Transcript
00:00:00.000
Islam doesn't say that because we told you Allah and the message said do not be in a secluded place, the third person is shaitan,
00:00:06.580
therefore you raping and justifies that, or attempting to rape or whatever.
00:00:11.400
It's the place where anybody you wronged, you will have to give them their rights.
00:00:19.900
But sometimes we watch old videos of ourselves and we're crying, what the bra, what the, what the raas?
00:00:30.000
From a juvenile, where my clothes had holes in them, and my afro was picky, to them 90s, Moschino and Versace, no laces in the rachis, new millennium.
00:00:44.320
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:48.080
Before I start, I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the most merciful, the most trust, or praise His glory and gratitude to belong to Him.
00:00:52.600
Recent controversy and scandal has arisen once again, this time regarding Prophet Dawood Kim.
00:00:58.220
And the allegations are that he attempted to rape a Muslim sister.
00:01:04.880
Now, before we delve into that, brothers and sisters, we need to understand something, yeah?
00:01:09.800
That this is something regarding another person violating the rights of another person.
00:01:16.580
So, the Sharia has come down to protect that, yeah?
00:01:24.160
You know, a lot of people have been jumping on board, people come to me and say, Prophet Ali, do a video, etc.
00:01:29.420
And there was those who genuinely wanted to do a video for other, like, reasons to, you know, which we're going to come to, yeah?
00:01:35.840
So, with these things, brothers and sisters, nobody cares about your opinion, my opinion.
00:01:41.480
These are matters that are crimes, and Islam, they're crimes, and Islam has come to protect the rights of individuals, yeah?
00:01:48.880
Sometimes, in certain situations, a female's rights are greater than a man's, yeah?
00:01:52.500
And in certain situations, a man's rights is greater than a woman.
00:01:55.660
And in certain situations, both of their rights are equal.
00:01:58.000
So, brothers and sisters, when we're touching this, we're coming from an Islamic angle.
00:02:05.180
I'm not a medium for people to run to me and look for solutions, but in this specific matter, I'm going to tell you guys why I'm doing this video.
00:02:11.380
Because I didn't want anything to do with it, but I'm going to tell you guys why I'm doing it.
00:02:14.800
Now, the first thing, my impression was, to stay silent.
00:02:20.840
Because, brothers and sisters, when these things happen, you'll have two kinds of groups, yeah?
00:02:27.060
If there's two people, one person's wrong with the other.
00:02:29.340
They come to his defense, or her defense, and start attacking the other.
00:02:39.440
Because a lot of people are going to be in regret.
00:02:41.380
As things unfold, you're going to regret certain things.
00:02:49.140
I just wanted to analyze and see what's actually going on for myself.
00:02:53.100
So, now, it's very important for us to stay silent, brothers and sisters, yeah?
00:02:56.580
A lot of scholars have said that they have never, they have regretted many times speaking, but they have never regretted being silent.
00:03:06.920
And the Prophet ﷺ said that whoever guarantees what's between his jaws, yeah, jaw bones, and what is between these two legs, I will guarantee paradise for him.
00:03:18.860
Meaning those who protect their chastity from zina, what's between your legs, your private parts.
00:03:23.600
And whoever protects what's between their jaws, the tongue, yeah?
00:03:27.180
A lot of people end up in the fire because of the tongue.
00:03:38.340
If you've got nothing good to say, stay silent.
00:03:40.760
So, brothers and sisters, that is the first thing of action that we need to do.
00:03:43.660
That's the first thing that I want to tell you guys.
00:03:44.920
Yeah, I'm going to go through seven points, yeah?
00:03:47.300
When these scandals come out, brothers and sisters, whatever it may be, be silent.
00:03:55.420
Now, from what I know, brothers and sisters, that a brother Dawood Kim, a video was, a video emerged of him at the bottom of the stairs putting his trousers on.
00:04:12.960
And then you've got a sister, excuse me, a sister who's distraught, who's crying, yeah?
00:04:18.480
And she's accusing him of allegedly raping her.
00:04:22.520
Now, when it comes to Islam, visual content can be manipulated, yeah?
00:04:27.460
And we know that with the deep fake or something like that, yeah?
00:04:32.240
So, when it comes to that instance, like, obviously, one has to be careful, man, because in today's time, weird times, all kinds of stuff happen.
00:04:38.800
However, brother Dawood Kim came out and verified that.
00:04:42.640
So, it reminds us of the story of the man who came to the Prophet ﷺ, and also a woman came once as well, and he said,
00:04:55.620
And he said it a third time, the Prophet ﷺ moved away from him.
00:04:59.000
Because he knows how severe the punishment is going to be.
00:05:01.480
Now, in this very instance, zina actually means one penetrating the vagina.
00:05:10.660
In this very instance, that didn't happen, yeah?
00:05:13.040
But the point that I'm trying to say is that brother Dawood came out himself and said, yes, this happened.
00:05:19.200
So, now, the thing is this, brothers and sisters, yeah?
00:05:29.600
That misconception is that, for example, Allah ﷻ tells us, Islam is all about prevention, then cure, okay?
00:05:45.580
Now, listen to me carefully, before people start jumping to conclusions that, oh my gosh, are you victim blaming?
00:05:52.900
Just because Allah ﷻ says, stay away from zina, don't indulge with the opposite gender, do not be in a secluded place.
00:05:58.640
Not being in a secluded place, what Allah ﷻ says, is to avoid zina.
00:06:02.840
This doesn't mean that if a man and a woman is in a secluded place and the man attempts to rape her,
00:06:09.080
or, I don't know if this is even possible, a woman tries to rape him.
00:06:13.660
I'm so sorry, I'm not trying to be sexist, but I highly doubt that happens, yeah?
00:06:21.800
You can't come and say, oh, you guys were in a secluded place, you deserved it, girl.
00:06:28.120
Islam doesn't say that because we told you Allah ﷻ said, do not be in a secluded place, the third person is shaitan,
00:06:34.520
therefore you raping and justifies that, or attempting to rape or whatever.
00:06:39.280
Number one, you are in a haram, you're committing haram because you're in a secluded place, yeah?
00:06:43.800
In the context of it, it can lead to haram, yeah?
00:06:46.880
And now on top of that, you are violating the right of another person.
00:06:53.720
So when Allah tells the believing woman to cover herself up, it's not...
00:06:58.520
Allah doesn't say cover up because men can't control themselves.
00:07:01.620
The men should be lowering their gaze from the get-go.
00:07:04.540
So this big misconception can be thrown out the window.
00:07:09.340
And what really annoyed me further, which is actually point four, but I'll come straight to it now,
00:07:14.540
is that certain people who are a fan of Brother Dawood Kim is attacking this sister.
00:07:27.240
And I'm going to use big words, it's preposterous, yeah?
00:07:29.280
I'm sure that's a word that exists like that, yeah?
00:07:33.100
How could you blame somebody who, like, was attempted to get raped, yeah?
00:07:40.340
Brother Dawood Kim, in his video, pointed that out as well.
00:07:46.560
So that's why I'm saying, this video is not about your opinion or my opinion.
00:07:57.160
She may have committed a haram in the context of letting him in.
00:08:00.620
But she is not to blame to be raped or attempted to be raped, yeah?
00:08:17.940
And now, one thing that we need to highlight is the following, yeah?
00:08:25.740
Now, saying this was before Islam does not mean that we're saying what was done was right.
00:08:32.480
What we're saying is that the lifestyle he lived on, he said it on his revert story,
00:08:38.380
Suicidal, or if I'm not mistaken, you know, drinking, etc.
00:08:43.100
Now, the thing is, brothers and sisters, we need to understand that the life,
00:08:48.180
and I come from that lifestyle in the context of clubbing and girls and all that nonsense, yeah?
00:08:59.920
It's such a miserable life, brothers and sisters, that we're not wishing on anybody, yeah?
00:09:04.080
And that's why people come to Islam, because when they come to Islam, reverts are more stern.
00:09:10.140
Because they acknowledge the filth they came from.
00:09:13.880
And that's why alcohol is the mother of all evils.
00:09:20.400
Once again, I repeat, I'm not saying that, um, the, the, the, the, like, the, the, trying to breathe away the blame.
00:09:30.100
Even though he says he doesn't remember anything, alcohol is the mother of all evils.
00:09:34.100
That's what Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, has told us to abstain from it.
00:09:40.500
You know, I don't know what people say, you know, when people come to Islam,
00:09:49.360
When it comes to repentance, brothers and sisters, when one repents, or one has come to Islam,
00:10:02.720
And wronged Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, is that you stop the sin.
00:10:08.060
So, you say, oh Allah, I'm not, I'm going to not go back to it, inshallah.
00:10:13.900
This is a condition for one violating him own self, yeah?
00:10:21.240
Now, there's a fourth condition for the one who violates someone else's rights.
00:10:30.240
I've watched a lot of videos, reacted, not many people touched upon this.
00:10:33.840
The fourth condition is that you need to ask forgiveness from the very person.
00:10:40.540
That you ask forgiveness from the person because you violated their rights.
00:10:45.100
Now, the image that I'm going to have in front of you, brothers and sisters, here, shows
00:10:48.260
that in Islam, our worldview, what happens from us coming to this world, to dying, to judgment
00:10:54.160
day, to being judged, to expiated, there's a specific place, brothers and sisters, on
00:11:00.920
the screen, if you can see on the screen, brothers and sisters, is a place called the
00:11:07.100
I don't know what to say, let me turn to it, yeah?
00:11:08.720
This place is just those who crossed the Serat, yeah?
00:11:14.980
And this is the place where anybody you wronged, you will have to give them their rights.
00:11:23.540
That, you know, if you have good deeds, you know, you would give it to that person.
00:11:27.520
If you have no good deeds left, then you will have to carry their sins, etc., etc., yeah?
00:11:32.380
So this is something that is very severe, very severe, that it's one of the conditions
00:11:35.900
of repentance, not only that, if, like, if those people who you have wronged, under
00:11:40.820
their judgment, before you enter heaven, oh, you're going to be stopped.
00:11:44.300
You've wronged this person, brother, good deeds, yeah, I know you did a lot of good deeds.
00:11:47.280
But this person, Allah takes it seriously when you violate the right of others.
00:11:53.700
So, brothers and sisters, so, he needs to ask for forgiveness.
00:11:57.360
If you have taken money from someone, you have to return that money.
00:12:00.320
You owe someone money, you have to give that money back.
00:12:07.120
Now, as far as I know, what Daoud, brother Daoud, said is that before that, they pressed
00:12:14.500
And the charges were dropped because she dropped charges.
00:12:22.740
He said he was drunk or whatever happened, blah, blah, blah, and he apologized.
00:12:26.520
Now, if he apologized, and if from what I know, she accepted it, the case is closed.
00:12:34.020
When I mean the case is closed, I'm saying she's apologized, he's apologized.
00:12:38.360
She, if she has accepted, because from what I know, he said he has, and there was a document,
00:12:45.980
Yeah, and if the case is closed in the context of, he made a mistake, the case is closed.
00:12:50.800
This was about, yeah, like before, apparently before Islam, as far as I know.
00:12:57.120
And may Allah reward the sister for forgiving him, yeah?
00:13:02.980
So, from what I know, the case should be closed.
00:13:05.040
Now, the one thing that I want to advise, brother Daoud, and I spoke to him in private,
00:13:08.140
and I'm still speaking to him in private, you know, because I didn't know one other concern
00:13:11.140
that we had, was that the rights of the sister, and now the rights of himself.
00:13:16.360
Because he looks like he's in a bad place, and we can't abandon him, yeah?
00:13:19.500
Now, brothers and sisters, we need to understand something, yeah?
00:13:36.220
And Alhamdulillah, I haven't done nothing crazy, but the thing is, there's people that I've wronged.
00:13:41.480
And I think to myself, what the hell was I thinking?
00:13:46.100
Now, if he's repented genuinely, brother Dawood, you should have not exposed your sins further, yeah?
00:13:56.440
But you should have not go into detail, because you did say that you did drink alcohol, being as a Muslim, etc.
00:14:02.600
And I know, look, when I came to Islam, I had a few bad traits, man.
00:14:08.800
Allah helped me by getting involved in the Dawah, Alhamdulillah.
00:14:11.640
But, brother Dawood, you should have not mentioned your sins.
00:14:16.000
And, like I said, brothers and sisters, it's by Allah's mercy that Allah hides our sins and we'll be finished, yeah?
00:14:23.420
I know he was not in the right place, but you should have mentioned it.
00:14:26.020
And that's why I love the statement of Abu Bakr, radiallahu anh.
00:14:31.700
May Allah forgive me for what you do not know about me.
00:14:34.540
And may Allah make me better than what you think of me.
00:14:39.840
And may Allah forgive me because it's by his mercy that you don't know stuff about me, yeah?
00:14:46.080
So, I would just advise him that don't do that, inshallah.
00:14:49.640
And one thing that I want to mention is that, you know, yes, you drank alcohol.
00:14:52.340
There was a companion of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
00:15:02.560
Omar ibn Qattab said that the lash should be 80, yeah?
00:15:08.220
Because he believed a drunk person is more prone to slander people.
00:15:11.260
So, he said the lash, his understanding, should be 80 lashes, yeah?
00:15:18.060
But one day, some companions, he would keep doing the same thing.
00:15:20.640
And one day, companions came and said, May Allah curse you.
00:15:23.240
The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, Don't say that.
00:15:29.340
Brothers and sisters, this is the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, saying,
00:15:31.460
You see in a man, if there was today, if you had the super Salafi, subhanAllah, the
00:15:39.000
Alhamdulillah, Allah is judging us, not them, yeah?
00:15:41.700
The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, affirming that he loves Allah and his messenger,
00:15:43.920
even though he's committing his sin, drinking alcohol, etc.
00:15:46.840
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to forgive you, Prophet Dawood, and to work in yourself,
00:15:51.100
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to jump on YouTube straight away.
00:16:03.920
This is something that I suffer on a daily basis.
00:16:08.440
But one thing I want to say to you, Prophet Dawood, I've said this to you in private as
00:16:13.200
If we're going to disregard people, and totally, if this sister, who's been a victim,
00:16:17.200
is asking for Dawood to totally be obliterated, like, finish, kalas, done, this is wrong.
00:16:23.820
If he's changed his ways to the better, the sister should say, you know what, yes, what
00:16:31.720
But to say to him that he can't be a change man and change his ways for the better, I'm
00:16:38.040
If that's the case, then let's take away all the sahaba, the companions.
00:16:40.800
Yeah, Omar Ibn Khattab used to bury his daughter alive.
00:16:47.020
Brothers and sisters, this is what jahiliyyah is.
00:16:48.520
This is what living in ignorance is, brothers and sisters.
00:16:52.740
There's certain things I look back and I'm like, what the flipping hell was I thinking?
00:16:55.760
Like, I'm looking, what, like, what, is that me?
00:16:58.120
But sometimes we watch old videos of ourselves and we're crying, what the bra, what the,
00:17:05.740
Brothers and sisters, give people chances, yeah?
00:17:10.060
I know in Korea, I was watching a video that some people say that in Korea is very strict.
00:17:17.860
And brother Dawood Kim, I highly recommend you to put your videos back up.
00:17:24.500
And no, and I believe it's unfair for him to take all his videos down because of the pressure.
00:17:31.320
Yes, he should, I'm saying he should keep those up and take time out, reflect, and come back.
00:17:38.660
Because if you've changed yourself, if you've sincerely repented, you can't question your intentions.
00:17:42.240
If you have, you've learned from your mistakes, you've apologized to the sister, the sister's accepted, move on, inshallah.
00:17:49.840
And we ask the sister to forgive him, inshallah, which we believe he has.
00:17:57.100
And brother and sisters, brother Dawood, inshallah.
00:18:00.160
Like I said, we are here for you in the context of if you feel depressed or whatever, we know how it is.
00:18:07.060
And brother and sisters, inshallah, we ask you to make dua for all of us.
00:18:15.320
And if there's brothers watching this, it's off topic as well a bit.
00:18:19.280
Wallahi, brothers in the scene, inshallah, money, fame, and woman.
00:18:28.320
If you are coming to do YouTube videos, to gain these, Allah will humiliate you.
00:18:46.220
Anything good for me is Allah and His Messenger.
