A means of getting closer to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala And this is something that has
been mentioned in the Quran.
No. I'm legislated as mentioned in the Quran.
No.
The second one is
through
Righteous actions.
Through the righteous actions
and the famous story that
that is not hidden
from you brothers
is those 3 that were stuck in a
cave.
Those 3 that were stuck in a cave.
You don't know the story?
Those 3 that were stuck in a cave,
one of them,
he
he was really in love with his cousin.
He was really in love with his cousin
and
she needed money one day.
So she came up to him and she
said can you borrow me this money? He
said to her I'll give you that money
but me and you have to do it
together.
So he sat
between her legs, he was about to have
sexual * with her but she told him
do not break the seal except
in a way what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has made it lawful. So he ended up
leaving her, he gave her the money and
he left her alone.
So when they were stuck in the cave,
he made dua, oh Allah, if I did
this sincerely for your face, then please open
this
rock
that is covering the entrance of the cave.
That was the first one.
2nd individual,
he had
parents
and he was also a married man with
kids.
He was a married man with kids.
There was a night where he ended up
coming late
and he had milk with him, he had
milk
for his parents.
And his kids were crying you know, they
were literally on his feet crying
because they were so
hungry and he would normally feed his parents
before anyone else.
And this is now a great example of
how one should be truthful to his parents
and etc.
So he waited the whole night, he waited
the whole night
standing there with his kids crying at his
feet
because he did not want to wake up
his parents.
And after they woke up he gave them
the
milk. The 3rd individual
he had someone that used to work for
him.
The last month he never came and picked
up his wage. So what the owner of
the business did,
he
got the money that was meant to be
for that worker, he put it back into
the business.
So the business became better and better and
he increased his profits and things like that.
A very long time after the guy came
back can I have my money please?
He came back to him asking for his
ways from that.
So the owner of the business said to
him that which is between these two mountains
and he was packed with livestock
it is yours.
The guy thought
he was having a joke with him,
and it came to some narrations when he
was walking he was looking back maybe, you
know, he's going to do something to me,
he's walking, is he actually being truthful?
And he was looking back behind his, you
know, checking.
So
all of them they made Dua, oh Allah,
if I did this sincerely for your face,
you know, sincerely for yourself,
then uncover
the stone that is,
you know, covering the entrance of the cave.
So what did these people do? They made
dua to Allah
through what?
Their righteous actions.
That's another form of that is perfectly permissible.
The third type
a Dua
Birajulinsali
making Dua through a righteous individual.
What does Sahaba did? There was a time
where
rain wasn't coming down.
Time of Umar Khattab
he asked
who? He asked the uncle of the prophet
who was from the most righteous amongst them
to make du'a to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to send down the rain. It's his highest
code. The
Sahaba
they could have easily
gone to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's
grave.
They could have gone to the den to
ask for you know
them to ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to
send down the rain and etcetera but did
the sahaba do
that? No, they didn't. They went up to
Abbas to ask him to make dua to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Are you with me?
I'm in Hajj? Yeah. I shouldn't have said,
are you are you alone with me? I
should ask you the question.
So these are three forms that are perfectly
permissible. Why? Because we have no sues.
We got
text from the Quran and the Sunnah and
how the Sahaba they dealt with certain matters.
As for some narrations that Anas ibn Malik
he went and he you know prostrated onto
the grave in order to ask for rain
and etcetera.
Narrations that are fabricated that have no Assal
whatsoever and I go against the clear cut
proofs of the Quran
The third principle.
An Nabiya Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
That the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam came to
people
who were disunited
in their worship.
From them were those who used to worship
the Malaika.
And from them was those who used to
worship the Ambia,
the prophets.
And the righteous.
And from them was those who used to
worship trees
and stones.
And from them were those who used to
worship the sun and the moon.
And the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam fought all
of them and he didn't differentiate between any
of them.
He didn't say 'okay allow this guy he
is only worshipping the Malaika'
rather we should only find the guy who
is worshipping the stones'.
All of them were 1!
All of them were 1.
And what is the Sheikh,
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have mercy upon
him, trying to prove here?
The kind of statement that I previously mentioned
as well,
when they say do you see the people
worshipping Islam?'
As if that is the only form of
shirk that the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam waged
war against.
As I mentioned before, I hear this every
single time I go to Hajj, as soon
as you start speaking about Tawhid and Shirk,
Akhid you see the people worshipping Islam
Was that the only
form of shirk the prophet
warned against or the Quran came to 1
against?
Why?
From the people that were there at the
time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
They were from those who worshiped other than
statues
and the Prophet
SAW didn't
differentiate between any of them.
And the proof of this is the statement
of Allah
And keep fighting them until they're no fitna,
a fitna to shirk.
Until the whole religion is solely for Allah
And now the Sheikh is going to bring
us many proofs and evidences from the types
of shirk that took place
and how Allah
in his Quran has warned us against what?
Worshipping
different forms of
things
And the proof that shows us regarding
the shims and the kamar the sun and
the moon. Where Allah
says
And from the signs of Allah
is the night
and the day, the sun and the moon.
Let us
do Do not frustrate to the shams, the
sun and likewise the moon.
Here, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala warn you against
what?
Worshipping the sun and likewise the moon.
There's even people until and you find today
at the time of Asir when the sun
is moving
that's the time when they dedicate.
Some musicians musicians.
And
back in Jahiliya, I remember back in Jahiliya,
I was watching something called,
what's it called?
Not transformers.
There's a thing that exposes the music industry
and things like that, forgot what it's called.
Alakulin,
they got you know that famous singer called
Asha?
He had a music video I can't remember
what
He would start dancing
and he start making moves,
you know, at the time when the sun
is moving.
And as soon as the Sun stops moving
it stops.
They would dedicate acts to who? To the
Sun.
Allah these musicians you find that they are
devoted to the Sun.
Illumina what do you call it? Illuminai?
Illuminati and things like that. Now I'm worshippers
of the sun and etcetera.
I was back in Jahili guys, I don't
watch music videos nowadays.
Like Waddalid Al Malaika,
and the proof
in regards to worshiping the Malayik Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Hey Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is warning the
people Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala He doesn't command
you to take the Malaika
and the Prophets
as deities besides Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the proof for
ambia. Why she bring the prophets?
When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said,
Did you say to the people
take me
and my mother
as gods besides Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala?
He'll say glory be to you.
It is not for me to say that
which I don't have any right of.
If I said this you know of it
already.
You know that which is inside me and
I do not know what is inside you.
You
are someone that
has
much knowledge in regards to the unseen.
How many Ayat there in the Quran that
warn against what?
Worshipping Aesah alaihi salat wasalam
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in the Quran
And many other Ayat to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala he talks about
not worshipping Isa
and not worshipping his mom.
Another proof pertaining
worshiping the righteous.
There's a story behind this,
on the authority of Abdullah Musudin Radiallahu An.
By the way, who was Abdullah Musudin Radiallahu
An? He was someone
that
knew the Quran
very very well from the companions. Him and
ibn Abbas they were people who knew the
Quran very very well.
He
said
They have 2.
There's not a verse in the Quran
except
that I know where it came down
and upon what it came down.
And if I knew anyone that knew more
of the Quran than me and I knew
that the riding camel could reach I would
have I would have gone.
When it comes to the Quran, Abdulrahimus Oud
his tafsir is serious.
Regarding this
Those whom they call upon themselves, they seek
a means now of getting closer to Allah
through
what?
They there was
a group of the jinn.
They became Muslim
used to be worshipped.
So, you have these jinns
by the way jinns are real
we believe in jinn There's a whole surah
in the Quran that talks about jinn They
used to be worshipped
They used to be worshipped.
Then what happened was the
Jin they became
Muslim
and those that used to worship them they
carried on worshipping these righteous jinns who have
now become Muslim,
Nam after they entered into Islam.
So the point is
here Allah
is
giving emphasis on what? Worshipping the Salihin. That's
from the jinn that are Salihin and it's
from the jinn that Talihin. Talihin as in,
transgressors.
They're the evil ones.
And also
that the intended purpose behind
Like there was tribes from the Arab who
used to worship these Malaika.
No. It's a.
Ibn Abbas
was also something else when it came to
tafsir.
Someone that the prophet made dua for.
Oh Allah, give him an understanding in the
religion.
And Mujahid
was someone that sufyanimathoorrahimaallahu
ta'ala who was a great Tabi'i said
If a tafsir now comes to you from
Mujahid
then let that be sufficient for you. They
both said that the intended purpose pertaining this
ayah is what? Ruzair and Isa.
The yahoo, they said that Uzair is a
son of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the Nasara they said Masih ibn Allah
that Masih Isam Namariam is the son of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the proof now pertaining
the Ashjjar
that stones sorry,
trees and stones were
worshiped and also like you know, Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala won the case is the statement
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
And haven't you seen the lat and the
uzzah?
And manat also which is
the 3. There was a triangle of gods,
you know. You had 3 of them were
like the major
Islam
and statues and stones
that was
mentioned in high
esteem in regards to the Mushrikeen
at the time of the prophet
And that is a
is a statue
that they had.
And all of them are Tawahid.
Tawahid is anything that is worship besides Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Anything that is not worship besides Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala is called a ta'ut.
It's called a ta'ut.
Tawagit is the plural of this word Tawag.
And it's basically from the you know how
you have Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Allah the
word Allah
Here,
it has a ta at the end.
So the word has been made into a
has been made into a feminine.
Nam? That's where the word
It is basically from the word Allah
you know, it's been you know, put it
in that form and
it's been made into a feminine word.
And you find that some narrations some of
the Mufasilin they said, He
was a man
He was a righteous man.
Saweek is a type of food that they
had in a time when the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam So what he would do
is he would basically
prepare this for the Hujjad and he would
give it to them and once he passed
away, what did he do? They started
worshiping him. This is what some of the
other Mafasirim
they mentioned in regards to this and Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows best.
You
know? And at the same time, if you
look at the reality, there's no contradiction between
the two statements.
Why? Because
like there is no contradiction between the 2
is because the first one they worshiped what?
A statue, which is a stone anyway. And
here they worship the grave. So
whether it's inside or alive or the Laynaam.
And Uzza
is there were trees that they used to
worship.
And this was the same one of who?
Mujahid
Rahimahullah Ta'ala, the student of Ibn Abbas.
