mashallah very beneficial and empowering for Muslims to navigate through the various ideological landscapes

Insha'Allah I intend to listen to this whole lecture. These are the most pressing topics of our time and may Allah bless Sheikh Abdullah for addressing them.

This is the kind of education that we are very lacking in today, and you are giving it for free. May Allah accept your deeds.

May Allah swt bless Ustadz Abdullah and his families. Aameen.

This is real scholarship, not some weak motivational preaching with no nutritional value.

We are waiting for the rest of the lectures.

The Taliban never said it’s haram for women to go get an college education. Their stance is it’s permissible but not Fard like what a lot of modernist say, also the women education that they say it’s haram is the western established NGOs schools which even a lot of westerners are also against because of them teaching female empowerment(feminism)liberalism,lgbtq, gender intermingling!

@13:00 Very Good! Thank you for saying to check the references and research. This is important that Muslim speakers should do their best to provide references. I also liked the fact that you prepared a PowerPoint slides. JazakAllahu Khairan

This over dawah guys drama any day . May Allah swt bless you Abdullah for this, it's really beneficial and create more content like these in the coming days .

JazakAllah khairan very benificial lecture!

جزاك الله خيرا.

Wow I cant wait to watch this

I find it very beneficial when you use islamic terms to explain their system. It makes it clear in the sense that I can identify the points to which I can compare with islam or to derive a deeper understanding of their way of thinking. Allahumma barik.

May Allah reward you.

Some scholars from Britain went to Afghanistan and met with the Taliban officials, they asked about women's education, they only banned liberal studies, healthcare etc is still going on.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:10 🧐 The conference aims to help Muslims navigate contemporary issues influenced by various ideologies. 14:24 🤝 Muslims shouldn't be judged for adopting certain ideologies due to a lack of Islamic political and economic education. 19:31 💡 Saint Paul adapted Christianity to Roman beliefs to make it more appealing, highlighting the influence of societal context on religion. 27:48 🔀 Changing Islam to align with Western ideologies might make it more palatable to Westerners but could dilute its core principles and purpose. 28:17 📜 Adapting religious beliefs to suit the prevailing ideology raises questions about the authenticity and relevance of those beliefs. 28:57 📚 The Essenes were influenced by Hellenic (Greek and Roman) culture even before Christianity, highlighting the historical context of cultural adaptation. 29:28 🤝 Christian political philosophy began with Emperor Theodosius and the denial of rights to non-Christians, especially those who denied the Trinity. 30:11 ⛪ Theological differences within Christianity, particularly between Protestants, led to conflicts and even violence based on differing interpretations of the Akida (belief). 32:29 🧐 The Enlightenment emerged in response to religious conflicts in Europe, emphasizing moral and political philosophy without relying on religious revelation. 39:36 🕊️ Enlightenment ideals included individualism and equality, with the belief that every person is the absolute sovereign of themselves, regardless of gender. 52:58 📜 John Locke, a prominent liberal thinker, had intolerant views towards Catholics, Muslims, and atheists, as he believed they couldn't be trusted due to their obedience to external authorities or their lack of belief. 54:49 🌍 Social liberalism emerged to address the limitations of classical liberalism, advocating for equal opportunities and welfare to counteract exploitation and inequality. 57:08 ⚖️ Materialist political philosophers consider their ideas to be just and may mistreat those who disagree, believing they support injustice. 59:57 🧱 Social liberalism attempted to balance classical liberal principles with measures like anti-trust laws to prevent excessive concentration of wealth. 01:05:29 🗣️ Social liberalism's emphasis on individual freedom and protection from societal oppression led to restrictions on free speech in the name of tolerance, creating new forms of intolerance. Conservative thinkers emphasize stability, the preservation of traditional values, and the importance of social institutions. 01:16:13 🗳️ Liberals can be inconsistent, like preserving Egyptian culture but not British culture, showcasing a dichotomy. 01:16:41 🏥 Conservatives may resist actions like vaccination and climate change measures due to concerns about government overreach and individual freedoms. 01:17:48 🇺🇸 The historical context of American politics reveals that Democrats and Republicans held different stances during the Civil War, influenced by economic factors. 01:21:01 💰 Adam Smith, often associated with capitalism, argued against mercantilism and promoted free trade for economic prosperity. 01:31:57 🌐 Liberalism's belief in individualism can lead to contradictions with the concept of God, potentially contributing to atheism. 01:39:33 🧐 Belief in absolute self-ownership can be seen as making oneself a god, but it doesn't mean you own yourself. Just because you control something doesn't mean you own it. 01:40:14 🗳️ Founding fathers of modern Western Civilization were wary of majoritarian populism and designed systems to prevent it from infringing on rights and principles. 01:42:05 📚 Justice is not merely what one wants it to be; it is determined by God's definition, not individual preferences. 01:50:46 🚫 The conservative approach to preserving tradition can lead to stagnation, hinder social progress, and weaken civilizations over time. 02:00:06 🔄 Jordan Peterson's criticism of post-modernism is ironic as he himself questions the literal interpretation of the Bible, illustrating elements of post-modern thinking. 02:02:10 📚 Abdullah Al-Andalusi discusses the value of interpretations and the role of the Bible in shaping mental schemas. 02:02:25 🌍 Conservatives may embrace post-modernism, as they distrust metanarratives, focusing on what works rather than following ideologies. 02:03:05 🕌 Islam refutes conservatism, emphasizing following what Allah has revealed rather than adhering blindly to tradition. 02:05:20 💬 Conservatives oppose tyranny and often question authority, contrasting the perception that they blindly obey rulers. 02:20:57 🔄 Being kind or accepting of others doesn't necessarily make you a liberal, socialist, or conservative Muslim; it depends on your beliefs and actions. 02:26:02 📚 Abdullah Al-Andalusi discusses the distinction between liberalism and socialism, emphasizing that having graduated taxes for the wealthy, as in liberalism, doesn't equate to socialism. 02:28:00 🏛️ Classical Islamic scholars had significant agreement on the core principles of Islamic political systems, with minor variations related to leadership qualifications. 02:31:46 🚗 The discussion highlights that Muslims can adopt practical advice and objective knowledge from individuals like Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate, especially when it pertains to general human psychology and achievement. 02:44:37 🤔 Abdullah Al-Andalusi addresses the question of whether Muslims should speak out for the truth, even if it risks their employment, suggesting the importance of having a plan and using resources wisely. 02:49:43 🌍 The concept of conservatism is discussed in the context of preserving traditional practices and cultures in various Islamic countries. It highlights the need to define "what works" and whose definition of success is being used. 02:51:18 🗳️ In the Muslim world, advocating for change involves using various methods such as civil disobedience, verbal critique of rulers, and working to change beliefs and ideas. 02:56:42 📜 Muslims in the West should engage in calling non-Muslims to Islamic principles and criticize inconsistencies while cooperating with them on issues aligned with Islamic values. 03:05:03 🤝 Engaging in civil disobedience and working toward change is important but should be carried out within the boundaries of Islamic principles, seeking to implement the Deen comprehensively. 03:07:23 💡 Muslims should focus on changing beliefs and ideas within themselves to bring about real change, as indicated in the Quran, rather than relying solely on external actions. 03:14:22 🌍 Adapting classical Islamic guidance to modern technology and structures is a challenge, but technology can make Islamic practices more accessible and effective. 03:16:17 🌍 In modern times, communication and travel have made it easier for regions to have their own imams, addressing historical issues. 03:17:27 🌐 Muslim countries uniting under one leader and trading with each other could enhance self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on global trade systems. 03:18:23 👥 Nation states can lead to friction between different ethnic groups, as they unite people based on ethnicity and language, which was not the case in the ancient world. 03:19:33 💡 Implementing Islamic economic systems requires overcoming ignorance about the intricacies of Islamic economics and challenging false assumptions. 03:23:43 📚 The best way to learn about Islam is to read widely, engage critically with different viewpoints, and connect your knowledge of the world with the Quran. 03:40:43 🤝 The Muslim world often lacks principled leadership, leading to cynicism and power struggles, as religious labels are misused. 03:42:10 📖 Both conservatives and liberals may use Quranic verses to support their ideologies, but it's essential to define Quranic justice within the Quran itself. 03:43:23 🤔 Examining differences of opinion can reveal deeper principles, encouraging critical thinking and a better understanding of arguments. 03:50:21 🏛️ Governments and institutions, not just individuals, are crucial for maintaining order and justice in society. 03:57:55 📜 Constructing institutions and adhering to constitutions can help build and sustain Islamic civilization, emphasizing the importance of collective systems over relying on individual leaders.

Legend

And stay in your houses and do not adorn yourselves like in the times of ignorance.? (Surah al-Ahzab, 33) However, if there is a need, then it will be permissible for her to emerge outside, provided the rules of Hijab are fully observed. As far as the driving of cars is concerned, it would be permissible, subject to the following conditions: a) There is a genuine need. For example, the husband can not drive due to some reason or there is an emergency, etc… This shows that at times when the husband is being chauffer-driven by his wife, it will not be permissible. b) There is no alternative. c) There is no apparent fear of life or respect. If there is just the possibility, then it would be permissible. The argument that women will have to come into contact with strangers in case of an accident, etc is not valid, as coming into contact with strangers can also occur whilst she is walking. When a woman goes to purchase something, she may no doubt have to converse with non-Mahram men. d) The rules of Hijab are fully observed. e) If she is driving without the company of any of her Mahrams, then it should only be within 48 miles. In conclusion, it is permitted for a woman to drive a car with adherence to the aforementioned conditions. However, to avoid it is always advisable; rather staying within the home (as much as possible) and not emerging outside should be practice. And Allah Knows Best Muhammad ibn Adam Darul Iftaa

The reason it’s a obligation for men to go to college is because when you go to college as a man you do it to earn a degree and have a higher chance to work to provide for your family because it’s fard for the husband to provide not women.

Will the rest of the lectures be uploaded?

🤲🤲❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹

I thought I would watch it on 2X speed but his accent is too hard to understand 😬😁

52:17 wonder who that is

Paul changed the teachings of Jesus because he was a traitor, he collaborated with the Roman empiyer to get rid of Jesus, and changed the teachings of Jesus, Jesus died for sinners, as if the actions of Paul and the ruler of Rome had been abolished by the goodness of Jesus, to cover up their crimes, because the followersthe true jesus would not accept the betrayal, they fought back, they were arrested and killed, paul was given power by rome, and made the churches with new teachings, and covered up his crimes they said jesus died for sinners

This is amazing

.

See brother Abdullah you said look at Pakistan they have madrasa in Pakistan which they also teach women in their, well the Taliban banned women universities not women madrasas because women learning Islamic knowledge under the guidance of sharia is Fard not Secular education.

Don't people watch knowmorenews

Clapping is not permissible and is deemed either makruh or haram after a khutbah or speech of any Islamic manner. Muslims should not copy the ways of ignorance

The presentation was fantastic however I have a contention that wasn't raised by the audience. Dr Khalid Abu el Fadl is not a liberal. He's has completed 13 years of classical Islamic education abd training, how much have you had? What's the basis of your claim that Dr Khalid is a "liberal"? Please put aside your differences and state the facts. If you're going to state an opinion on someone, then make that clear.

Secularism allows reform, co existence. Fundamentalism is the root cayse of our downfall as a sixirty. You can oreach bout hiw great islamic law is whole u sit in a democratic society yourself. Let not religious kaws guide an already violent people

When will you talk about fabrications and problems in Hadith and Fiqh books? Pakistan is a failed place now because of blasphemy and apostasy laws, but people like you will never talk about it. West has problems, but so do we Muslims. Very rich of you to talk about Western short comings but at the same time advocating Islamist ideologies.
