AI: Transcript ©
There is nothing more precious
and important in the dawheed of Allah
It is a foundation, brothers and sisters,
that our very existence
is built on.
When I decided to
speak about
witchcraft
and its contemporary forms and types. And
likewise, Sheikh
in its contemporary forms and types,
that which I have in mind without a
shadow of a doubt, my brothers and my
sisters, is the Tawhid of an individual.
Like I said,
it is the most precious
and most important thing that an individual possesses.
And these two aspects that I just mentioned,
a seher
and also a shirk,
is that which is going to destroy that
which is most precious to you.
Muhammad,
and also what? Witchcraft, Sehir, Majeemah.
These 2 brothers and sisters
will leave you
outside the fold of Islam.
If one
engages or practices
Ashirkuh Bilhayyah
and likewise magic, witchcraft,
espouse
that are so common,
especially
in places like Bradford.
It will either
cause your tawheed to diminish,
or it will cancel it altogether.
Allah
tells in Muhammad,
If an individual, my brothers and my sisters,
impregnates
his own Allah,
and then eventually ends up killing him,
And even after killing her,
he hides her body
which no one comes to know about.
This type of sin, brothers and sisters, will
be considered?
An act that takes your hold of Islam
or a major sin?
It would be considered a major sin. And
the fact that we're saying it's a major
sin, we shouldn't think it's only a major
sin.
A major sin is not a life matter,
brothers and sisters.
When a sister that we know becomes impregnated
outside of wedlock, it's a big deal.
Everyone speaking about it on the street. Right?
It's a huge thing in the community.
That good girl that grew up,
right? Wearing the hijab going to madrasa,
SubhanAllah.
She got impregnated by Mark.
It's a big deal. Everyone's speaking about it.
May Allah protect our daughters,
our sisters, and our wives
from that.
Yes, even our wives.
There are cases that reach us from time
to time.
If one brothers and sisters dies upon that
which I just mentioned,
And he had his Tawhid, he did not
ever commit shirk.
What is a shirk?
It is the associate partners of Allah
When you carry out an act of worship,
it should only be for who?
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Your salah, you wouldn't pray to somebody in
the grave, right? Or you wouldn't pray to
Nuh or Jesus
Alaymus Salat wa Salam or even the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
If I did that everybody would come up
to me and say listen this is shirk
billahi, you shouldn't do so. You should stay
away from it and refrain from it.
Right?
Because this will what destroy you to hate.
So to take an act of worship
and to then attribute it to other than
Allah
or
to ascribe it to other than Allah this
would take you at the foot of Risam.
Barbaric,
bloodthirsty individual like the one who killed a
100. So most of you guys are all
acquainted with the hadith, he killed a 100.
He was committing the worst of the sins,
right? He died upon that.
When did Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala admit him
into?
Ajinn, right? That's the very famous, well known
story.
Anyone else now that dies upon that impregnated
his own mother. Right? And then ended up
killing her and the and and the child
inside of the stomach.
And then bury her in a place that
nobody knows
where.
Is to heed the of Ahlus Sunnah to
Ajamah, the belief of Ahlus Sunnah is that
he's under the will of Allah.
He's under the will of Allah. Allah may
choose to forgive him
or he may choose to punish him.
Does that make sense?
And if Allah chooses to punish him, sooner
or later he will come out of the
hellfire
because of that verse in the Quran.
And so many of the other hadith
that have been authentically reported.
Someone may say, oh, Allah, I'll just go
into the hellfire, enjoy my life now, go
into the hellfire for a little bit and
I'll come out as long as I have
it to a hit.
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wasalam told us that the
fire that you kindle with in this dunya
is 1 70th of the fire in the
hereafter.
We're struggling under the British hot weather.
40 degrees.
We can't bear it. We're struggling.
Right?
We're having a hard time dealing with it.
You think you're going to be able to
burn the fire of the hereafter?
170. Do you know the fire here that
you get burned by from time to time?
And then you need to use Vaseline for
the whole week.
It's
170th brothers and sisters.
So anyways,
that's pertaining to a major sin.
One may be Qawwab Un Filayl
Sawam Finaha.
He stands up every night praying to Allah
azza wa jal, engaging in the night prayer
which is the way of the righteous as
the messenger salaahu alayhi wasalam told us.
Upon you used to pray at night, indeed
this is the way of the righteous before
you.
Right? Every night he prays and then every
day brothers and sisters you see him fasting.
However, just one time, one time
he decided to
invoke the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
I spent approximately 6 years in the Medina.
Just about every time when I go past
the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam's grave, you see
somebody standing there like that.
You see somebody standing there like that,
saying all sorts of things. Because I don't
understand Urdu, mainly from the Asian community.
I would ask if I was with an
Urdu speaking brother, what is he saying?
And he would drop his head. Man's calling
onto the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Right?
But he prayed
every single night
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
A prayer
that is very, very difficult to wake up
for.
Right? And then he would fast throughout the
day and he did that once.
He's never ever coming out of the hellfire,
and that is because
he has partaken in the act of shirk.
Right?
If he dies upon that, dies upon that.
This is a very important restriction.
Allah says he does not forgive a shirk,
meaning he dies upon it. However, he repents
from it.
Before that,
and before he departs from this world, Allah
is Allah
will forgive him Just
like somebody who embraces Al Islam.
Right? He embraced Al Islam and he was
carrying out all types of shirk, calling on
to Jesus and whatever have you.
Alright? This is just in a nutshell, brothers
and sisters. A Tawhid and a shikh. So
you have these major sins which are very
serious,
which blows people's minds
when something like that takes place in a
community. And then you have that what? It's
referred to as major shikh, a major kufr.
Okay. And then you have something in between
brothers and sisters.
A type of sin that is in between
that who can tell me what that is?
Between
major shirk and also what? Minor.
And major sins. What's in between? Minor shirk.
Exactly.
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said,
That which I fear the most for you
is the minor shirk.
Messenger salallahu alayhi wa sama was asked, what
is the mind shirk? He said, Aliyah, showing
off. Showing off with your football skills?
A bit like me, I used to show
off my skills all the time. I was
a superstar back in the day. I even
had trouser West Ham.
So me showing off my football skills, is
that mine to shrink or my basketball skills?
Okay. All of you guys have run for
your money.
What are we referring to? Showing off in
what brothers?
In your acts of worship.
The scholars, they differed.
The minor shirkia that the messenger sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam spoke about, showing off in your
acts of worship.
Does he have the same rulings as the
major sins or does he have the same
ruling as the major shirk?
Wallahi has different opinion among scholars. Imagine now.
Some say, if he dies
after having showed off
in his prayer, he died straight after,
and he was showing off in act of
worship.
It's like committing major shift. If he dies
and he never repented from that, he's never
coming out of hellfire.
And some said,
the same rulings pertaining to major sins apply
here, meaning it's under the will of Allah.
Allah may choose to punish him for it,
Allah may choose to forgive him. And if
Allah chooses to punish him for that act,
sooner or later he will come out of
the hellfire.
Does that make sense, brothers and sisters?
Minor
shirk is not a light matter or minor
kufr is not a light matter.
If we become flabbergasted
at a woman becoming impregnated by a kaifa
guy in the community, everyone starts speaking about
it.
It should shock us even more when we
hear about
someone having fallen into minor shirk or even
worse than that, major shirk.
May Allah protect us from that.
Right?
So, our discussion brothers, as I mentioned right
at the beginning,
is contemporary.
Shirkki
and magic acts
that are very
common in today's day and age.
And I have a whole list of
points,
I'm in charge of teaching Kitab to hate.
Depending on how it's taught, it could seem
like
that this kitab, this book is out of
touch with reality.
However, me coming from a background
where I myself visited a magician, if you
guys want, Insha'Allah, I'll tell you guys about
it.
People love stories, especially magical ones. That's why
Harry Potter became so.
Yeah. They're so very well
received.
And also doing a lot of grave worshiping
acts.
It comes from a place
Deep Undawallahu. When I teach it, due to
what I, who is no different to you
guys, we all grew up in the UK.
I was involved in a lot of
crime activity when I was in London,
and then I moved to Yemen in order
to seek knowledge.
And when I went to seek knowledge thinking
that Allah saved me, I found myself
doing acts.
That I can only thank Allah for
having guided me away from that.
I, I brothers and sisters
Used to pray in front of graves.
I prayed in the so
or should I say, the supposed
Abar,
grave of Hud who's
supposedly buried in Hadramaut Yemen.
And every year
over there they would go out
and reside around the grave
for some time.
I myself prayed in front of it. You
know, you go into the Masjid, you pray
to hate a Masjid, right? You pray 2
rakaat
as a greeting.
We would go there and start praying in
front of it and everyone was just standing
around it or facing towards it praying.
The first act that I want to mention,
my beloved brothers and sisters, and I have
a whole load of acts,
especially
the magic related issues I want to get
on today, InshaAllahu ta'ala,
is swearing on your mother's life, or on
your father's life, or on your children's life.
I'll be the first to admit brothers and
sisters that as kids growing up,
If you say to that individual, say,
they'll say,
and it's
So say so much so that the name
of Allah
lost its worth.
That when you say,
nobody believes anymore.
Even the kafirs,
the kuffar,
in music tracks, they start saying now.
In music tracks, they start saying Wallahi.
Because of it being so common
amongst the people,
especially among Samadis. I don't see any Samadis
here.
Very, very common.
I come from that community.
They're in Lestat. And I go on about
it all the time.
Nobody believes you when you say,
You say, I swear on my
dead man's grave. I swear on my children's
life. Just the other day when I was
solving some marriage related issues between a relative
of mine and his wife,
you know one of the things that she
mentioned was?
Whenever I catch him out he starts swearing
on his children's lives.
Swearing by Abadan Allah
falls under which category? We spoke about 3
categories of sins. Which category will they fall
into?
Major shirk, minor shirk or?
Major sins?
It varies between minor shirk and also major.
Depending on
how that individual
is taking it off.
But at least we could say is what?
Minor ship, which is so so dangerous. What's
my evidence for it? Cause none of you
guys should take anything from me unless I
mention evidence.
Whoever swears by Abadan Allah, he has committed
shirk.
I never said that your Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam said that over 1400 years ago.
How desensitized
we've become to someone not swearing Babadanullah
I went to
Egypt, right? Sometimes a child comes running towards
you saying, please give me some money. Right?
What does mean?
He's now swearing by Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
It is very very common and moist
on the tongues of
the Egyptians, especially. 1 Nadi.
Right? I remember one time I made a
video,
many many years
ago. Some brothers that started * got upset.
Apparently, they wanna put me into a mirror.
Right?
Taima, sit down with the brother, and you
can see he's become so furious. Why has
he become so furious?
He says, that video that you've done, and
I think somebody sent it to him.
Because he used to swear by Allah, swear
by Abhin Allah
So how can you say that this is
worse than
sleeping with your mother,
right? Impregnating her and then end you end
up taking a life
and he talked about my innocence and made
sense. I was like, what do you mean?
Abdullah ibn Surud will
say
will
say
that I swear by Allah while lying
is more beloved to me
than me swearing
by other than Allah
when speaking the truth.
Right?
Look how they looked at it.
Look how they looked at it brothers and
sisters.
So Abdullah ibn Sirud,
who looked at it with them limbs,
he's looking at it with that particular lens.
So this is the first thing, brothers and
sisters, that is very very common that I
wanted to really touch on, and we really
have to make tawba from that. And if
we become used to it, we have to
what? Really cleanse our tongues from this very
dangerous statement.
Many people think that Shirk is only what
if you go to
a grave and you prostrate towards it, or
you prostrate to it.
The next point that I want to mention,
my brothers and my sisters,
is
that which relates to Talismans.
The issue of Talismans
overlaps with
magic related issues, but we'll quickly make a
mention of it now, InshaAllah Ta'ala.
Put your hand up if you've come across
a Ta'weez, that you've actually seen a Ta'weez,
as most people.
Has anyone here ever opened the Taweez?
Taib, we want to honestly ask you guys
to tell me what's the side of these
tawis is at Fada.
Commands.
Fuddahalaalik.
Have you seen them with your own eyes?
Because I was exactly about to mention them
and maybe because I mentioned it. People think,
oh, this guy has a particular agenda
that Wahaibi.
Somebody in the Quran who himself has opened
up a Ta'weez and found within it the
names of Qarun and Haman
and Firawnan.
I personally witnessed,
guys know Abu Lahab and Abu Jahm,
their names and the ta'weez. And that person,
I'm telling, please open it up. He say,
no, I shouldn't. It's got the names of
Allah and Quran or Madriyash.
He opens it up
What does he find?
The names of all of these devils.
These satanic
symbols.
Right?
So, you my brothers and my sisters,
if you don't believe me, go and check
yourselves.
Do your own research, check it out and
see what you find.
And we have to be brothers and sisters
very soft and gentle with our brothers and
sisters
who might be uneducated. Right?
Can't be rough and tough. Yes. We know
there's a generation that you should cut it
off.
But it might be better to take a
very different approach,
especially in today's day and age,
when there are so many doubts
that are being so easily embraced.
Before I move on to the next one,
brothers and sisters, I want you all to
understand something. And, that is
Jin possession.
Jinn possession. Being possessed by the jinn
is more likely when you give service to
the shaytan.
How do you give service to the shaytan?
Allah
clearly and explicitly tells us this in Surat
Al Nahl.
I want us to take away this principle.
Right? At least you have an idea as
to why an individual might become possessed by
the Jil.
He,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentions,
The shaitan only has authority over who?
Those who befriend him. How do you befriend
the shaitan?
By doing that which pleases him.
What pleases him?
Major shirk, minor shirk, and the major sins
that an individual
may find
himself
carrying out.
I'll give you guys another evidence.
Umar ibn Khattab How
close was the shaytan to him?
How close was the shaytan to Ummat Khattab
Now, Shaitan will run away from him. Why?
Because, I mean, Raman Al Khattab radiAllahu ta'ala
Anhu
used to be laxed
with
sins and
that which displeases Allah
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
about him,
By Allah, shaitan is scared of me.
Never does the shaitan take a particular path
except?
Sorry, never does Umran Khattab radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu
take a particular road
or a pathway except the Shaitan will take
another.
That is because his iman was sky high.
He was a person of ta'ah,
obedience,
worship,
fulfilling the commandments of Allah azza wa jal.
Does that make sense?
And because of that, the shaitan used to
be terrified of him.
The scholars they took from that, the more
one carries out acts of obedience, the more
his Iman is intact,
the further away the Shaitan will be from
that individual. But, yeah, very common question is,
as soon as I started practicing,
the Jin began to react within me.
Ma'ra Yekom.
Doesn't this just go against what I just
mentioned? He just started practicing the Shaitan should
be what?
Far away from him.
Why is it only now that the Shaitan
start reacting?
The shaitan tends to possess you when, brothers
and sisters?
When you're gambling,
right? When you're maybe drinking,
especially when you do drugs.
The chances of you becoming possessed by the
Shaytaan is very likely.
When a woman,
right?
Takes off hijab and does all sorts of
things.
What is the likelihood that the Shaitan will
go and attack her? Very likely.
We already know as the Messenger Salaam alaihi
wasallam said, when a woman leaves the house,
what does the shaytan do?
He will beautify her in the eyes of
men.
The more sins she carries
out, the more likely she
is to be possessed.
And the scholars,
they conclude that
women tend to be possessed more than men.
Why is that?
When they are off
the salawat and the siyam, they're on their
benches, they're not praying. Right?
So they're already, as women, they're very vulnerable,
even more vulnerable now.
Right? Even more vulnerable in this part particular
case
when she's not praying and she's not doing
acts of worship.
Does that make sense?
And even more so if she's now carrying
out sins,
or that which displeases Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Right?
She can be so much more easily
be victimized
by the Shaytan.
Does that make sense? So, this tiered, brothers
and sisters.
Allah tells us those who befriend the Shaitan,
he only has authority over them.
Right? And those who commit acts of shirk.
Those who commit acts of shirk,
the shaitan will have authority over them.
Controlling them.
Using them.
Right?
Look what Allah then says straight after that.
It was actually the verse before that.
The shaitan does not have authority over those.
Right?
The Shaivan does not have authority over those
who believe,
and those who put their trust in Allah
I forgot to mention SubhanAllah.
I asked you guys a question. I think
I just jumped and digressed.
Right? Why isn't that shaitan only starts reacting
the moment you start practicing?
He possessed you at a time when you
were practicing
and it's settled there.
Why does he need to react?
When you're committing all sorts of sins and
you're engaged in filth and evil,
but the moment now you started practicing, you
started spending more time in the house of
Allah
you started doing acts of worship that pleases
the almighty,
began to what? Feel extremely
irritated within.
That's your answer.
For why it all of a sudden started
what? Reacting.
And there are countless scenarios that I could
give you, brothers and sisters.
There was this relative that I was reading,
Rokayan, right?
Of course, when you read Rokayan, relative, that
person is not your Mahram, there has to
be someone else there.
Right. There's a third person.
Red flag. If they're and there are many.
If
they're
and
they're
upon
the
sharia.
Rather they are many of them
who want to take advantage of women.
A huge red flag is if Tarakih says
come alone, my sisters.
His red flag.
This goes against what the messian sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam advised.
Never does a man seclude himself with a
woman except in the 30s?
Shaitan. Big red flag.
Be extra careful even you as a husband
or as a wadi, as a guardian.
When somebody is saying, listen, I'm going to
I don't care how long his beard is.
Right?
Or how long his throat is, even if
he's wearing green. Love us.
I think today when I walked in Tel
Nambar, you guys thought that
the Masib will take over,
Does everybody get that?
I don't care how righteous that individual thinks
he is or looks.
The fact that he asked to be alone
with your wife or your sister or anyone
else from your female relatives.
This
big red flag, alarm bell should be going
off.
Does that make
sense?
We hear statements such as what life has
given me.
We hear these statements
quite often?
What life has given me.
Who is it that provides and sustains you?
Allah
Right? We have 3 categories of Tawhid, right?
Which has been extrapolated from the Quran.
By the way, he wasn't he was having
that came up with these 3 categories.
There were people much before him, like Abu
Jairib,
Muhammadullah alaihi, the famous professor
who died 100 of years before
Sheikh Mohammed
Tayeb.
To hate in your
is what? Lordship.
The fact that Allah is the only Sustainer,
He is the Disposable Affairs, and He is
the Razaq, He is the one that provides
for you, and gives and grants.
This is exclusive to Allah, right?
Everyone else is just a means.
My boss is just a means and even
then he's being provided for.
Right? He's just a means.
And at the end of the day, it
is Allah provides and sustains
and grants and gives and takes away and
so on and so forth.
So when somebody now says
what life has given me,
he might now be attributing
to other than Allah which is what? Exclusive
to him. If you now say that other
than Allah is a razzaf, is a provider.
The ultimate provider and sustain and dispose of
all of his.
What have you not committed?
Even
the they never said that.
Allah tells us in the Quran,
They report on Allah. You ask them who
created the heavens and earth?
They will say Allah. Who's the disposable of
all of it? Allah. Who's to provide? Allah.
They believe that. It's in the Quran brothers
and sisters.
Their shirk was in someone else, placing intermediaries
between themselves and Allah. That was the shirk
they fell into.
What were these intermediaries?
These idols that they had.
And in today's day and age, people have
what? Righteous
individuals who have passed away.
That they have placed as intermediaries between themselves
and
Allahu jala fee abla. Going back to the
point that I was making.
Saying what life has given me.
Life hasn't given me anything.
It's Allah
And these statements that we utter with our
tongues, brothers and sisters,
because it's unintended,
it would fall under what? Minor shirk.
Shirku Al Al Thad.
The Shirki statement that slips off our tongues
that one needs to what?
Clean
his tongue from and his language from.
Does that make sense? However, if you didn't
mean it, then it's even more dangerous.
You're asking
to fall under that first category.
It was something that I've written down, I
forgot to mention.
You know, in the COVID period,
while I witnessed my own eyes,
a tawi is being sold for £279.
I believe it was either on eBay or
Amazon.
I remember taking a screenshot of it and
putting it on Twitter.
This and in description it has something like,
this Taweez will help you get through it
and the pandemic in Madriyesh.
People are actually buying it.
Who remembers what happened
right at the end of 2021?
On Twitter.
It's the last day before 2,022
kicks in. What were the people posting on
Twitter? Does anyone
remember?
World War 3. No. That's just now.
Happy new year.
Happy new year, not before happy new year.
Freedom that you're so much
frustrated. Like, what were they referring to or
what were they saying about the year that
just passed?
How bad the year was before? How bad
the year was, they were insulting it.
F in this, f in that.
Insulting this year that just went by
and speaking ill about
this Covid that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sent,
alayhis salarikh, all over Twitter.
Very, very widespread.
And prevalent.
What's the problem with this? Is there really
a problem with this?
Let me ask you a question. The time
and that which happens within the time.
Who is that controlled by?
What did a messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam say
about not insulting the wind,
and not insulting the time? He said,
don't insult the wind. Also, the messenger
said,
don't insult the time.
Why is that brothers and sisters?
Who is it controlled by? Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Muslim salallahu said about the
It has been instructed, it has been commanded.
By who? By not Abdul Allah If
you now
constructed a building,
right, and I walk past and start insulting
the building, am I insulting the building or
insulting the builder?
I mean, the the building is going to
respond back to me and feel sad, like,
why why are you
insulting me?
Who in essence am actually insulting?
None other than Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And a lot of the time we don't
actually mean it.
If we did mean it, that would even
be more serious.
SubhanAllah, can you see how many things that
we might fall into?
Right?
Unintentionally.
Ma'aazeeb al Shaleed, SubhanAllah.
Very sorry to say,
this has an impact on one's tawheed
which could possibly even need it to what?
Canceling it altogether,
removing it altogether.
Falls got written down here. I wrote a
very, very long time ago.
Visiting Babu Alley.
Have you guys heard of Babu Ali?
Every now and again,
a yellow postcard comes through my door.
You know what he says on there?
Visit Babu Ali
or call Babu Ali.
What kind of services does Babu Ali provide?
If you are
having marriage related issues,
if you feel dumb, depressed,
sad.
Right?
If you need a quick fix for your
marriage,
a quick fix to your problems,
you've been sucked by your
boss and you want to go back into
work,
call this number.
Identifying brothers and sisters.
Identifying who the real Sheikh, the real Adam
is,
and who in essence is what?
A fake.
There was a time when I gave a
Khutba about this particular topic. The Khutba
was about Harry Potter
and David Blaine, and Dynamo, and Britain's Got
Talent.
Les,
today's day and age, that which we have
embraced
wholeheartedly,
or that which
we take pleasure in,
is the entertainment
that has been
made so easily accessible to us.
People are sitting around watching these magic tricks
and these magic shows.
Right? Britain's Got Talent has some of these
shows. Right?
And we're just enjoying ourselves. Entertainment.
Are we reading these magic books like Harry
Potter, Spellingham, and Madriesh, and all of that
stuff?
Kids from a very young age, they become
so desensitized
to magic.
Right?
We buy them the wands
and the hats and the clothes of a
magician.
And and they begin to act like them.
So, from a very young age, they become
desensitized.
And as they grow older, uneducated,
right?
They may be going through certain problems in
life and then this card comes through the
door.
If you're making du'aaf you're probably thinking that
this is what the answer
to all of your problems.
And then it says on there, visit Babu
Ali for a quick fix, or call Babu
Ali for a quick fix.
Ends up calling and yes, we ended up
calling the Sahir
to expose him and threaten him as well.
Right? And then all of a sudden, SubhanAllah,
these cards stopped coming through the door.
He used to have posted to the whole
block. It's a 15
or should I say 16.
Right? Flow building. Okay? We put it through
all of them.
Who's putting it through the
post? Allahu'ala.
Name some jinnies in it.
Because I would never hear it coming through
the door.
One
goes to these piers subs or these
sorcerers and Babu Ali and whatever have you,
thinking
that he is now going through some Islamic
therapy.
We have a guy in Lestat. He's got
the latest CCTV
camera
in front of his door.
Right? And that is because he's been attacked
in the past.
The man sews tao ezes.
The
man sews tao ezes.
And apparently, he's filthy rich
because he sews them.
He's making money out of them.
Now earlier, he talked about £279,
Allahu'Anahu the man is charging.
Got the latest cars in his driveway.
He sees TV as well.
Just in case somebody wants to harm him.
Telling
you that you know how you go to
the medicine how you go to the pharmacy
to get paracetamol.
This is no different. But this is a
sharai
alternative.
Right?
Brothers and sisters,
something very very simple.
This is why I really got my way
to push the concept of self ruqya.
Now, brother of Sadat Mohammed Tim Hambu, when
you type onto Google,
right,
A program, I think it is with his
name,
Muhammad Imhambu,
practical steps come up on a link
that you can follow to help yourself.
You don't need to go to some piersa
or to some Babu Ali or some sorcerer
or some chef that you think is a
chef.
I'm not saying you don't go to Arafi.
There are those who when you go to
them will read some
Right?
And when that individual
reads Quran on your brothers and sisters as
if Najjar mentions 3 conditions.
Right?
That which he says is using the Quran
and the Sunnah.
Quran and Sunnah.
I
think the second condition is also using the
names and attributes of Allah
And then the 3rd,
it has to be something with whom
that can be understood.
Not just him words,
mumbling and
tell you guys something happened.
Says I'm not adding something or taking something
out.
That's exactly how it happened.
I was a Yemen,
and I was on a very, very intense
Quran program.
Very, very intense. I would sit for around
19 to 20 hours every day.
Right?
And then once this Khalas shut down,
burnt out, which is very expected and predictable,
and you're pushing yourself to that extent,
right? And even at the end of that
20 hours, it's like you've only memorized,
or should I say barely anything,
it's gonna get to you. And eventually I'll
shut down. I got taken to the sick
room, in the institute they had a sick
room.
This is before I went to study in
the Manj, right?
I was at a
Sufi Institute
in Hadramaut
that I was advised to go to.
I heard about this man.
If you go and sit with him,
he will kill you. I didn't know any
better.
Sorry to go to him.
Wallahi, brothers and sisters.
I'm walking into his house literally about to
collapse
because
of how mentally and physically exhausted I have
become. I'm sick to the core.
I just walked out of the sick room.
I just walked out
of the sick room
that has all of the ill students.
And I'm literally holding the wall as I'm
walking.
I sit in front of him,
brothers and sisters.
The man started mumbling.
I've learned Quran to some degree.
I can understand even if I don't know
Arabic, and at the time I had a
decent
level of Arabic. Right?
And if somebody is reading the Quran, I
can understand
that he's reading Quran. I can hear it
clearly.
That guy would
literally speaking like that.
And it is as if the sickness was
pulled out of me that very moment.
I stood up and I even started doing
this with my hands. Is that is that
normal? And just like, you know how you
start moving your leg
to see whether this is real or not.
Straight away, instantly.
Whatever medicine you bring me, I don't think
I will become cured that quickly.
Right? You may ask, oh, he could have
been a righteous man, whatever have you, and
this and that.
Remember brothers and sisters, even if you see
a guy walking on water, as Imam Shafi
says,
see him walking on water, it could be
that jinns
are carrying him. Is that possible without a
shadow of a doubt?
For anyone who has
looked into
the world of Jeans, that's very well possible.
Very well possible.
Souayman Shafi would say, I wouldn't believe him.
If that person was not a punter, I
wouldn't believe him.
So as I mentioned, the Ruqih is something
that the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam taught
us. It's pretty clear and evident
and know how to go about it.
I as I was sitting in front of
someone, I'm mumbling your thing, and then you
don't know what the guy is saying,
and he may well be calling a djinn
or whatever it might be.
Have you guys heard of zodiac signs?
How can you tell me a little bit
about it, Anshodha?
They predict your future. They predict your future.
Hey, what else? Star signs. Star signs.
Future events. Janine, do you shout in to
find out about future events,
Sorry?
They
based
your
personality off the month that you're born in.
You know, when I was coming back from
Australia, I I came back literally 2 days
ago,
and I nearly missed the Khutba today as
well. And what time you arrived?
129.
One minute before the Khutbah starts.
Because of my jet lag,
I don't know what I did to the
alarm.
Brothers were waiting for me for over an
hour and a half. Brother Yahya, may Allah
bless him, was standing in front of the
train station for an hour and a half.
Like Alhamdulillah,
some decent driving,
we managed to get here on time.
Driving on the hard shoulders and whatever happened
here, they'll not forgive us. Point of the
matter is
I'm on the flight, brothers.
I just woke up
because it's a 20 hour flight
from
Sydney or Melbourne to New Delhi In India,
it's approximately 12 hours.
Another 8 hours.
Another 8 hours from New Delhi to London.
Just woke up,
jet lagged. I look to my right
and I see the subtitles
of
I think it was a Bollywood movie.
My eyes straight away
connected to what was on the subtitles. You
know what he said?
Go and visit the astrologists,
and he will tell you when you're going
to die.
No?
Astrologist, astrology, you guys heard of it. Right?
There's a type of astrology that
has absolutely no issues,
right? That can be studied pertaining to the
moon and
gives you a very good idea of when
you should,
water, when you should
plant, and so on and so forth.
Right? Anyway, it's just a whole different issue.
He's saying
and I'm just reading this from subtitles because
I think it was a sister or a
guy or I can't remember who it was,
was watching a Bollywood movie.
Go visit the astrologist
so he can tell you when you're going
to die.
It's like Alhamdulillah. Let me write that as
another example.
This is in Bollywood movies brothers and sisters.
When you keep watching something,
would we all agree that one becomes extremely
desensitized
to that which
might
be grave and fallacious?
Very much so.
You know, the scholars of the past, they
would
say, don't look at lazy people.
Why?
They would tell someone with high aspirations
not to keep looking at someone who's lazy.
No matter that. Because subconsciously,
you will see it creeping into
an individual and then you'll see himself he'll
see himself
behaving
like that individual that he kept on looking
at.
One doesn't just become affected by the surroundings
of what is said in front of him
or what is done in front of him,
but also by that which one keeps looking
at.
When you keep scrolling through these TikTok
reels and these Instagram reels,
you'll see yourself picking up certain habits
that where a no goes on for you.
But now all of a sudden, subconsciously is
creeped in,
begins to affect your behavior.
You see young men walking around now, right?
He's walking a certain way.
And he doesn't realize that there's nothing wrong
with it or he has a particular haircut.
Say to Makhi, why you have he goes,
what do you mean? What's wrong with it?
Skin fade like, you know.
The hair's out like that. I'm not
having a go at you. No. Not attitude.
Like in in Lesta,
right, especially within the Samani community, that's my
community.
I have to deal with all the time.
And they don't see it. It's become law.
Everyone has it.
Where did they take it from? They took
it from
these rappers and whatever happened.
And that's because they keep on looking at
them.
Day and night, constantly looking at them day
and night.
Does that make sense?
Subconsciously, it creeps in.
You see yourself behaving and acting a certain
way.
You promised to lead. Right?
That's why, where did I see your promise?
And I was not going to go at
you guys, honestly.
Don't take it the wrong way.
Does that make sense, brothers and sisters?
So, now within
Hollywood or Bollywood or Somaliland,
all of these stuff have been what? Embedded.
From a very young age brother, look at
this right, Harry Potter
was
or should I you know, how can I
put this? Was the one
that everybody was so glued to.
I watched, me personally,
watched every
episode or every,
film that came out. That's how much we
loved it. I don't even know.
Right?
Still remembering. I asked my dad, can I
go to the cinema? The school is going
to they're watching Harry Potter.
And I was in secondary school at the
time. Everybody's going, can I go as well?
That which they say in these movies, right?
You know, when they visit the Magician or
the Sorcerer and then they've got that magic
ball.
And these potions
that we grew up seeing
when watching Cartoon Network
and Nickelodeon.
As you grow older, you continue to keep
seeing this in these Bollywood, Hollywood, Somaliland movies.
And then you might eventually end up even
doing it because it's become a norm.
And it's very very common where the zodiac
signs on which particular app?
Snapchat.
I call it Wussak Chat.
Which translates to be in English as Filth
Chat.
Filth chat, not chap.
Chat. Which I think most of you guys
would agree.
But
my head is big on that.
I was even sent some screenshots
of it.
Find out about your zodiac signs. I remember
subhanAllah likewise when I was in secondary school.
Some boys and girls sitting around and they
were talking about these zodiac signs
that you find on the back of the
newspaper.
Which month were you born in? Somebody's asking
me.
March. I'm born in March.
Taib, your zodiac sign is this.
Anani
Wallahi the other day brothers and sisters,
I was dealing with a marriage related issue.
A brother
was having, of course, issues in his marriage
and there's no marriage except that it has
issues. It's fair to tell the understanding that
many millennials have in today's day and age
is a myth.
Where he's going to come home every day
with 8, 9 roses and he's gonna,
on the bed.
It's
a myth, brothers and sisters.
So there's bound to be world problems in
every marriage. There's not a marriage that is
problem free.
Tayeb,
Jamil.
They were having problems, he considered divorce.
You know what
Helped him make that decision of divorcing his
wife
because of the zodiac signs being different.
Because they're not gonna work anyway because of
this and that. This was a determining factor.
And all of these brothers and sisters is
that which
either diminishes our Tawhid or leads to our
Tawhid being what? Cancel altogether.
Oh, I like this one.
Evil omens.
Superstitions that people have today.
Let's quickly run through a couple.
Walking under the ladder.
I remember when I was growing up, you
had these poles
that has signposts. Every time one of us
walked through it, we punch him.
He walked through the batman's legs
alaisiga lalik, as an aso.
He walked through the batiman's legs and if
I don't punch him, he will have bad
luck for the rest of the day.
These superstitious beliefs, brothers and sisters, is not
something that is new, they're very ancient.
This is why the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
salaatiyah rata wa lasa fara walaha
He negated these
birdly omens that people had. If they wanted
to go out on their travels, what would
they do? They would take a bird. If
the bird went left,
they wouldn't go. If it went right, okay.
It's a good idea for me to go
today.
I'm not going to be struck with
some evil that
may have struck me had the bird gone
left.
The occurrences that are taking place in the
cosmic universe now is being attributed to who?
To a bird.
When it should be attributed to? To Allah.
Guess head of the black cat?
What happens if the black cat crosses your
path?
What do people believe? All the kind of
superstitious
sentiments that people have.
Bad luck. Right? So what do I need
to do? Do I need to punch him
in order for him to
you have to walk backwards 10 steps. Is
that real or is that from you?
Well, I'm a person, no. I've
What is this? SubhanAllah.
Let me give you guys some other ones
as well.
Saying the word Macbeth
or wishing someone good luck while inside of
a theater.
This brings about what?
Coming to that.
Giving a clock as a gift in Chinese
culture,
Right?
As in Chinese, right? To give a clock
has the same pronunciation
as attending their funeral.
Opening an umbrella while indoors.
And a month time I did that and
somebody said, oh, no, you shouldn't do that.
There's some evil almonds that are attached to
it.
Putting shoes on the table. New shoes, you
bought it, walked inside of the house and
you put it on the table.
They see that as bad luck. Are they
going to be struck with some evil?
Failing to respond back to a chain letter.
I remember before all of these phones came
about, we'd receive emails
That's all of this information.
If you don't send it to 30 people
or 40 people or 50 people, we'd get
scared.
Then you will be struck
with
some of you millennials might not necessarily know
what I'm speaking about, but the elders
who used to be on MSN.
Right?
We'd receive these emails quite often.
And today goes round where? On WhatsApp.
Harisker that goes round.
Breaking a mirror is said to bring about
7 years of Babak.
Friday 13th
is bad luck.
Sameach Tanan Hanna, Friday 13th.
If a Friday falls on 13th of that
month,
then it brings about bad luck.
Type.
I have another one
written down which is very common.
Saying, why always me?
Why always me? Why economy so and so?
Not understanding the perfect plan of Allah
could really lead an individual to
speaking to Allah in a boisterous disrespectful way.
Why always me? Why can't it be him?
Right?
Do you not see,
oh, man and woman,
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala may choose something
in particular
for you,
which is the best,
but you don't actually see it there and
then.
How often have we been in a situation
where things happened?
I'll give you guys an example of marriage.
There's a lot of youth.
It's marriage season as well.
You're desperately trying to marry her.
Desperately trying to marry her. You think that
she is what princess charming that will never
ever come along again.
Everything you try in your power doesn't seem
to
happen.
Begin to say why? Why?
She's the best for me.
Right? It just doesn't seem to be happening.
Years down the line, SubhanAllah, Allah
grants you a woman
that you couldn't imagine.
Only then you say, Oh, if that didn't
happen, I wouldn't have this today.
Have we been in this kind of settings
and
situations?
I myself, SubhanAllah, recently
desperately tried to apply for, well, desperately tried
to gain
for the master's program in Medina.
Right? I tried my utmost best.
Everybody around me got accepted for
a master's program.
My Russian friend, my Nigerian friend, my Libyan
friend, my Nigerian friend,
every single one of them got accepted.
I got initially nominated and everyone thought, Halas,
he's going to get in. And then guess
what? Everybody gets in except me.
Right?
Am I going to turn around and say,
why me? Why, why you doing
That you believe in the good of the
Qadr and also
that which looks to you to be what?
Bad.
But that's very subjective.
How we see things.
Of course, I was disappointed.
I'm going to be honest.
Later on, I found another another time I
applied for Aqeeda. I didn't want to do
Aqeeda for masters.
I want to do fiqh,
but it was like as a last resort
because getting into the fiqh department for masters,
there were some issues.
Right?
I come back not knowing what I'm going
to do next,
just going with the flow.
Doing my sukharah from time to time, I
receive a message saying that you've been accepted
to do your masters
in Jami'atil imam
in Riyadh.
For which department? Fiqh.
Can you see brothers and sisters how weak
our intellects are?
How limited it is?
Why can't these atheists accept,
right,
that your minds are limited just like your
sight is limited.
What you can see is limited,
what you can hear is limited,
what you can smell is limited.
All of these are organs that Allah created.
They're all limited. Why is it that you
can't accept that your mind is limited as
well?
They begin to question why this is like
that and why this is that and
they amongst themselves
dispute
and argue what is morally acceptable and what
is not.
Once upon a time there were certain things
that were morally
unacceptable
in society
like smoking weed,
even homosexuality.
According to American law, only up until recently,
it started becoming
morally acceptable.
Things are changing over time as man develops
and learns.
He uncovers new things.
So they begin to change.
Do you know until this very day,
what do you call it?
Cannibalism.
That's what they call it, right?
It's perfectly fine in some societies. Perfectly fine.
Do you guys know what that means?
To
eat another human.
It's perfectly moral and acceptable.
There's no issue with it whatsoever.
Right?
Things change.
Amongst yourselves, you will find
disputes as to what we should do and
what we shouldn't, or how we should live
our lives, and how we should structure it.
Does that make sense, brothers and sisters?
This is why we have
no
option except
to accept
that there is an external entity
that should put down the law for us.
Otherwise, man will never agree with another
of what is morally acceptable.
We are indeed we are in need of
being fed
and governed by Sharia.
Think about it now. Take Islam out of
the equation. When I was in India,
came across this Irish brother
who was on the same flight as me.
He was by himself
and he was talking to me about non
Muslim guy. He was talking to me about
how
his girlfriend cheated on him. Oh, perfect opportunity
now to give him Dawah.
We're in India, New Delhi.
5 hour.
Right?
Transit.
We stopped talking, talking, talking.
I said,
what was your issue with her? She was
like, oh, I'm overprotective, and then I all
of a sudden, I found out that she
was sending pictures of herself to different guys.
Taib,
one of the things I said to him
was,
would you agree that what is morally acceptable
has become blurred in society?
I said, yes.
Tayyid,
do you have a problem with your girlfriend
walking around with revealing clothes?
Because this is what they do in society
and everything and
so you don't have a problem with her
walking around wearing revealing clothes while other men
are going to be looking at her, but
you have a problem with her sending pictures
to somebody else.
Where do we draw the line my friend?
You may say that certain things is considered
cheating and unacceptable.
And other things are perfectly fine.
When another will say no, this is unacceptable
as well.
You will come across a woman that you
want to start a life with.
Everyone has different standards
and different ways of looking at things.
Right? Especially with the Red Bull movement and
the feminist movement.
I think everyone knows what I'm talking about.
Right? The feminist,
they feel as if the men are over
controlling. They're toxic.
While the other side now wants to treat
women a certain way.
Everybody looks at things differently.
Whose way are we going to take?
Right?
This is why we need an external entity
to govern us, to feather us, to teach
us how we should live our lives. How
long do I have Sheikh? I'm just going
off on attention here.
No, honestly how long how long have you
gone gone on for? I don't wanna say
about an hour.
We've gone on for an hour.
Let me move on to
well, there's so many things that I have
written down here.
Saying things like so and so deserves better.
My hard work got me to this. He
got what he deserved.
There are issues with all of these statements
that I would have loved to.
Stand over.
Let's go on to some magic practices
that I think will intrigue every single one
of you.
There's a type of magic, my beloved brothers
and sisters,
it's called
the
shoulder blade magic.
You know what they do?
They take the shoulder blade of a slaughtered
sheep.
They go to the butcher, they specifically buy
the bone.
Some butchers they will sell it for extorted
amounts.
Some brothers and sisters,
right? And his son butchers, may Allah reward
them.
As soon as they've slaughtered it, they've taken
the meat of the shoulder,
all they do, they would take the kettif
and get rid of it
because they know
there are those who are ready to pounce
on any shoulder blade
that they could use
for magic spells.
I have an image right here.
Some of you guys may be able to
see it. This is a shoulder blade
And there's all of these writings on there.
These numerics,
these words
that are on there,
right,
after having written whatever they needed to write
on there as Magicians,
what do they do to it? They leave
it somewhere
in the open
that can probably not be found.
You know, it rains.
Rains. And then it gets dry and it
rains again, gets dry.
The more dry it becomes,
the pain increases.
And the effects becomes worse.
SubhanAllah.
So as I mentioned earlier, some of the
butchers, what they would do, they would break
it,
or they would get
rid of it just so it cannot be
used, And
some they're ready to pay extraordinary amounts, and
then the butcher is having a few day,
Right? Oh,
yes. Ketif I mean I'll sell it for
a ridiculous amount.
And then that magician goes write stuff on
there.
Does his magic spells on there,
and then sells it for an amount that
you can't imagine. People are ready to buy
it.
People are ready to buy it, brothers and
sisters.
And the reasons behind it are the following,
brothers and sisters.
You will find that magic brothers and sisters
will come into effect
with the permission of Allah azza wa jal.
Did the messenger
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam have
a magic spell done on him? Yes, there
was.
The end of his
life. Number 1,
Right.
Have you guys heard of the story of
Babylon?
That is mentioned in the Quran?
Right.
2 angels came down, and this is mentioned
in Surat Al Baqarah, I believe is the
16th page
on the Saudi printed Masai.
These 2 angels that came down, brothers and
sisters were called Harut and Marut,
and they came to the city of Babylon.
This brothers and sisters is based in Iraq.
Right?
They say there was not a city before
Babylon.
It was the the most ancient city that
you will ever come to know about.
The first real civilization
was Babylon.
That is referred to in the Quran as
Babel.
Right?
Before Ibrahim,
we're going back to the earliest of times
here before Musa, before Suleyman,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sent down these 2
Angels with the knowledge of how to control
and access the Jin,
They were sent
and they were allowed to teach anyone who
wanted to study with them the art of
magic.
These 2 angels, brothers and sisters, they came
to the people.
Right? They would offer to teach the magic.
However, they would come with a huge disclaimer.
What was this huge disclaimer?
We are indeed a fitna. We are a
test for you guys. Do not commit.
Right?
Those who learned it,
they were the first magicians.
What were they learning?
They will learn from them how to separate
between husband and wife.
Brothers and sisters,
you will see an individual who really loves
his wife,
right, suddenly
he has this strong hatred towards her, this
strong aversion towards her.
Doesn't want anything to do with her.
Right? You ask her what's the problem, let's
stop there, you know, I don't want
It's times like that when one should really
think outside of the box, maybe there's something
else going on here.
Right? Of course there are problems between husband
and wife. It might be that the wife
does certain things that he doesn't like and
he's just had enough because you know what?
Done.
She's made me sick and tired.
Sure some of you husbands can testify to
that.
And she gets under your central nervous system.
And she doesn't stop.
And you're saying, you know Allah.
We're talking about subhanAllah, there's nothing going on.
Of course you're going to always find these
squabbles, then all of a sudden,
turns around and says, you know what, I
don't want her.
He doesn't have the
desire to have intimacy with his wife. All
of a sudden it's like there's a block
between them both.
Number 2.
1 is not interested in a particular woman.
Right?
Or it could be that they were together
and then he's just completely lost interest in
her.
Right?
Because their personality is clashed, they're not compatible
towards one another or whatever have you. So
she takes the visit to the magician,
pays whatever she needs to pay, and requests
from the magician to do that which is
called Al A'utf,
To carry out
this love spell between them both,
which draws them
close together.
Another type of the system is
A magic saba is done in order to
drop the child that she is
impregnated with.
That she's carrying in her womb.
A time of Sahar that is done, brothers
and sisters.
That stops a woman now from having her
monthly cycle.
It could be that individual decides
to put a magic spell on you. All
of a sudden, you see a change of
character in that individual committing all types of
flash.
That individual has such a good reputation.
Right? He was looked up to in the
community. And then all of a sudden, brothers
and sisters,
the guy loses control of himself.
He starts doing all sorts of filthy, immoral,
despicable,
undesirable acts.
From hero to 0 just like Hakadah
overnight.
Could be brothers and sisters, someone's done something
to him.
Another one that I have written down here
is
Right? There is a good family,
very strongly knitted
or closely knitted.
And then because of someone going through problems
within his family,
he just can't bear to see
this family prospering.
She takes a visit to the magician to
get a magic spell done on that in
the future.
Brothers and sisters. There's so many different other
examples that I have written down here.
Another one that I really do want to
make mention of
is that which relates to
a
a
type of Seher,
It might be that individual writes it down
on a leaf
or on some paper
and then he hangs it somewhere.
Right? Or on some material, some clothes,
is it written on?
Which is then hung
every time the wind
blows this piece of garment or this piece
of paper,
you see it, or you see
the sehar coming into effect.
Really having a toll on this individual
who has Sahil Dhan on
him. Right.
There are some books that have been put
together, brothers and sisters, pertaining to,
a seher and whatever have you. Maybe another
time, Insha Allahu Ta'ala.
We'll go into it
in a lot more detail. We've gone well
over the time.
I will conclude with the story
of when I visited a magician, what actually
happened.
You can maybe inshallah to Allah take some
signs
of a magician from that.
When I was in Yemen,
when I was in Yemen,
once upon a time, I lost my blackberry.
Do you guys remember the blackberries?
BBI?
BBM message.
Had one of those white blackberries at the
time and was, of course, one of those
phones that was highly coveted at the time,
right?
It happened to be that I lost my
phone and my cousin lost his camera.
Around the same time.
What do I do?
There were rumors going around that there is
lady called Hababa Shifa.
What does Shifa mean with cure? Hababa the
beloved.
What does she do apparently she cures?
It sounded a little bit off to me,
so I went to the head Sheikh
in the Institute and I asked me, you
Sheikh,
I have lost my camera and my cousin
has lost his phone.
People are telling me to go to this
lady called Habab Sheba. Shall I go to
her? He said, yes.
So he decided to take a visit to
this lady called Habab Shefa. We went to
the taxi area and was like, can you
take us to Habab Shifa?
He was like, yeah, yeah, I know. Straight
away the guy knew where the house was.
As if to say, yeah, it's pretty common.
Everybody goes there all the time.
Get into the car, he drives us there.
He says, there's the house, go there.
Ring the bell. He drives off.
Ring the bell brothers and sisters.
The first thing that she asked me was,
what is your mother's name?
And what's your grandmother's name? What's your father's
name? And what is your grandfather's name?
And me being naive and uneducated,
I just told her.
Dad's name is this, my granddad's name is
that. Gave all of the names.
Cousin done the same thing.
I go back to the Institute. Right?
And of course, now I've been because I
lived inside of the Institute,
there would be normally 9 people in the
same room.
9 people in the same room.
3, 3, 3. 3. It was a big
room. Everyone had their own little space.
And you had your books to the side.
1 of the brothers
who sleeps in the room said that there
was this American brother who walked in, tried
to wake you up, and he was around
your
sleeping area.
So now we have a suspect.
I go up to this individual, I tell
him, listen, you are seen sniffing around my
sleeping area.
And there is huge suspicion that you are
the one that took the phone.
So no, it wasn't me. I'm
leaving tonight. Yes. He was actually traveling back
to America. I don't want any problems.
Don't give me any issues. You know what?
I'll give you my phone. Take it.
If I accuse any of you for taking
my phone, would anybody just say, you know
what? Take my iPhone. I don't want any
problems just like that. Anybody do that?
You're gonna stand there and fight your case.
He gives me the exact same phone that
we're missing.
It's, like, okay.
The exact same white blackberry.
So we leave. Now I start checking the
phone. I realized,
the headset is not working.
And you call, you know the sound? You
can't hear anything. I said, no, I'm not
having this. So I went back to the
guy, I was like, hey, you take your
phone, I'm gonna deal with this tonight.
So we spoke to the principal of the
Institute and he was like, listen, go back
to him, make sure you get your phone.
He did take the take the phone and
he said it was some certainty, Allahu'ala.
Is he personally dealing with Jins? I don't
know. He said, we've certainly go and take
your phone and I'm on my way as
well. He has your phone.
So we go there and there was a
huge exposure, managed to retrieve the phone.
Front of his parents were just about to
leave back to America after maybe over 10
years in the institute.
I think it was 10 years, Allahu Alelam.
But a very long time, you can imagine
how broken his parents would be. He brought
our children here to become
righteous individuals, educated and this is the last
thing that he's done.
It's kind of very long story, so I
went back, I was like, khalas, I'm just
going with my day now, and my studies,
my cousin goes, listen, I came with you
yesterday,
now I want you to come back with
me today.
Then let's go.
Go back to the lady
and ring the bell.
Little girl comes running, she was like, here,
my auntie gave you guys these 2 papers
that are wrapped up, here take it.
And she said, don't open it.
Go and put it under the stone.
Go and put it under the stone.
I said, don't open it. Me, I was
very curious, right?
Kind of person that I am.
And I, of course, already found my phone.
She was like, go and put it on
the sun, you'll find it.
I decided to open it, allahi brothers and
sisters.
It had all of these scribbles,
these scribbles
with some verses of the Quran,
mingled with all of these scribbles and this
funky type of handwriting.
I got so scared I wrapped it up
and I took it under the stone.
My cousin didn't open it because he wants
his camera back, right? Takes it, puts it
under another huge rock.
Brothers, I kid you not, the one who
stole his camera came to him mixing up
his words,
shaking,
take your camera.
And I witnessed that with my own eyes.
You know who that was? The one who
was guarding the Institute.
Because at the time my cousin left it
in the charger inside of the Musa Allah.
He happened to be walking around on a
Friday when most people leave to attend the
Jum'aina
Big Mosque
and I took it. Nobody knew who it
was.
He's the one that came shaking and shaking,
among mangling up his wires and whatever and
gave it back like that.
These are some signs, brothers and sisters.
Right?
As I mentioned right at the beginning, the
most precious thing to every single one of
us is what? A
Tawhid.
And there are many things that could destroy
it. Right?
What I mentioned today is only like a
drop in the sea of what is out
there to learn.
From the things that cause you to hit,
to diminish, or to be canceled altogether,
The different types of magic and whatever have
you. Maybe one day we'll do
a a power point course, and I'll show
you guys proper samples
of some of these.
It'll be a workshop, Insha'Allah. Maybe we'll do
it one day,
maybe next year.
That was a
May Allah Ruud, brother Arshad.
Right?
I feel really bad as well. The amount
of times we try to organize a date
and then I would cancel it and then
we'll do it again. And then we'll just
become
a I really really,
you know,
took him for a run, you know. SubhanAllah.
May Allah reward him. He was very very
patient with me.
And ask Allah
to make me
better in my communications because I'm very bad
at it.
Right?
Brothers and sisters always say, Oh, why do
you have a PA? No, I don't feel
comfortable with that.
Telling everybody, oh, yeah, go speak to my
PA.
That doesn't sit well with me at all.
Even the brothers have said, let's deal with
everything. I just don't feel comfortable
with that. Doesn't feel good within the ness.
Especially with the masajid that used to deal
with all of these years. Now I say
go and someone else speak to him.
So I'm trying my utmost best InshaAllah Ta'ala.
I hope
uncle Zafar and brother Arshad, they they understand
next time I'll be a bit more
organized InshaAllah. We'll try and sort out a
lot of things in the future
Really feel good being in this mistim. Lovely
glowing faces here as well.
May Allah bless every single one of you.
