Not worthy of sitting here. The masanjal are
not just for practicing people. Don't let it
be that this is the first and the
last time that someone comes because you're staring
down at them
due to them
not fitting the dress code that you are
used to see
at the best people coming here regularly.
Does that make sense for brothers and sisters?
1st and foremost, I just want to take
a moment out to thank the
administration of the Masjid.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
reward all of the coordinators.
We had brother Fahim,
Fahim or Farhan. Keep mixing the two names
up.
Fahim.
Fawaz, sorry, not even both, subhanAllah.
Our brother Fawaz, who was in close contact
with
some of our brothers
trying to set up this program.
It took days nights because of the time
difference. I know it wasn't easy.
May Allah reward
every single individual involved
with excellence.
Also, I just want to make a special
mention,
Sheikh Hamdallah
who is a pivotal part of this community.
Some of you guys might not know him
but
and I don't know much about him as
all except that every Christmas period
we benefit from his
outstanding
reminder that he gave
about Christmas and we send it around,
hoping that at least InshaAllah Wa Ta'la
the people they withhold from taking part in
pagan festivals.
If I'm not mistaken, You Sheikh, he was
the 1st graduate
of Al Madina here in the West, the
first.
You guys all came to attend the gathering
of Abu Tamia.
It was very young compared to the Sheikh.
I think I am graduate number Allahu Alam,
right? He was the first one.
You guys have people of knowledge amongst you,
graduates from different universities, learned individuals,
be individuals and people that benefit from what
you guys have.
The third point that I want to mention,
my brothers and my sisters, and I've been
saying it at every lecture,
and I'm going to keep on saying
it, Walillahi Alhamdu Al Mina. And I thank
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
At many of the programs that I've been
delivering across the UK and outside of the
UK,
likewise here in Canada, we've been getting some
of the biggest drug dealers,
trappers, and rappers
all attending.
Many sisters who normally don't practice,
who might not wear the hijab, they've been
coming to these programs.
There was even a sister that messaged me
saying
that Friday night she was clubbing and on
Saturday evening she was in my lecture.
Should we make these individuals feel as if
they are not worthy
of coming to the masjid?
Should we push them away my brothers and
my sisters just because
they are going through certain challenges
or they are maybe at different stages of
their journey?
Of course not my brothers and my sisters.
Allah tells us,
Wa * masajidalillah.
The masajid, they belong to Allah.
It doesn't belong to me, it doesn't belong
to the administration,
it doesn't belong to the imam.
It belongs to Allah and every single individual
is welcome.
It doesn't matter what you're
doing in your life,
You should feel comfortable walking into the house
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
at any time.
Even after you have walked out of the
club to go for fajr,
no one should make you feel
uncomfortable coming to the house of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Right?
So please my brothers and my sisters,
don't be the reason why one is made
to feel
not worthy of sitting here. The masajid are
not just for practicing people.
Don't let it be that this is the
first and the last time that someone comes
because you're staring down at them due to
them not fitting the dress code that you
are used to seeing
at the masjid when coming here regularly.
Does that make sense my brothers and my
sisters?
After my lecture yesterday in Khalid bin Walid,
a brother came up to me, we took
him in our car,
and he started talking about how he used
to sell pills to other youngsters.
He was selling these pills to other youngsters.
And today,
in the masjid,
he saw those that he was selling these
pills to.
And he goes, I felt so heartbroken.
It was like a huge burden was on
my shoulders. What do you advise? What do
I do?
You got these kind of people coming my
brothers and my sisters,
people who want the reminder. The fact that
that individual comes,
it honestly shows that there is goodness in
their heart, that they want to better their
understanding of the deen. We were in Montreal
and this wallahi it really really broke my
heart. Four sisters came up to us after
the program.
3 were wearing hijab, 1 wasn't.
The one that wasn't wearing hijab, she asked
the question,
Brother, please advise me how I can deal
with my mother
who challenges me about the hijab. She doesn't
want me to wear the hijab,
and she started getting very very emotional.
There are people like that that come to
these gatherings
hoping to take something away,
So please don't make them feel uncomfortable.
Point number 4 my brothers and my sisters,
and I think this is extremely important.
I want to make it crystal clear that
I am not a hate priesta.
I do not incite violence.
From the videos that you guys have watched,
do I incite violence?
Do I incite hatred my brothers and my
sisters,
right?
As the enemies of Islam always do,
whenever there is some goodness that Muslims are
trying to spread, they are trying their utmost
best to shut down these programs.
And with me, it was no different.
Even in the UK,
I did this whole university tour, 27 universities.
And you had those blue haired feminists,
right, and the rainbow team trying their utmost
best to shut down the programs.
And guess what? They failed miserably,
they fell flat on their faces. And here
we are again, they're trying the utmost best,
right? I want to also make it very
clear
that
I am not anti Semitic,
right? In fact,
my father-in-law is actually Jewish,
for those who didn't know that. Whenever he
comes over from France,
I take good care of him, I put
a hole in my pocket
because of how much money I spend on
him.
I take good care of him,
right? Just because we have different views
and opinions based on the scripture,
That doesn't necessarily mean that we incite violence
or hatred,
right? They will keep on trying and trying
to shut down the skhrer, they will try
to bombard
the organizations and the masajid
to shut out this goodness.
Right?
And I just want to thank and show
appreciation to all of the organizations.
And likewise this one, I know it comes
with a level of heat.
Right?
Fearmongering
tactics are used to scare the masjids.
Don't do this, don't do that.
Bullying them around. But alhamdulillah, I always thought
that Canadians were soft,
right? Not a single one of the masajid
even budged the single bits.
Jazaakum Allahu kayran, wabarakallahu fiqum.
Canadians have a special place in my heart.
Right?
In today's lecture, my brothers and my sisters,
I want to speak about turukhushaytan
fihghwaal insan.
The different tricks and the traps
that the devil has up his sleeve
in order to mislead
every single one of us.
What we need to understand, my brothers and
my sisters, is that the devil is out
there to get us.
Today I will mention 6 tricks that the
devil has up his sleeve
when looking to misguide
every single one of us. But before I
do,
the devil
has set out
to alter 2 things my brothers and my
sisters.
He wants to ensure that 2 things are
distorted,
and this is mentioned in the Quran.
Most specifically in Surat Al Nisa, the chapter
that speaks about women.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
tells us about the devil who took an
oath.
He took an oath my brothers and my
sisters, imagine now an enemy across the road
to where you live
takes an oath that he's going to break
into your house, you are not going to
sleep.
You are going to ensure that this doesn't
happen, you will call the police, you will
do this, you will do that. The devil
my brothers and my sisters, he took an
oath, fabi'azetikala'uhuya
nawmajma'een
He swore by Allah Azzawajal's might that he's
going to mislead
every single one of us.
So Allah tells us in Surat An Nisa,
What is the first thing that he said?
He's going to make sure that he misleads
us. How is he going to mislead us?
Is it mentioned at the end of the
verse?
Waman yatakidashaytanawaliyyan.
Whoever takes the shaitan as a wali, this
is now a matter of aqeedah, a matter
of belief.
Alwala'u albaraa,
he's going to make sure that he distorts
your aqeedah, your creed, your belief.
He's going to ensure that He strips you
of your faith,
right? This is what He has set out
to do.
The second thing my brothers and my sisters,
He's going to ensure
that the creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is distorted.
To be more clear,
the outer appearance,
this is what He has set out to
do. You see the outer appearance?
Let me ask you all a question.
This verse is being mentioned in Surat An
Nisa,
right?
When you look at both male and female,
who tends to change and alter the outer
appearance more? Is it male or female?
To be honest my brothers, if I say
it, I might get called a misogynist.
Who tends to alter the outer appearance more,
the male or the female?
Not you guys, let me ask my sisters.
Is it male or female, sisters?
Jazaakumlakhir. Nose job, lip job, eye job, eyebrow,
forehead, everything.
Right? And even the 'is'
- Sahih.
Allah mentioning it in Surat al Nisa' didn't
happen by chance.
He
is alerting and notifying our sisters more specifically.
Does it mean it's only specific for the
sisters?
No, my brothers and my sisters.
Am I wrong to say that men are
altering the outer appearance as well,
chopping and cutting things off?
Especially now, my brothers and my sisters,
while the world is becoming so so colorful,
isn't this in full swing?
Is it only specific for women? No, it's
not.
Right?
It is not, my brothers and my sisters.
A lot of things are being altered and
changed.
Right?
And if you look at the connection between
the 2, changing the outer appearance and then
also the belief. Let's be honest with ourselves.
When one now dresses a certain way or
he puts on a certain
type of dress, right? Or clothing
or alters the outer appearance, there is a
sense of belonging.
They begin to feel that they have a
sense of belonging to a particular group. Am
I wrong to say that? They will fit
in a lot more easier,
right?
You look at a little child now my
brothers and my sisters when you
clothe the child with army clothes.
To make something very very clear, I forgot
to mention at the beginning.
Just in case we have CNN or Fox
News in the crowd.
Right?
I'm not here recruiting when I talk about
army clothes for the child.
But you go to the shop and you
buy what? Army clothes and then you what?
You clothe him with it. What's the first
thing that a child is going to do?
He's gonna start doing this.
He's gonna start making the gun signs, ah,
you put army clothes on him.
A 2 year old or a 3 year
old, you put the hijab on her, what's
one of the first things she's gonna start
doing? She's gonna go to the pray mat.
The way we dress and how we
make our outer appearance, my brothers and my
sisters, goes a very long way,
right? With who we fit
in and what we end up doing thereafter,
right? So the devil has set out to
alter these two things, my brothers and my
sisters. Now things are falling into perspective.
The next verse that I want to mention,
Allah says in the Quran,
what you read Duna and Tadeal Asseebil.
Haven't you seen the People of the Book?
Right? And the People of the Book were
given a portion of knowledge, they had knowledge,
they knew what they were doing.
It wasn't out of ignorance.
What did Allah tell us?
They buy
misguidance and deviation.
They spend their money
to spread deviation and misguidance, my brothers and
my sisters.
And they want you to go far far
astray,
right?
If this is being mentioned about
the people of knowledge from the people of
the book,
right? And this is just me quoting, Abu
Tamia doesn't have his own views and opinions
guys.
As long as you quote the scripture, you're
fine.
Go ask your solicitor and lawyer.
As long as you quote the scripture, everything
should be perfectly fine.
Here Allah is telling us about the People
of the Book, the Christians and likewise the
Jews.
This is what they do as per the
scripture, the Quran.
If this is being said about them, how
about anyone else?
How about anyone that's not religious?
Right?
Does anyone know how much America spent
in 2021
on making the world so colorful?
Does anyone know?
Is it in its 1,000?
100 thousands? Is it in its millions, billions?
Does anyone know?
A lot of people are saying billions. Do
you guys agree?
You're all wrong.
Right? It's in its trillions.
1,400,000,000,000
they spent in 2021
in ensuring that the world becomes a very
colorful place.
1,400,000,000,000
brothers and sisters,
right?
The whole system when you think about it
and we wake up to it, my brothers
and my sisters.
When
Islam is spoken about,
it's freedom of speech. Right?
You burn a particular flag, it's a
crime. It's illegal.
Look how the Quran is being burnt in
Sweden.
Right? The Quran is being burnt, is being
set on fire.
Right? Freedom of speech. But when it comes
to burning the Swedish flag And let me
make it clear.
Right? I'm not encouraging anything like this. I'm
just quoting the reality of the matter.
It is illegal.
Someone came up to me yesterday after lecture
and he showed
me 2 posts that he had, and I
took a
picture of it.
Right?
He says, 2 teens arrested in burning
of pride flag in Mississauga.
Is that how you say it? Mississauga.
Police says
And then he shows me another page. It
says,
It is illegal to burn the Canadian flag
in Canada.
Right?
We have
these different rules and regulations
wherever you go,
right?
But when it comes to the Quran, will
it be the same type of reaction, my
brothers and my sisters?
When you want to speak about Al Islam,
right, in a negative manner, do we get
the same reaction,
right?
Sometimes we think that liberal values are actually
in our own best interest, or is it
just? So everyone is protected except Al Islam.
We will come unto all of that insha
Allahu Ta'ala my brothers and my sisters.
What we need to understand my brothers and
my sisters in the messengers salaam alayhi wa
sallam told us this 1400 years ago. He
said, min asharathisa
From the signs of the Awa, Ida, knowledge
becomes less.
Ignorance becomes prevalent, Wayadhar al Jahal.
Wayadharalzinazina
becomes extremely prevalent as well. I think everyone
knows what zina is. Right? Sexual * outside
of marriage.
I was in Edmonton and I'm just quoting
again, I hope it's not like that here
in Toronto,
right? I went to Edmonton, they said to
me that here in Edmonton, the parents, they
encourage
their children to have these haram relationships.
The sister will come home and she's with
Mark or John.
And she's saying, Dad,
this is what?
This is my new boyfriend, and he eggs
her on.
Right? He eggs her on, encourages her, Mafi
mushkilah.
No problem whatsoever.
Right?
And then the hadith came to mind, zina
becoming extremely widespread.
Wyakthurulharj
and likewise killings and taking innocent lives will
become so widespread as well. Right?
This is the state of the end of
times.
Shaitan's
plan is in full swing,
changing and altering the creation of Allah and
your belief.
He wants us to be ignorant.
Right?
He wants us to be without knowledge. Ibn
al Jawzi, rahmatullahi
arahi, who died in the year 597,
he said, ialam. No.
An Nawwala Talbizah,
oh An Nawwala Talbizah
Iblisah Al Nas.
Right?
The first deception of Iblis upon the people
was to take them away from knowledge.
It was
to busy them away from Knowledge or to
discourage them from Knowledge. A lot of people
think that when we seek Knowledge,
you only do that if you want to
take a career path in that. If you
want to become the next big Sheikh, that's
only when you seek knowledge. No, my brothers
and my sisters.
Right? It's not like engineering or pharmacy or
this and that.
Even the doctor and the pharmacist is in
need of knowledge, otherwise he can't function in
this world. Wallahi my brothers and my sisters,
Uqsimobilahi
lawim I get contacted by doctors,
pharmacists,
engineers,
multimillionaires,
right? They've made it.
We all want to be like that, right?
This is what we encourage and there's nothing
wrong with becoming a pharmacist or becoming a
doctor. In fact, it's great. You're a big
benefit to the community.
However,
right? They are going through so many challenges
in their lives,
they become
victimized to
their environment
and they're crying out, 'Please brother help me.'
I feel spiritually dead and empty.
Right?
And sometimes I think to myself, SubhanAllah,
if this brother had just a little bit
of knowledge
regarding his situation,
then maybe he wouldn't find himself like that.
For those who came to Khalil bin Walid,
Priyhandirikim to Khalil bin Walid Abu Hurairah.
Ajib, only 10 people.
20.
I thought everyone was following me around.
Masha'Allah, tabarakAllah.
In Toronto, there's a lot of Muslims who
want to hear Khair. May Allah honor every
single one of you guys.
I read out
personal messages that I received on my Instagram
from brothers and sisters, right?
Who fell victim to a zina. You know,
sometimes
when we say don't do zina,
people turn around and think, Aqislam man, Islam
is always tying us down, is always giving
us a hard time,
stopping us from having fun,
right?
Why can't I just enjoy myself, go to
the club? These non Muslims seem like they're
having a great time, but then, Islam, Islam,
Islam. We talk about Islam like some human
being.
I read out a statement or a message
from a sister and then also brother, Wallahi,
brothers and sisters. And they will tell you,
and I don't want to go into it
because it's gonna take some time me reading
it.
The brother said, please help me 6 times
in a message.
I'm heartbroken, she dumped me. The sister likewise,
16 years of age, I've been dumped. I
can't stop thinking about him. I'm depressed. I'm
sad. I'm miserable.
This is the state.
When we say to you guys, don't do
x y and z, you think, oh, why
is this guy so conservative and so traditional
and so rough and tough, right? Go do
as you wish, my brothers and my sisters.
The balls in your courts.
Go enjoy yourself,
sarcastically speaking,
right?
And then see the consequences after that, And
then you will wish, right, that I listened
to that advice.
Everything that Allah tells you to do and
that which He tells you to stay away
from is in your
own best interest whether you see it or
not.
Right?
So he says the first deception of Iblis,
to block them away from knowledge. Why? Li'anaalalmanur.
Because 'ilm is a light,
right? It helps you navigate and maneuver around
fitna to Shubuhad, the fitna of doubts, and
the fitna of temptations.
We just went through Surat Yusuf.
You know when the lady tried to trap
Yusuf
and she said, Let's get it on. Hey,
tellek.
All of the different things that Yusuf done
in order to protect himself. Tasilm guys,
They walked away. At least now, if I
find myself in a compromising situation,
I know how to operate.
I know how to fortify and protect myself.
Ibn al Juzi says, the * almanoor.
'Ilm is a light.
Saeedaatfa
amasaabiham
khabbatomfilthilamikefisha'
Once this light is switched off,
just like if you switch off the light
inside of your living room with all the
tables there, what happens? You'll start tripping around,
right? Your trip here, left, right, center, sah.
You will struggle to stay on your feet.
Likewise, if you are in a forest and
there's no light,
no torch, you're gonna see yourself tripping up.
Yeah. 'Ilm is like that, Awamankana
matin
fa'ahiina,
Allah says, haven't you seen the person who's
dead?
But We brought him back to life. Brought
him back to life with what? With the
Quran and the sunnah. The 'il my brothers
and my sisters,
We gave him a Noor, we gave him
the torch which allowed him now to navigate
when it was dark.
That's with 'il, my brothers and my sisters.
Now you can maybe compare our situation,
right, to the darkness that is being spoken
about.
That which was from the Musa lamaat,
things that were non negotiable in our religion,
now it's being what?
Discussed. Walala. Am I wrong to say that?
Matters that were non negotiable
because we are being bombarded with it,
right, it's becoming the mainstream view.
We're thinking, oh, maybe they do actually have
a point. Maybe 50, 60 years ago, it
was unheard of, this kind of something.
Right?
Also, ibn al Jazir Ahmad Tulaia alahi in
his Kitab Tal Besis,
he says, al babul a'am al ladhiyat kholo
minu Iblis
alanazhu
wal jahl.
The greatest gate that shaytan
creeps through to mankind is ignorance.
Right?
He gets through this door, creeps through it
to the ignorant very very easily,
but he cannot get to the knowledgeable person
except by
pickpocketing him. You know theft?
The guy who's trying to pickpocket you, he's
gonna make sure that he moves very very
carefully, then comes behind you and then what?
Slips it out of your pocket.
But if you're ignorant, he's just gonna come
like this,
straight to your face and you're not gonna
know how to navigate around it.
Right?
The more 'ilm you have, the more difficult
you will find
to get through to you. The more ignorant
you are, the more easy it's going to
be.
Are your brothers and sisters with
me, right?
Now we know.
A person who's knowledgeable, he's gonna struggle with
him. You don't know he's gonna come to
you from every single direction my brothers and
my sisters.
Now what are the 6
tricks that the devil has up his sleeve
in order to misguide you? And by the
end of these 6
tricks that we will come to know about
my brothers and my sisters, you will indeed
know
where you stand
with the devil.
The first, my brothers and my sisters,
Youqulu laka oqfar,
he will try to get you to disbelieve.
Right?
He will try to get you to disbelieve.
You disbelieve Kalas,
he will be at peace,
he will rest.
Walam yahamilakahamma,
he will stop paying too much
focus to that individual as disbelieved,
right?
Go for Khalas, it's the worst possible sin.
If you die upon disbelief, if you die
upon shirk, game over.
However, if one dies upon a tawhid
but he had sins, he's under the Will
of Allah. Allah may choose to forgive him,
Allah Azaw may choose to punish him for
it, but sooner or later He will come
out of the Hellfire. As for Khufar, no
chance.
Right?
A lot of the time, my brothers and
my sisters, when we speak about Kuforn Shirk,
the first thing that comes to mind is
prostrating to an idol.
This is not the only type of shirk
that the shari'a came to wage war against.
In today's day and age, my brothers and
my sisters,
right? In today's day and age,
kufr,
right, comes in different forms and types.
As the world changes, as morality shifts,
right, different types and forms of disbelief.
Even Allah 'Azawhiya tells us about
the devil, right?
When He took an oath,
says, Thummaalatyanam min bayna idim, wamin kalfim wa
anaymanim wa anshama idim.
I'm gonna come from the front, I'm gonna
come from the back, I'm gonna come from
the left and the right. What does it
mean I'm coming from the front? Abdullah ibn
Abbas. Who's Abdullah ibn Abbas?
Who's 'Abdullaib n Abbas'?
Guys, these are not trick questions.
Sorry. I can't hear you.
No.
He is the cousin of the prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
We don't just take any person's understanding when
it comes to the Quran and the sunnah.
We need the companions' understanding my brothers and
my sisters. This is how we worship Allah
and this is how we understand our deen.
It's not what Abu Taime thinks,
or what my Sheikh thinks, or what your
Sheikh no. Quran sunnah? Companions.
Right? 'Abdullaib Nabas, he explained what this means,
the devil coming from the front. He said,
'Ushaqikkohumfi
akhiratim.'
I'm going to give them doubts about the
hirafah.
And then him coming from the right it
means,
Ushabihu
alayhim umradinhim.
I'm going to give them doubts
about their religion.
Him coming from the left means, oraghibuun
fidunya.
I'm going to get them enticed with the
glitters and the glimmers of this world. This
is where their main focus will be till
they forget Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Right? This beautiful lie, it will be so
to them.
And then him coming from the back, my
brothers and my sisters,
right?
I say,
You moruhum biha. Well, you
say, Younu halahum.
Evil deeds, he's going to beautify it.
That which is filthy and evil, He's going
to try and beautify it,
encourage you to carry it out.
Right? You'll begin to think there's absolutely nothing
wrong, or you'll be in denial thinking there's
nothing wrong with it.
Right.
He will try to get you to disbelieve,
my brothers and my sisters.
Right?
What I'm gonna touch on my brothers and
my sisters here is,
right, this intellectual type of disbelief.
Because of modern day technology and modern day
advancements,
right, going to university thinking that you're some
smart guy, right?
That your intellect is above everyone else.
It is beautified
for you. Taqdisul
Aqal the glorification,
the veneration of
the intellect.
You know better this doesn't make sense.
Just because it doesn't make sense to you
or you don't have the answers my brothers
and my sisters,
that doesn't mean there aren't any answers. I'll
say that again.
Just because you don't have the answers, that
doesn't mean there aren't any answers.
Right?
Take this from me, my brothers and my
sisters,
anything
that comes from other than Allah, you are
bound to find contradictions.
You are bound to find flaws,
holes in the narrative,
right?
You look at liberal values, my brothers and
my sisters.
Oh, actually let me go on to the
matter of
what is
acceptable
morally.
Right?
Why shall I start with this?
Right?
I speak to atheists all the times, my
brothers and my sisters.
I might speak to John. John says to
me, this is morally acceptable.
We shouldn't do this, we should do that.
You go to
Suzanne.
Right?
Suzanne says, Mark is wrong
or John is wrong.
What is morally acceptable is this and that.
Whose morality should we accept?
Have you guys heard of something called,
cannibalism?
What does cannibalism mean?
Where you're allowed to start eating
other people's flesh, eating other human beings. What
did you guys think of it?
What did you guys think of it?
Nice, tasty. What is it?
What did you guys think of it?
Did you know that up until this very
day, my brothers and my sisters, cannibalism,
eating other human beings is perfectly moral in
some place around the world?
Some parts of India, Fiji,
Rothenberg
in Germany,
right? There are different laws and legalizations.
Did you know that, my brothers and my
sisters? That's not just the only places, some
places up until this very point,
it is morally acceptable to eat other human
beings.
Let me ask you guys something else. This
is just me asking, Abu Taymih doesn't have
his own views and opinions,
right? What do you think
of
one having a relationship with his sister?
What are you guys scared for?
What do you guys think of it?
But love is love though, right?
Love is love, this is exactly the argument
that we hear today.
Love is love, do as you wish, liberal
values.
You have every right to exercise your freedom,
Sahih,
from the fruits of liberalism,
Sahih.
Then let me ask you guys another question,
having a relationship with your own father
Excuse me brothers and sisters for mentioning these
examples,
Right?
Our children are being bombarded with information.
It is being shoved down their throats and
rubbed on their faces.
What do you guys think of that?
Is there anything wrong with that?
But again, guys, love is love.
Just like water is water, go to the
toilet and drink that water, right?
Let me ask you guys a question,
making love with an animal,
having a relationship with a horse, eshil mushkilah,
you are already allowed to identify as a
cat,
right?
Piers Morgan came out the other day and
he wrote, From today, I identify as a
cat.
Ashil mushkilah,
the world's becoming upside down, right? Look at
the way everyone is reacting, they reacted like
this 60 years ago.
When this discussion of you know same thing,
right, was being brought up.
Isn't that so?
But now, perfectly fine, mark my words,
right? Mark my words. And I don't know
the unseen, but it's only a matter of
time before * is made legal
because they have the exact same argument.
I've seen some clips that were taken down
from YouTube. I've got it saved somewhere.
Of people campaigning for this
and pointing out contradictions,
right? You allowed it for them. What about
us? Love is love.
Everyone is entitled to whatever they wish.
Am I wrong to say that, my brothers
and my sisters?
Let me tell you guys about my friend
Mark.
I was on my way to Australia
not so long ago,
20 hours from the UK all the way
to
Sydney.
Transit, we had to go through India,
one of the worst airports you could go
to, right?
Every single time the flight was late.
And as the flight is taken off, you
feel like that the flight is about to
crash down with the way things start shaking.
But Air Canada was much better.
They gave us a great time, allahi. Allahi,
all them. Canadian view are really nice.
Right?
Whereas on transit
you've heard me mention the story. Right?
There's only 20 people here from the last
program, so I'm gonna mention it again.
Just to really stimulate and work your minds,
my brothers and my sisters.
I ran into Mark. We're we're gonna call
him Mark. Right? We're gonna call him Mark.
I run into him. We started talking. We're
waiting for the flight. Right? Everyone's bored.
I said to him, Mark, why are you
going all the way to Australia by yourself?
I know why I'm going.
What about you? Because I was meant to
be going with my girlfriend,
but we split up from one another.
I was feeling a bit nosy so I
asked him,
Why did you guys split up?
He said, We started
arguing about her speaking to the opposite gender
via text message. I even caught her cheating
on me, via text message.
And anything else?
He said, she would go outside
wearing revealing clothes that I wasn't happy with.
Me playing devil's advocate, I said, Mark, what's
the problem?
Right? Leave and let be. Everyone should have
the choice to do as they wish. Sah,
why are you being so controlling, Mark?
I asked him,
What
did she think of
him treating her like that? She said, She
called me abusive,
emotionally this,
controlling
all of these names that she threw at
him.
Too forceful,
stop pushing me into a corner,
stop making my life a misery.
I said, No.
Right?
I asked him, What is the issue? He
goes, Akha, I'm not comfortable with it. You're
not comfortable with it,
Believe and let Be, right? Do as you
wish. Everyone's entitled to do as they wish.
Liberal values, my brothers and my sisters.
And then I said to him, If you
were to get married to a sister
that adheres to Al Islam, you wouldn't even
need to worry about this.
Dresses with the correct Islamic dress code, his
jaw dropped.
I think he was having thoughts about getting
married to a Muslim,
should've taken a shahada there and then,
right?
Shaha idumil Kalam, my brothers and my sisters,
right? And then I asked him,
What are you planning on doing next? He
goes, I'm going to now
find new love.
Asatim, what are the chances that the exact
same thing are going to happen? He goes,
No, hopefully it won't.
Right, Asatimark.
Right?
When we don't have an external entity,
and that is Allah the Almighty,
that gives us rules and regulations.
Everyone will keep on looking at
morality in their own way, what is acceptable
and what is unacceptable.
There's a very high chance that you are
going to go through the exact same thing
with Suzanne that you're going to meet.
And then same problem, and then again,
same again.
You know when I arbitrate between husband and
wife,
right?
Husband and wife, right? They're going through problems.
I'm sitting there, I ask, what is the
problem?'
The husband says, I don't like the way
she dresses outside.
She says, He's being too controlling. They but
ask her, What's his problem? She goes, He
has inappropriate conversations
with women. I asked him, Why did you
do that? Because they're just friends.
Men and women can just be friends, right?
He's sitting in the corner with his friend,
right? His female friend. You ask him why
he's doing it. He goes, Helping with my
assignment.
He's helping with my assignment. Men and women
can just be friends, guys.
I might say this, and you guys are
gonna look at me extremely weird. Have you
guys heard of Steve Harvey?
Steve Harvey?
Have you guys seen that viral video of
Steve Harvey?
Where he's talking about, can men and women
just be friends put into YouTube?
Right?
He talks about how men he's speaking on
behalf of himself and everyone else,
right? How they're just waiting
for that crack in the door so they
can slip in?
Am I wrong guys? Am I oppressing you?
Anyone
Even on Ghahtanirahmatullahi
a'layhi says,
Those men that are looking at women are
no different to dogs.
Right? You know a dog when he sees
a piece of meat, a piece of flesh,
he starts huffing and puffing, right?
It's like that.
He's saying men are like that. (QS. Alhamdulqalukhuma
usuduhaqalatbila'aaywathanwala
athmani)
If these lions don't protect these women, they
will be taken advantage of.
But liberal values, never let be do as
you wish,
right?
This is why they're battling with one another,
especially in today's day and age.
Husbands and wives are each other's necks
to the point he says, You know what?
Let her go do as she wishes.
Right?
Because we don't have an external entity that
we keep going back to. We don't have
that anymore.
We might be taking inspiration from
liberals,
feminists,
right, and whoever else it might be,
the non Muslim.
And that's where we take our way of
thinking
and the way to structure our lives. And
like I said my brothers and my sisters,
there will always be holes in the narrative
with anything that comes from other than Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Right? He's speaking to women, He's just saying,
'Akidayah's friend, why is she being so controlling?
What's the big deal?
Does Allah allow him to do that? To
just have these open conversations,
right?
Is Allah Azzawajal okay with him doing that?
You can see why she has an issue
and you can see why he has an
issue as well with the way she goes
outside.
Right?
This is why like I said, they will
continue
there being
problems within society like the problem is already
seeing. The place will continue to be chaotic
up until we come back to what Allah
and His Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said Upon
the understanding of the companions
and the 2 other Golden Generations.
Anyways, I went on a bit of a
tangent there, sorry about that. Right? What we
were speaking about here using the intellect over
the text,
where one now begins to think of himself
that he's smarter
than what Allah 'azawalahu 'alayhi' sent down.
Right?
This doesn't make sense to me. Right? How
many a time have I seen a sister?
She walks into university And by the way,
by the way guys,
the way I look at university
is
that it is a breeding ground
for kufr,
shirk,
feminism,
liberalism,
right? Fahesha,
everything is telling you come haram, come.
Tell me if I'm wrong guys, I've been
to university myself. I was doing civil engineering,
I know what goes on, right? And of
course,
the rainbow team extremely active,
right? All of that, that which we see
in universities, my brothers and my sisters.
Right?
How many times have I seen a sister
going there, holding on to Islamic morals and
values, and then she runs into sisters
who convince her that she needs to look
through the lens of equal rights.
Let me ask you this question. Did Islam
come to establish equal rights or did it
come to establish justice?
It came to establish justice, not equal rights.
That's why we say my brothers and my
sisters, that even if a woman is a
multi billionaire, multi billionaire,
right? She still doesn't have to contribute towards
the bills.
She doesn't
have to pay anything towards the bill, if
she wants to then great.
But you now enforcing that upon her, going
to the marriage meeting, and you're discussing with
her how much she needs to pay, and
how it's going to be the ratio of
5050,
wallahi, that guy is wasted
if he does that.
If she wants to help her, then great.
You still have to clothe her, my friend,
in a reasonable manner.
Should we just go with equal rights, my
sisters?
What do you guys think now?
Or do you guys
want to hold on to these rights that
Allah gave you? Allah the Almighty.
Right.
So her sister goes, she's convinced that the
right way forward is to look through the
lens of equal rights.
And then guess what happens?
She comes to the Qur'an,
right?
And she says, This is not right. This
doesn't make sense. This is oppressive.
Because
on certain aspects, it is not equal between
men and women.
Do you know how dangerous this statement is,
my brothers and my sisters?
Allah,
oppressive,
and He told us,
He does not oppress anyone.
From the sentiments of feminism, my brothers and
my sisters, is
calling for the reformation
and a reinterpretation
of the deen of religion.
My brothers and my sisters, this statement here,
is it a minor sin, major sin, or
is it?
It leaves you on the fringes of the
deen.
It leaves you on the fringes of your
religion, my brothers and my sisters.
Right?
Kufar and Shirk is very different today, my
brothers and my sisters.
Right?
How long do I have here, mashaikh?
Should we stop or should we continue, guys?
But millennials only have
an attention span of 30 seconds.
That's why you have those reels now, right,
that only go for 30 seconds because they
realize
that's how you can grab their attention.
Does anyone feel offended by what I said?
Anyone? Please sisters, let me know.
You guys know Simone de Beauvoir is
one of the founding mothers of
feminism from France.
Right? Like I said, Abu Taemin does not
have his own views and opinions. I just
quote,
Betty Friedan. You guys heard of her?
Betty Friedan, she's the American version of Simone
de Beauvoir.
And also I'm going to quote for you
guys, Insha Allahu Ta'ala,
what British women say
according
to some
studies that were done by a very well
known
news tabloid
called Daily Mail.
You guys heard of Daily Mail?
The second trick that he has, obviously, if
he can't get you to disbelieve, he's going
to beautify what?
Innovation.
Right. Which ones was innovation
or major sense?
By the way, what does innovations mean?
Introducing new practice into the religion.
Right?
Abdul Abba's he said,
Bida
is more beloved to Iblis. Innovations are more
beloved to Iblis than sinning. Why? Because when
this individual now
does these innovative practices, he believes he's getting
closer to Allah.
Sah. But when someone's doing a sin, like
he's doing a zina, he's got a gi
offer and he comes out, Okay, please make
dua for me. He knows that he's wrong.
But the person who's doing innovative practices,
he thinks he's getting closer to Allah, something
new that he invented into the deen.
Does that make sense?
Right? This is why whatever we do in
light of our deen, we always need to
ask.
Was it mentioned in the Quran? Was it
mentioned in the sunnah? Did the companions practice
it?
The 4 great imams of fiqh, Imam Buhanifa,
Ashaq, Imalik,
Ahmad,
what were their views on this
to get more of a perspective on this
matter?
Are you guys with me?
The 3rd trip that he has up his
sleeve, my brothers and my sisters.
If you manage to escape, and the shaitan
fails to succeed in the first and the
second, the third, my brothers and my sisters.
What do you think it is?
The kabayr assent,
major sins. And in today's day and age,
my brothers and my sisters,
major sins have become so easy for us
to carry out. Once upon a time, my
brothers and my sisters,
if you wanted to do some haram,
you would on the Internet, you would have
to go into the living room,
and there would be the big Dell computer
with the big box. Do you guys remember
that?
Big computer with the keyboard.
As he's accessing haram, he's watching the door.
He's watching like that.
Do you guys remember MSN?
These Gen Z's don't know.
MSN. Do you guys remember MSN?
Sentum.
No one in their right mind would take
their big computer and put it under his
blanket, right?
I don't think anybody would do that.
Sahih.
However, now my brothers and my sisters,
with these gadgets,
right,
with these social media apps
carrying out
major sins have become so so easy.
Meeting up to do haram is just a
fingertip away.
Looking at fools and evil has become so
so easy, my brothers and my sisters.
Right? Am I wrong to say that guys?
Shaitan is at work,
right? Looking to trap every single one of
us,
right?
Even now this addiction that people have of
adult content, my brothers and my sisters, it
all started with what?
An innocent glance.
O parents,
Wallahi 'alaiem, it's so sad.
Right? On a weekly basis, I'm receiving messages
from both brothers and sisters
who have now become addicted to adult content,
and some of them are as young as
11 years of age, 12 years of age.
We handed over these gadgets to them, no
problem, I understand why you are doing this.
And you guys need to realize this as
well. You want to get married, right? If
you don't want to get married, there's something
wrong, come see me,
right? And then later on you want to
have children,
That excitement dies down after you get married.
Now you want children. It comes with a
huge responsibility
and the world is changing very quickly.
I understand why
you want to hand it over because everyone
has it, we don't want them to miss
out, we don't want them to feel left
out, right?
But it comes with a huge responsibility
in what they're accessing,
right?
The Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with all
memorized verse, right? Thumma latus saluna,
your maidim
and in Naim. You're going to be asked
about your blessings.
The messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam explained it
and he said, this blessing that you're going
to be asked about is water
and dates, Allah Aswadhan.
If you're going to be asked about that,
right,
we're not going to be asked about our
phones
that we spent with our money
and then we gave it to our children.
Even the messian salal alayhi wa sallam said,
Your feet on your markim will not move
until
you're asked about 4 things. One of them
is your wealth. How did you earn it?
What did you spend it on?
Right? The major sins that are taking place
on there, how it's completely destroying our youth,
right,
as young as what, 11, 12. Today, the
child, my brothers and my sisters,
he doesn't just have 2 parents and he's
got 3.
The child has 3 parents,
his mom, dad, and who else? The phone.
This is where he's getting his information and
his world view from.
Am I wrong to say that guys?
Right?
And sometimes what we do,
we hand these gadgets over to him because
we are busy.
Series after series,
Netflix
series this and that,
Hollywood,
Bollywood, Somaliland,
right?
This is what we're focused on and glued
to.
And then you go, go, here take the
phone.
Wallahi, kids as young as 2 years of
age, they know how to access Instagram. Wallahi
l'aazim.
But someone may say, what shall I do
then?
How shall I keep the child busy? Let
me ask you my brothers and my sisters,
how were we busy when we were growing
up? Did we have these
gadgets?
Why are we making it as if that
it's from the things that are musts and
necessities of life?
I
Should I tell you guys something that leads
to major sins?
That we might just take so lightly and
not think much of it.
Ibn Al Qayim, he has a kitab called
Irathatullahfanfi
Masaid shaitan,
where he talks about the tricks and the
traps of the devil.
Right?
In it, he dedicates a chapter
explaining the statement of Abdullah ibn Surud when
he said,
You know music?
It causes hypocrisy to grow in one's heart.
Who said this?
Did I say this?
'Abdulla'l al Mas'ud, the great companion who knew
the Quran inside out. He said this. So
Ibn Taym tried to explain it. What he
means by this. Right?
He says from from the things that he
says is,
wakum
minhuratin
saarat
bilrinah
minalbaha'yah.
How many and He's saying there's 100 and
100 over 700 years ago. How many
women? Because of music they became
prostitutes.
He said this over 700 years ago.
You think the music that they had then
was like the music that they have today?
You know the filthy music they have today?
Top 5?
You guys know? Top 5?
And this other guy that lives here in
Canada, call what's the name?
Drake.
Arudhu billamin.
May Allah
guide him and guide everyone else.
You think the music back in the day
was like the music that you have today?
With all that profanity,
and filth, and evil, and
they show half naked women or even women
that are not wearing anything.
If it was going to what? Lead to
Zina, then what do you think now, guys?
He also mentions that
a lot of those
who listen to music, they end up having
one other problem. You know what it is,
guys?
They struggle with their prayer.
From what angle though? 5 minutes. Absa You
Rasool Shaykh.
I've been given 5 minutes.
How, though? We are being told that music
is the cause of hypocrisy growing in your
heart, right? He's saying a lot of people
that struggle with that have issues with music,
also they have issues with something else, that's
a salah.
Why? Allah says,
when they stand up for prayer. Allah tells
us about the hypocrites, they stand up in
a lazy manner.
Music causes hypocrisy to grow in the heart,
and then it begins to affect your prayer,
just like it affected the hypocrites.
Right?
This is everything now falling into perspective as
to why my brothers and my sisters,
we see certain things happening,
right?
Number 4, my brothers and my sisters, number
4,
number 4,
He can't get you to do major sins,
what happens?
It
It tries to trap you with minor sins.
Right?
And of course this takes away from the
high position that you will receive in the
eyes of Allah Azza wa Jal.
Right?
My brothers and my sisters, you know sometimes
we say just minor, right? It's minor, it's
not a big deal.
Minor sin, not khalasya adimafushka.
So I tell you guys something that Ibn
al Qayy mentioned.
Right.
By the way, does minor sins and major
sins take you out of the deal? Does
it take you out of the religion? No,
it doesn't.
Don't do tikfir, guys.
It doesn't take you out of religion.
However, you know, Ibn Uqaym says,
Al Juzia
Al Maasiyya to Birid Al Kufr.
The sin
that you fall into is the first spark
to disbelief.
Meaning
one thing leads to another,
and another,
and another, and it becomes major, and then
that major, alongside another major, up until this
individual now
shoots out of the religion.
A lot of the time it's not surprising
that one leaves the fold of Islam. It's
really not.
It is not.
And that's because he lived that kind of
life for a very long time, so this
is just maybe, for lack of better term,
the ice is gonna take
for him.
That's why we need to make tawba, my
brothers, every time we all sin.
Wallahi,
the sheikh is lying to you if he
tells you that you're the sin. We all
sin, every single one of us here,
Right? It falls short. However, we have to
return back to Allah.
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, how many times
he used to sin? How many no. How
many times he used to say 'astaghfirullah'?
70 times. In another generation, a 100 times,
right?
If that's Him, where do we stand?
Where do we stand, my brothers and my
sisters, especially in this sexualized society where everything
around you is haram?
Or you're looking at something that is going
to penetrate,
right,
through to your heart.
Number 6, my brothers and my sisters, and
this is the final one,
and I'm done. 5. Oh, sorry, 5.
5th one, my brothers and my sisters, if
He can't get you to do minor sins,
He's now going to busy you with that
which is what?
Less beneficial and rewarding.
Alright. Less beneficial
and rewarding.
Let me ask you guys a question.
Giving dawah on your phone, is it good?
Giving dawah on your phone is good, right?
Sending beneficial tweets, making videos, reels, and all
that stuff,
Right?
The time when the salah kicks in.
It's time to pray.
Someone says, you know what? I'm just gonna
continue now giving down. I'm doing a good
thing anyway.
Which one is more important right now?
Salah.
Shaitan beautifies Waqi, you're doing something amazing. Wallahi,
one time I had somebody say, the azan
is going off against akhir, we're talking about
Islam anyway, don't worry, we'll pray
later.
Khaimayseer,
at Mahayseer.
And then I remember this 5th point,
Number 6, my brothers and my sisters,
and this is the final one.
If the shaitan fails to succeed in all
of these 5 things,
he has one last trick up his sleeve.
And this is something my brothers and masters
that even the prophets
could not prevent. What is it? He comes
through your relatives.
He's going to come through your relatives now
to give you a hard time.
Nuh alaihis salatu wa salam and his son,
he's telling his son,
get on the ship, walata kunmal kafireen. He
says, Don't worry, Sa'awi lajabal yaseemunimin,
I'm gonna climb all the way to the
top,
and the flood won't be able to grab
me.
Right?
The wife of Lut alaihis salatu wa sallam.
You guys heard of Lut? Prophet Lut?
Everyone should know Lut is especially in today's
day and age.
Right?
Look up the story, look up the scripture,
right?
His wife, my brothers and my sisters was
the one that used to set him up,
his own wife.
She would what? Shaitan would come through her
to get Tawrut alaihis salatu wa sallam.
You know how sometimes it's 80, right? When
you start practicing,
trying to wear the
hijab, Oh, MashaAllah,
look at her, trying to be so righteous,
trying to be all so good. This is
what they say to her,
it might even come from our own relatives.
And you start practicing 'Ah'
just yesterday, yeah? Now, you want to tell
me what's right, what's wrong?
Ola, I one time had
an auntie say to her son,
'I used to clean your backside, and now
you wanna tell me what is right and
what is wrong?'
Right. Now my brothers and my sisters,
do you know where you stand with the
devil?
This will give us a very good idea
of where we stand with the devil.
What is the solution to a lot of
that which you mentioned my brothers and my
sisters? You mentioned it right at the beginning.
Ala'ilm
learning about who Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is.
Right?
Learning the rights of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
upon us.
The more you learn about Allah
How do you learn about Allah?
The only source of knowledge that we have
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is what?
Are His names and His attributes
that you take from the Quran and the
sunnah of the Messenger salAllahu alayhi wa sallam.
I'm not talking about these debates that people
have. I'm talking about
learn who Al Hakim is,
learn who Ar Raqib is, learn who As
Sameer is,
right?
Ibn Rajab, he mentions in one of his
books, right?
A woman
and a man that were alone in a
desert. They were Bedouins.
And the male Bedouin began to seduce her.
Right?
And he said to her, Mi'mataghafin?
Why are you angry?
Sorry, what are you scared of? What are
you scared of? He's saying to her, what
are you scared of?
The only thing that can see us are
the stars.
This lady, my brothers and my sisters, who
internalize
Hu as Samee'ah, the All Hearing,
the All Seeing,
the One who's looking over you and watching
over you, she internalized that and she understood
it because she learned about Allah.
She said to him, 'Einamukohkibuha?'
Where is the One Who Created these stars?
'Einakaliquhawabariha.'
Where is the Creator of it
that struck fear into him and he went
back?
At Tawhid my brothers and my sisters,
the more you learn about Allah, His names
and attributes,
the more
you will have that fear and that consciousness
and that Ta'lim, that glorification
and verif-
that glorification
and that veneration in your heart towards him.
Not only will you think twice but thrice
about carrying out that sin,
right?
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless you all.
Again, I just want to honestly from the
bottom of my heart,
right, thank the administration of the Masjid, the
people who run the Masjid, the shuyukh of
the Masjid, especially Fozan,
right? All the trouble that he had to
go through setting this
program up. He might have been doing night
shifts, Allahu'alam.
Speaking to the brothers because the day and
the night,
they're up against one another. UK has a
different time zone
and also for standing strong
in allowing this
program to go ahead,
right? And not budging
when it came to this external pressure.
Right? Look at all the khair that takes
place in some of these programs, the amount
of people that come out, and this is
exactly what we need from our masajid.
Right? These fear mongering tactics are used to
