Nouman Ali Khan – Different Islamic Opinions in My Family – Q&A

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

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

the best to you guys.

Muslims to give them first steps in understanding

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
