Firas Zahabi - Khabib vs GSP - Is MMA Haram? - ReRooted 16

[@kukayaSA14T]

Khabib’s trainer Javiez is Christian, GSP’s trainer Firas is Muslim. This is pure sport😊

[@ElHytm]

Now let's mix them together in one ring 😂

[@mysticranger6894]

lol why do people always use bad english or grammar when using the pure sport line lol. "This is pure sport" no duntz, "This is a pure sport". But why is it pure?

[@omarmoataz]

@@mysticranger6894 "this is a pure sport" has a different meaning to "this is pure sport". You understand the first sentence correctly. The second one means that people give up all their prejudices in life for the sake of doing that sport and trying to perfect it. That's not to say that the sport is pure in the sense that it's clean, it isn't. The difference is subtle, I know.

Deep, humble, intelligent conversations. Great podcast. Im not muslim but i'm liking more and more what I see and hear from humble God fearing muslim people like Firas and Khabib, I feel very in tune with you both. Great examples to the world. GSP and Khabib are both my favourite fighters. 🙏

[@MrJothedon]

Daniel Grech hey buddy , Its such a breath of fresh air when people like khabib and firaz come about these are people striving towards the greater good educated people in Islam and are the perfect role models for the Muslim and non Muslims . They strive for the life they waY Islam has taught .

[@Sam-ng3of]

God bless you bro. If you haven't already I'd recommend watching the guy who interviewed Firas here too. His name is Mohammed Hijab and he has discussions on atheism, Christianity etc. you can check

[@danial469]

Thank you brother, I am telling you Islam is about being leveled, patient and self-controlled. It is hard to achieve and 99% of us muslims don't act like muslims or as we should. So yes Habib and firaz aswell because he is extremely educated all around are great representatives and there is no doubt they are the way they are because of the Islamic principles taught to them.

""The war of light and darkness sounds well but in this post-Freudian world men realize that the darkness ascribed to one’s enemies is a projection of the darkness in oneself that is not fully admitted. So in this way the distorted image of Islam is to be regarded as a projection of the shadow side of European Man.""

We definitely need more of this mentality. The part where he talked about you shouldn’t let knowledge go away from you, and knowledge is power. That’s there what Muslims need the most right now. Learn anything and everything, truth can never harm you. You’ll find people ( sometimes scholars ) trying to convince that learning philosophy is harm. others will tell you to not waist your time with modern knowledge. even worse, some people will tell you to listen to certain people, read certain books, and that’s it, you don’t need to learn more. And that exactly the mindset that brought the umah down. So don’t listen to them. Listen to that man instead. He knows how to build champions, and we need more champions.

@@gunmetal3104 I havent seen the video but here goes. In Islam the main problem with such sports is that it encourages attacking the face - the identity, dignity and honour of people lie in here so it's considered extremely bad to make bleed people's faces. Have a good one.

[@Cup.cake991]

@IFFI But bruva, the thing is the relevant hadiths does not contain any explicit statement to say striking face is not allowed, but rather should be avoided out of respect, making it makruh rather than haram. Furthermore, look at Sahih Muslim 4131 - this contradicts all the hadiths on hitting the face

[@Cup.cake991]

@Zaid Shakil Why does it not contradict anything? It clearly contradicts the second paragraph (tafsir) you presented, because the criminals' eyes were gauged out. I know it was for punishment, but if striking the face is haram (explained by the tafsir you mentioned), then why did our Prophet SAW do this, when there are obviously other ways and that the Quran doesn't specifically say to do this action? Perhaps it seems like you are just trying to justify reasons to ensure this remains haram. Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt, the hadiths (e.g the last one you presented), does not explicitly state it's forbidden, as I've stated before. Rather it just states the face should be respected and avoided, thus making it makruh?

It ISN'T just about the injuries sustained in matches (which might as well be inconsequential as he says) , it's about the repeated head trauma that contact sports players can sustain! Most professional boxers have some degree of brain damage, even if they don't exhibit symptoms just yet. MMA just hasn't been looked at as much as boxing, due to it being new and current practicioners just haven't aged enough yet. I really dislike this sugar coating when people's lives and wellbeing may be at risk. Also, I agree that we can't always know what's good for self defense unless we actually try it out, but there better ways for us to know.

[@azarovwraith6352]

tigerheaddude if there are better ways then please do list them

[@tigerheaddude]

Sparring is a legit way to know what works and what doesn't, fighting until someone is so injured to the extent of not being able to continue the fight or until someone is KO'd, (and that happens A LOT in professional fighting), and REPEATED max-power blows to the head are common place and encouraged, you can get similar results without having devastating effects on people's future lives...that is if the intent is actually to learn more about self defense and not for the fame or fortune. I love martial arts, but not the professional life of it where people are affected in horrible ways and no light is shed on what happens to them later on in their lives

[@dmaxdan8651]

That is simply not true. As for brain injury boxing is far more dangerous cause youre limited to head and body, while MMA rules allows all other targets. Time has nothing to do with it, like u proposed. And if u listened you would understand, instead trying to score points on matter. There isnt any other way to figure out if something works than to compete. Sparring is not enough and I´ll give you an example that you can not refute. There is a lot of traditional martial arts. They all learn and spar but they dont compete. Most of them dont work today. Wrestling, jiu-juitsu, boxing, muay thai, kick boxing and the rest of competitive martial arts work, why? Because they compete. And very rare fights are to the extreme unlike a picture youre trying to paint. There is nothing wrong with beeing famous and earning money, Look at Khabib example of beeing known world wide, earning money and what he does with it, similar with his last opponent Poirier. You are really trying to paint picture to justifiy your points making us look at it, as if its truth, which it isnt.

HII So go tell the millions of Muslim kids out there who watch khabib and other Muslim fighters and draw inspiration from them, and start training and gain confidence both physically and mentally that the sport that they love is haram and they should stop doing it

Mohammed Hijab, why can't you be like this all the time...... humility suits you better. Props on an excellent interview. Firas, major props to you, may Allah give you more. A blessed 1 hour of my time.

Of course it's haram anything hitting someone for no reason whether it's Muslim nor not, the fighters are aware of that, but that does not mean who does this haram it's not a Muslim. Everyone will be judged for his Own deeds.

@@Randomhandlename and you brother just became from those ignorants who blatantly give his opinion fatwas considering this sport a suicide!!! Do you know that if you pressure yourself to much in football your heart will beat faster and it may result in stopping your heart from beating so judging by your fatwa football is also considered suicide. Yes khabib may burn in hell for his OWN deads and the sport is haram but it does not make you disbeliever. Same as stealing or zina.

@@Randomhandlename I know the hadith you just not find the right place to put it into the real issue. Bc you are saying if I go to street fight and fight someone it's like commiting suicide Brother givetit a second opinion you are not okay with your brain. I have not heard a single sheikh giving this kind of fatwa, every sheikh I listen to said that this is haram not a suicide haram please don't spread false fatwas because nobody says this other than you. Stop giving blatantly fatwas. Just because there is hadith doesn't mean you can put it into NY situation and give fatwa out of it. REFLECT because you art going to be held account for this on judgement day and you haven't read a single book about giving fatwas but you dare to give this kind of serious fatwa. It's unbelievable the young these days.
