[@diam8829]

Salam. I’m a woman watching this and thought this was a great video. As a worker in the community, I would like to say beware on statements such as ‘with Muslim women we don’t have to worry about low body counts’ as it indicates high body count muslims (applicable to men or women) wouldn’t do that, or that the past can’t be cleared for those who make tawbah - neither of which we have rights to say. Perhaps add ‘practicing’ if you feel the need to speak on this. The continuous concern raised among students and youth is that these movements entice anger and create black or white views of Muslims to continue keeping them divided and ultimately single + judgemental, where Allah has placed forgiveness and tawbah.

[@supawithdacream5626]

Allah may forgive a man's or woman's promiscuous past but humans aren't so reluctant to do so, infact we much rather align ourselves with those whom share the same beliefs as us

Thanks for the insightful discussion. For all my sisters out there, I believe talks about masculinity do not only teach us what to look for in a husband, but also what values we should seed in our children. It is also the duty of the muslim mother to get educated on these topics in order to raise our children and next generations of this Ummah on the right islamic values. May Allah guide us to useful knowledge. اللهم انفعنا بما علمتنا و علمنا ما ينفعنا.

[@tifawt3736]

Should you not understand WOMEN instead of dismissing women. No efforts is made to connect with women who are much more evolved. It makes zero sense for women to dumb themselves down for men, it’s unnatural. This is why we’re in this mess in the first place.

[@DaveFloJr]

[@matthewzavadil]

Wonderful interview, may Allah (SWA) reward you both!

[@DoeBoyStrength]

This is my first year practicing Ramadan. Last summer I decided to start reading Quran (English version). The more I learn, the closer I feel to Allah. I want to be around a community of Muslims to strengthen my iman. I want to check out a masjid but for some reason I feel so intimidated to go to one. Any tips? Any encouragement is really appreciated. Alhamduililah 🙏

[@SokhnaRahma]

Salaam, maybe I’d recommend going to dhuhr salah (not many people generally do to work) and fajr on the weekday as people will go to work after. Going to Isha prayer generally has bigger crowds at places and on the weekends (Friday and Saturday). Depending on the community, some mosque are open outside of prayer, you could go to do Sunnah salah there/read just to get more comfortable being there. Look online if they have any group chat, there’s generally brothers/sisters/youth group but sometimes the WhatsApp’s QR codes are only posted at the mosque. Mosque generally have halaqah programs and courses throughout the week you can also join (mostly free!) Pray this helps!

Never gonna happen. It was narrated from ‘Awf bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: “The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy in Hell. The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise. I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: “The main body.” Sunan Ibn Majah 3992

[@suzukigsxfa9683]

Married. Never dated her. Looked once, very minimal talk. 3 kids. Divorced after 25 years. Feminism. Alhumdullilah 🤲 bad woman.

[@SanaAhmed]

I won’t defend feminism and that meaning needs to be broken down with context. But islamkcally, husbands and wives are a team. There’s a whole generation of trauma where men weren’t taught to help women at home and the women were assimilated into men’s responsibilities too. Then the whole Islamic courting is so misunderstood because so many south Asian parents don’t let the spouses get to properly talk to each other and understand their preferences. Islam is liberating but culture holds us back big time.

Within my family circle daughters were sent to work to become the financial breadwinners & retirement fund for the parents. Leading to social oppression some forced culture marriages to keep the money within the family While the sons money went towards themselves boys only vacations expensive cars, clothes lavish bachelor lifestyle Parents/ sisters took care of all the adult responsibilities groceries bills rent cooking cleaning maintainer of the family home This plan backfired on the brothers now they have choose to marry they expect the wife to cover the mens Islamic rights work provide ect additional to doing the house chores All by themselves juts like mom/ sisters did The brothers are going through domestic issues in there marriages all because parents never taught the how to be man and take responsibility within Islamic law Making them feminine childish and completely disrespectful

[@hamidujalloh478]

As a Sub and fan of this channel it really bugs me that as a host you dont shed lights on the struggles and challenges of fellow muslims in AFRICA like you do for Palestanians and the middle east. Its hypocritical of you to be biased when it comes to your fellow humans, the life of those muslims in those countries are as valid and equal as of thodse in Palestine....

[@Freetoughts]

Salaam aleykoum brother, as a African muslim myself I hear your frustration but try to give the host decent naseeha as we should. Maybe he is not aware or biased. It’s a human thing. Write him an email about out African brothers and sisters. Maybe he can invite someone to talk with about the struggles they are facing.

[@mariamasum4191]

I need an advise a non Muslim would like to marry a Muslim sister so he accept converting to islam the sister is happy but worried what if someday after years of marriage he covert back to his religion there would be no way to back off cause kids would be involve so what advise can anyone give to guarantee this guys conversion as an intention but not for the woman purposely or love cause it might fade away we don’t know?

[@wawaweewa9159]

Don't marry him.

[@SanaAhmed]

@theansaripodcast can you please clarify Sheikh Abdullah’s stance on zabiyah vs halal and yours? I’ve been taught zabiyah halal meat only , no exceptions. But it sounded like from what you said about halal, you define it as no pork plus non halal meat like fast food meat like Chick Filet? I’m genuinely asking because there is are Hadiths and sayings from the companions also saying if you want your prayers to come true, take care of your diet. I cringe at vanilla extract too because it has alcohol in it. I didn’t catch a complete explanation from Sheikh Abdullah or you .

[@NewBeginnings2.0]

Loool we only know Ratatouille 😂

Halal means permissible but that doesn’t mean it natural or organic

What happened to sitting respectfully and interacting. Yaqeen does that with the women speakers. Come on folks . It would be great to get her perspective .

[@bassinblue]

It's becoming hard, but nonetheless we are men and must work hard. There is no other option, even animals have to work (hunt). I will say to my brothers, please be careful, especially if you life in the west. You must KNOW and find out about the woman you want to marry. None of us are perfect, but stay close on your deen, work hard, stop the stupid spending on meaningless things and Allah will guide us.

[@SanaAhmed]

But I will say I feel the same way about men too. I’m finding men that don’t save themselves for marriage but will reject a practicing Muslim woman and look down on her with no hijab. Understand the Muslim woman’s perspective too in the west.

[@StaminatorBlader]

just watched that khalid yassin clip that was recommended and as a muslim i gotta say this is a very old and very misguided argument that comes from a utter mistunderstanding of basic scientific concepts. "something exists and is complex therefore god". completely illogical and a gross simplification of the processes that god works through. probably also an evolution denier which you can only be if you never genuinely educated yourself on the factual theory of evolution. when you deny a true fact of gods method that is 100% proven on the basis of ignorance, you might as well deny god himself. i also believe that it misconstrues the meaning of the quran verse, which is referring to those signs being present in the inner aspects of things, not in the outer superficial complexity that that guy misunderstands. this is an attempt to argue in semi scientific terms and with faulty "logic" to prove something that can only be perceived through faith, someone who has faith will see gods light absolutely everwhere, but something merely existing and being complex in absolutely no way logically necessitates god. the attempt to mix metaphyiscal and metaphorical sight with evidence based science can never succeed and will only result in the dilution of both.

[@SanaAhmed]

I need an explanation on this too from Sheikh Abdullah and Yaqeen because it was left unclear. I’m more for the zabiyah halal way as I see that as a complete process for halal meat preparation. Plus halal meat stores are common so why would you go zabiyah only?

[@talharahman1980]
