Do we mentioned before?
Is
the
what do you call it?
The plural of
Are you with me? In order to gain
and obtain
some goodness,
you get someone to actually do that for
you.
Anything like let's just say I'm about to
get into trouble.
I'm about to get into trouble and I
ask someone to intercede for me between me
and the police or whoever it might be
in order to
get that problem removed from me. It's what
a lot of footballers do.
After they've done some crime or whatever they've
done, whether it's for tax and things like
that, or he's gone and maybe,
you know, done something with a girl that's
underage and things like that. They pay end
up paying so much that, you know or
they get someone that's got links in the
court and things like that
to get the charges dropped.
Form of Shafa'ah, that's like
decision. We're living in an unfair society guys.
Money talks in it.
And
they now worship.
Pay attention here. Worship.
Besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that which doesn't
harm them nor bring any benefit.
And they say these
are our
interceders
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So they would now
divert
a bad debt
to these
things between them and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
In order to
gain intercession.
And Allah
says what?
And say to them, oh, Muhammad,
are these people
going to tell Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala from
that which he doesn't know in the heavens
and earth rebuking them. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is rebuking.
Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
and
glory to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is free
from that which they are doing in shirk.
So now making Dua to these aslam
Asking them
to ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to be a form of intercession for them
on Yawmul Qiyama
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has called a what?
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. This
is shirk.
And he has conditions
are both mentioned here.
Intercessions of 2 types.
Shafa'atun
Manfiyyah
that which has been negated.
And the kind of Shafa'at has been affirmed.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
All you who believe
spend in that which we have provided for
you.
Before there comes a day
when buying and selling
and intercession will be no benefit.
Wal kafiroon
and the kafiroon
are the oppressors.
So what do we just looking at this
ayah? We find out what? That the kafir,
the individual commits kufar or whatever it might
be, kufar or shirk.
The Shafa'at not going to benefit him.
Are you with me?
Because Allah
says
not the guy that oppresses and takes your
money. We're talking about the dulm because the
dulm is of 2 types. The dulm
that we know about, that everybody knows about,
and the kind of dulm that is shirk.
Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he quotes Luqman
alaihis salatu wa salam
when he's speaking to his son,
Oh son, do not commit any shirk.
For indeed the shirk is a great oppression.
Oppressions of 2 types, the oppression of Allah
by performing shirk and the oppression that I
might go up to Muhammad and steal his
back or I might swear at the other
Muhammad and Minhaj, you know, take his money.
All of these are forms of oppression
that has been prohibited.
And me being oppressive
in the other form is by me performing
shirk That's also a form of Zul.
So Allah says
They won't have a compassionate friend
and they won't have
someone that will intercede for them.
So any kafir
will not be able to
gain the the, what do you call it?
The intercession.
So I'm gonna ask you a question now.
Abu Talib,
he was a cafe wasn't he?
How come he gets a special treatment?
Good.
You find that the
no Kafir
will
be entitled to the Shafa'a on your Marqiyama.
The only one that is exempt is Abu
Talib.
Is the kind of Shifa'a that he will
be entitled to that he'll be leaving the
fire? The answer is no.
The mere fact that he used to help
and aid the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
and help him in his dawah when he
was being oppressed
and dul was being done to him
and he even told
his son Ali ibn Abi Talib to enter
into al Islam.
He used to tell his son go help
your brother Muhammad alaihis salam. Alia radhiallahu anhu
was the first Sabi that entered into al
Islam, the first young child that entered into
al Islam.
So you're wondering to yourself is that's kafir?
But he tells his son now to go
and help Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
Abu Talib he knew
that the religion of Islam that which the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam came out was
the truth.
He even has some lines of poetry.
He said this himself, I have come to
know that the religion of Muhammad is the
best of the religion.
If it wasn't for the blame and the
problems that would come to me,
and the people abusing me, You would have
seen me enter into the religion
without any problem.
So he knew that the original of Al
Islam that which the prophet SAW wasalam came
over the truth.
But
on his deathbed when the prophet SAW Allah
Wa Alaihi Wasallam was saying to him
Say A statement that I am going to
vouch for you upon just say La ilaha
illallah
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala I'm going to
vouch for you in front of Allah Azzawajal
And then you have his friends
Abu Jahal and Co saying what? Atarqaba and
Milita Abdul Muttalib Are you not going to
desire other than the Deen of Abdul
Muttalib? So they speak, the prophet speaks. They
speak, the prophet speaks.
And that's what bad companions
can do to a person.
He's going to be put in the
shallowest part of the fire.
You know in a swimming pool? You've got
where the kids go and then you got
to defend, you know, the shallowest part.
You know how the Munafiqoon
they go in the lowest part?
Allah says the Munafiq, the hypocrites they are
in the lowest part of the fire.
Abu Talib is gonna be in the highest
spot.
Not to say that
it's something light. The Prophet told us, it
will reach his ankles
When he reaches his ankles he's gonna end
up boiling his head, his brain.
Has anyone ever been burnt? I accidentally threw
a person once upon a barbecue.
That was going on.
The guy,
you know, it was an accident you know.
For days the brother was you know using
Vaseline and
you know, in pain.
So this is not easy. If this is
now the dunya, the fire of this dunya,
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us
about the fire of the akhira and now
the fire that you kindle within the in
the dunya is 1 seventieth
of the fire in the akhirah.
So one wouldn't even want to you know
sometimes you find people
I'm gonna carry on with my girlfriend, I'm
gonna carry on doing my thing but I
m going to you know have my tawheed
InshaAllah Allah you know might forgive me and
why would you even have a bubble around
your head? That there's a possibility you're gonna
you're just gonna touch the fire.
Are you alone with me?
So
the fact that it's just gonna touch his
ankles,
it's gonna reach a point where his brain
is gonna boil
and still that's severe enough.
It is the kind of request
that is requested from other than Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
in that which nobody is able to do
for you except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
On your Malakhiama can anyone protect you from
the fire? Intercede from you for you?
Except through Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Ta'ala
Nobody can come and benefit you
except
after the permission of
we're going to comment on it in sha
Allah the conditions of Shafa al Musbittah.
I mentioned earlier
Samir
asking Abdur Rahim to go to the king.
Is that shirk?
Why? Because he has a nazar in
it. But there are conditions.
There is conditions
if I am now going to seek intercession.
It happens a lot in Yemen to get
a fake passport,
to get a fake ID.
It's about who you know, where you know.
Asking someone Akhil, they it's basically the whole
a lot of things are just run through
Wasaid.
Intermediaries.
You can even come out to hear a
guy that's American.
He's got no Yemeni blood nothing and come
out tomorrow with a Yemeni passport.
It's that easy. You
just basically go through people ask this guy,
he ask this guy, he does this and
he goes you know ends up getting whatever
you need and money talks.
There's conditions.
Firstly,
'hadir'
He needs to be present.
He
needs to have the ability.
And what was the third one?
Hayyun, Jameel.
So Hazir, Nazir, Hayyun
present
sorry not Nazar why do I keep saying
that?
And also what? Hayyun. He needs to be
alive,
he needs to be present and he needs
to have the ability.
3 condition needs to be met.
Otherwise, they don't fall into shirk. I'm gonna
ask you now, can If
I go now ask to have Shifa'a for
me and I ask him,
bring intercede for me on your markim with
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Firstly, is the guy
Haber.
It's a statue
that can no benefit you nor harm you.
You break it, you keep it alive
it's not gonna answer you.
Allah
tells us if you call on to them,
speak into the Mushriks
They cannot hear your Dua.
And if they were to hear, they wouldn't
be able to reply back to you.
So how they're Qadr? They're not able at
all. Are they alive? They're not alive.
So how can Hubbu come on your Marqiyama
and be as a benefit for me?
As for
Abdul Rahim, he can most certainly
hear Simon what he's saying. He's present. He's
amongst them. And at the same time, he
has the ability to go to the king
because there's a good relationship between them.
And he can eventually
get that wife for him.
And the kind of Shafa'at has been affirmed.
It is that which is requested from Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
The guy that intercedes he has been honored
with the Shafa'ah.
And the one that is interceded for
It is the one that Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala is pleased with his speech and also
his actions Badil Even after the permission of
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
And who's gonna be able to
intercede for you except after the permission of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So, 2 conditions.
2 conditions.
The first condition.
Sorry.
The permission of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for
the Shafa'a
to take place.
Nothing will take place
except after the permission of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. And likewise the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
himself, he cannot intercede for anyone except after
the permission of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will say to him
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will say to him
after he prostrates to him raise your head
ask and you'll be given ask and you'll
be given
Ask for the intercession and you'll be given
the intercession.
So nothing will take place after the permission
of Allah
The second condition
Allah
has to be pleased and satisfied
for the guy that's interceding
and the one that's being interceded for.
As Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
says in the Quran
they won't be able to intercede except
with the one that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
is pleased or satisfied with.
When Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala be pleased with
a person that's committing shirk, The greatest sin,
the most greatest sin that a person can
fall into?
Of course not Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
in my Quran
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is not pleased with
kufr.
So if his slave now is falling into
shit and kufr, this is something that Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is not pleased with and this person
won't have the ability
Naam and he won't get that special treatment
on your Marqiyama
in getting a Shafa'a if he was from
the people of Major Sins.
Commission of Allah Subhanahu. The second one that
Allah has to be pleased
with the one that's interceding and the one
that's being interceded for.
So let's just say you have a bunch
of brothers,
all of you brothers you study together and
things like that. You know, you remember
You know how sometimes you have this picture
on social networking websites and social media,
what does it say again?
If you don't see me, what was it
again? Ask about me. Ask about me.
If you don't find me in Jannah then
ask about me. The intended purpose behind this
That let's just say after everyone's been put
into the Jannah and the fire, nam, you
know how people they get the ability to
you know intercede and things like that?
You've looked for your friend Adnan that used
to you know study with you and things
like that and you can't find him now
then ask about me.
This This is the kind of thing they
intend by the actual poster or the statement.
What was I gonna say?
I wanted to mention something else.
Nam, you have a group of brothers. Nam,
you have a group of brothers that you
know,
and you really want to, you know, you
want your friend that used to be with
you to come with you into a Jannah
and etcetera.
The they
will have the ability to intercede.
Likewise the Malaikadarusul
after that will be left to the people
then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will intercede.
Who will Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala intercede for?
Is it Mary and Jane and John who
used to commit shirk and kufr and they
used to say that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is a thalis and salas,
the holy trinity
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has told us
what Those who have said that Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala 3
they have fallen to Kufar.
Will Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala intercede
or allow someone to intercede for a person
like this?
Why?
I mentioned an Ayah just a few minutes
ago. What's the Ayah? No,
but this person has committed kufr.
Jameel Allah
is not pleased with kufr. So if a
person now has fallen into Kufr, no matter
what form of Kufr it is, this person
is a no go.
This guy is not coming out.
Eternally this person will abide in
the fire.
That's why the scholars they bang on about
and they talk about shirk shirk shirk shirk.
To hate or hate or hate or hate
or hate.
It is an important matter, something that they
go on about time and time again.
Are you with me?
And I mentioned this story time and time
again we see in the most best place
the best and most sacred place on the
face of the earth is where?
Haramakkah.
What are the people doing? I've seen on
my own eyes, people are going around the
Kaaba
saying, you Ali, you Ali, save us from
the fire.
Oh Ali,
Save us from the fire. They're calling on
to Ali Radhiallahu Anhu asking Ali Radhiallahu and
to save him from the fire.
So if this is now taking place around
the Kaaba
then how is one gonna come and tell
me,
listen all you will go on about speak
about ishirk
and Tawhid.
I'm gonna ask you a question. Those brothers
that attend with me every Wednesday.
Went through a hadith
went through a hadith
that
even if a person was only speaking about
Tawhid, would there be any aib? Would there
be any embarrassment?
Why not? What's the hadith?
Jameel. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
The best dua on the day of Arafah
and the best thing that I and the
prophets before me have ever said is
which
is a Tawhid. So this is the best
thing that one can ever speak about, talk
about, you know, ramp about all day long
is a Tawhid.
Even if the scholars were only speaking about
this, there's no aid.
But that's not even the reality.
So people will have the ability to take
people out after the permission of Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala and the guy that's committed shirk
whether it is grave worship whether it is
believing that Isa is God, naam all of
these are forms of kufr and shirk that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is not pleased with.
That brings us now
to the issue of a tasul.
Someone might say that I'm doing tasul
through
these people, righteous people and things like that.
And I'm trying to seek a means of
getting closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And there's a lot of confusion between
Tawasul
and the issue of a Dua and
shirk whether it's shirk or not.
Without a shadow of a daa we believe
in a tawasul.
Tawasul
seeking
a means of getting closer to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is part of our religion.
Sorry?
Tawasul
is seeking a means of getting closer to
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. As for Shafa'a,
when they actually request Shafa'a on Yawmal Qiyama
for them to be and intercede for them
on Yawmal Qiyama with Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Due to what? Hubul and all these statues
or them believing that those in the grave
they have a great minzilah in Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala and that he can what?
Ask on their behalf.
When in fact Du'a
is a form of Ibadah that you should
not be asking except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And Tawasul Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
Oh you who believe fear Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala and seek a means of getting closer
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. We believe in
it. Part of our religion.
We don't deny it. But what is the
Tawasul al Mashruw?
The Tawasul al Mamnu? The Tawasul that is
legislated
and the Tawasul that is not legislated.
Why is the thing that judges between us
Muhammad?
If any dispute we have,
how do we go about rectifying this matter?
We go back to the Quran and the
sunnah upon my dad's understanding.
Upon understanding of the Sahaba. Not my dad's
understanding, not on my teacher or my Sheikh,
even the Sheikh.
Even the Sheikh. Pay attention here.
If the Sheikh teaches me something that has
no daleel,
I have every right to go up to
that Sheikh, you
taught me now the religion of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. Please give me the proof of
that statement that you said.
Otherwise,
there is no knowledge
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said what?
Say to the Muhammad,
tell them to bring forth their proofs. If
they are what? Sadiqeen. People are truthful.
If you look at the ayah now,
the Mafhum of the ayah that
if you don't come with a proof now
you're a khadib, You are someone that is
not truthful and you are lying.
So there is a connection now between bringing
a dillah, proofs and evidences and likewise a
sikkh, the truthfulness of a person.
Otherwise, he is lying.
So this issue now
it is the Quran that any dispute that
we have,
the scale that we put it on. As
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said to us
If you ever dispute in anything,
then take you back to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala and His Messenger.
If you believe in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
in the last day
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he told us in
the Quran
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has lofty names.
Pull on to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with
these names. If you want Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala to forgive you, say You Gafoor Aur
Rahim
You're using the names of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala to make dua.
