In this episode, we talk about the recent video that went viral on the internet featuring a young man who had a heated exchange with a girl who tried to interrupt him while he was reciting the Holy Quran in Arabic.
00:05:10.160Allah hükümünde kimseyi ortak kabul etmez. Allah bazı ayetlerinde de hüküm hüküm hep hüküm diyor.
00:05:15.440İbadeti kendisinde olduğunu söylüyor. Hüküm bir ibadettir. E biz dedik ki
00:05:18.960nasıl ki namazı Allah'tan başkasına bir insan kılarsa hamda Allah'tan başkasına bir kişi verirse kafir olur dedik.
00:05:25.360E hükümde Allah ibadet diyor. E biz hakimiyet hüküm hakkını alıp beşere verdiğimiz zaman bize bu ayetlere göre kafir olmuş olmuyor muy sizce?
00:05:32.960Mesela Tevbe suresi 31'de Allah diyor ki
00:05:35.360Onlar Allah'ı bırakıp da din bilginlerini, abidlerini ve Meryem oğlu Mesih'i Rabler edindiler.
00:05:41.120Peygamber bu ayeti okuduğu zaman Adi bin Hatem diye birisi var gelip diyor ki
00:05:45.120Ey Allah'ın Resulü biz onları Rab edinmedik ki. Allah'ın Resulü de diyor ki
00:05:48.800Onlar Allah'ın helali haram haramında helal yaptılar. Siz de onlara uydunuz, itaat ettiniz.
00:05:56.240Okay, so like I said before, alhamdulillah, he made some really good points, etc.
00:06:01.040You know, I love the zeal for his deen, but this point of saying that to vote in a democratic state
00:06:05.920or to get involved in vote makes you a mushrik or a kafir is absolutely, it is not true.
00:06:10.480Yes, there are some people who may hold their opinion, but to say that there is bil-ijma'a,
00:06:14.240that there is absolute consensus that myself as a Muslim and I look at two parties, let's say Labour and Conservative, yeah?
00:06:20.720And even now, I believe that there's not, I believe not to vote. It's better not to vote.
00:06:25.600Not because of the shirk element, I just believe it does nothing.
00:06:28.160That's what I believe personally. I had a different opinion before, but you can see it doesn't really mean anything, yeah?
00:06:32.960But again, for those who believe that, for example, the hukum, that governorship and rulership is only for Allah, no Muslim will ever disagree with that.
00:06:43.360Any Muslim that says, I prefer democracy of the sharia is a kafir, yes, but he's not saying that. He's saying anybody that votes, yeah?
00:06:49.920So this is where the problematic issue comes because he's making it seem as if anybody votes.
00:06:54.400Like for example, if we have two candidates, one is going to make the lives of Muslims easier, yes?
00:06:59.280Or it's a gradual process for us to have better rights as Muslims in the UK, whatever for that matter.
00:07:04.960And if Muslims have that power to get rid of these individuals, 100% in Islam, we look at the lesser of two evils, how to avert evil.
00:07:12.880Like the Prophet said, the lowest form of imam is to take something harmful out of the way.
00:07:16.560So we are looking at, holistically, the harmful things.
00:07:20.000So as long as there's Muslims, we know, we want the sharia, that is what we want, that is what we love, period.
00:07:26.560But we are getting involved in this democratic election, not because we believe that they should govern above Allah's law, never.
00:07:33.360But the fact that we are looking at the lesser of two evils, Sheikh Al-Bali, even Sheikh Al-Bali, he did not say it is kafir, but he said it is haram.
00:07:38.960Sheikh Wasiyullah Abbas, he and many other scholars, if I'm not mistaken, Sheikh Salah Al-Fawzal or Thaymeen, I can't remember, one of them as well.
00:07:47.120They said in a situation where the Muslims are facing, where they have the lesser of two harms, they have to get involved.
00:07:54.800So he quotes Yusuf Alayhi Salaam, Surah Yusuf, yeah?
00:07:58.720It's very ironic because Yusuf Alayhi Salaam was the governor of a leadership, he was a governor under rulership, not under Sharia.
00:08:04.640Why? Because obviously if him doing that was better than somebody else.
00:08:09.160Him governing and as a prophet of Allah SWT, so it is better and a gradual process, like for example Allah SWT, when he talks about the Sahaba drinking alcohol, it's a gradual process.
00:08:20.920Yes, we're talking about Tawheed and that alcohol is different, I understand that.
00:08:24.520The point is what? We cannot come and say that anybody that votes becomes a kafir.
00:08:29.040This is an extreme view some brothers hold, which it can be their opinion, that's good, but to now negate the other side and say they're kafir, that's another thing.
00:08:38.760And another thing is for that matter is for example ignorance, there might be people, there are people who are ignorant, they might not know.
00:08:44.440So you cannot come and see somebody who's bowing down to something and you have to ask them, do you understand what are you doing here is a form of Ibadah, it's a form of worship and you're doing it, you need to clarify, ask him does he know, yes?
00:08:57.480So there's so many elements, the way this young boy is talking, like I said, Allah is zealous, the love he has for Allah SWT, the deen, Tawheed, I understand, but what he's saying is sadly battle, not true.
00:09:08.760It is not true. If he holds that opinion, he can, but then you're going to do mass takfir, that means everybody in Turkey, all the Muslim nations who are involved in democracy, they are all kafir, everyone's a kafir, it's a chain reaction of, you know, chain takfir.
00:09:23.300Yes, this person if he does that is a kafir, therefore they do it, they are all kafir, their blood is halal and the chain reaction continues.
00:09:31.300So for him to declare there's millions of Muslims in Turkey who know that hukum is for Allah SWT and they prefer the Sharia, but they are doing voting because they believe Erdogan is a better candidate than before.
00:09:43.520Because before you cannot wear hijabs, etc. They are like, rather we have him in power than have some scumbag, etc.
00:09:49.180And again, look, I'm not a fan of Erdogan at all, yes, with the treatment of the Kurds and what's going on, etc.
00:09:53.160I'll be very, very clear for that matter, at all, yes, with the Kurds and persecution going on, I'm not a fan at all.
00:09:58.360And a lot of people talk about Palestinians and we should, but sadly Turkey doesn't seem to the Kurds, you know, not in the same manner, but still.
00:10:05.240So this is very important for us to touch upon. So I would say in a nutshell that this is why we should be careful for young people to please do not talk about matters that is above your head.
00:10:15.020This is the biggest phenomenon we have, young people zealous who love the deen, talking matters of halal and haram.
00:10:22.160And then he talks about the companion who, when he asked, he mentioned that, yeah, I forgot his name, yeah, Adi ibn Abu Balta, if I'm not mistaken.
00:10:31.460Yes, and he said, oh, and he said that they used to make halal haram.
00:10:36.680Yes, because he said, did you not take them when they used to worship your rabbis?
00:10:40.520He said, how did we, we never worshiped our rabbis.
00:10:42.160He said, did you not take what they said, halal as halal and haram as haram?
00:10:44.740He said, yeah, and that's how you used to worship them.
00:10:47.300Well, then if you look at the matter now, this young boy, he's falling into this.
00:10:50.740Why? Because he's now talking about matters of halal and haram.
