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.
