Internally
and externally. Now brothers and sisters, inshallah,
I want to mention some of the greatest
doubts that these
people who grave worship
bring.
Okay. And if you understood what we mentioned,
in this episode,
You will come to know that Allah Adam
Daus that took place in the
debate that we had, me and Ustad Abdul
Rahman with Asrar Rashid, who is the one
of the heads of
the Ash'aris but also the Bralevis, but he
will deny this
Naam,
and some of the doubts that they bring
because they all bring the same doubts anyway,
and they're all upon the same minhaj.
Okay. And I want to touch on this
inshallah wata'ala.
If you just study and you learn what
we mentioned,
you will realize
that just these basic books that we are
studying, these people
have not studied because of this. They've fallen
into whatever they've fallen into.
O Allah brothers and sisters, this is why
the they keep
saying
These are books that one should study and
go over all the time all the time.
There's one book that we had called Tajridu
Tawhid
by Sheikh Fayez al Jazim.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless him. It
was one of the books that kind of
compiled some of their doubts.
Even though there was a lot of books
there, there was one book that I felt
like
kind of was
it's like we didn't need anything else. I
actually genuinely thought that he was going to
bring a lot of things. So hence why
we had a lot of books, but he
didn't go outside that book. And our Sheikh,
may Allah bless him, face and judge him.
He done very good work on some of
their doubts.
One of the biggest doubts that they bring,
brothers and sisters,
is Okay.
You don't say that the death can benefit.
Alright?
You say that the death can benefit.
Why is it that when
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam went up
to Isra wal Mi'raj?
Isra wal Mi'raj.
And Musa alaihis salawat wasalam benefited the messenger
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam even though he's dead.
He said to him
When he was 50 salawat, Moses said to
him, go back to your Lord. For indeed
your Ummah, your people,
they won't be able
to pray this
large number of salawat.
Salawat. So here the dead he benefited
the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
So based upon this they will say to
you, okay
the Prophet got benefited by a dead person.
So these dead they can benefit us as
all.
Rather brothers and sisters,
This is a statement
that is absolutely Baatil, and it can be
rebuked from different angles.
Firstly brothers and sisters,
first point
you have
the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
He left this dunya that we are currently
living in and he went into the hayatul
barzakh.
We know the 3 lives, right? You have
the Hayatul Dunya, Hayatul Barzakh which is between
when a person dies
till
the day or when a person goes into
jannah.
Then you have the life from the hereafter.
These three lives.
So the Messenger sallallahu alaihi was brothers and
sisters,
he left his life and he went into
the hayat al bar zakih. He went into
that life.
And at the same time Musa was present
in front of him.
And we say brothers and sisters that you
can
make a request or do istighaza
when three conditions have been met.
That person is living,
he is also able and he is also
present there in front of you.
He is present.
And then you can ask for him to
benefit you. If you want to remove the
harm that someone is about to do against
you.
Ask him to do that with these three
conditions.
So Musa
was there in front of him and was
able to benefit him. So he left that
life he went into the hayat al barzakhir
and this is where the benefit took place.
But never ever will the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam put his hands up and make Dua
or Musa help me while he's in this
life and Musa is not in front of
him.
Okay someone might say and this is what
they say all the time. Where did you
all get these 3 conditions
from? Where did you all get these three
conditions from? You are bringing about innovation, making
your own conditions and general principles.
Rather through tatabbu and istaqah.
We took you out of the statement of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
In the time of Musa,
a man was being beaten up.
So, this man from Bona Israel, he called
on to Musa alaihi wa sato was saying,
Musa help me.
Was Musa living? Na'am. He was there in
front of him. Living. Was he in front
of me? Was he present? Was he Havre?
Yes. He was there present.
Was he Qadr?
Did he have the ability to die? No.
He did.
Musa fakhdha'alayhi so Musa punched him and he
died.
He said this from the actions of the
Shaitan and he was regretful for killing him.
The point is Allah used the word of
this
man who was in front of him. And
he knows Istiqa through Musa Alaihi Wasallam. So
he's permissible.
Point number 2.
We have the understanding of the Sahabah Ridwanullah
Wa'ala. And brothers and sisters, pay attention to
this.
It's not my understanding that governs us, nor
my sheikh's understanding, nor your sheikh, or my
uncle, or your dad, or your mom.
Rather it's the understanding of the Sahaba that
governs us.
We are governed by their understanding.
Quran, sunnah
When a famine took place
and has no water, it's from the essentials
of life.
Tell the sahaba, go to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam's grave
to do is to do is to do
is to gather.
It's a time of hardship.
The answer is no. They didn't. They didn't,
brothers and sisters.
In the time of Umar al Khattabah, a
famine took place.
He asked Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa'alehi because he was righteous.
Ask Allah to bring down the rain.
Was Abbas able? Yes.
Qadr. Was he Hader? Was he present? Yes.
Was he he was living. So all of
these brothers and sisters
was present.
And then after that the rain came down.
They had the ability to go to the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's grave.
The Prophet told us, if you ask, ask
Allahuja.
And there is a hadith which our brother
who served Abdul Rahman, he left it right
in the end as a back
breaker. Where the Prophet
said,
You do not do Istiraath through me, you
only do Istiraath with Allah
If a person is present,
we can't.
Like asking a person that is present and
living, oh guide my heart.
This is a shirk because he doesn't have
the ability to do that. Change my heart.
La It's from the things that are specific
to Allah as a wajid.
And also the other thing that he say
is that the prophet is
living.
He is able to benefit us and he
is not dead. Again, he goes against the
no source.
Firstly Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
He tells us in the Quran
You are going to die and they are
going to die as well.
Allah says also,
Every soul will taste death.
Every soul.
Are you now with me brothers and sisters?
And you also have the statement of Abu
Bakr radiAllahu anhu when he died.
And he said, ijma, there is a unanimous
agreement of Sahabi, he died in front of
them. He mentioned, and you can find Sahih
Bukhar, not even a long book in Sahih
Bukhar, the most authentic book after the book
of Allah. He said,
Whoever used to worship Muhammad and Muhammad has
died.
And whoever used to worship Allah, for when
Allah is, hey, he's living and he doesn't
die.
What does it show you? The closest companion
to the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
claiming this.
And then they say to you, okay, but
then you have the hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Never does a person send his salutations upon
me except Allah returns
my soul.
So these people who are giving salutations upon
the Prophet all day every day, Firstly, that's
something that you cannot guarantee for me because
you don't know what's going on in the
cone, in the universe, about every you're telling
me every, you know, every
moment that a person is, that's something that
is Kalam Farid anyway. And secondly, this proves,
brothers and sisters, that proof against them. And
I'll tell you why. Just looking at the
hadith.
He said
Does not a person that sends salutations upon
accept Allah as who returns
my soul?
If the prophet was still living, why would
he need to say return my soul? That
shows the prophet is dead then Allah azza
wa Jal returns his soul. He gives the
salams back and that's it. Same process.
The third doubt that they have.
And only when they oppressed themselves.
They came to you
And when they oppressed themselves, they came to
your messenger
And the Messenger sought forgiveness for them, they
would have found Allah as they were tawab
and rahimah.
They would have found Allah as they were
jal as
forgiving them and very merciful.
So brothers and sisters, they use this a
lot at the time. Okay. We can go
to the messenger
and seek forgiveness.
Brothers and sisters,
id
id here,
you can look at the books of Loa.
It is past tense. It is past tense
and we dealt with this in the
debate. We dealt with it in the debate.
So it's something that has already taken place
and if you want more information go back
to it inshallah
Inshallah brothers in the next episode we will
cover,
the 3rd nakid which is
