The Breakdown - Ep 5: Feminism, Extremism and the Hidden Virtues of Lady Zainab (with Father Christopher Clohessy).

Thursday, March 28, 2019 • Duration 48:31

Did Lady Zainab (as) play a much greater role in Karbala than we know?

How do her sentiments of leadership differ or compare to those of Western feminist movements in the post-modern era?

Does free speech exist within any religion? Or, is it a luxury limited to believers in God?

All this, and much, much more in our latest podcast featuring the world renowned Father Christopher Clohessy .

Mohammed and Ahmed found Father Chris to be really cool - he is cultured, humble despite his global recognition, and incredibly intelligent. Having grown up in an Irish Catholic family in South Africa, he then pursued the study of religion.

Father Christopher spent a year in Cairo, Egypt, studying Islamic studies as a Catholic priest, and then became aware of Imam Hussain (as). Since then, he learned of the battle of Karbala, and subsequently two of the most incredible personalities in world history - Lady Fatima (as) and Lady Zainab (as). Father Christopher has been one of the first academics to publish works in the English language on these two characters. He has lectured in communities worldwide, alongside his day-to-day work as a Professor in Shi'i studies at the Pontifical Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies in Rome.

We hope you enjoy the episode - make sure to share feedback with us!

The etiquettes of dealing with difference of opinion (Part 1 )

Thursday, March 14, 2019 • Duration 21:53

Our first Friday series looked at ‘effective listening’ and the second at ‘Where and where not to gain knowledge from’. In this series we will look at how to navigate differences of opinion. This is because increasingly there is a trend that when differences arise, be they in the family unit, political issues of the jamaa’at or between scholars, people sometimes resort to sending out communications to defame one another, often with little knowledge of the facts.

This of course is intolerable, especially as the Prophet Muhammad (s) said, “I was raised to bring morality to its peak.” How then can we as a community learn to deal with differences of opinion maturely?

Our series will focus on three things: 1) What the Qur’an & Ahl al-Bayt (a) have said about differences of opinion 2) What the scholars themselves have said about differences of opinion and 3) What examples they give us about navigating differences of opinion.

1) The Qur’an introduces where differences of opinion came from:
“Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over the Scripture except those who were given it – after the clear proofs came to them – out of jealous animosity among themselves.” (2:213)

This explains that differences existed and then Prophets and Revelation was sent to judge between said differences. However, because jealousy and animosity lay within some people, they weaponised this knowledge and used it fuel discord. This is why Allah swt told the Prophet (s) to purify people first and then teach them, for without removing their ill natures, knowledge would just add to differences, stating “reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book” (62:2)

2) Scholastic differences of Ijtihadat demonstrate the depth of that matter and emanate from from various knowledges and experiences. Sheikh Ahmad Zarrooq stated:

Where do I go for my knowledge? Whom do I trust when there are so many opinions out there? (Part 3)

Thursday, March 14, 2019 • Duration 20:59

“And those who accuse free women then do not bring four witnesses, flog them, (giving) eighty stripes, and do not admit any evidence from them ever; and these it is that are the transgressors” (24:4)

This verse first teaches us that accusing a woman of indecency is such a weighty issue, it requires four witnesses to testify the same as evidence. In our context, when politicians make large claims, there needs equal evidence. Second, when we see persistent liars, they have used up the currency of trust and not permitted to make claims ever again. Those politicians that have constantly been wrong or peddled falsities, no matter their claims going forward, should not be listened to.

As there are multiple claims made, it requires the interrogation of each claim and claimant in order to clearly view the truth. Only by putting these claims side by side can we begin to distinguish between them. This is something Imam Ali (a) taught us.

When the Holy Prophet (s) migrated, he left behind Imam Ali (a) as his representative. Handhalah Ibn Abi Sufiyaan instructed U’mair Ibn Waail to make a false claim and go to Ali and tell him:

“I had placed one hundred mithqaal of gold with the Holy Prophet (s). Hand my property back to me.”

Handhalah added that if Ali asked for witnesses Abu Jahl, I’krimah, U’qbah, Abu Sufiyaan and Handhalah would testify. The Imam (a) asked him to bring his witnesses near the Ka’bah. When all of them had arrived, he began questioning each one, individually and separately, about the items being held in trust.

“What time was it when you had placed your possession with Muhammad (s)?” he questioned U’mair first.

“It was morning when I gave him the gold and he handed it over to his servant,” replied U’mair.

H. Ali (a.s.) asked Abu Jahl the same question.

He replied, “I have no idea.”

When Abu Sufiyaan was questioned, he responded, “It was at sunset and he had placed it in his sleeves.”

Where do I go for my knowledge? Whom do I trust when there are so many opinions out there? (Part 2)

Thursday, March 14, 2019 • Duration 23:00

Whom are we prohibited from taking knowledge from and why?

- 2 + 2 = 4

- Water boils at 100 Celsuis

- Grass is green

- Mixing red and blue makes purple

- Liverpool will win the Premier League this season

Each of these statements represent a different type of claim. Where are they rooted? One claim is from mathematics, one is from physics and chemistry, others are by trial and observation. One is from the Bible, one is from the books of Ahadith and the last is a belief.

But what makes us claim these and why should they be believed? What happens when the Bible tells us the world is 6,000 years old but archeology or carbon dating may tell us the world is 4 million years old, for example. Whom do we believe, when do we create a hierarchy of beliefs and why?

In our previous two Friday Sermons we addressed the question: ‘Why is there a problem finding sound knowledge?’ This is because firstly, there are so many people claiming expertise yet all claiming different positions and secondly, because we live in a time when truth is purposefully convoluted with falsehood.

"O Ibn Mas’ood, from amongst the signs and conditions [of the end of times] will be that people will trust treacherous people and consider trustworthy people treacherous and the truthful one will be called a liar and the one telling the lie will be called truthful."

This week, I will present the first set of verses in which the Qur’an provides us with categories of people we are forbidden from taking our knowledge from – whether this be religious knowledge or political knowledge – because they are not qualified, worthy or trustworthy in order for us to lend them our ears. Each of these categories mention qualities of people who should be abstained from.
