2:51

surprise quickie yeah muhahaha no pasa nada this is no what it is is I thought well you know we've been a little while so this Monday I just could not make the show I wanted to make it because because especially because the following Monday I'm a bit preoccupied but this Monday gone damn god damn the my god

3:28

man flu may Allah curse the curse of Allah be upon man flu I have to say that it is seriously I'm not if you know the myth is real people for those of you that think man flu is just a myth boy it is debilitating and the worst part of man flu you see when I get man flu I don't I don't generally fever up so - the fever

4:05

I get like just seriously heavy head I'll get like I'll get the weakness in the body and and and runny nose like I mean the amount of water coming out of my nose I don't even understand where that water is coming from I don't think I've got that man much that many flu I don't think I've got that much water in my body the amount that just non-stop comes from my nose and the eyes and sinuses and the heavy head and god it's

4:44

horrible people and the worst part is because to other people it seems like just a cold it's like I see people they get a cold and it's just like a few little sniffles you know they just and that's it me I'm like destroyed and to the other person it will seem like this is just a cold I'll be like come on just get on with it it's like it's not even worthy of being an excuse so this is why la ilahe a la man flu you know it's it's

5:24

something that needs to be cursed right so yeah so I couldn't make Monday and you know I had a list of questions that I'd actually prepared for the Monday on the weekend before in my little part and Laila seems to put that somewhere here now I've lost that yes I lamb why don't you do a talk on on what on on Andalusia again I've done a

6:04

talk on anthem see I've done a whole course for here to talk I've got a whole detailed course on Andalusia which is on YouTube it's available you know but I'll stir this it's for you have it yeah free of charge have it I media so shout out to the NHS staff at Rochdale huh Rochdale oh yeah that one's rather wrong isn't it right what's your repeater what's your

6:43

repeater brother brother Lottie rápida either any what you repeater why aren't the Muslim scholars taking of Christian princes challenge and shut him up rather than arguing with each other I've got no idea who Christian Prince's I've got no idea what his challenges are but right there's another question are

7:18

you a Shia no I'm not sure I'm so me all the way mainstream Orthodox that said I think we ought to definitely be building bridges with the Shia community so for Han Mia are you fluent in Spanish Claro que sí hermano Claro que si espanol is funny only such a beautiful language I think that's what I'm I'm still I'm probably just intermediate level

7:55

right are you these questions keep disappearing here was salam bint amar was alarm no Mufti is not a Shia I'm not a she I know I'm not Japanese is my favorite language languages are awesome anyway the more languages you can learn I think it's awesome definitely invest your time in learning languages I did many years ago begin I began a journey to learn Mandarin I'm just so fascinated

8:35

by the fact that people can read Mandarin honestly I till this day I did not I had to stop my studies in Chinese at the time but unfortunately I mean maybe I'll resume it at some point once I've got the proficiency level the expert level in espanol but I am really fascinated I'm just so intrigued by Chinese I find it like whoa so I definitely I think if people have some

9:15

spare time they should definitely invest it in learning a language Spanish I it's I wasn't intrigued by Spanish I just love the sound of it Spanish is such an amazing language don't you think so it's the it's from the Romance languages and truly it's a very sexy language by the sound of it and I mean as is Italian but I think Spanish is just because it's so common mmm it's probably what the in the top 3 most spoken languages throughout

9:54

the world I think it's amazing so yeah and you can also start to understand all those Spanish movies and Spanish TV series and so yeah so that's definitely but uh you see it's not about it's not for me to say that you should learn this language of that language but I think you should definitely invest your time in learning a language and ISA a Louis Allen Allen wasalam marhaban right

10:31

welcome welcome somebody said Asif Sudbury Malik said Sunni I thought I am suddenly of course why how come people are asking all this about me being a Sunni or good Sheila Gregor is it because I've got a black t-shirt on Oh what is the the Shia or is it because I've said multi is not Haram this is I may actually this coming week I've got I'm very very preoccupied this coming

11:09

week but I may have some time to do a bit of reading and I was thinking maybe of working my way through this book finally azza wajal mata Mata our marriage because I have given the ruling that I do believe Mata is not Haram so is that why people are thinking the Shia think it's not yeah this is a written by a Sunni Maliki mark contemporary Moroccan scholar keratin JD de phil phik assumed me that a revised reading in the Sunni tradition now Nam Sunni is am I

11:46

trying to infiltrate the Shia market yato bus sorry monkey hey Mia that's the words of John Elia one of my favorite poets he says yet Obus sorry monkey mia ich by carbon are casaya hahahaha see that these kind of poems will will

12:20

get me into that Shia audience no I think it's I really do believe that we need to build bridges we need to work together and oh right so that's thing to do don't know what just happened there whoa wow this is definitely Zara Leila I don't know what they've been up to

12:57

right so yeah but I really do believe we need to be building bridges we need to because the differences are irresolvable so we need to kind of get beyond them mostly do you have any tips on learning or duel did you see the BBC investigation on muta I didn't you know but somebody mentioned it to me they said to me that had you I'm going I'm going to look out for if it's on YouTube you see I don't believe that what I'd

13:37

like the person said well you see is this Islamist prostitution and things is he from that perspective I would condemn the concept you see I'm saying what are from the concept or the perspective that I've agreed with is the sense that you see two adults whatever they if they agree on let's say some companionship and things like this it's nobody else's business in essence how to dictate to

14:15

them what they are or aren't allowed it's two consenting people so I feel that from that perspective Islam did have this concept that everybody agrees all Muslims agree that it did have this concept of Mota the difference is whether it was abrogated or not so people like even as a rock injury and people like if not sure the great Moloch in which date of the last century and and other people felt that it wasn't and the Shiar of course as well like you know that's this is not really really a Shia issue but

14:53

it's been kind of tainted that way that this is some kind of Shia Sunni split it's not but yeah so I see more from the perspective of choice and liberty and freedoms and people having the right to you know it's even if it because there are a lot of challenging problems in this day and age for many reasons and and and I've addressed this in the past as well saying these things like relation when it comes to relationships how do people even assess things like

15:30

like sexual compatibility for example how would people even come to assess that or what if people did not want a long-term relationship does religion not give the freedoms and I've just argued that in line with those scholars that I believe it does that's all so that's the the perspective but from a if one is to look at it from the lens of trying to say well this is about prostitution then that I would condemn and I would in line with all the scholars that condemn that I would condemn that so that's not the

16:10

angle of mudada these orlimar have advocated and that's not the angle that I would advocate so right somebody moved in a similar way how we have wahhabis don't you think a lot of Shia have their equivalent yes of course I mean there are many extreme I think she as well fanatics you see you know fanaticism or extremism if I if I if I can call it that kind of horror G

16:47

mindset it has no exclusivity it's not that there there is no sect that has a monopoly on it you will find nutcases everywhere okay so that's the that's that's what I would say I mean so definitely you get that amongst the Shia crowd as well but when I was saying that we should build bridges I meant with the people who who are like-minded who want to build bridges of course of course like the common common Muslims right

17:26

okay the broth what's what's going on what's going on what are some of these questions here is it okay to call a Wahhabi a wobbler Wabble Wabble Wabble Wabble any the problems of the problems of of or hobbies huh there's a lot of Shia related questions today I don't know is there something is something

18:03

going on that I'm not that I'm not caught up with mother mother hadith what do I think of Imran Naseer Hussain hmm that's right I take it we're talking about with that spelling of Hussain we're talking about Imran sure Imran was saying from I think is he from Trinidad or somewhere [Music]

18:40

you see my perspective on chef Imran I've not kind of I've not closely watched a lot of his material I've seen some and I've got the kind of gist of all my personal take on him it may be inaccurate but you see I feel that he's very preoccupied with the kind of the apocalypse' culture you know the kind of doomsday culture that that everything is very doom and gloom in the perspective

19:20

of people like chef named Ron Hussain in my that's my take that's my understanding you know I could be wrong about this but that's what I feel chef Imran Hussein preaches he everything is to do at the end of times it's all to do with the Antichrist or I know he has a different take as well on the Antichrist and the return of Jesus and things like this but but everything is about that kind of ascetic you know give up the world do these do that and I'm very opposed to that kind of a

19:59

mindset I believe that religion and Islam especially is not and as never being about this kind of doom and gloom approach to me Islam is about optimism it's about kind of seizing the day it's about living fulfilling your potential it's not about this kind of all we're all gonna die the world's gonna be destroyed and the cosmos is gonna collapse and it's not about that I mean whether that happens or not I mean obviously look what has a beginning will

20:38

have an end okay thus of you know has fate decreed matters so I'm not challenging that I'm not saying the cosmos will not collapse someday presumably will matter will return to being energy but my point is that should we become obsessed with this kind of a very doom and gloom approach I would argue absolutely not

21:16

yeah and I can't emphasize enough I can't emphasize enough the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam where he said that if the hour was to come upon you and you are planting a plant or you are eating a bite of food a morsel of food that continue to do so you know man Kahneman commute sorrowful USERRA let him continue to plant why I mean if if the world was coming to an end why would you be so worried about a

21:55

plant and it's not about that it's about the mindset okay it's about that kind of carpe diem that kind of you know seize it that's this a they say hadith although it's it's probably not authentic as a hadith but the meaning is still very true where it says that a yama selasa that days are three that yeomen mother that a day which has gone and then totally come in who she and you will never be able to recapture why yamaha

22:31

teen and tomorrow you know latter three i totally cool Amla you do not know whether you shall reach it or not well yeomen anta fee and a day in which you are here present the present first animal sees it and that is a to me an amazing message you know even if it's not even if the that's not a hadith but I feel that message is resonated by Islam so yet to me I'm not about that doom and gloom

23:09

kind of culture I feel that we need to be more optimistic because the problem with this doom and gloom culture is it all it does fuel death cults and I'm not saying everybody who subscribed to a doom and gloom culture is part of a death cult I'm not saying that but this definitely this definitely does support

23:39

that right oh you know what this is this thing I have this let me see if I can fix this is this you know I have this thing here and kids have been mucking about with it so they've broken a bit of it so the lighting is a bit off I don't know if it's if I can do much about that really I hope that's probably fixed a bit of it otherwise I have to get up and

24:18

the way this is I don't want to kind of yeah I've tried the Lord knows I've tried hope that's a bit better if not well it'll just have to be people it'll just have to be the way it is till next session when I'll get it fixed up right now it's I don't know this seems to I think those are that's probably been kicking it around or something anyway what's going on people what is going on

24:58

do you love near a train track what do you love near a train track Oh naughty naughty I'll have you know I don't keep track where where I love do you love near a train track trying to set me up you're not

25:34

mentally stable welcome welcome to my world sanity's overrated can you talk I have some questions well Mohammed Hamden as do we all as to you'll feel free to ask so what is going on what is bothering the awesome people of Facebook and now YouTube as well I finally made it Salam from New York I said an enormous island can you tell a joke ah well I

26:13

suppose not as funny as the one life's probably played on you but probably good enough one I used to be considered Islamic tradition I don't know what that question is Asif get the crayons out this is this is when you need crayons you see we got a what's going on what book am i reading right now okay so

26:48

I'm going through are you judge are you the gern yep you've cracked it finally you've done it sha Zhi Shan zip is it but the positive is isn't that an anklet [Laughter] [Music] well I'll let you have that conversation with your father died when you were

27:27

naming me he's like no I just you know I like you see what it is is we just like naming the children with with with kind of similar anagram kind of meanings to certain words that's what Alan anyway right what's going on what's going on I've seen recently what I've been

28:04

reading is into a lot of this material from Graham Hancock and other similar writers who speak of a a lost kind of civilization all previous historic prehistoric advanced human civilizations and I'm finding it incredibly fascinating I have to say you see this the the whole pre Younger Dryas kind of cosmic collision so about twelve thousand eight hundred years ago there

28:43

was a cosmic cosmic collision that led to or triggered the Younger Dryas which was like a mini ice age so you see that humans seem to be the globe seems to be emerging from an ice age about fifteen fourteen thousand years ago and the globe seems to be kind of warming gradually and about twelve thousand eight hundred years ago for some inexplicable reason the earth just plummets into a a mini ice age once again that lasts just over a thousand years probably about twelve hundred

29:22

years and previously they weren't quite sure what led this the the globe back into a mini ice age but this mini ice age referred to as the Younger Dryas is what seems to have caused all of a sudden you know the this seems to have been huge sea levels have risen this seems to have several outer land regions seem to have become submerged in water things like these now recent geological findings have

30:01

explained that it most likely was a a kind of persistent meet your showering that took place these severe collisions that may have been some of the most powerful collisions to have occurred in the last 5 million years and they led to a complete Atmos atmospheric change and climate change on earth and it is assumed now that it's that period that

30:33

that destroyed or wiped out maybe a an advanced prehistoric human civilization I'm finding that very interesting and when we say advanced we don't mean by the way we don't mean by that advanced like you know like today like they necessarily had computers but they definitely had probably like 18th century technology this is the assumption maybe they had some other technologies that were not familiar with but but they were definitely advanced

31:11

enough to have traveled the globe to have created maps to have done things and it seems really interesting that they that these were the the people whoever they were these civilizations that would have created certain kind of megalithic structures so certain things you find amongst the the Andean civilization the pre Incas the pre Aztecs the pyramids the Sphinx arguably gobekli tepe in Turkey which is about

31:49

11,500 years old a great megalithic structure because that's the that agriculture is discovered now it can't be that humans just certainly one day stop they put their Spears down and they just started creating megalithic structures that don't make any sense you see either it's a gradual process or but it's not it can't be that one day human beings are stopped becoming hunter-gatherers and they start setting up farms and agriculture and buildings and it just doesn't work like that so I

32:25

think that's definitely an interesting argument I'm quite convinced I am quite I'm very persuaded by the facts I have to say I've been going through quite a few of these works and I've got quite a few of them here as well I'm and I'm definitely very inclined in that direction right now an interesting thought is and this has recently occurred to me could the Younger Dryas that kind of cosmic impact

33:05

and the rise of sea levels the flooding the tsunamis the the kind of self soul freak the acid rain that it triggered and the volcanoes that may have been impacted by that the earthquakes the the dimming of sunlight for weeks if not a few months the death of vegetation because that's also the time the younger driest times when the megafauna they you know the great mammals things like the mastodons and you know the saber-tooth Tigers and all those great make a kind of elephants and

33:41

mega mammoths they called mega forms so these all became extinct at that time and the earlier theory that people had was that humans just made them all go extinct suddenly just through predation they just hunted them and just killed them all off which sounds like all of a sudden humans just go right let's just kill anything huge and they just destroying them all yeah right so it's sort of

34:19

point is that it seems now that the megafauna extinction was caused by the Younger Dryas kind of cosmic collision so yeah could that have been the time of Said's nan or Ali Salaam that's an interesting thought that I've recently been kind of just kind of entertaining that that seems rather interesting that because we definitely know that several regions of the globe are entirely submerged in water and they still are they still under so you still find them

34:57

on certain maps and so this you I mean if you watch the lectures of Graham Hancock or some of these other speakers or buy their books you can go through it and they've they include several maps as well and things like that of land which is now entirely underwater in the exact similar structure that it is underwater today and it's been underwater for about twelve thousand years so could it have been that the Younger Dryas was the time of is is the kind of story the story of

35:37

Noah ELISA Lam is reflecting that you know the great world or the great flooding is to do with that I find it plausible I'm not saying it is I'm not saying it is but I find it plausible because you see many world cultures transmit the story of the Great Flood many and there's a there's a book I actually I've put her away now it's cool the edge of memory so and it's a study

36:11

on the oral tradition no not what some of you sickos are thinking you're like yeah it's a it's a tradition da da da da Maribor amparo this forum para has been passed down for 12,000 years I'm sure it's been passed down much longer actually but the oh wait a minute we have our I chef waste

36:50

Mnemosyne in the house Alamos Island the Shah trust too shall ruffed chef you doing it you do in it's been way too long we have to catch up people waste amaz the legend from the UK who likes to keep a low profile but he's in the house right so my point was that this this book called the edge of memory in which there is a sociological study conducted on the oral traditions of stories that people pass down and it's amazing how

37:28

these stories survive thousands of years and they they still transmit it so and it's difficult doing that in very kind of cosmopolitan places where there's a lot of human interaction and mixing so because people keep changing and you know those generations and people will migrate and others will kind of you know so people will there'll be this great shift over so a lot of this study the edge of memory was conducted within Australia where the aborigine culture

38:06

was unadulterated for thousands and thousands of years and the interesting thing is they've actually passed stories on till now stories that date back to almost a ten eleven thousand years and the flooding then so they will have stories of particular lands so they saw for example particular islands or particular landmass that now is submerged under water to make it a separate land but at that time was connected and they will speak about

38:43

that so they will say they will say things like oh when this was used to be one land and such and such would go there and and they explained and now through scientific study we can actually check and it stands true it's not something fabricated so it's amazing that all these cultures share a flooding myth a myth of the flood like the story of Noah as did the Babylonians you know as did the Sumerians as did you've got the other traditions the Abrahamic traditions and other the aborigine

39:21

cultures you've got the the Incas the pre inca civilizations the Mayan culture you've got a lot of these things they all share a history of this this tradition of a flooding and I feel that that I'm inclined to what people like Graham Hancock and others are suggesting that that flooding may be referring back to the Younger Dryas kind of cosmic collision so I'm I'm inclined to that and and I feel it's plausible it may not be that that may be the kind of story of

40:00

noir aleihsalaam I do have some questions about this whole advanced civilization and one question is that you see that what about having domesticated animals how come if there was a an advanced human civilization wouldn't they have domesticated animals because the animals we have today you have only been domesticated in you know in the last several thousand years apart from dogs and I know dogs probably what is about fourteen thousand years or something but still wouldn't that

40:39

advanced civilization have domesticate animals so that's a kind of a counter question that I can think of at this point looking at this a presumable response could be what if they had I mean I don't know what if at that time for example because of the mega forms and the much greater animal species that were about it wasn't so easy maybe that's a response maybe the fact that maybe they had tried to work on domesticating certain megaphones but

41:19

they are extinct so or maybe they helped domesticate the dog I don't know I mean this these are all thoughts cool right let's move on with some other questions right what is going on people what is going on let's take some questions let's see what some people are posting on I don't know there's some question

41:57

here there was some questions about Kashmir and India and the whole thing I mean first of all about Kashmir I you know may Allah grant the people of Kashmir peace and and I feel that the right to self-determination I mean I I think that I don't know what more the thinks he's doing but history will not forget this that's you don't want this I'd like to actually say something I'd

42:35

like to share some check this and this I was having a discussion with someone who then avidly and passionately disagreed with me I said that look I feel now this what I'm about to say is to do with India and Pakistan and it it is gonna be controversial so may a few people you see I said I feel that Pakistan - I mean not that I'm not talk about the Kashmir issue I'm talking about in general because right now this

43:14

India seems to just be so triggered there's so much kind of like far-right movements going on this seems to be all this reaction and hatred and but I feel no that's why Hindi's is ridiculous by the way that that's why in the hadith are not authentic and I've done a session on that in the past so you can check that out on YouTube those of you tuning in to my youtube by the way do like and subscribe people notifications

43:48

thick big right so I said look I feel now what do you guys think about this I know this is gonna sound a bit weird but I feel that you know Pakistan in general has gone out of its way to forge and falsify a new identity and I I I don't know I don't like that personally I'm not and I can see why India doesn't like

44:24

that so you see what I'm trying to say here is Pakistan so Pakistanis I'm Pakistani as well but I'm just saying Pakistan in essence is India like we are all pop induced ani we were all part of Hindustan but Pakistan has for several decades it's tried to forge and falsify a new identity to act almost as though we were never Indians we were

45:00

Arabs or something or we were you know like like they purposely changed the wordings changed the and they've tried really hard to act as though you see we were never Indians and I don't know why what why what is the obsession with trying to run away from the history because look I think we should embrace the Indian history this is me personally I think that that personally Pakistanis should be or Pakistan I'm not I don't mean this about

45:38

individuals but Pakistan should be proud of being Hindustan in the part I know it today it is Pakistan but in the past it was Hindustan like just think about it imagine like what's wrong with things like Pakistan for example teaching Hindi as a script in certain schools what's wrong with that I mean they teach that each Farsi in some schools they teach Arabic in some schools it's not like people speak Farsi in Pakistan or they speak so why not in some schools teach things like Hindi teach as part of

46:17

religious education teach about Hinduism what's wrong with that like I honestly don't see what I think it would be such a great move so we had we had a discussion obviously the other person disagreed completely and said that that would be ridiculous I said that I think they ought to teach these kind of things they ought to teach the Ramayana they ought to teach about Haram and Shiva and all these things and teach these stories whatwhat's the insecurity why do people feel that if they teach about Hinduism that what they kids will all of a sudden

46:56

start worshipping idols that's ridiculous would you if somebody told you a story about Rama and Sita you wouldn't stop all of a sudden worshipping a statue I mean what are you like an imbecile you see but this is the history of the people it's the history of the land it's the history of this was where the Indus civilization was this is where the what what's wrong with that and think about how the reaction how it would trigger a reaction of warmth wouldn't if we're being honest

47:33

wouldn't we like India generally to do things like teach also about Islam wouldn't we want other religions to teach about our faith why is it that we have a very double standard a very hypocritical stance when it comes to when it comes to other faiths it's like we feel that oh my god if we teach anything about them we and this is I just feel that this seriously is if it were up to me I definitely would I thought to me I would promote equally I

48:11

would say that the cultural you know like the Ministry of Culture in Pakistan or to promote also and teach things like Sanskrit why not Hindi why not I mean what's the insecurity why are people so insecure like it's it's it's another language it's a beautiful language I think Hindi is big I mean India is like or - it's the same kind of thing anyway I personally have studied Devanagari you know to write Hindi I find it amazing right but my point is that I just feel that there's so much this trying to

48:48

forge a separate identity people are trying so hard to act as though they've got nothing to do with this hist this land or this you know that the we are as though the Arabs but they were never Arabs they still not Arabs today there's no they [ __ ] no they do not have we do not have the same culture as Arabs we you know the indo-pak culture is like we are closer like we let's take food we roti they you know we eat the same roti sahlan we speak the same language we

49:28

have the same kind of there folk traditions folk music the same things so I just feel and it's interesting that if you look at history look at the Mughals were embraced by India and by the Indians Akbar you see the rulers before that always saw themselves as separate to the Indian populace they saw themselves as foreigners but awkward What did he say Akbar had said that look I was born in India so I'm an Indian and and he said

50:07

things like all on Hindu festival days there should be a national holiday as well now because the majority of the people are Hindus and look how people loved him till today they they praise him you know Jahangir did the same shah jahan did the same you know built the Taj Mahal i I just these were just some thoughts that I had I feel that you see because of this imposed alienation it triggers a reaction of hatred you see if I keep telling you and we're similar that I'm

50:47

so different like imagine you get one household with siblings and one of them now embrace it becomes Muslim let's just say you have the this is the history of of the Indian subcontinent it's one family and one of them becomes Muslim so now because he becomes Muslim okay fair enough he you know he wears a hat and he does certain things and okay fine but now he starts to also change his language and he starts to act as though he was never really part of this family to begin with and they don't even have a common culture at all he has a culture

51:25

with Arabs which he doesn't I'm just being honest and he doesn't speak Arabic and even then one could ask what is an Arab culture even Arabs don't share a common culture so my point is that this I feel would be a message of humanity so being human beings first is most important anyway that's a de now people may agree then disagree should I beat my wife if she doesn't make me an ice cube second okay

52:03

right who said that skirt said that skirt I seriously doubt with that attitude you could even get a wife I mean even if you tried to buy one you'd probably just get scammed all right so what's going on what's going on somebody said you need admin for YouTube yes I do I do I usually don't allow

52:38

comments on YouTube but today I in a moment of carelessness I have forgot to I forgot to kind of musty which toothpaste is that really the question that's bothering you do Kurds deserve a state like the Palestinians deserve one salahuddin AUB is asking a question

53:16

I believed look all people should be entitled to two freedoms and self-determination now I do recognize that politics can be a nasty thing I am not too clued up with the whole Kurdish history and the socio political paradigm that's going on I am aware that the Kurdish people do really get it quite bad because they split over several nation states I mean over Syria over

53:53

turkey over you know you're gonna get in Iran Iraq I mean one people split among so many different nation states it makes renders the situation impossible for them to get a State I get that and I feel that that's very unfortunate right somebody said that you started with Kashmir but went on to the Pakistan identity I'm not against the Pakistan identity by the way I'm I'm I'm glad I think people should be proud of being

54:32

Pakistani I just feel I was just saying that I don't know what the insecurity is with people recognizing that we share a Hindustani origin and I just feel that Pakistan ought to embrace that as well and it would do great I think it would do it would speak volumes in having peace in that region I would just these are just my thoughts I people could say you know uh what the helm of the you've lost the plot nothing new thee nothing new I saw I read this meme today said I

55:12

said where the person says Satan not today he's addressing this Satan and he says Satan not today man and then Satan says I've noticed you've been canceling our plans for for several weeks now I mean is what's the matter is it something I've said yeah that's it somebody said you should accept Israel as a state you see

55:50

I've said in the past that that people should now you know because there is no you see Israel I don't agree with the Israel kind of Israeli phenomenon I don't agree with what Israel have done and I don't agree with the making of Israel but the problem is that Israel is already made and it's there to stay so now that the problem is there you can either just live in your own or live in the real world in the real world Israel is not gonna go away it is

56:28

I do feel that Israel is a terrorist state that's what I feel I feel that the government of Israel are terrorists but I feel that the world is stuck with Israel so what should we do in that case we should just accept it but we should they should allow Palestine to be I think either they should allow Palestine to become a separate state so you have a two-state solution that's what I would propose not that they can listen to me but obviously they're not gonna allow that they're gonna say well Palestine is

57:07

gonna arm itself and then go to war so they're not gonna allow that in that case I feel they should at least all the people in Palestine should be given the option to be relocated in a proper in in a proper residence somewhere worldwide so for example that would mean in a proper cosmopolitan not like sending them off to some desert somewhere some countryside that they should have the option they don't need to take it but they should have the option that you can

57:44

move in to a fully family refurbished kind of apartment or home some way that you know the way you can hit the ground running where you can it's good to go you've got it and it's yours if you want to move there if it's yours I feel that that is the basic human right that should be offered to all the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip so I feel that that because that would then at least because look I'm being honest that

58:21

yes you know baitul muck this the Masjid uberta Sahara which is the you know Dome of the rock it's a great mosque but at the end of the day it is still just bricks it is not more valuable than human life okay so if if this is gonna cost the lives of human beings then it is better for them I would feel to just to be able to leave as the poor answers for art hola he was yeah you know the earth of God is vast

59:00

so they should be allowed to because right now they trapped in the Gaza Strip they're not allowed exit but not only should they be allowed exit but they should be real comedy teed comfortably comfortably I feel that that's the basic right and if they take that offer it should be given to them that's what I feel but I feel that the rest of the world you know the Muslim world is kind of selfish in saying to the Palestinians that no even if you had the offer you shouldn't leave because you're defending

59:37

the Jerusalem I feel that that's a selfish statement because it's easy for you for me to say that or for you to say that or for somebody sitting in Saudi Arabia to say that but what you know they're not having their children butchered so I feel that that's right I feel how about one state yeah I this is what I'm saying that look either two states oh they should allow them to say look this is not gonna be a prison and anybody that wants to leave we will

1:00:17

actually comfortably Rhea comma date them somewhere in the world comfortably that means they will be reimbursed given money given a place a residence a home and and I feel that's a basic human right that now that since Israel's there to stay it's not gonna leave let's be honest so that's what I would feel somebody said what's this question ah

1:00:52

is it haram to shave your body you mean the dead body that I've got lying here is it Haram to shave it as well now say Haram to shave your body huh well I mean would you I don't know I mean does that mean there's many permutations to this question I mean one could be is it Haram to shave your own body as opposed to getting somebody else to shave your body [Laughter] it's like hell no I can't shave it

1:01:32

myself but can I get people to shave it or no it's not haram to shave your body I think you should definitely no I don't know no I'm not saying you should definitely shave your body but it's not haram to shave your body and if you need to remove in fact certain parts of your body you should shave or remove the hair from especially around the private parts underarms things like these basic hygiene people basic harm people I have

1:02:09

to teach you guys basic hygiene and if you wish to remove men or women if they wish to remove body here they can do so it's absolutely fine it's not Haram yes of course I mean maybe more emphasized I think some ethnicities see we're speaking about Pakistanis earlier on you see the things we don't want we get so Pakistani he's being like as Peter was it that's his name the comedian Russell Peters or

1:02:47

Peter Russell I keep always mixing it up which way which way round it is but he said like when God was making Indians he said God said I know let's put them in the hottest place on earth and then cover them with here because Pakistanis are just just like it's just unfair that the hair jeans that they've inherited I don't know why they've kind of held on to those genes even the DNA is like you

1:03:23

do can you guys not tell it's boiling hot outside so yes for the men so this is another thing when they grow their beards they're just like everywhere unfortunately that gene is equally blessed the gentle agenda that blessed the women as well so the women are like

1:04:02

mmm so hell yeah they should definitely kind of like a lawn mower Shea stops legs and this is why you know they they ask people ask that Oh can they pluck their eyebrows and you think well you see the Arabs because when you read about the hadith when you read the hadith you realize that when when you read descriptive hadith for example even when they describing the prophet salallahu alaihe salam so the hadith so this is a

1:04:41

hadith intermedia describing the the chest hair of the Prophet and it says he had only a few and on one occasion anis who was a young boy tries to count him and he says he can count like maybe I don't know it goes up to like 15 here 16 and 17 18 like this he counts individual strands and that's all there is and he says he can count like maybe up to I think it goes up to 18 or 19 here that's it and so this is to give

1:05:20

you a picture of the kind of the phenotype did the appearance of the Arabs at the time when the Prophet is speaking about certain things right now all right there you go

1:05:50

I'm just blocking mocking and blocking I think I've done that all right awesome all right so the point is that look now you get people let's say who come from a culture where they're gonna be they're gonna have like a monobrow they're gonna be like Cyclops might as well just have one I like the JA they got like these bushy eyebrows here and like oh parole do you think it's Haram ting pluck Idris

1:06:27

Haram it's like no that should be your priority above do trying to trying to do trying to do a Hajj above your first and foremost priority should be to fix your appearance it's like what the hell is that so and the worst thing is religion does it people so religion you know the things people end up doing because of religion they end up suffering you see so what happens is they suffer so much

1:07:06

and then they reach a certain age where they have a kind of like a a crash moment a burnout effect and then they feel that look because of religion I've kind of been through all these and this is religions fault and but then they forget that you see a lot said to them that I give you nothing lalla come talk saloon in the hope that you may use your intellect but these people don't really do things like that so what else is going on what else is going on

1:07:44

somebody said sorry just trying to I need to I will get the ah there you go done I will make sure I definitely remember to block a chat on YouTube next time why did the Prophet mimic the juice so much in the beginning of his

1:08:23

prophethood this is an interesting question you see because there's many people who now when they study Islam they many of the Islam revisionists and other people they felt that the that Muslims were really just an offshoot of Judaism that they were just a kind of a new movement that was really still part

1:09:00

and parcel of Judaism and that's what for example Hagar ISM they claimed was Hagar ISM from haja from Hagar now I don't obviously I don't agree in that sense with what they're saying but I can see this this this reasoning this line of reasoning it's to do with why were they so many similar similarities and that's because I feel that maybe maybe because obviously we share a tradition the Abrahamic tradition maybe because

1:09:39

the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam as he was distancing himself from the polytheists he was nearing himself or drawing on a greater proximity with the people of the book with the Jewish people and the Christians because you see that's what happens in the dynamics of other nests that when you draw a distinction you you kind of end up more becoming closer I mean there is obviously the backdrop that these are

1:10:15

people of the book anyway so yeah somebody said are you not answering that question what question is that because you have a hole in your ear like a female here is another person Norris J I [Music] mean to have first of all he to have the name naruse which is like it basically - or

1:10:51

just be a female name so we know clearly here is poor noodles here who is being through a life of trauma because his parents obviously gave him that name since childhood I mean so now he's trying to take it out on other people it is okay to have earring you know it doesn't all of a sudden you know by putting an earring on your penis doesn't

1:11:30

just disappear all of a sudden it doesn't make you it's not cool it's not [ __ ] ah this poor Neuros here was miss old the sex operation gender realignment operation as an ear piercing it really isn't fair the the the the kind of low-level IQ that this oma has been afflicted with it really isn't fair

1:12:04

it's just it's it's it's a curse it's a punishment the first thing I would do if I was its I would be on a Depot website

1:12:39

changing my name that would be my first act of of self-determination that for God's sake let's get a name I feel for you I feel for you homie hang in there that's it you can get through this [Music] [Laughter] [Music]

1:13:16

honestly that's that's harsh man you know what your parents did is unfair that's just that is like you know these crimes against humanity and then there's like naming your child this are not nice you know he said you say to your parents that nice why you tortured me but anyway

1:13:54

let's Neuros goes you're effed no I would be if I had the name noodles then clearly my life would be F but it's okay man I'm pretty cool and awesome here just chilling with with with my life but yeah but on the bright side there is hope you can change your

1:14:30

name just only your parents decide for the love of God they probably go yeah let's let's move on let's move on what other questions are bothering the people

1:14:57

Christopher Hitchens Christopher Hitchens was awesome obviously he had a strong resentment for religion but I think he was a legend in his own right I really do take a liking to him obviously he I disagree strongly with his position against religion but I feel he you know he had incredible he had this incredible charm wit and eloquence to him that one can only but hold in admirable light how do you explore on how do you explain

1:15:35

symptom whoa look at all these what the Catherine Catherine about change your name to move T munafiq oh wait a minute that's a check these people there's this YouTube account called the vigilant one yeah now this guy now check this out I genuinely don't get this this guy

1:16:12

reached out to me he says look I've got a YouTube channel and I really would love to kind of do an interview with you um and I'm a big fan so and he said look I've got like thousands and thousands of followers and subscribers and you know like and so so I said well okay I'll take a look at your channel and I took a look you know he's got some kind of videos about conspiracy theories and stuff like this so I said look okay I tell you what I'll

1:16:51

have a chat with you so he so he phoned me and he's from he's from the UK and he may be from Brum from Birmingham so I had a chat with him and I said to this guy he seemed like he was maybe in his mid twenties or something and I said well what do you want to talk about like on on any to me this is obviously off this is just a private conversation we're having it's not on a and he said well you know I want to start podcasts and I want to do these kind of interviews and and I thought well let's start with you and I'm a great fan of you and stuff like this so I said well look you know I appreciate your support

1:17:29

but what do you want an interview about I don't understand like what because I said to this person that look a podcast is great I would encourage you to do a podcast but doing a podcast I said requires that you will have to it has to be a discussion on things and he said yes yes I'll have a discussion with you on exorcism I said yes but a discussion is not a monologue it's not just me saying you saying to me why don't you believe in jinn possession and then I talk talk talk talk talk and then you

1:18:08

say but some people believe in it and I say and I talk talk talk talk talk and then you say so what are your evidences for not believing in and I talk talk talk talk talk I said that that's just useless because I've already got a very detailed lecture on jinn position where I answer all these questions so that's not a podcast that podcast would be a discussion it's not that discussion is where you engage me where I would so if I was having a discussion on something I will talk about it I would research the topic I

1:18:47

would have a decent idea of what's going on and I would say hey so you know this is your view about this this is really interesting it's being challenged by this perspective what do you feel about that I know you for example have challenged certain hadith about it I know you said the hadith you know revolve around a particular figure let's say it's even if she hub or Amish and these people have this problem but what about what you know what such-and-such is saying and it becomes an engaging discussion that's a discussion I said so

1:19:24

I said this too so I said this to this guy and he said well I I do have research on this so I said all right I said what kind of research would you have like so I said let's I said look because I'm happy to have a dialogue with someone but I want it to be a dialer I don't know if you just want you know if I'm just coming on to some conversation and the person knows nothing I said I might as well just give a lecture which I've already given so I'm just wasting my time and then the guy said to me oh well I could talk to

1:20:02

you about the Dajjal I've got 20 years of research on the judge so I said to him how old are you and I think he said like he's I think he's maybe 28 or 29 so I said to him well what kind of research have you got on the Dajjal because well well I know that Madonna used the icing bowl and use this and use that and like honestly I said are you being for real

1:20:39

like that's not research on the Dajjal for God's sake so this is this is my point that this person obviously has got upset because of this so since then he's he's kind of left me a few comments saying oh you you're you're a munafiq you're a hypocrite you're a fasiq you misguided you this but if I just backtrack a few weeks he was saying you're the best I'm your biggest fan what is love-hate relationship you know this love-hate relationship anyway

1:21:16

people so I'm serious and somebody said oh well that sounds I'm telling you I am really confuse are not mentally stable and and we need to realize that look there needs to be talent it's all fine doing something but if you're gonna do it you need to have talent and and I feel that so many Muslim circles just feel that they want to do something they want to be celebrities but they don't want to do research they want that kind of

1:21:54

spotlight I know I want to talk for hours and I want people to listen to me but I don't want to bother reading more researching about the stuff that's well then why don't you just buy crayons and just carry on coloring stick to the special educational needs groups and just leave the rest of the people alone right anyway let's let's move on with

1:22:27

another question right so let's see what questions people have posted here abdullah Awan said i'm feeling lost i waited a whole week for a Monday night you're doing it Abdullah you doing it do you have a holiday to view what this one what this one let's see what what is

1:23:04

going on people you don't share somebody Mike Khan has asked you know chef I've done Jabbar yeah I do actually I I know chef abdul-jabbar recently shared a message I sent him a message somebody asked me about you know I'll people I'll share something with you you see chef abdul-jabbar I when it comes to viewpoints perspectives we may be polarized opposite ends we may be I mean I totally don't you know I don't

1:23:43

obviously believe in the whole gene position and demonic possessions and stuff like that and and somebody had sent me a clip saying do you know this [ __ ] and you know my basically what the hell you know movies why do you have a go I shared your bar abdul-jabbar and and I can and I said in the comment I said this is all the I call him call the abdul-jabbar I said even the Shaitaan seeks refuge before messing with all the abdul-jabbar the reason I say cobby's there was a famous scholar in the past called copy of the Jabbar you see I have

1:24:22

immense respect for sure abdul-jabbar and a soft spot a forever soft spot in my heart when it comes to chef after Jabbar and I and I'm gonna share this with you you see people you have to remember something at the end of the day the most important thing is always the human connection it is always the human connection and as this there's a poem I've quoted I quoted often actually an

1:25:01

Arabic poem where it says a sin Allah NASA disturb it cool uber well autonomous starboard l-insana Essen that show a son this kind of kindness this human nice humanity to people that it has for so long captured the hearts and this is how one truly captivates the heart you know there was a time in a few years ago hope in my life when I went through a very testing I went through some very testing

1:25:41

circumstances and there was a whole you know it was very I mean and I to be free I'd you know took you know okay my chin up during the whole thing but it was a very kind of a testing time it was very pressing and it was it was tense there was a lot of pressure it was the time that you know I many people know that I helped out a certain friend and I ended up because of that going to prison as well for a short time

1:26:19

and there was this whole thing and there was a lot going on and obviously there's my family who were gonna suffer as a consequence and other people and because obviously and there was a point of undetermined outcome when when I wasn't sure what exactly was gonna happen and it was very because it was a very difficult time just to give you an idea I remember that one of the actually that that actual day when I was going to to the sentencing you see one of the most

1:26:56

difficult things was actually that you know that that kind of right there codon V and that morning and I because there was the potential that you know this may be it and you're gonna you're gonna go on a nice little vacation and I remember my daughter Leila was probably just about three and I remember she woke up that morning and she doesn't normally she never used to normally get up that kind that early and she did and she woke up and I think she just wanted to go to the toilet or something and she woke up when she and I was getting ready

1:27:32

to go to court and and she had woken up and she said oh and she just came and said oh she she asked me oh where are you going and and I just said oh yeah and she said oh you going are you doing work and I said yeah yeah I'm just I'm just going to work I said you got you go back to sleep but it was really difficult as a parent these kind of things that the the difficulty that that one goes through it's beyond words it's

1:28:09

immeasurable the uncertainty factor so it was at that kind of time in life I mean I'm not saying on that day but that time of that time in life that those months and weeks that shaykh abdul jabbar he actually came to visit me I mean I don't ask him he just he just came to visit me off his own back and he turned up to my house on his own and he just and he'd come to hear of that I was going through certain certain testing times that there was certain issues and there was this whole kind of hearing and

1:28:49

things like this now Andy and I have to say he came and he kind of to to just for that support and heat he shared some words with me shared some personal stories and he told me that look listen whatever happens don't give up on Allah and I seriously have to say that you know at that time his words meant so much to me it's it's amazing that you could be going through something and it's not that you don't

1:29:26

know these things but it's as as the as the verse in the Quran says kid finally cross and follow me me you know that remind people that the that a reminder helps the people of faith and share up the Jabbar he came to my house he came to my home and he kind of sat there and he told me about some stroke his personal some personal stories when he went through some very difficult times and how everything was salvaged and saved at the in the end and how you know to what cool he had this torkoal a

1:30:03

la la de stoical that this kind of reliance on Allah and God and how God was there for him and I have to say that this really it meant so much for me at that time and it gave me such a like he kind of boosted my support mechanism my internal mechanism and I've really deeply till this day appreciate that he because even after you know if anything let now tell you something because look

1:30:41

my views are nothing like the the views of maybe chef abdul-jabbar it was so different in our perspectives he could have said that oh you know almost he is just a deviant he could have said that he could have said and this is another thing that some Muslims resort to sometimes oh this is a punishment from God for this person haha serves him right you know it's ridiculous there's recently that you see I don't follow rapping in the rap culture so closely but there was recently that drill artist

1:31:20

or rap artist that got stabbed in in Birmingham and some Muslims because he used part of surah fatiha in a rap video and some Muslims were offended that why did he say al hamdulillah and things like this in a video so when he got stabbed recently some Muslims had commented serves him right and unfortunately Muslims can suffer from this kind of very very pernicious and cancerous kind of attitude that when they see something bad happening to someone they say oh this is God punishing you ha ha

1:31:59

ha and he's crazy but religious people do that and this could have been like Sheldon Shabbat could have taken a stance like that he could have said that you know this guy's absolutely look at him he's he's a deviant this he makes you know he deems all these things to be halal or whatever and or at the least he could have just ignored the situation but he went out of his way to come to my home and to kind of sit there and talk to me and to tell me that listen forget about everything else right now your morale

1:32:37

might be low but I want to tell you just hanging me and that you know forever has captured my heart at least so I will forever have a soft spot for Chef abdul-jabbar you know may Allah forever preserve him and keep him smiling I disagree obviously on views with him and and I think we can always disagree with anyone you know I can disagree with myself I might have an opinion 5 years ago that I've changed today but I feel that you see what it comes down to is the human character and

1:33:14

definitely to me chef abdul-jabbar is a man of substance he's a man of character so so definitely I mean I know somebody said oh Cher you know this chef is going on about these stories at look whatever the chef's view is is his view my view may be different but I truly have you know like from my heart doors for him and similarly I would like to echo that message to people I do try seriously I try that sometimes if I come across especially people that I make that I know if they're going through certain

1:33:52

circumstances I do try to to kind of extend some support or some help and that's something that I would advise all of you that do that because it really it is the thing that counts you know it's not this you know this kind of debating this arguing we can do that I can I can do that you know I love debating and philosophical arguments and doing this and doing that and I feel that in some ways I I I'm kind of mentally wired for that but you know

1:34:32

this stuff is not what people remember what they remember is the human element you know there's that famous story of those of you that are familiar with the table key culture may have may know of [ __ ] abdul wahab saab he's the great a meal in pakistan of the Tablighi Jamaat now there was a story that he related where he mentioned that he said you know he met a person once he was riding a train and it was a long journey it was

1:35:11

gonna be like a an 11 hour trip or something and he ended up sitting next to someone and he thought well you know with the Tablighi Jamaat they always want to give that way that way let's give this person dava you know like they say thou are let's do that I listed our so and they feel kind of duty-bound to give that hour to someone every day so he thought this isn't you know the guy can't leave he's not gonna get up and go so this is an opportunity to preach so he thought look how do I open you know because if I just stop preaching the guy might just say to me look listen excuse me if you don't mind you know I just like my peace and quiet so what happened

1:35:51

is in the Train you had somebody come past they they come and sell things like some savories or sweets or tea so he so he bought himself a cup of tea and he bought this guy a cup of tea he said oh you know can I have two cups of tea please and and he handed one to him and the guy said oh well thanks and and he said I used that opportunity to preach so he said I preached him for an entire something like nine hours I preached and preached and preached and preached and he says you know I'm fine you know we got to our destination and we parted ways he says

1:36:29

you know as it happened years later I bumped into that individual he came I think the guy was traveling to the city of Lahore or something and he bumped into him and he said to him he said o [ __ ] saw he said and he said Oh have we met he said yes yes and he reminded him he said what we met in the Train he said you brought me tea and [ __ ] of the Rahab stopped it when he was retelling the story he said I preach to this guy for nine hours and he couldn't remember a damn word that I'd said but

1:37:07

do you remember that I brought him some tea that I bought tea for him he remembered that you see because the human element people that's what people remember they don't remember who gives a damn about your lecture so yeah so I hope that's that's of somehow I think we should start wrapping this up you know what I'll take a few rapid round we'll do a few rapid Q&A and then we'll wrap

1:37:44

this up how does that sound because I'm right what I'll take a few rapid questions people and also this coming Monday I'm gonna be slightly this coming Monday won't be a session so this week will be off and then the Monday after that will resume so any rapid round questions most if you don't believe in supernatural miracles why do you believe the Quran is the word of God you see this when you say supernatural do you believe in the supernatural as in do you believe in God I do believe

1:38:23

in God it's not counter reason to believe in just because you can't prove something it doesn't make a counter reason yes it is counter reason to go against facts as we know them so to say that gravity doesn't exist for this cup is ridiculous so I think Muslims some Muslims have got this twisted I meant the DC Fatima's food gathering can you elaborate write

1:39:00

about your Taliban life in Pakistan sure sure sure of course some other time right now let's do some rapid round what caused the Shia to have a different perspective on [ __ ] I don't think they do have a different perspective on [ __ ] is serious mentioned in surah Najam yes it is I believe that's serious the starters refer to surah I believe because it was

1:39:36

important as was Canopus as well was another important star that part of the Kaaba is aligned to so the wall of the Kaaba is aligned to the star which is in Arabic called Sohail cool let's somebody said about the age of Ayesha yes you know the age of Ayesha people need to really grow up they need to realize that this is unacceptable to be attributed these things to the Prophet it is blasphemous I saw some you know somebody

1:40:15

online saying things like how can it be rape when there's parental consent I thought is this guy some really mentally handicapped I mean what the hell does he even hear what can you even read what he's written Yeah right let's take some rapid round people rapid round questions and then

1:40:49

let's wrap this up I was reading actually today there was a nice poem of John Delia that I came across where it said where he said ah damn because I just ready today actually for the first time it was just

1:41:27

a one-liner where he said delay matter whom go ho da ba [ __ ] that may God forgive this you know this is this poor heart alright slipped my mind oh that's it

1:42:05

delay my home khuda Baksh a birdie runic legaia ricotta he said that may God have mercy on this poor heart that he he it definitely was the soul of all kind of gatherings of all places meaning that it was the heart was incredibly charming but it just you know the the wording is in order to adjust it it captures so much pain at

1:42:44

the same time as appreciation that delay Marham kohada Bosch a buddy runic legaia ricotta it's just amazing right right what is going on what is going on the or tube poet musty Abu layth he got you know released this poetry really it does it does something this is a new poet I'd

1:43:21

come across called sure in Urdu he was quite a contemporary of John Elia and I find some of his stuff really fascinating he had this line where he says he says look sad most miRNA he taught a hoax had more say more nahi jati some nicky missile him he said people do not die simply due to tragedies a living example is right before you

1:43:56

la la la la sure doing it doing it doing it huh so what is going on how good is your memory ah it's all right I guess it's all right not bad this on what do you think of using they as gender-neutral to refer to Allah you know what's funny is we're in a day in

1:44:32

age to us where some religious people you see because plus religious people don't realize that when they walk around in the joopa a thought it looks like they're just walking around in a dress it honestly looks like that like I was today after Jamaat seen this this guy walking you across the road and he had some other top on top of these so so up to he ate it because they didn't so up to here kind of covered he had some kind of like a hoodie or something on and

1:45:10

then he had just the thought we just looked like a dress then I was just looking at it and I was thinking that you know it's a strange time we're living in when the religious have ended up accidentally appearing as like kind of cross-dressing I'm using terms like they which puts them in the same camp because they coolish shifts and gives arms as they as the non-binary gender so

1:45:47

they've ended up in a strange camp younggu certain aha funny but I uni this one was different the Shaheed had mentioned this poem but the Uni sahibs poetry is awesome as well oh no I'm talking about sorry Shaquille but the unique but also funny I'm sure he's great as well but till mr.hong

1:46:24

khuda Baksh a that this one of that that i was quoting was of june Elia where he says the body Runa clogged Iraq Tata that he would be the sole Roenick it's an amazing it's actually an Arabic word that's used more so a new tool right so what else people let's take a few rapid questions and then we'll wrap it up did you go to the gym today yep already mean today right so are you gonna watch at the rule I haven't actually watched it their little life just couldn't really

1:47:04

get on to that I've watched so many other TV series I think I've clocked most of them right what's a cou surah ahzab is back he's asking what's a qu sera I don't know what have you not looked in the mirror recently

1:47:34

kisara is a eunuch no not a unicorn right this one this one he/she right so somebody said thoughts on Jordan Peterson Jordan Peterson is awesome I love Jordan Peterson there's an amazing discussion between Jordan Peterson some hurries they've had a few but there's a particular one I think is it the Vancouver one but that is so epic if you watch it thoroughly right

1:48:12

would you consider teaching Ottawa are these other people teaching or do we don't need to teach or - OH - just go casting hey Amy what's the poet dog said that or do Diskin am heheh me chanting uh that that which is called or do we truly master it dog sorry Johar made whom Hammad is Avakian that the whole world should come to recognize the beauty of this language didna hasn't called Malik a cat I doubt that but

1:48:52

although he was very you know he was biased against the male Kia but you can understand that because of the politics in his time somebody asked which woman is best to marry from Algeria or Morocco has some nice arm with this questioning I think neither is available for you you're gonna need to I don't think either are an option unless you mean as

1:49:29

a fantasy or unless you have the British passport you know that one somebody replied no you marry yo cousin that's that's gotta be no I know you know I cracked jokes about stuff like this and he must hurt some people because unfortunately they married to their cousins that's gotta be quite sickening I got this thing it's like they got it

1:50:07

look just like you [Laughter] it's like my mate said he said oh when I was he said when I was 18 my dad sent me to Pakistan to marry my cousin he said I looked at her and she was absolutely blaming gorgeous he said she looked just like me with two plots god these are not nice you know cousins

1:50:44

cousin sister Sam Sam you know Sam Sam what is your opinion on steroids oh well I think steroids are more an issue of legality and safety they're not an issue of being Haram they're not Haram right you need to watch power yeah hi I don't know maybe I'll get round to that one hurry so pawn is in the house all right Howdy's ji as Louis Alan marhaban swagat

1:51:22

both boats rocking at the apke Harry said I agree with your position on yeah yeah I mean I I just feel that look with Kashmir it's clearly upsetting and but the thing I was saying about Pakistan I just that was my personal opinion on saying that it's not to do with the Kashmir issue but it's just that I feel that Pakistan should really just embrace its history its Indian history its Indian origin you know it's not and be proud of it and I don't feel and I feel that we should Pakistan should teach

1:52:02

sons create they should teaching the I feel he should teach the remind should teach you know Hinduism as a cultural thing people and should be insecure I don't know what the insecurities about people think teach another religion you become that religion right okay so what's going on peep what's going on last few questions then we're wrapping it up opinions on mallanna and watch Akash MIDI sure I mean I'm Raja Kashmir he was a great scholar of the Indian subcontinent but he wasn't he wasn't God you know the

1:52:39

problem with the open these is that yes I think a lot of the scholars were great people but they made you know that the opinions will not divine scripture you know people feel that they have to worship those colors somebody said whoa whoa somebody says if you man if you got blocked why if you huh if me why if you man why you watch that back clip hey

1:53:18

there it's the one guy in the car you're the one what do you you you PPP why me you you why you me are you it is so hilarious Jamal is wondering is it Haram for him to is it Haram for a couple to become swingers well Jamal you've got your goal couples in place your couple golds so I see where your relationship will be heading favorite book on psychology right that's

1:53:57

a difficult one I mean I think really psychology is more about the theories it's not to me psychology is not about books it's about the theories and concept psychology is awesome I absolutely love psychology trying to understand the mind human behavior I feel it's a must were the sumerians people of Noah no I believe that no I don't believe they world or they have a flood myth as well but today I discussed that maybe is it plausible that Noah ELISA Lam was from

1:54:36

the time of the Younger Dryas kind of cosmic collision perhaps pops right what is going on people what is going on what are some questions mostly did you hear about the Salafi scholar said you can breastfeed your coworkers so they can you can breast your coworkers do they offer work experience there I'm asking for a friend

1:55:11

they've got like a long queue of like we're here for work experience well that's Jeremy Bentham was a great philosopher absolutely was he kind of grew up the structure of the panopticon you know the the prison way the prisoners would watch each other it's a great theory actually is it true that

1:55:50

certain ethnic group South Asians are actually descendants of the Arabs who ruled India South Asian Muslims are actually descendants of the Arabs who ruled India Arabs never ever ruled India generally speaking I don't mean as a one-off a few people here or there but they generally didn't yeah so it was always the kind of Persians and they were that kind of the Turkmen people and stuff like that they weren't generally speaking Arabs I know sometimes they felt some people one-off person may have had some descent

1:56:30

so they may have claimed to have been Qureshi or things like this but they were never generally Arabs have you read Jerusalem a biography not do you think that tax is theft it's an interesting question you know I feel I understand the concept but I feel sometimes it's it is some taxes are ridiculous and I feel that I do feel in more about what is fair as opposed to equal because the way

1:57:08

the system works is it's more benign and forgiving to the powerful and it clamps down on the poor so like so for example saying okay everybody pays a certain amount of tax or certain you know percent of tax it's you see it's up to a certain amount it's not the same when you're a millionaire and when you're struggling to just put food on your table and you're just about you know you've got a certain I just feel that the system is kind of rigged to favor

1:57:46

the rich most ebolaids do you believe Cyrus to be zul qarnain hmm that's an interesting question I I don't really know who's or qarnain is this some people have said is Alexander I don't believe he was Alexander the Great some people have said like Cyrus some people have said he was a South Arabian King from the you know the ancient south arabian kingdoms that existed pre pre islam but whoever he was I'm not really

1:58:20

sure not really sure favor right people let's wrap this up stunned chicken halal right people right in the words of the epic poet Mirza Rafi so da Allah don't you just love the aliases that the order poets used to adopt they adopt soda soda can mean like a transaction but it can also mean something if you take it with the spelling of soda then it means something like dark and blackened out kind of but
