Whoever is not well mannered

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

in his relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will patch him up.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

Will deal with him under the earth.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

My brothers and my sisters,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

when speaking about others,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

when speaking about others,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

There might be times, my brothers and my

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

sisters, where we have to say something

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

because debunking,

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

rebuking

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

has been made permissible in 6 cases.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

As Imam An Nawawi

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

he mentions

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

in his Riyadu salihin:

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

But my brothers and my sisters,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

what I want to really speak about in

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

this episode is

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

being fair and just

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

in that which we say about others,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

no matter who it is.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

Being fair and just

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

is something that is a must

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

upon every single individual

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

when speaking about whoever it might be

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

and in every single situation

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

So you're thinking to yourself

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

even the Kuffar?

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

Yes, my brothers and my sisters, even the

00:01:36 --> 00:01:36

Kuffar.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

For Dayal ibn Ayab,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

The great Tabiai said,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

And by Allah,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

It is not lawful for you to oppress

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

a pig.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

It is not lawful for you to oppress

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

and bring harm to a pig.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

Beirei Haqin without right.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

If this is a pig, my brothers and

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

mothers, it's an animal. How about a human

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

being?

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

And yes my brother is a Muslim even

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

if the guy is a kafir.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

Look what Ibn Taymah said

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

and tell the lima

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

It is not lawful for you

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

to oppress anyone even if that individual is

00:02:28 --> 00:02:28

a disbeliever.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

And then he recited a statement of Allah

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

Azzawajal when he said

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

Do not let the hate that you have

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

in your heart entice you

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

to oppressing them.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

But rather be fair and just, indeed, this

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

is more closer to a Taqar.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

So if we said that you can't oppress

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

a kafir,

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

then my brothers and my sisters,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

that which is foremost is that you can't

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

oppress a Muslim,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:07

even if that person is an innovator.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

Whether it is

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

you're speaking about

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

someone who you disagree with.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

If you are a Salafi and you disagree

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

with a Brelvi,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

you cannot say about that Brelvi,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

that which isn't a reality.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

And the same applies the Brylvi cannot say

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

about the Diobandi and the Diobandi can't say

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

about the Brylvi

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

that which has no

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

reality or no truth to it.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

If you have something against the Ekhwani,

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

you're not allowed to oppress that Ikhwani.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

You are not allowed to say about him

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

that which isn't a reality.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

This is the The

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

religion of Allah Subhanahu

00:03:53 --> 00:03:53

wa ta'ala.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

Ratima rhamallahu ta'ala he said

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

When speaking about others,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

it must be done with

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

justice

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

and also with knowledge,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

not with ignorance and also oppression.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

And he says that this is the way

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

of the people of innovation.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

If somebody, my brothers and my sisters is

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

insulting like Harafi'li,

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

he's insulting

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

and I'm bringing these examples

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

so we realize

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

the severity of the matter.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

He's insulting the companion Mu'awiya radiAllahu anhu.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

It is not lawful for you to say

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

about him or to pin up against him

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

that he insults Abu Bakr and Umar or

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

Aisha Radiallahu Ta'ala Anha.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

When the reality is he doesn't.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

If someone is saying

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

that Uzair

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

is the son of Allah, you can't say

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

about him that he also claims

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

that Jesus or Isa is the son of

00:05:02 --> 00:05:03

Allah azza wa jal.

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

Fairness and justice

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

with whatever we say.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

It is not lawful for one to

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

boycott his brother for more than 3 days.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

And the best of them

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

is the one who starts

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

with the salaam.
