I remember once there was somebody who came to visit and said, Can I
have your numbers? I gave it to him. And I just started getting
forwards. I said, Is that why you took my number? I said, please
unsubscribe me. Right? This is person mailing list. So I said,
please unsubscribe me. I said, if you've got anything personal to
say, Please, you're welcome. Then say as much as you want, but don't
forward stuff. I don't have time because we receive all of these
things from multiple sources. So one has to be very careful about
these things. What you hear what you see, try to have some sense in
determining whether what you hear what you receive on your different
social media is correct or not. And we're living in a post true
post truth world
where you don't know what to believe.
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam O Allah and mobile
Ruthie Ramadan Mila Alameen wa ala early he also he was seldom at the
Sleeman girthier en la Iommi Deen, Amma Bharath
so dear brothers and dear sisters
May Allah subhanaw taala bless our Ramadan
wig going we have these next one and a half two hours before Iftar
I think what we're going to be doing in sha Allah is we're going
to
first do some Tafseer
some commentary of the Quran I have chosen a surah is called
surah Taha gerat.
It's quite an interesting solar because it has quite a few
different, really important points mentioned in there. So we'll do a
brief Tafseer of this and just talk about some relevant points
and then after that, Inshallah, if you have any questions about any
of that we can take those questions. So in sha Allah, we're
going to do sort of Herat
which is chapter 49, Surah 49 of the Quran. So, if you want to
follow it, you can and her gerat essentially means
chambers rooms.
So, why is it called Hydra because of a particular verse in there
that will be in sha Allah looking at I'm going to start off with
some of the reading of it in sha Allah.
I will do bIllahi min ash shaytani Raji maybe SMIL he rah rah Rahim.
Yo, yo Khaled Ina and Ola to cut the movie in the year. He was also
the he was the hula in nulla, semi or Nadeem? Yeah, are you
hilarious? Man Hola, Donal Farrell, sweater calm focus out in
OBE what a what a third year how Rula who bill only Caja Haribhau

zero now the
in Lavina Yuna doing me wound or ill how jurati XR roomlala pinion
wallow and whom sada ro hat to Raja la him like Erna ha Yala,
whom? Wala hoo ha fool Rahim.
So I begin in the name of Allah subhanaw taala. I first seek
refuge from Shaytaan, The Accursed and I begin the new Allah subhanaw
taala most gracious and Most Merciful. I'm going to read the
translation of this section. This is the first section of the surah
it's actually relating to some etiquette with the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and how we're supposed to
how the Sahaba and people around the Prophet said, listen, we're
supposed to interact with the rough service. And how does that
relate to us? I'll explain in sha Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala
says, Oh, you who believe do not advance yourself in any affair,
contrary to the decree of Allah and His messenger and fear Allah,
indeed, Allah is all hearing and all knowing.
We don't try to do anything
in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala that he has not sanctioned,
that he has not allowed. That's very general obviously right? Then
the Prophet is awesome. Then he speaks specifically, Oh, you who
believe Do not raise your voices.
Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet.
Know speak loudly to him.
As you are sometimes loud with one another. Sometimes we could be
loud with one another. He says you might be
allowed with one another and that's okay with between
yourselves. But don't ever do that with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam
for then your good works will become utterly futile with Allah,
meaning you could lose all of your good works, it could actually
destroy all the good works that you have.
Though, you would not even perceive this, you wouldn't even
know that your good works are being lost.
As to those who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger
of Allah, these are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested pure for
righteousness, for righteous fear of Him. For them, there is such
forgiveness and a magnificent reward.
This is speaking about the likes of Abu Bakr, Muhammad Ali, Allah
and others who knew exactly how to deal with the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and they would be very calm. They wouldn't raise
their voices, like the desert Arabs would do the desert, Arabs
had a style, everything was allowed. Because in the desert,
you have to be allowed, I guess, maybe because there's a lot of
wind there. And distances and so on. So they just being loud,
right? So that you can hear one another and they think that's
cool. They think that's okay. People do that in villages, they
loud to one another. Right? Some cultures have that some cultures
are louder than other cultures. For example, in this huge country,
in this huge country called India, the northerners are louder than
the Southerners. Right? So it just, it depends on where you're
from. Some cultures are louder than others. I anybody here from a
loud culture, where people like to be loud. Yeah. A lot of them.
Okay. So
yeah, some people are just loud. Now, when you go into another
culture, which is not allowed, it's looked on as people look on
that and said, Why you being so impolite for why you being so rude
for, it's actually not rude in your own culture, but in another
culture, it would be rude. And that's why we live in these kinds
of places. Where mashallah You see, 50 to 100 years ago, we would
never have met maybe, you know, Marsha, a lot of our Somali
brothers here, Algerian brothers, and
Kosovo and brothers and,
and, and Bosnian, mashallah, right? Where would a Indian have
gone to Bosnia or to Somalia? You know, because traveling, those
maybe would have met in Omaha Hodge, maybe if you're lucky,
right. And there would be no concept of half Swedish and half
Pakistani as well. Right? Is that? Yeah, Mashallah. Hamdulillah.
So,
now that we're here, we have to be more sensitive to our cultures.
That is everything from our culture, which is cool, maybe in
our homes, is that okay? Outside with somebody else.
It's a really interesting idea, this idea of the coming together
of multiple cultures.
And I've been thinking about this for a long time.
Culture is something that you can never divorce from yourself.
Humans can never divorce culture from themselves. There's a lot of
people who claim that I'm not cultural. All they've done is
they've taken off their culture, their own culture that they were
born with, or their parents culture, and they've just adopted
a new culture, and they think they don't have a culture. Like, let's
just say that, right? Your parents are from India, or Pakistan, or
Sweden, sorry, or
Somalia, for example. And you come to this, and he's like, I don't
want to be Somali. Meaning I don't like somebody's culture, I don't
like Indian culture or something like that.
You can't be without a culture though. You just gonna take
another culture, right? Because culture is the way you do
something is the way you wear your clothing is the what you eat, is
the way you behave. All of that is culture. These people they say, I
don't want to get married to my own background person. I said,
Why? Because they come with baggage, they say. So who do want
to get married to I want to get married to a convert? So okay,
fine. To convert is coming packages. Yeah, everybody comes in
baggage. Every culture has baggage, right? So people have
this idea.
And but what is our culture and what should be our culture? So
now, if you look at our brothers and brothers, we've been here long
enough, when you go back to Bosnia, or they do agree with
everything of the original culture, you don't right? When I
go back to India, and honestly, I agree with everything. Right, I
have certain differences now, likewise with Somalia and all
other countries. So our job beautifully, because we are
Muslim, is that Allah subhanaw taala has given us Islam. We look
at all cultural aspects through the lens of Islam. And what is the
most beautiful thing is that living in a Western country like
this, one of the beautiful aspects of it, there are challenges of
course.
But one of the beautiful aspects of it is that we get to get the
mashallah we get to meet so many different Muslim cultures. As I
told you 50 to 100 years ago, we would never have met, I would have
been just pure Indian. And that's it. Right? There'd be no fusion,
there'd be no confusion either, right? Sometimes. So now
Alhamdulillah I get to sit with our brothers from different
countries. And every one has a different culture. And there's
positive aspects in every culture, just as there are negatives.
Right? There are positive aspects in every culture as there are
negatives, right? Our job is to take the positives of our culture
for sure. Right? Get rid of the negatives of our culture, and
what's going to determine that is Islam.
Right. And we can take the positives of other cultures. You
can take positive foods from other cultures. So in my house, we cook
Moroccan Harira soup.
Right? Never have done 50 years ago, or maybe even 20 years ago,
but now I went to Morocco. So Moroccan Harira soup and Masha
Allah, we still haven't had started having bananas with food
yet. Right? Maybe soon inshallah. I have it with breakfast, but not
with not with supper, not with dinner, right.
Mashallah, you understand what I'm saying? You can take the best now.
The way we dress, the way I'm dressed, there's nothing Indian
about me. You understand what I'm saying? We take the best. That's
the beauty of it. But we have to take out the worst of our culture.
We take the best from the Swedish culture, we avoid the worst. So
that's what we do. Alhamdulillah Allah has given us that position.
So this is what was happening. Sometimes the desert Arabs because
they were living in villages. And in the desert, you had to
sometimes shout and you could be a bit rude and it was normal for
them to be rude call people by names and so on. That's okay. Once
somebody came to the Prophet sallallahu is as the person was
going on his animal, somebody came, grabbed the rope of his
animal. And he said, I want to ask you something. So the products I
sell them was very calm. So he asked him a question for us on
responded. And then he said, Okay, now let the camera go.
You know, it's like somebody, you just driving, you pulled up at a
light and your windows down and somebody came in, took your switch
the car off? I've got a question for you. Okay. Because you're a
scholar, maybe, you know, I've got a question for you. So
the Romans answered him, and they said, Okay, now give me you know,
let me give me my keys back. You know, so they, the person
understood this, and there was a lot of benefit in the way they did
things as well because they were able to ask some really rough
questions that others might not have wanted to ask. So anyway,
Allah subhanaw taala is teaching them because Islam is to teach. So
this is what's going on here. Whereas people like Abu Bakr and
Umar Radi Allahu Anhu. They have already learned and they were from
the city. So that was the normal culture was much more common in
Makkah than obviously from the Bedouins outside of Maka Maka,
Rama. Now, then Allah subhana wa Tada says, As to those who lower
their voices in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, these are
the ones whose hearts Allah has tested pure for right, righteous
fear of Him. For them, there is much forgiveness, and a
magnificent reward. Oh prophets as to those who call out to you from
behind the chambers of your residences, most of them do not
understand good manners and civility. Now what happened there
were some people who wanted to come and visit the Prophet
salallahu Salam and talk to him prophesy, some had multiple wives,
each one of them had their own rooms, which means that like these
little
chambers, right made up of whatever it was made up of these
were independent. The only one left is Aisha Radi Allahu Anhu was
one where the prophet saw some is buried today in the rover not this
roller that roller right so that's a shot of the Allah one has room
in which the province was on got buried. And then a bunker there
her father got buried there. And then Amara didn't got buried
there. And there's a small space left they say for a Saudi so when
he comes back and then he passes away that and he passes away then
that that's what they say.
Behind the if you look at the road or carefully behind that, there's
another room that one is
the daughter of the process and for the amount of the allowance
room that still preserved but all the other rooms they were
incorporated into the Masjid. So around Asia, the Allah one has
room there were other rooms, like separate little, you can say
cubicles, separate little buildings. Now, the people who
visit they don't know where the process allows them is
okay. And they're not soundproof these these little rooms are not
soundproof. In fact, a lot of them
Just had curtains for doors. Right? So
they're not soundproof so they wanted to see the professor or
somebody just calling out.
Oh Mohamed, where are you? Which room are you in? You know, so
because they don't know which room so that's why Allah subhanaw taala
says you can't do that. That's not what you do.
As for those who call out to you from behind the chambers of your
residence,
most of them do not understand good manners and civility.
This is to comfort the prophets, Allah Lord ism as well that and
he's also, you know, telling them that look, you need to have more
manners. Now you don't come and just caught out, right? For worthy
to remain patient until you were to come out to them of your own
accord.
It would be better for them. Yet, Allah is all forgiving, and mercy
giving if they make Toba and if they regret what they've done, and
they've done it, they, they've they've done it out a mistake.
If not a busser, the Allahu Anhu was only 13 years old or something
like that when the process and eventually passed away. But his
but for all of his childhood, mashallah, he grew up with the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And he learnt a lot from
him. After that, after the person passed away, they were big Sahaba.
And he would go to them to learn what the prophet Sam had taught
the Hadith. What he would do is he would go to a sir Hobbes house,
remember, he's a cousin of the Prophet sallallahu sallam.
But if the person was sleeping in the afternoon, taking a nap, and
then on the siesta, a ruler, we call it right the whole time.
Around that time, he wouldn't go and disturb him, you would
actually sit down outside the door of his house and maybe fall asleep
there. He himself would have a little snooze. And then when
that's the hub, you would wake up, that companion would wake up or
the Allahu Anhu. You would find out, Abdullah University, Allahu
Anhu. There. And he would say, You should have told us, we will come
out for you, you know, said no, no, no, because he said that they
had a lot of respect for me, because of my position and
relationship with the Prophet sallallahu sallam, but I didn't
want to abuse that and disturb them, because I was there to learn
from them. So Marsha, look, he's understood the adab. He's
understood the other.
Now before, about 10 years ago, my student never we used to be closed
at night. Right now, just like the Haram Masjidul haram in Makkah is
open 24 hours, right? It's always something going on, right? Let's
see, the number we have now is like that as well. 24 hours, it's
open. They closed a lot of the doors, but there's still some
doors open, you can go inside, but before they used to actually close
it right around at nighttime, maybe
11 o'clock, 12 o'clock or something like that for a few
hours to clean up and everything. Then they opened it a few years
ago. So I was told about a story of some bedouins who came and the
doors were closed that night.
So these are modern day Bedouins, they still Bedouins there, right?
They do camels and things like that. So they came and knocked on
the door. Yeah rasool Allah, we're here. We're Bedouins we've come to
visit you open the door. They came at nighttime. Right? And they
thought that the prophecy was sent me is inside and he can open the
door.
Can you do that?
So mashallah one of our guys from India, Pakistan. But anyway, he
was from he went to the Kaaba until he got to the door of the
cover. You know, slavery, Kamala Alaba gets a tick tock out,
knocks on the door of the Kaaba. And he said, Allah, how are you is
everything well?
Somebody has to tell him Allah doesn't live in a place Allah is
beyond space. It's just a special house. So we don't do crazy things
like that right?
Mashallah, so anyway, this this is this is what this was the, you
know, beginning part of Islam and there's a lot of the different
cultures were there, so Masha, Allah, all of these verses there
to teach different things. So that's how that starts off. Now,
this part here, the first verse here, which says that you have
Latina Aminullah to cut the mood, don't do anything,
without consulting or without it being approved by Allah subhanho
wa Taala and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
Abu Bakr and Omar Radi Allahu Anhu they had a small
difference of opinion, right, whether they should make this
specific individual ACARA IGNOU habis.
So there was a person called Akira IGNOU habits or called a nomad.
They had a difference of opinion as to which one of these we should
make the Emir. This these first verses they will read
We'll regarding that. Then the second verses were obviously
revealed regarding those people who would raise their voices in
front of the Prophet sallallahu. Listen, once a hobby who is a poet
of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
has served hypnotherapists Radi Allahu Anhu I believe it was him.
He had a very loud voice.
When some of these verses came down, he felt that they were
against him, because he had a loud voice. So he didn't even show up
for some days. Then when the Prophet saw some founder, he said,
No, no, it's not about you. You use your loud voice to defend the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Sahaba were very, very particular Sahaba were very particular, they
tried to follow everything. Very, very, in a refined way. So they
felt that it was against him. Now, something very interesting. I was
told about this one individual.
His mother is very old.
Whenever he would come to visit his mother, because he lived
separately whenever he would come to visit his mother. She would
tell him whatever, and he would just shake his head and just smile
and say, yes, yes, yes. He wouldn't speak to her.
Can you believe that? He wouldn't speak to her. He would just say
yes, yes, yes, smile, too, and just listen to her and just sit
with her. The only time he would speak to her would be on the
phone.
He would never say anything to her. While sitting in front of
her. He would then go pick up the phone and call her and say
whatever he needed to say, and have a conversation. Does anybody
know why?
No, she doesn't have a loud voice. But she couldn't hear properly. So
he would have to speak loudly. To speak to her. In front of her, he
would have to speak loudly for her to be able to hear. And he now
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is what this verse is
about. But what we understand from this is respect of your elders,
and especially your parents. So he did not want to raise his voice in
front of his mother. So he doesn't say anything. On the phone, it's
easier because she can hear it's amplified. It's more direct.
There's nothing to confuse the so you will speak to her on the phone
only, but he won't speak to her when he's in front of us. So he
does not have to raise his voice because some people they can't
hear loud this then you have to raise your voice. And it sounds
quite rude. I've seen interaction between those people who have
older parents, and Allah Allah protect us from going to that
stage because there's a special dua, Allah who may be surprised to
meet Allah how many hours to becoming al haram.
of Allah I seek your refuge from evil old age Allahumma inni I will
do becoming an aura the Illa or the little Omar? Oh Allah I seek
your refuge from being returned to this senile age. When a person
becomes like a kid, sometimes they become dependent. They can't hear
properly they can't do their own things they can't sometimes
understand properly Allah protect us they get diseases like dementia
and things like this. Then their own children are speaking to them
as though you know they guiding a child's Allah protect us from ever
getting into that situation.
So that's why he was just very careful the way he spoke to me,
Allah allow us also, it's difficult sometimes because
sometimes our parents can be quite tough. Right? Very challenging,
masha Allah. But what do we do?
You can't change parents, can you? You can change everything else.
But you can't change parents, brothers and children.
You can't change the parents, can you?
Right, there's no shop, you can go and say let me change them. Right.
So that's our challenge from Allah. And that's our agenda.
It's, we just have to a
lot of people what they feel is why can't my parents be good? Why
can't they change? They're 70 years old. Why can't they just be
different? Forget it, it's not going to happen.
That's the way I have found from experience is the best way to
treat older parents, especially if they're difficult, is just know
they're going to be difficult and they're never going to change. I
need to just be cool to deal with it and minimize any problems. And
inshallah we'll go through this life with success. There is
nothing else you can do.
You can't reprogram them, can you?
You can't change a chip or something and reprogram, there's
nothing you can do. So it just Alhamdulillah Allah make it easy.
And let's minimize any kind of damage. And just do the best that
you can.
Right let us move on now to the next section.
Which is
a very interesting section.
Altavilla him in a sheet vinyl regime
Yeah, uh you Halina Amman who

comunidad que fravel Fuzu Cavalleria sia
with eco humo Rashi dune for the LEM in Allah He went near Amma
Walla wa Lehmann hacky. So this is the next cluster of verses. This
is what it means, Oh, you who believe.
If an ungodly person comes to you, an ungodly means somebody who is a
sinner, a transgressor who is not righteous. So if an ungodly person
comes to you, with any news, informing you about something, he
did this, look what he's doing, then be discerning, be careful, so
that you do not afflict a people out of ignorance.
So that you don't jump to conclusions and you do something
about that. It turns out to be wrong, it turns out to be a
mistake, it turns out to be misc, misunderstanding, it turns out to
be actually manipulation. We got a lot of that nowadays, we got a lot
of that nowadays, you have to be very careful, right?
And so then you go and afflict a people out of ignorance, meaning
you're gonna do something, and thereafter you become regretful
about what you have done. Moreover, know that in your midst
is the messenger of Allah.
We're here to follow the inclinations you express in most
matters, meaning if he was to just listen to whatever you say,
you would most most surely become overburdened with hardships,
because you would have forced the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam, to do something that's wrong and then you would have been
punished and there would be a lot of burden. Some new laws may have
come out because of that. However, Allah has endeared faith to you,
and adorn the in your hearts, this talking about the good people that
mashallah they, Allah has made the faith adorned in their hearts,
they they beautify their faith inside.
And thus he has made unbelief hateful to you, as well as
ungodliness and disobedience all of that is hated for you. It is
these who are the rightly guided one, rightly guided ones. This is
a bounty from Allah and a blessing for Allah is all knowing, and all
wise. So this is the second cluster of verses. And
what this is about is there's a person called Walid ignore aucuba
Waleed ignore Akbar the Prophet sallallahu Sallam sent him to a
tribe called a balloon booster lick. The Ben will Masonic
for collect to collect their zakat to collect the charity.
And he had some issue, he had had some history with them from before
so he was scared of them. There was some fear when he got there
because of something that happened in ignorance many years ago. So he
came back. And he said to the Prophet salallahu Salam that they
don't want to give zakat they've refused to give zakat. Now the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam got a few see upset with this, that how
can they refuse to give zakat their their Muslims, how can they
refuse to give zakat. Now, in those days, and even now, in many
countries, there are two types of wealth that people have, mostly in
the in the West, except for some people, most of us have only one
type of wealth, which is what they call a wild belting, which is
liquid assets, which is cash, and maybe stocks and maybe properties
and things like that. But what they call it and while they're
here, that the most apparent money is people who have, for example,
crops and they have animals. So their assets are animals. They've
got goats and cows and camels and horses and things like that.
There's a cut on those, though there's a cut of that would be
collected by as a card collector from the state, the state would
send us a card collector, he'd come to your farm, your ranch,
whatever it is, and say, Okay, this is you know, here's a card
here. Let me take this again. And so in five camels, there'll be one
goat that you would take, for example. So there's a certain
quantity a certain criteria, right. However, the
way the jurisprudence is that they can't come and take your money
because your money is not evidence. You know, you don't
boast your people shouldn't boast their bank balances, you know, for
everybody to see, you know, you might boast your Rolex but you're
not going to boast your bank balance. Right. So that is the
responsibility individual to give.
So when the profit center person this Walid Abner AKBA
to the bedroom was stuck, he came back and he said, so the province
awesome, got a bit upset and he was actually going to go with a
with a force that what's going on, you know, to implement the Zakat
on them. However, they heard, right, that this is what's
happening. So they quickly came, they quickly came. And they they
cleared up that no, that wasn't the case. We're not withholding
the Zakat. There was some other problem here, right with them. So
that's why Allah subhanaw taala tells us and tells the people who
believe that Be careful about who's giving you news, you could
have had a war right now, there would have been an attack because
of this is a misunderstanding, or it was, you know, manipulation, or
miscommunication or purposeful. So he says, in another era, for those
who understand the different modes of reading instead of Fatima,
Eunice Fattah Thurber, too. So establish the point of view,
right, establish the point of view before you do anything. Otherwise
you could be in ignorance, you're gonna do something in response,
right? Let's just say you hear from one of your friends that
another friend said something about you.
Now the guy who told you he's not very trustworthy, but you just
believed him and got very angry and you started attacking the
other guy was like, What? Are you attacking me? For All? Because you
said this about me? I didn't say that about No, no, you're lying.
Can you see how bad it's gonna get? It was all made up by the
other guy to cause a conflict between you. That's why be very
careful when people bring you news. Right? Be very careful,
don't be such that you want to do something about it straightaway.
Be very considerate in what you do. And obviously leaders need to
be very careful about these things. People in authority need
to be very careful about this. People who run organizations need
to be very careful about this Imams, and religious leaders and
teachers. And in any position that you are where you have authority,
you have to be very, very careful about this. Otherwise, it's caused
a lot of problems. Now today, we have the biggest fantasy team
going around telling us things, the biggest transgressors telling
us things most of these news media's as finally the world has
understood, or is understanding the hypocrisy before people who
say no, it's not that hypocritical. There was a bit of
hypocrisy. But now there's become a very simple criteria of what's
going on now. Right. And so one has to be very careful. A lot of
the time, you have to be careful of WhatsApp as well. There's been
people who have been killed on WhatsApp. And they're still alive.
One of our local big scholars in the UK, he was not dead yet. But
the news goes out that he's dead. And his family has to pull out No,
no, he's still alive.
So I don't know people like to be Trigger Happy on their phones to
make up messages or to get a message and just forward it. One
has to be very, very careful.
Otherwise,
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said it is GAFA Bill Maher,
Caliban, and you had the Therby Colima Samia
GAFA, Bill Maher II can't even and you had this before Lima Summit,
it is sufficient for a person to be considered a liar. That he just
says everything he hears.
He just forwards everything he he receives. Oh, this is a really
cool Hadith. I mean, is it really a hadith? Right, it sounds too
fantastic. It sounds to
me it's a sounds a bit too, you know, a bit.
Sensational. Yes. Right. And you just forward it on. I hardly
forward anything on and there's some people that just love
forwarding, that's their job is forwarding. Right? I remember once
it was somebody who came to visit and said, Can I have your numbers?
I gave it to him. And I just started getting forwards. I said,
Is that why you took my number? I said, please unsubscribe me.
Right? This is person mailing list. So I said, please
unsubscribe me. I said, if you've got anything personal to say,
Please You're welcome. Then say as much as you want but don't forward
stuff. I don't have time because we receive all of these things
from multiple sources. So one has to be very careful about these
things. What you hear what you see, try to have some sense in
determining whether what you hear what you receive on your different
social media is correct or not. And we're living in a post true
post truth world
When you don't know what to believe,
you go on to Facebook and other places. And there are so many
remedies that they tell you about. For a sore throat, do this for
this do this. And recipes for different things. I don't know
what to trust anymore.
There'll be 10 recipes for a sore throat, we don't know, do they
really work with just somebody making something up? Right,
because a lot of things have been found, you know, for example, they
will have recipes for how to make this really beautiful cake or
something. And then later, they found out that I was actually a
won't make that kind of cake. Just cut and paste job. Because it just
sounds really cool and miraculous. So I don't know what to trust
anymore. It can you believe it? You know, when you want a bad
place that is to be where you don't show it to trust.
That's a really sad place to be. Because we can't take what we see
for granted. Because we don't know whether I mean you guys don't
really understand is, you know, our little brothers here, don't
really understand because you haven't dealt with too much of
that. But the adults, the world we're living in is just very
confusing. We don't know what you have to be so careful what you
listen to what you want to take and what you believe that's why
I've just become a lot more careful.
The world is going through a writing system or right to set the
to set the record rate.
And I don't know what's going to happen, but we just need to be
careful. We need to protect ourselves because Allah subhanaw
taala gives us these indications in the Quran that Be careful,
otherwise, you're going to cause a lot of conflicts and problems
because of misunderstandings. So don't ever do that. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then actually sent they went back they
told the person then they went back then the prophecy was sent
Khalid bin Walid to them.
He sent Heidi though the Allahu Anhu to them, to just check them
out to make sure that it is as they said, and they're not just
making an excuse, and mashallah they they were decent people, they
were not trying to cause problems or anything like that. So
alhamdulillah a big issue was was averted.
And that's why I've been told that look, if the Prophet sallallaahu
son was just to take everything you said, there would be a lot of
problems that would be caused because of Brexit Rossum is the
leader. And if he's to listen to all different advice and just take
everything, that's why especially people who are in positions, they
have to be extra careful. But Masha Allah. Now,
for those who are reading this carefully, there seems to be an
exception made here an exclusion. And it seems to say that, however,
God has endeared faith to you and adorned it in your hearts. This is
not a real exclusion from the previous part, that it's saying
that even if you do this, but Allah has made, even if you do
these weird things, but Allah has made the faith strong in your
hearts and adorned in your hearts, now this talking about a
difference. So this is actually to two different groups. For those
who understand Arabic and grammar, this is is this non grata? In a
sense, right? So this is has no connection to the previous part.
It's a new idea that now there are good people who Allah has adorned
in their heart, good Iman and Islam and so on. So they don't
make these kinds of mistakes. May Allah make us of these kinds of
people? I'm going to tell you the story.
For the next set of verses, the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam was
once riding a
donkey, Mr.
And they were in one place and suddenly the donkey started to
urinate.
release some water. You know, that means started to release some
water. Have you ever seen a donkey release water? No. Okay, so
there was a hypocrite whose name was OB, OB.
Abdullah if not obey Ben cellule. He is massive here but he was
actually reason why he had so much anger in him is because he was
going to become the one of the leaders of Madina, Munawwara but
after the process on came,
he lost his value. So he's very angry, but he used to show himself
to be a believer, because it was just better and more profitable to
be that but he used to undermine things and cause problems. So when
this event happened, he put up his nose,
put his hand on his nose and made it out like this is being foul,
you know, that. So, Abdullah, ignore rawa or the Alon, who's a
great Sahabi and he's also a poet. He got
angry and he said that Wallahi the urine, right? The urine of the
the dog
King of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is much more
excellent and beautiful in terms of its odor than even your mask.
Right? It's much better than he was Why are you putting up your
nose for and why are you covering your nose for? So, in those days,
they were tribal. So
these two people, they were from different tribes. So each person's
tribe came to their defense, and they started having a bit of about
they started fighting with one another.
So, in order to how to resolve that conflict, the next set of
verses are telling us that when two groups of Muslim mean two
groups of believers, two factions, right, when they have an issue,
what should you do? Rather than taking sides? What should you
really do? Right? So that's the next set of verses. Allah subhanaw
taala says,
what you thaw if attorney Mina Mina Cortelyou ously who been a
homer for in Bella Ada, Houma, okra Katene, Letty, he had the fee
for fall asleep who may you know whom Erbil ideally well consider
to in Allah and your hipbone mocha CP in in ML Mina were to firstly
Hubei in a hallway gum, what the hula hula i Look whom door Hi
moon.
Yet, if ever two groups of the believers fight one another,
then set things right between them.
So,
in a committee, in an organization, in a neighborhood,
to groups of people, to families, they begin to fight one they both
believers, you need to try to reconcile between them rather than
make it worse.
But if one of them remains unreconciled, and commits
injustice against the other, one of them is the transgressor then
fight the one that commits injustice then go against those
guys. Don't support them then. Because remember, in those days,
the tribal way of doing things was you had to support your tribe, and
your family even if they were wrong.
Even if they were wrong. Also a ha. A haka. volumen, ona lumen,
fame famous statement in those days, you need to assist your
brother, whether he's the oppressor, or whether he's the
oppressed. So even if he was the oppressor, you had to support him,
you come out, you take his side, even if he's wrong.
The province has changed that afterwards, he still made the same
statement, he took a different meaning because they got the when,
once when the person said this, you got to be surprised. Why are
you saying that? He said, the way you help you have to help your
brother, even if he's the oppressor, even if he's the one
who's doing wrong, how do you help him stop him. That's how you help
him, you don't help him by going along with him and fighting the
other guy and helping him to wrong the other person. So the person
really cleverly just changes and you need to help your brother.
If he's the oppressor, you need to help him to stop. And if he's the
oppressed one, then of course, you need to defend him. So that's the
discussion here.
That if one does commit injustice against the other, then fight
against the one go against the one that do injustice, until the group
reverts to the rule of Allah. And of course, if this is the Muslim
leader, then he can use force, you can use force, right? yet. So this
would be related to us according to our status. If we don't have
any force and of imposition, and so on, we're not the police, then
we just do our best through words and convincing, convincing and
persuasion and so on. Yet, if it so reverts, then again, set things
right between them, meaning if they mess up again, and they start
conflicting again, then set it right again.
Between them with equity, and be just because indeed, Allah loves
those who are just, indeed all the believers are brethren. All the
believers are brothers and sisters, thus set a right
relations between your brothers and fear Allah so that you may
have you may be shown mercy historically, historically, there
was Sims when they were the major rulers of the world, and in
different places, and even today, in the different countries we
have. One of the biggest problems that is being caused is no unity.
And the reason for a disunity is that each group or country has
been made to hate their neighbor. There's so many countries like
that. Muslim countries, they don't see eye to eye that the borders
are closed. And they both Muslim countries. You can't go from one
country to the next
who's right who's wrong? Just silly things sometimes.
And that is the only way you can weak that's the best way to weaken
somebody if you want to weaken somebody divide them. That's
exactly what's happening. Now, the next set of verses they are the
middle set of verses.
They have some really interesting guidance on some really
interesting add up. So let me read the verses and you'll understand
from here the laws that we're talking about. Next verse, verse
number 11. Yeah, uh, you Halina Amendola is called poem mill
coalminer as a cool new hire on main home, while an ISA mean Nisa
in Eisah. A con Hiram in one. What I tell me is you fullcycle Mother
Earth and Bezu bill a job Bitsa surly small fosu co, back then,
Imani Wama lemmya to buffer hula, eco humo volley moon, I'll take
these verse by verse because each one of these dimension a very
specific, very important guidance. This one is Oh, you who believe
men shall not scoff at other men. SCAF means you speak in a
demeaning tone about others. You speak in a sarcastic way about
others. Do you do that to your brother? You don't do that. Right.
Okay, good. Do you do that? Does he do that? Are you two brothers?
Yeah. You're older than him? By how many years?
Are you two years older than me? Just one.
Oh, he's older. You look so big. Mashallah. So, men shall not scoff
at other men. For those whom they scoff at, may actually be better
than them. By Allah, they may be better than you and you're
demeaning them and humiliating them and saying bad things to
them. No shall women's coffered other women
for those whom they scoff it may be better than them.
It's, it's just wrong to scoffer other people. Right? Okay, a
little bit of a joke, maybe understandable, but to demean
somebody and look down upon somebody, that's a major issue.
Just because I'm from a certain tribe, or a certain country or a
certain area or a certain ethnicity does not make me
superior, because I didn't even choose to be from the ethnicity is
not something I designed.
Allah just placed me there. Yes, if you have good qualities, in
your background, in your ethnicity, then thank Allah. But
that's not a way because they'll they'll have also some good
points. We all have good and bad points, we all have a set of
qualities, and a set of challenges and weaknesses, every one of us,
right. So don't do that. And then Allah says,
nor shall you slander each other.
Make up stuff about one another. Nor shall you revile each other.
revile means you say bad things about one another and insult one
other like that. Nor shall you revive each other by way of
abhorrent nicknames, meaning evil nicknames, bad nicknames you make
for one another.
When you're young, you do that usually right.
And some people do, and they all know you know what the worst part
of a nickname is? Why I never make nicknames for anybody, I feel very
bad. Even if I make a joke about somebody that it doesn't become a
nickname. Let's just say that I made a nickname about you. Right?
in all innocence or whatever, you don't like it.
And people picked it up. Is there any stopping them?
Once five people pick that up, they tell other people, it does
not stop. It's very difficult. Like if you make a name up about
somebody, and somebody heard it, and he told somebody else. Now,
even if you try to stop it, it's very difficult to stop.
But every time somebody is going to use that nickname, and the
person who you made it about, is upset by that you're getting
sinful.
It's like this investment gone wrong.
Right? It's just this investment gone wrong. That's why I'm very
careful about what I say about somebody. Because, oh, you know,
and I Subhanallah the sometimes it could become Reba once in my
class, when we were studying Sahil Bahati or one of the books and our
shake was sitting there. My neighbor, the person who sat next
to me was I was the tallest in the class and he was the shortest in
the class. And mashallah, we had a healthy competition in terms of
studies. A beautiful brother, may Allah bless him. So one day he
wasn't there. So the Sheikh said, Who's missing? I said, So and so I
mentioned his name, said Who's that? I said, you know,
The short guy went like this. So the sheikh didn't say anything.
Then when my, when my colleague came in, and he sat down, then the
Sheikh said, seek forgiveness from him because you back by to them.
It's like, how did I back bite him by saying that because he may not
like that, right? But I went like this by meaning is short. Right?
So something similar happened between the Prophet salallahu
Salam and Aisha Radi Allahu Anhu.
She said something about somebody in Prosser or some told her.
So one needs to be very, very careful because these are Quranic
injunctions there to keep our society because if you notice,
this is about maintaining society, maintaining communities,
maintaining families, maintaining a cohesion between them, these are
things that just mess everything up between families is what
happens in between friends. So then Allah says, right, do not
revile each other by way of abhorrent nicknames. woeful is the
ungodly name after attaining faith, thus, whoever does not
repent from this. So
after you've brought faith, how can you be doing all of these bad
acts that we've been saying you shouldn't do? So Allah subhanaw
taala is discouraging them that you're a believer. Now, how can
you do this? This is not something that a believer should do.
Thus, whoever does not repent from this, then it is these who are
wrongdoers, and godless in heart. Allah as always remember, in
every, every time Allah condemn somebody, right, he always gives
away out, he always gives them except those who make Toba except
those who seek forgiveness, except those who make amends always
because Allah doesn't want to condemn anybody for ever.
He always gives away out always, so he says except those
you know, women who make Toba fine but woman Lamia to whoever does
not repent, then they're going to be the oppressors.
Now the next part here you have Loreen manager Tony whoo Kathy
Romina Vaughn in the knee is more than just so what are they just
says Who are your water BELL Do come back.
Are you Hey, Bo ahead. Welcome a cola Murphy. He made fuckery
taboo. What the Kula in Allah had the wobble Rahim.
Okay, this is probably one of the most pertinent verses here. Oh,
you who believe?
avoid much suspicion.
avoid suspicion.
For indeed certain kinds of suspicion are sinful as the first
point here.
Suspicion what is suspicion? Let's just say that you came out of the
masjid.
And there's somebody who you usually you say salaam to, you
know, the brother, et cetera. He came out at the same time, put his
shoes on there were a lot of other people and he put his shoes on and
he went
and he did not make it out to you.
He did not acknowledge you.
He did not acknowledge you. So
you now start thinking he's got a problem with me.
Why would if you think somebody's got, you know, because he did not
say salaam to you. And he did not look at you and smile at you. You
think why didn't he do that? Right? Because he's got a problem
with me. Okay, then you're gonna think why is he got a problem with
me?
Why is he got a problem with you? Then you're gonna think back over
the next over the last few days a week. Oh, you know what, it's
probably that day I said this or he said this, or he's doing this.
And you'll just create this whole story.
Big Story, mashallah that you can write about? Right?
And you then tell somebody else. So that person then goes and tells
him
what is he talking about? Nothing like that. Oh, but you did not
make salam to him that day. Which day, you know, last Friday, or,
you know, last Friday I had.
I was so busy that I prayed my just about mediate for Joomla and
I had to run somewhere for a meeting. And I just wasn't even
thinking correctly.
That's it. There was no bad feeling. He just was busy that
day.
He just was busy that day. Now as an Imam, I've had this experience
where one day somebody came to me said brother Mustafa right? thinks
that you don't like him.
I don't have any posts anything personally. Most of us are nice
guy. He was actually my neighbor. Right? I'm just making the name up
right now
He was my neighbor. I've got no issues, nothing, no issue. So I
started I said, What's the issue? I don't have not had any issues in
it. I don't speak to him on that kind of such formal, sorry, a
personal level that they could even go anything wrong, you know?
I said why? He said, Okay, I'll find out. So he said, Oh, because
sometimes you come outside the masjid. And you don't speak to
him.
So, you know, as an Imam, when you come out of the masjid, everybody
wants to meet you.
Right? You know, as soon as you come out, if you've been an Imam,
you'll know you come out of the machine, and everybody wants to
meet you. So what happens is that you think somebody comes, somebody
comes to my wedding? Have somebody come, right? You can't talk to
everybody for two minutes. Because then everybody will be waiting.
You know, like, if I meet you, and then I start talking to Brother,
how are you and everything then everybody's waiting? So I'm a very
fast guy, usually I try to just get things done. So I was like,
somebody could well how are you? You know?
So it was one of those things.
So you make this whole story up. But then that taught me a lesson
that look I need to be maybe show a bit more attention, because if I
missed I'm not going to be able to
go and explain to everybody so I better be careful. So that so I
tried to be a bit more
but still, you know, I tried to be a bit more careful in doing that.
And my mashallah, there's some people you meet them outside the
masjid, they're retired people. So they'll hold your hands for five
minutes and talk to you.
So there's one brother in my previous locality and he's a
retired guy, mashallah comes to five daily prayers, Mashallah. And
outside salamati Come and then he'll hold your hand and talk to
you. And I need to get away because I've got something else to
do. So then I started avoiding him. So I would see him there and
I would say salaam to him from afar. Somebody can carry on right.
Then one day, I said look, how long am I going to avoid this?
Well, because we have to educate. So I went I said, mentioned his
name. I said you know what?
Mashallah, you have a lot of time. You know, we said that you have a
lot of time, but others don't have that much time and sometimes
mashallah we make salaam with you, and shake your hands. And it
takes, you know, three minutes. So I think you understood, right that
you know, we have so I think then he became, because then people
don't really think is good. This there's one person I've noticed
that when you make salaam with him, he kind of very holds very
tightly, and then he slides his handout. Right? And he thinks is
cool, but I'm guarantee there's gonna be some people who don't
like that. But what is he doing? You know, he is completely honest,
you know, he's completely innocent, but just getting
different cultures maybe, you know, or something like that.
He says, How do you tell somebody these things? So the Quran is
giving us these different guidances. So this one,
especially, I mean, we don't have too much time. Otherwise, we'd
really open this up much more. But one of the biggest issues that
causes problems between husband and wife and families is just bad
thoughts. Just this suspicion.
Suspicion, oh, she'd not text me today. While I'm at work, there's
something going on. Maybe he's got somebody else. Maybe she's got
somebody else.
Allahu Akbar. And it leads to paranoia. I've had women.
I mean, it could be men as well. But you know, I've had women who
will wake up in the middle of the night to go and check their
husband's phone to see they're literally mining for misery. Let
me find something to be miserable, miserable, abandoned, some, some
men are a bit weird. They do do these weird flirting things
thinking they've got boundaries. So that's very wrong for them to
do that. That's why we're told that you need to avoid
it the cool miroir to him avoid places of suspicion avoid being in
a place where
you could be under suspicion because it's not right to create
that purchasing Oh, they should just understand No, I mean, you
have a responsibility as well. Right? Once the profit and loss
and I'm after a nighttime after Isha sometime. He was walking with
one of his wife Sofia. Been to her Yeah, Radi Allahu Allah. Now it's
all dark and she's covered up and everything. So there's two Sahaba
on the other side, and they suddenly see him so they started
walking fast. Right? So you know, let's ignore what's going on. I
mean, Allah knows best exactly what the prophets Allah has
immediately said Allah is eurycoma Wait, hold up. This is Sofia been
to her a just so they said Hola. Hola. Hola. You know, they said we
had no no bad ideas.
He said, That's fine, but shaytaan courses through the human being
like your blood does, he is going to create shaytaan will cause you
suspicion. Who is he with?
Is he with another woman? That kind of an idea.
So our job is that we don't be suspicious.
Right? Because most things don't even concern us. And the people
who are involved in things they should just avoid and be careful.
And try not to do things that are suspicious. Do you think do do
things that are suspicious? Okay, that's that point now. Then the
prophets Allah then Allah subhanaw taala says, wala Yatta battle
Dokkan Battle the
next part, and do not back by one another. Don't do Hiva don't back
by one another.
Now to make it to show how bad Backbiting is Allah subhanaw taala
gives a very graphic example. He says would you think of this?
What's your name?
Abdul Rahim? Would any of you like to eat his dead brother's flesh?
Exactly. Sounds. I mean, would you like to eat your living brother's
flesh? Now, right? That brother says she's even worse. Can you see
how gross that sounds? Right?
You would most surely abhor it, meaning you'd hate to do that.
But that's exactly what Reba is.
That is exactly what Backbiting is like eating their flesh, because
you're consuming they are saying something bad about it's like
you're consuming them. There's a hadith that Imam Ahmed has
transmitted in his mustard, where two women kept her fast and they
started feeding very, very hungry. Like so hungry. That is like I
need to eat right now. So they sent a message to the promise.
Awesome. Can we break our fast promises and probably understood,
so he sent them a bowl? And it said vomit in here.
What did they vomit, not what they had for suhoor. They vomited fresh
blood and fresh meat.
So then the promise that I've said, you guys were backbiting
you are backbiting.
Now, you might say, if I backbite somebody is the flesh gonna come
in my stomach, we'll try it
back, bite somebody and then vomit up and see what happens.
That was just probably special in that was probably a miraculous
occurrence at that time, just to prove the point that don't. So
backbiting and what is backbiting to say anything about your brother
that they would dislike?
Anything, even making a face or doing anything with your with your
body that they would dislike like making that is even if it's true?
Even if it's true, is still backbiting Yes. The only time
you're allowed to back by the halal Backbiting is the guy's
conning people. He's cheating people. So you need to tell people
look, this is it. Or, for example, somebody comes and asks you for a
marriage
proposal for somebody and you know that there's going to be no
compatibility. So you're allowed to just diverge and do just enough
Lee but you know enough backbiting, right? If you want to
call it that, that would that would just give them the right
information. You can't now tell them the whole history, because
that's not relevant. You have to be very, very careful about this
because Allah subhanaw taala speaks about this in the Quran.
And then just to finish this off, says, you would most surely have
heard that Sophia Allah indeed God is unrelenting and mercy giving.
That's always acid always. Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the
web. Allah subhanaw taala speaks away out. Indeed. Allah is
unrelenting and mercy giving. So if you've made a mistake before,
ask forgiveness, because Allah is Forgiving and mercy giving. And
I think we'll just do the last verse to finish this off. You're a
human so in Kalapana come meal, the curry you Oh, why'd you?
Why'd you come show Ruben Elita raffle in a chronicle de la he
come in Allah Holleyman hobby.
Oh, humankind. Indeed we have created all of you. Now this is
like a collective verse to bring it all together. And say why you
should be careful with one another. Why you should treat
people with respect one another with respect is because oh
humankind. Indeed we have created all of you from a single male and
female Adam Ali Salam and Hawa Alia salah. Moreover, we have made
you then yes, now you're different. We have made you into
peoples and tribes. So that you may come to know
one another.
And indeed, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most God
fearing of you. Indeed, Allah is all knowing, and all aware.
Now, Allah tells us the wisdom behind creating people different
to one another, even though we're all from one another Marisa Rahman
how it is. Because throughout the world, people have different
cultures, different things they eat, some people can eat chili,
and some people can't eat chili. Now, if I being a typical Indian,
create, you know, have food, that's chili, and then I invite
some Syrians over, or people who don't eat chili, right, without
considering that the food's gonna go to waste. They're going to be
crying.
Right? They'll take a few bites, and then they're going to be
crying, they're going to be sweating. So if I know that, you
come from a certain culture, I can try to cater for that. I can try
to cater for your norms. I can try to cater for your sensibilities
and your culture. It makes a difference. Once in Madina
Munawwara there was a local grocery store, I went to buy
something, and I try to look at people and try to understand where
they're from. It's just some personal thing that I like to do.
So I couldn't place this individual I couldn't place him.
So where you from? He tried to avoid the questions because he
probably gets his question in Medina whenever there's hundreds
and 1000s of people all the time. So he says, I'm just from the land
and I'm from the earth and I'm a Muslim and so no matter which
country you're from, and then finally, I persisted and he said
he's from Mauritania. Now, I just been to Mauritania before that,
so, so when he said that I suddenly started the Mauritanian
greetings. They do like a five minute greeting when you meet
somebody. Yeah. colobus er Kumar will clean your cabin. They just
like repeat these words over and over again. Right. And as soon as
I did that, he just his face just lit up beamed. And he's like, Oh,
you've been to Mauritania. And that's it. It's like take it for
free. You know, take your your purchase for free. People are
mashallah they just amazing, right? The other day, I told
somebody that in the masjid is one of the guys who was listening. I
said, You're from Afghanistan, I've been to Afghanistan a few
months ago, and mashallah, he got so excited. Right? He got so
excited people get very excited hamdulillah because that's how you
connect with one another. And now, for those who just the final
points about the tribe, right, which is very, very,
very interesting.
So
Allah says, that we created you from Adam and from from one single
set of parents, right, but then we made you into separate tribes.
Now, I just want to show how tribes are very important. They
were for the Arabs, but many other cultures are losing it. They don't
even have a tribal surname anymore. They just take the
father's first name as their surname, which is a bit strange,
to be honest. A surname is your family name. It's what you are
known as that. Okay, you are all the hands. Right? Your hand,
right? Yep. So you're on the hands. You are all
what you're saying. You have no tribal names at all. We have a
tribal name, or you do Yeah, what is that?
Oh, that's the coolest. Huck's Oh, that one. Okay. All right. What
about you? The body, the body mashallah does abaris Right. And
Kim, What's your surname?
A frame son. There you go. Masha, Allah, my name is Mangueira.
Right. So surname. So you ended up Oh, I know, someone gave us you
know, like, I know them, I understand who they are because
tribes have certain qualities or challenges or weaknesses or
issues. So you know, all that kind of stuff. Now, I just want to
share this with you because I think it's really um, so that you
understand this a bit more. Allah says, which I know I'm sure Ruben
Wakaba ill. What's the difference between Shroob and kabbah? Right.
So Shroob is the plural of Shab. Today Shut up just refers to like,
community of people. But really what Cheb refers to is that is the
highest tribal that's the that's kind of you can say the mother
tribe.
Right? The mother tribe is the Shab
then it so that that's you know the answer. They were the house
and the hazard edge. They were actually from one tribe from Bhanu
kala right but if you look at the Prophet sallallahu CEMs tribe,
right, so the main head person
and the overall arching name, they that is what you call the sharp
okay.
The kabbah il then is the second level the Kabbalah is the
subcategory of the sharp it's a subcategory The second category,
okay. Now it doesn't stop there, right. After that, you have ama IV
or Aymara. So if that device further they become Aymara. Okay,
that one you don't hear used so much. Okay. Then after that, you
have Batoon button on you
Quraysh button the stomach, so then you get a further fourth
level subtribe called a button right there the button right then
after that you get the other half or the fuck of which means the you
call
the thighs that's it's kind of almost like making it into a human
being lifestyle that good becomes further subdivided into the fuck
of right that part of the tribe right and then fossa il four sila
that's a subcategory of the fucking right. So, if you know the
if you know the
the family tree of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, then to take
that as an example the highest level there whose aim is the
shower, right? Kena is the Kabila Quraysh is the Imara. Kosei is the
button. Hashem is the fuck of an Abbas. If we use a bursary on
Uncle Boris, I seldom he becomes the vasila.
And the purpose of this is so you can get to recognize one another,
and your understanding and your cultures and we can be sensitive
to that. That's one of the benefits of that. So Allah
subhanho wa Taala is telling us that ultimately, you're all from
one. But yeah, you do see differences in color, style,
languages, and so on. That's just the worldly aspect of it, because
of where you come from, where you live, what you eat, and so on. But
ultimately, you're still from the same mother and father, so don't
be racist, don't look down upon one another. If you've got a good
quality in your tribe, hamdulillah thank Allah for it, but don't use
it to look down upon somebody else, because they're probably
going to have some really good points in their tribe as well. So
with that, we're going to stop here because our time is up, there
are about four or five verses left on a slightly different subject,
but Alhamdulillah we've covered two of the main categories of
subjects of this verse of the surah May Allah subhanaw taala,
accept, and may Allah subhanho wa Taala bless us all with the Quran
and illuminate us with the Quran. Let's take any questions that you
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate which you take 20 Short modules, and at the
end of that insha Allah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you will feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well as Accola here and Salaam Alaikum
