00:00:00.000 Misguided people on YouTube, the likes of Ali Dara, the likes of 0.99
00:00:04.440 These are some of the drinks in my fridge guys, just some of them subhanAllah that we drink 0.99
00:00:10.260 Along water and many other things, many fruits to pick from, many foods to eat from subhanAllah
00:00:14.700 What about the people who are starving in Gaza, all around the world, who do not have food to eat
00:00:18.700 How can we make these drinks, these foods go down our throat, knowing that they are starving
00:00:22.160 I am working with the One Omar charity for their food project guys
00:00:24.720 And they are a 100% donation policy charity
00:00:27.200 I know the brothers who run the charity and I have full trust in them
00:00:31.020 The Prophet peace be upon him said, the Muslim is not the one, when his neighbour is hungry, his stomach is full 0.59
00:00:36.280 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:00:39.320 Hope you guys are well inshallah
00:00:40.100 So this video is, I wouldn't say a response video, but a video that I'm going to react to
00:00:45.360 Which was directed to myself, pertaining to being labelled as a Wahhabi, as a Jahil
00:00:53.180 Misguided people on YouTube, the likes of Ali Dara 1.00
00:00:57.000 To be honest, I wasn't really offended by being called a Jahil or a Wahhabi
00:01:01.180 I've been called, you know, many things
00:01:02.840 I've been called a Mushrik, a Spy, a Mubtadi
00:01:04.740 Many things have been called to me
00:01:06.340 So I don't really, that doesn't really bother me
00:01:07.760 But I was actually more offended that I was put in the same category of another brother
00:01:11.940 That really actually got to me more
00:01:13.720 Now, obviously this message is to Sheikh Asar Rashid
00:01:16.380 I'm calling him a Sheikh because he's senior in knowledge and he's senior in age 0.63
00:01:20.420 And I have respect for him
00:01:21.860 Having respect for him does not mean that, you know, like I have some kind of fear against him
00:01:28.420 Or, you know, for that matter
00:01:29.540 But just something that I wanted to point out
00:01:31.760 Because as you guys know, for the past, I would say, seven months
00:01:35.580 Since the October attacks that happened, subhanAllah 0.99
00:01:40.060 What's going on in Palestine to our brothers and sisters
00:01:41.940 I thought it was very important and paramount for us to talk about this
00:01:45.140 Why? Because I've seen a pattern
00:01:46.880 Not that I've been following Sheikh Asar Rashid
00:01:49.500 But I've seen this pattern where he's continuously putting people on the spot
00:01:54.600 I don't know if this is all, like, arranged prior
00:01:58.080 Is it happening on the spot? I don't know
00:01:59.580 But for some odd reason, there's always a cameraman
00:02:01.460 So one thing happened that I saw of a video of him in a wedding
00:02:06.040 It's a wedding offer
00:02:34.140 Just imagine there is a wedding, you are invited to this wedding
00:02:36.920 And in this wedding, you choose to have a creedal discussion with somebody
00:02:41.080 And you put the camera on him
00:02:42.260 And now you're trying to stick it on him
00:02:44.080 And I thought to myself, it seemed a little bit odd
00:02:46.800 It seemed a bit like, why would one find the need to do that in a wedding, out of everywhere
00:02:51.100 Wedding is somewhere you come, you celebrate, you congratulate, you eat food
00:02:55.100 You have a good time
00:02:55.820 But to use that opportunity and have a dedicated cameraman there who's recording
00:03:00.200 And the audio seemed quite good, so it seems like, you know, everything was organized
00:03:04.100 You know, premeditated
00:03:04.980 I found that a bit strange, but I thought, let it be
00:03:08.540 But one thing that, another thing that happened that kind of bothered me
00:03:12.780 Was when our brother Muhammad Hijab 0.53
00:03:14.620 Obviously, which is from our religion
00:03:17.340 We know from the evidence from Hilf al-Fudul 0.92
00:03:18.720 The Prophet, peace be upon him, when he came together with the Mushrikeen 1.00
00:03:20.700 About a man who was oppressed
00:03:21.980 We know in Surah Maida, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
00:03:23.880 Wa ta'awana al-birru wa taqwa
00:03:25.360 That come together towards righteousness
00:03:27.580 And if you guys remember, an attack happened in a Shia, I don't know, slash Rafida mosque
00:03:33.220 Where an individual tried to run over a group of Shia Muslims
00:03:37.340 And we went there with myself, Mohammed and Sheikh Uthman, Sheikh Abu Safiya
00:03:41.700 And we went there to address it and say this was wrong
00:03:44.660 Because the person who's attacking them did not say this is a Shia or this is a Muslim
00:03:47.940 This is Sunni, this is this or this is that 0.97
00:03:49.800 He was attacking Muslims
00:03:51.380 We went and spoke out against it
00:03:53.220 So Mohammed Hijab was obviously invited to an event
00:03:55.580 And rightly so 0.71
00:03:56.600 And we fully support him
00:03:58.000 Not that he needs our support or not
00:03:59.640 But it is pertaining to our brothers and sisters in Palestine
00:04:02.020 And what's going on there
00:04:02.940 I was gobsmacked
00:04:04.340 Like I was shocked
00:04:05.380 And to see someone like yourself, Sheikh Hasrar 0.99
00:04:08.960 Of your, you know, your age, your knowledge
00:04:12.100 The way you conduct yourself
00:04:14.200 To stick it on Mohammed Hijab 1.00
00:04:16.600 On the spot, on stage
00:04:18.480 Wahhabi positions in the past
00:04:20.260 But he doesn't have any Wahhabi positions
00:04:22.140 Yes
00:04:23.440 And if he has any association with any Wahhabi
00:04:30.360 He corrects them
00:04:31.760 That's the case, yes
00:04:33.500 He corrects those guys
00:04:36.120 That say things that they should not say
00:04:38.440 And try to, you know, I don't know what you did
00:04:56.660 Maybe you had to prove a point to
00:04:58.000 Maybe your audience
00:05:00.120 I don't know
00:05:00.600 But to put him in such an uncomfortable position
00:05:03.560 And say
00:05:04.020 Oh, you know, by the way
00:05:05.000 Hijab is not a Wahhabi
00:05:05.980 Or by the way
00:05:06.680 Hijab is a Sufi 1.00
00:05:07.480 Or by the way
00:05:08.140 Hijab 0.93
00:05:08.380 And I was thinking to myself
00:05:09.940 Subhanallah
00:05:10.440 This is an event
00:05:11.660 Pertaining not to ourselves
00:05:13.800 Because
00:05:14.800 It's a selfish act to do
00:05:16.920 By going there
00:05:17.740 And talking about something
00:05:19.240 A creedal issue that we have
00:05:21.140 Our position is very clear
00:05:22.460 Yes
00:05:23.100 I'm Mohammed Ali Athari
00:05:24.620 I follow Ibn Taymiyyah's view 0.99
00:05:26.040 I am proud of it
00:05:27.300 Wallahi
00:05:27.700 I am outright proud of it
00:05:29.200 I have
00:05:29.540 I'm not sugar coating it
00:05:31.220 Fully, fully
00:05:32.420 Follow Ibn Taymiyyah
00:05:33.380 Now the point is this
00:05:34.960 That 0.96
00:05:35.900 You go and stick it on him 0.88
00:05:37.480 On stage
00:05:38.000 And Wallahi
00:05:38.380 Let me be honest
00:05:38.940 I know Mohammed Hijab 1.00
00:05:40.300 He's my brother
00:05:40.820 I know him very closely
00:05:42.000 Alhamdulillah
00:05:42.320 He can lose his call
00:05:43.880 He can sometimes
00:05:45.240 Have a temperament
00:05:46.260 But
00:05:47.040 I was amazed and astonished
00:05:49.060 That he bit his tongue
00:05:50.860 Because he could have come and said
00:05:51.620 Hold on a second
00:05:52.140 You know
00:05:52.440 When I was looking at his facial
00:05:54.460 I was looking at Hijab's face 1.00
00:05:55.780 When he was making these remarks
00:05:56.880 Yeah
00:05:57.180 The fact that he
00:05:59.020 Did something that I would have
00:06:00.500 Expect you to do
00:06:01.580 Amazed me
00:06:02.480 Why?
00:06:03.080 Because he understood
00:06:04.280 That the objective of the event
00:06:05.900 Was there for our brothers
00:06:06.840 And sisters in Palestine
00:06:07.800 That are being massacred
00:06:08.980 You know that?
00:06:10.020 I know that
00:06:10.760 So he bit his tongue
00:06:12.340 So much so
00:06:13.800 At the cost
00:06:15.000 Of many people
00:06:16.420 Who are coming and saying
00:06:17.180 Oh is Hijab a Sufi now 1.00
00:06:18.380 This
00:06:18.540 Irrelevant
00:06:19.760 Because the cause was greater
00:06:21.440 Than Hijab's honor
00:06:22.860 Or his reputation
00:06:23.660 It was about our brothers
00:06:25.500 And sisters in Palestine
00:06:26.420 So I admire that in him
00:06:28.880 And I've told this to his face
00:06:30.760 Now the point is the following
00:06:32.380 Why is there a reoccurring pattern?
00:06:34.980 Because now
00:06:35.560 They are about to attack Rafah
00:06:37.120 Or they are attacking Rafah
00:06:38.380 We have non-Muslims 1.00
00:06:40.200 Who are on the streets protesting
00:06:41.880 In university campuses
00:06:43.440 All around the world
00:06:44.360 And then
00:06:45.560 We have yourself
00:06:46.580 Who is senior knowledge
00:06:47.600 Senior in age
00:06:48.780 Doing a video
00:06:49.860 Calling me a Wahhabi
00:06:50.840 Calling me a Jahil 0.95
00:06:51.600 Look
00:06:52.020 Those words don't mean nothing to me
00:06:54.160 Genuinely I've been called far worse
00:06:57.280 Far far worse
00:06:58.260 I've been accused with far far worse
00:06:59.940 The point is this though
00:07:01.380 Why are you
00:07:03.200 I don't want to use the word obsessed
00:07:04.980 But why is there
00:07:05.880 This
00:07:06.560 This pattern of
00:07:09.180 Trying to call us out
00:07:10.960 We are proud
00:07:12.080 Humbly atharis
00:07:12.800 We follow Ibn Taymiyyah's view 0.99
00:07:14.240 It's as simple as that
00:07:15.860 You have your
00:07:16.840 Viewpoint
00:07:17.740 Let's agree to disagree
00:07:19.020 Especially when the situation
00:07:21.100 Is so dire
00:07:22.020 When people are being massacred
00:07:23.580 And kids are being blown into pieces
00:07:25.040 Why did you find the need
00:07:27.040 To come out once again
00:07:29.080 First it was the wedding
00:07:30.600 And these are the ones that we know of
00:07:32.420 Then it was Muhammad Ijab on stage
00:07:33.760 Then you come to me
00:07:35.260 Then you come for me
00:07:36.300 I'm just saying
00:07:37.680 Please
00:07:38.460 For the sake of Allah
00:07:39.260 You had your debate with
00:07:41.060 Ustaz Abdul Rahman Hassan
00:07:42.020 You saw it
00:07:42.980 People can watch it
00:07:43.580 And make the decision for their self
00:07:44.920 We are not going to go into that
00:07:46.760 Because I'm not going to make this a video
00:07:47.960 Where I don't want you to
00:07:49.560 Look genuinely
00:07:50.240 I don't want you to get triggered
00:07:51.060 And make a response
00:07:51.840 It's up to you
00:07:52.780 All I'm just saying is
00:07:53.680 Can we please
00:07:54.580 Come together
00:07:55.640 On this issue
00:07:56.680 That is pertaining to our brothers and sisters
00:07:58.180 And end this
00:07:59.580 Back and forth
00:08:00.780 And there is not a back and forth anyways
00:08:02.500 But what I'm saying is
00:08:03.520 Please
00:08:03.960 For the sake of Allah
00:08:04.940 Subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:08:05.500 With what's going on with the Ummah 0.99
00:08:07.080 Inshallah
00:08:07.400 Let's put an end to this
00:08:09.100 Please stop doing videos
00:08:11.040 You can do it
00:08:11.980 Let the situation of our brothers
00:08:13.380 There is a ceasefire
00:08:14.280 And we can stop the bloodshed
00:08:16.180 Inshallah
00:08:16.560 Then you want to do 50 videos about me
00:08:18.880 That's fine
00:08:19.520 You can do it
00:08:20.400 Back and forth
00:08:21.120 That's fine
00:08:21.940 But right now is not the time
00:08:23.660 That's all I want to say
00:08:24.900 I wanted to go into more details
00:08:26.700 I don't want to
00:08:27.580 Because I don't want this to
00:08:28.780 Turn into a debate
00:08:30.080 Etc
00:08:30.440 And like I said before
00:08:31.560 The minimum that I would say
00:08:32.800 Out of what I wanted to say
00:08:34.200 Was
00:08:34.700 And I'll repeat it again
00:08:35.700 I'm a hamali
00:08:36.700 Athari
00:08:37.420 And I follow Ibn Taymih's view 0.99
00:08:38.600 And I am absolutely proud of it
00:08:40.760 I am proud of it
00:08:42.460 And that's all I want to say
00:08:43.700 Inshallah
00:08:44.060 May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 1.00
00:08:45.820 Guide you and guide myself
00:08:47.060 And one thing
00:08:47.820 Allah says in the Quran
00:08:48.620 For example
00:08:49.260 Why do you say something
00:08:50.480 That you do not do
00:08:51.500 Now Asra Rashid
00:08:52.820 Shaykh Asra Rashid
00:08:53.500 You talk about unity
00:08:54.920 Unity
00:08:55.360 Unity
00:08:55.760 But you are the same person
00:08:57.500 Sadly causing this unity
00:08:59.360 Yani you come and talk about 0.99
00:09:01.000 This creed of matters
00:09:01.680 That will be discussed
00:09:02.420 For hours on end
00:09:03.360 So you are calling for unity
00:09:05.460 But your actions
00:09:06.780 Are showing this unity
00:09:07.720 So we're seeing actions
00:09:09.320 Speak louder than words
00:09:10.320 So please
00:09:11.100 If you want to see unity
00:09:13.300 Then enact it
00:09:14.620 Let's see it in your actions
00:09:15.860 Not only just your words
00:09:17.020 So please
00:09:18.240 I'm urging you once again
00:09:19.560 Not the time
00:09:20.740 Not the place
00:09:21.420 To have this unity now
00:09:22.840 Let's unite on something
00:09:24.420 That we all at least agree on
00:09:26.260 Which is that
00:09:27.620 Allah says
00:09:28.160 If you save one soul
00:09:29.100 He says if you save the whole of humanity
00:09:30.280 Let's come together
00:09:31.540 For that cause
00:09:32.460 For our Palestinian brothers and sisters
00:09:34.040 Inshallah
00:09:34.800 And end this
00:09:36.100 Bickering
00:09:36.840 Once and for all
00:09:38.060 That's all I'm going to say
00:09:40.460 Inshallah
00:09:40.740 Let's focus
00:09:41.760 In helping our brothers and sisters
00:09:42.960 Inshallah
00:09:43.340 And this video
00:09:44.340 Of our brothers and sisters
00:09:44.780 Is sponsored by
00:09:45.800 One Umar 0.98
00:09:46.600 What they're doing
00:09:47.320 The work they're doing
00:09:48.360 On the ground
00:09:49.160 In Palestine
00:09:50.000 So please please
00:09:51.120 Let's use this energy
00:09:52.100 Whichever background you're from
00:09:53.740 Ashari
00:09:54.480 Bralvi
00:09:54.980 Sunni
00:09:55.520 Salafi
00:09:56.500 You want to name
00:09:57.340 Whatever it is
00:09:57.980 Donate
00:09:58.820 For the sake of Allah
00:09:59.440 So that at least this video
00:10:01.440 Brings us together
00:10:02.720 For the Palestinian cause
00:10:04.220 Then rather dividing us
00:10:05.480 That's all I wanted to say
00:10:06.540 Assalamualaikum
00:10:07.380 Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
00:10:09.120 We'll see you next video
