The Roast of  

We don’t need discussions about the topics covered in the bitter truth - all we need is the truth. This can be easily delivered in sermons by sheikhs, negating the need for non mahrams to be in such close proximity and conversing with each other.

I am a woman and I would never appreciate someone film me or take a picture of me, the mother of the beleviers and the sahabiyat and the early women covered their faces when the Aya of Hijab came down, even if I cover the integrity of my body and have a complete Hijab as it should be, I will never accept someone to take even a picture of himself where I am unwillingly present in it, let's respect one another espcially in this case our muslim sisters who are constantly called to tabarruj ✨

It is sad to see people attacking our brother Ali. If you disagree with a brother on a matter, it does not give you the right to disrespect and name-call. In the podcast I made it clear that I don’t see eye to eye with Ali on everything he does. This, however, does not become a reason for me to disrespect him and treat him as less of a brother. Be very conscious regarding the way you speak about people. They may be better than you in the sight of Allah.

I truly find it shocking how Ali keeps on pointing towards certain individuals for "backbiting" and "slandering" and them "having to stand before Allah for their loose tongues" etc, when I've hardly come across anyone who backbites and slanders more than him. The sheer irony baffles me. The other very sad thing is how the host brother allows Ali to say those things yet he doesn't stop him and enjoin the good or forbid the evil. Very sad indeed.

This was so good. "The roasting of" should be an entire series

Can ali bring forward the daleel to allow showing tabarruj and free mixing

Salam alikom, Although Ali's intentions were pure, in my opinion, it isn't his responsibility to give these sisters nasiha. It would be the responsibility of their mahrams. My wife alhamdulillah wears hijab and it is my responsibility to advise her and motivate her etc. It would have been perhaps better to make a video in general about it. May Allah put barakah in these podcasts.

As someone who works with youngsters Ali is very likeable approachable type person. I’ve only seen a quarter of this but I like the way Ali took everything said to him, he wasn’t defensive and showed to to respectably take criticism, I generally don’t like these going up to ppl having a Hee Haa , having said that, I can TOTALLY understand why he did this at that time. Maybe you guys don’t realise how influential the ex hijab is were. One was the main top G irl influencer at the time she took off hers… and yes others followed suit. It was indeed an immensely confusing time for women - not just girls. I’m aware of Morhers taking off their hijabs because they started wearing it due to those influencers… I’v learnt something very big today from your discussions ie how to point out with preservation and dignity and how to accept gracefully,

I am a Muslim woman and need encouragement especially in this day and age.. Musa is not thinking from a woman perspective which is so selfish

We are all students of knowledge until we die.

I believe that if the if i had a female relative who is having thoughts on weather to keep the hijab on, i would be grateful if someone came and praised her and gave nassehah to her, as it may result in her strengthen her faith and keeping the hijab on.

The camera angle with alis pants are off putting. either wear loose clothing or change the angles. You do this alot.

Freemixing is (1) when there is interactiom between men and women who aren't mahram (2) women arent wearing hijab properly (3) the Interaction is beyond the need. Clearly, the conversations being had were nothing to do with Islam such as men's and women's preferences on certain things.

MashaAllah may Allah bless you brother

1:00:56 in Islam it’s not about our opinions! It’s not about disagreeing!!! It’s about “What pleases Allah?”

Sisters shouldn't be online at all, because we shouldn't be displayed, that's whole point of hijab!

Aside from all the blunders Ali says in this video, one of the worst ones is what he says on 1:04:43, who preceded him with this understanding ? So if someone gives you Naseeha, the Hadith applies about you now ? There are multiple Hadith stating that the garment below the ankle is in Hell etc When Abu Bakr heard this he told the prophet ﷺ that his trousers sometimes slips unintentionally and the prophet reassured him that he is not arrogant. Who here can say that they are not from among the Arrogant Abu Bakr never claimed it but the prophet ﷺ who knows from Allah what we dont told him hes not. It is arrogance to say you are not arrogant. Umar Ibn Al Khattab on his deathbed saw a boy with his garment below his Ankles and told him to lift it up. No companion ever let there garment fall below their Ankles intentionally, so where is this difference of opinion, Ali likes the rhetoric if every mistake a brother does can nit be corrected due to difference of opinion then everyone can fall back on that and find a fringe excuse of difference of opinion to support themselves

The issue is not even her attire. The problem is how dare you approach sisters like that. Thats someones wife, sister and daughter

He approached my family, who were covered within Islamic attire and I when I heard I knew this guy is faasiq......needs dawah or a real job

Didn't the companion say that if he saw a man walking with his wife, he would strike him with his sword and the prophet approve of what this companion said. Didn't Umar it rebuke and repremand Abu Musa Al Ash'ari for gifting his wife? Even if the hukm wasn't haram, for brothers to criticise and rebuke you can be justified and they shouldn't have to be called ignorant ignoramuses for this.

After watching the bitter truth podcasts i had exactly the same view what Musa Adnan said

Great watch lovely brothers having a respectful chat it should be always like this between brothers.🤲🏼

I am a sister and i 100% agree with brother Musa. If a brother approached me I would feel incredibly uncomfortable. My husband wouldn't appreciate that from a muslim brother either regardless of the good intent behind it.

I honestly don't get this lol first Ali Dawah was inadequate to give dawah because he could not read the quran, now he is inadequate because he can't understand the Arabic language?! What percentage of Muslims understand Arabic?!!! inshaAllah, we should all begin to understand the quran but it sounds like you are nit picking on Ali Dawah's hard work for the sake of it. I am not a fan but I see over the years Ali Dawah truly has tried with the dawah seen and he should be respected and given credit for that. I don't think Ali dawah should put himself down for not being eloquent enough in English or to be told that by you. I found listening this to be quite cruel tbh but I agree with the points of the Islamic etiquettes' of free mixing that you made etc. Just don't like this nit picking business.

He slanders Spubs calling them a "cancer", he will be held accountable infront of Allah, Spubs have done more for the muslims in 1 lecture than this Jaahil Ali needs dawah has in the past 5 years. May Allah guide him the evil slanderer.

wallahi shamsi was never wrong about ali needs dawah

It's Best not to talk about others who are not present, in negative way, we have to protect our deeds.

Brothers need to stay away from our families and wives. It’s a matter of غيره. I don’t care what his intentions were!

Ali's a good brother and may Allah increase him in knowledge and piety ameen. I just think he's stepping away from giving dawah and has become a full on content creator. I mean look at his page, how many videos are actually dawah related. Teaching, clarifying, debunking etc... It's not there anymore, it's mostly clickbait stuff related to hot topics. Now this is a problrm when he's the most famous daee we have, he has the most subscribers but by far the least amount of knowledge. If I'm slandering may Allah and the brother forgive me, I don't want to backbite but I genuinely think he should step back from "dawah" for a while and study his Deen. Right now I'm seeing way more harm than good coming from his content.

I love Ali for the sake of Allah and we certainly have benefitted from some of his podcast. I would really like Ali to learn be quiet just for once when other brothers are talking. He just can’t keep quiet (hmm, yeah, right, uh-huh, exactly, I know) and it’s disrespectful and off putting.

1. It was narrated that Abu Umaamah radiyallahu anhu said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi immediately after each prescribed prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death." 2. Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He who says, "Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi' (Glory and praise be to Allah) one hundred times a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the sea. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) 3. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“There are two statements that are light on the tongue, heavy on the scales, and beloved to the Most Merciful: Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi, Subhanallahil Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allah, Glorified is Allah, the Most Great.)” (Al-Bukhari) 4. Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: He who repeats after every prayer: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) thirty-three times, Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah) thirty-three times, Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) thirty-three times; and completes the hundred with: La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa ‘ala kulli shai'in qadir (There is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent) Will have all his sins pardoned even if they may be as large as the foam on the surface of the sea." (Muslim) 5. Zaid ibn Harithah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whosoever says: 'Astaghfirullah al-'Azeem al-ladhi la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum wa atubu illayh (I ask forgiveness of Allah, the Magnificent, than Whom there is no deity, the Living, the Sustainer of existence, and I turn to Him in repentance,) his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield (while he was engaged in fighting for the Cause of Allah, which is a grave sin in Islam). (Abu Dawud and authenticated by Al-Albani) 6. The Prophet peace be upon him said "Whosoever recites Durood Sharief on me 10 times in the morning and evening, I will intercede for him on the day of Qiyamah." (TIBRANI) 7.If you read Surah Ikhlas 3 times, it's reward is equivalent to reading the Quran once. Whoever reads Surah Ikhlas ten times, Allah will build a palace for him in Paradise. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) exclaimed, "If that's the case, then we will increase in our palaces!" The Prophet ? (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) responded, "Allah is better and greater (in reward)." [Ahmad] 8. Whoever reads Surat al-Kahf on Friday, it wil act as a light/protection for him from one Friday to the next. (Bayhaqi) 9. Whoever performs their ablution carefully and then affirms (their faith by testifying): "Ash-hadu Al-laa ilaha Ill-lallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu wa ashadhu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu; Allahumma-ja'Ini min at-tawaabeena waj-a'Ini minal-mutatahireen": 1 testify that there is no true deity except Allah Alone, Who has no partners, and that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is His slave and Messenger; O Allah, make me from those who repent and purify themselves' - the eight gates of Jannah are opened for him so he may enter through whichever of these gates he desires.[Tirmidhi] 10. Whoever says: "Radheetu billahi Rabba, wa bil Islaami Deena, wa bi Muhammadin sall-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallama Nabiyyan" - I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, and with Islam as my Religion, and with Muhammad as my Prophet, Paradise would be (made) mandatory for him. [Abu Dawud] 11. Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times (Allahumma inni as'aluk al-Jannah), then Paradise will say: "0 Allah! Enter him into Paradise!" And whoever seeks protection with Allah (Allahumma ajirni min an-Nar), the Fire will say: "O Allah! Protect him from the Fire!" [TIRMIDHI] 12.Whoever is easy-going, gentle and kind, Allah will make the fire forbidden for him. [Hakim] 13. In Paradise there are rooms whose outside can be seen from the inside and the inside can be seen from the outside. Allah has prepared them for those who feed the poor, who are gentle in speech, who fast regularly and who pray at night when (other) people are asleep. [Ahmad] 14. Narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "There is a soorah of the Qur'an, with thirty verses, that interceded for a man until he was forgiven; it is 'Soorah Tabaarak Alladhi bi yadihi'l-mulk (Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion) Read Surah Al-Mulk 67:1 Reference :Sunan Abi Dawud 1400 15.Read this dua after each prayer 3 times for immense reward. Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with her) reported, the Mother of the Believers: The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said “Are you still in the same position as I left you.” I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said “I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, `adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinatah `arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi. [Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise)].”[Muslim]. If you pass this on, It is Sadaqatul Jaria. (meaning you keep on getting rewarded for it, every time someone acts upon it even when you have died, until the day of judgement).

Social experiment for the purpose of what exactly?. Muslims should not conduct social experiments relating to islam as this has no premise rather it is just useless entertainment. Filming muslims in public in the pretext of advocating the deen is not something approved in islam nor something which pleases Allah regardless of the subjective intentions. This guy is just using the deen to make videos just like how nasheed artists use deen to make nasheeds. The masses who follow these guys are newbies to the deen and have not studied the deen properly to know they are just entertainers using the deen to gain followers.

58:13 the point Ali is raising here is so true I think it's a matter of culture sometimes cause they just don't feel comfortable with something witch is not Haram and some of the " conservative " Muslim brothers should make an effort on that.

I actually dont like BitterTruth series ali started. It just doesnt sit right with me. We dont need to bring women and men on a platform to copy other podcasters. We just need the correct guidance. Just like it was done before us. Men preach to men and women preach to women. Ali should stop doing that show

I am very sad that Ali Dawah did just defend his mistakes instead of accepting them.

Dawah scene is full of clout chasers, much of it is just using the “dawah” as a means of generating income & building a profile Going up to sisters for example is only for clout and no dawah whatsoever…alim or no alim, if some clown under the guise of deen was recording my sister, it’s arms… At the end of the day, it’s indecent & that’s a good enough reason… The free mixing argument I actually agree with him, having men and women on camera is a grey area and most muslims really do struggle to understand the grey…the content of the bitter truth would bug me more than the format, the people need to see men and women in a realistic setting

Love it some of the amazing discussions

As a Muslim girl. I feel everyone is being a Karen here. If he came up to me respectfully like that video, I wouldn’t feel violated. If anything if I was struggling with hijab and a random msg like that was shown to me I’d think it was Allah swt sending me a msg to persevere. Musa is being dramatic

The Naseeha given about the show is 100% correct, sadly thats not how you get views, So Im interested to see where "Ali needs Dawa" goes from her, My money is on him continuing to be a drama queen for the views,

What was the point of the first two topics? I genuinely haven’t learnt anything and the two brothers opposing it didn’t exactly bring overwhelming evidence….

Ive watched ali really progress over the years. His dawah methods have improved and him as a man of deen has reallly improved. Never liked his approach in his early years but now i watch his videos all the time. May allah increase his imaan and character- may he gain success both in this world and the here-after ameen

You can take clips out of every video through , including this one. I could clip it up and make it sound like Musa and Ali have beef. You can’t control that. 37:22

We are not in the time of Judging, we need to unit and build peace brothers.

ago Hosts are so annoying. Ali is older more experinced than both of them. Mans in uni, learning bit of arabic and thinks hes opinion and emotional disliking of something holds weight. He even said if you learn arabic nobody can say anything to you. Bro common really? Islamic scholarship isnt just about learning arabic? Learn history from your dad and take that field on. This isn't a peer system where a celebrity status automatically gets passed on to the son

It was going so well and then he said buy an apple.

I swear by Allah Ali is an ignorant without knowledge, wallah spubs are mountains of knowledge in the west, for 30 years they have been teaching Islam to the muslims. Ali accuses them of slander in reality he is accusing Imam Ahmad, Al Barbaharee, al Lalikaee, al Muzani, ash shaafi’ Albani, Bin Baz, Ibn uthaymeen, Salih al Luhaydan, Muqbil, Rabee’, Ubayd etc of being slanderers and backbiting. Look how he speaks about Spubs as if they are not directly connected with the scholars as if they dont have thousands upon thousands of lectures online in regards to Quraan, sunnah, Aqidah, Manhaj, Fiqh, Seerah an Nabawiyah. May Allah guide this slanderous backbiter Ali needs dawah, and May Allah guide you my brother Musa and the other brother to see that the tales that have been spread about spubs are lies, this is why I left Ali and mohammed hijab to seek real knowledge so I could taste the sweetness of knowledge, not to watch ridiculous social experiments and podcasts with no benefit. BarakAllahu Feekum.

Ali should get his wife to approach sisters if he does it again and ask them if we can use this video for our RU-vid

Anyone with any knowledge and understands gheerah and how dangerous freemixing is will be disgusted by Ali dawahs recent methods or appraoches. Not only that he has been warned and advised about it yet it continues. It is no surprise people of knowledge advise to boycott him and his fitnah.

Jazakallah to Musa for speaking on behalf of us women as though we are his sisters. Musa is right, myself and the all of the women in my family would find it strange if a male approached us this way. You’ve won a subscriber because you give genuine vibes

@musa this is an honest naseeha to you. I am neutral and saw this podcast. You guys have been too harsh on him. At certain moments you guys ganged up on him and the brother is humiliating himself already enough by calling himself Ali needs Dawah and it came across as belittleing. I sensed egos a little bit. You see him being humble, but the same humble vibe I did not get from you Musa and the other guest. Also you guys really put pressure on him sharing his income of youtube and deleting the video for the sake of you guys. Brothers fear Allah, maybe he does not want to share it and feels pressured by you guys. It is a private concern, the Prophet (saw) told us not to concern ourselves with things we have no right or business with. See my naseeha as a moment to reflect upon and some food for thoughts. May Allah reward all of you guys for the ghayr. Keep up these podcasts brother Musa, but this one I found a bit harsh and disrespectul to the guest Ali. Please stay humble, you guys off camera can talk like this but the viewers dont see that so it comes across as rude. I think roasts are unislamic. The Prophet (saw) never roasted people.

I was reluctant to watch this video in case it was clickbait but I’m so glad Musa respectfully called out Ali Dawah in such a calm clear manner. My husband wouldn’t like it if a random man asked me to read something on his phone and filmed me doing so. Also we women wear hijab and get validation from either ourselves, our Muslim sisters/mothers, our mehrams and from Allah. We don’t need a ghair mehram we don’t know to pat us on the back (metaphorically) and say well done. Even if a sister is struggling with hijab, a guys opinion (unless it’s her husband or family) won’t make her feel any better or help her decide to keep it on. A nice video actually from ali dawah explaining the benefits and rewards of wearing the hijab during the heat and Ramadan would have had the same if not better impact on viewers. He could have even told his huge male following to compliment their sisters/wives and treat them to some ice cream lol or something nice for wearing hijab. Lots of other ways to deliver this message.

When Ali came out with the bitter truth show I unfollowed him after following him for years. The reason being in my opinion too much fitna

Assalamu alaikum everyone. We are living in a time when knowledge in general is declining, ignorance is alarmingly escalating (even though we have Quran, hadees and all sorts of study materials within our finger tips in our mobile phones) and people are chasing the worldly dunya being affected with wahaan. It is best for all our Islamic speakers throughout the world to take turns and take a step back, get a bit isolated for sometime, increase their knowledge base and if needed revise whatever they have learnt, and then get back to dawaah. Spiritual refueling and increasing knowledge are required by each and everyone as we are humans, we are bound to make mistakes. Also, Allah has mentioned in the Quran that too much talking reduces the actions of a Muslim. If we look around at all the Islamic preachers in the world today, every now and then their pursuit of giving dawah, and way too much talking and social interactions have somehow declined all their hard earned impacts they had on people initially. Their actions have become lighter to people, very few take them seriously and rather consider them as ones who do not walk the talks. It is high time all of us Muslims need to increase our knowledge, support each other, and speak less and learn and do more. As Umar bin Khattab said, The best way to preach is through our manners. If we learn and practise it on ourselves and focus on our own mistakes and try to rectify them, not only the message automatically gets transmitted to others, but we also get to become man of our words. Please pardon me if any of my words hurt anyone's feelings and definitely feel free to correct me. JazakAllahu khayraan.

I think Ali needs to implement the concept that the end doesn’t justify the means. الله يهديه ويهدينا

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. Br Musa. One nasiha if I may. I'm sure you know this, maybe just forget in this instance. When starting an Islamic based gathering. Start with mentioning Allah. Barik Allah feek

On the matter of bitter truth show, i personally got really uncomfortable by seeing muslim men and women fighting each other and raising voicies, seeing each other opponents on some issues. This was something taking away a muslims waqar, dignity I can understand the idea behind it such as, let us make muslim men and women listen each other and discuss issues that cannot be adressed normally between muslim men and women. But where the show has arrived is really far in my opinion. Sad to see muslims speak to each other in that manner. Like sheik mohammed sait i couldn't watch more then three minuntes in some episodes

Musa's radar on Women's perceptions is way off. He is giving the example of Sisters studying in Universities who get approached by random strangers left right & center, and thinks they would mind getting approached by a well-intentioned Muslim Guy asking them to read a message on the cellphone for a Social Experiment.

I'm no fan of SPUBs, but what is there slandering of scholars got to do with Ali Dawah's likeness for unnecessarily interacting with non mehram women? As a man, a real man, we know there's only one reason you want to speak to non mahram women. You can dress it up with "social experiment, naseeha and so on, but really it's a sickness of the heart.

*Ali I now understand the root of the issue but before I explain, Jazaak Allah Khairan Musa and Ali for doing this. May Allah accept your sincere intentions and May He guide us all to the straight path and to what pleases Him Ameen.* The root of the issue Akhi is that you are using yourself and your relatives as your measuring stick for what is okay to put online and what's not instead of the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Doesn't matter what u or anyone else thinks, whether it's a Sheikh, a ladies mahram or anyone else. If there's nothing in the Sunnah that supports what you intend to do then don't do it. Full stop! Shaytaan will use your best intentions to lead you astray. So good intent is not enough and you might even need to avoid the halal if it can lead to haram. The ends do not justify the means. We don't go inside a night club to make dawah nor do we turn the Masjid into a night club because then people will come for salaah. You cannot promote this trend of everyone deciding for themselves how they want to do dawah without guidance because people will go astray doing weird things. My sincere advise to you while u r still learning the sunnah is to regard your RU-vid channel as a mimbar. What is not fit to be done on the Jumuah mimbar is not fit for your channel and that includes reacting to fasad content that Muslims and children should not even be seeing or be exposed to. And finally, if u r reprimanded by the senior duaat and shown evidence for your mistake, delete it and don't leave it up on the internet because not everyone will follow the disclaimer or see the reprimand. Have more taqwah of Allah than you have of students of knowledge because Allah is always witness. If that setting doesn't befit a student of knowledge, is it befitting of Allah and His angels to bear witness to that? Please Akhi, re-evaluate and accept the advice from your sincere advisors and your good friend Musa, May Allah reward him. That's a friend to keep.

I think I speak for everyone when I say the next episode should be: The Roast of Muhammad Hijab

I don't believe a male should initiate contact with a non mahram female without what would be considered a valid reason in the shariah. The sister being in a public space does not change that. May Allah guide us all.

I can appreciate both Musa’s and Ali’s point of view regarding The Bitter Truth Show. Me personally, I don’t watch it to get fatwas but to understand what is really going on on the ground with every day Muslims. For example, I’m not a student but it was interesting to hear from student’s perspectives about what’s happening at colleges and universities, it helps me better understand the situation and prepare my child for it. This is the nitty gritty information we need to better understand how we can improve society. Again, from that show, the brother said he had developed a marriage app for students, this is seeing a problem and being proactive in coming up with a solution. I think most Muslims can differentiate between people talking about Muslim societal problems and whether the guest on the panel is giving a fatwa on it or not.

I like brother Ali, I think as a revert he is easy for me to relate with, he teaches me a lot through his content, allahmdulliah

Free mixing is free mixing there is no two ways about it. May Allah give our mistakes and guides us what is right and not who is write. Brother Ali 53:12 respectfully, please stop the free mixing show. Jzk

If my daughters were approached in such a manner I would be extremely angry 😡 to say it politely

So respectful, he lowered his gaze then uploaded the entire women onto the internet. And having good intentions isn't enough, you have to follow through in accordance of the sunna. Everyone knows of the hadith of the three companions; one swore to fast everyday, one swore to abstain from women for his entire life, and one swore to pray all night every night. What was the advice given to them? He isn't new to the religion and he knows that if he intends to do good he should do it following the sunna. If he believes this what the sunna calls for then it's a matter of education. Personally I think the problem isn't him, it's "Islamic" influencers in general.

Musa is similar age to me & I’ve seen his growth. He has gained a lot of wisdom & a much better understanding of how Muslims should behave. I compliment that to his connection to the Quran & his Teacher shaykh Jamal. Unfortunately, YT ‘Dawah’ is a space of unequipped ignorants with zeal talking about deen believing it is ‘Dawah’. Without ever having studied the Fiqh of what they are speaking about to at least an intermediate level, hence a lot of it becomes their own personal interpretation. The bitter truth show is a prime example of that. Every show should start with definitions of terms used & speaking about the Fiqh of the matter via Knowledgeable male & female scholars & advanced students which can include people who have contrary opinions. Not a graduate from just an “Islamic University” but someone who has reached at least an Upper intermediate level in their Fiqh studies. This can be judged by the Curriculum’s the Muslim have had for thousands of years. We have a system that sieves out the layman from the learned. So Instead of personal opinions people can leave with the various understandings from the madhaahib on how a man & woman should behave in their relationships. I can see that mentality of learning within Musa develop Mashallah. It’s good to see. May Allah keep him on the path of learning & grant him Fiqh of the deen.

I like the demeanour of brother musa the most, but i genuinely am saying this from a viewers point of view, that even though ali’s personality is way different than musa and mohammad, there shouldnt be any ridiculing especially if its to a point where i could tell throughout this episode multiple times where it was done. if you dont like sth, raise it and discuss it but even then that would be considered nameema. let’s not get ahead of ourselves. ali has his shortcomings and we may have a different fitna to deal with. may God bless you all, very nice episode.

Musa may Allah bless you. This is better than the bitter truth but it still fails to meet the target just like the bitter truth. Why have a discussion without having an established opinion from a scholar on the actual issues that are discussed? People are leaving without an actual scholarly opinion on the situations discussed? Freemixing, tabarruj, and khalwah are serious matter. Ask Ali the cotnext, understand the details, do the research on the issues, ask the scholars and present your case and give your advice, privatel, publicly, whatever you decide. Strive to be from the muhsineen and do things with ihsaan. May Allah make you and Ali from amongst them. Also, to Ali, to these matters you are not sure about. Read the 6th hadeeth in Arbaeen An Nawawi. You admitted you are not sure about what you did was right or wrong, so why play with Allah's sanctuary and why do it infront of 1000s of people. We have advice to follow in these circumstances! Leave that you doubt for what you don't doubt! Have an audio discussion Seek knowledge on the matter deeply. If it's a message you need to get across, there's a million ways to do it and you can still if Allah wills help people keep their hijab on and talk about these necessary topics. If you continue to admit, that you are not sure and you continue to play with doubtful matter, then you are not someone who is taking his role seriously and you should step down. Even if a shaykh validated you after the fact, shows you are not being thoughtful beforehand and your team are not being the team you should be having. Perhaps they are tested with love of fame, and association. Fear Allah, seriously.

Brother Islamicly you are not allowed to film them without them knowing first 😅❤

It looks to me as if our UK brothers have become a bunch of film directors (content creators), actors. Are you guys making money from these videos. I can remember the time going to madrasa and the Imam/Sheikh they were to shy to take money for teaching the Quran, Fiq, Tawhid. Our parents use to put money in envelope and slip it into the pockets of the Imam because they were so reluctant to take money for the sake of Allah SWT. May Allah guide you to the straight path

I'll be honest Ali wouldn't cut it in my country South Africa, Maybe he's suitable for the UK Muslim population, But He definitely needs a senior person to educate him that having good intentions is not a valid excuse, And Allah knows best.

'dawah' individuals are too comfortable approaching non-mahram women for 'dawah'

I reverted 2 years ago, and wouldn’t dream of approaching any Muslim lady that I wasn’t planning to get to know for marriage, our sisters are far too precious, the untouchables, should not even be approached. Alhumdulilah for Islam

Ali Dawah openly promotes a freemixing podcast and shows unveiled women in his thumbnails - this isn’t a matter of personal disagreements, this is Deen.

When you constantly have to make videos to provide content for subscribers , it’s impossible for the intentions to remain completely sincere and for the sake of Allah all the time . Musa absolutely right it was totally inappropriate to approach Muslim sisters like that.

What's the reason for the sisters to be invited and filmed? Our Prophet Muhammad saws transmitted Allah's message even to women! He didn't bring his wives or Sahabiat to speak about some issues in public. My advice to brother Ali is to stick to brothers only. Also, br Gabriel Al Romaani didn't allow sisters videos on his Live sessions ma sha Allah. Maybe he accepted the invitation for the show thinking that it will benefit the Muslims and can correct some misconceptions...Therefore we can not say that br Gabriel came believing that it is something 100% halal - we don't know his intention! May Allah bless this UMMAH and guide us all!

I'm with musa, if someone comes to me I'll not like it online or offline.. i DON'T wanna be on RU-vid even with hijab.. (i assume some creep saying that with bad intentions because i don't know you, no matter how good u r or how good ur intentions is). If my own brother say that it another matter it's praise but even my own cousin say that (personally to me) I'll not like it.. i don't talk to my cousin as well. (I just do salam and bye (some times very little talk in family gathering if our elders is sitting with us that's it). I don't see benefit too Because whoever wanna wear hijab they do, whoever don't they don't. You can't convince someone with one video like that.. And filming them without permission (because he said i don't remember i said to everyone that they are filmed) BIG NO NO BROTHER..

I never knew Ali was such a sincere guy, not all people in the Dawah field will let somebody interrogate them like this and post it online. This guy has good neyah huge respect for him ❤

Ali dawah pissed me off in this video, wallahi he would get punched in the mouth by the brothers or husbands or cousins in australia for putting videos up of Muslims sisters and that’s between the Lebanese community.

It would have been nice to have a sheikh in this show. It seems some people talking and guessing about whats right and wrong based on whats traditionally found comfortable or uncomfortable. Please stop me from laughing Musa bhai.

Brother Ali... by Allah I stopped watching you after you started doing the videos discussed. You have no right to go up to these Muslim woman and tell them anything. Nor should you have these bitter truth videos with these woman having discussions with men that have no relation to you or the other guests.Bitter truth is just an entertainment show. It is not Islamic. There is no need for it or the views expressed in it. May Allah keep us all on the straight path. Ameen.

It's absolutely rich that Ali is trying to call out brothers for backbiting and slander, yet he literally did the same thing a few days ago to shamsi -- where him and Hijab accused him of siding with the LGBT folk over a muslim. Ali and Hijab purposely ignored the context ,and former half of the clip ,of shamsi confronting some Saudi guy and his hypocrisy. May Allah guide you Ali and give you what you deserve.

Ali dawah a liar you remember alot but when you say I think seems like hiding something or trying to justify your actions or cover up your very good at that.

Ali's intention is needed for many. . targeting certain viewers.. that did have an impact on many hijabis.. alhumdolilah

“Minimum make up” this gotta be a joke. His podcast is clearly free mixing.

Ali Dawah loves doing U turns to the topic 😂

I do think this video was needed as we need to observe hijab and lower our gaze. As a women I would feel so uncomfortable being approached by a brother no matter who he is. Also in his video where the brother and sisters debate. I don't agree with it. There should be some partition or curtain of some sort. I think we need to remember that we are going to be held to account.

One can try and sugarcoat as much as he wants but (BITTER TRUTH SHOW) is free mixing. Rather than having his (Ali's) wife work in the background why does he not get her on the show?

Love Ali dawah, respect the way you took it all in and even managed to laugh with the brothers in the end, keep up the good work Akhi may you go even further in life Ameen thuma Ameen

I think women should approach women . Why doesn't ali get his wife to do the social experiment.

In regards to ref: bro romaani etc. thats wrong. We dont judge validity of islamic content based on the ‘known practicing ‘ people. Thats blind following. Anyone can slip up and make mistakes. Even the most highly practicing and knowledgeable

When Ali Dawah is speaking about that alim saying it’s ok he is just basically exposing him of being ignorant just because alim said it’s ok doesn’t mean it really is they are not the prophet you have to go with the majority of scholars imam Malik a great scholar got things wrong

The brother Ali confuses free mixing with segregation

Advice is so so important! Not flattering each other. May Allah strengthen the ummah and keep us united ameen

Be wary of people like Ali who always say that there is a difference of opinion and who constantly cling to fringe opinion. When there are two opnions look at the evidence each person brings and fear Allah and do not incline towards your desires.

I don’t know the mental gymnastics to justify that podcast

Ali Kardeşim I think you had a very sweet intention but theres always another perpesctive and from others point of view it could be viewed as sweet talking their women. I understand your heart Ali you are showing love to your people whom you love like me. But sometimes that love needs to stay internal for Allah.

The PURITY of the converstation and the topics, were 'MAGIC" and insightfuL It totally brought a humbling truth to what, WE THE AUDIENCE see and hear. (Ali needs your guidance tho bros 😊 Love to all3)

Ali go pay for yourself to go madinah and study.
