all right are so [Music]

let me just bring up the the chat box to a quick audio check why is my screen looking like it's been all right that's so that i don't know what the comments are going on people are having a chat amongst themselves [Laughter] it happens this it happens man it happens so why is my uh mike hitting the red over there let me just take this down a bit see if that helps hello hello hello hello

so people talk to me what's going down right somebody said well i thought it'd be you know ah so so so all right stefan you do and you're doing it much love much love uh for with the super chat those of you just tuning in people you know you know the protocol right click like click share you gotta spread the love people spread the fit and faster that's what i'm talking about so

what will we be taking a look at tonight right um well mm-hmm a ruling i've been asked this question i thought hello i'll take a look at it today it was on um buying pets buying dogs specifically people were asking but i suppose buying pets by extension take a look at that uh we'll take a look at this thing of uh um we'll take magic and relationships

your people are people you just can't well people's struggles are the the challenges they go through so take a look at that obviously our beloved the famous poet he says that some that nobody is is just disloyal

just like that you know that he says quote so much that after all somebody there must have been some pressure you know so speaking of bashir buddha or momento this i did have a if i find it that is i did have something of rasheed brothers that i did want to i was thinking you know i'll i'll share that let me see if i can find it may have

uh is this it people people people so that's nothing like sharing a poem huh to get the the ball rolling people so this is bashir badar it is in urdu like in arabic so this is embodied roses people can

ah quite a a deep deep line there that you see that within me is there is resident within me a hmm an enemy who up a bitter enemy that's what he's saying within him that to be alone with himself he he finds himself now frightened that this that's you know couldn't be

understood on many that is once again another very uh deep line right there what that means is that he's addressing life that you've given

me less space than a grave would give me and the the bitter uh shock to reality in that that if i was to spread if i was to kind of reach out extend my legs my head hits the wall what he's trying to say is that in a grave at least a person can lie you know completely flat and life hasn't even given him this much space obviously speaking in metaphors

so right what is going down you see on that note uh my thoughts i was discussing this with the i was mentioning it to a few friends actually that it's really fascinating how in certain cultures you see this is in light of depression okay um depression is a uh it's sorry just getting my dr oh people my

skull skill people skill so in light of you see this recent century uh depression has really become a phenomenon quite a widespread phenomenon and it's debilitating it's kind of crippled countless people uh led to all kinds of tragedies

now i was just observing and kind of contemplating how is depression okay now let me um i know the you see a lot of people suffer from depression so i'm trying to word this in in the most precise way that i can but you see what if depression is

a a kind of self-fulfilling or a self-empowering psychosocial phenomenon with psychosomatic abilities so let me elaborate what if depression obviously it's it's real but what if it is actually in a great part a kind of theory a myth that if you embrace it it then takes on a life of its own and those people who don't embrace it as

a myth they are not as debilitated by it i don't know you see i'm i'm contemplating this theory that what i'm trying to say is you see the symptoms of depression like that you know the general things that they will say about the lack of interest in things loss of appetite the kind of insomnia or um this kind of sense of worthlessness and all these kind of

frustrations that people go through they are felt generally as well people to experience them without being uh clinically depressed so if you call this clinically depressed right so people that may just sometimes go you know everybody goes through these kind of experiences at some point but it's not it's not chronic it's not long term it may just be for a couple of hours it may be for a day some cases maybe a couple of days but that's really it with normal people now when people accept that actually there

is a condition i now have this condition what happens is i think that that it's like a virus that it it becomes self it becomes autonomous and it takes over and i think it then if not impossible would become incredibly difficult to remove from from the mind or the brain and it would be then it would manifest itself in very

real qualities like so you would see the insomnia you'd see the uh the the loss of appetite losing or gaining weight or whatever and all of these things would become real so that's uh it's a an interesting kind of theory i know people may not like to hear that but and i'll tell you what got me thinking further about this i was watching a um i was watching this short clip on color in the past so different communities in the past didn't have the kind of colors we have today

or they didn't have names for them so it was called something like um why the greeks didn't see blue it was a a brief you know just something on youtube now it was highlighting that in if you look at the old greek texts whether it's homer or different people writing they don't use the word blue so they don't describe the sea or the sky as blue ever in fact they describe it as something um like very kind of like muddy uh waters and things like like they don't

use the they may give it a description with something but not something what we would associate with blue if anything they saw it as an offset of black which is incredibly strange for us today since blue is such a a uh you know important significant color in all of our lives so the question is that could these people not see blue of course they could see it but what happens is when they didn't when they didn't have a name for it that phenomenon is still observed but

not as powerfully so so what they so sociologists and other sorry not social other researchers psychologists and other uh uh people studying ethnographic studies have have conducted tests where people who are unfamiliar with a particular color let's say um they are asked to spot out what they see as different so imagine they see um pink as a shade of red which many cultures did actually so

if they don't have a separate title for it they're not as quick to point it out now you might think well that's obvious but it's actually not to these people to these people it will just be another form of red but what happens is the moment these people are taught that that is actually a separate entity with the name pink for example or blue or whatever it is the mind now pronounces that color and amplifies it every time they see it

so the visual effects of picking up that color become actually much more vivid for those people after they learned that so it's not that prior to that they couldn't see it but after it it becomes a much more real color to them in the real world and pronounced and distinguished so based on this i was you know that kind of got me thinking again and i was thinking hmm you know if a person was not to embrace the myth of depression

would they still get as depressed as people who do embrace the myth and my hypothesis is that they wouldn't that they may get depressed but not as depressed because they don't because the mind can't resonate the myth because they haven't embraced it so hmm that's my hypothesis but yeah i mean it's food for thought i know people may not like it but what i was going to say i got onto got distracted mentioning this what i was going to say is it's interesting

um how in the past certain cultures they glorify depression and and from that is the urdu culture it's really fascinating that the urdu poetry from the 18th um definitely 19th century onwards up until even today um although the great poets obviously are of the past the concept of ram this melancholy this kind of state of being saddened and depressed and was seen as something that they were all seeking

and it was like seen as a prize that i want yo ram that this was the thing that they would um everything you know it'd be always about all of these things they sought them and they weren't seen as a distinguished poet until they were inflicted by this ram you know

it's like when he says what is it that if i have you then the whole you know world of my life is enlightened but he says if i have you then what is then what is the need for the room of this world um now it's interesting it kind of that how those people when they saw it

in such a prize-like culture um it changes the comp it absolutely changes everything to do with melancholy i i just you know these were just some thoughts that i was really um amazed by when i started contemplating over it that wow i never thought of that before how these cultures glorified depression and when they glorified it they almost sought it out i'm not almost they did seek it out and it was a it was a a mark of you know of distinction for them

so yeah just food for thought people just putting it out there right so what is going on somebody said lol now depression is a myth well everything is a myth to a great extent so when i said the myth of depression i meant in this as a psychosocial narrative because ultimately most things are like our myths are even though we embrace them like like money money is a myth possession is a myth laws are a myth

states are a myth um beliefs are a myth um all of these things ultimately are myths i don't mean in the mythological sense i just meant and as things that actually exist in the mind and then we associate them with something in the real world but they're not actually that association isn't as obvious it's a human made association so yeah anyway food for thought people let's my love is that a myth that's actual i'm afraid uh it do and you're doing it people

you're doing it um but i feel that we should be allowed to speak about these things including depression we shouldn't have a culture where you're not allowed to question things you know we don't want a fascist state for god's sake we can question god but you can't question depression [Laughter] so speaking of myths and conspiracy theories and mayhem people uh the first couple to undertake the vaccine oh there they are right in front of us a young 20 year old that

couple who once they took the i'm joking i'm joking people know there they are within the uk so i know this is um something a lot of people are disturbed by i would uh you see people have asked me i've said that although i don't have much faith in the vaccine because i feel that it's a rush job i don't think equally i don't feel it's the kind of like an end you know the end of the world or with some control mechanism

and i don't think you're gonna kind of die by taking it or you're gonna so i'm you know so i'm that's my response to it okay to people who are asking me that would i take it if i have to take it i'll take it i'm not kind of like uh oh my god you know if i take this i'm gonna turn into something some kind of a zombie but on you know on that note i do i don't have much faith in it because i feel it's a rush job i feel it's just about making money uh pfizer are ruthless you know if apart from

you know if if they were to give a choice fizer would say you know you could take the vaccine or you could take the viagra i mean you'd have or everybody lining up to take they'll be like yep can i have an appointment please so i don't have you know i don't believe the the way that the hope that they're giving in saying oh my god this is something that's going to eliminate all of this and and i don't like the force factor i'm just being real i think that is a bit of a police state approach uh to kind of force people to take something

i mean under human rights you cannot force uh medical treatment upon an individual that's part of the you know the treaties that have been signed post world war ii that you can't force treatment medical treatment or medical intervention and people cannot be liable for they cannot be punished for refusing medical intervention that is a right that human beings ought to have and even islamically you ought to you do have the right to refuse tadawi and refuse to be medicated i'm not

saying that that's somebody should refuse because it's common sense that you'd want help um but if you doubted and you have a right to doubt things like i feel that look it is a rush job come on like let's be real i mean they couldn't you know the in a couple of months they knocked together a vaccine and you know they've been trying for the for this virus they've been trying for the aids virus for how long no joy there with all the money in the world and you know they they get they get some kind of an antidote or something for this

within a few months backed by the world's leading viagra company of the world um yeah but that said i don't think you're going to become a zombie i don't think this is the pla plot of the gel i don't think uh you know by taking this there's going to be any serious uh implications like you're gonna kind of develop some i don't i don't feel that if i had to take it i'll take it um that's my perspective on it for those of you that were asking but you have follow and accepted if something is in your benefits i don't know what that means

you will need to vaccine to travel your job yep duke and that's my point yeah i agree that if i had to take it because most likely i would probably have to take i'm often traveling and stuff uh if i have to take it i'll take it it's no big deal obviously i wouldn't go running to be the first in line just because i can't be bothered i mean i don't really see much i i'm a bit skeptical on their process um i've read somewhere that they only carried it out on 70 odd people have only something really weird and i was like that can't be for real

but i've been told anyway that's enough talk on the vaccine but that's my thoughts on it i um i'll take the chip yeah i mean if they want to give a that's probably the future isn't it we're all being chipped and you're doing it people you're doing it um right what is going down opinion chai guevara let me check with my facebook gente what's going down people what's going down sir raj you're doing

it you're doing it right zaman clear fushi you're doing it you're doing it imam kazi you're doing it right alright so we're on drugs tonight say panic yes yeah that's standard i've already had the virus what and for she that's exactly my point that because i have already uh i'm pretty sure as well i've had the coved earlier on this year in spring so i

think to myself what's the point yeah well so what's going on amy you're doing it imran khan you're doing it right so people's people's peoples what else is going on i did have a poem somewhere that i usually share it's from [ __ ] oh yeah that's the wrong one so all right we'll have to give that a miss then so

what else is going down look at that right let's take a look at some of your questions that are coming through any cure for a wahabi brain [Laughter] speaking of wahhabi brains and some of the controversies

right some of the controversies people let's uh there was if i can one momento mum right let me just see where this is

sorry [Music] but i don't think he's forcing them although he is kind of urging them so they oh yeah sure as you can see remove the face veil so this kicked up a bit of controversy online so he's saying that look there is nothing in the kitabo

to prove this face veil thing and it is a wahhabi um introduction or a wahabi innovation so now although i admit it's not purely a wahabi thing it has been in the textbooks since the beginning however he is absolutely correct in saying that it is not from the quran sunnah that part is absolutely true so although the hanafi madhhab does also speak of things like face coverings um but they make it very clear this is not from

the kitab was sunnah this is from and some maliki's who spoke of it as well made it very clear this was not from the kitab or sunnah this was from where they were in certain places certain women felt endangered so it was more than litharia to kind of prevent a kind of harm in certain societies it was not uh from the kitab was so they make it very clear now some madhhabs like the shafi'ir and some of the hanabila did feel it was an obligation to cover the face now there's nothing in the quran sunnah

that clearly proves that but they obviously extrapolated and and took certain rulings for granted and that's the perspective so i so right now although i am in favor of preaching that making it very clear that look this face veil is nothing to do with the quran of the of the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam yes some scholars have said this throughout the centuries based on their day and age and based on their culture which you know if you

lived a thousand years ago um you know in some i don't know some kind of dangerous volatile territory uh yeah sure you know if you did that as some kind of tribal practice but if you fast forward to the 21st century you know in all honesty that's not really happening in the streets of london or birmingham or manchester or or paris or wherever it is new york these places you know nobody's going to be so oh my god gobsmacked by the face of a of a woman you know even i mean she may be

extremely beautiful but nobody's gonna just kind of jump out of a van pick her up and run off with just because they've seen her face and those kind of things although you may have feared the bandits 800 years ago living in a desert somewhere today these things don't really happen like that in this part of the world you don't need to be so frightened and covered up and um like that so and so just to be clear on that secondly what this mufti the chechen mufti is saying so i do i agree although in part is he's just reducing it to the wahhabis the wahhabis

today emphasize this point more than any other groups so that's why he's probably using them as an example um but it is more than just the wahhabis who have said this but to force women to remove it should that be done right okay i don't agree with force okay that would be wrong equally because i think you shouldn't force people to do anything to do with clothing so if somebody did want to walk around dressed like that you know that's

what you can do is advise them if you're in that role if they ask or you're educating them that this is not actually from the quran that this was not what the prophet taught however if you want to although some men in the past did say this but that's all it is the opinion of some men now if you want it's not what god has said it's not what the prophet said but some scholars did say it so if you want to follow them and do this that's ultimately all you're doing is just following the opinion of a man probably lived about 1200 years ago but you're not following the quran

sunnah by doing it however if you do do it you shouldn't be nobody should force somebody to like they should never rip it off or something like that that would be equally a violation um and an encroachment on that person's personal civil rights to be able to exercise whatever the hell they want you know as long as it's not harming someone else and them covering themselves is not harming someone else so yeah so that's what i say all i i'm not sure if in this clip the chechnyan scholar is actually forcing them and the people

that wrote the you know the kind of the titles have listed it as he's forcing them i'm under the impression he's just kind of urging them but if it is forced that part is wrong cool i hope that makes some sense i've been asked to comment on that um so that's my views on it that it has no basis but force of any kind is wrong all right people so what else is going down

all right some scholars were mad they said ridiculous stuff yeah you know i've been asked duke you're doing it you're doing it uh if they are also brainwashed that they need a nepap then why do they leave their houses yeah but you know what it is look i'm gonna be honest you know sometimes you can't like i don't blame the the women because really although even the women that win ahab won't admit to these but really it's the men who've convinced them about this and you see they've been made to feel guilty like if you do this you're gonna burn in

hell you're gonna do this you're gonna so people they do it because they worry about the afterlife so they you know they get like really and sometimes in many cases their men might be insecure like i don't want no man to see what your face looks like um which you know i don't and people kind of pride themselves on it they create these little echo chambers i remember one speaking to someone and he said that and he said it in a very proud way he said you know i needed something from home and i was somewhere wherever he was and he said i needed that thing and my

mate was going to come so he's mate he's going to meet his friend and he needed this thing and his mate is close to his house so he asked his mate can you go pick this up from my house so something nothing major like i don't know let's say some papers he needed some papers or some documents or something now he said that when he went there uh his his wife sorry it wasn't papers it would have been bigger something larger than papers but he said when he went there his wife phoned him and said uh you you know your friend is here so his friend found him as well said look i'm there nobody's opening the door

so his wife called him and said that yes somebody's at the door but because he's a non-mahram so he's not related to me i will not open the door to him i don't care so he is like he's like [Laughter] all of a sudden the gates of heaven opened and the angels started singing praise and oh

the heavenly music and the light came down and she began her israel [Laughter] [Music] so [Music] this was like a really proud moment for this person

like i'm thinking are these people seriously uh handicapped like like i'm thinking to myself what the hell is this for real like how what that to me honestly is is either these people are suffering from some psychosis that's not normal behavior that is psychotic behavior i'm telling you those be such mindsets out there are very i would be very scared of such mindsets because they just that's just weird guys man that's like

taking weird to to the nth degree but anyway so people uh kush kaki you're doing it says i'm going broke with many super chats getting missed you're doing it kushkaki let me look out for your super chats don't worry about it right here is one by dill faro's interview of alisati on bbc asian network where he talks about classic razzle music originated from the depressed of society

did not conform to their sexuality sexuality rather how does the section i don't get the sexuality part uh oh so what i take it what you're trying to say is the people couldn't act out on their sexuality so they expressed it through um they kind of channeled it through this this means um what they call in psychoanalysis sublimation to sublimate rather what chacha freud

would refer to as sublimation where you channel certain energy usually of a kind of uh sexual or like a kind of like some act that is usually passionate but you channel it through some other means so somebody making it result in art instead um but you're saying the same thing about poetry that's interesting i've not watched it i will look out for it you said it's on bbc asian network send me a link and i will check it out um all right so what is going down sauron osman mufti abu leith

my advice allah bless you and your family i love you brother ah jioji i love you too man allah keep you happy i mean right so mufti took this joke too far right so let's see what what is on man trying to find

somebody said mufti what are is a good guy i mean you know from what i've known of him we've met in the past once or twice but we have remained remotely in touch on and off so i have um upon occasion what tapped him and he does you know reply very courteously he despite his uh i'm sure is very clear his opinions don't agree with me but he's been very respectful very courteous

uh i do you know if only all of you know these scholars were like that who disagreed with you because i've not seen him ever being rude or being and he's he's expressed anyway that he's open to have a dialogue i have said to him that i would like to have a dialogue with him um he's ex he's not said no but i think he said look just give him a bit of time you see the problem is a lot of these people have so much pressure from the um you know from the crowds from the people who are sometimes maybe not directly paying them but

in that circle of who pay their salaries because a lot of these people work in masjids so or work for islamic organizations so islamic organizations are always with a particular denomination they're never universal they always follow a particular sect so no matter how open they profess to be they're usually not so if one of the imams starts getting to palipali with other groups it bothers them sometimes and especially somebody like me because i'm very i'm a maverick i speak my mind so

that upsets people sometimes so i get that it is tough you're tough this one you know it's not easy this one mufti do you make fear of isis al-qaeda boko haram and others no i don't make the fear of them although i you know i don't i suppose i would like to treat them as though i do take feed of them but it is not our place in islam to call anybody a kafir ultimately that is um

you know only allah knows who is a believer and who isn't but obviously isis and these groups are as far removed from islam as anybody could be but as anybody that is not a muslim could be that's how you know in practice they are removed with their bloodthirsty approach but it is true that they are ultimately basing their things on a twisted interpretation of the quran was sunnah that is true they are using verses uh which with a twisted um a a kind of

uh monstrous wheel interpretation of it so and we can't deny that we can't say no they're using the bible they're not using the bible they are misusing the quran right so what else is going down people somebody said what about jin having sex huh the the sacks the jin having the snack you know maybe with the religious kind who allah actually i've got you know what i'm going to deal a little later on

uh up with a question on relationships intimacy no not intimacy relationships and black magic and jin and then we can speak about we can look at that then just trying to get through some of these right i can't see your it's just kushkaki had said to me on he had said on here that he'd been sending some um super chats and i've missed them so

i'm just taking a look there it is asana allah you're doing it you're doing it right so the question is fake question do you automatically shorten your prayers four to two when combining prayers i came back from a trip and had passed however i'm already at home and no longer traveling no that's not true you these are two separate matters which can also conquer rather concur so they come they are entirely separable as well so one one may one can

combine praise without shortening it and one can shorten prayers without combining it so but when traveling sure these two will overlap so you will combine praise and shorten them that is the sunnah and that's what the maliki method says the hanafi method says you have to shorten them and the shaft mother says better not to shorten them if just in case you thought everything was clear [Laughter] but now you're probably thinking what should i do obviously you're going to shorten them because because who wants to be

spending more time praying that's what you thought i was going to say because if the prophet shortened them then who are we pretending to be extra pious that's the logic so okay [Music]

what is going on people now right let me just go to some super chats here um there's a chat salia no i've covered that right i've covered that chat as well ibn isa is it permissible to lie to sam harris's support team so that i can get exclusive subscriber only content even though i can afford it [Laughter] do you think sam harris would really mind that's the question [Laughter] i know one thing for sure sam harris

would say it's definitely not a sin [Laughter] and he's and sam harris would say you're definitely not going to go to hell for it that's right salaam traders saying right what's going down what's going down right skeptic 46 has said do selfies believe allah allah allah laid laid la l-a-i-e-d

laid on his back and crossed his legs you know i wouldn't be surprised if they did i wouldn't be surprised um because the salafia are a bit incredibly strange in their beliefs about god they have incredibly anthropomorphic beliefs and so if they find it in a hadith they said something like that they will just accept it so they used to believe that god um

he he will not only sit on his throne but he will make the prophet sit next to him on his throne physically and some of them you know some of these people in the past they were called humbly's in the past they had very strange some of them even said that i'm pretty sure if i recall that god had teeth

honestly it makes sense in it makes sense oh yeah oh oh yeah [Laughter] and the reason they said that is because you see there's a hadith that um that the prophet laughed about something and he laughed until so this in the hadith it begins with somebody something happens and a person laughs and he says do you know why i laughed and they said no

and he says well because the person who told me the companion he laughed excessively when this thing happened and he said that when this had happened in front of the prophet the prophet laughed excessively until you could see his teeth and the prophet said so this is going part of that same narration the prophet said that god laughed in such a way when this incident had happened so based on this the some of the old hanabila believed that also god laughs and because the prophet

laughed in a way because all of them laugh in a way to show the teeth like that so because they keep going back and eventually in this text it says because god laughed like this so they they believed also maybe god's got some teeth as well you know this wasn't the brightest of people writing the creed books like they had the bottom set

you know all the tops that you know like how in desi cultures and these things they want the children to always become doctors doctors engineers this this this and the person who's completely is a failure like there's no hope they say you know what you might as well just become a mulvi send him to the madrasa to become because he you know there's not much hope with this one this mile learning difficulties with this one so similarly all the top top spec they went into philosophy and law and fear and all these other things and the bottom set they ended up like kind of saying okay we mars are going to creed akida

[Laughter] ah your dogmatists so right what is going on right so worthy she she is involved in the uk grooming gangs [Laughter] i don't know were they i where they she i don't know i just know that they were in several of them were muslim i don't know what denomination right so

let's a couple of some people still talking about the muhammad abdul baki you're doing it you're doing it much love for the super chat yeah with these kind of super chats you're embarrassing me right so salaam mufti i recently found your channel and i have greatly increased my love for the dean

live long live long live long live long live this one no good translation all right so i have a question what does allah speak about when mentioning corruption in verses 532 is capital punishment the prescribed um punishment oh are you talking about rather miss miller let's see i believe you're talking about the facade but just to make sure don't wanna misquote

[Music] yep now this a kind of like a declaration of war but here it doesn't mean war it means this whoever is conducting i'm using the islamic term because i'm just going to come to what that means then

they kind of they incessantly strive to spread this uh now it doesn't say i suppose facade can be translated as corruption but saying so these two things that they are punished and it mentions capital punishment as the punishment that they are executed so what does what is this facade that is being spoken of that they are so eagerly trying to spread and what is hiraba now herraba according to many of the fukaha

would be what modern-day terrorism is so it was to strike terror in in the hearts of people now how did people do that in the past obviously today people go detonate a bomb somewhere in the past what did what was equally on that level of terror now it may you know when we hear these these kind of equivalents they don't match up because we think in the past one of the key things was like um these bandits that were like highway robbers of the past

now we may look at that as highway robbers what the hell is that but you see they actually struck terror in the hearts of people because in the past you didn't have like you had set roads that only went to you know you're trying to go to this place there's only this road this one long path that you know people use to get there so as you're going through the desert and things like this and you let's say you're approaching you're not near the city but you could be i don't know a mile off in that day and age so and it's a deserted area and you had these bandits that would

you know be waiting they would apart from just looting the caravan on many occasions they they would do a lot of i mean it was more than just wealth like sometimes they would obviously destroy everything you've got take everything and leave you just stranded now this could be in the middle of a desert no water no anything you don't exactly know sometimes it wasn't that close to the city could have been much further away you've got children sometimes they would take away uh snatch the women um sometimes they may kidnap the children so many people who were enslaved in the past

were enslaved by being kidnapped by bandits many people including many of these great you know scholars sometimes you read about that became uh great you know authors later on like yakut al-hamawi or these great people when they write about how they became enslaved it was usually they were on a caravan going somewhere and these bandits come who rob it and then they may snatch some women if they find them attractive and they would with certain men or certain boys they may enslave them like kidnap them and sell them as slaves so this is what they did and those people that they

left often they would just plunder the thing and you'd be left without water without food in the middle of nowhere so this was the kind of terror the terror that it would strike would be the way i'm just from an experiential perspective if today a bomb went off somewhere the way everybody would be freaked out this is how people were they were that scared of bandits so this is the opinion that many ulama took that this is what you had this is what hiraba was that these people that these people who were

these bandits and yes the punishment for them in that day and age was placed as execution and if you read it it doesn't just say execution it says and it goes on and describes um in detail in other verses as well you'll have and the reason it does that is to strike fear back in their hearts to let them know that you see so it says that yes don't just kill like you decimate them

this is the the the punishment they are decimated where you salabu and you will then hang them up as crucified for people to see what and you will cut off their hands and feet at the ends at the extremities and hang them up like that and then it does mention other alternatives as well so it does say um that oh yunfo min and some people took these as each one of these are layers so for example

that they could be killed or they could be uh um crucified hung up or they could have their extremities cut off or they could be um this this last one is just to be ostracized that they are sent off to some distant land to live and they're stripped of any possessions that they have now this is

this is their punishment in this world and in the afterlife they will have a great punishment this is to the layered approach is subject to the severity that they have conducted so in some cases maybe they just robbed people but they weren't actually going beyond that and so for them they might have just been ostracized and some people may be robbed and and killed and some people you know so they might be in turn killed or had limbs cut off and some people may have kidnapped and tortured and uh and decimated and plundered so for them

you know they may be crucified and so on this obviously wouldn't apply today in that same way and you can watch my video on trajectory hermeneutics and how the sharia mandates that punishments are changed uh with the day and age it's on youtube however this was mentioned to strike back an equal amount of fear that if you were going to be one of those bandits one of those terrorists in that day and age you would think twice before you you know set on set upon such a path i hope that makes sense

rami rami nazim in some languages just means like everybody knows what it means sent in a question what is literally the definition of revised excess or uncertainty but some people say i don't deal with interest others say i don't deal in uncertainty both are ridiculous but they claim the

legitimate definition uh rami please watch my whole video on rebar it goes through the definition linguistic definition and the definition are not the same so linguistically rebar simply means an increase an excess it refers to lone chakri but if you know not every excess is rebar so obviously that's understood so just as you have words in arabic um so let's say tahara bahara cleanliness purity

purification now this linguistically simply means to clean something but means doing wudu or doing russell it does not have a just a normal cleanliness um you know that's not what it means when it uses the word so if somebody said oh yeah you know allah wants us to purify ourselves before we let's say pray i know i'm going to purify myself by you know just washing my face and what i'll do is i'll just use some deodorant and use this and use it's not the linguistic meaning it's the technical meaning

okay cool um i'm really uh a son now i'm really confused just messing truly appreciate you mufti alright right uh preacher mohammed hablas says that a child rapist murder is better than somebody leaving just one prayer uh yeah i mean well what do you expect from hoblos you know

people i people like that i don't know why muslims listen to them but hey you know what it is muslims and religious people generally and muslims are no exception um religious people suffer from a kind of this sense of uh they they have a um a kind of sadomasochistic urge [Laughter] they have this sadomasochistic urge

um in religious matters to feel bad like they want somebody to make them feel guilty they like that you know they they hooked on it they're addicted to it so they listen to people that tell them that they are scum and horrible and you know sinful and god despises them and you know they're going to be punished and tortured in the afterlife and and they kind of you see that they want to feel they want to be made to feel bad and feel guilty because then they i don't know like that you see

they find um that obviously you must fill a void that they have i i feel these are psychological issues this kind of obsession around guilt which is really a very heavily a christian thing but it is found in other cultures and unfortunately it's found amongst many muslims too it is not really from the authentic

right sam harris is the modern leibniz sam harris yeah i mean i haven't heard sam harris for a good while but when i did before he was uh [Music] i mean he's incredibly intelligent incredibly you know he is um i have to say that lecture between the dialogue between sam harris and uh jordan peterson is you know iconic that is just epic i i would feel that that is a must for

anyone that considers faith or philosophy at a serious level that they have to listen to and it's the first one i know they did a series of three but the first one i think it's in vancouver it is wow it is just you know i i must have heard it what a couple of years ago now and he's still with me like amazing and he is absolutely um unquestionably sam harris is a genius but of i just felt in the last few years

i felt he became so bitter against muslims that it kind of poisoned his um his charm you know he became like just so bitter but i don't know if he still is because i haven't really watched much of him in the last maybe one and a half years i haven't really seen much of him but before that i did used to watch quite a few clips that would come up on youtube so yeah all right so right what else people oh yes there's some news i wanted to share

if i just bring up right those of us uh that may know of mufti has passed away he is a mufti from karachi incredibly eccentric and i'll just say a few words on him he's passed away may allah ah forgive him and and bless his afterlife and anybody's really although he would have been somebody who naturally would have probably cursed me during if he was ever

aware of me he was the founder of uh jeremy assanil in karachi now so he uh was very outspoken on on many matters and and that's something i do i admire him about because he he kind of had the courage to speak up at least because many people the truth is many subcontinent scholars especially dc scholars they

are completely lack any self-confidence to be able to even have an opinion they can't even have a single opinion that their teachers haven't had like they're not just not allowed to and it's no different today you know you get all these uh deobandi bravi imams all these people they can't have a single opinion outside of the the narrative so yes if there's a difference of opinion and some of the imams have had opinion a and some of that b they might they're allowed to choose but they can never just go out of and come up with

a totally different opinion they're not allowed to but you know mufti's early like that he did and he was somebody very uh he used to curse people and um here's some clips of him actually recently when hadim hussain rizvisa had passed away you see it was weird because the ubuntis in the subcontinent sum the ubuntu started to praise him including maulana mingle and i'll just show a bit of this and he started to say oh the guy was really

you know he had a heart of steel because he spoke out for the love of the prophet and you know he spoke against people who are gustaf that is people who insult blasphemous now you see i i find this really uh really strange coming from the ubuntiz because in all honesty you guys are gustaf according to them so if you keep supporting brailwi olama who are calling for the execution of gustars

then your guess who's next in line to be executed you know you don't have to be a genius to figure that out it's you you know so this is when people like muttitati and these people uh you know make these stupid remarks where they praise people that have executed blasphe you know people on grounds of blasphemy you know it's so s really it's so infuriatingly ridiculous to listen to but nevertheless here is

a clip from [ __ ]

all right so there you go so surely not somebody i would generally agree with as a person neither with his views and i'm sure he would hate my guts and call me an instant kafir but that said i did admire his courage to be able to have independent opinions which is seldom found in the indian subcontinent

that mocking when i saw that that was just [Laughter] [Music] and that was ironically maulana tariq jamil of writing about him having passed away malana tariq is a very i have to say a very uh good character uh scholar you know somebody who's always is a very compassionate person so he always speaks well of people but yeah

um so what is going on right does the quran say that the christians are the worst of creation does it mean them to naksha bandis follow a no i mean the quran wouldn't say christians are the worst of creation that doesn't make any sense in fact the quran says

that they will be the closest of people who have love and compassion for muslims in that day and age because that they were the closest to arabia so you may find sometimes other communities that are close mufti is it mandatory to go to jummah every friday i have answered this before that look juma is a communal obligation which is uh there's a which has a religious

and a political aspect to it so the question which has led scholars to disagree is which part preponderates is it more the political factor or more the worship ritual factor which preponderates so i would feel that there is a more of a political step to it and by political step what is meant is an organ it's a almost setting into

place an organizational structure so it's so it's known it's disciplinarian for a state a muslim state and that's why they always mention with the names of the rulers and things like this in it therefore in lands which are not muslim lands which are not really is the countries are not islamic i mean they're not against islam like the uk or america or europe i mean i don't believe the uk is against islam and you have your freedom to exercise islam but it is not

it by any means an islamic or it's not muslim country therefore is jummah mandated in this country i would say that it's i don't feel it's mandated i don't feel it's mandatory um but it's good to have it and it's a communal um setup then it's done for the community if each person upon each individual there is not in that case a mandatory obligation to attend uh that would be my understanding um

yeah cool so i'm from the uk alright across the sea from america all right d pakistani fight whatever that means suratoba abrogates every latter ruling okay i'm not sure quoting verses in english is funny uh yeah i mean it can be i suppose if they're misreading them right so

right what is going on let me check as well facebook what's going on what is going on people uh oh no that's siraj replying to athar khan ah great question but do you know two horns thing wasn't specific to alexander also that book was written after the quran i take it you talk about

um can you explain this story with regards to alexander romances alexander's romances [Music] right now i okay alexander sorry the name of the quran in my understanding people go yeah why do you always give your understanding

whose understanding should i give your dads obviously i have to give my understanding [Laughter] all right so in my understanding is most likely cyrus the great yeah people yeah cyrus um i don't think no he definitely wasn't alexander [Music] but cyrus seems to make sense

why why you see you may say so the reason being that one the territory that cyrus the great conquers and rules over i was in two minds that could it have been darius as well who who's from the same um you know the akameeni dynasty but is hmm

but most likely it is cyrus and that's because of um you see it wasn't just the ruling so many people but he did stand for uh several principles of justice which are still incorporated in modern times so you have um if so you will have even today uh i believe it's inc if i just

it's used by several uh let me see that i believe are the first or several articles of the universal declaration of human rights are also based upon

this let me see right anyway oh that's it yep so the cylinder of cyrus right which is known as the edict of cyrus as well and it was um they found this this kind of cylinder kind of tablet which had these inscriptions on there and it contained a declaration that cyrus had made

after conquering uh a babylon and uh so that is you know that that this is obviously um you know 500 something bc before uh you know before christ so now the he was this let me just bring this back this was a declaration that he had made about the preservation of human rights so he was also one of the first people i'm not saying he was the first but amongst the earliest

kind of people who of whom we have records who spoke about actively preserving human rights and he was in a position of power to do so so sometimes philosophers may have spoken of these things but they weren't the rulers they weren't the kings they weren't the dynasts whereas he was the other thing is he also frees the israelites and and supports them financially in the restoration of the temple now this is why the jewish people hold cyrus the great in you know in such high esteemed

praise in the records and books now you have to remember that when surat al-kaff is speaking it is highlighting a dialogue that the jewish people are asking the prophet that yes that they are asking you about the soul they are asking you about this they are asking you about the name so whoever zulker name is he is somebody that the jewish people have are most likely very fond of or very familiar with because they are the ones asking the prophet about him

so to say it's alexander the great doesn't make any sense he wasn't never he was never really in that kind of a position or held fondly by the jews you know so whereas cyrus the great was and he also fits these other descriptions so i feel that that is who's being referred to us yes somebody said it was prophesied in the bible as well yes of course uh

all right so what is going on mufti are muslim men allowed to wear earrings you can just watch my youtube detail video on that i will i cove i've covered it in great detail just watch that uh doing inaudib where is frody i think frowty is on holiday if i'm correct hey mufti alright mahmoud you're doing it with the super chat much love uh what is your reply to people who say

that is haram to throw up this gesture this one right there also my name is mahmoud not muhammad [Laughter] so this gesture you know a lot of people get uh annoyed or not annoyed they get agitated oh my god mufti's thrown up the all this one they see as the devil you know that [Laughter] because the devil has horns obviously how do they know that because their dad has

told him they got a budgie how does the devil look and they are buggers like this [Laughter] got two horns here your insider knowledge so you know look the devil does not have horns okay you know this this is the uh the stupidity is it so because people buy into this then they think oh my god that's the devil sign

because that's the devil [Music] [Laughter] right so it's perfectly fine to make any gestures you want you know it doesn't validate the devil the devil shaytan couldn't care less okay so somehow to think this is somehow empowering the devil you know people need to really learn the deen they need to understand

what the essence of islam truly is it isn't this in the satan isn't this thing that you've pictured so it's perfectly fine that's my reply to those people who say that why do you do this this is the devil sign uh so that's what i'd say it's a hex sign okay sure crocodile dundee you're doing it you do in it all right

all right what's going down you're doing it you're doing it i'm mm-hmm trying to see some aura you do any people you do i do it on purpose to wind people up even more [Laughter] just throw these signs around you're doing it so what is going down right uh stefan had asked a question super chatty shook around much love for the super chat

why was ibn tamiya in jail ibm tamiya was in jail because really he had annoyed a lot of people some of whom were powerful now i'm not saying i agree that because i don't i i believe there should be religious freedoms you know you shouldn't you can't kind of persecute people over religious differences but because ibn tamir went around doing fear on people calling people carefuls and all of this so you have to remember in that day and

age go back 600 years you know if you think today people are narrow-minded can you imagine what they were thinking like 600 years ago and you know you're calling people kaffir kaffir cafe and and ibra mia like i s i've said before he suffered i feel from like mental health issues so he you know he was very he was obviously intelligent and sometimes he was on the ball but sometimes he would kind of flip maybe he had like bipolar or something but he would flip and turn very bitter and nasty towards uh muslims for the most part called them kafirs deviants insult them do all this kind of

stuff so you can imagine you would create a lot of enemies now you have to remember that most muslims now he was humbly he would shield himself by saying well this is my humbly belief i'm allowed to be humbly it's from imam ahmad ibn humble so this would kind of protect him a bit but um you have to remember that humblings are a tiny fraction of this ummah you know they have always been a tiny fraction they've never really you know at most they would be lucky to have been probably five percent [Laughter] because most scholars never even

recognize them as a math hab but okay later on they said all right fine they're a math hab but they've always been a tiny minority of this um so the majority why i'm saying that is so the majority of the people are going to be ashari they might be sufi they might be stuff like this so if the majority of people are like that then the people of power are going to be from those people so the judges the judges were incredibly powerful people back then they're not like judges today the judge back then was like pretty much like a mayor of a council today

you know the mayor that would be involved in local political affairs they would be involved in these they weren't just like today a judge just presides over that particular you know genre of law that's it but in that day and age they were much more involved in the community so he was brought before several judges and uh on certain issues to do with akida belief but in the end they imprisoned him over a stunt that his student had pulled guilty by association

and it was actually some of the malekies that screwed him over in the end and i don't agree with them screwing him over even though they are fellow malikis but i'd be like come on maliki so there was a judge called and other people these are the maliki's who um who said that his behavior was tantam was a crime and what that was you see they used this same thing of like what um uh mawlana khadim hussain rizvisa using blasphemy

the famous you know the go-to card for ulama ah you blaspheme man those who last for you are not nice you know ulta so this so what had happened is right who actually you know these people are very intelligent so for intelligent people they do some you know some dumb stuff sometimes so this is an example of a of a dumb moment

goes on a visit to jerusalem so he goes there and whilst he's in bethel makthis he's in uh masjid al-aqsa or dom of the rock whichever one he's in the masjid he says so they start speaking oh no he's giving a speech so they ask him because he's a scholar they say you know can you give a khutbah so he gets passionate in his hotbar he's getting passionate yeah oh he's getting into it drums and then he says you know whoa nobody should travel to any place you

you should not travel anywhere except to these three mosques and then he and then he in his passion he says you know here in jerusalem you have the so they have they claim that this is where abraham was and the rock is dedicated to um ibrahim al-islam and so he says that this macam here this kind of religious sanctuary for abraham i've refused to visit it he says even though i'm right here i refuse to visit it why because that would be because it's equally

impermissible to go to medina to visit the prophet you can only go to medina to visit the mosque and to visit the prophet is secondary like so it's since you're there you've kind of well you know now that you're here you can visit the prophet but you can't go there with the intention to visit the prophet so if i'm not going to do that then it would be hypocrisy to visit this place dedicated to abraham so this is what he said in his speech you know he got a bit carried away got excited you know blood's running and he's like oh he says this is haram as well

obviously people flipped people like what the hell is this guy on about you know they go what the hell is this guy this guy's disrespecting ibrahim al-islam he's disrespecting the prophet so ibrahim legged it from there anyway he got away they said forget him he's getting this from his teacher catch his teachers so this was the pretext or the excuse on you know based on which they imprisoned um uh hypnotamia so they said because that was ibn tamiya's fatwa that you can't go to

visit the prophet that it's haram to visit the prophet you can only visit the prophet like coincidentally that now uh oh now that i'm here oh blimey i'm here now i haven't yet so this is what i mean he had his you know like kind of like dumb moments so that's what they locked him up over although i disagree with locking people up and stuff like that and i i do feel his opinion is dumb but i don't feel you can punish them over it it's enough of a punishment the fact that they have these dumb opinions

that's like life has beat you to it they're already being punished the fact that they've got dumb opinions that said he did have other good opinions and other good things not to disregard him totally but this was the reason he was locked up cool moving on so right so what is going on somebody said uh can you explain bihari hadith four one three eight acha four one three

i see that that's having a good opinion see this person as uh zee shan he has a good opinion of me you see he thinks like i just have to say to mufti can you explain bukhari hadith 4138 and mufti would go right that's and i'll sorry that's four one three seven four one three eight is that [Laughter] g o g o g o you're doing it you're doing it right now right so meanwhile in other news people whilst we

i had been asked a question about about owning pets okay can all right yep i've been asked a question about is it permissible to own a pet as in biopet and you may wonder why such a question

because there are certain hadith that are in the books which may give that impression now if you take a look at this hadith it's this particular one is from sahih muslim and you can see it right there uh it's being transmitted through abu zubair who obviously is questionable but nevertheless from jabir that the thumbnail kelp was arguably to some a wild cat into some uh you know maybe a cat but really it's more a wild

kind of cat not the domesticated cats that the prophet he forbade uh people from uh getting that and he kind of told him off reprimanded them for it and you've got another uh hadith right here of a similar nature and there's several like this by the way by varying companions and this particular one that you can see right here it mentions uh that the prophet from rafi abner that the prophet islam that the price uh of a that the the money made from a dog

meaning to sell a dog uh is habit is foul and so the mahar the money paid to a prostitute or but the word mahar actually means the dowry for the prostitute is khabib is foul and the kaspal hadjam is foul now the hajjam uh means the person who does hijama bloodletting or copping which is practiced now in these hadith it appears that the prophet is saying that these things are habit or are

you know foul so people have understood this to mean haram right now i just wanted to clarify that that's not the case this is not haram okay to buy a pet is not haram and scholars have clearly highlighted that including several malikis uh you will get sahanun

who highlights that it's permissible now this was all part why such narrations about dogs because there's other narrations where the prophet says beware of such a dog that is like this and it has certain features and then in certain narrations don't keep them in your homes and don't do this this as i've highlighted before was all to do um with the diseases that certain pets or certain animals had like dogs that were infected with rabies and it became indistinguishable

and you weren't sure which dog had it and which didn't it's not like today where people get these things tested and these illnesses like rabies are incredibly fatal so even today despite modern medicine unless treated within a small window even today it is fatal so you can imagine 1400 years ago how fa you know how incredibly dangerous such things were and hence the prophet said if a dog uh licks a bowl of water or a bowl of something that wash

it out seven times and an eighth time with soil and it's interesting how rabies cannot survive in uh in certain things like soil because this such a ruling is not even given for a pig it doesn't say like if a pig licks something or drinks from a bowl you don't have to wash it seven times but the prophet said this so why and it's because of the diseases that they were carrying and hence the prophet said at a particular time to put down dogs where they could find them

but it was not it wasn't a religious ruling it was a ruling based on the the kind of uh the diseases that were going around at that time so similarly here the profit was discouraging people from going to buy more dogs it wasn't a religious ruling okay and these all of these things were like that they were circumsta circumstantial they were not based on a religious uh pretext or premise and an example of that is here is a hadith in bukhari

where you can see um right now that's let me see i'll bring it up but there is a narration sorry that was the same one there is a narration in bukhari that the prophet sallam himself has hijamadan so he has hijama and he pays the person so if that's let me just see if i can bring it up to show it to you guys as

well there it is so all right there it is so you can see that here there is a hadith in bukhari that the prophet

and he paid the person who did the cupping now this is a hadith where ibn abbas is transmitting it that if it was haram then why would the prophet himself have this done and himself pay the person so it was not haram but it was it was dependent it was circumstantial and contingent upon certain factors so yes the prophet did at times discourage bloodletting cupping why especially when people were fasting

or in certain periods when when the community was suffering from a lack of food and sustenance and they had been they didn't have much crops and things like this now bloodletting would just make a person you know just weaken the people and because some people felt it was a cultural thing or you know some people also associate you know like a freshness and even like a good luck to it because of maybe the confidence they get so they do it religiously so let's say they have you know cupping every week or every two weeks done

now or every month done now if the community was suffering from malnutrition and people are already weak but because these people out of habit are going to do it anyway and it's going to further weaken uh that small society it's situations like this that the prophet said that kaspar hadjam is khabib because right now it would be foul because it would just further add to the suffering so these rulings are based on on contingencies they are not absolutes okay it is permissible

to buy a pet or to sell a pet i hope that clarifies that and i did explain as well the ruling as explained by certain scholars i did mention that [Music] imam abu hanifa was also amongst those ulaman i did here is a hanafi source just to show that as well this is

just mentioning those said it was right that it was only the dangerous animal that was forbidden but otherwise abu hanifa does say that look you can benefit by buying and selling dogs okay i hope that helps right let's move on people

yes of course and somebody has mentioned things like uh shepherd dogs and stuff like that sheepdogs of course um those even scholars many scholars historically made that exception but i was saying this unrest unrestricted provided there are no health safety concerns then it is permissible from an islamic perspective

mahmoud again you're doing it mahmoud you're doing it much love for the super chat do you think reason is something humans learn or is it instinctive i feel that it is something instinctive however we throughout our lives i feel that we sharpen our ability out to reason so it is something that is natural to human beings i don't think it's

so a human being is born without it just seeing i just felt that yep so i don't it's not um it's not a socialization process okay it is not nurture but it is perhaps both nature and nurture so we have it but we enhance it and develop it further um throughout life that's my

there was somebody saying any artwork phrases no but speaking about that i did let me see can i on momento momento momentico let me see can i bring up i did have i came across a clip that i found hilarious let me see if i can get it bring it up here i didn't store it but it should be close by

a moment no uh there it is you know with all these people into utter girl now i'm not into it but here there was a a clip odd scene that was uh what there we go it was dubbed in punjabi and i found it so hilarious so if i can find what's going on i just brought it up and still

mm-hmm where did it go urtical there is let's see [Music]

[Music] one moment [Music] [Music]

[Music] mmm [Laughter] i just saw that actually the other day i just couldn't stop laughing right so where are we at people where we at what's going down let me check with some of the facebook

uh questions as well all right there you are people somebody said that yep the those women look like the amazigh alright so is everything played okay just checking right so people waltz before we move on to some of the other topics let me just check all right

all right there was actually a little perfume i wanted to review actually people i got this sample well you can't probably look at it it's tom jackson i actually thought it was called i thought it might have been something like you know i think if they gave her a name like tom dassault it would have probably worked out better but this is a an english i believe it's an english company this is called

iridium so i thought let me give this a little try so it came through it's you can't actually you know i tried finding quite a few reviews for it online and i couldn't it's something which very few people have reviewed then i found one or two odd reviews and i saw that uh an interview with the act with tom jackson himself about the brand and really in all honesty he it was uh i just thought it was a pathetic kind of pitch because he just undersold the whole thing

made it seem very um you know just unappealing even though it's meant to be a niche brand that's something uh slightly higher-hitting than your average designer uh so the average kind of givenchy or i don't know whatever you're into dior this would be the average one slightly above that if not maybe with the best of them on par but generally above that so maybe you know i don't know i'm assuming uh if i recall correctly i think a bottle would be about 130 140 pounds something like that

so and it was so undersold by the by the designer himself not selling it at all and i thought that is such a pathetic sales pitch so it's uh they've described as all the powdery sophistic sophistic sophistication of iris with a strong silvery spine and that's exactly the words he uses in his interview as well and it's got juniper and you see carrot seed right but one of the things that definitely stands out

is a cedar wood so you get that cedarwood kind of fragrance you get vetiver definitely i put some on earlier on today it's probably been um probably been several hours now maybe about eight hours or something and it's still there very faint uh very it's got a soft a presence to it at this stage but when you open it up

it's not very hard hitting its projection is quite low um doesn't have much search you know the trail however you can definitely see the uh feel that cedarwood rising pretty much you know pretty soon into it like straight aw within seconds and that's really the smell that dominates that cedar wood it is a um it is actually a pleasant amount of cedarwood it's not overwhelming and the vetiver

definitely makes a nice kind of combination with it it kind of gels well with it i would say yeah it's definitely i i do like it and i can see that look it's been on for several hours and it develops into something a bit softer almost as though it's got a touch of vanilla or something in it i'm not sure if they have but it seems to have that feel to it but i don't know if it's worth that price to be honest the um i wouldn't really but i would definitely i'd probably grade it maybe about

i don't know probably give it about a uh just about stretching towards a seven out of ten and that's being generous with it really so it's good but i don't think it's worth that kind of price that it's being sold for alright people that was for the fragrance fanatics out there you're doing it you're doing it right people now we have um i did want to speak about

just checking some notes that just in case there were certain things i'm forgetting right i'd come across a video clip but i'd come across so the first question we're going to be doing uh nope not again so let me just see about relationships and

i think it was initially it was a social media story some girl speaking about her marriage and then how it all goes downhill so let's take a quick look [Music]

as you can see [Music] romance [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

so you can see from there people that let me just so you can see from there that this girl who her relationship clearly wasn't working out after it was brilliant um and then she realizes that the divorce um you know much after that what it really came down to was magic [Laughter]

now you see this is uh this is the issue we have to understand that look relationships are based on many factors many crucial factors amongst them character personality interaction skills like how people interact with other people also keeping in mind

and this just comes down to luck as well circumstances because a lot of people you have to remember that they you see they may be very uh they may be very decent but their circumstances may prevent them from having a successful relationship so as an example let's say somebody uh can't find work now because of this uh they will now struggle to make payments which leads to you know altercations maybe not being able to uh get certain shoppings go on certain holidays or go

out or do certain things they've got strains these strains have been brought onto the relationship by by our external factors maybe themselves the decent people the other spouse is a decent person and their interaction is is great as well however just luck you know did not favor them if we you know not to sound superstitious but if you catch my drift it's and sometimes it could be other things like people they live with families they live within laws and they live with that's definitely a big uh a huge

kind of uh this is [Music] [Laughter] that same video bringing the sad music in so yeah now what does this mean right what it means is it's just life that's exactly what it is it is not you know some somebody's done a magic spell on you if you are having problems at work or in your relationship

at home with yourself with health it is not because somebody sitting some way is casting a magic spell on you that is 100 not what is happening i can tell you that what it what what it is is that something a factor is playing up you need to address that factor if you can in some time in some scenarios you can't you know it may just be uh you know it may just be

inevitable but it is what it is it's life so you can't but to fall into this oh i you know later on we got a diagnosis a spiritual diagnosis by an imam by an amil who said oh i figured it out what it was was a gin what it was was a magic spell somebody uh did this to you you know somebody who hates you you know so can you think of somebody oh somebody close to you but is jealous of you and then everybody's like oh i know who it is

but this is actually on such a widespread problem with the muslim communities that unfortunately that they just you know it's so easy for them to it's so gullible when it comes to this point that oh you know somebody that's jealous of me has done a magic spell on me [Laughter] you know you get this honestly you get it with uh many and somebody had asked earlier on about the question about the the sacks with the gins but that's another department that you get people

oh you know they can't perform the sacks because the gin and the magic somebody [Laughter] somebody's done a magic spell they're like they're like look uh i'm i'm gifting you special abilities today yeah so for the next you have one wish you can what would you like it to be let me guess is it that i want all the gold in a particular reserve to come no no no no is it i want so much x amount of bitcoin

to come no no no no is it money no i want to become famous no no no no is it i want all the luxuries of the world no no no no is it no no no no is it books knowledge no no no no no what is it what is that one magical supernatural uh wish of yours to be your command to execute what is that i want him to lose his erection

that this is how dumb it gets like come on if people had such magical powers don't you think they would use them on something that would uh at least you know something incredible rather than saying i know uh what i want to use it on is [Laughter] so yeah so my advice people is that look stay well away from all this kind of stuff please it really is nothing but a misery cool

and speaking of people uh being alhamdulillah people being miserable right i recently had i had oh right before i get to that sorry i almost forgot those of you that have asked me previously i've spoken about uh bro [ __ ] all right who i actually like and i get on with bro [ __ ] has been accused

that where does he get his knowledge from that you know who is behind bro [ __ ] to the extent people that they assume i am one of the people let me see if i can uh on momento and momento all right

[Music] but there was a a a post made with people were asking who is behind bro [ __ ] how does he get his knowledge so the so what they had put up was that it's one of the people and i thought i just wanted to share it out if i can yep here it is so this you see people go to this extent i was so surprised considering

how different uh our views are you would not expect see so there is you can see uh people saying i wonder who's behind bro [ __ ] who is who could it be this one this one so if we so they put it down to who could this be is he a puppy what's going on what's and then they say these are the people potentially who

may be behind him is it yes or is it or is it muhammad hijab this honestly the conspiracy theories going on within the muslim scene are so crazy right people let's move on i'm going to

muftibu lathe what about the hadith right okay i can't see that full question but yeah that would make an interesting uh trio muhammad hijab and then me all behind uh bro [ __ ] [Laughter] right let's before no forget let's move on to taking some questions then we gotta wrap this up let me

people first of all address some of the questions put forward by the patreon sitos that they'd listed he's

asking what is a sin and should sins have a reason behind them as in you know are they stipulated based upon a particular welfare and the answer is of course uh sins in essence are those things that allah has forbidden and they are usually things which violate the uh the five which are known as the at the five essentials which would be the faith life

that violate reason or the intellect or wealth now you'll find these things are usually stipulated as a sin um right okay next imad uh you're doing it you're doing it hope you and your family are well shukran love from bangalore india hindustani you're to say i've become an admirer of your thoughts and ideas about islam um alright you're doing it i need your help in understanding the concept of

i'm very confused with this the traditional understanding does seem to read indirect or in some cases direct shirk why would allah have a concept like this which would allow the people to indirectly venerate the intercessor or become grateful to the intercessor other than him some of the ayat of the quran also add to this confusion where he's saying that all shafa is only with him except the one he allows um quite puzzled with this idea doesn't seem consistent or the standard understanding of the word shifter i itself is wrong to begin with

best regards that is a very uh intricate question ahmad indeed you're doing it you're doing it with the questioning i've got to say that you see now when allah says that there's none that he allows except those whom he chooses see once again that's just a reinforcement of saying it's him it's allah that is ultimately the one making the decision that's what it's

reinforcing that idea it's not trying to reinforce an idea that you should venerate other people however it does give people hope to extend their loyalties you see many people [Music] as believers especially the early community and even now they have a loyalty to who has given them that faith so in our case the prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam they have this loyalty to him and they see him as this great figure and it gives them some

ease of mind thinking that look um oh that you know that this person who is chosen by god is on my side is to help me with god now it's true that allah himself is the most compassionate but why then allow this view of of being given aid by someone like in saying that well you know he's on my side it's really just it's too

it's to cater for that for that human sense of affiliation and loyalty that's what it is so because this does tie into a fundamental human need and that is the need of belonging like humans have a and even other creatures by extension have a fundamental need to belong now belonging to this faith with the prophet as its leader and the loyalty that one

professes to the prophet to be met then with some comfort that this prophet equally vow vouches for you especially those people who met the prophet obviously and us by extension who haven't met him it does consolidate that faith in a at a conceptual level okay it's not to kind of say oh start worshiping the prophet or something it's not to extend that so i hope that makes some sense although that is a indeed a uh an amazing question

not many people have analyzed this from that perspective you're doing it you're doing it i'm 28. do you think it's too late for me to try to do hif um i'm looking at doing tafsir reading myself while study quran whilst i study the quran more in detail is there a tafsir you would recommend thank you and keep doing what you do shukran nisar right now i don't think it's too late to do hif if you want to do hif and you're prepared to do it then by all means it is a mission isn't

it it's an objective some people say well if you do it you know oh you should be worried about the sin that if you forget it or if this happens or that happens i would say that is absolutely the wrong way of going about that's just ridiculous you know if you want to do it think of it as something amazing that you're embarking on if you're learning arabic at the same time that definitely helps with memorizing the quran and the quran will then help with your arabic so it kind of there's this inter interlocking reinforcement now but it's entirely up to

you as to tafsir see with english i don't really know once again what could be at the seat i think the study quran should be good i haven't read it myself but i have taken a look at some parts of it um it would definitely i'm pretty sure it would be it would be good right can you uh it is your do and it can you clarify your opinion on tabari and his work you previously mentioned he was like the tiberius of the muslim ummah

in the video of the prophet's marriage to zainab somebody tiberius you see i am like 70 percent sure put it like that that uh was a shia but he he he was kind of like a closet shia now there's nothing wrong with being a shia per se uh you know people are sunni or shia but you see i feel that he

surreptitiously was aiding the shia creed within sunni thought so and and this is why you know he includes a unfathomable amount of narrations from hard-line shia narrators and he brings he doesn't just bring he floods the sunni channel with so much shia um you know so many shia sources that it that much of it becomes indistinguishable

by later and it's and it's taken up by sunni um by the sunni audience to you see the the the reason why i don't obviously that's why i was referring to him as the tiberius in the sense that he just he kind of caused a lot of problems for what we have that it's and i think sunnis just shied away from it and said that nana he wasn't shia he was sunni um and that's a different tabari

there's another one with the exact same name exact same parent's name exact same kunya but his granddad's name was different and the funny thing is apparently that rustum that they say ibn rustam was the name of the great grandfather of this tabari but went before becoming a muslim so yeah and so this is why i've just found it quite amusing i mean i don't have any hatred or anything for imam tabari i just feel that he um definitely caused a lot of confusion and i i don't think he

innocently caused it i think he caused it uh knowingly what knowing what he was doing like he wasn't he he engineered it to be like that and it was quite successful because he he kept the sunni cloak but then he flooded his narrations especially in his tariq with all these sheer narrations and and other things as well just causing confusion sometimes and transmitting stuff and i don't know what he was thinking when he's confused transmitting some of the things he was transmitting it's like you know satanic verses and other things and i i don't get it but he obviously must have had some plan so the sunni

response is oh no he didn't have a plan he was just you know what he was just innocently creating an encyclopedia for people to say hey you sift through it [Laughter] i innocent i think he definitely knew what he was doing but i just don't fully understand what that plan was like why was he bringing these narrations and putting them and was it just simply to say hey i know these narrations but then in all honesty nobody really

cares whether you knew them or not it's not her because he wasn't of that status he was much later i don't know that's my thoughts anyway see uh you're doing it you're doing it siad says how would you answer children who ask their parents if they have committed certain sins uh when the parents were younger children from ages of six and up be totally honest honest but only what's age appropriate lie until they reach maturity and then tell them any others if children ask you what sins you've committed uh don't be telling your children what

sins you've committed that's i wouldn't i mean that's a silly i think and plus children are very conniving very very naughty children will forever children and i think i think children and in that department you know this department of all of a sudden developing a imam bukhari memory that's going to be children and women [Laughter] when you've when you express something that you've done wrong that stuff will never be erased okay the everything else could be forgotten the whole entire heap

they could forget they have they could forget they could forget every single i don't know thing they've learnt in life but they will remember this and children will remember it as well you know if you've done something wrong say ah but you did this this this [Laughter] and women as well will remember that oh but if my memory serves me correct haddathani [Laughter] so this one be very careful you know right

so i'm just praising the good memory that they have [Laughter] all right so can you elaborate what is meant by the saved sect and it's all you do when it much love 72 sec this hadith is uh not a sahih hadith okay and people like uh uh sorry yes and if nah has them these people have you know criticized and torn apart this hadith as inauthentic

right what is going down majid said facts must be facts see matches you can tell somebody's been hurt by that [Laughter] he probably decided to pull his heart out someday and the other person thinking of church pouring heart out mental note mate did this wrong did this confess he you know that one where people say trust me i'm not going to hold this against you just [Laughter]

or if a woman ever asks you that uh is there anything uh that is uh you know is there anything that's what is it that you find what's the word to say so what do you find wrong with me or something let's say god if ever expressed like this or in its extreme form if they said anything that you find bad looking about me like ugly about me

just be honest be honest for that you know the whole of the the male race would be looking at you like saying and you're probably thinking oh i really love the transparency the the kind of dialogue we've got going on right now i i really like this vibe and you're about to open up and the whole of the male humanity would be like

ah for the love of that life that you have never never go down that this road very dark dark none none come back alive from that road say wrong ugly what could they be what could be possibly ugly about this divine beauty [Laughter] and you shall live a prosperous life people

some advice to my fellow viewers right so what is going [Laughter] that's a lose-lose situation exactly but trust me i've known some people to have fallen victim to it and you think huh no you didn't you didn't [Laughter] ah but they did so right people did that happen to you hell no do i look like that

do i look that gullible so no no no no this one slightly more experienced than that you know so people now we've gone on way too long we have to go to our below-ed people are below it so moving to the moment all right the masala segment people the masala so as you all know right there's we discussed last week

we discussed last week if you recall uh that what's this what's this uh interesting craze that recently the salafia have embarked upon where zakir naiksab all of a sudden had his enlightenment and said that look uh the

issan this on haram you know so no sooner had we spoken about that then our own so the first question we're going to be is the permissibility of self-stimulation or you're teasing us self-stimulation let's go back let's go back to this question with yasir call the people pay attention

not you first question we're going to be doing is uh the permissibility of self-stimulation or masturbation is it permissible in islam or is this act sinful speaking uh the majority of scholars the majority of men have viewed masturbation as being haram or sinful uh and they base this on the fact that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forbids all sexual activity except with one's spouse and allah says in the quran that uh uh whoever

that allah praises those who protect their private parts except allah says in the quran except with their spouses or their right hand possessions uh whoever is within this confines they are uh they are that is permissible however some of the scholars of the past they did consider it to be and others considered to be mubarak so there are uh three primary positions in this so that he avoids the the bigger sin of actual zina of actual uh intercourse that is uh haram and he also mentions very explicitly that the same ruling applies for a woman

that a woman can also resort to this if there is a fear of falling into zina and there are a number of reports from the sahaba and tabirun that indicate that this position was found amongst them as well a man came to ibn abbas uh the cousin of the process of a young man came to ibn abbas and he mentioned that uh you know he's not you know married and that he uh basically stimulates himself until he ejaculates

to him what you are doing is better than committing zina but if you were to marry a slave girl that is even better than what you are doing now and of course evan has an entire section on this as well the famous scholar vandals as i mentioned and he mentions ibn hesse mentions that uh it is allowed to touch one's organ even if with the left hand it is allowed to touch one's organ and it is self-stimulation is not natural despite what psychologists might say it is not the norm and that is why the default is the default is that there is a sense of shame and a sense of regret

uh when somebody does this even if you're not a muslim you know they are uh they are looking to get married and making dua to allah to help us to get married and we also understand that uh even if the act is permissible and i do believe that there's no sin in doing it the default is that it is means it's better not to do so the default is that as ibn hazard says not from the nobility of deeds [Laughter] see so no sunnah had we spoken about zakir naik that yasir khadi does

a q a on intimacy issues and he too comes out me too me too hashtag me too and he says well actually um it's not haram it's not a sin uh it's just not from the nobility rather and the left hand i think you're easy is that for us left-handers as well did he is he taking us into consideration ah

felt a great sense of relief i was like a cha-cha-cha left-handers we haven't been left out of this [Laughter] so it's not haram it's uh it's just not from the noble class oh the nobility do not self-stimulate rather they have their maids who come and stimulate them

unless of course you got slave girls from so it's interesting how even shaykh assad has now come out and said this is not haram you see now but it comes back to that point doesn't it because people would say oh you know why this one

[Music] that's actually a song so this that's here daddy why that's actually a song that's actually song so the reason is that look these people for decades have been guilt-tripping so many muslims making them feel burdened by sin telling

them they're gonna be punished by the hell fire telling them they're gonna go to hell telling them god will you know it's going to ruin their relationships they're going to do this whilst i bet you many of them secretly themselves believed it was okay and cello whether they practice or not or this one this one sorry it's not from the nobility [Music] not from the self stimulate stimulate stimulate come on come on come on stimulate people oh yeah right it's not stimulating don't

self-stick but you see to other people they would say oh you're going to go to hell you're going to go to hell you are this is haram allah is going to punish you adam so the question is but all these people who've been suffering you know what how is this justified for them you know now all of a sudden you just come out and you say well actually it's not a sin i mean

[Music] did revelation come down overnight or did uh did everything just change did hell fire temperature go down you know in hell fire are these are and these people you see they would proper obviously say about me that i'm spreading all these kind of rulings i'm making people corrupt uh this is what they would say and but yet it's them like when you look at them they they themselves have now come out and said well actually just one moment i was just looking if i

had this no there was a i want to share this no no no no right so no it's not here right so but so this is my issue this is why i when i see these things i think um at least you should come out and apologize you should at least say look i want to say i apologize to all those muslims who i've you know who you know i may have misinformed over the years i now realize because look

him quoting ibn hazm which by the way i quoted years ago they knew what ibn hazmat to say him quoting the humbly method of saying that oh this is permissible he they knew that years ago no new information has come to them it's just that now they've realized they can get away with it by saying it publicly so you see my point now about the two-faced thing about the hypocrisy in these circles that behind closed doors i've told you before behind closed doors most of these imams don't believe in half of what they preach

they just do this because they expect because this is what the public you see it's like this vicious circle they think the public need them to say this because if they say something different they're going to get rejected so they say the public hear them say and it reinforces that vicious circle so the public think of course and now the public expects them and it's this kind of this loop that they're trapped in but yeah so i was just like wow okay because first of all zakir naik he's had this revelation

and i'm thinking does he only why is wahi coming to all these ex-selfies but then i realized oh i've already been enlightened i'm ahead of the curve it's these guys trying to catch up so yeah so this is uh this is why i had to speak on that um it's not because i'm

after fixated on our beloved it's just that i thought you know what hmm that why why why wife was so long make people feel guilty and then only to say i are don't do it yeah don't do it man not the noble class [Laughter] the noble

the nobility juan does not peruse self-stimulation that's to just say that i mean come on that's uh that deserves a you know that's what it is people people we gotta wrap this up you know it's been epic as always now that we're all super excited that it's not just

many more and more selfie scholars are coming out giving these uh glad tidings so i've got something to rejoice about people but other than that it's got very late i'm gonna leave you to it have an awesome evening wherever you are um if you haven't already people liked subscribed then then instead of you know instead of sharing these fatwas i should just share the haram haram self stimulation [Laughter] all right people there you go subscribe we've gone over

to uh now the subscribers are rising you know rising this one see the more subscribers uh we get people the more people will be willing to engage okay because they'll think well you know okay there's a lot of you know people that will watch this or listen to this they have to kind of take your point into consideration they can't just lock you out so even though many people thought [Laughter] yeah yeah harambees many people they did

think that they could lock me out but uh this one is so that's uh that's an epic poem by uh ahmed faraz that just the way you have you have lived or spent your life zindagi is

cannot be lived in that way though so people till next time take very good care of yourselves here's the final page coming out and i don't know right and miss battery on sito's patreons much love to you as always right take very good care of yourselves home
