Whoever doesn't thank the people, they're not this
person won't be thankful to Allah Azza wa
Jal.
So I just wanna thank
and the administration of the masjid,
the people who took time out in organizing
this event, this program.
Some of the brothers have been very, very
good to me since I came.
And the prophet
also said
Whoever does something good to you, then try
and do that good thing back.
And if you don't find anything to actually
replace
that which he done for you, then make
God for this person.
So we ask of all, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
to bless and also reward
those people who have
put a lot of effort into trying to
make these events happen,
those who are carrying it out, and those
who I hope in any way.
As for our talking today, brothers and sisters,
and I think it's very, very important that
we speak about this topic
pertaining to fit in trials and tribulations.
As you have been in a time, brothers
and sisters, as you can see,
there's so much fit in taking place.
The trials and the tribulations,
the corruptions
that we
currently find in our society, especially here in
the west,
is very widespread.
Forget about falling into
or falling into sins.
People are being pulled away from their religion.
Today they are doubting the presence of Allah
So again about falling into bitter. Bitter without
the shadow of a doubt is a serious
thing. Right?
Falling into
sins,
all of these stuff,
they're very very serious things.
But to be pulled
away or to be taken out of your
religion
is much more greater and much more serious
Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us in
the Quran in Allah
is a major sin that Allah might forgive
even though the matter is awite.
Brothers and sisters,
The prophet
From the signs of the hour is that
knowledge is going to decrease.
Ignorance
will also become very widespread.
Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
said,
he said,
fornication,
what girlfriends and boyfriends do,
that will become very widespread as well.
He came in another narration, but you will
not be harsh.
Healing will become so widespread as well.
Now ask yourselves, brothers and sisters.
The prophet told us this is from the
science of the hour.
If we look at the society today
and we look at some of the countries
that
are Muslim countries today,
is this widespread
or is it not widespread?
Are we not getting closer to the Allah
that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told
us?
And he put his 2 fingers together.
I was sent
and
the distance between myself and also the hour,
it's like the distance between the two fingers.
It's very, very close.
As Allah azzawal told us,
the matter of the Abba is nothing but
the blink of an eye or even close-up.
Many signs are taking place
in front of our eyes.
They are warning signs to us, brothers and
sisters.
If it's not
a sign or a warning to us and
we're not taking heed, We are not changing
our way.
When do you expect
that we are ever going to change? If
these things are happening in front of our
eyes, it's not making us tick as they
say.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he also
said,
in that which he hate, whether it is
haram or whether it's haram.
When it comes to making money,
not caring whether I am taking riba, and
I am waging more with the law.
And it's very widespread today.
And the person who has been killed, he
doesn't know why he has been killed. Look
at the Arab world today.
That the time that comes after it is
worse.
Today,
some of our sisters
and even public figures, people in authority,
they think it's okay for a sister, may
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guide her, to come
out on a * magazine.
I don't think I need to elaborate
on what that means.
Most of you are aware it's going viral
I'm not I'm not saying this to put
the sister down.
But to make you aware,
a couple of years ago, maybe tens of
years ago,
Did you think it was possible
for a woman
to ever do this?
Rather, you look
at the time frame
from maybe 15 years ago or 20 years
ago,
how the sister used to dress
and how is it becoming now.
Brothers and sisters, do not be surprised.
If tomorrow you see a sister wearing a
miniskirt, it's
not far off.
I've seen with my own eyes. Recently,
something,
some of the brothers, they posted a few
pictures
of how the sister, she used to dress
maybe 20 years ago,
then maybe 10 years ago,
and what could be happening in 10 years
time.
Maybe if you asked us 10 years ago,
do you think that sister's going to be
walking?
On the face of this earth in a
manner that she is walking today,
we would have said, no. No way.
It's happening today.
There was a time, the time that we're
in now, is becoming more worse.
I feel with my own eyes brothers and
sisters,
just a week ago,
a sister she's got a hijawat and
her,
saying
we have seen this in the universities.
A woman, she's what?
She's wearing a hijab and at the same
time she's wearing a skirt
with tights.
Also, the prophet
said,
do you see what I can see?
I see that the
is going to drop inside the homes
just like the raindrops.
The will enter into their homes.
And things that weren't normal before running the
sisters
back in the day is going to become
normal
today. And practicing your religion brothers and sisters
will become very, very difficult.
And I will mention inshallah to Allah the
reward for practicing your religion in these kind
of times.
When they're sitting on your right, sitting on
your left, in front of you, behind you,
and under you,
you look to your left,
you see women that is such a fitna.
That will make it difficult for you to
what? Lower your gaze. Makes you go, Wow.
On your right, in front of you, there's
haram all over you.
There's means and avenues for you to take
to make easy money.
And practicing your religion in these times, as
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us.
There will come a time when holding on
to your religion will be like what? Holding
on
to Hakkol. Can you hold on to Hakkol?
Something that has been burnt.
That's just come out of the fire to
hold on to it.
You'll end up dropping it. It's very, very
difficult. You can't. It'll burn you.
That is how a person will become this
religion.
Now that the prophetess of allahu alaihi wa
sallam, guys,
has told us all of this.
Does that mean now, brothers and sisters,
okay, the prophet told us 1400 years ago,
I'm just gonna submit myself.
Everything,
Khalas, it is bound to happen anyway.
I'm going to be trial,
tribulations are going to hit me, and Allah
says, just go and take it. And I
just carried it with my life.
The Sharia
has clarified and made it clear for us
how to protect ourselves from what these fit
in these trials and tribulations.
It's
a great enormous thing.
You'd rather be dead than not to be
trapped in your religion.
You being trial in your religion is worse
than what being killed.
Is more
That's a person he's trialed in his religion
till he is now pulled out of his
religion to what to Al Kufar? To disbelieve
in Allah's religion.
And you know brothers and sisters,
killing someone is not a small
matter.
Taking a knife or taking a gun and
shooting or killing someone.
There's another hadith that explains this, the enormity
of this issue. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam said,
of a problem in the eyes of Allah
that won't believe in being killed.
In another hadith, the prophet
said,
That the is destroyed,
and that you remove the stones of the
Kaaba 1 by 1.
It's more
lighter
than what spilling the blood of a believer.
If you saw someone breaking the Kaaba,
the Muslim's blood is gonna go away.
It's going to make him go ballistic.
This is the place that symbolizes
Al Islam.
The Prophet is saying to you, breaking the
kaaba and removing the hajab 1 by 1
is more lighter
than actually killing a person.
So after knowing more than his brothers and
sisters,
even though
killing someone, it's a fitr, it's a type
of fitrna.
Allah
is telling you for you to be trialed
in your religion, brothers and sisters, is far
greater than all of this.
You know, brothers and sisters, when this comes,
it is not there to make you smile
or to come and give you a present,
you know, to wish you a
happy, great day.
Rather it comes
to pull you out of what?
That thing that we see that determine
whether you abide in the hellfire or you
come out and you go into a jannah.
If we ask who he is,
he was a tremendous tiger,
and it's important that we know these people,
that we're trying to be like them.
We're trying to be like who? The 3
golden generations.
The Sahaba, the Tabi'ayn, the Tabi'ayn,
also known as Salaf.
When we hear this, who do we intend
by it?
We mean the 3 golden generations.
And those who came after them
and those who came after them.
We need to try and be like them
when it comes to
our statements,
our actions, and our beliefs.
To try and be like these 3 older
generations.
Don't look at the specific
groups that are here,
who might claim
to be like a certain people,
rather take them as an example than try
and imitate them.
Are we going to dispute over the
the time being the time being the time
being the time being?
The best of those that are walking on
the face of his heart.
So I'm we'll talk about this,
brothers and sisters.
Just a big background in sha Allahu al
za'ala. He was someone
who used to try to the best of
his ability to stay away from the fitr,
and he used to warn the people to
stay away from the fitr.
Also, another attribute that he became known for,
he was someone
whose dua
was Mustajjad. Like if he made dua,
his dua will be accepted very quickly. He
was a righteous man.
One time what happened was brothers and sisters,
as they got in the jaleeb
mentioned
There
There was an issue between and another man.
There was an issue that broke out.
And that man, he lied against this great
Oh Allah. If this person,
After he made his life, you know what
happened brothers and sisters? He dropped dead in
his place.
One thing we learned from this even though
it's off topic,
that if you oppress someone,
you lie against him, and he meets you.
Where did we get this from? The statement
of the prophet
Yeah. I mean, he makes you oppress him.
You like him?
It could be the end of your life.
So these, my brother, the citizen used to
narrate from the
But this fitna, what does he do?
It
comes
and it pulls the person away from his
religion.
As quickly as the day comes and the
night goes, brothers and sisters,
that's how quickly a person can lead to
4th of
Islam. And the prophet told us this,
it's not a long process. Within moments,
I might be given a lecture,
and then a few moments later I can
what?
Need to fortify Islam.
Because of fitna Urah tried hitting me. The
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
hasten to doing good deeds.
You will find
trials and tribulations
that are like the dark patches of the
night.
What happens when you're walking in the dark
patches of the night?
12 o'clock.
In the middle of the park.
Can you see anything? You need to touch.
Right?
That's all the does to a person. He
throws him into darkness. He doesn't know which
way he's going.
It could be he's not able to differentiate
between what is
or it could be what is Islam and
A person, he wakes up in the morning.
He's a believer.
And in the night, 12 hours later,
he goes to sleep as a disbeliever.
And maybe a person, he goes to sleep
while a believer.
Then in the morning,
after he wakes up,
he prays in the morning why he has
a He
sells his religion
for an offer of this dunya.
So brothers, as you can see,
we're talking about
maybe matters we have never ever thought about
that ever crossed our minds.
Have you ever thought about, okay, me, my
name is Mohammed. I have an Islamic name.
I could just leave the fold of Islam.
And this happens through many means. One of
them is your companions.
One of them is your companions that you're
hanging around with.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us
Every person that is brought into this world,
every newly born baby,
he is born upon the what? The natural
way.
Either his parents, they turn him into a
Jew or a Nasrani, a Christian, or a
Majusi.
His parents are the closest companions, so they
nurture him upon his religion or upon his
way.
Today, we were discussing after we had
lunch. What happened to this individual called Imran
and
Does anyone here know Imran al Hakan?
No. I'm talking about.
Imran al Hakan
was an individual who used to take a
hadith from Aisha ta'ala radiAllahu anhu.
Great type of day it was
over a woman brothers and sisters. A woman.
He fell in love with what? A Khariji
woman.
A woman who has extreme views about the
religion.
You know the type of that follows these
sects like ISIS and, you know, these extremist
sects. As they say, mom is blind. Right?
You see a woman, your head goes.
This man, he saw this woman
and he wanted to get married to her.
People say to him, no, she's gonna end
up affecting you in her religion.
He was like, no, I'm gonna change her.
He gets married. It becomes from the heads
of the
the heads of the Now point is brothers
and sisters,
sometimes the people around you, how they could
pull you away from your region. It could
be the reason why okay. Today,
you're. Tomorrow, you're.
You know, brothers and sisters in
the
We turn them into great imams,
great scholars.
And they used to guide
through
our guidance.
When they were patient.
And they were people who
had certainty
with our verses.
Through patience and through certainty,
he
reaches scholarship
in the religion.
He reaches a very, very high point in
the religion.
Why these few things? Sadah and Yaldeem?
Firstly, there are some who brought brothers and
sisters. What does he do?
When a person has patience
and he's patient about
all these, you
know,
glamorous things in his dunya,
and he's patient about it,
It protects him from the the life,
the that are around him
and also the desire of the nafs.
Because we know that the Jannah is surrounded
by what the prophet told us.
The Jannah has been surrounded
as it came in another narration
has been surrounded by what? Desires.
Things that we wanna do. We see a
very nice, beautiful looking girl. We want that.
Especially if you're like,
you know, your teens and that.
On a hot summer day, a person roasting.
He really wants to fall into haram.
Really wants that, but he holds himself back.
Patience.
Then the second thing was what?
Certainty.
And this knowledge.
And certainty, what does he do?
It protects a person from the doubts that
come his way.
For an example, brothers and sisters,
if a atheist comes up to me or
a Christian comes up to me, and tries
to convince me that his religion is the
correct religion,
but I know how to tackle these arguments,
do you think he can go through me?
And what is this thing that enabled me
to be able to tackle the that he
has come with?
Was it other than
It was none other
than The knowledge that I learned allowed me
now to be able to protect myself
when a person comes out tomorrow and he's
doing innovation,
or he's celebrating the prophet's birthday,
or he's saying that it's okay to go
to the grave, and I can ask that
person in the grave
to give me x, y, and z.
I'm able to inform him.
Which is the knowledge. The is what the
knowledge is
said. A messenger said in the promise
they said.
I'm able to protect myself from these things.
Likewise, these two things, brothers and sisters, are
the main
big issues out there.
Whether it's in the desires, a person is
troubled with,
or the doubts that end up putting a
person away from his religion.
Another example that I gave you brothers and
sisters, when I said
We gave an example of a person in
the dark.
Right? He needs a torch to be able
to see where he's going.
He doesn't know where he's going. And likewise,
the fit in his likeness.
Allah gives us another example in the Quran
about a person who knows
And the part where
the
Allah
gives
is,
As for the one who is dead,
not physically dead, he's been stuck into the
grave. No. That guy
who just was in darkness, brothers and sisters.
We
gave him life.
We
gave this person a light. What is his
light, brothers and sisters? He's walking around in
the middle of the dark.
It is the Quran which is the knowledge.
So the guy that doesn't have the knowledge,
when the trials and tribulation comes,
he doesn't know which way he's turning. He's
like in the middle of a car, he
doesn't know what he's doing.
But the knowledge that he's learned, it is
the that Allah told
us, the difference between a dead person and
the one who want was been given life.
He has the Quran with him, which is
the marriage.
He's able to differentiate between what is right
and wrong.
So you have to ask this, our brothers
and sisters,
if I don't go out to at least
learn the basics of my religion,
when these trials and tribulations are coming, that
the prophet
said,
The will hit the heart.
I don't know if you have seen these,
these Arab they're not too copies. They're
not copies.
If anyone can help out.
Russian rugs. Russian rugs.
And
Alaiqulil,
you can see that the plastic and the
rubber are very close together
and the fit and he hits the heart
like this.
And that's what the prophet the prophet is
telling us, that the are
exposed to the heart just like that.
And what happens
every time you get trialed and you fall
into it, a black dot and another dot
and another dot until your
heart becomes so black.
A good thing comes to him, he doesn't
realize it.
Evil is around him, he doesn't disapprove it.
Do you like want to be in a
situation where so much evil is happening around
you
and now because your
heart is so dead, it has been trial
so much,
so much fits in a corruption, I said,
you can't differentiate now.
Today you tell a person,
don't take riba. He looks at you like
you're a madman.
Yani, it has become such a vital part
of our life or become so engrossed in
it.
That even some of the most major sins.
You tell the family member, no, before marriage
they shouldn't go out and date.
They shouldn't
go out together
and, you know, be around each other because
of the fit in a, b, and c.
Because of the fit in that might come
out of it, brothers and sisters,
they're looking at your brother wearing the 21st
century.
Everybody is doing it. It's normal now.
That's the meaning of belief.
Some of the
most serious things about religion that we should
be staying away from?
What happens, brothers and sisters?
Today is becoming a movement in our religion.
That's when you realize that our hearts have
become so dead.
The evil that happens around us.
So the 2 things that I mentioned, brother,
the sisters will what?
Which is the that was mentioned in the
and the was
what?
Which is patience.
Now I'm going to mention to
3 other main parts
or 3 main other main points
that when fit and occur,
that we need to go out and do.
And they kind of come under these 2
main points that I mentioned.
That was mentioned by Muzd ibn alaykum wa
Ta'ala.
Point number 1.
When it comes to some of the things
to protect your things from your your son
from being fit
in.
Going back to
the scholars.
Which of the 2 is it linked to?
The one dimension?
Knowledge.
Knowledge.
When we see scholars, that means yes, they
have knowledge. Right?
And that knowledge that we mentioned is a
mosque with a scholar.
As soon
as break out brothers and sisters,
it's upon us to go running back to
the scholars
and not to take things in our own
hands
as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us.
And he defamed those who begin to take
things into their own hands.
When something now pertaining public safety
and public fear, what they're doing is not
taking things into their own
And if only they will refer you back
to the messenger, And those who have authority
over them. Let me give you a few
examples now.
I know
there was people
when this whole ISIS issues broke out,
they didn't take the things back to the
squaders.
What did they do? They went to Syria.
They realized after, oh, no. What we're doing
is wrong.
Did they protect themselves from the fitr? They
caught themselves into more or greater problems.
Look what happened in the Arab Spring. Brothers
and sisters, when the Arab Spring took place,
I was in a Yemen at the time.
I saw before all these protesting that took
place,
how the country was before and after.
The scholars,
they were screaming from different parts of Aliaman.
I will speak on Aliaman because I was
there, and I'm originally from there.
What were they saying?
We need to topple over the ruler. We
need to go against him.
It's time for a change.
Just like we have in the western countries,
4 years, the guy changes, another 4 years,
it's not right for the guy to be
in charge for 30 years.
All the scholars told them
was
They open up for them.
Why is the most authentic book after?
Question.
The
one that's most authentic after that?
Muslims. Muslims. Sahih Muslim.
The sheikh wasn't bringing out his own speech.
All he was doing was bringing out the
most authentic
and the one after which was Sayy Muslim.
You go back to the whole chapter of
the chapter of leadership.
How they shouldn't be revolting?
How they shouldn't be doing a, b, and
c?
They weren't listening.
They were reciting the hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
There's a hadith that says,
there will come a time
where you will have rulers.
They won't take my guidance as a guidance,
and they won't take my sunnah.
Their hearts are like the hearts of the
shaitan in the body of a human
being.
So if you're saying, you Rasulullah, what should
we do?
What shall we do, You Rasulullah?
He said,
If your bank gets beaten,
your money gets taken, listen and obey. Am
I saying this? Is my share saying this?
Or is the prophet
saying this? The messiah were shouting this
from different parts of the country.
Guys, don't go out.
Do not revolt. It will lead to a
bigger problem.
They thought they knew better. What did they
do? They took things into their own hands.
Our religion brand awareness is very, very easy.
Some people started doubting that had it really
That shows you what how far off the
people have gone away
from the fundamentals
and the purity of our religion. Buhari Muslim.
We're not talking about the hadith al Haqir
of Hudawood
that's further away.
Muslim we're talking about.
And that was the hadith I started the
lecture of. From the signs of the Hawi
and Grit, knowledge is going to become what?
Very less. Echidnaverse is going to become widespread.
I remember I said this to a guy
who was working inside
a, picture shop
and it was very dangerous at the time.
I told him that, you know, and and
those who are sleeping on that road, what
guys were revolting.
And I'm saying to the guy, guy should
have come out. Hey. You know, the prophet
said this. I tell him the hadith. No.
No. No. No. No. He walks away.
Of course, I don't think that he meant
to deny the hadid, but it's just something
that they couldn't
the point is brothers and sisters, they took
things into their own hands. They wanted a
change and they go, they change. But what
was this change?
The country became more worse.
And now those who are running the country,
you have those who curse the sahaba.
Those are the people that are running things
at the moment.
Wallahi asked the Yemenis, now do you prefer
your country to be how it was before
you don't talk with over Abdullah Saqq?
Who was that rude at the time?
Or do you prefer it how it is
now?
Every person with intelligence or intellect
will say to you, we prefer.
And we're not trying to defend and say,
no.
They didn't have any issues.
Allah says to us, Do
Do not defend those who oppress themselves. Yes.
There was bribery taking place. There was Maafi.
There was transgression within the government.
But we're talking about do not exit,
and the whole country just went upside down.
And until this very day,
they are suffering from it.
What was that that which they done? They
didn't take the matters back
to the Swaddlers. They took things into their
own hands.
Now look at this speech of Ibn Said
If the breaks out,
you know those guys with intellects like the
scholars and those with intelligence.
They
will not have the ability
to be able to stop the foolish ones.
They won't be able
to
do so. Then he begins to speak about
the Sahaba. There was a time brothers, amongst
the Sahaba, a fitna broke
out. When the fitna broke out and there
was people amongst them
who who were undercover,
they were trying to close problems between
the Sahaba.
A broke out.
The biggest and the greatest of the companions,
the kibar and minhum,
they weren't able to what?
To extinguish
the Fitsdal that broke out because Hamas has
already broken
out.
And this is
the result of fitan, the feast all breaks
out.
And fear the That when it
hits, it won't
just afflict those who are oppressive. It will
take everybody.
Everybody will be affected.
This is why sometimes
when we see things that are about to
break out, we do something called
We join the Buddha, and we forbid the
evil.
And if the victim breaks out,
nobody will be free from it, from its
pollution
except the one Allah as a as what?
You have an old lady,
an
old man.
People who did not take part
or participate in the revolution. Today, they have
to pay number for the gas prices.
Electricity is being cut. Today is on. Tomorrow
is off. Today is on. What did she
do? Did she do anything?
Did she take participate
Any is fit and it took place, but
now she has to suffer due to what
other people done.
Allah said
Corruption has become apparent upon the earth
because of what the people they've done with
their own hands.
I know with me now brothers and sisters.
Sometime when we
bring you an example, it makes clear that
we should be mentioned.
This is exactly what we experienced in Yemen
and other places.
If only
you are gonna be in a
Why shouldn't it be to them? If only
they've done what Allah told them to do,
things wouldn't be bad for them
as Allah told us.
Of course, we say
but we need to understand
the roots of the problem and how it
broke out. So it becomes a lesson for
us in the future if we find ourselves
in this situation.
We go back to the.
Those with intellect from the scholars,
the people like Shamsara and Fozan.
The people belittle at the time, then they
realized
They try calling them as well as for
dollars. All they want is to what?
Maybe get on the nice side of the
rule at a time.
Then people realize, oh, I should have listened
to Sheikh
I should have listened to Sheikh when
he was calling out in a living.
The rest of the scholars were telling the
people stay in their homes. As we're gonna
see now, inshaAllah,
what the some of them they done when
fiqhah broke out. And you will see for
yourselves
which which one was correct
to
do. The second point where the decision is
to in order to protect yourselves
from
the.
To busy yourselves
with worship,
with.
Freedom rings out, stop worshiping Allah
One time, the prophet was telling me,
He said,
SubhanAllah.
Glory be to Allah Subhanahu wa
What has been sent down today from the
fitan?
The trials
and tribulations.
And what has been opened up
from the Khazai,
the treasures.
He
said, wait up.
The prophet is commanding
for his other wife to be waken up,
to be woken up.
And the one that's already made it, it
was Amaykadide.
That night, he was with Amaykadide.
So he commanded that the rest of his
wives are what?
And then he said,
And perhaps,
there's there are women
who in this dunya,
they are clothed, they are blessed
with bounties of blessings.
But then on your they'll depart from
it. Some of the benefits that we can
take out from these brothers and sisters, look.
The prophet
woke up He said, what has been sent
down today from the fitan? Fitan came down.
What did he
do? He commanded
for his wife to be woken up in
order for them to do what? To stop
praying.
To stop doing any violence.
And he also wanted to teach them
that they shouldn't get complacent
just because they are close to the promise
to stop worshiping, to start engaging and then
about that and so what?
Are you the way the brothers and sisters?
If this is now the situation of somebody
wife of the prophet, he's telling them to
wake up and pray. When we stop?
He's telling them, trying to teach them not
to get complacent, but to worship Allah
in time of.
So they woke up and they started praying.
Now,
fitan breaks up brothers and sisters. We close
our ears and we go what? And we
stop praying for Allah
The other hadith I mentioned,
when he talks about the dark patches of
the night, what was the first thing that
was mentioned? Hasten
to doing good things.
How many people do you find, brothers and
sisters?
Old men,
you know, they're just engaging in their
They
are worshiping Allah. They are fasting. Comes, they
don't get affected.
Their head is totally somewhere else.
Another example of this is brothers and sisters,
when the prophet
was gonna be talked about the Dajjal,
The second day will be like a month.
And the third day will be like a
Jum'ah, like a week.
And the rest of the days will be
like the normal days.
You know the first thing that the prophet
Muhammad,
they
That day that is like a year.
Do we only pray
one prayer or do we like, you know,
you know, one prayer? Do we only pray
one prayer that we normally pray?
You know, thinking about that.
The Deja is one of the greatest that
the defense will be affected with.
One of the things that after
you know what that we do?
The
will be lifted in the jar.
We seek refuge in Allah
from the fitna of Adi jal. And tomorrow,
we'll talk a lot about it. That the
jal, things related to him.
They gave a lot of concern to guy
about that.
Yes, brother. This is it will be tough.
It will be more tough than this.
As I mentioned previously,
holding on to your religion will be like
what?
Holding on to But look what the prophet
says to us.
Said,
worshiping Allah
at time
when people are being killed, when when blood
is being
shed,
it's like what? Making hijrah to me.
And guys, do we know about the reward
that a person attains when it comes to
performing
hijrah? Allah tells
and to Allah And he dies,
then his reward
has become incumbent upon Allah
has made it a
something composed upon himself to reward a person.
Those who go and make hijab, and they
die in a process,
or they are killed.
Allah
says, this person will be provided with great
provision in the.
That's the reward of hija.
And the prophet is telling you,
and
doing a time when people are being killed.
You find that the crime rate is going
up.
Left, right, center, up, down, everywhere.
You go back to your home and you're
worshiping Allah you're
trying to hold up your religion,
it's like making hatred to the prophet
Also, the prophet
from the
that is apparent and that which is hidden.
And you're the one that's hidden, brother. Sometimes
you can see if it's not.
Sometimes you can't see it. And through it,
the person is what pulled out of his
religion.
And the prophet sallallahu alaihi, these four things
that we mentioned, brothers, as it came in
another hadith,
that
the prophet salallahu alayhi was some
He He used to seek refuge in Allah
as well from these 4 things that were
mentioned.
Seeking refuge in Allah as away from the
nah,
the punishment in the grave, from the fitan,
and also the dajjal.
You know when you go down for the
tahiyat?
These four things he used to always do
it in all his prayers
to show you the greatness and the seriousness
of this issue.
When is the last time that we may
have made dua to Allah? Oh Allah, keep
me away from these trials and tribulations.
And the third point, brothers and sisters,
is
To completely disconnect yourself
from the that
is around you.
Now look at
What did he do at the time when
a fitna broke up between
some of the companions of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam?
He took his camel and just go off.
He went
and he started sitting or residing in a
place where there was no one.
From very far, he's seeing this what? This
person on a riding camel coming to him.
You know what he says?
Sahih al Mi Waqase, he left everybody, he's
gone.
He's sitting by himself trying to stay away
from the fitter.
He sees this rioting camel coming to him,
someone on top of it, O Allah, speak
refuge in you from the evil of this
person who's coming. And this is sad, he
doesn't know.
So your son says to his father,
oh, father,
have you come now with your camel and
also wherever you have your sheep?
He took his camel and his sheep and
he go off. He went just like, it's
like leaving the city that we are in.
I'm going to where the farms are now.
You left the people and
they are disputing amongst themselves
about the Mulk leadership.
So
came and he hit him in the chest.
The father hits the son in the chest.
They told
him,
They told me, be quiet.
I heard the prophet
say,
he lost the servant
who
has,
the person who has richness when he comes
to the iman,
and the person who is hidden.
If
we speak
about what it means, we can maybe do
a whole lecture on it.
But in summarization,
what does mean? And yet
as
As in
means, brothers and sisters, people tell you what?
Translated to be fear.
When we hear it means what? Fear according
to many.
But that's only
It is only a small part of what
means.
Rather means
that a servant,
he places between
him and also that which he face a
shield.
That which he's scared of, a shield between
him and what a person he feels. When
a person goes into the battlefield,
what does the army have the shield right?
What does he fear? The enemy to throw
a at him.
So between him and the enemy is a
shield that he's protecting himself with it.
And a Muslim, who does he fear?
He fears Allah
So he places a barrier between him and
Allah
Where is his barrier brothers and sisters?
To do what Allah has told you to
do and to stay away from the things
that Allah has told you to stay away
from.
This is a taqwa.
This is a taqwa.
And through taqwa, you will attain
many great things in your life. How many
times does Allah say in the Quran
about the tawwah? When we do the khutbah,
Time and time again, Allah says, and when
the reward is great result, Allah says,
Whoever
has and Allah will give him an opening.
Sometimes things are very hard. You
have Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
on the first page.
Be free. I am talking about tafaa. Our
Allah will make your life very easy.
So my point dear brothers and
sisters, Allah
loves the person who is stopping. Someone who
is excessively
conscious of Allah
and stumble with Allah too.
And the point that we derive from his
brothers and sisters,
he go away from everyone.
And there's another hadith that says what?
In
the He repeated it 3 times.
The happy
one the happy one, brother and sister, is
the one that stays away from the
and he repeated it 3
times. But the one who's in trial, he
gets sucked into it for whatever reason, and
he's patient about
it for him is an immature world. Also,
again,
The great tag that I mentioned. He said,
I remained in the fitna that happened with
Abu Bakr.
That's another fitna brother and sister took place
between him and Hajjaj,
Yusuf Hajjaj al Yusuf,
the tyrant
at the time.
907
years.
Saying
this,
I remained in it 9 or 7 years.
I was never told about anything that was
going on, and I never
inquired
about what is going on.
He just
kept himself
to himself.
Basically, cut off from it. He went his
own way and then worshiping Allah azza wa
jinn. And he became known for this,
Warning the people, staying away from the fitan.
So brothers and sisters,
someone might ask the question now.
Okay. We have automatically did something in the
vision.
We are living in a time where the
Muslim Ummah is suffering and we all have
been trialed.
Why is the Muslim Ummah suffering, and how
can we get out of this problem?
Brothers and sisters, the is very, very clear.
You don't
entertain
your
mention
a
very powerful statement
He mentioned in Majumah of the Taliban, this
is this.
When it comes to
you having everything that you need inside the
Quran,
now I remember
I remember you now. I haven't seen something
that feeds the mind
and also feeds the soul.
And
it also what?
Preserves
and looks after the body.
And it also what guarantees happiness.
More than constantly looking in the book of
Allah as a wajale.
That's what we'll say with us.
The point is when we look now in
the Quran, we don't need to look any
further.
Any problem that we have brothers and sisters,
people have tried many ways. Sometimes a problem
occurs,
they go out and call this.
Petitions are taken out.
Okay.
It might make your situation a bit better
in a temporary basis,
but permanently
Allah has told us in the Quran.
So by us now looking in the Quran,
brothers and sisters,
we find the answer for all our problems.
Between the husband and the wife, sometimes a
problem occurs. Right? One of the main problems
that we hear all the time that I
receive emails and messages about,
husband and wife problems
is in the Quran.
Let me give let me ask you a
question
now. When normally a divorce takes place
between a husband and wife,
what normally happens?
He's given a.
Do
do they hang around together?
What happens?
Everybody goes their own ways.
Either he kicks the woman out or she
leaves.
Goes back to her mom's house. The mom
calls, get out, and come back home.
Us
Don't kick them out and shouldn't leave.
Lie it. So if they stay together, something
would happen.
Allah will make something happen between them. Do
not fight against the enemies of Allah.
And most people who do not act upon
this,
they go both their ways and there's more
problems in their lives. You're the one that
translates against the commands of Allah
When Allah told you to do a, b,
and c, you didn't do it.
Rather, maybe if you've done it, happiness could
have come out of it. And I'm seeing
this happen to people. People who,
ah,
hate their behalf,
concern her,
but they remain together and they end up
having what?
And many other things. Allah says,
If you look in the Quran, Allah tells
you. If a person believes, then he does
good deeds. So going back to the point,
now when we look in the Quran, the
sunnah brothers and sisters
of the Muslim
woman now, what the solution is?
People have tried every single way.
The prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, we told
us in one hadith.
And now you ask yourselves,
is this a ummah that we have currently?
Are they involved in it or are they
not involved in it?
The promised
Once you start engaging
in riba you know riba?
Is a type of riba.
Usually,
interest in things like this.
And you start chasing the tails of the
cows.
And you become satisfied with the land that
you have and you're chasing the dunya.
And
you leave them in jihad.
Before chairman 4 brings this out and thinks
that
I'm trying to tell people to go ice
and know what they're not saying.
Rather than different types of jihad,
and it's part of our religion. But now
what is taking place has nothing to do
with our region.
Allah
will send down upon you what?
A humiliation?
He won't remove this humiliation from you until
what?
You come back to your religion.
Did the law
tell us to go and change the ruler,
or did he tell us to walk on
ourselves?
Us to establish
sharia in our own homes.
To start up with our own selves, to
teach our kids
to make them practice the sunnah. And if
we look closely at this hadith brothers and
sisters, the Prophet said what once you start
dealing with riba?
Once you start dealing with river.
What is worse than river that is so
common today?
Innovation is so widespread.
People are disputing and trying to argue
and then say that it's okay for you
to go to the grave
and ask that person to give you x,
y, and zed.
This is far greater than zina having a
girlfriend
and also being involved in Ribba and falsehoods,
waging over the Allah
So if the prophet told us about something
that is more or less
Imagine
now that we have so much,
and then people they come and they say
to me, why do you always just speak
about and
sunnah?
All they tell
us when it's so widespread. And I always
say this to the people, I've seen with
my own eyes.
Around the Kaaba.
I'm not talking about the old house. Around
Beitullah and
Kaaba too.
In Mecca,
people going around saying, yeah, Ali, save me
from the fire.
So if this is taking place around the
Kaaba,
the most secret place on the face of
this earth,
then someone's gonna tell me don't wanna get
a ship and still speaking about sunnah. You
always speak about it. Just speak about all
the topics.
Allah as we will change the state of
the and they what? They combat themselves
to their own selves and they rectify their
own selves. Allah says
Allah will not change the state of the
demon
until they change themselves.
So sometime when a person is being oppressed
somewhere else, we should ask ourselves, maybe he's
being oppressed because of our own sins.
That's why we as a community,
we as fathers, mothers, uncles, we need to
start with our own selves. Try and change
that.
And then the enemy will not be able
to harm us.
What does Allah say?
To do what Allah told you to do
and to stay away from Allah, don't you
stay away from.
Their plotting and their planning will not harm
you at all.
If you look at Islam, brothers and sisters,
your patient
and your,
their plotting will not harm you at all.
Allah could have said go out and do
things.
He said be patient
and their plotting will not harm
He came in another hadith
explaining the hadith I just mentioned.
Until the people, they go back to what?
The early affairs.
That's when the finta will be removed from
them.
How the sahab was until you reached a
stage where okay. This action
In the name of the in such a
way. And that is our religion. Today we
have so much different
with only the people they said, okay, this
action that we're doing now, with the and
do it like this.
We ask Allah
to benefit from what we had,
to make this a lecture
where,
you you know, we don't just put through
one ear and take care of the other.
Father, that we act upon your hadith of
the promise
And we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to reward the message again,
organizing this very important topic.
These are the kind of topics that people
tend to like.
Signs of the Allah and things like that.
We're trying to give some relevance to it
inshallah o' time.
Is there anyone that didn't understand some of
the points that I mentioned?
Wants me to elaborate on it.
No.
Did you say that?
Know, Imam Shirkrit says
something pertaining to this aya.
You know when 2 people are together,
the family's upset with each other. Right?
Everyone's angry, everyone's frowning and, you know, giving
each other dirty looks.
The second day gets a bit, better.
3rd day,
there's a smile here and there.
The 4th day, join me to give you
tea,
you know.
And I think they they missed each hour
and they're back together,
break between the lines, you know?
The point is that's what
could actually happen when being together.
But some of them you find when as
soon as they get far apart,
The mother will start speaking. The mom starts
speaking. He's like this. He's like this. He's
a, b, c. It doesn't end.
Yesterday, he was like being described to be
like a prophet.
And today, he's worse than the shaytan and
the.
Very common that I see this all the
time.
So the shaytan does wants to be far
away.
Point is being close together. I'm not going
to be close together.
I've got a question.
Aki, to be honest with you
and you're probably aware there's been a lot
of,
you know, controversy online in regards to student
loans.
I don't know how much you know about
it.
Yani, if you go on to my YouTube
channel, you will find that one time we
went to Kuwait to ask this question. Okay.
One of the questions that we asked a
person who is very well grounded in this
issue,
why don't you feel brothers and sisters, there's
always a way out.
But our brother Abdul Rahman
and, brothers
from they're not from this place,
None. Allah has a way to find them
a way to study university.
A lot of people could do the same.
But sometimes they wanna tell themselves they can't.
I remember brothers and sisters,
I wanted to go to university as well.
And we spoke about taqwa, right, and the
higher dimension.
Whoever has taqwa
win,
always give it an opening.
If you tell yourself, I don't want to
fall into that sin. I don't want to
fall into that river.
I don't want to fall into
that prohibited. Nam,
he will always strike you away. I told
myself, no. I will accept him before you
invest in. I think it was Derby, Coventry.
Another woman I can't remember and he was
love. No. He was 3, and I was
trying very hard to get into a university
with love.
Was going to take a lot of my
tuition fee off and things like that. And
I said to myself, I am not going.
If I don't get in, I'm not going.
I made dua. I tried to be as
much faithful as, you know, as possible.
I emailed them.
They rejected me.
I emailed them again, they rejected me.
3rd thing, they were like, stop emailing us.
They had to send an email like, can
you just like relax a bit? You know?
And I carried on bombarding them a 4th
time, then it just left it.
Long story cut short.
With Dua, the promised told us what?
The only thing I'm a change the is
for the Dua.
And I carried on carried on. I get
an email one day before the UCAS.
Okay. We've accepted you.
There's some universities
which will,
you know, cut your tuition fee. I remember,
if anything, I came out with money in
my pocket.
Also, because when you're you know, when you're
married, you get an extra grant as well.
I'm not telling you to do marriage scums
or anything like that. Just to get married
in order to get £6,000.
Normally, everyone gets 3.
But they give you 6,000 if you're married.
You know, and they cut off another 6
for whatever reason.
They give you some money as well. So
the point is, brother insisted, there's always a
way. You may draw to Allah
and you have taqwa. The prophet
says,
You don't leave something due to taqwa, except
what?
Allah
will always replace it with that which is
better.
So there's always a way. You try to
be fearful, you make that.
That was it. I don't think.
