The amount of wisdom in this short talk is unbelievable 👏 it's really a pleasure to listen to you imam Tom. May Allah elevate you
This was a mature, intellectually stimulating, spiritually enlightening talk. The Ummah needs such mature perspectives to unite us and help us looked pass and/or respect our small differences.
I love your stance, Imam Tom.
People just cannot be in the middle. They just want to pick sides.. and argue till the end of time.
So many topics was covered in this talk, very beneficial Masha’Allah.
JazakAllahumu Khairan. Very intelligent and deep talk on contemporary, hot issues
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!! (except the people in the back is me 😂) MashAllah what a gem, always learning something new and getting the reality check I need from Imam Tom. JazakAllah Khairan, and ameen to all of the duaas for you and the masjid
Assalamualaykum Sheykh, you should have millions of views. May Allah reward you for your efforts.
Keep these coming. Very beneficial.
جزاكم الله خيرا
Love this! Lots of food for thought Jazakallah
Alhamdulillah Islam is mercy and peace everything else is spread by bombs and violence may ALLAh protect us all AAmeen YARABB
Alhamdulillah for the Deen and the balanced middle way of life Jannatulfirdaus Aameen for eternity YARABB
I want to listen to this several times to learn well. Thank you. Such an amazing lecture.
Sheikh is clearly in the know when it comes to current subjects on Muslim internet, machaAllah.
So very true, and May Allah give us Believers the balance He wants for us, so that we are not blindly following some political herd without thinking or reflecting. May Allah accept your genuine and thoughtful Dawah, Imam Tom.
Holy Quran,Sura 5:77, “O People of the Book! Exceed NOT in your religion the bounds of what is proper, trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by,-who misled many, and strayed themselves from the EVEN WAY.”
May Allah keep giving you good speech and miracles in the family, and communities there. Ameen
Love this point that “Islam is the balance between authority and independence.”
(Ayatollahs are no examples of “Islamic authority” for us, nor are those of extreme arrogance anywhere-May Allah help our Ummah, and all people of Faith communities).
(These days, here, both Democrats and Republicans have tended to go crazy, with selective empathy towards some people of their own types).
“You got the wrong gang colors on.” Lol
“Use coherent and consistent principles.” In’sha’Allah
“Muslims are people who accept the truth no matter who says it.” Subhanallah
(One of the most intelligent qutbahs that I’ve chanced to listen to, and learned from).
By far the best lecture I have seen so far, on this crucial topic. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!
Nice mashaallah❤
Love this channel
Wonderful lecture, jazakallah khair! The videos are shared widely amid my youth group, and I'm happy to see youngsters eager to broaden their horizons. A bit of commentary, I'd like to add regarding Andrew Tate. While, yes, as Imam Tom graciously reminded us that a broken clock is indeed right twice a day - the way truth is utilized as an impetus for a platform is troublesome. That is the situation our communities are facing with figures like Tate and others (including the unqualified). Someone speaking truth to power amid a slew of the rest of their nastiness is not enough for our communities to vault that person into a prominence and influence. We have to be discerning in who we are willing to give positions of influence and valorize. Looking forward to even more great content, inshaAllah. Barakallahu feek!
Well said!
-Imam Tom
Thank you Imam Tom for this very honest talk and provide rational advices too.😊😊
I usu. called what you'd call as 'consistency' as 'trend' in a person that I interacted with(whether his/her behaviour and thinking trend is stable or not).
(now I know it's actually called as consistency😅)
It's refreshing and important to have a reality talk when we bring the contemporary events in the light of our texts.
Jazakallah, a much needed talk!
MashAllah. May Allah bless you and your family with good health and prosperity in this world and hereafter.
Brother Tom always giving us the best and most comprehensive understanding of the faith great vision.
His political science background surely helped him giving very well rounded massages.
God Bless
Mashallah, very sound, stimulating intellectual discourse.
May Allah bless you and protect you!
Good lecture Imam Tom 💯 may Allah reward you
Every Muslim should listen to this lecture and learn. May Allah bless you and reward you the ferdose.
Ive already heard about muslims who were involved in science hundreds of years ago. But after hearing your perspective, it has given me a new light realizing its relevant. JazakAllahu khairan Imam Tom.
Jazak Allahu kayren
MashAllah very beneficial! Allah increase you in knowledge and keep you steadfast.
Imam Tom im so glad i found you.

ALLAH RAZI OLSUN HOCAM.
It's a good discussion!
Every Muslim college student needs to read "Hadji Murat" by Leo Tolstoy and "Death and the Dervish" by Mese Selimovic. Bare minimum.
There were two main points that really resonated with me: 1) Don’t assume motives and 2) Don’t stereotype.
You see, the biggest split in the Ummah is the Sunni - Shi’a split and when you get to the root of things, the problem is with assuming motives for the first three caliphs and of course, anyone during Ali (RA)’s caliphate who opposed or even was neutral with him. You know the history. I don’t have to explain it here. Really, all the arguments concerning Imam Ali literally boil down to a) everyone hated Imam Ali’s guts and were evil or b) everyone was amazing and perfect and no mistakes were made, both of which are false and assume motives. You simply cannot simplify the situation down like that, especially something as intricate as this.
As for the second main point, it is that people stereotype. For example, the Sufis assume that the Salafis (not to be confused with Wahhabis, who I consider to be the more extreme variety) are all haters of the awliya’ and not just people that like the idea of using the Qur’an and the Sunnah as the basis of everything and the Salafis assume that all Sufis are grave-worshipping mushriks. Neither are true.
Moreover, people use these stereotypes to reject information which may be sound. And I have personally dealt with this, since my father, may Allah bless him for his goodness, does this a lot. I have been brought up and am personally very invested in the Sufi tradition, very interested in Ibn Arabi and such. However, if Assim al-Hakeem was to say something correct that I didn’t know, or an angle that I never noticed, I wouldn’t just say that he’s dumb and knows nothing. No, it’s “Those that listen to the word and follow the best of it; Those are the ones Allah has guided and they are the possessors of the kernel.” “Wisdom is the lost item of the believer, so wherever he finds it, he is entitled to it (or so the hadith goes).”
You don’t reject a person because they seem like one group or the other. You give each person a chance to express their opinion and you evaluate that opinion and accept it or reject it. However, you don’t use it to make a judgement about the person’s morality or goodness. You just don’t. And this is why I prefer Sunnism over Shi’ism. Sunnis just have a better sense of husn ul-dhunn. You assume good about a person until proven otherwise. You make 70 excuses for your brother. This is what I wish my father and people like him would understand. The world isn’t black and white, and people you thought may be black may have some whiteness in them, and you shouldn’t reject that because there’s more black.
Yeah, that’s really it. Thanks for the great lecture.

We need book recommendations ustadh
Could you do a review of Zahra Ayubi’s “Gendered Morality: Classical Islamic Ethics of the Self, Family, and Society”? I would like to know if it is a balanced approach or what the balanced position is
I'll try to eventually get around to it but honestly at first glance it looks like garbage.
-Imam Tom
@@UTICAMASJID Jazakallah khayr! I heard mentioned in one of the Islamicate Book Reviews by Usaama Al-Azami and Omar Anchassi (‘Wives and Work’ by Marion Katz). Both those brothers seem to be balanced in their assessment, however I could be wrong. Are you familiar with them?

❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Assalamu Aliakum! Brother, were it not the orientalists who wrote books with the aim of killing off the spirit of jihad among the Muslims and proving that Islam was not spread by the sword, rather that it spread by means of peaceful preaching, free from any use of force? They set a trap for Muslims and a majority of the Muslims fell in it. The answer to the question whether Islam was spread by sword needs explanation. If one answers that no it wasn't spread by sword, he/she would need to explain the letters and expeditions of Muslims in the lands of Syria, Iraq, Persia etc. When the Messenger called people to Islam, his call was accompanied by the sword, and he commanded his leaders to do likewise, so that when the people saw the serious of the Muslims in calling people to their religion, that dispelled any confusion.
The defeatists should fear Allaah lest they distort this religion and cause it to become weak on the basis of the claim that it is a religion of peace. Yes, it is the religion of peace but in the sense of saving all of mankind from worshipping anything other than Allaah and submitting all of mankind to the rule of Allaah. This is the religion of Allaah, not the ideas of any person or the product of human thought, so that those who promote it should feel ashamed to state its ultimate goal, which is that all religion (worship) should be for Allaah alone.
I hear what you're saying, but there is a layer of nuance missing from what you wrote. When orientalists say "Islam spread by the sword," they are talking about forced conversions, not what you are writing about. The expansion if Islam and the jurisdiction of Shariah of course is a foundational and ultimate goal.
All the more reason to be wary of falling into reactionary thinking. Just as it's wrong to say that Islam is only about peace in the way you are referencing, it is also incorrect to say that Islam was spread by the sword in the way the Orientalists meant it. Thus the importance of balance.
-Imam Tom
@@UTICAMASJID I am of your mind but my only concern was the "absolutely not" answer to the question whether Islam was spread by sword. Just to keep the balance and to not go on any of the extreme, I think it's necessary to explain the answer instead of replying with yes or no option. Either way it would be playing in the hands of the orientalists and misinforming the Muslims.
Thanks!
May Allah reward you
@@UTICAMASJID Thank you may Allah increase you in every good, ameen.
Brilliant
My brother, only beauty leaves your mouth
From anybody, May I know the title of the Books on Feminism referenced by the Imam
A Muslim is supposed as in Waajib 3ini to consult and following the guidance of a Scholar with authentic Islamic Sunni Scholarship affiliation sanad certification and authorizations ijaza one especially one who Allah has indicated to them to follow after having asked for his guidance on which one links them to the AhlusSiraat AlMustaqeem in this day to choose to consolidate Iman Yaqeen يقين, study Belief الإيمان وأصول وعقيدة أهل الذكر الراسخين في العلم completely, make companionship with صحبة him, and take after their decision and follow through properly.
فلن تجد له سبيلا
فلن تجد له وليا مرشدا
It is incumbent for every believer to find the present day way of the Prophetic ways to the Prophet Muhammad 3lyhisSalaatwasSalaam and the present day teacher/tutor
I agree
31:17 based on this, was brother Daniel Haqiqatjou criticism of the Saudi government for permitting haloween celebrations allowable or not?
I think you can benefit from Saajid Lipham's videos ..
What is wrong is wrong, and what is right is right- our Judge is governed by the Shariah.
Halloween is pagan practice. So it's a no brainer
To gather the people in enmasse and protest against the ruler is not from manhaj of the sahabah, making this form of protesting a bid'ah. We need a proof, that shows the Sahabah coordinating and then gathering, enmasse against the authority.
No we don't, since protests are not acts of worship but rather political tactics governed by maslahah. The burden of proof shifts to default permissibility until proven to contradict the shariah.
-Imam Tom
Lol first time i heard goofy sufis and naqlheads xD
15:00 post Christian
lol Bot licker or Khariji 😂
Sajid Lipham🥊 vs Daniel Haqiqatjou🥊
Dawah Wars - Season 2
🤣🤣 season 2 ,lmao
It's not funny. I feel bad for Saajid cuz he has been attacked by immature dagwah people whole year and then the Daniel thing started. But he is the one with knowledge I think others should have listened or resolved things quietly.
@@meruyertnurlybekkyzy3829 yeah it's a sad state of affairs. But regarding the situation with Ali Dawah, Sajid said himself that they want to reconcile, but anything said 'in public must be rebutted in public'. I thought he was a little strict/harsh too.
Allah does not love kufr and the kuffar. Allah's attribute of love "hubb" is causative, the shirk and kufr of the kuffar prevents Allah from loving them. Allah made following his Messenger as a condition to aquire his love.
Allah says...
Say, [O Muḥammad], "If you should love Allāh, then follow me, [so] Allāh will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."(3:31).
(Reference Ibn Taymiyyah's Sharh Aqeedatul Wasatiyyah, explanation of Shaikh Uthaimeen.)
I had discussions with a few people after this video was released, and I'll ask you as well.
There's no doubt that Allah doesn't love kufr or the kafireen. But we also know that Allah provides and has rahmah for all, upon the understanding that some rahmah is general to all Creation as opposed to other types which is specific to the believers.
Is it possible to have rahmah for someone and provide for them and not have any love for them? Or is love divided into parts just as rahmah is divided into parts, with some being exclusive to the believers and some being general for all creation? Is Allah's statement negating love for the kafireen exhaustive of all types of love or only the type of love that is, as you called it, causative?
Any sources you could direct me to would be appreciated.
-Imam Tom
@UTICA MASJID According to the book Three Fundamental Principles, explained by Shaikh Uthaimeen: Rahmah is general for all of Allah's creation, but Ar-Raheem, the attribute is only for the believers:
And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful (Raheem).” [Qur’an, 33:43]
Shaikh Uthaimeen mentioned in his sharh of Aqeedah al-wasitiyyah that some of Allah's attributes(love, anger, etc...) are causative. You would have to provide proof from Qur'aan, Sunnah, and/or ijmaa' that Allah "loves" the kuffar
Wisdom in this is entirely absent. Evil has no wisdom what so ever in it.
