			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. How are you guys doing? In the sessions that we have just
completed, we did a mini series about some of the modern trends in Islam. We started actually, with
some Calum type topics we spoke about earlier been Tamia, and these kinds of things, and then we
move to some of the modern trends. Now, we're going to be talking about some of the Shovelhead. Now
this is the final thing we're going to be doing right before we started the intellectual Syrah on
the on January Inshallah, so this is going to be about six lessons altogether. And we're going to
cover some things which we've already covered before, but because of the importance of these topics,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:02
			and the the repetitive nature of us, either hearing these topics or dealing with them, we're going
to be covering some of them again, and some other should, we'll have topics in some greater detail
that we haven't before. The first thing we're going to be looking at today is jihad,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:20
			which, of course, is something I think we've covered before, but this time, we have to cover it with
a bit more participation because I've spoken a lot, you know, and in the past. So the first question
I want to ask is, what is jihad and what are the different types of jihad?
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:45
			Is it to strive and struggle? Great, so there's a linguistic definition and then there is a call a
terminological definition. Okay, and this subdivision of linguistic and terminological definition is
something we need to get used to this a lot and was to learn the terminology and it was so you've
mentioned correct it is the linguistic definition.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:56
			And this linguistic definition is in the Quran for example in the end of subtle and carboot the end
part of the 29th chapter
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			was imagery I had no idea no
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:03
			idea no
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			idea how to Fina right at the end the home
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:50
			Solana Latina well Latina right Well Linda do fina then Lana the end the home Solana. Right, and the
ones who have strived in our way. So this takes more of the linguistic you know, because Jahad fina
so they have strived in a way this is the kind of translation you're going to find for this
particular verse in the Quran. So certainly, it's not a wrong thing to say because many people think
this is us being apologetic by saying that Jihad means striving to struggle it's not actually still
linguistic term you know is what it means and there is different types of jihad and one of the
Jihads is in fact Jihad enough's what is jihad on nefs for calm
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			you heard the one.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:02
			So, basically, I will describe me trying to improve become better Muslim
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:24
			praying on time. So, something that you find with your own knifes to become Yeah, so the next
absolutely is a good answer is that this is the self or the soul or the self or whatever how you
translate it and you had enough says basically you kind of fighting against yourself for lack of a
better term
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:32
			but doing so in the spirit of self spiritual self improvement and what are the ways you can do just
enough so
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			so become even more spiritual? How so?
		
00:03:51 --> 00:04:16
			Praying for instance, okay, brilliant. That's an excellent way of putting it as a problem as I sort
of said in MLL with Tom will help with the hello and I think there's a hadith says sub sample which
basically I was looking into this hadith very beautiful and interesting Hadith in them and I would
tell them that learning you know, it comes from you exerting yourself to extract knowledge
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			or
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:32
			acquiring knowledge is from from doing the process of actually extracting the knowledge and Helmus
forbearance is how they translate * right? Why includes it includes having self control
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:49
			in situations where it's difficult to do so. It also includes being kind and so on for your people
that you that you might not want, find it easy to do. So does help a bit. Hello. So you need to be a
practitioner of health.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:05:00
			In other words, the best way to improve yourself is by doing the activity sub two sub ball, that to
be patient. You have to put yourself
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			one situation
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			where you are
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			afflicted by something, and then you overcome it.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			But you know, and this is a beautiful thing, I'll tell you something I was looking at actually.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			In psychology, many of you have had PTSD,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			post traumatic stress disorder.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:35
			And actually, I was reading a book some time ago by some guy called Vander Kolk. And the book was
called the body keeps score. And he was an individual who actually pioneered the diagnosis of PTSD.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:46
			And was people that came off to war, I think it was the Vietnam War, the Second World War, where
they came to a center, and he was explaining in the book, like how, you know, he put together these
kinds of
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:01
			general diagnoses which then he could identify people had PTSD. And PTSD is where a trauma in your
life has caused you to kind of revisit that trauma. And he gives very interesting kind of
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:50
			examples, he was saying, like when he gives participants the chance to recall an event, if it's an
event which is traumatic, they are more likely to remember and recall all the particulars of that
event. Whereas if it's an event, which is not so then the memory of it is less vivid. So these are
some of the things of PTSD, obviously, nightmares, scares, panic attack, all that stuff, is become a
formal diagnosis. But there's another thing which is very interesting, which is less spoken about,
which is called PT G, which is referred to as post traumatic growth, which in many ways to crudely
put it is the opposite of PTSD is where a calamity of in life or in such as you know, has put you in
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:28
			a position which has improved. You look in the world in a different way now because of the calamity.
And I was speaking with my uncle, when I went to Egypt, Alexandria. I think that's all some of you
guys this and he he had this very, my, my maternal uncle, he had a very traumatic experience where
he was living in a in an apartment flat, and his wife was there, the kids were their kids. And then
the building fell and they all died, his wife and kids died. And then he has another child. Aussies,
my cousins long time ago, had another child living in another country and she died from natural
causes. And then sometime after that his mum died.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			You know, so I speaking to him and the way he speaks,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			it is absolutely
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:00
			renewed. He goes I don't look at the world in a different way. I completely look at the world in a
different way now. Because these cars moving here completely acid house so I said every second I
consider it to be extra time, bonus time. Like it's different when you live through a situation like
that. But when you come out with this summer I was free of post traumatic growth. These are the
kinds of things which which
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:45
			has a spiritual and psychological lasting impact. There's a beautiful verse in the Quran. In surah
Al Hajj Allah passes in Gascon. Correct me when the nurse may Yeah, I would like to have in Asaba to
Hyrule in Sabah, who fire hydrant maybe when a samba to fit net on in Calabar. Alhaji Casilla
Daniela Hara there are some people who worship along the edge literally on the edge. If something
happens to him which is like good, he's happy with it my neighbor when I saw but to fitna tone and
color allergy and fitna or a trauma, trauma afflict him, he falls on his face hospital, Daniel
ACARA, he loses the world and era hereafter. So I'm not saying you can't have post traumatic stress
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:51
			disorder as a Muslim, I'm saying if it reaches the level of Yes. And which is hopelessness, this is
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:06
			actually because so many so many Rohilla Hallo como Catherine. Quran says that whoever who will be
the one who has hopelessness of the mercy of God, except for the disbelievers,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:48
			interestingly, is not something that is mentioned in slavery. Now, what will happen is that, you
know, the 10 is that, you know, I put that you shouldn't do this, you know, if you lose hope of the
Mercy of Allah, then then you can become a disbeliever, actually, because it's what Yaqoob was
saying, and he was the figurehead of patients, to his son, Yusuf Ali Salaam. So, or generally about
the situation that he was in the point is making is gentle enough should not be underestimated. I
think we know that. The claim was really he was talking about jazz, and that's quite a length
actually. It's not something which We're retreating. When we talk about Jihad neffs or self jihad,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			whatever, is not something which Shani
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			is fake or something which is PC or politically correct or so. It's something we should actually
focus on the spiritual side of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:11
			Religion. So because we were talking about jihad, and if we speak about fighting for this whole
session, they may give the wrong impression, which is that the only fighting that has to be done is
against people not against ourselves.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			And there is jihad against itself and as a jihad against the devil shaytaan.
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:28
			There's jihad against all of this forces, which we believe metaphysical forces spiritual forces as
well. Now that we've put that on the table, what other types of jihad is there? What are the Taksim
at the focal hop put forward?
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:34
			Why whatever categorizations are there obvious in the physical one?
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			Within the physical one, what what are the
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:46
			categories? Defensive and proactive? Beautiful? Okay, so can you give us some understanding of that?
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:53
			Well, defensive would be defending yourself and your community from outsiders,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			or antagonists and then proactive would be proactively
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:06
			attacking somebody force. Legitimate Cherie Cherie reason surrealism? And give us some examples in
history where both of those things happened.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:15
			Right. The Battle of history, for example, sorry, in Islamic history. Yeah, the Battle of Badr would
be a case for a defensive one.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			With the Battle of Mota, right, which was the offensive,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:12:01
			it was more of a raid, right. Yeah, I mean, you can make the argument that because if you look at
the the reasons why the to happen, like the emissary was sent, and then it was killed and these kind
of things there was kind of it was responsive. But certainly like Fatima cow was expansive, and all
those, you know, these things that came after, like, her name was so was proactive, right? So, you
know, is adjuvants come? castrato? You know, when you a lot of people? Well, Dr. Robert, Robert, you
know, the earth swallowed you because of ways. So this was a time when the Muslims were a lot, you
know, and spending now. And it happened that time of the Prophet. And the majority of the prophets,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:11
			conflicts are word defense for practice. And his time, the majority were defensive, though, would
that's not to say there was no proactive ones. We've seen the vast majority were defensive. Yeah.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:13
			Now
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			let's move on to the next to the next slide.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:29
			Now, if someone says well, if your religion has to have an expansionist element,
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:40
			so then therefore there is no situation or conceivability of peace being made between Muslims and
non Muslims, how would you respond to that?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:13
			So like people who are Jews or Christians, maybe even other religions, that could live within
Islamic State, so Okay, so that's within the Islamic State? You're right. So now you got the Islamic
State inside of it, and then you've got Ella Zima. Then why had the misstep mean all these people,
likewise, they have a contract? It doesn't we're not going to enforce conversion or do believe
enforce conversion? Or what's the ion sort of Bukhara, Lovecraft Dean? Dean. So there's no
compulsion in religion. So it's not possible to compel other people or force them to join Islam.
Okay, now, so what about
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			if we're living in the modern age?
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:25
			If we look at the books of fuck now, they still speak about Jihad talab some of them say it has to
be done every year.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			Like, Tom has to be done every year.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:14:00
			So in the modern world, how do we navigate this reality? If it has to be every year? Then someone
brings it to you says, look, he says in your book, that has to be done. You have to Tom has to be
there every year. or every other year, every whatever. Yeah. So how would you respond to that in the
light of the Quran, sunnah, and the fact that we've gone through before? So there's, like certain
stipulations to do you have to follow. So you have to meet certain criteria to to do that. And the
current Muslim situation does another.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:12
			Excellent. So that's one way of looking at it. But even if we had the fully fledged Islamic
governance, which was fully legitimate, is it within its power? shakin, too
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:18
			on on other grounds, and what kinds of grounds would there be to create some kind of tree
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:27
			so if you have treaties in place, or agreements with other states or other policies, then it
wouldn't be allowed for you to be treacherous.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:55
			alphabeta record solids made that you have to maintain your your treaties or covenants with other
peoples. And it would actually be you could actually argue that in many situations, it could be in
the interest of the Muslims to have those treaties or covenants in place and soften that process and
ended at certain times for strategic reasons. But it's very feasible. Beautiful. So Elphaba Lockwood
means what has to be faithful to your contracts or your agreements is that general
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			as for Muslims or non Muslims, for Muslims or non Muslims?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:16
			Okay, so now I've got a question. And this may be a bit of a for you a shocker. In the Quran, why is
the only exception that maybe I'm seeing the only book one of the only I should say, or give me an
example of a Quranic exception of where you shouldn't fulfill your contract? This might be a
difficult question
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			Well, you shouldn't fulfill your contract. Yeah.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			Since October,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:31
			I'm gonna give you Okay, everyone can get involved. I'm not gonna give you any
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			are we considering situations where the other side has already broken the contract first? Okay,
what's the
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:45
			first episode of Tober Bala to me Allah He was fully okay, that could be but there's something more
clear. I'm thinking about
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:58
			if they if they started walking by the open water model, there's something more clear than this,
about breaking the contracts about where you're where you shouldn't fulfill the contract
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:09
			while I'm thinking about is when Nikka through a man him
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:30
			Amen. Oh my god, it him we're kind of identical because we have this is a situation where you
shouldn't fulfill a contract. Because it says if they if they break their contract, in the case of a
man whom mean badly it him after they have made a contract with you or time off, he didn't come and
they have attacked your religion now, for Cogito
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:37
			then fight the leaders of this belief. So contracts are two way situations.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			You know, they it's not just one way it's two ways.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:54
			I mean, if they break it, there's no contract anymore. If there's any, you can't make a contract. So
they break and then they say, Well, why are you doing X, which we agreed to because you already
broken the contract. There is no contract normal.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:00
			The situation in Medina when the the people left
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			the battlefield, and they had a contract to
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:50
			you know, when they were when they've actually left the battlefield headquarters, that quarter of
the army left, and they broke the contract there. And then, which one was talking about, which I
think is the first one? Yeah. Where they literally left the battlefield because the Prophet didn't
listen to their counsel, one of them offered offered ESRs I wouldn't say that's a contract issue. I
think that's more of a thigh issue, like an obedience issue, okay. Because you know, what one
waffleh hamartia was when Phil Allah says he gives the process alone advice for how to deal with
them, face is full of, you know, proposing them, forgive them and seek their counsel in the affair.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:59
			You know, either as empty Fatah Allah, and when you have made up your mind on the issue, then have
reliance on God, and so on.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:13
			So this is how contracts work in Islam. And this is I've mentioned this before, I feel this is a
very good point of commonality between liberal theory in Islam. Because consent and contract work in
both
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			kind of worldviews.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:25
			consent and contracts are very important to wealth. So this makes it possible for there to be
business and so on.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:44
			There's three ideas, which I think everyone should know. And I've mentioned this, I think to you
guys before, but this is important for us too. Because this comes up all the time. What advice would
you bring to the table? If I were to say listen, Islam is a religion, which cannot get along with
other people of other faiths? What ideas would you bring?
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			Say Tata? What would you say?
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:59
			Well, I know that if we're living in we have to obey the rules.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:07
			Even if they're non Muslim, as I don't know if that's relevant at all, so we can we can
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			I'm sorry.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:13
			No worries.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:31
			Think about the as in the Quran, which which one can think about to exhibit coexistence that we
don't want to combat the order like any say for example, in non Muslim person that we don't have to
have an adversarial relationship with them.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			struck a chord
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:59
			and one last anatomy that we natty that you can wander off and that's one of the notes that you can
marry the did you in the Christian? What would you be trying to prove with that? Well, you know,
it's a bit I guess, impractical with. On one hand, I guess somebody someone says you're supposed to
kill all Muslims out, right. But then on the other hand, you're marrying them. It's like, they'll
say that's the exception to the rule.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			salmons is hot.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			I'm just thinking
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:16
			you have to kill all of them except the ones that you marry. Yeah. And until once you take slaves as
well. I'm just playing devil's advocate. Yeah. How would you respond to this line how Kamala who and
Adina. Okay, now go to the these are the ones.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			This is these are the ones right? So this is chapter 60, verse eight.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			This is the one that you will learn, Hey, come on, isn't that what
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:32
			do let me read your committee recommendable rule. This is the one bringing it because this is a good
idea, like for this kind of purpose. chapter six, verse
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			eight,
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			that Allah doesn't, how would you translate this?
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40
			Allah is not forbidding you in relation to those who don't.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:45
			Those who don't fight you in your religion or kick you out of your homes
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			from being
		
00:20:48 --> 00:21:06
			kind and cordial, and just with them, okay, who does Allah forbid you then in the main outcome a
lot, and you're gonna have to look into the industry to do those things. So those who fight your new
religion, they come they kick you out of your homes, or the Hawala illogical and they like come
together aiding and assisting each other in
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			expelling you from your homes.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:16
			That way you do want to continue that, how's it going? I will need to move on anyone else you call?
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			That you cannot be allies with?
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:34
			Those individuals? Yeah. And whoever does so is, I think as long as I'm saying, you know,
transgressors, all the evil oppressors or unjust ones. So
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:43
			Allah is telling us two things, who we should have cordial relationships with and who we shouldn't.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:53
			I was speaking to one guy before, who told me about his situation with some takfiri groups.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			Some some like, you know,
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:02
			extremist groups or something like radical. And he was saying
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:12
			that he was saying to them, you know, this hadith and Buhari were where the woman gets punished,
because she's torturing the cat.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:22
			And he said to him, like, what do you think of this hadith? He said, Yeah, shows you is haram to
torture cat. He goes, What do you think of torturing the disbelievers?
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			He said that you know, is different.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:44
			So this guy who was responding apparently like this is a chain of he was like, If Islam is a
religion, which he doesn't even allow you to Hamid an animal, how could it be a religion which
allows you to harm human beings, and animals and children and these kinds of things.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:02
			And this is goes back to the Hadith, which many of you should know the first Hadith they teach you
in this kind of Hadith studies and they say, Hey, would you call them old Mustafa house carnivores?
It's like Musa said, Oh, well, yeah, not most of us. It's a different one.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:10
			Because it humble, mindful of the humko Memphis. Have mercy to those who are on the earth and the
one who's in the heaven will have mercy on you.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:18
			And men is a father is one of the general terms. So the general rule is actually to have mercy to
people.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:24
			And so, for example, Allah sunnah Quran, mahalo leanness Johanna and say good things to people.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:44
			You know, so it's this idea that there's an initial adversary ality or there's an initial emnity or
there's an initial antagonism or initial whatever. This is not really the spirit or the letter of
Islamic law. Because there's Islamically this initial mercy
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:51
			you know, there's initial safety and mercy and and then after that, whatever happens happens through
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			instrumentality or exception
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:08
			by it's not the initial state of this not what we want in the situation. Best case situation. So if
you had happens, it happens as a result of either defending the territory or freeing up new land.
That's basically
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			what other examples would you give for
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:22
			chapter 489 Okay, and if you remember the contents of that
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			it was really Yeah, please do not
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			go through
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:34
			the corner. It's not one Yeah, but there's a bit in the middle of it
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			in the legend, Barcelona,
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:53
			Barcelona, so a common webinar Colombina homie second Gen Con.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			For 90 Is that right? Yeah, yeah.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			So, from what
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			I was
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			so they immigrated to become
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:32
			except for the ones who are a little Lavinia Soluna Illa Coleman Kobina can Verbena homie second I
will come hassle to the room
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			except for those that have a pact with you, they have to
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			keep going
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			things are highest punish on interested. Okay.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			No poet novelist biannual
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			No problemo posttraumatic.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			Maybe
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			mas was
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			498
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:40
			it first talks about who we can fight and then it talks about the exception and mentioned that
exceptions are those who are allies, allies of other people, you're bound within a treaty of those
wholeheartedly opposed to fighting? Either you or the own people. Okay, and why is this a joke, the
ones who came to you, sorry, it continues as
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:54
			if Allah had willed, He would have empowered them to fight you. So if they refrain from fighting you
and offer up and Allah doesn't permit you to handle. So it's very clear isn't, this is not abrogates
from my understanding.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:06
			So these are good as to just bring, because this idea of an impossible coexistence is defined by
these kinds of Hadith. And as.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			Okay, so we need to make sure that we
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:24
			we bring that I think another line of argumentation is to show how many people have been killed by a
civilization. Now there is a book which I have here, we're just going to sign up and get it
actually.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:35
			I mentioned this, I think before and I want you guys to is this an interesting way of making the
argument. And I know, we've covered this before, but repetition sometimes is important.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			This is a book of war and peace in Islam. Yeah.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			And this guy is Nazir, che,
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:48
			he, he has these findings,
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50
			which
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:03
			he goes through like definitions, what he defines as well, civilization. So he puts all these
different civilizations, he does, you know, and this is what he's got here.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:43
			This is the ranking. He's got. Number one, he's got the anti theists, the Buddhists, the Christian,
the Indic. And the Islamic Yeah. And what he's showing is that the minimum desktop, maximum desktop,
immediate desktop, for example, the anti theists, they've got the highest if the if they're
considered the civilization, he puts as my 5 million minimum to 150 to maximum, right, he's got his
own methodology, you can read it in your own time, but I'm just giving you an example. Then you got
the Buddhist now people don't associate war and death with Buddhism for some reason, even though we
have what we have with the Baba was going on by Monday ringers in recent in contemporary times.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:52
			For some reason, Buddhism was seen as the religion of the true religion of peace or something, even
though the death tolls and the wars
		
00:28:53 --> 00:29:09
			indicate to us that that's not the case. And here, Christian, or Christian civilization, or at least
in practice, there has been war from the Christian civilizations in third place, 100 and 19 million
to 236 million.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:29
			This is the range, then you have the Indic, you know, and then you have the Islamic. So even if you
look at it from the perspective of death, toll numbers, and we just take a look at 20 century is by
far all you have to remember is the 20th century is by far the most
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:37
			many people that have been killed in any wars that have ever taken place. The 20th century World War
One World War Two, remember that it's not these are not Islamic.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			If you just remember this fact,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			it's almost insulting
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:55
			that people who come from civilizations like these speak to us as if they have the keys and we have
you know, they can give us a lesson about this kind of thing.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			Obviously, you saw me speak about this with Jordan Peterson
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:12
			And as you can see, like he had to admit, you know, his positioning and so it's not it's this
undisputable. You can't actually dispute these evidences in these points. So just remember that
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:21
			how else would you argue your point? Let's see is open up to the floor? Maybe How would you so what
else Now let's imagine I am I'm gonna play devil's advocate for a little bit.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:30
			And Atheists say look, your religion is a religion of hate. And it does not encourage coexistence as
a religion of bloodshed. And
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			you guys need to modernize
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:35
			actually
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37
			the pursuit of gain if
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			Yeah, now how would you now I'm putting this to you how would you respond to this?
		
00:30:45 --> 00:31:11
			Now that I'm finished, and we'll come to the second year design just want to go for 90 minutes.
Yeah, man Katella knifes and the lighting I've seen for certainly film Kanima cotton nessa Jamia
beautiful Okay, so the five versus a four Yeah, yeah. So you're saying like how would you translate
this first mover kill someone Mongolian if somebody like without Yanni the right
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:20
			like to do so. So they haven't killed? Somebody? Yeah, so like a noncombatant? Yeah.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			Well, it's corruption in
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			the field as if they've killed the entirety of mankind so
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:46
			I think there's just like no evidence to show that Islam isn't what the same Okay, beautiful. Now
you say for contact me so I'm come with the same interrogation. How would you respond to? I will
say, so you say you said that
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			we Muslims
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:58
			are here to kill everybody. That's what our median teaches us. So I will say if that's the case,
then we did a very poor job of being
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:04
			not only not only recent years, but throughout history
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:09
			we've been then we will be soft with the rest of
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:12
			rest of humanity
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:20
			find what you're talking about don't deny the fact that they were your religion was there to
initially instruct you to kill the people
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:27
			initially, initially, so that so there was the at least that was what will happen after
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:31
			I don't know you tell me I mean, so you don't deny this? Yeah.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:34
			Yeah, deny but my point is
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:45
			implausible deniability. So you're basically saying that we, we used to be Muslims, and then we
stopped when Muslims. So are you saying?
		
00:32:47 --> 00:33:04
			I'm saying I'm saying that, you know, your religion instructs people to kill innocent bystanders.
But what the main standards, my religion instructed me to kill, and then it stops instructing me to
kill people. So Yeah, same. That's why my claim,
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:08
			I think it was, my religion was quite
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:13
			consistent on the
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17
			teachings. Aquinas was wearing
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:24
			her crown. Okay, we have to be more specific. Okay. So next time be more specific. Now she'll tell
you.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			Why. Sorry.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:29
			I don't see
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			why. Now, it's your turn. So I say, Look,
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:53
			you have a hadith that says, like I did to convince them, I've come to you with slaughter. And you
have another Hadith that says that, you know, over to no cattle and nests, I've been commanded to
kill the people until they say Ash has never shown us all. This and this indicate that your religion
is
		
00:33:54 --> 00:34:15
			clearly intolerant, and is trying to kill people that are non combatants. Yeah, I would say, if you
take individual pieces of evidence like this out of context, especially, we could construct anything
out of that we want to so the wise thing to do, or the academic thing to do would be to take the
evidence as a whole
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:30
			which our scholars have done and see what the region in what see what the region says, when you take
a holistic so what I mean by I've been commanded to kill the people until isolation until there's a
shadow layer shadow, so
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:35
			not only he's not gonna help you, I forgot the context of it. So you forgot Okay.
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:59
			Exactly. Hold on a second. But you're not miss consensus, that we were not allowed to kill innocent
civilians, regardless of so your consensus goes overrides the Hadith declare Hadith. That must be in
a different context. Then. Also, what is that context? I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure the
scholars who came to consensus knew it. So Matthew, what do you think the concern
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:26
			What do you think is the Hadith in context of the Quran? So, the ayah that I mentioned. So if you
have the Hadith and the IO, the IR has a higher weight of epistemic weight than that hadith. So here
the first is just to kill nominal just accept the Hadith. If we accept both are you how'd you see
this one is specific. I have the Hadith Rosa Salam and the other one is John. That's it, which one's
general Daya
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:36
			but he says almost no haughtiness I've been Hamada doesn't mean everyone doesn't mean I'm a father I
was elephant lamb Salafi? Yes
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:50
			This present is very clever. And we take in context of the IR and had the full never contradict what
the IR or here's you got a general decent general idea and they seem to be contradict
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			that added flambeaux
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:57
			Should we do with a chakra? How do we how do we deal with this?
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:02
			The Hadith also anakata nurse
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			a nurse like
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:20
			you're saying that it means every single human being I'm saying yes. Was including design including
this as you have is including Muslims. I see that's that's good. They have you know, who argued on
this basis because I heard it from Abu was HOCl whiny
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:26
			he actually was doing shall have this hadith Yeah, he's a scholar of Hadith in Egypt.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:36
			And he says if we took the Hadith to be in a very clear way because I have been commanded to kill
the people that will include Muslims as well so it couldn't be accepted like this.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:58
			That's what he was saying. And he said that so therefore it's a general is bias will either be house
or source which is like you know, a while what is that mean? So, especially with with a nurse like
you can have, generally speaking Anyways, if you have general terms, they you can use a general
terminal Arabic by intent by it's something specific.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:08
			That's indicated by it. So even with the word nurse, for example, let's say in Surah, Nisa, um,
yeah, so doing a nurse Salama, Jehovah, probably, some of them say that that refers to the pore
size.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:14
			With a nurse, yeah, in Milan, gone, sorta.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:24
			I can see on the page was, is is designed here with a feed Allahu aminu camera and a nurse not this
one. Could you use that? No.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:30
			What other people have come against us is the one Yeah, so is there?
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:43
			Yeah, you gotta call them on as soon as you can. Okay, so hey, what's the what are you saying? That
if I remember correctly, I think it was referring to two people from
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:48
			NASA NASA
		
00:37:52 --> 00:38:09
			says the Confederates are welcome. It's not well, it's not all the people. It's just a group of
people. Yeah. So this is this is an example of a specific group of people. Yeah. So it's an example
of general wording intended for specific meaning. But I put that out there because it was a
difficult one. I want to see how you guys are gonna deal with it. Yeah. Sorry.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			Not for Muslims.
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:20
			The prophecies and kill everybody, every non Muslim. Good point. Excellent. Good point. Hidden
practices on? Yeah.
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:24
			That's a good, that's a good piece of evidence. So it couldn't mean that good.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:29
			What if I say now for can you know, this is a very
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:34
			common interrogation, chapter 929.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:51
			Cardiology, right, you've known a biller Nebula, William laka. You know, that fight, the ones who do
not believe in Allah and the Last Day, from the people who have been given the Kitab from the people
who have been given that the you know, the People's book,
		
00:38:52 --> 00:39:00
			you know, until they give the jizya in a subordinate fashion, and they are subservient or
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:17
			how it's clear, isn't it? They're saying you have to keep fighting fight in the Christians and Jews
until they give Jizya so it's compelling them to give just yet this is shows you clearly that it's
about, quote, forcing people to become Muslim.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:21
			Or would you say to someone like that? Isn't it easier for
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:32
			for non Christians Jews living in Muslim land? Yes. So I'm guessing if that's compulsory
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:39
			power of the Muslim country, so if you want to live in this country, you need to pay this
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:44
			tax Jizya Okay, and someone refuses to do so.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			I guess these consequences.
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:54
			Yes, but why do you have to fight them to get them to pay that? What do you do then? You expel them?
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:58
			Yeah, I think you're onto something. Well, you can refine this
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:05
			because you're a bit too non apologetic here, I think, is to give them some level of just.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:07
			Okay?
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			I'm asking you like, if they
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:18
			if they don't pay, then
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:46
			I mean, this needs to be away. Yeah, nobody's saying you have to fight them first thing, get them to
pay off what's going on you had taxes until they fit until we get the disease. So clearly they
haven't given the fight until they do it. So I'm guessing the context is when Muslims, we're still
fighting with the with the the non believers. So Christian guessing you're meant to be the one
asking you so do you know this? Or do you not know this? You asking a layperson?
		
00:40:54 --> 00:41:33
			Okay, okay, nobody on the right tracks. I mean, especially with this thing of Jizya being like
compulsory Texas, Jersey has not what I don't see actually, I actually don't see the controversy in
Jersey at all. I fail to see the controversy. And they call it a sec, I remember in, in, in
university, when the one person was saying you have a discriminatory tax called the jizya. I said,
What is discriminatory about exactly what's problem with it? What's your issue with the jizya says,
Why is it that the Muslims get to pays a cat and the cat is more, you pay more? In some cases, the
person has to pay much more than I was reading your Hodges has hovered an hour or an hour or
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:50
			something. The the amount of money is like if you have the cattle in Maryland to get this one and
Zara and this and the plantations and you might be paying a lot more for cabling that anyone who
even does Yeah, so it's not even about more money. It's not more money necessarily. That's not what
it's about. So what is the issue here?
		
00:41:51 --> 00:42:08
			So that's I like that line of argumentation. It's just the name name difference. Zakah is like has
purification connotations are also exempted from a lot of things. They don't have to fight. Do they
know the war? The people who pay Jizya they don't have to fight?
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			Yeah, they have to fight Yeah.
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:27
			Subhanallah you know, don't betray the Muslim community and stuff like that. But as as we've said,
this, it's not really that problematic. I liked that part of it. Stuck here. And this could make it
but this How would you assess the first part 99.
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:49
			As in, we're not going out. To enforce this on people. This is just like, if we have a battle
between each other, who's out and about who, like if they're coming and they're attacking us. And
we're defending ourselves. If there's a war, it's the time of war. So now we're going out in
context. Okay, so how do we know this is not talking about civilians?
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:56
			Call To * okay, go tell me more about that. So it's just like, any, like,
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:28
			I just press it and you just with another person, so it's reciprocal. Reciprocal? How do we know
it's reciprocal? Because it's with the elephant the mural so far is like none mashallah can say is
like for both doing the same thing. So this is fine not kills. Religion, I'm gonna be let's not kill
them. It's fine. Yeah. So it must be fight. It cannot fight people that are not fighting you back.
So it must be combatant. So even in the term caught Cthulhu there is an implied
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:35
			imputation which is that actually this is already reciprocal battle going on? Yeah.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:43
			Okay, well, these are some of the things. I'm going to bring two more things just to come back for
con.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:48
			But we showed this one they don't say anything ridiculous, because it's a very controversial topic.
		
00:43:50 --> 00:44:14
			What if I say, Well, if your profits are Salam was so peaceful and so merciful, then what about the
Jewish tribes have been cut over? That he oversaw the slaughter of 600 Jewish people in the tribe?
And he in fact, encouraged or legitimized it or mandated it? If this was a man of mercy, then how
could he do such a thing?
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			So first of all, I would say
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:30
			the was a treaty between the two who's to between the Muslims and the Jews. Okay, so Jewish tribes
structure to protect the Muslims in case of
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:33
			outsiders,
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:35
			case Meccans attacking
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:42
			the Jews non effective treaty treaty, but the align with the Meccans Yeah.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:49
			And then when it comes to the punishment, it was not a profit deciding the punishment was actually
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:55
			someone neutral that decided that. I don't remember who it was.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:45:00
			Yeah, some might say that. That was supposed to be the point.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:12
			dose fair punishment. So and who was being punished? Only the men and did use so those who are
capable of fighting beautiful, excellent, excellent. Well done, that was really good.
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:20
			So these are the what I'm giving you, here's the interrogations you're most likely to face after
you've answered them.
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:25
			Remember, the framework is the packer framework who remembers your poker framework?
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:56
			Yeah, A stands for assumption. P stands for point. E stands. For example, C stands for counter,
counter attack or counter example. And an E is analysis. So always have that as a blueprint to any
shoe hat that you're given the packer framework, a P, E, C, A start with the assumption then the
point then the example, then the counter example, and then the analysis. Because if you don't offer
a counter, you're taking a punch without giving one back. So whenever you've is you have to defend
yourself, then you have to attack.
