a kind of senior in age in that sense in respect I've met him personally on a few occasions we've disagreed in the past as well on other issues we've disagreed respectfully okay so I remember many years back we had this whole discussion on gene possession and stuff like this we disagreed one could say with zeal but still respectfully he still showed me a lot of respect look I don't know what's in people's hearts but I just go with the apparent okay so so in that sense he what I saw from him was love and respect
and he visited after that I once drove him around and you know it's it my ma went recently was it last year the year before when chef yeah yes sir oddly came to London so I went down and he was there with me that time he met me we had a discussion a brief discussion we share here sir called thee as well he was there as well she has an ally and even afterwards you know we went to get food very respectful asked me to sit next to him stuff like this discussed with me very so I have a respect for Cher Hasan Ali I watched his
video where he was refuting and speaking about but once again you know he wasn't disrespectful and so in that sense I have a policy as long as somebody's respectful to me I will always be respectful back to them so just some points on what he said he brought forward a few points you see I like he was there was more transparency which sure has an ally so he made a point very clear in saying that look this thing of the second coming of Jesus cannot be clearly proven from the Quran so let's focus on the hadith I like that because at least that
was an only step and you know so and that's the truth so okay he he highlights that look he starts he goes through several hadith and he mentions hadith and he says that look the he says look the majority the Muslims believe that Jesus is coming back I accept that the majority of the Muslims do believe it but they believe it because they've been totally a story since they were kids majority of the Muslims believe ya jus Jamaat huge have these very long years which they go to sleep in and then these
kind of like critter like I don't know like gremlin like creatures and and most of the Muslims believe that it doesn't make it true there's no sahi hadith to prove stuff like that but this is what ya dude my dude look like these kind of gremlins with long years and they put one off of them when they go to sleep and they put the other one underneath them and and you know all these kind of things these stories that we all I heard as a child and we all heard just because probably ninety over ninety percent of Muslims probably believe that about yeah dude imagine it doesn't make it true so just because Muslims believe it but that's more so to do with them just
being indoctrinated by whilst they were young indoctrinated is strong word but they were kind of put this mythology he says that look this does come in a hadith he quote several hadith right I'm just trying to go through some of his points here now the thing is I'm not denying that these things don't come in hadith my angle if you watch my preload I would advise if sharehouse and a leaders watch this then chef show current for your response first of all and secondly I would advise if you do have some time I know you're a busy person but if you take out some time
watch my previous video it is on YouTube and I explain why this is a narrative in crisis it's not to do with the fact is there a hadith I know there's plenty of hadith but the hadith have problems and it's not just and I will in time to come in my detailed video in the future which will be like a course like video so I will dedicate several hours to everything in that video I will show the East Nadi problems but this is more than just it's not the issue here is that the details inside these hadith clash with Islam stuff like Jesus will force people
to become Muslim Jesus when he comes he will seal the deal there will be no more evil left on the earth he will be a judge he will you know animals will become vegetarians he will break the you know these kind of things don't make any sense and then I understand sure Hassan Ali said these things maybe like metaphor but then the whole thing could be a metaphor one could argue you know if if you're saying everything you know the breaking of the cross is a metaphor the killing of the pig is a metaphor the evil disappearing is a metaphor if if you say the animals becoming vegetarian are metaphor if you say you know if
you're saying everything is a metaphor that oh he will force people to become Muslim Azamat then why is Jesus the only non metaphor so it doesn't make any sense okay now you see he highlights I think share Hassan Ali highlights that look all scholars have had minority opinions this is interesting you see because what chef doesn't see here minority majority he says that show me a scholar in the
past who had just rare opinions this many let's begin with imam abu hanifa imam abu hanifa in his own day an age was seen as an absolute deviant by people and this is just a fact you just need to read the comments on him why because he had ice opinions from everybody if you see even has some other people transmitting from Abu Hanifah they say oh this they'll say he said this well let me a call me Herman table he table who feel Islam nobody before him in Islam had ever said that statement on so many statements about hanifa said that he had his own
ruling his own each they had a good look like up until the time of Abu Hanifa everybody believed that the cat would be given like let's say southern control Fatah or was the card you couldn't give it in money you'd give it from the actual thing the actual I mean you would obviously the card in money would be given of money but other things like let's say you've got the cattle fitter or other kind of things they must be given from let's say we to offer you know the actual kind of staple diet in my mama honey if I said no you can give money because money at the end of the day it's the objective he went against the absolute reading and the consensus
of all the ulama and all the Sahaba before him but he didn't matter because he said look at the end of the day Islam is trying to help the poor what better way to help them than to give them money because they can use it for their own needs you see not so many things imam abu hanifa was the first but yes just because today his views have become a majority in several parts of the world but that's to do with time that's to do with power positions following politics sectarianism it's to do with a lot of things to do with the fact that his student abu yusuf becomes the supreme judge of the muslim world and spreads the Hanafi method like
wildfire because he would only appoint a judge if the judge was Hanafy so you're telling me that didn't play a role in the Hanafi mother becoming accepted if you read the statements of the imams about abu hanifa when he died you will be shocked read what imam ahmed mohammed had to say about him read was Sophie on authorities contemporary had to say well they really spiteful words they were like they would you know this they show you in these lectures this nice and loving and lovey-dovey they were like I mean they had that side at times but they would read the criticism of Abu
Hanifah by these great scholars they rip him to shreds they really harsh and almost vulgar almost towards him they they speak of him like they say when he died people will I thank God that deviant has died they were like really really bitter towards him so this is right so this is so when he's saying you know Sheikh Hassan Ali says yeah the scholars had a minority opinion at times this minority majority is deemed by later people it's not deemed by the people at the time because this is a power position you see
you don't you can't say oh look looking back that was a minority position because that could have been a majority position if it took oh if it took up let's say the Shia became the majority of Muslims then Sunnis would be deemed as deviants and a minority if the Shia today were outnumbered the Sunnis we would just be seen as like a deviant sect and they would be seen as mainstream Muslims so it's not these are power positions this isn't like something which like I'm not trying to say I don't disagree with the XI I do disagree with the Shia and
their points but what I'm trying to say is who deems who to be the the majority minority is to do with how politics plays out and how power positions play out over era over time so so he asks a question share Hassan Ali did the Prophet say these things I don't believe the Prophet said these things about Jesus coming back I honestly don't now yes you've got plenty of happy but tell me tell me something why are 80 percent almost of these hadith only through Abu
Hurairah Ravi al-amin did you know that that almost 80 percent of all these hadith to do with Jesus coming back or just through Abu Huraira so you know when they say we've got so many hadith they just all going through Abu Hurairah and about 50% of them are just going through one person even if she have Zoey so you know when they keep saying we've got so many tens and tear or car stop counting the hundreds I got it's the same thing they're just going through the same person and I will show in my detailed video did you know things look
guys here's an interesting point did you not because we all know abhava Raina used to learn a lot from comforts he used to learn from cat ba ba ba he used to learn from Abdullah bin Salam to the extent I needs to think so highly of the above radar of the alarm and spent a whole day at Mount Sinai he traveled thee and he studied with Kabbalah ah he says in the hadith he was teaching me from the Torah I was teaching him what the Prophet used to say did you know there's a hadith check this hadith out people they say hadith that Abu Huraira transmits from this one I believe it's inside a Muslim as well but or we might
sorry this one might be Muslim Ahmed but I mean the chamber at this stage is irrelevant but it's from Abu Huraira to the Prophet saying that the most harsh of my ummah against that the gel will be bunny to me the tribe of Tamim yeah like because bunny to me was seen as like kind of hard knocks back in the day so they used to kind of have this thing about them that way kind of hard knocks and stuff and you know in that famous poem the guy says what is the nasty Tamati lied to me me Danza he goes in the might of the people it kind of completes with to me because Tama means to complete and Tamim comes from the
word Tama this is why isin a c10 my aletta Mimi and that's part of the poem and so the thing is that look they had this thing that they used to think we're done xand they're really strong and stuff so this Abu Huraira says I heard the Prophet say this and this is in the books of hadith that they will be the strongest in fighting the Dajjal yet yet Oh naughty naughty the same hadith this thing is transmitted in the other books of hadith image with a chain going back to Kabul Akbar cab there was the comfort converted to Islam not as a saying of the Prophet as
he is saying he says you know I like from the Arabs I like to me Bunny Tamim and he says that you nobody Tamim they will be the harshest against the jail you see and you have to remember Abu Hurairah I used to sit and he would teach hadith non-stop like this like subtle hadith they call this in our V Seldin hadith he would just go 1 2 3 4 and then he would talk as well maybe the people writing it from him would think everything he's saying is from the Prophet maybe the people from them would think that I'll tell you another one
guys this one is gonna shock you right check this out you know the famous hadith about that there will be women who are dressed yet naked and you know this famous hadith everybody's heard it right and that they will be in the Hellfire and they will judge Jenna paradise will be forgiven for forgiven forbidden for them and you could smell paradise from 500 years of a journey of something very famous hadith right so this hadith is in sahih muslim from abu hurairah that he heard the prophets saying he heard the prophets say that
they will come up people who men who will hold on to like the tails of cows right and women who will be dressed yet naked and they will be from the Hellfire and they will generally forbidden for them even though you could smell it from whatever now imam malik you see my Malik is a Don people he brings this hadith in the mosque table but he stops it on Abu Huraira now people don't realize the wisdom in what Imam Malik was doing they think oh he brought this as a hadith he brings it and stops it as a statement of
Abu Huraira now people say yeah but this sounds like I did now it does until you find in the other books of hadith like I believe even a bee-sh aber and other people have brought the hadith with the chain going back to Kabul a bar cap discomfort who by the way doesn't convert in the prophet's time he was around in the prophet's time but converts in almost time he the chain goes back to him he begins by saying and I read in the Torah that and then the exact same wording of
the hadith that a time will come when men will hold on to the tails of cows and women will be dressed yet naked and gender will be forbidden for them and you can smell Jenna from five hundred years from the Torah he says not from Allah and His Messenger so look people yes this hadith I know this hadith but these are the eighty percent of them are just coming through Abu Hurairah where are the great companions ways Abu Bakr where is Omar do you know there's not a single hadith about Jesus coming from Abu Bakr Omar Ali Osman any of
these people you telling me the great companions never knew the Akita abu huraira rody allah one who comes to Islam in just three years before the Prophet passes away yes he spends time with the Prophet yes and he must transmits he non-stop transmits and Omar Odion told him off said you know what he's actually said I'm gonna beat you if I see you continuously transmitting like this because he says you say things which I've got no idea where did you get this stuff from and he himself admits learning from other people now I'm not saying whether the mistake was from him or whether it's from people after him or
listening to him saying ten things or twenty hadith sorry not hadith let's say there's 20 things that he's teaching and they think all of them are from the Prophet but maybe two of them weren't two of them he picked up from and Kabbalah bar or from abdullah bin salam from other people but the people writing it just write them all as one so so anyway i hope that makes kind of sense now the other thing that share Hassan Ali mentions he he mentioned some principles I'm going to skip some of these to go into I think it's it's worth discussing
his principles he says I would like to fair play to him though he said about each man and stuff this kind of stuff is always debated and motiroti he does make a point in saying he feels that in motiroti any hadith can be made into art either - correct - correct the chef now according to the Hadees and the motto leaders who make up the bulk of the Sunni Muslims that is not true okay only firmly established hadith like so many what they do call whatever you know this discussion on what Awad there was actually an updated discussion first had nothing to do with hadith it was even a
Salah who kind of brings it into hadith but these people it was nothing to do with hadith initially it was to do with soon o solar effect and soon of Ikeda right so he says that they don't have to be motivated that's not true according to the majority of the scholars they do have to be motivated so just to correct the sheriff that he that might be his opinion I respect that but that's not the the method he represents like the hanafi madhhab that's not the Hanafy method right so right he highlights f7 or so argument which he can summer he asks look if a person if you reject a
hadith in Bukhari will you be consistent of course I will I'll be consistent in rejecting and he asks what is your principles look my principles are simple I'll highlight them to see if I have eath is valid you check the chain once that's fine then three these are the principles right here as they in the books of hadith by the way these are in masala hadith by even has imbibed nor Josey even to the rebar ah we've so UT they all mentioned these things that it cannot go against reason number one that's a they actually put it as number one it cannot go against the established
Quran and Sunnah and he cannot approve the prints of Islam that's my principle I'm happily shaved my principles with you he asked that what are the principles of methodology there you go that's my methodology and if any hadith clashes with these things it's unacceptable unacceptable he said would you allow other people to do this of course as to the common lay people look I as I've said before in my dialogue on the AMA in my lecture on the age of Aisha common people don't understand like they don't haven't studied this science so I would say to
them if they confused about hadith they should speak to scholars but if it bothers them but they feel that this hadith must goes against Islam for them in the understanding then I would say it's safe for you to not practice that honey even if you haven't consulted but if you felt it went against your understanding of Islam you can suspend it right that's absolutely fine and then you can seek guidance on it and you can seek clarification nothing wrong with that so if you find a hadith for example saying you know let's say that you find a hadith about I don't know something
saying you can kill yourself or you can do these or you think I don't think my understanding of Islam doesn't allow that well you find this hadith that says oh every time you kill a lizard a gecko you get all these rewards which is in Buhari and by the way and in I believe it's in Muslim as well but it's so every time you kill a lizard you get all these rewards and and that hadith makes no sense okay because the hadith says the reason you kill them is because the gecko the small lizard blew into the fire of Ibrahim Ali sanam to kind of
make it heat it up you think come on so what would one lizard do to the fire of ibraheem alehissalaam and even if you didn't want to kill that lizard why are you killing all these lizards like a doubt it these lizards did that and it's I doubt it lizards or conscious beings like they don't plan I think I'm gonna get you back like so lizards and it says if you kill the lizard in the one go you get a hundred rewards and if you kill it in two girls you get like I think fifty or something and if you kill it in three girls you get ten or something it mentions this
hadith is made up there's no way on earth that is a heavy right so and then this thing you see another thing she has an ally part of his argument was scare mongering now I get this a lot of mallanna's do this this is nothing personal to share has an ally who I mentioned I have great respect for but this is just part of the trend of that mulana trend you see to get the masses they try to intimidate them you know how will you be on the day of judgement when you rise up amongst these people and you know would you like you know this kind of scare mongering the whole theme like
if you doubt hadith if you doubt this hadith today tomorrow you'll doubt the Quran watch watch like these kind of things you're scaring people but that's not true because look I could show you these hadith like now let's say I showed you that this Geco hadith which is sahi and let's say people saying oh you can marry a little girl because it's in Buhari oh if you deny that then tomorrow you're gonna deny the Quran no I could show you had Ethan saw a Muslim that is insulting I think to the prophet and to Ali that the Prophet sent early to go murder somebody because the Prophet so he was
having an affair with one of his his own apparently according to this narration the Prophet slave girl who wasn't his slave girl was his wife but they say his slave girl so he wanted to kill her cousin and then when I Lee goes there he finds that the person doesn't even have the male genitalia like if the person's having a bath he gets up he doesn't even have a private but it's been unfortunately cut so how could have he had an affair so I'll he kind of leaves him and says Oh comes back and tells the Prophet in the Prophet who says oh okay what on earth is that what on earth is that that's utter garbage utter rubbish it's blasphemy so you telling me people reject that today tomorrow they're gonna
reject the Quran no of course not they need to reject stuff like that so Buhari Muslim these are not the Word of God so I think look this scheme mongering thing that on the day of judgment what will you do where will you be and stuff like these do you want to rise up tomorrow with these people or rise up with those people relax none of these Day of Judgment business right look everybody is trying to attain the truth everybody is trying to attain the truth so I think that kind of stuff is just skimming during which a lot of unfortunately a lot of Imams do that okay and fair enough
look share hassan ali said it's his belief that Jesus will come that's fine that's his belief I mean Jesus isn't gonna come but if you want to believe in it that's fine I you know it's you know situation I don't have a problem with that I'm just showing and he did say that look this is a debate about principles that and once again that once you open up this can of worms of questioning beliefs everything is gonna fall to pieces I think that's because of your lack of faith in our team that this team is much stronger than that by removing cobwebs the Deen is not gonna fall apart
and I can guarantee you this Deen is not gonna fall apart right so I think that this kind of scare mongering that look if we question this today then tomorrow all of Islam is gonna show up as weak then that's I think you've got a low opinion of Islam if not the share but anybody who thinks that I think they've got a low opinion of Islam right so I think you need to question things of course you need to question things otherwise anybody's gonna get anything past you somebody asked today why are wiping the socks part of it either Creed that's because the she I don't do it so they just want to get back at the Shia
by saying let's do this so really it's got nothing to do with creed nothing to do with Creed but yet they've put it in the books of Creed just to distinguish themselves from other groups right so that was my response to chef Hassan Ali so you know just like a long hey chef for making that video may Allah bless you and there was a little easier I I did want to say that look one point that look at the end of the day we are all Muslims we are all part of the majority the Sunni thing and I would advise that you know
if anything just treat this as a difference of opinion so when you're speaking to your followers just please address them as this is a difference that's all you can say it's a minority difference but just treat it like that don't don't treat it like don't sectarian I see because this is nothing to do with sex okay so that's that
