Recap: the novel, insult versus critique, and the false story summarised

he had walked on these streets on this soil that dear eye he refused to ride a horse or any whether it was a mule or anything inside the inner part of medina said no i won't do it this is where the prophet walked out of love for the prophet salallahu so when we see these things it's it's just it's this is just a reminder okay i really wanted to recover it because of why it was relevant the whole satanic verses what is it an overview of salman rushdie sorry [Music] not not any

to him but to uh because the name is actually not his surname as i mentioned it's actually an affiliation decided by his father to the great maliki so an overview of him a psychoanalysis on why he may have authored that book his lifestyle his way of thinking what his book was about the kind of characters the novel why it was blasphemous we covered that it wasn't just that he was critiquing islam he has the right to critique islam any person doesn't accept islam or believe in islam or anything you if you don't believe in something you have the right to critique it

but let's not conflate that with i just have a free license to insult you i can just swear at you i can just call your mom this and this and this and this just because i have the right to to wag my tongue and i have to i have the ability to do it that's not how human societies are built you know people say oh the human society this is democracy no it isn't democracy is showing people courtesy that they get a choice in things you see just coming out just saying democracy is my right to just swear at

people and insult them and insult them no it isn't that's that sure that's a very twisted way of looking at it but then what were these satanic verses in arabic called okay hadith so we looked at that we looked at where um first of all how these were utterly false and there were a story that was uh scaffolded uh it was on the base of an incident of surah najam where the where everybody in the haram

prostrate prostate prost prostrates and the question was why did they do that so some later people gave an explanation this start to attach it to this verse of the quran which we covered in the beginning about the verse being that it's nothing about that the verse is a general verse and it gives meaning it gives strength to people it reminds us that look sometimes when we have certain wishes some wishes can derail us some wishes we can be we need to focus always on the present and the future and we gain strength

from that so we are taking a look at verse 52 from and some of us serene just saw the the trade cells they had to start putting this in but tabari even though he put it in but he mentions at the end all these are before him the um or around his time his kind of era in the 300s you've got ibnakozema mentioning it's absolutely fabricated from people

then you've got goddamn you've got many we showed many people many people showing this is utterly unacceptable it's disrespectful it's blasphemous it's haram it's like a jews they said you know you can't say this kind of stuff but yes you had some people who were so um committed to the is nad project of chain that they felt you can't just dismiss any chains even if they're weak because they invested in the project like even hajjar and

after himsuti and you also had ibn samia now they said well in that case we're going to say this has some basis which was actually incoherent because even by their principles by the way the shaffer is to do not accept mursal so the rewayats that are not connected at the end they don't accept the masahi so for him to say that oh but i suppose he's saying that well uh i accept they're all weak but because there's several we're going to say it has a basis but if it has a basis are you going to say well it has some basis based on okay these people prostrated we don't know why

or you're saying well no this incident actually happened and then they start justifying that which was absolutely unwarranted but they did it but that's fine i mean okay it's not fine but it's them and we don't need to blindly follow them they did it they were wrong and you've got clear explanations got lengthy anybody wants to read can read detailed explanation i advise you for further reading you can read the shifter this section of qadhafi's which he cites is a very similar to avocado artery if you want a very good and more recent

several books albany's book on this it's actually really fascinating because he's bringing all these people he's bringing he brings him to me as well and he brings uh called the earth he brings our work he clearly shows that this is unacceptable this is utterly unacceptable we can't be saying things like this so that's the summary of what this hadith is and the satanic verses i hope inshallah for anyone that want to have a certain grasp on the topic this has been helpful cool
