00:00:00.000 Have you got their hands on their hands?
00:00:03.100 Okay, that's a good point.
00:00:04.840 Let's see.
00:00:17.960 We've created mankind weak.
00:00:20.260 What happens is, Aki, we think that the cure is in the one reciting the Quran. 0.75
00:00:24.720 We think the cure is in the one that's making the dua.
00:00:27.160 So, this is dangerous ground because what's happening is, they're holding their heads.
00:00:32.220 Okay, I don't know if that's from the sunnah.
00:00:48.320 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:51.300 Welcome to another video.
00:00:52.420 Before I start, I want to praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the most merciful, the most just.
00:00:57.440 All praises, glory and gratitude belong to him for the works that we do.
00:01:00.420 I'm here with Muhammad Hijab.
00:01:02.300 As-salamu alaykum.
00:01:02.820 As-salam.
00:01:03.380 You alright?
00:01:03.980 You alright?
00:01:04.520 Yeah.
00:01:05.120 Wake up, please, because, you know, every time you do a video with me, you're flipping, sleeping.
00:01:08.460 And I see an insult to someone like me with the subscriber base that I have.
00:01:11.480 Oh yeah, let's congratulate you for having, what is it, half a million subscribers now?
00:01:17.200 Yes, man.
00:01:19.620 I thought you were going to shake, man.
00:01:21.580 I thought you were going to shake, man.
00:01:22.580 Yeah, yeah, just wake up, please.
00:01:23.540 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:24.100 I'm awake, I'm awake.
00:01:25.000 Because, you know, in the last video, he was like, huh?
00:01:29.460 Anyway, so, bro, since today we're going to be reacting to something important, so we came together, actually.
00:01:33.740 Well, Muhammad Hijab messaged me on WhatsApp, he said, I'm going to see Brother Zeeshan.
00:01:36.100 As usual, he's a regular here, I'm not.
00:01:37.940 And I thought, you know, it'll be nice to see the brothers, it's been a long time.
00:01:39.860 Came here, I got some nice baklava, and we had some tea over it.
00:01:43.180 And it's always good to have the champ-chump connection.
00:01:46.160 Yes. 0.89
00:01:47.960 Zeeshan's a champ and I'm the chump. 0.77
00:01:49.640 Yes. 0.78
00:01:51.740 Nah.
00:01:53.540 So in my country, they say, eat sweet and talk sweet.
00:01:56.580 I personally believe, we're not here to mock anybody, we're not here to talk about specific groups or sex.
00:02:00.380 We just genuinely want to understand what's the logic behind what's about to happen.
00:02:04.660 So he's called the choo-choo peer, if I'm not mistaken, or choo-choo, I don't know, yeah? 0.81
00:02:09.940 Okay.
00:02:24.180 Have you got their hands on their hands?
00:02:27.280 Okay, that's a good point.
00:02:28.480 So, they've got, okay, they've got their hands like this, yeah?
00:02:34.020 Yeah.
00:02:34.880 From what I was told, correct me, correct me if I'm wrong, but the choo-choo, the thing that he's doing, I don't know if it's a vibration, I don't know if it's a dua, I don't know if it's the wind, but it's to receive it.
00:02:46.800 Okay.
00:02:47.220 I don't know, I don't know, it's some kind of ritual, like, I don't know, they're all doing it.
00:02:50.340 Listen. 0.75
00:02:52.900 This guy's definition of destroying the whole disclaimer of when they're here to ridiculous.
00:03:22.180 That's funny, man.
00:03:33.460 That's my attack.
00:03:35.080 Okay, let's just see, okay.
00:03:36.420 I'm sorry, it is funny.
00:03:47.440 I'm so sorry, but let's carry on, yeah?
00:03:48.560 Now, guys, I'm so sorry, yeah?
00:04:05.920 If they're doing it watching this and thinking that what just happened now contradicts our statement, it doesn't.
00:04:10.240 Because we're not here to mock, but it's funny. 0.88
00:04:14.900 No, it's ridiculous. 0.98
00:04:16.860 Like, genuinely, brother says, what are you? 0.99
00:04:18.520 It's ridiculous. 0.98
00:04:19.740 And you know what's really funny? 0.98
00:04:20.760 You know what's really funny?
00:04:21.740 This is not in Pakistan.
00:04:23.220 This is not in South.
00:04:25.320 It's not India. 0.99
00:04:31.000 It's not Bangladesh. 0.89
00:04:37.320 It's dying, brother.
00:04:39.160 It's dying, brother.
00:04:40.380 I think Corona thing, brother.
00:04:43.040 Enough, brother.
00:04:43.700 This guy's doing chuchu.
00:04:44.500 You're doing chuchu in my face, brother. 0.99
00:04:45.600 This is in North, uh, UK.
00:04:50.860 It's north of, uh, the country.
00:04:55.440 Guys, this is north of the country, yeah?
00:04:57.120 Okay.
00:04:57.780 This is happening in Britain, in the West, in 2018 or 2019, guys.
00:05:03.860 Can you believe that a group of people, I don't even know if they paid to go to the hall, yeah?
00:05:07.260 I won't be surprised if they had tickets being sold, yeah?
00:05:10.080 And you've got people living in Britain, in the West.
00:05:13.100 It doesn't matter.
00:05:13.680 I'm not trying to say the West is some place in enlightenment.
00:05:15.340 I'm just saying, come on.
00:05:17.060 And they've got their hands on their head.
00:05:18.640 These are uncles, aunties, young people, yeah?
00:05:21.880 Desperate people there.
00:05:23.100 And this guy is there rolling his test feet and doing chuchu, chuchu, yeah?
00:05:28.360 Look, let's carry on watching.
00:05:29.540 Let's carry on watching.
00:05:30.540 Look.
00:05:31.040 Now, look.
00:05:32.220 He's doing some kind of action.
00:05:33.720 I don't know if that's from the sunnah of getting the beads together, stopping, blowing.
00:05:38.120 Okay, let's suppose argument's sake, yeah?
00:05:39.440 He's doing it.
00:05:39.960 He's reading the dua and he's blowing it on there, okay?
00:05:43.320 The question that needs to be asked is the following, yeah?
00:05:45.080 Because with these kind of things, when it happens, you need to understand, as human beings, we are weak, okay?
00:05:49.780 Now, in my culture, in my family, like I said before, what they do is, they get coffee, they drink it, they turn it upside down, wait for a little bit, turn it, and see animals and say,
00:05:58.900 Oh, you're going to get married, that's going to happen, blah, blah, blah, blah, yeah?
00:06:01.660 Now, most of the times, there is a saying in Turkish, yeah?
00:06:03.780 They say, don't believe, it's called fal, fal means fortune telling.
00:06:07.740 Don't believe in the fortune telling, but don't go without it.
00:06:10.720 So, I'll repeat again.
00:06:11.840 Don't believe the fortune telling, but don't go without it.
00:06:15.760 Now, what that means is, in a sense, don't believe it, but there's no harm in looking at it.
00:06:21.340 Now, what happens is, let's put ourselves in a situation, okay?
00:06:24.680 Because in this situation, you're either going to laugh or cry at the matter.
00:06:27.020 I'll be honest, it's a crying matter or a laughing matter.
00:06:30.180 We're laughing because it's sad to see the state of desperate people who might have marriage issues, family might have disease, or whatever it may be, and they're in a desperate situation.
00:06:39.720 Now, if you go to this guy, and we know, for example, from the Quran, where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says there are jinns who go to the certain heavens and try to get information.
00:06:47.380 What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say in the Quran about those jinns that do that?
00:06:51.340 Do they gather that information?
00:06:52.400 Yeah, I would say that these are two separate issues, though.
00:06:57.160 Like, with this, I don't think there's any fortune telling going on.
00:07:00.860 No, but they can be connected.
00:07:01.880 So, okay, let me put it like this, yeah?
00:07:03.160 Innocent boy, who wants, innocent, let's say his sister, yeah?
00:07:05.600 Wants to get married, not working, and you know in today's time, Black Magic, Seher, someone did this, someone did that, da-da-da-da-da. 0.97
00:07:12.020 She goes to this event.
00:07:13.780 And in this event, for example, let's suppose...
00:07:16.400 What, this particular event?
00:07:17.680 Let's suppose any particular event.
00:07:19.580 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:19.900 Any particular event she goes to.
00:07:21.380 Yeah.
00:07:21.580 Or let's suppose she has a pain.
00:07:23.360 I'm just giving arguments, okay?
00:07:24.360 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:24.740 After she attends this event, it stops.
00:07:28.140 What will be the first thing that comes to her mind?
00:07:31.760 What should we be thinking?
00:07:32.580 She'll think that she may attribute that to the thing that happened in the event.
00:07:38.140 Thank you.
00:07:38.420 Now, if she ascribes that to this person, and there's a reoccurrence of things happening, positive things, whenever she visits this specific period or this specific event or this, let's say, wherever they are, yeah?
00:07:49.100 And let's talk about all aspects of life, Christians, Hindus, whoever does this kind of stuff, yeah?
00:07:53.820 If they attend that, where is their iman growing towards?
00:07:58.240 Towards Allah or the individual or the act that's being done? 0.87
00:08:01.380 Well, the act could be attributed.
00:08:05.040 But remember, there could be sunnah acts and there could be acts which are not sunnah, which I think is where the crux of this discussion should be.
00:08:11.720 Because the question here is, is what's happening here in line with the sunnah according to any of the mazahib?
00:08:19.780 Like, if someone is a Hanafi or if someone is a Shafi, if it's a Maliki or Hanbali, from the four schools of Sunni orthodoxy, is this what's going on?
00:08:30.000 Is this detailed in any of the books of fiqh that I should look into?
00:08:34.220 I'll be interested to find such a thing.
00:08:36.280 Like, if there's a narration on such a prayer of blowing, and I would like to see such a narration authentically transmitted from the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
00:08:46.720 But that is why it's important to look at the sunnah through that lens, okay?
00:08:52.480 I mean, there is going to be difference of opinion, but there are things which are outside of the pale of that difference of opinion.
00:08:58.080 That's why it's very important to always, I mean, you don't want to go into extremes with this,
00:09:03.080 but there is a hadith which says that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
00:09:08.360 مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي دِينِنَا هَذَا مَا يَلَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ فَهُوَ عَرَدْتُ
00:09:11.660 Whoever invent into this religion, or to this affair of ours, which is not part of it, then it's rejected, okay? 0.69
00:09:18.940 Like, the du'a that he made at the end, look, I haven't got a problem, du'a is, there's a hadith that says مُخِ الْعِبَادَةُ
00:09:25.420 It's the bone marrow of, if you like, the crux of worship, and that's a weak hadith, and there's a bad hadith,
00:09:32.300 وَهُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ
00:09:33.060 It's the actual ibadah itself, so this is a beneficial thing that's taking place, but what's preceded it is simply something which is unprecedented.
00:09:41.100 But what if, okay, look, one second, hijab, even if we said there's evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, 1.00
00:09:44.420 for example, when it comes to a specific, let's say somebody making du'a for you, yeah?
00:09:47.220 When it's done in a situation where there's a mass gathering, if there's money involved, and there's a issue or a grey area where individuals in there,
00:09:55.980 they might be ignorant, yeah?
00:09:57.740 Yeah, I don't know if there was money involved in that particular gathering. 0.92
00:10:00.180 No, no, no, as far as I know, I was told it was, but I don't know, yeah?
00:10:02.740 I was told that there was money involved, yeah?
00:10:04.560 Okay.
00:10:04.820 Okay, and this person goes around the country.
00:10:06.760 Right.
00:10:07.160 So now I'm saying when money is involved, when people's emotions are involved, when desperation is involved,
00:10:11.480 and now the point is this, let's say it's in the Qur'an, of course someone can make du'a for you.
00:10:15.520 Now, if a person, it's like Rukya, what happens is, anyone can do Rukya, probably you can read the Qur'an on yourself,
00:10:21.420 you can get someone to read it, but why do we go to Raqqis? Why?
00:10:25.180 And doesn't certain Raqqis, which we know, which happened two years ago, manipulating the situation?
00:10:30.280 Some do, some do, not all of them.
00:10:32.520 Of course not, of course not.
00:10:34.040 The point is this, that what happens is, as human beings, we're created weak.
00:10:38.380 Allah says we've created mankind weak. 0.97
00:10:40.520 What happens is, Aki, we think that the cure is in the one we cite in the Qur'an.
00:10:44.720 We think the cure is in the one that's making the du'a. 0.94
00:10:48.000 So this is dangerous ground, because what's happening is, they're holding their heads.
00:10:52.480 Aki, I don't know if that's from the sunnah.
00:10:53.900 It's not from the sunnah.
00:10:54.540 Okay, someone doing the beads.
00:10:55.960 I mean, there's nothing in the sunnah that I've, I'd like to once again see the narrations.
00:11:01.160 Okay, so now with these things, Aki, there's extremes, which you've done a video about on your channel,
00:11:05.140 where there's a naked peer.
00:11:06.180 And he's got people touching him, or you've got another person, they're bowing down to him.
00:11:11.340 Which you can check that in Muhammad, Brother Muhammad Hijaf's channel, Brother and Sisters.
00:11:13.980 This is dangerous.
00:11:15.960 And what we're just seeing is, look, put us to a side.
00:11:18.680 Yeah.
00:11:18.880 You can call us Wahhabi, whatever you want to call it.
00:11:21.520 Logically, brothers and sisters.
00:11:22.400 No, it's not, I don't even think this is a matter of Wahhabism, or Salafism, or Diobandism.
00:11:28.680 I think this is just about Sunni orthodoxy.
00:11:31.600 Exactly.
00:11:32.080 Going back to the form of Ahib. 0.89
00:11:34.200 Exactly.
00:11:34.680 So I would say, what advice would you give to someone?
00:11:36.720 Because look, I've been in situations, maybe you've been in situations, where Aki, I was in desperation.
00:11:40.840 There's been situations where I thought, I have no way to go out.
00:11:43.420 And I'm speaking to brothers who have been in similar situations, where they would end up,
00:11:47.160 because they're in such a desperate situation, they would go to individuals.
00:11:49.640 And these individuals would say, okay, take this, dig this there, put this to this tree,
00:11:53.700 read this.
00:11:54.620 And because you're in such a desperate situation, you're not there.
00:11:57.640 It's like you're a person that's under the influence.
00:12:00.020 And what happens, brothers and sisters, in this desperate situation, is the very moment
00:12:03.380 that your tawheed should really shine.
00:12:05.500 And your trust in Allah should really, really, your tawakkal in Allah should be seen.
00:12:09.560 What happens is, in the desperate situation, people tend to go to these people.
00:12:12.820 And I know a brother who said, I paid thousands of pounds.
00:12:15.580 To these people who have told me, go to the air, do this, you'll get this person back.
00:12:19.640 Or da, da, da.
00:12:20.680 What advice would you give to people like that?
00:12:22.320 In those desperate situations, where they're thinking, you know what?
00:12:24.980 Because as human beings, Aki, we like to see.
00:12:27.180 That's why a lot of people are inclined to shirk.
00:12:28.820 Why?
00:12:29.200 Because it's the object that they can see, touch, and feel.
00:12:31.560 Yes.
00:12:31.860 With Allah, and the reward for Jannah is why? 0.99
00:12:33.640 Because you believe in Him when you don't see Him.
00:12:35.360 And just to be clear, we're not saying that shirk took place in that video.
00:12:37.800 No, we didn't.
00:12:38.100 We're just saying that.
00:12:38.940 I don't think there's evidence that any shirk took place in that video.
00:12:42.220 Unless something has been said in Urdu that I don't know what's being said.
00:12:44.800 No, I was talking about your channel.
00:12:45.560 Yeah, yeah.
00:12:45.840 Just to make that clear, right?
00:12:47.240 But I think what I would say, look, there's two things you need to be very clear of.
00:12:52.840 That there's, in Islam, there is a direct relationship between man, woman, on the one hand, and God on the other.
00:13:00.680 Right?
00:13:01.620 The Quran says,
00:13:02.440 You alone we worship, and you alone we ask for help.
00:13:06.680 And that is in the second person.
00:13:07.860 So you're speaking to Allah directly. 0.63
00:13:09.880 And this is something we have to recite 17 times a day at least.
00:13:13.340 Which means that we have a direct connection of Allah.
00:13:15.920 And you can make dua to Allah yourself. 0.88
00:13:19.160 You don't need any intermediary, or anybody, or any human being, or any wise person, or guru, or shirk, or peer, or whatever it is to do that.
00:13:29.180 You can make dua to Allah yourself. 0.96
00:13:31.780 Number two is, make sure that what you're doing, the action that you are performing, is in line with Sunni orthodoxy, as per any of the madhahib.
00:13:42.420 No, I'm not saying, oh, you have to be this madhahib, or that madhahib, or follow this shirk, or that shirk. 0.90
00:13:46.920 Any of the madhahib, which are bona fide and legitimized in the Sunni school of thought, follow those. 0.69
00:13:54.160 But make sure that you're not going overboard.
00:13:57.460 Because if it's something which has not been done, or spoken of, by the scholars of Islam for 1,400 years, and it's just something that you're doing, it's gimmicky, and it's new, and it's innovative.
00:14:09.360 Then it has nothing to do with the Sunni of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
00:14:12.500 And in fact, it is an invention, or an innovation into the religion.
00:14:16.120 And so there is something called bid'ah in the religion.
00:14:18.180 The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would say this every time he would ascend the pulpit, the minbar.
00:14:27.100 He would mention the bid'ah, which is an innovation into the religion.
00:14:31.960 So we don't want to fall into those innovations, okay?
00:14:34.640 But we don't want to label everything, and everybody as innovators, and everything as innovation.
00:14:38.280 But we don't want to fall into the innovation as well.
00:14:40.220 These kind of actions give birth to the other extreme.
00:14:42.940 So, brothers and sisters, look, I'll tell you personally, I'll talk from personal experience.
00:14:46.180 I've been in situations, I've needed specific du'as to be answered.
00:14:50.120 And I could have easily, brothers and sisters, go and be like, okay, yeah, let me go to this bid.
00:14:54.100 Because you're in a vulnerable position.
00:14:55.240 I've been there.
00:14:56.040 I know friends around me who've been in that situation.
00:14:58.560 But having firmness, sticking to Tawheed, knowing that Allah, look, you need to understand something. 0.59
00:15:03.740 The one who's created the heavens and the earth.
00:15:05.780 Wallahi, look, I'm telling you, those who have marriage problems, those who want to get married,
00:15:09.440 those who have illnesses, those who have whatever problems you have.
00:15:12.680 The one who's created the heavens and the earth.
00:15:14.180 Do you really think it's hard for Allah to answer your du'a?
00:15:16.920 No, it's not.
00:15:17.700 But Allah is going to put you through certain tests and trials.
00:15:21.260 Wallahi, Allah will answer your du'a. 0.92
00:15:23.780 Sometimes question yourself.
00:15:24.940 Is it my sins?
00:15:25.980 Is it certain things I'm doing?
00:15:27.480 Question yourself sometimes.
00:15:28.700 And this is the things that I did.
00:15:29.660 I reflected, okay, my du'a is not being answered.
00:15:32.040 Can Allah answer my du'a? 0.96
00:15:33.040 Yes.
00:15:33.580 Does he exist?
00:15:34.300 Yes.
00:15:35.260 The question is, there is something that I'm missing here.
00:15:38.220 Do not spoil that by going to people, whoever they may be, whichever group they're from,
00:15:44.000 and think, okay, this person can help me.
00:15:46.640 Never.
00:15:47.380 What advice I'm giving to you from personal experiences?
00:15:50.040 Wallahi, Allah answered my du'a.
00:15:51.600 Wallahi, billahi, billahi, billahi, Allah answered my du'a.
00:15:54.060 And I find the faults in myself and fix those faults.
00:15:57.860 And once you fix your affairs with Allah, Allah will fix your affairs with the people. 0.99
00:16:01.220 So a reminder from this video, besides the whole thing that we think it's wrong,
00:16:06.260 is the fact that I have trust in Allah.
00:16:08.620 You can worship Him alone.
00:16:09.540 You don't need to go to some Christian priest and confess your sins.
00:16:13.000 You don't need to go to some rabbi and please, please.
00:16:16.060 And this is a good point because just on this,
00:16:18.760 like especially where money is involved in the equation,
00:16:21.620 this was one of the main reasons Protestantism in the 16th century actually became very popular.
00:16:28.240 Yeah, there's things called indulgences that Catholic priests would do.
00:16:32.580 So people would go to Catholic priests and they would pay them money to basically forgive their sins and so on.
00:16:37.520 And this actually continues to this day.
00:16:39.240 These so-called indulgences, it continues to this day.
00:16:41.640 And that was one of the points that Protestant reformers said,
00:16:45.720 look what corruption is going on in the church,
00:16:47.800 which made people leave Catholicism.
00:16:51.000 And not only this, but in the modern age, it's making Catholics leave religion altogether.
00:16:57.380 And this is what the prophet said, and it's very important.
00:16:59.240 He told us that you will follow the path of the Jews and the Christians,
00:17:05.260 even so that if a lizard goes into a hole, you go into it like the lizard.
00:17:11.960 In other words, we are going to follow the destructive path of the previous dispensations. 0.67
00:17:16.840 And what I'm saying to you guys is that this is clearly, if not religious fraud, 0.82
00:17:25.340 if you want to put it that way, or it's a scandal really in the religious community of Islam.
00:17:30.200 It will at least lead to that if it's not that itself.
00:17:32.800 Exactly.
00:17:33.160 You know, so, you know, when it comes to money, people come over here.
00:17:36.900 And I'm not saying everything that's a religious service should be free.
00:17:40.980 That's not true, Aiva.
00:17:41.760 That's not true.
00:17:42.680 If someone's teaching Quran, we're not saying that they shouldn't be able to charge for that.
00:17:46.740 Or Rukhya even. 0.96
00:17:47.740 We're not saying there's no situation where money should be exchanged.
00:17:50.360 Or hijama, or any of those things, teaching.
00:17:53.800 But what we are saying is that if someone claims to give you curing ability,
00:17:58.220 that's only from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:18:00.040 And the Quran is a shifa, is a cure itself. 1.00
00:18:03.060 Okay, the Quran calls itself a shifa, which is a cure. 1.00
00:18:06.440 Exactly.
00:18:06.860 And your connection of Allah is direct.
00:18:08.560 You don't require any human being on the face of the earth in order to trespass,
00:18:14.340 in order to go through as an intermediary to get to Allah.
00:18:18.160 Exactly.
00:18:18.480 I promise this will end on that note, inshallah.
00:18:19.880 Do not forget to check Muhammad Ijah's video on a naked peer.
00:18:24.020 And we'll find out why he's naked.
00:18:26.240 Until next time.
00:18:27.300 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
