AI: Summary ©
After speaking last week about some issues related
to the like
Allah
rising above his throne and where Allah
is,
and also some of the issues related to
picture and its relation to
associating partners of Allah
I know a lot of brothers, they have
a lot of questions
and also a lot of,
issues, and they wanna discuss this even further.
Insha'Allah, after a lesson, whoever wants to discuss
this issue a bit more, we can discuss
it after a lesson.
And also after mentioning the things that I
mentioned last week, it doesn't mean
oh, I don't want people to understand
that you pick up an axe
and go into everyone's house and start ripping
up the
pictures they have inside the house or in
your mom's house or your dad's house
okay or start breaking the
television there,
no, rather what I meant is obviously when
you learn something you have to try and
act upon it and also
not
implementing in a way where you're gonna make
the people flee away from the religion
Okay? It's very important when a person gives
da'wah
or tries to inform something about some or
tries to inform the people about something.
He does in the best possible manner,
and he does it with gentleness
and also in a soft way.
Allah
has
said
and call to your lord
with wisdom
dispute with them in the best possible way
and Allah
has told us
to
dispute
and likewise argue with the
people of the book in the best possible
way as well
because if a person now uses hardship
and uses bad language and does it in
a very bad way,
instead of him trying to bring the people
closer he makes them flee away from the
religion,
he makes them flee away from the religion
like Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in the
Quran
and do not dispute with the people of
the mok except in
the best possible way
and if we also look in the Quran
we would find that when Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala told Musa and Harun to go to
Fir'aun,
we all know Fir'aun was,
he was the individual
that
claimed to be a lord,
he claimed to be the lord,
and even by this Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
told Musa and Harun
to go to him
and
use softness,
when he said
and say to him a very gentle word
so that
he may remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
so that he may remember
and using the opposite
would only make a person flee away from
the religion.
So when we tell the people this is
incorrect
or this haram, we don't force it upon
them we try to explain to them we
try to give them the proofs and we
try to use the best possible way otherwise
we're gonna make the people
flee away from the religion and they will
never ever accept
them.
And also,
what a person should know is changing an
evil,
if it's going to lead to a bigger
evil then a person doesn't do this.
Okay?
For example now,
Allah
says in the Quran, this is a principle,
a very known principle
that has been extracted
from the Ayahu Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
and do not
curse
the
other laws the A or the other guards
the Awashi besides Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
because they are going to what? Cast Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala
okay
because they are going to cast Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala you trying to change is evil
now and because of you trying to change
it their people are going to do what?
They are going to speak badly about Allah
Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
So a person now, if he knows by
doing something or trying to change an evil
because we have to try and change the
evil to the best of our ability when
we see something, okay, but if it's going
to lead to a bigger evil a person
refrains in this
particular matter,
I just thought it was reasonable that I
mentioned this so that people they don't go
wrong in trying to change an evil when
they see it and likewise in their dawah.
Inshallah, we discuss these things even more after
the lesson,
and we can touch on it even more
than last week.
Okay.
Did anyone have any problems related to Allah
being above his throne
from last week?
I hope that was clear
and understood perfectly inshallah
because, I remember I mentioned a lot of
Hadith, a lot of ayaat
to prove that Allah is above
his phone, and I hope there's also no
problem in trying to understand the 2 ayaat,
which I mentioned in the book.
The most merciful is Roosevelt's throne, and Allah
is
with you wherever you are. Okay?
If someone
neglects us Yeah. Believe in that. Yeah. Is
that taking them outside of his home? Okay.
Inshallah, I'm gonna speak about this today.
Okay.
The Moana attack fear. Okay. The things that
prevent a person
from being declared a kafir.
Okay? Because sometimes there's a there's a case
when a person, he does an act of
kufr,
okay, or he negates something
because of 5 things. And Inshallah, in the
middle of the lesson today, I'm gonna try
and touch upon that and try to
explain that a bit better.
Okay.
We move on, inshallah,
number 15.
If someone asks you,
what is the definition of Islam?
Oh, sorry. Did we take that last week?
Okay.
Okay. Number 16.
If someone asks you
how many pillars
does Islam have? There's different
signals.
I
think.
How is it? Okay. I'll finish it. Alright
then.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay. What is the definition of Islam?
Say it means
to surrender to Allah
by making all of the worship for him
alone.
To submit to him in obedience
and to be free from shirk.
The proof
for this is
Allah
statement.
So your God is one God,
therefore submit to him and give glad tidings
to the good doers.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala also
says,
all you who believe,
fear Allah as he ought to be feared
and do not die except
while you are Muslims.
Okay.
The correct definition
of Islam
is like it is mentioned here,
It means to surrender to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala by making all of the worship for
him alone,
to submit to him in obedience and to
be free from shirk.
These three elements
are very important that a person knows
when he discusses the issue of Islam.
Okay,
Some definitions that we hear normally for example
that the meaning of Islam is a way
of life
when you ask someone what is the meaning
of Islam he might give you that sort
of definition.
That's only some part of what Islam is
about.
Obviously the Deen of Islam is not a
religion where it calls to hardship
and likewise putting
burden upon a person,
okay, but to say literally
that the meaning of Islam is just a
way of life this is incorrect
okay rather these three elements that I mentioned
here where you have to submit to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with all types of obedience
and to be free from shirk and to
surrender to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
for worship alone. This is how a person
should describe Islam when calling to it.
As for the meaning of submitting to him,
which means anything that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
says,
okay,
or orders
and what the prophet
has ordered it's upon us to what? To
submit to it and accept it straight away.
A good example of this you find in
an army,
okay, or in his royal forces
when the captain is given an order, what
do the people do?
Like that.
Okay. They accept it straight away, they do
what the captain says to them, etcetera.
They do not reply back to him and
they do not what?
Absolutely show any sort of recollection or
they accept this straight way basically.
Okay. This is how our iman should be
and this is how we should be when
and command of Allah subhanahu wa has been
declared and likewise an issue has been decreed
by Allah
and his messenger.
Straight away we accept it and we do
not
try to,
defend our own desires or something that we
used to do after knowing the correct
statement of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Okay.
And also something that is important
is a person is free from shirk.
A person frees himself from shirk and likewise
his people. It is not sufficient for a
person to say
I do not worship Allah or besides Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
then at the same time he says no
I'm not gonna free myself from
shirk.
Ibrahim
is mentioned in the Quran as to be
the best example
when he
went and tried to call his father,
he said to him
I am free from you and everything that
you worship besides Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Rather
it's upon us to free ourselves and likewise
dislike
and hate this
disobedience that the people are doing.
And loving and hating is part of Iman,
is part of our religion,
to love and hate for the sake of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. It's a type of
Ibadah.
Like the prophet
said,
Whoever loves for Allah
and hates for Allah and gives for Allah
and prevents for Allah, this person has completed
his Iman. Okay. Hadid Abi Umama.
When I see someone doing disobedience I have
to hate that act of disobedience
okay, and likewise a kafir I do not
hate him
or I have to hate him but I
do not hate another Muslim,
disobedient Muslim like the way I hate that
Kafir.
Everyone in accordance to his actions
for example another person has committed innovation
you don't hate him like you hate the
Kafir,
okay? Because this person hasn't stepped out of
the fold of Islam he is still a
Muslim and he has disobedience with him
okay this is part of our religion to
hate
and free ourselves and likewise love for the
sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Number 16,
if someone asks you oh, sorry. I don't
know my this, the PDF's a bit behind.
Number 17,
If someone asks
you, how many pillars does Islam have?
Say Islam has 5 pillars.
The proof of this is the hadith of
Abdullah ibn Umar.
Sorry?
Okay. Yeah. Inshallah, just use the book. Okay.
Alright.
Okay.
Number 17,
when it is said to you, is the
religion of Islam complete
or is it in need of completion?
Say it is a religion that is complete.
And the proof is a statement of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
This day I have perfected for you your
religion,
and completed my favor upon you, and have
approved
for you Islam as a religion.
I'm gonna read number 18 as well because
these two questions are
relating to each other.
And when it is said to you from
where does the Muslim take his religion or
take his Deen?
Say the Muslim takes his Deen from the
Quran
and the Sunnah
upon the understanding
of the Righteous Predecessors
meaning the Sahaba
and the proof is the statement of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Is it not sufficient for them that we
have sent down to you the book which
is recited to them?
And the statement of Allah,
and if you're referring anything amongst yourselves,
refer to Allah and his messenger if you
believe in Allah in the last day.
And the statement
of
Allah,
Guide
us to the straight path, the path of
those upon whom you have bestowed your favor,
not of those who have earned your anger,
nor of those who who have gone astray.
In the statement of Allah,
And whoever opposes the messenger after the guidance
has become clear to him
and follows over the path of the believers,
we shall leave him to that which he
has undertaken
and enter him into *. What an evil
destination.
Okay.
The first question is the region of Islam
complete or is he in need of completion?
Okay.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has perfected our religion
and likewise completed it
and is absolutely perfect and he doesn't need
someone to come along now
and to add anything to the religion.
Allah has said in the Quran
we haven't neglected anything from the book
We haven't what? Neglected anything from the book.
We haven't left anything off.
To show you how complete
and how perfect
and how excellent this religion is.
Okay.
And the reason why this came down
this eye came
down I think maybe I've mentioned it before
as well
it came down on Yaman al Arafa.
Al Arafah, the name of Arafah and
there's a hadith in Bukhari
when a Jewish man came up to Umar,
he said: 'There's an eye in your book
that you not recite.'
had that been sent down upon us
the Jews
we would have taken that day as a
what? As a Eid,
as a Eid, as a day of celebration.
So we asked him what Ayah are you
talking about?
He said to him,
This Ayahu
Wa Ta'ala when he sent down completed the
religion.
Completed the religion.
So after him telling him that,
what did Umar al Khattabi said?
We knew that that that very day
that this ayah had come down
on this particular day of Yom al Arafa,
and there was no commands after this Ayah,
there was no commands after Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala had completed and perfected his Deen.
This wasn't
found in the previous
religions.
In the previous religions, this there was no
Ayah like this in their religion.
This is why the Jew
that came up to the to the Umar
wished that an Ayah like this had come
down upon them.
This is one of the differentiations between our
religion and their religion.
Our Deen is absolutely complete.
Whoever does an action or an innovation,
and he claims that this action is from
the religion,
then this person has claimed
that Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Khutani
has committed deception in the religion,
why? Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has completed
this religion
And no action
is going to make this religion better,
and no action is going to
make it
lesser.
And it doesn't need anyone to come along
today
and give us new things
because what we have is sufficient like Allah
says in the Quran
is it not sufficient for them that we
have sent down to you the book which
is recited to them?
It is sufficient for our way of life,
it is sufficient in our religion and it
covers every angle of the religion.
And likewise the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has
informed us of every type of Khair
and warned us of every type of
Shar,
evil
that we can be afflicted with or that
we can do.
There's a hadith which is very very important
and a person should try to memorize it
as well.
The prophet, he said,
There wasn't a prophet before me, except that
he informed his Ummah of every Iqayr that
he knew,
and warned them of every evil.
So these people that try to bring new
things to the religion,
okay,
or they believe that bringing something else will
make our religion better, Did the prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam forget?
Or was the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam deficient
in his tablil
in his conveyance of the message?
The answer is no,
the answer is no.
And number 18 clarifies to us
that where a person takes his religion from,
we don't take it from the Bible,
We don't take it from the library.
We don't take it from the
statements of the people.
Rather, in every issue, we have to go
back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's book and
his
messenger. Had the people done what's in number
18?
I do not think there would be any
Khilaf
between the Muslim this day.
Had only the people done what Allah
told them to do,
we find many people calling to different things,
some people they say this, some people that,
okay? And a lot of the time, you
find people they are defending something that is
falsehood not based upon any proof.
And the second I mentioned in number 18
clarifies to us what? That we have to
go back in any sort of dispute always
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
spoke, and likewise the messenger, salallahu alaihi wasalam.
Mujahi Salamat Absa of the Quran,
how do we go back to Allah?
Meaning we go back to his book. And
how do we go back to the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam? In his lifetime, we
go back to him, after his death we
go back to his sunnah
because we can't go to the prophet now.
Okay? Even though the ayah tells us what?
Go back to Allah and his messenger.
Rabo is intended like Mujahid, the sunnah ibn
Abbas
who used to explain the Quran
and took the tafsir directly from Ibn Abbas,
he said meaning go back to his Sunnah
because this is what we have regarding the
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam in this
like the prophet
The best generation
is my companions,
Then those that came after them and those
that came after them. They had the best
understanding
and they understood the religion,
how the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told them
to.
So their understanding is the best understanding,
and no one's understanding
is better than theirs.
So when we have an Ayah
or when we have any sort of issue,
a person might come with an Ayah,
and the other person might come back also
with an Ayah,
but the thing that will differentiate between who
is correct
is the understanding of what? The Sahaba.
I think I mentioned an example before as
well,
Some people they say regarding Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala statement.
Okay? Where Allah
curses
Abu Lahab.
Where did we get this from?
From the understanding
of the Sahaba.
Ibn
Abbas, like was mentioned in Bukhari,
after his surah came down, sorry before the
surah came down, when Abu Lahabi died,
he started saying,
perish
to you for the rest of the day.
Perish to Abu Jahl, meaning his kasina, for
the rest of the day.
So this Surah came down,
Abu Abu of Surah Al Lahab,
which talks about Abu Lahab being cursed, etcetera.
Some people they say regarding the Surah, what
do they say? It was sent down upon?
Umran and Abu Bakr. Who's Umran and Abu
Bakr? The best of the people after the
Prophet
So my point is even though this person
is using proof,
not every time a person uses proof is
gonna be correct.
Rather the thing that will differentiate between you
and this other person and using the proof
is what?
The understanding of the Sahaba.
The understanding of the Salaf,
who are the Sahaba.
And the 3rd Ayah that the Sheikh used
was
This Dua, a person reads it every day
in his prayer,
and without a person reading this dua
meaning a sort of Fatiha
and his aya
his salah is not accepted
Like the prophet
said,
No prayer for the one that doesn't read
the Surat Al Fatiha.
Okay so it's very very essential
and compulsory,
Rav is a pillar from the pillars of
the prayer that a person reads the sort
of Fatiha in every raka'ah,
otherwise the raka'ah is not valid.
And a person should contemplate upon the meaning,
contemplate
upon the meaning of Ihddinasirat
al Mustaqeem,
Daily you're asking Allah
to guide you.
We all have shortcomings,
we all have shortcomings,
and we all are misguided in some way,
okay, so a person should constantly trying to
ask Allah
to guide him in every aspect
of his religion,
every aspect of his religion. Contemplate upon the
Quran,
contemplate upon the Surat Al Fatiha. What does
the first ayah mean? What does this ayah
mean?
Okay and try to
have kushur in your salat
concentration
not try to think about other things while
you are praying we are only praying for
10 minutes
or sometimes 5 minutes
then 5 minutes a person should be very
very
cautious of what he's doing, he needs to
have concentration
for sure,
those that are praised in the Quran where
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
those
who have
Qushur in their prayer they are from those
who are successful.
Okay? And whoever opposes the messenger after the
guidance has become clear to him and follows
other than the path of the believers.
We shall
leave him to that which he has undertaken.
The reason why the sheikh mentioned here this
aya
is where Allah
says,
and whoever follows other than the path of
the believers.
We take our religion
from 3 places
the Quran, the Sunnah,
and the Ijma'a.
And the Ijma. Why is the Ijma? The
consensus
the consensus of the ulema.
For example now,
an issue
where all the ulama have agreed upon
that you have to do this. For example,
now a person to get married
to more
than 4 wives
is impermissible.
There's no Ayah saying that you can't get
more that you can you can't get married
to more than 4 women And likewise,
I do not know about hadith
rather there's an ijma and
agreement. A consensus
that a person cannot get married to more
than 4 wives.
So here, what Allah
says he follows other than the way of
the believers
after saying those that oppose the Prophet and
likewise follow
other than the way of the believers.
From the way of the believers is that
they do this particular action. They don't get
married to more than 4 wives.
Okay?
And whoever opposes the Ijma'a,
then he has what?
Contradicted
and he has sinned
because Allah
has told us to what? To follow this,
and likewise no buggiest it and oppose it.
And his punishment will be what? And
we will enter him into the hellfire, what
an evil destination.
This is a threat for those who oppose
the Quran, the sunnah,
and the agreement or the consensus
of the ulama.
Okay? There's a difference between an ijma'
and what a scholar says. A scholar might
say something and there could be another scholar
going against him in this issue. And likewise,
between a Sahaba
between a Sahaba, some Sahaba, they said this
is correct and some of the other Sahaba,
they said
otherwise.
Okay? This is not a consensus, this is
not an agreement.
I'll give you a good example,
the second Adan. The
second Adan
where Uthman radiAllahu anhu had done it in
his time.
But before that,
Abu Bakr didn't do it
and Umar didn't do it.
Okay?
And at the time of Uthman, Radiallahu Anhu
Abdullah ibn Umar said this is an innovation,
this is an innovation.
Do we say now that what Uthman did
is correct
or do we say it's incorrect?
Rather, we have to look at the issue.
Any sort of Khilaf that happened between a
Sahaba,
any sort of differences that took place between
a Sahaba, we have to take it back
upon
the closest toward the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam done.
Okay. Because the Sahaba, they strive.
The Sahaba, they strive.
Okay? And no one is free from mistake.
No one is free from mistake.
So when Abdullah ibn Umar said this is
an innovation, he he held the opinion that
this is not correct.
Okay? And we cannot say that this is
an agreement.
Had all the Sahaba come together and said
we are going to implement this,
and they would agree upon this issue, it
would be considered as an Ijma.
Okay?
This would be considered as an Ijma.
But because Abdullah ibn Umar said this is
not correct,
we cannot say that this is part of
the proofs or this is something that should
be done.
I hope you understand where I'm coming from
regarding this issue about each month.
Okay?
Okay? 2, 3, or 4. And whoever fears
and whoever fears that he can't be just,
then it's only upon him to get married
to 1.
There was a recently, I was reading an
article.
There's a man in Africa, and he was
all over the news as well. He got
married to more than
130.
He had I think 130
wives or something like this. Or was it
children? But basically, he got married to more
than 4 wives. This is Shaheed. The point.
Okay?
And he's coming out on the news saying,
tell me where he says in the Quran
that whoever gets married to 4 to more
than 4 wives, then his punishment is this.
He deceived a lot of people.
Okay? He deceived people start believing that you
can actually you know? Or rather, there's a
a consensus
that you cannot get married to more than
4. And this proof or this I in
the Quran here shows that you cannot go
against the way of the believers. Is it
from the way of the believer they get
married a full more than 4 ways?
Did any of the Sahaba do it?
Okay. They didn't do it.
No.
Some of the Sahaba had to let some
of their wives go. As for the prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he was married to 9
wives at once.
Okay? And this was specific for him. This
was specific for him. We understand from this
because after it, the Sahaba, they didn't
do this nor did the Khalifa do it
nor those that came after them,
And it's not from the way of the
believers.
Okay?
And the biggest thing that opposes this issue
of the
of following the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
is bid'ah.
Okay? Is this issue of bid'ah.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
every time he went on the mimbar, he
would what? Warn against the bid'ah,
warn against innovation.
He would say
until where he would say
And stay away from the
new invented matters,
meaning in your religion. And every newly invented
matter, every innovation is a misguidance.
Okay?
Ibnatayni al Rahmatullahi
said
that
the Bid'ah is more beloved to the shaitan
than Masiyyah.
Innovation is more beloved to the Shaitan than
Masiyyah, disobedience.
Why did he say this? Because the Bidha,
when a person is doing it, he thinks
he's getting closer to Allah.
Okay?
Because what? It seems like very very good
from what is apparent.
Imagine now I say today we're gonna
pray a 6th prayer.
For example,
we are going to pray a 6th prayer.
If you look at it, it seems very
good a person doing more Ibadah.
A person is what? Doing more Ibadah.
But we cannot do this. Why? Because the
prophet didn't
legislate it.
He didn't legislate it or he wasn't legislated
by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Even though on the apparent, it looks very
nice. A person is doing more Ibadah
and it won't count because it's not in
accordance to what Allah
said.
And when a person does something that looks
apparently good,
he carries on doing it. He doesn't know
he's doing wrong.
As for the Assi, the one that smokes
or or the one that commits zina he
knows
at some extent that he's doing bad
and he knows that he has to what?
Repent from this
As for the other one that's committing the
innovation, he won't ever stop
because he thinks he's getting closer to Allah.
That is why the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
said,
Allah has put a screen between the individual
that does Bid'ah
and Tawbah and Repentance
a screen. He puts a screen between this
person and the bida
until he leaves it off. Sorry, this person
and his Tawba, he put a screen between
them until he leaves off this action.
Imam Ahmed then commented on this issue and
said what?
A person will not be given tawfiq
to make tawba.
A person will not be given tawfiq. He
will not be given success
in order to make tawba.
Verily, because this person, why, he keeps doing
it, he thinks he's getting closer to Allah.
Okay? This is why this issue is so
so
important,
and a person needs to stay away from
it
instantly.
Because as soon as this person falls into
it, he will carry on doing it.
And it will be very very hard to
pull him away from this
action.
And innovation
is not when we talk about planes, a
plane is considered to be as an innovation,
okay, or a fork
or
a what's it called?
All these new electronic stuff
or a microphone.
Okay? There's no way it's intended here.
Even though these new things that's what some
of the people say, you have said innovation
is incorrect. What about the plane or the
train?
Are we gonna stop using it? Are we
gonna bring a camel, use it as a
car?
Because the car is an innovation.
No. That's not what the is intended here.
Because the prophet
said,
Whoever innovates something in our affairs
he never said in our affairs of the
dunya,
He never said this, rather he said in
our affairs, meaning the affairs of the religion.
Okay? Whoever innovates something in our affairs, then
he will have this unaccepted
for our rod. It will be rejected.
Okay? It will be rejected.
And also,
some of the issues
of the or the doubts that some of
the people they bring regarding this issue is
what? Doctor. Umar ibn Khattab one time he
said,
what an excellent innovation this
is when the people they started
to what to pray Taraweeh
after he was left off in the time
of Abu Bakr radiallahu an. But
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam done it
for a few days.
So when he saw them doing this affair
of Tarawih,
he came out and said, what an excellent
bidah this is.
If we look at it properly,
okay, if we look at it properly, this
was actually
Mujood. It was actually present in the time
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Rather, he means this linguistically.
He means this linguistically
and not something new that has been brought
to the religion.
I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
Okay? This was done in the time of
the prophet
but not done in the time of Abu
Bakr
but then he was brought back in the
time of Umar.
So he said what an excellent
bid adis is.
Okay?
In the language, it means something else. It
doesn't mean a newly invented matter. Rather, it
means something that was there, but it was
brought back.
Okay. The issue of innovation,
you find some people
who try to propagate it. For example, you
can do mauled or you can do this.
Okay? They try to say that there's some
bida
that is Hassan, that is good,
and some bid'ah that are bad.
Okay? And they use as proof the statement
of Umar ibn Khattab
First of all, the issue of was
started by the prophet
And then in the in Abu Bakr for
his time, he wasn't done.
Then he was brought back in the time
of Umar ibn Khattab
So when he saw the people doing his
Taraweeh,
he said,
what an excellent innovationist is.
From what we knew before, what does actually
bida mean?
It means anything that has been innovated
into our religion
from the angle of worshiping Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
Okay?
Here when Umar ibn Khattab said what excellent
bid ad this is.
Okay?
Did he mean this is something new?
Or did he mean that it was there
but it was brought back today?
He meant the first one because it was
done in the prophet's time.
Okay?
And also some of the other things that
people they say
is that beta is split into different categories.
Some of it is good, some of them
are gross, some of them
are bad, and some of them are good.
Rather,
we have the understanding of the Sahaba also
in this issue.
First of all, the prophet
every type of innovation is a
misguidance.
It's a misguidance, meaning in our religion.
And likewise, Abdullah ibn al
every innovation is a misguidance even if people
see it to be something good,
even if the people see it to be
good. What surprises me is that
we have how many thousands of hadith?
Sometime I don't think we'll be able to
to,
fill this wallop, the books of hadith there
are. There are.
Has a person gone through every single hadith
and acted upon some every single hadith
instead of him now going to other actions
and doing it.
Why isn't it that he suffices himself with
the hadith that he has then go to
other actions that there's so much Ikhtila or
so much differences
of the people around it?
If only every day it would suffice for
the rest of our lives to learn one
hadith, act upon it. Muslim Imam Ahmed,
there's more than 30,000 hadith in there. Bukhari,
it goes up to 7,000 hadith.
Muslims, 7,000.
Okay? Tell me the Ibn Maja Da'ud.
Abu Da'ud.
Okay? Nisayi.
Most hypnomeric.
How many hadith are there?
Rather you still find some people, they
run to what other acts which have absolutely
no basis in the religion.
Okay? Unlike Imam Uzzarai said
or Umrah ibn Abdul Aziz before him,
who was the 5th Khalifa
after
Ali
said?
Yeah. Zarashid. Sorry. Yeah. Zarashid.
Yeah. Yeah. So even when they when they
talk about the,
they say them 4 and also the Abdul
Aziz.
Okay. They seem to be the 5th
Rashid.
He said
Stop where the Qom, where the people they
stopped, meaning a Sahaba
and say what they said.
And whatever they refrain from, refrain from.
We have an excellent
example in the Sahaba. They've done many many
actions.
We tried to stop where they stopped,
and that's it.
Not every time putting taklifa upon ourselves, burdening
ourselves. Why why this taqifa?
That we try to go to other actions
which have absolutely no basis
and you find people saying that it's incorrect.
Okay
and we have so many other acts that
we haven't
even implemented
and likewise many way jibat there's how many
way jibat that we haven't done wrong, we're
gonna do other things.
Okay?
And Insha'Allah, I hope that's enough for today.
And please, Juan, do do a lot of
revision, try to memorize the proofs
down here
so it makes your plea
stronger than ever.
Okay.
I think that's enough, Inshallah, for today.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah. InshaAllah. If anyone has any question regarding
what we took today,
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
The robber asked
some people they claim,
they try to say against some people that
won against Bida.
What did you say they tried to?
Bid'ah. Okay. You are so harsh against Bid'ah.
So is there anything from the Sahaba that
they showed absolute enmity towards this issue?
First of all, the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
talked about Bid'ah,
and he used to do this when he
does his sermons.
And it's very well known in the Arabic
language
that when you keep repeating something, it shows
emphasis and likewise importance.
When the prophet kept on repeating
in his Khutba's
and you find also in Khutba's Al Hajjah,
okay, while the prophet
is warning against Bidah
warning against Bidah,
And likewise, the prophet
warned his people. He said,
Those people before you have been destroyed
because of their many questions they used to
ask, and likewise, them opposing the prophets or
their prophets.
And he warned them about this,
okay,
opposing the prophets. And likewise the Sahaba,
there's a very
well known story that happened
after the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's time.
There were some people in the Masjid
they were counting the tasbih
and also the tahleel
and the tahmid and there were stones
Okay. The tasmir,
subhanahu, subhanahu, subhanahu, subhanahu, subhanahu, subhanahu, subhanahu, subhanahu,
subhanahu, subhanahu, subhanahu,
subhanahu,
Yeah.
Tasbeeh.
Yeah. So
they will be sitting and, they'll be doing
Tasbeeh like they will say
say subhanallah
a hundred times,
and alhamdulillah
a hundred times, things like that. Okay?
And they would be counting it using the
stones.
They would be counting it using the stones,
and one time one of the sahabis, I
think it was
Abu Musal Ashari that's correct. Abu Musal Ashari
looked and saw them doing these actions
but he didn't say nothing. So he went
back to Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
to inform him about this issue and when
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud saw them and spoke to
them, what did he say to them? He
goes the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has
only passed away recently.
His clothes are still intact
and
his pot that he used to do is
still here.
Okay? And they said,
you Babad Ar Rahman, we didn't
intend except kher
we didn't intend except kher
and the moral of the story that because
of they done some little thing
it led them to be from the Hawarij
on the day of Nairawan
This is what a little bita led them
to.
And Abdullah ibn Mas'ud at that time got
very very angry like was mentioned in the
author.
You could have asked some of your the
companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
which are still with you.
He's disapproving of the action,
and you have many of the Sahaba still
there at that time.
Okay? So this little bit, I led them
to be from what?
The Hawarij
on the day of Narawan.
Okay? So we have the Sahaba likewise showing
immunity to this issue
which is the Bida
and likewise those that came after them
we have strong survey statements from the Sahaba
informing us to stay away from the people
that do bidda.
Like Ibn Abbashi said,
do not sit with the people of innovation,
for in this sitting with them will put
a sickness in your heart. It's a sickness
to the heart.
Because why when a person keeps telling you
doubts after doubts and you cannot differentiate between
what is haqq, what is from the Sunnah
because of lack of knowledge, what will happen
to you? You will turn upside down.
After knowing something from the Quran and the
Sunnah and now things are being turned inside
out,
upside down. And likewise, the prophet
won against them. He won against the Khawarij.
Okay? He said
they're from the dogs of the * fire.
Okay.
Unlike with the Qadariya, he said they're the
medusa of this ummah.
And if they become sick,
do not go and visit
them. That's what he said.
And also another example,
why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned
And if you find those that follow the
similarities or the Mutisha'a behat of the Quran,
meaning those of innovation, the people of innovation,
then those are the people that Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala has warned against them.
So this warning about the people of innovation
showing enmity towards them was found in the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's time
and also the Sahaba.
Okay.
Okay.
First of all, obviously, you have to try
and advise the people.
Okay? Not everyone is born upon
following the sunnah.
Okay? People have had different pasts or they've
been nurtured
to do different things.
First of all, when we try to give
dawah to a person, we're very very soft
and likewise have to give them time.
But obviously, clearly,
when a person is being mohanid,
stubborn,
and he's showing arrogance and he's not accepting,
okay, then what all you can do is
leave this person off.
Leave this person that doesn't wanna accept off,
okay, it's in a better of a Maslaha
now if you was to go
and start warning against him
start warning against him openly, an individual that
has absolutely no effect on any dua
or has absolutely no foothold
in, establishing any form of dua then you'd
find that it could lead to a bigger
mushkilah especially in the place that we are
now you gonna find a kufaleh saying look
the Muslims they're fighting
or they're fighting against each other or they're
warning against each other. Okay? It is better
to leave this person off at the very
moment
and all you can do is ask the
scholars about him and they will
establish a fatwa regarding this person,
okay,
Inshallah.
Sorry. Go back to who?
Go back to your prophet. You know? Some
says.
Okay. Go in like in the eye when
Allah
says go back to your Lord.
Yeah. But when you tell them Yeah. They
make the wazoo.
Or they go to his,
grave and The grave. Okay. Ask for him.
Okay. They try to ask for him. Okay.
First of all like in every issue we
have to take it back
to how Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
said in his book or whatever Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala said in his book. Likewise, the
messenger and the action of the Sahaba.
Who from the Sahaba done this?
Doing this sort of tasul.
Okay?
Going through the prophet
we're trying to seek a means through him,
etcetera.
Okay?
What we have from the proofs of tawasul
is 3 things.
Making Tawasul through the names and attributes of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The second thing
is when we
seek amis through the righteous person, and it's
gonna come in the book as well.
Like, for example, you ask a righteous person
to make dua for you, this is a
means of tawasul
because they've done this at the time
of the, the time of the Sahaba when
they ask Abbas. They ask Abbas to make
dua for them or to make a shikah.
Okay? To seek the rain,
to make dua for
Allah to bring down the rain. And the
third one is to make
dua through your righteous actions.
The 3 people that were stuck in the
cave, we all know the story.
When the cave was stuck, they started making
tawasaw for their actions.
Okay? And asking Allah
to take away this problem that they were
in. As for a 4th one to seek
means for the prophet
to make tawasul for him, and this is
not, something that is not known of, and
we don't have any proof
regarding this. Okay?
As for the Ayada, say you have to
go back to the prophet, which means obviously
go back to the sunnah like Mujahid
from the students of Ibn Abbas,
he said. But Yeah. When they take the
fsee if Mhmm. That what I'm gonna say,
that doesn't mean that. Okay.
But
yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Inshallah, the more we get into
the book, this issue is coming up as
well. We'll try to explain a bit more
and better as well. As for the tafsir,
the tafsir,
like is mentioned in the also the tafsir.
Okay? The Quran is explained with 4 things.
Okay. The first thing
the first thing, you explain the Quran with
Quran.
The second thing, you explain the Quran with
Hadith.
Okay. Allah says in the Quran.
We have sent down the the remembrance upon
you. The dikr,
so that you can clarify to the people.
The third thing is the understanding of the
Sahaba.
Okay? You find a lot of statements in
the Abbas regarding many ayaats.
He's the one that Allah subhan the prophet
made dua for him many many times so
that Allah can give him an understanding in
the
Quran.
Okay. Then the 4th thing
is
Tafsir Tabi'in
those that took the Quran from
the Sahaba
like Mujahid, who is Mujahid? If you go
back to Tafsir Nakathir, Tafsir Tabari, he he
was from the students of Ibn Abbas,
he was being taught by Ibn Abbas,
Ibn Abbas will stop him at every Ayah
and ask him for the tafsir twice.
This is Mujahid.
At every aya he would ask him about
every tafsir of every aya twice.
Okay
and sorry the 5th thing as well is
tafsir al Quran will look at
from the angle of that language
but obviously that's like the 5th step if
we don't have like a clear Ayat explaining
the Ayat or we don't have a hadith
explaining the
Ayat. Okay? This is like basically the foundation,
the fundamentals are set
in how to
get a tafsir from the Quran. As for
me coming along saying anything I want from
the Quran,
then this is very dangerous. Okay? Like I
mentioned last week as all the other
said, whoever
explains the Quran with his opinion, the land
book is sit in the hellfire.
Okay? So we shouldn't be trying to explain
the Quran or the tafsirah from our
own opinions,
our own understanding.
This is not
something
that goes back to the book of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Okay?
Any more questions regarding the lesson?
