They mentioned
The Qadr
which is the preordained decree.
The good of it and the evil of
it is from Allah
as we know
that, it is from the matters of Al
Iman that one needs to believe in.
From the matters of the Ghaib from the
matters of the unseen
it is upon us to believe from the
matters of the unseen that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala has told us about even though we
haven't seen it with the eyes
can anyone see the Qadr the Noor Al
Mahfood the preserved tablet
is anyone able to see that which is
on there nobody can see this Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala has praised those who have believed
in the unseen
and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says, if you
ask later
Those that believe in the grave, in the
unseen,
Allah then says
These people
are upon the guidance of their lord.
I skipped the to say,
Oliver.
Say,
and these people are successful. So the is
something that is
upon a person to
believe in.
He mentioned his book before as Sunnah.
Does it mean the sunnah,
like, it is okay for someone to either
do it or leave it? No. It is
the type of sunnah
when it comes in the that it is
mandatory
for a person to believe that was in
the book that we previously studied
It is from the Aqa'id of Ahlul Sunnah
that is Wajib,
and anyone that negates
the Qadr
after the proofs have come to him,
then this is clear negation of the Quran.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala clearly tells in the
Quran
Also, another ayah talks about the Qadr.
Naha'am. And also the hadith of Jibril. What
did the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say?
That the 6 pillars of an iman, one
of them is what the person believes in
the qadr.
And if anyone negates the Qadr, this person
is not a Muslim.
Someone says, Taeib, I believe in Allah, but
the Qadr is not part of the religion,
this person is not Muslim.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says to us,
Nobody negates our Ayat except that he's a
Kafir.
Abdoulayb N Umar,
look at the statement of Abdoulayb N Umar
And this shows you the importance of Al
Aqeedah.
If a person is committing
the best of the Ibadat,
Every single layl.
Every single night he's praying.
He's spending all his money in in in
sadaqah.
He prays, martialize, prayer is intact.
He knows the inside out.
He knows all the schools of thought.
Is this is this a statement?
No. I'm just saying. No. That's not his
statement. If a person believes in all these
matters and he perfects his but his
is messed up, it doesn't benefit him at
all. Pay attention look what he mentioned
if any of you Lot had a mountain
of gold
if any of you Lot had a mountain
of gold
like Uhud, uhud
takes 3 4 hours to climb
So a very big mountain.
If any of you had like uhud in
gold,
Then he got that gold that he has,
that is the size of Uhud, and he
spent in charity, sadaqah.
In the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Allah won't accept it from him until he
believes in the Qadr.
Until he believes in the Qadr.
Who said this? Abdul Abi Nur Umar. That
statement of Statement of Abdul Abi Nur Umar.
If one had like a mountain of gold,
like wushud,
then he gave in charity. Nothing will be
accepted from him had,
until he believes in the qadah. This is
one aspect of.
And then today, someone comes and says to
us, the is not written in the Quran.
Where's in the Quran?
Exactly.
So if a person,
the people that I know in Hadaromot, in
in Yemen, where you study,
They'll tell you the inside
out.
Day and night, the Iba, the Iba, they
are constantly making Tasbeah,
but at the same time they go to
the grave, and the grave worshiping.
So nothing is accepted from this person,
because what? He's committed shirk,
or he's disbelieved
in some of the aspects of Al Aqidah
that are clearly mentioned in the Quran.
It's a clear one. So you have the
adillah, qayb.
1 can cannot believe in the Qadr until
he believes in 4 matters.
1 cannot truly believe in Al Qadr until
he believes in 4 matters.
Do you wanna read, Abdallah? Read it.
It's also mentioned in the hashiya,
at the bottom of page 10,
these aspects of Al Qadr, but I'm gonna
go into it in very in much detail.
So one cannot believe in Al Qadr until
he believes in Formatism. Brothers, pay attention here,
pay attention here, the first one the Ilm
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
the knowledge of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knew
before it happened,
that's point number 1
And this one you find under this one,
the knowledge of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala put
4 points. Four bullet points.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knew that which
took place before it took place, so past
tense.
Allah
knows before it takes place.
And there were people in the time of
Abdullah ibn Umar that negated this.
There were people in the time of Abdullah
ibn Umar that negated this.
Was from the tremendous of the
They went out him and another
they went out
They said, if we meet any of the
Sahaba, we're gonna ask them about this matter.
So they saw Abdullah ibn Umar when they
went out to Hajj.
They said to him,
and there's people that pursue knowledge.
They claim
that the Amr is meaning,
this Ibarah means that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
doesn't know
until it takes place.
So me dropping this paper,
this paper I have in my hand, I'm
dropping it right now. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
doesn't know he's gonna get dropped until after
I drop it.
So he doesn't know before he actually takes
place.
So Abdullah ibn Umar, he mentions,
tell these people,
Tell these people, I'm free from them, and
they're free from me.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala second point, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala knows that which is taking place
right now.
So present tense.
What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
say? Never is there a group of 3
people talking except Allah
is the 4th one.
Is home. Never is a group of 5
that are speaking
in secret except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
the 6th person.
Or the 6th one? Surat.
Surat?
Surat.
And
also,
Allah
mentioned
And do you not know and do you
not see that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows
that which is in the heavens and earth?
So there's nothing that takes place except Allah
knows.
3rd point, Allah
knows
that which is going to take place
in the future.
Is there anyone that knows that's what's gonna
take place in the future?
Only Allah
knows. He sends down the rain, He knows
when it's coming down the rain.
He knows that which is in the womb.
Well, whether she's gonna have a boy or
a girl before any of these doctors know.
And nobody knows that which is gonna happen
tomorrow.
And nobody knows when they are going to
die. Only Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he is
the
4th point,
hypothetically speaking, if something was going to happen,
how this would take place?
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Allah
knows that which is going to take
place. If something was going to take place,
how this would take place?
If something was going to take place, how
this would take place? Hypothetically speaking.
And the proof of this is a statement
of
Allah
And when you see the people when they
are in front of the fire,
Some people, they will say, woe to us.
If only we could return,
and we wouldn't reject the ayat,
and we would be believers.
What does Allah say?
Now it has become apparent to them that
which they used to hide before.
And if they were to go back,
they would just basically carry on from where
they left off.
Are these people gonna go back?
Are these people gonna go back on Yom
Al Qiyyim when everything has been
judged?
Nobody's gonna go back Allah says if they
were to go back they would carry on
doing the wish they used to do.
Even though that's not something that's gonna happen,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala already knows that if
it was going to happen, what these people
would do?
Which Surah would Surah Al Anam.
Is that clear?
If
they were to go back, they will just
carry on from where they left off.
We're gonna come on to that. Otherwise, the
people are going
to play.
The second aspect of Al Qaeda,
everything that takes place in this universe is
written down.
Everything that takes place in this universe is
written down.
The Prophet SAW
He mentioned
Allah
decreed.
And he preordained everything,
50000
years before the heavens and the earth were
created.
When Allah
created a pen, He said to the pen,
Uqtub.
Allah
told the pen, write.
Again the point that he was mentioning in
the previous lesson, can depend, does the pen
have
a tongue and a thing? Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, made the pen speak,
So the pen says to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, what shall I write down? He said
write down everything that's going to take place
until
the day of judgment.
What was Jigweh Islam in existence
during that time when you talk about now?
When you told the pen to write?
But that's the time when the,
because they say, you know, there's a dispute
regarding
whether
the pen was the first thing
or the arsh
this hadith he said
The first thing that Allah
created was the pen.
But it says in another hadith,
When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala created everything,
His arsh was already what?
On top of the water. So the ulama
differed. Is it was it a pen the
first funeral was created, or was it ash?
But
the rajah is that ash was already there,
and then Allah
created the pen and told the pen to
write.
So from the apparent is that what?
This was before there was any creation at
all.
I'll definitely check on that.
Because if if you if if if it
was known,
if it was true that he was known,
it was created by the pen who's created,
and then that's
And the other thing we have to know
as well, that
It is the preserved tablet
that nobody will come close to knowing what's
inside there. Only specific to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say in
the end of
Surat Al A'la?
So everything is written down. After, we'll check
on it,
but every single thing is written down.
And also, what did the prophet
say?
If the jinn and the ins were to
come together to try and benefit you in
something, they wouldn't be able to benefit you
except from that,
which Allah wrote down for you.
And if they were to come together
to try and harm you or bring harm
towards you, they wouldn't be able to do
that until what?
Accept that which Allah wrote down.
How many times this happened?
That people and I've seen this in my
own eyes.
Back in Jahiliya, I remember in Lester. There
was a lot of fighting between
the black
Africans and also the Somali people.
This is before I went to Yemen, so
at a time, I remember there was a
lot of Somali brothers, they were standing outside
a guy's house,
That time, even someone got stabbed, his intestine
came out of Somali brother a couple of
years back. Al Akulin, there was war between
them. Here in Haifus, everyone was running around.
You know what Auckland School is? I remember
they're running around there. These guys are chasing
each other, then they're chasing
the whole point is there was a time
when everybody was standing at the door of
this guy waiting for him to come back.
The guy's on tag.
Everybody knows he's coming home, what, at 7
o'clock.
So for the last hour and a half,
everyone was just standing around this house.
You're most likely to say to yourself, this
guy has got in.
Battle today.
Everyone standing around his house,
What happened all of a sudden,
out of the blue, the guy comes, he
slips under everyone and he goes in his
house, drops his bike and he goes in
his house.
The whole point is, if the and the
ins I'm not saying the and the ins,
they came together to harm this guy, but
if people were to applaud,
and they were trying to make plans and
everything to harm someone, and it's not written
down, they wouldn't be able to do so.
The third aspect, likhwan,
the Will of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Nothing takes place in this universe,
nothing takes place in this universe,
except by the Will of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
And say, oh, Muhammad,
that
the mulk, the kingdom is for Allah
He gives the mulk, the kingdom, to whoever
he wants. He takes away from whoever he
wants.
He honors whoever he wants, and he humiliates
anyone he wants.
And everything, all the good is in the
hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Is that clear? So pay attention. The first
one is what of Allah. 2nd,
Everything is written down. 3rd, nothing takes place
except by the will of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
What?
The 4th one is 1,
that every single thing has been created by
Allah
He has created you, and he has created
your actions as well.
3rd one is Moshiya.
Nothing takes place in this universe except by
the will of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So
it's called Meshi. Meshi. What is English?
Will.
The 4th one is what Al Khark.
Everything has been created by Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. You and your actions as well. Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says pay
attention to this one as well because there's
something gonna come after it that is directly
connected to this.
Are you with me?
Allah has created you and has created your
actions as well.
We just mentioned now that Allah
has created everything.
And we mentioned Allah
created
the actions
of a person.
So can I say now if Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala has created me and my actions,
I have no choice whatsoever?
Whatever I do is the creation of Allah
I
am like a feather in the middle of
the wind.
Because Allah
so if I go into a shop, and
I steal the prong cocktails, walker's grip,
it is what? Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
created it. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala created my
actions.
When I do with my girlfriend, or when
I kill off, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala created
my actions.
Can I blame the Qadr
for what I do?
So how do you put this together?
Or some of the example that the they
bring,
is like
a dead man. You know a dead man
that's being washed
at his funeral. Before his funeral happens, a
man is washed, isn't it?
When you put his hand up, does he
have any choice? You drop his hand, his
hand drops. You pull his leg up, his
leg drops.
Right? So this person, I like a dead
person between the hands of those who are
washing him.
So does that mean, brothers, that I'm like
a feather in the middle of the wind?
I have no choice whatsoever.
No. Allah
has affirmed for me, mashiach.
I have the will to do whatever I
want.
From whoever amongst you wants to be upon
the correct path, he has the ability, Allah
mentions.
No.
No.
Here, the point is that a person has
a will.
As for blaming the qadr, this statement,
okay, I am stealing because Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala written down for me is similar to
the statements of the
Allah
tells
about the The Mushriks, they say, if it
wasn't for Allah
us and our fathers, we wouldn't have done
shirk. What did they do? They blamed Allah
So this statement,
make sure you write this down Ikhwan, it
is similar to the statements of the Mushriks.
Blaming the Qadr, that's what they did. They
blamed Allah
for the shirk they did, and the shirk
of the Abba, their fathers.
I'm not sure.
And also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said
And we wouldn't have,
made anything unlawful, similar ayah to the first
one that we mentioned, but Allah
tells that they're liars.
And that's a. 2nd
eye is in,
And also, I see
a statement that we hear all the time.
Someone that has totally lost hope
in Allah
He's been doing for
40 years. He's been doing evil.
He says,
I am going to the fire.
I am going to the fire.
We say to this person,
how do you know how do you know
that you're going to the fire?
How do you know what is your abode
or where you're gonna be ending up?
Have you not had this statement before someone
say, Halaswalahee.
Okay. That's it. You know? I'm I'm from
the people of the fire. I've been doing
sin all my life. There's no going back
for me. End of.
What happened to the one that killed 99?
He went to the rabbi, the rabbi said
to him, nothing.
You can't do anything.
You're finished.
Beat it into a 100.
Went to the sheikh, the sheikh told him
what?
Make hijrah,
so there's always hope for a person, and
also the Prophet
told us,
and this hadith is important,
This hadith is important.
A man, he keeps doing the actions of
the people of the fire.
Until there's only a hand span
a arm span, sorry, between him and the
fire.
So one can be doing sin all his
life, but Allah
gives him Hidayah,
at the end of his life, what happens?
He enters into Jannah.
So we say to this person, how do
you know where you're going?
Allah, the Prophet mentioned on the hadith,
There's no
a nafs that breathes, except
Allah
has written
whether it's going to be from the people
of the fire or from the people of
the Jannah.
So
Shall we not just totally depend on that
which has been written down?
And leave off all actions,
leave off doing anything.
This is a statement of a man in
the time of the prophet
Shall we not just totally rely on that
which has been written down
and just leave of actions?
No. The
prophet said
perform,
And anyone who is easy for him to
do something hit will become easy for him
to do that particular action.
So if you're from the people of the
fire, you'll be you'll be going in the
direction of the people of the fire.
But you don't know, and it's upon you
to take every single suburb of being on
the straight path, and you have the choice
to do so, as Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
mentioned to us.
Pizza.
Which part?
Okay. A man said, A man said to
the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
Shall we not just totally depend on that
which has been written down and leave of
the actions?
After the Prophet told him what?
There is not enough,
a soul,
except it has been written down for him
if he's gonna be from the people of
the fire or the people of the Jannah.
So the master Khalas will lie then, you
know, you might as well, you know, just
totally
depend and just chill and not do anything.
No. But the prophet said to him perform.
Do actions.
We mentioned what that person has a choice
when you are not driving you're driving, masha
Allah, abiding by the law, 30 miles per
hour.
Forget 30 miles, you're driving at 20 miles
per hour because you don't wanna go over
the speed limit.
You're taking order as bath to drive properly.
You're not driving recklessly.
You get into an accident.
You have the choice to stop yourself from
getting into an accident.
We just mentioned now what? That the
One has a choice. One has a choice
to do whatever he wants.
You just go into an accident.
Majority of those that get into accident do
you do they ever choose to get into
the accident
okay when a dog now
comes running behind you
and you flinch
You have the choice to stop yourself from
flinching or not?
We got in the house here.
Should we do in takabad?
Voting.
The
the will is split into 2.
The will is split into 2.
And also
Someone that does an action out of choice,
and when one is compelled to do something.
The Aman is split into 2.
You could say that. However you wanna put
it.
My English is sometimes not the best.
If comes from the word.
When something happens and a person is compelled
to do it.
Who's that, though?
When someone does something out of choice.
So when a dot comes and he walks
behind you and runs behind you and you
flinch, you don't have the choice to do
anything. And, likewise, when you get into an
accident,
and you've taken all the things like that,
when you hear the adam, when you hear
the adam brothers,
yeah? You hear the adam being called,
one has the choice to either accept the
call or what? Turn away. To carry on
playing whatever he's playing with or to what?
Attend the salat.
In this case, do we say this person
is a what?
Or we say his finger is.
We say it's a matter of what choice?
So this is what Allah has Sunnah. Some
of them they say what,
like the the,
the,
or
the
Now that one is forced.
There's from them that negate the Qadr.
Taib. And, inshallah, next we will move on
to it further.
One is forced to do actions.
One
is called, they call it Jiberia. Sorry. What
do I say?
The Jiberia.
The Jiberia.
Under the umbrella of Al Qadari, you find
different.
You find some of them they say that
the Ibad is Majbur,
like the Jabariya.
It comes from the word If
I say
I force comes from the word comes from,
comes
from
If I say
is like
meaning he's forced to do something.
So these people, they say what? That one
is forced.
One is forced to do
all these actions because Allah
created him and his actions, but we mentioned
what the Allah
affirms,
What the Ikhtyar and the Meshiah to the
Ibaal. He has the ability to do whatever
he wants.
Is it Maqulih one? Is it Maqul?
If I put someone now on a cliff,
does he have the choice to either move
away or to
chuck himself off?
Does anyone ever stand in front of the
cliff saying,
I'm being thrown off the cliff, and he's
walking himself?
Nobody
ever
says
that.
And
this
this part is very, very important, Juan, so
pay attention.
And brothers,
we're gonna be now speaking about the atheist's
law.
Sometimes you have to understand, some of our
Muslim brothers,
they have been afflicted by the doubts of
the atheists.
Why? Because they have come from the angle
of what intellect
with intellectual examples.
If a person doesn't believe in the Quran
and the Sunnah,
then it will be difficult for him to
understand the issue of Al Qadr.
So you have to firstly believe that the
prophet
speaks
the
truth. And one sign of prophecy,
and one time wanna do a series of,
the signs of prophecy.
And I wanna do a whole series of
atheists and things like that recorded.
If Allah
makes it easy. Now you have to make
a person understand
this Muslim, that what the Prophet is
saying
is the truth,
and bring him intellectual examples of things that
have taken place.
What did the prophet tell us in Hadith
Jibreel?
When he said oh, and said to the
prophet
and
Tell me of the signs of the hour.
When you find barefoot in Bedwins
competing in buildings
when did the Prophet sallallahu alaihi submission this
hadith? Can anyone tell me?
Approximately when?
1400 years ago, Sahib.
Brothers, you know in Dubai, in Dubai,
60 years ago or 70 years ago,
all these buildings that we find now, none
of it was there.
It was what?
And desert.
And sometimes if you go speak to some
of the Arabs from that time who are
they'll speak to you in such a way
where you think that these people lie there,
they're a few years behind.
Only when they found out this petrol, when
this petrol, they started building and things like
that, and some of them are now what?
Competing in building and etcetera.
The prophet told us 1400 years ago.
Any guy you ask him how was Dubai
60 years ago, he will tell you exactly
the same thing.
So what I'm kinda kafir or Muslim? Well,
this guy is a kafir or Muslim.
So you tell him the prophet
said 1400 years ago, there's a chain of
narration
so you can make a person understand the
prophet
SAW spoke the truth and he only speaks
the truth.
