@@megasp shaykh waleed almaghrib discussed this in a bit more detail in our Aqidah class. To sum it up, both of you are correct. Rasul and nabi either mean the same thing as in this ayah. Or they mean different things, depending on which scholarly opinion you follow. Yusuf is definitely not a rasool like prophet muhammad saw. Anyways it’s complicated but israalights was correct according to the majority of scholars. Only some scholars of Aqidah would call yusuf a rasool. Allaah knows best.
How many people came here from brother DH link ? ❤🤝🏻 Jazakom Allah Khayr ya sheikh for this video. It clearly explains the issues at hand easy enough for a lay person to understand. May Allah bless your family and make your happy sheikh.
I have just started recently to ask Allah to increase me in knowledge and I feel like this video is an answer to my Doo'a. May Allah reward you, brother.
I'm only 30 minutes in and honestly this video is amazing. I feel so refreshed to find more and more muslims speaking with proper evidences. Alhamdulilah. These Neo-Salafis have secularised Islam and they are too blind to see it. May Allah swt expose the munafiqeen, guide us all onto the straight path and allow us to witness a united ummah ameen.
I live in Egypt and I assure you the last examples you gave are 100% real life. My uncle was literally taken from the masjid after praying fajr for being too religious 🤦🏽♂️ People are afraid of practicing Islam in Egypt and I was one of them for a while I saw my friends and relatives get jailed for going to the masjid to pray in a "Muslim" country
This is true wallahi, As an Egyptian many practicing people get arrested and charged with extremism also many mosques have been destroyed. May Allah AWJ protect us
I'm from a so called Muslim country (Tunisia) that had a secularist ruler who banned hijab and used to told people not to fast during Ramadan. The madkhalis would've sided with that kafir against the Muslims and I say this because I see them defending Gadhafi who did worse things.
Do know what, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia fled to Saudi in 2011 and died in 2019. Any corrupt politicians will find a safe heaven in the Gulf (Saudi or UAE).
@@zulqarnain401 I was talking about Bourgiba. But yeah, Ben Ali tried fleeing to France first. He thought that since he was their puppet they would accept him and give a safe haven. But those "allies" wanted nothing to do with him after he was no longer in control of the people.
in Egypt they supported a military cope against the Muslim brotherhood elected government. they were called Alnoor party. and the only good thing that came out of the cope is that they exposed themselves , before they were fooling many of simple people, but no more. and I'm shocked to see them in the west, they should go back and enjoy life beside their corrupted dictators.
@@CodnGta Yes he was a secularist. He banned hijab. He had agents who sent reports to the authorities about the people who pray fajr in masjid which is a crime as you'd imagine. "Islamists" and political opponents were put in prison, tortured and killed. My father was a political refugee and we suffered a lot but alhamdulillah the people eventually rebelled.
This video needs more views! JazakAllahu khayran for explaining everything so clearly and comprehensively! May Allah guide us all to accept and follow what is right and pleasing to Him!
Today I have unsubscribed the channel of Br. Saajid after what he said regarding Br.DH, but fortunately found your channel Ustad رُبَّ ضارة نافعة. Jazak Allah Khair I have learnt a lot from you Ustad.
Just came here from Daniel's channel. Listened to it with 2X speed, just finished, overall it was a very good lecture. I'll have to watch it again and take notes.
@@heythere9554 an unrighteous king is different from a murtad king, these ahadith which mention obedience to oppressive rulers apply as long as they don’t commit clear kufr, ruling with man made laws and allegiance to the enemies of Muslims (the US) against Muslims are all major kufr and makes the saudi government murtad like every other arab country in the region
@@heythere9554 I just want to shed some light on the hadeeth that the madakhilah and deviant rulers love so much. The hadeeth tells of obeying rulers and end with “You will listen to the Amir and carry out his orders; even if your back is flogged and your wealth is snatched,”. 1. Many hadeeth scholars such as alDarKatny say that this last part is weak and is added by the narrator. Some even go further to say that it is munkar/renounced. 2. many other muhadetheen and scholars such as Ibn Hazm understood that added part as "if they do so rightfully". And that takes us to : 3. Context: arabs were proud and rebellious. They almost never settled on a king or a ruler. If some ruler infringed on what a tribe saw as not fair they would fight against him. They wouldn't settle on a ruler who is not from their own. Which is explained by another hadeeth that calls to obey a ruler even if he is a black slave. So most of those hadeeth calling for obeying rulers is to be taken in that context. 4. That added part in the hadeeth talks about oppression or perceived oppression but not about killing. What we see from rulers of Iran and Saudis they are killing hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Syria and Yemen. And they are doing so with the aid (mwala) of nonbelievers such as Russia and US which is considered clear sign of disbelieving to do so. 5. There are many many hadeeths that call on to correct a ruler's behavior. And if we don't then corruption will spread massively as per hadeeth. And what do we do when that ruler jails or kills those who speak against them? And go on with destroying the Umma. 5. What do we do with history? The Omaiads didn't do anything similar to what Saudis or Iranian leaders did, yet Husain and Abdullah Ibn Zubair (companions of the prophet) did go against the leaders of their times even when what those rules did very little wrong compared to what is happening now. And many high calipar scholars of salaf back then went on to support those rebellions. 6. When it comes Saudis, Iranian leaders, Sisi of Egypt, and Asaad of Syria, we are not just talking about oppression of the masses. We are talking about the destruction of Islam, heavily introducing deviant behaviors and ideas into the Umma, the destruction of muslims, their lives, and their values, conspiring with enemies of Islam on destroying Islam amd muslims as attested again and again by their actions, slip of the tongues, or by those enemies who aid them. 7. Speaking against such rulers and calling against them is not is not khuruj. Taking arms against a state is khuruj. So don't let anyone scare you of saying the truth and calling for it. 8. Living in a non muslim country is not the same as living in a muslim country. So Sajjid comparing silence against leaders of non muslims leaders not implementing islamic law is ridiculous. And of course you still call them to do justice. Peace.
May Allah preserve you brother. Pushing against the Madkhalis seems to be the struggle of this era, we are starting to see its signs in our own countries. May Allah make it so that this is the beginning of the liberation of Muslims in terms of consciousness and understanding of the reality in light of the holy revelation of Allah SWT. بارك الله فيك، استمر.
I'm very pleased to see that this video exists so that we can refer to it any english speaking person who seeks knowledge regarding this matter. I only wished that you mentioned a very important thing that is almost never mentioned in english. It's the imprisonment, torture and even killing of thousands of scholars and Islamic students by these self proclaimed muslim rulers, in order to be able to propagate their own modernized version of Islam. حفظك الله و جزاك كل خير على هذا العمل المتميز
To be honest with you bro, I cried watching this video. May Allah protect you and your family and other duats. You changed my understanding. InshaAllah I believe I am now following the path of our Salaf. I won't fall for the tricks of shaitan again, inshaAllah. I will never watch the misguidence of neo-salafis.
As you were decieved by these secular "salafis" There are millions like this because of these deviants preachers of falsehood. So the minimun you can do is to share the knowledge and help others.
Subhanallah! I'm only half way through but I've already learnt so much. Pure undiluted Qur'an and Sunnah. I was initially sceptical about watching the video but Alhamdulilah, I'm glad eventually got around to doing so. Such an impactful video, full of knowledge. I wonder how saajid and the madkhalis could find fault in it. JazakAllah khair ustadh.
They have many tools around these clear evidences in order to defend their precious masters. They either make tabdee3 of some scholars (like Sh Bakr Abu Zaid) or so they "made a mistake". Or they reinterpret the evidences or sometimes even deny them altogether. Anything to run away from the reality of the heaviness of Allah's law
This is excellent point you make....our Deen has to be evidence-based and the evidence has to be linked back to the Prophet through authentic chains and references. Islam is the ONLY religion on earth with preserved primary sources. Even the more modern sects like Mormonism dont have the golden tablets and only rely on the 11 witnesses testimony. Christians only have pauls testimony. Jews have Rabbinic memory and testimony. Buddhaism only has Ananda's memory and testimony. Dont let go of the evidence linked to the Prophet.
BarakAllahu Feekum brother Lotfi for this Hikma of Deen🖤 You are an ocean of knowledge!☝️This is the most respectful and Islamically accurate response/refutation video I have ever seen from a brother on RU-vid. Refutation Dawah has gotten out of hand but this video gives me hope. I have respect for our Brother Sajid but he is capable of making mistakes. He just recently attempted refuting another Muslim brother and I have issues with that video as well. Nonetheless, may Allah Ar-Razzaq guide us ALL upon the Manhaj of As-salaf As-salih. SubhanAllahi Wa Bihamdihi SubhanAllah Al-Atheem!
I was hoping for a rebuttal of Saajid's video. With him being an American convert, it seems he is not aware that nothing major gets done in the Arab world without the express approval of the government which includes the curriculums of universities. There is a reason why Saudi is eager to accept new converts and teach them their version of Islam to accelerate its exportation around the globe. With that said, it does seem that Medina University does teach proper Islam in whatever realm secularism has deemed to be the scope of religion eg prayer, fasting, etc. However, anything taught outside of this scope should be heavily scrutinized with reference to pre-modern sources since this is where these regimes have an obvious incentive to distort and manipulate for their own agendas.
The only part I agree with is the politics from that region may influence certain political beliefs of people who get education there, but when it comes to aqeeda, it’s as pure as it comes. I saw this division during the events of the past 2 years, and how leaders in the region reacted to the major events in the world. The obligation of the ‘treatment’ seems to supersede the obligation of the deen, like haj. A lot of Muslims that didn’t get the ‘treatment’ are considered less than Muslims and may never be able to fulfill their religious obligation. Despite all the evidence of little to no benefit of the ‘treatment’, no Muslim leader is holding those that pushed it on the people accountable.
@@greenhomestead6305 well it is not pure anymore, they totally recalled all the books of sheikh mohammed ibnu abdulwahab and his generation. What they teach now is only the aqeedah of murji'ia and they only produce madakhilah students.
Excellent. Saajid comes across as someone who needs to study far more widely and travel to see the reality of the Muslim world. Whether he likes to accept it or not he has come from a relatively privileged background and then went to Saudi to study. Does he have a deep understanding of the sociopolitical reality in the Arab and Muslim world? He just seems to apply some cut and paste fatwa to any situation. He lacks wisdom and frankly speaking he should be focusing on seeking knowledge not discussing matters way above his level. But I guess this social media age inflates egos.
@@cabdiraxmaan3754 Hmm, please tell me where you got that information from, as it seems kind of odd. A close family member of mine, who lives in Saudi informed me that Sh Rabi al Madkhalli has a small masjid with around 200 people following. Saudis were shocked that people from overseas take any notice of him so I'm not sure how Madina university would see him in any great light. Also, when did they recall the books of Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahab? I'm not trolling, it's a genuine question.
The point about "Secular Salafiyya" is so poignant, anyone that reads the history of the evolution of Protestantism knows that it leads to secularism via a pragmatic (and unjustified) theory of peace - Liberalism.
Salafism was a big problem for govts as it is the only group which rejected the taghoot rule and waged jihad world wide. Salafis not only fought their govts but also traveled abroad to Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Iraq, Syria etc So the govts created these madkhalis in name of Salafiyyah to distort its orthodox teachings. But they will fail as there are still many people on authentic aqeeda and will not give up or fall for the shubuhat by the murjia.
I remember Saajid made a video against Hizb Ut Tahrir last year. An active brother from Hizbut Tahtir (Mazin Abdul Adheem), politely asked Saajid for a online discussion as he felt there was lots of false information. Sadly, Saajid didn't accept. Shows you how sincere a person is. Imagine being told "let me clarify your mistake" and you still ignore somone. Do people not fear Allah? Worse people for me are those who make a video but don't like criticism or debate challenge. If you gonna attack a person or group. At least be ready to discuss with them. Jzk sheikh for your video. First time coming across you. I Look forward to more gems from you.
Since when is it a condition to accept every debate to be a sincere person. There are numerous examples of the salaf refusing to platform people and listen to certain people with a misguided belief. Are they unsincere as well ? Be just akhi.
Jazakallaahu khayran akhi, I have been searching for a good video breaking down some past events, since I had become a bit confused regarding these matters. Subscribed. Keep educating people against irjaa. Wa3alaykumussalaam wara7matullaahi wabarakaatuh.
JazakAllahu khayr for this video. Our Kalima of Tawhid requires us to reject every Taghut (including the rulers of the tawagheet) but the madkhalis try to remove aspect of rejecting Taghut from the kalima
rght one of their methods is to drop authentic hadiths and verses that are known and undisputed for falsehood for example they tell us we must obey the guardian (ولي الأمر) and no matter what he does and it is not permissible to rebel against him and they do not say who is the real Muslim guardian (ولي الأمر) according to the hadiths and verses no they do not do this they just drop the correct from the Sunnah and the qur’an on the false reality which is far from the hadiths and ayyat as another example they tell us the hadith of the prophet (....if he takes your money and lashes your back) and this hadith according to the scholars is interrupted and some of them interpreted the end of the hadith (if he takes your money and lashes your back) that if he does this is within one of the limits of allah
@@Lion-qv7ns Subhaballah. The thing is, EVEN IF the hadith of the ruler beating the backs and taking wealth was authentic, it does not say to obey rulers who change the ahkaam of Allah Azza wa Jal. It refers to rulers not following the guidance or Sunnah of Rusulullah (sulallahu alayhi wa salam). Obviously unjustly beating someone and taking their wealth is not from the guidance or Sunnah but a ruler could do this and STILL legislate 100% by Allah's Laws. In that case he would be oppressive but still a Muslim.
I have learn so much brother Jazakallahu khayran, these internet brothers need to leave certain things to the scholars or our elder brothers who are really studied on these subjects
Jazakallaahu khair brother. SubhanAllaah, finally someone is making a wholesome sense. May Allah grant us the unity and victory over all the confusions and Kuffar. Ameen!
May Allah reward you Shaykh, I was waiting for somebody to make a video clarifying these matters which have been horribly misconstrued by many. What's so shocking is that these individuals have even gone against the opinion of the Shuyookh they claim to be so connected with and follow. Many within the English-speaking Dawah scene will even go as far as to say certain shuyookh are from the Khawarij, such as Shaykh Abdul Aziz At-Tarifi. This is so shocking because these claims aren't even made by the scholars in Saudi, instead, the likes of Shaykh Rajihi and Shaykh As-Sa'd praise him heavily. Once you learn Arabic you realise what you were told about these individuals was far from reality and instead although scholars might disagree with each other there is a level of respect between them they don't rush to call them an innovator.
The kufr dun kufr part was a fatwah given by a sahabi due to what was happening during that time..why do they take something a sahabi said over the judgemnt of Allah and his Messenger?
Took a while but watched the whole video. Great points and very eye opening for me since I am new to this topic. May Allah reward you for your efforts.
@@israalights wa iyyakum. May Allah have mercy on you and brother Daniel. Both of you have helped me break free from a liberal and secular understanding of Islam.
oh man even arabic videos about Islam are a few of them like you this video should also be translated for arabs i hope you will make a similar video in arabic or someone will translate it i am a little weak in english but i plan on venturing into translating it if i decide I will ask your permission because this video is precious
A much needed thorough clarification of the matter at hand. Very beneficial, although the fact that you have to spend all this time trying to clean up the mess made by our brother Saajid is a bit frustrating, to say the least. May Allah accept your efforts, brother 🤲
Brother I have a request, if you agree with it insha Allah. We see a lot of people talking about not speaking against the ruler, but I don't think many people understand who is a legitimate ruler in Islam in the first place. So the one who has been given a valid bay'ah is a legitimate imam for the people, but one who is in power because his grandfather was appointed by the British or French to rule their colony for example or the one who is in power by force without a bay'ah is not a legitimate imam just like someone without 'aqd of nikah is not legitimately married. So the rules of advising etc. don't apply to them anyway and the problem is deeper than just a ruler who needs to be advised or corrected. Could you do a talk on this subject, if you agree with that ? The ummah doesn't really have much idea of who's a legitimate ruler in Islam anyway, it's not a subject anyone has taught about. Jazak Allah for reading dear brother.
Alhumdulillah for this, I had to argue and explain a group of my friends when the pledge video of the Muslim brother pledging to the "king" came to light. I explained to them but with my limited knowledge I couldn't convince them. I knew nothing can come above the Hukum/ruling of Allah. I asked them, if the king says something that goes against the Quran and Sunnah, the one who pledged to the king will have to accept the rulings other than Sharia. May Allah bless you Brother, I've shared this with my friends, hopefully they will understand the importance of not falling for the modern secular ruling.
As salamu aleiykum brother, it is very rare for someone to have that knowledge nowadays. Thank you for spreading the truth, may Allah bestow you with his bounty for your diligence and forbearance.
Jazak Allah dear brother, you gave a very good and most importantly the correct explanation according to the din of Islam, may Allah accept from you, may Allah make you and us see the khilafah very soon, when Allah wills.
Alhamdulillah.. Brother Saajid should just do a reminder videos on his channel and fight against the Liberal agenda and stay away from more advance Aqeedah or Fiqh or any advance fields in the Shari'ah. It hurts when I hear him talking about the more advance topics in the Shari'ah.
Jazak Allahu Khairan brother, this was a very insightful video. Could you suggest any extra resources especially those that target dealing with Tawāghīt, politics in the current day for Muslims and so forth. Even materials that go into details/are advanced would be highly appreciated! Also, what do you say in regards to the argument that "the Khilāfah only ended with the fall of the Ottoman empire"? Is this a valid argument - considering the history and the various sects who ruled in later generations before the turks? Any note, resources or info you can provide on this would be great!
This video is unbelievably eye-opening and very humbling subhanallah. I wish i was a scholar so i could do a better job of explaining islam to others but im miskeen. May allah preserve you and the scholars of islam who are real. Sheikh are you a scholar by the way?
May Allah reward you for this great effort. Striving for the khilafah is should be the aim of every Muslim heart. Yes the methodology should be the one that was followed by the great peoples of islam but some scholars making it like a major sin is destroying the Muslim Ummah as they are being conflicted by the idea that religion is separate from the state. And the only thing that need to do is to pray and fast and thats it.
Assalumu alaikum wa rahmatulLahi wa barakatuhu. You are so educated MA shaaLLah, may Allah reward you in this dunya and also in akhirat. You mentioned almost 90% of the peoples mistake today. About aqeedah(with this NEOSALAFIS), about dawah(youtube fatwas by bloggers) and other stuff. I see you have good akhlaq, (im mixing words because I don't know how it translates to english, im not native speaker) I'll make dua for you and for your familly that were before you and will after, may Allah make from us more people like you and less ''youtubesalafisheikhs''.
Jazakallah Khayran for this well referenced and thorough explanation of why what brother Sajid said is incorrect. It shows the importance of studying the deen and having understanding before making videos about such as you put it "contravertial" issues
Thanks a lot Sheikh . I would request you to make a detailed video about Hizb ut Tahrir. What should be our approach towards them ? Should we join HT? Are the on the right methodology? They also claim that HT is the only organization working for the establishment of the Khilafa.. How much correct is this claim ?
O Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others, or I am misguided by others, lest I cause others to err or I am caused to err, lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others.
Some of these Madklais had no problems with criticizing Qatar when diplomatic ties were cut between them and KSA and their allies. Also, Gulf States participated in air strikes campaigns against Libya, according to the Madkali logic, this is kuruj. Haha. But, double standards.
These neo-salafis called themselves apolitical but what they say have strong political consequences. This is why those who have some clear political agenda use them and support them
@@israalights Aamiin Allahuma aamiin. You're very welcome to visit Indonesia to explore the Islamic books which been kept way before the saud regime established. May Allah Subhanahu wata'ala grants you a highest level of Islamic knowledges, Insya Allah...
A lot of modernism Muslim will say that "lets focus on tauhid and fard first and when we get stronger and bigger then we'll talk about Islam in politic or hudud and shariah or legislation"....I find that a lot of young Muslim are mislead with these kind of talk and they started to behave like modern secular Christians. This is what Christians now days are doing, they said forget about the law of the bible or torah or legislation or what not, what's important is that you love GOD or love Jesus, even if you disobeyed GOD's law it's still ok. This is dangerous. Modern Muslim nations and youth now are becoming like the Christians and Jews.
Saajid's biggest issue is he doesn't like making himself available for public discussion. He only loves making reaction videos. This doesn't help at all.
That is correct. Apart from personal "issues" and name calling, we should be able to discuss respectfully on ideas with the intention of finding the truth or conveying it
Thank you جزاك الله خيرا I actually enjoyed this video and found it informative I did not want it to end. This is the third time I watch it. Please keep doing long videos like this with references and examples.
the statement "Kufrun duna Kufr" of ibnu Abbas is not applicable to the democratic rulers nowadays in the islamic world. it is obvious to everyone that the constitutions instituted there are patently and fundamentally divorced from the original Islamic system. In these countries, the majority of laws are contrary to Islamic laws. And even those laws that outwardly correspond to Islamic requirements are not fundamentally Islamic, since according to the constitutions they were only legitimized by the majority and not by Islamic sources. A law in such countries is valid because the majority approves of it. According to these constitutions, the fact that something is specified in the Islamic sources has no bearing on the legislation at all. In fact, the constitutions described are undoubtedly secular systems, regardless of whether this is expressly mentioned in them or not. Even an apparent reference to Islam as a basis mentioned in some constitutions does not change this fact, since it is at best a facade that loses all meaning due to the overriding principles. And even these façade-like remnants are being tried to be removed persistently and with all their might, as is currently clearly shown by the example of Tunisia. Furthermore every president has to swear allegiance to the secular democratic constitution in order to become president. They maintain and uphold the system by implementing kufr laws and remain in their position as presidents. This itself is major kufr. And this itself shows that they prefer democracy over sharia. We judge by what is apparent. As we know there is a ruling in Islam called "contentment with kufr is kufr". The murjiah believe that kufr can only take place when someone is content with kufr with the heart / disbelieves with the heart, regardless of kufr statements and actions a person is committing. This ideology is contrary to Ahlus Sunnah, because according to Ahlus Sunnah Kufr can also take place with words and actions regardless if one disbelieves with the heart. For Kufr to occur, Juhud and Istihlal are not a condition in statements and actions which are major kufr. The thought that the statement of Ibnu Abbas would automatically mean that every ruler, judge, etc. who professes Islam must be regarded as a sinful Muslim in the worst case, no matter what kufr acts he commits, is insane.
جزاك الله خيرا يا شيخ وكثر من أمثالك في الأمة ونفع بك وجعل عملك خالصًا لوجه، استمعت لمقطع هذا الأخ ساجد وهالني ما جاء فيه من مغالطات كما استمتعت لمقاطع أخرى له تأكدت من بعدها أنه متأثر بالفكر المدخلي أو الجامي كما يسميه بعضنا هنا في السعودية وطريقتهم في رصف الأحاديث والنصوص وضرب بعضها ببعض ليخرجوا بخطاب يلائم الأوضاع السياسية ويرضي الحكام ويضع كل من يعارضهم في دائرة الخوارج الذين يباح قتالهم وحتى قتلهم في عرفهم على خلاف ما كان عليه السلف في حكم الخوارج وهو باب واسع كما تعلمون ولكن للأسف ولأني أفهم اللغة الإنجليزية أحسن مما أتحدث بها لم يكن بوسعي الرد مفصلًا على هذا الأخ ولكنك ولله الحمد أثلجت صدورنا بردك هذا ودحضك لمغالطاته وتخليطه هدانا الله وإياه للحق وأعاذنا من شرور الفتن وهيأ لهذه الأمة أمر رشد وعز وتمكين وعودة صادقة لدين الله ووحدة الكلمة والصف والاعتصام بحبل الله المتين.
صحيح..ساجد ليس مؤهل للافتاء ولا للتحدث في أمور العقيدة ويجب عليه ان يتذكر ان حصوله على شهادة في تخصص الدعوه لايؤهله للتحدث كعالم. ما يثير الاستياء فعلا هو هذا الاستسهال في انتقاد الآخرين والتعليق على اي شيء ونصب المحاكامات للدعاة... إحدى مساوئ المداخلة هو هذه الشدة والغلظة على الدعاة والمصلحين والشيوخ المخالفين لنهجهم في مقابل الخضوع والمسكنه للحكام ....لا والله ماهكذا كان الصحابة عليهم رضوان الله ...بل كانوا اشداء على ذوي القوة والمسؤولية رفقاء على عوام الناس والضعفاء
