As a muslim in america, brother Daniel is a breath of fresh air. May Allah bless him and his family in this life and the next

Wallahi, I like this Brother Daniel very much. He´s a very intellectual and academically skilled Researcher and Panalist. But most importantly - everbody has to recognize this - he has Ikhlas, love for Allah subhana wa ta ala and his Messenger and for the protection of the Ummah of Muhammad salallahu aleihi wa sallam and the orthodox-traditional and undistorted teachings of the religion of Truth, al Islam. May Allah azza wa jal preserve Brothers like Daniel and grant us the blessings of the teachings and methodologies of fearless, intellectual and also merciful and wise Ulama, who dont shy away standing up for Haqq.

Watching this 3 years later, it's amazing how right Br Daniel was.

Daniel Haqiqatju is a gem ,mashaAlaaah . Kindly have more discussions with him on new Western ideologies Ana how deal with it . BarakaAllaaah o feekom

Mashallah The ummah needs people to hold a line . May Allah reward you

Mashaallah, I'm always impressed with the simplicity of the language Daniel uses to convey his thoughts.

Brother Daniel is one of the only one willing to speak the truth in the west.

Couldn't agree more with Daniel, we need more of him and less of celeb imams pandering to liberalism and watering down Islam for the sake of worldly benefits like their following

May Allah bless brother Daniel haqiqatjou. We need more soldier like him

51:43 wow when he said wallahi we do not need them. We can stand on our own principles!!!!! Allahu Akbar

We need more truthful dae like Daniel.

Khubayb ibn Adiy while he was tortured was asked:"Would you like Muhammad to be in your place while you go free?". He replied: "By God, I would not want to be safe and secure among my family while even a thorn hurts Muhammad." Then we have guys living comfortably and saying we should support Free speech even if it means insulting our Prophet because eventually it leads to human happiness.

I'm very impressed with this dialogue. Despite (what I assume is) brother Dilly's general support for the positions of brother Daniel in most of these matters, he did a very solid job and pressing the opposing points in challenging those positions. This wasn't merely a "softball" interview whereby a supportive host sets up his guest with simple questions and straw-man arguments to allow him to hit a series of home runs. This was nearly a debate - albeit a very well-mannered one.

Have waited for a brother like Dan since I moved to the west. Don't let these compassionate Imam get in your way. Keep going.

Brother Daniel in one statement: MAKE ISLAM GREAT AGAIN! InshaAllah Ameen

00:02:00 DH vs. Ridvan (Apostate prophet) debate . 00:10:45 Prioritizing refuting "Compassionate imams" vs atheist debating . 00:12:07 Defining "Compassionate imams" eg. not mentioning the hell fire (punishment) . 00:16:39 Sh. Abdulraheem Greens opinion on people who omit/minimize mentioning punishment (jahanam) . 00:17:50 DH response to people who say he's being judgmental and accusing "compassionate imams" of having a nefarious agenda (teaching a secular/liberal Islam) when he doesn't know what's in their hearts. 00:19:00 Why is the number of times someone preaches certain subjects indicative of how orthodox they are? 00:23:10 Response to people who say "We live in a hostile western environment. Most people know nothing about Islam. Going straight to punishment and LGBT issues is not wise (hikma حكمة) . 00:26:00 What if they say their prioritizing is an independent reasoning (ijtihad اجتهاد) matter. 00:29:00 Response to the claim that the people who will agree with DH on controversial subjects are far right who have no issue harming Muslims. So the left is a lesser threat. (maslaha/mafsada argument) 00:33:13 Response to "The reason Muslim groups lean left is because they provide a safe space to advance our interest." 00:39:12 Should different people be approached in a different manner? Eg. A different approach to people in power (more stern) compared to the laymen (more lenient). 00:43:25 Would you rather side with Christians/Jews against LGBT laws and school curriculum? What about someone who sides with the left to resist an anti-Muslim issue? 00:48:21 Regarding Muslim groups who's main objective is to advance the cause of Islam at any cost. Regardless who aids us. 00:51:57 Isn't it the case that in these hard times knowing what's maslaha/mafsada is an ijtihad issue on what's more beneficial to Muslims? 00:55:30 At what point in your life did you come to the realization that going after compassionate imams or organizations is necessary? 00:59:25 (side point) Are you against making laws to protect LGBT people if they were being physically attacked or treated differently publicly bcz of their sexuality? 01:01:13 (side point) What's your position on companies not hiring someone bcz they identify as LGBT? 01:03:00 Back to main point. 01:04:38 Have you engaged with the scholars in private before calling them out? 01:06:55 Are you a bitter ex-employee currently profiting off your alternative (Alasna Institute) and making a profit off the feud? 01:10:43 Does Yaqeen institute not have scholars to fact check their articles? 01:11:38 But Yaqeen does have a big reach and beneficial content. 01:16:57 Yaqeen and counter extremism effort. 01:23:07 Why do you attack Muslim activist when they are already heavily attacked by their opposition. 01:27:35 Shouldn't the 'hudud' only be implemented by the khalifa? 01:28:22 Did you publicly call out of scholars to promote your new Alasna Institute as an alternative? 01:31:26 Pressure on imams if they so much as 'like' a DH post. 01:33:38 How do you feel now that you've become a very polarizing figure? 01:36:57 How important is the way you articulate your disagreements with people who err? 01:41:47 What makes you qualified to criticize scholars who dedicated years of their life to study fiqh when you don't have the same credentials? 01:44:40 Yasir Qadhi statement regarding hudud. 01:48:35 Dr. Jonathan Brown statement regarding practice Islam in the west and allowing criticism of Islam. 01:58:00 Back to qualification point. 02:08:45 Who are the scholars you consult? 02:10:40 Why can't it be the case that these are new challenges and require new solutions to deal with them? 02:12:49 Have you been just to the people you criticized when they are being harassed after your criticism? 02:20:38 Have you ever had any regrets from your actions? 02:21:35 Do you think about when you meet Allah(swt) will you be thinking you did good when in reality it was wrong? 02:23:15 How do you feel that there are genuine grievances in Muslim women which leads them on the path they follow (feminism) and in order to bring them back we need more compassion? 02:30:45 Has the ship of reconciliation with compassionate imams sailed? 02:33:55 Your thoughts on Muslims in the UK. 02:35:42 How do you feel about people privately praising you but not publicly?

We need more honest people like Daniel and Sajid doing dawah, not clowns who suffer from inferiority complex who almost reject certain parts of deen, confusing muslims and non muslims by trying to delude them.

I admit I saw brother Daniel one or two years ago and judged his point of view as harsh but now I can see he's clearly correct

MashAllah Daniel is a heavyweight intellectually and in more ways then one 😆. I love his calm, composed and well thought out responses with clear examples and analogies. His unapologetic stance on Islam absolutely rattled the Islamophobes last week in that debate with that clown. His work needs to be promoted more and more muslims should embody his scepticism to the prevailing Islamic representatives actions and aggressive liberal secular imposition.

This man is so amazing we need more people like him

If you can raise your sons to be like any of these brothers, you are a succesful parent in the west. Mashallah

Daniel actually removed Apostates prostate cancer 😂

Daniel: "Alhamdulillah I sleep like a baby". LOL

Ma shaa Allah - great podcast, probably the best podcast from 5Pillars. Dilly’s line of questioning was spot on and Daniel’s answers were as forthright and erudite as usual ma shaa Allah. This is what you call a productive conversation. More of the same please.

*_Compassionate Imams use Islam as a brand to build profitable businesses through donations from Muslims and secure secular government favours._*

It's not fair the criticism Daniel has faced from many in the Muslim community. How can you disagree with the (many) points he raised. Subhanallah

Watching this 3 years later. Brother Daniel was, and still is, right Masha Allah

Got to rate Dilly on this one with his line of questions. Bang on here.

I love seeing the host being well-versed in the work and views of the guest and thus being able to pose a rigorous discussion in a respectful way. Often times we are left listening to such interviews with obvious questions which are left unanswered. Credit also to Br Haqiqatjou for making his views available to being challenged. Jzakumullahu Khayr

Allah Humma Baarik, brother Daniel is a blessing for Muslims in the west, they need a person who equipped with the intellect and authentic Islamic grounding to counter the fitnah faced in these times.ie Feminism, LGBQT, liberalism etc.

This verse always comes to mind when I hear some Muslims and Muslim groups in the west calling for alliances with certain non-Muslims in the name of maslaha. Pay particular attention to how Allah described them. "So you see those in whose hearts is disease hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful." Suratul Maidah verse 52

We need a soldier like him

Always have loved brother Daniel. But this interview just took me from 💯 to 1000. Stay 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾☝🏾brother Daniel, your a gem💎. Never compromise on your Islamic fundamentals and principles.

*I will listen to bro Daniel over & over again. Alhamdoulillah.*

I have heard this podcast at least 4 times. I am in full agreement with Daniel and I applaud his answers that are rooted in knowledge and firm upon principle and he should be commended for facing this raging bull charging at us and taking it by the horn and steering away so that it doesn't harm us. But I also have to give it to Dilly that this was a great interview no doubt. He asked some tough questions, not because he's biased, but because these are some of the questions that the people in the ummah are in fact asking and raising doubts about. Great interview MashaAllah. Allah unite our hearts in this duniya and unite us under His throne in the akhira. Ameen.

I love this Brother Daniel for the sake of Allah, may Allah bless and preserve him.

i am very happy that brother daniel's work is being promoted!

I never understood brother Daniel at first n then once I really started to listen to him, I started to love him for his frankness and intelligence. He doesn't sugar coat Islam

Brother Daniel is a gem in these tough times. A true warrior.

This was a great interview. May Allah bless Daniel for the work he does and for the work Dilly does. I really enjoyed the style of questioning by Dilly and the responses by Daniel.

What a brilliant person? Ma Sha Allah, may Allah give you the best of both worlds haqiqatjou.

31 dislikes from yaqeen institute 😂

I don't believe I've witnessed Daniel's tone come off harshly. I've been following his videos for a few months now, and I am inclined to agree with his criticisms. I'm a recent revert, and Islam has been a huge perspective shift for me. So much so that at times, I have to take breaks just to let the reality of this new knowledge sink in. I respect Daniel's critiques because he's solidifying and drawing forth tangible reflections of current issues. I say this as someone who once identified with a leftist liberal progressive mentality. Now my sole purpose is to seek out what is Islamically sound.

Masha-Allah I have recently discovered brother Daniel channel and suddenly fell in love with him. He is true and very clear about his faith and stand without fear. Alhamdulillah may Allah protect brother Daniel and increase him in iman and knowledge.

One of the best podcasts. May Allah bless DH and may Allah help us keep steadfast upon Haqq without watering it down

Masha’Allah excellent convo. Love the video editing!

Given the outreach of these "compassionate imams" , it's the need of the hour that they be called out. May Allah keep us all steadfast upon the Deen.

Wonderful podcast with a truly admirable brother ما شاء الله !

Dear Brother Daniel… Continue…. Do NOT change your views / idea❤

MashaAllah a very good podcast. Great interview by br. Dilly with br. Daniel. Just a a small comment with regards to taking maslaha and mafsadah into account there is a legal maxim that can be used to determine or control to what degree maslaha can be used: إذا اجتمع الحلال والحرام غلب الحرام "When a halal and haram is mixed then haram prevails" So if someone needs to obtain a maslaha (fighting islamophobia) by committing a haram (allying and/or recognising and/or fighting for LGBT rights) then the haram will prevail and maslaha is thrown out. Allah knows best

Holy Moly this one is going to be Epic !!!!

Our Beloved Brother Haqiqatjou❤

This is an absolute beautiful interview The interviewer asks very intellectual on point questions with great manners. Daniel in return is extremely firm in defending his orthodox view of islam with great HQ arguments

Brother Daniel opened my eyes and showed truth otherwise I was a big fan of other compassionate leaders and slowly they were changing me to American Islam . I was aware of that any where Islam went in the past, culture got mixed with Islam and people start following cultural Islam . I was noticing in America, icna, isna , msa everywhere islam is losing true version. Last few yrs I am following brother Daniel and I was able to recognize truth and various leaders and activists. I became careful whom I listen whom I follow . I was donating money to different organizations thinking that they are bringing good to Muslim ummah . But now I am very careful about who gets my donations. I love activism but as Muslim our activism should be according to Islamic principle . May Allah preserve and flourish brother Daniel. I am insha Allah 100% with him. I want to live and die on truth of Allah. No compromise or change in Islam because we will have difficulties to live in West . Allah is with us to remove or ease that difficulties . Our job is to try by remaining in the way of Allah . Result will come from Him .

May Allah swt preserve you Daniel Haqiqatjou. Love you for the sake of Allah. We nees more people like you especially in these difficult times

It is an intense scrutiny and I hope Dilly does the same to people whom Daniel's criticized

May Allah preserve our brothers! Amazing conversation and clarity in speech. Need more of these dialogues to occur and want to see Br Daniel with the opposing groups on the same table one day having a public discussion on these issues.

Really good masha Allah, love brother haqiqatjou and his standing up for orthodox islam in such times and love how brother dilly didnt hold back on the hard questions.

Excellent podcast. Well challenged by Dilly. Daniel came across very clearly masha'allah.

May Allah grant brother Daniel a long and healthy life to make us knowledgeable so that we can choose truths among falsehood. Subhanallah he is much needed in these confusing times because he is identifying the roots of our problems, showing us ways to conquer doubts.

I love Daniel Haqiqatjou for the sake of Allah subhanallah wa taalah. May Allah protect him and his family

Amazing guest Great interview ma sh Allah thanks brother. I don’t think I watched A video this long on KZfaq maybe once or twice before.

I don’t understand why muslims r so confused by Daniel’s position! Don’t they read Quran ? He’s not presenting complex matters.

DH is very clear. Appreciate that A LOT.

When Dilly said I'd like to congratulate you on your engagement, then paused a little, I thought for a second Daniel was getting married again 😂 2:00

Most of we the reverts are always ready when we come into the game... May we die in the course of Islam

Mashallah . May allah spread this ghaira and love for islam to the hearts of all muslim brothers and sister . You are truely a light of relief in this dark situation . May allah bless you brother daniel in this world and world here after amen .

Ya Allah make another million Daniel Haqiqatjou

Jazakallah khair 5pillars for giving everyone a platform!

Brilliant!!!!

Allah bless both of you, these are important things that need to be discussed. Very beneficial and subscribing to your channel

Brother Daniel was unstoppable mashaAllah! Bother Dilly tried every possible way to jam him up, but failed spectacularly each and every single time. Of course this was from a place of love instead of hate, so I’m not holding anything against brother Dilly. I wish non Muslims would debate like this, i.e. sincerely, because then humanity would benefit so much more from those debates. The points and arguments made were very real and defined, but ultimately brother Daniel was triumphant through championing Islam. Something that I realized while watching this video is that these compassionate Imam’s are doing exactly what the israelis, zionists, jews, liberals, feminists, lgbtq, woke and etc are doing… Trying to silence the opposition and being successful more often than not astagfirulah. Keep up the non compromising fight for Islam brother Daniel inshaAllah and ameen!

Respect to both of you

Oh I so much love this brother Daniel! May Allah preserve him and raise more people like him who will fear Allah more than mankind!

Great interview. I admit I have not always been the biggest fan of 5Pillarz but this was a great interview, asking probing questions not shying away from hard topics. And largely well answered by brother Daniel

Accept it brother dilly, you enjoyed this video too. Maybe try some more collaborations with brother Daniel. May Allah bless both of you brothers and everyone in the Ummah.

1:07:53 why does 5pillars think it necessary to add that text on video? Do they still not see the harm from yaqeen?

Absolute best ❤️ Dilly.. جزاكم الله خيرًا

I couldn't agree more with Daniel from the get go. I'm sick and tired of sellout compassionate Imams!!!

2:11:08 So you are saying Allah didn't have the vision that there will be time in the future where we might need to align with "LGBT" and stuff ? of course ha had. how can you say Islam is medieval. It is these Organizations that are medieval. Allah showed us guidance not just for the past but for the future, till the day of judgment. Brother Daniel is absolutely right about these organizations. They are portrayed as what majority of Muslim believe but the case is totally opposite. And Seriously, you don't do Ijtihad on something that is established in Islam. You do Ijithad on things which are uncertain and can have opposite meaning. LGBT (or supporting it's rights) is totally against Islam. There is no Ijtihad required for it in the first place. One of the most common Instrument to judge whether something is part of Islam or not is IJMAH (common conses of Ummah). Not a single sect in Islamic history has ever endorsed the immoral sexual acts or even the rights for people who do it.

Best episode yet

We Need a Daniel Skeptic 'Clone' in the UK.... Inshallah one will be born soon....

Ma shaa Allaah, may He reward you for your good work and efforts brothers! The lions of this ummah today 🦁🦁🦁

I agree with Denial

We want him to train more people like him before he leaves this world 😢

Did I miss something? Why do these brothers (Dilly and Muhammad Hijab) feel the need to play devil's advocate when speaking to brother Daniel? Is there really any other stance to take except to STAND WITH brother Daniel UNEQUIVOCALLY? Isn't this what the seerah is all about? Nobody mocks you when you are doing 'amr bil maarouf', the tougher jihad is 'nahi un il-munkar'. It's only when you engage in the latter do you get called names and by Allah, the Prophet (PBUH) was called worse. So, STAND FIRM BROTHER DANIEL!!! May Allah reward you many many many fold for your fight against taghut! And may Allah give these podcasting brothers the courage to stand with you, without the if's and but's.

I am watching this after watching muhammad hijab with Jonathan brown. May Allah preserve Daniel with strength Ameen.

Love this podcast!

Great podcast! Great job by both of the brothers! May Allah bless both!

May Allah bless brother Daniel

Rewatching this episode after more than a year feels like watching anew episode with brother Daniel. Very interesting,entertaining and informative. I believe this is the longest episode of the blood brothers podcast even longer than the debate on voting. I would highly advise people to watch&follow not just Daniel but also ulama who will teach us the religion. I personally at least fellow to learn&get inspired by two shuyukh, 1 ustaad abdurrahman Hassan from al madrasatu al umariyyah KZfaq channel and ustaad uthman ibnu farooq from masjid ribbat KZfaq channel. May Allah reward these duaat and shuyukh with the best in this world and the next!

The quality of this recording is amazing 👏

eye opening podcast ,they way he unfold celebrity imams.' allah-o-akbar

This was beautiful I wish all Muslims was like this may this be an example 🖤🤍🩶

YES, he hit it perfectly about how the general American public are hungry for what Islam teaches. I think we have that perspective and understanding of people because we're from Texas☺️ I honestly think a lot of believing people stopped being as interested in going to the Protestant churches because the teachings have been so watered down. Something is only the truth when it is told in its entirety. And people know when they aren't getting the whole/real truth.

20:38 that reminded me of this ayah : (Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse) Surat albaqarah, ayah 159

im a muslim arab from morocco, ive just became a subscriber, good channel and my Allah grant u jannah for using this tool to spread intellect and fighting misconceptions

Brother Dilly is the best Muslim Jurnalist I know, Jazakallah

The more I watch Br Dilly's interview,I'm impressed with his interview style. Masha Allah you grill the person without being disrespecful.
