what's the is it so not to be on time now being on time is a posting dost released concept which is really kind of promoted to to kind of monetize time people that's what it is really to ensure the production of certain things don't worry bad I'm on time but I'm on
my own time you know in Arabic this is saying there's a methyl bill arabiya in Arabic which states especially to the west if you like I mean that commissar in the non what so you guys have watches and clocks and we have time that is so true you know in the Arab in the in the Muslim world we've just got time nope.avi you guys have got all the watches that's what the the method says
Elizabeth Alamos Alan Alan Alan welcome marhaban bienvenidos right we've got rowdy properly Claire John says yes Pakistan time yes it's it's unfortunate it's in our DNA oh it's in my DNA in don't know about all of Peggy's a lot of Pakistan but from the UAE s Alam Alamo silent Shihab sob you doing I am doing anything my solicitor and my lawyers have told me don't own up to
doing anything so I just follow that principle I follow it like Quran was Sunna never admit to anything you could always stay safe that way always have plausible deniability right so what's going on people what is preoccupying the minds of the beautiful people out there or you Facebook friends students family what is going on what is going on so anything
interesting but before we am also going to open up the the questions as well that have already been submitted somebody said what if big shout out for him there you go there you go Ibrahim Amir saying no face no case that's if you're sending those dodgy dodgy in naughty naughty [Music] right so why did you choose Maliki [ __ ]
why did I choose Maliki [ __ ] Maliki [ __ ] people let's start off with this walls people are tuning in Maliki fit okay so first of all for for our less expertise sorry for our less expert viewers v simple effect not in case you're thinking war on earth is move this up buh-buh-bah what the thick in fact that some of the
Arabs read it as [ __ ] but the Hutt's I disagree with their pronunciation they actually do say that you're gonna hear some of the [ __ ] aha like some of the scholars they like really big beards and everything and in between there let's go you know the [ __ ] the [ __ ] the [ __ ] you like ma che no no need for that language mate I only asked an Islamic question no need for that but they actually pronounced it focus some of the the Arabs today today as in in this day and
age so not but in traditional thick it's called back with a kisara okay not with a dama dama sorted so and the [ __ ] right what is fit so v is basically our understanding of Islam sorry let me rephrase that it's our understanding of what is kind of expected from us okay towards God or towards people so that is
called [ __ ] some it is partially synonymous with Sharia so Sharia people tend to reserved only for the legal aspects and that is more generic so it includes the legal aspect and the non-legal like worship and other things as well so FERC is you know this is our MooMoo sauce that's the relationship that's going on between sherry Ann fell so thick and then with in fact you have different ways of looking at things are
interpreting extracting Islamic law how do we understand rulings and everybody you know they've got their own take on it and then people kind of disappeared and these four major schools of law remained I say for because I'm being kind to the humble eased it there let's make that my humble ease the the little finger there you go the humbly right there that's that's about right now the four because that's like the humbly contribution to Islamic
fit so now I'm being fair right so that's like obviously the the to list is like the Maliki method but I don't want to put if up if I bring these fingers down this one get offensive you know this one up nice so that's me representing the schools of islamic law there's our little [ __ ] midget' mess up humbly madam is like a [ __ ] mother
so you've got these so you got the hanafis you got the Maliki school you got the chef a school and you got the humbly school down there so these are the ones that have carried on I mean there were so many schools of law you know in the tens if not one could argue in the hundreds but so this is what's continued the school the Maliki method is known as the school of Medina it is the most awesome school of law there ever is because it is built upon welfare and firmly rooted in evidence it is known as the school of Medina people the
school of em there you go em school of Medina right now somebody said why am i Maliki I never chose the Maliki method the Maliki math have chose me Allah the school of Medina chose me before now it's just because it made it made so much sense to to follow the school of Medina what are the school in Medina
hi hi hi look at the child people the chai so those of you that and you can follow any school of law most Asians indo-pak people happen to be Hanafy as was i as in growing up and but then you know you come to your senses now to be fair imam abu hanifa was an absolute legend but the problem is his school if i'm to be fair in my assessment his school has been long hijacked and his school is the antithesis of him it's such a control
freak school today everybody like you know if you've got like control freak kind of like a like a syndrome you suffer from that then the Hanafy method makes sense for you so it's all about just controlling control i have the control the control so that's what the [Music] that's what these methods are and the Maliki method is obviously the super cool method people it's the one that ruled Muslim Spain as well I mean it was one of the most widespread methods
throughout the world much more diverse than any other school of law including the Hanafi school so as in its diasporic okay the way it was kind of spread out the school was in all of the different continents and it was also something that was the major continents and it was all so it wasn't just there's in people were Maliki so Muslims in in Spain for seven hundred years at least were probably Maliki now it wasn't just that they were Maliki but they were key
figures they will keep players not not of those players here probably those players as well but they were but they were key players in the middle so they contributed they were never shunned by each other so the school became a really rich resourceful school right so let's move on to another question the amount of somebody said the amount of questions flying by as usual clear John said well I let me see what I can see Salaam Musti sir my alaikum as-salaam what's your advice on 1/2 is to maintain the memorization well you can just read
as much as you can there you go I mean if you try to read with understanding that helps did you watch the Satanic Verses 30 years on right ok is it sinful to stand up and urinate is it it is is it sometimes hard in public what the hell what yeah control yeah are you what are these questions let me let me get this um must be miss reading this question where the hell did it go is it sometimes hard it
is sometimes hard in public toilets as they are very dirty I thought what kind of a confession is this a static kahiko shamanaka hey what are you embarrassing everybody on this on this life Bilal Hussein is it sinful to stand up and you Renee Oh forgive me Father for I have sinned what have you done I needed to take a leak is there something you human aging
on me I'm just trying to understand the sing a wisest thing how many scoring it's gotta go out obviously can't just keep building it up all the fluid yeah so it's absolutely fine don't worry about it relieve yourself don't worry about it man it's all good it's all good there's nothing the only reason why some people spoke against this standing up and taking a slash that would just be was simply because of the kind of clothing that they wore and there was a
great chance that it would you would get a splash back not like a full blast not like you go okay I'm just about to relieve myself and come straight back at you full speed not like that but there was a chance that it you would get certain splashes maybe on your clothes and things like that so this is why the scholars didn't like that that said it's perfectly fine it's fine don't worry don't worry I know the hanafis are a bit weird on that Hanafy
school of law but I don't worry about them they're it's not like the first time they're being weird and you gotta remember that you see you know in certain clothing it's easy to sit down and urinate so let's say you're wearing a sarong like the kind of the potty that they were there is a czar or DeLonghi as some people call it now wearing a lungi along he is actually even different but it's still easy because the longi is like I think it's in Bangladesh and some parts of India and other countries like Malaysia but the lung he is like a fully
tied so you kind of step into it and then wrap it round whereas the these are or the thoughthey that they have in Pakistan that they used to be oh these are that they were wore in Arabia ancient Arabia is like a sarong like that so it's just like an open class that you just tie around you now you can imagine if you're walking around in that if you're walking around commando [Laughter] [Music] people were back then you know when one men were men in that day and age if you're walking around and you need to go
to the toilet you're not going to really just lift up your sarong and go so it's very convenient for you to just sit down it's very convenient to sit down and do what you have to do it's much more convenient than actually trying to raise you because if you try to raise you're actually with a thottie you could probably you know with the asari is our you can probably do it but still it's actually you know you much more easier to just sit down and do that
but now if and even with the shalwar kameez it's actually because the shalwar that they were in pakistan for example it's actually very large it has what they call the Nara the Nara is like like a belt feature right so it actually brings it makes it look tight so the shalwar which looks baggy is actually very if you if you stretch it out it opens really far so it's very convenient to still sit down and you know if you need to relieve yourself relieve oneself but you see with the trousers how on earth could you sit down
in public I mean unless you took the trousers off so people are not gonna do that especially you go remember in the past they never had these kind of public toilets like this so and you never had like bathrooms the way they designed so obviously for guys walking in a park and he thinks oh I need a leak so he's hot and just hang it on the branch yeah all that to sit down it's
too much you know this on so because of that it's so there's no problem associating there's no sin no mortal sin people no sin at all relax relax so what else is going on oh so I hope I've answered that whoa quite a few questions
right okay the questions are back up okay abnormal Sandlin just connect carrier bag interview with video vids of course of course meet of it's great guy and I'm looking forward to inshallah linking up with him some point soon and we haven't said anything in motion I'm just saying that in response to the question and I'm sure I'll get some of the guys to reach out to him inshaallah is MJ guilty Michael Jackson guilty hmm I don't know you know because I know during his lifetime he
was acquitted in the cases I I don't know I think Michael Jackson was just weird like just dead weird maybe he what I don't know maybe he wasn't what you know my pedophile I don't know maybe he was I haven't looked at all the evidences but I just think he was weird by normal people standards so to normal people think that the stuff like he had this kind of thing like where he would openly say because I remember watching an interview all these ages ago this is when he was alive and going through the whole trial where he would say yes I would have I have kids
staying over all the time we sleep in the same bed but what's wrong with that and Andy and he's very open about this he's not like cuz that's the thing I suppose you know Peter Falls had probably tried to hide all of that but he was saying it's so confident so confidently like yeah of course you know we sleep on the same bed and we do this and what's wrong with that and you know they're my friends and oh you know I'm a child myself and I so I don't know if he was up to something god forbid I hope he wasn't but I mean I think he was just he definitely was just
weird by normal people standard and to normal people we would definitely just think something is dodgy because that's not normal for like a grown man to be just get sleeping with other people's kids as in on the same bed and having them do sleepovers and and they would stay with him but that said in the documentary I watched over a decade ago whenever it was it was a long time ago in that the parents were well aware they used to receive gifts from him they used to receive brand-new cars and all sorts and I don't know I don't know man what what is the world
coming to right so right so okay guys this reminds me before I go on a serious moment I'd like you to I just heard actually today about stars nominally fun his sister had passed away and she just passed away today I believe I just heard this today and so I'm assuming it was speaking about today unless it was yesterday I heard she fought and struggled with
with cancer and then eventually passed you know may Allah grant her an elevated my arm in genital fair dose may he make things easy for her family that she's left behind here one can only can't even really if I'm gonna be honest can't him and truly imagine the kind of grief and the shock that that would cause to even if it was a like a time consuming battle even if she was going through a sickness but
still the the shock that that and and I suppose the void that it would leave so may Allah make things easy for her family I mean I mean also our praise and doors are with them and likewise anybody that's going through these kinds of struggles you know if I'm to be honest these things sound so scary you know I now share my own kind of what's that I feel it's something so they freaks the hell out of me these
kind of the thought just the thought of these kind of illnesses or these kind of because wrong like because it's it's movie it's more the situation of helplessness because I suppose and even though there are in many of these things there are you know some there are success stories where people you know there is a kind of a fight against things like cancer and other illnesses and there are many success stories but
still just the very thought of them its I'll be honest very to me as an individual the thought of them it's very terrifying you know I my daughters are with anybody and everybody who and their families that that are going through these things because there's nothing they can do beyond I suppose the doctors are doing what they can do but there's nothing a person can do and I think that is the you know for in son I think the worst situation is helplessness I think that
to me that is worse than death you see like I would rather like if I had to go I would rather just go in an instant honestly like I had a discussion once with some friends and we disagreed actually surprisingly I thought everybody would think like me but they don't and then maybe I'm thinking weirdly I don't know but we had a discussion wants a group of friends and I and about imagine you had a choice that you would because everybody at some point goes from this dunya that if you
had a choice would you rather be told that you have six months let's say or would you rather go in an instant so I said unquestionably I would rather just going an instant I would rather just at most a few seconds please that's it like I would rather just be like that like over and done with like I wouldn't the thought that kind of helplessness of something is so tragic to me as an individual it's so debilitating that all that and that's just the way I as an
individual think there are no there were people you know good friends of mine disagreeing with me on this saying they would like you know they would actually rather have so many months and and put things in order and I understand that I understand that but I'm just saying that and everybody thinks differently but to somebody like me the helplessness of something is so like I would rather just be as I am and then just gone you understand like that like that's just me as an individual but I don't know I mean
it's it's it's a scary you know it's scary I found to be honest the thought of death is scary what scary is it's not you know I'm not I'm not so you know it's not about like punishment and things like this that scare me as an individual you know like people say all the punishment of the grave all the things because I think with time my belief or perception perception perhaps of a lot of God kind
of evolved I see I don't see Allah as somebody obsessed with punishing or with doing things like this or I don't know that's just where I stand in in time right now I don't my relationship with God isn't one like that and I'm not saying that is the right relationship but it's just my relationship right now isn't one of necessarily fear but it's just you know it's is I suppose it's the you see because it's it's the unknown to me and it's the
fact that it's the cessation the ceasing to be you know like you like this world everything it's it's really just stemming like from here like the perception of everything our understanding and it's just to stop you know and it's and it's a scary thought I'm not gonna lie I'm not gonna be you know pretend to be one of these no people say oh you know it doesn't it's not daunting it's not like this it is it is an it is scary I don't
it's and then sometimes you know it's weird because this journey of life is sometimes it has an existential angst you know insanity is never content because sometimes a person you have an existential kind of hanks twith in this world this kind of like almost a yearning or and sometimes you can have a fed-up kind of feeling as well that you just fed up and you're thinking of just you know this world what is and and i I think all of these things are normal I think
but yes I'm so sometimes this what I'm trying to say is there's a contradiction sometimes a person does get fed up I think of this kind of dunya of just things and you know it's like that old poem that you have of in the mall a pathway says he says Romania is the mannina hey Jett and
he says Romania is the menina hey jetan Laval aquellas Amy that you know and I've and whosoever lives like the age of 80 years is that's he says laqad same terminal higher T he begins by saying I've become so fed up and bored of this life and world and then he goes on to say Romania each survey the money nahi jetan la a balakay SME and whosoever lives for 80 years of age he inevitably gets bored like it's
like I've had enough but I mean I I don't know I mean may Allah make things easy I think we as human beings we have a unique ability to reflect and ponder over our existence over the existence of of other people and creatures this world is dunya subhanAllah is very I think it's very difficult but may Allah make things easy for people that are going
through any kind of struggles I in light of this I was saying that I once watched this documentary about this can sound really weird but it was about it was about executions and it was about this in the UK the execution system they had and the last executioner as in the last at the band that would hang his name was Pierpoint and the whole movie made about him by the way but I watched these things about him a few years back I don't know why I ended up I have this thing you see like when I read something
I want to know more about it and more about him that makes thing I know I've I've read up and I've watched so many things on it's like all this information and don't know what to do with it but anyway at that time I ended up reading all these things in it and it was just left me kind of disturbed for a month for a while at least and but it was about executions before they were abolished within the UK and they were speaking about how they would operationalize them and Albert Pierrepoint I think his name was always the Alfred people but Pierrepoint was
his name and he they were speaking that he had a record that from the moment he walked in through the door to the execution as in done he had a record I think an average of I think his fastest was like nine seconds and I think his average was anything between 11 to 13 seconds he would do it but it was you see what was really shocking was that when they would they would have these cells that they call the cells the condemned cells that they would put these people in and then it would be
like three weeks later but that three weeks of just knowing you see that is probably to me I'm imagining worse than the actual because that's just an anticipation of something that you don't want to be anticipating so it's right so I think these yes of these kind of things but yeah and it was really intriguing actually the way the British were doing at that time that they had you see the prisoner who they call the
condemned he didn't actually know that the execution chamber was actually linked to his cell so what would happen is when they would bring him in they would take his coat off and everything and bring him across these kind of like the wing and then put him in this cell so the cell would have two doors and he would get certain guests come from the other door and that's like presumably the way out and then this was the way to the wing so he didn't know like he would have assumed that this would perhaps from the wing would be where the execution would take place so when they
turn up on day he would think okay now I'm gonna walk out I'm gonna probably go down the wing it's probably like basically he's in his mind he's probably thinking yeah it's gonna take about five minutes to get to this place wherever it is so as soon as they open the door and walk in it was a common reaction for people to just they would just have a kind of like almost like a stage fright like they would just get up and just be in a state of almost shock so what they would do is they would just walk in turn the person around and he's just compliant because he's in a state of shock they were just kind of tie his hands bring his hand but
whilst they're doing that they would just walk one of the guards would move the cupboard right so as he's getting up they're turning him around a guy moves the cupboard and they're just taking steps now he doesn't even know that behind the cupboard is a door is a doorway to the execution chamber so he would just be taking steps with the guard and it's only something like seven steps so he remember the whole thing is a shock he's probably thinking well woah there was a door here and he's taking the steps they just put the bag on his head the news and pull the and it was
done oh my god like no and then they were like oh there's a science to it they used to put the knot on this side so you'd kind of crack the bloody you know oh my god I was disturbed after now you realize why I'm messed up but I remember watching and I was a very disturbed white but the the whole thing was very at the same time weirdly intriguing but yeah right let's take some other questions people what's going on what's going on the last hung woman
was Ruth Ellis right yes yes Ruth if I'm correct didn't he I believe he's the one who hung her eye and she was the one who killed her husband because he was abusive or if the correct case if I remember he was abusive to her and she was very they were saying enough in the interview about that she was very brave and even right up until the very end but it is tragic you see I'm against all kind of capital punishments I just feel that these things are it's just not the way I
feel that human beings we are above that you understand but that's my way of of thinking was the right okay what else is what are some of these questions what is the some wolf what is Tessa Ruth who is Tessa who whose tests I guess the person who's Tessa I don't know Tessa we've do you mean to some wolf well there some
wolf is simply the term for Sufism and what it means I mean you all know what Sufi orders are they like mystic kind of orders which revolve around spirituality but have their own kind of folkloric superstitious structures to them that's what they are in essence but they they are based on the concept of mysticism strokes virtual isn't that kind of that's what they are they don't actually have they're not actually from the Quran
Osuna it's not actually from authentic Islam the sorrowful Sufism that said I don't think it's necessarily such it's not a problem with Islam either I don't think there's such a you know if people want to do it I don't think it's a big problem I don't think they need to be condemned or anything like this it's like I said it's it's like having a kind of a mishmash between mysticism and spiritualism so focusing on the spiritual but then with this strong element of
mysticism in thee and then you kind of shroud that in a lot of cultural ritualistic folkloric kind of practices practices from folklore that are not really based on the karana so number so you get and then you end up that is pretty much so the orders you know you have a you have a a thirtieth car which has a share and then you pledge your allegiance you follow what the shape tells you and this you know and I'm sure there's a lot of Sufis who are great people there's many of my mache and shoe
who are Sufis I respect them dearly and they they are great people some of them but some Sufi Thurrock do become like the rock is the plural of tariqa they do become very cultish so everything is about the share and the share these the shares that share yeah yeah we're not worthy we're not were chefs is just rinsing it but one thing I do I won't lie I do find intriguing is how intelligent people intelligent men and
women become so blind so blind in in some of these Sufi orders it beats me seriously I can't truly fathom that a person of great intelligence becomes intellectually blinded it's like they just become like an automaton anything the chef says is always that's quite amazing and always the Shearer and the
shares photos everywhere the share I don't know I find that kind of stuff I won't lie I find it weird but I don't condemn Sufism per se I don't condemn it it's not from the Quran oh so now I'm being very clear but I don't condemn it and I think if it helps report fine you know there's nothing somebody said Sufi is have beautiful -
people have beautiful - yeah this I'm sure this is beautiful man is with many people you know it doesn't it's it's not a generic thing that all Sufis must be you know I think there's good and bad everywhere so yeah what do you think of Pierce octave chamois hi hi sake shop Mesa damn advocate Amalia sake be Amitabh is also one of these Messiah of the saw wolf he has his own tariqa I
believe I think is it is a gypsy tariqa i think it is and I think it's a tryst II but his followers so I'm pretty sure they write chisti that's the name of the order they write sake be after their names you know I shave Oh beer sake be ami Sahib I don't you know what do I think of him I don't know like I think he is I think it's very intelligent for what he's done and achieved he's definitely very intelligent for having achieved what he achieved you know he's he has a
unique kind of influence over people which is quite intriguing actually because he's the only British British as in Western scholar or Western Imam or be Roche who has an influence in the East it's never heard of I'm telling you it's never heard of like the only time you could be like a Western Sheikh having an influence in the East is if you are
actually from the east as in you were you know like you were already there and established as a shade there and then you came over here there's no such thing as you kind of being raised here and being a trip like if I can that's what I mean by a westerner I don't I know if I can just use this loosely right now I'm not trying to get into an immigration debate but what I mean by like a Western Imam or chef is one who's raised here not like somebody who has kind of migrated here after being established in a different like in the East it's unheard of
so saket Shami sahib has definitely pizza has you know he's he has some amazing influence which is definitely all striking I mean in terms of knowledge and things like that I don't really think he tackles any Elmi issues I don't think he tackles academic issues I don't even think he's inclined towards the academia side of Islam or the enemy side of Islam the knowledge related side I don't think that's the impression I get it could be but he maybe he just doesn't it's not evident but I don't
assume he's inclined that way or he's interested in deep you know those kind of biological discussions out there like let's say these are the challenges to Islam presented by atheism or modern contemporary context how do we respond to them I don't think that's his thing I think his thing is just about spirituality and that's as a wolf and that said I have heard that there's many people who if I can use the term excuse me for saying this but those people that were kind of totally utter lost causes that he has turned around and made them
into very kind of kind-hearted or at least apparently kind-hearted human beings so I think if it's that alone then that deserves a salute you know like that if you can turn somebody into a good human being then I respect that that not in itself the other things you know you can do I suppose whatever floats your boat it's not really my thing but I think this thing I do respect I think chef Sahib shammy has done that from people I've actually seen and come across so this
isn't just that they were absolute lost causes so people around the Alum Rock area in Birmingham in some Reich the Aston area places like these that are densely Muslim and you've got a lot of people lost to drugs last to drug addictions to this kind of like crime lifestyles that he's turned their lives around so I think that is an amazing thing so I absolutely respect him for that so cool so that's my opinion on him
right so make a mean longer I don't know about the longer I've never really been to any salons from New Zealand Wow Ellis Island that from the corners of this earth people New Zealand ya Salam it's if a Muslim country majority country was running under Sharia would a non-muslim
be able to be its leader right that's a that's an interesting question you see the question is this people nobody really knows what the Sharia means but when we say to people that you know if a country or people say I want the Sharia what is the Sharia like so what is the Sharia if the Sharia is fik like so it's fit so it's like these books which I've
got behind me books of Islamic teachings and Islamic law is the Sharia then there is no single death I mean with certainty I can say there is no one single perception of what the Sharia is like because all these books disagree they disagree categorically I don't just mean they disagree on a slight you know like a little nuance they disagree categorically on almost everything almost everything they disagree on so
the question is what is Sharia you so it's okay to just have one person's book so you could say yeah as long as it's any of them really so okay so there are Muslims in the Sharia books that have said that oh well if you've had judges and the judges were placed by non-muslims over you and the judges were non-muslim it's fine there have been people that have said that that they can rule over you as non-muslims other people will disagree there have been Muslim judges Muslim scholars lead
writing on the Sharia are saying Sharia dictates that all its punishments and everything changed with the day and age beginning like great scholars like the ShareFile Islam of his age about possible but only the great Maliki legend and many scholars after him supporting him on that others will say that is Kufa Cafaro fear there are scholars who will say that you know that that all of these laws of transaction that we've got in these books there's nothing sacred about them they were just based on the custom of the time you will base everything on your own customs
what does Sharia actually mean because what is Sharia like I don't I don't know what it is because this is one of the great hits the greatest kind of myths out there that nobody truly knows what Sharia means like they think oh it just means meth-head like the thick but the thick according to who they say well the fit according to the majority so it becomes a democratic process like what makes one scholars fit more worthy than another scholars film
is it just a democratic process that he has more followers then that's that's ridiculous so it's not about the truth it's just simply about who has more followers so this you know so the Sharia I wouldn't there's no idea because if you're gonna say well the Sharia is the punishment penal justice told well there's many scholars that said that should have been long abandoned these are scholars of the Sharia telling you that the Penal just is cold ought to have long been substituted with financial penalties like a monk a sermon person he said all
penalties in in accordance with your day and age so okay so is it the transaction laws then many scholars will say no transactions are simply based on your culture so in the day and age of the Prophet they didn't have for example they used to always in Arabia they had to express what they were doing they didn't have Bayati that you could just buy something by just picking it up and putting the money down you had to be very clear but because that became the norm hundreds of years later or within a few hundred years everybody accepted it straight away except the share fairies who were a bit rigid and they accepted
it a few hundred years late so okay so it's not transaction so what is it is it marriages and divorce or is it worship like what is Sharia then so in my understanding Sharia is simply the preservation of certain concepts like justice insurance but justice as it makes sense within your context come compassion humanity education these things the welfare of human beings these
things are what Shari I was this is Sharia the problem is that we today we have a name without a Content like we have a name like sure yeah but we don't know what it means like we think oh yeah Sharia is what is it again oh yeah yeah so nobody really oh right the only things they do know are like Oh cut the hand of the thief like that's gonna start making things better like so and then like I said many scholars said that ought to have been
abrogated with the day and age so so this is why I would say that look in this day and age the the question is this the Muslim countries we have today all your Muslim communities the democratic process we have today is fine now if they selectively choose a non-muslim to rule over them then that's their choice although personally going by you know just the wisdom of the ages
I would say that whenever you get a minority trying to rule a majority it never ends well so if it is a Muslim majority then a Muslim ruling them a person from the people for the people by the people that it usually works much better when you have a minority so likewise if a Muslim is ruling non-muslims it usually doesn't end well I'm not saying in every case so but if they chose a non-muslim then that's
their choice so okay what else is going on people shall we take some questions see people say you don't answer the questions but when I try when I look here this there's no bloody questions [Laughter] [Music] all right so trying to sorry get in
the hokey Araya what's going on all right here is its let it's let me in people all right ha can women can should women attendee namazi janazah and all burial rituals this is a question asked by abdul light not a bus not the fame not me Abdul like 'no bus from the aloha on but this is this abdul like 'no bus from from God
knows from Facebook okay so can women attend the janazah funeral prayers of course they can attend the funeral prayers what does that even mean women can most certainly attend the funeral prayers and can they attend the burial rituals yes they can absolutely and and you see that although and many of the scholars have written about this if not the board and the great half it of Muslim Spain and other people have written that those hadith because there was some hadith with the Prophet prohibited some women from going to the
graves those are these were abrogated and that was just for a period of time until they were placing some structure you see because because the Arabs of and today even some other people have this custom as well the Arabs of old of ancient times had a custom that if they were to die it was seen you know part of the kind of part of the duty of the women folk that they leave behind was
that they were to really cry and create a scene and they wanted this scene created and they would say that it's like the famous Arabic leopold poet when he says in his either an amid to finally me Bheema a new home if I die then you see the natty is like the kind of the news and the outbreak that a person has upon the news of death of a beloved so when
you hear that somebody has died your kind of your outcry you and your kind of whether you however you do that or your expression was the night so he says is that an amid to fan Heaney Bhima and why Shakti all Al Jaber was Shakti a lil J by yebin at amar body the and tear your clothes and kind of like beat yourself yep net amar body like he's saying to his daughter that do this like make sure so this was the kind of custom that they
had some guys are thinking she it's not like about women just ripping me they're like why are these funerals so jam-packed people are selling for free you know for front rows that I can write it costs this much to be in the front row everybody's like yeah yeah yeah yeah it's a tragedy yeah
yeah so the women would kind of like beat themselves there so they do all this kind of like beating themselves they slapped the faces and the bodies and they today this this was known as the Jane this kind of hole that you stick your head through but obviously was much lower almost like how these kind of Nicolas I suppose kind of goes down and they would tear that and not quite the
but that's what they would do so yes I see all this so the prophets Allah Allah will sell them for a brief period applied a kind of a moratorium a kind of just a suspension until they had some structure in place to control this custom in saying okay look keep these women who are gonna do this keep them them back okay
in fact is even a poem by me that he means where he says what he says he says mertay to suffer him here no oh it's kind of it's it's a classic of me tuckie need where he says where he says that everybody dies but not with but what a tragedy is kind of speaking about a
tragedy that's befallen him I think he says Marte to suffer him mere partner is bekasi Cassatt something like that I think [ __ ] we I forgot already a long time ago but it's where he says that nobody cried out with your name upon your death that you know everybody dies but not all go through such a tragedy that your death was a silent dead like people didn't even cry for you so so
this this this custom did exist so the Prophet simply to control that for a brief period set some parameters so that's the hadith that people are quoting otherwise the Prophet after that said look the the graves visit them they remind you of the afterlife and in the hadith the wording is in the container hey - come I had prohibited that you visit the graves alavés uru ha visit them foreigner to the kuru come bill a fella that they remind you of of
death right so what else is going on live or die why do we circumcise when Allah says I have created you perfectly so hail secundum oops upset with the little snip doctor sub doc no imagine if the doctors got like arenal Oh like he's got Parkinson's it's like like don't
worry we're just gonna do a little snip okay he comes in with the scissors you know you should do as a prank that would be an awesome prank don't you think if the doctor you go for a circumcision and the doctor comes yes don't worry I've got it all under control you see this is circumcision in Islam isn't something mandatory but it's recommended read it's a strong emphasis
as part of the fitrah why is it part of the fitrah it's actually very it's more hygienic and it kind of it does support a more hygienic lifestyle and the studies actually today scientifically demonstrate that and some people have argued that it makes a it causes a slight numbness as in results in slightly less like a results in a slight desensitization of the area of the
precious area that said obviously we wouldn't know because that's all we've ever known so that's where we set the standard so but I don't think it's I'm pretty sure that sensitization is pretty fine it's but apparently apparently people say that it ought to be more sensitive than it is for people for guys who are circumcised but I mean if it does its job that's the main things oh but circumcision is really just a health thing and there's nothing wrong
with it right okay it's in it's in all religions it is scientific it is and today you will see that even studies on circumcision demonstrated for example the the transmission of diseases for example that when they did a study on circumcised men and uncircumcised men when they were even exposed to such
dangerous diseases like HIV 50% that's half the bloody applicants sorry the after bloody participants half of the people when it came to the circumcised men group and the control group the non circumsized that they were half likely to be infected and that for some reason it wouldn't allow the transmission of the you know the viruses and things like that easily it would but not as easily as those who weren't circumcised and
part of this is that we see what we probably don't realize as Muslim men is that it with the foreskin it's not just a skin right it is a skin obviously I mean that's what it is but beneath the skin there's actually these kind of like tiny kind of like glands and things which excrete a kind of mucous so it keeps the the gland the head the chief of staff it keeps that moist at all
times that's if you weren't circumcised obviously we're circumcised so we don't really have that experience but for non-circumcised people there's actually a kind of a gradual excretion of this kind of mucus okay and so now that can result in a kind of buildup but because of that those glands there are with the full skin they are very susceptible to picking up kind of viruses and things like that so that's one I'm just saying
today this is something scientifically demonstrated today you know I remember reading this a little while back all these kind of research this kind of study because I got into a debate with a friend of mine who's from who works at Emporium gym he's an atheist and we got into a discussion once about circumcision and he said well you know why ah you know this is it's all nonsense and so on and obviously we're joking and laughing we have a good kind of banter between us but I went away and ended up researching and I have to say I was so impressed oh it and this is from
general data available not Muslim data general scientific data available I was so impressed with the what I've came across and found that if even if I was a non-muslim and I wasn't circumcised and I've read that I would go and get circumcised I'm serious because I just read the amount of kind of benefits I was like wow thank God that decision was made for us but yeah is it moral to force it on children as people do because
supposed health benefits you see I believe that this is a choice that the parents have and yes of course I think that if it's if you believe it if look science demonstrates it definitely has you see if you had non circumcision and circumcision circumcision definitely outweighs from a health perspective and hygiene perspective now the question is should you have it now within Islam it is strongly emphasized as part of the fitrah when you when we use words like
imposing it on children it sounds very kind of demonic and sounds kind of like draconian and like oh my god like my child doesn't want this and I'm like I'm imposing this on you it's not really like to me that there's many decisions that a parent will undertake with the child it's like saying is it okay to impose cheese on your child in their cooking is it okay to impose like like when we use words like this they loaded terms so obviously if I eat curries and
I eat Chili's now I'm gonna impose curry on my child but you see when we say it like that you're making it sound like I'm sticking a funnel in the child's mouth and just pouring curry inside and I've got them in some kind of like cooler like oh it's some torture chamber but you see these words are just loaded terms I think the better term is is it okay to choose this for your child because is it okay to impose education on your child is it okay to impose
education who said like just because we assume education is a good thing arguably it is but I mean I'm just saying there's many people who haven't had a decent education but they have far surpassed the educated people productivity within this world in achievement there's many people who become millionaires and they they can't even write well you know there's many people who have become well established as people who conquered immense parts of the world historically and they couldn't read and write Akbar one of the greatest
kings of India in his time you know he apparently couldn't read and write but there's so many people who've done so many things and they didn't you know they didn't have a schooling per se is it okay to impose schooling upon your child I think these words are wrong I think it's always right for parents to make choices on behalf of their children up until their children reach a certain age of maturity that they can make choices themselves it's like saying is it okay to impose piercings on on your children on little
girls give them an ear piercing why I mean why not wait till they're 18 it just does in other world is it okay to cut their hair is it okay to clip their nails is it okay to I mean these things so I think although I understand you could say well the hair could regrow and but piercings are a reasonable example I think imposing education you can't undo that imposing certain discipline upon children you can't undo the time spent so I think if that makes sense
but isn't it much powerful to have a circumcision before marriage is oh is circumcision so-called condom before the con what what the hell is Abdullah on about is circumcision the condom right okay well the lot doesn't get to teach sex education people there's all these unwanted pregnancies because Abdullah has been teaching sex education that
don't work we don't need we don't need family planning we're circumcised so boomer is thinking that if you're circumcised you can't make anybody pregnant and then he's got like 50 letters coming from the Child Support Agency saying but can you come in and bring your checkbook Samir Ahmed
zyi has asked how to respond to Christians claiming Quran can be corrupted if we claim the Bible and other religions have been corrupted you know this is an interesting discussion I was I met up this last week with the chef Sajjad amazing scholar by the way very underappreciated because he's not so available on social media now
right somebody's asking about the LGBTQ education thing I'll come to that okay so let me just alright so let me just I'll come to that just one moment now this question about what is revelation in the past I think this is seriously a misunderstanding a great misunderstanding and a failing on our part as Muslims to be able to convey this concept you see we as Muslims assume that revelation in the past
reflected revelation that we have which is Quran that's not true not true at all we need to undo this kind of misunderstanding now I want you to pay attention here you see the Quran is called or an inner ring now quran means it's something that is recited a recitation okay so by its nature it's gonna be designed in a way to recite so for example if I pick up a
newspaper a newspaper is not designed to be recited it's designed to simply convey information now the Quran is a it's called or an in the Quran it's you are told that Allah has sent down in and zel noun or an Arab en la allakum Tokyo in the hope that you may be able to fathom this with your intellect Allah says look the Quran yes it has a message obviously it
has a message I'm not talking about that but its nature in which it was revealed to us as Muslims in this tradition was as a recitation then you recited it has a and that's gonna now have a certain of them it's gonna have a certain structure it's gonna have a and style a rhythm it's gonna have bytes nature it's going to be something which will be then memorized you understand now the previous revelation we're assuming were also or an or anak they
weren't for anak nobody said they were quranic maybe at best one could argue was the zaboor the psalms of david was that because it was like hymns and like a kind of like a song but put that aside it's the praise of the Lord but put that aside that what was revealed to the Israelites the Torah was not a book of recitation it was a message it was laws but as a message and then an on a side
note I believe I'm actually inclined to understanding that the Torah which is you know like the Jewish Bible was not was more comprehensive than what was just revealed to Moses so Moses moosa aleihsalaam had some things revealed to him that was not the torah as a whole that was just a small percent or a percentage of the Torah I'm not saying it was a tiny percent it was a significant percent but it wasn't the whole Jewish Bible the whole thing was
called the Torah okay now as in the whole thing the significant books were called the Torah they were not all revealed to Moses they were revealed to the later prophets of Bernice rail as well that's why in the Quran Allah never says ever not even once that we gave Moses the Torah he never says that he just says we gave Moses revelation but whenever he uses the word Torah with Bonnie Sarah he'll he never uses it with Moses in that verse but rather Bonnie Sara eel were given the Torah not we gave Moses the Torah so many
Muslims I think that's a subtle not that it makes a big difference but I think that's another misunderstanding we have that we think the Torah was to Moses but it's only some of that revelation that came to Moses which constitutes the Torah was to Moses but the rest of it which came to subsequent prophets of Israel including Daniel and others in Ezekiel and all these other prophets right that all put together was the Torah okay so hence when the Israelites were in Babylon in the Babylonian kind of and they lived in their surroundings and
naturally they took on the laws so they took on the laws of an eye for an eye in a tooth for a tooth why because that was the law of Hammurabi in Babylon and it was the from almost three and a half to four and a half thousand years before so way before Moses and things like this so but this became the law for the Israelites why because it was the law of the surrounding environment they were in and hence Allah says walaqad Khattab NAFA Torah and we wrote in the Torah enough so bid enough say well I know behind that you know that you have the
life for a life and an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth because that is exactly the law of Hammurabi with the Babylonians but this came after Moses so Moses in his law whether you want to say the commandments he received all the things it didn't say like a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye this came after but put that aside you see when it came to Jesus what were the Gospels that Jesus received gospel simply mean the good news and even in the Quran when he says the injeel that he had the injeel
and people say this is a it's a kind of derogate like it's it's it's a mutation or mutation if you like of the word in aramaic which means good news so what was the good use that Jesus was giving his people he was giving them some good news about you know about about God and about the message and about also the good news that they don't need to be so rigid on certain things to enter the kingdom of God like the way the Jewish law was you know and Jesus says Anna jit took most of the Kalima be near the I have come to
confirm that which went before me well Hillel a combat ability harima aleikum and so I may make halal permissible for you some of those things which you think are impermissible but the good news he gave them were the Gospels as in the message just the good news that he gave them this was the gospel the good news so we think like some Muslims think Oh God gave Jesus a book like the Quran and that caranas lost today no it was that good news that
was the injeel the gospel so but we are mistaken in thinking it's a book of recitation because we are applying our parameters on to them so when it came to the prophet muhammad salallahu alaihe salam the revelation was a quran it was something to be recited so i hope that makes make sense all the other books corrupted you see depends what you mean by corrupted because they were never meant to be it was the overall message that was meant to be preserved it wasn't
meant to be like a recitation book like the quran so when we keep saying that the the other messages are corrupted it depends what you mean by that that from yes they weren't preserved verbatim so if that's what we mean by corrupted then yes that is true they weren't they were corrupted from that perspective if that's what you mean that the the message the way it came to the way Jesus spoke the message that verbatim were forward or those kind of things haven't been preserved because we're not even
sure what languages are spoken in did he speak it in the Greek yeah Jesus himself would have spoken I remained or did he speak it in the ritual Hebrew what would have or was it in Aramaic we don't know these things so from that aspect one could use the word corrupted if you wanted to use that word that they're not in the original format but the overall mess and truly by them not being in the original format many things work may have been lost and some things may have been wrongly put in there and so that from that perspective you can use the term corrupted but the overall message
or some of the the generic kind of message I'm pretty sure would have been that so Jesus trying to tell them look he's trying to advise them speaking about the kingdom of God and doing this and you know you have to the the the stories of the Good Samaritan or other thing I think these things would have been generally what Jesus would have told them so I hope that's of some help
yep of course Claire Jones is saying it's a book of stories so translation change the story of course and not only that it was a terrible time een so the stories I suppose parables and he had an overall message and then he had detail and the people writing the Gospels came much after Jesus by the time they documented them and they disagree amongst themselves and they obviously their version and I'm sure their interpretation so yes I accept you can if that's what you mean by corrupted you can use that term if God knew that the
previous books would be corrupted or changed why wasn't the or aunt sent down and preserved from the beginning you see I think this comes back to our misunderstanding of what was it that God wanted from the people it wasn't first of all you have to remember Jesus came just for the Israelites didn't come for mankind like as far as Muslims are concerned Jesus himself says that I'm only here for the tribes of Israel he doesn't even when he says he kind of commissions his twelve disciples that they will one day he will set them
on a throne to rule and judge over the 12 tribes of Israel he doesn't say over mankind he was never Jesus was never trying to say I am here for Humanity and I'm here for the Romans and I am here for the Greeks and I'm here for the Chinese and he was never making that claim and Moses was never making that claim Moses never said I'm here for the Arabs and I'm here for this he was only here for the Lost Tribe of Israel that was it so there's a difference in purpose and in perspective as well and secondly who says that the
books were meant to be preserved like that that was never part of the that wasn't what they were trying to do because it wasn't a book of recitals it was it was an understanding a message with the Jews I think a lot of their things have been preserved I I think I think they have generally because their books were more about laws and their living tradition is full of laws so I would believe that they a lot of the tradition has been preserved but me what difference does that make I mean it's not like just because it's preserved you're gonna you're gonna buy it now you know you're not gonna really follow it
so so childress mine is asking do we believe these books are correct then why do we quote them I mean we can quote them if it makes sense on certain aspects there's nothing wrong about quoting them if it makes sense guys so let's take some other does the Aaronic imply that the Torah and the Bible we have now is the same one that the Christian Jews during Muhammad's time were reading the Quran
doesn't address that the Quran does refer to them having Scripture was the scripture that they had today sorry that they had in the time of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu I leave us alone identical to the scripture that we have that sorry that the Christians or Jews have today in all honesty I don't know whether it was identical or not I know that there are several it most likely may have been because a lot of the Christian kind of a huge bulk I know they were later reformation with the Protestants and things like this but I
think a lot of the major formative structures within Christianity had already occurred pre Islam so the Nicean council the sea of Nicaea and the institutionalization that takes place after that they pretty much decide which Gospels are apocryphal and which are reliable and and there is some editing still that goes on along the way but there were other people that did follow so did people used to believe in the Gospel of Thomas or the infancy Gospels of Thomas or the Syrian you have that in in the Middle East there were
some Gospels that some Christians follow that other Christians didn't so who were the Christians that encountered the Prophet and what Gospels did they follow well we I guess I don't know but the Quran doesn't allude to it it doesn't really address that at all right so Jawad but I'm Joe odd but Ohio Joe are you doing it one your name already reads Joe but but then you write hi I am John
but seriously are you John what is the from the Netherlands arrived what is the connection between 76 and bismillah much love well much love right back at you well right so now the 786 I've answered that the Arabs of all they had a system of counting and so you still see it today it's like Roman Roman kind of new miracles the way an X represents 10 and
a V represents 5 so like this in Arabic you had the letters of the alphabet laid out so if you write them out as abject how was healthy Kelemen saffice Carrie shut Baba boy I memorized that Seoul has been so many years I memorized that but if you write them out in that order right what happens is and then you you you did you digitize them you place like 1 to 10 but once you reach 10 then you
do you just go intense so 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 20 30 40 60 all the way to a hundred and then in hundreds so 200 300 and you do that till they run out now that was the accounting system now if you get that you can then use words and what are their numerical values so people then what they did is they broke down bismillah ar-rahman rahim and added up to 786 it actually doesn't actually adds up to 787 it does because they forgot that because you don't write the
Aleph in Rahman but you pronounce it so it is there but they didn't add that relief because it's not written so they counted at 786 but it is actually an Aleph knee so it ought to be 787 right okay so right let's take some of these questions people that have been sent here as well
somebody said look when standing at graves othman or the aloha on would weep until his beard was wet doesn't this signify that punishment in the afterlife is not merely a threat but a reality you see I wanna I want to say something here look everybody's relationship with God is different secondly nobody can say whether your relationship with God is better or worse as in right or wrong compared to somebody else's so some people may have
a relationship with God based on a lot of fear and it may be very right for them to do that I'm not in not saying in any way secondly sorry thirdly I want to say that just because somebody is crying you don't need to associate tears with fear that is I think that's a judgment you're making right so and lastly we don't even know if that report is accurate but let's just go with this report for now
you see we all have a connection I feel I even feel I'm sure atheists do as well although they all denied but we have some connection with a being greater than us now at times we must all get kind of very emotional now in including me I'll be honest that they look there's times when I will when I'm on my own obviously there'll be times sometimes
where we all get kind of like let's say tearful maybe you know like you I'm not saying you'll be crying like bawling your head off like that but you'll get tearful but I'm if I look back at the past and myself there were times many years ago many as when I was a student that even then I suppose I would get tearful over certain things but maybe it was a different there were times when it would be more out of fear in the past a very like many Muslims as you study as you do things it
was a very kind of like a frightful and and you would have that and I I would be like that maybe you know maybe two decades ago a decade and a half ago things like that I would say that now if you were to ask me I would say there are still times that when I get into a certain state that I may become I will become at times like tearful over certain things but it's not now maybe it's not now over fear like then I would probably say it was but now with me I'm
just giving an interest an introspection east perspective here like looking within it's maybe more so over a kind of a mixture of things I guess maybe an existential angst maybe a kind of a sense of unlike a an ungrounded and not being grateful and ungratified that you realize that you know what you have and and these kind of things might make you tearful at times they just life itself can you know like pondering over it just
reflecting can have that effect on you it doesn't have to be fear I'm just saying just thinking about life can make one emotional and hence tearful but it doesn't mean that it's oh it can be about fear but it doesn't mean it has to be about fear if that makes sense right so Oh Abner our sim is in the house as no silence and and right so let's guys I want to speak about something I'm just gonna bring this up on momento
momento right now there is those of you that have come across the cave I want to speak share a few words about this the cave is an initiative set up by some friends and students of mine now amongst them I mean I don't know those of you that I've really seen it on social media quite a few people involved in it amongst them I will more a yeah now and others as well and what they do is they they hold excuse me
they host certain events I'm not sure how often they host them I think it may be bi-weekly or sometimes maybe even once a month I think I don't I haven't actually I don't actually mean to the to the events yet but some people think they're my events I just get the credit for everything honestly but that said okay I'll come back to that so these guys young lads who have a I believe they have a very significant connection
with God with this theme but they are very young in the age and of the age these guys there's many a group of people are involved is they in what they do is they host Nasheed's some kind of there's like musical kind of displays they there's some singing there's some discussions some talks there's interaction with the crowd that's what basically it's a hub a lively hub for young people to come to who want to relate to the Dean and they have some
great people attending often that are very involved like holid Sudhir who is an artist himself he sings there's his his brother who me Omar who is a poet and he's involved as well they got other people who come awesome gray who's involved I think he's involved in some of the the kind of singing as well and other interaction part of it and quite a few but the main thing is there's a lot of mustafar Briggs is involved who does some of the speeches there and things like this now the main point is what I'm trying to say is a
bunch of young guys very enthusiasts taking up the initiative to say let's do something for young people who feel disengaged from the Dean and they've got a place to come to it's open to all men women girls boys they all go thei now they've had great turnouts they've had a great success I wish them all the luck they definitely have my blessing but the point is what I'm trying to say is they've received some vicious hate and I wanna kind of speak up of some of these alright they've been you know people have been hating on on this so bad that they have
been so many tweets by people and I've had some of these tweets and I wonder I saw them and I thought I kind of read these out as my multi masala move tea masala segment okay so so now right so this one by okay a girl called source Algerian Algerian or anything I don't know how she reads her name but anyway so this opposed a tweet by the cave saying jamming after the event with the
live performance of say masha'Allah by harlot Sadiq Mohammed Yehia passing gray the beat was made on the spot by cares case is another very talented musician good times hashtag the cave now somebody said weird flex but okay alright fine somebody wrote I would rather go to a rave topless
I mean all right can we come as well somebody wrote what kind of a shambles is this if I was there honestly I'm scrapping man like if I was there I'd be fighting like okay let me just translate that man this this is an Islamic that you're singing machines if I was there I
would be fighting and abusing you as it says we ought to do in Islam right okay right somebody says those defending the cave a usual cave movement the cave movement right usually mentioned progression let's not progress all the way to Jahannam please that was a funny
one young men and women mix freely no proper job either mm-hmm no proper job sorry I don't feel right I should have put something on my head to you cover my hair to read that and everyone is encouraged to get to know each other and become a part of the community how disgusting is that you sickos like you actually want to get to know people of the other gender isn't it enough that
you know your sister and your mother [Laughter] people don't usually marry their sister and you sicko right so sadaqa Hussein says gone are the days when our elders would lower their head in humility mentioning the best of creation with tears flowing from their eyes Allah save us from this fitna
Wow sentimentally this one resent indeed sir that were right and there's a picture right if I can zoom in right so this was the picture of the cave this I don't know if you guys can see it there but that's passing gray kind of singing he's got the microphone and they they've got an awesome say martial arts I actually you know I'm not into new sheets but I gotta say it's an awesome track by Holly Duke say masha'Allah this guy wrote no difference between this and the band
that balaclava in church drill spike nation cult what the hell like there's no difference between this and drill videos so drill videos are those kind of gang affiliated videos made usually put up on YouTube by young people that are usually kind of promoting knifing or gang crime and it's that kind of an and they I believe YouTube is trying to take them down as well now so there's no difference between this and a balaclava drill video just because in all honesty
I'm just gonna be honest just because cause him and these cam Mustafar or these other people are black so if they are singing and she'd it's a drew video and if it was a Pakistani Oh Masha Allah it's a machine so let's just say if college league was a Pakistani not a Jamaican if he was singing say masha'Allah with a buckboard accent say mashallah say masha'Allah say mashallah and he put a topi on his head
this would now be Marshall a beautiful beautiful mother you know the beautiful brother and he got a beautiful point you know but if he's black and he doesn't wear a hat or if he's got a cap on and he say say masha'Allah it's a it's a gang affiliated drill video oh why can you believe the nonsense that these people are coming up with because the guy's black it must be gang-related video the guys saying say masha'Allah
haha you know someone book monomial like you don't think can you listen to what the guys saying they saying say Marsha oh it must be like a balaclava wearing grill video in early layer he one nail a Roger somebody wrong are all sorry are we in your three please for magnums for Mandans bring this love it with the religious all of a sudden go go Road Road man on your road woman right so sorry are we near three please for man
dams to be cross-legged behind us could have gotten chairs at least with women behind and men at the front so this is speaking about a point where they they all kind of seated in the room and they're trying to say this men against the wall sitting at the back so oh my god man damn who've got cross-legged they've got their legs up god forbid they're sitting like you know they've got their knees up against the wall oh my god the next inevitable step is obviously sexual abuse
that's just like dirt I mean what the hell is wrong with people like seriously some bechara is probably just sitting by the wall is probably tired it's just reclining oh my god he's got his knee up like the next thing that follows is rape that's just like duh like everybody knows that what the hell talk about sexualizing everything yourself and some people say report this as spam
that's just a hater you know I can report this as spam this is upsetting okay the amount of madness these lot of spreading reminds me of a hadith where the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said some of my Ummah will follow the disbelievers inch-by-inch even if one of them crawled into a lizard hole they would also follow him brackets I'm paraphrasing by the way he
wrote well mister and his name is ghost who well mr. ghost if you'd actually bother to learn the hadith you'd actually know what it actually said instead of paraphrasing it right so the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in that hadith was speaking about those who institutionalize the religion it wasn't even speaking about these things but anyway some guy wrote about umi goomy's got that kind of headgear on and some
guy wrote thought this was some Sikh [Laughter] somebody robbed fake Islam fake Islam anything else interesting these were just some of the things some woman wrote check this out and I just had to say this about Qasim gray they wrote any guy that's light-skinned is tapped period I honestly will
I don't even understand that one any guy that's light-skinned is tapped period that was written by who goes by the name which true girl is she just saying any light-skinned black people are tapped is that what okay no generalizations they know well people this was to give you guys right but anyway
somebody wrote this is virtually imitating the Kafar by rapping and dancing in such a manner look guys I just want to say relax yourselves relax yourselves because look let's be honest these people that attend these events if they didn't attend these events they weren't going to be coming to your coat Masjid they that that connection has that ship has long sailed so let them have a connection with some
of these people these people to you because they're singing but wait a minute when Ana she'd sings you know when there's a Pakistani guys singing it's okay when a black guy singing it's always rapping in all these drill videos and Pakistanis are doing it when they dancing at their bars if you go to many other bars of oh you go to YouTube just check the bars in Pakistan they this guy is Dancing with the qawalli going on oh it's just oh these are just Sufis these are just whirling dancing you know people or these are this oh it's okay they just in their kind of mystic moment
oh but when it's a group a bunch of young people dancing oh and if they happen to be black oh then oh my god what's this trash what's this guy's your problem is in there it's not out there these people are not the problem these people are providing a free event for young people to at least have some connection with the team now I understand you might disagree with certain things fine disagree with it and this oh my god why haven't they got barriers men and women they need
barriers the Prophet himself salallahu alayhi wa sallam placed no barrier in his masjid whenever the Prophet spoke to people you think the Prophet never used to speak to people in his time when you think he wouldn't give them advice whenever he spoke to people there was never a barrier between men and women they just hurdled together they just and one might say that yet generally people would hurdle at the front and they would or however they would do it but there was no set structure there was not you think the Prophet do you think that
you're so intelligent that the Prophet couldn't foresee this and you could oh oh but people are corrupted a group what back then what men and women what what they never used to have sex like what like what was it that they we do today that they never used to do back then oh I'm sorry you can obviously see all this that you you're more concerned about the religion than the Prophet himself the
Prophet said we will pray never even set a barrier for prayer for generally meeting in the Masjid he never set a barrier he couldn't envisage it do you know what my Malik said to somebody were that made a suggestion about something the Prophet hadn't done he said you are telling me that you know more about goodness than the prophet of God himself so stay in your lane people just kind of take a moment and understand what's going on you're chasing people away from a connection with God now I understand you
can disagree with it all you like you don't have to agree with the way people are doing things but you know just hating people were calling this the motor our cave but you know look in all honesty look let's just be honest look the women that are going there they're very respectable women you know there's somebody's daughters somebody's sisters somebody's wives I'm not one person why but they they these are dignified people for you to be calling
this Matar cave that these women going they are just having random sex with random people like aren't you ashamed of yourself is this what islam teaches you to to kind of like just because oh a woman sits next saw on a bus a bus is what just an orgy is that what's going on in a bus like anyway with this mix so in Makkah today in the Kaaba today there are no barriers men and women are mixed there isn't no women this way men this way they all do toe up what's going on in macadam is that like would you would you say that
just because they're standing next to somebody that's oh my god they must be this must be what are going on so have some dignity you have some respect and this is why I want to say something this is why people this is why you guys people that are doing this are living miserable lives because you see begins in the the hatred the venom it pour you poison yourself and then you suffer these people carry Haughton they're having an awesome time so yeah so I just wanted to share some of that I did see
and I couldn't really I mean I I thought you know what that is a must I have to speak on that guys I think we've really spent enough time today right I think I've got to leave you guys to it inshallah till next week do any questions any issues reach out to me in shock it's Instagram Facebook snapchat snapchat is Mount 2014 the rest are just almost I believe I am on Twitter but I don't use it mine too many you know what it is I can't I mean I use it now and then but this is you got it takes up all your time with all the haters you know
people the trolls just sit there they hate they're like ah and there's too many awesome things to be doing so guys take very good care of yourselves remember look people immerse yourselves in love learning and laughter that's what I would say you know if you can do that you will have inshallah spent an amazing an amazing life time on this dunya much love people in Shalva till next week over now assalamu alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh
