AI: Summary ©
A short poem to strengthen our understanding of
Allah.
We are not learning aqidah, my brothers and
my sisters, in order to engage in disputations
and argumentations.
Cut this out, my brothers and my sisters.
Sometimes studying these books, one begins to feel
this way, in this arrogant manner, as if
he has some sort of green card now
to enter into Al-Jannah.
Issues of Qadr, the unseen, the shirk mean,
family of the messenger, who comes under it,
who's the sahabi, who are these three golden
generations, does anyone know who the four were?
Do angels of hearts?
Three things that are going to be weighed
is what?
What is the hold?
Anyone know some of those that are not
going to be tested in the grave?
Is that enough for me now to enter
into Al-Jannah?
Bless every single one of you guys, and
remember this always brothers and sisters, right?
The bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the gift
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, right?
Secondly brothers and sisters, today we're not delivering
a lecture, right?
This is not a lecture today.
Some of you guys may have attended my
lectures in the past, 50 minutes, an hour,
and then everybody goes home, iman may go
up, right?
You feel great about yourself, and then after
a week the iman just goes back down
again.
This time around some of you guys may
have noticed, I've just been mainly going through
books, right?
I've been mainly going through books because we've
done enough lectures, and I am a believer
in there being a balance between books and
likewise lectures.
Through the lectures you emphasize on the importance
of seeking knowledge.
Unfortunately, because most are not students of knowledge,
they're not theological, right?
There isn't really an importance in many people's
lives with regards to the importance of studying
our creed as Muslims, what the representation of
Islam is.
All of that is almost non-existent in
many households.
This is why we deliver a lot of
these lectures in order to pull people in,
in order to seek knowledge, and to take
the deen of Islam so much more seriously.
Even when you think about a lot of
the, as we're going to come into inshaAllah
ta'ala in a short while, a lot
of problems that people run into, right?
Simply because a lack of knowledge, a prevalence
of ignorance.
This is why I always say to the
brothers and sisters, if I didn't take anything
away from the 10 years that I was
studying, other than the fact that we're able
to navigate and maneuver around the people's problems,
they would have been more than enough, right?
And that's just a tiny bit of it,
right?
A tiny bit of the knowledge that is
there for people to, right, acquire, right?
So inshaAllah ta'ala, today will be a
dawrah.
I'm hoping to finish it in two hours.
I'm hoping to finish it for two hours,
because I know some of you guys have
somewhere to go at 8pm, right?
But very likely I may end up going
over it by a little while, inshaAllah ta
'ala.
So my brothers, my sisters, before I start
this manzooma, I want to mention the following.
We are not learning aqeedah, my brothers, my
sisters, in order to engage in disputations and
argumentations, right?
I'll say that again.
We're not learning this creed, right?
The belief that a Muslim should hold in
order to jump online now and start debating
and engaging in argumentations and disputations on social
media platforms such as Twitter, or which is
known now as X.
We are learning the creed of a Muslim
in order to strengthen our understanding of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and to also gain
an understanding with regards to the unseen aspects
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in his
Quran and likewise the Messenger ﷺ has mentioned,
right?
And before I move on to the second
point, my brothers and my sisters, and I
think this is very, very important for us
to really comprehend.
One may say to himself upon going through
some of the matters of the unseen that
we will be covering in this manzooma, people
always ask, how do I know that this
is actually the truth?
Some of the aspects of the Quran, right?
There is a chance that it is something
else.
How would you answer that, my brothers, my
sisters?
A lot of the matters of the unseen
that we may be covering today are issues
that me and you cannot see with the
naked eye, right?
They are promises that we will be able
to acquire in the hereafter.
This is when the importance of studying your
religion comes in extremely handy.
It's a common doubt, right, that is exasperated
in university settings, right?
There are people over there, my brothers and
my sisters, they're learning about our religion, right?
Spending days and nights learning about the Muslim's
doctrine.
Not so he can become guided, but rather
to use it against the Muslim.
And this is one of the doubts that
gets thrown around.
First and foremost, my brothers and my sisters,
with regards to this Quran, right?
This book that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
has sent down.
This Quran that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
has sent down as later on inshallah ta
'ala we will speak about the Quran being
the speech of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
right?
And his divinity.
However, now very, very quickly, my brothers and
my sisters, in the Quran, as Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala tells us, a challenge, right?
Was sent out to the most eloquent of
Arabs.
The Quran is in which language?
It's in the Arabic language, right?
It's in the Arabic language.
They were challenged.
Because they began to deny and doubt the
book of Allah azzawajal, right?
So they were challenged.
In order to produce a Quran of similar
kind.
Like Allah azzawajal, he says, قُلْ لَإِنْ اجْتَمَعَتِ
الْإِنسُ وَالْجِنُ عَلَىٰ يَأْتُوا بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ لَا
يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِرًا Sayyidina
Muhammad, if the jinn and the ins were
to come together in order to produce a
Quran of such, they wouldn't be able to
do so.
This was the first out of the three
challenges that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala sent
down, right?
In order for them to meet.
These are no ordinary Arabs.
They are the most eloquent of Arabs, my
brothers and my sisters.
They weren't able to produce it.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made it
easier for them.
You can't produce this whole Quran.
How many pages in the Quran, brothers and
sisters?
600.
By the way, brothers, inshallah, you'll get breaks.
600 pages in the Quran.
Produce something similar to that.
They weren't able to do so.
So it was made easier.
Allah says in the Quran, أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ
قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِعَشْرِ ثُوَّرٍ مِثْلِهِ مُفْتَرَيَاتٍ Right?
Produce 10 chapters of the Quran, right?
Fabricate it, make it fabricated.
Just produce something similar to it.
They weren't able to do so, my brothers
and my sisters.
What are the 10 smallest chapters in the
Quran?
Where does it start from?
It would just start from what?
Surah Al-Fil.
Small surah, right?
They weren't able to produce anything like that.
So Allah Azza wa Jalla decided to make
it easy for them.
What was the third?
Verse that was sent down as a challenge.
وَإِن كُنْتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِمَّا نَزَلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا
فَأْتُوا بِي Produce one chapter.
What's the smallest chapter in the Quran?
It's sent.
إِنَّا عَطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرِ فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ إِنَّ شَانِيَكَ
هُوَ الْأَبَطَرِ They weren't able to produce anything
like it, my brothers and my sisters.
You have a man in the middle of
the desert, Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, right?
He didn't have modern day technology, right?
To be able to discover some of the
things that were mentioned in the Quran, such
as that which relates to the embryo.
It's been mentioned in such detail that it's
impossible for a man in the middle of
the desert to just fabricate something like this,
right?
And up until now, my brothers and my
sisters, they weren't able to produce anything like
it, right?
Likewise, when you look at the chain of
transmission, whether it may be the Quran or
the Sunnah of the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Do you guys know of any religion, my
brothers and my sisters, when it comes to
a report, which we claim to be divine,
right?
Has to go through such scrutiny before we
end up accepting it, right?
Every reporter in that chain of narration, right?
Needs to be triple-checked, making sure that
it's trustworthy.
There's a whole science called Mustalah Al-Hadith,
which is dedicated to making sure that we
can accept this chain of transmission that has
come with a report, right?
This, my brothers and my sisters, is the
difference between the Quran and any other current
book that people follow today.
So we accept that this Quran, my brothers
and my sisters, is unchallenged.
It is divine.
It is the speech of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, right?
And it hasn't been tampered with.
And this is from the miracles of the
Quran, that it hasn't been tampered with from
the time that it was sent down all
the way up until now.
Millions have memorized the book of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
I agree, my brothers and my sisters.
But when someone memorizes the Gospel, I remember
years ago, I came across an article on
the BBC, I believe it was, right?
That someone memorized the Gospel.
It was what?
A fraction of the Quran.
There was a big deal about it.
Right?
The Quran has been preserved as Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala sent down over 1400 years
ago.
إِنَّ نَحْنُ نَزَلْنَا ذِكْرًا وَإِنَّ لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ We
are going to preserve it.
Every letter, every word, every sentence, it is
preserved in the book of Allah Azza wa
Jal.
Right?
And whenever they try to tamper with it,
we always find out.
صحيح؟
You get some of these apps that have
Islamic names, or these websites that have Islamic
names.
But they are trying to infiltrate Al-Islam
in their works.
Right?
فَهَذَا أَمْرٌ مُهِمٌ جِدًّا My brothers and my
sisters, I'll give you guys an example.
It in fact happened here, and I mentioned
it in many of the universities.
Just to show you how every letter, and
also every كَثْرَةَ فَتْحَةَ and ضمّة is preserved.
You guys remember my brothers and my sisters,
that viral video.
Right?
And it was Shaykh Abdul Ghaffar, I believe
his name is, Wardera, they call him the
gaffer.
Right?
Who is leading, and by the way, my
brothers and my sisters, he is Mutqin.
Right?
He barely ever mistakes.
Right?
When it comes to reciting the book of
Allah عز و جل.
Or he barely ever falls into a mistake,
when leading Taraweeh.
A little kid behind him, is listening to
the recitation of the Imam.
What did he say?
فَمَا تَبِعَ هُدَايَةٍ What's the correct version?
Huh?
فَمَا نِتَّبَعَ هُدَايَةٍ وَلَلَا Huh Abdullahi?
Are you mixing the two up?
فَمَا تَبِعَ هُدَايَةٍ He said, and then the
little child corrects him.
فَمَا نِتَّبَعَ هُدَايَةٍ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْغَى Right?
It has been preserved to that extent.
No one can just turn up and start
tampering with the book of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى
So the Quran, my brothers and my sisters,
is Haqq, the speech of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى
is the truth.
So we've accepted that.
Right?
There should be no hesitation when it comes
to accepting whatever Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى has informed
every single one of us with regards to
the matters of the unseen.
Right?
So this is what we want to achieve
through these sittings in sha Allah و تعالى
today.
We want to be able to increase our
iman to learn about what a Muslim needs
to hold as his doctrine.
Right?
The purpose isn't disputations and argumentations.
Right?
And to now start causing tensions at home.
You've learned a little something, then you go
home and then you start shoving it down
the throats of your parents.
Or to start walking around arrogantly.
Right?
To start walking around arrogantly as if you
have some sort of green card that you
are now entitled to Al-Jannah because of
what you've learned now.
In sha Allah و تعالى your belief system
Right?
is important.
In fact, extremely important.
As I will comment in sha Allah و
تعالى speak about it in a moment.
Remember you also despite the aqeedah that you
embrace you still have to what?
Do righteous deeds.
Right?
This is very very important.
Hey my brothers and my sisters I've seen
a lot of people fall.
They learn a little bit and then he's
walking around as if he's on cloud nine.
Right?
We're trying to get closer to Allah و
سبحانه و تعالى through that which we are
learning.
Right?
Even if you now begin to believe that
you have the correct aqeedah my brothers and
my sisters there's still a long way to
go.
Right?
For those who attended my Dora we spoke
about the concept of worshipping Allah عز و
جل between two wings.
Does anyone remember it?
Ahsan, hope and fear.
We balance our pursuit to Allah عز و
جل through hope and fear.
I do a righteous deed I hope that
Allah عز و جل accepts it.
I commit a sin I'm fearful of the
punishment of Allah عز و جل because there's
a possibility He may punish me for it.
Right?
So we remain on our toes my brothers
and my sisters.
Right?
There's still a long way to go.
Before I start the manthoom my brothers and
my sisters I have written down here why
aqeedah is extremely important.
Number one my brothers and my sisters لم
يظهر الفساد الكثير إلا بعد الاعتقاد A lot
of the corruption that we see today my
brothers and my sisters would you agree that
it originated from a belief that one has
embraced.
Think about it for a moment.
Even Ibn Taymiyya رحمة الله عليه Right?
He says فقل من تجد في اعتقاده فساداً
إلا وهو يظهر ذلك في عمله You will
barely find Right?
You will barely find someone who has a
corrupt belief except that this will now begin
to show on his limbs.
Now think about it my brothers and my
sisters the way Right?
People get oppressed and butchered and massacred.
Right?
With what they are doing.
Are they doing this my brothers and my
sisters based on anything other than a belief?
Do they not believe that they have to
do X Y and Z?
Right?
To our Palestinian brothers and sisters this is
a belief and this belief it didn't just
remain in one's body لا or inside of
his heart it begins to profess on one's
limbs.
What is happening to our yogurt brothers and
sisters?
Right?
And what is being done to them?
Would you agree my brothers and my sisters?
Right?
This originated from a belief the way we
as Muslims may be treated by whoever it
might be it originates from what it originates
it originates from that which an individual believes.
Agreed my brothers and my sisters?
So am I wrong to say that the
whole world runs on what people believe?
Agreed my brothers and my sisters?
Right?
Even today my brothers and my sisters when
you look and all of these other isms
and schisms Right?
People now begin to behave a certain way
he may end up what?
uttering a statement of kufr sometimes we hear
that religion needs to be reinterpreted so it
can what?
fit within her mindar it can fit within
what she is looking through Right?
It fits her narrative it needs to be
reinterpreted or when I come to a certain
verse now and one of these ladies stands
around and she says that this is extremely
unjust when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
x y and z even though Allah said
about himself وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًۭ Allah does
not oppress anyone these are very dangerous statements
that an individual now is uttering Right?
Extremely dangerous and these are some of the
modern day ideologies that today are piercing through
the hearts of Muslims and ripping them off
their identity their faith that's why it's extremely
important my brothers and my sisters for every
single one of us to learn about our
aqeedah Right?
You can take it back to every corruption
that we have in today's day and age
it originated from a corrupt belief فَقَلَّ مَنْ
تَجِلُ فِي اَعْتِقَادِي فَسَادًۭ إِلَّا وَهُ يُظْهِرُ ذَلِكُ
فِي عَمِلِهِ don't ever forget this you will
barely find someone with a corrupt belief except
that he will now begin to profess on
an individual's limbs whether it may be his
tongue whether it may be his his hands
or his Right?
his feet number two my brothers and my
sisters it is from the greatest of causes
to earn the love of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala you loving Allah azawajal and also
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala loving you right
and when we now begin to learn about
who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is and
his names and his attributes again when we
study the names and attributes of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala the objective behind is to
learn about who he is right?
the primary objective is not now for me
to start debating with others no the primary
objective my brothers and my sisters is to
learn about who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is would you guys not agree my brothers
and my sisters the more you learn about
someone the more you're the more likely you're
going to be respecting him put your hand
up if you're engaged mashallah a couple of
brothers are engaged that's the most I've ever
had whenever I've asked this question summer season
as well right wedding season huh why did
you pick her out of everyone else?
because of all the characteristics that you came
to know about her right?
show you a spoilt for choice huh Mr.
Handsome Mr. Wonderful you had all of these
ladies and mashallah right?
you are the chosen one to her and
she's the chosen one to you right?
but why this specific individual why?
simply because of all the things that you
came to know about her right?
it's a very very common problem that we
have my brothers and my sisters today a
lot of young people are given orders and
commandments and prohibitions by their parents or by
their elders to do x y and z
you tell that young child go and pray
he doesn't even know who he's praying to
agreed?
he doesn't know anything about Allah he doesn't
know anything about Al-Islam but when his
friend says to him go and do x
y and z he's ready right?
to conform to whatever his friends are asking
him for agreed my brothers and my sisters?
so how do we increase our love for
the Almighty Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala right?
the sustainer the disposer of all affairs our
creator learn about him right?
learn about who Allah azza wa jal and
our only source of knowledge that we have
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is what?
his name is Najmiz right?
not that i'm trying to compare Allah azza
wa jal right?
to uh to Bushra no never but you
picked her because of all the characteristics and
traits that you came to know about her
and then tomorrow you find out that she
wakes up in the last third of the
night and she prays to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and you're thinking to yourself i've
hit the jackpot because of what you came
to know about her likewise my brothers and
my sisters it's a similar impact when you
learn about Allah azza wa jal when you
learn about who he is in terms of
his wisdom why things take place is it
because Allah azza wa jal hates you or
is it because Allah azza wa jal wants
you to come back up stronger and that
everything happens for a reason not to punish
you my brothers and my sisters but because
Allah azza wa jal has something great awaiting
in store for you Allah right?
you will live a very different life my
brothers and my sisters treading this earth on
your journey to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
right?
see how it impacts your day-to-day
attitude whether it may be with people whether
it may be with your parents more specifically
your work colleagues right?
and also the calamities and the hardships that
come your way the hadith of Aisha radiallahu
ta'ala on her that the messenger of
Allah a.s sent a convoy right?
and he placed in charge of them one
of the companions right?
and you know what he would do my
brothers and my sisters in all of his
prayers he would read every time he reads
the salam my brothers and my sisters he's
leading them right?
next raka'a and the next time they
pray behind him and when they went back
they mentioned this to the messenger of Allah
a.s so the messenger of Allah a
.s said ask him why he does that
so they asked him you know what his
response was?
because is the attribute of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala the most merciful right?
and he said and I love to read
surah al-ikhlas in my prayer you know
what the messenger of Allah a.s said?
tell him that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
loves him right?
this is an individual my brothers and my
sisters whose heart became filled with the love
of Allah a.s and that is because
he internalized which can be turned intellectious which
can be turned into what?
intellectuals of my brothers and my sisters right?
also Ibn al-Qayyim says what belongs about
Allah a.s his names and his attributes
and the actions of Allah a.s it
is a must that love will be acquired
it is a must no two ways about
it so I think every single one of
us insha'Allah is going to start what?
learning about the names and attributes of Allah
a.s right?
after this wallah if you ask me right?
I would say that this is key especially
in today's day and age right?
especially in today's day and age when you
have young people being dragged left right and
center right?
they're being dragged to different directions my brothers
and my sisters but they don't know
nothing about Allah a.s also says when
you learn about your monotheism my brothers and
my sisters your Tawheed it opens the door
of goodness and happiness you do the right
thing my brothers and my sisters and I
always say this to our sisters you withholding
from displaying yourself all over the internet thinking
thinking my brothers and my sisters that prince
charming is not going to come along right?
a Tawheed right?
my brothers and my sisters and I've given
examples before I think last time I delivered
a lecture here right?
I delivered a lecture here I gave an
example of a woman who was conscious of
Allah a.s in private she was somebody
who internalized the capabilities and actions of Allah
right?
and then subhanAllah Umar ibn Khattab happened to
be patrolling that night and leaning on her
wall and he heard about how conscious she
was of Allah a.s commandments and then
she ended up getting married that was right?
as a result of her Tawheed right?
number three my brothers and my sisters being
ignorant when it comes to one's Aqeedah it
could potentially lead to you right?
worshipping nothing if you have a misconstrued understanding
of who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
and when it comes to his attributes and
his names and also his capabilities imagine somebody
now holds this belief that Allah a.s
has no names and he has no attributes
whatsoever right?
if you ask him now to describe nothing
right?
if you ask him now to describe nothing
it would be similar to when he describes
Allah a.s because he has completely removed
all of his names and attributes right?
someone who likens Allah to his creation which
we don't do my brothers and my sisters
he eventually will end up what?
worshipping an idol because the way the idol
came about my brothers and my sisters was
Quraish or those who came before them they
will have this idea about how Allah a
.s looks and then they would depict him
in the form of a Sanam a statue
or an idol Sahih?
and then he says well Mu'atil is
someone who completely right?
removes the names and attributes of Allah a
.s he says he ends up worshipping nothing
as for the Mu'ahid the one who
sings without Allah a.s he worships how
many are we on?
three right?
number four my brothers and my sisters without
having an Aqeedah a belief my brothers and
my sisters right?
that is valid in the eyes of Allah
a.s it could be that all of
your hard good deeds my brothers and my
sisters are not accepted and I'll give you
guys the example of what Ibn Umar a
.s mentioned he says what
does Qadar mean?
what does Qadar mean brothers?
it's from one of the six articles of
faith right?
this is one creedal aspect of many agreed?
this is one creedal aspect of many we
mentioned that it's one article from the six
articles of faith right?
he swears by Allah by the one who
my soul is in his hand have you
guys ever seen Uhud?
mountain Uhud?
for those who have gone to Umrah he
visited Jabal Rumat where the battle of Uhud
took place right?
and then the guide always points out there's
a huge mountain there Uhud!
he says if you have a mountain of
Uhud of such right?
in gold which you then give to charity
it will not be accepted from him until
he believes in the Qadar Subhanallah so this
is why here we're being encouraged now to
learn about a Muslim's belief system right?
also Allah azzawajal he says to the prophets
and if they commit shirk my brothers and
my sisters whatever they used to do will
become void right?
that's why again it's important for one now
to learn about that which is correct in
terms of his belief also directly the message
sallallahu alayhi wasallam was taught you oh Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wasallam the greatest man to ever
walk on the face of this earth you
oh Muhammad if you commit shirk all of
your actions will become what?
no it'll become void by the way what
does shirk mean brothers and sisters?
this is the greatest sin it's more greater
than murder it's more greater than what?
riba, zina and so on and so forth
it is the attribute that which is exclusive
to Allah to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
right?
the next point my brothers and my sisters
not embracing the aqeedah that is required of
us my brothers and my sister may well
be the reason why we are thrown into
the hellfire right?
we know the famous hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he said and that
the Muslims are going to what?
split into 73 sects messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam
said all of them are in the hellfire
except one who is this group my brothers
and my sisters when he was asked that
which I am upon today and my companions
this my brothers and my sisters is an
encouragement for us to try our utmost best
right?
to do what the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam
done and what the companions came with right?
we try to imitate them right?
we go through the hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam how did the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wasallam wake up?
right?
what did the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam do
when he entered into the bathroom like every
step that we take every move that we
make we try to make sure that this
is in line with what the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wasallam and his companions came and by
that we increase the chances of entering into
al jannah right?
it is their understanding my brothers and my
sisters that we want to live with when
navigating and maneuvering around right?
what we have today right?
this is why when it comes to how
we practice our religion my brothers and my
sisters we look at the book of Allah
azawajal and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam sunnah
upon whose understanding the three golden generations who
are these three golden generations the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wasallam he told us the best generation
is my generation and those who came after
them and those who came after them huh?
they are referred to as what?
as salaf and when i use this term
i'm not speaking about people that are currently
breathing today i'm speaking about what?
the three golden generations of the past it's
their understanding that we are in need of
when it comes to understanding our religion having
said that my brothers and my sisters when
it comes to the four madhahib are we
against them?
right?
by the way imam bu hanifa rahmatullahi alayhi
he met right?
anas ibn malik radiyallahu ta'ala anhu that's
reported by ibn kathir and others right?
imam malik rahmatullahi alayhi was from the tabi
'ut tabi'in or atba'ut tabi'in
right?
and the other two my brothers and my
sisters imam shafi, imam ahmed they wouldn't fall
under the three golden generations however they were
great imam these four when it comes to
fiqh in taking that journey and understanding islamic
jurisprudence right?
and there's no contradiction between the two does
that make sense my brothers and my sisters
having said that my brothers and my sisters
and i'm going to keep repeating this we
are not walking away today believing that we
have some sort of green card now to
enter into al-jannah right?
we're trying to learn as much as we
can in order to get closer to allah
azawjal so that we can enter into al
-jannah right?
wasim al-taymi rahmatullahi alayhi mentions regards to
what i was speaking about earlier and following
the three golden generations he says the position
of the people of the sunnah and jamaah
is a very old belief it's not something
that i'm personally coming with right?
well before allah azawajal created the four great
imams it is the madhab of the sahaba
that which they took from their prophet right?
why am i mentioning this my brothers and
my sisters when we study this manzuma ibn
taymiyya well you know the manzuma has been
ascribed to him and there's difference between as
to whether it is his or whether it's
not we go off with the view that
it is his he mentions right at the
end that whatever i'm mentioning to you guys
is not something that is exclusive to me
right?
this is the belief of the four great
imams and so on and so forth and
last but not least my brothers and my
sisters before i start the the manzuma the
poem the messenger salallahu alayhi wasalam when it
came to the belief system of a muslim
it would irritate him if it was opposed
simply because of how serious it is right?
we know through a hadith of the prophet
salallahu alayhi wasalam right?
one time he said the messenger salallahu alayhi
wasalam entered upon us and we were arguing
about and the messenger salallahu alayhi wasalam had
this he became angry to the point that
his face became red what does that show
us my brothers my sisters that the aqeel
is a light matter it's an extremely extremely
important right?
and then he turned to us he said
is this what you are commanded with?
or is this why i was sent to
you?
when it comes to the aqeel you begin
to dispute and argue amongst yourselves and then
he said the people before you they were
destroyed simply because they started arguing about these
things right?
right?
i say to you and i want you
guys to agree to what i'm saying and
to fulfill this commandment that you do not
dispute about these things also one time subhanallah
in the time of abdullah ibn umar right?
yahya ibn ya'mar and also abdulrahman alhimyari who
were from the tabi'een they went to
the kaaba the narrator says either it was
for hajj or for umrah right?
and they said to abdullah ibn umar upon
running into him indeed there has appeared the
group of people who recite the book of
allah azawajal and they claim to have knowledge
and then he mentioned about them right?
they claim the following my brothers and my
sisters i'm gonna now demonstrate it right this
group of people that appeared in the time
of abdullah ibn umar radiyallahu ta'ala anhu
and it's really really upset him because they
began to change what the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam came with right?
they would claim huh?
i'm gonna drop this to make a point
the phone i dropped the phone right allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't know that the
phone has been dropped until after it has
been dropped right?
and the issues of qadr my brothers and
my sisters is extremely extremely important and relevant
especially in today's day and age as well
directly linked to the issues of atheism where
one now begins to completely deny allah azza
wa jal why certain things take place and
if there is really a god then you
can see that the topic what it eventually
comes back to the issues of al-qadr
so when some of these topics are taught
it should be tweaked in a way that
is relevant in order to tackle some of
the ideologies that are currently rampant in today's
day and age such as atheism right?
so these corrupt beliefs were there and as
time went on shaytan just looked for different
ways to package it in order to cause
people to go astray and atheism my brothers
and my sister is a product of that
again importance of aqidah my brothers and my
sisters so ala kulli hal upon hearing this
you know what ibn umar said to abdulrahman
al-himyari and also yahya ibn ya'mar when
you see these people fa idha laqeeta olaika
fa akhbirhum tell them anni bari i am
free from them ana bari'un minhum wa
anhum bura'un minni and they are what?
free from me and then he mentioned what
i said earlier where he swore by allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala by the one whose
soul is in my hand right?
if they were now to spend in charity
that which is equivalent to a mountain of
gold like uhud it will not be accepted
from now until what?
they believe in al-qadr to proceed now
my brothers and my sisters we'll get straight
into the poem right?
earlier i kind of touched on whether this
uh manzuma this poem is in fact the
poem of ibn taymi rahmatullahi alayhi right?
some say it's not some say it is
whether it is or not my brothers and
my sister and whatever the case may be
right?
ibn taymi rahmatullahi alayhi has other statements whether
it may be in the majmoo' al-fatawa
or some of his other books that are
exactly in line with what we're going to
be taking insha'allah wa ta'ala in
this manzuma okay?
it's a very nice short poem where we
learn a little bit about our aqeedah right?
as a muslim so ibn taymi rahmatullahi alayhi
for those who don't know him does anyone
know his name?
what's his name?
is that his name?
it is right?
his nickname is what?
his nickname is and taymiyya my brothers and
my sisters believe it or not is actually
what?
a woman's name it is a woman's name
subhanallah right?
is attributed to his grandmother hmm?
or should i say great-grandmother?
the arabs when they say grandmother they mean
by it anyone fee wa ma'ala right?
and she was a righteous woman and subhanallah
the whole family eventually ended up being attributed
to this lady even though right?
there was many scholars within the family another
great scholar within the family is al majd
the grandfather of ibn taymi rahmatullahi alayhi his
name is abdus salam are you brothers and
sisters with me?
what does that show you?
that it could be whatever it might be
or whoever it might be because of the
virtue that becomes associated to it ends up
dragging everything else with it as well right?
and this is and i don't want to
of course compare this situation with the quran
but the notion that i just mentioned right
now whatever the quran touches it makes it
great agreed?
just to show you that if something is
great my brothers and my sister or one
does a noble thing he ends up dragging
the things around it towards his direction if
you look at prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
he became the greatest of the prophets when
you look at angel jibrael he became the
greatest of the angels when you look at
the greatest of places which is what mecca
it became the greatest of the places because
of the quran that came down upon it
and he can become the greatest of the
people as well my brothers and my sisters
if you learn the book of allah azawajal
you surround yourself with khair you will see
a lot of things gravitating towards you okay
so he says says oh you who asks
about my aqeedah right?
and that which i follow my madhab the
person who's looking for guidance my brothers and
my sisters right?
if he searches for it he goes out
his way now to be guided allahu subhanahu
wa ta'ala will eventually what?
guided you guys heard the story of salman
al-farsi right?
he went from one religion to another and
eventually found islam if you show allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala that you really badly want
something there is no reason as to why
allah azawajal should reject you you're sincere in
that allah says allah sees that goodness in
your heart he'll give it to you right?
and from the ways to really show allah
azawajal that you badly want guidance is to
call on him to ask him constantly right?
what are we taught in surah al-fatiha?
we may read it but we might not
necessarily internalize it 17 times a day ya
allah guide me to the right path right?
even there is a dua that is highly
preferable and advisable that an individual you know
asks allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through his
dua because of the meaning that it carries
right?
oh allah show me the truth and grant
me the ability to follow it and show
me the falsehood and that which goes against
the truth and allow me now to stay
away from it right?
and of course you have the excessive dua
that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would
make all the time oh turn off the
hearts keep my hearts firm upon your religion
right?
so he says my brothers and my sisters
oh you who asks about my madhhab and
my aqeedah i thought i mentioned it early
but i didn't what is the meaning of
aqeedah my brothers and my sisters is that
which one ties to his heart right?
in terms of religion that which an individual
ties to his heart in terms of religion
right?
he says right?
and we've touched on a little bit there
are different types of hidayah different types of
hidayah the first type that i'm going to
mention my brothers and my sisters different types
of guidances that i think is worth mentioning
this is a general type of guidance guiding
the creation to that which is going to
rectify their dunya normally under this couplet my
brothers and my sisters there would only be
two types that i mentioned right?
i'm going to mention four very very quickly
and these are general types of guidances right?
when allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guides the
animals and a young child my brothers and
my sisters to be able to feed herself
right?
who taught the child my brothers and my
sisters right?
the ability who told him that and he
just came into this world did the mother
start teaching him?
this is the hidayah of allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala upon this individual or upon this
child and likewise the animals as soon as
they come into this world they're able what?
to feed themselves they're able to quench their
thirst allah azawajal grants them a guidance number
two my brothers my sisters is hidayatul ahlil
jannati ilal jannati walnaar ilal naar allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala guiding the people of jannah
and the people of the hellfire to the
hellfire number three my brothers and my sisters
and number four very very important and it'll
help us put things into perspective right?
hidayatul tawfiq wal ilham this is now the
third one and then you have the fourth
one hidayatul da'wati wal bayani wal irshad
pay attention my brothers and my sisters right?
there are two verses in the quran where
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is addressing his
prophet number one when the prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam's uncle passed away right?
a verse came down does anyone know the
verse that came down?
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tried to guide
him right?
this is an uncle my brothers and my
sisters that used to defend the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam and helped him in his
cause in his dawah na'amuna allah azza
wa jalla said innaka la tahdi man ahbabt
walakinna allah yahdi man isha you oh muhammad
you do not guide the people that you
love but it is allah azza wa jalla
guides people but then in another verse allahu
subhanahu wa ta'ala says wa innaka la
tahdi ilayash ila sirat al mustaqeem or ila
zirat right?
different qiraat you oh muhammad you're going to
guide the people to the right path how
do we reconcile between the two?
how do we reconcile between the two my
brothers and my sisters?
you are able to direct the people to
that which they should follow to al islam
to what the sunnah of the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is right?
you can show the people however can you
grab that guidance and place in people's hearts?
you can't this is something that even some
of the prophets couldn't do my brothers and
my sisters some of the prophets couldn't do
this my brothers and my sisters you have
the wife of who?
noh you also have the wife of?
lord it's mentioned in which surah?
surat al tahreem alayhi salatu wa sallam nahum
the two wives who did not embrace al
islam they didn't accept in fact they were
upon disbelief subhanallah likewise noh alayhi salatu wa
sallam he tells his son son get on
thee get on the ship don't worry dad
i'm gonna go all the way on top
of the mountain and i'll be saved from
this flood was he saved?
no he wasn't the prophets couldn't save them
and ibn al qayyim rahmatullahi alayhi when he
talks about the different traps and tricks that
he has up his sleeve yaani the devil
very very quickly the first he tries to
get you to do kufr number two he
can't get you to do kufr he tries
to get you to do what?
bid'ah number three he can't get you
to do these two he now moves on
to what?
major sins number four he can't get you
to do major sins my brothers and my
sisters what does he trap you with?
minor sins he can't get you to do
any of these four you are a top
guy in the eyes of the devil now
he tries to busy you with number five
which is that which is less beneficial from
that which is more beneficial that's five and
number six ibn al qayyim mentions this is
something that even the prophets had a lot
of trouble with and they couldn't prevent it
using your family my brothers and my sisters
now the devil uses your family in order
to misguide you or to lead you astray
or to harm you right mocking you ah
mr righteous huh yesterday you were doing all
this haram and now you want to tell
me what is right and what is wrong
it sounds a little bit like fir'aun
you know fir'aun when he said to
musa huh when musa came to him and
when musa came to him with the da
'wah to al islam you know what he
said to him wa fa'alata fa'alata
allathee fa'alata wa anta min al qiyam
you you you're a kathir bro you you
did all of that stuff and now what
you're from the allahumma sa'ad so my
brothers and my sisters right showing the people
the right path however the guidance who places
it inside of the heart my brothers and
my sisters that's none other than allahu subhanahu
wa ta'ala no one has the capability
to right insert that guidance into your heart
other than allahu jalla fi'al la' and
then he concludes the line of poetry by
saying what yath'alu i think this is
very very important to ask my brothers and
my sisters right to pursue that guidance and
you can only get the answers to your
questions if you ask to remove that ignorance
that you are suffering from that's why one
time my brothers and my sisters in the
time of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
there was a man who was struck in
the head right right and when he was
struck in the head my brothers and my
sisters he passed out upon waking up he
woke up in the state of janaba so
he asked around him what should i do
they all told him you need to go
and have a bath a purification bath you
need to do ghusl he ended up doing
the ghusl he ended up what dying messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam became furious he said
they killed him may Allah kill them right
and then he said to them my brothers
and my sisters why didn't they ask if
they didn't know indeed the cure to ignorance
my brothers and my sisters is to ask
it's a sickness my brothers and my sisters
to be ignorant and you can only uplift
that from yourself if you ask and then
he goes on to say my brothers and
my sisters right listen to the speech of
the one who has asserted the truth right
you may think to yourself my brothers and
my sisters here if this is in fact
the statement it comes across a little bit
arrogant i found the truth this is the
truth the only truth and nothing but the
truth and that is because my brothers and
my sisters he exerted all of his efforts
in order to try and find that which
was apparent to him to be the truth
right and i read out within or what
you can find in perhaps it will put
things in the perspective he
said right after putting down a belief system
for those who asks him he wrote it
down for him and he sent it to
them whatever now i've compiled here my brothers
and my sisters he says right after trying
to find the correct answers and to find
that which right is in line with the
truth my brothers and my sisters he says
this is not specific and exclusive to imam
ahmed rahmatullahi alayhi right imam
ahmed is someone who conveys that which was
sent down upon the messenger right and then
he says and this is a very very
important aspect of how we navigate and maneuver
around that which we may be challenged with
he says if
imam ahmed rahmatullahi alayhi came with something from
his own accord with regards to what a
muslim needs to believe we wouldn't accept it
unless it came from muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam
right up until he goes on to say
my brothers and my sisters i've
given anyone who differs with me on that
which i have put forward right three years
he says right three
years you have please correct me this is
the humility of ibn taymiyya rahmatullahi alayhi he
tried to find the right answer right and
then he said to his opponents three years
i'm more than happy to revisit any of
these positions i'm more than happy to revisit
any of these positions that i have right
so i can then what look into it
more or perhaps even retract hmm right right
so my brothers and my sisters just to
give you guys some sort of confidence with
regards to what we're studying it didn't just
come out of thin air right he's saying
what i'm about to go through right that
which i'm about to relate right now it's
not specific to imam ahmed this was the
belief of imam ahmed but even then it's
not actually specific to him right because what
imam ahmed came with he says it is
that which the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam came
with right and this is what we want
to embrace as muslims with regards to one's
belief system la
yanthani anhu wala yitabaddalu taib then he goes
on to say my brothers and my sisters
this is now which line of poetry for
those who have it what are we on
huh we're on line number three guys that's
considered one and then two and heck of
it right he says the
love of the companions is what i follow
but here he said all of the companions
as an idaf for those who know the
arabic language all of the companions loving them
is my belief as a muslim loving right
the relatives of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam
is a good deed that i seek a
means of tawassul to allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala and i'll explain inshallah in a moment
what that actually means right who's the sahabi
my brothers and my sisters huh he said
anyone that saw the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
is that it this is a deficient definition
and then he died and he didn't die
upon deviance huh anyone else he says anyone
that met the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam the
best definition my brothers and my sisters is
the definition of ibn hajar right he says
every person who met the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wasallam and believed in him because there are
those who met the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam
but did they actually believe in him you
guys bringing into al islam the hypocrites guys
huh come on tayyib well also what maa
ta'ala al islam and he also what
died upon al islam it could be someone
that met the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam believed
in him and then he apostated is he
now a companion my brothers and my sisters
is he a companion no the scholars are
different into two right he met the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wasallam believed in him but then
died upon kufr is he a sahabi he
loses he loses the privilege of being called
a sahabi why if now my brothers and
my sisters he met the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wasallam he believed in him right and then
he apostated while the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam
was alive and then re-entered into al
islam after the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam passed
away does he keep the privilege of being
referred to as a companion there's a difference
of opinion but the sahih qawl is that
he does uh this is why my brothers
and my sisters i mean what we're just
taking now is extremely important i'll tell you
guys why because the way the companions are
dealt with in our religion is very different
to everyone else the sahaba they have a
virtue and they have a grace my brothers
my sisters that is unparalleled to anyone else
you guys with me right they cannot be
compared to anyone right that is outside the
realm of being a companion so i'm going
to inshallah mention that there are three rights
when it comes to the companions three rights
the last thing that we want is you
guys to start speaking badly about the companions
and jeopardize your akhira my brothers and my
sisters right it's important that we mention is
because you're going to go online and you'll
see people insulting ayesha radiallahu ta'ala insulting
umar, uthman right number one my brothers and
my sister right not holding any negativity right
in your heart towards the companions and not
right being vile towards them the way of
the believer as allahu subhanahu wa ta'ala
mentioned is from
the traits of these believers my brothers and
my sisters is that they make dua for
those who preceded them in iman yeah allah
forgive them right those who preceded us in
faith right making dua to allah to forgive
them and the messenger of allah clearly and
explicitly mentioned my brothers and my sisters you
swore by allah right you swore by allah
the messenger of allah said do not insult
my companions and then he swore by allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala if you were to
spend right if you were to spend in
gold the size of uhud my brothers and
my sisters you will not be able to
come anywhere near them anywhere near them my
brothers and my sisters in simple terms right
they are a group of people my brothers
and my sisters that no one will ever
be like because allahu subhanahu wa ta'ala
praised them and he gave them tazkiyah right
and also when you think about it my
brothers and my sisters would you agree that
insulting the companions is in essence insulting islam
why because they witnessed the wahi the revelation
coming down they carried it and then they
went and spread it learn about them my
brothers and my sisters what they went through
and wallahi you're going to take them as
your role models today we hear about we
don't have any role models wallahi this is
kalib this is a lie we have enough
examples and role models amongst the companions in
how to live our lives when it comes
to courage when it comes to being truthful
when it comes to submission when it comes
to humility we have that amongst companions how
to deal with our wives how to deal
with our children we have all of that
my brothers and my sisters within the companions
right because we're short on time my brothers
and my sisters like i said before i
asked you guys to learn about what after
we leave today the names and attributes of
allah azza wa jal i also i'm going
to ask you guys now to learn about
something else and that is the lives of
these companions you want your iman also to
go up my brothers and my sisters learn
about their lives right in just about every
aspect of life they were role models in
that and where did they take this from
none other than the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam right even though we had so much
going on he still gave time to the
people number two my brothers and my sisters
the right that they have over us is
At-Taradhi Wa At-Tarahumu Alayhim At-Taradhi
Wa At-Tarahumu Alayhim to ask allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala to be pleased with them
Radhiya Allahu Anhum whenever the names are mentioned
what do we say?
Radhiya Allahu Anhum we ask allah azza wa
jal to have mercy upon them this is
the rights that they have upon us number
three my brothers and my sisters Al-Kaf
Wa Al-Sukutu Amma Shajara Baynahum it's from
the signs of someone who follows the sunnah
of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to
withhold to bite our tongues from the things
that happened between the companions certain times of
the years my brothers and my sisters you
will hear certain individuals right upping what they
begin to say about the companions right are
you brothers and sisters with me?
huh this happened that happened amongst the companions
and this that what we believe my brothers
and my sisters as individuals who are trying
to follow the quran and the sunnah of
the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam yes there
were issues that happened between the companions right
like the two companions Ali Ibn Abi Talib
Radhiya Allahu Ta'ala Anhum and also who
Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan however is it our
place now to start criticizing this one and
criticizing that one?
no right even though we believe that Ali
Radhiya Allahu Ta'ala Anhum was more correct
having said that I shouldn't take away from
one accepting that Muawiyah Radhiya Allahu Ta'ala
Anhum is a companion of the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam and that he was someone
that used to write down the revelation with
his pen Ibn Taymiyya rahmatullahi alayhi my beloved
brothers and sisters he says a lot of
the reports that you will find regarding right
the issues that happened between the companions my
brothers and my sisters right a lot of
it are lies and some reports have had
things added on to it a bit like
Chinese whispers what happens with Chinese this is
my brothers and sisters it goes from one
person to another and then things are added
and then the guy might forget and so
on and so forth and sometimes things are
taken out and whatever is valid and authentic
right the sahaba my brothers and my sisters
are mujtahidun we've heard the famous hadith of
the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam right if
the hakim now the ruler he tries to
pass a ruling and he's incorrect in that
then he gets one reward or the mufti
right the qadi the judge and so on
and so forth he gets one reward if
he gets it right then he gets two
rewards messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said this
and the sahaba all of them my brothers
and my sisters in terms of the decisions
and actions that they had to take they
are mujtahidun in that they strive to get
the right answer and they are between either
what either correct or mistaken but either way
they are getting reward so beware my brothers
and my sisters to ever speak ill of
any of the companions right also muhammad ibn
sirin who was from the students of abu
hurayr radiallahu ta'ala you know he said
he says when the fitn that happened it
reached boiling point right the companions my brothers
and my sisters they were 10 000 and
those who attended some of these battles that
took place right he says a hundred but
radhi says it doesn't even reach 30 of
them right even when they say about ayesha
radiallahu ta'ala and they make all of
these claims about her right when she went
out and i know i'm speaking in very
coded language here or very summarized version of
it right she never went out in order
to claim rulership my brothers my sisters she
wanted in fact to rectify between the two
groups that were there now when it comes
to loving the family of the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is a good deed that
i see closeness to allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala with right when we say the family
of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam my
brothers and my who comes under it these
four my brothers and my sisters the family
of ali right who comes under that hassan
and hussein right anyone here from the prophet's
family we have one brother or is there
a difference of opinion in regards to the
lineage right
when we say alulbayt we intend by these
four that we just mentioned and we know
my brothers and my sisters through the texts
right through the texts that the ahlulbayt they
have a privilege the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam specifically made mention of them to be
safeguarded to be protected right to be treated
with kindness and so on and so forth
then comes my brothers and my sisters the
controversial topic of hussein what is it that
we should believe in regards to hussein ibn
taymiyya says the following i keep mentioning ibn
taymiyya because this poem has been attributed to
ibn taymiyya as i mentioned before right that
which ibn taymiyya mentions in this manzuma or
that which is attributed to him you can
find it elsewhere right sometimes we are made
to look like as if we hate the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's family right my
brothers and my sisters no absolutely not right
if you deny that which the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam has specifically made mention of
and you negate it and you claim complete
otherwise then my brothers and my sisters can
actually take you out of the fold of
islam right ibn taymiyya says whoever
killed
hussein or aided and assisted in him being
killed or is pleased with it then upon
him is the caste of allah azza wa
jalla the angels and everyone else and allah
accept anything from him right so we love
and in fact we have to love the
prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's family because the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said i leave
with you these two great things one is
bigger than the other kitabullah the book of
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said it is a
rope from the heaven all the way to
the earth you hold on to it and
then also he said right my family the
ahlul bayt in another hadith the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said right i remind you
of my family i remind you of my
family and i remind you of my family
in another narration the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said he said
keeping ties with the family of the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is more beloved to
me than keeping ties with my own family
to conclude this point my brothers and my
sisters i'm going to mention what the mentioned
right he says he says
some people some
people my brothers and my sisters he says
that when he comes to the prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam's family and everyone else they
see them as equals they see them as
equals i
think it's very very important my brothers my
sisters right it's a point of contention you
say to him this is a person from
the family of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam and then he says one is only
honorable if he has a taqwa downplaying the
emphasis that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
gave to the kindness that one should show
to the family of the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam right and he says to the
point that one begins to wish that he
didn't even say that this person is sharif
right and then the sheikh goes on to
say one right will not be honorable except
with a taqwa however the prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam mentioned to us specifically and explicitly
that their lineage is honorable that their lineage
is honorable right whether you like it whether
you are satisfied with it or not this
is the rights that the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam talked about with regards to what
he says if you honor an individual who's
from the family of the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam you are an honorable individual having
said all of that my brothers and my
sisters how do we reconcile between everything we
may see an individual who's from the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's family and he's insulting
the companions right just because now he's from
the family of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam does that mean he's entitled to go
and do whatever he wishes right yes the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave emphasis with
regards to the lineage and how honorable it
is and noble however my brothers and my
sisters that's not going to get you into
al jannah it's one thing us being taught
how to treat someone from the family of
the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam however your
lineage is not going to get you into
al jannah we need to be balanced here
my brothers and my sisters that's why the
poet he says right
that which is going to benefit you when
you enter into your grave my brothers and
my sisters is not your nasab is not
your lineage or how powerful your tribe was
back home don't leave our taqwa
my brothers and my sisters because you think
that your lineage is going to save you
salman al farisi was he from the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's family my brothers and
my sisters he was a pagan but allah
azza wa jalla raised him because of what
because of islam right then you also have
my brothers and my sisters abu lahab the
uncle of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
did his lineage benefit him my brothers and
my sisters he says right he in fact
became humiliated and his lineage was not able
to save him right allah i remember subhanallah
i was in east london i remember exactly
where he was the man came up to
me and he said me being from the
prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's family is that
enough for me now to enter into al
jannah huh what's the answer brothers and sisters
no we have to honor people who are
from the family of the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam when he sees someone from the
family of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
he stops whatever he's doing and goes and
kisses him on the forehead i'm not asking
you guys to kiss me on the forehead
huh let me get out of here alive
brothers huh point is we're learning here what
is required for us to believe so we
don't go into extremes and likewise don't fall
short does that make sense my brothers and
sisters fortunately as time went on right the
rise of the albeit huh have been downplayed
and sidelined as if it has no significance
whatsoever while at the same time your lineage
is not going to save you my brothers
and my sisters as allah mentioned in the
quran akramakum indallahi atqakum the most honorable from
amongst you is the one who has the
most taqwa also the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said whoever slow in coming with righteousness
his lineage is not going to come or
he's not going to rush right to save
him you guys tired
huh you guys writing down the notes huh
i see some of you guys are writing
you know the poet my brothers and my
sisters he says it is a must that
the talib that the students he grabbed he
carries with him scrap paper he writes when
he rides and he writes when he walks
abu taymi came along in the year 2020
i believe and decided to change up or
tweak this line of poetry so it can
be relevant to our lives no one carries
scrap paper here today right but we carry
our phones and our gadgets so i change
it to instead of saying kunash which means
scrap paper la budda li talib min aybadin
yaktu fihi rakiban omashin fresher way of saying
ipad right so it rhymes within the line
of poetry you carry with yourself these gadgets
and your ipads and you write down these
notes wallahi some of the notes that i'm
sharing with you guys my brothers and my
sister i came across it maybe seven eight
years ago and i saved it on this
apple iphone and then he says every single
one of them my brothers and my sisters
has a status and a shining excellence right
but before we uh go into this line
of poetry my brothers my sisters i forgot
to mention that which relates to a tawassul
my brothers my sister it is to seek
a means to get closer to allah when
you make dua to allah right we can
do tawassul we can do what at tawassul
which is to seek a means to get
closer to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala or
to hope for our dua now to get
accepted and there are three types number one
through the names mention the names of allah
azza wa jal when making a dua number
two very very quickly through righteous deeds you
guys know the the three that got stuck
in the cave you guys heard the story
of the three that got stuck in the
cave and then they said the only thing
that we can do is make dua to
allah azza wa jal through our righteous deeds
and each one of them would make the
dua ya allah if i done this sincerely
for your sake one of them subhanallah my
brothers and my sister was a man who
was approached by his cousin and his cousin
needed a bit of money right and he
stipulated upon her that he would give her
this loan and then when he was about
to now commit a zina with his cousin
my brothers and my sisters he wanted to
take advantage of her right using her to
commit haram she told him don't open the
seal except in the right way meaning through
nikah and so on and so forth and
then he held back and didn't commit the
haram right and then he gave her the
money and he made dua to allah azza
wa jal through this righteous deed ya allah
if i done that for your sake meaning
i left the haram for your sake and
open the cave a part of it would
open but they still weren't able to get
out and then the other two also mentioned
their righteous deeds right what does that show
us my brothers and my sisters how can
i make this relatable to the lives of
many of us who are sitting here today
right under your blanket nobody's watching except allah
azza wa jal it's times like that when
you leave that which the shaytan is whispering
to you to carry out allah azza wa
jal will open those here a bit of
the cave opened up right wallahi it could
be the reason why your life takes a
turn for the better and then the third
is making dua to allah azza wa jal
through right the through the dua of a
righteous man this is exactly what umar al
-khattab radi allahu ta'ala done when there
was a drought he asked to make dua
to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala these are
three forms of tawassul that we find through
the quran and the sunnah of the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also muawi radi allahu
ta'ala and he done this through yazid
ibn aswad who was a righteous man for
you to go up to a righteous man
asking him not to make dua to allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala does that make sense
no so which one does the love that
you have for ahlul bayt and treating them
kindly fall under the first second or third
pay attention my brothers and sisters i mentioned
the love that you have for the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's family and the kindness
that you show them you make dua to
allah azza wa jal asking allah ya allah
i ask you through these righteous deeds of
me being kind towards al bait right and
the love that i have for them huh
first second or third something every
single one of them has a high status
and a shining excellence in the eyes of
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala from amongst the
companions right from amongst the companions however there
are some companions my brothers and my sister
are more virtuous and more greater than others
who is the greatest from amongst all of
them a companion that the messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam asked to lead in his lifetime
even one time the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam right was asked huh who
from amongst the people is most beloved to
you right what do you think the answer
was and then he was asked from amongst
the men he said right and then he
said umar and so on and so forth
and there's so many other narrations my brothers
and sisters right we used to hold
preferences from amongst the companions and we would
choose one over the other in terms of
greatness and virtue abu bakr would always be
what the number one whenever he used to
compare abu bakr to anybody read up his
seerah my brothers and my sisters and his
life that's the third thing i've mentioned to
you guys number one was what learning the
names of allah number two is what huh
learning about the companions and number three more
specifically he didn't become the greatest of people
my brothers and my sisters for no reason
there's an authentic narration my brothers and my
sisters right he says right if anyone is
brought to me preferring me over abu bakr
and umar i would lash him right and
i would whip him the same way you
whip somebody who fabricates and lies like then
he goes on to say i
say with regards to the quran right i
say when it comes to the quran the
information that we are given in the quran
by allah subhanahu wa ta'ala right i
believe it i i reiterate it i believe
in it right in terms of his ayat
versus whenever allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speaks
about his names and his attributes in the
manner that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
sent it down right my brothers and sisters
with me allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
sent down the quran right this is the
speech of allah whatever allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala sent down in his quran we consider
this to be what his speech why is
this important my brothers and my sisters to
believe that the quran of allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala or his speech isn't actually created
does anybody know we
say that the speech of allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is created and we have the
rest of his makhluqat as well the rest
of his creation what are we really doing
in essence it's almost we what put the
speech of allah azza wa jal in par
with all of the rest of his creation
and even when we scroll back my brothers
and my sisters and we rewind how this
innovation now became widespread of allah azza wa
jal's speech being created it was in order
to place this created speech that they claim
with one's intellect think about it my brothers
and my sisters if you say that the
quran is created and you also have an
intellect that is created what have you done
here you've put it both on par with
one another right isn't this a bell word
that we have at this moment in time
giving your intellect preference and precedence over what
allah azza wa jal has sent down think
about it with a lot of these modern
day ideologies what makes the quran different to
your intellect if both of them are created
this is why if you guys may remember
right at the beginning and i even said
this today in the khutbah every modern day
ideology or every narrative that people have created
in order to structure one's life with it's
always going to be flawed this is the
state of everything that has been created but
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala speech is not
created it is divine you will find flaws
in all of these different modern day ideologies
my brothers and my sisters there will be
discrepancies there will be contradictions right and i
like to repeat this all the line all
the time where do you draw the line
with regards to what we should do and
what we shouldn't do right i'll say that
again where do you draw the line with
regards to what one should do and what
one shouldn't do and what is morally acceptable
and what isn't morally acceptable we live in
a world my brothers and my sister that
is changing very very quickly what was perfectly
acceptable maybe 50 years ago is no longer
the case today you know my brothers and
my sisters i sit with husbands and wives
all the time arbitrating between them sometimes this
is uh for you guys who are looking
to get married huh pay attention my brothers
and sisters when i'm arbitrating between them they've
got problems between themselves right the husband says
i don't like the way she dresses when
she goes outside she turns around and she
says why is this guy being so harsh
for why is he being so harsh she
then says about him i don't like the
fact that he has right interactions with the
opposite gender via text message they're texting each
other all the time he turns around and
he says okay she's just a friend at
work can you see problems are taking place
within marriages where do you draw the line
of what is acceptable and what is not
with regards to this world that is becoming
more and more colorful all the time my
brothers and my sisters right this has been
made acceptable hmm one thing leads to another
and as the messenger of allah told us
there doesn't come a time except the time
that comes after is worse these guys are
saying love is love what is preventing them
from having love is love where do you
draw the line with regards to what is
acceptable and what is not hmm this is
why we can't accept right or what's the
term that i'm looking for huh this is
something that we can't tolerate nor can we
what uh no there's another word there is
no way that we can even accept that
the quran is on the same level as
one's intellect or anything else that is what
created it is divine it is perfect right
that leaves you my brothers and my sisters
with no choice except to accept that there
is a greater entity and that is allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala that we should take
rules and regulations from otherwise you will my
brothers and my sisters have constant problems in
your dealings whether it may be with your
wife your family and anyone else whoever it
might be right the quran is divine it
is perfect it started from allah and it
will eventually go back to allah and then
he says my brothers i say what allahu
subhanahu wa ta'ala said in the quran
yeah i believe in everything that allah says
right with regards to his names and his
attributes the previous line of poetry is more
specific to the quran being the speech of
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala here my brothers
and my sisters the shaykh is referring to
the names and attributes right and when it
comes to what the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam
the guided prophet right who guides us now
to that which is to that which is
uh correct and i don't start interpreting away
right or explaining away what allah and his
messengers in the quran my brothers and my
sisters we are going to find many names
and attributes of allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
these are important principles to take into consideration
when it comes to allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala or any of his names and attributes
we do not do something called what which
means we don't similarize him to the creation
right if allah subhanahu wa ta'ala allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala has two outstretched generous
hands right we do not similarize him to
any of his creation right we don't say
that his attributes are like the attributes of
so-and-so or whatever else it might
be are you guys with me we do
not do also my brothers and my sisters
something called which is to negate what allah
azza wa jalla said about himself nor do
we do something my brothers and my sister
called what does that mean putting an exactness
on what allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told
us with regards to matters of the unseen
are we clear so far my brothers and
my sisters yeah how can we do that
to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's attributes when
we can't even get the exactness when it
comes to his creation right we are told
about the angels right in the quran pay
attention my brothers my sisters let me ask
you guys this question do angels have hearts
huh do angels have hearts what's the evidence
now you can't just say and make a
claim and then you have to give us
the real brother anyone else he said it's
not mentioned so we don't say it is
or it isn't until we find an evidence
right do the angels have hearts allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala will put terror in
their hearts and then he will say what
did allah say can anyone here give me
the exactness of the the hearts of the
angels huh how big it is right how
large how small whether there are veins did
you tell me this no no no you
can't and you're not allowed to because you
don't have the information don't speak about the
matters of the unseen unless you have been
given divine right divine revelation through the quran
or the explanation of the messenger otherwise you
cannot comment right the quran was sent down
my brothers and sisters in order for us
to understand however he has to be in
light with what allah and his messengers told
us this is the angel my brothers and
sisters and you can't give me the exactness
so now when it comes to the attributes
and the names of allah subhan can you
give me an exactness of it do we
start now comparing allah to his creation how
would you like it if allah azza wa
jal sorry how would you like it my
brothers and my sisters if i compared you
to an animal right allah has created each
one in his own way that suits him
when allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us
that he has a face is it right
now to compare the face of allah azza
to any of his creation do we begin
to attribute physicalities to allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala absolutely not whatever allah azza wa jal
has told us we stick to that wherever
they stopped at we stick to it we
don't go a step further all of these
verses were coming down in the time of
the companions my brothers and my sisters right
they could have asked these questions but they
didn't they took it as face value my
brothers and my sisters that's how they understood
it for you now to go into ins
and outs that you don't have any information
of does that make sense this is why
he then goes on to say when
it comes to all of the attributes of
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala i go with
it right as it was mentioned to us
in truth the same way the great earlier
righteous of the past transmitted it that's what
we stick to right my brothers and my
sisters and i'm going to quickly read this
inshallah he says he reported in with an
authentic chain of narration that by the way
who's al-awza'i?
does anyone know?
right from amongst the atba'u tabi'een
my brothers and my sisters there was from
amongst the atba'u tabi'een i'm not
talking about the four great imams when it
comes to fiqh amongst the atba'u tabi
'een there was what they referred to as
the great four or the fantastic four does
anyone know who the four were?
you could say perhaps they covered four corners
of the world one of them was what
imam al-awza'i who was the imam
of sham who else?
he was from the tabi'een we're talking
from we're talking about the atba'u tabi
'een who said that?
he was the imam of which country?
egypt, ahsan, misr who else?
he was the imam of which country?
right and then you have the fourth who
was the fourth?
who was the imam of al-iraq?
so anyways here ibn taymiyya is saying that
al-awza'i mentioned kunna wa tabi'una
mutawafirun right we lived at a time when
there was many of the tabi'ees he's
from the atba'u tabi'een there was
many of the tabi'ees right in
the presence of many of the tabi'ees
he said right we would say that allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is above his throne
and we believe right in that which has
been reported in the sunnah with regards to
the sifat the attributes of allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala right and as our brother mentioned
right that imam al-awza'i rahmatullahi alayhi
was one of the four great imams and
we mentioned the other three all of them
imam al-iraq imam al-sham right
right and
the reason why imam al-awza'i rahmatullahi
alayhi mentioned all of this my brothers and
my sisters because this was a time right
when jahabi mustafwan who was one of the
misguided individuals who proceeded or came before them
began to say all sorts of things about
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so in order
to save god and protect the aqeed of
the muslim right he began to mention to
them how we should understand a lot of
these verses that speak about the attributes of
allah subhanahu wa ta'ala this individual came
along and he said allah azawajal is not
above his throne and allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala doesn't have any attributes and so on
and so forth as mentioned over here so
he came my brother's message in order to
protect the aqeed of the muslims so that
it can become widespread and this was also
being second and reiterated by the other three
great imams from amongst the he promises with
me even my brothers and my sisters when
we look at some of the statements of
they have similar statements that was mentioned by
al-awza'i and so on and so
forth like imam abu hanifa rahmatullahi alaihi he
says my beloved brothers and sisters you do
not describe allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with
the right you do not compare allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala with his creation right you
don't describe in a way the creation right
and likewise when it comes to the the
anger of allah and the way allah azawajal
become satisfied these are two attributes of allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and we don't go
into kaif which basically means going into the
exactness of how these attributes of allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is right also in al
-fiqh al-akbar imam abu hanifa rahmatullahi alaihi
says allah azawajali has a hand allah azawajal
has a face allah azawajal has a nafs
right he has a soul same way allah
azawajal told us in the quran right or
how allah azawajal told us in the quran
and whatever allah azawajali mentioned with regards to
the attributes of allah azawajal right we do
not go into the exactness of it then
you have imam malik rahmatullahi alaih who said
something similar with regards to right allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala allah azawajal is above the
heavens and his knowledge is everywhere we
only say about allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
right and we only attribute to him that
which allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has said
about himself and we don't go a step
further right and we don't start going into
intricacies that you don't have any information about
and then imam al-shafi'i right right
have i lost you guys my brothers and
my sisters has it become too technical what
is now the summary and the conclusion with
regards to what all of these great imams
mentioned what do we take away from this
my brothers and my sisters now we stick
to what allah azawajal and his messengers sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam have mentioned with regards to
allah azawajal because this is a very sensitive
issue we can't say about allah azawajal that
which he hasn't said about himself are you
promises with me and we stick to that
and we don't go into the exactness of
these different sifat that you don't have any
information about you couldn't do that about the
hearts of the angels likewise when it comes
to the fruits of can anyone tell me
exactly how some of the fruits are going
to be huh can anyone tell me you
know the most fruits how exactly it's going
to look are you able to do that
and these are from the creations of allah
azawajal right matters of the unseen and then
he says and i return the obligatory responsibility
with regards to how we look at these
names and these attributes of allah azawajal towards
those who have transmitted these transmitted these narrations
right likewise he says it is safeguarded against
any imaginations right as anything that comes to
mind in terms of interpretations allah is beyond
that and free from it whatever you think
about allah azawajal my brothers and my sister
you try to get an exact image about
how right attributes of allah azawajal is you
will not be able right to get it
right allah is beyond all of these imaginations
and then he says disgrace to the one
my brothers and my sisters he says the
one who throws the quran behind him and
then when he wants to use as proof
he quotes an individual called al akhtar who
was a nasrani right he was a christian
poet right so you had when it came
to allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala's attributes him being
quoted with regards to allah azawajal ascending over
his throne and like we mentioned before my
brothers and my sisters allah azawajal has told
us allah has ascended above his throne right
and we stick to what allah azawajal has
told us without going into the ins and
outs that we don't have any information about
my brothers and my sisters and i think
it's worth mentioning he says he says
anyone who describes allah with attributes similar to
those of his creatures is definitely in error
right come and call the same way somebody
says it's like one saying about allah when
he comes down now right in the last
third as we will come into inshallah in
a short while this is like someone who
claims that god descends allah azawajal descends so
he travels from one place to another like
a human descending from the top to the
bottom of the house like someone who says
that the throne will leave him and his
descent will be a departure from one place
and a work for another or a work
for another so this is false and the
lord must remove it from him as it
came before right and he goes into all
of these different intricacies about allah subhanahu wa'ta
'ala and the way allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
descends my brothers and my sisters we do
not go into any of that whatsoever and
here he mentions or like someone who says
that the throne is vacated when allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala comes down in the last third
of the night so his descent is vacating
of one place and occupying another all of
this is false and god or allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala must be exonerated from such descriptions
as mentioned earlier everybody with me now my
brothers and my sisters don't go into that
which you don't have information of and then
he says my brothers and my sisters the
believers are going to see allah subhanahu wa'ta
'ala right we are going to see allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala my brothers and my sisters
in two places does anyone know the two
places my brothers and my sisters huh we
will see him in jannah and where else
naam when we are standing in front of
allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala we will be seeing
allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala where allah subhanahu wa'ta
'ala will uncover the veil right and also
allah azza wa jal tells us as for
the kuffar my brothers and my sisters right
they will be deprived of being able to
see allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala right this is
a form of a punishment being prevented to
see allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala my brothers and
my sisters and as we know as allah
azza wa jal said the day when the
faces of the believers it will glow it
will shine right and they will be directly
looking at allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and then
my brothers and my sisters when we inshallah
ta'ala are admitted into a jannah may
allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala allow us to see
allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala right here this hadith
of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that
gets me excited every time i read it
to my brothers and my sisters messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam he said when the people
of jannah are admitted into a jannah right
allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala will say is there
anything else that i can give to you
all you know what they will say to
him didnt you whiten our faces Didn't
You Admit Us Into Al-Jannah And You
Protected Us From The Hellfire, Right?
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Will Remove The Veil
As I'M Going Through This, My Brothers And
My Sisters Imagine It We Are All In
Al-Jannah Inshallah Ta'Ala, Right?
فَمَا أُعْطُوا شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَىٰ
رَبِّهِمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ Messenger of Allah Alayhi Salaam
Says There Is Nothing More Greater And More
Beloved That They Are Granted The People Of
Jannah Than Seeing Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala It'S
Not The Fruits, It'S Not The Food, It'S
Not The Alcohol, Huh?
That You Will Be Getting, Right?
Of Course Not The Alcohol They Have Here
Different Type Of Alcohol, Wine, Shorobat And Whatever
Else You Can Think Of My Brothers And
My Sisters We Will See Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta
'Ala وَهِيَ زِيَادَةٌ There Is A Ziyadah This
Term Here Is Ziyadah That Allah Talked About
In Surat Yunus لِلَّذِينَ أَحْزَنُوا الْحُسْنَةُ وَزِيَادَةٌ What
Is Being Referred To Is What?
Being Able To See Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala
May Allah Azawajal Grant Us The Chance To

In This Dunya That Is Filled With Oppression

Al Qiyamah That Which Is Going To Benefit
You Is Your Righteous Deeds It Doesn'T Matter
How Big How Skinny How Much You Try
To Perfect Your Outer Appearance My Brothers And

And It Doesn'T Matter How You Look In
Your Figure Allah Dukat Ibn Mas'ud Radhi

Order To Turn Into Siwak Siwak Hmm?
And He Was Someone My Brothers And My
Sisters That Had Thin Shins Right?

So The Wind Came And It Uncovered Him
So Some Of Those Who Are Watching Ibn
Mas'ud Radhi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu They
Began To Laugh Fa Zahika Al-Qawm Right?
So The Messenger Of Allah Alayhi Salam Said
To Them Mimma Tadhhakoon What Are You Laughing

That Is Proven That What You Believe Or
What You Do With Your Actions Is A
Product Of How Your Heart Has Become Everyone
Sins My Brothers And My Sisters But When
You Reach A Point When Your Heart Has
Become So Black What Did The Messenger Of
Allah Alayhi Salam Say?

Can Only Judge From That Which Is Apparent
I'M Seeing You Do Something Wrong For You
To Turn Around To Me And Say Mind
Your Own Business No My Brother This Is

What Do You Do With The Hadith Min
Husn Al-Islam Al-Mar' This Is Sometimes
Quoted A Lot We Love This Hadith Part
Of One Being A Good Muslim Is That
He Leaves Off That Which Doesn'T Concern Him
Wallah You'Ll Hear This Being Quoted How
Many Times Someone Said To Me I See
People Backbiting In My Circle And I Tell
Them They Shouldn'T Be Doing This And They
Quote The Hadith Allahu Akbar They Memorize It
From 40 Nawiyah And They Backbiting There And
Then When You Tell Them Mind Your Own
Business No, It Is Part Of My Business
It Is Part Of My Business Because The
Messenger Of Allah Made It Part Of My
Business Abu Sa'in Khudri Narrates Messenger Of
Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Said The Haybah, The
Fear That You Have Of The People Should
Not Prevent You From Speaking The Truth Upon
Seeing It Abu Sa'in Khudri He Said
I Began To Cry In Another Narration He
Said I Wish I Never Heard It Because
Now He Has To Act Upon It And
Then He Says Wal Hawd What Is The
Hawd My Brothers And My Sisters Does Anyone

Pond On Yawm Al-Qiyamah It Will Quench

Shams The Sun Is Going To Be Brought

Mubeen Any Brothers Huh?
Allahu Astaghfirullah The Summer Becomes Extremely Hot You
Get Burnt My Brothers And My Sisters At
Times This Is Nothing Like The Heat Of
The Hereafter Hmm What'S
The Difference Between The Haud And The Kawthar
Allah Azza Wa Jalla Tells Our Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam We Have Indeed Given You The
Kawthar What'S The Difference Between The Haud The
Pond That You Will Find Huh?
On The Day Of Judgment Right Hmm And
The Kawthar That Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Told Us About Huh?
What'S The Difference Between The Two Huh?
A Kawthar My Brothers And My Sisters Is
A Right Is A River In Al-Jannah
Huh?
That Streams All The Way Till That Mokhif
On The Day Of Resurrection Your Brother Sits
With Me He Comes From The Kawthar And
Then He Arrives At The Haud And The
Evidence For That Is Hadith Abi Dhar Radiallahu
Ta'ala The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam He
Said يَشْخُبُ فِيهِ مِي زَابَان مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْ
شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَضْمَأْ It Is A Stream
That Comes Directly From Al-Jannah All The
Way To This Haud Right In Another Narration
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam He Said وَأَعْطَانِي
الْكَوْثَرِ Allah Azza Wa Jalla Gave Me The
Kawthar فَهُوَ نَهْرٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَثِيلُ فِي حَوْظِي
Right It Streams Into My Haud The Messenger
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Gave Us Some Descriptions Here
We Are About We Are Able To Mention
Because We Have Been Given This Information About
The Haud لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاظًا مِنَ الْثَلْجِ Right
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam He Said It
Is More Whiter Than What?
Than Snow In Another Narration We Are Told
أَبْرَضُ مِنَ الْثَلْجِ Right It Is More Colder
Than The Thalj Itself The Snow Or The
Ice رِيحُهُ أَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْمِسْكِ The Smell My
Brothers And My Sisters It Is More Scentful
Than What?
Than Musk طَعْمُهُ أَحْلَ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ Its Taste
It Is More Sweeter Than Honey Right كِيذَانُهُ
أَبَارِيقُهُ كَعَدَلِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ The Cups That Come
With It My Brothers And My Sisters Are
More Than The Stars Of The Heavens وَهَكَذَا
And Then He Says My Brothers And My
Sisters وَكَذَا الصِّرَاطُ يَمُدُّ فَوْقَ جَهَنَّمٍ فَمُوَحِّدُ النَّاجُ
أو فَمُوَحِّدُ النَّاجِ وَآخَرُ مُهْمَلُ He Says I
Also Believe In The Bridge That Has Been
Placed Over The Hellfire The One With Tawheed
Will Be Saved And The Other Will Fall
In It There Is A Bridge My Brothers
And My Sisters That Has Been Placed Above
The Hellfire In A Narration The Messenger Of
Allah S.A.W. Said In Fact It
Was Abu Sa'id Al-Khudi R.A.
That Said It However This Is Not Something
That He Can Say From His Own Self
So He Has The Hukm Of Something Being
Marfo' For Those Of You Who Understand The
Hadith Will Understand What I Am Saying Sometimes
A Companion May Say Something But This Is
A Statement Of The Companion But He Ends
Up Getting The Same Ruling As Something The
Messenger Of Allah S.A.W. Said Because
It Is From The Matter Of The Unseen
Right وَلَهُ حُكْمُ الْرَفْ If You Don'T Understand
I Don'T Worry Too Much About It Abu
Sa'id Al-Khudi R.A. Said بَلَغَنِ
أَنَّ الْجِسْرَ أَدَقُّ مِنَ الشَّعْرَةِ You Know This
Bridge That Has Been Placed Over The Hellfire
It Is More Thinner Than Hair And You
Are Imagining Yourself Now My Brothers Imagine You
Have A Huge Guy Huh How Is He
Going To Be Able To Walk On A
Bridge That Is As Thin As Hair Right
Remember My Brothers And My Sisters The Matter
Of The Hereafter Is Something That Is Beyond
Imagination أَلَيْسَ كَذَٰلِكُ The Messenger Of Allah S
.A.W. He Told Us My Brothers And
My Sisters How The People Will Be Crossing
This Bridge Right Some Of The Believers Will
Cross The Bridge As Quickly As The Wink
Of An Eye It Doesn'T Matter How Many
Kilos He Was أَبَدًا It Doesn'T Matter How
Huge This Individual Was My Brothers And My
Sisters The Wink Of An Eye Will Be
Able To Cross That Bridge Right Some Others
As Quick As The Lightning Which One Is
Quicker Blink Of An Eye Or The Lightning
Huh The Blink Of An Eye Or The
Lightning Blink Of An Eye This Was The
First Thing I Was Mentioned Okay Also My
Brothers And My Sisters As Strong As The
Wind This Is Now What The Other Description
I Was Given Or Fast Horses Or She
-camels The Way The Horse Is So Quick
When It Runs That Was Mentioned And Some
My Brothers And My Sisters Will Be Safe
Without Any Harm They Will Just About Be
Able To Go Over That Bridge After Receiving
Some Scratches And So On And So Forth
And Some My Brothers And My Sisters They
Will Fall Down Into The * Fire Right
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Allow Us To
Cross The Bridge Right As Quick As The
Blink Of An Eye Or Should We Say
Lightning Huh These Are Just Some My Brothers
And My Sisters We Are Running Through It
As Much As We Can Then He Goes
On To Say وَالنَّارُ يَصْلَاهَا الشَّقِيُّ بِحِكْمَةٍ وَكَذَى
التَّقِيُّ إِلَى الْجِنَانِ سَيَدْخُلُوا He Says Those That
Will Be Admitted Into The * Fire My
Brothers And My Sisters Right Or The Wrongdoers
The Wretched Right And This Is By The
Hikmah Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala His Divine
Wisdom As For A Taqi The Pious Individual
He Will Be Admitted Into The Jannah Right
My Brothers And My Sisters This Issue Of
Hikmah I Would Love To Elaborate On It
The Wisdom Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Gives People An Equal Opportunity
To Be Guided However It Is Something Within
Them Right, It Is Something Within Them Because
Allah Azzawajal Has Given You The Ability To
Act You Are Not A Feather In The
Middle Of The Wind Or Like A Dead
Person That Is Being Washed Who Doesn'T Have
A Choice You Go Inside Of The News
Agents Or The Corner Shop And You Choose
Which Crisp Packet You Want To Steal Whether
It Is Prawn Cocktail Or Salt And Vinegar
No One Forces You To Do Anything Right
Your Brothers And Sisters With Me We Cannot
Be Using The Qadar Of Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta
'Ala To Say It'S The Decree Of Allah
Azzawajal As To Why I Am Misguided Or
As To Why I Commit Haram There Is
Even A Narration That Ibn Taymiyyah Rahmatullah A
.S. Mentions That A Man Came To Umar
Al-Khattab R.A. And He Said Right
After He Was Caught Stealing Oh This Was
The Qadar Of Allah Azzawajal So He Said
The Qadar Of Allah Azzawajal The Qadar Of
Allah The Decree Of Allah Is For Me
Now To Apply The Penal Code On You
And What Is The Penal Code You Guys
Know Huh Don'T Blame The Qadar Of Allah
Azzawajal For Committing Sins Right In Fact This
Is What The Mushrikun They Would Say In
The Past They Say If Allah Willed We
Would Not Have Committed Shirk People Of Shirk
In The Past They Would Say If It
Wasn'T For You Know For The Will Of
Allah I Would Not Commit The Shirk Do
You Not Choose To Drive My Brothers And
My Sisters You Go To The Edge To
The Cliff Does Anyone Huh Push You Over
Go And Stand There And Say Wallahi It'S
The Decree Of Allah Azzawajal Would You Say
That Guys How Many Lines Of Poetry Remaining
Khalas Three And The Last One Isn'T Necessarily
Even Something That Requires A Thorough Elaboration And
Explanation So There'S Only What Two Left Insha
'Allah Ta'Ala Wa Likulli Hayyin Aqilin Fi
Qabrihi Amalun Yuqarinu Hunaka Yus'alu Every Hay
Living Individual Who Is Sane In The Qabar
My Brothers And My Sisters In The Grave

For You Brothers And Sisters I Know Multi
Millionaires That Passed Away And I Have To
Distribute The Inheritance I Have To Calculate It
And Their Children My Brothers And My Sisters
By Allah You Can See Fire In Their
Eyes When Looking At Their Siblings Their Blood
Brothers And Sisters Right Father Day And Night
He Was Accumulating All Of That Wealth Right
Just So They Could Be Financially Stable After
They Passed Away May Allah Reward Him For
That But There Is An Investment That Is
Greater Than That And That Is To Invest
In Their Deen To Teach Them You May
Leave Them Behind With Nothing But He Appreciates
Everything That The Father Done In Terms Of
His Religion Which At The End Of The
Day Is Going To Matter In This Grave

Great Brothers And Is
Brothers And Is He was born in the
year 150 And then you have Imam Ahmad
Ibn Hanbal Rahmatullahi Alayhi Rahmatan Wasi'ah Makes
up these four great Imams of Fiqh Right
I will conclude by saying the following Ibn
Taymi Rahmatullahi Alayhi When he was asked to
write an Aqeedah When he was asked to
write an Aqeedah He wrote for them a
Aqeedah Gave them the answers that they were
looking for And then he said the following
This Aqeedah that I have now written down
for you Is what has been narrated Or
taken directly from the Messengers Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam
and his companions Al-Firqatun Najiatu Fa'innahu
Qathabata Ala Ghayri Wahidi Minas Sahabati Annahu Qaal
And then he says Whoever follows this Then
it is hoped that Insha'Allah Ta'ala
Is part of the safe sect Right And
then he mentions Al-Imanu Yazidu Wa Yanqas
Wa Kullu Ma Zakartu Fi Dhalika Fa'innahu
Ma'athoor Whatever we mentioned It has been
taken directly From the Messengers Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam
And the companions Up until when he says
Wa Laysa Kullu Man Khaalafa Fi Shai'in
Min Hada Al-I'tiqad Yajibu An Yakuna Halika
Fa'inna Al-Munazia Qad Yakuna Mujtahidan Mukhti
'a He says Not everyone that opposes That
which I have documented in this book Right
Should be dealt with in a way That
he is someone who has become destroyed Remember
Ali When I said my brothers and my
sisters That we don't want to walk away
from today's class Right In an arrogant way
Behaving in a manner That we are going
to Al-Jannah And everyone else is going
to Hellfire There is still a lot to
do Before we meet Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
'ala Cut this out my brothers and my
sisters Sometimes studying these books One begins to
feel this way In this arrogant manner As
if he has some sort of green card
now To enter into Al-Jannah We came
here today To learn about our belief To
get closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Here Ibn Taymi Rahmatullah Ali is saying If
someone has opposed That which we have mentioned
today You cannot deal with this individual Automatically
as if Khalas, he has now become destroyed
Because he says Someone may have opposed Some
of the things that we mentioned And he
Done Ijtihad And he's mistaken in it And
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Will forgive his
mistake Wa qad la yakoonu balaghahu fi thalik
minal ilm And maybe the knowledge didn't reach
him And now you're treating him Like some
individual that is going to Hellfire And you
are treating him Like some individual Now my
brothers and my sisters That is destructed So
take it easy He's teaching us my brothers
and my sisters To be patient Right Wa
qad yakoonu lahu minal hasanati Ma yamhullahu bihi
sayyi'ati And it could be my brothers
and my sisters He says that he has
so many good deeds Right The bad That
he may have fallen into Will drown in
all of these good deeds That he has
Does that make sense My brothers and my
sisters He mentioned some reasoning So you don't
start behaving In a way That you start
giving out tickets to others As we mentioned
before And I will conclude with this We
as Muslims When we worship Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala We worship Allah as between what?
What were the two wings?
As Sa'di rahmatullahi alayhi mentions In his Sayyidunallah
wa daar al akhira The awliya The beloved
servants of Allah azza wa jal They structure
their path to Allah azza wa jal Between
these two characteristics Hope and fear We hope
that Allah azza wa jal Accept it from
us We hope to acquire the Jannah of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala While at the
same time We are on our toes Because
we are fearful That none of our actions
are going to get accepted Does that make
sense My brothers and my sisters May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala Allow us to act
upon that which We studied today I think
we can walk away Insha'Allah ta'ala
With growing our fear of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala And the hope Of acquiring his
Jannah Right?
When we spoke about Al-Mizan When we
spoke about seeing Allah azza wa jal We
want this And we have to do righteous
deeds In order to be able to get
there Right?
Jazakumullahu khair My brothers and my sisters And
an extra Jazakumullahu khairan For sacrificing the Euros
It's not easy And I know sometimes How
much you really badly want it But you
sat here In order to learn your religion
Subhanahu wa ta'ala Alhamdulillah I bear witness
that there is no god but Allah I
seek forgiveness for my sins And I repent
to You Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
