00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:09,829
ASK GHAMIDI LIVE Episode-2 
ONLINE Q&A with Javed Ahmed Ghamidi.

2
00:00:09,829 --> 00:00:22,911
[Faisal Haroon] Salamalaikum
Your host Faisal Harun

3
00:00:22,911 --> 00:00:25,957
is here again at your service

4
00:00:25,957 --> 00:00:28,402
We have with us Janab Javed
Ahmed Ghamidi Sahab.

5
00:00:28,402 --> 00:00:30,922
This is the 2nd Web 
Conference of Ask Ghamidi Live.

6
00:00:30,922 --> 00:00:31,172
And as you are aware
the objective of this Web conference

7
00:00:31,172 --> 00:00:36,046
is to provide an opportunity
for the people across the world

8
00:00:36,046 --> 00:00:39,269
to ask their questions 
directly from Ghamidi Sahab.

9
00:00:39,269 --> 00:00:43,813
Before we formally start
the proceedings of this conference

10
00:00:43,813 --> 00:00:47,129
I would like to draw your attention
to some of the important points.

11
00:00:47,129 --> 00:00:48,761
The first thing is that

12
00:00:48,761 --> 00:00:52,185
a lot many people have
registered themselves for this,

13
00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:54,907
and due to the scarcity of time,

14
00:00:54,907 --> 00:00:58,271
it will be difficult to have 
everyone's question Live here.

15
00:00:58,271 --> 00:01:02,682
We have a list of registered 
users from which

16
00:01:02,682 --> 00:01:05,925
and without any 
pre-screening or discrimination,

17
00:01:05,925 --> 00:01:11,606
we will give people the opportunity 
to ask their questions from Ghamidi Sahab

18
00:01:11,606 --> 00:01:14,585
with respect to the date
and time of their registrations.

19
00:01:14,585 --> 00:01:18,171
Therefore, the most important 
point is when the time comes

20
00:01:18,171 --> 00:01:25,354
you will have 20 sec. to ask your
question and I would request you

21
00:01:25,354 --> 00:01:28,413
to kindly ask just one question.

22
00:01:28,413 --> 00:01:33,301
If you wish to express some
emotions that you may have,

23
00:01:33,301 --> 00:01:37,226
or wish to convey your 
Salam then there isn't any harm

24
00:01:37,226 --> 00:01:41,045
if you exceed your
time by 8 to 10 secs.,

25
00:01:41,045 --> 00:01:49,410
however, we must keep in 
mind that the name that is displayed

26
00:01:49,410 --> 00:01:54,823
in the app of 'ASK GHAMIDI' 
the same gets displayed in Zoom.

27
00:01:54,823 --> 00:01:58,295
Hence if you wish to change
your name displayed in Zoom,

28
00:01:58,295 --> 00:02:01,102
then please Right Click to Rename it.

29
00:02:01,102 --> 00:02:05,862
With this, we formally start this 
Conference in the name of Allah,

30
00:02:05,862 --> 00:02:08,894
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, 
Salam Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab.

31
00:02:08,894 --> 00:02:10,956
[Javed Ahmed Ghamidi] 
Wa Alai Kum Assalam.

32
00:02:10,956 --> 00:02:15,462
While it takes a few minutes for 
the participants to log in,

33
00:02:15,462 --> 00:02:18,040
in the meantime with your permission 
may I present a question to you?

34
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,318
[Ghamidi] Please go ahead.

35
00:02:19,318 --> 00:02:25,536
[Faisal] 'Ana' which we 
translate as 'ego',

36
00:02:25,536 --> 00:02:30,094
is it, in essence, a bad thing,

37
00:02:30,094 --> 00:02:35,755
and our aim should be to eradicate it
from the root in our personality?

38
00:02:35,755 --> 00:02:40,799
Or its use, at the wrong 
time turns it into an evil thing.

39
00:02:40,799 --> 00:02:44,182
And a secondary question
associated with it is

40
00:02:44,182 --> 00:02:49,095
the prejudices or biases are these
too, 'Ego' in another form?

41
00:02:49,095 --> 00:02:52,761
Or these in essence develop
from a different source?

42
00:02:52,761 --> 00:03:01,718
[Ghamidi] Allah (swt) has created 
human beings with an outstanding status.

43
00:03:01,718 --> 00:03:06,529
If we see them in comparison 
to all other creatures,

44
00:03:06,529 --> 00:03:10,529
then it is a Masterpiece of
the Creation of Allah (swt).

45
00:03:10,529 --> 00:03:17,265
Obviously, man is a conscious being, 
hence he realises this greatness,

46
00:03:17,265 --> 00:03:23,153
and also the significance of
this aspect of his Creation.

47
00:03:23,153 --> 00:03:28,241
Therefore, always an element of
self-awareness or self-respect inside him.

48
00:03:28,241 --> 00:03:34,580
if it remains within a limit 
then it is nothing bad,

49
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:40,085
however, this feeling if left untamed
then goes beyond

50
00:03:40,085 --> 00:03:46,300
to form such an ego that 
is considered worthy of condemnation.

51
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:51,019
The same is the situation
with haughtiness, there too,

52
00:03:51,019 --> 00:03:56,285
a person considers himself greater, 
however, compared to whom?

53
00:03:56,285 --> 00:03:59,864
From among the 
creatures present in the world,

54
00:03:59,864 --> 00:04:03,761
obviously, human beings 
have a superiority over them.

55
00:04:03,761 --> 00:04:07,831
however, if that superiority turns 
into a feeling of superiority against Allah,

56
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:12,031
or against the truth, 
then it is Shitanat (Devilry).

57
00:04:12,031 --> 00:04:16,428
Therefore in the Quran, it was 
said about Iblees that

58
00:04:16,428 --> 00:04:22,217
when he was demanded 
that he bow to an inferior Creation

59
00:04:22,217 --> 00:04:27,634
by the Command of Allah,
so he declined.

60
00:04:27,634 --> 00:04:30,882
The words are
"Aba Wa Astakbar".

61
00:04:30,882 --> 00:04:34,181
That he considered
himself superior.

62
00:04:34,181 --> 00:04:39,520
This act of feeling superior 
actually becomes the basis of destruction.

63
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,557
Since human beings should always remain
balanced with respect to two aspects.

64
00:04:45,557 --> 00:04:52,177
With regard to his Creator,
i.e. there is no comparison at all.

65
00:04:52,177 --> 00:04:54,364
He is the Master of the universe,

66
00:04:54,364 --> 00:04:58,068
the Creator and Controller 
of the system of the universe,

67
00:04:58,068 --> 00:05:01,684
and our status is that of
an insignificant Creature.

68
00:05:01,684 --> 00:05:06,382
And second is, the Truth that 
is revealed by Allah (swt),

69
00:05:06,382 --> 00:05:09,579
or when that Truth establishes
somewhere in the world,

70
00:05:09,579 --> 00:05:11,493
in challenge to that.

71
00:05:11,493 --> 00:05:14,193
Hence when the Prophet (pbuh)
was asked,

72
00:05:14,193 --> 00:05:17,806
that we have an 
aesthetic sense too,

73
00:05:17,806 --> 00:05:22,259
we love to see perfection 
and beauty in things,

74
00:05:22,259 --> 00:05:25,365
we like to see them 
intrinsically beautiful,

75
00:05:25,365 --> 00:05:29,418
we long to look presentable 
and handsome to others.

76
00:05:29,418 --> 00:05:36,065
We live and dress well, then he said,
"Allahu Jameel Wa Yuhibbul Jamal".

77
00:05:36,065 --> 00:05:43,654
'Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.
This isn't haughtiness or arrogance.

78
00:05:43,654 --> 00:05:50,832
After this was asked what is haughtiness?
He sais, "Ghamtun Naas Wa Batarul Haqq".

79
00:05:50,832 --> 00:05:56,228
"To despise people and
to stand against Truth".

80
00:05:56,228 --> 00:06:00,770
This is in fact the thing that should
be called condemnable egotism.

81
00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:04,394
As it is the false 
expression of the self.

82
00:06:04,394 --> 00:06:08,065
And this has been declared as a
huge crime

83
00:06:08,065 --> 00:06:13,284
and therefore announced that camel
may pass through the eye of a needle,

84
00:06:13,284 --> 00:06:19,427
however, an arrogant, consumed with 
false self-pride cannot enter Jannah.

85
00:06:19,427 --> 00:06:24,279
So with this, we should 
seek refuge from Allah,

86
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,295
however, selflessness, self-respect 
and a special type of pride

87
00:06:28,295 --> 00:06:32,053
are the protective attributes
of the intellectual

88
00:06:32,053 --> 00:06:34,452
and physical existence 
of human beings.

89
00:06:34,452 --> 00:06:35,518
there is nothing in them 
which can be condemnable.

90
00:06:35,518 --> 00:06:37,168
[Faisal] Thank you very much,Sir.

91
00:06:37,168 --> 00:06:38,964
So we now move on
to the questions,

92
00:06:38,964 --> 00:06:43,551
the first question that we have
is from Ahmed Shoeb Sahab.

93
00:06:43,551 --> 00:06:46,059
Ahmed Shoeb Sahab, 
I am unmuting your Mic.

94
00:06:46,059 --> 00:06:48,286
you may go 
ahead with your question.

95
00:06:48,286 --> 00:06:51,670
[Ahmed Shoeb] As Salam Alaikum, Sir.

96
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:57,183
My question refers to your 
lectures in Mizan Al-Hikmah

97
00:06:57,183 --> 00:07:04,176
which discusses Iman on Allah,
you had said that the intellect says

98
00:07:04,176 --> 00:07:08,016
that the Creator of this 
Universe does not need anything.

99
00:07:08,016 --> 00:07:10,760
My question will be clear
from the analogy that

100
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,826
if we consider ourselves
as ants on paper,

101
00:07:13,826 --> 00:07:16,144
i.e. that paper will 
be our Universe,

102
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:22,932
then we will feel that the Entity that
is writing does not require anything.

103
00:07:22,932 --> 00:07:27,429
However, in fact, it is a 
needy person who writes that.

104
00:07:27,429 --> 00:07:31,496
Hence my question was 
can we establish that

105
00:07:31,496 --> 00:07:36,528
the Creator of this Universe,
in reality, does not need anything?

106
00:07:36,528 --> 00:07:39,544
or will we come to know
of it in the Akhirah?

107
00:07:39,544 --> 00:07:42,458
[Ghamidi] There are just
two aspects of our knowledge.

108
00:07:42,458 --> 00:07:47,594
One is, how something should
be in our imagination?

109
00:07:47,594 --> 00:07:51,385
So when we think of
this great universe,

110
00:07:51,385 --> 00:07:58,184
where the distances as per our
science have gone into light-years,

111
00:07:58,184 --> 00:08:03,600
where its greatness is just beyond
the realms of human knowledge,

112
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:10,170
One who is the Creator of such a Universe
ought not to need any kind of thing.

113
00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:13,016
And if He really does need anything,

114
00:08:13,016 --> 00:08:18,130
then it will be something 
even superior to Him and as a consequence

115
00:08:18,130 --> 00:08:21,270
that superior thing would 
become His Creator,

116
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:24,261
and then this chain 
will become infinite.

117
00:08:24,261 --> 00:08:30,003
Hence, the intellect tells us that if we
have to accept and believe in a Creator,

118
00:08:30,003 --> 00:08:32,902
then this attribute 
should be present in Him.

119
00:08:32,902 --> 00:08:36,673
As far as the matter 
of intellect goes,

120
00:08:36,673 --> 00:08:39,727
from the things it experiences,
it can say that those exist,

121
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:42,898
however, the things which 
are intellectually derived

122
00:08:42,898 --> 00:08:46,799
or inference is made, 
there, the maximum it can say is that

123
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:49,741
"This should be". 
This is His Glory,

124
00:08:49,741 --> 00:08:55,355
if such a thing is accepted then 
its logical consequence should only be this.

125
00:08:55,355 --> 00:08:56,316
The intellect cannot
supersede this.

126
00:08:56,316 --> 00:08:59,150
Post this, if we get some
news from somewhere,

127
00:08:59,150 --> 00:09:09,125
hence the chain of the
Prophets started by Allah,

128
00:09:09,125 --> 00:09:13,854
and introduced about Himself,
about His attributes, and His ways,

129
00:09:13,854 --> 00:09:19,863
then He said that 
all of us are needy

130
00:09:19,863 --> 00:09:21,653
in respect to Allah (swt)

131
00:09:21,653 --> 00:09:24,324
and Allah is indifferent
to all such things.

132
00:09:24,324 --> 00:09:28,837
hence the Surah which is called
"The heart of the Quran"

133
00:09:28,837 --> 00:09:32,537
it was announced there,
"Neither is His peer

134
00:09:32,537 --> 00:09:36,069
nor has any entity 
made out of Him".

135
00:09:36,069 --> 00:09:41,638
"Neither He is from some entity,
and He is "As Samad"

136
00:09:41,638 --> 00:09:47,137
"Indifferent to everything", however, 
"Everything is dependent on His Support".

137
00:09:47,137 --> 00:09:50,493
After the acquisition 
of this knowledge,

138
00:09:50,493 --> 00:09:54,398
the heavenly Revelation confirmed 
that concept of our intellect.

139
00:09:54,398 --> 00:09:56,782
This is what we believe.

140
00:09:56,782 --> 00:10:00,168
However, all the realities will 
unravel only in the Akhirah.

141
00:10:00,168 --> 00:10:05,350
[Faisal] InshaAllah. The next question
is from Muhammad Abdullah Sahab.

142
00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:07,916
Muhammad Sahab I am 
unmuting your Mic.

143
00:10:07,916 --> 00:10:09,899
you may go ahead
with your question.

144
00:10:09,899 --> 00:10:15,812
[Muhammad Abdullah] To maintain

145
00:10:15,812 --> 00:10:18,492
the foundation of the
family after the marriage.

146
00:10:18,492 --> 00:10:21,147
And before the marriage 
through Sadd-e Zariya

147
00:10:21,147 --> 00:10:25,035
restrictions have been imposed on
free relationship between man and woman.

148
00:10:25,035 --> 00:10:27,969
The question is if a class 
of people exist

149
00:10:27,969 --> 00:10:32,369
who have no aim to lay
the foundation of a family,

150
00:10:32,369 --> 00:10:37,279
or to give birth and bring up
another human being,

151
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:39,263
and through Science it is possible 
these days to 100 % avoid this,

152
00:10:39,263 --> 00:10:42,685
then the question is, 
for the people

153
00:10:42,685 --> 00:10:45,924
who nurture such kinds of ideas, 
what is the reason still

154
00:10:45,924 --> 00:10:49,824
for the imposition of these
restrictions? Thank you.

155
00:10:49,824 --> 00:10:53,299
[Ghamidi] When the laws
for human beings

156
00:10:53,299 --> 00:10:57,291
are legislated at the international level, 
or at the National level,

157
00:10:57,291 --> 00:11:00,583
or for a particular Group,
then those are not legislated

158
00:11:00,583 --> 00:11:04,754
keeping in view the exceptions.
When we form laws that

159
00:11:04,754 --> 00:11:08,295
all the people would drive
on the left side,

160
00:11:08,295 --> 00:11:11,901
then we cannot permit
a person just for the sake of displaying

161
00:11:11,901 --> 00:11:15,599
his skills that he drives the
vehicle on the right side,

162
00:11:15,599 --> 00:11:20,072
and say that look I drove and showed that 
there isn't any accident taking place.

163
00:11:20,072 --> 00:11:24,250
The collective laws are 
always legislated in general.

164
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:27,306
They are made "Ala Sabili Taghleeb",

165
00:11:27,306 --> 00:11:31,483
that they are legislated looking
into the general conditions.

166
00:11:31,483 --> 00:11:35,878
If there are some
exceptions in the laws,

167
00:11:35,878 --> 00:11:39,634
those principles have 
been stated in the Quran.

168
00:11:39,634 --> 00:11:42,722
that some person 
became restless,

169
00:11:42,722 --> 00:11:45,849
then there would be 
exception in Prohibition

170
00:11:45,849 --> 00:11:52,729
and if some person has difficulty 
then there would be concessions in Ibadah.

171
00:11:52,729 --> 00:11:57,184
These are the principles.

172
00:11:57,184 --> 00:12:00,939
At the level of Group, collection, 
National or International level,

173
00:12:00,939 --> 00:12:04,731
none of the laws are formulated
keeping exemptions in mind.

174
00:12:04,731 --> 00:12:08,168
[Faisal] Thank you very much, Sir.

175
00:12:08,168 --> 00:12:15,010
Rafia Khwaja Sahiba I am unmuting your
Mic. you may ask your question.

176
00:12:15,010 --> 00:12:24,754
[Rafia Khwaja] As Salam
Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab.

177
00:12:24,754 --> 00:12:27,783
Ghamidi Sahab, my question 
is that Islam came

178
00:12:27,783 --> 00:12:34,420
to abolish slavery so why didn't the 
Prophet (pbuh) free Maria Khibtiya

179
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:38,188
in his lifetime 
and why did the Prophet (pbuh)

180
00:12:38,188 --> 00:12:41,528
and the Khulfa-e Rashideen
(The four Rightly Guided Khalifas)

181
00:12:41,528 --> 00:12:45,163
practiced what Islam 
wanted to abolish? Thank you.

182
00:12:45,163 --> 00:12:47,385
[Ghamidi] The methodology adopted 
in Islam was full of wisdom,

183
00:12:47,385 --> 00:12:54,051
i.e. slaves were made
in the battles,

184
00:12:54,051 --> 00:12:58,884
and there wasn't any concept 
of catching hold of an independent person

185
00:12:58,884 --> 00:13:01,451
and making him
a slave in the Arab land.

186
00:13:01,451 --> 00:13:04,167
It was considered a big 
crime in those days too.

187
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:07,799
Hence there wasn't the 
question that an independent

188
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:13,256
person be made into a slave, albeit the
prisoners of war were made slaves,

189
00:13:13,256 --> 00:13:16,318
hence Islam imposed
Prohibition on it,

190
00:13:16,318 --> 00:13:21,921
hence in Surah Muhammad, 
before the occurrence

191
00:13:21,921 --> 00:13:25,946
of the first battle Allah (swt)
announced that if the prisoners of wars

192
00:13:25,946 --> 00:13:30,331
are made captives, then
"Fa Imma Mannam Ba'adu Wa Imma Fid'a",

193
00:13:30,331 --> 00:13:32,461
there will be just two situations

194
00:13:32,461 --> 00:13:36,145
either they will be made
free out of good gesture.

195
00:13:36,145 --> 00:13:40,458
Or Fidya would be accepted. i.e. something
would be taken as a recompense.

196
00:13:40,458 --> 00:13:45,647
Or it may be that some prisoners 
are exchanged from either side,

197
00:13:45,647 --> 00:13:48,112
or there might be some 
other form of exchange,

198
00:13:48,112 --> 00:13:51,266
or it may be that
some ransom is accepted.

199
00:13:51,266 --> 00:13:55,407
Hence, the starting point
of slavery was nipped.

200
00:13:55,407 --> 00:13:59,697
The existing slaves 
or the woman slaves,

201
00:13:59,697 --> 00:14:04,190
for them the path to freedom 
wasn't opened in this manner.

202
00:14:04,190 --> 00:14:06,651
Opening of it would have
become oppression.

203
00:14:06,651 --> 00:14:08,751
They were living human beings.

204
00:14:08,751 --> 00:14:12,281
Those wouldn't have had any
place to stay or sleep

205
00:14:12,281 --> 00:14:15,675
and what they would
do for their living?

206
00:14:15,675 --> 00:14:20,005
That was left to them.
And the instructions

207
00:14:20,005 --> 00:14:23,233
were given to people that
to treat them with the same

208
00:14:23,233 --> 00:14:26,869
what you eat and drink 
and have the same

209
00:14:26,869 --> 00:14:29,792
arrangements done for them
which you do for yourselves.

210
00:14:29,792 --> 00:14:37,127
Their self-respect was reinstated.
Their names as slaves were changed.

211
00:14:37,127 --> 00:14:39,987
These reforms were done.

212
00:14:39,987 --> 00:14:44,700
Obviously, in one generation 
and the people who had been

213
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:47,894
obviously existing from before, 
or came after being traded

214
00:14:47,894 --> 00:14:50,546
at different places in the world, 
they had to hang on,

215
00:14:50,546 --> 00:14:53,119
so they were left for 
gradual enactment.

216
00:14:53,119 --> 00:14:54,222
that they are 
gradually made extinct.

217
00:14:54,222 --> 00:14:55,582
There wasn't any 
measure required,

218
00:14:55,582 --> 00:15:00,896
and any such step would
have become quite difficult for them

219
00:15:00,896 --> 00:15:04,810
and the State was not in
a position that those people

220
00:15:04,810 --> 00:15:09,371
who had paid money 
and spent their wealth to buy them,

221
00:15:09,371 --> 00:15:11,950
to return their money 
for their freedom.

222
00:15:11,950 --> 00:15:15,962
This was the wisest way, 
albeit in the end,

223
00:15:15,962 --> 00:15:20,669
In Surah Noor, it was announced
that all slaves whether

224
00:15:20,669 --> 00:15:25,356
they are men or women
if they wish for their freedom

225
00:15:25,356 --> 00:15:28,664
then they should prove that 
they are independently capable

226
00:15:28,664 --> 00:15:31,632
of sustaining themselves,

227
00:15:31,632 --> 00:15:34,690
then the people would be 
bound to make them free.

228
00:15:34,690 --> 00:15:36,901
This method was
adopted by Islam.

229
00:15:36,901 --> 00:15:40,399
And during this gradual process,
there wasn't any need for

230
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:43,878
any revolutionary measures. 
It would have set a bad example.

231
00:15:43,878 --> 00:15:47,292
According to me, this is a
point of deep research

232
00:15:47,292 --> 00:15:51,180
that when Allah Himself 
wanted to end this evil,

233
00:15:51,180 --> 00:15:54,895
then what wisdom 
He had adopted.

234
00:15:54,895 --> 00:15:57,309
Out of which there
wasn't any turmoil

235
00:15:57,309 --> 00:16:01,358
or war as a consequence, 
and there wasn't the need

236
00:16:01,358 --> 00:16:03,747
to make camps for them, 
there wasn't such pressure

237
00:16:03,747 --> 00:16:05,129
on the Government,

238
00:16:05,129 --> 00:16:08,432
and homeless people were
not resplendent in lanes and bazaars

239
00:16:08,432 --> 00:16:12,108
rather the door was shut 
upon with great tact,

240
00:16:12,108 --> 00:16:14,767
and for the future,
it was left to situations.

241
00:16:14,767 --> 00:16:18,318
Hence it is not a reality 
that except for the deviations

242
00:16:18,318 --> 00:16:21,562
of the Monarchs when
slavery ended in the world,

243
00:16:21,562 --> 00:16:25,872
non of our societies 
had slavery then.

244
00:16:25,872 --> 00:16:30,359
i.e. leave aside the Harem Kings, 
and Nawabs as they were ready

245
00:16:30,359 --> 00:16:36,825
to infringe upon all the things,
there are a lot of women of the Mughals

246
00:16:36,825 --> 00:16:41,519
who remained Hindu 
and in spite of that

247
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:46,282
marriages took place with them. 
This wasn't done as per Islam.

248
00:16:46,282 --> 00:16:50,578
Hence, the way adopted by 
Islam was perfectly effective

249
00:16:50,578 --> 00:16:53,563
and the doors on 
slavery were shut,

250
00:16:53,563 --> 00:16:57,687
and the opening of the path of freedom 
for men was also gradually opened.

251
00:16:57,687 --> 00:17:00,332
[Faisal] Thank you, Sir.

252
00:17:00,332 --> 00:17:04,324
The next question 
is of Ahmed Khan Sir.

253
00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:06,606
Ahmed Khan Sahab,
I am unmuting your Mic.

254
00:17:06,606 --> 00:17:08,285
You may ask the question.

255
00:17:08,285 --> 00:17:12,342
[Ahmed Khan] Assalam
Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab.

256
00:17:12,342 --> 00:17:14,354
[Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Saalam.

257
00:17:14,354 --> 00:17:18,318
[Ahmed Khan] Ghamidi Sahab my question
is related to the Quran.

258
00:17:18,318 --> 00:17:24,137
I have read the translation 
of your Ustaz Amin Ahsan Islahi

259
00:17:24,137 --> 00:17:28,646
and your translation too. 
Your translation of the Ayah

260
00:17:28,646 --> 00:17:34,396
"Fabi Ayyiaa Laiikuma
Rabbikuma Tukazzebaan",

261
00:17:34,396 --> 00:17:38,487
is done a little differently, 
and the translation of your Ustaz

262
00:17:38,487 --> 00:17:41,247
for almost every Ayah is different.

263
00:17:41,247 --> 00:17:47,227
If the preceding Ayah is for
Nemah then the translation of

264
00:17:47,227 --> 00:17:49,741
"Fabi Ayyiaa Laiikuma
Rabbikuma Tukazzebaan",

265
00:17:49,741 --> 00:17:53,127
is accompanying Nemah.
Sir, I would like to know,

266
00:17:53,127 --> 00:17:58,367
how broad is its meaning, and what
is the reason for so great a difference?

267
00:17:58,367 --> 00:18:02,721
[Ghamidi] The word which has been
used in the Arabic language

268
00:18:02,721 --> 00:18:07,849
has such a broad meaning, and according
to the context and the background,

269
00:18:07,849 --> 00:18:12,508
it is used in different aspects.

270
00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:16,645
Hence some people like
Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi,

271
00:18:16,645 --> 00:18:21,766
or my respectable Ustaz 
Imam Amin Ahsan Islahi,

272
00:18:21,766 --> 00:18:28,272
they have used the method that in every
place they have used a different word.

273
00:18:28,272 --> 00:18:36,819
I feel that the word Shaan in Urdu 
language possesses a similar broadness.

274
00:18:36,819 --> 00:18:42,298
So for this word even though 
its broadness is not of that degree,

275
00:18:42,298 --> 00:18:44,670
which is possessed by
the word 'Ala',

276
00:18:44,670 --> 00:18:46,892
however, this too,
if you look at its usages

277
00:18:46,892 --> 00:18:49,854
possesses a lot 
of broadness in itself.

278
00:18:49,854 --> 00:18:52,734
Hence, I have preferred 
since there is a single word,

279
00:18:52,734 --> 00:18:56,105
hence if is such a word is there
in the Urdu language

280
00:18:56,105 --> 00:19:00,049
which is its counterpart, which
nearly expresses the idea,

281
00:19:00,049 --> 00:19:02,338
then that should be used,

282
00:19:02,338 --> 00:19:04,923
both these approaches
are absolutely fine,

283
00:19:04,923 --> 00:19:06,411
and both can be adopted.

284
00:19:06,411 --> 00:19:08,790
[Faisal] Thank you 
very much, Sir.

285
00:19:08,790 --> 00:19:12,570
We move on to the next question.
The next question is

286
00:19:12,570 --> 00:19:15,603
from Nasar Ahmed Sahab.
Nasar Sahab your Mic. is being unmuted.

287
00:19:15,603 --> 00:19:17,364
You may ask your question.

288
00:19:17,364 --> 00:19:20,393
[Nasar Ahmed] As Salam 
Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab.

289
00:19:20,393 --> 00:19:23,456
[Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam.

290
00:19:23,456 --> 00:19:26,424
[Nasar Ahmed] I will quickly say my 
question as I have a request too,

291
00:19:26,424 --> 00:19:30,877
I came across a Hadees, probably
it is in Tirmidhi and Ibn-e Maaja,

292
00:19:30,877 --> 00:19:34,554
and similar to it is found
in Bukhari that it is better

293
00:19:34,554 --> 00:19:43,968
to delay the Isha Salah, 
and what I have gathered till now

294
00:19:43,968 --> 00:19:47,718
is whenever, the time for 
a Salah starts then

295
00:19:47,718 --> 00:19:49,850
we should offer it 
at the earliest,

296
00:19:49,850 --> 00:19:52,377
so please give some
guidance about it.

297
00:19:52,377 --> 00:19:56,406
And I request Faisal Sahab 
and your colleagues

298
00:19:56,406 --> 00:20:00,741
and students that here 
we generally talk in the English language,

299
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:04,110
and our children are generally 
studying in the same language,

300
00:20:04,110 --> 00:20:07,718
hence if some reading list
is published for regular people

301
00:20:07,718 --> 00:20:10,435
who are not scholars 
rather train themselves

302
00:20:10,435 --> 00:20:13,777
by gathering information 
and knowledge,

303
00:20:13,777 --> 00:20:17,054
hence if there is a reading list
in the English language,

304
00:20:17,054 --> 00:20:21,383
I saw just now that on kindle,
Islam a Comprehensive Introduction

305
00:20:21,383 --> 00:20:25,768
is available, so that is very good.

306
00:20:25,768 --> 00:20:29,122
If something is this sort
would be great, please. Thank you.

307
00:20:29,122 --> 00:20:34,255
[Ghamidi] The matter which you said
in the end, its arrangement

308
00:20:34,255 --> 00:20:36,122
is being done 
by this center

309
00:20:36,122 --> 00:20:40,159
as well as by the Al Mawrid
Institutes all over the world.

310
00:20:40,159 --> 00:20:42,686
In Pakistan, Australia, 
and wherever they are,

311
00:20:42,686 --> 00:20:49,134
you may contact them. 
As far as your question is concerned,

312
00:20:49,134 --> 00:20:52,521
its answer is that the model 
set by the Prophet (pbuh),

313
00:20:52,521 --> 00:20:58,099
is the best example for
us in Ibadaat,

314
00:20:58,099 --> 00:21:03,411
and he liked that there should
be a delay in the Isha Salah,

315
00:21:03,411 --> 00:21:09,028
its real objective is that it should be
offered near to the time for sleep.

316
00:21:09,028 --> 00:21:13,052
So that our last activity for
the day is the Ibadah of Allah.

317
00:21:13,052 --> 00:21:16,460
Hence, it is Mustahab, 
a liked activity, a good thing,

318
00:21:16,460 --> 00:21:18,433
the Prophet (pbuh) has liked it.

319
00:21:18,433 --> 00:21:23,932
However, when it is time we may offer 
the Salah, there isn't any harm in it.

320
00:21:23,932 --> 00:21:28,183
[Faisal] Thank you, Sir.
Let me also tell you,

321
00:21:28,183 --> 00:21:30,677
that you may visit 
Ghamidi .org/books

322
00:21:30,677 --> 00:21:34,246
then the books available with us, 
where there are books

323
00:21:34,246 --> 00:21:37,172
in Urdu as well as in English,
and there are sections,

324
00:21:37,172 --> 00:21:40,192
where you may visit the 
English Section to see the English books.

325
00:21:40,192 --> 00:21:43,796
other than this, if you wish to ask some
questions through the App.'ASK GHAMIDI'

326
00:21:43,796 --> 00:21:47,012
then you may do so, Insha Allah,
we will try to help you out,

327
00:21:47,012 --> 00:21:50,766
in the best possible way.
We offer courses in English as well.

328
00:21:50,766 --> 00:21:53,867
The Sunday School has English
as it's medium of teaching.

329
00:21:53,867 --> 00:21:56,203
There a lot many things available,
Insha Allah we will try

330
00:21:56,203 --> 00:21:57,571
to help you out in
whatever way possible.

331
00:21:57,571 --> 00:22:01,988
We go on to the next question. The next 
question is from Shahid Ashrafi Sahab.

332
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:04,388
Shahid Sahab your
Mic. is being unmuted,

333
00:22:04,388 --> 00:22:06,692
please go ahead 
with the question.

334
00:22:06,692 --> 00:22:08,404
[Shahid Ashrafi] As Salam Alaikum,

335
00:22:08,404 --> 00:22:13,361
Ghamidi Sahab my question actually 
relates to the last session.

336
00:22:13,361 --> 00:22:18,092
And I still have some
confusion about the slabs in Zakat,

337
00:22:18,092 --> 00:22:21,214
especially about the
slabs in the salary,

338
00:22:21,214 --> 00:22:25,331
I viewed one of the lectures 
of Dr. Shahzad Sahab,

339
00:22:25,331 --> 00:22:29,321
there he says that slab 
which is exempted

340
00:22:29,321 --> 00:22:36,043
that is deducted and he says
that the Zakah should be calculated

341
00:22:36,043 --> 00:22:39,634
on the remaining amount. 
And you probably are of the opinion that

342
00:22:39,634 --> 00:22:42,794
it should be on
the total amount.

343
00:22:42,794 --> 00:22:47,367
i.e. on the full salary. 
So please remove this ambiguity

344
00:22:47,367 --> 00:22:52,756
and the second is, 
if the tax is to be paid on the full amount

345
00:22:52,756 --> 00:22:54,593
then the question is that

346
00:22:54,593 --> 00:22:58,453
we pay the amount in our HSA
account without having paid the tax,

347
00:22:58,453 --> 00:23:06,850
we contribute there.
Similar such things are also there.

348
00:23:06,850 --> 00:23:10,669
Then in that case we would
have already paid the Zakat

349
00:23:10,669 --> 00:23:13,304
while we are still paying 
on the full amount.

350
00:23:13,304 --> 00:23:17,906
So please explain this and if possible, 
can we have an exclusive program

351
00:23:17,906 --> 00:23:21,365
arranged with respect to Zakat

352
00:23:21,365 --> 00:23:24,985
then the confusion of many
people can be removed through it.

353
00:23:24,985 --> 00:23:25,753
Thank you.

354
00:23:25,753 --> 00:23:30,132
[Ghamidi] As per my knowledge 
a lot of programs have been done.

355
00:23:30,132 --> 00:23:35,430
However, since this is a dynamic issue,
the questions keep surfacing.

356
00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:39,927
The answer to your question is that
this is a purely innovative opinion,

357
00:23:39,927 --> 00:23:45,520
and such differences
are natural and will exist.

358
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,047
Hence we should not
be perturbed by it.

359
00:23:49,047 --> 00:23:52,352
Allah (swt) has Himself left this 
avenue open for His Deen,

360
00:23:52,352 --> 00:23:55,814
that some of the things are
fixed and some have been left

361
00:23:55,814 --> 00:23:59,882
for the human intellect that
the people themselves fix them out.

362
00:23:59,882 --> 00:24:03,309
Hence, some differences
do take place there

363
00:24:03,309 --> 00:24:05,831
and this has continued right 
from the first day.

364
00:24:05,831 --> 00:24:08,619
My inclination is towards 
the point which you stated,

365
00:24:08,619 --> 00:24:12,685
therefore some person might say
that there is a difficulty

366
00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:17,558
surfacing for the people and since
there isn't any explicit clarification

367
00:24:17,558 --> 00:24:20,397
from the Prophet (pbuh)
is not available from the Prophet (pbuh)

368
00:24:20,397 --> 00:24:21,799
and we are 
carrying out 'Ijtejhad',

369
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:24,532
hence convenience has to be 
kept in focus while doing 'Ijtihad'.

370
00:24:24,532 --> 00:24:28,639
Hence, on whatever we are 
satisfied we can act accordingly,

371
00:24:28,639 --> 00:24:33,796
the point that has been fixed in Shariah
is actually the code of conduct of Zakah.

372
00:24:33,796 --> 00:24:36,476
That should never
be infringed upon.

373
00:24:36,476 --> 00:24:39,283
[Faisal] Thank you, Sir.

374
00:24:39,283 --> 00:24:43,429
Muhammad Usman Sahab, it is 
your turn for the next question,

375
00:24:43,429 --> 00:24:46,608
I am unmuting your Mic. please
do go ahead with your question.

376
00:24:46,608 --> 00:24:48,588
[Muhammad Usman] As Salam Alaikum,

377
00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:54,899
my question is that Allah (swt) has never
sent a compact Book on Islam,

378
00:24:54,899 --> 00:24:59,488
for example your book 'Meezan'. 
Why hasn't He revealed such a Book?

379
00:24:59,488 --> 00:25:02,257
Is the test of intellect 
aimed through it?

380
00:25:02,257 --> 00:25:08,219
[Ghamidi] You have done a 
very interesting question,

381
00:25:08,219 --> 00:25:14,103
All the Books of Allah are 
compact, however, this is not His style.

382
00:25:14,103 --> 00:25:19,224
In every era, the outlook 
of people, their approach

383
00:25:19,224 --> 00:25:22,301
and understanding of
things, keep changing.

384
00:25:22,301 --> 00:25:26,120
According to this the Ulema
present them accordingly,

385
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:29,515
this happens for every 
subject of study in the world.

386
00:25:29,515 --> 00:25:33,073
If you put a glance at the Books
of Allah then

387
00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:36,926
Torah was a very 
compact Book on Law.

388
00:25:36,926 --> 00:25:40,320
From the beginning till the end 
the Shariah or the Law

389
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,881
given by Allah (swt) to the Bani Israel
has been stated there.

390
00:25:44,881 --> 00:25:47,774
And it has been stated
from both aspects,

391
00:25:47,774 --> 00:25:51,335
i.e. the Divine Law of Allah (swt),
that has been fully stated there,

392
00:25:51,335 --> 00:25:55,945
and in the same way, 
the Law for Guidance

393
00:25:55,945 --> 00:26:00,128
for the whole of humanity,
that too has been fully stated.

394
00:26:00,128 --> 00:26:04,593
More or less the same style is 
found there which is used by us.

395
00:26:04,593 --> 00:26:08,460
i.e. the law has been 
elaborated in an orderly way.

396
00:26:08,460 --> 00:26:12,003
As far as the Zabur 
(Psalms of David) is concerned,

397
00:26:12,003 --> 00:26:14,508
the supplications are there.
Those are exactly like,

398
00:26:14,508 --> 00:26:20,039
I am stating without comparing,
like an anthology of Ghazals.

399
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:23,930
Hence, the word 'Mazaamiir' (Psalms)
has been used there.

400
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:28,537
Those are very beautiful Ghazals
or very beautiful songs,

401
00:26:28,537 --> 00:26:32,260
or you may say, very beautiful
Dua and Wishperings,

402
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:36,405
when you read them, then 
everything is perfect in its place.

403
00:26:36,405 --> 00:26:40,323
The same situation is of the Bible,
it could not be arranged,

404
00:26:40,323 --> 00:26:46,087
had it been arranged by Allah, then 
it would have been similar to it.

405
00:26:46,087 --> 00:26:49,730
However, the style of
the Quran is that

406
00:26:49,730 --> 00:26:52,345
it is the Book 
of 'Inzaar' (Warning).

407
00:26:52,345 --> 00:26:55,143
i.e. since the chain of Prophethood
was about to end,

408
00:26:55,143 --> 00:26:57,548
hence both the objectives
have been fulfilled.

409
00:26:57,548 --> 00:27:02,060
Its topic is Guidance, and
that is under discussion.

410
00:27:02,060 --> 00:27:06,899
However, its style of alerting,
therefore this is its compactness.

411
00:27:06,899 --> 00:27:12,326
My or somebody else's book 
cannot possess that compactness,

412
00:27:12,326 --> 00:27:14,964
the compactness that is seen in it.

413
00:27:14,964 --> 00:27:19,427
The work that legislations
are separated out from it,

414
00:27:19,427 --> 00:27:22,959
the discussions relating
to 'Imaniyaat' (Belief Systems)

415
00:27:22,959 --> 00:27:25,751
are taken out of it,
this is the forte of Ulema

416
00:27:25,751 --> 00:27:27,715
and they have 
always been doing it.

417
00:27:27,715 --> 00:27:32,572
The Book of Allah should be a live
Book addressing the human beings.

418
00:27:32,572 --> 00:27:35,181
And that is the 
style of the Quran.

419
00:27:35,181 --> 00:27:37,661
[Faisal] Thank you, Sir.

420
00:27:37,661 --> 00:27:40,033
We move on to the 
next question,

421
00:27:40,033 --> 00:27:42,806
The next question is 
from Zahid Gulkhan Sahab.

422
00:27:42,806 --> 00:27:45,818
Zahid Gulkhan Sahab, 
your Mic. is unmuted,

423
00:27:45,818 --> 00:27:47,629
you may ask your question.

424
00:27:47,629 --> 00:27:50,892
[Zahid Gulkhan] Salam 
Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab.

425
00:27:50,892 --> 00:27:53,412
[Zahid Gulkhan] My 
question is that

426
00:27:53,412 --> 00:27:55,646
if someone wishes to 
become an Aalim of Deen,

427
00:27:55,646 --> 00:27:58,715
[Faisal] Zahid Sahab would 
you speak a little louder, please.

428
00:27:58,715 --> 00:28:00,525
[Zahid Gulkhan] My
question is that

429
00:28:00,525 --> 00:28:02,850
if someone wishes to
become an Aalim of Deen,

430
00:28:02,850 --> 00:28:04,973
then what should he do
in places like India,

431
00:28:04,973 --> 00:28:07,675
as if someone wishes to
become an Aalim of Deen

432
00:28:07,675 --> 00:28:10,509
then we have to go to
a Madrasa of a particular Sect.

433
00:28:10,509 --> 00:28:13,821
However, if one wishes to 
study the Deen in its entirety

434
00:28:13,821 --> 00:28:17,281
then how is it possible, if you may 
suggest some Organization or method.

435
00:28:17,281 --> 00:28:22,457
[Ghamidi] You learn the Arabic language,

436
00:28:22,457 --> 00:28:25,804
have command over it
to the best possible level,

437
00:28:25,804 --> 00:28:30,952
the knowledges and arts, which have 
the status of the legacy of the Muslims,

438
00:28:30,952 --> 00:28:34,984
learn the essential
arts and sciences,

439
00:28:34,984 --> 00:28:37,869
those can be learned
from independent tutors.

440
00:28:37,869 --> 00:28:40,866
That you may also learn
from a Madrasa of Deen.

441
00:28:40,866 --> 00:28:45,485
Since for the knowledges and the Arts,
there isn't any question of sectarianism.

442
00:28:45,485 --> 00:28:51,099
After this comes the stage where the
Quran or the Hadees is learned or taught.

443
00:28:51,099 --> 00:28:55,222
Therefore when we will have 
developed the fundamental capacity

444
00:28:55,222 --> 00:28:59,937
then we with our determination
can study both these things,

445
00:28:59,937 --> 00:29:02,830
and understand them.

446
00:29:02,830 --> 00:29:04,641
This methodology has been 
adopted by many scholars,

447
00:29:04,641 --> 00:29:06,398
we too have adopted
the same methodology.

448
00:29:06,398 --> 00:29:09,203
So you may follow them as well.

449
00:29:09,203 --> 00:29:11,101
[Faisal] Thank you, Sir.

450
00:29:11,101 --> 00:29:14,788
Let me just remind you
that the names that

451
00:29:14,788 --> 00:29:17,540
are there in the profile 
of ASK GHAMIDI,

452
00:29:17,540 --> 00:29:19,640
the same name should be
displayed on Zoom,

453
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,878
if those names aren't displayed
so you may Rename them.

454
00:29:21,878 --> 00:29:25,883
If your names are different 
then I would not know

455
00:29:25,883 --> 00:29:27,862
whether you have
logged in or not,

456
00:29:27,862 --> 00:29:30,816
hence there is the possibility of
your name being skipped by me.

457
00:29:30,816 --> 00:29:33,963
hence whatever name is there
in the profile for ASK GHAMIDI,

458
00:29:33,963 --> 00:29:36,571
the same name should
be displayed in Zoom too.

459
00:29:36,571 --> 00:29:39,040
The next question is
from Usman Sadat Sahab.

460
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,341
Usman Sahab you
may ask your question.

461
00:29:41,341 --> 00:29:44,484
[Usman Sadat] As Salam 
Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab.

462
00:29:44,484 --> 00:29:47,288
[Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam.

463
00:29:47,288 --> 00:29:49,675
[Usman Sadat] Sir, in your 
Tafseer Al Bayan,

464
00:29:49,675 --> 00:29:52,280
'Ar Rahmanir Rahim' 
the Ayah of Surah Fatiha,

465
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,697
the meaning of Islahi Sahab
which you have quoted,

466
00:29:56,697 --> 00:29:59,118
then according to him,
he has written that

467
00:29:59,118 --> 00:30:03,816
in the vigor of Rahmaniat, 
He hasn't just Created this world,

468
00:30:03,816 --> 00:30:08,498
rather He wasn't even 
unmindful of its Guardianship.

469
00:30:08,498 --> 00:30:10,715
Hence, if we consider this Universe to 
be the creation of human beings

470
00:30:10,715 --> 00:30:12,731
and talk then it is understandable
that human being becomes emotional,

471
00:30:12,731 --> 00:30:15,419
however, that Lord who is free from
all such emotions and feelings,

472
00:30:15,419 --> 00:30:17,712
is it appropriate 
to use such words for Him?

473
00:30:17,712 --> 00:30:19,829
Hence the meaning 
which he has elaborated,

474
00:30:19,829 --> 00:30:22,317
are those automatically meant 
by the words

475
00:30:22,317 --> 00:30:26,655
or this formation of argument is 
as per their understanding? Thank you.

476
00:30:26,655 --> 00:30:30,712
[Ghamidi] The image of Allah 
which the Quran has given,

477
00:30:30,712 --> 00:30:35,149
is that of a Live,
permanent, fixed Entity.

478
00:30:35,149 --> 00:30:42,033
There Allah (swt) expresses
His Anger, Love, Attention.

479
00:30:42,033 --> 00:30:49,077
An Entity comes into our imagination
which is Living and to say that

480
00:30:49,077 --> 00:30:51,429
Allah (swt) is an Entity that is loftier
than to have emotions

481
00:30:51,429 --> 00:30:55,446
then it would become the 
law of philosophers

482
00:30:55,446 --> 00:30:57,728
or 'Illat -ul- Ilal' (Cause and Effect).

483
00:30:57,728 --> 00:31:00,826
Allah (swt) has expressed
His sentiments in the Quran.

484
00:31:00,826 --> 00:31:05,421
And has used the same words
which are normally used among us.

485
00:31:05,421 --> 00:31:08,219
Albeit, what is the nature of 
the sentiments

486
00:31:08,219 --> 00:31:11,407
and how do they arise,
among us obviously

487
00:31:11,407 --> 00:31:15,377
those are quite imperfect,
Allah (swt) is above this imperfection.

488
00:31:15,377 --> 00:31:20,189
however, he is a living Entity,
if you study the Quran sometimes,

489
00:31:20,189 --> 00:31:25,851
then in multiple places, Allah (swt) has
attributed this adjective to Himself,

490
00:31:25,851 --> 00:31:30,711
Allah has said that He (swt) 
hates that person very much.

491
00:31:30,711 --> 00:31:34,510
Or "He loves it". So all these terms
which are used

492
00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:37,845
for the expression of emotions, have
been used for Allah (swt) in the Quran.

493
00:31:37,845 --> 00:31:47,228
There is no doubt in it, as far as 
the opinion is concerned that

494
00:31:47,228 --> 00:31:50,751
what does the word
'Rahman' signifies,

495
00:31:50,751 --> 00:31:57,104
is not an issue of understanding, rather
the Arabic language makes it obvious.

496
00:31:57,104 --> 00:32:02,090
i.e. whatever are the adjectives
that are equivalent in degree,

497
00:32:02,090 --> 00:32:04,642
where this intensity
and passion is found,

498
00:32:04,642 --> 00:32:07,460
that we may convert 
into a suitable word,

499
00:32:07,460 --> 00:32:11,766
if there arises some misunderstanding 
with the word of emotion,

500
00:32:11,766 --> 00:32:16,673
then we may substitute it with
passion, excitement, or fury,

501
00:32:16,673 --> 00:32:22,103
or any term, hence the words that have
been used by Allah (swt) for Himself,

502
00:32:22,103 --> 00:32:27,420
if we look at them from 
the point of view of attributes,

503
00:32:27,420 --> 00:32:30,803
those are the same which 
we use for human beings.

504
00:32:30,803 --> 00:32:33,765
And the words that are chosen
for deeds are also the same.

505
00:32:33,765 --> 00:32:35,921
Those which are used 
for human beings.

506
00:32:35,921 --> 00:32:38,086
Hence there is no harm in it.
Why has this been done?

507
00:32:38,086 --> 00:32:42,643
Since we do not have the ability
to imagine anything beyond it.

508
00:32:42,643 --> 00:32:46,463
Hence our deeds, 
our attributes have been allegorically

509
00:32:46,463 --> 00:32:49,899
used to enable us to form a concept.
And along with it,

510
00:32:49,899 --> 00:32:52,337
the warning has been given that

511
00:32:52,337 --> 00:32:56,701
these are 'Mutaashabihaat'
(Meaning only known to Allah).

512
00:32:56,701 --> 00:32:58,826
Do not speculate for
'Allah to be in your form'.

513
00:32:58,826 --> 00:33:03,111
However, just for understanding, 
I have used the method of simile,

514
00:33:03,111 --> 00:33:07,075
which would enable you to
form a concept of your own.

515
00:33:07,075 --> 00:33:09,768
hence, we are compelled 
to use the same words,

516
00:33:09,768 --> 00:33:13,130
we do not have any
other option other than it,

517
00:33:13,130 --> 00:33:16,212
although we will clearly tell,
"Laisa Kamislihi Shai".

518
00:33:16,212 --> 00:33:18,549
"Allah's example is nothing".

519
00:33:18,549 --> 00:33:21,522
[Faisal] Thank you Ghamidi Sahab.

520
00:33:21,522 --> 00:33:26,497
We go on to the next question. The 
next question is of Mashud Irfan Sahab.

521
00:33:26,497 --> 00:33:29,894
Mashud Sahab your Mic. is unmuted, 
you may go ahead with your question.

522
00:33:29,894 --> 00:33:32,484
[Mashud Irfan] Salam
Alaikum Ghamidi Sahab.

523
00:33:32,484 --> 00:33:34,157
[Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam.

524
00:33:34,157 --> 00:33:36,434
[Mashud Irfan] Hope that 
you are hale and hearty.

525
00:33:36,434 --> 00:33:38,532
My question is related to
the Law for Inheritance.

526
00:33:38,532 --> 00:33:41,083
And the question is
we are aware that

527
00:33:41,083 --> 00:33:43,257
when there are offsprings

528
00:33:43,257 --> 00:33:45,509
as well as brothers 
and sisters of the deceased,

529
00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:47,822
then the parents share is one-sixth,

530
00:33:47,822 --> 00:33:51,517
however, if both are not alive 
then the father's share is two-third,

531
00:33:51,517 --> 00:33:55,125
and the mother's share is one-third.
And we know that

532
00:33:55,125 --> 00:33:58,749
the basis given by Allah (swt)
for Law of inheritance,

533
00:33:58,749 --> 00:34:01,900
is 'Aqrabun Nafa', hence 
what is the reason that

534
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:05,415
in one situation the share 
of parents is equal

535
00:34:05,415 --> 00:34:07,719
and in the other situation,
the share of the father doubles

536
00:34:07,719 --> 00:34:09,848
in comparison to the mother.

537
00:34:09,848 --> 00:34:11,981
And in the end, 
I would like to say that

538
00:34:11,981 --> 00:34:14,666
we sincerely love you
and your efforts

539
00:34:14,666 --> 00:34:18,413
and always make Dua to Allah
to bestow you with the best of rewards

540
00:34:18,413 --> 00:34:21,014
and let this noble work
continue uninterruptedly.

541
00:34:21,014 --> 00:34:21,726
Amen, 
Salamalaikum.

542
00:34:21,726 --> 00:34:22,542
[Ghamidi] Thank 
you very much.

543
00:34:22,542 --> 00:34:24,507
Like when we have offspring

544
00:34:24,507 --> 00:34:33,338
then all our matters of
'Asbiyat' are related to him.

545
00:34:33,338 --> 00:34:38,817
We see the future and believe
that the strength that strength

546
00:34:38,817 --> 00:34:42,204
that we are to acquire has
been achieved through him.

547
00:34:42,204 --> 00:34:45,389
If the offsprings are not there,
then the same status

548
00:34:45,389 --> 00:34:48,873
is assumed by brothers and sisters.
However, if neither the offsprings

549
00:34:48,873 --> 00:34:53,357
nor the brothers and sisters are there,
then everything transfers to the parents.

550
00:34:53,357 --> 00:34:57,441
and those responsibilities
which the offsprings

551
00:34:57,441 --> 00:34:59,336
or the brothers 
and sisters were assume,

552
00:34:59,336 --> 00:35:02,152
if you ponder a little then the same
responsibilities are entrusted

553
00:35:02,152 --> 00:35:04,766
according to the proximity 
of the relationship, to the father.

554
00:35:04,766 --> 00:35:07,607
Hence, the nature of the share has 
been made similar to the offspring.

555
00:35:07,607 --> 00:35:11,723
[Faisal] Thank you, Ghamidi Sahab.

556
00:35:11,723 --> 00:35:14,384
We take on the next question.

557
00:35:14,384 --> 00:35:17,406
The next question is from
Fatima Khadijah Sahiba.

558
00:35:17,406 --> 00:35:22,258
Fatima Sahiba your Mic. is unmuted, 
do go ahead with the question.

559
00:35:22,258 --> 00:35:34,667
[Faisal] You will have a pop-up display
where you have to unmute yourself.

560
00:35:34,667 --> 00:35:51,206
We move along, the next question that 
we have is from Saira Qureshi Sahiba.

561
00:35:51,206 --> 00:35:56,638
Saira Sahiba I am unmuting your Mic.
please go ahead with your question.

562
00:35:56,638 --> 00:36:00,427
[Saira Qureshi] Yes, Salam Alaikum.

563
00:36:00,427 --> 00:36:02,172
[Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam.

564
00:36:02,172 --> 00:36:06,131
[Saira Qureshi] I have to ask is what is
the difference between Iblees and Satan?

565
00:36:06,131 --> 00:36:08,638
Are they one and the same
or are they different?

566
00:36:08,638 --> 00:36:13,645
Or is the Iblees single or it
is in multiple numbers?

567
00:36:13,645 --> 00:36:18,007
If it is single then how 
come that he is misleading

568
00:36:18,007 --> 00:36:21,387
all the human beings 
of the world simultaneously,

569
00:36:21,387 --> 00:36:23,191
or is there an especial 
attribute for it?

570
00:36:23,191 --> 00:36:25,134
Or if the Iblees exist in multiple
numbers

571
00:36:25,134 --> 00:36:28,662
then had all these multiple numbers 
declined to prostrate before Adam?

572
00:36:28,662 --> 00:36:30,636
Thank you very much?

573
00:36:30,636 --> 00:36:35,349
[Ghamidi] Iblees is the
title of Azazel.

574
00:36:35,349 --> 00:36:41,660
i.e. the Jin that declined
to prostrate before Adam.

575
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:50,299
That was just single, Allah (swt)
punished him for this declining,

576
00:36:50,299 --> 00:36:56,497
as a consequence of it, he became more
arrogant and stood in challenge.

577
00:36:56,497 --> 00:37:02,093
Therefore, he asked for time, 
to continue his mission.

578
00:37:02,093 --> 00:37:10,111
Hence he keeps seeking followers
in the same way, as the leaders do.

579
00:37:10,111 --> 00:37:15,238
Hence the Quran has elaborated
in another place that

580
00:37:15,238 --> 00:37:18,273
he and his Race is 
carrying on with this work.

581
00:37:18,273 --> 00:37:22,841
i.e. his followers, his offspring, and
those who tread the path shown by him.

582
00:37:22,841 --> 00:37:29,524
Iblees is just one. Whether he is alive 
or dead we cannot say anything about it.

583
00:37:29,524 --> 00:37:33,857
However, he continues his 
mission with his colleagues.

584
00:37:33,857 --> 00:37:41,058
He never appears everywhere rather,
those Satans or rebellious people

585
00:37:41,058 --> 00:37:45,865
who are his followers whether they 
are among the Jins or human beings,

586
00:37:45,865 --> 00:37:48,157
they are the associates
for his mission.

587
00:37:48,157 --> 00:37:50,952
This too has been
elaborated by the Quran itself,

588
00:37:50,952 --> 00:37:55,627
There it has been said,
" Innahu Yarakum Hua Wa Qabilubhu",

589
00:37:55,627 --> 00:38:01,202
he and his fraternity, and in Surah Naas,
is said," Minal Jinnati Wannaas",

590
00:38:01,202 --> 00:38:05,632
that his disciples are among
the humans as well as among the Jin.

591
00:38:05,632 --> 00:38:09,547
Like the mission of people
continue in the world,

592
00:38:09,547 --> 00:38:12,397
in the same way,
his mission continues,

593
00:38:12,397 --> 00:38:14,930
and his disciples, colleagues,
and the people

594
00:38:14,930 --> 00:38:18,804
who are involved in Satanic activities
among Jin and the human beings

595
00:38:18,804 --> 00:38:22,439
who are doing this work and have
been doing it ever since

596
00:38:22,439 --> 00:38:25,457
the world came into existence 
and shall continue with it till Qiyamah,

597
00:38:25,457 --> 00:38:28,474
as that is the allowed 
time limit for his respite.

598
00:38:28,474 --> 00:38:33,457
The word of Satan is in a
way an attribute,

599
00:38:33,457 --> 00:38:36,486
it can be used for every rebel,
it may also be used for

600
00:38:36,486 --> 00:38:41,337
human beings and for Jin too,
it may be spoken in the singular

601
00:38:41,337 --> 00:38:45,712
as well as for a dozen people, 
this word has been used

602
00:38:45,712 --> 00:38:49,240
for the human beings too
in the Quran itself.

603
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:52,309
The rebels among Jin,
for them, it has been used too.

604
00:38:52,309 --> 00:38:56,264
And most importantly, 
it has been used for the Iblees as well.

605
00:38:56,264 --> 00:39:01,163
Hence, Satan is not the name 
of just one creature,

606
00:39:01,163 --> 00:39:04,848
rather, for all those creatures
who become rebellious,

607
00:39:04,848 --> 00:39:07,955
it is an adjective, which 
may be used for them.

608
00:39:07,955 --> 00:39:10,834
Albeit Iblees is 
the title of Azazel.

609
00:39:10,834 --> 00:39:14,143
[Faisal] Thank you, Ghamidi Sahab.

610
00:39:14,143 --> 00:39:18,091
The next question is from my 
namesake Faisal Ahmed Sahab.

611
00:39:18,091 --> 00:39:22,850
Faisal Sahab I am unmuting your Mic.
You may ask your question.

612
00:39:22,850 --> 00:39:26,118
[Faisal Ahmed] Yes, As Salam Alaikum, Sir.

613
00:39:26,118 --> 00:39:27,748
[Ghamidi] Wa Alaikum As Salam.

614
00:39:27,748 --> 00:39:29,333
[Faisal Ahmed] My question is

615
00:39:29,333 --> 00:39:31,997
about the last video
on the Return of Isa A.S.

616
00:39:31,997 --> 00:39:38,733
Ghamidi Sahab, there you have read the
Hadees where the time has been mentioned.

617
00:39:38,733 --> 00:39:42,159
From what I have understood there
are two fundamental objections that

618
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:43,748
we have to assume that

619
00:39:43,748 --> 00:39:46,659
Qustuntania (Istanbul)
will be recaptured once again.

620
00:39:46,659 --> 00:39:48,791
i.e. it will get out of
the hands of Muslims,

621
00:39:48,791 --> 00:39:52,553
and the second question was that
the era goes back to the ancient ways,

622
00:39:52,553 --> 00:39:54,813
swords are begun to be used.

623
00:39:54,813 --> 00:39:57,847
So these were the two 
objections that were understood by me.

624
00:39:57,847 --> 00:40:00,615
So here for the second point
which I was thinking that

625
00:40:00,615 --> 00:40:03,529
the Prophet (pbuh) has stated, 
then obviously,

626
00:40:03,529 --> 00:40:07,005
there wasn't any concept 
of the modern weaponry,

627
00:40:07,005 --> 00:40:09,516
hence the words that 
were usual

628
00:40:09,516 --> 00:40:13,920
or the weapons 
that were common,

629
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,658
in that terminology
the message is given,

630
00:40:14,658 --> 00:40:18,457
so can't we assume that
swords imply the arms of those times,

631
00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:24,218
or the spear that Hazrat Isa 
would use would actually not be a spear,

632
00:40:24,218 --> 00:40:28,741
rather an arm of that period
or he would not require it at all.

633
00:40:28,741 --> 00:40:31,693
Even if I predict something
for the future then

634
00:40:31,693 --> 00:40:35,683
I will at the utmost say that
there would be such a war in the future,

635
00:40:35,683 --> 00:40:38,311
however, the arms that 
will be used then,

636
00:40:38,311 --> 00:40:40,886
obviously, either I will use
the common terms,

637
00:40:40,886 --> 00:40:44,424
or take help from the words 
that are usual

638
00:40:44,424 --> 00:40:47,042
for describing the 
weapons of today.

639
00:40:47,042 --> 00:40:50,978
So can't we take it in this manner, 
can you please elaborate upon it?

640
00:40:50,978 --> 00:40:52,131
Thank you very much.

641
00:40:52,131 --> 00:40:55,268
[Ghamidi] How are we to interpret 
them or think upon them,

642
00:40:55,268 --> 00:40:59,733
for it, you may please wait
for the last episode.

643
00:40:59,733 --> 00:41:05,109
Till now I have just explained that the 
Narrations that are in our view,

644
00:41:05,109 --> 00:41:08,300
what are the different questions
that arise about them?

645
00:41:08,300 --> 00:41:12,556
I am yet to give a verdict, neither
I have expressed my opinion about it.

646
00:41:12,556 --> 00:41:16,015
I have been stating the 
reasons for my dissatisfaction.

647
00:41:16,015 --> 00:41:18,656
You see so and so 
questions also arise,

648
00:41:18,656 --> 00:41:23,211
so I have put forth the
questions

649
00:41:23,211 --> 00:41:26,503
and Insha Allah the episode
that will be aired on this Friday

650
00:41:26,503 --> 00:41:29,584
there the aspect from which
the Quran looks at this matter,

651
00:41:29,584 --> 00:41:32,865
that will come up and the arguments
done by the people,

652
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:35,085
that I have to discuss a little,

653
00:41:35,085 --> 00:41:37,860
and in the end,
I will say as to

654
00:41:37,860 --> 00:41:40,847
what should be the angle of
perception for these Narrations?

655
00:41:40,847 --> 00:41:45,149
[Faisal] Okay, Faisal Sahab

656
00:41:45,149 --> 00:41:48,518
when the next episode
of Response to 23 Questions is released,

657
00:41:48,518 --> 00:41:53,508
you are in the App, so you
will receive the notification InshaAllah.

658
00:41:53,508 --> 00:41:55,847
We go on to the next question.

659
00:41:55,847 --> 00:41:58,901
Osama Ahmed Sahab I 
am unmuting your Mic.

660
00:41:58,901 --> 00:42:01,015
please go ahead with your question.

661
00:42:01,015 --> 00:42:07,326
[Osama Ahmed] As Salam Alaikum, Sir.
My query with you is

662
00:42:07,326 --> 00:42:11,416
like there isn't any original 
Scripture available of the Quran,

663
00:42:11,416 --> 00:42:14,955
which would have been written during
the times of the Prophet (pbuh),

664
00:42:14,955 --> 00:42:18,428
then the point that comes 
to mind is

665
00:42:18,428 --> 00:42:20,209
whether the original Scriptures 
of Torah, Psalms,

666
00:42:20,209 --> 00:42:21,497
and the Bible are available

667
00:42:21,497 --> 00:42:23,826
or these too exist through 
the process of 'Ijma' and 'Tawatur'?

668
00:42:23,826 --> 00:42:27,065
Since your point of view 
is that the Divine Scriptures

669
00:42:27,065 --> 00:42:31,575
are available in their original form, 
and the changes that

670
00:42:31,575 --> 00:42:34,410
have taken place are only 
in the historical records.

671
00:42:34,410 --> 00:42:36,530
Kindly do explain this point.

672
00:42:36,530 --> 00:42:39,058
And secondly, in brief,
please tell me

673
00:42:39,058 --> 00:42:42,588
when will your Program
"Zaawia-e Ghamidi" start once again?

674
00:42:42,588 --> 00:42:44,546
Thank you very much , Sir.

675
00:42:44,546 --> 00:42:50,864
[Ghamidi] Zaawia-e Ghamidi 
used to be a Program for the youth,

676
00:42:50,864 --> 00:42:54,873
when I used to go to Pakistan,
we used to have those sessions.

677
00:42:54,873 --> 00:42:59,382
And its name had been given
Zaawia-e Ghamidi by that organization.

678
00:42:59,382 --> 00:43:03,150
Now if I ever go back
Insha Allah ul Aziz,

679
00:43:03,150 --> 00:43:06,415
as presently all travelling
is restricted due to Covid,

680
00:43:06,415 --> 00:43:09,270
then it is hoped that
we shall meet them again

681
00:43:09,270 --> 00:43:12,594
and hopefully, some more 
discussions would be communicated

682
00:43:12,594 --> 00:43:16,292
likewise by them. It wasn't
any specific program of mine.

683
00:43:16,292 --> 00:43:21,821
Please repeat the
first part of your question?

684
00:43:21,821 --> 00:43:28,288
[Osama Ahmed] Sir, the original Scripture
of the Quran is not available.

685
00:43:28,288 --> 00:43:32,113
Then are the Psalms, Torah, and 
the Bible

686
00:43:32,113 --> 00:43:34,418
do they exist in their
original Scripture,

687
00:43:34,418 --> 00:43:35,621
i.e. which was written

688
00:43:35,621 --> 00:43:37,317
at the time when 
Hazrat Musa had come.

689
00:43:37,317 --> 00:43:39,636
Is there any such 
Scripture available?

690
00:43:39,636 --> 00:43:43,989
Or these too, are communicated to us 
through the process of Ijma and Tawatur?

691
00:43:43,989 --> 00:43:48,033
as the extent to which I understand, 
the Christians and the Jews

692
00:43:48,033 --> 00:43:51,514
do not memorize
them as the Muslims do?

693
00:43:51,514 --> 00:43:54,965
So if this isn't the possibility,
how then these Scriptures

694
00:43:54,965 --> 00:43:59,295
are available in their pure form
apart from the historical records,

695
00:43:59,295 --> 00:44:03,128
which according to you
have gone through changes? Sir.

696
00:44:03,128 --> 00:44:06,776
[Ghamidi] The history that
is available to us,

697
00:44:06,776 --> 00:44:10,271
we can form opinions
based upon them.

698
00:44:10,271 --> 00:44:13,630
The words in which 
the Quran was revealed,

699
00:44:13,630 --> 00:44:18,344
exactly in the same 
arrangement as given by Allah,

700
00:44:18,344 --> 00:44:23,051
people memorized it, and the 
people started to write it as well.

701
00:44:23,051 --> 00:44:27,128
The Prophet (pbuh) came 
to this world in the light of history.

702
00:44:27,128 --> 00:44:33,704
The people all around 
were aware that a Prophet of Allah

703
00:44:33,704 --> 00:44:38,724
has established a Sultanate,
after him, that Sultanate extended

704
00:44:38,724 --> 00:44:41,911
its boundaries to a large
part of the world,

705
00:44:41,911 --> 00:44:46,037
and then its continuity 
and succession had maintained.

706
00:44:46,037 --> 00:44:48,316
So the situation here is this.

707
00:44:48,316 --> 00:44:52,173
While to the extent 
the Bani Israel are concerned,

708
00:44:52,173 --> 00:44:57,226
they had secured their history through
writing their records and books.

709
00:44:57,226 --> 00:44:59,969
And all of those are present
in the collection of the Bible.

710
00:44:59,969 --> 00:45:02,517
We may refer to them. 
However, their original language

711
00:45:02,517 --> 00:45:06,025
or which we call as original Script, 
regarding them,

712
00:45:06,025 --> 00:45:11,383
the researchers put 
forth their opinions,

713
00:45:11,383 --> 00:45:15,248
if we wish to study them 
in brief then go through

714
00:45:15,248 --> 00:45:19,234
the chapter of 'Iman on Books' 
in my book Meezan.

715
00:45:19,234 --> 00:45:23,285
There I have stated these points. 
We do not have them

716
00:45:23,285 --> 00:45:28,429
in their original form. 
albeit this is quite clear that

717
00:45:28,429 --> 00:45:32,812
they had been scripted 
and transmitted from

718
00:45:32,812 --> 00:45:34,186
generation to generation
in the same way,

719
00:45:34,186 --> 00:45:35,499
as the Quran has transmitted.

720
00:45:35,499 --> 00:45:39,839
i.e. the way implies that as it
gets transmitted now by writing them.

721
00:45:39,839 --> 00:45:43,749
This is what we see
in the collection of the Bible.

722
00:45:43,749 --> 00:45:47,554
Their original texts became
extinct in some period,

723
00:45:47,554 --> 00:45:51,370
And now their translations exist.

724
00:45:51,370 --> 00:45:55,015
These are the translations
that we see now.

725
00:45:55,015 --> 00:45:59,400
In English, and in Hebrew, and in Greek
as well, all these are the translations.

726
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,136
Like the translation of the Quran 
started being done in the very beginning,

727
00:46:03,136 --> 00:46:06,030
and in a lot many languages 
the translations are available,

728
00:46:06,030 --> 00:46:08,513
hence there too, the
translations are there.

729
00:46:08,513 --> 00:46:10,532
When the translations 
come to us,

730
00:46:10,532 --> 00:46:12,809
and the whereabouts of the
original scripts

731
00:46:12,809 --> 00:46:15,670
when we go into history 
we come to know,

732
00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:22,106
that with Syedna Isa A.S. it happened
that he could not even arrange that.

733
00:46:22,106 --> 00:46:26,802
i.e. the people had just begun to start
writing it based upon oral learnings,

734
00:46:26,802 --> 00:46:31,677
and the stage of arranging was not 
reached

735
00:46:31,677 --> 00:46:35,051
like the Quran was arranged 
by the Prophet (pbuh)

736
00:46:35,051 --> 00:46:38,579
in the last two years in 
accordance to the Guidance of Allah.

737
00:46:38,579 --> 00:46:41,938
And then the Qiraat took
place of Arz-e Akhiraa,

738
00:46:41,938 --> 00:46:44,669
and then it was handed 
over to a Sultanate,

739
00:46:44,669 --> 00:46:47,852
which would take care of the work
of publishing it across the world.

740
00:46:47,852 --> 00:46:51,983
All this never happened there,

741
00:46:51,983 --> 00:46:53,845
so his apostles transmitted
those narrations in two's and four's

742
00:46:53,845 --> 00:46:57,876
and then the people 
of the later times,

743
00:46:57,876 --> 00:46:59,254
in the methodology 
of writing Seerah,

744
00:46:59,254 --> 00:47:01,674
like the Hadees are written 
among us, wrote in that manner.

745
00:47:01,674 --> 00:47:06,305
The tragedy with Torah has been 
that twice its pages

746
00:47:06,305 --> 00:47:11,407
were destructed into smithereens.
People took it away,

747
00:47:11,407 --> 00:47:13,987
the Bani Israel was
made into slaves.

748
00:47:13,987 --> 00:47:16,446
There had been subjected
to great misery,

749
00:47:16,446 --> 00:47:18,721
its mention is there 
in Surah Bani Israel,

750
00:47:18,721 --> 00:47:22,661
so obviously when all these 
stages have occurred in their history.

751
00:47:22,661 --> 00:47:25,582
and the age also is generally 
pre-historic,

752
00:47:25,582 --> 00:47:29,720
now this is to be asked
from them,

753
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:33,359
presently, we do not have any 
original text at the international level.

754
00:47:33,359 --> 00:47:36,869
They also do not claim this.
All these are just translations.

755
00:47:36,869 --> 00:47:40,934
[Faisal] Thank you 
very much, Sir.

756
00:47:40,934 --> 00:47:44,946
We move ahead, 
the next question is from Asdar Sahab,

757
00:47:44,946 --> 00:47:48,936
Asdar Sahab I am
unmuting your Mic.,

758
00:47:48,936 --> 00:47:49,617
you may ask your question.

759
00:47:49,617 --> 00:47:56,746
[Asdar] Salam Alaikum, 
my question is

760
00:47:56,746 --> 00:48:00,127
before adopting a 
physical existence,

761
00:48:00,127 --> 00:48:03,948
does the spirit has any 
gender or when it enters a body,

762
00:48:03,948 --> 00:48:07,825
accordingly, it adopts a gender. 
i.e. when the spirit enters a body,

763
00:48:07,825 --> 00:48:11,013
in the body, it grows and
gets mature and strong.

764
00:48:11,013 --> 00:48:17,479
And if it is so, then does this 
process stop after death,

765
00:48:17,479 --> 00:48:24,036
i.e. when a minor dies, so that 
spirit remains a minor forever?

766
00:48:24,036 --> 00:48:27,668
And the second thing is, 
as it is possible nowadays

767
00:48:27,668 --> 00:48:31,810
if someone changes his/her sex, then
what effect will it have on the spirit?

768
00:48:31,810 --> 00:48:32,569
Thank you.

769
00:48:32,569 --> 00:48:36,148
[Ghamidi] The information that 
we human beings have till now,

770
00:48:36,148 --> 00:48:39,215
we guess from it that
attributes of feminity

771
00:48:39,215 --> 00:48:45,492
or masculinity is in the personality, y
ou call it spirit or soul,

772
00:48:45,492 --> 00:48:49,987
whatever we like, its expression
takes place in the body

773
00:48:49,987 --> 00:48:52,477
and the matter of 
changing the sex is similar,

774
00:48:52,477 --> 00:48:54,975
i.e. the body is not compatible,

775
00:48:54,975 --> 00:48:59,786
and at times through a surgical procedure
that compatibility is developed.

776
00:48:59,786 --> 00:49:04,236
That the real personality
as it is apparent

777
00:49:04,236 --> 00:49:08,649
from the psychological as well 
as from the scientific studies.

778
00:49:08,649 --> 00:49:13,192
As nothing has been said from 
Allah (swt) in this regard,

779
00:49:13,192 --> 00:49:15,841
hence nothing can
be said with finality.

780
00:49:15,841 --> 00:49:19,636
However, from the studies 
that we do or experience

781
00:49:19,636 --> 00:49:22,862
from it is apparent that
all these attributes

782
00:49:22,862 --> 00:49:26,474
and the awareness is 
found in the personality itself.

783
00:49:26,474 --> 00:49:28,933
The body is 
awarded accordingly.

784
00:49:28,933 --> 00:49:32,218
[Faisal] Thank you, Sir.

785
00:49:32,218 --> 00:49:35,644
The next question we have
is from Abdullah Rihan.

786
00:49:35,644 --> 00:49:39,183
Abdullah Rihan Sahab
your Mic. is unmuted,

787
00:49:39,183 --> 00:49:40,568
please go ahead 
with your question.

788
00:49:40,568 --> 00:49:43,063
[Abdullah Rihan] Salam Alaikum

789
00:49:43,063 --> 00:49:46,972
My question pertains
to the application

790
00:49:46,972 --> 00:49:49,892
of the communication for
Itmam-e Hujjat (The Final Argument).

791
00:49:49,892 --> 00:49:52,008
That when the followers 
of Syedna Isa A.S.

792
00:49:52,008 --> 00:49:55,085
were given supremacy over 
those who had not accepted him,

793
00:49:55,085 --> 00:50:00,770
then for those Jews on whom 
Syedna Isa A.S.himself

794
00:50:00,770 --> 00:50:02,730
had not completed 
the Final Argument,

795
00:50:02,730 --> 00:50:07,545
why the application of the punishment
of Allah (swt) continues on them?

796
00:50:07,545 --> 00:50:13,499
[Ghamidi] The first basic point should 
be understood that

797
00:50:13,499 --> 00:50:17,749
the Itmam-e Hujjat done by 
Syedna Isa A.S.

798
00:50:17,749 --> 00:50:23,990
as a consequence of it,
two things were decided in the law.

799
00:50:23,990 --> 00:50:27,462
For all the Prophets, 
these two points are fixed.

800
00:50:27,462 --> 00:50:30,621
One is, that the people with
Iman would get Salvation,

801
00:50:30,621 --> 00:50:35,536
i.e. the Prophet (pbuh) and his 
Companions will achieve Salvation.

802
00:50:35,536 --> 00:50:39,115
"Nunjil Mumineen". The 
Quran delivers it in this manner.

803
00:50:39,115 --> 00:50:44,060
And those people who are deniers,
on them, the Torment will be rained.

804
00:50:44,060 --> 00:50:48,794
Regarding the Prophet, 
the Law has been decreed that

805
00:50:48,794 --> 00:50:52,733
the execution of the Judgement
can be in both forms,

806
00:50:52,733 --> 00:50:55,390
i.e. in the presence of 
the Prophet (pbuh)

807
00:50:55,390 --> 00:50:58,291
and after the death of the Prophet.
i.e. he is taken out and following it.

808
00:50:58,291 --> 00:51:04,497
The Quran has worded this too.

809
00:51:04,497 --> 00:51:09,142
"Imma Nuriyannaka Ba'azal Lazee 
Naaiduhum Au Natawaffi Annak"

810
00:51:09,142 --> 00:51:12,505
i.e. either I will send this 
in your presence or

811
00:51:12,505 --> 00:51:16,479
I will award you death and post 
it, they will be taken care of.

812
00:51:16,479 --> 00:51:18,493
There are just 
two punishments.

813
00:51:18,493 --> 00:51:21,425
either Capital punishment or 
the punishment of Subordination.

814
00:51:21,425 --> 00:51:25,175
Hence the Bani Israel were given
the punishment of Subordination,

815
00:51:25,175 --> 00:51:28,574
i.e. those people who
had denied Isa A.S.

816
00:51:28,574 --> 00:51:33,760
And this punishment was meted out to them
in the form of the attack of the Romans.

817
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:39,013
They were left totally asunder, and
their complete status had ended.

818
00:51:39,013 --> 00:51:45,420
They were ousted from the 
which position they had been enjoying.

819
00:51:45,420 --> 00:51:47,849
Initially, this subordination
was of the nature that

820
00:51:47,849 --> 00:51:50,678
on half of the part 
things were in their control,

821
00:51:50,678 --> 00:51:52,846
however, everything was ended,

822
00:51:52,846 --> 00:51:56,095
very severe punishment was meted
to them in 70 C.E.

823
00:51:56,095 --> 00:52:01,330
and as far as we know,
Syedna Isa A.S. had lived up to 50 years

824
00:52:01,330 --> 00:52:03,672
As we come to know 
from the Bible,

825
00:52:03,672 --> 00:52:09,194
then within 10 -20 years of
his ascent from the world

826
00:52:09,194 --> 00:52:11,097
this severe punishment 
was given to them.

827
00:52:11,097 --> 00:52:14,512
This is the other aspect of it.
i.e. who is Bani Israel?

828
00:52:14,512 --> 00:52:20,513
Bani Israel was the 
chosen nation of Allah.

829
00:52:20,513 --> 00:52:25,341
Bani Israel is not the nation 
of Aad or Samud,

830
00:52:25,341 --> 00:52:29,669
when they denied accepting 
Hazrat Isa, i.e. Bani Israel,

831
00:52:29,669 --> 00:52:34,495
then for themselves, there has been 
a law decreed which exists in the Torah,

832
00:52:34,495 --> 00:52:39,391
according to it the whole nation 
has been punished till Qiyamah,

833
00:52:39,391 --> 00:52:42,947
if they wish to come 
out of that damnation,

834
00:52:42,947 --> 00:52:47,727
then the moment every Jew 
reaches the age of maturity,

835
00:52:47,727 --> 00:52:52,353
if he attends to the injustice
and rebellion of the past,

836
00:52:52,353 --> 00:52:56,783
then he/she would come out of it. 
This is the Decree of Allah (swt).

837
00:52:56,783 --> 00:53:01,631
When the nations are punished,
it is done in likewise manner.

838
00:53:01,631 --> 00:53:03,428
The people who will be 
born in that nation,

839
00:53:03,428 --> 00:53:05,460
when they will reach
the age of maturity,

840
00:53:05,460 --> 00:53:09,112
they have to adopt means 
to ward off that punishment.

841
00:53:09,112 --> 00:53:11,505
Otherwise, that would
be continuously be given

842
00:53:11,505 --> 00:53:12,657
from generation to generation.

843
00:53:12,657 --> 00:53:14,541
[Abdullah Rihan] Thank you.

844
00:53:14,541 --> 00:53:17,404
[Faisal] The next question is 
of Abdur Rahman Mughal Sahab,

845
00:53:17,404 --> 00:53:21,926
Abdur Rahman Sahab 
your Mic. is being unmuted,

846
00:53:21,926 --> 00:53:23,485
you may ask your question.

847
00:53:23,485 --> 00:53:32,057
[Abdur Rahman]
As Salam Alaikum.

848
00:53:32,057 --> 00:53:32,883
[Faisal] Wa Alaikum As Salam

849
00:53:32,883 --> 00:53:37,026
[Abdur Rahman] The question was that 
I have understood this from your lectures

850
00:53:37,026 --> 00:53:39,847
like in Surah Sajda you said that

851
00:53:39,847 --> 00:53:43,559
the animal existence of the
human beings came into existence.

852
00:53:43,559 --> 00:53:48,046
That chain continued 
and after that Hazrat Adam

853
00:53:48,046 --> 00:53:51,354
was chosen and the soul 
of a human was blown into him.

854
00:53:51,354 --> 00:53:56,006
Hence the question here was that
in another place in Surah Aal-e Imran,

855
00:53:56,006 --> 00:53:59,422
Allah (swt) said that
the example of the Creation of Isa A.S.

856
00:53:59,422 --> 00:54:02,304
is the same as that of Adam A.S.

857
00:54:02,304 --> 00:54:05,940
Hence isn't there an apparent 
contradiction, please tell me about it?

858
00:54:05,940 --> 00:54:09,895
The second is that you said that 
Adam A.S. wasn't ousted from Jannah,

859
00:54:09,895 --> 00:54:12,257
it would perhaps be 
a garden in this world.

860
00:54:12,257 --> 00:54:15,755
So you haven't written 
any proper detail of it,

861
00:54:15,755 --> 00:54:16,952
so please elaborate upon it?

862
00:54:16,952 --> 00:54:20,849
[Ghamidi] i.e. what is the reason to 
consider it a garden of Paradise?

863
00:54:20,849 --> 00:54:26,304
When Allah (swt) is telling that the
heart was made ready inside the Earth.

864
00:54:26,304 --> 00:54:27,998
He passed through 
so and so stages.

865
00:54:27,998 --> 00:54:31,990
"After that, I gave birth to you here".
In another place is described in detail

866
00:54:31,990 --> 00:54:35,905
that "I unearthed you from this 
soil and into it you will go".

867
00:54:35,905 --> 00:54:38,606
"From here only you 
will have risen in Qiyamah".

868
00:54:38,606 --> 00:54:42,162
Then which Paradise? 
Paradise is yet to come into existence.

869
00:54:42,162 --> 00:54:44,865
regarding Jannah,
Allah (swt) has stated that

870
00:54:44,865 --> 00:54:49,243
after the destruction of this world,
the material that is scattered all around,

871
00:54:49,243 --> 00:54:54,010
the material that you see, will be 
accumulated to form Jannah.

872
00:54:54,010 --> 00:54:55,230
Hence there is no reason at all 
to consider that Jannah

873
00:54:55,230 --> 00:54:57,689
as the Jannah which 
human beings would be given.

874
00:54:57,689 --> 00:55:05,242
The word of Jannah
in the Arabic language

875
00:55:05,242 --> 00:55:07,581
and in the Quran,
in multiple places,

876
00:55:07,581 --> 00:55:09,553
has been used for the garden.

877
00:55:09,553 --> 00:55:12,993
Hence it is used even for that Jannah
and there too it means the Garden.

878
00:55:12,993 --> 00:55:16,026
Gardens have been termed. 
So this justification

879
00:55:16,026 --> 00:55:20,535
should be given by those 
people who consider him

880
00:55:20,535 --> 00:55:23,452
to be in some Heavenly Paradise

881
00:55:23,452 --> 00:55:27,198
otherwise, in multiple places
in the Quran it has been explained

882
00:55:27,198 --> 00:55:30,065
that he was born in this world, 
here only the soul was blown,

883
00:55:30,065 --> 00:55:32,000
and all the matters 
occurred here.

884
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,641
And the picture that has 
been drawn in Surah Taha,

885
00:55:36,641 --> 00:55:39,072
clearly tells that it was 
a place in this world,

886
00:55:39,072 --> 00:55:41,873
and it would be such 
a place where the human being

887
00:55:41,873 --> 00:55:45,391
can initiate his life, 
since the human intellect

888
00:55:45,391 --> 00:55:48,143
and awareness has 
to take effect gradually.

889
00:55:48,143 --> 00:55:52,282
And after that the inventions
would take place,

890
00:55:52,282 --> 00:55:55,438
dresses would be worn, and 
then the facilities would develop.

891
00:55:55,438 --> 00:55:58,437
Hence it should have been 
any such region where those

892
00:55:58,437 --> 00:56:01,745
things are provided for which
have been stated in Surah Taha,

893
00:56:01,745 --> 00:56:06,674
"Annaka La Tajua Fiha Wala Tara 
Wala Tazmau Fiha Wala Tazha".

894
00:56:06,674 --> 00:56:11,068
i.e. there would be such weather which
would be absolutely moderate,

895
00:56:11,068 --> 00:56:14,135
neither the thirst will disturb nor
the sun would shine beastly,

896
00:56:14,135 --> 00:56:16,907
the different foods would
be available,

897
00:56:16,907 --> 00:56:19,321
and the beginning obviously 
would be with fruits,

898
00:56:19,321 --> 00:56:22,859
or in later periods the human beings 
would be hunting the animals.

899
00:56:22,859 --> 00:56:25,826
So that is the picture which
I fit this into to see.

900
00:56:25,826 --> 00:56:29,686
According to me, the justifications
should be given by the people

901
00:56:29,686 --> 00:56:31,691
who as they saw 
the word Jannah,

902
00:56:31,691 --> 00:56:34,386
and in spite of seeing that 
this word has been used

903
00:56:34,386 --> 00:56:37,028
in multiple places in 
the Quran for the garden.

904
00:56:37,028 --> 00:56:40,447
For Jannah, the garden 
has been lifted and used.

905
00:56:40,447 --> 00:56:44,517
It is not that this word's 
original meaning is Jannah.

906
00:56:44,517 --> 00:56:48,202
For Jannah, the specific words 
that are used are different.

907
00:56:48,202 --> 00:56:51,289
And they haven't been used here.
Hence according to me,

908
00:56:51,289 --> 00:56:55,366
this is it's the appropriate 
explanation and this is quite justified.

909
00:56:55,366 --> 00:56:59,777
Regarding the first part of your 
question I would like to state that

910
00:56:59,777 --> 00:57:02,012
the point made there 
is this human being

911
00:57:02,012 --> 00:57:06,512
that had started from Adam A.S.
how had it come into existence?

912
00:57:06,512 --> 00:57:09,816
i.e. was it the father 
and mother in the beginning?

913
00:57:09,816 --> 00:57:14,145
Hence the whole process
has been indicated that I had from soil,

914
00:57:14,145 --> 00:57:18,100
"Khalaqa Hium Min Turab", I had
started its Creation from Soil,

915
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:21,432
And note how I took him through
different stages for giving him birth,

916
00:57:21,432 --> 00:57:26,726
so if this was easy for me, how come
it was difficult to give birth to Isa.

917
00:57:26,726 --> 00:57:29,942
Hence, according to me, this
is what is implied by that allegory.

918
00:57:29,942 --> 00:57:32,835
[Faisal] Thank you very much, Sir.

919
00:57:32,835 --> 00:57:36,736
We go on to the next question, 
the next question is from

920
00:57:36,736 --> 00:57:37,882
Shakir Muhammad Sahab.

921
00:57:37,882 --> 00:57:40,100
Shakir Sahab your Mic. is being
unmuted, you may ask your question.

922
00:57:40,100 --> 00:57:44,016
[Shakir Muhammad] AsSalam 
Alaikum, Ghamidi Sahab.

923
00:57:44,016 --> 00:57:47,807
my question is in relation
to the Shariah of Allah.

924
00:57:47,807 --> 00:57:54,583
like it is said that the Shariah of Allah
keeps changing with every Prophet,

925
00:57:54,583 --> 00:58:01,021
so along with it, the example
is given like the way Musa A.S.

926
00:58:01,021 --> 00:58:03,752
married to two sisters
simultaneously,

927
00:58:03,752 --> 00:58:07,997
and with the prophethood 
of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh)

928
00:58:07,997 --> 00:58:12,770
that possibility was Prohibited.

929
00:58:12,770 --> 00:58:16,306
Is this concept rightly understood 
as per the Shariah?

930
00:58:16,306 --> 00:58:18,824
As Salam Alaikum.
[Faisal] Wa Alaikum As Salam.

931
00:58:18,824 --> 00:58:20,866
[Ghamidi] It hasn't been said anywhere

932
00:58:20,866 --> 00:58:23,124
that with each Prophet 
the Shariah changes.

933
00:58:23,124 --> 00:58:25,046
It has been said that

934
00:58:25,046 --> 00:58:31,613
tothe nations that have been given 
the Shariah by Allah (swt)

935
00:58:31,613 --> 00:58:33,758
There are some changes that keep 
taking place with respect to

936
00:58:33,758 --> 00:58:34,756
the situation of the time
and for sake of testing.

937
00:58:34,756 --> 00:58:37,690
It is not so. You see the Shariah 
which was given to Hazrat Musa

938
00:58:37,690 --> 00:58:41,470
The Sharia that was given
to Bani Israel that

939
00:58:41,470 --> 00:58:44,228
was their Shariah for more 
or less two thousand years.

940
00:58:44,228 --> 00:58:47,929
There nobody did any change in it.
To the point, their last Prophet, Isa A.S.

941
00:58:47,929 --> 00:58:51,468
he also did not bring 
any new Shariah.

942
00:58:51,468 --> 00:58:55,038
So this point is not correct that with
each Prophet the Shariah changes.

943
00:58:55,038 --> 00:58:59,055
As far as the point that 
the Shariah of the Torah

944
00:58:59,055 --> 00:59:02,234
which, presently, is with us,
and that of the Quran

945
00:59:02,234 --> 00:59:09,001
there at least 90 to 95% complete
conformity is found between them,

946
00:59:09,001 --> 00:59:11,549
there isn't any difference,

947
00:59:11,549 --> 00:59:14,159
where there are one
or two inconformities,

948
00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:17,167
we cannot say conclusively 
that those have reached to us

949
00:59:17,167 --> 00:59:19,011
in their original form,
or those have not reached us.

950
00:59:19,011 --> 00:59:22,065
Or there has been some
change in them influenced

951
00:59:22,065 --> 00:59:26,761
by the opinions of some Fuqaha.
When we see even our own Shariah

952
00:59:26,761 --> 00:59:29,044
which has been given by the Quran
or given by the Prophet (pbuh),

953
00:59:29,044 --> 00:59:30,330
so when those have been
studied by the Fuqaha,

954
00:59:30,330 --> 00:59:32,715
a few things have entered into it,
which is quite natural in human work,

955
00:59:32,715 --> 00:59:35,559
and which are not 
a part of the Shariah.

956
00:59:35,559 --> 00:59:39,693
Perhaps such a situation should 
also be assumed for them,

957
00:59:39,693 --> 00:59:43,007
except that there was something
specific with Bani Israel

958
00:59:43,007 --> 00:59:46,476
and when something specific
for Bani Israel is there

959
00:59:46,476 --> 00:59:48,943
it has been stated 
by the Quran itself.

960
00:59:48,943 --> 00:59:52,728
It has been stated in the Quran that
they had been the chosen race of Allah,

961
00:59:52,728 --> 00:59:57,467
and being the chosen race,
like for the Prophets,

962
00:59:57,467 --> 01:00:01,779
there are some specific Commands, for them
too, there are some specific Commands.

963
01:00:01,779 --> 01:00:05,349
[Faisal] Thank you very
much Ghamidi Sahab,

964
01:00:05,349 --> 01:00:08,528
this brings us to the end of today's 
session for ASK GHAMIDI LIVE,

965
01:00:08,528 --> 01:00:13,260
Once again I express my 
regret for those

966
01:00:13,260 --> 01:00:16,086
who had registered again
but did not have their turn.

967
01:00:16,086 --> 01:00:19,710
InshaAllah it will be our
sincere endeavor that

968
01:00:19,710 --> 01:00:21,943
this chain continues further, 
and you are provided

969
01:00:21,943 --> 01:00:23,921
an opportunity to register yourselves 
in ASK GHAMIDI APP

970
01:00:23,921 --> 01:00:28,776
to meet him and have the chance
again to ask Ghamidi Sahab your questions.

971
01:00:28,776 --> 01:00:31,867
If you wish, 
you may also write your questions

972
01:00:31,867 --> 01:00:34,747
and post them on ASK GHAMIDI APP.

973
01:00:34,747 --> 01:00:39,375
We make a full effort to share
with you the relevant video

974
01:00:39,375 --> 01:00:42,703
or reference of 
a book of Ghamidi Sahab.

975
01:00:42,703 --> 01:00:47,396
The objective of ASK GHAMIDI APP
platform is that we form a community,

976
01:00:47,396 --> 01:00:57,136
and the Muslims world over 
learn and understand Deen

977
01:00:57,136 --> 01:01:01,891
and wherever possible to 
get the guidance of Ghamidi Sahab.

978
01:01:01,891 --> 01:01:05,121
All of us can enthusiastically
participate in it,

979
01:01:05,121 --> 01:01:07,522
and we may post 
whatever questions we have.

980
01:01:07,522 --> 01:01:11,344
If someone else has a 
question and we have some knowledge of it

981
01:01:11,344 --> 01:01:17,079
we may share some references
of it or share some point of ours.

982
01:01:17,079 --> 01:01:19,191
InshaAllah, I hope that this platform 
comes out to be really helpful for us.

983
01:01:19,191 --> 01:01:25,532
With this thanking all of you, 
and specially Ghamidi Sahab for his time,

984
01:01:25,532 --> 01:01:29,817
Do permit your host, InshaAllah
if we live, we shall meet again,

985
01:01:29,817 --> 01:01:31,771
take care of yourselves, 
Allah hafiz.
