Messenger to all humanity.
So today, inshallah, we'll continue talking about
the subject of
putting your trust in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And we said that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is the creator.
He is the provider.
He is the one that takes care of
us in this life.
He told him, if you want
assistance,
ask assistance from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
If you want help, then Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is the one to ask.
And know for sure,
if all humans were to gather together to
benefit you, they can never benefit you with
anything except with what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has written for you. And if they want
to harm you in any way, they cannot
harm you in any way except with what
Allah has written against you.
And they say
in the proverb, if Allah
is with you, you shouldn't worry about who
is against you. But if Allah
is against you, you shouldn't be proud of
who is with you because he's not gonna
help you in any way.
We mentioned the example
of the wife of Zakariya Alaihi Salam.
She was barren, she couldn't produce kids,
and she was 80 years old, but still
she gave birth to Yahya alaihi
salaam. Sala, the wife of Ibrahim
alaihi salaam, she was 90 years old, and
she was buried too. She couldn't produce babies
even if she was 20 years old, but
still she gave birth to a baby,
at the age of 90.
She was 90 years old.
And therefore, Allah
decrees to create something, you just says be
and it is. That's all it takes.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about the
reason why some people don't put their trust
in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and why they become arrogant and they give
their back to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in Surat Al
Halak, indeed
man becomes arrogant, he gives his back to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and he doesn't put
his trust in Allah because this person
thinks he or she is self sufficient.
So some people,
they think they don't need Allah because
they have everything. They have the knowledge, they
have the power, they have the money, they
have the positions, leadership positions. So why should
they need Allah
And there are so many examples in the
Quran.
So a person who was arrogant because of
his knowledge and because of his money, his
Quran
in the Quran,
He says I have been given all this
money because of my knowledge, not because of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the punishment in the Surah was we
destroyed him and his money. Okay?
Thank you. Bye bye with your money.
Or a leader. His pharaoh, the pharaoh.
So in the Quran, he says, I'm your
lord, the most high.
I'm your lord, the most high.
Then what did Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did
to him? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, we
put him to this grace,
and we made him an example to those
who came before him and after him with
his position
and with his, throne.
Thank you. Bye bye
with your
The third type of people, they became arrogant
because of their muscles, because of their health
and their power.
Like the people of Al, they were one
of the tallest people ever lived this earth.
They were very tall and and and healthy
and powerful.
They disbelieved and they said, we don't need
Allah because we're healthy.
What happened to them? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
destroyed them in a week, and the ayah
says, you see their bodies thrown all over
the place,
and they have no skin, and then there
there's no means. Only bones, hollow bones.
There are no muscles, no power.
So by Mohammed your health and your muscles.
So the 4th guy, those who are proud,
those who don't put their trust in Allah
because of their family, because of their social
status.
And one example is the shaitan. He's arrogant.
He said, I'm better than him. Why should
I make sujood to him?
And the end result is, okay, you were
created from the file. You will be punished
in the file in the next life. So
the punishment comes according to
the mistake or the sin they have committed.
So some of us today, they do exactly
the same thing. Look at the tens of
thousands of Muslims all over the city. How
many of them go to Masjid? How many
of them pray the 5 prayers? How many
of them fast in Ramadan?
And some of them are arrogant because of
the old reasons,
because of their knowledge. Some of them say,
okay, I have a PhD. Why do I
why should I pray?
Okay. Believe me, PhD sometimes stands
not for philosophy doctor, but also for permanent
hit damage.
It's the same thing.
And if you have a PhD, it doesn't
mean anything. The prophet
didn't have a master's degree,
They make lots of money, so they don't
need Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And they think they are successful,
although they have probably killed more patients than
Hitler did in World War 2.
They are in a high position in the
society, a police officer for example,
and they probably have more stars on their
shoulder than the sky.
So they think, okay, why should we need
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? Maybe, inshallah,
70 years from today when I retire,
gray hair, falling teeth, a stick, then maybe
inshallah, I can pray, I can go for
Hajj, and, I will clean myself.
You don't know when death comes, man.
So you have to prepare yourself at any
moment that death will come to you. Death
doesn't have any time.
So how does Allah
bring us back to him?
The answer is
And this is mentioned
numerous times in the Quran. Allah
says, when we shower our favors with humans,
they turn their backs to us. But when
we put them to hardship,
they come to us with lengthy dua and
supplications.
And Allah
says, if we have given humans everything they
need in their lives, no one of them
would ever come to Allah and ask for
anything. And this is the clue.
Allah
has distributed his favors evenly among people,
but he left always something missing in your
life.
So you will always raise your hands and
say, Oh Allah, give me this and give
me this. So those who have the money
and the health, they don't have children.
So they always say, Oh Allah, give me
children. They return to Allah
and they ask him. And those who are
the children and the help,
they got no money, they're broke. So we'll
always raise their hands and say, oh Allah,
give me money.
Those who have the money
and the help, they don't have children. So
they raise their hands and say, oh Allah,
give me children.
And therefore, this is the way Allah
brings you back to him always, and you
will always ask him to give you this
and this, and you always rely on him
for everything.
So in the remaining minutes inshaAllah, we'll talk
about 2 issues very briefly from an Islamic
perspective. The first one
is the ban on niqab
when people go to the ceremony to get
their citizenship.
What is the ruling Islamic?
Does the sister have to take off her
for this? And the second one is honor
killing.
Is there anything called honor killing? Of course,
most of you have probably heard of the,
the incident in Ontario.
A Muslim brother killed his 3 daughters and
he killed his wife
because he was suspicious of their behavior.
So in regard to the first one,
when they talk about decency in Islam,
they say that hijab is what achieves decency,
and this is what I I vote for.
The second group, they say,
niqab achieves decency. And we respect hijab, we
respect niqab, both of them, and this is
something between the person and his lord. Both
of them are acceptable Islamic.
Does or do the,
the immigration officers have the right to see
the face of a Muslim sister to identify
or to make sure her identity when she
get the citizenship? Yes. They have this right.
But do they have to force Muslim ladies
to take off their niqab
at the ceremony?
They don't.
Again, a person is free to do whatever
they want. This is ABC democracy and freedom
to do whatever you want, as long you're
not violating any laws, as long as you're
not threatening anyone.
So you have the right to cover your
face if you have
allergy, or if you have flu, or if
you want to wear the laptop. Why should
anyone force you to take off the laptop?
Plus, we don't have a problem with women
walking in the street with bikinis,
and tights, and shorts, but when they cover
up, and they cover their faces, now we
have a problem.
It's a messed up mentality,
man.
With regard to the second one, and we
got 1 minute left.
So with regard to the honor killing, there's
no such thing as honor killing in the
Sharia.
The punishment for a lady, a single, who
is not married, for committing adultery is
the lashes, but not killing.
This is number 1. Number 2, the Sharia
is not applied here, and therefore, the punishment
is not applied. There's no Sharia.
And number 3, even if we were living
in a Muslim country,
and the punishment applies, the Sharia applies, the
punishment is not applied by people in the
street. It is applied by the Imam, or
the judge, or the Muslim court.
Otherwise, it will be a zoo.
And therefore,
there's no such thing as honor killing in
Islam. That's Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
