00:00:01.000 In one of the conversations with a woman, she's talking to you about being a Muslim,
00:00:06.800 and then you tell the story about how he did something to his wife because she got fat
00:00:15.040 and unattractive and left her in.
00:00:16.460 Oh yeah, Sauda bin Zama. 0.51
00:00:17.300 Yeah.
00:00:18.760 Boy, you've really been watching me.
00:00:21.100 You still like me, invite me?
00:00:22.360 Oh yeah, I've been watching the last two days.
00:00:25.340 I don't know how many hours of content of yours I've watched.
00:00:28.360 Yeah, according to, again, you have to go with the Islamic narrative, right? 0.89
00:00:32.180 Some people say, well, that's just later tradition.
00:00:34.980 Surat al-Nisa, chapter 4128.
00:00:37.900 If you want to open up, I'll give you the context.
00:00:40.680 4128.
00:00:41.340 You're going to see the context here, yeah.
00:00:44.040 Surat al-Nisa, chapter 4128.
00:00:46.460 Yeah.
00:00:46.980 If he opens it up.
00:00:48.240 I don't know.
00:00:48.880 I would recommend a browser, but I don't know which one.
00:00:51.140 The one I have for the website.
00:00:52.920 This is in the Quran?
00:00:53.780 Yep, watch here, 120.
00:00:55.120 Chapter 4128, not 1-28, sorry.
00:01:00.600 128.
00:01:01.040 This is the context of the passage.
00:01:02.420 I'm going to explain it here.
00:01:04.300 Now, if you're not a Sunni, you can reject this. 0.86
00:01:06.640 If you're a Quran-only Muslim, you can reject this, 1.00
00:01:08.420 because this is based on the hadith.
00:01:09.740 Because if you want to know, okay, what was the context of these verses?
00:01:12.940 They have what's called asbab al-nuzul,
00:01:15.780 the occasional reason of revelation.
00:01:17.760 So you've got to go into the commentaries,
00:01:19.340 you've got to go into books.
00:01:20.060 And it's, oh, this verse was revealed because of this.
00:01:22.700 But that's not in the Quran.
00:01:24.140 So if someone wants to reject it, they'll say, well, it doesn't say so.
00:01:26.500 He'd be right.
00:01:27.580 But then I'd say, turn back and say, well, what's the context and how do you know?
00:01:31.580 When was this composed?
00:01:32.660 If he tells me on 6th century, I go, well, the Quran doesn't tell you 6th century. 0.97
00:01:35.160 How did you get that?
00:01:36.200 Oh, from the same sources I just quoted that you rejected.
00:01:39.540 Hmm.
00:01:40.020 Interesting.
00:01:40.340 So you go to them when need be, but when it disproves your point, no, it's now suspect.
00:01:47.040 But these are the same sources that told you that this is revealed in Medina and at this year.
00:01:52.640 Because the Quran doesn't tell you.
00:01:54.480 But nonetheless, if we read it, here's the thing.
00:01:57.460 And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or desertion,
00:02:01.740 there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them.
00:02:04.660 And settlement is best.
00:02:06.540 Now, what is that about?
00:02:07.380 If I go to the tradition, Muhammad had at one time 11 wives, even more than has God allowed for others. 0.98
00:02:14.600 If you go to chapter 4, verse 3 of the Quran, you don't need to turn there.
00:02:17.300 But 4, verse 3, it says, you can have two or three or four wives, if you can be fair.
00:02:23.700 If not, have one.
00:02:24.460 But then it says, and as many as your right hands possess.
00:02:28.280 See, that part is not emphasized.
00:02:29.600 The Quran allows unlimited concubinage.
00:02:32.100 So while you'll hear stories when you have people who go to Saudi Arabia to be maids,
00:02:36.120 they don't know they're signing up for sex.
00:02:38.280 That's part of the deal.
00:02:40.220 Because in Islam, if you are a maid or a servant, the man has conjugal rights to sleep with you. 0.99
00:02:47.300 You're signing up for that.
00:02:48.600 That's in chapter 4, verse 3 of the Quran.
00:02:50.060 It's there.
00:02:50.620 I didn't write it.
00:02:51.880 You know, don't get angry at me and put a hit on me or my friends.
00:02:54.640 I didn't write it.
00:02:55.400 Quran 4, 3? 0.81
00:02:56.480 Chapter 4, verse 3.
00:02:57.780 If you want to show it to them, then we can come back here.
00:02:59.500 You'll see.
00:03:00.540 A maid?
00:03:01.220 Yeah, well, it's called your right hand possesses, meaning that which is under your control,
00:03:08.200 whether a servant or a maid or anything.
00:03:11.600 And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphans, then marry those that please you of other women, 0.98
00:03:18.340 two or three or four, but if you fear that you will not be just, then marry one or those your right hands possess.
00:03:23.800 Right hand possession means you're concubines, you're free to have as many as you want.
00:03:31.120 But if you want to marry, you can only have up to four.
00:03:34.100 But it doesn't tell you, okay, the four plus the slave girls or the maids.
00:03:39.140 That's authentic Islam, Sunni and Shia tradition.
00:03:42.240 There's no, because it's in the Quran, right?
00:03:44.560 So that part seems to have, you know, been glossed over.
00:03:48.960 I guess many people didn't get the memo.
00:03:50.640 So when you, go ahead, brother.
00:03:51.640 I'm just curious how so many, I know you're not political, but how so many of these Ilhan Omar
00:03:56.680 and all these women of Muslim faith, like they're my body, my choice and everything, 0.76
00:04:01.600 but then every single thing in the Quran is anti them, like those 72 virgins.
00:04:07.120 Sam, for every guy that goes and has all these virgins, like what type of life is it as a Muslim woman 1.00
00:04:13.120 that you die and your eternity is up there having sex with all these guys? 0.84
00:04:17.080 Like it doesn't make any sense to me.
00:04:19.220 Well, it does one of two things.
00:04:20.600 It makes them leave Islam or, remember, if you've been convinced that Allah is God 1.00
00:04:26.640 and this is the only religion, well, hey, what choice do I have?
00:04:30.380 You see, understand?
00:04:31.520 Yeah.
00:04:32.740 Okay, if I have been duped and beyond any reason without convinced this is true, I'm stuck.
00:04:40.420 What do you want me to do, Vinny?
00:04:41.420 Yeah.
00:04:41.680 This is how Allah, hey, Allah does what he wants.
00:04:44.920 I'm just glad I'll be there.
00:04:46.520 I won't be burning in the fire.
00:04:48.460 See, this is the, why do I say you have to be careful demonizing all Muslims?
00:04:52.420 Because many of them are victims of the system.
00:04:54.120 Mm-hmm.
00:04:55.140 Right?
00:04:55.740 And I don't know, I was going to say some, but anyway, they're victims of the system.
00:04:58.760 But coming to the explanation, I'm going to explain 4128.
00:05:02.400 Now, remember, how many wives can the Muslim have? 1.00
00:05:04.960 Up to four.
00:05:05.320 Two, three, or four.
00:05:06.040 Yeah.
00:05:06.280 See, I mean, if you can have two, three, four.
00:05:08.120 Okay.
00:05:08.700 If you can handle it and be.
00:05:09.880 Yeah.
00:05:10.240 Yeah.
00:05:10.760 Muhammad had 11.
00:05:13.160 When he died, he widowed nine.
00:05:14.700 Now, what makes it more tragic and disgusting, this is why I cannot believe, if someone knows
00:05:18.980 Jesus, he'd leave Jesus for Muhammad. 0.97
00:05:20.420 That's why I say, if you want to really get people to never consider Muhammad, say, look
00:05:24.660 what Muhammad did compared to Jesus. 0.96
00:05:26.900 Jesus' beauty will show you how disgusting these teachings are.
00:05:31.560 Right?
00:05:32.160 Focusing on, look at Christ, look at Muhammad. 1.00
00:05:34.240 In fact, comparing Muhammad to Paul, the apostle, a glorious, holy servant of Christ.
00:05:40.860 And all he was, was a servant.
00:05:42.300 If you see his lifestyle and his purity, he makes Muhammad look filthy and by comparison. 1.00
00:05:47.120 Just Paul, who's not our God in the flesh.
00:05:49.080 But nonetheless, not only in 4128, if you go back, did Muhammad treat one of his wives
00:05:55.060 unjustly.
00:05:57.180 Every single wife of Muhammad after he died could never remarry again. 0.98
00:06:03.380 That's in the Quran.
00:06:04.200 You cannot have his wives after him. 0.99
00:06:06.360 So he left some of them widows.
00:06:08.620 Aisha was 18, they say, and others in their 20s widows.
00:06:12.080 And some of them lived to their 50s without ever being able to marry, have children.
00:06:16.520 This is what he did to them.
00:06:17.440 And you're telling me he's a mercy unto mankind?
00:06:20.360 Seriously?
00:06:21.460 And what does it tell you about a man who had nine wives and couldn't get any of them 0.68
00:06:24.540 pregnant? 0.57
00:06:27.300 Right?
00:06:27.800 They say that his first wife, Khadija bin Khawelid, that was his first wife.
00:06:31.840 She was 15 years a senior.
00:06:33.100 She was actually his boss.
00:06:35.160 He used to work for her.
00:06:36.320 If we go with the, again, remember, we're going by the Islamic narrative. 0.73
00:06:40.340 He used to work for her, and she was so impressed by his conduct, she proposed marriage.
00:06:47.560 And he married her.
00:06:48.920 According to Islamic tradition, she was a wealthy merchant woman, because she had married two
00:06:51.940 wealthy men, and they died.
00:06:53.260 She left their fortune.
00:06:55.200 And he used to be a caravan trader for her.
00:06:58.420 So she was his boss.
00:07:00.200 According to the Sunni tradition, he married her when he was 25 and she was 40.
00:07:06.160 And so she supposedly mothered all his children. 0.77
00:07:08.400 But every son he had died as a toddler.
00:07:12.980 None of his sons lived even to adulthood.
00:07:16.640 Now, he only stayed with her until she died.
00:07:19.380 Now, I'm going to explain to you why it is significant.
00:07:22.020 After that, he went crazy.
00:07:23.280 He started just collecting wives.
00:07:24.500 Because all his children, not only the sons died as toddlers, but even his daughters, who
00:07:30.880 got married later, died.
00:07:32.940 The only child that outlived them was his daughter Fatima, who then died six months later.
00:07:38.340 And she was married to Ali ibn Abu Talib, who's his first cousin.
00:07:42.100 And hence, you get the Shia and Sunni divide.
00:07:44.340 Because Muhammad's lineage is traced to his daughter Fatima, because she gave him two grandsons,
00:07:49.940 Hassan Hussein.
00:07:51.280 This is where the Shia trace Ahlul Bayt. 0.89
00:07:53.360 So this has significance with the Shia and the Sunni.
00:07:56.980 They don't get along.
00:07:58.420 Fatima, right?
00:08:00.320 Ali, who's supposedly the rightful successor of Muhammad, but he was robbed.
00:08:04.440 She gave him his two grandsons, because he had no boys.
00:08:07.160 He had no successors.
00:08:08.180 Hassan Hussein.
00:08:09.080 Ahlul Bayt, the family line of Muhammad, supposedly comes from that line.
00:08:11.740 But with that said,
00:08:15.300 oh, supposedly, he got Khadija pregnant when she was 40.
00:08:18.840 Okay, we'll give him that.
00:08:20.860 The other wives, he couldn't get any of them pregnant. 1.00
00:08:22.560 But then he had a sex slave, Maria Al-Khoptia. 0.96
00:08:26.920 Mary, the cop, sent to him.
00:08:29.040 He supposedly got her pregnant.
00:08:30.520 She gave birth to his son, Ibrahim.
00:08:32.780 And he died when he was two.
00:08:34.680 Okay, so maybe something happened.
00:08:37.120 He got lucky with her.
00:08:38.500 There's some questions whether that was really his son, but we don't get into that.
00:08:41.540 My whole point is, of all these women, he only got one woman supposedly pregnant after Khadija, son who died.
00:08:49.220 None of the other women who can get pregnant, not even Aisha, who married at nine, left them all childless and widows, who could never remarry again. 1.00
00:08:55.940 And he's a mercy unto a woman?
00:08:59.340 Where is the mercy in leaving these women without a husband or children for the rest of their days? 0.99
00:09:04.960 That's merciful?
00:09:06.520 Women have needs, right? 1.00
00:09:08.220 They want companionship.
00:09:09.620 They want intimacy.
00:09:10.680 They want children.
00:09:11.760 And he left them with none of that.
00:09:13.460 And you're telling me he's a mercy unto mankind.
00:09:15.040 Now, to show you how cruel he is, that's where you're going to come 4-128.
00:09:18.340 Now you're going to see the cruelty of Muhammad. 1.00
00:09:20.380 Now you're going to see how this man is considered a mercy unto.
00:09:23.300 I have no idea.
00:09:24.460 Man, if he's merciful, then you and me, Vinny?
00:09:26.400 We're in trouble.
00:09:27.380 Oh, shh.
00:09:28.060 My goodness.
00:09:29.820 Now, it says, if a woman fears from her husband contempt or desertion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them.
00:09:36.100 Now, the context is, Sadah bin Zama.
00:09:40.560 She was an older wife of Muhammad.
00:09:42.920 Now, when he was married to Khadija, he never got married.
00:09:45.520 When she died, it says that then he multiplied wives.
00:09:51.420 The second wife was Aisha.
00:09:53.800 My memory fails me if it was Umm Salama, the first one. 0.89
00:09:56.880 But nonetheless, he married her among the 11 wives.
00:10:01.640 But he was no longer attracted to her.
00:10:03.340 This is in the Muslim tradition.
00:10:04.400 I didn't write this.
00:10:05.460 Sahil Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, you know, they're writing this.
00:10:09.440 So I don't want people to condemn me to hell.
00:10:11.420 They can look at any commentary.
00:10:12.500 And she feared that mom was going to divorce her.
00:10:16.660 There's even a hadith in Bukhari that says she would go out to the call of nature.
00:10:21.540 But because she was a huge fat lady, you wouldn't miss her. 1.00
00:10:25.520 You know it's her.
00:10:26.620 Hey, what are you doing?
00:10:27.760 We can see you.
00:10:28.620 Right?
00:10:29.160 So it describes a huge fat woman, fat lady. 1.00
00:10:32.120 So she's a large woman and an older woman. 1.00
00:10:35.700 She feared Muhammad was going to divorce her.
00:10:38.180 So she made a deal with him.
00:10:39.300 So keep me as your wife, but you don't have to visit me.
00:10:42.260 Because part of the deal was he would have to visit these wives on successive days.
00:10:47.140 But the Quran says it's up to him. 0.62
00:10:48.760 He could choose not to.
00:10:50.100 You know, I'm not going to see you.
00:10:51.220 I'm going to see you.
00:10:51.880 The Quran says it's up to his discretion.
00:10:53.340 That's chapter 33 of the Quran, verses 50 to 51.
00:10:56.360 Which wife you want to see and which wife you don't want to see. 0.96
00:10:58.180 Yeah, up to you.
00:10:58.840 So there's not a set schedule calendar you have to follow.
00:11:01.240 So that means you'd be thankful if he chooses to see you.
00:11:04.160 Be grateful.
00:11:04.760 So she comes to him and says, look, don't divorce me.
00:11:09.240 Keep me as your wife.
00:11:10.360 Now remember, each wife has to have her own house. 1.00
00:11:13.840 And she cannot go out unless there's a need and with his permission.
00:11:18.540 So can you manage you're under house arrest pretty much?
00:11:21.740 You can only go if it's a need or he gives you permission.
00:11:26.240 So he has 11 wives, 11 homes. 0.81
00:11:29.760 They have to stay home until he says, you can come out.
00:11:32.800 Or if it's something really like, hey, I got to run to the toilet.
00:11:35.580 Okay.
00:11:37.000 This woman said, don't divorce me. 1.00
00:11:40.600 Keep me as your wife.
00:11:41.880 And the day assigned to me, you can give it to Aisha. 0.65
00:11:44.920 So Aisha had two days.
00:11:46.940 The nine-year-old.
00:11:47.940 Yeah.
00:11:48.420 And he left this woman in a house all by herself the rest of her days.
00:11:53.560 And the Quran says, good agreement. 0.95
00:11:58.200 If you agree to it, no problem.
00:12:00.460 So his God said, that's the deal.
00:12:02.580 Go with now.
00:12:03.040 Why did she want to be his wife? 1.00
00:12:04.540 See, this is again.
00:12:05.860 Because the Quran says that all of Muhammad's wives will be his wives in paradise. 0.98
00:12:09.860 So she was hoping that if he didn't divorce her, she'd end up with him in paradise.
00:12:14.200 See the mindset?
00:12:16.260 Please don't divorce me.
00:12:17.340 Let me die as your wife. 1.00
00:12:18.420 So at least in paradise, I'll be your wife.
00:12:20.680 And he left this woman alone in a house without, you know, and having no children with her.
00:12:27.140 All because he was not attracted to her.
00:12:29.360 And she knew it.
00:12:30.360 And she said, don't divorce me.
00:12:32.580 Now, if Muhammad was merciful, you know what? 0.98
00:12:34.360 A merciful God and a prophet would say, what are you crazy?
00:12:37.880 I love you just as much as the first day I laid my eyes on.
00:12:40.840 In fact, I love you more.
00:12:41.840 What do you mean?
00:12:42.940 No, you're my wife and I'm going to honor you.
00:12:45.040 Okay, good deal.
00:12:46.120 Let's go for it.
00:12:46.880 And it's sanctioned in the Quran.
00:12:47.860 See what it says?
00:12:50.120 If a woman fears from her husband contempt or desertion, there is no sin upon them if
00:12:55.140 they make terms of settlement between them and settlement is best.
00:12:57.320 So if you agree to this, all right, good deal.
00:13:00.760 Go with it.
00:13:01.560 But who wins in this deal?
00:13:03.300 The men.
00:13:05.020 The men are winning.
00:13:06.360 The women are getting abused. 0.94
00:13:08.020 I don't know how in the world this guy is a mercy unto mankind.
00:13:10.740 And when people tell me, respect my prophet, how can I respect such a man who has not only 0.77
00:13:15.340 destroyed the people around him?
00:13:17.800 Sam, how much, when you walk in the streets, how often have Muslims approached you?
00:13:24.520 You know, what kind of threats are you getting when you're out there saying what you're saying?
00:13:28.600 Interestingly, TikTok and Instagram, the clips made me famous, not because I wanted to.
00:13:33.320 So if I'm going places I'll get recognized, but Muslims, even if they recognize me, will 1.00
00:13:40.020 try to avoid me, you know, because remember, unless it's a fanatic who wants to kill me,
00:13:45.160 they're not here to kill or go to jail, right?
00:13:48.180 So if they even recognize me, they won't come up to me, right?
00:13:52.320 Because again, this stereotype, not all Muslims are killers, not all Muslims are terrorists.
00:13:56.080 So I haven't run into the wrong Muslims.
00:13:58.760 The 10%, yeah.
00:13:59.620 I haven't run into them.
00:14:00.660 Got it.
00:14:01.260 Yeah, so thank God.
00:14:02.420 Yeah, no, that's a very good thing.
00:14:03.920 Hey guys, Vincent Oshana here.
00:14:05.040 I recently released a new shirt for my faith baseline, Faith Over Fear.
00:14:08.780 There's a cross on the front and Hebrews chapter 11, verse 1 on the back.
00:14:12.560 As Christians, we've never seen Jesus face to face, but we believe.
00:14:15.680 That's what having true faith is, trusting when we can't see.
00:14:19.380 And if you walk by faith, you have absolutely nothing to fear.
00:14:22.660 Go to vtmerch.com, pick up a shirt.
00:14:24.520 We have hoodies, we even have a female line.
00:14:26.960 Rock the shirt, rock it with purpose, and let the world know who you stand with.
00:14:30.580 Peace and love.
