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