Question is that there are many students who are going to
university. There's a lot of fitna, how do you deal with that
fitna? I mean it's a very difficult thing for us to say.
Because there are different fitness that people are dealing
with at university. You know, one is obviously the intermixing that
takes place at very close level sitting with somebody working with
someone
working with somebody, right of the opposite, you know, for men,
it's women, women, it's men. You're working so closely with
them there's projects sharing your your your accomplishments, you're
sharing your successes, does emotionally bring you closer.
That's a major fitna, right sometimes with non Muslims,
Muslims, whatever. That's one fitna. Another fitna is what are
you studying? Right? Why are you studying that subjects, some of
the stuff that you're learning some philosophical concepts, when
we don't have a strong grounding in our own Aqeedah. And we're
learning things which are based on you know, old Greek philosophy,
modern philosophy, modernity, post modernity, psychoanalysis,
feminism. And sometimes we're being obviously impacted by this,
you know, we're being influenced by this without really realizing
sometimes, you know, because how many of us go through a good,
rigorous Aqeedah course, you know, where we really understand our
key, the most of our key that is what we've learned from our
parents, and from our little mothers or schools that we went
through, you know, and sometimes that is not enough for us to deal
with the more intellectual, the more intellectual challenges that
are put in front of us. So there's a lot of these fitna, right,
however, I can only give a general recommendation, right, which is to
educate ourselves, to try to avoid places that are compromising, you
know, situations that are compromising, stay in touch with
your local Shaco alum or your Imam of the masjid or whatever it is,
always be in consultation with them, do a lot of vicar make dua
to Allah that Allah protect me. I think a lot of these are safety
measures that we can take. And may Allah subhanaw taala protect us or
them because it's our, you know, protect our youth. Because we have
to, I mean, going to university becoming,
having Muslim professionals is extremely important. But there are
no doubt the road is riddled with a lot of issues, you know, a lot
of challenges. So it's one of those things, we have to do our
best. Right? I mean, if there's a certain specific thing you're
talking about, we can respond to that specifically, but in general,
that's what I would say is whether you had a question
about glutes okay.
You talking about collusion? asila.
The question is that, you know, we have a practice of collusion
asila, which is the DA when some calamity befalls the online,
right. So, what happened is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
salam
heard about, I think this was in relationship to certain tribes who
had killed a number of Muslims. Right? Does anybody remember the
exact details of that? There were certain tribes that had killed a
number of high ranking Muslims, right by deception, right. They
said they were going to run them safety or something, and then
after they killed him, so the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
for 40 days in fajr prayer after the ruku, you know, after the
bowing, when he would stand up, he would recite this dua, which was
called a two hour minute pollute naskila, which is a special to
offer a calamity that strikes.
Now, according to the Shafi school, they they look at this
hadith and they say, they made they understand this to be a
regular practice. So in every Fajr, they will do.
Whereas the Hanafi is the understanding is that this happens
specifically for 40 days clearly mentioned the Quran in the Hadith,
right, that happened for 40 days at this instance. When should it
happen? Obviously, that's relative. Because when should it
happen? When should the Quran we read for 40 days? If you look at
it from a very general broad perspective, there's always some
there's always some oppression going on in the Muslim world. I
personally think there is a there is enough justification for HANA
for us to do it and continuous 40 day
sessions, because there's only something going on. We hear about
certain things like in Palestine, there are other things that are
happening that we don't hear about, you know, the smaller
incursions that happen or in Iraq or in other places, we don't know.
So the output as a prayer for steadfastness, a prayer for
strength, a prayer for dealing with the enemies, you know, that
is something I think is justified. However,
majority of them if you ask them, they would probably see it as a
very intense, a major catastrophe. Right? Because otherwise it would
become like I said, every day
because if you really look to look, there's always something
going on. But they will probably say it's an event of major
proportions, then we do it for 40 days.
So I guess there's different perspectives. But what I would
suggest is that if you
You feel that there is an event that
Imams you should go to your Imam and say look I believe this is it
do you think it's something that we should look for a girl to look
for or the Zilla for I think that would be an approach
