What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThose with very different views still come from love for the religion, and the only way forward is dialogue and humanising one another; the guest says the Quran is the only thing that can unite Shia and Sunni, and both sign off warmly.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says that some take one road and some another, that all are on a journey to find Allah, and thanks the guest, who apologises if things got heated and says it is passion for the book of God, which both call compelling. The guest says he can see why the tradition matters to Mufti as the preservation of the book, but that the Quran is the only thing that can unite Shia, Sunni and the rest, which Mufti agrees with. Mufti repeats, as he said in his preface, that anyone coming with a different perspective, even an entirely different one, comes from love for this deen, even if each may feel the other's love is misplaced; the only way forward is dialogue, humanising people and finding the bond of humanity, bringing the heat back down to avoid disrespect, and he admits he has been terrible in the past himself, since this life is a learning curve. He blesses the guest and the viewers who watched diligently, mentions that one-to-ones are available through Patreon, and wishes everyone a good evening or an early blessed morning.

These are different takes. You know when somebody asked Im Malik they said to him about a certain way path to Allah. He said the roads that will lead you to God are many. So look to some people they'll take that road to some people this road we're all on a journey to find Allah inshallah right so shukran once again and leave on that pleasant note of love >> thank you for hosting me and I apologize if it got a little heated >> it gets passionate it's the it's the passion I see you car >> exactly and it is about the book of god and and uh and the appeal to certain things that we just don't accept I find the book of god very compelling and very amazing
>> I agree 100% And as God says, we're supposed to know it like we know our children. So and and um we've sp I've spent so much time with this book that yeah, I can obviously see your passion and I and I see that why the tradition is important to you because to you it's the preservation of this good book. I understand the sentiment behind it and I I can understand the perspective. But we also want to show you that because of all these problems that we are having in this world, this what you consider as an extremist position where we're throwing the whole thing into the the baby in the bathwater.
It's because the Quran is the only thing that's gonna unite us between the Shia, the Sunnis, the Mad and everything. the Quran is the only thing that is going to uh go into >> I think we we 100% agree on and I do want to say as well once again to people that look any person that is coming with a different perspective be it you know almost entirely different it they are coming with and I said this in the beginning preface my the whole show with it that they're coming from a position of love for this dean now we may disagree and we may feel it's a misplaced love or maybe and you may feel
that about my passion I may feel it about yours and other people but the only way forward is through dialogue it is through humanizing people through finding that bond of humanity and you know it doesn't matter sometime and this is why it is always important to even when we get a bit you know heated at times to bring it back down to avoid the disrespect and and look I've been terrible as well in the past and and you Oh, I know.
So, I'm putting my hands up and saying that and and this dunya is a is is a learning curve for us all. You know, it's a journey. So, yeah, I want to say that Allah bless us all. May, you know, and those of you that have been uh very diligently watching, right? It's been going on for quite a while. Allah bless you all, right? Take very good care of yourselves. Uh once again, Muhammad, take very good care of yourself, right?
