00:00:50.460 now i was watching this with my wife last night um and my in-laws and we just wanted to hear out
00:00:56.580 because i heard that you know it's like some kind of racism happened but that's not what i'm going
00:00:59.880 to touch up on as a muslim i found something very interesting as megan was uh walking with uh
00:01:06.320 oprah to the chick uh what's it called the archie's chicken yeah okay so basically archie is their
00:01:13.000 first child and they're going there she said something very interesting and it reminded me of
00:01:16.380 something from the prophetic tradition and as muslims uh when it comes to marriage and i found it very
00:01:21.680 very interesting so here's the video we can't watch the video obviously for copyright but you can
00:01:25.860 hopefully with audio we don't get copyrighted and we're just going to watch that um and i might
00:01:30.380 have to stop it every now and then just due to copyright uh but yeah let's just get straight
00:01:34.140 into it um hopefully if you guys want to watch the full thing go to itv hub and watch it there
00:01:38.240 so here we go zina how's here archie's chicken oh how cute is that she's always wanting chicken
00:01:44.940 but you know i just love rescuing so this is a part of your new life what are you most excited about
00:01:50.500 what are you most excited about in the new life what are you most excited i think just being able
00:01:55.900 to live authentically that's interesting uh as someone that um you know come from the royal family
00:02:03.640 you know for her to express that she just wants to live uh authentically this is very important
00:02:08.660 because she was expressing how she would have to fake for the cameras when they're on smiling and
00:02:12.200 all the stuff she's going through suicidal thoughts but anyways that's very interesting
00:02:15.880 right like this kind of stuff it's so it's so basic but it's really fulfilling and just getting
00:02:22.880 back down to basics and i was thinking about it even our web wow that's amazing getting back down
00:02:27.540 to basics we all want to live that high famous you know want to be famous everyone knows us etc
00:02:32.500 we do not see the dark side to it until you live it and then you realize for yourself
00:02:36.420 um here is where the crux of the matter was for us muslims and for those non-muslims that are
00:02:42.000 watching because of this whole thing um look what she says about her marriage about her wedding day
00:02:46.860 i was thinking about it even our wedding you know three days before our wedding we got married
00:02:52.740 no one knows that but we called the archbishop and we just said look this
00:02:57.380 three days before our wedding we got married this is a prophetic tradition yeah in the christian
00:03:05.660 tradition is usually you get married um you know when this whole big wedding thing happens etc
00:03:11.900 uh islamically we get married with something called nikah so that is when the marriage actually
00:03:18.560 happens the walima which she's talking about after which is the whole big celebration and all that
00:03:23.800 kind of stuff um to announce the marriage which is very important in islam um so it's not keeping
00:03:28.060 hidden you know because a lot of men you know go you know have side tricks and mistress and
00:03:32.260 girlfriends and then try to keep it hidden this against islam that you have to announce it
00:03:35.700 um it's very important so the thing is um and she goes she rang the archbishop which is we can call
00:03:43.260 about an imam which is an imam basically and said look you know we just want something simple let's
00:03:49.380 carry on watching look what she says dang the spectacle is for the world but we want our union between us
00:03:56.500 so like the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the
00:04:00.800 archbishop canterbury and and that was the piece that that is amazing that is so amazing that as
00:04:09.200 muslims there is a lesson to be learned from that because sadly today's time as muslims we are too busy
00:04:15.660 with what people think look what she said that whole big thing and the weather thing that's for the world
00:04:19.980 that's not for us that's very interesting because at today's age a lot of people want to prove things
00:04:26.280 to others yeah it might be your haters you know you want to prove to them yeah look i got married or
00:04:30.760 whatever it may be yeah family members whatever it may be you are too busy and occupied to prove
00:04:35.640 things to others and this makes you unhappy when i was not a muslim and i came to islam before that i
00:04:40.980 was very the same not maybe not with marriage but i was too busy proving myself to others a variety of
00:04:46.940 things and i was like am i really doing this for myself no i'm doing it for others to get their
00:04:50.940 approval who the hell are they you know with all due respect yeah well why do i need to prove
00:04:55.400 myself to them with the things that i'm doing i should do what i want to do and it's so interesting
00:04:59.780 that it was just her uh her husband to be and the archbishop you know now in islam obviously the
00:05:06.340 female leads her guardian yeah um a male member uh to be there at the nikah and two witnesses yeah
00:05:12.140 but still it resonates you get what i'm trying to say and the reason for the guardian is obviously
00:05:15.800 um it's there to protect the rights of a woman uh against predators you know in any way shape or
00:05:21.820 form predators come from different kinds of form they don't come looking evil there could be people
00:05:25.220 that have an agenda so a man knows a man that's why islam god almighty has legislated a man to be
00:05:30.060 the guardian of the woman and not that she's not capable of of course you can choose somebody that
00:05:34.560 she likes but for the man to interrogate that interrogate the guy and to make sure that he's
00:05:38.940 not after the wrong things is the duty of a man that's why allah says they are the protectors and
00:05:42.880 maintainers of a woman alhamdulillah so the thing is i found that very beautiful i found it really
00:05:46.820 amazing and it's a reminder to us as muslims looking at that two christian couple calling the
00:05:52.400 archbishop um um i don't know which archbishop maybe archbishop canterbury i don't know yeah
00:05:56.800 i think i hear that a lot yeah they contacted him and said we want to make this simple me and
00:06:00.880 me and harry and we want to get married i found that really amazing i genuinely found it amazing
00:06:06.260 and coming from a christian couple i think as muslims we should learn a lesson from that brothers and
00:06:12.280 sisters um it's very very important for us to acknowledge this and um re-implement this sunnah
00:06:18.380 because the prophet peace be upon him this is how it was having small simple weddings has barakah
00:06:24.240 when you make things complicated this is where zina comes into it other elements why you know
00:06:29.540 because you want to have a big wedding and the guy has to uh you know make sure he saved up 20 30 40
00:06:34.280 grand and men today are thinking no i'll forget that mate i'm just gonna go and get what i can
00:06:38.460 have in a marriage intimacy and other stuff without doing all of that and that is the reason why a lot
00:06:43.860 of people are moving away from the concept of marriage and falling into sin and that is the
00:06:48.440 reason why the prophet peace be upon him said if a righteous man comes to ask for your daughter's hand
00:06:51.600 and you reject there will be fitna trials in the land uh and subhanallah it reminds me i don't know if
00:06:57.240 man i can't remember but one of the companions came to the prophet peace be upon him and he seemed very
00:07:01.400 like he's come from a place of celebration and the prophet peace be upon him said like what happened
00:07:06.080 he's like i got married note it's so not not how fast the niqai was done because usually the
00:07:12.220 companions would invite the prophet but it happened so fast you know and not like today
00:07:17.800 it's made so difficult in five minutes time two people can get married yeah that's how it takes
00:07:23.760 that's how long it takes for the uh for it to happen it's just because a few words are said
00:07:27.920 you accept marrying her etc and the wedding is done that's how it should be and we've made it so hard
00:07:33.820 for ourselves so watching the megan and harry interview i know it wasn't about this it was more
00:07:38.180 of a bigger picture i might do a reaction to the whole what she went through the racism etc
00:07:42.880 um but i just wanted to do this video to convey to you guys as muslims for us to go back to the
00:07:49.900 tradition of the the prophetic tradition to keep things simple what a beautiful example from harry
00:07:56.340 and megan and we can learn a lesson from that to keep things simple an imam um your you like that
00:08:04.580 person that person likes you your guardian is there alhamdulillah not none of this bookie
00:08:08.800 bloody sky marriages etc here okay your guardian is there and alhamdulillah the nikah is done
00:08:14.080 alhamdulillah you are away from zina and the prophet peace be upon him the companion said this and i'll
00:08:18.600 end on this note that they said oh messenger of allah is it true that we get rewarded by having intimacy
00:08:23.600 with our partners or you know a wife's having intimacy with the husband husband with the wife he said of
00:08:28.940 course you do just as you incur a major sin when you commit zina you get a good deed when you do it
00:08:34.440 the halal way and they found that amazing so uh zina in an actual means uh having sex outside of
00:08:39.660 marriage so brothers and sisters uh that's about it i just wanted to share that video with you guys i
00:08:43.800 find it very fascinating you can watch the whole interview uh but i think that's it i don't think
00:08:47.160 they say anything else let's see just the three of us that's it guys till next time
