Abu Taymiyyah – Taking Sins Lightly
AI: Summary ©
AI: Transcript ©
As for
the wicked person,
the transgressor,
he sees his sins as if a fly
came onto his nose and he said like
that. He doesn't seem to be a big
deal.
You're going to be doing actions
and when you do these actions you're going
to see it lighter than the *,
lighter than the *.
And we used to say it to be
from the major
big sins in the time of the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Today,
how the Muslims,
they see matters like Pida'a, matters like shirk,
even leaving of the salat.
And this one I wanna talk about now,
leaving of the matter about the salat.
How serious do we see it?
But what do we see as a priority?
Anas ibn Malik he never said this yesterday
or the day before.
He said this 1400 years ago after the
death of the prophet
that some of the action that you are
gonna be doing is speaking to the Tabi'in.
We used to see it to be serious,
but now you are going to see it
like the thinness of her hair. Not a
big deal.
Today, brothers and sisters, I give you example.
If a girl was to get pregnant from
our community,
she gets pregnant
unlawfully
out of zina.
Every person on the street today
is going to be talking about it.
The parents, the uncles, the neighbors,
the granddad, the guy that lives in Yemen,
Yemen, or he lives in Somalia, or the
one that lives in Algeria, wherever it might
be once they hear, oh, a girl go
pregnant
in an unlawful.
It's a big deal.
Everyone's talking about
it. Big issue
that has just popped up,
and rightfully so. It is an important matter.
It is a serious matter.
When one of our children starts selling drugs,
he's smoking weed, or he comes home and
he's hide,
smokes up his crack,
the parents they don't sleep.
Day night we're thinking about it. This person
is going to bring shame to our family.
Let's get her married or very very quickly
the girl that got pregnant. Otherwise, it's gonna
be shame in our family. Everyone's gonna be
talking about us. It's a big issue, big
deal that pops up.
But do we see
the matter of a salah, leaving on the
salah the same way?
When
one of our children is not praying,
do we see it the same way?
When in reality, wallahi brothers and sisters,
we can't stress this anymore
of how serious leaving of the salat is.
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said, The difference
between us and them, The agnostic, the Jew,
the Christian,
the Hindu, the Hindu, the Hindu, the
Whoever lives is a kafir.
Maybe the guy
that smoked weed but prayed
or the girl that got pregnant unlawfully,
if she dies in the state that she's
in, if she has a tawheed and she's
praying,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala might forgive them.
Because it's a major sin.
Imam Ahmed Rahim Allahu Ta'ala, he
saw leaving of the Suraj
to be
an act that will take a person out
of Islam
without any doubt.
Imam Ahmed saw that.
Maybe the Sahaba in one of my alim
brothers and sisters, if they saw a woman
not wearing hijab or maybe she's new to
Islam.
If they saw a guy not fasting,
maybe the brother is sick, maybe he's
If he wasn't paying Sadaqah or going out
to Hajj, maybe he's poor. They are to
Israven.
They saw good Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.
But when he came now to leaving up
the
that was left
off to be Kufar other than Sa'at.
Someone
and your people like Imam Ahmed, they still
no different
from Mark and Jane
and Khadija and Muhammad, a leave of the
prayer. No difference between Mark and Muhammad.
There's no difference between them. If he dies,
If he dies, he's not buried in the
Maqabir, the grave of the Muslimen.
In. He's not inherited nor does he inherit.
Why? Because he's Muslim.
This is how they saw it.
Like we mentioned, prophet says, well, I'm not
here to say
That's not my job here, but just trying
to raise awareness of how
serious leaving off the salat is. And going
back to the statement of unasymptomatic,
when he said
you're going to be doing actions, but you
don't see it seriously.
You see it lighten in the head.
When
a lot of the time when a guy
comes to the house and he wants to
get married to his daughter or to the
sister or to salallahu we know,
we might be more concerned about
what job he has,
how much money he's earning,
the type of car that he drives,
where is he gonna make her live, is
he gonna be in his family's house or
where else?
There are questions that we can ask, there's
no problem with it.
But how many of us do we ask
about salah?
We might be getting my daughter or our
sisters
married after a guy, wallahi whose Islam is
in doubt.
And again, we're not saying every action is
like this, but salah is completely different from
the rest of the aman.
The rest of the harkan other than the
shahala tayman.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi was telling him one
time he told
the He said to them that the jad
is gonna stay upon the earth for 40
days. The first day like a year, the
second day like a month, the third day
like a week, and the rest of the
days are like the normal subsequent days.
The first question that they asked, was it
how we gonna work? What about our merchandise?
How we gonna sleep?
Our sleeping pattern is gonna change.
Is this what they asked about? The first
question that they asked, brother and sister, Kaifar
Musali
How are we gonna pray?
If one day is gonna be
like a year, how are we gonna pray?
That was how they would that he was
playing around in their mind.
Because, my brothers and sisters,
if we don't have that daily
connection with Allah,
the first thing happens maybe once a year.
The Hajj once in a lifetime,
whoever has the ability.
And the rest of the actions happen every
now and again. Charity
once a year maybe that we pay.
If we don't have that daily connection with
Allah azza wa jal about the salat,
what are we doing as a Muslims on
a regular basis, on
day to day basis? We sit down when
it's when
Real Madrid is playing playing Barcelona, we sit
there for 90 minutes.
90 minutes, we sit there.
A cinema movie,
whatever
it might be,
Harry Potter, we sit there for ages.
When it comes to these reality shows, Jeremy
Karl,
we are patient for half an hour while
sitting there.
Someone walks past, we're about to throw something
at him. We missed the goal.
When it comes to 5 minutes of our
day, 5 minutes,
which comes up to maybe 25 minutes of
the day.
How are we like struggling?
How are we not able to give that
time?
How are we not able to concentrate for
that period when we concentrate so much when
it comes to
the football games that we all love to
watch.
Never ever does it fall off a person.
The prophet told
us if the guy is standing up and
he's ill and he can't pray, he he
pray sitting down.
He's sitting down and he can't pray, he
has to pray lying down.
You're traveling, the deen has been made easy.
He has to combine. He can Allah made
the religion easy for this person.
Never ever does he fall off a person.
When we hear Allah
the is going on.
If I ask everyone here what does Allahu
Akbar mean? Everybody knows the meaning. Allah is
great or He's the most great.
But even though we need
when we say with our tongue, we know
the meaning of actually acting upon it.
When a person now is carrying on with
his job or his foot or whatever else
he's doing,
well, why? Even though he might say with
his tongue, tongue, with his actions he's not
saying it. He's saying that Ronaldo, Messi,
the football,
that piece of material,
that job that I'm doing, my boss is
more greater than Allah
because I've chosen him over what?
Allah subhanahu
subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah doesn't stand anymore.
Look
at
takes a path other than your path. The
Prophet told the
come man to man.
Normally today when someone gets into fights it
tells them, okay come face to face, 1
on 1. Come to my face, talk to
me then.
They knew
they couldn't go to Umar ibn Khattab in
real life face to face. They they knew
that.
And they knew the only time that they
could go to
Umar ibn Khattab is in his prayer.
When Umar Ibn Khattab just enters a whole
different world in his prayer, concentrating,
not the same way that we pray today.
We're thinking about the 101 thing, what the
score is.
Has he scored yet? Has he not?
Or was I missed chance? Have I missed
the vital part of the game?
Things
to
go. On his way to Muhammad Al Khattab,
he stops up around 17 or
19 Sahaba's on the way.
From the Muslim sorry. From the Muslim, maybe
17 or 19 of them they were praying.
He sharpened the knife, he poisoned the knife.
Sharpen it, poisoned it, sharpened it, poisoned it.
And he stabbed up Umar.
Umar al Khattab gets taken to the house.
They give him milk, they give him water,
it just comes out of his intestine.
They thought khalas, so Umar is gone.
Abdullah ibn Abbas says I know how to
wake up Umar ibn Khattab. It stops making
the Adan.
Umar ibn Khattab jumps up and he says,
there is no place
in Al Islam
for the one that leaves out the prayer.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is dying
brothers and sisters, when a person is die
dying, he tells some of the most important
things that he wants the people to do.
He's dying.
He's calling up to the people saying
The prayer the prayer
and what your right hand possesses. The prayer
the prayer what the right hand
possesses. Repeating it to show you the importance
of this matter.
As you can see, brother and sister, the
matter is really, really serious.
As Addis Abdi Malik, and I'm gonna mention
it for the 3rd time.
You're gonna be doing actions but you see
a light in
your eyes.
And we used see it to be from
the major great sins in the time of
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Today the
serious matters,
you have people who ascribe themselves to knowledge
who are benefiting it.
Anshir zaman we are in.
Things like shirkt or haybida,
which are great great matters in our
religion. Today you find people saying these are
not the real issues, put it to the
side. Forget about Sheikh, forget about Bida, let's
talk about
drugs. Naham, drugs are important.
Women, nightclubs, all this is very very important.
And we should try and address all these
matters.
Well, why I believe this is one of
the main reason why the Muslim Ummah suffered
today.
The serious matters
are
not
taken
seriously. When
The serious matters are not taken seriously. When
the prophet
said,
stay away from the 7 destructive says, the
first thing you mentioned was shirk.
Today you find people they say, do you
see people who are shirk in Islam?
Sheikh. Sheikh. Sheikh. Sheikh. They take the Miq.
Why are you talking about this matter? Why
is it so important?
Do you see the people who are worshiping
Islam? You talk about the issue of bid'ah,
it's a problem.
Why are you splitting the ummah?
When in
when Shaitan, he gets more excited,
he's really really happy when a person is
performing bida. Why?
It is
ahaqgoyil shaitaan as Ibnatayni mentioned, min al Maasi.
Because the guy that is sinning, that goes
and smokes or he drinks, and he smokes
a spliff,
he knows what he's doing is wrong.
Soon or late he's gonna make Tawba, Tawba
Azzawajal.
As for the guy that's involved in Bidah,
he thinks he's getting closer to Allah. He
celebrated the prophet sallallahu alaihi's birthday. He thinks
he's getting closer to Allah
and he'll
never
stop.
Our brother Waseem is waiting.
The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he said,
And you start chasing the tails of the
cows.
Yeah. And you're chasing the dunya.
And you become satisfied now with the crops
that you have, the land.
There's many forms of jihad.
The first time that Nuqayim mentioned jihad and
nafs, you stop yourself now from falling into
Maasi, sins Shubahad and Shawwat.
Allah
Allah will send down upon you humiliation.
He will never take you away until you
come back to your religion.
This our problem today. When we talk about
why is the Muslim Ummah suffering, sometimes you
blame the ruler, why is the ruler's fault?
Or we are not signing enough signatures for
the petition,
or we're not coming out the protesting, we're
not doing enough protesting.
Wallahi, this is a small matter, very small
matter.
It all goes back to the situation of
the people.
If our Muslim Ummah today,
the serious matters,
it is still going on, and everybody is
doing it. They involved in their Maasi, they've
left of the sunnah,
they don't do the basics of their religion.
Like praying a salatul jama'ah. Look how many
thousands come out on the streets. Thousands
come out on the streets when it comes
to protesting.
Masha Allah is the messaged, the Masjid Tawfil
Azir.
Fill till
the end of the rose and the people
are praying outside.
A basic fundamental
we cannot establish.
And how do we expect after Allah azza
wa jal is going to uplift the balayah,
the problems, the suffering on the Muslim Ummah.
Allah will not change the state of the
people until they change themselves.
Until we start taking the matter seriously,
the basics of our religion we take it
seriously, all of this will not change.
We can blame whoever we want, but it
all goes back to us. People will suffer
because of our actions. People are gonna suffer
in Suriyyah, people are gonna suffer in Yemen,
everywhere else they're gonna suffer.
Zaynab bin Jah, the wife of the prophet,
she said,
will we be destroyed and amongst us
earthquake and the recession
is not gonna give you a call, I'm
coming.
Make sure you pack your bags and leave
the country. I'm about to take everyone,
and you just go.
Allah is gonna come and he's gonna take
everyone.
Due to the sense of what they have
been doing, and other people will suffer.
We ask
to benefit us from what we heard.
