Having sincerity when it comes to the religion.
In the Ibadat
that we worship Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with
and not associating partners of him.
And also he clarified to us that which
is in opposition to the opposite of this
which is a shirk.
And you find that the majority of the
Quran
talks about this asal,
this
fundamental.
In many different ways.
With a type of speech
that even the most dumbest
of common individual
will understand this.
And then when what happened took place to
the
What the shaytan done to them is,
he made
being sincere in your worship
he made being sincere in your worship
as if it is belittling the salihin,
as it's a form of belittlement
to the salihin. So by you saying,
this Ibadah, I'm only gonna do it solely
for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He made this
look like to them
as if this is an act where you
are belittling Rasalihin.
Like he deserves some of that, you know,
he deserves some of the cake as well,
you know. So don't just give it to
Allah. Share it out to the creation.
That's what the shaytan done to them.
Also being short, falling short in giving them
the correct rights.
And what he turned shirk interim for
is
by he turned shirk
into,
ani showing love to Ras alihin.
Why it's why I am and those who
follow them.
So
being sincere in the religion
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
When you look at the linguistic meaning of
it means
It means which means
salvation.
And the is the person who is sincere
is the one who singles out to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
When a person has now made something sincere,
it means that he's made it pure. He
has made it pure.
Well, some scholars I mentioned, I think is,
you know, imperative to mention it is,
is that when a person does a action,
he does the action the same way he
would do it in secret in the open.
So some scholars mentioned.
However, you would act in the secret,
you would go and do that action in
public.
This is true sincerity.
Sometimes people tend to ask the question,
okay. How do I know if I'm being
sincere or what is the signs
of me showing sincerity?
The way you would act
inside your home which is hidden from everybody
else
when nobody is watching you,
that's what you go and do in the
public
as well. And truthfulness
and truthfulness, brothers and sisters, when
it comes to sincerity, is that his inwardness,
is more worked on, is more great than
actually his,
his outward appearance or the way he goes
out in the public.
Also, what some scholars mentioned is
is forgetting about what the people,
or look forgetting about how the people look
at you.
And to always just consistently
spend a lot of time looking at the
creation
creator, sorry.
To not care about how the creation look
at you, but to keep looking
at
how the creator sees
the actions that you do. So just be
concerned with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Pay attention to this point. Whoever now tries
to beautify himself to the people in a
way that
he really
isn't.
He will fall
and be humiliated in the eyes of the
people.
So you wanna show to the people that
you're so righteous when the reality of the
world matter is, at night,
in your home, you are watching filthy stuff
on your computer,
but you wanna show it to the people
that you're righteous
in the public, sooner or later, you'll find
that you're really going to drop in the
eyes of the people
and the respect will go.
Fadayl ibn Ayad, there was a great tab
that he said, tarkul amaliminajinas
I riya, to leave of an action
due
to the people. This is a form of
riya.
You know how normally people they do things
because of people watching them. Right? Also to
leave something off now because
of the people, it's a riya. Sometimes a
guy says, oh, you know, wallahi, if I'm
praying there, then I fear for myself. So
I'm gonna leave off my Nawafil. This
is
from the deception of the Shaitan.
He leaves of an Ibad because of that
person.
You never left a soul because of Allah
azza wa Jal. You left it off because
of that person
with reality. Walamalaminajinasi
shirk and to do an action because of
the people, this is a shirk.
True sincerity is that Allah saves you from
the 2 things mentioned.
Some other scholars, they mentioned Likhlas, Sincerity
is a secret between you and Allah azza
wa Jal.
The angel doesn't know that he writes
about it.
Subhanallah, look at this.
The angel doesn't know about it, that he
writes about
it. Even Even the shaitan doesn't know about
it. They end up corrupting
it.
Also the desire doesn't know about it. And
it's the point is he tries to hide
this as much as possible.
Sahib Nusayr radiAllahu
ta'ala Anhu said to him,
What is
that which is more severe upon the soul
and the most difficult?
He said it is Ikhlas, sincerity.
Some scholars, they mention Alikhlas that you don't
request
with your action anybody to witness it except
Allah
I know with me, brothers and sisters,
until you reach a point where every step
that you take, every move that you make,
you always ask yourself, did I do this
action for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
Did I truly do this action for Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala?
And after you've done it, you still ask
yourself,
was my intentions correct?
Then this person won't actualize true sincerity.
In every Ibadan that you do, you always
ask that question, and you reiterate it all
the time. When it comes to your salawat,
when it comes to your siyam, when it
comes to you maybe being good to an
individual.
And I mentioned this yesterday as also Fianna
Thoree. I
haven't tried to rectify more than anything
and worked so hard on it trying to
rectify more than my intention. Why? Because my
intention goes from side to side. This is
Sufyan I Thuri, the great Tabi'i.
And he was called Suratul Ikhlas
We mentioned Suratul
Ikhlas was called Suratul Ikhlas. The word Ikhlas,
sincere, was called insincerity.
Why? Because it's purely speaks about
the attributes of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the one who acts upon it
and acts upon this, the surah, this chapter
of the Quran,
then he has surely
been sincere in the tawhid of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
And this word, Alikhlas, it is what
Tawhid means.
Are you with me, brothers and sisters,
Alikhlas, do you understand what Alikhlas is?
Okay. What about Shirk now? Do you know
what Shirk means? A shirk who
is sorrowful Ibadatiligayli
laiha azza wa Jal To take
and to give it to Allah
I'm going to ask you a question.
How are you?
Would you get your salah, salatul dour? You
pray salatul dour today. Right?
Would you say this salah today is for
Fulan in the grave or the prophet salah
alayhi wa sallam?
Why not?
Salah is only for Allah. Salah is a
Ibadah
that is only directed towards Allah
Okay. What about dua? Me making dua.
Would I do that to other than Allah
Why not?
But what's the proof that it's for only
Allah
Anything more
direct and clear to that?
Anything more clear than that?
A duaul Ibadah.
Just like you wouldn't take that salat and
give it to somebody else.
You won't do the exact same thing with
the dua.
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, a duaul Ibadah.
Dua is al Ibadah.
And then he recited the statement of Allah
Azzawajal,
Your Lord has said, call onto me so
I can respond back to you. You will
find his brothers, wallahi,
sunma billahi,
sunma tallahi.
1 of the acts that is so widespread
in our world today, going to the prophet.
I've seen this with my own eyes.
I live in Medina. Right? The prophet's masjid.
Going past the grave, people are standing there
having khushur, just like
standing like that in front of the Prophet's
grave.
That kind of khushur, brothers and sisters, la
yasra'illah Allah.
Sometimes people don't, you know, you won't find
a teacher shedding light on this issue. Shaha
D'Razakal, better he mentioned this. Washa'Sulaymanur
Rahayli.
Doing Khushur, having Khushur in your prayer, sometimes
when you get emotional.
You only do the lillahi azza wajal. You
don't do that for the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa jal. People are standing at the Prophet's
grave going khusur, having khusur,
and putting their hands on making dua to
the Prophet
Where is the most sacred place on the
face of this earth?
Which is the best place in the world?
What's your name? You, you, you.
So is the guy that turns out. You?
Rehan. Rehan.
Where is the best place in the world?
I'll give you a clue. Makkah, Madinah, or
Mazel Akhsa?
You like Masil Al Aqsa more than Makkah?
Where is the most akhda space? You.
All of them turn around. You. You. You.
You. You. You.
You. Yeah. No. The one next to you.
The one that said yeah. You. You.
Mecca. Good.
The most sacred place on the face of
this earth.
Brothers and sisters, a couple of years ago,
I was making tawaf.
This is the most sacred place and then
someone wants to come up to me and
say to me, don't go to tawheed. All
you'll ever speak about tawheed,
tawheed, shirk, shirk, shirk. Who's committing shirk? And
then they bring it to hadith of the
Prophet
Around the Kaaba, wallahi brothers and sisters, I
was making tawaf,
a group of people come in, what did
they start saying,
Oh Ali, save us from the fire.
A Egyptian guy, he shouts, he says to
them, Say You Allah, say You Allah. Guess
what they do? They raise their voices even
louder. Oh, Ali save us from the fire.
And after all of these brothers and sisters,
someone's gonna tell me, don't go to a
tawhid. Don't, you know, stop banging on about
it. You know, people are already muhidun.
Even if everything that came out of the
people of the sunnah's mouth was only to
eat,
all they ever spoke about was,
There's no ab. Why? Because the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam, what did he say?
There's a hadith. Who can guess?
What is the hadith that shows that if
I was to make everything that I talk
about a Tawhid, then there would be no
problem.
The
best dua that a person could make is
on the day of
The best thing that I ever said and
the prophets before me is what?
If 24 hours I sat here and I
never taught anything other than a tawhid,
But still that's not even what the scholars
do.
They talk about different topics, and you'll find
this daw. I remember when I was in
Hajj
when I was in hajj, maybe the first
hajj that I done, around 6 years ago,
a guy came up to me when I
gave the reminder in Arafa by Tawhid.
He goes,
you know, you Wahabis,
all you'd ever talk about is a Tawhid.
You know, you just talk about, you know,
there's other topics, you know. The world's bigger
than that.
I'm not saying to you don't speak about
any other topic. We studied etiquettes right yesterday.
It's also gonna do the advice of Luhman
and there's many other topics that we speak
about.
So
shirk
2 types of shirk. Shirk Akbar and shirk
Azhar. What shirk Akbar?
Very quickly.
To get it.
Shirk Azhar. What is shirk Azhar?
Yeah. Last say
form from the forms of shirk Azhar. And
he's referring to the Haditha,
Where the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
That which I feared the most
upon my people. Who is he speaking to
Abu Bakr Umar? There is the best of
the companions sitting there. He's speaking to them.
One we shouldn't think, oh, no, I'm sincere.
Don't worry about me. The Sheikh is speaking
about somebody else.
The Prophet
He said, You Rasulullah, what is shirkul
Azhar? He said, Yeah, showing off.
Also about it, tareef,
the Sheikh Salih al al Sheikh, he mentioned,
I think this is the best tareef when
it comes to minor shirk.
When it comes to minor shirk,
and sheikh alaihis salami, he took it from
Sheikh alaihis salami, he
said,
Every sin,
every sin that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam
named as the minor shirk, but it didn't
reach
it didn't reach what?
The level of shirk akbar.
When I make Dua, and I'm solely doing
it for the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
is there any Allah in the equation?
No. It's not. There's no
But you find some actions that the Prophet
called shirk Akbar, shirk Asghar.
Like
Whoever hangs a talisman, a ta'awis,
in the Somalis they've got a name for
it. What's that thing that people wear?
Harsina'am.
That's the word.
People, they wear these things. They feel like
it's good luck
wearing this. You find it as sikhs.
They wear this thing around their, these bundles,
right? You have probably seen it. It's got
a thread. Feels like as long as he's
wearing it, he's going to be
protected.
Obviously, this person is not
directly worshiping besides Allah,
but he turned a sebab into something of
the religion. So shaheedu, this hasn't reached shirk
Akbar. So if anything the prophet mentioned
to be shirk, but he doesn't reach the
shirk Akbar.
Brothers and sisters pertaining to Surat Al Khlas,
and I'm going to read a quote of
Ibn Al Khayyib.
I've heard people say to me, Akay Abu
Taymiyyah, why do you have to speak about
Asma'u Sifat?
Names and attributes of Allah ajazhu jal. You
know how we believe that Allah azza wa
Jal, he has a face because of Allah
azza wa sama. The
face of your Lord will remain. That Allah
has 2 hands.
Allah has 2 outstretched righteous,
generous hands.
These verses we believe in, but we don't
say that Allah's characteristics is like the characteristics
of the creation.
We know that different people have different views
and ideas pertaining to this. A brother many
brothers have come up to me saying, Akhi,
you know, this hardens the heart.
You know speaking about Asma was Sifat, names
and attributes, let's put that to the side.
This is about,
you know, theology that is very ancient.
Let's not cause a big issue out of
it. Let's not even go into it. It
hardens the heart.
Well, my brothers and
sisters,
you know the hadith of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam.
When there was his companion, he always used
to read Surat Ikhlas in his prayer. So
another companion went to complain to the Prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Look at him Al Qaim says,
This man, after the prophet, salallahu alaihi wa
sallam, heard this.
This why I asked him the question, why
do you keep doing this? Because because I
love Surat Al Khlas. Because it's a Sifat
Ar Rahman.
It is the characteristic of the Most Merciful
One. This is why I keep reading it.
So the Prophet said to him,
Your love for the Surah
got you into Al Jannah.
And whoever now loves the sifat of Allah
azza wa Jal, then Allah azza wa Jal
loves him.
So the more you spend time learning the
names and the attributes,
which increases you in Ma'rifah
of knowing your Lord,
the more of a chance that you're going
to entering into a journey going to be
from those who are loved Allah ajawajal.
So way to maybe tackle this doubt.
The majority of the Quran speaks about how
many aya do we find. At the end
of it, it says, Sameer
What are these?
The
names and attributes of Allah
These are the names of Allah azza wa
Jal and call unto Allah azza wa Jal
with it.
And then the sheikh, he says,
You find that the majority of the Quran
it speaks about is fundamental
from many different angles. Even the most dumbest
of people they understand it.
You know brother, this is sad. Wallahi is
sad.
Something that is so clear to understand, today
people don't understand.
If I say to you, Wa Abdulla, Worship
Allah,
does that require
a degree to understand it?
But you still find the majority of people
don't understand it.
And I told you before of the mohaniyah,
the referent
means that cause a person now to not
be guided or not be able to understand.
Ibn al Qayyim says,
You find in the Quran,
it either
gives you information
about the names and attributes of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala
and also his actions.
This is a type of tawhid
that gives you knowledge based information,
gives you information.
Or
it is calling you to worship Allah without
associating partners.
Or to refrain from everything that is what?
Worship besides Allah
And this is a type of a tawhid
where you are being requested to do something.
The first one is information. Right? When Allah
says to you,
this is information about Allah
Either the Quran speaks about that or He
speaks about you now being requested to do
this Ibadah in the most correct, righteous and
safe way.
Or you find a command.
Or you find that Allah is telling you
to stay away from an action.
The different commandments in the Quran when Allah
is telling you to pray. This is a
command. These are from the things that complete
and perfect the person's
The whole Quran is about to
brothers and sisters,
to Allah
who calls to the religion.
And when you look at his dawah,
there is absolutely no to hide in there.
One of the ways to know is this
person
calling to the correct way, is to see,
does this person
zda'wah,
is it built and revolving around the tuhid?
How many years did I quote a tuhid?
We send noah to his people. 900 and
50 years, he called the people to to
hate. 9.50.
All he's saying to them,
simple as that.
And only a few people they accepted a
call.
Ibrahim
He is just by himself.
Try to tell them time and time again,
Surat Al Maraim, you find so many ayaat.
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. How many years
was he according to?
23 years. People only think in the pre
era of Al Madinah, only before Al Madini
was calling to Atuhi,
On his deathbed, On his
deathbed,
On his deathbed he's dying. He say, may
the curse of Allah Azzawajal
be upon the Jews and the Christians who
took their graveyards and spaces of worship.
Throughout his whole call, he was calling to
Atuhaid. Yousef gets shoved into prison. What is
he called to?
You're going to be worshiping deities
besides Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, or that which
is better is Allah by himself.
So many
Hadith and examples that I can give to
you my brothers and sisters.
A guy is calling to Allah and he
has no
tawhid.
This is something in our life brings astonishment
to somebody.
You find in the Quran, either Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala is commanding it to hate. Here
the sheikh, he says that you find that
this basic thing,
Allah is calling to it in his Quran
from many different angles.
Either he's commanding with
the first command is what?
Prohibiting you from shirk was the first prohibition
in the Quran.
The first prohibition is stay away from shirk.
Do not make deeds besides Allah azza wa
jal. All you find that Allah azza wa
Jal, what's he doing? He's praising those who
establish it to hid.
Those who don't commit shirk of Allah azza
wa Jal.
Or you find Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
mentioning
the punishment of those who commit shirk.
Oh, where Allah is putting a question forth,
disapproving,
and disciplining those who are committing shirk.
Are you going to be worshipping besides Allah
azza wa Jal?
Something that doesn't bring any benefit, no harm.
Oh Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is defaming shirk,
showing you the deficiency of a shirk.
Quoting Ibrahim alaihis salatu wa sama saying to
his people,
You know what we say to our parents,
right, when they get on our
nerves, Ibrahim said that to the people of
Oh, where Allah subhanahu is showing you the
ayub, the deficiency, the shortcomings of the Islam.
When Ibrahim said,
why are you worshiping something that can't hear,
that can't see,
and that is not able to bring you
any benefit.
So you find that the Quran from many
different angles speaking about this basic thing.
Is there anybody here doesn't understand that?
Is there anyone here who says that he
doesn't understand?
There is an it's basic
dumbed down
Arabic.
Even those who don't understand Arabic will understand,
but you find people to understand.
So then the sheikh, he says,
what the shaytan done?
He made it look like to them that
if you are sincere, then you are belittling
the salihim.
So you got let's just say for example,
we have something that we really love. We
got a cake.
Gotta share it our life to the people
that we love.
Are these kalalik? Oh, you're not greedy.
You don't give it out to the people.
If I get a cake, I'm gonna give
it out to the people. Right?
Not gonna just eat it all myself.
So this Ibad is like the cake.
By you only giving it
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, you're being greedy
with that act.
And you are blittening. And you're not looking
after all these people. Trying to bring an
example to make you understand.
So the Shaytan made it look like to
them that they're doing something bad by only
giving it to Allah ajawajal.
So what happened? They started feeling, oh no,
we're belittling the righteous people in the grave.
So we need to kind of like share
out the Ibadah.
For Shaytanu,
it comes from the word sha'tan,
not shatta that you put in your food.
Shatta means bizbaz. Shattaan,
which means,
to be far.
Shaitaan was far from the khair.
Shaitaan was far from the khair. And you
find that the shaitaan is 2 types, a
shaitaan in aljuni,
and also the shaitaan from the ins. You
find that shaitaan, you find from the ins
as well, who give the doubts.
Every Prophet, we gave him an enemy from
the jinn and also the ins.
They start revealing to one another.
And from the asalib of the shaitan, brother
and sister, this is a very good point.
From the asalib of the shaitan, from the
different ways of the shaitan,
What he, what he tries to do is,
he tries to flip the reality.
Tries to flip the reality
and also know that
those who are from the followers of the
Shaitan, they're not gonna come to you and
say to you brother, you know I'm from
the Shaitan. Right? You know, just
you can take this, but remember I'm from
the shaitan. Laowa Allah, he's not.
He's going to try and flip the reality.
Like the Munafiqun, did they say, You Rasoolullah,
we are hypocrites. Right? We are hypocrites,
and we are here to stab you in
the back.
They said, we bear witness that you are
the messenger of Allah. And then they were
stabbing the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in
the
back. They were making different masajid. Their Aran
next to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
masjid. So the disunity could take place.
Radhu bianyakoonam al Khawarif.
They were satisfied to be from those who
stayed behind.
They swear by Allah, we are with you
the prophet
When When the innovator comes to you, he's
not gonna say to your brother, I've got
bida with me. If you want, you know,
you can have the innovation.
This is exactly what the shaytan done.
Shaitan came and he whispered to Adam. He
said to Adam,
shall I show you a tree
that will remain forever?
Once you eat from this tree, you're going
to stay in agenda forever and ever.
Did he say to him that it's a
bad tree? He told him a good tree.
Right? And a kingdom that will never deteriorate.
He called himself Samah Nafsahu Nasi Han.
He called himself a sincere advisor.
He
swore by Allah, I am from the most
truthful and most sincere advisors.
Wasam Saba zawari
alkhult.
And he called that which would cause
them to be chucked out of Al Jannah,
eternity.
So you eat from this, eternity.
Even though
eating from that was going to get him
kicked out.
And he called the deterioration of his kingdom,
a kingdom that's going to remain.
And this is exactly what the shaytan done
to them. You look at it now? The
shaytan
made something bad look good to them and
something good look bad to him.
By you doing Ikhlas, you're actually belittling the
salihin.
And this is exactly what we have today.
Shaitan hasn't stopped. He swore right.
Islamic concerts,
Islamic hip hop.
You know, are you all seeing how insane
this is? If you just look at the
word,
Islamic hip hop
or halal hip hop.
Guy comes out into the news, and he
says this is part of the religion.
I'm sure you don't know who I'm talking
about. Deen Squad. I'm not even gonna shy
away from the name.
And all these other guys who are coming
out and saying hada halal hip hop.
And he made it look like to them
that committing shirk
is something good because they are showing love
to Ras alihin. So by them showing love
to Ras alihin,
they didn't realize that they fell into shirk.
So Ibn Al Qaymi says,
from the reasons as people what as the
reason why the people they started worshiping statues
is because they became extreme
with the creation.
Wa'iha'ta'ihi
for khamanzilati.
And they gave these these creation
something above than that which they deserved.
Until they were given a portion of lordship.
This is exactly what the people today have
done with Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and also
with Ali Radiallahu ta'ala. Earlier, what did I
say? I was going around the Kaaba, and
people were saying, yeah, Ali, save us from
the fire.
Because they started praising Ali so much,
they started giving him things that are only
special and exclusive for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Same thing with these people who commit mauled.
They praised the prophet so much that he
pushed him up to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's
level.
This is why the prophet said what?
Do not be extreme and extravagant towards me.
Not extravagant. Do not be extreme.
Towards me, just like the nussara were with
Isa.
When they went to scream, what happened? They
turned him into Ilah.
Waqala tilyahudu.
What
was the They said that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is holy trinity. They pushed the Prophet
salallahu, Isa Alaihi Wasallam up.
Now, Allah Sathani.
Is that right, Muhammad? Yes. Amal Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala commanded with unity in the
religion.
And he also prohibited
being disunited.
And
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is messenger.
That Allah azza wa Jal clarify this in
a very clear manner.
Even the common folk. The guy who walks
on the street, who has no relation to
seek a knowledge. He understands
it. And he prohibited us to be from
those who just became disunited. And they started
differing amongst themselves, and because of that they
became destroyed.
And also Allah
mentioned that he commanded the Muslims to unite,
and to stay away from
and that which even makes this more
clear.
That which came in the sunnah makes it
even more clear.
And then the Sheikh is saying that that
which brings amazement
and makes a person astonished is
that splitting and becoming disunited
in the fundamentals
and the sub branches of the religion. This
is truly ill and understanding in the region.
And the one who actually calls to the
right understanding of istima
uniting
in the religion, the only one who says
is a person who is a Zindik,
a disbeliever or a person who is majnun,
person who is mad.
Brothers and sisters,
unity in the religion
and staying away from differing and becoming disunited.
Going to try and summarize this as quickly
as possible in the next 10 minutes.
There's countless verses in the Quran brothers and
sisters that command us to be united.
Allah says in the Quran,
do not be like the policies.
Those who became disunited in the religion, and
they started
differing and disuniting.
Are you with me brothers and sisters? They
became different groups. Shia and his different groups.
Allah
says,
Those who split
and became disunited amongst themselves,
You Rasoolullah, you have nothing of them.
Also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says in
another Ayah,
That you become united,
and you don't
split and become disunited amongst one another.
So there's many different ayat and hadith. Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, hadith be hurrayrah
Allah likes for you 3 things,
and he hates for you
another 3 things.
One of the things that Allah likes for
you is,
That you hold fast to the rope of
Allah and don't become disunited.
Do not be like those who became disunited
and they differed
after
the proofs and evidences came to them. Wawlaikalam
Adabun A'lim.
Brothers and sisters, what is the correct understanding
of
unity?
What is the correct understanding of unity?
Sheikh Abdul Hakim's son, who is sitting at
her back and leaning. Come here.
I don't know your name, but I know
your father. He's a very respectable individual.
You want to go for a nap?
Come forward. Come forward.
Taib.
What is the correct understanding of Alaihtisaam
holding on to the rope of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, unity and not being disunited.
Because we find this speech all the time
on social media, and it's important that we
put in the correct context and we don't
just take one thing and leave the other.
If I taught me,
Allah
says, you believe in some parts of the
book, and then you disbelieve in the other.
Rather we should enter into the religion,
enter into religion wholeheartedly. Don't just take one
and leave something else, but rather come with
it all and get the proofs and evidences
and then derive a ruling from it.
When we look at that verse, brothers and
sisters,
And you will understand from this lesson, brothers
and sisters, who is actually trying to unite
and who
doesn't understand the correct concept of unity and
disunity.
This
statement, hold fast to the rope of Allah
and do not become disunited. There's a hadith
that explains it. We know the first way
to explain the Quran is what? Tafsirul Qur'an.
Some parts of the Quran explain the other
part. The second step is what?
Tafsirasunatilulquran.
To get a hadith and explain the Quran
with it. So we have a hadith of
Abdulrahima Sirud.
He said, commenting on this hadith. I am
sorry.
This Quran is the rope of Allah.
And it is the clear light of Allah
It is also the cure that is beneficial.
Whoever holds onto it will be protected.
And it is
a naja, salvation for anybody that follows it.
So I advise you brothers, when you hear
this all the time, try and advise the
individual to take you with this hadith.
One side of this rope, brothers and sisters,
is the habal. This rope is the Quran.
In Hadal Quran w hablullahal Mateen.
Uniting upon the religion of Allah
is to hold on to the Quran.
To make your religion the Quran and you
understand it upon whose understanding.
Mine, my uncle, my Sheikh, by the understanding
of the Sahaba,
who lived with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
So we can only unite,
if you decide to open that book,
upon the understanding of who? The companions of
the 1, Allah, Allah, Allah, Him. Salifa Salihim.
The 3 golden generations.
And is becoming disunited in all cases mad
mum something disliked?
You know brothers and sisters, if you look
at the dua of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam,
he could have easily united
with
the mushrikeen.
Not to rock the boat
without causing a fitna. He could have just
come and just made everybody happy
because they came to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam as Ibn Abbas mentions pay attention
to this hadith.
They promised the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
to give him money.
Money sometimes talks brothers.
Money talks.
It'll change a person.
You offer him money and he has a
lot of knowledge and this is how the
hisbiz operate.
They see a guy is very, very knowledgeable,
they want to keep him in their back
pocket,
they want to kind of like own him
just so he doesn't speak about certain things
And he pushes certain agendas so they kind
of bring him with money. And he happens
to Sheikh sometimes as well.
So fitna because we know in a man
is fitna, right?
2 fitners that is very great upon men.
When he sees a woman his mind blows
away.
It's a fitna for him. And also you
give him money another fitna for him.
So they tried to offer the Prophet Sallallahu
Alaihi wa Salamullahi wa Salamullahi wa
Salamullahi
makkah.
And they ready to make him the richest
guy in Mecca.
And they would marry him off with any
woman that he wanted.
That's a big offer on the table now.
That's no joke brothers and sisters.
Guys love 2 things.
They love women
and what else? They love money. Wakes up
in the morning, thinks about how much money
he's going to make.
And the wife is all. That guy would
love.
I'm sure some sisters are gonna be sitting
in the, women's section, you know, thinking to
themselves that oh, my husband only loves me.
He doesn't want anyone.
Every guy would love to have 4 wives.
He would love it
but he's just you know he's just scared
he doesn't want to make you angry.
Fakalullah
Hosallahu Alaihi said to him.
This is for you You Rasool Allah. But
just one thing, stay away
from speaking
ill about our gods.
And that's how the Hezbollah operates as well.
He says to Yahhi, don't speak about our
bidah.
Don't speak about it either. We'll give you
whatever you want because they know this guy
is powerful with his speech.
Don't mention anything bad about it.
If you disagree we'll give you another offer.
Like it is for you.
And we have benefits out of this.
So he asked them, what what is this?
He
said
You worship my gods, our gods,
those are many in Surtenesh.
And we're going to worship your God as
well for 1 year.
Are you with me brothers and sisters?
Surah prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
Wait till I see what comes down from
my Lord.
The wahi came from the preserved tablet.
So
Surat Al Kafirun came down. Say to them,
oh Muhammad, oh disbelievers,
I will not worship what you worship.
Also the statement of Allah, Are
you gonna command me now to worship other
than Allah azza wa jal? Oh people who
are ignorant.
And this is exactly, brothers and sisters,
what is happening today.
Even though it might not be with these
exact phrases and words, and I'll tell you
why.
People are saying, Acha, you do your thing.
Let us do our thing. Don't speak about
us. They're busy going around signing packs.
Nobody speak about anybody. So that guy is
committing shirk and you want me to be
silent
and he's
deviating. All these people are following him.
Recently, a very well known public speaker. I
don't need to mention his name because he's
already very well known on what happened.
When he came back from Medina,
he was
clarifying
the shirk of another very famous speaker.
This is another famous speaker in America,
very well known.
So he used to say, don't follow him.
Why? Because he calls to Alistairatha
and he calls to shirk and so on
and so forth.
This is the early stages of the dua.
He spent 10 years in Al Madinah. He
comes back.
Time and time goes around and becomes a
bit more liberalized.
Now all of a sudden what happens? He
writes a whole Facebook post saying, I apologize
for some of the things that I said
about him and some of the things that
I warned against him.
You're apologizing
for the shirk and the bidat that you
warned against.
You are apologizing
because the guy he called to shirk, and
you said, guys, this is shirk. Don't follow
it.
If you insulted him or you spoke about
his honor, and you spoke about his air,
good. Apologize. That's great.
Say I am sorry for what I said
about your personality, but this is Deen.
This is religion.
How are you going to apologize
for rebuking somebody's shirk and bida?
This is exactly what is happening. Brothers and
sisters, some people would wish that certain individuals
don't speak about shirk and bida.
Just so everybody could be united. How can
the people be united?
When this guy is calling to grave worshiping,
and this guy is saying go to a
cave. 2 opposite, they don't go to one
another.
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Look what
they said about the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. They said,
Muhammad came and he split between the people.
Muhammad came and he split between the people.
They used to,
repeat this all the time.
The prophet could have easily accepted his offer.
Right? But he carried on calling to out
to hate until there was no fitna.
And he carried on and he carried on
and he carried on. And brothers and sisters,
wullahi, the only way that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is going to remove The problems that
we have in our ummatrah is to unite.
But unite upon what? You do your bida
and you do your shirk.
This again goes all the nonsense that we
just went through.
The prophet clearly told us simple terms.
Some people, they say, oh, no, we should
be more involved in politics.
When you go to a doctor, that might
be, you know, something that helps the situation
sometimes.
Or maybe we need to take part in
elections or maybe we need to do this.
These are things that might assist.
When you go to a doctor and he
has paracetamol, and then he has something else,
and they have something else,
Is he going to give you paracetamol if
he knows that the other medicine is a
better cure for you?
Which one's gonna give you paracetamol or the
better cure?
The better one. Right? Because it's going to
have the biggest effect on you. And the
prophet clearly told us
how the situation Look what's happening in Palestine
right now, right now. I saw a video
just in the break.
Someone's praying in Palestine.
A police comes and he kicks him.
While he's in his prayer,
do you know brother said 1,600,000,000
Muslims we are, and we can't do anything.
That's how sad the situation is. We as
Muslims,
the fastest growing
religion
in the world, as they say,
and still we can't do anything.
Why? The prophet clearly told us, he said,
Once you start dealing with riba. Riba is
what? Minusin, major sin kufr. What is it?
Major sin.
And you start chasing after the dunya.
You start chasing after the tails of cows.
Chasing the dunya.
And you become satisfied. You've got land. You've
got this from the dunya, and so on
and so forth. And you leave of jihad.
Jihad is part of our religion. I'm not
going to be apologetic
about what is mentioned in the Quran, but
I'm also going to say that what ISIS
are doing, this is not jihad.
It's part of our religion.
And there's a time and a place,
and shur'ut and conditions that jihad takes place.
It's part of our religion, and you leave
this off.
Allah will send a humiliation on you, and
he won't remove this humiliation
until you come back to religion.
Earlier I asked the brothers, what is riba?
You said major sin, right? And the prophet
told us when there's a major sin spread,
what if there is something that is greater
than that spread in the community?
What is more greater than that? Sheikh.
We hear every week on the mimbar, it
become like a broken record.
The worst of the affairs is Bida.
Every week we hear on the mimbar.
So Bida is worse than that.
It's a type
of something that has been innovated in religion.
Right? These things that the people do.
That's why it's spread in the community. So
don't you think that's more of a reason
that Allah won't remove the humiliation that the
Muslim woman is going through?
I don't understand why it's so difficult to
understand that.
They have tried for years.
Protesting, after protesting, after protesting.
Everybody goes to the embassy and they're shouting.
Every type of political means has been tried.
For years, people have tried to get into
parliament. Is the situation of the Muslim ummah
getting better or worse?
It's getting worse. 1,600,000,000
people, they can't do anything about what's going
on in Palestine.
We're being humiliated.
Syria, nobody could do anything about it.
Wallahi brothers, that's sad. That's really sad.
And then the moment you won against Bida
and Shirk, people are saying to akhir, you're
splitting the ummah.
You now know there's brothers who never used
to speak about these things. The moment he
spoke about Tawhid and Bida, these are controversial
issues.
These is today what causes controversy. People stop
liking him. People stop following him.
This is what happens. If I if you
want brother and sister, I'll teach you a
lot.
How to gain a lot of followers, social
media.
Just speak about what everybody likes. Don't speak
about bida. Don't speak about shirk. Don't speak
about tuhid. Don't speak about major sins. Just
talk about something that's going to soften the
people's hearts. Rainbows and bunny rabbits, speak about
that.
Everybody's going to follow you. You're gonna get
1,000 and millions of followers cause you're not
rocking the boat. Every sector is listening to
you.
Are you now with me, brothers and sisters?
So taking the good from every
I've
gone over the time limit.
I'll mention one last hadith
Look at the Prophet reaction, pertaining
Prophet one time entered upon a group of
companions who were sitting there,
and they were speaking about Masa'il Qadr. Didn't
Allah say this? Didn't Allah say that?
Abu Hurayin another narration
said, we were disputing about the Aqeedah. Aqeedah
Qadr. So Aqeedah matter.
So the prophet got angry on his face,
went red like a pomegranate.
So he said,
were you not commanded with this?
And was this the reason
I was sent to you
to get the verses and start hitting it
with one another.
The people before you, they were destroyed because
of this. It was narrated by my Muhammad.
Look at this hadith. Look how upset the
prophet came because they were disputing about Masa'il
Al Khadr.
And he told them, you're gonna be destroyed
the moment you start differing on these issues,
and you start getting verses and hitting it
with one another. Isn't that what's happening today?
How can we be silent
and be content about a person
messing around with the akhida?
Habad ibn al Simeen, look brothers and sisters
to the parents.
Ubad ibn al Simeen, look who is cheating
his kid from a very young age, from
a very young age.
He said,
Allah created the first thing with a pen,
told them to write everything that's going to
happen to qiyamasa'a. Then he says to his
child,
Oh son, if you die and you're not
upon this aqidah, you're going to be from
the people of the fire.
That's a companion. He's teaching his kids from
a very young age. Al aqeedah.
Have a 10 minute break and then we'll
be back for the next segment, Biyini Allayahu
Wa Ta'ala.
