00:00:00.000 asalaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends welcome to this
00:00:23.160 video now this video is going to be in inshallah interesting informative and there'll be a lot
00:00:29.020 of clarity inshallah on my stance on certain matters now guys before you guys watch this
00:00:33.840 video i would really appreciate if you can watch all the way through if you're going to watch this
00:00:37.220 for two minutes three minutes and five minutes or whatever it may be and turn off and jump to
00:00:41.760 assumptions it's best if you don't watch it but i would prefer that you watch it in full now guys
00:00:46.620 there's a few questions that people ask me and they've always asked me regarding certain things
00:00:50.600 that i do now when it comes to advising public figures out there uh etc now they ask me questions
00:00:56.020 like why do i do what i do you know what is the reason why do you have to mention another youtuber
00:01:01.380 another brother by name what is the reason a lot of questions people ask this question and i genuinely
00:01:05.760 want to answer this so we can have a common understanding of why we do what we do now
00:01:10.220 before i start i need to make sure you guys understand my intentions of doing this video
00:01:14.200 number one is do i get paid by youtube do i make money of youtube because if i make money of youtube
00:01:19.280 then you have every right to jump to assumptions to say you know what brother ali you're just doing
00:01:23.060 these clickbaits and these videos because you get paid by youtube you want views and by making by
00:01:28.080 getting these views you get paid so what we're going to do is we're going to i'm going to show
00:01:31.340 you guys every single youtube video of mine and show you guys do i make a single penny on youtube
00:01:36.400 yeah so let's just quickly go through that yeah as you can see on the screen guys that from all of my
00:01:41.960 videos as i scroll down you can see very clearly that i do not make a penny on youtube and i don't want
00:01:48.020 to make a penny on youtube that's my personal preference and um so that's clear for you guys
00:01:53.200 now now that we've overcome that and you've seen that that this is not about uh money now the second
00:01:58.840 question you could say to me is brother ali okay you're not doing it for money you're doing it for
00:02:02.000 fame now with that there's nothing i can show you with analytics that i'm not doing it for fame but i
00:02:08.160 have the quran in front of me and this is the book of allah yeah and we try to live by it as much as
00:02:12.940 possible we're not perfect but i'm telling you guys on this very video that i swear by allah
00:02:18.140 if i am doing this video for fame if i'm doing this for fame wallahi by allah yeah i'm not taking
00:02:25.160 it off by the quran i'm taking it off by allah but i have the quran in my hand yeah i just want to
00:02:30.300 tell you guys that i'm saying i take an oath by allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that i'm not doing this
00:02:34.160 for fame so now two things are very clear am i doing it for money i've shown you you guys you've seen
00:02:39.680 yourself i don't get paid number two am i doing it for fame i've swore by allah and if a believer
00:02:44.520 swears by allah you have to believe him you have no option if you do not believe him you have a
00:02:49.140 problem within yourself now that we've overcome these two let's move forward let's move forward
00:02:54.200 to um uh why i'm doing this video now guys brother khalid is a brother that i met maybe around
00:03:03.520 eight nine nine months ago nine ten months ago he's when i first met him he's a lovely brother yeah
00:03:09.340 i have i have nothing bad to say about the brother and his character when i first met him
00:03:14.080 i've seen nothing but good from the brother his akhlaq his manners the way he is and like obviously
00:03:18.980 from what i've seen the brother practices mashallah may allah bless him he does good reminders etc
00:03:23.240 if the brother called me if he need anything any kind of help wallahi i'm here for him and his team
00:03:28.220 you know as a brother he's my he's another brother in islam and i i love him for the sake of allah
00:03:34.280 it's nothing personal and brother khalid knows this right but all of us make mistakes i make a
00:03:40.440 lot of mistakes in my private life in my public life i make a lot of mistakes i'm not perfect the
00:03:44.780 reason i'm doing this video is not to show i'm perfect and brother khalid is not perfect this is
00:03:48.900 not my intention to bring him down it's not my intentions but unfortunately wait when we make
00:03:53.500 these mistakes in public this is when the problem comes because when these issues are made in public
00:03:58.860 and we have a following as a youtuber myself i have to be very careful to who i work with you
00:04:04.180 know and this doesn't mean it's because i'm righteous it's not that i'm in the dawah if i go
00:04:08.700 and work with another individual let's say for example i work with a brother who's on youtube who
00:04:13.600 goes clubbing who smokes he's with girls etc if i'm chilling with him you're gonna think brother ali
00:04:18.440 is chilling with him he's doing these bad things so brother ali is okay with it so the thing here is
00:04:24.180 guys is that it's a i have to clarify my stance on it now guys about five months ago five and a half
00:04:30.540 months ago brother khalid got in contact with me regarding working together on a video and i was i
00:04:35.640 was happy i was happy to work with him i just said aki i'll come to birmingham so i traveled to birmingham
00:04:39.400 i went to see brother khalid now as i went there obviously we was waiting for the brother mashallah
00:04:43.800 may allah bless him he came we spoke now before we started to work together i had to make something
00:04:48.440 very clear i told brother khalid look my brother look may allah bless you i've seen your work i've shared
00:04:53.600 your work i like your works now i said brother uh brother khalid we're gonna do a video together
00:04:57.920 obviously before we do i said please forgive me for asking this but it's just for my own clarity
00:05:01.280 i just said brother khalid do you believe music to be permissible this was my question because
00:05:05.040 obviously he was doing nashiz etc i had to clarify my point because i specifically asked because i
00:05:10.020 did not want to be in this dilemma today that i am and this is the reason why i am here because
00:05:14.020 i did this video with him and he said to me as far as i can remember as far as i can remember
00:05:19.180 um he clearly said to me that he doesn't believe music to be permissible this is what i remember
00:05:28.260 this is what i remember and uh i might be mistaken but i am very sure along those lines but one thing
00:05:35.100 that i'm really certain about is brother khalid said the reason why he abstains from music is because
00:05:40.280 he affects his nafs this is what he told me yeah and i thought look mashallah the brothers you know
00:05:44.340 he's he's been honest and he's been sincere he's he's telling me this he said that it affects his
00:05:47.760 nafs and i said okay look i think that's normal because you know music for me back in the day
00:05:52.420 his music i know how it was i never did drugs i never drank alcohol you know i never did like
00:05:56.960 you know ecstasy or whatever you may call it but one thing that played the big role in my life
00:06:01.380 was music music was like my drug you know and forgive me for mentioning this it's just so you guys
00:06:06.700 can remember when i would go to these evil places or nightclubs or whatever it may be
00:06:10.000 music would take me to another dimension and that's why i believe this is the reason why i
00:06:15.660 believe music is haram majority of the scholars out there they believe it's haram you know so
00:06:21.840 that's why i understood where he came when he said he affects my nafs because i knew where he's coming
00:06:25.960 from i've been there so i understood brother and i said look akim may allah bless you you've clarified
00:06:29.300 that to me i have no problem working with you so basically we did a halal dining with a brother
00:06:34.200 i pushed it out i've been propagating uh brother khalid uh since then some of the works that he does
00:06:39.260 now guys i don't know if you guys remember but i released a video on youtube about a couple of
00:06:43.880 months ago called muslim youtuber starter pack i did this video to show like guys there's a
00:06:50.180 responsibility that comes with it you know keep that in mind that these viewers these young brothers
00:06:54.900 watching this are going to be affected now when you go into the video i'm going to show you guys
00:06:59.240 right now we're going to watch it together i go through the part of association and um funnily enough
00:07:04.700 i actually mentioned brother khalid why i don't associate myself with everybody now as a youtuber
00:07:11.600 is so important for me to know who i'm working with now example i'm going to give is and i've
00:07:16.820 asked the brother's uh permission as well may allah bless him his brother khalid he's a new youtuber
00:07:20.600 and i follow this stuff you know and obviously uh i follow this stuff and i i personally found the
00:07:27.120 brother sincere i found him sincere i found his akhlaq his adab on point the brother this and may allah
00:07:32.320 keep him firm on that may allah keep him firm on that yeah now i personally believe music is
00:07:36.320 haram i i personally believe music is haram yeah so i i spoke to brother khalid met brother khalid
00:07:41.860 and we was planning on doing a video now before i did this video and the brother knows as well i said
00:07:45.620 look akhi yeah you're my brother i love you in the you're my brother i love you if you need anything
00:07:50.560 whatever i will try my best to help you but in the public scene akhi we need to understand something
00:07:54.700 that i said to him akhi do you believe music is permissible and this is not me saying hey you need to
00:07:59.560 believe that this is just saying look akhi i believe it's impermissible what's your opinion
00:08:03.160 because if we're going to work together and you don't mind using music then what happens is not
00:08:07.540 that you're a bad person but if you think that is correct and you want to put that out then people
00:08:13.120 are going to think okay music is okay brother ali work do you get what i'm trying to say and we came
00:08:16.440 to an agreement etc and i thought akhi i have no problem working with you now guys as you saw for
00:08:21.840 yourself in that video this was done four or five months ago that i clearly say when it comes to
00:08:27.000 association why we have to be careful who we work with and i give an example of khalid because
00:08:31.460 with khalid you know i i spoke to him etc i asked him does he believe music is permissible he said no
00:08:36.860 and i started working with him now the issue here is this brothers and sisters brother khalid has come
00:08:42.400 to change his opinion on certain matters um what i can say on a big matters big matters which i'm not
00:08:49.480 going to go into detail which i disagree with brother khalid even though other youtubers started doing
00:08:52.860 videos against brother uh khalid and advising him etc i took a stand back and i said you know what
00:08:58.860 i need to observe look i've got the brother's number i can call him i can speak with him i can
00:09:03.060 meet with him we can talk and we had i had an agreement with brother khalid i said look brother
00:09:07.320 khalid yeah let's let's just have an agreement so we both have come to understand again you now
00:09:11.340 believe music is permissible now you put me in a tight spot i'm in a corner now yeah i'm in a corner
00:09:15.220 where i asked you specifically my brother do you believe music is permissible he said no now i don't blame you
00:09:19.140 now you've changed your opinion okay i don't blame you but you need to understand that's going
00:09:23.360 to have an impact on me because i've worked with you i have to de-associate myself and say look
00:09:28.020 brother khalid may allah bless him he does good works etc maybe maybe but i am not a part of that
00:09:34.040 and i i just de-associate myself right and this is the video i'm doing today i have to do this video
00:09:40.120 now our agreement was brother khalid you bring your teacher that says music is permissible i'll bring
00:09:44.940 my teacher we look at the evidences and we go from there and i said brother khalid if you can
00:09:49.400 genuinely show me that music is permissible i'm ready to join you on your journey with music i'll
00:09:54.460 be in your videos music videos whatever you like yeah but if it's not my brother i believe you're
00:09:59.340 sincere and you will leave this opinion that music is permissible the prophet muhammad peace be upon him
00:10:03.300 said there will come a time a certain people in my umma will make zina music silk and alcohol
00:10:10.060 permissible now the fact that these are all mentioned in this category shows you the severity
00:10:15.520 prophet muhammad peace be upon him or neither of his companions none of them listen to music
00:10:18.940 especially of the ones today you know we've got individuals coming up and using uh musical
00:10:24.440 backgrounds with some halal words and think it's permissible it's not don't play with allah
00:10:27.900 subhanallah's religion don't play you know just say if you know it's not permissible it's not
00:10:32.260 permissible there's no reason of working your way around it etc but me and uh brother khalid had an
00:10:38.660 agreement for our teachers to meet unfortunately i was in contact with this team and they said that
00:10:43.180 they were ready to meet uh my teacher in around october i said okay that's not a problem that's
00:10:47.460 fine uh my teacher's happy to do that however as due time came uh due to many maybe it's my job to
00:10:53.520 assume the best that maybe their teacher was busy he said that they you know they want to meet me first
00:10:57.440 and then after meeting me first they want to meet uh my teacher so obviously i was okay with that but
00:11:03.560 then i was like look we're longing things out can we just meet and let's see if this matter is as
00:11:08.000 clear as you say you know because i'd strongly believe music is haram you know but i was just
00:11:12.320 saying look if i go there let's see because i believed like you know if i go there and show
00:11:16.100 the evidence is that brother khalid is sincere i've seen from using music however that didn't happen
00:11:22.160 now i don't want to go too much in detail i'm going to put a link for islam q a which will clearly show
00:11:26.880 you why music is not permissible why it is haram now bearing this in mind a lot of people were
00:11:32.320 approaching me and saying brother ali why don't you make your stance clear look the brother's you know
00:11:36.040 starting to use musical instruments now that put me in an awkward situation because i was like
00:11:40.600 halid my brother like in my head i was thinking i told you this before you know but you know you're
00:11:45.200 going down the street he put me in this in a very tight position i spoke to my teachers you know they
00:11:49.900 said look just give it some time speak with him i tried my best however about i think a week ago a
00:11:56.500 couple of days ago brother halid released a video now in this video
00:12:00.400 it it it really like it was like the last straw for me like because i had to think to myself okay
00:12:08.020 what am i going to do now because now halid is outright promoting music sufi music you know
00:12:14.260 now i said let me just listen to it let me listen to it and hopefully it's not as bad as i think
00:12:18.780 now brother halid is playing this video he's doing a reaction he's doing a reaction yeah i think he's
00:12:24.600 indirectly promoting it he's doing a reaction video to it now i had two issues like the first one i didn't
00:12:30.220 really know what the lady was talking about um i didn't really get a chance to even really understand
00:12:34.180 it however the second one is of a kawali kind of type of music now brother says i want us both
00:12:41.260 to just watch that for a second right now the fact that there's this lady in there allah says in the
00:12:47.560 quran don't even come near zina don't even come near it meaning if you know it's here work your way
00:12:55.880 around it that meaning go around the block just to avoid it but if you look in in the music video
00:13:01.960 you've got a woman amongst men clapping singing saying ali ali ali for example now this is like an
00:13:08.440 invitation what what you're trying to basically say that like indirectly is free mixing is okay it's
00:13:13.500 okay let's come together with sisters and brothers and uh you know just do whatever you like you know
00:13:19.800 because you need to understand music and zina play hand to hand i've seen this in my jahiliya i've seen
00:13:25.300 it in nightclubs women and men alcohol uh music what did the prophet peace upon him say there will
00:13:32.040 come a time where alcohol music and zina will be permissible so i'm asking you guys imagine look
00:13:37.120 once again i'll repeat in a nightclub what do you need what are the ingredients for disaster
00:13:40.280 alcohol music free mixing so guys i'm just kindly asking that brother khalid maybe unintentionally
00:13:46.540 put this out there please for the sake of allah my brother just take it down and inshallah look if
00:13:51.360 you believe music is permissible then make it clear for the people your stance on the matter so people
00:13:56.380 are aware because if you do nashid my brother saying that there is no musical instruments now
00:14:01.180 people are a bit confused because you're saying like you know you put some musical instruments some
00:14:05.280 places you don't like what's the purpose behind it if i believe music i'm gonna say guys i believe
00:14:10.540 music is permissible that's it that's my stance so then people can say you know what i don't want to
00:14:14.740 listen to music any of these videos can come up with music i'm gonna abstain so my brother khalid
00:14:19.260 please may allah grant you jannah may allah bless you please let's just be clear on this matter on
00:14:23.520 that video brothers and sisters this kawali music is being played now i had two issues with this before
00:14:29.200 a third major thing arise in this video now there is music being played number one yeah now i am thinking
00:14:38.680 in my head i wanted to meet brother khalid things have been prolonged now brother khalid is going and
00:14:42.980 outright propagating music yeah like again i am not here to belittle the brother in any shape or
00:14:47.900 form but i just want to show you the dangers of music you can see brother khalid is starting to
00:14:50.660 nod his head right he's he's nodding his head now this is one of the effects that music has on your
00:14:55.140 brain it has on your body you can't help but move yourself you know now brother khalid as you can see
00:15:01.460 on the video wow this is before i come to the video he is starting to dance now once this is going on you
00:15:07.160 can see brother khalid he's starting to move his body now brothers and sisters what kind of impression
00:15:14.180 is that given to his viewers what kind of impression is it given to his viewers now before i get back
00:15:19.980 get into the video i want to play a short video scientifically showing you guys something from
00:15:25.720 uh from science that how the music has an effect on your brain let's watch that and understand and
00:15:31.400 we're going to come back straight to this what i'm saying is your brain treats music differently in
00:15:36.040 fact at the peak emotional time during a song dopamine is released in the brain striatum this
00:15:41.340 is the same neurotransmitter involved in more tangible pleasures like food sex and drugs and
00:15:47.160 apparently rock and roll even more along with the peak emotional times dopamine is also released
00:15:51.940 during the anticipation of these times so basically listening to music and your brain is encouraging
00:15:57.780 you to keep doing it through the release of dopamine now we know the quran and sunnah tells us music
00:16:04.480 is haram right music is not permissible yes science backs that up yeah we don't need science to back
00:16:12.000 it up but science is there telling you it has an effect on your body yeah so my first issue is this
00:16:16.400 the fact that music has this effect on your body it's like a high that it gives you which i believe
00:16:21.260 that which is one of the reasons i believe it's haram now let's go to the video brothers and sisters
00:16:25.980 in the video we've got a group of people that they are chanting something ali ali yeah now there is a
00:16:32.360 female amongst them playing this music musical instrument and singing along this is free mixing
00:16:38.240 brother halid you yourself don't free mix as far as i know you don't free mix my brother yeah
00:16:44.420 you are pushing this out there number two music akia the matter of music akia we asked and we pleaded
00:16:51.600 with you to sit down let's talk about the matter and look into the evidences yeah but before you're
00:16:55.600 doing that and you don't see the clear-cut evidences from our side you are propagating this my brother
00:17:00.300 and especially when i've talked to you yeah now what is more disturbing is this my brothers and sisters
00:17:04.560 because once i showed this to my teacher he said to me this group you know does these kind of kawali
00:17:12.500 things and some of it or most of it is ship now obviously a lot of you guys are gonna be like
00:17:17.760 oh come on brother ali ship now now you're going and you're going to something else yeah
00:17:21.840 now brothers and sisters if i said to you guys i believe allah is my lord yes i live for allah
00:17:27.860 allah is a master allah is the master and i do zikr in allah's name like i lose myself
00:17:33.760 would you have a problem with that statement would you say to me brother ali why are you saying that no
00:17:39.260 however what if i told you guys staff allah woulda be lamina shaitan rajim if i said to you guys
00:17:45.520 i live for ali ali is a master ali is the master and basically i do zikr in his name
00:17:56.860 now anyone that has some understanding of shirk will understand the fitra rejecting that saying whoa
00:18:03.920 hold on a second what do you mean ali is the master what do you mean i live for ali what do you mean
00:18:07.600 i do zikr in ali's name now this is the same group that does this and i have spoken to brother
00:18:12.920 khalid and his team and i kindly kindly kindly actually begged and pleaded and said please
00:18:19.480 would you take that video down my brother and do a clarification however due to certain circumstances
00:18:27.620 whatever they said that brother khalid did not play any part of shirk or whatever it may be
00:18:34.740 you know they said that you know that bit brother khalid cut out or something like that
00:18:38.560 now brothers and sisters i want to show you guys for your very own self let's watch with our own very
00:18:44.300 own eyes to what statements these individuals are uttering i am intoxicated with the kalender
00:18:52.540 it has made all things oblivious with the repetition of ali ali i am intoxicated with the kalender
00:19:04.600 and i live for him through the state of intoxication if not today then tomorrow everyone will have to say
00:19:12.920 ali ali ali everything is annihilated in him and i am intoxicated with the kalender ali is my master ali is
00:19:24.260 the master and i live for him i live for him through the state of complete annihilation i'm intoxicated with
00:19:33.320 the kalender now guys you saw that with your very own eyes now my first issue was with the music and the
00:19:39.160 free mixing yeah and the fact that brother khalid is not only propagating that indirectly and the fact
00:19:44.880 that he's saying when i feel down when i feel like you know down i'm going to play that you know to get
00:19:50.980 me back into the uh uh whatever it may be yeah whatever it may be yeah now i have an issue with that
00:19:56.300 not only that but the fact that these individuals are they're saying words of kufur is this is shirk
00:20:02.280 this is shirk now brothers and sisters i want you guys to hold on i want to open a recitation of the quran
00:20:08.000 yeah and this is and i don't mean to like attack anyone in a shape or form yeah but though for those of you
00:20:14.500 who have heard that kawali group playing what they're playing i'm not going to play it for you guys
00:20:18.940 what kind of impact it has on your heart yeah and i'm not saying this that brother khalid doesn't
00:20:24.740 listen to quran i'm not seeing that at all i just want you guys to understand where i'm coming from
00:20:28.340 now i want you guys to listen to this quran verse brothers and sisters and tell me what effect
00:20:32.740 that he has in your heart let's listen together inshallah
00:20:34.480 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
00:20:37.320 وقال اركبوا فيها بسم الله مجريها ومرساها إن ربي لغفور رحيم
00:20:49.860 وهي تجري بهم في موج كالجبال وهي تجري بهم في موج كالجبال ونادى نوح لابنه وكان في معزل
00:21:09.300 يَا بُنَي يَرْكَمْ مَعْنَا وَلَا تَكُمْ مَعَ الْكَافِرِينَ
00:21:22.720 قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَى جَبَلٍ يَحْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْمَاةِ
00:21:30.760 Now guys we heard it for ourselves
00:21:32.820 Wallahi the quran is the medicine for the heart
00:21:35.820 Ibn Kayim said music and quran can't be in the same heart
00:21:39.640 It cannot be in the same heart
00:21:41.360 Now guys you listened for yourself
00:21:44.080 Now I'm not trying to have a dig at brother Khalid
00:21:47.700 I'm not trying to have a go at him
00:21:49.040 And I truly hope that he's not upset with me
00:21:51.140 I'm only doing this for the sake of Allah
00:21:52.520 For you guys not to be misguided unintentionally
00:21:55.000 I'm not saying brother Khalid goes out there and does this intentionally
00:21:56.980 Now to say that when I feel down
00:22:00.500 I want to listen to this
00:22:01.460 Like I'm not trying to nitpick
00:22:03.860 But brothers and sisters when we are feeling down
00:22:06.140 I think the quran is the best remedy for us
00:22:08.300 The word of Allah is the best remedy for us
00:22:10.520 Now I'm not going to act all pious and say
00:22:11.960 I listen to quran 24-7
00:22:13.020 Yes I listen to nasheed
00:22:13.920 I believe nasheed is permissible
00:22:15.200 Those who don't have shirk
00:22:16.840 Don't have bida
00:22:18.360 That don't have music and foul language
00:22:20.180 Right
00:22:20.520 This is another topic
00:22:21.800 But this is what I believe
00:22:22.860 But now
00:22:24.380 Quran is something else brothers and sisters
00:22:26.680 So something that contains
00:22:28.620 Or for example is from a group
00:22:30.060 That shirk
00:22:30.440 And let's see
00:22:31.120 I know brother Khalid unintentionally put that out there
00:22:33.600 But if it's done unintentionally
00:22:35.620 Why is it so hard just to delete that video
00:22:37.920 And just clarify
00:22:39.200 Because this is shirk
00:22:40.200 This is not something
00:22:40.900 It's not like a little joke thing guys
00:22:42.480 Shirk is something that can
00:22:43.680 If you die upon shirk
00:22:45.240 It's end off for you
00:22:46.320 This is end off
00:22:47.580 It's the biggest sin in Islam
00:22:49.460 Now if I was to put anything
00:22:51.720 Indicating a little bit of shirk
00:22:53.760 I have to take that down
00:22:55.460 And clarify it for the people
00:22:56.640 So I'm just asking brother Khalid
00:22:58.100 Please
00:22:58.520 For the sake of Allah
00:22:59.720 If he can
00:23:00.240 Please take this video down
00:23:01.500 So guys
00:23:02.000 Hope you have benefited
00:23:02.740 Please share this video
00:23:03.640 Inshallah
00:23:03.920 So other people can benefit
00:23:04.880 My stance is clear on this matter
00:23:06.200 I totally disagree
00:23:07.120 With certain things brother Khalid's doing
00:23:09.200 And I free myself from that
00:23:10.700 Not in an arrogant way
00:23:11.860 So hope you guys have benefited
00:23:13.860 Once again
00:23:14.500 Inshallah
00:23:15.480 May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:23:16.060 Grant every single one of you guys
