18:00 real khilifa was only khilaf ul Rashida, other was only monarchy and unIslamic. we want of Khilafte Rashida.
I don’t understand the propaganda with brother hajj and yasir qadi on their anti khilafah movement!
You guys have don’t multiple videos on this since the start of the Gaza genocide
If the Muslim want it, then who are you guys in history of our ummah to divert them?
I hope the western governments don’t have any leverage on you guys
neo-liberal economic framework is what the Gulf states instituted. Well we know what happens in dubai stays in dubai, dubai simulates the same ideology as the sin city, Las Vegas were everything is commodified and is for sell, dubai has become the playground for the rich and famous. We know what that entails, the constant supply of IG models for their entertainment, this models come back with a bag full of dirty money. What do the Gulf states call this neo-liberal economic framework, they call it economic diversification because they are worried about the impact of oil revenues drying up in the future. Most of this rulers are in power not in mutual consultation but as monarchs, they are worried if they don't have the funds to run the countries from oil revenues they will be thrawn out as people's means are constrained, so they adapt the neo-liberal economic framework to plugg the whole in their narratives of the will to power by bribing people with freebies.
So İslam was not modern now we modernize it it was iş and Will be same İslam forever
The Islamic Knowledge is inherited initially from Prophets, then from Saha as and then from scholars(who inherited from right people). It is not learnt/inherited from books/lectures. Check these Sheykh where and from who they have gotten the knowledge. Having the degree in Islamic university doesn’t mean he is the scholar. This “Sheykh” has different understanding of Hadeeth and ayahs on which he has no proof.
Stupid idiology in the earth
ISTIGHFAR TAHLIL TASBIH TAHMID TAKBIR
الله أكبر
Takbir = Allahu Akbar
الحمد لله
Tahmid = Alhamdulliläh
سبحان الله
Tasbih = Subhan Allah
لا إله إلا الله
Thalil = Laa ilaha illa Allah
استغفر الله
Istighfar = Astagfirullah
La ilaha illallahu Mohammadpur ros ull ula (s:)
"Consult the people", but the people whose advise were sought were islamic, respected elders or leaders in the community, not everyone above 18 who are eligible to vote like in demo-crazy. Look at Australia, democracy, but both parties are filled with unjust racist genocidal supporters.
Jazakumullahu khairan, from Idlib, Syria, the land of Jihad
Modern and islamic don’t go together. Is an oxymoronic phrase.
The khilafah was only during the 30 years after the death of the prophet (pbuh). All the others were kings of various dynasties.
Please have mercy on people that dont know Islam very well. He speak so many words i dont understand.
Nationalism was stablished as a means to control the masses.
May Allah allow us to understand our real Identity which is not the Masonic Secular Colonizer who created frontiers and nation-identity like Egypt-ian, Marrocc-ian, Pakistan-i, Saudi, etc. We are MUSLIMS, this is our identity. We are Muslim; The One who Submit to Allah, the Quran and the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws). May Allah give Unity to the Ummah of Muhammad (saws) and Grant us Victory and Success both in Dunyya and Akhira.. Laa Ilaha Illah Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah
A government that America is happy with is NOT Islamic.
Wonderful podcast in Australia that’s been enjoyed in UK. Great to hear vital topic of ummah unity being addressed by both the brothers in a way that was objective factual informative yet not critical of individuals or groups. Great example of building unity. Allah bless you always. 🤲🏻
There's absolutely nothing Islamic about what's happening in Syria. Where are we told to cede territory to the enemies of islam? Never and never will we be taught such deviance
❤ love this!
Great Work OnePath and Great Scholar Dr. Hatim! Ma shaa Allah :)!
Allah bless you
After chopping thousands of head they become modern islamic??
They are Israeli soldiers
And guys talking about with pride really make never listen to any imam or scholar's
Because you all side with murderous head choppers and all khawaruge
Taliban in Afghanistan killed and behead thousands of innocent muslim and children now you guys call them liberator now these Israeli soldiers who beheaded thousands of innocent muslim becomes modern islam
I'm a medical doctor persuing BA islamic studies need his guidance , can you put me through
Misleading scholar, Jizya is a hukm of Allah to take a sum of amount from the the non-muslims who live under the rule of Islam, this scholar says that "currently we are having a contract, we are having a contract of having equal rights," who have given this right firstly to you and secondly when you don't have islam implemented upon you, about which contract are you speaking. May Allah expose the scholars who are misleading ummah in this world and in the hearafter as well.
i cant find halalmoney as an application on apple, im from austria
Rasulullah s.a.w said Islam began as something strange and it will return to being strange, so glad tiding to the stangers. The muslim world getting sent back to the beginning of Islam the muslims are growing phase grassroots establishing institutions. Substance will take place before form. I agree with the shiekh.
lol bro trying to get rid of jizya, shiekh hatem I respect u but ur wrong
Israel has built 7 bases in Syria since the fall of the Ba'ath government. The new government has not said a word or fired a bullet against the Zionist occupation forces.
People. Please learn your 4th Branch of Ad-Diyn properly.
A lot of people are setting themselves up for a disappointments.
I cant even look at this people. Liars and barbaric
"The Imam has the right to cancel Jizyah" – enuff said…into the dustbin of modernists you go.
Salam to all my brothers and sisters of our Ummah, please make Dua for me, I'm going through something 🤲for the sake of Allah. Jazakumullah khayran 💚💚💚
May Allah Accept your works, and make it a means of acceptance and Guidance for the Ummah!
جزاک اللہ خیرا
Great interview may Allah spread its good messages. Would love to see a deep delve into the counter opinion of advocating for making hijra to Muslim lands. Twenty two percent of first generation leaving Islam with all the horrors of this statistic may give some sense of false security to the remaining seventy eight percent. Would be interesting to look at a more granular statistical data on the level of practicing of those who continue to identify as Muslims.

Democracy is sovereignty in the hand of the people. Khilafa is sovereignty in the hand of Allah.
There is a huge difference.
We can say that the rulers of syria are using the system .. n we can debate if it is permissible or not. And we can even say it is permissible to deceive your enemies with the intention of implementing Charia . As they say « war is deception »
We have in islam baiaa , giving allegiance to the khalif. Which is not giving by literally every single one in the country.
It is needed to be given by Ahl Lhal wa laqd , translating to « People of solution and contract » which are the elite group of muslims .. schoolars .. leaders.. projects owners .. notable families.. .. in the modern world we can add teachers.. doctors .. engineers..
but all those who are needed to give this allegiance are muslims.
In the case of syria.. adding non believers to the matter is no islamic.
We can be very welcoming n optimistic about the syrian government . But to make us believe it is any close to the righteous caliphate is misleading.
Can it lead to something closer to that in the future? Yes InshaAllah. We hope the best for them. N may Allah help them ruling Syria
Al Hamdullilah my country is a kingdom
Looks like the name of Khilafah is being used to… to validate Democracy? 😮
Is electing a ruler the same as creating laws? 🤔
There are already these jokes of 57+ Nation State. Many of them tried implementing Islam through Democracy and became failed states. There are many stable countries why can't establish the Islamic State. Rather they are going downward by signing Abrahamic Accord.
Asslamalikum . Allah knows no one else knows it’s too soon to say anything. Don’t roll out your productions what’s gonna happens I don’t know, You don’t know. Just give it a few more days before concreting things. Inshallah
