He has all given us the tawfiq, the
success
to carry on coming to the masalil of
Allah
You tend to find that many lessons that
start,
you might find maybe 40 people coming first,
and then as the weeks go on,
you find the numbers decreasing.
But as I can see around,
the people are still coming and you find
more brothers coming as well.
This is a bounty by Allah
upon us all.
So it's upon us
to keep thanking
Allah because of these that he has bestowed
upon us.
Allah says in the Quran,
And when you think Allah he will increase
you in your bounties.
And Allah will not take this bounty out
or remove it from all of us.
Only after us removing or doing something with
ourselves or changing
ourselves.
Like Allah
mentioned in the Quran.
Allah
doesn't change the people until they change themselves.
So this is something great,
And my request to you is to carry
on coming to the lessons
so we can all benefit,
And thereon, we can benefit the Ummah
by us learning the deen, then spreading the
deen of Allah
And we should also try to the best
of our ability to benefit while we are
still young.
Most brothers here, you can see, Ahi, they're
still young. They're still at the early stages
of their lives.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he said,
said,
7 categories of people
will be under the shade of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, the shade of the throne of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The day when there's no shade except his
shade.
And he mentioned from them,
A young
person who strove
in worshiping Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And another category
that is suitable for us to mention now
is
a man
whose heart was connected to the
So by us connecting ourselves to the masajid,
and likewise striving and to learn the deen
of Allah
we all hope we go under the category
that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he
mentioned.
In from this week,
we try to move into the book called
the Most of you have this book in
front of you.
It's a very simple book,
which includes in many great foundations of the
deen.
And you find in this book
3 main things.
These three things, inshallah,
we'll be learning it
as we move on inside the book.
And if you was to flick through the
book, you'd find
that a lot a lot of the issues
mentioned.
The sheikh has tried to nurture the people
in learning the proofs.
This is what makes this book different from
many, many of the other books.
In any issue that he comes to,
he mentions an issue, then after that, he
mentions a proof.
The reason that the sheikh had done this
Why?
So a person, when he speaks,
when a person, when he acts,
and likewise, when a person, when he teaches,
he can mention the proofs to the people,
and so that his plea becomes stronger.
So that his plea,
especially when giving dawah is stronger.
And if you find inside the book, when
you look inside the book,
you would find that the sheikh has started
by mentioning tawhid.
The first thing that he started with was
a tawhid.
We have to ask ourselves, why has the
sheikh started with tawhid and never started with
a fiqh
of salat,
of Zakat,
of rakay,
or Adab, etcetera.
The reason why the sheikh started to hid
is because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
the first order he gave in the Quran
was based upon Tawhid.
Allah says in the Quran,
Allah says in the Quran, Oh people,
worship your lord.
And a person cannot worship Allah
except
with Tawhid. Very, very important that this Tawhid
is established.
And the first prohibition in the Quran is
what?
To stay away
from the thing that
removes the or destroys the which is
To associate partners of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
he says,
And do not
make partners of Allah
while you know it.
And, also,
from the Hadith in the
the Hadith of the prophet
if we was to look at it, we
would find
that the prophet started
with
Tawhid before anything else.
This shows the importance of Tawhid
and the precedence it takes before anything else.
When the prophet
sent Muad ibn Jabel, to
Yemen,
the first thing he told him
to call the people to was
to worship Allah
to testify that no one has the right
to be worshipped except Allah
This is the first thing that he ordered
him to do.
Then he said to him, if the people
there accept this,
then call to then call them
and make them understand that Allah
has made obligatory upon them to establish the
5 daily prayers.
And then he told them to call them
to zakah
till the end of the hadith.
So we can extract from this hadith
the importance of this issue of tawhid.
If we was to start our dawah
or our calling to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and start teaching the people fiqh, for example,
Always teach them how to pray.
And we leave the tawhid aside.
This person that learns how to pray,
might not have to hid.
And because of this, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will not accept his prayer. Because why there's
no tawhid? When
we worship Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has to
be based upon what? Singling out Allah
You find people that are very, very strong
in the field of fiqh.
Then at the same time, you find the
they call onto Allah.
Has his benefited him? The answer is no.
Because why he had no tuhid?
You find many people also,
they speak bad about those
who constantly call the people to Tawhid.
They say, okay, all these people, they talk
about shirk, shirk, shirk, shirk, etcetera.
They talk to us like we don't know
how to worship Allah.
This is what they say.
Rather, we had Ibrahim Alaihi Salam.
The individual
that broke the Islam, the statues.
This is what he said.
He swore by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he's
going to break the Islam.
And in the end, he did it.
And you find him at the same time,
the Imam of Tawhid, the scholar of Tawhid.
He says, he makes dua to Allah
Prevent me
and my offspring
to associate partners with you.
He is fearing for himself now to what?
To fall into shirk.
To go back to worshiping the aslam, the
statues.
If this is the case of Ibrahim
the individual that tried to destroy
and actually destroy the shirk at his time.
So how do you think our situation is?
Don't you think that we need constant remindings,
reminders
regarding Tawhid,
and you find those that criticize
the people that call the Tawhid constantly,
you find they have a lot of tafsir,
shortcomings regarding this issue.
They've left it off so much, and at
the same time, they fall into basic
mistakes in Tawhid.
And likewise, you have the prophet
He makes dua to Allah.
He
says, oh Allah, I seek refuge
in and likewise in poverty.
The chapter
of what?
Fearing to fall into shirk.
And then he mentioned the proof that I
just mentioned earlier.
The ayah of Ibrahim when
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala quotes him and he
says, oh Allah, prevent me
and my offspring
from falling into shirk.
So this is something very very important,
and it's from the affairs and the aspects
that complete the person's to
hid. You had
He was from the heads of the He
feared for himself Nifaq.
He feared for himself
hypocrisy.
This is the Khalifa Torah, this is from
the Khalifa Rashidin.
The second best person after the prophet
The best person after him was who? Abu
Bakr. Then after him
was He grabbed
after the
prophet told him, told Hudayfa,
some of the time. He grabbed him. He
said to him, did the prophet
mention me from them?
Fearing for himself that he's fallen into this
big act
of kufr, of nifaq,
etcetera.
This is why
The fear of a person
that his actions become fruitless, not accepted.
And at the same time, he doesn't know
it.
If this is the case of the salaf,
the
don't you think we are foremost
to be studying the Tawhid day and night?
That alone is enough for us to be
studying it day and night. But at the
same time, we have to teach the people
and likewise learn Allah affairs of the deen.
So we just try to shed light upon
this because why?
You find a lot of doubts going around
regarding this issue.
People not appreciating Tawhid
and respecting it how it should be respected.
And likewise,
some of the reasons why you find a
lot of the ulama when they start their
books, they start with
to hate. Because
is the most
biggest of sins.
The biggest sin that if a person was
to do it and die upon it, Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala will not forgive him.
Allah
doesn't allow you to associate Allah
does not forgive if a person associates partners
with him.
But he forgives everything else.
If a person now was to be drinking
all his life,
smoking weed, using heroin,
fornicating
I'm not saying this is something permissible, you
can go do it.
But you're going to be under the will
of Allah.
There might be a chance that he might
forgive you, and there could be a chance
he won't.
So we shouldn't take the risk anyway.
Okay? There's a chance that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala might forgive us if we die upon
that,
If we commit the most major of sins.
But if we was to die upon shirk,
then in this case, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will not forgive us.
And a person would abide
forever in the hellfire.
Like Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
Quran.
Allah says in the Quran.
He
has been related to me and those before
me. If a person was to commit shirk,
then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will make all
his actions fruitless.
And Allah says in the Quran
And Allah says in the Quran, and the
one that associate partners of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has prohibited
for him to enter into what? The Jannah.
So whose situation is more worse than the
one that drinks or the one that the
answer is the one that commit shirk.
Because there's no chance that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala will forgive him if he dies upon
it.
So this is why the stress
so much
in trying to divert the people
from worshiping other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
into what? To
Tawhid. And likewise, Tawhid is the bigger of
the major sins.
Like we mentioned earlier, the prophet
he said,
inform you of the major of the major
sins, the Sahaba then asked, where is it?
He said
And likewise,
when people will be interceding
for people,
This person that has died upon shirk, he
will have no intercession.
The day of regret, the day when no
one has anything,
Except to Allah
has decreed for him. Allah said,
The intersession of the interceders will not benefit
And likewise, if a person wants to come
a shirk,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will not accept his
actions until he leaves it, and Allah will
leave him.
For example, now I'm in this dunya.
I'm committing many, many good things, And at
the same time, what? I've committed shirk.
In this case, even if I'm doing these
all these good things, Allah
will have left me off, and and likewise
will not accept my
good deeds.
The kuffar now. Some people they say, they've
got very good akhlaq.
They're very very, like, you know, masha'Allah. They've
done this, they've done that, they've done this.
All these things that these kuffar they're doing,
which at the same time they're worshiping other
than Allah. It will not benefit them.
Their good
their good behavior,
They're good actions will not benefit them.
Because why the prophet
he said, he was narrated by Muslim.
I am the most not in need
of people associating partners with me.
Whoever does an action and he associates partners
with me in this action,
then I leave him,
and I likewise leave his action. This person
will be left,
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will not turn
to him.
So these are only some of the things
or some of the reasons why
the stress so much in trying to establish
the heat.
And this is the sunnah of the prophet
This is the occupation
of the Anbiya.
The first one they came to or they
called to was what was to hid.
Allah says in the Quran,
we have brought up
or brought forth from every,
from every people, a messenger
in order to call them to the deen
of Allah to establish
Tawhid, to worship Allah and to stay away
from the and
the like a compromise or a general definition
is everything that is worshiped
besides
Allah This was the occupation.
This is what the prophet
when entering into the markets
used to call to. He would say
he'd be walking around in the markets. Saying,
oh, people, say
and you will be successful.
And because of this kalima,
this thing he called to, the Tawhid, he
was stoned.
Until you would find his feet bleeding,
When he went to Uzweta to Tubuk
oh, when he went to Tubuk, sorry.
He went to Tubuk in order to call
his people.
Taif. Taif. Nam. Sa Sa.
He he went to Taif, and he's trying
to call his people.
To what? To Tawhid.
They stoned him so badly that his feet
would be bleeding.
And all he did was what? Call the
people to and his answer would be at
the end.
Oh Allah forgive my people for indeed they
do not know.
So this is the thing
that the
those that came after them,
the scholars.
And likewise, the scholars of this time,
the Sahaba,
the prophet
stressed to do all their lives, to establish
Because if you establish tawhid,
this is when everything else comes after it.
You find success because of what? A tawhid.
And also, Yachuan, something that I really want
to mention also,
that when studying knowledge,
okay,
if we have something in our heads,
if we have a problem, or we don't
understand something that is being taught,
we should try to the best of our
ability to ask.
Mujahid,
one of the students, Ibni Abbasi, said, 2
people, they do not learn.
The arrogant one and the shy one.
Why doesn't the arrogant one learn? Because he
thinks he knows it all.
We are all Jahil to some extent, ignorant
to some extent.
Whether it is our scholars, whether it is
the major scholars, everyone is Jahil Basit. They
call it Jahil Basit.
Ignorant to some extent.
Is there anyone in this dunya that's learned
everything?
That knows everything. The answer is no.
Even the scholars, they are in a position
where they're still learning. There's things they are
they they are learning.
As for the second type of jahal, it's
called jahal muraqab.
The jahal person, the arrogant person that does
not wanna learn. Whatever you're telling, you won't
accept.
This is the displaced
type of Jahal.
So we all go under what the Jahalba
said.
We are all in need to learn.
Especially when we're learning, you find a lot
of ishtalat, a lot of problems. Sometimes,
you find this proof, or it doesn't go
with the other one, so we have to
try and solve this problem. But if we
don't ask ourselves or even our brothers, we're
never gonna learn this.
This is why Mujad
said, 2 people they do not learn, the
arrogant one and also the shy one.
Having shyness
in the deen
or in the knowledge.
And then he used as proof
the statement I just mentioned earlier of Mujahid.
And he also mentioned the statement of Aisha
Radiullah Anha.
She said the best of the women are
the women of the Ansar.
Why? Because shyness never prevented them
from having an understanding of the deen.
Because why they used to ask?
She asked the prophet
can a woman have a *?
When he said to her, naham, she put
her hand on her face.
Meaning, she got very very shy.
This is a woman, she's asking a man,
in this time, it will be very very
abnormal.
You wanna find that happening.
But at that time, they're trying to get
an understanding in the deen.
So she asked him and the prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam he told her.
And also, another thing that a person can
do if he's shy to ask a question,
he can ask his friend to ask for
him.
This is what
he done.
And his hadith is in Buhari.
Used to be a person which frequently,
they call it in the English language, emotional,
user,
like, they call in the English language something
called.
In the English language, it translates as a
very, very, you know, these terms they use
in the university and
emotional
discharge or something like that. It's called that.
Okay? And he used to get this constantly.
So he was shy to ask the prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He asked someone else to
ask for him.
Okay?
So this is life from the ways, if
a person has any problem,
he asks his friend in order to ask,
so we can solve this problem that person
has.
It's called what? Okay. Urethral discharge. Yeah. Because
I looked it up in the translation. I
couldn't find like
a and, it said emotional urethral discharge or
something like that. Yeah.
And Inshallah now,
we try to move into the lesson of
today.
Just a small summarization of who the sheikh
is.
The sheikh's name is
Abu Abdul Rahman, Yahim Ali Hajuri.
He
is from the scholars of Yemen.
Those
that grew up in Yemen,
but
he went to Saudi
to study
some of the knowledge over there.
He memorized the Quran
in Saudi Arabia, and likewise studied
some parts of hadith
in Saudi Arabia.
Then after that,
he tried to seek more knowledge. The sheikh
was very, very eager in trying to seek
knowledge because he was nurtured upon this at
a very young age.
His father, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala preserve
him, is still alive.
He used to try to get them at
a very very young age in order to
study the deen.
And likewise, used to be very eager
in trying to make them pray
with the
And the biggest thing that will sadden him,
if they miss the jama'ah.
This is where it's mentioned
in his biography.
So when the sheikh was studying mister Uddiyarabia,
he wanted to carry on and seek a
knowledge.
So we heard about Sheikh Mughbel, which was
in Yemen.
Sheikh Mokbel is from the famous scholars of
Yemen.
So when he heard about this,
the Sheikh left Saudi Arabia in order to
go to Yemen to study with the Sheikh.
So this was the time when the Sheikh
really really expanded in his knowledge.
Began to learn Naho, Arabic grammar, a hadith,
many many fields in the deen.
And this was a very very small Masjid
at the time.
It could have been maybe a bit smaller
than this. Sheikh Mohammed will have a very
small Masjid.
He never begged in order to get a
bigger Masjid. Rabbi was the blessing of Allah
for teaching the deen that a lot of
came about. He had a very small masjid,
and then he started
to become
bigger and become,
more expanded.
As the students became very, very many.
So when the sheikh was studying with the
sheikh,
there was a time
when the sheikh sometimes would not be able
to attend a lesson and give a lesson.
So he would leave
behind in order to teach the people.
When the sheikh passed away
because the sheikh,
at that time, had many, many scholars at
his disposal.
He could have chosen anyone to start teaching
the people.
But his decision was based upon Sheikh Yahya
taking over and becoming the new
teacher, Adar al Hadid with the Maj.
So at this time,
Sheikh Yahya started teaching many many of the
lessons,
and more students started coming from all over
the world.
It became very, very well known around the
world.
You find people from all types of cultures.
Eritreans,
Ethiopians,
French,
white people, black people,
all types of people,
coming from their countries in order to go
study with the Sheikh and to go gain
the knowledge that is found there.
With all the places I've gone.
Because while I travel around in Yemen, I've
seen most of the Marrakis.
Likewise, going to Saudi Arabia to check it
out over there as well.
But never have I seen a place like
in the Maj.
Maybe around 20 to 25 lessons open up
every week.
You can study a of a hadith,
of tawheed,
of
all at one time.
This lesson finishes the next week on number
20 a hadith.
From the morning to the night, you find
what? Many many lessons at your disposal.
But by the of Allah
the place where the Sheikh was teaching
was attacked many times.
Like maybe a good 4 years ago,
the people that are around there, because it's
mostly
like you find the whole province of North
Yemen, is taken by Shias.
And this little this little village is the
only Sunni
province there.
Many times they tried to attack it, but
they failed.
Maybe 4 years ago, they had a big
war with the Daulah, the government.
That finished.
Then another 2 years later,
they tried again.
They sieged the people over there.
But alhamdulillah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala helped them
to go to get through it. And then
recently,
there was the last siege,
where they turned the whole masjid
into a beehive. I I think you all
know a beehive, it has many many holes
in there. They try to destroy the place
so that this knowledge is not there to
be found anymore.
So in conclusion, basically, what happened now
is that the people,
they left this place.
15,000
people who left their countries in order to
study the deen of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
they left this place, and they basically went
back to their villages, They went back to
different cities.
And the place we used to know has
to be a Dar al Elm, a place
of knowledge, is not there anymore.
This is what they've been doing for the
last few years, planning in order to destroy
this knowledge.
This is the this is the reality that
is taking place.
The sheikh now, at the moment,
many people have come up to him in
order to make a new markaz, to make
a new place where they can study.
And Allah
knows best what will happen,
and where the
new place of knowledge will be.
The
the
author has started with the
This is from the recommended acts
of the deen.
That when a person starts to write
a book
or a letter, that he starts with the
This is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
done in his Quran.
You can find every Surah start with the
best except
for what? Surah the Tawba.
And likewise,
when he wrote,
he began with the best Allah
says, The
is the
when he began to write, he started with
the best
because why are you trying to seek blessings
from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?
Even the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam when he
wrote to Hercules,
or in the Arabic language, they say, But
in the English language, I think they say
They they they call it Hercules. Yeah.
When he wrote a letter to him in
order
to submit
and to embrace Islam,
he started with the basmalah.
So this is something recommended
when a person writes a book or writes
a letter that he does.
The
says, all praise is due to Allah.
Much good blessed praise.
I bear witness
that there is no deity
that has the right to be worshiped except
Allah alone,
without any partner.
And I bear witness that Muhammad is his
slave and messenger.
This is also from the sunnah.
That a person when he does a Khutba
or when he writes a letter and likewise
a book, that he starts with the Khutba
etcetera.
The prophet
when he used to start his he will
start it like this.
In schools, they teach you how to write
a letter. That you do this, you put
the title, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Here we have now,
like a way to write a letter in
the Islamic form.
So the first thing that person can do
is what? Write start with the best and
then after
And this is now considered to be a
very Islamic formal
letter.
To proceed,
Allah
says in his noble book,
were you witnesses
when death approached Yaqub?
When he said to his sons, what will
you worship after me? They
said, we will worship your god,
the god of your fathers,
Ibrahim and Ishmael and Isha.
One god and to him he submits.
We have a great lesson in this.
Ya'qub alaihi salatu wa salam, while he's on
his deathbed,
he's trying to inform his kids, his offspring,
to carry on the tawhid.
He's not telling them, my land over there,
if I die, I'll be split between you
lot.
No. The most important thing is trying to
mention to the people what is tawhid.
Because a person can divert from it very,
very easily.
Oh, I never told them, if you get
married like many many people they say, before
they're dying, I want my kid to get
married to Fulana,
from this tribe, or from there.
Or I want my kid to go to
uni.
Last words.
They have forgotten
You have them
trying to think about the, affairs of the
dunya.
And we have a great lesson in this.
And likewise, the prophet
just remembered.
When he was on his deathbed,
from the deathbed that he never stood up
from.
He said,
He said curse. May the curse of Allah
be upon the
the
Because why they took the graves of the
masajid?
He's trying to mention to the people what?
The Tawhid.
Because why this is the related Tawhid?
These Jews and the Christians that took the
as
places of worship. I mean, the graves as
places of worship, like the
they were committing shirk.
They were committing worship to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
The Sheikh says, and he has been authentically
reported from the hadith of Ibn Abbas,
That he said, I was riding
behind the prophet
one day when he said,
this shows the humbleness of the prophet
He was the prophet, and the same time,
he had ibn Abbas behind him.
On a camel.
You find it's very very rare with people
that have high status between the people.
They think it's embarrassing to have a little
kid behind them, or to walk with a
little kid. They think too big of themselves.
This shows the
the humbleness of the prophet
because he wrote
with a young boy.
He said, oh, young boy,
verily I'm going to teach
you some phrases.
Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect
you.
Be mindful of Allah, you will find him
in front of you.
When you ask Allah
when you ask, ask Allah.
And when you seek help, seek Allah
help.
This is a very very important foundation.
When you ask, ask Allah
You find many people, when he's struggling with
a problem,
then he goes running to the people.
Or when he becomes ill, he goes running
to the doctor.
When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the shafi,
he is the one that accused all sicknesses.
The doctor only gives you a medicine. He
can't put a cure in your body.
Allah says about Ibrahim
And when I become sick, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is the one that accuse me.
Rather, what we should be doing is turning
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala firstly.
Then after that, take the the causes.
And likewise, when a person loses his money
or he has no money, the first thing
he thinks of what? I need to go
back to the housing
association. I need to go to the job
center to ask for money.
He has forgotten Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
the
provider.
As soon as money is finishing,
he's running to the in order for him
to give him money.
We should be going to Allah
and asking him, begging him to give us,
because he's the one that gives everything.
Some people they take haram
fearing what? They're going to die in this
country.
They have 2 books. They call it the
2 books.
Even one time I heard on the radio,
Tony Blair was saying
that some of
the people here,
he dislikes them very, very much. Why? Because
they have 2 books.
2 benefit books.
The wife, she says what? I'm single.
She tries to claim benefits.
The father says what? I don't have anyone.
He tries to clean benefit. So they're getting
independent benefits
in order for what? To get more money.
Lying in order to do this.
Fearing if they don't get benefit, halas, they're
going to die.
It's only from the shaitan that he scares
the people,
trying to make them fear that they're going
to die, which is absolutely nonsense.
A person doesn't die until his
has finished, like the prophet
he said. So what we need to do
is connect our hearts to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala firstly.
Not
There
are only causes
that Allah has put them there for.
Rather the almighty,
giver,
and the provider of Allah
And when you seek help, seek Allah
help.
Know that if the nation were together together
to benefit you with something,
they would not benefit you except with something
that Allah
has already prescribed for you.
And, if they were together,
together to harm you with something,
they would not
harm you except with something that Allah has
already prescribed against you.
The pens have been lifted and the pages
have dried.
This teaches us about the decree of Allah
That everything is already decreed.
They've all the people in this dunya tried
to attack you, or tried to do something
to you, and and it's not written for
you, it's not gonna happen.
And say to them,
you are not going to be afflicted with
anything except for what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
has prescribed against you.
Something that I witnessed,
just remember now, I would like to mention
to you a lot.
In the last Hajj,
my dad takes groups to Hajj in Umrah.
In Hajj time, on the day of Arafa,
when we was leaving,
there was different groups there.
And a woman
from our group,
she fell.
Basically, it was her last moments of her
life. She fell.
And there was a group there
which had more than 30 doctors.
We all know how many you know, we
all know the doctors,
what they can do.
Okay? That they have a lot of knowledge
regarding these issues of pharmacy, and they can
try, you know, do something.
All these doctors, which were around 30 doctors
at that time,
came to surround her. These were all her
judge. They're committing, they're trying to perform
the Hajj.
So they came to surround her in order
to help her.
Then I realized that day, and likewise told
my dad,
if the people could ever have done thing
done something, the doctors have had healed this
person.
But it wasn't written for her.
That shows Bani Adam cannot do nothing. If
something that Allah
decreed.
30 doctors.
When do you find 30 doctors in one
place trying to do something to 1 person?
That's very, very rare.
And they're trying everything.
You find this doctor, he tries, he goes.
He can't do nothing. The next one comes.
He can't do nothing. The next third one,
etcetera.
So this shows that
cannot benefit you
if Allah
has decreed for you something else.
It's a very important thing.
And likewise, when we're afflicted with afflictions,
we have to be patient. These things have
to happen.
And we have to be pleased. We try
to be pleased
and also accept that this is something Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala has decreed 50 1000 years
ago.
And we can't do nothing about it.
Says, and we will
afflict them, test them.
With fear.
Allah will
test us with a loss of wealth, and
likewise wealth,
and give us many things.
But those that will get glad tidings are
those that are patient.
These things are very, very important.
Some people when they're afflicted of something, they
go hang themselves.
Or he checks themselves off the
however, like, a very high point. I think
the brother was telling me the other day,
there was people here. There was a woman
here.
She jumped off the car park or something
like that. It was here.
Because why? No iman.
They don't know that this is something Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has decreed for them. Maybe
she was afflicted,
or maybe she went through a lot of
depression,
and she's thinking, what? What am I gonna
do?
Had she known the deen of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala?
Things might have been different.
Had she known the Quran? Had she known
the
ayah that talk about his Iftilaat. These,
afflictions,
etcetera.
So this is something very, very important
that a person should keep in his mind.
The pens have been lifted and the pages
have dried. Meaning everything is already decreed, and
no one can change it?
The Sheikh then says,
so this verse and hadith, and the likes
of them,
are a basis
for teaching the children
comprehensive statements.
In the oneness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Because why Ya'qub is telling his children? He's
teaching his children.
And likewise, ibn Abbas, he's trying the prophet
will send me strength to teach.
Some people they say I remember one of
my family members said this to me. He
goes, why don't you only grow your beard
or start learning the deal when you're old?
This is what some people they think. That
you only learn the deal or you only
need to learn the deal when you're older
or when you're bigger,
etcetera.
This is not correct. Rather, the has
to be started very very little.
Because why do people get used to it
then?
If I tell a person now after he's
been living for 50 years, he's been doing
something for 50 years,
Do this now. It might be very very
difficult for him.
This is why the prophet said,
Order them to pray the salat when they're
7.
But hit them when they're 10.
Why? So a person can get used to
the prayers, and likewise the is very very
young. And it doesn't become difficult for a
person when he's older.
Okay.
Teaching the children comprehensive
statements
in the oneness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
and teaching how to worship him and comply
with his
ordinances.
And reply upon him and fear him,
and to have faith in divine
preordainment.
Meaning, the Qadr that we just talked about.
Everyone wants to come together in order to
hurt you or try to do against you
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decrees something else,
it wouldn't happen.
The good and the evil
thereof.
So this is the correct Islamic education
which is hoped
for who, for he who is brought up
upon that he becomes from the best of
the righteous slaves of Allah
This is what prompted me to write for
my small children.
May Allah rectify them and rectify others through
them.
These simple phrases in the elementary principles of
tawhid and aqeeda and fiqh backed by proofs
from the Quran and the Sunnah.
Hoping from Allah
that he benefits
them by it and the rest of the
Muslim children.
And with Allah is a success.
The Sheikh first is
authored this book
or published this book for his children.
But because of maybe
Allah
knows best of his sincerity in his book
when authoring it,
Allah has made a very very famous book.
You find many people all over the world
buying this book in order to teach themselves,
and likewise then their children.
Because why? It consists of very very basic
things of the deen.
Of that many people are unmindful of.
This is what the Sheikh
started
his authoring with in order for his children.
But, subhanallah, you find many many people when
they go to that place
of the Majd. This is the first book
they start with.
And it makes their basis very very strong.
Then after that, what this book is something
like,
stepping stone between the rest of the books.
And you're all going to come to know
when we go through this book, the importance
of it.
And inshallah, we'll just take a few
questions from the book and then we carry
on next week.
Because, I think we've taken a lot of
the time already.
Number 1.
When it is said to you, who created
you?
Say Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has created me,
and he has created
all of the created beings.
And the proof is a statement of Allah
Allah is the creator of all things.
Number 2,
when it is said to you, who is
your lord?
Say, Allah is my lord and the lord
of all things.
And the proof is the statement of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And his statement
All praise is due to Allah,
Lord of all that exists.
And request from the brothers,
when we go through these simple questions that
they memorize the proofs.
It's only a few ayaat. It's only a
few lines.
So when we teach the people and we
teach our
close relatives
and those that are far from us, we
can mention to them the proofs.
When you mention to a person a proof,
and when a person doesn't, you find a
big difference.
Because why? The proof has some sort of
emphasis upon the person. If I don't mention
anything to him, my statement is like the
statement every of everyone else.
Everyone will come with their own statements,
and everything is gonna become like a chaos.
But when I have like a proof, a
very clear proof regarding any affair,
this issue ends there and then, in most
cases.
Sometimes you find some messiah that have.
Okay? Like messiah, etcetera,
which is very, very broad sometimes. But in
most affairs, especially in the affairs of the,
if you have your proof, it's very, very
simple and clear. This will makes us different
from the rest of the people.
You find in these first two questions that
the sheikh started off with,
he begins to talk about
the oneness of Allah
in his lordship.
The oneness of Allah
in his lordship.
We all have to believe
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the almighty
creator.
The sustainer
and the control of all affairs.
And there's no one with him
doing anything like this.
Allah
is the one that
provides for you. All these other people that
give you money, your workplaces are only causes.
They are not with Allah
providing for you.
They have no choice and they have no
ability in this.
Unlike with another important affair which is related
to this,
it is not it is not enough for
a person
to be a Muslim if he only believes
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the almighty
creator.
We're going to come to this and you're
going to understand this better.
The more we move on into the book.
If I come along now and I say
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the almighty creator,
sustainer,
giver,
provider,
etcetera.
The affairs are related to his lordship.
This is not enough for a person to
enter into Islam.
Because while we have in the Quran many,
many statements
that Allah
says
to the Quraysh.
He says Allah
They will say to Allah.
They knew Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the
bigger creator.
They acknowledge this affair
of lordship.
But at the same time,
they committed shirk in other affairs, like in
worship.
I hope I'm not going too far. Does
everyone understand what I'm saying? Yeah?
Okay.
They will say that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is the almighty giver, creator, sustainer,
etcetera. Many, many, many in the Quran related
to this.
So now we understand from this,
we have to believe in the lordship.
But if we was to believe in it
and not believe in anything else, it wouldn't
be sufficient.
And it wouldn't make us a Muslim.
Is that
the Okay.
So to Allah, I think the time is
finished now.
I hope everyone has the ability. I think
you all have the books now to memorize
these three lines or these 3 ayat
and also the question.
And inshallah, when we memorize this question, it
will make us stronger and likewise increases in
knowledge.
Because the used to
say, the 2 things are very, very important
for a student of knowledge.
The first thing, memorizing.
The second thing is having fam.
Because if a person has understanding
and he can't memorize, what's he gonna tell
the people?
He can't mention the Ayat.
He can't mention the Hadith.
Okay?
I think it's Abdullah ibn Masud.
He said,
The most knowledgeable of us was the one
that memorized the most things.
Okay? Because when a person has knowledge in
his head,
he can discuss and likewise mention to the
people wherever he is. You can't be carrying
around your books wherever you go.
For example, when I go to Saudi Arabia
or go to the other side of the
world, someone asked me something. Am I gonna
tell him, no, I forgot the books at
home? I can't tell you. No.
But we have our memorization with us. We
have the ayat with us. We have the
hadith with us. We can establish dawah
anywhere
we go.
So this this is why memorization is very,
very important.
And likewise, then comes the fam, the understanding.
If a person just memorizes all day and
he doesn't know what the Quran is talking
about
or what the ayat he's memorizing is talking
about, there's also no benefit. Because why? He
doesn't know what to do with it. What's
he gonna do with the ayat?
So these these two things are materialized.
Each one necessitates the other
are very, very important.
So,
when we study this book, we're gonna be
taking very, very little by little,
not giving you a whole load at one
time.
We try to memorize slowly, slowly,
and also come to the lesson, and we
have memorized what we just took in the
previous lesson.
And inshallah, that's enough. If anyone has any
question related to what we just took,
then,
you're free to
inquire.
Let's not try to be shy. Yeah?
Yeah. He has a book called Al Kabair.
Okay. He mentioned the law of Kabair.
Okay?
And some of the element, they go like
a general rule that from the Kabair,
if there's a threat of 4 things.
For example, whoever does this, then he will
be threatened with this. And I'm gonna mention
the 4 things.
If there's
a of Nar,
like a threat of the hellfire.
Meaning, whoever does this will enter into the
hellfire.
The second thing,
If the prophet
said or Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, whoever
does this gets cursed.
Or has the curse of Allah upon him.
Like cursing the Sahaba
and whoever does
other acts, there's many acts like that. Sorry.
Say it again.
Allah says in the Quran,
And he forgives everything else other than shirk.
Whether I was to smoke or
No. If you kill someone now Without reason.
Without reason, and you make tawba to Allah,
you ask Allah for forgiveness,
he will forgive you by the will of
Allah. Yeah. Who won't forgive you? Okay. That
person.
Okay. They even say
the the rights,
sometimes between you and Allah.
Sometimes between you and the and sometimes within
yourself.
Okay? You or
between me and you? Yes, I know. Yeah.
He said, don't you
Yeah. But with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, I
have to ask this person for forgiveness.
Because, you know, Tawba has 4 shirot.
Yes. Tawba has 4 shirot.
Imam Nawi mentioned in the first
one. That person has to make Tawba. Seek
forgiveness.
Second 1, he has to be regretful.
3rd 3rd one, he has to,
make the decision. He never goes back to
it. Okay? And the 4th one, it only
applies if it's connected to someone else. For
example, now I stole from someone or I
killed someone.
Okay?
If I stole this camera from this person,
it is not sufficient that I do the
first three and not do the 4th one.
I have to seek forgiveness from him and
give it back.
You get me? Okay.
Yeah.
Basically, your brother, you're trying to say that
the one that kills? Brother, I understand that
really what what you said. Yeah.
Okay.
If you're trying to say that,
killing,
allow and forgive it. Are you trying to
say that also?
That if you kill someone, Yani, it's like
the same as
okay. Inshallah, can we sleep after? Yeah? Can
we yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. What they want
Okay.
Now inshallah, we discuss another time inshallah. Okay.
Okay. The kabayr.
Yeah. The first one, if there's a threat
of on there, Me, whoever does this gets
cursed.
2nd thing,
3rd thing,
For example,
the one that fornicates,
he will be beaten with 80. Okay. Etcetera.
Or the one that fornicates and his musan
is married, he'll be he'll be
killed, stoned.
Okay? Things like that. And the 4th thing,
if the prophet
said, whoever does this, I'm free from him.
Okay? These four things are mentioned in the
even the like we mentioned the ayat before,
it is not the same as what? As
shirk. There's
a chance, but we don't know if Allah
will forgive us. They believe us to do
it, he might forgive
us. Okay?
But they made Tawba. They made yeah. But
they made Tawba. If I yeah. Okay. I'll
I'll mention to you now. If I was
to, for example, now a person,
he's been committing shirk all his life, for
example,
and then he makes a reference to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He will forgive you because
Allah says in the Quran
Yeah. Yeah.
Because Allah says in the Quran
Allah says, oh Muhammad, say to them,
oh, oh, oh, slave of Allah
those that have transgressed
against themselves.
Okay?
Okay. Basically, the brother told me to clarify
that those that commit
we don't say the kufar. That is incorrect.
That's that's not correct. Yeah.
Yeah. But we don't say that's not from
the.
Okay.
Inshallah, brother. The more we gain to the
book, the more we talk about it. Inshallah,
the more we understand and the more we
learn better. And
we discuss it after. Yeah.
Tell me the lesson. Yeah. By ignorance. Yeah.
But they are still continuing, and they do
not repent. Yeah.
No. You know, if a person if a
person commits shirk, okay, he doesn't
I mean, he nullifies the
Okay, inshallah, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Basically, if the person commits
a shirk, just just nullifies Islam.
Because what does it mean?
That you testify that no one has the
right to be worshiped except Allah.
This person now is worshiping Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, something else.
This nullifies his Okay?
But he has to make This person has
to make
in his lifetime.
Then Allah is He will forgive
him. But the is the condition he has
to make tawba.
Okay. Basically, you're trying to say, okay, that
the guy has been brought up
by his men committing shirk and it's the
same time as a Muslim. For example, going
to going to
Okay? He uses that the Quran has been
basically conveyed to the people.
You find that the Quran is between everyone.
And you find basic
hadith, basic ayat,
okay, related to these affairs. For example, not
to go to a grave, to go to
a grave, and to worship other than Allah.
If you was to open the Quran, it
would be very very clear.
Especially if a person is reading the Quran
daily.
And at the same time he's doing it,
you know, he could fall under this that,
you know, the
I mean, he falls into the, onto the,
yeah,
The the proofs have already been established to
him. You know?
Okay. Yeah. That's very good point. The prophet
mentioned the Hadith, there's a Hadith, the prophet
told
it's not. It was they told him,
man, Right.
That the right upon the person is to
worship Allah
and not commit shirk.
Then he will enter into Jannah. So the
Sahabi said, shall we not tell you inform
the people?
No. He said to him, don't inform the
people. They'll become very, very,
complacent.
They mean if I tell the people now,
if you commit to aid, you perform to
aid, you can enter into Jannah. Some people
might say, now what? I'm gonna say,
and I'm gonna do whatever I want. I
might enter into Jannah.
So he leave off what many of the
actions of the deen. Again, he becomes very,
very complacent,
and
you find it becoming very, very lenient in
other affairs.
Okay?
So
some of these hadith, even Imam Bukhari, he
mentioned this in
the. Whoever selected some knowledge
to some people,
fearing they won't understand.
Some people, you can discuss some things with
them, and they will understand. Some people, they
won't. If I tell this hadith to some
people, they're gonna say, what?
I believe in Allah. I believe
in
Get it? They're gonna get very, very complacent,
and they're gonna do whatever they want.
So this is why some of the ulama,
and likewise the prophet also, he told Mu'ad
not to tell the people,
fearing they're gonna become very, very complacent. So
you try to select some of these affairs
to only some people,
fearing they won't understand properly.
Did you get it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Please could you explain the position of free
will regarding the Hadith of and
the
50
before he created the heavens and earth by
50 1000 years.
Okay?
This hadith, if you look at the end
of the hadith, he said, if all the
people were to come together in order to
hurt you or try to do something to
you, they will not be able.
Except if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have decreed
this.
Okay? So basically, everything that is going on,
we don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow.
Okay?
But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does.
All these things have already been decreed, and
we do not know. And we can't stop
it as well. But at the same time,
a person has a will. Some people they
say
Allah has already decreed for me that I'm
gonna commit today.
That's what they say. Because why the decree
is already written?
But the thing is at the same time,
a person has a will.
He has a will to do things. You
don't know Allah has written.
For example, before he's going to a woman,
he's going to say Allah
is already written. You don't know that. You
know, some people they say
I'm
a will. He says in the Quran,
From whoever from you, wills
to go on the straight path.
Allah affirms for him what? That he has
a will.
And whoever wills, he can remember,
etcetera. So a person has a will and
at the same time, everything has been decreed
but a person doesn't know what he has
been decreed and at the same time he
has to strive to do a good deeds.
Forgive me your brothers.
