in the awali so because of that her dietary thing is completely different she doesn't adhere to this ascetic kind of dietary lifestyle and that then aids in the pregnancy as well so that's something ustada yes mean i mean had written it's quite intriguing it's interesting i thought hmm that's uh um that's a perspective i've got to still research more about it all right so people moving on right we've got to move on people speaking of uh we had somebody there saying uh
uh wahhabi wobbler [Laughter] right so speaking of wobblers right right so those of you that are not familiar uh there was this huge kind of meltdown that ganguteli has had where
he he's he's kind of he's gone on twitter and he's put up this kind of uh this post obviously attacking me now i don't use twitter much okay in fact in those two days i've probably used twitter more than i've used in about a year and a half [Laughter] so i i find twitter too toxic i'm gonna be honest with you and i don't use it so what i have is when i post things on let's say instagram or facebook i have the settings that it will share
it to twitter but i seldom log into twitter but anyway so i went on somebody sent it to me so i went on there and he's kind of having this whole oh mufia bullets whatever oh my god he's doing this he's just attacking me making fun of the scholars blah blah blah so it turns into this huge drama so he's like oh he's got me blocked he's got me blocked so then i have him unblocked i mean what let me just tell you what's going on with our beloved elisabeth what's going on is that you see he as i've mentioned before was behind the whole
yasir adi leaks okay he's farid leaks now because of this because he leaked uh yasir hadi's emailed to you know eventually to dawah man who exposed them this has been known in certain circles although the public have only recently started to catch wind of these so he used to be a part of a group i don't know why they call themselves sunni defense but they were actually like the wahhabi defense but they were just pure anti-shia that was their purpose and they would just make videos against the shia
now along the way he came across me as well and he tried refuting me obviously it wasn't as easy as he thought so he's like a cha cha cha right now what happens is that group the ts not standing for tsd not standing for transsexuals disguised that's not what it stands for but the tsd the ts what the ts do is they chuck him out of the group
there's no pun intended here right i know chaka also means transsexual in but so they chuck him out of this group now so he is kind of like oh like i don't know what to do so to gain relevance and to gain some attention what he does is he thinks i know i'll latch on to muftiya because surely multiple eight has many haters so this will give me some credibility amongst the diverse groups and sustain a following to me by all means
by all means if that you know if if becoming obsessed with me gives your life some some meaning some purpose go for it man go for it go for it so anyway what we had was we had this thing going on so he went and had this kind of meltdown on twitter this back forth back for he's doing all this he's mocking the scholars i'm mocking the scholars i'm doing this i'm doing that so i said to him look i tell you what he's saying i'm a jahil i'm a you know all kinds of thing
