0:00:00 hey you are you wasting your time on0:00:02 social media again your brothers and0:00:04 sisters in islam net from norway are0:00:06 establishing a masjid a tawa center0:00:10 establishing a masjid to convey the0:00:11 message of islam is one of the best0:00:14 deeds a muslim can do there's a huge0:00:17 need for it in norway you know this and0:00:18 i know this so that makes the reward0:00:21 even greater so give generously and0:00:24 allah azzawajal will give you even more0:00:28 [Music]0:00:36 this is a follow-up video from one that0:00:38 i've done before about issues relating0:00:40 to lgbtq0:00:42 especially pertaining to the muslim0:00:43 community the tradition is muslim oh you0:00:45 just call it the muslim community and in0:00:48 the previous video that i made i was0:00:50 speaking particularly about some0:00:51 approaches of0:00:52 uh some dawah organizations0:00:55 um i mentioned ikna i mentioned yakreen0:00:57 i mentioned some figures0:00:59 of dawah like0:01:02 dr jonathan brown and other individuals0:01:05 who are i would consider big players in0:01:07 the tawa at least or in the public0:01:09 discourse and rightfully so because they0:01:11 have made many contributions which some0:01:14 of their detractors0:01:15 will never be able to make let alone0:01:17 have made in the past for example0:01:19 yesterday has done some great work0:01:22 especially relating to the seerah that0:01:24 he's put up in the english language i0:01:25 think i don't think0:01:26 almost anyone has done anything like0:01:28 that in terms of the effort and the0:01:30 output that was put into that and the0:01:32 originality and the0:01:33 research that must have been put into0:01:35 such a thing0:01:36 likewise0:01:38 he's done really great work and when it0:01:40 comes to the production quality of some0:01:42 of the things that have come up from0:01:42 japan i think everyone agrees that it's0:01:44 really brilliant and excellent and when0:01:46 he comes and0:01:48 speaks especially when he storytells and0:01:50 i have to say it's really really like0:01:52 inspirational the way he speaks about0:01:54 some of the prophets of the past and0:01:56 some of the companions of the past0:01:57 masha'allah is really it's excellent and0:01:59 jonathan brown an excellent a star a0:02:02 great academic who's done some really0:02:04 great work in the past and i think a lot0:02:05 of the detractors that do attack these0:02:07 people may have perverse intentions0:02:09 quite frankly i mean0:02:11 and0:02:12 i will repeat will not in the future0:02:15 let alone have in the past be able to0:02:17 produce anything like what these0:02:19 individuals have produced in terms of0:02:21 their contribution to the islamic0:02:22 discourse for the muslim people0:02:25 so we have benefited from that and i0:02:26 think it's important to start with that0:02:28 kind of recognition because these people0:02:30 have been in the dawa and in the public0:02:32 space much longer than we have and we0:02:35 uh you know have benefited i have0:02:36 personally benefited so much from all0:02:39 three individuals i must say0:02:41 and so i don't want anyone to think0:02:43 that this is trying to you know cancel0:02:46 them or something like this and0:02:47 what do we gain from that they're our0:02:49 friends we have a good personal0:02:50 relationship with them i've spoken to0:02:52 yesterday twice we've done two podcasts0:02:55 together jonathan brown has done a0:02:56 podcast with him we have a good personal0:02:58 relationship there's no need or reason0:03:00 or personal gain that i get from this at0:03:02 all0:03:04 at all the second thing i'll say is0:03:07 they've done great work and they0:03:08 continue to do great work and we don't0:03:09 want to disturb that great work0:03:12 not having said all that0:03:14 what i will say is this0:03:16 there are some approaches which need to0:03:18 be examined okay there are some0:03:20 approaches that need to be examined now0:03:21 recently i was very encouraged to find0:03:24 that after i done my first video0:03:27 that jacquin actually done a webinar0:03:30 uh0:03:32 sorry they've done webinar we are0:03:33 cleaned on a webinar0:03:35 on lgbtq uh issues i think that was the0:03:38 name of the webinar and they did clarify0:03:41 a lot a lot of things they clarified the0:03:43 ah cam of same-sex relationships and so0:03:46 on and i was very encouraged to see this0:03:48 uh clarification and unhappy and really0:03:52 i i i salute the the effort and commend0:03:55 it uh genuinely i'm not just saying i'm0:03:57 not just saying that and even0:03:59 came out and made a video about0:04:00 transgenderism and the fetus on on that0:04:03 and so on and honestly i really0:04:06 appreciate the self-reflective nature of0:04:09 the institute that you've been able to0:04:10 do all that kind of thing0:04:12 but what i will say is this0:04:15 the level of clarification there's a0:04:17 question i have to you0:04:19 is the level of clarification0:04:23 in line or commensurate with the level0:04:26 of0:04:26 doubt or shubha that has been created0:04:28 this is a question for me to you is the0:04:31 level of clarification that has been0:04:32 provided0:04:33 commensurate0:04:34 or0:04:36 with the level of subha that has been0:04:37 created now you may ask why should there0:04:40 be such a subha when we have0:04:42 consistently made0:04:44 you know our points clear on the ham of0:04:46 same-sex relationships i'll tell you why0:04:49 and since i've had these0:04:50 conversations online public0:04:52 conversations which are which are on the0:04:54 public record which people can watch0:04:56 i'll give you three examples of it in0:04:59 fact0:05:00 the level of shubha or doubt has been0:05:02 created on account0:05:04 of some of the stances that jacquin have0:05:06 taken0:05:07 for example jonathan brown made an0:05:10 article0:05:11 or has written an article that was then0:05:13 put onto jaquin which argued for the0:05:16 case of us supporting as the muslim0:05:18 community same-sex marriage0:05:20 now he says it wasn't an islamic case0:05:22 and he put so many caveats it wasn't0:05:25 quid pro quo and it wasn't this and so0:05:27 on0:05:28 nevertheless0:05:29 it was an article that argued that0:05:31 muslim people should vote for homosexual0:05:35 marriage in america or maybe elsewhere0:05:37 okay0:05:39 and it was on a0:05:41 website of an organization which was0:05:43 meant to represent the interests of the0:05:45 muslim people and it was really0:05:47 an apolo it is really an apologetic0:05:49 organization which was meant to deal0:05:51 with the doubts of the people0:05:53 if it is a political0:05:55 article what is it doing0:05:57 on0:05:58 an islamic website0:06:01 isn't that shopper that is being created0:06:04 so the question now which begs itself0:06:07 is0:06:08 can muslim people support such a thing0:06:09 which is antithetical to their own0:06:11 beliefs are you telling me that such a0:06:12 thing was not a supper it was a supper0:06:15 and the evidence of that0:06:16 is that it was removed subsequently0:06:19 after these discussions were had in the0:06:21 public sphere after we had him on the mh0:06:23 podcast after the muslim community0:06:25 wasn't buying quite frankly the series0:06:27 of justifications that jonathan brown0:06:29 has put forward0:06:31 it was removed but was removed without0:06:33 clarification0:06:35 it was removed without consolation it0:06:37 was removed without retraction formal0:06:39 retraction it was just0:06:41 inconsequent conspicuously removed0:06:44 and is that enough is that sufficient0:06:46 for the muslim community i i say no it's0:06:49 not enough after you've done something0:06:51 like that which no muslim scholar in the0:06:52 history of islam has argued0:06:55 you make an argument that no0:06:57 precedent has been given for0:06:59 jurisprudentially0:07:01 and then you just remove it and then no0:07:03 clarification is given i think that is0:07:05 quite frankly not fair on the muslim0:07:07 community0:07:09 a second example is there's an entire0:07:11 framework that0:07:12 man has put forward on fruitful0:07:14 coalition building he calls it and it's0:07:16 still up there now and he's got levels0:07:19 of it and we're seeing almost0:07:21 you know shake hands and hold hands and0:07:23 so on with members of the lgbtq0:07:26 community0:07:27 walking in the parades and doing these0:07:29 practices and rituals and all these kind0:07:30 of things which has been refuted for and0:07:32 rightfully so quite frankly0:07:35 and then0:07:37 where is i mean is the level of0:07:39 apology and the level of clarification0:07:41 was it0:07:43 was it in line with that you have to ask0:07:45 yourself that question you have to ask0:07:47 yourself that question0:07:49 secondly0:07:50 why is it the case that the only0:07:53 relationship that the big players of0:07:56 american da'wah have had with0:07:58 homosexuals is one where they're a0:08:01 either on the back foot or b trying to0:08:03 build coalitions is this really the0:08:05 quranic model0:08:08 well it's not0:08:20 is that we the only thing the muslims0:08:22 are doing with0:08:23 individuals who are self-proclaimed0:08:26 happily homosexuals is this0:08:31 i don't think you'd sorry to say i'm0:08:32 sorry i'm so sorry i don't think you0:08:34 would endorse that in the least0:08:37 why have you never given doubt why have0:08:38 we never seen any of you give dawah0:08:41 to individuals who are exhibiting this0:08:43 feeling0:08:44 from the non-muslim community0:08:46 true relationship building0:08:50 is not having a phony relationship based0:08:52 on disingenuous beliefs0:08:56 or that you try and put the elephant0:08:57 under the carpet or something0:09:00 no0:09:01 true relationship building is where you0:09:03 agree to disagree0:09:05 that is why0:09:06 the homosexual community some of which0:09:09 they have no problem with me0:09:10 it's all for the public record to see0:09:12 i've had conversations with them in the0:09:14 public space0:09:15 and after i've explained to them my0:09:18 entire ethos and my all my beliefs0:09:21 it's still agreed to disagree and it's0:09:22 actually happy days because there is0:09:24 tolerance in that community i mean it's0:09:25 not like they're completely intolerant0:09:26 to the muslim people do you have such0:09:29 uh maybe0:09:30 fear that they'll you'll be rejected by0:09:32 them that you cannot even engage with0:09:34 them in a positive manner telling them0:09:35 what islam is0:09:37 why have we not seen one0:09:40 single video0:09:42 or something on the public record where0:09:44 you are challenging the beliefs0:09:46 and the stances and the practices of0:09:48 those individuals who we call brothers0:09:51 and sisters in humanity0:09:52 if you really want the best for someone0:09:54 you share what you think you have with0:09:56 them0:09:57 it's not it's0:10:00 that's the second criticism so this is a0:10:02 weak0:10:02 approach and this weakness was exhibited0:10:06 for all to see0:10:08 in the following clip which i found was0:10:11 well when i first saw it i was very0:10:13 upset and angered on behalf of shaykh0:10:16 let's watch let's watch the clip0:10:17 together do you see how that's0:10:19 problematic for a lot of people0:10:20 listening who'll say you say they're0:10:21 welcome in your mosque but they're0:10:22 welcome as sinners and that0:10:24 well it's not it's not our it's not our0:10:27 uh job to judge others i'm willing to0:10:29 allow them their rights are they willing0:10:31 to allow me my rights when you say0:10:32 you're willing to allow them their0:10:33 rights their political rights0:10:35 do you support same-sex marriage i0:10:36 support the notion that the american0:10:38 government is not in charge of morality0:10:40 so you're not opposed to same-sex0:10:42 marriage0:10:43 politically yes but but morally i i0:10:46 don't agree with this so there's a0:10:47 there's a difference0:10:48 of the land you're not complaining0:10:50 do you think0:10:52 that0:10:53 this is fair0:10:54 that a member of the0:10:57 so-called scholarly classes0:10:59 the high echelons of islamic0:11:01 intellectuality0:11:04 is put in front of an individual0:11:06 actually two of them but let's focus on0:11:08 linda0:11:09 an individual who is flirting with0:11:12 clandestine apostasy0:11:16 and that she's putting you on the back0:11:17 foot0:11:20 well it breaks my heart to see that0:11:23 she's putting you on the back foot0:11:25 and she's mentioning things which have0:11:27 in them the potential for riddha0:11:30 apostasy and they're going unchallenged0:11:32 this is an individual who's wearing a0:11:34 head scarf0:11:35 she's in front of a man of deen religion0:11:38 and she's saying we basically it's a0:11:40 paraphrase that she thinks the cause of0:11:42 homosexuality is the same islamic cause0:11:44 you put that to linda you're an american0:11:45 muslim civil rights activist you0:11:47 campaign against islamophobia in favor0:11:49 of muslim civil rights but you also0:11:50 campaign against homophobia and in favor0:11:53 of lgbt rights do you see that as all0:11:55 part of the same struggle0:11:57 absolutely and i will say this about0:11:58 american muslims there has not been any0:12:00 coordinated coordinated campaign0:12:02 oppositional to the supreme court um0:12:04 decision for same-sex marriage and0:12:06 you're not correcting that in fact0:12:07 you're just revere you're talking about0:12:09 your own track record and defending0:12:10 yourself yeah not even islam but quite0:12:12 frankly yourself well let me put that0:12:14 point to it well that's exactly what0:12:15 i've been doing linda if you actually0:12:16 listen to the lectures that are on0:12:18 youtube uh i would say i'm one of the0:12:19 very few clerics that have very publicly0:12:22 said do you think this is going to give0:12:24 islam and muslims0:12:29 it is a failed approach and it's not an0:12:32 approach that is going to yield any uh0:12:34 positive effects0:12:36 and it's likely to0:12:38 mark all of the good work you've done0:12:40 elsewhere0:12:41 and i see that as a real tragedy in fact0:12:43 and it hurts me to say it0:12:46 it hurts me to say it but i'm angered0:12:48 and disappointed0:12:50 and i never saw this video before i only0:12:51 saw this quite recently when i saw it i0:12:53 was very disappointed when i0:12:55 to see a woman like that yeah0:12:58 a woman like that0:13:00 yanni put you on the back foot yes0:13:03 in that way0:13:04 yeah and you couldn't even ask a couple0:13:06 of questions that would have put her0:13:07 directly on the back foot do you0:13:08 consider homosexuality as a sin0:13:10 it would have it would have if she said0:13:12 yes0:13:13 then it would so how do you0:13:15 then you can follow up if she said no0:13:17 then you can excommunicate her you can0:13:20 excommunicate from the fault of islam0:13:22 after you do it kamas alhaja and then0:13:24 you put her in the back foot again you0:13:26 you strip her of the fake identity that0:13:28 then she would be putting upon herself0:13:30 this is the isa we require this is the0:13:33 clear-cut0:13:34 straight talking kulu kola and sadida0:13:36 that we need0:13:38 it's not fair that the muslims have this0:13:41 level of representation quite frankly on0:13:43 issues so0:13:44 topical as these0:13:46 and then you know and then confusion is0:13:49 put in the atmosphere so i've given you0:13:50 three clear cut examples0:13:54 of why the shah as is as it is0:13:57 why the doubt has been created in the0:14:00 minds of the muslims the issue is not0:14:02 just an issue of ideology0:14:05 or belief0:14:06 the issue is also an issue of attitude0:14:10 what made the civil rights movement so0:14:12 successful was not just the arguments0:14:14 that0:14:15 black people were making say for example0:14:16 in the 1960s0:14:19 it was the spirit that they came with0:14:20 the attitude that they came with0:14:22 the confidence that they came with0:14:25 if they had placid and docile and timid0:14:28 and weak attitudes and their temperament0:14:31 wasn't fit for purpose the civil rights0:14:33 movement wouldn't be what it is0:14:36 no change would have been made0:14:38 if they had shaken hands with the wrong0:14:40 people or tried to take protection and0:14:42 seek shelter from individuals who in0:14:45 their reality don't want the best for0:14:47 the for their own communities0:14:49 it wouldn't have been as successful as0:14:50 it is he tell you and all of us0:14:54 that these people are the sheep0:14:56 or the wolves in sheep sheep's clothing0:15:00 and he would tell us0:15:02 if you take inspiration from him0:15:06 to seek self-sufficiency0:15:09 after0:15:10 allah0:15:12 so this is my final advice0:15:15 my final advice to you guys0:15:17 is don't just change your approach which0:15:20 of course you do need to change0:15:23 you need to be more polemical forthright0:15:25 you need to put your position forward0:15:28 put them on the back foot0:15:30 but not just that change your attitudes0:15:33 because if you don't start0:15:35 having a confident attitude to these0:15:38 issues0:15:40 our people will suffer0:15:43 our people will suffer0:15:45 more than they have already suffered0:15:51 your brothers and sisters in islam net0:15:53 from norway are establishing a masjid a0:15:56 dhawa center0:15:57 this center this masjid this educational0:16:00 institution will act like a beacon of0:16:03 light calling the muslims in norway back0:16:06 to the essence of islam so give0:16:08 generously and allah will give you even0:16:11 more0:16:24 you
