00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Let's move on now to the minor shirk,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			which is even more common.
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			The minor shaykh Abdul hadith
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			that the messenger salallahu alayhi was telling me
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			said
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			That which I fear the most for my
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			Ummah is the minor shirk.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			So they asked You Rasulullah, what's the minor
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			shirk? He said, Yeah.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			He is showing off.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			Showing off.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			You know when the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			sallam was informing
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			when he was mentioning this hadith,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			he was speaking to the companions.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			That which I fear for you the most.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			And in some narrations,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			Which I fear for you the most. Who
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			is amongst them? The likes of Abu Bakr,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			Urba.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			Asman Ali.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			Him, he faced for them.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			Woe to me and you,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			Masakir, poor people,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			people who have been nurtured about chicken and
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			chips from a very young age,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			where do we stand?
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			And with me, brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			this is the greatest people on the face
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			of this earth.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			You have the tabi aino mentioned some Subhanallah
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			like Sufyan al Thore said, I shut
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			the alayim in deity.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			I haven't wrestled
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			with more with anything more than my intention.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			Why? Because it goes from
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			you know, keeps turning from place to place
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			from different situations. He might be as a
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			say but then he has to fight with
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			himself.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Shasulaiman Rahayla, one of our teachings in Haram.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			A witness is what I will say in
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			his lesson.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			I've mentioned to a lot of brothers.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			Shasulaiman Rahayla, teaching the prophets Masjid. At the
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			end of the lesson he says
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			that me sitting on this chair, I'm constantly
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			fighting with myself to remain sincere.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Those who we perceive to be from the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			most righteous of those amongst us. Where do
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			any of us stand? People of the past
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			they were terrified of their intentions.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			And that which has made, you know, riya
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			showing off so much more easier
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			is
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			these phones that we have. These smartphones.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			IPhones and the,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			what do you call it?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			What's the other one called? Galaxy. I'm a
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			loyal iPhone fan. I don't know anything about
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			Galaxy. But the iPhone fan which
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			the iPhones and the different, you know, smartphones
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			that we have,
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			every anybody that applies on us,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			everybody come look at me. Well, I have
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			seen this.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Guys walking into the masjid for Isha prayer.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			He's recording his feet walking in like that.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			It's time for Isha.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			Why does he need to show the people
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			that you're in the masjid attending the prayer?
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			You want people to mashallah praise and mashallah
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			they're actually attending the salawat?
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			That which is even more worse is how
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			a person is in that posture
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:55
			of a du'a.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			I really have seen this sometimes, you're saying
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			in the heart of Allah.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			You know, one of the things I really
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			enjoy, I used to sometimes leave Medina, go
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			to the Kaaba, and just sit there for
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			hours. It used to bring a lot of
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			contention and enjoyment to my heart.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			Sit there,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			you know,
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			do other things, but just sitting there just
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			really used to bring a lot of enjoyment
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			to me.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			How many times would I see people coming
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			just for the camera? I post his hand
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			up. And as soon as the camera
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			or the picture is taken, his hands drop.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			Did he do this posture
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			with his hands
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			for anything other than a camera?
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			Even if we try to have now good
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:36
			assumptions,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			why did you drop your hands as soon
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			as the camera moved?
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			I understand if you're doing this and then
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			someone came and he pictured you, and he
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			carried on making dua,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			but you only put it up like that
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			and then as soon as he dropped it.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			I'm gonna lie but guys it's so common.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			I don't wanna go into whether picture taking
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			is haram or halal. I always tell the
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			hajid, I personally believe that picture taking is
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			somewhat impermissible, but videos are a bit different.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			And the kirav is quite broad between the
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			scholars. You have some scholars who say pictures
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			and videos both haram. Some of them say
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			pictures with the phone is haram,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			but videos is fine because it's different. And
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			some of them say that only the drawing
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			is Haram. But is a kirab that has
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			been going on and you find that even
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			within our scholars, the major ones, they're kind
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			of like different. You know, I don't wanna
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			kinda go into that. Oh, so the judge
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:27
			guys.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			Because they were aid,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:31
			the punishment
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			undertaking a picture was so severe because the
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			Messenger said,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			Every picture take is in the fire and
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			you are actually taking a picture.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			Who?
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			Those who who take
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			pictures. Regardless of what opinion you've taken, you
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			don't Hajj now. You don't want anything to
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			affect it. Just stay away from taking pictures
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			for
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			this small period and then later on go
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			take pictures.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			I'm not the type to go rough and
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			tough when it comes to this issue. But
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Hajj advised him, please guys, for your own
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			sake.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			Another story that Shah Abdul Rizal Badr, another
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			teacher in the Prophet's Masjid
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			recently just before I left,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			Haram.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			He was going through a book
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			which was in Muftasar
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			min Sifat Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam in
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			his akhlaq,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			which was taken from the Kitab of Jawah
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			al Sahih alimin bid the dean al Mosai.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			Option from the 17
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			section I was taken out.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			He was mentioning he was once sitting in
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			haram.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			He was once sitting in haram.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			He saw a man walking
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			in. You know when you're in the Tahiyyah
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			position,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			do you do that
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			in a time other than the salah?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			I'm talking about
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			You only do that in a prayer. Right?
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			Is there any other time that a person
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			would be doing it? It's not like du'a.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			Du'a, I can just pop my hands up
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			anytime. But at the Haifa position, you're only
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			putting yourself in a position at a time
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			of the
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			Because I was praying there,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			3 of them moved in.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			1 of them goes and he puts himself
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			in that position like that.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12
			He's going to pray. He didn't go into
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			the rakah. He just went straight down, but
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			it's rakah. It went into that posture
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			like that. There's one guy one side of
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			the Masjid takes picture.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			The other guy from the other side of
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			the Masjid takes another picture.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			As soon as the picture is taken, he
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			stands up and he leaves.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Guys, there was not even a masjid going
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			of ikhlas in there.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			We would never be the type to say,
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			oh, Fulan wasn't sincere when he prayed.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			Something that is only known what
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			by Allah subhanahu A'laan in Ta'ala.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			When he was saying that Ibarra laihi dhan
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			wa saqakha that he gave. But this individual
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			who entered into Naqasha,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			which is only normally done in a salah.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			But then as soon as the picture was
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			taken you left, is that an Ibadah in
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			within itself to go into that posture like
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			that? It's not an Ibadah. Again, something that
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			is so widespread brothers
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			and sisters.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			And something that will lie, we
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			really really really need to be fearful about.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			And the Shaitan has plotted
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			and has worked really hard
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			in trying to maybe,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			you know, assist
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			this kind of way of just really destroying
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			your actions and it's more easier to do
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			so than in the time of the companions,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			the Tabia'ilu came after them.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			If they were scared and they never had
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			these ajhizah, these gadgets, where do any of
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			us stand and things have been made even
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:34
			more easier.
