00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			We find ourselves in these very problematic
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			situations
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			and we just don't seem
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			to be able to find the solution
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			when the solution is so clear cut my
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			brothers and my sisters.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is missing in our
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			lives and the way we will be able
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			to really understand Allah is due to none
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			other than
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			learning his religion.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			My beloved brothers and sisters, honestly from the
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			bottom of my heart, I just want to
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:22
			say
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			may Allah bless every single one of you
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			guys for taking the time out
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			on Friday
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:28
			afternoon.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			I know a lot of our young people
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			are doing on a Friday afternoon. Friday night,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			get high, go clubbing, enjoy yourself.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			Weeds legally, right?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			I just came to know about that not
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			so long ago.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			The youth are doing all sorts of things
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			on a Friday afternoon
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			all the way up until the night. So
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			for you to take some time out to
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			sit here
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			in front of this
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:55
			guy here
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			to benefit honestly really really doesn't mean a
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			lot,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			right? And the fact that you came here,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			it honestly shows that there is a goodness
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			in your heart.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			So may Allah
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			bless every single one of you, you have
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			guys
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			and honor
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			you
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			all. The second point I want to mention,
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			I just want to thank
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			the MSA for hosting this program.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			It's not easy to put these kind of
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			programs together.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			So may Allah bless them and reward them
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			for their excellence.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			Also
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			I
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:35
			want to thank,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			Elminster. I thought you were trying to say
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			me too as well. Make sure you thank
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			us as well. When he was pointing out
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			yeah. These brothers,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			Asar Asar
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			And that's Naveed.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			For those who don't know, Naveed is actually
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			an expert on spoken words. Maybe we can
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			get him to come up later and say
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			a couple of words, you know. He's very
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			very shy. He is retired.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			He is retired but we're gonna bring him
		
00:06:59 --> 00:06:59
			out of retirement.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			And, the brothers who helped make this happen,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			may Allah bless them all. And also before
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			I start the lecture I just want to
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			point out the following. I think it's very
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			very important that we realize that,
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			you know, to these programs Alhamdulillah wherever I've
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			gone we've been getting some of the biggest
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			drug dealers, trappers,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			rappers,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			right?
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			And also some of our sisters who might
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			go clubbing on a Friday night and then
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			Saturday afternoon they're sitting in the Masjid.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			Yes. That happens guys.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			Right? Just because someone does a sin that
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:30
			doesn't mean
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:31
			he
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			should completely leave off doing good deeds altogether.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			Alhamdulillah, we've been getting that,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			right? And I know my brothers and my
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			sisters are at different stages
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			of the journey
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			in
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			acquiring
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			the pleasure of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. So
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			please do bear that in mind,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			Right? You may see at some of these
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:52
			events
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			people who don't necessarily fit
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			the criteria
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			with regards to their dress code
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			when coming to these islamic events
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			that you are maybe accustomed to.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			Right?
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			But like I said there are different stages
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			of their journey. Don't start staring down at
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			a sister that has maybe dressed different to
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:13
			yours,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			right? And you guys as well when you
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			see a brother who has a particular type
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:18
			of hairstyle
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			or is maybe wearing something. Don't be the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			reason why they are pushed away and it's
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			the first and the last time that they're
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			coming to these programs.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			Facilitate, make people feel comfortable. They only came
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			to these programs in order to better the
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			understanding of the deen.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			As I mentioned it's Friday afternoon, Friday night,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			right? We know what happens on university campus.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			I don't think I need to spell that
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:41
			out,
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			right? Tickets go for maybe what $5, $10
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			to go and party all night or is
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			it more than that?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			No, in the UK is like £5
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			right? Which is $10
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			Alakuliha my brothers and my sisters please bear
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			that in mind. We don't want to be
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			the reason why we push people away
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			or make them feel extremely uncomfortable. We facilitating
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			someone home, right?
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			Makes them feel good.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			My topic today my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			we don't have a lot of time because
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			I have another program in Ar Rasheed Maslid
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			and I hope to see all of you
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:15
			guys as well.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			I want to speak about
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			5 Quranic
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			verses that will help us maneuver
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			and navigate around modern day
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			ideologies and doubts that are thrown away.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			Being in the university environment, I know I've
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			been there myself my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			I did civil engineering
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			at university,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			right?
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			I know exactly what takes place on university
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			campus. You have people who learn the religion
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			of islam
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			not so he can become guided, but so
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			he could target vulnerable muslims
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			who are
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			on the edge of their religion.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			Yes! They are roaming around university campus
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			targeting
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:01
			Muslims
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			who are uneducated,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			right?
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			Bombarding them with distorted information
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			and they only have one goal and that
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			is to strip you off your faith.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			I've seen it,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			I've debated them, had discourse,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			Right? It's something that is there and I'm
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			sure you guys are aware of this as
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			well my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			Before I mentioned these 5 quranic verses my
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			brothers and my sisters that will help us
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			maneuver and navigate around modern day ideologies and
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			doubts.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			I want to mention the following and I
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			touched on it yesterday as well
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			at the event.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			The devil has taken an oath
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			to distort 2 things or to alter and
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			change 2 things.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			Does anyone know what these 2 things are?
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			If you came to the program yesterday, don't
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			put your hand up.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			What are the 2 things that the devil
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			has set out
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			to fulfill in his mission?
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			I don't know.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			To misguide humanity. To misguide humanity.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			Good? Anything else?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			Changing
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			the outer appearance of a human being.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:20
			Allah
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			the Almighty tells us in the Quran.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			But before I forgot, I forgot something guys.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			I forgot to mention the disclaimer
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			right at the beginning of the lecture. Just
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			want to make something very very clear guys.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			I, Abutania,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			don't have my own views and opinions.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Right? I,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			Abutemia,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			don't have any views and opinions.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			Whatever I say to you
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			it will be directly
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			extrapolated from the scripture.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			Just want to make that very very clear
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			just in case we have CNN or Fox
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			news in the crowd.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			Already to take out
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			of proportion
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			what I'm going to be
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			delivering today in this program,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			right? I have no views and no opinions.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			I am not here to incite violence.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			Towards any minority group let's make that very
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			very clear
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:14
			disagreeing
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			with an ideology
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			or a sentiment
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			or a certain type of concept
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a bigot.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			Freedom of speech,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			Sahir.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			Liberal values, Statue of Liberty that you find
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			in New York, Sahir.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			Where everyone is free to exercise
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			their right to freely express themselves.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			And even then I'm not going to be
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			telling you anything that I think,
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			I will be just quoting the scripture
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			and not inciting violence
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			or hatred
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			towards any human being.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			Right? Are we clear on
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			that? Whether it may be anyone from a
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			different religion?
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			Whether it may be
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			the rainbow team?
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:01
			Right?
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			Or anyone else.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			I have no
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			Make that very clear.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			Right? We don't want anyone walking away upset.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			This guy came
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			to propagate hatred. No, I'm not. I'm a
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			peaceful guy.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			I propagate peace and compassion.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			As you guys may have witnessed yesterday
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22
			a Tawah gathering.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			Do you guys remember?
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:25
			Sahih,
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			it's peaceful. Right? Did I say anything wrong?
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			The shaitan, the devil,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			they came to alter and distort 2 things.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:39
			Right?
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			Allah tells in the Quran
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			quoting the devil.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			I'm going to make sure that I mislead
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			them.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			I'm going to make sure that I lead
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			them astray.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			I am going to
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			enforce upon them now to stop putting holes
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:04
			in the ears
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			of They will change the creation of God.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			They will change the creation of God. This
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			was
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			mentioned in the Holy Quran over 1400 years
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			ago.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			Right?
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			And then God tells us,
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			Whoever takes the Shaitan as a Wali,
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			as an alliance,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			as a friend
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			and this person has gone far far straight.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:39
			He's at
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			a very serious loss we're being told.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			This issue of Alwala
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			or you end up believing is a matter
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			of the heart. So, two things guys
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51
			that he wants the altar,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			your outer appearance
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			and then also what? Your belief.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			Does that make sense? Even when you look
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:58
			at the verse
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			Allah quotes the devil in another place in
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			the Quran,
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			how he
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			is going
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			to attack
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			the children of Adam, human beings
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			from the front, from the right, from the
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			back, from the left,
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:17
			from the front.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			Ibn Abbasi said,
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			I'm going to give them doubts about the
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:23
			hirafta.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:25
			Right?
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:26
			From
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:27
			the right.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			They will have doubts about their religion with
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			my tricks that I have up my sleeve.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			Are you guys with me? This is the
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			plot of the devil.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			He wants to ensure that you shoot out
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			of the religion.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			As Ibn Al Qayyim mentioned, gets you to
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			disbelief.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			And in Khilas, when you've left the religion
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			of Al Islam, he will be at peace.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			Ibn Tayyim, he talks about
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			6 tricks that he has up his sleeve
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			to misguide you. The first one is major
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			kufr and shirk
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			And then swap innovation. And then thirdly major
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			sins then minor sins.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			And then busying you with that which is
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:08
			less beneficial.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			And then number 6, if you can't go
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			directly to you, it comes through your family.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			It comes through your relatives. It comes through
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:15
			your loved ones
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			to trick and trap you, and to cause
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			you to go astray.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			That's the shaitan in a nutshell.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			Trying his utmost best
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			to distort these two things.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			Your outer appearance and then also what? Your
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			belief. You may ask what is the connection
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			between the 2? When you alter your outer
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			appearance and I'm not just speaking about
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			eye job, nose job, forehead job, eyebrow whatever.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:42
			And there's a lot
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			of altering that takes place today
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			with one's outer appearance. And
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			by the way this verse was mentioned in
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			which Surah?
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			Surah Nisa,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			the chapter of women.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			And this didn't happen by accident. If we're
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			going to be very honest guys,
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			let's be very honest.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			Who tends to change the outer appearance more?
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			Is it men or women? Are you guys
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			going to call me misogynistic saying this?
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			Let's be honest, sisters.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			Ear job, eye job, nose job.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			There's a lot of things that being changed.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			So Allah is mentioning this in Surat Al
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:22
			Nisa
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:23
			to
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			specifically notify Allah to the woman. Does that
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			mean that they are the only ones that
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			are being spoken to know? You got men
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			doing all sorts of things now.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			Sahih,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			am I wrong to say this?
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			Aren't they now changing,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			adding, and
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			No further comment on that. I think everybody
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			knows what I'm talking about.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			Especially now when the world has become extremely
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:53
			colorful,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			right?
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			Things are being taken off.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			Things are being added on.
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:01
			It's happening with men.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05
			Point of the matter is
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			when you change your outer appearance whether it
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			may be you dressing a certain way
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			or whether you look a certain way, you
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			begin to feel a sense of belonging
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			towards a certain group.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			And then you're just one step away with
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			believing whatever they believe because now you fit
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			in.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			Does that make sense?
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			We are told in the Quran my brothers
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			and my sisters and you can clearly see
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			what I'm about to say or the group
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			of people that I'm about to make mention
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:31
			of
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			they are carrying out
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			the work of the devil.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			Haven't you seen the people of the book
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			who buy misguidance?
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			They spend with their money now to buy
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			misguidance and they want you to go far
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:56
			astray.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			How much you think it costs to make
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			the world so colorful guys?
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			The paintings and the flags and
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			we just came out of a certain type
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			of month.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			All of these security
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			all of that which
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			was invested into making this happen.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:15
			Sahih
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			Allah is telling us here about the people
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			of the book let alone anyone else.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			My brothers and my sisters,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:24
			right?
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			Normally, Islam is under attack.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			We are under attack whether you realize it
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			or not. I've just now
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			you know shown some light on it of
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			how we are being targeted from different directions,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			Right? And all of this is not just
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			so we can all live peacefully.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			That's not the objective of why they are
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			doing these things.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			Islam different story.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			Everyone else
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			you guys are aware.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			You say a certain something they call you
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			anti this.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			You say a certain something they say you're
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			a bigot.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			You say this you're a misogynistic.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			But when it comes to Islam,
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			when it comes to our religion, oh, freedom
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			of speech. Areyst Gedalik isn't it so? So
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			how can you try and tell me that
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			this is in the best interest
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			of every human being?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			It's clearly an agenda.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			My brothers, my sisters
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:23
			5 Quranic verses Insha'Allah that we want to
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			stand over and I'm hoping that you guys
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			take this away.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			That will help us navigate around these doubts
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			and these different ideologies
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			that we come across.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			The first verse my brothers and my sisters
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			and I'm hoping you guys write this down.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			This is a class. Yesterday was more like
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			a lecture.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			It's a very important class that you will
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			look back on.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			That would help you be in the Alayhi
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			Ta'ala.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			So if you have a pen and paper,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			please do take it out. And if you
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			don't,
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:53
			then
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			you know there's a line of poetry guys
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			where the poet said,
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			is a must that a student.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			He carries with him scrap paper.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			He writes when he rides and he writes
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			when he walks.
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			And because of course, when the 21st century,
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			I had to change that up a little
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			bit.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			Gen Z millennials,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			right?
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			I changed that up to instead of saying
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:16
			Kunashin,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			I said
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			Freshy way of saying iPad in the Arabic
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			language.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			Right? It's important that a student carries with
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			him what an iPad.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:33
			Right? Or an iPhone or whatever you use
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			now to note it down.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			Does that make sense?
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			I have this iPhone. Say, Masha'Allah. Masha'Allah. Before
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:44
			it drops.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			It was a gift from someone. It was
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:48
			a gift.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			Some of the notes that I use in
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			my lectures was maybe that which I noted
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			down 10 years ago.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			All thanks to Allah and secondly
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			Steve Jobs
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			who invented
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			Icloud. You lose your phone everything is still
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:03
			saved.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			This notes has done my life
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			so much good. You know the notes app?
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			I only speak on behalf of Apple guys.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			If you're galaxy, Allah help you. Right?
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			I don't know what you guys have on
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			your phone. I'm talking specifically about the Apple.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			Point of the matter is the first verse
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			Indeed the accepted religion
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			in the eyes of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			is none other than Al Islam.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			Allah told us this in the Quran,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			right? The only accepted religion by Allah is
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			none other than Islam. This was sent down
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			as a verse in the Quran over 1400
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			years ago. You may say to me now,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			what makes al islam the right religion or
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			the accepted religion? Why can't the truth be
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			elsewhere?
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			1st and foremost my brothers and my sisters
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			as Muslims we believe in the bible.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			Right? That hasn't been distorted.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:04
			We believe in the Torah,
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			right? That was sent down upon Musa and
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			the Injeel that was sent down upon Jesus,
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13
			Right? And that the Quran came after both
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:13
			of these scriptures
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			as a form of completion
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			the seal, the message that Allah
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			in Nadina and Allah right?
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			We believe in that.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			What makes this one more distinct than the
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:29
			other?
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			You know my brothers and my sisters yesterday
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			asked me a question and I quote this
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:33
			in verse.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			Allah the Almighty in
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			His
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			Quran,
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			He put forth a challenge
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			to mankind
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			and more specifically the Arabs
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			who were the most eloquent
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			of people on the face of this earth
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			when it came to the Arabic language. And
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			the Quran is being sent down in the
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			Arabic language.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			Does that make sense?
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			Allah puff off the challenge.
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			If both the jinnkind and mankind came together
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			to produce a Quran like this, they wouldn't
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			be able to do so.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:14
			That challenge still stands.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			But then the challenge
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			was made simpler.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			Of course, you're not going to be able
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			to produce a Quran like this.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			And And no one has been able to
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			do this. It's been 1400 years. Have you
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			guys come across anything like the Quran that
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			has been produced?
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			Ever then the challenge still stands. But it
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			was made simpler
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			because of how weak the Arabs were.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			2nd verse,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:49
			Muhammad
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:51
			just produced
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:52
			10 chapters
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			and let them bring forth whatever they want.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			10 chapters let them produce that.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			The smallest chapters in the Quran let's start
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			from Nas. So, Nas,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:03
			Falak,
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:04
			Ahad,
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			Right?
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			10, just produced 10 and they still weren't
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:21
			able to do so.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			And then it was made even more simpler.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			Allah said:
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			Just bring forth what?
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			One chapter.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			The smallest chapter in the Quran is which?
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			3,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			right? Verses,
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			smallest chapter in the Quran.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			My brothers and my
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			sisters. They weren't able to produce that.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			And when we talk about this my brothers
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:53
			and my sisters,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			right? We are speaking about
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			producing a Quran
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			similar in writing
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			and likewise
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			meaning. Right?
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			Flow and style.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			Another is the content. The content that which
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12
			you find inside of this Quran.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			When you look at the observational proofs, the
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			historical proofs,
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			all of this my brothers and my sisters
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			didn't just come out of nowhere.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			When you look at the formation of the
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:23
			embryo,
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			the Quran
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29
			mentions in detail the formation of the embryo.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			Something that can only be known my brothers
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			and my sisters,
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			right?
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			Or it cannot be seen except with an
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			electronical
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			microscope.
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			How can a man
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			who was in the middle of a desert
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			over 1400 years ago
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			make all of these claims? And it turned
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			out to be exactly how he said.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			He didn't have science.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			Our prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam was
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:54
			illiterate.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			Couldn't read or write and then he's saying
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			all of this my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			Alongside all of the prophecies
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			of that which the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi also
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			made a claim of that this is going
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			to happen and that's going to happen.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			One of them and I quote my brothers
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			and my sisters like I said, Abu Taiman
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			doesn't have his own views
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Right? And opinions. One of the things that
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			he mentioned over 1400 years ago was salawatulabi
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			wa salamu alayhi. That which I fear the
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			most for you.
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			Is the practices of the people of Lot.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			Lot,
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			that which we see extremely colorful today.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			Over 1400 years ago he said this to
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39
			his companions.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			Also from the prophecies my brothers and my
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:43
			sisters
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			is when the Messenger of salam alayhi wa
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			sallam said,
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			You're going to find
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:57
			bare footed
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			bedwins,
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:00
			right?
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			Doing what?
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			Competing in structuring,
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			right? Or constructing
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			tall buildings.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			Was anyone alive in this room over 60
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			70 years ago?
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			How was the Emirates at the time?
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			It was a desert.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			Then they discovered
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			oil,
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			petrol,
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			right? And then they started erecting these tall
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			buildings.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			How can a man in the middle of
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:30
			a desert
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			say that this is from the signs of
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			the hour?
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			Did you guys recently see
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:38
			those pictures that were going around of how
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			the Arabian desert became so green?
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42
			Do you guys remember?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:44
			Do you guys remember?
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said that
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			the hour will not arrive till that actually
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			happens over 1400 years ago.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			Right?
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			The prophet he
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			also talked about
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			how at the end of time you will
		
00:28:59 --> 00:28:59
			find
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			And again this is what the messenger said
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			right?
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			You will find
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			females walking around
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			clothed and naked at the same time.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			Clothed and naked at the same time, meaning
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			it will be so transparent.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:25
			It will expose their figures so clearly because
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			of how tight it is.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			Right? And again guys, do we not see
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			this?
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			He said it's over 1400 years ago.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:32
			Right?
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35
			And the examples my brothers and my sisters
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			are in fact many.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			The widespread of Riba, usury, interest.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			He told us that this is going to
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			be what?
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			Very prevalent. We were also told in a
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			hadith that I mentioned yesterday.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49
			From the signs of the hours, the knowledge
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			becomes less. Ignorance becomes so widespread.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			Right? Zina likewise.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			A zina.
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			Guys know what zina
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			is? Fornication.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			Right? To the point I've been told that
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			the mother or the father knows that his
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			daughter is in a relationship but he turned
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			a blind eye.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			Right? Turn a blind eye. 'Adi' is becoming
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			normalized. It's been popularized.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:14
			That if you don't actually have a relation
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			there's maybe something wrong with you.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			This is how we grew up in schools.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20
			They would dare one another and if one
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			said no, they would think that this guy
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			is maybe what?
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:24
			Dysfunctional.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			Are your brothers and sisters with me?
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			All of these what are prophecies.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			And to conclude this point my brothers and
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			my sisters,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			you have this Quran that has been memorized
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			by how many people? Does anyone know?
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			By the way how many pages does the
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42
			Quran consist of?
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			600 pages.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			How many people have memorized it?
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			Any kafal here? Anyone here that's memorized the
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			Quran fully?
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			Come on, Edmonton.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			1. How many?
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:08
			2, 3.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:09
			The 2
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			shy. The 2 shy. The 2 shy. They're
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			just being humble.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			Of the Quran that has been memorized.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			And many people who memorize the Quran they
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			don't understand the Quran. Sahe.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			Imagine now you have 600 pages of Japanese.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			600 pages
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			written in Russian.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			600 pages written in Chinese,
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			right?
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			Anyone here
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:44
			attempting
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			to memorize
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			a book written in these languages would be
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:49
			considered amazing.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			Let alone accomplishing it.
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			Have you heard of any book like that
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			that's been memorized? I remember years ago years
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			ago, I came across a BBC article and
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			they were making a big deal out of
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			it. Now someone just
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			memorized I think it was a 120 pages
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			of what the gospel.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			Big deal. BBC. Oh, wow.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			There were all these Muslims.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			Millions on millions.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			It has been preserved as Allah mentioned in
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			the nahmulah zal nah zikra.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			We are going to preserve the Quran Allah
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:21
			said.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			We sent it down and we will preserve
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			it.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			Every letter, every harakah.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			Harakah has been what? Preserved.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			Did you guys see that viral video
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			of a Samani sheikh who was leading the
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			salah right at the end of Surah Paha?
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			And then he
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:38
			said,
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:45
			Does remember?
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			Viral video. Who's standing behind him? Maybe a
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			7 year old.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			And then he corrects this imam
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			who what normally never makes a mistake.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			Pay attention guys.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			Right? He said.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			The child corrects him.
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			Something as small as that.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07
			Did the Sheikki angry?
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			1000 little kids correcting me. This is the
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			Quran has been preserved.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:14
			And then as he continues he smacks smiles
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			and continues.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			Video went viral.
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			I used that as an opportunity. Now, to
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			show my brothers and my sisters that this
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			Quran has so beautifully been preserved.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			Even by
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			what? The harakah. You know the fitha and
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			the kasra and the lama?
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:32
			All of that has been preserved.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			One will come from the other side of
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:34
			the world
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			and then they start reading Quran to one
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:37
			another
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:39
			and they vibe,
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			right?
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:41
			Would you guys
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			say chill out?
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			Would you guys say hang out hang out
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			sorry hang out. That's what you guys say
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			they hang out, right?
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			With the Quran and it's exactly how it's
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			been memorized
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			by the other.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:57
			Does that make sense my brothers and my
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58
			sisters?
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			The Quran has been preserved.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			There was a difference now between this Quran
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			and the Bible that we have today and
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:07
			any other book my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09
			Up until this very day they struggled to
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			confirm,
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:11
			right?
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			As to whether this has a chain of
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18
			narration going back to the author of it.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			Every conversation that I have
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			they are not able
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:25
			to prove that this has been preserved
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			or they haven't been changed.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29
			As for the Quran my brothers and my
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:29
			sisters,
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			we do not accept
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			whether it's the Quran or a statement of
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			the Prophet. May peace and blessings be upon
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:37
			him.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			Right?
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:40
			Without examining
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			it critically. Every reporter,
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			every individual in that chain of narration, he's
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			examined critically.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51
			There's a whole science which deals with the
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52
			chains of narration.
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			My brothers and my sisters.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58
			Even now we're not giving it justice.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			The only accepted religion
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			by Allah
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			is none other than Islam.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			These are just some points
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			to point out
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10
			how the Quran has been preserved, my brothers
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			and my sisters. So what's the first verse,
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			guys?
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15
			In the deenah and Allah understand.
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			The second verse my brothers and my sisters
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			when it comes to dealing with modern day
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			doubts.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			That you as a Muslim
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			who might not necessarily be
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			learning with regards to your deen,
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30
			that you can hold on to Insha Allahu
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			Ta'ala is when Allah said,
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			Allah says, it is he who sent down
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:53
			verses that are clay cut in its meaning.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			Clear and apparent.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			And there are other verses that perhaps may
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			be vague and unclear.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			People of deviance, what do they do my
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07
			brothers and my sisters?
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:11
			They grab on to those vague verses
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			and they have a field day with it.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:16
			Right?
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:18
			They have a field day with it. You
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19
			as a Muslim
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			have mabadi,
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			you have a foundation. Things that you know
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			about your religion and then this guy just
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			comes out of nowhere he goes but your
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:29
			Quran says this.
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			Right? And that's simply because it's taken out
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34
			of context due to
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:37
			maybe some vagueness that has what appeared to
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			him or is it vagueuity?
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			Some are correct?
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:42
			Vaguity or is it vagueness?
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:45
			Who's good at English here?
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:48
			Am I making a buzz on a spot?
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			Vagueness. Alhamdulillah.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54
			Someone who knows English here. Right?
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:57
			Shahid bin al Karam because of the vagueness
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:58
			in that verse.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			Just because you don't have the answer or
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			the explanation, my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			that doesn't mean there is an explanation. I
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:09
			hope you guys write this down.
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			Just because you don't have the answers that
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			doesn't mean there aren't any answers.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			Say that again for the 3rd
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:19
			time: 'Just because you don't have the answers
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			that doesn't mean there aren't any answers.'
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			There are people that are more knowledgeable than
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			you
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			that you can take it to
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28
			and will have the answers to the questions
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			that you have.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			Don't just jump ship,
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:32
			right?
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			I'm gonna point someone out of the crowd.
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:41
			My brother is wearing blue shirt.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			Yes. What are you studying at university?
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:46
			Engineering.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			Engineering. So we click.
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			Seva or mechanical
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:53
			Or chemical.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			Don't do anything crazy.
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			Go on. General.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01
			General? Yeah. 1st year. Okay.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			3rd year, 2nd year? 1st year. 1st
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			year. 1st year, right?
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			If I ask you some questions,
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12
			right? Are you going to have the answers
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:14
			for everything about your field? No. Your 1st
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			year, right? Even if you are 3rd year,
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:19
			even after graduating there might be certain answers
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			that you don't have to the questions that
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:22
			I posted, right?
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:25
			Now that you're in 1st year, if someone
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27
			asked you some questions and you didn't have
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			the answers to it, would you think about
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			leaving your course?
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			No. Why not?
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			Come on.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:45
			Sorry if I just stuck it on you.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:45
			I apologize.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			Can you see how ludicrous that is? Why
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			would somebody now just jump out of his
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			course because he didn't have the answers to
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			some questions that he was asked?
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			I have a cousin who's a doctor.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			I asked him sometimes some questions. He doesn't
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			have the answer. Should Should he just turn
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:03
			around and say, you know what? I'm going
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:06
			to now revoke my medical license
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:09
			because Abu Taimi asked me some medical questions
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			which I didn't have an answer to. So
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			now, let me call it a day of
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			my career.
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15
			Does that make sense guys?
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			Would anyone in Iraq mind do that?
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:19
			You as a Muslim,
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:20
			right?
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			1st and foremost, you haven't gone out
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:27
			to educate yourself. There's no problem. InshaAllah you're
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			going to do so, right? But now someone
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:31
			is posing some of these questions and you
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33
			don't have the answer to it.
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35
			Why would you then even think about oh
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			you know what Maybe the answer is elsewhere.'
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:41
			Does that make sense? It's very very important.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:44
			So, what do we do? There are 2
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:46
			ways to respond to these people who try
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			to grab on
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50
			to some of these verses that might have
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:53
			a lack of clarity to it.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:56
			There is a general answer which is Listen.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			I have my foundations and my principles.
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			Right? That's what I'm gonna hold on to.
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03
			This is what I've been told. This is
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:06
			what the Quran says. As for this specific
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			Right? This specific
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:11
			detail, I don't know I'm going to refer
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			to those who are more knowledgeable than me.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			Then the one who's more knowledgeable comes and
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			he gives the elaborated answer,
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:19
			Right? Completely
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:21
			deconstructing
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			this doubt that he has presented.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			Does that make sense? This is a second
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:27
			important verse.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30
			You have the clear verses and you have
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:32
			some verses that are vague.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			There are answers to it, but you don't
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35
			have the answer and just because you don't
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:38
			have the answers that doesn't mean there aren't
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:38
			any answers.
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:45
			Number 3, my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:49
			Don't worry guys, I'm coming on to
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:53
			feminism
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:54
			and
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:55
			liberalism
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			coming onto it.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			By the way, if there's anyone here that
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			ascribes to any of these ideologies,
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			there's no issues Insha'Allah.
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:09
			We'll talk.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12
			Me and the feminists have become the best
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			of friends on Twitter.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			Right?
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			Been having a great time on there.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			Number 3. 3rd verse.
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:26
			Allah
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:28
			says
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			in the Quran,
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			If we see those
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			who engage in false discussions
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			about our verses'
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:50
			and the other verse says 'mocking the verses'
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			And you begin to hear this
		
00:41:55 --> 00:41:56
			turn away from them
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:59
			Up until that
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:00
			conversation
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:01
			is changed,
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			right? They change the conversation.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			If the shaitan makes you forget
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			don't sit with them after remembering. The other
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			verse
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:14
			says otherwise you will become like them. And
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			I think that's common sense.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:19
			When you hang around with a certain type
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:19
			of individual
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			with a certain type of mindset,
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:25
			it begins to what? Filter through to your
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:27
			beliefs. Am I wrong to say that?
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			As we exact without a shadow of a
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:30
			doubt, what happens?
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:34
			The people that you hang around with, they
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			will end up what affecting you. And we
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:37
			know the hadith of the blacksmith and the
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			ghostmith in the middle of religious sarak, which
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			is to
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:44
			You are upon the religion of your friend,
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:47
			be extra careful and examine who your friends
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:47
			are.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:49
			Right?
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:52
			This is very very important my brothers and
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:54
			my sisters. This is why Have you guys
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:55
			heard of speaker's corner?
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:58
			We are the problem.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:01
			Speaker's corner. You guys know what that is?
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			It's in the UK that corner where everyone
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			goes now to debate.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:08
			Why you guys acting like?
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			Guys not seen it? Yes.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			You guys heard of Adi Dua? Yeah.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			And some of the other brothers?
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			By the way, I'm not saying everyone that's
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:19
			there debating,
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:21
			right?
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			Is doing a bad job or shouldn't be
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			there or whatever. But a point in the
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:26
			matter is
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:30
			the worst place to be starting your journey
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:31
			in Islamic knowledge
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:34
			is by switching on speaker scholar to watch
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36
			these debates that are taking place.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:38
			You have absolutely no foundation
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:40
			and then the first thing that you
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:43
			open up to is what doubts that will
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:45
			end up penetrating your heart. I went through
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			guys
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49
			27 universities when I was in the UK.
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:52
			Right? 27 universities
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			up and down the country within the space
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			of 2 months.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			Right? Second universities by the way guys. Secular
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			universities.
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:02
			Some of these blue haired feminists they tried
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			to shut down my programs but they flopped.
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:09
			And the skills team as well they tried
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:10
			to up most of us.
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			But, again they fell miserably.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:14
			And here I am, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			going from place to place.
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:19
			Up until now, not a single video of
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:21
			mine has been taken down on YouTube
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			because I'm a compassionate imam.
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			Right? I spread peace.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			And that's because we put those disclaimers at
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:29
			the beginning guys.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33
			Disclaimers are very important
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:35
			like we did at the beginning.
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:36
			Learn guys.
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:38
			Like I learned from the solicitors
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:40
			and the lawyers.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			We used to speak for a whole year
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45
			before I started being very vocal.
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:50
			Point of the matter is when you sit
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:53
			with people who are falsely engaging in
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:56
			some of these discussions about the Quran,
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			You don't have the answers, it's bound to
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00
			affect you my brothers and my sisters.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:01
			And let me tell you guys something else.
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:03
			If you hear a doubt, don't just start
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			relating it to the people around you.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:09
			Right? Don't just start speaking about it to
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			the people in front of you. This is
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:12
			what Sufyanath Ali would say.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:18
			If you hear like an innovative practice
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			or something that is a distortion
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:23
			of the Deen, don't start telling everyone around
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:24
			you.
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:25
			Right?
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30
			Let him not pout this at the people's
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:32
			hearts. Why? Because the hearts are weak.
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			Imam al Dhabhi commented he goes
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:38
			The majority of the righteous scholars of the
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			past they take this position that you don't
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			do this because doubts
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:44
			are dangerous
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46
			and the hearts
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:47
			are weak.
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			Does that make sense my brothers and my
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:51
			sisters?
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56
			Not everyone that has knowledge my brothers and
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:57
			my sisters is fit to debate.
		
00:45:58 --> 00:45:59
			I'll say that
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:02
			again. Not everyone that has knowledge is fit
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			to debate. You might have knowledge
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			but you lack the
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09
			debate tactics. You don't have that.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			What's my evidence for it? The president messaged
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:13
			salai when he sent Mu'av
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:16
			to Yemen he said you're going to come
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:17
			to the people of the book.
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:23
			He's telling him about who he's going to.
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25
			You might have knowledge but then you go
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			into a debate because he's so slick in
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:29
			the way he wears, in the way he
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:30
			moves, in the way he Right?
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:33
			He'll end up overpowering you and you will
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			look like the dumb one
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37
			in that debate, brothers and sisters.
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:41
			Now before my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			by the way, can quickly someone tell me,
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:46
			I got time, right?
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:50
			Naveed, you have time for your spoken word.
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56
			Who can give me the 3 verses now?
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			What's the first verse?
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:05
			No. No. No. No. The 3 Quranic verses.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			That was an introduction.
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			And I mentioned 3 verses.
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:12
			Hassan, the accepted deen religion with Allah is
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			not other than Islam. Number 2.
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:16
			Someone else.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:19
			Uhsan to your Samadhi.
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			This is not favoritism or
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:33
			I think everyone knows that.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49
			Sheikh, that comes under the first one.
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:53
			Number 3, what was it?
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			That's another Somali brother. Right?
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:00
			Ethiopian.
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:00
			Sorry.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			Their neighbors. Their neighbors.
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:08
			Are you guys with me? If you see
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:08
			those
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:11
			falsely engaging in the verses then all stay
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:11
			with them.
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:14
			When I was doing these universities towards my
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:15
			brothers and my sisters, I came across a
		
00:48:15 --> 00:48:16
			Baba bearded.
		
00:48:17 --> 00:48:18
			He looks very Islamic.
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			Think, Marshallai, he's probably even a student of
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:22
			knowledge. He came up to me, took me
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:24
			to the side and he said, 'Akhid, please,
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:25
			I need your help.' I said, what's the
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:27
			issue? I thought he's gonna ask me for
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:28
			money,
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:28
			right?
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30
			He said to me: 'I have doubts about
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:31
			my religion.'
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:33
			I was shocked
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:36
			because he didn't look like that.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:38
			And I said to him, how did you
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:39
			get these doubts? It goes by watching speaker's
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			corner.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44
			Cause I wanted Islamic knowledge so I started
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			watching debates.
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:47
			You don't have a foundation yourself and now
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:49
			you're what? Exposing your heart to these doubts
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:50
			and debates.
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:53
			Right? Because there's going to be arguments on
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:55
			both sides. Yes. The Muslim guy might be
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:58
			a strong debater but still a doubt
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:01
			gets thrown, gets pouted, he doesn't give a
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			convincing answer,
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:03
			hence, it was strange.
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			Number 4 my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:11
			Allah says in the Quran
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:17
			Bring forth the proofs if you are really
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			truthful.
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:20
			Bring forth
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			the proofs if you are truthful.
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:27
			Not everyone that makes a claim my brothers
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:27
			and my sisters
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:29
			should you believe.
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:32
			Sometimes what happens is because you're so passionate
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34
			about defending your religion.
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:36
			Someone says something about Al Islam
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:38
			and then you just
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41
			with whatever you know you try to defend
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:43
			it. When in reality, Akhidah which he's saying
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:44
			is not even true.
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:47
			Someone comes along and says, Oh, Islam is
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:47
			oppressive.
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:51
			Because it doesn't give women 5050.
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:55
			And then you start debating, you start discussing,
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:58
			and you're actually, half an hour you're there
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			debating with this guy. First and foremost, prove
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:02
			to me that this is actually what? Oppressive.
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05
			You made the claim?
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:08
			Bring forth why it's actually oppressive in the
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:09
			Quran.
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11
			Islam in fact at times
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:15
			gives more rights to women than men.
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:20
			I love us because we don't know that.
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22
			We hear some of these sentiments that are
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:24
			being thrown around and we end up what?
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:25
			Embracing it straight away.
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:28
			That's why when I deliver lectures by doing
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:30
			the UK, I deliver lectures on feminism
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			and the status of a woman in Islam.
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			Every lecture that I delivered not a single
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:38
			woman came up to me and said, I
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:40
			don't agree with what you said. And
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:42
			And that is because, I'll tell you why,
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:44
			right? Right at the beginning,
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45
			I speak about
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48
			the status of women. All of our rights
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:50
			that leaves our sisters
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:52
			flabbergasted.
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			Because they didn't know that a woman is
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:56
			entitled to all of this.
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:58
			Even when it comes to the inheritance, this
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00
			is the biggest problem that
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:01
			many feminists have
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:04
			and they find maybe the law of God
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:04
			a bit problematic.
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:06
			They come across 1 verse
		
00:51:08 --> 00:51:09
			that is a portion of or a ratio
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:11
			of 2 to 1 when it comes to
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:13
			inheritance distribution between brothers and sisters.
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:15
			Ah, impressive!
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:17
			Why is he giving more to the guy
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:18
			and not the woman?
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:20
			There are 4 different scenarios. There are the
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:23
			case when women take more than a man
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:25
			and sometimes equal different scenarios.
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:35
			And then how al Islam my brothers and
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			my sisters
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:38
			make sure that a woman is treated like
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:39
			a queen,
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:40
			Right?
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			We got some guys here the moment they
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:43
			go to the
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:47
			what do you call it? Marriage sit down.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:49
			He's negotiating with her. Everything needs to be
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:50
			5050.
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:52
			That guy's got problems.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:54
			Right?
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:56
			You sisters should not be entertaining this at
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:58
			all. Even if you're a multi billionaire.
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:02
			Islam still states that he should look after
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:04
			her. If she wants to help out then
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:06
			great. But is enforced upon her other than
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:09
			Does that make sense guys?
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:12
			And how al islam the prophet
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:15
			time and time again instructed the man to
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:18
			be kind to his what? To his female
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:19
			folk, to his wife.
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			And sometimes some of the causes of feminism
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:24
			feminism is because a sister
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:27
			runs into a guy who's oppressive.
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:30
			And then he might even use al islam
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:31
			to justify his actions.
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:34
			Yes, sisters. I'm with you.
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:38
			He tries to use al Islam to justify
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:41
			his actions. Islam said this and she's thinking,
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:43
			If that's Islam, you know what? Forget it.
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:45
			I'll go to my girlies.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:48
			Right? I'll go to them.
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:50
			And my brothers and my sisters, who even
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52
			said that 5050
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			is actually justice? Who said that? Or that
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:56
			this is the right
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:58
			way. You've been made to believe that.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:02
			They've sold you this narrative that you must
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			through you must look through the lens of
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:07
			equal rights. And only that is fair.
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:10
			So then, with everything that you come across
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:12
			of the Quran, you're trying to look through
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:12
			his lens.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:15
			Let me ask you a last question. Would
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:17
			any of you guys send your wives
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:20
			or your sisters
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:22
			to go and work in the sewage?
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:25
			No.
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:26
			Why not?
		
00:53:27 --> 00:53:28
			5050?
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:30
			Equal wise.
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:33
			You guys have these oil places here in
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:33
			Edmonton.
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:35
			What is it called?
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:36
			Finance.
		
00:53:37 --> 00:53:37
			Is
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:39
			there women working there?
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:43
			Yes.
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:46
			I don't know the detail of that, but
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:48
			let me ask you guys another question. Right?
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:51
			Let me ask you guys a question.
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:54
			Would you send your wives to go mining?
		
00:53:56 --> 00:53:56
			Mining.
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			Is there women working in the mining industry?
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:05
			Yeah? Are they really women though?
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:10
			I'm just asking, I don't know. I'm new
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:11
			to Canada, guys. I don't know what's going
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:12
			on here.
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:15
			Would you guys send your wife now to
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:16
			start constructing
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:18
			or erecting buildings
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:20
			under the scorching heat?
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:23
			Is the women adira? Yeah.
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:29
			Hand brothers and sisters, would you feel comfortable
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:30
			doing that?
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:35
			It's just Allah created both men and women
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:35
			differently.
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39
			Right? I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. I'm
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:40
			sure a lot of you guys wouldn't as
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:42
			well. And I'm sure a lot of your
		
00:54:42 --> 00:54:44
			sisters would tell the guy, no.
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:45
			You go do it.
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			I'll go and look for a different type
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49
			of job.
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:51
			A 5050.
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:52
			Right?
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:54
			Have you guys heard of the war that's
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:56
			taking place in Ukraine? Guys heard of it?
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:58
			Has it reached Canada, Edmonton?
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			But what happens 5050 though? Where the women
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:02
			are?
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:04
			Why don't you put them on the front
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:05
			line?
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:09
			Why you guys put them on the front
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:10
			line, guys?
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:12
			I don't hear any of the feminists coming
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:13
			out,
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:15
			and making a case out of this. Where's
		
00:55:15 --> 00:55:17
			the 5050 at?
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:21
			Anyways, the point I was trying to make
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:22
			is By the way, I still haven't gone
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:24
			into the issue of feminism. Not there
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:26
			yet. This is just We're getting there.
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:32
			You save yourself maybe what? 2 hours of
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:33
			debate.
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:36
			You're defending Al Islam. Bro, that which he's
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:37
			saying is not even true.
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:39
			Let him prove to me that what he's
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:41
			saying about Al Islam is actually true. What
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:42
			does he say in the Quran?
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:44
			And then he'll find himself dumbfounded.
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:47
			Right?
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			Number 5, my brothers and my sisters. Number
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:52
			5.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:55
			Allah says in the Quran
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:03
			Do they not reflect on the Quran?
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:07
			Do they not reflect and ponder upon the
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:08
			Quran?
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:09
			Right.
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14
			When it came from anyone other than Allah,
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:17
			you would always find contradictions.
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:20
			You know my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:22
			a friend of mine one time told me
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24
			that he was on a flight
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:26
			to one of these gulf countries
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:29
			and right besides him was a brother
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:32
			who had Richard Dawkins
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:33
			book.
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:37
			And alongside his book he had a big
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:38
			fat dictionary.
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:42
			Trying his utmost best to understand
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:45
			what Richard Dawkins is trying to say. You
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:46
			guys have Richard Dawkins, right?
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:50
			Alhamdulillah if you don't know him. Yeah, it's
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:50
			good.
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:52
			Because I've got a lot of contradictions in
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:53
			his
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:55
			I've got it written down somewhere.
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
			But I didn't save it on my phone.
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			He turns around to his brother, he says
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:03
			to him, how come you're reading this book?
		
00:57:03 --> 00:57:05
			Says, you know,
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:08
			the truth might be elsewhere.
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:11
			It's a Khadija guy going to the Arab
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:12
			world.
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:14
			And we know that the
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:16
			default religion there is what? Islam.
		
00:57:17 --> 00:57:18
			He then tells him and he says, 'Have
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:20
			you ever read the Quran?'
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:24
			Because, 'Yeah, I've read it, but
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:25
			have you understood
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:28
			it? Because I've never tried to understand it.
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:32
			You never even tried to understand the Quran
		
00:57:33 --> 00:57:35
			and you're trying your utmost best now to
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:36
			understand this. Richard Dawkins,
		
00:57:37 --> 00:57:39
			right? A non believer
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:43
			who has completely disconnected himself from religion. Because
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45
			why don't you actually try to understand the
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:45
			Quran?
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:49
			Pin drop silence.
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:51
			Pin drop silence.
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:55
			Right? The Quran my brothers and my sisters
		
00:57:55 --> 00:57:58
			has the answer and the solutions to all
		
00:57:58 --> 00:57:59
			of our problems,
		
00:58:01 --> 00:58:01
			right?
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:05
			I speak to atheists every now and again.
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:07
			I speak to Mark
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:10
			and one of the questions I always tend
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:12
			to ask them is what do you see
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:13
			as morally acceptable?'
		
00:58:15 --> 00:58:16
			Right?
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:20
			Mark will give me certain things that he
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:21
			sees to be morally acceptable.
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:23
			Then I go to Suzanne
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:25
			and she says that Mark is wrong.
		
00:58:26 --> 00:58:28
			That's not morally acceptable,
		
00:58:29 --> 00:58:30
			right?
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:33
			Let me ask you guys a question. Have
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:34
			you guys heard of something called
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:38
			I always forget this word.
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:40
			You know when you eat people, what is
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:42
			it called? Cannabis. Cannabis.
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:48
			Let me ask you this question. Is it
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:49
			morally acceptable now to,
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:50
			eat people?
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:54
			Did you know that there are certain places
		
00:58:54 --> 00:58:55
			around the world with
		
00:58:56 --> 00:58:57
			it's perfectly fine?
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:00
			To eat people is actually morally acceptable.
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:04
			My brothers and my sisters. It is morally
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:05
			acceptable
		
00:59:13 --> 00:59:15
			I hope that this is alright.
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:20
			Relax. Relax, please. Calm down, guys.
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:24
			Let me ask you guys another question.
		
00:59:25 --> 00:59:26
			I think you guys will like this one.
		
00:59:27 --> 00:59:29
			Is it okay and remember, what day is
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:30
			it today?
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:32
			No. The date.
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:38
			7th? Did you say? Is it 7th?
		
00:59:39 --> 00:59:42
			7th July you were sitting in this lecture
		
00:59:42 --> 00:59:42
			room
		
00:59:42 --> 00:59:43
			called Cease
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:46
			which is I heard also the intelligence of
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:47
			Canada,
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:49
			right? You're sitting in this lecture room called
		
00:59:49 --> 00:59:50
			Cease's building.
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:54
			And we had this discussion.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:55
			Remember,
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:59
			10 years down the line this discussion we
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:00
			were having.
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:02
			Let me ask this question,
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:04
			is it okay for
		
01:00:05 --> 01:00:07
			one to have a relation with a sister?
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:11
			More than acceptable, unacceptable?
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:15
			But love is love, guys.
		
01:00:19 --> 01:00:20
			Love is love.
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:22
			Is it okay for one to have a
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:24
			relationship with his mother?
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:30
			But love is love, brothers and sisters.
		
01:00:31 --> 01:00:33
			Just like water is water and go to
		
01:00:33 --> 01:00:35
			the toilet and get the water.
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:35
			Right?
		
01:00:36 --> 01:00:37
			Sahir?
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:41
			Isn't this the argument that we hear today
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:43
			about you guys know what?
		
01:00:44 --> 01:00:45
			Love is love.
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:47
			Let everyone do as they wish.
		
01:00:48 --> 01:00:50
			Even though once upon a time it was
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:51
			morally unacceptable.
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:56
			Why is there an issue with it? The
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:58
			argument still stands.
		
01:00:58 --> 01:01:00
			He wants to have a relation with his
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:00
			sister,
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:03
			Same argument that we hear with that which
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:04
			is extremely colorful
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:06
			is also present here.
		
01:01:07 --> 01:01:09
			Why are you depriving him of love?
		
01:01:10 --> 01:01:11
			Leave him alone.
		
01:01:11 --> 01:01:12
			Leave and let be.
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:15
			Everyone has that freedom.
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:16
			Sir?
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:19
			Isn't this what liberalism is? That everyone do
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:20
			as they
		
01:01:21 --> 01:01:23
			wish. But when it comes to this, no.
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:26
			Give it a couple of years
		
01:01:27 --> 01:01:29
			and you see how this is now legalized.
		
01:01:31 --> 01:01:32
			Likewise, you have weed,
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:33
			cannabis.
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:40
			As we're driving being driven around by Am
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:41
			Khaled,
		
01:01:41 --> 01:01:43
			I see these shops that has cannabis.
		
01:01:44 --> 01:01:47
			I still haven't it still hasn't registered with
		
01:01:47 --> 01:01:47
			me.
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:49
			But there is a shop
		
01:01:49 --> 01:01:51
			which serves you cannabis.
		
01:01:53 --> 01:01:54
			That's unheard of in the UK.
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:58
			Once upon a time just about in every
		
01:01:58 --> 01:01:59
			single American state
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:02
			it was illegal, but as time went on
		
01:02:02 --> 01:02:03
			it began to be legalized.
		
01:02:07 --> 01:02:08
			Let me ask you this question, is a
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:09
			molly
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:11
			correct to smoke weed?
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:15
			See this As you can see, there's a
		
01:02:15 --> 01:02:17
			level of unsurety in the crowd.
		
01:02:18 --> 01:02:19
			Is it okay, guys?
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:20
			No.
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:22
			Anyone want to object?
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:28
			If it's for medical purposes?
		
01:02:29 --> 01:02:30
			Who's saying none?
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:38
			It's medication.
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:42
			No lie, doctors I'm not a doctor guys,
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:43
			but
		
01:02:43 --> 01:02:45
			generally speaking if I just want to start
		
01:02:45 --> 01:02:46
			smoking weed,
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:49
			morally acceptable morally unacceptable
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:53
			that discussion still stands. But once upon a
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:54
			time it was illegal
		
01:02:55 --> 01:02:58
			in just about every single American state but
		
01:02:58 --> 01:03:00
			then it started being normalized and popularized and
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:01
			so on and so forth.
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:06
			Who determines for us, my brothers and my
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:08
			sisters, what is morally acceptable and what's morally
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:09
			unacceptable?
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:15
			You know, when I speak to Mark and
		
01:03:15 --> 01:03:17
			then Suzanne says that Mark the atheist is
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:19
			actually wrong, I am the atheist that's actually
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:20
			right.
		
01:03:21 --> 01:03:23
			What causes her argument or her claims to
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:24
			be
		
01:03:25 --> 01:03:25
			right?
		
01:03:25 --> 01:03:27
			More correct than Mark?
		
01:03:27 --> 01:03:30
			There will be constant discussions and debates.
		
01:03:31 --> 01:03:33
			I mentioned a story yesterday and I'll share
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:34
			it to you guys as well because I
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35
			don't think a lot of you guys came.
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:37
			But you had no you came to the
		
01:03:37 --> 01:03:38
			program yesterday.
		
01:03:40 --> 01:03:42
			That's not a lot. SubhanAllah, we had 1500
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:44
			yesterday. It shows there's a lot of Muslims
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:45
			in Edmonton.
		
01:03:53 --> 01:03:54
			I went to Australia
		
01:03:56 --> 01:03:57
			approximately a year ago guys.
		
01:04:00 --> 01:04:01
			And on my way there
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:04
			there was a stopover in New Delhi,
		
01:04:05 --> 01:04:06
			India.
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:09
			One of the worst airports I've been to,
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:10
			right?
		
01:04:11 --> 01:04:13
			So as I was waiting I ran into
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14
			a brother.
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:17
			A guy called We'll call him Mark, non
		
01:04:17 --> 01:04:18
			Muslim guy.
		
01:04:19 --> 01:04:20
			And we began to speak.
		
01:04:23 --> 01:04:24
			I said, 'Mark, why are you going to
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:25
			Australia by yourself?'
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:28
			I know why I'm going to Australia because
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:30
			I need to go brainwash them, right?
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:32
			Why are you going all the way there
		
01:04:32 --> 01:04:33
			20 hours?
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:36
			Because I was meant to be going with
		
01:04:36 --> 01:04:37
			my girlfriend.
		
01:04:38 --> 01:04:40
			'Hey, what happened?' Butini is getting very nosy
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:42
			here, right? Trying to find out exactly what's
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:42
			happened.
		
01:04:43 --> 01:04:44
			'Because we broke up.' 'Hey, why did you
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:45
			break up?'
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:48
			He said 'I caught her having conversations with
		
01:04:48 --> 01:04:50
			the opposite agenda behind my back by text
		
01:04:50 --> 01:04:50
			message.'
		
01:04:52 --> 01:04:53
			'Hey, anything else?'
		
01:04:53 --> 01:04:56
			She would go outside wearing revealing clothes.
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:58
			So me being a devil's advocate I said,
		
01:04:58 --> 01:04:59
			'What's the problem?'
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:00
			Right?
		
01:05:01 --> 01:05:02
			Leave and let be, right?
		
01:05:03 --> 01:05:05
			Why are you being so controlling, Mark?
		
01:05:06 --> 01:05:07
			Now I do as she wishes.
		
01:05:07 --> 01:05:09
			Because, no, I don't feel comfortable with it.
		
01:05:11 --> 01:05:12
			I said to him,
		
01:05:13 --> 01:05:14
			how does she react to
		
01:05:16 --> 01:05:17
			you refusing to
		
01:05:18 --> 01:05:20
			have her go out like this?' She goes
		
01:05:20 --> 01:05:21
			'It didn't go down nicely.' She felt it
		
01:05:21 --> 01:05:23
			was a bit too controlling.
		
01:05:23 --> 01:05:25
			I was taking away her freedom.
		
01:05:26 --> 01:05:28
			I said, 'If you married a Muslim lady,
		
01:05:28 --> 01:05:30
			you wouldn't have this problem.
		
01:05:30 --> 01:05:31
			It's not even something that you would need
		
01:05:31 --> 01:05:34
			to think about if she's someone that's adhering
		
01:05:34 --> 01:05:35
			to the religion
		
01:05:35 --> 01:05:37
			and he's looking at me like that.
		
01:05:38 --> 01:05:40
			He's looking at me like that? Oh wow!
		
01:05:41 --> 01:05:42
			Right?
		
01:05:43 --> 01:05:44
			The point of the matter is my brothers
		
01:05:44 --> 01:05:46
			and my sisters and you see this subhanAllah
		
01:05:46 --> 01:05:49
			taking place in so many marriages. Sometimes I
		
01:05:49 --> 01:05:51
			go to arbitrate between husband and wife.
		
01:05:51 --> 01:05:53
			The husband says, 'I don't like the way
		
01:05:53 --> 01:05:54
			she dresses outside.'
		
01:05:55 --> 01:05:57
			He's got a problem with it.
		
01:05:57 --> 01:06:00
			Right? She says about him, 'I don't like
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:03
			the fact that he speaks to women. I
		
01:06:03 --> 01:06:04
			asked him, what are you doing?
		
01:06:05 --> 01:06:06
			He goes, oh, they're just friends.
		
01:06:07 --> 01:06:07
			We're her colleagues.
		
01:06:09 --> 01:06:10
			Why is she being so pushy and so
		
01:06:10 --> 01:06:11
			jealous?'
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:21
			Anything that comes from other than Allah to
		
01:06:21 --> 01:06:23
			structure your life, you're gonna find a lot
		
01:06:23 --> 01:06:23
			of problems.
		
01:06:24 --> 01:06:25
			Chaos,
		
01:06:25 --> 01:06:27
			just as we are seeing here.
		
01:06:27 --> 01:06:28
			I told Mark,
		
01:06:29 --> 01:06:30
			'She left you right?'
		
01:06:30 --> 01:06:32
			You're gonna go into another relationship.
		
01:06:33 --> 01:06:34
			The exact same thing is gonna happen and
		
01:06:34 --> 01:06:37
			she's gonna leave you. And another relationship which
		
01:06:37 --> 01:06:39
			is going to keep on clashing
		
01:06:39 --> 01:06:42
			because it's your view against her view.
		
01:06:43 --> 01:06:45
			This is why we are left with no
		
01:06:45 --> 01:06:46
			option except to accept
		
01:06:47 --> 01:06:48
			an external entity
		
01:06:49 --> 01:06:51
			which is the Allah the Almighty
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54
			who governs us with rules and regulations,
		
01:06:56 --> 01:06:58
			teaching us how to live our lives my
		
01:06:58 --> 01:07:00
			brothers and my sisters.
		
01:07:01 --> 01:07:02
			Does that make sense?
		
01:07:03 --> 01:07:05
			Otherwise there'll be constant chaos which we are
		
01:07:05 --> 01:07:06
			seeing
		
01:07:06 --> 01:07:08
			unfolding right before our eyes.
		
01:07:09 --> 01:07:11
			Putin sees it to be perfectly
		
01:07:11 --> 01:07:12
			moral
		
01:07:12 --> 01:07:13
			to kill Ukraine.
		
01:07:14 --> 01:07:16
			Ukraine and the west they think that this
		
01:07:16 --> 01:07:17
			is wrong,
		
01:07:17 --> 01:07:19
			right? Putin actually thinks that he's doing a
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:20
			great job.
		
01:07:21 --> 01:07:23
			By the way, I'm not endorsing anything that's
		
01:07:23 --> 01:07:24
			taking place. I'm just telling you guys.
		
01:07:25 --> 01:07:27
			Everyone's looking at things differently.
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:29
			We are in need of an external entity
		
01:07:29 --> 01:07:31
			that is divine, that is Allah's teachings
		
01:07:32 --> 01:07:35
			in how to structure our lives. Otherwise there'll
		
01:07:35 --> 01:07:36
			be constant problems.
		
01:07:38 --> 01:07:39
			The problems that we're seeing right now.
		
01:07:43 --> 01:07:45
			To touch on the issue of liberalism and
		
01:07:45 --> 01:07:46
			then Insha'Allah Ta'ala I'm going to speak a
		
01:07:46 --> 01:07:48
			little bit about Simone de Beauvoir
		
01:07:50 --> 01:07:51
			and Betty Friedan.
		
01:07:52 --> 01:07:53
			Have you guys heard of them?
		
01:07:54 --> 01:07:55
			Have you heard of Simon de Bevoire
		
01:07:56 --> 01:07:57
			and Betty Friedan?
		
01:07:58 --> 01:08:01
			That's someone there. Nava, 2, 3.
		
01:08:01 --> 01:08:03
			You guys as well? You guys heard of
		
01:08:03 --> 01:08:03
			Betty Friedan?
		
01:08:05 --> 01:08:06
			What do you guys study here?
		
01:08:08 --> 01:08:09
			Type.
		
01:08:13 --> 01:08:14
			Let's look at this issue of liberalism because
		
01:08:14 --> 01:08:16
			it's the way of life, right?
		
01:08:17 --> 01:08:18
			It's the way of life and I'm gonna
		
01:08:18 --> 01:08:19
			show you guys the contradiction.
		
01:08:21 --> 01:08:23
			Liberalism, live and let be, do as you
		
01:08:23 --> 01:08:24
			wish, freedom.
		
01:08:26 --> 01:08:28
			You tell someone don't do this, you know.
		
01:08:29 --> 01:08:32
			Why Why are you getting involved for? Let
		
01:08:32 --> 01:08:34
			them live their lives as they wish.
		
01:08:34 --> 01:08:36
			Your sister might go outside with a certain
		
01:08:36 --> 01:08:38
			type of clothing that is revealing
		
01:08:39 --> 01:08:40
			and you as the Prophet is saying
		
01:08:40 --> 01:08:41
			don't do this.'
		
01:08:42 --> 01:08:44
			And then someone else says why get involved?
		
01:08:44 --> 01:08:45
			Live and let be. Let them do as
		
01:08:45 --> 01:08:46
			they wish,
		
01:08:47 --> 01:08:47
			right?
		
01:08:49 --> 01:08:51
			And then you ask this individual now who
		
01:08:51 --> 01:08:51
			has
		
01:08:52 --> 01:08:52
			contested
		
01:08:53 --> 01:08:53
			your right
		
01:08:54 --> 01:08:57
			of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil.
		
01:08:57 --> 01:08:59
			You say to him, Taib, you've got
		
01:09:00 --> 01:09:01
			an issue with me telling her to cover
		
01:09:01 --> 01:09:02
			her hair.
		
01:09:04 --> 01:09:04
			Taib.
		
01:09:05 --> 01:09:08
			Why doesn't now she also takes off her
		
01:09:08 --> 01:09:09
			clothes? Would that be okay?
		
01:09:11 --> 01:09:14
			If you have a problem now with me
		
01:09:14 --> 01:09:15
			saying put something over your head,
		
01:09:17 --> 01:09:18
			right? To what extent?
		
01:09:21 --> 01:09:22
			To what extent
		
01:09:22 --> 01:09:24
			would you have a problem of her taking
		
01:09:24 --> 01:09:25
			off
		
01:09:25 --> 01:09:26
			now?
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:29
			And then take off another and another and
		
01:09:29 --> 01:09:31
			another. Let me ask you guys a question.
		
01:09:31 --> 01:09:32
			Is it legal for a woman to walk
		
01:09:32 --> 01:09:33
			outside naked?
		
01:09:34 --> 01:09:35
			Is it legal?
		
01:09:39 --> 01:09:40
			Is it legal?
		
01:09:41 --> 01:09:42
			Completely naked.
		
01:09:43 --> 01:09:45
			Forget about completely naked. She's wearing what? That
		
01:09:45 --> 01:09:46
			which she would wear normally when when she
		
01:09:46 --> 01:09:48
			was swimming. Should I have to do that?
		
01:09:48 --> 01:09:51
			So, I was walking around on the streets
		
01:09:51 --> 01:09:51
			of Edmonton,
		
01:09:52 --> 01:09:52
			downtown.
		
01:09:54 --> 01:09:55
			Is it okay, guys?
		
01:09:56 --> 01:09:57
			But why though?
		
01:09:58 --> 01:09:59
			What is the issue?
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:02
			Right? Live and let be.
		
01:10:02 --> 01:10:04
			Let them do as they wish.
		
01:10:05 --> 01:10:06
			Right? And then you have democracy on the
		
01:10:06 --> 01:10:07
			other
		
01:10:07 --> 01:10:09
			side. If we have a vote of 5149,
		
01:10:11 --> 01:10:13
			you are taking away the freedom and the
		
01:10:13 --> 01:10:16
			life of what the other 49 want.
		
01:10:17 --> 01:10:19
			And it just doesn't seem to go
		
01:10:19 --> 01:10:21
			hand in hand with one another.
		
01:10:22 --> 01:10:24
			You asked them right? Live and let be.
		
01:10:24 --> 01:10:25
			So if I come and harm you, is
		
01:10:25 --> 01:10:28
			there an issue with it? What's your name?
		
01:10:29 --> 01:10:30
			Mahmood. Mahmood I'm gonna come and I'm gonna
		
01:10:30 --> 01:10:31
			walk you across that.
		
01:10:32 --> 01:10:34
			Why not? Leave and let me. Let me
		
01:10:34 --> 01:10:35
			do as I wish.
		
01:10:36 --> 01:10:37
			One has the freedoms to go and do
		
01:10:37 --> 01:10:39
			as they wish. So, you ask them
		
01:10:40 --> 01:10:41
			is it unrestricted?
		
01:10:42 --> 01:10:44
			They'll say no there's got to be like
		
01:10:44 --> 01:10:44
			a parameter.
		
01:10:46 --> 01:10:47
			There has to be what? Boundaries.
		
01:10:49 --> 01:10:51
			Otherwise, they'll be problematic. Who puts down these
		
01:10:51 --> 01:10:52
			boundaries?
		
01:10:52 --> 01:10:54
			And what is considered harmful?
		
01:10:55 --> 01:10:57
			This is when the different the different
		
01:10:58 --> 01:10:58
			intellects
		
01:11:00 --> 01:11:02
			are placed against one another.
		
01:11:03 --> 01:11:05
			'He sees this, she sees that.'
		
01:11:06 --> 01:11:08
			Who do we go with? It is problematic
		
01:11:08 --> 01:11:09
			and contradictory.
		
01:11:11 --> 01:11:13
			Then you come my brothers and my sisters
		
01:11:16 --> 01:11:16
			to feminism.
		
01:11:20 --> 01:11:21
			Feminism in a nutshell, my brothers and my
		
01:11:21 --> 01:11:23
			sisters, it stands on 2 pillars.
		
01:11:25 --> 01:11:26
			Does anyone know what the 2 pillars are?
		
01:11:34 --> 01:11:35
			By the way,
		
01:11:36 --> 01:11:37
			first wave feminists
		
01:11:37 --> 01:11:38
			they had some reasonable,
		
01:11:39 --> 01:11:40
			right,
		
01:11:40 --> 01:11:41
			arguments.
		
01:11:41 --> 01:11:43
			They wanted education and so on and so
		
01:11:43 --> 01:11:45
			forth. Islam is not against that. Our discussion
		
01:11:45 --> 01:11:47
			is about second wave feminism. What is the
		
01:11:47 --> 01:11:49
			two pillars that it actually stands on? Does
		
01:11:49 --> 01:11:50
			anyone know?
		
01:11:53 --> 01:11:54
			Ascent.
		
01:11:55 --> 01:11:58
			Calling for the structure of society to be
		
01:11:58 --> 01:11:58
			changed
		
01:11:59 --> 01:12:00
			in order for men and women to be
		
01:12:00 --> 01:12:01
			equal.
		
01:12:01 --> 01:12:02
			What's
		
01:12:02 --> 01:12:03
			the second one?
		
01:12:09 --> 01:12:10
			Reproductive
		
01:12:13 --> 01:12:14
			rice. Reproductive rice.
		
01:12:16 --> 01:12:18
			I think, say that it comes under it,
		
01:12:18 --> 01:12:20
			but tell me if you disagree with me
		
01:12:20 --> 01:12:23
			on this. Right? Showing opposition to the traditional
		
01:12:23 --> 01:12:24
			role
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:27
			that a female has had throughout history.
		
01:12:27 --> 01:12:29
			Can we say this maybe a second pillar?
		
01:12:30 --> 01:12:32
			As strong as the first. And what you
		
01:12:32 --> 01:12:34
			mentioned will also come on the
		
01:12:34 --> 01:12:35
			concept of feminism.
		
01:12:36 --> 01:12:37
			She agrees with me.
		
01:12:39 --> 01:12:41
			To an extent. To an extent.
		
01:12:42 --> 01:12:42
			Senteet.
		
01:12:45 --> 01:12:47
			My brothers and my sisters, these are the
		
01:12:47 --> 01:12:48
			2 pillars. Right?
		
01:12:50 --> 01:12:51
			These are the 2 pillars.
		
01:12:54 --> 01:12:56
			If you wanna go into more specifics, my
		
01:12:56 --> 01:12:59
			brothers and my sisters, promotes 5050 male slash
		
01:12:59 --> 01:13:01
			female quotas for all elected
		
01:13:01 --> 01:13:03
			and appointed offices and occupations.
		
01:13:03 --> 01:13:06
			Ignores marriage and is hostile to the family
		
01:13:06 --> 01:13:09
			unit. Demands recognition of sexual and reproductive rights,
		
01:13:09 --> 01:13:12
			including the acceptance of homosexual lifestyles
		
01:13:12 --> 01:13:14
			and right to abortion on demand.
		
01:13:14 --> 01:13:16
			Offers no protection to
		
01:13:16 --> 01:13:19
			housewives or full time mothers. Discourages the choice
		
01:13:19 --> 01:13:21
			to care for one's own children.
		
01:13:21 --> 01:13:24
			Targets and I put this in quotation marks.
		
01:13:24 --> 01:13:24
			Fundamentalists.
		
01:13:26 --> 01:13:28
			Right? Call them fundamentalists.
		
01:13:28 --> 01:13:31
			Religions as a barrier to women's rights and
		
01:13:31 --> 01:13:32
			demands that religion to be reinterpreted.
		
01:13:34 --> 01:13:36
			See how problematic is in light of Islam.
		
01:13:36 --> 01:13:39
			Calls for religion to be reinterpreted.
		
01:13:40 --> 01:13:42
			Blames the problems of women on make, power,
		
01:13:42 --> 01:13:43
			and control.
		
01:13:44 --> 01:13:46
			There's a lot that can be said my
		
01:13:46 --> 01:13:47
			brothers and my sisters, but let me share
		
01:13:47 --> 01:13:48
			with you guys
		
01:13:49 --> 01:13:52
			this conversation that happened between Betty Friedan
		
01:13:52 --> 01:13:54
			and Simone de Beauvoir.
		
01:13:55 --> 01:13:55
			The 2
		
01:13:56 --> 01:13:59
			founding mothers of feminism. You got 1 in
		
01:13:59 --> 01:14:01
			France and you got the other in America.
		
01:14:01 --> 01:14:03
			So far my anyone want to disagree with
		
01:14:03 --> 01:14:04
			what I said?
		
01:14:05 --> 01:14:06
			Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, would you agree
		
01:14:06 --> 01:14:08
			that they are founding mothers of feminism?
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:11
			Come on.
		
01:14:14 --> 01:14:16
			But they could see that they were those
		
01:14:16 --> 01:14:18
			who inspired and enlightened and
		
01:14:25 --> 01:14:28
			No. Betty Friedan was interviewing Simone de Beauvoir
		
01:14:30 --> 01:14:32
			and she posed the question do you think
		
01:14:32 --> 01:14:34
			women should be given the choice now to
		
01:14:34 --> 01:14:35
			be housewives?'
		
01:14:36 --> 01:14:39
			Look at this answer of Simone de Beauvoir.
		
01:14:41 --> 01:14:43
			Her response was, no we don't.
		
01:14:44 --> 01:14:45
			We don't believe
		
01:14:45 --> 01:14:48
			that any woman should have this choice.
		
01:14:49 --> 01:14:51
			No woman should be authorized to stay at
		
01:14:51 --> 01:14:52
			home to raise her children.
		
01:14:53 --> 01:14:55
			Society should be totally different.
		
01:14:56 --> 01:14:57
			Women
		
01:14:57 --> 01:15:00
			should not have that choice precisely because
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:01
			And here's the key here.
		
01:15:02 --> 01:15:04
			Because if there is such a choice,
		
01:15:05 --> 01:15:07
			too many women will end up taking that
		
01:15:07 --> 01:15:08
			choice.
		
01:15:10 --> 01:15:11
			I'm quoting.
		
01:15:12 --> 01:15:14
			Awutaimy doesn't have his own views and opinions.
		
01:15:17 --> 01:15:19
			To even get a little bit more specific,
		
01:15:19 --> 01:15:20
			my brothers and my sisters,
		
01:15:20 --> 01:15:22
			I like this one. Have you guys heard
		
01:15:22 --> 01:15:23
			of the Daily Mail?
		
01:15:23 --> 01:15:24
			Yes. Wow.
		
01:15:25 --> 01:15:27
			Is that here in Canada as well?
		
01:15:27 --> 01:15:30
			Yes. Daily Mail is one of the worst
		
01:15:30 --> 01:15:32
			news outlets that you can find.
		
01:15:34 --> 01:15:36
			Daily Mail, my brothers and my sisters is
		
01:15:36 --> 01:15:38
			like maybe the Washington Post. I don't know
		
01:15:38 --> 01:15:39
			what you guys have in Canada
		
01:15:39 --> 01:15:41
			but one of the most mainstream
		
01:15:44 --> 01:15:47
			This poem my brothers and my sisters of
		
01:15:47 --> 01:15:47
			1,582
		
01:15:49 --> 01:15:51
			women aged 25 and over.
		
01:15:52 --> 01:15:54
			All of whom were in a relationship
		
01:15:54 --> 01:15:56
			and in full time employment.
		
01:15:57 --> 01:15:57
			62%
		
01:15:58 --> 01:16:00
			admitted they secretly wished to be
		
01:16:00 --> 01:16:03
			a housewife rather than have a career.
		
01:16:04 --> 01:16:07
			We're not done. There's dailymail article guys. It
		
01:16:07 --> 01:16:07
			titled
		
01:16:08 --> 01:16:09
			did the feminist
		
01:16:09 --> 01:16:11
			bend their bras for nothing?
		
01:16:14 --> 01:16:16
			Majority of British women would pick being a
		
01:16:16 --> 01:16:18
			housewife over having a career.
		
01:16:19 --> 01:16:20
			And in the stats I mentioned,
		
01:16:21 --> 01:16:21
			62%
		
01:16:22 --> 01:16:24
			admittedly secretly wished to be a housewife.
		
01:16:24 --> 01:16:26
			74% they felt pressure
		
01:16:27 --> 01:16:28
			from other women to be independent.
		
01:16:30 --> 01:16:31
			78%. 70 8?
		
01:16:32 --> 01:16:35
			They wouldn't mind being financially dependent on their
		
01:16:35 --> 01:16:36
			partner.
		
01:16:37 --> 01:16:38
			I'm not done yet, guys.
		
01:16:39 --> 01:16:41
			Simone de Beauvoir, she has a book called
		
01:16:42 --> 01:16:43
			'Second *.'
		
01:16:44 --> 01:16:44
			Another
		
01:16:45 --> 01:16:47
			pieces of work that she's put forth.
		
01:16:50 --> 01:16:51
			So look at
		
01:16:52 --> 01:16:53
			the kind of
		
01:16:54 --> 01:16:55
			rhetoric she uses
		
01:16:56 --> 01:16:58
			when referring to her superior,
		
01:16:58 --> 01:16:59
			Satre.
		
01:17:01 --> 01:17:02
			Satre guys, her superior.
		
01:17:03 --> 01:17:06
			Probably thinking this is what? This is a
		
01:17:06 --> 01:17:06
			woman
		
01:17:07 --> 01:17:08
			who wages war against the traditional,
		
01:17:09 --> 01:17:11
			right? Role of a woman.
		
01:17:11 --> 01:17:12
			Her being a housewife,
		
01:17:13 --> 01:17:14
			her being at home,
		
01:17:14 --> 01:17:16
			right, and being a mother and so on
		
01:17:16 --> 01:17:18
			and so forth. And then look how she
		
01:17:18 --> 01:17:18
			speaks.
		
01:17:20 --> 01:17:23
			So now she's preparing her new independent home
		
01:17:23 --> 01:17:23
			in Paris
		
01:17:24 --> 01:17:27
			and waiting for the return of Sathre from
		
01:17:27 --> 01:17:27
			Paris.
		
01:17:28 --> 01:17:29
			Does it sound like an independent woman or
		
01:17:29 --> 01:17:30
			a housewife?
		
01:17:32 --> 01:17:35
			New furniture is bought, the walls prepared, and
		
01:17:35 --> 01:17:37
			new clothes have been purchased.
		
01:17:39 --> 01:17:40
			Sounds like a woman that a lot of
		
01:17:40 --> 01:17:42
			you guys would be interested in.
		
01:17:44 --> 01:17:47
			Sartre hated family life and persuaded her to
		
01:17:47 --> 01:17:49
			write the book.
		
01:17:50 --> 01:17:51
			He called her
		
01:17:51 --> 01:17:53
			a mere housewife.
		
01:17:54 --> 01:17:55
			She says about herself and I quote,
		
01:17:56 --> 01:17:59
			I was furious with myself to have disappointed
		
01:17:59 --> 01:18:00
			him in this way.
		
01:18:01 --> 01:18:03
			Does that really sound like an independent woman?
		
01:18:04 --> 01:18:06
			And she is the one, right,
		
01:18:06 --> 01:18:08
			that destroyed so many households
		
01:18:08 --> 01:18:10
			because she wanted to inspire women,
		
01:18:11 --> 01:18:12
			right?
		
01:18:15 --> 01:18:17
			And then you ask yourself the question my
		
01:18:17 --> 01:18:19
			brothers and my sisters was intellectual second wave
		
01:18:19 --> 01:18:21
			feminism really created by a man?'
		
01:18:22 --> 01:18:23
			I'm not done guys.'
		
01:18:25 --> 01:18:27
			She says this about Satori.
		
01:18:28 --> 01:18:30
			He was indeed a true superior.
		
01:18:31 --> 01:18:34
			She says, I felt dominated by someone else
		
01:18:36 --> 01:18:38
			intellectually. Satre lived up to the man that
		
01:18:38 --> 01:18:41
			I had dreamt of or dreamt up at.
		
01:18:42 --> 01:18:45
			Right? I was simply not in his cross.
		
01:18:48 --> 01:18:50
			I detest my own reflection
		
01:18:50 --> 01:18:52
			if at least my thought had given birth
		
01:18:52 --> 01:18:53
			to a hill,
		
01:18:54 --> 01:18:55
			a rocket,
		
01:18:55 --> 01:18:57
			but know nothing has taken place.
		
01:18:58 --> 01:19:00
			I am astonished to realize how thoroughly
		
01:19:01 --> 01:19:02
			I have been cheated.
		
01:19:07 --> 01:19:09
			This is one of the founding mothers,
		
01:19:09 --> 01:19:10
			one of the
		
01:19:11 --> 01:19:13
			women who empowered,
		
01:19:14 --> 01:19:14
			enlightened
		
01:19:16 --> 01:19:17
			And this is what she's saying my brothers
		
01:19:17 --> 01:19:18
			and my sisters.
		
01:19:20 --> 01:19:21
			Actions speak louder than words,
		
01:19:23 --> 01:19:25
			Point number 5 was what?
		
01:19:27 --> 01:19:29
			Quran. Do they not reflect upon the Quran?
		
01:19:29 --> 01:19:30
			Had
		
01:19:30 --> 01:19:33
			it come from anyone other than Allah you
		
01:19:33 --> 01:19:34
			would find contradictions,
		
01:19:37 --> 01:19:39
			discrepancies, holes in the narrative which we find
		
01:19:39 --> 01:19:40
			my brothers and my sisters.
		
01:19:41 --> 01:19:42
			Read the Quran
		
01:19:43 --> 01:19:46
			and you will find your answers.
		
01:19:47 --> 01:19:49
			Stop relying on your intellect to do the
		
01:19:49 --> 01:19:52
			job for you. My brothers and my sisters,
		
01:19:53 --> 01:19:55
			can anyone hear that which is taking place
		
01:19:55 --> 01:19:56
			in the car park? Anyone here that has
		
01:19:56 --> 01:19:57
			that superpower?
		
01:19:58 --> 01:19:58
			Anyone?
		
01:19:59 --> 01:20:01
			So you've accepted that
		
01:20:03 --> 01:20:04
			your ears are limited,
		
01:20:04 --> 01:20:06
			you can't see that which is taking place,
		
01:20:06 --> 01:20:09
			your eyes are limited. Can anyone smell that
		
01:20:09 --> 01:20:10
			which is happening outside?
		
01:20:10 --> 01:20:12
			Or which is being cooked outside there's nothing
		
01:20:12 --> 01:20:14
			happening outside, it can be stopped,
		
01:20:14 --> 01:20:16
			right? Can anyone smell it? No.
		
01:20:17 --> 01:20:19
			You have accepted now that some of these
		
01:20:19 --> 01:20:21
			body parts are limited.
		
01:20:22 --> 01:20:24
			Why do you fail to understand
		
01:20:24 --> 01:20:27
			that your intellect is limited as well?
		
01:20:28 --> 01:20:30
			Are you brothers and sisters with me? No
		
01:20:30 --> 01:20:33
			matter how smart and intellectual and intelligent you
		
01:20:33 --> 01:20:35
			think you are, there is still what?
		
01:20:35 --> 01:20:37
			A deficiency that you carry
		
01:20:37 --> 01:20:40
			and you'll never be able to encompass everything.
		
01:20:41 --> 01:20:42
			This is why my brothers and my sisters
		
01:20:42 --> 01:20:44
			we are in need of an external entity
		
01:20:44 --> 01:20:45
			that is above everything,
		
01:20:47 --> 01:20:50
			right? That teaches us how to structure our
		
01:20:50 --> 01:20:51
			lives. Allah,
		
01:20:51 --> 01:20:52
			who knew
		
01:20:53 --> 01:20:55
			or who knows should I say,
		
01:20:55 --> 01:20:56
			right?
		
01:20:57 --> 01:21:00
			What is best for those that he created.
		
01:21:00 --> 01:21:02
			Just like if you were to now invent
		
01:21:02 --> 01:21:04
			a new phone, you would know the most
		
01:21:04 --> 01:21:05
			about it.
		
01:21:06 --> 01:21:08
			Allah has created us, he has created mankind,
		
01:21:09 --> 01:21:11
			right? He knows us so perfectly,
		
01:21:11 --> 01:21:12
			so greatly,
		
01:21:13 --> 01:21:16
			right? So just take from the one who
		
01:21:16 --> 01:21:17
			invented, the one who created.
		
01:21:18 --> 01:21:20
			Well done my brothers and my sisters.
		
01:21:21 --> 01:21:23
			I've gone well over a time.
		
01:21:23 --> 01:21:25
			I was only meant to be here 45
		
01:21:25 --> 01:21:25
			minutes.
		
01:21:26 --> 01:21:28
			I think it went over by another 45.
		
01:21:29 --> 01:21:30
			Right? Honestly,
		
01:21:30 --> 01:21:32
			it was so wonderful to have you guys
		
01:21:32 --> 01:21:34
			here. It's been an absolute pleasure.
		
01:21:48 --> 01:21:50
			By the way, clapping should only be for
		
01:21:50 --> 01:21:50
			women.
		
01:21:55 --> 01:21:56
			Clapping is only for women.
		
01:21:56 --> 01:21:57
			Right?
		
01:21:57 --> 01:21:59
			My brothers and my sisters, honestly, I say
		
01:21:59 --> 01:22:01
			this from the bottom of my heart. I
		
01:22:01 --> 01:22:03
			love you all for the sake of Allah.
		
01:22:03 --> 01:22:03
			Honestly,
		
01:22:04 --> 01:22:05
			the fact that you all came here, it
		
01:22:05 --> 01:22:08
			really showed that there's goodness in your heart.
		
01:22:08 --> 01:22:09
			Let me ask you guys a question. Is
		
01:22:09 --> 01:22:11
			this on camera? If you switch it off,
		
01:22:11 --> 01:22:12
			don't switch it off.
		
01:22:13 --> 01:22:13
			Right?
		
01:22:14 --> 01:22:16
			Have I incited violence?
		
01:22:16 --> 01:22:18
			No. Say it louder.
		
01:22:18 --> 01:22:20
			No. Have I incited hatred?
		
01:22:21 --> 01:22:23
			No. Have I just quoted?
		
01:22:24 --> 01:22:24
			Yes.
		
01:22:24 --> 01:22:26
			Yes. I will tell you that he has
		
01:22:26 --> 01:22:26
			his own views
		
01:22:27 --> 01:22:28
			and opinions.
		
01:22:28 --> 01:22:30
			I just come and I quote Simone de
		
01:22:30 --> 01:22:32
			Beauvoir and Betty Friedan and I leave. That's
		
01:22:32 --> 01:22:34
			what I do. Right? I'm just here my
		
01:22:34 --> 01:22:37
			brothers and my sisters to enlighten you all
		
01:22:37 --> 01:22:39
			about Allah Azzawajal is messiah salallahu alaihi wa
		
01:22:39 --> 01:22:39
			sallam said.
		
01:22:40 --> 01:22:42
			Right? And then, that's when I leave.
		
01:22:42 --> 01:22:44
			The fact that you came honestly, guys, it
		
01:22:44 --> 01:22:46
			shows that there's goodness in your heart. Every
		
01:22:46 --> 01:22:48
			single one of you. And I know you
		
01:22:48 --> 01:22:50
			are different stages of your
		
01:22:50 --> 01:22:53
			pursuit of your journey. I ask Allah to
		
01:22:53 --> 01:22:54
			make you the best of the Muslims.
		
01:22:55 --> 01:22:57
			And if you're not a Muslim, Allah guides
		
01:22:57 --> 01:22:59
			you to that which is correct. Ameen.
		
01:22:59 --> 01:23:02
			Hazakulullah Khayram. Honestly, it's been a pleasure. I'll
		
01:23:02 --> 01:23:03
			see you guys at Masir Rashid.
		
01:23:04 --> 01:23:05
			We will do a lecture
		
01:23:08 --> 01:23:09
			We will do a lecture
		
01:23:10 --> 01:23:11
			on the interaction
		
01:23:12 --> 01:23:14
			that Yusuf had with the wife of Al
		
01:23:14 --> 01:23:15
			Aziz
		
01:23:15 --> 01:23:17
			when she went crazy over him.
		
01:23:27 --> 01:23:29
			We'll speak about it over there. InshaAllah, Assalamu
		
01:23:31 --> 01:23:31
			alaikum.
