonna this is me this is what i believe and anybody that's got a problem you know i don't give a damn that's how you have to be real and then people with an open heart will start listening to you but they're worried that if we do that we're going to lose our following and we're going to get blacklisted so i'm going to do it in

47:23

such a turtle pace that by like basically so i'm gonna say the same thing but this is me do whatever the hell you want but i'm gonna basically release i don't know one letter of that sentence just one alphabet letter every six months so basically i've said the same thing but i it's taken me ten years to say and by that time the old old school have kind of died off and now it's younger people so that's his kind of strategy i just think that life's too short man why do you care why

48:02

why would i care about what people think and like do like do these people really care for me you know like let's be honest like if there's haters out there why why why does their opinion affect my life so much when they don't even like me am i trying to please them they're not going to ever help me if something goes wrong in life you know like let's be real if anything they're going to rejoice and they're going there's going to be chardon freud they're going to be like you know happy if something bad happens to let's say me or to people you know this is the truth so why

48:42

you know why should they be the people who you you know you're worried about trying to appease or keep in good you know in good sentiment why these people don't care for you they they won't you know they wouldn't have a minute of their lives for you and this message is to everyone out there that is so busy with the opinion of others you know and especially these others that are not in their positive circles not their friends

49:21

or their family or it's not these these are the others out there that don't even really like these people or don't care for them or hate on them or those others the people the people out there why are you trying to please these people you can't please them and even if you do so what no honestly like life remember that those people who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter keep it like that people you know you have a circle of friends

49:58

that are like true genuine friends and these people you know you that's really what matters your own personal achievements are what matter your family may be what you matter your friends your maybe just this this sphere and then there's the world out there and the world out there they have to adjust to you you know that that's not you to them

50:33

that's the you know it's the the world has to adjust to me i'm adjusting to the world that's how [ __ ] murata you know the poet he says and sometimes you need that kind of um that attitude in life and i don't mean in a you see don't conflate it with arrogance arrogance is wrong but sometimes you need that kind of you know just uh to be able to to do what you you know because otherwise you just worry about people people people and you know they have this location

51:11

you know this this saying that what will people say loka accent and that's the who gives a damn what people will say so yeah so take that if you know if that's some advice you want to take from tonight definitely take that let's catch up with some super chats uh right quite a few here wow a variety people much love much love um those of you that have shared as well i can see here kanye khan you're doing it much love people yep do shiri trader said you're

51:50

doing it as well with the super chats and i did say that bitcoin and this kind of stuff you know crypto right now oh my god man i uh i'm really enjoying this crypto thing honestly it's just been a crazy even though the market has been a bit down but you know who's really clued up as well on crypto is uh which is spelt s j double a d from um sacred text institute sacred texts institute and definitely by the way

52:30

anybody who wants to look to enroll on something online or do certain islamic things i definitely advocate um connecting with him his institute what i'll do is i'll get his details because i don't he did actually tell me but i don't i as far as i recall it was sacred texts institute but he is he's epic you know very level-headed down-to-earth profound sophisticated um and traditional as well kind of scholar you know doesn't necessarily have the wacky the wacko views i have but you know very

53:09

um tolerant and intolerant is i don't even like the word tolerant but very understanding and you know very calm and i've been trying to get him a mind trap but he he really shies away from public uh discourse which is a shame but yeah but do you know if you ever want to know islamic stuff about crypto and that kind of stuff he's definitely somebody to reach out to but i'm generally loving the scene with proper trading galore people no idea what we're doing but we're loving it so what else is going on

53:48

uh rosalina it's risky that's all i'm saying you know that great wealth crater everyone's saying it is but what i would say you know about crypto okay i would advise you know this is something you can just discard it but just my thoughts i'm just sharing you know as they say it's just

54:23

that that's what it's you know it's just these are just thoughts um i would advise that even if you don't get into crypto properly and you don't trade and you don't do that i would advise uh learning about it and just mucking about a bit on it um it's not difficult and look there's no i know people think they they will tell you that look there's all these epic plans and there's all this you know the market has these rules and it's like an organism and it works in the and it does have i i i'm not disagreeing that it doesn't work in cycles and stuff and there's all these different ways to look

55:01

at moving averages or you're going to look at this particular formula or you've got the fibonacci you've got so many things but i would say even if it's just you know you can ignore all of that if you want just a simple intuitive kind of feel just muck around a little even if it's a tiny amount that you put in even if you just put in a couple of hundred pounds and you are just playing around you know why because i think just to familiarize yourself with this world of crypto and you might make a couple you know you might put in a couple hundred pounds

55:40

maybe make 20 30 pounds maybe you lose some maybe you may but it's something that you're prepared to lose you know you put it in but it's worth the experience because the future whether we like it or not is crypto it is going to overtake and it is going to forcefully um just make its place in the world forcibly and you know it's fascinating because remember i i once did a uh i did this talk on

56:14

what was it on on sex slaves and concubines and things like this and in it i speak about the social consciousness and i speak about you know the way you have certain um images and how certain things come to your mind if you haven't watched that talk do check it out but i gave the example that sometimes certain things that um once you become conscious of them then it becomes obvious and i use the the by you know the two image um pictures to give an example where you can see where there's a double image um

56:53

whether it's a man or a dog or whether you know it's a vars or two faces but the vars in the two faces is very obvious but there's some i use them in there i won't ruin it if you haven't watched it but there's some that if you can't see it like at first you only see one but the moment the other one is brought to your attention you can no longer unsee it and and that i use that allegory for social consciousness the kind of zeitgeist that that is this this feel which i feel is the collective consciousness once that changes as it changed towards

57:31

slavery then these things changed and um so do watch that lecture but in there i give an example i say that let's say in the future the world is run in a decentralized way like let's say in the future somehow they don't have governments and they will look back at us and say like how did those people used to just accept that somebody could dictate the laws for them how did they accept that and you see we don't even question it it's not even it's

58:09

it's just a given and i use the example of something like income tax or different things to say well look there's certain things that are just a given for us like the government one is a good example that we oh of course we are just citizens and there's a government and government makes laws and it does things and uh but but why well you know like obviously because you're gonna think well obviously that's how people rule that's how people live but in the future if they move away from imagine this a decentralized the world is just run by one kind of government somehow

58:48

it's not run like and you think this is crazy how could that be you know you think that mufti are you are you smoking something but you see crypto it is showing us something isn't it money is becoming decentralized and you would never have thought it because who would give up the power over money his money is unbelievably powerful it i would argue it is the most powerful of the human um

59:25

psychosocial entities and it's amazing you know i have that yuval harare's book i do recommend you get it it's called money you know and and the saying he has on the back that we money we we want money because everybody else wants money and because everybody else wants money we can buy with it whatever we want it's just a psychosocial interdependency now you see what we are witnessing is money being made literally out of nothing in the very making history is being made

1:00:05

but we are witnessing it in real time and this is what i find so wow about this and i think sometimes i'm i'm just too excited i think people can't see what i'm or they don't i don't know you know like they think like like i've heard some people i read some comments people saying mufti is just what is he on about but you have to appreciate the wow factor that look like look check this out money has an arbitrary value it has the value but because it's already in circulation

1:00:43

we don't question it like why is the pound worth one point something dollar why you say well you know because of this this this it is but really you know these theories are just i mean they're just answers that people are giving that are not really necessarily the case it just is and things fluctuate and naturally obviously the gdp and the market that a country has this is what we assume like we assume well that's because you know britain it has you know a certain powerful position in the world and it does this and it does that but that's not always the case sometimes

1:01:23

certain countries like in the middle east they uh you know the the currency will be more powerful than the pound but they won't have that kind of influence and we'll say well you know well that's because they've got this resource and we keep kind of coming up with theories but it is just what it is and we we we can't question it because we weren't there when it began we see it's been going on for way before us but crypto has emerged in front of us and even though really speaking a lot of crypto doesn't

1:02:01

have yet i mean it's going to have but it doesn't yet have uh ecological like much real world applicability like it has some unquestionable like your money obviously goes dark like you can send money across the world to people but and some places you know you can buy things from people it's starting now like since 2021 there's been much more of a advance towards it but there's still less applicability in real world value for it but what gives this particular currency its value now they're going to say well there's a

1:02:40

fundamental to this coin you know it's invested in this technology in this blockchain it's invested in this particular but really most people don't know that most people don't even you know let's just be real who knows about the fundamentals behind these coins what the hell what the hell is behind dogecoin or dodge coin or what however the dog e coin or i'll i just call it doge then what the hell is behind that it's a joke that it was made as a joke the coin was it there's no fundamentals behind it i know i feel elon musk is trying to buy it out and make it his coin but why does it have value the value is just arbitrary other people

1:03:19

want it why do they want it you just create a vision and you see to me i feel i treat these things that i feel they they are like virtual organisms that once they come to life they take on a life of their own you then no longer entirely control it and the market is like an organism and these coins are like that there's a myth associated with them but in real time they are becoming so you know what bitcoin is what i mean i know it dipped a bit today but it's on what 54 000 for one bitcoin what makes it that

1:03:57

valuable it's entirely decentralized nobody owns bitcoin i mean people own it but no company owns it no government manages it no nobody can you know dictate bitcoin in that sense like they don't nobody has control over it it's it's just there and this is all before our very eyes currency has slipped away from the hands of governments and kings monarchs and it's become this decentralized you know just look at that people you know like how the quran says it's

1:04:34

that it does not remain trapped here it says the rich but it was in my understanding representing those who controlled money or the gold and here this peer-to-peer and just coming out there and obviously the rich will still control more of it than others but it's a phenomenon unfolding so this is why i do i i marvel at it and i i i do love the concept i think is and you see it may represent in the future governments becoming control becoming decentralized you see

1:05:14

you may say today mufti you're chatting it but mark my words you see this as money becomes decentralized maybe power will somehow become somehow become in a slightly decentralized way maybe or maybe i'm just i need to ease up on some of the the supplements i need to ease up uh somebody said mufti is 20 21 people still doubt crypto ah i wouldn't doubt it honestly i think you know if you doubt it you just it's your loss i would say just familiarize yourself with it even if

1:05:52

you're not going to invest huge money in into it just become familiar don't be alien to it's like if you don't know how to use the internet today it's not you know your world your life will still carry on but everybody who does know how to use it will be at a great advantage true wealth can't fluctuate it says who wealth is but a psychosocial entity my friend it has no real existence sub my eye it is all but an illusion

1:06:38

allah already told us in the quran he put it the answers were hidden in plain sight people it is all but again [Laughter] and entertainment so why not enjoy after all allah is telling us it is just a game and entertainment so right what is going on people mufti feras zahabi follows you on instagram should you invite him i have you know what it is i've see i've messaged him he hasn't checked

1:07:17

my messages i don't know whether he's if somebody's in touch with him please ask him i have also commented on some of his you know sometimes you comment on a person's profile and it brings it to their attention like you might say hey check my check dms please and i have but so he messaged me he started following me i think 2019 and he messaged me and a very kind of cordial very friendly reaching out and i messaged him in 2020 last year in the lockdown about mindtrap but he doesn't seem to

1:07:54

be checking the messages and i fear that is you know i do fear because i know in between he's done a few mind traps with people like muhammad hijab and ali dawa and he's done a few with i think a couple with them and i do fear okay real talk this is what i fear i'm being honest i fear that he has spoken to them because when he first reached out to me his message was about he really liked what my message about reason i think maybe when now that he's connected with people like that they may have told him look stay away from people like multiple

1:08:33

because he's a deviant and so therefore maybe that's why he doesn't respond to the messages or maybe it's just he just has never seen any of my comments or could be tomato tomato either either people um mostly the stupid let's take a look at the super chats man people's men peoples what is going on people's peoples right i did have you know i did have some poetry by the way but cello well let's get to the super chats more importantly people more importantly here

1:09:13

come the super chats so why use the word nikah not okay let me start from make sure i'm from the uh from the beginning so in the beginning there was the word people there was the word [Laughter] all a man has are two things huh the cojones and uh and the palabras okay and the words so people the words this one you know more important more

1:09:51

how do we understand the stories of prophets when western historians have deemed some of them legendary figures and not real in are not real this one big problem you know um yeah you see i in fact you know we discussed a bit of this me and professor sarjit

1:10:18

on our interview towards the end so i'll wait for that interview to be released and then i will put it up on my channel because i discuss this you know we go into it he asked me this i think that's the final question he puts to me but i would say look don't panic you know as imran khan says in pakistan the you know the prime minister he says [Laughter] first of all nobody panic nobody panic and that's what makes people panic you know it's like telling somebody

1:10:53

calm down has never in here what's it called you know diego the puppy god is so funny oh my god i forgot what it's called something puppets but diego if you type in diego the puppy and see when he's customer service he's like i'm gonna need you to calm down lady and she's not even she's just not speaking normally and she's like uh i am i'm gonna need you to calm down oh it's so funny man so funny but yeah

1:11:33

that's uh you know sometimes some people ask musty what should we watch for huma you should watch that i've been and i've been watching recently quite a few skits from um what's his name american uh is it long beach griffee or gif what's his name griffy i think long beach griffey oh he's funny [Laughter] he's funny as well bloody hell he's skits but yeah right so you see you know this thing about historians

1:12:12

i get distracted you see this is my problem i get so easily distracted um i would say look don't panic relax the quran by its very nature has not concerned itself with specificities [Music] specificities people uh so it it concerns it's like like so for example the story of moses let's use that as an example in fact somebody sent me a clip um a friend of mine billy you'd do in it if he's on

1:12:50

um and billy in the in the clip it was about um what do historians say about moses and basically there's a bunch of disagreement from most historians saying he was a myth now some saying well he was this and he was that and you know it may be like i firstly believe that all these people were real people uh these kind of people anyway the prophets and so on but in some of their cases maybe their stories were slightly different to our conceptualization of them

1:13:29

because you have to remember that we are taking the stories from all right i'm just trying to let me see if i can bring this a bit closer still right because we are taking our conceptualization of them through a series of developments before it so like the story of moses now it comes to us through the israelites it comes to us through now the quran does mention it but it doesn't go into great detail about moses i mean it goes into detail like it repeats

1:14:06

the story a lot in fact it's the most repeated story in the quran the story of moses ali but it's not actually like imagine you knew nothing about moses let's say you knew nothing about moses so you know you don't know anything you ground level playing you know tabula rasa you're coming to a clean slate and you have to write as much detail as accurate detail as possible about moses just based on the quran you know and you have to determine what

1:14:46

are factual points by what your and what is um uh what is basically your ichthy heart your um you know between the lines you're reading so you have to kind of be clear that only factual point so for example moses in the quran this person moses addresses a pharaoh so pharaohs were in egypt it's safe to say he was in egypt like that you could put as a factual thing let's say now i'm not saying factual from a historical perspective i'm saying if you this is a

1:15:25

an experiment with the quran you could understand that he tries to go off towards some land or something you understand that he has a concern for his people that there's the israelites or these uh semites are with him these people because who are israelites you know in the quran israelites because israelites are not really a an ethnicity they're not really a you know so so some semi people are with him this and he goes off and he has that but there's very little that you can actually put in

1:16:04

if you were to erase your entire memory of moses right now these things wouldn't these pegs that you would kind of put in they wouldn't actually give you much like they'll give you certain signposts but you'll you'll be surprised to realize how much of the data you're filling in by background knowledge so yeah i mean now and i and i know i've discussed this previously and was moses akhenaten for example this was something which

1:16:42

i am quite inclined towards i won't lie i am inclined to it but my research is ongoing does that necessarily clash with the quran in my view it doesn't because the quran doesn't give away much it just repeats short bursts of a story but it doesn't tell you much about the the backdrop of that story so yeah so i wouldn't i would say look don't don't kind of uh i don't think we need to freak out but at times we may need to reevaluate certain events next time uh super chat i was about to

1:17:22

say timestamp right so where did the first depiction of hell come from as far as i'm aware it all came from dante's inferno sid khan sid you do and it said you're doing it much love right so people i did share previously those of you that haven't um that were looking for gear all right not that kind of gear they're gonna turn up looking for god knows what kind of look for steroids they're looking for working out gear no

1:18:01

track suits and that kind of stuff sid is your guy and i do appreciate sid what you he did send to me i'm going to see if i've still got it here uh no it seems to have gone but yeah so right so that's uh oh it's here people let me bring this up because i would really appreciate it he went out of his way and said much love people there's the number our as i said last time martial arts expert in jiu jitsu ah

1:18:41

brazilian brazilian expert in brazilian jiu-jitsu and i did say that always to remember it's bjj two j's two j's is one this could make a world of uh a world of a mix-up it would be a mix-up of public of biblical proportions if you got that wrong so let's take a look the first depiction of hell no it doesn't come from dante uh dante's uh

1:19:18

yeah no it won't come from dante's inferno but i do have a video clip on the etymology of jahannam and i feel a lot of this begins with the greeks it begins with hades and then hades kind of forms into this uh so in the bible really they're using the word hades in a lot of the um a lot of the terms and i go through this um and not hell or i mean hell is a much later word but uh

1:19:56

gehennam but then there is this thing jesus referring to the you know this place of fire the valley of hinam people and this term then kind of metamorphs into jahannam and so you've got this hades and so it is this kind of journey but yeah do watch my clip on that i go into it in much more detail next question uh hira why was the word nikah used in the quran

1:20:36

it's an interesting question the word is used as well like allah says i suppose in the sense it depends not the words but words derivatives derivatives like s like we married them to or paid them actually not married you're right because that in the akhirah when he's speaking about peers it's about we paid them um watch i don't think there's a a huge problem in this i i don't think it's

1:21:16

some kind of like a um i mean i don't not even a problem i don't think there's a huge thing behind these it's just that originally in my understanding even though the verb was the the verb was used in classical arabic but i get the impression that for marriage they used nikah so they would use the verb they would use

1:21:55

yankee as well as a verb to get married but when they would use the noun they wouldn't generally i'm just trying to think as a word actually i mean they do use it a lot in the self so a lot of the fatawa they do mention zawaj a lot but i'm just trying to think about like in the quranic type of time that discourse

1:22:22

maybe um it's i don't know maybe they saw no it'll just be an arbitrary if i gave a an assumption it'd be really just very arbitrary but that's a good point i will try and explore it further if anything comes to mind and your nikah comes from a much more you know a very uh raw word in the sense that it actually comes from the word sex and so so its linguistic form actually means sexual intercourse so

1:23:02

but then people from there it took that from there it took it kind of migrates to this meaning of um this institution of ins of relationship that you're embarking in this relationship which obviously is of asexual nature so from the yankee or as is used in the quran often there it is understood as just nikah but you're right they could have used the word and the word doesn't really come from that root of sex it comes from the root of a pee to

1:23:40

not the fruit but to peer up so yeah um but that's very interesting inside there you doing it here are you doing it uh it just blew you're doing it he liked it all right i was saying to you jazz let's get a mind trap going um but i think just some of the timings we were having some issues on i see saracen

1:24:15

mufti is jazza unique to islam or was the verse reflecting the norms of the time roman imperial tax ejaza e jazza is to grant permission or to grant authorize something like you have ijaza in i know they use it to mean holiday in arabic today you say ijaza rahavi jazza but today er ejazza in the islamic sense is like an authorization of oh you mean jizya is that what you mean jizya abbas harrison

1:24:57

you got to focus focus focus jizya was already was not unique to islam at all jizya was there amongst the arabs and obviously taken from other societies you know external to the arab world and that's why the quran never explains it the quran uses the word jizya that you take jizya until they give the jizya without even explaining what that means because the people clearly knew what that meant so that's what it was joshua

1:25:38

siemens with that surname you're doing it you're doing it [Laughter] seaman siemens siemens this is the after the pre version was just the siemens now it's the person's

1:26:10

now it's the people's first it was just the siemens oh you're doing it you're doing it man you're doing it so right was the islamic golden age the peak of islam so far possibly yeah yeah as in islam is not at any kind of peak right now um not in as a i take it by peak i'm associating with that a sense of uh flourishing advanced

1:26:50

advancement a kind of opulence wealth a sense of grandeur grandeur a sense of global glory a sense of dictating the lingua franca and the the you know a huge whether it's even maybe possibly even global economy or global politics global leadership influencing all of these things islam obviously isn't doing that

1:27:27

today but there was a time you know muslims were kind of the breakthrough people they breakthrough thinkers philosophers um and and it wasn't that yes they did translate a lot of the greek stuff but they were not mere translators they they built on that knowledge they didn't keep it to lower order thinking still skills just knowledge and understanding they took it to you know analysis application synthesis creation evaluation they added these higher order thinking skills to it they

1:28:07

became authorities in and of themselves you know they uh even cena look how he um when it comes to his his medical stuff it became such a renowned a it became a you know a canonized work canonical work on medicine i mean since the times of galen and people like that i mean their works were being transmitted but muslims became somebody in that sense they were authoritative in that sense and they

1:28:46

you know even if you want to look at medicine um you know you've got these people making huge discoveries hospitals in in the sense that as a prototype to what hospitals are today were called maristan in the so if you you can even google them in the reports of uh you know historians or people writing journals and they'll speak about or just muslims that the madistan when they're describing a geographic region

1:29:25

they will say you know it has this many maristan in it this many masjids this many whatever blah blah blah rivers and so on and these hospitals were medicating functional and they look they weren't yes obviously today we're in a different day and age but for that day and age relatively throughout the world they were doing it and they were very scientific they were very razzy you know not the obviously there's several razzies but there's the famous uh uh wakara razi i believe uh the he was a philosopher but he was also a medical expert

1:30:04

in his day and age that's what i'm saying you know in his day and age he um and in fact i remember reading about him in his book that when he was he had this huge you know he was very much into empirical data and you know it's shocking because today muslims are sometimes so you ask them something but you know back then you had these people uh come across he was one of the first people to ever deploy

1:30:42

usage of control groups in experiments of medication and there's a story about him that i think in baghdad or was it yeah but that he was asked by the caliph that al-mukhtafi i think it was or i may be mixing up the caleb but he was asked by the caliph that to to build a hospital so before he built it what he would do is he went to different parts of the city and he would put pieces of meat in different places to see to kind of

1:31:21

measure the speed at which they become rancid and become off because obviously even though they hadn't discovered bacteria then but they understood that something goes wrong in you know whether it's in the year or whatever and those parts that took you know that took the longest to go off that you know you've got even a nephew speaking about blood circulation figuring it out and doing all this uh in fact he writes about um it's what's his name william harvey's the the person who comes up with the blood

1:32:00

circulation um but that's only a couple of centuries ago even in the feast you're talking hundreds and hundreds of years ago he had written already about blood circulation the way it works in the heart in the chambers from the uh how does it go from the right to the left he figures out that you know because people galen historically was because look see most of the knowledge that muslims had was based on greek medicine and they had assumed that the heart just kind of pumps it through you know like from one chamber to the other it just goes through this tiny

1:32:38

pause or something and he clearly criticizes that and sorry critiques it and marks it as incorrect and he says that you know this is uh he says it's not actually correct and that the heart he says pumps out the blood and it goes around the body and it comes round it takes this long root round to come in into the left side it doesn't just go from there to here but here is this person muslims who are not only commenting and translating greek

1:33:16

great works of medicine or by these legends you know these you know people from before jesus i mean these huge figures of philosophical thought but they are challenging them they are saying that you know that and the amount of confidence you must have to do that because you have to remember it's like today trying to challenge einstein because people some like galen was like that he was a huge authority anybody you know that studies uh uh any kind of biographical work of

1:33:55

muslim scholars reads that they like even even audibly read his read anybody they will say that they studied galen's work in dip so to be able to challenge this the confidence you must have but yeah so it was a there were great uh things done previously it is a shame that why we're so you know reverse you know we've like got it full speed in reverse like we're coming but we're coming in reverse [Laughter] so mufti can you

1:34:32

king robert says can you discuss the misinterpretation of hadith and quranic verse to suit their narrative and in particular i'm not sure which hadith you mean oh right sorry i'm referring to hizbut the hadith yeah i mean his i've mentioned before are just a cancer in this um they are a people who are obsessed with you know this this um unhealthy disease of seeking global dominion in a worldwide power we need to rule over the world we need to they have this false sense of nostalgia that maybe you know muslims did this in

1:35:12

the past and we need to do this and and so obviously when you use you know you you kind of feed all of that to young people especially young men you know hormones are all over the place testosterone and ah control power and then it can derail people you know they spend their lives in this kind of cult and then later on you realize well you know and then you become embarrassed to let go because you're so invested like if i've spent

1:35:48

15 years in a cult it's a very big step to move away because it's basically admitting that i was stupid enough i was naive enough to become you know to be beguiled and to be kind of misled for 15 years i basically i wasted you know that that what the real thing we were meant to do we stayed away from like we missed it that we

1:36:29

says how this like and he goes ah like he kind of like you know one of these like he says that this dear life of mine it went to waste that this this is such these words the remorse is so hard hitting like aziz i guess i wasted it it's a big thing you know it's not it's the problem with anything you know you get so if it's in waste later on it's difficult

1:37:09

for people but yeah there's a lot of misinterpretations with them misinterpretations of the verses of the quran but there's a lot of this stuff online already if you look it up all the evidences will they've already been refuted mufti can you please talk about sim stimulation i've [Laughter] you know how much how much stimulation are we going to do here we need to uh mufti why did the ottoman sultanate replace the head of courts in schools

1:37:47

with hanafi olama was it to solidify their position of power um you see the the if you're asking why did they have hanafi judges that's because the hanafi madhhab was the method of that part of the world you know like the cell jews jokes and these people the turkman and that kind of central asia those steps that you have

1:38:25

they were you know they they that's what they were they they were hanafi that's where the hanafi mother was so it's natural they're going to because they're from that um that's what they will then deploy but i don't think it was a kind of conspiracy but in all honesty only two madhhabs have ever known sovereignty as ibn azim says you gotta love him though you know he allah

1:39:01

you know this affinity with uh within but um yeah so but he says and and you know it's interesting because we speak of you know michel foucault what do you know you know fukuo we speak of uh folk holden perspectives in psychology now when we're looking at discourse analysis power um evaluations looking at power positions agency but it's interesting as a prototype version that's what ibn hasam is doing he's speaking about why he feels that

1:39:40

there's certain things that you need to take into consideration when speaking of the you know he says when you're analyzing um or just even just to understand the maliki method because he was obviously very he was anti-mathhabs and obviously because he was surrounded by maleki's they were the people he would lash out often and he says that look there's been two mothers only who have known sovereignty that they have ruled and it's been the hanafis in the east and the maliki's in the west

1:40:18

and that's a fascinating statement on i mean from a perspective it's a historical observation but it's also an incredible statement from a a discourse analytic perspective in looking at power positions that this method what he's trying to say is you see don't just look at the rulings this method comes it is speaking with a history of power behind it and he's using that maybe with a um you know a mark of suspicion in saying that because these people have

1:40:58

been you know they've had power it's not you know how much can we always trust the sincerity he's coming from that perspective but it is um a fascinating observation here is ibn hazm speaking about what later on you know people like michelle foucault and such people and other people in psychology discuss in discourse analysis right let's move on simulation theory

1:41:34

well i spoke about simulation theory already and i do agree yeah it could be and yes somebody did say do you feel a deja vu could be a glitch well if the simulation theory is true then yes i would feel that if it be true fat hey akarim much love for the super chat it is uh shukran once again for the super chat i see saracen yes i've covered the jizya thing shukran i'm just going through some of these questions but i may have already answered some uh samia amin samial imam

1:42:12

samyal imam imam allah how can fake become relevant again in the modern discourse you see the way fit can become relevant is and i discussed this with uh in the interview with dr professor mahdi sajid i feel that maybe it doesn't need to be as much the issue the center maybe we need to shift

1:42:51

our focus to ethics but do wait for that interview to be released but if you did want to uh promote an organic growth of ferc and i do love it but if you wish to promote that you need to update all the rulings affect to the contemporary world and the truth is that we're so many we're centuries of updates behind [Laughter] not just one or two updates we're like you know we're basically operating at a pre-industrialization level in fear that like so all these thick books are pre-industrialization so industrialization hasn't even happened yet

1:43:31

[Laughter] what are we gonna you know it's like we're hundreds of years of updates waiting i would say look most of this law today you know if you read let's say you're reading okay that's a commentary on hadith but let's say you're reading something like that over there which would be in uh or even this true would the these are both commentaries on khalil oh sorry this is actually

1:44:09

these fifth books that you have commentaries on the vast majority of those chapters excluding the first chapter so you leave the first chapter aside and the last one might be on criminality so you put that aside all of the chapters in between are to do with transactions and trade and huge and variations in trade and permutations and nuances and oh you bought this and can you get a refund and how does a refund work you see we have these are just statutory laws we have statutory laws today that are much more

1:44:48

they're already there and in the past ferc and this is why when i discussed with dr madi i mentioned that you see the reason was so central and it was the main sought after science as opposed to you know it was more sought after than hadith or adarb or laura or language or it was much more sort of after than those why that's because it was it had

1:45:24

it had a career target to a trajectory a created career trajectory to it you would end up you see if you studied hadith okay what might you be able to do you might be able to teach i mean you will be able to teach you'll become a teacher okay what else you could write books and become an author it's not very lucrative back then being an author but okay you could um and being a teacher wasn't necessarily a lucrative job it would still

1:46:02

you know it wouldn't it had a kind of dignity associated with it because people saw that you were illuminating knowledge but not a lucrative dignity you may be able to be you know i know today we say you may be able to be patronized but i know we use you know to patronize someone negatively today but the thing then was patronage was to um to be able where somebody basically gives you a grant um so they say you know i want to i want to

1:46:41

support your work and therefore and the way they did it in the past the way they gave this was called what uh endowments and the way they did this in the past to scholars were you know when people were dying often sometimes when they were alive but they might think you know when they're in old age and they think yeah we chilled throughout life you know but now that i'm dying and i want to do something good before i move on so what they would do sometimes is if they were wealthy and wealth back then remember it wasn't money it was assets and real estate and crops and

1:47:21

you know in societies that were uh agrarian agrarian people oh he thought mostly don't know agrarian so societies that were kind of basically based on you know crops and farming and farmlands and all that stuff these agrarian societies people might have loads of lands and crops and loads of separate fields and so what they might do is say you know that whole cropland that i've got here this i'm going to set as a walk for a particular madrasa

1:48:01

or a particular let's say um even a scholar let's say or certain like they might do something like that uh usually they wouldn't do to it may not i mean it may have been to individual scholars but in the past they may have done it to households like this household of knowledge i'm putting them in like they this is a trust like we say today and they are the beneficiaries and so even though the person's own inheritors will always watch over it but they these people who let's say these students

1:48:40

as long as this madrasa keeps running they will be beneficiaries of the crops and the revenue that is generated so this is how these kind of things worked in the past endowments but anyway so what else could you do it wasn't a teacher was it's just it's like a teacher today you know you're not rich by being a teacher maybe a bit of pristine not prestige but a bit of oh i change lives but that's it however ferc in the past was like it had a trajectory where you could become like today a solicitor you could become a barrister

1:49:20

you could become a judge you could work your way up to a high court judge a supreme judge you could eventually work your way up to being in the presence in the courts of of the monarchs of kings so it was hugely i mean it was overwhelmingly lucrative so because of the money drive it generated a market and so everybody would study fit because obviously if you know you know because if you just want to pray nuffle you can just stay at home and pray not full

1:49:57

the people want the cha-chang my friend the cha-chang so the cha-chang only comes if you work a trajectory that has a career so that's why fek was so popular and today i don't think we need that because today is quite redundant for the most part even if we were to make up all these islamic rulings on things like refunds and this is how it works and what about 28 day refund or this day we've already got statutory laws for that why do we need to regurgitate the same thing and today even if you memorized and

1:50:37

learnt all these fake rulings what are you going to do with it you're not going to become a solicitor or a lawyer or a barrister or a judge you're just going to know it and become a teacher so if you're going to become a teacher then so that's why i argued for shifting the focus from fair to ethics about human rights and stuff but cool all right let's move on uh mango pics are super chatted much love mango pics you're doing it sid khan oh i've answered that defense not design of rye mufti is it permissible for men to wear shorts

1:51:14

during sports uh decent sports decent swords decent sports uh sports here is not an uh it's not an allegory so right during sports when there are no women around as in there's no women around on the globe there's no more women around at all i mean what would be the point of living if there were no women around let's just be honest

1:51:51

if there were no more women around it'd be like you know what what's the the least discomforting way to go all right people where's that gun where's that hankin is that the least what would be the least i don't know sometimes i think no no i

1:52:20

but life truly would not be worth living i don't know i mean that would be an interesting discussion i wonder what the people think would it be worth living maybe other people would be like of course it'd be worth living out what are you on about let's keep moving people next question um

1:52:54

you're doing it uh with the super chat how was sunnah developed historically right how was sunnah developed historically i'm not sure what exactly do you i suppose you mean the institutionalization of sunnah and depends what you mean by sunnah do you mean hadith by sunnah because the malikia do not mean hadith when they say sunnah neither do the hanafi's that's more a shafa'i thing imam malik saw the sunnah as

1:53:34

the guidance by the prophet the teachings the added teachings the kind of the periphery around the quran explaining it that was the sunnah hadith were documents that people alleged so he saw them as two very distinct things and often quite suspicious of hadith but not of sunnah and abu hanifa was the same but shafa'i was radically different he saw them as the same synonymized them and considered every single hadith to be a sunnah in his words famous words

1:54:14

not his final words but that would be interesting our final words whose final words were hey what's the worst that could happen final words hey what does this button do right so right so this um sunnah i think that's such a loaded topic i don't know because you know it's i could be going off in so many directions and

1:54:52

it's not even the question but i feel that it is important to understand that you see when islam was rising in the time of the salaf and just after so let's say so let's say around uh a hundred let's say 110 hijri so 100 years after the profit to about another century going on so that century during that time there was a huge struggle for orthodoxy

1:55:28

now to create to forge orthodoxy and i say the word forge here i'm not not using in a malignant sense but to highlight the artificiality or the superficiality and the arbitrary nature of orthodoxy that what defines because you see this this and prior to that i feel the first hundred years

1:55:58

i feel that orthodoxy if anything was um associated with um a kind of legitimacy a political legitimacy hence the debates of shia sunni umayya all these things of the first century of islam are all about political legitimacy they're not really about fair or how do you practice islam or what are beliefs in that i mean

1:56:37

these beliefs are involved in the political legitimacy but it's a different kind of belief structure it's more about you know do you support us man do you support ali do you support this group do you do that it's more that political orthodoxy is trying to people are trying to carve out orthodoxy through a sense of uh hereditary legitimacy and then what happens is into the turn of the second century so we've gone into 100 hijri moving forward

1:57:18

especially after hadith gets documented because of all of this you know the the drama going on in the first century and a lot of hadith are being fabricated so ibrahimovic documents hadith um he's commissioned by umar ibn abdul aziz in the year 100 to 101 hijri now maybe 10 years after that 15 years after that people start documenting islands uh ibrahimovin and other people now what happens in this era this moving forward from there so let's say 110 115 to

1:57:54

215 or whatever that 100 years there people are trying to carve out a new sense of orthodoxy that who you know why are you why are you the main body remember atlas doesn't even have a name so splinter groups have a name they have names but sunnis don't have a name there's no such name as sunnis doesn't exist i mean the word sunna exists and i suppose if you said al

1:58:33

sunna people would understand see it's very interesting that what would they understand if you think about it so so far the strategy to define the center has been that the periphery defines the center you understand pay attention this is going in deep this one profundity okay so we're going in deep people we're going in so look the periphery defines the center so we are

1:59:11

not shia we are not worried we are not jabariya so who are we we are by who we are not but so far we haven't said who we are because the identity for who you are as a positive entity has not yet emerged in the muslim world and we are what going into 200 years after the prophet almost i mean even okay 150 years after the profit so what how and

1:59:50

everybody wants to be at the center you see you want to be in the center and then you want to be in the center of the center you know like in the you have the heart in arabic and then you have the there's a phrase like they use it idiomatically that so swayed up and not so that like in this sense like because so that means black but what it is is they would say the tiny black dot

2:00:29

so when you open up a heart i mean cardiologists will know better nowadays but as the arabic legend generally explains it that within the heart there is if if you open up the chambers a black spot so when people would say you know like in english you say from the bottom of my heart so in arabic or not bottom of my heart for gratitude but here they would mean it more you know from the innermost part of my heart like meaningful what's absolutely dear they would use the phrase that from the small black spotted part

2:01:08

within the heart chambers or within the heart so yeah so that's what he says and the love of uh people he says you know people who hate on me their things are just external they are outside my my divana heart you know my crazy heart they he says

2:01:45

and the love of those who i love min hofi so that that is deeply entrenched within the you know within that the that black spot within the heart so yeah so people don't just want to be in the center they want to be in the center of the center that follow me i'm upon legitimacy now how do you define that so what they would do is obviously everybody's saying follow me like imam malik you know this is a true point imam malik would say look it's the people of medina

2:02:22

and i rep them this is the this is the this is not only orthodoxy this is the orthodoxy that you want to be following it is at the the center of the center lathe in egypt would be saying the same thing alsa you would be saying the same thing so what happens is during this time to carve or forge authentic orthodoxy the narrative is to become associated with hadith see the hadith project at this stage

2:03:01

becomes a tool which is instrumentalized to forge or carve orthodoxy that how do you know i'm upon the truth i'm the main mainstream muslim because i'm involved and associated with hadith so whichever scholars became involved with hadith became orthodox and hence imam malik because he was the dawn of hadith became this central figure and hence abu hanifa was deemed a deviant

2:03:40

in his day and age because he was not involved in hadith even though he was not a deviant but you see the people because he didn't have that label of hadith and and these factions you know like nowadays everybody says oh you know you know what's that uh hum sub you know what's that oh we're all one happy family singing songs that's nonsense you know yeah they they did have respectful times but they vied competitively there was rivalry

2:04:18

that don't follow him follow me and this always happens with religion so people kind of did their version of trolling and sometimes hating and hateful speech and hence abu hanifa gets it bad because he didn't have the shield of hadith to support him so yes so had the hadith project is a very powerful tool that was deployed during the second century of islam especially towards the latter part the mid to latter early ish to the end and into the third century

2:04:56

in carving out an identity for sunnis so the proto-sunnis were hence if you said in that time who are allah they never used to use this word they would have understood it as by saying the people who concern themselves with hadith let's move on people aban al-rakabi says uh doesn't mean marriage and nikah means sex yes that is true um all these kind of words are used but nikai is also used for marriage as well

2:05:35

you see in contemporary arabic i kind of differentiate i see nikah more as the islamic thing and i see zawaj as the kind of ceremony that maybe it could just be secular it could be non-religious it could be religious but it's the ceremonious event and the statutory the civil the the that kind of marriage as the wage and i would see that's today and i would see nikah as the islamic marriage

2:06:06

out of all hadith out there obama much love for the superchair how many do you think were real and true i don't i think hadith in totality are probably what maybe about five thousand hadith some people stretch it to about seven claire jones much love for the the stars alright derek lucky has followed a ride ha how you doing golden calf has super chatted salam musti many jews claim that the pashtun people are one of the lost tribes of bani israel sent into exile by the ace by the assyrians thoughts uh yeah i mean in pakistan they

2:06:45

did used to say that they said israel you know they used to say these are the lost tribes one of the last tribes of the israelites is it true it's not true um i don't think so generally so the way you know there's actually been quite a bit of uh dna research that has been conducted especially in india and also pakistan as well because you know these places it's interesting places that are obsessed with things like um castes castes and lineage and that kind of stuff there's a

2:07:24

lot of dna stuff that has people have been testing out their dna and am i superior to this person or am i what and they're not it's like in india they did a lot of the kind of dna analyses to see that you know the lower castes are they totally different people or are they not you know they were indigenous uh indian people many of whom may have come from the dravidian origin which was of the indigenous people of india you see and in india you they split uh often you have the uh what they call the

2:08:02

ani and the asi so the ancestral north indians and the ancestral south indians and in this we're including pakistan and including bangladesh and that whole thing the that ancient india and you find that the ancestral north indians so all of them are related so all people of pakistan and india and all of these are ultimately related at a base level but then the ancestral north indians usually have the r1 haplogroup which makes them

2:08:41

indo-european so they are kind of like they have a relation with central asia and europe so they share those haplogroups hence the languages as well and ancestral south indians don't have the r1 gene and so they are uh of a purer dravidian origin but they are still related but yet it's weird because there's enough differences as well like so it's and obviously this is what causes the huge fuss in india

2:09:21

um but anyway i get distracted so what they've done in pakistan is in several places they've done an analytic kind of uh dna uh overview of several different samples and what they found is mostly for the most part uh pakistanis i mean there's different so i know the below cheese that they will slightly disagree i mean not just they slightly differ but for the most part a huge part of pakistan they share a similar kind of haplogroup it's that ancestral north indian haplogroup

2:09:59

which is usually that kind of r1 marker that comes on and then they differ amongst themselves obviously and they have different things but but there was a group from hazara now hazara people surprisingly had a completely different haplogroup to them and that was quite strange that they didn't understand why you know just in the middle of nowhere this group just seemed to be completely not related uh genetically um to you know from a haplogroup perspective to the you know surrounding communities where all the other communities are kind of

2:10:37

related um so and this they feel that the hazara community were more closer at some point to the kind of um you know like the turkmen and the the kind of tartars and and those people historically and they feel that that there's a myth that um the reason it was called hazara is because from the word hazard persian word a thousand because originally this was a a kind of [ __ ] a kind of like compliment for a

2:11:14

military base of a thousand soldiers were kind of camped there and then they just settled and hence because they were comp initially complete outsiders that's why the kind of haplogroup markers still today are uh incredibly distinct to the rest of pakistan but that's just i digress but i think they have tried to research is there any semites like are they semitic like the jewish haplogroups amongst bhartans and i don't think they found anything

2:11:52

successful but do let me know if they do i find this discussion very fascinating yeah today i'm doing a lot of uh i'm going into a lot of discussions are drawing too much coffee so uh shamas leela leela

2:12:24

seven seems to imply that people looking for interpretation of verses are doing something haram can you explain yes you see the thing is look allah but allah does say that look this verse begins by allah saying that look we have revealed this book that from it our verse is that they are kind of set out you can understand them and then there are versus mutasa beheads that are clouded for people that and only

2:13:05

those of sound knowledge know it's that we that that wheel they know it's understanding but there are others who have like a disease in their heart that seek out a different interpretation for it now this verse presents several challenges not essentially but to us later on because you see when we read into this verse we read into it with too much post-islamic tropes okay there's a lot of islamic post

2:13:43

so like the post-islamization period um rhetoric and tropes and usage so for example when the prophet was amongst the sahaba several words didn't have meanings that we understand later on so the post-islam occurrence certain words took on certain meanings like like scholars scholars means the clergy but in the quran it's not talking about the clergy who the hell were the clergy in the prophet's time it didn't have that meaning so when allah says

2:14:23

that really those who have true kind of an apprehension of god are those who are people of deep knowledge that but ulama is used but you see today the clergy used this to tell you that look this is the position of ulama in islam but in the time of the prophet that couldn't have meant clergy because no clergy existed so what did it mean there just as the word masjid didn't necessarily mean it just meant a place of prostration

2:15:02

and later on it became a building that was a masjid so what i'm trying to say is there is a lot of uh post-islam occurring you know a post-islam occurrence uh that we that we several understandings or terminologies the nomenclature people the nomenclature is the basically the the kind of the buzz words the buzz words of islam that that occur that happen

2:15:41

they all happen much after the prophet so words like words like hadith but these are like the islamic buzzwords that the technical term nomenclature this these tropes these kind of words that appear this rhetoric this usage it is post islam once islam has been established so this verse contains a lot of words that become later buzz words to mean different concepts so words like for example mutasa bihar so 200 years later people start using

2:16:19

the word muthasha bihat to discuss theology akhida so bihat are those verses which are to do with god but a hundred in the time of the prophet muhammad wouldn't have meant that because that discussion hasn't yet happened so that wheel that wheel 200 years three after the prophet takes on a meaning that how you interpret verses of theology of belief to do with god

2:16:57

that's not what the word ta wheel meant in that verse it just meant the interpretation so this is the challenge in reading this verse that we are applying so much you know we've got so many filters post islamic filters and we have to remove them in my understanding these verses would have been referring to things like

2:17:26

when it comes to for for example considering dissing other muslims their iman like how when the hawaris appear this kind of mentality though because there are verses in the quran that say things like oh if you do this then you're forever doomed so people may be taking that literally people who may be misinterpreting certain words like so for example there was a verse in the quran

2:17:58

you know allah says [Music] that you to the non-muslims the kuffar of mecca you and what you worship are doomed you know for self like you know i can go to hell you and what you what you worship now some of them said ah but we were some people amongst us worshiped jesus ah that means jesus is going to hell because this verse can also because you said you and what you worship so jesus because they worship jesus that means jesus too is going to now this isn't what the verse meant

2:18:37

but if you were to apply an interpretation you could you could do that but it's a wrong interpretation that's what this verse was referring to people who are doing things like that i hope that helps what is your opinion on muhammad shahrur and his opinion the quran morality and critical thinking of critical reasoning i haven't read his book but i have watched several of his lectures um those that i could understand because sometimes his egyptian is egyptian or sorry his dialect i think he's actually

2:19:13

maybe syrian but his uh dialect can come off a bit strong but sorry i have watched and i have read a lot of his fatawa online but not his book so many of his fatalwa are very fascinating very interesting very thought provoking i i do like them i enjoy them but i haven't read that book have you uh i think that name is backwards it should be

2:19:44

has the quran ever been changed i've read online that there's no manuscript of the quran before 1924 that looks exactly like it does today i mean there are manuscripts of the quran right down to the manuscript we have but it's not the entire quran but several pages which is known now as the birmingham uh folio that we have right here all right we're malm muftiya al-maliki himself resides people allah so and and those verses did correlate but you have to remove obviously they didn't have vowels and dots

2:20:24

so you know what i'm trying to say is there are different you know whether they're going to be from parchments whether they're going to be from papaya papyri or whether it's going to be different things along the way there are several things that we have but they may not be the complete uh going you know depends how far back you want to go but there are several uh you do have complete um manuscripts of the quran as well um you have this uh where is it it's in actually central asia

2:21:02

in that they have one of the ancient uh must-haves but they also i mean obviously in i think in top copy museum as well but you see the point is the quran was transmitted as something that was taught on mass okay so yeah i don't so the question do i believe it's been changed no i don't believe it's been changed but i do believe in a dynamism of the quran and you can watch my um mind traps where i discuss that in much detail jeremiah you're doing it jeremiah you're

2:21:39

doing it why do some people say it's acceptable to quote weak hadith they say it's more likely the prophet said it then he didn't say it i don't get the logic that's totally yeah it's a it's a dumb argument but i i right i would say that if the hadith was weak but it fell under an understanding that is already established in islam then there wouldn't be a problem with it really too much like let's say you found a hadith saying you should give charity

2:22:18

but the chain is weak it's not really a problem because there's so much established ruling saying that so so long as if to me it's always what the hadith is saying that is primary and the chain secondary golden calf as how does farsi poetry compared to arabic my farsi reading is very very minimal i remember reading some poems that were written and surprisingly understood them so i understood [Music] a bit of um what's his name amir

2:22:56

and you know the i was quite surprised actually i was like wow and i think that's because they use a lot of arabic in there as well but it's really i i would love to i need to after my dialogue with shark zade and the pronunciation the iranian pronunciation of farsi peoples uh you i think i have to learn [Laughter] oh man man

2:23:33

the way they speak so um but yeah arabic poetry is great i actually find i do find that urdu poetry in some way i find it having a slight edge over arabic poetry but arabic poetry too sometimes there's some poems that are very hard hitting and you know they just wow you know you can't um you can't really mess with them but um i generally do find urdu but that may be to do with topics of topics being discussed and things like that because a lot of ancient arabic poetry the

2:24:12

you have to remember they haven't moved on to certain topics that develop in the last few centuries so yeah and the arabic poetry of recent isn't of that same caliber i mean some people obviously you know they are but uh what i'm trying to say is for the most part and nowadays contemporary arabic poetry is done freestyle without the the kind of poetic scales which to me is i don't call that poetry [Laughter] i consider that absurd like that's just just speaking words you know i'm just

2:24:52

saying words that are just sound nice i mean it is prose it's not poetry but yeah so that's um uh right some more sabur uh abdul has super chatter again much love sabor you do and 6 volume 61 volume 61 what the hell volume 61 that can't be right volume 61 states that ube nakab had some words and phrases in the quran that are not present in today's quran isn't it problematic mufti no um

2:25:30

you're right so all right now what i'd advise is you see there's different approaches to this and there's different answers now all of the answers can kind of be right they're not so sometimes there's some room for dynamism that's why the words may be substituted sometimes it may be a misunderstanding as well by companions so you have to take that into consideration as well um so sometimes some sahaba

2:26:06

placed certain duas because the dua the prophet taught them was like the it was like the rhythm was almost quranic in nature that they assumed it was a surah like allah like this this kind of what is that is read some companions place that as a surah thinking is the surah of the quran but the others didn't and they said that it was just a dua wasn't a surah so so that that's a plausible answer sometimes people do just make mistakes this is also the dynamism do watch my mind trap with

2:26:45

dr khalil and do check some of the earlier mind traps i did on the quran there is with of course dr shahzad saleem where we discuss his theory on all of this as well do check that out does islamic economics really exist no i don't think so i think islamic uh you see what islamic economics means to me like how i understand that term is basically saying that there should be some ethics

2:27:23

to economics as in you know greed shouldn't just run mad they shouldn't be mad exploitation they should it's basically these kind of ethical axioms and that is generally accepted you know it's not people do i mean especially nowadays with the civil rights movement sorry not civil but the rights movements um as a reaction to communism but giving employees rights making sure this statutory safeguarding making sure there's a greater framework these things do exist the the only reason people say about

2:28:02

economics islamic economics is because of riba and i don't feel that the rival of the quran is about interest it's more about loan chakri wow all right i've caught up with all of those people wow that's um i need to still you know i'm still waiting for my i get my throat does get dry you know i still i did have that doctor checkup um ah so yeah i gotta check the

2:28:41

i'm still waiting for an additional kind of scan on my throat i had that in endoscopy rather [Laughter] they like huh colonoscopy [Laughter] i'm sorry it's actually an endoscopy we're just gonna put the same tube now down this we we mistook it we thought it was the yeah so i did have that and the and the doctor said to me you know you're it's this seems to be some um soreness because of maybe acidity and

2:29:20

stuff like that that's why i've cut out all these kind of drinks now fizzy drinks or or cut out substantially anyway so that's why i have to go back to h2o [Laughter] anyway right so and he did say to me you know he said well i wasn't even expecting it but he said he was looking at it and he said well it's not cancer i was like huh i was like huh okay he said like it's not cancer i was like thank god okay it's not cancer

2:30:00

and yeah but yeah yeah people what's going on danielle ramirez arrive from me res you're doing super chatted much love was ikrama yes he was from the hawari and imam malik did not like him now neither did him the companion used to proper have like real beef with him you know he didn't look they didn't like him at all because they were from he was from the

2:30:37

hawaii now imam malik has let a hadith or two slide that were from ekrama because i don't know maybe that's because you know those it's just on hajj or something but it's not they were just generic kind of hadith but generally imam malik's view towards him was not to accept him as a narrator and especially if there's a conflict of interest right wow so mufti is there a difference between muhammad jinnah and theodore herzl you see yeah because you know if you're

2:31:15

gonna look at if you're gonna look at it from a uh i thought i'd built a drink there haven't now so um if you're gonna look at it from israel's perspective well i mean sorry let's just for a moment pause remove ourselves from religion and everything and look at it just from an anthropological perspective so they were you know we're not right now we're not in any speaking from religion race nothing imagine we're aliens just observing anthropology

2:31:54

to be fair israel has definitely uh from a human perspective pulled off a very great you know a very whoa like the feet that they've pulled off the the the project the israel project um has been a huge success and it's not only a success in terms of they managed to restore a land a territory but obviously they became

2:32:30

quite a superpower in doing so you know well no that's just because america backs them but they but they did achieve that status um also i and i'll tell you what i am actually quite like and this is from that anthropological perspective because they are tainted in a lot of tyranny and blood you know so much blood on their hands but the thing that i have to you know if i divorce all of that for a moment and just look at this from an anthropological perspective i am very wowed by the fact that they've

2:33:09

revived a dead language to the extent that everybody speaks it i mean i you know as an as a human um you know as far as human accomplishments go that is bloody difficult you know that pulling off a project to make everybody speak a particular language within just 50 years i mean it's it's very unlikely you can do it but they did it and i'm that is one

2:33:49

thing that i do have to say that wow you know as a human being that they because i wouldn't have even thought that that was possible like let's say tomorrow pakistan said let's just say pakistan said oh we want to speak arabic we and arabic exist arabic already exists so it's not even like you have to make up new words it already is a living language even in 50 years time you could never get the whole country speaking arabic i don't think you could unless i mean it like it okay i mean i don't know about

2:34:29

impossible but it would be a next two impulse it would be an incredibly very difficult task to pull off and because because the question would be okay what you'd have to do is everything but you'd have to you know you're gonna import okay today it's a bit different because you know we've already got arabic speaking channels let's say somebody wanted to learn spanish so you've got loads of movies in spanish you've got loads of these you've got curriculums you've got schools but you see with hebrew what they did

2:35:07

was they had to create a lot of it because it didn't it wasn't it was a dead language so it didn't have words for and and you need it at a level that you can run a country by i mean that that i'm telling you you know from because i'm into languages that is a very hard pull-off but yeah you know obviously it's a it's a it's a tragedy that these are the same people that pull this off that are such tyrants and oppressors that they you know brutalized an entire nation and you know the palestinians and killed them and tortured them and

2:35:47

butchered them and committed genocide with such impunity you know they don't care you know they have that attitude that i was saying earlier on about don't let people bully you into beliefs but they have that i don't give a damn do whatever the hell you want and it's and they and they've used that attitude despite being victims in in the very recent past despite being victims of aggression oppression and brutal tyranny they within a generation or two went on to inflict the same level if not

2:36:27

uh yeah at least the same level of tyranny onto a foreign ethnicity themselves it's it's wow you know it's there's so much in this story to take away poetically the tragedy the accomplishment the betrayal the human failing of compassion yet the success of human willpower to pull it off they pulled it off and it's a very you know it's a st it's a powerful

2:37:05

country today in the middle east um yeah so you know that's as an anthropological um perspective uh right okay i think of somebody's ass some modern jews actually borrowed european racism you know i feel that you know the truth is it's funny because i was speaking about this just last night with a friend about a different topic but the truth is that you know when you

2:37:44

fight monsters you become a monster and this is it's a law of nature and often you don't realize it and this is the thing that what you see when if let's say israel was set up by a nation that were not oppressed that were not murdered and were not victims of genocide were not these things i'm not so sure that they would have gone on to perform these same atrocities

2:38:22

that they did let's say the people that moved to israel even though they you know did slate of han and tricked the palestinians and you know and they let's say they did over a few people like they did you know harm and were you know despots and they did do a certain amount but would have they gone on to perform genocide the way israel does just like you know get planes and just bombard this whole settlement and you know let them die and i'm not so sure they would because i think you know stable people who come from a kind of stable thing i

2:39:02

think even though they swing they don't swing that far out i could be wrong but this is my perception i feel that you know people who've been beaten so bad and they've been tortured or they fought you know when you fight something dark like within you keep fighting you keep fighting it that darkness consumes you and even though you're fighting a good fight but it kills off some of the light that you have because it's it's an inevitable

2:39:41

trade-off and because of that you lack compassion and you become quite bitter and which then when you swing back the other way you can swing atrociously that's my theory and and you see this in and i was saying this in the discussion yesterday like um i was saying that you see this sometimes in people who fight racism uh you see this in people who like feminists you see this in people who fight like you see in principle they are fighting

2:40:18

a good fight and they are fighting a good cause and and this is something that needs to be raised but what happens is when you constantly become like it subsumes you like you become consumed by fighting monsters people who are just racist or people who just hate on women or misogynists these women are just fighting them fighting them that what happens is it results in these women just hating men or it results in sometimes just inadvertently becoming racist yourself towards let's say you're fighting racism

2:40:57

which generally for the most part comes from white people and consequently you just become racist against white people and this is where i i feel that you know the words of nature you know they could be written in gold when he said that you know beware that he said when you steer into the abyss into this darkness know that the darkness is steering back right into you and beware when you fight monsters lest you become a monster and that is an axiom and i and i do accept that the fight is good you know it's a good fight but

2:41:35

it's one that people have to be weary of and i think the same thing with israelis like they you know they the jews originally they had this maybe they they had a noble intention and they had this thing that let's go back and save ourselves from persecution but see they were consumed by that nazi kind of nazi phenomenon and they just swung back equally the other way

2:42:06

right so uh i love i'm a lover not a fighter exactly uh this is why i say that you know what just chill don't you see this is why i i'm i'm weary about like i'd say to people who become too consumed in these kind of projects that they are good projects but yeah chill enjoy life

2:42:37

so what is going on gora chacha says i like femininity too yeah we love femininity i like like like we love femininity what do you mean like what this one like so right people you know what we've gone on so much today uh we've got us still casey super chatted yeah juan you keep super chatting so i have to reply i've missed some super chats here

2:43:15

yusuf ullah mia joseph yusuf allah you're doing it you know some people they uh they have the the surname allah like allah [Laughter] i remember once i got a work email saying that there was a message left you know like somebody had said that right uh they said allah has been in touch and

2:43:48

i got the email he said allah has been in touch and he's asking about this why the receptionist [Laughter] so i i thought i thought we had a direct thing going on here

2:44:16

email me i'm getting emails now saying allah saying can i get back to him am i avoiding allah so this is uh so i'd advise anybody that whose dad accidentally gave him the name allah to change it for the love of allah change it so yeah um yusuf allah says have you read abner i've read parts of it i haven't got i haven't read the whole thing but i have

2:44:55

read parts of it it is good it's interesting obviously you have to keep in mind it's written back then and it's speaking about cycles of uh of anthropology really of human development how humans especially of power rise to fall cycles of of uh you know of uh diagnosticism almost like how do you how do people rule how to power the that it's it runs in cycles mufti what's the point of having faith in god allah it's not sam

2:45:32

it's not the question and the point is not that we have faith in god but that god has had faith in us allah that is what we need to contemplate uh kc super chatted is the hadith about the renewal of faith coming every hundred years authentic mohabbes claim hypnotamia was one of them therefore we should follow him but look whether the hadith was authentic it doesn't mean its application had to be that said there were certain thought processes of hypnotamia that were very good that were very critical towards

2:46:11

you know the critique the tradition it promoted believe it or not some things hypnotamia did promote uh rational criticism but it's just this kind of schizophrenia about him this kind of multiple personality or dissociative identity disorder people you think i can't psychologize hello you think i think i i bought all these degrees huh huh

2:46:48

i didn't go but people i think it's this this kind of split thing that he went through those of you that have watched in fact it's called split isn't it the movie is it called split the one where the guy has uh this 21 is it 21 different personalities but that was an amazing movie part one was amazing anyway so yeah right people let's as we gotta try to finalize let's go through was i missing anything here i'm there when i was uh oh no that was

2:47:27

uh by a clip by liam neeson actually and then when i was doing uh tekken 2 in istanbul the call to prayer the most i just called it like five o'clock in the morning extraordinary sound wow so the first week it was like second week it was like kind of quite nice but the third week i i was totally captivated but i loved it so then i thought maybe islam is the answer so there you go people huh you never know huh you could have

2:48:05

you next next time taken is released you might be wearing a topian thing and he's got like ach aki aki he's like listen i do have a set of skills i will find you i will find the i will find the delete so people let's i've allah i've come across something interesting it's been sent to me by multiple people for many a generation has pondered

2:48:43

why the movie has at times managed to acquire has successfully has been successful in the acquisition of uh substantial uh surplus body fat i mean a car game here what is going on how has the the mulvey sahib done this so but everybody philosophers big philosophers are like all perplexed you know dietitians and you've got like nutritionists and people are looking at it could it be

2:49:23

you know what could this be could it be a thyroid issue could it be hereditary could there be certain is it the diet is there too much you know just fatty foods in circulation in the uh in the surroundings of these people could it be a sedentary lifestyle what could it be where is this fatty cells coming from man where is one coming from from the hamburg is from the hamburger

2:50:20

where is it coming from you know i'm perplexed and bothered with this as the poet says saki what is it the poet says he says to the you know the barman that hold on to the drink

2:50:48

i'm i'm still deep in thought so what could it be what could this be so as somebody mentioned a moment ago that you know as as was it casey had mentioned that there's a hadith that you know allah sends people at times whether it's every hundred years every generation but there comes before us and rises a man i'm a messiah like

2:51:26

a divinely inspired voice we will rejuvenate the deen and give us fresh openings so as we were plagued and engulfed in the mystery of this surplus cholesterol and body fat along comes from we hear a voice

2:51:58

and there came a man running or maybe not running walking in this case yamchi not yes ah not running but he came or trotting along shall we say so this person comes right and he sheds his inside people his guidance so let's hear it from the words of the man himself mawlana abdullah

2:52:35

listen to this carefully so i said what did maulana what answer did malana give he said malana said i don't know they have too many doubts or something you know what i would have said i would have given an answer and i truly believe in this answer there was a day and time when there was a mentality there was a day and time there was a mentality if you make your sun a movie you'll die allah wants you to get rid of the hungry and made all moldies forever

2:53:15

listen to this carefully so i said what did maulana what answer did maulana give he said molana said i don't know they have too many dhawats or something too many you know what i would have said so too many dhawats people too much invitation for food so and i truly believe in this answer masha'allah believes in this as well there was a day and time when there was a mentality people pay attention all you listen you who are trying to emulate the movies

2:53:53

by in the acquisition of body weight and body fat be ashamed of yourselves it's for the mawlana's listen up day and time there was a mentality if you make your son a molly he'll die if you make yourself your son a mulvi he will die phuka bhuka is starving our starvation allah wants you to get rid of that and made all multis forever [Laughter] why to get rid of that okay don't think to yourself if you are going to make your better or your

2:54:32

better islam that he's going to die of hunger i'll show you allah's made of alpha and i'm telling you all of them by the grace of allah subhana wa tala you eat two two meals therefore eat four four meals a day [Laughter] [Music] allah said you think they're going to die of starvation i'm going to kill them with coronary disease and heart disease and high cholesterol and blood pressure

2:55:10

i'm going to kill them with obesity you think they're going to die with starvation atta oh that's not divine wisdom i'll show you divine wisdom [Laughter] divine wisdom is have you heard of obesity you think mawlana's are gonna you think mawlana's are gonna die hungry

2:55:41

in a die of indigestion what would you peasants know about indigestion you plebs [Laughter] you guys have two two meals two two meals a day these guys four four meals four four meals burgers burgers burgers steaks coal coal coal fries everything four four you you peasants what do you guys

2:56:10

oh my god you know what you know what would have been okay is if maulana sab didn't say the part that i sincerely believe in this as well oh god god you're doing it you're doing it i mean what god could have done is said look people are saying oh if you're if you become a movie you become you die of hunger because you don't get food you don't get a job i know i'll make it in this world that movies maulanas have thriving careers i'll open upon them successes of the world

2:56:50

you know barakat is open up these things for them they will be wealthy wherever they go they but allah's divine wisdom you know people will do this in their own time they make money that i'll give them high cholesterol and i'll get them i'll give them obesity what will they remember i'll give them a high bmi other people have a bank balance i'll match it in a bmi

2:57:25

[Laughter] ah you gotta love it though i gotta honestly it didn't make me laugh though somewhat you definite if he kept as a joke it would have been well funny if he but there you go people there you go right that just brings us to one final piece we've got here from our beloved which was uh we've got let me add a little bit of spice so below it here uh has said the philosophical roots rather of the modern fatwas that misinterpret islam

2:58:03

rejects misinterpret the quran reject miracles and permit haram are simply based on scientism and moral relativity or subjectivism i had been asking the imagine of this method to delineate to delineate rather an epistemology which he has been unable to do so because because the adherent rather the claimant in this matter your

2:58:43

honor has doesn't know the foundations of his own thoughts who refute scientism and moral relativism when you finish any rational basis for the removers sorry reformers you must mistake okay don't worry man everyone make little mistake he he forgot the f in all their shades and spectrums

2:59:22

this is uh this is basically explaining that the only one thing is he forgot the f although he gave the f to all other he sure put the f in islamic development [Laughter] he gave a good amount of f over there but he forgot the little f here but it happens

3:00:00

but our beloved he um he's he gave the opportunity to you know people like me who treat everything as comical uh to delineate my epistemological thought substrata but i was unable to do so ah you beloved i am below it oh sir

3:00:41

[Music] oh people's people's peoples that was two beloveds in one with a small d or we can say mini no problem but there is one dajjal with the big d okay this must be refreshing for a lot of people out there to know that that it's big as vouched for by the shaykh okay look that's the big deal what do you mean not big what did shaykh yasser

3:01:20

say he measured [Laughter] so can you excuse me can you refer to me as mr big please so anyway people there you go one with the d one with the f he's putting the f in the wrong places and missing out the f but giving the f else where and the other one's giving the d and the big d so people you know what it's been awesome it's been great as always um i any final announcements whoa look at all these chats just

3:01:59

uh somebody said multiple late take your earrings off earrings [Music] right so people uh right so i will uh uh i did show you just to if you haven't already like subscribed if you haven't clicked the notification uh we've gone above at twenty thousand we're almost twenty three thousand people just a few off so i think twenty three thousand ah jarathi you know tonight you know this one tonight

3:02:37

3:03:16

can mufti share his patreon thing there it is zebra you're doing it you're doing it right uh there is also a fans discord which is just open for anyone and i believe uh inaya or somebody dark mata will share the link here somebody if you've got it or zebra if you've got that you can share it here and that's for just regular people uh who want to join it it's not the kind of memberships one that i'm showing mindscape it's just it's it's it's like a fan page where people just getting to know each other and stuff

3:03:54

i have been asked to uh to do a kind of like a voluntary q a on the at some point which i will and i do appreciate all you know everything uh that all the love and support that people are showing on there and on whether it's here or in different places or leaving a comment all of these things are very meaningful people very very meaningful they make life that bit more

3:04:24

that bit more uh enjoyable there was a let me show you there was a poem i'm getting distracted now i read these of siddiqui people now keep me in mind when you write out you know the historiography the histories of those who are of this path of love of people of warfare of wafa means loyalty but in this sense he means of love and

3:05:06

that you know on this path i too have kind of forfeited my uh my peace of mind epic people for those of you i i always see uh flashes of him in that spirit in jonillia as well but he has this other one which really honestly this this poem you know it may not strike a lot of you but it it took me away and honestly took me into a an emotional mindset over this weekend i was i just read it somewhere i came across

3:05:44

it and i don't know why it was so hard hitting but it may just come across very you know banal or mediocre but it's sad i think is incredibly powerful he says thousands of flowers blossomed yet our caravan did not stop

3:06:26

means like stains but here in the sense like wounds and stains in that sense upon our heart with so many like basically with a stained wounded heart we have carrying such a heart we have we have traveled through these these gardens and landscapes and i just found this so incredibly deep because it's like that i had this thing in life and i kind of went for it but there were many entertaining things along the way as well and i kind of

3:07:06

it's obviously speaking about sacrifices maybe speaking about love i mean it could be speaking about whatever you it means to you as a person yes people i think with that we're gonna wrap this up so take very good care of yourselves as always much love uh if you want to reach out to me insta is probably one of the best places i do try i'm quite responsive there um yeah and obviously you can join the discord

3:07:45

that's something i will be it's part of my that's my kind of server thing but some people have spoken about mind trap if you have guests in mind you reach out to them ask them if they'll be interested in coming on and then you know we'll make it happen man sounds great take care of yourselves people have an awesome night wherever you are much love as always giorgio people right over and out was
