tissue again it's like can you imagine if these people ever got to rule the world or if they forget the world sorry if they got to run a country can you just imagine shall we boys green forego our traffic lights oh poor don't see in the Quran so I don't know are we making any and I
me and my making things up against which Allah hasn't said these people you know what it is you know what it is brother it's nothing personal but it's just that you're slowing us down we gotta cut you guys loose we gotta cut this whole bloody this like whole trailer it's not even a trailer it's like a whole cargo
ship load full of the gate the sunshine group that we the Muslim Ummah is carrying you guys are slowing us down it's not just that we need to get ahead and you guys are like good oh but this world are to see this one in the Quran I wonder what a compass a dialogue is like with these people on on a daily basis you know I just there's
gotta be some benefits to being like that though there's gotta be like I'm sure we can no I'm just being too harsh I mean after all God made you that way so we should we should just accept the divine decree it is what resumes it was willed whose will this way rather it was with God decided not to give you a certain level of IQ there must be some divine wisdom in that I mean think about
it what why pushy why test God's wisdom [Music] sorry brother just responded all methodologies sorry gotta get into character yeah all methodologies of the cella funny we have the methodology of the one you claim to follow Imam Malik oh we follow him oh ah cheers mate
you know what it is I would explain it to you but I just don't have the crayons around - I don't have the coloring book around or anything to kind of explain it that's all but but I would say look know top marks for attendance I would love to have a dialog by the way with somebody like this you know like I mean somebody from the Salaf assaleh of course that's
what it I think it'd be awesome none of us would understand each other it'd just be like hmm it's okay Dean okay let's let's look I'll try to answer your question by the way just comment on the verse any of what a losses okay okay brother a comment any just imagine these guys are actually right and they actually had figured this stuff out and on the day of
judgment we're all doomed imagine that it turns out that they were actually they'd actually figured it out that would be one sick joke so just be like hmm all right cool let's let's get to this verse let's get to this verse oh my foot you know this one alright so the brothers
probably saying the divine punishment right so there's a verse in the Quran actually referring to the Israelites not even referring to Muslims but referring to previous nations and it goes on to state one man lam yahkum bima anzala there's a few variants of it it says for like I'm a volley moon they are oppressors but like a bull calf a horn they are disbelievers so from here some people they took this to mean that literally any single
opinion that is not found in the Quran this is oh sorry sorry he's corrected me there's a third one as well I never said there wasn't a third I said there's a few I did say that but he said there's also wanted were like a Mufasa moon first Ahmad as well let me why you not read that one cuz he any brought back right so I'm sorry yeah sorry no siento lo siento mucho all right so so now there's these three verses but the most powerful one they
are disbelievers right so they feel that does somebody by not ruling according to like if they take an interpretation of the Quran and they don't go with the apparent or if they I don't I don't even know what this would actually mean because a real manifestation of this would just it just it just I don't know how that would even be so these people back in the time of say is an idea of the alone and in the time of ali radiya llahu on they called him a Kaffir because they said well you decided to have an arbitration with maja we are of the
alone and then you two shouldn't have arbitrated you should have decided a four-team till the death or you should have like basically to arbitrate means that you or to accept arbitration means you're prepared to settle and compromise with against the truth this is what they view so they said to said not a lease so that look this you know this is coupon and they use the verse of the quran in el hokum of allah lila that judgment is just for god and you decided to give judgment you you decided to give judgment so they call said Nadia kafir they called my house yet cafe they call
just about everybody at kaffir there was them been owned a bunch of them who kind of went off and they this became the group known as the huar age okay right now the verse look many people have said that this did not mean kaffir in that sense so this certain transmissions going back to even our bus saying that you know it's this thing of coup for Doudna coup for that it's not coup from Laserbeak off rainy and cooler anil milah it's not a coup for that is an
apostasy co4 it's the term Kufa because you have to remember that the quran you see when we read the Quran today we've read it in a in a very kind of institutionalized manner so we've got fixed terminologies kaffir every time we see the word kaffir we understand by this institutionalized version of caffeine a disbeliever an infidel something like this but that's not how when the Quran was being revealed remember those people already had the word kaffir what did they mean by kaffir
so like when we read in in the Quran the word Olam are today we understand by the clergy in the Maya Shalom in high body Allah MA indeed it is the olam at the clergy who fear God this is how people translated today but when the Orang was being revealed there was no clergy there were no Rolla ma so to speak so you see we have a very like a kind of a reverse projection onto the Quran so we've read the Quran with our current day institutionalized baggage which we ret
reject on to the Quran and then we read it and the truth is you can't really like you can't do that but it's not what they would have understood the Quran to be in that day and age so when they've read all these people are you know what a Kaffir or somebody you know this is Kufa that it is rejection that if you take the Word of God and then don't whole heartedly kind of embrace it that is rejection does it mean it's an absolute categorical rejection of the
Creed in the faith maybe not but it could be depend so these verses were only reused by the Hajj and modern-day Huaraz illegitimate the illegitimate offspring of the Huaraz today the people like Isis and these kind of groups that want to kind of they want Dominion and rule and stuff like this [Music] so son of solid you said yes this guy has ill JA yes yes this one this one
this one first save to this one well whatever that is make your jaw yep I'll tell you our take two of them [Laughter] [Music]
