Moving Forward | Meaning with MALM #7

all right people bismillah first and foremost as always in line with the customs and convention i have to do a sound check is this sound going through where are done on facebook and youtube can you all hear me loud and clear i'll just all right so i can see some names already hassan scorpio alright let me just sound coming

avraham right so what is going on what is going on well one of those days i've been quite distracted very productive day alhamdulillah but quite exhausting and i thought chello

you know the proverb even if it's late it's got to be it's got to be early somewhere in the world let that go down as one of my legendary quotes so i thought look let's get on there get this show on the road whatever we can do today what we'll take a look at i'll in fact i'll bring up i should have

all right so what we'll take a look at today i wanted us to explain what it is and then we'll come back to the topics of right so i keeping a personal connect with the quran and i'm going to choose an example this second topic is just introducing a figure i just want to speak about because it's actually to do with the third point which is salah in the quran objective and overview i want to speak a bit about the salah in the quran what does it actually say um does it tell us about it what are the objectives why should we actually be praying

uh what does it do its function for us and does it does it determine your iman that's an important point and tying in with that that story before i suppose it's good to speak about an individual we'll introduce a key figure from the mohat dynasty which is the muahidin dynasty people so as the in the words of the poet

has the story of the people of andalus reached you but the hadith have taken the tales far and wide so it's just it's an interesting for izan is an interesting personality i'll speak about him well the pygmalion effect actually comes in with him as well but in psychology but also it ties in with salah so that's why i thought this is an interesting point and you'll see why when i come to it then what we'll do is we'll take some of your questions as always live you're more than welcome to send them in

obviously i have to prioritize the super chat man and then i'll share the link and bring some of you on and we'll wrap it up people will call it a night or an evening or a morning wherever you are in the world you know we are international people somebody's already jumping the gun and saying what does salah do look at that so whilst i'm just getting ready i i'll let you guys do the drill

up this is this one not nice so you know the drill you like you share you spread the love man spread the love man don't do the love don't do the hit okay so all right let's see some who's tuned in clear alright always a pleasant uh face to have on live right so mufti bala sunny all right

let's have the bala soni alright abdul basit you know i was quite i'm quite surprised to learn i was just discussing um on the discord server yesterday actually we're having a bit of a chit chat and it's interesting to learn that the covid debate seems to have got quite heated up as of now

but across the pond so stateside and canada everybody's really debating over it but i don't my perception is here in the uk it's kind of it's it's die to death their life is as usual masks are no longer mandatory most people have possibly returned to their places of work or maybe some people are working from home but the covet restrictions have drastically decreased and life is as usual for for the most part

so it was quite interesting chatting yesterday with some of the the guys stateside and that side of the pond about how everything is in a huff and a puff over there and whoa it's interesting interesting interesting works clear saying that we may be going into another lockdown in the uk that's interesting i i did see some occasional headlines and then they kind of scrap them they say no you know then they say maybe they should be a passport and say no then they say maybe they should just be double jabbed no

i don't know i i feel i don't know i'm just going with what my psyche is reading from the zeitgeist and that is that it seems to be a bit of a dead debate in the uk and even though the infection rate is high i don't think the death rate is high in the uk allah well that's that which does remind me speaking of debates i watched again uh what's that show the um [Music] it's called i've forgotten the name of the uh

it's a canadian show something the agenda with it's a talk show but they have jordan peterson it's an old show when uh jordan peterson was taking on the whole gender uh expression stroke pronoun case against the ontario human rights or whatever it was in in in court and prior to that he'd gone on many of these talk shows but he's on this talk show and there's a bunch of people on the in this debating i've forgotten what that law was c1 whatever it was um and

it wasn't i have to say it was an incredibly fascinating discussion although it's it's now old but it was i was just going through i i don't know why it came up and i just started watching and then i was like and this whole thing about uh pronouns and and uh the points that people were making and i found it very fascinating i have to say because i do find myself agreeing with the fact that the government should not legislate language

and i found myself definitely i could see that orwellian kind of slope of and actually part of the book club we are reading this month which is juxtaposed with you know orwell's um 1984 but that this is huxley's brave new world and this is for the book club and this isn't a softer uh kind of um tyranny if you like it's a fascinating read those of you that want to be a part of i suppose even though we've restricted some of the the book club members but

those that want to read alongside and join the end of month uh book discussion do read it brave new world by alders huxley so yeah uh coming to that point i found that a crucial argument that government can legislate that they can ban words i get that if the words have become associated with hate crime so for example racist slurs and things like this but can they so that's negative legislation that they are

saying don't use this word people get offended okay can they positively assert and restrict words that everybody must use a particular word see that's interesting because that's almost borderline creedal isn't it the government saying well everybody must use such and such word and i i as well find myself amongst those that doesn't see the 30 odd gender kind of pronouns as um naturally flowing so i i definitely

don't know them i know there's things like jesus i think there's a per there's a purple i i i honestly don't know them but uh i find it quite amusing because i i think in that sense where does where do people draw the line because if somebody said that they wanted their own like let's say i say i come up with an arabic word or arabic letter i say that every time you refer to me you must say

[Laughter] i said well if you don't i find that highly offensive i find it quite um you know it's it's you're you're hurting my expression uh it's an interesting debate it's an interesting debate so yeah i thought whilst you guys were clicking like and share as you ought to be doing let's right muhammad hassan what is the islamic perspective on forced vaccinations

there is when you say islamic perspective i don't know what that means uh in the sense there isn't something in the quran per se like that obviously they didn't have vaccines like that but you draw from general broad principles of islam of the greater good al-musla which is the greater good or where legislative bodies will take powers into their hands to safeguard so the hadith that if you hear of a plague

an outbreak do not leave the town this hadith is clearly a safeguarding measure it's not um something about divine instructions and hence say omar did leave the town when the plague broke out and was uh and some people tried to criticize him for that and they said that atafe do you run from the destiny of god or the decree of god interesting and and israel's reply was

i go from the decree of god to the decree of god so i think um these things are relatively arbitrary the islamic debate would be no different to the current debate that is taking place i do find it quite surprising that the level of censorship uh is quite alarming actually because we have entered a new age i think you know i think kovid has done many things for us and one of the things it's done

is it's given us a glimpse of the the dogma of old you see because historically you had heretics and you had orthodoxy and the church and and burning people at the stake almost and today or you know for considerable amount of time europe or the developed world first world if you want to call it that hasn't really been a part of those kind of ideologies and people have

taken liberty in a considerable amount of freedom but now all of a sudden kovid has become the the religion of old i mean this is big sorry the religion of new the this we're seeing people are being shamed like if you do call for a question like if you call for a debate or you are dubbed a um a conspiracy theorist and people don't want to be called out there's a shaming to it so people are

passively being coerced into something and it's interesting watching it kind of unfold because if you speak out against covet let's say or or challenging the the status quo if you do it on youtube you will be very it's very likely your channel will be shut down or at least that video will be removed now that's interesting because that same immediate shutdown or censorship doesn't even you

know apply to terrorism i mean how how wild is that because you somebody could be preaching extreme hatred they could be ex preaching killings and they could be speaking about gang retaliations they could be speaking about all kinds of things and social media will not shut them down easily it may shut them down after an excessive a stretched out investigation and repetitive uh reporting but

if you question or if you call to some kind of a debate on the coronavirus situation you will be shut down based on misinformation now i just find it interesting i'm not to be honest i'm kind of ambivalent i'm not um i i do have i've had the double vaccination and i'm not that kind of first i'm not i did have covid earlier in the year and it did kind of knock me out for the count but i wasn't um to me i saw the vaccinations as

sure they will if anything just help and i didn't see them as a huge conspiracy and i saw that they also served a utility to travel so yeah and if anything that i i personally do think on the help side that they are more helpful than not having them that's my that's where i lie but i'm not one of these i'm not so passionate either side but it's interesting watching this becoming a new religion almost that you know people who say this and people who say this and even the free speech is shutting them down and they're being termed wackos and nut

cases and you know it's smart because it's like uh thick feel being done you careful you careful and and we're watching it in real time so yeah i thought let me uh it's interesting to share those thoughts next question i see sarasan shukran much love for the super chat you do and how should a muslim react when they share

mufti okay steps out of grace and commits haram do we condemn them forever or forgive them the conflict of interest question here i'm joking um right so okay let me take that off and take that up okay so

right so um that's an interesting question how do people respond to shares falling out of grace i mean it would depend on what they've done and i guess like all things it would be proportionate to you see it depends because

i it's understandable you see i i feel that there are there's a spectrum a continuum and we put the share title aside for a moment we just consider any human being we are judgmental as people now sometimes more so than others and it depends on what we find somebody doing so somebody maybe

they've i don't know like let's say they've stolen something and they've committed fraud now people will be very less likely to put them in a position of trust managing funds and i see something like that not very different in this case whether they are a chef or not so if somebody it's usually i would assume it should be commensurate and reflective so yeah i don't know i mean i'm trying to think of chairs and what do chefs get

there is fraud you sometimes some shirts are that is hurled at them usually a common one will be the you see now that's actually interesting that discussion of uh relationships because relationships is one that is often hurled up many of these imams now it depends once again what is going on because they it you see this would not be deemed a crime but it would depend on what they've been

doing so if let's say an imam is using his imamship to exploit people then that would be wrong okay and and that would be wrong so for example uh because the imam is i don't know he's in this masjid he knows such and such person he's going through a tough time financially or such a such person as you know that woman is now a widow and this person is this and she's just

like this and he's kind of like in a conniving way exploiting these people if something that's obviously an abomination that's utterly abominable but that's not how i think a lot of these cases that transpire appear a lot of them are usually a two-way kind of interaction between people my advice would be that look i this is why these religious things are really just a shambles in all honesty i would say imams these people this is my advice

they should do this independently their livelihood and living should be something entirely separate that think entrepreneurially think with an enterprising mindset invest in businesses do not have this as your life do this for a passion for an interest and don't try to mix it but then you see

i would say as well that i i am a bit reluctant sometimes to accept i know more so i think stateside we hear a lot of these kind of uh stories and i am a bit reluctant sometimes allahu alam i don't have access to all the information to accept as well what people call i'm a bit skeptical about the term spiritual abuse because i'm not quite fully i don't fully understand what people mean when they say that but otherwise anything that is clearly criminal is criminal so if a person's been caught stealing if a person's been

abusing beating up people he's an imam and he's beating up the kids he's sexually abusing god forbid he's doing things like this then this is clearly an abomination and that person should not be put in a position like that if if a person's been abusing little children and you bring him back god forbid i mean that's utterly reckless but yeah so those topics aside there is this one area which people call spiritual abuse which i'm personally a bit um i don't i do understand parts of it but parts of

it seem very arbitrary to me so people say things and i don't want to mention names of certain imams uh who had been embroidered you know in the or found themselves in these kind of situations and women had said well you know i was in a relationship with this guy oh sorry this imam and this imam you know i i had all these hopes inside me that he will offer me a lifelong vision but he didn't and you see in these kind of things i see

that no different as any relationship with anyone whether the person was an imam or an engineer or an accountant or a lawyer or an author or an artist or a musician or or a regular person it makes no difference because relationships are relationships you know people fall out of flavor and favor with people and i think as well we have to understand that you see we've got a bit of a you see we do have a problem with a generation of people who are

this social media kind of i know this isn't going to sound nice when i say like this but social media narcissists and they there is this kind of meme which i like to call generation me so because that's what they are and you see to them there's a sense of entitlement and people do feel and this is no longer neces restricted to just religious or imams or this is everywhere in everything and they do translate every hurt as abuse and that's not necessarily the case so

as in what i mean by that is so let's say you see let's dumb it down let's say your friend doesn't want to be your friend anymore that's you can't say he's abusing me like if my mate now don't want to hang out with me anymore and i call him i say hey bro come on man let's chill like he starts blanking me and he doesn't now let's say nothing's happened but maybe he's just fed up of me or he just doesn't no longer likes my personality so i say hey bro what's going on let's

let's chill out man was you want to go to the gym you want to chill out doesn't reply to me doesn't and we were good friends let's say hypothetically now a couple of times let's say he he just ripped up too busy too busy doesn't really i would feel hurt i would feel hurt i'll be honest that's because i'm a sensitive person man but i would i'm being honest i would feel hurt but i can't call that abuse i can't that's

you see not every hurt translates as abuse like but but now you change that scenario into a different scenario and people would say well that does so this is what i'm saying i feel that because we have this sometimes a generation of people that i don't know like they feel a sense of entitlement that if they are hurt on anything that's abuse like i'm hurt my feelings are hurt i'm abused like the discussion i i said earlier on like pronouns or anything like oh if you don't my feelings are hurt and hurt translates as abuse so you've abused me

and i think abu and i think what this does is it it belittles the word abuse because really abuse is an atrocity and it shouldn't take away from true victims of abuse because you're putting yourself you know this person is a victim of violence and a victim of atrocious attacks and previous harm and domestic violence and sexual assaults and and oh my friend doesn't want to be friends with me and they also want to be in that camp [Laughter]

i went to buy my local shopkeepers stop buying those kind of things you know i but i like those flavored lollipops there was a who was there some famous uh some woman a [Music] famous i think tick tocker or something american and she went into i think she's got i don't know ridiculous amount of followers and she went into some i think a dessert shop and or it was a cake shop or something or and they didn't have vegan or yeah they didn't have i think vegan

not flavor vegan cakes or whatever it was desserts so she threw this huge mega tantrum and she bust up the shop threw stuff around and i'm gonna do this and then did a campaign on her social media to set her her k-pop funds on that little business and actually damaged the business because she had like a million or whatever it was followers so you see this and i remember i was watching this this thing on youtube about the forgotten the lady's name now it's

i think her name was demi something but um and so it's it's crazy we have a generation of people who have a lot of power all of a sudden so and they do have and i give something to the and i admit that the younger generation do have this vocal concern for uh humanitarian crises around the world and human rights and they seem to have that outcry which is which is really which is noble and admirable so they do you know they want to condemn racism they want to condemn they want any kind of injustices

but at the same time they've they're still so young mentally that they they like just you know this isn't to belittle them but they're just so immature mentally and many of them have got a lot of power all of a sudden because they've got ridiculous followings and they've got money some of them because social you know if you've got a million followers that's monetized you're making an incredible amount of money and so you you've got power and people listen to you and and but you know then you throw these tantrums and it's where does the world go

yeah that's i don't know it's interesting times interesting times let's move on to the next question before people say what is why is it why is mostly picking on generation me i'm not i have absolute love nah giorgio uh power has taken another form through social media it is true and you see it's a double-bladed sword because it could be a you know a forceful good and it is sometimes a force for good you know you see how

people's lives are changed sometimes i've seen they will be somebody who is homeless and he's talented and somebody they'll make him go viral and he'll have a successful job or she will have a successful job at home now and that's wonderful and that's the true power that you can see that we are serving mankind but then you see this you know people throwing a tantrum in a cake shop and [Laughter] cancelling the shop

uh i just clear my son's friend is a tick-tock he's got a blue tick yeah awesome awesome not no people can use it for i do i do love social media i'm not against a social media in any way um but i do see this i'm just commenting my thoughts on it is difficult i get it it's difficult because you see young people as well they it's it's interesting because historically and not even that long ago

just decades a few decades just even going two decades ago and backwards you see you went through certain almost phases which were like rights of passage almost so you know as a teenager you weren't really i'm not saying this is a good thing i'm just stating it you didn't really have a voice even as a young person young adult you didn't really have a voice and you usually latched yourself onto some people in some form of almost an apprentice way maybe a relative maybe an

elder person and you just did things like that as as a kind of like a prospect maybe you worked somewhere you did something and you kind of got through it until you reached a certain age where now people took you a lot more seriously and but one thing it did do was it taught you to kind of bottle and to contain yourself when you're when things sometimes ain't going as you wish because even if you did throw away a tantrum nobody would care and in fact it would just make things worse so you society

in advert in that way taught you to handle or to to to kind of be able to face or just contain just more patient more and now you don't need to be patient because you see if anything happens you just go on your phone and tweet it you say well you know this happened and it creates a in the twitter sphere and yeah so it's interesting because it's interesting that the internet doesn't forget anything see this is another fascinating thing because i i would be terrified at the thought

that when i was in my 20s if my kind of thoughts and the way i would have maybe i don't know my opinions or stuff would have still been online oh my god i regret that thank god none of this existed because that would just be it would be like a shadow that would chase me forever so yeah okay all right uh david saying when will i publish a book on my analyses of bukhari insha allah

insha allah why not um right let's uh let's move forward people take a sip before anything but it is a wonderful world and an amazing time to be alive i have to say no matter what people say it is an incredible time to be alive we are i i i am just honestly i'm just immersed

in our time as a blessing i i truly do think that i'm not just saying that i find it so i find it amusing yet amazing all right so somebody said why should we follow the way of the salad i think what they meant to say was the way of the salaf right speaking of the way of the salaf and something about being more positive and connecting you see i've been emphasizing a lot uh that we need to connect

and i really would like people to do this connect with the quran all right nawaz um shukran for the super chat much love i'm that's an incredible question do you think immersing yourself in other religions could lead to truths that may be similar to immersing yourself in the details of your own religion sure i mean fundamentally religions are saying very similar things fundamentally speaking the purpose of religions for

generally and broadly speaking is to connect a person with the divine and they have a a path to do that which usually has similar axiomatic teachings like always adhere to the truth acts of kindness and compassion serving humanity these kind of fundamentals universal fundamentals are part of all faiths generally speaking so i i totally agree that if a person was immersed in in a different religion they would still

find very similar fundamental values they wouldn't be fundamentally different they wouldn't embrace let's say a person became a practicing sikh they were a sick and they're not going to all of a sudden become a worse person they're going to just serve people and adhere to the truth and to do good things so which is you know if a person became a um a more sincere christian it would be very similar so i totally agree

all right much love for the super chat dearly appreciate what can i do when i get disenchanted with scholars after seeing their political opinions or their behaviors online yeah i think that is that is the natural path of growth you as an individual will grow okay you'll see people look scholars scholars are maybe amazing human beings but they are ultimately human beings they are not um

beyond reproach or they are they're not infallible they will make mistakes everybody makes mistakes we all make mistakes and it's not even about mistakes sometimes it's about they too will go through a maturing process i can say for myself i feel i'm going through a maturing process and i hope i'm always going through this process i look at some things from maybe a year ago and i feel hmm you know i think now i would do this part differently i look at things from

four years ago five years ago and i definitely think i will do that that differently i don't and this and i'm grateful that i i think that because then i feel that i've matured so you will speak to people who have um sometimes views that are very maybe outlandish or even if they're not outlandish maybe they lack maturity they may be too dogmatic and you hope that these people will mature over time there is an a further challenge with the

industry this is the islamic industry which uh that's what i call it that there is because of the sheer dogmatism it is very difficult for people to sometimes jump off the conveyor belt or the treadmill so for sure it's very difficult sometimes because they now have a following that following is linked to their livelihood which is linked to the amount of support they get and it's it's not easy for them to just jump off it and change you see

so this is why you see some of the shifts that you do see in the that are going through a kind of a swing like a pen you know like a pendulum because that's what's going on they try and then they feel oh i'm gonna lose all these people so they come back and start doing a bit more bashing of people and then they try to swing back and no no no no and that's because they themselves are not ready to be true to themselves but may allah make things easy i do hope in all of this the faith is not damaged i mean

right so um too much humble bragging i hope not by people yeah people should keep it real um somebody said sure did i miss a super chat it's a super sticker by globe gold globe you're doing it much love uh

no i answered that and i answered this super chat ibn isa shukran much love if i did miss one let me know right okay what i wanted to do was bring our attention to the quran briefly and and remind you that i've said this on many occasions it is imperative that you develop a personal relationship even if it's very brief you don't have to memorize the whole quran you don't have to be reading a truth a day you don't have even if you can't read it every day

whenever whenever come whenever you can it is the doors are wide open okay it is a welcoming book it is the book of allah and read it in a way that it you see the message reflecting a reflecting

reflecting insights for your actual life so let me give you an example here or something i was just taking a look at this today i thought let me share it as an example surah alayl now this and you can see this just one moment let me

right okay didn't have the i just want to make sure the number yep it's 92 right so surah 92 if you want to uh in fact don't know if you want to do take a look at it take a look at it in your own time take a look at it now you could take a look at this surah and we know because one of the amazing things about the quran is yes we know it it is speaking about so for example he's speaking about the night it's speaking about these things but its miraculous nature is whatever you bring to it it reflects insights about whatever

you are engaged with you see so you can you can draw uh by by extension many meanings from the ayats we know the primary meanings of the the secondary meanings but it's count it gives countless meanings to the people that read it so you've got one layla yoshi swearing allah swearing by night as it immerses it envelops as it falls drapes existence as we know it but one of the understandings you could take

from the is the darkness the challenges whatever you're going through because that's how darkness that's how tragedies or calamity or even if they're not calamities but they are challenges obstacles in the past he says in the night how it draped over me with all these anxieties kemoge like the way

the wave of an ocean envelops people it comes engulfs them just to try them to give them trials and you see so the challenges that surround us immediately follows by daylight as it shines brightly in all its glory see immediately beginning with the problems because we have a negativity by us

humans we're more preoccupied with problems than we are with happiness so beginning with being real is that it's not far away because and in another verse of the quran is not is not dawn just is it not so close yes the night seems dark but it will come to a swift end and and it's interesting the other the verse that you have that that all prayed alhamdulillah

who created the one and even there allah begins that he placed darknesses in the plural and then follows it by light you see giving you that immediate hope that uh don't because when you start thinking you get real about the problems the challenges you can go on a downer straight away

um see this is interesting because yes it's speaking about allah created male and female but it's also bringing to our attention binaries in everything so we're not just talking about from mata to antimatter we're talking about in experiences as well your whole life you measure it like i mentioned problems and we we think about negative things more that's in itself is a binary you see but then bringing it back to people as well

don't think your struggles are equal or equal isn't the right word that your struggles are diverse you see so often what we're doing is we're measuring ourselves again against these other people but in this your struggle is different this isn't about equality this is realism

you could you see we spoke about social media people watching this on social media constantly and you get scroll locked you know you you're glued scrolling through the screens everybody seems so fabulously happy so tremendously awesome in their lives this person's on a holiday that person's with you know their a romantic getaway this person is in a brand new flashy car that person sitting with a wad of cash this person's doing

you know wearing a fancy and a new dress a new suit and you're thinking yeah why am i the only depressed loser because we measure ourselves built you know i was about to say build contrast put the arabic in the by contrast we measure ourselves by contrast and when you're looking at fake that's not authentic the person in the photo that is not their life yes i mean they've

made it they want you to think that is their life that may even be a part a glimpse it may be on many occasions it's inauthentic but even if it is that's not their life they have innasa they have their struggles you have yours so a person thinks what do i do how do i progress allah begins with

the one who gives but here you're trying to get you're thinking i want allah begins with give if you want to get there is i'm i'm telling you there is this counterintuitive formula that makes zero sense when you tell people and that is that the more you give the more you get exponentially there is call it barakah call it you know call it whatever you want

call it coincidence the more you give the more you get allah begins with that who gives what then follows it with mindfulness is mindful i like to translate it taqwa as mindfulness people could say god conscious that's fine as well fear is not in to me an adequate translation

you see in this about affirming you see there's so many ways because yes of course you affirm righteousness but you also you see that it you and it begins with you that it is there not just right goodness it is the don't give up don't think that there's no yeah everything's wretched there's no begin in this

and then allah says you see we will make it easy and you see this success pulls success it's true it's tried and tested wealth pulls wealth these things and we see what's interesting here the opposite then

a miserly tight-fisted people and that's a fascinating one you see because allah follows the the verb stagna means ah couldn't care less went solo but it also comes from the word to try and be rich you see so bachelor type fisted and this doesn't by extension it means in many things starting with yourself don't be type fisted with your dreams with your goals start with yourself then the people around you

your family charity begins at home you have people you know this is another thing people they wanted do not do this well you know people want to do something let me first of all get it on social media can you record me giving something to a homeless person this is not you know be real don't be this is just another form of miserliness me me me me the ego seeking you see and what's interesting

you see you got the opposites such people the down spiraling you see just as that positivity pulls positivity negativity pulls negativity so keep that in mind and there's just these these verses i thought wa ma yugni that wealth does not

if a person if a person is to fall into misery wealth can is of no avail to them it's important to remember you see that verse these verses are so important that look i'm i always advocate that people should think entrepreneurially they should think in an enterprising way be independent but remember wealth is not the end of everything and it does facilitate a lot in life but

if you stoop if you fall if you are in ruin and by ruin what does it mean it's not speaking about financial ruin everything needing in life is ruined it doesn't bring you that there's there's no point to anything wealth is of nothing your wealth ain't going to do anything remember the most want you see there's two things that really bring life together for us

memories and experiences your memories that you carry with you and your experiences so invest in them in you in people around you enjoying and yes of course earn earn capitalize spend invest serve experience but don't this kind of don't cut yourself short on your own goals your own dreams your own humanity in trying to be tight-fisted miserly because then at the end of the day

you know we all at some point when we think about it we all at some point will face that final curtain and we will be there and what you want to do is at that stage at least you feel that you know i have lived in this in this dunya you know by the grace of god i have enjoyed and it's been an incredible privilege that's what you want

in sha allah may allah give it to each other right i wanted to share that because my point was that we this connecting and reflecting is something you can do whenever you want take let it speak to you about whatever is going on in your life right i'll take a few questions and what we'll do is we'll then move on to oh there's been some super chats or some super stickers azerati you do in it yeah you're doing it much love uh

that is uh max alright sugar and sugar and muchas gracias max all right so uh-huh there's a lot of conversations i don't know what those uh what these are about

in the age of info i think the old scholars will be right darth vader in the age of info i don't think the old scholars will be regarded so highly by objective thinkers there's a black hole in the first century so of early islam which has affected its trajectory not sure i understand that

i'm not sure i understand that i think there's been some great scholarship there's been some great scholarship and to be fair most of the islamic scholarship we have today is built all upon the classical scholarship it's not very different somebody said monday nights fahad obsessed with monday nights yeah i've got 200 episodes go and watch them [Laughter] you know it's like with anything you have to

you see you have to understand life is full of chapters and you have to and everything has a time and a calling and chapters are wonderful but you see it's the child who's afraid to move on you see to let go of the rattle or to let go of primary school and move to secondary school or to that that's just the kind of insecurities of childlikeness within within us i guess but it's life i mean this inshallah is a

fascinating chapter and let's see somebody said i saw a question about also about um the ear earring you see look i'm trying to get a message yeah to people and if it will help them in focusing on the message as opposed to getting distracted by me who is carrying the message to them

in the moment as i speak then of course it's not like i don't have to it's not my religion to say i have to 24 7 always wear a t-shirt it's not my you know it's not part of my akita or islam or iman to say i have to be you know wearing sunglasses or putting on an earring or doing something to to do something so if it helps people i mean if when i go to business meetings i go like this i go in a shirt i go in my in a suit i go in

when i when i do different things so yes when i'm going to the gym i'm in my t-shirt so it makes zero difference if it helps alhamdulillah let's see let's allow people to focus on the message rather than getting distracted on you know why are you not wearing a shirt so why are you wearing that color shirt or why are you let's focus on the bigger and better things

[Music] my super chat i on i didn't see your super chat for nurse so i did oh they oh they're sorry i'm just going back let me see

why did you call you choose to call yourself a bullet you were pulling the kurta look i think i inshallah can pull every look i think there's that much grace of god that whatever look there is i think i can i can do it okay reasonably okay so now you may say that's delusion but cello [Laughter] it's a even if it is delusional it's a good one it's a good delusion i guess abu leith is a cunha that

i've loved it i've loved it i don't know probably you've had it for about what 22 years now or something 21 years or something i don't know it's been a long time um right so i hope that helps and you have shukran shukra and i appreciate the feedback on i do i do like actually shalwalkami's kind of uh feel i do occasionally wear it but obviously upon occasions and things like that right what um once again i saw the

uh much love all this all this love and i couldn't see even a fairness is was this the question when are we going to get the mufti spiritual physical fitness series inshallah why not you see you know on the physical thing i just i feel

in all honesty i feel kind of embarrassed to try to do something like that because i think that yes i'm well into going to the gym i go to the gym regularly i'm a i suppose a junkie like that a gym junkie but by no measure am i compared to people who run fitness pages and dedicate their life to fitness the physiques they have and the muscles and the exercises and i i would feel i feel so absurd trying to do that so even though

i i think i i think i'm okay you know it's okay and there's plenty of room for improvement but i feel embarrassed trying to train people saying look when when you've got real you know you go on social media there's people that are huge that's you know that's the kind of people you want uh gym sessions with so yeah

[Music] i see sarasota and sugar and shukran much love for the super chat mufti socialists uh all right socially say the concept of communities dead in the post-modern world individual can now survive without a community if true concept of umma or need of um that's fascinating um in fact i should have um i should have a mind trap possibly next week with uh

is it dr catherine jomah who's specialized her whole book and thesis has been on uma and i think it would be a very fascinating discussion unpacking some of that with her that what is this notion of ummah how it's emerged how it's developed over over time and yeah and how and how it's varied and the pros and cons of that i don't think i accept that we are

in a in the post-modern world community isn't the way it is but i disagree we are not in a post-community world i don't think humans can live in a post-community world because humans are social by nature we are social creatures and we are tribal creatures but what happens is our community definition [Music] has varied and altered over time so if

in historic and prehistoric times let's say it was a tribe in a very animalistic in a very similar to other animals let's say prehistoric times and as human civilization developed it became let's say settlements and then it became more agricultural villages and then towns and then these kind of cities with which would have pockets of different towns within them with pockets of communities

however in a more modern society that is very globalized today our communities are not um localized by region they are defined by affiliation so this is a community there's many people let's say right here hassan ali younis who's in the chat right there claire jones who's right there many of you imran khan who was right there um

i see saracen many of you would be part i would feel are part of a community that i'm a part of like this is our kind of community i mean i'm not saying it's the whole of it but it's a it's a community that i definitely feel a part of when i've come on live today and i've seen these names and i see i don't see just strangers i see a familiarity i there's a a communal essence so it's shifted it's not that it doesn't exist we've

just redefined them they are no longer localized in neighborhoods and regions or locality they can be wherever but we have this remote kind of definition not definition but a remote connection so we know that such and such and such and such are the people that we interact with so yeah

uh right okay happy to be a part of this community shukran shukran likewise um you do in it you do and it lanzata right let's move on to the next question i'll i'm just checking here as well

um look at some people warrior hating on i see saracen for his super chat look how my yeah your warrior who is this warrior why and why is he hating on other people for showing love look at this look at this do the love man don't do the head this is the this is the the problem that we we have um mufti sab if i may ask

go on then ask fair mortaza you're doing it why is spirituality not given much focus in today's discussion of islam that's an interesting question i would rephrase that question and say that i feel spirituality has to be rediscovered that it is there it is an inherent part of islam islam is built upon the connection of the rooh but i feel in the centuries of institutionalization it got lost

so when people say spirituality today they think it's about i don't know like joining a tariqah of the subwoofer or doing something like this and that to me would not define spirituality at all i mean it may be an arbitrary factor maybe some people that do that end up becoming spiritual people but to me that's just another institutionalized process the spirituality has to be discovered i do feel that humanity as a collective

are in an era of spiritual renaissance that there is a spiritual awakening that is happening it may be slow but it is happening worldwide and it began maybe in the last two three decades and it's just simmered but it's and every now and then it may take a little leap and i feel it's happening regardless of faith that people who are not even maybe they're not even sure that they belong to a faith but they they find

within them this yearning for a spirituality and i tell you what will be in the future to come what will be the gateway and the pathway leading to god and that will be consciousness you i'm so certain of this that consciousness is the pathway that will lead millions back to god

right let's uh let's take a um oh sagitta matani modern world do you think from fake perspective minority views or new interpretations could become the norm yes that's a very good question and of course

ferc is our interpretation of what we think the rulings and the judgments ought to be our interpretations will vary with the day and age that's a natural progression so it's nothing surprising so let me give you an example allow me to elucidate right most people and i mean that in the outright almost everyone i would like to say everyone

but let's just say the overwhelming majority of mankind and that muslims specifically and people generally will agree that the concept the thought that one human may enslave

encapsulate another human into his or her property that this person is no longer deemed an equal with equal human rights and has become akin to a pet or an object that that person has become akin to a dog or a a cat or a piece of jewelry that a human can possess this thought is abominable

and it is an it is an absolute abomination and repulsive to the overwhelming majority of mankind on the globe today and this was the one of the trajectory objectives of islam to eliminate slavery but this this thought that you have this zeitgeist this feeling that we all and today feck would reflect that and you'd only have somebody who

is either seriously um suffering from some i don't know maybe some psychological health concerns who would think differently that would think slavery is still fine nobody in their right mind would think slavery is fine so you see that that is a entire shift of the human conscience in our time we have experienced it and so the fake would reflect that and in

fact if you read all of the thick books that were historic to them they wouldn't mostly they you see your you would be in an entirely different paradigm to them on these issues because because they lived in a world which was enveloped with slavery and it was it was so embedded into the structural and economic uh part of society that to them it was so normal that even if they didn't like slavery but they didn't really obsess over it

or concern themselves they just you know they don't like it but they don't think about it it's like that so they would have all clearly said yes it's fine to own a slave because they were just in and of their day and age i'm not blaming them we would think the same if i was born 700 years ago i would be saying exactly the same thing i would be saying this of course you can on a slave even if i didn't like the thought i would still say

that oh yeah but still what do you want us to do this and that's just we have to understand that that's just the way the world works and i give an example often of just think of um just think of governments we live in a day and age where governments are normal but in a few centuries i do feel we will move into a post-government world and those people will look back at us and think that you know can you believe that

they would let a bunch of people dictate and legislate and take taxes from them and they take income tax from them so for me to earn i have to pay and they they were fine with it they would think that and you can you keep what the hell was wrong with those people but today when we say government's rule over us and legislate there's nothing we're not i'm not anti-government because there is no alternative method that is better but

in the future i do feel that mankind will move away from government and they will become some kind of global i don't know how it will work but i do feel that just as cryptocurrency will is changing the entire landscape for currency it's only happening very slowly in right now but give it a few decades and it will have entirely shifted the game so because it's moved beyond centralized power there are governments don't hold the power to the currency and believe me money is more powerful than governments as you've learned from the book money

that we're in the past as yuval harari kings and gods have failed money still succeeds so as money becomes decentralized as bitcoin and these things are when governments don't control it anymore right now it's it's just the beginning so it's too far down you can't see it happening yet but as it becomes more and more powerful there will be shifts and the world will look entirely different but you see those people will look at us and they will think i don't understand how they ever accepted this just as we look at those ulaman think i don't know how

they accepted slavery but it was because it was their day and age and it was everywhere and and to be fair islam was very emphatic on freeing slaves but yet it did condone the practice because it existed and it was everywhere it was ubiquitous you couldn't you couldn't cancel out the global economic structures you just couldn't so

somebody said world war iii is predicted in just under 20 years ah i could tell you're a barrel of laughs thank you [Laughter] i bet you're the fun and joy of all your gatherings oh ridiculous future wars are not about wars you see you are blessed are the naive the game has already changed but you

just have to catch up that's the problem and the landscape for war has changed my friend [Laughter] ah world wars we won't be seeing world wars we'll see different kind of wars but not world wars right so meaning with mound [Laughter] from a lunar pleasure island think about that

right let's move on to um taking a look at some things on salah and i want to share this and have some discussion on it and then we could oh this is i've still got that if you haven't caught up with that then you can watch that i've got to do the next um mind trap and then we'll have that up there so

let's begin with these verses right salah people first of all let's just read through some of these verses then i'm going to give us an overview discuss the objectives and some of the rulings so you've got here surah taha i chose that as the as the first verse that in

see the important thing allah is that making it clear that there is nothing that really there are no that i know at one level it's saying that there is nothing to be worshipped other than god there are other layers to that in understanding that nothing nothing is worth devotion in essence even existence

you see when you place the the the the transitory the transient the impermanent next to the permanent when you place finite and next to infinite it doesn't exist you see infinity plus 1 or minus 1 is still infinity it doesn't work that way so in mathematics when you when the discourse is about god

his existence is real existence ours when juxtaposed is non-existence now allah reminds us that look worship devotion is to god establish the prayer for my remembrance or my mindfulness for this mindfulness of god this remembrance of god okay

the second verse that um now this is obviously to the prophet that recite to them what has been revealed to you to you in a s now this is another interesting verse and we're going to come back to this that not only it repeats the same thing establish the the salah why you establish it it's already mentioned for the remembrance of god but here a

function is mentioned as well in a salat that it has a function to it okay so that's interesting and i want to slightly uh unpack that but before we do just moving to the next verse where right here now this in suratul madathir actually i think have i missed

now this is an interesting verse these both of these verses here you are told at certain times to establish the prayer similar thing in the next verse suratul israel verse so it's talking about the sun when it moves or when it starts to and there's a huge debate on this and we'll come to that to nightfall

and the recitation of okay that the quran of fajr is something that is witnessed and then you've got this verse which i want us to come back to that this is from suratul when it's and it's a a dialogue expressed at the on the tongues of the people in hell that ma salah what brings you to this damn nation to hell we were not people who prayed

and we would deny in anything beyond death until certainty came to us allah and note it doesn't say until death came until certainty because that's in many ways in many ways that is what death is so okay let's take a quick oval view of salah just understanding first of all what is it what does it mean salah so in arabic they will say

things like this okay linguistically people say it gives some reference to adherence to um to achieving some people have argued da pray as in asking that kind of dua blessing prayer and also an allegiance an allegiance in this case to god okay so and what it is is they say it's

that it's um it begins with a takbir and it ends ends with a saying salam and it contains within it and it has what you can call pillars and conditions which include standing bowing sitting so this is salah okay now the important question is why must we pray think about it

every single religion has some form of devotion every single faith that is manifest or that that is manifested through some ritual every single religion has this and islam has laid out the salawat and it's done it in such a beautiful way if you're going to think about it we're going to come to how the format has been laid out but it's something that

it includes a physical one could say some form of i'm not it's not exercising in the sense of doing cardiovascular exercise but it is an exercising of physical postures okay it is performed in a way that can be done as a community or an individual but allows a person to collect themselves so it's actually quite genius the way it is done with elements of extreme

like bowing and prostrating even you think about it but also having moments of standing straight and just standing still for whatever minutes it takes at that time of the day this in and of itself is an incredible technique to bring the individual to ground them their thoughts are everywhere scattered bring them in okay now

is the purp so the purpose of salah the question why first why allah's answered the first verse we looked at here some people say as a remembrance like an utterance an expression of saying you worship god that's fine as well the other understanding is as a mindfulness to collect you now you may say one may ask here the question but often we're not very mindful in salah and that's true we're often not unfortunately but this is the brilliance of it

because it then sets you on a conveyor belt on a treadmill if you like that is lifelong where you are competing against you to improve because you're thinking okay i've not been attentive you know let me try and collect my and it doesn't work again but it doesn't matter you do it the next day it is about mindfulness that's its primary reason why we pray the next question is what does it do for us what does salah do for us the second verse

we looked at which i i believe was in surah anka boots now we've got if i just bring it there you go in suratul and kabut verse 45 now

you see this is interesting because here we're going to get into some cognitive dissonance the verse of the quran says salah prevents from fascia obscenities obscenities and from immorality or reprehensible actions from doing basically from doing bad things but does it though because this is a question does it when how many people do we know that pray and do absolutely utterly repulsive things

many i'm sure if you know people who pray then you definitely know people unfortunately you unfortunately i hope you don't know anyone that does that but unfortunately many of us will know people that pray and they commit atrocities and they look at isis as an example it doesn't salah in and of itself doesn't mean anything it doesn't mean that you're a good person but then this verse in surat al-ankabut suggests that does it not in the salat

and here you you say well you're right the verse does suggest that and i'll just bring you back to it so you can see it there it is now you are right that here this verse it's interesting because if you take a look at it allah is telling the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam okay so primarily this is addressing the prophet sallallahu alaihi

that you recite to them and then allah does mention about establishing the prayer but it's in the singular command why because it's to the prophet primarily it's not akimu where it may say but but here in this verse akim you to the prophet stabbed in fashion so who is the embodiment of that character that has

devotion in salah that can tell you that this salah can be a mean a means of such mindfulness and god consciousness that you can become a much better person that is the messenger of allah not every muslim that's the that's the aspiration that it can do that not that it by necessity will so this is very important to to remember that because people often

the amount of times you'll speak to someone they'll he relationships will be a good good case scenario many people will say oh i'm stuck in an abusive relationship i married this guy i made an absolute mistake and you you'll ask okay did you talk to the person before you got married did you know each other did you oh you see he prayed five times a day so i thought well that's the well you see now that's naivety assuming that because somebody prays they are some kind of a

a a great human being they are not salah has the potential there's an aspiration that this a person through this can become very mindful can become god conscious not necessarily it's not the only way either to be to become god-conscious or to become a great human being there's many great human beings who are not even muslim they care about human beings they have impeccable

they in their own way may be very god conscious and we covered that in the previous verse that allah doesn't say muslims when he's speaking about in those verses about people being god-conscious so this function what does salah do for us well what it does is it is this what you have is an umbilical cord connecting you to transcendental spirituality if you work on it what you have if you do become

devoted yes there are a hadith that say that a person who commits to salah allah will bless their risk now these ahadith are counter intuitive because it doesn't make sense it doesn't you think well how can my risk be improved because what's my salah got to do with my business for example and it's true that these look at my phone they're switching on it's true these are counter-intuitive um equations but there is a sense of tawakkul that in some of the hadith it does state that

through through things like salah will bless your risk but it doesn't mean that does not mean that it is an in and of itself in an income so if a person thinks look oh i i want to make money i know i'll sit at home and just pray that's it's nothing to do with that that none of the hadith are trying to say that that you need to ask yourself when you ask what does the salah do for me you're like what is its function for me you see the problem lies in your thinking

the salah is not here to serve you it is a mechanism by which you religiously punctually offer some gratitude yes we may do a terrible job of it take it we'll start again the next day maybe it'll be a lifelong practice it's we collect ourselves and we offer some gratitude to god what does it do for me no it's not about what what do i do for people in serving god or what do i do to serve god is the

question this what does it do for me is that's what it will do it will serve as that ritual and i'll add i've said this before as well we are in a day and age where people are realizing through psychology that rituals are incredibly important having a ritual in life it actually adds to the structure so people have to invent rituals and we've got one we've got such a powerful ritual of salah so you begin your day with it you end your day with it but don't see it

as a burden don't see as a burden see it as something that you want to do yeah i want to you know let me take a bit of time let me do this offering and and you may lapse happens whenever you come whenever your heart comes around to yeah i want to pray come and pray it says it's like that that this islam is always there with its doors wide open that's that's my uh understanding but i want to highlight that about the the

function today was the right so okay coming to the actual salah let's mention some quick points on it they clearly are five salahs in a day the quran does not precisely mark out the salahs for us okay the salawat salawat is plural i know i'm saying it in english so salah but it doesn't tell us that for example this is the name of this salah this is when this allah happens there are two verses in the quran that scholars have used to highlight that well this can count as five prayers in a day

so they say some ulama for example they use the verse so they say look that's speaking about the on the two two sides of the day so they say that some have said that's they've used the verse of saying means a little portion later so they've said well okay that's

so they've used that to say look five salahs are in the quran fair enough uh it one can take that ruling that the five are listed in the quran but they're not clear cut listed like that we take our understanding of the five prayers through the living tradition of islam which has been passed down through film so each community practiced they so around the prophet they learned they taught it to the community and their children who taught it to their children who taught it to their children in which time they started to document it

and it's been something that has been passed down as the living tradition it's what i call the living tradition of islam okay and so this is where we've really learned about salah it's not the five salahs we haven't really learned them they're not listed in the quran in that way although you can through those two verses extract the kind of the five prayers if you like there is a difference among certain people i know certain practices so certain traditions they combine

praise so they still so within the the shiite tradition they often will combine they still have five prairies but they combine the hara nassar and may combine maghrib but they still believe in five prairies as well but they just combine them in their offerings come combining salah is also done in sunni in the sunni tradition generally it's done by most people so okay with the exception of the hanafi method that generally does not believe in the permissibility to combine prayers all other schools of sunni islam believe

that you can combine prayers hanafi is only accepted in hajj which is the madhhab but they say so in hajj you can combine praise otherwise you can never combine prayers and some of them consider i mean i suppose they do consider it uh almost sinful to combine prayers but really that's an extreme position to take we do respect their views but the majority of sunni islam clearly accepts and the majority of islam really sunni and non-sunni accepts that you can combine prayers you can combine zohar and assad which are the day prayers and you can combine

maghrib and aisha now they disagree amongst themselves um in the detail when can you combine them they mostly say for some kind of they say for for uh to prevent inconvenience or hardship so okay hardship to prevent hardship they all pretty much agree on inconvenience and then some scholars have gone to the extent to say well even if if it didn't become a habit but you were let's say to make life easy because that's another layer down

you could combine those prayers so people like ibn asserine from the salah people like ashhab from the malikia they said that you could if let's say a person had to go somewhere i'm going i don't know i'm going shopping somewhere obviously in their day and age as well they used to do their version of have to go to this town and get some food but it's not actually that far but by going you know what i'm just going to combine the praise today and go they said well as long as you're not doing it every single day and making it a habit then it's fine so you can see there's a vast difference and this hadith that the prophet would combine the prayers for rain if it was raining he would combine madrid

let's say and then there's some hadith that the prophet would combine when just to create ease as ibn abbas said when in his famous narration he was praying and uh sorry he was giving a speech and the salah time went and he didn't stop and pray and people said to him what what on earth do you think you're doing it's allah time you know you get the holier than thou people so they were trying to remind ibn abbas for the illinois about the salah so he he just didn't ignored them and then afterwards he got down when the time when he finished whatever he was doing

and then prayed and combined and he said that the prophet combined between prayers even when it was not raining and even when there was no danger and this and they asked him why would he do that and he said so he could create ease for his ummah so these are the differences around the prayer and the times when they offered there are some naturally some differences i don't want to go too much into this because there's so much to cover the the malikia the school of medina and some the shafa is well i believe

um they kind of borrow a bit of this as well from the malikis but the maliki's have this thing that the times of prayer overlap so what they do with that is they say that the whole time is the whole time and other time obviously this is going to sound at this point it's going to sound a bit simplistic and stupid but just bear with me so they say asthma time is after time however you see other time is also a what they call a daruri a necessary time for the heart but it is still a hard time so they divide the time of prayer into

two times ichthyari so what they call what you can call the default time or by choice the chosen time let's say selected time let's put it like that and then you have the necessary time so basically if you were praying zahar in later time you're not praying it as a

maid of prayer you're not praying as kabbalah you're praying as adam because it's still the hard time but and they do the same thing with maghrib and aisha so they say maghrib time is madrid and isha time is madrid so so as you can see some of the methods have a different way of looking at salah and this is something going on since the time of imam malik coming to our day and age so nothing too uh it's good to always learn if you don't know about that then that's a learning curve alhamdulillah you're

learning something new about islam and how the scholars looked at things differently okay and so that's an overview what's also interesting is how when does the salah become obligatory it's interesting that there's a debate do they become obligatory because of the time that they are attached to or with the time that they are attached to as imam shah to be highlights now why does this make a difference let's say isha it becomes obligatory

when the horizon after sunset has kind of all started to kind of darken now is it just placed with that as a contingent or is it buying a set is that what makes it obligatory so let's say when in those in the parts in those countries in the world or that part of the world that where it doesn't get that dark after sunset then isha doesn't technically kick in if you say it's because of that time because that time if allah has only made isha obligatory obligatory when

it the the sunset horizon has darkened but you live in a part of the world where it doesn't darken so after sunset it stays light it's what they call the twilight then isha technically hasn't kicked in so the other way of looking at it is as imam shatabhi writes in his mafikat that salah does not become obligatory because of the time it becomes obligatory with that time so the obligation already exists it's just this is the alarm for it and if that alarm isn't there you can estimate

a different alarm so you can just estimate it and pray and some people also use another hadith the hadith of the jail to say well you can estimate times as well and this was the famous um the popular debate that i think in recent years that sheikh was having in the uk about the twilight period in um in the summer time in the uk because isha time technically doesn't kick in and and neither does uh fajr time you can't tell when fajr begins so there was a debate does isha exist or

not and this is a hanafi debate as well historically so okay i thought i'd cover some of these issues was there anything i thought was there any notes i made right actually a quick little point salah being as important as it is what if you don't pray are you considered a kafir now that is such a huge claim so naturally like anything in fek the scholars of islam have massively disagreed on this there is nothing in the quran that states by leaving salah you become a kafir

however people have used verses of the quran like this verse right here that you can see uh from surah madathir that where the inhabitants of damnation and hell ask what brings you to hell they say kalu lam nakum we were not from those who prayed as you can see verse 43 however the verse says don't stop thee because they go on to say we were not those who fed the poor and we would be amongst those who stirred up trouble and we were amongst

those who used to deny any life after death so i think it's a bit uh unfair to stop it after the first verse and say that was the cause for them to go into hell because that is mentioned as a factor amongst many variables amongst many factors for the ruin of these people that they were horrible to mankind that they wouldn't feed the poor that they used to stir trouble that they were you know mischievous that they used to deny any reckoning and and and notice it says the word nuka them that you know that this was their denial

and the way they denied the reckoning so now however there have been certain ulama that have said look if you abandon the prayer you are a kafir okay and amongst them was imam ahmad ibn humble there was imam is away mubarak some tiny proportion of the malikiya like abdul abdul malik habib al-maliki seems to have gone that way a bit disappointing on that one but hey you know that's that's not imam malik or the maliki method but

just one odd maliki there but you have these scholars primarily who who stood for that if you left the salah you became a kafir and they based this on a variety of hadith transmitted a lot of them from people from companions like ana signa malik there's also some from alba de tibnas this um yes i believe there's a narration from ibn abbas although that's weak but many of these are weak as well by the

way uh these narrations but there's the variations of a hadith saying now what's interesting is this hadith or this variation even though there's problems in the chains in several of the chains but even if we accept it it says the covenant between us and them you see now what's interesting is the hadith is speaking about identity what demarcates the believers from the disbelievers in the time and it mentions the thing was salah

that we do this collective practice as an identity so whosoever is abandoning it is as though they're abandoning us now that's the um that's the hadith and these slight variations of what's interesting is in many variants it says whosoever leaves it intentionally and it mentions and like and past like you oh i don't want to kind of pray in some variations it says whosoever

leaves it is now a mushrik which once again doesn't really make any sense the majority sunni schools of islam and the majority of all people even non-sunnis within islam have believed that salah leaving salah does not make someone a kafir in fact ibn al-makhdasi argues that even he tries to dissociate imam ahmed from that position saying that it's wrong what they say about imam ahmed his real opinion was that you're not a kafir so this is the debate surrounding it there

are many hadith what's interesting is uh there's hadith a number of hadith that um and i may do i have one here actually let me see um i don't know if i oh right so actually i do you've got two right there from um you've got the first one from here that he mentions

that there will come a time in islam where there is nothing except the word that people beyond saying that there's nothing about their islam they don't pray they don't do anything so the person says and will that be of any avail does that help them he said that of course it grants them eternal salvation you see so and this varied narrations you can see um this is a similar one there by uh that whosoever says who believes in god and believes in the messenger of allah it's interesting that he mentions there about

jesus as well that being a servant of god but the word of god and the spirit of god i thought that was an interesting uh kind of uh because the early community having this judeo-christian tradition and then it's interesting that they transmit that uh in saying that mentioning when jesus is the word of god and it's interesting interesting but coming to the point that you've got here

um people saying it is enough as you can see in that hadith for people being muslims it is unacceptable so okay just finishing the debate first of the discussion that that's what demarcates so there were a tiny amount of ulama that said um and it's not about the numbers it's not about a democratic process although the overwhelming majority of sunni and non-sunni islam said that salah does not make you a careful if you leave salah but it's not about democracy it's about the evidence the evidence in the quran

sunnah does not show that people by leaving salah became kafir okay so that seems to be a very um it is a view but it's a it doesn't seem to be a strong view at all can somebody call other muslims a kafir you cannot at all utterly if they don't pray it's it's you first of all you are not god and you are not a prophet of god and nobody is in a position to be calling muslims kafir over whether they pray or don't pray it is not your domain

islam is here for you to practice your salah is for this is for each and every one of us we pray you can encourage someone to pray you can encourage you can't impose salah on someone okay it is unacceptable to impose salah so it's interesting that in the time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi they wouldn't even call someone to salah after the other they would call consider that generally a lot of the salaf consider that a bidah they call it tathweep so you know calling something like saying someone hey let's go pray uh or knocking on someone's door saying let's go pray was

according to the salaf considered it in islam and it was because the adhan has been done so nobody calls anyone it's a personal responsibility you have to be mature enough to conduct it yourself there's no harm in going with your friends if i said to my friend look we're going to go together so why don't you come to mine and we go together that's different but going up to someone to kind of tell them i don't i mean it's

i'm just saying many of the self considered it a i if a person does it out of goodwill then okay fine you know that's something they they do out of goodwill but if the if it's patronizing then it shouldn't be done and if it's imposing then it's actually they they are doing a double wrong so not only do they not understand islam and its rulings they are actually committing a wrong by trying to impose it on someone so that's the ruling surrounding salah i i thought it's very important let's share it cool let's uh

move on people right uh okay quick add-on question since we covered salah somebody's asked about witter um right this that's not the question but okay i'll come to that question uh

i love the comment i watched all you love your work allah much love but there was a question about witar um since we discussed salah okay fair enough we'll cover it very quickly the only obligatory of the fourth prayers okay the obligatory prayers are the fourth prayers the son and prayers are not obligatory although it's very good practice and highly emphasized in islam to pray the the son and pray but in a binary code if you're looking at it through a strict binary you have everything is fun or it is a

nafal it is a kind of voluntary prayer so you see the different like the maliki method that's how they see it they see it in a binary that you have followed and then you have everything is amongst the nawaf and you have the sunnah which are so it is a voluntary prayer but it is highly emphasized voluntary meaning it's a voluntary to do it's not an obligation but it's highly emphasized and some sunan so that weren't practiced much by the profit are considered what we call musta mustahab okay recommended prayers so in

the maliki method there's no such thing as just general nafal so right by that let me qualify that what i mean by that is there's no set nothing like the way the hanafi's have so the hanafi's will say zahar has to nafal and tha that in the maliki's and the shafi's doesn't really make much sense especially in the military it doesn't make any sense because nothing you see according to the hanafi's just means a bonus prayer which is fine according to the hanafi mother but you see according to the maliki method you

only pray with the salah what the prophet taught you and if you want to pray extra you can but they never defined there's no definit there's no parameters to extra prayers you want to pray 50 extra prayers you want to pray two it's up to you but you can't have a defined parameter uh you shouldn't anyway so they generally so when the so there's an overlap of terminology when the ma when these methods use the word like mustahab or recommended the maliki method is talking about

and when we say sunnah we're only talking about but the emphasize have another cat they have several of the categories so they have a category called wajib which is in between and sunnah and in that they place witter so they say winter is obligatory if you don't pray you are sinful according to the hanafi method and the hanafi's to be fair in the categorizations are a lot more strict so they will consider if you don't praise even the sunan i think if you don't pray the sunan there's debate they may even consider

you sinful then and there's a lot of they are quite strict in their way of looking at things all of these things are just the efforts of scholars these are not coming to us from the quran or from the sunnah like that so if a person feels a bit uncomfortable it's up to them which method they want to go with which fick they want to go with just because you're born in a particular fig doesn't mean you have to stick with it i'm not saying obviously i am saying the maliki method is much better but i'm not saying the hanafi mother is a bad mother it's not it's a it's also you know an awesome method but today unfortunately there is a lot of

bureaucracy in that method which has um kind of made it very you know it's troubled waters shall we say but otherwise it is also an awesome method with many kind of incredible rulings in it okay let's move on right um any news any news on sheikh atabek i don't know tuning in from new york much love mufti shukra and shukran i'm not sure what um what you mean news about shaykh

do you mean about coming on mind trap i'm not last i heard rasheed was interested but he had some court cases going on and um which he speaks about publicly on his facebook so um i know he's just been very busy with them right so people well we've gone on so much so long today um speaking of salah that we spoke of there was a little story i thought i'd share with you but before i do there's a build-up a legend of within islamic history let

me see if i can bring up here he is people let me present to you me he is de facto the

maybe the word founder isn't really accurate but he is the key figure in islamic history who establishes the mohad dynasty which in arabic is the muhidin dynasty they were one of the most powerful industries sorry industries what was saying dynasties in islam and in its heyday ruled over the most

the largest region that any dynasty i suppose maybe the early umayyad could be excluding them but generally especially in later islam that any dynasty ruled over so they they ruled much more than this in their heyday in the map there that you can see this was in the early mohad dynasty so what happens later on they move further north and they conquer most of the iberian peninsula that is most of spain and all of portugal and most of spain and africa they go further south

uh inc so as to inc so as to incorporate a third of the african continent and you can see this here was the flag that kind of checked board that you can see yeah there you go it's an inspiration for either they love playing chess and that's some designs from the time of the mohawk dynasty they were an immensely powerful and incredibly affluent uh dynasty and so really known for the

kind of military strength the mohad allah the people of tawheed because they began with muhammad who was the mahdi he claimed to be the mahdi a messiah and he was fed up with the murabi dynasty or the moravid they spell it as v but the v and b in spanish is the same but um or in arabic the morabit the murabithin they were fed up with the murabitin

kind of preached and he was considered maybe a madman by many but then he got his believers as as people do and he started to tell them and he got his special elite kind of special select people and told them and gave them all these promises and said they were there to establish the kingdom of god and he tried and and he miserably failed it doesn't sound very good when you say it like that but the man tried

you know and he was the caliph of the murabithin actually had him arrested on a particular occasion you know it just goes to show huh sometimes you have it right there in your hand you don't know what you're in position on so he actually had him and he said um he said that what shall we do with him and they said that execute him the mahdi this is what they they told the caliph

and the caliph looked at him and he said he said why he said they said do you really see any threat from from him [Laughter] all the while mahdi he's he said in the words of raj kumar that hum up

that so he basically he let him go the caliph of the murabitin he said he had him imprisoned and and they told him look the the viziers advised the ministers they said that execute him better safe than sorry when in doubt just kill when in doubt put out so there you go so they they said look just to be on the safe side uh execute him and he looked at him and he said well this is just a mad man you know what could a madman possibly do against the

might of a dynasty will you see allah says but those days we circulate them amongst people so at times a person can become deluded [Laughter] so they let him go and he did he tried to he rallied a little crew and then he got a bit bigger and then he had a little he had some he had a troop you could say like a brigade and they tried to attack

marrakesh or marrakesh was the uh the capital for it was in fact it was made by the murabitin the murabi dynasty so they tried to attack it and obviously they failed miserably and they tried again and and then he tried to recruit more members to his kind of it was a borderline cult because they believed him to be the messiah the mahdi and many of them lost their lives and um and the mahdi himself almost got killed in battle eventually

he does get injured and then he retreats and then he fails in his attempt he never sees the success that his words had set into motion you see but i tell you have you guys heard of the pygmalion effect in case you say mufti doesn't share psychology with you see the pygmalion effect is an effect that it's like a self it's like a fulfilling prophecy that somebody you treat somebody in an in

accordance with an aptitude a capability and then they perform in accordance to that expectation so a coach sees he assumes let's say he treats a particular player let's say a football coach or whatever i don't know whatever sport he treats a member with a certain expectation that oh come on you can do better than that and then that member performs in in accordance to the expectation so

this is seen as the pygmalion effect and it can be called like a self-fulfilling prophecy as well and this is what happens you see along comes this individual so they spell it uh p y um pygmalion not pig as in pig pig but pyg pygmalion effect so yes thank you somebody wrote it out here yeah there it is thank you scope right so along comes mahdi was a berber by the way but the morabitin were also barbara they were

berbers as well along comes this individual from this tribe um his name is young man nothing special not from any it's not a luminary it's not from any elite in fact it is a young man capable but nothing special about him but he catches the eye of mahdi ibn tomorrow

in his first encounter with ivana tomorrow the mahdi he the mahdi says to him he looks at him and he says he asks him what's your name what's your name young man and he says abdullah and he just kind of glances straight into his eyes and he tells him that allah has written greatness for you he says that at your hands

great civilizations will crumble and he says and at your knees dynasties will collapse in front of you these words of the mahdi ibn tumor struck so powerfully into the psyche of abdul mukhmen that he went on to conquer the murabid dynasty and establish an empire of his own that would not only span over a century

but become one of the most powerful empires in in human civilization in its age abdul mu'min takes that so much to heart that he once the mahdi passes away he kind of wages this relentless campaign where he refuses to give up and in a sudden turn of the tide the this new cult gains the upper hand

and conquers and the moment they conquer marakesh the capital the rest of the cities and towns collapsed to them and he goes on and they were obviously fighters that there's no doubt about that but it's this belief that he had in himself and it's amazing how these beliefs are instilled by words that are no short of magic will lie [Laughter] when people speak of magic

i was speaking on my discord group my patreon discord group the other day and i was saying that take a look at elon musk he sends a tweet with a few words and they change the face of current economics how is this not what the ancients would have called magic by uttering a few words

you see in the past somebody would believe i say hocus pocus or i say a magic spell and this happens and here is a man who i i personally am in awe of as well elon musk who sends a tweet with a few words and the entire crypto market trembles wow the power of words people

abdulla ali was somebody like that as well and the mahdi whatever however weird some of his beliefs were he was a man whose words struck powerfully when he chose them to and the reason i was mentioning up the uh uh abdulmutman ibn ali was he sets up this great empire but he sets it in accordance with the belief of the mahdi so one of the things they do is the world that they conquer was mainly maliki in felk

so what they do is they launch this attack against maliki filk because they say that maliki faith is a deviation and the mahdi said we reject all these schools of law and we only go by the quran was sunnah nice claim but it was from the messiah the mahdi at the time and so they reject all these schools of law and he was also very surprisingly the mahdi uh was mahdi tomorrow was incredibly asha'ali so he imposed

now so this becomes the the trend and this becomes the the kind of constitution that no judges maliki judges are allowed to teach or uh preach maliki and no judge can rule by maliki fit and we must get rid of these books so what happens is this this dynasty now passes from after um sorry abdul mukmin rules for around 30 years i believe he has a very incredibly powerful reign after him it's his child yusuf who is also quite anti fit

and then his child yakub known as yakubu mansoor who made a rabbat in morocco today rabat al-fat was a city created by yakubu so um and those of you that know the kotobiya in a maracas in marrakesh today that was built in his time yakubu mansur and that's why they have and he had the same in seville so seville was the iberian capital so in spain it was seville ishbilia and in africa it was marrakesh so

and you had the same tower built in both now in yakubu mansur's time uh he also commanded that we get rid of all of uh maliki fit books he reinforced that doctrine and we burn in fact we get rid and burned and but to be fair to jakub mansoor he was incredibly he was he was an enlightened individual and was not dogmatic at his core so even though he carried began with the tradition of his ancestors in saying we believe in the mahdi and we do this and we do that

but he was open to reason and as he started to engage with scholars they showed him that and he he saw that his ways were wrong like they didn't add up so he actually changed the beliefs he was the first of the mohad the mahidin to remove the mahdi belief from the dynasty and say we no longer endorse the mahdi we no longer endorse that he was ma assume infallible we don't even in fact he removed the mahdi ness entirely from the dynasty and he he was very pro philosophy in fact he's the one who meets ibn rust

uh and has that debate and discussion with him and he was very open and he later on became very comfortable with maliki coming back even though it wasn't formally instated but he kind of turned a blind eye and allowed it despite in his early days saying that we should burn the books and i'll tell you this is and it ties in incredibly with our salah segment that you see in his early days you know when ah josh ah youthfulness you know when the power of youth ah he's like

he would say burn all the maliki thick books who are these people so what they do is in um in one of his gatherings i think it may have been in seville he he rounds up the scholars the great scholars and the caliph comes the kanga humble yourself in the presence allah of his majesty huh and the wazir the minister first stands up and he gives a khutbah

and he says that we we've what is this he says that that they continue to preach these books of the malikiyah and this and the that and they have been outlawed and they continue to teach this math hub and all this kind of stuff and he gives this kind of speech and then yeah rises up so he he stands and he says he says it reaches me that they say

that in the kitab that they have a book they refer to as al-kitab and anybody who knows malik effect knows what al-kitab is al-kitab is the madhubana of the fatawa of imam malik we call it al-kitab it's referred to in the books they say phil kita in al-kitab he says that they say that we find that it is said in al-kitab he says what is al-kitab the book what is this the book the book the book or this one he says what is this the book he says that

they say that in the book it says if a person is praying and something happens to his prayer let him repeat it in the time as in if the time is gone then he doesn't have to repeat it if he remembers out of the time but in the time if he recalls he should repeat it says what is this nonsense he says there is no book al-kitab except kitab allah allah what a dialogue though what a quote and he says if the salah is either valid or is invalid he

says if it is valid then there's no need to repeat it and if it is invalid they must always repeat it where do they get this nonsense from and he said burn these books so all of these scholars are standing there in silence nobody's daring to kind of nobody dares to kind of speak so there was a maliki legend by the name of nazar allah legend of his time from seville in spain and he says

he says you know i i couldn't take it anymore i can't take it man this one too personal you know he says i couldn't take it anymore and this nazarcon is the same person who has a commentary on the mata where he combines al baji and the the the istithkaar of ibn abdullah in one book called the uh anwar so this is legend he kind of he he says if i have permission to speak

so yakub looks at him thinks huh this is gone then what he says to him that look if you allow me he says that this issue that you speak of its evidence is in the sunnah he says there is a hadith in the sahih that a man came to the masjid and prayed in front of the prophet salallahu

stand and pray again because you did not pray properly he says the person repeated it and the person the prophet said again um and this happens a very famous hadith by the way in which the prophet repeats it about three times and then he says to the prophet i don't know teach me how to pray and the prophet says when you do when you stand do this when you go into raku do this and the prophet outlines the prayer he says the prophet only commanded him to repeat the prayer of the time did not tell him to repeat all his gun prayers

this struck mansour like a thunderbolt because you know this attitude of we get rid of the methods get rid of we don't need the methods we this kind of empty claim that we go by quran was sunnah and as though ima the school of medina didn't and just because you don't know the evidences to assume that they don't have evidences it struck him like a thunderbolt so he kind of just dropped his head and he just left and they say it's after that he advised

his ministers that leave him alone like if they want to practice and teach maliki let them do it and so this would then became a turning point in the entire mohad dynasty and this is the time where people like ibn arush were alive and ibn zargon and uh ibn abi jadha and all these great scholars but i thought i'd share that story with you because it was incredibly interesting that you've got this salah point you've got these caliphs you've got this and and also this arrogance of thinking that when scholars come up with rulings that they don't know what they're talking about just because it doesn't

appear to you to by saying that the maliki say oh you only repeat the prayer of the time if something went wrong in it but let's say you didn't let's say something went wrong in yesterday's prayer but then you forgot and today you remembered about it it's not necessary to repeat it so now that sounds because in a black and white world people say well either the prayer is wrong or it's right if it's wrong then you should always repeat it but yet these scholars imam malik built that ruling upon upon

knowledge whosoever knows it knows it whosoever doesn't doesn't i thought i'd share that with you it was an incredible story i love these kind of stories you know when i read them i kind of get all kind of i'm like whoa i get really kind of drawn into it all right so right let's uh move on mufti would this be covered in your allendales from rise to fall i don't know if this story is covered in there i can't remember now i have to redo that

series because it's been so long i see saracen you doing and you do and uh much love for the super chat right so what's your view on the 11th century spanish knight rodrigo diaz el sid was he pro-muslim or anti-muslim el sid which comes from the arabic word uh is a known character or personality which comes from the arabic word el sayyid because the arabs especially the moroccans they would the north africans they would or the moors they don't say say it often they would just say seed

so even today they say siddhi as opposed to saying so el seed was el sayyid and he was like a um a client knight if you like he was i mean he was uh he was a he was for hire he was a mercenary that you could hire and he i don't think he was against islam some people claim he may have even been muslim i don't know uh i don't think it's clearly stated there are some arguments i a

it's been years now watched something where there was some speculation that he may have been muslim but it's possible but he seems to be an independent figure that was uh he was available for hire if you want to hire him he was a mercenary i mean he was a very good warrior and so he had his own kind of little crew that you know this kind of army and muslims at times he fought alongside muslims at times he fought against muslims sometimes he fought alongside christians sometimes against christians so that's um yeah

all right so okay shook him for that all right that kind of froze there for a moment um all right i didn't share the link today did i oh i tell you what shall i share it or has it been too i'll tell you what subscribe i just share it for one or two people maybe kill one then let's see

there you go i've shared the link alright mufti you've become interested in the subwoof i'm not interested in this tessa wolf if that's depends what you mean by tasa wolf it depends what you mean by that so i'm not i'm interested in the raw i'm interested in which i translate as consciousness i'm interested in those people that walk

that path historically from islam like i'm interested in those people like mansoor halage or maulana rumi or people like that that were people of the path that kind of spoke on these intricate issues of consciousness and non-duality and ego death and stuff like that i am very interested in that i'm not interested in any institutionalized process i'm not interested in institutions

right so all right what is going on oh [ __ ] that girl let me check i don't think there was any mm-hmm all right all right all right

when you say paba kapohan did the prophet makeup i've i've discussed this before i've got a video on youtube watch it where i speak about baba and the differences and i even highlight my view about that so i'm i'm not said anything about kava on this apart from speaking about the story of repeating the salah in the time so as long as it's the salah's time and the debate between ibn zarkoon and yakubu

but i've not discussed on the topic here so you've misunderstood me oh right okay you're saying you're responding yep okay sugar and sugar what's that i should do audio books [Music] that's an interesting thought should i then you'd have to hear my voice hello people hello [Laughter]

what are your thoughts on loa what's loa what's loa people um what's load what is loa what are your thoughts on loa did you see dawa talk about the vaccine damage i didn't see i don't know what our talk is i have a law of association law of association

no idea who they are um musti from bosnia far much love much love shukran shuklan right um all right so would i be having feras the herbie on mine trap in the future inshallah why not why not i am in touch with feras in fact he just messaged me last week just catching up so

um yeah he was telling me a lot kind of going on in canada as well and the whole lockdown is tensing and but yeah i mean it's getting quite you know stressful i thought no so uh yeah inshallah why not i do look forward to it but he is very busy as well i do respect that

[Music] shukran shukran uh asim khan from houston salaam good pig segment shukran i appreciate it those of you that haven't watched my segment on why is pork haram watch it it's on youtube i give a detailed overview of what led to this understanding of the of the impurity of pork so i give that explanation they are going to detail about the kind of um historical development of that um

[Music] of that of the repulsive stigma that is so deep in the psyche of the judeo christian especially judeo tradition so oh law of attraction right okay i have spoken about that previously the law of attraction

our snakey to somebody called snake eater is asking oral snakes halal to eat and do other stuff with [Laughter] what this other stuff man oh part of this other stuff pre-determination in general well that's a lengthy comment uh lengthy question pre-determined i'm too exhausted to do that right now to be honest to cover that

rami pumpkin spice latte on me habibi there's only this many you know you could say there's many uh hippa many kind of habibs beloveds out there but there's only one rami habib all right that's his name from me by the way so i see sarasota you're doing it too much and this is so much love yeah i i'm getting

can you do an episode on the ancient israelite civilization ancient israelite civilization what do you mean by the ancient israelite civilization do you mean um as in the israelites the whole journey or do you mean by that um [Music] just the kind of monarchy the united monarchy and hmm that would be an interesting kind of discussion

mufti ustad osama cannon i have got a video if you haven't watched my video discussing um the passing of osama cannon and also me just hearing my thoughts unfiltered about the the whole just the the phenomenon and how i do feel and i stand by my words that ustad osama was betrayed by his community and by the industry at large with all the clerics and imams involved and so

yeah i do i stand by that and because it's yeah you know it's um you see what hurts is the ultimately this is nothing but just another industry isn't it [Laughter] when we have to be real about it and it's kind of a bit painful when you think about it this is why when somebody said are you interested in the subwoofer i'm not interested in any of these industries i don't want to really be a part of any of these power structures and um [Music] yeah

it's it's a shame isn't it that that's become the it's very um saddening in that sense that what's that poem that there's

[Laughter] he says that these of you know you have uh neem kash's half open eyes i suppose i suppose in english they might say kind of come to bed eyes oh but these um nincash half open eyes

this you know this kind of smile that you carry says this is nothing but a kind of tantalizing it's a tease it's nothing but a simple fraud a deception but may allah make things easy you know it's yeah let's see is another nora parish oh shukran muchas gracias um the night diver had a question i wonder

about too why does quran say allah will harden the hearts of disbelievers would that be setting up people to fail no i think right so that's a very good question now you'll notice in many of the verses where it speaks and there's several verses in the quran where it speaks about the hearts heartening sorry

tell it's getting late now the hearts hardening so for example and in many of these allah will say that it was by the the the disease that was in their hearts

you see the thing is that this is what intensifies that they were on a path so when allah says that he misguides or then he hardens the hearts let's say what this is in reference to is allowing people to take those parts you see if you and this ties in i did say i'd answered the question about law of attraction but it ties in in to some extent to that question also because

you see what you put out the allah will allow you and even if you seek that path then those doors will be held open for you if that's what you want so if you put out evil and harmful kind of aspirations if we can call them that all these kind of male intentions these dark desires in that sense malicious you put it out there that this is what

you are this is what you you're on this path of destruction then allah will allow you to be on that path and by extension by zooming out one could say allah has then enabled them but as you zoom in it is be it is that these people are seeking that path allah is not turning him away from he's not doing anything he's allowing it then and one could say oh in that sense from a perspective one could say oh so allah has misguided them but really and in

that sense you have allah has that or has that name the one who allows to be misguided because ultimately when you're coming back in it is the willpower and the decisions and the kind of the the not not just goals but what these people are seeking so this is why i said it ties into that kind of law of attraction thing that they are putting it out the they are sending out these kind of

malicious frequencies if you like and allah is allowing it he's not going to and from that extension you could say well allah hardens their hearts but it's not setting them up to fail it's not that these are good people uh who are seeking to do good and the lies then saying oh you know that person we're going to trip him up not at all um but shukran that's a a very interesting question indeed right all right so okay
