My Thoughts on Mohammed Hijab & His Approach | Mufti Abu Layth

how many jobs routine is fight no you know my thoughts on Mohammed a job and that kind of Dawa scene is that you see I to be fair I'm to be fair like if I try to be fair at this moment in time I don't know whether my opinion will change as it often does right so but in this moment in time my assessment of people like Mohammed hijab is that you know he is very you know he's very

intelligent he's articulate can express himself he's obviously got a passion obviously why else is he doing all of this so it's taking a lot of the boxes and to be fair I I think I think and I don't follow him too closely you see so this is the I could be wrong here so if if I'm caught out on this there's a you know disclaimer I think he has a level you know like he has maturity of thought although recently I saw a clip of his way he said something about I'm you know

I I decide to be more angry with my opponents on purpose so I shout at them and I kind of dominate them in the like so this is with his eighth he's had a few recent atheist or I think mainly atheist maybe they were Christian as well kind of dialogues and he's been quite aggressive in some of them you know like he started shouting raising his voice you know speaking down at the person and there's somebody sent me a clip of his we he's asked why you know is this something you're aware of is

this a reaction what what is this and he said you know I do this purposely because I because Allah says that we should be harsh against the Crafar those who are challenging Islam we should dominate them and harsh and if if that's what he meant you see by that I mean I'm just trying to you know maybe he's got an he didn't mean it I'm trying to give some kind of an exit here but if that's what he meant that is utterly nonsensical

and unacceptable that's not true that Allah teaches us that for example we can met because he said he uses the verse of the Quran that you will never find those who believe in a line is messenger you were the Lavina Cafaro that they now he said that they are friends now you word is from the verb the third form of Allah which is a reciprocal a kind of way you have another person involved and it's to do from the word would about love that you are kind of expressing this overwhelming

love for them and but he said in his interview that Allah saying you can't be friends with them unless they don't those who challenge Islam in any way so if an atheist is challenging the validity of Islam then you cannot be friends with him that verse definitely is not saying anything like that okay that is not at all because in all honesty all people to some extent who don't believe in Islam are challenging Islam to some extent they may not be so vocal but at their own level obviously if they believed in Islam they would be

Muslim I mean this is given the pretext that they've heard about Islam they would say yeah that's you know some it's like I might not be openly challenging let's say you know I may not be preoccupied with challenging Hinduism or Sikhism or but ultimately my very lifestyle choice denies it's like I don't agree with it and I would challenge it at some level so what I'm trying to say is if you're not part of something you're ultimately always challenging it but

it's maybe you're on a spectrum so it's not true that Muslims sorry non-muslims in the past in the prophet's lifetime who weren't declaring war against muslims were somehow happy with islam as well but that is not a necessary follow so it doesn't you know that doesn't follow necessarily so we've got they would have been very many people that would have just been like okay you know we're not we don't have animosity against Islam but we think they may have thought it's wrong they may have thought it's dumb they may have thought it's stupid but they may not but

they may not have had open animosity against it so so coming back to this point this verse of the Quran where it says that expressing a love for those people first of all this verse was revealed at a time when Muslims were being attacked and they and the non-muslims were forming allies and a confederation of different tribes to attack the Muslims and you had some people who still had ties with some of those different tribes so Allah was saying that you know you won't find

somebody who's in his heart a believer and yet he's got that tribe over the Muslims their interests best at heart so this is what the rest of the Quran was speaking about it's not speaking about oh you can't be friends with that's stupid because if you can marry Christians and Jews then of course there's gonna be love you know there's got to be some kind of love all right so the thing is or at the very least there's gonna be a friendship a kind of friendship so to say that well you know

no you must only be harsh against non-muslims and that is utterly unacceptable so I hope that this was maybe a kind of like a blunder that you know maybe Mohammed hijab didn't think it through and he just said he'd already used say something else and he said that but otherwise I do see in him some maturity of thought and I'm I'm hopeful that maybe in years to come maybe not right now because right now he's still like his kind of the field he's arguing from is a very kind of Salafi esque standpoint and seller fees in all

honesty cannot stand the chance in front of like think people like atheists or things like that they cannot stand a chance it doesn't eat the Salafi you know the view of looking at things they're doctoring the it's all anthropomorphic the whole thing it doesn't they don't there were never people of argumentation so you will see even and people like Muhammad hijab or let's say other people like that who are of a selfie kind of background when it comes to arguing they will use a shoddy arguments they will

use Martone the arguments because those were the people historically in in muslim sciences who argued for theology the humble ease didn't they were you know just like a literalist textualist people they were I mean they were very harsh but they were never really geniuses of philosophy or theology or things like this but yeah so I wanted to say that and I think it's worth noting here that you know this whole thing I wanna walbro Nilla this is a selfie Wahhabi thing right that this thing of we love and we hate for the sake of God

this does not exist in our tradition this is a a hobby invention that through mass kind of advertising and a lot of you know petroleum dollars behind this that were they've managed to spread a lot of glossy literature throughout the world that everybody today has heard of this term Al walbro Lilla this al wala wala Bora is some humble ease mainly wahhabis it's the thing that people like Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab bases his whole release a movement his

insurgency on where he goes around and uses that as a justification to kill other Muslims so you see this thing if you check this up I'll wallop walbro it's only written by Saudi scholars and Gulf scholars and Wahhabi scholars nobody else spoke about this kind of thing like this I mean maybe if they were speaking about in a different context and you could kind of extract a thing like a word from there and give it a little but they never spoke like by the way we have Al Walla Walla bara Lilla we hate for the sake of Allah we do this we'd like has a belief construct

I'm not saying you may find certain things that weren't being said like that but you could see these words in like so for example Allah saying that he doesn't like disbelief he doesn't like the plot of the disbelievers he doesn't in using words like Cora but even then and you'll find Allah saying in the Quran that he's buried that the messenger is but it is Baraka that they have no association with the with the people who've gone against the Covenant and so on and this is what Barak means in essence like you

a detachment of Association it does not mean hatred okay but this new thing that we have that oh you must love and hate for the sake of God is it's an innovation in Islam and it is nothing but kind of selfie stroke Wahhabi propaganda so do not buy into things like that so if you see things like that

okay cool so
