9:27

just transition this across all right look at that people look at that so just you know all this I'm I'm learning as we're going along I'm learning all this stuff and it's it's amazing honestly this whole online thing I've also been I've also kind of upped

10:05

slightly the game on the whole online platform been really trying to learn and improve so people do check out a lot of this stuff check out my youtube channel I've slightly enhanced it and I am releasing I've got that bloody beard thing all over me now releasing a video every day so if you've not already subscribed to my YouTube then you've got to do that people make sure you head over click Subscribe the notification

10:44

icon all right so oh my god I haven't shared this on the other page buh-buh-buh-buh-buh but good for good for this on these are not nice now I'm just going to share this and then let's get this show on the road people let's deal with some of the the pressing issues that the awesome social media people have got preoccupying their minds

11:19

look at that there is right almost done and done right so what is going on now you know what I can also do is because it's him still I'm still learning with all of this by the way everything is so why

11:57

everything is halal with you answer why why everything halal with you well I think problem lie with you why it's wrong everything with you beginning with your birth the first Haram incident is clearly your birth that's something

12:29

that should not have happened but so God but knowing that Santa's beard right now what is going on right so you see there's something important to explain that in Islam it's not me it's the Sharia that places everything by default to be halal now although everybody accepts that in principle now in the

13:05

real world they struggle in applied study are they struggle to accept that then however am i right okay so however in the real world they struggle to accept that and that's their own kind of shortcoming it's not the the Sharia

13:37

asphalt right so no no no let me just go back to right so what I'll be doing is I'll be taking a look at the questions as well that you guys are posting may God give you love and blessings sugar and sugar and J's you doing it you're doing it you doing it you doing

14:11

right so the next Labour leader I haven't got time for politics you know but it's a shame like I mentioned what happened to Jeremy Corbyn was a tragedy of biblical proportions I laugh at it but I mean it's it's really sad I mean I'm a proper koban fun but man they did him over bad part of zalem dunya let me do you know like the

14:48

pakis do that solemn dunya poppies and sod - bah - bah bah Haute junkie they really did the bechara over man I mean like I mentioned last week he spent decades of his life so many decades campaigning against corruption against oppression and racism and not only do they does he face his greatest humiliating defeat unfortunately at the

15:27

peak of his career but he's asked to close his entire chapter with the label racist the very thing he fought for decades this is this dunya people dunya dunya there are removable eeeh that's the essence of this world people so you have to be very very incredibly worried most E's do Bundy teachers be thinking why we give him a jhaza I've had Salafi teachers I've had do

16:06

Banda teachers I've had Braille V teachers fat Maliki teachers I've had chef a teachers Hanafi teachers I've I've even had the hairy teachers believe it or not I have taken knowledge from each and all but as I often say people I don't have a hierarchy I am the hierarchy it's too late I am now a Mufti so I am the hierarchy it's too late you

16:42

know these aren't too late you know so this is what's coming down people this is the nature of the dunya dunya Lali what's the this a poem the hum nature ha Azam virgin zackham he's a humble game which many cha ha sorry miniature Hawk is a conversion is a play on words inner too easy because Siham

17:22

Varna is like for the moon to to fill itself but it actually means to heal and he says miniature Hawk is a home virgin that what I wanted was the wound to be healed zombies a hunger game which me rather rather than the wound filling up I filled up with wounds so so one must be very careful you know what one before so with that going on people what else we've got oh my god what's going on in India

17:59

people what's going on in India so those of you who ain't familiar let me sum it up for you bring you up to speed on on the avoir right people all right so at the same time let's see if I can bring up all right there they are I can see now that's much better right so what is going on what is going on so those of

18:38

you that are those of you that are unaware of the Indian situation right now so let me just bring you up to speed people a revolution is potentially underway those of you are familiar with the CAA the citizens Amendment Act or citizens Amendment Act that's been passed in India and the NRC than the National Register database or Department

19:17

or whatever is sorry the Council NRC what these things are let me give you a very brief summary India as you're familiar under the BJP has really I mean began gradually drifting towards the far-right Hindutva hardcore hinduism but then it moved beyond that it went from Hindutva to so it went from Hindutva to just an absolute series like we're

19:54

talking like far out far-right nazi-like policies that have been put into place now on and these have now been somewhat normalized okay so people are just accepting them as normal they're saying well you know and it began with things like let's say very early on meddling with Muslim Affairs things like the you're not allowed to eat beef you're not allowed to the beef barn you're not allowed to have cattle in that way you've got to so it began with this kind of stuff than the lynching of Muslims

20:33

then it went on to things like it went on to dealing with the three thalaaq issue which is the triple de l'Arc like legislating for that then they went on to the the ROM on their case and so many things but now they've come up with this so what is this well it begins with there's a part of on the east of India which is called Assam major region now it's got a lot of asylum seekers and refugees and things like that there so they assumed a lot of them are Muslim because many have fled

21:11

Rohingya now they came up with this thing that we want to register everyone and you will only be given you'll be entitled to stay so in this country so long as you are have documents and can prove yourself that you know you're legal in this country if you're illegal we're gonna send you back but then what happened as it transpired out of I think there were like two million refugees that in Assam around that region approximate give or take maybe a bit more now they then realized that Oh almost seventy percent of all of these were

21:48

actually Hindu so it's like okay that backfire because they were expecting them to be Muslim so they could send them back but even though many were Muslim but the majority the overwhelming majority were not Muslim they were Hindu so then they passed this bill called the citizens Amendment Act where they've said that look okay if you are in this country and you don't have documents we will provide documents and provide citizenship for you if you're persecuted or whatever so long as you are and

22:27

they've mentioned you know you're from these countries you're suffering whatever and you are Christian Hindu Sikh Jain Buddhist these things except Muslim except Muslim so they just singled out Muslim said so long as you know Muslims know but so long as you're any of the others will give that to you now the problem doesn't stop there it further stretches on to you see this NRC this National Register is then folded rolled out throughout the entire or and its plan to roll out through

23:05

the entire country throughout India and the same rule applies it doesn't matter if your parents are born in here in this country you have to prove through documentation that you are Indian now you have to remember that with the majority over 60% of India is in extreme poverty and a huge percentage of people live in slums you can't expect these people to have paperwork but they've then said the same rule of the citizen Amendment Act applies oh you haven't got paperwork that's okay we will provide paperwork for you so

23:44

long as you are Hindu Jain Sikh Buddhist Christian but not Muslim so what on earth what what are people supposed to do so if you've got people living in the slums whose grandparents great-grandparents lived in India all day lives as far as they know they've always as far as they know I mean maybe you know five eight hundred years ago somebody migrated from someone but as far as they're away but they don't have paperwork so the government's saying don't worry we will provide you with it so long as you're not Muslim

24:22

I laugh at these people and it's not a laughing matter it's I laugh at the audacity that they've had to come out and say that in public in front of the international media and the country is up in arms people dish some cut man it's on big problem people big problem so there's a huge from this trial I mean this this the you know protests everywhere in Delhi in different cities you've got people protesting they've got like and

25:01

this has been so much going on these are all kinds of people are protesting Hindus Christians Sikhs Muslims Jane people are saying that because India is a secular country that how can you be know what the hell are you doing to this country and they've built in Assam they've built concentration camps for the Muslims it's like what the hell is going on people in almost 2020 we've got this going on so that's some of the unfortunate things that are going on it came across

25:39

actually people I'm upping the game now I'm upping the game let me see if I can can your chili dannika hum Neos option Co Minh sir nahi kiya or you see the leaking o'clock set you see galaxy

26:18

that's people that sums it up that's the sentiment of the people so as you can see that is what people are experiencing they're feeling that look this you know how can you check us out of our own country they're saying that this this is that everybody fought for this country you know this the poet says sub Kahuna shamil here is Mickey man everybody's

26:55

blood is has been soaked by this soil KCK popke Hindustan Tory hair in Dory's that he said this ain't your dad's India so people that's I thought that was very important to touch upon so what else is going on people what else is going on on memento let me just just bring this up to this that's good

27:30

all right so somebody saying right so right now what else RBI will be discussing today's one the whole Christmas thing in a bit of depth what is the backdrop is participating in Christmas Haram Christmas trees Santa Claus all these kind of things

28:19

so now I'll be discussing that and how because it has a Christian origin to it how does that complicate matters does it complicate matters if so so these are things we'll be looking at right what else people what else I'll also want to share a few words on there's a person who's been condemned in Pakistan under blasphemy just this month to death Junaid Hafiz I believe his name is so

28:57

that's something I'd like to share a few thoughts on as well but as always let's take a look at your at your questions people right so right now are you going to do a review of the late Patricia chromes works I have been dealing with some of the issues of what Patricia Chrome has been saying I actually admire these people's works and I'm not insecure you know the problem is that

29:36

you see many Muslims and many people of religion and this isn't exclusive for Islam many people of religion become incredibly insecure when somebody challenges their faith now we have to remember that right we have to remember that a person our skills are only as

30:12

good as our adversaries okay a worthy opponent a worthy adversary is incredibly admirable honestly it really ups your game in coming in facing the fact you just need the courage and the determination to stand up and face challenges I love the challenges that these people have presented to Islam because it's forced me as a person to to really evaluate things to look at

30:50

things in such depth to analyze to to kind of have to synthesize different reports together to revisit my understanding and interpretation and on some occasions have to edit it because I've come to realize oh well hmm they seem to have a point on some things and on other things you understand that well there must be an explanation to what to all of these so I have been answering quite a few of the the things that Patricia Kron and other people have looked at I'm Patricia Chrome although she was early on she was

31:29

a part of the whole Hagar ISM movement but in her later years like I think she passes she passed away maybe 2015 or something like that but in the last decade of her life her works were incredibly powerful and they weren't this kind of the early Hagar ISM that began in the 60s okay oh sorry in the 70s Hagar ISM was initially a movement by slum revisionists saying that Islam was in essence a an offshoot of Judaism if you like and so it was in essence a

32:08

kind of it was Judaism if in in kind of vague words that's what they saying not that it becames it was a separate thing following on it was actually a type of Jews that just began a slightly separate practice which later on in the time of later Umayyad caliphs and Abbasid caliphs was rebranded as Islam so this was Hagar ISM in its early kind of form although the people the proponents of Hagar ISM and the reason Hagar is obviously Hodja in

32:46

you know from Abraham from the mother of a smile and that's why Hagar ISM they called it but to be fair they this was like I think in the late 70s they were saying things like this Hagar ISM and and and although they were soul and principles remain the same so their principles were we will only accept from Islam that which can be substantially or objectively in a loose sense using the word objectively like anthropologically or archaeologically or through nonpartisan representation can be proved

33:24

so for example will we accept the prophet muhammad sallallahu lism existed they said we will we won't accept muslim sources because they're biased we will only accept proof like if you can bring me a queen or you can bring an inscription in a rock or you can bring something and first they couldn't bring anything so base so there was questions that did the Prophet even exist later on they did find people found Byzantine reports Byzantine historians and another non Muslim historians who were contemporaneous with the Prophet although they may have written this maybe one or two years after the Prophet had passed but they were people who

34:03

lived the same time contemporary to the Prophet who mentioned the Prophet they I mean some of them may not mention him in positive light but they mentioned him so a Byzantine historian writes that oh there's this person Muhammad who is an Arab and he has he describes him as an Arab reader he says he's a Raider and he has his these kind of Arab vigilantes with him and so on and so one person although he doesn't speak of him positively he's a Byzantine and he's also speaking of him as though he's still alive and this is when the Prophet has passed maybe just two years prior to

34:42

that so it's interesting that the news hadn't reached these people or these people weren't clear whether the Prophet was still alive worried past but they'd heard of him and likewise there's another report of the Prophet as well from a non Muslim source so because these are nonpartisan sources the words can be taken you know it reinforces the narrative that this person existed so Patricia Crone as an example said that I have no doubt that the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu live Salim existed because it's impossible that these people Co conspired

35:18

especially the non-muslims so and some people really have this like I said this hatred for in her last few years she was if I recall correctly from what I read and I've watched some of her interviews and I've read quite a few of her journals and stuff I've even got some I bought some as well so she she was diagnosed with cancer I believe and then passed away after a few years now I heard some ways some Muslims celebrating you know Thal thank God she died and her

35:54

honestly so embarrassing it's so so embarrassing you know this is why you know what is wrong with Muslims honestly like it is so petty and so dumb some people are like calm down for God's sake I mean if you have you know gumhead to some nail you know that's the thing if you've got the strength much her arguments with arguments much her opinions with opinions

36:33

I mean she's one woman for God's sake what you can't handle the opinions of a woman like why are you so petrified so I you know I this is why sometimes just left I have like mixed emotions like I'm kind of so disappointed and at the same time just amused who Kiera you know what's going on that why are you so so kind of flabbergasted and so so what let her say that best let her bring the best of her arguments

37:10

I'll meet them opinion with opinion hamsa hotus omnia that's that you don't having security having confidence in what you believe so yeah so I I appreciate that these people because they've upped the game honestly that if you read some of her stuff it goes to show that okay we've got to reevaluate some nuances like so for example when I've mentioned in the past that Makkah was not a signal like a significant city

37:49

contrary to what we've thought it was it was most likely like a very small town that was much smaller than we think it was and it wasn't really on the radar in Arabia it was like something very small and unknown I think I may have given an example like saying if you look at England for example of the UK the we our picture of Makkah is like saying it must have been one of the major cities like like equivalent like in the UK you're gonna say something like whether it's gonna be London Birmingham Manchester even Glasgow or something of great

38:28

prominence that people would have all heard of Cardiff but actually it tri transpires that it was most likely nothing like this it was a very small invisible kind of town maybe it's like saying within the UK something like Dudley you're read each or something which no unless you were really from there if you were an outsider you wouldn't really know about it so it's and the reason I say this is because and this is a lot of this the evidence has been brought forward by people like

39:06

Patricia Crone and other people and it's evidence you can't really walk away from you know the fact that they have dug up the trade routes Mirko was not on any trade route but if was however Haber was Medina which is yes it was but Makkah was not in fact Makkah as an name doesn't even really appear on any map pre Islam then there is that you know that McRobbie whatever there is a which some people feel may have been referring to makkah may have but so I feel that these things can't be ignored the fact that also it's I mean this is a

39:44

different issue now but it's disappointing that we don't have any archaeological evidence from Makkah itself which is a shame really and if anything we can just blame the Saudis because you know because this is something that the Islam revisionists and Orientalists and Islamophobes and these people keep saying that why the hell hasn't Makkah got any archaeological findings and you're thinking yeah that's because I don't know Saudi doesn't really seem to support it it doesn't seem to allow it yeah I don't know I mean it's it's a huge problem though but yeah so these so

40:24

like I said I do welcome any criticisms people have and I feel that we can meet them with strength to me I'm secure in my faith my faith is built on reason it's not built on blind faith so I'm secure that it can stand the test it has stood the test of time and it can stand the criticisms right so what's this right I don't know somebody is saying right somebody asked

41:04

what about the stories of pre-islamic pilgrimage to the Kaaba I think there were some they never I don't think they really used to come to the Kaaba like that I think they used to come close to Mecca they did used to come to our afar that part is true and people probably some people did come to Makkah but it wasn't on the scale that we imagined so it was a Kaaba but we have to remember there were about 20 gathers in in the era in Arabia so Amica I don't think was a massively

41:40

prominent one at all I think with a [ __ ] was my garage kind of were self-conceited about it like they you know is their thing and they thought that this is so amazing to us but I think to other people it may not have been all that so but yeah but a lot of history is obviously being written through the perspective of Quraysh so we don't really know sometimes what other people felt because we're not really looking at history through how did Bernie Tamim for example really view I don't think they viewed it all that but

42:18

from some of the findings we do find but yeah so this this is interesting stuff anyway somebody has asked is hark has asked that what about the hadith meant the Shabab a foaming man tashabbaha koban for home in home right so I've got a very I've got a an incredible video clip for you people it's on YouTube it's called the war wager paradox hadith

42:57

so I'd like you to after today's today's live episode do go on my youtube channel and you can you can obviously click like click share people right spread the love and the fitting and facade but if you search on there for the war wager paradox so it's called a war wager hadith paradox and what I explained through that is I bring forward a paradox in hadith studies using this very hadith of I have been commanded to

43:36

fight people because this hadith is claimed to be motivated and the paradox is that if it be mata water then nobody embraces it which kind of leaves you stuck that they don't embrace it because they say couldn't have meant what it says but then they argue that what is said is so well established so if it's so well established they can't be any doubt about it but that provides a meaning and the meaning they say well no it can't mean that so we can't accept the meaning it must have meant a

44:14

different meaning which then questions the whole concept of hadith to ahtur and hadith establishment so I I feel that that's a quite an interesting clip I've got they do check it out people right know what is going on let's take a look somebody asked why are Muslims so why do they get so happy about

44:43

let me prophet said why will Muslims be happy knowing kafar will burn in hell forever I actually agree with you that that is not a not a Islamically endorsed sentiment ok it is not from the character of the Prophet it is not from the teachings of the Prophet and it's not taught in the Quran either encouraged like that but for some reason based on

45:21

you know compound ignorance Muslims and this is religious people in general they become incredibly bigoted and they can start saying that this is some people I'm not saying all people are like this but a lot of religious people can become like that that they talk dogmatism that only you are gonna make it and everybody else is gonna burn in hell so what what to do is they say that oh yeah I mean and they sorry they see this as a way to make themselves feel good that ha you

45:58

know you might be loving life right now but you're gonna burn in the afterlife right I mean what what does that seriously mean that's just crazy I mean these kind of things I find it totally crazy honestly so this this is not something you know it's like Allah says in the Quran and the ironies in the Quran Allah actually mocks and ridiculed some of the Jewish people of the time for saying that for having this

46:37

sentiment that you know that Allah says that have you it hurt them in the law what why don't you know have you taken a a promise from Allah have you kind of got a me thuk from Allah covenant have you you know what what are you so happy about and so sure of yourselves you know that you feel that other people will all burn whilst you'll be salvaged that what what makes you think this so you know Allah says of the hurt to mind Allah he added now you know have you taken this

47:17

this kind of AD according to Allah so this yeah I mean this attitude is wrong I condemn that mr. carne has asked that the real Mount Sinai please rather you can watch my clip on YouTube the real Mount Sinai most likely is in Northwest Arabia and this a difference of opinion what it may exactly be most likely perhaps jebel burdah or one of these but it's a volcano that is in northwest Africa

47:55

sorry Northwest arabia not in the Sinai Peninsula the Sinai Peninsula is posthumous it's kind of retrospectively eponymous you think Musti does not know the big words so it's named after Mount Sinai hence it's called the Sinai Peninsula but it's done later it's a retrospective retro ejected kaha

48:30

crtl fast Lord lot of mercy right so this people is so just because it's called the Sinai Peninsula but that was named in I believe it was the third century after Christ so you know it's a long time after Moses number lists

49:02

somebody said have you stopped indexing your videos I haven't but last weeks there was an issue it will be done on carry on carry people on curry so what is what's going on people what's going on to deal with what are some questions that people have posted beforehand let's go to your pre submitted questions people please submitted you know this one what's your opinion on the virgin birth

49:39

of Jesus fact or fiction you see people Nabil Mohamed Mahmoud Sri has asked an important question I've got a video clip do watch it I go into much detail in that clip cool it's just if you just search the keywords that virgin birth with my name now I just want to say here on a tangent let me just go off on a little tangent people

50:10

yeah for the love of God people don't hold on to your brain cells that much as an investment use them you know I'll have the amount of people I have sometimes messaging me and they'll say mostly you have you you know what's this question and I'll say that oh I've got a clip on that on YouTube if you check it so they'll say oh to find it oh do not avoid it

50:43

hmm typing musty a bullet I'm the key word Oh honestly for God's sake you seriously can't be that incapable and incompetent in life just tell me you're not that incompetent in the inky I mean what is this is everybody from like set eight from school are they have they just kind of multiplied the earth and it's just like everywhere so people stop

51:23

being so dumb right it's embarrassing honestly like I can understand if it's complicated but just use a keyword and just search search YouTube my website will also be it's it's under way we're probably about maybe about 40 percent complete on the website so we're on Phase two right now so there's going to be probably another phase phase three and then we're gonna have it launched properly so we've completed phase one phase and that will have a search option that you can just search the words and the videos will show up but right now you can do the same thing on my youtube

52:02

channel so there's nothing to worry about people tranquila tranquila okay right there is help there is help so coming back to this question on the virgin birth Miriam alehissalaam now although many Muslims have felt that Miriam was a virgin when she gave birth they've really taken this view as influenced by the Christian narrative the Quran seems to take a very vague stance on this and it seems to almost it doesn't affirm

52:40

that virgin it doesn't state anyway that verge that Mary was alaysalam was a virgin but it one could say you could infer by reading in the gaps you could find something that would support the Christian narrative now an important question is why would the or undo this why because why not just very clearly dispel this notion and I felt that one of the reasons it didn't affirm it because it wasn't true but it didn't

53:17

deny it because boy didn't condemn it sorry because it was trying to build bridges with the Christian community so it felt that this was too central a theme at that stage in the early developmental phase of Islam to kind of condemn so it was better to just leave it this is my understanding this is why I feel the quarantine tackle it because it wouldn't have it's not like it would have added anything of much value for Muslims and if anything it would have

53:54

just burnt the bridge with Christians so it Lefty now the Quran does not actually mention any way that Mary was a virgin although people infer that so when she says to the angel in the story that in the Koran that I have not been touched and he says but such has God decreed that you will have a child so they then assume most I'm of a city not all but most that oh so it must have happened as a miracle without any male intervention whereas the same kind of

54:34

scenario is said to two other prophets in the Quran so like Zechariah his wife says the same thing she's similar things she's promised by an angel that you will get a have a child and she's saying but I'm barren how can I have a child and the angel says well such as God decreed and then it says she has a child but nobody assumes with Zechariah that oh it was miraculous because we don't have a narrative to support that anyway so people don't don't assume that then the same story is said about Abraham and how his wife has reached old age you

55:12

know beloved terminal kyriaki yeah that I've reached this old age how can I have a child she says to thee the angel response the response that that is that is what God has decreed and then it says she has a child but nobody seems that with Abraham it was no male intervention either but when Mary says it and the angel says that is what God has decreed they assume oh there was no male intervention but the question is why not of course there was it would have been Joseph who was the husband of Mary and

55:47

this view that it was natural that Jesus was a natural child is the view of several mother sitting and great scholars of Islam especially in recent times who I often quote I've got hold of his stuff Steve now Maulana Abdul Karim Allah Theory writes that in his tough seed his teacher who is chef in Ayatollah was either body or Gujarati from the Pakistan side of keturah or known as zero body he has a book I mean these people have passed you know mid last century but he has a book on it called

56:27

you know zimzam he will add the Tecna Miriam we he argues this whole point then you've got a great scholars like a llama termina Matty who wrote the same thing that Jesus had a natural birth you've heard from India people like Cecilia Dartmouth who had said a similar thing you've had many people who have said these kind of things from the SUNY

56:56

platform so it's not something really it makes no difference to a person's Islam you know if Jesus had a dad or he didn't have a dad it makes no like your Islam doesn't change in any way but that said from a common sense perspective and a reason based perspective and a purely evidence purely from the or a Muslim we understand that there's nothing that actually says that Jesus was born without a father now the verse that people use of Adam that when they did

57:33

ask you see this is it that the [ __ ] response rather enigmatically like as a puzzle it doesn't it could have just clearly said Jesus didn't have a dad you know he said Allah meeya kun level up it could have said that but it didn't it just says method or assign the like Maithili Adam the the thing of a size like Adam Hanukkah home in Torah he created him from soil but Jesus was not created from soil and Jesus definitely had a mom so that means either must have had a mom and it says well comment or up he created him from soil so my father like own fire cone and then he said be and it is but tell me why create from

58:13

soil if you're gonna say be why not just say be and it is why create and then say be you see so in that it's upon pondering that everything opens up that you realize ah well it doesn't actually mean what I so naively thought it to me so these things are definitely worth considering cool right now is there a right to bear arms in Islam Antony Gloria oh is it just me or does

58:52

that sound like somebody that's gonna go shoot up a cinema hall right so all right so the I mean this question of bearing arms I mean I think Islam definitely allows self-defense but these are more political issues today because they've been politicized so depend on the nation and so on somebody said Adam had among you okay

59:31

moved aside I'm not saying that the Quran is saying that I mean I don't know are you okay with the Quran it's not me so the Quran is saying that you know Adam is just like Jesus so unless Jesus didn't have a mom either so oh what about the other verse where Allah says about in son about Adam and then Adam was a drop of sperm that was placed in a womb what womb was he placed in infini was obviously that's a verse of the Quran so if you want more detail on that watch my clip on evolution in

1:00:10

the Quran explained so do watch that you see that the problem is that you know a lot of us are so far behind on religion we're so far behind it's unfortunate guys but I think there's gonna be many of you that this ain't really for you you're just gonna have to kind of die out it's gonna be for your children we're gonna really grasp it you guys are kind of like extras

1:00:50

so you just there as a number you'd like an extra credit don't worry this comes in a yoga able to do this you just mm you know like this is a term in mere purie koena we are gonna do it um see now hope I you know this this is slightly above you know your intellect

1:01:22

level so right now yes so somebody said the verse says in son and I've got that in my so if you watch my clip on YouTube about evolution I've mentioned all them of a serine it actually says clearly says walaqad her Latin al-insana it mentions mean solar Latin main theme we created him from clay and they all say in Sun here is referring to Adam and

1:01:58

then it says somebody all na who then we placed him so so exactly some what is the who is the him so when it mentions yes we created him insularity maintained so much I'll now who not Fatima in Mahane that we turned them we made him into a drop of of semen and then you know so much I'll know if you karate McKean and so on and so here I mentioned

1:02:37

the more fussing in like poverty and so on and they were many that said that some try to say oh now here who means normal humans but not Adam and others who said no but it's referring back to it's it's it's the antecedent it's referring back to he if I say we created man from this and then we placed him why not say then we place mankind say then we placed him say over I don't mean him I'm just saying him yeah you came calorie look at that then you're saying God is misleading us on purpose you know

1:03:15

he say God saying I created in CERN from clay then I placed him are you following I placed him in the womb so where did I play since I'm in a room people say so who did I create from soil from clay Adam where did I place him and I will come far who said who said that that him was him

1:03:44

Giles Giles don't even know that him can be another him that I've got in my mind [Laughter] what is this game so that's just that's just dumb that's saying globs trying to set us up for a fall and then not to allegedly cook for so God's trying to set us up to fall into Kafar that's just ridiculous obviously these are this is the or I'm saying this you know we placed him in then you're saying that him is not him

1:04:23

that him is a different him how many dads of you got this is the father of mankind this him who's Adam and losing is another him ya Salam this is on too much you know too much lot lot of mercy have mercy on this Ummah right so what's going on people what's going on so right

1:05:03

somebody said if Adam had a mother wouldn't she have been mentioned okay so who put because Mary is integral to the story of Jesus which other prophets moms are mentioned in the Quran tell me that's like if somebody said oh if the Prophet Muhammad's Allah Islam had parents then surely they would be mentioned in the Quran I mean why why would they be mentioned in the Quran yeah but if if they don't mention the

1:05:42

Quran and they couldn't have existed sorry the Quran in a collection of biographies it's like I'm sorry if Moses had a dad then he must be mentioned in the Quran it's like well no a cha-cha-cha-cha genius this one genius nice this on this on Einstein anyway god

1:06:16

it's amazing honestly this prophet this oh my is [ __ ] an inbred unfortunately you know what we need to stop all these inter cousin marriages this one's getting to it's it's been too much damage to the gene pool you know this one and the worst part is you know the worst part isn't some people are a bit kind of you know the worst part is that the ones that are a bit they

1:06:56

actually think the Einsteins they think they the geniuses and they think other people don't get it they like mmm people so dumb like anyway let's move on what else what

1:07:36

is going on was Eve created from Adams a lot of evolution questions today Eve wasn't created from Adam that's just a kind of allegory just to kind of show that look man and woman are inextricably bound together it's an allegory people Alegria Giles you know the problem with speaking to someone and with eloquence is they can't understand what on earth you saying they like the dirt - OH crude from rib Oh rib look tell me

1:08:14

something in the Quran in the Quran not once is Eve named not once he's named a single time in the Quran why do we not know who Eve was well why isn't even named in the Quran not once not a single time and there are five verses cinco

1:08:51

cinco people palabra ly the palabra del del signore there's five verses people that speak of all mankind we created you from a pair yeah now that we created you for sorry from a soul or a kind and then created its partner from there and then from there we sent forth many a man and woman now never does it say in those verses Adam never these five verses then in the Quran never says it says

1:09:30

colonic you mean nafs him Waheeda never says men Adam and here Adam is mentioned so many times in the Quran Adams not a like it's not a shy name in the Quran it's mentioned the story of Adam on several occasions and whenever Adam is mentioned it mentions a partner that he had but never mentions Eve por que por que muchachos porque right so that's because this Eve character is biblical right so even exist like that now the

1:10:09

truth is Adam alehsalaam would have would have had multiple partners who were already in existence and they would have had children this is how they would have brought you know this is how they would have populated the earth as in with how modern Homo sapiens so anatomically advanced you know cognitive revolutionized Homo sapiens because it would have been you would have had normal Homo sapiens anyway but they just didn't have the same level of cognitive revolution which Adam would have had and so he would have populated

1:10:49

it would have been his offspring that continued with this car with the cog Rev people the cognitive revolution so this is why the Quran never mentions Eve ever because it's not because there was no one Eve like that even today in if you look at science the human genome project will show you that it is true we do go back what they call the chromosomal Adam and the chromosomal Eve but they are like 70 thousand years apart they're not together so people learn science you know this one

1:11:29

but anyway somebody said you're rationalizing Islam beyond recognition am i or am I just recognizing it from your irrational ization of it it's true what makes you think that your understanding of Islam is correct I know what makes you think it's true because you've been told that so the difference is I know something you only know what you're being told to know tell it's my diferente you know there's this quite

1:12:08

different people so this is why I would say that these things are definitely worth investigating worth learning and we need to move away from folklore we need to move away from this kind of irrationality we need to move away from this blind faith to a faith which is of Islam which the faith of fitara which is built upon reason okay right right sorry it is the the mitochondrial mitochondrial Eve sorry somebody said the chromosomal you said chromosomal

1:12:46

Adam and chromosomal Eve might can mitochondrial Eve that's correct but what I meant to say is the Adam and Eve of science that the human genome project has has demonstrated or not the kind of pay within religious texts these are very separate individuals that were probably like 70,000 years if not more apart so they're not the same so just to kind of be wary that's all that don't think this Adam and Eve thing that we've got today is more biblical which we've

1:13:23

kind of inherited Islam has acknowledged some of it like Adam it hasn't really acknowledged Eve not in the Quran anyway I know in some hadith it mentions things like this but most of those hadith are either made up or they passed on from that speaker V from the Jewish traditions but Islam in and of itself it wouldn't make sense to miss something like that when the story of Adam is being mentioned on so many occasions in so much detail in the quran so yeah right so okay what

1:14:00

else is going on Musti the stoning question stoning stoning question stunning Hasaan Waleed is back they say Adam whatever 80,000 malt or how could they be sent it all to pardon me see this this is why you gotta give it now you know the committed you get the set eight but they committed their

1:14:39

like committed to the course through and through why do you read science the you're talking about eighty thousand years ago is the cognitive revolution which I would agree with but it's not what they're speaking about in terms of the way they're placing the I mean it dip like first of all the terms that science uses like chromosomal Adam this is just they've just used that just because the name Adam is popular from religious sources they're not obviously trying to fit the religious narrative so I think

1:15:18

there's a misunderstanding here you you think that scientists are trying to tell you how Adam was they're not they've just used the term Adam they don't mean the actual Adam from the Bible they've just said that we the chromosome seems to have appeared from so so they've called it the chromosomal Adam homo sapiens have probably been around now with the latest findings two hundred to three hundred thousand years but the cognitive revolution has only taken place probably about seventy eighty thousand years ago so I would feel that the Cronk the cognitive revolution was Adam Allison that's my understanding and

1:15:55

because there were plenty of Homo sapiens around anyway at that stage so he would have mated with other Homo sapiens so that you know it makes perfect sense as to your version let's say we he always they gave birth the same day and they always had twins and all this incest going on and he's marrying his own sister and he's my she's marrying your own brother and then they're producing children and this kind of stuff so rather than that this version actually makes a lot more sense this is the not

1:16:30

the Hills Have Eyes version the the inbred folks circle this one is actually dignifying some people they can't handle dignity you know this one right so right somebody had asked the question about stoning I've mentioned that there is no stoning like that in Islam I've got a detailed clip on it if you watch my clip on trajectory hermeneutics I explained

1:17:08

that look the the stoning element were it be true is in in the hadith it clearly mentions the Prophet said to the Jewish people about ruling by their law and scripture which mentions stoning the Quran clearly does not mention anything to do with stoning there's no such thing in the Quran and that was simply the Jewish scripture which is still in the Bible by the way that the Prophet they wanted to rule by their scripture so and the Prophet let it be now some people say that the Prophet because he had

1:17:46

adopted the Jewish customs until Islam was being revealed and completed so they would have been a moment of time where he may have embraced this the Penal Code as well from the Jewish scribes but once the verse of the Quran came down that would have been abrogated so the verse of the Koran spoke of lashing now I have mentioned how many later scholars like the great Maliki scholar from over 600 years of a gob of Kozma Bertolli who was the shyffilis lamp in his time gave the that the objectives of the Sharia have changed and therefore the ha dude have

1:18:25

changed and by the demand of the Sharia at the Sharia itself mandates a change in the who dude so he and he was said based on this and he implemented he was a judge of his era he changed the who due to financial penalties this was followed on after him for generations in northwest Africa and around the same time in the east you had the Ottoman Sultan known as Solomon is kanuni the law maker why is equal to only because he changed he said the Haddad need to change and

1:19:04

the Ottoman Empire changed the all of these things to different pin or codes like imprisonment and fines and things like that so this this is nothing new you understand so it may be new to you because you just but that's just an argument from ignorance everything you don't know is new I suppose so to you but I leave my home and I live majaa HeLa homenaje Allah Allah he who knows it knows it and he

1:19:38

who is ignorant remains ignorant so all right so somebody said if you mock and ridicule these inbred people you will contribute little in reforming attrition I'm not mocking them they're mocking themselves I'm just celebrating the sense of the contribution to mankind as

1:20:13

humor you know this case of Junaid Hafiz who is a who was a Pakistani lecturer at I believe it was called bahah Zak bajo DeAnza Korea University in Multan now this he has been sentenced to death just this in December 2019 on blasphemy on grounds of blasphemy in

1:20:50

Pakistan he he was under imprisonment from 2013 and a little backdrop to who this guy is just I mean you can watch more detail about him online is he somebody I suppose traditional born and raised in Pakistan if with some loose sense of tradition there it wasn't necessarily that religious he was very talented somebody who embarked on a medical kind of career sorry not career academic pursuit he stopped studying

1:21:28

medicine then he became infatuated with literature he studied poetry Keats and other poets and was very fascinated by them traveled to America did his degree of their came back taught in Pakistan Punjab within the universities in Punjab within this modern University maybe some other places as well and here he started to face a lot of criticism by some religious groups who some of these mullah type of people who were very kind of saying that all these guys to secular is pushing for secular values is against

1:22:07

the Quran is against this is against that they attributed a Facebook page to him which he may have been responsible for I don't know I think he denied it but even if he was responsible for it I think it was called like mad Milazzo mullah munafiq sorry mullah Monica the hypocrite mullahs and then they actually did some other pages to him which were ridiculing let's say arguably they claimed that they were ridiculing the Prophet or Islam but as far as I'm aware none of these will prove

1:22:46

to be his like they couldn't prove that these were that this page or blog or whatever it was actually belonged to him so one is you know you could go to his his desktop and you've got it there it wasn't like that they didn't have proof like that but they just said that you know the circumstantial evidence shows that look this guy post is this this page post this as well blah blah blah whatever is and they've kind of like circumstantially matched it up and said well you know this guy has blaspheme so he was arrested in 2013 I think he challenged it by trying to say things like look because the website that they

1:23:25

accused continue to remain active even after he's detained sorry that was his legal point that if it's me then how is it still going on while I'm inside prison so he was detained placed in isolated confinement and he was first represented see he finding representation was difficult he initially got hold of a barrister who then kind of left him because of too much social pressure for trying to defend somebody who is a co-star you know blasphemes against the Prophet he then found another person who was the

1:24:04

head of the Charity Commission Human Rights Commission sorry I believe in Punjab who represented him and fought his case and was threatened with him within the actual court like in front of the judge he was told that look by the other opposing prosecution that look if you carry on you're not even going to be alive for his trial and the I'm before you know it within the subsequent you know coming that coming here or so on he was gunned down in his office the solicitor the the Human Rights chair was gunned down right

1:24:43

so I think that may have been around 2015 and then he he's obviously this person Genovese is left with no representation and I think they've tried this you know they weren't that wealthy I think they sold things the family tried to get ripped presentation it was difficult and then just this month in December 2019 the courts sentenced him to death right now I wanna share my thoughts on this okay now first of all I want to share my thoughts based on let's say he did say

1:25:21

these things let's say he did question the Prophet and he did question and even let's say he was sarcastic to the Prophet or things like this let's go with that argument even though I feel that you can't these are such heavy things to levy against someone without true objective irrefutable evidence and just you see because these things are based on intention a lot of these things and to say well now you know to prove that it's very difficult but anyway let's for the sake of argument go with the fact that he did say let's say he

1:25:59

did and he I don't know exactly what those things were there I haven't disclosed them now does questioning Islam or even ridiculing Islam mandate a an execution a death sentence we do we get this farm who told us was the Prophet not insulted in his own day and age by people how did the Prophet respond did the Prophet respond by saying

1:26:32

execute him how do people today play God the Quran clearly mentioned like Rafi Deen there is no compulsion in matters of the deed if a person doesn't want to be Muslim let's say a person doesn't believe in Islam if he doesn't believe or she doesn't believe that's their choice you know who the hell are you to impose it on them if God Himself God Almighty does not impose religion on people who the hell are you to impose it

1:27:12

you know God people are free choice then you can take your ridiculous sense of divinity and shove it where the Sun don't shine because how do you have the right to do that so this I feel is such a slap in the face of Islam in this day and age people we feel not check this out we feel that we have the right to criticize other religions the irony so we can so let's say people I say Hindus right next

1:27:49

door to Pakistan India we can mock or ridicule Hanuman for being a monkey guard and Ganesh for being an elephant head God we can really kill these things oh that's okay we can ridicule statues and we can ridicule the concept of let's say you know reincarnation or we can ridicule these things oh that's okay because we're just basing our reason oh you do it you have to be executed what kind of a ridiculous absurd insecure

1:28:27

common sense is that this is utterly unacceptable and you know what they do they these people throw the Koran metaphorically they slam it against the wall based on what one hadith from Bihari the hadith Bingman but the ladina who [ __ ] aloo yeah this hadith that they are basing on I've got a whole clip dedicated to this please watch it called apostasy in Islam this hadith is being

1:29:06

transmitted by a karma a kromagg nomina a drama was a horrid and extremist these people hated sonali they hated mafia they used to call Ali Mar we are these people care fears how can you take your Deen from ager hill Akram are you basing the the words of the Prophet on a comma a fanatic Eve neuroma Road allow on wouldn't even go into the like he would be disgusted at

1:29:43

the sight of a trauma these are Imam Malik rejected this person's had he said this is a Kurama for God's sake and you guys want to take life which is sacred based on the words of some idiot eka rama who was a fanatic he wasn't just a regular cottage he was the from amongst the Messiah of the who are aged and the Huaraz according to the hadith and Bihari are the dogs of Hell fire this is what the hadith describes the mass and yet you take this person's

1:30:20

word over the word of God in the Quran bloody blind following a trauma who there what the hell is wrong with people you know so this is what they based their hope the whole argument is based on a comma his word a fanatic so but then they will say oh but our scholars accepted it oh you mean people from 1000 years ago ah so obviously they were gonna accept

1:31:00

it in the day and age that's because they didn't care the world was a very different place in the medieval world they don't really know they don't see a sense of loyalty to because they thought well in Christian countries Muslims get executed so here they can get executed who cares that's not that doesn't make it fear that's just the view of looking at the world they thought slavery was ok they thought rape was ok most of the books they say stealing from non Muslim lands is ok this is what they say even a taymiyah writes there's a Jamaa that if you snuck into you sneak into non-muslim territory whatever you steal is yours he

1:31:39

writes this Iijima of this Ummah oh that's nonsense just because in his day and age he probably thought it's okay doesn't make it okay these people are not God so you have a verse of the Quran saying like gravity even if a person I'm going with the augment I'm first of all I don't believe that we can prove these things are meant to be the heavy claims blasphemy you know the heavier the claim the heavier the burden of proof but even if for argument's sake the person did say it and he wasn't happy with Islam that's his choice is this now how you convince

1:32:19

people about Islam that all if you question it will kill you and what kind of insecurity is this like I said let them question bring the best questions you've got we will answer them I don't think I call I use that afraid of your own religion do you say are you that scared that it's false have some security of some assurity of your faith I've said bring the best questions you can against Islam bring them to me I will try to answer them I mean I'm you know I'm just one person

1:32:57

I'm sure there's you know countless geniuses out there who can do a much better job than me but I have that assurity that I would welcome criticisms from people towards Islam it doesn't damage my faith if anything it reinforces it because you see you're only as good as your adversary in your opponent because if you just used to always nobody can question me your faith is just blind Dogma so I was really hurt and disappointed to hear this kind of

1:33:37

nonsense going on in a country like Pakistan we in what is almost now twenty twenty seriously we need to move away from this kind of fanaticism we need to move away from dogmatism people mark my word unless you move to the voice of reason this faith will slip away from your very from the grasp and clasp of your fingers I tell you if you reach old age you will not have reached it without this faith having slipped away from you and you can kiss it goodbye from the younger generations

1:34:16

that is my word and I can swear on it by Allah that especially those living in the West that you can forget this faith if you're not prepared to meet the voice of reason if you're too scared too shallow too shy and coward in by anybody questioning your faith then this won't last it may just stubbornly be with you but it is not something that you'll be able to convey to the generations after you right because they won't accept this so

1:34:53

I so I mean I I do hope and pray that you know me people like him Ron Hahn intervene I don't know if he will because if he does it may trigger bloody civil on you know like a bloody civil war or something I don't know but it's it's really disappointing to hear this you know we need freedom of thought people if somebody wants to criticize the Quran criticize the Quran is not insecure it's not full of mistakes I I would say to somebody you know if you want to

1:35:30

question this question I want to believe in it so if you've got a really good question put it to me let me let me see what our question is if we cannot answer then you can say you know but I guarantee we will meet strength with strength in opinion I'm that sure of the faith so I don't so when people use force and brutality to kind of cement this faith it hurts me too because I think that do you see this it's because of these actions

1:36:08

that Islam as a whole is further kind of humiliated so yes I wanted to share that is it's some unfortunate news but you know I hope may you know inshaallah last there be a positive turn to the story cool let's take some other questions people right Oh somebody's asked about more interesting the death sentence of General Musharraf right shukran baby

1:36:46

lotion lotion yeah everybody's reading that the minds are like if we have to play word association this on big problem so baby lotion has asked for those of you by the way before I go on those of you wanting to find my response on the whole apostasy thing please just YouTube search on my channel on YouTube

1:37:24

my name multi-ball eighth and apostasy you can work apostasy Islam keywords people come on search it will come up right so right now this General Musharraf from Pakistan has been sentenced to a death sentence for God's sake what has happened to the courts in Pakistan and it gets better in a ridiculous way people the judge the

1:38:00

judge who one of the judges sorry I believe they were three judges that presided over the the case or whatever but one of them in his official Judiciary in his notes this is for more you know this is not like he's just on some post-it note or in a whatsapp chat group this is his faith is formal case summary notes his direction he gave his direction of what regarding the sentence the sentence they passed is they saying general pervez

1:38:40

musharraf because of his military coup d'etat that he conducted in the late 90s and took over the government and he jeopardized the lives of certain people and whatever it was there's some outstanding cases that this as a deterrent for further any other army generals in the future who may have certain ambitious intentions to to do a military coup we're giving him a death sentence right so there's that and then

1:39:17

one of the judges added he said the death sentence should be he should be hanged then his body dragged through the streets and he mentioned a particular famous square like a particular chalk and he said and then it should be dragged up to there and then hung in public for three days on public display [Music]

1:39:48

this is twenty nineteen coming to twenty twenty people test this judge live think he's has he been watching Vikings that much that he's kind of transported himself into Vikings of Game of Thrones [Music] has he forgotten is he going to role play what what is going on how can a judge a person so formally trained with

1:40:24

so much academic accolade arrive at a decision where he's going to put in formal writing as directions I think you should drag his dead body through the streets and hang it up in such-and-such square on public display for three days that's my academic contribution then we wonder why are people laughing at

1:41:00

Pakistan was 19 was it 1919 actually when Einstein had his his thing of general relativity had been affirmed and published it was around that time anyway so a hundred

1:41:38

years ago you've got Einstein people and he's come up with this and they've done this and they thought look wow you know look at this relativity and the way we've demonstrated light and at the time quantum physics is being kind of discovered and and all these things going on and World War one has just finished and people are thinking whoa what's going on I think you know what in a hundred years time though what we're setting up for people Wow where the academic thought is going to be in a hundred years from today then you fast forward a hundred years and you've got

1:42:14

this judge he's gone like he's he's in Reverse a thousand years I know and then we'll hang him up for three days on public display oh my god oh my god honestly I can't believe you know it's that ridiculous that it's making me laugh it's so dumb it's like the dumbest of the dumbest thing thank God there's been an outcry in Pakistan by

1:42:52

news anchors news you know news reporters by analysts by critics there's been an outcry saying as this judge lost his mind thank God that's the first thing secondly I think for God's sake I'm against all capital punishment I've got a clip on this I'm not pro capital punishment I don't believe this Sharia in this day and age would Monday capital punishment and although I accept that's a political debate and I accept that as you know that they may you know people would disagree with that

1:43:27

but I really feel that in this case trying to execute general pervez musharraf is ridiculous I mean Pakistan has worked so hard since Imran Khan to kind of try and build a reputable image in the international community this will just plummet the any reputation that they've built so far below any respectable line people that this is ridiculous you know so I don't know Allah you know you the world what is

1:44:05

happening to the world you know you've got that in Pakistan just when you think back Stan's improving and then across the border you've got India with the whole CIA and you know this debajo you know and here on this side Mulk it's like so I think yeah mmm yeah I mean I don't think they will let Musharraf hang if they do Pakistan is going to suffer economically massively I mean you know I think the international community will think that Pakistan ain't

1:44:44

going anyway forget investing so because they invest they'd actually been rising the GDP had been doing reasonably well since a rant on has come in right so right what's going on somebody said Musti the thing you said I said to you you the rationalism you stick to if you stick to this faith will slip out of your hands sure but you see I I was told this by

1:45:22

people who are dogmatists 20 years ago yeah 20 years ago I was told by people when I was still in madrasah that Mufti if you stick to the voice of reason you will become a car fill now so I said then as I say later on that Allah gave me a knuckle for a reason if he gave me a knuckle and then he's going to punish me for using it then to me that doesn't make any sense I will stick with the sound voice of reason which to me hopefully echoes a divine beast Almont

1:46:01

from God two decades later people I am still here many of those people who said to me about this about faith slipping away are in a crisis of faith many of them have come to me and asked me to now explain how do these things actually make sense you see this God will show you that day I tell you I to me I build my faith on reason I firmly plant it and I believe that that's how this faith is

1:46:39

meant to be you don't have to follow me you don't have to take my route I have no qualms whatsoever with people disagreeing with me I'm not insecure in the slightest you know me Aquila he gelato Johnny Damon Dillman log thought are take a or carve a bunt ugly now I set out alone on this journey of mine it's people who've joined me along the way and this has become a caravan i I don't you know it doesn't bother me at all if somebody has asked me that if you you know reason leads you away from faith

1:47:18

then fine you know but you see I'm not scared because I have I have trust that if God has given you the voice of reason things ought to make sense until today al hamdulillah there's not been a single challenge that I've not that to me Islam is not stood the test it has you know whether it's the miracles because I saw that actually a lot of people were there was a lot of guesswork going on the Quran wasn't actually saying much of what people made out they painted out

1:47:56

and actually what it says stands the absolute test so whether it was things like evolution whether it was things like science genetics whether it was things like and and many of these people today they you know and I can I'm certain in the next decade you know if I live that many more will come to me because you see you have to remember something it's not sometimes the ideas that change its the people this is why I know I said it earlier on is a joke I said that you guys are just extras you

1:48:36

know you guys are gonna have to die out unfortunately but unfortunately that's there's actually some reality to that you see beggars as it's been said by people it's not that opinions change but the people holding them just died and they're replaced with younger people with different you know different ideas and ideas that I echo definitely resonate with the younger generations because they can see because they brought up in a voice of reason and they can see this so it is a lifeline to so many people what I say so I hope that makes some sense

1:49:15

somebody said from hospital doors requested yes Salaam yes alarm bilal is in hospital Shafak Aloha [ __ ] now law give you a swift and complete recovery I mean right so right so let's all right let's move on somebody's asking a question about Christmas right let's move on what this on are there is easy oh I've got hold of

1:51:10

it look a bit current style people style right so flipping it back to taking this back I'm going to also you know I'm learning and trying to improve it every every week so this is like only my third show I think like this so it's it's coming along it's coming along pretty good actually I'd hamdallah but these things obviously take they do take time I'm just getting this here there you go

1:51:49

and I'm just gonna bring up the other chat as well the YouTube chat there is this backup right so oh and on YouTube people if you want to send a super sticker ah super chat me there you go you can send one right through if you want to support the channel go for it people long live stay blessed right now moving on to an important question there's Christmas what do we think about all of these right celebrating Christmas or just saying you know giving returning

1:52:28

greetings returning greetings of saying Merry Christmas people or setting up a Christmas tree or Santa Claus for the Christmas kind of thing gifts getting together on Christmas Day what do we think about all of this so let's take a look right so first of all I'd like to tackle this from a few perspectives let's look at the religious angle now I

1:53:05

understand that many people there just to be clear on the discussion here I do feel that all of these things are permissible okay that I've mentioned and I'm going to go into the detail and the evidences in just a moment but I'll begin by clarifying the mulk if okay the position that these things are permissible whether it's saying Merry Christmas Happy Christmas whether it's setting up a Christmas tree Santa Claus presents getting together even if people are having a meal on Christmas Day these kind of things I do feel they're permissible and that said I recognize

1:53:43

that many people unfortunately feel all of these things I've said are Haram okay they've said that not only are they Haram some of those people feel that they're qu4 as well that they desperately right so okay so I'm going to tackle some of these things and go through them just to give us an an idea okay now what I'd like to do is also I'd like to know okay here is I'd like to go

1:54:22

through as well the evidence is that these people would have I'm sorry I'm just bringing up here a list just to begin because I know a lot of people will object to what I'm about to say so first of all I'm not alone in saying these things I'd just like to for the greetings and saying things like you know Merry Christmas to non-muslims and stuff like this or just exchanging greetings not only is it an old opinion

1:55:01

from the humbly method one of the four schools of law within Sunni Sharia but it is also the opinion of you've got shaykh abdullah bin Beier has given that fatwa you've got sheikh ali al Jeffrey has given that fatwa you've got chef use of karna be sure I get the ground shake of al-azhar has given that fatwa Sheikh Ali Juma before him had given it share abdul Sattar side oh well as her i'd given that fatwa chef ahmed mondo we used the resident Mufti and head of research for derelicte in Egypt has given that fatwa

1:55:40

share sayeth the suti from Allah has given that fatwa chef Mustapha zarba has given that fatwa chef Rafi driba had given that fatwa share Pajaro Audrey from Pakistan has given that fatwa a llama Java dramedy sir has given that fatwa sure sure bossy from Egypt has given that fatwa sure I'm a baker from the UK has given that fatwa these are just to name a few and then of course last but not least heels truly has given that fatwa

1:56:18

so so people just to show first of all that there is that there that there are many Allah ma who have said this is permissible so I'm not alone in that but I want to go through some of the arguments on why on those people who've challenged it as being Haram so first of all let's look at the religiosity they've said well Christians claim that Jesus was born on this day so ok the birth of Jesus now we know although that isn't factually accurate but let's say this is a day in its origin commemorative of the birth of

1:56:56

Jesus Christ now ok ELISA Lam now let's look at the Quran what is the attitude of the Quran towards the birth of Jesus Christ now they ask you the Quran quotes the words of Allah or that salam on Aoyama will it - may they be peace and blessings upon me the day i was born jesus said so the quran doesn't seem to if anything it seems to you know partake in celebrating that Jesus was born so ok so the birth of Jesus in and of itself can't seem to be a problem because and

1:57:35

the Quran seems to recognize his birth as a blessing so he said well hmm that's ok but the Christians when they say Jesus was born they don't mean Jesus the way we mean Jesus they mean Jesus the Son of God so you say ok ok that's their understanding so they say yeah of course they said but what we don't ascribe to that understand say no but when you accept Christmas you by default accept their understanding say well okay well the Quran seems to recognize the Christians as worshipping God

1:58:14

would you not agree they would say of course you know coolly okay Tabata lol Akali mattandsarah in vain and our been come oh we've got you know there's many the al-khattab in the quran or clearly recognized as records worshiping allah yes ah but the concept of Allah is one that can have different God heads so Jesus can be a Godhead of God so you say yeah see but we don't ascribe to that no we don't but but we recognize

1:58:52

that they recognize God

2:00:02

by doing so you know but eating their me isn't really like showing compassion to them or something like this like just you know survival we need food so we take [Laughter]

2:01:41

because if they

2:02:25

deserving to recognize Jesus than the christian's messiah not the son of God so now okay so from a religious perspective in the past

2:03:54

it was just in essence

2:04:33

people sang hih Stan doesn't want to be associated with India we

2:05:57

do not say certain words because I differentiate the words to look different now we don't want to see seem similar in any way forging an identity in a similar way with just words we won't use the word you know let's say the word life like Jeevan like no no we can't use that because you know this is really a Hindi where we have to use just

2:06:41

like this this kind of stubbornness now you take you from this level and you go back a thousand years I imagine then when the races were different as well religion was different language and culture was different so it's the animosity is gonna be much more stock so you've got the

2:07:10

- oh my god

2:10:57

now people may say look by participating let's say people may say okay we recognize things like a Christmas tree Christmas tree doesn't actually have any Christian relevance

2:13:28

if you back into its tiny micro okay

2:15:41

this is from Jackie so

2:17:20

ever now except you know he's grateful for you now the black stone the black stone maybe the main thing that is most likely because the rest of you seem to be influenced the navigators and the main God which was the big black stone and you've got because there's so many volcanoes

2:19:47

would get together standard how these practices those

2:20:31

things disappear so it's fine I'm just so today when you look at these practices here let's say a Christmas tree or Santa Claus getting together yes they may have originated in some way you know maybe it was pagan some other kind of practice but today it doesn't have that I know these people partaking so

2:21:10

for those of you that have being it's don't see the mic is not working [Laughter]

2:22:18

this is an example right so

2:23:07

I'm just if this any any messages anything feel free to reach out to do I am releasing somebody said mom like you messed up again shouldn't be it's still only clear my yeah oh I see it might not working
