5:01

and running lighter so it's Christmas people I thought why not this was a very interesting suggestion made by made by one of our fellow Facebook good friends I'll put the blame right on now I'll keep I'll keep his name for but the point it's a good suggestion I thought yeah why not since it is Christmas let's Santa it is oh my god so people what are the questions what are the questions what's

5:39

going on what's going on I have to say I'm so disappointing the name of a scholar who are judgy I'm a real done I takes one to know one what a G hell yeah that's what I am well you know when somebody called abu bakr al about Kalani the legendary don't Malachy a Shaitaan do you know what he

6:15

said he quoted the verse of the Quran that we send the shayateen upon those who disbelieve to provoke them so listening from Luton Aloha salmon Alice Allen Hodja quite rightly predicted his fate by saying blocked hell yeah is blocked Kaleem Sharma Kadri ji animus on an ethnos Allen awesome to

6:48

see you sit Khan people that's the guy he's responsible for this idea those of you just tuning in click like click share get it out there people share the Christmas spirit that's what it is I have to say now I have to say this it is shocking to see how Muslims some Muslims

7:24

some Muslims caveat caveat some Muslims respond to this whole Christmas thing it's shocking I mean I was reading up on the Amazon thing scaling Sharma saying Salam from Edmonton I take it that must be an Edmonton in Canada and not the one in London but you know this the boxer I'm Johan puts up where is my drink

7:59

right so the box armed Iran puts up something about all this lady Santa here he puts up something about a Christmas tree and gets death threats from Muslims I mean seriously death threats war joke what a joke in the name of God in the name of God people not in any other name in the name of God so he gets death threat saying you've

8:37

left this is how you you know we as Muslims don't celebrate Christmas look you don't have to be celebrating Christmas you could just be having a little fun look at that the Hat just wants to come back on like that and as to all those people saying that look well you know oh my god you've left you know your Islam has been compromised you've left Islam now or you've you've you know how are you gonna answer to

9:15

this on the day of judgment and all these things I quote Akbar Allah body the legendary or do poet who said jihad us a milling it'll take a jogger no the thing is these people I almost feel like I've got one of those new cobs on but the hair part of the hair but uh but our hair but the thing is look my my face is

9:55

not that fake it's not that weak that it crumbled by recognizing that you know people might be having a bit of fun on Christmas your faith might be that weak you have my deepest condolences but beyond that you don't need to worry about my faith or the faith of other people because the last time I checked Allah didn't put you or any other Muslim in command of other people so so ah so and as far as I'm concerned my faith is

10:31

absolutely fine ok so it's amazing how how people how people wish to exert control on others it's shocking how do people wish and the greatest tool they have is religion I'm telling you but they marinate oh I feel like you know like some of those like I borrow a nickel bond like this is what it must feel I feel like in it like when you're having a drink

11:05

it must be like well look in our deal right is there any issue really in saying Chris Merry Christmas first of all I have a an article on this already on Facebook it's in my safe notes you can click on it you can you can like it you can share it you can read it it's called tinsel in a tangle ice it's

11:44

old I think I've had it for at least one or one year at least if not two years but so now the issue is this there is nothing from the Koran wasana that prohibits stuff like this nothing these are the interpretations of certain people right now look I recognize some great Imams of the past who I love I love them yeah I love and cherish them they may have held certain stringent

12:23

according to our times very stringent hard-line views about this but let's not judge them because they lived over a thousand years ago in a world that was totally different in their time they only lived amongst Muslims and they saw they were own the only time they generally met people of other faiths was during war that's like me as people today want to say oh how should I treat my neighbor right sure saying that's a

13:02

hack that's not a hat look that's my whole father Christmas thing people today want to say how should we treat our neighbors I know let's look up what the legend Imam Abu Hanifa said about it I mean seriously seriously I mean seriously that's like me saying that's okay let me give you this example imagine you've got a next-door neighbor

13:42

any random name I was hoping maybe there was some non-muslim names I could have just chosen one right there so you've got one look that sounds like a non-muslim name jamrock that's it okay let's say you've got an non-muslim neighbor by the name of jam rock now jamrock you asked Jamrock our jam rock how do you treat your neighbors and he says well I look at the famous word I look at the words of let's say ham rock

14:20

so jam rock is taking it from ham Rock who was in England in the year 1066 during the Battle of Hastings and I take his advice on how to deal with neighbors let's just say somebody said that to you you'd be like what so you take the advice like so to look for inspiration of not inspiration sorry not inspiration on how to greet and meet your neighbors in 2017 coming on to 2018 you look at

14:58

some person who lived during the Battle of Hastings so the person how would you feel about that like would you be like what the hell like what would the person during the Battle of Hastings be able to provide you today on how to deal with you because the whole world has changed so this is the same scenario even though let's say that person from the Battle of Hastings as an example could be an amazing person he could be it could be somebody who had great characteristics for his time always gave in charity but he lived a

15:36

very long time ago so people today are going even further back they going back a few hundred years beyond that and there is nothing nothing from Allah and His Messenger condemning these kind of things nothing nothing do not listen to these people if they misguide you if anything imam hasan i Louis Alan a Louis Alan if anything right right if anything

16:11

so right if anything the Jesus is a prophet within Islam and the Quran quotes him saying that look Salam on allaha ya'muru little that peace be on to me the day I was born now even Christians know he wasn't born on the 25th of December but let's just say if this is a day which they've dedicated or people have nowadays in the UK or in the West generally definitely in Europe and in many parts of America and other parts of the world Christmas

16:50

is more just seen as a time of festivity it's lost a lot of its Christian kind of heritage but I mean in some places it may not have the point is he is a prophet of islam so if somebody did say well okay even God in the Quran says peace be upon him the day he was born what is the issue and people will say yeah but he's not the son of God so I say I know he's not the son of God a

17:27

genius you genius of a giant so what's your point as a gay but Christian say he's the son of God I say but your Christian the last time I checked you see the thing is when when when when allah quando quando when the messenger of allah saw that the jews in medinah were treating the Ashura with respect and dignity and honoring honoring the

18:07

date by saying this was the day that God helped Moses we will fast on this day the Prophet said national ola naka we are more deserving to honor moosa did that mean that the prophet endorsed every jewish belief regarding moosa aleihsalaam did that mean that the Prophet was saying that ya know Jews are 100% accurate in everything they believe in Jesus a mote about Moses of course not of course not when when the Prophet

18:46

turned the qibla the direction of prayer to pay to luck this right to Jerusalem to become closer with the Jews of the time was he saying we believe in everything the Jews have said by the way many jeez many Jews in according to the Torah and according to the Old Testament do not recognize even an afterlife or they say there may be they may not be an afterlife did that mean the Prophet was endorsing this Salah a live Salaam hell no people hell no

19:24

so saying things like merry Christmas to people oh you know having a bit of fun all these things are ah these things do not throw somebody out of the fold of Islam you miserable fascists right these things do not throw people outside of the fold of Islam my Islam is much stronger than that maybe your Islam might be that weak

19:59

right and do not dare quote to me the hadith the hadith people of The Messenger of Allah which says those who imitate the people are from amongst them you deceptive nothing matters you know that you are not only misusing that hadith you are abusing not misuse abuse of that hadith because that hadith was to do with warfare and if you have true

20:36

cojones read the full hadith and preach it you will not be mm-hmm you think I don't know I know this is the problem my friend I know that will have these so the full hadith states if you're going to read it completely the Prophet is declaring war saying that unless they say la la la la they will be that they will be killed and fought and that the whole hadith is incredibly

21:14

harsh and consists of four lines to quote the final line in isolation and act as though this wasn't to do with that particular military expedition the Prophet went on and was not to do with general life is to misuse to abuse and it is to dishonor the beloved messenger of allah muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and it is blasphemous i find it that they attribute such in isolation such nonsense that they make the Prophet

21:54

appear as some kind of a horrid person that is blasphemous to do that and I've I asked these people to really learn about the true personality of the beloved messenger so they may fall in love with it and not this kind of I don't know this kind of biography of some War Lord that they seem to be reading that's what I would say now also I've got a very interesting but those of you just tuning in click like right click share get this out there

22:32

somebody asked is how come you don't agree with mo lead but you agree with Christmas oh you cut me out you naughty naughty look what I've been asked if you're asking me does Islam say we should be celebrating Christmas does Islam teach this I would answer no it does not this is not from the Islamic teachings per se this is not to do with Islam like that now if you're asking me does Islam

23:12

teach that we celebrate the birthday of the Prophet I would say it does not but those who want to celebrate it I don't believe it's Haram I don't believe it's forbidden it's their choice now the Christmas issue falls under what a category chordal or fall hada custom and convention so if you live in a country where is the culture of a people we are not celebrating Christmas like like an act of worship or anything to say Merry Christmas isn't really celebration it

23:49

isn't really a celebration it's partake it's just having a bit of fun being joyous you know saying to somebody merry Christmas to you it is apps is LOM allows that it is not against these kind of things yes if you lived just amongst Muslims in the past there were no Christians there would be no it would be meaningless to go around saying Merry Christmas why would you say Merry Christmas nobody celebrates Christmas they would actually take that as an affront like they would think you're trying to stir up trouble they would assume you're trying to be

24:27

provocative Adam Thomas hell yeah merry Christmas to you Adam that's what we're talking about have an awesome Christmas now I think it is from the insecurities the insecurities of people's beliefs look practice whatever you want believe whatever the hell you want why do you feel you have to impose

25:02

Kamran Khan is trying to engage me in a discussion in saying why are you saying the hadith of Ashura if it was not to do with culture I have used the hadith to show a point I have used the hadith to show a point that during the prophet's lifetime he was actually very welcoming of Christian a of Christian practices that's what I've shown but yes if you're asking me I've said if you were in a context with nobody there were no Christians it was just Muslims you

25:40

wouldn't really it would be meaningless to go around say Merry Christmas or things like this but if you lived in a part of the world where it was the norm then yes being one of the normal people is Islam encourages that it does not encourage separatism people anybody pushing this concept of separatism under the banner of Islam beware beware of them people beware of these people so so that's what I'm saying right obviously look this bothers people

26:18

this kind of stuff bothers people and it's amusing to see why it bothers them it only bothers them because their own faith unfortunately may be very insecure and that's a shame but it's the truth it's only because their own faith may be very very insecure right so my faith ain't insecure and you don't need to worry about my faith Allah says lest that I lay him be much later you are not to be questioned you are not in control of

26:57

other people's faith let people that each and all live their life so right let's move on to some Sally Abu Ali Al Mancunian a reward named Merry Christmas naughty naughty so that's what I say people that's what I say you should faith is something that should inspire you throughout life it should drive you forward you know I wanted to speak about a book I was reading I tell you this book people it's

27:34

called a son Natuna Barea vain alpha T or a lil hadith by a legendary scholar of just of our recent times a legend from the Ella's hurry kind of spectacular scholarship his name is Muhammad Allah's early and he's a student of many of the great Mashaikh like chef Mahmoud shall toot and all these other great Masonic aviles harm his book this one is dedicated to hadith studies and he speaks about how people have misunderstood hadith and what is the

28:12

true positioning of prophetic hadith between the people of faith and the people of hadith it is a must read honestly it is something that I could not really emphasize enough and he's make some very incredibly valid points in here about so many things I mean there was an interesting point that I thought and he's speaking about hadith which sometimes have a valid chain but are still invalid why because they clash with the overall principles of Islam they clash with the Quran

28:52

so those hadith are an issue and and the so it's it's definitely worth read he mentions an interesting point in here one of them was about humanity that way is humanity today that why have Muslims they place so much emphasis on things like fear can all this but they've forgotten about humanity why is that he speaks about how he's come across people in his time obviously he's passed away now since I believe over a decade and a

29:30

half but that he speaks about how he's come across people in his time who were more concerned with 50 rulings like that's rulings of Islamic jurisprudence like does somebody's voodoo break if they touch like somebody of the opposite gender they were so obsessed about this but it does not bother them in the slightest that for example the elections taking place are corrupt and rigged he said he doesn't bother them but it bothers them whether this little ruling about fifth

30:09

and he said they're obsessed about these and what happened to humanity and he speaks about he says that I have found in my experience what Allah he has this sentence in if I can find it it deserves to be written in gold honestly he had this I thought to myself I would love to quote that but uh he says look I have found in my experience in a human allah i see rigid then and Tamela Alba in son in Bill Hooda let me read a

30:48

lot these people he says it is incredibly difficult that you may feel the heart of a human with guidance either cannot my dad kaalia if his stomach is empty here I can admire that who halia if his stomach was empty oh and tuck sua who Billy Bassett aqua either can adjusted who are Ian oh it is so difficult to give people a clue a garment of piety if their bodies are

31:26

naked and by naked he means those people who are destitute he said what happened to Muslim communities he speaks about and he's from if he lived in Cairo in Egypt now he speaks about a ruling that one of the Muslim scholars had even a Hasson who is a legend from Muslim Spain almost a thousand years ago over 950 years ago people he was a very close friend of even Abdel bard the Maliki legend in fact he describes himself as

32:04

his best friend so the al-amin he says if Nizam has a ruling he said that if a person in a town was found to have died as a result of starvation the whole town would be deemed guilty of manslaughter look at that look at that people there is a ruling that the whole town would be deemed guilty of manslaughter and would have to pay the penalty these rulings

32:41

have existed in our tradition for a thousand years yet why are people so far why are they drifted from humanity and they're so obsessed there you go and they so obsessed with rulings of of these kind of finite 50 which are amazing I love that but to forget the greater rulings it's shocking people getting so upset

33:16

about about things like father Christmas or a Christmas tree a Christmas tree god damn it a Christmas tree can you believe that people are getting that is hilarious honestly that is hilarious it's disappointing it just goes to show that the state of people right can I drink through this all right I did it people I did it I managed to drink right let's take a look at some of these questions we're dealing with today

33:56

where's your sledge all right Mugsy I'm waiting to see the Christmas tree now the Christmas tree is downstairs those of you just tuning in click like first ruling no tight t-shirt is that eggnog I got no idea the reason for the vastness of space and chances of life the relevance of the seven heavens and the seven Earth's look right you know in the Quran where it mentions things like the seven heavens and stuff like this

34:35

it's simply speaking about things like the cosmos and it's speaking about things which seven the Arabs often used to enumerate to enumerate kind of a number to say so many right somebody's asked okay listen the whole surface are are we are dealing with that don't worry inshallah you will see in the near future nah don't worry about that the whole

35:12

topic of the second coming of Jesus which I am in line with those scholars who do not believe it to be established and the concept of the Messiah yes I'm well aware of that discussion and inshallah in the near future you will be hearing more about that so right now coming back to this point so now if only I can lip-read see this the problem can't really seem to is that better there you go right now okay what's with

35:51

your y'see drinking with his left hand I'll get a life god damn it sides and beards and leave what's on the chain any ruling regarding that yes in his long no I got to take this all right it is absolutely fine in Islam to have any kind of a beard you know even shaving is not deemed Haram as the legend father yob explains in his commentary on sorry Muslim he says

36:29

father yard says that Mufti when you're coming back to 24 24 Jim soon and soon insha'Allah soon soon pronto pronto he's drinking with his right hand is a reverse camera Shukla and Albania and Lomas Island along with silent people Cheryl Bernie's in the house that Albani no I'm not I'm not saying that I'll satire that's a good friend of mine from the Philippines we studied together in Karachi Pakistan who the hell is it is he is probably Shaitaan high who the

37:05

hell is it there you go well the Shaitaan just threw your behind well into oblivion so right now all the hadith regarding eschatology generally weak it's not that they necessarily I think some of them definitely they are in my understanding a lot of the hadith to do with eschatology to do with the kind of or more to do with the Epoque lips the kind of the Muslim equivalent

37:44

of the Biblical Book of Revelations if you like in the gospel about things before the apocalypse most of these things are very illustrative they kind of just give illustrations they are either mutlar up they either a from a very academic perspective or unstable turbulent and many of them have hidden defects some of them may not but generally the overall picture as the legend of Islam share whole Islam of his time and the Grand Mufti of the Mali Kia even assured writes in his book dark a hot one for

38:23

that these things are simply Islamic information they are not a matter of creed and that he is like my indirect share from the share of my share who I have a kind of chain of transmission through seedy boobs ax to even our Shore and that's the understanding I haven't teach right so the beard as I was saying called the yard does mention that it's not her arm to shave it it's not but generally in Islam it is encouraged to have a beard of any nature okay and that could be a goatee like this as many of the chef's AF said and some of the

39:01

Maliki are like horror she or it could be you know round or it could be a big beard but there is nothing to prove it to be from and emphasized Sunnah okay alright Feliz Navidad that's what we're talking about what's with the Santa topi it cuz it's Christmas all right where's your Christmas spirit

39:28

it's Christmas yeah blood Johnny Paco why is I can't see any Johnny Paco agreed with their faith okay I get it block obviously according to him I've left Islam well that's fine my friend do I look bothered if I've left your version of Islam the last time I checked I didn't worship you all right so if I believe in God

40:07

you see it's interesting you know Maulana tariq jameel Saab says in a lecture he says that why are Muslims so eager to check each other out of Islam like why are they so eager like God fro me come apart yeah yeah yeah he says are we running short of infidels or non Muslims that everybody's so eager to chuck and everybody else out of this as I heard these two Salafis having a conversation once and one of them declared somebody else a kaffir and the other person said in a response well

40:46

it's just more space in Jennifer us Aki it's just more place in heaven for us Aki I thought jenna is it your dad's back you know your daddy your dad said I thought maybe you're misunderstanding Jana to mean like I don't know like your dad's shed or something out there you thinking well how many men can I fit in here so if I chuck people out there's more space for us this is the afterlife

41:19

God so you see that kind of Islam if you want to check people out of it Chuck I'm not like your Chuck not like you're throwing people out of Islam does anything to them this is why I'm so glad god damn seriously that I live in a country like the UK that we live in the West that we live under systems that do not operate in the name of God because systems that try to operate under the name of God are off

41:56

when only misused and abused and that is the truth and I will tell you the truth Oh a little hot they were low can a even if it is bitter people that is the truth and look I watched I I saw on social media there was this interviews in quite about some woman she was in the cup so she was kind of like this you could only see her eyes couldn't really I can remember now I think you could just see her eyes so she

42:35

is on this kind of chat show and she is speaking she's speaking about religions and she begins by saying I check this out she begins by saying I want to say I respect all religions she says I respect Christians and Jews and Hindus and Sikhs and and they can worship their faith in quate she goes this is her words then she says oh but what I have a problem with is them doing these Christmas

43:13

things in public and this ought to be stopped by law because we know that isn't there true Christianity and they religion they can practice it behind closed doors honestly look what a disgusting statement what a statement that contradicts not only the first part of her own statement saying I respect those religions but it clashes with the Quran with the Sunnah with the seller of this Ummah it clashes with everything imam malik was asked what do you say

43:52

about those people doing the that they have their practices they to the extent that in his time he was asked to intervene against a certain people certain Zoroastrians that would practice incest because they felt it was part of the religious tradition and my Malik said no we do not intervene it is their way of life this was who this was the dawn of darrell Hydra Imam Malik Abner Anna's people this the Imam on whose mother uh

44:30

whose method I kind of find myself upon going back to the illuminated City the enlightened city the city of The Messenger of Allah Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam now so look so I think what's important is to understand that people today have zero tolerance that many not not all but there are several people unfortunately who are just undercover or they just closeted fascists they have a superiority complex they think they're better than everybody

45:09

else because they have been born Muslim how does that make you better than other people they say oh they think you know this kind of arrogance that we've got it we haven't got anything what an ethic what are you on about honestly when I watch that lecture I thought al hamdulillah al hamdulillah I do not share and a society with people like I mean hopefully I mean I know there may be people like that in all societies but generally I don't live in an overwhelming society like that because this day and age is all about humanity

45:49

people our religion Islam ought to reflect humanity if somebody is not preaching humanity and they are preaching hatred they are preaching division be very weary ok I haven't yet watched resurrection the world but inshallah I've got a watch a lot of people have said good things can't intervene between then what about open homosexuals exactly exactly somebody had asked the question in my Malik's response was he wouldn't intervene between the incest

46:28

relationships because it was there he said who are Dino home it is their Dean and his actual response he quoted his teacher saying look we have been taught to tolerate much greater things than incest in Islam from people of different views he said they worship many gods people do all this we're taught to be respectful so this it's their way of life anyway let's get on to some more questions you should follow what the Prophet came with oh I've just blocked

47:06

you but please joke big up quick question what can i hey jebby my lucky girl do four will do if there's no closed space to make wudu can she take to wipe under her scarf what's this to wipe over her scoff does he mean yeah I mean if you that is an opinion of like the humbly method if you're talking about wiping over I took my what I'm not sure I fully understood the question but if it was about wiping over most

47:45

scholars don't accept that but that is an opinion and if it is difficult I would say personally if it was difficult for certain reasons to do wudu then I would rather say this is my understanding in line with some of the self like a shabby and other people that if you were struggling to do voodoo for some reason or another you can resort to what like people have said about wiping and stuff but I would say like in the Quran you resorted to a month okay somebody's asking what I've got on my head I've got this on my head

48:19

oh yeah right so I seem to find logic in what you're saying but stop laughing like that I'm listening to a serious discussion I'm sorry it hurts it hurts [Laughter] does it hurt now well I could I could give many a comeback to that response but but for two things one I'll tone down my humor to because you're obviously enjoying what I'm saying so you are mixing Red Bull yep I am indeed right so what are these other questions

48:59

people what are these other what are we looking at right somebody has asked voice has asked why do the Mauna Kea not recite out of alignment a Shaitaan regime and even bigger than that why do they not recite bismillah ar-rahman rahim in the prayers so a Maliki Salah this is the general mainstream Maliki salive begins like allahu akbar al hamdu lillahi rabbil alameen that's how I pray by the way so I just love like well al hamdu lillahi rabbil alameen I do not

49:37

say you know subhanak Allah or do not say I was a beloved do not say bismillah r-rahman r-rahim why what an interesting question the answer why because this is how the Companions around the Prophet learnt it from him taught it to their students who taught it to the offspring to Imam Malik this was the practice of the city of Medina that they would not recite bismillah r-rahman r-rahim they want

50:17

upon entering into Salah Salah would only begin straight with al hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen this falls under a Malou a little medina the practice of the city of medina what we are proud of people the school of medina the Malky method so my point is is it's interesting you've got when people try to make allegations of certainty within the faith they have to be very weary you see you have people like let's take an issue like bismillah r-rahman r-rahim

50:56

is it a verse of the Quran like when you begin every surah it says bismillah r-rahman r-rahim ani I'm not talking about surah to normal in surah to normal there is the story of Solomon writing to bility saying or in whom in salah manawa innahu bismillahirrahmanirrahim I'm not talking about that was the the big opening every surah chapter of the Quran with the words bismillah r-rahman r-rahim is that a verse of the Quran well will you be surprised to know gentlemen ladies and gentlemen that Muslims have not agreed upon this the

51:36

entire Maliki method the school of Medina donned by the Don himself Imam Malik rejected this to be a verse of the Quran they said yes the Prophet would say that that was from the prophets practice to open the surah by saying bismillah r-rahman r-rahim this is not a verse of the Quran the sheriff ain't met him said it is a verse of the Quran it's a verse of every surah so the Muslims had a disagreement about whether about a this being a verse of the Quran so when

52:16

people tell you they were in absolute agreement about these little tiny things be very weary okay but be incredibly weary because look they didn't even agree on things like this and is the Quran not Matata is it not something so widespread do you know what the legend called the Abu Bakr about Kalani the Maliki scholar from Iraq said regarding this verse when they said to him this is motivating that the Quran is water water so bismillah

52:54

r-rahman r-rahim must be motivated as in so it must be known by necessity he said the fact that we are disagreeing in shows that it can't be motor water Allah Allah Allah can I get a hallelujah so that's all my dad's right so that goes to show the differences so when people

53:23

[Laughter] little these Devils tika uh hello up Jang BOGO bugga-bugga-bugga-bugga- bugga-bugga-bug okay right okay so off you go to the counter there was a possum yeah I've gotta run here now because it's just it's getting in my he's

53:54

getting in my way to mature take a chill a badminton coach a lab job I'm Jo Jo she just kicked me before going well anyway right so right now bro does all your does your beard grow it does but there's something called a trim you know these to be this advert this

54:31

Pakistani advert in Pakistan when I was a student there many years ago and II used to say Madonna shave hey bottles and even thoug sir a true man shave you know it's you can't just it doesn't just you need to not everybody can attack yeah yeah sorry there was a bunker don't think that was the Rosa monk right so now let's get back to some of these questions what are we talking about no one drinks coca-cola with Red Bull well

55:10

sir Sam I a no one [Laughter] so what are we looking at what are we looking at what is that what's that poem that he says about alcohol superbly mysterious name which is a hotel that it's all your own craziness your own

55:49

insanity whoever's made this you know this kind of chaos a bubbly mysterious name a charlatan nasha rob mejor thought or not d both he said if there was intoxication in the drink then surely the bottle should dance am I wrong in this relaxed people that's not just me it's just me it's not alcohol okay here's an interesting question

56:26

look here's an interesting question somebody said if you imitate something like an hurrah like a Haram action is it Haram so let's just say if a person imitated like let's say imitated alcohol it's not alcohol but let's say imitate it or let's say imitates gambling he's not gambling but he imitates it or if he imitates adultery it's not adultery but he's imitating it then is that her arm so I read somewhere I was just reading this I think a week or two ago that that is

57:05

Haram because in normal arm a Lube in yet the actions are by intentions my dear friend boy have you misunderstood this hadith that is nonsense nonsense nonsense of course it's not right of course it is not sinful of course it is not Haram yes you may see that as kind of like childish behavior you may see as immature you may see as something not sensible but it is not haram don't be absurd

57:44

the hadith says even when a person is about to do her a Haram action woman hammer who got so intent on doing something actually Haram lamb took tabla who say ya know by deed is written the hadith mentions until he begins the actual Haram action then he gets one bad deed for doing that and if he chooses not to do it he gets a good deed for not doing it and whosoever thinks woman huh maybe husana and whosoever wanted to do a good action that it is written

58:21

immediately for him and if he does do it he gets tenfold its reward this is the sahih hadith so to say this kind of nonsense of it's just once again it's a very kind of Puritanism a very kind of so yep so I thought I'll answer that do you watch somebody trying to get me on what I watch and what I don't watch I

58:53

think that's a good point read one don't you think so nasha robbed me who thought or not the bottle and the last time I checked he doesn't dance up nema steal so right let's let's take a look at another question right so disagreements over the text of the Quran generally speaking no so fun generally speaking these are the minut discussions but it's too lengthy to go into here so I'm just gonna try to

59:32

go to what's all of this all right so what is this somebody just sent me a long message saying every year without knowing the truth behind it I somebody just decided to educate me by this is silk Christmas and everything yeah thanks mate good thing last time I checked you weren't the prophet of God people are so eager to share knowledge ain't they it comes back to that character I spoke

1:00:12

off to mal Hakim the wise man Touma who was absolutely ignorant by the way and he used to miss read all the hadith and educate people based on absolute ignorance and his famous example of where he was telling people that all cure lies in a black snake because he was reading the word have better so that that a black seed as hell yet so so that because there was an extra dot so this is what we've got today a lot of two months but alhamdulillah you know if there's something I'm so grateful off to God

1:00:51

it's that he allowed me to gain an understanding of this Deen myself and not to be dependent on these people for in the words of Imam Malik they would have snatched the Dean right out of my heart and so I'm so grateful that that you know they weren't given the opportunity to do that right somebody by the way I get asked this question my friend Sohail is single ladies in the comment this a matchmaking thing going

1:01:28

on right now so yeah I've got I've got us SAS 7s6 I got an upgrade now but I'm thinking should I just wait till the s9 comes out but uh right so his camera can ask the question autumn he'd asked the question about some companions who had said some companions like Abu Darda there were some companions of a crippled RB I've answered this before discusses in his

1:02:07

our seminal callosum and in other books about some companions who lived a very kind of ascetic lifestyle people like there were two namely that come to mind Abu Darda and Abu ZAR ilaha fari now the thing is that these abuzer and Abu Darda are the allahu anhum these companions were very ascetic so they would not indulge in the general kind of they would not indulge in the general kind of lifestyles that people had they would live very kind of Puritan East lives so

1:02:45

how do you deal with that I don't need to deal with that that is the understanding the Companions of the time disagreed with them to the extent that Omar actually sent them out of medina and this tradition was followed by people the resident of us okay the last one right so this tradition was then continued by us manner of the Ilan and regarding osmanovic orignal RB in his book has a whole lengthy discussion on those things that they object to the companion and the Calif obvious I must mine if not fun really Allah on about

1:03:25

and he brings up several over a dozen kind of criticisms and then he responds to them Incred incredible sponder well merry Christmas to you incredible spawner and thank you thank you for watching right so this shows that yes there were one or two companions that had a very Puritan East ascetic understanding of faith but they were amongst a minority that was that were criticised for those beliefs during their time I'm not saying I'm not want to criticize them like that but the

1:04:03

Companions criticized them Oumar great companions and they actually even told them they they you know gave them the option and and financed them to kind of leave Medina the city of the Prophet because they said they were worried that their purity listviews would affect people's normal Islam right so I have a question can you tell us if Lauren and a bead both died in EastEnders got no idea I don't watch Eastern I don't watch these kind of soaps I do watch the TV series hell yeah hell we but not that celebrating

1:04:42

Christmas not celebrating having a little fun yeah why not why not what are you drinking pal the elixir of life my friend that's what I'm drinking right thoughts on reverts celebrating Christmas princess Johan I think reverts if if you have non-muslim family and they have Christmas get together I feel it's absolutely permissible in fact I think it's a good thing to keep good

1:05:21

links with them to go to their Christmas dinners if they invite you that is you know to give them gifts you don't need to eat pork or whatever I mean you can eat the halal food and do whatever but I don't feel it's forbidden I mean my understanding in fact I feel it's a good thing you know what is interesting is I came across the the the old kind of Journal newspaper article the Crescent being shared extracts from it being shared on social media that were done in the time of the earliest Muslim community settlements in the UK and

1:06:00

Liverpool by Abdullah Quilliam and it's interesting that they have that they had their I don't know whether it was a monthly newspaper or a weekly but it was called the Crescent and in there they discuss what they did for Christmas and it was really interesting that they said they got together and spoke about the merits of the Prophet Jesus in Islam and they held it's worth reading I mean if you google it you should be able to find it and how they invited Christians and had that kind of meal with them obviously they used halal meat but it

1:06:39

was really interesting to see that obviously I'm not saying we have to necessarily do things like that but if you are from that community already if you already have non-muslim family christian family or just non Muslim family then by all means partake and and kind of go there that's that's what I would say it's important to keep links to keep family links I tell you because look mark my words people mark my words this Puritanism driven by this kind of

1:07:16

superiority complex of I'm better these people all going to hell I'm not allowed to do this driven by hate almost I tell you I promise you it will burn out it will burn out it may take three years five years ten years it will burn out right now when it does burn out you will look around you and find that you do not have friends or family standing there because you burnt them you burnt those bridges you destroyed those links you shattered

1:07:54

the hearts of those people bite from in your intoxicated deluded state of superior spirituality you burnt all those people around you and I tell you it will be a very lonely place later on and I say this because because I have met so many people who have burnt out I'm telling you so you could look you could you don't have to mark you don't have to believe me but you will see it to be true how was the me

1:08:33

the other day with alle da WA Wow okay Muhammad Ali alright I don't know Muhammad Ali's it was very good actually I was visited the other day by some brothers some of whom I'd met before had a pleasant conversation we'd saw Ali Dawa he was very active on social media there was Musa nan and with them so once again very active young young people young uns the young uns Mathews make us feel all old now right so these guys young young lads all very active on social media and they had with him

1:09:12

another brother Mohammed hey JEP I believe he's very active as well I think are in Hyde Park speakers corner and things like so we had some very we indulged in very interesting discussions right throughout the night as vampires as we do till about I think it must have been about 3:00 4:00 in the morning and very interesting it was very respectful I think it's fair to say look there's many things we disagree on but I thoroughly enjoyed the the dialogue I

1:09:49

also think it's fair to say that they may have underestimated honey don't worry but I think it's it's fair to say that I think you see sometimes people come across some of my views and because on Monday nights with Mufti I can only kind of discuss them to some extent and I joke and I laugh and I do all of these things and I think sometimes it may give an impression that all these views are not deeply rooted like they don't have strong foundations to them it would be

1:10:28

quite easy to kind of dissect these views nah no no no don't make that mistake they I I tell you you will find these views more solid than steel right so just because I joke and I laugh know with certainty now what I teach you is firmly based in the Quran and the Sunnah and the inherited practice of the people of Medina and it will not be easy

1:11:05

to go through make no mistake about that people as the poet says that which lse done good elation Mahanagar on EIT that some people who out of their kind of righteous indignation and they came to collapse to destroy the wine house that's what the poet says I'm only coach

1:11:43

LSE them coach Ali Hashem Muhannad irani hide their leaves courtroom couture hey they caca put her body he says that they just touched the the Gateway and then they just walked away they realized this this brick this brick and mortar that has been used is much more solid than we anticipated so I'm not saying I'm not saying that too but that that that evening was was awesome it was very

1:12:20

blessed I loved the company and I loved their sense of humor you know with those brothers with moosa adnan ali Dawa mohammed hijab may you know god bless them all had I love that that they had a good sense of humor they enjoyed my kind of crazy wacko sense of humor we had a good time we had a good time I like that so yeah that will that went very well right all right so let's see ayoub el Miley I know some those of you just tuning in click like click share people get this live feed out there let me see

1:13:00

what else have I got Mufti Delhi Jeremy Roose wanna come I was this you ask good questions does he answer them none so far now it's page Barry White some people are like just dissing each other what's this question suicide is Haram but what about Muslim soldiers or spies who commit suicide behind enemy lines to avoid being caught and poach it to reveal information also in many situations in the indo-pak

1:13:39

partition women jumped into wells to protect their honour and avoid being raped you see look I've answered before the lighten a bus hello aapke hot very hot up you happy right so he's asking will I answer his question of course that's what I'm here for I'm only here to answer you I start over doing it right so look I've answered before this whole concept of suicide in Islam it's not in I I believe that

1:14:16

religion had to take a harsh stance on these things because it couldn't it had to make sure that people don't give up I don't think in essence per se that people who do for example commit suicide in those circumstances that they are not they're not forgiving or they're it's not understood I think in look sometimes in some situations people will do that and it's understood in my I would assume this is my understanding that these things would be understood and they would not they would be what we caught you what you call extenuating

1:14:54

circumstances and it would not necessarily be deemed Haram in that way I don't think it would be although I would discourage and strongly discourage any I would always emphasize hope and I recognize that sometimes people will be driven to despair and they would choose that option I have said in the past as well that I feel that Muslims ought to open up it would be good to see Muslims having a discussion on euthanasia and not just the kind of the

1:15:33

kind of passive involuntary but also on the voluntary kind of Ethernet's I think would be interesting for Muslims to open up that discussion and i-i-i think from a secular perspective i've said this before that i think it i kind of condemn the the stance of the of the british government on this in not allowing that for for people from a secular perspective because i think that if people were in critically in certain shapes terminally-ill then it's their

1:16:12

life it's their choice that's what i feel that from a secular perspective i feel that there is no discussion on this and i think the arguments that that have been put forward by by kind of British tourists and people like that I don't see them of much strength but that's my perspective okay so those of you just tuning in click like click share people let's get this fittin facade out there but just to make sure the live now bus as I've answered your question I do believe that there is some scope for things like this I rest this also on the

1:16:51

fact I don't agree necessarily with this but while I'm about to quote to you but there was a photo of some of the of some of the Mali Kia who spoke on different on a topic that can touch up that can touch this kind of a topic and it was to do with if you were on a ship and the ship was drowning and you need bright and the ship was drowning but he could survive if let's say it lost one

1:17:29

third of the people so people so scholars like Apple Hassan and left me the dawn Maliki of his time who has that as he can scan you see that lengthy kind of whole commentary they call the top Sarah that is his book and he's a legend of the Maliki school somebody who has his origins in Sicily and then North Africa now his patois and teaching was that it was permissible to sacrifice one-third of the ship for the other two-thirds of the ship which I found a

1:18:07

very interesting fatwa not that I would ever like to be in that situation and I definitely would never want to be on the side of that one third but the interesting thing here is what if the one third voluntarily that's how we could tie that in here but I will Hasson allow me who is a Maliki Don and I'm quoting this Maliki tradition of radical each D hard to meet the issues the challenges of its age obviously today I you know the day and age has changed but in his day and age people were traveling

1:18:46

by ship a lot and sometimes they faced these circumstances we some people were prepared to kind of maybe throw themselves off to save the others could this be permitted in Islam and he gave the ruling he gave the ruling that yes you can and he based that on what he said was the Maliki understanding of masala Hell masala okay so right so I'm not burn honorable not that I agree with those but I'm trying to show you see

1:19:25

what's more important people see what's more important is to understand the kind of sometimes it's not the fatwa but it's the thinking that's going into it that people are seeing that the scholars of the past were also very radical for their damage so when you hear me saying these things you're not shocked yeah I mean you will probably still be shocked but you see it's easy to be weirdly strict and stringent and say no no no no no to everything I was going over the this discussion let me

1:20:03

see and it's interesting who I mean I've been over in the past I've read it before but the other day I was reading through sorry I was listening to Oh stars harlot double father who has some YouTube lectures now with his Institute the usally Institute and the scholar that I was speaking about Muhammad al-abbas Ali he's actually a teacher of Khalid Abu fadhl who is from I think he's from America or Canada I'm not sure now very enlightened scholar once again senior in age and so he and he mentioned this once this issue once again and it

1:20:42

reminded me about it and it's worth sharing that you see in the past in Muslim Spain when Muslim Spain had collapsed in 1492 what is on your head all right that's on my head people right so right so in 1492 after Muslim Spain collapsed and right so after Muslim Spain had collapsed some of the scholars in North Africa were giving very these kind of fad was like one Shelly C was

1:21:21

amongst them who is a great scholar generally look just because you disagree with some people on some points doesn't mean that you have to disagree with them on everything okay so let me look at that's messed up my hair people so right now right so the thing is look now one should ec right I'll put this over here to give that Christmas feel how's that right so one should ec he writes

1:22:00

that look it is haram for any Muslims to remain in Spain in in mainland Spain there it is and it is an obligation that they all migrated to North Africa or to different parts of the world right so now right now so it's interesting that you look at one sherry sees but to a hard-line and he said it's Haram it's like shook it's like this it's like that but there's another very interesting Malachy of the time now this Malachy

1:22:38

sorry just got all that kind of these threads in my hair and face so this this Maliki called Maharani now Wahine is a Maliki from mainland Andaluz and his fatwa his fatwa was that no absolutely not Muslims can stay if they want it's not only is it fine to stay but if they are worried about praying they can just pray with ishara they can just go like

1:23:16

this just look like now I'm looking straight ahead now I'm doing real cool now I'm doing so dude he said that if they were worried about doing who so they can go for a swim if they were worried about doing whoohoo they can do TM um if they're worried about doing TM um they can just look at the wall and look at their limbs well though I'm not sure how you'd look at your face no but what he meant is look at your hands and then wipe your hands over your face you see this this was chef Warren E a sake of the Mali Kia who was responding

1:23:55

I mean his 4:12 if you juxtapose it with the photo of one sherry see who is from the Mali Kia but you see a difference worlds apart both are firmly based in this Deen so yes one sure DC is being strict because he's thinking look these people their lives are in danger there you know we should be strict with them so they move and they come over here whereas Maharani the Maliki Don of his time is saying look know that islam adeno you sir

1:24:35

the Dean is of ease if they are if their safety is compromised they can make compromises right so this is this is interesting so this so what I'm trying to show here is going back to Imam Lamas fatwa of saying it was permitted for one third to sacrifice their lives to save 2/3 on the ship it's not so much agreeing with their opinion it's more I'm more fascinated in the cogs behind

1:25:12

the mechanism behind the machine that's interesting I know luck look at that I know luck the eye more like the evil eye you know we had an interesting discussion on the evil eye and I said look I said the evil eye is not established by the Quran or some nanny seems to contradict the teachings of the Quran and some map all right so

1:25:57

right okay anybody just chatting nonsense he gonna get blocked right so now all right so the interesting point is that right so coming back to the evil eye we had this discussion on the evil eye and I said look that the belief in the evil eye seems to go against the Quran was Sunnah now I'm not saying it goes against the Quran hadith but goes against the Puranas funa because as Imam Malik said not every hadith is the

1:26:36

Sunnah so now when we look at this it was an interesting discussion and I think it's worth sharing there's a hadith aligned ohok but first of all right first of all this hadith is speaking about the eye nobody takes this hadith literally because the hadith simply means the eye but Muslims understand the eye to hear be referring to the evil eye so everybody is interpreting and I said the evil eye

1:27:14

which is synonymous with the term Envy has a reality to it in terms of its consequences so how you act out on your Envy has a concern to it so that's what the hadith is talking about right so now what is interesting is I said look you tell me if some part of this discussion the other person had

1:27:48

said well look God allows people to afflict cause affliction using this evil eye I said okay let's just look at this for a moment let's just look at this we are saying that you can do things like cause cancer cause bankruptcy cause somebody to break a leg caused a car accident cause mechanical default in a car you can cause a building to dilapidate and collapse by simply looking at it and even unintentionally I

1:28:24

said that is this what we are is this right what we are talking about because that is absurd because you are speaking about right you are speaking about you are speaking about cause and effect we know how cancer comes about we know how

1:29:01

buildings collapse this is not because somebody you looked at somebody so I asked that how can this happen how can this happen how can they be cause and effect how can you call cellular mal reproduction how can you cause somebody to go into bankruptcy how can you cause a car accident by just looking at them so they said well look so they said that well yeah no you can because Allah enables this Allah enables this so I said well okay right so he overrides the laws of nature and the laws of physics to help

1:29:41

you cause some harm I said can I ask does he also enable you to do good things like does he also enable the the helpful I like so if you look at somebody and you cure them from cancer you look at somebody's car and it gets fixed you look at somebody and he becomes a millionaire and and and the ways that no that's that's dumb okay so the person said no right he doesn't do that so I said ah so let me get this right god only facilitates evil things he

1:30:19

doesn't facilitate any helpful things I mean what kind what kind of a God is that that only facilitates evil like if I'm to say well you know God he allows the evil eye but he doesn't allow a good eye what kind or an angel I read one I like the sound of that angel eye he doesn't allow an angel eye let's say so that's absurd so that's just an evil God is not the God that I know al Rahman al Raheem so believing in these kind of superstitions

1:30:59

contradicts that the head of Allah it contradicts the Sunnah of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam it contradicts with the overall message of Islam okay so it is so evil I is our English for what we call what they call nor do Nasser or in Arabic align these words are synonymous with the term Envy that's all it is black magic as well it's only simply mind control hypnosis thinks there's no such thing as actually

1:31:38

impacting and causing harm through black magic now about that I've got a very lengthy video on YouTube that I'd code deliver with chef Akram Nedley and you can watch that it's on Facebook okay now right now can someone do it stay hard on behalf of someone else's on someone else's behalf how do self-proclaimed Islamic scholars do it live on shows this is Tijara is absurd okay it's okay before let me come to step out I'll just finish up on the three codes look the

1:32:18

three codes like color law had or Klaus available fill up or pull out a bit up in Nass do not mention anything about the evil eye in them they've got no such thing to do with evil eye and they're simply just seeking refuge in God from harmful things you one could use them about the magic but the truth is that that they were revealed in Makkah long before the incident of Medina there's a falsely attributed incident that the Prophet had magic turn onto him this is not only a blast blasphemous it is dishonorable it is an affront it is offensive to the honor of

1:32:55

the beloved beloved Messenger of God Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to say he became clumsy and and and forgetful and didn't know what he was doing and made-up statements and forged memories and according to certain narrations became sexually impotent these kind of things are an affront they are in soul I find them and immensely derogatory to the honor of the prophet muhammad salallahu alaihe salam and they they are they are narrations that have been either misunderstood or manufactured by people who wanted to attack the honour

1:33:35

of the Prophet or they've been innocently kind of relayed by others so that is so that's as far as them so to say the Prophet in Medina had magic turn on him and the angels came and told him about pool available for luck which by the way the Prophet himself knew because it was revealed so many years ago almost 10 years ago in Makkah but and he knew these verses all the time because he used to read them all the time but he forgot about them and the angels came and reminded him and he was so he was so forgetful and this lasted for half a year the Prophet was so forgetful I find

1:34:15

that so offensive as a Muslim I I find it shocking that Muslims pride themselves on these beliefs that is disappointing people disappointing but anyway coming back to the blowing or knots that is mentioned I do explain that I mean sure enough Authority fill our card is to do with other things that are associated with that so all the things in so allowed bearable Falak or to do with generally associations like Allah says I mean surely a second is our table I seek refuge from nightfall as it descends but nightfall is an evil why

1:34:54

are you seeking refuge in nightfall because it's associated with other harms I seek refuge Manhasset in either asset from the envious person as he has NV y NV is an emotion that doesn't harm you but what's associated with the envy in terms of actions I seek refuge from the women going or not why the women growing or not doesn't make but from the social ramifications of superstitious beliefs and losing faith in tawheed in the true oneness of God I seek refuge in that so this was to do with associations and

1:35:30

consequences right so somebody says you are not a Salafi scholar people if you want to be safe right so listen those of you asking about Haru and Maru not haha not Harun Haru tan model please watch my lengthy lecture I've gone into much detail it is on Facebook you can search it it's on magic it's called debunking myths okay so if you look that up as to the istikhara question cool thumb it's a good question those of you just tuning in click like click share get this out there let other

1:36:10

people share the goodness people share the love is Christmas after all sorry I've still got that some threads from that mask right so right right now the thing is right fit to do with being impotent what is to do somebody asked could you still get married if you are impotent you can but I think if if you are if somebody is sexually impotent I

1:36:48

mean I'm sure most of these things I believe can be medicated and can be I believe cured or if not cured dealt with through medical intervention but let's say let's go with the understanding that it can't and marriage doesn't have to be sexual although I'm sure that's what everybody watching this is probably all the men are probably but okay but I suppose it doesn't have to be it could be for many things it could be for companionship it could be for just friendship I don't know it could be for helping me support moral support

1:37:27

convenience in life and getting on it could be in having somebody cooking clean feminists are gonna go mad now I mean it could be like look I could I could hire somebody to cook clean iron my clothes wash my clothes do all this or I could just get married [Laughter]

1:37:59

relax relax me for hold your horses don't get so uptight with these things relax I think feminism is such a disease right so anyway coming back to this thing relax people women hold your horses don't worry when it comes to Fatah 1 your Savior I will give you the fat hour that will show you that Islam makes your life easy so relax relax I don't hate women definite act that

1:38:37

would be Cooper if I hate it with me that's God's gift to mine on this earth right so but I do feel this uber feminism is it is a disease it is but coming back to this question so yes if a person is sexually impotent and it can't be medicated then I think it's it is permissible to get married but I feel it's it's obligatory to bring this up in a discussion with whom you wish to get married to okay so I think it's

1:39:16

absolutely necessary that that is done it is haram to mislead people so you couldn't kind of get you couldn't kind of I don't know kind of start chatting to a woman get to like you I mean you could do all that but you couldn't then not tell her these you know refused to disclose these until you're married and then you're like well then you like well I'm sorry but on the bright side can I can I'll crack some jokes is it late enough or we passed the watershed you can say well on the bright side there's

1:39:55

some great manufacturing going on in factories and that look that would be Haram okay to mislead people like that because I have had several cases that I've kind of spoken to cases where people have done that where they have married somebody and they've been sexually impotent and they in some cases they've managed to medicate themselves but in other conditions they couldn't and they've not disclosed this in those situations the woman is absolutely if she wishes she gets absolutely entitled to a lock if she wants and that will be

1:40:34

granted for her through through Islamic Council so but I just feel it's Haram to mislead like that but as far as the marriage if the woman was okay with that then it's absolutely fine to have a Makar to have a marriage if that is the situation if both people are happy with it you know what can anybody else say me I'll be Vera's Ito Calcutta Kazi that's the work and if they want it then it's all good right raus raus shirt says hello hello right back said shut up what is this hedge thing who is this

1:41:16

right well that got blocked right now coming back to Easter Hara Easter harder let me explain what is to her eyes people let me explain let me have a little drink huh sake I'm a good soldier the home what's that poem of Abdul Hameed Adam get Jam kozara thumb make good soldier ah hold on to the drink for a while I'm thinking about something right so if Sahara is this practice let me explain what the practice is first of

1:41:54

all so you get an a caution what if a brother wants to get married to a feminist well people do have masochistic tendencies I'm joking marry whoever the hell you want man it's all good doesn't bother me whoever you want to get married to get married to right so look if sahara is this practice let me describe what the phenomenon is then I'll come back to the Islamic ruling people will contact scholars MPs and chefs and all these

1:42:32

things be these kind of people and they will say right I'm thinking about taking certain decision in life can you do this special holy prayer that will make it goal well for me then other people will say this that's one version the other version is people won't get the share for the beef to do the special prayer for them it is a right some see this is one of the problems with all these busy dreams I have now just discovered an awesome drink by the way I discovered it

1:43:08

just the other day its Lipton mint and lime green tea iced tea epic epic people epic I'm gonna I'm gonna order myself I'm gonna stock up on that so but anyway coming back to to this the other thing that people do is they don't get somebody to pray this prayer for them they do it themselves so they kind of pray these 2 rakaat and then they ask tell God ok god I'm about to go to this job interview or usually I'm about to

1:43:46

get married or I'm going to do this so I'm praying this istikhara and then what they think is going to happen I'm describing the cultural phenomenon they go to sleep and they see a dream God is talking to them in the dream God saves to them in the dream that hey you you know shows them that for example they're really happy in this dream let's say they're about to get married and this can play out as my dummy so and there you are you're all happy

1:44:23

hey in your dream so you think wow that's a sign from God that I should get married oh you have a very tragic dream horror nightmare so you're thinking whoa that's definitely you know a bad sign bad omen no do not marry this person so this is this is and if you don't have the dream on the first day then they keep doing this and hopefully they will have dreams for seven days this is the cultural

1:44:59

phenomenon that is that is referred to as istikhara now now let's come to the analysis of this this is absurd people this has got nothing to do with this I mean it's got some Islamic veneer on it but it's absolutely absurd okay absolutely absurd right now look somebody's asking there about the discussion look I've already said about that earlier on about what chef srr has said I have already set certain things into motion in sha Allah you will be

1:45:39

hearing and seeing things in the new food near future right but coming back to so these things look there is no there is no Islamic evidence for this kind of nonsense okay right this is if anything is a nothing but superstition let's go to the Islamic understanding of istikhara Islamic understanding is to seek blessing in something okay to seek blessing in something now the hadith that the

1:46:18

Prophet teaches a dua that why don't you if you're about to do something you can pray 2 rakaat two units of pray and you can make this dough odd that there are weeds Ya Allah this thing I am about to do if there is harm in it please remove the bless it for me make it a source of goodness for me in this world and the hereafter that's what the door teaches that though I does not say Ya Allah give me a dream you know tell me am I meant to do this am I not meant to do this in fact

1:46:53

according to according to the according to the actual hadith you have already decided that you are going to be embarking on that action so what we've got him in society is nothing but a folkloric superstitious superstitious ritual which has destroyed destroyed the lives of countless people honestly does that though I have to be said in Arabic no according to the Maliki no it doesn't

1:47:31

it doesn't according to the Maliki math lab the school of Medina any two are even within pray within Salah does not have to be said in Arabic okay so even in Salah you could be Institute you can make dua in English and Halil and all these other people in Maliki fit right there in their texts and they say could be discouraged if you knew Arabic what takara as Khalil says he says that it is discouraged to make to are in non Arabic for somebody who knows Arabic but generally it's fine it's not her arm it

1:48:09

doesn't invalidate your pray but okay so coming back to this point so really this is nonsense I have spoken to so many people who have said do you know I married this person because I I didn't think it was right for me but I I offered esta Hara and I saw a dream I'm thinking you probably wouldn't even buy a pair of shoes based on a dream am I wrong I guarantee you one of you none of you would even buy toothpaste based on a

1:48:45

dream I guarantee if you saw it today if you use Colgate let's say you're oral-b or whatever and you saw a dream with Maclean's or a different brand brand of toothpaste I guarantee you you wouldn't even switch toothpastes and you went and got married not because you wanted to because you had a dream I mean it's hardly you know like I have a dream

1:49:19

for God's sake dreams what does Allah say about them in the Quran and the hearth or alarming Allah this cluster of nonsensical information in the brain right so somebody did ask there about the Israel Maharaj I've answered this before in fact last week I've read from the text and I showed that there's been a valid difference of a opinion from the time of the companions that did the

1:49:58

Prophet physically go to Jerusalem or as for the yard and as I believe even had judge failure and as so Haley and as evening is half transmitted did he go in a dream was a vision and some companions the great some great companions like the wife of the Prophet Ayesha and the great companion Maharani Allah on whom believed it was simply a vision in line with the verse of the Quran imagine Allah wrote yeah that in surah 2 lizra we did not make the vision we showed you

1:50:36

except a fitna for people now they believed that I find myself in line with them that it was a vision this is what the verse of the Quran I'm going with the apparent reading of the Quran and I am in blessed and great company the company of Aish and are we are or their long run home so I'm having a Barak in a vision there's no harm in that because it's still a vision so in you can have many things you know because the Prophet is traveling through he's seen people here he's seeing them over there he's moving about then he's seen them on skies and there's some parts of that which everybody would

1:51:16

agree is a vision so for example the Prophet is seeing hell he's already seen people in Hell being punished now held pit nobody's being punished because the day of judgement hasn't happened so nobody's already seeing people were in paradise nobody's gone to paradise the prophets saying things like look oh I heard the footsteps of Bilal behind me none of these things are actually happen these things that people are saying everybody accepts these things as vision the question is was the rest of the a vision so some companions held that you can disagree I'm not telling you no no

1:51:54

like an ar-15 there's no compulsion in Islam you can do whatever you believe whatever the hell you want don't worry about it but if you want to take this understanding which is the apparent reading of the Quran and it was the understanding of the some of the great companions some of the great companions and that's the okay to ste Sahib let's hope you are sincere to you

1:52:23

would look at the attacks the attacks hey what is your take on all this rockier stuff and he JAMA you see all these things as if not all doom that Don Maliki scholar of his time right even a whole Abdur man even her own the great the father of sociology he writes as well as other people have written as well people like even eschewed the share holy s--t lamb of his time the Grand

1:53:02

Mufti of the Malik here my indirect share people and you indirect share now that I'm transmitting his knowledge to you these people have said look these things were not these things are not the vine like copying and things like this this was just a practice of the Arabs okay some people did it the Prophet was a person of his environment they practiced it this is not Islamic medicine contrary to us some people like even if they emerge Asya took this later on to believe like it was some kind of religious divine it wasn't it was just

1:53:40

medicine of its time this I don't personally believe beyond the superficial kind of benefits may be found in copying I don't believe it to have any great significance it was also a big practice amongst in Europe amongst Christians in the 17th century bloodletting was a huge practice and there's been many experiments and things done on it it doesn't i know people feel it's really beneficial and that's great and sometimes it can be good for blood circulation to certain regions that don't get blood circulation but otherwise it doesn't really have any

1:54:19

miraculous cure as i don't believe it does i mean if you want to that's absolutely fine but i don't i don't personally accept that and that was the understanding of many of the great malachy of this ummah now alright so somebody said oh dear alright so what else have we got did you manage to answer it for him I didn't hear it no I don't know what these questions are going on about Oh coming up - should we take some file to do some

1:54:57

rapid round questions people your views on rupiah my views on Rukia are these things I explained in my X on my video on debunking myths on magic how there's been much study done even in Harvard Medical faculty on how rituals take the same pathways in the brain as certain medicines and neurotransmitters do they kind of have an impact they trigger certain newer friends meters and cause neural activity in the same way so I feel that Rukia and stuff

1:55:35

like this is not an actual cure for disease or I never said it was a cure for disease I feel that some misguidance when people are saying that because I'm law said the Quran is she fare only mathis to do it is a cure for what is in the heart he never said it's a cure for disease so if somebody you've got cancer you don't just sit down and start everybody reading Quran you go get help if somebody's got an illness the Prophet said to dowell seek Dawa he could have said what why are you seeking the one sit down and read the Quran how would I talk me I wanna stab em up mean are you

1:56:15

not somebody who believes the Prophet never said that he said tada rule for in a llama and zelada and Allah WA ins illallah o Shiva and Allah has not allowed a disease to manifest except he set for it in a perfect balance a cure I leave my home on a limb Raja healer human Jail those who know it will know it and those who remain ignorant will remain ignorant now look so the point is that no way right no way does the Prophet ever say to

1:56:52

people do not he kind of tells them that rukia is the medicine for things yes in in an incident the Prophet kind of said to the the people who did this the Sahaba did this and the Prophet kind of says oh how did you know that the Fatiha had this and don't I teach you that they are with my portion in that kind of meat that they get the fish meat but this was not the general practice of the Prophet there's no harm if a person wants to do rakia if they want to do that that's fine I would I would see these things are simply permissible not as something that is emphasized massively in Islam it is

1:57:32

not in my understanding it is medicine it is medicine it is medicine okay if you have a health issue seek medic systems do not sit down stop that's my understanding you can do that but I feel it's incredibly naive you know if somebody's need surgery and you say no no let's just read the Quran that's not going to fix their surgery okay and in the past it's it's actually quite it's interesting to see that when several in the past cities of Muslims were about to be attacked and one of the things they did they all sat down and started

1:58:08

reciting and and and war and they were just looted and and this is actually there's some very famous incidents like this like they sat down and the old-style reciting the Quran and they started reciting hadith and started reciting and the Mongols that just came and they just lauded them you see there are a swab for everything there's a military defense strategy there's medicine this economy this religion is not those things do not miss do not conflate these matters you will only be

1:58:46

met with tragedy so so these things yes there's there's been examples like this in the past with the Mongols and other things where Muslims started to resort to they start to think that I know that what they could do was recite and somehow they would be saved but they wouldn't just as Christians did that as well like in fact you know you see in the Vikings the monastery like let's pray that that will save us from the Vikings blessed are the naive lost Brock

1:59:23

Ragnar lothbrok so let's take some rapid round questions people what are we looking at let's see water water we got some rapid round questions and then we'll are you most as your Facebook suggests Abu Amira ji yes check you out for your name you give yourself two vowels a blue with to use and for me you forget the I care here zoom what is this kind of oppression yes

2:00:01

so I am a Mufti I'm sorry to disappoint right what are you drinking right now there are people that go to Makkah all right so okay what are we what are we looking at people rapid round questions what is your opinion on Trading cryptocurrency cryptocurrency is permissible anything trading in anything is permissible people obviously I don't mean in weapons of mass destruction but trading in anything that people trade in that traders normal traders trading is

2:00:38

absolutely permissible Islam needs to be relevant people Islam came to be relevant do not do not kind of do not be misled Islam is here to be relevant okay that's one of our greatest tragedies of this century is that we are allowing Islam to turn into a mythology and become irrelevant but everything is just

2:01:15

no no no no no no no and then everybody does these things anyway but Islam just simply becomes this kind of folkloric superstitious mythology in the background please discuss what is our nuts and who controls it nerves in modern the standing isn't this kind of thing inside us it's like it is us it's a part of us it's how we interpret our desires things like this obviously some people could say it's the limbic system within the brain I'm not sure if but the point is it is basically our desires

2:01:54

that's what it refers to I think these things are different aspects of us and that is the nafs being our desires the intellect reason consciousness I think all of these things are kind of linked and that's unquestionable in my understanding best lines of poetry their poetry is awesome whether it's in Arabic or do and I encourage everybody to read poetry have you read the poem take my horse and slaughter it wow I haven't actually sent me the poem majority orlimar say it's not

2:02:34

permissible as there's no transaction of physical goods Muhammad caca that is true but the majority of the olam are today are really just a few Allah MA they are just clones mass reproduction of a few Madhuri's fumé addresses that are just mass reproducing and the truth is not democratic my friends we do not believe in a democratic truth truth is the truth so what you're talking about or views mainly from Saudi Arabia influenced by Salafi thought all from indo-pak from India Pakistan influenced

2:03:13

by the madrasah system they what about all the other 40 plus Muslim countries right so the point is this stuff is not this there is no harm in trading in these things so somebody says yeah but no physical thing exists yes my friend but many things today are a social entity intellectual rights are a social entity they do not physically exist and this is why the Hanafi method struggled so much in the past the other methods

2:03:53

allowed to sell a a space they used to say well how are they used to sell the air above this air space above the roof and where people could then build but that was not a physical thing and the Hanafy method in the past made it Haram this is why musty tepee worth money and other people had to do gymnastics with all due respect to him may Allah bless him but had to do gymnastics literally in his fit to kind of say this is permissible in the 21st century why because you have to say permissible not to add also to add that there is perhaps a conflict of interest because

2:04:32

he owns books and he wants copyrights to his own books so other if he says copyrights don't exist in Islam then people could just sell his books and rip him off so there's a conflict of interest as well so now copyrights do exist he was saying just but the other methods accept these things anyway now so not everything has to have a tangible property it has to have a social reality okay you have to remember social construct most of our world is built upon social constructs okay our human world actually if you stripped us from social constructs we actually

2:05:12

wouldn't recognize this world and this is why I mean this is why certain philosophers like Wittgenstein had said that even if animals could speak to you in a language that you understand you could not comprehend them because they wouldn't be part of all these social constructs which we have so gender is gender is okay is gender a social construct I think male and female is is biological but man and woman is social

2:05:49

is a social construct so that's that's true so some part of gender is a social construct some part of it is biological obviously having male anatomy it makes you a male and makes you a female so some animals do recognize genders as well they recognize male females obviously all the male animals are marked the over the females generally speaking they do recognize that but they don't so there's a distinction between male and female which is biological anatomical and objective factual and between man and

2:06:27

woman which is a boy and girl which is part of a greater social construct how long were you considered to be a traveler most often when you're going away on holidays the difference of opinion the main schools recognize that to be the Maliki method says four days excluding the day of arrival and departure so including them six days now so that's generally the school of Medina the Hanafi method takes it up to the 15th day right so it kind of has a huge stretch on that is race a social construct race is a social construct but

2:07:07

ethnicity is not so ethnicity has its is based on biological haplogroups and DNA that that we carry within us and can be measured scientifically ethnicity is separate to race race is based on things like culture and nationalism so somebody for example you could draw a border so Kurdish people let's say they could be part of Iran and Iraq now this person could be called Iranian which is a race and Iraqi whereas technically they share the same you know so s Nick they're the same racially they could be different so

2:07:45

race is a so has a social reality to it it has a legal reality to it so you could be racist and that could have legal implications ethnicity as a scientific reality to it what is feminism and should we endorse it to some extent I think feminism in terms of speaking for women's rights should be endorsed and championed and women rights should be spoken for then there's a kind of what Steven Pinker and other people speak about this kind of what they say that we have a decadence in civil rights

2:08:24

movements is an amazing video clip of a brief lecture of Steven Pinker on YouTube if you search it speaks about civil rights movements and in a state of decadence and political correctness and why these things today have lost their meaning feminism today is also most be a part of that so you have the early feminist movements which were built are like which was a civil rights movement and those things were true and they had a genuine cause to them and they were speaking about rights but along the way you see people have found themselves today without something to fight for and

2:09:03

they want to fight for something like they want to feel important so they've turned petty things into civil rights political correctness they want to control language they want to control what you say you can't say this word you can't say that word you can't do this you can't do that Oh everything oh why do men appreciate women a woman's beauty that's being sexist why is this that's being sexist you know it's like everything is turned into a gender issue everything is turned out these kind of things are just they just like these movements are toxic that

2:09:42

is toxic femininity that anything a man asks you know why is a man asked me to do this he should go do this him but if the man does it oh that's just being a gentleman but if the woman does it she's being a slave you know this is nonsense like you know if if a man does something oh you know how he's very sensitive he's very in touch with his sensitive for woman does it all she must be oppressed why and I tell you these people who get obsessed with these they suffer they suffer the consequences so I do feel that is toxic that kind of femininity is not

2:10:21

femininity feminism is toxic so yeah so I hope that answers that is it possible for non-muslims to go to paradise of course is possible each none shall enter the kingdom of Allah except by His mercy nobody goes by their actions that's a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad's Allah Allah Allah send them everybody can any Allah once he can send anybody any way right so that's absolutely permissible why am I wearing a necklace because it's awesome hell yeah people

2:10:58

hell yeah so the cut of platinum bars I don't know how to calculate this account on that right people okay I think with that let's call it a wrap it's been with it somebody just this block one last person on how to overcome toxic I don't know how to overcome it I think look just my advice would simply be to really women and to hopefully not get caught up in stuff like that but not to conflict that between rights the waive rights are an issue that should be

2:11:37

prioritized and paramount within not an issue these superficial things shouldn't become an obsession cool people with that I'm gonna leave you to it those of you saying right we'll leave with the words of a lot that was subhanAllah you were to Allah I'm my Yossef hoon that a wise above what they ascribed to him well after salat wa salam I don't quite a little mum noon and the best of blessings and salutations upon the Messenger of Allah who said Al Madina to hide on the home low can you yeah on a moon that Medina is better for them if

2:12:14
