I stumbled upon this channel recently and I have enjoyed listening to the reasonable nature of the ideas presented! Even though I am not a religious person, learning about how other people view the world is interesting.
May Allah guide you. Islam is THE religion, if you wish to understand it better just keep listening to this scholar, I attest too the great majority of his views but I attest even more to his beautiful and civilized way of explaining.
@@Financial_Revolution Thank you for the well wishes Mr Makki, I too wish you all the best going forward. As for becoming religious I don’t see that ever happening to me. I have watched many religious vs atheist debates on RU-vid and for some reason I have been persuaded by the atheist arguments. I was religious for 17 years. I don’t even know what it means to believe in God or Allah anymore if that makes sense? I can try to pray to God but it just feels like I’m speaking to myself. Scripture won’t influence me because I need some stronger evidence if that makes sense? I would like to believe in Allah but I don’t know how to and the atheists arguments have completely removed any religious beliefs I once had. And just because I have no religion does not mean I cannot enjoy the videos of this bright man 😊
@@liamweinberg4902 I won’t try to persuade you, god guides whom he wills and leads astray whom he wills. But know this, Islam can never make your life worse, only better
@@liamweinberg4902 Best wishes from me.Please do check the Thought Adventure Podcasts on RU-vid for stunning discussions between Muslim thibkers and Atheists.
Thank you Dr Shabir, I am from Afghanistan and I always hear your teaching, so much love from us to you and your channel, please show people the right way, all Muslims need a proper guidance, a person like you, a Muslim who knows all the truth about our den and it’s beauty to save others from suffering due to the misleading, believe it or not it is near that people turn their faces due to these injustice and people in the cloth of shayatin like taliban, I was kid and I remember how they were rude to the people and unkind. Still some people think they might not did this and that but actually they did all bad things to Afghans what ever you heard from in the past and now, they killed 1000s of people just by suicidal attacks just in common people all were innocent. As you said what was that fear for, it is because of those bad memories zulm, for Afghans they are like nightmares, they were hitting women and men on the streets. I remember everything, please bring some changes to the world of Muslims by your words, actually they are not Muslims but they are more slaves of political bonds between countries. And history is clear behind them. Afghanistan culture and people are more Islamic than other countries, it is very hard to hear when a jahil comes and says, you are not Muslim, and kills you for that. This is the reality of today’s world, Muslims are in a very bad position now, why because problems raised among us, by other religions and nations Muslims are used to kill other Muslims by making groups of extremist. However, words are a lot, but I appreciate the sense you have and for being a true Muslim.
I left Christianity after watching almost all your debates. The way you dealt with Christian apologists with high respect made me realise that this guy truly believes in GOD. May ALLAH grant you paradise. I am learning a lot
I think if more Muslims were like Dr Shabir, Christian and Muslims could reach a genuine compromise in regards to our differences, build bridges and live in peace. Interesting upload and we all pray for peace in Afghanistan and its new government.
Mashallah Dr Shabir, thank you for showering us with your wisdom. Our deen is beautiful and we need more people like you to show the world what true Islam is.
@Baby Hunn The Quran itself does not say death to apostasy bro. You completely missed the point of the above video. I do not believe anyone has the right to end someone’s life if he chooses to convert. God will deal with you rightfully when you die. Allah knows best. The Quran says there is no compulsion in religion.
I am not a Muslim, but I have subscribed, why?, because it is only through understanding that we ALL grow as Human beings and Dr Shabirs conversations resonate as a man of wisdom and insight, I have learned a lot, one of my good friends is also an Iman. in my Culture, I live in the UK, I see a lot of ignorance and hate aimed at Muslims, recently a crazy person shot some people with a Bow in Norway, because this murderous individual had a supposed link to a Mosque, all the hate started on Social Media, pumped up by the Media, which was very sad, to those people spewing hatred I pointed out that if they wanted to hate someone, then they could hate me, as I am an Archer and White, so had more in common with the guy they hated, this was appreciated by many Muslims, who thanked me, we are stronger together, I have never felt comfortable with Western Countries in Afghanistan or any of these Wars, would it not be better to send Religious Scholars and Teachers!
Salam Alaikum to my brother and sister in Islam...Dr. Shabir and Dr. Safiyyah Ally...you are certainly on the top list of current academic scholars in Islam, practicing what you preach in terms of peace, tolerance, understanding, and education in our Umma and its current state of affairs, in our community locally and globally...and for that I deeply appreciate ALL that you continue to do for all of us. May Allah swt continue to guide all of us and bless you and your family and our humble umma all together. We love you from Ann Arbor Michigan!!
Love you Dr. Shabir and Dr. Safiyyah - I really appreciate your work and your efforts to share with us all your knowledge and views on Islam and the Quran.
hello i'm a Christian. i'm not here to critizes your belief. let's be friends. I have few good musilm friends. what would be the fate of poor musilms that living under taliban? I feel sorry for them
the most constructive discussion on tali ban issue.the beauty of Dr.shabir is that he doesn't refer to only one source but gives us example from many others which expose us to different point of views and allows us to have a clear picture. i wish i had found him earlier.
The prophet saw gave protection to the Jews in his time .If the Taliban stick to the teachings of Quraan hadith then Christians will be safe inshAllah.
I'm Afghan and we don't have Christians, we have Sikhs and handful of Hindus due to Afghanistan once was bordered with India before Pakistan formation. So keep your Christian missionary propaganda to yourself.
Al hamdulilah, very balanced view on Afghanistan, I'm was struck by the beautiful words of Ibn Qayyim Jawziyya, "when he we apply Islamic law we should see it's beauty and we if we don't see it's beauty then it's not the Shariah". I think that sums up not only the current situation in Afghanistan, but much of the Islamic world where attempts to implement Shariah have been made. Unfortunately, we see that women most often than not suffer the most and are deprived the most from these attempts to implement Shariah.
@@fadumohassan4486 I have thank you for your encouragement . I am a practicing member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I do think if we listen to one another we can build bridges between Islam and Christianity.
Your faith depends on the saying of other people and all the conditioning you have received since childhood. Open your eyes and see the world by yourself
@@innerhome Depends on where you learn it from. The Guardian, Hindustan Times, The Taliban etc. aren't really good sources. But these guys, them I like.
Dear Safiyyah, I love your channel and enjoy Dr. Shabir's views on certain religious issues. Just watched your video on the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Just would like to let you know that most of what the media is conveying is misinformation. I live here and what the media is conveying is nowhere near the reality on the ground. If you like to talk in details, I would love to give you a detailed account of the events.
"If it is beautiful, it's Islam; if it is ugly, it's not!" Dil jeet liya, Dr Shabir! May Allah bless you with all success in this world and beyond. Ameen.
A REAL WAKE UP CALL F0R PEOPLE RELYING 0N PEERS As we know the most pious person 0f Allah's was the Prophet P.B.U.H & he said the following to his daughter 👉🏻 l can not save you from hell only your deeds can, yet people are relying on other pious people to save them 🤔 Saḥīḥ Muslim 2O5
So we will follow Quran or Hadith if it sounds good to us. We actually don't care that what Allah ordered us to do. isn't it? We are human and we will have different opinions about some things. We can never agree about the legal actions. Some will say it's good where others won't. So Only the legal rule needs to come from the divine source (Allah SWT) which we Muslims are bound to obey. we don't know many things where Allah knows everything. Sometimes we think this is good for us but in reality, this is not. So Allah fulfils that with other things. This is Allah's judgement. Hijab is ugly for some western or moderate Muslims but for others it's beautiful. how will you judge that who is right?
Beauty and ugly are subjective ideas that are shaped by the degree of socialization and exposure to social media too in the modern age. What was beautiful in one age is no longer seen as beautiful today, similarly too is the reverse. Shuttlecock dress was beautiful then, seductive g-string is beautiful today but we cant go with g-strings, can we ? What is important is to hew close to Quranic teachings and authenticated traditions as is spiritually feasible in the contemporary age. These should serve as the bottomline, period !
I like it that he didn't gave verdict on Taliban is good or bad . He condemned old practice of Taliban and wished for reforms. Also many muslims do agree that after 300years early islamic period all the Classic interpretators lost their tracks. We don't have to reform Islam we have to reform our interpretations. No true verdict of Quran can do bad, if it's doing bad then it's not Quranic simple.
Not directly related to the topic, but the quote from Ibn Qayyim's book, "I'lam al-Muwaqqi'in" strikes me deep. I use my own acid test that any (claim of) "Islamic law" that I receive from any source should help individual or society to be more productive and happy (with productivity is loosely defined) or I'll put it in "park for later" bin, but law brings about beauty is higher league entirely. I have to admit that I tend to avoid writing of Ibn Qayyim al Jawzi or Ibn Taymiyya for reason many muslims are familiar with, but this quote by Dr. Shabir proves that I have missed great lessons and may fall into fanaticism that I have been trying to avoid. I think I'll buy myself a copy of I'lam al-Muwaqqin. Thank you Dr. Shabir. May Allah SWT rewards you and those involve in this channel abudantly.
@@innercitadel3279 careless generalization, I suppose? Some of their writings involved critics or rebuttal to other renowned scholars which I don't think I am qualified to join such discussion, moreover, some said that the their writings were use as inspiration by some terrorist groups. The thing is, many local publishers prefer to publish that genre from both Imams, either to support certain political agenda or for sheer profit. Hence I only look for the kitaab that are recommended to me by people I trust, not just randomly browse in local book store.
for those who think Taliban are about Islam they are wrong, this time it is about all pashton tribes are being united , and Taliban are in majority pashtons , that why the government forces did too mach tachtical withdrawal, to defeat local residents which majority of them were non pashtoon minorities, although Taliban this time are more civilized then befor . the pashtoon tribe have ruled Afghanistan for 200 years they are more experienced in rules then other , but other sects are not experienced in rulings, in the last 20 years of democracy all they did was creating militants ,major corruption, as some borders was on there hand and always putting pressure on the central government, pne other reason that central government collapsed was all major players and neighbouring countries were supporting Taliban to defeat USA and NATO hance all nations were rabing their hand and expecting a civil war since both side were afghans the central government surrendered peacefully.
Taliban are Afghans! And they dont accept Pakistani Panjabi Interference in Afghanistan because a lot of unrest came through Pakistan to Afghanistan through the ISI in the last years. Even that bad occurrence recently in khost had happened through pakistan.
You keep saying extremism, isn’t hell fire & punishment described in the Quran extreme? Does that mean we Should we get rid off the real scholar “Allah”? Don’t use the word extreme lightly mate.
@@islasophia3699 hes referring to the interpretation of some concepts. Some aspects are crystal clear, but there are many secondary aspects that require interpretation and it seems many scholars (especially due to the influence if the wahabbi movement) take an extreme interpretation
@@Hamza000h I appreciate your response. Honestly we are living in times of great trials & tribulations & very confusing because everyone thinks they are on the truth. Instead of indulging & naming scholars this name & that name we should focus on our selfs, our prayers, good characters because Allah will not ask you about this scholar & that scholar in your graves so why indulge?
I appreciate this video, as a revert Muslim, I'm glad the US occupation is fading in Afghanistan but now theyre on the world stage and its more crucial now for them to make the right moves. I pray Allah guides them towards mercy.
Islamic system is simple, take Saudi Arabia system minus (kingship, royalty, wealth inequality and foreign interference). there you go. If the west can accept KSA why not independent Afghanistan. Let's start with independence then security and justice then utilizing national resources for afghan people and work on improving infrastructure, trade, tourism etc. Imagine a train that takes Hujja from Kabul to Mecca directly. And from Wuhan to Kandahar etc. The possibilities are endless once the F ing wars stop.
may Allah grant goodness to us all and grant us steadfastness, oh Allah have mercy upon dr shabir and me for he has outlined the classical knowledge well
Hello. Can I please request that you and the team advertise and promote Dr. Shabir and his intellectual discussions. Many scholars that i see represent Islam in a very forceful way.. But what I feel and many others feel when listening to Dr Shabir is outstanding. Many young people would like to see Dr. Shabir share his knowledge and understanding of the quran and hadith to find hope of how beautiful Islam is. Please can i request for Dr Shabir and his talks to be universally heard. My heart aches knowing such beautiful thoughts and knowledge are only heard by minority Muslims whilst majority Muslims are stuck to listening to certain scholars with a complete different outlook and translation of certain quranic verses, and to keep themselves relevant, they ensure that their website or RU-vid video will be on the top searches. Please, please, can we start sharing and promoting Dr. Shabir. Alhamdulillah for a teacher like him. You give us hope.
Very interesting reflections. Understanding the Quran could be similar to the Bible exegesis. As an new emerging nation is there could be milage in considering 7th Century Constitution of Medina ?
Democracy is the best answer. There is no way you could have an Islamic country.which islam? Wahhabi/salafi/sunni/hanafi/shafei/hanbali/shia? Moderate/extremest?voting?election? It doesn't workout. It is only gonna lead to destruction and bloodshed.
that is a complex question. how a country is run can be dictated by many factors. many of which is influenced by heterogeneity: population, history and monarchy, how the preceding constitution, government and parliament should function whether on the basis of democracy/dictatroship.etc. And there is also the issue of accredited consensus upon which quranic interpretation is applied to execute state law. Islam provides dynamism for many of these variables but it is also dependent on the accredited interpretation by consensus. Ijtihad role is vital. So to answer your question: there is no one modern model that fits all. in my own biased opinion, i do believe a huge classical block of classic laws can be applied to provide state order but should be regularly revised in time in terms of adaptation to new modern problems. Eg. Tunisia: modern concept with many islamic law revision (or so ive read). Malaysia: postcolonial westminister system with parliamentary democracy (muslim majority nation). Afghanistan (tribal dictatorship that could morph into democracy; constitution pending)
a few questions for Dr Shabir: 1) He said the Qur'an is vague. Is that one of the sifaat of Qur'aan, Allaah subHaanahu has described the Qur'an by? If not, from where did he reach the conclusion that the Qur'an is vague? 2) Do we really not know how to apply the commands of Qur'aan and how to interpret them from the seerah of the Prophet? His description is that his character was the Qur'aan. Did the Prophet salAllaahu alayhi wasallam stop women from working? Do we really not know of saHabiyaat that used to work? Did he stop women from going to the masjid? Did he stop women from seeking education? No, rather we have proofs for all these questions from the sunnah where these were not only allowed but we also have clear guidelines and instructions from him. He left behind saying Fear Allaah with regards to the women. 3) You have described that if you prevent evil in public, people will turn to it in private. What is wrong with that? Is that how things were not at the time of Prophet salAllaahu alayhi wasallam? People still committed sins but they knew it was a sin. They did not justify it.
The Quran does not provide direct answers to many aspects of contemporary issues that affect all Muslims today. For example, the Quran does not provide a clear ruling on the smoking of tobacco, permissibility of cloning of human cells, organ transplant, division of assets owned through various tenancy instruments, permissibility of life-insurance, etc etc. One has to apply "Ijtihad" based on Quranic verses to derive a ruling on these issues, and that itself is an ongoing process that differs / evolves according to geography and time. What is ruled as haram today may become halal 10 years later. What is halal in one country may be haram in another. This unending work is undertaken by the people who sit in Fatwah committees all around the world wherever there are Muslims. One cannot trivialise this work of ijtihad. Perhaps this is what Allah SWT intentionally desiged for humanity to apply reasoning.
Correct - Quran is just a stack of papers,. incomprehensible without Hadith and commentaries. See if you can make sense of 3:7 and .3:81 amongst many others. And kudos to you for pointing it out along with other issues. 👍
@@inthenewsbw2003 You can apply rulings without Quran because you're already invalidating everything in it by reinterpreting verses for modern audiences using scholars who could be wrong. We already have some senior scholars saying the vaccine is haram. What now?
@@inthenewsbw2003 The problem with this fatwah committees is that its lead by mullahs that are ignorant, small minded and have no interest in evolving or developing their knowledge. Do you really think these mullahs are learned on the intricasies of financial instruments. They automatically label it all forbidden. They think riba is the same thing as interest payments. Not one is studying evolutionary biology, genetics, etc instead mentioning this in a mosque will get you arrested and kicked out. How do u expect reasoning by such narrow minded people ? Be honest with yourself. when this religion is mentioned what words come to mind ? Is it science ? genetics ? interstellar travel ? philosophy ? music ? art ? progression ? human wellbeing ?
ACTUALLY MOST OF THEM WERE. Mujahideen were the ones who fought soviets. Mujahidin isnt one group..its a group of diffreny factions of them based in difftent areas in afg and ethnic. They had fight beetween themselves as usual. after soviets defeated taliban were one of these factions and they gained grea power
I think the question of being for or against sharia law becomes irrelevant if we accept democracy as the method to create law. One can be inspired by the Quran or the Sunna and use this to propose law. If the people elect this person, he or she can go ahead and present the idea in parlement. If there is a majority for the idea, the proposed law becomes law. This way the people can get to choose the law applied on them and whether this is in accordance with the Quran or the Sunna, is the choice of the people.
In Qur’an Allah wants us to follow the way of the Prophet. We have an example of our Prophet saw and rightly guided Khulfa Rashidun to follow. There are no if and but in Islam. Allah wants us to implement his law, just like it is said in the prayer of Christians(..Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done...). The way has to be none other than but of Rasulallah s.a.w. Democracy is the biggest failure of human history. It is easy to manipulate the ill informed masses to win an election through propaganda. Millions have died in countless wars initiated by so called champions of democracy.
@@iamhusain94 Regarding following "the way of the prophet", off course everybody is free to do so if he or she feels this is the right thing to do. As long as this does not impact other people, I do not see any issues. The situation is totally different if you want to impose this on others without their approval. This would violate the rights of the other person none in the least his or her freedom of religion. Off course I do not agree if you call democracy the biggest failure. However I do think there are lots of things that can be improved. Improvements have to come from the people who make sure they are informed and get involved.
@@iamhusain94 I want to know whether it was commanded to have monarchy in Quran or by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ? Sure he chose Khalifa/Caliph to succeed him (peace be upon him). But did he(peace be upon him) specifically told us to have Caliph way of rule (monarchy), just like he(peace be upon him) specifically told us to do other things say, do not eat with left hand, do not cross dress stuff like that ? I want to know is there any hint from Quran and Sunnah that monarchy is the way to rule ?
Correct me if I am wrong. This is purely *my opinion.* I think as long as shariah is fulfilled, you can rule by monarch, democracy combination of democracy and monarchy anything as long as nothing contradicts Shariah.
Im so glad that im in a western style democracy because the way that the Taliban treat women makes me so happy and glad thankful that im not in any muslim islamic countries
Correct me if I am wrong. This is purely *my opinion.* I think as long as shariah is fulfilled, you can rule by monarch, democracy combination of democracy and monarchy anything as long as nothing contradicts Shariah.
May peace and mercy upon you all...... Islamic laws can not be modified or westernized they remain same as they were before as well as at that time .....
If usa stand aeroplane in any third world country and announc that anyone who want to go to usa come here. Millions of people will arrive. Does it mean that their government is terrible?
Islamic rule is good. But it should be applied as it is. The taliban is applying the law as per their desire which is completely opposite of what the prophet or Islam taught. Islam teaches humanitarian while taliban practices barbarism. Well said Dr
When USSR occupied Afghanistan, USA helped Afghanistan in various ways to remove occupier of their land which is a good thing and all Muslims all over the world were very very happy with USA. After USSR left, USA business was over. After vacating USSR by USA, same group which fought against USSR became more bolden and started engaging in activities not permitted under religion. USA was forced to be present in Afghanistan for security reason and purpose staying mostly in Kabul while taliban brigade were all roaming with assault rifles outside of Kabul. 20 years of presence of USA made Afghanistan people better of with many countries establishing business relationships and women force got recognition in various fields which they were not allowed in the name of Sharia. What Taliban is doing in the name of Sharia is all bull shit when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) wife Khadija was doing business. Income of Taliban from Drugs is all Haram and they have got no right to talk about Sharia when all talibanis are dealing in it and involved in unnecessary chaos, disturbance and violence when Islam is a religion which is brotherly, kind and humble for all.
Some parts of this is very confusing. For example, crimes and punishment are very specific, may not be pretty but it is Islam. We can’t say it’s not Islam. There are many authentic interpretations on which there is consensus. We can spin all we want to but Quran is to be followed as was followed by the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions and there is plenty of documentation available.
I always follow, Let the Quran Speak, and Love Dr. Shabir. in this video Dr. Ally didn't clearly talk about Taliban, this is not only about women education, or other Taliban's devil things they are doing. The killed tens of thousands innocent Afghans, in schools, Mosques, Universities, hospitals, by suicide bombing attacks. And the made a team of thousand suicide bombers in their army now in Afghanistan. They are clearly defending the suicide attack as an Islamic allowance, and they say 25000 of Afghan Muslim scholars gave Fatwa that it is absolutely OK, to do suicide attacks.
The Taliban did not take over by surprise. Anyone who has followed this conflict, and I have since 2001, knew that it was just a matter of time before the Taliban would take over. First of all , the Taliban had already the majority of Afghanistan under their control for a least a couple of years. Only the major cities were not under their control. Also, most Afghans actually support the Taliban. Yes they are very strict and we can certainly question many things that they are doing in name of Islam, but they are not corrupt. The Afghan government was very corrupt. Moreover, most of the civilian deaths were caused by the Western forces. Also, the Westerns forces worked with militias that were active in drug trade and even rape and murder of young boys (watch the documentary "What winning looks like").
You're wrong mate no majority of Afghans support Talibans, they came by force and the Afghans have no say in it. But if you allow an independent election, Taliban as contender and another I'm sure you will realise that Taliban have 10% support. The Afghans have no say in any conflict and in any peace treaty for past 4 decades. People like who enjoy having all the public services such as education health wealth but come here and utter rubbish about Afghanistan 🇦🇫 the Taliban are proxy noting to do with Islam at all, it is all about power, I'm Afghan and I have lived it
Yes, European system is the one that had elected Hitler who killed 6 million Jews. My point is that any system could be good or bad there is no guarantee one way or the other.
@@sidsid9808That was the German system over 70 years ago, which America and other European systems fought against and won at the time. The German system today is completely different. Use your brain and find nuance between the systems today vs the ones in the past.
Thanks for being transparent at 2:21 that all muslims not only want to implement Islam on a personal level but also “on the ground” as well. And you guys wonder why people are Islamophobic? This is a democratic country, not a bloody theocracy.
*In Muslim countries. Only a fool would demand Islamic law in a non-Muslim country. Muslims are commandwd by Prophet to follow laws of the land they're living in. And you're just a troll.
@@maquacr7014 He never said or implied “in muslim countries”. He made a general statement.

but they were inside and around khana kaba. It is not said to go to other people places of worship and demolish them. Islam teaches us to let others follow what they believe in. There is not forcing people in islam.
Muslim (969) narrated that Abu’l-Hayaaj al-Asadi said: ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib said to me: “Shall I not send you with the same instructions as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent me? ‘Do not leave any image without defacing it or any built-up grave without leveling it.’” 2 - Muslim (832) narrated from ‘Urwah ibn ‘Abasah that he said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “With what were you sent?” He said, “I was sent to uphold the ties of kinship, to break the idols, and so that Allaah would be worshipped alone with no partner or associate.” The obligation to destroy them is even stronger if they are worshipped instead of Allaah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Khaalid ibn al-Waleed (may Allaah be pleased with him) on a campaign to destroy al-‘Uzza. and he sent Sa’d ibn Zayd al-Ashhali (may Allaah be pleased with him) on a campaign to destroy Manaat. And he sent ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allaah be pleased with him) on a campaign to destroy Suwaa’. All of that happened after the Conquest of Makkah.
Dr shabir says that Islamic law must be beautiful to be correct. He also says that killing people for adultery is Islamic law. My question is how can killing anyone ever be beautiful?
I hope the best for Afghanistan and the Taliban to follow the Quran and Sunnah. I don't understand what Dr. Ally means to what is "beautiful" and what is "ugly". If he means things that are ugly, that are outside of Islam, I totally agree with him. For example, education for girls, and jobs for women. I hope that the Taliban have good scholars that will help guide them in governing Afghanistan, similar to the way of prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
I respect you sir but your analysis based upon the video clip of kabul airport people running n clinging to us plane is not correct. People are not running out of fear of Taliban but they are running to grab the lucrative offer of settling in US as promised to them by Us.
I appreciate that Shabir is looking at each perspective but still he didn't touch upon what the Taliban leadership's perspective is today with concerns people. For example, they said that there will be no enforcement of Burka but Hijab is to be implemented. They also said that women will be allowed to go out and work within the Islamic limits put by Allah. The Taliban 2.0 is real and we shouldn't totally judge them with the past alone.
Correct but I believe the last thing the Taliban wants is to make people think they've gone "soft" so their word mean nothing now since limits of Islam can also mean exactly as they were 20y ago.
The Taliban kept their wording vague deliberately. They fully intend on using the most extreme interpretations possible and they hope that people won't look too far into it.
brother this is irrational fear and propaganda. Afghanistan is peaceful now and people are satisfied, you just have to visit Afghanistan and not base your view on media reports only
If all the Muslim scholars were like Dr. Shabir Ally, I would be very much positive towards an open dialogue with Islam, being a Christian. This seems to be a very honest and open point of view, clearly, calmy and logically explained, which I think is rare between scholars of Islam.
I think most of the people who wants to leave. Wants to do so because of a free ticket to America no visa no application forms. And they feel they can earn more that side of the world.
Dr. Ally, fear Allah when you're talking about Islam and Muslims I'm an Afghan l know what happened on those days in Kabul airport. those people were not running from Taliban, that you describe Taliban as zombies. They have been called by Americans to take them out to live abroad. Yes they wanted to get out of the miserable life they had. But who was responsible for the situation they were in? Twenty years occupation not Taliban. The time those people were humiliating themselves inside the airport, Kabul city were enjoying their full security and order after twenty bloody years.
When muslims living in relative luxury in the west and arab countries, pass judgement on people who have literally shed blood for this deen, it really is a sad time. Families have been ripped apart, children made orphans. Those same orphans grew up into men and ousted the west from their country wearing slippers. We aren’t fit to lace their boots, and here we are passing judgement on them from some self appointed moral high ground because of what you see on the tv? The host needs to have a word with herself. What makes you think you have an understanding of Islamic Law better than these people? Because you own some obscure youtube channel?? Practice what this deen teaches you and verify yourself the reality on the ground with your own eyes. Not what you’ve heard from your uncle who heard from some whatsapp group. Until then, just stay quiet.
Dr. Shabir I respect your knowledge and teaching. And l love you. But I DIFFER WITH YOU ON THE POINT OF FEAR. THE PEOPLE CLAMOURING TO GET ON THE PLANE TO LEAVE AFGHANISTAN DO NOT NECESSARILY DO SO OUT OF FEAR BUT DESIRE TO ENTER AMERICA. PUT A PLANE TO AMERICA WITH NO VISA REQUIREMENT IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY WITH OR WITHOUT WAR AND SEE THE PANDEMONIUM OF PEOPLE FIGHTING TO GET ON THE PLANE. The stampede is about people trying to make it to America: the land of opportunity. If there is a fear element, it is not as significant as the opportunity to make it to America. I also want to go to America. So don't put a no Visa requirement flight to America in my hood.
