Abu Taymiyyah – MUSLIMS FOOLED ON THIS DAY! ABU TAYMIYYH JEYLANI

Sisters, I'm recording this video on the 31st

March,

one day before the day that a lot

of people call April Fools Day,

which, while Allah has absolutely no basis in

our religion, if anything, it goes against the

religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

due to what it consists of.

Brothers and sisters, there was a time when

I remember I think a couple of years

back,

I didn't actually know the date and

I woke up,

someone phoned me telling me that

their parents had dropped

off the balcony and they had died.

And obviously, that's going to bring a big

shock to anyone that knows the individual who's

saying the statement.

It'll bring a big shock to a person.

Things like that, brothers and sisters, you find

that it is very very common, especially on

days like this.

Is this something that the Sharia allows

someone to joke about his parents dropping off

a balcony?

And whatever it might be, any statement

that is attached to a lie.

Firstly, brothers and sisters, we need to understand

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave a lot of

emphasis when it came to sitq.

1 to be truthful in His statements Allah

Azzawajal says,

And be from those that are truthful.

And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has told us

that lying is a means of you not

getting that guidance that you're looking for.

Sometimes we search for guidance, but that guidance

doesn't come to us. There's reasons why that

guidance doesn't come to us.

Allah says,

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't guide the individual

who lies excessively.

Even if it is a joke, it is

something that has been prohibited in Islam.

We see it to be something very small.

Just uttering it, it might take a few

seconds. The prophet

told us

For indeed lying,

it leads to wickedness.

And wickedness, it leads towards the fire. And

a person keeps lying until he's written down

with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to be from

the liars.

Fana jaa Allahanatallahi

Al kardibeen Allah says, and we

put the curse of Allah

upon those who lie.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has quoted those when

they have gathered to do Mubahala

when it comes to the issue of lying.

So you understand from these ayat

These

verses from the Quran and these ahadith from

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the danger of

lying. It's a major sin

because you have the threat of the hellfire

upon it, And Imam Ad Dabi

mentions it in his kitab al kaba'ir.

Lying when joking.

Brothers and sisters,

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

he told us in

Woe to the individual

who when he speaks, he lies in order

to make the people laugh.

Isn't this

in accordance

to what the people are doing today?

Especially on April fools day, that which they

call April fools day.

One comes, he lies about his parents dying.

One comes,

he lies about his car crashing.

One comes,

he lies about his sister, he lies about

his brother, whatever it might be.

And he might even cause shock to a

person.

Imagine the shock that a person gets.

That shock that he gets. That could be

the reason why he ends up suffering

in his health.

How many people have you seen?

They are told that the son has died.

He becomes shocked.

He ends up getting heart problems.

Mental illness

due to that which has been told from

the get go.

Or he might even end up getting something

called shalal, which means that one faints,

drops to the floor and then he's not

even able to get into the

same position that he was in before. It

has a detrimental effect on a person's health.

Let alone joking about it brothers and sisters

In this regard.

So the prophet he

said

after that he said woe to him, woe

to him. He gave emphasis to it. He

repeated it twice.

In another hadith, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam said,

I promise a person

a house in the middle of Jannah.

If he leaves off lying, even if he's

joking.

And he came in another hadith, the Prophet

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said

It is not permissible

to lie

in times of being serious and also in

times of joking.

And it is not permissible for a person

to promise his kid

something and then he doesn't accomplish it.

The hadith was narrated by Imam al Bukhari

in

his kitab

So as you can see, brothers and sisters,

it is not something that a Muslim should

participate in.

And you can see that it can have

a detrimental effect on a person's health and

likewise it has a detrimental effect on a

person's religion. Allah told us to be from

those that are truthful.

For indeed being truthful, it leads to a

person being

pious,

one having piety and then it leads to

Aljannah

as the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told

us.

Brothers and sisters,

we hear the advice.

It's upon us to act upon it, to

implement in our lives and be from those

who the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said.

Whoever calls the guidance for him is the

reward of everyone that follows Him on that

guidance and it doesn't take anything away from

his reward.
