How are you? What's your actual question?
My actual question is from my mother.
I will read it just for you. It's
about my, you can say my grandfather,
my grandfather.
I will just read what my Okay. First
of all, one of our relatives who is
in his seventies joined some group of people
who do who don't believe in Hadis and
Tafsir.
The group tries to understand Quran with the
help of dictionary,
hence, coming out with weird explanations. They don't
believe in prayer or fasting or Hajj. He
proudly calls him monk.
Now the problem is that he tries to
convince other family members also to accept this
theory.
The family tries to avoid arguing with him
as he's an old man. My question is
that how should the family deal with the
issue? We really want to see him on
the right path.
The problem is he also we had here
a Pakistani
fest,
festival here. So, Eid Mubarak.
And he also tried to go there on
stage and tell everybody,
his view of the religion.
Okay. He's he's,
perfectly within his rights to express his view
on the religion. Mhmm. But you are within
your rights to educate yourselves in proper Quran
study Mhmm. And to,
show him the wrongness of his arguments
intellectually.
Okay. You don't have to,
and the only way you can do that
is if you educate yourselves a little bit,
on, you know so so,
you know, people like that, they develop very
strong views, but
when they when they, you know and the
dictionary is clearly not enough Mhmm. To study
the Quran. Okay. And
what's he gonna do with so many places
in the Quran which are saying opposite things
Mhmm. That we understand through context to in
context and historical context.
And it's necessary to understand,
you know, the the placement.
Okay. So
I think the the idea behind it is
the Quran is supposed to be simple. So
I just gonna everyone should figure it out
for themselves.
And that's an extreme that,
at the end of the day, I want
I would want everybody to be able to
understand themselves Mhmm. But based on proper knowledge.
Yeah. Right? Yeah. So That's true. But that
that that means you guys are gonna have
to educate yourselves a lot better. Yeah. We
try to my father always tries to convince
him. He also shows him facts,
that he's wrong, but that there is a
lot of more thing in the Quran that
he doesn't understand.
But,
he's in his late seventies. People are a
little bit stubborn in this,
if they already have since 5 Yeah. And
I when did this start?
5 years ago. What happened 5 years ago?
He joined some kind of group here.
He got to meet wrong people,
you can say that.
Yeah. Yeah. This might be, more an emotional
issue than
formal intellectual
especially. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Come on. All
the best to you guys.
I hope you guys enjoyed that video clip.
