you're doing it man you're doing it so people people yeah first and foremost we have to come to the uh sad and unfortunate news that yep in the uk coronavirus the scare tactics are there again but after a month of uh help out eat out go out as much as you can now the whole of the uk is about to be treated like brown daughters
[Laughter] they're gonna have a curfew man i hope the curfew is not generic i mean okay to be more precise i hope they don't sting gyms and they don't mean you gotta be inside your home that's like just military state totalitarianism because people like me who are vampires that will hi uh it's gonna it's gonna make us have to be maybe on the wrong side of the law nothing new there i guess
so people's peoples right alright shadman you're doing it man you're doing it so let's see what are we going to be covering tonight uh right we'll be taking a look at um a few topics i wanted to discuss briefly shariah some interesting rulings some mind-boggling perspectives on what people's assumptions are the shady i'm what it sometimes actually is of course as always as always people you know placing a
veneer of evidence and and showing as always quoting from the yeah the bible on earth as always quoting from the evidences i'll be showing you the evidences in addition to that oh i did want to do a brief review of the book in god's path want to take a look at that i know as you know so desperately anticipated the saga people the saga that has been
breaking down over pagan gate danny boy and you've got on the other hand omar soleiman none are innocent but it is an interesting game uh it is one which i feel personally is is one of house of cards
yes yes absolutely i do feel there's a lot of house of cards that's going on i don't think any of these people are entirely innocent or as you know so as they sometimes portray and we gotta take we gotta take apart this house of cards play that's going on danny boy on one side umar suleiman on the other he's got a whole a whole tag team situation going on with yes is in there as well hell yeah yeah as always we it doesn't disappoint with a small d
so we've got yasir khadi biggie d [Laughter] who's on that side you've got people like omarisa i mean sorry he's also joined the you know he's been tagged into the situation you've got a bunch of people on that side on this side you've got uh danny boy the who's the currently the underdog right
rising in the ranks of this championship and he's brought in as a tag team scenario none other people than dawa mahan dawa man so we're going to be taking a look at that kind of tag team wrestlemania scenario going down but yeah before anything let's get back to yeah we'll speak about big d biggity and the crew later on but right now let's look at some of these things oh
the shayari people the it's an anniversary not that kind of an anniversary it's a it's a death anniversary it's a death anniversary of mir mirza so i'd like to say out one two poems of his but before we get to that let me just bring up some poetry of speaking of people who've passed away the legend erfan khan bringing up his uh uh bringing up some poetry he said whilst i play this you can just click
like click share spread the love people the low the low spread the low and the [Music] that's not the one [Laughter] like what this one these are not nice my friends let me see what this one is
[Music] foreign oh wait that is me here is people going out
he was a legend also so people that's i thought let's spark it off with a bit of uh a bit of poetry whilst people are tuning in clicking like clicking share oh let me put this book over here this is something i want to share with you as well something interesting is
afterwards afterwards this boy is this place right so speaking of the legend who is known as the god of poetry now or the god of expression now you see it's interesting that people in the past weren't so freaked out about oh my god this is shirk or this is that because they didn't mean it in a way that they worship him but they do use that title for him in urdu which
as people so often remind us is a language invented by muslims [Laughter] so this one is interesante but he was an absolute legend somebody who brought a kind of sensual touch to his poetry introduced many of the um almost idiomatic phrases that went on to become commonplace in the urdu language and some of his epic poems that you might have already come across his actual name by the way was um
you know it's uh but his name was mufti but known as the legend his ultimate you can see the kind of uh
how he what he's saying i'll translate for some of the he says all the planning went to you know it went to the dogs it was it was useless no preparation had prepared me all medication was just null and void it was incapable of medicating me he says avenged he says see eventually did not this condition of the heart
for forever seal my affair right there's an interesting line here actually which touches in on philosophy and theology says he says it's unfair that we have been given this label of free will
now he says that which you will is done we just get done over for free i love the courage and the audacity that the classic poets had we can learn so much from them there's uh there's the very famous poem that many of you may have heard it's been incorporated in songs and stuff like that
that line is actually so if you ever come across it i'm sure you have right he says let's see there's this fascinating one that mahar ki tujsetavakuti is whom i wished
whom i hoped to be a well-wisher like somebody that i thought good of they turned out to be a tyrant he says what we had assumed that your heart was soft as wax it turned out to be as hard as rock
he says you would write something in life but what you actually wrote turned out to be a legacy of passion you know i one of the few poets who i would absolutely unquestionably give the crown to is in my you know personal preference miradaki meets up i i rate him in that sense
you know he is just the don he's like biggie d he's up there so and the famous some of you may have heard the famous uh lines about yaro mujemo africa that's actually his poem it's turned into a famous song actually in people in ghazal and people have sung it
um you know many people sing has sung it as well amongst other people i i believe jack jeet singh unless it was but anyway you can you can find it on youtube um it says he says he
and they a a famous one which i'll just read and then we'll move on i'll read some lines from it that we came destitute and all we left behind was an echo wow this is an existential poem people that
have that be happy that you know we leave this world by leaving you a dua like i could mean you see he was the type of person that despite what he saw in his lifetime he's in the 1700s and then he dies in the early 1800s in his lifetime dilly is is is is ransacked and raided and destroyed and and he sees so many just kind of tragedies and downfall uh of the mughal
kind of the kingdom and yet and he does travel he does bring a kind of a spirit of life to his poetry he's not a pessimist by any measure and he still heavily preponderates towards living life to the you know to its fullest to the max his his poem that
that does anybody intentionally die i mean is there such a person he that so says as you have life you can conquer the world that is an epic uh spirit that he infuses into his [Music]
you see he's saying that when i said i could not live without you i'm finally fulfilling that covenant and he says that it was not in my destiny to be cured but to my capacity i tested the medication [Laughter]
what was that one pursuit over which we sacrificed everything and every other joy in this world he says that how often we desire to pass by your home so eventually we go this way but what he's trying to say is being carried as a as a unfortunately he's passed away [Laughter]
so it's he's saying bathed in blood but he means his kind of his body but he says that you see i continue to prostrate and what he's saying here is i continue to do sujood to allah meaning it's not that i fell short in my worship like what was necessitated i did you that the right of worship
we fulfilled in its own right but then he mentions parasthesi that but we our devotion to you and but here is his beloved is his his love but he's calling her an idol a statue of worship or devotion that to that extent that people considered you to be a deity but i love what he says at the end you see when people will look at he almost answers this question which he's
going to present in the final line he says that this life we spent in structuring poetry that that this art we perfected it as we left
and then the question which actually is the prequel to that line he just said that what should we say if one was to ask asmir that you came in this world but what did you leave behind and in some ways he's answered that in the line before so is fun that we perfected this art of poetry
i thought i had to share that with you guys let's take a look at some of your questions what's preoccupying some of your precious thoughts people feel free to post your questions must be sobering up yeah sobriety is overrated but everybody you see you have your own forms of intoxication you see intoxication doesn't have to mean alcohol can mean many things to some people it's power to some people it's knowledge to some people it's
it's self-discovery it's it can mean many things or in the expression of imam malik the paths that which lead which lead to god are many so all right those of you by the way who've not watched the latest mind trap this was it uh it was an amazing discussion with sayid hamad ali a phd candidate approaching his doctorate
i believe in just a couple of months it was seriously an absolutely mind-boggling overwhelming dialogue discussed many things from sociological issues to gender definitions to socialization to the um how islam or sharia is shaped in many ways or engineered at times a bottom-up approach we also spoke on consciousness spirituality the the legend uh legendary
mystic ibn arabi and his philosophies and how they went on to impact many muslims for centuries up until this very day so it's definitely something worth watching i also feel that he's an amazing individual especially in these topics if you have questions do reach out to him and connect with him cool so right what else is going on yeah people yep but if you haven't already subscribed and liked and then what can i say [Laughter]
it's youtube people the notification belt is also miss patrion sitos all right patreon right people you know what it is that's the school if you wanna express your love and support so let's take a look at what people have been posting here right so
mufti was the earth created in six days [Laughter] if you seriously are asking that i mean is that is that a real question please for god's sake for the love of god mufti my super chat what's your super chat uh [Music] peace adam garden and tree was this on earth or did i miss a super chat did i
right shukran people for your super chat much love yep there was a super chat by much love much love the question about was adam um on earth of course adam was on earth where else was adam he was hardly in the international space station which did not exist then [Laughter] you know what do you think like what adam was living in some planet or some galaxy or some out there and then he
gets beamed to earth right well you can believe that if you want people can believe what they like but the common understanding is that adam was on earth okay that his janna just means garden in arabic it does not mean you see janna in arabic does not mean this kind of cloudy heaven that's you're taking that from christian literature and you're transporting it across so how they would say like in
spanish cielo heaven now in english heaven as in the heavens above to do with the sama samawat the heavens but in arabic samawat has the heavens as in the skies and the cosmos and up there has never been jannah jannah in arabic means garden like allah says in the quran that he gives a muthal he gives the example of the person who ha who who had a garden and and then he and then it gets afflicted and so on jannah just simply means gardens okay so adam
was in this kind of paradise this eden this garden of eden jannat that does not mean it was out of this world it was in this world somewhere and that is the view by many ulama including and speaking of even i'll be sharing some interesting across some very fascinating things to share but we'll come back to that in just a moment does your brain neurotransmitters affect personality heavily does your does your as
in my or the universal you do are you asking that is personality shaped by neurotransmitters no not by neurotransmitters in that sense obviously neurotransmitters are a result of the activity that is taking place in the brain now i
it's a complex process there's many there's a um it's you see there's many things happening in real time okay that the brain is incredibly sophisticated but personality the question is that is personality for example uh is it inherited is it through our dna do we gain our personality
is it nature or nurture now i would feel that to a great extent there is an epigenetic process so there is uh unquestionably our dna would play a significant role in our personality in how it begins i definitely feel that i also feel that that part i think you know that part is a scientific discussion neuroscientific psychological stuff like that biological i also believe in another factor which i
suppose is more philosophical and not really biological in that sense i would believe that our consciousness the way it the interplay between the consciousness and our bio biology results also in some impact on our personality as in some impact now that's almost going to be impossible to prove and i get that um but that i do feel that that's my you know my personal take in the that i feel the ruach plays some role in in how we
i'm not saying that any of these are the you know the the dominant players i'm saying that these things all play a role so there is the dna there is uh i feel that there is consciousness there is that plays some role there is unquestionably things like um the environmental factors so you could and this may make a difference so it could be that for example let's say through your you know biogenetics you have your body
has um dna to the dna code is rich in producing a healthy amount of serotonin let's see now that means that you by default like let's say happiness if i can or happiness meaning like if we place it on one to ten and we're measuring it against being stressed and anxiety and being worrying about things and you know being very worrisome extremely worrisome and uh plagued with this kind of like depression and on the other sense you've got a calm
tranquil sense of happiness if we're placing it like that now let's say five is in the middle now your biogenetics your kind of dna already codes for you to be placed at something like six or seven like let's say that that that's how your dna has already been structured now you've got a bit of an upper hand let's say most people are around five and a half six five that kind of marker now somebody's dna could be
uh in a way poor that they don't have a healthy sense of uh they have an im an imbalance in the neurochemistry so the serotonin levels are not as high as normal people so this is where your dna is impacting your general happiness but but you see the person could train themselves to overcome like you could be let's say you were a normal five and a half or i'm just using these terms arbitrarily by the way just
as an approximation this is not an official code in how happiness is measured an affectometer but i'm just explaining so let's say you were out of five and a half or at a six but you faced so much grief in life unfortunately that it really beat the hell out of you that it brought your levels down it could be so you actually despite having the dna capacity and the information your environment was so plagued with
tragedies that you you know you you were depressed and are more on the anxiety side or it could be that imagine you were just a five but then through diets by taking in certain you know having a healthy diet because things like neurotransmitters and stuff like that us you know they are contingent upon an uptake of certain amino acids and stuff like this now if you are having a healthy diet and then you're training yourself like let's say you went through a certain amount of stress but
trained yourself to cope so you've actually increased so and then what would happen is as you've increased when you would have children you would pass on that ability to to them so there is this epigenesis this kind of uh epigenetical factor that takes place as well so it's not doom and gloom but some people may be kind of more predisposed to a better or a worse handicapped situation but they can also remedy it through their own interventions in life so yeah
i hope that helps right so what is going on hassan too much nonsense on chats like stupid school kids people any kind of nonsense um you know will be deleted so and you could be blocked probably doing it with the super chat much love much love could we appreciate the good without evil on earth and what's going to happen to this appreciation
in jannah where there is no evil bad that's a good thought that a good question that look what's going to happen in the afterlife the truth is we don't know what's how it's going to work because you're asking us to conceptualize something which is not our current state of conscientious comprehension [Laughter] we don't truly comprehend it's like trying to think in different dimensions trying to think in 4d 5d
you know 10 dimensions we can't it's not we are restricted the you know it's how kant and other people centuries ago explained that the human mind is trapped within time and space we cannot out think even when we try to out think space we just think of it inside another space [Laughter] that's human are you human that's human capacity
right so all right uh zebra how do you do just plan your future afterlife here yeah sure i mean look the afterlife is something that is to happen it's qualitative fabric or real feel or we just won't understand and the truth is your assessment is as good as mine which is as good as somebody else's
right so um abdul boy says the quran disproves you any adam was created in heaven and adam was created in heaven you see it's you see i i don't realize that these kind of people are gonna be watching so they can i don't realize how easily i'm gonna get refuted
so i just say what i i want and then all of a sudden little do i know that people are on it [Laughter] yeah so look you know with adam alaihissalam where he was born you can believe what you want nobody's stopping you you can believe adam lived on saturn you can believe that adam lived in andromeda or he lived on the seventh heaven whatever the seventh heaven means uh or he lived in i i doubt it
i don't think any muslim really believes he lived in the paradise of the afterlife because the afterlife hasn't happened yet that would just be dumb so he lived in this world somewhere so you can say he lived outside of this planet earth i mean i don't know why that doesn't make any sense but okay if that brings some peace to your mind that adam alaihissalam was living on you know he was living on jupiter and then he kind of descends to planet earth
i don't know whatever you know whatever floats your boat mate but this what i said was the way that your dada you know the the wahhabi granddad uh himself this was his understanding in i believe is it he mentions this that it's on earth as do many people believe this it was on earth why does allah say in the quran that i'm going to create now a species that comes at the end and they say oh but you know if you do that it'll create mischief
was uh this place this [Laughter] was it your dada's uh heaven was it i mean obviously aard means earth in arabic means earth in fact the word uh maybe the word earth i believe it may have been taken from the arabic word so um so that that's what the verse of the quran means but anyway yeah so muhammad marriage can i take back my promise from allah
not going to be your friend now [Laughter] even the angels are confused on this one can i take back my promise promise for what for that you're gonna be a good boy well i had my fingers crossed [Laughter] you take it back don't worry you take back your promise
take it somebody said i missed a super chat let me just check [Music] uh right now i can't see any that i've just taken a look here as far back as i can go um oh marshall should the wrist bone and the ankle be covered outside of an inside of prayer
i've been told by my hanafi relatives it should be covered but it's cumbersome rather oh but it is one must peruse one's prerogatives it is cumbersome since i have long limbs [Laughter] what was that uh street fighter character that had the long limbs wasn't he the indian one
i've forgotten his name now damn i used to be so obsessed with street fighter as a teenager but yeah but yeah so that basically that guy dalton that's it dalton i'm not sure why would you want to cover the wrists and the ankle oh this is i take it that the question is to do with women having to cover in salah do they need to cover their wrists look i would say that these things the deen
was natural you know when islam came it was not really this kind of uh ocd structure that people later converted into so for example when let's say um becomes a muslim in the famous story and he he is told oh many people they come to the prophet similarly and they become muslim and they want to touch the quran or they they want to read the quran or they want to do something and they're told
why don't you go take no one must do a russell so they take a kind of bucket and and they just go and they spill it over themselves and they just wipe down and they come now fast forward 300 years and the scholars would be like once institutionalization has kicked in and they'll be like no but has every every here has every hair being covered has it been touched have you managed to wipe your back and what about the belly button did you
remember the belly button did you remember underneath the knees did you remember oh but what about between the fingers between the two nutty this was not how the prophet and the companions in early islam behaved this was not they just had a natural like just a washing you know like it was a ritual we're gonna perform a bathing ritual they're just going to you know wash over with water and class later on as institutionalization kicks in
you get the ocd structures you get this element of control superstitions uh the this this kind of uh this ritualization but on steroids and at that stage people do all this kind of weird stuff so my point is that look keep the deen natural do you think in the prophet's time that women when they were praying they were like oh but is my wrist slightly uncovered or is my you know is my oh my god you know when i went into sujood did my
ankle slightly get uncovered you really think they they behaved like that they didn't i'm telling you as a fact they didn't they were just normal natural like they just covered and prayed maybe at times certain things were uncovered like these kind of things like wrists or part of the forearm and hence early salaf said the forearms were not even in the hanafi madhhab was it not abu yousuf um there's a position i believe also transmitted from ibn at birth but it's
abu yusuf has this position some other that the forearms are not even part of the hijab so i would say look relax if these things were that important would allah have forgotten to teach you you know allah says you know we have not fallen short in this book of ours in this message in this revelation that tibian and li kulishi that things will be made clear would the prophet not have highlighted it during his lifetime you bring me one sahih did you know
there is not a single sahih hadith to do with hijab not a single verse of the quran that explicitly explains what hijab is not a single verse now you could say they infer it you can infer but the verse does not clearly explain considering it's you're gonna get thrown into hell hey it might be i don't know about this might be the time to explain it's like if i'm going to shoot you for this afterwards then you know this now sounds like a good time to explain
what i'm expecting unless i just want to shoot you anyway so it's like what is the point then you know this is that same thing you know otherwise you just want to throw us in hell anyway so you you know what's this game of pretending we have free will so look this is why the ulama the clergy that we have have betrayed the public it's all about control i'm not saying
something sincere but it's about control i'm telling you and the dean is natural take it naturally do not obsess over these little oh my god is this showing is that showing oh my god one hair came out two hairs came you know this kind of thing is not the the the deen that the prophet brought yes this is the is institutionalized version of islam that three four hundred years after the prophet had been concretized by the clergy i accept that it is i'm not saying i'm not saying to you nobody in islam
has said these things many people have but it begins centuries after the prophet cool i hope that helps right so what is going on the extremist clergy uh mufti can you talk about ocd over prayer yeah the prayer is the same thing you know it's a it's a ritual that is
look a certain amount of ritual in life is is healthy a certain amount the tricky thing can be how much you don't want to turn into some weirdo but you realize that as human beings rituals play an important role in our psyche that's just the way human beings have evolved so praying in a day is an amazing ritual to have it is part of what the deen has imparted it is in we have been instructed but it is
something that should be done really as as something you want to you know if like let's say you've been busy you haven't prayed yeah let's say let's say it should be like a kind of disappointing feeling to you that you're not damn i haven't really prayed today it shouldn't that's how it should be it should not be because prayer is really an expression of gratitude it's not this scary scaremongering you know threatening
being intimidated into offering if that's your version of salah i feel sorry for you you know i honestly if i would write me as a person i'm not saying you need to do this if that was to me my version of salah would rather not pray because i don't understand a god that would want to blackmail me or threaten me to because i'm nothing to god why would god even need to threaten me into doing something scaring me into doing it
i would want you see as allah says that that i have not created that i have that i have brought them into existence that it is through my being that they be that they consequently they worship me that is how i if let's say i've missed salah this is how i i would i feel disappointed like sometimes i
i think all right tomorrow let's let's try every day renew that resolve you know if even if you fail a hundred days in a row still get up you know what today i'll do it maybe you'll fail again but the next day have that resolve again and this by the way is to be extended in all in all matters of life where you can this resolve to not to not give up so that's what i would advise that to me
these things are a sign of devotion of connection to allah they are and we all slack i slack you know definitely and i'm sure people slack but it's something personal and if you are slacking it's only a sign that you're a human being human all too human but you've renewed your resolve you know tomorrow inshallah you know that i will or as you wake up today i will sorry not tomorrow today as you wake up i will and if you fail again you will again and so that's that's my advice on things like salah
i wouldn't advise this kind of but it's up to you look if you want to you can do whatever the hell you want if you want to be like all scared and all you know oh my god my life's going to be cursed now because i've not prayed oh my god i'm gonna lose my risk now because i've not prayed oh my god something terrible is gonna happen to me you know why my relationship is ruined because he doesn't pray or i don't pray or you know why i've had horrible things in my life is because i haven't prayed
to me that look it's it's it's a kind of right answer but for the wrong reasons you know you you are kind of right that you want to pray and you should pray you're right but for the wrong reasons that you're doing it out of this kind of oh my god i'm cursed as though god curses you and the only way this god lifts his curse is if you fall in prostration to him that sounds to me like the ancient you know
beliefs of the pagans and heathens and so that that's my take that's how i uh if it's meaningful take it accept it if it's not right so salam spondan aftab you're doing it with the super chat you do and it much love much love salaam mufti are there are there any enemies of islam in today's society what do you think about the term enemies
of islam yeah um you see there are people who hate on islam it's unquestionable that i wouldn't doubt it for a second i don't think the world hates on islam but i don't you know i'm not some kind of conspiracist in that sense that the whole world is against us it's all a jewish conspiracy [Laughter] i'm not you know that kind of stuff the illuminati and all of this
but at the my private jet again right so but it's incredibly naive to think that there aren't people and powers at times that do hate on islam for whatever reason and they do proactively like the media proactively goes out of his way to malign to distort the image of to hate on to create biases against islam unquestionably the media it's unfair what the media does about
islam because islam is the villain the fashionable villain today so you know it's vilified i don't but i'm not trying to say that we now start becoming negative and hating on people in turn no i don't believe in that at all but i'm not naive either i do it i understand that not every person who criticizes islam hates islam that is not the case i don't believe so that's not my understanding if a person is an islam critic or they criticize islam that does not translate to me as they hate islam
they have an opinion just as i have an opinion on many things they have an opinion if somebody has left islam it does not necessitate that they hate islam it does not necessitate it could just be islam has not made sense to them so but on the same token or you know on that note there are also many people who just hate islam they just obsessed with this hatred and i'll tell you something about hatred people you know hatred is this kind of disease
it is almost a it is almost poetic justice how allah has allowed this emotion to manifest that once a person immerses himself or herself into hatred they drown like they eventually fall on that sword themselves this and this is poetic justice it's as the poet he says that it is that this hatred is like
that you know wow look at the god's law in hatred and jealousy and that look at the law he set out in it that the person who who kind of invested in it it destroyed and consumed them so this is the thing you know people like jay smith um a christian polemicist he's always argue clearly somebody who just hates islam like it doesn't matter what islam could say you know protect the ozone layer he'd be
like what the hell you know he just he's just obsessed with the hatred of islam and there are people like that unfortunately so those people i'm i have zero interest in engaging any person that i feel and i suppose to some extent it's my assessment subjective but if i feel a person it is full of hatred towards islam it's not about being objective it's not about them being critical critical i don't mind criticizing i don't mind but if i get the vibe that they just bitter and hatred and just like you get with some people and i've said in the past as well some people are
just a sub story on repeat and these kind of things i not interested in engaging right so yeah j smith i i watch you know sometimes youtube recommends these things and i've seen them and they're ridiculous they're absolutely ridiculous you know they're just like he'll just bring on anybody they'll just say anything oh yeah so this clearly proves uh muhammad did not even exist oh [Laughter] you know what i'm intrigued by that
these same people will say jesus existed and there's literally no evidence on earth to say jesus existed at least for the prophet muhammad there there is evidence there is evidence one can dispute the strength of the evidence there's non-muslim sources quoting referencing muhammad from either the end of his life or just one two years after you've got byzantine sources you've got some uh the middle eastern sources in his lifetime documenting the prophet so you've got within uh but the point is that you've got nothing
like this for jesus now we do believe jesus existed but it's surprising that these people have no loyalty to objectivity it's just a prejudice we hate islam that's it these arguments will only use them against islam we won't use them ourselves [Laughter]
much love for the super chat mufti what do you think about women huh what do i think about what scandal this one become the scandal you know the scandal what do you think about women marrying non-muslim women non-muslim men where my what what's the subconscious doing to me today this one is on plotting against me the subconscious is considering if the women is independent and can have her identity and follow her religion
so i have a uh i have a whole video dedicated to this question do watch it i do explain in that video that the nikah in and of itself i feel would be valid between a muslim and a non-muslim the question but i go into great detail quoting evidences showing the understanding of the taberine and the definition of an act the distinction between farsi and batil that there is something when it is fasted you might say
wasa that the thing is by the origin the structure is valid it's just the conditions aren't being fulfilled but that does not necessitate according to all scholars that the whole structure is null and void and then i explain examples and i go through that i do explain that and i go through uh historic narrations where people the majous are then brought in as ahlul kitab and today who are can we consider as and how certain scholars had considered hindus and these people from the
indian subcontinent as al-kitab as well people of scripture and why the quran created an otherness that was needed at that time is it needed today so i go through all of these discussions i do explain that in my understanding the act and the act the contract of nicaragua would be the ceremony would be valid i accept that it wouldn't live up to all the requirements that the scholars have laid out obviously but the other person not being a muslim would
violate one of the conditions but i said that i still feel it would be valid that said i do caveat i do place at the end my opinion on saying that look i do believe religion is incredibly important faith is incredibly important to people who value it now you see you know when people are
right so when people are in a very lovey-dovey phase low low you see they're very um forgiving right they're very forgiving of differences of annoying factors features um they're very kind of accommodating but the problem is the problem [Laughter] the samasiyah is further down the road
when the relationship cements stabilizes uh not stabilized sorry cements people have children they have a family when it sets into the mundane at that stage in the future faith can become a huge um point of conflict and i think people sometimes in the lovey-dovey phase so easily undermine these that they think and they think yeah
come on it doesn't make a difference but for many people maybe not for everyone but for many people down the road it will it's a huge point of conflict so either come to terms with that in the beginning that's what i would say or think this through carefully because if a person has already got that understanding then it's that's fine if they haven't and they're just thinking they're just relying on love to swing everything through that they're gonna be in for a bit of a a surprise
i i remember speaking to a colleague a while back and he was a non-muslim vika english guy we used to work together he used to teach he would teach french and he was considering he was deeply in love uh with a muslim girl uh he was yeah she she was moroccan so the french i suppose helped in that sense and of course of course so he was uh completely and it was a
very like a long enduring relationship for many years and they they were on the verge of getting married and everything you know he see everything through it doesn't matter love blah blah blah all this kind of stuff she was cool uh there was one little thing i suppose she wanted him to become a muslim just nominally just for the sake of the moroccan law so because they need to kind of by law be a muslim so she was just saying well nobody's going to really you know question it whatever so he would because we used to work together me and him
he would sometimes kind of ask my opinion on things what do you think what's this what's that and i remember that at one point he after after everything was set and he'd made all the plans she was going to be coming here they'd looked at he'd looked at a place she'd already been here and he was gonna you know everything was everything was set up i remember at that stage he uh called it all off and you know when he called it off and he told me afterwards oh that i've cancelled all of that plan by the way so i was quite taken aback because i was like whoa what
because this guy was he was like at one point at one point he was madly in love with that girl and what did you see i tell you what changed the thing is because the relationship had endured for many years along the way they had some tiffs they had some arguments fights um trouble in paradise so what this had done was it had brought in a reality check that you know when you all of a sudden are angry with someone then you as imam shafer he says in his
poem that when you dislike something when you look with that eye all of a sudden you see a hell of a lot of faults now he started to say he said to me that look he wasn't against like he didn't like islam himself as a person he never used to discriminate but he did not like islam just because of the bad experience he had with muslims and he said to me look let's be honest she wants a child when we have a child he said that let's say his egos look
right now it's all you know just all lovey-dovey romance but ten years from today he said let's be honest she's gonna want her child to at least go to a mosque at least learn how to pray eve whether he prays or not he said she's gonna want these let's be honest she's gonna probably want him to have a muslim name she's probably gonna want him to at least learn how to read the quran and he said look i respect that that you know people that are muslim would want that even though he said she's not very religious at all but i understand i'm not stupid that she
would want this from her child and he said that i couldn't not tolerate my child going to a mosque like he said that that's just to me like taking the piss now you see that that's looking at things from the lens of sobriety so this is why i do say to people that you know have a reality check before you think these things through if you think it's fine then so be it right somebody said muftisab which masjid are you
in do i look like a masjid could contain me [Laughter] so right what is going on people what is going on right so right let's move on to sorry i was just trying to see the comments um yep claire jones doing it is you doing it you're doing it margaret you're doing it right so
um what are your thoughts zaid saying the super chat i will take a look what is the super chat that i've not rami has sent in want to know your thoughts on extremely elaborate mosques assuming their costs both time and resources are in line with islamic principles or are they borrowed ideas after the byzantine structures we are from the byzantine and not so much i mean that's where it comes in it's more to do
with um the aristocrat you know the the aristocracy that enters is the islamic empire especially during the abbasid era and i suppose some signs are there during the umayyad dynasty as well i mean it's here now it's uh i don't think there's you know i understand people want a prestigious masjid i get that um i don't know if there's a need really for having a hundred masjids and each one done up in that way but
then muslims don't have unity and the problem is this sect wants their mask and this sect wants their mosque and then they all want to turn it into something that looks like it's out of pakistan bangladesh or india or in the middle of the uk whereas really they should have structures that harmonize with the local local kind of geography but yeah that's um i hope that makes some sense let me what did i miss another i answered that super chat about the enemies aisha answered her super chat
brad can you talk about the murjia specifically salafis hate them brad childers doing it with the super chat much love patricia crone believes the prophet was alive uh because of the frog fragment of the arab conquest which mentions the prophet yes i mean patricia crone i have mentioned that previously that she does highlight that for her it's unquestionable in her words she says it's a matter of certainty that the prophet muhammad was a person that existed
she uh clearly states that because of exactly what i said a moment ago because he is documented by people that are either the documentations are in the final year of the prophet's life or maybe a couple of years after but it's very clear that he existed yeah the murji ah right the murjia are right this is a sect that a lot of the theologians speak
about and why do the selfies always go on about it because the selfies just live in a cuckoo world [Laughter] you know the selfies they live like they just taught books of of of iraq sects that are deviant and this sect is this deviant sect that believes this and is going to hell this sect is this and it's going to hell so all they do is know those names of those groups those groups haven't existed sometimes for a thousand years uh sometimes they haven't existed for 1200 years sometimes they haven't existed for 700 years
600 they have not existed these are pre-modern these are like from the antiquity but to them because that's all they read they just read ibn te mia de dada who just writes who was obsessed with sectarianism you know hypnotamia as well he's just this character isn't he i mean i do find him sometimes fascinating his way of thinking but then he's so um he he was he would have been somebody that would have suffered from like some kind of a personality
disorder because it's really weird like you know people you'll have stories of people uh prominent people that will invite him that they will be huge fans of his i and they they are prominent as well they will invite him and he will then just be so we like he'll refute them and then they'll go on to hate him and it's just he see he sure the interesting things he says fine but he he was unfortunately a troubled man a very troubled person who
struggled with a lot of stuff and had a lot of hate inside of him and um for whatever reason you know maybe sociological reasons and then obviously he got imprisoned his family got imprisoned his brother was in prison his brother died whilst in prison being in prison and yeah you know the whole thing people did you know people did obviously conspire against him as well and they succeeded because he got battered got beaten up chucked in prison left there for years tortured you know like when that happens to you you become a bit loopy you know that that unfortunately i'm not saying that's a
that's tragic to happen to anyone but it did and he's this very bitter person when it comes to sectarianism hates on people calls them a deviant calls them this and yeah and the salafi is like next to worship him this is another problem you know the selfies to him he might as well just be the prophet to them ibn samir is a how ali is to the shia seriously i'm not joking
is perceived to the shia as being up there absolutely up there maybe on a par if not just slightly beneath the prophet that's how ibn tamir is with the selfies he is like they won't admit it but in practice he's like either on par with the prophet or just slightly a notch beneath the prophet you know it's like uh some of the salafi said you know if it wasn't for his for him coming you know six seven hundred years after the prophet really he had excelled many companions
[Laughter] okay this this is what the wahhabi dawa does to you you know these were hobbies honestly they have lost the plot [Laughter] you know i mean don't get me wrong i admired some things he says and he you know he's some of his each they had was forward thinking i admire that but he you have to understand he was he suffered from a lot of mental health issues
and which weren't his fault but we have to understand that yeah he accepted the satanic verses but chara was like he never got married did he this is uh this is what happens when you're starved off of the opposite gender this is although i don't know whether he had i think he did have slave girls to be fair so um so i could be wrong about now actually i'm pretty sure he did have slave girls here because he would uh i've read about him in the past that he would even when he'd go to the toilet he'd have his slave girl
read outside from the book you know like you know people today say that when you go to the toilet that you need to go with your phone or something otherwise you're like you know all of a sudden you're like picking up the air freshener and you're like wow that's so fascinating and [Laughter] so in the past ibna tamiya what he would do is he would have his slave girls stand outside the toilet door and read the fit books the sharia books and stuff so he's not missing out whilst he's [Laughter]
ah your devotion he goes [Music] [Laughter] [Music] disagreed ah that's uh right right so let's uh right let's go on to this book that i wanted to speak about now
i finished this book uh by uh we've got hoiland now robert hoyland this was uh i was actually going through it on audible nice that that i i prefer actually listening to a lot of books now it i just finished it this week gone and i have to say it was a very fascinating book my i thought i'd just share a few words on it i found the author's perspective to be reasonably neutral i did not find him to be uh you know sometimes people fear that
oh some people will just hate on islam or they'll be just negative towards islam i i didn't feel that generally speaking throughout the book naturally the person isn't a muslim so huilin does assess it from an outsider's perspective he will give that he speaks about how islam kind of spreads proliferates the efficacy of the empire how the empire
to to really prosper it absorbs the cultures and the heritage in which it finds itself he speaks about all of that he speaks about the companions he's it's very fascinating and i i did find him to be on many occasions uh quite fair in his observations it's interesting when he speaks about muawiyah and how malawia incorporated a lot of the administrative structures he found to generate wealth for the muslim empire i found that very fascinating how he speaks about some of the
um some of the military campaigns of ma'awiyah against the christians and i found that very fascinating that he speaks on what he mentions this particular example where muawiyah and he's i found him to be quite fair where he does speak that there was quite a bit of bloodshed um done by the muslims but he mentions that to be in all fairness actually wanted that he highlights the records show that muawiyah wanted a peaceful treaty and he did not want the that particular island to be
it was off one of the the kind of greek islands to be uh conquered by force and maui actually sent a he sent an envoy and he asked for there to be a peace treaty and that they would uh they can keep their things and keep their kind of whatever it is and have a basically like a vassalage but how those people um underestimated the envoy and then eventually how they even kill so many of those people and torture them and and then he says that muawiyah then retaliates
and makes an example out of them but he does show that how muawiyah initially wanted to demonstrate how muslims are actually very compassionate and merciful and i found that very interesting that he highlighted that and he says that he actually made quite a few attempts to say look let's do this very peacefully you can keep all of this you can do this we can have that and how they completely underestimated and undermined and just thought nothing of the muslim forces and the muslim presence in the middle east until then eventually maui landed
and when he did he he did make an example of them but it's that's one thing but other things he cites as well how the how islam spreads beyond into uh you know those territories that are beyond modern-day iran and into more central asia and how that influences islam i i overall found it to be very interesting i found it to be i found him to have been well researched informative i learned many things um interesting archaeological aspects he
cites things about coinage and other um other things of rituals and customs and i'm not saying always he has to be on point he would have his take at the end of the day it's interesting when he towards the end of his book he explains this um this enigmatic phenomenon of how islam proliferates throughout the middle east through conquest so suddenly and he explains that and it's really fascinating first of all he goes through how were
were the ruling arabs trying to prevent uh non-arabs from becoming significant within society and he explains that although that may have been the case with some people that islam was so because islam was so easy to embrace and it was kind of welcoming for all and it was familiar to many especially the middle east because they were already familiar with christianity and judaism so islam was kind of like a
a cousin so it's not too close but not too far away it's something you can see similarities so when these non-muslims when these non-arabs or whether they were captives or free people embraced islam it became very difficult to stop them from becoming intrinsic parts of the muslim society because he mentions even with the slaves and the women for example bringing them in that when soulmate because the arabs were not
actually that large in number so when they bring in all these other people that that have been sometimes brought back they've because he explains how some muslim rulers would relocate people to kind of prevent this insurgency and when you do things like that an intermarriage this was something and even with slave captives like women having children with them it was it was unstoppable that islam that that these people would not become important people within islam
you couldn't stop it because it was too easy to embrace you didn't need to go to a clergy you didn't need to do something and and most of the captives and the this if you want to call them subjects they learned arabic and when they learned arabic and took arabic names it became difficult distinguishing between who is now the original people and who are these migrants it became difficult um or theologically migrants you know theological migrants so yeah and and i thought that was very
fascinating the way he explains that and how um these people that became muslim the other thing is you see with captives he explains how they found that within islam them owning islam themselves they had free reign to do so like nobody could actually were nobody could actually tell them that no what do you mean like let's say in hinduism there is the caste system it's only for the brahmins it's only for a certain clergy
these slaves that became freed slaves they once they embraced islam they could not only learn about it but by learning about islam they could become an authority on islam all of a sudden you've got a second-class citizen let's say who is now an authority that everybody goes to and this thereby reinventing for themselves a new class system whereby the mawali these these kind of offspring of slaves become
this upper class this kind of dignitary class people hence all the in the tabernae most of these great scholars were all were all non-arab offspring and they were offspring often of captives you know said you're going to get people ibrahim and you're going to get uh bowls you're going to get all these kind of uh great
all these great great scholars that emerge at that time are all in essence they're all offsprings of non-arabs and that two of often people who were just captives i found that very interesting and also his point on this phenomenon of how islam spread so quickly he says that he doesn't take the the argument uh that islam because many historians and i feel that is true that islam with it brought a zeal and that zeal was unmatchable and it just
really enthused the people to march forward and to do things and hence islam just like like wildfire spread because other conquests throughout human history have never been as successful in such a short span that have then sustained you see sometimes you got really fast rapid expansions but they as rapidly as they expanded withdrew or they took so long like the roman empire or they did or you got you got the mongols but then they withdrew as an example but the way
or even colonialism but the way islam expanded and was embraced this is has been an enigma and a puzzle for historians he explains that he doesn't take the hoiland he says he doesn't take the zeal aspect but he feels that islam had what it had the x factor was its integrative aspect that islam had a capacity to integrate whatever it wherever it went to and this capacity is what other religions didn't have
and this is what explains the proliferation of islam i feel that too is uh a key aspect i i do accept that point as well checking some of the the comments people please be mindful in your comments do not um easy you do in it you do and it much love for the super chat and do not spam in the comments please right so let me just see somebody said did you miss a right i don't think i missed a
super chat right let's speaking of the sharia now this is an interesting point i want to share um you see to many people we have been left with a slogan the sharia but they don't fully understand what that means yes they know it is a regulatory system it is a system of rules regulations of principles of things like this to live by
that they understand what are these rules very few people can name them except a small amount like what are popularized about chopping the hand of the thief and so on the other key problem in this discussion or discourse of sharia is people misunderstand what is the basis of the sharia so we know that the sharia comes to us through the quran
through the sunnah and what is extracted and extrapolated from them i accept that that's not what i mean the horizontal the actual objectives of the sharia the the what it's trying to achieve is that it is providing a society with a remedy with a social remedy to their problems but where is it bringing
these rulings from so here is the misunderstanding people feel that the rulings it's bringing are somehow otherworldly they are they have been brought in from out of this cosmos as divine out of time rulings that were unheard of before islam mentioned them so it's like as an example imagine you
went to seventh century arabia and you started speaking about cryptocurrency nobody's heard of it people would not even have imagined it so you start explaining now this cryptocurrency i want to introduce i mean obviously you can't interview but you want but you'd like to introduce let's say you'd like to introduce cryptocurrency or you're trying to explain the stock market you're introducing the stock market to 7th century arabia now that's something they've never heard of the world has not heard of
and it's otherworldly to them fair enough this is what people think the sharia was and the truth is it's nothing like that and i have a video as well already explaining the kinsuki hypotheses that just as you have this uh japanese art this beautiful art where they will have broken pottery broken bowls and broken things that are then rejoined together using a kind of decorative seal often golden or things like this
which not only fix the bowl or that pottery but they do so in a way to make it look much more beautiful than it was to begin with and that is what i've said the sharia was and is it is the kinsuki hypothesis of although that's from the japanese wabi-sabi but this is what what was happening the quran the sunnah was giving to the people pro solutions social remedies
from their societies it was taking their things their rulings and it was telling them it was just placing parameters on them so they don't transgress now i want to recite an example to show sometimes what we picture of the sharia is completely not what the sharia may be so people have and often this dogmatist view as presented by salafis and wahhabis and and people you know pseudo wahhabis as well people like diobandis or these people who are not technically wahhabi but they you know
have an alter ego that is kind of like they they think they confused they they think they were hobbies sometimes this kind of dogmatic mind frame and other people have it as well now so some braveries have it and other people now they have this understanding this is how it is this is the sharia this and sometimes people will say oh how does muftiya bulay say oh my god he makes things halal oh my god [Music] [Laughter] so let's take a look at some rulings people
sharia and as always as always let's refer to the books of sunnah so this is this is a commentary on abu dhabi but this is taken from abu dhabi a major book of sunnah within the um six major texts within sunni sources of law so you have here there is a hadith this is under the bab
this comes under the chapter of talaq by the way but it's under the bab now i'm not going to finish the chapter heading yet i'm going to build a little suspense let me give you a scenario people give you a scenario there is a situation where a woman a muslim woman muslim woman has had sex
nothing i mean that's normal with three men muslim muslim muslim men in one menstrual cycle so within a couple of weeks so within let's say three weeks two to three weeks she's slept with three men three now she has a child so the three men muslim they say that's my son that's my i mean to be
faith not specific whether it's a son but it's a child so they say that's my child so this guy says that's my child that guy says he's that guy says it is the woman is she's confused as well she's like
this this one this one is wrong so she she's also confused that who does it belong to so the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam has sent said he's the now how does satan ali deal with this matter i want you to take a look at this now what do you think according to the dogmatists
what ought to be happening first of all she ought to be stoned she ought to be killed then the men ought to be either killed or flogged surely surely this one
there ought to be something but what is it that happens so here is a hadith if they disagree regarding the child we've disagreed regarding the child what should we do so they didn't transmits this hadith i was sitting by the prophets
a yemeni man came he said three people in africa he said and this by the way satan ali is sent during the last years of the prophet's life to yemen um he's sent there as an ambassador and so on he deals with their fears so and he collects taxes and things like that he says that they came to ali disagreeing disputing regarding a child
and they all had intercourse with with the same woman during one menstrual purity cycle so basically she couldn't tell uh who got her pregnant so he says said ali says to two of them how about would you let that you know would you two let him have it and they say no hell no then he says to the other two would you let him no no no then he says to these two would you let him no no so basically none of them are settling to have the child sorry to give up the child then what does he say he says antum
shurakam basically you all have a dispute it's like you've all got to claim so how are we going to settle this i'm going to do a lottery huh huh huh a lottery in nottingham lottery isn't lottery haram
[Music] and that's how we settle the judgment how did the prophet sallam react did he say this is haram lotteries kuffar is haram is from this is from that how did the prophet respond
rasulullah the prophet laughed so loud that you could see hatha but [Music] you could see his molar kind of teeth at the back so but is this ruling ah but the scholars didn't exist scholars don't accept any scholars don't accept any scholars ah well what is your cha-cha is
the contemporary of imam shafi who had his own method and the contemporary of imam ahmadis who has his own madhhab in the what does he say he says this is not only do i accept this he says to do lottery to do a lottery to determine who gets the child is the sunnah it is the sun [Music]
to do lottery but here i've read it from abu dhabi let's not stop there let's bring the dada in
some interesting books regarding divorce and why does he bring this up because he's speaking about if a person there was an issue where a person divorced one of his wives but he wasn't sure who he divorced i i a muslim world problems yeah what's your problem what's going on you look a bit down yeah i divorced one of my wives i'm just not sure which one it was
so the solution so the solution is uh that you do a lottery and you determine so so under this discussion ibn then brings this whole thing so he brings it under the section this is on page 522 of this we the fossil uh feman
about divorcing one of his wives and not being sure and then he speaks about this matter and what the humblings have said and which side he goes with and but then he goes on to speak about lottery he says and as to determining things through lottery he says then we have mentioned min usually that he says we have mentioned from the principles of how this is legislated within the sharia maya
how this is in certain cases the most deserving outcome in matters that you judge by lottery he then goes on to say there is a hadith in bukhari he mentions there is a hadith in bukhari where the prophet sallam uses lottery to determine the outcome he says in the sunan there is a hadith in the muslin of ahmed there is a hadith by abu hurairah that two men came and they were claiming both arguing over a particular animal that he's saying it belongs to me saying it belongs to me and
and then the prophet sallam says that okay because he couldn't be sure he he did a lottery between them okay he then says that there is a hadith that the prophet that you can make people take an oath but if they both dislike to take an oath should we force them say by allies as if they disliked or check this out people for intelligence
or if they both were too eager to take why are you so eager to take an oath hmm she becomes suspect in that case folies let them do a lottery over the outcome allah allah then there is a hadith
in the sunan by um this is who this is this is him bringing in his book but that'll fight not me not me not the maliki's when i say the maliki say that the sharia accommodates with this and it does that and this acid they go [Music] this on [Laughter]
right who to them is just a tarja beneath even the tamiya so you've got the prophet you've got ibn taymiyyah then you've got ibrahim so he says and i do like him don't get me wrong obviously i don't worship him like that they do but i i do like him so he says in this next hadith from um that two people came arguing over what over inheritance inheritance where allah says that allah have been laid out they've been arguing over inheritance
and he says that because they'd lost the evidence of who it belonged to so the prophet said to them because you can't bring a beginner who this who was the rightful inheritor amongst those two people he says and he does the prophet does warn them that look if you're going to bring a false thing then you will be liable on the day of judgment and it is unlawful for you to take it but how does it end
he says the prophet said that he says that you go you do this division if you can and then he mentions that you do a lottery over it and whoever wins it he then has to um the other person has to kind of forego his claim okay fulfill his claim then he goes on to mention saad in yom al-qaeda between the people who gives adhan use the lottery
then he says you can use the lottery in the sharia has been used over who gets guardianship of the child is it the mother of the father there's been lottery phil he says now and he goes on to say people even did it over inheritance to do with wives to do with this to do with that
this is the lottery people the lottery so next time when people say the lottery is such a bad thing and i'm not trying to say people should be going playing the lottery but i had said in the past in some rulings that look this minor lottery that people play a pound here there i don't encourage it but it's not haram and people oh my god gambling gambling lottery is haram even if you it's for sadaqah this is what people say
[Laughter] he's saying that it is from the principles of the sharia to use lottery [Music] it's a very fascinating book by the way the same you know there's a since we're on this book i i don't like but since people say oh this mufti abu leith why does he discuss things huh why does he discuss certain matters
he has a whole section dedicated to you can't see this reversed that is a whole section dedicated to it what's he saying what do some of the humbles is bringing their opinions saying
some of our companions the humbles have said that a woman if she was had a lot of desire and she couldn't fulfill it sexually she can take this particular apparatus i've got this apparatus
what next what next check what next he says so okay it's something you make out of leather um okay let's make it out of leather but what what shape should we give it or
she could use something similar like a cucumber cucumbers himself says he doesn't like that opinion but he says this is a valid opinion of uh many of the hamballis and he is bringing it promotes
[Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] it's as cool as a cucumber that book
right so where does that leave the rest of us uh after people are just used to cucumbers [Laughter] where is it gonna go where are the men gonna go yeah so that's uh the jar with a small d all we can say we need the giants no problem but there is one dajjal with the big d okay [Music] so people let's take a few of your
questions then we'll move on to the the discussion that is yet pending pagan gate somebody said she was what super chatting if i missed some super chats let me just take a look nope i can't see any super chats i've missed you're doing it people you're doing it uh so but that i reason i mentioned that is because that's to present to ourselves you see this is the reason they don't discuss with me you know a lot of these people will talk about me but they'll never talk with me
because the problem is [Laughter] this book very dee you know i have access to the books and i've read more than them combined and i don't know why i end up finding these kind of rulings i don't know they just you know it's like i don't know it just gravitates towards me it's like the universe giving me these things i'm like yeah like
still the universe just gives me it must be a sign [Laughter] so i'm always more than happy to discuss these things with any person who wants to challenge them who thinks they have a better understanding of the sharia labels so if any person wants to discuss them we can discuss them so let's take a few
all right was using cucumbers but then dawa man quotes ibn kayem as saying see this one this one are nice him saying that according to him the a particular sexual position the um where the woman is on top eventually leads to homosexuality don't know how that logic works unless unless accidentally one day some you know somebody else is on top and you're like yeah where you come from you know this one
i don't know how that accidentally that's like this like wait wait a minute did i just miss an entire season here like what how did that accidentally lead to that it's like one day she said oh he said let's let's do this um okay five minutes later it's like a gay orgy going on it's like
if we film it is this the same [Laughter] anyway we'll speak about our mind in just a moment let's take some questions let's move on all right now just as a quick side note you know the whole thing on gambling i am i gambling is haram but i've mentioned that is gambling generally because gambling is highly addictive and it destroys lives and it destroys families it destroys homes and i do condem gambling and i advise people to kind of
get help to to cure that but things like scratch cards or lottery or person playing a pound here or there or you know they're at some machines and they put in a these things do not really fall under that form of gambling although yes in essence it's a gamble two of a pound or a two or things like this but they are not haram they may one may say it's not a good thing to do but it's not haram that's that's what that ruling is but yeah many things can destroy families as uh in the comments it says cucumbers can destroy
i'm sure they definitely can [Laughter] it won't be as easy maybe getting a replacement it's like so people let's take a few questions what about the facebook let me take a look here as well hardin brisby must be enjoying it adam rizvi
addison ray is the only reason why tick tock is still alive i don't know who addison ray is i'll have to find out hmm right thoughts on the matasila yeah i've explained that the matazila were an ancient sect they don't really exist they haven't existed for something like six seven hundred years if not more they've been non-existent they were an extremist sect that were a kind of contradiction in the sense that they had highly extremist factors about them they were very
political they were about insurgencies against the state they also excommunicated muslims that committed any sins they considered them to be not kafir but no longer muslim but then they also had a very rational side to them as well so what happens later people like ibn samir who uh is obsessed with groups like the mata with all sects he's obsessed what they would do is when they dislike a person who's using reason against them
they would say ah you're using reason ah so you're silly then and you're like uh no i'm not but they're awesome you're mata yeah you're like no definitely not also then you're definitely yeah if if you're more silly you're going to deny are you or do not [Laughter] you're like what is this invest investigative method [Laughter] you're like trying to so the selfies today and unfortunately other muslims as well
through that discourse have inherited that so they feel as well that oh when people use their reason and you can't answer them oh this is an answer then let's call them mata zilli like but but i'm not silly and they're like ah ah so you are you're like i'm not ah then you definitely are wait a minute do you feel that things should make sense until like uh yeah do you feel that things should be based on
reason as in they you know they should in essence make sense with the world how you observe it and how things they fit in mentally do you do you feel that do you you feel that and you'll be like should should things be logical you're like but i don't get it do you think we should use our intellect
like should we use our like [Laughter] this one this one this one borderline cafe this is literally what the discussion has become so it's just silly because what happens is these people will then say like i will say oh when i discuss my point and i say well this is based on reason they'll say sayo matazili and you'll be like uh no definitely it's like
but i'm not you know we answered all the material boy we annihilated you guys centuries ago centuries ago it's decimated you guys you're like oh okay why am i being forced to take that position yeah so that's the thing are
not because they use their brains that's dumb obviously that's like saying haha you use your eyes do you use your eyes [Laughter] you've got eyes you do you use them deviant deviant what you use your ears use your ears use your brain you use your intellect oh you you want things to be logical this one's dumb you can clearly see the people who came up with this logic are totally dumb that's like a bunch of i don't know like rural bedouins who must be so
dumb that when an intelligent guy came to them they must have been like hahaha he's educated educated educated dumb dumb and it's like it this is like an inside inside joke amongst dumb people that they just uses his brain
honestly you just don't know what to you're like i don't i don't get why why am i being insulted for using my intellect like that that's like that's like never happened in human history like people have been insulted for not using the intellect but for using it you're being insulted okay and you don't even know how to come back what's a comeback for that ah right okay let's move on people
right right right so hmm nighttime skincare is the best way to relax at the end of the day don't know what that is but i'll look into it [Laughter] right so what is going on
what is the difference debate dawah man please i would love to have darwin on if he wants to come on a a mine trap that would be excellent i'll bring him on mine i think these people don't want to really maybe they don't want to popularize me or they don't want to talk about me because it will give more clout right actually speaking of that let's speaking of dawa man right i somebody sent me a clip uh this this weekend gone and it was to do with a podcast that dawaman has
and it's called chai with my right and it's a group of guys having a chat so they told me go to this point and speaking about imitating kuffar and they're speaking about having the fade cut and so one of the guys i don't know what his name is uh somalilad he speaks about me indirectly without mentioning my name he says well you know you get some people who claim they're knowledgeable but yet they'll wear a chain and they'll have this kind of fade haircut and so on and
um and then that man doesn't engage my name or me but he just goes back to the topic i find that first of all i do find it very intriguing why the woman does that and i think it's maybe because he doesn't want to uh give me any kind of like clout or anything he doesn't want maybe to attract more people towards me maybe unless it's he deep down has a a liking for me that that would be interesting that would be an interesting twist plot twist right but i think it's because he doesn't want
uh to kind of make me popular if that's the case um so they end up talking about this that oh you're not you're not allowed to imitate the kuffar and dawah man gives his interpretation saying okay the puzzle the haram haircut is the one where you have a zero blade but if you have a 0.5 that's not haram
so having a zero blade is haram so immediately you think what about hajj [Music] but i mean he doesn't answer that question but he gives it in his way that having a zero blade on some parts is haram but on some parts like if you have it all over it's not haram if you have it in some parts then then you're going to hell
so let me get this right so god says that when you do hajj that those people uh that are wants to complete the hajj you must do this zero blade all over okay or you can trim omo kasirin or you can trim your hair okay fair enough tikka so shaving the head can't be haram no no in fact it's haram or it's you know not to do or if you don't trim at least after the hajj so in some cases
it's mandated with a substitute okay um point point is it okay to grow your hair yeah it's okay to grow your hair can when you grow your hair can you have a hairstyle of course of course of course of course you can have hairstyle okay it's natural when you have when you grow your hair your hair won't be the same length that's natural because obviously the hair growing here is not going to be the same length as the hair growing here on the sideburns or the same as the so the prophet had long here now to have long hair
what you're going to do is you're going to have the hair from the front longer so it has to because otherwise you can't really tie it if this here is so the prophet would tie is here as well as with the companions would actually braid some of the ears and they would have things like ponytails and stuff like that now to do that you'll hear from here has to be longer than the hair from here it has to be otherwise it won't yeah but that's fine that's fine okay so having it equal no no you don't have to have equal length okay okay what about if i grow my hair but i shave up to here
throw in hell throw him in this won't help him [Laughter] so you're like yeah what i'm trying to understand this god that you're painting a picture of that you know the same god who's created this magnificent cosmos he is saying that if you trim your hair it's not haram if you trim it like you've shaved it 0.5 it's not haram if you go that 0.5 lower it is haram and you're going to go to
hell unless i change my mind unless it's for hajj then you better trim it [Laughter] but then you better do it all over and you're like why is this god so obsessed with my hair okay why seriously why is god so obsessed over people's hair that you know or him was harami bhagavatam grab that harami at the back there who's got his sideburns shaved right down they're like you thought we couldn't
tell that that's not a 0.5 that's a knot throw him in the bottom pits of help in the bottom pits of hell this is how dumb these people have made this religion honestly i find this so absurd like i can't believe that people actually you know this is what people worship god through this kind of reasoning to me that is like god in the in this what they're illustrating it's like somebody you know they infantilize god that he's some kind of like a
like a four-year-old who throws a tantrum and he's like always angry and he's just angry he doesn't know why he's angry he's just angry he's like oh you got this haircut burn him like but why he like oh burn him yeah but why aren't you burning him he's like well he did a 0.5 you did a naught he's like why aren't you burning him yeah he did a naught because i told him to do a knot because it was hajj he had to do a knot but why are you burning that one yeah because he did the hajj and he didn't do a knot so we're gonna burn him and we're gonna burn you
so this kind of uh a an image of god i just don't i don't get like how do these people manage to pull this off but yeah so anyway speaking of dhawa man i have to say though you know i i have to say i watched dawa man's some of his clip because i watched one then youtube mentioned you know recommended a few so i went through some of them and i have to say you know i am impressed with our man's marketing oh this one
i i'm serious you know dawa man i think he's definitely much more intelligent than he appears when it comes to marketing his kind of videos and the way he markets them they're really like they're intelligently done for that crowd for what he's trying to do like i watched one came up called something like chilling with the mandam and it's it's basically a bunch of people just all speaking mandamen the mandom say this
but the funny thing is everybody in the clip is speaking like that oh i mean i could understand if one or two guys respect but everybody the camera goes past is speaking like that and you're thinking do these guys all just speak like that
it's like my thing and it bro when it could see now bro but anyway so but i i was more interested in like i watched it and i thought you know what i have to rate him for his production and you know the kind of the thinking behind how he's structuring it for that crowd because he's bringing in an audience that he is obviously marketing to and he and in that thing he sells his umrah then he says see you want to be part of this mandam then you need to come on umrah for with us and blah blah blah and i don't know
whether he does it to raise money but he may already be very i've heard he's already financially very stable through his family but still the marketing strategy i i was impressed i have to say i like i like the techniques he was doing you know that even where he had this clip where he had it in neon writing behind him and i thought that this this guy's quite hip with his marketing [Laughter] it's just the religion that he's totally skewed in but yeah yeah big up the mandom and the mundum and [Music] [Laughter]
so right so yeah yeah it's been incorporated into no it's not yeah i know it's not you know it's not the slang that i make that i was so surprised by it was just that the video goes through a bunch of people sitting down they're just having casual conversations but i was just kind of like whoa that every single person was speaking like that like i didn't i expected some people but i expected most to just speak normally but every single person amongst themselves was like that which was quite funny to watch they're all like that like they go to this pier and they're doing the same thing you go to this p and they're doing the same
amanda so i just found that a bit funny but yeah anyway my point there was actually to rate his marketing i thought you know what he's got he's got some brains behind him but unfortunately he just doesn't use them in religion or maybe he does use them and this is purposely doing what he does that brings us on people from speaking of power man to our remember man's islam we can't say his absence you can't say he's a catholic one thing that's for certain for certain is that the guy is a facet were there drinking like we had footage of them drinking alcohol would we accept that no right and this
is [Â __Â ] this is much worse than that no this is worse than that this is worse so he's so so and that's and that's i think that wallahi i have no doubt in my mind now even his studio here i got to say i like it you know i like the way he used to be um the guy is a fan designing the neon light maybe he's not a catholic but he's definitely and is a fast fit to be an imam is he fit to be a person you take your knowledge this is the tag team that is forming tag team for me some people might feel uncomfortable that i've said that well like they might really feel uncomfortable that iran you can't say that what do you mean that guy is letting people like if he is you would call you would think
he's a faster if he allowed people to drink alcohol smoke we'd stab each other kill each other rape each other and not do anything and stand by and watch he'd allowed [Â __Â ] to take place and then he participated in a shitty ritual and then he says what it's a lapse and you're telling me he's not a facet your life this and fujor is this he doesn't go below that so to have a man like well it's problematic so that what you saw there was a um an interview between a tag teaming effort between sorry that's we're gonna come to that in just a moment
uh a tag team effort between dawah man and danny boy so what is this all about people well you've gathered it there you've understood this is about omar suleiman so here he is at a protest this whole fiasco that you're seeing ladies and gentlemen is what we can term pagan gate okay so why because what's happening is omar suleiman has been accused
by danny y to that he has participated in pagan rituals how can he be an imam so this is the whole thing and let's take a look at some of the things that have been highlighted now danny boy has been going at omar suleiman for quite a while now and recently i think he's actually starting to get through to him because um started reacting and we're going to see here
that let's take a look at some of the pictures of the event you've got here um this will be uh highlighted his whole this was one of the things there was something about an annoyment anointment that we can see right here right there is some of the that's the care director who said i don't know who he is but hussein who is being anointed uh he will speak of something called the libation what is the libation it is a ritual of pouring a liquid such as wine
milk water etc that in as an offering to a deity or a spirit and what danny boy will highlight is this itinerary that um knew exactly according to the itinerary of the protest what was to happen and where it was to take place so pause that let's zoom out what's happened there's been beef going on people masala segment between omar suleiman
between daniel hakatu it's been going on for a while it's been simmering boiling up and now danny boy has finally got some some masala to put out there and it's to do with a protest that um solemn went to in this protest it was led by a lot of um it seemed to be a very religious uh undertone to the whole protest it was led by gay priestesses and there was a lot of ritualization right through it and it's the whole thing culminates it ends with this ritual of the libation pouring this water as some kind of
sacred ritual for the i think it's the mexicans or the people across the border that are asylum seekers and being denied safe refuge what is all of this what is going on people we need to take a look at it let's break it down all right so what we have in essence this is no sure this is nothing less than house of cards honestly i'm just being real yeah that people can say what they like but
everybody's playing the game now some people are playing it better than others true unquestionably but they are all playing the game you've got um two i feel that he you know to me um i like a lot of the stuff he does i love the social justice work and stuff like this but i'm just going to be real with you yeah the truth is this is ultimately a power game yeah i and look suleiman is no different
to your other people playing for power i know people may not um i don't know because he's very you know but he he's he plays it well so i i like and i think there's nothing wrong in a person wanting having motivations i have motivations you have motivations every person has some people are driven by money by wealth by status by power by women by you know by other things whatever drives whatever floats your boat these imams are no different and i i can't fault them for necessarily just wanting power
or wanting status or wanting money or wanting things like this my only problem is when they super glass this whole thing in high religiosity see that is a problem and yeah and i feel that is an issue with umar suleiman as well see he does these things but then he and to me i'm not going to just fault him for these things because i know why he's doing it he's doing it for the the cloud that he's after and fair play i mean he you know he has kind of rubbed shoulders with the
president of america he's he's been with high dignitaries he has become you know such a highly rated imam within the united states so it's natural for him to do several things for pr to get up there to fight on the side of uh of people being persecuted to do certain things it serves a pr image and i'm not gonna personally knock him for that but what i will point out is when he too does all this islamic talk of why it's all you know
sake of allah and all this kind of stuff then this one not nice because the problem you see when you do all of that right then you're going to give rise to these forms of opposition that okay i am and i want to say something i want to go to a clip of
danny boy who has it gone um right so i'm going to bring up an entire clip here it is right this is danny boy explaining his beef his version so let's okay what he's got
to say and i think this is petty as hell but still let's take a look at what he has to say thank you ma'am we come here as vessels of love so this is this clip is taken from danny across our borders that we are one people one humanity here you can see omar soyman into position and this means that this was all planned in advance it wasn't something spontaneous off the top of his head where he was put on the spot no this was
coordinated in advance militarization of our borders is violence and in the cost of that violence is human lives we stand here in one of the most beautiful places on this earth to listen to the sound of god to listen to the sound of our creator singing in our hearts of the fullness of our humanity that tells us to greet one another with love and not with pilots with compassion [Music]
so this is the libation the pouring of water [Laughter] that you have a right to seek peace you have a right to seek asylum yes you have a right to not be teargassed you have the right to be
honored and dignified i'm having trouble expressing my anger and disgust at this i mean a prominent imam participating in a pagan ritual like it just boggles my mind that any muslim would take their deen from someone like this and let's not forget that this happened in front of
hundreds of people and this was the main deal this was the main show to bless the migrants to bless the migrants this ritual was the whole purpose the culmination of this sunnah protest and there is an imam supposedly representing muslims who is there up front engaging in outright kuffer after i made my initial post with the pictures omar sullivan actually responded and he included a comment on his page where he says it's interesting i did not participate
in any collecting ritual as muslims it's not permissible to worship in the rituals of other religions is this not deception is this not playing with words i didn't participate in any anointing ritual i did participate in a water ritual though and make sure you remember this comment just in case once this video comes out omar soleiman tries to justify his participation in the water ritual because if participating in the water ritual is okay why wouldn't it be okay to participate in the
oil anointing ritual but he doesn't defend the oil ritual and he says participating in rituals like this is haram and he's also understating that it's not permissible to worship in the rituals of other religions not only is it impermissible it is actually kuffer now if a jai hill wants to come and argue that this is not kufar because we don't know the intentions of omar and what's in his heart i'll say this his intentions are irrelevant the action itself of pouring libations is a ritual of shirk it is a pagan
koffer ritual right now so so this has been the event folks and what's happened is everybody has jumped out you know um on his side he's got all the the big boys amongst them you've got yes who's jumped out he said look anybody accusing him of this is just a jahil in islam he's just a jahil you've got in the uk abu
[Laughter] jumping out saying you know this guy's a jahil this guy is at this you know ha ha you know how can people take him seriously how can they do this uh and you've got a few others that they've had jump out obviously jonathan brown previously the other european people now you've got all of this going on yeah yeah the uh danny boy
he decides to come out as well you've got all these people who by the way are all still one group they're all a bunch of friends and all part of the maghrib institute now i want to bring something to your attention you see what i'd like to highlight is that danny boy is in my understanding more often than not a nutcase yeah he is somebody who i i don't know why people take him seriously the way they take him that's that's my understanding
but but but he is the product of those people he is what um have created who was danny boy nobody had heard of daniel hackley right let's take a look at his this is his own profile for you know his his website muslim [Â __Â ]
sorry i mean muslim skeptic right the muslim skeptic he highlights how he for many years was a key he had a key role he was playing as he as he mentions here that he's lectured he's been to many places he's held these prominent positions with who with aliyah let's not forget that i want us to take a look at this this is fascinating that this is daniel hakrikaju for many years people for at least three four years he was promoted
promoted by these very same people who put him as a great sheikh great usted great representation of islam yes look this is a comment by yasir khadi about him yasir khadi this is danny why on his own post saying look look what ya says about me that he says there's been a lot of discussion in the muslim community blah blah blah blah about legalization of same-sex marriages and here is a person who he feels is his contemporary uh philosophically trained he's a
harvard graduate he's studying the classic islamic sciences uh you know he really tackles this topic so profoundly this guy's so amazing when danny why was out there saying anything auntie left anti-liberal auntie who was worshiping him semi-worshipping him
promoting his thing promoting you know big d you've got all of these people omar suleiman giving paying him he had paid him for years you know this argument this argument right that this argument that they did not know is utter utter
[Laughter] utter bs because look it happens to everyone it happens to everyone that you meet someone you you're not informed or you don't know somebody well somebody tells you they're a great person so you say some nice words about him turns out years later that they are a [Â __Â ] happens with everyone there's nothing new about that that is not the case with danny boy because danny boy worked closely with these people for years
he and these people are one click you know they're not this al-maghrib that hosts courses and for years on end it raked in what would be millions of dollars by creating this kind of like neo-wahabite kind of clout for muslims because all of these people are the same background they are not wahhabis in that hardline wahhabi but they're like neo wahhabis which are like semi but they kind of relax certain things so that is what al-maghrib was brings out these flashy courses and fair enough you know i'm not but i'm just being honest this is what it was
and you've got these people backed danny boy they thought he was their response to you know this well-spoken guy from harvard who is going to destroy the left they paid him they hired him for years he worked closely with them every time he wrote an article they promoted him during 2015 2016 i think up until 2017 he would say stuff like this would he would make these kind of uh if i find he would have these kind of profiles on uh where he's speaking about morality
where he's dissing the whole body would once again support him you uh all the al-maghrib would support him now this is the problem you see now if now take a look at this these are his posts from 2015. what did the sexist misogynistic transgender man say to a psychologist i just feel inferior but i'm just saying look fine i'm all up for humor but at this time
who made danny boy popular who gave him the clout who gave him that platform it was none other than omar soleiman then yes then uh you know these very same people are the people that brought him he is their frankenstein and he has now come back to haunt them so i want to say when they now you know when people like yes
all of a sudden now have gained vision and now they call him a jahil now uh omar suleiman can see he's a jahil now jonathan brown can call him a jahil three years ago four years ago when you all had lifted his his butt up in the air and you're parading him off paying him to say this kind of nonsense just because he was attacking other people you were all really good with it you know it's like it's all good but then you know all of a sudden it's like um
hamari cat humpy attack you know that's the all of a sudden it so at one point he's the the you know the sun shining out of his rear end is somebody philosophically trained and then all of a sudden when he knows some when he starts turning on them
so i would say that look this whole thing you know you can't have it both ways you guys create a monster and then you are happy for this monster to attack other people now this guy seems heavily i don't know he seems autistic now he seems to be just hinged on you guys [Laughter] well there's one bite you know this one so he's now coming he's not letting them go boy this is hilarious honestly and it's ultimately on honestly i hate to break it to some
of the people but look some are better than others but everybody it is all a facade you know in the words of the poet it is nothing but a perpetual deception that i've seen this life and world from up close that is all it is even with these scholars with all of these people and you know what my analysis on this you see personally what is my understanding
i would say now personally me i this is just me i would i'm not down with superstitious rituals i'm my whole thing of the voice of reason is that i i'm not into hocus pocus i would personally not partake generally in like weird hocus-pocus rituals because to me that undermines my message of the voice of reason because i see that ultimately as just superstition so i don't if it's somebody like me i would i wouldn't go to these kind of protests that are just all about like everything is ritualized it's all about you know we're gonna do
some like if people say like if people said to me let's go to a protest and the protest is about asylum seekers tk if you're gonna go go but if they say okay we're gonna go to a particular protest where we can all get together sing kumbaya army lord and we're gonna you know uh we're gonna say hari krishna three times then we're gonna go around ringing bells and then we're gonna do this kind of special rain dance and then i i find that stuff dumb i'm gonna be honest with you i find it stupid i find it dumb i don't know what the purpose is what what are you trying to achieve with this kind of stuff if you're there for a protest then do a protest
you know if you're there to do some kind of look i've got no problem people doing their own worship but you know why are you conflating these matters i don't see them as like this is not a sacred uh pilgrimage you're going on you're just going to protest at the border so if you said we're going to go to the border and stick up white flags this is an international understanding for we want peace you know we're going to go there and people are going to tie themselves in chains to show do you get you know fine you know as bueno that's good you know you go there you do that but if people say oh we're going to go to a place and we're going to all wear these strange hats and we're going to dance around the fire and we're going
to do stuff [Laughter] why don't you just go to that then because i don't see and then i'm just being honest i'm giving you my two pence like i don't see what these two have to do with each other one is to do with some kind of like a hippie ritual which fine people can do it but one is a protest for people's human rights so but i get why um you know and this is where um drops himself in it you see because he does these things for the clout and i get that but then you see that post he made
see that post was wrong like he shouldn't in his post try and be about halal haram he says oh by the way these rituals are haram and kufar for us to do them in islam like i wouldn't say that i would say look if a person did some rituals it would be it depends on his intention if he's worshiping that god and doing it like that it is if he's doing it for some other intention it's his or her intention like if you if you ask me if i wh when i was a teacher uh at a secondary school we arranged religious site visits so okay so we would go to a masjid or an islamic center
would take the kids as because when i taught religious studies would take him to a church would take him to a gurdwara now when you take him to a gurdwara you would have certain rituals that the gurdwara want you to do so for example when you go in you must cover your head you must take your shoes off take care i did that we will do that when you go in they tell you sit here this is what the experience is why are you there you're there to experience what these people do that is the whole purpose of your visit it is to experience what these rituals are they will be reading from the guru granth sahib all the students will sit down you'll sit down they'll offer you prasad and they will be offended if you did not
eat their prasad if you took it that is and you didn't if you threw it away it would be an offense but this is the prasad they have do i feel it's haram to have that prasad no because you are there your objective for going there is to experience what these people do like we want to have a world where people know what other communities do they come to a mosque they see muslims praying this is what okay they sit quietly they take their shoes off they might cover up they might even imitate an uh a wudu that is part of the experience it is not haram it is not shirk this is just your experience you're not worshiping a
particular god you're just the experience okay is this what they do okay they sit here okay they try this okay they go to the longer they have food but you see um here saying oh if we did that that would be haram and we don't do we don't allow these things in islam but then you see by laying that high lofty islamic card you yourself will trip up because now you're going to be caught out and saying well um you know but here you are doing a ritual so whereas if you're going on a protest the objective is not to go do experience rituals the pro the
objective is to protest so why don't you just go to a protest you know you don't need to do a kumbayami load kind of like a so i find that incredibly confusing once again to me it's not that these things are haram i personally i would never attend that kind of stuff because i i find superstitions just dumb of themselves i i'm not you know it undermines my whole message for the voice of reason but i would say to people if they want to experience what other religions they want to learn about other religions then by all means you can go there you can see you can take they'll undertake those rituals at that location
to see what it is so if you go in they say take your shoes off you can take your shoes off cover your head you can have the food see oh is this what they do this is not it doesn't take you outside of islam and i would never preach that that oh my god this is kufa this is haram but we generally that that's not how worship is done in islam of course and every person who does that knows that's not islam so this was my kind of analysis on all of these i see that danny boy is obsessed but he is the very frankenstein that they created and now they stuck
with him and then you see they bigged him up whilst he was dissing uh feminists and he was dissing uh leftists and he was dissing he was all awesome for them you know he was number one he was a great studying islamic sciences a man of great understanding you know nobody had a problem with him then abu isa never spoke about him then yasir adi spoke about him positively then maghrib supported and endorsed him then uh omar suleiman for years paid his salary then and then all of a sudden when he starts speaking against them
it's so that's what it is people let's wrap this up i thought we've got to go over that it's been awesome we've covered a hell of a lot of things somebody said we need hamza thoughtsis we need hijab on mindtrap sure absolutely i uh i have messaged hamza thoughtsis he did say he would come on as soon as he frees up from his other stuff but cool guys don't let a french person see that i don't know what that is cool guys it's been awesome
