A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.. The Deen of Islam is based on being honest as possible and not promoting enemies of Islam like Trump who has Jill Stein on his payroll to divert votes from Democrats..
May be, but on the wrong side of the political scenario. This 3 party endorsement is to marginalize Muslim votes. It would render no voice or weight to Muslims. It's a suicidal option to vote for 3rd party. Howmany Senators and Congress persons does Green Party ( 3rd party) has? Waste if vote and discussion in voting for green party. Gaza and WestBank, whatever the Palestine was , already destroyed, Trump can't do any worst. Vote Trump to defeat Harris. Do not waste your vote otherwise.
Telling muslims to vote according to their emotions and throw away their vote instead of voting strategically is wrong. The lesser of two evils is an intrinsic part of Islam, i.e., Hudaybia.
Vote for Dr Jill Stein. She won't win, but voting against 'dumb' on the right and the 'idiot' on the left will still send a necessary message to the political arena. Hopefully, decade later things will be lot better.
What a treat to watch this podcast and learn Imam Walid’s point of view. JazakAllah Khair for asking thought provoking questions. For muslims neither candidate is an option - Democratic Party has always taken minorities & Muslim voters for granted. So this is a good election year to show our strength by voting for the third party. In next election cycle both parties would remember the minority voters they have always neglected.
The last bit about the generation that gave the tarbiyah that raised the generation that liberated the land of Al-Aqṣa moved me to tears! God bless Imam Dawud Walid and preserve him to keep teaching, āmīn 🤲🏼
One of my favourite episodes of TTM! Imam Dawud is inspiring and his insights revealed for me the nuances of the political landscape for Muslims in the US. Great work Br Jalal
Wow, brilliant insight ! Finally an African American Imam who has the following 1. Isn't Wahabi 2. Has a background in the traditional sciences 3. Hasn't forgotten that he is BLACK 4. Great Political insight ! May Allah continue to Bless him !
can you do a video responding to Mehdi Hasan’s video on why voting for 3rd party is “pointless”. Someone, a close muslim friend sent it to me and said “voting for Kamala doesn’t mean we don’t care about Gaza or that we are bad muslims, its just a different strategy.” it literally ruined my day…. 🥴There was so much wrong with his video I couldn’t stomach it. edit: I will probably never vote democrat again in my life. I regret that I ever did.
I will never and I should have never voted democrat I regretted that I ever did ( not that I agree with the orangatun on the other side ( sorry orangatuns I know it’s an insult to your kind ) America is finally becoming a victim of its own greed
I am a Canadian, a Muslim, but I think I have a duty to speak the truth, to the Muslims of USA . Please rise above the so called the notion of the west of dividing unity of the Muslims as a whole by branding us by sunni, shia, black, white, yellow........ We are Muslims and we have to stand before our Lord on the day of Judgement to answer the question...what we did when our fellow Muslims suffered Genocide in Gazza ??????? Perpetuated by Israel and their Accomplises....... Please take the just direction / decision in US election. Dump both the parties..... Bring a third into the equation.........for Balance. Barak Allah fee......
As A Texan Ottoman, I salute you, these VOTES will be their demise. If you don't want to be in the divided Muslims section, don't vote in this country and keep yourself and family fate safe. You were warned all those years and now Biden erected a 90ft tall HALF GOLD MONKEY HALF HUMAN IDOL, a referance to the Babylon, in my home town.
Just to add, as muslims we are obligated to stand up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves, irrespective of faith. Palestinians happen to be largely Muslim but this is a wider issue of the west attacking nations that happen to be muslims for resources or land. It has to stop.
You are right. Genocide is the worse. Quran says even if One innocent is killed as if whole humanity is killed. Israel can’t get away with it no matter who supports or not support genocide. It’s Allah’s order to save human life.
Imam Dawud, whom I heard for the very first time, has made the deceit of the two parties clear. I hope the Muslims of the USA vote for a third party who is against genocide and peaks up for the Muslims. May Allah give Imam Dawud barakah. From UK
Mashallah sheikh, beautiful advice. May Allah protect and Preserve you. Ameen! Btw , some of the advice you mentioned about tarbyia program and usul Fiqh courses are offered by Almagrib it is open to all, I am a layperson, have benefited from them. Faith essential is their basic courses, I highly recommend every one to sign up. They are online and is accessible all around the world. Alhamdullilah!!
Our people of African descent in this country have also had to deal with the class question in our community. Those who will support the US government domestic and international policies that violate the principles of humanity. The muslim community domestically and international have to deal with those whose class interest are aligned with Democratic and Republic parties. "We won't organize any black man to be a Democrat or a Republican because both of them have sold us out. Both of them have sold us out; both parties have sold us out. Both parties are racist, and the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republican Party". Malcolm X
Vote no evil. Vote 3rd party. Be honest for once and vote your conscience. Here in Ohio we vote green but I have no suggestion for Michiganders. May Allah guide them. They hold the power.
I was born Muslim from Mississippi. I'm 32 now, and I never voted in any election, not even state level, I'm fully legal to, i have no criminal activity on record, but still never voted.
@Dawahpower290 its no way to be a man of God that serves America lol everyone saying God bless the country built on native genocide, slavery, now making using the labor of tax payers to fund genocide, those that say God Bless America are hypocrites
How can you dive into the world of ihsan and attain a spiritual understanding without Tasawwuf? I am interested in the solution and the source to understand “act as if Allah see you.” ❤ Great Work may Allah continue to pour Baraka over this channel.
VOTE GREEN PARTY TO REACH THE 5% THRESHOLD AND THATS IT! WE NEED 7.5 MILLION NATIONAL VOTES TO HAVE A 3RD PARTY OPTION, MUSLIMS ONLY MAKE UP ABOUT 2.5 MILLION OF THOSE VOTES BUT THE BLACK AND LATINO VOTE CAN GET US THERE INSHA ALLAH
The choice is simple - you do the right thing and put your trust in Allah (SWT). To do otherwise, giving your vote to plain adversaries under the erroneous dichotomy of the lesser of two evils, is tantamount to having little faith in the Lord that you serve. Seeking immediate triumph is not the Muslim way, but being patient whilst doing what is right is! PS For those still unsure about this, remember, “Rectify evil with your hands; failing which, with your words; failing which, with your mind; and the latter is the weakest of faith.” Rectify, not fall into line with the lesser evil.
One can also submit a blank ballot. You can vote down ballot if you choose but leave the President bubbles blank. It is legal and recorded. It's a method of submitting a vote of protest against the duopoly.
I'm not a Muslim. I just have a heart for suffering people in general, and especially for all those who suffer injustice. This includes ALL injustices like Native Americans who were forced off their land, and African Americans who suffered slavery and who continue to suffer injustices, and also Holocaust victims under Hitler. However, Gaza is the first and only genocide I've seen firsthand and closeup in color and in broad daylight. The cruelty and brutality I've seen is extremely shocking and has caused me severe mental and spiritual anguish. There's also the fact of knowing this brutality is being facilitated by the country I love, and by the party I have been loyal to for decades is devastating. I CANNOT vote for anyone who supports a genocide. I just can't! To me that would be a sin against my own soul. That's why I'm voting Green for Jill Stein. She said she will use executive action to stop the weapons. That is the only power I have outside of prayers for those who suffer. I wish that we can all as human beings love one another as we love ourselves. That is the teaching and the heart of Jesus!!
If Muslim doesn’t want the blood of their brothers and sisters on their hands then they should just stay uncommitted or vote for a third party unless there is clear sign of commitment from the party before election because we are going to be questioned in this in the day of judgement and thanks to the sheikh for his wake up call on this confusing situation
I consider myself Muslim from Africa Senegal 🇸🇳 to be exact which is where I was born. I am African American due to living here in USA 🇺🇸 and having us citizenship since 2015. If we are to follow Quran and Sunnah to the letter then we are not allowed to vote and participate in this kufr and shirk government
No, you're an American African. I'm an African American whose X Chromosome/s is from Senegal 🇸🇳. I visited for 10 days the summer of '91 when I wasn't a Muslim and 14 years old. 😉
I'm an African American Chicagoan from N.O.I. Mosque #2 neighborhood, NO SHIRK WHATSOEVER, worshipping member of Ahlul Bayt. I'm voting D and Green down ballot. President will be vacant or 3d party. My TAKE is, any here who THINK that they're a believer, Will Do Likewise...........
VOTE DR. JILL STEIN & PROF BUTCH WARE! ✊️ Lets all make GREEN PARTY 🌍 to reach 5% or higher, 15% to join Presidential Debates! Survive 4yrs w/out rewarding red & blue, fight better in next election with more time & funding. Never to same G'cide & Zio Red team & Blue team! #Revolution #Historic✊️
If you have Hitler on the ballot you can never negotiate. The democrat party by definition carries on the same platform. One should say the truth- you are voting against Kamala Harris and who you choose as an alternative is who you support. These types of votes have a duo effect.
I liked the conversation with the Imam. However, I have a critique, isn't it possible that there are Arab Americans or people sympathetic to the Palestinian case who intend to vote for Trump as a way to ensure Harris loses, and that be considered a punishment to the Democrats? They shouldn't necessarily be Christian or Druz or uncaring. It may be the case that they are extreme in their opinions, but it doesn't mean that they don't care for the Umma. I actually know many Christian and Druz Arabs who care a lot about the Islamic Ummah that they are part of. Under Islam, all sorts of people lived and considered themselves an inseparable part of the Ummah.
Now you can completely de-register as a voter. Being registered is written consent to be the subject of elected officials. Being registered is consent no matter who is actually voted into office.
Doing the lesser of two evils does not equate to doing what is RIGHT AND JUST. This is like saying committing adultery or fornication; which would you prefer? Both of these choices are forbidden in Islam. The Muslim always places their trust in Allah, just as the Muslims did during the Battle of Badr. "And already had Allāh given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were weak [i.e., few in number]. Then fear Allāh; perhaps you will be grateful." Allahu Akbar!
The problem is of speaking of the system being influenced by Muslims. The reason being Islam is not a system in any shape or form. It has to do with the individual practicing the faith in Allah. The faith has been completed by Allah . Enter it completely do not pick and choose. No other deen is acceptable to Allah. Don't worry about what you can't do anything about. You have to wage a struggle for the self followed by exhorting others to the truth, then only will you be able to influence any system to your liking.
A noble beginning for all the American noble Muslims to unit for the" American Republic under God", which from the Book of Revelation give to saint John in the Island of Patmos in old Greek after prophet Jesus departure ti heaven and the decline of the Roman pagans and near fall of the Herodian imposter rule, and the wicked high priesthood in the occupied Judea. The holy Quran demands unity of modern era Muslims as the peace makers, after the prophet Noah great flood resuce, and the teaching of the prophet Muhammad's great legacies. Allah willing!
I don't know if this will help this subject 🤔 but my husband did a 17-year bid in maximum prisons. He said the Muslims practiced wahabism in there. Since his passing, I've come to know that the U.S. uses this sect of Muslims for their covert operations. I think it's worth mentioning since there is an infiltration happening in your ummas. The acronym SIDE = Subjigate Infiltrate, Dominate, Exterminate. Think about it 🤔 Your guest was awesome, and I don't vote for the same reasons he doesn't. I totally enjoyed your show 3x and appreciate the conversation, though I'm not Muslim; I do find myself spending more time around them than Christians these days. Thanks for all you do 🙏🙂😗
I think it shouldn’t be a name “African American Muslims” community, this is the beginning of the crack! Yes can be African American, but when it come to Islam is one Ummah, و ان هذه امتكم امة واحدة. The prophet melts all tribes and nations under one. And this is the main issue of Christianity today, they divided based on color and ethnics. Be carefully how name things. I advise imam Dawoud not fall into this trap.
This is thoughtful and illuminating, but gravely disappointing. As a Christian African American, I've started to feel that the community's allyship on Gaza has been taken for granted and even outright dismissed. I'm not alone in that feeling and the Imam seems to confirm that view with his shallow whataboutism. This is regrettable given that Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, two African American "leftist" congresspersons, lost their seats to AIPAC-funded candidates because of their advocacy on Palestine. Barbara Lee, a leftist congresswoman, was the sole member of congress to vote against authorizing the Iraq war. Angela Davis has been on the forefront for decades in the Israel divestment movement. Ta-Nehisi Coates was verbally abused on CBS for daring to put in writing his aversion to Israeli apartheid. Countless leftist organizers have been on the front lines in working to end the 911 wars, close Guantanamo Bay, and hold the Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden administrations accountable on a range of issues, including Trump's Muslim ban. Evoking Candace Owens, who has risked nothing, and not Cori Bush, who risked everything, is just unacceptable Imam. But more importantly, the current Republican iteration is intent on making the US a Christian nation, the Abraham Accords effectively tied the hands of Arab countries from more forceful intervention (as intended), and Trump has made plain that his vision of a resolution that is incompatible with any sense of Palestinian betterment. I get the Muslim communities sincerely held beliefs on reproductive freedom and marriage equality. But bet on the Republican or Jill "do nothing" Stein horse if you like. And you'll see who REALLY has your back and are willing to risk everything.
The Thinking Muslim really has done a lot to expose the power of the deen to me as a Non-Muslim -- excellent resource Jalal -- keep it up !
thank you!

Brother Jalal you are an asset to the Umma
May be, but on the wrong side of the political scenario.
This 3 party endorsement is to marginalize Muslim votes. It would render no voice or weight to Muslims. It's a suicidal option to vote for 3rd party.
Howmany Senators and Congress persons does Green Party ( 3rd party) has? Waste if vote and discussion in voting for green party.
Gaza and WestBank, whatever the Palestine was , already destroyed, Trump can't do any worst. Vote Trump to defeat Harris. Do not waste your vote otherwise.
Hadn't heard Imam Dawud speak before. This is a real treat. Really appreciate the clear guidance.
Telling muslims to vote according to their emotions and throw away their vote instead of voting strategically is wrong. The lesser of two evils is an intrinsic part of Islam, i.e., Hudaybia.
Thank you for speaking with Imam Dawud. His insight is always refreshing.
@@KarnakZMZM so Tell me How do you Jill Stein voters feel now that the Michigan Imams sold you out to Trump?🤣😂😂😂
@@ninimusta336 I can stand in front of Allah with a clean conscience in regards to the genocide. They will be accountable to Allah. All of us will.
Vote for Dr Jill Stein. She won't win, but voting against 'dumb' on the right and the 'idiot' on the left will still send a necessary message to the political arena. Hopefully, decade later things will be lot better.
I see voting as a movement. Voting for green party keep the momentum. If the green party wins 5%, they get public funding and eventually get to debate
If she gets 5% of popular vote she can have a party status.
I agree 💯
Im not wasting my vote. Voting against Project2025 is my goal
@@tormundgaint1022 A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.. All these Muslim channels promoting Stein are lying agents for Trump and Israel
Imam dawud takes no prisoners. He speaks with dignity, authority and most importantly, truth.
Thank you so much brother imam Daud and also the brother who did this interview.
May Allah SWT give to both of you a great reward in Jannah.

We have to look at things objectively and decide what fits with our beliefs and what does not. It is a constant we have to live with.
Please pray for Sudan 🇸🇩
Excellent analogy!
can you do a video responding to Mehdi Hasan’s video on why voting for 3rd party is “pointless”. Someone, a close muslim friend sent it to me and said “voting for Kamala doesn’t mean we don’t care about Gaza or that we are bad muslims, its just a different strategy.” it literally ruined my day…. 🥴There was so much wrong with his video I couldn’t stomach it.

The holy Quran demands unity of modern era Muslims as the peace makers, after the prophet Noah great flood resuce, and the teaching of the prophet Muhammad's great legacies. Allah willing!
We BEEN AT enemies’s TABLES, & ARE THE MEAL or the FLUNKIES CLEANING UP & ACCEPTING WHATEVER IS LEFT OVER !
So WHY didn't you get one of the Imams from the Muslims for Harris group?
I don't know if this will help this subject 🤔 but my husband did a 17-year bid in maximum prisons. He said the Muslims practiced wahabism in there. Since his passing, I've come to know that the U.S. uses this sect of Muslims for their covert operations.
I think it's worth mentioning since there is an infiltration happening in your ummas. The acronym SIDE = Subjigate Infiltrate, Dominate, Exterminate. Think about it 🤔
Your guest was awesome, and I don't vote for the same reasons he doesn't. I totally enjoyed your show 3x and appreciate the conversation, though I'm not Muslim; I do find myself spending more time around them than Christians these days. Thanks for all you do 🙏🙂😗
I and my family voted early for Dr. Jill Stein 💚 💚 💚 💚
Bernie Sanders made sense
I think it shouldn’t be a name “African American Muslims” community, this is the beginning of the crack!
Yes can be African American, but when it come to Islam is one Ummah,
و ان هذه امتكم امة واحدة.
The prophet melts all tribes and nations under one.
And this is the main issue of Christianity today, they divided based on color and ethnics.
Be carefully how name things.
I advise imam Dawoud not fall into this trap.
Tell that to the Michigan Imams that just endorsed Trump
Amen, brother. Er, can I say Amen to a muslim?
We say Ameen as well.
PLEASE VOTE FOR GREEN PARTY - GIVE YOUR VOTE TO JILL STEIN.
Exactly & that's why you shouldn't vote for him!
This is thoughtful and illuminating, but gravely disappointing. As a Christian African American, I've started to feel that the community's allyship on Gaza has been taken for granted and even outright dismissed. I'm not alone in that feeling and the Imam seems to confirm that view with his shallow whataboutism. This is regrettable given that Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, two African American "leftist" congresspersons, lost their seats to AIPAC-funded candidates because of their advocacy on Palestine. Barbara Lee, a leftist congresswoman, was the sole member of congress to vote against authorizing the Iraq war. Angela Davis has been on the forefront for decades in the Israel divestment movement. Ta-Nehisi Coates was verbally abused on CBS for daring to put in writing his aversion to Israeli apartheid. Countless leftist organizers have been on the front lines in working to end the 911 wars, close Guantanamo Bay, and hold the Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden administrations accountable on a range of issues, including Trump's Muslim ban. Evoking Candace Owens, who has risked nothing, and not Cori Bush, who risked everything, is just unacceptable Imam. But more importantly, the current Republican iteration is intent on making the US a Christian nation, the Abraham Accords effectively tied the hands of Arab countries from more forceful intervention (as intended), and Trump has made plain that his vision of a resolution that is incompatible with any sense of Palestinian betterment. I get the Muslim communities sincerely held beliefs on reproductive freedom and marriage equality. But bet on the Republican or Jill "do nothing" Stein horse if you like. And you'll see who REALLY has your back and are willing to risk everything.
Yea. Is it a choice?
Devils 😈 and the Deep sea 🌊
Create the choice you want, 💪 a strong choice.
Trump gave his shirt of his back to Israel last time. Allah is the best planner.
