00:00:43.320 Do not forget,

00:00:45.640 for people in Yemen,

00:00:46.740 Afghanistan,

00:00:47.400 Syria,

00:00:48.240 and different places,

00:00:49.380 brothers and sisters.

00:00:49.640 Please give to that.

00:00:50.780 Let's get straight into the topic,

00:00:51.800 inshallah,

00:00:52.060 brothers and sisters.

00:00:53.740 As you guys know,

00:00:54.580 there's been some controversy

00:00:55.700 regarding Mufti Menk,

00:00:58.340 and I just wanted to bring some light to it,

00:01:02.280 shed some light to it.

00:01:03.140 Now, look,

00:01:04.200 I'm not,

00:01:04.760 I'm not Amir Mu'minin of the Ummah.

00:01:07.140 I'm not somebody that needs to do videos like this.

00:01:09.000 I don't find the need to do it.

00:01:10.360 I don't look forward to doing it.

00:01:11.800 I really don't even have time to do it.

00:01:13.580 I'll be honest with you.

00:01:14.640 So,

00:01:15.100 I don't want people to think,

00:01:15.940 you know,

00:01:16.080 I'm just jumping on bandwagons,

00:01:18.080 et cetera,

00:01:18.900 you know,

00:01:19.320 or just controversial stuff.

00:01:21.340 But,

00:01:21.840 sometimes,

00:01:22.280 when I look at a situation,

00:01:23.580 I hear news,

00:01:24.480 and if it's somebody I know,

00:01:25.380 or I don't know,

00:01:26.580 me personally,

00:01:27.900 I like to defend the honour of any believer,

00:01:29.780 whoever it is.

00:01:31.040 I don't have exclusivity to individuals

00:01:33.100 who I benefit from or not.

00:01:34.920 Okay,

00:01:35.320 I don't work like that.

00:01:36.200 I'm not somebody who's like,

00:01:37.020 okay,

00:01:37.200 I benefit from this person,

00:01:38.700 therefore,

00:01:38.980 let me defend this person.

00:01:40.380 Whoever knows me knows

00:01:41.400 that I don't work like that.

00:01:42.900 I don't care who it is,

00:01:44.080 what it is.

00:01:44.560 I've turned my,

00:01:45.720 I want to say my back,

00:01:46.640 but I've gone against people

00:01:47.560 who had great benefit in my life

00:01:49.220 that I could have benefited financially

00:01:50.480 in many different ways,

00:01:51.520 but when I felt like they were wrong,

00:01:53.060 I had to tell them they're wrong.

00:01:54.040 And even if it came at the cost of me,

00:01:55.400 cost of me losing financial benefits

00:01:57.420 or whatever it may be,

00:01:58.340 I don't really care about that.

00:02:00.240 If somebody is wrong,

00:02:01.040 they're wrong.

00:02:02.020 So,

00:02:02.580 now let's get into this whole matter,

00:02:03.800 guys,

00:02:04.000 yeah?

00:02:04.180 I'm going to be talking about

00:02:05.300 things that have been taken out of context,

00:02:09.140 then we'll look at it in context,

00:02:10.660 and then we're going to look at it

00:02:11.900 from our context.

00:02:13.080 What do I mean by that?

00:02:14.240 Now,

00:02:14.540 guys,

00:02:15.480 as we know,

00:02:16.300 Al Jazeera has made headlines

00:02:19.060 about Mufti Meng

00:02:19.840 that he himself

00:02:21.440 was sitting down

00:02:23.400 with a rabbi

00:02:24.780 who was pro-Zionist.

00:02:26.640 That's pro-Zionist.

00:02:27.780 Yeah,

00:02:27.900 we know exactly what that means.

00:02:29.420 You know,

00:02:29.700 these child killers.

00:02:30.920 Yeah,

00:02:31.040 that's what they are.

00:02:31.740 Baby killers.

00:02:32.460 You know what I mean?

00:02:33.700 Land stealers.

00:02:34.860 You know,

00:02:35.200 and the list goes on.

00:02:36.100 You know,

00:02:36.220 in an apartheid state

00:02:37.060 that they're pushing forward to.

00:02:38.880 So,

00:02:39.400 you know how it is.

00:02:40.380 You know,

00:02:40.580 you've seen our campaigns last year

00:02:41.820 after they killed

00:02:42.900 66 innocent children.

00:02:45.080 So,

00:02:45.600 the thing is now,

00:02:46.440 they've made it as if

00:02:47.520 Mufti Meng

00:02:48.640 has gone there

00:02:50.380 willingly,

00:02:52.000 knowingly,

00:02:52.980 participating

00:02:53.620 with an individual

00:02:55.320 who is pro-Zionist.

00:02:57.440 Now,

00:02:58.080 this is out of context

00:02:59.760 because I

00:03:01.600 have spoken to

00:03:02.520 Brother Dili,

00:03:03.120 may Allah bless him,

00:03:04.020 from Five Pillars,

00:03:04.640 which I'm going to come to later.

00:03:05.840 I've spoken to Mufti Meng.

00:03:07.460 I've read the articles.

00:03:09.220 I've asked some

00:03:10.220 really direct questions

00:03:11.160 to Mufti Meng myself.

00:03:12.360 May Allah bless him.

00:03:13.360 You know,

00:03:13.580 because I wanted clarifications

00:03:14.600 for myself as well.

00:03:15.880 You know,

00:03:16.240 I'm not just going to

00:03:17.080 jump on something.

00:03:18.320 I just,

00:03:18.540 I want to know.

00:03:19.400 I have direct contact.

00:03:20.580 I'm going to do that.

00:03:21.720 So,

00:03:22.100 it is very,

00:03:23.020 very clear,

00:03:23.620 guys,

00:03:24.220 that it is

00:03:25.080 out of context.

00:03:27.300 So,

00:03:27.640 Al Jazeera

00:03:28.080 made a headline

00:03:29.540 which is

00:03:30.320 out of context.

00:03:31.860 Okay.

00:03:32.700 Now,

00:03:33.360 let's come to

00:03:34.200 what is in context.

00:03:36.340 Now,

00:03:36.620 guys,

00:03:36.840 there's only one part

00:03:38.400 of the picture used

00:03:39.300 where Mufti Meng

00:03:40.500 is sitting next to the rabbi.

00:03:42.320 Now,

00:03:42.560 from that,

00:03:43.480 it does look like

00:03:44.860 he's gone there.

00:03:46.220 What excuse could there be?

00:03:48.060 Now,

00:03:48.420 when you look at other pictures

00:03:49.360 and videos,

00:03:50.160 guys,

00:03:50.400 you will realize

00:03:51.020 that there was hundreds,

00:03:52.060 if not thousands,

00:03:52.660 of people there,

00:03:53.540 which I have confirmed.

00:03:55.080 And on the left-hand side

00:03:56.920 of Mufti Meng,

00:03:57.660 there is a Sikh man

00:03:58.860 with a turban sitting there.

00:04:00.280 There was also Christians.

00:04:02.140 There was also Hindus

00:04:03.080 and other religious groups there.

00:04:05.080 So,

00:04:05.940 we need to make something

00:04:06.720 very,

00:04:07.280 very clear.

00:04:09.400 And I asked this

00:04:10.180 to Mufti Meng myself.

00:04:11.320 I said,

00:04:11.780 Mufti,

00:04:12.220 was you aware

00:04:13.160 that this person

00:04:14.620 was there

00:04:16.060 or was going to be there

00:04:16.980 or was you invited for this?

00:04:18.740 Specifically,

00:04:19.260 like,

00:04:21.720 you know,

00:04:22.380 we are trying to normalize

00:04:24.060 affairs with

00:04:24.740 Zionists

00:04:26.180 or Israel

00:04:27.180 and we want you to come.

00:04:28.240 Okay.

00:04:28.760 Now,

00:04:29.200 he said it very categorically

00:04:30.220 in his video himself

00:04:30.980 that no,

00:04:32.260 he didn't know.

00:04:33.660 He did not know, guys.

00:04:35.800 So,

00:04:36.040 now,

00:04:36.180 one thing that we need to bear

00:04:36.940 in context is the following.

00:04:37.940 Okay.

00:04:38.360 We can say,

00:04:39.260 you know what,

00:04:40.120 maybe he should have done

00:04:40.880 some due diligence.

00:04:41.760 He should have looked.

00:04:42.540 He should have known.

00:04:43.680 Now,

00:04:44.120 as a public figure,

00:04:45.440 maybe not as known,

00:04:46.760 as popular

00:04:47.160 as Mufti Meng

00:04:48.720 and we ask Allah

00:04:49.500 to make us famous

00:04:50.380 in the heavens

00:04:50.860 and not just,

00:04:51.960 you know,

00:04:52.440 in this dunya.

00:04:53.620 The point is this, guys.

00:04:55.040 Yes,

00:04:55.360 you guys have expectations of us

00:04:56.780 but we have a life

00:04:58.180 where it's so,

00:04:59.240 so,

00:04:59.540 so hectic.

00:05:01.160 So hectic, guys.

00:05:02.620 So,

00:05:03.180 you need to understand

00:05:03.820 we are not superhuman beings.

00:05:05.540 Yeah?

00:05:06.060 Neither are we infallible.

00:05:07.520 So,

00:05:07.700 you need to understand

00:05:08.440 that there are certain things

00:05:11.100 we make mistakes of.

00:05:12.460 This is an easy mistake

00:05:13.900 that we can look past

00:05:15.240 because you need to understand

00:05:16.840 the event that he's gone to

00:05:18.420 has multiple individuals,

00:05:20.400 group of people

00:05:21.440 from different faith groups.

00:05:23.540 If the event

00:05:25.520 was just where

00:05:27.280 there's Jews

00:05:28.740 and Muslims,

00:05:30.680 we would be saying

00:05:31.520 to Mufti Meng,

00:05:32.060 Mufti Meng,

00:05:32.620 didn't that look a bit fishy?

00:05:34.800 When you go into

00:05:35.820 an Iftar event,

00:05:36.740 a Ramadan event,

00:05:38.040 yeah,

00:05:38.260 an opportunity to give

00:05:39.260 Dawah

00:05:39.620 and you see people

00:05:40.600 from different faith groups,

00:05:41.980 nobody is ever going to think

00:05:43.360 this is an event

00:05:44.740 to normalize relationships

00:05:46.080 with Zionists

00:05:46.920 or Israel

00:05:47.360 because it doesn't look like that.

00:05:49.100 The theme is not that.

00:05:50.540 So,

00:05:50.720 let's make that category clear.

00:05:51.880 So,

00:05:52.260 in context,

00:05:53.460 number one,

00:05:53.840 he didn't know.

00:05:54.320 number two,

00:05:56.240 the event itself

00:05:57.220 is not even something

00:05:58.680 that you can be like,

00:05:59.360 this sounds a bit fishy

00:06:00.200 because if it's a multi,

00:06:01.700 if it's an event

00:06:02.920 regarding different faiths,

00:06:04.120 you are bound to expect

00:06:05.840 a rabbi there.

00:06:07.240 You are bound to.

00:06:08.200 I mean,

00:06:08.400 let's be honest guys.

00:06:09.760 Let's be honest.

00:06:11.520 If there was no Christians,

00:06:13.360 there was no Sikhs,

00:06:14.540 there was no Hindus

00:06:15.780 or whatever

00:06:16.140 and it was just

00:06:17.220 Jewish rabbis,

00:06:19.140 then I would be like,

00:06:20.240 you know,

00:06:21.660 that was fishy.

00:06:22.840 I mean,

00:06:23.380 maybe you should have

00:06:24.100 found that before you went

00:06:25.200 but he's going to an event

00:06:27.060 where it's categorically clear.

00:06:28.520 It's a dinner.

00:06:29.140 It's a Ramadan event,

00:06:30.000 you know,

00:06:30.440 whatever it may be

00:06:31.360 and there is multiple

00:06:32.320 different groups of faith,

00:06:33.620 faith groups there.

00:06:34.440 So,

00:06:35.160 now that is in context.

00:06:36.800 So,

00:06:36.940 we looked at out of context,

00:06:38.500 context,

00:06:39.340 we looked at it from in context.

00:06:40.720 Now,

00:06:41.060 look at it from our context,

00:06:43.160 your context.

00:06:43.840 Do you guys believe

00:06:45.300 that Mufti Menk

00:06:47.040 was told

00:06:48.460 you are coming to an event

00:06:50.160 where there will be

00:06:51.240 a pro-Zionist

00:06:52.860 Israeli

00:06:54.080 sitting right next to you

00:06:56.100 and we are doing this

00:06:58.280 to normalize affairs.

00:06:59.860 Do you believe Mufti Menk

00:07:01.380 from your context,

00:07:02.300 from your perspective,

00:07:03.600 he would say yes to that

00:07:05.020 or do you think

00:07:06.060 he would say no to that?

00:07:07.780 Now,

00:07:08.020 if you ask me that question,

00:07:09.440 I would say

00:07:10.060 he would categorically

00:07:12.220 say no to that.

00:07:15.060 Now,

00:07:15.520 I have no reason

00:07:16.760 to believe

00:07:17.940 Mufti Menk

00:07:18.640 will say yes to that.

00:07:20.680 So,

00:07:21.060 the question I want to ask

00:07:22.460 which is the following thing

00:07:23.500 which I want to do

00:07:24.300 is now talk about

00:07:25.200 backstabbers,

00:07:26.060 those who are frustrated,

00:07:27.580 sincere individuals

00:07:28.440 and those who are blind followers.

00:07:30.960 I want to break it down

00:07:31.780 into three groups,

00:07:32.740 these categories

00:07:33.240 because that's what

00:07:33.940 we're kind of working with.

00:07:35.040 We know Mufti Menk

00:07:35.820 to be,

00:07:36.400 actually one brother put it,

00:07:38.560 you know,

00:07:38.780 he's like the Ronaldo

00:07:40.000 of the Muslim mode.

00:07:41.080 He's one of the biggest

00:07:42.200 dais,

00:07:42.840 if not,

00:07:43.180 he's the biggest dais

00:07:43.880 out there

00:07:44.740 and he does amazing work.

00:07:46.600 Have we seen evil from him?

00:07:48.320 No.

00:07:48.960 Have we seen bad from him?

00:07:50.260 No.

00:07:50.860 Have we seen question marks

00:07:51.880 on him?

00:07:52.380 No.

00:07:53.900 So now,

00:07:54.520 as a believer,

00:07:55.700 what is my responsibility

00:07:57.180 towards another believer

00:07:58.220 that I see good in

00:07:59.140 is that I have to assume

00:08:01.320 the best.

00:08:02.820 Minimum.

00:08:03.600 Minimum.

00:08:04.460 This doesn't mean

00:08:05.500 that when I see things

00:08:06.700 which are like really efficient,

00:08:07.840 I'm like,

00:08:08.120 no.

00:08:10.300 Assuming the best,

00:08:11.100 husnul dhan

00:08:11.700 should be given

00:08:12.500 to a great limit.

00:08:13.920 Like the Salaf would say,

00:08:14.580 if we saw our brother

00:08:15.300 drenched in alcohol,

00:08:16.380 you guys know,

00:08:17.260 we will say somebody

00:08:17.980 pulled it down his head.

00:08:19.180 If we saw him on a mountain

00:08:19.980 saying,

00:08:20.860 I am your lord

00:08:21.940 and you are my slave,

00:08:22.960 we'll say he's reciting

00:08:23.900 an ayah of the Quran.

00:08:25.680 Guys,

00:08:26.140 the point is this,

00:08:27.700 there should be husnul dhan.

00:08:29.060 We need to learn

00:08:29.560 how to have good assumptions.

00:08:31.220 Allah says in the Quran,

00:08:32.000 chapter of Hujrat,

00:08:33.820 in Surah Hujrat,

00:08:34.500 verse 12,

00:08:34.900 O believers,

00:08:36.100 avoid many suspicions,

00:08:37.540 for indeed some suspicion

00:08:38.640 is sinful.

00:08:39.720 And do not say,

00:08:41.000 nor backbite one another.

00:08:42.360 Would any of you

00:08:43.000 like to eat the flesh

00:08:43.700 of their brother?

00:08:44.620 You would despise that.

00:08:45.960 And fear Allah,

00:08:46.880 surely Allah is the,

00:08:48.080 Allah accepts the repentance

00:08:49.480 and he's the most merciful.

00:08:50.980 Guys,

00:08:51.720 so now,

00:08:52.780 I want to talk about backstabbers.

00:08:54.260 Yeah?

00:08:54.860 A couple of months ago,

00:08:55.680 I personally had this,

00:08:57.320 okay?

00:08:58.300 Where I'd done a video

00:08:59.200 against an clear enemy of Islam,

00:09:01.240 somebody who rips the Quran,

00:09:03.300 installs the Prophet

00:09:04.040 night and day.

00:09:05.740 And I had a,

00:09:07.520 I wouldn't even call it

00:09:08.120 a debate, etc.

00:09:09.300 You know,

00:09:09.840 but there was,

00:09:10.760 the way I conducted myself

00:09:11.740 was a bit cringy.

00:09:12.840 Yeah?

00:09:13.180 It was a bit,

00:09:14.300 it was not needed.

00:09:15.420 Yeah?

00:09:15.680 It was not,

00:09:16.080 the way I conducted myself

00:09:16.820 was not the best way.

00:09:18.380 Not that he caught me

00:09:19.000 in any arguments,

00:09:19.920 not he made any valid points,

00:09:21.720 that guy couldn't even recite

00:09:22.560 Surah Kauthar.

00:09:24.120 Yeah?

00:09:24.260 That's how prophetic it was.

00:09:25.860 But,

00:09:26.800 the very next day,

00:09:28.220 the very next day,

00:09:29.520 it's as if somebody,

00:09:30.500 these individuals,

00:09:31.920 and,

00:09:32.040 you know,

00:09:32.520 literal opportunistic,

00:09:33.680 backstabbers.

00:09:34.760 Yeah?

00:09:34.900 The guy didn't wait,

00:09:36.400 one day,

00:09:37.320 he edited a video,

00:09:38.200 recorded it,

00:09:38.560 and released it,

00:09:39.100 attacking me.

00:09:40.100 And not only attacking me,

00:09:41.000 defending the guy,

00:09:42.340 defending the guy

00:09:42.980 that I've apparently

00:09:43.680 slandered him.

00:09:44.460 Yeah?

00:09:45.400 Now,

00:09:46.020 these kind of individuals

00:09:47.060 are backstabbers,

00:09:48.220 opportunistic backstabbers.

00:09:49.200 Who are these people?

00:09:50.000 These are people

00:09:50.660 who are waiting

00:09:51.680 for your mistake.

00:09:53.320 They are looking.

00:09:54.920 How can I catch him?

00:09:56.920 When can I catch him?

00:09:58.420 Yeah?

00:09:58.840 This is the approach they have.

00:10:00.200 That's why I call them

00:10:00.800 as opportunistic backstabbers.

00:10:03.060 That's what they are.

00:10:04.240 They have a disease in the heart.

00:10:06.220 I'll tell you very categorically.

00:10:07.900 These people hate you

00:10:09.580 more than they hate

00:10:10.520 the enemies of Islam.

00:10:11.440 Their hatred to you

00:10:12.360 is so greater

00:10:13.120 than the enemies of Islam

00:10:14.200 that they have no problem.

00:10:16.640 The moment they see you

00:10:17.520 fall down,

00:10:18.960 attack.

00:10:19.600 Attack.

00:10:19.800 They don't think

00:10:20.920 another believer.

00:10:22.140 Yeah?

00:10:22.600 Like we know the concept

00:10:23.420 in Islam

00:10:23.820 that the worst of believer

00:10:25.740 is better than the best

00:10:26.900 of the disbeliever.

00:10:28.000 This is from our religion.

00:10:29.880 It's as simple as that.

00:10:30.460 Why?

00:10:30.660 Because of Tawheed.

00:10:31.440 Not because of race,

00:10:32.480 money,

00:10:32.800 no, no, no.

00:10:33.440 Because of

00:10:33.900 La ilaha illallah.

00:10:35.260 Yeah?

00:10:35.700 And you have this group

00:10:36.420 of individuals.

00:10:37.680 You have this group

00:10:38.360 of individuals.

00:10:39.540 Basically,

00:10:40.140 the hatred

00:10:40.620 was like khawarij.

00:10:42.180 I'm not calling

00:10:42.720 anyone khawarij.

00:10:43.180 I'm saying the attitude

00:10:43.820 is like that.

00:10:44.280 Because khawarij was known

00:10:45.260 to attack severely

00:10:47.300 towards the believers.

00:10:48.140 Like Allah says in the Quran,

00:10:48.820 be soft towards the believers

00:10:50.340 and harsh towards the disbelievers.

00:10:51.700 By the way,

00:10:51.960 we're talking about

00:10:52.260 combatants' enemies.

00:10:53.340 Yeah?

00:10:53.740 These guys flip it.

00:10:55.160 Yeah?

00:10:55.540 Opposite.

00:10:56.040 Total opposite.

00:10:56.860 Yeah?

00:10:57.680 Now, Al Jazeera,

00:10:58.800 to me,

00:10:59.160 fits in that.

00:11:00.060 Sorry,

00:11:00.420 it's like an opportunistic

00:11:01.580 backstabber

00:11:02.240 to come and do that.

00:11:04.240 Now,

00:11:04.520 second category was what?

00:11:05.700 We said backstabbers

00:11:06.280 and those who are

00:11:07.460 sincere,

00:11:08.960 frustrated Muslims.

00:11:10.780 Yeah?

00:11:10.940 Brothers.

00:11:11.700 Now,

00:11:11.980 I believe

00:11:12.420 Brother Dili Hussain

00:11:13.440 from Five Pillars,

00:11:14.920 may Allah bless him,

00:11:15.520 I know him.

00:11:16.920 Last Ramadan

00:11:17.800 or the year before

00:11:18.300 that I used to do

00:11:18.740 Uber,

00:11:18.980 I think I dropped

00:11:19.340 the customer.

00:11:19.780 I went then

00:11:20.200 and ate with him

00:11:20.900 and he called

00:11:21.520 with his house,

00:11:22.040 I had

00:11:22.460 Sahur there.

00:11:23.900 Okay?

00:11:24.560 May Allah bless him.

00:11:25.580 How I am assuming

00:11:26.460 the best

00:11:27.000 in Mufti Menk

00:11:27.860 in that situation,

00:11:28.980 I have to assume

00:11:29.760 the best

00:11:30.080 in Dili as well.

00:11:31.360 Now,

00:11:31.700 Mufti Menk

00:11:32.340 doesn't know Dili,

00:11:33.380 so it's understandable

00:11:34.140 that he's upset

00:11:34.980 and he has a right

00:11:35.800 to be upset

00:11:36.380 because the title

00:11:37.360 of Five Pillars,

00:11:38.100 I personally

00:11:38.880 would have not

00:11:40.000 agreed with

00:11:40.460 because it was

00:11:41.540 kind of misrepresented.

00:11:42.520 I'm not saying

00:11:43.040 anybody did it

00:11:44.000 on purpose.

00:11:44.840 I also understand

00:11:46.160 where Brother Dili Hussain

00:11:47.060 is coming from

00:11:47.820 with the frustration

00:11:48.740 of what's going on

00:11:49.300 in Palestine

00:11:49.720 and the dhulm

00:11:50.640 and the oppression

00:11:51.040 they're doing.

00:11:51.840 Sometimes in my country

00:11:52.720 they say,

00:11:53.300 when you get up

00:11:54.660 with anger

00:11:55.200 and you sit down

00:11:57.160 with a loss.

00:11:58.120 So the thing is,

00:11:59.000 where Brother Dili Hussain

00:11:59.780 was coming from

00:12:00.300 is understandable.

00:12:01.440 Maybe,

00:12:02.340 you know,

00:12:03.140 Mufti Menk,

00:12:03.500 and he did say

00:12:04.300 that he tried

00:12:04.780 to get in contact

00:12:05.360 with him privately,

00:12:06.280 okay,

00:12:06.820 which shows me

00:12:07.980 sincerity,

00:12:09.100 yeah,

00:12:09.300 and he did

00:12:09.780 in his video

00:12:10.300 mention how much

00:12:11.380 he does love

00:12:11.820 Mufti Menk

00:12:12.380 and his videos,

00:12:13.440 etc.,

00:12:13.900 and I do believe

00:12:15.140 what Mufti Menk,

00:12:15.960 you know,

00:12:16.940 he expressed,

00:12:17.540 you know,

00:12:17.740 he was upset,

00:12:18.280 etc.,

00:12:18.580 I think was more

00:12:19.440 targeted towards

00:12:20.420 Al Jazeera

00:12:20.940 rather than

00:12:22.140 Brother Dili himself

00:12:23.800 because he doesn't

00:12:24.380 know him,

00:12:24.900 okay,

00:12:25.100 it's understandable

00:12:25.760 when these things

00:12:26.540 happen with human beings,

00:12:27.840 you know,

00:12:28.060 when it comes across

00:12:29.000 like that,

00:12:29.700 it seems like that,

00:12:30.340 but I genuinely believe

00:12:31.060 Brother Dili Hussain

00:12:31.900 was genuinely just frustrated

00:12:33.580 that to see what

00:12:35.200 the United Arab Emirates

00:12:36.340 are doing,

00:12:36.680 normalizing relationships

00:12:39.140 with Israel,

00:12:42.120 he was frustrated

00:12:43.000 and someone like

00:12:43.960 Mufti Menk

00:12:44.420 who plays obviously

00:12:45.260 a massive role

00:12:45.940 in the Muslim community

00:12:48.380 and has a massive influence,

00:12:50.300 obviously to him

00:12:51.040 maybe it was frustrating

00:12:51.860 and it was just

00:12:53.340 something maybe

00:12:53.900 done without

00:12:55.400 maybe great thought

00:12:56.460 in both parts,

00:12:57.140 just as we think,

00:12:58.440 okay,

00:12:58.580 Mufti Menk should have

00:12:59.220 thought about it

00:13:00.000 before doing,

00:13:00.960 even though I

00:13:01.540 I don't think

00:13:02.980 there's any blame

00:13:03.680 on him

00:13:03.900 because he didn't know,

00:13:04.880 I think the same

00:13:05.340 could be said

00:13:05.800 about Brother Dili Hussain

00:13:06.840 that maybe he has

00:13:07.940 done the article

00:13:09.080 without maybe

00:13:10.040 giving it a deeper thought,

00:13:11.300 you know,

00:13:12.180 so I want to say

00:13:13.420 that Brother Dili

00:13:14.200 I believe is sincere

00:13:15.020 and he done it

00:13:16.680 out of concern

00:13:17.560 and that's it,

00:13:18.580 I don't think

00:13:18.880 he has anything

00:13:19.400 against Brother

00:13:20.040 Mufti Menk

00:13:20.860 and neither do I

00:13:21.940 would even class him

00:13:23.220 anywhere near back

00:13:23.780 as an opportunistic person,

00:13:24.740 I would far away

00:13:25.800 from that.

00:13:26.620 Now,

00:13:27.720 another issue

00:13:28.360 is this,

00:13:28.920 guys,

00:13:29.160 okay,

00:13:30.020 Mufti Menk,

00:13:30.780 if he doesn't know,

00:13:31.380 if I don't know

00:13:32.220 somebody guys,

00:13:33.140 if I sit down

00:13:33.740 with Hitler

00:13:34.140 and I eat food

00:13:34.780 and I don't know

00:13:36.020 nothing about Hitler,

00:13:36.980 I don't know

00:13:37.280 who the hell

00:13:37.980 Hitler is,

00:13:38.720 okay,

00:13:39.620 and people are like,

00:13:40.120 oh my gosh,

00:13:40.480 he did this,

00:13:40.860 he did that,

00:13:41.440 how could you,

00:13:42.240 but I don't know

00:13:42.920 who he is,

00:13:43.940 like I don't know,

00:13:44.820 I did not know

00:13:45.500 who he is,

00:13:46.020 why are you blaming me

00:13:47.320 for something

00:13:48.140 I did not know,

00:13:49.820 I don't know,

00:13:52.020 subhanallah,

00:13:52.640 Allah says in the Quran,

00:13:53.380 we will not destroy a nation

00:13:54.120 until we send a messenger,

00:13:55.360 so at least they know

00:13:56.260 and they'll be judged,

00:13:57.640 how can we judge someone

00:13:58.500 when they did not know,

00:14:00.720 now lastly,

00:14:01.580 I want to address

00:14:02.300 the blind followers,

00:14:03.300 now the blind followers

00:14:03.980 go with myself

00:14:05.060 and anyone that's a public figure,

00:14:06.620 sometimes we defend somebody

00:14:08.620 and I'm not saying

00:14:09.120 there's anything wrong with that,

00:14:10.180 but we defend him

00:14:10.980 even if he's wrong,

00:14:11.860 and I'm not trying to say

00:14:12.480 Mufti Menk,

00:14:13.020 anyone's wrong,

00:14:13.500 because I've made it

00:14:13.880 categorically clear

00:14:14.500 that he was in his fault,

00:14:15.940 he did not know,

00:14:16.520 it's as simple as that,

00:14:17.940 but the thing is this guys,

00:14:19.600 we need to also

00:14:20.440 not attack somebody else,

00:14:22.080 for example,

00:14:23.300 you know,

00:14:23.600 Brother Dili was also

00:14:24.380 being attacked,

00:14:25.140 etc,

00:14:25.700 look guys,

00:14:26.180 we also need to be like,

00:14:26.960 okay,

00:14:27.160 you know what,

00:14:27.620 maybe the title was wrong,

00:14:28.800 but we should not go

00:14:29.940 and attack and backbite

00:14:30.900 slander,

00:14:31.720 you know,

00:14:32.280 just because we really

00:14:33.100 love someone,

00:14:33.720 it's understandable,

00:14:34.520 I understand,

00:14:35.000 I have people that love

00:14:35.640 the work that I do,

00:14:36.680 but sometimes when I see

00:14:37.600 them being unjust as someone

00:14:38.620 just because of who I am,

00:14:39.980 I'm like,

00:14:40.220 don't do that,

00:14:40.760 because you're being unjust here,

00:14:42.800 so just for the blind

00:14:44.360 followers of anybody,

00:14:45.780 let's just be careful

00:14:46.700 that we do not,

00:14:48.720 you know,

00:14:49.080 put love someone

00:14:50.100 to such a point

00:14:50.800 that we become unjust,

00:14:51.820 it's not fair,

00:14:52.760 and in a nutshell,

00:14:53.940 guys,

00:14:54.200 I just want to end with that,

00:14:55.360 it's as simple as that,

00:14:56.080 that's my two pence piece,

00:14:57.260 look,

00:14:57.380 I'm a nobody,

00:14:58.080 it's just,

00:14:58.740 I'm just trying to make things

00:14:59.860 and put things into context,

00:15:01.360 like I said before,

00:15:02.440 it's every Muslim believer's job

00:15:03.880 to assume the best,

00:15:05.540 it's as simple as that guys,

00:15:06.900 it's not really hard to do,

00:15:08.400 and somebody who does good work,

00:15:09.740 we have to assume the best,

00:15:11.620 inshallah,

00:15:12.260 and like I said before,

00:15:13.540 I know Mufti Meng,

00:15:14.720 I know him personally,

00:15:16.440 and I know very categorically clear,

00:15:18.020 if he was told,

00:15:18.700 this is a Zionist guy,

00:15:19.980 he's trying to normalize relationships

00:15:21.200 between United Arab Emirates

00:15:22.900 and Israel,

00:15:25.420 et cetera,

00:15:26.160 I know he's going to say no,

00:15:27.460 and he's made it very clear

00:15:28.360 that he stands for the

00:15:29.140 Palestinian cause,

00:15:30.820 it's as simple as that,

00:15:32.400 brothers and sisters,

00:15:33.420 and that's it,

00:15:34.600 that's all I have to say,

00:15:35.240 I can't long out anymore,

00:15:36.580 that's why I said,

00:15:37.400 do you agree,

00:15:37.920 you don't agree,

00:15:38.380 give it a two pence piece there,

00:15:40.340 not that it will change my opinion,

00:15:41.660 my opinion,

00:15:42.160 like I said before,

00:15:43.260 it's very clear,

00:15:43.800 I looked into the matter,

00:15:45.100 et cetera,

00:15:45.540 and I'm seeing both sides,

00:15:46.840 people attacking,

00:15:47.460 some people attacking Mufti Meng,

00:15:48.300 some people attacking Dili Hussein,

00:15:49.800 et cetera,

00:15:50.700 please guys,

00:15:51.260 it's Ramadan,

00:15:52.220 we're in Ramadan for God's sake,

00:15:53.400 okay,

00:15:53.940 let's take a step back,

00:15:54.940 let's just relax inshallah,

00:15:56.460 and let's assume the best,

00:15:57.940 in brother Dili,

00:15:58.720 as much as we should also,

00:15:59.940 assume the best in Mufti Meng,

00:16:01.520 we should do that,

00:16:02.200 brother and sister inshallah,

00:16:03.040 and maybe even in this video,

00:16:04.080 if you disagree with me,

00:16:10.580 till next time brothers and sisters,

00:16:11.920 inshallah,

00:16:13.540 if I have forgiven me inshallah,

00:16:15.340 and if I have done,

00:16:16.100 if this video has caused,

00:16:17.360 upset somebody,
