00:00:00.280 Sajid apparently has missed all those statements,
00:00:02.860 so hopefully he will take note of what I'm saying in this video
00:00:04.900 so that he can stop misrepresenting me in the future.
00:00:07.700 I've come together with the one on my charity.
00:00:09.740 This winter, Balanced Sisters,
00:00:11.120 helped to feed those who are in poor conditions
00:00:13.000 and who don't even have the clothing to keep themselves warm.
00:00:15.520 Your small donation might mean nothing to you,
00:00:17.240 but it can change their life and help them survive the winter this year.
00:00:23.040 The Madhalis say, do not rebel against the ruler. 0.93
00:00:26.120 Muslim Skeptic says, do not rebel against the ruler.
00:00:28.400 The Madhalis say, you should obey the ruler. 1.00
00:00:31.000 Muslim Skeptic says, you should obey the ruler. 0.93
00:00:33.180 The Madhalis say, advise the ruler in private. 0.88
00:00:35.660 Muslim Skeptic says, yes, advise the ruler in private if possible.
00:00:39.480 But if it's not possible,
00:00:40.540 then it's permissible to do it publicly in order to serve the greater good.
00:00:43.220 That's it.
00:00:43.580 That's the only difference that is causing these Madhalis to denounce us as deviants 0.87
00:00:47.040 and declare that we are khawarij, dogs of hellfire, 0.90
00:00:49.360 and that our blood is halal.
00:00:50.520 And that is really what it means to be a bootlicker.
00:00:53.620 That is what I am referring to when I use the term bootlicker. 1.00
00:00:56.600 A bootlicker is not someone who says,
00:00:58.080 don't do khuruj, or don't do takfir, or don't disobey the ruler.
00:01:01.840 That's not what makes someone a bootlicker.
00:01:03.920 Because all of those positions are represented in the scholarly tradition.
00:01:07.260 A bootlicker, on the other hand, says,
00:01:08.900 don't you dare ever do Amr bin Ma'roof 0.92
00:01:11.280 wa nahi ani al-munkar against the ruler publicly.
00:01:13.620 Don't you dare. 0.93
00:01:14.620 Shut your mouth no matter what kind of evil and kufr and dhulm the ruler does. 1.00
00:01:19.060 Sorry, Akhi. 1.00
00:01:20.000 You are a bootlicker.
00:01:21.280 And there is no one from the Salaf who share your deviated view. 0.96
00:01:24.460 Yes, there were Salaf who remained silent in the face of the munkar of the ruler, 1.00
00:01:27.900 and other Salaf who loudly and openly denounced the ruler for that munkar.
00:01:32.320 But the first group never told the second group to shut up. 0.99
00:01:35.400 Shut your mouth. 1.00
00:01:36.280 The Salaf were not bootlickers like you. 1.00
00:01:38.480 When we look at the Quran, the Sunnah, the statements of the Salaf,
00:01:40.820 the statements of the Khalaf,
00:01:41.740 and the Fatawa of the senior ulama, past and present,
00:01:44.000 there is so much evidence that agrees with our position
00:01:46.780 and contradicts the view of the Madhalis and bootlickers.
00:01:49.720 Now, there's one other loose end that we should address.
00:01:56.360 In his video, Sajid implies that I have made blanket takfir against rulers.
00:02:00.280 As proof of this, he takes two separate statements I have made in separate contexts,
00:02:04.440 and he brings these statements together as proof that I'm doing blanket takfir
00:02:07.820 and inciting rebellion against Muslim rulers.
00:02:09.600 The first statement I have made is that no Muslim country today fully applies sharia.
00:02:14.280 The second statement is that not ruling by the sharia makes one a kafir.
00:02:17.980 Sajid combines these two statements to claim that I am making blanket takfir on all rulers today.
00:02:23.300 But this is not fair.
00:02:24.360 I made each of these statements in a particular context,
00:02:26.940 and I have never made the blanket takfir that Sajid is accusing me of making.
00:02:30.760 As for the statement that no country applies sharia 100%,
00:02:33.420 that's obviously true, and I dare Sajid to deny it.
00:02:36.540 Sadly, Muslim countries have been ravished by colonialism and military pressure applied by Western states.
00:02:41.500 For that reason, such societies do not and are not permitted to apply the full range of sharia rules.
00:02:45.800 This does not mean that they do not apply some sharia rules or teachings,
00:02:49.180 or that their population and their rulers have categorically rejected the sharia.
00:02:52.780 In stating that no Muslim land applies the full range of sharia,
00:02:55.740 I am simply stating a universally recognized fact.
00:02:58.740 As for the statement that not applying the sharia makes one a kafir,
00:03:01.480 that is simply what Allah says in the Quran.
00:03:03.520 وَمَا لَمْ يَحْكُم بِمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهِ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ
00:03:06.700 Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, 0.95
00:03:08.960 then those are truly the disbelievers.
00:03:11.300 Now, this is a clear-cut verse that no Muslim can deny. 1.00
00:03:14.400 But of course, that doesn't mean we can apply this verse willy-nilly.
00:03:17.600 Rather, applying this verse has many important nuances
00:03:20.200 that an unqualified person like me is not in a position to exercise.
00:03:24.140 But my point is, I have never claimed that whoever does not rule 100% by the sharia
00:03:27.940 is automatically a kafir.
00:03:29.860 Rather, as I've stated explicitly,
00:03:31.620 there are complex contextual factors to take into account,
00:03:34.640 which is why I have said explicitly, on many occasions,
00:03:37.240 leave the takfir to the qualified scholars.
00:03:39.540 We're not going to make takfir and say,
00:03:41.320 okay, this ruler is a kafir, this ruler is a kafir.
00:03:43.640 People might have a problem.
00:03:45.100 The other side is going to have a problem with that as well.
00:03:46.900 We'll just leave it because we're lay people.
00:03:49.080 We're not scholars.
00:03:49.860 We have no authority.
00:03:50.520 So there's no reason for us to go to that extent.
00:03:51.980 But we just affirm in no unclear terms
00:03:54.060 that if you're going to abolish the sharia of Allah, 0.99
00:03:56.500 you're going to enforce secularism,
00:03:57.800 you're going to put social policies into place
00:03:59.640 that are literally taking Muslims out of Islam step by step 1.00
00:04:02.200 and destroying the next generation of Muslims, 1.00
00:04:03.740 this is kufr. 1.00
00:04:04.640 This is kufr.
00:04:05.160 We're going to be clear cut about that.
00:04:06.300 So one side will say, oh, you're takfiri.
00:04:07.820 And the other side will say that,
00:04:09.500 oh, well, you're murji.
00:04:10.780 You're doing your jat
00:04:11.620 because you're not going in specifically saying,
00:04:13.000 this is a kafir, this is a kafir, this is a kafir.
00:04:14.960 So Allah alam, you know, 0.99
00:04:15.720 that's just my understanding in a quick nutshell,
00:04:18.360 but there's a lot of tafaseel.
00:04:19.440 Sajid apparently has missed all those statements.
00:04:21.740 So hopefully he will take note of what I'm saying in this video
00:04:24.000 so that he can stop misrepresenting me in the future.
00:04:29.560 Now that we've debunked Sajid's claims,
00:04:31.500 let's move on to another major issue.
00:04:33.480 And I invite you, Brother Sajid,
00:04:35.460 to have a conversation about these issues.
00:04:37.780 Let's have a dialogue.
00:04:39.220 You have my number.
00:04:40.440 You can contact me at any time.
00:04:41.840 And we can easily set something up
00:04:43.380 to openly discuss these issues.
00:04:45.380 But if you're not willing to discuss openly
00:04:47.120 and prefer to make a video response,
00:04:49.500 then I have some questions that I insist that you address.
00:04:52.540 I would really like to get your answers
00:04:54.080 to the following questions.
00:04:54.980 First, if criticism of rulers leads to bloodshed,
00:04:58.220 then why doesn't your history
00:04:59.600 criticizing U.S. social policy
00:05:01.580 and criticizing U.S. government officials
00:05:03.560 like Ilhan Omar count as a security threat?
00:05:06.320 Number two, if you're so concerned about bloodshed,
00:05:08.460 what about the bloodshed from two decades
00:05:10.160 of the global war on terror
00:05:11.680 and CVE policies that are applied in Muslim countries?
00:05:15.100 These countering violent extremism policies
00:05:17.040 have been used to kill and imprison countless Muslims 0.86
00:05:19.680 for opposing secular governance 1.00
00:05:21.480 on the basis that those Muslims are dangerous khadijis 1.00
00:05:24.040 who should be considered terrorists and extremists. 0.98
00:05:26.380 Do you have any concern for that bloodshed?
00:05:28.380 Third, there are around 50 or so Muslim countries
00:05:30.880 in the world.
00:05:31.740 Do we have to obey all 50 of those rulers
00:05:33.860 and refrain from criticizing any of them?
00:05:35.780 How is it possible to do that
00:05:36.900 when these countries often disagree with each other
00:05:38.700 and when even the rulers of these countries
00:05:40.360 are engaged in criticizing other rulers of other countries?
00:05:43.380 How should we decide which rulers should be obeyed
00:05:45.540 and which rulers should not be criticized?
00:05:47.100 Number four, here is a hypothetical.
00:05:48.440 If soldiers came to a Muslim's house
00:05:50.520 under orders from the ruler 1.00
00:05:51.720 to sexually assault his wife 1.00
00:05:53.200 and murder his children, 1.00
00:05:54.620 if the Muslim father says, 1.00
00:05:56.240 no, don't do this to my family,
00:05:57.940 does that count as khuruj and inciting rebellion?
00:06:00.320 Number five, imagine there is a Muslim ruler who says,
00:06:02.980 I am a Muslim, 0.99
00:06:03.760 but I'm going to force every Muslim in my country 1.00
00:06:05.800 to renounce Islam and become an atheist. 0.94
00:06:08.180 Is it permissible for Muslims 1.00
00:06:09.520 to publicly criticize the ruler for that?
00:06:11.500 Finally, what do you have to say
00:06:12.760 about Sheikh al-Albani
00:06:13.640 and his public criticism of Saudi?
00:06:15.800 Is Sheikh al-Albani a khariji?
00:06:17.260 Is Sheikh al-Albani inciting bloodshed?
00:06:19.080 I would like Sajid and any other madhali 1.00
00:06:21.140 to answer these simple questions.
00:06:23.020 These are questions no Muslim 1.00
00:06:24.240 should have any trouble answering. 0.97
00:06:25.980 It's only the bizarre, deviant ideology
00:06:28.060 of the madhalis
00:06:28.780 that complicate such simple, obvious issues.
00:06:31.260 May Allah rectify our affairs. 0.98
