Huge issues and problems in villages and hint unfortunately.
Right? Which is really bad really bad religion Hindu what's going on
what they're doing to the Muslims and hint okay.
Is going to be a battleground no doubt about it for the OMA going
forward in the future. It's going to be a battleground. And it's
going to be it looks like it really going to be like a genocide
type of operation in India which is really bad
I really feel bad for the what's going on and
I'm not gonna say that they should move but
there's I don't see any outlet right? They're not gonna get any
justice. The strength or the capability they don't have the
strength capability numbers nothing. Right. So they should
almost move. Yes, me. But I mean, you can't just tell people to go
move. You know
can just tell people to leave their country
All right, Mr. moolah. Rahman Al Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu
was Salam ala Rasulillah. He was
the he was a happy woman while I welcome everybody to have them but
Facts. Today is Wednesday. And we're talking about the affairs of
the Ummah affairs of the OMA extremely important because the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said malaria DME be awarded
and Muslimeen for this lesson. In Hadith that means that is not
completely he's not completed his snom properly. There's a
difference, like a defect in this person's Deen that's what it
means. It doesn't mean he's a calf but of course, it just like Min
limb
or if for example,
lace m&m LMU Corona where himself Iran? He's not one of us the one
who does not have compassion to the youth to the small and honor
the old or law you may know I had a buddy Okay, he may have NFC
province I said him said you'd not none of you believe until you love
for yourself. What you love for your brother. It's
doesn't mean he's a calf but it means his Eman is incomplete and
lace him in that means he's not fulfilling his rights to the
Ummah, to the Muslims, he's not fulfilling his hook lays a
minimum. That phrase, he's not one of us means he's not fulfilling
his rights, so we should re fulfill his rights. And today,
before we begin, we start with our
sponsor sponsors and our partners. Firstly, Mecca books.com.
Alright, if you are interested in any theological topics, you go
straight to Mecca books without thinking, and you will find books
there that have been vetted by the automat and that are set to go

going to look at professors one to one.com If you're interested in
if you're interested in a tutor, or you need a tutor, or your kid
needs a tutor, or your kid is struggling in math, or he doesn't
know how to do the SATs. So you go to www dot professors one to
one.com or
you say to yourself, you know what I'm going to do I'm actually going
to support there's nothing but facts live stream rather than just
benefit benefit benefit and only just take take take take take and
never contribute but you could actually be part of getting the
job of this operation by keeping it [email protected] backslash
Safina society, right patreon.com backslash Safina society is where
you can actually benefit from this and
and give benefit to this operation by being a patron. Okay, if you
want to take any of our classes, you could do [email protected]. But
today, we will start talking straight about the issues
happening in below dill hint, which is I'm reading and read two
from the New York Times. And it's getting really just terrible in
India. So a girl was raped pretty badly. Subhanallah but this time
at least they they they arrested one guy so one guy took the fall,
but she was raped 13 times so go explain that. How they will
upwards in the bloods like an unbelievable situation. This girl.
She just gets raped many times. One guy gets arrested. So let's
let's read the story about this Muslim. I mean, nobody cares for
these people.
All the Muslim nations are handcuffed.
Right? They're all handcuffed because they're all on the hook
financially for some to some nation or other. Okay. We're in
Laylat. Poor familiar with all for your India or Pakistan.
So let poor you familiar with that. Okay, up what's up? Like one
of the northern states, what's it called? Or just province?
Which Don province are some good. So in up law, that poor loop, you
loop up luck now. I know that I'm familiar with that. There's one of
the automatic names and looking at a 13 year old girl is raped.
Okay, again and again and again. While she's in the charge of Uttar
Pradesh Lal at poor.
Okay, when she had gone there to register the complaint, she goes
to register the complaint, she gets raped again.
The teen alleged now she alleged okay, but but in the light of all
that in light of all this happening in India, I tend to
believe it. Because all the stuff that's going on and to the Muslims
of India would make you believe that what she's saying is true.
She alleged she was raped by four men. I said 13 times I met she was
13 years old. But she was written by four men. I confused like her
age. In the meantime, she got rid.
And then she went to the police stations of our complaint with a
relative.
All right at the station house, the station house officer to look
that he settled.
He was arrested because he then raped her she went to compile the
complaint to him
and he raped Well, obviously, we can believe her because he got
arrested. So there's must be some evidence. Nobody just gets
arrested from just to claim especially a cop. All cops posted
at the police station where the alleged where the legends in his
take place have been removed from duty because every time there's a
crime, there are people who witnessed that crime and they did
nothing. So you're
as guilty. A Di G. I don't know what that means level officer will
investigate the case and file a report within 24 hours. The F IR
another acronym that we don't know what it means, filed by the girl's
father on Tuesday stated that she was lured by four men and taken to
Bhopal on April 22. Where they raped her for four days. Wow.
If the accused then brought her back to her village and dropped
her off at the police station before escaping, wait a second.
You * a girl and you drop her off at the police station that
doesn't add up doesn't make any sense, does it? The accused police
station in charge, then handed over the girl to her and the
complaint stated, adding that she was called to the police station
the next day to record her statement. Why would you drop her
off? Then ask her to come back to record your statement? Why don't
you take her statement right then and there?
This whole story is weird. Next day,
the accused official took the girl inside a room
in the presence of her aunt and raped her in front of the girls.
And
how bizarre is this story?
I mean, do you notice that every step of the story makes no sense.
So they lure her they take her far away. They prefer four days. Oh,
then they have the courtesy to bring her back to her and to her
town. Not only that, they bring it back to the police station, which
that makes no sense. Then the police station delivers her to her
aunt and says oh, by the way, come again tomorrow to fill out a
complaint. How does that make sense?
And then she goes to fill out the complaint then in front of the end
they raped her again.
Okay, the girls ant
has also been named
as someone accused. He found this on your phone. You have it on your
story. Okay, you really? Okay, maybe you got something else you
can read it to us. But so the girls ant is complicit. Now the
ant is like a mother and aunt supposed to love her niece. Why is
she allowing that this girl be raped so Lylat poor police said
they have charged the official for *.
And under the protection of children from Sexual Offences Act
I don't know India had such laws but they have one. He's charged
the sh Oh, I guess
the whole article is acronyms that they don't name, which is just
like terrible journalism. That sh O is suspended and he is named
criminal. So
so we have formed a team to arrest him and NGO brought to the girl
brought the girl to my office. She had given them the details after I
was informed of it I ensured that a case was filed, said the police
chief of knowledge poor Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi
slammed the state government and said the alleged * incident
shows how genuine Law and Order reforms are being suppressed. In
the noise of bulldozers, the gang * of a 13 year old girl she
says inlet poor and then her rate by the police in charge when she
went to file a complaint shows how genuine law and order forms are
being suppressed in the noise of bulldozers. If police stations are
not safe for women, then where will they go to make complaint?
She said in a tweet. Okay.
Anonymous says this only happens in up is it like a bad area up up
is like the sensor of like BJP, it's the Hindu where all the Hindu
stuff, all of that Hindu stuff savage stuff is going on there.
Alright, so that is a weird
we go to good.
This is really weird. The whole story is really odd. You know, why
would the n be involved? Right?
So this is very interesting about like the structure of the police,
like I think up is so I'm gonna be reading there's, there's an
author. Yeah, his name is Ashutosh. He's a Brown University
professor and he wrote a book, okay, ethnic conflict and civil
life in those and Muslims in India. Okay. Right. And is one of
his Theses that he's writing like, that he explores is the concept of
whether like, you can define this as a riot or something more
serious than a riot, the term that they're, they're using.
So there were riots in India, like the past, and I think like early
February, March ish. So he's saying that these riots are not
simply riots right there. On every level higher than that, right,
it's pogroms, okay. Which is a special class of riots when it's
no when it's no longer simply a clash between two mobs or groups
and said the police are siding with one group either by looking
away or by betting and sometimes even directly participating in the
violence. So that's what's going on. That's what he's, what is he
calling it? It's pogroms, pogroms. Yeah, this is what happened in
Europe. And this is what's happening now. So he
explains like the idea about the police structure in Delhi so
I think it's somewhat similar to how we have police structure in DC
like Delhi is a very so, he he says Delhi is a unique structure
for police operations and every other part of India the police
report to the state government and not to the central government
because law and order is defined as a state's subject by India's
constitution. But Delhi's police reports to the central government
not to the state government, technically Delhi is not full not
a full fledged state somewhat like DC okay. The the fact that the
central government is led by the BJP would therefore make Modi's
government responsible for law and order in Delhi
administer the capital directly Yes. So you're dealing with you
are under whoever's in power right. Oh, that's why you report
directly to that I say there's no state there's no there's no state
goes straight to the to the federal straight to the federal
Oh, gotcha. Okay. Well, that's how it always say is like Satan Ahmad
was the Emir of Medina. He was the word of Medina as well as the
belief of the entire ummah.
That's usually how the capitalists know. Yeah. And but the government
the capital that exists currently, yeah, no, it was this BJP and
power Modi in power there. It's obviously not very sympathetic. Of
course, of course. So that's why up is all happening. It's all
happening in there. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So let's see if this one is
on up. So now the question is someone saying, we know what's
going to happen in the subcontinent? Why do we need to
discuss it? But not everyone knows about subcontinent. Like, if I
didn't do this episode, I wouldn't know about the subcontinent. Like
I forced my this episode, this, we do this on Wednesdays, it forces
me to read about what's going on. That's number one. Number two, if
a wrong thing happens, and no one says anything, unless that's the
first way that everyone's going to get away with it. No one pays
attention, no pay attention. So in the absence of having power, to
change, something, is making noise about it. All right. And we even
have that from the theater, the prophets, I sent him a man was
abusing his neighbor. And there was nothing like really criminal
that he was doing. He couldn't take them to court. He couldn't
change him. So what did the prophesy said to do? So he said,
Take all your furniture out of the house. If people say, What is
this, because it's odd, you have all your furnishings outside your
house, so you're catching the tension? He said, Then say my tell
them, my neighbor is abusing me. So get attention, and then tell
everybody. So there's an absence of being able to change anything,
you have to talk about it. But also, it's from the end, if you
were if you were oppressed, would it at least make you feel a little
bit better that the rest of the room was talking about you? Right,
at least feels a little bit better now, but they might not know but
Allah is watching, and he sees what we're doing. And we're having
concerned with the affairs of the OMA. So as bad as it is good, but
you but you got to see what kind of NEMA that we're in. And we'll
kind of fit into that there. And because they're bearing the brunt,
and so are the Palestinians. So are the Uyghurs and the Rohingya
Ian's and Kashmir, it is their Kashmiris are getting fired on
with with the type of bullet used to kill animals, which is the
bullet that sprays because let's say there's an animal, a couple of
animals coming at you are one big one and you can't really you're
afraid so you won't shoot properly. So they have a bullet
that actually explodes in the air. And and
I think Birdshot it's a bird shot. Oh, maybe it's some use for birds
too. It just fires it sprays like a firework. They do that. And what
happens is it inevitably blinds everybody. People get blinded by
pellets to little lead pellet. And they're actually poison. If you
get like lead pellets that are left in your body, that the lead
seeps out terrible that it's poisonous. That's what they use on
the Kashmiri Muslims. So he's had people blind, you know, like the
number of people were blinded is really hot.
What are you gonna say? Yes, it's also like, almost a point of the
self as well, like, how are you going to? How is your heart going
to ache for the for these individuals? If you don't, even if
you don't read their story, you have to read their stories, right?
You got to see what's going on and make like deep sincere advice for
them. Yeah, exactly. You're not moved, you're not moved, because
you don't know what's going on. Yeah. And yeah, you got to be
moved in, you got to know the details of what's going on with
them. And sometimes it may be gory details, but that's what's going
to, you know, move your heart. And I don't even believe in this, this
way of talking about him
anymore, the old way of student of knowledge and worship or whatever,
and he goes into a hut for five years and comes out to me, I would
really consider that to be very damaging in a number of ways. Like
the first way is that
when you do that, when you come out, you're going to be so
disconnected from everything else. You're gonna end up spending
probably five years catching, just catching up with how the world's
changed around you. Secondly, all of our nearness to Allah is out
In this day and age is not by a lot of a bad, it's by a kedma.
And that a Beretta that we do that thicker that we do is supposed to
help us have the patience and the suburb to do kedma. Right. That's
really what it is. It's fueling us to purify our intention and have
the patience to do this service to the home. We're not going to be
elevating in ranks in this day and age because of a lot of a bed.
Like our I bet you'd be washed out by one of our sins, just one sin
today. So gross. It'll wash out half of our wealth and our food is
tainted with a river. Right? Who knows if where we are foods even
coming from? Even if you did due diligence, you never really know.
There's always going to be something you consume. That's bad.
Everything around us. So yeah, we do a lot of a Betta, but what is
the function of our worship, to purify our intention, and to fuel
us with the subject of the patients? Okay, and to bring news
down to ourselves that we could share with others. That's the
whole point, the whole, the OMA is in dire need of sharing at this
point. Right away any resource that you have, it's all hands on
deck. So that's idea of when we when we're calling for a path of
three mocassin I am salute and Dawa. We seek knowledge, we have
spirituality. And we do Dawa. Part of that is being in touch with the
different facets of the OMA. Right? And what we can control.
Right here. All of us we can control is we can post stuff
online. Anybody could do that. It's the least but it's the one
most everyone has. We also have hunted out with this soup kitchen.
Every Wednesday we're meeting absolute strangers, non Muslims.
Absolute, by the way, just to show you as like a sign of, I guess, a
good sign. Spanish guy walks by today. Big smile on his face. And
he gives me a fist bump. Right?
I guess he's been here before, right? So he likes us. That's a
sign. This guy is a complete stranger, who would have reached
him for Islam before this. And we don't do any explicit data. We do
zero explicit dough. It's all implicit. We're not getting in
people's faces. But they know we're Muslim. The one thing that
we are is we're outwardly Muslim. Sometimes Ryan's wearing the job.
Sometimes other people are wearing thobes You're right, you were
thrilled for the dinners, right? Sometimes, right? Whatever it is,
Be natural.
Yeah, we knows and we're not It's not orchestrated, it's just by
naturally and as a principle, we are open about being Muslim. Why?
Because at some point, we were doing this dower for like years,
given out the food, and some guy thought we were from a church. And
I was like, after all this time, he thinks we're from a church.
That's not good, right? What's the point of all this? Right? It's not
like he didn't know what we're about. He thought we're about
something opposite of what we are. So we're like, alright, from now
on, we got to wear, so some mark of Islam. So that's what we do.
And so we do have that sphere of control. We do have the local
Masjid mbyc, where we're headquartered where the youth need
help them. Like the the public school youth Islamic school, youth
homeschool youth homeschool is probably the safest ones. But the
Islamic school youth are they also need support. Public school youth
need even more support. Because when you see them come in, they're
like a fish out of water sometimes, right? And I can just
tell from my classes, like the basics are not being transmitted
to them. They need support, everyone needs support college
youth, so all of our students have to be there, or they gotta be
contributing in some way, shape and form. So we're studying and we
have vicar nights, and we have all that and antique F and all that
stuff. We have to be right away involved in these three facets.
And for the Ummah at large, our fast our action on on that front
is the most passive, it's essentially just reading and
having a feeling in our heart and making a dua for them. So
we read all these stories every week. Yeah, bring up. We read all
the stories every week. And obviously, to a certain extent, we
can normalize to it. We don't feel as much in our heart. Yeah. And
part of that is also the stories are so distant from us, we also
lacked feeling and that sense of also like from these dimensions,
it's hard for us to connect emotionally with them.
And even perhaps on a spiritual level that it becomes difficult to
connect on a spiritual level as well. Yeah. So what are some means
are some ways to remedy that. Alright, so that brings up a good
problem. So sometimes you you look at one step of action that looks
like the right step, but you just you know, for sure it's going to
produce the second problem. All right, what you just mentioned,
I always look at it like this.
You don't you can never get the full
solution to something right away. Rather, what you do is you
eliminate the biggest problem. You worry about the secondary problem
later. So what's the biggest problem is not even talking about
it at all. Right? Like no mention of it at all. That's the essential
problem. So the worst thing you know, in a country could ever do.
And you know, this in history from World War One, World War Two is
fright on Eastern West, you cannot fight two enemies at once you only
got one enemy at a time. So that's how I always look at it. So what
you're saying is 100%. Right. And I haven't really thought about
that, because we're just on the issue of removing the first issue,
which is having no concern for the issue at all, or no mention of the
issue at all. So
we can discuss this. And we can see what people say about it, too,
in terms of, if we keep reading the stories we read about
Palestine all the time, we get sort of
numb to it, it becomes a norm. Right? And how do we handle that?
I think it's no different to Nicholas. When we make the law,
the law becomes the norm. So why should I feel any school? sure
when I'm making a law, recitation of the Quran the Quran is like a
norm to you. If you hear the Quran, you're like, wow, what is
that right? Well guess who else said that said I'm a Christian
deke. Bakr Siddiq said that he loved to watch the new Muslims
hear the Quran for the first time. He says because he no longer has
as a veteran Muslim. That same like all likewise, when you have a
baby, and he's discovering like ants for the first time, it's fun
to watch them discover that but you have no, it's not new to you.
Right? Same thing with as, as a teacher of Deen discovering When,
when, when a kid or youth discovers like method for the
first time, or vicar for the first time, the joy at a certain point
is watching other people discover it. Right? So So you've have
developed in a sense that, yes, I may not be the one who's shocked
by it. But we can go to another level. I'm no longer surprised by
this stuff. But we could take this to another level now because now
we can influence others, we could spread the news to others. So
yeah, I'm no longer shocked that Israel is doing something to the
Palestinians or the
Indians, to the Muslims, the Hindus to the Muslims, but we move
on beyond that know, to be able to maybe expand our influence to MIT
to spreading the news to others. And I personally think that's
where it's gonna end. None of us are equal to a state the entire
country of Pakistan can do zip for India. And no offense to anyone
who's who loves their country in Pakistan. I love facts and I want
to go to Pakistan. I love the idea that they must invade a country
just for Mosul is built upon like Islamic Republic of Pakistan
that's what it's called right.
In Pakistan, Afghanistan. Afghanistan is more like if you
hear about like what's going on on the ground in
western Pakistan Yeah, these guys are very strong. Yeah, but except
that I don't get the idea that us fly into Afghanistan and check
into a hotel and hang up right but I do get that she can't do that
right. Doesn't work like that in Afghanistan, but I get that from
Pakistan I can probably go in there call a friend. Hit up a
friend at WhatsApp Hey, you know anyone who could show me around I
can meet up with someone have dinner I guarantee you if I
stopped in Pakistan right now, drop me anywhere in Pakistan. I
could put out a message to some friends Hey, I'm in XYZ city. You
know where I could go and issue any circles and within two hours
I'll be with somebody one connection away. Right one degree
of separation away will be going to a dentist go into a meth Masjid
go into a restaurant in one day. I don't think that's the case in FX
and Afghanistan unless you know someone at Fremont I think it's
different between East and West Pakistan yeah East Pakistan is
more like developed you would have an easier time like it's like a
city like let's say go to like New York or like going to a foreign
city like Paxton right? As Eastern PAX East. Oh, Eastern Pakistan is
like Pakistan like more than mountainous area you're going into
like the way the push to an ethnic push through and people are scared
of those guys. Those guys are.
I don't want to mess around with those guys.
You need to have a guy you need to have someone like hold your hand
and take you around. Where was I invited last week? Last Last Molad
season I remember it was
Yeah.
Pitch shower. I was invited to the shower. And it was a fish shower.
Right You gotta go with somebody as if it's some other world inside
of Pakistan. Right? And they're like, Oh, you get you can get shot
right you can get killed you can get kidnapped. Right. So push our
I think was a big deal. Right. But I I've always said I want to go to
vaccine first of all, number one
If I want to go to any Islamic country, I want to go to the old
district. I don't want to go to the modernized district. What's
the point? So if I'm gonna go to Pakistan, I don't want to go to
the big cities. I want to go to the shower like areas. Yes, yes.
The areas where it's old fashion, right, where things haven't
changed as much. That's the joy of it. Right? See, my dad actually
was what you would call it.
When he retired and my mom retired, then that ended up
circumstances for made them moved.
They ended up moving to Qatar and they joined the on the dual
cutter. So they joined the,
I think cut the Red Crescent that ended up moving down to Kashmir.
After the earthquake. My dad was an engineer. My dad was like
management. And my mom was a physician. I mean, the Red Cross
Red Crescent is the opposite of the Red Cross, basically.
It's a relief. Yeah, it's a relief.
It's
a relief organization. So they end up going there. And my dad ends up
managing the building of a pedestrian bridge that was
destroyed the building of it. And my mom treats patients. No
electricity, no running water.
Right. And you had to go down into Pakistan, to get your supplies and
come back up to customers to that village of Kashmir. And my dad
said he will go down every day.
And there would be places in this area. And he would get a piece of
the bread. Nan, I guess. He said this thing was made. Like the
wheat was from a farm like two minutes away. It was made right in
front of them in a in the, you know, they put the bread against
the wall of an oven, right? And it's an old guy doing it. And then
he puts like straight ghee or butter. Butter, I guess right?
Ghee is butter. Right?
On top of the stuff. He says it's dripping. And then the tea and
dark Chai first thing in the morning. And it's cold. Like the
weather is cold. you're exhaling and the vape you know, like it's
coming out because it's so you're in the mountains
and hot piece of bread, hot piece of tea hot cup of tea. And he said
he down the hole. None. Right with all that butter. And the tea is
like that was the best, you know, breakfast that he's ever had.
Right? Straight cultural stuff, right? No.
You know, processed foods straight. And he said you work so
hard. You burn off all that stuff. Like you're gonna work so hard
during the day and walk and stuff. What's so funny? Like, we were
having f tauter in, in the hotel room and these guys just take a
can of tuna. Yeah, put the tuna on the ground. It takes some bread.
They take some cheese, and it's just like, Oh, that's it. That's
it. That's it. There's a lot of buck in that kind of eating.
Listen to this. Maliki quick says call the people to dinner with a
gala horn and horned Viking Helm. So rope, the Viking food.
Scandinavian food. What are they eat?
What is Scandinavian food? It's like gefilte fish or disconnect
filter fish. So you know it's like fish you know this year about the
Western Pakistanis that right there's some I think that's gonna
lead from Pakistan and us we met some of these you know, like
Western Pakistanis from like zero dawn and the shower. Yeah, places
like that. Yeah, he's like these guys are these are the Vikings of
Pakistan. These guys you these are the hardcore it's a hardcore.
Yeah. You don't mess with these guys.
No, you don't mess with these. These are the olds. This is like
borderline Afghanistan. Right?
The people on Eastern Pakistan are scared. Like that's yeah, that's
how it is. Yeah, these guys are holding it down. All right. Now
check this out.
Perpetual violence India's dangerous new pattern of communal
tensions. As a national campaign by right wing groups in flames.
Local tensions. Muslim communities are facing the harshest
punishments according to activist analysts and retired officials,
okay.
And they have this being written by three Indian three Hindus are
the authors of this in the New York Times. Cardon, India, the
authority sent bulldozers to the small city in central India within
24 hours of clashes between Hindus and Muslims. That turned into a
mob fueled rampage so the authorities are siding with one
side of
Their citizenry against the other.
What how far off is it to say to people move to Pakistan?
Ridiculous rent. It's, it's ridiculous, right? Like Indian
passport. Yeah. Even Pakistan may not accept it. Right. Okay.
Visa issues and all of that is just as difficult. Yeah, the visa
issues. You have to deal with the consulate, the consulate,
sometimes to there's some such practical things like you have old
family, family members that you have to take care of, and they
can't move the idea of moving them to
the Hindu said stones had been thrown from the direction of the
mosque
where Muslims were breaking the Ramadan fast, so they let him
break the fast with one hand and throw stones at Hindus with the
other hand. Hard to believe but let's continue. The Muslims said
the Hindu procession had moved towards them with provocative
chants. Aren't these people fasting? They're tired? Right. You
think they're going to pick a fight while fasting? Before any
official investigation or court ruling the whole Minister
Madhya Pradesh appeared to fault the Muslims and order demolitions,
no court hearing nothing. Ordered demolitions right away. So they
are the police, the judge and the executor,
executioner the same Swift's one sided punishment imposed in two
other states over recent clashes. Now you throw stones at someone
that's an assault, bring it to court so the damages get paid in a
lawsuit. Right. No, the the government's getting involved here
and saying the houses from which stones were pelted we will turn
them into rubble. Okay, says, Narayan Mishra. So this is
basically a pogrom, essentially. Okay. Pakistan has to get
involved. What is going on here? Like Colossus? Or is Pakistan? Is
Pakistan completely handcuffed that they can't even do a thing?
That's what it seems to be. Here you bulldoze in homes.
Right? I think just geopolitics is like changed in the past, like 50
to everyone's hands. It's like, you can't invade you can just walk
into another country anymore and be like, Hey, this is like, you
know, it was normal. Back in the day. This is like an invasion. Are
you for us? We're declaring war on you. Yeah. Bring out your
warriors. We will fight your warriors. Yeah, we defeat your
warriors. We don't have your country. Yeah. Now wars are
completely changed into number one, they involve non combatants.
Right? This economic warfare, economic warfare. No, but also
even like physical warfare now also involves 100% combat 100%
This is This is weird. Entrepreneurship is historically
speaking, this is weird. And number two, it's you. Your country
can't defend its sovereignty. Like it's in the case of doing so it's
okay. Now, if, for example, there's an argument to be made.
I'm not saying that I would support this argument. But there's
an argument to be made that Russia invaded Ukraine to defend its
sovereignty. Yeah. From the from NATO being on its borders, by the
way us initiated this whole thing by them. So yeah, but it's now
like people are how can Russia do this? Shocked? How can Russia try
to like preemptively
the US preemptively like sending drone strikes, like Iraq,
Pakistan, Afghanistan, ridiculous, totally ridiculous. I mean, it's,
it's an anomaly. Like everything has to be coded in this layer of
peace. non violence is a lie. It's a complete lie. It's a facade.
Yeah. But like it's also Pakistan also has its own internal issues,
right? Yeah.
Imran Han, and oh, it's been going on got drama. Can you come over?
We need to get you a backpack over here. So they don't have to keep
turning my neck. You know what, we're going to concede that on the
camera anyway. Right. Even if you are we'll put a camera here. And
then we need to get himself back Jack. Well, they always are fuel,
making sure these countries Muslim countries are stuck in their own
drama. Right? busy with their own drama. That's the problem. Now
this is this communal tensions in cargo, New Delhi and Gujarat, and
the demolitions that followed, and each are part of a worrisome new
pattern. according to analysts, activist and former civil servants
in the past, such classes
were off were usually set off by a local issue and remain contained
to a single area. For example, the Gujarat riots of 2002 1000 died.
Okay.
Because when Modi he was the
This happened when Modi he was like the governor of the state of
Gujarat. Okay, so this was like he's still local guy. At that
point. He was the guy that was like, supposed to be the governor
managing. So there was a lot of I think there was a trial actually
against Modi. Yeah. For being responsible for these for this
massacre. Wow. That's, that's some of the backdrop behind also Modi
becoming another like this guy that had a trial against for being
like genocidal, or, you know, like invoking these sort of rights that
led to the massacre of 100 feet or 1000 feet. So he has a track
record of doing this. You just have like a little bit of a
tracker. Yeah. The recent violence the
most widespread communal tensions in recent years played out across
several states, multiple classes with the same characteristics and
one sided punishment. And they are rooted in the rhetoric of right
wing groups at the national level that are targeting Muslims through
provocation, a campaign emboldened by the silence of the country's
top bleeders. The concern is that classes will become more frequent.
It's going to be essentially a pogrom. The nationwide
provocations by right wing activists, which spread swiftly
through social media inspire local groups are increasingly turning
religious occasions into political events promoting Hindu first
versions visions of India and Muslims as second class citizens
when the recent tensions spilled into violence last month,
authorities in those places rushed to dole out punishments that fell
disproportionately on the Muslims and circumvented the legal
process. After clashes in New Delhi demolition mainly of the
Muslim run shops and kiosks continued for nearly two hours
after India's Chief Justice issued in a halt, bulldoze or souped up
tea stalls and ripped out staircases that left a family
stranded without a way down. They destroyed the walls of a mosque
before stopping short of a nearby Hindu temple. Officials in these
in the three states justified the raising, by the way, I think, at
this point, difficult to not do gotta find a way out. You can't
live like this to demolish in your homes. Right? Officials in three
states justified the raising saying that they're going in,
they're going after illegal encroachment. But the timing along
with the speeches suggests a link to the clashes, blah, blah, blah,
I fear that we are in a stage of perpetual violence says awesome
idea, a researcher who studied a rise in Hindu nationalism, and the
Hindutva social media 24 hour news mean that to Hindutva groups,
which are now very tech savvy, grafted into local context, a hot
button issue. Right. And that sparks you know, these reactions.
In an open letter to Modi, more than 100, retired senior civil
servants called for an end to hate and vigilante violence, that
vigilante is a state sponsored to, I would say, and that they reason
they're sending it to Modi. Yeah.
Yeah. How's he going to stop it? If it's not like seat seat spot?
These aren't like state sponsored. They're sending it to you because
he has the power to spot stop. Yeah, of course, the but talking
to such an individual is a naive think, why would you talk to this
person, you know, that
this that this person is, has no care for you and he wants this? He
loves this, that what's going on? He wants this law, the
administration of law, instead of being an instrument for
maintaining peace and harmony has become a means by which the
minorities are kept in perpetual fear. Okay.
Another group of retired officials countered with a letter in support
of Modi calling concerns empty virtue signaling. What do you mean
by provocation and person says these are false allegations levied
by the perpetrators to save their skins? Hindus are the victims are
well, we out in the field, this guy into the victim's car gun has
a town of about 200,000.
Okay, has a history of small scale tensions, three quarters of the
population is Hindu. Hindus and Muslims share the same streets and
neighborhoods. Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. That's
it. We've read enough. It's all just repeating the same concepts
that a little clash occurs. And then the the Muslims deal with
that by one sided, you know, one sided solutions. All right, let's
open it up. We got time for about 25 minutes of open of QA, we could
do open QA, but we could try to, if we keep it to this topic, it
will be better. Let's see madaket Click what he says here. Pakistan
has to jump in and protect Indian Muslims or at least Welcome to
Pakistan. Like you got to make.
You know, whatever the politics is figure it out. Why is everything
so complicated? Like can't someone just say figure it out? Like
that's it? I'm making a executive decision here that any Muslim
who's who comes in with what they call it?
seeking asylum for their own safety from India. We're going to
accommodate them.
India is emboldened because the world is not reacting. Right?
Palestine wiegers. What are they doing? No one's reacting to India.
The way they're reacting to the Ukraine.
We are alone. The OMA is alone in this world with no helper except
Allah spawn what's on all those big beards that we're celebrating
that they got rid of?
Imran Khan is the big bearded senators, the supposedly Muslim
candidates and they don't like him. That's what that's what was
behind him right behind him behind the ousting of Imran Khan with the
big beards. So where are you big beards when it comes to this?
Right? Oh, you don't like Imran Khan? Because you think he's not
Islamic enough or whatever the reason that they want him out. But
this is the issue, right?
Putin invades Ukraine under the guise of him rescuing Russians in
Ukraine from oppression? Why can't vaccine use the same premise? You
got to get them out? Somehow? It's ridiculous. What's happening here?
Right? Things can't be that complete. You got simplify things.
It's so easy for any politician not to take any action by simply
saying, You know what?
It's complicated. Right? You have to, you have to distinguish like,
what's what's actually just in your head? Yeah. And like, what's
what's actually going on? Like in the ground? Yeah. And the only way
you can start to sip, like distinguish what's in the head?
Like, what's what's real. And what's just made up in your mind,
is by taking action by taking, you'll see, you'll see exactly
see, you see, what happens. Are they exactly 100%? This was
hindsight. 2020. This was in my head. And also, yeah, exactly. You
see the reactions of the world. Right? You see the reaction? No,
but sometimes people do something, they don't if they didn't do
anything, then you know, that was on your head, you will never
really know anything until you take action, and see that live
demonstration. But the question is, does Pakistan have enough?
Like, I think they're people are worried about Pakistan being
strong enough? Are they strong enough? Do you rather die?
Alright, Mohammed says it's very naive solution. It's more
complicated. Even if all the muscles were welcomed in Pakistan,
it will not solve the problems, but at least they won't be killed.
Right? Yeah. So again, it's trading two different problems.
See, that's the thing. You can't ever look for a solution to
everything, you got to look at your biggest problem and eliminate
that. It doesn't mean you're stuck, gonna have big problems,
still big problems. But at least you've gotten rid of your biggest
problem. So the biggest problem if you're a Muslim in the up and
you're one of these areas, you can be killed. Your home is destroyed.
Right. Okay, so I moved now in Pakistan, now I got other
problems. Yes, you do. We're not saying you're gonna have no
problems. And that it's a solution, the method, the best
method to be a pragmatist. and problem solving is identify your
issues, eliminate the biggest problem knowing it will result in
other problems, but they're lesser. So your net loss is less,
then you repeat the same methodology, write the same
methodology, with your new set of problems, eliminate the biggest
problem, knowing full well, it may cause other problems that are less
or retain problems that are less okay. And slowly over time, you
start narrowing them down, removing them one thing at a time,
one thing at a time. I mean, that's the way that
I think that's the way it's gonna work. Hindu minorities are not
exactly treated very well in Pakistan, either. It may be that
they're not. But if we're talking about the Muslim in India, who's
getting killed,
what what's happening, how the Pakistanis deal with the Hindus is
a whole nother issue. Right? We got one, it two wrongs don't make
a right. But also I'm not seeing them being bulldozed. Right? By
the Muslims. But okay, irrelevant for that. We're dealing with our
own law right now. Let the Hindus be concerned with their people.
And I'll advise the Muslims as a general, treat your minorities
correctly, right. This is like, this is like, you know, we have a
young kid. Yeah. Right. And then he says he, he breaks a glass,
like glass face, right? Yeah. And then he's like, oh, and then you'd
like you start to scold them, punish him? And he's like, Oh, but
your other kid? He got to be in his class. Yeah. What's that have
to do with anything?
undeleted. You don't like? Yeah, we do. Yes. Okay. Maybe he needs
to work harder again. Exactly. But you also need to, you need to be
more careful around the house and, right, exactly, exactly. You need
to you need to watch. It's, it's the, to me, it's the practice of
staying focused. Right. And staying focused means that there
are major issues. But I can't look at them right now. Right? Because
I have to focus on this. Right? We have to you so the issue of fixing
a problem is that there's a lot of theory around.
There's a lot of theory around it. But you'll never know. There's a
lot of thoughts and suspicions. You never know what's going to
happen until you take one step of action. Right. And
how many people is this affecting, let's say 1000 people directly
move into Pakistan in a year, right? Is that going to really
change Pakistan?
1000 people, you got 1000 Pakistanis moving to Edison every
year. So, every year right.
So,
how does one discuss this as Ibrahim Junaid amongst people who
could be offended over this? For example, you have a friend from a
certain nation committing atrocities but you want to raise
awareness.
I think I remember I was at a Yeah. This is Nui actually we had
wanted to use interfaith dinners. There's there's a, there's a
Jewish school that came there, like the activities were all the
teachers are on or whatnot. Yeah. And eventually it was lunchtime.
It was just so the guys were sitting with the Jewish students
from the Jewish school. They were the guys and the girls were
sitting with the female students. So
we said why boys are sitting and then, of course, you know, the
teachers aren't around anymore. You can have open conversation
now. Topic of Israel class, where did you go? Where was it? This was
in like, this was in the multipurpose room of iCj Oh, and
another school kid and Jewish school Jews who can make it? Yes,
yes. So this is like, after all the activities on like, there's no
everyone's like, we're all the teachers. We're now we're just
sitting for lunch. Yeah. And it's just, you know, it's just we're
gonna have pure, unadulterated conversation. Then what happened?
Of course, currently, topic of Maddie is there a bag of Palestine
comes up, right.
So I think one of the juices when he's like, like, so what do you
guys think about like Israel and Palestine? I remember so
distinctly. There's one killer and cause zero hesitation. He's like,
Yeah, I think what Israel is doing is wrong.
Yeah. And it just stopped. They're
like, No, no, no, bother for like, no, it's just wrong. Yeah.
One plus one is two. Why are we gonna say well, you know what,
from one perspective, you don't worry. You don't need to fix
problems. Like we try to act defensive. Yeah. You don't need to
like defend. It's this is
happening. Yeah, this is the fact that so a lot of people are just
naysayers hear the saying.
Go into Pakistan. Hashem says his MO Chisti. A solution through
Paxton wouldn't be a practical one.
Why not? I think it's one of the biggest things is like, okay, and
this is such a like, I think these topics have we tried it? Has
anyone tried it? These topics are practical. Like it's like, okay,
there's so many parts of it. Like, okay, do protests, for example.
Like this is another thing that always comes up inevitably? Yeah.
And is composition like, Should we be protesting? Does it matter if
we protest? It's okay, then some people will say we should protest,
even if we know the protests are ineffective? Because it's the best
like, it's like taking the ASVAB. And then Allah will reward you for
taking the ASVAB. And you will step in, in that case, right?
Yeah. But then there's the argument, like, why are you doing
something? No, you know, it's ineffective. Yeah. Here's the
thing. There's so many sides of this. There is but it's the
prophesy centum said manlam. Yet to be concerned. He did not say
whoever does not take in an action, right? We're transmitting
this concern to the next generation. How do you know the
next generation won't have the power, they might have the power?
All we're doing is transmitting the heart the concern?
And I'm telling you,
if Mike, you're let's just look at this very simplistically, or
simply not simplistically, you can make up complications, all you
want. If your house is being bulldozed in a country, you move
to the country next door.
Okay, now you're going to deal with the visa issues. What I'm
saying it seems like it makes sense. If I'm almost some country,
the Muslims next door to me, are being abused. I start open some
asylum. Why can the US have asylum? If you can come to us on
asylum?
I'm not promising you, I'm gonna give you a home and food, you go
find your own shelter, at least you won't be killed. Right? You're
just eliminating the greatest of all problems. And you're going to
tell me that adding
5000 people to the country of Pakistan in a year
is going to do anything I guarantee you more people are
leaving Pakistan, you just replenishing your population,
right? Perhaps even like another perspective is to just to move
within India to area that's a less go within India, wherever there's
no drama, right? It's less than it's probably there isn't? How
many areas that are like no drama, places that have less, you know,
like pandologic where my family is? Yeah, we're
like, I think
in an area we're in Bombay, so in the suburbs of Bombay, and in that
area, it's not 100 A lot of things aren't too difficult from Yeah,
right. My family also is like, is the middle to upper class so
Bombay is a safe area, if you're it's more multicultural,
multicultural because more multicultural than say perhaps,
you know, like a police like up which has a strict ideology. It is
it's more like an international city, you know, yeah.
So like moving within
The country's also that's another possibility. Another possibility.
Yeah. And they probably need money to move, we need to support them.
Yeah, there's gotta be some kind of charities to support just
specifically this cause I think I think what would be really cool is
like in the future of these episodes like we got for someone
from like, that knows, like the history of India like we have,
like there are people within our own communities that are like
closer to these areas of up like people from Hyderabad that have
closer connection to them. So we can probably next up, bring one of
these individuals on and have more of an open conversation. Listen to
this. Khadija says this is a very important question, right? I think
it will make more life more difficult for the remaining
Muslims in India because one of the issues they face is being
accused of being Pakistani stooges. This will embolden them
even more. Here's my thing about pragmatics and priorities. If
you're being killed,
and your family's home is being bulldozed. You at this moment in
time,
are not yet in the position to care about anyone else.
The perceived perceived, not guaranteed perceived ripple
effects. Okay. You don't have time to worry about that. Right? If I'm
being chased by a dog at this moment,
do I have
can I worry about anything else except saving myself from being
eaten right now by a dog or bitten by a dog?
A bear
a cow. Killer cows, the killer cows are coming after you right
now.
What you have to do is just focus on the one problem is facing you
directly you have absolute certain knowledge of this problem. How am
I react? My solution is going to affect Indian other Indian Muslims
is a maybe it's a it's it's speculative. Maybe harms and maybe
not. So what's more important, this isn't this is like Kadem
here. The what is known for certain cut they are the money
speculative. No, the company. Absolutely. We know for sure that
this is happening. So I go and I save my tail first. Right? And
then we'll see what happens after that. Right. So Mohammed says,
we've always taken people in, we took the most amount of Afghan
refugees. Thank you. So tell the commenter above. Okay.
That there's no issue, right? We've done it before. And here
you're taking people who are probably not not to, like sound
defensive or anything, but they will probably be fit in better in
the community than the Afghans. Right? Afghans have their own
language. They're ethnically different. They they're used to a
different lifestyle. India, is they're probably going to bring in
skilled labor to your country. Right? They speak English, they're
going to be able to open up it or something like that.
Right. Okay, next Helping Hand relief is providing the support.
Alright, good. Helping him. Thank you very much. Amen. jpg. All
right, I accidentally unfortunately, refreshed the
Instagram page. So
who? YouTube? Alright, so let's start to YouTube. I accidentally
refresh the Instagram page. So put your comments again if I didn't
read them. But mayhem says they accepted the Afghans. If you have
accepted the Afghans that worked, at least their lives are saved.
They live a normal life now they're immigrants. Yes, it's a
shot below. Living in your own country. It's better than getting
bombed by the Americans. Okay.
Mahesh Maha Rasta we don't have any drama here. We have Hindus
fasting Okay, so go to Bombay go to Maharashtra
big become a Maharajah.
Alright, let's go to Ryan, what do you have?
If Hinduism is all about reincarnation, and you break the
cycle by being righteous and caring and nonviolent, and how
does this square away from oppressing Muslims
tell tell them Muslims of India tell them I was a Hindu in a
previous life. And I've been recreated now as a Muslim because
I evolved up. I leveled up in this video game reviewers. They
probably view oppressing Muslims as an act of worship because their
their priests are promoting this. This is jihad for them. We are the
kaphas for these people.
All right, is to Alright, here's a question. If your more poor Muslim
neighbor runs to you and seeks protection in your house becomes
flooded for you to protect them. Thank you. Let's stop talking this
politics and academia and Talk Common Sense. I have a loaf of
bread. You're starving. I split my loaf of bread with you. That's how
simple the math equation is.
You guys are getting bulldozed. Forget this Pakistan. Let's get
Pakistan out of the equation. He said Bombay.
I
I'm a Bombay Muslim,
my up, Muslims are getting their homes bulldozed. We're not just
saying that they're being mistreated, they're getting fired.
Homes bulldozed. You Bombay Muslims take action. I'm sure
they're taking action, we just don't know about it right?
You got to bring things down to the simple. And I guarantee you
people who do not want to act, those are the people whose Oh,
it's complicated. It's political. Oh, there's many like the academic
who doesn't want to take a position on something. Else.
There's a lot of nuance. There's a lot of things to discuss. It's not
that complicated. It's more complicated than you think. All
right.
I hate this. This This created hardship. You creating difficulty?
Take action. Yes. And then you just take action based off. Take
action with us, right.
Danny Glover says are Amira Glover, maybe she's related? What
is your opinion? Are you related to Danny Glover? What is your
opinion on celebrating birthdays? Neither is it's like recommended
part of our D nor is it haram. But what happens inside of it may be
haram maybe Khaled maybe rewardable, maybe mcru. Like what
showing love to a Muslim is rewardable extravagance is
discouraged. Making people feel that they have to bring a gift and
spend their money
in a way that maybe it's hardship for them is mcru.
willingly giving a gift out of love for your companion is
rewardable.
Maybe creating envy and others. That's why we never really had big
birthdays for our kids. We just had the family and maybe the
neighbor or something and only for a few years. And then it just
decreased. But because some people are poor, in our communities,
we're not the secular types of communities where like doctors
only hanging with doctors. My family wasn't always religious
when I was growing up. And our crew was doctors with doctors.
That's all of our group was doctors. But once we entered like
Islamic community, I was looking well, there's people are for
driving like a terrible beat up car. I never we never hung out
with such people. But now we do. So we toned it down a little bit.
You don't have a big of extravagant party, when you know,
this is really going to hurt your other. Let's say adults with
adults, no problem. Okay, you're rich. I'm poor, no big deal. We
were growing up. What about their kids? What about the kids of the
poor kids families.
All right. And they're looking and they're seeing their equal is just
like them a kid like them. He didn't do anything he just born
into it is having big lavish parties. And we can't even afford
in will la had all the I knew a family. That was they were in such
tight straits financially, they worked in everything
that the kids would come home from school hungry, right, and they
would eat. But kids don't know how to how to ration food out.
The mom in the family had to put a chain lock on the fridge, because
kids would come in hungry. And they don't know how to ration food
out. They don't know that as a family budget, and this food is
gonna last for two weeks, until the next paycheck, eating all the
food. So she put a lock a chain on the fridge and the in the freezer
and a lock can open the fridge. And
with the opposite. So many of our families. If I said the food is
good, oh, it's a big mistake. Because Oh, this is this is great
food. Oh really take some work. Right? And it was Oh no, I didn't
want that much right? force fed some of our kids, right? Because
of the wealth, and other kids can't have anything. So that's
what you have to be very mindful about. So what did at the same
time it's like, you see the kids go into birthdays and talking
about birthdays. It's like, Oh, what is the birthday like, and it
grows in his head when it's not a big deal. So throw a couple of
cupcakes on the table. Put some candles up. Someone says Oh, it's
a pagan ritual. You can look that up if you're interested. If it's
not like one degree immediate pagan ritual. I'm not interested
in going down that route. Because then we'll say Oh, headbands, a
pagan ritual or ponytails a pagan ritual, anything you can trace to
a pagan ritual. So put some candles out a little cupcake.
Maybe if the kid wanted like a pair of Jordans you get him a pair
of Jordans right or something like that boom it's 30 minutes call it
a day done with his ago birthday every it's no big deal. Neither
have we went into some transgression or big deal and
neither did was it ignored so that it grows in their heads I'm very
it's to me it's very important that a deprivation has ever reason
in the Cydia disk or or in in life like phones, for example. I think
that there's a reason for kids to not have phones.
There's a even scientific reason behind that. But no moral reason
fine. But something that is not a hill worth fighting over, I'm
willing to concede it
within parameters so that I can focus my energy on the Hill that
is worth fighting over.
So oh, I can't have a phone and I can't have a birthday and I can't
go and have a sleepover and I can't do all these things, you
know, with the neighbors. It's too much you have to concede some
things in order to get other things.
Adam says you're always welcome to Pakistan, Lahore.
What's better Lahore, Karachi, or Pradesh was a cult? What was this?
Like?
Just like a city? It's on the ocean. Yes. It's like, it's like
New York. Yep. Usually what
is happening? Karachi. Okay, and what was the city that we were
just talking about? Shower shower.
Shower for US passport.
Morrow. Blanca says your family wasn't always religious grown up?
How did you folks become religious? I think they became
religious. Couple of things happen at once. Firstly, my mom, she was
a pediatrician. She always go to these conferences. And at that
time, gangs was a thing. Right, gangsters were very concerned.
joining a gang.
And then drugs. Actually, I did join a gang. This is our gang.
Right? We needed to be inside a gang. Right? But it's a
benevolent gank. So what the issue is, I think a number of things
happened where you had to MTV was a big scare for parents too. is up
to be out of business. Music Television.
Yeah, they're not. They're a non thing. But MTV was the sort of
facade at the time, MTV. And if you had MTV on your TV, which
everyone did if you had cable that was the height of phys ed, and
kids who watch that become corrupted. So they want to protect
against this, what are you going to protect against it, you have to
have some religion in your life, but then there was a shift. And he
came around and he was an inspiration to a lot of people.
And that's where it really started. So
I think it was pretty much itself but Egyptian style. So
is there a difference? There is Egyptian style Salafi? Probably I
think you get further than that. We'll have you Saturday because
they're more into
a they're more into the Buddha element of things and action.
Indeed, they're active. More so than the AKI the element of
things. Like the Wahabis the Saudis, I tend to find them more
into the octina element of things.
What is it?
In the hot sauna? These big Egyptian said his name was sham
Jacobi.
No, you're talking about
what's happened? Hawaii Khomeini.
Okay, no, this was an Egyptian jihadi Salafi. He was Afghan Jihad
Salafi, right. And they were more into like action and Dawa and
stuff more so than nakita points.
Yeah, that's about a movie. That's as Sufi as it gets.
Someone says he jumped to the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam sending me letters and was telling me to come where he is.
But there were obstacles this dream would tend to seem to mean
an Allah Allah of course knows best that keep practicing the
deen. There may be some obstacles, but you need to overcome those
obstacles in your Toba and in your practice of Deen. Okay, now back
to a modest selfie. Who is your selfie? His name is Muhammad
Hussain. Yes, Mohammed Yaqoob is famous Egyptian Salafi.
Very big. Yeah. I remember seeing Oh, he's a big do you met him? Are
you like saw him from far away? I was gonna go meet him. But it was
it was oh, people people knew him like they were. He was he like had
a little entourage going. And you know, the chef that came around in
New Jersey was very pious, like extremely pious suffered a lot in
his life. She had some shoes that I noticed. And they're like, super
low key. Yeah. So we're like, either entourage have their masks
come out and celebrity like the duality that you see both sides?
Yeah, one is just an employee. The other is a gangster type.
Soap. He says, I understand the entire situation isn't bad, but
the vast majority do not. And that's something that shouldn't be
ignored. A Palestinian teen was just killed by police for
illegally selling shoes.
I mean,
okay, so if we write Allah's name on a paper, do we have to bring it
No, you could tear it up or scratch it out. It's a big
problem, the name of Allah and His Messenger interviewer and I'll
tell you who I make. Who bothers me the most
People go into their home libraries to clean out their house
and get all the little annoying little pamphlets of Dean Dini
pamphlets how to make what do intense steps how to do this, how
to do that. Little pamphlets from the 1970s. What to do English,
Arabic and cassette tapes that no, we all know that nobody listens to
cassettes anymore. And they come into the masjid and drop it off.
As if we want this stuff. And now we have to get the sins of
throwing it away. And we have to have the hassle of burning them
off. And we have to have we burn them all last time in the fire
department came because someone called in said black plumes of
smoke from the mosque. And the firemen came in. So he said, I
said, we're burning books.
The Vironment, I said it's there. The religious books, we got to
burn them. We don't throw God's name in the garbage. You said like
can you call us next time you're doing this ritual? Because there
is not a ritual it's just we have to do it this way. Right? In the
old days, you can bury it, but paper today will not dissolve the
way it's all wax. It's all wax. And it's got gloss on it. Paper
will not dissolve the way it used to go so we have to burn them.
What a hassle you're hassling us you're getting the sense so we
have like atmaca acid you know because you have they're like kids
program where they got like their bins and the bins have like they
have like regular trash. Oh secret trash. Secrets. Yeah. Or it was
like divine text or something like that. It was it was nice. This
more Islamic school should do that too. Yeah, we should. We have to?
We have to have and then you take all the paper and then you you
make a barbecue from the fire. Yeah. And then you have to do your
blessing text. Look at this on him says according to the Zadie the
music that connects you to Allah is permissible according to him as
it is. Alchemy of happiness. No, that's not what we rely upon.
instrumentation. The string instrument is haram and all the
methods the wind instruments are mcru or haram in the or Halal in
the different methods. The drum is halal
in all the methods that's it, nothing else.
Okay.
Is it haram to reset Quran quickly in order to complete a set of
recitals like 41? Yeah scenes. I wouldn't say haram but I would
question the benefit and the value of it.
Quickly still having the proper Behati there is something called
had right? Had
Okay, next question. Brian, what you got?
This Can you can you share any further? You can shred it? Yes.
I'm trying to get a fade haircut is it permissible it is
permissible but there should not be skin in the fade as a vote to
avoid the camera here. Because what is mcru is the
direct difference. Part of it is skin is shaved and part of it is
long. That because it looks odd like that. That's what we consider
Azzam and bizarre Ism mcru. So a fade from skin to hair is not
exactly what was described in that hadith. But to avoid the
similarity of that, then the fade from not exactly like ours has a
nice fade right here, right? Where there's hair everywhere on his
head. So it avoids the cutter here. Even if you had a fade from
skin to hair.
It would maybe it would not even be what the prophet described is
what the woman had, she had shaved half the kid's head and left half.
So the profits because it looks odd shave half, shave it off, or
keep it off. Otherwise is gonna look like the people are gonna
think you're part of the women's US women's soccer team. Right?
Because they all got those haircuts, right? Do you care about
that? Or like about men dressing like women? So that's pretty
obvious, right? Like when a man dresses like a woman, you know,
like, what are the habits of a woman? But what about like when a
woman dresses like a men equally? But like, where exactly do we draw
the line of you know, just dressing casually versus, like,
you know, like, say 100 years ago, like a woman wearing pants would
be considered dressing like a mint. Nowadays, everyone wears
pants or, you know, like along those lines. So what do you say to
someone? Where is the gradiation? Point right of dressing like a man
or just like a woman? Yes, simple question. The pious Muslims of
that time and place, would they do it? Or would you do it in front of
them? That's the question. So basically, like would you enter
the masjid like that is that all of all of the gray areas of
customs or or is determined by the pious people of that area, the
knowledgeable and pious people of the mosques of that area, if you
wouldn't do it in front of them, or if you would do it in front of
Miani today, let's say a woman is wearing a tunic, down to her knee,
let's say.
And jeans. Would anyone bat an eye?
100 years ago they may Yeah, right. But today they won't.
That's a sign that it has entered in and has become something of a
norm that is not a sin that has become normalized. It's not even
sinful anymore. Why? Because in the past the pant, like, let's say
300 years ago, pants, it's British clothes. You're wearing the
clothes of the French and the British the enemy. In the same way
if I was were starved David right now. So that's that's the but if I
was were starved David, if I had to starve David pattern, sure.
Soap
800 years ago, no one will say you're supporting the killing or
killers of Muslims. We started David's all over mosques as a
pattern, right? As a pattern, you can find Stars of David, because
it was you have squares, eight sided stars, six sided stars,
seven sided stars, whatever. You had all these different patterns,
including the Star of David. And it was not associated with
Zionists. Today it is. So it's all about these, these customs and
things change. Amira Glover about giving gifts for kids insha Allah
I don't see much of an issue. If I go back to the answer bear where
it's all about the customs and audit and not burdening people and
not. But I don't necessarily don't find an issue with that. Neither
is it recommended to do it on that date, nor is it sinful.
Getting a letter from the prophet or voice yes, that counts is
taking the Prophet a dream of the Prophet is dream interpretations
as shakey says, Is it learned or inspired? It's inspired and
learned at the same time.
Let's see what is going on on Facebook.
We're instant. Here we go. What is your advice to people who feel
other people's pain too deeply?
As long as it's not affecting your practical life? That's the real
question. Right? your practical life is the issue.
Like is it stopping you from living life normally? That's
where,
okay,
that's the issue. Or it shouldn't be like to the point where you're
empathizing with a golfer, and you have too much mercy for them. But
I think you know, emphasizing with the enemies of Islam,
like we shouldn't even go there. Now, let's say because son gets
run over by a car.
You're still a human being right? You might sympathize with that
aspect. Barbados, Barbados or Barbados has the Star of David.
Kim says what is
what is that? Barbaros or Barbados?
This phone is no good that scrolling through my hand says
it's trousers not pants. Oh when I was in England and I said I'm
going to iron my pants they all looked at me because pants is your
boxers in England
and here we go. We got a lot of British folks here so pizza is the
issue nowadays a lot of clothes are unisex so where do we draw the
line? Like joggers, right joggers I think are sweatpants. Yeah, in
England.
Like the ones that are like, like these forms, like the soccer pants
form fitting semi very close to form fitting sweatpants. Oh, no.
mcru Taylor. Taylor. Yeah. mcru No tailored and semi very close to
form fitting clothes is haram and can be mcru or haram. It depends
if it's form fitting.
Right How?
The question right? Again, go back to the righteous people and say
that they're, you know, upset by when would they were aware that
when their kids were they let their wives and kids were that
right? Would a righteous woman
you know, can you trim your name in your hair?
No lines, no trims and no designs. One brother one time he
he shaved a goofy shape in his head.
African American brother he went and he made instead of what he put
on a Koofi and he told the guys shave everything under the Koofi.
Right. And then he took two goes out after work Rufina my hair is
my goofy.
Joker
what can we do so we can get something we really want with Da
beautiful question. This is
the avenue of our deen that we're going to go down. You want
something from Allah? Then get yourself in line. When you want
something from somebody. What do you do you do everything that they
love. You avoid everything they hate. And you keep asking as a
prophesy. centum said, Ask Allah while you were certain with the
answer, that he's going to answer you and never stop. Because if you
stop that means that's a sign that Allah will not give it to you. Our
hair extensions hot
Um, says a sneaker hair extensions for women are haram outside of the
husband and the and the home life.
Right, but they are permitted in front of the husband and the home
life. By home life. Do you mean like if it's a girl who's not
married, but she can have extensions inside the house,
Sheikh Mohammed said that, if it's something that why because all the
hair related extensions, something outside your body bringing it
inside your body, right?
It's it's a type of misleading thing. Other women may see you and
say, Wow, Michelle Oh, I see. This is ghesquiere. He's got beautiful
hair. Let me take a picture with her. And then so, you know, the
other women say their son can marry her. Right? And so he's
misled? No.
He's told, Oh, she's so beautiful. She's got XY and Z. So it's That's
what they always considered as as misleading. So insofar as the
misleading element is there, that's where we have. So they say
that misleading is something that is relative, right? You may not
intend to mislead, but you misled, you may assume that it's not
misleading, but it was. So they just draw a line. They say for
family and husbands. That's fine, because they know your truth
anyway.
Can we ask for justice from Allah for people who have heard us
repeatedly? We want to forgive them? After justice? Yes, no
problem. Get your justice and then forgive them after that. So he
says, What about synthetic instruments? If the synthetic
sounds we this synthetic instrument is judged by how it
sounds, does it sound like a stringed instrument? That is
haram? If it sounds like a wind instrument? mcru. If it sounds
like an unknown, then it's hella most synthetic is like, what is
this even? Right? It's like air blowing. It's like Yes, something
you don't even know what it is, then there may be room for that.
Alright, so what we got here is we have a question from a live event
and looking at someone who likes picture on Instagram of the
opposite gender. It's haram, if it's for pleasure. If you're
seeing if you want to marry them, maybe like let's say someone
proposed to you and you're looking up there, but looking for pleasure
is what is haram? But you can look at things
for a reason. What about wigs, synthetic wigs? Again, same line
for your family on your husband maybe that's it. That's what
Sheikh Mahmoud said. Which is better for something we want is
Takata or hajat both Don't stop me threw everything at the wall. Why
are stringed instruments hot on the Prophet forbade all
instruments
on all instruments might as if but then an exception was made for the
drum that all the scholars was an explicit exception.
And implicit exception was made for the wind instruments. So the
scholars differed upon it whether it was an exception or not. That's
why there's a difference of opinion. Most of them say It's
haram but some Shafia say it's halal and some Maliki says mcru
and there was no exception made for the string instrument. I hope
that answers funhouse question. Okay.
What is looking for pleasure mean? It means that you are looking with
the intent to be to have pleasure or you're looking and the looking
becomes pleasurable. What is pleasure? It's a feeling inside of
you.
Right What is tasting good mean?
But in my mouth, I become happy, right? It's a type of happiness
inside of your body. Can a man see a woman without a job if he wishes
to marry her? He should no never not allowed to do that. Can people
regain their annuity back once in a sewer? Toba made Yes. And a lot
of a better do a lot of a bad Have you came to Canada Do you know oh
my god three? Yes, I know I'm gonna cut but not by going to
Ghana but by doing internet talks with them. Is it okay to send
pictures for marriage proposal prospects? Yes, but with caution
so that only to save people who have Amana trustworthiness, so
they don't go spreading around elsewhere. What was the man was
that his view on instruments?
What I read is about when he says the word sama we interpret that as
meaning the voice not the actual instance. But yes, some some have
set up the Sufis have we're leaning on the instruments because
of its effect on the heart. But we don't rule by that. We don't rule
by how it makes you feel.
Kim says, What about the opinion that Khadija was 25 or 28? Where
did this start? I think it started by people who
I don't know where it started even. But I know that said I issue
when they say oh, she was 18 Not six because they're embarrassed by
it. That's it.
When I'm gonna be a loss. He was a father at the age of 12. So
marriage at a young age
It was very common. The Quraysh went after the province. I said
I'm for marrying, say to Xena.
Okay, Xena,
who was very beautiful woman, but she had married the adopted son of
the Prophet Zaid.
And they they could not believe that he married the divorce see of
his adopted son was taboo to them. So what does that tell us? tells
us we know when the caffeine or the machine or the enemies of the
prophet had a reaction to something of the prophets,
marriages, we know that, but where's no such reaction to the
marriage of Aisha? But where does this idea come from? 2518 have no
clue where they got this. Why do Islamic ensembles often use the
old wincing and qasida because they're breaking rules and they're
they're following opinion that's weak. What time is it because I
gotta run Ah 306 I wish I could say how many questions per session
are appropriate nonstick, you can go all day if you want all wish I
can go all day but I have got parenting duties.
Father had to do.
I gotta go. I gotta go do some adulting right now, when does your
school finish three and a half? have three is the same England
would like to be there at 330 can June like Oh, June 21. I think
this When would you say marrying a person to get his visa and then he
uses you and divorces you as haram. Yes.
Yeah.
Because you can't have like an end to the marriage. You can't intend
to marry someone with the intention to divorce them right?
Yeah, you have intent between you and Allah that's haram.
We're going to talk about the Salafi sad Arpita in a second
in a future segment Inshallah, that is from Sadhak.
Lot of youngsters in Western countries have had on
relationships what what can we do teach and teach and teach and do
Tao and advise them and take them to the thicker circle so they can
purify their hearts
difficulties challenges a sign of negative staccato? No, not
necessarily. It's not it could be it could not be shared. How are
your parents in trouble? They're well I recall you saying your mom
dad handed out my mom had a situation and it was the best
possible outcome so I asked Allah subhana wa Tada. To do likewise
for all of the other Muslims who are sick and who are struggling
with with very sicknesses and diseases. May Allah subhana which
Allah bless everybody here don't forget to do some a better after
the stream is over because Wednesdays between Dawn and also
it is a time of his day job. So recite some Quran, do something
good and make your DUA take your matters to Allah to Allah knowing
and having full Amen and believe he does answer the DUA you're
standing in front of a king. This king has been nourishing human
beings and animals for hundreds of 1000s of years.
And angels and everything what you're going to ask is very little
you're gonna get it inshallah Tada, but have do what the Prophet
said, Call upon Allah while you are certain of the answer, and you
will get your answer as long as you don't stop the moment you
stop.
2345 years the moment you stop, that's when you've lost your
chance do not stop.
Man said I've been making dua for two years I said UK to get a high
school diploma takes four years, right? For years to get a rotten
old high school diploma, middle school diploma going up ceremony,
right three years sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade. You
want this amazing thing in your life. Two years is nothing medical
school degree, four years College, four years of medical school board
examinations, four years residency, 12 years and then you
may do another two years or one year of a specialty that will live
15 years so don't stop and Allah has been tolerant of our sins for
many many decades. So why don't we have the Sabra Allah had somebody
with us for 1520 years of sins
have somebody keep your da up and happy meant and be patient? So
Allah said that Muhammad while earlier on Baker, Blazer gmlc
