let's get to Daniel haqiqa Jule let's get to his post so basically people what's happened right you know I made that post today saying I'm going to be speaking about amongst the topics will include Daniel have Pikachu and women praying in the wardrobe but what I want what I told somebody to do but they couldn't do because I was kind of preoccupied was I wanted to put up some pictures of you know front of mom you

0:39

know how idea also use mom as a kind of a brand that they have so mom is my hashtag of mafia ballet Maliki al-maliki so I wanted to get some mal wardrobes from Ikea and put them up in the pictures so this is so despicable honestly honestly I find this so you know what it is it's not the okay so what's happened is here's a picture right if those of you that can see right you can probably see better they it's like inside a kind of closet you can see

1:19

some clothes hung up in the background and you can see a prayer mat on the floor now if you saw that picture on its own there'd be nothing to it however Danny Boy our Daniel haqeeqat Jim Wright you know for somebody who's quite very anti anti anti everything and anti everything Jewish conspiracy and listen it's just an interesting name that's all think of the truth I walked by the closet in my home this morning and I was

1:56

surprised I was surprised because there was a pre Model T apparently my wife Alma harlot dare I say her name due to modesty if I mentioned her name she would that would be of a loose character so we always never mention women's names right

2:24

but anyway that's his own person that's not the problem oma harlot had been praying in the closet rather this was news to me because she doesn't typically pray thee turns out she's reviving an amazing Sunnah Allah the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a woman's prayer in her room is better than her prayer in a courtyard and have prayer in her

3:01

closet is better than her prayer in her room another hadith reports that only a maid came to the Prophet she said o Messenger of Allah I like to pray with you he is reported to have said I know that you like to pray with me but your pray in your room is better than it's better for you then you'll pray in the courtyard and your pray in your courtyard is better for you then you your praying in your house and your prayer in your house is better for you then your prayer in the mosque and your

3:41

prayer in the mosque is better than you pray in my mosque so she issued orders that a prayer place be prepared for her in the furthest part and the darkest part of her house and she used to pray there until she met Allah eg died I need I need a drink right so so let's get this clear what what Daniel is saying here

4:18

what Daniel is saying is that one it is a sooner sooner a teaching of the Prophet for women to pray in closets in wardrobes and cupboards right - it is better for her to pray in a closet than to pray in the prophet's mosque so the prophet's mosque is less virtuous for her than her wonderful wardrobe of Nonya

4:58

right so this is according to start start cheerful Islam Allah metal what for people awesome Daniel hockey got you right so right so this is the the the claim that's a for women they don't need to pray in the prophet's mosque they just need to Crane wardrobes they sustain their hotel room climb into the cupboard and it should just pray there

5:32

so first of all first of all first of all apart from the fact that these hadith are ridiculously weak unacceptable absurd clash with the teaching of the prophets of the Prophet clash with the practice of the Prophet and his wives they clash with the hadith in the other books ah he Muslims I Hadi they go against the lifetime of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi Salam and the clear teachings in the Quran but do not show any of these kind of distinctions right not only that many of these

6:10

reports like I mentioned are either fabricated all week right but let's just stop there before we even get into I'd like to go over some of these reports but before we even get into that I want to mention something where did he get this term closet I want her to just pause here right the Arabic term right the Arabic term is Mazda Mazda right so him saying a woman praying in the closet right some kind of wardrobe or some kind

6:50

of cupboard right first of all just shows his level of Arabic this is the person who is is so intelligent that he thinks a Mazda is some kind of a closet that women had back then okay he is secondly then assuming this closet is part of the Sunnah teachings so let me tell you in the past the houses of the of the way people had them and they called a general house abate okay a house or a DA and that had a Hodja in it

7:29

which would usually not always but often be like a kind of front room that would be the sitting area and the kind of part of the courtyard that would kinda mix it was a private where people would often be then you had the internal part of the house which was called the bait they may have cooked here they may have kept things they may have and then they had a bedroom right now that section which was set off for the bedroom was usually called a Mazda okay oh they describe it as a bait on servive dahil elvatyl kabir like a small inner quarters within a larger

8:08

residence this was called a Mazda okay now it is not a closet that people had you could even if he said the term chambers he could have said chambers but not a closet it's not a cupboard and the reason they were dark was not because they used to darken them that i know let's climb inside the wardrobe and shut the door it's because as I shadowed the allahu anhu says in the hadith which is sorry world boots lay set Fiamma Serbia young maize that in that day and age the homes of people

8:46

didn't have lamps in them so people never had land and so naturally because this the actual sleeping quarters was right in in one corner and at a distant location it would naturally not always but often maybe dark for sleeping purposes make sense so that's the that's why it's not because they would say all you know let's all get in the dark and do things like this okay now so I just wanted to clear this up so he has no idea what a master is and this goes back to those of you by the way those of you that know the famous

9:25

you probably won't know the poem but ma salem al khattab for example in his in that famous poem where he marries that the prophetess the the famous she's also a false prophet what's her name suggest a jacket availabe yeah so it's ok those of you that don't know there was a after the prophet there was this obviously there were many false prophets that emerged during the time of a worker or the alarm on amongst the Musa Lama who's referred to as ma salem al kitab but there were other people as well and so amongst them was such a at ala BIA this

10:04

woman who emerged as a prophet she said she was a prophet and you know she had people she had a following she was from I believe the Yamamah region Yamamah not your mama but which is around the midst region of Arabia so it's always the nudge these in on a side know it's always nudged where the problems are coming from and you know this is why the Prophet said in hadith that nudged nudged will always have problems will cause problems but so she merges from that region of nudged and she had a

10:41

following so she meets up with ma salem al khattab so the the the fake I mean she was claiming to be a prophet female prophet and mercy claiming to be a prophet they met up and they have this kind of negotiation so he proposes marriage to her and before he proposes marriage she says that what is being revealed to you or something so he reads this these kind of verses about don't you see how God like God saying don't you see how we made women pregnant and how we made them so he reads a lot of verses to do with pregnancy and maybe

11:20

she was a bit broody at that because he does a lot of this and then he proposes marriage say to her that you know what how about we marry and she says well suggest a little beer says all right you know that one she was also hit in 1990 you know because he reads this poem to her when he says he says what do you say she says yes so he says all right Oh me Elaine Nicky hoo yeah alik hill mob job he says that Stan he says get ready for naughty naughty you know

11:59

that's actually the term for sex so in Arabic but not naughty naughty but his meek so he says oh me alone Nicky away I like hill mob job for in shitty fil BTW what him he felt much down and he says that you know if you want he says it's time tank um if you want in the bait which was the main property area main house area or wine shitty film and ah oh if you want in the chambers obviously wasn't saying if you want let's get in the cupboard well that

12:39

would have been an interesting take if you want in the cupboard she gained the cupboard wonderful world of gnarnia so he says wine shitty film musta wine shitty silicon a key wine shitty allah arabic wine shitty be thor Lucy what in TV ESMA it's a very naughty naughty for him of it's actually used in a lot of the Arabic books for to explain words what they actually mean believe it or not I

13:17

actually came across it probably about 19 years ago when I was memorizing the Quran to do with the verse Salah oka you know the Salak to do what is this verse what does this verb mean cilok to kind of like lay out to spread out so and part of the evidence that's many poets many linguists like Ravi Berlusconi and other people will use is this poem that weighing shitty Salah pinaki and if you want will lay you out here it gets naughty you know this one x-rated poetry

13:53

well shitty Allah Allah and he says if you want we're gonna go on all fours so that's the actual wording of the poem and then he finishes it by saying and this is the kind of poetry that people just very blase they just mention by the way so you learn all this stuff whilst you're learning Arabic looming so you're like huh and he says and if you want oh and if you talk about boasting he's like and if you want I'll only use two thirds

14:32

and if you want I'll use the whole of it and then she her famous response was actually no I'll go with the whole of it she says that was revealed to me that so that was the actual story I'm not making that up that was the story of sagittal abiy and salem al-kitab but anyway we digress as we often do right coming back from the word must now write a must that didn't mean a closet although many of these you know these strongly homophobic

15:11

people that's where they may be Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah WA anyway nevertheless right so let's take a look at what was the problem with what Daniel was quoting first of all you have to understand that there are sorry hadith many sahih hadith of women attending the prayers this sahih hadith of the Prophet saying that Salah in my Masjid in this Masjid is more virtuous than anything and Salah

15:47

anyway and then in the rewired in some rewired except in the harem except in Makkah now this this hadith completely destroys that that's to say well oh no the Prophet was saying that no not for women it isn't right so it goes against that which is Asahi ad it goes against the hadith that many women would come inside Buhari they would leave fajr salah and some of the people describing say always to see the women going and we couldn't it was still dark we couldn't even tell who was who that's when we used to pray for jo know what were those

16:25

women doing why were they evening the virtuous act why does the sahi thin side Buhari sale a time now all it might a lion masajid do not prevent women from going to the mosque and if people are gonna quote what I shadowed allahu anhu said that oh if the prophet knew what women would do today then he would have prevented them from going to the mosque look i shuttle the allahu anhum may have said something like that as a statement she didn't forcibly prevent any woman from going to the mosque she didn't and the Prophet would have had the insight if you meet

17:04

you know like some scholar Abner Haslam has a whole article has a whole section dedicated in his Mahalo to this where he point after point and goes through this and says well when you say things have gone bad how have they gone back what you mean like Xena he says are you saying Xena didn't used to happen in the time of the Prophet he says that are you saying that there wasn't you know if you're gonna say all no men might be groping women or doing are you saying this didn't happen in the time of the Prophet that there was nothing like this going on this plenty of hadith like this going on are you saying that men and women weren't having affairs in the

17:44

time the prophet of course they were they some of them even approached the Prophet are you saying they weren't hypocrites and people like that around in the time of the Prophet of course they were so even has amend several paragraphs arguing this with several points that what are you saying that wasn't there at the time of the Prophet when you're saying this now you're also walking away from many of these sahi teachings you you're in essence saying that these women had a virtue so let's say for example I could do something that's more virtuous or I could do

18:22

something that's less virtuous and those women that coming to the mosque are doing something less virtuous they're rejecting what is more virtuous and yet nobody is telling them whoa wait a minute what are you guys doing here you ought to be just that you ought to be just at home yet we see even after the Prophet during the time of Umar or the Ilan even in the time said neither the law on that they had allotted Imams they had even said as I said earlier of the long run it has Umbridge a transmission as

19:01

well that that he had set up an imam just for women in the Masjid so he says woman tariqa or fajar and I leave now batalik can yet more nutmilk emfe ramadan for usually originally a madman well let me say a moment the same Hollywood have an imam for the men and an imam for the women and average' says for amaura need for a montañesa that i used to lead the women in in in salah now there used to be a whole entrance for women in the masjid which said no more facilitated and the whole thing of

19:39

baboon Mesa what was this what were they is this just a macro I because isn't this makrooh then leaving something that is much more virtuous than praying in the prophet's mosque even according to that absurd ridiculous narration that daniel has presented prep for the woman to pray in any mosque is better than her that is closer to her home is better than for her to pray in the prophet's mosque completely devaluing the mosque of the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam typical of

20:17

these Wahhabis I'm telling you I mean I'm not saying this stereotypically like I mean I'm not I don't mean to generalize against because not all selfies will make such absurd statements about praying in closets Imam Malik said Ramallah that the masjid of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam to us as muslims is the most virtuous place on earth above the kaaba formerly keys to us Medina is above Makkah right that is how the Maliki mother has been that is our Imam Malik tortoise that is how carvaka diamond are we if not above all these people present

20:57

even my roots now some of them this is some of the Maliki's may disagree but the Maliki mad hub has always been that the masjid of the prophet sallallaahu salaam to us is more virtuous than the Kaaba and more virtuous than any place on earth as an Islamic Association why because that is where the messenger of allah salallahu alaihe salam lays now how can you say one absurd ridiculous statement to say for women any local masjid so long as it's in an alleyway close to their home is more

21:35

virtuous than the prophet's mosque for them just because the address is a bit closer to where they live this is an affront this is ridiculous right so and these narrations just two walls you know on on that these narrations that he brings even has them and these other people demonstrate these colors that these generations are actually no cool right they are right they are utterly fabricated and all extremely weak now I will and do you know something they ignore Marathi alone on this inside

22:14

Muslim if not Omar had a discussion with his son Bilal and his son said oh I'm gonna stop my wife from going to the mosque and and he said no the Prophet said you're not allowed to stop women from going to the mosque he his son said oh no I'm gonna stop her anyway he in that narration in Sahih Muslim he says he swore to his son so bad that I'd never the person says I'd never heard if normal ever sway that bad he said to him I told you that the prophet of God said something and you're telling me that you know you like oh but I'm gonna stop her

22:51

anyway right right so this is now but let's take a look at these narrations that he's bringing okay right okay no I'm just trying to bring them up so we just go through them quickly okay so

23:22

right so here's one asked for a job a happy wapanocca saber and up to a meet-up term a typical month if not be from a the sir idea nabi he who's his father by the way month if not be her maid is is unknown we don't even know who is i'm jet the tea from his grandmother almost made that she said the messenger of allah said we love you we love our salah with you so they said to him for young known as virgin our husband stopped us from praying and the prophet says a lot o kentucky beautycon Hyrum insalata Khan Fedora Khan

23:58

so your salah is better in your internally in your homes is better than in your courtyards or the extended house which is then better your courtyards are better than praying in the Masjid this hadith is mo - MO - fabricated ok signa handsome said then this generation in ahmed and in abu dawood and even of Jose ma and Al Haqq him from Willie didn't Abdullah evening to me who is life the ieave right ok from his grandmother Leila bint Malik who is unknown who is Laila bin - Malik

24:38

Lana tree who is Laila been - Malik we don't know she is from Abdul Rahman if Khalid Ansari who is module we don't even know who this person is I'm The Rock manual Ansari from hit from America ok so this is the another one that they use but this one right ok let's move on to the other one another popular one that they use from transmitted by ahmed from Doudna face from abdul likeness sweet swedenland sorry l hope amin not al-harithi by the way these two of these people from his aunt in Marathi who made a sir ID that she

25:18

came to the prophet and the Prophet said the same thing and he said look I know that you love praying with me but your prayer in your house is better than you pray in your front part of your house which is better than the pray in your house which is better than the prayer in in the Masjid of your people which is then better than the prayer in my mosque the hadith that he used and then she commanded so they made a play area for her in the farthest area of her home and the darkest and she's to praying until she met a long learn so first of all

25:54

this Dawood from eveness edna sweet where does he say that he's ever actually heard a transmission from him that this word is their sama no somehow ok so lazy loafer could have it - sorry wire Allah Hafiz this is the only narration he has in the nine books of hadith in the nine books of hadith ok an updo like a Swede al ansari is not al-harithi the Sahaba which they some peep confused inform bihari mentions him about him mentioning but they don't mention that he's a theta so he and who is he

26:34

he remains much food and they're gonna say well even a headband mentioned him in the thick hot but that's because if night band does Tosi he just puts many Magi he people who've not transmitted you know people who've only had one transmitter from them for example he puts them in his book of of their part if no Jose man brings a rewire on up to live no Jennifer even energy society who is life and Moon Carol hadith Jaden he's mukha right this person unaccepted and he himself says fulfilled album in whose shape that I you know I'm very doubtful

27:12

about this person then he says Mohammed Mohammed who is problematic if he's transmitting from a be Salma and guess who is transmitting from here I miss Alma you got it from Abu Huraira that he said in a hopper salat into Salah al maraa in Allah and to suddenly fear team economy Beatty has alma the best prayer to pray for a woman is in the darkest area of a home ha ha fabricated hadith Abner Jose mahem self titled this chapter of the hadith Babu stre salat al Marathi bTW an ocelot earful Masjid in

27:52

the battle Kaaba he says that always better for a woman to pray in her what is it in a home that Masjid if this were is sahi putting a question mark t and he doesn't normally do things like that by the way so then you've got a narration from amra blonde hadith that damn Rajan a Bassam who is MOT Rukh I'll rewire who tell rates from say mola Oh miss Alma who is much rule and Oh miss Alma so Jinnah be that the best pray of women is in the in the depths of their homes then you have another rewire from Hobby Lobby turbot which is moon Katya

28:31

and Eve normal then you have a narration from Ibrahim of the Muslim Allah Jerry with life Anabella and Abdullah the similar kind of narration okay now in this right okay and you've got right open a Hosea mentioned in his transmission of this narration why am asscher-cut to face a hottie let me let our people alas America tada Adel Hubbard memorial so he himself says that Qatada who is a major model list by

29:08

the way I don't believe that he has actually even heard from this transmitter more rip so and you've got some transmissions from Qatada who is I've mentioned in the past transmits many many from many people without actually ever hearing from them it's just it just at least and then you've got a transmission in tehrany and it's all set from say dubrow mahadji up in a cornfield who's much rule from Alma Selma this is a harem party as even has amenities have said then you've got one in Tehran is Kabir which is transmitted

29:48

by evening lahia who is unacceptable once again then you've got in the son of a half-demon Tariq and life once again from Hamilton Abdul Rahman if Nabil Aviva whose week life on JIT then then you've got a narration from jerry jipner who is what la who used to fabricate hadith fabricate hadith from movies or you see people look we can go on and on with these narrations these narrations are either fabricated or very weak they clash with the sahih hadith they clash

30:26

with the serie of the prophet so the serie that we know in the prophet's lifetime women used to attend in the prophet's mosque that's why they used to pray they don't have to attend but they could and they did now the Prophet will take some guys look I'm seeing that you coming here every day for God's sake it's more virtuous to pray at home he never ever said that and the Prophet taught in sayyidi that his Masjid is the most virtuous to crane and there is the rewire that except in Makana did mention a going to mom Alec no but that generally Medina is always better but that's that's a different discussion but for people to

31:06

say you know for a woman her cupboard or a wardrobe or a closet or some dark corner switch off the lights is better than the Masjid of Nephi right is absurd absurd and this is what happens when you take this theme without having studied it this is what happens when you have a personality disorder that is like a control freak kind of control freak paranoia we you have issues of control and are using religion to justify it you know many insecurities you'll find many

31:43

people they'll use religion as their biggest shield now I read a post by Daniel saying what is it with Muslims today trying to put this up I think it was today somebody shared it with me when I mentioned I'm gonna speak about him saying what is it with Muslims today saying oh the Prophet was a feminist or the Islam is about supporting feminism and this and that and billions of Muslims for you know what billions of Muslims for centuries had no issues with this for 1,400 years and today you have an issue first of all what billions of

32:23

Muslims have you been reading I mean you first of all don't even understand the term Mazda right you're Arabic it's clearly in question I don't know if that's you know some kind of a an understanding issue but from my from what I have looked into I don't believe that you're actually a graduate of any Islamic Sciences as in having studied to a scholarly level within Islam I'm not saying you haven't studied at Harvard I'm sure you have but you from an Islamic perspective I'm unaware of your Hadees studies and these kind of things so what 1,400 years are you talking

33:02

about which method are you talking about does that include a 1400 include the profit because in the profits time the women came to the Masjid you know that does it include Omar because in his time he had a whole thing set up for women in the Masjid does it include Ali because in his time he had an imam for women in the Masjid does it include the Sahaba of the allow Adam does it include him a Malik Stein when he's never said this he's living in Medina does include him does include Abu Hanifa who never said things like this does it include the selleth who never

33:41

taught these kind of ridiculous teachings this so when you're saying that oh 1400 years of a legacy who are these 1400 years where'd you get this from we which are these you know which which books are you referring to that are telling you that we for 1400 years have had monotonous ly all women praying inside wardrobes or cupboards or locked up or praying behind barriers or we go to mush kids throughout the world they've had women always praying in some methods they've been more restrictive in others they haven't Shafi must-reads

34:19

Maliki masjid humbly machines have always had women praying in them you can go to any part of that in fact so this is you know this kind of thing all for 1400 years Islam has been against what version of Islam is it like the Salafi publications version is it like Darussalam I don't know what kind of glossy petrodollar books that you've been reading nowadays when you say 1400 of Islam can you name me a traditional classical book of one of the methods that you actually study that you actually go through that you actually I mean whose Fatah are you referring to

34:57

here because you'd be everything I've quoted generally about this sense is all from these Fatah WA human reason he said all today people are trying to suck up to be compassionate imam musa lee was share whole Islam of his zero from 600 years ago in northwest Africa he has his photo a book a major 50 within the molecule mother he said capital punishment and all who dude will be subset would be substituted with new financial penalties in his day and age is he part of your 1,400 years of legacy the practice Amal the Amal yet

35:35

continued in northwest Africa upon his fatwa amongst many communities even our Lord said women will inherit wives would inherit 50 percent of the of the husbands division is he are these kind of radical feminists what our part of your 1400 years of legacy like what is this 1400 years of legacy you know when you say Oh women must be doing women can't travel outside they can't go on their own he said what is this I will believe the body from Muslim Spain who said that a thousand years ago what's wrong with women traveling when they go in caravans from city to city he said so

36:13

long as they say what is the issue is he part of your 1,400 years of legacy I mean who is this leg you know this 1,400 years who are you even talking about so the these things this is why when I read these kind of statements and they appeal to certain people who hate their version of modern Muslims that they gonna say all Islam should never be modern but the irony is look here is a person who uses the West as to say look I'm educated in Harvard I am an

36:51

authority or to be listening to me to then say you know all Muslims really ought to be like living in caves it's not saying that word for word but that's what it becomes like basically the best understanding of Islam is that which resonates with the Taliban for example is his best version of Islam or maybe in Isis territory with one two notches higher that I mean less in extreme that's all you think well hmm you know like what but you're using everything Western like your own credentials are simply just Western credentials you know that you went to

37:31

Harvard you that because you appear presentable because you can speak English right more than these movies they give you a platform or they share your things so it's it's ironic subhanAllah we have to remember look people I'm gonna leave whoa is that the time I'm gonna leave us with this final message I just want us to ponder over look we have to understand that Islam it came for all times now with the day and age with the people things would evolve now I want you to just understand something check this out

38:06

people the whole human race the whole human race in the time of the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam was approximately under 210 million people that means today let me give you an example that means today Pakistan as an example is around probably about 205 million people that means that the people of Pakistan is an example today the population of Pakistan was the

38:45

population of the entire planet Earth of human beings in the time of the Prophet right Arabia Arabian Peninsula had no war it had between probably 100 to 200 thousand people that's all that means if you took the UK today a town like Dudley would probably have more people living in it or like Derby if you took Derby or these small areas like wolf the small

39:23
