um god you know what i need i need like an expert on this stuff to kind of just say well this is how you do it mufti and that would just be that would be awesome right do i get uh unlimited uh source background

um this i don't know it's not happening for me ah god damn anyway so let's just go with it i hope it's not too if it gets too much i can always uh mute it out but let's see people let's see so what is going on first and foremost let me begin as always by telling you all to spread the love spread the fitting and facade get it out there folks and where

where is the shahiri to begin with that's what i'm talking about people that's what i'm talking about allah [Music]

[Music] [Music] that is just so amazing

what is going on here why is my widget box and there it is now that's better all right so people people people what is going down what is preoccupying the precious thoughts of migente somebody had sent a super chat all right it's hark moller you're doing it you do and it it's hard jumps right in with the question see we haven't even i haven't even shared my own podcast but he's straight in the see this is the concern of the ummah

[Laughter] i like it i like it so you've got the question let me just share this to is let let people just please think well you know masha allah the conspira conspiracy theorists are going to say why is mufti not sharing his own [Laughter] he's not even sharing his own stuff i mean this is like why does he expect us to share

so a question straight away what do we think of jihad talab so this is the offensive jihad what do we think of it so let me just and folks now jihad you see it's such a shame that jihad has become such a um like all right multiple later shared your stream you're doing it you're doing it zombie

you're doing it that's the zombie supporting our cause people so all right look at that so people jihad what a question let's get right into it man now jihad is actually and a very positive term in allah much love to those of you sending the stars and the super chat dearly appreciated right so it's actually a positive term in islam but it seems to have been unfortunately hijacked

and that's especially in recent times you know it's being presented as something so negative something so um you know so something's so terrorizing um and it isn't actually like that that's not what um it's about gotta do something with that the the sound effects on it but ah wait a minute do you think it's

a lot a lot people did you think i wasn't gonna look at that i got it people all right i figured it out yes you know sometimes i impress myself [Laughter] i thought i figured it out it's still what this one are nice my friend after all of that is still

still it does it yes salaam i thought i i clocked it i was like ah yeah let's focus on the question now right so you've got jihad which is a really a military aspect to any civilization you know it's wrong to assume that in islam this in first of all it's wrong to assume that islam is a pacifistic faith it's not okay so islam is just like any civilization it

has a military aspect to it but if you examine the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam all of the battles in which he engaged right all of the battles on which he engaged were defensive they were not um they they were not where the prophet ever went out attacking people

right so that's a good point actually somebody said gave me some tips cha that's a good point could try that so you'll never find that the profit went out nope that didn't work right so you'll you'll never find that the prophet went out attacking um

unless i just uh you know what i could do what about this if i just yeah what about if i bring it down to the [Music] alright i think i did it yes salam i did it so if we look at the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam we will not find that he was

trying to conquer the world he wasn't trying to say well let's attack such and such i know here's a vulnerable thing let's attack them he wasn't he wasn't doing any of that that is pretty much a uh i mean that is very evident all of the battles of the prophet's life were either very clearly defensive jihad or in some cases like there was a preemptive strike in the sense that not a striker movement because the prophet saw that these uh you know from the

from the byzantines and from those lands these people were moving down from sham and what when when armies moved down what you know it's very clear what they're about to do [Laughter] so yeah i mean so from the prophet's life it is quite clear that jihad was a very it was it was a military aspect but it was all defensive in the prophet's lifetime i'm not saying uh

i'm not saying um that there was no um you know that it's impermissible to do offensive jihad but it was not from it was not what the prophet was doing he wasn't trying to conquer the world and that's very clear and islam is not about that so that's why the quran is very clear that look it addresses people as look there are civilizations there are muslims there are non-muslims it wasn't trying to say everybody's going to be a muslim on earth like some people today feel that everybody has to be a muslim

that never seems to have been the case with um with the seerah cool arrive reactionary you do and you do and it much love with the super chat so yeah um i mean that's something very clear is jihad followed from the omega i mean it's i would say it's there from the sahaba it's very clear i'm not stating this is un-islamic uh don't get me wrong with that i'm not saying this is a wrong like as in it's condemned in islam offensive jihad

but it's like the politics then of any state of any civilization of any empire at times people will see welfare in war and they will go to war but this that's what it is it's reduced to the um the kind of strategic insight of whoever is ruling it's not necessarily against islam but it's not what islam was neces about either islam was not about kind of conducting military warfare so yeah i hope that uh

shed some light cool people alright you're right let me just go through some of these questions people all right so mufti i want to ask you what is the most authentic seerah of the prophet salallahu it's an interesting question i mean it's difficult to say what is the most authentic um i think sometimes some of the theories that are written in english are very good i um i've had a few people

recommend actually on my mind traps um there was martin ling's is actually highly recommended there was another one a prophet um a believer i've forgotten the name of it it's actually a very simple title uh it's come recommended by several people and it seems to be a very balanced uh biography of the prophet's life and not too complicated either it slipped my mind what the title is but it's something that i've had a few people recommend on my show

called not see love uh seal off the nectar those you see the problem with those kind of um they just uh really i don't you know they base their thing on ibn is hack and ibn hisham and all these military aspect of the prophet and um i don't think they do a good job at all if i be honest

alright so what is going on people mufti what do you think of bro haji's bar bahari gate i haven't watched his bahari gate i i think uh i really like bro [ __ ] if that's first of all what i thought you said what do you think of rahaji i really like him um i'm not oh i'm not up to speed with the what his current thing is i have watched snippets i i like his humor he's uh he's definitely got a kind of um you know a um a charm to him so uh

the topics are usually to do with selfies and they used to once upon a time be about shia quite a bit and i wasn't too much into that the selfie thing is interesting because there's this whole thing of do you need to always follow the rulers or can you rebel against them is insurgency permissible and my understanding is that uh bro [ __ ] has shown that well actually insurgency is it's just a strategy i mean if a people felt that it was the time to revolt and a revolution was overdue they could do that and islam doesn't prevent that whereas the

selfies are obviously clearly against that so he's been um exposing them for their inaccuracies his recent one was on what's his name abu khadijah [Laughter] which if i can find that where did it go was it this one i am salafi i am i don't care what anyone says every one of you is not ah that's uh and i will i have asked bro [ __ ] to come on the mind trap i think it'd be awesome to get him on

i really gel well with him as a person i think i've met him now on at least a couple of occasions and on a personality basis i really like him and we get on so even though i'm sure he probably doesn't agree with my views and things but that's fine people don't need to agree with my [Music] darkest you're doing it you're doing it man is that you though salams you mentioned let's go to his super chat adam ahmed said past his bedtime more like

i'm not sure past whose bedtime alright you see i've done this this is really good now i've got it so i've got the facebook chat as well and it's right in front of me i can go up and down as well now on facebook chat which i couldn't do previously rather um all right people don't you're doing it azerati's dhaka says you mentioned in the previous video cardini that god does not change the nature nature laws and intervene is the quran or not an intervention right

um i've what i've said is that god may intervene but not in the way that you think so and i've given the example of the copenhagen interpretation in quantum physics so the way you have that that god that if it's being observed it disappears the world the quantum world collapses if being observed and i feel that in a similar way god does intervene but not upon observation

so yeah and these things are very difficult and tricky but that's the closest uh to understanding things i also feel quantum physics is the best way you know the closest we've got to understanding um fate and destiny seriously the quantum eraser is just amazing you know check it out on youtube people the quantum eraser experiment it is the the closest we have

all right so let me just bring that back up people peoples peoples peoples what is going on so right right right right yeah we haven't done poetry you know i've got an urdu poem for you guys oh before we go into this i i'd like to say those of you that are familiar with sheikh sajad he's from birmingham he's uh

involved with many projects actually throughout the country very well known very respectable uh very respect highly respected uh amongst the islamic circles he's also a runs his institute sacred texts and teaches and has been involved in many grassroot projects that he does not take the credit for on social on social media he's also a relative of mine um i don't know some of you may or may not know that but uh yeah we're related and in addition to being related his his

maternal granddad was actually very was like a best mate with my with my maternal granddad so it was very um there's that link and so yeah i'd like to those of you that know his grandfather now speaking about his paternal grandfather has passed away just recently within this week it's been just uh just a week now or under a week so may allah subhanahu ta'ala grant him an elevated mahakam in general [Music] family ease um and him he's he was very close to his grandfather and

had a you know almost like a father child relationship with him spent many years with him and grew up with him to a great extent so my condolences and those of you that do know him just so you're aware as well in case you've maybe have been trying to reach out to him and he's been preoccupied but cool i just thought i'd share that as well right now

oh this you know i've also got a review for you guys today a perfume review people [Laughter] we're gonna come to that later on i found some daddy poem a perfumes people some record breakers that's all right muhammad abdullah you're doing it you're doing it people what is life without poetry huh in the hadith

is wisdom that is from poetry this one's in urdu going out [Music] if somebody has to ask who who is this guy [Laughter] if he's saying that if somebody asks who they ask you who is this person to you then just say um that you know

nobody too special allah allah people feel the the the tragedy you know the tragedy ah

oh my god this is so it really hit a string with me what can i say man one the chord is struck a chord people that's that's what i'm talking about um i thought i'd share that with you guys um play some music instead of uh what's up [Music]

can you translate these poems into spanish i don't think my spanish is up to that scratch yet you know you know i have to say for the first time ever this in this week in one of my dreams i was dreaming in spanish part of it that means it's getting to that plateau people it's getting there it's getting the uh i don't i don't think and poems translating poems is but i'll translate it into english which will help you he says if somebody was to ask you who am i just say nobody too special

i'm a friend it's an on and off kind of friend i'm a lie that is half true i'm a dream that has been left incomplete i'm a flower that has or a rose or a flower that has been left half dry

a dream that has occurred without thinking of it or without trying to force it i'm somebody that is familiar yet unseen a relationship but one that is unknown a reality yet one which is a fantasy a bit insane a bit crazy at most perhaps just a pretext an excuse

yet a companion within life that if he is too far nothing is near and close if somebody was to ask you who am i just say nobody too special so people what is going on some latinas in mufti's dream there was some i was speaking in spanish in part of my dream i only realized later on it was such a crazy dream and i was thinking back and then i was like damn that was weird and then it just occurred to me wait a minute it's done this is i was like whoa that

was in spanish it's coming along so people what's going down do gins drink gin that is the question do they drink gin [Laughter] shaken oh no that's a martini so people what's going down what's going down what is let's see people what are some of the questions those of you that haven't caught up by the way with my latest this is not the latest there's been another mine trap after this as well this

is an amazing mind trap with dr mahdi sajid do check it out professor i was telling professor that you know he's got that the vibes from the professor from uh money heist going on do check it out an amazing discussion really covered some fascinating things people cool so let me just all right so you know sometimes we get a lot of people being obsessed with uh religious signs like they'll say i'll cut a tomato and oh my god i found the name of god

written in it so on that note you had this was in an omelette and it's apparently legit that it's got the face of hitler in it oh my god so people this is why you can't be going around trying to prove god's existence by cutting a melon or i don't know you know crushing a banana these kind of things are not how to prove

the existence of god so what is going down people had imrizvi you're doing it you're doing it somebody nurudeen has asked has asked what are your views on the birds the abba bill in suratul feel and i have explained that in much detail previously that i feel that's true the birds did may have pelted but not

it's not quite in the way that people think so the elephants did not reach mecca that they were at if and then they decide to leave tariff and head towards makkah because they don't even know where makkah is makkah isn't a popular town by the way uh people thought later on that maybe makkah used to be really popular it was the life of hijaz and arabia it wasn't it was almost borderline unknown it was like a tiny town and

it wasn't popular at all but maybe some of the stories about some of the people may have been popular but people don't know where it was hence abraham when he comes and he he goes to tatif he then hears about mecca and you know they have this kaaba and he says what on earth is this and you know what let's this temple let's knock it down now he doesn't reach makkah um just maybe not so far from tatif is where his his elephants fall ill and the reason this happens is because

you see when he kind of sets up an encampment outside of that if with all his elephants he upsets the local habitat obviously you can imagine bringing so many elephants and horses and things like this and setting it up it destroys it doesn't destroy but it completely deeply unsettles the natural habitat and there were certain birds that um i in the video i go into much detail on what they were specifically that do were known to be local to that to if and and the arabian peninsula which were the ababil now the elephants

do rattle they their kind of settlement so they what these birds do is they they are generally known to carry small pelts back to their nests so they start to drop these but what it is is these things are infested with um it's judori smallpox which then triggers a kind of a mini outbreak amongst these elephants and his army

who catch this chadris or even when you read historically certain muslim sources had highlighted that there was an outbreak of judari around that time of smallpox and they write that it came via the birds so even historians had written that it seems to be that the birds are the ones that brought this kind of uh outbreak of smallpox at the time in that region so this is true and with smallpox they are left so what happens is even though he's then getting his armies ready we're

gonna go to makkah we're gonna do this they don't actually manage to go there because what happens is this outbreak triggers with all these bursts that they get all these kind of boils and things like this and although the army does try to move but then it's in too bad of a state that it's just kind of lefty and they head back he just about narrowly escapes with his own life um so this and hence the verse of the quran about them being you know

foreign it's like as though they were left as though they were eaten corn that you see the boils and the way the bodies were kind of just left there this was not because they got kind of like pelted and turned into that but that triggered the infestation the the outbreak and then they died and they were left like that in the plane and hence there was uh several bones that were found as well outside of thaive in a certain which is claimed to be like an army and certain i think elephant bones and things like

that were found as well but they didn't reach mecca and the story of um the popular story that he goes to makkah and discusses with the grandfather of the prophet i think that was um that in its entirety is not true then or either it may have been that the news reached uh the grandfather of the prophet and he said that statement of you know little baits and then people later dramatized it um so it may have been like that

all right what is going on people you're doing it with the super chats people you're doing it you're doing it yeah ah where's my oh well i i'm pretty sure i had a with my book just in case there was any notes you know what people let me just grab my uh one momento and memento i've put it here somewhere

all right so what i'll do let me just put the poem back up and whilst i do that i'll that will allow me to just go grab [Music] you can never really get tired of john ilia he is an epic legend by the way i've been reading through this book

um i'll do a review of it soon once i complete it it's on abu lual it is incredibly fascinating and he says in the in the sunni and shia imagination who is usi and i've only got halfway through it yet but i will finish it and hopefully i'll do a review next week it isn't i love these kind of books you know where somebody's just done all this

research and they just present it to you and it's like a niche kind of strange topic i love stuff like that let me tell you a tip actually you know i most of my books not most i suppose many of these books are reference books so i kind of know what i'm looking for and i order them but you know most of my very enjoyable reading the ones that i've benefited from all this research and uh interesting things the way i choose them is i don't go in with a mindset of oh i'm gonna buy this book i don't even know half the time more

than half the time that that book exists i just go into those bookstores or if it's online i will go to the list and i'll just kind of i'll i prefer it if it's in person but you know that's when i'm abroad i go into these bookstores and i will just spend so long there people are probably fed up of me that what's this punk they're like what's that punk with a bloody a necklace like that oh speaking of necklaces we're going to have a video clip in the masala segment of a mufti mufti wasim speaking about

chains but yeah so i just kind of just you know meander throughout the the bookshop i will just go i'll pick things up they'll be i'll just be like oh what's this about you know oh the forgotten kingdom oh the archaeology and history of northern israel okay that's interesting what's that about and unlike that i end up buying books i buy books by kind of like i want interesting weird kind of like i find these things really fascinating that kind of really um tantalize my curiosity

so something like this this is a perfect example of i'll be like wow like i read that in the shia and sunny imagination what the hell is that about and then i'll go like with that i bought a bunch of books this is another one i've got to go through um quran sex in the quran the concept of sex within the quran by ibrahim and he's kind of going through the whole thing of how is um

what how is the concept of sex um within conceptualized within the quran is there a sense of eroticism that is there within the quran is it does it appear does it not obviously this is his um theory i've got to go through that yet but you see like that i will be like whoa what a topic let me pick that up and this is how i um this is how i kind of do book shopping so if people and i don't mean obviously you might just there'll be books like these that you can see behind me these you'll probably

know about anyway if you're into it so those kind of things i'll obviously order because i know exactly what they are but most of the other books that i really enjoy though they're these kind of smaller books that somebody's just done so much weird research on and he's published yeah cool people you're doing it you're doing it claire jones you're doing it supported says it's hark muller has asked a question you're doing it with the super chat your take on women's testimony only half of a man's that's not true i've got a detailed video on that it's on youtube women's

testimony in islam i do check it out um i'll try and share it again on social media this week now the verse of the quran it does not mean what people think um you see what it is is first of all where allah mentions that um he's speaking about oh when you're traveling and you're setting kind of like agreements and so on that you know that have testimony like you know write it down and and this is being mentioned in one of the longest

verses in the quran known as and write it down and do this and do that but then it mentions that oh if you can't find then you know two women that if one of them was to go astray the other would bring her back on track um but people because the other verse i mean the verse is antardilla that one of them is to go astray tadil from dalala it mentions that oh fatu

the other one will remind her now here what they people assumed is because it mentions to remind the first one must mean to forget so people say well oh because women's memory and intellect is far less than men that's not true and the quran never said but they made an assumption but not everybody went with that i mean sofiani he disagreed with it and other people and i mentioned in the clip that some of the self disagree

and what was the true meaning of this the meaning was to do with intimidation and it was far easier to intimidate a woman than it was a man and since this was to do with money and debt and it's a big thing in that society you know people they you know they don't you know from they would kill you over money and it was so much easier to just threaten a woman to say especially in those societies you know to just say well you know you better

watch yourself if you so whereas the man may have had a whole tribe with him now the woman did have her husband's tribe for example or her tribe but sometimes you know it just was easier to intimidate women that they may have felt look it's not worth it and i'll just you know just kind of go with that story of his as a witness so hence there were two witnesses two women and and this is why in the conditions as well you know many of the scholars had written that they weren't

allowed to separate the the two women witnesses and they weren't allowed to do so on but that's what it was about and that would apply still today in where that is relevant in the world it's not to do with gender in the sense that the woman is incapable but if and i would say arguably it would apply with men as well if there's a certain part of the world where testimony is you know where there's a certain let's say there's a certain people a class of people that are easily intimidated or easily subjected to intimidation

then you would double up that would just be the basic so let's just say there's a particular union or a particular trade or a particular people which were easily intimidated due to their circle like somebody could say let's say students in this day and age in particular it doesn't have to be students ain't necessarily easily intimidated but i'm just giving an example there could be a particular genre of people so that would apply and if if women are still in some parts of the world easily intimidated unfortunately then it would apply but it was nothing to do with the inherent quality

of the of of of the intellect of women that's ridiculous i do personally believe that from a biological perspective that men's brains and women's brains are as are the biology of men and women is different but it does not reflect the level of intellect for example it doesn't mean that men are necessarily cleverer or more intelligent that's not true both are they have that it's you know it's it's an equal platform both can be um you know as

intelligent as each other it is true that men and women are sometimes drawn to different kind of fields like the stem sciences and things like this stem field sorry that you see men more drawn towards things like that towards mathematics towards heart kind of things and i feel that just may reflect the kind of interest and the way the brains are that they are drawn towards certain things but it doesn't speak of capacity so it doesn't mean that men are generally mathematicians they're not i mean

you know not to be raw but by and large most peop most men you know you may come across many men they're just dumb i don't mean to be kind of uh putting men down but i'm just saying it does not mean that just because men may be drawn more to mathematics than women that men by and large are mathematicians that's not the case so yeah and you know on that note i would like to say amil you're doing it you're doing it with the super chat i'd like to say that look

um i've been asked this question um i was asked this recently by some um by a girl european who had an interest in islam but she was not really kind of this is my impression from what she said that this was obviously a message so she that she was driven away kind of disenchanted by religion based on the institutionalized kind of version of religion seeing it as very um patriarchal and misogynistic and so on

uh and she was really impressed with some thinkers so recently there's a european thinker uh us now he shared a clip of mine or some clips of mine and praised them and this led to a kind of surge of european his following kind of following me so within a couple of days like within a week i had like many people i mean i'm not saying like thousands and thousands but i had many people following me suddenly that were all kind of like german or you know from the netherlands and from and it was just strange because i

started thinking whoa like i'm getting you know every day so many in in in the you know i'm like in the tens and tens like suddenly on instagram all these people who are all german following me and i'm thinking well that's really strange i mean have i suddenly said something in german so then i realized oh well this you know ali hondur had shared something of mine and so yeah so from on the back of that several of these people and and this lady as well so she was asking me look are there any women scholars why ain't they women scholars

not are there any why ain't there any women scholars and i thought you know this is a um really interesting uh question and i don't you know hmm what are my thoughts on this now there are some women scholars like just regular run-of-the-mill kind of ustadas and sheikhas and uh so they might do some tafsir and some dars on the seerah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam or that kind of stuff but and maybe thicker gatherings and stuff like that but

generally you know like this kind of thinking out of the box and that kind of stuff you don't get the shaykh kind of phenomenon like that you will get some muslim arab thinking you know especially arabs uh some arab female academics so like doktora these the cathedral that are kind of thinking out of the box and they're very passionate and um but they're not really imams in that sense within the dean so they're more on the academic front in fact recently um there was a video shared to me about a i think she's a tunisian

a doctor with some really amazing um you know just a twist on certain things and i thought wow i gotta watch her video and i was like wow you know anything that's like weird and i i don't know why i find it fascinating even if i'm not going to accept it but i want to see what what is the thinking behind this and i get really intrigued even if i don't agree but i become really fascinated by the way people think so yeah but my point is that these are not within the religious circles so they're not like people that will lead praise and do thicker and that kind of

you know the islamic islamic circles so why is this now one may be that people say well there's a lack of opportunity and i think okay that may play some of a role but really there is a reasonable amount of opportunity out there for women to uh to kind of go and study and do things the other thing is people may say well the lack of opportunity okay but there's a lack of freedom that these women have to go now that may have some reality i agree with that

to some extent that look a lack of like let's say their parents don't agree for them to just go off and travel and that's true although to be fair there are still many women that have done that many muslim women that have gone and traveled and um so as an example when i went in the 90s late 90s to study i went to damascus and i spent like i think a year year and a half or something in the first time i was in damascus and then i

i had like three visits back i spent i came back again and then came back again but in that first stay of mine in damascus when i was in damascus university there was there were certain women muslim girls that were had come from the west now there was one girl who i don't you know i don't know where she was from i think she was american if i recall correctly she couldn't have been british and she was definitely english speaking so i'm pretty sure american and i i think her name may have been something like

saima or i don't know maybe i've got that wrong maybe it's salma or maybe it was but she was a full necabi like nekabia but she was really talented i've got to say her arabic was on point and she was like when we did uh exams in the class she came um she would take top position like she was like um and the class had like probably about 25 students in it and they all were all like mature uh people so and people from all over like america

europe you know you name it different parts india pakistan um uk africa there was it was like a whole mishmash and and this girl was really good actually so i remember thinking wow like she would get all the things right she would get all these on some of the grammar she was just on that she was outperformed by oh upon

yours truly people that too unprepared i would go in unprepared and i'll just top the exams so that's style you know that's how i did things and do things in life but but other than that for hard work because she was obviously hard-working so i have to say i would love to be able to connect with these people again in that day and age there was no social media but if anybody does know these people or if anybody knows people that were studying in damascus during the years 98 and 99

um you know like those years do let me know because there were a bunch of guys as well that were studying there so there were many guys from london and we were in mahadal uh amania together but i would love to connect with them now but i don't even i don't even remember their names i think it's such a shame i think there was an maybe an ismail an abu bakr i'm maybe i'm maybe i'm reinventing these names i don't know but if you guys do know any of the people do put me in touch with them because i would definitely love to reconnect there were

a bunch of guys from london anyway so yeah but coming back to the topic i think that it's not necessarily that second point i do think that there isn't that generally this topic of academic religious study is a bit dry and most people find it boring and i think women more so are not driven towards it just as they're not driven towards the stem sciences given an equal the kind of stem fields um

in a similar way the academic abstract side of things like fair and solute and all this kind of stuff men ain't either but by like if you were to compare like imagine i had a gathering of 200 people in front of me students to be or people interested uh 100 women a hundred men and i was to talk about you know the methods and they disagree in the usual of their malikia and they've got this principle and this principle then clashes with that principle of the shaffer yeah and they've got this debate

i guarantee you that out of those that would become interested in what i've got to say like who would go away and actively research this it would be heavily outnumbered against women like the women i i don't think they would be drawn to that honestly i've seldom there have been a handful of women i've ever come across who have been incredibly passionate about stuff like this and i've been amazed that they've been so passionate about it because i just don't expect it and they've like kind of go out of their way like they're constantly obsessed like because i mean most men ain't

either but if you were to put it on an equal part you'd find far less women drawn towards that because i think it's too dry for them whereas if i was to be speaking on spirituality for example or doing zika or doing things like this and i think that the people who would go away and follow that up with an interest would be more women than men i mean there would be probably many men as well but i think it would be slightly outnumbered by women that's my own experience of the of the general muslim uh mind and the muslim crowds so

i do think there is an inherent thing in the islamic sciences that doesn't draw um that many women are not necessarily drawn towards an academic pursuit of it like to them the deen isn't like they don't see the like i mean they do see it has an academy but i don't think they find it as enjoyable to invest their time in like they don't mind learning men don't as well but i'm just saying so that was my response to this topic i don't know if it's controversial but i wonder how the women feel about that i mean those women that watch this if they let me know your feedback and this doesn't mean you're not

interested in islam they're definitely interested in islam definitely interested in learning about the prophet about the quran about the sunnah but i mean the kind of dry aspect of things like ferc and the debates and the you know the usual and the the kind of the all this this tiny tiny specks of detail data i don't think it uh interests them i could be wrong on this but yeah so that's my thoughts cool alright people mufti didi said mufti question mark you doing it didi

[Laughter] what's this dd thing going on this uh the jar with a small d or we can say mini no problem but there is one dajjal with the big d okay so what's this dd right mufti thought thoughts on thoughts on words [Laughter]

what is going down new smithsonian for the super chat you're doing it why doesn't god give more revelation why reveal for thousands of years and then stop but i don't think god was revealing uh for thousands of years uh in that sense it's just revelation that comes and then it stops you see it wasn't it's like a it's what we call uh i would i would borrow the term from evolution punctuated equilibrium

[Laughter] you think mufti does not know the technical terminologies ah the english the english i come with the english so punctuated equilibrium it's not a balanced kind of equilibrium of revelation that it happens every in fact it's punctuated it's a sudden at a certain point

so what is going down people what is going down fareed kayani says mufti do mom do animals have a place in the afterlife and could you ask for them in jannah does islam mention anything about them i would feel that look all life would continue um does animal life continue why not i mean it could i feel it could but does it have to i don't feel it has to but it could i don't think there's anything against

some people feel that yeah animals do continue because in the famous hadith that animals are resurrected and brought they they receive justice although the ashari view of that is that's just a metaphor for trying to say justice will be to the nth degree yeah so but i feel that that's permissible it's not that it can't be

uh ris shabir you do and it is you doing is saying just busy multitasking got a lot on all right you're doing it you're doing it uh shadman shah says i guess that must be a name i take it uh video about muta when the mufti talks about this try youtubing it best of luck brother yep i do uh have a video shukran for that lena that's uh awesome [Music]

right so um right now yeah i do have an old video on muta i mean i have a video uh i have quite a few i'm sure i have a couple where i'm speaking about muta i don't believe it's haram yes so it's up to people it's it's definitely not going to be liked in the muslim culture 100 not going to be it's only going to be like to be practiced [Laughter] it's not going to be like to be accepted you know it's those things but you know people have this view where they'll be like you know oh well if you

like this then would you like it oh would you like it with your own sister than any and with your own mother than any how would you like it with your daughter than any sorry i gotta where's my with my tissues you see this is just dumb and [ __ ] because the truth is look in society there's many things we all like but we don't like to be doing those things in front of like other family members and things like you know like we as human beings can

differentiate you know it's just just think about it on a rational basis that's like saying well you know even the concept of intimacy and what goes on during intimacy uh it's not that people don't like to be thinking of the appearance like that i mean that's like disgusting and sick they wouldn't like to be thinking of their sisters or brothers like that or the you know the sons and daughters like that that's not how they you see the human mind doesn't like to think like that but sure just as the way they

the things they get up to so will the other people be getting up to that as well but they just don't want to think about that because and that's normal that's natural you know there's a reason why you don't think of it like that and but it doesn't mean that oh my god then that you know that this is the oh then if this is permissible then they should be you know it's like what the hell is wrong with sick people and i feel that that's just a um a very dumb argument

all right so oh there was a capil [Music] would you consider going on david wood's stream he's having a muhammad week inviting people to defend the prophet muhammed on live stream okay i didn't know about that that's interesting i'll look into it i'll look into it you see the only thing is i sure okay i'll look at i have no problem uh presenting my understanding of of islam the problem is that people don't really want that understanding because i don't know what we would you see people want a very hard line

view because it's easy to then kind of go go kind of like toe to toe and head to head with something that is very um it's the it's it's it's an easy target see my kind of view of islam and how i would describe the prophet and things it doesn't necessarily clash with what they so people but i have no objection i will look into it inshallah if it's possible then yeah bro [ __ ] and mufti not in

life is poetry i won't ask your age lol my age i'm in old age now or according to some where life begins once again i'm 41. you're doing it people you're doing it that's it life is a box of frogs you teasing me arrived no i did that didn't i could you translate into spanish i did that uh where i said i don't think my spanish would be the yep i've done these why have i gone back in these super chats seem to be going

backwards methods for learning spanish uh right okay i've been slacking a bit with my academic learning of spanish but what i seem to be doing is i've i mean i've got books and stuff so as an example this is a book in spanish ano nuevo vida nueva so this is just um at a b1 level so he's just speaking about this guy but this is a really good author by the way juan fernandez and he he he just goes through the story there's certain

summaries keywords questions and and he's got the um his whole thing is if it's it's all in spanish but it's designed in a way that you can understand it and i've got a couple of his books so like that i do have um certain things i'm working i've been through obviously i've already been through the very basics and done them and then i went through apps i used duolingo was a really good one then i used i went through certain books and this was a while back now and then i started just going through my spanish was intermediate so this was

enough like but recently what i've been doing really is just watching loads of spanish tv i watch like spanish uh series i love spanish series or spanish movies um so i i watched them um and i just kind of like that's where you know i was saying the dreaming thing because you know when you watch it so much and you're like ah and sometimes what i'll be like whoa what do they say then i'll change the subtitles to spanish as well and i'll kind of see what all right that's how they say that ah all right so stuff like that and i follow a lot of

spanish um things on instagram so you know where they [ __ ] where they'll share memes jokes and i learn like that and i follow a lot of that kind of stuff so i'll kind of uh i'll try and if i don't understand the joke the meme i'll kind of google it what did this mean and because sometimes they use slang and i'll get used to that and so that's how i've been um i'm just doing it recently but i should kind of get back more into the the proper academic academic way but that's this is a fun way of learning you know you just watch a bunch of i even managed to i subscribe to one of the

the kind of latin um things you see the latin kind of netflix version uh like their own and then you can't get it here in the uk because they don't really accommodate for the uk but aha vpn so i hack i hacked the system you know but yeah people somebody said handsome haunted my super chat mufti argentios super chat man i know see it man let me go back up and see oh there it is handsome hound you're doing it when we do it

[Laughter] when we do zina when we do it's zina when what when we do it when we do it zina when religious scholars do its nikah urfi why this kolaveri why this double standard are we a plating in the hands of mullah what's orphenik what's nikai orfi yeah inaya says don't forget my super chat angry face

if our souls leave the body at death then who why why do we donate organs change the personality of the person into the dead person right okay uh first of all this one right the soul for me is consciousness and consciousness is actually i think out there and we are kind of tapping into it so we are kind of like a we are a receiving device that receives the signal so yes the signal does impact what we can get and but also the device

how what its capabilities will also impact the signal as in how much it can how capable it is so there is a kind of like an interplay between the two i don't think that the yeah so if that if that makes sense so giving away an organ um does that mean that the person who gets the new organ could inherit some memories is this what the question is there has been a fascinating bbc program actually that showed that there were certain people that happened to suddenly find spontaneous memories

which they had no recollection it was not part of them so you know like an interest in all of a sudden a sudden interest in skydiving and you think well what the hell is wrong with and then you find out what skiing and you find out well actually the organ that you just had belonged to somebody was a famous skier or he loved skiing all his life or she did and things like this they i i would definitely say that is profound um it definitely weighs in that could it be that you can because of that organ being so familiar with a you know that that consciousness that you also could tap into that

i feel that that's possible scientifically it's very difficult to currently explain how that organ like that liver transplant heart transplant how did it bring about a change in personality um it's difficult currently to explain that from a uh psychological perspective or from a scientific perspective cool i hope that helps

just basically a uh private nikka non registered non it's just a look how about we just do anika and i agree that i don't think the zina in the quran that is being condemned is necessarily the um you see it's not just the kind of boyfriend girlfriend sex i don't think so i think because it's not sex because if you think about it like think about this right sex is exactly the same whether

it's in nicaragua or outside of nicaragua the action is the same is it not so if the sex per se is such a fashion such an obscene of obscene atrocity let's say in kana you know it's so such an atrocity what is it is it the sex because the sex they're clearly having you know within nika and it's the same sex is it not so

it can't be the act and and they're having it with at that time with the concubines so it can't be the act itself because the act is identical you know it's not like like so you can imagine they said look don't um oh don't eat this meat and eat that meat why well okay that is slaughtered and this isn't slaughtered okay fair enough you know there's there's that okay does the blood for example draining the blood it creates a different kind of qualitative uh result with the meat as opposed to just

kind of hitting the animal on the head and and the way the blood okay fair enough but the actual intimacy in and out of a relationship out of a nica is the same intimacy it's the same two people being intimate so what is it that is being condemned so i feel that what was being condemned was actually quite different i'm not trying to say that islam was condoning this either it wasn't saying hey people go out there and have intim be intimate and have sex but it wasn't that wasn't the harsh condemnation

targeted towards just the intimacy that would be absurd in my understanding because it's because then it would equally apply everywhere else what that was targeting was the the exploitation you see because what people were doing in many cases when it came to zina they were doing it on false promises and exploiting certain um often in those societies girls so what they would do is they would give them this kind of oh look listen because

because generally it wasn't that you know in many cultures even here in these liberal societies it's not that it's you know people say well oh in these societies everybody's liberal but it's not like hey a guy will just go to a girl ah let's have sex all right cool let's have it women even in very liberal societies are still reluctant to be just intimate with just guys just like that it's not like you know to them it is still something generally for the most part um you know it's something still that has to be very meaningful for them uh i mean that you'll get certain cases where they do just

will have casual sex and uh no strings attached kind of sex or just one night stands but for the most part even in these very societies if you speak to people non-muslims speaking to women like how much if they to count how much sex they've had like how many people have they slept with it's not going to be as high as you'd think you know the the body count isn't actually that high and as opposed to men because for them you know for men it's a it's a kind of like you know it's a victory thing in it

real men so this so my point is that you see in those societies what they would do is obviously they're trying to get it on with the girl now the girl generally isn't having it that easily so people sometimes will just lure her in through false promises oh look listen don't worry we're gonna do this we're gonna oh i'll set this up out and in his mind he knows that's a lie but you see she buys into it and then as he becomes intimate with her

has sex with and many of these girls in those societies would have been virgins so as he does that he then disappears or he you know confronts her breaks her trust this this vision will this these dreams are shattered thereby crippling her trust in any future relationship and you see this is very deep it's at a much deeper level it's not just about intimacy it's not just about the act you see this woman then goes on to

like really like deeply distrust any future relationship and should that god forbid happen again to her she will probably lose all trust and this if done so often would could destabilize a society that is not that large so this is what i think the quran was condemning when it was saying zina it was obviously sex was involved it was one of the ingredients in that act just as in riba in lone chakri exploitation obviously money was involved it was one

of the ingredients in that act but so intimacy was there but it was actually the exploitation the overarching uh exploitation that was really you know that was casting a shadow on this whole act that was making it such an abomination that allah condemns it to that degree that's in my understanding what it was talking about that's not to say it was saying well just casual sex was you know okay it wasn't but i feel that's not what it was addressing here it was addressing this the other thing

is in this day and age where people have exclusive relationships that are known to the world like people on social media will say oh in a relationship with such and such and you could tag on their profile and they're saying well i'm in a relationship with such and such this in many ways i wouldn't see much different to a nicara if people are openly expressing that we are in a relationship together to the world i think it's very difficult to argue that that how that's different from a nikah from a shadow perspective

it's not a institutionalized relationship i accept that it's not like a formalized like a marriage the way we have um registering a marriage it's not like that because that then kind of further adds layers of responsibility but this would have some level of this would amount to if people openly uh and expressed to the world they were in relationship with somebody else that would amount to a nikah orfi which is a non-form an informal islamic relationship so it's a

non-registered so it's you know they're not technically legally or even if it's not legally or formally married in that sense within society that marriage isn't there but they have a nicara so their relationship is halal um this would at the very least amount to a nicaragua in my understanding if they were in an a very open as in people knew about it they and like in many relationships people know that such and such they are together and they're exclusive yeah cool so i hope that uh makes some sense

cool right people's peoples look at all these questions on on uh sex [Laughter] all right so what is going on peoples peoples peoples what let's say let's take some questions uh and then we'll take a look at i'll do that review actually

alright alright i see you have streamlabs consider moving over to twitch and streaming there you can do a lot of things with chat like slowly and autumn where's the optimize reducing spam etc much better functions okay i'm not sure about twitch hmm you see it's just because i'm not a gamer even streamlabs is really took me so long to really learn this and i don't know i could experiment with twitch but i don't know how much the chat is fine really i can on youtube chat is fine i can zoom back and today

i've even figured out how to figure out the facebook chat so i've got that here as well i can zoom back i mean sorry scroll back through it so it seems fine for now right so people hi from australia if i had you doing it you doing it right somebody said what are your thoughts

what a name ah rhyming right what are your thoughts on making genetically modified pigs to farm human organs that are grown in them what about cloning brainless unconscious humans to farm organs from them yeah i think um you know what i i think that's fine you know people are going to be like mufti you've got um a tyrant but no you know like seriously i um i feel that first of all

uh pigs with human organs um farming them to kind of have human organs i think is an amazing idea um and as far as what about having did it say humans about cloning brainless unconscious humans i would even be down for that but people are gonna flip i don't think i should lead a country should i because i would think look i get the fact they're gonna say well if they're unconscious they're not

conscious in that sense and we can verify that then i would see no problem in that personally because i think it's for the greater good you see because you know it's all fine now you say oh but you know but that pig is gonna but that conscious unconscious uh human is gonna be like but i wouldn't really think of it as human then i would just think of it as a kind of just something manufactured um because it's all fine thinking like that until somebody of your own goes through something or somebody that you see it and then you'd think

well bloody hell imagine now being able to have a pair of fresh lungs a pair of or a liver or a pair of kidneys or a heart or a imagine being able to have it on tap what a world that would be and to be honest i think we could move towards we would move towards a point where we wouldn't even need the human we could just farm and harvest the organs within machinery i think that would be much more amazing because it would bypass this debate then yeah but i

definitely feel we ought to i'm all up for this you know this kind of like amazing you know like should we create robots that are like i'm like ah yeah let's do it man you know this debate on should we uh recreate a neanderthal we've got the genome to do it i think yeah let's do it and let's it'd be interesting let's learn from them like what but yeah i i i don't think that come on if we create genetically modified uh like a neanderthal they're not gonna take over the world there's only gonna be a few of them come on relax people but i would be really intrigued to see

how they then grow up and how do they do they learn language do they not learn language do they i think it'd be really fascinating but yeah but people would think obviously please invite harmony saab on your mind trap yeah definitely i i will i have to invite him gaurav you're doing it with the super chat is that you though it's hark what is the d why is the deal of a woman half of a man i've answered that as well by the way so

do check my response on that i have a a whole video uh dedicated to that i go through all the reports and i show that that's nonsense i do not accept that and imam malik see it's interesting the hadith he brings because this absolutely clashes with the quran absolutely clashes with contradicts the teaching of the quran that you are this is what the the known this is what you are and the sa and the sunnah that the takafa that their blood is equal and why would that not included

why would that not include the women amongst them and people say oh but it might not but that same hadith look at the hadith that yes yes that they are united and even the least of the muslims like those in the whatever even a child or whatever the least of the muslims can can strike a kind of deal for the muslims like they can make something that is binding and why was this said because that uh meaning that anyone and

the reason the prophet is saying even at the name even the lowest not because the person has to be the lowest but trying to say that there is no hierarchical system in this even if it were to be the law because the prophet's daughter had offered uh abulas when he came he she gave him sanctuary and the the muslims said they objected that he's a non-muslim how can she give him he came to visit her in madina and he spent time with her and this is really fascinating because then later he embraces islam but look how the prophet didn't kind of say oh my god you're not a muslim why

are you seeing my daughter and why are you doing there was none of this she was just an adult she didn't come to the province say oh you know my husband my you know who by the way abandoned me and was in uh makkah was with the kuffar against us has now many years later turned up and he's in my house by the way alone with me is that okay she didn't she just like an adult dealt with it and the prophet never interfered he never said anything and in fact when people came and when people found out that oh my god he's here in medina he's a careful she said i've given him my word for

sanctuary and the prophet when asked upheld that said that we almo the blood is one of one value and even the like well yes if any of them gave their word is binding like if they gave sanctuary thimma is more to do with sanctuary their word for sanctuary that this and this was this you know this is the seerah of the prophet and you know how people today they're so

controlling but just think about that he's a man cafe he's come to see his his wife he believes you know okay are they even still husband and wife and then he does embrace but they do they have to do a new nikkah no weren't they together seeing each other in between at that time when he comes to medina of course where was he staying in her house this and the prophet and this wasn't a kind of oh my god oh my god you know kind of thing and i think these are the things that we should be learning from the character of the

prophet sallallahu island from that you treat that people are adults they are empowered they live their own lives you know women if the prophet's daughter is saying this she's meeting with her ex-husband she's me too you know it's not it's not my business it's not for me to be dictating or telling her don't go with him or why is he meeting you why is he in your house on where is the maharam the mahram you know today's haram police would be the way is the mahram imagine the haram police today the daughter of the prophet they they would be there like where's the mahram this is a carfield this is this they

cannot be the third person is the shape on you know all this kind of stuff no none of this stuff see and this is the beauty of the character of the prophet islam but people don't this side they kind of cast aside and they ignore it and then they just emphasize battles and this and that and you know and this is where i was saying earlier on today about why the seerah has unfortunately been hijacked but yeah so cool i hope that makes some sense people

so reaper check my superchat i don't see your super chat all right let me check i can't see it so soul reaper send it again i'll take a look at it i'm not saying you have to send it as a super chat but you can just all right so yeah i you know it's amazing these things i wish somebody could gather these lessons from the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi and present them you see the thing is these gems are all there but

unfortunately people have created all these this kind of a haystack and these things have been kind of drowned into that haystack and we've got to find them and and then you need somebody with a mind of you know of compassion to see this and then highlight it to people because that's another problem people they they even if they read it they will kind of they'll kind of cover it up because they would be like i don't want my daughter doing that and they'll be like no no this probably meant something else but yeah

so is a machram not needed of course not you know what is this is a look these things are just said as simple guidelines for people to know better in certain circumstances but it doesn't mean that people always need to have a matter if people can take care of themselves they can take care of themselves but this is just a guideline in like in society you set a certain just a certain principle out there it does not mean that like nobody can do it like so imagine you said well you know you shouldn't just leave a knife lying around

as a certain principle in society you know people at home shouldn't just have that but it doesn't mean that now oh my god i can't have a knife lying around i could i mean i obviously would be sensible enough to deal with it appropriately i wouldn't just you know so this is the kind of thing okay so i that's how i would advise so it isn't this isn't true that oh you need uh this mahram always there and you know like you can't trust yourself and uh and at the end of the day look she was already in a relationship with

that man before and obviously they loved each other so even though they'd been separated now for many years so but the point is how it's amazing how islam honors that kind of independent thinking and adult thinking that you know they're like it's not controlling i just felt that's very amazing soul reaper mufti do you distinguish between reason and rationality something that may be unreasonable may not necessarily be a rational impossibility right okay damn i gotta have a sip of my

coffee before i read that again all right mufti do you distinguish between reason so reason is the ability of a healthy mind to make judgment based on experience okay or based on what we have as facts so that is the actual definition of uh of reason now uh necessarily be a rational impulse something that may be unreasonable may not necessarily be a rational

impossibility um okay so rationality right you see rationale and reason often will go hand in hand generally but our reason may supersede the rationale in certain things so because based on experience of facts so it may be that we so as an example it is not rational for something to be in two places at the same time

to preoccupy two distinct locations simultaneously one body that's not rational but due to our experience with facts and research into quantum physics we have demonstrated through our experience that that actually happens so the in the quantum world it happens so we'll find subatomic particles preoccupying more than one space simultaneously so now that becomes reasonable

it enters our realm of reason even though it's still kind of not rational so that's how i distinguish between the two um but generally for the most part they are um you know they they go hand in hand for the most part so yeah and some things may you're right uh they may not be a rational impossibility but it's not reason doesn't rule so for example you know they could be like it could be rational that some some particular creatures could fly in a

certain way or that some you know but it just doesn't work that way uh what allows birds to fly obviously you're gonna look at the weight the mass obviously gravity all these oh buoyancy like what floats for example um how they can kind of float in water and swim buffalos you know whereas you know it's so large and so certain things you well it's not you know it's rationality doesn't rule out that certain other things should be able to fly you know why you know i don't like let's look at you know you can look at a turkey sorry a peacock

flying in certain things and you think well why not a chicken you know like in certain things so i think rationally they could be possible certain things but maybe through reason and experience we find that oh well okay these things don't happen based on these so is that what i think that's what you is probably the question you know probably what you're asking

right uh i'm not so sure about that is based on a calculation not intellect yeah but they say that reason is the ability of a healthy mind to pass judgment that is the definition of reason based on uh our experience so see that's where it allows the experience allows the facts and the data to kind of come in and to kind of influence our reason so that's what it is yep i don't know that's how maybe other people look at it differently all right i'll tell you what whilst we're waiting for some other interesting

questions all right let's take a look people let me tell you about some perfumes that i've come across people's people's peoples right let's begin with now what has made it this has made it to my number two people peoples peoples peoples this let me present to you is tom ford gray vetiver oh

rather people rather rather now this is a fragrance from 2009 that tom ford brought about something that has a you know when you smell it straight away it's very the obviously it's named vetiver the vetiver this cut has a very strong presence right through okay but it is a very kind of like a um a light a it's been described as sunny kind of fragrance

something that for it's uh you know for its base notes you do have um amber wood and oak moss but it has allegedly i think grapefruit they say grapefruit in its opening notes to kind of open it up uh i think it's just layered in two ways actually this not in a in the regular three uh that you get and it's been it does have a kind of a bit of a woody uh undertone to it but you know i put this on when you put it on straight away

it seems okay but as it settles it's amazing honestly i found it amazing and it's a very you know as far as tom ford goes it's quite cheap relatively as far as tom ford goes and i feel it's underrated um it's one of those fragrances that you can wear anyway seriously i think it's an all-rounder like it's something which you know some fragrances could be too loud for certain uh and some you know maybe two not loud enough but this

i mean i it's it's not so loud it's just got a like a middle balance uh it's not that loud um in that sense but it's it it made its way into my mufti number two list so i have like kind of my number one and number one is not just one perfume there might be a couple that have made it in there and then number two because i just can't decide which one gets the better and then number three and this has definitely made it to my number two people va grey vetiver i have to say absolutely people um right

this let me present to you the second so there were two i wanted to tell you guys about this is a brand that i've come across recently actually and um it's something which i i mean i've not actually heard of this brand before it's a it's a kind of like a niche market and i bought it as a tester and i fell in love with it wow peoples peoples it is uh

the pronunciation it is and this particular fragrance is called tara said tara said i'd not heard of it before i won't lie to you damn i just sprayed my mic this when you put it on straight away it is very strong it has opening notes of black pepper of cardamom of saffron it has middle notes of that will start to kick

in of rose which you might think well um you know i'm not really a fan of that of pepper some peppery kind of um middle notes but then it goes into its wood agarwood it's kind of base it's kind of warm uh it's got apparently cashmere wood but it's also got a caramel i felt maybe a vanilla as well but it's got like a leather as a base note this people let me tell you from only 2016 i believe it was made it was inspired by a mysterious night in the desert that's what they say

it made it to my number one i was i fell in love with it honestly it's when it opens up it's not it's just okay like you feel like right now you know i'm not really feeling it it's but as it settles like within half an hour it is so it's kind of got a sweet yet warm yeah it has a kind of like um it's a unisex but i mean i feel it works well with men but

i could could see i mean it would be strong and loud for for women but i feel that yeah women could wear it as well i don't feel it's something that's very clearly masculine um in that sense but it has it's it's designed as unisex but it is it has made it to my number one people to my number one so let me present to you this is my currently my perfume list that you can see right there number one two three you've got ud and that's why titiana terenci ud tara said along with creed aventis

and demali slayton they are all in my number one people and you've got tom ford ombre leather in two and now gray vetiver i have just been you know what wow it it's really uh got it impressed me uh number three is still ysl tuxedo and udwood people that's that's what i'm talking about i thought i'd share some of those with you you know on a side note i was so wowed by this by tatiana torrency that i thought what else do they have so i ended up ordering fragrance

like samples of almost all that i could get hold of their other fragrances and to be honest with you i've been disappointed with all of them so far i think one or two are still to arrive at least three have arrived absolutely i was like never would would i wear that but this is an epic epic uh kind of choice something very you know it's and it's got that it's a very oriental uh yet woody fragrance okay so and it has almost as it opens up that kind of what you'd expect like

within the muslim that muslim vibe but it goes on to just become so rich definitely people yeah vanilla i feel it's got a vanilla-ish kind of touch in there but that might be the caramel coming through but yeah cool people mixed with the leather all right so let's move back to your questions you're doing it you're doing it people so what is going on what is going on what else do uh

oh people people people picking on your check this out people i uh i came across this speaking of how we he how the mind influences what we what we think and what how we uh process information hinaya asked an interesting question is it haram to harvest wood the tree is tortured when injected with fungus by the farmers in order for the tree to produce the substance i didn't know about how it's

about the torturing hmm i don't i don't i think it's permissible um i don't like the sound of trees being tortured but i'm not so sure i'll look into that actually i don't really know about the trees being tortured but uh shukran for the question i'll definitely look into it right so speaking of how our psyche influences our perception and processes information check this out people how which word are you hearing and depending on the

word you read is what you will hear it's amazing so one says brainstorm one says green needle now if you don't believe me this time when he's pointing at that word i want you to try and look at the other word instead look at the opposite [Music] now look at the opposite green needle

[Music] and if you think i made that up i'm gonna put it again and you choose it at random okay you choose it at random whichever one you want [Music] oh people see that is the effect of the mind people how powerful the brain is wow i just found that i thought i had to share that with you guys yeah so that's what's going down man that's what's going down peoples

it's what's going down right people is it haram to extract sperm [Laughter] [Music] haram to extract i think in this case it's a bit late actually it should have

it should have been extracted uh right so is it haram to extract sperm from run off with the there is from animals if you have to give them what if you have to give them han jobs [Music] harami right so well i suppose somebody's got to extract it isn't it and you know there's an interesting question

on sperm donation and what do we think about that and i'll have to do a detailed video in the future because i won't do it justice now but i do feel that there is permissibility those grounds for i don't mean just for sperm donation that's obvious but i mean for people women who are struggling to uh let's say they're not in a relationship or and they they want to have a child can they just go and get a sperm donation and just have a child especially if they fear

that they fear that there's no you know that their biological clock is is ticking and they're running out of time i would say as a roxa i'm not saying that that's the default position to do something like that because i think that obviously has a lot of other complications in the future as well the child uh wanting to know the father is and stuff like this are very important because the place of a father in the child's mind will always be you know it will be of unfathomable importance but that said if it got to a point oh let's say there's a couple

where they know but the the father is infertile now can they just but they want to have a child that can they just and in this case you've got a husband and wife can they just like use some donated sperm i would feel that there would be grounds for permissibility to do that and i'll have to do a detailed obviously explanation on that in the future but i feel that look there are certain thing you know this this this view that people say oh just you know just suck it up don't worry just

you know don't worry this life is finite anyway and you're gonna die anyway well that's hardly that's hardly any solace is it to uh you know if you think about it what the hell is that how is that going to answer really any um any problems for these people people it's a huge suffering in life to not be able to have a child for for you know for people who don't have any children and to kind of dismiss it by just saying well you know this is what god has chosen for you well how do you know god god has chosen that

how do you know it could be that you uh you know that you do this and then you realize well actually god had chosen um you know for me to have a child through this means how do you know and i i just feel that it's so easily dismissed by the clergy and you know the the the things that they say that oh well this will mean another man's sperm has been in her womb anything calm down calm down you

know in all honesty and i feel that look there's such a kind of double standard to all these because you know when you say all this oh my god the sanctity of the womb and all this thing but in all honesty come on you get you allowed having sex with slaves and you're allowed all of this and you're

sanctity [Laughter] and so over there the sanctity you know so this is the problem that we don't have a we don't have a lens of compassion we only have a lens of power that is applied when you know when legislating islamic rulings so it's done from a power perspective so obviously when the clergy have decided because it benefits them you know they will say you know fine yeah you can have sex here you can do this you can do that you can

oh a woman being able to no no no no no but that will mean another man's sperm in her womb and you think well calm down i know the way you're dramatizing it but you know it's we're not saying she's going to some kind of an orgy we're saying that look this is a technical process by which obviously the technology now exists in the past it didn't exist like this now you could say well yeah true well in the past they could ask a man to donate sperm and they could kind of like using whatever the best means possible injected into her you know her her vagina to impregnate

her and that's true since in the past people actually did that as well in a weird way like a lot of the slave girls would actually try to capture the sperm um to impregnate themselves later on so and they would do that so because once they were impregnated they automatically just bought their freedom and they made their way out so it changed their whole status as well they became um so there's many things where they discussed that in the fit books that when the guy would pull out but she would say

[Laughter] responsibilities like maybe you pull out but not from responsibility voila so before you know it he would he would be like huh pregnant so this uh so although that did exist and people could say well you know in the past people could have done things like that as well you know they could have that's true and they didn't they didn't kind of donate sperm like that but

there was you see there was a social you see there was a very kind of sexual uh embarrassment involved with it and what modern technology has done is it's kind of turned the procedure entirely surgical so it's removed that kind of um the human social intimate sexual sensual all of that aside from it because even in the past if they would say you know they were to say to a guy oh would you mind you know there you go mate could you kind of like

could you fill that up please it's like oh damn is this i can't seem to smell your fragrance here but you see there was a sexual side to it like you're telling him to go and masturbate and do this and and this also held a kind of embarrassment in society and it held a kind of um and remember there's in many cases it's still very unknow it wasn't the likelihood was even though it's still possible but it was reduced drastically because obviously he'd have to unless he was actually

having sex for him to and then get that cup to her and then she's to try and pour it through and it's possible it could still cause pregnancy but not uh the way it's done today with all this technology this whole side the stigma and everything has been unquestionably removed it isn't even it is not even in the picture and that was a huge part and then people would say yes but there was the messer you know the lineage that goes back to the father and i would agree but except in this day and age you see and i've

got a clip on this as well already that lineage doesn't play that kind of a role anymore in society it is important unquestionably but it's not the way it was in the time of 7th century arabia for the arabs for them lineage was everything it was worth living and dying over it was everything you know it was today people most muslims in many parts of the world don't even know their lineage beyond their grandfather grandparents that's like the norm the norm in like pakistan is they wouldn't know like they wouldn't know their great

grandfather's name by and large maybe many do but i would say most people probably don't you know the great grandparents they don't know like all their great-grandparents names for example let alone great-great-grandparents i actually do but most people don't so yeah so i feel that there is grounds for for all of this cool mufti why did the slave girls only cover from naval to knee does the eradication of slavery remove the necessity of hijab

right i i'm not so sure um whether they cut i don't think the slave girls covered from naval to knee i think they did generally cover but they didn't cover as well so you have to remember back then the kind of dressing that people wore like they just wore like in like like a kind of like almost like a uh like a thumb kind of like a nighty kind of dress like that i guess and the way they just had it was just a slit over here you know they just fit their head through it and so that would often show a certain amount of cleavage um

and especially for if a woman's working and she's moving around and you know they would be kind of like and they would they their dress thing would be kind of lifted and tied up so because obviously if it's right down to the leg you can't move around freely can you especially if you're so the lower part of the leg like let's say the the shin part would often be exposed when they're working as would the arms they would kind of maybe be exposed the upper chest may be exposed so it was like that i don't think they just sat there being breasted because i don't that just

i don't buy that honestly i don't buy that um because that that would just be uh that would be a great a great place to be at that time but i don't think the societies would function like that so yeah but this is why to justify the scholars said well okay that's not the aura then what is it that they always do cover well they cover definitely you know from the navel to the knee and they just came up with that but this is a fine example of where the

double standards come up you know where they are some women you have to cover everything including the face and you've got some women that it doesn't matter they're not covered at all and this is the the kind of hypocrisy um that i found that i find and you know other scholars found this as well hypno ibn hassam has a huge goal at the scholars for this that what are you on about and and i feel that those men that go on about you know women must cover the face and they must do this and oh and but they're the same people that will advocate in the books that oh but if they were slave women they wouldn't need to cover it at all

and you think where is this you know this doesn't sound what you're saying doesn't sound divine it just sounds like the politics of men which you know which is all israel in my understanding yeah and so i feel that so i'm saying that in essence the this really extend to meant it's really meant to extend to all women it was simply just a ruling of modesty um and then there was a dispensation beyond some aspects like if the need was

then okay that's how i see it east london munda says mufti can i buy a chinese girl from ebay and zebra deleted is you're doing it g you're doing it see he deserved to have that deleted can i buy a girl from ebay and then east london but shook him for the super chat anyway i'll use that on my let's go to ebay yeah what's on ebay [Laughter] all right so you're doing it you're

doing it people ah this is uh this one this one yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but that day and age huh the slavery the kidnappings the abduction [Laughter]

allah let me tell you a little story people huh so those of you that may have heard of this term those of you that study arabic resilient is in arabic it's a term used for when somebody comes to his own destruction like he comes carrying like basically it's he's coming to his his own death and it was often a term used that certain rulers or people in power would do

when they wanted to execute someone but they didn't want to execute them just for political reasons or whatever so what they would do is give them a sealed letter and it's got the royal kind of seal on there and they would send them off to a different governor or a different ruler and and what it would do is when they hope it would say

or you know if the person carrying this brings this to you then kill him so you'd be like [Laughter] so this this and so the person the governor would then just kill him this was also for example the alleged thing to do they claimed uthman uh had sent for um

but he hadn't sent it but this is what caused the pretext that okay who sent it then because they apparently intercept this messenger who has this thing that when he comes do you kill him so this they get this from the term they call this and this story goes back to a person called muthalames and let me tell you a bit about this story you've probably heard of them

i don't think i've got it here you know the arabic great arabic poems that were used to be framed allegedly on the kaaba so now amongst them was tara fatigue right now he was one of them who has um his amazing uh he's amazing as well the one the famous one that even the prophet would quote and you know sometimes i tell you something on a side note it's ridiculous how muslims will go just to kind of prove a point that they you know un

unknowingly disrespect i feel is disrespectful to the prophet but they feel ah masha'allah masha'allah see the prophet would quote this poem this is from jahiliya time in fact i believe he may have the just been in line with uh when the prophet was born and the young person but but he's around that time anyway he's from he the generation before just before the prophet though so he lived in hera the capital the cultural capital of the arabs which would be in modern-day iraq and where the nabataean script comes from by

the way into makkah why we have this arabic we have today it's actually the nabatean script but it comes via abu sufyan kind of imports it so this um so his poem with the famous line saturday like that if you do not know the days that time will teach you and such a person will come to explain to you who you did not prepare like meaning that you know if you're ignorant then life will teach you allah and the

prophet even would quote this poem and then people you know to prove a point they say oh by the way when the prophet would quote it he would get the the wasn't wrong you know there wasn't the scale the prophet when he would quote he would get the scale wrong and they say this kind of trying to be like masha'allah because the prophet wasn't a poet and you think look calm down love

you know it's like what the hell is wrong with you guys you know like stop trying to infantilize the profit you know of course why would the prophet get that wrong you know you can all get it right and the prophet can't get it right you know oh no he would get it wrong you know i find this stuff disrespectful towards the prophet just because you want to prove your point that oh the prophet wasn't a poet you see it doesn't mean that you weren't ashamed one of those and sure it didn't mean somebody you could simply just say poetry it meant those kind of people the

shamans but anyway that's a different topic but coming back to here this uh now he was somebody that was a famous poet lived in hera and the king of his time was was what's his name ah right it was even a hind they call him ibn hind but i believe it was

was the king of his time but uh anyway he was known for if he satirized took the mick out of someone if he mocked them in a poem that was their social media that person was he was named and shamed you could everybody would learn the poem and so people feared his uh hijab they called it hijab and this one time apparently he because he he he himself just to give you a bit about him that he had a rough upbringing and he kind of uh his own cousin

his uncles kind of because his father died when he was young they kind of for his money just were a bit cruel to him and his mom so he kind of when he did grow get up grow older he spent a life he he spent his life in indulgence and luxury and just kind of alcohol and women and that kind of stuff but then he he did have a reputation because of his poetry and he was a fighter as well he was a warrior so he apparently says some poem hija

mocking the king so when the king finds out he's like allah [Laughter] and so he sets out to kill him but he doesn't just he thinks like if i do it you know these people have said some poems that it's going to go viral you know what i'm going to send him to bahrain and the king they will kill him so he sends him and his uncle whose name is muthalamis sends them with these letters he says hey i've got something for you in bahrain and these guys tarafa his assal he or his origin was from bahrain so he's like

all right awesome so they go they think it's some kind of a post and they're going to get money and patronage and little do they know that they are carrying their own destruction right so what happens is along the way muthalomis says i wonder what's in this letter he opens it up but he can't read so they get hold of some servant of some person that could read and they say what does he say so that guy says who is muthalamis and he says oh it's me he says well according to this when you get there he's asking the king to kill muttalamis

so mutalumbus is like what the hell so he legs he says i'm and he tells his nephew uh is barafa and he tells tarafa look your letter is going to have the same thing and tarfa is like the king wouldn't do that to me and he's saying look i'm telling you let's legit don't do not like i'm out of here.

and like that he's gone he disappears arafat i'm true to my word the king wouldn't do that to me i don't believe that you know he has too much respect for me and blah blah blah so he turns up to this uh ruler of uh bahrain and lo and behold people that's exactly what the letter had so the letter is like kill him so he's like well look i ain't gonna do it because i know his family that that tribe

he's from um i believe he was from um was it was it but he's from one of those kind of tribes and they're kind of like sister tribes in that sense and he so he says look the ruler writes back to the king saying look i don't i ain't gonna kill him if you want to kill him send someone else to kill him i ain't gonna do it so he says all right he sends someone else he'll go and do it and so meanwhile tarafa is imprisoned so and he's had this life of suffering

you know you know this whole thing where his own uncles kind of tortured him tormented him they tormented his mom they you know all this for the inheritance that because there was a certain amount of money left to them and and he's the one you know there's a famous poem in arabic and that's from his that way he says that you know the oppression from your own relatives is much harsher upon a man than being struck down by a ruthless

sword so that that famous poem uh so he's locked up in prison tarifas during these days while somebody else is coming to kill him and they he says this poem he says aslam any homie that he says you know my own people surrendered me because he had called out for help when he's now in bahrain when he he said some kind of poem like calling out that don't are you guys going to let this happen yeah

i think it was bakker he was from um so he says are you going to let this happen and and nobody's kind of really come to his to his aid so he says every friend and companion who i had has kind of betrayed him he feels so may allah you know made they just be you know to hell with them that's cool

[Laughter] he says all of them are like you know in in their dealings there's conniving more conniving than a fox because this this kind of this this methyl this proverb of foxes being conniving that and he says and this part became a proverb in arabic that today that how similar is tonight with yesterday night meaning that you know for so long really they've always just been snakes to him but this part in arabic is a proverb

that what is and this poem of his islam that they did not you know that this poem of his and he was then eventually killed yeah and you know the thing is that when the guy came to kill him he asks him that how would you like to be killed

[Laughter] you know that yamuna alaika and [Laughter] you know the favor they do to you that you know the favor is how would you like to be killed so it's it's amazing that he says that you know he says in canada but he says if you must then he says then let me get drunk and let me just just allow me to bleed out so that's what they actually do so they allow you know they let him drink and then

they just kind of like cut his thing and allow him to just bleed out and he dies and a proper tragedy actually and he's somebody that was known for his um because he had a chance to get away but he says that if i've run then what would be an example of because you know he says i'm the kind of person that if they if they ask of me i will always be there that i'm you know i'm not going to be intimidated and it's amazing and these were the kind of heroes or and the kind of figures in which around whose stories

the backdrop sorry it created the backdrop in which the prophet and other arabs grew up so these were the kind of stories that they grew up around and these poems you know this kind of stuff i thought i'd share that with you guys guys it's whoa we gotta really wrap this up i study abroad and did i go on my own i did go on my own as well i did kind of create a little group when i first went got them all to go as well but i was

only 18 then but uh ever since i came back from damascus i would continue to go for many years i studied yeah just on my own right so people let's wrap this up so this is a clip basically we're gonna uh there's two things uh first of all i came across this this is a uh an interesting just a brief thing by sheikh attabek and i'm curious about this

saying we've had our mediation to settle the case against solemn ahmed he's made an offer for dropping the case but it will be going ahead to court sheikh atabek will be taking it ahead because um because that's apparently he's been set up and he's had his things so that's a bit of just a little tantalizing we'll have to wait for that the other part is we've had uh this clip with can guys wear scenes asking for myself this chain people for men to wear chains because it imitates women it imitates sinners these chains these are not nice my friend

describes the people so what you can see is i was sent this video mufti will seem i i personally do do like mufti wasim on certain you know but these kind of teachings are what is dumbing down our and i'm just gonna play the clip again uh our ummah that you get this he's being asked that can we wear chains and he says that no you can't and then he goes on to give the justification that why because it obviously one it it's similar to what women wear

and two who i believe that's what he says about women but we'll hear that in a moment uh and he says but more importantly resembles this chain you know the chain it resembles the people of the hellfire [Laughter] so the people of the hellfire are going to be in chains so we can't wear chains because the people of hellfire are going to be in chains so let's hear these people you're mufti can guys wear scenes asking for myself it's not allowed for men to wear chains because it imitates women

it imitates sinners and also when allah describes the people of hell he says they have chains around their necks so if you can't look like the people of jannah then don't look like the people so honestly i came across [Music] i was like this is meredith people

this is clearly the people of hell [Laughter] this is clearly what mufti saab here is doing to the chain

look let me be clear what's not the concept of hell what it's not okay the concept of hell is not that oh when you go there you know allah gives you all this jewelry and you just sit down and you just go oh bro what are you doing here mashallah you've got a solid um you know medallion there what were you doing it's like whoa he's wearing platinum [Laughter] he's wearing platinum he must have definitely been up to some and you got the pharaoh there in all these multiple chains

this is definitely not the concept of hell okay so trying to say well resembling the people of hell by wearing jewelry uh a cha-cha cha-cha [Laughter] that's not you know where it says the metaphor of people being dragged and these things salsa uh and these kind of silsilla these links that are dragging people because the links were the the kind of metaphor that was being given were people that were let's say at the end of a war and they

had rounded people up and they dragged them and things like that people used to do this in that there was this backdrop and they were in chains these kind of like ah and they've been kind of like pulled along and this kind of imagery was in the imagination of the arabs and this is being played on in saying well people being kind of like dragged in these they're being taken away to their peril to their destruction obviously i mean i don't believe that's literal anyway these are just metaphors and symbolism but that's playing on that imagination

of the arabs who had this understanding from the greeks how they did it the persians did it how they kind of dragged all these thousands of people away in chains and and this is where the quranic or the islamic literature where it mentioned people in these links and chains of being taken away to hell not that oh masha'allah they're being given necklaces [Laughter]

let's give them this let's give them another golden chain and yeah this one only 18 carats you know no no no no no these are not nice so this is the term honestly the total don't think you're asking for myself it's not allowed for men to wear chains because it imitates women women and also describes the people of hell he says they have chains around their necks can't look like the people of jannah you don't look like the people of janna oh [Laughter]

[Music] you know this is the most stupidest thing i've ever heard or if you wear a chain it resembles women and what about what about bracelets and bangles what about i'm just saying and then they're going to say well obviously that was a but doesn't allah say in the quran that people in jannah will have asaw means they're going to have all these bracelets from gold he said well oh but

that's in jannah so what was the prophet giving glad tidings to uh soraka about that oh give him glad tidings that when he will be made to wear the bracelets of kisrah why was ah cha-cha the prophet was giving glad tidings about something haram and what about braiding your hair isn't doesn't that resemble women braiding their hair did not the companions at least 20 to 30 companions shall can he brings

used to have as the general style that they would have braided his i mean the braided hairstyle what about the kohl the eyeliner the kind of surma the the arabs wore is that not come on like today which resembles women more if i sat here with eyeliner on [Laughter] or if i had this you know like i mean come on like if i'm sitting here with like eyeliner and i'm like um i'm like all those hijab

girls i'm like this guy on the left to be insecure in the hijab i'm like do you understand what's done you made a woman i'm like and then i'm wearing a thumb which is like a frock i mean come on wearing a thobe which is like a frock does that not resemble women in this day and age come on walking around in like a frock and i'm just saying if you're gonna say well this resembles by wearing a chain around your neck all of a sudden you you resemble a woman

by wearing a chain you resemble women and and then you resemble the people of hellfire and the frock you're wearing this one well you know this one so this is the kind of absurdity that we have and then this oh that they and this is how we can tell who's a man and who's a woman oh it's through the you know they're worse than oh it's clearly just through the uh the jewelry they're wearing obviously we couldn't tell otherwise

why do you think the karisa has such difficulty distinguishing haris like [Laughter] this is just a dumbest thing stupid i'm not going to let you get the chat so people i had to comment on that that's just so ridiculous and the hellfire thing was as dumb as it gets i mean it just doesn't get any dumber

oh god damn well people i hope uh that's all good got it i'm gonna wrap this up guys uh if there's any uh issues do feel free to reach out if there's anything i didn't leave anything out did i nope right so do reach out to me oh by the way i've launched my patreon people my patreon no it's not that is it this no it's not that it's this all right people i've i'm gonna this my hall of fame i'll have my patrons names on that in the coming sessions so guys
