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.
