Right
hello and as seen the Mahamadou earlier Samuelsson Subhanallah
Baker Blazer gmlc For masala Manila and Marcelino Alhamdulillah
Hyrum.
Smith, Amanda Rahim, I just want to open up with
something I was thinking about the other day, and how it sounds very
simple, but it's actually really amazing. And just a fact Subhan
Allah that thinking about death to me, right? is, to me was one of
the greatest creations that we have
is you got good things happen, you have bad things happen. If good
things happen. You said Hamdulillah I get to live, right,
it's a big moment to be alive, and to go for it. Okay. And when bad
things happen, it actually becomes very easy to just brush them off.
The more you think about death and thinking about death is to me,
it's a meditation. It's a meditation that relates to a
const, someone who's consistently done this, and creating this
feeling in yourself that you're leaving.
Which, firstly, it may be true, you just literally never know when
you're going to
you don't know when you're going to die. But one of the ways I like
to look at it is Everyone experiences the night before a
journey, right? The night before you travel. There's a feeling
there, you close up, you tell everyone I'm leaving. So So you
got the keys to the house, feed the cats. There's a certain vibe
and a certain feeling when you're leaving. And that's the type of
feeling you recreate for yourself.
And so it's the hardships of life becomes something that you easily
push off, right? Or everyone knows the feeling of being in transit.
Nobody in transit needs to sit there is ever going to get upset
sitting there looking around. I don't like the architecture of
this airport. Right? Any more than just one second. You're not going
to spend more than a second saying man this airport needs to be every
airport I walk into I have a common right. You walk into the
new Turkish airport while there's nice airport. That's it no more.
Right? Nobody takes pictures. You walk into the new wing of JFK. It
was at JFK.
They got to new ink. Right. Okay, so that new terminal and you're
like, oh, wow, what's much improved? You walk. So that's it.
That's the max. You don't spend more than just a sliver of a
moment observing the airport. Who cares after that, right?
You get onto a United flight or an American Airlines flight or a
Delta flight these American the one thing that the Americans are
so like they're like last place in is their airlines, because they're
all for profit airlines were private. Whereas all these other
countries they're all government backed like Emirates, Singapore.
They go on to like luxury, right? It's a luxury experience. The
food's actually good. Everything's good. They Oh,
Over, feed you, we got off of one of these airlines and people like,
you know, when they're on a plane, they get like, they get bored.
They just keep eating right. And these people will just stuff you.
And I remember everybody who got off the recent flight from JFK to
Dubai, we get off the Emirates flight, all of us are holding our
stomachs. Man, they just gave us way too much food. So but you go
onto one of these American United Delta flights, and you feel like,
okay, whatever, just four hours, we get off this darn flight.
Nobody, you never think of it again, right? If you could
actually brainwash yourself, Wallah, this is the best go, it's
probably a better skill, I would say, than making money.
You can make a lot of money and be miserable in your life.
And you could make,
but you can't possibly learn the skill of in a sense molding your
mood, and ever be miserable. Like, it'll take a lot for you to be
miserable. If you learn how to mold your mood. And the greatest
gift that the prophets come and tell us is that this is an abode
of good, bad and the ugly, and everything else, and it's short,
and you're gonna pass by it like this, then you go to a permanent
place. This is the place of permanence. And the concept is
that this is not our home. This is the home of animals, jaguars,
cats, throw a cat in the street, there are human in the street,
right? Throw human with no clothes in the street, and no one had no
one's not to help him and throw a cat and a mouse and a cockroach,
which which of the four will survive all three, except the
human, right? The human, he has to cook his food. Right? He needs
other humans to help him out. None of these other animals need that
this is their home. This is their abode. And people say why can't
you know I want to take my dog to paradise. You know, this is like a
thing, right? Everyone's I want to take my cat to paradise. All
right? Do you say that you say yes, we'll call us right. But when
you get there, it's not going to work for you or them. Your cat. Of
course Allah can create anything in paradise, but the cat is made
to live here.
That's why it doesn't need anything, doesn't need his food to
be cooked. It doesn't need a jacket. It doesn't need a house,
it doesn't need anything.
This is not our abode. We need to strive for resources, we need
roofs, we need to huddle up together. Because we can't
survive. We need all these things. And we're never always happy. Cats
never have depression. Dogs never have depression, until they live
with humans who give them the depression, right? That's why
they're depressed dogs because they live with depressed humans,
like the vibes, almost by osmosis in the air, your depression has
come upon the dog, right? All these things happen to animals
because of us. But for us, all these terrible things are bound to
happen at some point or other. So we what the prophets come and say
when it's good, enjoy it. When it's bad. Have this toolkit in
your head in your hand, learn this toolkit of how to shut your eyes
and affect yourself. And we affect ourselves with the truth. We don't
want effect that's the difference between Islam and all these other
meditations,
all these other meditations, you just fooling yourself, right?
It's empty. There's no guarantee. But and that's why the smart
people say this is all nonsense. Nothing matters except the dollar.
Right in that world. And a guy like Marx, he's right, when he
assesses all these other religions is nonsense. It's an it's a drug.
He's right when they're false religions. Right.
But when you have the truth, and you're when you have proof, the of
the sick of this God and profit and book and you have an Obama
have a billion people. If you're worried, Hey, did I get this
right? Well, don't worry. A quarter of the world agrees on
this right. And some people they need that consent that that like
social proof. That's what it is social proof. He's talking about
social proof like a company puts up all their social media people
saying how great their company is, right? That's social proof
reviews. What about there's there's only one organization one
idea one movement, one thing that its headquarters has no less the
two cities, two sacred cities, no less than half a million people at
any given moment.
Of The Year at any given moment. There's no less than a 250,000 is
probably the least of people that are ever between Mecca and Medina.
Like at either city. So I would say half a million. There's never
less than half a million people is anyone else have the right?
Anybody have have have anything like that?
at the Vatican,
you know, people say look at these look at these Catholics look at
their guards, all perfect their helicopters, the everything is
perfect with the Catholics. There's no people there. That's
why give us give them 10,000 People do an ombre, they'll
destroy the place, right? That Vatican will be like, Oh, how
pristine it is. And because there are no people, right? Give them a
million people. Let's get a pilgrimage to the Vatican not to
hate on Catholics. I always said the Catholics they have we have
some alliances. Right. But as a religion, they're the only other
religion out there. Right. The worthy of discussing. The
Protestants aren't worth discussing this to many different
groups. The Catholics are like one, you can see what they study
and everything. They have one theology, so we could talk about
them. All right, let's give them let's give them 10,000 Nigerians,
10,000, Indonesians, 10,000 Malaysians, 10,000 Bengalis go,
you'll be praying, right? Give them 10,000 Egyptians good. I
wanted to have some mercy on them. That's what?
Give them all that. Okay?
And go deal with yourself. Now. It's going to be chaos. But you
come. So don't look at those places. Look at the beauty and the
energy that is present in these two holy sacred cities. And the
kids come back. Okay. The kids come back. They don't have adult.
Right. And they don't know why they don't have adult. They
they're on. Why do that? Why are they on because number one, they
felt something on the inside that was so deep, nothing can rival it.
That's number one. Number two, they saw the social proof whether
they realize it or not. They saw the proof. Because that is a
proof. If something is true,
then why aren't a lot of people admitting to it. Right? And we say
the foundations of our religion are self evident truths
that you see if it's self evident, as you claim why there should be
millions of people. Well, here are the millions. Right? So hello. So
that's something I wanted to always I think everyone can
benefit from the school. Anytime that you feel yourself, like
really crummy and really miserable.
No worries. Turn it on that why should I be upset? I'm going
somewhere amazing. And it could be soon. It could be a little bit
later. It doesn't matter the prophesy sentence Kulu Adam curry
everything that's guaranteed is actually is near. Right, you
should treat it as being something near. alright with that little
opening monologue. Let's go to the news for today. Why don't you look
up what five pillars has meanwhile, I'll read the first
news out of Philadelphia. Does that not do with this number it
sort of does. Because it is a Russian Orthodox
defenseman for the Philadelphia flyer hockey team.
Ivan provorov did not make the pregame skate Tuesday night,
because he refused to wear the team's LGBTQ plus pride night warm
up jersey. Okay, citing his religious beliefs prover off 26
told reporters after the flyers five to home win over the Anaheim
Ducks that it was his choice to stay true to myself and my
religion. What I like to point to is what kind of language did he
use? How the Philadelphia flyer organization treated him or
treated the situation and how the media is treating him.
So he said, I chose to stay true to myself and my religion. Is that
not some really good
public relations
line? Obviously, his agent must have fed it to him. There's no 26
year old that has some great language. Who is going to say,
Who's going to say that that's bad, right? And aren't you all
about choice and being true to yourself? So why not the Russian
Orthodox guy being true to himself.
I respect everyone, I respect everyone's choices. Okay, we don't
have a problem saying that in the sense of, I respect you. I'm not
going to cut you off on the street. I'm not going to cut you
off at the supermarket. I respect you. And that's your choice. You
have the choice to
you have the choice to
to exercise your free will. Right. Before the game the flyers were
pride themed jerseys and use sticks wrapped in rainbow tape.
That's just too much cheese. Like it's it's just
you guys are really insecure about your future. That's why you have
to push push, push, push push for the Graham flyers. They did this
and they're now
are being auctioned off by flyers charities with proceeds going to
the efforts to grow the game in diverse communities.
Provo Rob was the only flyer player who didn't have a jersey or
a stick up for auction. After the game, the flyers released a
following press release. The Philadelphia Flyers organization
is committed to inclusivity and is proud to support co minuites. Many
of our players are active in their support of komoot. And we were
proud to host pride night. Again this year the flyers will continue
to be strong advocates for covenants. The NHL in response to
ESPN requests for comment stated players are free to decide which
initiative to support.
That's a big step in rights
for those who are supporting both adults, like why should I support?
Hockey is for everyone is the umbrella initiative under which
the league encourages clubs to celebrate the diversity that
exists so that you guys have a lot of medical ease. Have you tapped
into the medically market in Philadelphia? Right? You got a big
time German town selfie. So for that warm up,
I want you the players to wear big beards. Okay, and I want them to
lift their pads up above the ankles. Okay, and do that for the
warm up. All right. And
and while they're warming up, play off a mean football instead of
music in the warm up so that you could be inclusive of the massive
set of fie community in Philadelphia. Right? Am I wrong
about that? I mean, aren't they buyers they they they buy stuff
they'll buy your tickets Salah for them to come to the games, and
players will decide whom to celebrate when and how. Right the
club can decide that and the player can decide what to be part
of right but I mean they're inclusive for offense the set if
you fan of you know Saturday Phillies Phillies NEJM basically
Okay, so why not include them?
If I'm gonna salary, I'll let you figure that out by doing some
Google search and doing watching a couple.
Yeah, listen to the live stream a little bit
okay.
Malik is from the sun if he is
a Hanif
I will have an ash it is from the self mimetic is from the self.
These are from the first generations of Islam. There is no
meth hub that is closer to the sun is the sun No, no matter the
amount of does not have to be close to the sun that what is what
the Sun is good because he's literally in Medina. And he's just
telling you what they're doing. That's all that's going on in the
Maliki method. That's a summary. So that is the Sunnah. If you want
to be upon the setup, then start learning the Maliki school. And if
you the cufon school had 10,000 Sahaba there too. So how did they
deviate from the self either? So behind the feet as well. The
flyers coach John Tortorella, one of my favorite personalities, said
he didn't contemplate scratching prover of for not taking warmups,
he's being true to himself into his religion. Is this the line?
We're going to use? No. Being true to myself and my religion. That's
good. Whoever came up with that that line is good.
This has to do with his belief in his religion. It's one thing I
respect about Pro V. He's always true to himself. Right? You know,
the guy for three months, but that's fine. That's where we're at
with that. Tortorella has made headlines before about his stance
on pregame protests. In 2016. He said that any of his players who
didn't stand for the national anthem can remain sitting for the
rest of the game. Because some of the players when you sit on the
bench, and the National Anthem goes off, you stand up. So he told
his USA Olympic team players. This is like the USA Olympics.
The US team for the Olympics in 2016. He told them if you plan on
sitting for the national anthem, stay seated for the rest of the
game.
Right and that got everyone riled up? Well, it doesn't make sense to
go to the Olympics and not stand for your national anthem. It makes
sense if you're going to do that for a league game but if you want
to do that, right, but to do that for
what you might call it for,
for the Olympic game, your goat you're there for the flag.
doesn't make any sense. And he reversed his stance though after
he was shown racial injustice. I would hope that if one of my
players wanted to protest during the anthem, he would bring it to
me and we would talk about it. Tell me his thoughts and what he
wanted to do from there. We would bring it to the team to discuss it
much like it's being discussed in the country, blah, blah, blah.
pride events are part of the year round now. Year round, why don't
you have pride day, five times a day like we have so love five
times a day. That's where we're headed right? Multiple times a day
forget year round, or one month. That's where they're headed.
For more than a decade, the NHL has been increasing its effort to
show its year round. Support of COVID Lutz said Kim Davis. Flyers
have supported comm Lutz mueslis comm which has a lot of
money to spend, they don't have kids, they don't play pay soccer
fees. They don't pay tutors, they don't pay extra gas to deliver
their kids anywhere, any, you know how much how much money I'd have.
Right? You know how much money would be in the community, except
one problem. After one generation you won't have a community. That's
the problem. So we are paying all this money and all this time for
kids to have a community in the future. They need to market a
community. Right? That's what they need to do. They need to they need
to create converts every year. Now Gritti is their mascot.
And he famously took place in the Pride Parade. Okay, he's a he's a
fuzzy little thing.
Okay. All right. So
what do you have?
Like about
an Afghan NGO or an
NGO that wants to send them basically
disputes the claim that much of the funding that goes to
Afghanistan actually doesn't? It doesn't go oh, this is Mike work.
By the way. Take this. Keep it next year, but don't touch it
because it's very sensitive. Just put it right in front of there.
All right, a British Muslim aid org working in Afghanistan has
rebuff rubbish, rubbish. This is a this is the verb No, they have
rubbished claims this this was not a verb when I was there, they have
rubbished claims that the Afghan authorities are stealing
international aid
journalist.
And we're doing this is a Muslim NGO. Yes, it's a Muslim aid.
Alright, Lynne O'Donnell, she's anti Taliban. And she's a
journalist, and she was expelled last year from Afghanistan.
So is this her way of getting back now? Maybe
getting back at the government? She said she based it on anonymous
sources. You know, right there. It's that's a red flag for
journalism, including a unless you have other ways to substantiate
that, including a former Afghan intelligence and military officer
alleged that unknown quantities are stolen by the Taliban.
10s of millions of dollars are flown into Cabo every week by the
US and the UN for distribution across the country as humanitarian
catastrophe grips tighter with winter closing in I didn't know
the US sends money what's what's in it for them?
Okay, so for some reason,
interesting. So somehow, for some reason the US is sending aid to
Afghanistan. Fair enough.
Okay, maybe that maybe it's private organization, not the US
government. Sources inside and outside the country say much of
the money never reaches those who need it. You'll never be able to
substantiate that. Being that you're locked out of the country.
It's not like America, anyone could come in and snoop around.
Instead, they say unknown quantities are stolen by the
Taliban and diverted to their own causes.
Keeping supporters onside
with handouts of cash and food and funding the private operations of
senior leaders
but human aid and advocacy has issued a statement saying the
claims are false. This is there is a broad consensus that corruption
has dramatically decreased since the US withdrawal. If anything,
guarantees that aid will reach the recipients are at an all time
high.
Somebody want to someone's gaslighting, right, it's like two
completely polar opposite ideas right? gaslighting for some of you
who don't know this gaslighting gaslighting is it's it comes from
an old movie. And the, in this movie a man, he wanted to marry
another woman, and he needed some kind of reason to divorce her. So
he wanted to render her insane. So he would go to the Khuddam the
workers and he would say, Listen, anytime that she turns the gas
light on, which is the lamps,
turn them off. anytime she turns them off, turn them on. So start
thinking she's going crazy. And anytime that someone that she says
Who turned off the light, say not me.
So that's and then they kept doing this until she thought she was
going crazy. So the idea of gaslighting is to present
the world or a situation as being one way that it totally isn't. But
to act like that's totally normal, right? That's what gaslighting is
basically. And people go that route in life, they're gonna mess
their own heads up there eventually themselves won't be in
touch with reality. It's the punishment of that.
So someone here is doing that. That's what Trump did the whole
campaign. His whole campaign. He he he knew some he that's all he
does literally.
Just checked, that goes from the US. About a billion dollars since
2021.
Organization, USAID, USAID, yeah.
A small portion from the State Department.
Why are you Why is USAID?
What are they paying all their spies and their translators? And?
Yeah, as an independent NGO, working on the ground day in and
day out, human aid and advocacy has substantial experience.
Delivering life saving programs across the country by distributing
food, clothes, shelter, blah, blah, blah, drawing on in depth
interviews with 20. Experts stakeholders with current
knowledge, so they basically denied it. That's it. There's
nothing else that's juicy. Let's hear about the journalists who got
kicked up. Last July. Authorities in Afghanistan accused the
Australian journalists Lynn O'Donnell
of supporting armed resistance in the nation, and falsifying reports
of mass violations and * sexual slavery by government officials.
The comments by foreign ministry spokesman Abduch 100. beloki.
Sounds like an author from like,
ancient times came after Linnell. Donald accused the authorities of
detaining her and forcing her to post a series of tweets stating
her articles were false. Mr. Belsky said she was informed that
she will be able to stay and operate in Afghanistan. If she can
produce evidence and substantiate her claims. She was assured that
in line with journalistic standards, she will not be
required to reveal her sources, but only details of victims or
other circumstantial evidence that would allow the authorities to
prosecute violators of Afghanistan's law. Miss O'Donnell,
when summoned by the relevant authorities to furnish these
proofs, lied about her presence in Afghanistan. She was later
discovered hiding in Kabul and taken in for questioning.
It seems like it's very low hanging fruit, to say, Oh, the
Taliban are doing sexual violence or whatever. It doesn't mean she's
wrong, but it just looks a little bit like it's too simplistic too
low hanging fruit, you know, everyone's going to applaud that
article and share it in the West. Right.
During the questioning, she was given an opportunity to furnish
proof substantiate claims in her reports of sexual slavery and mass
killings by government authorities. Okay.
By the way, that statement itself, okay. That statement itself that
she was given that chance and she was asked to do that in a polite
manner, that's itself as a claim to be fair.
Okay. She stated that she had no proof
and offered to rectify the situation by tweeting and apology.
officials told her that it was clear this is the real story,
right. I don't care about that. Claims of the food getting to
people who knows if that's true or false, but this is an interesting
story.
officials told her at the time that it was clear she she will
recant this tweet upon leaving Afghanistan and claim coercion.
However, authorities relented following missile Donald's
insistence on tweet
didn't get apology, given it was her private account. All right,
she wants to tweet an apology fine. After a few hours of
questioning she was released, O'Donnell said in an article for
Foreign Policy magazine, we're gonna read that, could you you see
what I'm reading? Okay, can you check out the form FB magazine see
if it's if it's good to read that. It's worth reading that she had
traveled to Kabul to see how the country had changed since she left
a year ago. She wrote, I left Afghanistan today after three days
of cat and mouse with Taliban intelligence agents who detained
abused and threatened me and forced me to issue a barely
literate retraction of reports, they said had broken their law and
offended Afghan culture. If I did not they said they'd send me to
jail. At one point they surrounded me and demand I accompany them to
prison throughout a man with a gun was never far away.
You are really like, I mean, it could be true, to be fair, yet at
the same time, it's so cliched, you're like 15 years behind this
is so cliched at this point, at my old saying and there could be 5%
chance it's true, right? But
far from achieving their goal of intimidating and undermining me.
They showed me what I want to find. I want to find their true
face brutality, arrogance, lack of humanity.
Okay, here's her article, self righteousness, intolerance and
misogyny. Is there any other
adjective that's gonna get you up there in the
Tick Tock Twitter and whatever. Yeah. Typical. Their incompetence.
There's another one.
And, and their utter lack of ability to it. By the way. I'm not
saying there can't be five 10% 20% of half of this being true. I'm
just saying doesn't it just sounds so cliched western woman shocked
by the misogyny of Afghan men.
Right? It's just like,
way back there was a movie called Not Without My Daughter,
which was like the first movie of the western woman going to the
east and being utterly shocked by the male's of the East. Cow. How
long is this cliche going to last?
In the Western Hemisphere?
Okay, Afghanistan and Afghanistan has fallen prey to terrorists who
have not and cannot make the transition from fighting from
fight from a fighting force to a governing body.
Okay. And by the way, I'm not biased to the Taliban because I
was I went against them and what they did with the girls schools,
in that they allowed,
they misled everyone. If that claim is true, that they announced
we're having school on Monday, and then on like, Tuesday night, or
Sunday night, they canceled it. Or he was worse. It was like Sunday
night they announced tomorrow school. Good luck, everyone.
Right. Next day, they canceled school. To me that's incompetence
that corroborates that there is incompetence going on. That means
that you're not.
There is some major incompetence. There's some cluelessness, there's
a lot of bad things going on. But at the same time, I also
cited the concept and the idea that if you're if you're if you
want to talk about schools and things, it's not necessarily a
country's obligations to provide that it is gets accustomed now
that all countries provide schools, and I was definitely
against all these Westerners talking, right? And pitching in,
it's like offensive, you should be offended. Imagine some people
trying to like,
imagine like an another little organization coming writing
reports telling us how to run our organization. It's like, Who are
you first of all? So
I think we took a fair approach to that. And also, I don't deny that
it very well could be that there were people promoting some liberal
agendas in the schools that they discovered late. And they wanted
to shut it down quickly. In that case, I would have said, you would
shut down the boys school and the girls go, why would the boys go?
If that's the case? Right. Why would the boys go to that school?
Right? And wouldn't you have checked the curriculums way in
advance? So there was some incompetence. Okay. But I was
against the I'm always against when it comes to Afghanistan. The
you could call it the kicking them when they're down. Right, these
people have faced and they never get any credit for trauma.
When England, Russia and America they get no rest. Show me one
generation of Afghans 25 years. Let's say a generation is 40 years
and said yeah, you know that generations 40 years
Why because Allah says in the Quran, Allah had limits to the
Komamura mclubbe I lived the whole lifetime amongst you for two years
is a lifetime, right? Your reputation should be set give me
when it's 40 years past when they did not have an invading force
coming or leaving, right? I'm not just saying the war, I'm saying
the invading force is there, but they get no pass for being
traumatized. Right. And if one of their own goes and does some
heinous crime,
and then goes back and says, Hey, listen, I was abused as a child.
Right? They will get a pass. Okay. But so that's why when I get a
foreigner coming here,
and and, and pontificating, and judging, right? So nobody should
be judgmental, except if you're a Westerner, particularly a Western
woman, with brown dudes, brown guys, nobody can be judgmental,
except that when she's judgmental, right, then we have to applaud it.
We have to sympathize with it. I'm saying this, with the caveat that
her claims could have. Some are a lot or a small amount of truth. We
don't know that. But the fact that she goes in there, right? And
she's pontificating. You went from Australia, you have nothing else
in your career, you went to the low hanging fruit Afghanistan, to
be able to say what you want, right? Who's gonna go and verify?
Right?
So that's the part that bothers me. Yeah.
Yeah,
that's, that's another thing I said the in that in that thing?
Where were you? Okay, when you're talking about how inhumane This
is? Talking about so inhumane, with all of what they're doing and
shutting down the schools. So the US wasn't inhumane when they're
bombing the lights out of them, right.
Mountain Men will live in the Afghan war, I saw a member of
footage. The guy was walking with like, a type of gun like surface
to air missiles. They're all carrying them. Of course, the
surface air missiles, it's fired off the back of a pickup truck. By
guys. They don't they figuring out how to use it. Right. And they're
carrying the supplies. And they're showing Taliban fighters or
whatever fighters, terrorist fighters, the guys wearing those
flip flops, with the the noob, as we call them,
you know, the flip flop. They don't even sell them anymore, do
they? With the two strands.
It's a 10 cent piece of junk. That gives your ankle zero support.
It's a piece of sponge, and a piece of plastic that goes through
from your after your big toe and your other toe. And it goes around
the side like that. That's what he's wearing at war. Right? Those
are the people that you blew the two bits, okay.
On on a theory, a true conspiracy theory. That's a true conspiracy
theory. That caveman came in hijacked two airplanes in New York
that 911. If you want to talk about a conspiracy theory, the
most wild conspiracy theory that you'll ever hear is that cavemen
from Afghanistan did 911.
That's that. That's got to be if there's ever a conspiracy, that's
got to be the conspiracy theory. Right. And there's outcomes razor,
which is probably the simplest thing is most likely to be true,
which is you need an excuse to go into Afghanistan to get natural
resources for free. And you you just took down your own building.
We've done it before the Lusitania was fake. The rice tag with Hitler
was fake.
The Haute what was the one I think
the Disraeli hotel. What was that that bombing was fake. Right that
they blamed I can't remember what that story was. There. So this
oldest thing in the book superpower needs an excuse to
steal. Iraq was fake.
So the Occam's Razor says probably the logic the simplest logic is
going to be
the most likely to be true. But you're gonna go tell me that
people who whose soldiers are wearing flip flops to war, okay.
So you're silent on all that stuff. But this we have to be
outraged. Everywhere I went. In the short time I was in Kabul
people told me of their fear, their loss, their disgust, their
desperation, most have no jobs, no money, no hope. What I found was a
violent piece. People are arbitrarily detained, disappeared,
interrogated, beaten, killed. It could be for any reason or no
reason. They will never they will ever know. Go report this about
Egypt. You'll be one of the people who disappeared right? You'll be
disappeared as that now is
verb to apparently, the Taliban are pitting neighbor against
neighbor encouraging people to spy on and report each other fear is
digging in. And it's here for the long haul. Listen, you might be
100% True. I don't want to hear from your mouth, you have no moral
authority to talk. Don't you get it yet? Seriously, Black Lives
Matter, there's one thing that they
I sort of can't get it. They want to tell the white liberal to shut
up. Just don't talk Don't even try to support us. Right, that I could
sort of get it.
She added that she would not be returning to Afghanistan as it
will be reckless to do so. But she said she would not stop watching
or caring Listen, she may have
an Ebola Ahmed commenting here anonymous sources, right.
Okay, so
that's it, I have this the same position I had with the with the
schools shutting down to me, you told them is on. And then you turn
it off the next day, that's just ridiculous. You get all the you
deserve all the criticism you get, you have the intention of shutting
out liberal education and
Western moral ideas from your school, I'm with you 100%.
But if that was the case, it would be applied to boys as well as
girls that don't see why it would apply to girls, not boys, That
don't make no sense to me. And on top of that the girls are the
schools are segregated. Um, with that 100% I have no problem with
segregated schools. Now if you're going to say we live in a
combined society. So kids should learn how to deal with the
opposite gender, I understand that too. Right. I like I can see both
sides. Personally speaking. If you gave me a bunch of boys.
And you told me educate these boys, I can educate them, right? I
can give them a really good education. They're gonna help me
run my businesses. That's how they're going to learn. You take
you're going to take theory for three hours theory to me means
nothing. Reading hour,
read a history book, read a literature book and discuss it
with an expert. You get to do this for an hour to two hours. That's
it.
Get a math and a science instructor. And computers, you get
theory for three, four hours after that, you're gonna roll with me,
and you're gonna learn real life. Good. That's I think is really
valuable. But now tell me, okay, you're not gonna get 20 boys to do
this with you're gonna get 10 Boys 10 Girls, now I gotta change
everything. Right? I got to change the tone that I talked to them
with. I gotta be polite, all of a sudden, I can't be as direct all
that stuff. Right? And they will learn in a different capacity in a
different way than boys. I'm going to shortchange the boys.
Guaranteed. So but whatever. This is just a pedagogical theory. That
it's an opinion.
So on that point, I'm with them.
Okay, so
that's, that's my take with with the tablet. But I don't want to
hear white liberals talking. It just it's, it's done. We're done
with that the whole world is done with that, right? I'm not wrong
and saying this. Everyone says this. We're done with you guys
coming? And could you please make a career somewhere else in
Australia, go far back where you came from, and Australia and try
to make a career don't come to some country that nobody can
verify what you're saying? Because you're so far away. That's it. You
know what that's like, in our world of Islam.
I come back to him to New Jersey. And I said I am now the Mufti and
the sheikh. Oh, really? And I have ijazah. Okay, well, who did you
study with? I study with Sheikh Clobazam, and so on. So son of so
and so son of so and so. Oh, really? Where's he from? He's deep
in the mountains and the deserts that no one could ever find him.
So how am I supposed to know if you're fraud or not? I can
contact? can I contact your shift? No, it doesn't have there's no
electricity there.
Can we go and talk to him? No, he doesn't meet people. So what's a
fraud? Right? So this is my feeling when I see these
organizations coming in here. Are these these people go halfway
around the world to go make a career? And by the way, it just
that that's the impression Could it be that she's such a genuine
person? She just loves these people.
At a certain point, could you please love somebody else? Okay.
Yes.
Yeah, they there's there's a lack of nuance, right. Like you can't
go in and have I mean, I'm sure that Alibaba is wildly corrupt in
their own way. But also at the same time, the US was there for 20
years, allegedly rebuilding the country. Yeah. As soon as you
left, you left this government in charge. Yeah. Which lost the
country in a matter of three days. You essentially left a completely
I mean, no government shouldn't
wasn't three days like this, no matter what happens three days,
like hilariously, some sort of a fight, which did not happen. So
you spent 20 years rebuilding a country only to leave essentially
a shell of a government. Right? And then they took it in three
days. So if they didn't, let's say they didn't take, what kind of
government that collapses in three days can provide any sense of
public services or anything. Thank you. They can't do they can't
defend their country. They can't provide public services. They
don't have any money. Yeah. So what's the point? Even the
wildest, like the most corrupt countries in like the Middle East
and stuff? I mean, we've seen Yeah, people. I'm not saying it's
a good thing, but people rise up. And you know, you have these
rebels that can even take Syria, which largely corrupt government,
their
strong resistance from the from the rebel side. They stood their
ground, they still fought back. Three days. Yeah, unfortunately.
So So what did you do? But you know, the point is, there's like
for him, yeah. So you spent 20 you bombed the country? You leveled
it? And then you said, Okay, we're gonna start from scratch after
you've killed a bunch of people. Yeah. You start from scratch, you
spent 20 years building, and then nothing. And so when these
journalists come in, it's you can there's a nuance to be had even
with the Taliban. They're saying, Oh, the Taliban are not doing a
great job. But also the US helped withheld over a billion or
several, a couple billion dollars of reserve funding is supposed to
go to the Afghan government should the US ever withdraw? Yeah. And
because the Taliban took over the US decided not to release that
money, which is by international law, you know, they shouldn't have
withheld it. So you're not even given them the funds that they
would need? Yeah. And they say, Oh, look, they're doing a good
job. So let's the journalist is gonna come and say, hey, yeah,
they're not doing a great job on XYZ. But guess what, also, we left
them, destroyed country, took all their money. And I mentioned that
then why should I take you seriously? Why don't your
investigative journalism actually do something useful? And tell us
how much was stolen? You're not gonna tell me the US went in there
spent a ridiculous sum of money billions of dollars
a month, I'm sure.
Right.
And not get anything out of it. That's investigative journalism,
right? Go and tell us, right? And see what the CIA does to you when
you do this. Right. See how you're gonna get shut down, you will get
disappeared, as that's what she said, right? You're gonna get so
disappeared so fast. No one's gonna even know who you were. If
you go in there and use here is the natural gas pipeline that the
US has stolen.
And here are the documents saying how much money they're making.
That's the real journalism right there. Right. So these journalists
are basically like, modern day Oriental. Yeah. Yeah.
That's exactly it. Yeah.
Next news item.
Remember Hamline University, the cartoon.
I think it's actually important we do these segments, because there
is, I believe, a way both logically and by shittier.
To do an analysis, we all come up on news all the time, right? But
we need good analysis, like what is the shutter a logical way to do
an analysis? Like I'm sort of bashing and slamming this
journalist, but nonetheless, she
a percentage of what she's saying may be true. Okay. So we so that's
that aspect. Now, Hamline University
gets death threats.
After letting go the lecturer who showed the profit images, a US
university out in Minnesota, they let this lecture go.
After the whole scandal regarding the Prophet Muhammad's paintings
that she showed has received death threats. According to the
president of the university, Hamline University has been
heavily criticized for its decision not to complete coward
way of handling it, they were complete cowards, right. So part
of the if we're going to say a shut eye way, which is really a
logical way of analyzing a new story is to split it up in as many
parts as possible. Right. So in that case, it was really
interesting that split it up in a lot of parts, the conclusion that
they're never going to show an image with the painting of the
profit is wonderful. The way in which they went about it. Hamline
University to me, treated it in a cowardly way. Weak.
The student the intention and the way the intention fun and was
silent. She's this is our Muslim sister. The intention that she's
so upset that the Prophet was shown no sign. I'm all for that.
But the way in which he did it was way off, far from the right way to
do things.
The lady, the professor gave you a chance to talk well in advance two
times. Nobody talks, right? Nobody talked, you went above her and
around her. Good
to read her up. That's the stuff that is Weasley stuff. That's
totally Weasley. And the school who accepted the student to come
is as Weasley as her. Right? That is as Weasley an action as
anybody. Because if someone comes to me and says, Hey,
Ryan doesn't answer my emails, blah, blah, blah. I'm gonna say,
Alright. Have you talked to him? Like, have you had a discussion
with him? No, I didn't.
I don't like the way he talks to me. Okay, can you talk to him
about that? No, no, I don't want to do that. Okay, then. I'm not
helping you. This going above the chain of command in an
organization or anything is disastrous. Why? Because now all
the workers are nervous. Because who, when I'm when I'm working, I
report to one person, right? Every company you go to you have to
report that you can't report to different people. Right? So
actually, one of the proofs that there's only one possible God can
have multiple gods right everywhere you go. You have one
president, one CEO, gotta have to hate without one. You have
disorder.
So you got I got one. Now, I should only be worried about that
one. I can't have my employees going around my back. Or my
clients going on my back. No one around the bank got to divide it
up. So Hamline University, these weasels, these weak people who
they came upon the right conclusion,
by accident, really, or in the wrong way. Now, they've been
heavily criticized by academics and even some American Muslims,
including myself. They say the action was a gross violation of
academic freedom. No, that's not my critique. That's not my
critique. I don't believe in academic freedom. You don't have
the freedom to insult people. You don't have freedom to say, Cofer.
I have a very, we have a very radical view on academic freedom.
The Academy, academics, as a Muslim is bound
to the Sharia, and to God's will, if we were to open up and have him
Islamic country, and we have a league of 20 colleges in our
country, right? You are as bound to God's law as anybody else.
There is no academic freedom to go and blaspheme God disobey God, all
that stuff. You guys keep that for your countries. That's not my
belief. So that's not why I was against this. Right? I was not
against it for gross violation of academic freedom. That's their
position. Fine. You have your religion and we have ours.
Got the lecture had no Islamophobic intent that to I
agree with. Clearly she has no intent to injure the Muslims and
how they feel or did disrespect the Prophet. She doesn't have the
rules that we have regarding the Prophet. But clearly she had
respect. Right. She was not she was telling you in advance. One of
the signs of respect is when you're aboveboard. This is what
we're doing. Okay. If that upsets you come talk to me, she's
aboveboard.
And I liked what the care guy said. I think it was Kerr who said
there's a big difference between honest slamming and Islamophobic.
We have to separate between the undecided and everyone's honest
lemak right. You go down, you're called the SEC. Everyone's on
Islam. Your Street, everyone. They're not Muslim. So why would
they? Why would they be Islamic? They're not Muslims. But do they
hate you? Do they disrespect you know, so you can get along?
The guy said a guy coming and drinking beer. My neighbor drinks
beer. It's on Islamic. He's not trying to offend me. He drinks
beer. Right. But he comes right in front of my mosques and drinks
like this. That's a sunfab. Great. He's trying to offend you.
Commenting on the issue for the first time, Hamline president said
Finis Miller, fuelled by commentary not well informed on
the particulars of the situation of the situation. We now and
there's a chance of truth to that, by the way, we are saying based on
what we read, that's all we have to base on based upon what we
read. It was Weasley what they did, we now find ourselves at the
heart of a purported standoff between academic freedom and
equity. It has escalated to the point where I members of my
executive staff and other campus staff, most sadly, one of our
students now receive death threats, daily threats of
violence, I would actually ask you to publicize those threats. Right,
publicize it.
It's an easy way to shut down dialogue, to be honest, publicize
the threat show us where's the threat? And why don't you go and
report those threats to the police? Right? Because it's very
easy to shut stuff down by saying, Oh, it's getting violent. We're
getting
threats and all of a sudden get sympathy now.
The controversy erupted last year when the Minnesota University let
go an art history lecture. Adjunct Professor aka miskeen Erica Lopez
praeter Who upsetting Muslim students by showing images of the
Prophet in an online class
you know, these online classes they get very little attention
it's it's low priority operation and it's just
yeah, the professor's hardly put effort to
it so hard to pay attention. Yes. The professor shared two
depictions of the Prophet okay
one had a veil and a halo and one was of the Prophet peace be upon
him receiving revelations created by Rashida Dean, a Persian Muslim
scholar and historian. And someone had a fuss that I got it wrong
that I suspected he was a shear he he's not a shear you he was a
Sunday. Okay, you happy now? I said he's a Sunday. Is that here?
So there was there was some nice drink. So nice commit Zina, do you
think it's because he's a Sunday, I'm gonna change my position. So I
wanted to because I share the same position as you with regards to
how this was handled, and how she also handled it. But also feel
like there's there, especially in recent years, with the insulted
images that have been published to the Prophet, I feel like there's
been enough
like understanding and the general public, even amongst non Muslims,
that any depiction of the proper size is gonna get you a bad
result. And I think, if knowing that, she probably just should
have just not done it to begin with, right? Because, yeah, even
if you say, Oh, well, but this is a Sunday, we'll publish it, but
you're talking about a Sunday from how many centuries ago? Yeah, and
what was the context? And why did they do it? And where they had
developed, you know, person? Yeah. Somebody? I mean, there's a lot of
studies now with respect. Yeah, unfortunately. So.
So this, this is, I feel like that's something just, it's more
of a streetsmart. It's a I shouldn't maybe I shouldn't do
this, because, like, I'll just focus on another topic. It's a
wonderful, and I would say, proof of Allah subhanaw taala his power,
and his protection to the Prophet, if it becomes like a think if it
becomes a worldwide
don't show an image of the Prophet, something bad will
happen. That to me would be a proof of the of Allah's protection
of the message of peace. And we don't and that's not even a
condition. They struck the face of the prophets of Allah when he was
setting them, they threw things on the prophets of Allah when he was
sent him they have killed, prophets have been killed before.
So for a prophet to be insulted in any way, shape, and form does not
decrease from his stature. In fact, the more you're insulting
him, the more you're focusing on the prophets. I said, somebody
you're thinking about him. Right? Good, better. Yeah, the
interfaith ones.
I remember who, who that Imam was, me man was there, there was a
rabbi and there was a priest, and presets on with the effect of, you
know, after they had this very nice dialogue about Islam and
Christianity engineers. At the end, he says, Well, he tells the
man, he's, uh, but you know, you've got to admit that there's a
difference in something to the effect of like a difference in the
quality of or the, like, the civility of, you know, Christian
followers versus Muslim followers, in the sense that, you know, we
don't we don't go crazy when you when Jesus gets insulted.
And the Imam says that sounds like a problem. That's true. I have not
fostered enough love
for for St. Nisa that people do not get riled up. Of course, it
doesn't justify violent reactions. But the fact that you haven't
fostered enough love for Sydney's Alison that you get bothered by
it. Yeah. I mean, we see in pop culture today, you're more likely
to see a nice, be insulted, depicted inappropriately than even
before founding fathers of this country. But then, you know why as
Muslims, you know, even the slightest, slight profit size is
acceptable.
anger, disgust is manufactured.
It's manufactured by society is part of it will say half of it.
There's an element of it. That's 50 it's inherit in the human
being, like if
someone throws something smelly or dirty on you, you get disgusted
everyone, but moral based anger, disgust and outrage is it's it's,
it's manufactured in every society.
What will the outrage be if you used a racial slur? What will the
outrage be if you said the Holocaust doesn't exist? Or you
said something bad about the Holocaust? What will the outrage
be? Or what will the emotion be? If you use the same derogatory
terminology on the Taliban? Right? What will the outrage be?
In certain parts like San Francisco and New York, if you
mock a Trump supporter, right, versus if you mock a homosexual.
All of this anger and outrage is a branch of the tree of morality and
beliefs. We have to understand that, right? We teach this thing
you should be outraged at the offense of Allah and His Messenger
of Allah when he was on, it's a teaching, okay? As you teach the
outrage of whatever you believe in, and every society will teach
the outrage of what they believe in. I remember a guy in China, he
came professor from China, and paleo
came with his fossil finds.
And he said that the fossil record it, it flips Darwin's theory
upside down. Because we don't see a gradual development of these
fossils, we find them boom, right there in front of our face, all of
a sudden, so it indicates like creation, rather than evolution.
He was received with such shock, although he was one of the best in
his fields.
He's he left. He said, Look, in China, in America, you can
criticize the government, but you can't criticize Darwin. In China.
We can criticize Darwin, we just can't criticize the government
says the reverse, right? It's all manufactured shock is manufactured
everything. Right? And it is a it's a footer. It's a branch of
your beliefs. Okay. Now, let's see, one of the paintings was an
ottoman painting and that had a veil over the prophets face.
Alright, so how wrong in her statement, President Miller Oh,
it's a woman all this time. I thought Finis was for some reason.
I thought mill the whole time. Finis I didn't know what it was to
be honest with you. I thought it was a guy for some reason. I
thought I had read other way somewhere else that the President
was a dude. Anyway, she clarified that the professor had not been
fired. As a widely reported widely reported by the media. It's just
that her contract was not renewed. Please stop playing games. Yeah,
you know, annoying it is for a university to try to find a
professor. It's really hard to find teachers. She said to suggest
that the university does not respect academic freedom is absurd
on its face. Hamline is a liberal arts institution, the oldest in
Minnesota, the first to admit women, and now led by a woman of
color to deny the precepts upon which academic freedom is based
would undermine the foundational principles of this University.
Prior prioritizing the well being of our students does not in any
way, negate or minimize the rights and privileges assured by academic
freedom. But concepts do intersect here's the intersectionality of
these liberals, faculty have the right to teach and research
subjects of importance to them, and publish their work under the
purview of their peers. At the same time, academic freedom does
not operate in a vacuum. It is subject to the dictates of society
and the laws governing certain types of behavior, academic
freedom, it's good that she's saying this because we believe in
the same thing. Academic freedom, in our view, is subject to the
dictates labor, we am talking just as Muslims, it would be subject to
the dictates of the Sharia.
It's the dictates of society and laws governing certain behaviors.
Academic freedom, like many ideological principles can be
manipulated, misunderstood, and misrepresented this part of the
discussion I like actually, academic freedom can be a weapon
to be used against vulnerable populations. Why? Because on the
other end of a professor claiming academic freedom may be a student
who lacks tenure, a student who must rely on the professor for a
grade who may be emotionally intellectually professionally
harmed by the professor's exercise of the power they hold. This is
gonna be a big problem.
Right?
The students that you deal with every day, are getting more and
more fragile, emotional, and they're all diverse. So what
offends one won't offend the other? What is the one's belief
will be the others offense? Also, the American Federation of
Teachers correctly notes that academic freedom and its attendant
rights do not mean that anything goes okay. So you all have limits?
Who sets the limits? Right? That's That's always where we get to with
liberal ideologies. When they reach a limit, and they say, Hey,
guys, there's got to be boundaries. We say great, we're
glad you said that, who sets the boundaries man or creator of men.
It notes that faculty must act professionally, in their scholarly
research in their teaching, and their interactions.
with students and ensure this through policies and procedures
that safeguard both students, and the academic integrity of the
institutions and disciplines.
I asked those who presumed to judge us the following questions.
Yes, we did judge you. So maybe we were wrong. Let's see what you
said. Does your defense have an of academic freedom?
And, again, that's not our claim. It's not our claim.
But anyway, does your defense of academic freedom infringe upon the
rights of students in violation of the very principles you defend?
Second, does the claim that academic freedom is sacrosanct and
owes no debt to the traditions, beliefs and views of students
comprise a privileged reaction?
Okay, yeah, you know, what, who can have that kind of belief,
someone with no beliefs? Right? That you have you owe no debt.
That means there are no lines here. Academic Freedom has no
lines whatsoever.
Yeah, we're, that's internally incoherent. Right.
Anything that's that is relativistic, or has no boundaries
is internally incoherent. So what if I want to now right and have a
course on the opposite of this? Right? You're going to allow it
right, I guess they would have to allow it. That is what that's the
whole liberal paradox. Right? Does does liberalism, have room for
intolerance? Right.
That is why hemlines civility statement, which guards our campus
interaction notes, any student regardless of race, ethnicity,
religion belief deserves equal protection.
It is far easier to criticize from the security of our computer
screens than it is to have to make the hard decisions that serve the
interests of the entire campus community. What disappoints me the
most is that little has been said regarding the needs and concerns
of our students, that all members of our community hold in trust. I
hope this changes. It's it's a good statement to be honest, as a
as a reply. Right? It's decent statement, but
it just points back to the inability, I would say, For
liberals
to set any boundaries, right in the middle of liberal set any
boundaries, and the boundary that will get set is the loudest most
emotional person. That's the one who will set the boundaries. Okay.
And that all points to the hadith of that when the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the sign that a society is
ruined is that children dominated. The children are dominating the
society. Right? They are the essentially shock collars of the
society. And one of the reasons for that is that
they are the most loud and emotional, right? So when you
don't really have any rules, the one who will win is the loudest
and the most emotional, right.
Hamlin University Board of Trustees wrote their own
statement, recent events have required us to look deeply into
our values. We are beautifully a beautifully diverse community
committed to educating students. And sometimes that means we need
to make space for hard conversations. This is one of
those times we are listening and we are learning. Hamline
University Board of Trustees is actively involved in reviewing the
university's policies and responses to recent student
concerns and subsequent faculty concerns about academic freedom.
Upholding academic freedom and fostering an inclusive respectful
learning environment are both required to fulfill our mission
basically said nothing. Right. Kara statement says in a belated
response to the incident America's largest Muslim organization, Kerr
said it discouraged the display of image of the Prophet while also
noting that the academic study of ancient paintings depicting him
does not by itself constitute Islamophobia. It constitutes an
honest anomic practice. It was not as I'm phobic I wouldn't believe
it's it's honest, nomic practice. Kerr added that it had seen no
evidence that Erica Lopez the professor had bigoted intent,
right or engaged in summer phobic in the in the classroom.
Care said we never hesitate to call out Osama phobia, but we
never use the word SM will be a lightly. It is not a catch all
term for anything that we find insensitive, offensive or immoral
or under slamming for example, I'm adding on this limb to determine
what constitutes an act of anti Muslim bigotry or discrimination
we always consider intent, actions and circumstances good statement.
He continues. Although we strongly discourage showing visual
depictions of the Prophet we recognize that professors who
analyze ancient paintings for an academic purpose are not the same
as Islamophobes who show
Such images to cause offence. Based on what we know up to this
point, we see no evidence that Erica Lopez acted with
Islamophobic intent, or conduct.
Academics should not be condemned as bigots without evidence or lose
their positions without justification. Kerr also expressed
support for the Muslim students at Hamline and encouraged schools to
consider the prospective students who argue that displaying
depictions of the prophets I send them in classrooms is harmful and
also unnecessary. Given they represent a small and late stage
part of the vast history Muslim History of Art.
Care encouraged school officials, academics, students and other
others involved in the situation at the local and national level to
re examine the controversy with open minds and pledge to do what
it can to help resolve the conflict. Islamic artwork and
iconic iconic iconography dating back to early Muslim history
centered largely around calligraphy and geometric designs.
Because of the scholarly opinion that limited discouraged or
outright forbade drawing of living beings, especially prophets and
other figures whose images might be subjected to idolatry. No image
of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam were drawn during or anywhere near
his lifetime, the vast majority of Muslims therefore consider this
sacrilegious and offensive. It's not offensive. It's haram. There's
a big difference, right?
Differences like we're not judging by our emotions. Yeah, like if
it's a people, that's offended. Yeah, exactly. Thank you. So
offensive, if I allow you to do is something's offensive, it's, we
open that door. There's no way objectively to predict the future,
right to predict what I should do in the future. Right. So
offensiveness and our culture, and our ethos should be based upon a
reason. Right? You shouldn't be if you can't just be offended. I need
to know what the rules are in dealing with you in the future.
That's why you I don't deal with such people.
Because there's no way for me to predict which way this what's
gonna what's, which way this is going.
Yeah, and that's kind of the question obviously, is, to me, it
seems odd that I don't remember what the topic of course was. But
one of the things that made Islamic art, unique and distinct
from all of the arts was that it didn't use imagery yet, because of
this specific idea that imagery, not just at the prophesy sound,
but human imagery in general, was generally discouraged, especially
in sacred places like masajid, and things like that. So we, to me, it
seems weird that that was her focus. And again, I agree with
your your, your position on this on the specific issue, but it's
just speaking strictly about her focus on showing images of the
prophets on Sunday him. It seemed weird that that was her focus,
given that the vast majority of Islamic art, right Islamic history
has nothing to do with imagery. This is this is actually what
separated us from Christianity, right? It's hard to find even
exactly, if you are going through Islamic literature, if you are
living a Muslim life in the ancient times, for centuries on
it, no one in your country will have ever made an image of the
Prophet Right. Right. Like in Egypt, nothing is ever recorded.
That anyone ever did this.
anywhere anywhere in the Islamic has Islamic sites, and massage it
or even don't find anything. Yeah, so it seems to me a little bit a
little bit weird that that was her focus, because that's true. Just
like what's it's like if I go to you know, study Christian art and
I talk about like line calligraphy?
Like it's not so that's hilarious. So that's a great point. That's
why we have
one second break.
Ryan will talk to you about the ArcView classes today and tell you
how to join ArcView etcetera, etcetera.
So more
recent news is that we've opened up telegram group as well as
people on YouTube have seen the link is being passed around for
telegram group, where in which we will
give updates on all the Safina society operations going on.
Specifically, the soup kitchen, the most valid they could night
class classes from daata Fett youth classes, kids dhikr nights,
and other programs, special programs that are going on. All of
these pictures, videos and updates will be sent into this telegram
group. So for those who are interested in joining, the link is
being passed around YouTube, in sha Allah to Allah and some of the
group chats and you can join that as well.
As information about the live stream, for instance, today we
started a little late. It would be beneficial to be on that chat so
you can know that we're starting a little late.
So updates on that live stream or when a guest is coming on that
will be posted on the telegram as well.
As far as our view tonight's classes are very nice, masha Allah
to Allah. Four o'clock Dr. Shetty will be reading in the same place
he'll be reading.
Hadith from Imam no always shut on Sahih Muslim for an hour from four
to five arcview.org I think that's ArcView plus class.
After that we have Sheikh Salman teaching chef Are you thick
he's continuing from last term. So now they're in Quito, Salah. And
then after that we have what is it torrefaction marine fish or Java
Tauheed which is a member jewelleries Shara Joe hereto,
hereby Imam, Ibrahim
Lakhani, this is very important book And subhanAllah
I went on the class, I didn't see many students on there. And I was
talking to Sheikh Osama. And I was telling him you know, people must
not understand the importance of talk Fatima read, and giocato head
in general, because this is very important class. So I recommend
everybody who is curious about this that makes sciences or you
know, has been wondering about the depths that our tradition goes
into, you should really register on arcview.org.
It's equal to the price of like one coffee.
But instead, you could get your phone at it. Right? What is
obligatory on you to know, we probably spend like 60 bucks a
month on coffees that's being generous. So to look at our
view.org. Our view basic is $10 a month plus I don't know what it
is, maybe it's 35 or $40 a month or something.
A lot of these classes, they're not large groups either, so you
have time with the mache as well. You have the WhatsApp contact.
When you join you enter into the group chats. There's always q&a
Going on Subhanallah I mean, this Maliki fic our view chat, just all
day shake how to win and Dr. Shah do answering q&a questions. So I
highly recommend going on because some of these questions that we
have,
like somebody was asking today about their daughter, whether
their daughter, you know, it was it was a pretty important
question. I'm not gonna go into the details of it. But hamdulillah
was answered within 10 minutes of being asked these types of
resources, we can't take them for granted. We can't overlook them,
because they're literally at our fingertips nowadays. As Habib Omar
says that every advancement that comes in our life, it comes with a
spiritual wisdom and a way that it can be used for clarity. So we
should be using these devices that we have for quiet and inshallah
Tada ArcView is a is a means for that. So lastly, again arcview.org
and register to catch those classes that are going on today
and pretty much daily.
All right, thank you very much, Ryan for that last news article
the day.
Ever heard of magic Nawaz.
Maajid Nawaz was someone who was an extremist part of some
organization may be the left organization or something. But his
views were pretty
varied, very strong and ultra conservative and we got to get the
kofod and we got to build an Islamic State.
He then
got I think he got jailed or something. He got traumatized. He
swung so far the other way became a hardcore liberal to the point
that his views are outside of Islam
hardcore. I mean, he was aborted, essentially.
All the while, though,
causing a lot of fitna in the community, creating Quilliam
Quilliam Institute, Abdullah Quilliam was one of the sought of
Hain first Muslims of England, right. So the organization that he
started, really is a disservice to him, because Abdullah Quilliam was
a pious, Sunni Muslim. And they opened this Quilliam organization,
whatever it's called. And they started
putting out these papers and having these conferences with
If arguing for things that are complete Kofa
Well, apparently now, he's come back to Islam.
And some people are saying, Oh, well done, we don't trust you.
Because you change your opinion. Now twice so far, you went from
being he's a bit too heavy, I think it was his bits IDT or
something like that. And then you swung to now being from doing a
hardcore liberal, that's basically I'm going to Ted almost.
Good. Yeah.
And then,
which, by the way, some of them
are fine. Right. Some of the thinkers are okay. Right. Most of
their meetings,
most of their discussion in their discourse, quite to be quite
honest with you. I don't like it because all they end up doing is
arguing about Qaeda with other Muslims. Not establishing could if
right, are coming close, then they haven't answered the simple
question of where would you start your Khilafah?
Aren't all countries taken? Right? So their thing is, no, we would
convert a general and that general would do a coup.
And we'd start the cut? If
so then why are you talking to me? Go talk to some general good luck
finding a general who's going to obey you. And then hand you the
cut off after that.
It's so far off. But Majid Nawaz, then because he changed his view
twice. Now he's Sunni Muslim Now, apparently. And a Sufi people are
saying, I don't know about you. Right? Because we don't trust you.
But they're like, hold on a second, you guys just give
entertain a chance you're given entertain a chance? Why not give
him a chance? Right. And obviously, that's the case.
Because yes, entertain may be what he you think whatever you want to
think and find I'm not defending anything that he has ever said or
done.
But we do not see his history of going from view to view to view to
view.
Yeah, so he may have been one of the most foul people in your view.
But was he consistent upon that? foulness? And was he honest?
Because if he was then now as a Muslim, if he submits to that and
he observes the same consistency, same honesty, that's good thing,
right? St. What did I always been saying about Kyrie Irving?
I don't believe anything that he says, Kyrie Irving became Muslim.
I'm not celebrating this, because every other year, Kyrie Irving has
a new kick every other year, and lo and behold would happen. He
announced himself now I'm a Universalist. Not even a Muslim
anymore. Okay. Whereas there was another basketball player who's on
the Celtics number, who's one of their top players on Jaylen Brown.
He said he's a Muslim. Did we go see him with an entourage to go
break his fast making all sorts of attention? No, he just became a
Muslim on his own. Right. So the question to me when someone enters
Islam is is about it's not about their past. It's about do they
have a track record of consistency and honesty in what they're doing?
That's what you look for. So Majid Nawaz has a track record of
changing his position a lot on major things. That's the reason
why we hold it's going to be like, Okay, let's see where this is
going. And also, isn't there like the factor of like, Florida? Like,
it depends what it was based on. Like, if it's if he can make up
for it based on disrespect to the province. Yeah, it's like harder
to accept them back. Yeah, that's like, you don't really come back
from that type of thing or magic. Yeah, like if someone can make
cool food because they did magic. You're not really coming back from
that. And the reason is that black magic requires to
do sanctify the Quran. Black Magic. There's white magic, and
there's black magic white magic is a Kabira. But that is using Muslim
gin to get your goals across. That's a major sin.
Black Magic, that's devilish stuff.
That you're dealing with the Devils of the jinn. And you have
to de sanctify you have to to desecrate Islamic symbols. For
those of you who don't know, Nawaz was invited onto a podcast by a
prominent Muslim YouTuber last week, and expressed interest
before going on to talk about his shake.
The invite was subsequently rescinded.
Oh, he was invited onto a podcast but it was rescinded.
But that was not stopped has not stopped speculation that Nawaz may
have changed his old habits of
targeting Muslims and Islam, Nawaz. His comments also
immediately led to a backlash with prominent Muslim activists saying
that he should not be platformed under any circumstances, given the
damage he has done to the community over a long period of
time.
This subsequently led to a loud minority of Muslims who have been
attacking Andrew Tate for several weeks, due to the Haram things he
has said and done in the past crying hypocrisy from the
rooftops?
No, I don't think they're the same at all. Not similar. Satan almost
wanted to kill the Prophet. Is there anything worse than that?
Right. But he was always whatever he had his mind on. He, he
achieved it. And he didn't flip flop. So when he came to Islam, he
came with that power, right, that strength and that consistency.
Someone who flip flops enters Islam. So if Islam is your third
choice, like you did three different things, right, four
different things. And now Islam is your fourth thing. How do I know
that you're not going to be on your fifth thing in another year?
And that this is just a pitstop? Like it was for Kyrie Irving.
Right.
But I think the difference between the two examples is at least this
point, at this point, that Tate has been a Muslim for only two
months. Nawaz was born Muslim, but has made a career from bashing
Islam befriending some of the most critical anti Muslim polemicist
like Sam Harris, Douglas Murray and has openly professes disbelief
in the foundations of the religion. No, I disagree with him.
That's not the issue. It's not that he was against Islam.
It's that he was always changing his position. He went from being a
hardcore Khilafah to none like liberal, and now he's a Sufi
Muslim. I don't know about this, right? It has nothing to do with
me that he was against Islam, was saying Ahmed was against Islam.
And doesn't matter if these days born Muslim means almost very
little, because you could be born Muslim and not know a thing about
Islam, and then come to hate the culture that you're in. Right? And
be the worst person against Islam.
Okay.
The question is, how many times do you flip flop? Okay.
Right. If there's any good comments, we could start merging
the comments in about this subject in case someone has a good opinion
here.
Or a good take on this?
Well, we don't know. That's the thing. But what do you have a
track record for? Flip Flop? Right. But it's his mic on? It's
not on him.
His mic is on. Okay.
It's the flip flopping.
Right. You have two kids, one kid is very consistent in hating
dieting.
Skittles, I'll eat ice cream, I don't care. The other kid has a
different diet every week. Every month, he's in a different fat,
different phase. Then the unhealthy kid who's been unhealthy
for 10 years.
says, You know what I'm done with that I'm going to be healthy.
Which one you have faith in? I'm going to have faith in the guy,
the one who was consistent,
right? Who knows how to follow through with something despite all
the hardships, I'm not going to go with the one who had a closer view
to me, but he always flip flops, right.
So whereas tape may have made serious mistakes from ignorance,
or even just being an evil guy, Malcolm X was he said himself his
nickname was the devil was Satan in jail, right?
Ignorance or even evil?
All right, and and may still engage in activities that
practicing Muslims could never endorse.
Okay, in which case you should be public. Correct. Publicly
corrected. Nawaz has outright rejected elements of the religion
with the knowledge that what he's doing is covered.
Okay, I still disagree. It's not about that it's about is a flip
flopper. That's what let me say this clearly, by no means do I.
And by the way,
if Nawaz ever wants to come to the public again, he needs a campaign
of apology for what he did a public tilba Just as you publicly
led so many people astray. You owe the Ummah
that you want to be part of and get arts. You love art. That's the
problem. The God loves attention.
He went an apostate did the Liberals clap for you for five
minutes? Right, then they kicked you to the curb when they didn't
need you anymore. Right now you're back with us.
We'll give you eyeballs. That's why you know that because he's one
of us. He's a Muslim, you know that you're gonna get eyeballs
with us. That's the suspicion that people have that because
literally, he was getting rounds of applause and money from all the
Liberals for years when he was doing his anti Islam stuff.
Life moved on liberals don't care anymore, right?
Hmm. Now when you're irrelevant, now you're back as a Sunni Muslim.
So it gives people reason
to raise it to question the issue if he wants to be taken seriously,
you should give back the money that he got. Oh, thank you this
man The institute says wrong or it's no the your repentance is
alter the bylaws of the of the of the Institute and the views of the
institute. Fire all the people that you hired if I don't even
think that things running too bad. You guys know money. Yeah, he's
got no money. He's got no attention. He's been on the
fringes, he's been completely. You see these, these ex Muslims,
whatever these are, they go, they get you get clapped for like a
circus clown for five minutes, then you're done for they don't
need you anymore. Okay. So if you're someone who craves
attention, and your filter of decision making is attention,
you're going to come back. That's why people are suspicious, like
Mike Tyson
because of hassle.
Right? That stuff that he does is publicly sinful, right? If I'm in
the legal category of Mike Tyson is facile. But why do people love
him and the muscles love him? Because the guy never flip
flopped. He never was a righteous person that became a festive, he
was a Kapha.
And then he became Muslim. And he never really got to practicing
everything perfectly. Right? Or even? Well, right.
But his belief changed. But he went up. And he stayed there. He
plateaued at that level.
I love the guy. As a as a as a guy who became a Muslim. He never
spouted or he never went and put himself out there. Right? He
stayed as he was. Right? To a degree, maybe he left off certain
some things. But what I love is that the that he never went down,
and he never flip flopped. Okay? He always said them almost let me
never flip flopped on that. But he also never advertised a false
product that I'm a pious Muslim. Look at me. And let me tell you
this about Islam. Without us. He never speaks about Islam.
Just went on camera. So Right. And he never publicized that. That was
someone took that picture. He didn't take that picture. Like he
never even tried to publicize it, or be a Muslim, or even be part of
the community, in the sense of I'm your leader, I'm here, I'm almost
never even tried any of that.
There, he's he did nothing in the same breath that in the same way
that he never did anything that would make him an example for
Muslims. Likewise, at the same time, he never did anything to
cause us to to be disappointed, right? It's not like he went and
was a good Muslim for like, 10 years, then he quit? No, he just
he just went up a notch from a Kaffir. To a Muslim, who practices
a little bit to me, you went up in your graph, you went up, right?
You never went down.
And he's been consistent on that. He's not a guy who I see change in
his views and opinions every two weeks.
So the author here says the author whose name is
Jamal Mohammed, he says, I do not but let me make this clear by no
means exonerate for some of the things he has continued to say,
after his conversion. But this insistence that he can't he that
he come out and make public tilba Seems a bit too much, oh, it's
still too early, give him some time to marinate. And by the way,
he's going to jail. If there was if we could just determine a sign
of someone's acceptance, right, of divine acceptance. For your
repentance, the best thing you do is to start paying the price and
to be removed from what you were doing, right? If he's genuine, I
want to change my ways and be good with God. Now God is going to make
you pay the price, whether by conspiracy, by lies, whatever it
is, it doesn't matter, you're gonna pay a price for what the
stuff that used to do, and get purified and maybe learn and get
humble and spend some time with the Quran in jail. I think that's
the best thing that could happen. Right?
That to me is the best thing.
Jail has done so much for people who would never would have
contemplated otherwise or been humble, Be humble a little bit
too, right.
If you're going to represent God, and you want to go this route,
because he's not like Mike Tyson, he is telling people how to live.
Right.
He's going to he's telling me people how to live. You're in the
moralizing sphere of things. Now as a Muslim, you have to moralize
as a Muslim.
You're not going to be just admitted into that for nothing.
You got to get purified. You got to go learn you got to spend you
got to be buried for a while. Right? Go spend 10 years in jail.
Five years in jail. Seven years in jail, be buried, be ignored. Face
that music, test your sincerity, all that you gotta go for it.
Can you imagine a Muslim now coming? Hey, I'm the top M, right?
The top G, no Muslim talks like that you want to now be involved
in Islam and submitted to Allah and telling people how to live.
Now do it right, get cooked, be buried, right.
So that's why I think for him, the best thing to happen is go to Joe.
Personally, he says I'm intelligent enough to separate
what tait has said that I don't agree with from things he has
said, that makes sense. And keep in mind that he converted two
months ago, not two decades. So the bar I have for tonight is that
of a two month convert, which is pretty low. In a year, two years
beyond the expectations will change. Yeah, I would give it five
years. Right. Seven years and probably the best thing for him
just to go contemplate and Joe have a complete transformation.
Stop saying this top gene nonsense. Yeah, it's funny. Okay.
It's cute for two seconds. For 18 year olds for seven year olds,
right? Plus, you're how old is the guy, entertain 3839 Help us grow,
it's time to grow up and act like if you're gonna be a Muslim. Act
like a Muslim, right?
You gotta read this era. I wonder if you and someone given us a
book, we need to give him that. We need to give him the sudo book and
he needs to get the links and bsu.org/links and Good hit convert
links. I embraced Islam 15 years ago, says the author, Jamal
Muhammad, and much of what Tate has professed to doing in the past
drinking and weaponizing. I also did, I took it took a couple years
for me to get together.
Okay, so I think we need to do a balance on both sides don't look
at to Tate as a role model as he still has lots of room to improve.
But don't also be harsh, so harsh that you put demands on him that
we never put on another public personality that embrace the
faith. Again, I have to you have to separate between T and other
people became Muslim. He's in the moralizing world he's telling
people how to live.
That's not Mike Tyson. That's not any other convert. Who can stay
below the radar and be it be a celebrity in their world, but
below the radar? In the Dow world? Tate. If as a Muslim, he would be
in the Dow world. Right. You're in the because he's in the moralizing
spirit. That's what he's teaching people to do teaching people how
to live. So that's why for him
it's a precarious situation. Right? Because his career is
telling people how to live. Right. And those videos, but now you're
Muslim.
converted those a very small window where people were like,
Okay, what is he gonna do? Yeah, Continue, or is he gonna? And And
honestly, him being pulled out of that is the best thing for him.
That's what I'm saying. Like, it's because, again, like, even with
Muslims, many years of looking up to him. Yeah, it was, for me
personally, it's problematic, because there, she who's spent
decades and, you know, 1015 20 years studying before they come
and talk to the public. Right? And, and we're supposed to be
taking them far more seriously, than we should ever take somebody
like Tate and he simply converting within a week of running, he's
back on his podcast back on back on, you know, hosted by this
person and that person talking the same way he was. And I also think
he has a very skewed idea of what, like, what appealed to him about
Islam was not is not what should have
been the driving factor. Yeah. For me, it's like that continued sense
of organization and all these things, honestly, I'm not
sure you can do that. But that's the should be the driving factor
of well, you know, if that foundation is going to get tested
over time, that's when a person converts the foundation of their
conversion has to be strong if it's if it's weak, you either
correct it or you will collapse and leave Islam this guy to me
and just just my opinion, he seems to be a guy who is a black and
white guy and when he makes a decision he's gonna stick to that
decision because he's one and said things that are outrageous and
faced enormous amounts of backlash. So he seems to me a guy
who when he makes a decision he's making that decision.
That person you can easily deal with them and the way I would deal
with such person that said, Are you claiming to submit to Allah
then go submit to Allah
Zipit and pay the price? Right? If you want to talk in public on how
to live, go pay the price. Okay? Exit stage, right?
Learn. Humble yourself. You're not a musician, who we could say okay,
just take your time, whatever because you're not in or an
athlete, whatever. Take your time, whatever. Because your public
persona is not linked to Islam know your public persona is linked
to Islam, and is linked to telling people how to live. You need if
you're going to do it
and you're going to submit to Allah.
You're a tough guy, right? The cage and the Octagon and MMA,
Allah is tougher than you. All right. And he's put you in a cage
right now. Right? He's tougher than you don't mess around, go get
educated. Go pay the price. So I wouldn't have the hesitation to be
harsh with him. You're a tough guy. So take it, right. And I say
that with with a good intent. No, not like I'm putting him down or
anything.
Okay, I agree that much of what he has said is unpalatable to me as a
Muslim, but just because he has said things in the past that
cannot be Islamically justified.
That doesn't mean women are being abused as a direct correlation.
I'm not even gonna get into that whether they did that or not. It
would be like and by the way, it could possibly be some powers that
be just want to shut him up fine. But doesn't matter. You're going
to end up in jail. It's probably still something that's good for
you. It would be like me saying men get taken advantage of by
women and extorted monetarily. Because Cardi B said that when she
was an escort she used to rob men when they were unconscious, and
because she has stated this proudly, and she is influential
amongst some young women in the West, she is to blame for the
actions of others I would I would be interested to see the
progressive types, how would they react if Cardi B became a Muslim?
They would celebrate it no doubt about so their filter is not the
purely objective filter. It's slanted and we're all slanted but
you got to have the right slant. I wouldn't do that because making
the correlation is absurd unrealistic standards blah blah
blah
All right, it's a good it's a good article and that leads us now to
our our comments section right you need to give me the inshallah the
you need to give me the Instagram comments today because I left my
my iPad at home 10 We're Institute is here by the way, we're gonna
have 10 weird
if it's a DC it will be called the Tanveer Institute, but the 10
Weird Institute. I wonder how Jason's are handling this? You
wrote 10 We're with a w. and Sheikh Omar Popo, you are from
Pakistan.
Oh, he's Afghani. Okay, well sugar more Publix come into our program
soon. And if you don't know him, you will because if you're a
Virginia you could benefit from him
All righty, right if you have something
let us know. But suffer you get the first comment suffer.
But many interviewed him and said nothing to contradict his. His
ideas they were harsh with their sisters suffer said.
It was disappointing seeing all the Muslim men in the Dow was seen
support Tate really hurtful. You just support that he became a
Muslim, he did what he had to do. You have no choice but becoming a
muslim, Yanni.
That's the divine submission, or the divine call to submit. So we
applaud that he fulfilled his obligation
just as anyone else would. But beyond that, he doesn't get an
endorsement of any kind. Good.
So far, it says, take time off social media. Humble yourself.
Thank you. That's it. I would say you're a tough guy. You joined a
religion that has standards. Don't tell people how to live their
life. Don't bring up Islam don't claim to represent Islam. Don't
don't do any of that stuff. Go and,
and humble yourself to this lord and this creator. take knowledge
from where it was come from.
And after many, many years, Allah will call if you're sincere and
true and you change your ways Allah will change the hearts of
the people towards you and maybe you can contribute after that.
There is no issue juice says if people learn about Islam through
him being the catalyst, so be it. We had a shahada through
interfaith we did. We had a shahada
you know, a lot.
Yeah, there's a lot. Yeah. If listen, if Cardi B became a
Muslim, Muslim, and she I love Islam, and but she's still doing
her, her whatever her career, and now all these types of girls who
dress like her who do the same things like her now all of a
sudden becoming Muslim. All the mosques will be celebrating this
because there's a liberal slant. Okay, like what she's doing
is is as Haram as anything else, right? But the world that we live
in, has a liberal slant to it. So if you all
compare things to the opposite.
Maybe that someone will say, well, she isn't hateful towards men or
hurtful towards men. Okay, fine. Maybe that's the case.
Maybe that's the case.
Diddy says, converted in the 70s. And he started speaking publicly
last time until that late in the 80s 90s. No interviews, no talks,
who was she's talking about? Yusuf Islam.
And he wasn't even in the sphere of Dawa. He was just an
entertainer. Right? And there are many, many, many people in very
public spheres, who become Muslim, or take on some different views,
and just continue that view under the radar. And they continue doing
their thing, whether how that or how long they keep doing it.
Right. So.
But again, I bring you up the issue is that he is in a sphere
that talks about morals, how to live, what a man should do what a
woman should do. This is the sphere of Islam and revelation.
That's the difference. Okay, how many slots and Gina should I
recite for abundance? Abundance? 100 is good.
When I saw the interview of Tate with Piers Morgan, the way he said
positive things about Islam and on such a big platform, I think
nobody talks about Islam in such a proud way on a big platform says,
oh, Millennium. I didn't see that interview.
But
Ibrahim says another solution for tonight is to go on a spiritual
journey live in Mauritania.
There is some glory in that though.
But jail.
Jail
because jail gives you no option. Right? I can take pictures of
myself with the chef, right that my ego just goes up right? Jail.
None of that right.
I've been Neil's he's glad he's out of social media. When his
chick Rami coming on the stream says Sophia, he is coming back.
But we don't have a date yet.
So far, it says men suffer. You know the Egyptian way of saying
his stuff up with a Hamza suffer. Many Muslim men were his fans
before he converted. They subscribe to this ideology.
Chocolate Wallace says I don't know of anyone in the Dallas scene
that condoned his behavior. They did welcome his conversion and
rightfully so.
Tahara says when women revert they are more stronger than men, in my
opinion. Melody says Tate's nefs is very strong. True. Dino
palabora. He should go to Teddy, you know, we don't want him giving
heavy vomit a bad name.
Right? Jail, jail. I'm telling you. Jail makes you think it makes
you humble and makes it should at least Mike Tyson said jail was the
best thing for his life. Big question is, will he still have
the following? If and when he really starts following Islam. His
views will change drastically if he does things right. And I
guarantee he will not have the same following. Guaranteed.
There's women all over his pictures, there's music, there's
glasses, there's cars that are absurd. There's smoking there's
drugs.
That's what gets him the millions of views. Right. And when people
say oh, what he did Imams couldn't tell you because Imams can have
Ukrainian girls all over the couch. Right? That's why these are
these are cheap views.
Thank you. That's how it works.
If Cardi B converted and so continued they would question her
Islam, but she would she'd be Muslim.
There's a lot of celebrities in here in the US. Yeah. Particularly
black celebrities that are Muslim that are not practicing at any
level. We don't. I don't think anybody goes around questioning
their slang or just kind of considerably like okay, he's even
Shaquille O'Neal's supposedly Muslim. Yeah, Shaq doesn't go
around, like, pretending to be something. That's why he could
take as long as he wants doesn't matter. He never speaks about
Islam. Right. He never speaks about Islam, nor is he a
representative of Muslims. Not like he didn't come to misogyny.
But by the way, he did say that he was a Muslim. Yeah, right. And I
think he went on Oprah one time.
Shaquille O'Neal.
sinead o'connor became a Muslim, after a traumatic end of her life
or second half of her life really bad. Dave Chappelle became a
Muslim. So all those though none of them are in the sphere. That's
close to Tao. Do what you want to be as slow as
nobody questions. I don't think anybody would like to be with
them. I don't think anybody would. If Cardi B became Muslim, I don't
know, Santa.
Right?
The thing is the difference, the two factors we're bringing up is
number one, are you in a field that that is related to Dawa, or
Islam? That's number one. Like if, if a professor
of Islam,
non Muslim professor of Islam, and they say a lot of things that are
kofler and haram, and the question a lot of things, now he becomes
Muslim, it's gonna be a different spotlight than if a professor of
biology becomes or a professor of or someone in technology becomes a
Muslim, right? It's a different spotlight. Okay, if a biologist
becomes Muslim, there's a spotlight, what are you gonna say
about evolution of the human being? Right? So that's the first
factor. The second factor is the track record of the person. Is he
a flip flopper? Right, and that's what we said about Kyrie Irving.
It's not that we question his is a slam I question his character, his
persona, his total personality. Right.
You know, his total personality is unstable. His stability is when I
questioned Maajid Nawaz. It's not even that he was he said bad
things about Islam said Omar wanted to kill the prophets Eliza
it's not that
it's that his emotional stability is in question. Is he just going
to leave this Malaysia I think you know, he has a Malaysian shake
now.
Let's see how this goes in five years.
What is the meaning says Sofia VMR shall have genuine incentives to
document time for human appetites similar to or different food
items.
If you want to go out in space, this means go You won't go without
Sultan Sultan is knowledge and the permission of Allah great
knowledge.
Some people said the verse says you'll never live in space. And
the if you if you want to go out then go is almost like
it's not permission. It's like sarcastic hyperbole, you'll never
go Oh Go Go ahead. Like that. Others said no. It is possible.
But still don here means great knowledge. And Allah knows best.
We'll see if Musk makes a space station out there or not.
Use of Islam is actually one of the trustees Alonso central muscle
use of Islam, to be honest with you. Did it right.
He quit on the spot when nobody would have said he had to write.
We all are agreement when if you're in a Muslim and you're a
non Dawa sphere and non dower related space nobody's gonna sit
there and say stop doing what you're doing immediately right now
but he was very sincere with it. He quit on the spot
many stars saying there's someone else very recently became a
Muslim, but they continue to sing.
Is there any etiquette on what to recite or to do when moving into a
new house? Yes, there is. The first thing is the event and the
comma and Salah and preferably if you could each prayer, each prayer
in a different room to spread the event and spread the FM and press
read the salah.
Others have said something that is a sunnah to which is the Wakita
that will Kiera is after you settled the house you invite the
community and your friends and your family and members of the
community and some of the foot caught up to the house for food.
It was at the too soon to do. Some people say if the house was
abandoned,
then go around to each room and announced that you are you are
moving in soon and see permission for any of the Gen who are living
there to leave. Some people have actually said that
you moved to a new place. Was it abandoned though? Okay.
That's good.
When is Sheikh Abdullah Hakim Murad coming on the stream that
will be the come the the
the collab of two styles, two opposite East Coast and the
opposite side of the pond. Right Could you please put his name on
the I'm gonna have to get polite
I'm gonna have to start being polite and eloquent. Alright, let
me let me practice how would I have used to
circumvent hecky morons on the stream? I'm gonna have to become
well mannered and mature. Okay, I'm gonna sit with my back
straight.
Good. What makes even students who stay with automatic stream?
Do you think that there's a problem not just with students,
but with the teachers as well, some want them to stay in the
group but not guiding this question by ABCDEF. I would say
that
if a student if a chef has many, many, many extreme students,
there's a problem with the chef. If the sheikh has one
extreme student, and everyone else is good, then it's the student.
That's the problem.
I'm assuming by that
I'm assuming any kind of extremism in behavior Yeah. And also maybe a
she's ABCDEF is talking about students who, who are extreme in
their attachment with the shape. Okay. Like they're too much with
this. And I don't think that that's always a healthy thing
how much wood juice is asking?
Which car
Sofia says I've been off social media for two years. And
Hamdulillah I only go to Twitter once a week to give my posts some
support. Thank you very much. I have been actually so
disinterested in Facebook.
Yeah, I don't write posts anymore. I feel like I should write posts.
But I don't. I don't know why. Firstly, this is my new thing.
Where I like this a lot more. But also Facebook itself
has become so difficult to open up the app.
There's a million things going on. Right. I think they did a terrible
job. My personal thing.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah. I just feel no
yeah, there's too many ads. I got this. This post. Yeah.
Because
it shows like why it shows up on my feed. This is because you liked
a relevant page. Yes.
Of course, because I liked the post from a relevant Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, what happened with me was that I kept seeing fascia in my
thing.
Yeah.
I, I had initially converted my personal account from years ago
into my business. Yeah.
So I ended up like, before I went and actually I wanted to practice.
Let me see how I can lead myself on social media. So about a month
before Amara. I removed like, 600 people I was falling. I brought it
down to like, 150. Yeah, I just kept it. Very close people that I
follow on Facebook.
Yeah, I didn't even I didn't even notice that. I wasn't
six days. I had for some reason seen I was on all animal.
Yeah, like hunting. And then I said seen Steph Curry. There's a
page just for Steph Curry's shots
and highlights. So I liked that. But the people who like that also
like, follow women's like images fascia. So then the algorithm
lumped me into that. So when I went down and I unsubscribed to
all the sports pages that I was on, then I stopped getting the
women. So that's basically now you know, the algorithm. Manado Zeki
says, What's the medical opinion on scholars such as Tamia, we have
the Medicare if have basically nothing to do with Ibn Taymiyyah
he is a scholar of the embellies and he has many many, what we they
what the shadow will consider blunders and appear to things that
he said about the attributes of Allah subhanaw taala which would
suggest to should be hinted seem and his FIP is for the hunted but
only in the first place because his premise is that somebody will
soon then his Akita
is also that which is against the Russia IRA. So we ended up having
does not appear not once in the Maliki curriculum, not once except
it they may contemporary books may reference his epistle on the
amount of edited Medina and they say it's very good. Now when we
say that on fic it's almost like mmm no, we also doesn't appear in
the medical curriculum. If you're a medic, you will not study the
fifth of Imam no Will you study his shot of Hadith? But you will
have nothing to do with the FIP of Imam in no way that doesn't take
anything away from that. So I'm not taking anything away that the
that the FIP and the fatawa have even Taymiyah may have excellent
you know, fatawa but has nothing to do with the Maliki's or the
Shafi is where the Hanafis so how to make a 38 year old 38 year old
man love Deen what's a good starting point for someone who
doesn't feel drawn to Islamic knowledge or a bad at all? They
only pray five times a day friends your friends if he can become
friends with anyone who has a masjid going person or Masjid
going group of people only a few questions left
Asscher
is kind of in endow because his work in Africa which he doesn't
even bring about us as a musician right
sinead o'connor got made fun of so badly by
Hannah Montana.
Because she she's she had like, you know, Hannah Montana. whatever
her name is right? I know her as Hannah Watson.
But I felt I really felt bad for Here you go you're at the top of
your the get your game and you're gonna put down and trash a woman
who's had such difficulty in her life.
Right? To me, she's trash. She's the one who's trash.
Yeah.
Mike Trout is here. I guess. He's not playing baseball today. I was
raised Muslim, but I went through an atheist phase as a team. Allah
guided you back and I have missed prayer since Yes, make up those
prayers.
Make up those estimate the number of years and repair those prayers
two times a day.
Okay
what is the difference between a Sunni and Shia Hadith? And can
Sunnis accept some Shia Hadith?
Shia as in like twelvers they don't use the same system of
internet as the Sunnis do. So we don't look at their Hadith Taro.
You don't even look at him. Emptying the cup with a really
nice logo there. says, And one of the collection of among the Shia
that are said to be collections of edited baits we don't look at
their Hadith at all. Full stop.
There's the word ignorance in the Hadith that says every sin is
committed by an ignorance means overtaken by your desires. Yes,
ignorance meaning if you were to see the amount of damage that you
are doing, when you commit sins, and you still do it, that's got to
be ignorance. That's what it means.
There's only one way to settle this dispute between Tate and
Cardi B becoming Muslim is that cardi B's got to become Muslim? We
see.
Making a snowman is it permissible for kids? Yes it is. Kids may make
snowmen
even adults because that's not something that could ever survive
or will but an adult Yeah, they wouldn't do that but they can help
their kid make a snowman. That doesn't mean that because kids are
allowed to play with statues.
Use of says how to explain to people who raise question on that
prophets of Allah is and will forget stuff such as Quranic
verses, retake your shahada, because the prophets I send them
part of Prophethood or prophecy in Messenger ship is that they are
capable of perfect to believe
otherwise Allah would have chosen the wrong prophet.
A sit while a man what to believe will fatahna for conditions by
necessity they must be the most intelligent class of people. They
must be honest in what they say their past track record is always
honest. In sit
Amana is when you're given a trust, you keep it. The fourth
thing is that the ability to transmit the message. So there's
Why would anyone say they forgot versus if the prophet lost
something, for example, or forgot something of the dunya.
That is not anything to do with of the Dean
Didi says, you mentioned in a previous live that there is no
marital *. Since consent is at Nica
as a term
as a term, but there could be abuse of course, let's say a woman
says I'm bit tired, and he just gems himself. Right forces himself
that's we could say other, it's harm. Right? You're harmed her.
Okay, but it won't be considered * because * is when there is
no consent and you force yourself and Zina.
So, you owe her a dowry, the going rate of a dowry and you get
lashed. And if he was a married man killed, because had Zina okay.
And the requirement is not for witnesses to witness *. No. If
she if secondary evidence is enough, like she runs right away,
and accuses him of *.
And someone eyewitnesses it good. That she that she did it right
away, not eyewitnesses, the *. I wouldn't witness that she went
right away.
There was distress, followed by pregnancy. So you showed distress,
you showed pregnancy? Good.
Or there's bruises. And so there was distress, you immediately went
and you have bruises. Now what is not allowed? No distress. You
didn't go right away. And then you came months later and said this
pregnancy is as a result of * or I have no evidence but I was
raped months ago that's not going to be accepted.
What age does youth and 40
What about the Hadith of the angels cursing a woman?
Yes, the Hadith, the angels curse the woman who is banning
or disallowing the men to come near her after having agreed? And
that's not because she's tired. She's just not doesn't want to
she's using it against him. But you have agreed he got married. So
that's against the purpose of marriage.
One more question, unfortunately,
semi all Muslim data. I saw one guy don't like shake Jacobi for
having guys and girls in this sheet
that's a comment.
All right.
Please like the stream for us. And
you can make it give you notifications. So that you can
know as soon as we're streaming again. And the last question is
what are the the COVID? What is the types of Cofer refuted in
Susan Atlas? The first type of Khufu refuted is that Allah
subhanaw taala is composed of parts because it says what to
allow had he is one in himself that means His attributes are not
divisible.
Okay. Allah has summit he has he possesses Elena and remotelock
Absolute independence that means he would not be dependent upon
anything time, space, materiality, the laws of cause and effect he
does not depend upon anything.
Let me read William Hewlett, he is transcendent beyond time and has
no offspring does not produce an offspring nor was produced by an
antecedent. So that means he is existent infinitely by necessity.
Okay, and it's transcendent beyond time. And what a miracle no one
had and there is nothing like unto Him. So the attributes of created
beings, he is transcendent beyond that created beings are on a
timeline, they have a beginning, they have an end, they are in need
of cause and effect, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Okay.
Those are the COVID Qasim is asking from Instagram this about
the stream Yes, this stream
is public. And this stream is every day at one o'clock today
there was a traffic problems a parking problem. So that's why
it's at 130. But otherwise we come at 130. What's the question by Mr.
