			Brothers and sisters inshallah to Allah, what we
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			wanna quickly discuss in this video
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			is the concept
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam being
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			Hazir Nazir,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			Yaani, omnipresent.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			Is the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			someone that knows the unseen? Does he know
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			their ilm ul ghayb?
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			And inshallah wata'ala because it's a concept that
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			has afflicted many, we want to quickly address
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			it
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			with the Quran and the Sunnah
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			of the prophet
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			Firstly, brothers and sisters, we need to understand
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			The issue of the ghayb.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mention all these
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			ayaat,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			that only he knows the ilmul ghayb.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says in the
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			Quran,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			Say to them, oh Muhammad, I do not
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			have any ownership of any benefit.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			If I knew the unseen,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			I would have been excessive
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			in trying to obtain goodness.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			This is the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			Allah azza wa jal is telling him, Say,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:35
			O Muhammad,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			that if you knew the gheeb,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			then you would have done this.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			And he has come in many other verses
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			as well,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			says,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			say to them, O Muhammad,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			Say to them, O Muhammad that you do
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			not have
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			the treasures of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			And I do not know the unseen.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			Rather this comes twice in the Quran
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			with similar
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			words in another verse,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			in Surat Hud, where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			says,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			Not only once was it mentioned, Rav Allah
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			told his messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			say it twice.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			And there's emphasis on the matinaaw.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			And also,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			And only Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has the
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			keys of the unseen.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			Nobody knows it except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			And there's many many ayaats that we can
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			bring in regards to this matter. Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			wa ta'ala also says,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Say to them, O Muhammad,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			that nobody knows the unseen
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			in the heavens and the earth
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			So brothers and sisters, if the prophet sallallahu
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			alaihi wa sallam was really Hazir Nazir,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			Then why would you ask some questions in
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			trying to find things out?
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			As we're going to be mentioning now a
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			few examples
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			to make this matter more clear.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			When the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam one
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			time went to Al Madina,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			As he came in the narration of Abdulaihi
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			wa sallam al Radhiallahu
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			alhumaha,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be pleased with
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			him and his father as
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			well.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			He headed towards Al Madinah.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			He saw the Jews
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			fasting on the day of Ashura.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			He asked the question,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			Mahaga, what is this?
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			If the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam knew
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			the unseen, and it was Hazir,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			Nazir, Yaani Hadir, and Nadir,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			then why would you ask this question?
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Doesn't it only make sense that the Prophet
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			would know automatically,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			and he would tell his companions after that
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			to do something else
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			if there was a need.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			So they said,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			This is a great day.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:35
			Allah
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			saved Musa
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			from the enemy,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:44
			So they fasted.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			So Musa Alaihi Salaam fasted.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			I have more of a right
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			with Musa than you lot.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			So the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam fasted
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			it, and commanded the people to fast as
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			well.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			The point that I'm trying to get across
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			here, brothers and sisters,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			is the fact that the Prophet
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			asked the question, Mahadah,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			what is this?
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			And he came in another narration,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			a man came to him and he said
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			to him,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			A man came to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			and he said to him, You Rasulullah,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			I have made an oath that I'm going
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			to slaughter in a place called Buwana.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			So the Prophet salallahu alayhi didn't go suspicious,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:36
			Why Buwana?
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			So the Prophet SAWH asked him 2 questions,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			and this is the point, to prove to
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			you that the Prophet SAWH
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			was not Hazir Nazir.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			The first question I asked him,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			In this place that you're talking about,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			did the polytheists
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			used to worship the
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			idols in this specific place that you're claiming?
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			The man said no.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			The second question that you asked him,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			Did they used to have their celebrations
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			in this place that you're speaking about?
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			The man said no. So the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			alaihi wa sallam said him, fulfill
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			your oath. The point is, why would the
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam ask these two
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:27
			questions?
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			If he was Hazir Nazir, and he knew
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			the ilmul ghayb, which is specifically for Allah
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			And the last hadith, bi idhnillahi ta'ala, that
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			I want to mention
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			is the hadith of Salim Nasadin
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			Radhiallahu
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			An.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			I will meet you at the
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			And whoever comes past me,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			he will drink from the hold.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			And whoever drinks from it will never ever
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			be thirsty again. May Allah
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			make me and all of you that are
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			listening
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			from those that drink from the
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			So people will come that I know,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			and that you don't know as well.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			Then there will be a barrier that's put
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			between me and them.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam will say
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			that you law are from me.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			He will say that these people now,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			that
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			there has been a barrier put between
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:46
			Himself
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			and the people, He will say, They are
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			from My people.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			And it came in some other narrations,
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			My people, My people.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			It will be said to him,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			You do not know
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			that which they innovated
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			and did after you.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			So if the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			was Hazir Nazir,
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			then he would already automatically know that these
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			people did innovation.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			They changed after the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			alaihi wa sallam
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			had passed away.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			And he would have said, My people, my
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			people.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			Brothers and sisters, it is important
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			that we rectify our Aqeedah.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			A person, he can be the biggest faqih
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			in the world.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			He can know a hadith memorized inside out,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			whether it's Bukhari,
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			whether it is
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			Muslim.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			He can know the arbaat madahib,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			the madahib of Imam Shafi'i,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			Imam Malik, Imam Abu Hanifa,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			Imam Ahmed, he can have the madahib on
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			smash.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			Know his fiqh inside out.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			But if one concept of his belief
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			is all watery
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:05
			and
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			his belief is not rectified, wallahi,
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			all of these matters will not benefit him.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			That's why the ulama, they say,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			The akhida should come first, if only they
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			knew.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			And insha Allahu Ta'ala, I will conclude with
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			this narration of Abdullah ibn Umar
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			RadiAllahu
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			An,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			when he said,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			he swore
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			by Allah
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			If any of you had liked the mountain
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			of Usherdin gold,
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			and then he spent it in charity. Prophet
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			insisted it takes hours and hours to climb
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			the mountain of Uhud.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			Maybe it is equivalent to 1,000,000,000, 100 of
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			1,000,000,000 of
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			pounds. If he was to get the gold,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			the size of Uhud,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			and maybe convert it to pounds or dollars,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			it would be in its billions.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			This man takes it, and he spends it
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			in the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:25
			Allah
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			will not accept from him until he believes
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			in the qadr.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			Brothers and sisters, the issue of al qadr
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			is one aspect from the many aspects that
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			one needs to believe in.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			It is a pillar from the 6 pillars
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			of an iman. If you don't just believe
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			in 1, then nothing will be accepted from
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:43
			you.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			So us rectifying our belief,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			Just believing
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			that Allah that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			sallam is Hazir Nazir.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			That he knows the unseen,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			which goes against all these aya that we
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:57
			just mentioned.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			Brothers and sisters, it is dangerous.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			It is important that we rectify our belief
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			and know this.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			We ask Allah to make us from those
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			who act upon that which they hear
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			and make this
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			a
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			a continuous reward. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			sallam said,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			Whoever caused the guidance,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			for him is the reward for everybody that
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			does it, and everyone that follows him upon
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			it.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			And it won't take anything away from his
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			road, from his reward.
