I'm here from our systems and in 2020, I did some testing to figure out the best DNS service for filtering out malicious sites. Many of you requested an updated version of this video. So here in 2023, I grabbed an updated list of malicious sites, tested over 8,000 malicious domains against Cloudflare, Quad 9, Next DNS and AdGuard DNS. I'm going to go over the method I used, how you can do it to and of course the results. Let's dive into it. Now, in my last video, I was testing DNS filter and Cisco umbrella, but I'm not testing those now because they're not solutions that we use for our clients. If you're interested in what we're using for our clients, it's a tool called Zeros. You'll find a video link down below if you want to learn more about Zeros for web filtering. It is a commercial product designed for businesses, not for essentially any home users. I figured this has more of a target towards people who set this up in their home lab are looking for a free DNS service. So I focused on these ones. Next DNS hands down was one of the most popular requested ones. When I did my first video, AdGuard DNS I chose because it's also one that a lot of people have messaged me and requested. Cloudflare is the basis for just filtering versus non filtering. Cloudflare doesn't do any filtering at their 1111. They do offer their family filtering at 1112. So I tested both of those. So it's not just Cloudflare, but also what they refer to as Cloudflare for families. The too long didn't watch this video is I still prefer Quad9. I've got some videos you can find on Quad9. They are a nonprofit organization dedicated to your privacy and providing DNS. I think they're awesome. But I wanted to take a look at these other ones because many people requested it. And why not take 8,000 domains and see how they resolve. Now in my 2020 video, I was pulling from the Sands internet storm center list. This seems like a pretty relevant list, but I also did a follow-up video talking about, well, that this list wasn't that great. Matter of fact, right after I did the video in May, in June, DNS filter actually reached out to Sands. This is actually still a challenge today in 2023. There's not some incredible awesome feeds list that I'm aware of that I would say is the definitive list of this is all the bad sites. Because this is constantly a cat and mouse game and quite challenging for what's a bad site and Wednesday's site be removed. And we'll get to some of the results because there's some nuance in that. It's really kind of challenging of what a site is still on the list, but maybe shouldn't be. We'll cover that momentarily. But since the Sands list is gone, I did get the list from zone files. They have a pretty extensive compromised domain list and 17,969 is on there now. But also I needed to clean this up a little bit and let me explain why. Now, first I downloaded this list, but then I said, well, let's just throw out all the RU domains and dot top domains for reasons. Probably just because that's what spammers like to use or whatever these malicious sites were used for. Lots of dot top domains were here.  That way, if a domain was blocked, all the sub domains are probably blocked, but they're all just incremental. And it just made a lot of extra noise and would have made the test take a lot longer. And also these were also sometimes domains that ended in dot top and not usually the dot com. Matter of fact, I focused the list on ending in dot com because those are the most common ones. And many of those are typosquadding ones. The list to be a little bit more serious versus yeah, great, you blanketed out this extra 8000 that pretty much were garbage looking domains. Many of the domains that did make it in once I filtered for dot com were a whole lot of typosquadding domains in that list. So you can download that list, but I can't show you the list as a creator on YouTube. I have learned if I were to show you the list for educational purposes, there's a strong chance YouTube would say, hey, look at that person showing typosquadder domains and stop me from showing it or stop this video from being seen. This is an issue of takedown. This has happened to several milder tech friends, just sometimes covering cybersecurity. But you can download the list yourself and look through the domain yourself with this methodology. I ran the same bash script as before. I'll have a link down below to that. We'll talk about the script in a moment. I use a spreadsheet to audit and clean the data. These are the result files, essentially. AdGuard always returns a block page or result. That's an important thing to realize because I'm just using the is it blank when I dump this onto a spreadsheet. Some have zero, zero, zero response and others have blank. So I made sure also if there was a zero, I changed them all to blank in the same way I changed the block page result to blank. Because what I'm doing a spreadsheet is really easy to say if these are blank to come up with the statistics and numbers out of the 8000 sites that were tested. Using the count blank option and spreadsheet easy enough to do and remove domains that had errors. Some errors were kind of weird. It just wouldn't resolve and not always consistent between any one of them. So if any one of these didn't resolve the domains, there weren't very many, maybe just a hundred of these out of the 8000. I would say I'm just going to throw out the whole result because for some reason one of the DNS as I attested just chose not to resolve it. I figured I didn't want to skew the stats that way in any way and it's such a small number, not a big anomaly. But I always want to make sure my data methodology is here. This is the script. Don't bother to screenshot it. It's way easier to go click the forum post link and you can just copy and paste this and run this yourself. But you'll see how I put it in there. Now let's talk about the results because this is where things get interesting. Domains resolved out of the 8333. Cloudflare resolved 2,750 of them. So 33% of them. Now these are all supposed to be malicious domains. Cloudflare, the 1112, which is the Cloudflare for families does 25% of the main. So 2105. And I thought this was interesting. So I started looking at which ones one would do and not the other. It seemed like some of them were gambling sites and occasionally adult sites. So things that may be filtered out and I don't know exactly what would make these sites malicious other than well, they're a million pop-ups and we'll get to that. I did spot check a lot of these and they're pretty much universally listed in things like virus total for bad URLs. Next DNS actually resolved a little bit more than Cloudflare. Nine more domains. So next DNS, the free version. I didn't have to sign up because I didn't exceed their limits for how many queries I can do from one IP. That was just resolving that most of these sites resolved. So I thought that was strange. It didn't really filter them out. Back over to quad nine point seven nine percent. So only 66 sites out of 8333 resolved and ag guard to say it only resolved 41. Now I was thinking what's the 25 domain difference and maybe there's just 25 more domains that quad nine. That's not exactly what happened. It's not that they resolved exactly 25 more domains and they were all the same except for these extra 25. They're different. The 41 and 66 resolved actually don't match between ag guard and quad nine. So they started going through the sites that they did resolve and it's a little strange, but I think this is just the way that these work and when they loaded the filter up with this list of domains or whatever, wherever they're getting their list. I don't know that they pull this list from zone files. I have no idea. But wherever they're getting their threat intelligent list, they probably match pretty close except for these small discrepancies. But that comes down to things like this, some of the domains that did resolve from quad four of that 66 from cloud player and the 41 from ag guard. Sometimes they were like this domain has been suspended. So they're actually redirected somewhere else. That's not malicious anymore. Now some of these were basic WordPress installs. I think they got flagged not because the WordPress install that I could see was infected, but probably when they set it up, they did something really basic. And then someone loaded some landing page deeper in there. I, it only gives you the DNS. I don't know exactly the full URL. So it doesn't mean there's not something embedded in this hello world website I came across, but there could be temporarily down for maintenance. I think these were and this is a common one. There were a lot of down for maintenance that are usually artists sites. And I say artists like travel bloggers and people who have a lot of graphics intensive things, which are probably a lot of WordPress plugins on their site. And probably not maintained. So a lot of these were sites like that. And some were just down for maintenance. Some were not down for maintenance. And maybe had been cleaned and maybe got after they cleaned it requested that they get delisted. And that could be why they were listed that nothing stood out as malicious on those particular sites. And a whole lot of them that were the extras that resolved by quad nine were this hosting or seems to be one of the more popular ones, but they're basically parked domains. And they looked malicious because some of these were definitely similar typosquadding had the word PayPal in it had the word Microsoft in it. One of them was actually for a Libre Libre office updates, something along those lines. So lots of typosquadding and but they landed on pages like this. So the site has been taken down. They're just back to a default domain page. Same with a lot of them are for sale from GoDaddy. This was parked courtesy of GoDaddy by this domain. But all the ones that were listed at least at some point in time, like this one was last analysis a month ago, they were just showing things like, hey, 29 days ago, this was analyzed and it's malicious. So all the different sites that were missed, if you will, by AdGuard and the quad nine were on the list at least for going to virus total. But it didn't necessarily tell me exactly what's wrong with the site and it could say could have been fixed. I mean, I've had to work with clients who've been on malicious sites. And then you have to go and try to get yourself unmarked as malicious. That was definitely a challenge sometimes because you got to figure out where to, you know, unmark it depending on where and who is flagging you. Now, the big challenge from this test is the validity of that source file. This is a challenge I had before with the sands when I used in 2020, which was completely pointed out to me from the people at DNS filter had a conversation with them just about how kind of wrong it is. And if this filtering never gets updated because of a site being temporarily marked malicious, should it still be on the list? How long should it be?  Especially a lot of these travel bloggers and things like that. They're just kind of personal sites that, you know, they're not really doing typosquadding. They didn't have malicious intent. They accidentally became malicious, but then get fixed. And because a lot of them were on that list for resolved by AgGuard and Quad9, and they seem to be fine when I looked at them, nothing popped up, nothing stood out for me. Are those really invalid? And is that list the problem, not the AgGuard site or the Quad9 site? Either way, Quad9 is still my go-to over the other ones because of them being a nonprofit, because I've had good engagement interaction and understanding of what they do that they don't have any methodology for collecting other data on you. They don't have any service to sell you or anything like that. I've got some videos where I dove deep with them. They also got sued by Sony, which is a crazy story in itself because why would Sony care about DNS? Well, that video is linked down below if you want to find out. Check it out. It's definitely a wild ride of Sony trying to circumvent copyright by going after DNS. Kind of blew my mind. What it makes you realize is how awful of a company Sony is, by the way. Let me know in the comments down below which DNS is the one you like, what other things I could do to the test. And if you find my test flawed, please, there's a reason I left all the data for how I did this out there. I want one, you'd be able to do this. If you would like to test some other DNS service that I didn't, well, there's the Bash Script. You can run this yourself. You can see the rate limiting in the Bash Script, which is why I want to reduce things, because if you flood the DNS, they will start to stop responding at you. So there is a one-second pause. So even 8,000 domains takes quite a bit of time to go through. If you want to increase that list and add those RU1 backs in, yeah, knock yourself out. There's a reason, as I said, I try to focus on just the .com ones for things I think more likely people would click on. Either way, like and subscribe if you want to see more content from here. Leave your thoughts and comments down below, and I'll see you over in the forums. Thanks.


y difficult planning you know taking risks that we don't know when they're you know when exactly they'll bear fruit it's you know really going to be important work okay that was probably too much but there you go um better than a repetition of the uh of the um transit acronyms um colleagues any other questions or comments for any of our transportation folks just councilmember freeman thank you mr. mayor um I just wanted to really um echo your sentiments and acknowledging that this is a very huge long-term commitment to making sure that our community has the resources to to not have to just drive to work or to doctor's appointments or what have you and I just want to echo that that this is when I say like that move to an equitable engagement blueprint helps to solidify our unified support across the city and the county so that we're all on the same page and ways in which I know it probably felt painful in the first couple of months when I kept saying that but now that we're here you can probably see the difference and I know that the the conversations that you're talking about are being had and you know we'll continue to keep pressing I know that this this team is very transit friendly and uh I am I'm committed I just wanted to to just let you know that in this I am very committed to seeing us through to a very a much cleaner greener future with uh rail and buses at the same time and whether that's at the state or the federal level those funds will be coming through they are gonna have to they're gonna have to pony up because we cannot do it by ourselves and I know that this community will find revenue resources whether they're private uh corporate even uh we have to come up with a solar plant whatever it is we'll come up with it and we will make sure that it happens because I know we all have children in this and we're all making sure that our children have access to clean air and clean water and these things matter so I just wanted to I didn't want you to leave without a response I'm sure the rest of the council would say the same thing and I will I will leave it at that but um I thank you for your leadership on on making those points because it is a it's hard in the weeds we live in the weeds of like looking at plans and talking about you know all those acronyms that everyone doesn't follow but we're getting there and I'm confident I really I'm probably overconfident but I'm I'm in it for the long haul this mayor shul I know you are council member thank you very much for those comments I know that you are all right colleagues um I think we've done it for this item and I want to express my appreciation to Mr. Egan to Mr. Cain to Ms. Ortiz Ms. Marookian and I may have forgotten somebody Ms. Ganser thank you so much appreciate you all right colleagues we're we're down to the getting towards the end here and I'm going to first ask the city clerk to talk to us about items one and two good afternoon council uh item one is the Raleigh Durham airport authority the mayor's nominee for reappointment that is your your uh decision and you're a prerogative on that one Mr. Mayer yes right I just wanted to make a remind us that's on the agenda for next time thank you okay and number two is the safety and wellness task force appointment we have a a listing of appointments or no of nominations that you've made for appointment and um under the category of community organizing Shanice Hamilton has been nominated under public policy Jennifer Carroll justice involved Cynthia Smith and at large Isaac Villegas and Jesse and Huddleston all right um is that all the categories yes okay great all right thank you very much thank you madam clerk and thank you colleagues um okay uh now we'll move to settling the agenda and I think also manager page if you could give us an estimate on when we think we'll be hearing back on the um violence interrupters yes um mr mayor thank you I um uh we will be bringing uh to you at the January 7th work session all options and costs um regarding expanding balance interrupters uh thank you I have to say that we have been working on that every week uh we do have to coordinate that work with Durham County as well as their partners that they use in helping to structure that program as well as administer it certainly we had to become familiar with it ourselves so that we can ask the questions for you as well as bring along you know any others that that we feel it would be relevant during the discussion but we anticipate at that meeting for you to provide us with direction and we will provide you with options and funding um as well as you know to include funding options as well as geographic options on how to uh how we would recommend expanding balance interrupters in our community so that will be January 7th thank you very much manager page can you also uh are you ready to settle the agenda yes I am um with with one one question if I may um on on item three um from my um listening we were um we are thinking that the motion is going to be changed on that item to reflect the the discussion here but we have it currently placed on the consent agenda is that I think that's fine I don't think anyone would object to that being on consent with a new motion colleagues can I hear see some thumbs on that okay great thank you very much oh okay with that uh I am ready to set the agenda uh for the consent agenda this question sorry you're of course you can absolutely thank you sir um um manager page thank you so much good to see you um I wanted to ask your and I appreciate sorry appreciate the forecast we could not expect to hear it back um based upon that January date how maybe this is well Mr. Mayor this is manager how how realistic um do you think it will be that this uh any action we take on violence interruption if we choose to will not be part of the regular budgetary cycle but could be taken on um an emergency footing um yeah on emergency footing or or should the city just realistically expect us to be bundled into the regular budgeting process can you have any wisdom on that I can speak to that right now we there are sources that we can go to to provide one time funding um with the knowledge that any time one time funding involves recurring costs into a future budget that that becomes an automatic component of our base budget going forward so that is that is the answer there there are sources of one time funding including our fund balance including you know other savings that we may have during an operating year and certainly we do not pay for particularly in an interlocal agreement uh with Durham County we wouldn't we would not pay for all of that up front so it would be a prorated amount um based upon the execution of the interlocal agreement to the next um to the beginning of the next fiscal year so all of that would be part of the financial uh consideration in many of our interlocal agreements that we have with the county we pay one-twelfth of the amount uh each month and then we do a reconciliation at the end of the year so based upon the conditions of the agreement you know if if it's for for salaries and positions are vacant you know that is what constitutes our reconciliation to actual costs okay um thank you for that so much i really appreciate that thank you mr mayor thank you council member all right um madame manager let's um let's settle the agenda all right so for the consent agenda we have items one through sixteen and for the general business agenda public hearings we have items 19 through 22 thank you very much uh you've heard the manager's agenda can i hear a motion that we settle the agenda second moved by council member freelon seconded by council member freeman madame clerk please call the roll mayor shul hi mayor pro tem johnson hi council member caballero hi council member freeman hi council member freelon hi council member middleton i vote i council member east hi thank you thank you madame clerk the eyes have it the motion passes unanimously colleagues before we adjourn i do want to remind us of our of our schedule coming up which is an unusual schedule we have our monday night meeting uh as usual uh 10 days from now but then the following day the 22nd of december we have a work session on tuesday uh in order to make sure that staff and everybody else is able to enjoy themselves for the holidays does member caballero are we going to get the work session agenda a little earlier so that we don't have this kind of turnaround we know usually those two days helps i will ask the manager if she thinks we'll be able to get some of that earlier i have not had that discussion with the with the preparers or staff but i can certainly follow up and provide an answer to the council on that madame manager even just one day would make a huge difference thank you so much okay well we'll get back to you on we'll be doing a lot of reading over that weekend i have to bake i don't want to read and we're going to be doing a lot of baking you're so can have the ipad there be mixing scrolling it's fine i've already made my hanukkah cookies i want you to know are we gonna get to eat those hanukkah cookies this year i said are we gonna get to eat those hanukkah cookies this year i should have at least held what up that you could be jealous tonight's the first night right tonight's the first night happy hanukkah happy hanukkah thank you bye everybody have a great weekend thank you for an excellent meeting i thought it was a really good meeting and i appreciate you and uh we'll see you soon bye


myself in Utrecht and someone else compared others to Utrecht but then with a hill and a sea. And I was like, yeah, okay, I'll go there. That sounds good. Which it definitely was. So I would really recommend this city to everyone who kind of likes the city but also still, I'd say like you still have your own time, your own, it's a quiet city but there's still enough to do. And I really like that about this place. I could see myself living here for a little while as well and it's really good. I knew in Denmark it was a really nice country and a very international country and we would speak English so it was a good choice. I didn't find this this course in any other university in Europe so that's the main read and I chose this class. I chose a course named Journalism, ICT and Digital Media. I'm thinking maybe later to enroll as an PhD so I'm not so sure which path do I want to take but I think so I think this course will help me to find where do I belong. It's been a really good experience. It was really nice. I got to know a lot of international people both via my class and the social program and I had a really amazing time with them and the course was fun and interesting as well but it also left me enough time to still do the things I want to do so I feel like I really got to know Armas as well and it's been a long time going to Masiya, going to Nice Cafe, sitting there studying, going shopping and making day trips to other cities so yeah I got a really great time.  You get to meet people from almost everywhere and then with the events organized by the International Center you get also to meet the Danish people to be more into the Danish culture. Bowling, because that really reflected for me the nature of summer university. All the international students together and doing activities drinking a little bit and having fun. I actually really liked the social program. Before I came here I wasn't quite sure whether I should sign up or not and I signed up on the last possible day to be honest but then I immediately signed up for everything and I'm really happy with that choice because I did a lot of things that I might otherwise not have done. It was a good experience. It gives us the opportunity to meet new people, to meet people that maybe are following other courses so maybe we wouldn't talk to them if not in the social program. Best summer ever. Yellow, European, international, quality, intense, formative, campus, interactivity, integration and exciting.


تشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دادا وياله من شراف عظيمي نمى ثلاثة باستخدام الانتقال والدموكرسي my beloved brothers and sisters is that you're allowing the disbelievers to throw accusation against the Sharia that it's deficient, that it can't do its job are you with me when the Muslims jump on the bandwagon of elections and democracy the disbelievers look at the Muslims and they say to them you see how this system is what the world needs Sharia law is not what's right you guys are affirming it look at it, you're jumping on that you're jumping on the bandwagon and Allah تعالى تعالى told us the religion of Islam is not deficient and it's a complete religion اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الإسلام الدينة I have completed my religion onto you are you with me and I have established my blessing onto you and I have become pleased with Islam as a religion for you Allah تعالى تعالى as a religion as I said before cannot be deficient how can it be deficient it's based upon what knowledge of that which was that which is happening that which is to happen in the future and even that which hasn't happened if it was to happen how it would have happened but by you taking democracy and elections is you actually allowing Islam to be criticised and Allah says to the Prophet وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِيْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَلَةَ فْسِيرًا وحمد they don't bring you any parables they don't bring you any argumentations they don't bring forward anything except we bring you better and more greater أزو الله تعالى تعالى says وكذلك نفصلوا الآيات ولي تستمين سبيل المجرمين we clarify the verses for you so the parts of the criminals become clear for you وصول الله سبحانه وتعالى he says this Quran is the one that guides the best of affairs الله says أولاً يكفيهم is it not enough for them أن أنزل عليك الكتاب that we have sat down on you in the Quran يُتلع عليهم it is read onto them إن في ذلك لرحمة in this there's mercy we declare reminder the coming to a people who are believers الله says what is after the truth except this guidance الله says ونزل عليك الكتابة تبيانا لكل شيء وهوداً ورحمة ومشرع للمسلمين الله says we have sat down on you in the book تبيانا لكل شيء it clarifies it explains everything for you وهوداً it's a mercy a guidance ورحمة it's a mercy ومشرع it is glad tidiness ومشرع it is glad tidiness ومشرع it is glad tidiness ومشرع it is glad tidiness ومشرع it is glad tidiness for the believers الله says لن أفهم ما فرطنا في الكتابة من شيء we have not left anything in this book ثم إلى ربهم يحشرون so the Quran is something that came and it clarifies everything and our message عليه الصلاة والسلام عليك what did he say ما باعت الله الله has not sat down من نبيه any prophet إلا كان حقا علي أن يدل أمته على خير ما يعلمه ونه الله did not send a prophet except it was obligatory on him to tell his ummah every good there is that he knows and toward them of every evil that he knows is going to come are you with me brothers brothers the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام he said الله did not send a prophet except it was upon him it was binding obligatory on that prophet to tell his people every good he knows and toward them of every harm he knows did the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم عليه tell us to elect if this was something we needed to do and it was something that was going to why didn't he tell us عليه صلاة والسلام because you can't say elections are my new issue why would he even speaking about it you yourself are saying it's not a light issue you're saying it's farot it's warajib warajib that the person who leaves it's aatim صلاة عودي بالله from it being شرق بالله it turned to wajib عودي بالله but rather look what he told us rather what he told us is not election he told us I have left I have left you you'll never misguided after them what is it كتاب الله و صنة أم أصنة those are the two things I have left for you salvation is in those judge by those live by those implement those number four the fourth harm that democracy and election has is what تميع الولاي والبرا the concept of الولاي والبرا is watered everybody who has tasted the sweetness of an iman سيدك يساعدك ويقومين بهو يدينك ويقومون ببعض المسجد الذين امينوا اتفاقون الله الذين كانوا يقيمون الطلاة ويقومون بتواصيل البرار ويؤتهوا للزكات ويعيبهم زكات وهم راكيعوا لمساعدك في نظام رقوق وما يتولى الله افتحوا اي شخص الذي يأخذ الله ويستمعه ومؤخذنا كما يبقون أصديقه فإن الحزب الله هم الغالبون تباً من الله ان يكوني فكتوريس وغالب لن يكون لدينا الغالبة كيف سنجد الغالبة كيف سنجد الغالبة المفتاحة عن ما يحدث الله يتكلمنا الغالبة لنفتاح عندما يأتي مع أثابتل الله عندما يأتي مع ولاعف الله ومسجده ونفتاح ونرقبوا أن يتفرقوا من الأنميز من الإسلام عندما يتفرقون themselves من الأنميز اليوم المفتاحة التي يتفرق بها اليوم أن الأنميز هو حرام ويعتقد أن هذا هو ما أخبرني هنا بسبب أني سأجد من أصدقائي أصدقائي والكراهات والتولي والبراءة كل ذلك لأني كل ذلك ومسجد ذلك ومسجد ذلك ومسجد ذلك ومسجد ذلك إن شاء الله لأن الأشياء والولاء والبراء لا يوجد value يوجد no value in what an issue of election and what not الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول إن كان أباؤكم وأبناءكم وأخوانكم وأزواجكم وأشيارتكم وأموان نقترفتمها وتجارة تخشون كسادها ومساكن ترضونها أحب إليكم من الله ورسول وجهاد في سبيل فتربسوا حتى يأتي الله بأمري و الله له دلقوم الخاصة في السقين الله يقول لكم في المأثّة أم هكذا أم باتك أم باتك أم باتك أم باتك حكة بإمكانه ومالك such كل ذلك يكون متأكد أن يم تحبك ويبقى للك أن الله يحبيا ويجات في السبيل وأصدق بالطبق بأمود من الناس الله يقول فتربسوا يأتينا حتى بأمري يجب أن تأخذه على جميعكم ، والله و لا يهدي القوم الفستقين ، الله لا يساعد أن يساعد المساعدين. إذا كنت أخبرنا. إذا كنت أسمع إلى الله ، كنت أسمع إلى this discussion that was happening in the issue of democracy and the elections and the one who proposed against that Muslim should elect and that is obligatory. This year he said it's obligatory. That the Muslims elect. What's sad is that when I was listening to the whole discussion and I was listening to what the arguments that were being brought, that's one of the arguments that if you look at the Muslim neighborhoods, the rubbishes and the way it looks is because the MPs are not doing their job. They. وما ساكنوا ترضونها. أحب إليكم من الله و رسوله. دراهب معدودة. Just so you can. Your house is going to look good. Really the truth of the matter why election is needed is why. Have you heard from them that لصرت الديني الله تعالى that the religion of Allah is going to go up. Do you hear that from them? Rather they say if you get elected through democracy, like one of them is Erdogan who is the Turkish leader. He doesn't have to judge by the book of Allah. He doesn't have to. Because the people who chose him, why did they choose him? To judge them by this constitution and this democracy. أعوذ بالله. أعوذ بالله. Even he himself Erdogan. He said I want a secular state. Clearly. I don't want no Khilafa. He took him a Khilafa. Secular state. And you know what's funny?  What it is is that they say that when I give the advice later I'm going to be speaking about it more. Which is the way we say that it should be tackled this issue. They say you guys, your arguments is a secular argument. You're kind of dividing the Shari'a from the Why? By saying democracy and that is Islam. Democracy is based upon secular. The people are the ones who judge. Where are you bringing the religion from? Democracy is what? The secular concept. It's nothing to do with Islam. And you're saying right now that he doesn't even have to judge by the book of Allah. So you're saying secular should govern the people. And democracy should. Well I have never seen anybody who goes against the Haq who's consistent upon what he says. Allah says in the Quran Every time a person goes against the truth you find they are upon they are upon confusion. Within the first part of the video I watched in the middle in the first part he goes we don't even need to prove evidence and we don't even it's مباح عصالة and then you go the Sahab has done it the Sahab of Bakr and Omar if a Bakr and Omar done it we were told to follow them so it becomes wajib but then you just said it's مباح ما رأيتو احد الخالفة الدليل I've never seen anyone who goes against the dailil except what for whom في أمري مريج confusion and the only way to be consistent my beloved brothers and sisters is to follow the Kitab and the Sunnah أخواني these people are the best of generation these are the best of generation you don't have to go out of your way to use your brain too much and thinking you're sufficed والله you're sufficed قف حيط وقف القوم stand where the people stood don't exceed them so really the issue of democracy and election in this country today is so the believers can just get extra rice and bread now that's what it really is so we're going to go against all of these my facet just so we can have extra bread and the prices of the bread can go down now I just say to that individual والله يتوب إلا الله I repent to Allah والله يتوب إلا الله these statements are very dangerous and they're very dangerous and they're very serious statements والله it is not عيب it's not a problem يتوب المرأ that a Muslim to repent إلا ربي to his Lord we see وحشي who killed قاتل حمزة he killed Hamza but when he came to Islam what did he say I today I'm going to repent from what I did in my days of disbelief and he killed another person I'll condemn so he expiated for that so repent by propagating the Shari'a to be implemented and والله we're not saying in any way formal shape that these people are we seek refuge in Allah to say that but what I do say is والله they have caused harm to Islam by these actions and these statements of this and what is open for them is this is the path every person who has committed sin وصادق and is truthful والله they're truthful person will always come back to Allah والله والله the next the next harm that it has is we don't even know if the election is going to take place all of it is based upon مجرد الظن والتقمين والأهم it's all just based upon speculation and assumption you all know what happened recently in مجرد الظن والتقمين والتقمين والتقمين is an example for you the Muslims all voted for what Hillary Clinton I don't know if she was worse on Donald Trump I don't know كيف فرقتو بينامه how have you divided between the two أنا مأدين والله the point is that the point I'm saying brothers is what did it work so you want me to fall into this mafasid based upon what مجرد الظن تخمين وهام دلوجن سبكيليشن ونسمشن والله ربق الناس for that الله says إي يتبيعون وألا الظن وما تهول النفوص that they follow The speculation and assumption that which their نفس is in desires with Allah says وإن تطبيق أكتاب فالأرض يضيليك عن سبيله إي يتبيعون إلا الظن وإن هم إلا يخرصون الله says The process Jesus إي وضن فإن الظن أكتب الحبيث من تشكيل ومعاقب لأن تشكيل ومعاقب هو أكتب الحديث هو أكتب الأشياء لا يمكنهم أن أتكلم لا يمكنهم أن أقول لك نعم 100% سنوات سنوات لا يمكنهم لا يمكنهم أريد أن أقول لك هل تعتقد أنك هل تعتقد أنك أن هذه الكفار يفتح جنون ومعاقب هذه الألقائيات أنها ستعمل معهم لا يمكنهم أن يعمل معهم أوه نعم لا يمكنهم أن يعمل معهم هل يمكنهم أن يكون لديهم قوة ومعاقبهم هل أنت هناك؟ لأن إذا كان هذا الشخص يتكلم حتى إذا كانه يتكلم وأنه يتكلم وأنه يتكلم يوجد قوة قوة قوة قوة يوجد قوة قوة قوة قوة هل أنت معي؟ إذا كان هذا القوة قوة الإنتبار أو إذا يوجد قوة قوة قوة هل يتكلم؟ لذا when he does come into power my beloved brothers and sisters the truth of the matter is لا يمكن أن يتكلم هل أنت؟ لا يمكن أن يتكلم أوه يمكن أن يتكلم ببقاء الله والله هو الذي يقول to you خلال دموكرسي سأتكلم ببقاء الله هو شخص who is either lying أو is a person who doesn't know what he is saying he doesn't know what's coming out of his head he doesn't know what's coming out of his head and that we shall Allah تعالى we're going to speak about it when we speak about the shabu hat that they bring that the next method that he has is that this is actual in a position to the prophet's methodology علي الصلاة والسلام how the prophet he faced and dealt with the enemies of al-Islam are you with me brothers? how is it that the prophet dealt with these individuals? the way he dealt with them was to oppose them that's how he dealt with them not to join them هل هذا ليس فكرة؟ when he came to Medina, he didn't say to them, listen, let's work together, let's be friends. He didn't say that عليه الصلاة والسلام. He was distinct and unique and he was known to oppose them. Even they admit that. Even in the things that were legislated in our religion and it's a reminder of our religion, he went against them in that way he does it. For example, the fasting of عشراء. What did the Prophet say? If I leave the next year to come, I will fast on the night. I will oppose these people. They only fast on the tent, I'm going to oppose them by fasting on the night. Look at it. That the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام, he wanted to turn to the Ka'ba. That was where his desires was. And that's what he wanted. He used to look at the sky. Allah says, We see your face turning around in the sky because he was waiting for the revelation. He said, when is it going to come? Allah says, Then Allah says, Why was it that he hated it? Because he pleased the Jews that were there. He pleased them. He said, So our Messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام, the way he dealt with these people and the way he was, it was not this methodology that these people are taking. It was to distinguish himself from them and to not be with them. And we all know, قوله تعالى the statement of Allah. قولي يا اهل كافرون. لا عبد ما تعبدون. ولا انتم عبدون ما عبدون. ولا انتم عبدون ما عبدون. ولا انتم عبدون ما عبدون. لكم دينكم اليدين. We need to say to these people of democracy and elections. We need to say لكم دينكم اليدين. Are you there? I believe my religion should govern the world. You believe yours. اهلكم دينكم اليدين. We can't come together. There's no way to bring us together. There's no way to bring us together. One or the other. The next مفسد that it has is that انتخابات. Elections is a وسيلة. It's a means which is prohibited. Are you there? Election is what they say today is ألغاية تبرر الوسيلة. ألغاية تبرر الوسيلة. Those who are saying election, election is trying to say the means justifying the ends. Those who are trying to fool the people by saying to them that we're bringing about the judgment of the law of Allah. Some of them are actually clear now. They've told the people. It's become clear to the people. They've told them we're not even heading towards judging by the law of Allah. We're not heading that direction. But those who are still lying to the people who are saying to them that the law of Allah is coming from this. Or we're lessening the harm. We're not trying to bring the law of Allah but we're lessening the harm. What they're trying to say is that even though it's a means which is haram it justifies the goal. Are you with me, brothers? Is this قاعدة that we accept? Are you with me, brothers? This قاعدة is a قاعدة صهيونية. قاعدة زينس قاعدة. It's the principle that they believe. Our religion, the قاعدة that he believes is ألو السائل لحكام المقاصد. We believe the means has the ruling of the goal. If the goal is haram, the means is also haram. Are you with me, brothers? That's what we believe. I ask each and every one of you to look at the book written by ابن القيم الجوزية. He's إعلام. He mentions 99 evidences of matters which are haram. Are you with me? The means are haram because of the goal. 99. 99. One is all I'm going to take. Which is that the Prophet prohibited building graves. Why did he prohibit building graves? Because it's a means to what? A means to shirk. It's a means to what? Shirk. Also, elections devise the believers. And it weakens them. And it takes away their unity. Because who is good for the Muslims is a subjective. Are you there? I might, for example, look at the conservative party and say there, foreign affairs is better than the Labour's foreign affairs. But the Muslims within the UK, Labour might be better for them and conservative may. May not be good for the Muslims in the country. Are you there? So what is it that governs which one is best? No, for you to say that. When you're saying that, we have to elect this. On what grounds have you built that this party is good for the Muslims? Are you there? And since everybody's way of looking at things is not the same, you cause division amongst the Muslims. And you break their so forth. And you're not able to bring them together unless you unite them on a religion. As Allah says in the Quran, إن الذين فرقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعا لست منهم في شيء إنما أمرهم إلى الله ثم ينبيهم بما كانوا يفعلون.  وكانوا شيعا and they became groups. لست منهم في شيء you have nothing to do with them, Muhammad. Are you with me brothers? Brothers, pay attention. What is it that they went against each other on? Their religion. And based on that, they became what? These United groups. They differed in their religion and Allah straight away said وكانوا شيعا. They became what? They became groups. لست منهم في شيء. You have nothing to do with what? With them. So pay attention, brothers. Pay attention. What did I say before? Democracy is based upon what? Majority, right? إذا The Rafiidi may see a masala in the conservative. The people are united. Because the Rafiidi, he sees the Iran and the conservative Kuwait together. إذا فولان is this. Are you there? So he believes that this country and etc. One of the things that shocked me about one of the discussions that I was watching on one of those individuals who were saying that election should be done and it's obligatory this year. And it's sad. The questioner who was putting the question to him he said Why is it that there is no united effort that should be taken that should be taken in order to bring about the correct results. There's no unity unlike the response that was given. And I thought this question was valid. This is it. Why is that are the Muslims not united? And for that are you there? When we become united are you with me brothers? Do you have strength? Then we can start to think about the issue of majority and the election and whatnot. Based on their argument of course. They said we don't need to do that. Not at all. Putting our efforts in that is unnecessary. And we're saying uniting the people means bringing them all back to the religion that would unite them. Because their eyes say They differed in their religion and based on that they became groups. So here if you can't even bring the Muslims together and they can't sit together because they all hold different opinions and different views. Are you there brothers? How is it that you can bring a Well in that case if you look at what happened to Morsi in Egypt Are you there? Morsi came through in Egypt How did he come through? How did he come about? He came through a democratic election. He was elected. صحيح. Are you there? After that what did they do to him? They played a game on him. They got the people to go against him. Because the issue of democracy is what? Pay attention. When the Muslim brothers went against but Hussein Mubarak pay attention I want you to understand this point. When the Muslim brothers went against Hussein Mubarak pay attention I want you to understand this point. When the Muslim brothers when they went against Hussein Mubarak it was a Torah they got rid of him they went when Morsi when Morsi the people were against him they started being the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ don't go against the Muslim leader and whatnot but that was used for Mubarak that was used for Mubarak but the secularists laughed they said yesterday you guys came through election right? and you came through what? the choice of there? the people and here are the people now in Tahrir Square they don't want you what are you going to do? and they're the ones who legislate and they're the ones who have Sultanatouh they're the ones who executed they're the judiciary system all of them are Tahrir Square they don't want you you have to go down wasn't it right? the understanding of the علماء which is اطصفية وتربية nurturing the people of At-Tawheed Al-Aqeena صحيحة and the methodology of the Salaf Al-Saleh رضان الله عليها جوايد are you there? brothers with that problem that have occurred they divided the people that's how they got what they wanted and it was all a game all if it was a game the secularists were playing a game from the get go but from the outer what did they show it? that they are following democracy so we say انا الذين فرقودينا هما كانوا الشيعن لست منهم في شيء we have nothing to do with them we have nothing to do with them so لست منهم في شيء you have nothing to do with them or or محمد the next one is the person who's been elected the candidate who's been chosen is only going to speak but he's only going to speak ارضاء الناخيبين he's only going to speak to please the people who are going to elect him he'll say whatever they want to hear he'll lie to them he'll promise them he'll leave them and say to them do you guys want this law that goes against الله الشعب I'll do it for you as Allah said يحليفون بالله لكم ليرضوكم والله ورسوله حقوا يرضوه إن كنتم إن كانوا مؤمنين إن كانوا مؤمنين they'll promise the people who will go even against الشعب الله they'll go against to please you guys we'll do anything for you guys choose us once they get chosen where do they do when you're alone at door they turn their backs you don't see of them anymore so they'll say what they want where have you been in al-Mafsid last but not least the last is election and democracy's concern is number quantity not the quality it is quantity not quality and we know Allah تعالى الربكت وإن تطيق أكثر لما في الارض يضلوك عن سبيل الله إن يتبعون إلا ظن وإنهم إلا يخرصون وما وجدنا وما وجدنا لأكثره من أحد وإن وجدنا أكثرهم لفاسخين رب إنه إنه أضللنا كثيرا من الناس فمن تبيعني فإنهم من عصاني فإنك فررحيم لا خير في كثير من نجوهم إلا من أمر بصدقات لهم عروف وإصلاحي بين الناس يا إيولدين آمنوا إن كثيرا من الأحبان والرهبان لا يأكلوا لأموال الناس بالباطري ويصدون عن سبيل الله إعلموا أن من حياتي دنيا لعمو ولهو وزينة وتفاقر بينكم وتكاثر في الأموال والأولاد فإن you look at the Qur'an the أكثرية أوه الله تعالى الربكت الله says to the prophet if you obey the majority of the people they will misguide you from the straight path أي ده the ones who Allah prays are the minority what does he say كم من فئة قليلة غلبة فئة كثيرة بذن الله how many who are little in number have overcome a lot who are in number with the permission of Allah وقليل من عباد الشقور little of my slaves are the ones who are show gratitude to you وإن كثير من الخلاط إلا يبغي بعضهم على بعض إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا صلحة وقليل من عباد الشقور Anthony انهم جميلة جميلة هنا because they are little they are few in number they are rarely seen so they are strange are you with me and we know the famous Hadith of the Prophet when he said that the nations are going to call on to one another on to you like you call on to food that you are eating so everybody come and eat they come back and say I will literally number that day the Prophet said it doesn't happen to little people ولكنكم وثاء كوثاء السيل you are like the foam Allah places in the hearts of your enemies and Allah places in your hearts الوحل ويزع الرعب رعب من قلوب عاديوكم الله takes the terror and the fear out of the hearts of your enemies وائل لحبكم الدنيا because you love the dunya وكراهية كوم الموت and you dislike it election is what and positions and whatnot and a lot of these people if you look at it who say this is all for Allah's religion if you observe their situation and you look at them a lot of them are on funds that they get paid by that party and not only that that party is promising them after they get into power that they are going to give them money so they say okay I promise I will make sure my community chooses you what is it that you are asking this MP for when it is the local election what is it that you are asking him to do to represent you why have you chosen him because he is giving you دراهي مبعدودة صح he is giving you worldly gain هبكم الدنيا is because of love of this dunya so I say my beloved brothers and sisters those my facet is enough for one person to say you know what stop there that's it that's enough for us to realise now insha'Allah I am going to move on to the next point which is the path how is a muslim leader appointed how is a muslim leader appointed is it through elections through democracy what is the islamic way of a leader to be chosen I hope that the chapter before the مفاصدر انتخابات is sufficient I left so much other points I have left many other مفاصدر he has just so we can insha'Allah move on to the other chapters and find comfort and extra knowledge in those points
