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
00:00:25.340
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?
00:00:32.180
Some people say, well, that's just later tradition.
00:00:37.900
If you want to open up, I'll give you the context.
00:00:48.880
I would recommend a browser, but I don't know which one.
00:01:04.300
Now, if you're not a Sunni, you can reject this.
00:01:06.640
If you're a Quran-only Muslim, you can reject this,
00:01:09.740
Because if you want to know, okay, what was the context of these verses?
00:01:20.060
And it's, oh, this verse was revealed because of this.
00:01:24.140
So if someone wants to reject it, they'll say, well, it doesn't say so.
00:01:27.580
But then I'd say, turn back and say, well, what's the context and how do you know?
00:01:32.660
If he tells me on 6th century, I go, well, the Quran doesn't tell you 6th century.
00:01:36.200
Oh, from the same sources I just quoted that you rejected.
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.
00:01:54.480
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.
00:02:07.380
If I go to the tradition, Muhammad had at one time 11 wives, even more than has God allowed for others.
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.
00:02:24.460
But then it says, and as many as your right hands possess.
00:02:32.100
So while you'll hear stories when you have people who go to Saudi Arabia to be maids,
00:02:40.220
Because in Islam, if you are a maid or a servant, the man has conjugal rights to sleep with you.
00:02:51.880
You know, don't get angry at me and put a hit on me or my friends.
00:02:57.780
If you want to show it to them, then we can come back here.
00:03:01.220
Yeah, well, it's called your right hand possesses, meaning that which is under your control,
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,
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.
00:03:44.560
So that part seems to have, you know, been glossed over.
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,
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
00:04:13.120
that you die and your eternity is up there having sex with all these guys?
00:04:20.600
It makes them leave Islam or, remember, if you've been convinced that Allah is God
00:04:26.640
and this is the only religion, well, hey, what choice do I have?
00:04:32.740
Okay, if I have been duped and beyond any reason without convinced this is true, I'm stuck.
00:04:41.680
This is how Allah, hey, Allah does what he wants.
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.
00:04:55.740
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?
00:05:14.700
Now, what makes it more tragic and disgusting, this is why I cannot believe, if someone knows
00:05:20.420
That's why I say, if you want to really get people to never consider Muhammad, say, look
00:05:26.900
Jesus' beauty will show you how disgusting these teachings are.
00:05:34.240
In fact, comparing Muhammad to Paul, the apostle, a glorious, holy servant of Christ.
00:05:42.300
If you see his lifestyle and his purity, he makes Muhammad look filthy and by comparison.
00:05:49.080
But nonetheless, not only in 4128, if you go back, did Muhammad treat one of his wives
00:05:57.180
Every single wife of Muhammad after he died could never remarry again.
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.
00:06:17.440
And you're telling me he's a mercy unto mankind?
00:06:21.460
And what does it tell you about a man who had nine wives and couldn't get any of them
00:06:27.800
They say that his first wife, Khadija bin Khawelid, that was his first wife.
00:06:36.320
If we go with the, again, remember, we're going by the Islamic narrative.
00:06:40.340
He used to work for her, and she was so impressed by his conduct, she proposed marriage.
00:06:48.920
According to Islamic tradition, she was a wealthy merchant woman, because she had married two
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.
00:07:19.380
Now, I'm going to explain to you why it is significant.
00:07:24.500
Because all his children, not only the sons died as toddlers, but even his daughters, who
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.
00:07:44.340
Because Muhammad's lineage is traced to his daughter Fatima, because she gave him two grandsons,
00:07:53.360
So this has significance with the Shia and the Sunni.
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.
00:08:09.080
Ahlul Bayt, the family line of Muhammad, supposedly comes from that line.
00:08:15.300
oh, supposedly, he got Khadija pregnant when she was 40.
00:08:20.860
The other wives, he couldn't get any of them pregnant.
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.
00:08:59.340
Where is the mercy in leaving these women without a husband or children for the rest of their days?
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.
00:09:20.380
Now you're going to see how this man is considered a mercy unto.
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.
00:09:42.920
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.
00:09:53.800
My memory fails me if it was Umm Salama, the first one.
00:09:56.880
But nonetheless, he married her among the 11 wives.
00:10:05.460
Sahil Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, you know, they're writing this.
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.
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.
00:10:53.340
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.
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.
00:11:04.760
So she comes to him and says, look, don't divorce me.
00:11:10.360
Now remember, each wife has to have her own house.
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.
00:11:29.760
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.
00:11:41.880
And the day assigned to me, you can give it to Aisha.
00:11:48.420
And he left this woman in a house all by herself the rest of her days.
00:12:05.860
Because the Quran says that all of Muhammad's wives will be his wives in paradise.
00:12:09.860
So she was hoping that if he didn't divorce her, she'd end up with him in paradise.
00:12:20.680
And he left this woman alone in a house without, you know, and having no children with her.
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.
00:12:50.120
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.
00:13:08.020
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
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
00:13:40.020
try to avoid me, you know, because remember, unless it's a fanatic who wants to kill me,
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.
00:14:05.040
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.
00:14:26.960
Rock the shirt, rock it with purpose, and let the world know who you stand with.
