# Reaction to Daniel Haqiqatjou's post about Mufti Menk writing 'Almighty' instead of 'Allah' - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/iqvd5_ag6de/s/1/ - Date: 2020-01-17 · Kind: other · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Reply to Daniel Haqiqatjou on Mufti Menk | Mufti Abu Layth (0:00–5:05) - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQVd5_ag6DE&t=0s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/iqvd5_ag6de/ **Topics:** Views on contemporary scholars; Social media **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth mocks Daniel Haqiqatjou's complaint that Mufti Menk tweets 'Almighty' rather than 'Allah' as petty, says Haqiqatjou is not trained in the Sharia, and says he is driven by hostility to the left rather than scholarship. ## Longer summary In a segment of his live stream Mufti Abu Layth shows a post by Daniel Haqiqatjou [?], whom he nicknames 'Danny Boy' after a Bollywood reference, complaining that Mufti Menk deliberately avoids the name Allah in his tweets, using 'Almighty' instead, and that the last time he tweeted the name Allah was in 2017, and asking whether any other religion's celebrity preachers substitute a generic translation for the name of their God. Mufti reads the post out mockingly and asks viewers to see how petty and silly some so-called Muslim leaders have become. He brings up another account's humorous posts on the same subject. He says he finds it sad that Haqiqatjou combed through Mufti Menk's entire output back to 2017, and describes him as a troubled soul preoccupied with this. He says people like this are not trained in the Sharia, that although he himself would disagree with Mufti Menk on many opinions, Menk at least does not do this kind of thing, and that in his view Haqiqatjou gets obsessed with right-wing factions, at times promotes what he calls white supremacy and right-wing speech and statements by Trump because he hates the left and LGBTQ communities, and so goes out of his way to be on the opposite end. He then recalls a clip of Haqiqatjou on women praying in wardrobes. ## Sources and names cited - Daniel Haqiqatjou [?] - Mufti Menk - Anil Kapoor - Donald Trump ## Transcript (machine tier, 0:00–5:05) [0:00] this is it let me just show this so for the masala segment Daniel Daniel hockey kazoo robber he's made a post about multi mink so Daniel says or in the words of those of you that are familiar with Anil Kapoor where he says Danny Boy when he went to receive his Oscar daddy why Danny Boy has said it annoys me how [0:37] must he mink deliberately avoids mentioning Allah instead using almighty in all his tweets the last time he tweeted the name Allah was once in 2017 is there another religion whose celebrity preachers substitute the name of their God for a generic translation is there I ask you and look who's asking not Daniel as in the Arabic Daniel Rafa [1:13] Daniel Danny Boy is asking hua hai must one substitute the name Allah for the name Almighty rather people so this the own memento so we can see this this is the priority of Danny Boy can you see [1:48] how petty and silly some Muslim so-called leaders have become people like Daniel happy good Jew so here was a tweet by this was actually by calendar let me see if I can one moment on momento if I bring this this account is a hilarious account actually let me bring this down people quickly look at my skills of ah there you go [2:30] some hilarious posts so he's saying here you've got all of these but multi mixing almighty in mallanna then yeah Daniel Danny Boy as there is honestly I find it hilarious seriously this this is what is going on people this is what is going on see if people like Daniel have figures you saying why was mr.
