Our guest this week, Dr Sohail Hanif, argues that we need to reconnect with not just our relationship with our umma but also have to reorient our lives to live like the murabitun of the past, those who saw themselves as within a wider objective of thinking about deen and the umma and their part within this rubric. In this endeavour, to change our mentality, we have to reconfigure how we view some of the fundamental Islamic ideas of zakat, ummah and jihad. Are we in the west manning an outpost of this umma. And has Gaza taught us a wider lesson about reorienting our mentalities.
Dr Sohail is the National Zakat Foundation’s Chief Executive. Prior to this, he held the position of Lecturer at Cambridge Muslim College. He also was the Head of Sciences at Qasid Arabic Institute in Amman. He has expertise in Islamic law, having studied extensively with traditional scholars, and holds a PhD from Oxford University.

Ya Muhammed Jaleel, may Allah reward you in this life and the next. Your channel has helped me find hope again. Works like these are extremely needed for our Ummah in these times. Is this the point in time where change happens? Is this the begin of our revival? Only Allah knows the outcome and we strive to be the vehicle for that. And that Allah may be pleased with our intentions and actions. Thank you Muhammed Jaleel may Allah be pleased with you. And if you see Sami again tell him to keep going, and that the youth stands next to him. ❤
May Allah accept from us all.
@@TheThinkingMuslimAmeen!❤
Reclaiming and defining the sacred vocabulary, hugely important. In these times language is being used to shift the narrative, manipulate, misappropriate. This was inspiring, thank you.
You are so correct, I actually forgot this was the very first point he spoke of - so important, so true. Thank you for reminding me ❤
Alhamdulillah. Definitely 💯
I strive every morning to wake up for Fajr to please Allah and struggle against my love for the sleep in the warm comfy bed and from there on the striving shall continue until the meeting of Allah inshaAllah.
What an incredible talk! Brought tears to my eyes!What a rich tradition!
Everything Br.Sohail has ever shared with public falls like rain into my heart. May Allah bless him, protect him, and grant him and all those he loves success in this life and the hereafter. Ameen
May Allah reward everyone who makes these talks happen. They help me to look at myself as muslimah from various perspectives and rethink my responsibilities. From Kyrgyzstan
Jazakallah khairan katheera. You bring great thinkers/ analysts to make it clear to us.
Salam what is your opinion of famous muslims being complimented by the ummah regardless of their modesty
Ufc footballers boxers etc
JazakAllah khair for such a well timed and important podcast!! ❤
The scholar is truly amazing and full of knowledge. May Allah bless him and bless ummah with his knowledge.
Please invite Dr. Nimr Ikram from EPIC Masjid community in Dallas. He is a surgeon and has been in Gaza and he wishes sharing his experience with more platforms. Jazakum Allah kheyran for this great Channel mashallah
How will that make you a person of consequence?
Jazaka Allahu khayran both for this enlightening and inspiring conversation.
So many concepts with regards to "the Sacred Laws" to ponder upon and refer to in making sense our presence in these islands at these times of many crisis.
"it's all about being purposeful..." We all have a role to play not only for the Ummah but for the bettering of the world.
Justice for all and justice for Gaza.
May Allah bless us and protect us all. Amin
Dear #TheThinkingMuslim, many thanks for bringing us guests that are so very knowledgeable and wise. Every week since I discovered it, I look forward to listen to this podcast- I particularly enjoyed the previous episode with Dr Yakoobi - as it always leave me full of hope and helps me to reflect on myself and my role in my own life and in that of my neighbors (family,friends colleagues, society at large). As I mentioned in previous comments, though I am a non-Muslim with some academic knowledge of Islam/Islamic history and culture, the majority of the subjects treated and the conclusions reached or the suggestions made do resonate with me, that is I largely agree with them. In fact, for the past month i have experienced the following: roughly for every time i found myself reflecting on a topic, that week’s podcast touched upon it! And I never heard anything banal or already known, but always very profound and honest considerations. Maybe, you may say, it’s God calling me towards Islam, I do not know, but I am thankful for this programme and for the speakers it hosts.
One consideration I wanted to make is that, though as believers you may have an extra “gear” that make you more consequent in your beliefs-action, some of what Dr Hanif says about jihad has already been treated in secular communist thought, for example Ernesto Che Guevara once said “The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. […] Above all, always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary.” This is jihad. This is to struggle for the betterment of mankind and to do so from a position of love and not hatred. That is perhaps why what he says resonates deeply with myself and my beliefs even though I am not a Muslim. Thus everyone has a duty to perform jihad in their daily life so to improve life for all mankind.
Having said that, I do have a few questions I hope you will be able to answer:
1) with regards to #Palestine, why is it that people less than 10 years ago were so keen in joining ISIS or those fighting against it, but no one and definitely no Muslim seems interested in joining the Palestinian (Islamic) Resistance to fight the Occupation on the ground today? Everyone is very concerned and talking on internet or demonstrating in the streets but I never heard of international brigades recruiting fighters to join the Palestinian Resistance (secular or religious as instead happened with the Kurds in Syria. Why is that?
2) with regards to #TheThinkingMuslim, since you are Uk based, have you considered doing a “live” event, like a conference or show on stage? I would really love to attend such an event! Why don’t you come to Edinburgh for the Fringe?!
3) Say I wanted to have my son learn about Islam, does he need to be of Muslim parents to attend Quran’s classes or can any(one) child enrol? (Again in the Uk/scotland).
Thanks very much in advance and best wishes for your work ahead. Allah Kareem!
No one can enter or leave Gaza. It is sealed off. When aid cannot enter. How can humans enter Gaza.
Really interesting and valid points you made there .. hope you find the right way.
Also anyone can learn Quran...lots kf online and inperson institutes. Try finding a local Sunday Muslim school for your son.
This is another excellent podcast from the Thinking Muslim. It sheds on a lot of light on how we, as Muslims, should be dealing with the world around us. May Allah reward both brothers on this podcast and the support team.
A great knowledge inspiring and uplifting experience, Alhamdullah I am So Happy to witness seeing and hearing you In my lifetime, It is the best news I heard these it give us a hope for the future . 👍👍👍
I’m loving the topics you are choosing. Very interesting and much needed for the rise of our ummah.
What pleasure to hear your latest Guest Dr Sohal indeed his vast knowledge & Best way to explain and make Revel ent in a such timely manner!
Assalamu alaikum - this is by far one of the most interesting discussions I've seen on Thinking Muslim - it will take me a while to get through this as so many points have been made - jazakallahu khairun Dr Sohail !
As always the best speakers have the least views, alhamdullillah for Islam available for all who yearn for freedom whether they are from the oppressed or from ivory towers….
جزاك الله خيرا
Salaam alaykum, thank you so much for your work, may Allah reward you. The thinking moslim is my favourite podcast. I'm a revert and i'm a stay at home mum of four children alhamdulillah. To have access to such information is so valuable alhamdulillah! It's so important in a time where the whole world seems to fall apart, especially for us as muslims as we see the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Gaza and the world's harsh reaction. Could you please do a part ll with brother Sohail? He's a great speaker, he did some lectures in Cambridge Mosque, they are very interesting as well masha'Allah. May Allah reward him and the thinking moslim team. Amin.
Wow! One of the best podcasts of the season. I honestly knew nothing about Dr. Hanif, but Mashallah, what a man of knowledge and wisdom. Keep spreading the good work Jalal bro, may Allah reward you for all that you do.
Great video !
Such an intelligent guest and such an intelligent discussion
This is very interesting. None of this is available so I will understand much more. I have passed the video onto a friend. I find the jihard in careing for parents gives a greater purpose in life.
Thank you. so interesting in relation to community and the importance of structure. Thank you xxx
All the Dr spoke of is true to the meaning of community - so much to hear and understand, i shall have to listen again and again, but from one listen i know that what he speaks of resonates with a core running through me which i have always been told is not typical... his words of explanation, example, rationale is of an innate common sense to me. Wonderful to hear, but i will listen again to see if i am hearing correctly.
Thank you for your work here, in love and peace 🙏
Masha Allah, I love Islam, Muhammed, Allah, Jesus, thank you very much for your channel ❤
Your interviews are so amazing. I grew up with two Muslim and a Christian friend. We enjoyed each of our traditions and shared meals. Our Muslim community in South Africa is very involved in community feeding and housing humanitarian efforts. And Dr. Suliman from Gift of the Givers has been active in Gaza.
As an apartheid survivor in South Africa, it's about understanding the mentality of the perpetrators...hence the Truth and Reconciliation Commission after apartheid. But what we see in Palestine is worse than what we experienced in South Africa (with all its horrors and losing my friends) Understand the violator.... .like we do with bullies at the school. Why do they do what they do. Like we try to understand why an abused wife who tolerated violence for decades, finally rebels and injures the husband. What are the dynamics? Why, why, why...then we uncover the actual problem, and can help resolve the conflict for all parties.
In my podcast with Zionist soldier I'm beginning to unpack this in the hope of shaping a better future for Palestine and Israel. Thanks for your amazing work. th-cam.com/video/BbLGYMbppJM/w-d-xo.html
Sorry not buying today
May Allah bless you both immensely. Jazaa-kAllahu khairah fid daarain. Must share this❤
SubhanAllah, Islam is such a complete and perfect way of life.
Assalamualaikum wbt. Excellent tazkirah. Really hit deep and recollect what have been learned but forgotten. Jazakallahu khairan. Barakallahu fikum.
Thank you for another insightful podcast - has me thinking :) and nodding my head in resonance. I have a question and some reflections (and this does not come from a place of judgement) Seeing as the Friday prayer is a prayer for men, I ask, why are women not included? (it seems to me it's more than a Friday thing, as far as men praying together and women praying separately) It feels to me that if the Prayer is Social/Unifying and if the Social is Political, (I 100% agree) then to integrate Women in the service would be more unifying. And if a practicing Muslim woman could help me understand this better that would be great. Also as a woman, do you feel less power socially and politically through a separate social prayer system? (ie, regarding community activism and organizing) I understand the role of protector/protection from the male view, but do you think this affects relationship in any way? Community and or personal? I appreciate this space and especially this podcast. Thank you. Also - jihad has a beautiful ring to it.
Friday prayer is compulsory for men and optional for women and men are strongly urged to play their other daily prayers in the mosque while for women it is permissible. The prayer at home for women helps to build the other pole of the community via a vis the mosque which are the Muslim households. Since women are generally the ones who look after children, the elderly and the household, it would be a great difficulty to leave them or get them ready to attend prayer five times a day. Allah Gives women their reward for her prayer at home like the men get their reward for joining the congregation. I enjoyed the interview too, really interesting.
Thank you so much for joining the conversation! Appreciate the info. Much peace@@saraharold3670
Great lecture. Learnt so many interesting facts. Have forwarded this lecture to many to benefit from
Love that... To bring back Harmony..❤
Jazakallah brother for another insightful talk.
Ma sha Allāh. JazakAllāhu khayr for clarifying and expanding the framework of meaningful engagement within our ummah.
I love it, thank you so much to both of you. We must live a purposeful and consequential life for the sake of Allah. It should not be about us and our egos but to truly serve Allah in the best way we can. May Allah guide us all to do our best 🤲
May Allah reward you and your guests, and may we all benefit from these valuable lessons. And also, I must say reading the comments of my fellow brothers and sisters is always a breath of fresh air, especially when I contrast it with other comments sections in TH-cam. May Allah bless you all ❤️
MashaAllah so many gems in this conversation.
Reading the comments makes me say this: Uhibbuka fillah Brother Muhammad ❤.
Shaykh Asrar Rashid's recent work Intellectual Intifada touches similar points. He would be a great person to have on as a guest
Great to bump into you St Pancras bro. Looking forward to this podcast
I think the world can learn a lot from Islam - I will!!
What a blessing. I was particularly touched by Dr. Hanif's conceptualization of the jihad doctrine and manning an outpost. Also a big fan of NZF!
You have to bring sahil adeem from pakistan onto the podcast - it's a must!
MashaAllah what an amazing conversation. thank you.
I encourage you to come speak in the USA our communities here really need togetherness
Great interview, may Allah swt bless you both. Please invite Dr. Hanif back for another interview inshallah.
This was a very insightful and thoughtful discussion. Much appreciated! May Allah reward you and keep up the good work!
Jazak Allah Khair to the honourable host for bringing a new horizon for people like us
May you keep on spreading beneficial knowledge
You introduced Sami Hamdi , a real light from during these dark times
If I were Japanese, and I convert to islam, is the Japanese convert permitted to maintain the traditions of Japan? Things like honoring ones ancestors, honoring the Kami spirits, revering the sacred Emperor? Is the Japanese convert allowed to consider the Prophet Muhammad a savage for eating with his hands and not chopsticks 🥢?
See our video on Islam in Japan with a Japanese Muslim. we answer all these questions

May Allah swt reward you!!! I think this is a brilliant idea and it brought to light the beauty of our religion in a way that’s not much talked about anymore. I think this would be an incredible benefit to us as Muslims and to our communities. It could help shine light on the beauty of Allah swts deen and inshallah grow the community. Jazak allah kheer
JazakAllah khair!
This was an outstanding episode
So beautifully explained in a simple way. Jazak’Allahu khairan both of you
JazakAllahu ghairan
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was sent as a messenger to humanity as a model human being. Malik, Mawatta, Ahmed, Musnad, and Mishkat al-Masabih report one of his sayings: “God has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners, and superiority in behavior."
Hmmm
Of all the lectures i have heard, this really elaborates the simple reason why anyone falls in love with Islam- the demand that it shd have great answers for all the issues and problems we see ard. The next question is how each amd everyone shd be enciuraged to be involved, rather than just complaining.
One question i wd like answered, is how we work with the xurrent nation states? When ppl talk of caliphate the stumbling block in s how can we go break these shackles down without demanding a personal sacrifice?
Masha Allah, lndeed we need to reclaim the narative. The nation state way of organizing a community has been destructive. We have the best alternative as an ummah to bring positive change to our nations. JazaakumuAlkahu khairan Brothers!
Jazak Allah khairan brother Jalal. These discussions are absolutely important. Great Kurdish scholar Said Nursi from the late Ottoman period he was asked about the future of Europe and Ottomans to which he replied that both are pregnant with the child of the opposite side and they will give birth to them. We saw the Ottomans giving birth to a secular state. Now it's the turn of Europe, inshallah. He saw the little signs 100 years ago. Your line of work gives us a stronger hope to anticipate it.
Please invite Dr Colin Turner of Durham University to your podcast. He researched Risalei Nur of the abovementioned scholar Said Nursi and his faith renewal movement in Turkey. Said Nursi has a lot to offer since he lived through the collapse of Ottomans and he established a Islamic faith revival movement which is spread to all over the world.
Thanknyou Thinling Muslim for bring Dr Sohail. Hes words and thinking and logic is soo good. His logic is like fitting the few jigsaw puzzles to islam/jihad/life/ ummah in the right places for a person like myself who is looking expand my knowledge personally and for my child nurturing whilst living in a country like England. Thank you❤
Surely mankind is ungrateful to their Lord…
“If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate and ungrateful. But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say: “My ills are gone” and become totally prideful and boastful.”
(Quran 11:9-10) 🤍
Jazakalah
Thank you for what you do brother Muhammed. Great show, always an increase in knowledge for me. May ALLAH Subhanahu Wuta'ala bless you & brother Sohail greatly! Ameen! ❤❤❤
I love this show.❤
brother jalal nice to see you i thought it was you
nice days in college bother over 25 years ago
MashALLAH Allah bless you effort for his deen Ameen

Extremely informative. It makes me think about why Zakat exists.

JAZAKALLAH AL KHAIR MY BROTHER FOR THE KNOWLEDGE
FREE PALESTINE 🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼
The inclusion of a holistic understanding of Jihad in this topic from a scholar with a non-Salafi/Wahhabi-influenced background was amazingly refreshing and welcome.
However, having lived for some years now in Muslim majority lands, I am concerned at how the deteriorating conditions here are directly linked to globalization - an intrinsically exploitative, corporatist global economic/political system.
I wonder if the classical shafi’i jurists mentioned as having permitted Muslims to move to non-Muslim lands and permanently settle there would have done so in the global political and economic environment of the 20th and 21st centuries concerning Muslim economic migration to the West. The world was a very different place back when they were giving their rulings! And should we cling to minority opinions on issues such as this?
This began as a promising, eloquent, very personal expression of a realization that a deep understanding of classical Islam urges us to reclaim and truly own all aspects of our tradition. I think there may be more scholarship and thought needed before final conclusions on practical implications are reached.
You raise a valid point which I think the host touched on lightly towards the end. Most certainly this needs a much more in-depth consideration by those with knowledge.

It's not easy to channeling zakah abroad from an interested muslim to his or her needy Muslim brothers abroad. Please let's know hiw to channel my zakah to the needy in abroad.
Jihad is a war against tyranny against freedom... the Quran said la ikraha fiddeen... there is no compulsion in the teaching of Islam and all mankind are guaranteed freedom by their lord including the freedom to believe in Him or not... therefore a Muslim must fight tyranny whereever they maybe,, be against their own fellow Muslims if those Muslims force others to convert to Islam...
false
@@respond2meifudare read your quran,,, dont be a happy head chopper....
False, once more western liberalism has infected deep aspects and virtues of Islam. It's not about Freedom, it's about submission to Allah's will. A heretic or apostate can be "free" selfishly. Are you now going to tell me that the conquests of the Rashiduns were against Islam?
@@zatoichiable kaffer?

Will you invite Omer Suleiman and Nouman Ali on your channel?
Without jihad Islam is useless and fruitless because without justice peace is impossible and establishing peace seek sweeping away unharmonious elements. Allah o Akbar.
It is not only Jihad ,because there are different froms of Jihad.
Muslims must be United and established the Khalifaat that is the Command of Allah Almighty in His Holy Quran and Sunna of the Holy prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu alayhi wa ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam, and make Alliances with those who don't hate Muslims, and that is not the Western Zionist Judeo-Christian unholy alliances.
Muslim must built themselves up militarily , economically , socially etc, and then when Muslims are doing Jihad , like what is happening in Gaza ,the Muslims can continue to be a strong resistance against the Western Zionist Judeo-Christian unholy alliances.
But now Muslims must go to the very same Zionist Judeo-Christian unholy alliances who has established the UN, ICJ, VN , USA ,UK, etc begging them for help.
They will never be in fevor of Muslims.
Shaykh Imran Hosein has written his very important book "Jerusalem in the Quran" some 20 years ago and until today Islamic scholars has not respond to his book adequately..
When will the Islamic so-called Arabs and non-Arabs scholars , political leadership, Royals, and Muslims wakeup ?

Thanks for the insight. How did the concept of Jihad become a war cry to kill pple of other religions? Shouldn’t the thinking Muslims try to correct that impression?
Christians also are not to fight physical wars. Jesus taught to turn the other cheek, to love our neighbors, i.e.ALL humans as we love ourselves and to love even our very enemies. If Christians followed the teachings of Jesus Christ, Muslims follow the Q’ran, and Jews the Torah, where they were taught by God through his prophets to treat strangers with much kindness, what truly beautiful and peaceful life we would have.

Yes he is.

There is no Caliphate or Imamate! Ummah is not a political concept. We need democracy and basic human rights for Muslims and non-Muslims.
This constant invitations of hizbat-tahrir sympathisers and repeating their slant. It failed in Egypt with morsi, it failed in Algeria and in other nations.
Why dont my brothers; particularly the host Jalauddin Patel, ex leader of now banned UK terror outfit Hizb-ul Tahrir, give up the comfort and luxuries of living in the Democratic and Secularr values and move over to a truly Islamic state (may I suggest Afghanistan) before influencing ordinary peaceful (but gullible) Muslim citizens in UK and West to strive for a Caliphate to better understand firsthand the quality of life under a Sharia stste. This can have dire consequences for them and those around them as is clear from ISIS experiment about which people in general are very sensitive.
The conversation seems to have touched some deep spot, isnt it. By the way ISIS was never representative of Islam, who knows them better than they created and planted. As for yourself , how about you travel to a truly secular land like the Israel and India for that matter, truly safe and peaceful places.
@@banabozo
It is not for anyone to say what ISIS represented; the right belongs to ISIS, and they claim it is Islam, and back it up by doing everything (in the Name of Islam) and quote the scriptures.
As it happens I have lived / travelled and while they may not be my ultimate choices on the subject; are certainly better than at very minimum Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Djibouti, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Palestine, Gambia, Comoros, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Iraq, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Lebanon, Mali, Egypt, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Uganda, Yemen; 35 out of 50 or so Muslim majority countries
Yes such conversations do stir my pity on the acute blindness of Religious Ideologues (most commonly afflicting Islamists) to see everything from Religion’s POV and their need to infect the whole world.
