Abu Taymiyyah – Entering From The Door of Rayyan in Jannah

Yeah.
Can I just request the Buddhist just to
come a bit forward so we're closer to
the speaker?
My dear brothers and sisters,
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam says
that paradise has 8 gates,
and one of them is called a rayan,
through which none will enter except those who
observe fasting.
So there is a gate that is called
a rayan
and it's special for the ones who used
to fast a lot.
And the Sahaba
they knew the value of fasting,
so one of them said,
I have no desire in living in this
world except
be like you would choose out of a
basket of fruits.
So they would pick their words.
He said, I would sit with these brothers
who would just want to listen and I
and I would just want to listen to
the beautiful words that they would speak.
So no obscenity,
no cursing,
no idle talk.
They would just choose the best of words.
And he said that these are the three
reasons that make me want to live, otherwise
there is nothing else in Dunya that I
am attached to.
So you can see they weren't attached to
the dunya.
They weren't living this life because of their
loved ones. They weren't living this life because
of their wealth.
The Sahaba would
only live in this dunya to maximize the
rewards they can gain from Allah
by carrying out his commands.
Today's lecture will be delivered by our Ustad
Abutay
Mia Jelani
from Marcus of Sunnah in Leicester,
who studied extensively
in Darul Hadid Jamad Jamaj in Yemen
under a number of contemporary scholars.
So without further ado, I'll pass on to
Abutaimia Jelani.
Allahu barikalamuhammadwalaalimhamadu
alaalibrahimalalibrahiminal
khamidunmajid.
Dear respective brothers and sisters, Assalamu alaikum
As
the brother announced, InshaAllah we want to be
speaking about
the,
door of Jannah. One of the doors of
Jannah called Arayyan.
And also because it's the month of Ramadan,
I think it's imperative
that we also speak about how to get
the best out of the month of Ramadan
so that we enter in that gate.
So that we enter in that gate.
Most of us my thing is, you know,
it's easy peasy as the kids say lemon
squeezy,
you know, to just come and just fast,
stay away.
Just, you know, sleep throughout the whole day
all the way till Maghrib time and then
that's it.
We are going to be entering into that
gate that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam he mentioned about. As it came in
authentic hadith in Bukhari Muslim, the
Jannah has a door.
It is called
Those who are going to enter into this
door are the Sahimon,
those who fast.
No one other than them is going to
enter in
this daughter was mentioned.
It is said,
it is called out,
'aynos Simon what are those
who used to fast?'
And then they stand up
and no one other than them will enter
into
it. When they are called down they stand
up they enter, nobody else will enter into
this.
And once they enter the door is closed
and nobody other than them will enter now
into this
door. Brothers and sisters,
firstly I want to ask Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala to make this a month where we
get the best,
the optimum, the maximum reward
and not to make us from those who
are mentioned in the hadith.
Prophet Sallallahu Wa Ta'ala mentioned a very powerful
hadith
that speaks you know many words.
Perhaps the person he might fast and he
gets nothing,
absolutely nothing out of his fasting except thirst
and hunger.
So there is people like that
who might be fasting the same way that
we are fasting and from the Apparently looks
exactly the same,
But they will come on yawmar khiyama
and they have no, they have nothing.
This is because the month of Ramadan came
and maybe they you know, they didn't go
and benefit from it how they should have
been benefiting from.
Who was the greatest of the angels?
Can anyone tell me who was from the
greatest of the angels?
The greatest one?
Jibril.
And what made him the greatest?
What was the difference between him and every
other angel that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala created?
No. The Quran. The Quran was sent down
upon
through Jibril.
And who was the best of the prophets
and messengers?
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. What made
him the best?
Because
the Quran.
They also say Laylatul Qadr was the best
night and the reason for this is because
the Quran came down on this night.
How do you become the best of the
people?
By being from those who has the Quran
in his heart.
Because the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he said,
The best of you are those who learn
the Quran and they go and teach it.
The point is the reason why I mentioned
Jibreel,
he was Sayyid Al Malaika, he was the
leader of the Malaika, the best of them.
And who was the best of the Prophet
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam? You
have
the Angel Jibrael
who is making dua
against a specific person.
The Angel Jibreel is making dua against him
and you have the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
saying Ameen.
Ameen which means Allah Mustajib.
Oh Allah accept this dua.
Do you know this person was the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he
said
Wretched is that individual
who manages to reach the month of Ramadan
and what happens? He is not forgiven.
To be able to breathe in this month,
well my brothers and sisters that in within
itself is a niyamah, it's a blessing.
But
that which is very very sorry to say
is there is many people once they are
given this opportunity
they don't make the most of
it. Why do you think the salaf?
The
when we say salaf brothers and sisters we
intend buying the 3 golden generations.
The 3 golden generations,
the sahaba,
the tabi'in, the tabi'at tabi'in. And our goal
and objective is to try and be like
them as much as possible.
To try and be like who? The 3
golden generations.
Those who the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
praised,
The best of the generation is my generation.
I need the companions of those who are
living with the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
those who witnessed saw him and died upon
it and were Muslims.
Then those who came after them and then
those who came after them.
Allah has praised these people in the Quran,
The Muhajirun,
who are they? Those who made hijrah.
Then the Ansar, those who assisted the Prophet
SAW when he made hijrah to Al Medina.
The 3rd group or category that was mentioned
Those who followed them upon goodness,
those who try to be like them, step
by step, every move that they made they
tried as much as they could
with what they believed,
with what they said with their tongues and
what they've done with their actions,
their akhlaq, their mannerism.
Sometimes when the people they hear the word
salif they get put off straight away, maybe
because of a group of people they saw.
For what the intended purpose is when we
do say trying to be like them are
the 3 golden generations.
That's why I always say to the people,
if you really want to know the way
of the people of the past then look
at them, don't look at anyone else. Forget
about those who are around us,
who might run around with this name.
But it's the companions and the tabi'ayn, the
tabi'ayn
that we try to be like. Likewise when
we come to the month of Ramadan,
6 months before the month of Ramadan they
would ask Allah to help them
reach the month of Ramadan because they knew
what came with it.
And to show to you brothers and sisters
that
the month of Ramadan
is more than just sleeping throughout the whole
day
and not just withholding from food and drink
and desires.
What Jabir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu mentioned
the companion, the great companion Jabir, what did
he say?
When you do fast
that we should also fast is your hearing,
that we should also fast is your hearing
and also your seeing, your sight
and also
your tongue. From what?
From lying
and also sin.
Prophet mentioned in Hadith
fasting is just not
from
trying to
abstain from food and drink,
rather it is also
staying away from
false talk.
Empty speech
and also obscenity.
So brothers and sisters if we want to
be from those who enter into the door
of Rayyan
then it's vital and crucial
that we fast properly.
It would be totally insane to act upon
this fabricated hadith, there's a fabricated narration that
goes around every year on Whatsapp, people are
sending it to each other, social media.
Our religion teaches us to do tathabut
which means to verify when a piece of
information comes to us.
There's a narration that says
The silence
of the person that is fasting is tasbih.
So me if I stay quiet throughout the
whole day is as if I'm saying SubhanAllah
SubhanAllah SubhanAllah Subhanallah Subhanallah Subhanallah
And
the sleeping of the person who's fasting is
a
So
one might look at this narration and think
to himself okay
I'm gonna finish with sehri, I'm gonna wake
up suhoor, I'm going to eat, fill my
belly
then I'm badil fajir all the way to
the door I'm gonna sleep because when I'm
going to be in Ibadah then from duhr
to Asr. Asr to Maghir, I'm gonna wake
up 10 minutes before Istar
and I'm going to have all the pakoras
and the samosas
and so on and so forth throughout the
Hur Ramadan I do this.
This is a narration brothers and sisters that
is Va'eefun Jidda,
it is very weak.
Rather the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
he engaged in activities in the month of
Ramadan.
And those who look at the seerah of
the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam will find
that in the month of Ramadan
from the activities that took place was the
battle of Badr.
The battle of Badr and also the conquest
of Makkah, the battle of Badr took place
on 17th of Ramadan.
17th
of Ramadan in the 2nd year, it was
also the year which Siam was legislated,
the fasting was legislated in that month and
also you have the conquest of Makkah.
For anybody gets the wrong impression I'm not
trying to encourage anybody to go to Syria
and fight,
you know, this is something that
we do not encourage at all and insomnia
goes against
the religion of Allah azza wa
Jal. Mas shaydumil kalam, it was something that
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam done, he
engaged in activities,
he used
to recite the Quran,
who he also used
to spend in the cause of Allah as
much as possible.
It was a month of activity and it
wasn't a month of just sleeping and not
doing anything.
Before I move on to some of the
activities that a person could engage in in
order to
enter into that door,
that many people that are not going to
be given a Tawfiq,
a success
because we find today and we've seen it
multiple times.
When the month of Ramadan was coming
and people realized going to be 17 hours,
some people started saying, Imna lillahi wa Innalaihi
rajuran.
When do you say Imna lillahi wa innalaihi
rajuran?
When a calamity befalls
you, Allah says in Qur'an Alileenya the Asabatum
Those when a calamity befalls them they say,
rajah. What happens to these people? These
people Allah Azzawajal will reward them or stand
down upon them,
you know, sakeenah
like rahmah, mercy,
blessings,
these are the guided ones.
People looked at Ramadan 17 hours cave, how?
How could I possibly even fast the month
of Ramadan?
And they prevented,
they decided not to fulfill this Ibadah.
Brother brothers and sisters I always mention this
every year,
the fact that we're fasting for such many
hours I believe is a blessing in disguise.
Can anyone mention why?
It's two points. Why is there a blessing
in disguise? 17 hours, It's a dua of
the person who is fasting is accepted. You
watched the video, right?
I mentioned this before.
Have you watched this? Oh, MashaAllah.
Now Rufai Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he mentioned in
the hadith
salathatul
la turadu dawatum.
3 people would have the dua rejected.
And you know who they are? One of
them that was mentioned in hadith, Asa'imu
hadith
The person who's first thing until he breaks
it,
until
he breaks it. So you have 17 hours
to ask Allahazah for a wife to give
you a nice job. You know, if you
want her to look like this and to
have this herkal you could always add that
to the hadith- to the dua, sorry.
You want a change in circumstance,
you have family problems, you could ask Allah
azza wa Jal.
No, some of you youth Asma'an, I'm actually
a bit serious.
Being here in the summer
with
everybody here dressed, you know, in a very
inappropriate way, it can get very very difficult
for a guy.
So to ask Allah Azzawaj in the most
difficult of circumstances,
all the problems that we have, that we
currently face, the obstacles that
is placed between us and our Ibadat.
You know, I've seen time and time again
parents making dua against their children
because
they might be driving them crazy.
They may hear very very naughty, rather you
just making one dua for them could be
the reason why Allah
guides them.
Asha'idim Al Kalam, this is a blessing. The
people in Saudi Arabia when I left,
they only fast 8 9 hours,
they're missing out I see.
We have an opportunity that they may not
have, we might be busy, sorry they might
be busy and they might not get the
opportunity.
We work, we come home, we have hours.
From 5 till 9 is another 4 hours
that we could engage in dua.
Another one is, fa'id, a benefit I wanted
to mention,
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he mentioned
al Ujura alakatil mashaka.
A person is rewarded
in accordance to the difficulty that he suffers
from while performing the Ibarat.
So we have 17 18 hours that you
know,
we have to endure.
They only have 8 to 9, so do
you think that they are going to be
getting the same reward as us?
So these are 2 blessings that we have
that nobody else has,
17 18 hours that we are fasting today.
What I wanted to mention was before we
move on to some of the things that
a person can engage in,
one of the things that destroys
and that could potentially
be the reason why we get
nothing and not enter into that door called
Ar Rayyan,
that's only specific for those who fast,
is social media.
I'm not trying to tell you close or
you know get rid of your phone or
anything like that, rather it would be insane.
In this day and age that we're living
in for a person not to be using
social media,
rather we have a cup. A cup.
Can I say that that cup is halal
or haram?
Just like that without looking or how it's
being used?
Of course not.
That's why they have a principle on Sul
Fiqh, al Hakma ala Shayin Faran antasawuri.
You can't put a ruling on something until
you know the issue properly from every angle.
So now this cup that we
have, depending on what's inside it either becomes
what? Halal or Haram.
Halal or Haram.
Imam serving
hamar in there, is that halal or haram
that cup is it being used now? Can
I say this cup is being used for
something that is nice? Of course not,
but when it's being used for milk
I could easily say that this is something
you know halal feeding someone with that cup,
cup especially in the month of Ramadan.
And so on and so forth with other
means that we have.
Brothers and
sisters, this phone that we have, this phone
yesterday I done a whole lecture on the
issue of social media
and how it could easily be a mass
destruction,
not a weapon of mass destruction,
destruction,
but a mass destruction
for what we are currently trying to achieve
in this month.
If now your social media
is affecting you in your Ibadat,
do you know brothers and sisters that this
form could become Haram to use?
Using WhatsApp,
Facebook,
Instagram,
find out Usman al Mashaq they call it
fitnagram.
Facebook is called fisqbook,
depending obviously how you use it. You could
use it with so much goodness.
We have Facebook, we have social media, YouTube
channels but depending on what you are spreading
on there, and how much is taken of
your time, could easily become Haram
or what?
Haram.
If it's not affecting your salawat,
you're busy just speaking to people and checking
what's being posted on Facebook. One day on
Facebook, one day Instagram,
you know some brothers may Allah bless them,
they have every type of social media.
I personally lost count what's coming out.
It's affecting your salawat,
it's affecting
your Ramadan.
Brothers and sisters we might not get another
Ramadan.
The Prophet told us about a salat,
how many hours between Dur and Asr?
When I was one of the youngsters,
When I was wearing the green?
Between Duhr and Asr Takhreeman approximately
4 hours,
4:4 and a half hours.
And the one that's saying all the way
at the back, the old man who needs
to lean on the back because he's so
old and his back hurts and come forth.
I'm going to ask you a question, so
remain standing.
You know when Jibreel came to the Prophet
how
far was he staying from him?
When Jibreel came to
the Prophet
and he started teaching him about Islam, how
far was he sitting?
Jibril was in Makkah and the Prophet was
in Madina?
Where was he? Next
to Shaba. Next to Shaba. Good, you can
sit down.
Faasnadrukbateyilarukbatey
He connected his knees to his knees. What
does that show you that when there's someone
giving you knowledge you try to get as
close as possible
so you could benefit. This is from the
etiquette of a student of knowledge when you're
listening to a khutba, when you're listening to
a lecture, when you're listening to a reminder
you try to get as close as possible.
What was the point I was mentioning?
Now my Asir about Maghrib right. What is
the
time span, the duration between
Asir and Maghrib?
The other question was for you.
Depends where you pray. If you're praying in
this country, it might be. But approximately in
this country,
Nottingham.
4 hours, another 4 hours.
Even though you find that at times they're
not long at all, what did the Prophet
SAW Alaihi Wasallam say?
Either
When one of you stands up for the
prayer then let this person pray the farewell
prayer.
This is another salawat,
you might not reach another salat,
you might not reach
another prayer.
Do we have a guarantee that we're going
to be able to reach Maghrib? I might
pass out right now and my ruh might
go.
Malik al Moad, the angel of death is
not going to bell you or send you
a Whatsapp message, brother get ready I'm coming.
It'll come to you unexpectedly,
bang like that.
You're not going to get a reminder, you
don't have an alarm that is set to
tell you when you're going to be passing
away
or a time span. You know one thing
that you turn gives you 2 hours, no
you don't have that.
If this is not pertaining to salat, that
is right after the Yaba and you've been
told to pray a farewell prayer,
then how about the Ramadan?
Between the next Ramadan is 12 months.
When I was in Medina a couple of
weeks ago, just before the month of Ramadan
started,
and And we see this all the time.
When you live in Madinah, you pray a
janaz and nearly every single after every single
prayer.
And it becomes normal to you. Rather it's
a reminder.
It could be any of us soon.
Sorry?
When you go when you hear the janazil
after every salah there when you go for
umrah
after every janazah,
so every salah you bring a janazah.
I've seen with my own eyes people just
drop like that.
Just before I came someone died inside the
Haram. He went to sleep, the time of
salah they're trying to wake
him up. He doesn't wake up.
He went to the Prophet's Masjid, he came
as a 10er person before me Umrah, he's
lying there.
He's waiting for the next salat,
in his sleep he passed away.
Another individual that I saw outside the haram,
on the courtyard, you know when you go
out to haram you find white floor right?
Someone just there just collapsed,
everyone thought maybe he just dropped some it
happened, no he died.
He wasn't able to reach the next prayer,
So what guarantee that we have that we're
going to reach the next Ramadan?
People
don't realize that before the month of Ramadan
everyone is overwhelmed by excitement, right?
No one expects that he might read your
mind or reach it, it's not in the
back of their minds.
Ibn Umaja, you know, Ibn Umaja?
We have 6 books of Hadith.
2 are the most authentic books after the
book of Allah. Can anyone give them to
me?
That's when I'm going to you know engaging
Ibadat.
This is a very big mistake.
Yesterday I told, same story. Yesterday when I
was in Preston someone told me the story
and then I mentioned in the morning,
when I was giving a lecture in,
Makki Mazlir in Manchester.
He was mentioning a story of, you know
in Misra in Egypt what they do is
every day of Ramadan,
the sisters
what they want to do is they want
to cook harawa,
sweets
for those who comfort tarawih.
So every day a lady takes that day
in order to cook for everyone.
That comes to the Masjid and they give
them out you know these sweets and these
candies or you know one of these ones
they cook not the 1 pea ones that
they sell in the corner shop but the
actual sweet shops you know,
that the you have the Asian people they,
you know,
they tend to make this small.
Hadakulina, long story cut short, there was a
lady
she asked
to cook the halal with the sweets for
on 21 21st.
What they done was they allocated her for
the 27th.
She told them, no why are you doing
this? I want to be the one that's
doing 21st, I chose this.
The next morning do you know what happened
brothers and sisters? She passed away
after 21st.
The point being is that
we might, you know, try to look so
far ahead.
We book our holidays, what we're going to
be doing in 2018, we're in 2017 now,
right?
What makes you think that you're going to
even reach the next
day? So we need to be on our
toes
especially
now. The last 10 days is just around
the corner. You still have a chance
to prepare yourself for the last 10 days
because it was really really difficult. You get
to the last 10 days and then what?
You can't hack it.
It's too difficult. You're not able to stand
for long periods.
The reason why I was mentioning this issue
of social media because Wallahi brothers and sisters,
we are living in a time today that
the person who doesn't, who doesn't
you know,
continuously use his phone, he's looked as an
outcast. Just the other day a brother sent
me a picture, and you know in the
same picture they speak a 1,000 words right?
Someone took a picture of some people who
were standing at
on the railway, what do you call it?
When you get into they're waiting for the
train.
It's inside the station, they're waiting for the
train to come.
There were 6 people there.
5 of them, everyone was on their phones
looking just like that.
One of them was just looking around. You
know what some commented on the bottom of
that picture?
Urgent, urgent,
there is one guy who is still up
to date with reality.
He was on the Snapchat that you have
on the WhatsApp right? The snap. So So
he told him send me the picture because
Wallahi
is Yani,
it speaks Yani Firin,
the reality speaks a 1000 words.
Shasulaimanur
Haydi,
one of the masha'ikh of
the Haram, the Prophet's Masjid, may Allah preserve
him.
He was mentioning a story once,
he said,
I became astonished by what this old lady
done, you know what this old lady done?
She said anybody that wants to enter into
my home
let him leave his phone in that basket
needle door.
She has her kids that come and visit
her once a week, once a week. And
when they do visit
her everyone's on their phone busy.
They are just distracted.
This is why today when you have 4
people sing, 2 people sing with each other,
you have let's just say 2 people sing
at the back.
When you go to them you have to
give salam to 4 things:
him the phone and the other person the
phone.
2 people are sitting in front of each
other and they're not socializing
because this has become another person, it's become
another person that one is busy with. The
amount of marriages this has broken
because of this has broken marriages.
Spouse,
he complains his wife doesn't give him time.
In another place Bil'aq's.
And brother and sisters of Allah you'll be
surprised,
the amount of time that you will save
once you put it to the site,
once you get rid of
it. Use it only selectively in your days.
Now I'm going to read inshaAllah ta'ala
how Samaras Salif they were
when it comes to or when it came
to the month of Ramadan. See how I
mentioned in the beginning, brothers and sisters we're
trying to be like
companions, the tabi'in, the tabi'at tabi'in. In everything
that we try to do,
It's all good saying that we follow the
Quran and the Sunnah,
but what is very very important also to
restrict it with the understanding of the Salaf,
With the understanding
of the Salaf.
I can't bring my understanding,
or my sheikh's understanding,
or another person's understanding.
The Sheikh, that person who went out and
he studied the religion, he's only here to
do what?
To connect you
to what the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
mentions upon the understanding of the Sahaba.
In the Ramadan, how did they adorn themselves?
Because the moment I start giving you my
understanding
or someone else's understanding,
it could be the reason why I become
a lunatic.
And I'll give you an example, I'm going
to be very straight up about it.
Recent not recently, a couple of years ago,
a family member of mine,
she came out in Facebook and she said,
and she's saying this on a World Wide
Web, social media.
Just to show you because of the understanding
you might have of the textual evidence of
the Quran and the Sunnah,
it could be the reason why
you really
destroy your religion.
She came out on Facebook, it was a
sister, Not even a guy, it was her
sister.
She's promoting on Facebook that it's okay,
so go and blow yourself up.
And obviously this hurt, that time I was
still in Yemen, I was trying to, you
know, learn the religion of Allah and because
I know this sister, it's really you know,
it hurts.
I'm asking you, I'm like commenting.
Okay, where did you get this from? What
did you do? How did you come to
this conclusion? She's saying that Anwar al Awlaki
told her this,
conclusion? She's saying that Anwar al Awlaki told
her this.
May Allah have mercy upon him.
You know, everyone has these mistakes
and we ask Allah Azzawajal to forgive everyone
who falls into mistakes
because He gave her the understanding.
And then when you look at the textual
evidence, the way it was interpreted,
you will find that it's been taken out
of context in totality.
He was an individual who used to bring
the Quran and the Sunnah
in many of that which he used to
say but then there was that 10%.
It could be the reason why a person,
he goes and he blows himself up.
Wallahi I know many people that were affected
through this.
The reason why I'm mentioning this, I'm not
trying to have a dig at him, but
to mention to you that because of the
understanding
of certain
texts, it could either make or break a
person.
There was this brother
and asked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to and
I'm going to mention this because it would
really hurt me to see some of these
young kids here,
to go do something crazy
like that. I used to come to Nottingham
quite some time.
Some of you now might know this,
and just so you are wary
and you don't fall into this,
there was a brother who used to come
to my lesson, I used to come to
Nottingham, there's this Masjid on top of a
shop, I think it's called Masjid Sahaba
and I taught a whole book there called
Al Mubadih al Mufida.
There was a brother who used to record
the lessons,
He was a brother who used to record
the lessons
and now you find his name
all over the newspaper.
You see he was from here, from Nottingham.
And I think his relevant that I mentioned
is because the chapter is called what? It's
called Rayyan, and this brother was called Rayyan
as well.
So Shahidu Mir Kalam, the point is this
brother used
to record the lessons and he was very
close, it was from the students that used
to sit here, right in the front.
He was also
the brother who
recorded
when I had the reminder speaking about suicide
bombing.
The suicide bombing, it goes against our religion,
there's so many narrations from the Sunnah.
Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron,
he's going to be punished with it on
your marktiyama.
He uploaded this online.
What happened was
the lessons were stopped because of some brothers
who were very, very rough and tough, some
of our brothers who used to study me
from the Maj,
the people who used to attend the lessons,
they were brothers who were on the fringes
of their religion, some of them newly reverted.
And because of how some of these people
they thought, which was very narrow minded, they
stopped the lessons for whatever reason, don't wanna
go into that. What happened to his brother,
he started being exposed to doubts.
He started being exposed to doubts.
And now SubhanAllah that very brother who used
to come very close to me
and write down the lessons
and was from those who was uploading it
onto the internet and knew the issues. Anybody
who studies me will realize
that
I'm totally against extremism when it comes to
know, killing an innocent soul, suicide bombing, making
a bomb and all sorts.
And then, I don't know what happened to
the brother,
he was imprisoned
for you know making or he wanted to
go and do something like that.
Can you see now the understanding
when you start being exposed to doubts, how
that could change the understanding you have of
certain texts?
Wallahi, I will be reading her. Some of
these young kids that are sitting here for
me to find out tomorrow, oh this is
the brother who used to come to your
lesson,
I will send the article while I was
in his madhina and he really hurt
me. Someone you've been teaching. One of the,
most beloved things to a teacher is that
if his students are benefiting
and I felt this about the brother,
but then when he becomes
misguided,
it really hurts a person.
So the understanding brothers and sisters is not
my understanding, not my sheikh's understanding. When we
used to study, I used to go after
the sheikh, Shaykh where did you get this
from?
It has to be in a Quran as
to how the companions
they understood this.
So how were they salic when he came
to the Quran?
You have al Aswad ibn Yazid, who was
that Aswad ibn Yazid? Aswad ibn Yazid
was
a Tabiri who met Aisha Radiallahu Ta'ala Anha.
He met Aisha Radiallahu Ta'ala Anha and they
say his eye went, he lost his eye
because of what? Excessively fasting.
He used to complete the Quran
every 2 nights in the month of Ramadan.
You'll be somewhat, you know, close to that
once you get rid of social media and
I guarantee you that.
Us now looking at our phones every 10
seconds, every 20 seconds
distracts the person.
Them people in the past they never had
this destruction.
Imam Azuri who is Imam Azuri?
Does anybody know?
Imam Azuri
always find him in the chains of narration.
Bukharim Muslim you find him in the he
was from the most tremendous of the Tabiyeen.
Imam Azuri Rahimullah Ta'ala
he said,
Ramadan
When the month of Ramadan enters it is
only the month which we do what?
We turn to the reading the Quran
and also feeding the Masakin. Look who they
followed, who used to do this? Look what
Abba said.
Ibn Abba is the great companion, he said
The prophet salawas was from the most generous
of people.
He would become more generous when Jibreel used
to come to him and he would teach
him the
Quran. He would be more quicker
in giving charity
than the blowing wind. When the wind comes
does it come crawling?
Comes it swishes past you, right? He was
quicker
Ayn trying to do exactly that,
Tilawatul Quran
and also it's aamu taham to feed them
asakeen.
You have Imam Malik who
knows Imam Malik?
Imam Malik
was one of the 4 great
a imma. When you hear the 4 madahib
one of them is Imam Malik, the other
one is the great imam of Uhanifa,
third one Imam is Shafi'i and Imam Muhammad.
They were from the best and the most
tremendous of those to walk on the face
of this earth.
And then Madahib, these are the former Madahib
that are currently studied all over the world.
Imam Malik Rahim Allah Ta'ala,
itadakhararaman
yafiruminqiratihadith
Allahu Akbar.
Why is the hadith? Can one of the
youngsters tell me,
the kid wearing green.
So is the guy that turns around, you
know, that gets picked. So is you.
The guy that says this? It's always him.
Stand up.
What is hadith?
Hadith.
I've already asked that one. You?
No. Not you. The one next time.
Stand up, stand up.
Okay, he's a bit shy.
You.
Is there a
Is
it a saying of Prophet Muhammadu Islam? No.
When we hear a hadith, it's a saying
of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, it's
a proof, it's a textual evidence.
That when a hadith comes you have to
accept it straight away.
Imam Malik who
was a great Muhaddith,
he had a compilation you know we have
Bukhari Muslim, right?
He had a compilation called Al Muwatta.
His book some scholars mentioned that was it
was the most authentic Kitab,
the most authentic book,
but we just mentioned his Bukhari Muslim though.
Bukhari Muslim came after that, before there was
the Mota of Imam Malik, he was a
great scholar of Hadith, you know what he
used to do in this month?
He used to run away from Hadith,
If you look at it, let's just pay
close attention to this, is he running away
from sin? Is he running away from evil?
He's running away from hadith.
11 months of the year he's going to
be busy with hadith.
This month he said
because it's the month of Ramadan, the month
of Quran, I'm going to busy myself with
the Quran. He used to run away from
the hadith guys because
what?
The month of Ramadan in which the Quran
came down on.
It was the month of Quran.
Sufyan Athuri, again from the most tremendous of
the Tabi'ayn, these are the people that we
need to try and be like.
Came, he would run away from all types
of Ibadat.
He would run away from what? All types
of Ibadat.
Maybe he was
always,
you know observing
salatulduha
or any other Ibarat, his sunan and so
on and so forth
but he would busy himself with just the
Quran
because this month, the month of Quran.
In the last 10 days,
he would complete the Quran
twice. Sorry. He would complete the Quran every
2 nights.
Ibrahim Al Nakha the last 10 days. So
how much
is that? How many times he finished it?
5.
5 times. 5 times.
And in the first twenty,
he will do what?
He would complete the Quran every 3 nights.
So how much does the average out?
20 divided by
6 point something
remainder.
I'm gonna ask someone in case to do
maths now.
Let's see who's good at maths and got
the 8 grade when he was, you know,
some of them are already shaking. I can
see it. The ones at the back.
You know brothers and sisters we have 15
days remaining,
we could still finish the Quran and do
more.
Normally we have 30 days, right?
If a person now,
he
reads 4 pages, 4 pages after every salat,
How much will he finish throughout the day?
The one that's right at the back.
Again look he turns around,
you.
4 times 5 is how much?
20.
How many
pages in each Jews?
If we look at the Saudi prince, 20,
right? That's 1 Jews. How many Jews in
our Quran?
30. So if we do one every day,
what would happen?
We finish the Quran in 1 month.
Okay now we have to step up our
game, right?
We have to get better because
it's
the last 15 days and the prophet salallahu
alayhi is in the last 10.
He used to strive in the last 10
days more
than
what he used to do
throughout the other days.
And also the Prophet Aisha Radhiallahu Wa Ta'ala
Anha she said
In
Urdu they call it Lungi,
Somay they call it Maawis,
he would tighten his belt. Yaani he would
busy himself with
worship in the last 10 days, he would
put his wife to the side, sorry
me and my lord.
So, he needs 15 days if we take
all the mass that we've just been calculating
now.
How many
pages could we do after every salat in
order to finish the Quran?
8 pages. Brothers and sisters, 8 pages takes
maybe
7, 8 minutes
depending on how fast you read
or maybe a bit more. Let's just say
10 minutes.
10 minutes after every salat is how much?
1 hour of your day. How many hours
in a day?
24. 24 hours.
24 hours of your day, compound 1 hour.
1 hour.
I think that's Yeah. Questions. Yeah.
Brothers and and sisters for listening very, very
attentively.
Especially you young, you know, brothers and sisters,
you brothers that are there who we hope
insha Allah are going to carry the flag
to teach the people in Islam the correct
version insha Allah
Thank you very much.
If there's any questions anybody's got any questions?
You know how you said that if the
day is longer, then
you can do more dua. But then, surely,
the night is longer, then you can do
more.
It's like Quran also. That's the type of
du'a though. You could, but I believe that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has, you know,
really lightened upon us people here even in
the night.
The nights are short
because what did the Prophet
used
to do?
Throughout the whole night
he would lengthen his prayers, 4 rakaat, it
would be for hours.
And then he would pray another 4 rakaat,
and then another 3.
And the nights were long.
Now you have a few hours,
hopefully InshaAllah Ta'ala because you can't make it
so long, and obviously Allah Azarul can see
our situation,
hopefully we'll get that reward as well
of being able to form the 11 rak'ah
throughout the whole night and it's only a
few
hours. I remember when I was in Yemen
in the match,
I think Isha was around
8 o'clock.
The last 10 nights were last 10 hours,
what would they do?
From 8 o'clock all the way to the
Fajr they would be praying tarawih.
It's very difficult, naan they all get rewarded.
But because your nights are here, you can't
obviously do anything about it, right?
We're in that situation.
We can't lengthen our nights,
but because we are trying to be fearful
of Allah, as much as Baba trying to,
you know, attain the sunnah, trying to be
like the Prophet as much as we can.
But because of the law we can't do
it. Hopefully Allah
will be very merciful to us.
And we perform the 11 raka'ah throughout the
night even though it's a few hours, and
us, you know, intending to try and be
like the prophet
and how it used to be like his
prayer, even though we can't do it exactly
like his because of the nights, we'll get
that reward insha'Allah.
Any other questions brothers?
If there's none then,
Aki can you just maybe just list the
other 7 gates in Jannah? You know, the,
gate of salah, gate of the Gur. Just
I
I I haven't memorized the hadith. Okay. I
haven't memorized the hadith.
Abdullah ibn Surud he mentioned
Whoever
knows something lame say it. Whoever doesn't know
that thing, the lame say Allahu
Alam. Today we'll lie, we are trialed.
Many people have been trialed. You find in
the cafes, any Tom, Dick and Harry is
coming and he's interpreting the Quran.
You're not just speaking about anyone's speech. If
someone came and said about your mom, she
said this or she said that.
Wadan taqawl, he doesn't call taqawl
where he misinterpreted
her speech.
Everyone here is going to get very upset,
right? If he does that again, we're gonna
find Allah jewels in his mouth.
This guy is speaking about my mom in
such a way, he's saying something that she
never said.
This is pertaining to the creation,
God in the creation.
Imagine Allah as a wala jal and his
messenger,
person has been daqq, has to be very
decisive,
very minute in what He explains.
No.
Yes,
Isa.
What Are you 2 brothers? They are. Yes.
Masha'Allah. See the
resemblance.
What advice would you give to brothers? Because
I know, like, it's exam season and those
who choose not to fast on the day
that they have exams.
Or, like, like, in in order to try
and, like
because they believe that, obviously, when fasting is
hard and it's harder to concentrate, what advice
could you give them? Can I just repeat
the question for the sisters? Yeah.
The brother's asking what advice can you give
to the brothers or the sisters who are
revising for their exams or gonna be sitting
their exams? Should they be fasting and things
like that? Okay.
Firstly, the exams are in the morning. Right?
Or is it in the evening? That is
similar to 1 in afternoon.
Okay afternoon, around what time?
1, 2 o'clock. 1, 2 o'clock, but most
in the morning, right?
Okay,
when does the person normally become so
Just about when we're reaching 8 o'clock, 7
o'clock
you know. And it's a common question that
you find a lot of the kids they're
trying to get a fatwa. I'm not trying
to say you,
but they're just trying to get a fatwa.
When a person has a sihri in the
morning
and he goes to sleep, he wakes up,
most people often don't eat till like after
12 o'clock, right? Lunch time is 12 o'clock.
Me outside the Ramadan,
by the time I reach 12 o'clock I'm
exhausted. I need to digest something.
Akan Akki. That's just me. I'm a skinny
guy and I need to I have a
very high metabolism
and I have to eat.
In the month of Ramadan brothers and sisters,
most of us will agree we can go
maybe 10 hours, 11 hours without feeling anything.
Why?
Take part in the suhoor, eat you know
at the time of sahri
as they call it.
For indeed in the suhoor there's a lot
of barakah. Well my brothers and sisters me
personally,
I don't
drink nothing other than just water.
Until this very day I don't think for
Saturah anything.
And I just there's reasons behind that.
Are you there with me brothers and sisters?
So try and eat those especially who are
going to be,
you know, they've got exams, try and eat
as much as possible
in the time of suhoor. Another thing that
you could do is Istighfar.
Astaghfirullah,
Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah.
Now she has another one but anyways there's
another another verse that says,
When you do, istighfar.
Allah will give you strength above strength.
Try it,
and ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
make dua for him, to him.
Because you have an advantage that the non
Muslims don't have.
They don't believe in Allah, he's not gonna
raise his hands,
ask Allah to help him in his hands
and to give him strength
and you'll be responded to straight away.
Because the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said to
us,
Allah is shy, he's generous that when his
servant puts his hands up to him, then
he sends him back empty handed.
So you're fasting on top of that, The
hadith that we mentioned, one of the means
of your dua being accepted is what?
Fasting.
And on top of that you put your
hands up to him which is another means.
And you ask him through his names and
attributes which is another means.
So on and so forth.
Allah Azzawajal will Insha'Allah Ta'ala strengthen him and
it won't be much of an issue. And
then once you get home go to sleep,
strengthen up.
Nam. Jazaklal here, Thank you very much,
I thank you very much for coming
and giving us your
beneficial knowledge.
We only have 1 minute left, brothers and
sisters. So just to quickly
inform you all that tomorrow, we do have
a school visit,
a school coming to visit the center tomorrow
from 10 AM till 2:30 PM, and they
want to learn about Al Islam.
So one of the things that they want
to witness is seeing Salatul,
Thuhr
in Jamat.
So if any brothers who are not working
and they can make,
make it here for Salatul Dohor at half
past 1, please try to come because you're
gonna have 25 children
and about 5 teachers sitting at the back
there, and they wanna see the brothers praying
in in unity, in congregation.
So please, brothers,
just try to make it tomorrow if you
can. If you're not working,
tomorrow.
Especially the youngsters. The youngsters, if they come
and all the youngsters see these youngsters, they
will think that Al Islam is not just
for old people.
So please remember this is, you know, this
is a da'wah center. It is a masjid.
It is a youth center. It is, a
place where sisters
can come and and, and obviously do their
thing. But also the main thing is that
this is a dawah center, and we should
be giving a lot of dawah to non
Muslims and,
clarifying them clarifying the misconceptions
that are out there on on the religion
of Al Islam.
If you can try to make it with
us tomorrow.
If a person does a mutaamid that he
breaks his fast purposefully,
okay? Without any reason whatsoever, this person is
seriously sinful.
It's a serious sin that he's falling into,
you know. And some of them they said
he has to make it up
and he has to, you know, make tawba
to Allah. But if a person has a
reason because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us,
When
a person that travel or is sick, he
has to make it up another time. It
has been mentioned here. As for this person,
he has no reason.
He has to really make tawba to Allah
You know?
Okay. Let's not delay the, the opening of
the Faso, but this can go downstairs.
