Every once in a while, it is a blessing to come across a mufti who won't bury you under guilt, fear and shame. Masha Allah, this was a very beautiful video. In a world filled with hatred, Allah has put a lot of love in your heart. May the Lord bless you. ❤️

May Allah bless you mufti. We should really tackle the issue of divorce. It should not be seen as a taboo.

Please discuss the LGBTQ and how we can embrace them as people, thanks Mufti Saab!

In Sufi Islam we have direct access to the Divine.If that is active,then we don't have to approach very imperfect muftis or khalifas for guidance.

Your last words in this video.. gems🥲

[@awakenedsight]

Sex is creation. It is the energy from which we were all conceived. The moment of fertilization instantly unleashes 70, 80, 90 years of creativity. It is sex that has created the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Gandhi, Eckhart Tolle. Sex is divine. Everything humans have created is first born of sex. Sexual desire is the energy of new life and love is the energy that sustains that life. Through sex, men and women are able to transcend ego, to rise above the challenges of life on earth, to touch the divine. But not quite, because it is a state that only lasts for a few moments. Sex provides us with only a glimpse, a temporary portal to heaven. Make friends with sex. Nothing is more natural, so enjoy it fully - but then learn to transcend the impermanence of sexual bliss or it will become an addiction. Move toward a more permanent, divine state beyond sex. Spiritual awakening is learning to exist permanently in this state of no ego, no time, union and creativity. We continue tomorrow and each day after that.

@@Your_Dad-f5z you see I'm at a point of my life I don't worry about heaven and hell as those are things we have no knowledge about beside what we've been thought whether you are Muslim or Christian. Who knows what is heaven or hell beside allegory explained in scriptures from a certain language that is hard to translate to another language. As you know when you try to translate for instance Hebrew to English, there wouldn't be enough justice done as language depends on cultures. Therefore why concern myself with heaven and hell when I'm on earth and all I know is about life and also the divine is the ultimate goal of all mankind yet we are here searching the divine trough sex, money or other pleasure and if we can't find it here we take it to the after life which is kind of crazy because if you are not supposed to be greedy here yet you take your greed to the other shore (hereafter) in which you will have women or houses in diamond or gold . Would that make sense ? I doubt it . So why be concern about heaven if you can attain it here . Why not try to achieve your ultimate potential ? Why not try to become the best version of yourself ? Why not be the human that God have brought here to help achieve the better man of mankind. So I'll end with this. One of Muhammad cousin, Ali says. There are 3 type of worshippers One who worship the almighty for fear of hell . This is the worship of slaves One worship because he want to go to heaven . This is the worship of business man And the other worship because the almighty is worthy of being worship . And this is the worship of a true lover . He is not expecting anything from the almighty beside the love between them . This kind of servant when he say oh my Lord . He meant what he says but the others are just saying it because of what they expect to get in return from the almighty He (Ali) also says God, if you throw me to hell and you are there with me , it is as if I'm in heaven but on the contrary if you throw me in heaven but are not there with me , it is as if I'm in hell . He was more concern about the connection that he has with the divine not the mere heaven or hell we are concern about.

@@Your_Dad-f5z you see we have th word of God, we have also what we think we know about the word of God and we have the truth of that word. You know if you study the Jews littérature you will be surprised that the Hebrew term Gehinnom became a figurative name for the place of spiritual purification for the wicked dead in Judaism. According to most Jewish sources, the period of purification or punishment is limited to only 12 months and every Sabbath day is excluded from punishment. After this the soul will move on to Olam Ha-Ba (the world to come), be destroyed, or continue to exist in a state of consciousness of remorse. Gehenna became a metonym for "Hell" due to its morbid prominence in Jewish religious texts, in addition to "Hell" having derived from Gehenna. Even if you study the new tastement they all refer to Gehenna as this place of damnation which is appearing also in the Islamic literature as " gehenamma ". As for your question in regard to worshipping a God that will punish people, how about asking to worship A God who created you and giving you life and bestowed upon you qualities that if you achieve you will be an ambassador on this planet . As for me I really don't think about heaven and hell as it's beyond my comprehension but I can for sure think about how I can be a better humanbeing ? How can I serve humanity ? How can I be a light unto myself ? How can I find bliss in this life ? Who am I ? What am I doing here ? What is my purpose in life ? In contrast to your question, it's more like saying I'm not going to be a citizen of a country that have jail and encarcerated people. Because Let's assume the almighty is going to punish people for fact, he is only punishing those that caused mischief on earth or injustice against other people . I don't believe God is there just to punish people for every little thing like drinking , having sex or those kind of silly doing . Infact I don't think God punish anyone but rather we punish ourselves . We live on a planet in which cause and effect exist . If you do wrong you only rip wrong and if you commit good you only rip good . Therefore if you throw a piece of rock above your head it will land on your head not on someone's else . So dear we should not worry about whether we will exist after death but rather if we can live before that cause that's all we know . That we are here now

sex before marriage is clearly prohibited though? very weird comment

[@awakenedsight]

@@yugeno there is no way in my comment i mention sex before marriage or after marriage . I would suggest you read it again and try to understand without bringing in your cultural mind cause it's not made for these kinds of teachings .

People should be able to enter or leave any relationship if they wish to. But whenever they do enter a relationship it should be a committed one not just for a fling

[@thehourglassfan3515]

Agreed.

[@johnfrancis5673]

Mufti abu laith, you have a really charismatic nature & extremely contagious laugh. However you also seem quite intelligent , which leads me to question , why do you stay a muslim? you must know that muhammad's behaviour is more akin the devil that the divine/holy?

[@johnfrancis5673]

@@MegaMucahid Of course, what in my statement led you to question this?

Totally not asking your question in a biased and antagonistic way at all.

Do you know our prophetﷺ⁣ personnaly ?

[@johnfrancis5673]

@@Royskip94 I know he worshipped al=lat, al-uzza & al-manat. I know ehen he was praying to pagan gods in the cave at hira he believed a demon appeared to him (tried committing suicide as result), I know it was hia auntie (& wife) khadija who did a strip tease along with waraqa who told muhammad it wasn't a demon but rather "jibreel" that appeared to him ie the 2 x people who never saw the demon are the 2 x people who said they knew who it was. Furthermore he married a 6 yr old child when he was 54 yrs old, he broke al the 10 x commandments etc etc which makes him a false prophet.
