Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim hamdulillah Ramana Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala so even more serene while he or sabe he he
remain a member,
a belated Eid Mubarak to everybody. And I just wanted to
cover something
very shortly.
hamdulillah Allah subhanho wa Taala allowed us to come through
Ramadan, and through the eat as well. eidl fitter, despite the
lockdown.
Of course, there were various different views that we heard as
we went through whether GEOMAR should be performed, how taraweeh
should be performed. And also, finally, there was the discussion
about either fitrah prayer, since the lockdown there wasn't going to
be much of an access to the masjid for most people. So where do you
do your Eid prayer? Do you even do your eat prayer? So there are
various different opinions about this.
early on about two weeks or so before Eid, we from ourselves, we
put out that our understanding was that just like gym operators
should not be reduced to the homes and it is something which is more
of a congregational prayer. Likewise, it is even more of a
congregational prayer. And that's why our suggestion was that
according to our reading of the texts of the Hanafi school, the
there is no such thing as Eid prayer in the houses because it's
supposed to be done together. However, there were other opinions
as well from respectable individuals, respectable scholars,
and respectable move these from around the world. Now, that is all
fine. Later, we didn't put out anything more because we did not
want to add fuel to the fire because what happened is, and
essentially the point of this discussion today is to explain is
to explain very briefly that differences of opinion are
absolutely inevitable, and they are something historical, that
we've had differences of opinion from the time of the Sahaba after
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam departed this world, there were
differences of opinion among the Sahaba themselves. Differences is
a part of life, there's no way you can do away with differences. The
only way you can minimize the difference is if you're in a
Muslim country, where the scholar counsel, the the leader of the
scholar Council, the Mufti, whoever it is the chief, the arch
mufti, once they give a ruling, then everybody would do the same
thing. But even there, you would probably have Allah Ma, who may
have other opinions, but they will not be able to implement those
opinions. Having a difference of opinion, there being two opinions
out there should be seen in a relaxed attitude. As long as
they're coming from religious, righteous practicing and
knowledgeable scholars, then that is completely fine. So the
suggestion in such a thing is that we follow whichever suits us best
in our situation, according to the strength that we see in that
position. If you have no idea or no way to determine the strength
of certain things,
then it's best that you just adhere to one or two scholars who
you've always trusted. You trust their practice, you trust their
learning, their education, their understanding their piety, and you
just go with that. If you're going to wait for this utopian idea that
they can only there should only be one opinion, why can't they get
together, then you'll just be miserable for a very long time.
Because that's just not going to happen. You have to remember we
are going through unprecedented times. I do not believe that ever
in history. There's probably been a ban on eat, press any particular
place like this the way it was, unless it was for oppression
reasons. Right? Aside from that, in a normal non oppression
situation, purely because of a disease or illness because of
measures that are understood today that people have to take. I don't
think there's ever been a situation like that, as we have
had in England, and some other countries during this occasion. So
you're going to get differences of opinion, people will understand
the text differently. Yes, if it was very clear cut in the Quran,
or in the Sunnah in the Hadith, for example, that in this
particular situation, this is what you do. And anybody went against
that, then that would seem as absurd that why would somebody go
against something so explicitly mentioned, where there's nothing
clearly mentioned like this? A lot of it is in third. In some cases,
we're going to have to determine the best possible recourse in a
situation like this. And clearly, there were two opinions, maybe
there were three opinions.
They are all practicable opinions as long as they're coming from
authority as long as they're coming from Obama. So that's why
we have to get used to this idea that that is what's going to
happen even even among all of the same school schemes, school of
thought, right Hana fees or within Hana fees, various different
schools of thoughts, they have a difference of opinion and that is
fine. Hamdulillah that is fine. As long as you went with
Somebody you trusted, then that should be enough for you, it's
going to be inevitable. So it's not something that you need to
worry about. I didn't want to bring this up beforehand
and contribute further to the flames of the fire because
especially towards the end of Ramadan is the time when you're
trying to win the race with Allah subhanho wa taala, you know, in
his site to try to get the best out of Ramadan. And I think
sometimes, either just the first few days into Ramadan, and the
last few days of Ramadan, these kinds of various different topics
creep up, which seem to just disturb the flow, and the actual
ultimate ceiling and completion of Ramadan. So we just didn't want to
get engaged with that. That's why now that we've relaxed after
Ramadan, now we want to just bring this to that in the future when
there's unprecedented times, especially when it's
unprecedented, right, you're gonna have differences of opinion, you
just find and for this, you should do this in your life for
everything. If you if you need answers to things, you find one or
two aroma that you trust for the various different criteria that
I've mentioned, then you just go with them, and understand that
there will be differences in because this world is created with
differences. It's the nature of everything in this world. That's
what it's gonna be like and may Allah subhanho wa Taala allow us
to follow the best, follow the strongest and follow that which is
the most righteous course of action and may Allah then accept
it from all of us. May Allah then accept it from all of us. So
again, a belated Eid Mubarak to all of you and may Allah accept
all of our Ramadan and may Allah have granted us that full reward
on the day of Eid Jazak Allah here
please remember us in your doors and may Allah subhanaw taala bless
you. Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
