on a Sunday ala Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a
slider Fulwiler Amin Shala as we commence this new program the hot
topics. We wanted to start by a short citation by our chef
Mohammed Salim in sha Allah from the words of Allah azza wa jal.

Masha Allah Baraka Luffy Allah azza wa jal bless her reward our
young party.
I message our young brother yesterday Muhammad and asked him
to recite the book of Allah subhanaw taala, as we were opening
this gathering, and that is because of my brothers and my
sisters, I wanted the people to know that it is the practice of
the companions to open gatherings with the speech of Allah subhanaw
taala. Unfortunately, not so long ago, it was spread that apparently
reciting the book of Allah subhanho wa taala, when opening a
gathering or when opening a conference is a deviant practice,
not as efficient.
And this is what happens Subhanallah when you don't do a
well, academic research on certain Messiah and I think we can take a
lesson from this. Sometimes what happens because we don't have
knowledge on maybe a certain something, we quickly do a Google
search, and we come across one article. And in that one article,
and I assume that this is exactly what was done, because there were
two chefs that were quoted when saying that this is a practice
that is a bid, or is a practice of a deviant group and whatever have
you. So some of the Shabbat we're asking a lot of questions to start
a gathering with the speech of Allah azza wa jal is something
that is haram.
Some brothers were messaging and then I watched the video
Subhanallah and I was absolutely astonished to actually see this
being spread and mentioned today. So of course, I checked it up.
Check it out Athenian Rahmatullah Alayhi. He says that this is a bit
and of course Jakob, Northumbria Muhammad, Allah, Allah He, he's
our scholar, someone that we highly respect. Likewise, the chef
of Bukhara was eight. He said that this is not a practice that is in
line with the Sunnah. However, my brothers and my sisters, right
with all due respect to our dilemma and our Messiah, if we
come across evidences from the Quran and the Sunnah, right? We
have to take the Hadith, right Subhanallah later on. I was making
it very clear for some of the brothers that there is a narration
Canada's herbal Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
A that's tomorrow.
Whenever they would get together my brothers and my sisters to
their Corolla, they would revise knowledge with one another. Were
Cara Oh surah and they would also recite some Quran.
There's other fatawa as Oh like SHA Salah headphone haveto Allah
to Allah, He will say that the prophets Allah Allah He was
selling with us Abu Musa luxury to start a gathering or something
along lines of reading Quran in a gathering of the Messiah
Subhanallah they will do the same practice as well. Like chef salah,
and Jose me, one of our scholars will do the exact same thing. A
chef from home Matata, Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanti Shanthi
likewise, Chef Abdul Aziz, the members Rahmatullah Allah when he
was asked, he said, You know, I don't see an issue with this,
right alongside other things that he mentioned. So it's important at
times, my brothers and my sisters when
we come across certain Messiah that we dig deep, we do a well,
academic research, right, before spewing out certain information,
fueling speculation about others who might be carrying out this
particular practice and now you have Subhanallah brothers going
around saying that this is some whiny thing, man as if he did,
even though Subhanallah Sahaba they done it. Why would someone do
that? Why would someone say that Allah is a mystery to me, and this
only shows right lack of in depth research. In fact, brothers and
sisters we should be extra careful in how we go about you know,
dealing with these kinds of issues, alarm stan for them. But I
just wanted to you know, I asked him to read so, it becomes a very
well known thing, Inshallah, to Allah, that this is the Sunnah.
This is something that that companions done, instead of going
around oppressing others or attributing to them that which
they are free from
political love you certain May Allah reward you and Inshallah, as
we are starting this program, the idea behind the hot topics is that
discuss questions that some people feel a bit shy or awkward to ask
or maybe not even have the platform. The messages, social
media and the messages, phone and email addresses always gets
overburdened by questions and people that have things that they
want to ask the handler every week, we are going to have a guest
that is going to come and show off to Salah to Russia on a Friday and
answer the questions that I put forth. The handler I think we were
due to start two weeks ago with all star the chef Abu Samah have a
lot of law but he was unable to and we have our star studded
Potamia to start us off inshallah and we ask Allah azza wa jal to
make this a means of clarification and a means of guidance for our
Shabaab for the Ummah as a whole. All of these questions can be
answered to the best of our ability. Starting, I wanted to ask
for a different route, about the topic of seeking knowledge, as we
know started with me is someone that we love and frequently
visited visits or somewhere else Colossian to give him the health
and the ability and the continuity to continue Sharla and this could
work, Michelle, you've practiced or you've gone through the path of
seeking knowledge through multiple, multiple avenues. You've
gone to Egypt to Yemen, to Saudi most recently to the University of
Medina. And I wanted to ask, is it better to stick to one source of
knowledge? Or is it better to go through all of these different
avenues?
Handing out a blog Amin or Sally or selama Liberty Rahmatullah
Alameen path or lauscha hidden ambition on manera or there is a
lie bedni was Rajan monniera. One of the benefits my brothers and my
sister I took from going to different places and sitting with
different Messiah different Allama as some of the scholars of the
past would say, either Arata and Tarifa Hatha Sheikh Faisal is
raidho if you want to know the mistake of your scholar, or the
chef, or the person that teaches you, then go and sit with someone
else, go and sit with another teacher, another chef, perhaps he
will give you a perspective that you may not necessarily have come
across before, that doesn't mean Subhanallah that we are now going
to speak bad about our shoe, our teachers that taught us hasha This
is not good manners. However, at least you come out of that narrow
mindedness. Seeing something may be in a particular way. Right. So
certain things Subhanallah that my Messiah taught me when I was in in
Yemen, which I really appreciate, and I respect them for and then
Subhanallah I went to Saudi Arabia in Medina, I would come across
some of the fatawa of my other Messiah other lemma that may be
looked at things in a different way. Does that mean hello so I'm
gonna throw all of my shoe in the bin LA. Right. However, it gives
you a different perspective. Right? This is why even Subhan
Allah Now the issue that I was speaking about, about reading
Quran when opening a gathering or a ceremony, if you just come
across maybe what you're
Check set and then you run with it. Maybe your share is wrong in
this particular issue. So it's important to maybe like broaden
out, instead of just looking at it with that particular lens. Right?
And you will increase in knowledge as well, you'll increase in the
perspective that you look through. Right, even Subhanallah Ignatova
Rahmatullah he or even I am one of them. They would say, Cool lemma,
Tessa Elmo, it Tessa otra Moto, the more you increase in
knowledge, the more merciful you will become. Right, the more
tolerant you will become. Does that make sense to my brothers and
my sisters, so it's beautiful, you know, when you go to different
she'll, the scholars of the past, they would go to one city, maybe
they'll go to Baghdad, they'll take all of the knowledge from
that, then they'll go somewhere else. Right? And that just widens
and broadens their understanding of things. So that's maybe one of
the benefits that I could mention with why it's important at times
to maybe go to different places I don't think actually chose just
like that. I'm gonna when I'm done here, I'm gonna go there. He just
happened that hamdulillah and, you know, we took different benefits
from the
On a personal note, which one did you prefer?
Whether I prefer Medina or Yemen or Egypt?
I don't think that's a good question. Is it guys? He's asking
you about El Medina, comparing Medina to anywhere else. Yemen
taught me discipline, right? We lived in a village brothers and
sisters.
Right? It wasn't all glamorous, as many people may think it was
really, really tough brothers and sisters, even though Subhanallah I
want to take my daughter or daughter's her to a place like
Yemen or to like a third world country so they can become
disciplined. So they can appreciate that which you might
take for granted. Running water brothers and sisters. Do we even
sometimes look at it as a blessing. We then have that in
addition,
we will get water maybe once?
No, not even once a day, it would be twice or
every two days we might get water or every three days we might get
waters Pamela. How was a tough life. I lived in a mud house in
between mountains. And we wanted the internet you didn't have what
we have today you would have to go to an internet cafe. And even the
internet cafe runs on a generator
Subhanallah and sometimes there is no water you have to go to the
masjid and you have to carry right so over there there was
discipline. When I came to Medina, I remember
a brother that I really benefited a lot from a brother that I really
benefited a lot from my brothers and my sisters.
I even studied with him. When he took me to the dorms in El Medina,
he said abou Tamia, I really, really think that you're going to
struggle.
Because you know, you have to share bathrooms over there, right?
I said, Yeah, we have running electricity. We have running
water. We didn't have that in Yemen. Right? So that really
taught me a lot of discipline. Right? It trained me to appreciate
the little things that we overlook. But of course, as
Chicago sama mentioned last time around in the panel discussion
that we had
the sweetest days of my life was when I went to El Medina, hula had
the sweetest days to go back and forth from the Haramain McCann and
Medina. To study with the scholars over there in the prophets, Allah
Allah with some of the masjid is something that cannot be put into
words, right? It really cannot be put into words and I absolutely
loved it. I really really did and ask Allah subhanaw taala to give
me another opportunity to go back to the Holy Lands me me and to all
of you guys as well may Allah Azza take you're there
chatting before you went to on this journey of these different
countries you grew up like a lot of us here in the UK. And you
notice in some of the rough areas in London, let's say even that for
people growing up in these areas, it's sometimes a choice or almost
like a life that gets decided based on moments between luck as
we see a lot of mashallah the Hodor here. Brothers are regulars
at the masjid brothers that have filed in May Allah bless them or
reward them. And someone that just like we've had a couple of days
ago someone was stabbed in the streets of Manchester and this
becoming a regular occurrence. So what advice do you have for the
youth to maybe
almost guide their way into a life of obedience to Allah azza wa jal
you know, I just gave a lecture at Manchester University. Right at
the beginning of the lecture. I gave
Five things are five points to really hold on to five points that
will inshallah to Allah keep us steadfast. Right.
You can find these five points in a lecture that was recently
released on my YouTube channel is called how to boost your iman.
Right or how to raise your Eman, something like that. My brothers
and my sisters when I look back at my life, because it wasn't all
rosy, right? Because once upon a time I used to live in London, and
it was not a good place to live in. I even made a joke last time
around. We had helicopters chasing us at times. And I want to I don't
want to go into exactly why they were doing that. But that was the
case and then I hid in one of the messages in Finsbury Park
Elia hidden in the library, stayed there for a couple of hours and
then I ran home.
I asked myself the question, what is it that may be contributed to
us being distant from Allah azza wa jal
and then I put it down to a couple of points. One of them was we
didn't have a masjid that was close to us. You had to take a
bus. Right? It was pretty far. Right? The point that I made at
the university today was to stay close to the house of Allah, Allah
subhanho wa taala. Honestly, some of the brothers that are being
produced from this message it honestly is so heartwarming, how
far their art, right? They are learning different sciences, that
honestly my brothers and my sisters brings a believer a lot of
joy. Stay in close to the house of Allah subhanho wa Taala I heard a
Kuwaiti chef one time Mention not 10s not hundreds, but rather in
their 1000s of people who fell off because they disconnected
themselves from the house of Allah azza wa jal, right.
When I went to Leicester, subhanAllah, there was a lot more
Islam because a lot of the Indians and the Pakistanis, they came in
the 1950s, I believe. And they did a huge job in Leicester. They
established many mosques. Right? So the mosque is just right next
to your house, literally around the corner. Right. And you're
always going back and forth is very hard to avoid the masjid in
London is a different story to most people, right? And
subhanAllah being close to the masjid you always hear about Islam
you always hear about Iman, it's a good vibe my brothers and my
sisters. So this Shabaab that wants to stay steadfast and
upright. I suggest you have a relationship with the house of
Allah azza wa jal last time around when we had the sitting in the
restaurant was it called the one on not radon, the other one there
was all the Shabaab there. And some of them they said Subhanallah
we started coming to the masjid and we would find brother who was
the brother's name that went to Egypt. Mohamed Ahmed, Mohamed
dimer Kesennuma hammer, the hammer, young brother, who will
always find him in the masjid, we would mix with him. And
subhanAllah some of the Brothers live has began to take a turn for
the better.
Right? When I heard that, that really really brothers and sisters
touched my heart. In the masjid you find good people, you find
righteous companions. Right? So stay close to the house of Allah
azza wa jal alongside the other four points. One of the other
points that I mentioned was beneficial knowledge brothers and
sisters. Many people think that you only seek knowledge if you
want to become a scholar, or if you want to become the next chef
Muhammad Ali. The next chef surveyed are giving Modbus that's
not the only time when you seek knowledge. I mentioned this in a
heartbeat today. The universities that we take our children to, they
have become breeding grounds for CO for shared feminism,
liberalism, and very colorful things right. It's become a
breeding ground for it. They are being exposed to doubts, we have
to seek knowledge brothers and sisters, that knowledge, right
that we equip ourselves gives us the tools to repel the doubts the
Shubo hat and the temptations and whatever have you right and this
is what you normally find in the house of Allah azza wa jal right.
Would you not agree with that in the house of Allah? Parents need
to be studying us we need to be studying our children need to be
studying, even if it is a little bit every single day. Right.
Monica Lafi said I will Tamia or at
I want to ask you about another 80 and rotate. And you've seen the
news surrounding him. I'm Muslim sometimes I've always loved to
react in extremes. Some Muslims love to react in extremes. How
should Muslims react to this news? By the way guys, I'm the real ATF
and reduce the cost to
The question and it's a very hot topic. At this moment in time a
lot of people are speaking about the Islam of Andrew Tate. Is he
really a Muslim?
Or maybe Is he a hypocrite? This is what some of the feminists are
coming out and saying all over Twitter, right? You shouldn't
judge a book by its cover SubhanAllah.
Alongside a lot of that, which we see happening on social media, my
brothers and my sisters, is due to lack of knowledge. Right? First
and foremost, I want to say a million Welcome to our brother
Andrew teeth for coming to an exam. It is something that makes
any believer happy someone now embracing Islam. This man was the
most searched human being almost search name on Google. Imagine
that. He had 11 billion views just on tick tock. I don't think
there's that many people walking on the face of this earth they had
11 billion views, because of how many people are watching him
Subhanallah and how many times it was being watched? Right. So it
does bring us happiness. It really, really does.
However, I think there are some important points that need to be
mentioned.
First and foremost, how should we treat him? Should we treat him
like a hypocrite? Or should we treat him like a Muslim? We as
believers, my brothers and my sisters, Islam teaches us to judge
people from what is apparent, as the rumor mill hottub Radi Allahu
taala. And who mentioned?
I don't think anyone has opened up his heart to check as to whether
he's really a Muslim or not, or whether he is a disbeliever. He
just judge with what is apparent, right? It's IG. These feminists,
they always come out and they say, leave her alone. Right? You don't
know what's in her heart.
She's probably extremely pious. Right? Don't be judgmental. But
now mashallah, they all came out.
Absolutely annihilating him. We judge from what is apparent,
right, we judge from what is apparent by another important
point, my brothers and my sisters, a lot of the Shabaab they've been
messaging me the reason why they've been messaging me,
messaging me is because it was in this message, right? That we spoke
about some of the bad things that Andrew Tate in the past was
propagating it. It was in the federal reflection, the video on
YouTube with over 200,000 views, right, and small clips of it was
put on Tiktok and Instagram, and he got millions of views. Right.
And he was speaking about the wrong things that he was
propagating. Right. So now a lot of brothers are messaging me
saying, has your view changed? Should we take knowledge from him
now?
So hello, man, are you sure you take knowledge from him? This is
not something that is specific to Andrew T. The guys, let me ask you
guys a question. Someone who has now become a Muslim. Now, any
river does become a Muslim? Would anyone in his right mind go into
that person? Hmm. Give me some knowledge. Would anybody do that?
Come on, guys.
I think that's pretty obvious. That is pretty obvious. Right? We
ask Allah subhana wa Tala. To keep him steadfast. What we keep seeing
is absolutely shocking. We even came across some posts Subhanallah
where feminists were saying, if he becomes a Muslim, then I'm going
to leave the religion of Islam.
Brothers and sisters, this is not a light matter. Some of the things
that comes out the feminist month will lie he is borderline COFRA
times and sometimes they have actually fallen to Cofer. They are
flirting with Cooper guys. Feminism has become an ideology
that is ruining many of our daughters Subhanallah even though
they might not necessarily
profile as a feminist, but the views have creeped in.
It is a disease honestly, is honestly a disease when you think
about it, right? Am I a Vanguard? Am I someone my brothers and my
sisters who is standing at the gates of Islam, allowing him to
add Islam who I want and stopping who I want law. We say brothers
and sisters, what the prophets Allah it was some said
Al Islam. Yeah, Maha blah, right. When you become a Muslim, what
does he do? It erases everything that you did prior to Islam. Does
that make sense? My brothers and my sisters, he became a Muslim and
everything before that inshallah to ALLAH is forgiven.
Does that make sense? However,
if there is help or a bad or the rights of the people that he has
taken, then he has to repent to Allah subhana
Know what Allah firstly, and secondly as to give the people's
rights back. But that's not a condition in order for one's Islam
to be accepted some of these feminists, they're making it look
like no until he stops everything, only then his asylum is accepted
or Elizabeth Allah, wa the Colombian bottle.
If you have major sins and then you accept Islam, shallow Tatyana
are Muslim, but you also have to repent from these things. But that
doesn't mean if you don't stop these things, then you are not a
Muslim. So we have to look at things in a balanced way brothers
and sisters. Right. BarakAllahu li calm. I hope that answers the
question. Chef Muhammad Ali wanted me to speak about this in the
federal reflection. But I told him, I didn't get a visa. I didn't
get a visa from my wife. So I have to go back tonight. It's for the
bulk Luffy. Probably the most popular question and we've got
asked this numerous times is about taking out a student loan to go to
university. Is this allowed? If not, what is the alternative?
Should we do it? Should I drop out of university? The question came
in a multitude of forms. But the essence of the question is all
student loans allowed?
Hot Africa.
I've been going around a lot of the universities I think so far
I've been to 23 or 24. And we still have another four left. And
today with Manchester University, just about every university I go
to they asked me this question. My brothers and my sisters.
The issue of student loans, right, it's a matter that concerns
perhaps 4.1 million Muslims across the UK. It is not right for Abu
Tamia to come here and give a fatwa.
How many Muslims in Europe 24 million million Muslims, I
believe. And I will tell him it's going to come
whether he studied 10 years or 15 years or 20 years, and then he
himself is going to give a fit to ah, that is unacceptable. I
honestly believe if Omar sobre la Mata Alana was alive, he would
gather the participants of whether he would seek their advice and
then give this fatwa. It's a big matter.
Right, it requires a panel of scholars and people have
knowledge, right? People of intellect, people of Libra have
expertise to sit down on this matter. And then to issue an
Islamic verdict. However, brothers and sisters, I will tell you
something.
I did a two hour webinar for
a sister who was doing her master's in Darby University. So
her and her brother, they joined the webinar, and she wanted to
know the pros and the cons. And as to whether this is Bayer Modaraba
or not, and whatever have you.
I gave her a two hour break down on this issue. Right. And then
hamdulillah she got her Master's. And of course, she had to consult
others as well. Her thesis was what is the position of the
scholars of Leicester on the issue of student finance. And of course,
I'm not a scholar, but you know, she was just asking for a
breakdown on issues.
I gave her a two hour webinar, I researched the matter, right, and
then gave the pros and the cons alternatives as well, without
giving an Islamic verdict.
She ended up getting a first
Subhanallah I said to myself, I'm helping people get mastered and I
don't have a masters myself, her. And she was even praised by the
mayor of Dobby. Right and commended for her critical
thinking. Right? And then they asked I think to give a speech in
front of the mail or something like that. I luckily, * two
hour webinar, I went into this issue right in depth. And without
going into everything my brothers and my sisters, right. One thing
that we established is that there are alternatives.
Whether you take the view that is for or against I'm not even going
to go into that one thing that the scholars agree is that this is a
riba based loan. It's an interest based loan.
However, I've had scholars mentioned is it my goal now
for everyone to not go to university.
So they will, you know, try to come from a different angle, even
one of our Messiah and let's start in front of me and I was a
translator he said, I asked one chefs in Saudi Arabia Chatterjee
Breen, I'm not a Djiboutian when he was alive, and he said they
could take it. I was a translator, and I felt extremely uncomfortable
translating that, but Allah Cooley *, you know, there is Kalam
amongst the scholars. Right? I'm not giving a for or against.
However, I will say the following, right? That there are
alternatives. Many students are coming up to me saying I just
don't feel good. I feel like something. Right? Is not right.
While I'm here studying with the student loan, this is the brother
telling me this is FITARA speaking, or his consciousness
speaking, what I can say Brother and says there are alternatives.
There are alternatives. What are the alternatives? Do you have to
now finish university in three years? Is that a delora? Is that a
necessity? No, it's not. There are many that I know who finished
university in five years, they do it part time, and in between, they
are working.
Right? They are working.
Allahu Akbar. And they're paying it off as they are studying.
And Subhan Allah, Allah of the alternative is that I provided for
the sister and her brother. I took it from the kuffaar imagina. They
themselves don't want to take the loan. One of them is crowdfunding.
The day suggested another my brothers and my sisters is
lifespan live in completely cross my mind. I know some Somali
families especially they moved to Glasgow. I met them recently when
I went even a Sri Lankan family from Leicester. He moved his old
family to Glasgow, why? Because we don't we don't want to take the
student loan.
Right. So there are alternatives. There definitely is who said it's
a must that you have to finish university in three years. Right?
That's more of something that you desire. So here
the alternative is that you could want work in between, and then
finish it maybe at a later date. Right, and you still won't fall
behind in life brothers and sisters. It took me six years in
Medina Subhanallah, I finished the same time when some of my other
good friends finished.
Right? There thing got dragged out.
So there are different alternatives that could, you know,
be looked at. When it comes to this. I personally, this was just
a personal decision. I'm not enforcing upon anyone. And I'm not
telling anyone to drop out of university in any way, shape, or
form. When I went to university,
I said to myself, if it comes down to me having to take this loan,
I'm not going to take it this is my view. I don't want to do it.
I applied to four universities, Dhabi, Nottingham Trent and
Coventry. I got into all of them. But I really wanted law for
university law for university or top university brothers and
sisters. And I'm some father
who just came back from Yemen did one year college access to
engineering.
And now I'm applying for these universal handlers. So gotten all
of these three, but I wanted love for because it's only what 30
minutes from my house, and it's a top university. And they will even
give you money Subhanallah if you get in, they rejected me.
I said, You know what, that's the case. Probably going to defer it
for a year and then maybe a year or two and I have enough money. I
will go to Dhabi or Coventry. But I said you know what, let me email
them again. Or email them. They said no. And I emailed them again.
They said no.
I was like that. Subhanallah just before the deadline, right? They
emailed me saying we will let you in with one condition. You have to
do a foundation. Yeah, I was like ABS share. No problem.
No, probably even if you said two years, don't worry. I'll go well,
like brother and sister at the time. Student Finance, they would
give you 3000 pound grant. Grant was free now it's not there
anymore. Some of the elders I think you guys remember right?
3000 pound grant. Right. So Pamela, I call them they said you
are entitled to 6000 Because you're married like mashallah
varkala I'll take that no problem.
Because I was over 21 Right. I just came back from him and I
spent four years there. I was over 21 at a time. They said we will
take 3000 pounds off. Allahu Akbar. We are level 6000 from
serum finance. And now only 6000 pound left. And because it was
Loughborough University, they said, Hey, take 3000 pound
bursary. I walked out with money in my pocket.
Lie brothers. I honestly put that down to one minute Turkey Allah.
Allahu Maharajah. Whoever comes with a Taqwa Allah will give him a
way out. May Allah give us Taqwa. And I hope that Allah azza wa jal
gave me that because I said, I am not going to go university if it
was or if it boils down to this particular point. Right? sort of
handle I did a year and then I left I went to Medina took the
money.
Because I didn't make a choice right at
To make a choice, but the point of the matter is, there are so many
people like this, that Allah azza wa jal gives a way out. Right?
There are alternatives. Does that make sense when the sisters Having
said all of that, and again Subhanallah I wish I remember some
of the alternatives that the father provided. I took it from
the websites I was collecting it right alternative to Student
Finance pages completely crossed my mind, but there are maybe next
time around the shallow Tyler pointed out, but like I said, I am
not giving a fatwa. I will Tamia does not have a right to give a
fatwa on an issue that involves 4.1 million Muslims. That's wrong.
However, all I can do is give you the pros and the cons
and some alternatives and other ways of maybe looking at it Allahu
Taala Allah
bulk la vie for the comprehensive answer.
The next topic and this came up quite
repetitively is the issue of mortgages
Well, I brothers and sisters mortgages is not like student
finance.
Mortgages are not like student finance. Right? I know that there
is a fatwa out there I think by the Islamic Council of Europe
something along the lines of that and they put down something like I
believe if my memory serves me right 10 conditions I don't
believe these 10 conditions apply here in the UK. It doesn't apply
guys.
Right Subhanallah you see a lot of saying oh, there's a fit two out
there. What are the conditions he doesn't know and he's already what
taking a mortgage.
Okay, ideally it be fair and just right. Having said that, my
brothers and my sisters them Tim conditions don't apply to people
in the UK. Right. Brothers and sisters, this is clear cut Reba we
are starting a war with Allah azza wa jal then we'll be helping min
Allah He was already right. Yeah, you Alina Takala whether Roma
Buffy Amina Reba in Quinta, Momineen failing to follow then
we'll be having Mina laboratory. Oh you believe leave of that which
remains of Riba. Right. If you are a true believer, if you don't, you
are starting a war with Allah azza wa jal. I just came back from
Australia, my brothers and my sisters. Right when the brother
was driving me around the Sydney I was absolutely amazed by the homes
that Muslims own. I said Allahumma barik. The Muslims are doing
great, Tierra they're living in mansions, huge houses. I went into
a couple of them and I was left astonished. You Muslims got money
here.
I tell people if you want money, go to Australia. There's a lot of
money there. And a cooling *. You know what the brother said to
me?
They have lovely houses, right? You think from the apparent they
are living wonderful lives up until the sharer gets a phone call
up until the sheriff gets a phone call. And then you come to realize
what is happening inside of this house.
It's become a war zone inside of the house brothers and sisters no
Baraka whatsoever. I've never met personally, I've never met a
brother. Right? Who has a mortgage but is at peace. I've never met
somebody like that. Constant problems one after the other.
Right? Ask yourself the question. Is a mortgage a borrower a
necessity in my life? Or is it because I want a more comfortable
life?
The ruler of my brothers and my sister which means Ness, necessity
there's even a principle a legal maximum adore aura to be heard
moderate the necessities it makes the Haram permissible.
For example, now your life is on the line.
Or maybe your body part is going to fall off.
Is that the case with anyone here brother and sisters
that if you don't get a mortgage that you're going to die or your
body part is going to fall off? Hannah man and Aurora right. So
this is not a card that we can use brothers and sisters a lot of us
we take these mortgages because we want a more comfortable life. Even
though you have other alternatives. I'll give you guys a
very good alternatives. MashAllah the Somalis in Leicester. They
rinsed it out.
Right.
The Somalis in less than they rinsed it out.
They will get council flats or council houses.
After five years, you get a 50% discount.
Imagine that many of the Somalis over there they started buying
houses.
Two bedroom three bedroom even though on the market is something
like 150,000 pounds. They end up buying it for 20,000 pounds.
That probably sounds extremely upright. Yes brothers, sisters, or
maybe 25
I'll just say 30,000 pounds two bedroom three bedroom
because they lived in there for maybe over 20 years
and with the whole
was the scheme code
was a scheme called the right to buy none the Right to Buy scheme.
The more longer you live in these houses, the more cheaper it
becomes
the more cheaper it becomes. So we've all bought the houses while
a lot of them have they do the hug but now you will talk huh? And
they eventually end up what buying the house. Also my brothers and my
sisters that which relates to
write just having a rented house just having a rented house
Why can't I just rent
Are you ready now but then sisters to give up not just your akhira
but likewise your piece in this dunya for some lovely house that
you really badly want?
Allah Allah La vida Justin, just a quick correction. It's not the
Islamic Council of Europe. It's the European Council for fatwa and
research or somebody to separate entities Islamic Council of Europe
is based in London with some of the Musharraf involved in it.
We have an it comes as a common common question as a follow up to
the issue of mortgages. People say what about the necessity the fact
that if I am renting I'm paying up to half the rent or half my salary
rent might not just be in wasteful I'm throwing my money away while I
could maybe use it as a mortgage and eventually own the house
if rent is expensive my brothers and my sisters move out
to a place that is cheaper
what was the principal? Law how's your demand Okay, all right.
Law has its demand here. If you have a choice then has there's no
need. This is not a door our brothers and sisters.
I've been told that in Bolton the homes are a lot cheaper. So here
are some of the area's in Greater Manchester is a lot cheaper than
Manchester over here is maybe what a 20 minute drive or 20 minutes or
longer.
People in London, they travel 40 minutes to work everyday and back
Subhanallah it's costing them petrol and they're still staying
there working for the government. I call it working for the
government. Because over there, your salary just goes out to
expenses. I don't even understand how people live in London. I tell
them make Hijra to Leicester Sharif.
So wonderful place much I hear that again three times a day, from
the 15th floor. It's really Leicestershire if
you move out to some of the areas outside of Manchester and you can
drive in and out.
Right, it's a lot cheaper. I've been told that the houses are much
cheaper, as well if you want to buy it.
So there are alternatives. Unless you're dying brothers and sisters
or your body parts are gonna get chopped off.
In that case, there might be a way out for you. But honestly, there
are so many alternatives, my brothers and my sister so many
alternatives.
Right move to Leicester guys, I'll be more than happy to welcome you
council flats over there, or council houses or something like
405 100 pounds. But don't even come that far. You've got a lot of
neighboring areas to Manchester, but you just have to drive a
little bit more
subtle hair, just moving over to a different topic. And again, a
popular one is marriage. And the question that came up over the
last few days is how do I approach my parents about marriage? If I'm
a young person?
What's the best way to go about convincing them that you are ready
for marriage?
I've been hearing this for years. But then sisters, you know what
I've told some of the brothers, it may well be that you have to be
extremely transparent. What do I mean by that? A lot of
shareholders love and extremely transparent. What do I mean by
that? Some of our parents, they still have the same mindset of
back home. So I can be patient. Hmm. Everyone just gets married
after 30 foot for the first thought, Huh? Some of you sit down
your father married at the age of 30. Your grandfather may be
married at the age of 14. Right? This is maybe the mindset that is
still there. Well law has taught some brothers.
Go to your father and explain to him that you are roasting.
While La Jolla Fulton Omaka tell them that you are about to fall
into haram. Maybe that's the only way
He went on the stand.
Early in the university I was talking about how we live in such
a sexualized society so here
everything is telling you hey tell Akita like hey Turlock enticing
you to do haram. It is so easy to do haram. Back in the day my
brothers and my sister's. If you wanted to watch her arm, you have
to go into the living room and you had the big computers dealt her
with big bucks. And when you are accessing haram, you're looking at
the door.
And today brothers and sisters, right? I don't think anyone would
take the big computer and put it under his blanket. So here
we have these phones, where every haram thing is so easily
accessible. Agreed.
You can ask a escort to come home with just a fingertip away to
commit Zina in the house. Haram has been made so so easy brothers
and sisters. And as parents, I beg you what Allah Hill Allium, I beg
you, right? Make it easy for your children. Allah said in the Quran,
and keahole I am income, instructing the father, the
guardian to marry his children off. It is the responsibility upon
the parent to make things easy. I'm not saying that you are going
to cover all of the expenses. No say to him, Look, we can meet
halfway, go and work and I will help you. Right.
A lot of our parents don't know what's happening. I'm the one
that's dealing with all of their questions. They're messaging me on
Instagram, messaging me on Twitter. I've done this. I've done
that. And my mother is making it difficult. You know what I've seen
over time, brother and sisters, please take this from me. When a
father stops his daughter from getting married, even though there
is such a good proposal for no other reason other than Oh, he's
from a different Abila. He's from a different tribe.
It may well be Subhanallah that his daughter ends up running away
with some girl with some caffeine
or becomes impregnated outside of marriage. Right. And then the
Father is saying, Oh, what's happened? Let me get my daughter
married off before the shame comes to me. A little too late. Why can
we not make it easy? Especially in this country? Do you prefer some
kind for guy called Mark
to impregnate your daughter Rhodesia? Is that what you would
prefer?
We are dealing with different dynamics. We are living in a time
and age while live a good brother comes to you should say at
hamdulillah such that a shocker.
A good guy came because of all of the Fitton, that is out there.
Right. So I'm begging the parents stop making it difficult. Right? I
know what's happening behind closed doors, many young men and
women they are under there for the under the blankets, watching
*, relieving themselves. The parent doesn't know that.
Because what should I do? Right? I have Zina calling me from every
direction.
Everything is calling me to haram. At least now I'm just you know,
relieving myself, you know, it's my shadow. I'm doing this this is
what they say.
Right? And then he becomes addicted. It ruins his life one
time. Allah and Auntie message and you know what she said?
My nine year old child.
I saw him I saw him searching. You know, when you search on YouTube,
the search whatever you search, it still shows.
She said I saw my nine year old searching. How do I overcome
* addiction? Nine years of age.
But I don't have a scenario. Right? This brothers and sisters,
nine year olds are watching this. And she goes I felt absolutely
broken. Right? What should I do? And then we sent her some websites
maybe that she could you know help her child with? This is the
struggle brothers and sisters. Right? And marriage is a solution
to so many of these problems.
Now,
Allah azza wa jal knows best. So
there's a few questions that came about when someone is in a
relationship before marriage, and they already to make it halal. But
sometimes the girl's family are not ready or the girl's family
thinks she's not ready. Or the girl is ready and her family are
accepted but the guy is saying he's not ready financially. Should
they wait around should they wait for this person? Or what is the
alternative? Sorry, say that again? So someone's saying they're
ready to get married but they found someone they in a
relationship with someone and they're ready to make a halal but
the other person is hesitant.
What should they do?
But in a haram relationship, my sister's empty gasifying
the guy who is saying to you that I want to marry you, but he
doesn't go straight to your father. This individual is not
serious. He is not serious. He just wants to chew you like a
piece of chewing gum and spit you out. You're just another girl on
the list.
If my brother is the man says he's not going straight to your father.
That should be what a huge red flag.
The brother who wants you in a halal way he's not going to creep
through the window. He's going to come straight through the door to
your father
comply now. All right. Haram relationships is not an option. A
lot of it a lot of the time it doesn't end well. You know, a
shareholder 17 manhunt Allah Allah mentioned. It says wylam and
coolamon ahead, belly Lady lahaie fella good and Eudora, HomeHub
over.
Anyone, my brothers and my sister that you love for other than the
sake of Allah azza wa jal, or you now prioritize over Allah, that
person, it's only a matter of time before he hits you.
Right? How many messages have I received, especially on Instagram
from sister saying I'm broken? He made me all of these false
promises. And now he's dumped me. Right? He's moved on already to
another sister.
Right? Even though Subhanallah I really thought that he was going
to go to my father. Can you see brothers and sisters? They are
left heartbroken, left hurt. And that is because you don't the
right wrong thing. You done the wrong thing.
Right. Unfortunately, this is how it will end up a lot of the time,
and even Subhanallah if they do end up getting married, without
doing the correct thing which is to separate from one another and
to make Toba to Allah azza wa jal that marriage is not going to be
based on Baraka
it's not going to be a better one because it's thought that with
haram except expect the haram to continue in IT problems after
problem
a life alopecia *. Does that make sense my brothers and my
sisters
for the total?
Subhanallah I want Can I just repeat what you what you said. So
everybody has that our uncle here was stood up. He said mortgage is
a French word and it means a pledge for death. So
if you don't pay it, the children will inherit it
about marriage
and he says this society has created women consumers
You mean the sisters are selfish? They just spent
sure he might get done. Oh being a misogynist. Yes. We've got a new
ATA
Tada, Uncle Jonah, come here and let us know what you're saying.
Suck Long story short, can you repeat again? So everybody has it?
Did you hear that said the husband earns 100 pounds.
And then she ends up spending 150 She's just a consumer.
Shall we want to add anything else? We can bring it to the
front.
So that law has left me alone.
That's why sorry.
That's why the man is scared to get married. Well, that's very
true. So may Allah bless her uncle. An important input. Very,
very true. Right. This is why it's extremely important brothers that
you do research of who you are marrying. This is why the Scholars
they talk about the issue of what CAFA suitability, if a woman is so
used to spending or she's living that kind of lifestyle because
she's independent. You may be driven to bankruptcy.
Soccer, soccer, soccer hair. Just a question from YouTube. Someone's
saying
if marriage is the means or the goal, the end goal Why does life
become depressing after marriage?
Why does life become depressive? Or depressing? Should I say right
after marriage?
My brothers and my sisters, a lot of couples, they don't know how to
be husbands and wives.
I have a lecture on my YouTube channel, it's called Seven
I think it's called Seven Principles for a successful
marriage.
Many people are deluded, right when walking into his marriage,
when walking into this marriage, they still think that they could
live single lives, you have responsibility.
Still not ready because they don't understand what a marriage
actually involves. Right.
So I advise inshallah Tada that you go back to the video, right?
Perhaps it might put things into perspective as to why things go
wrong. The first principle that I gave was your relationship with
Allah subhanaw taala. And I gave the triangle theory because know
the triangle theory. The triangle theory is, you have Allah at the
top, and then you have husband and wife in the two corners.
What happens now when they do that which is that which is pleasing to
Allah, they get closer to Allah, and even then they get closer
look,
closer to Allah, and even between them is getting closer.
What happens now when they disobey Allah azza wa jal,
they get further and further away from Allah. And even amongst them
now there's a distance.
Sometimes a brother or a husband and his wife, they think having a
good time is sitting around watching movies. And in the
process, they're looking at so much haram. This is going to
affect your marriage.
Haram is going to affect your marriage, it will come and haunt
you.
Right, please won't you get a chance to shallow taller watch
that video, I spoke about it in a lot of detail. When things go
wrong, the first thing that we should be doing is taking a good
look at ourselves in the mirror maybe it's because of a cinder I
committed and all of these things are going on for the chef
chef would you prefer to come here and I'll give you the mic
so Zack, look around clapping just to kind of we do have a few
questions just kind of wrap up we will speak about this later
inshallah. But it was just to kind of like give them an idea of what
happens any not that I'm a Zionist or anything like that. I'm not
particular Alright, I think is it the topic The Seven Commandments
of a successful Seven Commandments of success financial of anyone
that wants to refer back to that video, and I think shares just to
kind of get your confirmation and hamdulillah you're married or
married life doesn't get depressing after
I have as good guys.
There's always ups and downs.
Anyone who goes into marriage thinking that there are no ups and
downs. Allah has a very, you know, misconstrued understanding of
marriage, brothers and sisters.
Tala Malka lafay
mean
it's not a war, right they complement one another
a woman should not marry
she will shop
So,
moving on, I think to a bit of a different topic is got the
question someone says that they feel that they aren't strong
Islamic foundation. But yet they struggled with Salah fasting and
they fall into sins.
So what advice do you have for them? You know, a lot of the time
my brothers and my sisters, when I hear people asking this question,
I honestly think that there's an issue with how the questioner has
understood this concept. When somebody says now I am a
practicing Muslim. I have a strong foundation. Right? But I'm still
like struggling.
Let's go back to the question itself. Is it really a strong
foundation that you have? A lot of people they don't know that some
of the things that they are doing is actually a sin. Many people
don't know that. And that in within itself, brothers and
sisters, it requires one to seek knowledge
It's not as A plus B equals C, it's not as straightforward as
that. So many Subhanallah that I've sat down with Allah remember
Subhan Allah as someone who, you know, counsels married couples
from time to time.
I know what's happening between the sister and also husband.
Right?
So I was on the call right speaking to them.
I asked the Sister, why do you think all of this is happening?
You know, she said, I honestly believe this is happening because
I'm getting closer to Allah.
will lie brothers. And since I looked at that relationship,
there's 101 things wrong about it.
One of them was haram money,
cheating the government.
Is it surprising now that you're going through all of these
problems, brothers and sisters, it really isn't. But she didn't look
at it like that. She just came across certain things, certain
texts, and thought, because now I've started seeking knowledge, or
I've now maybe, you know, started bettering myself, that everything
is perfectly fine. And because of that, I'm getting what closer to
Allah azza wa jal.
Right. So we have to actually understand and learn why maybe
this is happening. It is due to a sin that I'm committing. And I'm
not aware of it, or I'm not aware that this is actually a problem.
Right? Well, I were getting a lot of questions on my brothers, my
sister pertaining to, and I think the answer would be, we have to
really go out to seek knowledge brothers and sisters. Right. And
the whole Hotbot was about that, wasn't it? With all of these
doubts that are spreading that are shaking the core of our faith?
Right. I think one of the questions that was sent in as
well, I don't have time brothers and sisters. Right.
15 minutes everyday,
you know, 15 minutes every day.
A rain drop. Hmm. The more we have these raindrops, brothers and
sisters, what happens it turns into an ocean every day a little
bit up until it becomes an ocean. We spend so much time on our
phones. If we just dedicated 1015 minutes of learning every single
day Allah would come out with a lot, learning about a to hate. A
lot of the sins that we fall into my brothers and my sister is due
to a flawed relationship we have with Allah azza wa jal.
The more you learn about Allah, and the obligations of Allah azza
wa jal upon you, the more conscious you will become. I've
taught Kitab to hate seven times. In the last two and a half years.
I'm now on the eighth time. When you just go through these chapters
Subhanallah which makes you so much more conscious of Allah azza
wa jal, you come to know about his rights upon you, and how to deal
with certain situations you find themselves in will lie really
changes your perspective in how one should have a relationship
with Allah azza wa jal
and then you think not just twice but thrice the next time a sin
emerges as an opportunity.
Right.
May Allah bless your
The next question is someone asks about just in terms of family
relations, if your family are quite open, and your non Muslim
relatives like your cousins from the opposite gender are mixed in
how do you kind of draw the line? And where is the line Islamically?
And how do you kind of do it in a manner that's not awkward and
didn't leave a bitter taste between the family?
This is very, very common button sisters because, again, this is a
culture thing. Right? A parent may say
you two are cousins, right? Your cousins are she's like your
sister.
Or he is like your brother is ideal.
Islam is free from his mother and sisters. Right? She's either your
mom or your non Muharram there is no in between. Oh, just because
she's my cousin. I can you know, sit over tea having an innocent
chit chat.
I've come across families right? Where they would say to cousins,
or just go upstairs go watch the movie obsessed together. They are
what? Two cousins? It's not brother and sister to go upstairs
as teenagers to watch a movie not just anymore but a Love movie.
Right where your urges now start spiraling out of control.
And then they end up committing Zina.
And then I get the phone call or what should they do? Should we get
the married off together? Is this something that's permissible?
Kenny it happen without a shadow of a doubt. I have a lecture on my
YouTube channel. My brothers and my sister is called filthy
fathers, cheating husbands and free mixing
You know what I did in that lecture?
I could have of course, quoted a hadith and I wish I did. But if I
only stick to that people will say, Oh Lincoln theory. Look at
this guy, huh? Abu Tamia is backwards. He's out of touch with
reality brother we are in 2022 life is different.
Stop being watershed did stop being harsh. You know what I did
brothers and sisters in a lecture, I read out firsthand experiences
of victims victims of who are victims of what victims of free
mixing. They sent in these experiences to Islam q&a, which I
think everybody knows right.
Sharing what happened. I came across this article maybe back in
2015. I said it would be such a great thing to turn this into a
video me just reading it.
Right. A lady messages in she says I opened my door for couples to
have innocent chit chats over tea.
While I'm cooking the tea. My husband is cheating on me upstairs
with one of the ladies that are invited. What shall I do? I'm
broken.
Xena is real brothers. Look at the kind of effect that he has now.
She's saying I'm struggling to forgive him. I can't get over it.
It was just one commandment my sister
iya como de Hola Hola, Nisa, the Prophet sallahu wa sallam said,
Beware of entering upon women. The Prophet sallahu wa someone's asked
for a Tamil demo. What about the brother in law? The prophets Allah
Allah have some said the brother in law is death. And he's the
closest to his brother's wife Subhanallah his death let alone
anyone else. No, you shouldn't do that. Right now. She's emailing in
heartbroken, doesn't know how to get over it. Can you see brother
and sister how important knowledge is that one Hadith if she acted
upon it, she may not necessarily have gone through all of this
misery.
Right. And what was the other Hadith? Right when the missing
salatu salam said mahalo Raja and marmorata Nila Khanna Dalai Lama
shaytaan never does a man seclude himself with a woman except that
the third is shaitan
These are basic commandments.
Well, like it's times like this where I began to appreciate
knowledge, because it protects us from so many societal issues.
Right? But the parent may say, Okay, why Id Well, what are the
Kaga? He's your brother. Oh, he's your she's your sister. And then
haram ends up taking place. And then it's too late to deal with.
Right? So she's either like I said, your mom or you're not
Muslim. And if she's your non Muslim, then you are not allowed
to have
a relationship with her like your sister. Right? You have to keep it
a bare minimum. There is something that you need to ask a shopkeeper,
you keep it at the bare minimum. So
you can't be asking her how her day was or how her morning? Ask
her where is the milk? That's it.
And then you leave the same likewise, there's a need. And
that's how you deal with it. Right? The parents need to have
this type of education as well. Right? And we feel like our time
so this is going to cause a big problem. And they're kind of like
forcing you to give it give sometimes and leave some money
come while exam is anyone going to force you now to sit with
anyone putting a gun to your head law.
Just on this topic, and also the topic of how many questions left
to play.
On this topic and the topic of
if you feel like your era you are learning and Allah azza wa jal has
blessed you with some Islamic knowledge and you notice your
family are falling into certain practices that could be considered
as bitter and against Islamic teachings. What's the best way to
speak to them and approach them without losing your family
members? Good, very good question.
What happens my brothers and my sister from time to time is that
we as young people, we learn certain Sunon certain practices
that are sunnah. However, our parents, they've only ever come to
know that this sunnah, or this thing that you are doing is the
first step to extremism. I'll give you guys an example right? Raising
your hand in the Salah is that sooner? Bidda sunnah without the
shadow of a doubt Hadith Abdullayev no matter the Allah
Allah anima and maybe somebody was salam Kenyatta Feria de has women
keababies After her Salah de vida Kibera required a rough era. So
mineral Cora, four places you raise your hands. However, in some
communities, brothers and sisters, the moment you start raising your
hands, they think Hello us. This is the first step to joining ISIS.
Well I this is true. Right? And that is because the parent doesn't
know.
Right? So what happens is the brother has come to learn that
this is a sunnah and without a shadow of a doubt this is a sunnah
of the messenger salatu salam refer earlier Dania so Neville
Maha Mandurah tin man do the mandala 10 Something along the
lines, the line of poetry, right MoMA 10 mem Duta de la sabia,
that's what it was. It's a sunnah la Chateau la ripe, you will get
rewarded for it. Right and one should not be leaving it off just
like that. The Sahaba they did a sunnah because it is sunnah. Today
we leave it off because of the Sunnah. Right? And Aquila, *
a lot of the parents don't know. They think holla this guy is
becoming extreme. A brother from Birmingham called me. And he said
that him and his father are having a lot of problems. I asked him
why. And even in the question, he said, I'm struggling with
provision. Financially, I'm having a lot of issues. It's not
surprising to be honest. And I gave him how to deal with the
situation. I said was the issue. He goes I learned about off
earlier Dane, raising my hands. So I started doing it in front of my
dad
for trouble.
He goes, I started rubbing in my dad's face.
So what kind of reaction do you want?
I said to him, why don't you take the * body?
And show him look that I came across his Hadith. What do you
think? Instead of rubbing in his face, and then you end up fighting
with one another in the house? Or he begins to think that these
kinds of people are what extremists? Look what these
Wahhabis are teaching him that's how the father is going to think.
You think if you go to a father, and you say to him look, Sahil
Buhari, the most authentic book after the book of Allah, look that
I came across this, he's just going to take and throw in the
bin. I think that's far fetched. It may happen, but I think is very
far fetched. I said to him, why didn't you do that? Because Allah,
you're right.
I set him the first thing you do now is go to your father and kiss
him on the forehead.
Kiss him
is exactly what he done. And he bettered his relationship with his
father. And then he goes, he calls me back after two weeks. While I
feel like my life has changed in the sense where I'm in a better
position financially. Because since they affect your risk, and
from the worst of sins is what he goes, I even started shouting at
my dad. Oh, you don't love the Sunnah.
As we have to be very, very easy, right? We have to be very subtle,
in the way we get the message across Wallahi even me, when I
came back from Yemen,
from the last of those who will take knowledge from me was my own
family members. It is the hardest type of data
to give down with your family. Right? Or your brother and sisters
with me. Where do we get this from the seer of the Prophet sallahu wa
salam?
Isn't this what he really struggled with giving the power to
his own family?
But when he went to El Medina, he was welcomed.
Look, Allah Subhan Allah, it is very, very hot.
Right? Some of my relatives, they wouldn't take anything from me.
Before he was a little kid and now you want to tell us what to do.
They only started listening to me when they saw other people
appreciating what I was teaching them.
Right. I remember Subhan Allah, one of the Auntie's, went unhedged
with me. Right?
And she will never take me seriously.
Every hedge, I always dedicate one session just for sisters, because
they have a lot of questions pertaining to menses and whatever
have you.
There was at least maybe 100 women waiting there. When she saw this,
only then she started accepting what I say. Then she came home
hammered. What about this question?
So it's very, very hard. And we have to be what very subtle, it is
a sunnah we know. However, how are you now going to approach the
situation with your family? Got to take it easy with them. Right? And
sometimes saying to your father, what you're doing is Buddha, how
do you think he's going to react?
Right. That is a big thing. Why? Some parents would say, Well, I'm
gonna move to there. Now I'm an innovator. This is the kind of
reaction sometimes some brothers they say that what you're doing is
cool for while I'm a cat for now.
This is not the right way to go about it. Who drew Elizabeth
Rebecca Bill Hekmati? Well, more allotted Hassan, you have to be
wise and gentle brothers and sisters. So the best approach
maybe is right.
to
pave the way with examples, or with action, should I say, right?
What do I mean by that?
From time to time
deal with your father in a very, very gentle and nice way. Right?
kissing them on their foreheads, right showing a lot of respect.
And then maybe saying that look, I came across this, what do you
think? Instead of speaking to your father at this, he is lower than
you.
And that will not go down nicely. The moment you speak to your
parents as if you guys are the same level, forget about it.
Right that I came across this you acting like you're the J one.
And then perhaps he may start opening up and all you could do
what is advice? Right. You can't impose especially when it comes to
family relatives.
sokola *, the last question I wanted to ask Jeff is,
with this format of the animal Geraldo, rather q&a and the masjid
always sort of tries to give Dawa in a variety of formats, we have
only our structured classes and for Khan, college and other
things. But should we only give the hour in a structured manner as
in lessons and cancellations? Mahabharat? Should we go back to
the books?
I think there's maybe two extremes to this.
One extreme is just lectures, lectures, lectures, lectures.
Another extreme is to say we don't need anything other than books.
Right? We have to be balanced.
You know, announce a lesson to go through a particular book, right?
You really think the kids on the streets are going to come to this.
However, you have a youth event, you think that kids are going to
come to that very likely so
may be in that youth event, right? You could instill an ingrained
within them the importance of knowledge.
Hula we have brothers who are coming to my class in inheritance,
inheritance. Even to labeller LM they normally don't study
inheritance, brothers and sisters is one of those things that you
study after. However, they came right to these lessons after going
through the process of lectures in the masjid. We have a brother from
London, who would hold these events, right, which was very,
very attractive to youngsters, they would fill the house of Allah
azza wa jal.
Not all of them are going to start seeking knowledge. But only if you
end up getting 10 or five. There is somewhere where they need to
start.
Right? You know, brothers and sisters.
I've been going through to all of these universities.
I went to maybe what 23 I think I told you guys earlier, right.
I've been instilling within them the importance of knowledge,
giving them logical examples as to why knowledge is going to save
you, especially when learning to hate and sort of use of as just a
theme that I use to get a lot of important messages across. Right.
When I gave $1 the other day Cuban Islamic center
will lie the masjid was absolutely packed. There was 100 people
waiting outside. They never came to attend a lecture. They came to
study, the four principles of shed collided orba the majority of them
were uni students.
The majority of them were uni students. Why can't I use a method
like that?
Or what would the issue be with that? If you're going around
giving lectures and at the same time you are what teaching books
there is somewhere that they need to start right and they come
through these lectures. So like I said, there is a balance my
brothers and my sisters, even the student of knowledge, a student of
knowledge, he needs lectures. Yes. Andromeda collibra Josie
Rahmatullah Lee, who I believe died in the year 592. He said,
right to analysts the high level 50 Will Hadith
right? Are we somewhere in Hadith? La Jolla, Cal dujac v v Salah
*, he goes I have come to the conclusion that just studying and
Hadith will not right.
rectify your heart.
It's just not enough hissing I'm not saying that is not going to
but it's just not enough. He says ill and human soldier be che in
Morocco at one another if he see a result of a solder hen.
Right. You also have to
go through hot softness
and also looking up the Sierra the lives of the people of the past.
You know brother says I love a solid look. I love it. Also love
it helps us to protect our Sharia from the liberals. Right and those
who want to distort
the fundamentals of our Sharia so Knossos mineral law
I'll also saw Knossos minimal source saying also helps you
protect the Sharia from the thieves. Those what
take principles out of context and the deen out of context like what
we're having now people are coming along speaking about the hijab Oh
is my choice and as if they have a choice, right? I know Callahan
will lie. Sometimes my heart gets hard.
Going through so late all the time, and I love a soulful
I have to take a Kitab like
a holiday except to put me in a good place again. It's a book,
it's called actions of the heart, or Sierra Allama novella. Right?
For a doula, which is a summarization of sirolimus
novella. And I read some of the lives of the people of Annie
motivates me.
Hmm, it brightens up my heart, when I've been looking up maybe a
solar field for the last five hours. So there has to be what a
balance. Sometimes I listen to a lecture alongside the lessons that
I have. Right? It motivates you. So even a student of knowledge is
in need of that. Right? Honestly, for someone now to warn, I came
across some things, which I felt was very, very disappointing, to
warn against, for example, the last conference, right, when there
was what workshops and whatever have you and to say, only we
should be studying books, brothers and sisters. What were we covering
in the workshops? You had issues like LGBTQ?
I gave a lecture on feminism. What Allah Hill Allium feminist
messaged me saying they are on the verge of leaving feminism
isn't feminism and it the issue is to become a belief. So
if I now use a PowerPoint, or a workshop now to call to the right
aqidah, what would the issue be?
Right? Whether it's done through a book, which is important, or I do
it through a workshop or a PowerPoint, or I do it in a
lecture form, because maybe this is the kind of crowd
right, that I can maybe appeal to with this kind of format. will lie
feminists messaged me saying, we're about to leave these beliefs
and these ideologies, because of the lecture, it was only meant to
be 20 minutes, but we went over by 20 minutes. Hands, a lot of hair
came out of it. The video went viral. And a lot of feminists got
upset as well on Twitter. They polluted my Twitter. They went
absolutely ballistic.
Right. So somehow now what would the issue be? Of course, there are
issues in the books of al Qaeda, that are very, very important.
However, we have modern day, actually the flaws as well. Right.
This is why I've been telling some of the brothers when we teach our
kids that we need to make it relevant to people's lives. We are
not going to cancel it altogether. Law. Right, make irrelevant. I'll
give you guys an example. In a sort of seminal moment, how many
Rahmatullah Alayhi it starts off with the issues of al Qaeda,
believing in Al Qaeda, the good of it, and also what the bad of it.
Did, you know, my brothers, I must say some of the atheistic issues
that many of these atheists are suffering from it goes back to the
issue of al Qaeda.
It material has some color monads and Allah Azza wa Jalla halacha
Sharon Mala. And this is something that is necessary, we can put that
more than a flavor on it right? Because a lot of these books of
Aqeedah they were written in a certain time and age and they were
addressing the issues that was a problem in that time. Which is
still a problem today. However, things can maybe be added on and
there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Likewise when we come
to the issue of the Iman right faith element Oh no, I'm gonna add
that Eman is action speech and also believe how many people say
you don't always say my heart brother.
Don't judge me. Don't judge the people. He's got a good heart and
the guys committing Zina.
They sing Aki No, leave him leave him he's got a good heart. What do
you mean he's got a good heart? He needs advice.
This is Ilja in within itself. Subhan Allah is a type of
innovation that was brought out, you know Yanira to the time of the
companions and the tab you're in right? So we can put what a modern
day flavor on it. Whether you use a PowerPoint whether use a
classroom format, and Shen muscular in the University of
Medina now they're using these modern day ways of teaching for
example, or to hate for example, they'll put a PowerPoint up masala
Hadid is being taught in a passion muscular.
Right. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it
doesn't make sense my brothers and my sisters, so there has to be a
fair balance. The majority of Muslims in the UK are they
students of knowledge
Are they are communists, general people? And brothers?
They are general people. Right? So don't you think that needs to be
catered for us all? I don't even think there's a problem if someone
said, I'm going to do more lectures than lessons, I'm going
to teach you books, but I have to cater for all of these people
because they are the majority. We are not in the time of shark
members, brothers and sisters, there was a lot of practicing
people, there was a lot of students of knowledge in his time.
Right. And every time in places different, UK we're dealing with
very different dynamics. So for someone to say no, I'm gonna go
past all of these places, I'm going to give them lectures, which
will perhaps bring them into the masjid I'm going to do a lecture
that will cause them to love knowledge and muscular
right, as long as the correct beliefs are being propagated,
that's the most important thing.
So there has to be what a balance in shallow Tana And I have this
theory of lectures or like paracetamol
going through books is like an operation
right a lot of us we need the operation. You come to a lecture
your Eman goes up, sigh type, how do you keep your iman maintained
by studying about Allah azza wa jal
when you go through books, brother and sister it keeps your Eman
maintained and afloat.
Alright, lectures, paracetamol, it doesn't mean it doesn't deal with
the underlining issues but there is a balance. And I think you
know, Josie Rahmatullah Allah He was absolutely spot on. When he
said, just studying fic and hadith is just not enough to really
rectify the heart you are in need of Raka and looking up the lives
of the people of the Paston
Allah Allah BarakAllahu storage locker, we are not going to take
any questions from the floor inshallah it's past 10pm Just one
