There's going to be cases when we learn something from when you read

00:00:02 --> 00:00:06

something in the Quran and Sunnah, that it's going to create a

00:00:06 --> 00:00:11

confusion in our mind, what does that mean? How do I apply that?

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

What about in this particular scenario? How does that apply

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

that? Yes, you get that. So what I do is I will go and try to find

00:00:18 --> 00:00:23

out from the more deeper books for the most profound books. So, yeah,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

those kinds of things happen, but it will never make me think they

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

could this be that the Quran is wrong.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

You know, when you see a verse and it doesn't make sense to you

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

straight away, should my approach me, hey, that means the Quran

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

might be wrong, that doesn't happen to hamdulillah Okay, in a

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

hadith I'll say okay, maybe this hadith is not enough. Or maybe it

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

could be fabricated if I don't know what source is coming from

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

that approach. I do take because I know that boundary, so I can think

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

that, but for somebody to keep saying, every time they get a bit

00:00:49 --> 00:00:54

of a confusion about a verse, then oh, that shook my faith, man, come

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

on, what kind of a face do you have? It's so weak that it keeps

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57

shaking.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:02

These Hadith and Quranic verses they're supposed to make you think

00:01:02 --> 00:01:07

they're supposed to make you think and maybe sometimes be confused,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

because that's how you're going to find out the truth. Because

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

remember, every bit of information we have is not from the Quran,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:17

sunnah, unfortunately. Right? We get a lot of other information. So

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

when you're going to reflect the Quranic message to what we already

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

know it's going to there's going to be some give and take with that

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

we're going to have to try to understand

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

so it makes the theme shake. That's what it is. That's not the

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

approach or the the approach to the deen should be whatever the

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

Quran says is true. I may not understand it, I have to find out.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

That just means that I need to find out it doesn't mean my faith

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

is shaking No.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu lillahi Hamden cathedral or

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

even Mubarak and fie Mubarak unnati como yo Hedberg Pune away

00:01:58 --> 00:02:03

on the gel La Jolla who are Minoa or salatu salam ala. So you will

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

have even Mustafa SallAllahu Darla RLA who are at a rally or saw the

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

other cover seldom at the Sleeman. Cathy, you're on Eli Iommi Dean,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

I'm about to continue with our

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

coverage of the result of Mr. sheen of Hadith al Maha CB.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

He gave a number of advices regarding our Quran, Allah

00:02:26 --> 00:02:32

subhanho wa Taala and a number of other advices in our last session.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

Based on this there's a hadith that

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

is related by Imam Bukhari. AmeriGlo Mamoon

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

says that Omar Abdullah heartstopper the Allahu Anhu

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

when Amara Malhotra the Allah was stabbed during the fajr prayer,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

which eventually led to his martyrdom. He was stabbed by a

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

Bulu a Bulu al Medusa, he was a major one

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

and everybody recognize that this was going to be terminal this was

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06

going to be a fatal blow. So Amara, the Allahu Anhu is about to

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

pass away.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

So

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

the narrator

00:03:13 --> 00:03:17

Ahmed even know me wound says that we went to visit him. Omar the

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

Allah one we went to visit Amara, the hola Juan and people came and

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

they were saying they were praising him and they were

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30

saying good things about him. Because at death, you're supposed

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

to give people

00:03:32 --> 00:03:37

hope. Because that's shaytaan comes at a time when somebody is

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

about to die. shaytan comes and tries to

00:03:40 --> 00:03:46

cause a lot of despondency and hopelessness during that time to

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

then make them feel that there is no Rama of Allah subhanaw taala

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

for them, and that's a really bad idea. So it's a good idea to give

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

people hope if they've done the Toba and if they've done the

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

repentance then is to give them hope. So people are coming and so

00:04:01 --> 00:04:04

then a young man came, a young man came in he said up Sharia Ameerul

00:04:04 --> 00:04:09

Momineen be Bucha Allah Haylock accept the guide, glad tidings.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:16

Leader of the faithful by Allah was glad tidings for you. So I'm

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

repeating ALLAH was glad tidings for you. Allah has given you glad

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

tidings so you need to accept them. And then he said his words

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

and then he was turning away. Either is our who Yeah, muscle

00:04:26 --> 00:04:31

art. His trousers were touching the ground. They were

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

dangling. So Omar, the Allah one who said quickly call him back.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:42

Who do Allah? Allah yell woolum. So somebody said, brought him back

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

and he said my nephew. Yep. Nucky My nephew is an affectionate way

00:04:46 --> 00:04:51

of speaking. He said Arafat Killbuck. Raise your government

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

because it's cleaner for your government to start with. That's a

00:04:54 --> 00:04:59

physical aspect of it. But it's also actually called the robic so

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

it's cleaner for yoga.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

moment, no doubt, and it's also called Arabic. It's also more God

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

fearing towards your Lord so you're expressing more

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

consciousness of your Lord. This is really Sheikh Abdul Fattah

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

hubba Hoda, who's the editor of this book, he brings this hadith

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

and he says that, look at Amara, the Allahu Anhu is in his last

00:05:18 --> 00:05:21

moments and he's still doing admirable model for Nike and

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

LaMancha. Because one of the advices that was given by her

00:05:24 --> 00:05:29

little micb Was that you need to continue to try to make

00:05:29 --> 00:05:34

corrections and to try to stop people from doing wrong and try to

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

advise as much as possible. So he had said

00:05:40 --> 00:05:44

couldn't be happier Milan. For biller he worth your con will now

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

roofie me Ron, why Neil Moon Karina here.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:53

You're going to try to practice the truth and the good yourself,

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

always remain holding on to Allah subhanaw taala in the sense that

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

always rely on him, and then always command the truth and

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

prohibit the wrong. So this is saying that I want to be alone is

00:06:05 --> 00:06:09

on his deathbed. Everybody knows he's gonna die because it's a

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

fatal wound. And there's a lot of other things that he could have

00:06:12 --> 00:06:16

focused on at that time, but he decides that he wants to do this,

00:06:16 --> 00:06:20

because there's a virtue in doing so. There's a virtue in telling

00:06:20 --> 00:06:24

people good things is an absolute virtue in that and I think this is

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

one area where many of us are lacking. It's a major lack

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

unfortunately.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:35

So, he advises him on something which is practical and clean, and

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

also what is God conscious. So he has both the persons of worldly

00:06:39 --> 00:06:43

welfare and benefit in mind and also the benefit of the era in

00:06:43 --> 00:06:49

mind as well. Right, the next set of advices that Mr. Harris al Maha

00:06:49 --> 00:06:55

Maha CB gives is the following. He says whether and Medina Lilla he

00:06:55 --> 00:06:55

Bill Arkell,

00:06:56 --> 00:07:01

what that Mullah Bill Hawa what that Raquel Huck Babu, a bill

00:07:01 --> 00:07:06

bottle, what a terminal ma Farah were internationally Toba. So

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

that's the next cluster of advices. He says

00:07:11 --> 00:07:18

refrain from beware beware of just becoming religious or following

00:07:18 --> 00:07:23

the Diem adopting the deal the deanery law adopting the deen just

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

by your intellect

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

that's a really interesting statement. You need intellect I

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

mean every item every scholar will tell you that you need intellect

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

and intellect is necessary to understand the commandments of

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

Allah though is how do you understand commands of Allah if

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

you don't have intellect, you need alcohol to understand something

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

with but then he's saying that don't

00:07:44 --> 00:07:51

be obedient. Don't be a follower of your deen. Don't just become a

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

religious person just based on intellect. Now this could be

00:07:54 --> 00:07:59

translated in a number of ways. Sheikh Abdel Fattah ova gives us

00:07:59 --> 00:08:03

some different possibilities. Yeah, he says it has a Hakuna Eman

00:08:03 --> 00:08:10

who Kabila Hytera what the unica who are Colognian your obedience

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

to Allah devotion to Allah should not just be Accola Annie should

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

just not be intellectual. What does that mean? Meaning

00:08:19 --> 00:08:25

lie atika, in irritant V. Kabila who o'clock mean our media he

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

whenever he very, very important point, he says that it shouldn't

00:08:29 --> 00:08:33

be such your approach to your deen and religion should not be such

00:08:33 --> 00:08:39

that you only end up applying and implementing whatever you're, you

00:08:39 --> 00:08:43

rationally accept whatever makes sense to you.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

From the commands of Allah and prohibitions, Oh, that makes

00:08:47 --> 00:08:51

sense. I'm going to do this that one doesn't make sense, is not the

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

law of the land, even though you get in trouble if you don't follow

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

it. But there are some times what people do is sometimes people just

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

completely abandon but other people they say we're going to

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

follow the spirit of the law, we're not going to follow the

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

letter of the law. When it comes to Allah's laws, same thing that

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

doesn't make sense to me, so I'm not going to do it. That's not

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

criteria. The criteria is not whether something makes sense when

00:09:12 --> 00:09:18

you look at any of the books of all the jurists, Quran, etc. None

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

of them say that that's what you're supposed to do.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

Religion is a bigger idea. Religion is not an academic

00:09:24 --> 00:09:29

pursuit. It's not just the basic science of some sort, where you're

00:09:29 --> 00:09:33

trying to get to a certain conclusion, based on certain

00:09:33 --> 00:09:37

repetitive acts or something of that nature. Deen and religion is

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

totalizing this makes sense. That doesn't make sense because as I

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

said, the deen is another item deen is totalizing it wants

00:09:44 --> 00:09:48

everything from us. It wants us to think like the deal. It's not like

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

I've got my own way of thinking and if the Dean makes sense and

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

harass I'll accept that part. This part doesn't make sense. That's

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

not not going to accept it. That's why there's some people have asked

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

me a question.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

Unlike Has there ever been any issue of the faith that's troubled

00:10:04 --> 00:10:08

you? So I asked like What do you mean by troubled me? Sometimes we

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

get questions they said that oh, this has happened in my life and

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15

it's shaken my faith isn't why does your faith shake my faith has

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

never shook hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah my faith has never

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

shown that doesn't mean I've not had questions about things. That

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

doesn't mean that, you know, in all the Hadith that we read the

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

Quranic verses, you know, the more you're exposed to this gonna raise

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

questions, because,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:35

I mean, we've been taught, we learn from different environments,

00:10:35 --> 00:10:40

we learn from different sources. We learn from, we're reading the

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

media, we hate the media, we still listen to the media, you know, we

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

listen to the radio, we listen to other people, we see things so

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

there's constant

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

influx of information in our mind. And every bit of information that

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

we take if access in some way or the other, there is no doubt about

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

it, it affects us in some way or the other, whether emotionally,

00:10:58 --> 00:11:02

academically, spiritually, in some way or the other, it's going to

00:11:02 --> 00:11:05

affect us. Now, when we read the Quran, we're not just reading

00:11:05 --> 00:11:10

Quran all day, we've not been, we've not grown up and live just

00:11:10 --> 00:11:15

reading Quran and Sunnah. We're not, you know, I mean, maybe it

00:11:15 --> 00:11:16

was easier for the sahaba.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

You know, maybe it was easier because they were living the life

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

of the Quran, with the prophets, Allah some in their mid so it was

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

probably easier for them. But for us, it's, that's something we do.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

Every now and then, you know, maybe some people, you know, we

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

get to teach it for a teacher of the day, and you get to teach it a

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

few hours of the day, several hours a day, if you're lucky.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:38

Otherwise, how much?

00:11:40 --> 00:11:45

How much new material? Do you learn of the deen on a week, you

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

know, on a weekly basis?

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

How much how much you do? You know, for a lot of people if

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

they're lucky to get a Joomla lecture.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

So that is a competition, or there's so much competition to the

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

of everything else. They're constantly learning constantly

00:12:02 --> 00:12:07

taking in. So, there's going to be cases when we learn something from

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

when you read something in the Quran and Sunnah, that it's going

00:12:10 --> 00:12:16

to create a confusion in our mind, what does that mean? How do I

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

apply that? What about in this particular scenario? How does that

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

apply?

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

That yes, you get that? So what I do is I will go and try to find

00:12:26 --> 00:12:30

out from the more deeper books for the most profound books. So yeah,

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

those kinds of things happen, but it will never make me think they

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

could this be that the Quran is wrong.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39

You know, when you see a verse and it doesn't make sense to you

00:12:39 --> 00:12:42

straightaway, should my approach me, hey, that means the Quran

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

might be wrong.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

That doesn't happen to hamdulillah Oh, when I read a hadith, okay, in

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

a hadith, I'll say okay, maybe this hadith is not enough. Or

00:12:50 --> 00:12:53

maybe it could be fabricated. If I don't know what source is coming

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

from the approach I do take because I know the boundaries, I

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

can think that. But for somebody to keep saying, every time they

00:12:59 --> 00:13:04

get a bit of a confusion about a verse, then oh, that shook my

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

faith, man, come on, what kind of a face do you have? It's so weak

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

that keeps shaking.

00:13:09 --> 00:13:12

These Hadith and Quranic verses they're supposed to make you think

00:13:13 --> 00:13:17

they're supposed to make you think and maybe sometimes be confused,

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20

because that's how you're going to find out the truth. Because

00:13:20 --> 00:13:24

remember, every bit of information we have is not from the Quran,

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

sunnah, unfortunately. Right, we get a lot of other information. So

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

when we're going to reflect the Quranic message to what we already

00:13:31 --> 00:13:36

know, it's going to, there's going to be some give and take with that

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

we're gonna have to try to understand.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

So it makes the team shake. That's what it is. That's not the

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

approach the the approach to the dean should be whatever the Quran

00:13:45 --> 00:13:50

says is true. I may not understand it, I have to find out. That just

00:13:50 --> 00:13:53

means that I need to find out it doesn't mean my faith is shaking,

00:13:53 --> 00:14:00

no big big scholars of the past Subhanallah they have written in

00:14:00 --> 00:14:02

their books, they've gone from this world, we're still written in

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

their books, that

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

this is an issue about a certain religious issue, that I've not

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

found a satisfactory answer. I'm still looking, but this is what I

00:14:11 --> 00:14:15

propose. For the time being. If you read Imam Lucy, the great

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

manifester of Baghdad, I mean, you see that in his book, he says this

00:14:18 --> 00:14:23

is something that I have not found anybody to quench the thirst. And

00:14:23 --> 00:14:27

to satiate the, you know, the stomach. And these are terms they

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

use. I've not found it satisfactory. But this is what I

00:14:30 --> 00:14:34

propose. Tentatively he proposes and what he says actually makes a

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

lot of sense.

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

So that's the approach the scholars as well, those who knew

00:14:39 --> 00:14:44

so much more than us. Even they had questions. The Sahaba had

00:14:44 --> 00:14:49

questions. So you can have questions. That's got nothing to

00:14:49 --> 00:14:54

do with your face shaking. Because our faith is non negotiable. We

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

believe I might get something wrong. I might make a mistake. I

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

might not know something that's fine, but

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

I can't see my faith has shook because of that what kind of a

00:15:04 --> 00:15:09

faith is that if he keeps shaking every day, your foundation is

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

wrong because if there's a building that keeps shaky means

00:15:11 --> 00:15:15

the foundation is wrong. The foundation is not solid, solidify

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

the foundation that there's always going to be some kind of

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

renovation work to take place, some kind of fixing work some kind

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

of something leaking something here or there, you have to fix it.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

That's just it's no one.

00:15:27 --> 00:15:32

So that's one thing he says. He says that don't make it such that

00:15:33 --> 00:15:38

you only take what kind of makes sense to you. And there's a lot of

00:15:38 --> 00:15:43

people that do that. A friend of mine, he, his father finally went

00:15:43 --> 00:15:46

for Hajj. And when he gets to * does everything he does, he goes

00:15:46 --> 00:15:50

all the way for Hajj, Mashallah. And he does everything. But then

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

he refuses to cut his hair,

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

which is a requirement in Hajj to come out of Iran to cut your hair.

00:15:56 --> 00:16:01

He refuses to do so he says, Allah knows what's in my heart. It's

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

just a symbolic gesture. Well, the whole thing was a symbolic

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

gesture. What did you get out of going around seven times around

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

the Kaaba? Did you get anything out of that?

00:16:09 --> 00:16:12

If that's not symbolism in your mind, what is it then?

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

Why would you go seven times around

00:16:17 --> 00:16:21

and not cut your hair? What's the difference between those two

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

things? Oh, that includes a bit of exercise. But so at least there's

00:16:25 --> 00:16:29

a benefit there. Speak. I'm just wondering, you know, this is not

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

my opinion.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

But cutting the hay is going to spoil my hairstyle.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

Can you see that? I don't want to say that's what they thought. But

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

what why else would you say that? Why did you go and sleep on the

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

floor in was deliver.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

Okay, I can take this camping. That was a nice experience.

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

Right, but cut my hair? No, that's a no go area.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

Only my barber can cut my hair in a particular style. SubhanAllah.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:03

See, that's what I call an ugly way of approaching the deen. And

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

why we may be tempted to do that sometimes, because it's easy,

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

isn't it? I mean, when people become like that, with their laws

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

and things like that, you know, there's certain countries they're

00:17:10 --> 00:17:14

known for having go to Singapore, there's supposed to be a robots

00:17:14 --> 00:17:17

down there, just following the law. Right? They all follow the

00:17:17 --> 00:17:21

law, they queue up very well and all the rest of it. And I've

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

talked to some Singaporeans and they don't some of them don't like

00:17:23 --> 00:17:27

that, either. In some places is just constant anarchy, nothing

00:17:27 --> 00:17:32

works is just everything you have to pay money for to get anything

00:17:32 --> 00:17:38

done. Right bribery and corruption and it's who you know, Subhan

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

Allah, you know, the deen is not like that. It's not what it's

00:17:40 --> 00:17:43

supposed to be like. The dean is not like some kind of

00:17:44 --> 00:17:48

society with anarchy that you can do what you like, just because

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

you've got contacts that you got or money or you've got a position.

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

That's not what the dean is about. The dean is totalizing we're

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

supposed to submit because that's what Islam means. It means to

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

completely submit.

00:17:58 --> 00:18:02

So the idea is that the Hadith makes it very clear that you can't

00:18:02 --> 00:18:07

be full believers until your desires become in conformance to

00:18:07 --> 00:18:11

with what I have brought when you know the Hadith and that's that

00:18:11 --> 00:18:15

for me is what it is that if I do have a question, I think of this

00:18:15 --> 00:18:19

hadith and I think, well, I'm supposed to conform. Now I know it

00:18:19 --> 00:18:22

might be difficult, you know, there are issues that you find

00:18:22 --> 00:18:27

difficult in conforming to definitely, but you try your best

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

said they do work Haribo that's our DNA, ALLAH is forgiving when

00:18:31 --> 00:18:36

you try your best, he knows where weak, so he will forgive insha

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

Allah as long as doing our best our it's the emotion needs to be

00:18:39 --> 00:18:44

right. So he says for occlude Thurber only short is sahih healer

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

Aksu, the intelligence and a person's intellect

00:18:49 --> 00:18:54

and rational faculty needs to be in conformance to the Sharia to

00:18:54 --> 00:18:57

the sound shadier, not the opposite way.

00:18:58 --> 00:19:02

Whether you understand it or not, there are some there are some

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

outcome I don't understand.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

But we do and because Allah sets on the, they're established,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

there's no weakness in where they establish from so Allah knows

00:19:12 --> 00:19:18

best. There's some things that I never got. Then 20 years later, it

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

started makes it making some sense. 20 years later, 30 years

00:19:22 --> 00:19:26

later, some things maybe 40 years late today. Oh, wow, that clicked.

00:19:26 --> 00:19:30

Oh, that's why we do this. I just couldn't get it. Nobody told me.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

Maybe I didn't pursue it. Even if I did pursue it. I didn't find the

00:19:33 --> 00:19:38

right answer. Sometimes things are just closed in some kind of

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

vagueness for whatever reason.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

You can't make everything an academic pursuit and a PhD and go

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

to you don't have the time for that. But eventually hamdulillah

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

it makes sense.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:54

So you should just do your best. That's why when you can't do

00:19:54 --> 00:19:59

something you say Allah give me the ability to do it. That's the

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

way the

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

There's a hadith in Sahih Muslim and I believe it's in Sahil Buhari

00:20:02 --> 00:20:07

as well when Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed it's at the end of

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

circle Bacara Allah says Allah He might be somewhere to nephila when

00:20:11 --> 00:20:15

to do Murphy and fussy come out to who you have seen Combi Hila

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

faithful diminisher were your ideal Masha Allah Allah coalition

00:20:19 --> 00:20:20

called the

00:20:21 --> 00:20:24

O Sahaba. They thought that's it, we can't deal with this.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:31

We've been doing our best Salah Hajj to the best of our ability,

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

whatever worships were there until then we've been doing the best to

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

our ability, okay, you know, we may be weak, but we've been doing

00:20:35 --> 00:20:40

the best we can. But this verse is saying that the Lahemaa is somehow

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

to Allah for Allah subhanaw. Taala is everything the heavens and

00:20:42 --> 00:20:43

earth?

00:20:44 --> 00:20:48

Whatever you reveal, whatever you say outwardly or do outwardly,

00:20:48 --> 00:20:52

you're going to be accountable for that. We're into for who, and

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

whatever you keep internally, even thoughts that are in your mind,

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

you're also going to be

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

questioned about that, meaning you're also going to be reckoned

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

for that they said, that's something we're dead now. There's

00:21:04 --> 00:21:08

no way we can't win this exam. Because everything else we're

00:21:08 --> 00:21:12

doing our best. But when it comes to this, we get thoughts in our

00:21:12 --> 00:21:17

mind, people get thoughts all day long, right? If we're going to be

00:21:17 --> 00:21:20

accountable for that, there's no way we're gonna second they want

00:21:20 --> 00:21:24

you to succeed. It's not like, oh, it's alright, we'll see. Right?

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

God is forgiving, whatever. No, they really wanted to do the best.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:31

So they came to the rosary. I said, How are we going to do this?

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

So the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he said, Do you want to be like

00:21:33 --> 00:21:37

the people who are before you where they heard the law that came

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

from Allah, and said,

00:21:40 --> 00:21:44

summit now what I'll say, you know, we've heard but we're not

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

going to do it. We don't have to do it.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

We don't have to do it. Samana. We've disobeyed basically.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:57

Rather than a Kulu. Summit in Atlanta, Ofra, Nicaragua illegal

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

merci. I find this a really, really pertinent narration. You

00:22:01 --> 00:22:05

know, I personally just find it extremely pertinent. Instead, just

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

say, we've heard

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

and we obey.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:17

Forgive us, our Lord, unto you is our return. So acknowledging that

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20

look, we're going to do our best to obey, but we can make mistakes

00:22:20 --> 00:22:24

and forgive us say that. Allah can say whatever he wants to you and

00:22:24 --> 00:22:28

order you to do whatever you want. Your job is just to say

00:22:29 --> 00:22:33

Submariner, we're aterna over Faranda caragana Wedekind law See,

00:22:33 --> 00:22:37

anytime you so what I take from this hadith is that anytime you

00:22:37 --> 00:22:39

confront something that is difficult, in your deen and you're

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

finding it difficult, just say somewhere and now we're aterna Who

00:22:42 --> 00:22:46

Faranda Coronavirus will mercy we've heard we have obeyed.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:50

Forgive us. Our Lord, forgive us.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:54

Our Lord, forgive us unto you is all our return anyway. We're not

00:22:54 --> 00:22:58

getting away, but forgive us. We're going to try our best. This

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

isn't just saying we're going to try our best. But forgive us if we

00:23:00 --> 00:23:06

make a mistake. Maisie it says that fella matara Hilco, when the

00:23:06 --> 00:23:11

people said this with their you know, they, they didn't they just

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

in submission they just said it said okay, we're gonna say that

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

Subhanallah when they said it, the rest of the verses which are the

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

famous

00:23:20 --> 00:23:25

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

Allah will never burden somebody for what they cannot have the

00:23:38 --> 00:23:42

ability for burden somebody beyond their ability Allah will never do

00:23:42 --> 00:23:47

that. Subhan Allah Allah subhanaw taala cancelled out that initial

00:23:48 --> 00:23:52

reckoning of even what's in your mind by saying that no, that's not

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

and then Allah taught a number of doors there Robin Allah Tamina

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

What a beautiful narration, it tells us how to deal with matters

00:24:07 --> 00:24:13

today. If you can't do something understandable, it's possible. But

00:24:13 --> 00:24:16

just try to submit and do your best and ask for forgiveness.

00:24:16 --> 00:24:19

Inshallah Allah will give you that really do the next day

00:24:21 --> 00:24:24

that was so beloved to Allah that Allah subhanaw taala brought the

00:24:24 --> 00:24:26

next verses in there, and she read those last verses of Surah

00:24:26 --> 00:24:30

Baqarah. So that's how we're supposed to do this. But this is a

00:24:30 --> 00:24:34

major issue today. Reason is that we are living in a, you know,

00:24:34 --> 00:24:38

we've been living in a century of science, and empiricism, and

00:24:38 --> 00:24:39

rationality.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:44

Europe and the rest of the world has done away with witchcraft has

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

done away with

00:24:46 --> 00:24:51

superstitions. Superstitions were abandoned. They were the famous

00:24:51 --> 00:24:56

witch hunts of the 16th and 17th century when there was constant

00:24:56 --> 00:25:00

famine and war and pestilence and all of these things and people

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

Just always said that it's due to this. And it's due to that. And

00:25:04 --> 00:25:07

they felt that there were spells that were taking place. They've

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

done away with all of that stuff, a lot of the superstition but they

00:25:10 --> 00:25:14

also done away with religion. So anything to do with the devil and

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

shaytaan and anything to do with God, even that's just gone. I

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

mean, there's some people who have a token understanding or

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

appreciation of God in their life. But other than that, there's no

00:25:23 --> 00:25:28

following of the deen. It's all about rationality. You know,

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

you've got you've got policymakers that say they're Christian, but

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

there's nothing Christian about their, about their approach about

00:25:34 --> 00:25:38

the laws that they agreed to. And that laws that they pass and the

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

bills that they put into parliament and other bodies, just

00:25:40 --> 00:25:44

nothing to do it. It's just taught in separation. It's just like, God

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

is a little private thing that you can have. If you want to do that.

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

It's up to you. But that's not how Islam wants to do things.

00:25:51 --> 00:25:55

God is supposed to be the unifying factor, Allah subhanaw. Taala is

00:25:55 --> 00:25:59

the one that brings everybody together to put everybody on the

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

in harmony when it's done, right.

00:26:03 --> 00:26:06

So that's why we're supposed to say, Okay, we're going to do our

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

best that's a new law Alhamdulillah we're going to do

00:26:08 --> 00:26:12

our best. I've seen those people a lot more karma. They're doing

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

wrong. And they say, Look, I can't do this. I know it's right. I know

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

I should be doing it. I can't do it. Right. May Allah forgive me.

00:26:19 --> 00:26:23

I've just seen it's just so humble. That approach compared to

00:26:23 --> 00:26:27

somebody like No, man, there's two opinions about this. so and so

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

said this, I found it online that it's

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

there's another view that's just the strict view. Man, you guys are

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

too strict. How can you live a life you? You know, you guys need

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

to chill out a bit. Guys need to relax a bit. You need to have

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

some, you know, be able to have some fun. You can't always be

00:26:42 --> 00:26:46

uptight, as though following the deen is being uptight, as though

00:26:46 --> 00:26:51

religious people never have fun. So this is all a delusion, I think

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

just misunderstanding. You're not understanding how it really works.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:58

That's what he says. So that's what he says First, he says what

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

that mother Bill how're. Pretty much that's what he says next, he

00:27:01 --> 00:27:04

says that what you're going to the reason what is going to be

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

intellectual. Because there may be some people who are like very

00:27:07 --> 00:27:12

academic, they actually don't care about their knifes as such. It's

00:27:12 --> 00:27:17

just very akin. I want to go by evidence. There's a few people

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

like that. So I can understand there's still a wrong approach, I

00:27:19 --> 00:27:22

think because the Venus has emotion as well. The dean is about

00:27:22 --> 00:27:26

devotion to Allah, and absolute submission, whether you understand

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

or not, there's number of verses that tell us that so it's not

00:27:29 --> 00:27:33

that's not what religion is to just be perfectly academic. But a

00:27:33 --> 00:27:37

lot of people who will make this as an excuse to get away will

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

actually be doing it because of their knifes, but that Mullah Bill

00:27:39 --> 00:27:40

Hawa

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

right what that matter Bill Howard that they will be actually doing

00:27:44 --> 00:27:48

because just easier that's too difficult. It just doesn't fit in

00:27:48 --> 00:27:51

with their social surrounding doesn't fit in their family maybe

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

it doesn't fit in their friends that they don't want to make a

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

change. They just want to fit right in and carry on and

00:27:57 --> 00:28:01

basically have their cake and eat it I don't see a problem with

00:28:01 --> 00:28:04

having your cake and eating in the real world but they use this as an

00:28:04 --> 00:28:07

as an as a parable. I don't understand why have your cake and

00:28:07 --> 00:28:10

eat it well. What's wrong with eating a cake if it's okay. Right

00:28:11 --> 00:28:14

SitePoint then he says what that local hug but you're abandoning

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

the truth in this regard? Would there be a Bill Battle and you're

00:28:17 --> 00:28:20

just returning with falsehood? Meaning what you're going to be

00:28:20 --> 00:28:24

returning with your return home? Right? Meaning what you're coming

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

back with or where you're going to go to Allah with is just complete

00:28:27 --> 00:28:30

falsehood. It's not the right way to do things. What the terminal

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

mark there are all at the same time you still think you have a

00:28:33 --> 00:28:37

bit of religion? Right so Thurman and Mark Farah, you are hoping for

00:28:37 --> 00:28:40

forgiveness? You're hoping forgiveness. We're internationally

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

Toba?

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

Subhanallah what a statement that is. He said you hope for

00:28:45 --> 00:28:48

forgiveness but you are forgetting

00:28:49 --> 00:28:54

to repent. And repenting is not just simply hoping for

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

forgiveness. Otherwise this wishful think that I'm going to be

00:28:57 --> 00:29:02

forgiven. Allah is good for Allah is the Rahim he needs some people

00:29:02 --> 00:29:05

to forgive if not if we're all fine, right? If we all find that

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

who's going to forgive Allah as Rahman Rahim, he needs to manifest

00:29:08 --> 00:29:12

sorry, Allah is a fool. He needs to manifest on somebody as well.

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

If you're all doing right, then I need to at least maybe do a bit

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

wrong so you can be a fool to me otherwise, how is Allah gonna

00:29:17 --> 00:29:20

manifest his characteristic of being forgiving?

00:29:21 --> 00:29:24

Like if you guys are all good, then how is he going to forgive?

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

The these are some of the excuses people come up with. This is some

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

really weird philosophizing. That's what people do some really

00:29:30 --> 00:29:35

weird philosophizing. May Allah subhanaw taala give us absolute

00:29:35 --> 00:29:38

submission make us truly Muslims,

00:29:39 --> 00:29:45

through submissions through submission, by increasing the Eman

00:29:45 --> 00:29:49

in our hearts the belief that the Allah subhanaw taala is love takes

00:29:49 --> 00:29:54

over us to such a degree that even when we know that we've got

00:29:54 --> 00:29:55

impediments in our,

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

in our obedience to Him in following every law of his and

00:30:00 --> 00:30:05

Certain things that we have become habituated to or that we can't get

00:30:05 --> 00:30:09

away from easily we still want to worship Him. And we ask Allah for

00:30:09 --> 00:30:13

forgiveness, we know we're doing wrong, so much better way than to

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16

actually do wrong and justify it. May Allah subhanaw taala make us

00:30:16 --> 00:30:19

are those people who can eventually eradicate all wrongs

00:30:19 --> 00:30:24

from their life and become close to him. And thus he loves to meet

00:30:24 --> 00:30:27

us and we'd love to meet him. We're here with our annual hamdu

00:33:45 --> 00:33:46

Marcelino Al Hamdulillah.

00:33:47 --> 00:33:51

The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get

00:33:51 --> 00:33:57

further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books

00:34:00 --> 00:34:04

to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of

00:34:04 --> 00:34:07

Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware

00:34:08 --> 00:34:11

of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan

00:34:11 --> 00:34:17

courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand

00:34:17 --> 00:34:20

whenever you have free time, especially for example, the

00:34:20 --> 00:34:23

Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic

00:34:23 --> 00:34:28

essentials certificate which you take 20 Short modules, and at the

00:34:28 --> 00:34:33

end of that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of

00:34:33 --> 00:34:36

the most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more

00:34:36 --> 00:34:39

confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

to live, you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

this more sustained study as well as local law here and Salam

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
