Let me preemptively say: What is done publicly can and should be addressed publicly. That is my belief. I do not buy this idea that people can say and do things in public, and only face criticism in private. The actual principle is that what is done privately should not be spoken about publicly; not the other way around.

This was my exact thought. They are blatantly using the equipment they attained through donations are now being used in their business ventures.

They ask donation for video production, then they should make a detail report on where the money goes plus support by evidences...Money that people donate is for dawah,not for their wealthy lifestyle

Alhamdullillah brother Imran has explained how he paid for the vdos. Sadly assumptions made about him were incorrect. This is why its important to clarify before putting assumptions up. May Allah swt guide us all. Ameen

Amazing ideas here.

I have somewhat kinda mixed emotions on this. I had once refuted DawahMan for some of his cringe-worthy antics. Years later, he invited me onto his podcast where he allowed me to essentially undermine some of his overly harsh stances on the Ottomans (check it out: Naseeha Sessiions MXP #28 Who Conquered Constantinople?). So although i have never met him in person, i have found in the few times i spoke to him to be surprisingly open to advice. Even though he did not see my refutation of him before i took it down, he told me i needn't have removed it as he had been wrong! I assured him he would not be happy with it as it was not a good look for him and he came across an idiot. Even so, he assured me he was indifferent to being humiliated as he deserved it at the time. This lack of ego is v rare amongst those in the YT celebrity space. That being said, optics are everything. Having a charity gofund me page ran by the same team behind an alpha male business will naturally raise eyebrows. This is the kind of stuff that is routinely flagged up by the UK charity commission as a conflict of interest. I'm not for one minute suggesting the Badr boys are putting their hands in the kitty, as they say. However, many people unfortunately will and that kind of suspicion is inevitable nowadays - esp. if we were given the impression that the bro was taking a break from dawa to dedicate to study the religion properly. And he may actually be privately doing that now whilst running a business in a way his earlier teaching commitments didn’t allow him to. But its being presented, unfairly lets say, that he's taken the scenic route via a Muslamic redpill hussle. Its maybe too much to expect everyone to contact the Badr bros directly for assurances. More than that though, because they are in the field of dawa, the onus is really upon them to go above and beyond the call of duty to maintain their integrity so as not to bring their dawa into disrepute. The incident of Imam Bukhari throwing his bag of gold coins into the sea rather than risk being accused of theft comes to mind. Don’t think anyone here is asking him to do anything as drastic as that. Though a little additional corporate communication for the sake of PR wouldn’t do any harm. Point is, there's no shame in trying to put the public at ease with whatever degree of transparency should ordinarily allay the concerns of the average reasonable well-wisher…. if not to silence the unjust opposers who will latch onto such things to discredit what otherwise may well be and what we hope indeed are thoroughly noble and entirely compartmentalized business and charitable endeavours. And Allah knows best

Damn straight brother, best advice ,,,

I agree

Good I idea but I don't think this will happen as Imran will need the money to fund his own life and pay off his friends who are working with him.

There is, and always has been something inherently dodgy seeming about 'Dawahman'

If Badrclub members are paying and see value, why should those putting time and effort into teaching men to earn more and connect back to Allah not benefit? Why does anything related to Islam have to be charity? Why should there be a pot of money for them to share when the whole point is to teach men to be men. It is often believed those who teach Islam can't charge but this then deprives their family of essentials they deserve. Why should the family of those giving dawah suffer?

Va Aleykum Assalam

You cannot link up X with Y brother. Fear Allah. How can you make this link that he is using that money?

He's not called Dawah Man anymore. He's Imran ibn Mansur. He's taking a break from dawah, presumably to seek more knowledge.

Badr club if you want day dream about eating steak and chips, wake up 4am for productivity purposes, go to a shooting range, and have imaginary wives the join us.

When u invest in something you need to see track record. Or am I just investing in words? I need to know the future plans. There are people who belive so much that they might spend their last money on them and you used the word of Allah to attract them. This is serious. Dont mind people doing this, but using Allah it doesn't sit right. People are in desperate times. Giving hopes as if money rains from the sky. Money is hard work. Those who seek in it shall work hard for it. There is no easy access or a direct link, just because you have good intentions. What is written for it shall be recieved. You better of reading books of how money actually works.

Who said there is a link between the Gofundme money and his business money? That's an assumption. A negative one.

💯

Just call him and take the drama off the internet.... Barakallah feek

The brothers you are slandering have clarified that all of the Dawah money was used for the studio and associated running costs, there haven’t been any donations for over a month to the gofundme nor have they actively asked for any, they clarified for their own projects they hired media companies or camera men who bring their own equipment, they themselves have put in tens of thousands of pounds to fund the Dawah as the donations weren’t enough. I’m confused why this video is still up?

Wait! So what’s the purpose of making this short videos about Badr club brothers? If your intention is to give them advice, this is not the sunnah way to give someone advice. If you’re trying to remind them still this is not the sunnah way. Seriously internet and social media makes people comfortably disrespect eachother. Bro this is an Aqeedah issue. We Muslims don’t advice a person on public nor criticise them on public unless the person insists on his wrong action. Ngl I love your content Mashallah but please when you address issues do it in a sunnah way. Barakallahu fik!

Isn't it better not to make assumptions and have a live discussion with the brothers you are accusing?

orrrr leave him alone

Lets be real, if this was Yasir Qadhi you would be jumping up and down to shoot down any criticism against him. But because Imran doesn’t follow your hizb he is wrong for everything.

Where's your actual evidence brother ?
