just focus on this for a moment what an amazing time to be alive in seriously history has been made Imran Khan is a legend that totally love what he stands for I love that the party in that sense and it's not about you know things like it's it's basically a socialist group a socialist party from a grassroots effort that has risen and taken government that is unheard of anywhere in in the entire

world almost that especially in any democratic country the parties are usually it just fluctuates between they're usually the two main rivals or whoever they are in whatever part of the world for an independent party in that to a socialist party to a rock to rise and then sweep sweep the floor a la la la in South Justice people anti-corruption and this hope for for Pakistan and I'm I'm incredibly excited I think there couldn't be a better

person in Pakistan than Imran Khan so and you know what's funny is I I shared before the elections the night before I shared something about the whole thing saying you know may I hope he's successful stuff like this so people started to comment so people started to say things like oh do you know he did oh do you know he committed this sin I was like and they say why doesn't this

way I was like can somebody remind me what he's campaigning for is he campaigning for prophethood - is he trying to appear as a new prophet for God's sake the guy is running as a candidate for the prime minister just let him do what is his job for God's sake Oh Buddha's in this is why we as Muslims are in the situation that we're in

it you know contain it so what's going on folks what's going on right those of you yeah so I've actually what I'd say an interesting note was people are just tuning in and those of you that have already tuned in if you click like click Share and get get this out there right so what is interesting is you see I feel like for substantial amount of years been like impressed with Imran Khan and he's kind of slogan for justice and anti-corruption but I've seen even

people around me and people in Pakistan and other places where the majority of the people have been so even though they've respected him like said yeah he's a great cricketer and so on but they've been so anti him politically - right - to a complete I've seen that sentiment do a complete 180 turn and that's amazing I think somebody should do an analysis on that how do how do you do that how do you get the public sentiment within like a decade to completely go from oh don't be

ridiculous to everybody just wanting oh not everybody but a lot of people and I know it's part to do with the fact people are just fed up and they want change so ever I love from Somali all right right back at you all the way to Somalia I should actually start I want to introduce some more welcomes in the beginning in some other languages so if you say it any different in Somali in Somalia then let me know in Charlevoix so people what else is brewing in terms

of fitting in facade I can see I've got a lot of people wound up somebody's actually just said awry why an ink on you son Kulu meaning cool aluminum I don't know what what's where I've just now I'm probably getting like edited and that's gonna become a meme in I don't know in Somalia now where I probably just swore for all I know right look at

this my shoutout Nomura wants a shout out check this up shout outs going on people okay I add media to JK see what's become of the world people what's become of the world shout out to my son Robinson I'm here alright you doing it doing it people doing it so what are some will tackle some questions I've in America we say sup mother [Laughter] some people are right did you have any feedback from ex-muslims

I'm not actually sure because those of you who haven't watched my people the twirl look at the but last week's episode was kind of I focused a certain part on responding to criticisms hurled at Islam by non-muslims and actually I want to clarify this a good thing that you've reminded me I want to clarify something we see during last week's show I made a statement where I was saying that people these X Muslims should show

a certain amount of respect and summer I mean I'm sure many of them do but I was saying to some people and it was a request to kind of be a bit respectful now people said to me well how come you mock and I was like oh damn they've caught me out how did I know you're gonna catch me out if I knew you're gonna catch me out I wouldn't have said that so then I was like oh yeah Pokhara yeah so no the thing they see just to

clarify I want to clarify here when I was saying when I was asking for respect what did I mean I actually said if you watch my last week's episode I actually said I said clearly that you do have the right to criticize I believe anyway you because you're not a Muslim you have the right to criticize Islam in my understanding you do if you want to because you're not Muslim so I you know I I respect that and acknowledge that right if you were to ridicule fine as a Muslim I you know naturally whatever a

person has an inkling - they will prefer that people don't criticize that but you know you can't have your way you can't have your cake and eat it and not get fat it doesn't work like that does it so now what I you see what I'm trying to say just to clarify because some people ask this question what I was trying to say and I did say as well but I think some people misunderstood it is if you are going to criticize Islam if you are going to criticize Islam even if you're going to ridicule Islam you know it's your choice you're not a

Muslim you may choose to ridicule concepts within Islam first of all I clarified about myself I said I usually mock concepts as opposed to religious figures I don't usually as far as I'm aware not conscientiously I don't mock I don't know if I've ever done that but I mean generally by my by principle I don't i mock Princip I'm Ock kind of concepts that said if you are going to criticize Oh mark or ridicule an Islamic point I do feel that you have that right to do so but at least don't what I was getting

upset about was that people were resorting to fabricated stories and then ridiculing Islam based on fabricated stories that was out of order that's what I was saying okay life from Martin and Martin land all right I loathe Island no idea where that is but wherever is much love people live from California right California this is such a it just sounds like such a cool place I agree the intelligent people coming here

intelligent people don't mock other religious things I agree but what I was trying to say is I also agree that people have a right I do feel that people if they don't believe in something do they have the right to ridicule it or tamaki I'm not saying they should do that I'm not saying they should do that but they have the right to do it do they have the freedom to do it I believe that they do have the freedom to do it my understanding that but I would I don't advocate that people should do that or resort to that but if they did they have the freedom to do it but I feel that if they are going to do that at least make

sure the concept or the thing you're going to ridicule is at least authentic and original and correct it's not like if I make up a story about let's say Christianity or Hinduism and it's not even true and then I start mocking it what on earth am i doing because that's that's a dishonest that's that's a academic dishonesty that's just a disservice that's just wrong on all levels you always will be welcomed here shukran shukran shukran much appreciated

but when you criticize concepts then most people will take you there you criticize Islam me criticize Islam tauba tauba tauba why would I criticize Islam what I criticize at times are certain concepts that even if certain Muslim scholars held concepts but it doesn't make them sacred it doesn't make see not all Islamic rulings have to be sacred they just opinions like there's an opinion that there's opinions of for

example incest in Islam rising when I say in Islam I mean some Muslim scholars in the past have said if you had children that were not born from wedlock it was permissible to marry them which i think is disgusting stupid and I would just call stupid stupid okay I would criticize the the scholar that said it but I would criticize that opinion as a stupid and I think there's no harm in doing that we shouldn't kind of get all defensive as in like oh my god anything a Muslim scholar has said you can't criticize but then if that's

the case then I too am a Muslim scholar so up wouldn't is also a Muslim scholar so in that case I to qualify by that license that you can't criticize anything I'm doing right so so the point is as I was saying so people have said things like stupid things in the past you know like and people say things like this is that photo of a scholar or what if the Kaaba got up and started flying around everywhere I started like kind of

dazzling you should you change your direction in the pray towards the Kaaba and follow the kappa or should you just continue to pray in the direction that's like what are you smoking [Laughter] what is your what's your special potion man what are you on that and you get ridiculous stuff like oh if a guy was starving he could just I don't know why I'm laughing

he could just kill and eat his wife horan absurd statement and that it's not in a euphemism sense sort of euphemism there he's saying you could actually kill and eat it what a stupid statement and so you get sometimes stupid statements being said by people by intelligent people so even great people can say sometimes things that are not so great and there's no harm in calling that out and saying that that you're a great person but this one

not nice this one bit stupid anyway so people what else has been going on right so I guess your wife is halal for right well I guess she is oh you meant as a general statement right so what else what's the question why not stream in YouTube yeah I should do I should do at some point I should very 8 you know have some variety

thoughts of ex-muslim video on to missing salon no no no okay right now what they were referring to is some people have raised the question that there were some companions an extreme minority some company one I mean it's generally generated from one I think from evening miss rude but they may be like one odd of the case similar

to this we these companions thought a particular - I like a lot - Tina Caronna stuff Erica what you know the famous do I this was part of the Quran now why did they think that first of all we're not 100% sure that they did think that because a lot of these narrations sometimes to do with some Sahaba thought this about the Quran and some Sahaba thought that about the Quran are actually not reliable at all but put that aside let's go with for a moment

let's just ride with the people let's say it was the companion did think that why did they think that well first of all this is a short do are and you get in a certain you get in certain hadith and certain teachings you understand that the Prophet sometimes taught because this was a part of Salah as well for certain people to out promote it's the are recited within the note that the Prophet to people certain things within certain manners as though he as though when he would teach them a show surah of

the Quran so is it possible that if a particular two are carried a certain style that resembled the Quran or any kind of rhetoric or onyx tile that one odd person may have thought you know amidst the whole Quran maybe that was a part of it as well it's possible but that doesn't bring a kind of doubt to the Quran it's not that you know they because it's in essence a short Dada has a rhythmic style to it the way the Quran does and because the Prophet taught it to them as other companions said he taught us to Alchemist the way he would

teach us Quran so some companion thought oh that may also be part of the Quran that's nothing so come it's not like oh my god the world's coming collapsing down on us or anything even if it is true that's not something to cast any doubt or anything like this somebody's asking for views on alcohol what are these views this views like there's like a bird's-eye view then this like that view and this like bah can't

view it what views are you on about Hamza put the bottle down no I don't know what these are the views I don't know what you mean by that actually so what's going down what's going down can you pray in front of something that has a face like like an imam as opposed to an imam that has no face

he just like he's like guess who definitely doesn't have to do nicob right yes of course you can pray Baha in front of like if there's photographs or if there's cartoon characters or you got logos your salah is fine this is something although we did grow up as kids thinking that you can't pray like that but that's not true Salaam Mufti where are your thoughts on countries such as Egypt banning Salafi literature by individuals such as Mohammed Abdullah

herb right so even at emia share them the bus if they mean is this the best way to remove extremism from all right no that's you see I am personally I don't like censorship you know I'm all for kind of freedoms freedoms yeah I'm a liberal kind of liberal in that sense no do I look liberal I'm a liberal in loving Liberty Lippard and that's what

what I'm talking about so the question is would I advocate banning books I don't really advocate banning books per se I'm not really down with that I mean governments do it and stuff like this that's the decision because I think when you ban something as well you create a more like a fascination about it so you create an interest and people then want it but I think they should people like the government ought to

rather than just ban let's say even a taymiyah or Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab or the Salafi kind of literature what I think they ought to do they spend some goddamn money and how about create online platforms like decent like how about give all as are a decent website for God's sake we they actually can spread and disseminate some of that balanced knowledge throughout the world it's it's the most V you know the most Ange

that we have today center of higher learning throughout the world Eliza that is continuously still running today and yet it doesn't even have a decent website where you can find opinions I mean what on earth is going on so why not invest your energies and your efforts in trying to promote a balanced healthy understanding of Islam is Isis misquoting ability Nia's fatwa on the Mongols which fats why are we talking about goat well other and tell them to

update okay well right now you want me to can you explain them about music I've explained this so many times just watch my clips the hadith about my Asif that a time will come when people will make these things halal like for example alcohol and adultery and massive entertainment this hadith isn't even saw here Buhari blogs II like I'm not being I'm not just joking like check the chain the

chain isn't even connected it isn't even connected remember Hadi doesn't even say he heard from the person so that's the first problem there and then why is he mom Buhari using a chain that he himself can see is not connected what happened to his high standard you know that I will only put things in this book that are totally perfect what happened to that standard so why use a hadith that has a hasn't said this is a fabricated Adi this is in he he was one of the first people to catch out Imam bouhanni he said a

naughty naughty you tried it he said why did you try it with that chain because that chain of transmission isn't even connected so right so what's going on what's going on if you could be any animal what would you be yeah what are these games what games are these people playing what's happened to the younger generation what

kind of may I ask Hammad are you doing how you doing if there's any outlay for a headstone on a grave right Oh most first of all there's no thing as a head you know like a tombstone these things are not tombstone isn't necessarily Islamic but it's not something I don't think Islam is against tombstones either it doesn't Islam

doesn't want people worshipping graves because it is LOM abhors superstition and the irony is people have turned religion and including Islam into superstition right so sorry just trying to read these questions so I hope that so people about as far as tombstones are concerned you can have them you can have kind of like some writing and stuff there's no there's no prohibition in Islam for

things like that mustache that go what beyond the lips Oh Haram behave you know these things about look mustache or beard or stuff like these these things are just etiquettes they're just etiquette so they're not like she like haram cuz remember the standard people you're saying Haram is something I believe which if you do God ought to punish he ought to oh you know this is where we come and we forget our role

this role reversal and we start telling God why he ought to be doing so so God ought to be punishing somebody we believe this is what people the definition of Haram - the Hezbollah Bob it deserves punishment well over a mustache babe the questions that matter or male piercings permissible yes they

are male piercings are permissible I mean there's no look like I take you talking about an earring or something like this piercings in general are not like something in my understanding which is Haram because you couldn't say it's how it's and unless you are going with the arguments like some chef at yeah I've gone with the argument that it's to cause harm to the body and therefore it's Haram but then they would have to be consistent and they are so they say even women can't have any piercings but if you're gonna say women can have them

then men can't have them why this discrepancy how can ya this this one gender inequality so so it is permissible and many people in the time of the seller used to many young boys would often have earrings in my Malik's own son Warren earring and imam malik discusses the ruling of young boys wearing earrings of gold and the interesting thing is he says that the parents for the boys shouldn't get them something for golden but he doesn't say that the earrings were wrong he just says that they

shouldn't be gold for boys salam is there any Shara and tacky of the rosanna of little Malik look at that little Malik young Malik lil Malik is always some rapper I like it I like it so if Dobby say the theta 1 e is the Maliki dawn and legend who passes away in the late 300 hey Jerry so about a thousand years ago over a thousand years ago now he has a book holder is Allah the kind of like the letter or the

message and and there's many many tacky carts in fact there's so many in my previous kind of shows I've gone through some of the new books I've bought that have been that have recently come in to kind of the commentaries on it this several over there they're a bit out so I can't just reach them unfortunately otherwise I would go through them now but there's so many kind of commentary some recent you've got quite a few tacky card if you go to Najib way their website on they like a kind of editing team and histology boy Ahmed Najib Oh

Ahmed Najib is his name but he has a team which kind of they dedicate themselves to Maliki scripts so they've come out with quite a few amazing kind of products so inshallah do check those out is the pre valid if I pray with shorts above the knee is the prayer valid

yes it is valid I take it you're praying at home and you're not the imam of a mosque either you turn up on the man sobs they in his boxer shorts Imam sounds like a charm that would be a bit interesting wouldn't it so you see would the prayer be valid yes the prayer would be valid because first of all most of the methods especially most of my labs believe most of the schools of law

especially the Maliki school the understanding is the only thing to be covered is the kind of private parts and things like the thighs are just part of the extended older I like etiquettes like you ought to cover them but if part of them isn't covered it's not you know it's not something that so and then there's the opinion of certain Iraqi or but they're the kind of Molly Kia and this opinion I'm actually inclined to as well of the of the Maliki R and that's like legends like Adi smile who was at dawn at dawn people he really brought to life the school of Medina in Iraq in his

day and age he's a few generations after is from the teachers of people like Imam Bihari and stuff like this that kind of Eva so he's a few generations just after Imam Malik but khadi smile he he kind of infused the life into that region of the Middle East for the school of Medina and really brought to life but his opinion was that and his fatwa that covering yourself is an independent ruling to Salah so Salah is a separate ruling you can

pray and covering is a separate ruling so technically even if a person prayed naked not that you should you know I read I read this book once it was actually a book written by some selfies about there was other it was against Sufis but it was a small booklet but it was so there were extracts from a book called I think Taba cartas olia or something like this one of these books so they had stories in the end this was snippets from thee and it was a call to kind of ban or to renounce that book and he was saying

look at the stuff in there like you calling these people earlier and look at these stories so it said like one of the the I don't know I can't remember it was but one of the people in that whose biographies in this book of alia he said from his Karamat I'm from his kind of miracles is that he would often give the hotbar he would give the sermon naked that that's from his miracles Allah and from his and the way it was worded it would say I'm from his Karamat radi

allahu and may allah be pleased with him then he can adjustable or yemen he would he would deliver the sermon naked that was his I don't know if that's just made up but apparently it's in that book and so they had this booklet kind of catch just to to say what on earth is why have you guys not kind of renounced this book anyway so that's coming back to this question so if a person technically prayed uncovered the Salah would still

be valid but that would be a separate matter in itself that why were you not covered so that's a separate issue hence if you remember a while back there was this viral clip of some some girl praying poolside and it was all over social media and she was like in just some swimwear I think just like a bikini or something like these or she was just and and she was praying by the pool so this this clip that was viral and all Muslims plus somebody from afar was kind of recorded a clip and said Oh old like look at this girl kind of like well this woman praying at the

side of the pool dressed like that so Muslims were all kind of what I strike down upon thee with great vengeance and you know and he was like so and at the time I made when I was asked about this I said look although that isn't the Islamic Etica but people should just leave people alone and I said that look for examples because who these people are saying the salah is invalid it was the point of praying and i actually said that well actually according to like the school of Medina and Maliki method the Salah would be fine according to people I call thee smile so like so you guys

don't some whole point was that you don't even know the Islam you're trying to preach like you've not actually read it because if you had you read up you would know that many scholars actually said that the Salah would be valid and that it's a separate matter that why is the person dressed the way they are so yeah so why are in Azaz why are people so judgmental they really are they really are judgmental and the worst part is religious people unfortunately are very religious people are the worst kind

of it's shocking actually how judgmental religious people are because you think like if you found God you ought to be kind of all peace and or at least have some peace and contentment and therefore not judge people have you seen the Instagram post of you with over 300,000 views oh is that one of my naughty naughty yeah unfortunately people I've fortunately or unfortunately I've become a meme welcome to my world people I've

become a meme a la create the heavens and the earth instantly with khun chayakorn a lot this brings me on to a discussion so I've seen I've heard this thing and seen this clip of her she comes the Youssef and some people trying to really attack Sher Hamza about some clips are to watch this brief clip and it's called I think it's titled as something about the trial and error of God or attributed trial and error to God so basically Shae comes to yourself I

think is responding to or he's discussing because I've just seen that clip evolution in general and he says well I would like to he says that all the books written by evolutionary biologists are usually devoid of religion and all the books of religion written on evolution seem to be devoid on evolutionary biology but I'd love to you know see some research by somebody who combines the both who combines both you know both the angles now so that's yeah hum duel I think that's great nothing and then he goes on to say and

this is what the clip or the people who've posted this clip are trying to attack him for he says that look what if evolution is true he's he says that look he doesn't bother me like he won't shake my Eman if Allah chose you know for there to be evolution that's fine and then the way he says it in that is like if a large hose for creation to come into existence through trial and error then it won't shake my mind he says for you know we learn as human beings through trial and error so people said oh my God he's attributed error to Allah

you know Muslims they have the right so people obviously condemning shape I'm the you surf and in the usual judgmental style so this this whole thing I think look people just hate and they need to kind of chill out and see what is a person saying he's saying very clearly that if Allah chose for there to be evolution then what's the big deal

that's what he's saying and because I personally I think you could you can't deny evolution evolution is a fact now as far as we're concerned and then the greatest evidence is not fossils its DNA genetics is the greatest evidence its evidence people it's not like you know that this kind of stuff isn't now Muslims are just embarrassing themselves by trying to resist this we are nothing but reminiscent of the church that try to oppose people like Copernicus and

Galileo and these can wait nothing but reminiscent of that like you know we are just that's what Muslims are doing now and in a few generations to come or decades to come or maybe add on all Muslims that will come much after us will only just look back at us like man they were seriously they were seriously special-needs when it came to they would just think like damn modern they'll just hang there you know drop their head in shame think Muslims are so embarrassing yeah can we believe humans involved yes we can't believe why can't we believe that I've

said before that the Muslim discussion on evolution varies it goes from some people believe in like the Christian suddenly everything appeared right or sorry in six days everything appeared so they believe in that kind of Christian way of things and general Muslims don't believe that I don't think they do a lot while on what they actually believe but my understanding is they don't but they're just not sure and then certain Muslims believe that there was evolution all the way except Adam wasn't evolved he was just created and in some Muslims believe

other evolved to like people like the futur after sabor Shaheen and other scholars have written this in their books and and and they've shown evidences from the Quran and all of them have got evidences from the Quran so it's no real big deal this kind of stuff doesn't negate in our understanding is Adam and we are taught that you are the children of Adam how Adam came about isn't something that's really a matter of faith like Allah wasn't trying to say okay this our created Adam where are you gonna get a test on this that's a silly that that kind of right why are they so

many Muslims having misinformation about a lot of stuff you see this is a huge problem and it's because we are our greatest enemies in fact you know I I was listening to a one of the books I'm going through by what's the author's name is Holloway it's it's a history of religion and he has an amazing statement in me and I've come to at the end of the book now and he says that that in essence religion is

a much greater enemy of God than atheism and and he said and then he kind of expands on this statement but it is actually very true that religion and religious people not all but many and religion is a much greater enemy to God then then atheists because look a theists say that God doesn't exist we believe let's say we believe God does exist going by hypothesis and our belief that God does

exist God would simply just be amused atheists like make us most God would just be amused like if somebody said you don't exist but you do you would just be amused at their statement you would be angry it wouldn't enrage you that oh my god you think I don't exist you'd find that amusing if anything like but whereas religion Institute let me inverted commas institutionalized religion and some religious people they present God

as a kind of monster as somebody who's cruel barbaric instructs commands genocide murder always wants his his certain believers to kill his other believers and and he wants and God wants this and God wants bloodshed and God wants this night that now if you let's say going by our hypothesis that God exists this misrepresentation of God would be something that would enrage God it would actually now's that something

that God would be enraged up because these people have misrepresented him as opposed to saying he didn't exist because that wouldn't be an enraging statement that would just be an amusing one at best so that is so true I told I mean I think you're lagging why did Allah destroy nation for not believing in him what nation are we talking about nation right so let's take some of these other questions right so this couldn't fire kun thing whilst we are tea so

historically there was a debate amongst Muslim philosophers including Imam has early in other people is this the best of all possible worlds and so in my mother's early you had said this was the best of all world's and people were and people found that of incredibly offensive statement because they said that God because the truth is Muslims believe that it was a choice for God to create this world he didn't have to create it and the way he created it was just up to him did it have to be the best of all possible worlds so it doesn't have to be the best of all possible worlds a locker of

created a more perfect but he left it the way he did and that's a different philosophical debate as in why and what's the wisdom or objective now mama's as early had said that this was the best like lace his famous statement was Lisa fill em can I say American and this statement that it is not within possibility divine possibility to have done something better than what was and even more Auto be the great Maliki legend not the Sufi Mohideen but all the evocative nard we from Muslim Spain he's a student on gazelian he he writes about

this is incredibly offended he says this was utter filth that kind of came from him from a society was really offended with the statement as were many of the Muslims so this discussion has existed in the past and you know did this I don't know if you guys are those of you that are into poetry they say they say poem there's a line by there's an order poet who's passed away John Elia his name is I think he was a Christian and then he was like an agnostic and don't

really believe but but he has a very unique style and sometimes it's a bit weird but some of his things are incredibly profound so on that topic he has a line where he says that har silicon that the result of like be and it is ha silicon here you Johanna ha that this world that we see this kind of the disasters and everything is a out of just the command-b and it was

hassel a Haeju Hanukkah robbed bus yeah he moon Quinta it huge let me he said that because that is all that could have been possible if you act in haste like meaning by saying be and it is it's almost an act of haste and and thus you have the kind of chaos that you do and I find it really I mean it's it's a kind of like a you know like a in a way like kind of challenging certain maybe

religious concepts or even one could say if that was the case he's challenging certain things but but I like that about poets that they have that kind of courage to to kind of sometimes voice the concerns through poetry and and Joan Elia is an amazing I recently I've taken a bit of a liking to some of his his poems it's he has this one I'll share one with you that he where he speaks about life and he says that harlot a

hard case of a harlot a holiday and that holiday Hartley's your status quo and it's like your your situation so he says to fix like because like human because we want to fix ourselves like we'll do things like work and spend all our time trying to make money and do all these things why to fix ourselves so we can enjoy so holiday Hulka suburb a holiday holiday that to fix my stew to fix my situation my status quo I actually lost my situation like I lost

everything because like I just wasted that life in this kind of hope in essence says holiday Hulk a suburb a holiday howl he gay sure shock me kuch nahi gay ashok is in the gegen allah like that he says that it's not out of choice or passion that i lost everything but it's that i lost as a consequence the life of passion that's amazing well I like some of his words are incredibly incredibly profound I

have to say but anyway that's for those of you that are into poetry but uh Joan Elia came from a Shia family no it wasn't I I think he he wasn't he wasn't Muslim he wasn't Muslim he was I think he was Christian or something and then he was an open agnostic he didn't he said he didn't really believe in God and stuff like this

we'll all souls feel punishment of the grave no that's not necessarily true I mean there's like I said you know this thing about the punishment of the grave and stuff like that am i understanding if people want to believe in it they can but I believe there's that diversity in this kind of thing you can believe in it you don't have to believe the Quran doesn't if you just read the Quran you wouldn't get that understanding that that that is true in some hadith you definitely will get that understanding then there's a discussion on I suppose

some of those hadith how authentic are they stuff like that and then also there's some discussion on do they even make sense some of the content of those hadith things like for example the person who never used to clean up after going to the toilet and then the question is well why is that a punishable offense like if you you know never I mean you could say well sure for pray he ought to be kind of clean or whatever but why is that in essence I mean that's okay it's unhygenic but why is it a punishable kind of like so it doesn't really make because generally

the scholars don't consider that they just consider that unhygenic so so there's some yeah the problem is that this became a sectarian discussion now anything that gets sectarian eyes it goes down the drain so this became sectarian eyes and in Muslim scholars we've wasted you know we you know it's like that poem that Holika Holika suburb holiday holiday this is this is what it is that we wasted like for the preservation of Islam we wasted Islam honestly we wasted it in sectarianism in

trying to just defend you know sectarian against this sectarian group that sector trying to do over that group trying to just dedicate all our reputations to this group wasted oh mudsy oh yeah yeah the ummah got wasted honestly that huge and then what we did was we messed it up for those who came after because we set everything in stone all this sectarian

creed all right so i do i do obligatory praying during my periods and feel not excluded because I need that closeness to the Divine Amy Amy G well we've got some live each they had going on okay I mean generally the understanding in might the general understanding is it's

a gift from God to and therefore the gift of God is not kind of refused so when God said women you know you don't need to do that it's as a gift not as a not because they impure the impure thing is a cultural misrepresentation and I've said that before it's as a gift and and a gift is usually kind of rejected but I suppose if you did you did - I mean it's not in the Quran it doesn't address this issue

at all about men I mean it addresses menstruation and obviously from a sexual perspective like sexual intercourse and stuff like that from hygiene but it doesn't speak about stuff like should they not pray and one could argue from that point that well if it was such a case if if such was the case then why did God not highlight it in the Quran I think that from just an objective point does hold some weight as an argument that said the general understanding that I would advise as well is that it's a gift as in it's like it's it's a token

of you know just from Allah that you don't have to do that and therefore I would say you just take that gracefully but if you did you did I well I don't think in any way you know most you've just prayed yeah it's not like it's a sin or anything you know it's not like Allah is gonna punish you for praying that that would be like the greatest irony in the Angels go throw that one in first throw that one in the Hellfire

that that one was a bit too eager to pray I think this is people are gonna be like what the hell is it's the slow yeah right oh okay well Amy smiling well there you go sense of humor hamdulillah the skit 5 praise but fine peace okay why did him and Malik not go to the Masjid did he pray Juma no because if Imam Malik

didn't go to the mosque where was he doing Jamaa in his own he was hardly gonna leave it from the bathtub obviously Juma is done in the Masjid mom Alex not going to the Masjid so he's hardly gonna be leading Juma or praying Juma me see Juma is really more so a kind of political act it has both it's like a mixed ingredient it has a political aspect if I don't know if

political is the right word I'm using political to mean it has an aspect to do with the kind of like leadership of a community and stuff like this from that I don't know if political is best to describe that word but so if not then okay dismiss the term political but it has a leadership as in a but an organized because it's more to do with like the organization of a community so it has that aspect and then it has an aspect of worship and the question is which one overwhelms the other which one

preponderate a lot people I to know vocabulary so which one is going to preponderate okay so now in this case some people said well it's going to be worship other people and I think many people do feel as well it is actually the political side or the other side so yeah so anyway when it came to Imam Malik these Imams by the way were never Imams in any machines okay you know

today we speak of all these Imams like like Imam Malik the legend Imam Shafi'i Imam Abu Hanifa Imam like we speak Imam Ahmed even humble imam bukhari Imam we speak of all these people none of these people were Imams in a mushy that none of these people were ever allowed to lead a Jamaa like imam malik would never have been allowed to lead a Juma pray in his life why because it was state-authorized it was only authorized

by by by the the kind of the dynast by the king or the kale if he only instructed who could lead Jamal Jamal was not done in any mosque it was only usually done in one key must one key mosque so that's the issue of Juma aside as to Imam Malik he generally did not I think in the last 25 years of his life he didn't he didn't attend the mosque and that - when you think about it was the prophet's mosque but he didn't actually pray in the mosque and when asked he said that if he goes he would just become kind of enraged by what he

sees and then he would want to tell people like he would just be annoyed and then he'd have to kind of and he can't stay silent so rather than go ending up kind of triggering commotion he'd rather just not go that was his actual response so and that was the Imam hanifa or Imam Malik had any degree like musty or something huh no idea what that means somebody's posted something in another language

right so also what else has did Imam Malik want to beat up those that completely shave the mustache yeah he did you see he said that it's not that he wanted to beat up like that sounds like come on it's not like he was a thug it's not like in my Malik you walk into his daughter said he's got somebody in a headlock you mom Alex kind of like there's my truncheon lying around here somewhere your momma leaks like come here you is that so it's not like it my Malik was a

thug or something you see the thing is that what my my leak from from he was like he he had like at times like a judge like position so he would certain times kind of give rulings and deal with people's disputes and stuff like that and when because people would ask him for guidance he really found this to be disgusting that men would grow beards and shave their mustache because he felt that he made a mockery of them so in one statement he said that if it was up to him he would he would

have them punished like sanctioned but that was like him not really like a literal statement he was saying it to kind of ridicule and the act in another statement he said that you know he looked at somebody who'd shaved his Tash his mustache and just had the beard and he looked at him and he said he said you know if the Shaitaan himself tried to give you a makeover he couldn't have done a better job wha Imam Salva that's

that's any man so basically that's what he didn't like that because it gave a funny kind of look and generally it's only the Hanafy school that recognized that as a religious act otherwise all the other school said what on earth are you on about you don't shave the mustache and grow the beard like you can trim but oh you know because it just looks odd that's all but the Hanafy is kind of keep it so you do get hanafis in the indian sub-continent that will shave off the mustache but then it kind of accentuates the upper lip in a in a strange way and but anyway I'll leave

the fashion style thing for for these people for another day what are we dealing with people what are we do right so i I've triggered some more drama it's the same drama same drama right it's the same just to differ day that's all right this thing on imam bukhari I made a Facebook post and people got upset right it triggered this people like why is this guy causing

fitten and facade and corruption yeah right I'm just after honesty my problem it's a curse I love honesty that's that's the problem so why do you have a trick no it wasn't actually a truncheon it's actually a flashlight thing but which is like a truncheon at the same time I just had it it just happened to be here so I just picked it up so the what I was saying is I wrote this thing about Imam Bukhari

Sahib Buhari and even though I've spoken about it previously I hadn't written anything so I've wrote it and people got unnerved ha ha ha ha what can we do our the mediator jkc how is a person an innocent person like me supposed to live people are thinking innocent innocent so anyway so what I

had said was that the the charge still stands people against the book of soluble Hardy and it's not in a wrong way it's not to attack Imam Bihari but the book called Sahil Bihari cannot be traced back to Imam Bihari with beyond reasonable doubt it cannot be so now that's so that's been the claim and I've asked people to subside

she proved I'm not the first person to say this but I've just highlighted it now people all kind of freaked out and I've mentioned one of the key issues begins with apart from manuscripts like that's one issue that we don't have a manuscript of Buhari until a few hundred you know at least a couple of hundred years after him put that aside and the person who transmits from Buhari is also somebody that is an interesting character because apart from everybody

saying he's a nice he's a nice guy which I'm sure he is nothing against him his name is Muhammad in the use of Al Farabi for oh you could say for every or the robbery of you know how I tend to say as Ferrari some people says what is it as a robbery but either way it can be read in either kind of now for robbery which sounds like February he's an interesting character because nobody seems to vouch for him in the hadith

world considering that he was a contemporary for with Imam Buhari even if he was junior to him but he was a contemporary with the likes of the holy with the likes of people like a boozer of a baja team of imam muslim of people like man nursery of imam term easy of you know it not be hard him like it's considering his is contemporary of all of these and then people even that are coming after even a hip and are cottony in all these great you know was it even a jose man these are the great

scholars of hadith are always commenting on transmitters of hadith never vouch for him as being a reliable transmitter of hadith now you see the way had these literature works it doesn't work in a crit some sense like it I mean it it it does have criticism but to qualify it doesn't work that by default you qualify you don't so a person who we have no criticism about he has a poor credit rating in the wall of hadith let me

explain to you our credit rating works it's a it's very much like our current credit rating system that we have for things like when you want to take our loan because your credit rating yes it is impacted by having bad credit that is true but even if you've never had bad credit in your life you will not have a good credit rating unless you've been using credit so unless you're somebody that actually has credit cards and makes repayments and those things like this you don't have a positive credit rating so like I

remember and this is a bit relevant just as an example this old lady wants on an interview on radio for explaining the difficulty on why English lady and why she couldn't get a certain loan because she had a poor credit rating and despite having never defaulted on any payments because she didn't used to use credit so it's not negative but it's not being vouched for which is the problem with credit ratings hadith works in the same way they had that same credit rating system that to accept you as somebody that could transmit hadith

you had to be vouched for not just neutral so it's not enough to say nobody criticized him you had to vouch for him and generally at least two people had to vouch for him so the question is for every for every every time I've gotta say every time I say his name is really but nevertheless corroboree the problem with him is nobody vouches for him okay contemporaries aside what about his his juniors what about then why don't

they vouch for him cuz to them he's senior you could say well to his contemporaries they probably thought oh he's just you know nuke as like a fresh kid on the block you know we're not gonna really talk about him but what about those who comes about our junior to him they ought to look up to him none of them vouch for him nobody the first person to vouch for him is what 200 years after him that's very nice isn't it like how on earth have you much what and this is the problem you see we have to be just

because look if let's be honest people if we saw this same thing in Christianity we would rip it to pieces we would say oh ah but the Gospel of Mark was written circus seventy years after Jesus oh oh that's not reliable oh now why is it we act like that when it comes to the Gospel of Mark or the Gospels in general may have been written from 80 to 120 years after Jesus I mean

into you know CES re now after Jesus Percy common or Christian era now yet so decades after Jesus this has been written many decades after and we then therefore reject them as Muslims were highly critical the question is why are we not being objective when we have when it's our literature we have to have the same standards we can't kind of say well no no it's okay so so I'd highlighted one of the key issues is Salim Behari only comes to us through robbery who

nobody seems to vote for as a reliable source for hadith then the second issue is that from Ferrari his key students that transmitted from him all disagreeing stem cells and they disagree substantially and you know and some people have tried to respond to my argument by trying to say things and this isn't just my argument but this argument by trying to say oh and they've tried to play it down now don't do that this are not nice my friend because this one misleading so because the truth is

look when you downplay something you like if you're doing it on purpose that's like lying it is lying in essence it's it's just a lesser lie because you know that yes if there were subtle variations like chapter headings and they changed things like that but they were huge discrepancies they changed the chains in hadith they changed the names they had they had certain things that were nonsensical statements in some of the that didn't even make any sense like it doesn't even make any sense or read one out to you as an example like check

this out right now on momento momento por favor let me see let's go into mine I brought this up too actually because some people had asked and I thought well known you're about to write so see like Poland Buhari so-called Bihari envy this is in the Abouzeid who's one of the students he's a rated student but by the way his copy doesn't generally reach us but he's one of the

students of ferrari abu zaid al-marwah see now some of the Andalucian scholars later scholars based their thing on him now abu seder Marazzi in his copy he has Buhari saying the words rock Allah Abu Darda and Abu Darda Radi Allahu unsaid film Murray now Murray in general is all Murray is to do with the kind of like it's it's like it can be a kind of like a superfood and it can also similarly be referred to as to a particular camel as

well and that's in a certain stage of life and stuff like this but in this sense I think it may be referring more so to that soup okay that kind of like dish but whatever is referring to it doesn't matter the point is ah da da da da da Phil Murray so Abu Darda said regarding the Murray now listen the script is the beheld hamara and Nina knew worships right that just doesn't make any sense like that system like the baha'i used to slaughter Al Hamra he

slaughtered the alcohol and Nina no Nina no isn't even a word as far as I'm aware I don't even know what that what is mean and it's not worked it's just like just like wash humps and the Sun so check this out he says what how the third baton Theory why the Abizaid what Haley so the rewired abu zaid has this statement and other than him but according to RBC like this was some of those who did rely on Abu zaid's transmission he was from northwest Africa and some of them in al-andalus like a sealian others but according to

Kaaba see mother Ruben Ali had crossed this out but in a sillies text it was they been Italica talmidim al mahalla so Mahalo explains that in Asahi and he explains why obviously crossed it out because it didn't make any sense he said lemme or if not no it cannot but - so - Ali he says because this was just a safe somebody's just written something but I don't like he doesn't know what they were trying to write but this is just nonsensical statements so look that's in the content but you have the actual names in the chains that are

varied like complete changes including hundreds of hadith missing between them hundreds so let's be fair right let's not downplay the argument let's try to we can try to tackle a so on that now somebody had highlighted somebody had sent me some of the Saudi scholars you know the Islam QA kind of websites they tried to answer

this question these ads right so here's the question he's asking this is chef mohammed saleh al Majid from the salafiyyah and dealing with this question he is asking about the original copies of sahih al-bukhari and muslim and he's gonna answer them first of all this argument is not so much just to do with the copies of regional copies i'm not just saying the argument is not just

where is imam hadees book himself because that's not the issue the issue is imam bukhari in the last few years of his life was deemed a heretic by most Muslims so they considered him I think unjustly unjustly that was wrong for them to do that but they did so they deemed him a heretic and so nobody used to take her these from him so in the last few years of his life nobody is transmitting hadith from Imam Ali sorry from Imam Bukhari and Imam Buhari is just kind of like he's rejected from towns he becomes an outcast

nobody exhale into certain towns and cities they don't even give him entry in entrance now so so this is his life in the last few years of you know in the in his last few years and it's it's a tragedy really because Imam Bukhari himself is a great man I'm not dissing Imam Bihari he's a great man and I and I would strongly disagree and actually I would condemn anybody trying to condemn him as a person that's not fair because he hasn't actually done anything he's just somebody who struggled in his life and

tried to write certain things in his attempt the question is his book is this his book this is the question because if it is how do we know this is his book is it in is entirety is it what is the margin of error is it 30% 20% 40% worried how much OVR we uncertain about and which way does the margin of error fall this is the problem so I do have a detailed talk about this by the way so if you have a feeling that you can listen to it it's on YouTube you can

subscribe to my youtube channel if you haven't already then what are you waiting for you infidel you can subscribe to my youtube channel but I've got one there about I've got this discussion there about sizing Buhari and I go through all of these but let's see what chef's salad manage it has to say so he says one of the most important things of a Muslim who's acquainted with classical legacy is that he should understand that stirring up doubts is easy and it's something that anybody could do right even about basic given

things and common sense and blah blah blah this is how we deal with these so-called specious arguments what is it with these movies and these kind of like and the usage of rare words but anyway in reality nothing but illusion bla bla bla bla bla let's get to the juicy stuff if the questioner meant original copies as in manuscripts what the author wrote then okay but that's not what these

issues are about because this is not about Imam Bo Hardy's copy this is the copy that Ferrari had so rubbery had several students his own student like among damn he had people like al most amiable - most amiable Haytham Alkesh me honey edible mohammed acid oxy al hammer we he had people like about my journey he had people like even a second and bazaars he had people like he had quite a few a shovel we he had these students my point is what muslim lee says is that we the

students used first of all he says that the copy that Ferrari had was incomplete and we used to edit it as we go along which to move things around and do all of this if that was the case and they were all copying from his copy why have they all got different copies it's one big problem you know so ok so he says I want to get to this he says however salvo Hari was heard by ninety thousand men from imam bukhari himself as was

stated by his most famous student Abner use of Al Farabi most famous most famous student nobody's even vouch for him this is the kind of fame that nobody wants most famous that oh yeah is that famous that they all forgot to mention him this reminds me of this a famous Arabic poem

where somebody sarcastically said he says he says Karenina Walmer Amin Halina omen Jerusalem motto but basically what he's doing is saying something it doesn't mean anything like he's saying we like saying we are as though like the example of us with this water around us they were certain like like a river around them he says the example of us this water around us is like a group of people who are sitting with water around

them so it became like a famous line in Arabic that can now Alma or Minho Lena Oman you loosen whole our mouth that it's like you that you're trying to you're saying something and it doesn't mean anything like what so this this whole thing of when people keep saying Ferrari is the most famous student of Imam Bihari is he well did anybody say this Oh later people said it oh that's because Maharis book only came to them

through him so he became the most famous student like talk about recreating history so there must be honesty people they must be academic integrity you know so these things are important these things must importante you know you can't like this is like you can't really get so because you see what a lot of these people what I've read on a lot of these websites is people have started to give Imam for every the status as like he was the greatest student on remember

Hardy and this is not true at all at all is not true he was just one student and this statement let's go through this statement by the way this is amount this is for every statement he says that there were 90,000 students of Imam Bihari that took from him the book directly ninety thousand and none of them are alive today transmitting it except me that's like when you know what me and my mates sometimes cool when you're on GUP got mode this is like when you know

when you want to give a cup a cup is like a slang for I mean it's this is Lang for like when you're blacking something like an utter black like you're not even blinding is utter like now so now this will just be gum so this is a month robbery going on gut mode that there were 90,000 students direct students of imam bukhari nobody is transmitting it today right except me like you think they could see and I

think being like bring it lower a bit this is too much you've blacked it a bit too much here even Imam they're happy on this statement had to kind of apologize and say sorry guys he said that he overdid it on this one this this ain't correct so anyway sorry I'll manage it the Salafi Imam is using that to say that wow this is the status of robbery al Ferraris narration of so he was famous because he lived for a long time okay fair enough robbery live for a long time

but that's not why it was famous because they were much greater amounts they were actually great scholars are who were students of Imam Bihari like Imam Muslim who refuses to transmit his book by the way tell me thee who refuses to transmit Imam Mahdi's book by the way people could say well they had their own books and they don't want to do that ok fine but there were great other people it brahim of no mark Alyn sfe one of his most senior students of imam bukhari his thing disappears all of Imam Bihari students this Ferrari is a very junior student he's very young compared to

remember Holly he comes much I mean he comes he meets imam bukhari but he's very young compared to him I like to the to his of the students all of them humble Hadees are the students they either don't transmit his book or it seems to disappear within a century so so anyway he says he heard it from him and trustworthy people heard it from him almost humbly heard it from him and he even transmits here look is one of those who says I copied the book of Bihari from its original tag with even the use of that cell Ferrari and I saw that he had not completed it

yet that it's true that even among bhaji the Maliki scholar says that's that most likely true for every copy was incomplete so somebody said today look we have these copies of these people of even a second and these are the great scholars and even a second is is a great half a the hadith but even even a second the question is this even a second is taking it from frippery does he vouch for robbery does he like

somebody cuz they were why else would he take it from him maybe he took it from other people as well but we don't know because he's this copy that reaches us today the main copy doesn't even come through even a second so people all the way have been kind of patching copies together and they've been contradicting each other so look if mahadji relies on a copy pile hurry we who relies on three key students of robbery are Muslim Allah and Mohammed SRC and kushma honey but then a boozer Allah and there's another famous manuscript known as the Karima

manuscript which is based on Kozma honey but then a booth Earl Harvey himself says by the way kushma honey wasn't even a scholar of hadith therefore he actually deletes removes a lot of the generations coming through kushma honey but yet the Karima manuscript solely relies on Kashmir honey whereas one person is saying cooch Mohini is not even an a person knowledgeable about Hadees and another so what is going on and none of these reaches in their entirety so what's happened is people have patched things together so I ask

people look don't get distracted if you feel that you can answer these questions then bring the original copies don't kind of have patched up copies today and we should just be honest that with us the truth fine if you want to accept them still that's fine and I'm not saying we should not accept Sahil Bihari so people have asked me what are you saying then are you saying we should throw Sahil Behati away I'm not saying that because there's a lot of valuable things in there there's a lot of you could take things that you could corroborate them you could take a look at language you

could take a look at people you it's part of this heritage it is a treasure that is part of this heritage but when we're going to attribute it to the Prophet we have to be weary that we have to understand that look this there's a reasonable chance this is not what the Prophet said so let's make sure the information we're about to attribute measures up to the three standards that one does not go against reason - it does not go against the Quran or establish sooner because Imam Malik and Abu Hanifa

drew a distinction between hadith and Sunna does not go against the Sunna and it does not uproot an Islamic principle if that be the case then fine it's good enough you can go with it to make rules but we should be weary about information so some things you can't actually make rules from there just information like oh the Prophet one day stopped over somewhere and did something like that's not a ruling that's just information the problem with information sometimes it's fine but sometimes it's got horrendous things in there like the Prophet married a child this comes to us through these isolated narrations now

you think well hmm and it contradicts itself within bihari on several other you know in in some narrations Ayesha seems to be much older not in to do with the marriage but in other things she's talking about oh yeah I remember when I was in Makkah and that surah came I was a girl that I could understand that surah and I could but to be so you would have had to have at least been so old but according to this narration you would have been one years old or you know oh sorry one year old or two years old now that doesn't make any sense so according to another narration inside Mahadeo she was participating in battles

when 15 14 year olds were being turned back so she obviously by that time must have been much older because a 15 year old boy is still you know even if a girl was like 16 taking a 14 year old boy on a battle would be of more use than taking like a 15 year old girl even or 6 and definitely then taking a 10 year old girl so it doesn't make any sense and that's inside Buhari so people we need to kind of look at the whole narrative and this thing about I want to add a

note here some people said oh this thing about this since I've mentioned about the Prophet this hadith about trying to say the Prophet married a child this is false it's nonsense I'm making that very clear it's nonsense and I made a comment on my facebook post because somebody shared something by somebody saying oh you should listen to this person because you know when an academic I'm just saying and I have great respect for so they shared a particular article I don't know where there is an article or video clip of dr.

Jonathan Brown now I have great respect for dr. Jonathan Brown I've messaged him privately at times and she's messaged me that's and I have the utmost respect for him as a person however this article this book or whatever is I think he wrote it a long time ago I don't know if that's his opinion today I sure hope it isn't but you see the point is just because now you have a like a person who you feel is presentable and you're gonna say oh it's

okay to justify child rape or child you know molestation child abuse because so-and-so person in an article may have said oh it's fine because people in that day innate this first of all people in that day and age did not used to marry children that young that that did not used to happen so there's a big difference between saying people in the past did marry girls did get married when they were 13 when they were 12 that did happen that did that may have you know I'm not saying and that did probably happen in a lot of you know in many parts of the

world however they didn't used to marry six-year-old girls like let's just get that right they didn't used to do that so people need to stop saying oh yeah these to marry six-year-old girls they didn't used to marry six-year-old girls and then to say well it's okay and I want to highlight an irony that you know it's ironic that recently there were these articles on social media where some newspapers trying to say that pedophilia is a sexual orientation it's

not a it's not a it's not a sickness or whatever they're trying to say that it's a like a sexual attraction to children is a an orientation this is your some article being shared on social media and people condemning that and I think rightly so I would agree that you know what the hell this kind of and it's not about the academic side in it the academic side I think fine people can listen to that but you got to understand that this is clearly leading to just child abuse right so yeah I

unflinchingly I would condemn that because it leads clearly to child abuse but okay put that aside for a moment that article Muslims were sharing this and saying oh my god oh my god and they're going the odds and I would say I would agree with them in condemning this saying oh my god oh my god yet they were the same Muslims some of these who are saying yeah but the Prophet married a seven-year-old like they are the same people who are saying yeah but the Prophet married a nine year old oh my god but this person thing is attracted to a ten-year-old is like is

so disgusting but oh but the Prophet married a ten year old oh but no but it's okay because 10 year old girls back then look like 20 year olds what 10 year old 9 year old girls look like what like 20 year olds what kind of what kind of steroids were they feeding them like what do you what do you think that what do you think they were feasting on steroids of course they went they were malnutrition if anything they were suffering they were they weren't living like feasting what do you mean like oh a 7 year old girl used to look like an 18 19 year old girl what the hell are you

on about what kind of a stupid response is that so we need to be clear and I made this statement that look we as Muslims oh it to the Prophet we as Muslims who believe in Allah and His Messenger oh it to the Prophet to not describe him as a pedophile and to condemn these narrations so that's what I would say and I strongly urge that and and I do feel that Muslims have because of their denomination and their sectarianism they've given in and compromise the honor of the Prophet so that so that's a

you know so just to kind of clarify that so yeah I think I should move on to some other questions people know what but it's true but look people today let's face it people are gonna say well why are you you know condemning oh so-and-so scholars haven't condemned this well firstly we're not responsible for what scholars did but it's like you would today like people today most people in the world today would condemn slavery

it's true most people I hope all people but there are unfortunately you know amongst humanity certain shayateen as Allah says in the Quran that you know you know in society in the devils of mankind that may think differently but I don't think most people around the world today would see slavery as an abomination that it is now the question is we see in the past people looked at things differently I accept that but in my understanding Islam set a trajectory that when mankind would reach that it would become Haram and hence the

molecule Ummah were amongst the first all am I like some of the the great scholars of Timbuktu it just sounds funny when you say Timbuktu but it's true and from Mali and places like this some of the great molecule AMA issued for tower way before slavery was abolished in the Western world saying that slavery is Haram right because the human ethics had reached that stage so now you see because today the world would seem hopefully most the world would see this to be wrong imagine you time traveled and went back

to the past like imagine we went back 500 years and you saw a slave would you not see in the right of the slave to rise against his master and rebel and just run off wouldn't you see that as a right that he has I would say of course but yet many of those scholars would have written differently so you see my point is what I'm trying to say even with these things you can't use their because they just lived in a time where they were part of a system and they just because they don't know any different

they just went with it we Allah is not gonna hold us to account with what even a Hodja had to say he's give Allah has given us God has given us an intellect to use so we need our own reasoning right let's take some questions people let's take some rapid round questions can you shed light on what is considered Xena Xena well Xena is like when a guy in a ChaCha

Xena Xena means adornment kind of like not to beautify or adornment don't mind right our nose rings earrings considered Xena but what this person means here I take it coy yes Mia I think what he means is when Allah says in the Quran well I hope Deena Xena tahuna that they do not show the Xena except to their husbands does Allah is Allah referring to by Xena they like jewelry no he's not in general so

when imam malik was asked about things like women wearing earrings or when he was asked about women wearing anklets and stuff like this is this part of Xena like is this something that women ought to not weigh for example or women wearing henna and you know like which would be today the equivalent of like nail polish and nail polish or varnish and nails and all these kind of things so when imam malik was asked this that all women wearing necklaces and all this kind of stuff is this Xena that they ought to hide imam ali said no he said that's just common like that's standard like women wear that kind of stuff so

yeah so ok let's take some of the questions somebody may be body poisons water way you look into hadith I've no idea what you're saying somebody just said yeah Alima that as in question mark should we say yeah Alima that yeah Ali method means like is persian farsi and or do as well for like help okay so yeah i'll ii come and help us obviously not I mean Muslims generally we don't believe that anybody can really help us it's only God in that sense like people

spirits don't come and help you but then you know what it is like Muslims like we're so confused because we all have like double standards in everything so Muslims generally say like oh we believe if only God does things but then many Muslims like I suppose the Shia I would say yeah Ali mother that Ali may be the spirit of I li can come and help them or I don't know if they believe in whether the actual spirit comes or from the unseen helps them I don't know how but then whistling other Muslims will say oh but we'll call the Prophet and then sometimes they won't call the Prophet

they'll call on Saints abdelkader al-jilani is another famous saint a patron saint that many people will call on all the time you know many Muslims all of the other journey come and help us you know all this kind of weird isn't it because it's I think truly getting rid of superstition it's hard I think it really is and coming to terms with just one guard is difficult I think and I think Humanity is forever kind of struggled and even the monotheistic

faith faiths although they kind of shed and got rid of all the idols and the other gods and kind of went with one God but over time they ended up just kind of doing what other people were doing but they just kind of just gave it a new rendition like Christians did it with their patron saints and Saint Andrew for this and saying in all these different Saints for different things that would grant them so that's my understanding can you read and it will be accepted I don't know what that means can you read

Oh cranberries help us isn't that just Easter Arthur don't you see this is it justifications justifications this is where we go wrong where we lose reasoning look don't get me wrong if you want to do it do it it doesn't bother me but I'm just pointing out inconsistencies that's all I'm not gonna go mad at people like oh this is shirk and you're mushrik and stuff if people do over the hell they want it doesn't bother me but I'm just

highlighting inconsistencies like how can you on one hand want to shed superstition and then on the other hand endure superstition it doesn't make any sense princess chauhan said read my comment nothing more did oh ma Rodya lon take back the bracelets of kisra no he actually came in the narrations I already gave them to to Soraka Johanna said please well if you post your

comment I can read it for God's sake just going on read my comment lets no comment beyond that those with do women have to cover here and head I've highlighted this before that there is a especially in recent times is some difference of opinion generally most Muslims feel that this is a spectrum of views most Muslims believe that women must cover the must cover they here okay now some Muslims have felt that no

that's not necessary it's just modesty and amongst those of recent time people like Sheree Harley double father give Josh a llama Java dramedy and other people as well so right so you know the you've got certain people today the issue is really when you look at the evidence in the Quran and Sunnah there isn't actually anything in the Quran and Sunnah nada clearly states a woman has to cover her head simply you can infer

inferential data but nothing come like categorical therefore it led to this discussion but then there seems to have been a Muslim culture that appeared within maybe a century or two that definitely that definitely seems to say that women ought to cover the here and then Muslim culture seems to have just persisted in that manner along the way the voice of the Koran seems to say well women should the verse of the Quran seems to say that women

should cover their bosoms with the head cloth now the question here is is it asking them to wear a head cloth a head cloth those who say and most people have said yes why else did God say cover it with the head cloth because the verse is clearly not addressing here to start off with is talking about them covering their bosom because mainly women they would we like these low-cut mix and you could see a great amount of cleavage and

as you can imagine it would distract it would kind of the traffic would kind of like go off obviously they didn't have cars but the camels camels would be crashing right so you know you get all these accidents happening by these billboards how am I gonna explain this one right so this is the the camel would so they would have these kind of you know there was that mean by that baccala

was he named Buckelew papito whatever we said I crashed camel in bridge I know K but anyway the question was about covering the their kind of breasts and covering that so Allah said use the head cloth that he mark because they used to wear generally the Arab women would kind of tie the thing and they'll just let it hang and it would be long so why not pull it forward and you could cover the now the question is does that mandate that they were ahead for this would be the equivalent of Meese

like if I give you an analogy of saying let's say if we're walking through dangerous territory and I said right those of you that are wearing a watch like we're let's say we have fear of being robbed and I said okay those right anybody with a watch cover it with your sleeves I'm also mandating that everybody ought to wear sleeves or am I simply saying that we should if you cover it with your sleeves and if you don't have it then just hide your watch what am I saying now the nature of language is that it's ambiguous so this became the kind of

this is the discussion the central discussion so there isn't anything clear per se that in the Quran Dallas ain't cover you here or any categorical hadith that is clearly established so there are some hadi but they all have problems with the chains now however and there's some discussions you see in the early Muslim communities like in Imam Malik's time he seems to have some opinions that show that the hair is not as mandatory like he will say that a woman doesn't need to cover in front of her kind of servants and slaves he said she doesn't need to cover in front of her in-laws other scholars said she did but in my

Malik draw a distinction they don't put it as part of the cool or are they say it's the extended older stuff like this now it's so there's some discussion going on but then it seems to drop me you know it seems to have kind of being drowned out quite early on them and then Muslim culture seems to have stabilized as women do cover the hey and then that seems to have kind of persisted along the way and then recently it's been questioned again so that's why we're getting this all this kind of thing I would just say look all of this is part of the Islamic discourse that's what I'd

say I mean it's up to people what they kind of go with in the end there's no force regarding matters of the Deen like I have you mean one thing clear is that Islam emphasized modest as an ideal so I hope that's of some help what's more authentic Bihari Omata unquestionably the motto of Imam Malik is more authentic somebody is saying what is the deal with who P Oh what would I've answered that before point of making so many planets

and galaxies with such a large universe what's the point till oh I'll ask God huh what's the point should I stress it like that like what should I so right so that's the obviously I mean this is the way the universe has been created the whole the way the universe expands this is from the amazing creation of God I guess princess Chauhan that's three times I've

wrote a big essay now well princess you can post to the game if not you see that's somebody who's definitely living in there with the world revolves around you well I've got news for you princess the world does not revolve around you if you don't want to post it don't post it right so anyway let's take some rapid questions and we'll bring this to an end people that's a why do you drink with

your left hand ah get lost all right so reverse camera for God's sake she's asking if you praise valid if you drank the night before yes praise valid okay you you know being drunk obviously if you're drunk you wouldn't be praying at that time but your prey is valid the hadith about forty days and stuff like these things were simply just to discourage people from praying I was sorry from drinking used to kind of like a deterrent what's your opinion on dour guys in the UK I think it's it's a tragedy

I don't think generally we should be I've said this before any upset people I've said one thing somebody asked me what advice would you give to people doing giving though I'd say I said stop giving Dawa I honestly believe we shouldn't be giving though I like enough let's both oh yeah yeah how do caviar you know this is it now it's too much we've destroyed how much more do you want to destroy Islam charlie DJ let it be man Islam seriously doesn't need us what's

your advice McHale miss miss McHale I think the person wanted right McHale miss er which is like those kind of low commitment marriages by rote McHale miss mob let the nikah kneecap to a nail I've got the nail what do I do with it oh

it's it's just you and me till death do us part that's one way you could truly say that it looks like this marriage is gonna be the death of me married to the nail in other words he nailed it proper nailed it man so is it true that you're

a fake ship is it true but I love their integrity I'll just ask you is it true that you're a fake yeah yeah I'm fake don't worry buddy what did the Prophet mean with our dates yeah I mean this thing about algebra dates in my understanding the the Prophet what he meant by that if we can if we accept that hadith to be sorry this was simply the profit highlighting the kind of strength of some you know like if because the dates was aced it was a staple diet of the

Arabs and the prophets saying you know oh if you ate dates like it's so good not even magic could touch you you know it's like it's in that sense it's not like it wasn't the Prophet wasn't teaching like religion in by saying that he was saying emphasize like when the Prophet said in a hadith a home or a house which has dates in it its occupants or its family inhabitants are never hungry now that doesn't mean that that's not like a religious statement like oh if I put three dates in my house

now three pieces of day oh I'll never be hungry that's not what the Prophet meant he's just trying to say that whoa like if you've got dates at home like and you're still looking for food like that's just a statement like saying whoa like you know you're looking for food and you've got dates because by the way they dates were these kind of small small they had the huge massive kind of dates as well but so when he said like Oh way if anybody ate seven of these let alone other things magic poison couldn't even harm that person you know that's just it's hyperbole it's like a hyperbolic kind of exaggerated statement

just to kind of praise the food yeah like we could say oh if you had Bernie honey at home how could you be hungry spices at home if you had a nail at home how could you be single this gives a whole new meaning to screws screwed right so anyway opinion on Hutton's Hutton's are like just part of folklore religion and stuff like that did Imam

Hassan have 90 wives I mean I don't I don't know if you had 90 but the general understanding is that Sedna Hudson rodeo love unmarried on many occasions I think some people say I think they find that offensive so they've tried to say that these narrations are unreliable some of the narrations may be unreliable I don't I haven't extensively kind of like researched into that but you have to remember in that day and age marriage had a different social understanding and it wasn't like like when you say marriage you save relationships like today you might say well you've had relationships and people they have

different outlooks on life like to some people the Arabs generally back then didn't have this till death do us part concept and people had village some of the Companions like mojito I've been shot bad they say well some narrations say here at least a thousand wives during his lifetime and some say okay maybe even the modest narrations say you had 300 that's the kind of person that you after you say Malita every show but you see rather your loved one what a guy

inspiration no relax anybody getting so offended chilla relax man relax and if you can't get relaxed and look around your house for a nail [Laughter] like marrying one a month I think that's about Mata I know I don't know some would even dream of having a thousand I'm sure they would I'm sure they would dream of having a thousand but right okay people any final questions we can oh right I don't think I'll see if there's any

does the Quran say to give less to women from ancestral property no no what do you mean by that right the verse on what the right that's like gonna be so lengthy that right now we really just on wrap it round so we've got it three hundred one spot and

I'm just trying to see if there were any questions that quickly right okay I'll just try to see if there's any rapid round what does the Quran say about from Marga etaf what does the Quran say by forcing the children to wear a hijab I don't believe that you should force your children to wear hijab that's my understanding I believe that Islam you should bring children up with an understanding with a

value modesty okay dad and then you know people will be eager to do things people bikina you know this force force no this a hadith an amazing hadith of the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam where he said that that a forceful outlook it never accompanies anything accepted ruin Zee and risk like subtlety and kindness that never accompanies something or is never in something accepted adores it

so this is so that's really the way if hadith collection are problematic how can the practice of Medina be traced back to imam ali the practices of islam is already preserved the sunnah was already preserved through thick thick was less susceptible to corruption because people weren't interested in corrupting thing because it wasn't as authoritative as hadith so therefore faith but faith gives a huge diversity as well [Music]

right I had a question about Islamic ethics and marketing as a user is asking as a marketeer there are different ways to manipulate people to buy your products now manipulating using cognitive biases is it permissible that's a really interesting question I'm gonna be honest with you I think is really interesting I think we all do it it's just the way the world works but from an ethical perspective is it really ethical I it's probably not ethical is it but I think the world just works like that you know like if if people are gonna promote something they're gonna promote it in a way like are this oh

this is ah this is the thing and they're gonna and you're gonna manipulate stuff and I mean what by manipulation here I I don't understand deception deception would be categorically wrong but manipulation like where people might kind of use one-sided research or they might just stress something so people buy into it um you'll do it but you're right I I don't think it's ethical what is your opinion on surah allah can God curses on tree you know this is interesting because my understanding of surah - laughs you know - patita AB

Allah that you know may I would laugh the one of flame the one of the the one who is kind of doomed and and he and his spouse as well you know the one supporting him as well like they like what do they have to avail like these we just want to gather wealth and gold and and mercy and my understanding is that this verse wasn't specific this was not really to who we now call Abu Lahab the uncle of the Prophet I would have the uncle of the Prophet that was not his name he got given that name after this

so I think this is kind of reverse-engineered that this surah was just a general surah allah wasn't speaking about him per se although he equally at the time fit the bill so it it's basically if the shoe fits so because he was like a ripe character at the time that fit fitted that description Muslims started to call him Abu Lahab like they start to call Abu jahil but this is not this was not their name Abu jahil wasn't called abu jahal abullah wasn't called abu lahab now abu lahab met the one of flame or the one one could argue of gold because

gold has that kind of kind of shine to it and that kind of flame thing to it and this was about people who are so immersed in the world that they like the verses are exactly what they are and those who support them trying to adorn themselves and trying to prevent the message of the Quran this is who the surah condemned but that yes as a you see it was a template and yes it fit the bill with the specific uncle of the Prophet Abu Lahab who became known as Abu Lahab

later on so that's my understanding okay of that now did Imam Malik ever give a ruling contradicting the animal no not the animal of medina in general what is your response to saying that the Prophet was poisoned this is ridiculous that the Prophet was poisoned this is such a and I want to do a detailed response to this insha'Allah next week but the Prophet was poisoned and his companion died and he ate from this Jewish woman's house and but his poison lasted and I saw this X Muslim making some kind of a video that was so

it was so poorly made contradicting itself ridiculously oh the same poison you know kill that person instantaneously but research shows lead poisoning can take ten years to kill you that's why the Prophet took you know three more years to die four more years to die but oh but this person oh but he ate and died at the table oh but you know and the Prophet died humiliate you know he's saying all these kind of ridiculous things and then he said all these weird things and he said I'm gonna give the references but he never gave them is it okay to love you for the sake of

Allah more than my parents not sure what that question means Abdul Wahid Ali what kind of love is going on here are you trying to I mean ya see people ought to love the appearance but sometimes you could have issues but then you have like a rational love out of responsibility I suppose if some people had a very tough kind of relationship with the appearance they may struggle to find an emotional love I think that's a shame and it's a tragedy but it's you know we

can't deny that it's not reality in that case they should have a rational kind of love from a responsibility if that's possible in shuttle very long questions I'm just trying to it's combining Salah allowed when traveling for leisure purposes yes that's absolutely fine you can combine prayers right so okay talks about people right like all right guys I think we should wrap this up unless there's any last fiery questioned I can

take that other than that I am sharing snippets on YouTube if do subscribe to share do like and it's like I feel like one of those guys like you know I like it now ba ba ba you're like does the Ark of the Covenant exist today of the Covenant oh we're talking about the to do with Moses and the what do you think about I medida

almaty that was a great person but obviously it was in a different age and he and he you know everything has positives and negatives and I suppose he did a good thing as in he tackled the challenge of his age but then he also gave rise to a culture from which we are suffering now this whole kind of you know the zakat night kind of like this preaching Dawa culture kind of came kind of rose on the back of what he was doing as well but one could argue that he never did that personally him say himself but yeah but he was a great

person I much respectful Suleiman Ali Salaam I'll explain some of the miracles of Solomon ELISA Lam I have explained that they're not supernatural right so people think that they all supernatural they weren't necessarily supernatural they had natural things going on natural explanations like somebody had asked about who would who told was not a bird as many people have said but rather it was like if you read the actual verse of the Quran describing hood and on several

occasions it seems very clear that this is a particular person that sorry man Allah Islam is addressing was a person of a particular group some Morpher serene have said it was a group like his his version of what would be modern-day intelligentsia so his intelligence kind of and he was upset that they weren't because these intelligence had to be on point and he was upset with them because if it was a bird it doesn't make any sense like oh if the bird you know where's the bird and I'm gonna be upset with the bird and I'm gonna slaughter you and then the bird is coming and saying and then the birds reasoning and

the bird saying oh well I did this and I reasoned and you know Birds this who worked like that you see like what happens is we end up inadvertently making a mockery of the religion so if you really and all the verses actually when they speak of hood hood you know that when he says Fattah at they he couldn't find and they said he called this group by because they were like birds that they would be like Falcon I that they were the intelligence here that he had that he for them and he said that where is hood hood that you know if he said Sun under

as a doctor and terminal Cathy Guinea why can't they be in using the Peru for humans you know like like we will look were you truthful away from this or if you look at all of them he uses plurals that were always to do with humans animals take a different route all right guys I think we're gonna wrap that up any issues give me a shout Facebook message me and Sharla messenger both my pages you know I've got my public and my general page I share things from both
