Allah
1st and foremost, my brothers and my sisters,
I want to just take a moment out
to show my appreciation and thanks
to the administration of the Masjid.
To everyone
who was involved in setting up this program,
Sheikh Ahmed,
Sheikh Samatha
and the rest of the brothers and sisters
who helped facilitate this.
I know it wasn't easy to put a
program like this together. We've seen how much
effort
and time
that many of these different organizations have put
into setting up these programs.
So I ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to
reward them with excellence
and to grant them the highest part of
Al Jannah.
Indeed, Wallahi, it's really, really nice to see
some of the brothers who were with me
in the university.
Yesterday, we was in Ottawa.
We met some of the brothers, Sheikh Abdurrahman
Hussain,
Sheikh Waseem,
Sheikh Adam was with us, Sheikh Guled,
all of the different brothers and some of
the other ones that I haven't mentioned, Sheikh
Fahad,
from those that I can remember, Sheikh Bashir.
And now to see some of my other
brothers,
colleagues who actually graduated before me, to see
them helping out and setting up these programs
for a colleague of theirs, it is indeed
something that is very, very pleasing to see.
These are brothers that you guys need to
take knowledge from my brothers and my sisters,
right? You have graduates,
you have brothers who have studied,
right, who are amongst you that you should
benefit from. We only don't come to the
Masjid
when Abu Taymiyyah comes, right? So may Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless every single one of
you and everyone that was involved
and our
other brothers. Oh, I want the Sheikh Samatara
to read.
If he can come up insha Allahu Ta'ala
read some verses. Please Sheikh.
Zagalakher.
They all wanted you to read Sheikh.
You. Me and him were at war with
one another for
second thing that I want to mention my
brothers and my sisters, Alhamdulillah,
at a lot of our events up and
down the country in the UK and also
when I go out internationally,
we've been getting some of the biggest drug
dealers,
trappers, rappers,
right? People from different walks of life all
attending the programs.
Sisters who go clubbing, wallahi there was even
a sister that messaged me.
I think it was on fitnagram,
right, or Twitter, one of them.
She messaged and saying how on a Friday
night
she was clubbing and then Saturday evening she
was sitting in my class or in my
lecture.
The point being my brothers and my sisters,
it brings a lot of joy seeing different
people from different walks of life coming to
these programs.
You as someone who regularly comes to the
Masjid
may see a certain type of individual
coming
that you are maybe not used to seeing.
And I say this especially to my sisters.
Right.
The sister may not have the dress code
that you are used to seeing
when coming regularly to the Masjid. And likewise
our brothers, you see a brother who has
a certain type of hairstyle
or is maybe wearing something, and then you
begin to stare down at him, or you
begin to make them feel as if they
are not worthy of being in the house
of Allah.
Remember the house of Allah does not belong
to me, it doesn't belong to the Imam,
it doesn't belong to the trustees.
The Masajid, they belong to Allah.
It doesn't belong to any other human being.
So everyone is welcome to walk into the
Masjid
at any time. One shouldn't be made to
fear just because
he is carrying out certain types of sins
and he's not welcome to come to the
house of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Right?
The houses of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala are
welcome for everyone my brothers and my sisters.
So please bear that in mind. Don't treat
someone tonight
in a way that it is the first
and the last time they come to the
Masjid.
Please, brothers and sisters,
a sister came up to us the other
day
in Montreal, France,
right?
Right at the end of the lecture,
4 sisters, 3 of them were wearing hijab,
one of them was not wearing the hijab.
Right? And the brothers witnessed this.
She said, brother, can you give me some
tips in how to deal with
my mother who doesn't allow me to wear
the hijab?
These are the kinds of people that are
coming to these programs.
Right? And she started getting very emotional, and
the brothers told me that she got very,
her eyes got very watery.
Right.
These are people who want to come to
these programs to better their understanding of the
deen. The fact that they came, Aslan.
The fact that they came, doesn't that show
that there's goodness in their heart,
right? Especially with this controversial conservative individual,
right?
They want to learn about the deen. They're
sick and tired
of hearing a watered down version of the
deen.
That brings me on to another point.
Some of the enemies of Al Islam,
they've been doing this a lot to me
in the last couple of months. Whenever I
go to a program they try to bombard
the Masjid or the organization.
Right?
And they try to use fear mongering tactics
to get the program shut down.
They tried to do that with some of
the organizations here.
Even when I was doing
a 27
university
tour in the UK, secular universities,
you always have these blue haired feminists
and the rainbow team trying their utmost best
to shut down the program.
But they always fall flat on their faces
and they fell miserably,
right?
So I know that they've tried to message
some of the organizations
and Alhamdulillah
I always thought that Canadians were soft.
No offense, guys.
Right? No, not a single organization budged.
Not a single organization budged, and this is
what we want to see
from our fellow brothers and sisters
who run these different organizations and Masajid.
Right?
Allahu Akbar. Honestly, it brought me a lot
of happiness. It really really did. Right? It
really really did.
Right? Because this is exactly what they do.
They try to use fear mongering tactics
to get you scared. And in reality,
they have absolutely nothing to stand on. So
I want to make it very, very clear
from the get go, I, at Batamia,
I'm not a hate preacher.
I don't incite violence towards anyone.
Not a single minority or religion have I
incited violence against.
I know some of the topics that we
discussed are pretty controversial and colorful on my
YouTube channel,
but not a single video has been taken
down and that is simply because we put
these
disclaimers at the beginning to make it very
very clear and so that
they can't use anything against us.
I, as a Buteymya, don't have my own
views and opinions. I just quote the scripture.
I just quote the scripture. And whatever is
mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah of
the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and I go
through a lot of studies
and statistics,
right, that I sometimes use to substantiate
some of the programs and the lectures that
I deliver.
My brothers and my sisters,
today Be'n Alayhi Ta'ala,
I want to speak a little bit about
the last few moments before you depart from
this world.
That which is inevitable
is that every single one of us is
going to die.
No one is immortal,
right? Every single individual
is going to depart from this world, my
brothers and my sisters,
right?
It could be
via car crash.
It could be because of a shotgun.
It could be due to a stab wound.
All of these are means,
right?
Of you departing from this world.
When your time is up, your time is
up.
Laaistakhtimuna
sa'atin walaistakhiroon,
right?
It will not be delayed
or it will not be brought forward.
When your time is up, your time is
up, my brothers and my sisters.
Right?
All of these are just means.
But the question is that I want every
single one of us to think about.
How is it that we want to depart
from this world?
What do you want to be doing before
the Angel of death rips your soul out
of your body.
What is the last thing that you want
to be doing?
How many deaths
do we need to witness my brothers and
my sisters
in order for us to flip our lives
around?
In order for us to take heed? Allah
says in the Quran,
It will be said to those
when they are resurrected,
Didn't we give you enough time?
We gave you enough years
to work hard,
right? For you to take heed. Wajaakumun
Nadeer.
Didn't the Nadeer come to you? If you
translate that literally, Nadeer means wona.
The scholars of Tafsir, they talk about what
this wona was.
Abdulai ibn Abbas and Adnan Nam they said,
the white hairs that began to appear on
your face.
You see white hairs appearing on your face
and you
still don't wake up from your deep sleep,
right? Others they mention, Mautul Aqarib.
Your relatives pass away
one after the other and you still
don't take heed.
Kaffabil Muti wa'ivan, as the Messenger sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam said.
Death is enough of a reminder,
right?
Aqthirumindzikrihadimilladdhat
in another Hadith.
Excessively,
remember that which is going to destroy all
pleasures.
And that is what? Death.
Some of us are thinking and worrying about
2 years down the line, 3 years down
the line, what I want to acquire, what
I wanna do.
What guarantee do we have that we're going
to live till tomorrow brothers and sisters?
Couple of years ago,
we had an 8 months
that I've never ever experienced. Wallahi al-'Azim, it
shook the tribe,
it shook the family.
And some of you guys may have heard
this online,
right?
I lost 3 relatives,
3 relatives
in the space of 8 months, brothers and
sisters,
right?
The first was my younger brother,
22 years of age, stabbed in the neck,
brothers and sisters.
Stabbed in the neck.
Can you imagine what the parents were going
through? What the relatives end up going through,
right?
Fast forward,
couple of months after that, another cousin of
mine car crash.
24 years of age.
I buried both of them with my own
two hands.
We would go for Umrah
with a bunch of drug dealers and roadmen.
Some of them, my brothers and my sisters,
you know what I would say to them?
Don't make me the one
who
is giving that reminder at your grave.
How many reminders do we need?
A couple of months after that I went
back to Saudi Arabia.
Another time I went for Umrah. Left Madinah,
went for Umrah, sitting in front of Kaaba.
I get a message,
your 18 year old cousin been stabbed in
the chest.
18 years of age stabbed in the chest
on one of the most busiest roads in
Birmingham,
Coventry Road in Birmingham,
very well known infamous road.
Three relatives brothers and sisters,
right? Like I said before, it could be
a stab wound, it could be a car
crash, it could be anything.
Your time was written,
right? A very
very very long time ago.
Some of us live life as if my
brothers and my sisters were going to live
to the age of 80 or the age
of 90.
Right?
Go to the graveyard.
How many?
2000 are you going to see?
Walking around the graveyard, my brothers and my
sisters, 2000 are you going to see?
Right?
Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam will say,
I initially
prohibited you from visiting the graves, now I
say to go to it, go to these
graves.
Why? Why? Fa'ina Tuzakirukum Bilakhra.
It causes you now to reflect on the
Hereafter, wadu Zahidu Fid Dunya
and to overlook the pleasures of this world,
right?
Go to the grave, I don't care what
is going on in your life.
You might be the biggest trapper, the biggest
drug dealer
walking on the face of this earth
in the most arrogant of way.
Go to that grave and stand on top
of it,
8 feet down into the ground,
every single one of us
are going to be admitted into that grave,
brothers and sisters.
And then tell me whether you wanna continue
this trap life or this satanic life that
you're living,
right?
How many reminders, brothers and sisters, do we
need in order for us to wake up,
right? You got people killing one another, taking
each other's lives like his happy days.
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he told us about how sacred the Kaaba
is.
I'm sure a lot of us we saw
that video of DJ Khaled when he went
to Kaaba,
right?
What did looking at the Kaaba do to
DJ Khaled? Someone who's involved in sin. I've
seen a video before and after, right?
Him and some Saudis,
right? They're moving their heads around
due to some track that they're listening to.
Before and after.
But the moment he saw the Kaaba, this
man
who perhaps his heart has become so blackened
because of what he's involved in,
right, humbled.
It brought him to tears.
It brought him to tears, my brothers and
my sisters,
right, upon seeing the Kaaba. Let me ask
you guys a question,
right? Would any of us even think about
punching into the Kaaba
or shooting at Kaaba
or striking the Kaaba? Would that even cross
anybody's mind?
Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is telling us, lahadmulkaabati
Hajaran Hajarah
that you destroy the Kaaba and you demolish
it and then you move parts of it
one after the other
is a lesser of a problem
in the eyes of Allah than taking the
soul of a Muslim.
You know destroying the Kaaba
is lesser of an issue
in the eyes of Allah Azza wa Jal,
right?
Then taking the life
of an innocent Muslim.
Right?
The messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us, idal
taqal Muslimani biseifahihimah.
If 2 Muslims they square up to one
another.
2 Muslims,
they both have their weapons and they squared
up to one another. Al Qaatilu wal Maqsoo
Al Finar.
The one who killed and the one who
was killed, both of them are in hellfire.
The companions they asked,
right, the companions they asked.
They will understand the one who killed, he's
in hellfire.
How about the other, he was killed? He
didn't kill. Why should he be in hellfire?
He was extremely eager, he had strong determination,
he wanted to kill as well, right? Except
that a killer got there first
and took his
life. Both are in the Hal Fire my
brothers and my sisters.
What kind of life are we living,
right? Something that we take so lightly. Sometimes
we, hey, guys in the UK, I'm sure
it's no different here. Just go stab him
up a little bit, teach him a lesson,
and then he ends up killing him.
Just get his knees or shoot him in
the knees,
and then he ends up taking his life.
Right?
My brothers and my sisters, we hear a
lot about the good ending, the bad ending.
I'm sure a lot of us we've seen
videos going around,
right?
Of 1 holding the Mus'haf, Sah.
He's holding the Mus'haf
or he's maybe praying in the house of
Allah
at around 9 AM or 10 AM.
Do most people come to the mizr at
9 or 10 AM? Let's be honest. When
do they normally come? Fajar, Duhur, Asr, Maghrib,
Be'raisha. The rest of the time they're working,
and there's no problem with that. But this
man walks into the Masjid at 9 and
10 AM, and he's praying.
The only thing that sees him after Allah
is that CCTV.
It managed to capture
the last few moments of his life,
right. When I was in the Medina, my
brothers and my sisters,
I seen a brother who was lying down,
the time of the salah, the iqam is
going off in the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam masjid. He stood up and he started
walking towards
the front rows
of Al Masjid Nimwih
and then guess what happens? He drops dead
right in front of my eyes.
When all of this happens, my brothers and
my sisters, do you think it happens by
chance?
You think all of this happens by chance
my brothers and my sisters?
When we see this we think, oh, I
want something like that. I want to die
in my salah.
Right. I wish I could die like that
my brothers and my sisters.
Everybody wants that.
But do you think it happens by chance?
These are examples
of a Husnul Khatima,
of a good ending my beloved brothers and
sisters.
The principle is You Jama'atul Khair.
If you don't,
the principle is Waman Aqtharamin Shayin Mataalai Waman
Mataalai Ba'athalai
I hope we can write that,
right, in gold.
Something for us to remember all the time.
Whoever is excessive in doing something, he's very
likely going to die like that.
Isn't that common sense?
Whoever is excessive in doing something, he's very
likely going to die
like that. This wonderful story that I came
across,
right, and perhaps Insha'Allah Ta'ala we can take
inspiration from it.
There is a great Muhadid, a scholar of
Hadid.
His name was Abu Zur Atarazi.
He was on his deathbed.
Right? He had 2 companions.
The first Abu Hatima Razi
and also Muhammad ibn Muslim,
right? They had this kind of like student
teacher relationship with Abu Zura even though they
were contemporaries.
They knew he was on his deathbed.
However, they felt very shy to get him
to do the Talkeen.
What does Talkeen mean?
Does anyone know? Talkeen means when you're on
your deathbed,
right? Someone comes and he tries to get
you to say La ilaha illallah.
Right? Hoping that the last thing that comes
out of your mouth is the Kalimatu Tuhid.
I'm sure we've all heard of the hadith
manqana.
Whoever's last statement is, La Ilah Allah what
happens?
He will enter into Jannah.
Everyone here,
if you ask them say Ila Ila Ila
Ila Ila Ila Ila Ila Ila Ila Ila
Ila Ila Ila Ila Ila Ila?
Can
anyone, right, struggle my brothers and my sisters
with the kalimah?
Perhaps no one can. You think it's that
straightforward on your deathbed, my brothers and my
sisters?
You think it's that straightforward? We can say
it now. You think it's that straightforward on
your deathbed?
Right. So the Hadith says whoever's last statement
is La ilaha illallah
dakhalaljannah.
He will enter into Al Jannah. So when
one is on his deathbed and you got
him to say La Ilahi Illallah, if he
says anything else after it,
we have to restart.
After he said La ilaha illa kala, stop.
Don't say anything else to him hoping that's
the last thing that comes out of his
mouth. But if he does say something like
for example, what happened to my money? Where
is it going? Try to get him to
say, la ilaha illaikir.
Are your brothers and sisters with me? So
he's on his deathbed.
So they planned amongst themselves,
how can we get him now to start
doing the Talkeen? To say La ilaha illallah.
They said, Let's get him to revise hadith.
So they went to him, Abu Zarah
a Razi,
and he said, Let's revise some of the
hadith
of when one is on his deathbed.
So then because he was a great scholar
in hadith, laulal Isnaad Naqalaman Sha'a masha.
If it wasn't for the chain of narration,
everyone will go and say as they wish,
right?
So he began to mention the chain of
narration of the hadith.
Al Nabeel Kalahadithin Abdul Hamidin Njafar Ansalhim Nabiarib
and Kathir ibn Murrah
and Mu'adhibu
Jibil who was a companion
that narrated this hadith.
He said, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said.
And now he's on his deathbed about to
narrate the hadith.
You guys know the end of the Hadith,
right? Whoever says it, he will enter into
Jannah.
Last thing that comes out of his mouth
is the
What was the end of the Hadith? It
ended into Jannah, right? We don't want him
to say it.
He will enter into Al Jannah, right?
That's the last thing that came out of
his mouth, the
La Ilah Illallah,
and he departed from this world.
This man my brothers and my sisters, he
lived the life of
Quran
Sunnah,
learning the book of Allah and the Sunnah
of the Messenger
You want to die like that? Be someone
my brothers and my sisters who strengthens his
tawhid,
who learns about who Allah is. You know
one of the most common questions that I
receive all the time, you know what it
is?
Brother, I want to practice,
right? However, I don't feel that connection with
Allah.
I feel spiritually dead and empty.
I don't feel that love that I should
have for my Lord.
What is the issue?
Right? I'll tell you guys,
I know there are people here
that respect certain types of individuals. Let's be
honest here. A lot of you guys respect
Andrew Tate, right?
By the way, this is not an endorsement.
But the reason why you all respect him
is because of all the things that you
came to know about him.
He achieved this,
he had this mokhif,
he did that,
he bought this Bugatti,
he sold this, he made all this money,
we all tend to respect him, right?
And I'm sure my sisters all there are
people that they respect that have role models.
Pay attention my brothers and my sisters,
right?
How do we expect to love Allah or
to have that connection with Allah and we
know absolutely nothing about it?
I've been saying this a lot in my
lectures. We don't know anything about Allah.
How do you expect to even have that
connection with Allah for Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala?
We know soccer teams, right? Basketball teams, if
I ask about LeBron James, You know everything
about him.
Right?
We know everything about these rappers. What was
that rapper called that you guys told me
about earlier?
Top 5. Top 5. Right?
We know the ins and the outs of
their lives,
where they are, how they live their life,
and whatever have you. These are non Muslims
my brothers and my sisters. Have we gone
out our way
to learn about who Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is my brothers and my sisters?
Right. If you look at a lot of
these kuffar,
what happens when they go through a couple
of problems here and there? What is it
that they do?
Who tell couldn't tell me?
They smoke, cannabis is legal here, says come
and get me.
Right?
They begin to drink,
why are they drinking?
In order to make themselves feel better. The
man's feeling miserable, he's depressed.
So I always say, they drink to forget,
we do Zikr to remember.
People begin to turn to these drugs in
order to distract their minds.
You know, cocaine, what they call it in
the UK? Britain's open secret.
Britain's Open Secret. Who do you think is
consuming
it? The junkie? The neat guy that you
see rolling around at the bus stop when
you go up fajr? Wallahi lah. Not only
him.
Professionals are consuming it,
right?
People that have money are consuming it.
I meet drug dealers all the time,
right? All the time.
Not like that before you take the wrong
end of the stick.
All the time I come in contact with
them.
And Wallahi brothers and sisters, they are empty.
As he's walking, Arabi is calm so arrogantly
with one of the latest scars you can
think of. And then what? He's sitting there
feeling sorry for himself,
right,
all down and out miserable.
But then as soon as he walks off,
he walks off again the way he came.
This is the reality.
So they smoke and they consume
and they abuse these drugs in order to
make themselves feel better.
However, my brothers and my sisters, if we
knew who Allah azza wa Jal was, Al
Hakim.
When things start going wrong for us,
just understanding
Allah Azawajal
being all wise.
Alayisallahu
biakamil
Hakimin.
Memorize it, sort of teen.
Izzan Allah Azzawajal, the Most Wise
from those who have wisdom
that everything happens for a reason.
Allah doesn't take something away from you because
He hates you,
or because He wants to suppress you, perhaps
He may do that in order to bring
you back up stronger.
How many a time have we been in
a situation
where we lost something, right? And we thought
that that was the best thing for us.
Years go by,
right?
And then that's when we say
if that didn't happen I wouldn't have this
today. Isn't it so brothers and sisters?
To give you guys an example that you
can relate to, you really badly want to
marry that sister.
You do everything in your power to acquire
her
and it doesn't happen. To make things worse,
your best friend comes along and he snatches
her from under your nose.
Do this,
stops you in the back.
Yes, go by my brothers and my sisters,
and Allah blesses you with a woman
that has qualities and characteristics
that the mind can't imagine.
That's when you say, if that didn't happen
I wouldn't have this today.
But the Kufar
are sitting around feeling sorry for themselves,
drinking drinking their lives away.
What does the Prophet
teach us?
When things start going wrong or you miss
out on something, say Khadar Allah. Allah decreed
it.
Don't say if only, if only I did
this and I did that.
Are you brothers and sisters with me?
Because if only if only is going to
open a door for the devil.
Now we understand everything happens for a reason.
Allah is all wise. Let Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala carry out his plan
and He knows better than anyone else, Wallahu
You'alamu Antumma Ta'alamun.
Allah knows and you don't know my brothers
and my sisters.
This man lived the life of Tawhid.
You wanna die upon La ilaha illallah my
brothers and my sisters,
right?
Be someone
who learns about Allah and the rights that
He has over you,
right? And the only source of information that
we have of Allah is none other than
His names and His attributes that have been
extrapolated from the Quran and the Sunnah of
the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Are you prophets and sisters with me?
You want to be in a better place
spiritually,
start learning about Allah.
Otherwise you're going to keep on going round
and round and round.
Tali.
Sorry sir,
I seen this guy was getting distracted, I
was like, what is he doing?
Are you prophets and sisters with me?
Are your brothers and sisters with me? Yes.
Live a life of tawhid.
Guys, we're here for the dawah, for the
reminders. Right? So inshallah, we're gonna focus on
that.
You want to die upon la ilaha illa
my brothers and my sisters, you have your
ansa.
It doesn't just happen by chance,
right?
The more you are involved
in La Illahillah,
in a Tawhid, in the Quran and the
Sunnah,
you might end up getting a death like
this,
Ababuzurah
Atarazi.
Right.
That then brings me on to my brothers
and my sisters,
I'm going to finish with this.
Sual khatima,
a bad ending.
Right? A bad ending.
The scholars, they split this into 2,
and dying, and the last thing that you
are engaging in was a sin.
That's
one part. The other part is
doing something, my brothers and my sisters, that
is maybe from the matters of the world.
Dunya,
glitters and the glimmers of
this beautiful lie. That's what we call it.
Right?
Especially in today's day and age my brothers
and my sisters, wallahi scary times.
If you are someone with children,
right,
you should be terrified.
And if you don't have children,
I'm sure everyone here is looking to get
married.
If you're not looking to get married, there's
nothing wrong with you.
Come see me. Right?
After getting married that excitement dies down.
You're looking for the next big thing which
is to have children.
It comes with a huge responsibility.
Right?
I'm sure my brothers and my sisters,
we are well aware
of what is taking place
in schools,
right?
That which is being shoved down the throats
of our children,
right?
And slapped on their faces.
Are you brothers and sisters with me?
Their ideology,
their fitrah,
their natural disposition is being distorted.
You know my brothers and my sisters, the
one who narrated the most Hadith, who is
he? Does anyone know?
Abu Hurairah.
We're going to Abu Hurairah visit tomorrow InshaAllah.
I hope to see every single one of
you guys.
The one who narrated the most Hadith was
none other than Abu Hurayra.
Who was second in line? Does anyone know?
According
to? Give me evidence, guys. According to?
That was SubhanAllah the way you guys said
it, Yani, it's like unanimous agreement.
According to
Asiyyatirahmatullahi
alaihi was got an Alfiya,
a thousand line poem, He says well,
Abu Hurayra tilib n Umar, the one who
narrated the most Hadith of the Hurayra and
then Abdullah ibn Umar. Yes, Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala
is in the top 5.
We'll go after that. Do you know how
many hadith he narrated?
Abdullah ibn Amr?
He's guessing
1630
Hadith.
Why am I mentioning all of this my
brothers and sisters?
Put your hand up if you've been to
the Kaaba.
After we finished doing Tawaf, where do you
go?
Safa and Marwa, right? Safa and Marwa is
from the places where your Duas
get accepted.
Out of all the duas that Abdullah ibn
Umar, the son of Umar Khanhfa
could make, you know, duas that he would
make?
He would say, Allahumma innakaqtudruoni
astajiblakum
bayinnaqalatukhifilmi'ad,
O Allah You promised,
call on to me and I'm going to
respond and You never break Your promises.
You Allah, just as You guided me to
Al Islam,
don't take Islam away from me.
Wa antata wa fani wa anna Musliman.
Allow me to die
as a Muslim.
Subdullai my brothers and sisters,
right? Aren't we more in need to make
this kind of dua?
Especially with all the isms and the schisms
and the rainbows and whatever have you around
us,
right?
That we are being bombarded with
to ask Allah
to keep us firm, my brothers and my
sisters.
He wasn't the only one,
right, Prophet
You Muqalib al Khloobsib al Khloobsib al Khloob
al Adeenik, O turner of the hearts, keep
our hearts firm.
Tawafani Muslimanwalhekhli
basatihahein Yusuf said, Wajnubni
wabaniyah Nabud al Islam Ibrahim said, the man
who broke the idol that is making duayyah
Allah prevent me and my offspring from worshipping
idols,
right.
Musa likewise
begging Allah Allah to allow them to die
as Muslims and in the right state.
My brothers and my sisters, these are examples
from books of the scholars of the past.
I really, really hope it strikes a chord
and perhaps
it may well be,
right, one of the most important things that
you take away today.
Examples of a Surah Khatima,
Ibn Tayyid Muhammadullah,
he mentions in his Kitab Al Jawab Al
Kafih.
It's one of those books that really really
changed the way I think I should say
maybe what it changed my life.
It's even translated into English, the spiritual sickness
and it's cure.
It really allowed me to put,
right, perspectives into place,
right, things began to fall into place upon
going into
this book when Sheikh Abdul Zakir brother was
teaching us in the Haram,
right.
It's called the spiritual sickness in school, it
speaks about the consequences
and the effects of sins. Many people my
brothers and my sisters
they think when you sin or when you
oppress another or when you harm another the
only time you have to answer
to these sins is when you meet Allah.
You're wrong my friend,
your sins will come back to haunt you
sooner or later,
especially if you are oppressing others.
How many guys that I see on the
streets,
they would break people's legs,
stub them up just to teach them a
lesson, and then eventually, they ended up in
a wheelchair.
Examples after examples,
Right. You may ask
how is it possible that someone is doing
great
and then just before the end of his
life
he dies a very very bad way. You
know the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam that is Mahal Ishqali Kathirmin Anas.
He keeps doing. Imagine now, guys,
someone lives for 70 years,
69 years he's doing righteous deeds,
and then there's only a little bit left
before he goes into Aljannah.
Right?
Little bit left. He does the actions of
the people of the fire and that's how
he dies.
Ibnur Rajabi says, lead the sea set in
fiqalbih
because of a disease in his heart.
You know what the disease is? I'll tell
you guys, and I've seen it happen to
a lot of people.
Even a brother who went for Hajj and
he came back to try and flip his
life around, but the kind of mindset he
had was,
well, I already made Tawba once, let me
just go to the club.
Right. Let me just go hang out.
Let me just go play around with her.
I'll do it and then I'm gonna make
Tawba again. This is a disease.
He knows what is right and what is
wrong. I already made Tawba once, he thinks
he can deceive Allah
and guess what? How many people do we
find?
I will and I shall repent. How many
people went to sleep and never woke up
And they kept on telling them I shall
and I will and I want to make
Dua for me,
right? As soon as he leaves he goes
back to his ways.
Perhaps I will put it in the context
as to why someone may die like that.
So Ibn Uqayim here is saying there there
was an individual who was on his deathbed,
my brothers and my sisters.
They tried to get him to say La
Illahil Allah.
Everyone here can say it, like I said,
it's not that straightforward on your deathbed. Right?
Guess what this man who's on his deathbed
said? He's on his deathbed and he says
this,
wama aarifu ani salaytulillahi
salatanfalam
yukulah.
Are you guys alright?
Are you guys alright?
Adiqa.
Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. The one
who's the imamah.
It's
I I know, so they come move again.
No. No. It's not Adi. Jokso.
Stand up. Please come and say You.
Do the walk of shame, Haya.
Don't worry. I haven't done anything once. Come
here.
Prophet, pay attention when you need it done,
these statements are very very powerful.
He's on his deathbed, he says,
How is this going to benefit me?
Right. I never prayed a single prayer,
and He never said it.
Right.
Do you guys watch soccer?
That's how you guys say it, right?
Have you guys heard of an individual called
Alan Shearer?
Do you guys know him? Yeah. Or do
you guys watch hockey?
Canada is known for hockey.
He said only the Adans.
What about Adiqa?
And I even heard Sheikh Martalla once I
mentioned this and I heard others as well
say this to me directly.
This guy was one of the biggest or
greatest
football scorers,
soccer scorers, sorry,
right? He still holds the record
of the amount of goals that have been
scored.
The Sheikh said to me there was a
child
who was crazy this football player,
He's like Lebron James in a basketball scene.
Right? You can just substitute it.
You walk into this young man's house or
into his bedroom, everything is Alan Shearer.
Wallpaper Alan Shearer,
his duvet Alan Shearer,
Well that you guys are laughing,
I don't find it funny,
right.
Woman aktharamin
shayin mata'aleh.
Whoever is excessive in doing something is very
likely going to die like that.
Right. Another example my brothers and my sisters,
Ib Nur Rajab mentions
in his explanation of 40 hadith is called
Jami'aluloomi
wal Hikam. When speaking about one of the
righteous scholars of the past called Abdul Aziz
ibn Abiirawad.
They wanted he was on his deathbed, this
individual and Abdul Aziz ibn Abi Rawad walked
in
And they tried to get him to say
La ilaha illallah, you know what this guy
on the deathbed said?
He's a disbeliever in what you're asking him
to say, and then he died.
Abdul Aziz ibn Abi Rawad
did some digging up to see what kind
of life he lived.
Do you know what kind of life he
lived brothers and sisters?
He used to be an alcoholic
and then that's how he died.
Another example my brothers and sisters that Imam
Daha'bir Ahmadullah mentions,
right, about a man
that used to sit,
he never used to do it himself but
he used to sit with people who used
to drink.
Sometimes a brother says to me, Wallahi, I'm
not doing it. I'm just sitting.
I'm just, you know, kicking back with the
with the Laz, right?
Or the homies.
He's on his deathbed. They tried to get
him to say La ilaha illallah. What do
you think he said?
He never used to do it. He just
used to sit with him.
Right.
Drink and pour the alcohol for me. And
that's how we died, brothers and sisters.
He just used to hang around with them.
He just used to sit with them, my
brothers and my sisters.
We're not done, my brothers and my sisters.
Have you guys heard of chess?
Ibn Al Qayyib Rahmatullahi Alaihi
Al Zahabi in his Kitab al Kabair, he
talks about someone who used to love playing
chess,
Shatranj,
right.
He's on his deathbed, he used to do
this a lot.
They tried to get him to say La
Illahillaha, which thing he said?
Checkmate.
Waman Aktharamin
Shayin Mata'alai,
whoever is excessive in doing something is very
likely going to die like that.
Are you prophets and sisters with me? That
is the general principle,
right.
Let me ask you guys a question, playing
ball, basketball is haram,
playing soccer is haram.
I'm a bit of a baller myself guys.
I will humiliate you on the football pitch.
Alright.
Let me ask you guys a question, does
anyone want to die on the basketball court,
on the soccer pitch,
football pitch?
Right?
No one is saying that it's haram
and again this is just common sense.
If you're doing this all the time,
what's the likelihood that you will die on
that?
Using your phone is a Haram?
Is it Haram guys?
Right? I use an Apple phone.
I was gonna say something about Samsung, but
I don't wanna upset my brothers.
They've been getting offended. I've been very opinionated
about Samsung.
I'm a die hard loyal Apple fan guys.
You're on your phone all day using social
media as a haram guys,
but if you're on there all day every
day, my brothers, all day every day, is
that how you wanna die?
On TikTok just skimming, skimming, skimming,
sha Allahu ta'ala, you're all gonna delete TikTok
before you leave this masjid.
Right, the devil's app.
Right.
Like I said,
Muhammad Akh Thalamin Shayin, Mata'ala, whoever is excessive
in doing something is very likely going to
die like that. That's common sense.
The last one that I want to mention
my brothers and my sisters is what Ibn
Khayyim Muhammadullahalayyim
had mentioned of.
Actually, no. There's another one as well.
About a man who used to and
sing,
And I'm going to mention exactly
what Ibn Al Qayyim mentioned,
and by the way, passed away 700 years
ago, right.
He said, Kana yuhibbul agani wa yuradiduha.
He used to love music
and he used to and say it repeatedly
all the time. He's on his deathbed, my
brothers and my sisters, what do you think
he said?
You know, Ib Raqqaiem says,
he would say tentata,
tentata,
tentata,
tenta, and that's how he departed from the
world.
You know, I mentioned this on the Mimbar
on a Friday,
in one of the biggest mosques in Manchester
called Mazzefir Khan, I think you guys have
maybe seen it, run by our Sheikh, Sheikh
Mohammed Ali.
A Somali uncle came up to me and
he said, I want to share something with
you.
Right.
And he said in your next lecture mention
it.
He goes, I went back home to Somalia.
And there was a lady
who was on her deathbed.
Every time they tried to get there to
say La Illa Illa, she would move her
head to the left.
She'll move her head to the left and
then she would
What kind of life did she live? You
know whenever there was a party, they would
call her over,
right, to do these Somali songs.
Whatever they call it?
Karamba.
Karamba. Whatever
it's called.
You know when they put on the dira
and they start playing that thing,
right?
This is what she was known for. She
would they would invite her over, give her
a bit of money, and this is how
she would do.
And he goes, Wallaha, witness it.
Right? You may think all of these narrations
or all these statements always out of touch
with reality.
Here is one
for that which is very well known, my
brothers and my sisters, of that which happened
now.
My mother one time told me that there
was his brother. He was on his deathbed.
He had HIV or AIDS or something along
the lines.
They tried to get him to say La
ilaha illallah.
He said bring my girlfriend, bring my girlfriend.
He's about to die in a man has
AIDS or HIV,
and that's how he departed from this world,
my brothers and my sisters.
Right.
Another example that Ibn Al Qayy mentions about
someone who used
to just be doing business all day every
day.
And he says Akbarani Ba'udu Jarr. Some businessmen,
they told me this.
The individual was on his deathbed and they
tried to get him to say La la
ilaha illa Allah.
And you know what his response was?
Hadhi lukitaah
rakhizah
Right? This is very cheap,
right?
Hada,
right,
zaboonunjayid,
right? Hada mushtarinjayid,
this is a good customer.
And that's how he passed away and this
was the last thing that came out of
his mouth. The principle is,
Whoever is excessive in doing something is very
likely going to die like that.
And then it doesn't end there, my brothers
and my sisters.
After that, you are resurrected.
Right? The end of the generation is, as
the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, You'll
be resurrected
upon that which you used to do.
Right, walmarummaamalahab
and you'll be standing with the people that
you love.
If you loft these rappers, top 5,
Imagine now you being brought with Him
on the day of resurrection, and you guys
what are side by side
or any of these other rappers that we
idolize.
Whatever you were doing before, you'll be resurrected
upon that.
We are told my brothers and my sisters
about someone who died in the state of
Ihram,
right.
On Yomartiyama,
He will be resurrected and he is saying
Labbeik Allahum Labbeik Labbeik Lasharika Lakal Abbeik.
We are told about a shahid, a Marta,
right?
Someone who died for the sake of Allah
in Jihad
And just in case we have CNN or
Fox News here, ready to take out of
context, I'm about to say I'm not recruiting
for ISIS.
Jihad is part of our religion, I am
unapologetic
about it. And there are what? Rules and
regulations,
not what they are doing.
Right?
As I know, even amongst us,
everywhere I go, they're following us around
waiting for every slip
so they can what? Have a field day
with it, and we're not going to give
them a chance.
Right.
You died in Al Jihad.
Listen, not Jihad what they're doing on the
streets of Toronto, guys.
2 Muslims are squaring up to one another.
We already mentioned
Al Qaatiluwalmaktulafinar,
the one who killed and the one who
was killed, they're both in the Hellfire, the
Messenger
told us.
Right?
So he died in Jihad,
Messenger
said don't wash him.
He will be resurrected, Yomar Qiyamati
Right?
Where he was wounded, it will have the
color of blood and the rih, the smell
of musk.
We are told my brothers and my sisters
also,
right,
the one who died upon the Shahadah saying
La Illahillallah, he will be resurrected saying La
Illahillah.
Another example that I've written down here my
brothers and my sisters,
right?
Someone who died
in a state
where he was drunk
or high,
Both come under this, my brothers and my
sisters.
Does it happen
every single Eid we hear something similar to
this?
Right? I've been saying it in Ramadan.
The video was going viral, that one minute
clip how I hear every single year
when someone dies either maybe with alcohol in
his mouth, now you have these balloons,
right?
Or he's inside of a room with a
sister doing some Haram.
Every single Eid I hear about that,
Right. Here
the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us, Hadith
Anasalabiurayrah.
Whoever dies
intoxicated
in the grave,
right,
Or should I say before when Malak almoh,
the Angel of death comes to him, he
will be staring at it in an intoxicated
manner, and then in the grave,
right?
Will you add your mumkaran wanakiran,
sakrana,
the 2 angels write I will come to
you mumkaranakeer,
right,
intoxication. Right. Ila khandaqin fiwasati jahannam yusammasakran.
And then he will be taken to a
pit from the pits of Jahannam.
It is called Sakran,
and the examples are many. Likewise, someone who
is arrogant. We walk on the face of
this earth in an arrogant manner, right, thinking
that we are something.
You know, I live on the 15th floor
in Lestar,
right.
You look down, you see human beings walking
around, right?
They're like a dot. That's how small you
are. No matter how much money you make
or how much money you've acquired,
you are that dot
that you see walking around. The Messenger Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam told us Yuhsharul Mutakabiroona
yomarkiamati
amthalatharifisoririjal.
Yaqsharumudzulluminqulimakan
the proud arrogant individual
will be gathered on the day of judgment
resembling tiny particles
in the image of men.
They will be covered with humiliation everywhere.
They
will be dragged into a prison in *
called Bulas,
submerged in the fires of fires,
drinking the drippings of the people of the
fire, their waste, that's what you're going to
be drinking,
filled with derangement.
You killed someone,
the generation man is actually weak.
You will be carrying his head on your
shoulders.
That person
that you took his life, you're going to
be what? Resurrected holding him my brothers and
my sisters.
How do you want to end your life?
My brothers and my sisters, a humble request,
take this reminder
and flip your life around, the door of
repentance is open.
I don't care how many lives that you
have taken,
how much Haram you've
done.
You can take 99
steps or should I say a 1000000 steps
away from Allah. You only need one step
to return back to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
One step
to Allahu Jala Firola,
the door of repentance is open,
even if you leave the religion the door
of repentance is still open for you to
come back.
Right.
Life is too short.
How many bodies
are we witnessing
being buried, my brothers and my sisters?
When are we going to wear the hijab,
my sisters? When are we going to do
that which is pleasing to Allah, my sisters,
please?
Don't let it be that the only time
you are covered
is when you are covered being admitted into
the grave.
Don't let it be that that's the only
time that you are covered, my brothers and
my sisters.
Right.
Oh, stop there, inshaAllah ta'ala.
I hope you guys benefited from this reminder.
Again, I just wanna say thank you to
every single one of you guys, right, for
really turning up.
Tomorrow we have a program in Abu Huraira,
and we're going to speak a little bit
about one of the best chapters in the
Quran, Suraj Yusuf,
especially, you know, the part where
she locked him in the room.
Yusuf was
granted half the beauty of mankind,
half the beauty of mankind, Uti al Shastra
al Shustun,
and she was absolutely, what, blown away by
how handsome he was.
She couldn't control herself, lust can at times
be uncontrollable.
So she locked him in the room and
then she said, hey, Talaq, let's get it
on.
That part, how to deal with these temptations
and modern day fitan,
we'll discuss that tomorrow InshaAllah Ta'ala, and I
hope to see every single one of you
guys.
There will be a Q and A, right?
So if you guys have any questions,
you guys can write InshaAllahu Ta'ala.
The brothers are handing over
these papers.
Can I ask you guys a question before
before I leave?
Have I incited violence?
No. Have I incited hatred? Can you say
it louder for the cameras? No. Assalamu alaikar.
CNN and Fox News can go home disappointed.
You know my dear respected brothers and likewise
sisters Binalil Karim, I just want to remind
myself and you guys as well
as is a very beautiful opportunity that you
guys have as Allah Azzawajalai he mentions in
the Quran first aloo ahladikriin kuntumla ta'alam
You have an opportunity to ask.
For the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he mentioned
that 2 individuals,
they will not learn.
1 of them being the shy one and
the other being the arrogant. So take advantage
of this opportunity
be the ninaid kareem.
We have some questions here already inshallah. I'm
gonna ask the sheikh. The first one being,
can you shed some light on the importance
of keeping good company?
My brothers and my sisters, I think this
is, like, pretty straightforward and it's pretty obvious.
If you hang around with bad people, you're
going to, what, walk away
with bad traits and whatever have you.
Right?
I'm gonna just switch this up a little
bit.
You know, some sisters have been asking me
throughout the different programs that I've been delivering,
what are some tips?
What are some tips
to help me wear my hijab
to dress a lot more modestly?
I know there are brothers as well. Right?
There are brothers as well
who are stuck in they say, I think,
I ain't got caught up in the sauce.
He got
stuck in the system.
What are some of the things that we
can do,
right?
I'm gonna mention 3 things InshaAllah Ta'ala.
Can the brothers at the back please, InshaAllahu
ta'ala quieten down a little bit?
Assalamualaikir.
Allah I love you brothers for the sake
of Allah. The fact that you guys came
out today,
right,
honestly means a lot.
I'm going to mention 3, inshaAllah ta'ala, points
that can help a sister put on a
hijab
or just to pick up good traits, my
brothers and my sisters, and it can apply
to the brothers as well, just put into
context.
The first one, my brothers and my sisters,
a sister can help herself by putting on
the hijab is by hanging around with people
that wear the hijab.
And brothers, likewise,
you want to do certain things, it becomes
a lot more easier when you're hanging around
with brothers that do that.
Let me ask you guys a question.
In the month of Ramadan, isn't it easier
for us to fast in the month of
Ramadan
than outside the month of Ramadan? Why?
Because everyone's doing it.
Have you guys heard of the man who
killed 99?
And then he ended up killing a 100
as well? You guys heard of it?
He ended up killing the monk because the
monk said there's no way for you to
be forgiven. So he went to a scholar,
a person of knowledge. He said to him,
yes, even after killing a 100 you can
be forgiven.
He said to him, Im talikh ilaardikadawakadah,
leave this city and go there.
There is a group of people there who
worship Allah, go and worship Allah with them.
Are you brothers and sisters with me? When
you're around them it will be a lot
more easier for you to leave off sins
and to be doing good deeds.
So the sister wants to wear the hijab,
a brother who wants to get out of
that system.
Right? This is what you're gonna have to
do. Number 2, and this is more specific
to our sisters, remember every time you're wearing
the hijab,
right, you are being rewarded for it,
and this is only exclusive to you there's
no equal rights here.
Right, every time you wear the hijab outside
you're getting rewarded for it my sister, be
proud.
Some sisters, right, some sisters
their moms don't allow them to wear it,
and they're asking me, how what can I
do? Please help me.
People want to practice Islam like that. We
get questions sometimes,
I want to pray inside of my house,
but my mom doesn't allow me. Can I
pray in the toilet?
Especially with rebirths, can I pray in the
toilet?
Right.
People are so desperate to practice their religion
while we are trying to run away my
brothers and my sisters,
right? Remember every commandment of Allah and every
prohibition
it is in your own best interest whether
you see it or not.
The system, my brothers and my sisters, it's
flawed,
right? Liberal values,
Live and let be, go and do as
you wish,
right.
And then the third point is, my brothers
and my sisters,
that which will help you a lot with
good company,
Right? And it will perhaps, insha Allah, impact
you spiritually
who you're following on Instagram.
My sister, you should not be following some
of these Instagram influences.
Sometimes we think just because Allah told us
to lower our gaze from the opposite agenda,
that's the only time we lower our gaze.
Right?
These sisters who may start off wearing the
hijab, doing makeup tutorials,
and then they end up taking off the
hijab that will impact your heart. The way
they dress, it will subconsciously creep in and
likewise, you brothers,
right?
Because of you washing these rappers,
right?
These
trappers,
these drug dealers online,
Wallahi Al Azim whether you realize it or
not, you begin to behave like them, talk
like them, walk like them,
right?
And even you start making your hair like
them. It creeps in subconsciously my brothers, whether
we realize it or not, And then you
see yourself, what, dragging your trousers?
That's what I can advise you with.
How long do you have Telesha?
Assalamualaikum.
The next question is, can you elaborate on
the importance of attending the masjid and not
just consuming content online?
My brothers and my sisters,
right?
The previous question was how to keep good
company?
You know, I was looking through my Instagram
as I was driving here, one of the
messages that I received was from my sister.
She said, wallahi,
something that I'm really really struggling with
is loneliness.
Right? I'm really really struggling with loneliness.
Where do you normally find good company, my
brothers and my sisters?
On the streets, Toronto downtown?
Is that where you find them?
In the malls, you find them in the
Masjid, my brothers and my sisters.
Are you guys with me?
Right. It is the Masjid where your Iman
goes up,
there's a narration.
If you
see somebody going back and forth to the
Masjid, then bear witness that they as Iman,
we take from it that your Iman goes
up.
Our Iman goes up in Ramadan, doesn't it?
Especially in Ramadan, right?
When you come for Taraweeh, you know the
Imam, you prayed behind them, your Imam goes
up. Sah,
right?
My brothers and my sisters, with this content
that we take online,
right, we're missing out on a lot of
barakah. We know the hadithi hurrayrah where the
angels, you know, they come around to you,
the barakah, so on and so forth.
And it's only,
I'll be honest with you guys, even students
of knowledge have struggled with this.
When you're just online just studying yourself,
you tend to have a burnout very quickly
because the Shaytan is closer to Wahid Minaslain.
He's closer to 1 than 2. But when
you come to the Masjid, you have brothers
that you're studying with,
doing the work together.
It's a lot more easier on the nafs.
Shaa Samatar, can we get some recitation now
that you're saying next to me?
Became very, very dear to my heart when
we was in the Medina.
Very, very lovely, sincere brother. I don't want
to praise him too much to his face.
And it brings me so much happiness that
we are saying together today.
I wanted him to read Quran, and I'm
sure you guys wanna hear it. He was
the imam, by the way, at Maghrib time,
but he doesn't want to. InshaAllah. We have
a lot of questions, Akhil, so we won't
InshaAllah. Sheikh Samatara will answer your questions after.
Right? You guys have a lot of questions,
you guys have Sheikh Ahmed as well.
Where's
Sayyid Yusuf Tahleel?
He's the OG of the Masjid.
Where is he?
Woganbanuya,
is that how they say it?
Masaman is good, right?
I'm learning.
What's the solution to the one who always
goes back to the old sins? Very good
question.
My brothers and sisters,
take the following from me, right?
I don't care
if you fall back into that sin a
100 times,
every single time
repent to Allah Azzawajal.
Wala alfa marrah as imam and nawurrahmatullahi
alaihi mentioned.
Every time
sincerely
you show remorse
and you show regret,
right?
You make the decision you're not gonna go
back to it and even if you end
up going back to you do the exact
same thing. It's only a matter of time.
Keep showing Allah Azza wa Jal that you
badly want to stop the sin and eventually
will stop it. Should I tell you guys
something else that you should do? Every time
you fall into that private sin,
right,
a lot of the time are these private
sins, adult content,
playing around with yourself
and other filthy sins that we are trapped
by.
Every time you go back to the addiction,
go into the bathroom,
make wudu,
come out and pray these 2 raka out
of a Tawbah,
every time.
Are Your Prophet's assistant with me? The Door
of Repentance open and every time you do
that just give it InshaAllah Ta'ala a period
of time and see why ends up happening.
Are you guys with me?
Where's the sisters' one? Is that the sisters'
one?
Equal rights, brothers and sisters. I don't know
who's ready though, so Where's the sisters' one?
Is it mixed?
We don't want our sisters upset.
How do you recommend seeking knowledge while doing
uni? My brothers and my sisters, I don't
believe in someone saying I don't have time.
I think that's a myth.
Right. It's a myth.
There's always enough time. If you have your
Apple, I don't know about Samsung,
right,
put the Samsung to the site,
check your screen time on your Apple phone,
how much you're spending on there.
I'm sure if we cut that down by
a fraction,
right, we'll cut that down by a fraction,
we will find enough time even if it
is, what, 15 or 20 minutes a day,
30 minutes a day. We learn a little
bit
and we keep just keeping we keep consistent
on it.
Does that make sense? It's always enough time.
Many youth struggle with substance abuse and addiction.
What are steps that they can take to
what are steps that they can take in
order to radically gain this from their lives?
What should parents,
friends, and the community do to support them?
I was actually gonna say that one thing
that we should do is try to support
our brothers and sisters who may be suffering
from these addictions.
Right, you can either support them or push
them further away.
Secondly, I advise you to get help, stop
being in denial, stop thinking that you might
be okay or you can maybe want defeat
to yourself.
Do you guys have rehab here?
Yeah.
Is that something nice here? Rehab? Yeah,
go to rehab.
But you have to further accept that you
have a problem,
right? It's one thing identifying the problem, it's
another finding the solution.
But you have to first accept. Some people
their ego gets in the way, no, I'm
not gonna do it.
Right? You've been tested, go to rehab.
Right. Go to rehab,
right.
And then as soon as you come out,
change your environment,
spend more time in the Masjid.
How do you deal with waswas, whispers of
the shaitan, when it happens on a daily
basis? Are they referring to Udu, Salah?
How do you deal with the whispers
of shaitan when it happens on a daily
basis?
You know, a lot of the time my
brothers and my sisters, this tends to happen
when you are alone.
I'm just basing it on the number of
questions that I receive
and the type of questions I receive.
Happens a lot when you are alone,
right? Are you guys with me?
Again, try to get away from this loneliness
by being around others that are doing good.
When you begin to feel as if the
Shaytan is about to get the better of
you, you have people that are already there
to remind you.
Are you brothers and sisters with me?
We have been told that sometimes you might
get whispers of the devil to get you
to disbelief,
Right. Tell yourself no and then seek refuge
in Allah
Inni laalamu kalimatannlawqalahaalathaha
ba anhu mayajid as the Prophet sallam said,
I know if something if one was to
say it, whatever he's feeling will disappear,
Right.
Seek refuge in Allah, try to change that
state that you're in. One thing I forgot
to mention earlier
with regards to these addictions that we keep
having, my brothers and my sisters,
I want you guys when you go home
to write down the sin
that you keep falling into,
right? And then also right next to it
that which is causing you to fall into
the sin,
Right. And then right next to it, what
can I do in order to remove these
causes
that are leading me to Rasil?
Are you Prophets and Sisters with me? You
want practicality? Do that.
My brothers and my sisters,
you know, there's a hadith
that really breaks my heart every time I
come across it.
Right?
Abdullah ibn Umar radhiallahu ta'ala and Umar
was going around the Kaaba, you know, the
companion that we mentioned earlier, the son of
Umar Bilhata'ala
As he was doing Tawaf around the Kaaba,
he saw a man
that was carrying his mother
on his shoulders. Please brothers, sisters, listen to
this point that I'm about to make.
He was carrying his mother
on his shoulders,
right. You know the mother that we make
cry?
The mother
that we think is backwards,
that we give a hard time to. He's
doing tawaf around the Kaaba,
he sees this man who's carrying his mother
and comes up to Abdulai ibn Umar and
he says,
have I
fulfilled the rights of my mother?
He said, la,
right, not even a single talka.
Not even a single right. You guys know
what a talka is?
Tawqa is
what? Right, a contraction.
Has anyone here ever seen a woman in
labor?
You know, when a woman is in labor,
right,
these pains that she begins to get every
couple of minutes, that is unbearable.
Maybe in 1 hour, she gets 30 to
25 or 25 to 30,
right,
of these pains.
He said not even a single one of
them.
You will only know when you see your
wife in labor, she's about to what? Give
birth to your son, what they have to
go through.
He said not even a single talka.
Walakinakahasanba
you've done great.
Walallaohujudziyaalalqaleelikathira.
Right.
Allah will reward you immensely for a little
that you do, He'll give you a lot.
Not even a single talaq, my brothers and
my sisters. Are you guys with me?
Right?
Everything that they've done for us and now
what? We grow old and we think we've
become something, we throw it back on their
faces. Right?
Remember
guys, what goes around comes around.
Like I said earlier, every single one of
you wants to get married and then they
want to have kids,
Right.
You want your treats to you want your
kids to treat you like that? Go do
as you wish.
Go do as you wish.
I have a lot of questions. Okay. This
is a good one. I hope you I
was wondering, is Tabaruj included in not wearing
makeup?
I
hope you wanna, thank you for your speech.
I was wondering is Tabaruj does it include
not wearing makeup? Jazak Allahu Khayron.
My brothers and my sisters,
the 2 pillars to modesty are the following.
Number 1,
right,
or should I say
the 2 pillars of the hijab are what?
The following, number 1,
you need to be dressing modestly. What does
modestly mean?
According to the Islamic
dress code.
Right?
Sheikh Al Albani, if you Google,
right, the conditions of hijab, Sheikh Al Albani,
one of the first things that comes up
is some of the conditions in what the
hijab entails.
Allah tells
us, Right? Take a look at that insha
Allahu Ta'ala. And the second my brothers and
my sisters is that one should not be
drawing attention to herself.
Allah says,
walayadribnabiarjulihinna
liurallamamayukfeenaminzeenatihin.
You shouldn't what?
Make noise with your feet, clatter your feet
on the ground
because this is going to what? Draw attention.
So anything that comes on the drawing attention
to yourself,
one needs to avoid altogether.
Of course, there are things that are natural.
If you're good looking, we can't take that
away from you.
Does that make sense? I can't tell you
now, I don't know,
rip your face apart, la.
There are certain things that you have no
control of.
However, putting on makeup, my brothers and my
sisters,
is one of the things that draws attention
to yourself.
It falls on the beautifying yourself, which is
what impermissible the moment you go outside. What's
my evidence for it? The Messenger said.
Laatamna'oo
ima Allahi masajirullah.
Don't stop,
right, your female folk from going to the
Masjid. I am not allowed to stop my
wife
or my daughter or my mother
from going to the Masjid. I'm not allowed
to do that. Allah prohibited me from doing
that.
If she wants to go and she seeks
permission, I have to allow her. However,
When they leave, they have to leave in
a state where they're what? Unbeautified,
unscented,
you know, wearing perfume.
Right?
Ayum Amra'atintaatarat,
Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is any woman who
puts on perfume and then she walks past
men to be smelt,
right? She's a zaniyah, she's a fornicatress, the
messenger salallahu alaihi wasalam said.
Does that make sense?
We've got quite a few questions pertaining to
the salah. What are some of the things
that I could do in order to help
myself pray the prayer?
Number 1, my brothers and my sisters, you
know the sins that we fall into,
right, it affects
our prayer.
The sins that we fall my brothers and
sisters into, right, it affects our prayer.
Ibn Qayyim in his Kitab I ghathatul lafan
v Masaidi Shaitan, where he talks about the
tricks and the traps
of the devil, right?
He brings the statement of Abdulai Mis'ud
where he says Al Gheena'o
Yum Bitul Nifaka Fil Kalb
Music,
right, it causes
hypocrisy to grow in your heart.
And then he explains how that happens.
From the points that he mentions my brothers
and my sisters is that
when one now wants to go out to
the prayer,
he begins to feel extremely lazy.
A lot of people
that struggle with their prayer, he says it's
perhaps maybe because of the music that they
listen to,
Right.
He mentioned that Abdulai Misra'ud that music causes
hypocrisy, right?
Allah tells about the Hypocrisy when they stand
up for the prayer, they stand up very
laxed and lazy manner.
Sins have a big impact in the acts
of worship that we do.
Does that make sense?
What will really help you with staying on
top of your prayers my brothers and my
sisters is that go and pray in the
Masjid for a set period of time.
Go to the Masjid, wait for the Salah,
Fajar, Duhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha.
What I maybe understood from one of the
questions is that because of,
right,
sometimes you forget, you're too busy,
Right. Structure your day around the prayers.
Get one of these alarms. I have an
alarm clock
that is more louder than the police sirens.
He's laughing,
right, because he's in the other room when
we're sleeping in the hotel,
and he wakes him
up. Police sirens is louder than that.
Set it up for the Salah times 15
minutes before.
Go to the Salah, pray in the Masjid,
get used to that routine for a set
period of time.
Psychologists say if you want to introduce a
new habit or get rid of a bad
one, you need between 29
to 40 days.
Do that
and Insha Allah Ta'ala it will become an
integral part of your life.
Download this app on your iPhone, I don't
know if it's available on Samsung.
Right?
It is called
Laud Alam,
Laud Alam.
Right,
download it
and InshaAllah Ta'ala,
right, it will set the house on fire.
Question that somebody is asking is how do
I advise my brother to stop making music?
How do I advise my siblings?
You know, Ibn Al Qaybrahim Talayhi says something
very powerful.
He says,
Al Ma'aseyitu baridul kufr,
the sin,
it is the first spark to disbelief,
it is the first spark to disbelief.
Many of us don't actually understand how sins
work, we think it's just a sin and
then I can just go back to my
life. No, it is the first spark to
disbelief kama annalqublatabeariduljima.
Just as you know the kiss, would you
agree that is the first spark to sexual
*?
Kiss leads straight away to sexual *. And
then he says,
right, kama'analugina
bariduzina.
Right? Just as
music, it leads to fornication, it leads to
a zina.
Are your provinces with me?
Even ibn al Josi, was it or ibn
al Qayyim? No. Ibn al Qayyim in his
kitab I ghatulafan,
he says,
How many women do we know? Because of
music,
she became from amongst the prostitutes.
Let's be honest here when we listen to
music, we listen to this grime or to
this drill and whatever have you, right, how
does it make us feel?
Doesn't it affect the way we think and
the way we behave?
Right.
So my advice with you be
to be gentle with your younger brothers and
siblings
and to maybe build a relationship,
right.
Sometimes what happens is the only time we
advise our siblings is when they've done something
wrong.
When only they've done something wrong, that's the
only time we're speaking to them.
Maybe take them out,
try to break that barrier of awkwardness,
right,
where you do things for one another, or
you are there at their service, take them
out to maybe what?
Ice cream parlor.
Or as these brothers have been saying, Tim
Hortons,
Allah, up until now I don't see what
you guys see in Tim Hortons.
But just taking them out, being nice to
them my brothers and my sisters,
right. When you show them that you care
about them, perhaps InshaAllah Ta'ala,
they'll begin to accept the advices.
Also make a lot of du'a for them
in your sujood that they move away from
this music,
because the hearts can be changed very, very
easily with a Dua'a, my brothers and my
sisters.
