Summary of Londoniyyah - Part 33 - Shiaism | Mohammed Hijab

*This summary is AI generated - there may be inaccuracies.

00:00:00 - 01:00:00

discusses the different interpretations of the Imam in Shia Islam, and the differences between Sunni and Shia beliefs concerning the Imam. It argues that while the Imam is a part of the religion, it is not an important point and can be debated.

00:00:00 Mohammed Hijab discusses the concept of Imam in Shia Islam. He explains that while all Shia Muslims believe in the doctrine of Imam, there are two different interpretations of Imam. One view considers Imam to be a part of the religion itself, while the other view considers Imam to be a differentiator between Sunni and Shia Muslims.

  • *00:05:00 Discusses the differences between Shiite beliefs and Sunni beliefs, noting that while Shiites believe in twelve infallible imams, Sunnis believe that all of the prophets had equal knowledge and power. They also discuss the Quranic verse "I do not know what will befall me or you." argues that while this verse is clear, it's problematic for Shiite Muslims because it denies the uniqueness of Allah.
  • 00:10:00 Mohammed Hijab discusses the Islamic doctrine of infallibility, or the belief that only Allah can know the future. He notes that this doctrine is explicit in the Quran, and that it is used as evidence that Imam Ahangement is a divinely-appointed position. He also discusses a hadith in which Ibrahim al-Ja'fariya asks Allah to make him an imam for the people, and Allah responds by saying that his pledge will not reach the level of Ibrahim's transgressions. Finally, Hajis provides a summary of a book in which the same evidence is used to support the authority of Imam Jaffa.
  • *00:15:00 Discusses the Shia interpretation of Verse 59 of the Quran, which states that Allah made Ibrahim "want you" to undertake the pilgrimage to Mecca. Shia interpretations argue that this desire is a religious quality that Ibrahim needed to reach in order to be qualified as an Imam.
  • 00:20:00 The presenter discusses an argument about whether a nurse who was mentioned in the Quran is an Imam. There is a debate among scholars about this, but the presenter argues that it is only possible for this to happen within the context of a narrative.
  • *00:25:00 Discusses some of the differences between Shia and Sunni Islam, and discusses the hadith of Kiset. It asserts that this hadith shows that only the Prophet's family (Hussein, Fatima, and others) are legitimate heirs to his authority, and that all other Muslims are not part of the "family." This point is used to argue that only the Prophet's closest followers are truly pious and deserving of salvation.
  • 00:30:00 This hadith is about those who do not give sadaqah to their family members at the end of the hadith. Shia scholars say that it applies to all members of the household, not just wives.
  • *00:35:00 Discusses the different verses in the Quran that can be used to describe relationships, and how some people argue that these verses should be included in the Quran as part of the foundations of the religion. He notes that this is not an argument that is made in the Quran itself, and that there is a hadith which speaks of Mahdi being from the soul of the religion. He goes on to say that this question of including the soul of the religion in the Quran is not an important point and that it can be debated.
  • 00:40:00 The narrator discusses the difference between Sunni and Shia beliefs concerning imam, and provides an example of a Shiite man who asked him to find an example of someone else being called a "welly" besides Soviet imams. The narrator explains that while Sunni Muslims believe that all of the generic requirements for guidance are not explicitly mentioned in the Quran, Shiites believe that their Imams are the only ones who possess the full knowledge and authority necessary to lead Muslims to salvation.
  • *00:45:00 Discusses Shi'ite beliefs about Imam. It discusses that although the Imams have political authority, they are higher in status than prophets. This is easily refuted by considering what the Quran says about Fatima and Mary.
  • 00:50:00 <>
  • *00:55:00 Discusses how some companions of the prophet Muhammad were considered hypocrites by other Muslims. It also notes that only men can be considered bedouins. then goes on to say that these companions are trustworthy and noble, and that Allah is pleased with them.

01:00:00 - 02:00:00

discusses various aspects of Shia Islam and how it differs from Sunni Islam. It also touches on the origins of the conflict between the two groups and why it is important to be careful not to excommunicate Shia Muslims.

*01:00:00 Discusses the concept of hypocrisy and how it is not present in Makkah because anyone who accepted Islam genuinely had to go through torture. It also discusses how migrating to Medina helped the sahaba live in peace and harmony with those who had migrated there.

  • *01:05:00 Discusses the Shia interpretation of a general verse in the Quran about those who have fought and given charity. The Shia believe that this verse applies specifically to Ali and those who follow him, and that it is a sign of their faith. All Muslims who have fought and given charity are considered to be on the right path, but those who do not meet these qualifications are "non-equivalent among you" and should be excluded.
  • 01:10:00 argues that it is reasonable to think that the Prophet Muhammad married non-believers because it is mentioned in Chapter 66 of the Quran, and Noah was informed about the deception his wife would be involved in.
  • 01:15:00 <>
  • 01:20:00 The munafi kun, who realized that some of the sahaba were close to the prophet, wanted to cause division and discord among them. He used hypocrisy and false claims of unity to try and achieve this. All of the sahaba eventually realized this and made it a point to visit the prophet in order to purify themselves. The munafi kun then said that the prophet should not even pray with them in the same room, as it would be inappropriate for him to be with them while they were not purified.
  • *01:25:00 Discusses Shiaism, specifically the principle that whatever a person says about the Sahaba, that is what Allah will say about them. The discussion also touches on the origins of animosity between Shia and Sunni Muslims, which stem from a dispute over leadership of the Muslim community after Muhammad's death.
  • 01:30:00 a Sunni Muslim scholar explains why al-Hasan (a grandson of Muhammad) would not give up his political authority to a disbeliever, and why this is evidence of al-Hasan's prophethood. The narrator also discusses the situation with Hasan's son, Hussein, who was martyred at the hands of a Shi'ite group.
  • *01:35:00 Discusses the similarities between Shiaism and Islam, and how Shia may disavow certain beliefs in order to be accepted by mainstream Muslims. It also points out the importance of being careful not to excommunicate Shia, as doing so could have negative consequences for them and could also lead to disrespect of the companions of the prophet Muhammad.
  • *01:40:00 Discusses Shia beliefs regarding the actions of the Sahaba, including the Prophet's companionship and how it is a criterion for belief. Shia beliefs differ from Sunni beliefs on this matter.
  • 01:45:00 The narrator explains that there is a hadith in the Sahaja Collection that says that Fatima withdrew from Muhammad until her death. He goes on to say that this hadith is connected to the Prophet's observation that Fatima died six months after his death.
  • 01:50:00 Shia Muslims allege that the Prophet Muhammad did not allow his daughter, Fatima, to inherit from her father because she was upset with him. Ali understood this and said that he would come to give her an inheritance tomorrow.
  • 01:55:00 The Shia community has two camps with regards to whether or not there has been tampering with the Quran. One camp believes that there has been tampering, while the other believes that there has not been.

02:00:00 - 02:25:00

discusses Shia beliefs about the Quran, the succession to the prophet Muhammad, and cursing Ali. Mohammed Hijab argues that the Quran was changed over time and that the prophet Muhammad was a failure because he did not transmit all of his teachings to his followers.

02:00:00 The Shia believe that the Quran was not in its perfect form when it was collected and that it was changed over time. They also believe that there is interpolation in the Quran.

  • *02:05:00 Discusses some of the common misconceptions and arguments made about Shiaism, including the claim that the Quran was changed over time. He also mentions that there is a consensus on the narration that the prophet left a successor, which is Abu Bakr.
  • *02:10:00 Discusses a hadith in which the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, requests a pen and paper to be brought to him so that he won't be misled after or misguided. also discusses how this hadith does not prove anything regarding the infallibility of the 12 imams or the correctness of the shia beliefs. There are various other issues raised which the hadith does not help to substantiate.
  • *02:15:00 Discusses Shiaism, and how Mohammed Hijab argues that because the prophet Mohammed was not able to transmit all of his teachings to his followers, he was a failure. He also cites a hadith which states that if someone takes information from the prophet, they are not following sufficient Islamic teachings.
  • *02:20:00 Discusses Shia beliefs about cursing Ali, which is seen as worse than fighting. The narrator provides two reasons why this is the case: First, because the hadith is not authentic, and second, because fighting is possible but cursing is not, because it results in the death of many people.
  • *02:25:00 Discusses Shia beliefs about the succession to the prophet Muhammad, which may be summarized as follows: Ali was supposed to bring the people pen and paper so that he could record who would be the next prophet, but he did not. This leads to criticism of Abu Bakr and Ali's son, Muhammad ibn Ali.

0:00:12 which of course is one of the major
0:00:14 breakaway sects of
0:00:16 islam and in fact that's what the word
0:00:19 means
0:00:22 means sex today we're going to be
0:00:23 talking about this and we have some very
0:00:26 interesting and important guests coming
0:00:28 from different parts of the uk who have
0:00:31 got some
0:00:32 important research for us that we're
0:00:33 going to be sharing of course in the
0:00:35 past we have done lots of things with
0:00:37 shiites three formal debates i think
0:00:41 is something you can access for myself
0:00:43 i've done three form of the base with ci
0:00:45 people so if of course you want to see
0:00:48 the shiite perspective and you want to
0:00:50 hear from a shiite person making the
0:00:52 claim
0:00:53 or the case then that is a a reference
0:00:56 point for everyone as well
0:00:59 so what we're going to be doing is we're
0:01:00 going to this is going to be
0:01:01 participant-led so
0:01:04 i'm going to be answering some questions
0:01:05 and then
0:01:07 adding my two cents as well
0:01:09 we're going to start with some of the
0:01:10 main themes in shiaism uh what we're
0:01:13 going to be doing is looking at three
0:01:15 major themes and then
0:01:17 a host of other things as well in terms
0:01:19 of
0:01:20 misconceptions that maybe people may
0:01:22 have the three major themes will be
0:01:24 number one imam the concept of imam
0:01:27 number two is going to be
0:01:31 or the idea of the companions and how
0:01:33 uh if or not they are trustworthy and if
0:01:35 they are just and this concept of
0:01:38 sahaba then thirdly we're going to be
0:01:39 talking talking about
0:01:41 conceptions of the quran and
0:01:43 indeed there is a difference of opinion
0:01:45 amongst sunni
0:01:46 and shia people on the quran
0:01:49 itself so let's start with the most
0:01:51 important thing
0:01:53 probably in terms of the differences
0:01:55 between sunnis and shiites which is imam
0:01:59 who wants to get us started with uh that
0:02:05 yep okay
0:02:17 which is the infallibility of 12
0:02:20 descendants of the prophet muhammad
0:02:22 sallallahu alaihi wasallam starting from
0:02:24 ali
0:02:26 to uh muhammad bin hasan and askari who
0:02:28 didn't exist but would leave that to one
0:02:30 side
0:02:32 yeah fictitious who
0:02:34 was born from a roman princess well at
0:02:36 times a nubian slave so that's a
0:02:37 different topic and in essence to the
0:02:40 shia it is
0:02:42 we have to bear that which is mine is
0:02:44 the fundamentals of religion and one
0:02:46 that does not believe in
0:02:48 imam of twelve infallible beings from
0:02:51 the lineage of the prophet muhammad
0:02:52 islam renders one a disbeliever and
0:02:56 there's enough proof for that in a sort
0:02:57 of cafe
0:02:59 yes
0:03:02 so that's just the so these are just for
0:03:04 those these are classical shia sources
0:03:06 from the third fourth and fifth century
0:03:08 okay
0:03:10 and the rest so that's sort of it in a
0:03:12 nutshell some claim that is
0:03:14 madhhab
0:03:15 from the shia perspective which is from
0:03:17 like jurisprudence from the sort of
0:03:20 schools of thought rather than
0:03:21 fundamentals uh credo or theology what's
0:03:24 the consequence of that consequence is
0:03:26 uh hellfire forever and we've got enough
0:03:27 evidence to prove that but meaning that
0:03:29 if um if you take the view yeah and
0:03:32 you're saying that there are two views
0:03:33 or at least two representatives one of
0:03:36 them is that some consider it is part
0:03:38 and parcel of the religion itself such
0:03:40 that if you don't believe in this
0:03:40 concept of imam then you're not even a
0:03:43 muslim you're not very muslim and others
0:03:45 say no actually this is just something
0:03:46 which differentiates shia people from
0:03:48 some people so it it makes you a shia
0:03:50 only yeah uh but it doesn't uh render
0:03:53 you in a past day or a non-muslim all
0:03:55 right so this this is why this is such
0:03:56 an important concept
0:03:58 and it differentiates differentiator in
0:04:00 terms of sunnis and shiites that's right
0:04:02 um
0:04:03 anything else on imam before we continue
0:04:05 from anyone else
0:04:08 i think it's very important to note this
0:04:10 yeah go ahead
0:04:16 if we just make a distinction from the
0:04:18 onset yes that the concept of imam to
0:04:20 the shia
0:04:22 all of them generally believe in this
0:04:23 doctrine or is it just
0:04:26 because we're using the word shia and
0:04:27 then we're saying they believe in the
0:04:29 concept of imam so if you maybe clarify
0:04:31 this right so the reason the thing with
0:04:33 the word raphaeli
0:04:34 which is i mean
0:04:36 it's usually seen as a pejorative term
0:04:39 okay now there are some of the shiite
0:04:42 people who actually accept that term for
0:04:44 themselves
0:04:45 uh you know the shirazis and others they
0:04:47 call themselves
0:04:51 yeah right right right however just for
0:04:53 the for the sake of academic clarity
0:04:56 not because
0:04:58 whatever other reason but
0:04:59 i think it's best to avoid pejorative
0:05:01 terms
0:05:03 it's naturally it's clear it's not yeah
0:05:05 it's better
0:05:06 yeah
0:05:07 that's fine because they would accept
0:05:08 that the point i want to postulate is
0:05:09 that we don't give an impression that
0:05:11 all of the shia i believe in this
0:05:12 doctrine i know majority may be that
0:05:14 it's not actually we have today but they
0:05:16 are a good point but there are certain
0:05:18 in german for example his idea right
0:05:20 right right who don't believe in the
0:05:21 concept of imam i think this is a very
0:05:22 good point the point here he's making is
0:05:25 that you've got to look at shias and not
0:05:26 as a monolith
0:05:28 but is that you know the major sect of
0:05:30 shiism itself is the twelver sect and
0:05:33 this is where you'll find in in iran in
0:05:35 iraq
0:05:45 you know
0:05:47 all subscribe to this particular doctor
0:05:48 but in yemen
0:05:50 they are more zadie inclined which is
0:05:52 they don't believe in this kind of type
0:05:54 of imam at all what we're describing and
0:05:56 in fact they've been the zadies in yemen
0:05:58 who are who also refer to
0:06:00 they have been accused by the shia as
0:06:02 being sunni so they're kind of in the
0:06:04 middle somewhere okay so it's not it's
0:06:06 not a uh
0:06:07 one-size-fits-all application number
0:06:09 number two is as you mentioned also
0:06:11 ismailis but they do believe in anima
0:06:13 but it's not the same twelve imams
0:06:16 that the twelvers believe and the reason
0:06:18 why twelvers are distinguished with that
0:06:19 title is because they say
0:06:21 there are twelve men
0:06:24 but there is no consensus among shiites
0:06:27 if we look at shiism as a whole you know
0:06:30 sect that there's only there's twelve
0:06:31 imams
0:06:32 that's a consensus only among the
0:06:33 twelvers and that's a good it's a good
0:06:35 distinction to make from the outset
0:06:37 i think um also it's important to
0:06:38 realize
0:06:40 that
0:06:41 there will be differences in how
0:06:44 shiites conceptualize the imams
0:06:47 how it's written in the books of shiites
0:06:49 it's pretty
0:06:51 um
0:06:52 it's pretty supernatural
0:06:54 to use this term so one thing which is
0:06:56 agreed upon is that these 12 imams
0:06:59 who are ali abner
0:07:05 that they are infallible which means
0:07:06 that they cannot commit mistakes okay
0:07:08 that's something we believe of the
0:07:10 prophets it's not something which is so
0:07:12 problematic from that perspective
0:07:15 but then
0:07:16 i mean for us it's problematic from a
0:07:18 perspective but it's not logically
0:07:20 problematic
0:07:21 when you go into the books like a cafe
0:07:23 and others which are you've got some of
0:07:25 those books here
0:07:27 which
0:07:28 for those who don't okay kaffi is the
0:07:29 kind of shiite equivalent of al-bukhari
0:07:31 although they would say that there's
0:07:33 lots of weak hadith and so on but it's
0:07:35 their strongest book of hadith
0:07:37 and you'll find chapter headings saying
0:07:39 things like you know the imam knows that
0:07:41 the every leaf that comes from the tree
0:07:44 the imam knows it
0:07:46 what what can what will be and what is
0:07:48 and so on so these kinds of notions
0:07:50 which is not dissimilar from a catholic
0:07:52 understanding of jesus christ
0:07:55 just i mean let's just be
0:07:56 straightforward about it it's not
0:07:57 dissimilar from a catholic understanding
0:08:00 of jesus christ the only major
0:08:02 difference would be is that they don't
0:08:03 call ali or any of the twelve imams god
0:08:07 and the secondary major difference is
0:08:09 that they'll say that all the powers
0:08:10 that these imams have
0:08:12 are given to
0:08:14 those imams
0:08:16 or with the permission of god
0:08:18 but then
0:08:19 the problem is still there you know can
0:08:22 god and this goes to this kind of
0:08:23 logical conundrums can god create
0:08:25 another god with his own will or can god
0:08:28 create a creature
0:08:30 which has one of his attributes at the
0:08:32 same level
0:08:33 and we would say this is actually
0:08:35 what the sunni position is this is a
0:08:37 form of shirk a form of apologism
0:08:39 because
0:08:40 we believe that all of the attributes of
0:08:42 god
0:08:44 are unlimited
0:08:46 they are they're the highest they can be
0:08:47 so if you say that well god knows
0:08:49 everything and now the imam knows
0:08:50 everything as well
0:08:52 so god and the imam know the same thing
0:08:55 the the level of knowledge that god has
0:08:58 and the level of god and knowledge that
0:08:59 the imam has is exactly the same
0:09:01 and then you have a range of verses of
0:09:03 the quran
0:09:04 which challenged the notion of
0:09:17 in chapter 46 i wasn't
0:09:19 an innovation from the prophets and i
0:09:21 don't know what's going to happen to me
0:09:22 or you this is a very clear verse
0:09:24 i don't know what's going to happen to
0:09:26 me or you
0:09:28 yeah yes also
0:09:30 just on this i'm going to say that
0:09:32 you're
0:09:33 in in saying that the imam has the same
0:09:35 knowledge as allah you've also refused
0:09:38 like denied the uniqueness of allah yeah
0:09:40 and when you look at obviously you know
0:09:42 when we talk about the imams i mean a
0:09:43 lot of them are
0:09:44 and you know this is figures that we
0:09:46 respect you know but uh you know in the
0:09:48 quran
0:09:53 that you know i would have basically had
0:09:54 a lot of good things happening to me and
0:09:55 no evil would have touched me because
0:09:57 obviously if you know everything
0:09:59 then you know then bad things you know
0:10:01 you're gonna know okay if i go here this
0:10:02 bad thing could happen if i make this
0:10:03 move then this could happen this could
0:10:04 happen
0:10:05 but obviously we're talking about human
0:10:07 beings and so therefore if you look at
0:10:08 their lives it's very clear to see that
0:10:11 they were in scenarios where they didn't
0:10:12 have a full appreciation of all of the
0:10:14 other the possibilities or what could
0:10:16 have happened great and what was the
0:10:18 best example of that
0:10:20 that they said not celebrate they mourn
0:10:22 the death of this person
0:10:25 so if he knew everything he knew that he
0:10:26 was walking straight into his death so
0:10:28 it's committing suicide
0:10:30 i mean the ideas you know we know from
0:10:32 the the practices of shiite there's lots
0:10:34 of things we disagree with
0:10:35 but i wouldn't say that they're
0:10:36 foundational like i think it's very
0:10:38 important also like a lot of people on
0:10:40 the on the lower levels when they attack
0:10:42 shiites they'll attack them on muta
0:10:44 temporary marriage
0:10:46 this is something which you don't need
0:10:47 to attack the world some will go further
0:10:49 than that and they'll say that this is
0:10:51 like prostitution
0:10:52 but in our religion this was at least
0:10:55 allowed in one point of time so what
0:10:57 you're calling a ruling that was allowed
0:10:59 at one point in time prostitution
0:11:01 is
0:11:03 you know yeah
0:11:04 exactly and so this is a very very
0:11:05 careful recognition careful it is a weak
0:11:08 argument uh it's just you know this is
0:11:10 for us as a farah yet
0:11:12 the issues of the branch matters
0:11:15 relating to these things
0:11:18 so
0:11:18 uh this is not these are not the
0:11:20 arguments we should present when we're
0:11:21 talking to shiites we should always talk
0:11:23 i think everyone will agree you know
0:11:25 about these things like imam or
0:11:29 adelaide sahabah et cetera
0:11:31 yeah please just to show you well it's
0:11:33 basically the hadith that carefully
0:11:34 dimensions about those who deny their
0:11:36 imams yes uh die is the death of
0:11:38 jahiliyyah so the imam was asked
0:11:55 is one of the classical scholars and
0:11:57 when he mentions the akhbar he says
0:12:02 these narrations about not knowing your
0:12:04 imam what did he say and this is
0:12:27 also says that you leave islam if you if
0:12:30 you don't believe that you know
0:12:31 12th supernatural supernatural human
0:12:33 being even if you deny one there's a
0:12:34 hadith in uh kamaladeen with him he says
0:12:38 the one that denies the first of us also
0:12:40 denies the last of us
0:12:42 so if you deny if you accept all the
0:12:44 iman's but deny like we don't accept
0:12:46 muhammad bin hassan the hidden imam
0:12:49 we've rejected well that would
0:12:50 disqualify the ismailis as well right
0:12:52 all of them that's why they are very
0:12:54 amongst themselves this idea we've got
0:12:56 narrations of wassail to share behold
0:12:58 were they expiring them as well
0:13:00 interesting what do you think now we've
0:13:02 put the case forward what do you think
0:13:04 the evidences that they will use for
0:13:06 imam ah
0:13:08 like if you're speaking to a shia what
0:13:10 would if what would they say
0:13:12 we'll say look this is our evidence for
0:13:13 imam
0:13:14 first of all sorry
0:13:16 could they say could they bring anything
0:13:18 from the quran which is explicit not
0:13:21 explicitly not sorry okay it's
0:13:23 impossible to bring anything like that
0:13:24 from the quran which is explicit saying
0:13:26 there's twelve infallible imams if you
0:13:28 follow them you're guided if you don't
0:13:29 follow them it's that kind of thing i'm
0:13:30 not even in those words but anything
0:13:32 that indicates exactly
0:13:33 indirectly all right fine what could
0:13:35 they bring now from the quran
0:13:39 to my mind
0:13:45 maybe
0:13:46 yeah all right so what is this ayah can
0:13:48 you translate it for us so this ayah is
0:13:50 in surah baqarah
0:13:51 ibrahim
0:13:53 islam
0:13:56 he responds by saying that
0:13:59 indeed we are
0:14:01 making you appointing you as an imam for
0:14:02 the people so ibrahim alaihissalam in
0:14:05 return asks
0:14:08 and for my progeny also make imam then
0:14:10 allah says
0:14:12 my pledge my promise will not
0:14:15 reach the volume in the transgressions
0:14:17 meaning they will not become imam so on
0:14:19 this point brother hajis had this book
0:14:21 of us
0:14:22 this evidence actually used in the book
0:14:25 yeah the same evidence is used in the
0:14:26 book uh is on the authority of imam
0:14:28 jaffa yes imam jaffar he says
0:14:40 a slave before he made him into a nabi
0:14:42 emissary
0:14:57 he made him to khalil friend beloved
0:14:59 and then
0:15:04 and indeed allah made him into a khalil
0:15:07 before he made him into an imam falam
0:15:11 i mean all of these things gathered for
0:15:12 ibrahimovic all these qualities then
0:15:14 allah said
0:15:17 imam the indeed we make you as an imam
0:15:19 for the people
0:15:20 therefore famine
0:15:24 islam saw the greatness of this position
0:15:26 of being imam allah says
0:15:29 he said oh allah from my project also
0:15:31 make imam allah said
0:15:36 and my promise will not reach the valley
0:15:38 mean the transgressors yeah so this is
0:15:39 in usual
0:15:41 in chapter 59
0:15:43 narration number two
0:15:45 okay brilliant so what do you think the
0:15:47 shiite will try and
0:15:49 say with this verse and what's the
0:15:51 argument how would you flesh out their
0:15:52 argument in prince
0:15:54 what are they trying to say
0:15:56 okay
0:15:57 so in essence they are extracting that
0:15:59 yeah imam
0:16:01 is a quality that ibrahim alaihi salam
0:16:02 had to reach right by going through all
0:16:04 of these stages and because of the
0:16:06 progeny of the prophet muhammad saddam
0:16:08 which is the best of progenies yeah they
0:16:10 didn't need to go through you know naboo
0:16:12 or or you know
0:16:14 russell or even a friend they could
0:16:16 reach that station brilliant okay like
0:16:17 that now let's get everyone else
0:16:18 involved and let me ask you the question
0:16:20 so how would you respond to this someone
0:16:22 brings this verse which is a common
0:16:24 verse that they will use what will be
0:16:25 your response
0:16:28 yeah so
0:16:30 if
0:16:31 if we take it as they're just talking
0:16:32 about just the fact that the word imam
0:16:34 is being used yeah we'll see in the
0:16:36 quran you have like imam being used in a
0:16:37 lot of like different contexts a lot of
0:16:39 different ways yes you know you've got
0:16:40 imam being like a referring to like a
0:16:42 book you have uh like imams and like you
0:16:45 have
0:16:47 you have imams that call towards the
0:16:49 health obviously now they're saying that
0:16:50 this is
0:16:51 a specifically a religious role i guess
0:16:53 it's it's a good thing because it's
0:16:54 being applied to ibrahim
0:16:56 the thing is that with that
0:16:58 all of these sort of attachments that
0:16:59 you bring to it sort of the theological
0:17:01 concept you're adding to it to make the
0:17:02 idea of you know as with all the things
0:17:04 you mentioned infallible has knowledge
0:17:06 the this position all these kind of
0:17:07 things that basis isn't there
0:17:10 okay so we could even grant for
0:17:11 argument's sake so this is very good uh
0:17:13 there's a difference between exit jesus
0:17:15 and i see jesus exegesis is when you
0:17:17 take something from the scriptural
0:17:20 text and you understand it from it so
0:17:22 you understand the words
0:17:24 and you understand from the book and i
0:17:25 said jesus is when you have your own
0:17:27 preconceived notion and superimpose it
0:17:29 onto the text
0:17:30 i think there's something that maybe we
0:17:31 should have mentioned before getting to
0:17:33 talk about these ayats because obviously
0:17:34 with the quran we mentioned at the
0:17:36 beginning they said for this is that
0:17:38 uh and obviously then like we have a
0:17:40 quranic basis to say that that which is
0:17:42 foundational should be stated explicitly
0:17:44 in the quran in a way that doesn't we
0:17:46 will come to that is i don't think
0:17:48 that's how i would make the the argument
0:17:50 that it should be stated in the quran
0:17:52 i'll come to this it's a good question
0:17:54 it's a good point but i think i'll put
0:17:55 it in a different way going back to the
0:17:57 point though
0:17:58 uh the point is if you
0:18:01 and this is your point the point is that
0:18:02 when you look at the quran the word imam
0:18:05 in the arabic language means a leader
0:18:07 and it's a neutral term because it could
0:18:09 mean
0:18:10 a leader which is positive and the
0:18:11 leader which is negative and the quran
0:18:13 uses both things
0:18:17 we have made them imams that guide to
0:18:18 the hellfire
0:18:22 so fight the imams of this belief
0:18:25 so you have positive and negative and
0:18:27 then you also have
0:18:29 imam
0:18:30 for the pious ones and imam
0:18:32 you know
0:18:40 not this one sajdah
0:18:46 yeah yeah yeah yeah but both i mean both
0:18:48 are yes it proves the point no i was
0:18:49 just thinking
0:18:50 the point is this is that you can have
0:18:51 it in positive and negative and it means
0:18:53 just a leader that's what imam means
0:18:54 right
0:18:56 now having said that
0:18:58 let's go back to the verse okay
0:19:01 what does it say it says that allah has
0:19:04 made ibrahim
0:19:10 want you to just before we answer this
0:19:11 question
0:19:14 this is
0:19:15 another surah
0:19:17 which is
0:19:24 okay where allah is speaking to ibrahim
0:19:27 once again
0:19:28 and he says and the same terminology is
0:19:30 being used
0:19:34 yeah
0:19:36 make a then for the people to come to
0:19:38 the hajj
0:19:40 and they'll come from
0:19:41 with every lean camel
0:19:44 yeah and if you know from every high
0:19:47 place meaning
0:19:48 is it is this a localized thing or is
0:19:50 this a universalized thing
0:19:53 it's a universalized thing
0:19:55 so the first thing is
0:19:56 if they say why is it that allah says
0:20:03 it's because ibrahim it could very
0:20:05 easily be argued that he has been made
0:20:08 just like the prophet muhammed but on a
0:20:10 lesser scale
0:20:12 he has been made
0:20:13 as a guide for all the people
0:20:16 he is actually made as a guide for all
0:20:18 the people and the evidence of that
0:20:19 is that we still
0:20:22 go to hajj
0:20:23 okay we still go to hajj now
0:20:25 and the initial call was given by brahim
0:20:29 and in that sense he's imam
0:20:31 in the sense that he is the spiritual
0:20:33 forefather of all of the other and
0:20:36 that's why we in the prayer we say
0:20:38 we connect the prophet muhammad with the
0:20:40 prophet
0:20:42 the point is
0:20:47 all of the prophets were imams in their
0:20:48 own capacity
0:20:50 but not all of them had the distinction
0:20:51 of being
0:20:53 ness or imams for the people
0:20:56 they were said for their certain nation
0:20:58 or their certainty yes
0:21:00 stands for leaders yes
0:21:02 the other thing this this verse cannot
0:21:04 be evidence for them is the verse itself
0:21:09 yes so why does the concept of imam
0:21:11 start from the prophet
0:21:15 why does the concept of imam begin from
0:21:17 the thuriya of prophet
0:21:19 ibrahim
0:21:21 because he said women
0:21:23 yeah yeah yeah the twelfth imams just
0:21:24 start from ibraheem islam
0:21:26 yeah meaning his sons ismail in this
0:21:27 haqq then upon the twelfth imams right
0:21:30 and the first mistake application of
0:21:32 three and this verse is the children of
0:21:33 ibraheem islam and this verse is against
0:21:35 them even more in another way so we've
0:21:37 said number one the word imam could be
0:21:39 neutral it could be not neutral uh it
0:21:41 could be
0:21:42 good or bad so it's neutral in that
0:21:44 sense number two we spoke about how
0:21:46 islam nas
0:21:47 number three if ibrahimo is that imam
0:21:50 how many imams are there
0:21:54 i mean because remember it's going to be
0:21:55 12 imams right
0:21:57 okay but if ibrahim is an imam now
0:21:59 there's 13 imams
0:22:01 but what about the prophet muhammad
0:22:03 is he not an imam
0:22:05 so he they would say he's a imam as well
0:22:07 so there's 14 what 14 imams
0:22:09 so now there's not 12 imams anymore so
0:22:12 you have a big problem here because if
0:22:14 you're trying to prove this concept from
0:22:15 the quran and you're saying look you can
0:22:18 see with ibrahim in the
0:22:20 you ibrahim
0:22:22 if he becomes imam you don't have to
0:22:23 imams anymore it's become distorted it's
0:22:25 become 13 imams
0:22:27 you see the point then that actually is
0:22:31 but i won't present it yeah
0:22:34 the imam is saying that there will be 12
0:22:36 iman from the offspring of the prophet
0:22:37 muhammad sallallahu alaihi now if you
0:22:39 think about it 12 from the offspring ali
0:22:41 from the offspring from the from the
0:22:43 oled but
0:22:44 isn't from the allah and he's the first
0:22:46 imam great good
0:22:48 13. that's another problem here isn't it
0:22:50 and there's too many problems and that
0:22:51 and up the line is authentic brilliant
0:22:53 now this is one evidence i think we've
0:22:55 dispatched with it
0:22:57 is there any other things do you think
0:22:58 they'll come back with because i haven't
0:22:59 heard them in all these years of
0:23:00 debating she has to respond to this
0:23:03 let's play that with advocates yeah
0:23:04 so if they say you know the argument the
0:23:06 first argument what you said about with
0:23:07 nurse and nasser
0:23:09 i don't know if they have like
0:23:11 in the same way that we do yeah but if
0:23:12 they say that that nurse in the eye of
0:23:15 bakara
0:23:16 that is it's made specified by other
0:23:19 hadith for example that would say that
0:23:21 the
0:23:22 that specified they're being imams for
0:23:24 each particular nation
0:23:26 would not apply to akhbar
0:23:28 it's only to come anyway
0:23:30 so this would be more quran right
0:23:32 so
0:23:34 don't apply to akbar
0:23:49 yep it just does it do you know no no
0:23:50 you don't come you can't there's nothing
0:23:52 like that
0:23:54 the quran explains itself this one i
0:23:56 explained yeah yeah no but the the the
0:23:57 the
0:23:58 the reason why it's impossible for us
0:23:59 and now the idea of generic and specific
0:24:01 specific to apply to akbar because it
0:24:04 would apply contradiction between verses
0:24:06 because actually one of the things is
0:24:08 a haas can
0:24:10 there's a difference of opinion here is
0:24:11 a haas
0:24:13 there's even a kalam on this between the
0:24:14 suli's
0:24:16 the haas is something which does
0:24:18 abrogation of that which is
0:24:20 uh general but i'm not saying that's
0:24:22 molten ishmael there's a debate but the
0:24:24 reason why they say that is because it
0:24:25 gives you information which in many ways
0:24:28 from one perspective seemingly
0:24:30 contradicts the information engineering
0:24:32 but this is impossible for
0:24:34 in the narratives it's it's only
0:24:36 possible in that camp
0:24:38 and it's also possible in as well
0:24:58 so they say so that nurse then that some
0:25:01 of the first thing will say that that's
0:25:03 referring to the prophet
0:25:04 okay so what
0:25:05 what is that is that is that doesn't do
0:25:07 anything for us we know that we know
0:25:09 that ness can be used it's called
0:25:12 what you call it
0:25:34 it's not all the people some of the
0:25:36 people so what's the difference between
0:25:38 this case
0:25:39 okay i got you
0:25:40 yes in this case is the the the context
0:25:44 makes it clear
0:25:46 the context makes it clear rather than
0:25:48 it's
0:25:49 it's not like
0:25:50 the the the
0:25:52 specific is impinging on the generic
0:25:54 here
0:26:03 is talking about everyone except for the
0:26:05 volume yeah and it can't be one person
0:26:06 because it's not yes it's talking about
0:26:08 more than one person here there's a
0:26:09 restriction now
0:26:10 yeah yeah
0:26:11 all right so that's that's one thing the
0:26:13 second thing is who has heard of and
0:26:15 let's bring some people that haven't
0:26:16 spoken
0:26:18 you haven't been here for some time so
0:26:19 i'm gonna have to throw you in
0:26:21 into the deep end okay
0:26:23 uh of the hadith of kiset
0:26:27 this is a huge one that they will use
0:26:29 okay what is it tell us
0:26:32 um
0:26:33 okay
0:26:34 so the i believe the hadith of kissa is
0:26:37 about the um
0:26:40 so i believe in ayah was revealed
0:26:42 um
0:26:43 and it was talking about the um
0:26:46 yes and following this the revelation of
0:26:48 this ayah um the prophet salallahu
0:26:51 he
0:26:52 went into the house i believe of um
0:26:57 or maybe someone else's house could be
0:26:58 wrong there
0:27:00 and one of the hadith came in yeah and
0:27:02 that's what they claim is like you know
0:27:05 into the the yeah
0:27:06 um so and in this hadith um the prophet
0:27:09 sallallahu alaihi he gathered
0:27:11 um
0:27:12 hussein hassan
0:27:16 and i believe maybe also fatima as well
0:27:20 and he said you know um
0:27:22 you know these are my utter debates
0:27:24 these are my
0:27:26 family yeah family members yeah okay and
0:27:29 then uh i believe in yeah there are
0:27:31 which includes um
0:27:33 she asked am i not your athlete
0:27:35 and
0:27:36 um
0:27:37 yeah i think here this may be a
0:27:39 different sort of like between different
0:27:40 wedding of hadith and
0:27:42 uh i believe in the uh you know the
0:27:45 hadith that they would like to use that
0:27:47 he said no you're not from
0:27:49 you know and it's these people who are
0:27:50 within my cloak
0:27:53 okay yeah and any uh now how what does
0:27:55 this show
0:27:57 someone else someone what do you think
0:27:59 this shows for them
0:28:01 and what point are they trying to make
0:28:03 uh how about you uh
0:28:07 what do you think they're trying to what
0:28:08 point are they trying to make that okay
0:28:10 buddy
0:28:11 the believers
0:28:12 are not part of the habit good so since
0:28:14 your wives are the prophets are not the
0:28:16 part of the family
0:28:18 and what are they what point are they
0:28:20 trying to make with the cassette that's
0:28:21 how these are the only ones right but
0:28:23 then how many are on that cassette
0:28:26 so is uh hassan hussein fatima yeah okay
0:28:30 so how many is that all together with
0:28:31 the prophet four
0:28:33 five incredible yeah okay great so how
0:28:35 many is it no
0:28:37 how many is i'm not oh the twelve okay
0:28:39 twelve all right so there's already an
0:28:41 issue here okay see okay
0:28:43 but let's let's um let's unpack this a
0:28:45 little bit how do you deal with this
0:28:47 particular hadith
0:28:52 first of all albeit and imams are they
0:28:53 the same concept
0:28:56 no okay remember the shias call
0:28:57 themselves bait as well
0:29:00 and bait though and this may be a
0:29:02 tangential point but they'll say that
0:29:05 the prophet left behind athakale the two
0:29:07 heavy things the quran and the bait
0:29:11 on the family of the prophets uh the
0:29:13 family of the prophet
0:29:14 and
0:29:15 this is the
0:29:16 hadith from the sunday books that they
0:29:17 will use the main hadith of the sunni
0:29:19 books that they will use
0:29:21 now it is connected to imams
0:29:23 because they'll say that this is also
0:29:25 the basis for imam
0:29:26 in many ways because it shows that these
0:29:28 are the people yeah who are chosen by
0:29:31 the prophet who the prophet chose and
0:29:33 from their extensions
0:29:35 who the imams will be
0:29:38 so what do we have to say about
0:29:41 that
0:29:47 how about yourself
0:29:49 see the elite itself and the thing
0:29:51 that's intimidating there is kalam
0:30:06 to the bait
0:30:10 now that hadith mentions about those
0:30:12 where sadaqah is not given to at the end
0:30:13 of the hadith
0:30:17 the family have a bus so the end the
0:30:19 verse that they use is about the
0:30:21 this is what this leads up to
0:30:24 that allah wants to purify you all
0:30:26 members of the household yeah okay
0:30:28 in according to the shia as well
0:30:30 according to the imam infallible imam
0:30:31 this just means shaq
0:30:33 which means doubt to remove doubt from
0:30:35 you it doesn't mean infallibility nor
0:30:37 does it mean
0:30:38 uh you know that you've got
0:30:40 12 lineage or 12 offspring from the
0:30:42 prophet muhammad islam so that it really
0:30:44 sub doesn't mean we have to do it
0:30:46 of the island
0:30:47 to follow okay to directly follow them
0:30:50 in connection with the quran it doesn't
0:30:51 mean that at all but they try to
0:30:53 obviously interpolate by saying no as
0:30:54 the prophet i mentioned the quran along
0:30:56 with it that means you have to follow
0:30:57 that a little bit great so how would you
0:30:59 deal with this if
0:31:01 you were dealing with shia right now
0:31:03 the evidence of
0:31:04 that you have to follow this this data
0:31:06 bait
0:31:07 is these these are under four in
0:31:09 addition
0:31:11 and they form the basis for the imams as
0:31:13 well no because the imams itself are not
0:31:16 being they've been divinely chosen by
0:31:18 god according to them so that hadith
0:31:19 doesn't mention who they are number one
0:31:21 okay because a little bait is vast it's
0:31:23 not restricted to the debate of hassan
0:31:26 so we need to narrow down now who are
0:31:28 these people that we need to follow
0:31:30 they can't prove that okay great yeah
0:31:32 yeah
0:31:33 even with that
0:31:34 muslim that there will be 12
0:31:36 they use that as well on top of it
0:31:38 there's no mention of those twelve and
0:31:40 it will come to this oh sorry i'm trying
0:31:42 to connect it with the number that's
0:31:43 good so yeah so there's no actual
0:31:44 evidence in it within itself which is
0:31:46 qatari that says that you have to troll
0:31:48 follow 12 members from the albeit of the
0:31:50 prophet muhammad saw it isn't just by
0:31:52 this hadith
0:31:53 okay if it's the extensions of
0:31:56 these
0:31:57 individuals that are underneath the
0:31:59 cloak
0:32:01 how how many uh extensions how many
0:32:03 people were
0:32:05 the children of al-hasan
0:32:07 the divorce hassan
0:32:09 from this
0:32:10 because if it's hadith he was under that
0:32:12 kissa so why isn't his offspring
0:32:13 included
0:32:14 okay great
0:32:15 so exactly exactly right
0:32:18 yeah so if this is the evidence
0:32:21 then now once again it doesn't actually
0:32:24 prove the point because if it's the
0:32:25 extensions then it will
0:32:41 why they're not involved in this and now
0:32:43 this is imams and uh
0:32:45 so they need another to cover that it's
0:32:46 restricted to them okay exactly which
0:32:49 they don't have
0:32:50 which is difficult for them it's
0:32:51 possible do you want to add to it yeah
0:32:53 so i think notwithstanding the hadith
0:32:56 intricacies and the kalam and the hadith
0:32:58 etcetera also the usually perspective
0:32:59 that even if a single chain of hadith is
0:33:02 authentic if it goes against the quran
0:33:05 which is definitive so out of allah and
0:33:07 his rasool etc those verses we don't
0:33:09 take that single solitaryness which
0:33:11 means that if a single chain of hadith
0:33:14 even hypothetically if we accept it to
0:33:16 be sahih
0:33:17 but if it contradicts the definitive
0:33:19 evidences of the quran which is
0:33:21 postulated otherwise yeah if that
0:33:23 obedience yeah other than that yeah then
0:33:26 we don't take that single hadith that's
0:33:27 number one okay
0:33:28 but as they say in a double bathroom
0:33:30 which means in the articles of the
0:33:32 discussion yeah that allah nazar will
0:33:35 come down to your level will we accept
0:33:38 we'll concede your argument that yes
0:33:41 should be followed right yes
0:33:44 yes hypothetically
0:33:46 the over mistake the first uh meaning of
0:33:49 application i'll obey his wife
0:33:57 told his family to stay here because he
0:33:59 saw fire from distance he was primarily
0:34:01 speaking to his wife
0:34:03 so why isn't aisha the allah
0:34:12 what other evidences can we can we show
0:34:14 from the quran that it includes wives
0:34:17 the same verses in question which is is
0:34:19 the one that starts with the only
0:34:20 certain the b like they're so
0:34:23 we're saying that the the address is
0:34:24 here directly explicitly to the uh to
0:34:27 the to the wives of the prophet because
0:34:29 they would have to say that you've got
0:34:31 all of these verses before and then the
0:34:33 part of the verse and then the end of
0:34:34 the verse which is obviously explicitly
0:34:36 addressing the women yeah but then it's
0:34:38 only this one part here that's that's
0:34:39 not that verse is good
0:34:46 or allah
0:34:52 so this verse itself which they refer to
0:34:54 as
0:34:55 purification it starts off by speaking
0:34:57 to the wives of the prophet and then it
0:34:59 says
0:35:00 in them
0:35:12 practically for those who believe in
0:35:14 such a thing as taraduf which means
0:35:16 synonyms in the quran
0:35:19 synonyms but if they're not they can be
0:35:21 used interchangeably and they both mean
0:35:22 family by ishmael the or the consensus
0:35:25 of those who are in dictionaries
0:36:00 but i'm thinking of another verse
0:36:02 because we've mentioned two one more
0:36:04 yeah
0:36:06 um said did you not wonder at the decree
0:36:08 of allah and his mercy
0:36:52 linguistically and now
0:36:55 yeah but quran is present now
0:36:58 not just linguistically even in our um
0:37:01 in our conventional usage i'm here with
0:37:03 my family
0:37:05 what's the first thing the first sword
0:37:06 that comes to mind when i say i'm here
0:37:07 with my family wife
0:37:10 sure sure and and there are hadith that
0:37:12 say that when you approach your l
0:37:15 and it's meaning sexual intercourse now
0:37:17 this will be very problematic but
0:37:18 obviously um
0:37:20 there is no uh we're sticking with the
0:37:21 quran for obvious reasons right but so
0:37:24 ah and arabic languages clearly means
0:37:26 wives
0:37:28 but that's why they translate it as the
0:37:30 best of you are the best of your wives
0:37:32 you know because
0:37:33 uh al and ethel
0:37:35 uh it means uh it means
0:37:37 wives uh as per the quranic discourse
0:37:42 when the protestant uh entered upon uh
0:37:45 the room of aisha and the prophet saws
0:37:58 i'm sure we can go to the arabic uh
0:38:00 poetries and stuff like that
0:38:02 i'm not to go to i'm not going to do
0:38:04 that
0:38:04 myself but we can maybe do it some other
0:38:06 day but we can get the the word for
0:38:08 pre-islam meaning that
0:38:11 so
0:38:12 if they say we have to follow that bait
0:38:14 the wives of the prophet they'll say
0:38:16 it excludes
0:38:18 the the wives of the prophet and but
0:38:22 then there's another issue
0:38:26 as per the shiite conception is there
0:38:29 anyone else they consider to be a debate
0:38:36 right so you've got people other people
0:38:38 what about al habess
0:38:43 the uncle of the prophet muhammad what
0:38:45 is his status
0:38:46 not very
0:38:48 not very um he's not inclusive uh even
0:38:51 at best i know that i have passed
0:38:53 so yeah that why isn't he included it's
0:38:56 a good question yeah
0:38:58 what do we do with them do you give them
0:38:59 sadhaka now or do we what do we do
0:39:02 they're going back to your point about
0:39:03 sadaqa right because you don't give
0:39:05 salah sorry they're cats
0:39:09 so there will be a lot of these
0:39:10 questions now that's dealing with imam
0:39:13 and the issues of it
0:39:15 we've shown decisively that there really
0:39:17 is no basis for this now going back to
0:39:19 your question you say okay well should
0:39:21 and this is an important question should
0:39:23 all of the soul of the religion the
0:39:25 foundations the critical foundations of
0:39:28 the religion be included in the quran
0:39:30 we don't need to
0:39:32 say yes or no for example
0:39:33 it's not mentioned in the quran because
0:39:35 someone could argue that he's mentioned
0:39:36 that he is from the soul of the religion
0:39:38 al-mahdi
0:39:39 for example fine oh
0:39:49 the punishments of the grave
0:39:51 it's not that
0:39:54 should it be mentioned in the quran
0:39:55 that's not the argument
0:39:58 we have a hadith which is narrated by
0:40:00 umar muhattab which is one of the most
0:40:02 famous hadiths
0:40:04 if not the most famous hadith in all of
0:40:05 islam
0:40:07 islam uh what do you call it
0:40:09 when the angel said to the prophet he
0:40:11 said what is it islam and then he told
0:40:12 him the five pillars and then says
0:40:22 and he mentions the six pillars of iman
0:40:23 to believe in allah to believe in the
0:40:25 angels to believe in the the the
0:40:28 the and so on and
0:40:30 and the books and the last day and qatar
0:40:33 predestination
0:40:34 this these are the foundations of the
0:40:36 akita of islam they are narrated by one
0:40:38 of the protagonists of the sunni creed
0:40:40 who is um
0:40:43 can we find those six in the quran
0:40:46 can we find the five pillars of islam in
0:40:47 the quran
0:40:48 can we find the idea of the quran yes so
0:40:51 everything that is narrated as the
0:40:53 foundations of islam
0:40:55 as per the most
0:40:56 foundational things we believe in all of
0:40:58 it can be found in the quran
0:41:01 even there's one verse in swaziland
0:41:18 there's other verses
0:41:24 and so and so on the six pillars of iman
0:41:26 can be found in the quran
0:41:28 the sixth five years of islam can be
0:41:30 found the quran
0:41:31 so isn't it isn't that conspicuous
0:41:33 absence
0:41:35 that all of these things can be found in
0:41:36 the quran
0:41:38 but what they have a hadith which is
0:41:39 very similar to that is their version of
0:41:43 hadith
0:41:44 which is uh
0:41:58 so it mentions the five pillars and one
0:42:00 of them is
0:42:01 wiley by the way is sometimes synonymous
0:42:03 with imam this word
0:42:05 so if what you're saying is the
0:42:07 foundations of the religion one of those
0:42:09 things is imam with the concept of 12
0:42:11 infallibles
0:42:13 and that's not found in the same way as
0:42:15 all the things we found we consider
0:42:18 foundational then the question is why
0:42:20 it's not the burden of proof is not upon
0:42:22 me
0:42:23 to tell you or it should be or shouldn't
0:42:24 be or all the things have to be in the
0:42:26 quran or the dean whatever what you want
0:42:28 to call it i'm not making this argument
0:42:30 i'm just saying why is it that something
0:42:32 so foundational is not in the quran
0:42:37 the quran says we haven't left anything
0:42:39 from the book ishmael a lot of scholars
0:42:41 say this is
0:42:42 all the generic things that are required
0:42:44 for guidance have not been left out of
0:42:45 the book
0:42:46 the best thing you can find for me is
0:42:48 this idea of indi
0:42:51 nasi imam
0:42:52 this is with the the the a that we spoke
0:42:55 about with ibrahim it's not strong
0:42:57 enough and it's not good enough and it's
0:42:58 not good enough to put someone in the
0:42:59 hell fire forever
0:43:02 how could i mean you know put someone in
0:43:04 the hellfire for something which is
0:43:06 not even mentioned clearly in the quran
0:43:09 there's a narration we're not captain
0:43:23 i remember these narrations when we were
0:43:25 going through this yes he's
0:43:27 it's a really good point and there are
0:43:29 other
0:43:30 they say well
0:43:31 i had this i had this conversation they
0:43:33 went and sent me viral with one of the
0:43:35 shiites
0:43:36 he said to me find me one
0:43:39 example of someone else being called a
0:43:41 welly
0:43:43 yeah yeah he said there's someone else
0:43:45 being called welly apart from the soviet
0:43:47 imams
0:43:48 i said well we are called
0:43:52 bad
0:44:49 your imam is telling me that he's not an
0:44:51 imam but you're throwing me into the
0:44:52 half-life for not believing in him
0:44:55 there you have it and they do believe
0:44:57 that they will say it with the the way
0:44:59 that they will um
0:45:01 do that wheel of these or they're all
0:45:02 kind of hermeneutically
0:45:04 squirm away from these particular
0:45:06 narrations is by saying things like
0:45:09 well
0:45:11 which means and this is a concept which
0:45:13 is
0:45:14 is known right
0:45:16 they can do it to keep their religion
0:45:19 is ideal of hiding something even to
0:45:21 them we're lying about something this
0:45:22 even to the point that
0:45:24 one of their major scholars in the
0:45:25 fourth century in his muslim is akida
0:45:28 wrote that if you reject taqiyya you are
0:45:30 careful but then we'll feed how to do it
0:45:33 and goes no no no can you translate the
0:45:35 arabic sounds well basically that if you
0:45:37 reject like the simulation of your faith
0:45:39 so obviously in islam you know sunnah we
0:45:41 believe you can
0:45:42 sort of utter words of disbelief if it
0:45:45 you know if your life's at risk or
0:45:46 something so that's used but in in
0:45:49 in uh what you called in
0:45:51 they could use it to dissimulate their
0:45:53 faith and also use it to reconcile with
0:45:56 people but then manifest it later
0:45:58 so sadok said if you reject taqiyya then
0:46:01 you are a disbeliever then al-mufid who
0:46:04 came i think in the fifth century had to
0:46:06 write a task
0:46:07 which means the correction of the belief
0:46:08 and he said no no no we don't accept
0:46:10 this and he went into a laborative
0:46:11 discussion so it shows up there's a
0:46:13 discussion on whether this thing is
0:46:15 lying and i think this as well like
0:46:17 check this out you have to remember
0:46:19 shiite books or their books were very
0:46:21 very
0:46:22 secretive
0:46:23 so if you look at me
0:46:25 he never quotes from their works because
0:46:27 he was not accessible
0:46:29 what his interactions what he had he
0:46:31 used to base or formulate his beliefs
0:46:32 upon there now we live in a global
0:46:34 village where we've got it in our hands
0:46:35 now this wasn't the idea of the early
0:46:38 shia scholars where we could have their
0:46:40 books and we could refer to it so
0:46:42 bearing that in mind
0:46:45 yeah so that's that's that that's that's
0:46:47 good all right so i think if unless
0:46:48 there's anything that's pressing
0:46:51 and from anyone that you think uh is
0:46:54 important and pertinent on this issue of
0:46:55 imam
0:46:56 is there anything that you think could
0:46:58 be a conversation with someone before i
0:47:00 came here yes and he said that one of
0:47:01 the things that's important to to look
0:47:03 at with this is exactly what capacity
0:47:05 what does that mean to be an imam
0:47:07 like is it is it like a position of
0:47:09 political authority or leadership
0:47:11 or is it a position of like just
0:47:13 spiritual influence
0:47:15 exactly and so there is a i think this
0:47:17 is where maybe we can bring this hadith
0:47:20 of uh
0:47:22 even
0:47:28 because they'll say look you know the
0:47:30 sunni books say there's going to be 12
0:47:34 now what does the word khalifa mean
0:48:00 we have given you
0:48:01 authority on the earth
0:48:03 or successorship authority and so on
0:48:06 now
0:48:07 this is very clear
0:48:09 in the quran we don't need to go to
0:48:10 hadees or books or whatever
0:48:13 the word khalif indicates political
0:48:15 authority a very simple question
0:48:18 is
0:48:19 did any
0:48:21 we do know some of them did actually
0:48:24 how many of the two of the twelve
0:48:27 how many of the twelve so-called imams
0:48:31 had political authority
0:48:33 two two two yeah so they couldn't have
0:48:36 been
0:48:37 it could not be this hadith where it's
0:48:39 talking about twelve years
0:48:41 cannot be speaking about them
0:48:43 because if they weren't they were simply
0:48:45 not given that
0:48:47 station
0:48:48 in the same way the wood was in the
0:48:50 quran
0:48:51 by the way
0:48:52 which kind of insulted
0:48:54 this verse as well it's in um
0:48:57 uh of um
0:48:59 and he mentioned on the day of judgment
0:49:01 an announcer would announce from inside
0:49:03 the throne where is the khalifa on the
0:49:05 earth
0:49:06 so i was making this announcement
0:49:08 so the prophet of allah will stand up
0:49:10 and so a voice will say we did not mean
0:49:13 you
0:49:14 although you were allah then the second
0:49:16 landman was made and where allah found
0:49:18 earth then amir muhammadin gets up so a
0:49:21 voice will come from allah the most high
0:49:22 this is
0:49:24 on the earth
0:49:25 so yeah and this and this is important
0:49:27 to note that according to authentic
0:49:29 right
0:49:30 according to shia i believe
0:49:33 the imams um are higher
0:49:36 in status
0:49:38 than the prophets with the exception of
0:49:40 prophet muhammad with the exception so
0:49:42 they will say ali is better than ibrahim
0:49:45 now with this how can we refute it quite
0:49:47 easily
0:49:48 well what does the quran say about that
0:49:50 fatima is better than
0:49:52 mary
0:49:53 okay but what about the quran what does
0:49:55 it say about that
0:50:10 given them virtue over everybody they'll
0:50:12 say that
0:50:13 includes the imams
0:50:16 there's another area
0:50:20 as well he mentions that the sahaba
0:50:23 uh the taharif of the verse so it says
0:50:27 that they did um they tampered with the
0:50:28 verse so allah chose
0:50:33 but also ali muhammad was in there and
0:50:34 it's it's narrated it's authentic in
0:50:36 that book i'll give you yeah that's a
0:50:38 very good point that's interesting i
0:50:39 didn't know that i wanted i want to ask
0:50:41 just quran quiz i guess you know
0:50:44 there's another verse just to give you
0:50:46 and maybe i'm trying to pretend that i
0:50:47 know it you know
0:50:50 hey so where
0:51:37 well they have a strong belief that the
0:51:39 quran has been tempered
0:51:43 yeah okay so i'll stop them i'll stop
0:51:45 and there's one more thing sorry before
0:51:47 you before you make a point
0:51:49 one more verse now fatima who's higher
0:51:51 fatimah or or the prophet's daughter
0:51:53 fatima or mary
0:51:56 what's the evidence in the quran
0:51:59 now you can go to al-ahmar
0:52:14 that's very clear that allah has chosen
0:52:16 you and favored you and chose you over
0:52:18 whom
0:52:19 all of the women of the all of the women
0:52:21 of the
0:52:23 alam in the the worlds
0:52:26 so
0:52:26 this indicates superiority of mary over
0:52:30 fatima
0:52:32 it does indicate that
0:52:33 so in this case you can't say that i
0:52:36 mean
0:52:37 the hell bait
0:52:39 giving them that status at the expense
0:52:42 of profits and messengers that have come
0:52:44 from completely different lineage
0:52:46 is something which is anti-chronic
0:52:48 discourse
0:52:49 very clearly
0:52:54 i know mentioned specific verses but
0:52:56 just the general point of that if imam
0:52:58 is more important than prophethood you
0:53:01 have so many as you mentioned prophets
0:53:02 being mentioned by names in the quran
0:53:04 like these imams are not mentioned by
0:53:05 name none of them are mentioned by them
0:53:07 yeah not one of them is mentioned by
0:53:08 them ali is not mentioned by name
0:53:10 explicitly the concept of prophethood is
0:53:12 throughout the quran like you know it's
0:53:14 hard to go a few pages without coming
0:53:15 across a mention of prophets or history
0:53:17 exactly that's the first thing the
0:53:18 second thing is we said with regarding
0:53:20 the position of the imams whether it's a
0:53:22 political position or a spiritual one we
0:53:24 said if it's or in the hadith of
0:53:29 if it's political as we said like only
0:53:31 two of them had political authority
0:53:33 exactly but then the question is so if
0:53:34 it's not political and it's spiritual
0:53:36 yeah then what's all the what's all the
0:53:38 the commotion about to do with abu bakr
0:53:40 and um
0:53:42 like the whole point of shitism is just
0:53:44 we've just lost it yeah yeah because why
0:53:45 why should we
0:53:46 they'll come back with some
0:53:49 he usurped the rights i don't want to go
0:53:51 into that now because it will be more in
0:53:52 this next section here but before i go
0:53:54 to the next section does anyone have
0:53:56 anything else to say about imam
0:54:00 are we talking
0:54:02 about
0:54:05 sorry mama yeah imam still okay i'll
0:54:07 give you one then one narration please
0:54:09 do yeah yeah it's in command to deal
0:54:11 with
0:54:12 to the point to show you that this is
0:54:14 from the fundamentals beautiful mentions
0:54:16 uh
0:54:18 allah is talking to the prophet
0:54:20 sallallahu island and says muhammad if a
0:54:22 slave
0:54:24 this is in the book itself yeah uh
0:54:26 kamaladin which is by asado okay okay
0:54:29 okay and so he mentions it's lengthy but
0:54:31 i'll get to the main point he mentions
0:54:33 oh muhammad if
0:54:34 a slave worshiped me to the point that
0:54:36 he becomes tired and his body body
0:54:38 becomes brittle as milk i mean bit
0:54:40 brittle as musk i and he rejects your
0:54:43 willah i mean there we lie i mean a
0:54:45 little
0:54:46 yeah then
0:54:48 i will not give him any mercy i will not
0:54:50 place him under the ar even if he's to
0:54:52 worship to the point that he will
0:54:54 worship and his body becomes tired but
0:54:56 does not believe
0:54:57 in the will
0:55:02 then i will not give him shade
0:55:03 underneath my eye it's very clear it's
0:55:05 very clear yeah
0:55:06 so this is this would i think even shias
0:55:09 would use us against other shias who say
0:55:10 yeah
0:55:11 but now move on to the next thing which
0:55:13 is
0:55:17 the idea
0:55:18 well first of all
0:55:20 we have to kind of translate these terms
0:55:22 okay the justice if you like of
0:55:25 uh or the just status of the companions
0:55:28 of the prophet muhammad sallallahu
0:55:29 alaihi salaam so let's
0:55:31 let's first let's get a definition of
0:55:33 what a companion is who knows what the
0:55:35 sunni definition of what companion is
0:55:40 let's get someone first see
0:55:45 and
0:55:46 and was a muslim and and said islam and
0:55:51 died upon that one yeah
0:55:56 yeah
0:55:57 okay so okay let's let's put this in
0:55:58 perspective how many people are we
0:56:00 talking about here
0:56:05 yeah all right but how many people do
0:56:06 really do we know of that sahaba like we
0:56:09 have their
0:56:10 their names biographies
0:56:13 about four to five
0:56:14 thousand remember
0:56:16 wrote a book uh regarding the sahabah
0:56:18 yeah
0:56:19 that's all yeah you could i don't know
0:56:20 the numbers are the best five thousand
0:56:22 forty five thousand a four two five four
0:56:24 to five yeah four to five that we've got
0:56:26 their actual
0:56:27 full details and okay
0:56:29 so that's like two secondary schools
0:56:32 you know they really interacted with the
0:56:34 prophet it's like you know
0:56:36 put in a crude example having a head
0:56:37 teacher for two schools it's not
0:56:39 impossible my head teacher
0:56:42 knew me by name i'm sure maybe when you
0:56:45 were in secondary school your head
0:56:46 teacher knew you by name you might have
0:56:48 been year seven year eight
0:56:51 in the case of brother he always
0:56:52 looked like he was in year seven
0:56:59 um you know and so on but
0:57:02 you know it's not something
0:57:03 inconceivable at all you know these
0:57:05 people that live with the prophet they
0:57:07 they fought with the prophet
0:57:09 they ate with him
0:57:10 and so on okay these are the people
0:57:12 we're talking about now what is the
0:57:14 first thing we would say
0:57:17 to evidence
0:57:18 that these are the people
0:57:22 that we
0:57:23 take our religion from we accept our
0:57:26 uh good people that we are trustworthy
0:57:29 people what for us is the main evidence
0:57:31 from the quran that indicates their
0:57:33 trustworthiness and their noble status
0:57:36 these companions of the prophet
0:57:38 let's go to matthew
0:57:41 beautiful
0:57:43 okay so this is in chapter 9 verse 100.
0:58:20 is pleased with them and they are
0:58:22 pleased with him
0:58:24 there's nothing really more
0:58:26 clear than that
0:58:29 and then allah he tells us what kind of
0:58:31 you know uh goodness they will get
0:58:33 heaven and all this kind of thing
0:58:38 he says that he says that they are
0:58:40 pleased with him and they are pleased
0:58:42 with him
0:58:45 this is
0:58:47 clear
0:58:48 what would they say back to this
0:58:53 okay so the first let's go for the verse
0:58:59 yeah so no problem let's go with that
0:59:02 it says and those who are around you
0:59:03 from the bedouins
0:59:05 are hypocrites
0:59:15 you don't know them allah knows them
0:59:17 how would you respond
0:59:19 to this
0:59:26 okay brilliant okay excellent what does
0:59:27 what arab mean
0:59:29 bedouins okay so this could not be
0:59:32 talking about
0:59:33 omar
0:59:34 or the wives of the prophet because none
0:59:36 of them were bedouins yeah
0:59:39 and first of all women men
0:59:41 are all of the arab
1:00:02 it's not all of them
1:00:04 yeah yeah and
1:00:06 i just want to add on this you know the
1:00:07 whole concept of
1:00:09 hypocrisy because the
1:00:11 uh
1:00:12 they postulate
1:00:24 this is very clear from the quran
1:00:26 that the concept of started in madinah
1:00:30 the concept of nifak started in
1:00:33 medina
1:00:34 yeah the concept of
1:00:36 hypocrisy never existed in makkah
1:00:38 because in makkah whoever sincerely
1:00:41 accepted iman they had to go through
1:00:42 torture wow so ammunafi wouldn't accept
1:00:45 iman just just just so he can show
1:00:48 himself to the world that he's a mean
1:00:50 and then get tortured nobody's willing
1:00:51 to take torture for nothing you know
1:00:53 there's no benefit in accepting
1:00:55 islam outwardly inside makkah
1:00:58 yeah it's a really good really good
1:00:59 point so so the concept of
1:01:01 looking at the staff here in new zealand
1:01:04 et cetera is very clear in the surah
1:01:06 that is the concept of nifak started in
1:01:08 medina
1:01:19 now there is something we can say this
1:01:21 is one verse let's let's put all the
1:01:22 verses out there which are the most
1:01:23 powerful
1:01:25 this isn't sort of tawba
1:01:27 there's two more i want you to think
1:01:28 about because now you've spoken about
1:01:30 immigration
1:01:31 think about it
1:01:35 what are we talking about
1:01:37 maybe we should go to
1:01:39 and look at it chapter 59 of the quran
1:01:43 no this is not
1:01:45 yeah
1:02:10 is referring to the sahaba in in in
1:02:12 medina
1:02:13 because manhattan
1:02:15 those who migrate towards them referring
1:02:17 to the world what does it say about
1:02:18 those uh
1:02:23 so which means
1:02:24 they lived there so they loved the ones
1:02:26 who immigrated
1:02:36 that they never ever found any sort of
1:02:38 any difficulty or need because of these
1:02:40 people you know any sort of burden that
1:02:42 these people have migrated they didn't
1:02:43 find any burden rather they would give
1:02:45 preference to them
1:02:46 so
1:03:06 to make a place as your accommodation
1:03:07 yes as your residency yes so they made
1:03:10 the accommodation dar meaning medina is
1:03:12 referring to medina but also iman
1:03:15 iman is a kefir
1:03:17 you cannot make it
1:03:18 iman is is is a modality is is faith is
1:03:21 to do with the heart is the morality of
1:03:23 the heart you cannot make iman as your
1:03:25 house beautiful yeah you cannot make
1:03:27 iman as your
1:03:28 house you guys you can make birmingham
1:03:30 london bradford as your house
1:03:39 but down here
1:03:40 the prophet
1:03:42 allah is
1:03:43 at that time they made medina as their
1:03:46 homes
1:03:47 and iman as their homes
1:03:49 and and then one of our teachers gave an
1:03:51 example he asked a question
1:03:53 he said
1:03:54 uh so can you imagine uh can you imagine
1:03:58 um
1:04:00 a person uh a resident without the
1:04:02 residency meaning can you imagine a
1:04:05 person living inside a home without the
1:04:07 home
1:04:08 you can't
1:04:10 you can't be because
1:04:12 if even if you imagine a home uh without
1:04:15 anybody living
1:04:16 uh then at that home after a while
1:04:19 you'll see you know it it'll get worn
1:04:21 out it'll be you know
1:04:23 it won't be a home it will be home
1:04:24 anymore yeah and then he asked the
1:04:26 question
1:04:27 uh what's the residency or where's the
1:04:30 place of for a fish for example water
1:04:33 yeah the musk gun
1:04:35 of a fish is
1:04:37 is water
1:04:38 now if anybody wants to enter the water
1:04:40 they have to imitate the fish in order
1:04:42 to survive
1:04:44 likewise whoever comes into iman they
1:04:46 have to imitate the sahaba in order to
1:04:47 survive why because the musken primary
1:04:49 muscle of the sahaba is iman
1:04:52 and this can be this this this this uh
1:04:54 tafsir
1:04:55 can be uh
1:04:57 postulated also from the quranic verse
1:04:59 that allah has made the criterion
1:05:02 of the imam of the sahaba as a choice
1:05:32 second person yes and who is it talking
1:05:34 to the primary audience recipients of
1:05:37 the quran yes
1:05:40 so the so if that's the case
1:05:42 then if they believe in what you guys
1:05:45 believe in i.e the the the second person
1:05:50 who uh or the the recipient of this end
1:05:53 user who has haba then they're on the
1:05:56 right path
1:05:58 if you're going through uh shia exegesis
1:06:00 all of these pronouns is the
1:06:03 this storm and home refers to ali and
1:06:05 albeit this martini this you have to
1:06:07 remember as well the shia will always
1:06:09 grab these verses and say it's ali no
1:06:11 problem but we're we're bringing them
1:06:13 well
1:06:15 iman
1:06:32 it's a general verse now it's
1:06:35 a general
1:06:37 phrase in arabic so it's talking about
1:06:39 all of those who's come all of those now
1:06:41 you have to
1:06:42 exclude from the general
1:06:54 they don't find any problem for these
1:06:56 people they don't have it so so this is
1:06:58 a big issue so we've mentioned two major
1:07:00 verses one is the tawbah one
1:07:02 there's a third one which we need to
1:07:04 look at
1:07:11 it's the last verse
1:07:27 manifest iman on the outside but into
1:07:29 your heart you don't believe yeah but
1:07:30 this verse testifies to what's in their
1:07:32 hearts can we translate it because allah
1:07:34 says that
1:07:34 you will see them
1:07:36 that you see him that that they're
1:07:38 they're
1:07:39 doing
1:07:40 this is the external form bowing which
1:07:42 is bowing and frustrating which is what
1:07:43 you would expect to see from unafraid
1:07:45 yeah you wouldn't be able to take
1:07:47 but says
1:07:51 which is something that's internal which
1:07:52 is that they're seeking the pledge the
1:07:54 the pleasure of allah basically yeah so
1:07:57 allah is saying that you they are not
1:07:58 saying that they've got the external but
1:08:00 they also have the internal as well and
1:08:01 this this claim of nifak is immediately
1:08:03 finished
1:08:04 will be found in the torah and indeed as
1:08:06 well so again that they they yeah
1:08:41 the ones non-equivalent among you are
1:08:43 those who
1:08:44 uh have uh fought and given charity
1:08:47 before the conquest and um
1:08:50 you know from those who've given
1:08:51 afterwards but they could say with that
1:08:53 one the conquest before that is even
1:08:55 people of medina the the
1:08:58 the albeit and so on this is not as this
1:09:00 is not the one i was looking for
1:09:02 no no because they'll say it's not
1:09:05 talking about yeah
1:09:06 yeah so there's something else in
1:09:08 that
1:09:10 so yeah
1:09:19 yeah so how would you translate this
1:09:21 uh i was pleased with those who gave the
1:09:23 pledge under this under the tree yep and
1:09:26 then what was the result and he knew
1:09:27 what was in their heart
1:09:32 who's under the tree
1:09:34 can we can we find out who's under that
1:09:36 tree because that's we'll seal the deal
1:09:38 right and just add the the the reason
1:09:40 why allah the sabbath here was
1:09:43 to negotiate when the prophet saw when
1:09:45 the companions wanted to do umrah yeah
1:09:47 and rumors were spreading that's
1:09:49 killed yeah so the privatization took a
1:09:51 pledge to fight
1:09:52 the mushrikeen to avenge uthman
1:09:55 so here again look at this
1:09:58 who was under that tree
1:10:11 giving pledge of allegiance to the
1:10:12 prophet and spiritually they uh
1:10:14 can you do you think that's a reasonable
1:10:15 argument
1:10:17 have you ever heard it because i've
1:10:18 never actually heard it no no
1:10:20 i've never heard such an argument in my
1:10:21 life
1:10:22 okay yeah so that three verse three
1:10:24 verses verse 18 of surah yeah so allah
1:10:27 speaking about the same people
1:10:29 later on in verse
1:10:31 26
1:10:37 what does lazim here mean obligatory
1:10:39 yeah obligatory so our teacher explain
1:10:41 this
1:10:42 is for example down here you can't
1:10:44 imagine the sun
1:10:47 without its light you can't imagine
1:10:48 water without its wetness you can't
1:10:49 imagine sugar honey without its
1:10:51 sweetness
1:10:52 yeah necessary necessary so allah
1:10:54 subhanahu wa is made
1:10:56 the the kalima the word of taqwa meaning
1:11:01 for the sahaba meaning like you can
1:11:02 imagine these three things without the
1:11:04 intrinsic qualities you can't imagine
1:11:05 the sun without its light sugar without
1:11:07 your sweetness water without his redness
1:11:09 in the same manner you cannot imagine
1:11:11 the sahaba without iman but then the
1:11:13 question is that allah impose this on
1:11:16 them
1:11:19 so allah immediately replies
1:11:23 they deserve they were deserving of this
1:11:25 and this is also very strong verse
1:11:29 this is why
1:11:31 i find it so
1:11:32 disturbing
1:11:34 i actually find it disturbing
1:11:36 those who oppose those verses
1:11:38 you have to do some homo musical
1:11:40 acrobatics
1:11:42 to make it seem as if the protagonists
1:11:44 are the villains
1:11:46 it's like watching sorry it's not
1:11:47 watching like
1:11:48 spiderman
1:11:50 or
1:11:51 batman
1:11:53 or whatever
1:11:54 and somehow
1:11:55 you make the joker the good guy
1:11:58 and you make you know the spider-man the
1:11:59 bad guy
1:12:01 you you cannot read the quran like this
1:12:03 unless you have
1:12:04 goggles that you're
1:12:07 staring at the quran with which which
1:12:09 which distort your image of what the
1:12:11 quran is trying to say to you
1:12:15 had a bad judgment of character
1:12:18 for 23 years of his life he had
1:12:20 companions he nurtured and he's getting
1:12:22 revelation at least
1:12:24 and
1:12:25 these are the type these are the people
1:12:26 they are legend were plotting all along
1:12:28 to destroy islam take the right of the
1:12:31 bait to uh you know destroy islam from
1:12:33 within that the insulting the prophet
1:12:35 islam with this sort of rhetoric and not
1:12:36 only that but allah has getting
1:12:38 gotten his prophet married
1:12:41 i mean they remember
1:12:42 their position is that they're
1:12:45 i mean i'm not saying theirs and all of
1:12:46 them obviously zadies and others
1:12:49 many of them will very clearly say they
1:12:51 believe they're all disbelievers
1:13:10 no but with that one they'll say it's
1:13:11 talking about zen yet
1:13:14 they're all talking about prophet
1:13:22 he revealed this and he made it explicit
1:13:24 you know like there is nothing for like
1:13:27 the other wives of the prophets no but
1:13:28 no even in those in those examples
1:13:31 allah told them
1:13:33 don't forget
1:13:35 okay so this is a good let's go back and
1:13:36 forth on this
1:13:38 number one
1:13:40 we'll say
1:13:41 is it conceivable or is it probable that
1:13:44 you can imagine that the prophet
1:13:45 muhammad sallam would marry kafirat
1:13:47 or or women that are not really
1:13:48 believers in son
1:13:50 they'll say yes of course it is because
1:13:52 as it doesn't mention
1:13:54 in chapter 66 of the quran
1:13:56 that uh the lord
1:14:08 but you can you can see
1:14:10 in both cases noah's case and lost case
1:14:14 that allah informed
1:14:16 both prophets of that deception
1:14:22 with with lord
1:14:24 you know that you will not turn back and
1:14:25 see any your wife except the they'll be
1:14:28 destroyed except for your wife
1:14:30 kenneth
1:14:32 you know
1:14:33 so this is lot's wife allah is telling
1:14:36 luth
1:14:37 that your wife is
1:14:39 yeah and the same thing with noah we
1:14:42 know that there was a whole discussion
1:14:44 with uh
1:14:45 his son
1:14:48 yeah and and either she's going to be on
1:14:50 the ship or she's not going to be on the
1:14:51 ship and if she's a catholic she's not
1:14:53 going to be on the ship so we cannot
1:14:54 assume that noah's wife was on the ship
1:14:56 so al so just like he just like lord he
1:14:59 knew allah informed him
1:15:02 that uh
1:15:04 that his wife was uh was a kafir
1:15:06 basically so if if his wife is a kafir
1:15:10 and his son was a kafir
1:15:12 he informed him of all of it why would
1:15:14 allah
1:15:15 inform
1:15:16 noah allah but he would not for muhammad
1:15:20 and not only that but he should know
1:15:21 everything
1:15:50 this is a very important thing
1:15:52 so i'm just going to give a quick
1:15:53 backdrop onto this it's important so
1:15:56 what what what they can do is this they
1:15:57 can say look okay
1:16:00 uh the sahaba so going back to the
1:16:02 definition of the sahaba or sahabi so
1:16:04 from the quran okay
1:16:07 you know we can say that the the people
1:16:09 are with the prophet sallallahu alaihi
1:16:10 wasallam they were with the prophet
1:16:12 sallallahu alaihi however they also said
1:16:15 the kalima allah illallah
1:16:17 but they did not bring iman right
1:16:20 so in the eighties there was this uh
1:16:22 there was a are you talking about
1:16:23 just before you continue just to be very
1:16:25 clear are we talking about the ayah
1:16:27 which says
1:16:29 this this yeah this and even you know uh
1:16:32 like um
1:16:35 okay like this gentleman yeah so in the
1:16:37 eighties there were the sheer clerical
1:16:38 can you translate that through before
1:16:40 because it makes sure sorry
1:16:42 we we know them yeah
1:16:44 you know them and a prophet you don't
1:16:46 know them
1:16:47 so in the 80s there was actually shia
1:16:49 cleric and this is pakistan he was he
1:16:51 said this uh on live air he also wrote a
1:16:54 book he said this that
1:16:56 in pakistan that she have been
1:16:57 transgressed and the reason they've been
1:16:58 transgressed is because when he came to
1:17:00 build
1:17:02 pakistan shias and sunni were united
1:17:05 when it came to declaring the kardiani
1:17:07 sect
1:17:09 who believe in the false prophet
1:17:13 she and suni were together
1:17:15 in declaring them prophet however now
1:17:18 the sunni i'm not going into that field
1:17:19 i'm just giving historical events the
1:17:21 sunnis are declaring a shia kafir and
1:17:23 the reason this declaring kafir is that
1:17:25 we don't believe in the sahaba the shias
1:17:27 don't believe in the sahaba yeah so this
1:17:28 shia cleric said who said we don't
1:17:30 believe in the sahaba we believe in the
1:17:32 sahaba
1:17:34 right
1:17:34 and he said uh there are there the crown
1:17:37 of our heads and the torah and the clay
1:17:40 beneath their feet were ready to make
1:17:42 that into a kohala eyeliner so you're
1:17:43 saying that everybody's like oh this
1:17:44 makes sense you know these she has a
1:17:46 good people they believe in the sahaba
1:17:47 he said look
1:17:49 but in the quran who allah has referred
1:17:51 to as believers we believe them to be
1:17:52 sahaba
1:17:54 but we don't believe the munafikun
1:17:56 to be sahaba
1:17:58 and this in the quran allah is mentioned
1:17:59 in surah baqarah first five or six
1:18:01 verses the believers then two three
1:18:03 verses the kaafir one and then
1:18:06 uh the munafi quran so this
1:18:08 categorization you cannot dispute yes
1:18:10 there are these three groups and then he
1:18:12 also mentioned the verse
1:18:21 paraphrasing the meaning of the verse
1:18:23 they come to you and they declare the
1:18:25 shahada that they believe in alliance
1:18:26 rasool but allah knows that they are
1:18:27 lying so he gives this sort of speech he
1:18:29 also wrote a book
1:18:30 uh sahabi which means the criteria of a
1:18:33 sahabah by just using quranic verses and
1:18:34 this book book was published in pakistan
1:18:38 so i will teach this book was presented
1:18:41 to him so he said i've been debating
1:18:42 shias for many years but i've never seen
1:18:44 such a deception where they've
1:18:46 used quranic verse without mentioning
1:18:48 abu bakr umar's name
1:18:50 i yet attacked them without saying you
1:18:52 know
1:18:55 just to give that response quickly and
1:18:57 this is a like maybe a definition of a
1:18:59 sahabi we can take from the quran he
1:19:01 said look at the verse
1:19:04 that the munafikun would come to you
1:19:06 yeah so he said from this verse we can
1:19:08 extract that the monafiqun would
1:19:10 visit the prophet meaning go to him and
1:19:12 come but they wouldn't constantly sit
1:19:14 with the prophet
1:19:16 they would go and come either jacqueline
1:19:18 african but they would not constantly
1:19:20 sit with the prophet those that used to
1:19:21 constantly sit with the prophet
1:19:23 mentioned
1:19:28 islam you keep yourself
1:19:30 seated with these sahaba
1:19:32 and then it says
1:19:48 oh beautiful so the monastic themselves
1:19:50 knew that they're not amongst those who
1:19:51 are with them
1:19:54 okay
1:19:56 and then he says
1:19:57 and then i told you the makkah part that
1:19:59 the concept of
1:20:00 medina yeah then he said when the munafi
1:20:03 kun realized that these close sahaba
1:20:06 especially
1:20:06 umar they're with the
1:20:09 prophet sallallahu alaihi islam they
1:20:10 wanted to cause disunity
1:20:13 they want to cross the freak so what did
1:20:15 they do they must build their masjid
1:20:16 well
1:20:22 based on hypocrisy and to cause harm and
1:20:24 to call this unity
1:20:26 as soon as they build this masjid
1:20:29 now they wanted to sanctify they wanted
1:20:31 to
1:20:32 validate this masjid so the best way to
1:20:35 do it is to call the prophet sallallahu
1:20:36 alaihi sallam
1:20:38 yes as soon as they call the prophet
1:20:43 do not even place your
1:20:59 and he prays the companions in there why
1:21:01 because of the purification tahara so
1:21:03 the verse is about taharah there's two
1:21:05 types of taharah and which are we
1:21:07 talking about here we're talking about
1:21:08 the internal because it's talking about
1:21:10 gopher in the facts we're talking about
1:21:11 iman this
1:21:27 why did the why did allah subhanahu wa
1:21:28 say the prophet sallallahu alaihi do not
1:21:30 place your for inside this hall inside
1:21:32 this room where the moon are why because
1:21:34 the munafi in spiritual their niges they
1:21:36 impure and it's not befitting for the
1:21:38 prophet sallallahu alaihi s
1:21:42 to place his for even for a second
1:21:44 inside this room because the context is
1:21:46 about
1:21:47 so he goes when allah rejected when
1:21:49 allah rejected that the prophet saw
1:21:51 allah islam places his for for even a
1:21:53 minute inside the room how is it
1:21:55 possible that he sleeps with both of
1:21:57 them in the same room
1:22:00 that was very good huh this is why we
1:22:02 brought him over guys
1:22:06 so he said so he says from the quran we
1:22:08 can understand yes
1:22:10 that those who used to constantly sit
1:22:12 with the prophet
1:22:20 he actually told me to translate when he
1:22:21 was alive it was my weakness translator
1:22:23 in the english language but now i'll see
1:22:24 you subhanallah you opened up the door
1:22:26 for you right this is the translation
1:22:50 is
1:22:58 you know i'm alive now so if you you
1:23:00 disagree with this hypothesis tell me so
1:23:02 he was very much believed in this
1:23:08 yeah it's fantastic i mean i think we've
1:23:09 all really enjoyed that i mean that's
1:23:11 that's another one
1:23:12 that's another one to write this down
1:23:13 get translated well no worry we've got
1:23:15 it recorded i mean it's fantastic that's
1:23:17 absolutely
1:23:18 brilliant just want to get there because
1:23:20 they could come back with this and as
1:23:21 always you've got to be prepared yeah of
1:23:23 course
1:23:27 after the presidency but they got it
1:23:29 which is authentic okay where imam
1:23:31 jackson said that
1:23:32 the companion of the prophet zones were
1:23:34 12 000.
1:23:35 yeah none of them were
1:23:37 none of them
1:23:38 none of them were these so they could
1:23:39 argue they were we do have narrations
1:23:41 that they were 12
1:23:43 no no they just said twelve thousand
1:23:44 they were twelve thousand did they
1:23:45 mention whether they were from the
1:23:46 throne
1:23:48 but even if you use that as an example
1:23:50 is that your hadith are inconsistent
1:23:53 right because if you're saying there was
1:23:54 only four that i believe yeah
1:23:55 where's 12 000 come from yeah exactly
1:23:57 yeah
1:23:58 and even you go to the hadith of the
1:24:00 you know or even uh kitab in christ
1:24:04 allegedly got attacked
1:24:06 no where were the 12 000 to support him
1:24:08 at that time exactly yeah when they
1:24:10 attacked his wife very good very good
1:24:12 and they have to have twelve there don't
1:24:14 they
1:24:18 yeah please
1:24:19 just one more point uh yeah uh
1:24:21 mentioned you were the first people to
1:24:22 attack the sahaba
1:24:24 the group of sahaba especially in makkah
1:24:26 so you go back
1:24:45 like the people that brought iman and
1:24:46 down here the people at that time were
1:24:48 complete
1:24:50 yeah small in number so what did they
1:24:52 say in response they said
1:25:05 but the reality is that these guys are
1:25:06 the ones foolish ones but they don't
1:25:08 know so us
1:25:09 said that the point here the principle
1:25:11 that we can understand that the many
1:25:13 other words allah could have chosen he
1:25:15 could have said these guys are misguided
1:25:17 following
1:25:18 the many other words for foolishness in
1:25:20 the arabic language
1:25:22 but allah used the same word as
1:25:30 so he said the principle is whatever you
1:25:32 say regarding the sahaba that's what
1:25:34 allah will say about you allah
1:25:36 subhanallah yes
1:25:38 and as you know and this sounds cliche
1:25:39 right now right but this this might
1:25:41 sound really like a cliche but you know
1:25:44 you know when you know that one of the
1:25:47 the rituals
1:25:48 of the shiite
1:25:50 is to whip you know you know and cut i
1:25:53 remember when i was
1:25:54 in school actually i had a friend of
1:25:56 mine
1:25:57 i was i remember
1:25:59 i remember this like yesterday i was
1:26:01 probably in year 9 or something
1:26:03 you know
1:26:09 um so i was in year nine this is his
1:26:11 brother came through he was not even
1:26:12 muslim
1:26:13 and he came to me was like um
1:26:16 bro he was like
1:26:18 what happened man
1:26:20 i saw something yeah he was like yeah he
1:26:23 says like this because they were just
1:26:25 getting knives and doing this
1:26:28 and i can remember that we're lying this
1:26:29 thing that he did over his face like
1:26:30 that
1:26:31 and this
1:26:33 because obviously you know
1:26:35 but
1:26:37 the punishment for
1:26:39 the the punishment for accusing a chaste
1:26:42 woman
1:26:43 or a chaste man but the quran says the
1:26:46 chaste woman
1:26:48 of
1:26:49 fornication
1:26:50 it's eighty lashes and a lot of them do
1:26:52 actually
1:26:53 accuse
1:26:54 you of the alarm out of that
1:26:57 which is which is uh when the mahdi
1:26:59 comes because the
1:27:01 one that's gonna come
1:27:02 the violent one that's going to come
1:27:03 he's going to take out stuff
1:27:06 yeah it's horrible yeah and it's going
1:27:08 to
1:27:08 apply this is
1:27:10 if you want the reference you know i'll
1:27:12 bring it is it is it is authentic yeah
1:27:13 yeah yeah okay and there's various
1:27:15 others
1:27:17 it just seems like an angry person it's
1:27:18 just you know one person said and i
1:27:20 don't want to mention the name he
1:27:22 mentioned that this concept it's
1:27:24 it's a poor version of gotham
1:27:27 it's like just if you go in
1:27:29 black
1:27:30 red
1:27:31 upset wailing it's a poor version of
1:27:33 goth honestly yeah
1:27:35 and so that when they're whipping
1:27:36 themselves
1:27:37 many of them
1:27:39 will be administering
1:27:41 the punishment
1:27:42 on themselves now i'm not saying all of
1:27:44 them deserve that punishment from a
1:27:45 shadow standpoint but it is ironic that
1:27:48 you're whipping yourself like that
1:27:49 because it is the punishment for someone
1:27:51 who accuses
1:27:53 the mothers of the any woman actually of
1:27:55 uh
1:27:56 uh of into of illicit intercourse
1:28:00 now this
1:28:01 the hatred stems from the battle of
1:28:03 germany
1:28:04 that's where it stems from
1:28:06 let's talk about that for a second so
1:28:07 you've got two major battles i mean
1:28:09 there's more than two but two major ones
1:28:10 that have been referred to you could say
1:28:12 20 20 years after 23 years yeah yeah
1:28:16 after that german and supreme german
1:28:18 and the core dispute between the
1:28:20 companions wasn't to do with any
1:28:22 personal issues between them it was all
1:28:23 to do with avenging the blood of the man
1:28:25 who was brutally killed um i think he
1:28:28 was besieged for 30 to 40 days in his
1:28:29 house now there was two groups among the
1:28:32 companions now ali
1:28:33 was also listen to this this is balaga
1:28:36 they believe he's divinely important
1:28:37 we're going back to imam again but it's
1:28:38 all connected when the people of italy
1:28:40 want to give him bayer he said
1:28:44 which means leave me so they wanted to
1:28:46 give him the bear by the qatar uthman
1:28:47 they want to give him the banana we want
1:28:48 you to be the leader he said leave me
1:28:50 and go to someone else so if he was
1:28:52 divinely appointed why is he saying
1:28:54 leave me and go to someone else
1:28:56 that's the number one so alitano took
1:28:58 the khilafah and many companions after
1:29:01 didn't want to stay in medina due to
1:29:02 this because it was
1:29:04 it was a atmosphere was very bad so they
1:29:06 migrated to mecca from their
1:29:09 emotions
1:29:10 were high and they wanted to invent the
1:29:12 killing of
1:29:14 that's and
1:29:15 was of that party but when they say
1:29:18 why did she leave her house i would
1:29:20 learn she went with her brother who was
1:29:22 a mahram
1:29:24 so she didn't leave the house without
1:29:25 muharram if they're going to argue that
1:29:26 point so this battle is basically they
1:29:29 try to irrelevant yeah i'm just not
1:29:31 saying but they're trying to construct
1:29:32 the battle as if
1:29:33 i had a vendetta against
1:29:36 yeah of course yeah and that's where all
1:29:38 the narrations come in with even to the
1:29:40 point in kitab suleiman
1:29:42 had the authority to divorce aisha after
1:29:45 the death of the prophet
1:29:47 to divorce so ali
1:29:49 gave the divorce on behalf of the
1:29:50 prophets
1:29:51 so yeah it gets to that i never actually
1:29:53 knew that they believed that yeah
1:29:55 videos coming soon oh all right okay you
1:29:57 made a video recently about uh
1:30:00 about um
1:30:02 the the the the sons the sons of uh ali
1:30:05 being named
1:30:07 yeah and that's authentic
1:30:11 it's like if you really had a vendetta
1:30:13 against him it's like i have event
1:30:15 that's against donald trump and george
1:30:16 bush i'm gonna call my two sons george
1:30:19 and donald trump
1:30:22 you know what's what's that
1:30:23 like
1:30:24 was a famous name
1:30:27 which means which is like a um
1:30:30 what would it be maybe yeah a nickname
1:30:31 or named after like you know endearment
1:30:34 or something yeah so why is he naming
1:30:36 his son abu bakr and
1:30:37 the look of the look at the beauty abu
1:30:39 bakr and who also mattered
1:30:42 so you would name so ali named his sons
1:30:45 after
1:30:46 the two men who supposedly usurped his
1:30:48 rights according to their books and to
1:30:49 add
1:30:50 you know fuel to the fire yeah i'm not
1:30:52 which is what you do all the time isn't
1:30:53 it yeah
1:30:55 soon to uh um
1:30:57 married the daughter of ali
1:30:59 and is that authentic
1:31:14 one was named zaid even
1:31:17 so there's one number two they got a
1:31:20 narration which said that jin
1:31:21 impersonated um
1:31:24 yes
1:31:25 i'm just saying that this is the extent
1:31:26 they go to so it's very very
1:31:28 yeah
1:31:32 on this point actually because this is
1:31:34 damning really damning evidence the two
1:31:36 people that supposedly usurped your
1:31:38 rights
1:31:39 you're naming your sons after them okay
1:31:42 with a kunia being one of them
1:31:44 and you're marrying your daughter to one
1:31:46 of them
1:31:48 and then you have this incident of fedex
1:31:51 which is one of the misconceptions
1:32:01 that that was a vagina and a private
1:32:03 part that was used from us
1:32:27 so he said apparently he said that so
1:32:28 the the infallible imam said that that
1:32:30 vagina was used from us
1:32:35 even that even that one this is just
1:32:37 this is the vendetta this is the
1:32:38 animosity right right and this is
1:32:40 authentic have you seen it authentically
1:32:42 they know we as well they've got a
1:32:43 narration where when um
1:32:46 took um from his house and took her back
1:32:49 oh my god and then another one where um
1:32:57 i'm reading this yes and i'm collating
1:33:00 all this information thinking honestly
1:33:01 do you really believe this it's comical
1:33:03 it's comically absurd absurd yeah i i
1:33:06 agree 100 okay now
1:33:08 let's move to another point before we
1:33:10 get to further casually
1:33:12 let's talk about
1:33:14 the situation with hassan
1:33:16 now the quran says
1:33:20 whoever does not rule by what allah has
1:33:22 revealed in the disbelievers
1:33:24 is it conceivable
1:33:26 that al-hasan would give up his
1:33:29 his political authority
1:33:32 to a disbeliever
1:33:34 to a man who's not even a muslim that
1:33:35 he'd have to now lead the prayers of
1:33:39 muslim people he would have to lead them
1:33:41 in jihad he'd be marrying the women
1:33:44 getting people married together all the
1:33:46 things that have that require islam is
1:33:48 it conceivable that al hassan
1:33:51 would actually give his authority up to
1:33:53 such a man no
1:33:55 it's not tell us a little bit about that
1:33:58 because obviously they believe
1:33:59 in
1:34:00 infantable mm so why would he do
1:34:02 something as degrading as that i guess
1:34:04 in the eyes yeah not only is it
1:34:05 degrading but is it even it's not
1:34:06 possible according to the ayah as well
1:34:08 dimension yeah and is it even allowed no
1:34:12 ok
1:34:16 like
1:34:17 allah has told you you're an imam and
1:34:18 then you decide that you know what
1:34:20 you're not saying about your imam that
1:34:21 he decided basically i don't want to be
1:34:23 that anymore because we know for example
1:34:25 from the story of you of you
1:34:27 like you know what happened with the
1:34:29 whale and all that and all this stuff
1:34:30 but for them obviously imam is more
1:34:32 significant than being a messenger
1:34:35 so it's like
1:34:37 from from from that perspective if he's
1:34:39 now decided to give that up not only
1:34:41 that but from their perspective allah to
1:34:43 give up to a disbeliever
1:34:46 yeah it's
1:34:47 unbelievable do you know you know i was
1:34:48 thinking about this because i was
1:34:50 getting like ptsd i was wondering like
1:34:51 where i've started to feel like this you
1:34:53 know just playing with the verses all
1:34:54 this stuff like sometimes i've had
1:34:56 discussions with certain evangelical
1:34:58 preachers from the christian community
1:34:59 i'm trying to disparage them in like
1:35:01 what
1:35:02 like and it's a similar thing
1:35:03 you know it's like things are so clear
1:35:05 and you're running around and you you're
1:35:06 getting caught out ever
1:35:08 it's a very difficult thing to believe
1:35:10 if you believe in the quran
1:35:11 that's basically how i was
1:35:13 it is
1:35:14 shia ism understood in this way and we
1:35:17 have to we have to stress here if you
1:35:19 bring a shiite lay person they will
1:35:21 disavow this stuff
1:35:22 they will disavow this stuff i've lived
1:35:25 in
1:35:26 in central london where there's a huge
1:35:28 shia community
1:35:30 i've known many shy people when you tell
1:35:32 them this is what's in your books they
1:35:33 they say this is not something i believe
1:35:35 in and that's why we should be careful
1:35:37 not to make tech fear of these people i
1:35:39 have a video
1:35:41 yeah we should not we should not
1:35:42 excommunicate these people we should not
1:35:44 you know
1:35:45 disrespect them because especially that
1:35:47 like we need to be careful because
1:35:50 these are all things which are in books
1:35:52 some of which i haven't read before you
1:35:54 haven't read before and certainly they
1:35:56 have not read it before so which means
1:35:57 now if we if we apply this stuff on the
1:35:59 ground we need to be careful not to
1:36:01 think that they believe in this stuff
1:36:02 because they don't know about that they
1:36:04 probably don't even know about it okay
1:36:05 and my in our interactions with the
1:36:07 sharing speakers corner when you do
1:36:08 present these elements yeah they'll deny
1:36:10 it 95 of them said i've never heard of
1:36:13 it exactly so if they haven't heard of
1:36:14 it then you can't pre you know you can't
1:36:17 force the narrative that they believe in
1:36:18 it or they're trying to they'll they'll
1:36:20 take a label and don't don't think that
1:36:22 that label means that they they've read
1:36:24 all these books that you've read and
1:36:25 this is very important because there is
1:36:27 a problem to just blanketly you know
1:36:30 cancel these people and because how are
1:36:32 you going to bring them into
1:36:34 what we believe and this goes back to
1:36:36 like the way that you give tawa just
1:36:38 explain that these are things which are
1:36:40 contrary to the quran and they can leave
1:36:42 them with the decision to make
1:36:44 but the the lay people we have to have a
1:36:46 level of mercy with them we actually do
1:36:49 because wallahi in my interactions
1:36:51 especially after i've done a lot of my
1:36:52 debates and stuff with shiite people
1:36:55 you you've really got to
1:36:57 once they know a lot of them will leave
1:37:00 and they will become
1:37:02 i'm not going to say become sunni but
1:37:04 they'll become people because what is
1:37:06 this word sunni what is it what does it
1:37:07 mean
1:37:12 you know the sunnah of the prophet which
1:37:14 is what allah says in the quran
1:37:30 we're just saying follow the prophet
1:37:32 that's it that's literally what sunnah
1:37:34 means sunnah means to follow the prophet
1:37:36 and not just prophet muhammad prophet
1:37:37 all the prophets jesus the son of jesus
1:37:40 the son of abraham that's basically all
1:37:42 we're saying and what we're saying is
1:37:44 that in terms of creedal matters and the
1:37:46 best people are those who the quran
1:37:48 mentioned that's the companions
1:37:50 uh allah has already uh praised them and
1:37:53 so on these are the best it doesn't mean
1:37:55 they had all the answers in the world
1:37:57 about every little thing of course not
1:37:59 as well
1:38:01 we don't claim they're infallible that's
1:38:02 the report we need to add yeah what they
1:38:05 they portray that we treat the
1:38:06 companions like prophets and we don't of
1:38:08 course not and we don't consider them
1:38:09 infallible we're just people there with
1:38:11 the prophet we don't disrespect them as
1:38:12 simple as that our religion our religion
1:38:15 is a religion of inclusion they're they
1:38:17 are telling us to exclude that's this
1:38:19 there's a difference here they're
1:38:20 telling we're saying
1:38:22 look this these are who the prophet
1:38:24 basically was with these are his friends
1:38:27 these are his companions these are his
1:38:29 wives we respect them just like he
1:38:31 respected we do
1:38:33 we have the same attitude with the
1:38:34 companions that the prophet had
1:38:37 they're saying no
1:38:38 they're saying let's have a different
1:38:40 attitude than the prophet had just bear
1:38:42 that in mind
1:38:43 which or you can decide to follow the
1:38:45 prophet in his attitude with the
1:38:46 companions and the wives of the prophet
1:38:48 or you can decide to follow the shia
1:38:52 and it is a matter of that
1:38:54 and it's really interesting you know
1:38:55 this a in the quran it says
1:39:10 you know it's not like you know had them
1:39:12 in shiitey
1:39:14 you know the word shia is like imam i'm
1:39:16 not saying it means it's always negative
1:39:18 but it does come in this form which is
1:39:20 the ones who have separated their
1:39:21 religion and becomes shia you have
1:39:23 nothing to do with them of muhammad it's
1:39:26 very unusual that they'll take this word
1:39:27 and make it you know the name of the
1:39:30 sect
1:39:31 when the quran says don't you have
1:39:32 nothing to do with this shia but the
1:39:34 point is is that we are just saying that
1:39:35 and there is a similarity between the
1:39:37 hawaii and the shia
1:39:39 because both of them may take fear
1:39:41 the khawarij
1:39:43 they make the fear of people actually
1:39:45 funnily enough both of them fear of the
1:39:47 sahaba as well the companions
1:39:50 we're just saying these are two
1:39:53 early permutations one of them kind of
1:39:55 survived and one of them didn't as much
1:39:57 which is
1:39:58 as much as the shia
1:40:00 which really goes against the quran so
1:40:02 now now let's move on to the third point
1:40:06 yes of course
1:40:10 so the thing is
1:40:13 alhamdulillah we've been concentrating
1:40:14 on the quran the quran is very
1:40:15 clear and vividly
1:40:17 mashallah demonstrates the the the quran
1:40:20 and the status of the sahaba yes but
1:40:22 when people you know they read these
1:40:23 historical narratives
1:40:25 uh where the
1:40:27 you know the uh the fighting between the
1:40:29 sahabah and all these things so how
1:40:31 should our approach be regarding this
1:40:33 beautiful so a person came to our
1:40:35 teacher
1:40:36 and he said i have objection on satan
1:40:41 he said how many objections do you have
1:40:43 he said ten he said well he's still a
1:40:45 sahabi
1:40:46 he's still here
1:40:48 why because companionship is something
1:40:51 that's wahabi not gaspi meaning is god
1:40:54 gifted
1:40:55 not a person acquires sahaba you can be
1:40:57 you can try all your life you can never
1:40:59 become equivalent to a sahabi like allah
1:41:01 subhanahu wa
1:41:18 so the point here is
1:41:20 what's the attitude of the quran
1:41:22 how does the quran deal with the actions
1:41:25 of the sahaba even though like we said
1:41:27 we don't believe the infallible
1:41:28 but what do the quran do the quran does
1:41:30 not expose them the quran doesn't
1:41:32 discuss them so for example our teacher
1:41:34 said this it's in uh
1:41:36 sahabah made mistake when prophecy allah
1:41:38 told him to stay and a certain area and
1:41:40 then those some of them moved away and
1:41:42 then at that time been worried that they
1:41:44 allah he
1:41:45 islam so he came and he attacked
1:41:47 so that was a big setback for the
1:41:49 muslims uh many uh sahaba shaheed say uh
1:41:53 the prophet saw allah islam was injured
1:41:56 but what did the quran do when allah
1:41:58 addressed
1:42:09 and not just forgive them but you seek
1:42:12 on their behalf when anybody makes a
1:42:14 mistake if i make a mistake against you
1:42:17 then i ask forgiveness
1:42:19 yes from you
1:42:21 the sahaba made the mistake but the
1:42:22 prophet said allah islam has been told
1:42:24 you do istighfar on their behalf that's
1:42:26 how believers
1:42:27 and because of this mistake
1:42:30 don't stop doing mushroom consultation
1:42:32 with them wash
1:42:34 another one more incident the three
1:42:36 sahaba who who who didn't go for the
1:42:39 battle
1:42:43 did not speak to them for 50 days or so
1:42:45 yes
1:42:46 when the announcement of the tawbah came
1:42:51 but where is this
1:43:01 and then those three sahabah who did not
1:43:03 join jihad yeah but the muhajir and saw
1:43:06 did not go they didn't do anything wrong
1:43:08 it
1:43:23 to that battle by the way they run they
1:43:24 run around but
1:43:27 nobody is and nobody is asserting or
1:43:29 postulating
1:43:30 mistakes the notion that they're the
1:43:32 infallible no what we're saying is that
1:43:34 we they are uh the
1:43:37 usual for us their own model for us
1:43:39 their iman is a criterion for us to
1:43:41 follow these all from the quranic verses
1:43:42 and yes they made mistakes of course
1:43:44 they were humans however we don't
1:43:46 discuss them and we don't we need to
1:43:47 basically yeah we need to sort ourselves
1:43:49 out basically
1:43:52 and they'll get an air like from
1:43:53 al-imran
1:43:56 and they'll think it's in their favor
1:43:58 but this is with this they are to uh to
1:44:00 disbelieve closer to them on that day
1:44:02 than iman
1:44:03 this actu this area is against them
1:44:06 because it's it's doing takrido it's
1:44:08 constraining it saying on that day
1:44:16 but even if we say it's talking about
1:44:18 even if we say it would indicate that
1:44:20 it's not the general state of affairs
1:44:23 because it's on that day yoma isn't
1:44:25 iman
1:44:27 it's not every single
1:44:29 this is on that day we're meaning
1:44:31 other than that
1:44:34 it's not like that
1:44:36 because there was a test for them
1:44:39 in the other area and the other surah
1:44:41 this was
1:44:42 anyway
1:44:43 let's move on to the third and final
1:44:44 thing but before that actually i want to
1:44:45 mention fedex because it's something
1:44:47 that they bring up quite often
1:44:48 fedex is an incident where fatima
1:44:52 she was
1:44:53 um
1:44:56 had a different understanding of abu
1:44:58 bakr
1:44:59 on the inheritance of the prophet
1:45:00 muhammad
1:45:03 he said that he doesn't leave behind
1:45:05 inheritance and that's how abu bakr
1:45:06 understood it so there was this plot of
1:45:08 land is called fedex which uh fatima
1:45:12 wanted to be inherited and abu wakar
1:45:14 said since the prophet said there's no
1:45:15 inheritance i'm not going to deviate
1:45:17 from that
1:45:19 now they'll say look this shows tension
1:45:22 between fatima and abu bakr because
1:45:24 there is a hadith in the sahaja
1:45:25 collection that says that fatima that
1:45:28 she was she withdrew from until her
1:45:30 death because
1:45:33 she died six months after prophet
1:45:35 muhammed
1:45:36 yes
1:45:38 75 days
1:45:39 oh is it okay interesting yeah so
1:45:41 according to our narrations is six
1:45:43 months right
1:45:44 so
1:45:45 let me open it to the floor anybody
1:45:47 who's this is one of the misconceptions
1:45:48 as well anyone who knows how to answer
1:45:50 this
1:45:52 what's the problem
1:45:55 no they'll say that look this is in this
1:45:57 is evidence
1:45:58 of us uh usurping or abroad is usurping
1:46:02 uh the rights of fatima in this case
1:46:05 it's the right of
1:46:11 are not allowed land have a brand
1:46:14 so in their book
1:46:16 womans are not allowed to have
1:46:17 properties in islam
1:46:19 in their books
1:46:20 oh that's interesting
1:46:23 he says in their books women are not
1:46:24 allowed to have property have you come
1:46:25 across something like that
1:46:27 maybe true we have to double check the
1:46:28 difficulty of that's very interesting
1:46:30 but you can put that in the group and we
1:46:32 can check that together
1:46:33 that's interesting right we've got a
1:46:35 library yes that's interesting yeah
1:46:37 um just add your photo as well
1:46:39 the whole narrative and i've done a
1:46:40 video on it called the lady of heaven
1:46:42 countering the movie that came out
1:46:43 recently
1:46:46 she passed away father was still under
1:46:48 the trust of the khilafah when um
1:46:54 she was angry with abu bakr for six
1:46:55 months before she passed away over
1:46:57 before she passed away but um
1:46:59 who entrusted ali
1:47:03 when allah became the khalifa he didn't
1:47:05 take it back when hassan was a khalifa
1:47:07 for six months he didn't take it back
1:47:09 so if they if it was correct that it was
1:47:13 belonging to the alibaba
1:47:14 why didn't they take it back
1:47:16 good point i want to add something to
1:47:18 this actually this is a narration in our
1:47:20 own books um which
1:47:22 also
1:47:24 second let me just get it for you it
1:47:25 will add to this
1:47:27 to this point
1:47:31 this is a narration
1:47:32 about
1:47:34 fedex
1:47:38 what i'll do as well is the the person
1:47:40 for 75 days brother
1:47:42 you have to remember the chronology of
1:47:43 events at the shia allege what happened
1:47:45 to fatima and that you have to further
1:47:48 is connected to the broken rib as well
1:47:51 and then what happened after i went
1:47:52 father and had stood up delivered a
1:47:55 45-minute speech whilst having a broken
1:47:57 rib and losing a six-month-old child all
1:47:59 right i got it here sorry so we'll
1:48:00 discuss that later this isn't muslim i'm
1:48:03 just going to get to the point where it
1:48:04 makes sense um whether with a
1:48:08 where where the
1:48:09 head or the the main point is
1:48:12 i might have to actually read the thing
1:48:14 by the way this is a hadith muslim
1:48:20 so basically
1:48:23 who said
1:48:24 that
1:49:12 uh
1:49:26 withdrew from him fatima with juventus
1:49:34 she didn't speak to him until
1:49:36 she died
1:49:41 and she died she died after his death
1:49:44 the prophet saws that's six months
1:49:58 uh
1:50:00 didn't allow her to um
1:50:03 to be uh
1:50:04 to so let me just guess right
1:50:07 definitely
1:50:28 [Music]
1:50:32 when she died he didn't he didn't want
1:50:34 to see people basically you know
1:50:36 for
1:51:15 because he knows that ali just you know
1:51:17 he's just lost his wife don't go there
1:51:19 by himself
1:51:28 he said i'm no i'm definitely
1:51:30 i'm going to
1:51:32 oh by god i am going to go to them
1:51:35 so he went into the
1:51:37 residence
1:52:01 we know your virtues and what allah has
1:52:02 given you that's the first thing he said
1:52:04 so they want to take some parts of the
1:52:06 hadith and leave other parts this is
1:52:08 this already
1:52:09 nullifies their
1:52:12 their narrative
1:52:29 on that the good that allah has given
1:52:30 you
1:52:31 this is highly saying that that too
1:52:37 is
1:53:25 and it continues basically he's
1:53:27 explaining himself in this and saying
1:53:30 he's saying that i have the reason why i
1:53:33 didn't give her the inheritance is
1:53:34 because the prophet didn't do it
1:53:36 ali understood his point of view and he
1:53:38 said that tomorrow i will come to give
1:53:40 you addison
1:53:41 and muslim
1:53:44 i would prefer your family to be close
1:53:47 yes yes yes
1:53:49 so this if they want to take the because
1:53:51 they will use our hadith but the point
1:53:53 is if you want to use a hadith
1:53:55 use the whole hadith
1:53:57 because the whole hadith doesn't show
1:53:58 the narrative that they want to point
1:53:59 out
1:54:00 and it shows you that we're not hiding
1:54:02 anything because it does say in our
1:54:03 hadith that fatima was upset with abu
1:54:06 bakr and had the sunni hadith been
1:54:10 manipulated then this would have been
1:54:12 removed
1:54:13 because this we have something to hide
1:54:15 here right
1:54:17 is one contention the main issue with
1:54:20 with after the death of the prophet
1:54:22 islam is the
1:54:23 attack or the alleged attack on fatima
1:54:25 of the land by omar by um
1:54:28 connected to that so what they allege
1:54:30 and again this is
1:54:33 they've made a movie about it for those
1:54:34 who know uh i'm not sure about that yeah
1:54:37 yeah production yeah yeah
1:54:41 so what they have a legend this is very
1:54:42 very you know uh they they have
1:54:45 possessions about it that when abu bakr
1:54:47 allah was given the pledge of allega
1:54:51 rightfully and this is according to our
1:54:52 traditions why he didn't give bayer and
1:54:53 many other companies didn't give as well
1:54:55 and he believed he had a right in the
1:54:56 ma'am so according to the shia narrative
1:54:58 is uh
1:54:59 when ali did not give up they surrounded
1:55:01 his house
1:55:02 they surrendered his eyes and they were
1:55:04 shouting come out and give bay up
1:55:06 did not come out and the shouting
1:55:08 continued there was commotion
1:55:11 who went to the
1:55:13 house
1:55:14 kicked the door
1:55:15 strangely faster mother ana was behind
1:55:17 that door whether there was doors at
1:55:18 that time that's another debate all
1:55:20 together kicked the door as he kicked
1:55:22 the door faster and was behind it she
1:55:24 was six months pregnant with an unborn
1:55:26 child called mohsin
1:55:28 so um
1:55:30 he beat her he whipped up with the end
1:55:32 of his sword and i didn't know he was
1:55:33 standing there thank you exactly you
1:55:35 know the one that knows everything can
1:55:36 hear everything why didn't you go to the
1:55:38 door himself you know if that made any
1:55:39 sense so think about the picture this so
1:55:41 that would mean that he's abusing his
1:55:43 wife yeah he knew ali ali
1:55:48 yeah so to summarize it he beat her
1:55:50 badly
1:55:51 they took ali ana out the house
1:55:54 like a camel according to najib but what
1:55:56 ali is not writing to muawiyah and
1:55:58 saying you are saying i was dragged out
1:56:00 like a camel
1:56:01 in the end
1:56:02 i've got a hadith
1:56:08 um sorry ham satan was
1:56:12 75 days
1:56:13 so father murder anha has been severely
1:56:15 beaten lost a six-month-old child
1:56:17 six-month-old child had a broken rib in
1:56:19 the process according to this hadith
1:56:21 here
1:56:22 she went to the graveyard of the
1:56:24 shohadab
1:56:27 three times a week
1:56:28 three times a week so imagine if you've
1:56:30 got a broken rib you've lost your six
1:56:31 month old child how can you visit ahad
1:56:33 which is according to google maps if you
1:56:35 walk from mushroom nebulae it's one hour
1:56:37 and 15 minutes
1:56:39 so this narrative doesn't make sense
1:56:41 from the get-go talking about fatherhood
1:56:43 when father diana lost your unborn child
1:56:45 six months old
1:56:47 would you not claim casaus for that
1:56:49 unborn child which is kazakhstan's which
1:56:51 is retribution six small child obviously
1:56:53 in in islam is 120 days when the fetus
1:56:56 is blown
1:56:57 you got to give it a funeral prayer
1:56:58 don't you it's a six-month-old child for
1:57:00 martians there should be blood money
1:57:01 praise blood money casaus retribution
1:57:03 father of stood up this is called
1:57:07 valuable for the kids
1:57:13 went through the pages it's eight pages
1:57:15 full
1:57:17 once she uh has cleric done a
1:57:20 read from it it's 43 minutes
1:57:22 is it possible that fatherhood of the
1:57:24 anna would stand up and ask for further
1:57:26 but not asked for questions for a unborn
1:57:27 child
1:57:28 if indeed that unborn child was killed
1:57:30 by um
1:57:31 yeah it makes no sense makes no sense so
1:57:33 43 minutes you care so much about the
1:57:35 the thing but not foreign
1:57:42 so it just that the whole they don't
1:57:44 place a timeline or a narrative because
1:57:45 it doesn't make sense it's really
1:57:47 pathetic narrative and this is a it's a
1:57:49 it's a desperate attempt to malign uh
1:57:53 the characters of all the personalities
1:57:56 of ahmadab
1:57:58 unfortunately what is done is
1:58:00 aligned maligned
1:58:02 their own
1:58:03 conception of alibi nibitalib because
1:58:06 they've made him into a weak
1:58:08 character who couldn't defend his wife
1:58:11 and they've made fatima into a jesus uh
1:58:13 christian jesus figure
1:58:15 which the quran does
1:58:17 of jesus
1:58:23 instead of being crucified and so on but
1:58:24 they've made
1:58:25 fatima
1:58:26 a subject of humiliation and death and
1:58:29 human
1:58:31 and this is pathetic
1:58:33 anyway we move on to the third and final
1:58:36 segment which is the quran
1:58:38 and i have to stress in the majority of
1:58:40 shias i have met they'll say we believe
1:58:42 in the same quran that you believe in
1:58:44 we have to treat this miss ella with
1:58:46 care because
1:58:47 yes they do have and those individuals
1:58:50 who say the quran has been tampered with
1:58:52 from from the extremists from the
1:58:53 shiites we don't even consider them
1:58:55 as muslims and in fact some um some
1:58:58 people from the shia community
1:59:00 excommunicate them as well so we have to
1:59:02 be fair in saying this
1:59:04 what do we have to say about this math
1:59:06 you want to start
1:59:07 yeah sure
1:59:09 yeah like you pointed out there is one
1:59:10 camp
1:59:11 of the shias that believe that
1:59:13 there's been tariffs there's been
1:59:14 additional deletion from the quran
1:59:17 and it seems like the other minority by
1:59:19 the way yeah
1:59:21 so they basic
1:59:22 it seems for them to be an obvious issue
1:59:25 because they believe um
1:59:28 because they believe that the companions
1:59:30 who betrayed adidas and went against
1:59:32 god's commands in respecting and
1:59:34 acknowledging imam could also very
1:59:35 easily go against god's command in terms
1:59:37 of preserving the quran so they have no
1:59:39 issue with that this this one camp the
1:59:41 second camp they don't believe in that
1:59:44 in the sense that there's additional
1:59:46 deletion
1:59:47 they say this manipulation uh in terms
1:59:49 of interpretation and also in in the in
1:59:52 terms of how it the voices have been
1:59:54 ordered
1:59:57 and they believe um
1:59:59 uh
2:00:00 i can't get to that point later
2:00:03 so uh the set of beliefs that the second
2:00:05 camp have in regards to the um
2:00:07 preservation of crime that i think we
2:00:08 should take a closer look at
2:00:10 so one um
2:00:11 they say that uh among uh that aliyah
2:00:14 dilemma in fact uh compile the quran in
2:00:17 in perfect form in his perfect form and
2:00:19 he approached the uh the others at the
2:00:22 time uh with the quran and they rejected
2:00:25 it so the um
2:00:28 them basically rejected the the the
2:00:31 perfect form of the quran
2:00:33 and they had and they collected their
2:00:34 own form
2:00:36 uh
2:00:37 they also believe that the muslim the
2:00:38 way the muslims breathed and understand
2:00:39 the quran
2:00:40 is not so the perfect it's not in his
2:00:42 perfect form it is it's not in the way
2:00:43 that pleases allah
2:00:47 so this they believe that the quran
2:00:49 collected by roslando also had init
2:00:52 explanation uh an exercise is alongside
2:00:54 it
2:00:55 um
2:00:58 so and again like i mentioned earlier
2:00:59 the quran collected by the uh uh differs
2:01:02 from uh version in terms of the order of
2:01:05 the chapters and the verses so they
2:01:08 believe
2:01:09 quran was compiled in a chronological
2:01:12 form
2:01:13 uh so
2:01:14 as the verses were revealed it was
2:01:15 preserved in that manner
2:01:19 uh so and also they believe that aliyah
2:01:23 version of the quran is miraculous in in
2:01:25 the sense that it's perfect absolutely
2:01:27 perfect
2:01:29 and they also believe that the the
2:01:31 aliyah's quran will be revealed by the
2:01:33 mahdi the imam
2:01:38 actual quran
2:01:43 so
2:01:44 in a sense both of both cams
2:01:47 they do believe that the quran that we
2:01:48 have today is not the perfect quran
2:01:51 basically
2:01:52 so this obviously leads to like a form
2:01:54 of distrust towards the quran uh and
2:01:57 this actually manifests itself in the
2:01:58 real world because for example uh
2:02:00 in in the shia hausa these are reluctant
2:02:02 to teach the quran
2:02:05 and also like
2:02:07 people who for within the community who
2:02:10 focus on chronic studies are looked down
2:02:12 upon and even at times mocked
2:02:14 it almost seems like
2:02:16 they consider them to be wasting their
2:02:18 time almost
2:02:20 so yeah for from what i can see it seems
2:02:22 like
2:02:23 they
2:02:23 superimpose their narrative onto the
2:02:25 quran rather than having the other way
2:02:27 around where the quran is what creates
2:02:29 gives you your narrative so yeah for me
2:02:31 seems like they have epistemologies like
2:02:33 uh
2:02:34 the other way around
2:02:36 yeah so that's what i heard from the
2:02:38 club
2:02:40 absolutely
2:02:42 i think that was a good summary i think
2:02:44 and that's a really interesting point
2:02:45 you made at the end there with because
2:02:47 you realize that and they actually spend
2:02:49 a lot of time shia is actually very good
2:02:51 at logic
2:02:52 mantech and uh usual is actually quite
2:02:55 good they spend a lot of time on that
2:02:56 kind of thing but then at the expense of
2:02:58 or the opportunity because of the quran
2:03:00 i mean
2:03:01 when was the last time we've seen like
2:03:02 an expert
2:03:05 i mean in the quran that's you know
2:03:07 those
2:03:08 and you know the mukhra as well
2:03:10 and egypt
2:03:20 yes of course you mentioned very good
2:03:21 point in the beginning that we need to
2:03:23 be careful about um
2:03:25 saying who actually believes in the
2:03:27 quran
2:03:28 to be in its original form form and
2:03:30 those who believe that there is
2:03:32 interpolation insert in the quran
2:03:34 because a lot of the people even the
2:03:35 shias that i've encountered yeah
2:03:37 they say look we believe in the quran
2:03:38 yeah exactly the quran
2:03:40 but what so but what is interesting is
2:03:43 this
2:03:45 that this that as brother mentioned that
2:03:47 the tariff of the quran is within the
2:03:49 academic works
2:03:51 uh
2:03:52 changing the interpolation of the quran
2:03:53 yes so for example one of the arguably
2:03:56 one of the greatest scholars
2:03:58 yeah he's uh blessed uh he he was buried
2:04:02 in the blessed land of iran as they say
2:04:04 yeah and his full full book
2:04:10 so the decisive statement regarding the
2:04:12 establishing of the notion that the
2:04:13 quran has been changed
2:04:15 but the point here is look we call it
2:04:18 is really proving something yeah i know
2:04:19 it's going to be this yeah this is
2:04:21 celebrated within iran
2:04:23 the funny is we're not going to call
2:04:25 yes we can take fear of people but this
2:04:26 is such a fundamental issue yes that if
2:04:29 a person believes that the quran is
2:04:30 changed you know you don't have to be a
2:04:32 or a judaist a scholar to say
2:04:35 okay this person is a muslim a person
2:04:36 doesn't believe in the quran anybody can
2:04:37 say he's not muslim
2:04:39 so this is the part so those shias who i
2:04:43 i've encountered and they said look we
2:04:44 believe in the quran what they've
2:04:46 struggled to answer i said okay you
2:04:48 believe in the quran alhamdulillah
2:04:50 but what about this scholar
2:04:52 this this this scholar they don't
2:04:54 believe in the quran they believe the
2:04:55 quran is chained are they muslims that's
2:04:57 when they become reluctant they go look
2:04:59 we're not in that position to say the
2:05:00 kafir i mean he's saying the quran is
2:05:02 changed do you believe this to be
2:05:04 covered
2:05:05 you know they just stopped at that point
2:05:07 because one of their polemics about this
2:05:08 topic and um i again i've read through a
2:05:12 lot and this is
2:05:14 basically fundamental in their
2:05:17 um their primary sources so i'll give
2:05:20 you a hadith for example in kafi and
2:05:22 there's a full chapter by the way which
2:05:23 says bab this is absurd
2:05:29 which basically means the chapter of
2:05:31 gagging and tearing out the revelation
2:05:33 in connection to the reliar and this is
2:05:35 all kullini so there's a hadith in this
2:05:37 chapter uh which mentioned in the quran
2:05:39 that indeed the quran that came down
2:05:44 17 000 now listen
2:06:20 that is clear that this quran has been
2:06:23 distorted and has there's been stuff
2:06:25 taken out and to the point he goes this
2:06:27 is
2:06:37 was in the 19th century but you got
2:06:38 another double c who wrote the judge was
2:06:41 in that the sixth century he wrote in
2:06:43 his um
2:06:45 in the argumentation
2:06:46 he puts a passage he said to discuss
2:06:48 about the tariff quran would be very
2:06:50 lengthy be very lengthy and it suffices
2:06:53 and i'm paraphrasing
2:06:56 it suffices that the quran was altered
2:06:59 by the companions it was altered and
2:07:01 this is subhanallah and this shows you
2:07:03 the now when you can't
2:07:05 make the case from the quran
2:07:08 the next step is to try to reject it and
2:07:10 then
2:07:13 there's plenty this is the point of
2:07:14 making that
2:07:15 the average here won't know about this
2:07:17 and this is we have to declare it they
2:07:19 won't know unless and the books are not
2:07:21 translated from arabic or if persian or
2:07:22 any other that's why it's important to
2:07:24 distinguish between shias and shias
2:07:26 and the the the ones that call to it the
2:07:28 scholars and the layman yeah you have to
2:07:30 differentiate that so the the brother
2:07:32 mentioned importantly that it would be
2:07:33 with the twelfth imam my head
2:07:36 look
2:07:36 but
2:07:37 it's saying that the ali came and he
2:07:39 compiled the quran this is the hadith
2:07:42 that he compiled the quran and abu bakr
2:07:44 allah heard about it so they went to
2:07:48 god give us this quran so when they're
2:07:50 ready it says that the quran was
2:07:52 exposing them
2:07:53 so ahmad went back
2:07:55 and heard and told
2:07:57 abu bakr went on her and told her long
2:07:59 story short abubakar goes take it go
2:08:02 back and get it and we wanted to dispose
2:08:04 of it so ali basically argued with him
2:08:06 and in the end said this quran won't
2:08:08 leave me and he'll be passed on to my
2:08:10 descendants until the twelfth imam that
2:08:11 will come and he would
2:08:13 reveal it to the ummah wow and it's it's
2:08:16 interesting that this is authentic
2:08:18 authentic and it is
2:08:23 i'm bringing in this book
2:08:25 the reason why i haven't mentioned the
2:08:26 island is because
2:08:30 there is a consensus on this narration
2:08:34 that the
2:08:43 is very much
2:08:45 um fundamental in their religion and and
2:08:48 to add we don't accuse or she has a
2:08:49 belief in this of course not we just add
2:08:51 that it's in your primary sources and
2:08:52 your heads did propagate it and it's
2:08:55 very sinister and we have to call it out
2:08:56 okay great and is there anything this is
2:08:58 i think we've covered the three main
2:09:00 areas
2:09:01 so
2:09:02 now i'll leave it to the floor is there
2:09:03 anything else which are common
2:09:05 misconceptions common things
2:09:06 interrogations
2:09:08 or arguments that are made that have not
2:09:10 been covered today
2:09:12 yes i think one thing which is usually
2:09:14 mentioned is ask the prophet salallahu
2:09:16 did he not leave a successor
2:09:19 okay yeah yeah and so uh what's an easy
2:09:22 way to answer that um so yeah we would
2:09:23 obviously say that it was that he did
2:09:25 leave a successor and he'd actually let
2:09:27 the people know who it was and you know
2:09:29 it was abu bakr
2:09:36 an old lady comes to him
2:09:38 and
2:09:39 um
2:09:40 she asks you know if i do not find you
2:09:41 here you know uh
2:09:42 in the next year who should i go to and
2:09:44 he says you know go to abu bakr and then
2:09:46 on top of that
2:09:47 um
2:09:48 when the prophet sallam was ill you know
2:09:50 in his last few days he appointed abu
2:09:53 bakr to be the one to lead the salah
2:09:55 for the sahaba
2:09:57 so these are all indications that yeah
2:09:59 he is the the entrusted you know
2:10:01 successor to the prophet sallallahu
2:10:02 alaihi
2:10:04 that's in your narrations
2:10:06 and the plain of
2:10:07 on the way back from hajj the prophet
2:10:09 sallam gathered everyone
2:10:11 and held ali's hand and said
2:10:27 believer so they used that and said look
2:10:29 this is this is good that you mentioned
2:10:30 that because that is one of the key
2:10:32 things the key things that they use that
2:10:33 and we believe that this happened
2:10:35 so we've got a point of contention here
2:10:38 yeah with this
2:10:39 story
2:10:40 how would you answer that tyron so i
2:10:42 guess like we would say that both
2:10:43 happened right so what i mentioned
2:10:44 happened what you mentioned happened no
2:10:45 they would argue yours didn't happen
2:10:47 okay so because we're very arguing from
2:10:49 bukhari yeah yeah this we both agree
2:10:51 that
2:10:52 and that statement was made and um
2:10:58 how would you argue that okay um so i
2:11:01 believe that hadith there's a context
2:11:03 um and yeah the context is that there
2:11:05 were a few people around the prophet
2:11:06 salallahu
2:11:08 who
2:11:09 were you know oppressing uh ali
2:11:12 and you know saying bad things about him
2:11:14 and so for this reason the prophet
2:11:15 salallahu you know on his way back
2:11:17 um he declared to
2:11:19 um the muslims around him you know that
2:11:22 this uh you know the ali you know he is
2:11:24 your moala uh which and that word
2:11:27 mawlana like yeah it has many different
2:11:28 meanings and amongst those meanings um
2:11:31 is you know master and all these other
2:11:33 things but also it can also mean you
2:11:35 know your dear friend
2:11:36 um yeah and the reason why you know like
2:11:38 uh
2:11:39 maybe this can also make evidence
2:11:41 against them is also because the prophet
2:11:43 sallam he did this on his way back after
2:11:45 um you know he delivered the final
2:11:47 sermon right so if this um idea of you
2:11:50 know successorship of ali
2:11:52 was so
2:11:53 important why did he not mention it in
2:11:56 the final sermon when he had all of the
2:11:58 um companions um you know
2:12:01 yeah
2:12:02 all came around to listen to this sermon
2:12:05 why did he not mention it there and he
2:12:06 only mentioned that on the way back uh
2:12:08 to you know a smaller group of them
2:12:10 so
2:12:10 yeah that's good and um on the on the
2:12:13 issue of mawla
2:12:15 i mean the quran says
2:12:18 that
2:12:27 what was he saying yeah how would you
2:12:28 explain that that molar is it what
2:12:30 what's the context here that the would
2:12:31 be your
2:12:32 well i mean it's the one that's
2:12:34 harboring there's keeping them in you
2:12:36 know but it's not
2:12:37 the leader
2:12:39 that's not what it is if you go to the
2:12:41 kawamises if you go to the dictionaries
2:12:43 uh the lexicon of the arabic language
2:12:46 you go to various others it has like
2:12:49 20 30 different meanings
2:12:51 exactly and so
2:12:53 we don't need to necessarily say it
2:12:54 means friend
2:12:56 even if they go with the most stringent
2:12:58 thing that they want to go through they
2:13:00 say they say it means master
2:13:02 whoever is my master
2:13:04 then ali is that's the most severe thing
2:13:06 you can say fine no problem
2:13:09 what does that show does that include
2:13:11 does that mean now that there's 12 imams
2:13:13 all infallibles
2:13:15 that must be followed and that you know
2:13:17 that there are higher but then you've
2:13:18 got another issue as well
2:13:20 has he been now inaugurated has ali now
2:13:23 been inaugurated as a leader with the
2:13:24 prophet muhammad
2:13:26 so there are two leaders at the time so
2:13:28 because
2:13:34 so if that's if that's to be taken as
2:13:36 leader there's two leaders and the other
2:13:38 hadith says if there's two leaders kill
2:13:39 this to kill one of them
2:13:41 it leads to
2:13:43 it leads to absurdities when you say
2:13:45 that so the the point is this doesn't
2:13:48 prove anything this molar hadith does
2:13:50 prove nothing
2:13:51 er even if you want to take their
2:13:53 strongest what it means like you know
2:13:54 mole means master no problem okay fine
2:13:57 accept it how does that go to 12 imams
2:13:59 and all the things that we've just
2:14:00 talked about infallibilities and that
2:14:02 sahaba are bad people and the kuffar
2:14:05 this cannot be proven or substantiated
2:14:07 with such a hadith
2:14:08 there are various other issues as well
2:14:10 like the day of thursday there's another
2:14:12 one oh yeah uh yeah what they call it
2:14:15 or something something something yeah so
2:14:18 yeah summarize it basically the prophet
2:14:20 saws in his final stages
2:14:23 and he requested a pen uh for something
2:14:27 to be written so you won't be misled
2:14:29 after or misguided after yeah so there's
2:14:31 two camps
2:14:32 one of the camps said bring the page
2:14:33 have you guys heard of this before have
2:14:34 you heard this anyone heard this before
2:14:35 yeah
2:14:37 okay okay so bring it so two the
2:14:39 companions split into two groups one
2:14:41 group requested a pen and paper to be
2:14:43 brought because uh the brotherhood would
2:14:44 say something that he would not we won't
2:14:46 be misguided and the second came because
2:14:48 the private session was ill they said
2:14:50 leave him and ahmad was in there and
2:14:51 omar was in the other camp so you have
2:14:53 to remember they they blame ahmad but um
2:14:54 wasn't alone in this there was two camps
2:14:57 so the prophet saws there was commotion
2:14:59 and the president was leave me and he
2:15:01 requested everyone to leave so they
2:15:02 called this the day of thursday because
2:15:04 the tragedy yeah because even that bass
2:15:06 cried when he heard about it the tragedy
2:15:07 even about yeah
2:15:09 i mean but the the fact that they call
2:15:11 this the tragedy is thursday the answer
2:15:13 is
2:15:15 no this is our before this is our report
2:15:17 so the prophet saws this happened on the
2:15:19 thursday the prophet passed away on
2:15:20 monday
2:15:21 he had access
2:15:23 people around him if
2:15:25 he wanted to at least islam he had
2:15:27 friday saturday and sunday
2:15:29 to tell us what this was now we can't
2:15:32 say what it was for all we know could
2:15:33 say abu bakr as a leader
2:15:45 but no one knows see no one can say what
2:15:47 the prophet saws was going to write down
2:15:49 paul we know he could say abu bakr was a
2:15:50 leader let me i mean just just on this
2:15:53 point the one this is actually one of
2:15:55 the biggest evidences against them
2:15:58 because i i've had this conversation
2:16:00 with someone before and they say well
2:16:01 the prophet was going to write down
2:16:02 everything about basically shia creed
2:16:04 it's going to be rare yeah about 12
2:16:06 imams and all the things
2:16:09 it's a constant consistent theme right
2:16:12 the the
2:16:13 high in the quran you know the prophet
2:16:15 was going to write down all the shi'i
2:16:17 tenants and then he will stop so it
2:16:19 becomes a tragedy
2:16:20 but this is actually a huge evidence
2:16:23 against them because you know the quran
2:16:24 states
2:16:29 chapter 5 verse 3 you know today that
2:16:31 perfected your religion i completed my
2:16:32 favor upon you and so on
2:16:34 if the religion is complete whatever the
2:16:37 prophet was going to say
2:16:39 was not going to add to the religion of
2:16:41 islam
2:16:47 yeah exactly like like obviously
2:16:49 obviously not like uh for for like for
2:16:50 credo man and stuff like that right um
2:16:52 this this issue of table or something
2:16:53 which is necessary for the profits like
2:16:55 yeah you can't eat the table
2:16:58 too that they've they've given the
2:17:00 message
2:17:02 successfully conveyed the message and
2:17:04 the the necessity the quality of this is
2:17:06 that you're basically saying the prophet
2:17:08 was a failure
2:17:09 because he failed to transmit to his
2:17:11 ummah what he was supposed to transmit
2:17:13 exactly why they're reaching this is too
2:17:14 far
2:17:15 this is actually the argument and the
2:17:17 there there's a there's a jose of the
2:17:19 hadith it says that um
2:17:23 and they say look this is the quran
2:17:34 sufficient for you is the book of allah
2:17:36 therefore
2:17:38 is is is advising against taking the uh
2:17:42 information of the prophet muhammad
2:17:44 because he said that sufficient for you
2:17:46 this is actually something which is
2:17:48 is repeated quite often say look you're
2:17:50 saying what
2:17:52 like for example when we have a
2:17:53 discussion of shia i've had this before
2:17:55 and i said let's let's just stick with
2:17:56 the quran because we have different
2:17:57 ideas they say look your quran is just
2:17:59 like
2:18:00 because he says
2:18:03 it's it's beyond comical but these are
2:18:06 the kinds of things is there anything
2:18:07 else
2:18:08 before we conclude there's loads no but
2:18:11 main ones
2:18:13 this is a good one
2:18:18 okay go ahead yeah so there's
2:18:20 muslim where um
2:18:22 asked sardinia
2:18:36 was being cursed on the member in
2:18:37 damascus
2:18:38 and uh the prophet alaihis atom said
2:18:41 man
2:18:43 like whoever insults the curses ali
2:18:45 curses me
2:18:47 so how would you answer that okay great
2:18:49 how would you answer it well i'll let
2:18:50 the lands do okay let's open it up but
2:18:52 maybe this is the last one so
2:18:56 what exactly is it
2:18:58 so
2:19:00 so the battles are quite um
2:19:03 sort of it's really cool to
2:19:05 belief the the the rift between the
2:19:07 companions and the battles so
2:19:10 well let's add as well it was ali who
2:19:13 fought because alive took an army from
2:19:16 iraq
2:19:17 to
2:19:18 syria so it went the other way around
2:19:19 but at least then i had the right to
2:19:21 because we didn't give bayer but that's
2:19:22 another side note so after the bat after
2:19:25 the arbitration there was um contention
2:19:28 so adidas was the khalif but he didn't
2:19:30 rule over hashem
2:19:31 the ruler was shamed so there was
2:19:34 many
2:19:35 you know people lost their lives so
2:19:37 naturally some family members were we're
2:19:39 not denying that in the campaign they
2:19:41 were cursing
2:19:43 so
2:19:43 we are asked
2:19:46 what prevents you
2:19:49 yeah what prevents you that you don't
2:19:51 curse abu torah
2:19:53 so what they're arguing from here is uh
2:19:56 moabi was instructing
2:19:58 ali to be cursed on the member on friday
2:20:01 prayers and they use a hadith
2:20:04 that said whoever insults or curses ali
2:20:06 curses me
2:20:08 so how would you
2:20:09 respond to that
2:20:11 they all they have a they have plenty
2:20:12 like these sort of examples in general
2:20:14 they have plenty so
2:20:16 yeah open the floor how would people
2:20:18 answer that
2:20:21 yeah so i'll
2:20:22 answer this uh number one what's worse
2:20:25 and brother gave this example by the way
2:20:26 he said what's worse fighting or cursing
2:20:29 they both fought each other
2:20:31 do you know and that hadith
2:20:32 is not authentic the hadith itself is
2:20:35 not authentic but number one we would
2:20:36 just say look yes
2:20:39 it was happening did my anu instruct
2:20:41 this cursing was he the one that
2:20:43 initiated it no
2:20:44 yes it was happening because of the
2:20:46 issues because in safin many people lost
2:20:48 their lives it was a fitness between the
2:20:50 companions so some some members weren't
2:20:52 angry with ali
2:20:54 when they used to insult him on the
2:20:55 member so what we say to that is no you
2:20:57 can't prove that
2:20:59 initiated it was happening but what's
2:21:01 worse fighting or killing fighting or
2:21:02 cursing they went to war
2:21:04 people fought each other you know and
2:21:07 the hadith is not authentic so that's
2:21:08 the second answer to that
2:21:10 i would stick with that actually the the
2:21:12 fighting thing is i think a little bit
2:21:13 different yeah
2:21:15 because
2:21:17 if it's not authentic then we can
2:21:18 imagine maybe we could look at the chain
2:21:20 a little bit more
2:21:21 somehow some inside some today
2:21:24 on tick tock and i went through
2:21:38 oh
2:21:52 plenty of
2:22:01 all of these are the notorious narrators
2:22:03 that lied upon abu dhabi there you have
2:22:05 it heavily brilliant brilliant
2:22:21 was not legitimate it was not proper
2:22:24 then
2:22:26 rebellion so it's either
2:22:28 true establishment of leadership or it
2:22:30 was rebellion there's no adoption yes
2:22:33 the quran
2:22:56 before
2:22:57 and they will establish their deen which
2:23:00 allah is pleased with and also
2:23:02 there will be a peace i mean in the time
2:23:04 of um even western academics believe
2:23:07 there was so much ammon through his
2:23:08 khilafah
2:23:09 so the quran is saying that allah has
2:23:11 promised
2:23:13 for the sahaba and that has to be
2:23:15 immediately after the salah after
2:23:16 prophethood i mean it's highly
2:23:19 uh
2:23:20 inconceivable to think that for 24 years
2:23:24 or so
2:23:26 of abu bakr umar and uthman all
2:23:28 collectively there was bhagava the law
2:23:30 yes
2:23:36 you know so for like 24 years the
2:23:39 promise of allah did not
2:23:40 was not fulfilled
2:23:42 and those people who upon whom the quran
2:23:45 was i mean the witness the revelation of
2:23:46 the quran of this verse
2:23:48 they did not establish the khalafa in 24
2:23:51 years it was bhagavatam you know and
2:23:52 then he just came after him
2:23:54 he's believable it's unbelievable he's a
2:23:56 jew
2:23:57 and ali's
2:23:58 was
2:24:12 the business with the the toffee man
2:24:15 i've got a video to do what's what's
2:24:16 what
2:24:18 i've seen some things about him
2:24:20 he's hiding in the cave
2:24:22 no but you know do you know much about
2:24:24 his early life
2:24:30 [Laughter]
2:24:36 nothing to do with any apparently it
2:24:37 goes haj but then he's meant to be in
2:24:39 the dab in the cave i mean it's just
2:24:41 mythology but at this stage it's
2:24:42 mythology because if you go to the cave
2:24:45 there's no one there
2:24:47 but have you seen the size of the whole
2:24:49 indicator it's in samar yeah i've seen
2:24:51 this there's a you gotta go down the
2:24:53 salah is it huge
2:24:55 it's small it's a rat can't even come
2:24:57 out of there
2:24:58 i'm not even joking
2:25:00 you look at it and according to a
2:25:02 narration of this they face towards it
2:25:04 as well instead of the so they give
2:25:06 their back to the kaaba but if that's
2:25:08 funny if you were to know about his
2:25:11 mother how she married hasan al-askari
2:25:14 the birth
2:25:15 when he ran away his representatives
2:25:17 honestly disney pixar could make huge
2:25:19 money if they were to make a movie about
2:25:20 that i don't think so i think so i
2:25:22 wouldn't watch this i would like it
2:25:25 what do you call it a great escape nah
2:25:26 like um i've already done this i'll call
2:25:29 it like hidden
2:25:31 until further notice
2:25:32 [Laughter]
2:25:34 but yeah but just it's it's very it's so
2:25:36 ridiculous and i was going through it
2:25:38 yesterday in fact and any and i made a
2:25:40 challenge on tiktok by the way let's get
2:25:42 that out there i said
2:25:43 read
2:25:44 from kamaladeen because dean that book
2:25:46 there was written by a suduk because
2:25:49 many people forgot about the 12th imam
2:25:50 naturally so because he's been hiding
2:25:52 hasn't he you're gonna forget about him
2:25:53 finding nemo
2:25:54 and he had a dream and he saw the mehdi
2:25:57 doing tawaf i'm not even joking honestly
2:25:59 it's in there if you want to read it
2:26:00 that's right and the mehdi was doing
2:26:01 tawaf around the kaaba and he saw him
2:26:03 and he said why have you forgotten about
2:26:05 me and he said i haven't i've
2:26:07 i've dreamt about you many times i've
2:26:09 been giving speech because no you need
2:26:10 to write a decisive book about my ba
2:26:13 so with this book the book was dedicated
2:26:15 to educating the masses about the
2:26:17 twelfth imam whose name was by the way
2:26:19 muhammad ibn hasan al-askari
2:26:21 in this book in the chapter 42 is
2:26:23 talking about his birth
2:26:25 i challenged any shia to go just reading
2:26:27 just be brave enough to just read hadith
2:26:30 number one stay waiting
2:26:32 well
2:26:33 watch that video wait for it
2:26:35 um
2:26:36 did you have anything to say
2:26:38 yeah that was uh about the
2:26:41 pen and paper incident yeah go ahead
2:26:43 yeah so
2:26:44 i was i just wanted to mention that if
2:26:47 that incident was to be true
2:26:49 let's just say that
2:26:51 the prophet i like that the pen and
2:26:52 paper incident that's what we should
2:26:54 call it yeah
2:26:56 no they call it the tragedy of thursday
2:26:58 right
2:26:59 okay
2:27:00 yeah so if that were to be true the
2:27:02 prophet a requested
2:27:04 pen paper to write down
2:27:05 who's going to be the successor
2:27:07 then the
2:27:09 the incident in gadir home
2:27:12 loses all his value that's a really good
2:27:15 point that is a really really good point
2:27:17 um because
2:27:19 then
2:27:20 what was the point of
2:27:21 saying it twice yeah yeah yeah yeah
2:27:24 very good point also you know you can
2:27:26 say that
2:27:31 it was ali's duty to bring the
2:27:34 to bring the people
2:27:36 pen and paper
2:27:37 you know because he was the
2:27:39 it was
2:27:41 so he was on his duty to bring the
2:27:42 peanut pepper because he was the guest
2:27:44 so he was the household yeah so
2:27:47 it's not gonna be the guests the one
2:27:48 they're gonna they're supposed to bring
2:27:50 the young people so if he didn't bring
2:27:53 that so you can't blame a uh abu bakr or
2:27:59 something that was supposed to be done
2:28:00 by ali
2:28:01 that's a really good point as well man
2:28:03 yeah i like that i like that
2:28:05 that's it you know i mean because just
2:28:07 because alma said you know just leave
2:28:09 leave the prophet it doesn't mean that
2:28:12 well that had to be obeyed why are you
2:28:14 listening to ahmad to get the pen and
2:28:16 paper and write it down
2:28:18 authentically
2:28:21 allegedly said that i'm becoming
2:28:22 delirious yeah yeah that's right yeah
2:28:24 yeah so just add that as well because
2:28:25 that's a potential uh attack as well but
2:28:27 that's not in the narration of bukhari
2:28:29 muslim just to add interesting good
2:28:31 thanks for adding that i think we've
2:28:32 covered quite a lot here today i don't
2:28:34 know how many hours this video is
2:28:35 probably five hours or something how
2:28:37 many hours is it
