Brother Saajid, I have been telling my friends to stop these kinda mindset cuz is not worth at end of the day. A country needs a government. I myself come from a country that it’s own people overthrown the government for many years and until now struggling. Wallahi I was so happy when you made the video on Saudi Arabia your perspective. I felt someone finally gets it. May Allah save the world❤️❤️ Sorry my English everybody
Hiba Jama Can't you keep your ill will to your brothers and sisters to yourself at least? If you believe in the justice of such a prayer and you only want it for Allah's sake, then would you dare keep it in your heart to its fruits in the day of judgement? I promise you I do not wish you that or any ill, but I am only trying to help you realize and picture the gravity of what you just said. Please don't sister.
Tariq ibn Shihab reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, “What is the best jihad?” The Prophet said, “A word of truth in front of a tyrannical ruler.” Source: Musnad Aḥmad 18449 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Nawawi
DeenoverDunya كلمة حق a word of truth is also not inciting people to rebel, risk internecine, or fitna. The scholars also compliment this Hadith with the other hadiths that insist on unity and obeying the ruler and rule of law while being patient. Therefore, there is the respect and a proper way to consider to say the word of truth to avoid any trouble that is liable to cause more harm than any good.
@Abu How do you conclude that? You are talking about the Sahaba so quick judgements are more out of place than usual. How do you conclude that they disobeyed that?
@Abu If you are serious be patient. 1. To claim that there was a rebellion has to be proved historically. So what rebellion specifically you are referring to? Who are the Sahaba involved? 2. Historic narratives are not used to derive Ahkam. Historic narrative are debatable and justly so. Hadiths that are Sahih are what Ahkam are derived from.
@Abu These are debatable historic narratives so it is not a reference. It can make for an additional argument for a mujtahid who sees that al-khourouj is permissible. However, our reference should be al-quran and assunnah and the understanding of salaf. So the point of argument is to prove that assalaf did that, however, as said before the narratives are debatable. Moreover, if we consider the details of what is written in the historic narrative we will find that these narratives include claims that Sahaba had different opinions on the matter.
@Abu The risk these entail can lead to huge problems. Even if it is seen permissible it is only in certain very specific conditions that give guarantees that it won't cost considerable harm - this would rarely be provided. On the other hand, advice can be done properly. What we see often is challenges rather than advice. There is a big difference.
So so true brother. People are so stupid to think it's easy. And it is cowardly and fuel to the fire. Innocent people get caught and it's just bloodshed. May Allaah guide and protect us from fitnah.
@@hattorihanzo7937 that's right, but look at the muslims, most of them are far away from Islam. I know alot of muslims who have fled the current war torn places and I can say most of them are miles away from Islam. I now questioned whether they deserve what is happening to them. When I speak to them all they want is more liberal society like the west. Nothing to do with not being allowed to pray, fast, wear hijab and so on. It's more to do with wanting to be free to roam. Sorry but I agree with the brother. Also all this unnecessary deaths and damage to the country. Not wise at all. The people were better off in most of these countries and now they are suffering. I have no sympathy for them other than what a mistake to stand up against your ruler when you had some sort of stability. Now no stability. Not wise at all.
@@hattorihanzo7937 I think about the whole picture. I'm saying if you have stability don't rock the boat. I'm not saying it's great that people are dieing. I'm sure the real believers stayed and died. And inshaa Allaah their reward is with Allaah. And I'm aware how blessed I am not to be in these situation. But that doesnt mean I'm going to be fooled by the people who leave these countries for western way of life. As for muslims in the west doing haram, calling to haram will get what their hands send forward. I still dont agree with standing up to your ruler, it's not wise.
Once Hadrat Umar bin Al Khattab (R) was passing by a man in the market, who was praying that, . - "O Allah, accept us among your" few "servants, And Allah, accept us among your "few" slaves. . Omar (R) asked him, "Where did you receive such a blessing?" . The man said, "Allah says in his book, . - "And fewer of my servants express gratitude" [Surah Asa Sabah 13] . After hearing this, Umar (R) cried and rebuked himself as saying, O Omar, people are more knowledgeable and blessed than you, and Allah! Accept us among your "few" servants. . Sometimes it is like you advised one to refrain from doing a sin, then he draws the reference that, . - "But most people do that" . But if you see the word "most people" in the Quran, then most people will see • Do not know (Al-Araf: 187) • does not express gratitude (Baqarah: 243) • Do not believe [Hud: 17] . And if you see the status of "most of them" then you will see that most of them, • Disobedient [al-Maidah: 59] • Murthak [al-An'am: 111] • Turns away [al-Anbiya 24] • Do not talk [Al-Ankabut 24] and • Do not listen [al-Anfal 21] . Therefore, they become involved in "a small number of people" about whom Allah said, - And few of my servants are grateful [As-Sabah 13] But most of the people have disbelieved, except for a few [Hud: 40] They will be in Paradise filled with blessings. And among the later generations, less will be. [Waqia: 12-14] . Ibn al-Qayyum said, "Follow the path of truth and do not feel lonely at the low number of people walking in this way, and be careful not to get caught by the false path and the excess of the people walking in this way." .
@@akvabullet shame on urself that misguided u don't perceive the reality. sorry but ALMIGHTY ALLAH last message to mankind must be clarified perfectly. this doesn't mean i want disunity between shia and sunni rather to get together in one front to fight back against the enemies of Islam. ur sunni side are not active practically in Islamic trajectory
U speak the truth...in speaker's corner now-a-days this topic is so hot...not much people understand...people r missing fundamentals but love to criticize.
Again I agree with you on some of what you've said but we should keep in mind too that if we just set and accept the "reality" then we will never gonna change, yes we have to rethink and be careful about what we are saying and doing but that doesn't mean we have to stop saying the word of truth, in other words everything in some way or another is connected "corruption, injustice, wars, climate change and the list goes on" that's on us because we don't do anything about it, sometimes things need to be take care of, and sometimes we have to do anything without causing anyone harm directly or indirectly. May Allah guide us all to the truth and his straight path.
MashaaLlah, . The brother is telling the truth. Criticizing Muslim rulers, revolting against them is the methodology of the khawarij. Whereas people of Sunnah obey them in what does not disobey Allah, SWT and make dua for their rectification.
"There were 2230 passengers on the Titanic ship, while 706 people were rescued alive, 1524 passengers lost their lives in the Titanic movie, but most of the passengers died drowning in the water, but the movie hero" Jack "ice died due to zero degree of cold water, when a visitor Seeing as much as he was sad in Jack's death, he was so sad for other passengers on the ship. No. The condition of the audience is such that if all die, then survive the hero Jack. Ever asked yourself, why is that? As a man, the death of all the passengers was about to get the same sadness. But why is so ridiculous the audience of Jack Jack? Jack is a gambler, an alcoholic, a smoker, a pornographic illustrator. Overall Jack is an adulterer. Even after all, why is Jack's life worth more than the others? The answer is very simple. The producer camera only turns to "Jack and Rose". As a result, the audience thinks that the passengers are the only two passengers. But at the same time, thousands of women and children on the other side of the camera did not reach the ears of the screams and screams. As a result, visitors do not even try to understand it. Our daily life is like that In the United States, Britain and France, a little cocktail fades, the media has highlighted it for several weeks. But at the same time, hundreds of bombs are being carried out every day in Afghanistan, Waziristan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Kashmir, Myanmar and Palestine on the other side of this media. Thousands of people are being killed. Their disturbing screams burst into the sky and split the sky. Not only does our ears swell. This is the source of all the sins of the world. They taught people how much more homosexuality, animalism, and libtugaadera. They killed three hundred thousand people in Hirishima and Nagasaki. In Iraq, one million people have been killed. Their abduction is still going on in Afghanistan and Syria. After all, the West is our hero. Let the titanic drown, let thousands of passengers die. Yet, the hero Jack and the heroine alive alive.
Jazakalahu kheyr brother for this valuable advise and this has been said by the prophet and companions and scholars thanks brother keep up with the dawa and don't let these negative comments on youtube let you down
@@abuuabuu4831 we don't no his intentions and there's no evidence for that in addition to that "doubts will only disappear with certainty" and obeying the Muslim ruler is part of our religion allah said in surat al-nisa verse 59. Obey allah and his messenger and those who command you

This video was very judgmental against its audience. Accusing the audience of not praying salah, not prioritizing, etc. Judging? Accusing the people of a nation, not its leaders. Are leaders perfect human beings without flaw? Here’s a general principle: Politics nowadays=Corruption. Btw you can pray 5 times a day but if your actions and intentions against other human beings counter your deen’s practice, than what good is it. I understand in other countries you can suffer severe consequences if you criticize your leader. But if our Prophet would have never criticized the rulers, leaders of his Era on the way they were worshipping, governing, leading their lifestyle, would there have been a change for the better? This will be my last discussion. Smh.
If you can't critize a ruler. So does that mean if in Mekkah may Allah for bit they start Night clubs even then we are not suppose to critize the rule and just be a obedient servant of the rulers. I find this to be very funny but I do agree don't critize the ruler for every small things they do.
@@bluemountain19 they are humans of course and make mistakes, but killing his citizens and chopping them in embassies, using public money to be bomb other Muslim countries,, thats not a simple thing. First of all who chosed this ruler? Did the public chose this family to rule us. DID the companions abubaker,omer and Ali inherit the khilafa or they were chosed by the mases? 😊 or were they chosed by the brits and jews??? Where these fake Muslim rulers came from? Don't tell me the morrocan king is ( amir al_nomneen) for real while his homosexual and alcoholic behaviors are all in the news 😂 😂. And don't let me start with the psycho master of bone saw (MBS) 😂, that crminal can give lessons to Satan himself 😅
Here’s a general principle: You're not obeying rule of Islam,you should have hijab and pray 5 times a day..so please dont lecture us about ''clean hearts'' and ''lean towards non muslims... Btw. when you mentioned name of our Prophet s.a.w.s. you should say salavat and salaam upon him beacouse you're cursed according to hadith from Jibrail a.s. who say"who ever mention your name without call peace and blessing upon you may be curse upon him, say Amin and Prophet s.a.w.s. repeat Amin. Your picture is very non muslim,looks who is talking about Islam......
@@akvabullet u are not the one to define Islam? Do you know that one of the sahabas was alcoholic? Ya ya read about it before attacking Muslim sisters abd doing قذف المحصنات
Muslim rulers? Are we talking about the sahaba time, khulafa or those who don't rule by shariah and instead are busy forcing democracy down the throats of Muslims. Muslim ruler is a big word use it carefully

It is mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari that Abu Bakr (ra) was asked: _"How long shall we enjoy this good order (i.e. Islamic religion) which Allah has brought after the period of ignorance?" He said, "You will enjoy it as long as your Imams keep on abiding by its rules and regulations." She asked, "What are the Imams?" He said, "Were there not heads and chiefs of your nation who used to order the people and they used to obey them?" She said, "Yes." He said, "So they (i.e. the Imams) are those whom I meant."_ By blaming the common people, you imply that the people who hold immensely more power have no influence; i.e. the brutal Secular dictators who actively spread Fahisha of all kind are not conscious actors. Yes by improving yourself you can make small scale change, like positively improving your family and neighbourhood, but large scale change requires influential leaders (not only politically) Numerous Sahaba and their children/students have vocally and/or violently rebelled for much much more minor infractions than what exists today (in your words, they gambled with people's lives), so it is a question of weighting in the pros and cons The Quran and Sunnah and history are very clear that Allah will bring his punishment and destruction to nations silent to public injustice. Simply being silent and nodding along as things get progressively worse will simply increase the chance that the punishment will be more severe. Think of it like a nail getting deeper through skin; it has to be removed but removing it recklessly when it was allowed to go deep will cause problems. But to avoid Allah's punishment and not be held to account for our silence, who is able to oppose with wisdom should do so. By the way, the Saudi royal family owning media empires heavily promoting Liberalism and degenaracy for decades, and supporting Secular dictatorships, blindly following US gov. agenda have directly caused people to become less religious and more disconnected from the Ummah (thus pray less). Taking steps to solve one issue doesn't mean you have to completly forget about another. People trust and respect scholars (not getting tortured in prisons) less when they are required to be silent against things like a "halal disco". This is not analogous to most periods of Islam; scholars were not simply politically passive, they held immense power in the legislative and judisary front
I watched a lecture by a sheikh, he said that not all scholars are inheritors of the prophets, but only those like Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhaab rahimullah who not only preached from their comfort zone location, but actually went out in the public and he seeked powerful allies to bring about political as well as religious change in his society.
Salahuddeen Ayyoubi Yes, but what the comment above means is that such men of knowledge are now imprisoned. And we know of the warning against concealing knowledge. And we also know that it was narrated from Rasullah alayhi sallatu wa salam that the best form of jihad is speaking the truth in front of a tyrant. Yet wisdom has to play a great role in doing this as well as changing ourselves.
Shadow Who Walks baraku Allahu fik, I wanted to say the similar to what you said. It is over due for this Ummah to start looking in to it's so called rulers, as well as the learned scholars of our time. We must change ourselves, I think the majority of those calling out these so called leaders are already those who strict upon their Deen I.e practicing to the best of their ability, so I guess we can not reject this notion of calling out leaders in Islamic countries or speaking the Haqq because a few are not practicing well, and we mustn't reject the reality of this truth because of this small number(those not practicing well). However, all this 1st must be done with wisdom, respect of one another and the foundation of attaining this is to be brothers of Islam, loving for one another what we love for ourselves. Saudi Arabia, needs to be rectified, it's government(monarchy) a taghoot, apostates from Islam, upon nifaaq. I'm not a takfeeri but simply saw in them excactly what I read, and I'm not the only one such as scholars who are imprisoned and many learned people, even kufar can see they have no loyalty for Islam. Just because a ruler allows the practice of Islam doesn't automatically make him a Muslim. But I'm not saying it has to be rectified as a whole because the harm is greater but in factors and many other things that are un-Islamic and injustices-that is better than overthrowing it. I focused on Saudi because Arabia(Saudi) is the heart of Islam and the Ummah, because it is where the 2 sacred lands are and where we began(Qur'aan and Sunnah)and think it is the base of our victory(bcoz all Muslims respect and love this country bcoz it's the heart of Islam and dominates), so if the truth is called in there the rest around the world surely would follow except a few. But this is from the Wisdom of Allah ta'ala. but some countries, at times, circumstances etc needs to be left alone I.e Sudan, Somalia as we have seen the result of Somalia; so long as the people are not called to shirk,fahisha and refuse of practice of their Deen but if they're called to that then that has to be addressed but in a peaceful way 1st, not violence and vandalism, and causing fitna bring harm to others and else. Leaders are like parents, if they are upright then their nation is upright if they aren't then their nation is corrupt (except a few in both scenarios), like the Hadith of when the heart is corrupt the rest of the body is corrupt and if it is upright the rest of the body is upright. So we can not place All the blame on the general Muslims. We are a mess and we became a mess because of corrupt leaders and corrupt or silent scholars. We should remind them and I think in these times we should turn to the scholars and learned ones reminding them that there is a grave punishment in hiding knowledge and if they are cowards we will support them. Having said the above, in a time of weakness we must 1st fix the above saying with peace and wisdom, we have to bear in mind that the enemies want further disunity amongst the Ummah but yet we have to follow the 1st generations in how their loyalty was to Islam I,e the Shariah of Allah, not fearing non but Allah ta'ala and being as those whom Allah praised in not fearing the blame of the blamers .I have more to say but it's already been a long write. Wallahu A'lam.
‘Iyad ibn Ghanam reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever intends to advise one with authority, he should not do so publicly. Rather, he should take him by the hand and advise him in private. If he accepts the advice, all is well. If he does not accept it, he has fulfilled his duty.” Source: Musnad Aḥmad 14909 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani
Al-Muzanni reported: Al-Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Whoever admonishes his brother in private has been sincere to him and protected his reputation. Whoever admonishes him in public has humiliated him and betrayed him.” Source: Ḥilyat al-Awliyā’ 13854
We used to have conversations about what we can do to change the world. What are we doing as Muslims - Turks in this life. What is our purpose in life. We were doing some history research and some Islamic research such as Hadith and Tafsir and from different ideologies we had discussions on how we can be more powerful as Turkey and what it is that we need to do in our lives so that we can change something cause each of us felt that there is something wrong in this world we live in. We brought up different ideas and discussed what it is that we can do so we can let's say stop Russians or Americans when they invade Afghanistan or Iraq or wherever. How can we stop the West who support PKK terrorist group that has thousands of peoples' blood in its hands. Like there were clear evidences the terrorists were using some very high tech German weapons in south-east Turkey and northern Iraq. We used to talk and talk about how we can do something. We used to make dream revolutions and fight great wars and lay out very specific steps that we can take. In high school I remember having such discussions in a park or in a cafe till morning discussing these subjects. Almost after all such talks I used to reach to the conclusion that we must pray five times a day, try being on the right path and try to make people around us do the same without disrespect and violence. Most agreed to this. Cause at the end of the day everything around us happens for a reason so we can take lessons and the reason why we're alive is to be tested in this world to determine our eternal lives in the hereafter. In this test as Sajiid says first we must believe and then there's the prayer. Almost every muslim scholar says so. Therefore nothing is more important than prayer. Additionally let's be honest tweeting and shouting in the streets is not going to change much. So we need to understand unless we had serious wealth or a talent or something that seperates us from other billions of people no one cares about what we say. So the best thing we can do is to change ourselves and become better Muslims and then try to affect the people who might give a damn about what we say, like our family or our close friends. BUT in doing so we must be hopeful too! Let me end this with a word from the Quran : وَمَكَرُوا۟ وَمَكَرَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلْمَٰكِرِينَ
Brother lipham, your video is greatly appreciated. I have a couple of genuine questions here: are we free (of sin) to criticize rulers of non-muslim states? How about non-muslim states that have a Muslim or believing minority, such as China? Finally, can we criticize non-muslim rulers if such criticism can lead to violent upheaval in the non-muslim state? I appreciate what you said about keeping steadfast to prayers and ritual obligations. The priority here is not to idly critisize rulers from the comfort of our own homes, or to give in to knee-jerk reactions. But I, along with many in our ummah, are greatly saddened, and I daresay, angry, with the myriad of despotic rulers that sit as heads of state in Muslim lands . You are not the first to say that we should refrain from criticism, in fact I think your opinion here is closer to that of the scholars, but the spotlight associated with criticism has stayed the hands of many modern day tyrants. Thank you again and assalamalaikum from Canada.
The Messenger of Allah said: «أفضل الجهاد كلمة عدل عند سلطان جائر» "The best Jihad is the just word to a tyrant ruler". And He said: «سيد الشهداء حمزة بن عبد المطلب ورجل قام إلى إمام جائر فأمره ونهاه فقتله» "The master of martyrs is Hamza Ibn Abdul Mutalib and a man who stands up to a tyrant ruler and orders and forbids him (accounts him) and is killed (by the ruler)"
Saajid, remember the Muslims that were killed by a taghut king, the story of the people of the ditch in the Qur'an, Allah swt calls that faawz al-kabir (great success), they died, and it is called great success! Weep for those of us who live in comfort and are blind to the reality of the dunya and akhira.
Br ur speech is so rational and understandable....some people have corrupt heart they Don't like stable country... They just want violence... Look at Sudan now...becoming another Sirya...damm
A: The corrupt puppet regime is unstable and is going to inevitably crash and burn with the country, we are late but maybe we should do something to allivate this before is too late B: Why are you destabilizing the country!!?? It is your fault!!!!
Rulers came by removing the ruler before him. What is wrong with demanding a righteous government ? I think you come from a legacy of not being oppressed or being violated so ofcourse you are a conformist. The nation belongs to the people and so does the throne. Yes government controls even the equality of air you breathe
If you know the history of Saudi Arabia you won’t say what you just said. The kingdom was Established by unifying all the tribes under the Shariah law and they all made Baiaa (بيعة) to the king. The king didn’t remove any government or occupy anyone’s land
@@aziizgh I wasn't speaking about Saudis Arabia. Saudi people are generous and their government is none of my buisness. But he cannot come and tell people to not want to strive for better government
aziizGH, they rebelled against the khilafah. Stop try To present this as something unifying. When it helped lead to the end of the khilafah. There are legitimate arguments to be made against rebellion. If it leads to more harm. Yours is not one of them. Since it's a mischarectarization of what actually happened.
Masha Allah brother Sajid. Your videos are so beautiful I watch them twice. And you’re absolutely right. Sadly 😢 my people in Sudan thinks I’m chatting non sense when I say these verses to them -> 53. That is because Allah would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (Al-Anfaal) verse: 41. Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness]. (Al-Room). I always keep telling them that Returning to Allah is the only solution in reforming our case. Unfortunately many of them like u said don’t even pray, disbelief in some of the Hadiths or all of the Hadiths, and interpret Quran their way, and most of them are concerned and obsessed about the rulers. Except for few people who Allah has blessed. It’s sad 😔
you are so right brother its just realy sad to see some of our muslim brothers become their worst enemies may allah guide to right path and away from fitna
Saudi Arabia has a lot of mistakes, but its the most Islamic country and the most country that implements the shreaa. Its prohibited in Islam to overthrow the leader, so all of you Internet warriors get your basic Islamic understanding.
UA-cam commando, that’s my new word now lol Si true brother, if all of us were working on ourselves the Muslims wouldn’t be in this mess we’re in now, oppression, we don’t like each other ect May Allah bless and protect u and your family! Your contents are superb
May allah increase your knowledge and keep you steadfast on the right path.... well said and makes so much sense mashalah barak allah feek. True it seems like for the past few years we are so busy criticizing our muslim ruler and the muslim ummah is less concerned a about knowing and strengthening their deen. How did the muslim benefit from overthrowing their muslim leaders in countries some of the muslim arab countries. Nothing we have to think about this also
Yet another attempt to conflate criticism with rebellion. Stop with that disgusting attempt to misdirect and butcher the point some are making. It shows you either don't understand what is being discussed. Or you are intentionally misrepresenting what is being said and asked. May Allah guide us all, Ameen
@@aboutthat1440 first no need to attack or get angry. Secondly please assume good in your brother or sister. And lastly I fully understood what the brother said may allah guide us all
There isn't anger in that. If you read it that way, then I will clarify it for you. It wasn't in anger. It was in exasperation. By constantly conflating even criticism with reckless rebellion it ends up taking away from what it seems like you/he are doing. Which is To try and calm people down before they might behave in a reckless manner. I have no issues with that. In and of itself. There is Hickman in that for sure. I do have issue with not assuming the best of your brothers and sisters. Like you just posted. Like Claiming in such a general sense that anyone with criticism isn't going to the masjid to pray whenever they can. Or they just want war with no idea about the consequences. I know it turns some even further from the point he is trying to make. Simply by assuming the least. I won't say worst. Because he didn't imo. Like others have commented they hear this same speech all the time. So it begins to fall on deaf ears for some. The reason I mentioned education about the subject. Is because any subject we don't know about makes us ignorant of the subject. So when even asking questions is about khilafah for instance. Instead of treating people like annoying children. (And let's be honest it often comes across that way.) Give good information on the subject and the Minaj to implement it. Or deal with the subject matter, If you know. By not doing this. Those who you are trying to get to see your point. Only see the same ole thing. Unfortunately It comes across as dodgy. Whether that was the intent or not. Right now anyone that even looks the part can lead others astray and to a greater fitna. You can't simply say worry about yourself (in essence). Muslims tend to love Muslims. So the love for Muslims is worldwide. So of course Muslims want better for the ummah. I think it's dangerous to to leave people with nothing but the same speech. Because the subject won't go away. So Education on the subject. While Pointing out some of the pitfalls in not dealing with the subject properly and not being insulting to the questioners Islam are musts. Yes, I understand even that has pitfalls for some. That does Take away the need for my points. Again it's my opinion. not doing this only hurts. 5Pillars recently had a very good discussion on this. At least I thought so. I believe they posted the video a couple of days ago. It's about and hour plus long. I thought the brother that studied at Qura did a very good job in addressing this. Without getting dragged into the deep end. Maybe I thought it was good because made points that I have been wishing someone would make. Because those more educated need to address this in some different ways. I think. I thank you for your sincere naseeha. It is much appreciated May Allah guide us all to the straight path , Ameen
What is your view on the recent events where a number of Arab countries have forged diplomatic ties with Israel who continue to oppress our brothers in Palestine?
I'm afraid that it is impossible to practice Islam 100% without having a state that backs Islam 100%. A lot of these Islamic laws need to be implemented by a state, not individuals.
Ok but what if a Muslim currently has the freedom to practice his deen 75% but him and his community only practice 3%? I think they should focus on implementing the other 72% before they even start thinking about a revolution.
@@SaajidLipham that 25% being taken away from the muslims is the reason why they only practice 3%. Do you expect people to practice deen when the country allow drugs, prostitution, pedophilia, corruption etc on the streets? Not every companion of the prophet was like abu bakr and umar.
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah. JazakAllah Khairan for your very honest speech. I ask Allah to protect and make a land of peace and stability for Saudi and also its people to comeback to the Quran and the Sunnah of our beloved prophet Mohamed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
I'm Saudi and I love my country and my Government 🇸🇦🇸🇦 These people or speakers in foreign countries are inciting violence because they're not suffering the consequences.
I am sure Saudi Arabia is or was a better place to practice your deen, than let's say Egypt. But you should also know that Saudi Arabia was behind the coup that ousted Morsi from power, by backing the secular military dictatorship in Egypt. It reminds me of Israel, they claim to be the only democracy in the region, what they won't tell you however, is that they do their utmost best to oust "democratic" leaders in the region, because if democracy means majority rule, they can't have that, a majority of Muslims in that country will be anti-Israel and back anti-Israeli policies.
I'm really glad that Saudi Arabia is supporting the Egyptian army against Israel They love Egypt so much that they cut the oil supply for the world until Egypt Wan bake Sinai What a heroic Alliance And a true Brotherhood
We can't always stay silent and keep our priority to go the Masjid at Fajr, how about some Muslim country where you don't even have the freedom to go to the Masjid at Fajr. If they found out they you go to the Masjid every Fajr your are picked up to be questioned. So do you mean to say you have to be silent about what is happening. Now a days no Muslim country is practising Islam as it should be so just pray Allah guide us. As for Saudi Arabia they are just puppets of the US
Dude is very clear if you read between the lines: 1. God doesn't change your situation (ie, your rulers) until people change themselves. 2. Saajid is reminding people to change themselves for the better (pray, raise kids properly, etc.) because people are not practicing their faith. 3. In summary (I'll say it for you): Yes we need a change of rulers and the way to do that is to change ourselves. Great talk and nice way to keep the traditional manner of showing respect to your rulers while acknowledging that there is a problem both in the rulers and the people who are ruled.
JazakAllahu khayr brother, i noticed those muslims who always speak about those rulers are either those who not even practise and don't have any islamic knowledge, or takfiris (who are not much more knowledgeable). Also, as brother saajid stated i don't see the meaning behind always talking bad about saudi arabia although this is the best country in terms of religious freedom
There's a difference between always talking bad and valid criticism. The fact is Saudi Arabia is waging a war in Yemen that is killing millions, is imprisoning the ulema and is making deals with Israel.
The Saudi Arabian government is spreading (Tawhid ) monotheism against grave worshippers of Iran turkey and the Muslim Jewishood organization That is why they try to bring hate towards the Saudi government that is most Islamic
The Saudis also Led an Islamic coalition to free Yemen from the persian pagans which the Yemenis are at war with sense 2007 Until Saudi Arabia steps in And now the Fake Iranian accounts and M Jewishood are screaming on social media hoping to fool the western Muslims about the situation but The middle easterns are well informed of what's going on and that's you found brother Saajid is different from most fools on UA-cam because he lived 8 years of his life overseas searching for the truth ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding. Quran 39 9
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) invited the call of "La ilaha illallah", the rulers of that area were shocked, When Ibrahim A announced the declaration of "La ilaha illallah", then the emperor Namrud went on a rage, When the Prophet (peace be upon him) invited the call of "La ilaha illallah", the ruler fainted, When the Prophet (peace be upon him) invited the call of "La ilaha illallah", the elite class became disturbed, When our Messenger sent the call to "La ilaha illallah", the then leader Abu Jabal Abu Lahabi was shocked, When Sayed Qutb Rah of Egypt wrote the book of "La ilaha illallah", then the Tagut ruler became angry and hanged him in the gallows, And in our country the light of "La ilaha illallah" is jikir, but the taghut group does not say anything, That is, they do not have the same thing as their "La ilaha illallah", because "La ilaha illallah" means that no one obeys Allah's command, so if the invitation of the original "La ilaha illallah" is invoked, then those who are sitting in Allah's seat He used to be furious, imprisoned, falsified! But La ilaha illallah to please our "la ilaha illallah" tagat, so we are adulterated with la ilaha illallah, if there were no adulteration, we had to be in the same situation which had been our predecessors. So we have to learn the original "La ilaha illallah" and all the gods should be abandoned by Allah.
Bless you brother, I just wanna add this Hadith Sahih Bukhari - Book: 93 Hadith: 7142 Narrated Junada bin Abi Umaiya: We entered upon ‘Ubada bin As-Samit while he was sick. We said, “May Allah make you healthy. Will you tell us a Hadith you heard from the Prophet and by which Allah may make you benefit?” He said,“The Prophet called us and we gave him the Pledge of allegiance for Islam, and among the conditions on which he took the Pledge from us, was that we were to listen and obey (the orders) both at the time when we were active and at the time when we were tired, and at our difficult time and at our ease and to be obedient to the ruler and give him his right even if he did not give us our right, and not to fight against him unless we noticed him having open Kufr (disbelief) for which we would have a proof with us from Allah.”
Those of us who live in the West will one day feel what other Muslims go through. It’s a shame that Muslim men think like this, the way most of the men today think. It is because of the men who follow their own whims and desires that left off jihad. Now the entire Muslim lands are occupy by the enemy. The men of our ummah are cowards, not all but most. Too scared to even think about making a change. Yet we have those who will die for the dunya. So most are stuck living up kufr rule because there’s no place for us to go. Crazy.
Ok. Got your point. Well done brother. I would add muslims could critisize in proper form khulafa themselves at times, and those muslims were proper muslims themselves. Nevertheless saudi, kuwait, uae governments have racism laws in place. Discrimination is widespread. May be they are “relatively good” in their own country, but outside they are supporting groups like isis. They are killing men, women, children, elderly in Yaman? Starving them to death. As Allah’s witnesses on the earth we need to know it and talk about it.
I agree with this principle. This is also crystal clear from the teachings of Islam and from the life of the Prophet (pbuh). The fate of the nation does not change until people change. If you don't follow Islam as a nation in general then your criticisms of Rulers are most likely not going to be from an Islamic point of view. If you criticise and lets say even overthrow the government whats going to happen? Another ruler will replace the one that was overthrown and the same pattern will continue. Look at Egypt as an example. People need to change first and the way to do that is to work on the fundamentals of Islam. Once people become strong enough then change will automatically follow and no force on planet Earth will be able to stop it. Sadly I see a lot of Muslims argue over things that are very low in the list of priorities. They argue and create division over it yet they are not interested in even the basics of Islam. This to me just proves their arguments and differences are based on their ego rather than the principles of Islam. May Allah guide us all.
As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu..shaykh Lipham I have a question for you please....is there an arabic learning course here in the U.S. that you recommend for students of knowledge? I've spent my entire adult life in prison and was released four years ago.I have 2 small children and a wife and am too poor to travel abroad for ilm.I can read the Quran no problem but I cant understand most of it and I dont know tajweed.Any viable options?
Masaallah it seems like majority of those people who left their comments in the comments section they're either "scholars of Islam" or students of knowledge. Let us remember that each one of us will be responsible for every single letter we write or a word we have uttered. We should respect our righteous scholars and their students of knowledge.
With all due respect (you're more pious/knowledgeable than me) akhî. Husayn (r), 'Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (r), Sa'id Ibn Jubayr (r), Ahmad ibn Nasr al-Khuza'i (who was acknowledged as shaheed for his struggle by Imam Ahmad r) etc and their thousands of followers from among the best of peoples were wrong ? You say peoples spend their lives and even earn a living by criticizing the rulers, but how many do the same by praising them, when there isn't much to praise ? Criticizing the tyrannic monsters who have been unleashed unto the 'ummah by the Western cabal, and impose non Islamic if not counter Islamic political systems, is minimal decency. The fact that there are mosques has nothing to do with the rulers, but with the population, which is under their tyranny to begin with. You talk of tawhid but a lot of those who criticize the rulers do it in fact from this perspective, see at-tawhid al-hakimiyyah. For instance the 8th of the nawaqid al Islam (nullifiers of Islam) of Shaykh Ibn Abd al Wahhab (r) concerns those who ally with the disbelievers against Muslims, what Saudi Arabia has done more than one time, Saudi Arabia which is supposed to be "Wahabbi"... "Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best type of Jihad (striving in the way of Allah) is speaking a true word in the presence of a tyrant ruler." [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]. " "Abu 'Abdullah Tariq bin Shihab (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: A person asked the Prophet (ﷺ) (when he had just put his foot in the stirrup): "What is the highest form of Jihad?" He (ﷺ) said, "Speaking the truth in the presence of a tyrant ruler". [An-Nasa'i]. "
I want people to be free but what works in the West doesn't work in the lands that have different social/tribal structures. I remember reading this in one of my political science textbooks... democracy doesn't work in the same way in those lands. Everywhere people rise up.. there is great suffering.... so yes the civil government falls and the bigger problem is the military are waiting pretending to be on the side of the people but really just waiting to take the same power they always craved... and what's left is the people.
Although your analysis sounds rational and appealing, it sadly isn't applicable to certain realities. The Qur'an speaks of a similar story when a people had been prophetically ordered by God to take their rights by force, their answer was shockingly as such... Go (Oh prophet) with your God and fight, we are staying here. Point is, if one does nothing to change, nothing will change. And dying with degnity is far more rewarding than living sheepishly and humiliated.
I understand the brother and his overall message is right to an extent. But the people are accepting the ruler and if everyone just focuses on them selves nothing will change but when people just focus on themselves and shut up of cause nothing will change and at the time when islam was powerful and dignified and even at the time of the prophet (saw), there were still people who didn't pray, there were still muanafiqun in madinah. But I am not saying don't focus on yourselves. Do that, focus on Tawhid and your salah and the basics and practicing. Never bilittle the basics but that doesn't mean you do one without the other.
Justice - The story of the caliph Haroon or Rashid Name of a city in Syria RAKA From there, the letter came to the caliph Harunur-Rashid. It was written in the letter: City judge was sick for one month, the trial was stagnant. The Caliph is quick to arrange. The Caliph sent a reply to the letter. New judges will come next week. Within a week, new judges joined. The trial started. Local guardians presented an old lady as a prosecutor in the court. His crime was that he was caught in a handkerchief while stole some bread and honey from a restaurant in the city. Judge: Have you stolen? - Yes. - Do you know how big a crime is to steal? - Yes. - Why did you steal knowing? - Because I was hungry for the past week. The orphan had not eaten with me. I could not bear their tired look and tears, so I stole it. I had no choice except my lord. Judge now eyes the whole court. He said that the people of the city, the food, the Sharia, the police chief and the dignitaries of the society are present. Then the verdict will be given. The next morning everyone appeared. Judge and in the due time, the verdict declared: "Prosecution of the stolen woman was proved to be 50 scales, silver coins of 500 denominations and one year imprisonment." But due to the truth, the hand cut was forgiven due to the truth. The judge came down with the instructor to bring the whip to the whip and stood beside the old woman. The judge said that in the city where an hungry lady is forced to steal without food, she is the biggest culprit in that caliph of that country. And I have come here as a representative of the caliph. As I work under him, 20 sticks of 50 sticks should be killed in my hands. And this is the order of the judge. The order is to be obeyed and to punish me as a judge, there is no mercy or mercy. The judge extended his hand. After two hands, 20 sticks were killed. The result of the whip injuries blew the blood from the hand. In that situation, the judge took out a napkin from the pocket. The judge forbids if someone approaches a judge's hand. The judge then said, "The town head, the food ware chief and other social activists can not afford to be filled with a lack of women. They and criminals in that city So the remaining 30 whips would be killed in the same way. " Then the judge placed 50 silver coins on the handkerchief of his pocket. Then the judge said to everyone present: "The society that makes an elderly woman a thief, in the society where orphan children are fasting, everyone in the society is guilty. So all of them have been fined 100 pieces of silver coins. " Now, the silver coins of 100 denominarily silver coins of 500 drawer silver coins are given to the owner of 20 stolen shops from the remaining 400 silver coins. The rest of the 380 silver coins told the old woman, "These are for your sustenance. And next month you will come to the court of the Caliph Harunu Rashid. Khalifa Harunur Rashid apologizes to you. " A month later, the old woman went to the court of Khalifa; The person sitting in the seat of the caliph seems to be familiar. The women are afraid of the fear of going to the caliphate seats. If you can go to the person, that judge of that day. From the chair of the chair, Nemes said: "For the fasting of your orphaned two orphanages you apologized as a judge on that day." Today, we have called the court to forgive the rights of the Khalifa not to uphold the right of the people. Please forgive me.
Thanks for your input akhi. You say people are allowed to practice their religion in America, yet polygamy is illegal there. I'd like it if you could discuss that in a video.
Brother can you do a post on the whole Hasanat and Ummabdullah situation, your view point would be greatly appreciated especially from a scholarly aspect.
Such a sad situation is actually an Imaan Boost as well. Allah swt exposes the munafiqeen, in the past, today and in the future! It also should make you more independent, learn the deen and not rely solely on others thinking they are better than you because of how they look.
Subhan Allah, I just watched a video where the brother was commenting on Yasir Qadhi and other western duats' using the framework of the west i.e. science and liberalism to re-interpret islamic concepts and how that is flawed methodology. Now its seems he is doing the same with this question. I.e. applying modern 'nation state' concepts to the Ummah. Actually, the question itself is incomplete, its not about criticizing muslim rulers, its understanding what does Allah require from us in the case when islam is subjugated, our rulers are ruling by other than the sharia, when they are betraying the ummah siding with the unbelievers (to keep themselves in power), arresting and killing our scholars, and presenting awards to those committing genocides of muslims (like Modi). This is the real question at hand. The real fitna is kufr and shirk unanimously agreed by all classical scholars of the Quran. Did the sahabah understand the ayah " Allah does not change the state of a people , unitl they first change what is in themselves" as you have? Read the tafsir of this Ayah. Its unfortunate that duat have made this ayah into a manhaj, which is not even the meaning of the ayah.
جزاك الله خيرا انتقاد الحكام له طرق شريعة حتى لا يؤدي ذلك الى فساد اعظم واهتمام المسلم بعباداته واصلاح نفسه خير من تقصير النفس مع انتقاد الحكام كلمات موجزة ولكنها مهمة في وقت الدعاوى الى الفوضى في بلاد المسلمين
Its sad to see how ignorant many people have become in some parts of the deen, especially those who studies abroad in saudi arabia. they have been fed with the talk, obey the ruler and dont critizise them. Now let me ask you guys, didnt umar ra get critized in the open infront of people. you know what the reaction was? do you think he said how dare you critizise me infront of the people? or you are now from the khawarij?. NO! he was instead thankful for it. you guys keep covering for these rulers even if they fall into shirk and kufr, you have been brainwashed. Allah says : And do not incline towards the wrongdoers, lest the Fire should catch you. [Hūd:113] Sayyidnā Qatādah said, it means, ‘do not have friendship with the unjust and do not follow what they say.’ Ibn Jurayj said, ‘do not nurse a leaning of any kind towards the unjust.’ Abū al-‘Āliyah said, ‘do not like everything they do.’ (Qurtubī) Al-Suddiyy said, ‘do not court the favor of the unjust through servile flattery (mudāhanah), that is, do not observe silence or show your approval at their evil deeds.’ ‘Ikrimah said, ‘do not sit in the company of the unjust.’ Qādi al-Baidāwi said, ‘following them in personal looks, fashion, and ways of living are all included under this very prohibition.’ dont take parts of the religion and leave others, Salam !
@Tawheed Promoter why do people with your view look at this verse but ignore the others? Even in the west, if the police break someone's back and IRS takes half your income, you still have to comply with authorities ("listen and obey"). That's common sense. The average citizen even here follows this hadith. That doesn't necessarily mean you can't replace unjust rulers or correct grievances in the right time and place - the ballot box, complaining to authorities, or legal means. Until then, yes, you listen and obey to ensure order is maintained.
O people of saudi Arabia there are Muslims who would love to be in your beautiful land where no one can harm them just because they are Muslims where the Muslim women can wear her hijab or niqab and no one will make fun of her where the people really care about their families and protect their woman for those who understand You are a blessed nation ruled by the Noble Qur'an and the sunna sharifa holding on for more than 1400 years rejecting any sort of innovations for the religion to remain pure while the others have disobeyed their prophets And changed their books by their own hands adding and deleting I understand why there are so much hate and lies against you but I don't blame the haters if I were not a Muslim I will be very jealous of you the are not calling you for something better than what you have they just want you to lose your religion please hold on we are so proud of you and do not get sad for what you hear . always remember the verse وَلَقَد ۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدۡرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say. فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]. وَٱعۡبُدۡ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَكَ ٱلۡيَقِينُ And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death). may God bless you and protect you and your rulers and all Muslims peace be upon you from your Muslim brother
Baraku Allahu fik. It is over due for this Ummah to start looking in to it's so called rulers, as well as the learned scholars of our time. We must change ourselves but in fact the majority of those calling out these so called leaders are already those who are strict upon their Deen I.e practicing to the best of their ability, so I guess we can not reject this notion of calling out leaders in Islamic countries or speaking the Haqq because a few are not practicing well, and we mustn't reject the reality of this truth because of this small number(those not practicing well). However, all this 1st must be done with wisdom, respect of one another and the foundation of attaining this is to be brothers of Islam, loving for one another what we love for ourselves. Saudi Arabia, needs to be rectified, it's government(monarchy) a taghoot, apostates from Islam, upon nifaaq. I'm not a takfeeri but simply saw in them excactly what I read, and I'm not the only one such as scholars who are imprisoned and many learned people, even kufar can see they have no loyalty for Islam. Just because a ruler allows the practice of Islam doesn't automatically make him a Muslim. But I'm not saying it has to be rectified as a whole because the harm is greater but in factors and many other things that are un-Islamic and injustices-that is better than overthrowing it. I focused on Saudi because Arabia(Saudi) is the heart of Islam and the Ummah, because it is where the 2 sacred lands are and where we began(Qur'aan and Sunnah)and think it is the base of our victory(bcoz all Muslims respect and love this country bcoz it's the heart of Islam and dominates other countries in the hearts of true Muslims), so if the truth is called in there(Saudi)the rest around the world surely would follow except a few. But this is from the Wisdom of Allah ta'ala. but some countries, at times, circumstances etc needs to be left alone I.e Sudan, Somalia as we have seen the result of Somalia; so long as the people are not called to shirk,fahisha and refuse of practice of their Deen but if they're called to that then that has to be addressed but in a peaceful way 1st, not violence and vandalism, and causing fitna bring harm to others and else. Leaders are like parents, if they are upright then their nation is upright if they aren't then their nation is corrupt (except a few in both scenarios), like the Hadith of when the heart is corrupt the rest of the body is corrupt and if it is upright the rest of the body is upright. So we can not place All the blame on the general Muslims. We are a mess and we became a mess because of corrupt leaders and corrupt or silent scholars. We should remind them and I think in these times we should turn to the scholars and learned ones reminding them that there is a grave punishment in hiding knowledge and if they are cowards we will support them. Having said the above, in a time of weakness we certainly enjoin the good and forbid the evil and do good; we must 1st fix the above saying with peace and wisdom, we have to bear in mind that the enemies want further disunity amongst the Ummah but yet we have to follow the 1st generations in how their loyalty was to Islam I,e the Shariah of Allah, not fearing non but Allah ta'ala and being as those whom Allah praised in not fearing the blame of the blamers .I have more to say but it's already been a long write. Wallahu A'lam.
@Saajid Lipham, but the question is, do you want a bottom-up approach, or a top-down approach. I think you are advocatin the first option, but other groups they prefer the top-down approach, where they first control the state, then start educating the masses. Really, the second option is how any successfull country has done it in the past. You can preach all you want, but the faasiq will keep ignoring you and continue sinning, because your words are not backed by power, it is I think the unfortunate truth. The only ones following you for now, is those that want to become good Muslims voluntarily because their imaan is still intact, and they are "men of understanding". Then there is a segment of the population that is jaahil, and they only respect force (not vigilante, but state force, monopoly of the violence lies with the state).
Brother Saajid, I have been telling my friends to stop these kinda mindset cuz is not worth at end of the day. A country needs a government. I myself come from a country that it’s own people overthrown the government for many years and until now struggling. Wallahi I was so happy when you made the video on Saudi Arabia your perspective. I felt someone finally gets it. May Allah save the world❤️❤️
Sorry my English everybody

Hiba Jama Can't you keep your ill will to your brothers and sisters to yourself at least? If you believe in the justice of such a prayer and you only want it for Allah's sake, then would you dare keep it in your heart to its fruits in the day of judgement? I promise you I do not wish you that or any ill, but I am only trying to help you realize and picture the gravity of what you just said. Please don't sister.
Tariq ibn Shihab reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, “What is the best jihad?” The Prophet said, “A word of truth in front of a tyrannical ruler.”
Source: Musnad Aḥmad 18449
Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Nawawi
DeenoverDunya كلمة حق a word of truth is also not inciting people to rebel, risk internecine, or fitna. The scholars also compliment this Hadith with the other hadiths that insist on unity and obeying the ruler and rule of law while being patient. Therefore, there is the respect and a proper way to consider to say the word of truth to avoid any trouble that is liable to cause more harm than any good.
@Abu How do you conclude that? You are talking about the Sahaba so quick judgements are more out of place than usual. How do you conclude that they disobeyed that?
@Abu If you are serious be patient.
1. To claim that there was a rebellion has to be proved historically. So what rebellion specifically you are referring to? Who are the Sahaba involved?
2. Historic narratives are not used to derive Ahkam. Historic narrative are debatable and justly so. Hadiths that are Sahih are what Ahkam are derived from.
@Abu These are debatable historic narratives so it is not a reference. It can make for an additional argument for a mujtahid who sees that al-khourouj is permissible. However, our reference should be al-quran and assunnah and the understanding of salaf.
So the point of argument is to prove that assalaf did that, however, as said before the narratives are debatable. Moreover, if we consider the details of what is written in the historic narrative we will find that these narratives include claims that Sahaba had different opinions on the matter.
@Abu The risk these entail can lead to huge problems. Even if it is seen permissible it is only in certain very specific conditions that give guarantees that it won't cost considerable harm - this would rarely be provided.
On the other hand, advice can be done properly. What we see often is challenges rather than advice. There is a big difference.
So so true brother. People are so stupid to think it's easy. And it is cowardly and fuel to the fire. Innocent people get caught and it's just bloodshed.
May Allaah guide and protect us from fitnah.
@@hattorihanzo7937 that's right, but look at the muslims, most of them are far away from Islam. I know alot of muslims who have fled the current war torn places and I can say most of them are miles away from Islam. I now questioned whether they deserve what is happening to them. When I speak to them all they want is more liberal society like the west. Nothing to do with not being allowed to pray, fast, wear hijab and so on. It's more to do with wanting to be free to roam. Sorry but I agree with the brother. Also all this unnecessary deaths and damage to the country. Not wise at all. The people were better off in most of these countries and now they are suffering. I have no sympathy for them other than what a mistake to stand up against your ruler when you had some sort of stability. Now no stability. Not wise at all.
@@hattorihanzo7937 I think about the whole picture. I'm saying if you have stability don't rock the boat. I'm not saying it's great that people are dieing. I'm sure the real believers stayed and died. And inshaa Allaah their reward is with Allaah.
And I'm aware how blessed I am not to be in these situation. But that doesnt mean I'm going to be fooled by the people who leave these countries for western way of life. As for muslims in the west doing haram, calling to haram will get what their hands send forward. I still dont agree with standing up to your ruler, it's not wise.

Once Hadrat Umar bin Al Khattab (R) was passing by a man in the market, who was praying that,
.
- "O Allah, accept us among your" few "servants,
And Allah, accept us among your "few" slaves.
.
Omar (R) asked him, "Where did you receive such a blessing?"
.
The man said, "Allah says in his book,
.
- "And fewer of my servants express gratitude"
[Surah Asa Sabah 13]
.
After hearing this, Umar (R) cried and rebuked himself as saying,
O Omar, people are more knowledgeable and blessed than you, and Allah!
Accept us among your "few" servants.
.
Sometimes it is like you advised one to refrain from doing a sin, then he draws the reference that,
.
- "But most people do that"
.
But if you see the word "most people" in the Quran, then most people will see
• Do not know (Al-Araf: 187)
• does not express gratitude (Baqarah: 243)
• Do not believe [Hud: 17]
.
And if you see the status of "most of them" then you will see that most of them,
• Disobedient [al-Maidah: 59]
• Murthak [al-An'am: 111]
• Turns away [al-Anbiya 24]
• Do not talk [Al-Ankabut 24] and
• Do not listen [al-Anfal 21]
.
Therefore, they become involved in "a small number of people" about whom Allah said,
- And few of my servants are grateful [As-Sabah 13]
But most of the people have disbelieved, except for a few [Hud: 40]
They will be in Paradise filled with blessings. And among the later generations, less will be. [Waqia: 12-14]
.
Ibn al-Qayyum said, "Follow the path of truth and do not feel lonely at the low number of people walking in this way, and be careful not to get caught by the false path and the excess of the people walking in this way."

Im a long time supporter... (since you made the maidnah videod with Abdul Haqq the American)
MashaaLlah, . The brother is telling the truth. Criticizing Muslim rulers, revolting against them is the methodology of the khawarij. Whereas people of Sunnah obey them in what does not disobey Allah, SWT and make dua for their rectification.
You always seem to clarify everything bro saajid
"There were 2230 passengers on the Titanic ship, while 706 people were rescued alive, 1524 passengers lost their lives in the Titanic movie, but most of the passengers died drowning in the water, but the movie hero" Jack "ice died due to zero degree of cold water, when a visitor Seeing as much as he was sad in Jack's death, he was so sad for other passengers on the ship. No. The condition of the audience is such that if all die, then survive the hero Jack.
Ever asked yourself, why is that? As a man, the death of all the passengers was about to get the same sadness. But why is so ridiculous the audience of Jack Jack?
Jack is a gambler, an alcoholic, a smoker, a pornographic illustrator. Overall Jack is an adulterer. Even after all, why is Jack's life worth more than the others?
The answer is very simple. The producer camera only turns to "Jack and Rose". As a result, the audience thinks that the passengers are the only two passengers. But at the same time, thousands of women and children on the other side of the camera did not reach the ears of the screams and screams. As a result, visitors do not even try to understand it.
Our daily life is like that In the United States, Britain and France, a little cocktail fades, the media has highlighted it for several weeks. But at the same time, hundreds of bombs are being carried out every day in Afghanistan, Waziristan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Kashmir, Myanmar and Palestine on the other side of this media. Thousands of people are being killed. Their disturbing screams burst into the sky and split the sky. Not only does our ears swell.
This is the source of all the sins of the world. They taught people how much more homosexuality, animalism, and libtugaadera. They killed three hundred thousand people in Hirishima and Nagasaki. In Iraq, one million people have been killed. Their abduction is still going on in Afghanistan and Syria.
After all, the West is our hero. Let the titanic drown, let thousands of passengers die. Yet, the hero Jack and the heroine alive alive.
😢😢😢
Jazakalahu kheyr brother for this valuable advise and this has been said by the prophet and companions and scholars thanks brother keep up with the dawa and don't let these negative comments on youtube let you down
@@abuuabuu4831 we don't no his intentions and there's no evidence for that in addition to that "doubts will only disappear with certainty" and obeying the Muslim ruler is part of our religion allah said in surat al-nisa verse 59. Obey allah and his messenger and those who command you
@@abuuabuu4831 brother look up the tafsir of this verse.ulilamr is the scholars and the rulers
@@abuuabuu4831 The tafsir I looked up was tafsir ibn kathir and he died over 666 years ago and Saudi was created on 1937 so that's approximately 570 years in between the scholar died way back in time
Akhi we can go on and on brother I advise you and my self to seek knowledge of islam and tawheed and aqeedah salam brother
This video was very judgmental against its audience. Accusing the audience of not praying salah, not prioritizing, etc. Judging? Accusing the people of a nation, not its leaders. Are leaders perfect human beings without flaw? Here’s a general principle: Politics nowadays=Corruption. Btw you can pray 5 times a day but if your actions and intentions against other human beings counter your deen’s practice, than what good is it. I understand in other countries you can suffer severe consequences if you criticize your leader. But if our Prophet would have never criticized the rulers, leaders of his Era on the way they were worshipping, governing, leading their lifestyle, would there have been a change for the better? This will be my last discussion. Smh.
How to become better Muslim if am oppressed and not able to voice my opinion against a ruler I didn't choose.
Those rulers are Psudo_Muslims
If you can't critize a ruler. So does that mean if in Mekkah may Allah for bit they start Night clubs even then we are not suppose to critize the rule and just be a obedient servant of the rulers. I find this to be very funny but I do agree don't critize the ruler for every small things they do.
@@bluemountain19 they are humans of course and make mistakes, but killing his citizens and chopping them in embassies, using public money to be bomb other Muslim countries,, thats not a simple thing.
First of all who chosed this ruler? Did the public chose this family to rule us.
DID the companions abubaker,omer and Ali inherit the khilafa or they were chosed by the mases?
😊 or were they chosed by the brits and jews???
Where these fake Muslim rulers came from?
Don't tell me the morrocan king is ( amir al_nomneen) for real while his homosexual and alcoholic behaviors are all in the news 😂 😂.
And don't let me start with the psycho master of bone saw (MBS) 😂, that crminal can give lessons to Satan himself 😅
Here’s a general principle:
You're not obeying rule of Islam,you should have hijab and pray 5 times a day..so please dont lecture us about ''clean hearts'' and ''lean towards non muslims...
Btw. when you mentioned name of our Prophet s.a.w.s. you should say salavat and salaam upon him beacouse you're cursed according to hadith from Jibrail a.s.
who say"who ever mention your name without call peace and blessing upon you may be curse upon him, say Amin and Prophet s.a.w.s. repeat Amin.
Your picture is very non muslim,looks who is talking about Islam......
@@akvabullet u are not the one to define Islam? Do you know that one of the sahabas was alcoholic? Ya ya read about it before attacking Muslim sisters abd doing قذف المحصنات
،بارك اللّٰه فيك يا اخي، ماشاء اللّٰه، جزاك اللّٰه خيراً
you are so right. what you're saying makes sense and is true
You're 100% correct.👍👍👍
Allah bless you for putting down Fitnah
All is as God wills. Those rulers who deserve to will burn in the fire for their deeds....
First of all we have to change ourselves from bad to good....
Muslim rulers? Are we talking about the sahaba time, khulafa or those who don't rule by shariah and instead are busy forcing democracy down the throats of Muslims. Muslim ruler is a big word use it carefully
👍👍👍
"من رئا منكم منكرا فاليغيره بيده فمن لم يستطع فبلساىه فمن لم يستطع فبقلبه و ذلك اضعف الايمان .... صدق رسول الله (ص) و ما معنى الامر بالمعروف و النهي عن المنكر !!
ليس بالضروره صلاة الفجر او ايه صلاة ان تكون في المسجد ممكن في المنزل عدا صلاة الجمعه
Can’t agree with you more. MashaAllah Allah has given you an insight and vision. And has also given you a digital platform. Keep up the good work.
انا مغربي جزاك الله خيرا هذا هوالسني الحق الذي يخاف من الفتن فنحن مامورون بالإحسان لغير المسلمين فما بالك بالمسلمين والاخوان المسلمين هم من شوهوا صورة الإسلام والإسلام بريئ منهم
Christians in the middle ages also were not allowed to criticize their rulers because the church told them so
يوجد كثير من الدعاة و علماء الدين الشرفاء في سجون السعودية، وهذا بسبب كلمة حق في وجه سلطان جائر.
100% agreed and make sense. May Allah bless and protect u my brother.
I'm happy to see someone like u . make a video how u felt after converted to Islam.
By the way I'm jealous of u being a better Muslim than me Allah bless u
It is mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari that Abu Bakr (ra) was asked:
_"How long shall we enjoy this good order (i.e. Islamic religion) which Allah has brought after the period of ignorance?" He said, "You will enjoy it as long as your Imams keep on abiding by its rules and regulations." She asked, "What are the Imams?" He said, "Were there not heads and chiefs of your nation who used to order the people and they used to obey them?" She said, "Yes." He said, "So they (i.e. the Imams) are those whom I meant."_
By blaming the common people, you imply that the people who hold immensely more power have no influence; i.e. the brutal Secular dictators who actively spread Fahisha of all kind are not conscious actors.
Yes by improving yourself you can make small scale change, like positively improving your family and neighbourhood, but large scale change requires influential leaders (not only politically)
Numerous Sahaba and their children/students have vocally and/or violently rebelled for much much more minor infractions than what exists today (in your words, they gambled with people's lives), so it is a question of weighting in the pros and cons
The Quran and Sunnah and history are very clear that Allah will bring his punishment and destruction to nations silent to public injustice. Simply being silent and nodding along as things get progressively worse will simply increase the chance that the punishment will be more severe. Think of it like a nail getting deeper through skin; it has to be removed but removing it recklessly when it was allowed to go deep will cause problems. But to avoid Allah's punishment and not be held to account for our silence, who is able to oppose with wisdom should do so.
By the way, the Saudi royal family owning media empires heavily promoting Liberalism and degenaracy for decades, and supporting Secular dictatorships, blindly following US gov. agenda have directly caused people to become less religious and more disconnected from the Ummah (thus pray less). Taking steps to solve one issue doesn't mean you have to completly forget about another. People trust and respect scholars (not getting tortured in prisons) less when they are required to be silent against things like a "halal disco". This is not analogous to most periods of Islam; scholars were not simply politically passive, they held immense power in the legislative and judisary front
I watched a lecture by a sheikh, he said that not all scholars are inheritors of the prophets, but only those like Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhaab rahimullah who not only preached from their comfort zone location, but actually went out in the public and he seeked powerful allies to bring about political as well as religious change in his society.
Salahuddeen Ayyoubi
Yes, but what the comment above means is that such men of knowledge are now imprisoned. And we know of the warning against concealing knowledge. And we also know that it was narrated from Rasullah alayhi sallatu wa salam that the best form of jihad is speaking the truth in front of a tyrant. Yet wisdom has to play a great role in doing this as well as changing ourselves.
Shadow Who Walks baraku Allahu fik, I wanted to say the similar to what you said. It is over due for this Ummah to start looking in to it's so called rulers, as well as the learned scholars of our time. We must change ourselves, I think the majority of those calling out these so called leaders are already those who strict upon their Deen I.e practicing to the best of their ability, so I guess we can not reject this notion of calling out leaders in Islamic countries or speaking the Haqq because a few are not practicing well, and we mustn't reject the reality of this truth because of this small number(those not practicing well). However, all this 1st must be done with wisdom, respect of one another and the foundation of attaining this is to be brothers of Islam, loving for one another what we love for ourselves.
Saudi Arabia, needs to be rectified, it's government(monarchy) a taghoot, apostates from Islam, upon nifaaq. I'm not a takfeeri but simply saw in them excactly what I read, and I'm not the only one such as scholars who are imprisoned and many learned people, even kufar can see they have no loyalty for Islam. Just because a ruler allows the practice of Islam doesn't automatically make him a Muslim. But I'm not saying it has to be rectified as a whole because the harm is greater but in factors and many other things that are un-Islamic and injustices-that is better than overthrowing it. I focused on Saudi because Arabia(Saudi) is the heart of Islam and the Ummah, because it is where the 2 sacred lands are and where we began(Qur'aan and Sunnah)and think it is the base of our victory(bcoz all Muslims respect and love this country bcoz it's the heart of Islam and dominates), so if the truth is called in there the rest around the world surely would follow except a few. But this is from the Wisdom of Allah ta'ala. but some countries, at times, circumstances etc needs to be left alone I.e Sudan, Somalia as we have seen the result of Somalia; so long as the people are not called to shirk,fahisha and refuse of practice of their Deen but if they're called to that then that has to be addressed but in a peaceful way 1st, not violence and vandalism, and causing fitna bring harm to others and else.
Leaders are like parents, if they are upright then their nation is upright if they aren't then their nation is corrupt (except a few in both scenarios), like the Hadith of when the heart is corrupt the rest of the body is corrupt and if it is upright the rest of the body is upright. So we can not place All the blame on the general Muslims. We are a mess and we became a mess because of corrupt leaders and corrupt or silent scholars. We should remind them and I think in these times we should turn to the scholars and learned ones reminding them that there is a grave punishment in hiding knowledge and if they are cowards we will support them.
Having said the above, in a time of weakness we must 1st fix the above saying with peace and wisdom, we have to bear in mind that the enemies want further disunity amongst the Ummah but yet we have to follow the 1st generations in how their loyalty was to Islam I,e the Shariah of Allah, not fearing non but Allah ta'ala and being as those whom Allah praised in not fearing the blame of the blamers .I have more to say but it's already been a long write. Wallahu A'lam.
‘Iyad ibn Ghanam reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever intends to advise one with authority, he should not do so publicly. Rather, he should take him by the hand and advise him in private. If he accepts the advice, all is well. If he does not accept it, he has fulfilled his duty.”

We used to have conversations about what we can do to change the world. What are we doing as Muslims - Turks in this life. What is our purpose in life. We were doing some history research and some Islamic research such as Hadith and Tafsir and from different ideologies we had discussions on how we can be more powerful as Turkey and what it is that we need to do in our lives so that we can change something cause each of us felt that there is something wrong in this world we live in. We brought up different ideas and discussed what it is that we can do so we can let's say stop Russians or Americans when they invade Afghanistan or Iraq or wherever. How can we stop the West who support PKK terrorist group that has thousands of peoples' blood in its hands. Like there were clear evidences the terrorists were using some very high tech German weapons in south-east Turkey and northern Iraq. We used to talk and talk about how we can do something. We used to make dream revolutions and fight great wars and lay out very specific steps that we can take. In high school I remember having such discussions in a park or in a cafe till morning discussing these subjects. Almost after all such talks I used to reach to the conclusion that we must pray five times a day, try being on the right path and try to make people around us do the same without disrespect and violence. Most agreed to this. Cause at the end of the day everything around us happens for a reason so we can take lessons and the reason why we're alive is to be tested in this world to determine our eternal lives in the hereafter. In this test as Sajiid says first we must believe and then there's the prayer. Almost every muslim scholar says so. Therefore nothing is more important than prayer. Additionally let's be honest tweeting and shouting in the streets is not going to change much. So we need to understand unless we had serious wealth or a talent or something that seperates us from other billions of people no one cares about what we say. So the best thing we can do is to change ourselves and become better Muslims and then try to affect the people who might give a damn about what we say, like our family or our close friends. BUT in doing so we must be hopeful too! Let me end this with a word from the Quran : وَمَكَرُوا۟ وَمَكَرَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلْمَٰكِرِينَ
Brother lipham, your video is greatly appreciated. I have a couple of genuine questions here: are we free (of sin) to criticize rulers of non-muslim states? How about non-muslim states that have a Muslim or believing minority, such as China? Finally, can we criticize non-muslim rulers if such criticism can lead to violent upheaval in the non-muslim state? I appreciate what you said about keeping steadfast to prayers and ritual obligations. The priority here is not to idly critisize rulers from the comfort of our own homes, or to give in to knee-jerk reactions. But I, along with many in our ummah, are greatly saddened, and I daresay, angry, with the myriad of despotic rulers that sit as heads of state in Muslim lands . You are not the first to say that we should refrain from criticism, in fact I think your opinion here is closer to that of the scholars, but the spotlight associated with criticism has stayed the hands of many modern day tyrants. Thank you again and assalamalaikum from Canada.
The Messenger of Allah said: «أفضل الجهاد كلمة عدل عند سلطان جائر» "The best Jihad is the just word to a tyrant ruler". And He said: «سيد الشهداء حمزة بن عبد المطلب ورجل قام إلى إمام جائر فأمره ونهاه فقتله» "The master of martyrs is Hamza Ibn Abdul Mutalib and a man who stands up to a tyrant ruler and orders and forbids him (accounts him) and is killed (by the ruler)"
*عند* سلطان جائر. ليس أمام الناس
Saajid, remember the Muslims that were killed by a taghut king, the story of the people of the ditch in the Qur'an, Allah swt calls that faawz al-kabir (great success), they died, and it is called great success! Weep for those of us who live in comfort and are blind to the reality of the dunya and akhira.
Well said akhi al kareem BaarakaAllahu feek
This video and what you're saying is just too good everyone needs to hear this I can't stress enough over how EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS ..
Br ur speech is so rational and understandable....some people have corrupt heart they Don't like stable country... They just want violence... Look at Sudan now...becoming another Sirya...damm
A: The corrupt puppet regime is unstable and is going to inevitably crash and burn with the country, we are late but maybe we should do something to allivate this before is too late
B: Why are you destabilizing the country!!?? It is your fault!!!!
Rulers came by removing the ruler before him. What is wrong with demanding a righteous government ? I think you come from a legacy of not being oppressed or being violated so ofcourse you are a conformist. The nation belongs to the people and so does the throne. Yes government controls even the equality of air you breathe
If you know the history of Saudi Arabia you won’t say what you just said. The kingdom was Established by unifying all the tribes under the Shariah law and they all made Baiaa (بيعة) to the king. The king didn’t remove any government or occupy anyone’s land
@@aziizgh I wasn't speaking about Saudis Arabia. Saudi people are generous and their government is none of my buisness. But he cannot come and tell people to not want to strive for better government
aziizGH, they rebelled against the khilafah. Stop try To present this as something unifying. When it helped lead to the end of the khilafah.
There are legitimate arguments to be made against rebellion. If it leads to more harm. Yours is not one of them. Since it's a mischarectarization of what actually happened.
Masha Allah brother Sajid. Your videos are so beautiful I watch them twice. And you’re absolutely right. Sadly 😢 my people in Sudan thinks I’m chatting non sense when I say these verses to them -> 53. That is because Allah would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing. (Al-Anfaal)
verse: 41. Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness]. (Al-Room). I always keep telling them that Returning to Allah is the only solution in reforming our case.
Unfortunately many of them like u said don’t even pray, disbelief in some of the Hadiths or all of the Hadiths, and interpret Quran their way, and most of them are concerned and obsessed about the rulers. Except for few people who Allah has blessed.
It’s sad 😔
you are so right brother its just realy sad to see some of our muslim brothers become their worst enemies may allah guide to right path and away from fitna
mohammad mutari Amen brother 🤲🏾
Saudi Arabia has a lot of mistakes, but its the most Islamic country and the most country that implements the shreaa. Its prohibited in Islam to overthrow the leader, so all of you Internet warriors get your basic Islamic understanding.
Waited for this video
The best Practices of Islam are conveyed from western Muslims!
أحسنت وأحسن الله إليكم.
UA-cam commando, that’s my new word now lol
Si true brother, if all of us were working on ourselves the Muslims wouldn’t be in this mess we’re in now, oppression, we don’t like each other ect
May Allah bless and protect u and your family! Your contents are superb
May allah increase your knowledge and keep you steadfast on the right path.... well said and makes so much sense mashalah barak allah feek.
True it seems like for the past few years we are so busy criticizing our muslim ruler and the muslim ummah is less concerned a about knowing and strengthening their deen. How did the muslim benefit from overthrowing their muslim leaders in countries some of the muslim arab countries. Nothing we have to think about this also
Yet another attempt to conflate criticism with rebellion. Stop with that disgusting attempt to misdirect and butcher the point some are making. It shows you either don't understand what is being discussed. Or you are intentionally misrepresenting what is being said and asked. May Allah guide us all, Ameen
@@aboutthat1440 first no need to attack or get angry. Secondly please assume good in your brother or sister. And lastly I fully understood what the brother said may allah guide us all
There isn't anger in that. If you read it that way, then I will clarify it for you. It wasn't in anger. It was in exasperation. By constantly conflating even criticism with reckless rebellion it ends up taking away from what it seems like you/he are doing. Which is To try and calm people down before they might behave in a reckless manner. I have no issues with that. In and of itself. There is Hickman in that for sure.
I do have issue with not assuming the best of your brothers and sisters. Like you just posted. Like Claiming in such a general sense that anyone with criticism isn't going to the masjid to pray whenever they can. Or they just want war with no idea about the consequences. I know it turns some even further from the point he is trying to make. Simply by assuming the least. I won't say worst. Because he didn't imo.
Like others have commented they hear this same speech all the time. So it begins to fall on deaf ears for some.
The reason I mentioned education about the subject. Is because any subject we don't know about makes us ignorant of the subject. So when even asking questions is about khilafah for instance. Instead of treating people like annoying children. (And let's be honest it often comes across that way.) Give good information on the subject and the Minaj to implement it. Or deal with the subject matter, If you know.
By not doing this. Those who you are trying to get to see your point. Only see the same ole thing. Unfortunately It comes across as dodgy. Whether that was the intent or not.
Right now anyone that even looks the part can lead others astray and to a greater fitna. You can't simply say worry about yourself (in essence). Muslims tend to love Muslims. So the love for Muslims is worldwide. So of course Muslims want better for the ummah. I think it's dangerous to to leave people with nothing but the same speech. Because the subject won't go away. So Education on the subject. While Pointing out some of the pitfalls in not dealing with the subject properly and not being insulting to the questioners Islam are musts. Yes, I understand even that has pitfalls for some. That does Take away the need for my points. Again it's my opinion. not doing this only hurts.
5Pillars recently had a very good discussion on this. At least I thought so. I believe they posted the video a couple of days ago. It's about and hour plus long. I thought the brother that studied at Qura did a very good job in addressing this. Without getting dragged into the deep end. Maybe I thought it was good because made points that I have been wishing someone would make. Because those more educated need to address this in some different ways. I think.
I thank you for your sincere naseeha. It is much appreciated
May Allah guide us all to the straight path , Ameen
What is your view on the recent events where a number of Arab countries have forged diplomatic ties with Israel who continue to oppress our brothers in Palestine?
كفيت و وفيت و جزاك الله خيرا
I'm afraid that it is impossible to practice Islam 100% without having a state that backs Islam 100%. A lot of these Islamic laws need to be implemented by a state, not individuals.
Ok but what if a Muslim currently has the freedom to practice his deen 75% but him and his community only practice 3%? I think they should focus on implementing the other 72% before they even start thinking about a revolution.
Absolutely the truth. It's part of the reason it's a fard to be ruled by Islam.
U can't practice Islam when they are opening halal bars😅😅
@@SaajidLipham who said they're only practising 3%, you can't generalise and say all Muslims are bad.
@@SaajidLipham that 25% being taken away from the muslims is the reason why they only practice 3%. Do you expect people to practice deen when the country allow drugs, prostitution, pedophilia, corruption etc on the streets? Not every companion of the prophet was like abu bakr and umar.
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah.
JazakAllah Khairan for your very honest speech. I ask Allah to protect and make a land of peace and stability for Saudi and also its people to comeback to the Quran and the Sunnah of our beloved prophet Mohamed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
I'm Saudi and I love my country and my Government 🇸🇦🇸🇦
These people or speakers in foreign countries are inciting violence because they're not suffering the consequences.
I'm not a Saudi and I do understand your point. May Allah protect us all .
We need to have free speech in Muslim countries...to critize government because they serve the people.
I am sure Saudi Arabia is or was a better place to practice your deen, than let's say Egypt. But you should also know that Saudi Arabia was behind the coup that ousted Morsi from power, by backing the secular military dictatorship in Egypt. It reminds me of Israel, they claim to be the only democracy in the region, what they won't tell you however, is that they do their utmost best to oust "democratic" leaders in the region, because if democracy means majority rule, they can't have that, a majority of Muslims in that country will be anti-Israel and back anti-Israeli policies.
I'm really glad that Saudi Arabia is supporting the Egyptian army against Israel
They love Egypt so much that they cut the oil supply for the world until Egypt Wan bake Sinai
What a heroic Alliance
And a true Brotherhood
Stay away from bone saws 😅😅
We can't always stay silent and keep our priority to go the Masjid at Fajr, how about some Muslim country where you don't even have the freedom to go to the Masjid at Fajr. If they found out they you go to the Masjid every Fajr your are picked up to be questioned. So do you mean to say you have to be silent about what is happening. Now a days no Muslim country is practising Islam as it should be so just pray Allah guide us. As for Saudi Arabia they are just puppets of the US
Dude is very clear if you read between the lines: 1. God doesn't change your situation (ie, your rulers) until people change themselves. 2. Saajid is reminding people to change themselves for the better (pray, raise kids properly, etc.) because people are not practicing their faith. 3. In summary (I'll say it for you): Yes we need a change of rulers and the way to do that is to change ourselves. Great talk and nice way to keep the traditional manner of showing respect to your rulers while acknowledging that there is a problem both in the rulers and the people who are ruled.
JazakAllahu khayr brother, i noticed those muslims who always speak about those rulers are either those who not even practise and don't have any islamic knowledge, or takfiris (who are not much more knowledgeable). Also, as brother saajid stated i don't see the meaning behind always talking bad about saudi arabia although this is the best country in terms of religious freedom
There's a difference between always talking bad and valid criticism. The fact is Saudi Arabia is waging a war in Yemen that is killing millions, is imprisoning the ulema and is making deals with Israel.
The Saudi Arabian government is spreading (Tawhid ) monotheism against grave worshippers of Iran turkey and the Muslim Jewishood organization
That is why they try to bring hate towards the Saudi government that is most Islamic
The Saudis also Led an Islamic coalition to free Yemen from the persian pagans which the Yemenis are at war with sense 2007
Until Saudi Arabia steps in
And now the Fake Iranian accounts and M Jewishood are screaming on social media hoping to fool the western Muslims about the situation but The middle easterns are well informed of what's going on and that's you found brother Saajid is different from most fools on UA-cam because he lived 8 years of his life overseas searching for the truth
ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.
Quran 39 9
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) invited the call of "La ilaha illallah", the rulers of that area were shocked,
When Ibrahim A announced the declaration of "La ilaha illallah", then the emperor Namrud went on a rage,
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) invited the call of "La ilaha illallah", the ruler fainted,
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) invited the call of "La ilaha illallah", the elite class became disturbed,
When our Messenger sent the call to "La ilaha illallah", the then leader Abu Jabal Abu Lahabi was shocked,
When Sayed Qutb Rah of Egypt wrote the book of "La ilaha illallah", then the Tagut ruler became angry and hanged him in the gallows,
And in our country the light of "La ilaha illallah" is jikir, but the taghut group does not say anything,
That is, they do not have the same thing as their "La ilaha illallah", because "La ilaha illallah" means that no one obeys Allah's command, so if the invitation of the original "La ilaha illallah" is invoked, then those who are sitting in Allah's seat He used to be furious, imprisoned, falsified!
But La ilaha illallah to please our "la ilaha illallah" tagat, so we are adulterated with la ilaha illallah, if there were no adulteration, we had to be in the same situation which had been our predecessors.
So we have to learn the original "La ilaha illallah" and all the gods should be abandoned by Allah.
Bless you brother, I just wanna add this Hadith Sahih Bukhari - Book: 93 Hadith: 7142
Narrated Junada bin Abi Umaiya: We entered upon ‘Ubada bin As-Samit while he was sick. We said, “May Allah make you healthy. Will you tell us a Hadith you heard from the Prophet and by which Allah may make you benefit?” He said,“The Prophet called us and we gave him the Pledge of allegiance for Islam, and among the conditions on which he took the Pledge from us, was that we were to listen and obey (the orders) both at the time when we were active and at the time when we were tired, and at our difficult time and at our ease and to be obedient to the ruler and give him his right even if he did not give us our right, and not to fight against him unless we noticed him having open Kufr (disbelief) for which we would have a proof with us from Allah.”

بارك الله فيك
You right very difficult overseas political
jazaak ALLAHU Khairan akhi
Those of us who live in the West will one day feel what other Muslims go through. It’s a shame that Muslim men think like this, the way most of the men today think. It is because of the men who follow their own whims and desires that left off jihad. Now the entire Muslim lands are occupy by the enemy. The men of our ummah are cowards, not all but most. Too scared to even think about making a change. Yet we have those who will die for the dunya. So most are stuck living up kufr rule because there’s no place for us to go. Crazy.
Ok. Got your point. Well done brother.
I would add muslims could critisize in proper form khulafa themselves at times, and those muslims were proper muslims themselves.
Nevertheless saudi, kuwait, uae governments have racism laws in place. Discrimination is widespread. May be they are “relatively good” in their own country, but outside they are supporting groups like isis. They are killing men, women, children, elderly in Yaman? Starving them to death.
As Allah’s witnesses on the earth we need to know it and talk about it.
Very good point brother. It’s assumed you should criticise rulers
I agree with this principle. This is also crystal clear from the teachings of Islam and from the life of the Prophet (pbuh). The fate of the nation does not change until people change. If you don't follow Islam as a nation in general then your criticisms of Rulers are most likely not going to be from an Islamic point of view. If you criticise and lets say even overthrow the government whats going to happen? Another ruler will replace the one that was overthrown and the same pattern will continue. Look at Egypt as an example. People need to change first and the way to do that is to work on the fundamentals of Islam. Once people become strong enough then change will automatically follow and no force on planet Earth will be able to stop it.
Sadly I see a lot of Muslims argue over things that are very low in the list of priorities. They argue and create division over it yet they are not interested in even the basics of Islam. This to me just proves their arguments and differences are based on their ego rather than the principles of Islam. May Allah guide us all.
True and that means ALL obligations. Not just the ones that make you feel comfortable.
Great. Thank you for your speech.
Iranian revolution made Iran more Islamic and much better
Sorry to say pal but it didn't.
It didnt at all.
As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu..shaykh Lipham I have a question for you please....is there an arabic learning course here in the U.S. that you recommend for students of knowledge? I've spent my entire adult life in prison and was released four years ago.I have 2 small children and a wife and am too poor to travel abroad for ilm.I can read the Quran no problem but I cant understand most of it and I dont know tajweed.Any viable options?
Masaallah it seems like majority of those people who left their comments in the comments section they're either "scholars of Islam" or students of knowledge. Let us remember that each one of us will be responsible for every single letter we write or a word we have uttered. We should respect our righteous scholars and their students of knowledge.
you're so honest
I'm agree 💯... my brother...!!!
Very sound opinion, My Allah bless you.
All the four imams critized their rulers and were imprisoned for it.
With all due respect (you're more pious/knowledgeable than me) akhî.
Husayn (r), 'Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (r), Sa'id Ibn Jubayr (r), Ahmad ibn Nasr al-Khuza'i (who was acknowledged as shaheed for his struggle by Imam Ahmad r) etc and their thousands of followers from among the best of peoples were wrong ?
You say peoples spend their lives and even earn a living by criticizing the rulers, but how many do the same by praising them, when there isn't much to praise ? Criticizing the tyrannic monsters who have been unleashed unto the 'ummah by the Western cabal, and impose non Islamic if not counter Islamic political systems, is minimal decency. The fact that there are mosques has nothing to do with the rulers, but with the population, which is under their tyranny to begin with. You talk of tawhid but a lot of those who criticize the rulers do it in fact from this perspective, see at-tawhid al-hakimiyyah. For instance the 8th of the nawaqid al Islam (nullifiers of Islam) of Shaykh Ibn Abd al Wahhab (r) concerns those who ally with the disbelievers against Muslims, what Saudi Arabia has done more than one time, Saudi Arabia which is supposed to be "Wahabbi"...
"Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best type of Jihad (striving in the way of Allah) is speaking a true word in the presence of a tyrant ruler."
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
"
"Abu 'Abdullah Tariq bin Shihab (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:
A person asked the Prophet (ﷺ) (when he had just put his foot in the stirrup): "What is the highest form of Jihad?" He (ﷺ) said, "Speaking the truth in the presence of a tyrant ruler".
[An-Nasa'i].
"
بارك الله فيك اخي ساجد و جزاك الله خير
Great Nasiha Saajid! Putting things into perspective. Very good yaa Akhi! Priorities Priorities!
I want people to be free but what works in the West doesn't work in the lands that have different social/tribal structures. I remember reading this in one of my political science textbooks... democracy doesn't work in the same way in those lands. Everywhere people rise up.. there is great suffering.... so yes the civil government falls and the bigger problem is the military are waiting pretending to be on the side of the people but really just waiting to take the same power they always craved... and what's left is the people.
Although your analysis sounds rational and appealing, it sadly isn't applicable to certain realities.
The Qur'an speaks of a similar story when a people had been prophetically ordered by God to take their rights by force, their answer was shockingly as such... Go (Oh prophet) with your God and fight, we are staying here.
Point is, if one does nothing to change, nothing will change. And dying with degnity is far more rewarding than living sheepishly and humiliated.
I understand the brother and his overall message is right to an extent. But the people are accepting the ruler and if everyone just focuses on them selves nothing will change but when people just focus on themselves and shut up of cause nothing will change and at the time when islam was powerful and dignified and even at the time of the prophet (saw), there were still people who didn't pray, there were still muanafiqun in madinah. But I am not saying don't focus on yourselves. Do that, focus on Tawhid and your salah and the basics and practicing. Never bilittle the basics but that doesn't mean you do one without the other.
Well said brother.
We need to learn our Deen.
Justice - The story of the caliph Haroon or Rashid
Name of a city in Syria RAKA From there, the letter came to the caliph Harunur-Rashid. It was written in the letter: City judge was sick for one month, the trial was stagnant. The Caliph is quick to arrange. The Caliph sent a reply to the letter. New judges will come next week. Within a week, new judges joined.
The trial started. Local guardians presented an old lady as a prosecutor in the court. His crime was that he was caught in a handkerchief while stole some bread and honey from a restaurant in the city.
Judge: Have you stolen?
- Yes.
- Do you know how big a crime is to steal?
- Yes.
- Why did you steal knowing?
- Because I was hungry for the past week. The orphan had not eaten with me. I could not bear their tired look and tears, so I stole it. I had no choice except my lord.
Judge now eyes the whole court. He said that the people of the city, the food, the Sharia, the police chief and the dignitaries of the society are present. Then the verdict will be given.
The next morning everyone appeared. Judge and in the due time, the verdict declared: "Prosecution of the stolen woman was proved to be 50 scales, silver coins of 500 denominations and one year imprisonment." But due to the truth, the hand cut was forgiven due to the truth. The judge came down with the instructor to bring the whip to the whip and stood beside the old woman.
The judge said that in the city where an hungry lady is forced to steal without food, she is the biggest culprit in that caliph of that country. And I have come here as a representative of the caliph. As I work under him, 20 sticks of 50 sticks should be killed in my hands. And this is the order of the judge. The order is to be obeyed and to punish me as a judge, there is no mercy or mercy.
The judge extended his hand. After two hands, 20 sticks were killed. The result of the whip injuries blew the blood from the hand. In that situation, the judge took out a napkin from the pocket. The judge forbids if someone approaches a judge's hand. The judge then said, "The town head, the food ware chief and other social activists can not afford to be filled with a lack of women. They and criminals in that city So the remaining 30 whips would be killed in the same way. "
Then the judge placed 50 silver coins on the handkerchief of his pocket. Then the judge said to everyone present: "The society that makes an elderly woman a thief, in the society where orphan children are fasting, everyone in the society is guilty. So all of them have been fined 100 pieces of silver coins. "
Now, the silver coins of 100 denominarily silver coins of 500 drawer silver coins are given to the owner of 20 stolen shops from the remaining 400 silver coins. The rest of the 380 silver coins told the old woman, "These are for your sustenance. And next month you will come to the court of the Caliph Harunu Rashid. Khalifa Harunur Rashid apologizes to you. "
A month later, the old woman went to the court of Khalifa; The person sitting in the seat of the caliph seems to be familiar. The women are afraid of the fear of going to the caliphate seats. If you can go to the person, that judge of that day. From the chair of the chair, Nemes said: "For the fasting of your orphaned two orphanages you apologized as a judge on that day." Today, we have called the court to forgive the rights of the Khalifa not to uphold the right of the people. Please forgive me.
BEAUTYFUL EARTH
Subhanallah . Allah forgive us .
Thanks for your input akhi. You say people are allowed to practice their religion in America, yet polygamy is illegal there. I'd like it if you could discuss that in a video.
He should say, you are allowed to only practice those parts of Islam which are in accordance with the U.S. consitution of the U.S. taghut founders.
Brother can you do a post on the whole Hasanat and Ummabdullah situation, your view point would be greatly appreciated especially from a scholarly aspect.
Such a sad situation is actually an Imaan Boost as well. Allah swt exposes the munafiqeen, in the past, today and in the future! It also should make you more independent, learn the deen and not rely solely on others thinking they are better than you because of how they look.
Hudhaifa ibn al-Yaman narrations sum it all up.
Alhamdullellah we are ruled by a just, kind and loving king in saudi arabia. May Allah bless him.
I agree with you
Subhan Allah, I just watched a video where the brother was commenting on Yasir Qadhi and other western duats' using the framework of the west i.e. science and liberalism to re-interpret islamic concepts and how that is flawed methodology. Now its seems he is doing the same with this question. I.e. applying modern 'nation state' concepts to the Ummah. Actually, the question itself is incomplete, its not about criticizing muslim rulers, its understanding what does Allah require from us in the case when islam is subjugated, our rulers are ruling by other than the sharia, when they are betraying the ummah siding with the unbelievers (to keep themselves in power), arresting and killing our scholars, and presenting awards to those committing genocides of muslims (like Modi). This is the real question at hand. The real fitna is kufr and shirk unanimously agreed by all classical scholars of the Quran. Did the sahabah understand the ayah " Allah does not change the state of a people , unitl they first change what is in themselves" as you have? Read the tafsir of this Ayah. Its unfortunate that duat have made this ayah into a manhaj, which is not even the meaning of the ayah.
Jazakallahu khairaa ya Akhi
Sir..... Define the 'Muslim rule', nothin is muslim about our leaders in the Muslim countries those days......
جزاك الله خيرا
انتقاد الحكام له طرق شريعة حتى لا يؤدي ذلك الى فساد اعظم
واهتمام المسلم بعباداته واصلاح نفسه خير من تقصير النفس مع انتقاد الحكام
كلمات موجزة ولكنها مهمة في وقت الدعاوى الى الفوضى في بلاد المسلمين
Alhamdulilah
Its sad to see how ignorant many people have become in some parts of the deen, especially those who studies abroad in saudi arabia. they have been fed with the talk, obey the ruler and dont critizise them. Now let me ask you guys, didnt umar ra get critized in the open infront of people. you know what the reaction was? do you think he said how dare you critizise me infront of the people? or you are now from the khawarij?. NO! he was instead thankful for it. you guys keep covering for these rulers even if they fall into shirk and kufr, you have been brainwashed.
Allah says : And do not incline towards the wrongdoers, lest the Fire should catch you. [Hūd:113]
Sayyidnā Qatādah said, it means, ‘do not have friendship with the unjust and do not follow what they say.’ Ibn Jurayj said, ‘do not nurse a leaning of any kind towards the unjust.’ Abū al-‘Āliyah said, ‘do not like everything they do.’ (Qurtubī) Al-Suddiyy said, ‘do not court the favor of the unjust through servile flattery (mudāhanah), that is, do not observe silence or show your approval at their evil deeds.’ ‘Ikrimah said, ‘do not sit in the company of the unjust.’ Qādi al-Baidāwi said, ‘following them in personal looks, fashion, and ways of living are all included under this very prohibition.’
dont take parts of the religion and leave others, Salam !
@Tawheed Promoter why do people with your view look at this verse but ignore the others? Even in the west, if the police break someone's back and IRS takes half your income, you still have to comply with authorities ("listen and obey"). That's common sense. The average citizen even here follows this hadith. That doesn't necessarily mean you can't replace unjust rulers or correct grievances in the right time and place - the ballot box, complaining to authorities, or legal means. Until then, yes, you listen and obey to ensure order is maintained.
O people of saudi Arabia
there are Muslims who would love to be in your beautiful land where no one can harm them just because they are Muslims where the Muslim women can wear her hijab or niqab and no one will make fun of her
where the people really care about their families
and protect their woman
for those who understand You are a blessed nation
ruled by the Noble Qur'an
and the sunna sharifa
holding on for more than 1400 years rejecting any sort of innovations for the religion to remain pure while the others have disobeyed their prophets
And changed their books by their own hands adding and deleting
I understand why there are so much hate and lies against you but I don't blame the haters if I were not a Muslim I will be very jealous of you
the are not calling you for something better than what you have they just want you to lose your religion
please hold on
we are so proud of you
and do not get sad for what you hear . always remember the verse
وَلَقَد
ۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدۡرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.
فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ
So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].
وَٱعۡبُدۡ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَكَ ٱلۡيَقِينُ
And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death).
may God bless you and protect you and your rulers and all Muslims
peace be upon you from your Muslim brother
Brother Saajid, may Allah-swt bless you and keep you steadfast on the manhaj of salaf-Ameen
Baraku Allahu fik.
It is over due for this Ummah to start looking in to it's so called rulers, as well as the learned scholars of our time. We must change ourselves but in fact the majority of those calling out these so called leaders are already those who are strict upon their Deen I.e practicing to the best of their ability, so I guess we can not reject this notion of calling out leaders in Islamic countries or speaking the Haqq because a few are not practicing well, and we mustn't reject the reality of this truth because of this small number(those not practicing well). However, all this 1st must be done with wisdom, respect of one another and the foundation of attaining this is to be brothers of Islam, loving for one another what we love for ourselves.
Saudi Arabia, needs to be rectified, it's government(monarchy) a taghoot, apostates from Islam, upon nifaaq. I'm not a takfeeri but simply saw in them excactly what I read, and I'm not the only one such as scholars who are imprisoned and many learned people, even kufar can see they have no loyalty for Islam. Just because a ruler allows the practice of Islam doesn't automatically make him a Muslim. But I'm not saying it has to be rectified as a whole because the harm is greater but in factors and many other things that are un-Islamic and injustices-that is better than overthrowing it. I focused on Saudi because Arabia(Saudi) is the heart of Islam and the Ummah, because it is where the 2 sacred lands are and where we began(Qur'aan and Sunnah)and think it is the base of our victory(bcoz all Muslims respect and love this country bcoz it's the heart of Islam and dominates other countries in the hearts of true Muslims), so if the truth is called in there(Saudi)the rest around the world surely would follow except a few. But this is from the Wisdom of Allah ta'ala. but some countries, at times, circumstances etc needs to be left alone I.e Sudan, Somalia as we have seen the result of Somalia; so long as the people are not called to shirk,fahisha and refuse of practice of their Deen but if they're called to that then that has to be addressed but in a peaceful way 1st, not violence and vandalism, and causing fitna bring harm to others and else.
Leaders are like parents, if they are upright then their nation is upright if they aren't then their nation is corrupt (except a few in both scenarios), like the Hadith of when the heart is corrupt the rest of the body is corrupt and if it is upright the rest of the body is upright. So we can not place All the blame on the general Muslims. We are a mess and we became a mess because of corrupt leaders and corrupt or silent scholars. We should remind them and I think in these times we should turn to the scholars and learned ones reminding them that there is a grave punishment in hiding knowledge and if they are cowards we will support them.
Having said the above, in a time of weakness we certainly enjoin the good and forbid the evil and do good; we must 1st fix the above saying with peace and wisdom, we have to bear in mind that the enemies want further disunity amongst the Ummah but yet we have to follow the 1st generations in how their loyalty was to Islam I,e the Shariah of Allah, not fearing non but Allah ta'ala and being as those whom Allah praised in not fearing the blame of the blamers .I have more to say but it's already been a long write. Wallahu A'lam.
Agree.
@Saajid Lipham, but the question is, do you want a bottom-up approach, or a top-down approach. I think you are advocatin the first option, but other groups they prefer the top-down approach, where they first control the state, then start educating the masses. Really, the second option is how any successfull country has done it in the past. You can preach all you want, but the faasiq will keep ignoring you and continue sinning, because your words are not backed by power, it is I think the unfortunate truth. The only ones following you for now, is those that want to become good Muslims voluntarily because their imaan is still intact, and they are "men of understanding". Then there is a segment of the population that is jaahil, and they only respect force (not vigilante, but state force, monopoly of the violence lies with the state).
MashaALLAH A very wise man
Loved it ❤️ Barak allahu feek
