			Smilla Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah. While early he was assaulting me he woman
		

			is reporting the descendant of a widowed that once an expedition went out in the time of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and one of the people of that expedition he was wounded in the battle.
And it was a wound of the skull. And they wrapped him up in a bandage and they were returning back
to Medina. And as you know, the wound it requires to be dry and you cannot, you know, make it worse.
On the way back this person who had the wound in his head, he had a nocturnal emission. So he woke
up and he said, What do I do now? I had a *. Now what do I do? And amongst them they didn't
know what to do. So they said, you have to do hospital before you pray. Fudger It was cold. It was
		

			in the middle of the winter, you have to do hosel we don't find any exception for you. So they
forced him to do also. And because he poured water on his head, the wound festered. And he ended up
dying before returning to Medina. When the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam heard of this, he said,
and he was rarely harsh sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but in this he became very irritated. He said,
Pata Lu who called Terra Humala, they killed him. May Allah be angry with them. The people who told
him this fatwa, they killed him. They murdered him or they killed him. May Allah be angry with them.
Allah why didn't they set a low energy Hello? Why didn't they ask somebody if they were Jai Hill?
		

			In nama shifa, will i Ye a su URL? Indeed, the cure to ignorance is to ask questions. This hadith
isn't a Buddha would the cure to ignorance is to ask questions. Why did they just give their own
verdicts without learning without asking? And Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds us in the Quran, first
Allah Allah decree and quantum data and among us the people of dhikr and the Dhikr of course, is the
Quran and Sunnah if you do not know. And so as a part of our programs that we will be offering and
Hamdulillah we have a great team here at Epic. One of the programs that will be starting in sha
Allah Allah will be a regular open q&a session every Tuesday after Salatin Orisha every Tuesday I
		

			know today's Wednesday was the only exception because we're still getting into schedule from next
Tuesday will be our first insha Allah Who to Allah and inshallah today I just wanted to go over very
briefly my philosophy of trying to answer these questions because I know that there are many
questions about even how to answer the question. So insha Allah and today's brief lecture maybe in
short, more than not more than 10 minutes Inshallah, by the way, as the ratio Salah comes down, it
will be easier for us to remain a little bit longer. I know it's summer months, so obviously it's
late. So we want to keep it short, but once he gets to, you know, 830 or something in Sharla, then
		

			it will be easier to spend half or 45 minutes after salata. Isha doing open q&a. First and foremost,
major brothers and sisters realize that
		

			the diversity of this OMA is something that Alhamdulillah has been demonstrated from the time of the
sahaba. And some people presume that every question that they ask has only one correct answer, and
that's it. And this presumption is not the presumption of any scholar. No scholar has ever said
this. In fact, as we learn more and more, we become more and more humble. And the more a person
knows and the more a person learns, the more broad minded and tolerant a person becomes. And this is
something that is universal across every spectrum of Islam. Imam Malik was the greatest scholar of
his time, and the Abbas Khalifa said, Oh, Imam Malik, you are the Imam of a Khaled Medina, why don't
		

			I take your madhhab the mathematicae madhhab and make it the official mud hub of the land. Now pause
here before I go on, if the Khalifa had gotten his way, there would be no empty laughs There will be
one must have in Islam. All the Muslims would be Maliki there
		

			wouldn't be no isn't enough because he would have made it karate would have made it binding.
Everybody must follow the Maliki method.
		

			But Imam Malik and he had this opportunity to be the one mud hub of the world because the Khalifa
there's 135 At the time there buzzer Khalifa one Sandyford the time and he's giving this golden
offer. If one of us had been given it with our little mother who would jump for joy, I will be che
holy slammed the move didn't know this is Imam Malik. And he said don't do this. Yeah, Amirul
Momineen don't do this oh Khalifa, don't do this oh, leader of the believers, for perhaps there is
knowledge out there that hasn't come to me. Perhaps I have an opinion. And my opinion is not
correct. And you will enforce my opinion on the entire Ummah, no, let there be that diversity. This
		

			is Mr. Malik speaking how about then me and you? How about anyone else in this regard? And if you
look at the history of Islam, we find from the time of the Sahaba, the Sahaba, themselves differed
over the rulings of Islam. And that is why we have these various methods, where would these methods
come from, unless the Sahaba themselves different. And so I want to insha Allah to Allah simply
point out that my philosophy has been initial continue to be to insha Allah Who to other preach
tolerance of the accepted positions of this tradition, not to preach intolerance, to try to make us
understand and to appreciate the diversity of the OMA, even if I personally might have an opinion.
		

			And of course, I have my personal opinions. Insha Allah when I answered the questions that you asked
me, I will not be negating the other valid opinions, I will not be dismissive of other valid
opinions. On the contrary, I will be very supportive of them. And this applies not just to the legal
rulings of Islam, but even in sha Allah, who to Allah to the various understandings of the theology
that we all hold dear and sacred, advanced questions of theology, sometimes they bring about awkward
answers. And in my humble experience, and this is what I will be going forward with. Our tradition
has seen so many great rouda Ma, from the likes of Abdulkadir, Giovanni and even Tamia and others,
		

			early and unknown we and all of these greater ADAMA, why should I dismiss any one of them, they all
had their interpretations and their contributions. I personally might have my inclination towards
one of these no problem. But the others also contributed much to this OMA, so in sha Allah, even
when it comes to issues of theology, you will find me to be inshallah tolerant. Now I understand.
Some people will not like this, and some people will want a black and white answer. Why didn't you
say those people are bad? Why did he say that's evil? That's my position in the lands that we live
in Wallahi? My dear brothers and sisters, do you think we have the luxury of teaching our children
		

			to hate other Muslims? Do you think we have the wisdom This is wise to teach my child to hate the
child of my Muslim neighbor simply because they have a slightly different understanding of their
interpretation of Islam, even if we disagree, it must be done with other and respect and this is
what you will find me insha Allah to Allah, I am very much opposed to sectarianism. I'm very much
opposed to teaching people to hate other Muslims to look down at other Muslims, we have enough
baggage and problems of our own. Why should we add to that? My dear brothers and sisters, even if we
disagree, and of course, I will disagree with some interpretations of Islam, it must be done with
		

			others and respect. So in sha Allah, you will find me to be very, very accepting and tolerant of the
diversity of the traditional understandings of Sunni Islam. No doubt there are red lines if somebody
comes in denies other we say, well, no, we affirm Qatar and we don't you know, and even when we you
know, reject alternative opinions, we do so with other Why should I incite hatred and a stop for
Allah violence, even if we disagree, it will be done in a proper manner people disrespect the
Companions, we do not tolerate this, we are irritated at this, but still, that is their position,
Allah will deal with them, we should not take the law into our own hands, we will not and I will not
		

			be teaching violence or hatred of other people. Even if we disagree. As I say it will be done the
manner of proper disagreements. This is with regards to even the bigger issues of theology, the
mainstream Sunni interpretations, we will all Alhamdulillah preach and teach them other
interpretations. Even if they're pointed out and incorrectness has demonstrated, it will be done in
a manner that insha Allah will not make our children hate other Muslims. We're not going to solve 12
centuries of sectarianism in one masjid, whether you like it or not, the other groups exist five
minutes from our Masjid. There are other groups that exist, what are you going to do about it? Your
		

			hatred, my hatred, their hatred will not benefit anybody. What are you going to do? We have to
preach a version of tolerance and even build bridges with other communities even as we learn to
disagree and agree to disagree. There are
		

			things we're going to disagree about, even in our disagreements, you know, you see what's happening
in the political spectrum, we need every single person we can to counter this Islamophobia. So I
understand this will not make everybody happy. So be it we will have to learn to disagree when it
comes to fifth My dear brothers and sisters, obviously even more so not only must we be quote
unquote tolerant, we must be accepting of this diversity, our tradition is ritual hamdulillah de
muda Hib have flourished for the last 12 and a half centuries, who am I or who are you to go into
gate other mud hubs out there? And inshallah I will try my best for every fifth question to give you
		

			as many opinions and then I might say, I personally prefer this one. And by the way, FYI, for your
information generally, I personally follow the humbly madhhab simply because it was the school that
I was affiliated with, I was studying Islam and I know that madhhab better than the other three mud
hubs, but every month hub is good and every med have attempted to get to the correct and if you look
at the scholars of the med hubs and the students of the med hubs, and you look at even the founders,
they had the utmost respect for one another. They were not intolerant of one another one of the main
students of Abu Hanifa Mohammed a che Barney he traveled to Medina to study with Imam Malik and Imam
		

			Malik would ask him questions about the fifth of Abu Hanifa. And he would sometimes counter and
sometimes agree with Imam Malik, this is the student of Abu Hanifa. The same with the students of
Shaffir did the same with the students of every great Imam they took from each other, why should we
not take from each other And subhanAllah My dear brothers and sisters one day insha Allah will have
an intensive class about why there are differences of opinion. And that is a topic known as a pseudo
field. Why there are differences of opinion, and had been Tamia, by the way with a very, very good
book called raising up the century, meaning stop blaming the great Imams for their differences,
		

			raising up the center, we don't criticize centering is to criticize, you're not criticizing the
great Imams for their differences of opinion. And he listed over a dozen legitimate reasons why
great scholars might differ. And this This is something we find even in the lifetime of the prophets
of Allah whoreson him himself look at the famous Hadith of the Buddha Corrado, when the prophets
Assam said none of you should pray also, until they reach the tribal bundle corridor, and inshallah
one day we'll go over it in detail, the Sahaba they differed, how do you interpret this hadith
because it was almost time for a Muslim and they hadn't prayed also, and one group was literal, and
		

			they said, Okay, we're gonna make ourselves called off, and we're gonna not pray us out on time. And
we'll pray us at after sunset. So they did not pray us or on time because they heard the Prophet
solicit and say, do not pray ask them until they get to Bonnaroo Colorado and the sun was setting
they were delayed. They said How was the process and said, We will pray us after Muslim so they
prayed. I said after the most of the time. And then they prayed Muslim, another group of Sahaba said
no, but that wasn't what he meant. So they looked at the spirit of the law and not the letter of the
law. They looked at the goal of the law, and not the actual letters of the law. And they said oh,
		

			but he meant be hurry, be hateful, and we were not hateful. We're now late, it's time for Muslim we
can't delay also, or else also will be called off. So half of the Sahaba prayed arsenal, and half of
them delayed it till after Muslim and the Prophet system heard of both of their plights. And he did
not criticize either of them. He did not criticize either. In his own lifetime, the same Hadith was
interpreted in two different ways. And he understood that okay, both of them tried their best and
they're both good and what they did so if this happened in his lifetime, how much more so you know,
in our lifetimes, when you don't when we don't have recourse to the prophets of Allah why they he
		

			was setting them how much more so when there are issues that there are not explicit ayat and a
hadith for and we have to extrapolate from the Quran and Sunnah the Quran and Sunnah did not tell us
about organ transplant. It didn't tell us about 401k should be gives a Catherine not it didn't tell
us about cryptocurrencies, these are fatawa we have to extract from and the fifth Council North
America which and Hamdulillah I am one of the lowest of their members but I'm on their council, the
field Council North America is discussing these very issues, organ transplants and 401 k's and
cryptocurrencies. You're not going to find a Quranic IRA or a hadith that explicitly says, All
		

			Muslims give zakat on 401k You won't find it like that. So how then should we not tolerate the
diversity of opinion so this leads me my dear brothers and sisters to stress and I will continue to
stress whatever I say to you in the end of the day, it is but the human attempt of one person and
that is yours truly and I could be wrong. No problem if you like it and hamdulillah if you don't
like it, no problem. I am just giving you an opinion out there and I will try my best to give you to
the best of my ability and insha Allah to Allah this community and of course the global world has
many rules. We haven't hamdulillah we'll start by June we have Imam Nadeem. We have a brother Yasha
		

			is going to be an active person in the Dawa. All of them will have their opinions and I'm telling
you from now, the four of us inevitably we will
		

			will disagree and Alhamdulillah there is mercy in that disagreement good don't expect to there to be
only one position about every question that is asked in the end of the day Alhamdulillah this
diversity is good and there is a Hadith our scholars differ is that authentic or not, even if it's
not authentic, the self and this classical scholar said it enough Almighty Rama, the afterlife of my
ummah, it is a mercy from Allah subhana wa tala, tala for Almighty Rama, this act of love within my
ummah, so there's something called legitimate if the love and you will inshallah see in my answers,
I will respect all legitimate now there are something called illegitimate if the law somebody comes
		

			in disrespects the sahaba. This is not a legitimate Act, the law we will say, we don't agree this is
wrong, and I will correct this. But within Islam and within the diversity of filth, especially,
there are so many opinions. So you will insha Allah to either find me to be respectful of all of
them, even if I, you know will say perhaps in my humble opinion, this one seems to be the stronger
but in the end of the day, those of you who are following a particular method, but hamdulillah great
and you will hear from me in sha Allah as much as possible, while the Hanafi madhhab says the Shafi
says this and what not and if you follow one of these methods, feel free to stick with your method
		

			and there is no problem with that. So this is going to be every Tuesday inshallah open q&a, I will
try my best to do around four or five questions or the bare minimum. One of them I'll try my best on
theology, one of them on law and fit or maybe two, one of them on air tickets, and one of them on a
miscellaneous topics so that we have some diversity every Tuesday. Now, how will you submit these
questions? The board is currently figuring out how but most likely there will be an email address,
that's the easiest thing. There will be an email address and that will be sent out on email. Okay,
ironically, so you must be subscribing to the epics announcements, so you will get the email address
		

			and then every week I will then select and choose the questions that I think are the most relevant
because at the end of the day, not every question must be answered publicly. Some questions are
better answered in private, but I will try my best to choose the questions that are the most
relevant to the community and then come every single Tuesday and then answer those questions. Insha
Allah hooter Allah as well, I will have other programs and the community will be updated Wednesdays
will be my regular hour longer hour and a half long between Malcolm and Aisha, so we're going to be
starting a series of classes, a Silsila. Before Hajj, I'll be doing two miscellaneous but then after
		

			Hajj Inshallah, we'll be doing theater of a particular suit, I'm still deciding which one but after
hygiene immediately, everyone's day from negative tarisha, or maybe from nine to 10 o'clock, we'll
see the timing will be every single day we're doing a whole series when that series finishes, we'll
begin another one. So it's going to be a public series, Saturday's one Saturday of the month will be
a public, a public lecture, just family night, inshallah I'm going to call it and families will come
and you know, it's going to be something Insha Allah, and anybody above the age of 13 will
understand the general Islamic lecture. And then one Saturday of the month, I'll have something a
		

			little bit more academic where, you know, it's going to be something different. And I'm gonna call
these the Ibn Taymiyyah series. Okay, so every month we'll have an Ibn Taymiyyah series, lecture one
lecture to lecture three, and this is going to be something a little bit more academic, a little bit
more, maybe cutting edge, you know, one day one one month we'll do LGBT issues one month we'll do
atheism, stuff like this a little bit more controversial a little bit more, you know, academic so
keep that in mind that maybe it's not going to be the best for maybe very young minds, but you will
know the topic in advance and you can decide you know, what age group or not you can do and other
		

			than this Inshallah, other programs will be done and hamdulillah I'm very happy that we have a great
team here at Epic all four of us insha Allah, Allah along with Hafiz Sajad, and others hamdulillah
there's an amazing team. I don't know of any other Masjid in North America that has these many
voices, and inshallah we will be stronger together. One final point, the Tuesday is a public q&a. As
I have said, I am here for the community. Anytime you see me, feel free to walk up and ask me any
question. If it's a very long one, and I'm short for time, I will tell you politely you know,
Brother, can you come tomorrow at this time and we will arrange but otherwise, feel free to approach
		

			me at any time for any question of fifth it that theology to see if there is only one area I refuse
to answer, and I don't get involved with and that is counseling, I do not do counseling. Why?
Because counseling is a speciality. And it is a mistake to assume that a person who has studied
field is qualified to counsel, psychiatric help, marital counseling, these are areas of expertise.
And it is not befitting that you know, somebody who's not an expert then gets involved in this. So
any issue of that nature, you should go to a licensed therapist or somebody who has experience and
has, you know, a knowledge in this. This is not something that they teach you in madrasa you know,
		

			how to counsel the teenager who's going through the period, this is not something my area of
expertise and generally speaking scholars are not you know, trained to do this. So go to those
people who are trained marital issues and whatnot, go to licensed people. That's what
		

			The default is if you come to me with that, I will say brothers Sorry, sister, sorry, that's not an
area that you know we can, you know, do that's not something that we just do on this site other than
that Inshallah, together we will inshallah raise the bar for this community, and we hope inshallah
we'll make this epic community a truly epic community, which is Aqua Mala who played on Santa Monica
rahmatullahi wa barakato.
