This is another problem I guess with the Western paradigm. And I feel in some ways the Islamic um Islamic license, shall I say? It's not the Islamic paradigm, but the license. Um allows for it better. I feel because the Islamic license to uh multiple relationships, plural relationships, what it allows is like the Hadith says, you see, Zurr ghibban tazdad hubban.

It's a beautiful Hadith. That leave a gap before you see each other. It will increase you in love. But you see because when you're constantly in people's face, I don't know how it's it's got to be frustrating, isn't it? Because you you annoy people and I'm sure you annoy them as much as they annoy you. It's a human thing.

So, when people see with a gap, so they they they they they they're eager to see the other person. And it kind of it results in more perpetuity, more kind of a longevity of that relationship. You So, I'm not saying that everybody has to enter into polygamous religion.

1:31

It doesn't have to be. That's not the only way that could happen. It could just be that people have isolated residencies. But sure, that's one paradigm, a license. That's not a paradigm. I guess it's a license that Islam allows. But it the the current thing I think is is cuz somewhat claustrophobic. Um Inna lillahi

2:02

Uh people be like, "What the hell did Mufti just say there?" Well, uh I'm not saying you have to do it. I'm just saying it's interesting, isn't it, that this paradigm of having a gap, that distance makes the heart grow fonder.
