the good I mean mmm I don't know the good I would take with a pinch of salt that's what I'd say amen to that people amen to that Oh mothers in the house arrived what's going on people let's deal with some of your questions I wanted one two weeks where I'm kind of really taking the questions that people are throwing because for a few weeks on end people were saying that how come I'm not reading the a lot of the questions I wanted to do that where do you find the

result to hold on to interpretations in a world way you know I don't know what it is but Facebook for some reason doesn't allow me to open up the comments beyond what I see and I see just about two lines form in Hoonah menu for men who know me in your Park sobbing welcoming women who name is Lizabeth he cuts a key above a thought of me a la la brahim our mayor is asking me to to trend what does this mean old jahiliyyah poetry no I'd have to see the whole context but I'm assuming when he

sang min Juana which is a plural it could be referring to women but I don't think that's what he's referring to I think is he referring to weaponry like swords and things like that and and that melts and things like this this is what I'm thinking he's talking about but once again to have to see the whole context right if Muslims start to study our Deen where should they start that's a good question let's begin with that you right let's because a few people have asked me Benham Khan has jumped on saying can you please explain the 73 virgins

nothing like a question like that to completely distract us mentally now everybody is just picturing 73 I don't know how we picture 73 by the way but we're just picturing virgins and and and an oasis and Vinum there to distract our distract our train of thought right from the onset is hijacking our train of thought right there so all we've got on our mind right now well I read some ways things that the average man thinks about

about the holy deed every 11 seconds is that now about right oh there is a game 11 seconds I should keep like a counter it's so where what were we talking about Ilyas is saying I honestly don't want any virgins oh that's the Ilyas is all about the experience it's all about how many years

of experience do you have the expertise ah it's all about the finesse huh that's what it's about all right amen to that Ilyas amen to that right so go on then let's tackle this virgins question first because this is now obviously preoccupying the minds of all the men that are on this live stream and any that shall hear this should not be able to sit straight everybody's kind of just fidgeting and ah God

alright so right somebody said are you going to respond to the latest video by Gangu Teli well I'm not sure he did a latest video but I'll come to that Abu layth are you married how many a times alright somebody trying to track me down and just and get the I like my like I like my wine alright let's get on to this virgin question people so many people all worked up right first of all there is no mention of 73 this 72 actually I'd heard

72 to be fair but maybe 73 people say there is no such mention of this number anyway to start off with let's just get that out there this number I don't know I think it comes in some fabricated or extremely weak hadith maybe and for some reason people have just circulated it and circulated in it's become one of those like an old wives tale like that it's just become so that everybody says

73 or 72 and 73 is the sex not to be mixed with sex which is what this topic is about this topic is not about this the sex which is to do is hatred hatred hatred hatred this is to do with love hate love hate love so the question is this the 72 or 73 whatever is this number is inauthentic let's just put that out there there's no such thing

people about this 72 73 however there is mention so that's the bad news people right what about the good news musty can I be your second oh can I be your second yeah scandal huh I can't handle the scandal people people can't handle me this is the thing you see this insanity this level of crazy this local that is required to survive

in this world so let's people the pink tea by the way you can't really see the way it's with the camera and I can't if I tilt it that would just be like a moment hey people pink tea spilt all over myself right so now right till the number the bad news I don't know if it's bad news but the fake news people is the 72 the 70 odd virgins this number is fake news let me do one of those Trump poses

that's fake news people right the the other news is there is mention of of of women there is no worry people there is mention of of women and amongst them into what is mentioned is virgins in the Quran as in it gives the up car and it gives this kind of understanding of modesty and stuff like this this is intimated in certain verses of the Quran so that is this so there is a

and there are certain rewired once again not so sorry but that speak about sex in paradise and will they be sex it will be so what's the word what's that what's the how can we translate the the Arabic word that they say that they ask in this but this hadith isn't so Sahib but it says that another or national fusion will we be having sex in paradise and he says diamond diamond like oh yeah like like with great passion and force and rigor and that's the the kind of

connotations of of this hadith which is not that sahi but quoted once again in many literature and texts and and the imagination is like now going but people so these things are mentioned but at this stage right most of men now are not listening to anything else I'm saying they just uh they just kind of like and they just what what are the channels are on at this time that's enough of mafia belief what are the

channels are on let me have a bit of me time but right people so that's enough right that's enough that's enough of all this but I've said before I do think that look in all honesty I feel this is my understanding that so this is now that now now is the time to come back down right so I kind of feel that all this imagery and stuff that in the Quran and about this about the afterlife is really in my understanding kind of

symbolic and it's it was there to create a sense of allure for especially for the for the first recipients of the Quran and by extension other people but it focused on those it was revealed amongst first and foremost so so that was the kind of Arabian Peninsula and the understanding although certain aspects resonate throughout humanity like I suppose the sexual part everybody can relate to but the other part we might not be able to relate to like so rivers of milk for example doesn't really mean

anything for many people today I mean if there was if I said this was a river of milk you're not gonna go mad and jumping in a river some people may but I think or if I said this is a river of honey or of alcohol even I mean baby some people may but on what I'm trying to say oh the concept of the concept of villainville illa that they will be shade you see like if you live in a I don't know let's take let's say you lived in Alaska somewhere very cold

presumably I don't know presumably Alaska's cold or Greenland or let's say you lived somewhere quite cold in the northern hemisphere telling you that there's going to be shade in paradise may not really be a what what you although you can understand the concept but it may not be something that you naturally it resonates with you because you you want heat so but if you lived in a desert now a cool breeze or shade is is very soothing so so I think this is

the the the the direct and primary object objective of these of this kind of imagery an illustrative description of paradise in the Quran so am i understanding these things are symbolic that the well we can't comprehend what that is even it's just totally incomprehensible and therefore there's a certain symbolism has been given about pleasure and stuff like this and that's in my understanding ok so somebody's

asking the silver bracelet my silver bracelets right over there on my desk right so now that's that's my understanding some people can take it literally they're more than welcome to do so but I mean I feel it's more and there's a distinction between these different kinds of metaphor symbolism is a kind of metaphor and I explained this in last week's show that you will get certain very low-level metaphors which are just direct substitutes and symbolism is more about abstract ideas so for example certain thing

representing the concept of freedom now the concept of freedom can't really be given a just a simple met it can be given symbolism maybe people see certain things like I don't know like let's say like you get sometimes a picturesque kind of recording over of of a horse running a white horse or a white dove and these things are sometimes symbolic of freedom now things like that so you get a form of symbolism which is things or imagery that is

giving that implies greater more complicated and abstract ideas right so that's a that's in my understanding and the same thing with hell and I've said this in last week's show as well and before and it's interesting actually look because when we because when you dig deeper it's interesting because words like for example for those coming from the Greek kind of paradise and coming from you know for ADIZ is the

plural of Pharaohs and paradise but also things like Jahannam see Jahannam is an interesting word if you I don't know if anybody's actually researched Jahannam I know we normally want nothing to do with Jahannam my god I ain't gonna research you just in case you know I I appear to be too fond of you and but no on a serious note what Jahannam is interesting

etymologically okay etymologically speaking the term because Jahannam is not is an Aruba sized word the word in essence was not an arabic word okay now it comes from where you have the Greek and the Hebrew for e which is again now getting numb or Gehenna okay now Gehenna or in um as you find in the New Testament

in the Bible is mentioned and Jesus does mention Gehenna okay now it's interesting because it refers gear here is referring to the valley of the Hingham people who were from the kind of Israelites and part of that kind of God strayed and fallen into superstition and this was I believe it was south to Jerusalem I believe it was part of the the kind of Judah Kingdom but it was south to Jerusalem I believe and there was a valley in half with these people

the Hinnom people who were part of the Israelites greater you know the whole Israelite canna Kingdom they would had fallen victims too deep and evil superstitions and part of which they would sacrifice their children so they would they would actually kill their children as an offering to this God that they were trying to please and it wasn't Yahweh he wasn't God as in God but they part of their practices they had deviated they started to worship another god that would favor them now this God they they would - as a

sacrifice they would burn the Youngs or some of the young alive so they would burn them in the children in this valley of the Hinnom people now this became known so this was this dark historic evil a kind of really tragic past - this place Ganim and then there's other traditions that state that what happened after that is that this fire would they would keep this fire alight and then people would use after these people had kind of dissipated because of the the the tragic past that this place

had nobody really wanted to inhabit the Hinnom get Hinnom place the way they had this fire and his burning in this tract so people would chuck the attraction we'll bring caucuses and other kind of traditions mentioned things like this although that's mean disputed whether people did used to burn their caucuses there and dead animals and and trash and garbage and this firewood that's what this place was used for this he had stench it was filthy he was disease-ridden almost it was a horrible place to be in and so what happens is

Jesus in the New Testament says that people that commit certain atrocities that God has preserved for them a place in Ghana or Gangnam this despicable dis this this kind of almost disease-ridden allotment that is consumed by fire and filth and and person all this kind of trash and garbage and so this place Jesus gives a a kind of he makes

reference a very graphic illustrative kind of description in saying that those who have those who have transgressed atrociously against the Lord against the father that there will be a place for them in Gehenna or genome that this fire of Jahannam now it's interesting that this then is brought up in the Islamic in our tradition so but that's the the place I mean so prior to the Israelites and the Hinnom people there was no this is what

Jahannam in Gangnam is referring to so it's interesting that even the term in itself is arguably met I mean it's definitely metaphoric or symbolic of a greater kind of like misery and a horrible place that's what it's kind of denoting so I hope that gives some I want to share that because I find that I'm just amazing just mind going in many ways to to think about that right so what's going on people what are the right I'd been asked

a question so that's I've been asked a question on what do I recommend for people wanting to study wanting to learn what's my advice for that for them so what I would say is that look I think first of all it is amazing and that this anybody wanting to study the science of the sciences of Islam the man the myth from my daughter

haha Leila dad the legend right so the the thing is that I would I would definitely I would encourage anybody and everybody that has an interest to study the Islamic Sciences they are really amazing once you get into them and it's amazing if you can relate that to to our current context I want to just spend a

few minutes explaining this right first of all I just want to touch up on the importance of this I'll mention what as a strategy what you can do and then also the key objectives so the importance of these people is that it really is the only way to truly be able to reconnect to our legacy to this tradition to this beam of Alice LOM and to understand it in our day and age because I feel that we are in a time where really it's the

clergy have kind of in many ways failed us okay we are failed by the the kind of institutions and I don't think institutionalized religion is going to rescue us we need to to kind of dive into this amazing majestic tradition of ours and really go to the core and we need to at the call we will find the heartbeat and the pulse of this theme in the Quran in

the authentic sana in this tradition that teaches us that allows us to reconnect in a natural way in the way of the fitrah okay which is the natural order of things not a not a kind of organized or institutionalized version of religion that is actually quite cataclysmic in my understanding right so okay so that's the important what what do I advise people I advise people first of all look listen when you need to learn Arabic okay Arabic is key for

studying Islam because the Quran is in Arabic the son that is in Arabic the tradition this whole tradition is really in Arabic and also people buried away in in the cobwebs of censorship at the heart of our tradition lie many gems which are in Arabic but we have to unearth them and people are not gonna do it for us okay right people are not

going to really allow us to like people who have too much at stake even institutional the institutionalized clergy has too much at stake to encourage people to unearth sensitive material within Islam because he you see because it's it's quite simple really it's all about power positions you will not want to do something that compromises the very position and the power structure that you are a part of that doesn't

just that's logic people okay so so Arabic is essential and it is not difficult so the good so the good news is that it's not difficult to learn it is an amazing and beautiful language honestly it's something that you will be so glad that you learnt it will reconnect you with this theme it will it there's almost 30 Arabic speaking countries in the world people I mean just look at that you know if not anything just look at it as a fun enterprise in which you can tourism you

can travel you can meet new people you can like just look at how many your life will change people I mean this when I say that your life will change it will it will give you the it will enhance your IQ I ice I do passionately believe that that learning a language enhances your cognitive and perceptive faculties I mean these psychological research to support that the sapir-whorf ian hypothesis and the research they've done demonstrated how your the language you speak impacts your perception of the world there's been a lot of research

done on that do you look at things from what angle and and the part is and that's an interesting study if you want to take some time out and look at that they looked at participants that were spoke one language and bilingual and and they took I believe it was Chinese and American participants English speaking and they administered tests and when the tests were done in English participants by far enlarge kind of scored in a particular way but when they were administered in Chinese they scored in another way but this could have been a

command to remove the confounding variable of cultural of enculturation that it could be a socialized element of perception what they did is they found a kind of control group with bilingual our participants who could speak English and Chinese and administered the same tests to them but in different at different times in different languages and when they were administered the same test in English they scored like the English speaking but when given in Chinese they scored like the Chinese speaking people which demonstrated and the tests were to do with how you saw universals and

particulars and what fields odd out in this particular place and if you had to group four of these six objects together which four would you group and why and so your perception of the world was being impacted by the language that you speak and this is amazing I'm not sure I feel it taps into what people like Vidkun Stein had said you know almost 100 years ago that that he felt that we thought was in language that we thought in language that's interesting I'm not exactly I'm not a hundred percent sure

that we do think in language although I think language is definitely an integral part of thought so I think the deeper your language is developed the more intricate your thought processes can become I definitely feel these there is a connection right so okay so that's language people you're gonna love it all I'm saying is you're gonna love it I would advise what are some practical steps okay not advised you can a book I've always recommended this doctor sorties Quranic Arabic doctor sortie an amazing individual was a book with its I I love the book

okay the book is designed that it it kind of has a graded process by which you will gradually start to with each exercise or with each unit understanding comprehend so much of the Quran and that increasingly develops as you move through the book so I think that's an amazing book of his I recommend it to everybody it's one of the first books I studied and I taught it for many years on end afterwards I taught it in schools I taught in colleges when I taught I taught it privately but in addition to that there are there is other I mean there there is other

material out there I've heard many great things about stars nominally Hans Boehner course I mean main role on that people there's a distant learning course he's tried and tested many people have done it there's many apps you can download on your phone and just get through them in fact I'm I'm going through one in Spanish it's actually very I'm enjoying it let me just see what the app is called this one's called busu a strange name but bu s W so busu not as in a W but as

in you you double you so but I mean I believe they've got an option to learn Arabic they but there's so many things you can watch TV in Arabic you can watch movies in a week you can watch TV series just get on the six months you will be good a year you're rockin that's what I'm talking about so that's the move to California are raha yeah my Spanish would shoot through the roof if I I'm thinking I need to at some point take

some time and explore Latin America just go but then I think I'm thinking I've watched too many of these series with this there's so many all you think is like cartels and you're gonna be tortured somewhere taking out your fingernails and you're like I do quite order a manicure but oh you're gonna cut that you know I could do with that finger to be honest with you believe me that finger as comes quite useful so I

mean but i but yeah but so this what I was saying is the Arabic is key alongside the Arabic people you can study Fick there's a lot of courses out there Fitness your understanding of this theme okay you can you could start off at a very elementary level is going to teach you the five pillars of Islam it will expand to a more to an a beginner intermediate level it will go into other transactions it will go into intermediate level they will mention the different schools of thought the different opinions now a lot

of these things admittedly some of the things may be archaic and therefore irrelevant and immaterial but it still gives you a connection the element of worship is definitely something that you will get there's many books now in English in firstly as many courses going on this for popular methods I say for generously I'm letting the humble easing should we give that finger for the humble ease the small fingers like so well you've got look so I mean the methods are there you've got the four kind of major

schools beginning with the dawn and the legendary school of Medina people in my Malick's method which really need i say more it really just stops there that's but nevertheless will include the others too to let them feel well a feel better so you got the hanafi madhhab you got the chef ie and the ham belly and you can basically just find some text you can find some teachers there's a lot of stuff online there's you know this this course is going on for if you want to learn the school of Medina I've got some lectures on YouTube called the school of

Medina in the 21st century that's a good lecture to listen to it gives the background the backdrop to Imam Malik his what his method is built on and why it's relevant for the 21st century there's I've got how to pray on youtube a video showing demonstrating the Salah in that's according to school of MIDI and that will cover the basics I've got a very basic course just covering some pillars of Islam called the ash pile ash Maurya this is in the Maliki method and you don't need to listen to mine you can just go get hold of the ash mal yeah many people have done commentaries on it some people use another parallel called

the Akbari which is more often in like northwest africa ash Maurya is more so in Northeast Africa they tend to use and then after that there's a this other you can move up the the scale there's some people study a book I've taught these foundations of Islam that's the pillars of Islam by car the yard who was the legendary Maliki scholar from Muslim Spain I have that in 20 lectures on YouTube you can order your lectures you can listen to that but other people people might teach something else at this stage they might teach something

like the title king of party of the Wahhabi but daddy I am thinking in sha Allah to resume teaching fit and I will probably be teaching the Sultan so that's that people but people have already taught that out there some people move on to the reseller hypno bees ate al-qaeda whiny he was known as young Malik this is in Maliki fake I'm giving the kind of a kind of like a syllabus if you like people study this is really an intermedia and depending on the commentaries can be touching into advanced as well so people cover these and then there's in the Maliki fit and

some people might study a book called a cobble Masonic which is biter deed you can check out by the way I shall Bewley's website I shabbily she's part of the the Maliki community within the UK who's translated and contributed significantly to Maliki works and the legacy in the English language after her beauty and her husband and and that whole community really in Norwich they they they have done a lot but on her website she has a lot of works translated so she has the reseller and the commentary in English so you could

you could see these so some people do teach at this stage like I said as well the a cockerel masala which is by deed then you go on to advanced level at this level people often teach motorcycle eel that's a although it's a brief text but it's really kind of enigmatic almost quite it's like written encoder almost some people teach the German on my heart of evil hardship which is also called the most assorted Ferrari this is within the maliki method and these come with commentaries and if it's the German of Mahad then Halil himself as a commentary

on that Norma Stahl dear but people that are teaching the most assertive Halil there's so many commentaries that that you can go through hot dog is a very popular one loved by so many people known as the book is termed moral jelly so this is within the Maliki kind of but these are people you don't need to do all of that kind of straightaway this is just a structure for life you're just kind of moving along okay you're just kind of studying you're getting the basics out the way you're moving on to intermediate discourse you're learning there's in the other methods they have similar kind of their own work so you'll

have in the Hanafi method they will begin with books like noodley though they will probably I mean I'm just rushing through it they that's an elementary level they will probably move on to Kaduri and then advanced text like Hetalia as an example of part McInerney and and then they have very detailed Futaba texts like other methods as well okay that's right so now and so the reason I'm mentioning these things is just to kind of give you an example but right now you can just begin on the on

the foundational level if it's Maliki you can look for anything very simple from those I gave a few if it's Schaffer ie sorry if it's Hanafy you could look for nor laid off a shelf at a maybe mattina be sugar or something you can look for something very basic and go through them there's a lot of teachers this course is by seekers hub I believe that are free they're available on but there's a lot out they just start reconnecting start reconnecting and the amazing thing about the internet people is that you can just start learning and you can stop constructing knowledge okay and yes it is true that these books

severely need updating they need to be Reese inked with our day and age but if you get the basics out the way you kind of start to see okay how were those people thinking and then we can start to work well well the worship part it's gonna be very similar anyway on Moodle and stuff some parts won't but many parts will still be similar so that's fine you can look into a soul which is the underlying legal theory these are just this is just some advice on I'm just sharing with people that we that may want to reconnect and something that look I would advise you people I would

advise you is that start learning about people right start learning about people because once you start to read about people in the past it starts to come to life for you who was this scholar who were his teachers Oh what was an interesting incident what was Oh what were they caught up in oh what was this controversy here that happened here Oh what was this you know just read up different people you it's amazing how we as humans can construct knowledge we can pick obviously it's amazing sometimes I get distracted people and I'll be I'll

be kind of sitting there and I'll be oh what's that you know curiosity I've got like I've got like a money curious mind sometimes if I allow it and what will happen is I will be doing something and I think what's that and before I know it I'm researching this word and this concept and then I'm like oh wait a minute what's that and then I've got into this over who did this and also who also gujrat who challenged these Oh mmm what's that about Oh what's this video what's that four

hours later people then six hours later like an expert it's like now I just know so much about something so useless like I just don't know what it's like I feel I need to share that knowledge now I'll probably just know something like oh really something really odd but just not so much about it now and you're kind of thinking well hmm I just don't know what

to do with this knowledge now so so is that how is that how how movies began I mean it was that the Oh mmm right so this is so this is the kind of things that that I get up to in my spare time researching all this stuff but what I meant is it's an amazing way to construct knowledge and we really and I want to say something here people had asked me as well about the motherís

system and about the I want to extend this integer the general schooling system as a whole people we our schooling system today has failed and it is failing us okay and I mean by that this broader the secular the general system of education we have today is not going to take us through on being honest with this because what I'm trying to say is the system that got us here is not going to be enough to get us there where

we need to go let me explain myself and the madrasah system is definitely a part of this it's a weaker part in fact of this whole secular of educate of the educational system as a whole you see our educational system is constructed its premise on the idea of offloading a huge amount of information right to the the students now you've got to understand why the the kind of theory behind this okay

the theory behind this is this educational system is over a century old now when you go back to let's say we're looking a hundred years ago right or early 1900s information was so scarce you couldn't find information like you do today in fact let let lets just think about these people I want you to think about something bear with me I think of this let's go back a hundred two hundred

years right if you today you're a person who is reading let's say let's say who reads the newspapers whether it's online or the actual papers let's say you are somebody that does that so you read newspapers and you are reasonably active on social media so you read things Facebook you know you see all these adverts and things and news and so you're somebody who does this let's say let's go with that hypothesis you will if you read newspapers today or you go through that kind of information in a

newspaper on a daily basis and more on social media you will have perhaps potentially being through more information in a week yeah then somebody one to two hundred years ago that would go through in their entire lifetime like as in being exposed to exposed to I mean right so just think about that that you would be exposed to more information if you're going through like a News poll newspaper not just a pathetic newspaper

an actual newspaper a day for a week or that equivalent online if you're reading certain subscriptions and you're reading certain things and going through social media and seeing this incident and that news and BBC and CNN and all these and YouTube's suggestions you will have been exposed to more potentially more information than somebody let's say one or two centuries ago throughout their entire lives now that is something Wow now imagine living in their age information was unavailable so what

schools did was they they they were built on this notion of let's just flood as much information as we can into these young people because books were not available and they were censorship even public speaking in many parts of the world was prohibited now so and people where else would they get this information from so they would get it from school so they go to school and they've been told this this this this

this is literature this is this this because that's the only place they could get it I mean outside they could only probably access religious information now you see now we live in 2080 now let's fast-forward we live in a totally different world people information there is an overload we are drowning in information we are in the information age there is too much information

so flooding kids with information at school is useless because a child or a young person or any person has more access to information here then any human being could possess in front of him so you can bring me the most intelligent person and I have access to more information in the palm of and then a dozen of those people put together I mean they may have expertise

and skills but I can outdo them with information what we need people we need the shift to change from information deliverance to critical thinking we need the focus to be on critical thought how do we teach children or young people to reason to refine we are in an age people we are in an age of fake news there is so much information that is fake this

has been unprecedented human beings have I mean human beings have been exposed to propaganda but there has never been this much fake information if readily available ever how do you filter through how do you sift through fake legit how do you come to conclusions how do we evaluate how do i synthesize between different research or ideas and bring them together how do i co-create these new a new perspective

so this is what we need and this is a great need for education as a whole then I think secular education is massively failing on this and I'm gonna be honest I think this is I think education that is in schools and institutions in all honesty is unfortunately a waste of time I don't think it really provides people it doesn't provide them you know true I mean it's it's but I understand the fact it's better than not having but it's so much time is invested and money that it doesn't pay off it's not a fair

trade-off so it doesn't provide them the jobs that they that they deserve it leaves them with just an undue debt and I'm like I believe in oppressive it leaves them just really having a master certain amount of information and knowing how to write let's say essays and things like this week in real life isn't what life is about I mean unless you're gonna become an academic and write journals you're not gonna really be writing essays and doing these things throughout your lives so this is just quite irrelevant I mean I understand this importance to this but what I'm

trying to say is holistically doesn't it's not a fair trade-off I'm not against I'm not anti essayists or anti but what I'm trying to say is this isn't the trade-off ain't worth it whereas if the information is reduced but our skills to extrapolate are increased our critical the resources are refined and retuned then we're on to something people that is the way forward so now now that I've said that the

Islamic so that's the secular system is struggling okay so the secular system is in a drought mode people drought okay because and that's people with some of the greatest thinkers but they really need to start thinking right we need to change this damn educational system right because it's failing so the the secular free thinking societies that are not bound by certain restrictions necessarily are in drought that

education system I mean the motherís and the religious educational system is in famine mode there it's not in a drought mode this is centuries behind that this is still operating at the maybe the Middle Ages the medieval times this is still operating on that same thing a same approach sorry lets us flood them with loads of information in a particular book that is irrelevant to life

altogether worse still is no because this is easy is asking is that being sarcastic no it's not because you see in the madrasah system they're teaching all these books ok in the secular system they're giving an overload of information which is highly irrelevant and information is not the need anymore so they need to start assessing re-evaluating the needs of our society the needs are the way to re-tune the way we think and critical thinking but these institutions are not averse to critical thinking they do promote critical

thinking but they don't it's not the primary focus these institutions are averse or ante critical thought so they actually condemn these are what we call these are confessional modes of teaching this is dogmatism right so in general so now now what they do even if they teach you critical thinking they teach it dogmatically and confessional e so confessional teaching is when you teach like the seminaries and churches teach people they teach people but it's they

teach them just dogma dogmatically so for example imagine I'm now to teach you a imagine I'm to teach you a debate so let's say I say to you look people Allah says in the Quran you know if I come to me let Salah Fox Allah would you have come my idea criminal mafia that wants also come that now let's say here let's take this verse as an example yeah so so just to just to show you what I mean by

teaching by by by this via by so here you have different scholars have taken a look at this verse that that from sorrow pero se come ok now this verse wipe over you your heads okay folks I hope you see come now here there is a word be the wipe over with or what does this be mean it's it's a transitive kind of particle but what is it doing so wipe over so here some people have said like the Schaffer a

meth lab so I'm teaching you critical thought this is how it's true in a madrasah so they will say look let's say the maliki said no you need to wipe over all your head okay because that's what because Allah says in another verse that folks are will be would you become what idea Kamil Elmer avec wants to do with the Imam and this and then you wipe the whole face so here you wipe the whole head now the chef here will say well be here means a portion of so as long as you wipe any part of your head you're here so that could what's the least number of hair to make it plural is three generally in the Arabic language

because they have dual as well so three is the least number of plural literally speaking so as long as you wipe three here then your muscles been done the Hanafi have said well now as long as you wipe a significant portion why don't we take that to mean like a this whole portion about that with which they call the Nasia which may cover between a third to a quarter of your head so that's fine as long as you've done that so this is diverse thought so in the mothers that they will teach you this diverse the world so they will say the Maliki said these surface of this the Hanafi said this learned that now you can they will then tell you okay where

hanafis this is how we do it now you can question that why did they say this they they'll say well Maliki said this because of the TM Monday said this because of these days but you're not allowed to take this further in anyway so for example let's say you said ah but chef I think I think that this bar that is used like this and imagine you came out with a different view let's just say like you said I believe that this really ought to cover two thirds of the head this is my understanding because looking at all of

these I'm just giving an example you will be either marked if the teachers in a good mood or you'd be reprimanded now who do you think you are like how dare you contribute to this discourse you are not here to contribute to this discourse you are here to do memorize what these people have said you can ask why they said it that's fine but what you can't do I mean you can ask to clarify and to learn better why they've said it but what you can't do is

introduce a new way of looking things that is categorically Haram in most I mean what they won't you actually they might even use the word Haram but others won't but it's forbidden so mattresses are massively averse to free thinking the reason and critical thought the reason they like that is because one they massively insecure but two religious institutions tend to do that because they don't because in order to keep the authority they feel that people can't be too critical because if you start to question things you'll

eventually question them but in all honesty you wouldn't really the institution but they have a fear that it would and hence there's such a tradition for a thousand years of you know just dogmatism dogmatism dogmatism so yeah so this is we really need to be thinking so out of the box honestly the world today just think about we we've got two people we we've got two I answered in last week's show about is this somebody asked me do you think we're living in a simulation and I said that I feel it's very plausible now

we are living in a simulation I feel that that is plausible that I would tell me give it a slightly a subtitle that the mind of God that is it really simply are we simply in existence in the mind of God is that what reality is in a very sophisticated and complex way that we can't fight them just as if you look into a a computer game I mean the way these games are becoming more and more complex and 3d and very virtual and realistic and the characters are doing all these things and they're moving

around and yet I could have a tiny chip the size of I don't know I could have a tiny chip something like this size yeah and this is where the game is this is where everybody is you see everybody is on on that and you think well where are they but that's where they hide and they could be a 3d and they could now imagine these characters somehow gained consciousness just imagine and they gained consciousness for a moment roll

with it now they would assume that everything they're doing is of their choice but little do they know that they were actually being controlled but I'm just saying it's if they became conscious they would think that everything they're doing is them I mean these are just fascinating so but I think that look if I'm not saying what this is a computer game but I'm saying you know in a complicated way it could be in a very complicated way it could be I don't see that in any way anti-islamic

I think if anything it actually answers a lot of Islamic questions in terms of like predestination in terms of evil and suffering in terms of all of these things seem to give a they seem to become a lot more explicable in that simulation dynamic but if we only let's say reality is a simulation or whether realism how do we learn about reality religion like the folk of religious folk have are not interested in this like they just lie well hmm miss like basically if you

speak to dogmatists they view is there's nothing new there's nothing to learn about this this this cosmos there's nothing and anything we do learn is just simply information like that's a deep sense of arrogance that we think that we know it all why and this is why atheists really hate on people of of Dogma like that who hail from religions because they have this view that oh well there's nothing huh I don't want to know that there's nothing to learn about this cosmos or about reality or about matter

and if we if we do discover something it's like oh this is not the attitude of the early Muslims the early Muslims if you look at the great scientists the physicians that the philosophers that the Muslim on my heart they were very curious they weren't about oh well we know we all came from God so there's no point learning about it but that was not their attitude like look people check this out like it takes a certain amount

of what because what I'm trying to say is it's through critical thought that we're going to refine our thinking process and discover stuff we don't know I just think about that I mean people it took Einstein Einstein here's a person who was a nobody and he reconciled what people for hundreds of years couldn't understand that why why okay before Newton people were still struggling with the element of gravity as a concept but Newton kind of comes up with his you know harmonizing that gravity's out

there and in here and harmonizing between the heavens and the earth but even Newton says look I I've explained gravity but I don't know why is gravity I don't know why it's the I explained these kind of laws of motion and things like but along comes I earn Stein and you know he he's not even a part of that discourse and then he discovers what what goes on to be called the law of general relativity and space-time that actually there's like a fabric that space-time is an actual fabric and it's within this fabric of space that mass

creates a kind of dent which around the the other body is kind of revolving this is why you have that gravitational kind of pull and revolution and this nature now he changes everything and speaking of the speed of light and speaking of relativity and now it's like people thought of these things and then they they had these shifts it's today people are thinking like let me tell you something today there's this whole understanding of how many degrees of reality can we get into and people

generally say in that there's 11 degrees of reality that they've kind of got into that work mathematically and I think if they try beyond that he starts to collapse and goes into mayhem now what is that even talking about I just think about that because you see what they're trying to do is unify all these different forces because you had Einstein come up with this explanation of what he did with with gravity and then you had people like Theodor Kaluza and other other people who who thought well maybe I can do the same thing with

electromagnetism and they they come up with a theory that unifies these things and then there's other forces the nuclear force and the strong force the weak force and people in physics are trying to unify these and now we've got quantum mechanics because we've got this world in the quantum world and is there a way of unifying these now the unfortunate thing is that Muslims are not a part of this discourse at all when by and large because I mean by that from a religious we almost think like mmm this is irrelevant but why is it relevant

because if anything if we are going to discover reality it's going to be through this this is what reality is about not just let me just share with you this this thing on the dimension just think about this for example they see people thought what if these dimensions are curled up within like so tiny that we can't actually see we can't actually I mean we could it's so difficult to find them but they're right there in front of us now just think

about this now because this had me mind gone when I was trying to fathom this the war on earth is that on about how do you get other dimensions how do they even get get it like Wow and how do we think about that so let me let me take you on a mental trip people imagine we are 2d objects yeah so we're 2d objects so here we are this but this is really bright so I don't know if that's showing up very well but if that's not Hitler people that's not

you that's a bad example to tea right so let's say here's a book right so imagine we are 2d objects that's us we are like this this little text that's all we are right now imagine that's our world like all we can see is up-down left-right like that I mean just that's it really just these we can move about like that that's our world in how we can see it now imagine somebody put a finger like I put my

finger over there now you see from the perspective of these 2d characters these people they're these letters imagine these letters are all people from their perspective what do you think they will see I'll tell you what they'll see they'll see a circle that circle is my fingertip being kind of pressed against they will just see that circle so this whole thing the hand and all of that they will not be able to see they will only see that circle moving around as I move my finger

because that's the only way they can see yeah I mean sorry I'm saying circle but you understand what I mean like they'll just see that the fingertip the thing actual pressing there's the flat shape moving around because from the perspective that's the world as it is it's like in our perspective we can only see the world in 3d if we if there are things entire things connected to these forces that are outside of our dimension

we will not be able to see them do you understand now but what we can do is through things like the sciences of physics and mathematics and we can try to discover if these forces do exist and one example is like dark matter dark energy these things exist dark matrix it what is it what if it is something hovering above like another like what I'm trying to say is we won't be able to fathom it because it's not part of this dimension I mean sorry not fathom we will be able to see it because it's not part of this dimension

I'm sorry to kind of I know this may sound a bit wacko me saying all these things but what my purpose for saying this stuff is that we need to start rekindling that curiosity for discovery to learn to to once again become curious with nature we need to stop like like if we don't know something like look like I've said this stuff is this is very complicated stuff you can go onto YouTube you can watch very simplified videos but we we need to start rekindling this

this flame within the younger generation and within Muslims especially because we are so like it's we are cognitively I'm from a legacy perspective we are handicapped I don't mean to kind of put it like across but we are like on the on the global scale you know it's like people say you know well how many universities do does the entire Muslim world have compared to and how many Nobel Prizes have they won and how many you know like what's the contribution being in the last hundred and fifty

years whereas our contribution was huge as a Muslim Ummah because we were incredibly curious so right so that's I think that some words I think I don't know if I got carried away with some of those examples but I find this stuff so deeply fascinating and and I find it a what I find the kind of attitude belligerent and arrogant when I come of this look we know it all like oh like what is they to know about real oh oh that's just and we'll just give in an Islamic term Oh

quantum oh it's just the world of the jinn huh that's not how this works me you gotta kind of that's what I'm talking about right so I hope that made some sense people what are some questions let's take some questions man let's take some questions people as our lips would say baccarat hard you know make your calc which guichen are some J Kodaka Rika we it say that what nonsense am I just blabbering on in my insanity

God willing that you know nobody's understood a word of what I've said right so what's going on people what questions Lee people must have submitted some questions let me take some from the the pre submitted questions people on momento momento I almost right mother mother yes mother

right okay okay mmm not good no just as I but just doesn't Oh God the one thing that technology teaches us as well is boy patience we need patience come on come on right Here I am huh no where did it go yes check on this page people sorry I'm

just trying to bring up some of the questions so right there is okay some questions let me finally why do movies move back and forth when reading the Quran are they not imitating the Jews at the Wailing Wall so what ISA Ali is asking is when people are learning a mother of something or like this [Music] and it is very it has a I mean it's spot on what the Jewish people do at the Wailing Wall well though I don't think

they are imitating the Jewish people I think many of them may not even know that the Jewish people do this but I find this a very defined it quite disturbing it's very kind of like a hypnotic trance that they get into to show that they're learning and it's really weird because you see when I did hate people when I memorize the Quran so I was I did that in Islamabad in Pakistan many years ago probably about 18 years ago now so Wow 18 years ago people right so now at that

time you see in the class if you were not moving now I never used to do that because I used to find it very irritating but if you were not moving the teacher would assume that you're not reading so you would get a stay get a smack on your back did I complete my half yes I did I completed my favs on hamdulillah so you'd get a kind of either a slap at the back of your head or a stick to kind of save read so the way they knew you were reading is by you kind of humming and going like this so

it's weird because it becomes you know so it's it's a kind of reinforced behavior because it's it's crazy I mean I don't I think it's if anything it's irritating it's preventative from them I think they could concentrate a lot better if they weren't moving but I understand it must induce a kind of almost a psychoactive effect a kind of hypnotic trance at some level of kind of just this rocking and and moving at

certain levels some people used to do it with a proper rhythm there was one guy who do like honestly I kid you not you'd go he would kind of go out an angle like this right so are you a student of chef after Osaka Halabi I did meet chef Abdul Razak on Halabi and I I just read very little to him if that can be counted as a student

hamdulillah but I don't think I was in a personal student in that sense so but yes of course I mean I did meet him and I did manage to write so next question what are the similarities between Imam Malik and Imams RA in mother nature has asked this question what a kunia abu nasr a sir so Riku Nia isn't it Anisa Ibrahim

armored book of alert right back at you man right back at you absolute love likewise love you for the sake of Allah - right so I've owned a sir what are the similarities Imam Malik an imam or Zahra both were known as they were Imams in you know in hadith and Sunnah and but Imam Jose he he was based in sham what is probably modern-day Lebanon and Syria and pot those know that part of the

world but he his method kind of died out I suppose shortly after him he had some students but they didn't proliferate the way the other methods did he was an amazing Imam Imam also I think a bit Stern on some things some things amazing of course it said that he debated Imam Abu Hanifa and got really angry and upset with Abu Hanifah and stormed off and I don't know how true that is if it is true I think it's it's disturbing of his person uh it's disturbing in the picture it creates of his personality but he by

the way he passed away in a Missouri in his hammam in his kind of sauna so they used to have these Sooners he's kind of heated a bit like these Turkish baths that you have today so he was in there and they used to heat it up and he would produce this kind of smoke kind of like I suppose maybe some element of a small but this intense steam and and so what happened is his wife locked him in women now she did it by accident to

be fair she she didn't realize he was in this so his wife kind of locked him in there and and in doing so she she crushed an entire method she destroyed an entire she brought an entire legal system of thought to its knees and crushed it there and then the power of women Allah ah see what women are capable of if they so Imam Ozai

vichara machaira passed away in that sauna at the hands of his beloved so he's like it's not he's like this is not quite the intense steamy relationship I hoped for let's uh let's move on no he's an amazing person may Allah have mercy on him and bless us all

to be learn it like that but just to make sure we have like an a lock button on the inside of our steam rooms and saunas as well amen amen all right so let's move on next question what is the limit for there is no impulsion you probably meant compulsion in religion there is no compulsion in religion okay surah normal the Beast that will talk I've got a whole video robbery fraud

Ephraim I've got a whole video it's on YouTube where I speak about the beast this description is to do with as it now sure says is to do with the end of time Sarris to do with the afterlife and not to do with this world so okay surah what is the limit there is no there is no compulsion in religion people you cannot force people okay to do things so just to clarify that surah Palach I F 4 um

okay well let e know because you've written in Arabic but it's not connected okay oh well let you let me a Hitler okay right is this speaking about the - those who have not had the menses those women who have not attained so I'm lies explaining what is the ADA and for those women it is three menstrual cycles and those who have not yet had old that's one way of translating it or those who do not or didn't have menstrual cycles

now I've mentioned in my age of Aisha video as well that if you look at difference of a seed if you look at the toughest ear of the 0 over a yawn and other people who highlight that this is to do with those women who do not have menstruation and due to illnesses okay and there are women like that that have not had a cycle on end for years for example that does and I'm not talking about because of the menopause we mean in the right age that all women but they for some reason do not have so Allah says that

they will have a need their period of three months that's what it's referring to it's not referring to - although unfortunately and I say this with a very disappointed and saddened heart that disappointingly and unfortunately many Muslims have used that verse to say that it's talking about minors and it's talking about girls and therefore then then they've couple that with the hadith of the age of are you sure to say that you can marry young girls in Islam which is categorically wrong it is Haram and

it is not only disgusting but it is thrown Islam categorically under the bus and what's so shocking is why with almost a kind of arrogance a belligerent arrogance to them many religious Muslims proudly boast this feature what they feel is a feature of Islam that they say okay we won't do it but yes the Prophet did it and you think well this I couldn't you know if the Shaitaan himself tried to harm Islam he couldn't

have done a better job than these people who proudly boast that the Prophet married a six year old and a 9 year old and this is OK in Islam so this is and I've spoken about this at length before so and I've got a detailed video I've got a few but I've got one on the edge of our show which you can resort to right for work purpose quick question can you pray your own namaz can you pray your own namaz in mosque rather than follow the imam

the actual prayer time start for example can you go in and pray and leave I'm not sure I fully understand that question is fun from what I've understood is you're asking that if you were in a hurry you've gone into a mosque the Gemara hasn't happened can you just do your prayer and go the answer is yes of course you can can you please touch on the issue of praying at work it can be difficult for us living in the West what are the minimum conditions of prayer praying with shoes do you need a prayer mat can you combine you need one of those copies you need to have like a center parting

hairstyle you need to put all this oil on your hair mean to stand there you need to wear that I thought you know that you know when you were kids they used to have this cutter this kind of read this this toxic radioactive smell on there that used to be probably like the cheapest up there people used to bring back from Saudi and if you worry you could just never wash it off it's like you know people would be like generously can I give you some and you put it on and it's like oh my god now I just think of this thing and I can't

take it off and then they like you can run but you can't hide right so basically now the good news these people none of that is required thank god that's so you don't need to decimate your work environment every day look right there you've got more here can you pray in the bathroom if you cover the toilet you cover the toilet where otherwise if you don't cover it

would your head it's okay I'm just doing so dude what's that was that the place with but it's okay guys I covered it you've knocked yourself out now because you've kind of got the lid on there you've hit your head on it a casualty in the break-in and if they go we had this strange hat on is it I need this really strange smell this it knocked out well okay let's read on so

we can cover all the the parts of this equation obviously our brother Tootie hood is having a difficult time at work right what about the minimum requirements will tissue and no lotta those of you don't know our Lata is lota is that kind of like I don't know that kind of pot or kettle like instrument that is used for water to kind of clean your royal behind once you've gone to the toilet that you see in a lot of these toilets Muslim toilets you see it

oh they may have the bday oh the toilet shower right so the point is what if you don't have a lotta and you just have to minimum prayer requirements when you are rushed for time there's quite a lot going on to T this in your bathroom at work there's a hell of a lot going on there this like I rushed for time there's no water there's no space there's no right so right so what can we do look okay let's get this clear people you can combine prays to facilitate life

or work and things like that so the prays you can combine of the horan Asad and multi Benicia so so let me just do that kind of like alien parting there these to the Horan SR and Mosley Benicia I feel like one of those aliens from an alien movie so these two can be combined and these two can be combined and so if by delaying the heart till you get home and praying it with us are you'll make life easier you can do that if by bringing us our forward and praying at lunchtime because you could

make life easy you can do that now if like in the UK if it's not of any help let's say you can combine them yes but you still need to do them at work if you can get a quiet spot that's excellent if you can't cut the question can you pray in the bathroom in the toilet well you can I mean it's not that the prayer won't be invalid obviously depends because not all toilets have been created equally and not all toilets are

used equally so I mean you have certain people like you make it you know what can I say okay the the aiming expertise is a hot topic of discussion often known to the male species you see this this aiming can be you know the aim getting the aim right can be big problem all the men on here will probably know what's going on there they probably like mmm like some words of wisdom but the aiming

can be a problem so you might have a lot of people they've they've kind of decorated around the toilet bowl so so obviously that's something you don't want to be doing so dude kind of get up and he go he want the good news or the bad news he go well the good news is I've done my Salah the bad news is I've quite interestingly managed to contract several urinary infections in my eyes

and in my nose I mean it's a it's a it was quite an experience I'll tell you so that's that's not what you want to do so but yes you can you can't pray in a toilet that that's not the size accepts allies acceptable anyway if the place is clean okay so that's that's just to make that clear um I would say that you see if you can get a quiet place to pray somewhere hamdulillah that's excellent you can maybe I don't know you have to assess wherever is that you're praying I don't

know your environment as far as doing voodoo is concerned yes I would say that there you can go with the photo of many scholars saying look you can wipe over socks fine if you'll create ease if you are struggling to do will do in a place I feel that in those circumstances you are opt it is permissible for you to do TM TM mum is just with a stone so if let's say let's say this is a stone right so you can't really I can't if I put that day it's gonna definitely fall trying to see if I've got a okay we're gonna have

to go with this no you still can't see it right okay no you can't see okay so this is the stone people I'm gonna have to just use any object phone put it there now all you do is you just tap it or just rub your hands rub your hands on it that's not to be cut out and edited and to be misconstrued then during a disciplinary hearing at work and you like well remove the appellate said just rub your hands I'm talking about the stone god damn it focus focus people focus right so you

can rub your hands on your taffy the stone right and then so you can wipe over your face that's it tap on it again and then you just wipe over the forearms like that job done that is teaming people Tim um works the same for goosal Moodle and it is this so and that is a substitute for cell all so if time was running out or if there was no water or if you were ill or voodoo and there is can a gemstone because that is such an interesting

question Sala hanim I don't actually know so much about gemstones any natural unless it is it oh I was gonna say okay let's see people okay google our gemstones natural synthetic gemstones are physically identical to their natural gemstone counterparts that are mined from the earth they have the same

physical properties and chemical composition as naturally occurring gemstones technology god I love it people right so right mind you yesterday I was with a friend we're coming back and I said I'm not gonna say exactly the whole dialogue but I said I said okay and I asked for instructions and I said what's the pulse give me directions to and it came up with something toe drop directions it just came up with something which I can't say anyway so that's when Google goes totally wrong

but so gemstones that are natural yes you can do TM among them you can do TM them on stones pebbles sand earth anything natural of the earth connected to the earth mainly I mean that's the agreed-upon general broadly agreed upon some people disagree but broadly agreed upon and then some people have gone to other extents of saying even trees and wood and but most people didn't accept stuff like that but they accepted all stones pebbles clay that kind of stuff

okay so now so in my understanding that if it was going to inconvenience you to a great considerably you can do tear mom at work if you're struggling that's my understanding in many places in Morocco today you will see most of the masjids I'm using Morocco as an example they all have a team on stone Indy and you will see people like that are slightly old not even that old that will come in just because like when it comes to washing the feet they kind of struggle a bit so they just go in and do the Imam and pray

and that's actually quite common it's okay I hope I've answered most of that let's take some other questions people let's go for some rapid rounds last 10 minutes shall we say born Eddie saying what's the topic of today any and all it's a free-for-all how are you gonna find stones and rocks in your office

loose eyelash are you killing it yeah of course you know but you can carry a little pebble you can carry a little stone you can carry a gemstone that's a good one right so unless you're working in a cave you go don't worry ah I will just Islamic will or final Testament hmm what do you mean by that Imran Khan you can put one in about yeah you can carry a small little nice shiny

pebbles you can carry that and some people have this understanding that it has to be a big rock the only big rock tell mum I only do big rock till move I think look that's that's just stipulating without any that's there's no nothing in the Quran or some mother says it must be a big rock although many for perhaps it sells so friends nails as they are dead friends nails I don't know what that is right okay the walls are stone the walls because if

you see because in an office or home or usually they will be painted and stuff like this so you won't have direct contact with something natural so you'd be more dealing with the paint and stuff like this free will what's my thought on freewill and destiny I've answered before that I believe we have choice although our choice may be limited in this world but we do have choice and the best way to understand this is like a game that's been pre-designed but every option now you can't change the game but we you get to in the game is up to you as a player I

think that is a pretty good answer for that right so what are some questions what would be weird to get caught with a stone in a suit pocket search might by the by the 5ol by the cops no not if it's a payable I mean I'm not saying carry a rock it's like you got this big rock and you like right okay I can explain officer he's like hmm you're

like well this is actually for worship [Music] no I'm not a pagan I can explain that part too it's so right so this is I think look you can you can keep a small tiny pebble somewhere yeah I'm sure that the cops won't be cops won't be like what the hell is this pebble doing in your pocket with police brutality the cop goes get him in a headlock get him taser this good for nothing

right so what is meant by allah placing a seal on hands Zak Mustapha right so Allah mentions that that there is a seal on the hearts of certain people that he but this you know this this seal on the hearts is to do with Allah addressing those people in his time in the time of the Prophet no not in a loss in the prophets time who knew the message and this is why certain people and I was just coming

across certain people like Imam Noah we in his commentary on Sahil Bihari highlights that the al-khattab of the prophets time was certain that they were awaiting Messiah and Brock and the Prophet was completely in line with that description they were awaiting but they rejected him out of arrogance and stubbornness not out of the fact that they didn't believe him to be true and it was that that was a mom know he speaks addresses was Kufa the arrogance

of knowing truth and rejecting it just I going to accept that from you even though you know it's true and it's that that Allah mentions that you know he has he is sealed that Allah Allah Allah be him were either I'm sorry him Allah has sealed their eyes and truth and their hearts meaning it's it's I mean it's symbolic and metaphorical in a sense of saying that this is their choice and they fate is sealed by themselves but Allah has that like basically if that's their choice then Allah has sealed their

hearts it's that's a kind of literary expression of I mean I'm using to to explain them what's your opinion on uneven haircuts really are we gonna still be asking this that is so dumb how did you come back alive Jon Snow from from the game of Thrones Allah we're Maasai socks then do it yeah I mean but you know I hmm alright let's take a few rapid round questions then we'll

this up people anything here no we just go back into that Facebook the Malaysia can never disobey God is this due to them having an innate income in capability to sin or is it circumstantial circumstantial rigidity which prevents any opportunity for them to say no my understanding is the melodica is not angels I'm not something

we can fire them but they are not beings like like us in that sense I don't assume that they are beings of that kind of free choice that's not the impression that is given in the Quran that it mentions there are certain beings of light some imagery in a small part is is used but generally it's quite vague a lot dismisses the notion that the Arabs had that the angels were the daughters of God he dismisses that and condemns it

but he mentions angels but not what they are how are they ontological E as a being we have no idea so I would just leave it as that disgraceful and you have Crillon as profile picture which is even I don't know what that's even on about I don't understand why you laughed at the question this generation about the Prophet and then I can't see anymore do we need an Islamic will we don't need an Islamic will but it's good to have a will in place because otherwise I think

is it 40 percent goes to the taxman or how does it work ah tax ah I don't understand was it Einstein who said that one of the things that is totally unfathomable is income tax right how much would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood well.all Martell fake you doing it you do in it right so let's take a few last questions people and then we'll bring this to an end what's

going on what's going on what's going on the importance of Islamic will here as well yes Salam difference between hadith and Sunnah of the Prophet I've mentioned this before and I do have a video on YouTube that Sunnah is the practice and the teachings of the Prophet hadith is a documentation by somebody who could have got it right or could have got it wrong so yes many Sonnen are found in hadith but not every hadith necessarily was a Sunnah and not every son now was

necessarily documented as a heavy a good example is for a Sunnah is the way the Prophet prayed with his hands at the side as the my Lakia and other groups do as well I mean the Maliki I do have other positions as well but as do many of the Shia or the I think some of the Abadi and other people they prayed like that and that was the position of many Sahaba and terrain including Imam Ali Hasan al-basri these people I mean even a serine people are watching as obeyed Abdullah disobeys I didn't obey Syed

amongst a year imam ali clay Zeeman side all these people had a they would pray with said that the hanging of the arms at the side now you won't really find any hadith clearly teaching that but it was a sunnah that was established that was there and it demonstrates this difference now and on the same token you will find many hadith that were not a sunnah definitely I mean either they were fake or they were wrong or they were misinterpreted or they were a good example which I mentioned in my war Bajor hadith paradox that the prophets that I've been commanded to fight people

and it was only until they accept what believe in me and what I've come with only then will their lives be saved from me and their wealth now that hadith it's definitely I don't think anybody accepts that I need to be a Sunnah but I would say that hadith is actually completely wrong unacceptable and I the fabricated or misinterpreted along the way so that's an example and Imam Malik was one of the key representatives of this distinction

right Salim whoever you are you need to chill right otherwise if you're if you're trolling you're gonna get blocked okay right now yes or an imam abu hanifa as well so they made a key distinction between some and hadith is cryptocurrency Hallel yes of course it is of course it is somebody's asking MacGregor or Habib you know I'm not really too much into sports apart from going to the gym

myself and yeah whatever what's ridiculous is I saw some posts were people saying because Habib guy is a Muslim anybody who's supporting MacGregor you know better not be friends with me or unfriend me or this this this and this shows that the the the kind of mentally and kind of socially handicapped view that certain really this was actually certain Muslims seriously saying this kind of stuff what

I mean how dumb can you get you couldn't get any I mean you couldn't be more stupid there's just no other depth of stupidity to go to it's so can we buy houses through banks in the West of course you can and I've got a whole detailed lecture on that if you you to be on loans mortgages and Reba

coming to the u.s. anytime soon maybe in the future in Charlotte not nothing imminently planned but let's see let's see how much do you bench and squat never enough always need to do more that's the story of my life what is the history of Abu Huraira and how did he come to relate so many hadith that's I've gone over that in the past must have been mad hater what's your availability in John Oh message and let's see what the availabilities supporting McGregor is

kufran Akbar well I mean I'm not really really into sports like that so I wouldn't really care less but I do think that trying to Islamize things is ridiculous Islam's got nothing to do with this kind of stuff and you know you know we're not a tribe we need to get out of this tribalistic mentality that we are a tribe Oh [Music] and then the irony is there's this dumb handicapped tribalism and then on the other hand we hate Muslims that's the

irony that we hate Muslims so much like we every other Muslim is a deviant deviant catholic deviant catholic caffeine caffeine catholic he looks like Maulana tariq jameel Sampson he's got this recently Paul Shuri actually he said you know he said something like he said maja be kept in shock after a shock at the Hobby golf area because the openly gay theory week after they really can't the open the cafe Sunni get there he goes got the uniike after a cut the unnie getting a Sunni Clefairy and he goes like like basically everybody's just calling each other calf here he goes Jeanette makan

Jake who is gonna end up in heaven it's gonna be a pretty vacant place all those all coming back to the beginning of the discussion all those who's in Jannah all those women in general they're just gonna be like hmm so it's a no-show I guess this is thermic it's the people of the cave in the Quran I've got a video on that no

wonder it's empty two to one ratio [Laughter] [Music] amongst the Obon the chef Manny Mota is beautiful for uniting a lot of people absolutely I agree Maulana tariq jameel cherem Nedley Mufti Rafi saw even I believe mallanna I said that's what I believe from debris Louise has tried as well recently quite hot say this earth Syed ourselves from Pakistan has tried as well and I think people are trying

but it's hard because there's too much hate out the missing three consecutive Juma's I mean these things were designed to create an emphasis it doesn't mean you're a hypocrite per se okay right okay guys last one two questions need a keeper for Elevens I don't even know what that means did the Prophet ask for more days with these be more beautiful wife what does that mean oh right no no no no no that's not true what had happened was the Prophet you

see look the Prophet was to uh the Prophet was a human being and to us he was the best of human beings and that is so beautifully expressed in in the Occidental Buddha where it says that were mob level only fihi and Nihonbashi room and you know the the pinnacle of what you can say is that he was a human well I know he reveled eloquently and yet he was the best of humans and of creation now you see the Prophet lived with people in an exemplary manner as a

human being he had relationships he had he was married he had you know he had children he traded he did these things and in relationships you will have ups and downs you know you will sometimes and that's just the human part of nature of relationships I mean sometimes people can be bad people but sometimes you can both be very reasonable people and just for some reason you know this incompatibility it's not working out so what had happened was in one of the narrations one of the prophet's wives soda she and the Prophet the relationship

wasn't really working out I mean they've been married for a while and the relationship wasn't working out and and in the Arab culture as still is today in some parts of the world like Mauritania but in the Arab culture back then divorce was not a taboo at all so divorcing somebody was not an issue at all and three marriages were not an issue there wasn't this thing of oh I won't marry a divorcee and stuff like in fact even today in Mauritania a woman who is divorced has a greater appeal amongst for marriage believe it or not that's and that's a very strict Muslim

society so women actually in that society kind of look down on women that have never been divorced they kind of oh they've only been divorced once they think huh only what this is true it's in Mauritania today and you know and they're very strict traditional Muslims so but back then I'm just trying to give you some frame of reference I'm not saying it was like that but back then divorcing was not a taboo so the relationship was on bad terms are not buttoned but it was on terms that were it kind of ran it was kind of running its course and so the Prophet spoke with solder

about look maybe we should just kind of leave this relationship and go our own ways and she said look I really don't have an interest in remarrying okay she said I don't have like so for example you know how women generally at the end basis like there was no issue in remarrying and she was because she was quite elderly as it was and she said look I don't really have no interest in like if I leave you marrying another man I don't really have any you know like I've reached that stage she was quite elderly like I mentioned I think at the time she may have been almost 60 years of age or something or

in their late 50s and she said look I don't have any interest like that and I don't really how about she said as a proper as a proposal to the Prophet we could end it but rather than ending it how about for example we don't really she said I don't really have any intimacy needs either I just go about doing my thing and and it does help being married especially in a patriarchal society and naturally in those societies the husband always took care especially financially and things like that of the women now she said what if we just kept it but it was at a

minimum so she said look I don't have intimacy needs I don't have these kind of not really looking to remarry we could just keep this relationship at a minimal level so you're not obliged you're not obligated to stay with me every so often you're not obligated you have your freedom and the Prophet said okay and so so she remained a wife of the Prophet and so the Prophet and that was a minimum relationship they had so that and that's what the person is referring to you saw the Prophet wouldn't and she actually suggested in that hadith she said look what about I know one day a week you come stay with

me what about if you stay with Ayesha that day as well like you I don't like I like my free space I like my freedom but we just stay in this minimal relationship so that was the incident of of the divorce discussion with soda rowdy Aloha cool people what's a motor I've spoken about that in the past Ibrahim stopped crawling

how do we differentiate between figurative and literal warnings well we look at the greater context and we use our own reasoning as well when you upload part six I thought it was uploaded I don't know I'm gonna have to look for that did the Prophet ever eat beef I think had these reference I'm I mean I don't have a reference to hand like something like that but I would have assumed that generally the Prophet definitely ate meat so goat meat sheep

camel meat these things were common the Arabs generally didn't I don't think they have I don't think cows were a great I think they definitely was a presence of cows in Arabia but I don't think it was the main kind of thing I could be wrong but I don't think it was a main thing that they resorted to and hence a cat generally the Arabs not eating so much meat maybe down to a roar like beef maybe down to that as in just the availability of beef for them and hence you get certain Haditha showing

that the Arabs were two people of of generally speaking of agriculture they and a lot of them were warring tribes and they had some agriculture but they weren't heavily invested in agriculture so that's interesting but I'm not saying they were there were definitely cows and you know oxen and bulls and all these things were present but to what relatively speaking on what scale the way they had camels present and they had goats and sheep present were cows of a similar proportion I believe they weren't but I could be I mean some research on that would be interesting

most eSAB have you done Hajj I haven't I've done a merabh or not Hajj distance you traveled too short in the fray in the Malek you method I would say anything that comes off the general understanding in the Maliki method is there's a difference of opinion some say something like 48 miles 40-something miles some have said 446 some have said 36 some have said 40 like there is a difference people popularly go with 48 miles what I would say is anything that constitutes a journey even if it's 30 miles if you feel that socially you would say this I went like that is a journey like like I traveled out there then you can shorten

the prayer that's my understanding right people let's wrap this up i sha this is above the radar of the alone on women's rights I mean generally it's I would say almost certainly that I share of the allahu allah is an emblem and a symbol of rights for women right from the onset that is I mean she is there she is categorically highlighting the importance she's also calling out where she sees any form of misogyny so when she sees the hadith and I've said that in my previous I've got it on YouTube as a

clip where she hears the hadith of a woman the prey is broken if a woman walks in front of you and she rebukes and condemns that narration saying that this is utterly so misunderstood right guys so let's wrap this up let's wrap this up I think as always look at that the drink a lot right til next week guys if you've got any questions do reach out to me do reach out to me Facebook
