00:00:00.000 Sabeel udmooi, sabeel murihtana, hedayaa asahhi, kai tastarih
00:00:11.000 Okay, Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends, welcome to another episode of Ask the Shaykh, I'm Iwushaq Hatham, may Allah bless him, Shaykh, how are you doing?
00:00:25.700 Alhamdulillah, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
00:00:28.180 May Allah bless you, Shaykh
00:00:29.220 Okay, Shaykh, today's topic is going to be about voting, Shaykh, who I'm going to do is, I'm going to play devil's advocate, so don't be upset with me, I'm just going to do my job
00:00:38.400 I've never been upset with you, I've never been upset with anyone, inshaAllah, may Allah bless you
00:00:42.780 Unless someone, do something that is really, may Allah bless you, forgive everyone, that's a good trait, it reminds me of this
00:00:53.640 Yes, walham sabara wa ghafara, inna thalika min asimil umur, Allah jala'ala, praise those who have sabar and those who forgive others
00:01:00.820 Yeah, so it's a good reminder for us to forgive and forget, inshaAllah
00:01:03.580 Okay, Shaykh, now, general elections come in, what's your views? We know your views before was that you said it's permissible
00:01:11.740 Yeah, has your views changed? Yeah
00:01:13.460 If it hasn't, Shaykh, now a lot of people are asking, where are you getting this from? This voting, you know, in the lands of the non-Muslims, you know, they don't implement the Sharia
00:01:21.580 Yeah
00:01:22.020 So, Shaykh, where are you getting this from? Is it from the Qur'an or Sunnah? Can you elaborate so people can understand and have this misconception answered? Should they vote? Should they not vote? Is it kufr to do so or not?
00:01:32.520 Yeah
00:01:32.680 If you can elaborate, please, Shaykh
00:01:33.740 Yeah
00:01:33.940 Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahman ar-Rahman
00:01:35.080 Alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salam ala rasulillah
00:01:36.620 Actually, okay, maybe to the surprise of most of the people watching, I have changed my view
00:01:44.180 Okay, all right
00:01:45.320 Yeah
00:01:46.060 Yeah
00:01:46.380 And instead of saying that it is permissible or it is important to vote, I am saying now it is almost obligatory to vote
00:01:56.600 You always surprise me, I was beginning to say, don't vote
00:02:04.460 No, seriously
00:02:05.800 Seriously, I, internally, but I don't want to make this as a big issue, internally, I believe that we must vote
00:02:14.760 Voting for the coming general election is obligatory
00:02:18.880 Okay, so before you
00:02:19.560 But I don't want brothers to just argue over it is obligatory or not, nearly obligatory
00:02:25.380 You can say
00:02:26.100 Yeah
00:02:26.420 Like this
00:02:27.320 So, you've actually become more staunch on your
00:02:29.320 Yes, without a shadow of a doubt
00:02:30.940 Can we, can we ask why?
00:02:32.920 Huh? Why not?
00:02:35.300 Why, but where is the evidence, Shaykh, that
00:02:37.600 Like, you become, it was like you're staunch now, but why?
00:02:42.140 Yeah, see, first of all
00:02:43.880 Yeah
00:02:44.200 Okay, let us take it step by step
00:02:46.260 We don't need an evidence to say that something is permissible
00:02:50.660 Okay
00:02:51.620 Yeah
00:02:52.420 Because this is the general ruling, apart from issues of ibadah
00:02:56.500 Okay
00:02:56.920 And kafarat
00:02:57.840 Yes
00:02:58.660 What's kafarat, Shaykh?
00:02:59.620 Kafarat expiations
00:03:00.940 Expiations
00:03:01.760 Yes, and punishments
00:03:02.680 Okay
00:03:03.220 Yeah
00:03:03.400 These are ta'abudi matters
00:03:05.000 You can't introduce any punishment in Islam
00:03:08.960 Any kafarat, expiations
00:03:10.680 You cannot introduce any ibadah
00:03:12.600 Yeah
00:03:12.840 Yes
00:03:13.360 Unless there is a clear delil
00:03:15.140 Not only delil, that the scholars have accepted that
00:03:18.740 So matters of ibadah, expiations, punishment
00:03:21.460 Yeah
00:03:21.760 And maybe some other small things
00:03:23.620 Okay
00:03:23.840 Yeah
00:03:24.240 These matters are haram and to proven halal
00:03:25.860 Yes
00:03:26.280 But
00:03:26.600 You cannot introduce something
00:03:28.120 You cannot introduce something to it
00:03:28.920 Yes
00:03:29.160 However, the other aspects of our life
00:03:31.220 Yeah
00:03:31.480 For example, if i wanted to
00:03:33.460 Yeah, wearing this color, wearing these trousers that, okay
00:03:36.720 Casual trousers that, okay, you are wearing
00:03:39.280 Okay
00:03:39.960 It's a haram
00:03:40.920 Yeah
00:03:41.240 It's halal
00:03:41.840 Okay
00:03:42.160 Unto proven otherwise
00:03:43.020 Yes, we don't need to say that
00:03:44.900 Okay
00:03:45.540 What is the delil for that?
00:03:47.240 Otherwise, it will be horrible
00:03:48.720 What is the delil that you can sit like this?
00:03:50.720 Which is the delil that you can wear this kind of socks?
00:03:53.480 What is the delil that you can run this country in this way?
00:03:56.840 Which is the delil that you have in the government ministry?
00:03:59.160 Of religious affairs
00:04:00.740 What is the delil that you have a foreign minister?
00:04:03.820 What is the delil that you have?
00:04:05.080 You will go crazy
00:04:05.920 Yes
00:04:06.240 So on these matters of aspects of our life
00:04:07.980 Everything is halal
00:04:09.140 Yes
00:04:09.560 Unto proven haram
00:04:10.740 Yes
00:04:11.260 So we're very clear on that matter
00:04:12.720 Okay
00:04:13.000 Okay
00:04:13.380 But how does this relate to voting?
00:04:14.720 And by the way, some people now, they say
00:04:17.880 And by the way, what is the delil?
00:04:21.040 Okay, for that, that everything is halal
00:04:23.220 Yes
00:04:23.460 Allah Jalla A'ala says
00:04:24.480 He is the delil that you have in the earth
00:04:26.900 Okay, he is the delil that you have in the earth
00:04:28.700 Taskhir
00:04:29.340 Okay, many verses that he made Taskhir
00:04:32.760 Yani he has given you what is on earth
00:04:35.500 He made it okay for you
00:04:37.660 Halal
00:04:38.400 Okay
00:04:38.900 You take it
00:04:40.060 That's why all scholars agreed upon this
00:04:42.180 Now there are some brothers
00:04:43.920 Some group of brothers who say
00:04:45.620 No, we don't say that everything is permissible
00:04:48.000 We say that everything is according to Shara
00:04:50.400 We say, yeah, everything is according to Shara
00:04:52.840 And the Shara is the one who told us
00:04:55.400 A matter, any matter apart from ibadat and kafarat and punishment
00:05:00.840 Is permissible
00:05:01.960 So this is what Sharia said
00:05:03.440 Okay
00:05:03.760 So we're not just introducing this out of nowhere
00:05:06.020 So once they say that, no
00:05:07.900 We should say everything is according to Sharia
00:05:10.440 Yes, everything is according to Sharia
00:05:12.100 Same thing
00:05:13.020 Just different wording
00:05:13.680 Exactly
00:05:14.280 Just extra stress in your head for no reason
00:05:15.980 Yes, okay
00:05:16.780 And this is a matter that all scholars agreed upon
00:05:20.500 Okay
00:05:20.840 Yeah, all scholars agreed upon
00:05:23.120 Yeah, okay
00:05:24.060 There is no scholar who said, no
00:05:26.280 In matters related to how you live
00:05:28.960 How you conduct your
00:05:30.040 How you build your buildings
00:05:31.420 How you run politics
00:05:32.540 No, it's haram, it's haram, it's haram
00:05:34.820 Okay, unless it is proven that it is halal
00:05:37.100 No one said this
00:05:37.940 Okay, that's clear
00:05:38.560 Okay, and this gives Islam its dynamic nature
00:05:41.920 Yeah
00:05:43.060 Yeah
00:05:43.420 Because it can move
00:05:44.920 It can be adopted in any society
00:05:47.060 In any context
00:05:48.080 In any time
00:05:48.800 In any place
00:05:49.440 And not only that it can be adopted
00:05:51.640 It can flourish
00:05:53.160 Okay, but can't we say, Sheikh
00:05:54.480 Because things change
00:05:55.720 Okay
00:05:56.260 Yes, of course
00:05:56.880 Social life, it changes
00:05:58.640 Economic life, it changes
00:06:00.800 Political life, it changes
00:06:02.520 Yeah
00:06:02.980 The world changes
00:06:03.880 The world changes
00:06:05.040 Yeah
00:06:05.440 Okay, the world changes
00:06:06.760 Sorry, the world changes
00:06:07.840 So, therefore
00:06:09.540 Islam, okay
00:06:12.120 Came to govern everything
00:06:14.940 Yes
00:06:15.840 In our life
00:06:16.780 Every aspect of our life
00:06:18.560 And therefore
00:06:19.540 It has to have that nature
00:06:21.340 Okay
00:06:21.760 So, but can't some people say
00:06:23.220 I don't understand
00:06:23.760 Voting is a form of ibadah
00:06:25.700 Because it's the law of Allah
00:06:26.640 That we're
00:06:27.020 Yeah
00:06:27.220 Can we not say that?
00:06:28.080 No, we can't say that
00:06:29.240 Okay
00:06:29.420 This is, listen
00:06:30.140 Those brothers who say that
00:06:31.880 Voting is a form of ibadah
00:06:33.420 They are miskin
00:06:34.040 You know what is miskin?
00:06:35.420 There are so many brothers
00:06:36.540 By the way, Ali
00:06:37.360 And don't be one of them
00:06:38.640 Okay
00:06:39.100 They knew certain words
00:06:41.840 They have read certain
00:06:43.140 Books from here and there
00:06:44.860 And they think that
00:06:45.540 They know everything
00:06:46.400 That's the disease of today
00:06:47.260 Yes
00:06:47.640 That is the disease
00:06:48.460 And I always say to brothers
00:06:49.980 Ya Habibi
00:06:50.800 Yeah
00:06:51.100 Ya Habibi means love
00:06:53.120 Yeah
00:06:53.340 Okay
00:06:53.860 See
00:06:54.780 If you read a book
00:06:56.500 How to run a heart operation
00:06:59.620 Okay
00:07:00.080 Are you qualified to have a heart operation?
00:07:02.680 Not at all
00:07:03.160 Even if I read that book for 20 years
00:07:04.600 Why?
00:07:05.280 Because I've read and understood
00:07:06.900 But I haven't physically had the experience
00:07:09.820 Exactly
00:07:10.540 You need many, a number of aspects
00:07:12.680 And I need a time frame
00:07:14.220 Exactly
00:07:14.700 To know
00:07:15.600 Okay, this is how it works
00:07:16.800 I made this mistake
00:07:17.540 Now I learned not to do that
00:07:18.640 Yes
00:07:18.980 So this shows not only knowledge
00:07:20.860 But hikmah
00:07:21.880 Ahsan
00:07:22.300 And experience
00:07:23.380 And experience
00:07:23.880 And also practical experience
00:07:26.020 Because practical
00:07:26.880 Like what we say
00:07:28.000 If you read 10 books
00:07:29.220 20 books
00:07:30.040 Yes
00:07:30.300 100 books
00:07:31.040 How to drive a car
00:07:31.940 Will you be able to drive the car?
00:07:33.660 No
00:07:33.800 That's why we know
00:07:34.860 We have theory test and practice
00:07:36.900 Yes
00:07:37.160 Okay
00:07:38.320 Yes
00:07:38.680 Now what is practice
00:07:40.900 Is transferring theory into what?
00:07:43.840 So basically
00:07:44.220 You need that
00:07:45.800 And a hidden element
00:07:48.000 Of transferring theory into practice
00:07:50.200 Is the confidence
00:07:51.500 So can we say
00:07:53.520 Executing that
00:07:54.460 Knowing how to execute that knowledge
00:07:55.700 In the right time
00:07:56.240 In the right place
00:07:56.860 Exactly
00:07:57.460 Okay
00:07:57.780 Yes
00:07:58.260 So that
00:07:59.040 Needs so many things
00:08:00.420 It's not just
00:08:01.100 Oh look
00:08:01.540 This is the book
00:08:02.400 What it says
00:08:02.960 That book
00:08:03.500 It says this
00:08:04.220 Et cetera
00:08:04.640 This is
00:08:05.720 This is a very simplistic way
00:08:08.380 Yeah
00:08:08.900 And it makes the person laughable at
00:08:11.060 Yes
00:08:11.420 Anyway
00:08:11.800 So please brothers
00:08:14.000 Don't do this
00:08:15.060 Otherwise people will laugh at you
00:08:16.540 Yes
00:08:16.760 Okay
00:08:17.180 Now
00:08:19.440 Now
00:08:19.940 The issue is
00:08:21.900 This is
00:08:23.700 In terms of voting
00:08:25.680 The minimum to say
00:08:26.780 That it is something
00:08:27.840 That is related to the
00:08:29.640 Normal life
00:08:30.860 Yeah
00:08:31.380 You need to prove
00:08:32.980 That it is haram
00:08:34.000 In order to say
00:08:35.280 Okay
00:08:35.620 That it is haram
00:08:37.040 So the burden of proof
00:08:37.820 Is on the people
00:08:38.440 Who are saying
00:08:38.840 Is haram
00:08:39.160 Exactly
00:08:39.440 Not the other way around
00:08:40.380 Not the other way around
00:08:41.220 Okay
00:08:41.480 That's interesting
00:08:42.220 Yeah
00:08:42.460 Okay
00:08:42.840 But if it is permissible
00:08:44.480 Then if that permissible act
00:08:47.680 Yes
00:08:48.760 Leads to something
00:08:50.240 That is mandatory
00:08:51.360 Yeah
00:08:52.440 Then it becomes mandatory
00:08:53.720 So how does it become mandatory
00:08:54.940 How does it become mandatory
00:08:55.780 Okay
00:08:56.000 So for example
00:08:57.520 Going to the masjid
00:09:00.560 Praying in jamaah
00:09:02.040 According to one view
00:09:03.680 That it is what
00:09:04.440 Mandatory
00:09:05.040 Yes
00:09:05.500 So walking towards that
00:09:07.380 Becomes what
00:09:08.600 Mandatory
00:09:09.200 Mandatory
00:09:09.780 Yes
00:09:10.180 Okay
00:09:11.660 Yes
00:09:12.020 Now
00:09:12.780 Supporting your family
00:09:15.040 Is mandatory
00:09:16.080 You cannot let them
00:09:17.660 Beg people
00:09:18.440 Yes
00:09:18.840 So working for
00:09:19.900 Six, seven hours
00:09:20.940 Etc
00:09:21.320 In order to support them
00:09:22.820 In order to
00:09:23.880 To earn money
00:09:24.840 To support them
00:09:25.480 Becomes what
00:09:26.200 Mandatory
00:09:27.080 Mandatory as well
00:09:28.140 Yes
00:09:28.420 Okay
00:09:28.880 So
00:09:29.820 Now
00:09:30.860 In many cases
00:09:32.800 Okay
00:09:33.200 Fixing the situation
00:09:34.580 Of the ummah
00:09:35.460 Minimizing the evil
00:09:37.200 Increasing the goodness
00:09:38.980 Yeah
00:09:39.480 Yeah
00:09:39.800 Have a better situation
00:09:41.660 For us
00:09:42.420 Yeah
00:09:42.880 This is generally speaking
00:09:44.300 Is mandatory
00:09:45.080 Is wajib upon us
00:09:46.540 To improve our situation
00:09:48.000 As muslims
00:09:48.760 Yeah
00:09:48.920 Whether in the uk
00:09:49.740 The west
00:09:50.440 In general
00:09:51.320 In the whole globe
00:09:52.220 Yeah
00:09:52.700 Yes
00:09:53.540 Yes
00:09:53.920 And
00:09:54.920 Okay
00:09:56.360 There are
00:09:57.960 Briefly
00:09:59.160 Two ways
00:09:59.960 To do that

00:10:39.760 I don't know
00:10:40.580 After giving da'wah

00:10:52.940 In the UK
00:10:53.820 All people became Muslims
00:10:55.340 So what's the aim of giving da'wah?
00:10:57.060 Is that what you're trying to say?
00:10:57.900 No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:10:58.780 I'm not talking about what's the aim

00:11:08.760 Still they have to sell a tali
00:11:10.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:11:11.340 Because what are they going to live under?
00:11:13.120 Yes
00:11:13.300 What system?
00:11:14.000 They have to have a system
00:11:14.980 This system is a political system
00:11:17.680 Yeah
00:11:17.940 As simple as this
00:11:20.940 Yeah
00:11:21.360 So they have to have what?
00:11:23.140 To have
00:11:23.560 To select a leader
00:11:24.540 Selecting a leader is voting
00:11:26.260 Yes
00:11:27.680 Okay
00:11:29.260 They have to select a law
00:11:31.020 Yeah
00:11:32.220 Even when they want
00:11:33.580 Imagine we were giving da'wah da'wah da'wah
00:11:35.940 Everyone became Muslim
00:11:37.620 Yeah
00:11:38.300 Now those Muslims
00:11:40.040 They want to change the law
00:11:42.400 How are they going to change the law?
00:11:45.840 Well
00:11:46.320 They have to have a leader
00:11:47.860 They have to have a leader

00:11:50.680 They have to have
00:11:51.420 They have to be what?
00:11:53.480 Engaged in the political process
00:11:55.400 Yes
00:11:55.720 Okay
00:11:57.380 Yeah
00:11:58.100 Otherwise the system will not change
00:12:00.780 It will not just all of a sudden
00:12:03.200 What is written as a law
00:12:04.700 It will all of a sudden
00:12:05.640 Just change
00:12:06.620 Yeah, yeah
00:12:07.120 The people will change it
00:12:08.480 Okay

00:12:29.180 Did you understand what I have said?
00:12:30.780 Yes
00:12:30.900 No, what you're saying is that
00:12:31.620 At the end
00:12:33.760 Forget about the delil
00:12:35.560 As I told you
00:12:36.320 Yes
00:12:36.580 We don't need the delil for these things
00:12:38.220 Okay
00:12:38.480 I'm just saying that
00:12:41.040 From a common sense
00:12:42.320 Yes
00:12:42.740 Doing da'wah, da'wah, da'wah
00:12:43.980 Okay
00:12:44.540 After that
00:12:45.400 Yeah
00:12:45.840 Then what?
00:12:46.800 Then what?
00:12:47.300 Exactly

00:12:48.380 You have to have a system
00:12:49.840 You have to select a leader
00:12:50.940 You have to have ministers
00:12:51.960 You have to have
00:12:52.660 Okay
00:12:53.240 A body
00:12:55.180 Even, even
00:12:56.020 Gradual
00:12:56.420 Yes
00:12:56.880 Those changes have to happen
00:12:57.720 But gradually
00:12:58.220 Gradually
00:12:59.660 I'm not talking about gradual
00:13:01.180 I'm talking about
00:13:01.900 What is the next step?
00:13:03.020 Exactly
00:13:03.360 Yeah
00:13:03.620 The next step is political system

00:13:10.100 Yeah
00:13:10.420 The system we want

00:13:16.860 Selecting a law
00:13:17.920 Yeah

00:13:23.120 Okay

00:13:44.240 They are the disbelievers
00:13:52.060 And they quote these ayat
00:13:53.560 In order to
00:13:54.540 Religiously blackmail

00:14:15.740 You have to be involved
00:14:17.520 In order to change it
00:14:18.600 First of all
00:14:19.360 Generally speaking
00:14:20.380 Yes

00:14:44.560 It is already there
00:14:45.540 Yeah
00:14:45.880 You can't say that
00:14:46.600 That this is a democratic system
00:14:48.180 We have parties
00:14:49.520 You vote for parties
00:14:50.900 The party that wins the election

00:15:10.540 It is already there
00:15:12.340 Yeah

00:15:17.760 Selecting
00:15:19.160 Which party
00:15:20.200 Is going to help the Muslims
00:15:22.000 Forget about helping
00:15:23.420 Okay
00:15:23.700 It is
00:15:24.400 A matter of selecting
00:15:26.100 Which is the party

00:15:29.380 As a human being
00:15:30.800 Yeah
00:15:31.820 If you don't select the party
00:15:33.700 Someone else will select

00:15:37.260 Agree or not
00:15:38.360 Yes, it's true
00:15:38.980 And there's a lot of races

00:15:51.300 If you don't vote
00:15:52.240 Yeah
00:15:52.880 Does that mean
00:15:54.100 That the political system
00:15:55.460 Will collapse

00:16:49.000 It is already there
00:16:50.020 The system is already there
00:16:51.060 It's about how to
00:16:51.560 Use that maneuver
00:16:52.400 Okay

00:16:55.300 That I want to select
00:16:57.020 This
00:16:57.420 Instead of this
00:16:58.520 Instead of you select for me

00:18:17.020 Here as well
00:18:17.500 It is not just like
00:18:18.260 A personal offense
00:18:18.940 Exactly
00:18:19.400 For your religion
00:18:20.060 For your religion
00:18:20.840 For the community
00:18:21.580 For everything
00:18:22.260 Yes
00:18:22.560 Yeah
00:18:23.040 And we know
00:18:23.980 Okay
00:18:24.760 We have seen
00:18:26.020 When the Tory party
00:18:28.060 Was okay
00:18:29.100 In control
00:18:29.880 We as Muslims
00:18:31.540 Okay
00:18:32.100 In some areas
00:18:33.320 Suffered
00:18:33.800 Yeah
00:18:34.360 Or when certain
00:18:35.620 Prime ministers
00:18:36.260 Were in power
00:18:37.080 We suffered
00:18:37.960 Yes
00:18:38.380 Agree or not
00:18:39.280 And then we were
00:18:40.120 Complaining
00:18:40.660 Other than prime ministers
00:18:42.920 When there were
00:18:44.140 Some ministers
00:18:45.820 In some positions
00:18:46.980 I don't want to
00:18:48.160 Name certain people
00:18:49.620 We were suffering
00:18:51.140 And we wish
00:18:52.220 If that person
00:18:53.360 Was to be removed
00:18:54.760 Agree or not
00:18:55.860 Yes of course
00:18:56.380 Not only us
00:18:57.040 But the foreign policy
00:18:58.340 Exactly
00:18:59.000 Our brothers and sisters
00:19:00.320 Yes
00:19:00.940 Okay
00:19:01.640 So we wish
00:19:02.520 If that person
00:19:03.120 Is removed
00:19:03.620 Yes
00:19:03.920 How are we going
00:19:04.760 To remove him
00:19:05.460 Or her
00:19:06.760 By voting
00:19:07.680 By her voting
00:19:08.780 Okay
00:19:09.540 By selecting
00:19:10.720 The best choice
00:19:11.700 Yeah
00:19:12.020 So therefore
00:19:13.700 Therefore
00:19:14.620 From this angle
00:19:15.620 It becomes
00:19:16.220 Obligatory upon us
00:19:17.520 To vote
00:19:17.980 In order to
00:19:19.060 Maximize the good
00:19:20.040 And to minimize
00:19:20.800 The
00:19:21.100 Okay
00:19:22.200 The bad
00:19:23.040 Or the evil
00:19:24.180 As simple as this
00:19:26.000 That's it
00:19:26.440 Shaykh
00:19:26.720 Yeah
00:19:27.140 Yeah
00:19:27.960 It is
00:19:28.520 Some brothers
00:19:30.120 Are quoting Quran
00:19:31.040 From here and there
00:19:31.880 And there
00:19:32.180 And there
00:19:32.920 It is not a matter
00:19:34.400 Of Quran
00:19:34.840 I can't quote
00:19:36.080 The entire Quran
00:19:37.000 But what is the meaning
00:19:38.660 What is the relevance
00:19:39.600 Of what you are calling
00:19:40.500 Into this situation
00:19:42.560 Do you even understand
00:19:43.320 What you are quoting
00:19:43.840 Yes
00:19:44.380 Do you even speak Arabic
00:19:45.200 To understand what you are quoting
00:19:45.960 Okay
00:19:46.180 Even if they understand
00:19:47.700 But you can quote
00:19:49.140 From here and there
00:19:50.460 Because yes
00:19:51.240 Then you apply it wrongly
00:19:52.580 You understand it wrongly
00:19:53.700 You apply it wrongly
00:19:54.520 Yes
00:19:54.680 What we say
00:19:55.320 Voting is a matter of selection
00:19:57.160 Okay
00:19:57.680 Forget about this
00:19:58.700 The matter is clear
00:19:59.880 Inshallah
00:20:00.260 So that's why
00:20:01.400 I believe that
00:20:02.260 It is nearly
00:20:03.260 Obligatory
00:20:04.060 Okay
00:20:04.420 To vote in the coming election
