Whoever wants to find the text and you
can even maybe either find it on my
Facebook or on my Twitter. But all those
who signed up online,
the text in English and Arabic has been,
sent to them insha Allahu Ta'ala.
Binnillah Ta'ala. Today brothers and sisters, we are
going to be going through the Usul Al
Sittah from now all the way to Maghrib.
And inshallah ta'ala, we'll be starting from now
all the way till
Maghrib, Innillah ta'ala.
The first thing I want to start with
brothers and sisters is a statement of Shaykh
ul Usami ibn Taymih Rahimahullah ta'ala
to show us all the importance of rectifying
our atikad.
Because this book that we're going to be
studying called Usul U Sita
has matters, aspects pertaining the Iittikad,
the belief of a person.
And brothers and sisters, if we don't rectify
our Iittikad,
our belief,
then it could lead us to destruction, and
it could give us a lot of problems
in our
day to day lives, in our religion.
Barely do you find
anybody who has some corruption in his I
tikat,
except that he will make this apparent
on his limbs. You will find this in
his actions.
A lot of these people have gone out
and they started now worshiping besides Allah ajawajal,
who may have started doing dua. They go
to the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam's grave,
and they believe that the prophet salallahu alaihi
wa sama can benefit them, can give them
children, can give them wealth, can give them
provision, and so on and so forth. They
never done this with their limbs, with their
jawarih,
except after believing
that this is something that is correct.
The guy who goes
to the Middle East and he blows himself
up,
before he went and done the action that
the action that he done with his limbs,
he believed that this was something that was
authentic.
It started with his heart.
The doubts came to him. He believed it,
then he acted upon it, and then he
went astray.
So if you look, it all strays off
from
the And the takes place in the heart.
Right? Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, what do
we say?
For indeed,
there is
a piece of flesh inside the body.
If that becomes rectified,
everything else becomes rectified.
If that becomes corrupt,
everything else becomes corrupt as all. Then the
prophet said,
it is the it is the heart.
So everything stems up from the heart. Hence,
why brothers and sisters, it's very very important
that we try to
rectify, that we try to
solve the problems that the heart might come
with
by learning the religion of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and giving a lot of importance to
Al Aqeedah.
And also that we show brothers and sisters
the importance of Al Aqeedah.
All these that we've done in the month
of Ramadan, and that we're going to do,
and we plan to do later on in
our lives.
The dua, and all the other.
We can be people who are People who
have
a lot of
salawat at night, who stand up late in
the night.
And there are people also who fast all
the time. Imagine fasting,
which is the best type of that a
person would do.
And also maybe has the best type of
qiyam, he has the qiyam of Dawud alaihis
salatu wa salam as well,
Standing up majority of the night,
and then all of that goes down the
drain.
Why? Because of 1,
one belief that you have.
Abdullah ibn Umar radhiallahu ta'ala anhu, again he
mentioned a very powerful statement. He said,
If any of you had a mountain of
gold like Uhud,
you had that in gold. It takes 4,
5 hours brothers and sisters to climb and
get to the top of the mountain.
You had that in gold,
then he gave them in charity.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will not accept that
from him until he believes in the qadr,
until he believes in the qadr. We know
the qadr,
the issue of al qadr is when
right? It's 1 out of 6.
That one thing, if you don't believe in
it,
all your actions,
the charity that you give, the prayer that
you pray, the fasting that a person does,
all of those going down the dream because
of the
He believes now, okay, that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala hasn't written everything down,
or he just believes that the Quran is
nahis, it's one belief.
To believe that the Quran is nahis, but
you believe in everything else and you do
the Ibadat in the most perfect way.
Nothing is being accepted from you. And the
proofs and evidences as to why the atiqad
giving importance to a tawhid and rectifying that
is very important.
We will be taking on later on insha
Allahu ta'ala in this book.
It really really astonishes me.
There is many people who are coming out
today telling us put the atikat to the
side. Why? Because the atikat, the belief system
is something controversial.
It's causing controversy.
Let us just agree to disagree. Let's concentrate
more on that which we agree upon, which
is like fiqh issues. But put the atikat
to their side.
The person is between Al Islam and Kufr.
If he doesn't have the correct atikat, how
how we going to leave it?
No.
No.
In the name of Allah, Ar Rahman, Ar
Raheem, the most merciful, the especially merciful,
from the most amazing of affairs and the
greatest of signs that indicate the power of
the medic
and overcomer
are 6 foundations that Allah the most high
has explained in the most clear manner for
the common people to know and understand
above and beyond what the suspicious ones may
think.
Then after this, many of the shrewd people
of the world and the intelligent ones amongst
Bani Adam, the offsprings of Adam alaihis salaam
expecting a very accepting a very few ad
with respect to them.
Namal Ibrahim, O Allahu Ta'ala, as we mentioned
yesterday, also when we took the Kitab al
Adab al Ashra.
I'm going to quickly go through this. He
started off with the Bismal Ikhida and Bi
Kitab al Lai Aziz.
He started off by mentioning Bismillayrahmanirrahim
in imitation
to the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And also in imitation to what the prophets
and also the messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam
used to start their rasa'il,
their letters
and also the contracts that they used to
write. They used to start off with the
al Bismillah.
We know Nabiullah Sulaiman
alaihis salat wasalam when he wrote a letter
to the queen of Saba at a time.
What did he say? What did Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala quote
them saying,
The queen, she said, oh,
my people,
for indeed I have now received a very
noble book.
Indeed it is from Sulaiman,
And it says in
there,
And likewise, the Prophet
when he used to start reading the Quran,
he would start off by mentioning the
One time the prophet was
receiving with the companions, So Anas ibn Malik
radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu he said that the prophet's
head just dropped.
The prophet's head just dropped and then he
put it back up again while he was
smiling. So
we said to him,
what is making you laugh?
The Prophet said,
surah came down upon me. And the surah
the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam started reading.
And this hadith is narrated by my Muslim.
And likewise, the story of Abu Sufyan,
when he was sent to Hercules,
Arabic language.
The prophet
sent
a letter with him. He opened up the
letter and he said,
This letter is from the Muhammad, Rasulillah, the
Messenger of Allah to the great King of
Rome.
Peace to the one who follows the guidance.
To proceed. For any adruk be dayaayatul Islam.
For indeed I am calling you to the
call of al Islam, aslim test lam. Embrace
al Islam,
and what's going to happen? You're going to
find salvation, you're going to be safe. You'll
be rewarded with 2 reward. What are these
2 rewards? The reward of believing in the
Messenger before Muhammad
and also the reward of Al Islam.
Later,
If you turn away, then you get the
itham, the
sin of the 2 Majusis.
And then he responded by saying by he
read
the, the statement of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
Oh, people of the book come to a
united statement, where we don't worship except Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And likewise, you find that when the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was stopped from entering into
Al Makkah, Surah Al Hudaybiyyah,
The Prophet
said to Ali write
the conditions between us.
Because the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, we
know he couldn't write, right? So he wrote,
He started off with the best manna. This
is now a contract.
Likewise, used to have and
It's highly recommendable that a person start with
even in his contract in whatever he writes.
So in this contract, Surah Al Hudaybiyah started
with the basmalah, and then he wrote on
there, this is the decision
or the judgment that the messenger
made.
And this was the same path that the
Khalafa Ar Rashideen.
Abu Bakr and those who came after him
embarked upon.
He wrote him this letter when he sent
him to Bahrain. You don't know where Bahrain
is?
Bahrain is in the Kharij, in the gulf
areas. And the first thing that he wrote
in
This is
the obligation that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has made upon the messenger salallahu pertaining the
sadaqa. How much you have to pay when
you have a certain amount of Baqarah, when
you have a certain amount of sheep and
so on and so forth. And this is
what the messenger commanded the Muslims.
And also another messa Allah before we move
into the book is
is the best manila. A verse from the
Fatiha and from every single surah. We mentioned
yesterday also, * Ulamayikh Talafu Alarbaati Akwal. The
scholars
have
taken 4 different views, they've different upon 4
opinions in regards to this issue. As to
whether the best manna
is a verse from Fatiha or a verse
from the Quran. The first view they say,
It is not a verse from the Quran
and it's not a verse from Al Fatiha.
And we mentioned the hadith, Anas Samalikar radiAllahu
ta'ala Anu. And An Nabi Sallallahu Wa Baqarah
Umar Qani Yafatiuhunasalata,
bilhamdulillahi rabbilalamin.
That Abu Bakr,
also the Messenger Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and
also Umar, they used to open their prayer
with what? With Alhamdulillahi rabbilalhameen without mentioning the
basmalah.
Also what they use as proof is,
what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that
Allah mentioned,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala what he said was
that he
categorized the fatiha into 2 parts.
Half of it is for himself and half
of it is for the servant.
Waliabdi masal. Then the first thing that Allah
Azzawajal
spoke about in this hadith was
Alhamdulillahirabbalalmi.
Never mentioned the best manna. So the scholars
they took from this because the best manna
wasn't mentioned. Fil Hadith
hadith ildulalalalaysibiyaya.
Because the best malah wasn't mentioned. It shows
that it is not part of the Fatiha.
Also the third proof, when the Jibreel alaihis
salatu wasalam came to the Messenger salallahu alaihi
wasalam,
and he told him ikra.
And he squeezed the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam.
And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says, Ma'ana
biqari. I don't know how to read. And
this happened 3 times, and each time he
was squeezed. And the 3rd time, Jibril 'Ahisatt
wa Salam said to the Messenger, ikra bismi
rabbikal levy khalak.
He never mentioned bismillahi rahmanirrahim.
And also the final hadith the use as
proof is
There's a chapter in the Quran which consists
of 30
verses.
It interceded for a person and it's also
forgave him. It was a cause of him
being forgiven.
What is his surah? Surah Tabarak.
The Quran, the scholars of the Quran, they
unanimously
agreed that this surah is only 30 verses.
And wasn't part of it. The second position
is al Bismillah to ayah to mil Fatiha.
The Bismillah is a verse
from the Fatiha.
And for every other Surah except
Surah Al Barah.
This is the position of ibn Umar ibn
Zubayr.
They
are 2 great companions. Tawus
from the Tabi'ayn Wa'ata and so on and
so forth. Imam An Nur Rahimama Wa Ta'alehi
said,
This is the position of many of the
Salif that we weren't able to put a
number on.
And they also used as proof the hadith
of Anasina Malik. When Surat Al Khothar came
down and the prophet started reading, what did
he read? Read Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
3rd position is,
3rd position, they say it's only
a ayah from the fatiha.
It is only a ayah from the fatiha.
That's it. But it's not a verse from
any other surah.
And this is the position of
And the 4th position, it kind of, you
know, does brings
together the first opinion that we mentioned
and some other opinions that the best manna
ayatun beinakulli suratayni ghair al fali wal bara.
The best manna, it is a verse between
between every sur attained, between every 2 Suras.
It is a verse in between them both.
Except unfal and baraa. It
is not part of the chapters.
But rather it is a Quran
that is
independent from the rest of the chapters.
And what does it do? It separates between
the
different chapters.
And this is the position of the ahnaf.
Imam Abu Hanif and
his companions, this was their position. And this
is the strongest position. When also the Bazzi
Abdul Laban Mubarak, and also this is what
Ibn Taymiyyahimu'lal
and Ibn Uthaymin,
they lend towards.
And they use this proof the hadith of
Ibn Abbas radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he did
not know how to separate
between the different chapters in the Quran until
the Basmala came down. So let's just say
Baqarah came down. Al Imran came down in
his different times, in his different parts.
But the Prophet never knew never knew
how to
differentiate and how to separate them all. Until
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem came down upon the prophet
Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam.
We also mentioned brothers and sisters, anybody who
negates a har from the Quran.
One har from the Quran.
If I take away the Kaaf
from Surat Kaaf,
if I say no Kaaf, let me just
negate that. Take that out of the Quran.
But I believe in every other part of
the Quran. What does that make me?
An al Kafirun.
I have disbelieved.
Regardless if you believe in every other aspect.
I mentioned the statement of Ali Radhiallahu ta'ala
Anhu. What did he say?
Disbelieved in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah also
said,
none
actually negate our verse except that he's a
kafir.
So
The scholars have unanimously agreed that anybody who
affirms it or anybody who negates it, none
of them are kuffar in this sense, in
the issue of Al Bismillah. Why? Because there
was so much Khalaf.
What about the Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Surah Al
Namal?
If anybody negates that, is he a Muslim
or is he a Kafir?
The Bismillah,Rahman,
Rahim, Surat Anamal. We just mentioned now because
there were so many different views
as to whether the Bismillah in the Quran
is a ayah or not an ayah.
There's a unanimous agreement. All the scholars agreed
after that. Whoever agrees
that it's an ayah, and whoever disagrees of
that not being ayah, no problem.
There's no problem with it.
You know with me brothers and sisters, but
anybody now that takes out
the,
Basmala from Surah to Namal. When Sulaiman wrote
the letter to the queen of Saba.
If I was to take that out and
say, oh no, I'm not sure whether that's
or even has doubt about it. Can we
say this guy's a Muslim? No. He's not
a Muslim. This, without a shadow of a
doubt,
declared that this is a verse from the
Quran that has no doubt upon it.
It is highly recommended brothers and sisters with
every good thing that you try to do
that you start off with the best manna.
Trying to seek the blessings from Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Because we are trying to what? Seek assistance
from Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. And also we're trying to seek
his blessings. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
When Nuh alaihisatt wasalam told his
companions to get on the ship in order
to be saved. He told them,
you know, enter upon it by the name
of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Read by the name
of your Lord.
My brothers and sisters, why it's important,
you know, we do the isti'*
billahi azzawajal
in everything that we do. And I think
it's very very important that we realize this.
No matter how intelligent you are,
how intellectual Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has made
you,
How
great your academic background is.
Or how
strong your memorization is. Brothers and sisters,
we are always in need of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala for
more assistance to assist us in whatever we
do.
Because subhanAllah, you know the verse in the
Quran.
Ibn Khaym he wrote a whole book
whole book
just speaking about Iyaka and Abu Wa Yaq
and Asta'in. One of the things that he
mentions is
Had Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wowed, he would
have not given us the success
just like he done with a lot of
people.
A lot of people you find they are
partying like animals in the club.
Friday, Saturday, while we was inside the Mas'ajid
brothers and sisters, there were some people in
humanity
who are party and committing Fawahish.
If we don't consistently,
you know, go back to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala for assistance,
That could be all of us, the majority
of the people. So
time and time again we are in need,
And we shouldn't rely
on our intelligence.
The
cleverness that we have. The intelligence
rather always in everything that we do. The
memorization.
Something that Sheikh Sala al Ussayim always time
and time again goes on about.
Be eager
in that which benefits you and ask Allah
azza wa Jal for assistance. Make dua to
Allah azza wa Jal.
You find that the best manah brothers and
sisters could be used for any type of
good that you want to do in order
for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to assist you.
This ba, Bismillah.
If you take the ba out, what you
get is ism. Ism means
name.
So ba here, it plays a big role
in the Arabic language.
Just that ba, that ba being connected,
it
means alistha'anah
seeking assistance. You ani by the name of
Allah azza wa jal I seek assistance.
And what you're also doing is you're showing
your need of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
helping you and that you're in need of
him.
He mentioned his Imaj Mu'an Fatawa. You find
that the best manah is used for everything
that you want
to embark upon. And also you find that
the best manna
is used in specific scenarios that the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam specified.
The chapter of saying
in everything that you do,
in all your situations,
especially
at the time of entering upon your wife.
And he uses
If every time that the husband,
he enters upon his wife, he says, Bismillahi.
Oh Allah,
save us from the shaitan. Keep the shaitan
away from us.
And also
keep the shaitan away from
what you are, you know, giving us as
provision. What you're providing for us our kids,
our offspring.
If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decrees that there's
going to be a child
that comes out of that activity, then the
shaytan will not be able to harm it.
These are two names of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala that show the complete and perfect
mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
You know we have some names of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and attributes that are only
found in Allah azza wa Jal.
Some names that are only found in Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala. So Imran Al Qayyim, he
takes the position that Ar Rahman
is
a characteristic
that only specific for him. Of course, we
know that the
the the creation, they are also merciful as
well. Right? But this type of Rahmah is
like no other Rahmah.
And it's a complete,
enormous Rahmah.
I'll give you an example to make you
understand this
much easier.
Does anybody know what Ghadib means?
Ghadib means angry. If I say Mohammed Ghadibun,
it means that Mohammed is angry.
If I say,
does anybody know what I means?
This person is full with anger.
It's.
It is like an exaggeration also.
So there's a difference between saying Fulan is
angry and Fulan is filled with anger. Right?
So by us now saying Arrahmanu
is say was lillahi aza wajal. He is
full with rahma.
Is samayna is now connected to the creation.
You
gets that mercy on it. It showered upon
the creation. This is why
as Abu Ali al Farisi,
he says,
this is specific for Allah
You find Arrahim.
It is something that is connected to the
creation. You always find in the Quran.
Allah was merciful towards the
who? To believers.
Allah Azza was merciful to the believers. You
won't find wakana
bil mumineenar rahma. Never.
You'll never find ar Rahman.
And also,
So do you see the difference now? Ar
Rahmanu is specific to who? Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Raheem, he has
a relation to the creation. And some of
them they mentioned that Ar Rahman is
a Sifa which You Ani'Allahu is all compassionate
aware He is
merciful to all of the creation. That's another
view. But Rahim is specific for the
believers.
Muhammad.
Read in English InshaAllah. Read it again? No.
In English? No.
In the name of Allah, Arrahman Ar Raheem.
From the most amazing of affairs and the
greatest of signs that indicate the power of
the Malik and the galaab
are 6 foundations that Allah the most high
has explained in the most clear manner for
the common people to know and understand
above and beyond what the suspicious one what
the suspicious ones may think. Then after this,
many of the shrewd people of the world
and the intelligent ones amongst Benny Adam accepting
a very few ad with respect to them.
The Sheikh Rahimahullah
Ta'alahe says,
from the most astonishing of affairs,
and
And the greatest of signs
that show
the
ability,
the capability of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. I'm
going to inshallah ta'ala explain in detail what
this means.
In summarization, it means the one who overcomes,
who excessively overcomes.
There is 6 fundamentals
that Allah
made very clear and manifest
to even the common people.
You know, brothers and sisters, what is
really astonishing is,
and this is why the Sheikh, he clearly
mentioned from the most astonishing of affairs,
Some things that are so clear in the
Quran
that are very easily
taken in
by anyone who has
even a mustard grain of intelligence.
You don't need to know rocket science. You
don't need to be the most intelligent of
people, but you find people who are the
most intelligent.
Academics.
People who are intellectuals.
People who are very very articulate.
They struggle to understand some of these basics.
There is isbaab.
There is isbaab that I'm going to mention
inshallah
ta'ala. But before we do that, al malikoo.
Al Maleku brother and sister, is bad to
Ismul
Al Maleku is a name from the names
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, like Allah
mentions another position, malik and nas. Malik yomideen.
Again, malik is from the names
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and also al
Malik is from the names of Allah
The proof for it
is, And here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, when
he mentions this in his verses,
he's trying to show his sovereignty,
his ownership that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
the king of kings.
And that Allah azza wa j should be
fit.
He is the
the king and the
owner on the yomul qiyama.
I know brothers and sisters, when you look
at Surat al Fatih, this is very very
important. I'm going to mention this.
Authority is always required.
One thing we learned from Surat al Fatih,
how authority is always required.
You find that
any type of relationship,
authority is always needed. If authority goes missing,
we've got a problem.
Even though the relationship should be built upon
what?
Compassion,
love and affection and mercy.
This is why Allah Subhanahu says Ar Rahmanur
Rahim. Trying to show the people how merciful
he is
to the sins
and also the Fawahish, the filth that they
will be coming with.
But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knew
that even though he is so merciful, he
is so good to the people. They are
not Or they're going to take his rahma
for granted.
They are going to take his rahma for
granted. So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wanted to
show his authority to these people.
And if you look also at the creation,
and I'll give you an example of a
teacher.
If the teacher is just jokey, he's just
nice all the time
towards the, towards his, students.
They love him to bits. He comes into
the classroom just clowning about,
making jokes with him. That's why they like
him more than the other teacher.
The moment he tells them to do their
homework or he tries to get serious, are
they going to take him seriously?
They're not gonna take him seriously.
Are you with me brothers and sisters? So
there always has to be that authority. And
likewise, sometimes in husband and wife relationship,
sometimes you find that,
you know, the husband complains about the wife
not taking him seriously
And it doesn't require much questioning to understand
why.
The majority of it should be built upon
compassion,
love and affection and And authority needs to
be there as well. And likewise with the
children.
And Allah even says, Ma'aghar rakabbirabbikal
kareem. What made you deluded
about the nobility of your Lord?
They were deluded even though Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala was very nice to them. They took
it for granted. So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
showed them the what? Sovereignty.
Over and Allah
is going to look after, is going to
overcome the situation.
And he has the sifa of Al Khalaba
which means to overcome and Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala stops whatever he stops and Allah does
whatever he does. Shih ibn Kathir explains
this and he says that,
If Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants something
Nobody can stop that
and nobody can prevent it.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gets the better out
of everything.
Then he says,
You find that
the majority of those who are intellectual
and who are the brainiacs of our people
of Bani Adam,
they weren't able to understand this. They erred
in these situations,
except
a fewer of the minority
of the people.
And I mentioned earlier, brothers and sisters, sometimes
you find an intellectual,
An intelligent person. He's articulate.
He's an academic.
You look at his grades. He's maybe graduated
from Oxford or Cambridge or one of the
most top university you find in the country.
But basic things,
he doesn't understand.
And there's reasons why. And we should take
heed from this.
If you look into the Quran, you will
find these reasons.
From the reason as to why a person
might become misguided
and he's prevented guidance is these 10 things
I'm going to mention.
Following your desires.
Being enslaved to your Hawa.
Hawa Muttaba is as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
wa Sallam mentioned on the hadith, Salas Latulmul
Muhrikat.
3 things
is going to lead a person to destruction.
One of the things that was mentioned Hawa
Muttaba,
being enslaved to your desires. To an extent
sometimes you find that it becomes a person's
Ilah.
It becomes his God.
You know how we have a Sharia.
Everything that Allah mentions,
he tells us to stand, we stand. He
tells us to sit, we sit down.
We turn left, he tells us to turn
left, we turn left.
We jump, we jump
And so on and so forth. We have
a Sharia
where we are like an animal.
Anything that Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala tells us to
do. How the shepherd treats his animals. That's
how we are. The mumin.
Wherever he's directed, he's directed. He goes.
But you find some people they have become
so enslaved to their
Hawa. They've become like his Lord.
Haven't you seen the person who took his
Hawa as an Ilah? He took his desires
as a god.
Wherever his desire takes him, he goes to
it
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to show us that
this is a mani min Mawani al Hidayah
Allah says in the Quran
Do not follow your desires. Once you start
following your desires it is going to mislead
you away from
the correct path.
And if they don't respond back to you,
then know that these people they are only
following their desires. So Ibn Khaym he
mentions regarding this ayah, there's only what? Two
situations. When
the proofs and evidences comes to you clearly,
either you accept it, you submit to it,
or you turn away from it.
You respond back to the call of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
or you don't.
And if you don't, you are following what
your desires, then you're on your way to
the way of the oppressors. Second thing, al
kibr.
We talked about this yesterday as well. How
kibr arrogance
has caused a lot of people to turn
away from what? Studying.
Or sometimes somebody comes to them with the
truth, they don't accept it. And we showed
you also how Mutawaw
Abu Huraira radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu was when Abdul
Rahman ibn Haris came to him.
When he was given his fatwa for so
long, he didn't say to him, Aqi, listen.
I know so many hadith. I know a
1,000 hadith. Who are you to come tell
me? Rather Tawad Al Aqi said, Did Aish
and Umusalmi really say that? So he took
the position.
And also the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he
explained to us what kibr is.
To reject the truth and to be it
to the people. A young kid comes up
to you, he goes, you made a mistake
in the salat for you to put him
down. You're just a young kid. What are
you to tell me? I'm older. I've been
studying more. Had a kadali come in. Al
kibr. Allah says,
Look how powerful that is. Allah says, anybody
who has kibr, arrogance,
I am going to move the verses away
from him.
Once he sees the verses,
he won't believe in it.
Sometimes, you know, the Quran touches us. Right?
As many people, the Quran doesn't touch them.
The verses come to them is as if
Bob, Jerry Jerry, and Harry are speaking.
It's just like any other speech.
Yesterday, the other day I watched a video.
A guy he, you know, was reminding of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
And then we responded back and he said,
I said what I said.
I said what I said. As if the
guy doesn't care about the verses that are
being mentioned to him. I said what I
said. Put that to the side now.
Not hastening
to fulfill
the command of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala. Like,
the verse come to you that you hasten
to it.
Allah says in the Quran about the Munafiqeen.
When the call of Jihad used to come
to them
in the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam.
They were satisfied
with being from those
who stayed behind.
Watubih alaqalubihim.
And a seal was played on there, was
placed on their hearts. The call of jihad
came. They were told to go out but
they came out with excuses.
They came out with excuses that were invalid.
And obviously the prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam just
let them stay because the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam at that time he wasn't, you know,
getting Wahidis.
Ayaat came down later on,
which told him about how these munafiqunah really
are.
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam used
to allow them. Have you say anything to
them? By not hastening, what did Allah do
to them? He placed his seal on their
hearts. And also another point I'm going to
mention and this is something that I find
a lot of the takfirs online.
They propagate.
They start dropping ayaat to the people. Akhi
Allah said this,
how are you not responding to the call?
Allah is telling you to go out to
jihad and fight with ISIS. Why are you
still sitting on your backside?
I mentioned this yesterday as well.
Wabhathin muhakak.
Anybody who brings a textual evidence to you,
you have this Qaida.
Firstly, you have to know what? Is this
Hadith,
this verse that is being brought to you,
is it authentic? Na'am Taib. The Hadith and
I is a authentic Khalas. Next step.
Is it now being used in this proper
correct context?
If I say to you, we need to
celebrate, I mentioned this yesterday as well, we
need to celebrate a Mawlid for Isa alaihis
salatu wa salam because he's mentioned in Surat
Al Maidah.
The end of Surat Al Maidah, Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
quotes, you
know,
you know, where He talks about letters have
When they're talking about the Eid, let's just
go into a mawlid now because he was
mentioned in Surah Al Maidah. Do we agree
that Maidah is a verse from the Quran?
It's a surah from the Quran. Right? What's
the next step? Is it being correcting is
it being used in the correct context?
Or someone that uses
he says okay to use
Oppressing 1.
Oppressing somebody, brothers and sisters,
There's so many texts that
show
the seriousness of this matter. The prophet salallahu
alayhi wa sallam himself used to be scared.
Where do we stand? And another hadith
says,
He says I hope to meet Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala and none of you will come
on Yomar Qiyama
and say that I oppressed him either with
his wealth
or blood money.
Are you with me brothers and sisters?
Whoever has oppressed his brother.
Whether he spoke about his Erb
or he spoke about,
you know, or something pertaining himself, pertaining him,
he's oppressed him
or anything it might be, then let him
try to do tahallu. Seek forgiveness today.
And Allah says, wallahu laihadinqumabwalimin.
This is where the shahid is. Allah says
he won't guide those who oppressed. Again,
wanting to remain upon what? Ignorance.
Loving to remain upon ignorance. Allah says to
us about Samud.
Samud,
the people of Samud, who were they sent
to?
Salih.
They were sent to Or Salih was sent
to them, not the other way around.
We try to guide them, we show them
the direction of what to do.
First, the hubbul ama, they chose,
they preferred
being blind over guidance.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala took them with
a very serious punishment
due to what they used to do with
their hands.
So when the guidance came, they know, you
know, she's gonna
stay upon our way.
This is also something very common today. The
guy has the ability to learn, doesn't give
2 hoots about it.
As Sadhi Sura 6th point.
The Shaitan beautifying
something for an individual.
Later on we're going to spoke speak about
how the Shaitan
or the person who's misguided. He's not going
to come
and tell you this is haram, but still
do it. So you say you know how
like
He swore by Allah I am from those
who is a adviser to you. He swore
by Allah. When we later, insha Allah, try
to look at that verse
of how he swore 3 times and he
used heed
that. So when shaytan comes and
beautifies it for a person, he won't come
and say to you, Akhir, this is music,
but halal hip hop,
halal hip hop. This is the name that
is being propagated now. It's not necessarily music,
but people have been deluded and deceived by
saying halal.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't guide those who
disbelieve.
Imam Adhhabir Rahim Allahu Ta'ala,
he mentioned a powerful statement.
How many people do you find?
They don't
use the or their intelligence doesn't benefit them
from the kufr they are upon.
Imam al Daybir Rahmulaihis salaamalahu
dhakka bira iman. May
Allah curse
intelligence
without iman.
And may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala be pleased
with stability
and dumbness
with Taqwa.
You mentioned, Asir alaamunubala.
Point number 8, Al Fusook. Wallahu laiahadil
tawmul fasekeen. Allah doesn't guide those who are
who are transgressing.
Lying. Again, it's a means of
not being shown
guidance.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
doesn't guide the transgressing
liar.
Point number 10.
Point number 10 is Qiyana,
which is
being treacherous.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't guide
the plotting of those who are treacherous.
So these are 10 points.
We can quickly go through it very quickly.
What was point number 1?
Following your desire. 2nd point?
Kibir. 3rd point?
Not hastening to fulfill the commandments of Allah
azza wa Jal. Point number 4.
Are you with me?
Are you typing on the phone, or are
you on Facebook?
Alright.
Any other point?
You. You. You. You.
What's point number 5?
No. Don't worry.
To love to remain upon Jahal.
Al fizqhuwadzulmooal
kufr. Thing that makes it up.
Transgression,
also what?
Dhulm, oppression, and also
Kufr. Jaid.
And then, the Sheikh he mentions, Illa Aqalal
Qareel.
Except you find that the few are of
the minority.
The Muslims already a minority.
Even within them Only understand this.
Understanding
basics in our religion
you find that a lot of people have
been prevented. Aqalal Qaleel. When you look at
the majority 1,600,000,000
these are Muslims.
How many of these Muslims will you find
that are upon?
Firstly worshiping Allah Azza wa Jal accordingly. I
go to places like Bradford sometimes
and you will see the amount of shirk.
Who people who believe that it's okay for
you to go and ask the messenger sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
People in Bradford in the north, you find
that they make up a lot of the
numbers of the Muslims today in our country.
A lot of people in this country today
brothers and sisters, they believe that's okay to
go to the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and
ask the messenger, oh, you're a soul of
Allah. Give me this.
Then how many of them are just upon
the correct Islam? How many of them from
them are upon the sunnah of the prophet,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
How many of them are establishing it to
hate correctly?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, brothers and sisters, you
have to understand that
the number is not a Huja.
The majority is not a proof.
Saying things like, oh the majority
of the sisters today
they are not wearing dajil bab. So I'm
not gonna wear it as well. You find
some of our young sisters. May Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala guide them and keep them firm.
Who say this to their mothers. Oh the
majority is not wearing it. You know. The
majority is smoking.
The majority is doing she shep. Everybody is
doing it though, Hoia. Anybody. Why are you
stopping me? Everybody is going out. Everybody has
makeup on their face. Everybody's got these haircuts.
You Now someone who cares, they think it
looks nice, but it doesn't.
With me, brothers and sisters, Al majority not
Al majority. I put Alifullaham in majority. The
majority is not a proof. Allah, subhanahu wa
ta'ala, time and time again in the Quran,
he talks about the majority. He said,
The majority
of usaq
are people who transgress.
Allah says in the Quran also,
You follow the majority of the people on
the earth, they will lead you astray.
That verse is powerful brothers and sisters.
You follow the majority of the people on
the earth, they will lead you astray.
Allah says in another verse,
You find that a lot of people they
say they believe
or they will actually believe in Allah, but
they still come
a
shirk.
Quran, as they mentioned.
How did Allah say? How can a person
believe and do shirk at the same time?
Hadah. That's that's a point. But there's another
thing that the
the, ulamaqalun
they mentioned.
How can you believe
and do shirk at the same time?
They believe in rububiyah,
but they disbelieve in what? The uluhiyah.
They believe that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala waqalikur
raziqulmalikulmudabir.
He is the one that creates, He is
the one that provides for us. The mushrike
and Quraysh, they believed in that. If you
ask them who is Allah, they will say,
Allah.
You ask them who created heaven and earth,
they say Allah is Abuja.
Why don't you just use your why don't
you take heed then?
But what they done was they done shirk
in Ibadah.
They believed Allah. Yes, we agree. Hands up.
But he's gonna go through maybe somebody in
the grave. Oh Ahi, please not Ahi. Oh,
Sheikh,
you know,
ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give me
children. Ask Allah to forgive me. They would
go like that. Go through somebody
else. So they don't iman there and they
don't shirk there.
What did Iblis say?
I am he swore by Allah, by his
might. I'm going to mislead all of them
except those who are sincere.
He went after the majority and he is
misleading the majority in Allah
and he affirms this.
They followed him except a group from the
believers.
Allah says in another verse, We
didn't find that a lot of them, they
done what? They fulfilled
their contracts.
Allah says in another
verse as
all.
You find that the majority of people, they
follow suspicion.
And then the minority,
Are we gonna say now okay Akhi, you
know,
there's only a few people that thank Allah
Azzurana are gonna do it. La hada Allah
praising the few.
There's other hadith that talk about a minority.
Except those who
believed in Allah and they done good deeds
and there's only a few of them.
Imam Muslim rahim Allahu Ta'ala he narrated his
hadith
on authority of Abu Huraira radiAllahu ta'ala. I'm
gonna stand over it. He said Badal Islam
Wugareeb and we'll say Oudogareeb and kama Bada
Islam started strange
and it's going to come back strange.
Give light tidings to those who are strange.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhabi commented on this
and he said,
how stupid
is
the individual now and how ignorant is he
to use the majority as proof
when the prophet mentioned this hadith
and that the only
people who are praised are the minority,
how is he going to use the majority
or doing something? Let's do that as well.
When the prophet clearly said that at the
end of time,
it's going to come back very strange.
It started up very strange at the time
when the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam was
taking place. Was everybody accepting alayhi wa sallam
in numbers?
People cussed the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
They called him majloon. They called him sahar.
They said intatibioona
illa rajulan mashurrah. You are following a person
who has a magic spell on him.
His family members were killed. His companions were
killed.
You know, they used to say things like,
are we going to leave our forefathers for
you?
Everything that we've been upon for so many
years, you're gonna come and you're gonna tell
us what to do.
So it started off very very strange,
very strange.
It's a I was trying to think of.
We're going to make all the Aliyah as
one? This is indeed very very strange.
You want us to get rid of all
these statues and make them 1? And indeed,
it's very, very strange.
So he started off strange, Then he went
through a good period and it's going to
come back very strange.
I remember one time at work, I was
saying to them, guys I don't want to
have a mortgage.
I don't wanna have a mortgage. I'm happy
to stay in my council flat. Buy the
house if Allah makes it easy for me.
As for me taking Riba. No. Wallahi they
laughed at me.
And these are Muslims.
You wanna have a house? You wanna stay
in a council floor?
Is there any other way to get a
house?
Like, literally,
I still remember the looks on some of
these people's faces.
Like, it was something
totally unimaginable. Cave.
Are we not living today? Are we struggling?
Take a mortgage, I'm gonna die or something
is gonna happen to me.
Even council houses today is being belittled.
I know it's a lot of us Muslims
in the community. We would love something like
that. People are waiting 8 9 months. Yes.
For it in London.
So the prophet salallahu alaihi was saying, Abraham
Islam started strange and it's going to return
back strange.
And Tawba, glad tidings to those who are
strange. Tawba could also be said, it's a
tree from Aljannah.
So the prophet was asked,
He was asked who are the strange ones?
He said,
Those who are going to rectify
when corruption
becomes widespread amongst the people. When the people
become corrupted, there's going to be a certain
people who are going to rectify this.
Maveenav Dinahkar in another wording, Aladeena
yuslihoonamaafsallanasoo
Those who are going to rectify
what the people have corrupted from my sunnah.
Today the sunnah has been tarnished. Right? People
are just doing bid'a and ascribing it to
the religion and saying it's sunnah.
But the strange ones today are those who
are going to come and they're going to
put everything in its correct place.
Also, in another narration,
it says,
There are people who are righteous. Sarihun.
And they are only a few
amongst evil people who are many.
Most of them they disobey them.
The majority of them, they disobey them. Only
few of them, you will find that, are
obedient to these people.
I think it's time, Insha'Allah.
From next lesson, we will go into the
first principle,
We'll be back at 3 o'clock.
3 o'clock, we will restart, InshaAllah Ta'ala.
