00:02:50.800
made towards me etc whatever it may be even with uh the young brother strikes the young brother who
00:02:56.160
came to speaker's corner you know uh and gives me salaam and next he tries to do a reputation with
00:03:00.560
you well like these brothers this is what happens when you're young and zealous anyways let's carry
00:03:05.600
on inshallah and watch the video we can't say this listen listen those brothers who say that voting
00:03:11.920
is a form of ibadah they are miskin you know what does miskin so he was asked the question is that
00:03:18.240
can you know someone come and say that voting is an ibadah that voting is a form of worship
00:03:24.160
because it has to do with allah's laws etc and you had the you had the doctor's answer he said no
00:03:29.360
you can't say voting is an ibadah those people who say voting is an ibadah they are miskin now of course
00:03:35.120
we know that as shaykh said in his kitab that an ibadah is anything
00:03:41.760
that allah is pleased with anything which allah is pleased with it can be an action or a speech
00:03:48.080
internal or external the key point is anything allah is pleased with
00:03:53.840
we know allah is not pleased with kufra let's stop there for a second this is the highest form of
00:04:00.240
ignorance the highest degree of ignorance brother after this after this please after you watch this
00:04:06.000
video please take a time out go on holiday aki go to mecca medina study don't ever come on camera
00:04:12.960
again your ignorance is so high that you're saying allah has to love the ibadah yeah and allah doesn't
00:04:20.320
love kufr so basically according to you brother shaykh wassula shaykh ibn Ufaymeen look what he said
00:04:28.640
shaykh is the most striking he said it is a wajib wajib one more time brother for you wajib
00:04:36.480
obligation to vote for the lesser of two evils in elections in the west it is an obligation that
00:04:43.440
the muslim vote for the lesser of evil or harmful to the muslims act of ibadah yeah we caught that
00:04:50.720
from among the non-muslims and there is no problem in this pay attention he said it's wajib and here is
00:04:57.840
the evidence that follows he backed this statement out with evidence from the quran in quran surah
00:05:02.800
room verse 1 to 4 in which allah tells the muslims to rejoice at the victory of christians over the
00:05:08.960
persian magians or something like that shaykh utaymeen says allah has decided that that we be happy for
00:05:14.960
their victory that is about the christian defeating the persians because they the christians were closer
00:05:19.200
to islam do you understand that or should i take you brother's words and say shaykh utaymeen
00:05:26.960
shaykh wassula and all these people shaykh sadr shitri yes shaykh sadr shitri is well actually yes
00:05:32.560
somebody that you respect are doing acts of kufr subhanallah the unqualified mufti mashallah he's
00:05:39.040
giving her a verdict my brother wallahi please know your place this is a sign that you need to sit back
00:05:44.480
down get off camera he's saying anything that allah's pleased with is an act of ibadah okay good now
00:05:50.880
you're coming from your perspective and saying this is an act of kufr this is from your perspective
00:05:58.640
from you by the way who are you what's your qualifications aki no no respect who are you
00:06:07.280
please ask this question yourself who are you the second thing is you're saying it's a form uh anything
00:06:13.360
that allah's pleased with that is ibadah this is not ibadah it's kufr my brother
00:06:18.000
firstly you have no right to say these statements anyway you have not qualifications at all forget
00:06:23.600
that for a second when the sheikh comes and gets this ruling he's getting it from the quran and the
00:06:29.440
sunnah he's deriving this understanding you can't now let's say i derive an understanding yeah then you
00:06:36.480
derive another understanding for example not you let's say not forget us two our scholar the one that i follow
00:06:40.720
and let's say your teacher they both get something this person can't go to the other and say you're
00:06:46.320
saying uh you're doing an act of kufr so your ibadah is not accepted neither can they say otherwise the
00:06:52.080
opposite way why because they both are knowledgeable on the matter and it can be a difference of opinion
00:06:58.480
if it's a difference of opinion how could you come and say that this matters of ibadah is an act of
00:07:03.760
kufr because if the action is done for the sake of allah then it's a form of ibadah
00:07:08.640
kufr allah is not pleased with things which you know like i said we know that we know that allah
00:07:14.720
is not pleased with something that the stuff that haram or kufr but who are you to say that voting is
00:07:21.040
an act of kufr who are you because we've got a list of scholars who say you can vote in specific
00:07:25.840
situations in general we all agree we know that in specific situations of course you can't say that
00:07:34.080
voting isn't ibadah and i agree 100 percent anyone who says that voting isn't ibadah without a shadow
00:07:42.560
of a doubt they are miskin good so now what brother uh abu bakar is doing he's getting prepared because
00:07:48.000
he's looking for the fall of the sheikh and he thinks he's caught the sheikh out inshallah uh if i'm
00:07:52.400
mistaken mistaken the prophet said that allah said anybody who looks for the mistake of another
00:07:58.560
believer allah will find his mistake and humiliate him in his very own house this is the reason why
00:08:04.320
bravo you are being humiliated right now in this video inshallah you know why because you're looking
00:08:08.480
for the mistake of others it's not about sheikh heatham sheikh is not perfect he makes a lot of
00:08:11.600
mistakes i don't agree with him with everything but when you go out there in a disrespectful tone where
00:08:16.480
you are a little baby student knowledge you're not even a baby student of knowledge you started practicing
00:08:19.680
one and a half year ago and you're looking for the mistake of individuals okay this is what's going
00:08:23.520
to happen now we're going to find out who the real miskin is because sheikh heatham he's talking about
00:08:28.320
when he's talking about ibadah that anybody says ibadah is um i mean voting is a form of ibadah is a
00:08:35.520
miskin you know what he's talking about everything in our religion is ibadah everything me doing this
00:08:40.800
video for the sake of allah is ibadah however we have set ibadah meaning these conditions for example that
00:08:47.680
are confirmed by the quran and the sunnah so the salah the zakah the fasting the hajj uh etc
00:08:55.440
anything that's mentioned by text these are set ibadah meaning you can't play around with this
00:09:00.800
you can't come and say hey i'm going to pray five rakat isha i'm going to say oh hold on a second
00:09:04.560
mate hold on a second this is haram it's haram unto proven halal where is the evidence from the text
00:09:10.000
that allows you to pray five rakat five rakats for isha or somebody who says i'm going to fast from
00:09:14.960
dhur to maghrib hold on a second brother this is a set ibadah yeah it's tawqifi so who who is telling
00:09:21.680
you that you can do this this is haram unto proven halal this is said about this is what sheikh's
00:09:26.480
talking about but brother abu bakar thinks he caught the sheikh slipping but you know what actually
00:09:30.400
happened it's actually your lack of understanding which you're going to embarrass yourself in a minute
00:09:34.640
let's go and find out inshallah who the real miskin is doing ibadah yeah this is part of our
00:09:40.800
i just i just want you to hold it for a second and we just want to look at abu bakar's face
00:09:54.880
now brothers sisters when i put this in the title the face you make when you're ignorant on a matter
00:09:58.800
you can't grasp it due to a lack of knowledge i don't mean this to block the brother i genuinely
00:10:03.520
genuinely because you made a big slip up aki you made a big slip up and that's why i just wanted to
00:10:08.480
show you why this is an act of ignorance because what you've done now is this you have come and
00:10:14.640
said hold on a second a minute ago you said if anybody says that this is a matter of devoted
00:10:20.320
ibadah is a miskin now you're mocking the sheikh with that face by saying hold on a second now you're
00:10:27.600
saying voting is a badda let me tell you the difference brother like i said before if you claim that this is
00:10:33.520
one of the set conditions that it's an ibadah in that state in the form everything is ibadah but
00:10:39.520
if you're saying it's one of the setted categories that have been mentioned you're a miskin however now
00:10:45.120
you might come and say hold on a second why is shakaten saying it's ibadah because brother if i'm going to
00:10:50.720
vote for the sake of allah for the lesser of the two evils because one is causing a greater harm than
00:10:57.360
is going to cause a greater harm than the other that is a form of ibadah if i'm going to go and
00:11:03.200
eat some food to be strong to pray salah that is a form of ibadah if i'm going to go to the gym and
00:11:08.800
get strong for the sake of allah that is a form of ibadah so shaykh is saying in the month of ramadan
00:11:14.880
what you're doing if the person you vote for is going to make the lives of the muslims easier not
00:11:20.240
going to bomb our brothers and sisters in another land that is a form of ibadah you know why because and
00:11:26.080
it's something that allah loves how because it's an action that you're you're trying to decrease
00:11:32.080
the harm and increase the good now there is a profound statement which i want to share with
00:11:37.280
you guys insha'Allah so this is a saying from a scholar and one is profound adat ul gafilin and
00:11:43.200
ibadat ul salihin what this means is that the normal actions of the heedless people like going to work
00:11:49.520
financial dealings contract etc are in fact acts of virtues for the righteous people because they do
00:11:55.760
these actions with righteous intentions so for example a non-muslim that's voting he might be
00:12:02.240
voting because of he's voting whatever it may be but when a muslim doing it he's saying oh allah i'm
00:12:07.600
doing this for your sake i'm doing this for your sake so our brothers and sisters are not bombed so
00:12:12.000
our life is made easy so i can worship you do you understand my brother that's why no offense you are
00:12:18.640
mocking the shaykh by having that face wallahi you are the miskin here you are the miskin you made a big
00:12:23.760
slip-up you made a big slip-up and you're the miskin well let's carry on
00:12:33.440
it's an ibadah linguistically technically or maybe maybe he meant
00:12:42.160
wallahi wallahi aki brother may allah bless you wallahi you don't know you don't know aki wallahi
00:12:48.080
you making this video is a big mistake in itself wallahi you don't know stick to what you know brother
00:12:52.560
you embarrassed yourself with this by thinking the sheikh's contradicting himself but instead you
00:12:56.880
know why you know why you're actually shocked aki because you can't grasp the knowledge you can't
00:13:02.880
grasp and understand because you can't understand you're from the mother of the other person the
00:13:06.720
problem is with you brother you can't understand and this is why you embarrassed yourself and you're
00:13:11.360
you're the miskin here levels of unclarity the levels of contradiction
00:13:16.400
you think it's a contradiction because you can't understand it's like me going to somebody and
00:13:21.920
explaining to them they're saying oh allah says in the quran that he was he made uh
00:13:26.560
humans out of clay human beings out of clay and then the place it says he made them out of water in
00:13:30.400
another place it says he made them out of sperm you're going to say look contradiction we're going
00:13:34.240
to say brother the problem is with you you can't grasp it it's not contradiction it's a
00:13:38.640
contradistinction meaning allah we are also we are made out of water we are also made out of sperm
00:13:43.840
we are also made out of clay it's earth etc it's not a contradiction it's a contradistinction
00:13:49.120
the problem is with you brother don't blame the sheikh well that's why they say a jahil will never
00:13:54.640
know who's a real scholar but a scholar will know who's a jahil because a scholar was once a jahil
00:14:00.080
so that's why i don't blame you uh unreal maybe well that is unreal what you did there is unreal
00:14:07.680
it's a big slip up subhanallah you really embarrassed yourself and this is an evidence
00:14:12.000
to stick to your lane stick to your lane hard shoulder because of my ignorance maybe it's because
00:14:17.200
of my young age maybe these are factors that have got to do with it again please if anyone is watching
00:14:21.680
this and you have the answers please comment down below may allah bless you aki you asked you said
00:14:29.200
comment in the section below i thought i'll do something better than a comment maybe you haven't
00:14:32.000
got time to read you can watch this easily yeah aki here's the advice the prophet said the deen is
00:14:36.800
advice here's my advice to you inshallah now let's move on to another issue a kid
00:14:42.000
so what's the matter if there is a small kid and he reads the quran does it become wrong
00:14:48.480
of course not it doesn't matter if someone is young or old if the hawk is spoken it should be
00:14:54.320
accepted and this is our deen now with this statement the brothers what they're trying to
00:15:00.320
say is that we have permission from shaykh wasiullah that we can come and talk about these matters hold
00:15:04.640
on a second but pause pause pause pause have a little break here shaykh wasiullah was talking about a
00:15:10.480
specific situation when this mawlad issue was happening when there was an issue with that happening yeah
00:15:14.880
yeah where did shaykh wasiullah say and he's right if a kid comes with a quran if somebody comes
00:15:20.560
his pork is i can eat halal i will say hold on a second even a little kid comes pork is forbidden
00:15:25.760
nobody is denying that you are using this evidence like it gives you the permission to go out and speak
00:15:31.840
about matters that's over your head you're making it seem like this is giving us the full thing i challenge
00:15:38.320
you brother we'll go to medina we'll go to mecca together and we'll go to shaykh wasiullah and we'll show
00:15:43.520
all the stuff that you guys have been doing and talking about matters that's over your head
00:15:47.760
yeah and let's go and sit down with the shaykh and say is this permissible i am ready to do that
00:15:53.520
i'm ready to inshallah by the end of the sea i'm planning to go in and i will go and see shaykh wasiullah
00:15:57.280
myself i'm going to go and see shaykh wasiullah with the brothers and i'm going to show the content
00:16:01.200
i'm going to say shaykh is this permissible is these brothers talking about the efforts giving getting a general ruling
00:16:07.360
getting the names of the scholars and the books and applying it on the specific situation
00:16:11.360
yeah is this permissible now not only that musa's father went to see shaykh wasiullah in person
00:16:16.800
himself and there's a picture and audio going to be played right now and look what shaykh wasi
00:16:20.880
wasiullah said about this matter let's see here for ourselves what he said bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim
00:16:25.600
i'm Adnan Rashid i want to clarify that i met shaykh wasiullah abbas during the hajj 2016.
00:16:32.800
i had a meeting with him and i put some problems in front of him and i told him there are some young
00:16:38.160
brothers in the uk who are using your name to attack other scholars and i mentioned shaykh
00:16:42.880
haytham al-haddad in particular and shaykh said he know he knows shaykh haytham and he said he knows
00:16:50.320
good of him then i told him of the brothers who are attacking him young brothers with little knowledge
00:16:56.240
and and shaykh wasiullah was aware of them he was actually aware of the brothers he mentioned them by
00:17:01.200
name and he said if they are using my name to attack other scholars then they should fear allah
00:17:05.360
and they should stop doing what they're doing so shaykh wasiullah abbas did not agree with this
00:17:09.840
approach rather he criticized it in front of me in person so i am Adnan Rashid i am witness to the
00:17:17.280
to the fact that shaykh wasiullah criticized the brothers who use his name to attack other scholars
00:17:23.920
so they should stop doing it they should not use the shaykh's name
00:17:27.120
and the picture can be seen where i met the shaykh the the evidence is clear
00:17:32.800
where is evidence that shaykh wasiullah said you can go and start refuting scholars where
00:17:47.200
now the reason why i put these videos one after another and cut in them is this is another issue
00:17:53.200
that we have we already have the disease of young people think talking about matters that's over
00:17:57.280
their head that's another issue now we have another problem the brother may Allah bless him
00:18:01.840
masha'Allah memorized some uh some uh things in arabic that he's memorized it actually wallahi wallahi
00:18:08.800
it's not hard wallahi it's not hard to memorize arabic words it's not hard that's the reason why i put
00:18:14.640
them all together you saying words in arabic language actually it doesn't make you like wallahi if you
00:18:20.480
you concentrated more on understanding what's being said if you started with different people
00:18:26.080
and you understand that the knowledge that you're being given instead of concentrating on just arabic
00:18:30.640
words that you can use on a video um and this might be wrong yeah a lot of people say i'm just
00:18:35.920
talking just talking about you a lot of people go and say use arabic words and we're like subhanallah
00:18:40.320
wow mashallah such knowledge your arabic words mean nothing abu jahl knew arabic abu jahl knew arabic
00:18:47.840
maybe better than you but he's abu jahl he's a jahl he's in the pits of the hellfire it doesn't mean
00:18:54.160
nothing if you do not implement it and don't stick in your lane brother so using arabic words this
00:18:58.960
that whoever it may be it doesn't mean anything i keep wallahi i can memorize arabic words and this
00:19:03.680
that that but i have my personal reason why i don't do it or i do do but i don't do it in public i have
00:19:08.240
my personal reasons inshallah when is allah going to uplift this oppression from us
00:19:16.560
you go back to your religion may allah bless the brother this is the point where i will say
00:19:21.680
aki mashallah if you did a video just on this i'm 100 with you the brother spoke the haq when a person
00:19:27.840
speaks the haq you have to give it to the guy the person spoke the haq allah will humiliate us and i'm
00:19:33.680
with the brother until we turn back to his religion brothers and sisters allah will keep humiliating
00:19:38.320
us until we turn back to allah and his messenger we turn back to the quran and the sunnah we will be
00:19:45.600
humiliated all right the brother's right he's speaking the truth he's speaking the haq until we
00:19:51.120
turn back to his religion brothers and sisters so don't think your numbers or you're doing this or
00:19:54.720
you're doing that understanding the true way of the salaf and following the quran and sunnah is your
00:20:01.840
victory other than that do not see victory anywhere else stick to your lane you're studying mashallah
00:20:07.440
carry on stick to your lane brother i am a jahil i'm telling you in camera i am a jahil i don't know
00:20:15.680
i don't know i'm jahil if i come to you with these matters voting this that reject it from me say look
00:20:22.640
you are a nobody reject it from me unsubscribe go to my channel and unsubscribe click do not listen to
00:20:28.480
me if i ever come to you and sit on myself on the table without a scholar do this but i always come
00:20:34.240
and speak these matters i my job is dawah i talk about what i know why i don't know i don't know i
00:20:37.520
say i don't know saying i don't know is a part of the religion so brothers and sisters stick that
00:20:41.440
