ossama hassanein I'm just logging on to just bringing up the questions that was submitted on the status right I'll bring that up whilst I'm doing that I'll just say some of you are aware of a post along with Saturn in a bizarre ironic here shout out to me it's my birthday I'm on Farooq Allen was awesome I have an awesome birthday man have an awesome birthday salams and eve mubarak to all sugar and all right so I'm just bringing up those questions some of you are aware

5:29

of a post I had shared okay so I'm bringing up your questions as well so I'll just go I'll just mention a bit comment a bit about the post so those of you just logging in feel free to put your questions down like and share the the live feed to get it out then let people benefit in Charlevoix so I put this this kind of this post up there was a picture saying about Islamic kind of romance and it was highlighting what you had in essence presumably it appeared to

6:09

be so I can't guarantee us but it what appears to be much little harem and a man is praying the woman is granting him some shade by standing as a pillar of shade and I kind of put a hashtag D and I think that my hashtag always offends people but what can I do people what can I do so I wrote romance and and I said this is a great idea why don't you get her to dress up in black which absorbs the most heat and stand as a pillar of shade was

6:43

you just pray right so so yeah so this obviously see my the thing what I wanted to highlight it's not some people were saying well let me add the ingredient people look at so I'm talking about let it begin let the games begin you see you see that ice block see gadgets people gadgets so people some

7:22

people are like oh well it could be you know her choice and it could look I'm not against look people can do whatever the hell they want my only point was that this is being pushed off this is being is slammer sized okay it's being pushed off as some kind of Islamic like oh so cute and you're thinking well I don't think that you could just pray in

7:55

the shade like the rest of mankind you know there's a dialogue in in a movie where the person was somebody said it's a Bollywood dialogue with the person wait one person says to him that he says that you could have fixed yourself but he says that mugger Jew or bigger name Emma's I was so darn

8:35

Amiga that's that's that's the truth that's that's one of Anil Kapoor dialogues right the world up Matthew word up all right so that's one of those that your bigger name him as I was so dynamic that's that's the point so now so my thing is of pushing this thing off as a nice llama sized kind of affirmation of a particular culture that's all see cultures can vary I have no issues with that Obama odd in the

9:13

house all right but when things are pushed off is Islamic that's the problem right so just to Nicholas I know I know I know I know loss a loss a don't worry for you will have to bring in at least pani all right so the thing is that right so let's so that's what it was so if you got offended with that that's what I was trying to highlight I was just trying to say that look this expectation needs to be challenged and I want to come back to this today about how we ought to

9:51

approach Islam and in essence any Islamic teachings we really ought to have the approach we ought to take when we need to take is one of these course analysis so this is something which in psychology they there's a huge emphasis on and and they call in fact the psychological approach to it they call it discursive psychology or discursive approach where you're looking at text and language that is being presented to you and in really need to question several things when it

10:30

when any kind of discourse language comes to you whether it's religious teachings Vitara things like this you need to look at it from several approaches one and I'd like to come back to this about the kind what context and they call that the interpretive repertoire that this is leaning on the subject positions that it is drawing the power structures that are involved because we all too often we all too often assume that language is passive

11:07

language is not passive people language plays a huge role it is constructive of our identity of our reality sorry not just our identity of reality we define parts of reality truly just through our discourse so I want to come back to to a bit of that because this is taken all too often for granted and this results when we start looking at this especially from a it's not so much about language games and sometimes it's done even

11:44

unintentionally but language is used to cease to manipulate power structures and this is done it's done in general life it's done between people it's done in the media it's done by politicians it's done but and it's done by the clergy all too often so even when we're reading back so this is it's incredibly important to understand this that when people introduce definitions when they introduce terms we have a discourse that we are accessing to understand religion

12:23

this discourse share Abdullah well animus Alan Alan Alan so this is a discourse okay at this course of religion and we have dominant discourses that kind of that take place so we assume something to be in a particular way but it may not have most likely definitely was not always like that so it's and we can now revisit or explore through historical discourses the kind of genealogy of way that was born along the way so this is something

13:02

I want to speak a bit more about later on and and this really shows how and it becomes manifest through the use of religion as through the use of language anyway and it's not restricted to religion but in religion it's important because we're making truth claims people those of you that have just joined the livestream inshallah like click share get this stream out there let other people in show my benefit to and post your questions and I'll come to them okay sell some I'll take a question straight away that was posted about our

13:39

birthdays Haram celebrating birthdays is not Haram contrary to what anybody may say birthdays are a cultural kind of celebration that take place in some parts of in some parts of the world people kind of celebrate birthdays they do anniversaries they do and this varies throughout the globe Islam did not come to define culture and anybody that starts to impose against birthdays and

14:16

say this thing what we need to also see where they're coming we need to see where this trend has evolved of condemning culture because it was not one in the time of the Prophet so it's interesting okay how this is defined along the way and sometimes we get people who they condemn one cultural practice but embrace another so you will get sometimes Saudi Arabia and a lot of the Saudi Wahhabi Salafi kind of and I say that in a non pejorative

14:54

kind of non denigrating manner I'm just saying factually saw the Saudi or the Gulf kind of Wahhabi Salafi z-- will condemn birthdays as haram yet celebrate days of national independence of Saudi national for example independence is massively celebrated while because oh it's culture but birthdays because it's not the culture therefore it must be Haram because if it's not as it must be introduced by you know by the co for the West gringos by the gory

15:33

the gory have introduced this the coup for them right so that's that is an absolute that is an app that is such a [Music] such an intellectually deprived and a reason deprived mana to approach the Dean ok so and people who say you should be upset on your birthday cuz you're one year closer to death what an absurd statement Java is big so because you've

16:11

just accomplished another amazing year of life you have lived life you have breathed war and met with people had amazing interactions discussions you have seized may be opportunities embarked on may be relationships may be you've learned so many new concepts you've expected expansions you've you've maybe had a child that year or you've maybe seen a child of yours go through a fantastic year of their life you have embraced so

16:50

many new experiences you tell me what is there - is that something to celebrate or is that something to to kind of be all morbid about if you get Marilyn Monroe to dance you I think Marilyn Monroe dancing for me would be slightly difficult especially considering the fact that she's dead right but nevertheless nevertheless a mom so hey people we've got chef Sohaib in the house and Glasgow II from Scotland right there those of

17:28

you just tuning in people like share this feed get it out there maximize the benefit let other people benefit and post your questions and I'll come to them in Charlotte right let's move on to another question how come a large house the land of Palestine in general to be such importance why not China ah true qionghua where's a man why why is it not China I'm with you the Middle Kingdom that's John wah so the Middle Kingdom why

18:09

not the Middle Kingdom you see a lot of civilization has really historically I don't know bolstered and boosted its its developmental kind of trajectory from the Middle East that is true I mean that is just a factual thing that's not kind of in a way favoritism so a lot of the so if you're going to look at the the the kind of cradle of human civilization boosting forward has occurred from the Middle East

18:48

I'm not saying obviously mankind kind of emerge from Africa but then the Middle East really in the last so if you look at agriculture the first agricultural revolution takes place in the Middle East in Asia Minor that's where wheat for example traces all of its DNA back to its Asia Minor about maybe nine thousand years ago even the first documented history that we have of mankind is in the middle around the whole when I say Middle East I don't just mean like Iraq or Iraq but I mean that whole region including Asia Minor which

19:27

incorporates Greece and and all these kingdoms and goes right through to the middle to the Middle East so that's what I mean that kind of central part of the globe that is where the cradle of civilization has really kind of has had its kind of nitro boost so you see the Phoenicians were the first people to come up with the the alphabet they the Phoenician civilization they came about with that the Sumerian kingdom babylon babylon that's what we're talking about so abdullah Wafi I Louis Allen mr.

20:06

Harlan right so you see the the the Babylonians and their Kingdom the kingdoms of Samara the the kind of legal structures they introduced Egypt including Egypt in this kind of Middle East part of the of humanity being this nitro boost of human civilization people if you've just tuned in like share this live feed in Charlotte get it out there let other people benefit and post your questions and all come to them in Charlotte right so now that's why I think if you're saying why were prophets

20:45

and certain places chosen because of the key position that they had full human civilization in their time okay that's that's why it's not a favoritism it's not to say well you know that a lot didn't favor China but this is we this is what humanity was depending upon to kind of shoot itself and project itself forward okay so that's why and you can't really deny that so let's move forward people take a look at some other questions what's going on till then those of you just logging in

21:22

like come on share that feed people get it out there and post your questions there let me come to them in Charlotte right somebody's asking a okay we've got hair jamrock asking can you elaborate on the principle of lesser of the two evils in Islam would one still be sinful for adopting the principle right now I first of all I think we need to move away from this approach of sin this sin eccentric okay and I don't mean by same here this the Chinese centric that's also the

22:01

sino-tibetan for example that's also spelt in a similar way I mean stars Hassan gamba all of a sudden an animal Salman right so I mean this sin of centric approach okay where everything is about scene everything is about sin I'm so sinful I'm so sinful yeah oh no get there now oh what a shame you know it's the whole thing's like I'm so sinful I'm so sinful I'm so sinful right this is a very judeo-christian way of looking at things

22:40

people you know it's not what islam teaches us mefaris don't get sore but gala evening I'm not capable of having keeping the company of angels hamsa Fargo HR here goona Garza I need a sinful companion this is this thing the hadith teaches us cool new

23:14

Bani Adam Kappa that all the children of Adam mankind is excessively sinful don't worry about if people don't worry about it focus on the good things focus on cause on on bringing about positivity don't shake it yeah okay I don't don't worry too much about these kind of negative things this is my understanding to this Dean don't worry about all this

23:53

like oh you know I'm so guilty I'm so guilty you know speaking of discourse analysis let's bring that back in for a moment it's interesting that what is see this word guilt I ask you what is the Arabic definition of guilt we don't even have this word we don't even look even in order where is that this has come this is a very Christian term what is the Arabic term for guilt

24:28

what like them which is a sin or a mistake or if them which is what would you say 'no dhamma which is what guilt where is guilt people you see why is this important it's important because definitions define your discourse yep a shame you see Rajan is like an embarrassment it's not gradual it's not guilt guilt you have regret madama but

25:06

no Dharma is not guilt what is what you see regret is like you know I regret doing something I shouldn't have done or I regret not having done something but guilt is this kind of guilt that we have this kind of we do have remorse over something but we don't have guilt this is what I'm trying to say you see this is something language defines concepts which then defines behavior power structures you see you have guilt which

25:45

is then redeemed by the church for you this kind of feeling of just being burdened with this sin and this kind of Islam did not bring this understanding you didn't even how it still does not even have an adequate word that adequately translates this concept so exactly look you can get into a linguistic kind of discussion about this but there is a distinction between remorse and guilt

26:22

so guilt what a lot of people associate with religion this sense of guilt was brought about through judeo-christian kind of cultures into the Muslim world we don't have them is not them basis sin ha ha you could have ha ha which is a mistake if them which is a sin but once again you don't have an adequate translation so why is a translation important because definitions determine

27:00

the discourse when you don't even have an adequate word to translate something it's interesting how that because words carry a whole culture with them they carry a discourse and people are controlling this discourse so it's important to always fall back on discourse analysis because it kills the whole thing you see so so that's what I'm saying anyway that would this whole thing of being trapped down by sin by by guilt we don't have I don't believe that

27:38

we have this concept in Islam at all we do have regret over what we've done we have an intention to improve we have an acknowledgement of of mistakes and trying to make you know trying to repair things that we've done wrong and then we have a positive a kind of positive trajectory to move forward with that's what Islam is really about so this kind of guilt thing I'm not really to keen about but coming back to this

28:16

point of lesser of the two evils you see this is interesting because in Islam it's not even cool that it's called a hufadh or arraign lesser of the two harms it's not even cool lesser of the two evils see because what but I suppose somebody could try to translate it as sharain or whatever but generally a half of the rain and the least of the two harms okay that we that you are faced with so this is not about a same thing if you have to harmful decisions to you know opportunity choices then you take the

28:56

one with the least harm that is what common sense reason and Islam advises you to do there is no sin in things like that and we need to move beyond this sin kind of held in sin by bondage approach where we are kind of shackled by sin we're not shackled by sin people right we are floating by virtue we're not shackled by sin so okay so let's exactly how harm is how you ought to look at it in saying a hufadh bahrain

29:36

and that's how the Sharia look sorry because evil is just a very subjective thing what the hell does that even mean evil my love is evil according to many people so so I don't know where that would go right let's take another question why do people make Islam so complicated they make it look difficult we're out of Iqbal I agree that people Islam is a natural thing it is a way of life that is that is in line with Fatah the Prophet constantly emphasized this thing

30:15

of fitrah that this is a Dean of fitrah today we've forgotten that we don't want it to be natural we want it to be institutionalized controlled why it's interesting that the church or the ecclesiastic order or the clergy or they they took control even of the most intimate aspects of human lives but did the Prophet know dig the Quran hell no there isn't hardly a single

30:55

hadith from The Messenger of Allah Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam restricting oke restricting and prohibiting Allah anything sexual or intimate in a person's life there isn't not even a single Haditha prohibits maybe one that liberates but that's interesting how we have books upon books and rulings upon rulings written restricting human lives right down even to the point of intimacy a very kind of

31:33

church-like approach that muslims unfortunately kind of took on so this and this is where the Prophet warned that you will let that letter be Anna son and a man can a publican you will follow the ways of those the Christians and the Jews before you in even it's that you will even if they were to enter the whole of a lizard I mean that's a metaphor that you would have followed them meaning you will institutionalize this deen the way they institutionalized

32:09

it that this deen is military brahim it is the way of abraham who taught us to keep things natural and ibraheem alehissalaam is one of the only prophets in the quran who constantly is reasoning oh is the son your god no it doesn't make sense oh can this be a god it doesn't make sense God show me how do you bring the life back to - how would you gather people it doesn't make since how would you do like he's constantly the prophet of reason in the

32:48

Quran if you had to choose a prophet who is highlighted as the voice of reason it is Abraham and then you know when he's when he's asked over call people to he's like but yeah a lot is nobody here he doesn't even make any sense he is constantly the voice of reason and this Deen is then termed his tradition military brahim the Dean that who are some mock Muslim he said you will submit submit to what to reason this is what

33:26

Islam is really about and this is why we need to explore these kind of this kind of discourse analysis those of you of the magic just joined our our people Majid in the house that's it right so those of you just joining do like click Share get this live feed out the in shot and law and let other people benefit post any questions you have and I'll try to get to them hi I have a question well hi there hacen Rosa I find the whole concept of sacrificing on either big or I am no vegan I enjoy my meat its whole

34:03

mass slaughter confuses me you know it's a good question awesome to be honest with you I I - I love me I won't lie to you I do love me you I I admire vegetarians but I do love my meat personally but I can't and this may be seen as double standards I too am very kind of very agitated with slaughter like I I I would not like to it really disturbs me to

34:41

witness the slaughtering of animals and things like that so I wouldn't really if there was a slaughtering of an animal I probably would just leave I wouldn't have which is seen as I suppose you could say it's just double standards and hypocrisy on my part but I it is a difficult thing and and this there's been many Olimar who have been like that as well in the past and what curry from ROV speaks about how he could never bring himself to even sacrifice a chicken throughout his entire life he was one of the legends of Muslim Spain

35:16

almost 900 years ago animals I mean this you see it's it's part of the food chain people do but I just I myself it's and it's not about am i squeamish because I just can't I think I could watch horror movies that's not an issue but I just I do I struggle as a person with these not Azzam as a Muslim or as a theologian but as a person I struggle with things like that like I don't think I could ever sacrifice an animal or slaughter an animal but that's just me I find it very

35:56

difficult but I do get the whole the kind of pecking order and how life works and things like that I do get that as conceptually but as a human being I just Rock I have seen many I've seen many that it's not that I've never seen them I've seen them as a child in the abbatoirs I used to go to those of you are familiar with Birmingham 3rd slaughterhouse look at what these two call a slaughterhouse I didn't even know it had a word like abattoir until I grew up I was like just a slaughterhouse we

36:34

go to a nice to see that all the time and and I live many years of my life abroad and I've witnessed a lot of these you know sacrifices and things like this but it it really does it bothers me so I was I mean I recently just heard about my daughter's abroad that they had the sacrifice and they witnessed it and my young daughter kind of freaked out and I was kind of a bit upset that why did she witness it like I

37:11

didn't I don't like I don't know it's a difficult world isn't it it's a difficult world because I just felt like what the hell why have you why was she witnessing but I suppose it's a way of the world isn't it not but then okay I want to come to the point that look if you feel like that I think there's nothing there's not anti-islamic to feel like that there's nothing wrong with finding these things like within yourself it's not a theological or a rational debate but within yourself emotionally upsetting you're a human being at the end of the day and you have

37:49

to remember that look we are connected to life on earth all life you me these animals were all ultimately connected we're all related ultimately we all the plants the trees all life on Earth as Allah says came from a single source of origin and then Allah is the one who bestowed it that life so look we are connected so when people feel something for the environment that's because of a deep connection they have and and that's admirable that said obviously nature works in its ways that it does you know there's a pecking order

38:28

and animals kill animals and and that's how you couldn't do that and and I also see the double standards in saying well if you shouldn't eat meat then as humans should we prevent other animals from hunting other animals and nature would just fall apart so so I'm against the exploitative harm upon animals I do accept that look animals and there is this order and and I don't I'm not I don't buy into the vegetarian argument I'm saying that people should not eat meat but I feel that if you felt like

39:08

that that's okay and there have been many Muslims who have argued for like what's-his-name the famous poet Alma Ari he he was a vegetarian and he was and he wrote very passionately in defense of vegetarianism if you like so just to give you some food for thought and it's not anti Islamic I saw some posts on Facebook saying oh if you're against eating meat you are anti Islamic that's not anti Islamic it's just your human decision you know you don't have to eat meat you don't have to and you

39:46

can feel the hop I suppose if you were to can like criticize Allah or the Messenger of Allah or things like this then that's anti-islamic sceners but otherwise it's not it's just your understanding your opinion and you know you don't want to have meat that's fine you know it's not anti Islamic people okay my artery was hilarious people say he was an atheist you see my artery yeah he was just somebody who questioned you know our problem is we we want to if somebody questions something we want to condemn them already

40:25

he was a I I applaud his ability to question why not let people question people came to the Messenger of Allah and they questioned him and he didn't say how dare you question me they questioned him and he questioned things and he questioned certain things in the Sharia are any question things and he said in his famous poem about cutting off the hand he said that this doesn't make any sense to him he said in his famous poem that jeden would yet be handsome Mina as Jaden ma Baloo her ot

41:03

at fear for fear Oba Adina he said a Honda if you accidentally cut it or if you harmed a hand rendered it kind of invalid in feed video feed not working right people like cher get this out there make sure it's working right and post your questions I'll get to them he said that a hand that costs 500 gold pieces if you harmed it how can it be rational to cut it off for a quarter of a gold piece because if you

41:42

stole that's the kind of limit and I get that some scholars kind of and in fact it was the Maliki legend who responded to him all the Abdul Wahab Albert daddy not the Muhammad did not there without the Salafi that how the Abdul Wahab about daddy from a thousand years ago in Baghdad Abu Muhammad the legend where he said he drew a manatee as he said yeah jewel a manatee ha ha ha ha ha for humph either like a hick metal body he said that it is the the hand of trust it is

42:18

basically trust and the lack of it that brought that kind of that kind of gave it its value or allowed it to depreciate in value understanding that the divine wisdom and this was an understanding of the day in age in our day and age obviously as I've highlighted before according to trajectory hermeneutics and as people like above awesome Albert zuly the famous Malachy legend from 700 years ago has highlighted that the Sharia and his Penal Code would change to reflect each age and so today it would the Sharia would mandate that

42:56

we do not have things like cutting off the hands but substitute and have relative commensurate rulings in our age ok let's get to the next question we do the Malachy stand on importance of women is there respect more importance than a man's I'm told or better than me Dean Hicks I'm not sure if I fully understand that question you see right I'm not sure some people are saying they're not getting a video feed I'm not sure it seems fine from my end I haven't

43:35

had any signals here saying that the connection is weak people like it share the feed get it out there let other people join in and post your questions the do hmm men and women from a or different we are different we're not the same okay so oh let me let me see people could say you see once again speaking about discourse analysis people could say ah Mufti a now Ted not a you yourself are supporting so okay so the male and the female are different man and woman I suppose is a

44:12

sociological construct I accept that but men male and females are different well they said veca Calhoun's a-- and notice this verse notice this verse Allah did not reinforce the sociological construct he he clarified the biological construct a law did not say Malaysia Rajal kill Mara and the man is not like the woman he said well he said the Karuk Al Unser and the male is not like the female because a male is and a female or biological factual entities they are

44:52

factual entities okay they are not whereas a man or a woman can be a sociological construct as well so it builds on the biological entity but they can they can be for example overlapping like a Venn diagram Venn diagram people Venn diagram if they can be overlapping kind of overlapping magisteria to throw in some of my philosophical terms they can be an overlapping kind of things so what does it mean to be a man hmm men real men so what does it mean to be

45:29

a woman is a sociological construct a biological concept is quite simple so that I hope that makes sense so from a humanity from a human being perspective we are all the same we are just simple human beings with equal equal human rights okay equal human rights now at this point I'm going to follow this through with a question on that I have been asked by people as well which is to

46:06

do with the the kind of the blood money on men and women but I'll come to that so men and women are equal from a human perspective now other than that I'm not sure what you mean because people can have different I don't know things depending on the context so I don't know you could be speaking from an employer perspective where there shouldn't be gender discrimination okay now the Islam is against gender discrimination but it recognizes that the male is not like the female and it recognizes that in society different people have different roles even amongst

46:45

men differ and even amongst women different people have different roles and therefore different kind of rights maybe so some women may be mothers from that perspective they will have certain other rights some you know so some men may be I don't know like they may be husbands so from that perspective they may have other kind of issues and things so I don't know what this is relative to its context otherwise as human beings we are all equal okay from human beings perspective they should not be gender discrimination however everything has a

47:24

context that that's understood so for example the a the prime minister or the president of a country could have so much security around him why he may have a different social status to a regular citizen now therefore which warrants extra amount warrants different rights that doesn't make him more of a human being than other human beings but from a civil perspective he may have more rights okay so if that makes any sense okay so I'm not sure if it answers your question I hope it does okay people were

48:02

having some more people tuned in people those of you just joining like share this live feed get it out there people let other people your friends family other people Facebook family join in and benefit from the hade and post any questions you have I'll try to get to them right so let's move on to right so the question about blood money many scholars have unfortunately fallen victim and this is where discourse analysis is important have fallen victim to this understandings are a woman's blood money blood money is compensation that is paid out in accidental death

48:42

okay of a male or a female now they have said yet maja yet mother fear I read that line from the hater I did respond to that line as well if you read my response to him right now this view so many scholars have taken this view and it is very embarrassing but they have taken it that a woman's blood money her compensation which resulting from accidental death is half of what men would be entitled to or

49:21

males would be entitled to this is disgusting okay it is absolutely utterly disgusting I this has this view has generated along the way and people have just embraced it without questioning there isn't a single a single sigh and sorry sorry and sorry people whenever people present hadith always ask for these two sorry and sorry it must be unquestionably sorry no

49:57

criticism not subject to debate secondly right right secondly it must be unequivocally clear no ambiguity in the language there is no sahi let alone sorry there is no sahih hadith to support that view at all in fact the sahih hadith seemed to go against that the sahih hadith is the hadith the Prophet said al Muslim una that occur Fatima OHIM and Muslim unit at the cafe o D'Amato whom their blood is equal

50:34

and in al muslimin you get women and men you get old and young so that is the hadith that is the SIA deed that is what we go with people Quran Sunnah Quran was Sunnah we are not going when the Quran speaks he says dear to musa llama la Ali that there is a deer that is given it does not distinguish between men and women so we should not distinguish and some people there's some weak hadith that existed and those hadith are clearly weak this is no debate they are

51:11

weak that we've got jami masjid smith ik animus island an asylum people right now the people embrace this view because of right okay first of all there was some weak hadith secondly you have to understand that look in the medieval ages and going 900 years ago or whatever these kind of views were easier to embrace like if somebody said it it wasn't such a big deal so people said well alright fine women will get off and

51:50

the issue wasn't them saying it because you see from a world perspective women were getting nothing so these people saw it as okay well at least she get half you know she's getting more than what most of the women on the globe are getting we are not answerable for why those people arrived at that understanding it was influenced by the environment we are on trouble so some people may have based this on what they thought about inheritance or whatever they thought but Allah did not say this

52:27

the messenger of allah muhammad salallahu alaihe salam did not say this right this was adopted by scholars along the way any scholars in this recent century have criticized and porn to pieces this view they've said this is utterly unacceptable so this is the correct understanding people is in line with the sahi heavy that they are equal okay all Muslims right it's equal and in this day and age all humans very clearly are equal okay so there is no difference on

53:07

that and I know in recent times when there was I think when there was martial law in Pakistan under general zia he he set up a kind of Sharia Sharia Courts and they tried to bring in certain aspects of Islamic law reintroduce them and this was something they tried to bring in and this and several hamdulillah several scholars with good good you know good sense and absolutely flipped and several women absolutely

53:44

flipped and said no way on earth and they like and they had the common sense to say hell no that is not happening and also people like chef bahador pottery from Pakistan I know he has was one of the scholars was very outspoken against this in Pakistan and he wrote several books to show how these hadith are not sahi and and and this is a clear understanding ok so I thought it's important to mention that right let's get another question people coming in let's get any light questions and then

54:19

we get back to right somebody had asked about prophets Allah saying in the quran that Tilka russell football neva domina some prophets have been given a greater preference over others but Ya Allah says land father Cobain half a day minimum C 1 is preference in terms of maybe what they were endowed or given in their lifetimes but we do not discriminate between them that was the understanding okay so is it sooner to visit genital boppy when

54:56

visiting Modena Alberta is the graveyard situated just besides the prophet's mosque when I say just besides slightly it is walking distance it's not literally just besides but almost now this in the time of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was not actually part of Medina it was on the outskirt it was outside of Medina but today obviously Medina's massive city so is it rewarding of course it's rewarding it's an amazing there's some amazing legendary people buried there it's more about that connection

55:36

and the kind of tradition of Islam that these people were amazing people who contributed to this incredible Deen which led to it reaching us today so going there to I suppose pay your respects if you are they may be just just standing there and just thinking wow this is you know the for example the wives of the Prophet this is this companion this is this companion this is Imam Malik buried here ma Malik is the only non kind of companion and family member to be buried where where he is

56:14

buried in Medina with some of the wives of the prophet and the Prophet son Ibrahim so it's amazing just to be in such a blessed place and I just said oh I'll you know for yourself and asked you know send blessings upon these people it's I think it's awesome right now okay so next question does on recommend who Sal what count as the as the obligation of Voodoo does a recommended who cell sorry Jamal it count as the obligation of Voodoo right Abdul Salam let's take this a simple question what is he

56:54

talking about y'all William Mears I'm talking about some Islamic Muslim a key issues going on those of you just tuning in like people Medina must hit out of a salad like it click the share link get this out there let other people benefit post your questions and I'll try to come to you no trolling no trolling people no trolling or you're gonna get blocked and sit back blast it back to oblivion where you belong right so whose cell is taking a shower a kind of a bathing or whatever

57:32

just having just showering washing up it's a ritual in Islam done at certain practices which is for example it's it's usually done after for example if a person becomes a Muslim he can he can do that it's done before going to the Hajj it's done on after sexual intercourse oh it's it's this kind of thing which is a ritual but it also has it's a kind of uplifting experience just just to kind of it's hygienic as well and just so it's it's a mandatory kind of washing if

58:10

a person and it's recommended on certain occasions like if you're going to pray off of the Friday prayers or Eid so will it we got will lead in the house so I alaikum as-salaam what lead doing it doing it I like those videos keep them coming keep them coming right so does if it's a voluntary hustle does it substitute the obligatory so if a person I don't know needed to for example let's say he's had sexual intercourse needs to take a who soul can he just take a vote look I would say look people keep things

58:48

natural natural natural people look the Companions with the prophet muhammad salallahu alihi do things like oh is this my recommended who sell my shower or is this my mandatory shower or is this month they just took a shower they just knew that look I'm taking a whistle technically look as long as you know why you need to do whistle it covers it you do not need to make a special ritualized intention I said once that one of the greatest calamities to befall this Dean was the ritualization of intention because in

59:26

the books they say oh you must have intentions people are like oh I must have intention this is how intention must work I am making intention to do this I mean is that how you'd make intention for God's sake is that how you say I am now making intention to have a drink is that how you of course you don't do I mean look in tension as many of the scholars right and especially the malocchio Lama emphasize this a lot because they say this verbalization of

1:00:06

things is actually an innovation in Islam they say look and intention is this as many people like hobby per minute are here and many scholars right through their ficky works highlight that an intention is simply this if you stop somebody and ask them why are you doing this they can explain that's all an intention is so if you are fasting in the morning you're having your morning meal your suhoor or Sahari or whatever you want to call it you don't need to say I am now making no way to be so Mahler then I intend to fast the fast of tomorrow you don't need to do this

1:00:44

absurd action all you need to do is somebody needs to ask you if somebody was to ask you hey why why are you eating you would say me because I'm gonna fast there you go you've got intention if somebody was to ask you as you're taking a shower somebody that would be an interesting situation why the person is asking you in your shower walls you're taking a shower that would be the more interesting question let alone can be like well well hello there I was just wondering why are you taking

1:01:24

this shower well funny you should ask well according to the math hub and the school so if you were to simply say well duh I'm taking the shower because I need to do whistle which is the ritual shower fine you've got your integer or because I need to do what cell and it's Friday fine it covers okay so that is sufficient people it suffices it cafe nahi right it is enough okay

1:02:04

people next question what we're getting I'm not mad I'm going what did you say Jonah howdy do you go on dates is it allowed I've answered this in the previous Q&A so you can refer to last week's it does have I do try to put up by the following day and itemized at I'm defining and detailed content for the question so it says so you can just read the time and go to it I did put that last week dates to get to know each

1:02:43

other and stuff like this you can in my understanding do that in Islam in public places Islam is not against that if you if you wanted to get married and things like this and I have said look relationships really Islam or all religions really struggle to give a kind of commensurate responses in this day and age let's move on to king of mental huh let's move on to king of mental next question people next question why ingredie by a bucket sorry I can't

1:03:21

pronounce the last name hacen alaikum assalam from Pakistan but both marivan in janabat marijuana what's the Islamic way to eat well Sid lining in with that there's a question by angry dear that why are Muslims to encourage to eat with the right hand you see this is just an encouragement BAE just on a few things okay now it's really there's a multiplicity of aspects this is not in somebody's asking how's my special oil that's a joke from

1:04:01

snapchat which if you're if you've seen it it is not shared on Facebook as well um well it's working look my hands are swollen right so the coming two to this thing there's a multiplicity of things one is that this hygiene involved okay people did in certain societies use the left hand move for certain things but also the fact that society generally saw this as more positive and they drew a positive omen from it I mean it's kind

1:04:39

of etiquettes every society has an etiquette like like you would say in in the West like people put the fork more so on the left hand side you say well why'd you put the fork on the left hand well it's an etiquette that a society has now in that way Islam kind of emphasized the right most people were right-handed and they saw doing things with the right they saw it as as kind of good and positive and it got them going and and there were a tickets that Islam simply endorsed this is not a way the Prophet said that all the shaitaan eats with his left hand this is not that the

1:05:18

Shaitaan literally eats with his left hand okay some people take it like that that's not what the prophet muhammad salallahu alaihe salam was talking about what he meant is in that context because in that society people generally did not eat with the left hand so it's as though you're doing something like why are you being why are you creating discord within a society that is a very collective society see societies are different some societies are individualistic some societies are very collective they work as a collective like even today like societies like

1:05:58

Japan has a very collective attitude and approach now so people creating discord and disunity or kind of frowned upon now and that in mind with having an etiquette especially where there is hygiene involved as well so you have to remember in the time of the Prophet and the Companions water was not always as available as well they did live in a desert or in desert us kind of surroundings so to have clear kind of rules were important so since the Prophet said it and he kind of laid out

1:06:38

the rules it becomes an Islamic etiquette so we kind of follow through on that etiquette as an Islamic etiquette and by doing so we believe that you are you receive a reward for following the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so it has a kind of like a social aspect with a bit of a ritual veneer to it but it's nothing like oh the actual devil is eating with his left hand or if you ate with your left hand oh my god you're the devil it doesn't mean anything like that how about a shower how to get wood or before Prime and about how to shower how to get I'm not sure what that question

1:07:17

is Jonah Woodall is will do you know the rituals and before taking a ritual shower hustle you do yoga do those of you just tuning in people like Cher the live feed get it out there let other people benefit and post your questions I'll try to get to them insha'Allah ASAP right so can you explain Robyn is asking the difference between fit and Sharia she becomes a Muslim vert imagine I'm

1:07:54

not sure what that question is about Abdul mercy about somebody converting to Islam here's a good question if your child renounces Islam do you cut ties let me come back to that question okay so let me just answer this first Robin about the difference between fifth and Sharia right Turk and Sheree are really synonymous kind of terms they're not something so different from one another it just means our understanding of what

1:08:31

Allah wants from us when imam abu hanifa was asked to define fit he said ma I refer to Neffs my Allah how am i le her that having an understanding of the self its rights and obligations that's all and that encompasses I mean that encompasses everything okay so and that's what he said was a and this is why some people said it includes even belief and they call that fickle Akbar now Sharia once again just means that which Islam wants from us but usually

1:09:08

Sharia the way it's used common usage of Sharia is the non worship element so first a slightly broader it covers the entire so from worshipped presumably even belief argued by some but at least worship going right through the five pillars of Islam right into things like how to eat and food and dietary rulings and right through every transactions and interactions and the social aspect so human rights and social aspects and the penal justice code everything all of

1:09:45

that is fit Sharia is generally excluding the worship element that's how it's commonly used so Shari is often more used in a when people are trying to speak from they're trying to be a bit more authoritative if you come back to the discourse analysis that I spoke about when scholars are trying is he from from a subject position you have to see this subject position when they're writing this the power assumed see they're assuming power and they're also

1:10:22

bestowing power on the discourse so when they use the term Sharia it's a more forceful term and there's an assumption that force can be that it can be enforced there's this assumption I mean it's not necessary but I mean there's this underlying assumption that they kind of imposing with this term so it's important when scholars use this is why I said discourse analysis cannot be emphasized enough to approve to kind of have this approach when looking at Islam or anything in life but especially

1:10:59

religion so now when scholars are using the tip why don't they use the word fit because fit seems to dim has a less lesser connotation with the of of strength it's not as forceful so Sharia seems to be a more force and they're trying to put across power in the discourse so this is why they use the word Sharia and that's the understanding that it generally has so Sharia is usually the non worship elements now although somebody could argue that you know from a statutory

1:11:38

perspective this is a card would be enforced and so on and because it's seen as the taxes and things like this historically another way of looking at fitting Sharia some people say Sharia really is the objective understanding according to God and v is our interpretation of it that's another definition I personally don't think that

1:12:07

you see this the problem with that is the the problem with that definition is there is an assumption that God has one correct way of thick which he called Sharia and our understanding of it is called faith so even if we get it wrong we can still be rewarded but the Sharia must be one but in my understanding that these things the Sharia is there is no one correct way the is just interpretations there is never in you see because it's important to

1:12:47

understand this out I want a few moments of your time to to pay attention to this you see we have confused Islam fall and the faith and the religion if you want to call it the religion that we have confused that with heck and ethics and I mean sorry with this kind of so we seem to think like and let me give you an example as the same Arabic Oh bill miserly a total Mahon now with an

1:13:25

example things become clearer somebody said to me the other day they said oh sorry somebody writing about me one of my haters one of my haters said that oh they say this can change they say that the the punishment system in Islam can be substituted they say that I don't know like certain things are not like they say that shaving is not Haram or having haircuts like this is not Haram they say doing niqab is not an

1:14:04

obligation they say they change this this this this so tell me what kind of Islam will be left tomorrow this is what the so somebody said this is either in that let's just analyze let's go back to discourse analysis a discursive approach and analyze what's being said this person is making an assumption that this is what Islam and this is what they're trying to get across and turn into the discourse that this is what Islam came for and this is what Islam is about that

1:14:40

is wrong because there were many messengers and prophets before the Prophet Mohammed and they had laws which were completely different to our laws so the lures were never the objective of God the laws can never be the objective of God the objective is to have a connection between the creation and the creator and the objective was to liberate people today we have turned it into a restriction policy

1:15:18

that religion is all about don'ts and control and I love what chef Akram Neto he said were in this course that we did previously this joint course on dispelling and debunking myths he said that sophiana thorry from the cell of the great wood state scholar who had his own school of law he said that islam the Dean is not saying this this is Haram and that is Haram he said saying that doing that is something everybody is capable of you

1:15:52

can get any any Joey Muslim to say had a Haram Haram Raqqa Haram Haram Haram Haram Haram Haram he said the Dean is 2 unto us say Allah knows that you create ease and permissibility for them that is something not everybody can do you see that is what the true self of this Omar like but today it's all about so this person to him Islam is simply this ability to control by placing

1:16:30

restrictions on people in these things and if that collapsed what is the purpose of faith what do you mean what is the purpose of faith what an absurd statement faith didn't come to tell you how to have a beard or how to it came for faith you see if that's what you if that's what the objective of Islam to you is then you have your objectives misplaced my friend you need to revisit your understanding of faith so that's why it's important to understand that yes these things can have importance I'm not saying they can't have input but they are not the

1:17:10

objective of the fame we know that because all prior faiths had varying ethical standards which reflected their age they had very rules that very alcohol was permitted in according to several prophets they didn't have several rules like we did they had different laws the the Jewish people previously had many different laws the Christians what what Jesus came with were varying laws Wiley or Hitler Lombard Olivia hurry Moloch I've come now that the time has changed I will now be making more things halal he said for

1:17:49

you that were forbidden previously why why huh why we asked has God changed no but the people have changed the ethics have changed so Jesus came with change and Jesus came he said Masada Kaleem Urbania the year but I I will affirm that which went before me yet I will still be making more things halal for you so Jonah is saying that what is your opinion right I don't know what your question is Jonah scholars and Islamic

1:18:28

ulama say that Isis fighters have understood surely I felt in the wrong way do you mean that Isis will get rewarded very good question Jonah very good question as the Spanish going a lot of my Spanish is done online by help of Kindle and then by help of watching TV series in Spanish so that's the way a lot of my Spanish girls but sugar and muchas gracias for asking and if you are very well in Spanish reach out to me and insha'Allah we can converse and show

1:19:06

more we can we can speak and get sha la podemos hablar en espanol you get more practice going and as they say that that practica and that it makes somebody perfect in charlotte but let's get back to these questions I I like this question that has been that has been asked about Isis do we believe that they've they will be rewarded of course not

1:19:43

of course not you see Isis are an abomination to Muslims and to mankind as are any extremists including including non violent extremists I anybody that is a disease and a cancer to religion right needs to be called out needs to be called out okay so Isis or any extremists that are promoting a culture of venomous culture of hatred by misrepresenting and they may be sincere

1:20:20

but they're misrepresenting and twisting and turning religion for their own political kind of ends that is what some people call Islamism I don't like the term Islamism but that's what they mean to kind of twist and a religion for your own for a political end the misuse of religion for that now as you see certain other groups doing today any kind of extremist groups that are calling to a global Caliphate and calling to this that we are currently living in a land of war and dar al-harb and and that all

1:20:58

these governments are the hoots and gods of false gods all of these people are extremists they're on a spectrum some are clearly nutcases violent extremists like Isis and some are maybe not over there but they still feed into this whole narrative so people they that has no position and I want to highlight something here it's interesting how the Prophet Mohammed when he condemned when he condemned and this will answer the question as well you see the Prophet Muhammad

1:21:35

condemned idolatry he condemned worshipping false gods he condemned abuse he condemned false religions he condemned these things he did that but his rhetoric was never so kind of strong and and harsh against them like as in he said it's false and it's wrong and so on he did that but when he came to condemn the Huaraz

1:22:11

those that will hold extremist religious views he referred to them as their dogs of Hell fire now I ask you to kind of focus on this looking at discourse analysis once again why would the Prophet you know when condemning other things just condemn them oh they're wrong or this worshipping idols is is wrong or this is false of this is a false god or this is this this doesn't make sense or but why would he condemned the Hawaii

1:22:46

with such kind of loaded rhetoric of saying the drugs of the hellfire why because you see the Prophet the messenger of God Muhammad sallallahu aleyhi wa salem right right Jonah I'll come to that question about the Jews in Mecca first of all there were no Jews in Mecca you're talking about Medina secondly the killing I'll come to that in a moment ok so just to clarify that also Holly don't Moran and all silent

1:23:24

people that's a great mufti Oersted online with us Moran from from us have right there one of these team scholars of al-azhar al-assad so why did right I'm gonna come to that question if you just hold on why did the Prophet do that because the ginger of allah muhammad came as a paragon of mercy for people and i am coming to your question religion this connection this kind of umbilical cord this kind of this connector between the

1:24:00

creator and the creation is so important that anybody that will poison that may result in humanity despairing from religion and this is why the Prophet so harshly condemn these people I'm coming to your question John he condemned these why because these extremists because what they will do is they will poison the well that

1:24:38

humanity needs to drink from the well of faith they will poison that well to the extent that people will will get will lose faith and hope in faith they will lose faith in faith and that is what happened over the ages so this is y and the Huaraz were not contrary some scholars will say the horrid were a particular sect that emerged after the prophet and they call the hawala CH now this hadith is embody but that is not what the Prophet Muhammad was speaking about he didn't say people there will be

1:25:16

this one sect that come because he said they will come at the end of time - they will come right throughout time the Huaraz were extremists so you will get any organization any group any sect any people that are that are pushing religion as a political ideology as a means to control people as a means to imply in kind of restrictions and that are trying to create hatred in the name of religion that are just a fine killing

1:25:54

in the name of religion and people that are striving like groups today anybody you've got what and it begins with political groups whether they including his battalion or any of these that may not call to violence in non-muslim countries but call to it in a particular land right down to Isis all of these people belong to the horik this how are it mentality courage ISM is a mentality it's not a particular sect so people be very wary of these things right now Jonah asked a question about the Prophet Mohammed fighting against the Jews if

1:26:33

that is the case if that is the case Jonah then why you see we have to take a discourse a discursive approach let's look at all of these texts let's look at the the interpretive repertoires let's look at the context because you have in interpretive when you look at Jonah yep sure I'm going to come to that right when you when you look at a text you have sometimes what in discourse analysis we call ideological dilemmas you have contradictions you have to look and analyze right now the prophet muhammad salallahu alaihe salam when he approached he had a huge love for the

1:27:13

Jewish people a huge love and when he came to Medina he embraced their rituals he embraced much of their way of life he found that the Jewish people were pointing in their prayers to Jerusalem he told the Muslims of point to Jerusalem he told he found that the Jewish people would fast on a particular day he told them in in a sahih hadith the Prophet began to style his here as the Jewish people were styling their hair what can you afford oona Shara whom saw The Messenger of Allah began to do it he began to he had

1:27:50

a huge love for them huge love he wrote one of the first the oldest meetha the covenant the pact that was made because yesterday which was the old name of the Medina had a huge Jewish settlement Jewish residents and some Jewish tribes that I'm close to to this to this city or town and Medina he made a pact with them where he said we will defend you till our death and you vice versa if somebody dies in you at your hands for example accidentally we will assist you to pay the blood-money the compensation you

1:28:30

will assist us we will have open trade we will have open this is what the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam - he said that look and he finishes the hadith by saying well 900 matin wahida we have one OMA one nation they the Prophet allowed the Quran said you can have intermarriages knowing that Jewish people believe that when a child is born to a Jewish woman the child is Jewish not to a Jewish father but to a Jewish woman yet the Quran and

1:29:09

authorized that you can do that you can eat their food they can eat you food the Prophet married a Jewish woman and wench one of the complaint one of the wives once made a kind of derogatory remark about her being Jewish the Prophet condemned her strongly so now right so you're asking what about attacking the Jews I've highlighted before go to my previous questions I've highlighted about Banu Qurayza I've highlighted about Bonnie not Eve these incidents that what readers read the the situation

1:29:47

way you had the the attack of the Honda the when the the Muslims in Medina was surrounded and the Battle of the trenches where you had the coalition emerge from many leading massive tribes in Arabia came together to to crush the Muslims and the Muslims had a treaty with Bonica rather that they would support them and they would support them that was made from the first year that the Prophet moved to to Medina yet when the non-muslim when this coalition what known as the azib were trying to break through the trenches and they couldn't

1:30:26

be it was difficult that the people trying to assist them and give them weak spots and locations were who were bunny crave that the tribe of the Jews bunny Qurayza did that and they sided with them and they broke the treaty and if they were successful and some of these the coalition which were were penetrating through they were piercing through but if they were successful they would have butchered every man woman and child in Medina they this was no joke they wouldn't have just said hey you know what what are you doing they would

1:31:03

have butchered them right it would have been a genocide of mass proportions now right so when bunny crater betrayed the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam after the storm came and and kind of dissipated the the crowd and the coalition fell apart and it went away the the Prophet took his companions to Banu Qurayza for this treachery and this was a heinous heinous crime and yet the

1:31:42

Prophet and although some people have raised there is some speculation about the exact of incidents what happened but yet the Prophet did not instruct for the murder he allowed them to arbitrate he said I want you who would you like to judge over you and they knew sad Sodom they knew sad and they said we want sad because they thought he was more lenient to them because he was one of their people before and the Prophet said are you sure you want his judgment whatever he ruled and and they said yes and he

1:32:22

said I feel that every person that was capable of being a combatant an enemy combatant from you it was of age then he deserves capital punishment and execution for such treachery and that was the south so the issue here is that look they chose in an age where they lived with the lures like this were were the laws of the world so you can't look at this from today's perspective and capital punishment for treason even exists today although I'm against

1:33:00

capital punishment but it even exists today in several states including ok not in Europe thank God but it exists even in in the good old US of A so I would just highlight that look it's not so it's important to understand the context and then let's let's go back to the the interactions and only rely upon sound authentic narrations because you tell me right up until the prophets final

1:33:38

moments in the 10th year of hijra years after this event the Prophet is in Medina when the prophet passes away he had left it says for some bags of wheat he had left his shield as a deposit and pawned it with a Jewish trader tell me how does that work the Prophet when he passed away was the ruler the head if you wanna call it of the entire Arabia with taxes coming to him to distribute and yet Jewish people in Medina he could

1:34:17

have confiscated they will how difficult was that to just say hey I want this Jewish person's wealth yet he deposits and pawns his own shield with him to feed his family and this is inside Muslim this is this hadith is inside Muslim and he dies in a state like that leaving his field why have these interactions so I would ask people to to be fair it's important that you don't just buy into when you read something remember this is why today I've been emphasizing a lot of this discourse analysis when you read something online the person posting it

1:34:56

is is trying to push a particular discourse you need to think about them who is pushing this who everybody has a stake in in their discourse do not seriously do not take take nothing for granted somebody could argue that I'm doing the same thing which is true I am but I'm questioning their discourses so let's go back to another question people who god you're a sheep take you talking politics

1:35:37

like I say law books all right Andy well Andy you've been blocked ah there you go right let's get back to another question people what are some of these questions what are we looking at pirating right-wing propaganda Jonah Ramon what he said okay right Jonah right that's enough for now shall la feel free to message me your questions or we'll take it up next time because I got a lot of

1:36:16

questions I've got to get through and I can only get through so many those of you that have just logged in people like this post click share share the live feed let other people benefit and post any questions you have I'll try to get to them okay oh damn I need some drink Arai does the child after reaching the age of puberty belong to the father alone although the father and the mother had the same financial afford afford lived

1:36:52

by financial means right okay now Islam does not dictate who the child belongs to child belongs to both parents okay Islam generally states what this for what you're talking about is what we call today the rights of residents and guardianship and what they may have caught previously custody but this Islam generally refers to as Habana the right of Havana to oversee the nurturing and upbringing of a child they cook we call this in Arabic a bond and how cool

1:37:29

Havana most of the scholars in Islam have always agreed pretty much the huckle Havana always goes to the mother right she generally unless and these caveats obviously if she is you know incapable or she's you know obviously there's different circumcised I'm just explaining the default obviously each case can be individual but by default the mother would be Moo are you wearing a necklace yeah hell yeah okay you need protein more and more I do honestly you drank with your left hand

1:38:06

get a life it's a reverse camera right so god I think I need one of those killer burger meals after this right so half call Havana goes to the mother generally and then they disagree the scholars amongst themselves what happens after the child becomes of a very kind of stable age or reasonably stable age so some people would say well there's joint custody some people would say that oh you know maybe the father some people have said well maybe girls with the mother boys with the father and all of this is really just just

1:38:45

people just passing their judgment for their age it's just human beings people just the human response that's all it is it's just a human response there's no Sharia are kind of guidelines apart from the the hackle Havanna being for the mother by default that's what Islam has said other than that it's all subjective and depends on the case okay so there is no such thing as it belongs to the father only or he belongs to the mother only it doesn't work like that and people I'd like to say I'd like to take this moment out the amount of cases I

1:39:23

see that really pass me by and oh the amount of cases I see and with divorces and things like this what I would say is that my advice is always look people fall out of relationships it's natural don't worry about I mean you can't worry about it but I mean it is natural but that does not mean you have a right to never ever instrumentalize the children to become a kind of I don't know like a pawn in this game of yours okay never do

1:40:01

that that is in my understanding Haram and that works both ways whether it's the father or the mother do not you do that the child has a right to both biological parents okay I'll just explain that right so people Omar what is Omar asking does your hey Chel break will do no it doesn't oh ma my hair gel is stronger than that oh yeah that's what I'm talking about right let's get a question hmm when we say hammoudi had dad has asked when we say the Akama formula does it refer to the

1:40:40

cultural aspects in any country's culture that is not an obligation the man to finance the wife can we say it is also an obligation in Islam respectively you see this kind of stuff Islam this does Islam generally kind of lays a default understand mean by what the world is going by especially when as the Quran is revealed that generally it was a patriarchal society you see if that varies in your culture so in your culture if the women equally work and go out there and they contribute that's fine you know it

1:41:20

doesn't mean that the husband has to but there's a kind of etiquette I guess it's it's more I suppose it's more sociological it's seen as from chivalry and that kind of stuff that the man does provide i but islamically there isn't an imposition in my understanding if the society is different islamically both can contribute financially although I find it as a person very weird you know like I speak to a lot of cases and they'll be I see a lot of I suppose that's just my upbringing but I see sometimes a lot of people will say that

1:42:00

a lot of men will say ok you need to the woman you need to pay fifty-fifty of everything you need to pay for off the bills you need to pay for this unique baby I just find that really weird I mean that's just me I suppose as a person I mean I think if a person was if both people are earning money they should be contribution to the thing but I don't believe in a like obviously if somebody said look like imagine you need shopping and somebody says well I'm not gonna spend my money I think that's just incredibly childish and ridiculous and you need to be questioning their whole

1:42:38

relationship that person needs needs a boarding pass to to kind of and shun the gate get the hell out of here that that kind of attitude is is unacceptable in my understanding but I don't think they needs to be a you know you need to spend fifty percent and I need to spend fifty percent these are just human things you should just have an understanding okay so that's i hope surely being in the public eye you should try I'd say try it close will not look like Johnny Bravo all

1:43:16

right this debate is that you debate debate can I ask you why have you got a name that is a diminutive form of the Arabic word for bata you've got names abate see if you can pull off a name like we just means a small a small chunk of butt butter then why can't I pull off this look you see I have a simple code people you troll you get trolled it's as simple as that

1:47:07

question right do you cut ties oh that's a very good question I want to come to the sugar and Tanvir for a while reminding me sugar and for that if somebody's child apostates by the way nothing but love okay sometimes mock my language my humor love you yeah don't worry buddy okay so no don't don't get offended right the and if you do like I give a damn right so coming back to this right the

1:47:44

thing he's everybody repent shame on you a stop fertilize using this to pick up women and it has Hussein Kamal chaos G happy I'm using this to pick up women your employee you see let's look at discourse analysis discourse analysis now implies times that you are implying that that do I why would I have difficulty picking up women if I wanted C now I would say if we look at a psychoanalytic probe perspective you're projecting and in advocacy or a difficulty that maybe I

1:48:23

don't know maybe you're facing in your life and and you're now projecting that onto right so and if you need any psychoanalytic sessions you can you can you can message me and I can book you in for some sessions so let's get back to this serious question serious question now if somebody's child rejects Islam what should they do what should they do right this is a serious question I have been asked this by a few people that write block

1:49:03

zuwaid you've been blocked right so the thing is that look I have been asked and in the past I have oh that rhymed I have been asked and in the past I've I've even been called by some people to visit and speak to their children who are grown wrong adults I mean when I say children I mean their children but they're not kids they're like you know probably 20 years old or 19 years old or you know stuff like that who have now left and sometimes older

1:49:40

who have now left Islam or and it is it does you know it's but I want to first of all from the offset make it clear the way that's been blocked so no more or about him first of all I'd like to say if somebody some in Islam Islam does give you the right to leave Islam if you felt okay it does give you that right Allah says in the Quran la grotta 15 there is no acree compulsion in this theme okay secondly Allah says that man shot off a loop mean a man shot off a lake for

1:50:18

whosoever wants let him believe whosoever once let him disbelieve right the messenger of allah never forced anybody ever to embrace islam ever in the history is life ever and he had very good kind of opportunities and and and there's a famous hadith in in so he Muslim where he has I think his name is is it forgotten his name its Amala or but he has a he has a prisoner in the messenger of allah so allah listen in

1:50:57

the in his mosque who they have for three days and he tells them off first for not treating him well and he gives him food and everything and then lets him go and he never never imposed islam on him and the person said that would you what if I refuse to accept you know what would you are you gonna force me to be a Muslim and the Prophet said no and then when he left he then said I embrace this theme of this natural Veen of fitrah of my own accord and embraced it so now right so a person can leave Islam

1:51:36

if they do that is their choice it is in my advices do not cut ties with these people do not cut ties with them please that is the the worst thing you could do because you are only isolating them further keep good ties with them look this how did this this faith is a difficult journey honestly I I am I envy people who have such unshakeable faith like I I can't father me like I you know I my mind is riddled seriously with questions

1:52:15

and and like arguments and I don't mean arguments arguments but like like points and and people like different I don't know and questions and so it is natural this is not it is faith so you the questions I have about faith sometimes to me they they ground shaking like they not like easy questions like a night the worst of them is when I mean my philosophical existential moments

1:52:54

soaking in a bathtub seriously that's when I have my worst worst isn't the right word but the strongest existential kind of crises occurred to me I'm kind of like oh my god and so look this is natural people the Prophet when the Sahaba told him this he said this is natural he said that is the prophecy that is pure pristine faith that is it so don't don't get kind so if anybody's struggling with faith don't worry about

1:53:31

it and if you're not sure don't worry look you mean the same to me as a human being if you you know if you lost faith you would still be the same human being to me and in my understanding to Allah because you are at least questioning and being serious see some people are being awkward for the sake of being awkward there is been annoying and irritating that is not correct and I don't appreciate that and I'm sure people don't appreciate that but then you have many people who they genuinely asking questions and I'll I'll be honest with

1:54:10

you a lot of our representives representatives today of islam are appalling examples so so so this is what I would say is that look if somebody does maybe if they've got questions you can put them in touch with people maybe if they haven't they they just need time they just need to breathe let them breathe but you're not cut ties with them as a human being be there for them this is a journey and ok it's not they haven't reached their destination they're just going through life like look the great scholar of Islam

1:54:49

sayfudine about Hassan al-amin II who has many great yes great a great working us all his work if you wanted to study islamic legal theory it is impossible if you want to study seriously it is impossible to do so without going through some of his works great sure for a scholar of the time his book alaikum during they say about him during his lifetime he left islam because he wasn't convinced and then he later on came back i mean they say the same thing about him a mother's early for a certain portion of his life may have left islam or at least bordered on

1:55:28

having me lefty so I would say where I Alex well Alex Barros muchas gracias muchas gracias I appreciate it look I think that today there is a huge reaction from people of faith so many people are faith because their faith is insecure when they see somebody leaving the faith or questioning faith they stomp down on that person almost as a mechanism of reinforcing their own faith and this is almost as a way to keep

1:56:06

themselves safe and this is wrong this is not the way the Prophet Muhammad SAW Allah I leave some other prophets taught faith let people be you know like they'll say there's a person I don't know if he's still on here I don't want to just draw negative attention to him but he he makes a lot of comedy sketches and things like this and and and I appreciate them he openly expresses that is an agnostic and to me that makes no difference you see we are first of all human beings

1:56:45

secondly we're on a bloody very difficult journey of faith and Islam especially I'll be Islam in my understanding and this is what you know you got you have like very famous people like Arthur Clarke and you know sci-fi novelist who also wrote that any religion that truly in the 21st century can stand you know the the test of the age of modernity is only Islam everything else and and I get that you know these Christians on here and they may disagree with that but I'm just giving my perspective that I feel this

1:57:23

is the only faith that can stand the test of modernity but let's face it we are ill-equipped we have very very poor appalling representation most of the people who represent Islam James Harper you've asked the Prophet married I show in shows six or nine he did not she was in her late teens please go to youtube you can type my name musty lathe the most table lathe and write the age of Aisha I've done a very detailed analysis highlighting that to be false so please check that out ok I've done a very detailed and please people if you haven't watched my video watch it share

1:58:02

it get this out there and those of you just logging on like it share this feed get it out there I'm gonna call it a wrap shortly but still my credentials Holly actually in the beginning of the age of Aisha video I go through my whole credentials because I was asked it is on Facebook if you go into my about column you can read all my credentials I am shockingly unfortunately for many people I am a qualified Mufti right which means authorized to issue Islamic rulings you know I know I've spent for years and years in Islam studying the whole Islamic Sciences I am authorized with chains of transmission in the Quran I

1:58:41

have memorized the entire Quran I have read major books of happy from cover to cover gone through the whole system been authorized to teach them and I am authorized in fifth as well I am Malachy in medlab that means it's one of the schools of thought which is the school of Medina which is firmly based on reason right now which really Islam is firmly based on reason so right now okay coming back to - to this ok so ah so this journey is difficult so give people hope ok there was a question on I know somebody said look I've asked for

1:59:20

so many mondays in a row you know you never answer my questions and I'm like damn and I did say I'm gonna get back to it but because it was such a it was kind of like one of these grim or serious questions so I was slightly avoiding it but let's get to it right let's try to answer it because I don't want to right quickly which animal organs are hollow right the animal is hollow you once an animal is hollow all

2:00:00

of its organs are hollow ok so yep so you can eat the liver heart everything thoughts on sunni-shia a marriage I've answered this before what is romance I've answered this in the beginning please do not get offended by that term if you somebody did ask me if you did get offended that's not my intention and somebody did say look they I use this term just as other people use the term like blind and deaf when they and when they're calling somebody that doesn't see something like are you blind they're not insulting blind people so you know in the same way I'm not mean I would never call a person

2:00:39

with disabilities I would never do that ok so when I use that term in my usage of it is only for people who ought to have intellect but are refusing to use it ok so right so if one I wanted to get to this question where's this question that was it was to do with the Imam with come on third Monday in a row Zafar is saying tureen do you think the Salaf had one understanding of a theta when it comes to see fat okay people this is a bit of an a serious question on belief Seifert is a view that Allah has particular kind

2:01:19

of descriptive attributes like yes not descriptive so he has these these things and it's through these things he is what years so for example Allah has the attribute of power and through that attribute he is all-powerful Allah has the actory of sight and through sight he is all seen this water craig blackburn water right so this kind of view this is what they call Seifert in arabic and it is part of a theological discourse right now most

2:01:58

Muslims believe these things to be honest with you these things are not mentioned in the Quran awesome man at all in fact none of the cell if none of the generations after the Prophet ever spoke of these terms there was no such thing as I thought in my understanding you do not need to believe like this about God you can if you want you can just believe in God in a very simple way right you do not need to say God is all-seeing because he must how is he all seeing hmm he must be all-seeing because he has this thing called vision now because he has vision he's old you don't need to do these kind of things okay but so and the

2:02:35

self did not believe in these things there's no documentation of them ever speaking of this attribution of savate or this word Seifert or this concept of God being who is through this medium this does not exist this is today massively pushed by the salafiyyah and it is part of the humbly creed right the the other schools of theology like the ash Hadees and the Matsuri these they kind of accept some and reject the rest I would say for us allah wa sahlan right this I would say that this does

2:03:13

not it is not in the Quran or the Sunnah or any of the sellers so imam malik speaks extensively on issues he never brings up this thing never tells you how to believe in God so I would say that this kind of stuff is later developments if you want to embrace it you can you don't have to and we need to sometimes question these things as well from that discourse analysis perspective why were people doing this and this comes to the second question that did Imam Ahmed even humble have a radically different understanding in regards to see what each Imam Abu Hanifa because I have read about different narrations attributed to

2:03:51

him by his son it seems highly highly anthropomorphic in my understanding the stuff that is attributed to Imam Ahmed even humble the stuff attributed to him is anthropomorphic that is true that is correct now some ham bellies have claimed that that is a false attribution and he wasn't really like that this was a latter-day engineering of some humbly scholars who were very kind of anthropomorphic and they this was their rendition their doing of this and then

2:04:27

they kind of retrospectively impose this on to Imam Ahmed so whether he did or not but some of the views attributed to him are anthropomorphic that what that means is they treat God as though he's a human being and gave him body parts so this whole discussion of body parts okay and stuff like this right now right so that's the that's the whole point right now just to did Imam Ahmed was he knew in this if these views are true to be his then yes he was kind of new in this

2:05:07

discussion because Imam Malik definitely did not believe like that neither the imam abu hanifa they did not believe that things like you see so the question arises in imam ahmed time and just before him a bit about the quran he it created or uncreated and I've answered this in much depth previously you can check that V right now in my apartment the Muslims really don't know what to say because there wasn't really much guidance on this so imam ahmed decides to take a stance in saying that it's uncreated now what does that exactly mean that it's uncreated because this doesn't really mean much and there's a

2:05:46

whole Inquisition and it's really not really a major inquisition as far as inquisitions really go it's just a bit of a it was really a very political stunt and i've spoken about this previously you can check it out in much more detail but imam ahmed takes this stance that the quran is uncreated now what does that mean because Muslims generally believed that God was uncreated so are there two things that were uncreated now so what imam ahmad said was that yeah but this is the speech of god so what does that mean and then he I believe was part of the scholars that then engineered this construct of saying well

2:06:25

you see that's because the speech is then the attribute of God so they had to come up with this construct to defend this position the stance that they had taken right now red bull people red bull right so they had taken so this stance it is generated around Imam Ahmed Stein I don't know whether he is the sole pioneer but he definitely played a role in bringing this kind of new world view about amongst Muslims also in documenting Creed creed starts to get documented a

2:07:03

lot more now once again when we're looking at Muslim creed we ought to really take a very discourse analysis approach in questioning a lot of things okay so right so okay I hope this that makes some sense and then people started to say a lot of things and they start to discuss a lot of Creed and what did the early companions actually believe we don't really know I guess because it's difficult we know they believed when the Prophet was asked what to Eve he highlighted the cool things that's all I say you have to believe the Prophet said that you believe in Allah

2:07:42

you believe in his messengers you believe in Revelation you believe that Allah has that he has used these means or this creation called angels you believe in an afterlife and you believe that Allah is ultimately in control that's it he never said anything beyond that now all right people tea is in the house tea I don't sound and the shekel calm people sure hold on right now those people by the way are just gonna I'm going to finish this I'll come back with a message that just reminds me right so

2:08:19

this is this this is what the Prophet taught about Islam about what to believe now Crete Creed was not developed till centuries after the Prophet almost at least over two to three almost 300 years after the Prophet does Creed become really codified and you get a long list of what you now must believe to be upon Orthodox Islam otherwise nobody look think about it you've got volumes and volumes of of books being written by

2:08:56

Muslims in the time of the just after the Companions the terpene the Attwater veins or in imam abu hanifa sty minimum Malik's time huge books are being written look at him a Muhammad's books in Muhammad's books that he writes the waha Dori why at the six books huge books about if you buy and sell or if I rent this for a month or if this person said this or if I get married like this so if I divorce or inheritance or here's a new crime and new crimes and new scenarios and Imam Malik's Madonna which is transmitted from him these come from what they call the SEMA summer hat which

2:09:34

are the raw documents of where people would take the kind of writs the kind of documents that people would take the ruling from him al Malik there were tons of them so many books went on to kind of document these this summer at these draft kind of copies the the Madonna was just one of them the much more are the the kind of the motifs are the the so many the more was yeah there ought to be yeah all these kind of different books in none of an imam malik addresses sex he addresses different beliefs he writes his own book called the Mokpo other people are writing books not one place do they

2:10:13

teach you what muslims ought to believe beyond just these key things about believing allah his prophets revelation and afterlife allies in control that's it not in one place do they tell you the beliefs of what muslims are ultimately they don't even have a word to define what the main body of muslims are called this word atlas sunnah doesn't appear till of between two to three hundred years after the Prophet Muhammad's Allah Islam for the first two three centuries nobody has this term nobody even has a term for the main roster and terms are

2:10:52

important why go back to discourse analysis because when you bring definitions you have to look at the power positions you are kind of offloading power and defining lines determining orthodoxy and you get to determine who is no longer orthodoxy so or who is no longer Orthodox and part of the orthodoxy so it's important to understand these things now it's so this argument doesn't stand this argument does not stand that oh that's because the companions in the early Muslims were primitive and they weren't writing books

2:11:32

that is not true they wrote a hell of a lot most of our sources go back to the writing and they were writing volumes in this day and age imam Alex won't look at that no I did was he at that you know what it was here that is the translation sorry the transmissions of Imam Malik sorry Wyatt I got robbed they how the earth says in its day and age this these are the rewired in other than the mood awana so in the non mood over night school and no other was the other Lemar fear area mm-mean LM afraid L don't wanna team in an Omaha so the non

2:12:10

model wanna books of Imam Malik dive rate change in its day and age in its day and age called the yard says it was a hundred volumes long today it's 15 thick volumes with our modern day paper so now these people were transmitting a lot in my malik was teaching a lot yeah he doesn't teach what beliefs are he doesn't teach about greed because the truth is creed although it is important but it came to set a discourse it came to establish control over who no longer

2:12:49

is part and to excommunicate other people so he had a huge kind of there was a lot of power structures involved in things like this not so much a polo creed but yeah so anyway i hope that somehow wall people whoa look at the time man look at that so guys i want to say before we go i want to say something that is that it's to do with the the the tragedy and the massacre and the genocide of the Rohingya people in Miami or Burma right I want to say that look

2:13:29

it is it is a failing of modern-day human civilization that that can that that is taking place my my heartfelt the ours and I'm sure the heartfelt thoughts and the aahs of all human beings let alone Muslims is and should be and ought to be with them okay right so and you know may Allah make their plight easy malar replace the difficulties with infinite joy and abundant bliss

2:14:09

you see I I'm saying this from the very to express this okay it is a very difficult time I don't I don't watch hard I don't watch any of the videos I see on social media to do with them because it's just very upsetting okay I don't like to see photos of babies massacred and butchered and beheaded and stuff like this okay now that said I want to clarify that look can Muslim people because I'm seeing this with Muslim people stop

2:14:47

guilt-tripping other Muslims please stop doing that okay it is no it doesn't do anything it may give you a personal kind of 5-minute boost by trying to say hey at least I'm good I'm telling people off but it is not your right it is not your place Allah is not it is not you cannot do that okay you have zero rights to guilt-trip people so if you see some people on Facebook having a good time or on Instagram or run wherever don't start this hey what the hell are you doing

2:15:24

about the Rohingya situation what can they do what can they do they can do nothing so look it is yes those people are are in our thoughts and prayers but it doesn't mean that we become zombies Islam didn't teach us to become zombies Islam didn't say oh we should still it is an token of appreciation a token of gratitude to God that we still we still embrace and we celebrate the benefits

2:16:04

and the happiness in life that we have that is important that we still partake in the happiness we have this is a token of gratitude to God for what we have there is nothing wrong in fact one of the tours one of the doors that comes in the hadith alhamdulillah D hat now al hamdulillah TR thana minimum Salah he was a loner I like a theorem Inman Holika Tov Villa that is a cyi hadith that the Prophet said when somebody had told him about that they knew some

2:16:40

suffering that that's thank God that He has given you I fear that he has protected you rightly from such an affliction from such a tribulation well for talena and he has given you so much more mimma then he has given other people other other creation so partaking in your blessings being happy is a token of gratitude to God do not feel guilty for being happy that is wrong nobody has that yes if I am in control inflicting harm on

2:17:20

somebody yes that's wrong tell me to fix my behavior tell me to do something that is true but me sitting here somebody sitting in power is somebody sitting in London sitting in I don't know New York or California someway they can't do anything about wrong in here there are india crises yes they can maybe contribute some charity they can do maybe give some money but look a lot of people are also sometimes worried that the charity doesn't reach thee that bothers people as well people we've lost trust in a lot of our institutions and

2:17:59

okay yes they can write to their local MPs and then people are doing that people are do doesn't mean everybody has to do it so I've seen people somebody commented on I did a course this last weekend which share a crumb and somebody commented saying you know what on earth are you doing about the the Miami kind of the Burma situation I was like what what kind of a bloody question is that I thought how dare you ask what a stupid question what the hell are you doing about the ozone layer I mean walking what kind of a stupid dumb question is that I'm not in charge I I couldn't do

2:18:37

anything right so listen you have to understand some people are misusing these crises to call towards a kind of political agenda oh if we had a global Caliphate what kind of nonsense global Caliphate fantasy are you feeding Muslims in this frenzy of yours what kind of global Caliphate like the Ottomans it was in global India Rohingya the Burmese Muslims and the Indian Muslims were never part of a Caliphate system they were always part of India they weren't part of any Ottomans or

2:19:17

Abbasids or Safavids or they were part of that right when Tipu Sultan Tipu Sultan rebelled against the British he wrote to the Ottoman the letters are still in the archives today he wrote to the Ottomans what did the Ottomans tell him they told him you're wrong for fighting against the British because the British are Ottoman allies they told him the real enemy are the French you ought to be fighting against the French is that who you're talking about what kind of don't feet do not you know do not lie to Muslims do not give them a false fantasy of hope this kind of like

2:19:54

it illusive kind of like oh if we had this global kind of dictatorship it would solve everything hello how do you know it wouldn't be it would be an absolute nightmare because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely so do not give what kind of a global oh you mean like in the time of salahuddin Oh a UB when he wrote to Yahoo bellman surah-e-yusuf alwa he D when he wrote to him saying that o our Jerusalem is being attacked and ya urban monsoon was sitting on one of the largest Muslim Kelly Kelly fights of his time known as

2:20:34

the more hot dynasty which ruled up to a third of Africa had a great kind of naval element to it and had al-andalus ruled the Iberian Peninsula into Europe and parts of that when Salahuddin AUB wrote to him that can you send us some naval support and he said no why should we he said the Christian Crusaders of attack so immutable okay said our thoughts and prayers are with you but other than that we're not sending you anything I mean what can't look muslims are just human beings we're not this kind of like like we're just human and we have always been

2:21:12

like that we're not any different so look do not give do not give this do not give this false kind of elusive this illusory dream to people and then tell them because why is this dream wrong because then you tell them all to set this up help us in our campaign to what we'll do is we're going to what we're going to do is set up a global Caliphate and then this leads to other ridiculous atrocities I'm saying this

2:21:47

somebody said bro chill out right I already did that cash shift you see this is my point I already did that if you miss that it isn't my problem okay now the reason I'm saying this because I'm witnessing this and somebody needs to say God god damn it somebody needs to say that it's wrong that stop you know if people want to be happy let them be happy if they have no influence over something they have no influence over okay so anyway if you do want to get involved in local charities that is a great thing there are many people many

2:22:27

great local charities somebody usually always logging on online right cash if Matt Lord right just to block you to start off with right I've established that when I said it's not our problem it is our problem as a human problem and as Muslims to create awareness and to do something yes so as a state so as like heard again has said that's something I absolutely admire him for what he did he said to Bangladesh open up the borders we will pay you we will support you

2:23:06

financially that is doing something you you sitting in London or Paris or New York unless you happen to be the president of a country or influential in that Sofia you cannot do something what you can do is might maybe get involved in charity or make the art for them but that's you don't need to start crying non-stop that is not that that's not the Islamic thing to do to just cry so when Muslims in Makkah was suffering it didn't mean that Muslims in Medina weren't having a good time they were as well but they were in their thoughts and in their prayers so I'm not saying that look oh we don't give a damn about them I didn't say that do not twist my words

2:23:46

I began by making a door and saying that this deeply troubles us but it doesn't mean that we refuse to live life with all its happiness we do and we're grateful for them so that's my point okay so I hope that of some help in sha Allah so each to their own capacity that was the purpose of me saying this and if you do want to again get involved in charity that is a great thing is of immense reward now YCO somebody who is usually online somebody I can locally definitely vouch for he's somebody who
