AI: Summary ©
The recent political events in Texas, including the recent election and proposal to support the Green Party, highlight the need for policies that align with justice and justice principles. The upcoming match between two people, Shaitan Maq opinion and principle, is coached by evil figures and is supposed to be between them, but the Shaitan Maq opinion is not allowed to go out of the line. There is a need for people to address issues related to their political positions, and the importance of staying home and not voting in favor of a candidate is discussed.

An organization that I think up to this
point no one has ever heard of, Texas
for Palestine.
Well, I appreciate the sentiment, Texas for Palestine.
I don't know anything else about them.
However, they said that we, a bunch of
us, endorsed the Green Party.
Well, this is not true at all.
Let me read you the letter that was
written, was shown to me, and I agreed
with it.
Together we stand firm in our refusal to
support any political party or candidate that has
actively participated in and funded the unprecedented violence
that has shocked the world.
That's a statement of negation.
He's negating, I'm not supporting any of this.
We want to be absolutely clear, don't stay
home and skip voting.
This is the section where apparently they took
it and ran and did a ta'wil,
where they made their own ta'wil that
this indicates support of the Green but doesn't
support it.
We can't support the Green Party.
Nonprofit organizations such as Masajid, when you work
in one such as myself, you can't even
ever endorse a politician or a party.
You can state what happened, you can say
how terrible this is, you can say things
like that, and we do after Jummah, we
have a report now.
Every Jummah now, our executive director stands up
and gives us a report of what politician
who had promised something and is doing the
opposite or is supporting something that is against
the interests of Muslims, etc.
When you take the position that we're taking
here, on one hand, your conscience is clear.
On the other hand, you risk total irrelevance.
Once you say you're out, you risk total
irrelevance.
This year, make a statement by voting third
party for the presidential ticket.
That's the statement that they interpreted and they
interpreted because there's only one third party out
there that we all know about.
That's probably why they interpreted that.
But he didn't say the Green Party, he
said third party.
And there's Cornel West.
Okay, Cornel West is out there too.
Equally important, vote all the way down the
ballot for candidates and policies that stand for
truth and justice, ensuring your voice is heard
at every level.
So that basically negates any specific party endorsement.
I won't support the Green Party for another
reason, because of how much in love they
are with Likbir Q.
There's not just one thing that's haram in
the world.
It's not like there's the number one bad
thing in the world that's happening.
Now we're going to play cozy with everybody
else.
Sheikh Hamza Maqbool talked about that in his
post.
And he said something similar.
He said, Shaitan is the enemy.
Not Israel.
Israel is one of them.
But Shaitan is the main enemy.
What Shaitan is except just because there is
one really bad evil, we're going to now
all of a sudden get all fuzzy wuzzy
with every other smaller evil.
No, that's a trick of Shaitan itself, right?
That's a trick of Shaitan itself.
So, oh, rabbit, there's a wolf over there.
So let's go be friends with the fox
and the dogs.
If saved from the wolf, then you'll be
in by those things too.
The more you are morally inclined to make
decisions, you end up not supporting these.
And that actually is the tradition of the
scholars from way back.
From way back.
They wouldn't even sit at the tables with
these people.
I believe it was Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal
who asked his Khadim to go get some
food.
And he went and he ended up getting
some bread.
And he said, like, where did you get
this bread from?
And he said, oh, the governor, he gifted
it to me.
Something like that, right?
Governor gifted this bread.
So he said, no, no, get rid of
it.
We're not eating this.
So after he came back, he said, where
did, what did you do with that bread?
He said, no one would take it because
they knew that you rejected it.
So no one else would, the poor wouldn't
even take it.
He said, oh, Ahmad ibn Hanbal won't eat
that bread?
I'm not eating that bread.
So then he said, well, then what did
you do?
He said, I just threw it in the
river for the fish to eat.
Imam Ahmad then said, go and inquire from
the fishermen the average lifespan of a fish.
He said, it's seven years.
He said, all right, don't cook fish for
seven years here.
So I don't know if that's like, like,
what is the rank of that story?
But subhanAllah, they had such a warah.
And the Prophet told us the book and
the Sultan would separate, would split.
Now, there needs to be, I'm telling you,
I've said this before, a political class.
You don't go for the, to them for
fatawa, you don't call them Sheikh or Imam.
But like Sami Hamdi, he's like a political,
he is the leader of the political class.
No one's going to go to them, yeah,
Sheikh Sami, what do I, how do I
pray traveler's prayer?
Or my wife just got divorced?
Blah, blah, blah, you don't go with those
things to him.
He's free to give, to talk politically and
say, guys, this is what's best for our
community.
Without this, such scrupulousness is being expected from
him.
That's what we need.
And those people should talk about and say,
and they shouldn't be connected to Masajid as,
you know, officially.
They could say, guys, I'm looking at it,
the best chess move we can make is
vote for this guy, right?
And then, and they go around telling us,
all right, this is what's happening.
With this candidate, we're having a meeting with
him.
And the meetings with candidates should not happen
with Imams of Masajid who don't even read
the newspapers, right?
And they're just so happy that someone's being
nice to them.
It's a joke.
Wallah al-Azim, it's a joke, right?
I saw Cory Booker come to the Masjid
locally and people jumping up and down and
telling him, you got our vote for president.
We didn't even negotiate anything, right?
It's like walking straight on to a used
car dealership and telling the guy, I'm buying
today.
You don't do that.
I remember when I was young, the first
time I was buying a car and I
liked the car and I said to my,
oh, I love this one, right?
She said, you keep your mouth closed, right?
Pretend you hate it, right?
How are we going to negotiate when you
already played your cards?
Now let's read a criticism.
It absolutely is better to stay home and
not vote rather than have to stand before
Allah on the day of judgment and say
you threw your weight behind an apologist for
the * murder of thousands of Muslims.
Jill Stein is a liar who is now
pretending she never supported Bashar al-Assad.
Pretending is not an acceptable repentance.
She needs to come clean and apologize primarily
to the Syrian people for supporting the massacre
of 200,000 of their people.
This is a valid opinion to me.
Is anyone going to disagree with this?
Basically, you got two options in life.
Deal with the scenario as it is, or
refuse to deal with it on principle.
I think for sure one is safer for
your Akhira.
No doubt about that at the personal level.
But if everyone were to do that, you
sort of sense that we would have problems
at a communal level, which may lead to
a worse situation for the individuals.
You see how it's like paradoxical?
So ultimately, this is a debate.
Maybe we can have Shibley Zaman on.
Maybe we can have somebody on and we
can discuss both sides.
If enough Muslims vote for the Green Party
and give them 5% of the vote,
and therefore they get federal and state money,
and that shows that the Muslims got you
there.
So the Muslims hurt you.
The Democrats are going around and challenging the
Green Party in a lot of states to
keep them off the ballot so that this
doesn't happen.
So that would show that we have the
numbers to vote as a bloc, because unless
you vote as a bloc, it doesn't really
matter.
That's what Sami Hamdi said, right?
In that clip, everyone said, you got to
watch this live stream.
I hadn't had a chance to watch it,
but he basically says that.
That's what he's been saying, yeah.
A, you have to vote as a bloc.
B, well firstly, he's taken the trajectory that
you have to actually be part of, you
have to work with the system and choose
what is the lesser, or strategically move your
way up.
Shibley Zaman's point and many others say that,
know what, nothing at all.
We're not even touching that.
You're all corrupt.
I'm telling you the problem with that is,
number one, it actually may strengthen your enemies,
and it may actually create a worse future
for your next generation.
