00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			Because they make tahakum to the Tawot or
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			United Nations. They are kafir because they make
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			tawali, allied with the kufar against Muslims that
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			are fighting against Islam. They are careful because
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			they all they legislate, they make tashril, they
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			make isti halal, they make the alcohol halal,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			they make the gambling halal. Millions countries, They
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			make even prostitution halal. You know? They make,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			some of them even Saudi Arabia. They make
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			their their interest. The river halal as well.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			So there are many reasons why they are
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			they are Kufar. Not just 1, but no
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			one of them should be allowed to be
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			corrupted on all the people misguided in those
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			matters.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			As you all heard the Prophet say now
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			That the rulers are kafir for many different
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:07
			reasons.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			And that Saudi Arabia they make interest halal.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			Saudi Arabia, they make interest halal.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			And this is something that is known with
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			this brahwa.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			When Ustad Abdul Hasan debated him in the
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			Khilafah debate, he said that the lands
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			of Makkah and Madinah
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			are the lands of the Kufar.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			Makkah and Madinah are the lands of the
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			Kufar.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			Kayb.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Before inshallah ta'ala, I move on to explaining
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			this doubt
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			because there's many many different things that he
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			mentioned in the video as you'll have heard.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			But I just want to concentrate on this
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			one matter
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			Which is the issue of Istihlal.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			What is the ruling of Istihlal?
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			What is the meaning of Istihlal?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			How do I know when a person has
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			fallen into Istihlal?
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			This is what I'm going to go into
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			in a minute insha Allahu Ta'ala.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			But before I do that,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			brothers and sisters, why I want to make
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			clear here
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			is
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			the importance of clarifying
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			the doubts
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			of the people of innovation.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			Clarifying the situation of the people of innovation.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			You find some people they will close this
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			barbed, this door altogether.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			And they call it what? This guy is
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			insulting or this guy is doing Reebah. He
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			is backbiting.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			But in reality, this is something that is
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			part of the religion.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			And it's a form of jihad, striving.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			he mentioned in the hadith that was narrated
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			by Imam Muslim.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			Of when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:47
			said,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			There was never a Prophet that was sent
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			before me.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			Except
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			that he had from his Umma, from the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			people that were with him.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			And he had companions who used to take
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			from his sunnah.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			They used to take
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			and imitate his guidance.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Then after them came people.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			They used to say that which they never
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			done.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			And they used to do the wish they
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			were commanded with.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			for mummin.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			Whoever strives against them with his hand, he's
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			a believer.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			And whoever strives against them with his tongue,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			he's a believer.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			And whoever strives against them with his heart,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			he's a believer.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			And after that there is no mustard grain
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			of iman remaining.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			So what does that show you? Striving against
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			the people of innovation
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			is a form of jihad. Did I say
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			this? The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			this, and this hadith narration is found in
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			Sahih Muslim. Also, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			sallam said,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			Do not let the fear of the people
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			prevent you
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			to say the truth.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			If a person sees it
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			Or when a person
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			hears it or witnesses
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			it. The hadith was narrated by my Muhammad
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			on the authority of Abi Saeed al Khudri
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			Radiallahu
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50
			An.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			So when you hear Baatil, or when you
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			see Baatil, or when you witness Baatil, the
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam telling you, do not
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			let the fear of the people stop you
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			from saying the Haqq.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			Speaking the Haqq is a form of rifah
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala raising you.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			And this is what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			Wasallam
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			told Ubaid ibn Samit.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			Ubaid ibn Samit said,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			We gave our oath of allegiance to the
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			prophet
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			in the ease times of ease and the
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			times of hardship.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			To listen and obey. In
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			times of ease and times of hardship.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			And also when
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			there is greed against us,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			when we are oppressed.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			And not to go against the ruler
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			until you see clear cut kufr.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			And the point I'm trying to get across
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			here is this statement.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			That we say the Haqq wherever we are,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			and we don't fear the blame of the
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			blamers.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			Speaking the truth
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			when you see it, hear it.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			And not fearing the blame. And the blame
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			is is what the Sahaba they gave Baya
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam upon.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he cursed.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			As Allah
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			mentions
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			Israel. Many Israel, they were cursed.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			From those that have disbelieved.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			That was because they used to violate
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			and they were disobedient.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			Why did Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala curse them?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			They never used to disapprove of the munkar
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			that they or the people used to be
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			in front of them.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			And also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			You now disapproving of the evil that's taking
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:11
			place around you is a form of Allah
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala saving you from the destruction
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			that might take place.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			And when they forgot what they were reminded
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:20
			with,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			we save those who used to prohibit
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			the evil that used to take place. So
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			the issue of
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			is something that is known
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			and concrete in our religion.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			Ibn Taymiy Rahim Allah Ta'ala he mentions in
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			his Majmuh Al Fatawah, volume 28, page 231.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			It was said to him that it is
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			hard for me.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			It is hard for me to say that
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			this guy is like this and this guy
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			is like this.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			This is my Muhammad.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			It's being said to.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			So he said to him, if I keep
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			quiet now and you keep quiet as well.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			How are the people meant to differentiate between
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			the Jahil Sahih?
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			And the guy that is sick, the ignorant
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			guy that
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			is sick,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			misguided individual.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			And also how are the people meant to
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			know and differentiate
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			between the scholars of Bid'ah?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			From those who have speeches
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			that go against the kitab and the sunnah
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			or those who call to worship that go
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02
			against the Quran and the
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:11
			sunnah.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			For indeed clarifying their situation and warning against
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:15
			them,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			it is wajib. It is compulsory,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			unanimously agreed on by the Muslims.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			It was also said to Ahmed
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:28
			yasumuwayusalli
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:29
			wayaatakif.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			A man he fasts,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			and he prays, and he performs the
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:39
			ia'tikaf.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			Is the one that fasts prays.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			And
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			we're talking about the Nawafil here. Is this
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			person more beloved to you than the one
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			that speaks against the people of innovation and
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			clarifies the situation?
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			If this person now prays
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:02
			and he fast and he does also
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			This is only for himself.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			He's only benefiting himself.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			But when this person now speaks about the
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			people of innovation, makes their situation clear,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			This is for the Muslims.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			Yeah. I mean, this is something that is
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			universal a lot of people benefit from.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			And this is more
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:26
			virtuous.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			And he clarified and made it clear that
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			this brings bigger benefit
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36
			to more,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			the general Muslims.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			That when he does this like he brings
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			more benefit to them in their religion and
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			this is now from the forms of jihad.
