consider his whining in the second round:
9:50 from what i understood, your catch is only on one thing, which is, light should shift towards sharq, east. thats only the thing [makes an absolute gesture]. did i understand you correctly?
until 10.00 - what mawlana asrar says is not fully audible. but i will assume he explained it to the guy.
at 10.08 the guy gestures with a thumbs up that he has understood it at this moment. and says:
10.08: excellent. so means, light shifting is the start time of fajr, and start time of siyam. did i understand you correctly?
[again shaykh asrar's voice is not clear so i will skip it]
10.21: excellent. you see...now you are taking from my time. because i didn't understand in three minutes what you was actually catching on me. so that is why you was claiming you have to present your claim clearly. but that's fine. i hope that in your 20 minutes, after mine - you will make it clear so i will have my first 15 minutes to actually tackle what you are talking about correctly. thank you.
=============
now let us go back and see what mawlana asrar sahib do to steal his time. [incidentally, that is less than half minute if you ignore his whining...]
at 5.40 shaykh asrar comes on the stage.
around 5.49 he begins to pin the mike..
starts at 5.45:

at 6.05: brothers.
the reason for the debate is to counter a proposition that has been made regarding the fajr time in the months in which the..dawn..the light of dawn does not disappear.
or we would say:
the shafaq - shafaq al-abyad - the white light which appears at sunset, that light does not disappear from the horizon.
6.33: now..when..during those days, when the light does not disappear, the fatwa given by, ustaz soliman and then defended by shaykh atabek is that maghrib prayer can be prayed, after which, a person has the decision to fajr all the way up to sunrise. and after they pray fajr prayer, the fast will commence. the fast will start and suhur will end.
7.08: now, this fatwa..the claim of the fatwa..proposition of the fatwa was that, this fatwa is in accordance with the hanafi school.
7.20: my purpose of countering this fatwa is to say that this fatwa is invalid according to all four schools. it is invalid according to the shafiyi school, hanbali school, maliki school, and the hanafi school. the reason being, that this verdict, contradicts al-qur'an al-karim; it contradicts the position of the hanafi school, that fajr time comes in once the light appears from al-sharq, the east.
8.00: the position that i believe, the opposition party should have taken, is that once the light shifts, from the western horizon, to the east, this would indicate the fajr time.
so people will have, from maghrib time, time to eat suHur, up until the point when the light will shift to the east and the light will begin to grow. because this is in accordance with al-qur'an al-karim, and as ustaz atabek said: in accordance with mutawatir hadith. because we know from the Messenger of Allah SallALlahu alayhi wa sallam, that he alayhi's salatu was salam ordered the companions alayhimu'r ridwan, to stop eating at the time, of the growth of the light.
8.50 once the.. حتى يتبين meaning tabayyun is the actual growth of the light. now the purpose of debating this issue, is to show the mistake that has been made,
9.05 my position is that this proposition, given by ustaz atabek is a mistaken position, and to claim it to be the position of the hanafi school is also mistaken. may Allah sub'Hanahu wa ta'ala make this debate successful, and make us reach the truth. wa'l Hamdu lillahi rabbi'l aalamin.
at 9.21 the shaykh puts down the mike.

for the record, in the first round, atabek goes on the stage at 2.05, pins the mike at 2.09 and says bismillah salat salam...
ERRM! he quickly says
bismillah alhamdulillah salatu salam ala rasulillah and i didn't catch it in the 3 seconds he said it. my previous accusation on him was incorrect - i acknowledge. it was so fast i didn't catch yesterday. my bad. anyway, apologies on missing it - but in my defence i will say that he said is so fast, that i simply missed it. regardless, no hesitation in acknowledging my mistake.

shaykh asrar clearly stated his position, which atabek couldn't understand in 3 minutes. because hearing is not the same as listening. a donkey can hear, but you cannot say that it is listening.
but the cheek, he accuses shaykh asrar of stealing his time for his own inability to not understand. so how can you debate a donkey who needs to be told twice the same thing and yet he accuses you of not making him understand - his stupidity is your fault!
by attacking shaykh asrar even before he had said a word and consigning it to foggy, he tried to set the narrative - poison the pond. admirably, shaykh asrar didn't go after the red herring.

am just pointing out the preliminaries. atabeck is just a donkey.
