They have become breeding grounds, these universities.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

They are filled with doubts.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

Kufu, shirkism, this, ism that.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

Your heart is being pierced

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

with doubts that come from every direction.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

The first step to victory

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

is a mass campaign that of dawah that

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

happens among the people, and the vast majority

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

of people begin to uphold their deed.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

Will start, but I wanna say something before

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

we start.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

My brothers and my sisters, I am extremely

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

humbled to see all of these growing faces

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

packing up the house of Allah

00:01:02 --> 00:01:02

Right?

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

I feel very blessed and honored to be

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

in your presence.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

Look at the way we packed out the

00:01:09 --> 00:01:09

house of Allah

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

Looking at the Masjid from the outside, I

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

would never think that it's this spacious.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

May Allah increase our brothers and sisters who

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

are part of the Masjid in spreading khair.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

Right?

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

You guys have all come out, my brothers

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

and my sisters.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

I would love for this to be the

00:01:27 --> 00:01:27

case

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

when there are classes being conducted in your

00:01:32 --> 00:01:32

localities.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:34

Right?

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

When there are classes being conducted in your

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

localities, I always love to mention this when

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

I give lectures in different countries,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

in different cities,

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

to raise awareness about your local masha'if.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

We shouldn't only be coming out my brothers

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

and my sisters when there's an international speaker.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless you all for your

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

wonderful intentions and your goodness that you engage

00:01:57 --> 00:01:57

in.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

You have a lot of masha'ikh

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

within your localities that you can benefit from

00:02:02 --> 00:02:02

immensely.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

Allah, these lectures, your imam, go sky high.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

However, my brothers and sisters, they will just

00:02:09 --> 00:02:09

come

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

shooting back down. If we don't keep it

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

afloat by constantly attending classes.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

Right? I have Sheikh Abu Bakr al Zuid

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

next to me. I know he's probably not

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

gonna like what I'm about to say. Oh,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

allahi, you brothers and sister are very very

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

fortunate to have someone from amongst you,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:27

graduated,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

and is still seeking knowledge. I benefit a

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

lot from him. Allahu al-'Azim. I don't say

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

this out of humility.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

Right? At tawadu albari dha Allah I mean

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

it.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

In front of me, a Sheikh Farhan.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:41

Right?

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

Who has been accompanying me everywhere I go.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

Out of his humility, he's been serving us.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

I should be serving him. And he should

00:02:48 --> 00:02:48

be here,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:49

right?

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

Delivering this class, and both of them are

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

better than me.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

Wallahi believe this.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

In terms of the etiquette, their love for

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

the deen, and so on and so forth.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

May Allah bless them both. And the masha'ikh,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

how many have met quite a few of

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

them?

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

Benefit from them my brothers and my

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

sisters. Right? Benefit from them as much as

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

you can.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

Knowledge isn't only for a couple of days

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

or a couple of sits, it's something that

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

continues.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

And as you guys will come to know,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

and you already know this, that a lot

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

of the challenges and the problems that we

00:03:20 --> 00:03:20

run into,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

right, can be prevented through bits and bobs

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

of knowledge.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

Right? May Allah bless you all, Jazakumullah khair

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

for

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

turning up in numbers

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

and packing up the house of Allah Subhanahu

00:03:33 --> 00:03:33

Wa Ta'ala.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

Ta'ala. And please make space for your brothers.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

Right?

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

As much as you can. We are at

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

maximum capacity.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

All praise and thanks belongs to Allah Subhanahu

00:04:01 --> 00:04:01

Wa Ta'ala.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

And may the peace and blessing of Allah

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

be upon his servant and final messenger, Muhammad

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

As to our followers, respected brothers and sisters

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

in Islam, Assalamu Alaikum

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

Now Sheikh Abutaimia thinks he'll get away with

00:04:20 --> 00:04:20

what he said.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

And, the reality is, I

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

mean it more than what he said,

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

that I have benefited a lot more than

00:04:29 --> 00:04:29

him,

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

even though he is younger than me by

00:04:32 --> 00:04:32

years.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

And the proof for this is that I

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

knew him before he knew me.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

By the Dalif. We ask Allah,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

to accept from us all. We ask Allah

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

to grant us goodness. And we ask

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

him to forgive our sins and our shortcomings.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:51

And indeed gathering in the houses of Allah

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

is a blessing that Allah

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

bestows upon the believers.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

As shaitan,

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

the first plan he has against the believers

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

is to keep them away from their deen.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

He tries to keep them away from seeking

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

knowledge.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

And if he cannot do that,

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

he does not want the believers and the

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

righteous to meet and gather together.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

Something like this now, this gathering.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

And if you picked up a friend of

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

yours and you came here,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

this gathering defeats a shaitan. And it defeats

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

his trickery, and it defeats his evil agenda

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

and plan against the believers and the righteous.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

Why? Because when the believers get together,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

they share knowledge.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

They remind one another about Allah Azza wa

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

Jal. They inspire and they motivate one another

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

upon the worship of Allah Azza wa Jal.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

And if you commit to something like this

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

regularly in your life, you will not be

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

confused about your deen and you will not

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

find yourself becoming misguided.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

When the believers separate,

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

when there is a great separation and a

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

great distance between us and we don't meet

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

regularly together

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

in the most beloved places, what happens?

00:06:06 --> 00:06:08

That's when sins are on the rise,

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

disobedience is on the rise, rebellion is on

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

the rise. And that's how a person eventually

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

leaves his deen altogether.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

So I just wanted to begin with that,

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

to say that we ask Allah

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

to continue to inspire within us and grant

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

us that strength that we attend these houses

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

and learn and meet up with each other.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

Allah there's

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

sometimes, Wallahi, I've heard this with my own

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

E. Sometimes

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

we invite someone to a program or a

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

charity fundraiser

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

and the brother responds and says, Nana, I

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

don't want to go there. I don't want

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

to see his head.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

I don't want to see his head. I

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

don't want to see him. That's why I'm

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

not going to Al Masjid.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

So he deprived himself of salat and knowledge

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

and brotherhood and all of this because he

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

doesn't want to see a couple of heads.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

Yet that very same person

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

will wish the day he dies that those

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

heads he didn't want to see had attended

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

his funeral and prayed with him,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

or prayed upon him. So have mercy on

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10

one another, love one another, and remove

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

this

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

animosity and hatred

00:07:13 --> 00:07:17

that you may have towards a believer, another

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

Bani Muslim. Right.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

I count my time from now. Everything I

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

said did not start the lecture. So we

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

begin now insha Allahu ta'ala.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

What I wanted to share with you in

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

a few minutes was

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

something related

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

to steps to victory.

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

What are the steps that the young Muslim,

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

the believers are supposed to do in order

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

to move forward

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

in this victory that Allah

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

promised us.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

And of course, considering

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

the global events that we are all witnessing

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

and seeing with our own eyes,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:53

the young Muslim,

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

the true believer, committed believer is hurt.

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

He's hurt from the inside and he's frustrated

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

and he doesn't know what to do.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

Some have wild plans in their minds. Some

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

don't want to do anything.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

Some are just over the entire thing.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

So is there any guidance in the Quran

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

in the word of Allah azza wa jal

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

that guides us out of this despair and

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

hopelessness that has settled in most of us?

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

Most definitely

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

there has to be something in the word

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

of Allah azza wa jal that guides us

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

out of this

00:08:27 --> 00:08:28

and actually a road

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

that at the end of it is victory.

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

And I'll share with you a couple of

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

steps according to my time and what I

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

have. And I want you to do so

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

through the story of Talut and Jalut.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

I don't know how many of you are

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

familiar with Talut and Jalut, but by the

00:08:47 --> 00:08:48

end you'll get an ID.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

The story of Talut and Jalut comes towards

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

the end of Surat Al Baqarah.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

And believe it or not, if it's a

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

story mentioned in the Quran,

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

that means the first people that were motivated

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

and inspired by it would be Nabi

00:09:04 --> 00:09:04

and the companions.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

Can you imagine? An Nabi

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

listening and benefiting

00:09:11 --> 00:09:14

so much from this story, and the Sahaba

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

benefiting so much from this story that this

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

story would be a reason for their victory

00:09:21 --> 00:09:22

and their defeat against the enemy.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

Incredible stuff. If it was enough for them,

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

it is way more enough for us.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

So we'll begin with this story. Allah says,

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

Allah Azzawajal, he said, did you receive the

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

story?

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

Did you receive the information and pay attention

00:09:46 --> 00:09:46

to the chiefs

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

and the elite of Bani Israel

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

when they walked up to a prophet of

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

theirs and they said to this prophet, can

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

you appoint for us a king because we

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

want to do Al Jihad fisabilillah

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

against the enemy that has occupied our land.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

That's a story brothers and sisters and it

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

is in the Quran.

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

Just before this so you can understand where

00:10:10 --> 00:10:11

all this is happening,

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

Musa

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

and Bani Israel

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

are finally saved from Firaun and his army.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

So Firaoun and the army, they drown

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

and Bani Israel and Musa alaihis salam have

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

made it to the other side.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

When they made it to the other side,

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

they began to walk until Allah Azawajal's

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

commandment came down upon Musa

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

commanding him

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

to enter Al Ardu Muqaddesa,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

the Holy Land, the blessed land

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

of Jerusalem.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

It was a clear instruction.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:46

Musa

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

said to the people, look, it's very easy.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

Allah is telling us enter. If we enter,

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

we're going to defeat whoever was in there,

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

which was al Jabbarin.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

A tyrannical mob was inside. Oh, we just

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

got to enter the gates and we'll take

00:11:00 --> 00:11:00

it.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

So Bani Israel, they said to the prophet

00:11:03 --> 00:11:03

Musa

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09

will not enter until they leave.

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

Anyway, they said we will not enter. They

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

sat. They said, listen

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

Musa

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

you and your Lord can go and fight

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

by yourself. We're sitting here.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

You know what happened as a result?

00:11:21 --> 00:11:21

Allah

00:11:22 --> 00:11:24

deprived them of the blessed land of Jerusalem

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

for 40 years.

00:11:27 --> 00:11:28

Let me say something.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

Disobeying Allah's command

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

deprived the believers from the blessed land of

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

Jerusalem.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

Disobeying the command of Allah

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

deprived them from the blessed land of Jerusalem.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

And one more time,

00:11:44 --> 00:11:44

the disobedience

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

to the commandment of Allah

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

deprived the believers from the blessed land of

00:11:50 --> 00:11:50

Jerusalem.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

40 years, during that 40 years, Musa

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

died, Harun

00:11:56 --> 00:11:56

died.

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00

And the generation that was reeds within that

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

40 years of being lost in the desert

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

going in circles

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

was a pure generation raised upon the hands

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

of Yusha ibn Noon, who was the young

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

boy that accompanied Musa

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

in his journeys and travels.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:16

They were raised upon

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

the pure teachings of a Tawrah.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

They were raised upon a Tawhid.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:23

They were raised upon obedience

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

because

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

they didn't see anyone. They didn't mix in

00:12:28 --> 00:12:28

with anyone.

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

No fabricated ideology entered into that community.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

No one from outside with a weed fought

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

or ideology came in and spread poison and

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

corruption among them.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

They were purely

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

bred and raised upon

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

the pure teachings of Musa

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

alaihis salam that was inna atawhid,

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

wa taqwa and obedience of Allah.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

So a generation like this

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

after 40 years

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

deserved victory.

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

So under the leadership of Yusha'ib An Noon,

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02

they began to fight Al Jabbarim that was

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

sitting in the occupied land today.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

They began to fight them.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

They fought them for a couple of days

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

until it was a Friday.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

When Friday came and the sun is setting,

00:13:12 --> 00:13:13

there's a problem

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

because if the sun sets, we begin Saturday

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

and Bani Israel in their law, it's not

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

allowed to work or fight or any action

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

on a Saturday. They have to sit and

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

rest.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

So Yusha Abin Noon looked at the sun

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

and he said, antima murah wa ana ma

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

mur. You are commanded to set and I'm

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

commanded to continue to fight. And if this

00:13:35 --> 00:13:35

sun sets,

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

we're in deep trouble because we got to

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

stop the war. We're almost there. And perhaps

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

we'll even be defeated if we stopped one

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44

day.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

So

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

Nabi said, when hadith is mentioned in Sahih

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

al Bukhari,

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

that the son,

00:13:51 --> 00:13:51

Allah

00:13:51 --> 00:13:55

did something unique to Yusha. And this incident

00:13:55 --> 00:13:56

will never ever be repeated.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:57

Afterwards,

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

Allah held the sun in its position for

00:14:01 --> 00:14:01

an hour.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

It did not move.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

And they completed and finished that war. And

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

they declared victory against Al Jabbarin.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

And they entered the blessed land of Jerusalem

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

afterwards the sunset.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:18

Many years go by, Ubani Israel are committed

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

and strong upon the deen and obedience,

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

whatever you

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

need. Many years go by and their commitment

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

upon a deen begins to relax.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

It weakens.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

Shirk spreads among them.

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

Innovation

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

spread among them.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:38

A sunnah and the pure teachings begins to

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

die and deteriorate slowly slowly.

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

And the way of Allah Azza wa Jal

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

with any nation, once they lose holding their

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

deen, they no longer deserve victory.

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

So Allah Azzawajal would send upon Bani Israel,

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

who are the believers at the time,

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

a tyrannical mob

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

from Baabil, which is known as Iraq today.

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

They enter and they destroy them altogether.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

They took their children as prisoners of war,

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

and the men and the women were forced

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

to flee and leave the blessed land of

00:15:14 --> 00:15:15

of Jerusalem.

00:15:16 --> 00:15:17

They ended up somewhere in what is known

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

today as Jordan.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

Now in this story of Talut al Jalut,

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

Allah

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

said,

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

Did you not receive the news

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

of the chiefs of Bani Israel

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

that came to a prophet of theirs

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

asking him

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

that Allah appoint for them a king that

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

would lead them back into the holy land

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

declaring Al Jihad upon whoever was in there.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

That's where we are in the story.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

Now there's a prophet many years go by.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

The prophet that they will come to, his

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

name is Samuael,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

Samuam

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

But I want you to pay attention.

00:15:55 --> 00:15:56

There's

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

words here that will point to and will

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

reflect over

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

and they will be the steps to victory.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

Pay attention now.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

Allah said

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

the Chiefs of Bani Israel

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

came to a prophet of theirs

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

and they asked him,

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

can you appoint

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

a king for us so that we can

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

fight in the way of Allah?

00:16:18 --> 00:16:21

The first step to victory is to reflect

00:16:21 --> 00:16:24

over the word Al Mala, the Chiefs,

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

the elite.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

Usually in the Quran,

00:16:28 --> 00:16:29

Al Mala

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

are the people that are against their prophets.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

Al Mala,

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

they kill the prophets.

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

They degrade the prophets.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

And they insult and they degrade their prophets.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

That's what the malah

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

does. Allah would say,

00:16:48 --> 00:16:48

The chiefs

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

of the nation that had rebelled.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

That disbelieved.

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

But in this surah, in this passage, there's

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

something unique about the malah.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

Al malah are your rich and famous people.

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

Al malah

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

of today, for example, they're the likes of

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

Elon Musk. They're the likes of Bill Gates.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

They're the likes of Trump and so on.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

These are the Mallah of today.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

Can you understand with me that Al Mallah

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

went to a Prophet

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

and said to him appoint a king, we

00:17:22 --> 00:17:23

want to fight Faisabilillah.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

What does that mean?

00:17:25 --> 00:17:29

If the malah became committed upon their deen

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

so much so that they're not just willing

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

to pray and fast, they've already done that.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

They are now willing to establish

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

the peak of Al Islam and Jihadu fisabilillah.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

So what does that tell you about everyone

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

underneath them? Because the first people that accept

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

the message of a prophet are the poor

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

and the weak.

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

So if Al Malah have accepted Al Islam,

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

that means

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

the entire community,

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

the majority

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

of them were steadfast

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

holding upon their deen.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

That's the first step

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

in attaining victory.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

They were upholding their deen.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:12

Today,

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

there is a wrong

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

misunderstanding

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

among many of the young youth.

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

This step they want to ignore.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

They don't want this step. This step seems

00:18:25 --> 00:18:26

to be very difficult.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

How are we going to get everyone to

00:18:29 --> 00:18:29

accept Islam

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

and get everyone committed and so on?

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

Because you see the idea is if Al

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

Mallah embraced

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

and upheld adeen,

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

what does that mean? What does it mean?

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

It means just before this, there was a

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

mass campaign of dawah.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

Dawah was raging in that community.

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

The Dua'at, the Khubaba'at,

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

the Masayikh, the scholars, all of them were

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

active.

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

They were delivering the message in every corner

00:18:58 --> 00:19:00

until the malah heard it,

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

until the malah heard the message and accepted.

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

And they become so righteous, they want the

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

peak of Islam established among them.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

The problem with a lot of the youth

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

today

00:19:14 --> 00:19:15

is that they do this.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

They will accuse Al Bashayikh,

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

the people of knowledge and the scholars.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

Look at the shirk. He's still sitting on

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

the chair teaching, thinking that's a road to

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

victory.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:28

Don't you hear that

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

from some of us we talk like this?

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

Look at these shirk wasting their time

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

sitting and teaching us.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

Wahad al Aalam sitting,

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

wasting his time talking about wiping off the

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

socks and speaking about the periods of women.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

Thinking that if we ignore all these chapters

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

in Islam, somehow Allah will give us victory.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

That is a misunderstanding

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

corrected.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

The first step to victory

00:19:57 --> 00:19:57

is a mass campaign

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

of dawah that happens among the people and

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

the vast majority of people begin to uphold

00:20:02 --> 00:20:03

their deen.

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

Obedience to Allah

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

Sin among them becomes very little.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

The rebellious and the sinners

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

become worried and scared and run away and

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

do their sin in private.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

Today, today in the situation we're in,

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

the one that does the sin,

00:20:21 --> 00:20:22

it's so public

00:20:23 --> 00:20:24

that even if a guy

00:20:24 --> 00:20:27

wanted to speak about a sin and condemn

00:20:27 --> 00:20:29

it, he's worried. What are they going to

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

say about me? They will cancel me. What

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

criticism will I get? You know what? Forget

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

it.

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

Shufu, the level has reached

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

where as

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

a teacher,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

as a person that is delivering the message

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

of Allah, I'm worried.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

Should I condemn

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

this sin among them or just leave it

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

bro? Just leave it so we can bring

00:20:51 --> 00:20:52

them all in.

00:20:53 --> 00:20:54

If the masheikh

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

and the people of knowledge have reached this

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

state,

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

that's an indication that there is a lot

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

of corruption against amongst

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

us. And that needs to be resolved.

00:21:05 --> 00:21:08

We need to understand that commitment upon the

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

deal of Allah is the first matter on

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

the road to victory.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

So we need to

00:21:14 --> 00:21:14

honor

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

these efforts and we ourselves

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

take what we benefit from a lecture and

00:21:20 --> 00:21:21

spread it.

00:21:21 --> 00:21:23

Spread the teachings of Allah

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

in every corner of the globe.

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

Start with yourself and your family and everyone

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

you know

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

until the message reaches the elite, those above

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

us.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

And we do that. And that's the first

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

step.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

People today think that if the evil evil

00:21:40 --> 00:21:40

was eliminated,

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

then this is how we attain victory.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

Somehow the evil should eliminate itself.

00:21:48 --> 00:21:50

Somehow the evil should just pack up and

00:21:50 --> 00:21:50

go somewhere.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:54

What happens then? By Allah I asked you,

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

if the evil around the globe packed up

00:21:57 --> 00:21:57

and left

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

what belongs to us, imagine that happened. What

00:22:00 --> 00:22:01

do you think is going to happen the

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

next day? Do you think everyone's going to

00:22:03 --> 00:22:06

become righteous all of a sudden? Everyone becomes

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

obedient to Allah

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

The first step

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

is commitment upon a deen. The second thing

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

is this,

00:22:16 --> 00:22:18

this malah, the elite, they came to a

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

prophet of theirs

00:22:21 --> 00:22:22

and asked him

00:22:22 --> 00:22:25

to appoint for them a king so that

00:22:25 --> 00:22:26

they can fight.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

The second

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

step in the road to victory

00:22:30 --> 00:22:31

is to respect

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

the scholars and the people of knowledge among

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

you.

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

They respected the prophet.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:40

They honored the prophet.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

They went to him

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

for decisions.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

They went to him for knowledge and advice

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

on the global situation they were facing.

00:22:50 --> 00:22:50

Today,

00:22:52 --> 00:22:53

many of our young youth

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

are completely opposite to that, I. E. Statements.

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

People cursing profit. Keep people cursing

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

the people of knowledge among them.

00:23:04 --> 00:23:07

People slandering the people of knowledge and the

00:23:07 --> 00:23:07

scholars

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

amongst them,

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

people slandering and cursing them, accusing them of

00:23:12 --> 00:23:13

all sorts.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

And there is no victory

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

if among us are not respected.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:21

Allah,

00:23:22 --> 00:23:23

he says,

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

are those who have taqwa and piety to

00:23:30 --> 00:23:30

Allah,

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

If they are not respected,

00:23:33 --> 00:23:33

Allah

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

he says

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

Whoever

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

whoever declares

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

war and an enmity

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

to a Wali of Allah, to a friend

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

of Allah, like Al Ulamah and the people

00:23:48 --> 00:23:48

of knowledge,

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

then Allah has declared war against them. Where

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

is victory going to come? If war has

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

been declared against us by Allah

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

for not respecting and honoring our ulama.

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

The scholar

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

and the people of knowledge among the people

00:24:13 --> 00:24:16

are extremely important. They are the bedrock of

00:24:16 --> 00:24:16

society.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

Wallahi, they are the bedrock of society.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

And for Bayl ibn Ayyab, he said Islam

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

He said, the people, the bearers of the

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

Quran, those who carry the Quran and the

00:24:30 --> 00:24:30

knowledge,

00:24:31 --> 00:24:35

they are similar to the flag bearer on

00:24:35 --> 00:24:35

the battlefield.

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

You know what that means?

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

You know what that means? You know the

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

flag bearer

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

on the battlefield when the Muslim commander is

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

holding the flag,

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

the believers are fighting. They're all comfortable because

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

the flags up. If the flags up, things

00:24:48 --> 00:24:49

are good.

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

Once there becomes disunity in the lines,

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

chaos among the believers,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

you know what they do? The believers on

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

a battlefield, they will all run towards where

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

the flag is.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

They will run to the flag

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

and they will regroup at the flag. And

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

then they dispersed once again. They built their

00:25:06 --> 00:25:07

strength at the flag.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

When Al Fudayl ibn Ayad said

00:25:11 --> 00:25:12

that the scholar,

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

the people of knowledge, the people of Quran,

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

they are the flag bearers,

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

meaning in society

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

among us when there is filth and corruption

00:25:23 --> 00:25:24

and transgression

00:25:24 --> 00:25:24

and injustice,

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28

people are supposed to run to their scholars

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

and their people of knowledge.

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

They're supposed to regroup at their feet.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

They're supposed to take their advice and instruction

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

from them. Afterwards, they disperse.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

How can we attain victory

00:25:42 --> 00:25:43

if Hamid al Quran,

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

the one who's holding this knowledge, the scholar

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

and the people of knowledge among us

00:25:50 --> 00:25:50

ashamed

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

and disrespected

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

and accused of all sorts of matters. Yes,

00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

I'm not telling you every scholar and every

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

person of knowledge is an angel. We're not

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

saying that. And we know among the scholars

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

and the people of knowledge, there are misguided

00:26:05 --> 00:26:05

individuals

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

that want harm and evil for you.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

But don't you dare fall into that camp

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

that generalizes and puts every shah under the

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

bus

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

and that they're all no good

00:26:17 --> 00:26:18

and that they're all thieves

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

and that they're all here and we're not.

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

And they're taking our money.

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

They take our time.

00:26:25 --> 00:26:26

We don't benefit.

00:26:26 --> 00:26:28

The Ummah is in its position because of

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

them and them and them.

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

This is a community

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

that does not respect their scholar. There is

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

no zeal victory for them. So we need

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

to shape up this understanding

00:26:40 --> 00:26:41

and understand perfectly,

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

clearly

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

that the second matter that is discussed,

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

unless

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

the believers

00:26:49 --> 00:26:49

respect

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

the people of knowledge among them,

00:26:52 --> 00:26:53

there is no victory.

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

Then they said to him,

00:27:01 --> 00:27:02

appoint for us a king

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

so that we can fight in the cause

00:27:05 --> 00:27:05

of Allah.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

Meaning, the 3rd step in the road to

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

victory for the believers to understand

00:27:13 --> 00:27:14

what unity is.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

Appoint for us one king.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

We want to unite under him and then

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

establish the fighting fisavilillah.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:23

Because

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

if the matter is left for each and

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

every single one of us to decide whatever

00:27:28 --> 00:27:28

you like,

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

we have over a 1000000 IDs.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

Every single person will have his own ID,

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

his own plan, his own agenda, or you

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

get to nothing.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:40

The believers must unite just like the disbelievers

00:27:40 --> 00:27:40

unite.

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

Once they unite, their attack is solid.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

When the believers unite under the leadership of

00:27:46 --> 00:27:47

1 man

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

that will lead them into that

00:27:52 --> 00:27:52

situation

00:27:53 --> 00:27:54

and that path,

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

that would be a step towards victory.

00:28:00 --> 00:28:03

And why appoint for us a king? Because

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

they realize and they recognize

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

fighting is

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

not allowed without permission.

00:28:09 --> 00:28:12

The offensive fighting, it is not allowed without

00:28:12 --> 00:28:12

permission.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:16

So appoint for us a king who will

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

give us permission to do so.

00:28:20 --> 00:28:21

And this is a step.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

Many of the youth have a problem in

00:28:24 --> 00:28:24

their mind

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

thinking I can do what I want whenever

00:28:27 --> 00:28:28

I want.

00:28:29 --> 00:28:30

And if you were to look at Sirat

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

Nabi

00:28:32 --> 00:28:35

you'll find the individuals in that Sira would

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

walk up to Nabi give me permission that

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

I do such and such.

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

Give us permission. A man would come. He

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

says, You Rasool Allah, I want to go

00:28:43 --> 00:28:44

with you.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

Nabi says, Are your parents alive? He says,

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

yes. He goes back. Go back and fight

00:28:50 --> 00:28:51

for their cause.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

And this man is deprived of al Jihad

00:28:55 --> 00:28:56

fee savehilillah.

00:28:57 --> 00:29:00

He doesn't complain. He goes because this requires

00:29:01 --> 00:29:01

permission.

00:29:02 --> 00:29:03

No permission,

00:29:03 --> 00:29:05

no going. You may think it's a noble

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

cause for yourself, but it will not be.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

This is what Allah is teaching us.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:15

The 4th matter,

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

for the cause of Allah is in sincerity.

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

There must be sincerity.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:23

That's the 4th

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

matter on the road towards victory.

00:29:27 --> 00:29:29

Sincerity for Omar's

00:29:29 --> 00:29:30

sake.

00:29:31 --> 00:29:33

We don't we're not interested in the appreciation

00:29:33 --> 00:29:35

or in the acceptance of others.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

Allah Asojal then he says,

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

The prophet says to them, are you people

00:29:44 --> 00:29:45

sure?

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

Perhaps

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

if I did request this from Allah,

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

that he appoint a king for you and

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

you're on your way to the holy land.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:55

Perhaps if I do that, you people may

00:29:55 --> 00:29:57

back up. You people may back out and

00:29:57 --> 00:29:58

run away.

00:29:59 --> 00:29:59

He sensed

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

that his community is full of talk.

00:30:02 --> 00:30:05

He sensed it. So he asked them this.

00:30:05 --> 00:30:05

They said,

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

They said to him, no, how can we

00:30:12 --> 00:30:13

back out?

00:30:13 --> 00:30:14

That's our land.

00:30:15 --> 00:30:18

Our children have been taken, of course,

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

alongside Fi Sabi lillah, we've got a lot

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

to fight for. It's our land. It's our

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

people. We've got every reason to go. You

00:30:25 --> 00:30:26

Allah Bismillah, let's do

00:30:27 --> 00:30:27

it. Okay.

00:30:30 --> 00:30:32

The Prophet comes back to them and says

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

to them, indeed Allah, He's just about to

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

appoint a king for you. And this matter

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

that you wanted has been legislated. You know

00:30:38 --> 00:30:39

what happened?

00:30:42 --> 00:30:43

All of them ran away,

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

except a few.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:47

The community was all talk.

00:30:48 --> 00:30:49

When

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

when the real time came,

00:30:51 --> 00:30:54

the community was all talk.

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

And from now on, Allah

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

will begin to filter out until he gets

00:31:00 --> 00:31:01

the pure 314

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

believers that will stand against Jalut and eventually

00:31:04 --> 00:31:06

destroy him. And I'm going to end with

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

one final point

00:31:08 --> 00:31:10

since my time is coming up.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

Afterwards, of course, Barut was appointed as a

00:31:13 --> 00:31:13

king.

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

Osama bin mentioned they were 800,000

00:31:17 --> 00:31:18

at the beginning.

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

When they turned away,

00:31:20 --> 00:31:23

they turned they ended up 8,000.

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

Then some of them did not agree for

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

Talut to be a king. So they said,

00:31:28 --> 00:31:29

we didn't accept his leadership.

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

We didn't accept his leadership.

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

The prophet tried to convince them that this

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

is what Allah chose for you. You gotta

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

take it. They didn't accept it because he

00:31:38 --> 00:31:40

wasn't a person of money and fame. They

00:31:40 --> 00:31:43

don't want him. So from the 8,000,

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

it was also reduced to 800.

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

Final 800,

00:31:48 --> 00:31:49

they move on with Barut

00:31:50 --> 00:31:52

and they're about to enter the holy lands.

00:31:53 --> 00:31:54

So as they're going,

00:31:56 --> 00:31:59

Barut, the king stops them. This is just

00:31:59 --> 00:32:02

a step before victory. And he gathers them

00:32:02 --> 00:32:03

all. He says to them,

00:32:05 --> 00:32:06

listen. He says to them,

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

He said to them, listen,

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

Allah is going to test us with a

00:32:13 --> 00:32:14

river now.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

As we're on our way, 800 of us

00:32:17 --> 00:32:18

towards

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

Baytul Maqdis,

00:32:19 --> 00:32:22

and we have achieved all the steps to

00:32:22 --> 00:32:23

victory, we're just moments away.

00:32:24 --> 00:32:25

Allah

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

has now decreed that he's going to test

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

us all. What What is he going to

00:32:29 --> 00:32:30

test us with? A river.

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

A river is going to come on the

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

way. And you know, when you've been traveling

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

for so long and you see a river,

00:32:37 --> 00:32:38

beautiful water,

00:32:38 --> 00:32:41

pure spring water, cold

00:32:41 --> 00:32:44

And the throat is dry and the person

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

is hungry and thirsty. What do you do?

00:32:47 --> 00:32:48

You rush to this water and you begin

00:32:48 --> 00:32:49

to drink and drink.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

Insha'Allah, we first drink.

00:32:54 --> 00:32:56

Big fitna, the water becomes in Ramadan, right?

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

That's what's happening now. This river is going

00:32:58 --> 00:32:59

to be a huge fitna.

00:33:00 --> 00:33:01

Watch this.

00:33:03 --> 00:33:04

Then he gave him the conditions. He said,

00:33:04 --> 00:33:05

listen,

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

whoever drinks from it

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

will not qualify to be with me. He's

00:33:10 --> 00:33:11

going to go back.

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

Such a person will not qualify.

00:33:14 --> 00:33:17

And if you cannot hold yourself and resist

00:33:17 --> 00:33:19

this desire and urge to drink,

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

Then Allah has given you permission to drink

00:33:21 --> 00:33:23

1 handful only.

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

That's it. So they walk. They get to

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

the water. What happens?

00:33:32 --> 00:33:33

All of them drink.

00:33:35 --> 00:33:36

Except a few.

00:33:37 --> 00:33:38

And this few,

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

he mentions that they were the same number

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

as the believers within the Risa in the

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

barrel of Badr.

00:33:47 --> 00:33:48

314.

00:33:49 --> 00:33:50

We went from 800,000

00:33:51 --> 00:33:51

to 314

00:33:52 --> 00:33:53

pure believers.

00:33:54 --> 00:33:55

We don't need to change all of us.

00:33:55 --> 00:33:57

We need to change some of us in

00:33:57 --> 00:33:59

order to attain this victory. Listen to what

00:33:59 --> 00:34:02

happens. But even those who did not drink

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

or those that made it 314

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

are 2 groups.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:10

Believe it or not, some drank one handful,

00:34:11 --> 00:34:11

and the others

00:34:12 --> 00:34:13

didn't drink anything.

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

They drank they were able to hold themselves

00:34:17 --> 00:34:19

at a moment of desire. Why was this

00:34:19 --> 00:34:19

test there?

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

Because if you can't hold yourself from a

00:34:22 --> 00:34:23

bit of water that is in front of

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

you, how are you gonna face Jerud?

00:34:25 --> 00:34:28

If you can't control if we can't control

00:34:28 --> 00:34:30

our desire from the temptations of this worldly

00:34:30 --> 00:34:31

life, what

00:34:32 --> 00:34:32

what

00:34:32 --> 00:34:34

what victory are you dreaming of?

00:34:35 --> 00:34:37

What victory are we dreaming of? This is

00:34:37 --> 00:34:39

mine. And I give you this misconception

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

among a lot of the youth. You know,

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

when we share the quote of

00:34:43 --> 00:34:46

and we say that Ibn Qayyim Rahimahullah said

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

Jihad and nafs is more important than jihad

00:34:48 --> 00:34:50

and adu. He said that the jihad of

00:34:50 --> 00:34:53

the nafs is more important than the jihad

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

of the enemy. What does the young boy

00:34:55 --> 00:34:55

say?

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

Sell out, sell out. Look at us teaching

00:34:59 --> 00:35:01

us the Jihad and nafs and the Jihad

00:35:01 --> 00:35:02

of the Addu brother. We want to fight

00:35:02 --> 00:35:04

the Jihad of the brother, the Addu.

00:35:04 --> 00:35:06

We want to fight the enemy. What is

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

he talking about? Jihad and nafs?

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

They didn't understand where this concept comes from.

00:35:11 --> 00:35:12

This is where it came from. It came

00:35:12 --> 00:35:13

from this area.

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

If you couldn't control

00:35:16 --> 00:35:17

and resist

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

just a little bit of water in front

00:35:20 --> 00:35:21

of you,

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

how are you prepared to give your life?

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

So he believer must not fool himself.

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

And you know what happens, SubhanAllah?

00:35:29 --> 00:35:32

Those who drank more than one handful,

00:35:32 --> 00:35:34

Abin al Qayyim Raheem,

00:35:34 --> 00:35:35

Abin Abbas

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

said their thirst was not quenched.

00:35:39 --> 00:35:40

They remained thirsty.

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

Those that drank 1 handful,

00:35:43 --> 00:35:44

they were quenched.

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

They did not feel thirsty afterwards.

00:35:47 --> 00:35:50

You know why? Because Al Haram does not

00:35:50 --> 00:35:50

satisfy.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

Well, halal,

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

a little bit of it is enough.

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

And if you look at the situation of

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

people that do haram, are they ever satisfied

00:36:00 --> 00:36:01

and happy?

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

They are not. Look at the people that

00:36:03 --> 00:36:04

sit in the bars

00:36:05 --> 00:36:06

and in the pubs.

00:36:06 --> 00:36:08

There's 10 cups of

00:36:09 --> 00:36:10

of alcohol in front of him, and he's

00:36:10 --> 00:36:11

still thirsty.

00:36:13 --> 00:36:15

There's not one cup. There's 10 cups in

00:36:15 --> 00:36:16

front of there. They bring it in, in

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

the barrels they bring it. Not in little

00:36:18 --> 00:36:20

hard up, in barrels they bring it.

00:36:21 --> 00:36:23

Why? Because that haram doesn't satisfy.

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

It will not satisfy. It won't fill you.

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

Look at the one who commits a zina,

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

ask Allah to save us.

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

You think a person tries a zina once

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

and never again? That would be someone blessed

00:36:35 --> 00:36:36

by Allah

00:36:36 --> 00:36:38

and perhaps he makes a Tawbah. But the

00:36:38 --> 00:36:38

vast majority,

00:36:39 --> 00:36:41

what do they call it? They call it

00:36:41 --> 00:36:41

the body

00:36:42 --> 00:36:43

count. How much body count?

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

Hazrat Haram is all about that.

00:36:48 --> 00:36:51

You do not become satisfied from haram.

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

The one who makes money in haram,

00:36:54 --> 00:36:57

wallahi, he'll be sitting on 1,000,000 and he's

00:36:57 --> 00:36:58

still not content.

00:36:59 --> 00:37:01

Meanwhile, look at the one who, like they

00:37:01 --> 00:37:02

brought us a bottle of water.

00:37:03 --> 00:37:05

Like just a little bit from top was

00:37:05 --> 00:37:06

enough. Al halal satisfies.

00:37:07 --> 00:37:10

The one who's earning a halal income, alhamdulillah,

00:37:10 --> 00:37:11

is satisfied.

00:37:12 --> 00:37:13

That is the reality.

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

The one who marries 1, tabaqi, if one

00:37:15 --> 00:37:17

is not enough, up to 4 is enough.

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

And you'll be satisfied.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:20

You won't look for more.

00:37:21 --> 00:37:23

You understand? Yeah, I mean what all this

00:37:23 --> 00:37:25

is about is that if you cannot

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

control your desire from Al Haram,

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

no victory is on the road.

00:37:31 --> 00:37:32

No victory is on the road.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:33

Halt.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:36

Restrain yourself especially when it comes to Al

00:37:36 --> 00:37:36

Haram.

00:37:37 --> 00:37:40

And with Al Mubah, the Permissal,

00:37:40 --> 00:37:41

take as much as you need from it

00:37:41 --> 00:37:44

for your dunya. And don't forget Allah, don't

00:37:44 --> 00:37:45

forget your responsibilities,

00:37:46 --> 00:37:47

don't forget your obligations.

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

Afterwards,

00:37:48 --> 00:37:49

314

00:37:49 --> 00:37:51

people were able to enter

00:37:51 --> 00:37:52

Al Masjid.

00:37:53 --> 00:37:55

Dawud alaihis salam was among them. He killed

00:37:55 --> 00:37:56

Jalut, and Allah

00:37:57 --> 00:37:59

made him a prophet, and he gave him

00:37:59 --> 00:38:00

kingdom. And the believers

00:38:00 --> 00:38:03

took Masjid al Aqsa, the holy land of

00:38:03 --> 00:38:07

Jerusalem, for many years after that. That's something

00:38:07 --> 00:38:09

brief. A few points that I had and

00:38:09 --> 00:38:11

I was able to share with you in

00:38:11 --> 00:38:12

a few minutes. I ask Allah Azzawajal to

00:38:12 --> 00:38:14

grant us goodness and acceptance.

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

Please quieten down,

00:38:42 --> 00:38:43

brothers.

00:38:44 --> 00:38:45

Brothers and sisters, please quieten down.

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

Please, everyone, sit down.

00:38:53 --> 00:38:54

Honestly, you guys have done amazing.

00:38:55 --> 00:38:57

I'm going to keep it short, Inshallah.

00:38:58 --> 00:39:00

And then we would have our panel discussion

00:39:00 --> 00:39:01

with the

00:39:10 --> 00:39:12

Sheikh. My beloved brothers and sisters,

00:39:12 --> 00:39:15

I want to speak about a different type

00:39:15 --> 00:39:17

of trick that the devil has up his

00:39:17 --> 00:39:18

sleeve.

00:39:19 --> 00:39:21

Taken from Surah Al Araf, which has a

00:39:21 --> 00:39:23

very special relationship with

00:39:24 --> 00:39:26

the sins that an individual commits,

00:39:27 --> 00:39:30

and the clothes that comes off

00:39:31 --> 00:39:31

an individual

00:39:33 --> 00:39:34

upon doing their sin.

00:39:35 --> 00:39:37

Shyness my brothers and my sisters,

00:39:38 --> 00:39:39

is interlinked

00:39:39 --> 00:39:42

with the clothes that an individual wears, and

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

the clothes that eventually

00:39:44 --> 00:39:45

come off.

00:39:46 --> 00:39:48

This is what I want to speak about

00:39:48 --> 00:39:49

today, inshallah taken

00:39:49 --> 00:39:50

from Surah Al A'raf.

00:39:51 --> 00:39:52

Surah

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

Al A'raf my brothers and my sisters,

00:39:55 --> 00:39:58

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he tells us about

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

the tricks and the traps of the devil.

00:40:02 --> 00:40:04

We know and everyone is aware of this

00:40:04 --> 00:40:05

my brothers and my sisters.

00:40:07 --> 00:40:07

How

00:40:08 --> 00:40:09

Iblis

00:40:09 --> 00:40:10

took an oath.

00:40:11 --> 00:40:12

He swore by Allah.

00:40:17 --> 00:40:18

Allah

00:40:20 --> 00:40:22

expelled the devil

00:40:22 --> 00:40:23

from paradise,

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

and then he took an oath. And Allah

00:40:27 --> 00:40:30

allowed him to accomplish the plans that he

00:40:30 --> 00:40:31

had in mind.

00:40:33 --> 00:40:33

Laqudan

00:40:34 --> 00:40:34

nalaum

00:40:34 --> 00:40:35

sirataqalmustateen.

00:40:37 --> 00:40:38

I am going to

00:40:39 --> 00:40:39

get in between

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

all of these human beings,

00:40:43 --> 00:40:46

the scholars of tafsir, they mention Kitabullah,

00:40:47 --> 00:40:48

the book of Allah

00:40:50 --> 00:40:53

He's going to get in between you

00:40:53 --> 00:40:54

and your salvation.

00:40:56 --> 00:40:58

Your success my brothers and my sisters in

00:40:58 --> 00:40:59

this dunya,

00:40:59 --> 00:41:00

is found in the book.

00:41:01 --> 00:41:02

We discuss

00:41:03 --> 00:41:04

modern day ideologies

00:41:04 --> 00:41:05

all the time.

00:41:06 --> 00:41:09

All of these different isms and schisms,

00:41:10 --> 00:41:12

that look for ways to structure your life.

00:41:12 --> 00:41:14

Wallahi they are filled with discrepancies,

00:41:15 --> 00:41:16

contradictions, and flaws.

00:41:17 --> 00:41:18

The devil knows

00:41:19 --> 00:41:20

it's the book of Allah

00:41:21 --> 00:41:22

The Quran,

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

if I distance them from that,

00:41:25 --> 00:41:27

I will be able to overpower them, and

00:41:27 --> 00:41:28

take over their minds.

00:41:31 --> 00:41:32

So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:41:34 --> 00:41:34

He quotes

00:41:35 --> 00:41:36

the devil,

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

Iblis my brothers and my sisters,

00:41:52 --> 00:41:54

he swears that he will come

00:41:55 --> 00:41:56

from the front,

00:41:58 --> 00:42:00

also from the back, from the right, and

00:42:00 --> 00:42:02

likewise from the left.

00:42:04 --> 00:42:05

Ibn

00:42:05 --> 00:42:06

Abbas

00:42:06 --> 00:42:08

my brothers and my sisters,

00:42:08 --> 00:42:09

he says,

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

The devil coming from the front,

00:42:14 --> 00:42:16

I'm going to give them doubts about the

00:42:16 --> 00:42:17

hiraftah.

00:42:19 --> 00:42:20

From the back,

00:42:23 --> 00:42:26

I will cause them to become enticed by

00:42:26 --> 00:42:28

the glitters and the glamours of this world.

00:42:29 --> 00:42:30

As I'm going through this my brothers and

00:42:30 --> 00:42:31

my sisters,

00:42:31 --> 00:42:32

you can measure,

00:42:33 --> 00:42:36

you can make the calculations of where we

00:42:36 --> 00:42:37

stand with the devil.

00:42:43 --> 00:42:46

I will give them doubts about their religion.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:51

They will be in a state of confusion.

00:42:53 --> 00:42:55

Isn't this exactly what we see today my

00:42:55 --> 00:42:56

brothers and my sisters?

00:42:57 --> 00:42:59

We are being targeted from every direction.

00:43:01 --> 00:43:04

Sheikh Abu Bakr can also testify to this

00:43:04 --> 00:43:06

when he goes to the MSA, they are

00:43:06 --> 00:43:07

filled with doubts.

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

They have become breeding grounds, these universities.

00:43:11 --> 00:43:13

Kufr, shirkism, thisism, that.

00:43:15 --> 00:43:17

Your heart is being pierced

00:43:17 --> 00:43:19

with doubts that come from every direction.

00:43:20 --> 00:43:23

The professor does not care what religion you

00:43:23 --> 00:43:24

have.

00:43:24 --> 00:43:26

He is looking to strip that off of

00:43:26 --> 00:43:28

you. This is the reality that we have

00:43:28 --> 00:43:30

on the ground my brothers and my sisters.

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

He will also come from the left.

00:43:36 --> 00:43:37

Hasan al Basir

00:43:38 --> 00:43:38

said,

00:43:44 --> 00:43:45

evil sins,

00:43:46 --> 00:43:46

right?

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

He will instruct you my brothers and my

00:43:49 --> 00:43:50

sisters

00:43:50 --> 00:43:52

to fall into that.

00:43:52 --> 00:43:54

And He will encourage you,

00:43:55 --> 00:43:56

beautify it for you.

00:44:00 --> 00:44:01

My brothers and my sisters,

00:44:02 --> 00:44:04

when Iblis came to our

00:44:04 --> 00:44:06

father Adam and Eve.

00:44:07 --> 00:44:09

It's Adam and Eve brothers, not Adam and

00:44:09 --> 00:44:09

Steve.

00:44:11 --> 00:44:13

Right? When he came to Adam and Eve,

00:44:13 --> 00:44:14

my brothers and my sisters,

00:44:14 --> 00:44:16

do you think he said to them, this

00:44:16 --> 00:44:19

is haram? This is displeasing to Allah

00:44:19 --> 00:44:20

Go and do it.

00:44:24 --> 00:44:26

He beautified it for them.

00:44:26 --> 00:44:28

In fact my brothers and my sisters, he

00:44:28 --> 00:44:29

took

00:44:30 --> 00:44:31

a If you just look at this verse,

00:44:32 --> 00:44:33

the amount of

00:44:39 --> 00:44:39

He took

00:44:42 --> 00:44:42

Right?

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

It is further emphasis that I'm telling the

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

truth, Adam and Eve.

00:44:52 --> 00:44:52

These lambs.

00:44:53 --> 00:44:54

Again emphasis,

00:44:55 --> 00:44:56

I am indeed

00:44:56 --> 00:44:58

a sincere advisor.

00:44:59 --> 00:45:01

Beautifying it for you my brothers and my

00:45:01 --> 00:45:01

sisters.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:05

Looking for ways to trap you. This is

00:45:05 --> 00:45:05

the devil.

00:45:07 --> 00:45:09

I've mentioned this example a couple of times,

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

how we get trapped my brothers and my

00:45:11 --> 00:45:12

sisters with social media today,

00:45:13 --> 00:45:15

when the opposite gender

00:45:15 --> 00:45:17

slips into your DMs.

00:45:18 --> 00:45:18

Right?

00:45:19 --> 00:45:21

One thing leads to another and the shaytan

00:45:21 --> 00:45:22

is whispering,

00:45:23 --> 00:45:23

convert

00:45:24 --> 00:45:26

that Australian lady.

00:45:26 --> 00:45:28

She will put on the hijab.

00:45:29 --> 00:45:29

Right?

00:45:30 --> 00:45:31

She will put on the hijab.

00:45:33 --> 00:45:33

Sahih.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:36

And then my brothers, you're tricked and you're

00:45:36 --> 00:45:36

trapped.

00:45:36 --> 00:45:39

Eventually her body ends up giving you dawah.

00:45:39 --> 00:45:40

Right?

00:45:41 --> 00:45:43

With everything that she ends up sending you

00:45:43 --> 00:45:44

away, my brothers and my sisters.

00:45:46 --> 00:45:46

Right.

00:45:47 --> 00:45:49

The clothes came off

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51

Adam and Eve, and they were expelled from

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

Paradise.

00:45:54 --> 00:45:56

I want to stand over this verse my

00:45:56 --> 00:45:57

brothers and my sisters.

00:45:58 --> 00:45:59

Where Allah

00:46:00 --> 00:46:00

says,

00:46:11 --> 00:46:12

In this verse, my brothers and my sisters,

00:46:12 --> 00:46:15

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he talks about 2

00:46:15 --> 00:46:17

types of clothing.

00:46:17 --> 00:46:19

The clothing that Allah azzawajal

00:46:19 --> 00:46:20

sent down

00:46:21 --> 00:46:21

as a blessing

00:46:22 --> 00:46:24

for us to cover our private parts.

00:46:25 --> 00:46:28

This is very well known. It doesn't require

00:46:28 --> 00:46:29

for it to be spelled out.

00:46:30 --> 00:46:32

We are all here wearing clothes.

00:46:34 --> 00:46:35

And then also Allah

00:46:36 --> 00:46:37

talked about,

00:46:39 --> 00:46:42

The clothing of taqwa. Think about it. Can

00:46:42 --> 00:46:44

you wear a taqwa, my brothers and my

00:46:44 --> 00:46:46

sisters? The same way you put on your

00:46:46 --> 00:46:47

trousers and your top?

00:46:48 --> 00:46:49

The messenger

00:46:50 --> 00:46:52

told us about taqwa is from the actions

00:46:52 --> 00:46:54

of the heart. He pointed to his thoughts

00:46:54 --> 00:46:55

and he said,

00:46:57 --> 00:46:58

Taqwa is here.

00:47:00 --> 00:47:02

So what is the relation between the two

00:47:02 --> 00:47:03

my brothers and my sisters?

00:47:04 --> 00:47:06

This wasn't out of Abbath.

00:47:07 --> 00:47:09

By coincidence, when Allah talked about

00:47:09 --> 00:47:11

these two types of clothing, and I'm going

00:47:11 --> 00:47:13

to show you all the connection.

00:47:14 --> 00:47:16

And how this is intertwined

00:47:18 --> 00:47:20

and linked with one's shyness. A lot of

00:47:20 --> 00:47:22

the time when we speak about shyness,

00:47:23 --> 00:47:25

all the brothers think, oh he's speaking about

00:47:25 --> 00:47:26

the sisters.

00:47:28 --> 00:47:29

The Messenger

00:47:30 --> 00:47:30

was a makana.

00:47:31 --> 00:47:34

Right? He was a shadda hayan.

00:47:36 --> 00:47:37

He was more shy,

00:47:38 --> 00:47:39

more bashful.

00:47:40 --> 00:47:41

Right?

00:47:42 --> 00:47:45

Then a virgin inside of her khidr,

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

inside of a chamber, inside of a room.

00:47:49 --> 00:47:51

Did you know my brothers and my sisters,

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

the elite of the past, forget about now.

00:47:54 --> 00:47:57

The morality, compass, what is shifting over time?

00:47:58 --> 00:48:00

What was seen as

00:48:00 --> 00:48:03

absolutely despicable once upon a time, with the

00:48:03 --> 00:48:05

shift in morality, it is being normalized. I'm

00:48:05 --> 00:48:07

going to come on to that in a

00:48:07 --> 00:48:07

moment.

00:48:08 --> 00:48:09

Right?

00:48:09 --> 00:48:10

The elites,

00:48:11 --> 00:48:12

they would

00:48:12 --> 00:48:14

keep their women,

00:48:15 --> 00:48:17

right? Away from the eyes of the public,

00:48:18 --> 00:48:20

as a way to preserve her.

00:48:21 --> 00:48:23

These are non Muslims my brothers and my

00:48:23 --> 00:48:23

sisters.

00:48:25 --> 00:48:25

Right?

00:48:25 --> 00:48:27

As much as they could, they would keep

00:48:27 --> 00:48:28

them out

00:48:29 --> 00:48:30

of sight.

00:48:31 --> 00:48:31

SubhanAllah.

00:48:33 --> 00:48:34

So what is the connection between the 2

00:48:34 --> 00:48:36

my brothers and my sisters, and how does

00:48:36 --> 00:48:37

it affect shyness?

00:48:39 --> 00:48:40

My brothers and my sisters, let me all

00:48:40 --> 00:48:41

give you this scenario.

00:48:43 --> 00:48:46

Every single one of us, once upon a

00:48:46 --> 00:48:46

time

00:48:48 --> 00:48:50

and this is still the case insha Allah

00:48:51 --> 00:48:53

That when we were told to approach a

00:48:53 --> 00:48:53

woman

00:48:54 --> 00:48:55

or vice versa,

00:48:58 --> 00:49:00

we would feel extremely uncomfortable.

00:49:01 --> 00:49:02

We would be very hesitant.

00:49:03 --> 00:49:04

Right?

00:49:04 --> 00:49:06

And if we did speak to the opposite

00:49:06 --> 00:49:06

gender,

00:49:07 --> 00:49:09

we will fluff our words,

00:49:09 --> 00:49:09

sahih.

00:49:12 --> 00:49:14

Let's use the university as an example.

00:49:16 --> 00:49:18

What happens my brothers and my sisters,

00:49:18 --> 00:49:21

the first day when you've started these schools,

00:49:22 --> 00:49:23

right?

00:49:23 --> 00:49:24

Everyone

00:49:27 --> 00:49:28

has boundaries.

00:49:29 --> 00:49:31

They are away from one another. But the

00:49:31 --> 00:49:32

more

00:49:32 --> 00:49:35

we mix with one another, would you agree

00:49:35 --> 00:49:36

my brothers and my sisters,

00:49:36 --> 00:49:40

that the shyness becomes more and more less.

00:49:41 --> 00:49:42

Right?

00:49:42 --> 00:49:44

The first day might be,

00:49:44 --> 00:49:45

hi.

00:49:46 --> 00:49:48

And then it's bye the next day.

00:49:48 --> 00:49:49

Right?

00:49:50 --> 00:49:50

Next morning,

00:49:51 --> 00:49:52

hi. How are you?

00:49:54 --> 00:49:57

As he's leaving the school or work, bye,

00:49:57 --> 00:49:58

enjoy your night.

00:50:00 --> 00:50:02

One thing leads to another my brothers and

00:50:02 --> 00:50:03

my sisters.

00:50:04 --> 00:50:05

Right? And shyness

00:50:07 --> 00:50:09

goes hand in hand with the issue of

00:50:09 --> 00:50:11

a taqwa, my brothers and my sisters.

00:50:12 --> 00:50:13

The shyness

00:50:15 --> 00:50:17

serves as a deterrent

00:50:17 --> 00:50:18

from haram.

00:50:19 --> 00:50:21

The same way the prayer my brothers and

00:50:21 --> 00:50:21

my sisters

00:50:22 --> 00:50:23

protects you

00:50:23 --> 00:50:26

from filth and evil. I use this example

00:50:26 --> 00:50:27

all the time.

00:50:30 --> 00:50:32

The salahi removes the filth and the evil

00:50:32 --> 00:50:34

from your life. That's why even tell drug

00:50:34 --> 00:50:35

dealers do this.

00:50:36 --> 00:50:37

Doesn't matter what you're doing.

00:50:38 --> 00:50:41

Salah is there to remove the filth and

00:50:41 --> 00:50:42

the evil from your lives.

00:50:43 --> 00:50:44

Right?

00:50:44 --> 00:50:46

Shyness is similar to that.

00:50:46 --> 00:50:48

The hadith that many of us have memorized

00:50:48 --> 00:50:50

from 40 hadith of Imam al Nawi.

00:50:54 --> 00:50:55

If you don't have shyness,

00:50:56 --> 00:50:57

then go and do as you wish. The

00:50:57 --> 00:50:59

scholars they explained this,

00:50:59 --> 00:51:02

and they gave it numerous interpretations. One of

00:51:02 --> 00:51:03

them is a tahideed.

00:51:04 --> 00:51:05

It's a threat.

00:51:06 --> 00:51:07

You don't have shyness?

00:51:07 --> 00:51:08

Go do what you want, and see what

00:51:08 --> 00:51:09

happens.

00:51:10 --> 00:51:11

Like when Allah says,

00:51:14 --> 00:51:15

Go and do as I wish. Does that

00:51:15 --> 00:51:15

mean,

00:51:18 --> 00:51:20

Go and sleep around, and commit haram, and

00:51:20 --> 00:51:22

drug deal, and Don't worry. It's fine. Is

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

that what it means? Even though you're being

00:51:24 --> 00:51:26

commanded here. Or Surah Al Firkuh, not every

00:51:26 --> 00:51:29

commandment in the Quran is always an obligation

00:51:29 --> 00:51:31

upon you to go and do it.

00:51:32 --> 00:51:32

Right?

00:51:33 --> 00:51:35

Sometimes it comes with the meaning of tahadeed.

00:51:41 --> 00:51:44

Allah says, Whoever from amongst you go and

00:51:44 --> 00:51:46

believe, and whoever from amongst you go and

00:51:46 --> 00:51:47

disbelieve. Does that mean go do it? See

00:51:48 --> 00:51:49

what's gonna happen after.

00:51:53 --> 00:51:54

Is being prepared.

00:51:55 --> 00:51:56

That's one of the meanings. The other meaning

00:51:56 --> 00:51:58

my brothers and my sisters of this hadith,

00:51:58 --> 00:52:00

cut is very very moist on our tongues.

00:52:00 --> 00:52:01

Right?

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

I even sometimes hear

00:52:03 --> 00:52:04

journalist

00:52:04 --> 00:52:05

using it.

00:52:06 --> 00:52:07

I think one time I heard it on

00:52:07 --> 00:52:08

Al Jazeera.

00:52:09 --> 00:52:11

And you know what he said? As the

00:52:11 --> 00:52:14

goes, the example that is normally mentioned. Habibi

00:52:14 --> 00:52:16

is the statement of the prophet

00:52:17 --> 00:52:19

That's how widespread it is.

00:52:20 --> 00:52:21

If you have no shyness, go and do

00:52:21 --> 00:52:22

as you wish.

00:52:23 --> 00:52:24

Right?

00:52:24 --> 00:52:26

The other meaning is my brothers and my

00:52:26 --> 00:52:27

sisters,

00:52:28 --> 00:52:30

as long as you have shyness, it is

00:52:30 --> 00:52:32

going to prevent you

00:52:33 --> 00:52:34

from the haram.

00:52:35 --> 00:52:35

Right?

00:52:37 --> 00:52:40

It's going to prevent you from being degenerate,

00:52:41 --> 00:52:43

engaging in filth, and evil, and that which

00:52:43 --> 00:52:44

is abhorrent.

00:52:45 --> 00:52:46

Right?

00:52:46 --> 00:52:48

So the more you mix,

00:52:49 --> 00:52:51

the more my brothers and sisters,

00:52:52 --> 00:52:55

you engage, and you flirt, and you get

00:52:55 --> 00:52:55

comfortable.

00:52:56 --> 00:52:57

Your taqwa,

00:52:59 --> 00:53:02

your shyness is reducing alongside your taqwa, my

00:53:02 --> 00:53:05

brothers and Mas'idiah, affects it. Because taqwa is

00:53:05 --> 00:53:06

what?

00:53:06 --> 00:53:09

Right? We hear about taqwa all the time,

00:53:09 --> 00:53:12

and translating it as fear doesn't give it

00:53:12 --> 00:53:14

its true justice, my brothers and my sisters.

00:53:14 --> 00:53:15

Abidil,

00:53:15 --> 00:53:17

it is only an element of it.

00:53:18 --> 00:53:19

Ibn Razi

00:53:19 --> 00:53:20

says,

00:53:25 --> 00:53:27

It is to place a shield

00:53:27 --> 00:53:29

between you and that which you fear. What

00:53:29 --> 00:53:31

is it that we fear? We fear the

00:53:31 --> 00:53:32

punishment of Allah aasawasawaihi wa sallam.

00:53:33 --> 00:53:34

This is,

00:53:35 --> 00:53:35

right?

00:53:36 --> 00:53:38

Like you're on the battlefield. Right?

00:53:38 --> 00:53:41

Protecting yourself from the arrows of the army.

00:53:43 --> 00:53:45

To do what Allah told you to do

00:53:45 --> 00:53:46

and to stay away from what Allah told

00:53:46 --> 00:53:47

you to stay away from.

00:53:49 --> 00:53:49

Right?

00:53:53 --> 00:53:55

Subhanallah. So the more that happens,

00:53:55 --> 00:53:57

first it was just, hi, bye, how are

00:53:57 --> 00:54:00

you, whatever. Tomorrow it's hugs.

00:54:02 --> 00:54:04

Right? It's hugs, so casually.

00:54:06 --> 00:54:08

This is how they greet one another, and

00:54:08 --> 00:54:09

then it infiltrated

00:54:11 --> 00:54:12

into us my brothers and my sisters.

00:54:13 --> 00:54:14

Right?

00:54:16 --> 00:54:18

As the taqwa reduces my brothers and my

00:54:18 --> 00:54:19

sisters,

00:54:20 --> 00:54:22

2 types of clothing Allah spoke about, right?

00:54:24 --> 00:54:26

The clothing that you use to cover your

00:54:26 --> 00:54:27

private parts,

00:54:28 --> 00:54:29

and the clothing of taqwa.

00:54:30 --> 00:54:30

Zaalikakayr

00:54:31 --> 00:54:33

Allah says, that is better for you.

00:54:33 --> 00:54:35

As your taqwa reduces,

00:54:36 --> 00:54:38

the more and more you get comfortable with

00:54:38 --> 00:54:39

the opposite gender.

00:54:41 --> 00:54:44

The more you will see you taking off

00:54:44 --> 00:54:46

your clothing one after the other.

00:54:47 --> 00:54:49

This is for both men and women.

00:54:50 --> 00:54:52

Right? Isn't that exactly what happens?

00:54:54 --> 00:54:56

One thing leads to another, and eventually the

00:54:56 --> 00:54:59

clothes comes off after the taqwa has diminished.

00:55:03 --> 00:55:04

Right? And you know my brothers and my

00:55:04 --> 00:55:06

sisters, in Surat An Nur,

00:55:06 --> 00:55:08

it all begins to make so much more

00:55:08 --> 00:55:09

sense. Right?

00:55:10 --> 00:55:12

Both the believing men and women,

00:55:15 --> 00:55:18

Tell the believing men and the believing women

00:55:18 --> 00:55:20

to both lower their gaze.

00:55:21 --> 00:55:21

Right?

00:55:28 --> 00:55:29

Lower your gaze

00:55:29 --> 00:55:32

and safeguard your private part. This was mentioned

00:55:32 --> 00:55:35

before safeguarding your private part.

00:55:36 --> 00:55:37

A lot of the time, the kind of

00:55:38 --> 00:55:40

responses we get, brother, we are in 2024.

00:55:48 --> 00:55:50

Right? It's for the deserts, for back in

00:55:50 --> 00:55:52

the day. We're living in a different time

00:55:52 --> 00:55:53

and place.

00:55:55 --> 00:55:57

You were taught to lower your gaze. You

00:55:57 --> 00:55:59

lower your gaze, you will protect your private

00:55:59 --> 00:55:59

parts.

00:56:01 --> 00:56:03

Right? What the eyes can't see, the heart

00:56:03 --> 00:56:04

won't desire.

00:56:05 --> 00:56:08

What the eyes can't see, the heart won't

00:56:08 --> 00:56:09

desire.

00:56:09 --> 00:56:11

They are all interlinked with one another. Can

00:56:11 --> 00:56:13

you see now my brothers and my sisters?

00:56:13 --> 00:56:15

That guy who walked into work, the one

00:56:15 --> 00:56:16

who went into university,

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

one thing led to another,

00:56:20 --> 00:56:22

the taqal reduced, and then the clothing eventually

00:56:23 --> 00:56:23

came off.

00:56:26 --> 00:56:26

Right?

00:56:27 --> 00:56:28

You know what Ibn Uqayim

00:56:29 --> 00:56:31

says my brothers and my sisters, and this

00:56:31 --> 00:56:34

is why I decided to speak about this.

00:56:34 --> 00:56:35

He says,

00:56:39 --> 00:56:42

The root cause of every evil and calamity.

00:56:47 --> 00:56:49

And it's from the greatest of causes

00:56:49 --> 00:56:50

that

00:56:50 --> 00:56:54

brings about punishments that will take away everyone.

00:57:02 --> 00:57:03

And likewise, subhanAllah,

00:57:04 --> 00:57:04

he says,

00:57:05 --> 00:57:08

on a specific level and on a general

00:57:08 --> 00:57:09

level, it will destroy.

00:57:14 --> 00:57:15

Right?

00:57:18 --> 00:57:19

The intermingling

00:57:19 --> 00:57:21

that you see taking place,

00:57:21 --> 00:57:22

right?

00:57:23 --> 00:57:25

It is the cause of thahisha,

00:57:25 --> 00:57:27

filth and evil. A zina

00:57:28 --> 00:57:29

taking place and spreading.

00:57:31 --> 00:57:33

Are you brothers and sisters with me? He

00:57:33 --> 00:57:34

also says,

00:57:49 --> 00:57:50

And then he says, my brothers and my

00:57:50 --> 00:57:53

sisters, subhanAllah, when a zina and a riba

00:57:54 --> 00:57:56

take a good look at the society that

00:57:56 --> 00:57:57

we're in. Zina

00:57:57 --> 00:58:00

and a riba, usually haram dealings.

00:58:02 --> 00:58:04

Once it begins to spread, Allah will give

00:58:04 --> 00:58:07

permission for that place or that locality to

00:58:07 --> 00:58:07

be destroyed.

00:58:08 --> 00:58:09

And then Al Mihan,

00:58:10 --> 00:58:10

calamities,

00:58:11 --> 00:58:12

hardships,

00:58:12 --> 00:58:13

trials,

00:58:15 --> 00:58:18

start happening 1 after the other, one after

00:58:18 --> 00:58:18

the other.

00:58:19 --> 00:58:20

Right?

00:58:20 --> 00:58:22

It's upon us to reflect my brothers and

00:58:22 --> 00:58:23

my sisters.

00:58:24 --> 00:58:25

Right?

00:58:26 --> 00:58:27

It's upon us to reflect.

00:58:28 --> 00:58:30

You look at the verses that come after

00:58:30 --> 00:58:31

that, Allah

00:58:32 --> 00:58:33

says, my brothers and my sisters,

00:58:44 --> 00:58:45

Those who commit abhorrent,

00:58:47 --> 00:58:49

despicable, filthy acts.

00:58:50 --> 00:58:52

Fahesha isn't just a zina

00:58:52 --> 00:58:52

in

00:58:53 --> 00:58:56

Surat Al Aaraf. Likewise, later on Allah says,

00:59:03 --> 00:59:05

When Lord said to his people,

00:59:06 --> 00:59:08

do you carry out these fahesh?

00:59:10 --> 00:59:11

Right?

00:59:12 --> 00:59:14

A zina and likewise the practices

00:59:15 --> 00:59:17

of the people of Lot was also referred

00:59:17 --> 00:59:18

to as a faheshah.

00:59:19 --> 00:59:22

Those when they do this my brothers and

00:59:22 --> 00:59:22

my sisters,

00:59:23 --> 00:59:24

you know what they try to after that

00:59:24 --> 00:59:25

do?

00:59:26 --> 00:59:27

They try to

00:59:27 --> 00:59:29

blame it on their forefathers.

00:59:30 --> 00:59:31

This is now normalization.

00:59:32 --> 00:59:33

It's one thing,

00:59:34 --> 00:59:37

doing the fahesha, doing the sin. Wallahi, I

00:59:37 --> 00:59:39

get phone calls all the time my brothers

00:59:39 --> 00:59:39

and my sisters.

00:59:40 --> 00:59:42

Those in haram relationship with the opposite gender,

00:59:42 --> 00:59:45

and those with same genders. And they're crying,

00:59:45 --> 00:59:47

Please make du'a for me, please, please.

00:59:50 --> 00:59:51

Yes brothers,

00:59:51 --> 00:59:53

even the second type is becoming more and

00:59:53 --> 00:59:54

more common.

00:59:55 --> 00:59:56

And I show sympathy

00:59:56 --> 00:59:58

and empathy towards them.

00:59:59 --> 01:00:01

This is the society that we live in.

01:00:02 --> 01:00:02

Right?

01:00:03 --> 01:00:04

This hyper,

01:00:05 --> 01:00:05

polarized,

01:00:06 --> 01:00:07

sexualized society.

01:00:09 --> 01:00:09

Right?

01:00:11 --> 01:00:11

Here,

01:00:12 --> 01:00:13

this verse,

01:00:13 --> 01:00:16

my brothers and my sisters is similar to

01:00:16 --> 01:00:17

a verse in Surat Al Imran.

01:00:19 --> 01:00:21

Allah says in that verse,

01:00:30 --> 01:00:31

Did I say the verse is right, Ishaq?

01:00:32 --> 01:00:34

Those when they do the and

01:00:35 --> 01:00:36

they wrong themselves,

01:00:37 --> 01:00:39

what do they run to doing my brothers

01:00:39 --> 01:00:40

and my sisters?

01:00:41 --> 01:00:42

They remember Allah,

01:00:43 --> 01:00:44

and they seek forgiveness.

01:00:45 --> 01:00:47

But in the verse that I just mentioned

01:00:47 --> 01:00:48

from Surat

01:00:49 --> 01:00:49

Al Araf,

01:00:50 --> 01:00:52

that speaks about the clothing.

01:00:52 --> 01:00:54

They don't run back to Allah.

01:00:55 --> 01:00:56

They're doing it,

01:00:56 --> 01:00:58

and then they blame it on their forefathers.

01:00:59 --> 01:01:01

They commanded us with it.

01:01:02 --> 01:01:03

Normalization.

01:01:05 --> 01:01:06

Right?

01:01:06 --> 01:01:08

And then they go even a step further.

01:01:10 --> 01:01:11

This is now legislation.

01:01:12 --> 01:01:14

Now my brothers and my sisters, let's just

01:01:14 --> 01:01:15

take a look at the now.

01:01:16 --> 01:01:17

Right?

01:01:17 --> 01:01:19

Once upon a time,

01:01:19 --> 01:01:20

girlfriend,

01:01:21 --> 01:01:21

right?

01:01:22 --> 01:01:23

Was completely

01:01:24 --> 01:01:26

seen as something that is bang out of

01:01:26 --> 01:01:27

order.

01:01:28 --> 01:01:30

So over time, it started becoming normalized.

01:01:31 --> 01:01:33

And then we started saying to ourselves,

01:01:34 --> 01:01:35

everybody is doing it.

01:01:36 --> 01:01:38

Everyone is doing it.

01:01:38 --> 01:01:39

It's

01:01:39 --> 01:01:40

not that big anymore.

01:01:40 --> 01:01:42

They'll eventually repent.

01:01:44 --> 01:01:45

Turn a blind eye.

01:01:46 --> 01:01:48

There are parents, they will turn a blind

01:01:48 --> 01:01:50

eye. And I engage with them regularly.

01:01:52 --> 01:01:54

Like everyone is doing it. It's not like

01:01:54 --> 01:01:56

once upon a time, it's going to bring

01:01:56 --> 01:01:57

shame to my family.

01:02:00 --> 01:02:01

You know, one of your cousins from a

01:02:01 --> 01:02:04

couple of years ago, she got impregnated outside

01:02:04 --> 01:02:05

of wedlock and they all lie, no big

01:02:05 --> 01:02:06

deal.

01:02:07 --> 01:02:08

Right? Normalization

01:02:08 --> 01:02:11

my brothers and my sisters. And sometimes when

01:02:11 --> 01:02:14

a sister does it, she's fallen short, she

01:02:14 --> 01:02:16

wants everyone else to fall short as well.

01:02:16 --> 01:02:17

Likewise the brothers.

01:02:18 --> 01:02:19

It reminds me of something,

01:02:20 --> 01:02:22

or a narration that was attributed to Usman

01:02:22 --> 01:02:23

ibn Affan. He said,

01:02:26 --> 01:02:26

The fornicatress,

01:02:27 --> 01:02:28

she wishes

01:02:28 --> 01:02:31

that everyone else becomes a fornicatress

01:02:32 --> 01:02:32

as well.

01:02:34 --> 01:02:34

Right?

01:02:35 --> 01:02:38

We've committed the haram because we don't want

01:02:38 --> 01:02:40

to be looked at in that light. We

01:02:40 --> 01:02:42

want everyone else, so we have an excuse.

01:02:44 --> 01:02:46

Isn't that so?

01:02:49 --> 01:02:49

Legislation.

01:02:51 --> 01:02:53

They begin to legislate this haram.

01:02:56 --> 01:02:58

Now my brothers and my sisters,

01:02:58 --> 01:03:00

you know we've been discussing in the last

01:03:00 --> 01:03:02

couple of years now. And it's becoming more

01:03:02 --> 01:03:03

and more popularized

01:03:03 --> 01:03:04

to have this view.

01:03:04 --> 01:03:07

Certain things are not sins.

01:03:07 --> 01:03:10

The practice of the people of Lot

01:03:10 --> 01:03:13

was * right according to the scripture.

01:03:13 --> 01:03:16

Because Abutayme doesn't have his own views and

01:03:16 --> 01:03:16

opinions.

01:03:17 --> 01:03:19

Right? According to the scripture

01:03:20 --> 01:03:20

it says

01:03:22 --> 01:03:23

Someone comes along and says,

01:03:24 --> 01:03:25

this is not a sin.

01:03:27 --> 01:03:29

Right? We had prime ministers come out and

01:03:29 --> 01:03:31

say this my brothers and my sisters.

01:03:31 --> 01:03:33

And it became a huge discussion.

01:03:34 --> 01:03:35

You know the guy I told you guys

01:03:35 --> 01:03:38

about earlier who calls me and says, please

01:03:38 --> 01:03:39

make du'a for me, man.

01:03:40 --> 01:03:40

I'm struggling.

01:03:41 --> 01:03:44

I'm in this haram relationship. Muhammad is telling

01:03:44 --> 01:03:45

me I'm in a haram relationship

01:03:46 --> 01:03:47

with Bobby.

01:03:47 --> 01:03:48

Right?

01:03:48 --> 01:03:50

He's calling me.

01:03:51 --> 01:03:54

He knows my brothers and my sisters, what

01:03:54 --> 01:03:54

he's doing.

01:03:56 --> 01:03:56

Right?

01:03:57 --> 01:03:58

We ask Allah azza wa jal to guide

01:03:58 --> 01:04:00

him and to forgive him.

01:04:00 --> 01:04:01

Right?

01:04:02 --> 01:04:05

According to the scripture and the Shariah law

01:04:05 --> 01:04:07

my brothers and my sisters, this is considered

01:04:07 --> 01:04:09

what? A major sin.

01:04:09 --> 01:04:12

But now to come out and justify it,

01:04:14 --> 01:04:17

This is in fact a legislation of God.

01:04:20 --> 01:04:22

This, my brothers and my sisters, istihlal, and

01:04:22 --> 01:04:23

he takes out the foodulisat.

01:04:26 --> 01:04:28

And this is the worry many of us

01:04:28 --> 01:04:28

have

01:04:29 --> 01:04:30

with our children

01:04:31 --> 01:04:32

that go to these institutions.

01:04:33 --> 01:04:35

Once upon a time, my brothers and my

01:04:35 --> 01:04:36

sisters, you tell me, if we saw a

01:04:36 --> 01:04:38

guy walking funky,

01:04:39 --> 01:04:41

right? If you saw him walking funky,

01:04:42 --> 01:04:44

right? This is in our time. I don't

01:04:44 --> 01:04:45

know about your time.

01:04:47 --> 01:04:49

Everyone will look at him.

01:04:51 --> 01:04:53

What's wrong with him?

01:04:54 --> 01:04:56

Now my brothers and my sisters, is that

01:04:56 --> 01:04:57

the case?

01:04:57 --> 01:04:59

In fact, the one who has a dissident

01:05:00 --> 01:05:02

opinion to what the establishment

01:05:02 --> 01:05:03

popularizes,

01:05:04 --> 01:05:06

he is seen as someone that is out

01:05:06 --> 01:05:07

of touch with reality.

01:05:10 --> 01:05:12

Are you brothers and sisters with me?

01:05:14 --> 01:05:17

Take the verse from Surat Ali Imran. You've

01:05:17 --> 01:05:19

fallen short my brother and my sister.

01:05:20 --> 01:05:22

1,000 steps you took away from Allah, you

01:05:22 --> 01:05:24

need one step to come back to him.

01:05:26 --> 01:05:27

Don't go a step further

01:05:28 --> 01:05:28

in

01:05:30 --> 01:05:32

trying to justify it,

01:05:33 --> 01:05:35

looking for ways to normalize it.

01:05:36 --> 01:05:37

This is how

01:05:37 --> 01:05:40

filth and evil become so much more established.

01:05:42 --> 01:05:42

Right?

01:05:43 --> 01:05:46

When people start spreading it, normalizing it and

01:05:46 --> 01:05:47

there's not enough people,

01:05:48 --> 01:05:49

doing the opposite.

01:05:50 --> 01:05:52

And then you end up getting knee jerk

01:05:52 --> 01:05:55

reactions. Feminism we had, and then the opposite

01:05:55 --> 01:05:56

of that

01:05:57 --> 01:05:58

is what? Red pill.

01:05:59 --> 01:06:01

Earlier the Sheikh was talking about the body

01:06:01 --> 01:06:02

count. Right?

01:06:03 --> 01:06:04

Right?

01:06:04 --> 01:06:06

This is what they popularize.

01:06:06 --> 01:06:08

Go and commit a as

01:06:09 --> 01:06:11

much as you can, eventually you'll find the

01:06:11 --> 01:06:13

right person. My brothers and most of you

01:06:13 --> 01:06:15

guys know I've jumped on podcast,

01:06:15 --> 01:06:18

with certain individuals, and they themselves told me

01:06:18 --> 01:06:20

when I asked them about some of these

01:06:20 --> 01:06:22

red pill superstars, right?

01:06:23 --> 01:06:26

These front runners of the red pill.

01:06:27 --> 01:06:29

My brothers and my sisters, right?

01:06:30 --> 01:06:32

They are on the verge of losing their

01:06:32 --> 01:06:34

minds, because he doesn't know what he wants

01:06:34 --> 01:06:37

anymore. And this is the of Allah. The

01:06:37 --> 01:06:39

punishment in this dunya before the hereafter.

01:06:41 --> 01:06:43

Every man just wants to be settled my

01:06:43 --> 01:06:44

brothers and my sisters.

01:06:45 --> 01:06:47

To jump from one to another and another

01:06:47 --> 01:06:48

and another,

01:06:48 --> 01:06:50

it damages you psychologically.

01:06:51 --> 01:06:52

And a lot of them are like that.

01:06:52 --> 01:06:54

But in front of the camera, they show

01:06:54 --> 01:06:55

you something else.

01:06:56 --> 01:06:57

They put on this big act.

01:07:00 --> 01:07:00

Right?

01:07:01 --> 01:07:03

This is the reality behind the camera.

01:07:07 --> 01:07:09

And you wonder to yourself,

01:07:10 --> 01:07:11

right?

01:07:12 --> 01:07:12

Why?

01:07:13 --> 01:07:14

Why is there such

01:07:15 --> 01:07:15

a push?

01:07:17 --> 01:07:17

Right?

01:07:18 --> 01:07:19

Such an effort

01:07:19 --> 01:07:21

in spreading degeneracy.

01:07:22 --> 01:07:24

And I'm going to conclude with this inshallah.

01:07:25 --> 01:07:25

Allah

01:07:26 --> 01:07:28

my brothers and my sisters, and I said

01:07:28 --> 01:07:30

this yesterday, I'll mention it again because of

01:07:30 --> 01:07:31

how important it is.

01:07:32 --> 01:07:33

Please put your hand up. Did you come

01:07:33 --> 01:07:35

yesterday? For those who came yesterday.

01:07:36 --> 01:07:38

It's only some.

01:07:38 --> 01:07:39

Allah tells in the Quran,

01:07:46 --> 01:07:49

Haven't you seen the people of the book?

01:07:49 --> 01:07:51

Not any random joke, my brothers and my

01:07:51 --> 01:07:54

sisters. Those who had knowledge of the book.

01:07:56 --> 01:07:57

The 2 religions.

01:07:59 --> 01:08:01

They had knowledge, but they spend from their

01:08:01 --> 01:08:02

wealth

01:08:03 --> 01:08:04

to spread misguidance.

01:08:09 --> 01:08:10

My brothers and my sisters, for those who

01:08:10 --> 01:08:11

didn't know,

01:08:12 --> 01:08:14

this is the US, and I'm just citing

01:08:14 --> 01:08:15

facts.

01:08:16 --> 01:08:17

US LGBTQ

01:08:18 --> 01:08:19

spending surpasses

01:08:20 --> 01:08:20

1.4

01:08:21 --> 01:08:21

trillion.

01:08:23 --> 01:08:26

Not Australian dollars, US dollars.

01:08:26 --> 01:08:28

The Australian one is weaker

01:08:29 --> 01:08:30

in 2021,

01:08:32 --> 01:08:34

according to the pride coop.

01:08:35 --> 01:08:37

If you look at my brothers and my

01:08:37 --> 01:08:40

sisters who owns some of these social media

01:08:40 --> 01:08:41

apps that spreads degeneracy,

01:08:42 --> 01:08:44

filth and evil, like *,

01:08:45 --> 01:08:46

* websites,

01:08:46 --> 01:08:48

Tinder, Jinda, Bumble.

01:08:50 --> 01:08:51

You know what they all have in common?

01:08:51 --> 01:08:52

The same religion.

01:08:54 --> 01:08:57

In fact, what I'm reading now was posted

01:08:57 --> 01:08:58

by a non Muslim. I've done some fact

01:08:58 --> 01:08:59

checking it's true.

01:09:00 --> 01:09:02

The non Muslim is saying

01:09:03 --> 01:09:03

Right?

01:09:04 --> 01:09:05

And let me make it very here very

01:09:05 --> 01:09:07

clear. I'm not anti Semitic.

01:09:07 --> 01:09:08

Right?

01:09:09 --> 01:09:10

For those who didn't know my father, you

01:09:10 --> 01:09:12

know he's actually Jewish. Don't ask me any

01:09:12 --> 01:09:13

more questions.

01:09:13 --> 01:09:14

Right?

01:09:16 --> 01:09:18

Whenever he comes down to,

01:09:19 --> 01:09:20

I put a hole in my pocket, my

01:09:20 --> 01:09:21

brothers and my sisters.

01:09:22 --> 01:09:25

I take him out to very fancy luxurious

01:09:25 --> 01:09:25

restaurants.

01:09:28 --> 01:09:29

Right?

01:09:30 --> 01:09:31

She puts this out, this non Muslim, and

01:09:31 --> 01:09:33

I'm citing again.

01:09:33 --> 01:09:34

Jewish contributions.

01:09:35 --> 01:09:37

And then she mentions all of these apps.

01:09:38 --> 01:09:40

Who owns *?

01:09:40 --> 01:09:41

Leonid Rambinsky.

01:09:43 --> 01:09:44

Who owns most * websites?

01:09:45 --> 01:09:46

Rabbi

01:09:46 --> 01:09:47

Solomon Friedman.

01:09:49 --> 01:09:50

He's a rabbi.

01:09:51 --> 01:09:54

Imagine you had Sheikh Fulan and Allan. He

01:09:54 --> 01:09:55

owns this.

01:10:02 --> 01:10:04

Tinder, Sean Rudd, Grinda, and

01:10:07 --> 01:10:07

Bumble.

01:10:09 --> 01:10:11

Whatever his name is, Whitney. I don't know

01:10:11 --> 01:10:12

is that a man's name or a woman's

01:10:12 --> 01:10:13

name?

01:10:13 --> 01:10:14

Wolfhead.

01:10:17 --> 01:10:19

Wallahi my brothers and most everything that you

01:10:19 --> 01:10:21

see happening around you is not happening by

01:10:21 --> 01:10:21

chance.

01:10:22 --> 01:10:23

It is intended.

01:10:24 --> 01:10:26

But why though my brothers and my sisters?

01:10:26 --> 01:10:26

Why?

01:10:28 --> 01:10:29

Salahuddin Alayubi.

01:10:30 --> 01:10:31

You know what he said my brothers and

01:10:31 --> 01:10:33

my sisters? If you want to destroy any

01:10:33 --> 01:10:34

nation without war,

01:10:35 --> 01:10:36

create adultery

01:10:37 --> 01:10:40

or * common in the young generation.

01:10:41 --> 01:10:42

Rahimahullah. I'll

01:10:42 --> 01:10:45

say that again. Salahuddin alayyou be retrieved.

01:10:46 --> 01:10:47

Baytul Baqdis.

01:10:49 --> 01:10:51

If you want to destroy any nation without

01:10:51 --> 01:10:53

war, without killing them,

01:10:54 --> 01:10:55

Create adultery

01:10:55 --> 01:10:56

or *

01:10:56 --> 01:10:59

common in the young generation.

01:11:02 --> 01:11:04

To conclude, my brothers and my sisters, and

01:11:04 --> 01:11:04

I'm finished.

01:11:07 --> 01:11:07

To conclude,

01:11:09 --> 01:11:11

I'm going to give this advice of Ibn

01:11:11 --> 01:11:11

Taym

01:11:13 --> 01:11:14

that scares the living daylight out of me

01:11:14 --> 01:11:16

every single time I read it.

01:11:18 --> 01:11:19

Ibn Al

01:11:20 --> 01:11:20

Qayyim

01:11:22 --> 01:11:23

spiritual sickness and the cure. You know what

01:11:23 --> 01:11:24

he says?

01:11:30 --> 01:11:32

Pay attention my brothers and my sisters.

01:11:33 --> 01:11:35

Don't misunderstand what I'm about to say. He

01:11:35 --> 01:11:36

says,

01:11:38 --> 01:11:38

sins

01:11:39 --> 01:11:41

is the first spark to disbelief.

01:11:42 --> 01:11:44

Do sins take you out of Islam, my

01:11:44 --> 01:11:45

brothers and my sisters?

01:11:46 --> 01:11:47

It doesn't take you out of Al Islam.

01:11:48 --> 01:11:51

But one thing leads to another, and another,

01:11:51 --> 01:11:53

and another to the point an individual ends

01:11:53 --> 01:11:54

up leaving the fold of Islam.

01:11:56 --> 01:11:58

Look where we were, look where we are.

01:12:03 --> 01:12:05

To the point they will justify the sin.

01:12:05 --> 01:12:08

They will look for ways to normalize it,

01:12:08 --> 01:12:10

legalizing it.

01:12:15 --> 01:12:18

Sins are the first spark to disbelief. And

01:12:18 --> 01:12:19

look what he says,

01:12:22 --> 01:12:22

The kiss

01:12:23 --> 01:12:25

is the first spark to sexual *.

01:12:31 --> 01:12:33

Music is the first spark to zina, everything

01:12:33 --> 01:12:35

we've been speaking about.

01:12:39 --> 01:12:40

Looking my brothers and my sisters.

01:12:42 --> 01:12:44

Sometimes it starts with an innocent glance.

01:12:45 --> 01:12:46

Right?

01:12:47 --> 01:12:47

Your

01:12:48 --> 01:12:50

clothing of a taqwa diminishes.

01:12:51 --> 01:12:53

And then the clothes start coming off. I'm

01:12:53 --> 01:12:54

done.

01:12:56 --> 01:12:56

Yeah?

01:12:58 --> 01:13:00

The glance leads leads to infatuation.

01:13:03 --> 01:13:05

Everything is intended that we see, my brothers

01:13:05 --> 01:13:06

and my sisters.

01:13:06 --> 01:13:07

Last benefit,

01:13:08 --> 01:13:10

I think is imperative to mention, because we're

01:13:10 --> 01:13:12

speaking about Al Haya.

01:13:12 --> 01:13:14

We know the story of Musa Alaihi Salam.

01:13:16 --> 01:13:17

This is both an advice to the men

01:13:17 --> 01:13:18

and women.

01:13:19 --> 01:13:21

Because today men don't know what they want

01:13:21 --> 01:13:21

anymore.

01:13:22 --> 01:13:25

Because they're watching these degenerate videos and streams.

01:13:25 --> 01:13:27

And likewise, our sisters,

01:13:27 --> 01:13:30

they look online and a standard has been

01:13:30 --> 01:13:30

set.

01:13:31 --> 01:13:32

And she is thinking to us, Perhaps I

01:13:32 --> 01:13:35

need to be like that in order to

01:13:35 --> 01:13:36

find love.

01:13:38 --> 01:13:38

Musa

01:13:40 --> 01:13:41

in Surat Al Qasas.

01:13:43 --> 01:13:43

Right?

01:13:46 --> 01:13:49

Saw 2 young ladies, and he helped them.

01:13:49 --> 01:13:50

We know the story. Right?

01:13:50 --> 01:13:51

To some degree.

01:13:52 --> 01:13:54

Long story cut short because our brother here

01:13:54 --> 01:13:55

is giving me signals.

01:13:57 --> 01:13:59

When he speaks to the Sheikh next to

01:13:59 --> 01:14:01

the other one, right, it means,

01:14:02 --> 01:14:04

hurry up. I know these signals very well.

01:14:05 --> 01:14:07

Been there, done that. Right?

01:14:08 --> 01:14:09

These 2 young ladies,

01:14:10 --> 01:14:12

she went home. She signaled it to her

01:14:12 --> 01:14:12

father.

01:14:13 --> 01:14:15

The father said bring him home. Musa alaihis

01:14:15 --> 01:14:16

salatu wasalam.

01:14:19 --> 01:14:21

Did you know my brothers and my sisters,

01:14:21 --> 01:14:23

long story cut short,

01:14:24 --> 01:14:26

Musa alaihis salatu wasalam

01:14:26 --> 01:14:27

worked 10 years

01:14:28 --> 01:14:30

to pay off the dowry. 10 years.

01:14:31 --> 01:14:33

Who would you who would from amongst you

01:14:33 --> 01:14:33

do that?

01:14:34 --> 01:14:35

10 years.

01:14:36 --> 01:14:38

Right, to pay off the dowry.

01:14:39 --> 01:14:40

He was

01:14:41 --> 01:14:42

offered this young lady,

01:14:43 --> 01:14:45

but he was told, if you want her,

01:14:45 --> 01:14:47

then you have to work for me for

01:14:47 --> 01:14:49

8 or 10 years. He ended up doing

01:14:49 --> 01:14:49

10.

01:14:51 --> 01:14:52

And do you think that he had the

01:14:52 --> 01:14:54

woman while he was working to pay off

01:14:54 --> 01:14:55

the dowry?

01:14:55 --> 01:14:56

He waited.

01:14:57 --> 01:14:58

My brothers and my sisters,

01:14:59 --> 01:15:01

10 years he worked

01:15:01 --> 01:15:03

in order to pay off the dowry.

01:15:03 --> 01:15:05

What is it that he saw in her?

01:15:05 --> 01:15:06

You tell me.

01:15:07 --> 01:15:10

Out of everything that could have been mentioned

01:15:10 --> 01:15:11

about this lady,

01:15:11 --> 01:15:12

Allah tells us,

01:15:17 --> 01:15:19

As she approached him, she was walking in

01:15:19 --> 01:15:21

a bashful and shayid

01:15:23 --> 01:15:24

manner.

01:15:25 --> 01:15:26

This is what he saw in her, my

01:15:26 --> 01:15:27

brothers and my sisters.

01:15:28 --> 01:15:30

And in Surah Tanur, we are told,

01:15:34 --> 01:15:37

Telling the ladies, don't draw attention to yourself.

01:15:37 --> 01:15:40

Don't stomp your feet. We take from this

01:15:40 --> 01:15:42

that a woman should not be drawing attention

01:15:42 --> 01:15:42

to herself.

01:15:44 --> 01:15:45

This is the Asal.

01:15:46 --> 01:15:48

He saw shyness in her because my brothers

01:15:48 --> 01:15:50

and my sisters, I'm sure we can all

01:15:50 --> 01:15:52

agree, especially you brothers, the way a woman

01:15:52 --> 01:15:53

walks

01:15:54 --> 01:15:56

can spin your mind.

01:15:57 --> 01:15:58

Let's be honest.

01:15:58 --> 01:15:59

Right?

01:16:00 --> 01:16:02

Sisters can't see this, but the brothers know

01:16:02 --> 01:16:04

what I'm talking about. They're laughing.

01:16:05 --> 01:16:06

It has an impact on the mind, on

01:16:06 --> 01:16:07

the heart.

01:16:08 --> 01:16:11

That's what he saw in her. And wallahi,

01:16:11 --> 01:16:13

I speak to drug dealers all the time.

01:16:13 --> 01:16:14

Even the drug dealer, you know what he

01:16:14 --> 01:16:16

says? All of these girls that I have,

01:16:17 --> 01:16:19

all of these side girls,

01:16:19 --> 01:16:20

whatever you want to call them, this is

01:16:20 --> 01:16:22

what he's called. Don't say it's me, Abu

01:16:22 --> 01:16:23

Timya saying it.

01:16:24 --> 01:16:25

They like to cut these things out. They

01:16:25 --> 01:16:27

happened in America when I went there. And

01:16:27 --> 01:16:28

then that lady that tried to take things

01:16:28 --> 01:16:31

out of context, she was absolutely berated online.

01:16:33 --> 01:16:35

Seems like an army was sent.

01:16:37 --> 01:16:38

Right?

01:16:38 --> 01:16:40

And then she eventually took it down. The

01:16:40 --> 01:16:42

drug dealer says this, brothers,

01:16:42 --> 01:16:44

who's engaging in all of that filth,

01:16:45 --> 01:16:47

I don't want the mother of my daughters

01:16:48 --> 01:16:50

to be like these girls. They're not wife

01:16:50 --> 01:16:52

material. I want a shy woman.

01:16:52 --> 01:16:54

It's the drug dealer.

01:16:55 --> 01:16:57

He knows exactly what his wife material.

01:16:58 --> 01:17:00

This is a characteristic of both men and

01:17:00 --> 01:17:02

women are in need of. That will protect

01:17:02 --> 01:17:04

us from a lot of the filth that

01:17:04 --> 01:17:05

we have.

01:17:07 --> 01:17:08

Did I go over my time?

01:17:12 --> 01:17:13

Just just before he gives the word, and

01:17:13 --> 01:17:15

I just want to give one minute word

01:17:16 --> 01:17:16

of,

01:17:17 --> 01:17:20

encouragement for the brothers that remained standing for

01:17:20 --> 01:17:22

the hour or so. And I don't know

01:17:22 --> 01:17:24

if the sisters, some of them were standing.

01:17:24 --> 01:17:27

Very quickly, wallahi, I tell you your standing

01:17:27 --> 01:17:29

does not go unnoticed by Allah.

01:17:30 --> 01:17:33

And Nabi salallahu alayhi wasalam was in a

01:17:33 --> 01:17:33

gathering.

01:17:34 --> 01:17:36

And a man came late to the gathering.

01:17:36 --> 01:17:39

He found room for himself. He sat. And

01:17:39 --> 01:17:39

Nabi

01:17:41 --> 01:17:43

said about him, the one that sat,

01:17:46 --> 01:17:49

He came seeking protection because the knowledge protects

01:17:49 --> 01:17:51

a person, and so Allah

01:17:51 --> 01:17:52

granted him protection.

01:17:53 --> 01:17:55

Another person came in, did not find room,

01:17:55 --> 01:17:56

so he stood.

01:17:57 --> 01:17:57

And Nabi

01:17:59 --> 01:18:00

said about those who stood.

01:18:01 --> 01:18:02

He said,

01:18:05 --> 01:18:07

He was shy and Allah

01:18:08 --> 01:18:10

was shy of them.

01:18:10 --> 01:18:12

The one who stood for the sake of

01:18:12 --> 01:18:15

Allah to listen to a lesson, Allah is

01:18:15 --> 01:18:16

shy of them.

01:18:17 --> 01:18:20

Subhanallah, what does that mean? If Allah is

01:18:20 --> 01:18:23

shy from someone, that means his dua is

01:18:23 --> 01:18:25

accepted. As a Nabi says,

01:18:26 --> 01:18:28

Allah is shy from the one who raises

01:18:28 --> 01:18:29

his hand to him that he returned them

01:18:29 --> 01:18:31

rejected and 0.

01:18:31 --> 01:18:32

So brothers, may Allah

01:18:33 --> 01:18:35

grant you reward for your standing.

01:18:35 --> 01:18:36

We ask Allah

01:18:36 --> 01:18:38

to grant us all acceptance and forgiveness.

01:18:39 --> 01:18:41

Very quickly, maybe some of them are tired.

01:18:59 --> 01:19:00

Nikita was

01:19:00 --> 01:19:02

ending with, how do I find a

01:19:03 --> 01:19:06

spouse in today's day and age for the

01:19:06 --> 01:19:06

younger generation?

01:19:07 --> 01:19:09

What kind of places do we look for

01:19:09 --> 01:19:09

them?

01:19:10 --> 01:19:11

Shirk, please.

01:19:15 --> 01:19:17

Ola, every Masjid I go to they ask

01:19:17 --> 01:19:18

the same question.

01:19:20 --> 01:19:21

So I think that's a sign that those

01:19:21 --> 01:19:23

who came to this program are different from

01:19:23 --> 01:19:24

the other ones.

01:19:27 --> 01:19:29

My brothers and my sisters, I have a

01:19:29 --> 01:19:30

couple of suggestions very, very quickly, and I'll

01:19:30 --> 01:19:32

let Sheikh Abu Bakr.

01:19:33 --> 01:19:35

As my battery has gone down to 5%,

01:19:35 --> 01:19:36

I need to bring it back up again.

01:19:37 --> 01:19:37

Right?

01:19:38 --> 01:19:40

It's been a long couple of days,

01:19:41 --> 01:19:43

and we're really struggling with our sleep.

01:19:44 --> 01:19:44

Right?

01:19:46 --> 01:19:47

I have a couple of suggestions.

01:19:48 --> 01:19:50

Everyone here, my brothers and my sisters,

01:19:50 --> 01:19:51

I'm sure

01:19:51 --> 01:19:52

they know

01:19:53 --> 01:19:55

a relative of theirs that is a female.

01:19:56 --> 01:19:56

Sahih?

01:19:57 --> 01:19:58

The point I'm trying to make is,

01:19:59 --> 01:20:00

there are good people in the community

01:20:02 --> 01:20:04

that will be able to advise you

01:20:05 --> 01:20:07

of who you should and who you shouldn't.

01:20:08 --> 01:20:10

Ask around, ask your relatives to do that

01:20:10 --> 01:20:13

vetting for you, to ask around. Perhaps they

01:20:13 --> 01:20:15

may know a sister that is perhaps

01:20:16 --> 01:20:18

befitting for you.

01:20:19 --> 01:20:21

Right? You'll be surprised the amount of that

01:20:21 --> 01:20:24

can come out of this. And brothers don't

01:20:24 --> 01:20:26

get upset when somebody comes and asks for

01:20:26 --> 01:20:26

your sister.

01:20:27 --> 01:20:30

He's coming in the halal way. Abu Bakr

01:20:30 --> 01:20:32

radhiallahu ta'ala Anhu in fact

01:20:32 --> 01:20:35

offered his daughter to the messenger salallahu alaihi

01:20:35 --> 01:20:37

wa sallam. But in today's day and age,

01:20:37 --> 01:20:38

this is something that is shunned.

01:20:40 --> 01:20:42

The kind of image that is created is

01:20:42 --> 01:20:44

that this lady that you're offering to another

01:20:44 --> 01:20:47

is supposedly hungry or something or thirsty.

01:20:48 --> 01:20:48

It's normal.

01:20:49 --> 01:20:51

Like I said, we are in a very

01:20:51 --> 01:20:51

degenerate

01:20:52 --> 01:20:53

filthy society.

01:20:53 --> 01:20:55

Would you rather you do this in a

01:20:55 --> 01:20:56

halal way

01:20:56 --> 01:20:58

or for outside they're doing something

01:20:58 --> 01:20:59

very different?

01:21:01 --> 01:21:03

There are also my brothers and my sisters

01:21:03 --> 01:21:04

some of these

01:21:05 --> 01:21:06

halal,

01:21:07 --> 01:21:09

not zina apps but halal apps.

01:21:11 --> 01:21:12

That is Sharia compliant.

01:21:14 --> 01:21:16

Does that make sense my brothers and my

01:21:16 --> 01:21:17

sisters?

01:21:17 --> 01:21:19

Tinder is not one of them,

01:21:20 --> 01:21:21

or Muzmatch,

01:21:23 --> 01:21:25

and some of these other zina apps.

01:21:26 --> 01:21:29

Guys, please, as you're leaving, kindly, kindly, may

01:21:29 --> 01:21:30

Allah bless you all. Right?

01:21:34 --> 01:21:36

Keep that in mind. I know some of

01:21:36 --> 01:21:38

the masajid, they may have registries as well.

01:21:40 --> 01:21:43

Sheikh, you in Sydney, and you know the

01:21:43 --> 01:21:45

people Bahir Betar, these are just general. I'm

01:21:45 --> 01:21:46

sure you can give something more specific.

01:21:48 --> 01:21:50

Please help them, Sheikh. They need help. Right?

01:21:53 --> 01:21:56

Alloha, if there's anything that we can add,

01:21:57 --> 01:21:58

we might be able to draw a reflection

01:21:58 --> 01:22:00

from the very same story that,

01:22:01 --> 01:22:03

Sheikh Abutaimiyyah hindered with his talk, and that

01:22:03 --> 01:22:06

was that story of Musa alayhis salam.

01:22:06 --> 01:22:08

But if you were to observe the events

01:22:08 --> 01:22:11

that happened there, Musa alayhis salam, he performed

01:22:11 --> 01:22:12

a righteous good deed,

01:22:13 --> 01:22:14

and that is that he looked after

01:22:15 --> 01:22:17

the concern of 2 young women.

01:22:18 --> 01:22:20

And he moved a huge boulder that was

01:22:20 --> 01:22:23

covering a well, and he provided water for

01:22:23 --> 01:22:24

their livestock.

01:22:24 --> 01:22:27

Once he did a good deed, he did

01:22:27 --> 01:22:29

a service, a public service.

01:22:29 --> 01:22:31

He did a public service.

01:22:31 --> 01:22:33

He went back to the shade of a

01:22:33 --> 01:22:35

tree and he sat under a tree.

01:22:38 --> 01:22:38

Allah

01:22:39 --> 01:22:39

said.

01:22:40 --> 01:22:41

And then he made a dua and he

01:22:41 --> 01:22:42

said,

01:22:45 --> 01:22:47

He said, my Lord, I am in desperate

01:22:47 --> 01:22:50

need of any good you sent my way.

01:22:53 --> 01:22:55

It's like the backbone. A person is back

01:22:55 --> 01:22:57

broken, literally empty, doesn't have anything.

01:22:57 --> 01:22:58

You know how Allah

01:22:59 --> 01:23:00

answered his dua?

01:23:02 --> 01:23:03

One of the 2 girls came to him.

01:23:03 --> 01:23:05

Love story. This is a love story, my

01:23:05 --> 01:23:08

brother. It's a halal one. Right? And eventually,

01:23:08 --> 01:23:09

the marriage was facilitated,

01:23:10 --> 01:23:11

and he had children, and he got a

01:23:11 --> 01:23:13

job, and he made money, and there was

01:23:13 --> 01:23:15

a place to stay at. And masha'Allah, a

01:23:15 --> 01:23:18

lot of goodness happened afterwards. So and just

01:23:18 --> 01:23:19

reflecting over that,

01:23:19 --> 01:23:22

Do a good community service. See what your

01:23:22 --> 01:23:24

community needs. Do a good deed. You

01:23:25 --> 01:23:27

don't want anything from it. Go back at

01:23:27 --> 01:23:29

the end of the day and make a

01:23:29 --> 01:23:30

dua to Allah

01:23:31 --> 01:23:32

and perhaps Allah

01:23:32 --> 01:23:34

will guide you afterwards

01:23:34 --> 01:23:35

to a woman,

01:23:35 --> 01:23:36

that is righteous.

01:23:40 --> 01:23:43

Next question. What are the practical steps to

01:23:43 --> 01:23:46

ensure our community respects the scholars and people

01:23:46 --> 01:23:47

of knowledge?

01:23:48 --> 01:23:49

That's your topic, So

01:23:50 --> 01:23:51

Yeah. I mean,

01:23:52 --> 01:23:54

learn from them. Learn from them.

01:23:55 --> 01:23:56

Attend their lectures.

01:23:57 --> 01:23:58

Ask them for advice.

01:23:59 --> 01:24:00

This is how we honor

01:24:01 --> 01:24:02

the scholars

01:24:02 --> 01:24:05

and the people of knowledge among us. We

01:24:05 --> 01:24:08

learn, we seek advice, we ask our question,

01:24:08 --> 01:24:11

and we take others to them as well,

01:24:11 --> 01:24:13

and they ask their questions and so on.

01:24:13 --> 01:24:14

That's, you know, a very brief answer so

01:24:14 --> 01:24:16

we can move on with these questions.

01:24:17 --> 01:24:18

Next question.

01:24:19 --> 01:24:22

Can you touch on how the minor consistent

01:24:22 --> 01:24:22

sins

01:24:23 --> 01:24:25

could lead one all the way to Kufr?

01:24:27 --> 01:24:29

Right. I think that was my talk. Right?

01:24:45 --> 01:24:47

2 hours from

01:24:47 --> 01:24:48

Sydney, Sahih.

01:24:49 --> 01:24:50

That's why they came late to the program.

01:24:51 --> 01:24:51

Right?

01:24:54 --> 01:24:56

When you go and have a bonfire my

01:24:56 --> 01:24:57

brothers and my sisters,

01:24:58 --> 01:25:02

you need sticks after sticks after sticks.

01:25:02 --> 01:25:04

With one stick you can't set off a

01:25:04 --> 01:25:05

fire.

01:25:06 --> 01:25:07

The more

01:25:07 --> 01:25:09

sticks that you put together,

01:25:10 --> 01:25:12

the more you will see the fire coming

01:25:12 --> 01:25:13

to light.

01:25:13 --> 01:25:16

Right? Sins are like that. Today is a

01:25:16 --> 01:25:20

minor, another minor, another minor, eventually becomes major.

01:25:21 --> 01:25:24

Your heart blackens my brothers and my sisters.

01:25:27 --> 01:25:27

The Messenger

01:25:28 --> 01:25:31

told us, black door, black door, black door.

01:25:31 --> 01:25:33

To the point it becomes so black, you

01:25:33 --> 01:25:35

put goodness in front of him,

01:25:36 --> 01:25:38

dismisses it right away, disregards it.

01:25:39 --> 01:25:41

You put evil filth in front of him

01:25:41 --> 01:25:44

my brothers and my sisters, he doesn't hesitate

01:25:44 --> 01:25:44

in

01:25:46 --> 01:25:47

engaging with it.

01:25:48 --> 01:25:50

And then at times my brothers, because he's

01:25:50 --> 01:25:50

become

01:25:51 --> 01:25:54

so empty inside, he is ready to try

01:25:54 --> 01:25:56

anything. You put kufr in front of him,

01:25:56 --> 01:25:57

he'll do it.

01:25:58 --> 01:26:00

Haven't we heard of the stories my brothers

01:26:00 --> 01:26:00

and my sisters,

01:26:01 --> 01:26:05

of men who were told to apostate by

01:26:05 --> 01:26:06

the ladies that they ran into?

01:26:08 --> 01:26:08

Right?

01:26:09 --> 01:26:10

One thing led to another,

01:26:11 --> 01:26:13

and he eventually ended up apostating because of

01:26:13 --> 01:26:14

a woman.

01:26:14 --> 01:26:16

That is simply behavior.

01:26:17 --> 01:26:17

Right?

01:26:19 --> 01:26:20

I show to my brothers,

01:26:21 --> 01:26:22

and my sisters,

01:26:23 --> 01:26:26

One thing can lead to another. Don't look

01:26:26 --> 01:26:29

at how minor the sin is. Look at

01:26:29 --> 01:26:30

who you are disobeying.

01:26:34 --> 01:26:36

Look at the greatness of who you are

01:26:36 --> 01:26:38

disobeying, my brothers and my sisters.

01:26:38 --> 01:26:40

Think about it like that.

01:26:44 --> 01:26:45

Sheikh Abu Bakr mentioned that one of the

01:26:45 --> 01:26:48

methods of success is uniting under a leader.

01:26:48 --> 01:26:50

Is there anything we can do to facilitate

01:26:51 --> 01:26:53

this outcome for the future? Says,

01:26:59 --> 01:26:59

Allah

01:27:00 --> 01:27:03

says unite upon the rope of Allah and

01:27:03 --> 01:27:04

do not disunite.

01:27:05 --> 01:27:08

The thing is many people read this ayah

01:27:08 --> 01:27:10

and they skip or they overlook

01:27:12 --> 01:27:13

So they read it as

01:27:17 --> 01:27:20

They read Unite and don't disunite.

01:27:21 --> 01:27:23

And they forget the main part of the

01:27:23 --> 01:27:25

ayah. And so they begin to question themselves.

01:27:26 --> 01:27:27

Why is the Ummah

01:27:27 --> 01:27:28

disunited?

01:27:29 --> 01:27:31

Why is there a lot of discussion and

01:27:31 --> 01:27:33

a lot of disagreement and so on? Allah

01:27:33 --> 01:27:34

said,

01:27:34 --> 01:27:35

get together.

01:27:36 --> 01:27:38

But they forget to observe what Allah commanded

01:27:39 --> 01:27:40

us to get together upon.

01:27:41 --> 01:27:43

And the thing that we're supposed to get

01:27:43 --> 01:27:47

together upon and this is how unity that

01:27:47 --> 01:27:49

is pleasing to Allah will be achieved

01:27:50 --> 01:27:53

is that everyone gets together upon the rope

01:27:53 --> 01:27:54

of Allah.

01:27:54 --> 01:27:56

And the rope of Allah

01:27:56 --> 01:27:57

is the Quran

01:27:58 --> 01:28:00

and the authentic hadith of the Messenger

01:28:02 --> 01:28:05

according to the understanding of the best generations,

01:28:05 --> 01:28:07

which are the first 3 generations.

01:28:08 --> 01:28:11

If every believer respected that

01:28:12 --> 01:28:13

and went to that,

01:28:14 --> 01:28:16

that is how Unity is automatically

01:28:17 --> 01:28:18

achieved without any effort.

01:28:19 --> 01:28:22

That's how it's achieved. And that makes perfect

01:28:22 --> 01:28:25

logical sense in everything else worldly that we

01:28:25 --> 01:28:27

do. Imagine I give you this example. Imagine

01:28:27 --> 01:28:29

there's a building. Right?

01:28:29 --> 01:28:31

Let's say, Microsoft, the building.

01:28:32 --> 01:28:34

Brothers in the corner, please brothers.

01:28:34 --> 01:28:36

Brothers in the corner, kindly,

01:28:36 --> 01:28:39

I said this 3, 4 times. The shirk

01:28:39 --> 01:28:41

is quoting verses, and we are speaking over

01:28:41 --> 01:28:41

him.

01:28:42 --> 01:28:44

Right? Allah said in the Quran,

01:28:47 --> 01:28:48

And nabi.

01:28:52 --> 01:28:54

And tak about the American.

01:28:54 --> 01:28:56

Don't raise your voice over the voice of

01:28:56 --> 01:28:58

the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

01:28:59 --> 01:29:01

A hadith is being quoted and you're raising

01:29:01 --> 01:29:02

your voice.

01:29:02 --> 01:29:04

It could be the reason why your actions

01:29:04 --> 01:29:05

are nullified.

01:29:05 --> 01:29:08

You go home without any water today.

01:29:09 --> 01:29:10

And then you have the Quran, my brothers

01:29:10 --> 01:29:11

and my sisters.

01:29:12 --> 01:29:14

Assalamu alaikha. Please brothers, if you want to

01:29:14 --> 01:29:14

talk,

01:29:15 --> 01:29:16

any any

01:29:16 --> 01:29:17

go outside inshallah

01:29:18 --> 01:29:20

while we finish up, and then you can

01:29:20 --> 01:29:21

speak as much as you want.

01:29:22 --> 01:29:23

Sorry, Shah.

01:29:24 --> 01:29:27

We were giving an example. Imagine there is

01:29:27 --> 01:29:30

a building and a company. It's owned. This

01:29:30 --> 01:29:31

building is owned by Microsoft.

01:29:32 --> 01:29:34

And there's many employees in there, a 1000

01:29:34 --> 01:29:35

employees.

01:29:36 --> 01:29:37

And there is a book, a legislation.

01:29:38 --> 01:29:40

This is a book, a manual that is

01:29:40 --> 01:29:42

distributed and given to every employee.

01:29:43 --> 01:29:45

He reads it. He understands it. It tells

01:29:45 --> 01:29:47

them how this company operates,

01:29:48 --> 01:29:49

how it moves forward.

01:29:50 --> 01:29:52

What would happen? What do you think would

01:29:52 --> 01:29:54

happen if every single employee had his own

01:29:54 --> 01:29:55

understanding

01:29:55 --> 01:29:58

and wanted to understand what's written in the

01:29:58 --> 01:29:59

book on his own accord?

01:29:59 --> 01:30:02

There will be no unity for this Microsoft,

01:30:03 --> 01:30:04

and it will be destroyed. It will be

01:30:04 --> 01:30:05

disunited.

01:30:05 --> 01:30:06

Everyone will run away.

01:30:07 --> 01:30:10

And as a result, the company itself will

01:30:10 --> 01:30:11

not be able to move forward.

01:30:11 --> 01:30:14

Draw a parallel from this example and this

01:30:14 --> 01:30:16

is what we're saying. Al Islam is this

01:30:16 --> 01:30:16

building

01:30:17 --> 01:30:18

and this is a lot more than a

01:30:18 --> 01:30:20

building for us. It's the foundation of our

01:30:20 --> 01:30:21

relationship with Allah

01:30:22 --> 01:30:24

That's what Al Islam is.

01:30:24 --> 01:30:26

And we're all members in this deen. All

01:30:26 --> 01:30:29

of us are members of this deen. And

01:30:29 --> 01:30:29

Allah

01:30:30 --> 01:30:32

has given us a manual, a book

01:30:32 --> 01:30:35

and the best 3 generations have exhausted their

01:30:35 --> 01:30:38

efforts in giving us the correct and authentic

01:30:39 --> 01:30:42

understanding of this book. So if every member

01:30:42 --> 01:30:42

in Islam

01:30:43 --> 01:30:45

opened the Quran or sunnah, tried to understand

01:30:46 --> 01:30:47

that the way he wants,

01:30:47 --> 01:30:49

how do you think that everyone will be

01:30:49 --> 01:30:51

united with each other? If it couldn't happen

01:30:51 --> 01:30:54

with a simple building in a company, it

01:30:54 --> 01:30:56

will not happen among us. So what's the

01:30:56 --> 01:30:58

right thing to do? The right thing to

01:30:58 --> 01:31:00

do is to go back to Al Quran

01:31:00 --> 01:31:01

was Sunnah

01:31:02 --> 01:31:04

according to the understanding of the best of

01:31:04 --> 01:31:05

generations,

01:31:06 --> 01:31:08

then wherever you are in the world, I

01:31:08 --> 01:31:10

will see you and we both agree upon

01:31:10 --> 01:31:12

our deen. And this is automatically

01:31:13 --> 01:31:15

how unity is achieved.

01:31:16 --> 01:31:17

You, sir.

01:31:18 --> 01:31:20

Next question. How do we gain the discipline

01:31:20 --> 01:31:23

required to stay consistent in need naseem or

01:31:23 --> 01:31:26

taking up a good deed as motivation is

01:31:26 --> 01:31:26

only temporary?

01:31:29 --> 01:31:30

My brothers and my sisters, this is a

01:31:30 --> 01:31:31

very deep topic.

01:31:31 --> 01:31:33

I advise you all to buy that book

01:31:33 --> 01:31:36

called The Spiritual Sickness and Its Cure.

01:31:36 --> 01:31:38

This really helps by Ibn Taym. I probably

01:31:38 --> 01:31:41

said this the 10th time now, since I've

01:31:41 --> 01:31:42

been here in Sydney, by Ibn Taym

01:31:43 --> 01:31:44

past 20 years, 751.

01:31:46 --> 01:31:47

You can find it in Dar al Salam.

01:31:47 --> 01:31:48

They have a

01:31:49 --> 01:31:50

that recently visited.

01:31:51 --> 01:31:51

Right?

01:31:51 --> 01:31:53

Owned by Sheikh Farhan's brother.

01:31:54 --> 01:31:55

I'm not getting paid to say this, and

01:31:55 --> 01:31:57

I'm not getting royalties, my brothers and my

01:31:57 --> 01:32:00

sisters. Allah, this Kitab is amazing.

01:32:01 --> 01:32:03

It honestly changed my perspective on a lot

01:32:03 --> 01:32:04

of things. I will go as far as

01:32:04 --> 01:32:05

saying it changed my life.

01:32:07 --> 01:32:09

Was teaching us this in the prophet's masjid.

01:32:10 --> 01:32:12

If I can give you something very, some

01:32:12 --> 01:32:14

something quickly that is practical.

01:32:15 --> 01:32:17

If there is a sin

01:32:17 --> 01:32:19

that you are addicted to,

01:32:19 --> 01:32:21

that you're really struggling with,

01:32:22 --> 01:32:24

this has helped many people.

01:32:25 --> 01:32:26

Right?

01:32:26 --> 01:32:29

Whenever you fall back into that addiction, my

01:32:29 --> 01:32:30

brothers and my sisters get up,

01:32:32 --> 01:32:33

go and make wudu,

01:32:33 --> 01:32:35

and then pray Toraqaat.

01:32:37 --> 01:32:39

Like you're doing all these acts of worship,

01:32:39 --> 01:32:41

you think the devil wants you to do

01:32:41 --> 01:32:41

that?

01:32:42 --> 01:32:42

Right.

01:32:44 --> 01:32:46

It's heavy on the devil my brothers and

01:32:46 --> 01:32:46

my sisters.

01:32:47 --> 01:32:50

And it will come across to you as

01:32:50 --> 01:32:52

well as something very very heavy as well,

01:32:52 --> 01:32:54

and hard to do. Very simple.

01:32:55 --> 01:32:56

Do you not go to the toilet all

01:32:56 --> 01:32:58

the time to relieve yourself?

01:32:59 --> 01:33:02

Right? You struggle to keep that in. You're

01:33:02 --> 01:33:04

struggling likewise now my brother with that sin,

01:33:04 --> 01:33:05

it's weighing you down.

01:33:07 --> 01:33:07

Right?

01:33:08 --> 01:33:10

It's weighing you down my brothers and my

01:33:10 --> 01:33:11

sisters.

01:33:11 --> 01:33:14

Go into the bathroom, make wudu, and when

01:33:14 --> 01:33:15

you make that wudu, do we not know

01:33:15 --> 01:33:17

from the hadith of the Prophet

01:33:17 --> 01:33:20

the sins start coming out of your limbs.

01:33:22 --> 01:33:25

You're seeking forgiveness. You're showing Allah most importantly,

01:33:25 --> 01:33:27

that you really badly want to,

01:33:28 --> 01:33:29

want to overcome this addiction.

01:33:30 --> 01:33:31

Then you pray Surakat.

01:33:31 --> 01:33:32

Messenger

01:33:32 --> 01:33:35

said, Never does an individual after committing a

01:33:35 --> 01:33:37

sin, make does it properly, and then pray

01:33:37 --> 01:33:40

Surakat, except Allah will forgive his sin. It's

01:33:40 --> 01:33:42

only a matter of time before you overcome

01:33:42 --> 01:33:44

that addiction. Take this from me my brothers

01:33:44 --> 01:33:46

and my sisters. That's something practical I can

01:33:46 --> 01:33:48

advise you with. If it's an addiction now

01:33:48 --> 01:33:51

that you've become so indulged and attached,

01:33:51 --> 01:33:54

right, and addicted to, try that.

01:33:56 --> 01:33:58

Just to add something small in commentary of

01:33:58 --> 01:33:59

this hadith.

01:33:59 --> 01:34:01

Sheikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyir said

01:34:02 --> 01:34:05

that these two prayers or t two raka'at

01:34:05 --> 01:34:07

that you will offer after sin

01:34:07 --> 01:34:10

may be prayed any time of the day

01:34:10 --> 01:34:13

and the night even in times in where

01:34:13 --> 01:34:14

it is prohibited to pray.

01:34:15 --> 01:34:17

So if it was after salatul Asr for

01:34:17 --> 01:34:19

example, and you know this is a time

01:34:19 --> 01:34:22

that is prohibited to pray, and a person

01:34:22 --> 01:34:23

fell into a sin,

01:34:24 --> 01:34:27

Then you made wobo afterwards and you stood

01:34:27 --> 01:34:28

and you offered 2 raka'at.

01:34:29 --> 01:34:31

This is voluntary. It is haram to pray

01:34:31 --> 01:34:33

at this time. But for the one who

01:34:33 --> 01:34:35

does it after the sin, prays the 2

01:34:35 --> 01:34:37

raka'at, it is permissible.

01:34:37 --> 01:34:39

You may pray it. What does that mean?

01:34:39 --> 01:34:42

It teaches you and I the mercy of

01:34:42 --> 01:34:42

Allah

01:34:43 --> 01:34:45

upon the believer is that it he does

01:34:45 --> 01:34:47

not want to leave him dirty with that

01:34:47 --> 01:34:49

sin for a long time.

01:34:49 --> 01:34:51

So the door opened and you are encouraged

01:34:51 --> 01:34:54

to pray it even in the prohibited time.

01:34:54 --> 01:34:57

Then a believer cannot delay his tawbah. A

01:34:57 --> 01:34:59

believer cannot delay his tawbah.

01:35:04 --> 01:35:04

Allah

01:35:05 --> 01:35:07

says, this is a commandment of Allah

01:35:07 --> 01:35:09

and the commandment of Allah.

01:35:10 --> 01:35:12

It's understood from it that we are supposed

01:35:12 --> 01:35:14

to rush to implement it.

01:35:17 --> 01:35:19

Next question. How do we deal with free

01:35:19 --> 01:35:22

big city in the west? The question I

01:35:22 --> 01:35:25

mentioned at work and with family members. Keep

01:35:25 --> 01:35:26

away from it.

01:35:27 --> 01:35:29

Is there anything more simple than that, Ali?

01:35:31 --> 01:35:33

Brothers and sisters in Islam, if sheikh gives

01:35:33 --> 01:35:33

me permission,

01:35:34 --> 01:35:37

we keep away from al Fitr. Our deen

01:35:37 --> 01:35:39

has taught us that the best way to

01:35:39 --> 01:35:42

protect yourself from any fitna out there is

01:35:42 --> 01:35:44

to keep away from it.

01:35:45 --> 01:35:47

Absolutely keep away. Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

01:35:47 --> 01:35:48

said

01:35:50 --> 01:35:52

That the happy successful one is the one

01:35:52 --> 01:35:54

who keeps away from Al Fitim.

01:35:56 --> 01:35:58

Which is moving from the land of the

01:35:58 --> 01:36:00

disbelievers to the land of believers was only

01:36:00 --> 01:36:03

legislated so that you can run away from

01:36:03 --> 01:36:03

the fitna.

01:36:04 --> 01:36:06

So that you can move away from al

01:36:06 --> 01:36:08

fitna. Allah azza wa jal, he commands the

01:36:08 --> 01:36:09

believers,

01:36:11 --> 01:36:14

close and lower your gaze, move your gaze

01:36:14 --> 01:36:17

away from al fitna. And you will see

01:36:17 --> 01:36:17

this

01:36:17 --> 01:36:20

100 and 100 of times mentioned in the

01:36:20 --> 01:36:23

Quran and Sunnat Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

01:36:24 --> 01:36:27

Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says about a dajjal,

01:36:27 --> 01:36:29

if you saw a dajjal and that is

01:36:29 --> 01:36:33

the greatest of all fitan, he said, Whoever

01:36:33 --> 01:36:38

heard of the emergence of a Dajjal, run

01:36:39 --> 01:36:44

away from him. Once again, keeping away. So

01:36:44 --> 01:36:45

that is a practical

01:36:46 --> 01:36:48

step that you can do to save yourself

01:36:48 --> 01:36:51

from these fitters. Literally pick yourself

01:36:51 --> 01:36:54

up and walk away from it. The further

01:36:54 --> 01:36:56

away you go, the more protected you are

01:36:56 --> 01:36:58

from it. Wallahu Alam. I can add. Allah

01:36:58 --> 01:37:00

says in the Quran, my brothers and sisters,

01:37:03 --> 01:37:05

Don't come close to zina.

01:37:05 --> 01:37:07

Allah could have said,

01:37:07 --> 01:37:09

right? Don't do zina. He said, Don't come

01:37:09 --> 01:37:10

close to a zina.

01:37:11 --> 01:37:13

Anything that is going to lead you to

01:37:13 --> 01:37:13

that,

01:37:14 --> 01:37:14

and intermingling

01:37:15 --> 01:37:15

uncontrollably

01:37:16 --> 01:37:19

is definitely you coming close to it. Look

01:37:19 --> 01:37:21

at both my brothers and my sisters, we

01:37:21 --> 01:37:21

have an example

01:37:22 --> 01:37:22

for

01:37:23 --> 01:37:26

men and likewise women in the Quran, equal

01:37:26 --> 01:37:26

rights here.

01:37:41 --> 01:37:42

He approached her to give her the good

01:37:42 --> 01:37:44

news that she will have

01:37:44 --> 01:37:46

a new born called Isa.

01:37:49 --> 01:37:50

Upon seeing him,

01:37:50 --> 01:37:52

how does she react my brothers and my

01:37:52 --> 01:37:53

sisters? Did she say,

01:37:54 --> 01:37:55

come in?

01:37:56 --> 01:37:58

I've got a palm tree here.

01:38:01 --> 01:38:02

Is that what she said my brothers and

01:38:02 --> 01:38:03

my sisters?

01:38:03 --> 01:38:06

She responded immediately, and this is what you

01:38:06 --> 01:38:07

need to do when she slips into your

01:38:07 --> 01:38:08

DMs and vice versa.

01:38:14 --> 01:38:15

If you're a person of tawas, stay away

01:38:15 --> 01:38:16

from me.

01:38:17 --> 01:38:19

Sisters, tell him to get lost.

01:38:20 --> 01:38:22

And then you have the example of what

01:38:22 --> 01:38:23

Yusuf alaihis salatu wa salam.

01:38:25 --> 01:38:25

Right?

01:38:27 --> 01:38:28

She was losing her mind.

01:38:30 --> 01:38:30

Yusuf

01:38:31 --> 01:38:33

my brother was given half the beauty

01:38:34 --> 01:38:34

of mankind.

01:38:36 --> 01:38:37

Where is the other half?

01:38:38 --> 01:38:40

The rest of mankind and Mashallah can see

01:38:40 --> 01:38:42

a fair share of it here. Right?

01:38:43 --> 01:38:45

He was extremely handsome.

01:38:46 --> 01:38:48

SubhanAllah my brothers and my sisters, when she

01:38:48 --> 01:38:49

locked him in the room and she said,

01:38:49 --> 01:38:50

Hey, Talaq.

01:38:50 --> 01:38:51

Let's do it.

01:38:52 --> 01:38:55

He went running, as Sheikha Bakar mentioned. Right?

01:38:55 --> 01:38:55

You run.

01:38:56 --> 01:38:57

Same way you run from the dajjal,

01:38:58 --> 01:39:00

when you see a lion or a kangaroo,

01:39:00 --> 01:39:01

brothers and sisters,

01:39:02 --> 01:39:02

right,

01:39:04 --> 01:39:05

You run away.

01:39:07 --> 01:39:08

I heard some of your kangaroos are dangerous,

01:39:08 --> 01:39:10

that's why I use it alongside the lion.

01:39:11 --> 01:39:12

You run away my brothers and my sons,

01:39:12 --> 01:39:14

that's exactly what Yusuf Alaihi Salam done.

01:39:16 --> 01:39:18

Similar to Mariam. He saw refuge

01:39:18 --> 01:39:18

from

01:39:23 --> 01:39:25

Allah Then began to remember the favors of

01:39:25 --> 01:39:26

Allah, how can I disobey me? You've done

01:39:26 --> 01:39:28

so much for me. Allah, some said here

01:39:28 --> 01:39:29

the favors of

01:39:30 --> 01:39:30

the,

01:39:30 --> 01:39:31

Aziz.

01:39:32 --> 01:39:34

Right? And then he began to run. Run

01:39:34 --> 01:39:36

my brothers and my sisters, run.

01:39:36 --> 01:39:39

However, it must be said, you're probably wondering

01:39:39 --> 01:39:41

now, and this follow-up question is gonna come,

01:39:41 --> 01:39:42

but I'm at work, and whatever have you,

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44

this, that. I need to be in this

01:39:44 --> 01:39:44

environment,

01:39:45 --> 01:39:47

My brothers and my sisters, this is a

01:39:47 --> 01:39:49

or a Hajj. Right? It's either necessity

01:39:50 --> 01:39:51

or a dire need.

01:39:56 --> 01:39:59

If there is an exception to the general

01:39:59 --> 01:40:00

rule, you take from it that which is

01:40:00 --> 01:40:03

going to cover your needs. These are legal

01:40:03 --> 01:40:04

maxims are important.

01:40:05 --> 01:40:06

Are you guys with me?

01:40:07 --> 01:40:09

You don't go over that which is required.

01:40:09 --> 01:40:12

You needed to go to that shop. Right?

01:40:12 --> 01:40:13

You wanted to buy milk?

01:40:14 --> 01:40:14

That's it.

01:40:15 --> 01:40:18

The only question you should be asking that

01:40:18 --> 01:40:18

lady

01:40:18 --> 01:40:21

at the cashier is, where is the milk?

01:40:22 --> 01:40:25

Not how was your night? Or how did

01:40:25 --> 01:40:26

you do? And what are you going to

01:40:26 --> 01:40:27

do? La, matahtaj.

01:40:29 --> 01:40:31

Sometimes that happens. We what?

01:40:32 --> 01:40:32

Nastarsil.

01:40:33 --> 01:40:35

Who told you to ask her how her

01:40:35 --> 01:40:36

night was last night?

01:40:39 --> 01:40:41

You ask her, where's the milk? Here take

01:40:41 --> 01:40:42

the money and get out.

01:40:44 --> 01:40:47

That is what taking that which is going

01:40:47 --> 01:40:49

to cover the need for the exception to

01:40:49 --> 01:40:51

the general rule.

01:41:03 --> 01:41:04

That's your question,

01:41:07 --> 01:41:09

Shah. Ending with mosque.

01:41:09 --> 01:41:10

Tell that, Sheikh.

01:41:12 --> 01:41:14

My bar has gone down to 3%, Sheikh.

01:41:21 --> 01:41:24

Allah says, Allah said, save yourself and save

01:41:24 --> 01:41:25

your family from the fire.

01:41:27 --> 01:41:28

The answer to this question,

01:41:29 --> 01:41:30

we will find it

01:41:31 --> 01:41:33

when we comment on why Allah Azar al

01:41:33 --> 01:41:36

Majel mentioned that you should save yourself from

01:41:36 --> 01:41:38

the fire before he said to save your

01:41:38 --> 01:41:39

family from the fire.

01:41:40 --> 01:41:42

Why did Allah command me to save myself

01:41:42 --> 01:41:42

from the fire before he commanded and instructed

01:41:42 --> 01:41:42

me to save my family, wife, and children

01:41:42 --> 01:41:44

from the fire? Why?

01:41:45 --> 01:41:48

My family, wife and children from the fire.

01:41:48 --> 01:41:48

Why?

01:41:49 --> 01:41:51

Because if I am on a path that

01:41:51 --> 01:41:53

is saving me from the fire,

01:41:53 --> 01:41:56

by implementing what Allah wants, keeping away from

01:41:56 --> 01:41:57

what Allah forbid,

01:41:58 --> 01:42:00

If I'm saving myself, I've become an excellent

01:42:01 --> 01:42:03

role model and I'm in a great position

01:42:03 --> 01:42:04

to save others from the fire.

01:42:05 --> 01:42:07

Imagine I'm on a road to the fire.

01:42:07 --> 01:42:09

How can I save others from the fire?

01:42:09 --> 01:42:10

So when you ask

01:42:11 --> 01:42:13

how does a person encourage his family and

01:42:13 --> 01:42:15

so on, I say brothers and sisters, all

01:42:15 --> 01:42:18

of us fathers and mothers, look at yourself

01:42:18 --> 01:42:20

and you be the example. Because these children

01:42:21 --> 01:42:23

are not going to learn with words. They're

01:42:23 --> 01:42:25

going to learn with actions. And this is

01:42:25 --> 01:42:28

known as modeling parenting. This modeling parenting is

01:42:28 --> 01:42:31

mentioned in in books of parenting and so

01:42:31 --> 01:42:32

on. We don't need it. It's there.

01:42:33 --> 01:42:36

Save yourself. When you're on that path of

01:42:36 --> 01:42:37

pleasing Allah,

01:42:37 --> 01:42:39

those that are underneath you will look and

01:42:39 --> 01:42:41

they will follow this example.

01:42:42 --> 01:42:44

As simple as it is, you do what's

01:42:44 --> 01:42:47

right. But I tell you why it's difficult.

01:42:48 --> 01:42:51

Why is it difficult to raise children?

01:42:51 --> 01:42:53

It's not as you're thinking many think, ah,

01:42:53 --> 01:42:55

because the days we're in the West that's

01:42:55 --> 01:42:57

in us, the corruption among us and so

01:42:57 --> 01:42:59

on. But don't fool yourself and think like

01:42:59 --> 01:42:59

that.

01:43:00 --> 01:43:02

It is very difficult to raise children

01:43:02 --> 01:43:05

because you still haven't made the decision to

01:43:05 --> 01:43:05

change.

01:43:06 --> 01:43:08

So what you need to do is look

01:43:08 --> 01:43:10

at your words, observe what you speak of

01:43:10 --> 01:43:13

foul language, and start refining your words.

01:43:13 --> 01:43:15

Throw out the evil words and replace them

01:43:15 --> 01:43:17

with good words. Look at your actions.

01:43:18 --> 01:43:20

Take out the bad and leave the good.

01:43:20 --> 01:43:22

Look at your manners with others, and when

01:43:22 --> 01:43:24

you're around others and your children are with

01:43:24 --> 01:43:26

you, and the courage perhaps, you know, rage

01:43:26 --> 01:43:29

in the car, screaming, shouting at someone that

01:43:29 --> 01:43:31

overtook you for example. All of this is

01:43:31 --> 01:43:33

observed by the young children.

01:43:34 --> 01:43:36

Oh okay, so that's an acceptable manner to

01:43:36 --> 01:43:39

do when someone cuts through or takes over.

01:43:39 --> 01:43:40

And what happens?

01:43:41 --> 01:43:43

The khalos. You've passed down that kind of

01:43:44 --> 01:43:45

character and it moves forward. Yes, I'm not

01:43:45 --> 01:43:47

saying I'm an angel and we're all going

01:43:47 --> 01:43:49

to the angels. But if you said something

01:43:49 --> 01:43:50

foul,

01:43:50 --> 01:43:52

if you did something wrong, if bad manners

01:43:52 --> 01:43:55

were to appear, then it's very easy to

01:43:55 --> 01:43:58

gather your children that witnessed that and tell

01:43:58 --> 01:44:01

them your father, your mother did something wrong.

01:44:02 --> 01:44:04

We said this word and we should not

01:44:04 --> 01:44:07

say this word. Next time my children, if

01:44:07 --> 01:44:09

you hear me say such and such or

01:44:09 --> 01:44:11

doing such and such, tell me, dad, mom,

01:44:11 --> 01:44:12

this is harab.

01:44:12 --> 01:44:14

Heck, you teach them that. Now you haven't

01:44:14 --> 01:44:18

normalized this behavior. You haven't normalized these words

01:44:18 --> 01:44:18

among your family.

01:44:19 --> 01:44:21

And obviously you're implementing

01:44:21 --> 01:44:24

a salat among the family of Mu'ahelaka Rasalat.

01:44:24 --> 01:44:26

Allah says command and instruct them to ask

01:44:26 --> 01:44:28

salat. And if you do that from the

01:44:28 --> 01:44:31

age of 7 until the age of 10,

01:44:31 --> 01:44:34

every single salah, the warzib upon you is

01:44:34 --> 01:44:37

to instruct them. That's the warzib upon you.

01:44:37 --> 01:44:39

It's not warzib for him to pray. It's

01:44:39 --> 01:44:40

warzib for you to instruct.

01:44:41 --> 01:44:43

Get up to alfazr, get up to Abuhur,

01:44:43 --> 01:44:46

Al Asr, Al Magr. Get up, get up.

01:44:46 --> 01:44:48

Imagine you repeated get up to salah 5

01:44:48 --> 01:44:51

times a day from the age of 7

01:44:51 --> 01:44:52

until the age of 10.

01:44:53 --> 01:44:55

Most likely afterwards they committed on salah.

01:44:56 --> 01:44:58

But if you never did this, the age

01:44:58 --> 01:45:00

of 10 comes, you begin to ask, can

01:45:00 --> 01:45:02

I hit my child because he's not praying?

01:45:02 --> 01:45:04

Maybe you need to be lashed

01:45:05 --> 01:45:08

for not instructing them to ask Salat before

01:45:08 --> 01:45:10

that, right? So this is how we understand

01:45:10 --> 01:45:12

and it's not hitting by the way, I

01:45:12 --> 01:45:13

like to use the word discipline. Discipline

01:45:14 --> 01:45:16

your child to 'salat, so we don't get

01:45:16 --> 01:45:19

caught up anyway with the Australian media and

01:45:19 --> 01:45:20

I'd love to catch anything.

01:45:21 --> 01:45:23

Okay, so I say discipline your children to

01:45:23 --> 01:45:24

'salat,

01:45:25 --> 01:45:27

Right? It's very simple. The model Allah

01:45:27 --> 01:45:29

has drawn for us. It's perfect. All we

01:45:29 --> 01:45:31

need to do is follow Allahu'ala.

01:45:32 --> 01:45:34

Brothers and sisters, I know he's going to

01:45:34 --> 01:45:35

wrap up. I just want to say from

01:45:35 --> 01:45:36

the bottom of my heart, salaam alaykha for

01:45:36 --> 01:45:39

attending today. You know, one thing I discovered

01:45:39 --> 01:45:40

being here in Sydney,

01:45:41 --> 01:45:43

that more people are likely to turn up

01:45:43 --> 01:45:46

at an event on a weekday. If it's

01:45:46 --> 01:45:47

an evening, then a Saturday afternoon.

01:45:48 --> 01:45:50

It's the opposite in the UK.

01:45:50 --> 01:45:52

I heard you guys in Sydney don't come

01:45:52 --> 01:45:53

out of the houses

01:45:53 --> 01:45:54

before Asr.

01:45:55 --> 01:45:57

Yeah. Yeah. Subhanallah. This is something I discovered.

01:45:57 --> 01:45:59

Honestly, I was it's a Monday night, and

01:45:59 --> 01:46:00

you guys all made the effort to sit

01:46:01 --> 01:46:02

in front of this.

01:46:03 --> 01:46:05

May Allah bless every single one of you.

01:46:05 --> 01:46:06

I love you all for the sake of

01:46:06 --> 01:46:08

Allah. All life has been a wonderful experience.

01:46:08 --> 01:46:09

This is my last program.

01:46:09 --> 01:46:11

While on our way to Perth tomorrow morning.

01:46:11 --> 01:46:14

Masha'Allah. Keep making dua for us inshallah.

01:46:14 --> 01:46:14

Yes.

01:46:15 --> 01:46:17

This is the duas that we need more

01:46:17 --> 01:46:18

than anything else.

01:46:19 --> 01:46:21

And I love you all again. For the

01:46:21 --> 01:46:23

sake of Allah. If Allah does not reunite

01:46:23 --> 01:46:25

us in the highest part of the jinnah

01:46:26 --> 01:46:28

sorry. If Allah does not reunite us here

01:46:29 --> 01:46:30

in this world

01:46:30 --> 01:46:33

or here in Sydney or Lebanon. Right?

01:46:33 --> 01:46:34

May Allah

01:46:34 --> 01:46:36

reunite us in the highest part of the

01:46:36 --> 01:46:36

jinnah.
