[0:02]islam means submission [Music] it's not about what makes sense to you

[0:07]it's not about whether it falls within your logical framework it's about

[0:10]submitting to allah subhanahu ta'ala so many things in our jurisprudence makes

[0:13]absolutely no sense in one incident i believe it was mansoor if

[0:18]i'm not mistaken the abbasid caliph who said to him he said

[0:23]to him [Music] those performing the pilgrimage going to hajj while in

[0:30]the state of iran when they're traveling towards mecca the men are

[0:35]not allowed to cover their heads they're not allowed to carry an

[0:39]umbrella they're not allowed to sit in a car which has a

[0:41]roof unless you have absolutely no choice in which case they say

[0:43]well if you have to get into a bus or a car

[0:45]then you do so but you got a sacrifice a sheep you

[0:48]got to feed the poor if you're going to do this because

[0:51]it's haram in other words you can't do it by choice so

[0:54]then he says to the imam why is it that the pilgrims

[0:56]can't cover their heads but as soon as they step into mecca

[1:00]they can then cover their heads meaning they can carry an umbrella

[1:03]not wear a hat but they could carry an umbrella they could

[1:05]go under they could go into a house or what have you

[1:08]he said to the imam what's the difference what difference does it

[1:12]make if i'm outside of the border of mecca i can't do

[1:14]something but then as soon as i step into the border of

[1:17]mecca i can what different how is this rational what's the difference

[1:21]the imam said to him the difference is that's what the holy

[1:24]prophet said that's it end of story end of discussion that's what

[1:29]submission means that's what surrender means that's what islam means it doesn't

[1:33]make sense to you who are you who are you you think

[1:39]you have all the mental capacity in the world so many things

[1:42]you don't understand about this world so many things you don't even

[1:45]understand about your own body you have to check whether your heart

[1:50]is on the right side of your chest or the left side

[1:52]and you want to know about the celestial realms you want to

[1:57]know about the heavens and metaphysics and you want to know about

[1:59]death and what happens after [Music] who do you think you are
