Let's move on now to the minor shirk,
which is even more common.
The minor shaykh Abdul hadith
that the messenger salallahu alayhi was telling me
said
That which I fear the most for my
Ummah is the minor shirk.
So they asked You Rasulullah, what's the minor
shirk? He said, Yeah.
He is showing off.
Showing off.
You know when the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam was informing
when he was mentioning this hadith,
he was speaking to the companions.
That which I fear for you the most.
And in some narrations,
Which I fear for you the most. Who
is amongst them? The likes of Abu Bakr,
Urba.
Asman Ali.
Him, he faced for them.
Woe to me and you,
Masakir, poor people,
people who have been nurtured about chicken and
chips from a very young age,
where do we stand?
And with me, brothers and sisters,
this is the greatest people on the face
of this earth.
You have the tabi aino mentioned some Subhanallah
like Sufyan al Thore said, I shut
the alayim in deity.
I haven't wrestled
with more with anything more than my intention.
Why? Because it goes from
you know, keeps turning from place to place
from different situations. He might be as a
say but then he has to fight with
himself.
Shasulaiman Rahayla, one of our teachings in Haram.
A witness is what I will say in
his lesson.
I've mentioned to a lot of brothers.
Shasulaiman Rahayla, teaching the prophets Masjid. At the
end of the lesson he says
that me sitting on this chair, I'm constantly
fighting with myself to remain sincere.
Those who we perceive to be from the
most righteous of those amongst us. Where do
any of us stand? People of the past
they were terrified of their intentions.
And that which has made, you know, riya
showing off so much more easier
is
these phones that we have. These smartphones.
IPhones and the,
what do you call it?
What's the other one called? Galaxy. I'm a
loyal iPhone fan. I don't know anything about
Galaxy. But the iPhone fan which
the iPhones and the different, you know, smartphones
that we have,
every anybody that applies on us,
everybody come look at me. Well, I have
seen this.
Guys walking into the masjid for Isha prayer.
He's recording his feet walking in like that.
It's time for Isha.
Why does he need to show the people
that you're in the masjid attending the prayer?
You want people to mashallah praise and mashallah
they're actually attending the salawat?
That which is even more worse is how
a person is in that posture
of a du'a.
I really have seen this sometimes, you're saying
in the heart of Allah.
You know, one of the things I really
enjoy, I used to sometimes leave Medina, go
to the Kaaba, and just sit there for
hours. It used to bring a lot of
contention and enjoyment to my heart.
Sit there,
you know,
do other things, but just sitting there just
really used to bring a lot of enjoyment
to me.
How many times would I see people coming
just for the camera? I post his hand
up. And as soon as the camera
or the picture is taken, his hands drop.
Did he do this posture
with his hands
for anything other than a camera?
Even if we try to have now good
assumptions,
why did you drop your hands as soon
as the camera moved?
I understand if you're doing this and then
someone came and he pictured you, and he
carried on making dua,
but you only put it up like that
and then as soon as he dropped it.
I'm gonna lie but guys it's so common.
I don't wanna go into whether picture taking
is haram or halal. I always tell the
hajid, I personally believe that picture taking is
somewhat impermissible, but videos are a bit different.
And the kirav is quite broad between the
scholars. You have some scholars who say pictures
and videos both haram. Some of them say
pictures with the phone is haram,
but videos is fine because it's different. And
some of them say that only the drawing
is Haram. But is a kirab that has
been going on and you find that even
within our scholars, the major ones, they're kind
of like different. You know, I don't wanna
kinda go into that. Oh, so the judge
guys.
Because they were aid,
the punishment
undertaking a picture was so severe because the
Messenger said,
Every picture take is in the fire and
you are actually taking a picture.
Who?
Those who who take
pictures. Regardless of what opinion you've taken, you
don't Hajj now. You don't want anything to
affect it. Just stay away from taking pictures
for
this small period and then later on go
take pictures.
I'm not the type to go rough and
tough when it comes to this issue. But
Hajj advised him, please guys, for your own
sake.
Another story that Shah Abdul Rizal Badr, another
teacher in the Prophet's Masjid
recently just before I left,
Haram.
He was going through a book
which was in Muftasar
min Sifat Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam in
his akhlaq,
which was taken from the Kitab of Jawah
al Sahih alimin bid the dean al Mosai.
Option from the 17
section I was taken out.
He was mentioning he was once sitting in
haram.
He was once sitting in haram.
He saw a man walking
in. You know when you're in the Tahiyyah
position,
do you do that
in a time other than the salah?
I'm talking about
You only do that in a prayer. Right?
Is there any other time that a person
would be doing it? It's not like du'a.
Du'a, I can just pop my hands up
anytime. But at the Haifa position, you're only
putting yourself in a position at a time
of the
Because I was praying there,
3 of them moved in.
1 of them goes and he puts himself
in that position like that.
He's going to pray. He didn't go into
the rakah. He just went straight down, but
it's rakah. It went into that posture
like that. There's one guy one side of
the Masjid takes picture.
The other guy from the other side of
the Masjid takes another picture.
As soon as the picture is taken, he
stands up and he leaves.
Guys, there was not even a masjid going
of ikhlas in there.
We would never be the type to say,
oh, Fulan wasn't sincere when he prayed.
Something that is only known what
by Allah subhanahu A'laan in Ta'ala.
When he was saying that Ibarra laihi dhan
wa saqakha that he gave. But this individual
who entered into Naqasha,
which is only normally done in a salah.
But then as soon as the picture was
taken you left, is that an Ibadah in
within itself to go into that posture like
that? It's not an Ibadah. Again, something that
is so widespread brothers
and sisters.
And something that will lie, we
really really really need to be fearful about.
And the Shaitan has plotted
and has worked really hard
in trying to maybe,
you know, assist
this kind of way of just really destroying
your actions and it's more easier to do
so than in the time of the companions,
the Tabia'ilu came after them.
If they were scared and they never had
these ajhizah, these gadgets, where do any of
us stand and things have been made even
more easier.
