00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			How are you? What's your actual question?
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			My actual question is from my mother.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			I will read it just for you. It's
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			about my, you can say my grandfather,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			my grandfather.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			I will just read what my Okay. First
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			of all, one of our relatives who is
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			in his seventies joined some group of people
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			who do who don't believe in Hadis and
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			Tafsir.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			The group tries to understand Quran with the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			help of dictionary,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			hence, coming out with weird explanations. They don't
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			believe in prayer or fasting or Hajj. He
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			proudly calls him monk.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Now the problem is that he tries to
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			convince other family members also to accept this
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			theory.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			The family tries to avoid arguing with him
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			as he's an old man. My question is
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			that how should the family deal with the
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			issue? We really want to see him on
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			the right path.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			The problem is he also we had here
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			a Pakistani
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			fest,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			festival here. So, Eid Mubarak.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			And he also tried to go there on
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			stage and tell everybody,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			his view of the religion.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Okay. He's he's,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			perfectly within his rights to express his view
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			on the religion. Mhmm. But you are within
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			your rights to educate yourselves in proper Quran
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			study Mhmm. And to,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			show him the wrongness of his arguments
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			intellectually.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			Okay. You don't have to,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			and the only way you can do that
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			is if you educate yourselves a little bit,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			on, you know so so,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			you know, people like that, they develop very
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			strong views, but
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			when they when they, you know and the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			dictionary is clearly not enough Mhmm. To study
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			the Quran. Okay. And
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			what's he gonna do with so many places
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			in the Quran which are saying opposite things
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			Mhmm. That we understand through context to in
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			context and historical context.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			And it's necessary to understand,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			you know, the the placement.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:07
			Okay. So
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			I think the the idea behind it is
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			the Quran is supposed to be simple. So
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			I just gonna everyone should figure it out
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			for themselves.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			And that's an extreme that,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			at the end of the day, I want
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			I would want everybody to be able to
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			understand themselves Mhmm. But based on proper knowledge.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Yeah. Right? Yeah. So That's true. But that
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			that that means you guys are gonna have
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			to educate yourselves a lot better. Yeah. We
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			try to my father always tries to convince
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			him. He also shows him facts,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			that he's wrong, but that there is a
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			lot of more thing in the Quran that
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			he doesn't understand.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:43
			But,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			he's in his late seventies. People are a
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			little bit stubborn in this,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			if they already have since 5 Yeah. And
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			I when did this start?
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			5 years ago. What happened 5 years ago?
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			He joined some kind of group here.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			He got to meet wrong people,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			you can say that.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			Yeah. Yeah. This might be, more an emotional
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:04
			issue than
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:06
			formal intellectual
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			especially. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Come on. All
