00:00:00.000 great to meet you assalamu alaikum it's great to meet you as well how are you i'm good alhamdulillah
00:00:06.160 it's uh a pleasure to meet you you have made a lot of waves really quickly in the dabble world
00:00:11.040 and the debate world unanimously great performance on that 20v1 and i was surprised i thought you were
00:00:17.200 much older and then we found out that you're you're 20 years old so very knowledgeable and
00:00:21.680 may allah reward you and continue your successful work i mean ya rabbi i appreciate it genuinely
00:00:28.240 Yeah. The 20B1 was crazy. Obviously, this is all like kind of new to me in terms of, you know,
00:00:33.800 like going into the Dawah scene, going out, discussing with people, seeking knowledge and
00:00:36.960 all that stuff. But alhamdulillah, you know, great, great experience. I'm glad that a lot
00:00:40.620 of people are being guided through it. What's your background? How did you become so knowledgeable?
00:00:48.120 I mean, I've kind of been hanging out or hanging around, I guess, people that have been very
00:00:53.100 familiar with the Dawah scene, people that kind of knew people that were higher ups. I've been
00:00:57.400 looking up to a lot of people that are kind of pioneers of the scene and I gradually kind of
00:01:03.720 just started studying on my own and only as of maybe six months ago I started taking it seriously
00:01:09.080 and making content and trying to essentially grow a space where not only you know Muslims can come
00:01:14.680 and seek knowledge and non-Muslims can come and have discussions and ask questions about Istanbul
00:01:19.240 also specifically so women who are confused can come and ask questions because if you've noticed
00:01:25.720 on social media, I'm sure the vast majority of people have noticed as well, a lot of the
00:01:28.520 propaganda against Islam is pertaining to women. And there aren't necessarily women in the scene
00:01:34.600 that are going out of their way to clarify all these issues and refute all of these arguments 1.00
00:01:38.980 and so on. So I kind of, in a way, took it upon myself to try and be that representative of that.
00:01:43.300 I just saw a tweet from a congressman saying that if Islam allows for women to be covered
00:01:48.400 in burqas in this heat, then they should be stopped. And that this is horrible. And this
00:01:53.180 is a demonic religion i'm sure you saw this woman go on tiktok saying that the call to prayer is
00:01:59.260 demonic and she's not even translating it properly the call to prayer is saying come to prayer come 0.96
00:02:02.780 to success god is great and it's like we are going to destroy the kufar destroy they don't even know 1.00
00:02:07.580 how to read properly so it's great to see uh you push back on that because that's what they love 1.00
00:02:12.840 to say they're like islam is not compatible with western values so what is only fans so what's the 0.98
00:02:17.360 alternative. Women choose to cover themselves. It's not mandatory to wear a burqa or a niqab. 1.00
00:02:23.220 This is a choice. And the hijab for women is also a choice to cover. They lie and say that 0.85
00:02:27.940 they're forcefully covered. This is not true. It comes from the women's decision. So
00:02:33.100 it's important that you're doing work like this. Yeah, no, of course. And alhamdulillah,
00:02:39.480 I'm really glad to, I guess, be in a position where I'm capable of, you know, having some sort
00:02:43.980 push and being able to combat you know like the anti-islamic rhetoric that has been pushing so
00:02:48.560 much as of recent as you said like we see all over twitter all over instagram over social media as a
00:02:53.440 whole and even in real life you experience it and it's really upsetting so it's glad that i'm sorry
00:02:58.520 i'm very glad and alhamdulillah you know allah has blessed me with the platform to be able to
00:03:01.880 directly combat these things so a warner's in the chat thanks for the five gifted yeah they ramped
00:03:06.940 it up and i saw a pattern where they actually don't even care about immigration because right
00:03:11.780 now, Marco Rubio is at a conference in India and he's saying, yeah, the Indians can assimilate.
00:03:16.980 Indians can come in. It's like, wait, aren't you guys anti-immigration? And then you look at the
00:03:20.400 Tommy Robinson protests and they say, oh, save Britain, put Britain first. But then they have
00:03:23.960 Koreans putting bacon on their shoulder. They have Nigerians speaking. They have Irish priests 0.98
00:03:28.600 coming on. You're like, OK, there's all these immigrants, people from around the world.
00:03:32.320 The only common denominator is that they hate Islam. It's not actually anti-immigration.
00:03:36.200 they are united on hating our faith and the truth so this needs to be pushed back they need to have
00:03:43.520 people pushing back against this very obvious uh all these very obvious lies exactly yeah it's
00:03:51.500 really unfortunate that all of these people they don't unite upon the love for their own world
00:03:56.320 views and the love for their own religion and the knowledge that they have in their own religion 0.95
00:03:59.840 they all unite upon the fact that they despise islam and it's so upsetting to see because 0.90
00:04:06.400 a world view that's fueled in hate is never going to be a world view that's going to succeed
00:04:09.840 right when we see the muslims they're uniting they're uniting upon the fact that they love
00:04:13.360 islam they don't unite upon the fact that they hate christianity or they hate atheism or they
00:04:17.200 hate all of this like all these different world views they all unite because they hold the same 0.97
00:04:20.960 beliefs about their religion and their love for their religion and we see on the opposite side
00:04:25.440 they hate they hate islam and that's exactly what they unite upon it's insane yeah there's that one
00:04:29.920 debater that uh the christian debater that you know i don't have negative things to say but i
00:04:33.840 was wondering if i should bring him on maybe try to bring some unity between christians and muslims
00:04:37.520 i saw his bio and it just says debating muslims every day and i've never seen a day i've never
00:04:42.240 seen somebody successful within islam make their entire platform centered around talking about
00:04:46.640 another faith it's about disbelievers but these people just unite it's the perfect example when
00:04:52.000 ramadan happens when ramadan is near everyone starts spamming christ as king or you have the
00:04:56.960 tommy robinson protest and they pick up a crucifix immediately the protest is over they go to the pub
00:05:02.160 they are only christian not all christians because the pope is saying great things i'm not trying to 0.97
00:05:06.240 put disrespect to catholics but many of these types they're only christian just to hate muslims 0.95
00:05:11.920 and they don't really understand why yeah no it's it's really sad to see and i do agree with what 0.91
00:05:17.920 you just said actually a lot of these people they they do only really become christians the second
00:05:23.280 islam is brought into the question because they want to kind of directly combat that sense of you 0.86
00:05:27.760 mentioned unity earlier like they want to combat that sense of unity that muslims have amongst
00:05:32.240 each other right um obviously not to mention you know unity amongst religions you know like i
00:05:38.080 personally i know a lot of christians that i've seen in real life and they're they're chill people
00:05:41.520 right they're good people they're not necessarily people that hate islam and whatever it may be
00:05:45.280 they're kind to me and they're respectful towards me so i show respect to them as well right
00:05:49.040 but we especially see it online amongst people that want to spread anti-islamic propaganda and
00:05:53.840 so on it's really upsetting to see the amount of hate that islam has um and especially in the media
00:06:03.040 and the fact that people hate islam so much that they will change their own world views and they
00:06:08.480 will bend over backwards and essentially grift just so they can find a way to hate it more
00:06:12.160 mm-hmm yeah i have a recent debate with uh this hip-hop commentator he was talking about how it's
00:06:17.840 musty to pray five times a day started off saying like i'm a christian and then literally in the
00:06:22.160 debate denounced christianity thinks organized religion is bs says that he creates his own
00:06:28.960 but all this changes just to fit against islam and why i think it's important where i could see
00:06:34.960 your career going potentially is the rise in interest in islam from people like candace owens
00:06:39.760 and tucker carlson so if you have the capability to speak to candace because she seems open-minded
00:06:44.260 and they're realizing the propaganda of the lies and i saw from tucker he's speaking about the
00:06:48.740 eucharist he seems to think it's ridiculous that in catholicism you're supposed to drink the blood
00:06:53.060 of jesus that you're supposed to eat god and drink his blood no disrespect but he was saying that
00:06:57.680 that sounded crazy and candace owens she's having conversation with bass and yusuf i think that she
00:07:03.160 would be receptive to speak to somebody like you yeah no and i would i would love to have that
00:07:08.380 conversation i'd be honored to have a conversation with candace owens sit down with her you know
00:07:12.560 discuss not necessarily debate because i i don't think that debating is necessarily an effective
00:07:17.080 way to convey the message of islam um but you know sit down and have a real conversation with her
00:07:22.260 and i would love to and anybody that is in a similar position as her i would love to have
00:07:26.820 any conversation with any woman or whatever it may be that's interested in the message of islam
00:07:31.800 and genuinely wants to learn yeah somebody like anna kasparian could be great as well and you
00:07:36.100 mentioned that you were studying other dyes and you were increasing your knowledge and it's
00:07:40.280 impressive. It's, uh, it's almost intimidating. I'm hearing that debate. I'm like, Ooh, I got a
00:07:43.980 lot of work to do. I recently met with Dr. Zakhar Nayak. Have you researched him?
00:07:48.640 Yeah, he's actually one of the people that, um, when I was younger growing up, I heard a lot about
00:07:53.600 obviously like a larger speaker, larger scale than I am right now. And a lot, nobody, you know,
00:07:58.900 has a larger reach than him right in the past, like what, 20, 30 years. It's insane. Um, I have
00:08:05.620 heard of him and it's it's very nice they actually got to meet him and you know speak to him and so
00:08:09.120 on he's a fountain of knowledge so who are you drawing inspiration from who would you credit so
00:08:14.600 that we can all increase our knowledge it's a hajj is coming up and may all accept it you've
00:08:19.160 mentioned the fact that we're united islam is growing it's the fastest growing religion in the
00:08:22.240 world it's inspiring to see these people all the pilgrims in hajj millions and millions of muslims
00:08:26.700 no matter how much propaganda they try to push out there we keep on growing so to increase our
00:08:31.800 knowledge in these times who else could you credit i mean obviously um to increase islamic
00:08:37.120 knowledge obviously quran and sunnah that's like the foundational you know books but in terms of
00:08:41.180 people that you can listen to uh to the people that i personally like um moving up and growing
00:08:46.540 up in the scene obviously because i'm on the younger side two of the main people that i really
00:08:50.600 do think are extremely knowledgeable are the brother of the orthodox muslim some people might
00:08:54.400 know him as libiano and uh a sister who i'm actually quite close to her name's itachi
00:08:59.360 um she's doing something very similar to me and she knows so much and I take a lot of inspiration
00:09:05.440 from her so those two people are amazing influences in terms of Islamic knowledge
00:09:09.960 and are you're of Sudanese background yes I am Sudanese yes okay and you're were you born in
00:09:17.960 Sudan are you American I'm not sure about your background no I was born and raised in the states
00:09:22.640 I've never left the United States okay so are Sudanese this is an age-old debate are they black
00:09:28.100 or Arab? I don't know. Whatever somebody wants to identify as, I don't really care for all that
00:09:35.680 stuff, you know? But it doesn't matter. Obviously, this is not important. What divides so many
00:09:39.980 people is their attachment to race and tribalism, and that's what prevents them, I think. I hear
00:09:44.260 that a lot, too. I'm wondering, what's your rebuttal when people say that they don't want
00:09:47.820 to follow a brown religion, even though Indonesia is the most populated Muslim country in the world
00:09:52.300 that's an Asian country? Exactly. Yeah, no. Obviously, you direct them to what the Prophet 0.98
00:09:57.600 Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, no black man is better than a white man. 0.94
00:10:00.680 No white man is better than a black man. 0.78
00:10:01.960 No Arab is better than a non-Arab. 0.98
00:10:03.160 No non-Arab is better than an Arab. 0.99
00:10:04.660 Allah judges these people based on their taqwa and what's in their heart. 0.57
00:10:07.760 Allah doesn't care about somebody's race. 0.51
00:10:09.660 Islam is not a religion for Arabs.
00:10:11.080 Islam is a religion for everybody on this earth.
00:10:14.280 Why do you think it is that women are reverting to Islam more than men? 0.76
00:10:19.340 Because oftentimes you hear people say that Islam is a masculine religion.
00:10:23.420 And obviously it is, but it's also equally a feminine religion.
00:10:25.720 I don't think people in the West understand that because of the propaganda. 0.97
00:10:29.640 But when women realize that they revert in mass numbers and in a way, maybe I'm jealous
00:10:35.660 that I can't convert as many men as I would like to because women seem to be more receptive.
00:10:39.880 Is it their open hearts?
00:10:41.120 Why are they open to this knowledge?
00:10:44.260 I think it has a lot to do with the way our society kind of portrays women, right?
00:10:50.220 I think that a lot of the way that society portrays women is that they view women as
00:10:55.160 essentially like, you know, objects or whatever it may be. Islam obviously directly combats these
00:10:59.880 things with things like hijab and all of the rights that women get in Islam. So I think a lot 1.00
00:11:04.860 of women, especially in terms of sincerity, I think that women are more receptive in that regard.
00:11:09.760 And I also think that women are realizing that Islam is not this oppressive religion that people
00:11:14.780 trying to make it seem. Islam gives women all of their rights. Islam cherishes women. Islam says
00:11:19.680 that the best of men are those who are best to their women. Islam says that you cherish your
00:11:23.380 mother three times before you cherish your father, right? Over and over again, it's painted all over
00:11:28.180 Islam, all these rights that women get. And when women come across these things, they're taken
00:11:32.600 aback because obviously growing up in the West, you think Islam is this demonic, violent religion 0.96
00:11:38.020 that oppresses women and hurts women and so on. And when they see these things, it really touches 0.97
00:11:42.000 them. How do you explain to women that Islam is not a feminist religion, but that it protects and 0.98
00:11:48.300 it actually empowers women? Many don't seem to understand that because they see women covering 0.98
00:11:52.460 themselves. But when you realize that you speak to a hijabi or a nakabi, that they are empowered
00:11:57.660 and that they are protecting themselves and that there are far more protected and connecting with 0.99
00:12:02.220 God than women that are looking for approval with their bodies and how they look. How is that, 0.95
00:12:08.600 how is that communicated to women in your dawah? Yeah. So Islam, obviously it takes a stance on
00:12:15.940 women where it doesn't essentially reach this idea that a woman's value is rooted in her appearance, 0.69
00:12:21.560 right islam doesn't teach that in fact islam teaches that a woman's value is obviously in 0.97
00:12:27.720 her taqwa right in um the way that she surrenders herself to god and she truly has trust in god and 0.96
00:12:34.760 so on and the way that you would convey this to a woman obviously is when women grow up unfortunately
00:12:39.480 within societies it is kind of ingrained into their brains that their entire identity is based
00:12:45.000 on their appearance and what they have to offer in that regard islam really redefines this it's not 0.92
00:12:50.520 feminism right um but rather it's just islam giving women their due rights that doesn't need 0.66
00:12:57.060 to be framed as feminism muslims don't need to be feminists in order to say that women have their 0.89
00:13:01.640 rights they just need to be muslims they need to follow islam for what islam says so i think when 0.98
00:13:05.620 you sit down a woman and you explain to her from a to z all that islam has to say about them it 0.99
00:13:10.680 really will touch them and they'll see well there's no need for things such as feminism or whatever it 0.86
00:13:15.600 may be because as long as you adhere to islam for what islam truly says all these other world views 0.92
00:13:20.260 are essentially inferior. How do you explain, I'm sure you will explain it better than I can, 0.85
00:13:25.400 about the importance of Aisha and education within Islam, especially the Islamic golden age
00:13:32.340 and the first universities. I'm assuming this is part of your dawah.
00:13:39.340 In terms of the Aisha specifically, you said? Well, Aisha is one of the, she is the number
00:13:44.700 one contributor for hadith and her importance changed the role that women have in education.
00:13:50.260 And the first university had a strong importance of the involvement of women.
00:13:56.480 Is this part of your explanation of Islam?
00:14:00.160 Yeah, of course.
00:14:01.180 It's actually one of the points that I really love touching on when women come to me and they ask about Islam.
00:14:06.120 Because a lot of people, when they hear Aisha's name, they immediately try and they get this negative idea in their heads.
00:14:14.320 And they don't realize all of the positive contributions that she had towards the religion.
00:14:18.180 She was one of the major contributors to hadith
00:14:20.200 We would not have the majority of our religion 1.00
00:14:22.000 If it weren't for Aisha
00:14:22.960 She was such a mighty scholar 0.99
00:14:25.100 To the point where people who met the Prophet
00:14:27.560 Peace be upon him, men face to face
00:14:29.300 When they would have a question 0.87
00:14:30.380 They would go to Aisha and she would know the answer 0.92
00:14:32.460 And obviously there were other people 0.99
00:14:35.020 Other wives of the Prophet Muhammad
00:14:36.600 That had knowledge as well 0.90
00:14:38.620 And it goes further and further down
00:14:41.080 To the generations after 0.96
00:14:42.380 And women specifically
00:14:44.040 So many women contributed to so much knowledge
00:14:46.700 within Islam all the way to what you said the first university that was made by you know a Muslim 0.62
00:14:49.760 woman right so this is a major point that I love using in my dawah when I speak with women because
00:14:55.140 it's it's very admirable to see the effects that women have had in Islam the positive effects right
00:15:01.020 I think one of the misconceptions is the Taliban they say that women are not supposed to study and
00:15:07.540 go to school this is enough guy to say that's not part of the Sharia they keep saying that oh you're
00:15:11.560 sharia supremacists they want sharia law but this is not part of islamic doctrine
00:15:17.640 yeah no and in islam seeking knowledge is encouraged right there's a hadith of the prophet
00:15:23.080 muhammad where he says the one um i'm going to paraphrase but he says the one that
00:15:28.760 goes on the path to knowledge allah makes the path to jannah easier for them right it's encouraged
00:15:34.200 for every single not not just encouraged it's required for every single muslim to seek knowledge
00:15:38.760 about their religion right and also you know for example we mentioned the islamic golden age as
00:15:43.400 you said right the islamic golden age wasn't just uh flourishing for islamic knowledge it was
00:15:48.280 flourishing for math it was flourishing for medicine all of these different contributing
00:15:52.440 factors to what we have in society today and this work this wasn't just men that were contributing
00:15:57.320 it was women as well right all of these people regardless of their gender were contributing to
00:16:02.200 math and medicine and islamic knowledge and history and all of this stuff so no islam doesn't say that
00:16:07.560 women aren't allowed to get education islam encourages education for everybody
00:16:11.880 i do want to ask you because you have debated this is what always comes up the thing that
00:16:17.640 holds people back the most oftentimes i hear two controversial questions and if you're comfortable
00:16:23.000 i want to see what your rebuttal is is the the age of asia how do you respond to this uh this push
00:16:29.960 back yeah so the age of Aisha it's a topic that a lot of people try to bring up and essentially
00:16:38.400 contend against the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him's morality the way that we understand
00:16:42.420 this is we always need to take the paradigm for all of what it says right the Aisha's age
00:16:49.940 it's reported in authentic hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari where she herself it comes out of her
00:16:54.720 mouth she says that she was six at the contract which is the equivalent of
00:16:59.800 betrothal for any person who isn't a muslim and doesn't understand what contract means it's a
00:17:04.260 betrothal so essentially the closest equivalent that we can get is a promise saying that you are 0.74
00:17:08.240 going to marry this person in the future right and nine at consummation and nine at consummation
00:17:14.180 is we can tie that back to the hadith of aisha where she explicitly says and she not only
00:17:19.780 attributes this to herself but she attributes it to the people in her time right that when somebody
00:17:25.160 hit nine a girl specifically hit nine in her age sorry in her age or in her time they would become
00:17:30.360 a woman right so she's talking specifically about her time and her place so what is disingenuous to
00:17:37.460 me is people come with this modern lens this lens of 21st century we live in the united states the
00:17:43.440 age of consent is you know varies 16 to 18 and it's not normal for people to get married at the
00:17:48.880 age of 18 let alone you know before that right so taking this understanding and you know pushing it
00:17:54.680 onto the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him's time is completely and utterly disingenuous and
00:17:58.700 another point that I like to add because the majority of the time people who bring this up
00:18:03.720 they accept the bible right they're Christians or whatever it may be they what's interesting is
00:18:09.780 Christians and specifically Judeo-Christian theology that somebody who truly upholds such
00:18:15.620 would never contend with the marriage of Aisha at her age right because the bible has a similar 0.66
00:18:22.620 criteria to what islam has for marriage right like for example in the bible we have in first
00:18:27.800 corinthians 7 verse 36 this is the new testament it says that when a girl hits the flower of her
00:18:33.520 youth or passes the flower of her youth you can marry her right and before that it mentions
00:18:38.740 betrothal before that time so according to the bible you can be betrothed to somebody before
00:18:44.720 they pass the flower of their youth and then you marry them after now what flower of their youth
00:18:50.360 here means is we can cross-reference this with the criteria that's given in the old testament
00:18:55.160 in ezekiel 16 it mentions puberty it mentions development of your body and so on so we understand
00:19:02.840 that flower of her youth is passing the age of puberty and you know menstruation and things of
00:19:08.040 this nature right which happens in late stages of puberty so we always need to take the paradigm for
00:19:13.480 what it says we need to understand the like historical context we need to understand what
00:19:17.480 what was happening in that time in that place we need to understand what Aisha's position on this
00:19:22.500 was as well right because Aisha radiallahu anha makes it very clear that she was in a happy
00:19:27.800 marriage with the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and she found him to be very beloved
00:19:31.980 she never reports him ever harming her in any way shape and or form so what we always have to do is
00:19:39.400 instead of judging this with a modern lens and purposefully trying to portray the Prophet Muhammad
00:19:44.900 to somebody who was morally incorrect or whatever it may be. We always need to accept the paradigm
00:19:50.540 for what it says and use the standard that the paradigm is applying, not our own.
00:19:55.420 It's also disingenuous for people to be like, this is not normal for modern day examples of
00:20:01.340 marriage. Because in Delaware, 150 years ago, the age of marriage was seven years old. This
00:20:05.740 is in the United States around the early 1800s. This was the same exact concept. In fact, child
00:20:11.640 marriages still occur in the United States. There's different child marriage laws. I mean,
00:20:16.040 again, it's just not even child marriage because maturity happens through puberty. This is a
00:20:20.600 universally accepted idea of adulthood. So this one's easily debunked. The second one I want to
00:20:25.660 ask you, because you answered that one well, Mashallah, is the idea of four wives, especially
00:20:31.660 because you're speaking to women. I saw Tucker even mention this, the first pushback he had about
00:20:36.540 islam he said well i want to have one wife and i think it's something about 98 percent of muscle
00:20:42.220 marriages are monogamous it's one wife and one husband but he said that polygamy is what holds
00:20:48.340 him back how do you respond when people bring this up yeah so the first thing that i want to preface
00:20:53.360 is in islam just because something is permissible it does not mean it's encouraged right islamically
00:21:00.440 it's actually encouraged to have one wife right and to stick to that that's why the ayah of the
00:21:05.180 quran it says that if you are capable obviously financially and you are capable of fulfilling all
00:21:10.960 of these women's rights whether it be financially or emotionally or whatever it may be you are 0.92
00:21:14.480 capable of having more than one and if you're incapable then stick to only one right so first
00:21:19.440 off the average person is not going to be capable to have more than one spouse right the average man
00:21:23.700 today is barely capable of taking care of themselves let alone capable of taking more 0.97
00:21:27.700 taking more than one spouse and giving them their due rights because islam says they have to be fair 0.95
00:21:31.460 to all of these spouses right so that's the first thing just because islam says something is 0.63
00:21:36.460 permissible it does not mean that it is encouraged it is encouraged islamically to have one wife
00:21:41.520 according to the majority of scholars right now the second thing is polygamy has never been
00:21:48.280 something inherently immortal not from the islamic lens not from the biblical lens nobody necessarily
00:21:55.160 had contentions with this until recently right for example even in the bible we see a multitude
00:22:00.640 of instances where prophets within the bible would have multiple spouses right for example
00:22:05.260 abraham had sarah and he had a hagar uh um what is it called uh solomon had so many wives we see
00:22:13.500 so much uh polygamy going on right and prophets of god people that are examples for mankind right
00:22:19.900 people that god picks and god never condemns them for such right in fact in the book of exodus it
00:22:26.140 explicitly says that god actually gives legislations on how to take care of multiple wives
00:22:31.880 right so god never condemns such he never says that having multiple spouses as long as you treat
00:22:39.420 them fairly and respectfully it's not an immoral thing we haven't seen this ever so obviously to
00:22:45.120 a woman if i'm speaking to a woman you can islamically you can choose not to participate
00:22:50.880 in a polygamous marriage right you have that free will you have that choice if you want to
00:22:55.900 participate in a marriage where it's just a husband and his wife, you are perfectly capable 0.76
00:23:00.720 of making that decision. And simultaneously, because we always want to apply that consistency
00:23:04.020 criteria, if we agree that everybody has the free will to choose what they want, if somebody is okay
00:23:09.120 with their spouse having more than one spouse, then who are we to contend with that? And
00:23:13.960 simultaneously, if a woman wants only for her husband to be with her and only her, we don't
00:23:17.820 contend with that either. Stan allows for both. What school of thought do you follow? Because 0.91
00:23:22.860 this is a conversation I think has become more mainstream now with the Iran war against U.S. and
00:23:29.180 Israel. They are predominantly Shia. And we see there's division and people say Shia's did this
00:23:35.320 and people cursing and this stuff. I am of the belief that there should be more unity. But this
00:23:41.980 is something interesting to me. This is a little more like high level conversation. But do you
00:23:46.580 follow the Salafi school of thought, Hanafi? What do you read the most? I'm a Sunni. Obviously,
00:23:51.660 it's a boil it down because we have this like sunni shia so i'm a sunni and i would say that
00:23:57.580 i'm a salafi sunni just means i adhere to the sunnah of the prophet muhammad peace be upon him
00:24:01.400 all salafi means is i believe in the quran and the sunnah with the understanding of the salaf
00:24:06.960 and the salaf are the final three sorry the last three generations right because we have a hadith
00:24:13.120 of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam where he speaks about his generation the generation after
00:24:17.560 and the generation after that so all salafi means is that i understand the quran and the sunnah with
00:24:22.840 these three generations that the prophet muhammad praised what brought you into the dawah world
00:24:29.880 because you don't often see somebody like you pop up like this what is the goal and what inspired
00:24:35.880 you to start doing this yeah i mean um when i was younger uh i would say like around three years ago 0.92
00:24:42.360 now i'm not mistaken i kind of was just you know the type of person just read the quran and leave
00:24:47.880 it at that right and i started coming across the apologetic scene um just you know listening to
00:24:53.880 discussions between you know muslims and christians you know muslims and atheists and so on i would
00:24:59.520 overhear the conversations and it was really appealing to me because i was always somebody
00:25:03.300 that not only wanted to believe in something but i wanted to know that what i believed in was 100
00:25:08.880 percent true and it could it could withstand criticism right so from my perspective i'm
00:25:12.940 listening to all of these discussions and it was appealing to me and i started going on tiktok i
00:25:17.660 had an account you know we all did and i would listen to lives and people would be on tiktok
00:25:22.600 lives or youtube lives and they would be sitting up there you know discussing and conveying the
00:25:27.280 message not just debating but actually giving dawah you know people would come and ask questions and
00:25:31.920 eventually i started going up on the panels and asking questions and then it went from me being
00:25:38.180 the one asking questions to me being the one answering questions. And then it kind of made me
00:25:42.480 realize, okay, well, if I'm going to be answering questions, I'm going to have to study up and have
00:25:46.260 to hit the books. So that kind of pushed me towards, you know, reading about Islam and
00:25:51.380 studying. And it kind of, this was obviously years ago and maybe six months ago now, it kind of,
00:25:57.480 I had this shift of mindset. I realized if I really, I guess, have all of this knowledge and
00:26:02.660 I want to put it to use, the least that I can do is I can, I can have a purpose in this. And
00:26:07.840 the way that i saw it is i saw the anti-islamic propaganda and not just the anti-islamic propaganda
00:26:12.300 but the propaganda against women in islam and i think okay well i'm a woman and i know about islam 0.53
00:26:18.800 and i can create a safe space where women can come and realize that their religion doesn't
00:26:25.900 oppress them their religion doesn't think of them as this inferior species species that is hated and 0.80
00:26:31.080 so on and not just that but also people realizing that women in islam do actually have a voice and 0.86
00:26:36.900 Not only do they have a voice, they have a voice to defend their religion.
00:26:42.800 What pushback have you received?
00:26:44.940 This blew up.
00:26:45.780 I'm seeing this all over.
00:26:47.840 I've seen the discussions.
00:26:49.500 We spoke about this earlier.
00:26:51.200 People criticizing this and that. 0.99
00:26:53.360 And some people bringing up the stupid things that I don't even think are worth addressing. 0.95
00:26:56.900 But what is the number one criticism that you are getting that you think needs to be debunked? 0.94
00:27:03.900 bunked uh in terms i actually as of recent thankfully there has not been a lot of criticism 0.50
00:27:12.020 from like the muslim side i'm actually very happy about that if anything it's more so from the
00:27:17.380 christians right the christians they're like it's not even just the christians just non-muslims as
00:27:22.160 a whole right um obviously with the 20v1 the reason why it's predominantly christians because
00:27:26.400 i debated 20 christians right but um i actually haven't really seen much pushback from the muslim
00:27:32.800 side and to be honest i'm not really too focused on you know muslims trying to you know have an
00:27:38.480 issue with what i'm doing or whatever it may be i'm more so focused on you know answering the
00:27:42.720 non-muslims questions and you know also just only interacting with people who are sincere right if
00:27:48.080 somebody is insincere if they want to start an argument or whatever it may be i don't really pay
00:27:51.760 them any mind i think that's the correct mindset i'm wondering if you had the same experience i've
00:27:58.080 I had a lot of these conversations. I reverted three and something years ago. Many people have
00:28:04.320 this idea of blind faith. And the differences in Islam, and you can hear from the way you speak,
00:28:08.620 is that everything is logical. You have to have faith based off of logic. Having blind faith 0.97
00:28:13.720 is ridiculous to me, and I would intellectually be incapable of doing that. For example, I'll have 0.91
00:28:19.960 a conversation with a Catholic, and I'll say, okay, what does God look like? This is one of
00:28:24.620 my favorite questions and they say well god is a being and they don't really know how to describe
00:28:30.800 it or the qualities in islam we have the 99 names of allah the all merciful the almighty the greatest
00:28:37.500 and then they'll say well god men are made in the image of god so this is a common christian
00:28:44.500 belief like men are made in the image of god so okay what is that so does god look like a man
00:28:48.560 if we are made in the image of god then god must look like a man and then they'll say well no not
00:28:53.840 exactly god's not a man but we're made in the image of him what about women are women also made
00:28:57.880 in the image of god or is it just so there is a lot of hula hoops and whenever you hit a roadblock
00:29:02.940 they end up saying well i i just believe in this and i have my faith i have my faith here
00:29:07.580 how have you gotten over that obstacle because when people seem to get to that point it's almost
00:29:15.280 like they're admitting that they think that this is their faith is ridiculous they're admitting
00:29:19.160 that it's like a fairy tale like it's a story time the way atheists describe religion but in
00:29:24.440 the sun we don't have this everything has to make exact sense what is your response to this pushback
00:29:30.600 yeah um well for me personally i'm actually such a big advocate against the idea of blind faith
00:29:36.520 right i believe that in order for you to truly have faith in something there needs to be a strong
00:29:42.680 form of evidence to compel you that it's true right it pushes you towards believing that said
00:29:47.400 belief system is true and obviously there are some things that we can't necessarily empirically prove
00:29:53.240 but every single foundation within islam can be proven logically right or empirically right like
00:30:00.040 for example when we talk about our understanding of allah tawhid tawhid makes perfect sense absolute
00:30:06.280 oneness we don't have this confusion about the trinity we have the father son the holy spirit
00:30:11.000 these three are one but they're not each other right that that's that's confusing right that's
00:30:14.440 illogical so anybody that hears that they're like i'll give an example if you walk in the street and
00:30:20.600 you ask three christians to explain the trinity two of the three are going to fall into heresy 0.91
00:30:25.320 and end up leaving christianity right if you ask three muslims to explain tauhid all of them are 0.93
00:30:30.360 going to perfectly understand it because it's perfectly logical another point is um not only 0.74
00:30:36.520 is islam logical but we believe in something called the fitrah right and the fitrah is
00:30:41.800 essentially the natural inclination that we have towards the belief in allah and what allah wants
00:30:48.120 us to believe about him right so we naturally come to the conclusion that there is a god and we
00:30:54.200 naturally come to the conclusion that this god is one right this is something that we all understand
00:30:59.400 in fact what's interesting is a lot of christians confess this too right um like even because you
00:31:04.120 mentioned like catholics right uh within catholicism there is a church father by the name of thomas
00:31:07.960 aquinas who concedes that via natural theology meaning just our natural inclination god is one
00:31:13.820 absolutely one right he's not just one in being but there's no this three-person idea we need to
00:31:19.500 find this in the bible in order to believe it so islam it's so beautiful in this regard because
00:31:24.220 there's no idea of this blind faith that we essentially have to just hope and pray that it's
00:31:28.700 logical every single thing that we believe in islam in terms of foundations it can be proven
00:31:33.260 That's when I decided I was a Muslim all along, when I figured out what Islam was.
00:31:38.020 I didn't even know what it meant, but it means submission to God.
00:31:40.700 Muslim means a worshiper of God.
00:31:43.060 I'm like, well, when I was a Catholic growing up and praying, I didn't pray to the Holy Spirit.
00:31:46.380 I didn't pray to St. Anthony. I didn't pray to Mary. I prayed to God.
00:31:50.520 That's who I was trying to give my worship to.
00:31:53.400 So that all made sense, and it lined up.
00:31:55.540 It's interesting, too, if you even ask Grok, if you ask any AI software, I encourage people to look.
00:31:59.940 Ask it, does the Trinity make logical sense?
00:32:02.060 I think most AI softwares are going to say, no, it doesn't make sense.
00:32:05.960 So there's not a real way.
00:32:07.620 And you're right.
00:32:08.000 It's like some people will say God is Jesus.
00:32:10.640 Some will say Jesus is the son of God.
00:32:12.420 Some will say that Jesus is three and one.
00:32:15.560 But I even saw in your debate, you brought up a great point that Jesus never even mentioned the Trinity.
00:32:20.620 This was not part of it.
00:32:21.720 He never said these words.
00:32:24.420 The source that they bring up the most, if they want to claim that Jesus is God, is in the gospel.
00:32:30.580 he says i and the father are one how do you respond to this one yeah so jesus says i and
00:32:37.140 the father are one and in the verses after it's actually very interesting this is why i always
00:32:42.180 encourage christians to look at the context because usually these arguments refute themselves
00:32:46.300 if we just look at the context of what jesus is saying right so after that the jews they pick up
00:32:51.640 stones to stone him right and then he asks for what for what of my good works are you stoning me 0.82
00:32:56.340 for. And the Jews say that we're not stoning you for good works, but rather we are stoning 0.95
00:33:00.760 you for blasphemy, for you are a mere man claiming to be God. And then Jesus refutes
00:33:04.520 them. He says, doesn't it say in your law that you are God's? How can you try to kill
00:33:10.220 me for claiming to be the son of God? So Jesus clarifies, he's not claiming to be God. He's
00:33:15.680 claiming to be the son of God. And son of God is not a divine title. Adam is called
00:33:20.620 the son of God. David is called the son of God. So the children of Israel are called
00:33:23.480 the sons of God, sorry, the children of God. So this isn't a divine idea, but I and the father
00:33:27.320 are one specifically. Uh, this is in the gospel of John, John 10 30. If we switch over to John 17
00:33:33.620 verses 21 through 23, Jesus says, and what a Christian will always say is I and the father
00:33:40.060 are one means that they are one in divine essence. So let's carry over that same logic.
00:33:44.960 Jesus says in John 17 verses 21 through 23, that him and the disciples and the father are one.
00:33:52.160 Does this mean that the disciples are God? 0.79
00:33:54.240 A Christian will say no, obviously.
00:33:55.440 He's referring to one in a different sense. 0.99
00:33:57.000 So I'll ask them, okay, then be consistent.
00:33:59.040 If Jesus is saying, I and the Father are one,
00:34:01.500 and you claim to interpret this as a divinity claim,
00:34:03.980 why aren't you also interpreting John 17 as a divinity claim?
00:34:07.500 That's why we always need to understand the context of these verses.
00:34:10.240 When Jesus says, I and the Father are one,
00:34:12.140 he is not claiming to be one with the Father in essence.
00:34:14.640 He's claiming to be one with the Father in purpose.
00:34:17.360 They both want to bring the people towards the true religion
00:34:20.600 and the true understanding and they want to essentially guide these people towards what
00:34:24.840 christians understand to be the kingdom of heaven what about he the gospel jesus says uh before
00:34:31.200 abraham was i am yeah so that's actually another case so in the verses leading up to that that's
00:34:38.740 john 8 58 the verses leading up to that jesus and we see this so interestingly jesus he's speaking
00:34:46.080 to the Jews and he's saying to them that if you believe in the words that I say, which are
00:34:52.640 obviously coming from God, then you will not taste death. You will not die. And then the Jews
00:34:57.080 misunderstand him. And he say, and they say, sorry, but Abraham has died and the prophets
00:35:02.440 before you have died. How can you claim that we're not going to taste death, right? And this
00:35:07.440 right here is a fundamental misunderstanding because Jesus is not talking about physical
00:35:10.680 death. He's talking about spiritual death. He's talking about entering hell, right? So the Jews
00:35:14.640 misunderstanding for the first time and then jesus replies and he speaks about abraham and he says 0.68
00:35:21.000 that abraham rejoiced to see sorry rejoiced at the thought of my day and he saw it and he was glad
00:35:27.560 jesus is not saying that abraham physically saw him jesus is talking about prophecy right he's
00:35:33.880 saying that abraham experienced prophecy of jesus coming right and he saw it and he was glad meaning
00:35:39.360 he saw this he came across this revelation that jesus was going to come no side was going to come
00:35:43.180 and he was glad. And then the Jews misunderstand him a second time. And they say, you are not even 0.87
00:35:48.480 50 years old. How can you have claimed to have seen Abraham? And then he says, verily, I tell
00:35:51.920 you before Abraham was, I am. So when he says, I am, he is referring to being decreed and prophesized
00:35:58.500 as the Messiah. And we see this also, we can cross-reference this because in Islam, we believe
00:36:03.020 in Qadr, right? We believe that everybody, obviously Allah decrees that we are going to
00:36:07.920 come into existence. And he knows that we are going to come into existence before we even come
00:36:11.880 into existence right Allah knew that the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was going to be the
00:36:15.540 final prophet Allah knew that Jesus was going to be the Messiah peace be upon him so and we can
00:36:20.240 also cross reference this with uh first Peter so in first Peter 1 I believe it's verses 20 uh 20
00:36:25.700 through 22 right it says that Jesus was known in the foreknowledge of God and then he became
00:36:32.500 manifest so let's use the bible to interpret the bible when Jesus says before Abraham was I am
00:36:38.880 He is not claiming actual pre-existence eternally with God.
00:36:43.080 He is saying that before Abraham was born, I was decreed to be the Messiah.
00:36:47.640 I was decreed to be a righteous man.
00:36:49.100 I was decreed to come to the people and preach the message and so on.
00:36:51.880 He's not claiming to be physically there with the father.
00:36:55.120 What about people saying Islam is a demonic religion?
00:36:58.300 I saw a pushback in your debate for this. 0.73
00:37:00.520 My response is, okay, you're saying it's a demonic religion.
00:37:03.540 We worship a false God. 0.56
00:37:05.040 But even the doctrine from the Roman Catholic Church, the Catholic leaders have a document called Nostra Tate, where I think it was in the early 60s, they clarified that Muslims worship the Father. 0.75
00:37:15.980 So it's like, well, Christians, well, we believe in the Trinity.
00:37:17.960 We have the divine essence of three.
00:37:19.800 Muslims, they worship the Father.
00:37:21.160 So according to Catholic leadership, according to your doctrine, Catholics are supposed to follow the Catholic Church. 0.57
00:37:26.820 We worship the Father and the Father alone.
00:37:28.480 So what sort of demon God is there?
00:37:31.480 If this is a demon God, then also you're worshiping one too.
00:37:34.460 how do you respond to this yeah well what's also interesting is yeah that's mentioned in the
00:37:40.420 catholic catechism and what's very crazy is that when people try to claim that islam is a demonic
00:37:46.280 religion especially from a christian lens right because um i've been getting the most pushback
00:37:50.820 from christians it's actually to me kind of laughable and quite ironic right because when 0.88
00:37:55.420 we think about what islam preaches islam preaches the worship of the only true god it preaches 0.99
00:37:59.460 against idol worship it preaches against sexual immorality it preaches against all of these 0.98
00:38:03.680 immoral things that christians would agree with the only distinction is that islam preaches absolute 0.96
00:38:08.720 oneness which is actually in line with jesus's teachings right jesus teaches only to worship the 0.56
00:38:13.200 true god jesus says that the father is the only true god if anything and if obviously a christian
00:38:18.080 wants to claim that islam is demonic i would ask them okay what is more demonic islam saying that
00:38:23.360 god allah is the only true god or um and islam saying that jesus is a blessed man and he was 0.81
00:38:29.920 blessed everywhere he went, or the religion that says that you eat the flesh and drink the blood 0.64
00:38:33.920 of Jesus Christ, and the religion that says that Jesus became a curse, right? In the Gospel of
00:38:38.340 Matthew, in the Gospel of Mark, sorry, in the Gospel of Matthew, it mentions explicitly that
00:38:43.380 Jesus allegedly told his followers to eat his flesh and drink his blood. And in Galatians 3.13,
00:38:49.700 Paul says that Jesus became a curse for mankind, and he relates it to the book of Deuteronomy,
00:38:54.720 where it says that everyone who is hung on a pole is under the curse of God. So what's more demonic?
00:38:59.240 the religion that praises Jesus and preaches absolute oneness, or the religion that says
00:39:04.000 that you eat the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ and calls him a curse and that he was cursed by
00:39:07.440 God. Many don't know the truth about Paul the Apostle. He wrote the most amount of books in
00:39:11.940 the New Testament and was the architect behind the religion of Christianity that we know today.
00:39:17.800 Most of this had nothing to do with Jesus. In fact, Paul the Apostle, who wrote the most books
00:39:22.020 in the New Testament, he didn't even meet Jesus. He didn't know him. He was persecuting the early
00:39:26.660 followers of Jesus. And on the road to Damascus, he got hit with the light and heard a sound and
00:39:31.060 decided, wait, I'm no longer going to persecute Jesus' followers. I now believe in Jesus and I
00:39:36.660 am here to spread his message. It's almost like he is a prophet in a way. Getting a sound and a light
00:39:40.400 like this is a message from God. And he becomes this leader. Once people learn more about Paul,
00:39:46.400 I think that they change their perspective. Do you know the history of Paul the Apostle?
00:39:51.380 yeah what's actually interesting is not only do people who read about paul today have an issue
00:39:58.220 with paul the disciples of jesus who actually physically met jesus had a problem with paul
00:40:02.680 for example james the brother of jesus in the book of acts chapter 21 he he despises paul's
00:40:10.380 teachings and he believes that paul is teaching contrary to what jesus kept now what's interesting
00:40:14.660 about James is that James upheld the law, he upheld circumcision, and he followed what Jesus
00:40:21.520 preached in his life to a T. And Paul was preaching against this. Paul was preaching not to keep the
00:40:27.060 law, not to keep physical circumcision, all these different things. He's preaching against what
00:40:31.080 Jesus said. So the apostles, sorry, the disciples, specifically James, they force Paul to take
00:40:36.600 something called the Nazarite vow. Now, the Nazarite vow, it's a long process. It's essentially
00:40:41.800 the cutting of the hair and all these abstaining from specific foods and drinks, and it is followed
00:40:46.600 up by an animal sacrifice, right? So this is mentioned in number six. Now, what's interesting
00:40:52.160 is we see the disciples of Jesus who physically met Jesus. Now, Christians will always repeat 1.00
00:40:58.100 this. They will say that Jesus's sacrifice put an end to blood sacrifice. They will say that when 0.97
00:41:04.020 Jesus died on the cross, there was no more blood sacrifice ever again. If when Jesus died on the
00:41:08.660 cross, there was no more blood sacrifice. Why did James, the brother of Jesus, and the other
00:41:12.800 disciples make Paul do a blood sacrifice in Acts 21? So it shows that Paul is not actually in
00:41:19.700 continuity with Jesus's teachings. Paul claims to do so. And not only that, but Paul actually
00:41:26.300 takes this sacrifice. He does the sacrifice in Acts 21. I believe it's verse 25 through 26.
00:41:31.560 he doesn't so it goes to show that paul if anything was essentially um and it's interesting
00:41:38.920 because it's actually what paul says to the to the jews he was a jew to the gentiles he was a gentile
00:41:42.920 right he would change his beliefs depending on who he was with so it goes to show that paul was
00:41:48.680 never an accurate representation of what jesus christ taught ever and he didn't even meet him
00:41:54.640 he said that he witnessed the resurrection but who knows if that's true also i saw this video
00:42:00.840 maybe you've seen this of these boys in the United Kingdom. They are praying and they're
00:42:05.240 learning about Islam. Most of them are Caucasian. One of them stands up. And of course, you see the 0.89
00:42:10.460 Epstein affiliates, Tommy Robinson and others, screenshotting and turning him into a crusader.
00:42:16.580 The one boy who didn't put his head to the floor. They're like, never bow down, never bow down. But
00:42:20.780 they don't know Jesus prayed exactly the same way. He put his head to the floor. I'm sure you know
00:42:24.600 Ethiopian Christians, some of the earliest Christians pray exactly the same way. They even
00:42:28.600 put their hands like this and they they do we're cut it looks like the last words of jesus it's
00:42:35.620 reported that he said elahi he said my god he said allaha you have these protesters in the uk they
00:42:40.300 say allah allah who is allah they're cursing who that f is i but they don't realize that this is
00:42:45.660 just the word that jesus also used in aramaic he didn't speak english he said allaha so these are
00:42:52.280 very easily things to debunk but it seems like most people if they're not interested uh have a
00:42:58.260 lot of they have a lot of blinders on exactly yeah and what's also interesting is this also
00:43:05.660 goes to show kind of the hypocrisy within christianity because christians they'll say
00:43:09.960 that jesus is the son of god and he was beloved of god he was also simultaneously god what's
00:43:13.800 interesting is that when jesus before he was crucified according to christians he was crying
00:43:17.500 out my god my god why have you forsaken me now what's interesting is when he says this christians
00:43:24.880 will try to reconcile this and say that he's fulfilling prophecy when in reality that's not
00:43:28.300 what's happening right um what's happening is obviously jesus according to them is crying out
00:43:33.060 my lord my lord or my god my god why have you forsaken me we obviously agree that and it says
00:43:38.660 in their bible god does not forsake his holy ones his beloved ones so if jesus was crying out on the
00:43:44.600 cross and saying my god my god why have you forsaken me there's only two conclusions that
00:43:49.100 we can draw from this either jesus was actually saved from the crucifixion which is the islamic
00:43:53.800 belief or they can say that jesus was not actually beloved and holy in god's eyes because if that was
00:43:59.200 the case if he was actually beloved and holy god would not have forsaken him right so it's crazy
00:44:04.340 to see the again like anti-islam propaganda it's insane that people will try to diminish islam
00:44:14.080 and simultaneously diminish their own religion because jesus was doing these things
00:44:18.020 i only have a few more i don't want to keep you too long i appreciate this but
00:44:22.520 the aspect of the warlord i hear this quite a bit that this is a false religion is a false religion
00:44:29.700 because uh muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam was a warlord and he was murderous how do you
00:44:36.040 reconcile this what is the response well first off warlord is interesting uh like it's interesting
00:44:43.520 terminology because it's not really uh applicable to the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
00:44:48.360 if we actually look at his seerah and we look at his his literature like sorry literature about
00:44:51.960 him his biography right uh the prophet muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam um he was actually
00:44:57.880 somebody who preached obviously peace when peace was needed and when other people uh would essentially
00:45:04.120 harm the muslims or try to harm the muslims harm the women harm the children and so on and so forth
00:45:08.360 obviously this would entice things like battle right the prophet muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam 0.95
00:45:12.920 was not somebody who would attack innocent people, ever.
00:45:17.640 Whenever there was some sort of an issue within Islamic history,
00:45:20.980 it was always the case that people were provoking the Muslims.
00:45:23.680 We see this all over the seerah. 0.92
00:45:25.660 All of these battles, the people were trying to kill the Muslims. 0.92
00:45:29.240 They were trying to harm the Muslims. 1.00
00:45:30.660 They were trying to get rid of their children. 1.00
00:45:32.180 They were trying to take their women, all this stuff.
00:45:33.600 And the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was doing nothing but defending his people, right?
00:45:37.620 And what's interesting is, again, this stuff kind of comes from, you know,
00:45:41.940 the opposite religious standpoint whether it be from the old testament or the new testament
00:45:45.940 uh the prophet muhammad was a person who walked this earth and he was he was kind nothing but
00:45:51.220 kind you see this all over his biography he was a phenomenal human being he was the example for all
00:45:55.300 mankind right and if somebody wants to say that islam is incorrect because the prophet muhammad
00:45:59.460 peace be upon him engaged in battles okay so let's denounce moses as a prophet let's denounce what
00:46:05.540 jesus says is going to happen in the book of revelation when jesus says i have not come to
00:46:09.220 to bring peace but rather i've come to bring a sword are they going to denounce christianity now
00:46:13.680 are they going to denounce all these biblical prophets for holding something similar are they 0.97
00:46:16.800 going to denounce the bible for saying all of these things that islam will directly condemn 0.95
00:46:20.760 actually if islam was a religion of war and a religion of violence then why does islam condemn 0.93
00:46:26.380 violence against women islam condemns violence against children islam condemns these things so 0.79
00:46:31.460 far sorry so um harshly to the point where islam prescribes capital punishments for these things
00:46:37.880 where when we see in the Bible, for example, Moses, according to them, we don't believe this
00:46:42.000 about Moses, obviously, because we believe that Moses was an upright example of mankind.
00:46:45.300 But in the Bible, in Numbers 31, verses 17 through 18, it speaks about what Moses did.
00:46:51.560 And it says that he's following the command of God, right? And what he did is essentially he
00:46:56.240 came to a nation and he killed all the men. And then he killed all the little boys and he killed 0.98
00:47:01.780 all the women who had ever slept with a man. And then he essentially commanded the troops 0.98
00:47:06.600 to only keep the girls who had never slept with a man and it says for themselves and the hebrew
00:47:13.220 word there is that you can consume them you can keep them for yourselves right we can relate this
00:47:18.200 back to the book of deuteronomy where it says that you can actually keep these people as uh sorry
00:47:22.300 these girls as concubines right we have in first samuel 15 verse 3 the famous one that we probably 0.87
00:47:26.960 all heard of where it says go and kill man and woman child and infant like donkey and like donkey 0.58
00:47:33.440 all the animals essentially right all the animals all the human beings of this nation people that
00:47:38.300 were innocent people that didn't necessarily have any crimes against god crimes against humanity
00:47:41.940 people that had nothing to do with all these things uh for example in deuteronomy 22 verses
00:47:46.100 28 through 29 uh where god is essentially prescribing punishments for people who uh commit
00:47:53.440 all of these different atrocities and deuteronomy 22 verses 20 through 29 it mentions that if a girl
00:47:59.780 in the greek it says paida right and paida is actually the root for the word pedophilia right
00:48:05.640 so it's referring to a child right it says that if a girl is assaulted so a man forces himself
00:48:11.380 on this girl and she is not betrothed then all he has to do as his punishment as is he pays her
00:48:17.720 father 50 shekels of silver and he gets to marry her for the rest of his life right that's that's 0.67
00:48:23.760 what deuteronomy 22 verse 28 says and just to wrap up obviously if islam was this religion that 0.92
00:48:29.160 preaches violence and obviously somebody is trying to speak from their own world view all these 0.65
00:48:33.840 people for example you know people that are anti-islam and suddenly become christian right
00:48:38.280 and suddenly want to say that the bible is like a moral standpoint that is superior to islam 0.52
00:48:42.700 why does islam condemn all of these atrocities and why does your bible not
00:48:47.520 again in his rules of war muhammad peace upon him he said to not attack innocent civilians do not 0.92
00:48:54.100 destroy uh monks or priests or don't attack religious people don't go after things like 0.69
00:49:01.160 trees and nature these are the atrocities that the u.s and israel are committing right now in iran 0.75
00:49:05.420 attacking schools going for the desalination plants attacking water supplies this is the
00:49:12.520 opposite of what the rules of war are spelled out by the beloved prophet and it's so ironic that
00:49:18.560 they will always say terrorists terrorists terrorists but it seems like terrorists only
00:49:22.280 applies to Muslims. And they seem to excuse themselves of all the evil actions. They're 0.99
00:49:27.660 going to yell about the prophet and his marriage while they cover up the Epstein files, the most
00:49:32.120 heinous things that we have ever witnessed. So their lives are never going to work, especially
00:49:35.960 when we have people like you, Cor, doing the right thing and fighting back against all the evils that
00:49:41.280 they spread. So thank you so much. May Allah increase you. And Eid's coming up. So early Eid
00:49:46.340 Mubarak. And I hope it's great. Thank you so much for coming on.
00:49:48.900 alhamdulillah i read mubarak and you know may allah bless you as well inshallah may
00:49:53.140 may the da'wah never stop spreading and inshallah with me and obviously people like me who are
00:49:57.880 doing the same exact thing all these misconceptions against islam can all get refuted and people can
00:50:02.680 see the truth and i do appreciate you know you inviting me to speak and us being able to have
00:50:07.100 this conversation thank you so much i really do appreciate it and warner says salam alaykum as
00:50:11.580 well talk soon oh no alaykum as-salam to both you and warner bye
