um right so check out the channel fareed response that's our beloved i take it gangutili gangutili responds and response he destroyed apostate prophet yeah i mean i haven't watched anything of gangutili to be honest with you but

but yeah uh on apostate prophet i know he's made some video response he's saying uh a reply to um this one big problem you know this one you get bored you know so to be i've only seen a bit of it maybe i'll sit down and watch the rest uh from what i saw he was like saying i only watched a few minutes he was saying oh musti didn't even understand this was not even a debate

of course i wasn't prepared because this wasn't a debate i was like [Laughter] speaking of that people i did get us a uh let me see where we are where we at is this uh is it this oh no this ain't it but you can see watch this to cheer up this is the kind of reply it is though

oh yes [Music] those of you that don't know this is uh hadim hussain and here he has his epic epic solution on how to read pakistan of global debt so what is this solution you might think he's like i can deal with it like this he's saying you guys are stressed stressed huh stress what this one

so here is his solution [Music] foreign

[Music] [Laughter] so he's saying that the way the solution to read pakistan of debt is that we're going to say to the people the world banks imf whoever is we're going to say well the interest we can't return because it's haram so that's just tough and the the [ __ ] the original money that we've borrowed we will return that we will but once we have it hmm what else

and he goes we make it clear that there the interest we're not going to give because it's haram's a full stop so don't bother asking and the original fund that we borrowed we will give you once we have it up until then don't bother us and if you kind of like give us some like what are you on about then we're going to say is the pakistan nuclear warhead [Laughter] it's named after the fighter so

so that's uh some amazing insight on global economics in uh in a day and age of the global repression [Laughter] right so right so people what is going on sorry did i say repression recession it is getting it is getting late as you can see so what are some questions somebody said john ilia was sick in love yep he was he was john ilia was a legend people somebody said when oh mufti my super chat

your super chat said let me get to it kappa khan said when we getting two hours mufti masala going down mufti masala you gotta wait for it see you gotta give people everything in its right place trying to get a full two-hour masala roast uh inaudib drama intensifies yeah you do these later i gotta do this earlier but hey you know i do it on time it's just time speeds up ahead of me you know in the

words of joe nilia [Laughter] that's just the story people of my life shamrose muftisab how are you shukran sugar and shamrocks tiberius good question from khalid bhalib says is there a difference between nafs or can they be used interchangeably in the quran room is kangoo and nups's mufti pak

channel said he loved somebody said they love the cup yep look at that it's a prescription cut people all right and also my facebook [Laughter]

and i thought i need to be more sober hi hi hi so what is going on right let's go to ralph's question is the and the nerfs the same thing in the quranic discourse hmm you see it's difficult i i think it's

i i do believe it's the same thing but i believe it's different dimensions of the same thing it depends what you're addressing so [Music] it's it's more about that the roar is at the layer of um consciousness in my understanding and it's connected to the other arewa there's like a social network of consciousness which then ultimately must be from the uh bestowed into creation so maybe there's some kind of like a

consciousness stream now the nerfs is the individualized um perception of that rule so it's more in an interplay of that consciousness but with your bodily reactions to and your genes and and there's a kind of interplay of so so for example you see um i mean this is a poor example but still it's an approximation it's like saying that if

the signal is what is coming from so i don't know from let's say it's a t it's a it's a phone signal and it's coming from the main company but then it's being received on the handset now the handset has a certain amount of interplay with that signal um in how good it is in what it allows this handset to do uh it also is you know it is it is it may be different varying from handset to handset so in a that's a poorer approximation but to give you some idea in a similar way now i am a

person who or no surprise there but who will have not just my conscious experiences but they are then seen through and an interaction with my biological essence so the way i am the way my brain is the way my physiology genetic makeup will shape partially or it will have a kind of bio a bi-directionality a feedback with the with the raw so

nerves that's in my understanding what enough says it is the self which is to do with consciousness but it is the very individualized experience of that person via consciousness is then the self now there are many other theories on what the self is in psychology the bundle theory and other things but anyway the in the quran the quranic discourse does address them slightly different it doesn't address the rule per se um it addresses the nerfs on occasions but

it describes the rule as coming from god you know that we nafakna that we breathed into adam from our into him and it gives the idea that the is somehow connected with your awareness of life and then it kind of highlights that you don't actually know too much about the roi

you've only been given a you know you don't fully understand how this works and that's why i feel it ties in so well with consciousness that you know despite all our technological advancement we still remain non the wiser when it comes to consciousness so that's my the quran when it addresses the nerfs it does it doesn't it shows that it has different sides to it uh you know um the the please the pleasing self the self that is is good or virtuous the

you know enough the the kind of lamenting um remorseful self so it shows that there are um this kind of um it's multifaceted in that sense that there's various angles to this self but it doesn't make things very clear it's not like if you read the quran it's going to say that okay this nafs deals with this this is like this this is like this is just people's reading of the quran so i'm reading it this is my reading of it somebody else may read it and say oh

there's different types of infos you know different types of uh new foos you know nerfs and one is the nafsa lawama one is the nafsal one is the nafs one is the and somebody may say no no these are just different descriptions as you would describe a person that this person oh he's right now tired oh he's full of energy he's full of these are not necessarily distinct people these are the same person but they're in separate you know separate moments so yeah i hope that

shed some clarity all right what is girl wind what is his upload speed uh listen to muftisab guys stop being third huh thirsty yeah yeah people behave behave behave speedy guys enough of this uh flirting online

people come on and just because some admin are female [Laughter] control control this one you know it's not nice my friend right otherwise i have to curtail so people this one is nice my friend right so

mufti uh fix them can the moderators please remain focused right remain focused shukran shukran right so what do you think of the whole armin navabhi twitter insult of the hindu god kaliman the response by hindus i'm not actually aware of it so do send it to me and i'll check it out then i'll form an opinion

yeah so right what is going down frody flirt with us right now flirting on the muscular mustache oh because it's kali because she's black that's why oh i didn't even think of that no but kalima is black the she is a black idol a jet black idol so that's why they're calling her kalima then i don't think

they're trying to say she's black um as a racial thing it's more that she is because some of the deities like are blue and all kinds of colors so she is black in color ah behave people behave thoughts on neoplatonism rather

brother people rather so yeah neoplatonism well you see plato the whole platonism is really based on you've got uh mainly plato's ideal of the you know the forms and things like this but this goes through a huge shift which is actually quite different uh later on speaking it's more it's more used to do things like justify

the existence of god and the the arguments of i suppose similar to the kind of ontological arguments the existence of world they must be you know if there is being and there must be because plato has these forms so neoplatonism is not actually plato but it's later philosophers many of which were from you know what would be egypt modern-day egypt um and and other people as well who were influenced by various greek thought that then

used this philosophy to substantiate theology belief in god so yeah but man you said in a hadith in ecstasy a person says to god that be is his masters be his he is his master is this not shirk and should we not be against any fun which leads to ecstatic state you see this is why i um this is why that hadith is an amazing hadith because it goes to show that you know we

do we really need to be so rigid and so strict and because the hadith demonstrates that the prophet is saying that a person li shidda til farah out of an ecstatic a state of ecstasy overcoming him he says you know thank you god you are my slave and i am your lord [Laughter] ah your ecstasy so yeah um and to me that is uh is is amazing you know it's not something which

um it goes to show that really what matters is people's intentions and what they really meant to say not sub you know something where you just utter something and this whole thing like talaq for example is is such a thing you know it's based i mean there's a huge opportunity that the scholars just ignored here because so much of the ummah is unfortunately suffering afflicted from this talaq tragedy that they're giving palaks and

oh my god i'm regretting it and oh my god and um really talaq ought to only be a formal process and unless it's done formally it is invalid um so unless a person undertakes a formal talaq procedure talk proceeding like how they undertake a nikah proceeding like when they are not perceived by nikah so they undertake a proper ceremony contact a masjid they um you know make a booking register anika have a

a ceremonious event albeit a small one it could be a small event but it's an event similarly there is an exit kind of event where they you know either wherever they are in the world if courts muslim courts or sharia councils or maybe some places masjids they contact them make a booking for the talk documentation undertake a process and then eight alarks should be valid these you know just utterances and people in a state of regret and then crying and i don't mean this and i didn't mean that

and i said it out of anger and it just you know it just ruins people's state of you know just ruins their peace of mind it ruins lives uh to or at least devastates many people so yeah but this comes back i feel we could tie this in with this hadith that the person is saying to allah you are my you are my slave

but that's not blasphemy it's actually ironically a form of gratitude he was trying to express gratitude his words came out differently but allah knows the reality of events causing confusion in the chat guys okay mods please keep it a bit keep it a bit focused and positive but if people are being just

if they're just being absolute [ __ ] then just block them but otherwise it's it's good you can just tell people off how can i respectfully ask for a girl's wally [Laughter] forget the girl just go for the wally he's like uh you know until i was impressed with the girl but once i met her wali launches bro

he's like the wolly just launches bro so now him and the wally are getting married yeah i mean i don't get these things to be honest with you i feel that they're kind of all they're overdone i feel things should just be natural based on your culture on the culture that you have whatever your social

you know whatever that is the custom people just have to do what they do isn't it if they like someone they can try and engage and see and if they feel it's good then and they want to take it forward then by all means but i don't have um i don't have an issue with people i think it's perfectly normal for people to meet i think that's people have always met you know they're saying kabul in afghanistan of course

girls and guys can meet but i i say there's nothing wrong in getting a coffee going if people want to get a meal and just getting to know each other if that's what they want to do cool right so harambe says oh his message just mufti sir i greet you harambeen i thought harambe well i greet you too so someone asked regarding islamic nations ignoring weak uyga holocausts

such as pakistan and iran uh for the question um i didn't see the that super chat so yeah i mean what is the real sicho on the uyghurs um why is pakistan silent on it why is iran's island on it why are other countries i don't you see i think sometimes it is difficult for people as well although i definitely agree that there is a human rights violation

crisis taking place with the uyghurs and people worldwide regardless of race faith religion creed color they need to they they should all be in solidarity that wherever there are human rights violations they should be condemned so i agree with that but the question on how much of the uyghur thing is is kind of really an anti-islamic thing or is it a political matter

to be honest even to me it's not actually that clear i don't know like i see these clips people say oh china is doing this china is doing this but then you see other things which don't then add up that you know this thing of like china has this systematic hatred for islam i don't i don't personally buy that um i find that difficult to believe because you know this

there's many uh chinese people that are native and ethnically which represent the the main uh chinese clans that live in places like beijing or they live in shanghai and these kind of places and they are part and parcel of everyday chinese life and they never seem to have any discrimination their masjids never seem to be shut down they never seem to be um so i don't know i mean you know on one hand you get this oh they're force-feeding people pork it's the spanish inquisition resurrected it's

um i don't know honestly i i genuinely i would love to gain more clarity on the mata but i i mean i i definitely agree that there is a human rights violation i agree on on that much and that should be condemned the difference is is the violation because of certain um political aspirations of that region to as a separatist movement so regardless of religion so if the uyghurs happen to be sick they would still be suffering because of the kind of the separatist

movements that have happened the the politics of the last decade the things that have been taking place so china would still have clamped down on them in in the you know despotic way that it has or is it that they're only doing it because they don't care about anything it's only to do with islam they just can't stand islam and that is a tough sell to me i i don't buy that they can't stand islam i don't think it's i don't think islam is even part of the equation i think it's because of the political issues that doesn't justify that doesn't justify

um tyranny but what i'm trying to say is the the thing that's being pushed is not necessarily the human rights that is being pushed secondarily but primarily what a lot of people are pushing is this anti-islamic kind of creed that china is allegedly you know uh believing in or and promoting and and that i just don't know i don't know that's my uh yeah so hui muslims was a perfect example so the main

so if you look in china uh in changhua all right so the so you get the chong one people the chinese people and they or the honu and they will usually be main representative clans that are native to china china and they span into a i believe is it seven or something major clans which most of the ethnicities within china fall into and the hui people are one of the major clans and they have many muslims amongst them many and and they live are part of mainstream so they're not in these kind of like

regions like the the weak like these kind of turkmenistan kind of these regions of china now that are uh very that don't um like when you think of china you don't really think of them that they're just entirely muslim regions because of what they neighbor so when you look at main cha land china and what comes the image the stereotypical image that comes to you of people like the hui people they're not persecuted at all um so this is what makes me very skeptical of all this anti-islamic

propaganda right so uh yep on the periphery shukran shukran zuryab have you studied chinese history and theology um no i'm familiar with certain parts of it i was studying chinese for a little while and then i had to put it on pause because i had to focus on spanish so but at the time i studied that for a good little while and part of that i used to learn about chinese culture chinese people my teachers were obviously chinese i used to have weekly classes and we would often talk

about pop the talk about politics talk about history talk about stuff to me so so that was my kind of learning really on china uh harambeen saying i'm skeptical of your analysis even i'm skeptical of my analyses [Laughter] all right so what is going on people let's take a look at some of the things um let's take a

what did i say i was going to speak about well let's go to alright look at that right there people none other than the man behind the epic voice sorry the epic recitation abdulrahman

okay so normalizing relations with israel so what is going on people what is going on oof so those of you that are familiar i'm sure pretty much everyone is that recently uae announced its kind of normalization uh of uh relations diplomatic uh relations with israel um you know to bolster certain business and trade opportunities and other kind of things for tourism now alongside that there was

the the headlines of trump uh placing a certain amount of pressure on mbs and the saudi regime to also move towards normalizing relations and establishing a kind of friendly frightenizing sleeping with the enemy trump

[Laughter] what's the saudi regime doing outside we've got netanyahu in here we've got the ali we've got trump is in the yeah mbs so they've uh so they've asked a saudi kingdom to get on board as well now he part of that was uh just a few days ago saudi arabia had announced that the israeli airlines can

use saudi airspace to travel to the uae so netanyahu also uh you know made a speech about how great this was and it's going to save an incredible amount in fuel and time it's going to bolster trade and and tourism and you know it's kind of it's it's kind of it's it's amazing he was saying so saudi had allowed that that's only been uh just that's within this week or so and following that

i have to say by the way from all the quran all the reciters of the quran i till date absolutely love sheikh abdul rahman sudhis honestly he is my go-to still sheikh abdulrahman i'm very old school you know i know there's a lot of people like i mean chattery is awesome as well but these two to me are they are old school but they still hold the heavyweight belt as far as i'm concerned so sheikh abdul rahman is gave

a speech in it he in his friday sermon he announced that look we are taught in islam to normalize sorry to have friendly relations with the jew with the jews the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam treated them well he mentioned that the prophet uh the example which i often give for other scenarios that even when the prophet passes away his one of his final trade transactions was with a jewish trader of medina he mentioned that the prophet uh gay had a treaty with us you know

some jews of haber stating that they can keep all their land and the produce provided there's a certain amount that they they gave as a tribute now um so he was trying to say that look this brings people towards islam it demonstrates the the the lofty character that muslims have and just good manners and civility so this know twitter just absolutely blew up with this so you had so many people they were on there saying what the hell is sheikh

abdul rahman is today's look at that people there it is right so people were saying what on earth is today saying this is he is prepping people it is what they call it that they were he's just prepping and preparing the masses to accept israel that's what he's doing he's kind of giving these speeches some people took to defending him saying well look you know what has he actually said he just said that we should have good manners is there nothing wrong with you know does not islam teach us to have good manners even

with the enemy so this is the the whole kind of drama that has been blowing up recently hmm so what are my thoughts [Laughter] you know we have to uh i have to contribute as well my two pence you know my two pence is

you've never paid attention how these people became desolate and were destroyed even though the likes of mead whose heart had been conquered was lying right there before you as [Laughter] so what is what are my thoughts on this well look uh hmm

i don't really know what to say it's i feel that in all honesty right first of all i have to be clear that israel's behavior is as always utterly unacceptable it is just an absolute thug that's what israel is you know for the most part now that said i feel that and i've said this before i spoke about the whole when i spoke on the uae situation i said that i feel that muslims need to

awaken from their slumber they need to understand that unfortunately and you know with a heavy heart but this is now like this battle is is lost people have to know when to cut their losses you see you see you can't the problem is we're in this um kind of um dream state that we don't know what some somehow miraculously everything is going to change

it isn't right now sometimes you have to just cut your losses you know take an example from the seerah of the prophet the said muslims realize that this is this is a lost situation like we are not in right now that this it is futile and it is not only futile it is negatively impacting us to resist so the prophet sallam

he he said all right fine i'll i'll have this peace treaty. and he he agreed and he agreed to certain terms that were really painful they were painful to the prophet and you know you have the famous hadith of omar that he said that you know if i've ever seen a day of powerlessness it was

it was the day of the when abu sun comes running and he he's a muslim and he's being tortured and he comes running up to the prophet now that he hears that the muslims are here and and they've just signed this they're just coming to terms on this agreement that saying well okay we will go back you know we won't do this we won't attack we won't do this we won't um you know mentioning all these kind of things which really were against the muslims

the odds were stacked against the muslims against the prophet and he's accepting it's saying things like if a muslim comes to you you have to return him if you know if a kafir if a muslim rejects islam and comes to us we do do not have to return him you know very kind of handicapped terms and whilst this is happening abu jundal comes running hoping not seeing all these muslims and he's saying that look finally you guys are here you're gonna help me right this is

this is it and the prophet said says that we can't and they drag him back and this is where omar says that they drag him by these kind of chains and he says if there was ever a day where i was so you know exploding because of one the rage but the rage being met with the helplessness he said it was the day of abuja

but you see and one could argue that you know this was a life and even though whether it's whether the person's not going to be killed but he's being tortured for just being a muslim and why could the muslims not just declare war there and then did they not have armor did they not believe in the in the help of god did they not was this of course this was the prophet these were the same people that stood up against outnumber an outnumbering army yet at the s realized that he said that we can't

because this battle from where we stand is is a lost scenario like it is only our victory is just a treaty which is apparently a loss but in that loss in fatah that we have granted you an incredible victory but you just don't see it not yet see and the problem is we're too

in our emotions and i've said that i feel i know people don't i think some people don't like it that i said that that i said really i think that the main focus is the loss of life and the palestinians should be given an opportunity to be comfortably relocated elsewhere in throughout the arab world with compensation uh gratuitous handsome compensation so you know when i said that i had a

i had a message from someone so i think was it on facebook or instagram but anyway somebody this lady messaged me from europe i believe she's palestinian so she said you know mufti i watch your things and i'm you know i admire and i'm a fan and whatever but i she was deeply troubled by this thing that i said and she said

right that she says that you know you said that palestine should the palestinians you know for the sake of life uh they should just be allowed to be relocated comfortably elsewhere at the expense of israel of course so and she said i find that totally like she was disgusted at this thought found it offensive felt that this is um

right right so said that look this is how can you know these people long for their land it is everything for them their culture palestine is their identity and you know why should they renounce that and this is utterly unacceptable is you know it's a kind of treacherous opinion that i've given so i responded to her and she was quite shocked that i responded

people get surprised you know when i when i reply to their messages they go yeah i wasn't expecting a reply [Laughter] so i responded i said to her that look i'm really grateful for her first of all her kind words and and i'm sorry i had that you know i offended her or any palestinian with this thought but you see i kind of stand by this idea why because to me what is land you see

that god's green earth is vast allah says in the quran and these nation states these are just social constructs that we've created you know you go back a century they didn't exist there was no nation state they were there was land and people did associate with maybe certain parts but people were much more fluid you know they nobody's saying that if people the palestinians move that they will lose their i don't know culture or food

or music or jeans or uh you know they nobody loses these things they will stay right there yes you will have lost that land but in all honesty what is it right now anyway you know it's hardly a paradise is it so let's just now you could say well i want you know i feel that we will fight till the death

tikka you know but i'm giving a perspective a cool-headed perspective that these things are not worth dying over you see to me it's just a piece of land you know you you know tomorrow you know 500 years ago people that lived on that land had no idea about you and 500 years from today people that will live on that land will have no idea of you either it doesn't matter

about land and territory and you know this to me is but hey it's people's choices and this it's not like they're going to listen to me anyway but i'm just giving my my uh my unwanted consultation so yeah it's because it is an outdoor prison and somebody said mufti do you think if they've relocated the palestinians israel would just stop there it may not stop thee and this by the way is the reason the other arab countries are not proprietary palestinians they want them to be the buffer zone

but the difference is the other states have a they are a sovereign state they have a military they have borders reinforced they have a defense system palestinians don't have jack they don't have anything so they're just getting bombed ruthlessly whereas israel you know you can't just bomb jordan jordan is a sovereign state that has an army i'll be a and an incapable one but the point is it still has an army so it's not the same thing israel can't just invade the whole you know he can't just go around

invading nation states but palestine it's not even it's already done that with palestine palestine is under israeli control so so there is a huge difference there yeah but that's my thoughts and it's not to say that this is um that i'm kind of endorsing israel i'm not i believe that they are absolute tyrants terrorist state but i feel that we just need to learn where to cut our losses so cool that's my thoughts on it

um i don't know what the future will unfold i wonder 100 years from today when people look back what they will think right so mufti is done meet haram right so right now somebody said yes mufti alright neanderthals invaded brum yeah they have actually have you seen alum rock [Music]

neanderthals are already here right what should we stun me what should we say people shall we vote it in or out in or what i should have is like a poll where we'd democratically decide oh wait a minute isn't that what the clergy already do it's a democracy of truth right so do i feel stunned meat is halal yeah i feel it is um you see to me i've got a video on stun meat where i said that in recent times i have reevaluated my positions

my positioning and my positioning on on halal meat and the bee hamid and i've come to the understanding that i've come to the understanding that halal me the objective behind it was simply to demarcate to create a distinction between muslims those who not even just muslims but those the faithful and those

who and the pagans those who were engulfed in superstition and kind of heathen pagan rituals and making offerings to them so it was really just to distinguish that this meat has not been offered to odin such and such so now that was the primary focus of the bihamid the secondary focus was the identitarian aspect that it it's like a social glue that will that

binds between muslims wherever they are in the world hence the hadith says meat muslim then that is a person who is a muslim so these were the two objectives the primary being distinguishing from pagan meat meat that is being offered to other gods that was the primary focus and the

secondary focus was the identitarian aspect so i feel that and that's why by the way that in the past hunted animals those that you know wild animals were never you never had to slaughter them because they were never offered as pagan offerings as far as the arabian context was away so people never used to offer tigers and lions and or even deer things like that they weren't offered it was the the kind of more domesticated uh cattle and camels and goats and these kind of things that were offered

chickens weren't the arabs never really had chickens so that's quite strange when you think about it not having chickens whoa so that's actually quite strange so i wonder what hmm did they not used to eat eggs then i guess not they wouldn't have really had eggs unless they were eggs of other kind of birds

so right now yeah so i mean coming back to this so i feel today the secondary point still stands the identity aspect but the first one is mostly non-existent today hardly anyone offers meat to gods apart from muslims and jews and whatever but but you know it's very rare for people to offer meat as a sacrifice to their gods that kind of thing the world is kind of with modernity the world has grown out of that so therefore the first objective has

become redundant so the secondary objective of identity still remains and thereby i would say that yes it is still important to have the bee hamid and and to use that generally and to have that identity and aspect that kind of binding glue social glue amongst muslims globally but that said if it came to it it wouldn't be haram to consume just say regular meat not pork but regular meat in these kind of societies it would not be

haram i mean it may be kind of if you've got access to the the bihamid which is still a pro which is still a kind of um a directive more a recommended directive based on the identity aspect so then it may be macro discouraged to kind of go there whilst you've got this but it wouldn't be haram because the main objective was about sacrificing to other gods which isn't really there so based on that if the meat was stunned would that make a difference

well it wouldn't because once again the um the aspect is the same that these are not being these are not offerings to other gods okay muslims however shouldn't should not stun to kill okay so if they do stun then that is done to uh just kind of like tranquilize the animal but then they should they should slaughter and that is the that is the kind of the heritage and the legacy but stunned meat in and of itself

would not be haram it may be discouraged it would probably be macro better not to go to but it wouldn't be haram and sinful that's in my understanding pork is clearly haram but beyond pork i'm talking about general meat all right so i hope that uh um yeah and i do feel that the uh the slaughtering is actually i do feel it's actually very humane i know that's like everybody's like

the end people are like [Music] but i do feel it is kind of uh humane because it's almost instant that the the animal loses consciousness and it's just that the sight of blood is scary you see i feel that the sight of blood scares people so they think that oh my god this is inhumane

but really like if you let's just take a look at the capital punishment of the in the west for example when it did exist and how it still exists uh in america for example the western world moving away from things like the guillotine and chopping the head off to things like let's hang people because they felt that hanging them was somehow more humane but the truth is that it was just less messy for the observer so it feels more humane because they don't see the sight of blood

so it's like if i suffocate someone because i'm not seeing blood i feel it's more humane whereas if let's say you shot them in the head now you're going to see splattered brains and blood everywhere and the shock of it that the viewers are going to have and and and the conductor the executor is going to have so they feel that's inhumane but the truth is really i'd assume that hanging is more inhumane than you know rather like if a person was to be executed you rather just say just chop my head off

because it would be instant i mean i'm just saying i would if i was [Laughter] now they catch me and they're like i'm like yeah i was only joking this one joke i was just saying it for monday nights with mufti but on a serious note i would feel that

if a person i would feel that if i had to be executed i would just rather say just yeah just chop my head off at least it would be instant and it'd just be over rather than bloody hanging someone what the hell that's like oh my god i would actually say actually can you just od me on heroin [Laughter] that would be like a better way to go it'd be like you know [Laughter] and then you survive but now you're just a junkie

then you probably say [Laughter] so people yeah that's my thoughts on on that i don't know if it makes any sense but i feel that this thing of humane is to do with the sight of blood so people think it's more humane but it's not it's just the same i hope that answers whoa all right people brother you're doing it you're doing it much love for the super chat if jesus had a father why were people surprised when mary presented

jesus presented jesus why did they say she had done something unprecedented why did they mention that her father was not evil and her mother was not unchaste mahrab that is a very good question i have answered it before but uh but uh to go over it obviously super chat yeah i have to i'm joking i'm talking it's a it's an epic question you see the quran on this matter i've got a video on this by the way and i do

much more justice in that video if you watch it called if you just type my name and the virgin birth not me giving the virgin birth that would be incredibly strange but uh the virgin birth i i go through the verses of the quran and i explain and everything so what we have to do the thing is that in very early christian literature during the lifetime of jesus nobody is making a claim of a virgin birth it would be preposterous for them to do so because in

all honesty the jews would have just stoned mary you really think they would care if mary had come back with a baby that was uh a miracle and she said this is a miracle baby right and i've had this by north with no father of the child as in to them that's going to be translated as an affair a adultery or it's a you know the father is unknown because they're not going to believe that that's obviously the messiah of god they would have just killed mary

there is no oh they would have sat down and really kid and would have gone through a long therapeutic process with her and spoken of due diligence diligence and due process no no no this is 2 000 years ago mate they would have just killed her there was no you know two ways about that so we know for a fact that this never happened in the gospels nobody ever is claiming in the gospels jesus is never claiming that this was a kind of virgin birth like in that sense

right now this is something that is being explained uh much after the much after jesus this kind of that jesus is the son of god and then what does the son of god mean and some you see this christian theologians that began to struggle with the concept of original sin that they felt that because the sperm of man carries the original sin therefore jesus too

would have the original sin so to bypass that they invent this thing of well you see for mary this immaculate conception theory that she's conceived but without the sin and for jesus there is no male sperm so this is the kind of uh the byproduct but in jesus's lifetime nobody believed that oh that he was a miracle baby but the concept of the virgin birth for was a widespread concept it wasn't something that christians invented the romans have it many people have it

that this you know god zeus or these other the greeks had it that they impregnate women certain virgins who then give birth and this even coinciding with the era of jesus there's other people making these kind of claims so that's the the quranic discourse is somewhat vague on this matter so now it does mention that when mary comes with to jesus or sorry with jesus that they they seem to be upset but it doesn't

explain what they're upset about it mentions them reprimanding mary but it's not clear what they're reprimanding her about now they seem to say that your father was not a man of a lowly character and by character like somebody who did bad things

and your mother was not an unchaste woman now later muslims automatically because of the word unchaste they immediately join the dart with a virgin birth but it is them this is them reading into the text the text isn't actually stating that they are reading into it in my understanding this is more referring to the incident i believe in the gospel of luke where i believe it's the gospel of luke where jesus as a young boy is brought to jerusalem now he does visit jerusalem often most likely every year

or you know most years now on this particular incident when the caravan is setting off back he is missing jesus is missing and mary comes back looking for him and eventually they find him after a number of days and he is sitting in the temple arguing and debating with the priest priesthood this has really annoyed them because the high priests and these generally the clergy these people did not tolerate normal jewish people debating them let alone a child

so they found this incredibly ill mannered they found it as very low and they were probably on the verge of punishing jesus now mary comes and she reclaims him and that he's her son and she's apologizing but and this is what they're saying to her that what is wrong with this child that you know you seem to be somebody that you know your father is is of a stature and a good status and your mother's not an unchaste it's not like she's somebody off the streets can you not

give any terbia to your child can you not give him a decent upbringing how dare he speak to us in the temple in this manner does he not know the etiquettes of the temple so this is what is going on and she does try to say that like tries to get him to explain himself and they rebuke her and rebuke him by saying you know k foreign you want us to talk to a little boy

a little boy who was just you know in his cradle now he's obviously not in his cradle that's why they use the word sabi which is a young boy anything wasabi can be somebody it's not a tiffel tiffel is a a baby that is in a cradle uh or a radia somebody that's absolutely and a difficult can extend to a toddler and a sobby is usually somebody maybe five years of age all the way up until about 10 11 something like that a sobbi a a young boy so they say how could you expect us to speak to a

boy who is just who was who was mankind of madison who was just in a in a cradle it's like when people would say to someone you want me to talk to him who was just yesterday in his nappies this does not mean that the person was yesterday in his nappies but this is a is a figure of speech so that is what this discussion was most likely about any other fitting is really just what um i feel muslims kind of took it that way because some muslims because they you know they

kind of bought into the narrative of the christian narrative by islam's time there was this christian narrative that of the virgin birth in fact it happened within a century or two it was concretized after jesus so by the time islam came it was definitely there so muslims also bought into it maybe not all but some muslims and there are there are some books that people have written against it there is a book by maulana um

who has a book he was from the 20th century who early 20th century pre-partition and then of india and he has a book called unizamzam fee willadatti maryam in which he speaks and explains this he's not the only one mawlana sheikh also mentioning there was no virgin birth there's this people i believe uh sir ahmed as well from india and other people

have kind of challenged it as well but it is and both have their evidences from the quran so i i would ask you to watch my video where i go through the evidences right so what is going on people what is going on yep

somebody said uh imam mark [Laughter] now mark saying i've tried to look with an open mind at much of what you say mufti but this is just pure deception uh it isn't deception um i mean this is the perspective i mean

has a whole text on it uh other people have written on it um several other people i there was shaykh uh i what was his name abu haidl asti has a whole treatise on it uh that they that jesus had a father the quran does allude to that jesus had a father this um now it doesn't say very clearly but it doesn't say either and if you look at both of them it seems to allude more towards him having a father that's in my perspective now let me give an example if you take the verses of the what

people feel of the the virgin birth none of them actually mention it was a virgin birth it just mentions the response of mary saying that she has not been touched yet and that was part of the divine plan it wasn't that what was to be conceived would be a natural just the same way the wife of ibrahim in the quran says how how can i have a child and they say that it has been decreed it didn't mean she just had a baby just like that and it was unnatural that ibrahim al-islam wasn't involved of course he was and if you look at zakaria

now when he says how can my wife have a baby and and he's told through revelation that it has been decreed it doesn't mean she just has a baby obviously there is uh you know there is natural intervention there was intercourse so but the quran does not mention this with all three so you've got the three people you've got abraham his wife zakaria his wife being mentioned and you've got mary being mentioned now for these two even none of them it mentions that the husbands actually had sexual intercourse but that's just understood it's called ellipsis

you know elliptical kind of reading into something where some you know you don't need to mention certain things so people will say oh but we believe with mary it was a virgin birth they say this really because of what the christians have said not necessarily because of what the quran said when you look at the other verses that argue against the virgin birth they are verses where allah mentions several prophets and he mentions you know and he mentions suleiman

and allah mentions isa and then he says and from the fathers we chose as well you see abba him that we selected their fathers as well isa not mentioned in that verse he is now one could say well he's an exception yes he is in the verse so apparently the verse is saying that his father is well aba him that his father because it mentions all the prophets and then it mentions isa as well so now

one could argue that okay but this is an exception and that does happen in arabic sometimes so you will get um you know you will get these uh these exceptions but then the response to that is uh sorry i'm just trying to what i'll do is i'll just bring it up actually let's see

right so if i just go into it to just read it now it mentions look this we are in suratul you've got verse 84 to 85 and then it's going forward as well he mentions we gave them uh you know we gave him his heart isaac and jacob kullan hadena and we guided all of them in kabul and we guided noah mean kabul before women duriati and from his offspring it mentions

unlike that we reward those of us on wazakariya and from their fathers verse 87 and from their fathers and from the brothers and their offspring we guided

now this is a verse of the quran i'm not making this up and so you know now you could say well okay now you could say that um one moment right now you could say that okay that uh but this is an exception for jesus fine i will accept that but apparently you have to be fair the apparent reading is in favor of this you can do a tat wheel

and say that okay we want to exclude jesus even though the apparent reading does say that so if i read out a bunch of names and then i said uh all of these have retired you know all of these uh they were you know they had parents of certain ethnicity and then you say yeah but one of them i didn't mean him okay but the you know when you say that that's what's understood kullen you know all of them then you might say okay no but i want to do tat wheel i accept your top wheel

take what's more important is if i'd like to draw your attention to um verse describing allah who's brought the heavens and the cosmos into existence on this earth then allah says an how is it possible that he can have a child

and he did not have a female companion now you say what's your point so why would allah mention that as an argument unless that was always the case that whenever people were born they had a mom and a dad if here god is saying how can he have a child when he didn't have a female companion you're going to say yeah but just like how jesus did then that shows allah's argument is faulty allah doesn't have an argument here that's just a false positive

you know there's no point if they're allah killing the argument by saying anna yakunu how can god have a child if he did not have a female companion but if you're going to say uh like in that case then that just kills the argument and god doesn't have an argument left so the only way this argument is categorical is if all humans that are born are born from a mother and a father that is the only way god's argument in this verse stands when he says

so with that people the defense rests its case but you know i'm happy i would love to uh right i would love to you know imam mark i would love to have a discussion if you're prepared to have a discussion on mind trap i will will bring you on and we can discuss this or if you wish to uh you know ask somebody else if they want to come on with me and i will discuss this in great depth you know look i'm not knowledgeable what is it either you're not as knowledgeable in arabic

[Laughter] or you as you put on or you have an ulterior motive uh ulterior motive what could my ulterior motive possibly be am i being funded by the vatican and this is ridiculous because this doesn't serve the christian motive because the christians do believe in the virgin birth so i can't be helping the christians by saying this there wasn't a virgin birth and what what possible motive could i have and i haven't

invented this opinion there's been a whole a whole bunch of ulaman i will if you come on my trap i will read them out to you and i and we can test the arguments i mean test the evidence i mean bring any hadith ayat ayat of the quran sorry bring any ayat of the quran that you feel prove this i tell you there isn't a single verse of the quran that mentions of a virgin birth and the verse is to do with mary are quite symbolic and metaphorical they're not actually you know nobody believes them to be entirely literal

uh take the verse speaking of her birth uh maria melati mary who had preserved an assad is a verb that is used often for marriage so god breathed into the the private parts of mary that no muslim believes that that doesn't you know no muslim on earth believes that god physically breathed into mary's private parts but so that verse of the quran that is referring to her

virgin birth nobody takes that literally they understand that to just mean oh of this was a good uh you know it was it was it's saying that it's a good being that is to a good it's to state that it is blessed this creation that's what it's kind of symbolic for it does not mean that uh literally god or gabriel went and breathed into mary's private body that would be blasphemous to to believe that but yeah salafis do yeah i mean of course

ignoring the salafia they don't count on philosophical things but i i even doubt that salafis would openly say that i don't know if they will actually i'd like to know right people so that's um but i am happy if imam mark is still there or if other people are there i am happy to have a discussion with any shirt on this matter what more is there to say huh

so i'm happy to have a discussion if this is very easy to you know it's like um gangutili was saying oh his arguments are so easy to tear apart so easy if it's easy to tear apart just come on and tear them apart i honestly would you know if i disagreed with somebody's arguments and i thought they're so easy to take apart i would just if they invited me i would just go on and i would pick them apart so easily and so the problem then is that either my arguments are strong this aren't strong

[Laughter] this one that uh in the words of the poet that lokunto hadidan that if i was made out of iron they would have broken me liking me [Laughter] he said well it's a good thing i'm stronger than i am

but yeah so right let's what's the next question oh by the way i just want to say here a quick one a quick point here that i'm not saying to anyone that you need to believe my views i don't say that to anyone okay this i have friends teachers students who you know followers who believe some of what i say maybe some of it they don't believe maybe they don't believe most of it maybe they believe most of it maybe they believe

more or less all i've never said to people this is what you should believe and people can say to me look mufti i disagree with you i'm saying absolutely even i disagree with me on so many occasions so it's all good i've never said to people follow my belief i'm just presenting this belief in saying look this makes sense maybe it makes sense to you to someone watching this and they think actually that makes sense maybe to other people it doesn't make sense so they reject it and they say okay fine that doesn't make sense i don't i'm not going to get offended i'm not here to try and say you know i want

everybody to believe what i'm not at all right so right let's move on what what else was there people what else all right what did i say i was gonna speak on oh right so the we're gonna speak on the charlie hebdo right oh before we get to that neural link let's speak about the neuralink people right so those of you that are aware

elon musk has made a fascinating announcement people now he's brought about this this new technology which is called neuralink and he's been speaking about it for a little while to be feared the technology in and of itself it's an invasive brain chip okay which is ahead of its age kind of mind-breaking it's meant to this is the vision it's meant to have mind you know breaking shattering uh cons not consequent achievements to it

now brain chips are not something that are that is entirely new okay being able to uh impact the brain using chips there's already something called utah arrays okay that that is already has been used it's actually approved by the fda in america for usage what they do is they implant this kind of [Music] they're like tiny needles into a certain area of the brain usually on the the kind of sensory motor

cortex okay that to do with movements usually that's the kind of region that they will plant this it's a strip uh over the top uh just you know just behind the neofrontal cortex you've got the sensory motor cortex they will plant it the generally speaking and what that allows is they can stimulate that which will then trigger the electrical circuitry of the brain to and they can learn to manipulate that okay so with utah arrays

you've got patients that have been for example paraplegic or so not maybe some paraplegic but disabled sometimes paralyzed or they've lost limbs and what they do is there's a robotic arm and with the utah arrays they can control so they will get the they have to train obviously they have to train to do it and they get the arm which eventually they realize like when i think like this like they will try to move your arm so for example in now you may think well if you don't have an arm how do you try to move it

it's very pointy yeah that's a so they they train people and pos they use multiple techniques there's a mirroring technique as well that is used where what you do is you place a mirror and you put this arm here and you can see the reflection of this arm as the other arm now it's not actually your other arm because you don't have another arm in this scenario but what you do then do is because the mind the visual cortex is so overwhelming it reads it sees as though you have another arm so then you try to move it and even though you can't move it

obviously because that's actually this harm but what you your brain does is it signals that part that was meant to move it so this is certain ways and these are the techniques as well for which it falls under what they call biofeedback now they train the individuals to be able to move uh remotely controlled um you know robotic arms and things like this which could hopefully be maybe used later on they could even create an exoskeleton that could help

paralyze people get up maybe help people walk it could do all kinds of things now that's already in existence okay these utah arrays the problem with the utah array is if you see them you can see on youtube it has a huge kind of um an output socket which is in the head okay and they have to plug like an actual adapter which is probably about the size of this may be a bit thicker onto that socket and then this has a bunch of cables coming into a huge processor

that is then stocked behind them and so they can only use this utah arrays whilst in that whether it's in the lab or wherever they are in those clinics specific clinics it's not something you can just walk around with it's not that advanced so elon musk has kind has jumped on the game and he's revolutionized it so what he's done is introduced this neural link which is way ahead of the game so it's like saying what he's promising is it's like saying the phones exist the phone lines exist but we're going

from dial-up to mobile phones and everything that mobile phones can potentially do i mean there's a world of a difference but the concept of phones already exists so he's saying that one they will use a a much less invasive chip okay that is small the the kind of the needles it has are ultra fine i mean they are 120 the size of a strand of hair much smaller than what the utah arrays were using they were using i believe 0.1 um millimeter or something and then that had a problem because the brain would react because the blood-brain barrier

would react to it and cause an infection sometimes whereas at this thinness this is like it's like not point nor not something i don't it's well sorry naught point naught um whatever it is it's it's with but it's like it's incredibly significantly much more fine and thin than the utah rays and we're the utah arrays were capable of reading brain signals so let's say it's placed on the sensor sensory motor cortex now

uh what that they could read something like 265 signals that were coming out with neuralink it has been reported to have the capacity to read 3 000 and i think 40 or something but over 3 000 signals i mean that's gone from 200 to 3 000.

that is huge [Music] so it is amazing it's very kind of wow absolutely and what he's done is the other thing is he's saying wireless although in elon musk in his interview in in his kind of uh speech on it he doesn't explain how the truth is it can't be entirely wireless because it would just require way too much to project that because he's saying it's going to be connected to your phone it's it's not going to be connected to your phone like that it can't right now they don't have that technology this is just him um you know just selling it now

what they're most likely going to do is have something which you wear behind your ear which then reads the signal from there and the device behind your ear then projects it to your phone because you couldn't the the the chip inside could not have it just wouldn't have that capacity to be able to uh project it to bluetooth and things like this

you know he just blagged a bit too much there elon musk has then gone on to announce look we're looking to do wonderful things with the cure blindness we're aiming to maybe um you know telepathy communicate without language have things like upload memories store memories uh store thoughts um be able to maybe in the future download things into your brain i mean all of this right now for where we stand is still very much sci-fi uh i think it's an amazing intriguing thought but you see the brain

the sensory motor cortex is different because it operates with movement like you activate it and it moves it does these kind of things the prefrontal cortex or these other parts of the brain we may understand that they deal with certain parts you know the wernick kind of region dealing with language but thoughts and ideas and memories these things are not like we don't know how the the where they're situated it's not like i've got actual you know this memory of me sitting one day on a beach is over here and this one is oh it doesn't work like

that so nobody knows how the brain stores think i mean they know that this region is involved in memories and so on like the hippocampus area and other regions are involved with memory and other things but how does it store them to be able to upload them and back them up and this is still very much we don't know that much about the brain uh unfortunately but what are my thoughts about neurolink i'm very excited i think it's amazing um obviously i don't know whether i would ever volunteer to have a chip in my head but i feel on one

hand it is daunting as well that because things like this do show that being controlled you know somebody could just shut you down remotely can you imagine if they could hack into your brain and like the government could just make you have an epileptic fit um these thoughts are very scary that said i am still very all for this technology because i believe for the for the for the most part it is about curing people is about medicine so i'm absolutely for that i hope it is a success in sha allah

so but i do recognize those scary things of being controlled being hacked becoming you know this is the next stage of evolution but i do feel we are at the next stage of evolution that you know we are as um you know harare says in his book yuval harari that there is homodaeus we are now moving from homo sapien to homodaeus [Laughter] so that's uh it's interesting times people interesting times

uh there's another right mahrab raza shukran shukran much love for the super chat you're doing it you're doing you said ya brought up the quran's authenticity but he said classical explanations can't answer also said h sofia or aya sophia shouldn't have been converted from the church to the mosque but it was converted from museum to the mosque thoughts don't ban me no mahrab we're not going to ban you [Laughter] super chat giving all these super chat banning you would be a mistake

[Laughter] no just missing right so yeah look i've got the thing is i've got very detailed videos on these uh or detailed enough so do watch it please i'm obviously against the eyes of fear being converted to a masjid i understand it went from a museum to a mosque that was your point that it's going from um it's not going from a church to a mosque it's going from a museum to a masjid i understand that but

you see look to me what erdogan is doing is very it's it's sorry it's not very different from what modi is doing in india he is just playing to a religious fanatic populist crowd that's all he's doing because he just wants to secure himself you can't on one hand have issues with what modi is doing with the rise of populism and the far right in india i have issues with that and then on the same hand you know same token be all okay with what erdogan is doing

he is doing the same thing he's just trying to be this islamic hero and the rise of isla you know islam in turkey but the truth is turkey is a secular state you know you have to understand that all these countries are secular states they're not an islamic state so they need to stop acting as though they are an islamic state yes you can do great things for muslims but you have to recognize that the christians too are citizens of they have an equal standing in your country you know they are not second-class citizens

it is a citizenry it's not it's a nation-state it's not a khilafah okay it's not an empire that you've got here so we have to remember these things we have to be moderate and what does it achieve you know all it achieves is a little pat on the back from the muslim right wing why who needs these masjids you know you've got a masjid right there i did a whole talk on it four minutes walk is the uh the blue masjid but do watch my talk inshallah right uh mufti why do you think elon musk was over predicting

i it's not you see because those things currently are just unknown they they you know it's like it's like if elon musk was to announce okay we're going to be doing time travel you know it's not it's just not we don't have that right now although we have certain theories but we don't have how the brain works with thoughts where do thoughts reside where do because all the brain just has neurons it's just working in an electrochemical manner it all looks the same you know where does the idea of capitalism reside

where does the thought of critical uh a critical analysis that you might have conducted reside it doesn't work like that like you know how you're thinking uh that oh this is so this is the this is the the issue but i mean i'm not saying it's impossible for the future but i don't feel we are there yet that's all um right so all right people people people pakistanis have no identity that's a rude statement

i'll just have to put that user in timeout please no racist comments or things like that right okay but i do have a very detailed discussion on identity to do with pakistan it's a mind trap with dr youssef raza do watch it we discuss a lot of this and i am very uh critical okay so do check that out cool people what right let's speak uh briefly on the whole charlie hebdo issue and what do we think

about this okay now everybody is probably aware that what's happened is charlie hebdo have decided to republish the cartoons on the prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam to coincide with the trials of uh of the perpetrators so what what do i think about this this has triggered a bit of a back and forth on social media as you can imagine a bit of an uproar my thoughts on this firstly

i want to be clear i would advise all muslims please do not react okay even if somebody insults the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam or they insult god or they insult the quran or the insult do not uh definitely do not physically react please i mean this is exactly the reaction they want okay they want you they want to show that you muslims are a bunch of barbarians

so do not give them what they want you're just running you're not even walking you're running into it so my first that would be my first plea to all muslims secondly i would state that look no matter what anybody says they do not harm allah they do not harm his messenger they do not harm this thing these things are preserved okay somebody can rip up the quran they can chew it spit it set fire to it the deen of islam has stood the test of time okay the quran and islam are here to stay whether you like it

or you hate it so that is that is the fact that that is a fact that is the reality and people you know despite their bitterness need to get with the program now so just clearing that up so there's no need to become insecure right we are very secure about our faith or we should be right now that said what do i think of this i find these things like these cartoons absolutely ridiculous i find it i do find it preposterous

um and i find it's not freedom of speech okay i mean it's not about that let me explain you see freedom of speech to me is people criticizing the quran criticize it i think i would be happy for people who disagree with the quran to criticize it critique it you find rulings in it absurd say such and such ruling is absurd i find this ridiculous hahahahaha how can a god do this hahahahaha do that i

am absolutely i support your right to do it and i feel that people should have the right not only that i support i feel that people should have the right to express their critical views you want to satirize something satirize it because you want to show when you satirize something usually you show the dumbness of it yeah so this is what you're doing this however you see so that's just putting that out there drawing cartoons of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam in which the prophet is let's just say

being ridiculed not for his ideas not for his concept not for his religion maybe in some okay there are some where this is happening okay but in others just he's being ridiculed sexually he's being ridiculed you know on these kind of you're just insulting just insulting this is not you know this is not about ideas anymore this is just about insulting the prophet and the question is why are you insulting the prophet and the point is because we can and because we can

we want to prove that we can otherwise we clearly can't which is then an uh you know it's an encroachment on our freedoms so it's like saying because i have the right to speak i have the right to insult your mom and because if i don't do that right now then obviously i'm encroaching you know me withholding is an encroachment on my freedoms of expression therefore look there is something known as civility there is you know humanity empathy these things

are real human realities right just this thing which you know we call this badmashi you know this kind of badmashi principle that this through simicon kind of ground on which they're building this that might is right i i'm doing it because i can what are you going to do about you know this this is the angle that they're coming at i absolutely condemn that prince that that approach i don't condemn them criticizing islam i don't condemn them criticize i in fact support their right to criticize islam

and criticize god you know if you have a problem with something of god you have the right to say i look at this how can a god say this say that if you have a problem with something of the prophet say it on most occasions it's probably wrong anyway wrongly attributed to him but say it if you have a problem with certain verses of the quran say it but to do things on on this kind of thracemaking principle this might is right that i'll do it because i can i'll insult you because i can now let me ask you something

why is why can't you do that with racism why can't you just let's say a person comes up and he says i hate all pakis just a view he's just saying look it's the truth i'm expressing it i'm just expressing my feeling why is that why is that wrong because i'm not doing anything violent i'm not saying i never said attack pakistanis people i just said oh i hate all pakis i said pakistan or i said something like this all pakis are sexual predators this is inflammatory language it is

racist language it's actually illegal but the question is why race is a social construct it doesn't actually exist it's not ethnicity there is a distinction between ethnicity and race pakistan is an entity that has only come into it's it's a fictitious entity that has only come into existence so many decades ago and it only exists because we all agree that it exists it doesn't actually exist it's not an actually tangible thing now you could say oh well you know oh but you can't do anything about your race well you can races change all the time

countries dissolve and new countries sometimes emerge the person now racially has a new racial identity right it is not the same as your ethnicity or which is based on a genetic makeup that is different you could be an arab but are you a jordanian arab are you a you know what is jordan are you do you belong to qatar do you belong to what these things are just entities that have come into existence within a few decades they don't actually exist in that they i mean they exist in our minds but they don't exist as an entity the land does exist but the nation

is just a it's an illusory it's a psychosocial entity so people clearly understand why it's wrong to just insult race they clearly understand but i ask you do races not have problems they do so why is why do we understand so clearly that it's wrong to just pick on races races do have problems it is true that the pakistan suffers from so many integral problems including populism

of fundamentalism religious fanaticism misogyny abuse it is true racism that it suffers from these things but to pick on a race why do we recognize that is wrong yet when it comes to islamophobia people say oh but this is just a religion yeah but you see okay a religion is a psychosocial entity but so is a race a psychosocial entity and people to these people it is very dear it's incredibly dear now i'm not saying you can't criticize that religion by all means criticize it

by all means criticize i support your right to criticize the religion tear it to pieces show us where it's wrong i absolutely support you in that but to just do this kind of badmashi this kind of like thromsimakin thuggery that oh because i can you know i'm going to insult because i can that is not a reflection of human empathy yes i mean you can that is true but and people will say oh islamophobia what islamophobia look i want you to just just pause for a

moment think about this you have to understand where the muslim world is coming from they are coming from being hit from so many angles let me give you an analogy people i want you to this it's it's just an approximation okay but think about this there is a person you take a millionaire a multi-millionaire yeah and you take a [ __ ] or somebody that is very poor incredibly poor beneath the poverty line now you get a multi-millionaire bill gates

jeff bezos or whoever you get these people they decide to walk out in some torn slippers why because they can it's true they can because everybody knows that they are millionaires you see they can even we they could wear some torn clothes i don't mean fashionably torn but they could have some crappy clothes on some cheap i don't know car they could do whatever but yeah people might say oh my god they're stingy but okay move that leave that example of the cars

and stuff but let's say how they actually dress so they he walks out one day wearing some absolute trampy slippers nobody would say anything in fact they will say look at his confidence he doesn't care what people have to say but i tell you people it is much easier to be disregarding of wealth when you have it it's not so easy when you don't have it

you know it gets you know like you see when the trump or the person who is incredibly poor even if he's not a trump but he's poor he's struggling when he walks out if he walks out with those kind of crampy slippers that is a incredibly powerful slap in his face as a reminder of all his struggles in life he's being reminded of the very things that this world does not allow him

to have he's being reminded of why his children do not enjoy those opportunities because of this poverty him walking out like that disheveled and bill gates or jeff bezos or these other people walking out disheveled these are universes apart see in a similar way with this thought i want you to bring it back to this discussion you know the muslim who is in the muslim world beneath the poverty line being struck from all angles

they and i'm not saying they're not at fault they are at fault as well but they are being struck they see this world that is the first world that is thriving flourishing it's got all kinds of amenities luxuries they see them and then this slap in the face about religion as well and islamophobia that you see it's not the same they have all these other calamities yes if the the level was you know if the plane was leveled and they were on equal ground they were like

first world countries i feel that they wouldn't really be as bothered by these kind of flagrant um insults it wouldn't bother people as much but because they see that oh all these people are always picking on us always we are always powerless so it comes back as another slap in the face for them and it is true that look in the western world just as people do discriminate on race they discriminate on a person being a muslim

it is true and it is undeniable that when people see muslims they envisage certain stereotypes and they do certain things to block them that you cannot deny islamophobia as real as racism i i don't see it very different to i mean there's a different term for it but it is just a form of racism that is aimed at just muslims and you could say well islam isn't a race i know but a race is a psychosocial construct and religion is a psychosocial construct and you're just discriminating based

on social constructs which is opposed to discriminating based on let's say disabilities although some disabilities i understand but generally disabilities so so just to be clear people do so you will get sometimes people are more discriminatory there's been several studies that have been done on islamophobia people that have made same applications people that have gone for job interviews people that when they see a girl with a hijab when they see a guy with a beard when somebody's you know you sit on a plane

you go on a train you have a beard it is not the same these people are living different realities so when you keep slapping down on them just because you can it lacks that human sentiment so that's what i this is why i do uh absolutely i'm critically against these kind of things i see no but i see see no point to it except the thuggery and you know this charlie hebdo thing let me tell you i sincerely question their motives

they have lost over 50 percent of all their following yeah last year their following had reduced from over i don't know 100 and something thousand followers down to just something like 40 000 or something like this this stunt i feel is it's only as as people will say it's all for the gram you know it's all for the gram this is a new illness of this age that anything for attention that they just want we want to gain more followers we want to once again uh gain people sympathy get out there

you know we want to become relevant once again by creating a stir so we want people to once again say ah oh my god you know masaki [Music] being attacked by muslims let's that's i i sincerely doubt the sincerity they said themselves that we've lost so much following and this and that and we need to you know i seriously and i feel that this is a common thing it's ubiquitous so many people are suffering from this all for the gram all for the gramitus kind of bloody disease that is out there that they just

i saw this clip on uh instagram this guy he's on some rooftop and it's like a a v it's connected to the other building and the incredibly high god knows how many stories high must be like at least 20 stories high or something and this so he could just climb up by just from this building to there but there is like a v gap so uh and that's just all the way down it's just this building and that building adjacent kind of stuck together like that the roofs and instead of climbing up he jumps like this and holds on and climbs up

and just watching it you get anxiety because the camera kind of looks down and shows you how far down it is this is like zero room zero margin for error now somebody asks in the caption that why though why why would you seriously when because you could just climb you could just walk in and just climb the next roof and somebody had rightly so responded why else for the gram you know just to be on instagram for the likes

for the attention and this is this is my point and i feel that a lot of people suffer from this and i know um i said this before an apostate prophet responded with a video i haven't watched all his videos so i wasn't going to really respond but it is true you know him saying that oh mufti abu saying that oh why is it some ex-muslims just do their sob story on repeat but it's true it's just a sub story you know like i get the fact and and his point he said something somebody told me he said something like oh i do this to create an awareness about apostasy

right okay fine you want to create an academic awareness you want to create a that's fine but you know realistically you don't bring any dialogical you know intellectual kind of dialogue to any table all you bring is your experience of having had a bad time and i get that and that's sad and i'm with you that it shouldn't have happened and it shouldn't happen to anyone but you know look you got to stop enough with the this kind of like blah blah blah blah blah you know like the world don't owe you anything you know you need to get over this reality this kind of mentality of the world owes me something it doesn't

owe you anything you need to get up and make your place in this world you know just like crying that oh i've been done onto i've been done on to you know it is sad i agree with you it's wrong i condemn it but okay it's not happening right now so you need to move on you and fine create an awareness i'm not saying don't create an awareness you say i'm creating an awareness to help other apostates leave and is that how you do it you do it by this is how i'm creating an awareness i'm ripping the quran and spitting on it

you know you're creating a more hostile it's like two people are about to you know this situation is a bit tense and you say okay i'm gonna i'm gonna defuse it i get up and i insult his mom a cha-cha logical this one this one einstein you know meanwhile you and get happy that somebody's come to settle to make a piece and as soon as he gets these like your mom's like this and you're and meanwhile you are not like

me peace agreement so you're trying to make things easier for apostates by by roiling up the muslim fanatics [Laughter] this one backside [Laughter] so yeah that's my point on on on these things yeah so that's one of these people you have to you have to know

the logic has to be on point people bro [Laughter] guys we gotta wrap this up soon so okay let's see uh right what is going on somebody said salaam from toronto shukran want to apply for a government job which governs the gambling in ontario is this haram even though i don't gamble no it's not haram to work in which oversees uh legislation or things like this or it oversees regulations of uh

let's say certain gambling locations casinos things like this you're simply doing your job which i take is is more to do with paperwork on the regulatory side of things it's not you're not actually gambling and remember for them it is absolutely permissible we have to remember something that non-muslims are not addressed with the sharia please let's get over this quadriyad explains this very clearly speaking of qadha yada i will be beginning my class this wednesday people the hawaii which that book over there right there

which are the foundations of islam by called the yard beginning this wednesday 8 p.m at the ark people in brahm in the rock all right at the ark in the rock in brom all right if you if you're interested you've got to reach out to shaban it is a capped capacity due to kovid it won't be streamed live but we will put the recording up later on um maybe a couple of days later or stuff um yeah so due to coverage restrictions you have to register so contact muhammad shahban on facebook or at sharpie on insta sh

double a bi and he'll kind of sort you out all right so what are we looking at yeah somebody's mufti promised a video did not the sahaba gamble on improve hadith looking forward to it you're not going to do it in a mosque oh damn do i need to do it in a mask nah hell no i'm not doing it in a mask you don't need to do it in the mosque this is not uh um we'll have a distance isn't it my choice isn't it just on public transport

that you have to wear a mask it's not in your own building that's like you have to sit at home wearing a mask [Laughter] ba haha

[Laughter] had done tawba from drinking but you know when i saw this the clouds and the storm coming i thought my nia just kind of did this uh you know this u-turn all right people so let's move on all right i think we need to wrap this up you don't need a mask indoors i don't think you need a mask indoors if it's your own uh place i think if it's a public place as in it's not a private building that is it's a public building so if it's a private thing

that is uh by you then i feel you don't need although it might be suggested i don't think it definitely can't be law that would be ridiculous [Laughter] i think that's just public transport and i think certain public shared places for the public that are open to the public they're not necessarily even though i suppose they're commercially owned but they are like supermarkets and stuff like that uh right is that apple juice hell no man this

all right did imam malik find hadith of the sign of the hour problematic they could be they could be right people let's wrap this up the final part i was just going to speak about was the masala segment people the masala so people there have been village wars once again village wars okay [Music] [Laughter] no not a good thing there's been village wars amongst the brelvia okay amongst the braves okay so

[Laughter] right so there's been what are these about who are these people involved so it's been quite interesting [Laughter] right the village was back in full effect this if i just arrived now people's peoples those of you that are familiar there is a maulana shahidali uh part of the the clergy from i think

i think bradford or somewhere i don't know up north and there is a malana nabeel of zel so these two people from the brillouin community there you can see so these people have been uh they've been going at it with each other what on earth is all of this about so basically began with there you can see there they are nabil

clearly i think needs to i think there's a few health concerns there but i suppose that happens in life and shahid on the other hand as you can see [Laughter] well i'll leave the concerns to you guys to analyze so what's been going on is those of you that remember a while back this whole thing triggered up about fatima and some scholars in pakistan but since all of these people have offshoots in the uk what you had in the uk was these people

also the the war you know it break the war you know it starts over the and then it kind of trickles through and so these two who once upon a time they were good friends but you know ah now the atti ah going at it with each other and so what they've been doing is basically making a few videos against each other not so much discussing the issue as people might think what they've been actually doing is going at each other's arabic

[Laughter] oh you know this reminds me of johnny boy usually something jonathan brown does but but you know if there's anything that can be done you know obviously the this is can do it better so so you've got there's been if i just an unqualified individual has been recently this is a claim maligning them labeling them as nasabees so this is part of the saying that they have the issue of research you

[Laughter] what we shall see today though is that this individual is unable to even read these texts and and he makes basic uh mistakes in arabic grammar which even an individual who has studied even basic uh introductory works on surface will be able to understand and recognize these he wouldn't go to a doctor who is bogus who is unqualified and

[Laughter] [Music] [Music] but this is [Laughter] [Music]

because this is i [Laughter] is acting here so he's the angel jibril [Laughter] you know for those of you that don't are

familiar unfamiliar with arabic you know the final vowel of a word often is omitted when people speak it often is to be fair you know like if i was if you're to say something like used to say that is actually standard arabic there's nothing wrong but him saying that now he must pronounce it as adm [Laughter] the way pakis overdo it and then you've got a

navil who's uh uh [Applause] [Laughter]

[Music] that's actually for the record those of you that don't know that's sounds so silly when you say just as it is like the same one you say ma assalamu for example goodbye in arabic so i thought well i came across this and i thought seriously are they fighting over this is this what is this the village wars

he thinks he's the angel gabriel and he thinks that's the quran [Laughter] people man people all right so guys with that i think i should wrap it up these people do have way too much uh too much time on their hands so guys other than that if there's any issues right now i'm just checking here if there was uh

um right guys if there's any uh any issues anything reach out to me instagram facebook i will be checking more and more of the messages i am beginning the class from this wednesday we should be taking a look at a bit of on the intro to other his life um why you know some amazing features about that and then hopefully going into the first pillar of islam cool guys i see petty nonsense absolutely views on remedy sub absolutely awesome of course talk to shabir yusuf i have no

idea who shabir yusuf is uh what about apis what about apus oh i hadn't really watched his thing so i didn't reply to it but that was my brief reply to him you know i genuinely feel that people need to move beyond the sub substory on repeat stop seeking the sympathy of just people and they need to be proactive they want to be critical be critical but be proactive you know do something bring something of value to the table um guys are right other than that all else is well those of you that aren't aware i'm on patreon you could check that out
