Misrepresenting Mufti | Mufti Abu Layth

go on then people if anybody's hating black um but only people who are hating not genuine questions even if the questions even if the questions appear provocative but if they're not route like if they're not swearing then me um or they're not just trolling then don't block them okay so because I do have a very outright but they I do have an outright policy that you can ask me anything about Islam and there's many people on my show who are not Muslim and there's many people who are ex-muslim

there's many people who are agnostic that watch my show and they ask me questions and I and I don't expect you to be behave like Muslims towards Islamic you know sentiments and Islamic symbols so I don't expect you to you know you can ask questions now somebody somebody objected to me they said I was asked a question and actually I won't you know what I actually I want to mention something here I wanna say a few words and people this is an important message I'd like you to actually pay attention and this inshallah this message especially when it's set out as

a separate clip I would like you to share this forum why to two people okay I'd like to say something being serious in this topic you see I had a very interesting encounter just just the other day I bumped into someone and he had a chat with me and he was deeply offended or he felt he was offended by what I'd said now he was also I could tell that he felt hurt he felt his I think he said his name was Yaseen but

from Birmingham and just met him locally just where we just chill out and he came and and we had this chat now he'd said you see now this is what I want to address part of the propaganda against me that people put out now that's what I want to address I want to say that look by all means disagree with me hate what I say Eve I don't mind even if you hate it I don't mind if you refute it I don't mind if you mock it

what I my opinions like let's say I say oh I think this is how this happened or this is my view on this so I'm going to speak a little later on on Harut and Marut these two alleged angels that were teaching people magic and what is this story about now you might disagree with my view on this you might decide and you might take the mick out of or anything I don't mind okay I'm entitled to an opinion you're entitled to an opinion you're entitled to an opinion about me as well yeah no objection to that but don't you see this is especially what I'm saying

this part it goes out to people like preachers people like us are our asura sheet and other people who actually propagate hatred against me now what they do is I see if they just present my mesial as it is as what I'm saying I have no problem with that but they will lie and then present that so they teach things like and this is not just restricted to us rod these are the people as well they say that I teach and advocate insulting the prophet

sallallaahu leave us alone and I won't lie I was I was hurt to hear this because I thought wait a minute you know if you want to spread something about me spread my actual opinion and refute it by all means you know say that what on earth is this this you know this is nonsense this is nonsense but spreading lies and then refuting them to me is such a cheap shot it is unacceptable you know so like Assad regime I was reading a question from here by somebody who

wasn't even a Muslim they asked a question that do Muslims believe that the prophets are preserved in their graves or do their bodies rot away and the insects eat them and things like this this was the the question now I'm actually reading I'm going in the video I'm saying do they rot or read away and then I say okay that's an interesting question a good question let's answer it now he was saying to people that I'm teaching and that this is how I'm teaching it that the bodies of the prophets rot away and insects eat them and things like this and look I'm saying

it and he's quoting that part and then they're objecting I I said but that's that's the question I'm reading the question and they said well you know were you still ready and this is how they're promoting this and so this brother I met he came and he was under the impression that because this is what he's been told as well so he thought that oh this is what I'm teaching people that we should all believe that the prophets wrought and I said well I hear to be learn that you know that is so disappointing to hear the issue on this

was simply it was simply this was the issue that we as Muslims and I said I said in that clip in the beginning I've got a detailed clip please watch it it's about 40 minutes long I mention in the clip that look there there are two opinions there's a devotional approach which is about just all about utmost reverence and respect and then there's a more factual approach now the factual approach the devotional approach is out of love we will not ascribe anything that is somehow c- and from the factual

approach what we're saying is that the prophets were human beings fundamentally that they did have for example prophets felt emotions prophets felt sadness they felt happiness they felt hunger they felt thirst they used to eat food like people they aged I mean so the prophet sallahu Salaam he was 60 years old he was 60 years old he wasn't still a 20 years old person who's now 60 years old and when he was 20 he wasn't - who's 20 he was his age so his skin aged he aged as a person just as the Prophet Noah aged so everybody accepts this up until they

that they needed oxygen they needed food they needed these things the question was when they pass away do they remain like normal humans or do they become super humans now that they no longer will age they no longer will require oxygen no longer require nourishments they did before whilst they weren't also alive now they won't and I said that the factual group the people who are looking at this factually are saying well they still here you know that physically they are human beings and I did say however the majority of Muslims probably approach this more from a devotional perspective and they say no that you know even the bodies are preserved after

they pass away so and I'm pleased if you've got any questions on this watch my clip I actually begin by saying this is a very sensitive subject now to tell people that I'm teaching Muslims to disrespect the Prophet is such a burden this is such a lie and this is exactly the sectarianism that I condemn this is the reason that people are so disenchanted with this theme that the

youth are fed up with the mullahs that they can't put up with them that you see all you're doing is rather than refuting an opinion you're saying that oh I know I've got an opportunity to say this is a gustar key and this guy is a careful that is your concern you your concern is not even the issue it's an opportunity to say I know let's pretend this is what he's saying and let's use that to call him a kafir and evoke the sentiments of people to say he teaches disrespecting the Prophet wallahi i ask people is it and i said

this too i said this to share her sorrow i say this to share her sorrow i say this to all my haters yeah when it came to the age of the wife of the prophet who stood up now she has wrought because his feeling embarrassed is leaning this way for years i've stood up and said that the Prophet did not marry a child and that is disrespectful when these people taught that the Prophet had magic turn onto him and he became clumsy and he became sexually impotent I said that is disrespectful and condemned that teaching when they said that the prophet

Moses ran naked as it says in bihari and people were looking at his testicles to see whether they were swollen or not I said that that is nonsense that how do you insult our prophets when they said that the Prophet took Sofia after the Battle of of he bore and then just took her as his wife without any full aid even though he her husband was just murdered and then had sex with her and which would just be rape and these people are like okay with that I replied to that saying that that is utter

nonsense that the ADA states that she must wait this long and I showed all the narrations I have a clip when these rewired came about Zeynep radi allahu on her that this is how the Prophet lusted after her and did this and did this I made a video with research to show that this is nonsense this is an attack on the honor of the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam so what I am asking when they's the hadith in bihari when they say that o the Prophet tried to touch this woman in Buhari and he said give yourself to me I said that is nonsense you cannot prove this hadith

in fact I don't even know why you picked mihari above the Quran you can't even really prove bihari I took this stance none of these people did and hurts me just as a person I mean look you can do what you want but to say that oh I'm teaching people this is my mission to teach people to dishonor the prophets then why am i going around showing defending the honor of the prophet sallallaahu ellipse and the other prophets on all of these things with the way all these movies and mullahs just say uselessly just tell

people to accept them they say oh don't worry married a child it back then they did things like this what do you mean they did things like this so this so these are the kind of misunderstandings that people are promoting I mean they're propagating this about me and you know oh that what I'm teaching is kufur I'm teaching people I'm a closeted atheist and I just want people to become atheist you know if I wanted to be an atheist you think I would give a damn about what any of you would have to say about me well lucky if I want to be an atheist I would announce it I wouldn't give a damn

yeah I look at me I mean I see here teaching I say in a t-shirt I have a goatee I've done this I have an earring for God's sake you know like does it look like I care about what people's opinions are I've been teaching a lot of what I've taught has been counterculture I've been teaching for a few years now does it look like I get offended by oh you know people's simple opinions on me if I was an atheist oh I'm so scared to announce it the truth is that I believe in Allah I believe in his messenger yes

your twisted interpretations of Islam your folkloric and maybe kind of medievalist kind of veneers that you give Islam I don't accept I don't feel that it's compatible with this day and age and I don't accept it I and that I'm out right about I'm not nothing hidden about that and I don't accept the the way that you present Islam as barbaric and very anti rights and anti humanism and anti all of these things and just tell people to accept it and sectarianism so these are the things out I I brought this up because it was a very interesting conversation I had with this program and it was interesting that

by the end of the conversation the amount of its for me it was very interesting to see that when this person was speaking to me the amount of respect that he then had even though I could tell when he first met me that you know he had all this kind of old this is the stuff I'm teaching and and you know and I'm sure like all this kind of aggression and an upset kind of emotions bottled up within and then by the end of it he was so respectful and saying that I not only understand I agree with a lot of what you're saying I mean this this actually makes a lot of sense so I

wanted a share and I said and and this is something you know coming to this atheism I said what a lot and I've said this before that look if you think yes I I may be different but if you think what I'm preaching is atheism then show me one Muslim who's become an atheist because of me because of me and I can show you so many mullahs who because of them people have become atheist but I can show you many people who doubted Islam who've left Islam and have come

back because of because of what they've heard me say about Islam so these this message I wanted to make this very clear that yes I do have a joke in a laugh yes I do and that is my temperament that is my personality and I will continue to do that I do have opinions that are counterculture and I will continue to do that and I will teach the way I teach but I wanted this message to be very clear that if you are gonna teach about me and teach hate about me then teach hate about things truthfully at least be truthful you know say that look he says

this and this is stupid but don't just say don't teach people that what this guy is doing is he's teaching people secretly that you should all hate the Prophet and you should all do things like this and when a huge part of my mission has simply being to defend the honor of the prophet salallahu alaihe wasalam so I had to say these people because it was really kind of you know I'd to get it off my heart and I wanted you all to hear that and and to pass this message on to people when they say these things that let this part and I will make this a separate clip go far and wide in jail
