Now I'm going to read InshaAllah Ta'ala

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

how someone is Salif they were

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

when it comes to

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

or when it came to the month of

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

Ramadan. See how I mentioned in the beginning,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

brothers and sisters, we're trying to be

00:00:27 --> 00:00:27

like companions,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

the tabi'ayn, the tabi'ayn,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

tabi'ayn. In everything that we try to do.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

It's all good saying that we follow the

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

Quran and the sunnah

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

but what is very very important also to

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

restrict it with the understanding of the Salaf.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

With the understanding

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

of the Salaf.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

I can't bring my understanding, or my Sheikh's

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

understanding,

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

or another person's understanding.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

The Sheikh, that person who went out and

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

he studied the religion, he's only here to

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

do what?

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

To connect you

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

to what the Prophet

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

mentions upon the understanding of the Sahaba.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

In the Ramadan, how did they adorn themselves?

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

Because the moment I start giving you my

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

understanding

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

or someone else's understanding,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:13

it could be the reason why I become

00:01:13 --> 00:01:13

a lunatic.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

And I'll give you an example, and I'm

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

going to be very straight up about it.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

Recent not recently, a couple of years ago,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

a family member of mine,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

she came out in Facebook and she said,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

and she's saying this on a world wide

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

web, social media,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:38

sunnah,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

it could be the reason why you

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

really

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

destroy your religion.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

She came out on Facebook, it was a

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

sister, sister, not even a guy with a

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

sister.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

She's promoting on Facebook that it's okay

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

to go and blow yourself up.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

And obviously this hurt, that time I was

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

still in Yemen, I was trying to, you

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

know, learn the religion of Allah and because

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

I know this sister,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

it's really, you know, it hurts.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

I'm asking you, I'm like commenting,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

okay where did you get this from? What

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

did you do? How did you come to

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

this conclusion? She's saying that Anwar al Awlaki

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

told her this. May Allah have mercy upon

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16

him. You know, everyone has these mistakes, and

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16

we ask Allah to forgive everyone who falls

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16

into mistakes. And we ask Allah to forgive

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16

everyone who falls into mistakes. And we ask

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

Allah to forgive

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

and we ask Allah to forgive everyone who

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

falls into mistakes

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

because He gave her the understanding.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

And then when you look at the textual

00:02:31 --> 00:02:31

evidence, the way it was interpreted,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

He He was an individual who used to

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

bring the Quran and the Sunnah

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

in many of that which he used to

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

say but then there was that 10%.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

It could be the reason why a person,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

he goes and he blows himself up.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

Wallahi know many people that were affected through

00:02:53 --> 00:02:53

this.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

The reason why I'm mentioning this, I'm not

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

trying to have a dig at him, but

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00

to mention to you that because of the

00:03:00 --> 00:03:00

understanding

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

of certain texts,

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

it could either make or break a person.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

There was this brother

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

and asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to and

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

I'm going to mention this because it would

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

really hurt me to see some of these

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15

young kids here,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

to go do something crazy like that.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

I used to come to Nottingham quite some

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

time.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

Some of you that might know this,

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

and just so you are wary

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

and you don't fall into this.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

There was a brother who used to come

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

to my lesson, I used to come to

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

Nottingham, there's this Masjid on top of a

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

shop, I think it's called Masjid Sahaba,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

and I taught a whole book there called

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

Al Mubadhi Al Mufida.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

There was a brother who used to record

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

the lessons,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

he was a brother who used to record

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

the lessons

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

and now you find his name

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

all over the newspaper.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

Nasih was from here, from Nottingham

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

And I think it's relevant that I mentioned

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

it because the chapter is called what? It's

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

called Rayyan. And this brother was called Rayyan

00:03:59 --> 00:03:59

as well.

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03

So he's shaydum bil kalam, the point is

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

this brother used

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

to record the lessons and he was very

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

close, it was from the students that used

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

to sit here, right in the front.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

He was also

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

the brother who

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

recorded

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

when I had the reminder speaking about suicide

00:04:18 --> 00:04:18

bombing.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

The suicide bombing, it goes against our religion,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

there are so many narrations from the Sunnah.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

he's going to be punished with it on

00:04:31 --> 00:04:31

Yomatayama.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

He uploaded this online.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

What happened was

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

the lessons were stopped because of some brothers

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

who were very, very rough and tough. Some

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

of our brothers who used to study with

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

me from the Majh,

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

the people who used to attend the lessons,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

they were brothers who were on the fringes

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

of their religion, some of them newly reverted.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

And because of how some of these people

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

they thought, which was very narrow minded, they

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

stopped the lesson for whatever reason, don't wanna

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

go into that. What happened to his brother,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:05

he started being exposed to doubts.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

He started being exposed to doubts

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

and now SubhanAllah that very brother who used

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

to come very close to me

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

and write down the lessons

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

and was from those who was uploading it

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

onto the internet I knew the issues. Anybody

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

who studies me will realize

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

that I'm totally against extremism when it comes

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

to, you know, killing an innocent soul, suicide

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

bombing, making a bomb and all sorts.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

And then I don't know what happened to

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

the brother,

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

he was imprisoned

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

for making or he wanted to go and

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

do something like that.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

Can you see now the understanding

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

when you start being exposed to doubts, how

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

that could change the understanding you have of

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

certain texts.

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

Wallahi I will be reading her. Some of

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

these young kids that are sitting here for

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

me to find out tomorrow, oh this is

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

the brother who used to come to your

00:05:57 --> 00:05:57

lesson,

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

I will send the article of why they

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

were in Isma'Deen and it really hurt me.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

Someone you've been teaching. One of the,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

most beloved things to a teacher is that

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

if his students are benefiting,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

and I felt this about the brother, but

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

then when he becomes
