00:00:00 --> 00:00:00 
			There's a question,
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 
			what should an understanding be when some someone
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 
			criticizes the mosque of being
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08 
			converted into churches
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 
			and counter someone who mentions that Muslim
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14 
			did the same
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17 
			to Hagia Sophia Thomas. First thing is one
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 
			should only listen to people who know what
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 
			they're talking about. Right? That's part from the
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 
			excellence of persons, Islamist believe all that does
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25 
			not concern them.
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 
			And be avid for what is of benefit.
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 
			Chatter is not of benefit. There's all these
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 
			people put these Twitter threads, interesting fact about
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37 
			this and that, and who is the person
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 
			talking? Have do you know? Is this a
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39 
			person
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40 
			of knowledge?
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44 
			Is this a person who's upright and reliable?
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45 
			No.
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 
			Hagia Sophia
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 
			was translate was translated was turned into a
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51 
			mosque
00:00:52 --> 00:00:52 
			by
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53 
			a legal
00:00:55 --> 00:00:55 
			sale
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56 
			without coercion.
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58 
			That
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 
			that land and building was sold
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04 
			to Sultan Mohammed Fati himself
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 
			through a properly witnessed willful
00:01:08 --> 00:01:08 
			sale.
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 
			And then it was converted into
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 
			an endowment by Sultan Mohammed Fati. It was
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18 
			not course ofly taken. Now secondly, there are
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 
			rules related
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21 
			to jihad
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 
			and
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 
			what happens to property in jihad. There are
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 
			also rules related to what happens if Muslims
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 
			take over.
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 
			Right? If Muslims
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 
			take over or non Muslims take over a
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37 
			Muslim property. So anything that wants to
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39 
			research,
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 
			right, or learn about, seek
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 
			reliable sources. Don't just seek
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 
			commentators and others. Things that relate to matters
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50 
			of right and wrong. We see what do
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 
			the learned scholars say about this.
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 
			Not Muslim political commentators,
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58 
			journalists,
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 
			etcetera. Because all kinds of,
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02 
			unclear
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04 
			things are stated.
