[1:18]four zero six seven one eight three seven imam hussein tv your

[1:26]gateway to karbala [Music] uh [Music] [Music] i'm sure all the viewers

[2:24]will agree with me that's one of the biggest problems we face

[2:26]in the world at the moment is the problem with intoxicants a

[2:30]problem with the world of alcohol a problem with narcotics a problem

[2:36]with the world of drugs a hundred years ago you could go

[2:39]to many countries in the world and there would be a clear

[2:41]prohibition when it came to drugs and when it came to alcohol

[2:47]but now we live in a time where countries have begun to

[2:52]re-evaluate in the name of freedom and that's why this whole idea

[2:56]of it's important to give everybody freedom who sets the boundaries for

[3:00]freedom because now when you look for example in canada or you

[3:06]look in america or you look in portugal or you look in

[3:10]uruguay and you look even within certain muslim countries there are major

[3:15]questions about the amount of alcohol abuse and drug abuse that can

[3:20]be seen within the general population a hundred years ago there would

[3:24]be prohibitions of course money plays a major role when we're looking

[3:28]at the world of alcohol and drugs because at the end of

[3:31]the day if you own a restaurant for example that's not serving

[3:36]alcohol and you already maybe have to pay more money for halal

[3:40]meat you always have to think about your profits in relation to

[3:45]your rent your profits in relation to how the business is growing

[3:49]whereas with alcohol you have certain business owners will tell you that

[3:54]they're getting a 300 400 percent markup when alcohol is there the

[4:03]human being is so addicted to alcohol that in some cases when

[4:07]the covert 19 hit us one of the main concerns was how

[4:11]am i going to get myself back in the pub for some

[4:15]people of course that's more of a social element but for some

[4:19]cultures there is no social element without a drink in the workplace

[4:24]muslims have had to adapt because they've seen that if they want

[4:29]to get promoted how am i going to get promoted if i'm

[4:31]not part of that drinking culture there are many who've been promoted

[4:35]because they're a good laugh in the pub but when you're not

[4:39]a good laugh in the pub how exactly do you get promoted

[4:42]and not everybody necessarily has that same uh iman there are some

[4:48]people who will give in and say listen bro i'm not gonna

[4:49]drink but i don't mind if there's drink all over the table

[4:53]and then there's others who are like well bro listen even if

[4:58]i have one drink the quran doesn't categorically say that alcohol is

[5:02]haram because you know there are some muslim countries in the world

[5:06]where muslims are renowned for how much they drink a person only

[5:11]has to go to pakistan and you see that pakistan sees itself

[5:16]as trying to apply quite a bit of islamic law but pakistanis

[5:19]can drink if you look for example at arabs many of them

[5:25]don't mind the weekend trip to bahrain because you can have a

[5:29]good drink there and so don't be surprised if you see a

[5:31]lot of saudi arabians on a thursday night for example going across

[5:37]the jack daniels bridge to make sure that they have a good

[5:42]time because in saudi arabia you're not going to get that and

[5:45]so when a person tries to pinpoint the fact that alcohol is

[5:49]a british problem or european problem or an american problem reality is

[5:52]that alcohol is something that can be an addiction to any human

[5:59]being and so likewise when we're looking at the problem of alcohol

[6:01]some will say yeah but there's certain muslim countries you'll never see

[6:04]alcohol i may not see a lot of it in iraq but

[6:06]there's certainly bars in certain places someone might not see it being

[6:10]sold in iran but you know when you want to hold the

[6:13]good party in north tehran you're able to get anything you want

[6:18]and so likewise when we're when we're looking at intoxicants like alcohol

[6:23]the main problem that muslims have is they're like well is there

[6:28]any ayah that ever said that you know we all want those

[6:34]clear eyes don't we almost and if we get those verses does

[6:40]that mean we'll stop not necessarily a verse can tell you and

[6:42]you still don't pray so it's not necessary but for some people

[6:47]their main argument has always been that if there was a verse

[6:49]that spoke about for example alcohol being problematic then i might take

[6:53]it more into consideration especially if there's a prohibition but what saddens

[6:59]me more than anything is when i see the rise of drugs

[7:03]in the muslim community you know i've always felt that alcohol wasn't

[7:09]that problematic although i know that there are still parts of the

[7:12]muslim community i mean within our own community of the followers of

[7:17]bait salawat allah salam i always used to find it hard to

[7:20]imagine that someone who hears about yazid and the ways of yazid

[7:24]and the drunkenness of yazid would ever be someone who would follow

[7:28]yazid's path because we always say to ourselves would you have been

[7:34]with imam hussain or would you have been with yazid if you

[7:37]were there in karbala and many of us would like to think

[7:40]we would have been with imam hussain and then you have some

[7:43]people would you believe who are shia ali and that's why this

[7:48]idea that just because we call ourselves means that we are the

[7:51]real shia there are sadness who are known for how much they

[7:59]drink but i never thought it'd get to weed marijuana and the

[8:02]world of cannabis and now i see that we have youth who

[8:05]stand outside a medullus all having a good smoke and then they

[8:13]come in and they stop actually commemorating imam al-hussein since when did

[8:21]imam al-hussein have anything to do with that lifestyle would you believe

[8:25]there are certain people who even recite poetry in honor of hussain

[8:28]al-salam or even beat their chests in honor of imam islam who

[8:31]are known to love the odd talk of marijuana of weed or

[8:37]whatever we want to call it in the world of cannabis there

[8:40]are some people let's not even put them near magilis just sit

[8:43]with their friends and chill and they're all doing it and they're

[8:47]sons of renowned families where they're fathers who have been exemplary figures

[8:53]for years with their characters now you find that this is far

[8:58]away from what was being taught and for some it's a major

[9:05]trial because every time they try and leave these addictions they find

[9:09]it difficult and then they hear the media telling them for example

[9:11]alcohol is good for your heart you hear someone tell you drugs

[9:15]medically every drug is okay if it's medicine and so when you

[9:21]hear these things you begin to think to yourself well how do

[9:25]we solve this issue does the quran actually mention these things and

[9:29]we know that the quran would have to mention such things because

[9:32]we know on the first level that when islam comes to the

[9:36]arabs if they were really jaahil then these are the symbols and

[9:39]the symptoms of jail do you agree yeah and if you want

[9:44]to see ignorance and you want to see people who unfortunately in

[9:47]some cases shaytan affects them then would you agree with me that

[9:50]these would be the symbols of the effect clearly in arabia there

[9:56]were people who were drinking the arabs used to love the drink

[10:01]and i'm not just going to say it's in arabia only listen

[10:03]you could go centuries after rasulallah lived and after the imams lived

[10:10]and you could see for example i don't know sufis like the

[10:15]calendar sophies would love a drink and would love a a good

[10:17]bit of a smoke and we find that if you go for

[10:25]example to iran you'll see that there's opium there's hashish and you

[10:29]do sometimes try and look in the traditions with rasulallah ever mentioned

[10:34]things like for example drugs and there are these traditions i know

[10:39]how reliable they are they're open to question there will come a

[10:43]time when you'll see people who consume a substance called banj they

[10:46]avoid me and i avoid them i say and another tradition about

[10:50]saluting the jews and the christians but avoiding those who smoke a

[10:55]substance called banj now what is that band what does it do

[11:00]to you and so you find that when we're looking at this

[11:03]world we're looking at a world of these things which intoxicate you

[11:10]and so when we look at the quran we're trying to have

[11:14]an understanding of these intoxicants and their effects on the community how

[11:20]do these intoxicants affect how did they get prohibited because if someone

[11:28]today asks me show me alcohol in the quran show me drugs

[11:30]in the quran what do i do and there are others who

[11:34]might sell around to you and say listen bro it's grapes it's

[11:37]apples it's plants allah says in the quran grapes are good for

[11:43]you allah created these apples fruit and veg allah created plants what's

[11:49]wrong the problem isn't the grape or the plant some might go

[11:52]as far as saying that the grape and the plant is not

[11:54]something which is nejis but it's what you do with it if

[11:58]you look in the quran and surah 16 verse 67 my dear

[12:02]brother sisters at home in surah 16 verse 67 allah mentions to

[12:07]us about the world of fruits but how i can take a

[12:13]fruit and direct its usage in that which is positive or that

[12:17]which is negative i can direct the usage of a fruit to

[12:21]make something good for the human being or to make something that

[12:26]destroys the human being today when i go into some of these

[12:27]uh fruit juice places some of the stuff they're doing is unreal

[12:32]you can walk out the shake where you've got dates mixed with

[12:36]avocado mixed with honey you know the best things one may argue

[12:39]for energy and for stamina and for strength but likewise that same

[12:44]person can say to me listen on top of this i can

[12:49]slip you something that could intoxicate in surah 16 verse 6 7

[13:18]and the grapes what can you do with them you can make

[13:23]either things which intoxicate or things which prove to be a sustenance

[13:28]for you who were the great by itself the apple by itself

[13:34]the nakhla by itself the plant by itself these are not things

[13:38]which i'm going to look at and say these are haram even

[13:41]when i look at the pig or the dog the pig and

[13:46]the dog are wonderful creations of allah we're the ones who can

[13:49]direct their usage to protecting my house in the case of the

[13:53]dog or to coming and licking my face but the dog in

[14:00]itself yes the dog might go towards the world of najasa when

[14:03]it comes to but when we're looking at the date palm or

[14:07]i'm looking at anab allah says of the fruits of depalms and

[14:16]of the grapes we say in arabic did you see that drunk

[14:28]person is it not true sakra sakara intoxication a person can use

[14:41]grapes to result in making humans intoxicated i can go to a

[14:46]town where in the fruit and veg market in the morning i

[14:50]see grapes for sale in the evening i can walk past town

[14:53]at midnight and see people wear grapes and other substances mixed with

[14:59]these whatever has been fermented how many years it's been out can

[15:03]actually intoxicate a human being where that human being can get up

[15:06]to all sorts and destroy people's lives as in would you all

[15:11]agree with me how many deaths in the roads are caused because

[15:15]of drink driving that same human being six hours earlier at work

[15:20]is looking at you in a job interview and asking you about

[15:24]your ethics in the workplace six hours later because he's now out

[15:30]of work and had a good time that has intoxicated him and

[15:33]he's killed someone in your community does that family recover the domino

[15:37]effect is what destroys the quran said that from something like anab

[15:47]you can have that you can have that which intoxicates and mind

[15:56]you grape and mint being my favorite shisha flavor doesn't intoxicate let

[16:00]me be very clear about that and make that a disclaimer or

[16:07]you could be someone who could use grapes to make grape juice

[16:10]what else can you use grapes for to make which other things

[16:13]there are many things a person can use grapes for for example

[16:18]jam there you go my ash our resident jam connoisseur this is

[16:25]a sign for people who understand you look at anyone in the

[16:30]world if they use their rationality they'll come to a conclusion that

[16:33]these things which have been given to me as a sign from

[16:37]god for my sustenance why am i using them to destroy people's

[16:42]lives why i said how many adverts do we grew up in

[16:44]we grew up seeing adverts don't drink a drive drinking not good

[16:49]for you don't drink when you're pregnant bob why are you then

[16:52]allowing this poison to be in society i know that there are

[16:57]many people who will watch this who may be non-muslims and they

[17:00]may turn around and they might say for example that look for

[17:04]us it's something that we find giving us pleasure islamic law didn't

[17:08]concern itself with the individual it concerned itself with the whole do

[17:12]you agree with me that the presence of that which intoxicates has

[17:17]more negative effects than it does have positive so therefore did the

[17:23]companions used to drink yes companions of rasulallah used to love the

[17:31]drink before they came towards the religion of islam did some of

[17:34]them used to drink when they became muslim yes there were some

[17:38]who used to drink as well when they became muslim what's the

[17:41]proof of this the proof can be seen in one of the

[17:45]first verses that makes it clear that intoxication means you can never

[17:50]come near or you should never come near salah while intoxicated go

[17:56]to surah 4 of the quran surah 4 verse number 43 of

[17:58]the quran my dear brothers and sisters at home in surah 4

[18:03]verse number 43 of the quran allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tries to

[18:06]provide a guidance to the nation muslim community in its formative period

[18:12]by saying to us that there are some of them who still

[18:15]drink alcohol before they begin what before they begin their salah because

[18:24]there are two types of meanings possibly to this ayah in surah

[18:28]4 verse number 43 of the quran surah 4 verse 43 of

[18:35]the quran there are two meanings to this all you who believe

[18:44]do not approach salah while you are in the state of intoxication

[18:49]oh you who believe surah 4 verse 43 all you who claim

[18:55]to have belief do not approach salah while you are intoxicated and

[19:07]so until you know what you have said this ayah what does

[19:12]it show me it shows me on the first level that there

[19:15]were people who were muslims in the time of rasulallah who approached

[19:22]salah while they were intoxicated so when the quran says it's referring

[19:30]to the isn't it oh you who claim to believe it's not

[19:34]saying [Applause] do not approach salah while you are intoxicated some ulama

[19:51]said what does this mean some ulama said this verse meant that

[19:57]if you're drunk don't go near the mosque it's not that they

[20:05]would go and pray drunk it's that they may have been drunk

[20:10]and if you're drunk you shouldn't go and enter the mosque most

[20:13]of the uh say that no there were companions who had had

[20:17]a bit of a drink and then they went towards what they

[20:20]went towards salah intoxicated and so therefore the quran came and said

[20:26]at the beginning and i if you've noticed in my tafasir in

[20:28]the last few weeks i've shown how allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't

[20:34]expect you in one day to completely become religious you know sometimes

[20:41]you look at somebody and you expect them that in one day

[20:45]they're gonna stop drinking alcohol and one day they're just gonna wear

[20:49]hijab people develop at different times yes there are certain people who

[20:53]masha allah they can do a 180.

[20:56]there are others who do a 179 there are others who do

[21:00]a 65.

[21:00]by the way have you ever heard this in our communities someone

[21:02]says bro this guy done a 360.

[21:04]360 doesn't make any sense because that just means that he just

[21:08]came back to exactly the same place he is true bro the

[21:10]guy danny what did you do at 360.

[21:13]i said what do you mean he does 360.

[21:16]he got completely changed i'm not about bro 360 means that he's

[21:18]just the same guy what it should be is that the the

[21:22]guy dino 180 180 what does a person doing a 180 mean

[21:27]it means that this person going from there in the for example

[21:31]east they've gone west east they were the soldier of shaytan now

[21:37]they're the soldier of allah so you have allah i have a

[21:46]friend of mine in the community who does this in muharram they

[21:50]don't drink and in shahada well they probably can't drink but in

[21:54]muharram they don't drink you say bro why don't you drink a

[21:55]muharram it goes bro respect what imam was saying um and so

[22:00]firstly how about god and secondly how about the other 355 days

[22:05]of the year did god just go to sleep the other 355

[22:08]and justin muharram he woke up because there are people who are

[22:11]like bro you know what i listen to music the whole year

[22:12]except muharram first 10 nights we don't listen to music why do

[22:16]you need to go from one extreme to another just relax religion

[22:20]doesn't tell you go one extreme to another firstly if it's vulgar

[22:23]music you're listening to full of rudeness and so on and so

[22:26]forth then you shouldn't be listening to it the whole year anyway

[22:30]yes you're saying i'm doing it out of respect for imam al-hussein

[22:34]first you do have respect for allah and secondly muharram isn't appeared

[22:40]some families went too extreme with their children in muharram and no

[22:43]tv for two months and eight days why i want to watch

[22:53]football football's not haram i want to watch uh news news okay

[23:00]you want to empathize with that it's good on you but don't

[23:05]make it a law it's not a law i know people who

[23:10]got so morally great from these things i know people who completely

[23:14]left religion because they're like for two months and eight days and

[23:16]you know what they make them do they make their daughters in

[23:18]those two months and eight days watch for example tv and if

[23:23]there's a matches they put on hijab why you point on hijab

[23:25]when there's a message on tv if you're gonna go outside of

[23:30]the house and you're gonna take off that hijab so what was

[23:34]the point of the hijab when there's a medless but once again

[23:37]what god tries to do is he tries to also tell us

[23:40]that trying to understand people's development with these things differs some of

[23:46]these companions as soon as this verse is revealed for example some

[23:51]of them have already left alcohol out of respect of rasulallah or

[23:54]others because they you don't need god to tell you that alcohol

[23:57]is not good for you you know i don't need god in

[24:01]my life really to tell me that alcohol's not good for me

[24:03]what god helps me with is making sure that i observe that

[24:05]i don't drink otherwise there are many human beings who don't believe

[24:08]in god but may stay away from al said for example if

[24:11]i look at liverpool football club honestly i see for example james

[24:16]milner james milner's never drunk in his life and he's the vice

[24:19]captain of liverpool football and you know when it comes to celebrations

[24:21]okay i've saved your money and muhammad don't drink okay but james

[24:27]milner yorkshire lad why would he be having a drink because he

[24:31]doesn't need to follow islam for him to realize that this may

[24:35]affect stamina health heart artery kidneys liver etc etc someone says you

[24:42]know what said no i've got to tell you i drunk last

[24:46]week so i'm not praying for 40 days i said why he

[24:47]said because they say if you drink you can't pray for 40

[24:51]days i said which nonsense said that he said oh i've always

[24:55]heard that you can't pray for 40 days if you've drunk salah

[24:58]can never stop this ayah doesn't say oh you who believe because

[25:03]you're drunk you can't pray for 40 days it just says that

[25:07]do not approach salah in a state of intoxication because then you're

[25:11]not going to know what you're saying before you know it feel

[25:20]now some people will laugh but by the way this happened this

[25:28]happened the third khalifa had a governor in kufa called walid the

[25:35]quran had revealed an eye which i discussed a couple of sessions

[25:39]ago all you who believe when a transgressor or evil person or

[25:44]sinner comes to you with news verify that news the quran revealed

[25:49]an eye about him being a faster we agree imam al-hasan told

[25:54]walibin akbar one day he said to him every ayah on iman

[25:56]is referring to my father every ayah on fist that's referring to

[26:00]you you will eat me every ayah about fisk and forsook about

[26:07]being a sinner is about you and every eye on iman's about

[26:10]my father this guy becomes governor of kofa you know what governor

[26:17]of kufa means that's like one of the most sacred huge positions

[26:21]of mahmoud afan's maternal relative you see when people say to me

[26:27]why do the shia i have a problem with for example abu

[26:33]bakr or omar or uthman what is the problem why do you

[26:41]guys not follow them or view them the way for example the

[26:45]sunni school does we say because for us there are certain decisions

[26:50]that are made that are unjust of those decisions for example abu

[26:59]bakr angering father for us that's a red line for you listen

[27:03]whatever you want to believe you can believe i'm not going to

[27:07]get in your way for me omar appointing muawiyah to be governor

[27:14]of sham really but for you that might be something acceptable for

[27:26]me uthman putting a man who the quran is called the faster

[27:33]as governor of a muslim territory when i as a shiite have

[27:38]a difference with these things it's also because my imam lashed this

[27:42]man because of his drunkenness and salah in salah this guy prayed

[27:50]fajr which is how many are my dear brothers and sisters at

[27:53]home fajr is a tour okay can we just repeat that again

[27:59]if you pray fajr for raqqa you must be drunk because half

[28:03]of us at one and a half are trying to jump back

[28:07]in bed me at fajr listen i can sit here maulana say

[28:10]it whatever this that fragile there are times half my eyes are

[28:14]closed this guy's gone to four rook ads you gotta be drunk

[28:26]don't approach salah while you are intoxicated and you know intoxication can

[28:35]affect you this harambe of course on the day of judgement there'll

[28:37]be people who will be you know they are proper they feel

[28:39]intoxicated because of what they see but here this intoxication that we

[28:45]talk about is that islam wanted you to go to salah away

[28:50]from these negis things away from that which is impure away from

[28:53]that which will make you suddenly jump soras and so on and

[28:58]so forth the next ayah was in surat al-baqarah in surah 2

[29:03]verse 219 allah made it clear for us even further but this

[29:07]time god went into a bit more of a description about why

[29:14]intoxicants are a problem now yes they ask you concerning ham what

[29:26]did we say the word for head covering was in islam what

[29:30]is the word when a lady covers her head what's the word

[29:33]when a lady covers her head when a lady covers her head

[29:41]a muslim lady covers her head what's the word well if it's

[29:44]hijab it's gonna have nothing to do with my eye i need

[29:46]you to help me with my ayah as it doesn't say yes

[29:50]it says yes what is the word for head covering your sister

[29:59]covers her head your sister covers her head your mother covers her

[30:02]head what's the word for head covering well if the word for

[30:08]head coming that means my mom's drunk so what's the word for

[30:13]head covering if you ask many muslims what's the word for when

[30:19]a lady covers their head say hijab but that doesn't help me

[30:22]in this eye says yes doesn't say anything about hijab so why

[30:25]am i using this example and that's why many muslims when they

[30:31]ask show me hijab in the quran they can't because there is

[30:35]no verse about covering your head called hijab the word for covering

[30:40]one's head is khimar hence the i and the quran says and

[30:48]let them strike their veils over their bosoms so here when the

[30:56]quran says yes they ask you oh muhammad about hamra hammer is

[31:07]that which covers one's head covers one's reasoning covers one's rationality covers

[31:17]one's senses most of us know hamr as alcohol true but any

[31:23]intoxicant that causes you to be stoned out of it angry lights

[31:37]that all falls under that category so that means that this ayah

[31:41]yes at the time in arabia they were using it to ask

[31:48]the prophet about alcohol it can also refer if someone came and

[31:51]said to him can you tell me there's this thing called cannabis

[31:56]that i smoke with my friends and we're still going to come

[32:00]to jamaha we're going to come to imaginalist we're even going to

[32:03]be our chess we're going to serve food and all these other

[32:06]things people do related to a little bait but you can't understand

[32:10]the end of the night i need this and then when i

[32:19]wake up in the morning i need it and you know what

[32:23]ya rasool allah it just calms me down i do get angry

[32:28]quickly but but it calms me down as well but i can

[32:32]really get angry but calms me and i i'm energetic sometimes but

[32:41]it does make me get lazy but i'm i'm not always lazy

[32:44]not always lazy but i can really become lazy where i just

[32:50]could sit back with my friend and we could just spend the

[32:55]day doing it not motivated to do anything because you know there's

[32:59]there's a world now of dopamines and you know like even though

[33:03]the prophet would be looking at you what do you mean dopamine

[33:07]yeah they're decreased but don't mean that i'm that lazy i'm not

[33:10]that unmotivated in the time of the prophet was alcohol when today

[33:19]someone says to me that you can't find me an i in

[33:23]the quran that doesn't allow me to smoke weed or marijuana or

[33:26]the cannabis family i say but there is an ayah that says

[33:29]they ask you concerning that which intoxicates or covers what is it

[33:35]that this thing's doing now there is a question here an interesting

[33:38]question and that interesting question is does this fall under that which

[33:44]can be called intoxicant from the musa for example something musakar can

[33:50]you say that taking drugs intoxicates you i think if you ask

[33:56]people why they're doing it they do want that feeling of being

[34:00]in a different zone why does a person drink alcohol because they're

[34:07]addicted to the taste sometimes or because also it takes all the

[34:16]bad memories away for a small period i don't want to remember

[34:19]for example work having to earn a living marriage issues possible sexual

[34:25]abuse as a child so i need things that ward that off

[34:31]and so what we find is that they ask him in surah

[34:35]2 verse 219.

[34:36]they ask him yes and what does the holy prophet reply he

[34:42]replies with something very interesting gives us the rationale behind why there's

[34:48]a problem he says what's my sir what's maeser mesa is another

[35:03]word for gambling um something which has jose is something which is

[35:15]easy in austria with hardship there will come ease why is mesa

[35:20]related to gambling someone says i know the word kumar but why

[35:24]is mesa mesa because the ease of which you acquire money without

[35:27]having to work yep ten to one i put 20 quid on

[35:33]it so something easy to get money no risk involved problematic business-wise

[35:40]these things like this cannabis marijuana it can have benefits alcohol can

[35:54]have benefits it can have what else but it has also disadvantages

[36:00]you gain more sins doing them than the advantages of them so

[36:04]if someone shows me the benefits of alcohol and drugs can you

[36:09]say that their benefits outweigh the disadvantages if we were to write

[36:14]the number of benefits of alcohol and the number of disadvantages of

[36:17]alcohol would we have more benefits or more disadvantages what would you

[36:23]say disadvantages the answer is exactly that so when someone asks you

[36:26]why is that haram look what the quran says but their sin

[36:35]is greater than their benefit i can see that something like marijuana

[36:44]people say to me there's medical marijuana yep they say that there's

[36:50]medical marijuana and medical marijuana might be something which is good for

[36:55]for example anti-seizures helping me with seizures helping me with pain relief

[36:59]because i know that even medical marijuana you may have that which

[37:04]has thc and that which has cbd and cbd because it doesn't

[37:09]intoxicate maybe that which is if you've got no other resort of

[37:13]course and it's prescribed by a doctor not by a guy with

[37:15]a surfboard in l.a because there's a guy at the beach with

[37:20]a surfboard in la and tells me i'll prescribe for you some

[37:27]weed bro that's not my doctor so i see thc and i

[37:33]see cbd and thc may be problematic although people may be discussing

[37:36]what if it's low levels and cbd i may see that there's

[37:40]oils that are made and my mother has a particular pain so

[37:44]medically these things will help but can you say to me that

[37:47]the world of drugs the most benefits are here or there are

[37:50]many disadvantages and drugs when you see those who've gone on to

[37:54]heroin what has it done to their life you see those in

[37:59]the world of the you know you said to be cocoa a

[38:02]plant you know originally these plants some all of these are okay

[38:05]baba the plants and herbs are not haram what you did with

[38:09]them you either went towards haram or you went towards halal and

[38:15]so a person out there says are you saying that in islam

[38:23]everything in the world of alcohol or drugs is haram no there

[38:25]are some people who may still use alcohol for example when it

[38:32]comes to areas such as medicine true there might be some who

[38:36]use alcohol for perfumes there may be some who use alcohol for

[38:39]cooking products but as long as it's not that which is intoxicant

[38:44]someone says this alcohol product i want to use for cooking you

[38:48]can say to the guy do you drink it can you drink

[38:51]it because bro what are you talking about if i drink i'm

[38:54]gonna you know it's not gonna say okay that might be but

[38:56]that which you're able to use for alcohol intoxicant that's why we

[39:01]can't put white wine and red wine and all of these on

[39:03]our food so what we have over here therefore yes it is

[39:14]the quran gave you a rationale it didn't just say to haram

[39:19]it said draw a list benefits of drugs uh cbd uh oil

[39:24]cbd good for the pain relief cbd good for anti-seizure cbd cbd

[39:31]cbd um but then cocaine heroin and then all of these others

[39:36]and then you look at what drugs has done to people and

[39:39]then you look at alcohol benefits but then when you look at

[39:42]the disadvantages that's what the quran was sure go to any human

[39:44]being in the world and say to them is there more advantages

[39:46]or disadvantages of alcohol being in society how many punch-ups because of

[39:53]alcohol how many sexual abuse cases because of alcohol how many people

[39:56]killed because of drink drivers how many do you find who cause

[39:58]violence because of alcohol were they beaten ladies black and blue that

[40:04]was the second verse so the first time don't process intoxicated second

[40:10]one they ask you third one surah 5 verse number 90.

[40:14]go to surah 5 swaras verse number 90 allah introduces us to

[40:19]another eye of the quran concerning intoxicants what does the [Music] we

[40:36]said in that context probably alcohol today we can still look at

[40:40]this as intoxicants and watch games of chance gambling well islam what's

[40:50]unserban islam one of them is when you you sacrifice for example

[40:59]animals and you take the blood and you put around an idol

[41:03]you get stones and you put it near the idol another one

[41:06]is you get meat and you draw lots like you bet who's

[41:13]gonna win the meat and those who win it distribute to the

[41:16]poor and those who lose have to pay for it so the

[41:19]arabs used to do these things you know wager let's have a

[41:22]wager guys tonight who's going to win the boxing let's put five

[41:24]five five five whoever whoever wins the rest have to pay for

[41:27]the pizzas that night people would do these things in arabia yes

[41:42]one of the abominations or one of the impurities of shaytan if

[41:46]something is one of them shaytaan do you think it's haram probably

[41:51]you know i said like when i hear muslims saying bro there's

[41:55]no verse in the quran that says bro when something is one

[41:58]of the impurities of shaytan that should be enough for you to

[42:02]realize yeah that could be quite wrong because mr shaytan doesn't do

[42:06]things halfway but you know what i love about these verses is

[42:10]they show you what alcohol does quran says stay away from it

[42:19]and you will be successful that liverpool midfielder is not that fit

[42:25]at 35 and strong where other players retire earlier unless he has

[42:33]learned to look after himself look after his health you'll be successful

[42:37]if you stay with uh how many great hollywood actors and actresses

[42:41]alcohol finish them i bet you can think of a couple alcohol

[42:44]rehab alcohol addict alcohol rehab yeah i only remember two who committed

[42:48]suicide one of them i forgot his name but another robin williams

[42:52]robin williams one of the best actors you'll ever come across unreal

[42:56]what alcohol did to him who was the other one i forgot

[43:01]his name um it looked a bit like boris johnson he has

[43:04]like a big blonde blonde like you know strong blonde hair um

[43:09]he was a director of films as well anyway so these guys

[43:14]as well there was there was a film i think center of

[43:18]a woman al pacino was blind and then there was a student

[43:20]al pacino's blind general looked after him anyway these examples are not

[43:25]for muslims muslims don't watch films anyway so what we have here

[43:31]is that the quran says to us that all you who believe

[43:37]these are the impurities of who the impurities of shaytan and what

[43:49]you have therefore is in the next verse verse number 91 what

[44:02]does shaytan want to do with drugs and alcohol he wants to

[44:07]cause enmity and hatred between you how many drug cartels can you

[44:11]name me in the world who just killed each other non-stop non-stop

[44:16]yeah i feel sorry there are people in south america these people

[44:20]lovers of god lovers of jesus christ how many families killed each

[44:27]other how many killed each other in new york how many killed

[44:29]each other in italy how many killed each other in other parts

[44:32]of the world that we don't even know of not the ones

[44:35]we see in documentaries and so on quran said it in shaytan

[44:47]wants intoxicants to bring animosity and enmity between you do you agree

[44:54]that intoxicants drugs and alcohol bring the biggest punch ups and killing

[44:57]between people whether it's one-on-one on a friday night or whether it's

[45:05]generally it says alhamdulillah because another thing that brings severe enmity between

[45:11]people is gambling you see you've either got the drug dealers and

[45:15]if you haven't paid them what's he doing come to your house

[45:18]done do you agree it's a world that you don't want to

[45:25]mess with but that drug dealer probably one day was a good

[45:29]guy and then wrong crowd and i guarantee you those guys before

[45:31]him good guy wrong crowd sometimes don't blame god you look at

[45:35]your crowd i could see crowds here they said to learn the

[45:39]quran i could see others know bro where are we going to

[45:41]blaze tonight that's a simple line they say to each other and

[45:44]these guys came to be lovers of hell albeit by the way

[45:48]that's the worst thing how would you face your imam and tell

[45:51]him this what i do how how how but the beauty about

[45:55]shah rahman is the month of october a person says that's it

[45:59]never again shaytan you will not affect me because you come home

[46:01]having had drugs swear at your mom curse your dad fight your

[46:07]siblings what have they done wrong to you what have they done

[46:10]wrong just because you become a crackhead you come home and you

[46:14]do that to your family what have they done wrong and so

[46:21]the quran says and what this is amazing and he keeps you

[46:35]away from remembering allah and salah you could see someone sit four

[46:44]five six hours days months say is that shaytan's aim with intoxicants

[46:57]is to keep you away from remembering allah and to keep you

[47:03]away especially from salah there is nothing there are people i know

[47:07]who stay up the whole night because of drugs no sleep don't

[47:14]even eat you expect him to do raku you think getting up

[47:18]for salah is your own doing sometimes tawfiq from allah but somebody

[47:24]who's in that world allah has shown us in the quran 1400

[47:28]years before we met colombia and italy and mexico and before we

[47:33]heard about everything else allah showed us over a thousand years ago

[47:37]shaytan what does he want to do he wants to make sure

[47:41]that he brings between you adawah and bhagwa enmity as well as

[47:49]what as well as hatred west side east side this group that

[47:52]group this click that click that gang that gank why why god

[47:57]honored you as his representative on earth you could have become higher

[48:03]than the angels you're now lower than an animal even an animal

[48:06]doesn't do what alcohol does what alcohol makes humans do even animals

[48:13]have not done and so therefore in the quran when god told

[48:20]us all of this he was trying to highlight to us that

[48:23]there are these situations which are going to occur in your own

[48:27]communities in our own communities today in the muslim world would you

[48:33]agree with me that we face a major problem with drugs and

[48:36]alcohol where people who were the last you'd expect would be the

[48:41]ones who would fall into it and that's why if you look

[48:44]in the quran allah would show us that things which are going

[48:47]to bring you to being finished or even suicide stay away from

[48:50]them if you look in surah 4 of the quran my dear

[48:55]brothers and sisters surah 4 verse number 29 of the holy quran

[48:58]you find that allah mentions the line and you ask yourself whether

[49:02]alcohol and drugs do this to you or no and the quran

[49:15]says don't kill yourself i ask you do you know people who've

[49:18]committed suicide either because of drugs or alcohol it's a shame and

[49:23]the quran says it's haram you could not kill yourself then i

[49:27]remember if i'm not mistaken surah 2 verse which in reference to

[49:36]this there are those who kill themselves and then there are those

[49:41]where allah says and don't with your own hands destroy yourself with

[49:48]your own with your own with your own hands with your own

[49:58]hands metaphorically and literally sometimes your own hand you use to destroy

[50:06]yourself sometimes you punch someone on a fight alcohol sometimes i use

[50:11]this drugs sometimes i slap someone because i'm drunk sometimes i sniff

[50:16]something drugs allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in the quran said don't use your

[50:23]own hands to destroy yourself there's a day when your hands are

[50:28]going to speak you're going to have to be able to answer

[50:33]why they did what they did and hence you find in surah

[50:39]7 verse number 33 of the holy quran allah makes it clear

[50:44]that if we agree that alcohol is this huge sin then people

[50:50]say yeah but where does allah say in the quran that's haram

[50:53]surah 7 33 what has my lord prohibited allah has prohibited the

[51:11]shameful deeds public concealed and the ism what did the other eye

[51:15]of the quran say alcohol yes so you know when someone says

[51:23]to bro in the quran it doesn't say alcohol you say why

[51:26]it says yes say okay did allah say that it's an if

[51:35]yes in surah 7 33 allah says so therefore if alcohol and

[51:46]so in the 2 verse 2 9 here allah says the it

[51:51]is haram someone asked me saying that okay in donia no alcohol

[51:54]say it now i get it no problem can we have white

[51:58]wine at least in jenna would any of you like a drink

[52:05]in jannah yeah at least you're truthful that's probably because you're fasting

[52:08]you're thirsty anyway and you're just like i need any drink at

[52:11]the moment but the question has to be asked would we want

[52:15]a drink and gender now white wine is in the quran we'll

[52:20]get in general white wine hold on a minute you'll tell me

[52:24]that i'm going to have white wine in china you get white

[52:26]wine in jannah listen we best have everything halal in jannah first

[52:30]because we haven't stayed here you know you see muslims broken you

[52:35]have haram this haram this when i get to jannah i want

[52:39]everything halal but then people are like my bro in heaven we're

[52:42]really going to be able to have a drink yes we are

[52:44]and then someone once asked me are we going to be like

[52:49]intoxicated i'm not bro why would you want to be intoxicated you

[52:51]would at least remember what's going on i'm surprised when someone said

[52:54]bro i had such a great night it was unbelievable was it

[52:58]that good yeah bro i said so what happens i can't remember

[53:01]so how was it great of course shaytan knows how to cover

[53:07]everything for you but in the quran people always ask about the

[53:09]fact that you know is there like a heaven with streams of

[53:13]alcohol why could you like literally go jack daniels budweiser bacardi breezer

[53:17]and then i'm drinking and it's interesting that all you guys when

[53:21]i mention names of drinks all know it but when i mention

[53:25]verse of quran none of you can reply back to me now

[53:26]if you look at the quran for surah 37 of the quran

[53:30]surah 37 of the quran verse number 37 what is it 45
