AI: Transcript ©
Insha'Allah
we'll be taking the book Qawa'idul
Arba,
the 4
principles.
The 4 principles that was authored by Imam
al Mujaddid,
Muhammad,
Ibn Abdul Wahab.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala have mercy upon
him.
But before I go on to that I
just want to mention the importance
of a Tawhid
because you find many many people who say
things like 'Yahi, do you see the people
worshiping statues?'
Why do you just keep going on about
Tawhid?
Tawhid? Do you see any shit going on?
None.
This is something that I hear every time
I go on to Hajj. As soon as
you start speaking about Tawhid, people will say,
'Akhi, do you see any shit going on?'
Nam. The
whole mafoom,
understanding of shirk, wallahi
is totally misunderstood by many people.
As if shirk
the only form of shirk is to
prostrate to a sunam, to a statue. That's
what a lot of people think. They say
things to you like, do you see people
worshiping statues?
Little do they know that
shirk can come in many different types of
forms.
Whether it is a shirk fiddua,
whether it is a shirk of dabbih, whether
it is a shirk of another walhalf, all
of this inshallah will come on to.
If we look at the most
sacred place upon the Earth, where is that?
The Haram. Mecca.
Mecca.
I
was making I was making tawaf around the
Kaaba.
Making tawaf around the Kaaba. Someone would might
think to himself like, okay this is the
most sacred place.
Upon the whole earth. You're not gonna find
any evil, you're not gonna find any shirk.
And shirk is the major sin. The least,
you won't find the most major and greatest
sin.
Wallahi has seen my own eyes.
People are going around the Kaaba.
People are going around the Kaaba. They are
committing shirkulakbar
the biggest and greatest sin which is shirk
billah. Doing what? You Ali save us from
the fire.
Wallahi.
An Egyptian guy shouted at them and he
said to them, Say You Allah. Say You
Allah.
They shout back at him.
Yeah, Allah save us from the fire. The
point is the point is
If
shirk now is taking place
around the Kaaba, people going around the Kaaba,
then how is one gonna come to me
and tell me Aka we're not in need
of a Tawhid, we're not in need of
someone coming up to us and just constantly
speaking about Tawhid.
Wallahi,
if a person knew the Arbaat Madahib,
he knew fiqhshafi'aia,
inside out.
And there's people that know that.
They are experts in. They
know we're inside out.
But, all I know people,
even though they've got this expertise in all
these fields,
they are grave worshipping. They are going to
the graves and making dua. The point is
that no matter how much you know in
your fiqh,
in your that you do.
Nothing
will come to a benefit of this individual
if he is not on point.
Are you with me? What does Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala say?
He will forgive everything except what Ashirk if
a person dies upon it.
The drug dealer, the one that joins hamar
all day long.
The one that joins hammar all day long.
He does, you know, he's got a girlfriend.
And even the guy with a boyfriend.
I'm being serious, the guy with a boyfriend,
and he does stuff with a guy.
All of this is what major sins.
If a person dies upon
it,
this person will be under the will of
If Allah
wanted to punish him, he will punish him.
And if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wanted to
forgive him, he'll forgive him.
Entirely up to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
sooner or later this guy is gonna come
out of the
fire. Sooner or later. That's if you're doing
what? Major sins.
Not to water down the fact that these
are major sins that they're not important.
You don't even wanna have a bubble, a
cloud above your head that there's even a
possibility
that you're gonna touch the fire.
Are you now with me?
One shouldn't get too complacent.
The prophet said,
and
now The fire that you kindle with is
1 70th.
1 70th
of the fire that you will be punished
with on the,
day of resurrection.
So if we can't even bear now the
fire, hey, do you even wanna come on
your markiama and there's a possibility
of you even touching
the slightest of the fire? The answer is
no. Naam. Also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
says
Whoever now commits shirk then Allah has made
the jannah haram upon this individual.
Even
a doubt that you know will hear all
the time
in years to come as well wherever you
know go, nam.
Akay, isn't there another topic that we can
speak about? Why always tawhid? Why always shirk?
Why always tawhid?
We hear this all the time all the
time. Nah. Speaking about Akhlaq is important.
Speaking about Akhlaq is very very important. Speaking
about Ibadat,
rakaik,
heart softeners.
Talking about siam, salat all of these are
very very important. Being
beautiful to your parents.
Now
even though the scholars don't only speak about
Tawhid, like let's just give you an example,
Shasal Al Fozan. Shasal Al Fozan, he's got
books
on a Tawhid.
He's written books.
And at the same time he comes and
gives a lecture on this, on this, on
this. But these people they want to what?
Divert the people away from these individuals.
Akhi, isn't there another topic to talk about?
Why are you not always speaking about this?
The answer to this
and how to
respond to this kind of critic is the
statement of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Make sure you write this down.
The prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said
The best dua is the dua on your
marafa.
What is this dua?
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
And the best thing that I ever said
and the prophets before me is La ilaha
illallah Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu
Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu
Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu
Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu Wahedahu
Wahedahu Wahedahu Wa
that the prophets
ever,
and the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam ever spoke
about. So, even if the guy
was only speaking about Tawhid There's
no shame in it at all.
Are you with me?
There's no harm whatsoever. If the guy was
just banging on about your head all day
long there's still no shame on it.
The best thing that I ever mentioned and
the prophets before me is
If they were to do that even though
they're not doing that.
Even if they just constantly spoke about the
issue but Tawhid
it is the best thing that one can
ever speak about. It is the best thing
the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam ever spoke about
and it's the best thing that the prophets
and messengers before him ever spoke about. Are
you now with me?
Yeah? And also Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
And we send forth every messenger
in every people.
And they worship Allah and they stay away
from the tahood.
None.
So it's important that we know this issue
really, really well.
Another thing I wanna clarify,
How many times have you all heard especially
in our Somali communities?
The Kuffar,
they've got 'Aklaq' good. Good Aklaq.
Have you heard this before?
Yes.
The way they deal with the people,
the Muamalah they have with the people, The
way they respect you. They say hi to
you, but the other Somali guy he doesn't
come to you and he gives you a,
a dirty look. I'm talking about here in
our communities here.
By the way, some of my things I'm
racist. I'm not racist. Everyone here is Somali.
Okay. The point is how many times have
we hear this? We have to understand that
the Akhlaq is of 2 types.
The Akhlaq Ma Allah Azzawajal.
The etiquette with Wala Azzawajal which is establishing
a Tawhid.
And then you have the Akhlaq,
Malkhark with the creation.
Even the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
I was only sent
to establish what?
The lofty characteristics.
That I would only
send for this cause.
So you got the Akhlaq and everything comes
under it. The Tawhid comes under it.
The dealings so if a person now is
He has bad etiquettes, bad morals of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. What remains now from his
Akhlaq? Which Akhlaq will benefit him?
So this statement is totally wrong. To leave
aalal itlak
that the kuffar they go to put akhlaq,
wallahi they don't.
The simple fact they are committing shirk,
committing the most gravest sin had a kafana.
And the shirk is of 2 types and
we're gonna be covering that Insha Allahu Ta'ala
in next few weeks when we study with
Surah Al Thalaqa.
But just quickly inshallah ta'ala shirk
explained to
you. The major shirk and the minor shirk.
Where is the major shirk? That which is
mentioned in the Quran.
All these aya that speak about shirk is
speaking about what?
The major shirk.
And the minor shirk is,
the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he mentioned as
he came in the hadith that was narrated
by Imam Ibn Majah
On the authority of Mahmoud ibn Nabi. The
prophet sallallahu alaihi was someone speaking to the
Sahaba. Who was he speaking to? Abu Bakr,
Omar Ali, the best and the most tremendous
of Sahaba.
'Akhwafulma'akhafa'alaikum
a shirkul Azhar'
that which I fear for you the most
is the minor shirk.
Just repeat that. Akhwa fuma akhafu alaykum
Ashirkul Azhar.
That which I fear for you the most
is the minor shirk.
Are you with me?
So the Sahaba, they asked, why is the
why is the, minor shirk? The prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam came and he replied and
he said, are we, showing off?
Don't think I'm speaking about anyone specifically here.
This the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam speaking
to the companions.
The best
of those that walked upon the face of
the earth from his companions.
And he's telling them that which I fear
for you the most is shirkul askar which
is a riya showing off.
Then where do we stand?
Umar ibn Khattab, Wallahi brothers Insha'Allah tell you
the story.
Umar ibn Khattab, who was scared of him?
The Shaitan. The Shaitan used to be trembling
when Umar ibn Khattab came. The prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam said,
never does shaitan take a path. Sorry. Never
do you take a path except that the
shaitan takes another path.
He used to be scared of him.
Shaitan.
Wallahi the prophet
said
said. Wallahi the shaitan scared of
you.
Shaitan. Who's the one who's the one that
actually comes sometimes and whispers in your ear?
Akhi, your dad's watching, your mom's watching, make
sure you know pray your salah properly.
Give sadaqa while everyone is looking.
He destroys, nullifies the person's actions. Shaitan is
whispering in your ear.
Shaitan was so far from him. Shaitan was
so far from him.
And at the same time the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam dies.
Guess where
Umar ibn Khattab goes running to?
Uzzifa ibn Yamani.
He was also known as a Sahib Basir.
The
Sahabi
that knew the secrets of the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam. He grabs him. He tells him,
did the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasall mention me
from amongst the Munafiqeen?
This is what the Munafiqeen were known for.
Allah says in the Quran,
They try to deceive Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
but Allah as a way deceives them.
When they stand up for prayer, they stand
up in a lazy fashion. What do they
wanna do? They wanna show off to the
people.
Are you with me? Ibn Rajab, Rahim Allahu
Ta'ala, he's got something in his jammy
I'll
tell you that the riya can fall into
1 of the 3.
Riya. Riya, which means showing off.
And that's the shirkul Azhar.
And if that enters any Ibadah,
that Ibadah is finished.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
Whoever now does an action.
And he has so c h partners with
me in this action.
I will leave him and his shirk. Hadith
will be Horeyin and say Muslim. And this
is the hadith
Nam,
Nam.
So if no Rajab, he mentions bilekh tasar,
I'll tell you a lot. The first type
is Ria Mahat.
The pure ria where a person now all
his actions
are just for the sake of who? The
people.
What did the Munafiqin do?
They only prayed because what the people were
looking, they'll only
come for Duhur, Asir, when
the light is there and when everybody can
see. Are you there with me?
They'll come for these prayers. That's why the
prophet said
The heaviest and the most hardest salat upon
the is Fajar
and Isha. Are you with me? So they
will only come and do actions when the
people were there looking.
Are you with me?
So all the actions was based upon Akhi.
They just wanna, you know, show after the
people. Says
they don't remember Allah as they will accept
a little bit. And these people
they're like in the lowest part.
They are in the lowest part of where?
The fire. Where's Abu Talib?
Who's in the highest part of the fire?
Abu Talib.
The point is the first one if all
your actions now become riya,
it is fit for this individual to have
the same riya as the
And this is the worst one when a
guy only cares about is what the people
gonna say.
Then you have the second type
where sometimes
the guy shows off and sometimes he doesn't.
I'm gonna ask you a question, now if
I pray a prayer now
Gosh, you look tired now.
You look tired.
A person who prays 4 rakat,
everybody's sitting there.
Paq Masjid.
Paq Masjid.
Them 2 raka'at he prays with, you know,
like,
it's a Paq Masjid.
This guy all he cares
about, you know, what the people like, his
ab or his oy, they're all there watching
you know and he perfects his prayer.
His sujood is on point with it's minan.
He's deha.
Normally only does one Subhanahu Rabi La'ala. He
does it 3 times now.
He even makes Dua in his sujood.
Why it is gonna be longer in there?
His bowing is on point straight.
And then he prays the
final tour of Kaat
All these people go, but he decides
I'm
gonna be sincere with Allah azza wa jal.
Does the first two get accepted? Yeah. Does
the last 2 get accepted?
If
it was a singular prayer, then yes. But
because now it's a combined prayer,
Why? Because is there a prayer that you
can pray 2 for a shah? No. You
can't. So
if a person now has done 2
by showing off and we know that showing
off can destroy the action,
make a nullified,
then can you get 2 only 2 rakat
for Isha? No. It's You know, 4. So
he has to basically repeat the whole salah
again.
Yeah. But
what's the problem for this individual
to show up this prayer? People do that.
People do that.
Especially when there's people around. Perfection.
Are
you with me?
She's lost you.
Well, she's she's so she's been lazy. She
wants to be she wants to, like, repent.
She would just, like I'm I'm not I'm
talking about now with Ria, the guy showing
off in his prayer. Yeah. No. But what's
supposed to change? What's the prayer? No more.
Even if he start okay. There's some Abadat.
Now let me give you an example. There's
some
that are connected.
And there's there's some acts now that are
disconnected.
Okay. £500.
Yeah?
I've got 2 lots of £500.
The first £500
is on 8 day.
Missus Paxa,
I get the £500,
like,
and I want everyone to see.
People do that, you know, that's what happens,
Anan. It's a reality. May Allah save us
from all of this. It's a serious matter
that we should all be scared of.
That 500 pound he gets in front of
everyone, you know, sticks his hand out, stretches
it.
I've got another £500 in the other pocket.
Is these £500
connected?
No. If I get that 500, I need
to be sincere. You
do
is makes the intention that this
is inside.
Even since say with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
accept it. How many guests accept it? But
the Ibadah is now disconnected.
Are you live with me? But the salat
when you're praying 4 aqaat, it's a connected
Ibadah.
Did you hear me? Yeah.
Oh, no. No. I'm very just like a
lakar. The 3rd type is okay. The the
3rd section that he mentioned was,
if a person know,
he's doing it better.
And then Shaitan tries to whisper like tries
to get in.
Tries to get in, but he pushes it
away. This doesn't affect him at all.
Are you with me?
No. It's like 3 situations.
3 situations. The first situation like the riyab
the Munafikin. The second one
sometimes he does it, sometimes he doesn't. 3rd
situation,
he's doing Ibadalillah,
Shaitan comes out whispering in his ear, but
he pushes away, that doesn't affect him.
Are you now with me?
So the imam rahimahullah ta'ala started with the
best manah. Ikhtida and bikitabilaalaziz.
In imitation
with
the Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's book. What did
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala start his book with?
The best manna. Best manna means bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Likewise,
the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salam when he
used to write.
When he used to write a letter, he
used to write starting with the Bismillah.
When he wrote to her Hercules,
Herakala, in Arabic they say.
He said, Bismillah,
Herrahmanir Rahim, min Muhammad ibn Abdillah.
To the king of the great Rome.
Become a Muslim and you'll be safe.
Allah will give you the reward twice.
Okay?
What happens now if someone is against the
best manna?
Which best manna am I talking about though?
Am I talking about the Bismillahi
that comes between the Sur
or the Bismillahi that's mentioned in Surat Anamal
and sword hud. Bismillahi majireha.
And when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
We have to differentiate between the 2.
If someone negates now,
why is the of negating? Why does every
person negates any harf in the Quran? The
kafir. Kafir. What did Ali radhiallahu anhu say?
Man Jihad the Harfand
in
the
Quran. Whoever negates one letter of the Quran,
these guys are kaffir.
And
I'm gonna come on to that. And also
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
and nobody comes and negates our Ayaat except
that he's a kafir. That's why the rafir
are kafir.
Those that curse Aisha Radiallahu Anha, they are
kafir
without a shadow of a doubt. Because they
negated what?
Which ayat?
No.
Clearing her from these allegations.
That's the grib.
Are you live with me? No. That's the
grib.
That's why anyone that curses Ayesha for Zina
this guy is
finished.
This guy is gone.
Because now you've come and you've negated
Ayat from the Quran.
Okay. So if someone comes now and negates
the basmalah inside where?
Surat namal or surat
hood. This person is a kafir without a
shadow over there. He says, akhid is basmalah,
we shouldn't affirm it. Gone.
Taib.
As for the basmala
that comes between the sur
for all the except between
and
Whoever negates or affirms it, we don't call
him a kafir. And I'll tell you why.
Because the is
so broad in this issue. There's a big
on it. Whether it is an ayah from
the Quran, whether it is just there to
separate the Surah
and there's a ijma'ah.
Unanimous agreement that whoever affirms it on a
is not.
Okay.
Muhammad ibn Abdillah, Muhammad ibn Abdill Wahab.
He
says,
I ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
the most generous
and the lord of the great throne
to protect you in this dunya likewise the
Akhirah.
Here the Sheikh is taking our approach
as those of the Ulama have taken before
him
in making Dua for her the reader.
This is a Sunnah, means Sunani
and Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam. It is
a Sunnah from the Sunan of the prophet
salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Making dua for your brother.
Making dua for your brother in his absence.
Does the Sheikh know you? Adnan. Shamar Abdul
Wahab does he know you? He's making dua
for you in his in your absence.
Anyone that comes today to read his book,
Imam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab has already made
du'a for him.
And perhaps Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will accept
his du'a when you read his book.
Are you with me? The
prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam said
in Hadith.
The Dua, the one,
does for his Muslim brother in his absence
is Mustajaba is responded to, accepted.
Above this individual is making dua is a
malek. It's an angel that has been given
the responsibility to say what I mean.
And for you likewise.
Not only are you benefiting by making Dua
for your brother,
Not only is he benefiting rather you are
benefiting as well. So you're making Dua, Oh
Allah get my friend Samir married off to
a girl like this like this like this
with this characteristics.
You're like the Malaika says, Amin wala ke
messilun.
For you as well. Are you now with
me? Amin.
Amin. Amin.
Are you with me? Yeah?
He makes
Allah protects you in the dunya and likewise
the.
Where is that
statement that we always hear
And whoever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guides nobody
can misguide.
And whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala misguides, nobody
can guide.
So if you get the protection of your
lord in this dunya likewise the akhira,
there's nobody that can stand in your way.
Even Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is the wili.
He's the protector, the supporter.
Takes them out from the darkness into the
light. Who else took this approach of making
Dua for the reader?
We took this book before,
and I mentioned some 4
similar to this as well. The Lamia of
Sheikh Nissamatayeem Rahim Allah Ta'ala. Sheikh Zayed Al
Midkhali also mentioned this in his explanation
when he said
Are you with me?
Blesses you wherever you are.
Now I'm here still making dua for the
reader. That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blesses you
wherever you are.
And Allah
makes you from those that when he's given,
He is thankful to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And when he is tested his patient
And that when you make fall into a
sin
that you repent to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Are you with me?
Right
here.
It should be in your book.
Why when he's given something, he is thankful
to Allah Subhanahu. When he's tested,
he's patient.
And also
when
he falls into a sin, he repents back
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Are you with me?
The first issue regarding a shukr
regarding a shukr.
Allah is a powerful dua.
Because the Sheikh knows that the majority of
the people they don't think Allah is a
wajal. Where is the proof of this? Allah
says in the Quran
and few others that thank Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
2 things now, One thing we know that
the majority of the people are what?
They're not they're ungrateful to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
And secondly, that the majority doesn't show anything
as we're gonna come into inshallah ta'ala also
in Surah Sita.
It is from the matters of jahiliyah,
running after the majority.
Oh, everybody's following this guy we need to
follow him as well. He must be up
on the haqq.
If that was a reason, if that was
a Huja,
then we might as well become from those
I mentioned in the Ayah.
Few of those that, thank Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Nam. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala also says,
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala took you out of
the wombs of your mother. You didn't know
anything.
He gave you hearing. He gave you sight
and he gave you, you know, a mouth
to speak with.
Perhaps that you can, you know, so that
you may thank Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Prophet
will ask you a question. Yeah?
And the more one thinks about this, the
more grateful he becomes to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Because looking at those below you,
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallallahu alaihi wa
sallallahu
alaihi
wa sallam minkum. Do not look at those
that are higher than you.
Oh, that guy's got money. He's got BMW.
Why didn't Allah subhanahu?
Put that to the side. He said look
at those that are what? Lower than you.
Why? It makes you thank Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
You know when you see a blind person
walk into the Masjid,
what is the reaction of most people?
Oh, wallahi, the guy, he's blind, he can't
see. If a deaf person walks in, he
starts crying. If the guy is disabled on
a wheelchair and he can't speak,
How do you react?
In a very saddening way.
Imagine Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala made you like
that.
Are you with me?
When is the last time we even thanked
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for what we have?
From the eyes, from the hand?
We majority of us have just taken that
for granted. It's normal. So everybody's got it.
I think it just it has to happen.
There's people that don't have that.
That's why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says look
at those who are below you
so that you become thankful to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
The countless bounties.
How many bounties do we have?
Aqiwala, I knew, brother. I know, brother.
And this looks just how amazing this is.
Yeah?
There's maybe just one what do they call
it? Nerve
that's maybe cut in his body. One nerve.
How many nerves do we have in our
body? Millions. Sahib. Not millions, maybe Allah knows
best.
One of it cut
and his neck just keeps moving like that.
Can you see now? The countless bounties that
Imagine just one little thing that goes wrong
in your body.
One little thing that goes wrong in your
body and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said
if you was to count the blessings of
Allah, you will never be able to count
it.
The point is, so many things that Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given
us and a lot of us, wallahi, we
haven't been given the success
to
even thank Allah. When is the last time?
Bilalah alaykum, provinces and just think about
it. When is the last time from that
which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us, we
put and stuck our heads on a floor
in prostration to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
It'll be a very long time Sahib. It'll
be a very very long time.
Who's the one that's benefiting? Is it Allah
Azzawajal?
Allah doesn't care and doesn't need. Allah says,
You're the one that's in need of Allah
Azzawajal.
He's he's not in need of anyone. Then
what happens when you do that?
You thank me, I will increase you. Some
of the Salaf they used to wait.
They used to wait for a blessing to
come their way
So they can seize the opportunity. Thank Allah
Azzawajal, and Allah Azzawajal, he said,
the promise of Allah is that he doesn't
fail in his promise.
And they would what? Thank him and they
know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will increase
him in that blessing that he have.
Are you with me? Yeah?
If you look if you look in the
Quran,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta talks to us about
the prophets. Akhir, when we hear about the
prophets, they're meant to inspire us. The prophet
used to get inspired when he heard about
Nuh, when he heard about Musa, it would
inspire him.
So many so many ayat in the Quran
Allah tells us about Nuh alaihis salaam.
He was a thankful slave. Nam
Ibrahim alaihisat wasalam in
Ibrahim
thankful slave.
Prophet like that. And then you have the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam as the icing
on the cake.
Another way to be thankful to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is where? With your limbs.
With your limbs. By doing the Ibadat.
Where did I get this from? The Hadith
of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Ikhwan,
the Prophet's
past sins, future sins were forgiven.
The Prophet is standing throughout the whole night.
His feet are becoming red. Aisha saying to
him, You Rasool Allah, why are you doing
this to yourself?
What's his reply?
Shall I not be thankful safe to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So you understand from this by doing actions,
you are being thankful to Allah Jallahu Wa
Ta'ala.
And then you have Musiba,
when you're afflicted with an affliction.
Ibn Al Khaim says
and he mentioned 3 pillars
of,
when a person is afflicted to with an
affliction.
So he mentioned that
is for one to control himself.
And on becoming enraged in that which Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala has afflicted him with.
Want to control his tongue
to stop himself from speaking
and complaining
when he's afflicted with an affliction.
And to control your limbs.
From what?
From disobeying Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
From like hitting yourself.
You know, when women, you know,
some women when, you know, someone passes away
they start hitting themselves.
And also they start ripping their clothes and
everything. Why?
Women they take out their hair, the guy
dumps her,
pens come out,
they start ripping their skin up.
Why?
Because the guy dumped them in it. Who's
it?
You didn't see him.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because, well, I know a
brother, a very close brother, a friend of
mine.
When he got married, there's a girl that
really really liked him.
Liked him to another level.
She loved him.
She got a pen. She's going crazy.
Ripping herself up.
There's women that sometimes when they become so
lovesick,
because of what?
Qadr of Allah accepting
the Qadr of Allah is a wajal. Wallahi
prophets and you know
just like knowing the matters pertaining Al Qadr
there's one thing knowing and there's one thing
applying it.
When you got the hadith that everything was
written down 50 1000 years before the heavens
and the earth were created it was written
down.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does it for a
reason.
Something happens
and it's good for you.
But you dislike it and the other way
around, but Allah knows that you don't know.
Some of the things happen for a reason.
Maybe that guy is not good for you.
He would have dumped you as soon as
he got married to you, you know.
You
know every time I speak about Kaadah something
comes to my mind. I remember,
my wife had a miscarriage.
You know what miscarriages?
And that same week, I remember that same
week I was teaching Al Qadr.
So it was really good, SubhanAllah, you know.
I just like I remember I got the
phone call while I'm on my Tuesday lesson
in Nottingham.
I just finished this in Qadah.
And then that comes
oh, Allah Iman.
It's not easy it's not easy going through
a thing, but when you got the Ayat
it really really helps in it, really helps.
Is that clear? Yeah?
Okay.
The Iftila
can happen for many different reasons.
Sometimes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants to raise
his individual.
He wants to raise an individual.
When does a person become established on the
earth?
He said Badal Ibtila. You'll be tested you
get people shouting at you swearing at you.
When you're patient, then you'll be given and
you'll be established upon earth, but you'll go
through a * of a lot. Even
Allah
And the messengers before us
they were lied against, they were rejected
until
our Nasser came to them.
Even Imam Muqdil ibn Hadi
Rahima Allah Ta'ala my Sheikh's Sheikh who passed
away.
He used to say,
The one.
The one that wants to aid the haqq
they have to speak about. They're gonna speak
about
it. Hadith that
Sheikh mentioned today when Warakay ibn Nawfa said
to the prophet SAW Allah, what did he
say to him?
Never did someone come with that which you
came with except that he was harmed.
So the point is a person go through
Ibtila he will be tested
and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants to establish
him upon the earth. There's hadith that says,
Inalaha,
either a habba shaksan,
Ibtillahu.
If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loves someone, he
will test him.
And it came another hadith when the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
The most severely
tested people of the Ambia.
Then those that are like them and those
that are like them a person he's tested,
to the fullest,
according to his religion. So if a person
is strong,
he'll get tested hard.
If he's weak, maybe someone or he might
even get tested.
Sometimes they said, if they used to get
pregnant.
If a test is not coming their way,
okay, maybe there's something wrong with me.
Because, you know, testing is something of a
good thing, you know.
Sometimes it could be due to your sins.
You've done something, you get afflicted.
You might lose your job because of what?
You're doing that sin? The prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, he said,
A man he's prevented the risk provision because
of a sin that he did.
And it came in, in the Quran where
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
Never are you afflicted with an affliction except
with that which you did with your own
hands.
Blame yourself
sometimes. And Allah Subhanahu also says
Fassad, corruption has now become apparent upon the
earth and the seas due to what the
people they did with their own hands.
Are you with me?
Sometimes it could be takfir Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala wants to expiate a person since
the hadith.
A thorn, you know, something small
except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala explains his sins.
So it could be to different reasons to
a person who needs to look at a
situation.
Then
sorry
when he falls into a sin
he repents to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
Tawba has what? How many shurut?
3. But if it's connected to someone else,
4.
If one wants to now sincerely make Tawba
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
You find, you know, you some sometimes it's
turned into a joke.
Yeah?
Has turned into a joke. And I'll tell
you what, that guy says, I'm gonna make,
you know, see forgiveness from Allah and then
he goes back to it.
He says, Achi inshallah Allah, I'm gonna make
Tubastafra, it does
again. That's not that's that's like a jokey
Tawba.
That is, this guy is messing around. He's
playing games.
So he's a condition that we should know.
And you find a lot of people, especially
in the universities, they say this,
He's taking a mick,
then he goes back to his girlfriend.
He goes back to his girlfriend.
So the condition should be known.
What if you like mean?
We're gonna come on to that. And then
keep coming back to We're gonna come on
to that.
The first condition,
Being regretful
and remorcing over that which has proceeded
from your sins.
And we're coming on to it now.
To immediately give it up.
Not like a kheda guy is doing zina
and he's
saying You need to stop what you're doing.
Do you get what I'm saying?
A guy kissing his girlfriend and saying stuff
for Allah every time you know.
Or him stealing, and while he's running with
the Chris from the shop, he's saying
I mean, is
that the second one or the third one?
The second one. Okay. So does the second
one, okay, is that easy to Immediately give
up.
There and then.
That he makes a decision that he is
not going to go back to it.
Fil Mustaqbal in the future.
And all of these 3 all of these
3,
nam,
it basically needs to come combined when that
person is making a toba.
Are you with me?
Sheikh Salih Al Fozan was asked a question
similar to this. A guy now he makes
tawba then he goes back to it, makes
tawba, goes back. Some people are sincere,
They're addicted.
And Sheikh Sala Al Fazal mentioned the fact
that he keeps going back to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. This is a good
thing.
That's a good thing.
And the Tawba is only for those who
do ignorant stuff.
Say you add, sins
out of ignorance,
but they come running back to Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And Allah says
Allah
says when
he reaches a person's you know, it's called
the Ghar Ghar Ghar Ghar Ghar Like Firaun,
when he's reaching basically Adha and makes Tawba
then.
And
also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says in
the Quran,
and this is from the signs of the
people of Jannah in Surat Al Imran.
People of Jannah are going to do FaheSha.
They're going to look on for stuff.
Or they oppress themselves,
they
remember Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
But they don't persist in that which they
are doing. From this is the this is
the from the signs of the people of
Jannah,
that they are gonna perform Fawahish,
but they run back to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. The problem with us today let me
tell you the problem with us today.
We sin, but we don't go back.
The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
Son of Adam is someone that constantly makes
mistakes all the time, all the time.
But
the best of them are those that repent
from their mistakes.
And also came in hadith
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying hadith
You make mistakes day and night.
You make mistakes day and night.
And I forgive all sins.
This step a lot of people don't do.
Fastaghfirullahq
come to me,
let me forgive you. But a lot of
people don't do it. How easy is it
to say stuff for Allah? To think about
your mistakes. Akhir, I did this, I did
that. That and we're gonna sin all day
long.
But when do we go back? What's the
difference between Tawbat and Nusoha and,
Since your Tawbat.
Oh. Yeah?
The difference between the Tawba to Nusoha
and Tawba to Tala'ub
and the Joki Tawba and this one is
a condition that we mentioned. And the 4th
condition when it's now related
to the
It's related to the
Human being.
If you steal something from someone or you
oppress him or you say something about him,
you need to go and seek forgiveness from
this individual. If you've taken something, you give
it back.
That's if it's connected now with the.
You know with me?
But if it's between you and Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala,
you do the 3.
What do you call it?
And InshaAllah Ta'ala, I'll conclude the lesson of
this.
Ibn Uthaymi, he mentions in his Kitab Arabic
in a no way.
If you've done something now and you know
that this is now going to lead to
a bigger issue,
It's going to cause you problems.
That drug dealer you stole from, you can't
even oppress a kafir.
When he was back in Jahili you stole
his phone, you stole his money under his
car, you took it out.
You knowing that you taking the stuff back
to him,
okay that's the end of your life.
This guy is gonna come for you, he's
gonna give problems to your family and everything.
Otherwise you don't do it.
And if it's like something that is really
hard, you store something at the age
of 13 and you was living in Sweden
and it's really really difficult then you know,
especially if it's going to lead to a
bigger evil. We know there's a principle in
our religion
that you can't disapprove and this is regarding
disapproving of an evil, but you can still
understand from it.
If you're gonna disapprove of an evil and
it's going to lead to a bigger issue,
you don't disapprove of it.
Where do we get this from?
Allah Subhanahu
Wa
Ta'ala
saying,
am
I allowed to speak
ill of, the Hindu gods? I can say
wherever
I
want. Everything I can say that.
I know with me.
But
if they are not going to lead
them coming and swearing Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
what's this? Can I do that? No, of
course I can't because this is a big
evil now. And likewise, if I go into
a church now,
and I break the statues
or
the cross that they have,
And I know they're gonna come to the
masjid and they're gonna burn it. I might
have to do that my Jews. Look what's
happening now in Paris or what that which
happened in Paris.
Even though what they did wasn't correct, for
argument's sake I'm not saying it's correct.
For argument's sake, let's just say that it
was correct to do.
And this was justified.
Look what's happening to the Muslims now.
See all the evil that came out of
it.
Woman getting thrown on the train. This happening.
This guy. All over the media. Fox News.
Fox News. They love it.
Fox News, Wallahi blatantly
against Islam.
As soon they're just waiting for the opportunity
for someone to pop up, so so they
can have one against the Muslims.
All over the news.
What's that guy called Murdoch?
Rupert Murdoch
comes onto the newspaper just waiting for the
opportunity
in it. 1 in 6
Muslims,
that was, what's the name?
He had over a 1000000 views, over a
1000000 views.
So he said to him, are you live
with me? This guy came out and he
made the video
on Reuben Murdoch, who's the guy that owns
his son.
He said, does that mean now
my brother's got 6 people in his family?
My other brother's gone on and 6 people
in my family in his family.
There's now 3 sympathizers for ISIS.
Akhir, that video went viral.
It went viral like no tomorrow,
and it made them look really, really stupid
in it.
So you had to retract it and take
it back and
but the point is they're waiting for these
opportunities, waiting for it.
So they can take whatever you want to
say, wherever you're done, put it on there
and make Al Islam look really, really bad.
