0:40

right and just I take it on see the reason for the mega delay people is that on simultaneously going live from YouTube so I haven't really done that before I was trying to set this up and he was a nightmare

1:07

god damn anyway almost almost gave up people almost gave up but Lily Hamed I didn't in alhamdulillah wa kafa or salat wa salam o allah rasool mustafa well I read in Ladino Toba woman behold our Master will be our third Medina tougher were bad for Salam Allahu Allah home I know massage my Kumu marhaban running lights bienvenidos a todos para la comédie people and swagatam swagatam right so alright people those of you

1:46

just tuning in from YouTube what happens special might happen to to all of you this is one of my first lives from YouTube I have disabled the comments the reason being is because it's difficult for me to focus on multiple platforms people I may be capable but not that capable our blog my couch the other credit visit there you know no I'm just messing it so you can any questions you want to share why don't you share them via Facebook so that way I know who's

2:26

commenting as well ah there's method to my madness people this method to this well now people think you know he's just yeah you could this guy's just is he just a loser you know in the words of mere that he made the legend the Urdu Don and poet who is called the God he's referred to as the god of he says in in one of his he says birthday a mere hark with boots tiny the

3:06

mere he seems to just be wandering around like a loser boots tiny nobody even bothers to ask him that how are you how are you doing how are things Mert a petty a mere hark why Putin he is a shaky me is that they Sadat beginning it all the the Indian subcontinent they have a big thing about being saying it so say it's are sometimes given a totally separate platform not that I necessarily agree with that but I'm just saying that they are in some of the in

3:45

indo-pak culture you will see there's this huge platform given to sayings and so he's he's saying me that he me that he's a sayin that in this in this pursuit of love even his dignity as a Saiyan has gone nobody seems to care about him anymore it's like PAML har kuch nahi nahi is a Shakima is that a Sadat be gay so what

4:24

same G I Louis Allen Alamos Allen you doing it you doing it those of you on YouTube whilst you've tuned in subscribe subscribe and you can like thumbs up and you can also post questions on Facebook yeah circus Anna tonight what we'll be talking about amidst looking at your questions I'll be looking at your questions as well don't worry don't worry don't worry hanging there people hang in there right so in addition to your questions we'll be

4:59

looking at we'll be looking at some things of one a review on my dialogue with Abdullah who gondola I'll be going over what are my thoughts sharing my scattered thoughts on but also yessir Adi has done an interview recently for which he's had some slack cello is Barbie Nasser modeling you know since we hey Nellie Vail a since we've got

5:37

nothing better to do in life in everything just just like God just forcefully putting ourself in every every place we don't belong so why not have a an opinion on that as well since nobody else is asking me I might as well just give my opinion hey you know this is a great scholar of hadith of the Muslim past goes by that I mean he's known as Abu Dawood theology so this a famous abu dawood so those of you that can see this this red and black book over there

6:16

yes is that just an excuse to go this this book over this book so this red and black book over there people that you can see that's a Buddha odd but I'm not talking about that a Buddha that abou de wood is like a pakistani abu dawood he was because he's from city stan which is probably in modern-day Pakistan he's the what people know when when you hear the word Abu Dawood you think of him but there's somebody senior to him using a slightly earlier óbuda would he's a

6:56

famous Abu Dawood had the epic Mahadi of his age as well also had the name solid Suleiman so his name is Solomon and by abu dawood name is solomon but he is known as a Buddha Buddha theology clearly see people and this one is a sister knee okay so you can remember him as a Pakistani and that one is the Elysee now without the reality he speaks of in his day and age he says he's complaining he says your miracle value in India like nobody seems to really care about

7:35

anything I've he's he describes himself he says I'm in Basra and I've got eleven thousand narrations from a particular resource and nobody's even asking me he says yeah I'm a legend I would say in a year nobody nobody's noticing that I'm a legend then he goes to ospa Han he travels to us Mahon which is in close to the modern-day city of Shiraz and it's in modern-day Iran anyway so he travels

8:15

to Oz behind people in Oz behan he says this is about the Elysee I of Amarra this in the house alone silent right so he says when I was in Oz behan nobody they was asking me either but I just without being asked he says I mean hurry and hustle without being asked you me i transmitted 41,000 hadith he says I mean radiant was al like nobody had asked me

8:51

but I transmitted a yellow 41,000 at ease like that like so the question is he was feeling undervalued right so so in some ways channel relating to mirza mr. Kameda he's saying that he's feeling undervalued is a Shakima it is that this are that Begay that even this respect of being a sage it has gone in this pursuit of love love people oh so solid all the

9:31

way from Turkey there was somebody would sent a message from Pakistan shukran shukran I did read your message but I was in between trying to fraud if robbery says could it have been more than 41,000 exactly but non-stop non-stop they say si you knew you like this and nobody is even batting an eyelid yeah identify with Abu Dawood the guy is going through a struggle he destroyed and then I asked you is it a coincidence that Abu Dawood then transmits the

10:07

hadith that the Dajjal will come from us Mahan I ask you in all honesty is that a coincidence naughty naughty you see obviously he was getting disrespected by the people of Oz bahan so perhaps either they misunderstood him or maybe through false memories or it came out in that way that he said oh that the jury is gonna come from Oz behan merchants are Chantay

10:43

actual ties so Robin says to ask for my dad a car accident in a leela he went may Allah grant him a swift and complete recovery I mean I mean and all other people who are suffering out there sala allah wa sahlan heyno partic enormous island Junaid right those of you just tuning in people you can click like don't you know what the art of giving let me teach you something about the art of giving nowadays people are so tight fisted you know when it comes I see some angry

11:22

faces yeah yeah angry angry faces yeah dookey Atma Keiko but agree yeah yeah I mean can you send this dookey Atma back to the bursa where it belongs just to make sure the add minute all right so let me put it on the momento momento

12:02

right so now so that's the that's what's going on so let's take some of your questions people Billy's in the house Billy you doing it you're doing it Henner G is saying she will counteract it chuckling chaccaron chaccaron chaccaron right so with hearts in a bottle with asti feet our head this is the thing that you owe you people your support your kind words you love your generosity yeah guys like shall I start acting super humble you know when you

12:42

get some of these guys they like some of these mallanna's so when they want to introduce themselves they act all super humble so they say fatty you know the most like the most impoverished the fatigue the happy year the most despised the actor the most most despicable you're thinking what is this guy what's this yes fetish guy what's this self-humiliation I don't quite get it so

13:18

right people what are we looking at thank God there isn't a middle finger on either we are you know if people want to if they want to hold a middle finger no eye problem I mean goona problem ah this it's all good it's all good Delta right so what's going on people what is bothering the awesome people my me gente my people my Facebook and social media family what is bothering

13:56

you can you answer my questions already aren't already posting has raised Shazia Thomas Allen Loomis Allen right so I'm chef Hamza Yusuf what do I think about chef hums are you sir okay this is a question what do I feel about share comes a use of being appointed his newly administrative post for the government or the Secretary of State on religion and things like this I think look faith today I I think that I would rather have somebody like share Hamza Yusuf advising I would definitely

14:33

have somebody like share Hamza Yusuf advising the administration are Trump's administration or whether the American administration then somebody else and I don't know why people you know look what it is let me tell you something folks people will never be happy there's no pleasing people you understand go with go with your heart wherever your heart leads you girl obviously guided by reason the voice of

15:10

reason right otherwise people it's so go with wherever your heart wherever your heart goes right so nevertheless let's get back to so this this thing off

15:47

share Hamza Yusuf I feel that he should he should take up the post I don't agree with this hating on him I think Sheikh Hamza Yusuf is his epic he's a legend you understand and we've got to it doesn't mean we have to agree with him in everything I don't feel that you see in my personal opinion I might as well give my opinion I don't feel that you see share hunter Yusuf is one of the he's like an icon for Islam in the West he is like one of the founding fathers

16:27

of the islamic renaissance in the west he will always have that maqam right so I think so that's that's my kind of love for him that's it I don't think Sheikh Hamza Yusuf deals with that many Muslim issues so that's my kind of critique of share comes Yusuf but that's the same critique towards all almost sorry most Muslim figureheads scholarly figure heads if they don't deal with the the

17:06

real issues on the ground because they they're all afraid of the backlash obviously I look at the backlash I get can you imagine what they would get so it what you can name all these scholars you know whether it's going to be chair hums a you serve Imams a jerk here I mean these are people who I deeply love it's other other people today I want to give later on my review on the interview of Yasir Qadhi but even yes are thee share here some are the stars no monolith on whoever like these are Americans I'm

17:43

I'm mentioning the these are like really incredibly popular people but you named them I'm trying to think of other popular names or Marsala man I suppose he doesn't get that involved in in knowledge but all these great kind of shook and Mufti on or the UK you're gonna get these colors none of them are really dealing with issues on the ground because they don't have the answers or they feel if they come up with answers they're going to be too radical and therefore either they don't feel comfortable in presenting those answers

18:21

or they feel that if they do say those answers their own groups will disown them so I will you know I what can you say they don't really deal with much and but that said I think they are many of them are legends in their own way and I definitely people like share home the use of I have the utmost if they're armed and for and respect okay so right okay right I will do a little later on as well as some people

19:01

have been asking about the mufti masala for tonight the mufti masala masala tonight segment segment will be on I'd like to speak a little bit about this Bihari gate and some thoughts on I've been asked I've been sent by a lot of people chef yaku be chef Muhammad Ali ah Kobe's new sahih al-bukhari and the claims so that so many people have sent me this and people have said can you speak up Cocker Jan party demand agent back there demand so what can I do people I is I

19:41

stuck you know I don't want to wrap the board but the boat is rocking you know so what to do what to do so I'll be coming back to you chef yaku B's Buhari claim a little later on uh-huh okay you know it's like sometimes you take a look at something and you're like a cha-cha-cha Oh what drama is going on here so that's a bit later on so there's a lot people at lot a lot going on yeah my

20:19

in this world of mine what are some let's take a few questions somebody said don't say anything bad about the show you listen on this Monday night written of thee there's no loyalty to anyone nobody is safe my loyalty is to Allah and his messenger bus bus and the voice of reason anything beyond that is not safe

20:58

so on this anybody at any point could go down huh trust no one there is no trust here you know it's in the words of in the words of John yessuh many cupca Hakim Herbert Muhammad John when did I say that you'll find salvation in love many a cup Cahokia offered our hero when did I ask you to remain loyal to me I

21:36

never asked for your loyalty or in the words of another epic poet okay wah far key Omid Jimmy huggy huggy that the this the pursuit of loyalty whosoever is seeking it may be seeking it there are people but whosoever me Jimmy huggy Unni yogi who saw every seeking that tomatoe they cannot hate to be oh I'm

22:17

just interested in seeing how long you can remain disloyal so that's the that's the driving force behind Monday nights with move T let's take some questions people let's take some questions the YouTube is in HD you doing it people you doing it alright because some people genuinely believe that the devil gives me insinuations and helps me remember knowledge and they feel that part of my pact with this is I'm not making this up now they actually believe that part of my pact with the

22:56

devil is I have to do these devil signs so just to pay my dues just in case a police says to me hey come on what's up I'm doing my part of the deal here why aren't you holding up your end of the bargain so I've got a kind of there you go to my homie demons out there right hang in there stay strong all right so right let's take a look at some of the questions was allama iqbal a dyani no he wasn't he wasn't caught eonni although some people have said

23:33

maybe his background was like that I I don't maybe his background but he himself was a Sunni Muslim right okay are you from small Heath I'm not from small Heath in Birmingham but not too far close to the rock close to the rock what do you respond to what's this how do you respond to the infinite regression argument oof copy hamari Salam kebab Vidya oh who is this shabbir go her Sahib walaikum A'Salam janaab aapke him to use sub

24:12

bunker k op I'll put it on Jude anything of course I'm our PK little better when the rest of the people are all they just extras it's really all about you so what somebody asked a question about infinite regress how do we respond to infinite regress I mean infinite regress generally isn't accepted by it doesn't make absolute philosophical sense infinite regress

24:50

means or what they call in Arabic the cell so the it's the fact that well basically if I say it could be anything but I know they're referring it to God here that well you know everything has to have had a beginning so therefore it must be God and then they're gonna say well well who made God well you know if somebody made God then and the whole point is it can't keep going back as in a cyclic kind of motion they must have been some point where it all began I adhere to that it's not about I think

25:27

most people recognize that infinite regress isn't logical it isn't too logical I'm not saying it's impossible but I feel that it's not rationally they're like it's not overwhelmingly supporting in fact it's it's argued against from a rational perspective that's that's the general thing right so what else what are some interesting

25:58

questions what awesome right so let me take a look what's going on somebody just messaged me that it's actually Obama's my own friend doing the angle doing the angry faces yeah yes yes it guy now what politics are you are you doing here what what game are you playing right so what's going on people piece by have a question if you're free will how come align the Quran has destroyed previous civilizations

26:37

right so mmm you know one people start thinking that I'm the spokesperson on behalf of God ha ha they start asking me to on some behalf of God up job they do so I give the answers or no look we've got to understand certain things this will tie into all Rudy's in the house as no sermon along Saarland we've got to

27:15

understand something that in the or an I explained this as well in my discussion with Abdullah gondol and I want to speak more about that discussion shortly but this point that in the Quran we have something which I refer to as Naruto logical truths ok so what do I mean by Naruto logical truths yes I need you to understand what I'm saying this is my term Naruto logical ba-ba-ba-ba Naruto

27:52

logical right so what I mean by that is that the narrative carries off correlates with reality the narrative from a holistic perspective narrative is the content of something of a it could be a story or an event or things like this but it's not not all of it has to be literal not all of it has to be metaphorical so some people could say well oh is this literal and always this metaphorical because you have literal truths you have metaphorical truths you

28:32

have symbolic truths you have but what about an amalgamation a collection of all of these that is what I refer to as a Naruto logical truth so the Quran contains truths which are narrow to logical truth so there may be in some events description so if you take a story of a prophet for example there may be some aspects of that story that are metaphorical and there may be certain aspects of that story that are literal

29:11

and there may be some aspects that are symbolic there may be certain aspects that are allegorical then maybe so it's an a concoction okay something that's put together of everything a kind of a composite it's it's got it's not just black and white its dynamic its 4k ultra 4k people that's what I refer to as Naruto logical truths so some parts of the story may be allegorical some parts may be so when you look at Adam Elyse and I'm story the part about the angels bowing to him and things like this in my

29:50

understanding is an allegory that part isn't real although Adam I believe is real you see so this is what I mean so it's like if I was referring to imagine I was speaking about an individual so I was speaking about I could take a figure lets us say let's say we're speaking about Einstein and then I said all this he was amazing and he lived in this time and he came up with his theory of of of general relativity or before that

30:28

special relativity and then I said oh he was a giant amongst men now that part is a metaphor okay that part isn't true but it's but it doesn't mean the person was a metaphor the person did exist oh I may refer to certain things about like if I said Einstein was changing the world now when I say he was changing the world I don't think he thought in his lifetime what he's doing is changing the world I obviously ascribing to him this agency

31:07

which he didn't actually have but as time unfolded it history played out in that way it's as though he changed the world because he kind of did in many ways with his with his understanding of physics and things like this but he wasn't when he was doing it he wasn't actually changing the world so I feel that this is an example I'm trying to make you understand that this when we as human beings speak about people we do this all the time especially amazing people so why would the Koran be any different it is a

31:45

living scripture that is inherently in critically dynamic because it's trying to mirror the dynamism of human beings okay so that was my point as well with Abdullah gunden so so coming back to this thing about look nations being destroyed and things like this you have to remember when the Quran is trying to explain these things it's some some parts are summarized so briefly that it's it's not that black and white but

32:24

it's just trying to get the gist across across to you okay so I hope that makes sense all right so let's take a look at what else is oh damn alright I did away with the comments there how would you advise a person to approach study religion okay I'll come to that opinions on Imam Ahmed Raza Han use of so deep is asking Ahmed Raza Han Mawlana really Sahib is a he's a scholar unquestionably a scholar of great influence from the

33:04

Indian subcontinent I'm sure the the maqam he's managed to achieve in the hearts of many people which he has unquestionably demonstrates that he must have been an incredible man must have been because it's not easy whether we agree with him or disagree with him but it's not easy to pull such a to pull it off which he did you know people some people sometimes mock him or they say he's you know he was clumsy or he was silly or stupid or things like this and you'll get certain books that have anecdotes of him you know like there's a famous anecdote where he's

33:42

looking for his glasses and it's on his head and he can't find him and they're trying to portray him as a dumb clumsy kind of man but in all honesty for him to have pulled off what he pulled off what for to have for him to have gained the sway in the hearts of the millions of people that highly revere him surely he must have been in an incredible charismatic charming and intelligent very intelligent personality ident I don't question personally question that I think he would have he must have why necessity had those qualities that's

34:20

what I feel that said I don't understand the obsession with him I don't understand why people are obsessed with Ahmed Raza hambre visa he lived he did his efforts he wrote his books and sure I mean by all means he he should be and whoever wants to take inspiration from him should that's why he wrote his books in effort just you know he wrote them so people read them that that's unquestionable you know there's nothing wrong in fact that's a right thing that he did and people who want to take inspiration should but inspiration is

35:00

one thing but making him the the end target of everything he becomes the obsession so I I see people modern-day scholars arguing that the earth that the solar system is geocentric why is this why is the solar system geocentric that the Sun revolves around the earth in 2019 people 2019 they arguing this why because a madrasah honza wrote a book about what a cool thousand thousand mckee foes jose Mubeen

35:37

as haircut a haircut is a mean or something like this or their haircut is I mean regarding the haircut the movement of the earth so he's got a book where he feels that the the earth isn't revolving the Sun is revolving now with all due respect a madrasah Han Saab was not a leading physicist okay he was not an astronomic kind of like expert or a scientist he was a person who did what he could for his day and age I'm sure in the eighteen late 1800s during the British Raj things like debating whether the the earth is

36:17

whether the solar system is geocentric or not could have been a debate but today in 2019 it's absurd and stupid to be debating these things you are just a dinosaur you are an embarrassment to be debating these things and today I see Muslim scholars arguing I mean you can't you couldn't make this stuff up arguing for the sake of this geocentrism just because but there was a handsome rotis I mean talk about blind following that's like I mean why are you taking his word

36:56

on science I can understand if you took his word in fact like here's a fatwa shall we wipe a portion of the head shall we wipe a whole part of the head and be saying well you know he interpreted this verse of the Quran fine I mean he's a scholar of Islam and you take his understanding but why are you taking his theories on on the solar system and the cause cosmos or on quantum physics or on he wouldn't know these kind of things or even if he knew them he would lack in knowledge it wasn't we are in 2019 it's a blessing we

37:34

know these things so move on people move on right what's this but the Quran in its pure textual form is not codified law that Cherie our British laws written and structured metaphors right he didn't how he just gave examples of literal and right okay so now Marley comes a lot of questions moving back and forth right this thing about the Sharia what is the Sharia by the way

38:11

Abu Anas has asked an interesting question I'll come to that Ayub has asked I think Imam Ahmed rubicon is seen as the opposition of colonialism he's not with all due respect Rosa Khan Braille we saw him may I feel was it in his own right a great scholar of Islam in his own right obviously I wouldn't agree or follow his opinions because I think they obviously outdated they were for his day and age which is the 19th century not the 21st century but I feel he was a great

38:49

scholar of Islam he by no means no means it it would be wrong to assume that he was at the vanguard or the forefront of fighting colonialism he wasn't if anything he didn't issue a single fatwa against the British as far as I'm aware in fact one of the criticisms hurled against him by the open knees and by Allah hadith is that he lived he he was born and he was born and died under the British Raj yet he never issued a single ruling against the British so this has

39:26

been one of the criticisms he was not he by no means by no means was the voice of resistance that's not what he was but I'm not I'm not picking on him I'm just saying that would be a total lie to say that that's like saying you know that's just totally misrepresenting history okay that so leave him to what he was and don't put him into other categories so he it's like saying Einstein was a great physicist but if I start saying tomorrow Einstein was the voice of the civil

40:05

rights movement and he was at the forefront he was the symbol of civil rights but he wasn't necessarily I'm not saying he wasn't for these things but he wasn't the symbol of civil rights and so let's not misplace people let's just keep it to facts right so the Sharia I want you to ask this a lot of questions coming back forth back forth I'm going to keep checking for some of some interesting questions if they come from YouTube I'll

40:37

say here right I'm sorry just right so one this thing about the Sharia look people most Muslims do not know what the Sharia is we have unnecessarily made the Sharia I into something which it was never meant to be the Sharia was not in my understanding okay let's explain what the Sharia was first then we'll explain

41:17

what it's not the Sharia was a social remedy to the problems that the people were facing that Muslims were facing in the in the prophets lifetime so if let's say there's an issue the Prophet would advise he would give rulings verses of the Quran would be revealed they would address issues that's what the Sharia was it was a social remedy to the problems the in real time that's what he was so as the problems would change so

41:57

would the Sharia that's the understanding that especially the Maliki method the school of Medina and many Olimar adhere to and amongst them is me right so what the Sharia is not the Sharia was never meant to be a holy a kind of sacred concept to be worshipped the deification of Occam this is what I call the deification of Occam it's to turn the rulings into God there is a

42:36

cataclysmic error on the part of Muslims of some Muslims the rulings were never meant to be a god we don't worship the rulings and this is a problem so to many people today Islam without the rulings can't exist because they feel there's nothing left to do like if I'm if I'm not being told off or being forced to do something then there's no point in in me believing in

43:10

God and that is to me and the greatest ironic absurdity you see you have placed the rulings the Sharia as a separate God you have made these akan it hurt whoo-hah Ellen ririn law so this is I am very much against this and I would say to people that as I would remind them of the

43:46

hotbar that a worker of the Elan is narrated to have given when the Prophet had passed when he said those mankini Abudu muhammadin he said whosoever used to worship Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then let him know that he has died and I would say whosoever worships I can then let them know that in a certain area that they will continue to change and as a worker or the alam unsaid and whosoever used to is with worshipping god for now hey Larry Ahmad he is alive and does not

44:26

and the same thing Allah is alive and he is constant the ark I'm are not constant so I would advise people to - to come away from the worshipping of rulings of the Sharia the Sharia if you want to call the Sharia sacred it is so by association I can accept that that the Sharia is sacred by association meaning that it's associated with God and with these things and it's not a kind of like

45:00

this sanctified a2e III know that I respect that that I can accept but in and of itself it is not holy like that it was just a solution for the day and age so if you look at many of the rulings given in the Quran for example they were never introduced by Islam Islam never introduced these rulings it simply just gave the rulings that the Arabs were already doing but it just plays parameters on them there was nothing so if you take a look at the the verse about which I spoke about last

45:38

week about Blood Money if somebody accidentally killed someone or if there's manslaughter and the compensation and the Quran says Padilla Thomason limited Allah Allah the that do you give a compensation the blood money which is in the hadith in the ma par and in other books for peanuts in Mena or fill enough sell not Minami a terminal even a hundred camels now this hundred camels where did it come from I know the Prophet said it in the hadith but where did it come from the Arabs were already doing this it was

46:18

from the pagan times it was from arguably from either either from the prophets grandfather from his time some people have argued that does it begin with Abdul Muttalib does it begin with some people have even said maybe harsh him some people have said other people other famous Arabs introduced it and it wasn't the point is this ruling already existed it wasn't something Islam introduced and that's important but this troubles some people because they feel oh if we start saying things like that then I lose all value for Islam but then the problem

46:57

lies within you my friend not with God the problem lies with you you have a problem you have the same problem that many of the in some ways the people of Makkah had in the time of the Prophet they acknowledged Allah but they felt Allah was true trancing and they needed something else something more tangible to attach themselves to and today many unfortunately Muslims have taken that quasi kind of being to be to be the rulings the Sharia they feel that that

47:35

is that that without which Islam can't stand there is no point having a God if he doesn't tell me off you know ignore button on again so you know what's the point I need at least a slap or to you that's the that's the whole you know the legendary line of Johnny Lee si where he says enlarged oh he hit a much burger the ajahn that the solution is that I'm

48:11

compelled and forced that's the solution Varna you he Toki seek in a Sunni man he says otherwise I've never listened to anyone so if you want so the solution is that you force me so that's the right so let's take a look at some of the questions people should we take some from Facebook take some from Facebook math alone mother o not touch that not touch that volatile

48:48

volatile volatile world touch T and the phone moved yeah what is this sorcery what is this alright so Sofia mood says again Allah created me a game he created you yeah yeah what kind of a relationship is this that you've got going with God he keeps creating you're like I just about got out of that one and then he created me again you're like yeah he came catching

49:23

me what's this game again Allah created me I didn't tell him to create me then how can he punish me even if I told him to create me I don't remember telling him to create me perhaps you told him but then you suffered from amnesia well so what similares possibly if he hadn't created me then I wouldn't have done any sins what if he hasn't created you and you simply are in the imagination of somebody else you're

50:01

simply an extra in the dream of somebody else imagine that your whole life summed up was just an extra yeah I was just an extra I was just walking around in the background there wouldn't be anything about punishment if he punishes me then he is a dictator he doesn't have any right to punish me he created me so he has to take responsibility I didn't tell him to create me haha yeah yeah it's

50:38

like a like a lover's TIFF going on here [Laughter] I didn't tell you to do this yeah yeah okay I we need to where is the love you know where is the love what's the hunk or sanim ha rakia Uncle Sam meh Archaea that the sanam and is a play on words here because sanam in order means like my

51:17

love my darling like that but it also comes from the word to mean Idol statue hunk o sanam meh Archaea that it was my love that she she she she she ruined me he says oh oh is he saying the statue ruined me hunk o sanam nay Archaea for nevada a china otherwise God was actually quite good that's an epic honestly water line by Warren line by John Elia the hunk o

51:55

sanam Nahar Kia Verna who da Achaia otherwise I was much better off with God why do I trust this statue this goddess that's what the poet is saying why do I trust this goddess I was better off with God but yeah so this hour I forgot the name of that yaar with our our tortured soul on momento is param param any hint there on mom has he gone off sigh finds

52:31

a Fame Safina Safin is the name of the tortured soul Doki Atma but a creates this the soul is troubled soul in our midst right well why did God create him huh at which can somebody yeah Mooka decree O'Meara like what can somebody go and find out please the brother is struggling do something find out for God's sake why did God create him so fame hang in there you are hanging there's gotta be some some

53:10

reason I'm finding out for you [Laughter] ah don't worry man everybody this journey everybody's on it everybody's on this journey and who says God has to punish you who says he has to punish you it's not God says I treat people as they expect of me why are you thinking so lowly of God why don't you think of him in an amazing way why don't you think of him as a rahman al rahim you know these words that you often repeat why do you

53:50

think of him as somebody vengeful and hateful and spiteful and angry and bitter just because the Salafis draw that picture of him sometimes doesn't mean he's like that so I would say that look it doesn't mean God is gonna destroy you and burn you and we have to stop living in this guilt people this guilt is destroying many lies honestly it's destroying many lives Allah says in the Quran Allah if Allah be a skeptic last is what why did what is a lot to

54:27

get out of punishing I'm not saying that for anything yes there are many verses in the Quran about things like the imagery of the afterlife scary intimidating who says these things have to be literal can they not be symbolic can they not is a lot incapable of of them being symbolic why no of course not when Allah speaks of himself what's greater than the afterlife is God himself when he speaks of himself he speaks in symbolic terms he says Allah who knows somehow what he will Allah is the light

55:07

of the heavens in the earth this is symbolism and the example of his light is like a lamp that's here and this and he glows and this is symbolism he's speaking of himself symbolically allies so what is former belukha bill Arcana you know what is the athira then why can't he speak of that symbolically all we do know is this is not the end of everything what is way to come we don't know ultimately we know that this this is not the end and we believe in Allah and the imagery in the Quran you can take it literally if you want I mean I

55:44

don't believe it's literal so this thing about punishing and all this scary was that just not the rubric that was needed for that day and age that discourse is that not how people would have been brought under that they would because they were so wild they needed certain deterrence to motivate them about NASA asks why are they so few scholars like Imam Musa Lee who were in favor of changing definite yeah that's a good question look people who question things

56:22

will always be a minority yeah this is why I'm in the minority people who question things will always be in the minority you know it's you know I'm I'm chef a great scholar I'm praising him haha why is it when I praise somebody uploader Giada yeah you guys start to think I'm gonna somehow dis him it's it's not like my character to do anything like that is it wait host

57:01

nirvan right so right in about the money isn't people so look I'm on chef a great scholar he was he was a great scholar he was a grease gun but he has this this statement of his way he says I never debated an island except he beat me and I never debated a jar he'll sorry except I beat him and I never debated a jaw he'll accept he beat me and people say subhanallah but i thought wait a minute wait a minute that's

57:42

equally just saying anybody who beat you must be agile he must be ignorant see but people never saw this statement like that they saw it the other way they just saw it as our mashallah mashallah so people who question things will always be in the minority nobody understands me this is the this is Plato's dilemma of the philosopher king that the king ought to be the philosopher but then because he's a

58:20

minority the majority can never relate to him and they will always rebel and this is the kind of the irony in Plato's Republic you see because the elite or to lead the most intelligent but then the common mmm-hmm people can't relate to the intelligent person so the common mob will be like [Music] Ravel so this is Plato's I summarized it for you guys Plato's Republic yeah I summarized it so this is part of the

58:59

struggle of this of this world people yeah let's take some other questions what else is going on so people like mumbles early who said let's change the fur dude other people did as well a lot of people did follow up on Imam Brazil is view a lot of Maliki's from the hanafis solomon opononi the Ottoman Sultan he changed the rulings and and substituted the show the hadoo with other punishments they were people but they were a minority because institutionalized religion doesn't work like that people institutionalized religion is never in the favor or never

59:36

speaking truly for the public you have to understand something institutionalized religion is about power you have to understand that people that it's about power that's what it's about and even the whole Easter even holy people in the past these scholars and great people whether consciously or subconsciously there was always a position of power an element of power many of these autumn our judges it was

1:00:14

their careers they used to rule over people see that changes the dynamic when I pass a ruling it gets implemented see people don't take these things into consideration they think these guys were just you know people just always praying Knuffle and always just like masha'Allah masha'Allah there's nothing ever human about them of course not they were as human as you and me they were as I mean they may have been more intelligent or as intelligent as us they would have been as cunning as any of us they would

1:00:50

have been as worldly as any of us don't think that they were some kind of angels so our hadith revelation or not okay I'll come to that in a moment so the owner man when they passed rulings it wasn't in their interest to always be so kind to the public it's not about kindness some of them were some of them were that said some of them were incredibly kind beginning with imam abu hanifa from the beginning i mean from the early days imam abu hanifa was very kind with the public and hence he was never part of the institution and he was

1:01:29

punished for that he died in prison refusing to become part of the institution and his mother is the opposite of him his mother is the embodiment of institutionalization Imam Malik is another example you know he spoke for the public and was punished for that whipped beaten so this is the thing you see this is the thing so yeah anyway people often forget this angle when they're speaking about scholars and they think oh my god how can you question that the motivations of scholars why do you think that they thought any differently you think they didn't

1:02:08

want to be popular you think they didn't want to for example you know have influence wield power you think they don't want these things of course they did don't be so naive don't be so naive people not to I'm and I'm not saying this by the way I'm not saying this you to two screens I'm not saying this to turn people away from the or I don't want you to have a distrust in the ulama I love them and I cherish them I mean you can see yeah you can just see one angle of certain several books I have of

1:02:47

people and to me these are great people but they are human all too human and I feel that you will love them even more by realizing they were human beings as opposed to the the halo effect of making them angelic right so I'm just trying to take some questions in surah bakra allah commands ibrahim to establish a press or do we technically follow prophet abraham not sure if you answered it um no I mean it mostly self can you comment on the idea of Karimi

1:03:27

every Muslim was born with a spiritual double Kareem carry me carry me cream cream Harry cream Calle what what cream maybe your thoughts are bit distracted cream yeah you can you can't convict in this all poochy harem would say why are people asking all these these naughty-naughty questions from me Wow

1:04:05

what is this what is this er oh you mean Kareem the Kareem of the jinn and the Kareem of the angel just everybody have an angel and devil with them do we all carry an angel and devil there's an angel right left damn you know I really struggle to know my left and rights people are gonna say yeah this guy's sitting here answering people's questions and yet he's handicapped on I don't know why that is

1:04:42

and so the way I tell my left and rights is I have to think of the hand I write with so I'm left-handed so I think left but then I'm confused sometimes because I'm I'm now ambidextrous I'll write with both hands so I think left right left right and then I've got to realize the stronger hand and I think left right so I suppose that's my disability so yeah so the left would be the demon devil the right would be the angel is this so we think we're going around with our crew

1:05:21

our little you're right there this is my is there anything else to put on the other side no right so that's in that's not true so let's say you've got is this the example that on our shoulders we've got like one demon yet whispering oh what a fantastic idea huh send messages to wait browse what

1:05:59

website and then we've got like an angel let's say giving us some good news like is that what we're thinking about to spray this corporate fresh into my own year by accident yeah of course not this is ridiculous we don't that's not how we work people might believe things like that but that's not true this hadith of saying look first of all I don't even think the hadith is that sorry but I think the meaning of it is kind of true I the meaning of history that my income

1:06:38

Allah Karim Allah who curry nominal curry nominal I believe he says Kareena Menasha Athena McCurry nominal melodica that there is none amongst you except he has allocated to him a sum like a companion but Karim doesn't have to mean compared but somebody that's joined to you something that is attached to you from the demon and from the angelic realm demonic realm and Angele Angele crown I believe that this is simply

1:07:15

referring that this is this was non-literal speech it was referring to the kind of insinuations that we have that we will have that a man is trapped between these states and angelica realm and a demonic realm as Freud said that look that that people are more moral than they think here far more immoral than they can imagine so this thing that human beings we kind of we fluctuate between these realms that all we fallen

1:07:54

angels or dignified Apes this is the the question the struggle of in CERN walaqad jalapeno in Santa Fe ass Anita Queen Samara De Danann who as philosophy that in San he is awesome incredible with the capacity that he or she has yet he is found amongst the lowest of the law yeah cha-cha-cha up yeah because what are you doing here ain't you meant to be inside as Johnny

1:08:33

Lee Asad Sahib said Dhamma to barakatuhu he said were far key without a job ziggurat ah he that Wendell when the topic of loyalty is discussed the usher aful monocot good taking missile he says that when the topic of loyalty is being discussed the most noble of creation meaning humans gave the example of a dog that this is

1:09:11

what we've resorted to that loyalty is symbolized and personified by a dog good thinking missile a cha hua sanam kyo phonic li hua for the art of good power that's true isn't it so I feel that these things yeah so these things are symbolisms and metaphors they're not actually true right so what let's take some other questions and then we'll go

1:09:49

over the analyses as well the reviews what is going on alright YouTube went there what's going on what's going on right what do you say about God being able to break his promise but God you said you're gonna do it on Tuesday hmm it's Tuesday and you broke your promise

1:10:17

that sounds so childish I'm better the distinction between good promise break and bad one you see Allah can do what he wants God can do and what this means what the promise element here is actually discussing threat the term in Arabic is why he did not what it's why it alas speaks it's cool hopeful ye can Allah go against his threat so he's threatened to punish people with the hellfire he's threatened to do this can he go against it and many allah ma

1:10:56

theologians of the past said yes of course he can he can go against right so what else people let's take let's take some Facebook questions those of you that are posting there and people feel why has mostly not answered them or momentum momentum just going in logging in there logging in I mean I

1:11:35

mean I mean all right now that's gone - sorry that's gone - mitral live which I don't want to go to right here I am questions how do you Daniel Steve oh brother Daniel Daniel Steve asks how should a burial happen and do you think it's right to bury in the UK when you only get the rights of the grave for 50 or 99 years after that they can dispose of

1:12:13

your body if your descendants if you have any don't pay again for that land right okay um good question look when an in San has left this world he or she have left okay it's not it is nice to be able to be remembered I feel that that that would be nice you know let some people remember me I guess after I'm gone

1:12:49

it would I suppose we feel that we live on in this dunya amongst people if they remember us hence it's a tragedy it's a tragedy when you can't remember someone do you think so that well or in in the words of the poem situm - yeah okay up 30-yard carne Salada so but that's the tragedy that to remember you I have to now concentrate that is a tragedy

1:13:27

oh oh oh those who have fallen to love so I feel that there's nothing wrong in wanting to be remembered even the prophets in the Quran have asked for this so you see the verse of the Quran why do I listen I said clean fill are kidding that and make those who come after me say a kind word about me and in the tafseer of this ayah many Allah ma like or Toby and all these people say it's not there's nothing wrong in wanting to be praised so I I think it would be nice to to have a tombstone and

1:14:06

have it not a mausoleum kind of thing a tombstone but be some way remembered but if it if you ain't it's not the end of the world you've already kind of moved on so in Muslim countries usually graveyards are kind of allocated and almost quasi sacred so they they usually in villages or places and they retain them as cemeteries but here you're right there is a leasehold ninety nine years as usual usually the general practice

1:14:46

and then it can be renewed by your offspring yeah I mean I I don't think it's the end of the world I think people can be buried ninety-nine years is still a very long time after you're gone and maybe if people if they renew it they renew it if they don't they don't if they don't then think of it like this that they not like her armies but then again whose offspring are they whose Nestle whose progeny are they obviously the Apple didn't fall far from the tree

1:15:26

so if they forget you then I guess they were only your offspring anyway to begin with so obviously it just goes to show that you two must have been a bit of a an ungrateful kind of but the point here is that look I think that's not a problem in being buried it's all good it's all good if you want to and I don't feel personally you know about burials and funerals I would really love for the Muslims to up their game if I can say that or to take it up a notch I think first of all we don't need to be

1:16:04

as panicky about the dead body as we do so people Muslims are like release the dead body release the dead body they want it released the following day I think they can take a few days you can relax you know it's not that you can understand in the hadith why the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have said don't let a dead body stay there it was the desert it's scorching heat a dead body you can imagine what the heat is doing to a dead body the preservation methods were not there so do not delay because it's going to distort and mutilate that figure so don't do that

1:16:43

now in this day and age when people are in the morgue and they're having like let's say it's gonna take five days or a week I don't think that's the end of the world and I think Muslims need to calm down a bit with that's my advice not that they're going to listen but still I would love for the orlimar to to be creative and speak like that or about that the other thing is I would love for the funerals to have a memorial you know it's such a shame that we don't have that our funerals are so disappointing

1:17:21

so disappointing people turn up for a salat or janaza which is the ritual which is fine martial arts of ritual is a farewell kind of ritual farewell but that's that's good that's fine say a little dois and they gone and then people sit down and they do thicker and everybody that comes says a learning mercy a learning what I see and then everybody says a Lani mercy and then some guy says Fatiha and then everybody says and then you just see people are just watching each other blogging it and then it's all kind of and then another guy comes and

1:18:00

he says Fatiha and then everybody does the same it's so boring to be the honestly it's it's like it's such it's such aa there's no and then people are just chatting or they're on their phones why not have a memorial why not have something that actually remembers the person that died that that why not actually speak a bit about the person that died as in have something to present this was the the guy or the girl this was her or this was him this is where they were born this is how they

1:18:38

live their lives they were survived by this family this was something that we remember them by this was something that they often did this was something that would be such a nice thing to do you know it'd be so I I don't you know I I don't go to as many funerals as I should but I sometimes I've been in funerals and I've got no idea who this person is just I've heard some random name a child muhammad full-on koujun aza is gonna be the funeral and people Allah Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar done alone he might see a Lennie mercy and I feel that

1:19:17

why not this was an awesome opportunity to tell the people who this person was Johar may to mighty care culturally you know in the words of me that to me that what did you leave behind what was your legacy what used to do what did she used to do what were they likes what were they you know just something they were a person for God's sake and I just feel that this we so like this and I wish Charlemagne Muslims incorporate this army will be so

1:19:55

nice to see something be so heartwarming to see some you know if funerals were like that I would go to so many funerals - it'd be nice - it's a shame but it'd be nice to kind of see people and I think it would it would also give a true meaning of a condolence to those who have who have lived on from the family you know hearing these things summing up the person's life it's you know it's good it's good I think but that's some hearted off carry you know it's some thoughts that I present to you Fame

1:20:34

circle be my roofing of the Sriram Nessa you can either hold on to them or let them go with kindness so the right so what are some of the questions are we meant to keep our right shoulder uncovered during the Tawaf whilst in ashram no there's a certain part of the of the Tawaf some of the laps we you do that that's all it's not all of the laps

1:21:06

Rama has said salam of the sabha what's your discussion with abdullah Gunda although i personally can't stand the rhetoric his discussion was really good to watch I respect the fact that Abdullah remained respectful in these questions I was also impressed in the way you answered all the questions sat there and watched the whole thing la Hammer G ba you doing it you doing it right so and I want to speak a bit about that let me just did the Prophet weep heavily when he saw his mother's grave there's

1:21:44

some narrations I don't think they are authentic but it's very I would believe that if the Prophet did attend his mother's grave he would have been emotional so I think that's very plausible if it did happen it sounds very genuine it's not like it's not something that sounds kind of made-up is it obligated to write peace be upon him after the prophets name not at all not at all it's not robbed League of lega Tory it's not even obligatory to say it like this you know that this you don't have to but

1:22:24

it's something that really Muslims ought like we do out of a love for the Prophet that you know my peace and blessings be upon him the Prophet kind of taught us this the art of giving if you like through sending blessings upon him some Muslims have turned this into a hijacking opportunity so if somebody doesn't write you know this I'm more pious than you holier than thou oh why did you not write salah Holly this guy must a stop for Allah he didn't

1:22:57

write oh let me fully inactive God must hate to probably must hate Islam I would never do that I would always write he not these kind of people are what destroy Islam you see if you want people to send peace and blessings upon the Prophet teach them how to love the Prophet don't try to

1:23:34

intimidate them or blackmail them or strong-arm them into kind of saying this stuff guilt-tripping them or trying to trip them out of the fold of Islam oh you know real Muslim hmm that's do you think that's how the Companions around the Prophet behaved that they of course not this is now these things are not like hell heaven compulsory kind of issues these just courtesies propriety issues people etiquettes that's what they are right so right okay somebody had asked me about

1:24:14

the truth issue all discussed that in a moment when I speak about Abdullah Gordo's discussion with me what are your thoughts on the Jedi world fest which will be in full swing on the 18th of July looks like I'm missing out wasn't Nicki Minaj supposed to be the and now she isn't so but how the heartbroken surviving this tormenting world ah

1:24:53

alright tell God my thoughts on it look I I don't really to me these things don't bother me let people do what they want to do why do you you see the problem is when you suppress people to that extent they become when they have an opportunity they go wild you know they go crazy because it's been suppressed let them just be who they want to be even if you think it's wrong but let them make the wrong choices you know why is it alright for me to make my wrong choices but it's not okay for those

1:25:32

people to make the wrong choices it's found in you know Lester Elaine Bemis 8 there you're not somebody to micromanage or control them let them be let them be people if they want to go to a concert let them go that's the you know if they want to invite Nicki Minaj let them if they want to it's not your business why are you so caught up about oh my god oh my god you know how can Nicki Minaj with these people into Saudi Arabia what do you think Saudi Arabia is for God's sake what do you think this is you're living in some kuku world if you think Saudi Arabia is some emblem of

1:26:11

Islam of course it isn't it some of the craziest stuff going down in Saudi Arabia in the kingdom they call it the kingdom people al Monica in the Monica now who on film America the Monica is notorious please those who know know write this it's very little of this you know let people the it's it's not like they're doing it in Makkah doing it know in a different place anyway that's my approach if

1:26:49

you're unhappy with it stop it you're unhappy with it don't let it happen so me doesn't bother me that me people can do whatever they want that's my approach to life right so could you provide your thoughts on Mohammed II job I haven't heard what he says so I don't want to just make it up so I'll leave that for another time right okay let's move on to our summary of first of all I want to give some feedback on the discussion with Abdullah kondal then I'd like to discuss some points my thoughts on yes and I'll be share is and

1:27:28

how these interview with I think it's called 21c it's like a kind of podcast interviewed with them and he's faced a lot of criticism and then maybe a quick bit of masala of tea masala people right so right so first of all my discussion with Abdullah gondol I was I I absolutely loved the discussion it was a great opportunity to have a dialogue I have been in touch on and off with of the lagoon them not so frequently in touch but I've received some messages I've sent him some messages over

1:28:05

Facebook for about a year now and I just never really he had asked me to have a dialogue last year but I was just caught up in my own thing and and he reminded me again recently and I thought well why not let's do it let's do it yeah and so it was a great discussion but I feel it was a very truthful and honest discussion that's what I felt I'm not saying you need to feel that if you watch it but that's from my side and the purpose behind it was to show how people

1:28:43

with different mindsets can talk to each other and how they can with reason put forth why they or justify I suppose their standpoint okay in correlation to the other like why do you why do you understand that it doesn't make sense to you but why does religion why does faith make sense to me the gist of what I was stating if you want to sum up the the whole thing the gist of it was that you see bigger than these little finite

1:29:21

issues of Islam you can come to you and I do I've made many videos on this you know like how do you answer slavery how do you answer this how do you answer that I so these are the the kind of what we in Arabic we call the juice yet the the intricacies within religion within faiths but then you have the universal you have faith as a whole as a collective why faith my point was before we even get to discussing the finites we need to discuss the universal issue why believe in anything and I felt that that was an important aspect

1:30:00

why because I wanted to show when I and I want to continue showing these the complexity of this discourse that this is not a simple discussion when people say you know why do you believe it's dumb to believe that it's not actually dumb to believe because the fact that we believe in something and I was anchoring this in some other topics like consciousness for example how do you answer consciousness is this not the one of the greatest mysteries that we as humans and that we're struggling with I mean if you look at some of the leading

1:30:39

and I never got to get on to this point but if you look at some of the eating physicists some great physicists and I people like Bernard car and many other people they feel that that we we've arrived in physics from M theory which kind of is ties together all the superstring theories so if you go right into the quantum level up to the cosmos level multiverse theory I'm not saying it's true but even taking that so you've got M theory and the multiverse theory now what they feel what is missing in

1:31:15

the middle is mind the consciousness and maybe there's an ultimate structure in fact Barnard car is working on that an ultimate structure that could possibly bind together the grand universal theory of everything that would not only bind together and super string theory with perhaps a multiverse but also have consciousness in me so I wanted it because what I'm trying to show is that reality is complex it's not simple and we are treating some things very simply

1:31:53

in an uber reductionist manner like we're saying okay so where where is faith where is God but then you know where is consciousness where are these extra so for for example in theory to work which is the main kind of super string theory there must be 11 dimensions I know in the bosonic kind of string theory there's many more in the 20s and in in super string theory this 10 dimension so you've got the three dimensions that we have and the element of time a bird in string theory super string theory you have another six

1:32:33

elements and in in M theory you have another seven on top to make eleven dimensions where are these dimensions where are they I mean is this my point is that this is real I'm not this isn't I'm not making this stuff up this is real stuff so I just wanted to acknowledge get like put that out there and say that look it's when we have learnt about these things it's not so easy to dismiss the topic of God as just a oh it's just

1:33:13

silly it's it's not silly it's not silly and it more than anything it provides so much meaning to people's lives what do you do with that where do you go with that that why do you feel that it's okay then to dismiss that so easily it's not to me that's not that's not dismissible so easily it's something that provides so much meaning to people and so that was and so this ties into an element of that discussion where somebody had asked me can you elaborate on when Abdulla gone they'll ask me about truths and I

1:33:53

said that I feel that yes the or on because he asked me how why do you feel the Quran is true and I said it well it depends on what you mean by truth because I feel the Quran has Naruto logical treats and I've explained that a little earlier honest it's like a holistic approach to real metaphor symbol symbolistic symbolism metaphorical truths all kinds of truths put together as what I'm calling or what I'm referring to as Naruto logical truths so he said well look I said well what do you mean by truths and he said well it's quite simple I mean by that evidently like jinn the Quran says jinn

1:34:32

but we can't see the gene we're on the gene and I said yeah that is empirical truth empiricism is the approach of quantifying measuring things what we do in the what scientists do in the lab that is empirical things we can actually tangible data and I accept that I accept empiricism I'm not against Emperor's I love science you know I have a background in psychology I have a degree in science I am very fond of of science I love it but it's unfair to make the

1:35:12

claim that human beings go about the day-to-day lives through the prism or viewing the world through the lens of empiricism only in fact that is not true at all we do look at things empirically but much of what we look are much of the things or many of the things around us that we deeply value are not empirical and I gave the example of friendship of relationships relationships are not empirical human beings value them so much and this was my point that so many things around us and I gave the

1:35:52

discussion of art I gave the allegory of art because I'm sorry the analogy of art because I was trying to say that if you want to speak about quantifiable data then in the world of art these these things these paintings for example they have quantified they have quantifiable prices they not just they have a value to them you know something and I spoke about whether it's going to be a Vincent van Gogh kind of painting or whether it's going to be a Picasso or it's going to be a Pollock or whether it's going to be a Reuben or a Rembrandt whatever

1:36:31

we're looking at these things have amazing costs to them they have amazing values would you can you say that so for example we could take a week we could take a painting that's that's sold at let's say you take a particular painting that's sold for 82 million is that a false claim and you may say well know that but that's subjective and you say well it's subjective but it's shared there's an inter subjectivity

1:37:08

it's not just one guy saying oh this is one mil eighty-five million or eighty two point five million this painting for example that's not what's being said okay that me not what is being said so the question is that what people agreeing on to the value of something is that not real because truths simply mean when when I say to you that this is the truth I mean this correlates to something real it translates as something real now there's many forms of reality that are

1:37:47

real they are very real to us they may not be tangible like relationships are not tangible they're not actually physical possession proper you know the things that are things that are own possession these are not tangible I mean I could say look I own this phone but the concept the proprietorial claim of ownership is not something that exists it's not you know what makes that mind just because it's in my hand or because

1:38:24

I've made a claim money is it is it is another example governments laws rights these all of these things exist in the sole psychosocial realm they exist in our mind because we've shared the value of these things so what I was trying to say is you accept these things as being real enough so is it okay to simply view something through empiricism like if I said our human rights real our human rights real like is the value of life

1:39:02

real can you okay you know where does it say where does it say that the life of I'm just saying in nature it doesn't show us that the world of human life or any life is sacred it doesn't show anything there's nothing this is these are arbitrary understandings that we share as human beings and because in these existing the interpersonal space they're not like you can't measure I can't take out I can measure the weight of this phone I can measure the I can measure the how how it looks approximately in terms of color I can measure certain things they're

1:39:41

quantifiable I can't measure things like like for example laws like you can yeah you can enumerate them but what makes them real it's just that people have agreed upon them what makes money real it's just that people have agreed upon money to have a certain value what makes these paintings so valuable it's just that people have agreed on these things now it's not that's what I was trying to explain that there are different layers of truth that the empiricist lens of truth is is good for a particular thing

1:40:20

for when you're measuring something but to take Scripture which is like a holy book and say well we're going to measure the veritable 'ti in the truthfulness of this book so somebody takes the Quran and they say well we're going to measure the truthfulness of this book by simply the lens of empiricism like we're only going to measure what we can measure so it mentions an elephant okay now we can speak about an elephant it mentions this so we're going to measure it like that is that an acceptable way like to me

1:40:58

that's not enough for scripture because when you look at human beings lives their lives ain't like that what the scripture do for people it gives them meaning most people have never most Muslims have never read the Koran with meaning they've never read it with meaning yet the Quran is a book they're little kitab you Larry Murphy as a book as a concept a scripture as a concept it provides so much meaning to the lives of people is that does that amount to nothing that was my point does that amount to nothing is that just like it's

1:41:37

useless because I can't measure it but then if we're going to take that particular approach then why aren't we doing away with everything why are you doing away with relationships why aren't you doing away with Authority with laws with governments with none of these things can actually truly be measured in that sense they're just human being with human rights all of these things so that was my kind of approach that we need to be much more dynamic in when we look at Scripture and I'm not saying that people need to agree with this by the way I

1:42:15

just wanted to be able to have a sophisticated hopefully that was the hope and it was dialogue with somebody we I can express myself like that and I think it was wonderful I did love the the the dialogue and I did say I look forward to many more I'm a I'm going to look at my timetable I'm a this coming weekend have a similar dialog with Harris Sultana I did actually want to have I mean we'd been in touch as well and I saw his dialogue with hezonia Posse and it was once again incredibly

1:42:51

respectful civil and it was really thought-provoking so I would like to have a dialogue with him so Challen maybe this coming weekend I'll let me just verify let me just sorry ensure that I can I can make it that's all right so that's that and I felt a lot of people what a lot of people will love the dialogue that me and Abdullah go and they'll had and some people felt that it wasn't entered like it was it was informative but it wasn't entertaining enough in the sense that I wasn't bashing him and he wasn't bashing me and I think that's just dumb

1:43:31

tribalistic thought I I was not there to bash him and he and I wasn't going to agree to a dialogue just to be bashed I mean this is I mean what is the point and Abdullah golden would you know that I'm sure he wouldn't want to do that so this is just dumb speak you know people being very kind of Neanderthal speak

1:43:57

is you Muslim you fight run fight this wasn't what it was about so I wasn't looking to do that and I would have been disappointed if it was like that to be honest with you and Hum delight wasn't and I did read quite a few of the comments and some people were like that they were kind of saying oh how come they were upset with him why didn't he get to corner me enough and I felt look that's the stupid up on the cheesiest yeah I don't easily get cornered I was like

1:44:37

well obviously that wasn't the objective it wasn't what we're trying to do we're trying to build bridges here and not burn them and yes I wanted to share that summary and some people were kind of hating on him saying that he's an ex-muslim or third atheist kaffir dirty kaffir blah blah blah all this kind of stuff guys grow up grow up honestly what is this what is this you know this this is not the this is not what islam teaches this is not what the poor I know the Prophet would have ever taught you to do ever the Prophet didn't go around in his time just bad-mouthing Abu jahil

1:45:16

or all the people who who kind of opposed him from Medina he didn't just also from Makkah he didn't just go around oh I'm doing that in fact he made off with them he prayed for them you know I mean this it disappoints me and some people have genuinely raised some concern concerns with me they've said that look that he is very sinister against Muslims and he's very hateful and he's very bitter and he's very venomous and he's made a lot of videos mocking Islam mocking the Quran mocking

1:45:55

Allah mocking his messenger and and the same thing with other X Muslims as well that they this is what people have said to me some people have a few people have actually messaged me like that and saying that look we understand he's very nice and respectable with you but really this is what he's like so we want you to take that into consideration and I feel that look this is my heartfelt response okay this is my heartfelt response first of all I am grateful to you guys for reaching out to me for my kind of safety and my concern as in looking out for me so sugar you know may Allah bless you guys

1:46:33

secondly I want to say look people who hate Islam and people who mock Islam whose fault is that like I want you to think a bit deeper here who's at fault these people have never met the Prophet I've never met the Braun these people haven't met the Prophet they've never met God I've never met God you've never met God when somebody says I hate the Prophet the Prophet was a warlord he was barbaric or he may have done some good but he you know he had barbarism and he was like this or he you know they say horrible

1:47:12

things about the Prophet well yeah that we lad that he was a pedophile or he was like this or he was a murderer or he was these things when they say these things we did they get these things from did they for example make them up are they saying things like oh the Prophet really was just a Chinese person I mean are they totally making up stuff they're getting this from what people want Muslims of putting out the Muslims are treating other Muslims in this way they're putting all this stuff to

1:47:51

Muslims that this is what the Prophet was like all the prophets had killed him the Prophet said with a sword the prophets at least the prophets at least the Prophet married a six-year-old stuff for Allah we as a Muslim collective are at fault not these people not these X Muslim naturally they're going to be bitter obviously and then look at the hate that they get like let's just be honest the hate that they get of course you're gonna hate back you know it's just

1:48:30

natural like I've seen some of these people people people won't just hate on you'll get people with big beards holy religious so yeah you dog this you mom your dad and it don't stop thee oh we're gonna rape your wife I've read comments like this we're gonna rape your wife like what kind of wow like who's representing religion here like who's representing the Prophet so naturally you're saying if somebody was saying these things to me I would be hurt I mean to some extent I mean I may block out a lot of it but to some extent if so many people said to me

1:49:09

all these horrible things and then I will react so I understand that these guys are better I understand that they say things and they Mock the religion but I feel that the religion gives them the freedom to do that if they want to do it - it doesn't Allah is not that like to me my understanding of allies not like he's so weak that if people mocked him he somehow crumbles and gets all angry and like I can't take it now if that's the picture of God then you're worshiping some kind of a child that's

1:49:47

not God you need to find God and worship God because that's not God so to me these things don't hurt Allah they don't hurt the Prophet they don't hurt Islam if somebody is bitter I want to understand why are they better as opposed to just saying well you know oh I'm not going to talk to this person he mocks Islam by that definition I'm sure people feel I mock certain things we have to honor the freedoms that people have if they want to say something even if we don't like it let them say it's not a problem you know doesn't sure I

1:50:25

wouldn't say those things but it's it's them it's their freedoms okay they have freedoms which are enshrined in Islam and in the world that we live in so that's my piece on that so I hope that that was just some feedback on that I want you to chat quickly about share yes it'll are these interviews well before I get into that I wanted to make a quick announcement I've been asked but there's a a group of doctors that are going out they've been it's been on my mind to kind of announce

1:51:01

this and I just wanted to and they're going on the Hajj and what it is is they're getting involved in their volunteer GPS who will be going on Hajj to provide free medical consultations to British people especially maybe to others but to British in Makkah and Madina and this is I know this quite a few people they can be contacted through Facebook if you search w w british Hajj

1:51:39

delegation o UK you can find them I know people like dr. rip on is going in a few of the people who I know personally great people so Masha Allah may Allah bless the efforts and you know they're doing a great work for Humanity so with that note there's also a an enterprise of a project of a friend and student of mine Momo nama do all those of you that know him he's running a project called Muslim and Millennials which is to do with young Muslims especially in the West and how the kind of the pathways that they're going through the thoughts the discussions it's it's a very an

1:52:18

awesome enterprising project they've got a fundraising kind of crowdfunding effort going so people look out for million Muslim Millennials or Mamadou his page and kind of support they cause young people we need to kind of support them big look they're Muslims their minds are in the right place and they're kind of cool so that that's that's that's awesome we need more of that to be fair right so that's it and somebody had been upset about this of Palestine I think I'll discuss this

1:52:55

in more detail later on what they said is that somebody reached out to me with a heartfelt kind of message and I think he may be Palestinian that's why but he said that I in a previous clip had mentioned that that they should just settle with a two-state solution and he said that he was really disappointed and hurt and stuff like this that I said that you see look I am against all kind of oppression I really I am I'm against gas me I'm against oppression right and

1:53:32

I am against like most if not all Muslims out there and non-muslims against the tyranny of the State of Israel in what they're doing I do I can't understand how they with great impunity can bomb innocent young Souls and things like that may Allah grant ease to those people suffering the unquestionably my thoughts and to özil with you guys and with Muslims anyway wherever they're studying with us or wherever they're struggling wherever or suffering whether that's in Rohingya AMR whether it's in other parts of the

1:54:09

world Kashmir Afghanistan Iraq Syria wherever and all humans not just Muslims right but the issue here is what is the greatest thing the greatest thing is the human life this is the greatest thing people we've got to a point where we feel now that no it's Muslims should die for that that they feel that Muslims ought to die for the land of Palestine and I get the fact that most human beings not just Muslims are very

1:54:47

passionate over land and they will be willing to die but do I feel that it's worth dying over land I don't feel it's worth dying over land I don't feel it's worth I don't feel that Islam instructs you to die over land Islam does instruct you to yourself that is true but Islam also teaches you that look at time sometimes you're not going to win and the truth is that when we look at the state of affairs right now they just so Palestinians are just suffering and the rest of the Muslim world is saying to them look now hold on so we've created a narrative that they

1:55:27

need to hold on and die for it don't worry it's a great cause but the people saying it ain't prepared to die for it it not the ironies all the rest of the world that's egging them on to die for it they comfortably sitting reclining in their armchairs and just happy living life but they telling these people no you guys don't punch just die for it it's worthy but why is it worth it the Prophet said that the honor the honor of a Muslim let alone his blood or her blood is a drop of the the Prophet said the blood of a

1:56:06

believer is worth many fold more much more in the eyes of God than the entire Kaaba the entire cabin doesn't mean that much human life is above everything the rest is brick and mortars mortar people it can be replaced so I would say that the main thing is peace having some peace being able to live lives and not being murdered it is very unfortunate what's going on but it doesn't seem to be stopping and so of course I would say a solution whatever the solution be I as

1:56:44

far as Palestine being a holy land a sacred land in all honesty that's a separate discussion of theology I don't actually believe that Palestine is holy in that sense because there is nothing from the Quran was so another actually proves that that is authentic I believe that it was a land where many prophets lived I accept if that's what you mean by holy then yes if you mean by far Association as in the Israelite prophets lived there Jesus lived there you know Abraham from wandered around the if you if you want to believe that John yeah yeah was there and these great

1:57:24

prophets lived in that part of the world then yes that's true they did live in that part of the world but if you mean that it's holy as in Allah has made the land of Palestine a holy place forever till the day of judgment then what we do we get this feeling from because if we're going to be honest the the evidence that the Sunnis have for these that we as the mainstream Muslims have for this is not actually strong because what what Muslims say is Masjid al-aqsa which means the farthest mosque but if we're gonna be honest there was a debate in early Islam that said the farthest

1:58:03

mosque was not in Palestine but it was referring to some a point in the heavens it just meant a point of prostration because he said me nan Masjid al-haram which was not a mosque at the time the the Haram which was Makkah the Kaaba was not a mosque because in Makkah wasn't a mosque when the Prophet lived a it was run right it was run by the pagans but it was just called Masjid meaning the place of prostration Masjid al-haram the sacred mustard in a Masjid al-aqsa the farthest point why would the farthest point be Palestine and then the other issue was that who pinpointed where the mustard locks are was because nobody

1:58:42

ever witnessed it so allegedly in the time of Omar Kapil akbar a Jewish scribes and all this is where it was close to the Temple of Solomon oh okay I mean how do you know it was the u k-- a black bar met the prophet and refused to accept islam i mean he was in the time of the prophet didn't embrace islam surprisingly embraces islam for some reason in the time of our martyr of the LaJuan and then he seems to become ever so knowledgeable about islam and most of the things that creep into Islam from Israelite texts come through him Kalama he spreads all kinds of stuff and one of

1:59:22

the things he spreads is he teaches say tomorrow deal on with the Prophet prayed I mean how how did he know where the Prophet prayed he wasn't no Muslim was the if it was Palestine let's say and the Muslims that allegedly transmitted the narration of the the night journey most of these people weren't Muslim at that time this was a Lee Mecca who's trans me I mean let's just be honest like these things and and this is why the Shia not many of the Shia refused to accept that Masjid al-aqsa was where the probe was in Palestine they said missile laksa was

2:00:01

in the heavens and that's why I'm even till today many of the XI I still believe that but the Sunnis on this point if we're gonna be honest our arguments are weak just because a Jewish convert said this is where it was we all accepted it it's like okay but obviously to the Jewish person it is gonna be holy so he probably just tied it in with his Jewish background and and Muslims just kind of went with it so I don't buy into the theological aspect about Palestine being a sacred space like that if you mean sacred because many prophets

2:00:41

live there like Jesus lived there and thing then that's fine I accept that argument but that if you mean like it's holy like for today like it has rituals then I don't think we have any strong evidence to show that that said that doesn't justify the the brutality against the Palestinians in any way it's unacceptable while Israel are doing is I mean it's inhumane but unfortunately they're not gonna stop so my point was the preservation of life comes before the preservation of land I wanted to kind of clarify that because some people were upset but that's my my kind of

2:01:20

thoughts on it right guys moving on to quite quickly the chef yes said godly a lot of people had sent me yes so a quick point on the John the Jerusalem things somebody had asked that Moses told his people enter a lot of Edessa the sacred land and it was sacred for the Israelites it was sacred I'm not saying it wasn't sacred for them that why they built their holy temple they obviously to them they were told that this is going to be your holy land in the Bible and in the Quranic quotes that as well about them saying you enter this

2:01:59

sacred land I'm not saying that that to the Israelites it wasn't sacred does that mean it's sacred for the whole of humanity where's the evidence for that that's what I'm saying now you can say well I'm going to extrapolate from that that because Moses said to them you never said to us you know but if you're gonna say well by extension I want to take that I mean I don't see that as strong evidence I'm not saying there's nothing that you couldn't lean in on anything but it's not if we're gonna be reason based we're not gonna find many things that really show it being such a holy place and if

2:02:38

it was such a holy place the Prophet would have encouraged people to go there and this hadith the Abu Hurairah narrates I can guarantee that he said don't travel to accept three pilgrimages Makkah Medina and Masjid al-aqsa I can guarantee you he picked that up from Kabul ABBA he picked that up from because Kabbalah bar is one of the teachers of Abu Huraira who influences him on many things in fact in them what time am Malik brings a hadith on a bull radar saying I traveled to Mount Sinai so I could spend some time with camel Appa and he taught me so many things and so this is part of the

2:03:17

problem right so right so coming now moving on right so there's been a bit of controversy I don't know how big of a controversy it is but surely a third party has had an interview on 21 see where he's opening up and trying to be quite transparent he's had a lot of hate for it what are my thoughts on some of this and the gist of those of you that haven't seen it I'm sure you can check it out the gist of it is he's trying to say that we need to move on the Institute's of the East are outdated the Institute's of the West we you know and

2:03:54

we need to rely more on local role EMA and things like that I heard the whole I went through it I think it's about just under two hours or something always about one and a half hour or something now he does feel he appears to have moved on from where he was in the past and I commend that I still feel that people like shakey I said oh are the the standpoint he's even taking now even though it's a big morning it's more enlightened or a bit more he's kind of owning up to a bit more he's not owning up to the whole thing and this is the

2:04:31

problem he's not he's still too fearful of the backlash of his sectarian kind of group because he says in there no I'm not I don't care about any backlash I don't care about criticism it's not true because even when he was speaking he was so hesitant to say certain things and then he kept qualifying them with caveat saying oh we need to stop idolizing the scholars of the east of Saudi Arabia but then he would say yes but you know I see your point but I don't want you to misconstrue this I don't want you to and I feel that this is exactly the problem

2:05:09

you know this is the problem that will always enshroud people like Sharon will call the unless they completely shred this shroud but if they do that their own following will eat them up so they have that this is a battle that they will continue to stay on because they can't provide see because he was trying to say that oh the Salafi RT that doesn't really make that much sense anymore I mean who today really in the reason based in 2019 believes God has one foot and two right hands and he jumps around and moves around and does things like

2:05:49

this and has you know these kind of things as Anya's like two fingers or this is stupid who believes things like these and he was trying to say that look this art either is man-made but he kept kind of coming back on his word he was saying and then kind of try to qualify and try to apologize almost for a and say look look I'm not saying I'm just I'm just saying yeah you know that kind of approach and I felt that mmm you know it's good I commend you for having the courage to be somewhat transparent but I feel that if

2:06:27

you really want to go out and make that difference you have to completely become transparent which I fear that you he may not be able to do I mean I hope he does but I at this stage it's far from it we have to also remember that it is unfortunately and I know I'm not I know he's changed now and I accept that but the the problem of this dogmatism that we're struggling with it was unfortunately people like Sheryl kabhi who were involved in the making of that dogmatism they this is their Frankenstein or or they are a part

2:07:04

of the manufacturers of this very Frankenstein that we are dealing with now so what and I feel that that had you know they he does admit that look yes I I had these kind of views but he doesn't I'm not saying he has to own up to this for me but a personal kind of oming on his own level acknowledge that his fear fears that were campaign promoting this kind of dogmatism for years on end has contributed to the problem that the

2:07:43

Frankenstein and the monster that he's trying to grapple with right now so I mean I hope I mean I pray may Allah and I hope that he has the strength and courage to kind of completely become transparent and and to just be honest and say look guys this stuff is just it's just made up like I'm not saying you can't believe it you can believe it but let's just be honest the Prophet and the Companions and those and those people that came after them didn't really believe in things like this or we have definitely have no proof that they

2:08:21

did so yeah but I he does that and until he embraces the the true voice of reason it's difficult to really provide solutions for modern-day problems because if you're gonna be going out on video saying things like Chris you know saying Merry Christmas is Haram or saying this is Haram or saying this you're still creating a kind of separatist Society and this was another strange thing I found in in the in the interviews that he spoke about or maybe in the UK

2:08:59

there's enough Muslims to create a political party I thought what on earth are you on about like that that is the last thing Muslims need here Muslims don't need to become more segregated we're already too segregated they need Muslims need to be part and parcel of the society not just kind of living in enclaves their own kind of little caves that's not what we need and that's ridiculous and I'm this mean if that's what he meant when he said that that's a very disappointing to hear so yeah I mean this that was something that he

2:09:38

kind of mentioned throughout the whole thing and he highlighted how places like Yale had really opened up his his his cognitive capacity or his analytic skills had been you know sharpened when he went to Yale University but there was an irony that he said that local scholars need to people need to rely more on local scholars which was awesome

2:10:05

but then he qualified it by something that just canceled out the whole thing he said but the local scholars need to at the same time make sure they get verified by all their peers a chart I tagged up this is what we called up I kept in here hey Humber a curse word hey it's our fault I thought you were genuinely giving some some insights little did I know that you

2:10:41

would just dishing out they need to they need to come out with innovative ways of thinking but they need to at the same time we get that vouched by all the appears in scholars around them at church this is when you stick your head out look and then go back to that cuckoo-land forgetting that even he despite having a platform which is a Salafi platform which was handed to him on a plate and through that he got his following forgetting that even he right now for saying this is being disowned by

2:11:21

his peers so they were my thoughts I felt that mmm maybe he can you know inshallah love to see him come out with more kind of enlightened things I'd love to have a discussion with him in shall lie in the future if he but this is the problem you see he what I mean I hope he changes his view in the future but he won't he won't otherwise have a discussion with people like me and

2:11:59

that's once again the big problem with some of these figure heads hmm they don't really engage with the day-to-day issue and they don't want to deal with problems in real time but yeah nevertheless I was asked to share my thoughts and I share them I definitely agree with a lot of what he was saying I agree that this is a Franken sign that we need to get rid of that we need to stop you know exactly exotic sizing the East in the sense that anybody who comes from Pakistan a maulvi must know so much better that's not true or Saudi Arabia

2:12:36

the same that local allama are talented we need to kind of refer to them I totally agree with that I totally agree with him saying that Yale University is much more competent than Medina University I mean that's just a given Metheny University does it produce anything honestly I am totally unimpressed by Modena University I to me if somebody said I'm going to Medina University I'd just be like okay I don't know why on earth you doing that but okay there must be some reason it's totally unimpressive Medina University doesn't even score anywhere

2:13:16

on an academic scale it is I mean it's a university but it doesn't even count as her today is in a poor and terrible condition but at least it still counts it's this doesn't even count it's like like okay so yeah but I mean so he highlighted some some valuable points and he did get a lot of criticism but still it took a lot of courage to own up to that so I do commend that so sheriffy SFG keep it going man keep it going hang in there stay strong stay strong that's what we're talking about

2:13:52

hombre stay strong right so guys I know it's getting very late so some masala segment right so I've been asked a lot of people have sent me a few posts to do with sahih al-bukhari and chef yaku B and they've asked me what is going on here buddy you've critique Mahadi but yet chef yeah kori mohamed ali aqua B claims to have been have brought out the most authentic

2:14:30

version of Sahil Bihari you know I heard this and Hum sera come for Joe here most authentic narration of body okay I was confused you know I got the confluent so I was like what is this about like what is what is chef yaku be on to here and so I several people were sending me

2:15:08

this and I was like wow like I need to really investigate this ah hello and behold I cha cha cha cha Syrah marketing hurry yeah this is simply marketing right look people so there was this several people several posters several statuses saying that chef yaku be who by the way I think is it was a great person I don't have anything I don't harbor any

2:15:47

ill feelings to a chef yaku be I think chef yaku be is actually much more revolutionary in his thought than then his mureeds allow him to be I think he's much more forward-thinking he aware that he says things like shaking hands with women is not Haram I'm a way that he's thoughts on muscle Han revising the rulings of her dude and things like this are very forward-thinking but he's restricted to say a lot of things in public I think out of fear of losing the kind of the following that he has and that's a separate and awesome subject study for

2:16:25

someone that way does the power lie because you think you'd assume that the power is wielded by the the kind of cult head there and I'm not trying to say but in honesty all these sects or cults but I'm not trying to say that in a negative pejorative sense but you'd think that when you have a like a group think the power lies with the figurehead but then the figurehead is so compromised to meet the requirements of the masses that this is such a phenomenal research question that we does the power line then why

2:17:04

does why is the figurehead so restricted cuz you would think he wields this great power but amazing I I'm just so wowed by the if somebody does research on that please share it with me right so let me tell you so there was a lot of these statuses and posters saying that Sharia will be has brought out the most authentic version of Bihari based on the soul Vanya the Sinfonia copy people so everybody's wowed now I've obviously made a detailed video on Baha DK explaining what the Sultana and all

2:17:43

these things are over a year ago but humko conduct I am I'm just like somebody in the corner so you know everybody's like what is that on about right whereas obviously I'm not a grande share a grande share over 30 power I love my Sahib nobody's gonna really listen to me so now that Sharia Hobie I said this everybody Wow Sultan ya Shah Sultan Annika lager yeah yeah so everybody's

2:18:20

after the song Tanya so let me now pause that for a moment very briefly if you haven't watched my Bo Hardy Kate and and you're bored why don't you take some time out and watch it it's on youtube remember to Like and subscribe otherwise this are not nice right so right people you've got to understand something Buhari we nobody has an authentic manuscript of Buhari today as in going back to a man Bihari all of soil Bihari comes through one student called Ferrari despite Imam Bihari having thousands of

2:18:59

students it only comes through this one who by the way nobody that ever knew him ouch for him is reliable in hadith that is one of the biggest problems with sizable Adi but let's put that aside he then transmits this through several students namely six or seven who eyes yes are the students but these are the main ones out of the six or seven three are the top key figure heads you have Muslim li you have even ham away you have Cushman honey these are the top three you have others as well even a second and other people as well as mother was here was a girl's mother was seeing other people but these three they they actually admit

2:19:37

to moving his copy around as in putting this hadith in that chapter heading a changing the chapter headings do you think they admit to this this is accepted so far what I've said is an accepted fact no see no TV this one fact these three there's a student of this called a Buddha a lahar we remember him as the guy who originally comes from Afghanistan is originally probably a Pathan but amazing why because obviously apart from being a fan of hadith he's Maliki and Method people so he's a legend right so I was around how do we is the student of these three so

2:20:16

portions of his writing that people copied from him or found today throughout the world and other people that come just after him some of our Marwa Z's some of people like Allah Seeley who come slightly around his time and just and then some people after so these are like we're going five six layers after Imam Bihari and you can find some portions of Sahil Bihari when this reaches the 7th century of Islam there is a guy called you Nene a sheriff a venal you Nene a Hambly scholar who is commissioned in Egypt I believe now he is commissioned to revoke review Sahil

2:20:56

Bihari so he does it's a long project takes him probably spans probably around over a year now he really works on it he gets the help of the famous grammarian even a Moloch they get rid of all these errors inside Bihari and this new revised version is called the you Nene copy the you Nene copy is actually lost okay so that's lost as well nobody on earth has you Nene's manuscript does not exist that's all anybody who says that either does not know or is misleading some people copied from him so you have

2:21:33

one person Abdul Wahab a new ad he copied from him so two of his copies are present right people have them in museums and things like that and then there's a few hundred years later you've got some people out of a Surrey is one you've got another person who come in the 11-hundred so we're talking 500 years after 500 years after you Nene who happened to claim that they have a copy based on a copy based on a copy based on a copy based on you Nene their copies are found so this is the kind of and you have other people around

2:22:11

that era whose copies are found now fast forward to the beginning of the ending of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century sultan abdul hameed the second Ottoman ruler Sultan he commissioned a group of scholars to review siyul Bihari to get the the best copy they could so they got these copies which were based on the Uni Nia they based on they're not the actual copy of uni Nia they based on me and the different manuscripts like I mentioned there are based on it they then put it together and made one copy then they

2:22:50

printed this copy this copy they made was called the Sultana the first version of the Sultana this was edited by a group of allama maybe 17 18 a great sure formal Azhar who took out hundreds of mistakes over a hundred at least they documented they took out several mistakes from this manuscript and then that got printed this was printed by a publishing house called Adaro Bullock and then this became known and widespread as the Sultana all copies today of Sahil Bihari are based on this

2:23:29

copy that are widespread all of them so you can unless it's some rare copy that's trying to but you can go to your local corner shop if your corner shop sells Bihari it's going to be based on the Sultana that's what it is they're all based on the Sultana so now we're going to reconvene this story with this new project that sure yeah ubi has launched so sheliak will be has announced that mike this copy is so amazing because it's based on the so

2:24:03

tanya which was which makes no absolute sense because all copies now present today are based on the Sultana yeah so I don't understand so when he's saying that this is a incredibly unique and the most authentic so there's two things that what he could mean by that one he could mean that if he meant that the the print like I've it's on the best quality paper and it's got the best colored fonts and the best colored and I've done some extra I don't know editing notes

2:24:42

and things like this and that's what he's slightly taking an angle at and saying this is the best most or thing I don't know that doesn't really make sense but that could be the other the one angle the other angle is that he is he has access to a totally unique copy that nobody has which makes no sense because all the copies are based on the I mean this copy I've got here of Salvati is based on the sort Anya they've all based on the Sultana there's nothing the rule based on Darrow's you have their bulla and after daughter

2:25:19

Bullock you had the Taba Amelia you had their a thicker than published this is how the soul so Tonia became widespread so yes they may have some discrepancies but they're all based on the Sultana right so the other thing that he could possibly mean by this is that this is just like a marketing angle like as in if I had let's say I was selling paracetamol and all paracetamol the maximum strength you can find is 500 milligram that's all paracetamol lets us say each one tablet can only have 500

2:25:58

milligram so whether that's panadol or whatever all these kind of different companies so I launch my brand let's say mom paracetamol and I tell you that this tablet is the most strongest quantity of paracetamol that you can find on the market now that is kind of true because every other there's nothing that's over 500 so mine is 500 milligram as well but so is panadol and so is all these other let's say I don't know a nadine and all these other kind of paracetamol are also

2:26:36

500 but none are actually stronger so in a sense I'm kind of telling the truth in saying that this is the strongest but I'm kind of it's a bit misleading because I'm just giving the impression that others are weaker but I'm gonna say well I never said they weaker I just said this is the strongest quantity so a cha-cha cha-cha ohyeah game generally yes because how is that the strongest obviously every single cop every single paracetamol you buy is going to be the

2:27:15

same quantity I mean some may be weaker but this is commonly found so that's my point with siyul body every single copy is based on the sultani app pretty much by and large I mean for the most part of sahil body being found today so he your most authentic character right so yeah yeah he must like him a slide so this is what I'm kind of struggling with so I I did try to find and this is what it

2:27:54

seems to be I mean if I'm wrong then please do enlighten me hum be they came I want to see that most authentic copy as well would that said Waldron it's been a lifetime I'm searching for my long-lost love the book of robbery right so for every G ma marry dad right so I it's been such a lifetime right butit's a apneaapp corner ahem that's the so if if he does so if anybody does have any other insights

2:28:34

please share them with me but as far as I can see it doesn't make any sense saying the only thing I can see that is either he's wrong as in which either he means by editing and the quality of the paper which doesn't add up or he somehow got hold of something ever so unique which is impossible right because they are all the sultani a-- or it's simply a marketing kind of maybe he didn't mean to say it like that and then the students around him mislead and they miss created the posters and lack first

2:29:13

love then it could be it could be and people might say people are saying people are saying I've killed the whole thing they are it on the ARCA yeah the ARCA yeah hitori this is my love you know the problem was the claim is to do with bihari and obviously I've got a

2:29:52

discussion on it I'm involved in bihari yeah involved some chapter oh it's a complicated love affair I've got going on with Sahil Bihari a relationship status it's complicated so obviously of is funding if somebody else gets involved I have to then also I have some jacker janym some Joker you know this is this one this one not personal you know this one private so yes so that's not a

2:30:32

that's not a dig at chef yaku be hope he didn't know that this was going on hopefully he didn't know this was just some of his students that wrongly kind of advertised it it should always it should always be plausible deniability so my solicitor told me but I didn't mean to speak bad I don't I know the the lot of Marines really respect yeah Kobe and I respect him I respect him but it's just that you know on this show

2:31:08

there's no loyalty nobody say if on this show you know if only Thalia no no no no no no not nice you know people are gonna wrap it up with that it's been awesome right take very good care of yourselves any issues any messages reach out to me man and maybe having watched this space and maybe having a discussion with her result on this coming weekend so it may not happen if it does do watch Facebook and things like that take very good care of yourselves it's gone really late so sugar and for hanging in there listening

2:31:48

to this nonsense that I go on about baccara who you know make a couch couch couch now someday hidari you know all this nonsense that I attained in my state of insanity may God not let anybody fathom any of it Allah Allah have a very good night assalamu alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh you
