Response to Yasir Qadhi & Dr. Hatem al-Haj 

And a disgusting trait.

It’s not defeatism, we can’t even agree things in our own communities let alone geopolitically. Inshallah we can unite as one ummah but first we need to unite our very own communities before getting ahead of ourselves

@@laproff8290One of the most important points of a caliphate is to unite people.

MuslimZealot hahahaha I love your screen name here hahahaha maashaa'Allah tabaarak Allah yaa akhi fil-islaam, Allahumma baark feeh! What an excellent comment, my dear brother. Keep up the pressure inshaa'Allah...

Unfortunately and I apologize to bursting your bubble shiekh usta isn't an alim. He isn't a scholar not by any standard. I think you need to learn more about the term alim

So Islamic rituals like prayers zakat, haj etc. are ridiculous and need to be squashed!!!???

So aiming for Allah's pleasure is gibberish!!!???

@@najmaalikhan no one said that but you can't call him alim! He doesn't have an ijaza in Islamic sciences. A condition of scholarship is to have an isnad and ijazat and he doesn't have that.

Isn't Islam still technically a capitalist religion? It most closely resembles what we refer to as a social democracy, no? Which in of itself is still capitalism, just obviously with a very different implementation than that of the US for example

@@mortarman83095 No you cant say its capitalist. There may be some overlaps but not many. The capitalist world view doesnt care about the well being of others in the pursuit of making money; thats why you see such huge discrepancies between the rich and the poor today. Islam has a moral basis for its laws. Capitalism doesnt care abt morality. And a clear example is interest; which is allowed in capitalism and is not in Islam. Also Islam prioritizes well being of others over money. Another example is how Oil and water are public property, not private.

@@Hashir198 I'm aware of the fact that Islam bans compound interest and prioritizes well being over money, but that doesn't have to do with capitalism per se, just that it limits the immoral aspects of it, after all Islam is a religion, not a political ideology. Oil and water are meant to be public? First time I hear that one, though just because resources aren't privatized that wouldn't automatically make Islam a socialist religion, since most other things are still privatized (at least, I think they are? I don't know how an "Islamic" corporation would look like, but I don't imagine it to be a socialist one with the worker's making the decisions instead of their CEO)

​​@@mortarman83095 I don't think Islam should be viewed as Capitalistic or Socialist, that is a reductive assessment. Islam transcends any political economic framework because those things essentially are tools to achieve a goal, whether it is to obtain profits (Capitalism), or to fulfill societies needs and maximizing its well-being (Socialism). Islam transcends all of these frameworks by stating that the purpose of anything and everything created is to worship Allah and Allah alone. How to worship? The Islamic laws or Sharia exist to answer that question. So, so long as you follow the Sharia and doesn't contradict it, technically whatever you want to do is allowed. That means, if you want to seize the means of production, distribution, and exchange, replacing the market with a cybernetic centrally planned economy run by the working class to achieve a fully automated post-scarcity classless society, so long as that is allowed by the Sharia, you can do it. Now, does the Sharia allows such a thing? Unfortunately I am not educated enough in this aspect so I don't have the clear answer. But as far as my extremely limited knowledge of the Sharia goes, it is allowed BUT! The Sharia also allow private property to exist, BUT! The sharia also heavily encourage muslims to give away their wealth to the society (donating to the caliphate to become a state owned asset) a.k.a hibah, waqaf, etc. As that will give the givers massive amounts of good deeds that will compound over time. The Sharia prohibit the forceful appropriation of property. Period. But so long as you can achieve the seizure of the means of production without violating the Sharia, then in my opinion, it is fine.

The Khalifah couldn't do anything when Europeans were colonizing Muslim nations.

Because the khilafa was weak at that time, had like 20 rebellions, and didn’t follow the basics such as innovate new technology, promote and seek knowledge, spread the deen, etc.

There is/was no khilafa for around 1400 years except the first 30 years after Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Since then, we have been too cowardly and too weak to establish the system of justice. I do not totally ignore some efforts of muslim kings. Generally, there is no place of kingship or imperialism in Islam.

​@@Palestine-Semitic-Canaanitesvery weonng brother. Learn the difference between kilafah and monarchy rule Kilafah was there till 1920s. You may disagree with their ruling style but these were all Kilafah.

​@Ameer-is3dh Prophet Muhammad pbuh didn’t call it khilafa. Generally, Khilafa can not be inherited. It was against the basics of justice. They killed their loved ones to gain the power. We muslims miserably failed for 1400 years to establish a system where the best of the best among the ummah can come at the top and lead the ummah. It was not an impossible project or a system but we never tried or participated in this fard.

May Allah bless you. Please subscribe to get channel and spread the word inshallah.

All classical scholars said its an obligation on every muslim. Abu Bakr RA and all classical scholars forbade even having TWO Amirs at the same time. This is in line with the command to stick with the ummah, do not divide it. Unfortunately, the madkhalis are in power, and their 'rulers' stay in power and keep their wealth as long as the Khilafa doesn't come back.

@@-------....___ The way Yale Graduate tries to legitimise 'Secularized Islam' Is so painful watch.He is almost implying kuffar system is equivalent to sharia.

How will you establish it? The prophet was appointed directly by Allah Hz Abu Bakr was elected by anshar and muhajjirun at bani saqifa event Hz Umar was chosen by Abu Bakr as his succesor Hz Uthman was elected by shura of 6 companions formed by Umar Imam Ali was asked by companions to be caliph Which one method you want to emulate? Or you want to follow Muawiya who tricked Imam Ali to resigned? Or you want to follow abbasid who rebelled against an already established state?

💯 Al Hamdulilah

Shaykh in the video responded to this - Allah SWT does not make something an obligation, unless they have the ability to fulfil that obligation - so one needs to ask themselves why Allah SWT would make the khilafah an obligation if it was not practical for the Ummah? If something is a fard, then by definition of the Quran, it is something that is practical and achievable, we just need to be creative and find ways to work towards it. The least we can do is start having conversations around it, and start thinking positively about how we can bring the khilafah back. The purpose of this video seems to be a response to the negative light in which Shaykh YQ is painting the Khilafah. Shaykh YQ should NOT be spreading such negativity about something that is a fard, and downplaying its importance (which they have done by releasing such a video and previous videos) - Think about what the average layman thinks when a knowledgeable person like Shaykh YQ paints the Khilafah as not being practical - yes the state of the Ummah is sad, and we are in disarray, but lets talk about how we change that, lets start discussion how we can start to unite people, rather than having a defeatist mindset

Our muslims are getting killed left and right, what VIEWS are you talking about on this subject ya Abdullah

@@TheLegendSpeaker My brother, I never claimed it to be impractical. I'm just saying from their point of view, there are practical prerequisites to be taken first. The journey of a 1000 steps starts with the first step. We can't even unite on basic things, we have linguistic and cultural divisions-due mostly to the post Sykes-Picot affairs of the Muslim lands. As for your other points, I agree, the showing it to be in a negative light is uncalled for.

@@Aliii378 Yes, and what have the 2 billion+ Muslims done for them? Our lands are occupied, the militaries of those lands exist to squash rebellion. The people do not have a unified block or infrastructure, let alone a Khilafah.

@@snakejuceWhere did Sh Usta say that there a no practical steps?

We can start with not demotivating people about khilafa

@@TN-kg2lv Agreed 100%

I believe the differences are not fique as presented here with great respect, rather with pragmatism and a capability mind block. Mostly in the lives of those in western world who are not ready to sacrifice and often put up a front which I myself am guilty of.

That is by design,organized , divide and conquer.. remember Hadith says we are 1. Under global tyrannical rule and 2. Watch out for misguided scholars

Arguing persitently that a fareedhah is not a fareedhah (just like with niqaab these days) and rejecting and refusing and reinterpreting the evidences is apostacy! (Sorry I don't have Arabic on my desktop keyboard) Qaala rasool Allah sollaa Allahu `alayhi wa sallam: al-miraa'u fil-qur'aani kufrun! The prophet peace and blessings of Allah upon him said: disputation of the qur'aan is unbelief!

Hatem El Hajji is a self confessed mu`tazili.. have you seen his creed videos on their Yaqeen Institute website???? I am quoting him: "We put rationalization and reasoning BEFORE the divine revelation and where the divine revelation doesn't fit then we reinterpret it to fit with logic using rationalization and reasoning" - MU`TAZILI MANHAAJ!!!! AL-KUFR!!!!

That level of i`tizaal is absolute apostacy according to the hadeeth saheeh I have quoted above!

Don't make irjaa` with these people akhi.. they are absolute munaafiqoon.. check their agenda as a bigger picture, they are the lizard hole... check who all the people are in that circle and what their agendas are and how they all link up, just check that and you will start to get the picture...

Rejection of a saheeh hadeeth, particularly muttafaqun `alayh, is equal to rejection of a verse of the qur'aan just as pushing fabricated and weak narrations to derive ahkaam pertaining to `aqeedah and the halaal and the haraam is distortion of a verse and therefore implicit rejection of a verse by rejecting the authentic meaning and replacing it with an inauthentic meaning. The fact there are 10 ahroof strengthens my point. Just think about it; the meaning is far more important than the text itself, and now consider that even altering a vowel is al-kufr and apostacy.

I dont fullly understand what your saying can you please make a conclusion to your thoughts like therefore ....

No it is not it's Islam because Islam allowed other people to practice their religions Islam even give them the ability to ruled their communities with their laws which secular countries allowed that

Stark fikralmustaniiiir

Because they are shia and the most of people in Iran are either Sunnis or atheist agnostics

@@younessboustta6525 Maybe. They did vote for an Islamic republic. But clearly many people don't like the inevitable restrictions. It looks like a caliphate can only be maintained by force.

@@younessboustta6525 Evidently only 7% of UK Muslims are in favour of a caliphate. 67% are opposed. So they don't want to be restricted.

And there are munafiqeen among us who say no and want manmade laws and systems. Ajeeb. May Allah protect us from these people.

They made their views public, why should he contact them privately?

This level of pessimism when everybody is spreading it left right and center why won't we make a video publicly to correct the people?

And also whats wrong with wanting to get more views? If you are spreading the haqq? Like we should make reputation videos to the Christians that come out and spread misinformation. Why is it that Muslims are exempt from that when the correct Adab is maintained?

You wish ahahaahahaha

Who are you talking about? The scholars who package secularism and feed it as cake to the Muslims telling them that is Islam. Or the rare speakers who are trying to let ppl know it's not cake but instead poison. You're confused.....

It is said that the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets and messengers, to carry on their duties after they are gone. From the seerah, we can see that the Prophet (s.a.w) role wasn't exclusively constrained to simply teaching knowledge but to also guide people. "We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a mercy for the whole world." Quran 21:107 "Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often." Quran 33:21 The Prophet (s.a.w) would build and inspire a whole nation to take that message to the rest of the world. Are you telling me that the prophet never inspired anyone? That the people were never mesmerized by the character of the prophet? From his actions and behaviour even to his worst enemies? Or motivated by the promise of reward and/or punishment of the dunya and hereafter? That the scholars are not meant to emulate the actions of the prophet alongside the teaching of knowledge? Delivering the truth requires delivering it in the most impactful and effective way possible so that the heart is moved and the message is received - and not simply throwing a piece of pamphlet at a stranger.

This right here is the defeatist mentality we need to smash first and foremost. If we're so divided, wouldn't it make sense to give dawah for unity which also outlines how we can unite? There are so many scholars who focus on giving dawah on reading Quran b/c those who don't read, to pray with khushu b/c those who don't pray, to come back to Islam b/c those who've left the deen, etc - khilafa being one of the biggest fard that's been unattended in Islam, it would make sense that you first inform the common public (ie. Muslims) about it. Then once you reach critical mass awareness, you can start organizing and play a political activist role in our community as a cohesive unit accomplishing that one super big goal. All of the "how" is through the example of the Prophet (pbuh) and how he was able to accomplish this in a society without khilafa. Just look at the number of lectures, talks, podcast discussions, response videos that have creeped up for every massacre in Muslim lands due to Western/kufr political dominance, all of them espousing and pushing for political unity to defend Muslim blood - there will be more instances as long as Muslims remain wanting Islam. And nobody is fighting anybody in this video - it's called giving naseeha and it's part of enjoining good and forbidding evil that we're instructed to do when we see real harm being done to the ummah. I suppose some egos will get bruised along the way, but that's the cost of obedience to Allah. 🤷‍♂

@@MuslimZealotWell said.

Please be careful. It is unanimous amongst the scholars that establishing the Khilafa is an obligation (fard) upon us, if you disagree with something that is clear cut in Islam, you could be committing Kufr There are countless hadiths which insinuate that establishing the Khilafa is fard, also the fact that when the Prophet SAW passed away, the Sahaba delayed his burial in order to select a Khalifa. Imagine the Sahaba delaying the burial of the Prophet SAW, just so they could elect a khalifa

@@TheLegendSpeaker then post some where it says it's fard.

@@TheLegendSpeaker much of it as you can? It is obligatory to take care of all matters of religion, starting with the most important, then the next most important, so we should study the religion of Allaah, the most important aspect of which is knowledge of the teaching of Tawheed, then establishing the symbols and rituals of Islam and the other duties. No doubt occupying oneself with these things is the most important thing, and each person should do everything that he is able to do. There cannot be an Islamic state without proper understanding of the religion and achieving eemaan (faith) and Tawheed, and ridding ourselves of shirk, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): Allaah has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely, give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me [al-Noor 24:55]. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stayed in Makkah for thirteen years, calling people to Allaah and teaching Tawheed and Aqeedah, reciting the Revelation to them, debating to the kuffaar with in the best manner, bearing their persecution with patience, as well as praying and establishing the acts of worship which had been prescribed at that time. He did not forgo teaching the religion, although the Islamic state had not been established in Makkah at that time. Moreover, how can an Islamic state be established without an ideological foundation and a society of Muslims who been educated in the religion and have learned it thoroughly? He spoke the truth who said: Establish the Islamic state in yourselves, and it will be established for you in your land. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

Yeah, and what is that a sign of? That we can nilly-willy abolish laws based on our desire? There are clear interpretations of the hadith, and one of most prominent being from the Quran: "And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will surely believe in Jesus before his death." Quran 4:159 And the remaining part of the hadith you didn't mention, also states: "Allah will put an end to all religions except Islam during his time." Meaning that there will be no more People of the Scripture to collect jizya from (as all of them would essentially accept Islam). We also know that Isa (pbuh) would follow the sharia of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), hence even this action of Isa (pbuh) would be from the sharia itself. Point is, you and I are here, the reality is as it's presented - what are we going to do about it?

@@MuslimZealot relax akhi. Have husnathan what it means is before that time theres nothing thats abrogated the establishment of Sharia law as a total system including making the kuffar pay jizyah when easa comes back thats going to be abolished abrogated because kufr will not be accepted at that time whatsoever. meaning there will be an all out war between kufr and eeman. That kuffar living under muslim rule will not even be excepted So this talk of being content with muslims living under a democratic state because theres a level of “safety” in light of that the phrophet alayhi salaat u wasalaam saying that jihad will be ongoing till the end of time is contradictory i get what the shuyookh are tryna do but the reality is theres only so far it can go until the wheels fall off and this issue bubbles again.
