0:00:04 i was recently made
0:00:06 aware of a video that brother abdul
0:00:08 rahman hassan had made
0:00:10 on the permissibility of football or
0:00:12 lack thereof
0:00:14 and this video i found it astounding
0:00:18 absolutely astounding
0:00:21 and i've just come to the conclusion
0:00:23 that there must be a deeper reason
0:00:26 why such conclusions are being met so
0:00:28 after i've
0:00:29 done the initial prognosis if you want
0:00:31 to call it that or diagnostic
0:00:34 and once we've quickly just ran through
0:00:37 some of the things that he said
0:00:39 um i'm going to offer some solutions
0:00:41 insha'allah okay i'm going to offer some
0:00:43 solutions
0:00:44 so the first thing he said was that the
0:00:47 reason why
0:00:48 football well well he was saying about
0:00:51 football that
0:00:53 it has in it allah
0:01:03 laws which are man-made laws against the
0:01:06 against against the laws
0:01:10 of islam let's take a look at this
0:01:13 astonishing and shocking
0:01:16 okay segment of him speaking
0:01:20 about this
0:01:35 [Music]
0:02:00 let's not take it to the because some of
0:02:03 its forms can be
0:02:04 some of his forms can be mentioned
0:02:21 okay we know in our legislation what we
0:02:23 have in our sharia we have
0:02:27 in our 50 books if you look at it when
0:02:29 the scholars speak about
0:02:31 they divide it into four or even if you
0:02:33 want say two let's make it four 4.
0:02:36 act of worship and by that
0:02:40 then we have uh illness
0:02:48 then you have an
0:02:51 ayat are crimes that are committed
0:02:54 and then which are capital punishments
0:02:56 okay i mean punishment for those
0:02:58 scholars that's what our our legal
0:03:01 islamic
0:03:02 legislation revolves around it talks
0:03:04 about after these are the things you
0:03:05 study
0:03:07 now football consists of
0:03:10 it's a game of coming into contact with
0:03:11 one another yeah
0:03:13 okay when a person attacks another
0:03:16 person and breaks a person's bones
0:03:18 or breaks a person's leg or a person
0:03:21 gets injured
0:03:22 or a person's puts a finger in a
0:03:23 person's eye do they go to the chapters
0:03:41 but in our religion we have it doesn't
0:03:42 matter whether it's a game or not islam
0:03:46 as you mentioned in the beginning islam
0:03:49 governs everything it conforms to
0:03:51 everything our religion enters
0:03:52 every minute thing you go to the toilet
0:03:54 you're told how to clean yourself
0:03:56 i'm absolutely astounded by that
0:04:02 because here the obviously the
0:04:03 assumption let's let's say why
0:04:05 is wrong okay the assumption is
0:04:09 that for example they're playing
0:04:10 football and
0:04:12 someone gets injured to the point where
0:04:14 one of the limbs gets amputated which
0:04:16 really happens
0:04:18 well okay their bones get broken which
0:04:20 sometimes does happen
0:04:21 right that the punishment
0:04:25 is going to be automatic removal of the
0:04:27 game red card or whatever it is
0:04:30 and he says that this goes against the
0:04:31 islamic laws
0:04:33 which indicate that you know whatever is
0:04:35 have to be given basically
0:04:37 which you can see in the kotabuf in the
0:04:39 blab of ginayet
0:04:42 how pathetic sorry how is that a
0:04:46 contradiction
0:04:47 when if it's an islamic state the the
0:04:50 person the claimant can actually still
0:04:52 make the claim
0:04:53 and he'll have video evidence to suggest
0:04:56 that the person actually hurt them
0:04:58 if anything football if it's being
0:05:00 recorded
0:05:01 will help the retribution of justice if
0:05:04 that particular court decides to take
0:05:05 videographic evidence
0:05:07 i don't see how there is a mukhalik
0:05:11 and why is it assumed that a referee
0:05:14 should have
0:05:16 i think about this for a second why
0:05:17 should the referee have
0:05:19 the powers to do
0:05:23 or punishments or tajirat whatever maybe
0:05:27 just think before you speak just
0:05:30 think this is absolutely diabolical
0:05:36 this is absolutely different
0:05:40 well he talks about not getting along
0:05:41 with or not
0:05:43 loving not being able to love a people
0:05:45 of different faiths
0:05:46 and religion let's take a look at what
0:05:48 he has to say
0:05:50 the middle like who's offside without
0:05:52 any penalty where it's shot from all of
0:05:54 these are
0:05:55 administrative this is fine we're
0:05:57 talking about
0:06:00 the goal against the laws of allah which
0:06:03 the football players are forced to
0:06:04 follow
0:06:04 for example some of them and i'm going
0:06:06 to expand on some of them for example
0:06:08 some of the laws that yami that they go
0:06:10 into
0:06:11 is um
0:06:15 the player is made to love his football
0:06:17 player team member
0:06:18 even if he's of different religion
0:06:21 this doesn't have to question how are
0:06:23 you playing with you how are you playing
0:06:25 just like your colleague you're at work
0:06:26 you've got a non-muslim colleague
0:06:27 doesn't have to love you work together
0:06:28 of course you're working it's a job for
0:06:29 them
0:06:30 they've some of them even come out
0:06:31 saying we don't get along with the job
0:06:32 years later had
0:06:34 big rifts you didn't raise these two
0:06:35 guys okay i'm really agreeing with you
0:06:36 two or three people he might not get
0:06:38 along with no problem
0:06:39 but he can't get along with the entire
0:06:40 team members
0:06:42 what you've mentioned no different to me
0:06:43 in my corporate job in my company
0:06:45 i've got non-muslims i have to work with
0:06:47 them i'm like some of them i don't know
0:06:48 it's not a lot you can come into your
0:06:50 work and do your work and leave
0:06:52 it's got nothing to do you know i never
0:06:53 know you for your tea your team members
0:06:55 and your people you're working with here
0:06:56 it's a team thing
0:06:57 i need to know who the striker is i the
0:06:59 goalkeeper needs to know the
0:07:02 you have to be no i don't agree with
0:07:04 this point you're part of a
0:07:05 happens when a muslim marries a
0:07:07 christian or a jew
0:07:11 what happened with the prophet muhammad
0:07:26 that's not relating to the religion
0:07:28 natural love between
0:07:30 people from different faiths is haram
0:07:33 then the prophet fell into haram we will
0:07:36 see
0:07:37 how your methodologies and how your
0:07:39 statements
0:07:40 are so totally against the sun and the
0:07:43 quran
0:07:44 that i'm shocked with all due respect
0:07:48 that you had the absolute audacity to
0:07:51 come out and speak in the manner that
0:07:53 you have
0:07:54 on a topic like this
0:08:00 that you may say about allah which you
0:08:01 don't even know
0:08:03 what and i'm shocked that someone who's
0:08:06 spent so much time
0:08:08 i'm actually i can't hold it in and i'm
0:08:10 not going to lie to anyone here
0:08:11 i don't back back this man behind his
0:08:13 back i'm gonna tell you guys
0:08:15 exactly what i think this shows with all
0:08:18 due respect
0:08:19 the difference the important difference
0:08:20 between someone who studies
0:08:23 and regurgitates and memorizes knowledge
0:08:25 and someone who thinks and contemplates
0:08:27 there's no better kind of example we can
0:08:29 get for this
0:08:30 how can you come to these conclusions
0:08:36 how can you praising disbelievers
0:08:40 and he is indicating that
0:08:44 well look he's not saying i'm not going
0:08:45 to go into the permissibility of it or
0:08:47 lack thereof
0:08:49 he says what i am going to say is i
0:08:52 can't see how someone can bring
0:08:53 themselves
0:08:54 to praise someone who basically is a
0:08:56 disbeliever and he
0:08:57 he mentions a few traits so let's see
0:08:59 what he says on this matter
0:09:01 and come back that's something for the
0:09:04 women
0:09:05 men i'm imitating the women in this
0:09:06 writer
0:09:10 i'm sorry to go back to something we
0:09:11 were discussing earlier you mentioned
0:09:12 the hadith to me yesterday which i
0:09:14 i'd like to bring forward in sha allah
0:09:16 we're talking about the way
0:09:17 not we look up to or some of the muslims
0:09:19 look up to
0:09:20 non-muslim footballers and things like
0:09:22 that are you allowed to praise and
0:09:24 almost say he's so good at football
0:09:27 discussion back and forth
0:09:34 don't say
0:09:42 you're not allowed to praise him and
0:09:44 speak highly of him so if the hadith
0:09:49 there's is lot of back and forth to it
0:09:50 but the point is the point is
0:09:52 i don't want to fall i don't want to
0:09:53 press my arsenal on that
0:09:55 i'm saying even if there was a
0:09:58 prohibition on this issue i can't
0:09:59 someone who said allah hasn't got a
0:10:01 child
0:10:02 allah has a child sorry someone who
0:10:04 doesn't believe in allah's existence
0:10:05 somebody who doesn't even worship allah
0:10:07 who disobeys allah after he created him
0:10:09 aborts
0:10:10 into this world i honestly can't speak
0:10:12 greatly and highly and glorify him like
0:10:14 that i can't
0:10:15 my heart won't allow me if someone says
0:10:16 insult with your mother you're a mother
0:10:18 you wouldn't
0:10:18 you wouldn't even dismiss your mother's
0:10:20 value yeah or you would you wouldn't you
0:10:22 wouldn't like him in any way shape or
0:10:23 form
0:10:23 you have enmity towards him what about
0:10:25 allah i know you're saying this guy's
0:10:26 such a good player i want to watch him i
0:10:28 like the way he plays
0:10:30 also the concept
0:10:44 now this is absolutely diabolical
0:10:48 and this is muhalfali sunnah he is
0:10:50 mentioning a hadith which he says oh the
0:10:52 authenticity of it is
0:10:54 we don't know whether it's strong or
0:10:55 weak well let me give you three hadith
0:10:58 which we know
0:10:58 the authenticity is strong number one
0:11:03 ibnadi who the prophet muhammad
0:11:07 explicitly absolutely explicitly said
0:11:11 had he been alive i would have had i
0:11:14 would have forgiven this i would have
0:11:15 asked allah to forgive these people
0:11:18 so this is a kind of praise but he might
0:11:20 say no you must you know
0:11:23 you guys mention the philosophers why
0:11:25 you mention the philosophers when you
0:11:26 have quran sunnah
0:11:28 why are you mentioning the you know the
0:11:30 thinkers and so
0:11:32 why are you mentioning aristotle why
0:11:35 mentioning plato
0:11:37 well i want to tell you something today
0:11:38 that maybe you did not know
0:11:42 that the prophet muhammed he mentioned a
0:11:45 bait
0:11:45 of shar he mentioned the line of shah
0:11:48 from a man called
0:11:51 who was a non-believer before the time
0:11:53 of islam and he mentioned
0:12:00 or something to this effect that
0:12:03 whatever is aside allah is in vain
0:12:06 and that the prophet muhammed
0:12:12 this is the truest thing a prophet a
0:12:15 poet has said
0:12:17 why am i even mention it if there's no
0:12:21 utility value and so doing
0:12:25 why even mention us
0:12:31 he praised the romans he said that the
0:12:33 quickest to recover he actually
0:12:34 mentioned so many characteristics
0:12:36 he said that the quickest to recover
0:12:38 after a defeat
0:12:40 one of the things that he mentioned of
0:12:41 many things so you can't bring yourself
0:12:43 to praise disbelievers
0:12:44 but the prophet muhammad
0:12:48 could either you are better than them or
0:12:51 you don't understand
0:12:52 them and you don't understand the
0:12:53 religion fully and this is why i
0:12:55 want to offer my services i don't want
0:12:57 to just tell you i don't mean this to
0:12:58 allah who are not trying to arrogate to
0:13:00 you
0:13:00 i just don't want to backfire you i want
0:13:02 to say this so everyone can hear it and
0:13:04 i want to say to friends and family oh
0:13:06 look at this guy he doesn't know this
0:13:07 and doesn't know that
0:13:08 i'm making fun of you behind your back
0:13:10 i'd rather you see this and make it
0:13:12 public
0:13:13 but i do want to offer my services yeah
0:13:15 i think that was due is like a crash
0:13:17 course in critical thinking and
0:13:20 i think that if we humble each other
0:13:22 ourselves to each other
0:13:24 maybe we can teach each other certain
0:13:26 things
0:13:31 the two kinds of people don't learn the
0:13:33 knowledge shy person and an arrogant
0:13:35 person
0:13:36 i would say please take my offer up we
0:13:38 work closely with you
0:13:40 okay to try and develop critical
0:13:42 reasoning skills
0:13:43 and hopefully you can start applying
0:13:45 those
0:13:47 any photos
