9:43

poetry anything so people alright so no no no no no no no can you hear that is

10:30

an epic young amazing absolutely

11:24

okay see what I have to deal with people do I need psychiatric assistance at this age this one I'm in advanced I can warn you is unfortunately a serial killer Joe Joe

12:02

Joe Joe Joe ticket in the Rosa Mankato see now I'm at a stage now where I have to hear the politics so she'll tell me politics like Oh such-and-such my friend is doing this and she's no longer my friend and this person's not I don't know how to I don't matter process this stuff anyway let's let's move on to some of the questions people so what is going on I'll come back to I'll share a little

12:41

poem a little later on people Holly the dawn people the dawn but first of all let's take a look at this world war three a lot of law office I don't believe it's World War three rocket so we can relax relax Sean oh joy Sean Sean it's not World War three however I don't think that you know that it's it's obviously a very sad disappointing start to to a new decade where Trump decides

13:21

to do the very thing which he had said which he had said that Obama was doing so if you remember that now right so you know so this he's killed the head of the chief kind of commander of the cuts military intelligence force which is so in Iran they've got like their Revolutionary Guards and they've got

14:00

loads of different departments if you like I mean you can say departments but they're actually entirely different kind of categories so amongst them is like a military intelligence so they're equivalent of let's say the CIA or ISI you're different they're equivalent so that meant be the hood forces and head of that was Qasem Soleimani now he's been assassinated by a drone strike I think that's I'm personally I'm against all kinds of these extrajudicial

14:38

killings and that America or any country conducts I like completely condemned that so I mean I'm with everybody on that condemnation that said I I don't some people have felt this guy was maybe like a super saint I don't think personally think he was I I don't think he was I mean just the nature of anybody in charge of a an intelligence e'er I don't think people understand what intelligence is dude if they did they realize a cha-cha-cha this

15:16

one not nice these are quite you're very kind of horrific kind of people I think they have to be to lead an intelligence here because it involves things like torturing people it'll involve spying on people killing people it'll involve all this kind of stuff and Qasem Soleimani although I'm not a specialist on him by any standard but I from what I've heard was no different you know I mean a lot of the the kind of attacks on several people within Iraq within Syria within these kind of things were I believe he had some role to play in things like this that said that's it so I don't

15:56

believe he was like you know Saint pass him money I don't believe he was like olya I mean olya in what may be they say by the way I don't think this is a Sunni Shia difference yet but maybe some people may disagree but that said I don't feel that justifies an assassination like this okay I feel that they should you know peace due process I so I don't agree even if he wasn't a good person even if I mean who is good anyway what is good

16:35

mean obviously there's a scale spectrum so but that said even if he was responsible for all these kind of things it still doesn't justify this and that too to kind of potentially trigger a kind of war if there was a war if there is a war let's say in all honesty it will just be another Iraq Iran can't really harm the USA I mean I'm just being in my sense objective I don't feel

17:13

that in this day and age you see the USA is it's too remote it's too far removed all of its wars are kind of like proxy wars so it will fight in Iran although Iran is a very difficult terrain to have because it's kind of guarded with mountains all around and it's a difficult terrain for land warfare but they would just kind of bomb into it from the Mediterranean from Iraq from different bases and the Iranians would just fight the American soldiers that

17:50

are in Iraq for example but that said you're wrongly doing military harm to the USA whereas the USA would be doing I mean catastrophic kind of harm to Iran by it would be doing infrastructural harm it would be doing civilian harm it would be doing military hah I mean it would be like seriously on a removed scale it would be like a grown man fighting a child that's how it would be

18:27

but even though in the Middle East the American soldiers will die but on the you know on the kind of zoomed out scale on the greater picture of things it wouldn't harm America per se but it would just create another kind of vortex and a kind of vacuum once again within the Middle East that would could potentially disrupt the dynamics of the global [Music] global Nations really that especially those that surround it or those that trade through it because Iran does

19:06

because of the Strait that it has control of it does it could kind of start you know we could start blocking off certain ships because they go through through that straight I don't know but I don't think it's gonna turn to that because I don't think Iran is stupid I think it knows as well that it's very unfortunately in a very handicap situation and I think America knows that as well so that's why it's gone ahead and done this and Trump and this is what you get for you know the Americans for voting in a bloody

19:41

megalomaniac tyrant despot of a of a of a ruler I mean this is the president of POTUS and he's just like a child in a man's body that's what around it very very very bad and we very very angry yes like his vocabulary's like that of a seven year

20:17

old or a six year old but yeah so that's very unfortunate though so there's that which has been going on somebody said doesn't Iran have nuclear weapons it doesn't have nuclear weapons I think according to reports it would take them about a year to to obtain nuclear weapons but even then Iran couldn't really do anything with those weapons he doesn't understand that the military capacity is ridiculous America okay so from when you see the thing is from a

20:54

weapons capacity they are just way too powerful way too powerful and too distant so and nobody wants a nuclear warfare because if you try to release some nuclear they can you imagine the retaliation it would be ridiculous but yeah now I mean may God have mercy on on us all I mean all right so that's Iran there was the Australian bushfires people I hear there's been some rain storms and that's brought some peace may

21:31

Allah save deliver the animals and the people that are caught up or being affected by those bush fires our thoughts and dasu with them right so what else is going on people what else is going on according to Abu Hanifa tequila would be allowed since it is not come on tequila karaoke tequila what is going on right role of Pakistan role of

22:10

Pakistan Pakistan is not in a position to have a role Pakistan's caught up in its own messes and Pakistan is not an ally of Iran you must remember that in fact they have a lot of tension if you just remember going back to the whole Palama bombing in Kashmir on one front there was India and on the other front Iran had kind of escalated tension at the border if you remember that that's only a few months ago and then Pakistan had to kind of like have some discussions and say people commit you know Calma take Almaty tranquilo tranquilo

22:48

so a short radiation right most easy to shape them asks is it true it's for to pray in congregation in the Maliki method no it's not fun to pray in congregation it is Sunnah it is a son of the Prophet that said Imam Malik himself for the last 25 years of his life didn't pray in congregation he didn't attend the Masjid he didn't pray Jim I don't do he just did his own thing

23:27

he was like this is my thing Imam this is this is what way Maliki we follow Imam Malik's like why are these guys bothering me he's like trying to get away well Imam Imam Malik was a legend he was a legend right so what is going on is the Islamic rationalism the same as the

24:00

martyrs II light movement Mansour right so right so is it the same not at all you know this martyrs a light thing I've answered this on many occasions it's very misunderstood by people you have to understand that this Deen of ours is built on reason people this theme is built on reason okay you must understand that this mater see light

24:38

thing began as an extremist kind of faction within the Muslim kind of community so these were a bunch of people who began by saying if you commit any major sin you are no longer a Muslim this is what broke this team hence this group of action of sect hence they became known as Mozilla the isolationists okay then it was a Louanne in us okay so they became a teaser means

25:15

to kind of remove yourself okay so it is Allah yazi loot Mezzaluna right the verbal noun it is those of you that are studying Arabic right so and from it comes the word those of you that would know is isin [Music] özil which comes in many of the teachings is when the person he pull out him how he pull out in Oland baby you know this one they call it hazel they

25:54

actually do so it comes in the hadith literature about the people that were doing as at the time so they asked the Prophet that what you know the these people are doing nozzle but isn't it destiny and and so they asked in a hadith so that Asin so the martyrs in are not people who pull out like necessarily they may be they may not be but what they are is they're isolationists not just withdraw withdraw

26:28

lists right so the martyrs Allah so they were an extremist faction people you've got to understand that okay so now what it is is that they later on kind of resorted to reason otherwise initially the Sunni community the main body of Muslims were a people of reason okay so and what started to happen is the martyrs illa who initially this belief

27:08

is this belief of the first belief is this belief of of almansi Labine or manzil attained so if anybody commits a sin no longer a muslim and then later on they've kind of added these are the beliefs and what they began to do was satirize mock ridicule some beliefs or some opinions or some hadith that appeared to them so in reaction what some Sunni only started to do was they started to

27:44

cement further those beliefs what they ought to have done was championed that point but what they began doing was saying oh you're relying on your uncle [Laughter] is it created this dogmatist kind of camp among Sunnis now that dogmatism then seems to it like this is maybe about four hundred years after the Prophet and then it started to spread and religion and is you know easily spreads on the back of dogmatism

28:23

so dogmatism its it finds fertile ground in religious communities anyway so we easily spread so people start to say oh no these people usually uncle oh oh and then everybody started go oh they use the apple you think hobby Sally what do you use why are they being ridiculed for using the intellect I mean never in human history people ever been ridiculed

28:59

for using intelligence and intellect so and with that people and it transpired you know at the hands of religion that even the intellect was demonized so this is a ridiculous thing so what it is is because some clergy some clerics some mullahs movies they can't answer questions so what they do is because they get stuck so there aren't says oh you using your uncle

29:36

oh we're not allowed to use up on why do you go back to climbing trees because I think homo sapiens have come a long way with this cognitive revolution that's it mine right so people what's these people saying am i a Mufti Here I am unfortunately for some of you yes

30:15

people yes so what else is going on somebody said baby lotion the baby lotion said utterly satanic you know that's the greatest trick the devil ever did is to make you think that you can't rely on reason so what you do is rely on the reason of somebody else that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard you know when you think about it that is so stupid and dumb which brings me to another discussion I was having with

30:52

some some of the lads I was wondering that do you think a stupid person knows that he's stupid he doesn't they wouldn't would they and it's not even that they probably think that they're really intelligent they probably think

31:21

it's the world that's dumb thinking about it but I don't think I don't think stupid people actually know that they're stupid in a way that's a kind of I don't know is that a blessing or is that like I don't know that's would you rather

31:59

know or rather not know damned if you do damned if you don't ah so what else is going on me ain't there baby lotion what's your trajectory for the do Bundy's Musti mm good question good question this this one good question the do Bundy's within the UK and the West by extension but I can specifically speak about the UK they really

32:37

unfortunately are a sinking ship so it hasn't sunk yet but it is sinking okay so I think they are a divided people and so there are some amongst them have that have began to realize that this ship is sinking so we need to do something we need to get hold of a life raft or a different boat and we need to jump boats we need to do something we need to be evacuated from this ship there are

33:17

others who are maybe in denial that they think no our Aqaba team they had so much wisdom that akaviri means elders that you know we will cling to the everything and all that will happen is they will just become dinosaurs within this community and it's already happening it's already we are not at the beginning we're quite well into the beginning of this so we can see around us that

33:55

they've lost regular muslims have kind of lost hope they don't relate to that with them they they don't identify with them they don't see them as people that would that you could be yourself with most of these they openly Madhuri's and Bray V Mathiason essence but there ain't that many bravely Medeiros but most of the deal when the authorities are fail or failed institutions today unfortunately I mean that's because they don't change you see they're not they not they so stubborn to

34:33

adapt and remember in adaptation lies our survival that has been the story of mankind that if you adapt to your environment you will survive now yes many Carroll hum bruh it t ha scale this is the human history of evolution so

35:07

people why did Allah create angels Mufti you see these things angels demons there's two ways of looking at this okay one way is I'm just right I'm just checking

35:38

one moment right now so I'm just checking at the same time because my facebook doesn't seem to he seems to come up as though I don't know if people on Facebook can actually see me but it seems to show on my end as though it's not working so I don't know okay so it's working more fine but on my end is showing that the stream is ended that's not a problem so long as it

36:16

hasn't the rest the rest is history Allah as the poet says people he says either noonim 'uncle would fail Bakke Hey well cool Livi focus Robbie drop a la montaña B he says that if so long as we have you love that's all that matters the rest he says that which is above dust is dust epoch these they thought

36:56

they thinking how's me so people what are we taking a look right I was speaking about I was speaking about angels and demons there's two ways of looking at these people one way one ways like this you're looking at it like this one ways like okay now seriously mister

37:30

okay two ways one way is is it's in a very it's in a very literal textual understanding that angels are these creatures demons are creatures they made out of some substance angels are may a substance made out of light demons are fire things like this that's one way and I think if you there's nothing wrong with either of these ways okay but I'm just telling you

38:09

that this is one way the other way to understand this is that this is kind of this is a depiction to make things kind of palatable that you can digest them but really it's referring to kind of complex forces and the forces may not be that I mean they they exist as a force so they do exist but their existence is not this kind of 3d existence that you think or maybe it is 3d in its own sense so things like so for

38:48

example one would ask two insinuations exist insinuations are these kind of ideas that we get all these kind of suggestions these are a precognitive level doo doo insinuations exist of course they exist but are they a little person that's inside your head that's you know no it's but where do they exist are they simply do they exist on you know are they on the axons are they within the neurotransmitters are they the synaptic you know are they what the synapse we're are they are they within a particular

39:28

lobe the temporal lobe the occipital lobe the prefrontal cortex are they within I mean do they reside within the amygdala within we are where are these things it doesn't work like that you understand so they are real but it depends what do we mean by real so this understanding is that the depiction that is given whenever they are referred to as a kind of like an animated body that

40:05

is simply like terrible famine in Arabic it's called terrible famine like it's something that is to make the idea closer to home for you so you can embrace it it doesn't actually mean that it's it's kind of literally like that so so so these two approaches exist when it comes to things like angels demons Shaitaan for example that would all be a part of that that is Shaitaan a literal person not a person

40:44

but I kind of a demon person if you like an individual is he an individual that actually sits somewhere on a throne and has these army of demons or is he a horse of negativity that is being referred to as the devil that and we seem to have this destructive force of negativity with with us you know even when you look at all kinds of different Sciences one can look at psychoanalysis okay the it'd okay well we're is this it

41:22

coming from you no one can look at other mythologies that don't really believe in a demon in that said look at you can look at Hinduism and Shiva you know that the mighty the one who is responsible for destruction but yet yet you see it's what I'm trying to say is that all traditions seem to acknowledge that there is this force and they seem to personify this force in different ways so whether it's atheists whether it's

42:01

psychologists psychoanalyst Freud you know with the aid whether it's other people whether it's going to be things like the shadow with young whether it's going to be other kind of traditions or other religions that are speaking about it or whether it's going to be a within Islam this concept of shared pain and beliefs and the concept of the nafs and the concept of all of these things so that one way of looking at it that these are simply allegorical or kind of

42:37

personifications of negative forces that do exist if undeniably that negativity exists and the other way of looking at it is no this is not just a personification this is an actual being not just in that sense as a force but as a kind of individual a person almost so these two tradish the two perspectives exist I feel and I feel both are from Islamic perspective valid I don't feel that either are invalid per se I think

43:17

you know it's each to their own ok so that's my way of of looking at these things right but I don't know maybe people would and this this hadith to prove this by the way don't get--don't kind of just in case you're up in arms this hadith like the prophet sallallahu sallam said in a hadith when somebody when he suspected that's you know people were kind of thinking he said in the shaitaan aug demon apne adam majority' that the Shaitaan he is the veins of human beings what does that mean he's in

43:55

the veins of human beings so once again Camp AE would feel that oh he literally resides within our blood like there's little entities of like let's say at a microbial level that there are demons that that are actual beliefs and Shaitaan so that's that camp the other camp would understand this as that kind of negativity and this force this which is even today by science we don't fully understand where does precognition come from we do these ideas that come to us come from we don't fully understand that

44:32

not within psychology today not yet God knows what the future has to hold but yes so that's my thoughts on that so I don't believe that you have to believe in it that way but likewise you can if somebody does I wouldn't I mean I personally would probably incline more towards it being a force and it's more a personification of negativity and things like that and forces that are at play within the universe are described as angelic and things like this so it's a kind of narrative logical approach the

45:11

other way is a more literal approach and if people I know most Muslims do take it literally not all but most would take it as an actual there's a being that does this and he is a person and he like a demon and but I mean I think each to their own each to their own so right now okay let's move on to the next question somebody asked can you explain the Quranic son approves or evidences to support your concept of trajectory hermeneutics you see

45:48

trajectory hermeneutics people I've got a very detailed video explaining this so if you do search my name on YouTube and you search you know trajectory hermeneutics so I'm off table eighth trajectory hermeneutics it'll come up and I've got a detailed video going into what is trajectory hermeneutics and house it's substantiating you see let me sum it up for you've quite briefly everybody agrees on right okay in fact let's take a step back let's take a step back

46:26

trajectory hermeneutics simply defined means that the Sharia continues to change with the day and age so the rulings change that the it's not the the rulings are based on their social outcomes they are not based on a kind of divine I mean the revelation is a divine kind of vehicle if you like but the rules per se were not necessarily divine they were just based on the social customs of the people where the revelation came to so for example drinking alcohol was forbidden although

47:05

God didn't always this one is not an absolute I although I'm not disagreeing with this ruling today I'm still in sync with that incase you misunderstand me but this is not an absolute otherwise Allah would have always disliked drinking alcohol but he didn't so one could argue well you know because the Sharia law says liquor lindana men who shall atone women Hodja we placed a different Sharia for each prophet so they had their own rules so it doesn't go to so the rules say in this understanding could not be

47:43

something that was divinely sought as in from pre-eternal II from you know from from pre time because if that was the case then why was humanity up until 1400 years ago not really addressed with these rules why wasn't Jesus at Liesl I'm teaching these rules why was he only teaching what was before him and then abrogating that which went before him and Moses teaching something different and people before him Abraham teaching something different why were were these you know if these rules were the end of it all now so we take a step back and we

48:20

look at the Sharia so this is right so the Sharia is the set of rules that we have now these are toolbox to make these rules okay let's this is allegory and metaphorically speaking in case somebody goes toolbox was a book or you know people this is a massage gun right good

48:59

two books for India this is an in case you're thinking a different kind of toy but it's a it's a very powerful massage erection but anyway look so there's a toolbox everybody agrees on the toolbox so everybody agrees that this the Sharia was designed for the welfare of humanity that it looked out for the welfare we all recognize that the Prophet made exceptions he changed the rules on several occasions we all recognize this that this was within the toolbox everybody recognizes this does not

49:38

matter who they are so the Prophet would change rules he who himself was a legislator so for example when the Prophet is asked you know about Hajj and he says it's then and somebody says a fake only I mean yo solo is it obligatory upon us in every each year in every and each year and the Prophet says love Altona larger but if I'd said yes it would have become you see so he himself is legislating now he's taking rules from situations people around them customs so the deer the the blood money in the Sharia was invented by in the pagan times it wasn't

50:17

something divine it was already there the Arabs are already doing this give a hundred camels and so on some of the Hajj customs were from pagan traditions the meeting out of her the way used to this was how the other tribe used to meet there because of trade it wasn't a something holy holy in that sense I'll you know they may have considered it whole in in the pagan times but what I'm trying to say is that there were many traditions that existed before and the Prophet the trade rules they were just trade rules how the Arabs had set them they weren't something like how God was saying well okay introducing a whole new banking system for example it wasn't like that

50:56

now everybody accepts the Prophet was doing things he was making exceptions he was doing things as he was going along nobody denies this I mean when I say nobody okay by and large by and large the majority of Muslims so this toolbox exists the Prophet use this and he taught us that this is the toolbox way they disagree is do we inherit the toolbox this is where they disagree so the Maliki ax the school of Medina Imam Malik's mother they believe that we

51:32

inherit the toolbox as well not just the kind of mechanism that we have the toolbox to adjust the mechanism as we're going along the humble ease most of them agree with the Maliki zombies whereas the hanafis and the Schaffer he's completely disagree they say that we don't get the toolbox so we only get the mechanism the toolbox kind of disappears with the Prophet so this is the point of this agreement between the scholars this is where trajectory hermeneutics comes in

52:10

because if you believe that we inherit the toolbox then you would believe that we continue to amend as the DNA changes so hence you get and there's many like so for example save now a little dial on changing rules within the Sharia according to his day and age saying things like let's say for example this concept of indemnity where you carry liability so a tradesman in the time of the Prophet didn't be a liability if you gave him a product line let's say I let's have a tailor for example or I'm

52:49

somebody I'm a mechanic in this day and age example although back then they never had that but they had tailors or they had people that would make things like carpenters and so if you gave them let's say you went to a carpenter back then in the time the prophet and you gave him some wood or you gave a tailor some cloth and you said to him I want you to work on this I'll come back next week and clicked it now let's say that got damaged he was not liable okay because according to the Sharia he had year do amanhã so you entrusted him and trust the 4 cancels liability now that's according to the Sharia but in save now at least

53:27

time he said people have become corrupt so now we will change it and do told me Nell so now so these people will now become liable because people are there's negligence so he changed the Sharia I like that it's man really allow unchanged the Sharia in several aspects Omar will be alone unchanged the the Sharia what are for example he said oh I will start lashing people for temporary marriages now Palach 3 the locks he said now the lock is haram in his time 3 the locks you see people were changing the Sharia as the day and age

54:05

came but after the Companions did this huge disagreement how can amongst the scholars that do we inherit these toolbox this toolbox or no so the Maliki mother believes that we do and hence Imam Malik continues to kind of key a lot of these kind of rulings and and even the Maliki method later on is one of the most kind of creative methods then so it had people like a broke-ass I'm Alberto Lee who comes like 700 to 800 years after the Prophet who said that oh that the punishments in his day and age would change and he was sure whole Islam of his time and after him a few generations you have people I had

54:44

not known who was a Maliki who said that inheritance the wife inherits now fifty percent it's not that small percent anymore and this is way before the European so you know he's like from four hundred years ago so he's not influenced by Europe or all modernity so you see that the Maliki continued this trend okay some of the Hannibal Urdu as well so this is an arm obviously of the school of Medina all right so I'm in line with that so that's a summary but I have got a detailed video on it as well

55:20

59:12

59:51

consensual you know this on it's permissible you know so people some one of the brothers here is asking Hasan abbot Mufti what takes one out of Iman Oh the brother has asked this so many times that he's about to be taken out of the YouTube chat what takes one out of Iman look what I would say is relax take a lotta tranquila tranquila Shawn totally

1:00:29

you don't leave Iman so easily okay faith is your face people only take it it's yours nobody's gonna check you out relax just ask yourself do I believe in God I do plus bottom there's nothing more to really say you know it's the whole thing has the conversation is finished it's as simple as that don't worry about other people trying to choke you out the fold as I've said before this isn't anybody's dad's Dean that they can check

1:01:06

us out just because they want so yeah but speaking about I did say let me see if I can mmm Allah people Deewani Holly I did say I'll explain one two lines of poetry in each session some people have asked check this out Holly is quite complex people he's quite

1:01:44

complex and you have to sometimes understand so he says zoomit kadai memory of a hunka josh zoomit Kedah zoomit is from the Arabic word l'Alma darkness or matka die like my dark room is trying to say this is abode of mine which is in ruins zoomit kadai memory shall be hunka Josh that the night of despair this is looming over my dark ruined abode

1:02:21

water depressed Dukey Optima this so xima hid the Lila Sahour so honnestly he says all I have is a candle that will guide me to when this night is over what why is that because the candle as it goes that you put it out once it's gone once this dawn breaks you blow out the candles so in a way the candle burning

1:03:00

is telling you to Delisle a guide - Sal - dawn okay but he says yet this candle saw khamoshi it doesn't speak get silent people this this is I just thought out I just opened and it was on that page so I thought I explained that one but there was a since we were speaking about desires there's an epic poem of Harlem the Hazara why she AC K

1:03:40

her hush padam weekly so well I suppose the correct pronunciation would be harsh because Hawaii so high is actually a Farsi word and the Wow isn't actually pronounced so huzzah huzzah wrong - you see K her hi padam weekly he says I have a thousand like so many 1000 he means countless as our own - countless desires each one of my desires is worth sacrificing a life of

1:04:18

people Don bought Nicola Murray Harmon Lake in pervy comically he says that so many of these desires I actually fulfilled and yet no matter how many I fulfilled they were always far too less Allah Allah in this people is the wisdom to understand human instincts desires and the psyche that people no matter what

1:04:58

like in the hadith although the hadith may not be that sahi but still it's its meaning where the Prophet said lo cannellini Adam were demons up if the son of Adam had a value of gold litter Minaya Khun Ella who had in aha all he would want is another Valley it's if he had one you just want another one William William laughs ah hoo and nothing will satiate him Allah Tora except dust meaning that once he or she

1:05:36

has become dust that's when his desires or her desires and now in a way that doesn't necessarily mean it's that these desires have to be bad they're part of the human experience they're part of the human journey but so long as a human has some insight that's the important thing well in that poem goes on to add he says he taking us back to the story of Adam he says that he says Nikhil Maharaj say

1:06:14

Adam gasps want a I Han Lake hold is like genital hold the hold means eternal so is they call paradise one of the names of it is geometric hold the garden of eternity hold means eternity so Nicolina horrid say Adam gasps aunty I am like him Bobby Abreu hooker Tara couch is a homily Kucha is the the person's front garden he's saying that I heard Adam when he was chucked out of Jannah that was a day of despair like

1:06:51

embarrassment he says that may be the case but boy saying to this woman or this girl that when I was turned back from your front garden your gucchy that was something else though so what he's saying is that I accept Adam may have had it tough but boy did I have it tough

1:07:19

Nikhil ma who say Adam casts want a I awakened bought by a broker Terry kucik amnok Lee and then he the final line he seen or the poetry what they do at the end they always address themselves so he says that he says kaha maja nikka Durvasa Holub or kaha vice he says where is you know the tavern the the pub where people go to drink he says I live where is the door of the pump the bar

1:07:57

where is the door to the bar and we're is vive the preacher these are worlds apart half these guys these worlds don't interact the preacher Veidt from the Arabic word vide Khmer Chanukah Durvasa Holly or convice / Etna chanting Calvo ja Tata chemically Allah he says all I can say is yesterday as I was leaving the bar he was coming in [Laughter] honestly

1:08:39

and speaking on bar this Joan Ilya says about one of his poems he says you know where Holly says he says Cara Bharata marma a Greek bar Jota he says how what what's so difficult about dying if it was one time only Akbar Akbar is means once in or - and Joanie Leah says here bar comma Club he bar like a drinking bar muhuali be saying is the

1:09:17

Camerata mana Garrick bar whatta you know what why would it be difficult to die for me we had a bar to go to write with that people let's resume some of these questions right so somebody's asking about smoking weed this one nice let's take a look at some of the Facebook questions abdullah one says all you've never got a chance to play with toys i don't think he did i don't think he did so lot is going on a lot is going on

1:09:57

shout out to my brother SI li are i do nee I was by clear Jones giving a shout out alright so Momo is on a ride in the house people right today this week for some reason the Facebook for me keeps showing up as having ended so I've got to kind of keep checking drugs are drugs Haram generally I would say drugs by and large not all drugs but I would say

1:10:33

things like heroin cocaine crack that kind of stuff is Haram clearly weed I've got a video on I don't feel weed is Haram per se like medical marijuana and not I you see that the drug-dealing world is drenched its drowned in Haram it is absolutely Haram so that is Haram but we cannabis per se the actual plant not laced with other kind of things I don't feel that's Haram

1:11:09

and you know it's it's like you know and I think that's person I'm not saying it's a good thing but I I feel that there should be personal responsibility with people and if people wanna it should be available I feel that the guy I don't know why the UK has you know has he as a contraband as an illegal kind of item I think it should be legalized and regulated you know it's like how Joe Rogan says in one of these things he says that you know I can't believe in 2020 that there's people this this these kind of I mean we would call ministers

1:11:49

they can senators and so on the congressmen who believe that a person should be locked up in a cage for smoking a plant at home just because it makes him feel good in 2020 this be I mean it's it's absurd isn't it our you see the human desire to exert control on other human beings it's phenomenal I mean we we lust this is still part of our lusting to exert control on every other human being in

1:12:28

every aspect of and the clergy are unfortunately infested with this cancerous element as well not all but many amongst them so yes so I feel that in places where is legal it is regulated I feel that it's not Haram I don't think it's a good thing I think people should be sensible and they need to make their own decision but I don't feel that the Sharia article is it Haram per se that's my understanding people can disagree with me and I don't feel any urgent things like psilocybin in mushrooms I

1:13:07

don't think that's Haram I don't think things like DMT I think DMT should actually be that I would actually I would think it's awesome I would love to take DMV I don't feel these things are Haram I think these are more spiritual kind of sensational tools really that would give one an understanding of consciousness that otherwise would be veiled from us in this realm so I actually I 10 stay call them entheogens you see and feel

1:13:45

from the word God you see the people shamans and these people don't cool DMT or you know and ayahuasca is is it is a DMT kind of plant a brew that they make from tea so they don't call them just hallucinogens they will call them entheogens that which connects you to God and I feel that you see in many ways what Sufis do is no different you know this kind of like thicker with the hyper fixation and all kind of like that you know the breathing that and they kind of hyperventilate and and and and you can

1:14:25

one can trigger induce a similar not exactly a DMT but a similar kind of trance you can induce by your breathing and there's been a lot of research on this within psychology within sociology and anthropology so what how is that any different you know and some according to some of the Jewish experts they feel that Moses ELISA Lam at the burning bush had inhaled DMT and they feel that was the kind of catalyst and mechanism that

1:15:04

then allowed him to speak to God amazing I and and these things I think in some ways why not you know like why not so right so what did the Companions prophet call Islam before the word Islam was used haha look people this this is this this concerned people whilst you other guys on here worried about sex toys and and drugs and and you know all these kind of things and TV shows and

1:15:44

here we've got a broader use of Hamza the use of the use of Hamza he's asking real concerns what did they used to call Islam before Islam I like it so they used to call it they didn't call it the so in the time of the Prophet they never used to really call themselves Muslims although they would have understood the word Muslim but they would have referred

1:16:22

to themselves as believers are you a believer they would have asked a muckman and they would have called this the kind of I mean I don't know exactly but I'm understanding that they would have probably called it the believing movement or they they would have seen it as to do with Iman and hence Allah keeps addressing all the time see so although the word Muslim does appear in the Quran and Islam does appear once at least once in the Quran but it's not the main thing the word is yeah you're latina Ayman oh you who believe oh you believe oh you

1:17:01

who have brought faith and belief so it was the believers movement that they would have identified us they wouldn't have identified as oh I'm a Muslim I believe in Islam they although that is this I mean that was what they were by our definitions today but the term Islam became a kind of then it was like when Islam got revamped and it kind of became institutionalized or the beginning of the institutionalization he wasn't fully institutionalized but the beginning of it in the time of Abdul Malik Edna Marwan which is at least about 70 years after

1:17:40

is after the Prophet so around that time it starts to become cold it starts to have this name as a formal name now we're calling this Islam and people who adhere to it are called Muslims so that's really Abdul Malik number one is a key a pioneer of what he triggers is what the institutionalization of the religion to come though one could say I'm not associating and a judgment on him I'm not saying he was a bad person for doing that or he was a good person for doing that I would say rather it was

1:18:17

a matter of inevitability that this religions always end up becoming institutionalized Islam was to be no different except the Prophet did warn us he said that look you will go with as the Jews and Christians have done before you you will institutionalize this faith too so you know but just but just to remember that you know that this faith is a forfeit rights and natural faith cool right let's take some other questions we're on a Facebook and they're all

1:18:55

right let's take some you know today the Facebook has been kind of playing up Sajid Hussein says I tuned in late have you reviewed the Messiah yet I haven't not yet a lot a lot Claire John says banana skin is burnt by some who say they get a kick from it right any interesting questions here very good a depending on translation okay we're here mufti of rye seed uh

1:21:56

do check that out people alright let me just take a look is there anything first of all option top no no no no let's go back to let's go back to these people so right the Messiah let's I think we should review the Messiah Allah people

1:22:28

somebody said should super dragon says should being gay be illegal of course it shouldn't be illegal what the hell is wrong with people anyway right so look the Messiah the TV series those of you that haven't watched it I'm going to review it I'm going to give my thoughts on it there may be some spoilers but I don't really think they spoil is because to be honest if you watch the trailer

1:23:06

you ready the trailer already has this kind of information in like you already watch this thinking so easy they already give you the impression that you know it's not easy really the Messiah is he you know surely there's an explanation so I don't think really my perspective that anything I discuss would ruin the entertainment value I don't think so that's my take on it but I'm gonna review it I'm gonna shave my thoughts people so here goes so I feel people

1:23:42

that the Messiah was epic I absolutely loved it honestly I thought it was amazing I've seen all of it I copped it all I've been you watched it over this weekend and I thought you know what I have to review this now I would give the Messiah something like 9 out of 10 honestly me your people 9 out of 10 I think it's amazing and I'm going to explain why I'm also going to explain that those people who don't like it what I think so I think if you're watching

1:24:21

this from the perspective and I'll tell you those of you that haven't watched it I'm gonna give you some guidelines on what to keep at the forefront of your mind whilst watching it and you really enjoy it okay so those of those people that are watching this because they think it's I don't know like a sci-fi it's not a sci-fi okay this is actually the series is meant to be based in realism it's actually meant to be like real so it's not like you know like wizards and this and that it's not meant to be like that okay so it's meant to be almost it's not a documentary it's what

1:25:00

I feel it's well-made but it's it's meant to be a drama okay so keep that in mind so people watching it thinking it's a sci-fi or action are gonna hate it they will probably rate it like four out of ten because there's very little action in it and it's not a sci-fi okay so that goes out the window those that are watching it thinking or maybe there's gonna be some kind of very intricate super complex plot even though I do I love the plot but the plot is still exactly what the trailer tells you there's nothing more to the plot the

1:25:38

plot is a man as arisen and people are following him people claim is the Messiah there is very I mean that that's the plot really much more to say so if you're thinking I don't know something this is gonna have that kinda the Pratt's gonna diversify it's gonna become a new plot and it's not so in that case you wouldn't maybe you might think well it was just okay five out and maybe six out and that's it right those people watching it Muslims that think you know there's all this drama that think this is about right

1:26:17

sorry of just right those people that are watching it thinking that this is about the the journal on Messiah had the gel this has got nothing to do with the Dajjal okay the Antichrist you know really disappoints me why Muslims always play the victim card religion being attacked holder it's nothing to do with the Dajjal people nothing I mean first of all I don't believe that the gel thing or the second coming of Jesus or the

1:26:56

Messiah is true anyway I believe that's an inherited concept from Christianity that Muslims have the Messiah concept and from the Jewish traditions and Jesus from Christianity and the Antichrist and I've got a detailed video explaining that but even if you do believe in there's going to be Jesus is going to come back and there's going to be a messiah and let's say you believe in all of these this is not to do with I mean I suppose very faintly it's obviously to do with the Messiah but it's nothing to do with the Dajjal because of the gel in Islamic teachings those those who

1:27:36

believe in that the gel to be a literal person is that there's going to be this anti Crowe - comes and does all this evil stuff and he is going to claim to be God and people will worship Him and then Jesus will come and destroy him this has got nothing to do with that people nothing this guy's so fine season one I I don't know unless they the writers change direction but he's actually a good guy he's not actually somebody used the Antichrist okay so this you can calm down so if you're watching the Messiah to learn a peda so

1:28:15

some Muslims who are watching this to touch up on the Islamic leader then this is an absolute you know - two out of ten because this is nothing to do with Islamic alida okay so you need to calm yourselves tranquilo tranquilo okay this is nothing just chant hood now I'm going to explain how to watch this people if you watch this from with an anthropological perspective a psychological perspective and a philosophical perspective you will love

1:28:53

it I feel that this is an absolute must for all religion analysts honestly to me the irony is I would actually say this series is a godsend meaning call the Messiah I feel that it's an absolute godsend for religion analysts or people who've ever considered the philosophy of religion so you know people would ask the question let me explain what I mean by that about the anthropological and the psychological philosophical perspective

1:29:32

whilst watching this consider these questions many people have asked this you may have asked this yourself there's nothing wrong with these questions that people may have asked what if a prophet was to appear in the 21st century how would it be what if a prophet was to appear in by the way he's not claiming to be a rafi but i'm just saying these questions you would have asked these questions I'm sure any person who's delved into the philosophy of religion would have asked these questions that how would a prophet engage with modern nation-states

1:30:08

how would a prophet would he be embraced in the 21st century how would miracles be received in the 21st century where we have cameras everywhere where we have people are much more critical we have the Internet we have social media how would how would miracles be received by people would it not be would they not be caught out people if you've ever asked the question that we would people with today's mindset when we say that look religion is kind of dead in the 21st

1:30:47

century and people are so much more critical would people believe if a religion arose in this day and age with these questions in mind you watch this and what you do is this the this is not a sci-fi remember it's a drama so they're not trying to do sci-fi they're not trying to be sci-fi in it they're trying to be real so now whilst you watch it what you do is you shift perspective so this the you who's the obviously the objective view and then there's the spectator you so the

1:31:26

spectator you is the one that like let's say you're watching Batman Superman you're thinking oh my god is this Batman go Batman's gonna come how is he gonna react Batman that spectator you is immersed in the movie obviously the the objective you knows this is just a movie you know the you know the they've just enacted this so you need to kind of track kind of transcend into the spectator you which you quite easily will so your spectating you know when you're getting into the spectator you is the one that gets into the movie that kind of oh my god oh yeah I hope this

1:32:06

happens oh don't turn around don't you know the one that gets involved that you then you kind of shift character or perspective into the recipients within the movie within the series how are they obviously as characters how are they how would you respond if you of them like hmm and it is absolutely fascinating honestly I think it is priceless and I'm not just saying this stuff because here is this person who arises from almost nowhere

1:32:45

yeah and he's kind of very you know he speaks he speaks kind of wisely as as as I suppose the prophets of old would speak almost not in riddles but an agnostic Lee like you won't answer very direct questions but I'll kind of answer them wisely you know like you'll say things like you know if they say oh is this you is this person for example is this name you he'll be like I have been known by that name he won't be like yeah that's my knee he answers very wisely very kind of you know when they'll ask him why have you brought these people he'll say I haven't brought them they followed they

1:33:25

they've chosen to follow me you know it's it's very enigmatic and this guy is so charismatic that the person playing the alla Marcia the Messiah in this I totally loved how he played the character and really I thought he you know suited and he was a complete fit for fall for that role and here at the same time this character he comes he is he seems to disappear and reappear in places he seems to kind of save lives and then he kind of disappears and he reappears on a different side of the

1:34:03

globe and people are like and the CIA are kind of off for him because they're thinking well this is all BS how has he done this but some of the the things they you see the whole series doesn't it doesn't explain all the miracles but it explains glimpses of some enough to tell you that there must be an explanation oh it's amazing like they're like well uh how do you like they will uncover that oh so for example he appears and I don't think this wrecks the series in any way because they explain it pretty much as soon as you're into it like he'll appear

1:34:41

all of a sudden in America and then they'll uncover oh there was a chartered private flight and it's like but they won't uncover the other things so how does he like he seems to know so much about the about the people interrogating him I mean is this information that's given to him by an agency is working for oh is he just so sharp and perceptible that he can read people like when the lady the CIA operative is is quizzing him but then later on she's like well how did he any and he says to her about her personal health but how she's

1:35:18

suffering but it will come to pass now when she's like well how did how did he know these things and then or was it that she she had this hospital band on and he read that but that was kind of hidden far back but what he was it because he was so sharp and so perceptible but he's so calm at the same time and then you know there's this concept of just being there in life like you just turn up you know they say like 98% of life is just turning up you just be the and things happen and I think that was a Woody Allen that said that uh

1:35:57

but anyways right so that the point is that him just turning up and then how natural events transpire like like let's say a flood or the kind of fish coming out of the sea now is this they they're almost biblical in description yet they're kind of natural phenomenon because floods do happen anyway you know it's not that floods don't happen and the fish kind of emerging being cast out of the Seas that this happens but yet the coinciding of these events it's it's amazing how would you receive it as

1:36:36

a person so the spectator you kind of wants him to be real you're like gah hard and then you know but they trying to unearth these things and you're trying to think oh wow but how does he do this and how social media then plays a role in in spreading amplifying his message you know this is a scene where the girl she is a picture of him and the moment she sees he he has 40 mm like straightaway like within a second and that is the power of social

1:37:11

media and it's like wow like oh my god like all these questions that you know what if somebody tried to take a religion off in this day and age or how would miracles be it's amazing obviously I just love it from that perspective like human behavior like wouldn't people believe in this they would wouldn't they like be honest they would believe in it do I believe that this person would be come you know knock me would he be performing these miracles by breaking the laws of nature I don't think he would I think that they they would be a

1:37:50

coinciding of natural and it would be an explanation but we don't know what some of these explanations were just like with miracles in the Quran just because we don't know some of the explanations it doesn't mean they weren't any explanations so I felt that it was amazing watching that becoming intrigued trying to figure out that right how is he doing this because it's not a sci-fi you understand it's not a like a Superman flying kind of movie so it's like you know how does he do that and you know how does he walk on water it's like what and then they're discussing

1:38:28

look what other people have done this and they're showing in the movie the CIA are kind of you know showing this and how magicians have done things like this and he said I I thought it was amazing if you watch it from that perspective of quizzing belief how belief arises and I think one of the the key you can extract from this that I took away from it is that the understanding that people believe because there is a want to believe people actually you know

1:39:04

we have within us a wanting to believe and it's it's it's like a a vacuum that it's almost so intrinsic within us that we find ourselves wanting like desperately wanting to believe it's amazing Wow because you find yourself as the spectator wanting to believe even though the objective you knows that all this is just but you're thinking oh god what is he getting is he gonna do something how is he gonna respond oh wow

1:39:44

I loved it I would say for people who you see now somebody says this there's a sci-fi part because he brings people back to life but does he or was it simply a resuscitation of people who were beset were actually alive you see like this is it just because one person describes it now just because the boy that the witness says oh my god he brought them back to life they were dead but were they did you see this is the question now you're just assuming they were dead this is why I'm saying it's so

1:40:22

spectacular because it really you have to view it from all like a scientific perspective from an anthropological perspective that how would humans and belief constructs how do they arise how do religions take off how do people is seeing believing you know when they asked him did you walk on water and he says he says what did you see oh it's amazing and see when the other guy says to him when they sit in a swimming pool he says go on walk across this

1:41:05

it's amazing isn't it's like you know in in the ancient in the stories in in some of these literature books there's a saying of one of the ha'la'tha the ancient kind of Abbasid caliphs some guy came to him and he says he says I'm a you know I'm a prophet and he says really if you're a prophet what's your miracle and he says I'll throw stones into water and they will disappear and evaporate and he says go on then so he throws some stones into this little pond that's there and they and they disappear and the Kaylee says hey

1:41:44

hang on a moment hang on a moment he says I'll give you some stones you throw them and so the man says ah he says but tell me when Moses threw the stick to Pharaoh in front of Pharaoh Pharaoh didn't say ah I'll give you a stake you throw my stick so the Calif just starts laughing the point is that see there must be an explanation and this is what he says he says that you know he asks the people when the guy says he says but you they say I saw you walk on water

1:42:23

you know did you actually walk on water and he says that are you saying what you saw is a lie I tell you I loved it man because I thought that is so true that is so amazing that what is is perception you know like in in Spanish they say their para crear you know like that seeing is believing the same thing but easy is the question that is it really

1:43:01

because what about the art of Illusion I loved its art from me I saw a lot of people giving a lot of you know Muslims giving it this super negative kind of review saying oh my god I wasted my life I think well these guys have got poor taste and they either insecure I saw some Muslim Imams writing that Oh we as Muslims believe in the Mahdi that the gel is Kesari them that the gel is

1:43:39

gonna come first or the the mathy is gonna come first and that the gel is gonna come then Jesus is gonna come and now people watching this might actually think that when the Dajjal comes that he is the Mahdi because they've watched the Messiah hmm you know this is the infantilization of Muslims like they wait like Muslims some some Muslim Imams treat Muslims like they they properly [ __ ] and handicapped like they've they've got the

1:44:16

intelligence of a three-year-old like oh no they gonna think the I mean do you not think that people know what a TV series is a TV series and it's not even a sci-fi so just relax and the guy's not even the Antichrist in it he's not the Antichrist I mean unless you mean by the remote thing that every Messiah in Islam is at the jail then from that for angle you're calling him at the jail but otherwise he's not the Dajjal the the Antichrist per se you know the kind of

1:44:56

tyrant that will go around spreading his powers not that so I think for religion analysts for students of psychology of people who want to study human behavior who want to study how human societies are formed how religion is from how power and influence takes place in society people who who are interested in the philosophical discussion of science meeting mythology that how you know some things when we can't when we don't know the explanations to them and they seem to defies science how do we come to terms

1:45:36

with that people who find these topics interesting will love this TV series so if you keep that in mind and you decide to watch it I'm pretty sure you will love it but if you if you're not interested in these things then maybe it's not for you but that was my it's definitely you know got my fault okay so alright cool people let's move on right every krauser has taken MS who's MS as they Messiah already

1:46:13

oh is that Mohamed Salah or Salah sorry or I don't know somebody has asked about the Moses throwing the staff he had the stick and it turning into a serpent I've got a video or a clip already on YouTube explaining that but it didn't actually turn into a clip sorry turning to a snake but it appeared like that to them because the Quran the verses do mention that as well and that you know for

1:46:51

unknown as though it is a snake and I do feel that there was maybe some element of Quicksilver involved in things like this I explained in my clip if you watch it and hence why Moses his hand turns all bright as well because of making contact with that element and that made things move so when Allah says that it consumed this verse is interpreted in two ways classically that either the literal that his star his his staff that he threw the the staff the stick it

1:47:28

consumed their sticks or what he threw consumed the falsehood so there's two ways of reading that verse so I would say vibrato Lama Yeshe kun that a lie saying that it consumed their falsehood okay so that's the other way but I've got a clip do check it out it's on YouTube I've got a lot of things on YouTube anyway people so sometimes when you have some questions do you know go to my account Musti Abu layth on YouTube alright

1:48:03

people a private URL haha via Belize major homosphere beliefs huija ha ha ha Miska be hotly husky chica is ripping off joan Elia the poet there but so yeah so do you subscribe do you search you know so I've got a lot of these kind of videos on the people ask all these kind of questions let me check as well some Facebook questions and then there is some do check somebody's trying to give a different interpretation there that's

1:48:43

fine but do check my somebody let me just check right so right people this the masala segment I'll take a look at some questions as well the masala segment must immerse a la multi masala so there's two things one right so let me just bring this up

1:49:27

all right okay I see problem this one problem but it's okay so I've got here there was a there was a tweet made by Daniel happy cat Jew let me try and see if I can if I can bring it up people I may be able to bring it up right yeah I thought I had it actually I did have it but for some reason he closed but no I

1:50:01

probably Emma let me see right now this is it let me just show this so for the masala segment Daniel Daniel rather he's made a post about Mufti mink so Daniel says or in the words of those of you that are familiar with Anil Kapoor where he says Danny Boy when he went to

1:50:40

receive his Oscar Danny Boy Oh Danny Boy has said it annoys me how must he mink deliberately avoids mentioning Allah instead using almighty in all his tweets the last time he tweeted the name Allah was once in 2017 is there another religion whose celebrity preachers substitute the name of their God for a generic translation is there I ask you

1:51:15

and look who's asking not Daniel as in the Arabic Daniel Rafa Daniel Danny Boy is asking waha must one substitute the name Allah for the name Almighty rather [Laughter] people so this one momento so we can see this this is the priority of Danny Boy

1:51:54

[Laughter] can you see how petty and silly some Muslim so-called leaders have become people like Daniel happy good Jew so here was a tweet by this was actually by calendar let me see if I can one moment on momento if I bring this this account is a hilarious account actually let me bring this down people quickly look at

1:52:31

my skill so far there you go some hilarious posts so he's saying here you've got all of these but Musti mixing almighty in Milan then yeah Daniel Danny Boy as there is

1:52:57

obviously I find it hilarious seriously this this is what is going on people this is what is going on see if people like Daniel have tickets you saying why what if Dominque don't sing law you see all multi and what's even what's more sad he's actually combed through the entire posts of multi mink to be able to trace back to 2017 the

1:53:29

last time he wrote it that is just it's like Danny Boy can we interest you in some toys which we discussed earlier this I mean something really sad and depressing is going on yeah dookey dookey Daniel Luka Danny Danny

1:54:04

Duque Atma has is a troubled soul it's really preoccupied himself with this thing and this is the problem seriously because people like this I'll be honest with you they're not actually trained within the Sharia masti monkeys although I would disagree I'm sure on many things with Muslim ink about his maybe opinions but at least he doesn't you know most he make doesn't do these kind of things people like you know like Dookie Danny they just all date all they do is just just get obsessed with either right-wing

1:54:42

kind of factions and just promote things like white supremacy at times as sometimes they're promoting right-wing speech and sometimes he's promoting things like Trump what Trump has said and just because he hates the left and he hates things like LGBTQ kind of communities so he will go out of his way to be on the opposite end and I don't know if you remember a while back I picked up I have a clip on his women praying in in wardrobes so he said it

1:55:19

was a Sunnah of the Prophet that that they were fulfilling that his wife in the wardrobe his wife had a like a a Sujatha masala she had a pre mark in her wardrobe and they used to pray not they but she would pray in a wood robe because he is this weak hadith which is a false hadith people it's not even a saying of the Prophet and he never even just said it's a saying of the Prophet he said this is a Sunnah within Islam to shove women into wardrobes woman get

1:55:58

yourself in that goddamn wardrobe it's like when did they have wardrobes in the time of the Prophet this is this is what happens seriously man I I feel seriously for these can be because of course and the shocking thing is so many Muslims believe them and they follow them and this is dogmatist and this is

1:56:36

why I love that TV series Messiah because he showed you how herd mentality is how people follow blindly through Dogma when they see something and what creates belief so yeah so I thought I'd mentioned that cool right what else is going on this is dookie dookie is like depressed depressed Daniel Danny Boy right so right what is going on it's true isn't

1:57:13

it don't it's leading the dome it's not even the dumb it's the right right what is and I do you know people who are so homophobic I do actually believe that they're struggling deep down with their own sexuality I do feel and this isn't I'm not saying

1:57:48

this you know dokey daddy nothing's i him I'm just saying that this it happens psychologists there's so much research on these the people that are so for Sepphoris lee so kind of this they go out over and beyond in expressing homophobic stuff they usually deep down within you know this either from different psychologists will explain it differently either transference that they are kind of

1:58:27

casting their demons out there and chastising them you know from a psychoanalytic perspective or the own shadow from you know like how young and other people would explain it that this is what they're struggling with and there's been a lot of report and studies where they in fact there was an interesting study with several people who willfully participated we they had certain electrodes tied to the the fella down the bar by your bubble why so they had these electro he's kind of like

1:59:05

electronic nodes kind of like poor on their these electrodes and that would pick up on tiny kind of they would register tiny signals the way obviously even if so if a person was aroused any kind of arousal one is full-on arousal but one is maybe low level arousal but it's not like a full erection or things like this but maybe it is a subtle increase in blood flow it's subtle to to the penile to the bubble by a section

1:59:41

right so what they found was that many people so they tried this on many men who participate it's actually an interesting study you can read it and they found that many men that were just normal like let's say they weren't that homophobic or whatever they they were just normal like it didn't really there was no real I mean significant kind of registering or anything but they found a lot of the priests or a lot of those who people who were very homophobic expressively that they would trigger whenever they were shown homosexual kind

2:00:20

of pornography so what they had they put these electronic and these kind of electrodes on and and then they had these receptors and then they show pornographic images like straight images regular sexual images porn oh it was all pornographic but they showed homosexual pornography and any registered whether there was a reaction or not so a lot of the normal people that weren't that homophobic but they were straight they identified a straight were just normal and it didn't really register much of a reaction but those people who are very

2:00:57

vociferously kind of homophobic and anti always condemning LGBT always going they actually the the what is it that the the computer red signals hate hate hate hate no I said hate I said hate yeah be some no listen either he got mind of his own

2:01:33

you know so this is they had to be gay to partake in no they didn't actually they they did this experiment on people who just declared themselves to be straight I know I think it's an amazing experiment from the you know from an anthropological perspective and a psychological perspective to to see that result that whole that's really interesting because it confirmed the hypothesis that a lot of people who are homophobic find themselves at some level

2:02:08

excited by all sexual alright so they're condemning their own erections this is the problem you know this is the problem right so right so people we have to move beyond that some guy goes plastic Mufti Abdul abdomen now my friend you having the

2:02:47

first name Abdul ending with just oh it doesn't even exist in Arabic it's it's it's the kind of prefix of the other word it's just Abdul what's your name servant I'm sorry to tell you but your life has been a lie right so somebody is also much about somebody has asked so much about is patriotism and nationalism

2:03:25

Haram patriotism and nationalism I mean they're not necessarily Haram but it's like many things it could be and it doesn't have to be you see if it's just about a sense of pride a sense of identity then it isn't if it's just about a sense of belonging and kind of like kind of like sportsmanship then it doesn't have to be that's fine from that perspective if it's from a perspective of discriminating against other people looking down on other people considering

2:04:03

your people to just be the best people for no bloody race like one is in sports like you want them or you feel a sense of proudness of sense of pride it adds to your identity then I think that's fine I mean there's nothing you know wrong in that kind of stuff it's human to be tribal I mean we as primates are actually very tribal not just human beings even chimpanzees and all kinds of primates the whole ape family is very tribal and human beings are incredibly tribal so it's not surprising that we're nationalistic I don't think that's Haram

2:04:41

I don't think even though the hadith is fabricated a balapan min al-iman that the love of of your state is from Iman that's the fabricated hadith it's not a happy so I wouldn't Aslam eyes it but I would say it's not again it's Islam it's just humans just as the Arabs were proud of their tribes like bunny Tamim and you know from whatever kind of different tribes they were from they felt a sense of pride about it so there's nothing wrong with that but it's when you diss other people based on that so if a person said by let's say I'm Pakistani now no I might be oh yeah yeah

2:05:20

you know I feel a sense of pride if somebody might be an error but somebody might be Indian or somebody might be lets say Bangladeshi or different things and they feel a sense of pride but then to say well look down on these people say these people are ah look at them the whole second class or they did that is Haram okay so that is from the jahiliyya that the Prophet warned against and he said that the there's certain things that will unfortunately always run in my Ummah and he said like at the Fahad this kind of discrimination and this kind of boastfulness of your own tribalism and that's not a good thing in Islam and

2:05:59

that is Haram so cool I hope that makes sense right I think we got to start wrapping up oh my god is at the time you know I'll take a few last question let's do a few rapid round questions does it convert have to get circumcised the snip snip the whole the whole head I've got some good news bad news well the circumcision part the foreskin is gone but the bad news is with it so

2:06:36

as so as the head see circumcision is is not obligatory within Islam but it's seen as a very kind of strongly emphasized Sunnah of Abraham within this theme and he has many hygienic kind of plus points as well to it things like and yum and these are studies the fact that they they don't know why I mean they this speculation but P people who are circumcised have a 50% like when they conducted studies they

2:07:15

found that people who were circumcised were less half by half were less likely to contract sexual diseases STDs it doesn't mean that they didn't but I think this was especially they were looking at HIV at the time but this study you can find it on Google because they a while back I remember I got into a discussion a discussion with a friend of mine from from the local gym Emporium who's an atheist and we were discussing circumcision now you know we were comparing and we were and so after that

2:07:54

I actually went away in and this was about two three years back and I well I think about two years back at least am i and I read into a lot of research on circumcision and what to study say scientific studies health studies and I was actually quite shocked that the amount of I didn't expect that much kind of positive studies by non this is by the NHS will kind of share these studies other objective kind of scientific journals will share them it's not religiously kind of sort I don't mean the religious of people sharing them and it showed a lot of this kind of stuff

2:08:30

because the obviously under the ECM I was actually I'm gonna sound like agile now but at the time believe it or not I didn't realize obviously because as Muslims were circumcised from infancy so that's all we've ever known we've never really known as boys of course and by the way the female circumcision I've got video clip on that not absolutely not and it's not from this thing it was a custom and I've explained what that is about it was more than anything a cosmetic element in certain tribes to do

2:09:09

with the labia that's all it wasn't what this kind of mutation that people have but yes so because we've not known it Muslim boys differently so it was like interesting to learn so there's the hole what do they call it the smegma or the the actual the mucus that is this this actual the underneath the foreskin it's not just how people would assume things like sweat and whatever but this actual mucus that is

2:09:48

formed there so you have these these kind of mucus glands underneath that the secrete smegma which in and of itself it would be massively yeah I mean if it just kind of accumulates you can imagine the the the unhygenic aspect to that so all these kind of things I've read it and I was like whoa I'm so shocked that you know if I wasn't circumcised as a person I would after just reading these things actually go and get sick so yeah but anyway so I it's not an obligation

2:10:28

in the sense that it's not that a person is sinful in Islam but it's a really emphasized tradition of the Abrahamic faiths so I would say that I would encourage it as a good thing but that's my take as a Muslim who's grown up in a Muslim family being raised this way so I you know it's something very natural and part of the fitrah for for us maybe some people see it differently cool let's take some rapid rounds people right how did the Companions pray before it's

2:11:06

Rahul Maharaj this is an interesting question and once again I feel that the salat did exist before that the other Arabs that many aspects of this Salah was already there but maybe it was modified abdomen and said Musti and he put it in capital letters mostly you'll okay well Abdul if you Kato is going off I think the problem I hate to break it to you but I think the problem lies with you need to control your Babu by you know this one nice right is

2:11:45

reassuring off shirk absolutely not it's not [ __ ] ok showing off is not shake it's a it's a creature you know human trait found in other creatures as well it's not I mean it's not arrogance is condemned but people wanting to kind of show off good things is is a natural thing it's not something right somebody asked is pork Haram yes pork is Haram by the Quran it's the only dietary thing that is clearly explained as Haram in the Quran from a food perspective right

2:12:22

so right okay people now let's move on to a final was there any hassanis are saying you that outright you doing it you do any right people let's take a look let's make reminder by the way of those of you that haven't it's always good to remind that do remember to tune in I've got one segment before we go now this was you see this is what happens people this is

2:13:00

what becomes [Laughter] [Music]

2:14:12

[Music] [Music] [Music]

2:14:58

[Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] people this is the problem you know with this whole believing in this kind of demonology there is no such thing as gym possession ok genes do not possess people if you're still in doubt about these things I've got a detailed video I did a joint video with share a chrome
