Left Wing Or Right Wing, Where Does Islam Fit? With Abdullah Al-Andalusi

[@saidhashi2856]

Islam is not right or left; Islam is moderate path. "And thus We have made you a middle nation to be witnesses over mankind" Quran 2:143

[@snakejuce]

And we are def witnessing....witnessing all kinds of madness. That being said though, even non-muslims are witnessing, noticing, and "waking up" for lack of better terms. I find more and more people fed up with the current human condition, the current disparities, the ridiculous notions of "left vs right," and other such partisan ideologies. Interesting time to be alive.

[@AxmedBahjad]

@saidhashi, And it is thus that We appointed you to be the community of the middle way so that you might be witnesses to all mankind and the Messenger might be a witness to you.(2:143)

[@saidhashi2856]

@@snakejuce The witness reffered to, in this verse is explained by the following ahadith: Allah's messenger said: (A Prophet would come on the Day of Resurrection with two or more people (his only following!), and his people would also be summoned and asked, `Has he (their Prophet) conveyed (the Message) to you' They would say, `No.' He would be asked, `Have you conveyed (the Message) to your people' He would say, `Yes.' He would be asked, `Who testifies for you' He would say, `Muhammad and his Ummah.' Muhammad and his Ummah would then be summoned and asked, `Has he conveyed (the Message) to his people' They would say, `Yes.' They would be asked, `Who told you that' They would say, `Our Prophet (Muhammad) came to us and told us that the Messengers have conveyed (their Messages). Bukhari, ibn maja, Tirmidhi Allah's messenger said: (Noah will be called on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked, `Have you conveyed (the Message)' He will say, `Yes.' His people will be summoned and asked, `Has Noah conveyed (the Message) to you' They will say, `No warner came to us and no one (Prophet) was sent to us.' Noah will be asked, `Who testifies for you' He will say, `Muhammad and his Ummah. 'Wasat' means just or middle course. We are middle between Jews and Christians. Jews deny Jesus (nabi Issa) as the messiah and a Prophet. While Christians exaggerate his station and say He was God or Son of God. But Islam is in the middle. We say He was a messiah and a Prophet sent by Allah. So in many things we are between outright denial and exaggeration.

[@fasha7747]

Yes. Islamic Law is very situational, hence why Ijtihad is important. Umar Bin Khattab did this a lot along with Ali.

The middle ayah of surah Baqarah

[@lmnop286]

Very good topic to discuss. It should be reiterated Islam is neither left wing or right wing. Islam is Islam and is in it's own category. But we keep getting influenced by the left and right wings who try to dictate what Islam is or is not because Muslims have lost confidence in themselves and look towards the west for validation. I blame the loss of the Caliphate, the unifying factor for 1400 years, for that. This is Alhamdulillah changing as Muslims are rediscovering their heritage and their own civilizational uniqueness. Channels like yours help a lot.

Edit: As this seems to be one of the first comments, I will like to say thank you, this channel has provided so much that is useful in such a concise way. There are a number of videos I've saved for future reference. While there is a great number of people making good content, this place feels like one of my goto. Request, there is a channel called Persian Poetics, could you do something with them regarding Islamic poetry? Or Islamic literature? I feel like there aren't many people talking about this aspect of what we can produce as a cultural force.

I got similar impression about Jordan peterson. He doesnt really believe in God, but sees the importance of religion for human civilization. So He appeals to it even tho he himself doesnt believe in God.

[@idilhussein-ui5bd]

And his obsession with the superiority of the Western Civilization as if no other civilization can compare smacks of white supremacy to me. The Judeo-Christian term he keeps throwing around is the same term the right used after 9/11 to justify their unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He uses terms that for sure alienate Muslims. So it is no surprise why he would conclude that the Prophet is a warlord. It is the same old orientalist tropes used against Islam just dressed up in psychological babble.

[@asmaabdi1343]

Jordan does deeply knows the existence of God. He choice’s his own desires rather than committing to (Allah) God. He isn’t a good person to look towards or seek advice from. He constantly contradicts himself. He mocks Islam in one hand then complements us in another hand. Allah says it’s not that their eyes are blind, it’s the hearts that are blind. May Allah save us from that.

[@Dude0000]

@@asmaabdi1343 so he’s not a good person to look towards because he expresses the good and bad that he sees in Islam? How else are we supposed to get to the Truth if we don’t talk about everything and not just take the word of the ‘priestly class’ in this case Imams? That’s when religion by definition becomes a cult.

One day Prophet Muhammad PBUH), drew a line in the sand for them and said, "This is Allah's path." He then drew several lines to the right and to the left and said, "These are the paths [of misguidance] on each of which is a devil inviting people to follow it." He then recited the verse: 'Verily, this is my path, leading straight, so follow it. And do not follow the [other] paths for they will scatter you about from Allah's path. That is His command to you in order that you may be conscious of Allah' (Hadith by Ahmed). So there is no right or left path in Islam. There is only one straight path.

I had assumed they were just influenced by Liberalism in the past few decades. Interestingly, one of the main issues Conservative Christians have with Muslims is that we're not liberal enough.

James Lindsay talks about these things on New Discourses. Is what he says the truth? That these are the secret religions of the west?

[@losrajvosa0078]

There is no left or right or infront or behind in Islam. Listen to what Allah subhane te'alla seas about taghut in Qu'ran.

[@CG-zi5ku]

Islam is a religion not a political party. Islam is a religion based on 5 pillars of practice and 6 articles of faith. This religion including all its rules and ordainments was completed by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). There is no mention of traffic lights or speeding limits in Islam because traffic lights and speed limits pertain to wordly matters to be governed by worldly laws that are for humans to devise and enforce to all regardless of their religion, unlike Islamic laws which apply to Muslims only.

[@justsaying444]

The political ideology in the West is not traffic lights and speeding limits. This ideology has its implications on Muslims living in the West. Either you are unaware of these political issues or living in a cave. So, to be a part of these things will shape how much of our deen we can retain. We can not just hide in our houses and not know how to navigate in these times of uncertainty. So islam is much more than 5 pillars and 6 articles of faith. For me, it is how i view the world and live my life every day ,so these topics are important.

Islam was a political force since it's inception not only a grand religious one, your claim is not accurate.

@@justsaying444 Muslims living in the West are freer to practice Islam how they want than they would be in much of the Muslim world - where Muslims face oppression or discrimination if they are not in the right sect.

I am enriched having listened to this lecture. Thank you. These are subjects I have given much thought to. In my American opinion, the points on ideology categories are largely in agreement with my conclusions. To point out differences would be nit-picking. A statement on a side issue seems completely inaccurate though. The move toward women's' rights here in the US certainly does not make women arrogant nor does it make men arrogant in response. Those issues are part of normal political discourse here with strong beliefs for sure, but not arrogance. Arrogance is to "exaggerate one's own worth." We have a history here of White citizens claiming that Black Americans are arrogant who claim the right to vote, the right to an education of equal quality, the right to equal protection under the law. They were told that they should recognize their place and stay in it. They were told that they should concentrate on being righteous in life as they will be rewarded in heaven. The Muslim attitude toward women, as you describe it, rings with the same sound of cruel unfairness.

@@DePeaceHunter I have no idea where you got the idea that I'm saying holding to Islam makes you feel like a middle-easterner. In fact that's exactly the opposite of what I am saying. I specifically said at the end of my comment "middle-easterner" to differentiate between the religion and the culture! The content of this episode suggests that to stay true to your Islamic values is to reject both liberal and conservative values. I believe rejecting both, and walking on eggshells, even refusing to believe in concepts such as freedom of speech because it might be Haram to believe in, all that is worrisome and would lead to you living in the west isolating yourself from everyone and anyone that is not Muslim. The interviewee even suggested that "don't believe in freedom of speech, but try to use it to your benefit (with being very careful not to believe in it) and say "you guys believe in this concept, why are you not applying it" It's a long discussion that can take so many dimensions, but let's not forget the prophet's Hadith "Actions are judged my motives/intentions", if we truly apply this, then we would be able to be Muslims and still have a clear political stand in the west.

In other words, anyone who attempts to fix the prices will be opposing and challenging Allah in what He wills, and will most probably deny people their rights of raising and lowering prices, which Allah has entrusted them with. Then he said: “Indeed, I wish to meet Allah while none of you will have any claim against me for an injustice regarding blood or property.” This is an indication that what prevented him from fixing the price was the fear that he would wrong them in their wealth, since fixing the prices of commodities involves a sort of disposing of them without the permission of their owners, and this is considered injustice. However, if the vendors - for example traders and the like - agreed to raise the prices of what they have out of selfishness, then the ruler would become entitled to determining a fair price for the goods in order to establish justice between the sellers and buyers. This also conforms to the general principle of bringing about benefits and eliminating evil. If no agreement happened between the traders, and the prices went up only due to the high demand and low supply without any deceit, then it would not be the ruler’s right to determine the prices. Rather, he should leave the citizens so that Allah provides for some through others. Thus, it is not permissible for the traders to raise the prices over what is customary, nor is fixing the prices permissible. This is the proper understanding and interpretation of the Hadīth.
