Do Arab scholars denigrate Pakistani scholarship? | Mufti Abu Layth

do and Mufti, do you think Pakistani scholars are hated on by Indian scholars and held back and denied opportunities? Do you mean in India or do you mean in the West? You mean worldwide? Or is it uh just in India? In India, I can understand why they wouldn't probably quote many Pakistani scholars because I suppose they've got their own and then there's a problem in quoting Pakistani scholars, it would get political.

So, that makes sense why they might want to avoid uh quoting. If it's worldwide, Mhm. I can see that definitely there is um but like as in in the UK, I can see there is the the madrasah system, madrasah system is run in the UK by um the Gujaratis as far as I'm aware for the most part, not exclusively as in there are other people as well

that have madrasahs, but mostly it is the Gujaratis and the Gujarati community. And I think to them the Pakistani community isn't really uh they don't really I don't think they like much the Pakistani community. Damn, I was supposed to cut out that clip of my favorite Zakir.

You know, Zakir on the Shia uh preachers and the this one you've got So, I was supposed to cut out his clip that Yeto Hoga Yeto So, I think that that is true that they don't generally like the uh Pakistani community Pakistan I don't know about the community, but they don't like the Pakistani they don't give there's a lot of discrimination, let's put it like that.

They don't want that uh religious hierarchy to go to belong to the Pakistani um clergy. That said, I would assume for the most part the Pakistani community is Barelvi. So, because it's Barelvi anyway, it's of a different denomination and the Barelvis don't really recognize Deobandi madrasahs or the Deobandis, they don't even recognize them.

So, I suppose they're all kind of just doing their own thing in their own bubbles. But yeah, I suppose I could agree with that to some extent. And I think that happens in many places, believe it or not there's many people who I think um you know, I've had issues with that they've one of the issues that they've had is is because of things like this, because people struggle that because I'm not ethnically an Arab people sometimes some Arab mashaikh, I've had them uh you know, in a state of denial saying to other people about me that how can

you know the Awaid Pakistani Kafir Yareful Madhabul Maliki Kefa Kefa Kefa Kefa Right, but this is um it happened because they think well, how can a Pakistani and then that to a British Pakistani know anything about the Maliki madhab? I think that's true, how could any, but then I'm not just any.

Upon Kuchi Yada he has you know, this a special you know, this one Sheikh I'm not just any and Monfarid Fihad up. So, that's
