[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=2) First of all, who asked you for advice? Who came and said, “Come, for God’s sake, advise me”? I mean, how can you come in today and advise someone you don’t even know?

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=12) That’s one. Second: What is this doctrine you’ve come to advise me about?

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=16) The one I was originally part of and left?

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=20) I never left Islam. I’m a Muslim who believes in one God.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=23) I believe in God. All that happened is that I’m someone who left a doctrine called Sunni Islam and the Community for the doctrine of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. What’s the difference? Even though you all know that the Prophet’s final words were, “I leave among you

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=40) the two weighty things: the Book of God and the progeny of my household.” Who are you to convince me otherwise? And who asked you for advice?

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=48) Besides, who still thinks this way today? You do.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=52) What doctrine are you trying to convince me of, the one I left, that makes me declare every person on earth an unbeliever, meaning it makes me put myself in God’s place, saying that if this person isn’t Sunni, then he’s an apostate unbeliever.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=65) What kind of doctrine is this? How do you expect me to become like this?

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=68) Should I continue down this path? Of course, this doesn't reflect your doctrine.

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=73) All respect to the Sunnis, and all my love to you.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=77) But, brother, your doctrine creates people in an inhumane way, brother.

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=84) Brother, it wants to hold everyone accountable. It wants to suck everyone's blood, man. Anyone who isn't Sunni, it wants to do away with. What kind of doctrine is this, for God's sake?

[1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=96) I thank God that I came out of darkness into the light.

[1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=100) Thank God I got out of these psychological complexes, where I sit and judge people. Neither God permitted me nor gave me the right, nor the Quran, nor the Messenger, nor Islamic law, nor even the laws on Earth allow me to do this.

[1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=114) Who are you to allow yourself to message me privately and go after people around the world? Fear God, be guided, and whatever else, and "apostate."

[2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=125) And the apostate should be killed. Shedding the blood that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said, dismantling the Kaaba stone by stone is easier for God than shedding a Muslim's blood, while you spill his blood.

[2:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=137) You consider Muslims' blood fair game. If you're not with us, you're against us. By what right?

[2:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=144) What kind of creed do you want me to stick to? The creed of these hardline Salafists of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, who make me fear the ruler and the mosque sheikh more than I fear God. When I think of Islam, the first thing I think of is the mosque sheikh. I used to think of Shaykh al-Islam, not God. Does that bother you?

[2:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=165) Does it bother you that they put an intermediary between me and God? The mosque sheikh—whatever he says, follow it.

[2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=169) This is a red line. Watch out, don't defy his words, even if he sodomizes you, as Ibn Taymiyyah said: "You must obey the ruler even if he lashes your back, takes your money, and sodomizes you."

[3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=181) Yes, in 2026, am I supposed to run after these ideas, these issues that only make a person a coward who keeps his head down, when you got your young men to the point where they have no problem in the world with anyone who attacks them, their religion, or their women's honor, except Muslims who are just like them.

[3:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=204) They only have a problem with Shiites because they don't show loyalty to the Companions and show loyalty to the Prophet's family.

[3:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=211) God is witness that I will remain upon the creed of Ahl al- Bayt.

[3:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=214) I will remain upon this creed, the creed of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, which the Shia follow.

[3:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=221) Whether you like it or not, you're welcome. I'm not forcing you to come and tell me to guide you, nor did I tell you to become Shia. I am free, brother.

[3:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=228) You cannot guide whom you love, God guides whom He wills.

[3:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=231) What is upsetting you? Enough, leave me alone. Every so often, you come into my private messages whenever you see me online just to insult me.

[4:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=240) Even if I wanted to become Sunni again, I would stop myself because of you, because of these ideas of yours.

[4:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=247) I seek refuge in God. Praise be to God, who brought me out of darkness into the light.

[4:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=252) O God, You bear witness that I will remain upon the creed of the Commander of the Faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, the Guardian of God, the successor of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him and his family.

[4:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=264) Your problem is not with me. Your problem is with Imam Ali, of whom the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said, "O Ali, none loves you but a believer, and none hates you but a hypocrite." Glory be to God!

[4:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=276) Glory be to God! Glory be to God! Peace be upon you, my master.

[4:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2ET69VG4S3KD/en/from-sunni-islam-to-ahl-al-bayt-rejecting-takfir-and-unsolicited-advice?t=279) And my master, O Abu al-Hasan, O Commander of the Faithful, O Ali ibn Abi Talib.
