We find ourselves in these very problematic
situations
and we just don't seem
to be able to find the solution
when the solution is so clear cut my
brothers and my sisters.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is missing in our
lives and the way we will be able
to really understand Allah is due to none
other than
learning his religion.
My beloved brothers and sisters, honestly from the
bottom of my heart, I just want to
say
may Allah bless every single one of you
guys for taking the time out
on Friday
afternoon.
I know a lot of our young people
are doing on a Friday afternoon. Friday night,
get high, go clubbing, enjoy yourself.
Weeds legally, right?
I just came to know about that not
so long ago.
The youth are doing all sorts of things
on a Friday afternoon
all the way up until the night. So
for you to take some time out to
sit here
in front of this
guy here
to benefit honestly really really doesn't mean a
lot,
right? And the fact that you came here,
it honestly shows that there is a goodness
in your heart.
So may Allah
bless every single one of you, you have
guys
and honor
you
all. The second point I want to mention,
I just want to thank
the MSA for hosting this program.
It's not easy to put these kind of
programs together.
So may Allah bless them and reward them
for their excellence.
Also
I
want to thank,
Elminster. I thought you were trying to say
me too as well. Make sure you thank
us as well. When he was pointing out
yeah. These brothers,
Asar Asar
And that's Naveed.
For those who don't know, Naveed is actually
an expert on spoken words. Maybe we can
get him to come up later and say
a couple of words, you know. He's very
very shy. He is retired.
He is retired but we're gonna bring him
out of retirement.
And, the brothers who helped make this happen,
may Allah bless them all. And also before
I start the lecture I just want to
point out the following. I think it's very
very important that we realize that,
you know, to these programs Alhamdulillah wherever I've
gone we've been getting some of the biggest
drug dealers, trappers,
rappers,
right?
And also some of our sisters who might
go clubbing on a Friday night and then
Saturday afternoon they're sitting in the Masjid.
Yes. That happens guys.
Right? Just because someone does a sin that
doesn't mean
he
should completely leave off doing good deeds altogether.
Alhamdulillah, we've been getting that,
right? And I know my brothers and my
sisters are at different stages
of the journey
in
acquiring
the pleasure of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. So
please do bear that in mind,
Right? You may see at some of these
events
people who don't necessarily fit
the criteria
with regards to their dress code
when coming to these islamic events
that you are maybe accustomed to.
Right?
But like I said there are different stages
of their journey. Don't start staring down at
a sister that has maybe dressed different to
yours,
right? And you guys as well when you
see a brother who has a particular type
of hairstyle
or is maybe wearing something. Don't be the
reason why they are pushed away and it's
the first and the last time that they're
coming to these programs.
Facilitate, make people feel comfortable. They only came
to these programs in order to better the
understanding of the deen.
As I mentioned it's Friday afternoon, Friday night,
right? We know what happens on university campus.
I don't think I need to spell that
out,
right? Tickets go for maybe what $5, $10
to go and party all night or is
it more than that?
No, in the UK is like £5
right? Which is $10
Alakuliha my brothers and my sisters please bear
that in mind. We don't want to be
the reason why we push people away
or make them feel extremely uncomfortable. We facilitating
someone home, right?
Makes them feel good.
My topic today my brothers and my sisters,
we don't have a lot of time because
I have another program in Ar Rasheed Maslid
and I hope to see all of you
guys as well.
I want to speak about
5 Quranic
verses that will help us maneuver
and navigate around modern day
ideologies and doubts that are thrown away.
Being in the university environment, I know I've
been there myself my brothers and my sisters.
I did civil engineering
at university,
right?
I know exactly what takes place on university
campus. You have people who learn the religion
of islam
not so he can become guided, but so
he could target vulnerable muslims
who are
on the edge of their religion.
Yes! They are roaming around university campus
targeting
Muslims
who are uneducated,
right?
Bombarding them with distorted information
and they only have one goal and that
is to strip you off your faith.
I've seen it,
I've debated them, had discourse,
Right? It's something that is there and I'm
sure you guys are aware of this as
well my brothers and my sisters.
Before I mentioned these 5 quranic verses my
brothers and my sisters that will help us
maneuver and navigate around modern day ideologies and
doubts.
I want to mention the following and I
touched on it yesterday as well
at the event.
The devil has taken an oath
to distort 2 things or to alter and
change 2 things.
Does anyone know what these 2 things are?
If you came to the program yesterday, don't
put your hand up.
What are the 2 things that the devil
has set out
to fulfill in his mission?
I don't know.
To misguide humanity. To misguide humanity.
Good? Anything else?
Changing
the outer appearance of a human being.
Allah
the Almighty tells us in the Quran.
But before I forgot, I forgot something guys.
I forgot to mention the disclaimer
right at the beginning of the lecture. Just
want to make something very very clear guys.
I, Abutania,
don't have my own views and opinions.
Right? I,
Abutemia,
don't have any views and opinions.
Whatever I say to you
it will be directly
extrapolated from the scripture.
Just want to make that very very clear
just in case we have CNN or Fox
news in the crowd.
Already to take out
of proportion
what I'm going to be
delivering today in this program,
right? I have no views and no opinions.
I am not here to incite violence.
Towards any minority group let's make that very
very clear
disagreeing
with an ideology
or a sentiment
or a certain type of concept
that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a bigot.
Freedom of speech,
Sahir.
Liberal values, Statue of Liberty that you find
in New York, Sahir.
Where everyone is free to exercise
their right to freely express themselves.
And even then I'm not going to be
telling you anything that I think,
I will be just quoting the scripture
and not inciting violence
or hatred
towards any human being.
Right? Are we clear on
that? Whether it may be anyone from a
different religion?
Whether it may be
the rainbow team?
Right?
Or anyone else.
I have no
Make that very clear.
Right? We don't want anyone walking away upset.
This guy came
to propagate hatred. No, I'm not. I'm a
peaceful guy.
I propagate peace and compassion.
As you guys may have witnessed yesterday
a Tawah gathering.
Do you guys remember?
Sahih,
it's peaceful. Right? Did I say anything wrong?
The shaitan, the devil,
they came to alter and distort 2 things.
Right?
Allah tells in the Quran
quoting the devil.
I'm going to make sure that I mislead
them.
I'm going to make sure that I lead
them astray.
I am going to
enforce upon them now to stop putting holes
in the ears
of They will change the creation of God.
They will change the creation of God. This
was
mentioned in the Holy Quran over 1400 years
ago.
Right?
And then God tells us,
Whoever takes the Shaitan as a Wali,
as an alliance,
as a friend
and this person has gone far far straight.
He's at
a very serious loss we're being told.
This issue of Alwala
or you end up believing is a matter
of the heart. So, two things guys
that he wants the altar,
your outer appearance
and then also what? Your belief.
Does that make sense? Even when you look
at the verse
Allah quotes the devil in another place in
the Quran,
how he
is going
to attack
the children of Adam, human beings
from the front, from the right, from the
back, from the left,
from the front.
Ibn Abbasi said,
I'm going to give them doubts about the
hirafta.
Right?
From
the right.
They will have doubts about their religion with
my tricks that I have up my sleeve.
Are you guys with me? This is the
plot of the devil.
He wants to ensure that you shoot out
of the religion.
As Ibn Al Qayyim mentioned, gets you to
disbelief.
And in Khilas, when you've left the religion
of Al Islam, he will be at peace.
Ibn Tayyim, he talks about
6 tricks that he has up his sleeve
to misguide you. The first one is major
kufr and shirk
And then swap innovation. And then thirdly major
sins then minor sins.
And then busying you with that which is
less beneficial.
And then number 6, if you can't go
directly to you, it comes through your family.
It comes through your relatives. It comes through
your loved ones
to trick and trap you, and to cause
you to go astray.
That's the shaitan in a nutshell.
Trying his utmost best
to distort these two things.
Your outer appearance and then also what? Your
belief. You may ask what is the connection
between the 2? When you alter your outer
appearance and I'm not just speaking about
eye job, nose job, forehead job, eyebrow whatever.
And there's a lot
of altering that takes place today
with one's outer appearance. And
by the way this verse was mentioned in
which Surah?
Surah Nisa,
the chapter of women.
And this didn't happen by accident. If we're
going to be very honest guys,
let's be very honest.
Who tends to change the outer appearance more?
Is it men or women? Are you guys
going to call me misogynistic saying this?
Let's be honest, sisters.
Ear job, eye job, nose job.
There's a lot of things that being changed.
So Allah is mentioning this in Surat Al
Nisa
to
specifically notify Allah to the woman. Does that
mean that they are the only ones that
are being spoken to know? You got men
doing all sorts of things now.
Sahih,
am I wrong to say this?
Aren't they now changing,
adding, and
No further comment on that. I think everybody
knows what I'm talking about.
Especially now when the world has become extremely
colorful,
right?
Things are being taken off.
Things are being added on.
It's happening with men.
Point of the matter is
when you change your outer appearance whether it
may be you dressing a certain way
or whether you look a certain way, you
begin to feel a sense of belonging
towards a certain group.
And then you're just one step away with
believing whatever they believe because now you fit
in.
Does that make sense?
We are told in the Quran my brothers
and my sisters and you can clearly see
what I'm about to say or the group
of people that I'm about to make mention
of
they are carrying out
the work of the devil.
Haven't you seen the people of the book
who buy misguidance?
They spend with their money now to buy
misguidance and they want you to go far
astray.
How much you think it costs to make
the world so colorful guys?
The paintings and the flags and
we just came out of a certain type
of month.
All of these security
all of that which
was invested into making this happen.
Sahih
Allah is telling us here about the people
of the book let alone anyone else.
My brothers and my sisters,
right?
Normally, Islam is under attack.
We are under attack whether you realize it
or not. I've just now
you know shown some light on it of
how we are being targeted from different directions,
Right? And all of this is not just
so we can all live peacefully.
That's not the objective of why they are
doing these things.
Islam different story.
Everyone else
you guys are aware.
You say a certain something they call you
anti this.
You say a certain something they say you're
a bigot.
You say this you're a misogynistic.
But when it comes to Islam,
when it comes to our religion, oh, freedom
of speech. Areyst Gedalik isn't it so? So
how can you try and tell me that
this is in the best interest
of every human being?
It's clearly an agenda.
My brothers, my sisters
5 Quranic verses Insha'Allah that we want to
stand over and I'm hoping that you guys
take this away.
That will help us navigate around these doubts
and these different ideologies
that we come across.
The first verse my brothers and my sisters
and I'm hoping you guys write this down.
This is a class. Yesterday was more like
a lecture.
It's a very important class that you will
look back on.
That would help you be in the Alayhi
Ta'ala.
So if you have a pen and paper,
please do take it out. And if you
don't,
then
you know there's a line of poetry guys
where the poet said,
is a must that a student.
He carries with him scrap paper.
He writes when he rides and he writes
when he walks.
And because of course, when the 21st century,
I had to change that up a little
bit.
Gen Z millennials,
right?
I changed that up to instead of saying
Kunashin,
I said
Freshy way of saying iPad in the Arabic
language.
Right? It's important that a student carries with
him what an iPad.
Right? Or an iPhone or whatever you use
now to note it down.
Does that make sense?
I have this iPhone. Say, Masha'Allah. Masha'Allah. Before
it drops.
It was a gift from someone. It was
a gift.
Some of the notes that I use in
my lectures was maybe that which I noted
down 10 years ago.
All thanks to Allah and secondly
Steve Jobs
who invented
Icloud. You lose your phone everything is still
saved.
This notes has done my life
so much good. You know the notes app?
I only speak on behalf of Apple guys.
If you're galaxy, Allah help you. Right?
I don't know what you guys have on
your phone. I'm talking specifically about the Apple.
Point of the matter is the first verse
my brothers and my sisters.
Indeed the accepted religion
in the eyes of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
is none other than Al Islam.
Allah told us this in the Quran,
right? The only accepted religion by Allah is
none other than Islam. This was sent down
as a verse in the Quran over 1400
years ago. You may say to me now,
what makes al islam the right religion or
the accepted religion? Why can't the truth be
elsewhere?
1st and foremost my brothers and my sisters
as Muslims we believe in the bible.
Right? That hasn't been distorted.
We believe in the Torah,
right? That was sent down upon Musa and
the Injeel that was sent down upon Jesus,
Right? And that the Quran came after both
of these scriptures
as a form of completion
the seal, the message that Allah
in Nadina and Allah right?
We believe in that.
What makes this one more distinct than the
other?
You know my brothers and my sisters yesterday
asked me a question and I quote this
in verse.
Allah the Almighty in
His
Quran,
He put forth a challenge
to mankind
and more specifically the Arabs
who were the most eloquent
of people on the face of this earth
when it came to the Arabic language. And
the Quran is being sent down in the
Arabic language.
Does that make sense?
Allah puff off the challenge.
If both the jinnkind and mankind came together
to produce a Quran like this, they wouldn't
be able to do so.
That challenge still stands.
But then the challenge
was made simpler.
Of course, you're not going to be able
to produce a Quran like this.
And And no one has been able to
do this. It's been 1400 years. Have you
guys come across anything like the Quran that
has been produced?
Ever then the challenge still stands. But it
was made simpler
because of how weak the Arabs were.
2nd verse,
Muhammad
just produced
10 chapters
and let them bring forth whatever they want.
10 chapters let them produce that.
The smallest chapters in the Quran let's start
from Nas. So, Nas,
Falak,
Ahad,
Right?
10, just produced 10 and they still weren't
able to do so.
And then it was made even more simpler.
Allah said:
Just bring forth what?
One chapter.
The smallest chapter in the Quran is which?
3,
right? Verses,
smallest chapter in the Quran.
My brothers and my
sisters. They weren't able to produce that.
And when we talk about this my brothers
and my sisters,
right? We are speaking about
producing a Quran
similar in writing
and likewise
meaning. Right?
Flow and style.
Another is the content. The content that which
you find inside of this Quran.
When you look at the observational proofs, the
historical proofs,
all of this my brothers and my sisters
didn't just come out of nowhere.
When you look at the formation of the
embryo,
the Quran
mentions in detail the formation of the embryo.
Something that can only be known my brothers
and my sisters,
right?
Or it cannot be seen except with an
electronical
microscope.
How can a man
who was in the middle of a desert
over 1400 years ago
make all of these claims? And it turned
out to be exactly how he said.
He didn't have science.
Our prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam was
illiterate.
Couldn't read or write and then he's saying
all of this my brothers and my sisters.
Alongside all of the prophecies
of that which the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi also
made a claim of that this is going
to happen and that's going to happen.
One of them and I quote my brothers
and my sisters like I said, Abu Taiman
doesn't have his own views
Right? And opinions. One of the things that
he mentioned over 1400 years ago was salawatulabi
wa salamu alayhi. That which I fear the
most for you.
Is the practices of the people of Lot.
Lot,
that which we see extremely colorful today.
Over 1400 years ago he said this to
his companions.
Also from the prophecies my brothers and my
sisters
is when the Messenger of salam alayhi wa
sallam said,
You're going to find
bare footed
bedwins,
right?
Doing what?
Competing in structuring,
right? Or constructing
tall buildings.
Was anyone alive in this room over 60
70 years ago?
How was the Emirates at the time?
It was a desert.
Then they discovered
oil,
petrol,
right? And then they started erecting these tall
buildings.
How can a man in the middle of
a desert
say that this is from the signs of
the hour?
Did you guys recently see
those pictures that were going around of how
the Arabian desert became so green?
Do you guys remember?
Do you guys remember?
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said that
the hour will not arrive till that actually
happens over 1400 years ago.
Right?
The prophet he
also talked about
how at the end of time you will
find
And again this is what the messenger said
right?
You will find
females walking around
clothed and naked at the same time.
Clothed and naked at the same time, meaning
it will be so transparent.
It will expose their figures so clearly because
of how tight it is.
Right? And again guys, do we not see
this?
He said it's over 1400 years ago.
Right?
And the examples my brothers and my sisters
are in fact many.
The widespread of Riba, usury, interest.
He told us that this is going to
be what?
Very prevalent. We were also told in a
hadith that I mentioned yesterday.
From the signs of the hours, the knowledge
becomes less. Ignorance becomes so widespread.
Right? Zina likewise.
A zina.
Guys know what zina
is? Fornication.
Right? To the point I've been told that
the mother or the father knows that his
daughter is in a relationship but he turned
a blind eye.
Right? Turn a blind eye. 'Adi' is becoming
normalized. It's been popularized.
That if you don't actually have a relation
there's maybe something wrong with you.
This is how we grew up in schools.
They would dare one another and if one
said no, they would think that this guy
is maybe what?
Dysfunctional.
Are your brothers and sisters with me?
All of these what are prophecies.
And to conclude this point my brothers and
my sisters,
you have this Quran that has been memorized
by how many people? Does anyone know?
By the way how many pages does the
Quran consist of?
600 pages.
How many people have memorized it?
Any kafal here? Anyone here that's memorized the
Quran fully?
Come on, Edmonton.
1. How many?
2, 3.
The 2
shy. The 2 shy. The 2 shy. They're
just being humble.
Of the Quran that has been memorized.
And many people who memorize the Quran they
don't understand the Quran. Sahe.
Imagine now you have 600 pages of Japanese.
600 pages
written in Russian.
600 pages written in Chinese,
right?
Anyone here
attempting
to memorize
a book written in these languages would be
considered amazing.
Let alone accomplishing it.
Have you heard of any book like that
that's been memorized? I remember years ago years
ago, I came across a BBC article and
they were making a big deal out of
it. Now someone just
memorized I think it was a 120 pages
of what the gospel.
Big deal. BBC. Oh, wow.
There were all these Muslims.
Millions on millions.
It has been preserved as Allah mentioned in
the nahmulah zal nah zikra.
We are going to preserve the Quran Allah
said.
We sent it down and we will preserve
it.
Every letter, every harakah.
Harakah has been what? Preserved.
Did you guys see that viral video
of a Samani sheikh who was leading the
salah right at the end of Surah Paha?
And then he
said,
Does remember?
Viral video. Who's standing behind him? Maybe a
7 year old.
And then he corrects this imam
who what normally never makes a mistake.
Pay attention guys.
Right? He said.
The child corrects him.
Something as small as that.
Did the Sheikki angry?
1000 little kids correcting me. This is the
Quran has been preserved.
And then as he continues he smacks smiles
and continues.
Video went viral.
I used that as an opportunity. Now, to
show my brothers and my sisters that this
Quran has so beautifully been preserved.
Even by
what? The harakah. You know the fitha and
the kasra and the lama?
All of that has been preserved.
One will come from the other side of
the world
and then they start reading Quran to one
another
and they vibe,
right?
Would you guys
say chill out?
Would you guys say hang out hang out
sorry hang out. That's what you guys say
they hang out, right?
With the Quran and it's exactly how it's
been memorized
by the other.
Does that make sense my brothers and my
sisters?
The Quran has been preserved.
There was a difference now between this Quran
and the Bible that we have today and
any other book my brothers and my sisters.
Up until this very day they struggled to
confirm,
right?
As to whether this has a chain of
narration going back to the author of it.
Every conversation that I have
they are not able
to prove that this has been preserved
or they haven't been changed.
As for the Quran my brothers and my
sisters,
we do not accept
whether it's the Quran or a statement of
the Prophet. May peace and blessings be upon
him.
Right?
Without examining
it critically. Every reporter,
every individual in that chain of narration, he's
examined critically.
There's a whole science which deals with the
chains of narration.
My brothers and my sisters.
Even now we're not giving it justice.
The only accepted religion
by Allah
is none other than Islam.
These are just some points
to point out
how the Quran has been preserved, my brothers
and my sisters. So what's the first verse,
guys?
In the deenah and Allah understand.
The second verse my brothers and my sisters
when it comes to dealing with modern day
doubts.
That you as a Muslim
who might not necessarily be
learning with regards to your deen,
that you can hold on to Insha Allahu
Ta'ala is when Allah said,
Allah says, it is he who sent down
verses that are clay cut in its meaning.
Clear and apparent.
And there are other verses that perhaps may
be vague and unclear.
People of deviance, what do they do my
brothers and my sisters?
They grab on to those vague verses
and they have a field day with it.
Right?
They have a field day with it. You
as a Muslim
have mabadi,
you have a foundation. Things that you know
about your religion and then this guy just
comes out of nowhere he goes but your
Quran says this.
Right? And that's simply because it's taken out
of context due to
maybe some vagueness that has what appeared to
him or is it vagueuity?
Some are correct?
Vaguity or is it vagueness?
Who's good at English here?
Am I making a buzz on a spot?
Vagueness. Alhamdulillah.
Someone who knows English here. Right?
Shahid bin al Karam because of the vagueness
in that verse.
Just because you don't have the answer or
the explanation, my brothers and my sisters,
that doesn't mean there is an explanation. I
hope you guys write this down.
Just because you don't have the answers that
doesn't mean there aren't any answers.
Say that again for the 3rd
time: 'Just because you don't have the answers
that doesn't mean there aren't any answers.'
There are people that are more knowledgeable than
you
that you can take it to
and will have the answers to the questions
that you have.
Don't just jump ship,
right?
I'm gonna point someone out of the crowd.
My brother is wearing blue shirt.
Yes. What are you studying at university?
Engineering.
Engineering. So we click.
Seva or mechanical
Or chemical.
Don't do anything crazy.
Go on. General.
General? Yeah. 1st year. Okay.
3rd year, 2nd year? 1st year. 1st
year. 1st year, right?
If I ask you some questions,
right? Are you going to have the answers
for everything about your field? No. Your 1st
year, right? Even if you are 3rd year,
even after graduating there might be certain answers
that you don't have to the questions that
I posted, right?
Now that you're in 1st year, if someone
asked you some questions and you didn't have
the answers to it, would you think about
leaving your course?
No. Why not?
Come on.
Sorry if I just stuck it on you.
I apologize.
Can you see how ludicrous that is? Why
would somebody now just jump out of his
course because he didn't have the answers to
some questions that he was asked?
I have a cousin who's a doctor.
I asked him sometimes some questions. He doesn't
have the answer. Should Should he just turn
around and say, you know what? I'm going
to now revoke my medical license
because Abu Taimi asked me some medical questions
which I didn't have an answer to. So
now, let me call it a day of
my career.
Does that make sense guys?
Would anyone in Iraq mind do that?
You as a Muslim,
right?
1st and foremost, you haven't gone out
to educate yourself. There's no problem. InshaAllah you're
going to do so, right? But now someone
is posing some of these questions and you
don't have the answer to it.
Why would you then even think about oh
you know what Maybe the answer is elsewhere.'
Does that make sense? It's very very important.
So, what do we do? There are 2
ways to respond to these people who try
to grab on
to some of these verses that might have
a lack of clarity to it.
There is a general answer which is Listen.
I have my foundations and my principles.
Right? That's what I'm gonna hold on to.
This is what I've been told. This is
what the Quran says. As for this specific
Right? This specific
detail, I don't know I'm going to refer
to those who are more knowledgeable than me.
Then the one who's more knowledgeable comes and
he gives the elaborated answer,
Right? Completely
deconstructing
this doubt that he has presented.
Does that make sense? This is a second
important verse.
You have the clear verses and you have
some verses that are vague.
There are answers to it, but you don't
have the answer and just because you don't
have the answers that doesn't mean there aren't
any answers.
Number 3, my brothers and my sisters.
Don't worry guys, I'm coming on to
feminism
and
liberalism
coming onto it.
By the way, if there's anyone here that
ascribes to any of these ideologies,
there's no issues Insha'Allah.
We'll talk.
Me and the feminists have become the best
of friends on Twitter.
Right?
Been having a great time on there.
Number 3. 3rd verse.
Allah
says
in the Quran,
If we see those
who engage in false discussions
about our verses'
and the other verse says 'mocking the verses'
And you begin to hear this
turn away from them
Up until that
conversation
is changed,
right? They change the conversation.
If the shaitan makes you forget
don't sit with them after remembering. The other
verse
says otherwise you will become like them. And
I think that's common sense.
When you hang around with a certain type
of individual
with a certain type of mindset,
it begins to what? Filter through to your
beliefs. Am I wrong to say that?
As we exact without a shadow of a
doubt, what happens?
The people that you hang around with, they
will end up what affecting you. And we
know the hadith of the blacksmith and the
ghostmith in the middle of religious sarak, which
is to
You are upon the religion of your friend,
be extra careful and examine who your friends
are.
Right?
This is very very important my brothers and
my sisters. This is why Have you guys
heard of speaker's corner?
We are the problem.
Speaker's corner. You guys know what that is?
It's in the UK that corner where everyone
goes now to debate.
Why you guys acting like?
Guys not seen it? Yes.
You guys heard of Adi Dua? Yeah.
And some of the other brothers?
By the way, I'm not saying everyone that's
there debating,
right?
Is doing a bad job or shouldn't be
there or whatever. But a point in the
matter is
the worst place to be starting your journey
in Islamic knowledge
is by switching on speaker scholar to watch
these debates that are taking place.
You have absolutely no foundation
and then the first thing that you
open up to is what doubts that will
end up penetrating your heart. I went through
guys
27 universities when I was in the UK.
Right? 27 universities
up and down the country within the space
of 2 months.
Right? Second universities by the way guys. Secular
universities.
Some of these blue haired feminists they tried
to shut down my programs but they flopped.
And the skills team as well they tried
to up most of us.
But, again they fell miserably.
And here I am, Alhamdulillah,
going from place to place.
Up until now, not a single video of
mine has been taken down on YouTube
because I'm a compassionate imam.
Right? I spread peace.
And that's because we put those disclaimers at
the beginning guys.
Disclaimers are very important
like we did at the beginning.
Learn guys.
Like I learned from the solicitors
and the lawyers.
We used to speak for a whole year
before I started being very vocal.
Point of the matter is when you sit
with people who are falsely engaging in
some of these discussions about the Quran,
You don't have the answers, it's bound to
affect you my brothers and my sisters.
And let me tell you guys something else.
If you hear a doubt, don't just start
relating it to the people around you.
Right? Don't just start speaking about it to
the people in front of you. This is
what Sufyanath Ali would say.
If you hear like an innovative practice
or something that is a distortion
of the Deen, don't start telling everyone around
you.
Right?
Let him not pout this at the people's
hearts. Why? Because the hearts are weak.
Imam al Dhabhi commented he goes
The majority of the righteous scholars of the
past they take this position that you don't
do this because doubts
are dangerous
and the hearts
are weak.
Does that make sense my brothers and my
sisters?
Not everyone that has knowledge my brothers and
my sisters is fit to debate.
I'll say that
again. Not everyone that has knowledge is fit
to debate. You might have knowledge
but you lack the
debate tactics. You don't have that.
What's my evidence for it? The president messaged
salai when he sent Mu'av
to Yemen he said you're going to come
to the people of the book.
He's telling him about who he's going to.
You might have knowledge but then you go
into a debate because he's so slick in
the way he wears, in the way he
moves, in the way he Right?
He'll end up overpowering you and you will
look like the dumb one
in that debate, brothers and sisters.
Now before my brothers and my sisters,
by the way, can quickly someone tell me,
I got time, right?
Naveed, you have time for your spoken word.
Who can give me the 3 verses now?
What's the first verse?
No. No. No. No. The 3 Quranic verses.
That was an introduction.
And I mentioned 3 verses.
Hassan, the accepted deen religion with Allah is
not other than Islam. Number 2.
Someone else.
Uhsan to your Samadhi.
This is not favoritism or
I think everyone knows that.
Sheikh, that comes under the first one.
Number 3, what was it?
That's another Somali brother. Right?
Ethiopian.
Sorry.
Their neighbors. Their neighbors.
Are you guys with me? If you see
those
falsely engaging in the verses then all stay
with them.
When I was doing these universities towards my
brothers and my sisters, I came across a
Baba bearded.
He looks very Islamic.
Think, Marshallai, he's probably even a student of
knowledge. He came up to me, took me
to the side and he said, 'Akhid, please,
I need your help.' I said, what's the
issue? I thought he's gonna ask me for
money,
right?
He said to me: 'I have doubts about
my religion.'
I was shocked
because he didn't look like that.
And I said to him, how did you
get these doubts? It goes by watching speaker's
corner.
Cause I wanted Islamic knowledge so I started
watching debates.
You don't have a foundation yourself and now
you're what? Exposing your heart to these doubts
and debates.
Right? Because there's going to be arguments on
both sides. Yes. The Muslim guy might be
a strong debater but still a doubt
gets thrown, gets pouted, he doesn't give a
convincing answer,
hence, it was strange.
Number 4 my brothers and my sisters,
Allah says in the Quran
Bring forth the proofs if you are really
truthful.
Bring forth
the proofs if you are truthful.
Not everyone that makes a claim my brothers
and my sisters
should you believe.
Sometimes what happens is because you're so passionate
about defending your religion.
Someone says something about Al Islam
and then you just
with whatever you know you try to defend
it. When in reality, Akhidah which he's saying
is not even true.
Someone comes along and says, Oh, Islam is
oppressive.
Because it doesn't give women 5050.
And then you start debating, you start discussing,
and you're actually, half an hour you're there
debating with this guy. First and foremost, prove
to me that this is actually what? Oppressive.
You made the claim?
Bring forth why it's actually oppressive in the
Quran.
Islam in fact at times
gives more rights to women than men.
I love us because we don't know that.
We hear some of these sentiments that are
being thrown around and we end up what?
Embracing it straight away.
That's why when I deliver lectures by doing
the UK, I deliver lectures on feminism
and the status of a woman in Islam.
Every lecture that I delivered not a single
woman came up to me and said, I
don't agree with what you said. And
And that is because, I'll tell you why,
right? Right at the beginning,
I speak about
the status of women. All of our rights
that leaves our sisters
flabbergasted.
Because they didn't know that a woman is
entitled to all of this.
Even when it comes to the inheritance, this
is the biggest problem that
many feminists have
and they find maybe the law of God
a bit problematic.
They come across 1 verse
that is a portion of or a ratio
of 2 to 1 when it comes to
inheritance distribution between brothers and sisters.
Ah, impressive!
Why is he giving more to the guy
and not the woman?
There are 4 different scenarios. There are the
case when women take more than a man
and sometimes equal different scenarios.
And then how al Islam my brothers and
my sisters
make sure that a woman is treated like
a queen,
Right?
We got some guys here the moment they
go to the
what do you call it? Marriage sit down.
He's negotiating with her. Everything needs to be
5050.
That guy's got problems.
Right?
You sisters should not be entertaining this at
all. Even if you're a multi billionaire.
Islam still states that he should look after
her. If she wants to help out then
great. But is enforced upon her other than
Does that make sense guys?
And how al islam the prophet
time and time again instructed the man to
be kind to his what? To his female
folk, to his wife.
And sometimes some of the causes of feminism
feminism is because a sister
runs into a guy who's oppressive.
And then he might even use al islam
to justify his actions.
Yes, sisters. I'm with you.
He tries to use al Islam to justify
his actions. Islam said this and she's thinking,
If that's Islam, you know what? Forget it.
I'll go to my girlies.
Right? I'll go to them.
And my brothers and my sisters, who even
said that 5050
is actually justice? Who said that? Or that
this is the right
way. You've been made to believe that.
They've sold you this narrative that you must
through you must look through the lens of
equal rights. And only that is fair.
So then, with everything that you come across
of the Quran, you're trying to look through
his lens.
Let me ask you a last question. Would
any of you guys send your wives
or your sisters
to go and work in the sewage?
No.
Why not?
5050?
Equal wise.
You guys have these oil places here in
Edmonton.
What is it called?
Finance.
Is
there women working there?
Yes.
I don't know the detail of that, but
let me ask you guys another question. Right?
Let me ask you guys a question.
Would you send your wives to go mining?
Mining.
Is there women working in the mining industry?
Yeah? Are they really women though?
I'm just asking, I don't know. I'm new
to Canada, guys. I don't know what's going
on here.
Would you guys send your wife now to
start constructing
or erecting buildings
under the scorching heat?
Is the women adira? Yeah.
Hand brothers and sisters, would you feel comfortable
doing that?
It's just Allah created both men and women
differently.
Right? I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. I'm
sure a lot of you guys wouldn't as
well. And I'm sure a lot of your
sisters would tell the guy, no.
You go do it.
I'll go and look for a different type
of job.
A 5050.
Right?
Have you guys heard of the war that's
taking place in Ukraine? Guys heard of it?
Has it reached Canada, Edmonton?
But what happens 5050 though? Where the women
are?
Why don't you put them on the front
line?
Why you guys put them on the front
line, guys?
I don't hear any of the feminists coming
out,
and making a case out of this. Where's
the 5050 at?
Anyways, the point I was trying to make
is By the way, I still haven't gone
into the issue of feminism. Not there
yet. This is just We're getting there.
You save yourself maybe what? 2 hours of
debate.
You're defending Al Islam. Bro, that which he's
saying is not even true.
Let him prove to me that what he's
saying about Al Islam is actually true. What
does he say in the Quran?
And then he'll find himself dumbfounded.
Right?
Number 5, my brothers and my sisters. Number
5.
Allah says in the Quran
Do they not reflect on the Quran?
Do they not reflect and ponder upon the
Quran?
Right.
When it came from anyone other than Allah,
you would always find contradictions.
You know my brothers and my sisters,
a friend of mine one time told me
that he was on a flight
to one of these gulf countries
and right besides him was a brother
who had Richard Dawkins
book.
And alongside his book he had a big
fat dictionary.
Trying his utmost best to understand
what Richard Dawkins is trying to say. You
guys have Richard Dawkins, right?
Alhamdulillah if you don't know him. Yeah, it's
good.
Because I've got a lot of contradictions in
his
I've got it written down somewhere.
But I didn't save it on my phone.
He turns around to his brother, he says
to him, how come you're reading this book?
Says, you know,
the truth might be elsewhere.
It's a Khadija guy going to the Arab
world.
And we know that the
default religion there is what? Islam.
He then tells him and he says, 'Have
you ever read the Quran?'
Because, 'Yeah, I've read it, but
have you understood
it? Because I've never tried to understand it.
You never even tried to understand the Quran
and you're trying your utmost best now to
understand this. Richard Dawkins,
right? A non believer
who has completely disconnected himself from religion. Because
why don't you actually try to understand the
Quran?
Pin drop silence.
Pin drop silence.
Right? The Quran my brothers and my sisters
has the answer and the solutions to all
of our problems,
right?
I speak to atheists every now and again.
I speak to Mark
and one of the questions I always tend
to ask them is what do you see
as morally acceptable?'
Right?
Mark will give me certain things that he
sees to be morally acceptable.
Then I go to Suzanne
and she says that Mark is wrong.
That's not morally acceptable,
right?
Let me ask you guys a question. Have
you guys heard of something called
I always forget this word.
You know when you eat people, what is
it called? Cannabis. Cannabis.
Let me ask you this question. Is it
morally acceptable now to,
eat people?
Did you know that there are certain places
around the world with
it's perfectly fine?
To eat people is actually morally acceptable.
My brothers and my sisters. It is morally
acceptable
I hope that this is alright.
Relax. Relax, please. Calm down, guys.
Let me ask you guys another question.
I think you guys will like this one.
Is it okay and remember, what day is
it today?
No. The date.
7th? Did you say? Is it 7th?
7th July you were sitting in this lecture
room
called Cease
which is I heard also the intelligence of
Canada,
right? You're sitting in this lecture room called
Cease's building.
And we had this discussion.
Remember,
10 years down the line this discussion we
were having.
Let me ask this question,
is it okay for
one to have a relation with a sister?
More than acceptable, unacceptable?
But love is love, guys.
Love is love.
Is it okay for one to have a
relationship with his mother?
But love is love, brothers and sisters.
Just like water is water and go to
the toilet and get the water.
Right?
Sahir?
Isn't this the argument that we hear today
about you guys know what?
Love is love.
Let everyone do as they wish.
Even though once upon a time it was
morally unacceptable.
Why is there an issue with it? The
argument still stands.
He wants to have a relation with his
sister,
Same argument that we hear with that which
is extremely colorful
is also present here.
Why are you depriving him of love?
Leave him alone.
Leave and let be.
Everyone has that freedom.
Sir?
Isn't this what liberalism is? That everyone do
as they
wish. But when it comes to this, no.
Give it a couple of years
and you see how this is now legalized.
Likewise, you have weed,
cannabis.
As we're driving being driven around by Am
Khaled,
I see these shops that has cannabis.
I still haven't it still hasn't registered with
me.
But there is a shop
which serves you cannabis.
That's unheard of in the UK.
Once upon a time just about in every
single American state
it was illegal, but as time went on
it began to be legalized.
Let me ask you this question, is a
molly
correct to smoke weed?
See this As you can see, there's a
level of unsurety in the crowd.
Is it okay, guys?
No.
Anyone want to object?
If it's for medical purposes?
Who's saying none?
It's medication.
No lie, doctors I'm not a doctor guys,
but
generally speaking if I just want to start
smoking weed,
morally acceptable morally unacceptable
that discussion still stands. But once upon a
time it was illegal
in just about every single American state but
then it started being normalized and popularized and
so on and so forth.
Who determines for us, my brothers and my
sisters, what is morally acceptable and what's morally
unacceptable?
You know, when I speak to Mark and
then Suzanne says that Mark the atheist is
actually wrong, I am the atheist that's actually
right.
What causes her argument or her claims to
be
right?
More correct than Mark?
There will be constant discussions and debates.
I mentioned a story yesterday and I'll share
it to you guys as well because I
don't think a lot of you guys came.
But you had no you came to the
program yesterday.
That's not a lot. SubhanAllah, we had 1500
yesterday. It shows there's a lot of Muslims
in Edmonton.
I went to Australia
approximately a year ago guys.
And on my way there
there was a stopover in New Delhi,
India.
One of the worst airports I've been to,
right?
So as I was waiting I ran into
a brother.
A guy called We'll call him Mark, non
Muslim guy.
And we began to speak.
I said, 'Mark, why are you going to
Australia by yourself?'
I know why I'm going to Australia because
I need to go brainwash them, right?
Why are you going all the way there
20 hours?
Because I was meant to be going with
my girlfriend.
'Hey, what happened?' Butini is getting very nosy
here, right? Trying to find out exactly what's
happened.
'Because we broke up.' 'Hey, why did you
break up?'
He said 'I caught her having conversations with
the opposite agenda behind my back by text
message.'
'Hey, anything else?'
She would go outside wearing revealing clothes.
So me being a devil's advocate I said,
'What's the problem?'
Right?
Leave and let be, right?
Why are you being so controlling, Mark?
Now I do as she wishes.
Because, no, I don't feel comfortable with it.
I said to him,
how does she react to
you refusing to
have her go out like this?' She goes
'It didn't go down nicely.' She felt it
was a bit too controlling.
I was taking away her freedom.
I said, 'If you married a Muslim lady,
you wouldn't have this problem.
It's not even something that you would need
to think about if she's someone that's adhering
to the religion
and he's looking at me like that.
He's looking at me like that? Oh wow!
Right?
The point of the matter is my brothers
and my sisters and you see this subhanAllah
taking place in so many marriages. Sometimes I
go to arbitrate between husband and wife.
The husband says, 'I don't like the way
she dresses outside.'
He's got a problem with it.
Right? She says about him, 'I don't like
the fact that he speaks to women. I
asked him, what are you doing?
He goes, oh, they're just friends.
We're her colleagues.
Why is she being so pushy and so
jealous?'
Anything that comes from other than Allah to
structure your life, you're gonna find a lot
of problems.
Chaos,
just as we are seeing here.
I told Mark,
'She left you right?'
You're gonna go into another relationship.
The exact same thing is gonna happen and
she's gonna leave you. And another relationship which
is going to keep on clashing
because it's your view against her view.
This is why we are left with no
option except to accept
an external entity
which is the Allah the Almighty
who governs us with rules and regulations,
teaching us how to live our lives my
brothers and my sisters.
Does that make sense?
Otherwise there'll be constant chaos which we are
seeing
unfolding right before our eyes.
Putin sees it to be perfectly
moral
to kill Ukraine.
Ukraine and the west they think that this
is wrong,
right? Putin actually thinks that he's doing a
great job.
By the way, I'm not endorsing anything that's
taking place. I'm just telling you guys.
Everyone's looking at things differently.
We are in need of an external entity
that is divine, that is Allah's teachings
in how to structure our lives. Otherwise there'll
be constant problems.
The problems that we're seeing right now.
To touch on the issue of liberalism and
then Insha'Allah Ta'ala I'm going to speak a
little bit about Simone de Beauvoir
and Betty Friedan.
Have you guys heard of them?
Have you heard of Simon de Bevoire
and Betty Friedan?
That's someone there. Nava, 2, 3.
You guys as well? You guys heard of
Betty Friedan?
What do you guys study here?
Type.
Let's look at this issue of liberalism because
it's the way of life, right?
It's the way of life and I'm gonna
show you guys the contradiction.
Liberalism, live and let be, do as you
wish, freedom.
You tell someone don't do this, you know.
Why Why are you getting involved for? Let
them live their lives as they wish.
Your sister might go outside with a certain
type of clothing that is revealing
and you as the Prophet is saying
don't do this.'
And then someone else says why get involved?
Live and let be. Let them do as
they wish,
right?
And then you ask this individual now who
has
contested
your right
of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil.
You say to him, Taib, you've got
an issue with me telling her to cover
her hair.
Taib.
Why doesn't now she also takes off her
clothes? Would that be okay?
If you have a problem now with me
saying put something over your head,
right? To what extent?
To what extent
would you have a problem of her taking
off
now?
And then take off another and another and
another. Let me ask you guys a question.
Is it legal for a woman to walk
outside naked?
Is it legal?
Is it legal?
Completely naked.
Forget about completely naked. She's wearing what? That
which she would wear normally when when she
was swimming. Should I have to do that?
So, I was walking around on the streets
of Edmonton,
downtown.
Is it okay, guys?
But why though?
What is the issue?
Right? Live and let be.
Let them do as they wish.
Right? And then you have democracy on the
other
side. If we have a vote of 5149,
you are taking away the freedom and the
life of what the other 49 want.
And it just doesn't seem to go
hand in hand with one another.
You asked them right? Live and let be.
So if I come and harm you, is
there an issue with it? What's your name?
Mahmood. Mahmood I'm gonna come and I'm gonna
walk you across that.
Why not? Leave and let me. Let me
do as I wish.
One has the freedoms to go and do
as they wish. So, you ask them
is it unrestricted?
They'll say no there's got to be like
a parameter.
There has to be what? Boundaries.
Otherwise, they'll be problematic. Who puts down these
boundaries?
And what is considered harmful?
This is when the different the different
intellects
are placed against one another.
'He sees this, she sees that.'
Who do we go with? It is problematic
and contradictory.
Then you come my brothers and my sisters
to feminism.
Feminism in a nutshell, my brothers and my
sisters, it stands on 2 pillars.
Does anyone know what the 2 pillars are?
By the way,
first wave feminists
they had some reasonable,
right,
arguments.
They wanted education and so on and so
forth. Islam is not against that. Our discussion
is about second wave feminism. What is the
two pillars that it actually stands on? Does
anyone know?
Ascent.
Calling for the structure of society to be
changed
in order for men and women to be
equal.
What's
the second one?
Reproductive
rice. Reproductive rice.
I think, say that it comes under it,
but tell me if you disagree with me
on this. Right? Showing opposition to the traditional
role
that a female has had throughout history.
Can we say this maybe a second pillar?
As strong as the first. And what you
mentioned will also come on the
concept of feminism.
She agrees with me.
To an extent. To an extent.
Senteet.
My brothers and my sisters, these are the
2 pillars. Right?
These are the 2 pillars.
If you wanna go into more specifics, my
brothers and my sisters, promotes 5050 male slash
female quotas for all elected
and appointed offices and occupations.
Ignores marriage and is hostile to the family
unit. Demands recognition of sexual and reproductive rights,
including the acceptance of homosexual lifestyles
and right to abortion on demand.
Offers no protection to
housewives or full time mothers. Discourages the choice
to care for one's own children.
Targets and I put this in quotation marks.
Fundamentalists.
Right? Call them fundamentalists.
Religions as a barrier to women's rights and
demands that religion to be reinterpreted.
See how problematic is in light of Islam.
Calls for religion to be reinterpreted.
Blames the problems of women on make, power,
and control.
There's a lot that can be said my
brothers and my sisters, but let me share
with you guys
this conversation that happened between Betty Friedan
and Simone de Beauvoir.
The 2
founding mothers of feminism. You got 1 in
France and you got the other in America.
So far my anyone want to disagree with
what I said?
Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, would you agree
that they are founding mothers of feminism?
Come on.
But they could see that they were those
who inspired and enlightened and
No. Betty Friedan was interviewing Simone de Beauvoir
and she posed the question do you think
women should be given the choice now to
be housewives?'
Look at this answer of Simone de Beauvoir.
Her response was, no we don't.
We don't believe
that any woman should have this choice.
No woman should be authorized to stay at
home to raise her children.
Society should be totally different.
Women
should not have that choice precisely because
And here's the key here.
Because if there is such a choice,
too many women will end up taking that
choice.
I'm quoting.
Awutaimy doesn't have his own views and opinions.
To even get a little bit more specific,
my brothers and my sisters,
I like this one. Have you guys heard
of the Daily Mail?
Yes. Wow.
Is that here in Canada as well?
Yes. Daily Mail is one of the worst
news outlets that you can find.
Daily Mail, my brothers and my sisters is
like maybe the Washington Post. I don't know
what you guys have in Canada
but one of the most mainstream
This poem my brothers and my sisters of
1,582
women aged 25 and over.
All of whom were in a relationship
and in full time employment.
62%
admitted they secretly wished to be
a housewife rather than have a career.
We're not done. There's dailymail article guys. It
titled
did the feminist
bend their bras for nothing?
Majority of British women would pick being a
housewife over having a career.
And in the stats I mentioned,
62%
admittedly secretly wished to be a housewife.
74% they felt pressure
from other women to be independent.
78%. 70 8?
They wouldn't mind being financially dependent on their
partner.
I'm not done yet, guys.
Simone de Beauvoir, she has a book called
'Second *.'
Another
pieces of work that she's put forth.
So look at
the kind of
rhetoric she uses
when referring to her superior,
Satre.
Satre guys, her superior.
Probably thinking this is what? This is a
woman
who wages war against the traditional,
right? Role of a woman.
Her being a housewife,
her being at home,
right, and being a mother and so on
and so forth. And then look how she
speaks.
So now she's preparing her new independent home
in Paris
and waiting for the return of Sathre from
Paris.
Does it sound like an independent woman or
a housewife?
New furniture is bought, the walls prepared, and
new clothes have been purchased.
Sounds like a woman that a lot of
you guys would be interested in.
Sartre hated family life and persuaded her to
write the book.
He called her
a mere housewife.
She says about herself and I quote,
I was furious with myself to have disappointed
him in this way.
Does that really sound like an independent woman?
And she is the one, right,
that destroyed so many households
because she wanted to inspire women,
right?
And then you ask yourself the question my
brothers and my sisters was intellectual second wave
feminism really created by a man?'
I'm not done guys.'
She says this about Satori.
He was indeed a true superior.
She says, I felt dominated by someone else
intellectually. Satre lived up to the man that
I had dreamt of or dreamt up at.
Right? I was simply not in his cross.
I detest my own reflection
if at least my thought had given birth
to a hill,
a rocket,
but know nothing has taken place.
I am astonished to realize how thoroughly
I have been cheated.
This is one of the founding mothers,
one of the
women who empowered,
enlightened
And this is what she's saying my brothers
and my sisters.
Actions speak louder than words,
Point number 5 was what?
Quran. Do they not reflect upon the Quran?
Had
it come from anyone other than Allah you
would find contradictions,
discrepancies, holes in the narrative which we find
my brothers and my sisters.
Read the Quran
and you will find your answers.
Stop relying on your intellect to do the
job for you. My brothers and my sisters,
can anyone hear that which is taking place
in the car park? Anyone here that has
that superpower?
Anyone?
So you've accepted that
your ears are limited,
you can't see that which is taking place,
your eyes are limited. Can anyone smell that
which is happening outside?
Or which is being cooked outside there's nothing
happening outside, it can be stopped,
right? Can anyone smell it? No.
You have accepted now that some of these
body parts are limited.
Why do you fail to understand
that your intellect is limited as well?
Are you brothers and sisters with me? No
matter how smart and intellectual and intelligent you
think you are, there is still what?
A deficiency that you carry
and you'll never be able to encompass everything.
This is why my brothers and my sisters
we are in need of an external entity
that is above everything,
right? That teaches us how to structure our
lives. Allah,
who knew
or who knows should I say,
right?
What is best for those that he created.
Just like if you were to now invent
a new phone, you would know the most
about it.
Allah has created us, he has created mankind,
right? He knows us so perfectly,
so greatly,
right? So just take from the one who
invented, the one who created.
Well done my brothers and my sisters.
I've gone well over a time.
I was only meant to be here 45
minutes.
I think it went over by another 45.
Right? Honestly,
it was so wonderful to have you guys
here. It's been an absolute pleasure.
By the way, clapping should only be for
women.
Clapping is only for women.
Right?
My brothers and my sisters, honestly, I say
this from the bottom of my heart. I
love you all for the sake of Allah.
Honestly,
the fact that you all came here, it
really showed that there's goodness in your heart.
Let me ask you guys a question. Is
this on camera? If you switch it off,
don't switch it off.
Right?
Have I incited violence?
No. Say it louder.
No. Have I incited hatred?
No. Have I just quoted?
Yes.
Yes. I will tell you that he has
his own views
and opinions.
I just come and I quote Simone de
Beauvoir and Betty Friedan and I leave. That's
what I do. Right? I'm just here my
brothers and my sisters to enlighten you all
about Allah Azzawajal is messiah salallahu alaihi wa
sallam said.
Right? And then, that's when I leave.
The fact that you came honestly, guys, it
shows that there's goodness in your heart. Every
single one of you. And I know you
are different stages of your
pursuit of your journey. I ask Allah to
make you the best of the Muslims.
And if you're not a Muslim, Allah guides
you to that which is correct. Ameen.
Hazakulullah Khayram. Honestly, it's been a pleasure. I'll
see you guys at Masir Rashid.
We will do a lecture
We will do a lecture
on the interaction
that Yusuf had with the wife of Al
Aziz
when she went crazy over him.
We'll speak about it over there. InshaAllah, Assalamu
alaikum.
