A really good and short introduction to this topic would be Kevin A. Reinhart’s “Lived Islam: Colloquial Religion in a Cosmopolitan Tradition”, which clearly demonstrates how religion is always already embodied within a particular cultural context, almost akin to language
Thank you for sharing! Added to my tbr list.
Yes, but also culture is used as part of usul al-fiqh, but of these work in tandem.
Mashallah your videos and channels like this are worth more *in my opinion* than pure Gold 🤷🏾♂️😁. May Allah bless you and increase you in knowledge brother

33:36 my mother has that kind of aphasia. She'd call a fly a mouse. The night before I'd have a dream about a mouse. Sometimes if i an not careful or loose with my tongue, i end up wanting to say a word that i can tell originated from a subconcious dream view of the word i wanted to say. That is why i love reciting quran with strongest click of tajweed. Because i wont say a different word. The tajweed always flows in order like mechanical gears ⚙️.
Aphasia teaches you many lessons about life. I am sorry your mother had to deal with it.
Sub concious tree. A man was chopping a palm tree. After the police arrested him for mudering his nephew, he told the cops about drinking and then seeing a palm tree. Dream interpretation 30:38 ibn sirin has a book on it.
One of the examples of culture, in my community in the past (40 years) the culture of marrying your cousin is a good thing, although there are hadiths and narrations of imams calling for marriage to a stranger better, but they were not listened to, because marriage between relatives preserves the family’s money and makes the family preserve its property in a geographical area, so if the father dies his lands do not go to a stranger’s family or anyone learns the secrets of the profession if he owns shops, you will find that they used to recommend that their sons marry their cousins.
This culture has changed today, and people are marrying more strangers.
Both are fine by me.
Also it lead to health problems.
It's not just about the wealth, it's also about the fact that there is just no opportunity to actually meet the opposite gender. There are neither venues, nor avenues.

One of the great books to read in fiqh whether Hanafi or Shafie or Maliki or Hanbali on applications of Fiqh is:
الأشباه والنظائر في الفقه الحنفي لابن نجيم
الأشباه والنظائر في الفقه الشافعي ل جلال الدين السيوطي
النظائر في الفقه المالكي ل أبي عمران عبيد الفاسي الصنهاجي
الأشباه والنظائر في القواعد الفقهية على مذهب أحمد بن حنبل ل عمر الرفاعي
This should be read and understood by a qualified certified Islamic scholar going to become a certified Mufti (Bestower of Verdicts Fatwa)
I have studied all of these btw, as I have been studying to be a mufti for over a decade. I went to Islamic university.

It's been a long time, General
I discovered your channel today. You talked about a lot of subjects in epistemology, laws, fiqh, local customs & culture. It was fascinating. You mentioned a lot of things i thought or read in the last 20 years and many more. As a Somali in Scandinavia, born & grew in East Africa the concept "tree" was also a point. It is because whenever i think about a tree, it is that acacia tree in savannah of East Africa i see in my mind and it is that i grew with. A tree between 4m to 10m with shape of " T " or " V" or like the shape of upside down pine tree😆
I am a Norwegian-American from Minnesota, so I bet we have some things in common. We can eat lefse or malawax, kkkk.
Salaam, just a small query - when we say that every word is a social construct, how do we understand the concept of Allah teaching Adam the 'names' of all things. Does that indicate to the 'forms' of things or something else? Apologies if the question is unclear. A newbie here.
I’m not sure I understand the question. Just because words are social constructs doesn’t mean they can’t refer to concrete things “really out there.”
Aah I see. I was thinking incorrectly about what social construct entails. Jazakallah
وعلم آدم الأسماء كلها
انظر تفسير الآية عند الألوسي فأنه يذكر المعنى أسماء كل شيء بكل اللغات
Which translates as:
He taught Adam all the names
See the interpretation of the verse according to Al-Alusi, as the meaning mentions the names of everything in all languages.

Thank you for your informative video. As for the "The Islamic Secular" book do you recommend a non-muslim who is learning like me, to read it? Thanks.
Yes absolutely
The Deen is different from all societies ills.
Allah judges by intentions. Human cannot judge by intent, they have no way of knowing, so humans judge by speech, actions and behavior.
We are not supposed to judge in Islam, but rather worry about ourselves, but an Islamic judge would proceed with the evidence at hand, which is a separate topic.

40:13 some of us hear of King John of England asking for "law of muhammad", how king henry ii introduced maliki sharia into his new common law and 1178 the same year that the assize of Northampton (1176) was ratified (including cutting hand of thief) that the moon split was seen in southern england. Moon splitting I heard was a idiom meaning 'truth has arrived'. Would that mean truth can only arrive until after those asians made tribes for themselves. Such as in the case of alcohol forbidding can only happen until a community is doing salaah with a firm imam/leader that has silent salah and straightening of rows.

And if We had made it a foreign [i.e., non-Arabic] Qur’ān, they would have said, "Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?" Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure." And those who do not believe - in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a distant place.[1]

It makes sense if you know about linguistics and all the features that make Semitic languages unique. Divine Wisdom is by its very nature ineffable.
The Aramaic word for God is "Alaha" too sounds familiar?
Written without the confusing vowels it is written A-L-H ܐ ܠܗܐ (alap-lamed-he) as found in Targum or in Tanakh (Daniel, Ezra), Syriac Aramaic (Peshitta), reduced from the Arabic original (of which Aramaic is a dialect continuum as will be explained) it is written in the Arabic script 'A-L-L-H' (Aleph-Lam-Lam-Ha) add an A before the last H for vocalization.
The word God in another rendition in Hebrew ʾĕlōah is derived from a base ʾilāh, an Arabic word, written without confusing vowel it is A-L-H in the Arabic script, pronounced ilah not eloah. Hebrew dropped the glottal stop and mumbled it, aramic mumbled a little less and it became elaha. Infact both are written written A-L-H in Arabic, it is pronounced i in Arabic and not A because it is an Alef with hamza below (إ أ ) They are two different forms of Alef. And it mean "a god", it is the non definitive form of A-L-L-H, in which the Alef is without a glottal stop/hamza,(ا), but this kind of nuance is lost in the dialect continua.
infact "YHWH" itself is an Arabic word as discussed by Professor. Israel Knohl (Professor of Biblical studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) in the paper" YHWH: The Original Arabic Meaning of the Name."
jesus as his name is often misspelled due to the lack of the ayin sound in Greek, which was rendered to Iesous, coupling the nearest sound to ayin, same letter found in 'Iraq', which sounds entirely different in Arabic form 'Iran' in Arabic, with the -ous Greek suffix that Greeks typically add to their names 'HerodotOS', 'PlotinUS', 'AchelOUS' and later mumbled into a J. The yeshua rendition of Isa (his name in the Qur'an) PBUH which is purported to be the name of Jesus is KNOWN to had been taken from greek. Western Syriac also use "Isho". Western Aramaic (separate from Syriac which is a dialect of Eastern Aramaic) use "Yeshu". Western Syriac has been separate from Western Aramaic for about 1000 years. And sounds don't even match up. Syriac is a Christian liturgical language yet the four letters of the name of Jesus «ܝܫܘܥ» [ = Judeo-Babylonian Aramaic: «ישוע» ] sounds totally different in West vs East Syriac, viz. vocalized akin to Christian Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic «ܝܶܫܽܘܥ» (Yēšūʿ) in West Syriac, but pronounced more akin to Muslim Arabic Quran character name Isa in East Syriac «ܝܑܼܫܘܿܥ» (ʾĪšōʿ). The reason for this confusion is their dropping of phonemes. Only someone that has no idea what the letters are or how they sound would have a name ending in a pharyngeal fricative like the ayin, if it were to be used in a name it would have had to be in the beginning, thus the Arabic rendition is the correct one. An example in English is how the appended -d is a common error amongst the English pronouncing Gaelic names. The name Donald arose from a common English mispronunciation of the Gaelic name Donal. Just how it is with donal becoming donald and the two becoming distinct and the original being regarded as something seperate so too did Isa PBUH turn to Iesous turn to jesus and when they tried going back to the original they confused it for yeshua ( ysu is how it is actually written) for Isa PBUH ( 3'eysah )
Schlözer in his preparation for the Arabia expedition in 1781 coined the term Semitic language:
"From the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, from Mesopotamia to Arabia ruled one language, as is well known. Thus Syrians, Babylonians, Hebrews, and Arabs were one people (ein Volk). Phoenicians (Hamites) also spoke this language, which I would like to call the Semitic (die Semitische)." -Before Boas: The Genesis of Ethnography and Ethnology in the German By Han F. Vermeulen.
He was only half right though, Arabic is the only corollary to "proto-semitic", infact the whole semitic classification is nonsensical as will be shown.
"protosemetic" Alphabet (28), Arabic Alphabet (28), Latin transliteration, hebrew (22)

Merged phonemes in hebrew and aramaic:
ح, خ (h, kh) merged into only kh consonant remain
س, ش (s, sh) merged into only Shin consonant remaining
ط, ظ (ṭ/teth, ẓ) merged into only ṭ/teth consonant remaining
ص, ض (ṣ, ḍ/Tsad ) merged into only ḍ/Tsad consonant remaining
ع, غ (3'ayn, Ghayn) merged into a reducted ayin consonant remaining
ت, ث (t/taw, th) merged into only t/taw consonant remaining
The reason why the protoS alphabet here is 28 and not 29, is because the supposed extra letter is simply a س written in a different position, but it was shoehorned to obfuscated. In Arabic letter shapes are different depending on whether they are in the beginning , middle or end of a word.
As a matter of fact, all of the knowledge needed for deciphering ancient texts and their complexity was derived from the Qur'an. It was by analyzing the syntactic structure of the Qur'an that the Arabic root system was developed. This system was first attested to in Kitab Al-Ayin, the first intralanguage dictionary of its kind, which preceded the Oxford English dictionary by 800 years. It was through this development that the concept of Arabic roots was established and later co-opted into the term 'semitic root,' allowing the decipherment of ancient scripts. In essence, they quite literally copied and pasted the entirety of the Arabic root. Hebrew had been dead, as well as all the other dialects of Arabic, until being 'revived' in a Frankensteinian fashion in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The entire region spoke basically the same language, with mumbled dialect continuums spread about, and Arabic is the oldest form from which all these dialects branched off. As time passed, the language gradually became more degenerate,
Language; When one looks at the actual linguistics, one will find that many were puzzled by the opposite, that is, how the other "semetic" languages were more "evolved" than Arabic, while Arabic had archaic features, not only archaic compared to bibilical Hebrew, Ethiopic, "Aramaic" contemporary "semetic" languages, but even archaic compared to languages from ancient antiquity; Ugaritic, Akkadain. What is meant here by Archaic is not what most readers think, it is Archaic not in the sense that it is simple, but rather that it is complex (think Latin to pig Latin or Italian or Old English, which had genders and case endings to modern English), not only grammatically, but also phonetically; All the so called semitic languages are supposed to have evolved from protosemetic, the Alphabet for protosemitic is that of the so called Ancient South Arabian (which interestingly corresponds with the traditional Arabic origins account) and has 28 Phonemes. Arabic has 28 phonemes. Hebrew has 22, same as Aramaic, and other "semitic" languages. Now pause for a second and think about it, how come Arabic, a language that is supposed to have come so late has the same number of letters as a language that supposedly predates it by over a millennium (Musnad script ~1300 BCE). Not only is the glossary of phonemes more diverse than any other semitic language, but the grammar is more complex, containing more cases and retains what's linguists noted for its antiquity, broken plurals. Indeed, a linguist has once noted that if one were to take everything we know about languages and how they develop, Arabic is older than Akkadian (~2500 BCE).
And then the Qur'an appeared with the oldest possible form of the language thousands of years later. This is why the Arabs of that time were challenged to produce 10 similar verses, and they couldn't. People think it's a miracle because they couldn't do it, but I think the miracle is the language itself. They had never spoken Arabic, nor has any other language before or since had this mathematical precision. And when I say mathematical, I quite literally mean mathematical.
Now how is it that the Qur'an came thousands of years later in an alphabet that had never been recorded before, and in the highest form the language had ever taken?
The creator is neither bound by time nor space, therefore the names are uttered as they truly were, in a language that is lexically, syntactically, phonemically, and semantically older than the oldest recorded writing. In fact, that writing appears to have been a simplified version of it. Not only that, but it would be the equivalent of the greatest works of any particular language all appearing in one book, in a perfect script and in the highest form the language could ever take. It is so high in fact, that it had yet to be surpassed despite the fact that over the last millennium the collection of Arabic manuscripts when compared on word-per-word basis in Western Museums alone, when they are compared with the collected Greek and Latin manuscripts combined, the latter does not constitute 1 percent of the former as per German professor Frank Griffel, in addition all in a script that had never been recorded before. Thus, the enlightenment of mankind from barbarism and savagery began, and the age of reason and rationality was born from its study.
God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.

Sorry if I offend someone.
Jackson has been divisive, creating silos. He is obsessed with race. The greatest challenge for 21st century Muslims is race, ethno nationalism , language and to some extent other aspects of culture that may offend others
All Muslims should leave behind their baggage of race and culture and just follow the religion of the Prophet (saww) , if they are truly Muslim. One has to give up a lot. An exception can be made for new Muslims, but not learned persons like Jackson.
I vehemently disagree that he is “obsessed” with race. America is obsessed with racial colonial capitalism. Have you read the book The Racial Muslim? Europeans racialized Muslims in the Middle Ages. You can’t talk about orientalism without the racial analysis. Did you even watch my video? I’m arguing the opposite.
The religion only gets to us via culture. The Quran, as the core, was and is transmitted heart to heart through the ages because of cultural components that prioritized it. I think more beneficial and accurate, instead of saying, "leave culture and follow Islam", is "beautify your culture with Islam".
Islam is designed to govern culture 😔
How when we understand Islam through are own unconscious cultural lens? As my video meticulously demonstrates, culture is a source for Sharia. العرف شعبة أصول الفقه
