1st and foremost,
can I have everyone quieting down, please? Pin
drop silence.
Please,
Anyone who's talking, please
let's remain quiet.
Even those outside because we can hear you
through the window.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless every single
one of you guys who came.
There's a lot of people standing up
who weren't able to get into the masjid.
I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
to relieve you of your difficulties and hardships.
Right.
Honestly, I feel extremely extremely humbled
to see this masjid so packed out like
this.
And so many brothers standing up behind
and then also many standing outside of the
masjid.
Wallahi,
I honestly I am lost for words. May
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honor every single one
of you guys.
My brothers and my sisters, also I want
to take a moment out to thank the
administration
of the masjid.
Likewise, Sheikh Mohammed
who helped
coordinate this program with our brothers and sisters
at Halal Eventbrite.
It's not easy to sort out these programs.
It really really isn't.
It takes a lot of time. It takes
a lot of effort, a lot of energy.
So it is something that they are praised
for doing.
And because, of course, there are cameras, I
have to keep on saying this.
Whenever I travel now,
I always have the enemies of Al Islam.
The Zionists,
guys know who the Zionists are?
The Zionists,
the rainbow team.
You also have the feminists,
the blue head feminists,
and some of the other enemies of Islam.
Liberals who don't want to see
the masajid packed out.
They don't want to see people sitting in
front of
someone who preaches
conservative Islam.
Our objective my brothers and my sisters is
to bring the people back to traditional
which is normative.
As time goes on, it becomes affected.
We've seen
religious preachers
water down the religion of al Islam,
and we hope to change that to the
best of our ability.
So we have all of these individuals who
are coming after us.
You know what's also very sad?
Some of our own brothers
who might have the same aqidah.
Right?
When seeing all of this taking place, they
still feel the need to cause problems.
Walla ummastaan.
Instead of busying themselves with those who are
a lot more dangerous to one's aqidah,
they are focusing on
someone like myself. Having said all of that,
I have to keep doing this every time
there are cameras.
Because these enemies of Islam,
they
are looking to take out of context and
distort whatever I have to say. So I
want to make it very very clear and
explicit.
I, Abu Tamia,
I'm not a hate preacher.
I am not here to incite violence
or phobia
towards anyone.
I've said this now for the millionth time.
Right?
Am I a hate preacher my brothers and
my sisters?
Our discussion for today my brothers and my
sisters as promised
to those who attended the Masjid called Ahmed
ibn Hanbal, which is just around the corner
from here. Right?
I promised I would go through
the effects of sins.
The effects of sins
taken from the book by Ibn Al Qayim,
Rahmatullahi
Alayhi. You know what this book is called?
Adha wad Dua.
The spiritual sickness
and its cure.
Right?
Yesterday,
in the bomas of Kenya,
we had a lot of questions of brothers
and sisters asking about,
I am addicted.
Addicted to what? Drugs?
Not necessary
the sins.
Infatuated.
Lovesick.
Haram relationships.
Right.
The question was posed to Sheikh Jaman Uddin
Usman,
And he answered it very well.
He said, and he advised everyone, and I'm
going to put it on my Twitter because
I was meant to do it yesterday. I
forgot.
It's not called Twitter anymore, it's called x.
Sorry.
I'm gonna post this book on there.
Spiritual Sickness and Its Cure.
This book my brothers and my sisters,
the reason why Ibrahim Qayyim authored it is
because someone
sent him a letter. You know what he
was saying in the letter?
That he
is tied down by some of these sins
that he's practicing. And if he doesn't find
a solution,
it is going to destroy
his dunya and the hirafta.
Our Sheikh Abdul Azak Al Badr, he went
through this book in the Haram.
Alright. May Allah Azza wa Jal reward him.
Look my Muslim says, wallahi,
it changed
my life.
It changed the way I look
at people's
problems.
It's completely changed.
It's completely changed the way I look at
people's problems.
I receive
on average a 100 messages on Instagram everyday.
A 100.
Not including emails, not including
private messages on X,
aka
Twitter,
and my other platforms.
100 just on Instagram guys. Average. Maybe more,
sometimes maybe less, but on average a 100.
You know what the majority of these questions
are?
I am addicted to the sin. I'm in
a haram relationship.
Would you advise me? How can I get
over it? I am spiritually dead. I am
empty. I'm suffering inside. What shall I do?
For those who attended the programs,
reading out private messages. Right?
I've been reading out private messages
of people, my brothers and my sisters,
who message me and that are crying out
for help.
I'm gonna read this one. Salaam Alaikum.
The questioner says,
you probably won't even read this. I just
did.
I can imagine the amount of dm's you
get from people.
I feel extremely depressed when I wake up
in the morning,
and it is a regular thing now.
I feel empty, Jahi. I think all of
my sins have killed my soul.
I don't know what to do.
Another one my brothers and my sisters.
This is from my sister, Assalamu Alaikum.
I am
18 years of age. I'm an 18 year
old girl, sorry.
I was a good Muslim. I was working
on my deen.
I was working on my deen, she says.
I prayed my fard, yani, the obligatory prayers.
Sometime,
I started
re watching
my sinful past,
by video I'm assuming.
Her sinful past,
the bad things that she used to do
in the past,
she started re watching it,
and I started
missing it.
I stopped praying. I stopped being religious.
I have no idea what's happening to me.
Why am I such a bad person now?
What the * happened?
This wasn't supposed to happen ever. Ever was
this supposed to happen.
I am so deeply unhappy
and I am full of regret.
I don't have the stability or the motivation
to go back.
I don't think I can.
Another email my brothers and my sisters. The
title was 22 year old
male, and then it said next to it
Zina.
Assalamu alaikum Shaykh. Please can you help me?
I've done Zina for almost a year now
with
girls.
I'm completely broken,
empty, and I don't want to live anymore.
My family doesn't know what I've done, only
my mother does.
Everyone who looks at me says that I
look lifeless.
I have lost my appetite for food.
I have lost the will to go on.
I really need some advice. Please help me.
Another one my brothers and my sisters,
I'm a 16 year old girl. She says,
hi.
No. Sorry.
I said, hi. Next time when you message
me say, salam alaikum.
Hi, my name is, and then she mentions
her name, which I'm not going to expose.
I'm 16 years old. I'm going through a
lot of pain,
depression, stress, sadness. I truly need your help.
Please help me. I've been in a haram
relationship.
I fell in love hard. He dumped and
left me.
Why you guys laughing?
Molahi, seriously. Why you guys laughing?
It happens.
He love him and I cry every night.
Knowing nothing will work out, I pray I
want to have a relationship with Allah. I
want to be better, but shaitan is not
letting me. That was a girl. I mentioned
also a boy. Assalamu alaikum shaykh. How are
you? I hope you are well. So I
was in haram relaysh. This is a man,
and today she ended it. Yeah. And she
dumped him.
I am completely devastated. I can't do it
anymore.
My heart
hurts so much. Please help me.
What can I do to make myself feel
better and get over it? Sheikh, please help
me.
But alhamdulillah, it's come to an end so
I'm out there again, but still I can't
get away from her. I can't stop thinking
about her.
If you know what I need to know,
please help me. Sheykh, please help me.
I don't want to come back into haram
relationship. If you have tips, please help me.
And tell me, I don't want to repeat
this sin again, Sheikh, please help me. You
know how many times he said please help
me?
6 times.
Right. Since
well,
this is the case of many young people
over there in the west.
Right? Many young people.
I know here in Kenya, they dream about
going to the UK.
Even tahrib.
You're ready to pay just so you can
get smuggled in.
Wallahi ala'aleem, my brothers and my sisters,
you are missing out on nothing.
This is the life of many of these
youngsters over there. Many.
They are miserable.
They are depressed. They are sad.
Right?
Because they've tried life.
We here, we look on Instagram and it
appears to us that they are enjoying their
life.
They have it all. That's what you think.
Some of the consequences and the effects of
sins.
Many people, you know what they think?
When I look at a girl on Instagram
privately on the
I only have to answer to Allah and
Yomul Qiyamah.
People think that. When I sin,
the only time I will face the consequences
of my sins is when I meet Allah.
My brother, my sister, you are mistaken.
You are mistaken my friend.
If you don't repent from these sins,
that
which is feared
is that your sins will hunt you down.
It will come back to haunt you.
Sooner or later.
And it will begin to affect you in
so many ways.
Ways that you never ever thought about.
Are you brothers and sisters with me? Yes.
Perhaps when you realize how it impacts you
on a day to day basis,
you will withhold from doing these sins.
This was one of the objectives of the
sheikh writing this book called the spiritual sickness
and its cure.
And he has a second way to talk
about these
consequences. He says
He says that the sins
are the first part to this belief.
Let me ask you a question.
If one commit a zina,
does he become a gal? Does he become
a kafir?
It's a major sense.
Here, Ibn Al Qaym is saying that it
is the first spark to this belief.
Meaning one thing leads to another, and another,
and another,
up until he ends up leaving the religion
of Islam. Sometimes we say my brothers and
my sisters, this sin no big deal, it's
minor.
Looking at a woman on 5th magram, it's
not a big deal.
Wallahi, I'm not like I'm not doing zina
with her, I'm just looking at her. Zinaal
aynayn,
another. The zina of the eyes to look.
And the Zina of the tongue is to
what? Shukansa.
Right?
To chirps,
to flirt.
The of the hands is to reach out
to
her. Right?
And the zina of the feet is what?
To walk towards her.
Right.
One thing leads to another and another and
another
up until that individual may eventually leave the
fold of Islam.
You know how many brothers I know, they
stopped praying,
right?
That leaves you now on the edge of
Islam.
And it all started with
being hypnotized
on Instagram.
Sitting in front of Instagram all day long.
Looking at haram. Looking at women you shouldn't
be looking at.
And then it doesn't stop there. That leads
to something greater. He becomes addicted to
adult content, *.
And then it takes him down a very
very
dark road.
Very dark road.
After
watching all of us are free, he starts
paying for it.
Because he's craving that which is more intense.
And it all started with Instagram.
He then goes on to say,
kama'analqublatabiriduljima'a.
The same way, if one now kisses a
woman, what does it lead to? It leads
to sexual *. Right? One thing leads to
another. He's trying to now compare this situation
to what we mentioned.
How the sins lead to disbelief.
Walgina
buried with Zina,
and he says music leads to what? A
Zina.
Abdu'aib, my brothers and my sisters, he passed
away 100 of years ago. Did you guys
know that? 100 of years ago.
He's saying that music then,
It will lead you to Zina. How about
this music here today?
Ibn Al Qaym in one of his other
books, Irathatul Lathan,
free messiah this shaitan. You know what he
says?
How many women
because of
came
The music of that time, not the music
of today
which has Al Khubsul Khaba'is in it.
Naked women,
the most filthiest
of rhetoric.
That is vulgar that you hear. That gets
you ticking. Right?
And then now it inspires you to go
into haram.
He then says,
looking,
taking that glance,
it is the root cause for what?
For becoming
love sick.
Infatuation.
We know the kissa of Yusuf alaihisatt wasalam'ah.
Imra'atil Aziz, right?
When she trapped him in the room.
By the way, Yusuf alaihisattu wasalam,
utiashatr
alhusun. He was granted half the beauty of
mankind.
Mus.
When Allah distributed beauty,
half was given to him. Where's the other
half?
Mashallah, some here.
The rest was given to everyone else.
He He was serving her one day and
then she locked all of the doors that
lead to her bedroom.
And then she said, hey Talak, let's get
it on.
Qalam A'adallah.
Point being, she went crazy over him. Even
though she was a pretty good looking woman
as well.
She went crazy.
She started chasing off them with Sibak Al
Bab. He's running away from her. She's going
crazy guys, and she's ripping his clothes.
Right?
Today,
if a girl doesn't want you to say,
Khalasa.
But she's going crazy.
She's grabbing him from the back. She's ripping
his clothes.
Right?
And she didn't stop.
She got caught. She got caught by her
husband, and she still didn't stop.
What was the root cause for?
Oh,
some glance.
Also, ibn Joseph Abdullah Alaihi says,
the root cause of becoming infatuated.
Love sick is what?
Mother.
Looking.
He then goes on to say
Many people who are devout worshipers,
they used to worship Allah a lot.
We are not talking about the ayasuk.
We are talking about someone who comes in
a masjid.
We have our imam. Right? May Allah protect
him.
Can you imagine the imam now?
Right?
Completely flipping 180.
May Allah protect him from that.
He's talking about people like that, Muta'Abideen.
They lost their faith because of not lowering
the case.
All because of the ice.
8:15.
You can go to the channel. Madashan.
Hello. Are you guys tired?
Should we stop?
Yeah. Let's now go into the consequences
of your sins.
Put your hand up if you're trying to
memorize the Quran.
Mashallah, that's a lot of people.
That is a lot of people.
You know what's going to hinder
your progress?
Sins.
The first consequence
of sins that Ibn al Qayy mentioned, my
brothers and my sisters, was none other?
Hermanulil.
You will be deprived
of knowledge.
You know my
I put a lot of effort and time
into memorizing.
I know myself,
if I look at a woman that I
should be looking
at, I'm going to forget
all of that which I memorized.
This is true. This is exactly what happens.
Right?
One day, my brothers and my sisters,
Shafi'i sat in front of an Imam Malik.
Has no Imam Shayb Ali?
All the Somalis, they follow his madhab.
Imam Malik was a teacher.
They both sat in front of him. Imam
Sheykhb sat in front of him, and he
told them, Inni ara annalahaqad
al kafiqalbikhanura.
I can see that Allah has put a
noor in your heart.
Because Imam al Shafi'i's memorization
was very
very slick.
Very sharp.
Imagine you have a book.
Imagine you have a book like this,
He would cover one side because of how
powerful his memory was. He didn't want this
to mix up with that. He just needed
to look
at
it. Till one day,
he began to suffer from memory loss.
You know how? Or you know why?
Because he looked at the ankle of a
woman.
You know what an ankle is? The ankle
of a woman. It had bangles.
It had jewelry on there. He looked at
the ankles,
and it began to affect his memory.
So he complained to aqiyya.
Aqiyyah told them to stop sinning.
He didn't say to him, don't worry, ma'am
Shafa, you were good one time, now you
are old. No.
Told him, stop sinning.
And he told me that Ilm is a
nur,
and that this noor
is not given to a sinner.
You know when I was in a Yemen,
Allah I remember it like it was yesterday.
Before I was about to leave,
one of the elders
came up to me and he said, Muhammad
I advise you not to leave. I said,
why?
He said, I fear
you will forget half of the Quran.
I said, what do you mean? He goes
fitna.
I was like,
forget half the Quran?
Come on.
Imam al Shafi'i my brothers and my sisters,
he lost
Oh, is memory got affected by looking at
the bangles of a woman's ankles?
Today, what do you have?
You have Dumerial,
Ochakawan.
Right?
Everywhere
on the world wide web.
We just look at it like it's casual,
Sahi. Not a big deal.
You think that's not going to affect you
my brothers and my sisters?
I know there are brothers, they follow female
celebrities.
What are you doing?
Why are you following this female celebrity?
Or he says, no, we are just Facebook
friends.
Friendes.
We are just Facebook even the way they
named it,
friends.
Then the next question is, can men and
women just be friends?
When I go around to the universe they
always ask me this question, can men and
women just be friends?
Wallahi goes, I have pure intentions.
I am sitting in the library alone. And
then she comes and she helps me with
my assignment.
She's
helping me.
Who did he complain to?
He complained to who? Who did Imam al
Shafi'a complained to? What was his name?
Waqiya.
You know, I always wondered, why did he
go to him? He could have gone back
to Imam Malik or anyone else.
Later on, I found it in Sira Alam
Nubala,
which is a big book.
It talks about the lives of the righteous
who went
for us.
Haib al Khashrami mentions,
I never ever saw Waqiya
holding a book in the Mahul Hef. Everything
was from the top of his memory.
Hafid. He was a Hafid.
So then he go ask him,
what is the cure for forgetting?
He said, To
live of sinning, I've never tried anything like
it.
Now it begins to make sense. Right?
We memorized, it was mutkin.
It was very very solid when you memorized
or when you learn something, then all of
a sudden it became watery.
Maybe
it is because of what you are looking
at.
Why is Dalinosa?
You are making yourself tired.
It's a never ending battle. You want the
Quran.
And at the same time
you're listening to music.
The love of music
and the love of
Quran are 2 things that can't coexist in
your heart.
I remember Hoh used to say to me
one time she caught me I had music
on the phone.
Long time ago when there was Nokia,
she called me
Also, Asma'i Nafani, you know what he said?
Our hearts were pure. We will never become
bored of the Quran. Never.
Never.
Right.
Sins will impact you hugely.
Remember what is at stake. You become
Sahib ul Quran
Wallahi. Brothers and sisters,
Allah will open not just the dunya for
you, but also the hereafter.
Dunya wadeen.
Dunya will be open right before your eyes
because you are a companion
of the best of speeches and that's the
speech of Allah.
Right? Number 2.
What was the first one?
What would happen when you sin?
Before I move on to point number 2,
let me tell you guys a story that
happened in Al Medina.
I, the friend,
I would see him walking into class
Sunday
morning.
Starts on Monday.
Over the days, the weeks become a pandemic.
He walks in the grass.
And, wallahi, his face
looks different to when I left him
Thursday
evening.
I began to feel that there was something
up with him. So whenever we would leave
the classroom on our way to our
dorms where we sleep,
I would advise him, yahi,
fear Allah.
In a nice way indirectly,
and how since they affect
our pursue of knowledge,
I would beg this brother come to the
Haram,
and let's learn the deen together.
Every day he would make me the promise
I'm coming, but he would never come.
Up until
we were about to leave for the summer
holidays. When you are in Madinah, they give
you a free ticket every summer.
So everyone's running around trying to get ready
their bags so you don't miss the flight.
As I'm preparing to go back,
my phone
is my phone can't stop ringing. Who's calling
this brother? Call after call after call after
call.
Sir, Nigam Hazari.
What's wrong with him?
I'm busy, and I'm not responding.
Till one moment or till till after some
time, I said, you know what? Let me
see what the issue is.
So I respond. I was like, Osay Sheykhir,
why are you calling me so many times?
He goes I have to speak to you.
So I gave him a mawrat, an appointment,
we walked into the Masjid, I want you
to put yourself in my shoes.
We are in Medina. Who normally goes to
Medina?
People.
Who Insha'Allah Ta'ala are trying to become scholars,
right?
As soon as I walk into the Masjid,
I sit down, I see him.
Like imagine, put yourself in my shoes, and
where we are, the first thing that comes
out of his mouth is
my girlfriend, Chidromi.
If someone said that to me here in
Kenya
or in the
UK or in America,
You think I would be surprised? I get
messages all the time on Instagram.
Wallahi, I was not expecting that.
Like, I'm thinking,
wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. She in order
for a woman to cheat, that means you
had a relationship with her.
You're in haram, and you're here.
I was completely thrown off. I didn't know
what's Satan. I froze.
Then I said to him, do you remember
the advices I used to give you? He
said,
yes. That's why I came to you. Now
it all
makes sense.
Why he wasn't able to come to the
Haram to learn with me?
Because the sins were affecting him.
Number 2, my brothers and my sisters. Number
2.
You will be deprived of provision.
You guys know what provision is?
Money
could mean that.
A Rizq is not just money guys.
It's a lot more vast than that.
But normally when rizq is mentioned, that which
comes to mind is none other than mani
sah.
The messenger salalahu alayhi wa sama did he
say Inarajula,
la yuhramurizqobi
katiatin
You Amaluha.
One is deprived
of provision
because of the sin that he carries out.
Because of the sin that he carries out,
he is deprived of provision.
You know my brothers and my sisters,
right,
most people who message me that are suffering
from * addiction,
all the time they put it in. You
know what they put it in?
I'm also suffering financially.
Well, as some of you guys keep laughing,
I ask Allah not to test you guys
with it.
These are some serious cases.
Your sins will affect you.
I come across brothers who didn't have much,
but all of a sudden Allah blessed them
with a lot of money. What does he
do? Goes and buys a car.
Very fancy car. Very, very fancy car.
One of the first things he does is
starts blasting music in his car.
Do you guys have this here? A nice
car and he's blasting music.
Over there, hadith with a haraj.
Widespread and rampant.
Muslims are doing it as well.
Right? Not like that.
Hadith wal Haraj.
And after playing the music in his car
loudly,
what is he doing? He's trying to entice
women.
He wants to use his nice car and
his music
to draw women to him.
3 weeks later, I asked him, where's your
car? Oza,
my car stopped working.
He's at the garage.
Spanking new kahad.
Now it's in a garage of 3 weeks.
You know where I put it down to?
Never are you deprived of your blessings except
because you left off having taqwa of Allah.
He also said somewhere else,
Never does one disobey Allah as zawaju with
something except Allah will destroy that. You
use your money to disobey Allah, Allah will
destroy that.
Are you guys with me?
There is a that I like to always
mention, the of Muhammad al Nusireen.
Do you know who Muhammad Nusireen was?
He was the student of Abu Huraira.
He was a student of Abu Hurayrah Radhiallahu
Ta'ala Anahi.
Did you know that at the end of
his life he was thrown into prison? Did
you guys know that?
Why was he thrown into prison? Because he
had a big debt.
Big debt. He bought some oil on credit,
and then a rat got stuck inside of
it.
A rat
got it stuck inside of it.
So I had to pour it all out.
And then eventually, he's thrown into prison because
he became bankrupt. You know what he said?
30 years ago, he saw someone that was
bankrupt
walking,
and then he degraded him. In Salma'il, they
say, woo you sayi.
You know, sometimes when we see someone, we
say,
look at him.
Think very.
We look down on them. Right? He said,
30 years ago, I done that to someone
who was bankrupt.
Now I've been tested by it.
SubhanAllah.
The fact that he remembers what he done
30 years ago, Allahi,
it shows
how obedient they used to be. They could
remember their sins,
because they could count it on their hands.
Number 3,
You begin to feel
this alienation inside of your
heart. Between you and Allah, you feel a
lack of connection.
There is no sweetness in what you do.
Because of how dark your heart became,
as the messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam told
us, suda. Every time you seen black dot,
black dot, black dot.
Up until your whole heart becomes black.
To the point,
Yeah?
You say to him, Aki, Allah wants you
to do this. It's like
a Kafir is speaking.
It doesn't move him whatsoever.
You put
fahesha,
evil in front of him, he does it
straight away.
You know, I met people in the past,
my brothers and my sisters, who were very
shy when it came to sins.
But after becoming so engulfed in sins,
no Haya whatsoever.
No shyness. He will swear.
He will use vulgar terms. No Haya. You
tell him, Ittaqillah,
or Allah he doesn't care.
However, my brothers and my sisters, when you
are now feeling the wahsha,
that there is something wrong when you do
that act of evil,
it still shows that your heart is alive.
Are you guys with me?
The fact, you know, sometimes you do something
and then you feel bad about it.
It still shows that your heart is alive.
But if it reaches a point where you
don't care anymore, you just do the sin,
wallahi, it is feared
for this individual
something very very severe.
Right?
It becomes like a dead person. You know
a dead person when you try to stab
it.
Right? Imagine a dead person in front of
you, stab it. Is he gonna move?
Is he gonna move?
That's the example that the Ibrahim gave.
You injure it, you stop it, it's not
gonna feel anything.
So then he says,
If you begin to feel this alienation,
or you're beginning to feel empty,
and he says leave it.
In shit. If you wish, with statinacy,
go and seek that pleasure from Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Right? Oh, you who's in that haram relationship,
you know
deep inside that this is wrong. And you
shouldn't be doing it.
You know that.
Ahmad Rabbaq, praise Allah, that you still
have a life in your heart. You are
still breathing.
Right?
Deep inside you know
that this is going to destroy your dunya
and your hereafter.
Allah
has given you a halal alternative work towards
that.
Whoever believes something for the sake of Allah,
Allah will give him that which is better.
Number 4.
What was number 1, guys?
Number 2,
rizqikaagah.
Right?
And the opposite is true as all. You
know what the opposite is? If you do
what Allah has told you, he will open
those.
Everyone knows the ayat.
You have taqwa, Allah Azzawajal will give you
a way out. And he will give you
provision from where you don't expect. I'll give
you guys an example. You're under your blanket,
and the shaytan is whispering,
open that Haram video,
and you throw it to the side. I'm
not gonna do it. It's times like that
when Allah will begin to open doors for
you. However,
if you don't my friend,
you have missed out on an opportunity.
You have missed out on an opportunity
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
providing for you from where you don't expect.
What was number 3?
You lose that connection with Allah. What's your
name, Azigah?
Yusuf is answering all the questions. How old
are you?
11, Uhsantiya Yusuf.
Number 4,
my brothers and my sisters,
you will now begin to feel an alienation
towards other individuals, other
human beings.
Right?
You will begin to now go through problems
with them
whether it is on a personal level or
on a community level or on a societal
level.
Right?
You see with people who sin, my brothers
and my sisters, when they're going through
sins,
his teacher he will try to avoid him.
He will try to avoid him.
He will take a different road
to him.
Any person who is practicing will begin to
feel a certain way around them because of
the sins that he's doing, and that is
because
of what he's engaging in.
Put your hand if you're married.
Actually, don't put it up because I don't
want anyone to look at you.
Say brothers,
Don't give him your your
your evil eye.
He says, Khalab Abu Salaf. Some of the
righteous of the past would say, I disobey
Allah, then all of a sudden I begin
to see a change
in my wife
and in my riding beast.
We don't have riding beast today, but the
car,
all of a sudden things start
changing.
Right?
In accordance to how much you love Allah.
And how much you prioritize him,
right, the people will love him.
Right? And in accordance to how much you
fear Allah, you will fear you will see
the creation fearing him.
You think you can disobey Allah, he says.
But then the people are not
going to end up giving you a hard
time. You think that?
You destroy and violate the limits of Allah.
You think people are not going to then
disrespect you?
And destroy you? And violate
your sanctity.
How you treat the Uwami Rabala, that's how
the people eventually end up treating you.
Khudha khaeda.
Khudha khaeda.
If I better my relationship with Allah,
my relationship with the people will also become
better.
Madhaqalal Imam Malik Aslihamabeinakwabein
Allah.
Which is between you and the people.
Sometimes we focus too much on what people
think. No. Focus on what Allah thinks and
and then see what happens
after.
My brothers and my sisters,
The last point I'm going to mention on
the number 4.
I'm going to teach you guys
how to drop in the eyes of the
people,
Especially
if you are a person
that the people respect,
maybe because of his Quran,
maybe because of his ilm.
You are someone that has a high status
in the society.
I'm going to teach you guys now
how this individual dropped in their eyes.
He said, I saw those
who seek knowledge.
They were people of knowledge.
They stopped being conscious of Allah
when they were alone behind closed doors.
He thinks he can come out, give khudbas,
Everyone respects him or lead the salah.
Everyone respects him. Or maybe
just your family, they look up to you.
They respect you.
Right?
And then behind closed doors you're watching Netflix,
or you're looking at haram.
And you're thinking to yourself, wallahi, whatever I
do behind closed doors will not affect
what I or how the people treat me
in public.
I've seen enough people
who used to give dawah.
Right?
People respected them, but behind closed doors,
And then later on everything came out and
he dropped in the eyes of the people.
Allah
caused the good things that are mentioned about
them in public to disappear.
It was what? Erased.
They would walk into the room. It is
as if they are non existent.
There was no Halawah
in seeing them and the heart stopped yearning
for them.
Right.
Imagine that my brothers and my sisters.
People respect you today and then tomorrow you
drop, maybe because of what you do privately,
fear Allah
If you don't want to lose your position,
you should be someone who does more righteous
deeds behind closed doors than the things that
you do in public.
How many is that?
4.
4. Right? Number 5.
Waminhatasiru
umuri'alai.
From the effects of sin is that things
start becoming very difficult in your life. Whatever
you try to accomplish, it is like a
big
fat door that is blocking you.
Right?
SubhanAllah.
What did Allah say?
What is them of whom?
Whoever doesn't come with taqwa, Allah will not
give him a way out.
Hassan al Basri would say,
or Yaqul.
There would be someone
from the righteous people of the past
who would be
injured by a thorn. Thorn.
Why do I keep thinking that you guys
don't understand English?
Wallahi, I came to know that in Kenya
their English is better than us.
We learned English from the streets.
Here, Allahumabarik,
I was very impressed
by the MC yesterday.
In the Bamas, Kenya?
Did anyone come here? Go to it?
By the way, it was 20% men and
80% women. Where were the men at?
My brothers and my sisters. My brothers and
my sisters.
Right?
After being injured by the thorn, you know
the righteous person will say to the thorn,
I know
this happened to me because of a sin.
My Lord did not oppress me.
Wama o wala yavlimu rabbuk ahad Allah does
not oppress anyone.
Things become difficult for him.
He does not turn his attention towards any
matter,
but he finds the way blocked
or he finds it difficult.
Yeah.
And the last point that I'm going to
mention,
last point, guys.
Are you okay?
You wanna come sit here to have more
freedom? Taal.
May Allah
reward him for his tawadah.
He should be giving the lesson, not me.
This is your resident scholar that you have
here, brothers and sisters.
You have any problems, go to him.
Right? He is the imam of Jami al
Masjid.
Last point, my brothers and my sisters.
Last point.
He says,
you begin to feel this darkness inside of
your heart
which one begins to feel literally.
Right?
The same way you begin to feel the
darkness when you go outside in the night.
What happens my brothers and my sisters?
After his heart becomes dark, the darkness begins
to project on his face.
Right?
And then he brings a statement of Abdullah
ibn Abbas radiAllahu ta'ala Anhuma when he says,
Inna lilhasanati
When you do a good deed, it puts
a glow on your face.
When you do a bad deed, it puts
darkness on your face, my brothers and my
sisters.
You know, my brothers and my sisters, at
times when someone comes to me,
before he's even asked me the question, I
probably
have an idea what he's going through just
looking at his face.
Someone who falls into a zina,
right, you can see it almost what?
A parent on his face.
This is what sins do to an individual.
Put your hand up if you know someone
that's gone for umrah and then came back.
My brothers and masters, would you agree that
after that person came back that his face
look different?
I remember when I was in Medina, I
had an Egyptian roommate.
He would go for Makkah and come back
even though he's tired. Normally when you're tired
it looks on your face. Right?
Even his tired wallahi, I could see a
big difference on his face.
Especially when his.
Hassan al Basri was
asked Why is it that those
who stand up in the night, they have
the nicest of faces in the day.
Because they were alone with Allah,
so Allah closed them with his nur.
You know, sisters, they always ask me, what
is the alternative to makeup?
I say to them wake up in the
night.
Pray at night,
and then when you wake up in the
morning put some Vaseline on and khalas.
And you will look Insha Allahu Ta'ala
as beautiful as it can be.
Wallahi can see a difference. Someone who stands
up in the night, and he prays
as opposed to someone who's maybe was sinning.
Also, sir Ayid al Musaib said,
When he wakes up in the night, and
then Allah puts noor on his face,
which causes every person that sees him to
love him. From the Muslimen.
Someone who never met him before, never saw
him before.
Fayakul inneelaohibbuhadarajul.
Indeed I love this person even though he
didn't mean before.
That's what the night prayer does for that
individual.
Insha Allah, tonight we're all gonna pray.
And we're going to make it a habit.
You want something my brothers? Go ask Allah.
That is the best time to be asking
Allah. Yanzirabunatabaraka
ta'ala
Every night Allah comes down.
Right?
And says, Manyidr'uni, he was gonna call on
to me, so give it to him.
I'm going to tell you guys a
kisra.
Okay? Before I mention it, Ibn al Khaim
also says,
When you lie,
when you tell lies, it puts an effect
on your face.
It blackens it.
Is like you're wearing a mask.
Right? A mask of anger.
Every person who's truthful can see it.
To conclude my brothers and my sisters, I'm
going to tell you guys something that
I had one of the masha'ikh mentioned.
1 of the masha'ikh who came from Kuwait.
His name is the sheikh Adnan Abdul Qadir.
He came to Leicester,
and then he mentioned a story which I
took and added to this point of this
lecture.
He said one day,
the sheikh came late to his lesson,
and while he was away,
cause he was going to be late, someone
else deputized.
Someone else was teaching the lesson, so the
Sheikh walked in late and then sat next
to him.
As he was sitting down he sees a
brother.
And the Sheikh can't stop staring at him.
He can't stop staring at him.
As the lesson finishes,
the Sheikh grabs his brother, he takes him
with him.
And he says, you are not leaving me
today until you tell me what has changed
in your life.
What has changed for the Sheikh now to
do all of this?
The Sheikh tells us that his face looked
so much more different than how he
saw him before.
Before his face was all dark and
gloomy,
you could see there was something up with
him.
And his skin tone was very different to
all of his other family relatives.
So then the boy is telling the Sheikh
what he used to do. He used to
work
on the coast. You know what the coast
is?
On the coast, the seashore.
And every time he met a woman,
he would make her all of these false
promises that he will marry her. Just so
he could do a zina with her.
And after doing zina with her,
after chewing her like a piece of chewing
gum, he would spit her out. Salaam Alaikum.
Next one, and the next one, and the
next one.
He was a Zani bi'mal kalima.
Till one day, he saw this girl who
wasn't even good looking, from what the Sheikh
mentions.
He made all of these promises, I will
marry you, wah wah wah, ilakhri.
And then after Badan Makkanat Nafsamin,
after he finished
having sexual * with her, she said, okay,
are you not gonna marry me? She goes,
me marry you and you look like that?
And you can imagine what this would do
to a woman.
The worst thing you can do to a
woman is comment negatively about her looks.
So then what happens SubhanAllah, Allah tested him.
Allah tested him with becoming
lovesick.
Right?
Becoming infatuated
with this girl that wasn't even good looking.
Right?
So then he started calling her mom. Auntie,
I need I want to get married to
your daughter. She says to her, oh, she
says to him, don't worry, I'm gonna ask
her. She calls him back, she said, no.
2nd time, no. 3rd time, she asked the
daughter. The daughter says, mother, if you ask
me again, I'm leaving the house.
The auntie then says to the brother,
I'm sorry this is what she said. Please
don't call me again.
The brother on the spot, he faints.
He gets rushed into hospital.
He's lovesick.
He thought he could play around with other
women, and Allah,
Laysa Akdar alaihi.
Allah has more capability now to destroy him.
He goes rushed into hospital. His sister,
who used to give dawah, comes to him
and then she admonishes him and says,
do you not fear Allah?
Your family is a good family and you're
running around doing all this haram.
He made,
or he took a vow. That if Allah
cures him from the sickness,
that he's going to change his life around.
The sheikh knew him before and after.
This is why the sheikh couldn't stop looking
at him.
This young man looks very different to how
I knew him before.
To conclude my brothers and my sisters,
and I'm finished because I know now 8:15.
Right? Can I take 2 minutes?
10. No. No. No. Just 2 minutes. He's
very nice. He said, take another 10. No.
I don't need 10. 2
minutes. That which is going to increase our
ta'weem,
our veneration,
our glorification
of Allah, my brothers and my sisters,
is learning about who Allah is.
The more you learn about who Allah azza
wa Jal is,
the less likely you will dive into these
sins.
People always ask, why is it
that me and my friend when we are
walking,
he lowers his gaze, but I don't.
Or sometimes the sin presents itself,
I do it straight away but he doesn't.
Right?
It is down to what my brothers and
because of this individual having that tawzeem
in his heart for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The more you learn about Allah,
the
more you will be conscious of him. I'll
give you guys his example
that Ibn Rajiv Rahmatullahi 'alai mentions.
When talking about a male and female Bedouin,
they were one time alone in a desert.
You may have heard this.
Right? Story before.
Alone in the desert.
Nomads.
Bedouins.
You wouldn't expect Bedouins to have knowledge. Right?
He approached her. He tried to seduce her.
In Somali they say, he tried to do
shukansa with her.
Right? And then he noticed that she was
getting scared.
So he said, mimmatahathin.
What are you scared of?
La yarana ilal kawakib.
The only thing that can see us
is what?
The stars.
This female Bedouin turns around him and he
says, and she says,
She says to this man where is the
one who created these stars, these kawakib?
Where is the creator?
He got scared.
This is a woman that understood that Allah
is a raqib as Sami al Basir. She
learned the names of Allah. The only source
of knowledge that we have of Allah is
what?
His names and attributes.
The more you learn about it,
the more my brothers and my sisters, you
will be conscious of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And that is what is called strengthening your
tuhid,
Which is the most precious thing to every
single one of us. Today you might say
to a young man pray.
You might say to a young girl put
on the hijab. They don't even know why
they're praying. Or why they're praying on the
hijab because they know nothing about Allah.
Right?
They know nothing about him.
This is what we need to strengthen
the information that we have about Allah and
to teach it and preach it.
Right?
My brothers and my sisters, I want to
conclude by instructing you all with the following.
You came to this lecture now.
I know some of you guys are going
to say, Wallahi, my iman went up.
That was a very good lecture.
Right? And you're gonna message me on Instagram
saying thank you, as many of the young
people have been doing.
Lectures are no different to Panadol.
That's what you guys call it. Right?
Panadol.
It's pain killer. He told me earlier. I
asked him, how do you guys say pain
killer as a Panadol? What's your name?
Siraj?
Lectures are like painkillers.
It gives you that buzz, makes you feel
better for a little bit, but then it's
just gonna go back down again.
We are in need of operation.
This operation is to continue seeking knowledge.
My advice to you guys is to start
a journey in learning about your religion.
Benefit from the mashaikh around you.
Like I said, you guys have Sheikh Jabal
Uddin Usman.
You also have Sheikh Abdul Rahman who studied
in Yemen.
Right? Studied in Yemen, and now he's teaching
every Saturday Sunday
after fajr in Masjid ar Rahma. Say hi
Sheikh.
Masjid Rahma, right?
In Harlingam.
He's going to start more duroos inshallah ta'ala
in the future.
Benefits from the mashayikh. These are just some
of the mashayikh. I don't know all of
the mashayikh here.
Learn your religion, my brothers and my sisters.
And, wallahi, you'll be in a much better
place
spiritually.
And Insha'Allah, you won't become like those young
brothers and sisters
who are messaging me. They don't have the
answers as to why they are going through
all of this misery.
I read out, didn't I?
I hope you don't become like them, but
at least now, you know why.
Right? You know why
things start happening in your life.
Do you feel my brothers and my sisters
that things have fallen into perspective?
Things are making more sense now
of what happens to us in life.
Alhamdulillah.
This is what I wanted to achieve.
I ask Allah azza wa jah to bless
the administration of the Masjid,
and to make us from amongst those who
take the benefit
and act upon it.
