First of all, I just would like to
apologize for last week
regarding the absence.
It was very difficult to get here. That's
why
the trip wasn't able to take place.
But we try to make you up.
We took a few
important issues related to Tawhid
in the previous lesson.
Regarding
singling out Allah
in his lordship.
As we all know,
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the almighty
creator.
And there's no one besides
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
in charge of all all of these affairs.
This is the Tawhid
singling out Allah
in his lordship.
And this is very, very important also because
this covers the the major aspects of Tawhid.
And it's not the only thing as well.
And we mentioned this last week as well.
We are all in a religion,
in the deen of Islam, where we have
to single out Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in
his lordship.
Many people have gone astray related to this
issue.
You find people
who worship other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
and we don't need to look far as
well.
We we find in our
streets, and likewise in the places that we
live,
many many
places where other people
worship other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
like churches,
temples,
etcetera.
And you find people worshiping
Jesus, alayhis salaam,
of singling out Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in
his lordship.
And a person needs to
verify and rectify this affair if he's going
to
establish the Tawhid
in the best possible manner.
And you cannot establish tawhid except by this.
And there's other aspects as well that we
inshallah, ta'ala, by the will of Allah,
the more we move on into the lesson,
we will come to know and learn.
So we took last week some of the
questions.
And Inshallah, a request from the brothers,
the more questions that we take,
that we try to memorize the questions, and
likewise, the answers with its proofs.
Because that's very very important.
When we tell the people
or when we preach to the people
and we don't give them the proofs, and
likewise, the basis,
this is not going to lead to anything.
Rather, everyone's statement is going to be the
same. This person says something, the other says
another, and that's it.
But if you have that
decisive
proof,
which is from the Quran and likewise the
sunnah,
it could end any sort of doubt there
and then.
This is why memorizing the proofs and likewise
memorizing the Quran, this is where all the
proofs are found, is very, very important.
The first question that we took was who
created you?
And the answer was, say Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala has created me, and he has created
all of the created beings.
And the proof is the statement of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala,
And the second question was, who is your
Lord?
Say Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is my lord
and the lord of all things. And the
proof is the statement of Allah,
Say it is other than Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala should desire as the lord while he
is the lord of all things.
And the final proof was,
All praise is due to Allah, Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, Lord of all that exists.
This is very, very simple,
and most people, they acknowledge this.
And we mentioned also last week
that it is not enough
for a person to acknowledge this affair in
order to enter into the deen of Islam.
To acknowledge that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
the almighty creator, and that's it.
This is not enough for a person to
enter into Islam,
because this is the thing also
that the Quraysh,
the polytheism of the prophet
time they used to acknowledge.
If you ask them who created the heavens
and the earth, they would say Allah.
But the thing
that
made them polytheists
was because
they
associated partners of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in
the worship.
They would know Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala brings
down the rain and he provides and controls
all affairs, but the thing is,
they would
make other deities beside Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
They would have the aslam, they would have
the statues between them and Allah.
And it was not enough for them to
enter into Islam
by this alone.
I hope that's clear, inshallah.
The final point I mentioned, I hope, inshallah,
is, understandable as well. Okay. Inshallah, we move
on to the
Darzah of today, the lesson of today.
When it is said to you, why did
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala create us or create
you?
Say, he has created you,
or he has created us to worship him.
And the proof is the statement of Allah
And I did not create
jinn and mankind except to worship me alone.
This this problem,
that inshallah, I'll mention right now, eludes many
many of the people.
Some people, they believe
they have been put in this world or
they have been put in this dunya in
order to make a living.
And they forget their main purpose why they
are here.
I'm not saying that the dunya, you don't
take anything from it.
Obviously, it's part of the affairs of their
life.
But many people, they don't
see the main reason why they're here.
The dunya has affected them so much,
they have forgotten Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, wants
them to do certain affairs and things.
This is why the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, he said, this dunya is
This dunya is cursed.
It was narrated by Tirmidi.
Why was a why
was a curse? Because why?
It beases a person away from the remembrance
of Allah
It takes him away
from his main objective,
which is to worship Allah
alone.
He did not put us in this place
without an aim. Allah
says in the Quran,
says in the Quran, Does man think that
we have left him without an aim?
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also says,
And does man think
that we have left him without no reason,
or we have put him here without a
reason,
and that he won't be coming back to
us?
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, questions the people
in these ayat.
So we have to think clearly why we
are here.
We have to ask ourselves,
in our day,
the way in this dunya, how much of
it goes to worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
How much of the time goes to establishing
or
trying to do what Allah
has told us in this ayah.
I did not create man and jinn except
to wash me alone.
How much of our time goes to waste?
Are we establishing our prayers?
Are we establishing our deen?
Are we fulfilling the main objective why we
are here?
If we're not doing this, wallahi, we have
to question ourselves
because we haven't been created for anything else.
All of these things go around the circle.
But the main thing that's in the circle
is our ibadah.
When we wake up in the morning, you
find people, the first thing that comes into
our mind, how am I going to make
money today?
It is not, am I going to establish
my prayer in this place? Am I gonna
be doing in the masajid?
Am I going to be paying my zakat?
How will I be worshipping Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala? Will I be reading the Quran?
Etcetera.
Our main objective should be what? Trying to
establish our deen, trying to perfect it, and
trying to get it in its order,
placing it in its proper place, then everything
else goes around it.
Your prayer,
your job goes around the prayer. It doesn't
go the other way.
When I have a job, I'm gonna pray
my prayer when I'm done with the job.
No.
Rather, it should be your
that
should have no effect upon everything else.
Your Ibadah needs to be our main objective.
You find a lot of people are afflicted
and likewise
trialed with this issue,
which is when they're given work,
everything else
related to the deen goes on standby.
His main priority becomes what?
I have to work.
So he latens the prayer, and he latens
our affairs of the deen.
This is something that should be think about,
and likewise,
be rectified.
Because I've seen many, many peep people complain
about this.
Or many people, when they start these works
or when they start these things,
their iman becomes very, very low, fearing they're
gonna lose their job if they don't pray,
if they don't establish the.
So inshallah, before we go to sleep, we
can think about these issues, which are very,
very important,
and we can ponder over it.
The The 4th question that the sheikh, he
mentioned in the book, Roberti al Mufidah,
he says, when it is said to you,
what is your religion?
Say my religion is the true religion of
Islam.
And the proof is the statement of Allah
Islam.
Truly the religion of Allah
is Islam.
The second high he mentions,
It is he who has sent his messengers
with his guidance
and the religion of truth.
And the 3rd ayah,
And whoever desires
other than the Islam
as a religion, it will not be accepted
from him, and he
in the hereafter will be among the losers.
A basic understanding of these few ayah that
has been mentioned by the Sheikh here
is that
the only acceptable religion at this time is
Islam.
I don't think that many people,
and likewise us,
realize
the importance of Islam.
The biggest bounty that a person can be
given
is the religion of Islam. If you look
back upon the ayat of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, you would find the biggest thing
and the greatest thing that can be bestowed
upon a person is Islam. Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us to remember and
likewise reflect upon these bounties in the
Allah says in the Quran,
and remember the bounties of Allah.
When you were enemies,
meaning before
the people they entered into Islam, meaning the
Sahabas.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala joined up your
hearts.
And because of this bounty,
you became brothers.
And you was on the edge of falling
into the hellfire, but Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
saved you from it.
Had it not been
for our Islam,
our case would be the same case as
the rest of the people that we're living
with.
And we don't need to look far as
well.
As soon as we step out of our
Masjid, we see all the people
doing their things.
You find the majority of the people are
what? They're disbelievers. They don't believe in Allah.
Allah
has not bestowed his nirm upon them.
We take this to be we take this
for a grant.
We take this to be granted
to us.
We don't see how major this thing is.
This great Islam.
Allah
If you follow the majority of the people
in the world, they will lead you astray.
Allah said the majority of the people will
lead you astray. In another eye, he says,
the majority of the people are mushrikeen.
This is the case of many of the
people that we're living with, and likewise in
this dunya.
We have been chosen
between the
many of the 1,000,000 or billions of this
world
to be what? To be Muslim in.
And because us having iman,
being Muslims,
we have the chance. We all have the
chance
to get closer to our main goal, which
is to read Jannah.
But the person that hasn't entered into Islam,
what's his case? He's very, very far away
and he looks like if he carries on
of what he's upon, he will be abiding
in the hellfire.
So his main objective, this dunya, this person
has failed in it until this point.
So for all them years that he doesn't
accept Islam, this will be his case.
This is why this is such a great
nie'mah.
And if we die, we always have a
major chance of entering into a the major
goal which is heavens.
The jannah of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
As for the many of the people's cases,
what? They will be abiding in the hellfire.
As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made it
very, very clean in his book.
For indeed the person that associate partners of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he has made the
Jannah prohibited against him.
So, it's upon us to ponder. And likewise
thank Allah
for these bounties that
has bestowed upon us. Especially the biggest one
which is Al Islam.
Al Islam.
And likewise, Allah
has made this religion very, very easy with
us, for
us. You find a lot of propaganda
or a lot of rumors taking place in
the media, etcetera, that this is a deen,
a religion of a extreme.
Because of why some of the acts of
the people.
They look at the people and it becomes
what? The whole of Islam is like this.
Rather, if you look at the Sharia, you
would find
that the deen calls to what?
Easiness.
The deen has been made very, very easy
for us, and if he was to act
upon it accordingly,
you would find it not to be harsh
or extreme as people they
claim.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in the Quran,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala hasn't put any hardship
against you in the deen.
And likewise says in the hadith, the prophet
says,
and he was narrating
on the authority of the
And a person not extreme in the Deen
except that it overturns him. And I'm gonna
come back and explain this, what this really
means.
And likewise, the prophet
he said,
Make it easy and do not
make
it
hard.
And give glad tidings and do not
scare the people away.
This is what the fundamental
religion is calling to. The deen of Islam
is calling to this,
that this deen is Youssar. And some of
the examples of this,
when a person, for example, is
performing a song,
and he becomes
or he goes on his travels.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made it very
easy in this in this occasion.
He can either carry on his own or
he can break it.
There's not an ayah or there's not a
hadith saying whoever doesn't fast, even in this
case, he's gonna get this amount of torment
going on against him, etcetera.
And likewise, there's many, many examples.
For example, if a person cannot pray standing
up
because of an illness,
or because of something he's suffering with, he
can sit down,
sitting down. And you can't do it sitting
down, what can you do?
On your side,
etcetera.
And the examples of this are very, very
clear.
So those clay that claim that this is
a deen of oppression, or a deen of
hardship,
this is absolutely not incorrect because the of
the deen,
the origin of the deen is calling to
otherwise.
And that takes precedence over
the statements of people of Bashar.
As for the meaning of Islam,
over the years, it has changed.
You find people, they say that Islam is
a way of life. This is the definition
of Islam.
Some people, they say Islam is peace.
The definition of Islam is peace, etcetera.
But if you was to go back to
the original text,
or the original meaning of this Islam,
you would find it is otherwise.
The correct meaning
is submitting to Allah
Well, and to go back to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala with obedience.
And the third one is
is to free yourself
from disbelief like shirk,
associating partners of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and
those that are related or connected to it,
the people of shirk.
For example, now if I was to say
that Islam is peace,
or I would believe
that the Islam
only needs peace.
As soon as I step into Islam, I
only
concentrate of how to make this Islam as
a peace.
Okay? Or to make it a dean of
peace.
Would I fulfill the objective
of the true definition of Islam? The answer
is no.
Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has told us
to submit
And those that only concentrate upon peace and
etcetera,
they're not submitting to Allah
of tuhid. Rather, they're leaving it out, and
they're concentrating on something else.
So this is something that is very important
that is upon the person also to know
very well,
the true meaning of Islam.
And likewise, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
the Quran,
And who has a better religion?
Submits his faith to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Meaning, he submits to the
affairs that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has told
him, which is turning back to him with
Tawhid.
You find from this proof
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has negated
all the other religions
to be a religion that can be accepted.
This is very very clean, this ayah.
And likewise, this deen has been completed and
perfected. It doesn't need another religion to abide
by it or kalalik. You need,
to connect to it or to be like
it.
You find people, they say
they try to get the other religions and
they try to connect with Islam, like the
old one thing. This was reasoning going on
in a
it was being put on the newspaper, etcetera,
that
they were,
the unity of all the religions.
Rather the deen of Islam is calling and
likewise making clear to us that worshiping other
than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will make you
abide in the hellfire.
So how can it be putting black and
white together? That's impossible.
Can you put black and white together? The
answer is no. You find a very big
difference to this.
And this is how Islam is with the
rest of the religions.
Islam has come in order to fight
the polycism that's taking place.
Most of the Quran is talking about Tawhid.
So how can it be connected to any
other religion
and try to combine all the religions together?
The answer to this is impossible.
Rabbi Allah
has perfected and completed his deen. He doesn't
need anyone to come up with anything
new or trying to
innovate anything inside it.
Allah
mentioned in the Quran,
The day I completed your religion,
and I completed my favor upon you.
And I've chosen Islam to be your religion.
There's a hadith in Bukhary
when a Jewish man
came to Umar ibn Khattab, radiAllahu anhu.
He said there's an eye in your book.
There's a verse in your book that you
read.
If it was to be sent down upon
us,
we would take that day
as a feast, Allah as an Eid.
So we asked him, which day is it?
Or which eye is this?
So we recited to him Allah statement.
The day I completed your religion.
This is what differentiates our religion from the
rest of the religions.
This ayah was not sent down
in the Injeel,
and likewise, the other books.
This religion was meant to come after in
order to complete
every act
of this deen, to perfect this deen.
Because the prophet
was the last person coming. The last messenger,
the last prophet coming.
He was sent down in order to establish
this deal, and likewise,
be of course to complete it.
So this is why
the,
he said this to
because if your religion is complete, it's perfect.
Their religion wasn't like this.
And likewise, they had a lot of,
a lot of envy for the Islam because
of what some of the things they came
with,
and this was one of the main things.
Just like an example, you have something that
is very, very complete,
and this person doesn't. He will always try
to what? He wants to get a thing
to complete
his thing of whatever he has.
This was the same case
there and then.
Taib. The 5th thing or the 5th question
of the sheikh
he asks us is what? When it is
said to you, who is your prophet?
Say my prophet and the prophet of this
entire nation
is Muhammad
The Messenger of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
the proof is the statement of Allah.
Subhanahu
wa
ta'ala.
Muhammad is not the father of any of
your men,
but he is the messenger of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala,
and the seal of the prophets.
And the statement of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
He is the one
who sent among the unlettered ones
a messenger from themselves reciting
to them his verses
and purifying them and teaching
them the book and the wisdom.
And verily, they have they had been
before in manifest error.
And the statement of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
So believe in Allah and his messenger, the
prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, who can
neither
read or write,
who believes in Allah and his words,
and follow him so that you may be
guided.
Okay.
The sheikh now
moves on
to giving on giving us an understanding of
the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Knowledge
is normally three things.
To know Allah
The second thing is to know the Prophet
of Allahu alayhi wa sallam.
The third thing is to know the deen
of Islam with proof.
Whoever studied
before, he'll find this in there,
the definition of ilm.
When the sheikh, Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhabi mentions
it in the start of the book.
The sheikh has started, if you go back
to the star of the book,
speaking to us about Allah
Trying to make us understand who Allah
is, and some of the rights of Allah
Then, he moves on to
giving us an understanding of who the Prophet
is.
First of all, his name was Muhammad ibn
Abdullah.
His first name was Muhammad, and his father's
name was Abdullah.
His mother's name was Amina,
and his granddad's name was Abdul Muttalib.
And he had the uncle called Abu Lahab,
Abu Jahal.
And you find the whole surah that has
been sent down upon him
in the in the end of the Quran.
Muslim, you know this surah.
He was the uncle of the prophet, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
And his best friend was
Abu Bakr radiallahu a'an.
The prophet sallallahu ahi wa sallam lived for
63 years.
He was born in Makkah,
and he died in Madinah.
At the age of 40, he migrated to
Medina,
and this was when he became a prophet.
And he died at the age of 63.
And some things related to the prophet
that he was the final
messenger and the final prophet.
The difference between the prophet and the messenger
is that
the prophet,
sorry that the messenger
has been sent with a message
and not necessarily every prophet has been sent
with a message.
Okay?
And he was both of them. He was
a messenger, likewise a prophet.
And this eye which the sheikh has mentioned
here,
This shows that he was the seal of
the prophets, and no one is coming after
him,
whether it is a prophet or whether it
is a
messenger.
He was the last messenger and the last
prophet.
As for some of the doubts that circulate
within our communities,
and especially in Britain,
you find some people they claim that
there's a messenger
coming after the
prophet
called Ahmed.
This is some of the major
misguidances
that we hear in this
time.
And there's many doubts related to this, and
it could be very, very deceiving.
There's an eye in the Quran where Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
quotes
Basically, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala goes, Isa, alaihis
salatu wa salam, and he says, I've come
to you
giving you glad tidings
of a messenger after me
called Ahmed.
This could now could cause a doubt in
the minds of many of the people, and
it's very, very dangerous as well.
Some people here, they claim, and they're very,
very well known as what they call themselves
or they're called Ahmadine or something like that.
They have some masajid in London, and they
have very major masajid, and they get a
lot of funding as well, etcetera.
This is what they believe that prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
there's a man coming after him called Ahmed.
And it's not
him. Rather, the belief of is
that what?
From the names of the prophet is
what?
Ahmed. There's a hadith in Bukhali that the
prophet
he said,
I have names.
Then he said, Ana Muhammadun.
He said that I am Mohammed, and I'm
and I am Ahmed,
and I'm also Mahi.
And in another narration he says, * Hashir.
We can understand from this that the prophet,
salallahu alayhi wa sallam, has more than one
name.
And that if you combine the proofs,
you would find that Allah
quotes Isa, and Isa is
trying to talk about who? The prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam. Not that, someone else is
coming after him.
And to believe that someone's coming after the
prophet
this is blatant disbelief.
A very dangerous belief,
that a person, if he was to believe
in it
and see it to be true, he could
make him leave the fold of Islam.
This is why these people even though they
say
they haven't
acknowledged and likewise to submit it that the
prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam is the last messenger
and it wasn't enough for them to enter
into Islam.
Rather, this takes them out of Islam.
Those that entered upon it, then after not
having these beliefs.
So this is very, very dangerous,
and likewise from the Shubahad,
that you find a lot of people being
misled.
Believing there's a man coming after the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and they use that
aya,
which is in Surat Asaf,
as a proof.
And likewise, we have another hadith, which is
narrated by Tirmidi.
The prophet
said,
There's no prophet after me and no messenger.
So,
some of the people
or some of the companions, they felt a
bit of hardship.
So the prophet
he said,
except for glad tidings.
So he was asked, why are these glad
tidings?
He goes,
having a righteous dream.
Sometimes you find Allah
shows you some things in the dream, and
then it takes place.
These are things of glad tidings.
That comes from Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And the same time you can get a
you can get a dream which is from
the Shaitan.
The dreams are 3. 1 which is righteous,
which is from
Allah and the second is the which is
from Shaitan. And the third thing is what?
It's Hadith and nafs. For example, now before
you go to sleep, you're speaking to yourself
about
having a merryland tomorrow,
Then you find yourself in the dream
eating merryland or something like this.
This is just,
the part of the hadith enough.
You find this, it happens a lot.
Okay? Before he goes to sleep, he's thinking
about something then. He sees inside the dream.
Okay?
The point I mentioned is hadith is that
what?
That in the prophet
said there's no messenger clearly,
and there's no prophet after me.
The reason why I thought it was essential
to mention this today why,
my cousin who lives in London, he's in
charge of one of the universities there.
And a person like this comes up to
him all the time. Try to give him
a few a few doubts, and no one
can answer it.
Because people there, they're very, very involved inside
the uni. They don't have much knowledge, and
you find people, they're trying to drag you
to the fiqhir.
So this person, what he's trying to do,
he's trying to grab him, because why he's
in charge of the what do they call
the union, the society union? He's in charge
of it. He's trying to pull him so
everyone else follows as well. And one of
the things that he mentioned to him is
this,
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says this, everyday
you are telling us, we say hala Allah,
we say Allah says, and the prophet
says, and now you're not taking this.
So it really really confused him,
and really affected him as well.
But alhamdulillah,
once you study more knowledge and you carry
on learning the din of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, all these things become very very clear.
And also which is very very important related
to this issue that the prophet
was sent to all the people.
Some people claim it was only sent to
the Arabs,
which is gonna come, I think, after a
few lessons.
Nam, it's going to come also after a
few lessons. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was
sent to all the people. This is a
belief that you have to believe as well.
Not only to a certain people,
rather to all of mankind, whether it is
Jin and also hints.
This was one of the things that the
prophet
was given specifically.
There's a hadith in Bukhari on the authority
of Jabeel.
That the prophet
said,
I have been given 5 things.
No
other person has been given this before me.
And one of the things was
The prophets before him
used to be sent to the people specifically.
For example, Musa Alaihi Salam was what? Sent
to his people.
That's why
Khidr
wasn't
prescribed upon him to follow Musa, alaihi, salatu,
alaihi, salam, because he wasn't from his people.
Okay? As for the prophet
at his time, it was upon
every single person
to follow him. This was the difference between
the prophet and
the rest of the messengers and prophets.
And inshallah, we conclude with this last one.
And we shed some light on it
last week, or, 2 weeks ago as well,
when we mentioned that the
One of the reasons why the sheikh started
the book was, the book with, Tawhid
was because what?
This is what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam and the prophets before him did.
And we're gonna see a hadith now,
when the prophet
sent one of the companions
to go give dawah.
The first thing he told him to start
with will be stuhid.
Okay. Number 6, when it is said to
you, what is the first obligation upon the
slave of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
Say,
learning the tawheed of Allah,
and the proof is the hadith of that
he said when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
dispatched Mu'ad
ibn Jabal to Yemen, he said to him,
indeed you will be going to a group
of people
from the people of the book.
So let it be the first thing that
you call them to that they worship Allah
Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Transmitted by Al Bukhari Muslim.
And this is the wording of Bukhari.
Here we find
a very, very clear path and way
of how to give dawah, of what to
start with when we learn our deen.
And, I mentioned a lot of these things
last week as well, but there's some new
faces here, I'll repeat some of the things.
The reason why
you have to start with Tawhid and why
it is so essential is that,
if you have no Tawhid,
and you are the biggest faqih in the
world
or the biggest learner of fiqh.
For example, now you know all the hkam,
fasting, praying, zakat, everything else,
and you have no to eat, this thing
will not benefit you.
It's like a person now, he prays the
5 daily prayers.
Then he goes to Fulan's grave and starts
making dua to him, or asking him to
give him things,
or to disperse some affairs for him.
This person now,
his salah hasn't benefited him. Why? Because he's
committing shirk.
This is why establishing the Tawhid is very
very important. And
and not a prophet except that he started
his Dawah with what?
This
is the first thing they call these people
to,
was to establish the Tawhid.
And we dispatch in every
a messenger.
For
him to call the people to worship in
Allah
and to stay away from the false deities,
the
This was the first thing that all the
prophets,
and likewise the messengers, they called the people
to.
And likewise the prophet,
how many years was he calling to?
Many, many years.
He's going out in the shop, going out
in the market saying,
was working on this for very, very long
periods of his life.
Then when they accepted the Tawhid, this is
when he went into what? The
salat,
and how to do this, how to pay
the zakat.
Okay?
This is what the prophet
did, and this was the way he called
the people to.
And I think that's enough, inshallah.
If anyone has any question related to what
we took today,
he's more than welcome to
discuss, Inshallah.
The
on the authority
of Okay. The first chapter is
then after it is.
Okay?
And also what I meant by that, the
hadith is very very important,
and Ibn Munir, he mentions this in one
of his books,
that how many people have we seen?
They are very very
over exaggerative,
and likewise, very, very extreme in the deen.
And not the time except they what? They
stopped doing the acts.
For example, you find a person who's trying
to pray
all night,
doing it.
I'm not saying shouldn't do it. Okay? But
obviously, you start
with something small.
And then likewise, build on that. And this
is what
mentioned as well.
Because if you put so much pressure on
yourself and so much
load upon yourself,
there's only a matter of time where you're
gonna stop and not do it. Okay?
And this is why the most continuous action
is most beloved to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Imam Bukhari chapters in his book,
The most beloved
action to Allah
is what?
The consistent one.
And likewise, he mentions then the Hadith of
Aisha
And the most beloved action to Allah
was the continuous action of this person.
Okay?
You find people, they stress themselves out so
much,
and because of him trying to establish the
superrogatory
acts,
he becomes deficient in his what?
Obligatory acts. For example, now a person is
praying all night,
then he goes to sleep some part of
the night, and he messes his prayer.
Is this not something that is,
suitable?
The answer is no. Because why? He's leaving
off what is president.
Okay?
What? He has to give more presidents in.
He's trying to do something else, and he's
leaving off his.
Okay? That's why a person should always try
to start very, very little, and likewise, build
on it.
Otherwise, he's gonna stress himself out, put so
much load on him, and he won't be
able to carry on.
K?
Okay.
Submitting to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
and turning to him with the obedience and,
freeing yourself from shirk
and his people.
And this is the statement of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
You have a perfect example
in Ibrahim alayhi salatu wa sallam.
I am free from you
and what you worship besides Allah
Not only did he say I'm no mushrik,
and likewise he freed himself from shirk.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said you have
a perfect example in Ibrahim.
No. The basically, this is from the
Okay? It's from the signs of the hour
which will happen in the end of the
time. But even him, when he comes down,
he's gonna be following the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
It's not like a prophet is going to
come after that, and we're gonna be told
to follow him and become the new messenger.
Okay? And also there's a hadith. I can't
remember the hadith now. That the prophet
said, had he been alive?
Okay?
Or on when he comes down, I know
I don't remember exactly.
When he comes down, he'll be following the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. InshaAllah, I try
to get the reference. If any of you
know the hadith.
The prophet
now.
Yeah, likewise. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And likewise, it's going to be, establishing
the deen of Islam, not the deen of,
you know, Al
Masih.
We call it the. And is from the
shaitan. Yeah. Okay.
What does it mean that the Mohammed is
not a father of any of you?
Okay.
If you go back to,
okay,
when
from what I remember, I looked at it
a few days ago.
Actually, it was maybe a few months ago,
but you find inside the under the aya,
that
when one of the
sons of the prophet
died,
okay?
Then this eye came down.
Okay?
And it was the last time when the
prophet
was called Muhammad ibnafulan.
The need to go over again, inshallah.
From India.
And he he stated, may the curse of
Allah be upon the liar.
Once they had the debate,
they went to look for him,
this Ahmadi as they so called.
And they
found him
him. Mhmm. Basically,
the argument is anybody who's at Amedy, you
just ask him where was he buried, and
you realize that Where was he buried? He
had to be buried at the spot because
he was not able to,
bring him out to Oh, okay. Yeah.
Okay. Like I mentioned earlier as well, that
for example, without Tawhid,
your and likewise, your our affairs is not
gonna benefit you.
And this was like the tariqah.
This was like the way of the prophets
before us, and likewise, the Sahaba.
Okay? When they used to call the people
to Islam, the first thing they started was
Tawhid.
Because once you establish the Tawhid and you
accept Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as your Lord
and you don't
make any partners with him,
then this is your basis. And with everything
else, you just go on with it like
that. Okay? And likewise, you have the hadith
here of Ma'ad when he went to give
the dawah. The first thing he started with
was
with tawhid.
Okay?
And if you thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he will increase you. There's an hadith,
the prophet
he said
that if a person wants to thank Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, he gives a say to
the shukor.
Okay? So he prostrates and he prostrates.
Okay? And thanks to Allah.
Okay? Inshallah,
we include the lesson of that.
