Ali Dawah - DINA TOKIO CROSSED THE LINE

00:00:00.000 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends

00:00:04.200 I hope you guys are doing well welcome to this video we're going to get straight into it we're

00:00:07.020 not going to waste time inshaAllah we are in Ghana in Africa we've come here with human

00:00:11.400 relief foundation because in Ramadan we raised some funds and alhamdulillah we went to a few

00:00:15.460 villages building mechanical water wells and inshaAllah we have a future project in 2019

00:00:19.920 to build a school masjid playground for the kids and a water well in a village that doesn't have

00:00:24.440 these resources that is something separate inshaAllah so that's one of the reasons we're

00:00:27.860 sitting on the floor alhamdulillah we'll put the link on the bottom of this video we will inshaAllah

00:00:30.640 we'll put it as well inshaAllah because we do want we're going to come to inshaAllah at the end of

00:00:34.040 the video so why we sat on the floor what's this video about yeah um so now as far as I know hijab

00:00:40.360 you got some messages yesterday a bombardment of messages yeah i got bombardment of messages i was

00:00:44.640 thinking it was usually our wi-fi doesn't work in Ghana a lot of the time yeah as i put it on i've

00:00:49.660 got my messages a lot of them were messages from uh dino tokyo's followers or fans or something like

00:00:55.080 that and they were sending me this article that just went up that she promoted which was an article

00:01:00.540 which said that um muslim women should be allowed to marry non-muslim men because of the equality

00:01:08.560 premise yeah okay so she she shared this she shared this she put on her website okay it was this written

00:01:14.360 by her it was written by someone else so i don't know who it was written by okay um that's where we

00:01:19.700 had the discussion you kind of checked up yeah so basically then i started getting a bombardment

00:01:23.080 of messages and i was quite surprised that a lot of sisters were sending me these messages so i was

00:01:26.160 thinking generally it's the brothers who act a bit nosy but it was actually sisters who were very

00:01:29.740 concerned yeah so i looked at it and i was a bit like i was a bit upset let me tell you why i was

00:01:34.900 upset because if you guys remember from last year the sister dino tokyo done a video where she said

00:01:40.200 that she shrugs with her hijab she hates wearing it but she wears it for the sake of allah me and

00:01:44.560 musa done a video which you can see on the screen and we we try to encourage her yeah we we try to

00:01:48.800 encourage her sister alhamdulillah you know you acknowledge that it's hard but for the sake of allah

00:01:52.320 you're wearing it we try to encourage her you know we've always tried to assume the best we

00:01:55.940 haven't been like the people who refuse who is harsh who says all kinds of stuff we never went

00:02:00.340 down that route you know and we don't want to we did that after that we say you know we assume the

00:02:05.000 best in our sister no problem then sister dino tokyo came and said that she's taking the hijab off even

00:02:09.760 though she said that we still said we assume the best in our sister she might be going through

00:02:13.180 something she just gave birth postnatal depression whatever it may be we assume the best in her

00:02:18.880 we assume the best in her so then afterwards then we did a video where we note we watched a

00:02:25.580 video of dino tokyo and her husband sid where in this video we caught our attention that sid was saying

00:02:32.160 very modest stuff very stuff that you wouldn't and dino was correcting him and we kind of had to go

00:02:37.420 at sid a bit by advising him and saying look your wife is going through something and you're turning

00:02:42.360 this into a joke and you're saying inappropriate things that she's keep correcting you on even then we

00:02:47.240 assumed the best in her and had advised sid now it's come to the point where we're thinking to

00:02:52.700 ourselves look we've assumed the best once we've assumed the best twice we've assumed the best three

00:02:56.060 times we've been kinder we're still kind we're not there's not an excuse to tell you in this video

00:03:00.100 we're not going to be kind but i think a line has been crossed and now it's unfair because it's unfair

00:03:06.240 on her followers it's unfair of the naive youngsters muslim youth who are watching her and now with she's

00:03:13.600 coming up with this thing where she's shared it from another sister saying oh um why can't a muslim

00:03:20.800 woman marry non-muslim men this is a line which has been crossed let me tell you something i want to

00:03:25.700 make it categorically clear i don't care what dino tokyo does i don't actually care one bit if she

00:03:31.220 decides to take off her head scarf if she decides to put on a head scarf or she decides to walk in the

00:03:36.780 street naked or if she decides to walk in the street like you know wearing a suit to me that's her

00:03:41.660 personal choice that's her relationship with god etc now the reason why i was quite upset and this i'm

00:03:47.340 not gonna lie to you this this move of hers actually really disappointed me from her yeah even though i

00:03:52.920 don't know who she is too much but i've been made aware of in recent times the reason why this really

00:03:58.160 disappointed me is because actually now she's making a theological case right or she's promoting

00:04:02.760 someone who's made a theological philosophical case so it's different between you doing something and

00:04:07.720 you believing in something and disseminating something and you're changing a narrative so

00:04:11.380 for me the line that's being crossed is like oh we all commit sins forget about it dino tokyo

00:04:16.940 she could be on the day of judgment you know i'm saying she goes to heaven and we go to the hellfire

00:04:20.980 yeah we could be doing more showing off than she does because at the end of the day you know i'm

00:04:24.720 saying we're doing dawah which means that we're trying to promote islam so all of that could be in

00:04:29.760 vain where she's not even doing dawah she's not she's never claimed to be a religious authority until now

00:04:33.700 yeah where she's actually now transmitting or she's promoting yeah a theological thing so let's

00:04:39.720 let's get to the crux of the matter because i don't want to waste time talking about dino tokyo i'm not

00:04:43.340 not to be rude to her but i i'm more i'm more concerned in this video here with what she actually

00:04:50.720 trying to say now so the the article i read it in this entirety from beginning to end was and it was an

00:04:58.160 article that was trying to legitimize women in islam marrying uh non-muslim men first and foremost

00:05:05.180 we have to make it very clear the ruling in islam is that even a man is not allowed to generally

00:05:09.500 speaking marry a non-muslim woman the only exception to that is in surah al-ma'idah in the beginning of

00:05:15.960 chapter 5 of the quran where it says that a man can a man can marry a jew or christian yeah a jew or

00:05:23.060 christian so that's the exception and even with that exception there are exceptions of that there

00:05:28.280 are conditions that have to be met which i think were alluded to in the article that she put forward

00:05:32.020 so is one of those things chastity the woman has to be a practicing christian a true christian so if

00:05:38.400 you go for example in britain where we live we know that a lot of women that say that they're christian

00:05:42.220 are not really christian so would they be eligible for marriage no they wouldn't yeah so there's so many

00:05:47.520 conditions that have to be met uh the mahar has to be paid all those things has to be put in place

00:05:51.720 a lot of scholars now have said it's not permissible even in the west for muslim men even if those

00:05:56.920 conditions are met to marry a christian or jewish woman for the messa that could create it could

00:06:02.080 create so for example if children are born in that family they're more likely to be so like for the

00:06:07.700 religion so even there's so many conditions let's suppose they can let's suppose they can i'm just

00:06:12.280 saying that is let's put that let's put the hukum in front of everyone so they can see that it's not a

00:06:17.600 simple thing number one the article argued that a woman can marry a non-muslim man now this has never

00:06:24.160 been said by anyone in islam and it's refuted by the quran there's two parts of the quran i want to

00:06:28.100 kind of mention here there's one in surah al-baqarah where it says that and don't let yeah the

00:06:34.620 disbelieve the believing women marry the uh basically the mushrikeen hata yu'minu

00:06:41.740 and he says that a slave a muslim slave is better than a non-muslim uh person in marriage even if

00:06:53.280 the person who's not muslim likes you this has not been abrogated as it relates to women the only

00:06:57.800 uh tahsis or uh what do you call it specification that's been made in regards to men which we

00:07:03.040 already discussed is mentioned in surah al-ma'idah so you can marry jews and christian that's one

00:07:07.720 number two in surah it says don't bring them back because there were more women that came

00:07:12.860 yeah from uh from mecca to medina who left them yeah so it says don't let them go back to their

00:07:18.780 to the men there because they're not halal for them and they're not they are not halal for them

00:07:26.440 and they're not for halal for them in other words there's clear injunctions in the quranic discourse

00:07:30.720 yeah that woman muslim woman is not allowed to marry anything but a muslim man for you to say

00:07:36.920 actually the equality premise overrides this is kufr it is kufr it is disbelief

00:07:43.100 no no no hold on let's be very clear this is kufr it's disbelief yeah so for someone to say

00:07:48.900 something like that it is disbelief now it does not mean that if someone does disbelief yes that

00:07:55.420 they become a disbeliever because we as muslims believe in the concept of that you have an excuse

00:08:02.400 with ignorance yeah so we would never say that dina tokyo or her husband or the sister who actually

00:08:09.080 wrote this article yeah look that's that's discussable that's arguable i haven't i haven't

00:08:12.880 seen what she believes anywhere else but i'm not saying dina tokyo or her husband are kufr we're not

00:08:18.620 saying that yeah but theoretically there's a difference between ta'seel al-hukum and tenzeel

00:08:24.200 al-hukum the actual theoretical stance of it islamically speaking is kufr just like someone

00:08:30.700 says that there's no five prayers a day so there's no five prayers a day in islam they have committed

00:08:34.960 kufr now they have to have iqamat al-hujjah which is what we're doing right now let's not be around

00:08:39.260 the bush what we're doing is we're hoping that this message gets to dina it's called iqamat al-hujjah

00:08:44.520 we've given her the verses in the quran there is no nesk there's no abrogation of those and there

00:08:49.520 is no scholar that has ever said what she's said and now she's given this girl who to be honest

00:08:53.960 with you has an untrained hand in philosophy theology and religion to make up a little blog

00:09:00.540 and i spoke to this very sister i messaged her because just to make the matters clear i spoke

00:09:06.000 to and i said sister the sister that wrote the article yeah okay i said do you have any evidence

00:09:10.680 from the quran and the sunnah of what you're saying she said no she's because this is my

00:09:14.380 subjective opinions yeah and i've got the message i can show i'm not i'm not gonna do that though yeah

00:09:18.180 and this sister had a very dangerous post where she's got two men kissing yeah and she's saying

00:09:24.160 basically that um i support lgbt whatever it is um love is love etc now she said that and saying like

00:09:31.060 she supports the act of homosexuality yes okay yes that's kufr as well yes it's very dangerous yeah

00:09:36.360 now we're not saying she was like oh what do you want me to do be harsh on the of the people

00:09:40.540 and said i never asked you to do that we never said go and be harsh we're seeing at least hold

00:09:44.680 the principle that you hate it in your heart the sin the sin yeah so i spoke to her and yeah

00:09:50.360 sadly she had very ill manners she was talking that she has a problem with a certain youtuber

00:09:53.960 and she was complaining of his ill manners and she goes i hate him yeah i said okay you hate him but

00:09:59.380 you're you're you're you're the way you're treating the way she was talking she's mocking me

00:10:03.440 etc i excused her yeah she has no evidence nothing it was just based on this is how she's not a

00:10:09.280 special is she a specialist no has she got qualifications at theology at all so why is

00:10:12.940 oh here's the thing though let's ali i don't understand why someone like dina tokyo yeah who

00:10:18.580 i would have thought is quite an educated person yeah because i've heard that she's an educated

00:10:22.060 person she she's an educated person she's a social influencer why is she sharing a blog or a vlog

00:10:28.280 or whatever it may have been it's a blog isn't it because it's written i'm not sure if she did

00:10:31.120 anything videographic on that yeah but why is she sharing that blog yeah with someone who's a

00:10:35.860 non-specialist yeah non-theologian non-scholar unless you agree with it no no no obviously she

00:10:42.440 agrees with me yeah totally that's that's no doubt she's taking it down now no no i would have thought

00:10:46.000 that she would have consulted some kind of some kind of scholarly resources here and that's the

00:10:50.400 thing man to be honest with you i'm going to be straightforward with you people like dina tokyo

00:10:54.400 whose claim to fame was what was it like hijab tutorials and makeup and these things

00:10:59.120 please ladies and gentlemen yeah and this goes for us as well everyone must know their lane yeah if

00:11:05.660 someone comes out as a sport critic don't expect from that sport critic to be able to guide you in

00:11:10.820 matters to do with religion or theology or philosophy or whatever yeah just because you have a following

00:11:15.760 it doesn't mean you have to give your opinions on everything that's as simple as that and don't don't

00:11:19.660 push your opinion especially if it's completely unjustified from a from a theological perspective

00:11:24.880 on the people yeah we're not going to accept that and you know what you're making was haram

00:11:28.440 and this is i'm very thankful that you brought that up because this is very thank you for bringing

00:11:32.280 that up yeah this issue of istihlal is is what makes kufr because why is it kufr yeah so someone

00:11:38.000 might ask you how why is it disbelief the quran it says in chapter number nine verse number 31

00:11:43.860 about the jews and the christians yeah it says they took their priests and the rabbis as gods

00:11:53.040 beside god now yeah adi ibn hatim who's one of the sahaba who became muslim he was exactly a christian

00:11:58.880 before he came to him the prophet he said how am i doing this he goes christians are not actually

00:12:03.060 taking their priests and their rabbis as god and jews are not taking their rabbis as god he said

00:12:06.800 did they not make halal while allah make haram yes or did not allah make haram did they not make

00:12:12.920 haram while allah made halal so this is called istihlal yeah basically when you know there's a

00:12:17.220 hukum there's a ruling and then you go against that ruling even though the ruling is very very clear

00:12:22.340 there is no room for interpretation in that particular ruling there are some rulings let's be frank that

00:12:27.380 there is room for interpretation there is scope for interpretation that has to be done by a qualified

00:12:31.840 person yeah no problem but here we're talking about some opinion that can never ever be had because

00:12:36.020 there's no way the text can justify it yeah okay you've got one minute 40 seconds all right so let

00:12:40.540 me just finish on by saying yeah this is why it's kofa we have to the thing is look i want to make one

00:12:45.020 final point because one of the things that the article writer wrote she wrote that we through reason

00:12:51.020 yeah through reason we we we can accept and reject laws basically is what she was saying this is by the

00:12:57.120 way look people need to understand the limits of reason from a philosophical perspective yeah the the limits

00:13:03.820 of reason are we use our reason to give certain people's authority for example i'll give you a

00:13:08.720 very clear example we we use our reason to go to the doctor we then ask the doctor to help us

00:13:13.940 understand what our problems are by giving them our for example our symptoms and then they give us

00:13:19.100 prescriptions yeah so we use our reason to go to the doctor we don't use our reason to know what the

00:13:25.240 doctor is going to prescribe for us yeah likewise we use our reason to arrive at islam yeah but we

00:13:30.400 don't use our reason to dictate or to reject the laws of islam exactly because that is the equivalent

00:13:35.960 of you saying i know more than the lawmaker and the prescribed thing the doctor gives you might not

00:13:40.060 make sense to you there and then exactly but that just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't

00:13:43.920 mean there is no wisdom behind it we say allah has a higher method because a doctor can make a

00:13:48.400 mistake but the all knowledgeable one can't make a mistake okay let me finish off by saying this then

00:13:52.280 i say look i think it's high time since since deena tokyo and her husband are starting to make

00:13:56.720 religious arguments here and the elephant in the room seems to be conservative islam orthodox islam

00:14:02.380 traditionalist islam scripturalist islam which we kind of you can say on a popular level represent

00:14:08.940 i invite both deena tokyo and sid to a public conversation where we can flesh out these matters

00:14:15.700 yeah talk about them publicly yeah and look if you don't want to have this conversation then that

00:14:20.360 defies the very premise of reason because you're not happy you're not happy to get your um to your

00:14:25.460 theological and philosophical arguments critiqued exactly we will talk we will talk you won't have

00:14:29.420 a discussion you know the reason why when i was speaking to the sister who wrote this blog

00:14:32.340 she's saying to me oh um are you i was just requesting i go sister you know you shouldn't

00:14:35.780 put this up she goes are you religiously blackmailing me and i was talking to you well are you religious

00:14:40.240 are you um blackmailing us with your post-colonial uh master's orders these are orders that have been

00:14:45.980 given to you and now you're blackmailing us and saying no this is the best way of life i'm very happy you

00:14:50.520 mentioned that the white the white man i'm not talking in general yeah his way of life is good

00:14:54.640 this is what you're doing with with and a sister dina as well you're pushing that in our throats

00:14:59.280 you're and you're blackmailing us and when we come with the religious guidance or advice we're

00:15:03.920 religiously blackmailing exactly so they they would say is intellect intellectual kind of um terrorism

00:15:09.040 that we're talking to them about yeah but you do that every day but here's the thing they don't

00:15:13.200 realize a lot of these people like deena tokyo etc that they're pushing a narrative as well

00:15:17.500 they're pushing as you mentioned correctly yeah they're pushing a european centric ideological

00:15:23.580 narrative of post-enlightenment era and that is a narrative of feminism of because feminism is a

00:15:29.100 western construct you've got 20 seconds and i've got to finish so what we're saying is that look i

00:15:33.060 don't feel like these people here a lot of them they don't know a the theology be the philosophy

00:15:38.000 a the theology of islam or be the philosophy of feminism liberalism etc so let's have that discussion

00:15:42.580 but just to finish off i would say that just one word the quran says once you've made sense of the

00:15:48.980 fact that god is one and that muhammad is the legislator of allah yeah then submit to the law

00:15:55.540 that's it and lastly brothers and sisters anyone that's watching this if you think you're going to

00:15:59.220 go and do a nikah with some dodgy imam on skype wherever if you're a sister if you're going to go

00:16:05.060 and do that your nikah is not valid you're committing so please don't listen to people who are not qualified be

00:16:10.100 me be anyone and inshallah go back to the people of knowledge as we always do may allah bless you

00:16:14.100 guys from ghana before we finish off get that there's going to be link at the bottom we're here

00:16:18.100 in ghana doing works let's use our platform to do good works we should not talk about these matters

00:16:23.060 let's do that the link's going to be at the link below inshallah let's make things happen

00:16:26.500 let's change people's lives in a good way assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
