Salafi Movement | Meetup With Abu Safoura Part 2 | Mufti Abu Layth

I feel that the persuasion it is an accumulation of several little nuances I don't like it I'm not I'm personally not a fan of that that one movement I'm not saying it's a bad thing it has been marvelous if you if you if if you take the salafi dawa movement I know people criticize it all the time but if you look at it on a uh public relations starts right if you look at it in a matter of uh as a study case study for psych um sociology social engineering it has been revolutionary its Global move

it is global it empowers people and uh see many people do not get this with a salafi movement they see these people as bunch of very rigid individuals but what they don't understand is today assume I'm not saying rightly so because not but they do assume that they have the authority on behalf of Allah what can be more empowering than that

of course it could be but look that is what gets talked about but I want to go into the psychology of it why people get into it what is attractive about it I mean I'm not the mainstream they're all the main strand the most successful a very successful multi very successful I would feel that I would feel that in the last um definitely in this last decade like let's say 2010 onwards like definitely

let's say the last five to seven years at least uh I would feel that there's there's been a huge um regress uh in the movement I don't think it's as popular at all yeah but I think prior to that they will they blew up in the late 90s in the 2000s they were just huge and but I think they turned into a lot of infighting and it turned into like anything I guess it does there was fragmented group you can fight I mean look even like but while I will disagree with every single group

out there because I'm on my own manhatt that's a discussion but but you know it's like it's amazing they bring you see what they you see what we can't this is the thing that I was trying to say um you know previously as well that look we every We Are One ultimately one huge family you know this there's different people and every you know like they say there's horses for courses like they're we people will have different needs

and they bring a certain they bring something for a certain need which is clearly you know they they bring a certain amount of certainty which people always yes this was the discussion we had last time if you remember this was the discussion we had last time that they bring us Simplicity which they do groups you quickly because they have their slogan you know Quran was Sunnah is beautiful I mean it's so mesmerizing this is why it's spread like wildfire because people are like oh yeah forget this I want Quran I mean you can't argue against it

you know it's like it's so this is just like wow okay it's it's like this you will call Emma Malik foreign let me say this you know we were a bunch of us were speaking um a few friends and we're having this conversation about a week and a half ago about something and we're talking about certain groups and some people ended up meant you know they were mentioning certain shulch and they've got followings and certains you have got followings and what do you think of this

year and you know and they were mentioning certain for example Sufi is and I said that look you have to understand something that with all in this is the same thing with the cellophys there will be people now there will be people who will you know they they are they have a thirst for for the faith for the Quran for the Sunnah for Allah for you know for faith and I will never be able to provide for for those people that I won't be able to quench that thirst neither with uh with other people but let's say salafi is me for what

somebody is seeking and it may make that person into a better person there may be other people who for example they they can't do anything for maybe that those people need something very spiritual and they need something very so only such and such will be able to kind of fill that void for them maybe there's certain people who need something rational maybe there's certain people who need something more you know compassionate but there are people at different stages of their journey and and it definitely they are doing something the only problem is when people turn so much like we instead of

you know worrying which we should be preoccupying ourselves with you know with providing this let's say this Water of Life okay to people who are coming to us because there's things that a salafi can provide somebody who needs telephism that I or other people could never provide so instead of giving this Water of Life let's say the problem is when we start poisoning other people like we start worrying more about Venom because we've all look everybody has a gift in their own way and they we can all our

we are all in our own way Irreplaceable I'm sure we disagree with one another but you know that that's the variety is the spice of life we just don't need to turn on each other as much you know it's okay you know somebody's different there's a beauty in that you know that this person does this this person does this this person goes on top League you know that's a good thing this person does this you know they're not robbing anyone they're not harming anyone so as so this and the true Islam is about love so the only problem is really where people turn and they start becoming very venomous you know this

person is going to hell you know beware of him this person on your head that's like a different life funny as hell yeah some uh Nostalgia Nostalgia uh we'll see like before there's no questions nothing just concluding the Box because it was also talking to you

uh if possible I invite you to my country come visit Dhaka Bangladesh sometimes I think it will be amazing I've been really surprised by the amount of love I've had from Bangladesh from Dhaka especially like people message on Instagram I I see YouTube comments it's amazing man you know what may Allah bless all the people Allah bless Bangladesh I mean

right people Abu safura who we had on the show a while probably like over a year ago and he'd just come back I'd just seen Raheem senwan different stages of realization absolutely absolutely brother absolutely that this is you know people are at different uh stages of their lives and you know it's okay to be different it's okay to not agree you know it's okay that somebody does something else and they they think let's say

my thing or somebody's thing is useless it's okay just hold back the poison you know just not as much poison this here focus on your own do good do good you know people I'm telling you this this amazing people you'll find in all circles and they're catering for people who you could who you can't cater for and your catering for people who believe me they won't be able to cater for and you know everybody's playing a role we just need a bit more Harmony you know in fact that Hadith was said about with Muslims and Jews and Christians the

prophet said foreign so what do you think about Muslims just amongst ourselves yeah a bit of love
