The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II | Mufti Abu Layth

you know we have to we have to share a few words on the passing of queen elizabeth ii liz has finally kicked the bucket people she has decided to i say decided not like it was in her control but yeah let's i think it's first and foremost her passing is a it's a reminder

that no matter what resources what wealth what science technology and and just human advancements that anybody has and unquestionably she had the best resources at her disposal that any possible human being could have had i mean she's from the elite

you know few select individuals in the world that every single person on earth knows about and who who just enjoys an unfathomable amount of wealth that truly i doubt anybody knows the the amount of wealth that she uh truly had access to so despite that this dunya is ephemeral transient and passing like

it does not matter whether you are from the lower strata of society or from the elite royal ruling class everyone and each and all will have someday have the final curtain drawn for them and that's a very powerful reminder so yeah one thing for sure money definitely kept her in very good health

i mean she looked phenomenally great for her age and if you just think about how much she's witnessed i mean she's from the aftermath of world war one and living till now wow you know one thing for sure i feel prince prince king charles king long lived the king king king charles iii rather he i think must have thought

yes finally he must have he must have thought i've been yeah rob i've been making dua for decades finally jabba and my daughter gets accepted man he has ascended you know he's he's he's come to the throne at what 73 or something and i think the queen looked in better health than him i don't know what's going on with his fingers those things are just i don't know what

that condition is but he's obviously got the best medical advancements at his disposal and yet still he's got these super hyper swollen fingers and yeah but i mean people say he is more sympathetic to islam and he maybe he may be i feel that he definitely is more sympathetic to islam and muslims than the queen was definitely you see the thing about the queen is i think the queen

she clearly had a presence to her and you can understand that i watched a clip by uh jordan peterson speaking about the queen having passed and he made some incredibly v valuable points that you see there was this symbolism of authority and um that she would have unquestionably just wielded and just heard that you see for many people that don't know every monday before as the first course of action for the prime minister

they have to take a trip to buckingham palace and report the weekly affairs and the plans for that week to the queen in a royal audience every week without fail every monday morning and if and the woman you're talking to has been alive since your own perhaps grandfather and this woman has witnessed world war ii and she's witnessed over a dozen prime ministers come and go or 13 or maybe this being the 14th now so

with liz trusts fine getting her royal audience and then the queen dies you know but uh that must be so daunting having to turn up and wow people would be i mean you can imagine the the the kind of just what kind of a harrowing experience that must be so yeah now the queen was this you know now looking at her she's like this this this appearance of this cute old lady

you know like a cute grandma kind of uh manifestation but i don't think she by any stretch was a a kind of sweet quiet old lady on the contrary i believe that she was incredibly stern and very powerful not just powerful as the queen but as a personality she was a formidable force i don't think she by any stretch was you know like this sweet

old lady like a grandma that just by looking at her you have this image like she's she looks so sweet and looks so like a cute old lady and who's who's probably and people picture these things but i i think she was incredibly stern strict ridiculously kind of religious about her protocol and ambitiously held on to the throne so and and she had the other royals

on the lock i mean and most likely she had princess diana killed i mean this is the same this is the same royal highness and yeah and you have to remember she's from an era where the world was so different and do people really change if they if the bulk of their formative years have passed in that era so i think people can change so long as but imagine reaching 60 years of age

or 50 going past 50 years of age and the world is still so backwards in so many things i mean we're looking at the 80s and so racism wasn't even illegal in the uk so i mean that that was brought in in 1988 so you can see that this woman is from this era where you weren't if she was if she was giving a speech you weren't allowed in pubs or these things to listen to the speech whilst eating anything drinking anything you

had to uh stop there was a whole religious protocol which the military and those people take very seriously i mean it's not um i know people the public are eerie fairy but the queen and these people so yeah that's my thoughts on her i think sure you know people say she did a lot of good things and was this figure of this symbolic figure for and sure i accept all of these things i do also think that look really she had witnessed

incredible oppression at the hands of the british and even in a diplomatic way because one could say well nobody wants to assume responsibility but even in a diplomatic and remember she could have it looked over 10 times over before giving such a speech or issuing such a statement she could have to some ex said something done something about these atrocities that were carried out because it's in her lifetime that she witnessed the world suffering at the hands of the british

i mean every six days i believe it is that a country in the world celebrates its independence from the british empire i mean just think about that every six days so every week a country and more than almost every week a country is celebrating its independence from what was a a barbaric rule of tyranny so yeah and i'm not and i get that people say well how far back do

reparations go and how far back these apologies go but they could be something in some sense but there wasn't and we saw what happened with harry and megan and harry has this interview i did share it i don't really use twitter but somebody sent me a twitter link and it was on there so i shared it retweeted it and it's it's like a mind-blowing interview that he gives really you you're just so shocking that he's just speaking

his reality just nothing but just sheer reality to the camera and he's speaking about the racism the kind of the the the catastrophic stress levels that him and megan were facing the fact that the family people were either making her life a misery making his life a misery to the extent that he felt she would either kill herself or they would kill her and the queen making these statements about the color of

you know their children's skin and things like this and because she's from that era you know you can't forget that she's from that era so and and he mentions in the interview he says that i saw all of this happening with my mother and he says and it's no you know people forget that he says about his mother that she when she got when she was in a relationship with a person of color that she was driven to her death and he you could see history was about to repeat itself so yeah these are the things that said

some observations on the queen i feel that really she did as far as a being a queen a monarch girls she pulled off an incredible task incredible i mean you see to be the queen or to be the monarch

she muted herself and that is next to impossible it was you know each and every one of us wants a voice we want to share an opinion even if we don't want to be controversial or political or we want to have an opinion oh what i like that flavored drink oh i think this is beautiful scenery oh i love this movie oh i like that music i people just want to

you know this beyond which we spoke of in last session they want to just express themselves as a person to whoever even if they've just got three people listening or if they've got the world they want to be heard and what she did was at the cost of the monarchy

she silenced her voice and she did it incredibly well i mean i don't think any monarch would have pulled it off the way she did she you know did not give statements did not give um [Music] did not give ideas opinions likes dislikes occasionally maybe something kind of crept out but no and being one of the most hyper successful or famous hyper famous people throughout

the world yet to remain silent for decades not for days you know if somebody said that just stop going on social media or you can go on social media but you can only just spectate you can't participate you can't like anything you can't comment and you must do this for not you must you can do this for 10 days you must live in the shadows that would seem like whoa and doing that for decades um really in many ways and living a life that if you step out

of protocol you would be immediately scrutinized that life to me with that extent of everybody may have some exposure to some scrutiny but to that extent that you can't do anything it's not worth the jewels and the gold and the wealth and the royalty that it brings with it to me you know as a person to become silenced and just be a monument for the rest of your natural existence

on this earth wow but for us you know that's to observe that it's like wow okay this is an interesting observation so yeah those were my thoughts um i seen some uh muslims um [Music] i saw this thing you know making uh i think wanting to pray her janazah or people holding friday congregation prayers for her death and i think you know in all honesty i think the

queen would have would have like brought these people back into the common sense if she was given an opportunity i think she would be insulted or she wouldn't be insulted but she would find it absurd i mean maybe she wouldn't say that publicly because of who she was she did not express opinions but i don't think that's what she was after and i don't think it's really the thing that sure you know people are sentimental and and they have a sentiment and that in its own place is incredibly valuable but it doesn't mean you have to i saw this

article saying oh my god we can see the queen this was i think some of the british folks saying you could see the queen in the clouds oh my god there's a picture of her in karamate [Laughter] so people you know this is uh so and there was this person in this arctic this viral photograph where he was doing uh umrah on behalf of queen elizabeth and he's holding up this placard and says you know he's doing umrah on behalf of elizabeth g

so naturally he got arrested so i guess that omran never got accepted [Laughter] ah the heart has a way of its own huh and the love the connection so yeah that said um people we should always see in death a reminder and we should not we should avoid um ever being we're humanly possible being

rude or abusive to a death okay that is not the way of islam on the way of the prophet salallahu right moving on
