Should Muslims kill Salman Rushdie?? (2022-08-20) ​

0:00:00 your brothers and sisters in islam net
0:00:02 from norway are establishing a masjid a
0:00:05 dawa center
0:00:06 this center this masjid this educational
0:00:09 institution will act like a beacon of
0:00:12 light calling the muslims in norway back
0:00:15 to the essence of islam so give
0:00:17 generously and allah azzawajal will give
0:00:19 you even more
0:00:22 assalamu alaikum
0:00:24 how are you guys doing
0:00:26 i'm joined with fahad from islam net you
0:00:30 may be familiar with some of the
0:00:31 advertisements that we've been doing for
0:00:33 islam net
0:00:34 trying to raise money for
0:00:37 the dawa center which we'll maybe talk
0:00:38 about a little bit later on in norway
0:00:41 it's one of its kind it's a very
0:00:43 important establishment which master
0:00:45 muslims need to contribute to
0:00:47 but today we want to get started maybe
0:00:50 with
0:00:51 the recent events that took place
0:00:54 with the stabbing of salman rushdie
0:00:57 now as a leader of an organization
0:01:00 fahad
0:01:01 and as a muslim of course
0:01:03 do you condemn this action that was
0:01:05 being inspired by the fatwas of 19
0:01:08 whenever it was in 79 whenever the hell
0:01:11 it was
0:01:12 1999
0:01:16 do you condemn that
0:01:17 our stance on this matter is clear and
0:01:19 it's always been clear that we are not
0:01:22 encouraging violence we do not encourage
0:01:24 anyone to act in this way we believe
0:01:27 that every muslim should abide by the
0:01:29 laws and do whatever they can according
0:01:32 to the prophet if you care if you see a
0:01:34 moon you change it with your hand and if
0:01:36 you can't then you change it with your
0:01:38 mouth so
0:01:39 obviously
0:01:40 our role here as muslims in the west
0:01:42 would be to change
0:01:44 or speak out against these vile
0:01:47 insults that this individual has come
0:01:49 with against the prophet saws against
0:01:51 the wives of the prophet
0:01:55 it's right to mention that you know
0:01:59 first of all i think there's a lot of
0:02:00 kind of cutting and pasting going on
0:02:02 there's a lot of going into history and
0:02:04 classical books of jurisprudence islamic
0:02:06 jurisprudence
0:02:07 where you know certain fat words have
0:02:09 been given maybe a thousand years ago
0:02:11 um about the blasphemy laws and so on
0:02:13 which by the way are a matter of
0:02:15 difference of opinion this is something
0:02:17 which
0:02:18 mentions quite clearly
0:02:20 of uh
0:02:22 there's a very famous
0:02:23 uh hadith of the prophet muhammad where
0:02:26 in bahadis mentioned that he's walking
0:02:28 with his wife and some jews came to him
0:02:30 the hostile individuals they were who
0:02:33 said to him assalamu alaikum
0:02:35 death be upon you
0:02:36 and he was wonder and then responded his
0:02:39 wife responded in a very
0:02:40 elaborative way and then he stopped at
0:02:43 the prophet muhammad we said that
0:02:45 you know just
0:02:46 just say walaikum you know just saying
0:02:48 upon you
0:02:49 and then he he went into a discussion
0:02:51 about an ethical discussion he said that
0:02:59 that there was nothing there was not
0:03:00 goodness in anything in fact it was
0:03:02 removed
0:03:03 of course that that would uh
0:03:06 that if it was in it if kindness and
0:03:08 gentleness was in that thing
0:03:10 that it would beautify and if it was
0:03:11 removed from it it would make it ugly
0:03:13 and a very
0:03:15 similar hadith of the prophet muhammed
0:03:18 some individuals
0:03:19 from quraish the pagan arabs at the time
0:03:21 were attacking the prophet calling him
0:03:22 within them calling him the dispraised
0:03:24 one
0:03:25 and he responded by um
0:03:28 by saying that
0:03:29 uh
0:03:36 they are attacking this individual
0:03:38 called them they dispraised one and i'm
0:03:39 muhammad i'm the praised one
0:03:42 they so in other words there is some
0:03:45 legitimacy in in saying that when the
0:03:47 prophet
0:03:48 the way he would deal with insults
0:03:50 wasn't a narcissistic control way it was
0:03:54 a very controlled and strategic manner
0:03:55 where if it had an impact on the polity
0:03:57 and the particular situation at a time
0:04:01 then a harsh action would be taken yes
0:04:04 but if it didn't it would a harsh action
0:04:06 would not be taken he wasn't faced he
0:04:07 hand-waved this whole situation off
0:04:10 but of course someone will say well
0:04:11 there are classical opinions they even
0:04:12 tell wrote a whole book called the sun
0:04:16 rasool
0:04:17 and that the unsheathed sword on the the
0:04:19 one who insults the prophet and so on
0:04:21 and
0:04:22 so many people in different schools of
0:04:23 thought have spoken about the capital
0:04:25 punishment for those who attack
0:04:27 the prophet muhammad assault him
0:04:29 but this is taking something which is
0:04:31 abstract the abstract hokum and trying
0:04:34 to apply it on uh today so that
0:04:36 the real truth is that even tamiya
0:04:38 himself the same person who wrote this
0:04:39 book
0:04:40 as well as um you know the scholars of
0:04:43 today
0:04:44 don't just look at
0:04:45 acam or rulings in abstraction this
0:04:47 manner what they do is they look at the
0:04:50 ruling in conjunction with the reality
0:04:53 around them and that's why you'll find
0:04:55 that in relation to this matter of
0:04:56 blaspheming
0:04:58 uh
0:04:59 in western lands like ours and you know
0:05:02 where there's you know laws and places
0:05:04 on
0:05:05 the main the major centers of islamic
0:05:07 power have uh maintained that actually
0:05:10 there's a great master or detriment a
0:05:12 communal detriment into like you said
0:05:14 you know trying to challenge the law in
0:05:16 this in this vigilante way
0:05:18 and so we would say that when they ask
0:05:20 us about
0:05:21 the condemnation of this kind of uh
0:05:24 thing of individual doing this kind of
0:05:26 things but we do so on the basis of
0:05:28 sharia consequently quite frankly sharia
0:05:30 consequentialism that is to say the cost
0:05:32 benefit analysis and that's a fine
0:05:34 ethical standard actually one that the
0:05:36 whole of philosophical liberalism is
0:05:38 based on it unless of course we're
0:05:39 looking at immanuel kant's type of uh
0:05:42 social um liberalism but the the point
0:05:45 is therefore it can be condemnable on
0:05:46 the basis of breach of the peace
0:05:49 uh on the basis of mafsa detriment
0:05:52 on the basis of this is something which
0:05:54 is a barrier to entering the tower on
0:05:56 the basis that this is something which
0:05:57 threatens the muslims it can be
0:05:58 condemned in all those bases and we do
0:06:00 condemn it and that's not our strategy
0:06:02 it's not our way
0:06:03 in dealing with individuals that insult
0:06:05 the prophet
0:06:06 the the very purpose of salman rushdie
0:06:08 writing his book is to diminish the
0:06:11 religion of islam diminish the the
0:06:13 truthfulness of the prophethood of the
0:06:15 prophet saw sallam and now his book is
0:06:18 has become a bestseller it's an amazon
0:06:20 bestseller so his lies about the prophet
0:06:23 saws his insults to the prophet saws
0:06:26 wives are now just being spread when
0:06:28 someone does these kinds of acts this
0:06:31 taking the law in their own hands it
0:06:33 actually goes against the very purpose
0:06:36 of
0:06:37 making the religion of islam prevail and
0:06:39 and and giving dawa to to do these kinds
0:06:42 of acts so that's why i say that we need
0:06:45 to think wisely how we respond to people
0:06:48 like this how we respond to people who
0:06:49 are insulting the dean of allah or
0:06:51 burning the quran insulting the prophet
0:06:54 and that's why if we look at this guy in
0:06:56 norway he's burning the quran and he's
0:06:58 been doing that
0:06:59 for so many times now we used this
0:07:03 individual as a useful idiot
0:07:06 for the cause
0:07:07 [Laughter]
0:07:10 we have been able so we
0:07:12 as you know bro and as we as you also
0:07:14 said in the beginning that
0:07:16 we're building this machine
0:07:18 we are raising funds to establish the
0:07:20 first of its kind masjid and our center
0:07:22 in the whole country of norway
0:07:24 and through this guy we have raised over
0:07:27 500
0:07:29 dollars for building this message
0:07:35 so if we you if we use this for this
0:07:37 individual this is a strategic approach
0:07:40 which in advances the islamic cause is
0:07:42 that we've used this individual who has
0:07:44 been trying to attack the muslim
0:07:46 community and in a project where we're
0:07:48 trying to build a mosque which will be
0:07:50 the biggest and the dawah center which
0:07:52 will be the biggest in this kind in the
0:07:53 whole of scandinavia he's helped us
0:07:55 raise half a million
0:07:57 dollars is it
0:07:59 yeah
0:08:00 so
0:08:01 that's
0:08:02 that's amazing isn't it maybe maybe
0:08:03 someone maybe salman rushdie
0:08:06 can help us raise some more
0:08:09 exactly bro tell us a little bit about
0:08:11 this project just because some people
0:08:13 watching this may not know about what
0:08:14 project this is in just a nutshell
0:08:16 before we look at the
0:08:17 interactions you've had with this
0:08:18 individual
0:08:19 all right so we are establishing a one
0:08:21 of its kind masjid and community center
0:08:23 at dawa center in the whole country of
0:08:25 norway it will inshallah have a
0:08:27 playground for kids to nurture love for
0:08:29 the dean of allah it would have it will
0:08:32 have like a gym where people can come
0:08:34 and work out it would have dawah
0:08:36 facilities it would have classrooms an
0:08:38 educational institution that would be
0:08:40 teaching
0:08:41 the community about the dean of allah
0:08:44 something which is absolutely
0:08:47 unheard of in the country of norway we
0:08:48 don't have any single islamic community
0:08:51 center or dawah center with these kinds
0:08:54 of facilities we don't even have we
0:08:56 don't have we don't even have like
0:08:57 islamic schools in the way do we that's
0:08:59 true we don't have a single islamic
0:09:01 school in the whole country so we need
0:09:04 to establish these kinds of institutions
0:09:06 in the country of norway and we are
0:09:08 starting off with this uh we've called
0:09:10 it iman activity center so it will be a
0:09:13 center that would build the iman of our
0:09:15 children
0:09:16 and the link for this project is in the
0:09:19 description box and the comment section
0:09:20 below correct exactly it would be there
0:09:23 they'll click it and it'll be a quick
0:09:24 one isn't it it will take two seconds uh
0:09:26 maybe what ten seconds for them to to
0:09:27 put the payment through
0:09:29 exactly it would take just a few seconds
0:09:31 and and the
0:09:32 that that
0:09:33 that's really what we should be talking
0:09:34 about that's why muslims are always on
0:09:37 the back foot this is a way we can
0:09:38 actually start being on the front foot
0:09:40 correct
0:09:41 a hundred percent bro so we need to use
0:09:44 these kinds of individuals
0:09:45 just for just for promoting the islamic
0:09:48 cause because that will burn them up
0:09:50 so
0:09:51 so look they're going to get blown up as
0:09:53 well in the hellfire
0:09:56 i mean let's be honest about it
0:09:57 but talking about the hellfire and
0:09:59 people are going to burn up therein
0:10:01 let's let's look at some of the
0:10:03 reactions that let's let's react to some
0:10:04 of your videos that you've had with this
0:10:06 interview let's look at the the vile
0:10:08 nature of this human being okay let me
0:10:10 show you this one video where this guy
0:10:12 when he comes to our our property and
0:10:14 he's there to burn the quran and we
0:10:16 confront him and then he starts to swear
0:10:19 at the prophet sallam now obviously
0:10:21 i could have done what
0:10:23 this guy did and just you know go crazy
0:10:25 and attack him
0:10:27 if i had done that
0:10:29 and
0:10:29 it would have damaged the cause of islam
0:10:32 so instead of doing that i just
0:10:33 responded to his insults and then used
0:10:36 this guy to raise money to benefit the
0:10:38 dean of allah let's take a look at the
0:10:39 video please
0:11:12 well i mean there you have it i mean so
0:11:14 you didn't pull out a knife and start
0:11:15 stabbing the man did you no exactly
0:11:18 that's not our way
0:11:20 but at the same time we can't just stand
0:11:22 there except that he's insulting the
0:11:24 prophet saws and saying these
0:11:25 vile uh disgusting things about the
0:11:28 thing is i mean as you've correctly said
0:11:30 it just won't serve the cause as as well
0:11:33 yeah you know it just won't serve the
0:11:35 chords as well as simple as that
0:11:37 and and this is a great example of an
0:11:39 individual who's
0:11:40 i think your strategy has been
0:11:42 impeccable i think you've used these
0:11:43 individuals
0:11:45 to the service of islam as you've
0:11:46 mentioned this individual has helped us
0:11:48 raise
0:11:49 half a million
0:11:51 dollars i mean
0:11:53 stabbing him or hurting him or
0:11:55 annihilating him or doing whatever you
0:11:57 want to do won't be as useful with it
0:12:00 honestly it would just make him a hero
0:12:02 look look
0:12:04 so they made him into this icon of
0:12:06 freedom of speech
0:12:08 and what in reality he's just a filthy
0:12:10 man
0:12:11 but they made him an icon of freedom of
0:12:13 speech why should we give him that honor
0:12:15 that status rather we should use him to
0:12:18 serve the dean of allah so let's just
0:12:20 make the final appeal here brothers and
0:12:22 sisters everyone was watching yes please
0:12:24 let's take action right now whenever
0:12:26 these guys are honored and venerated for
0:12:29 their vile
0:12:31 disgusting insults against the prophet
0:12:33 sallam
0:12:35 we should respond by giving tawa and
0:12:37 supporting tawa and establishing the
0:12:39 islamic institutions whenever any anyone
0:12:41 of you donates for this noble cause you
0:12:44 will be sharing in the reward of
0:12:45 responding back to these
0:12:48 interests against the prophet salallahu
0:12:50 against the burning of the quran you
0:12:52 would actually be defending the deen of
0:12:54 allah by doing this don't you agree i
0:12:57 agree and i like the fact that we're
0:12:59 using them not just
0:13:00 now
0:13:01 by spreading awareness of what the
0:13:03 religion of islam actually is because a
0:13:05 lot of people that
0:13:06 you know they hear these things about
0:13:07 muslims understand they don't even know
0:13:08 what islam is they don't even know the
0:13:10 basic tenets
0:13:11 but that now we're using them for our
0:13:13 own purposes
0:13:15 as the muslim community so it can raise
0:13:17 funds for our future generations i think
0:13:19 it's a fantastic strategy and i'm that's
0:13:20 why i'm for it do not forget to give
0:13:23 that kind of charity to to propel our
0:13:25 calls forward and to make the muslims
0:13:28 and the word of islam uppermost by
0:13:30 clicking the link below
0:13:38 when the son of adam dies
0:13:40 all of his good deeds are interrupted
0:13:43 they are finished
0:13:44 except for three things
0:13:48 a continuous charity and a beneficial
0:13:51 knowledge and also a righteous offspring
0:13:54 that makes dua for him your brothers and
0:13:56 sisters in islam net from norway are
0:13:58 establishing a masjid a daowa center and
0:14:02 fulfilling a great portion of this
0:14:04 hadith on your behalf establishing a
0:14:06 masjid to convey the message of islam is
0:14:09 one of the best deeds a muslim can do
0:14:12 whenever someone prays there whenever
0:14:14 someone gives shahada
0:14:16 in the masjid whenever someone learns
0:14:18 something in the masjid
0:14:20 yes
0:14:21 that will be something that you will
0:14:23 have on your scale
0:14:24 so give generously and allah azzawajal
0:14:27 will give you even more
0:14:45 you
