Abu Taymiyyah – What Every Muslim Must Know Before Ramadhan
AI: Summary ©
AI: Transcript ©
This is going to be a lecture,
but I got very tired of lectures.
I really got very, very tired of lectures
already. I've only been here for a week.
That which I see to be much more
beneficial
is to discuss that which is going to
perfect our acts of worship.
The way I look at lectures is like
paracetamol.
When you are sick
and you have paracetamol,
what does that do, guys?
It's a quick fix.
It is a
quick fix.
You might have some underlining issues. Like, for
example, myself,
I've been having these underlining stomach problems for
a very, very long time.
Very long time.
I think 3 Ramallah's in a row, I
did not complete
fasting 30 days.
I'm still making it up right now
because of my stomach problems.
I went to the GP, the general practitioner,
and they gave me something called
entrepreneur
or something like that.
What this would do is it would remove
the pain,
the pain that I was experiencing in the
month of Ramadan.
However, it would keep on coming back.
It would keep on coming back.
All the way up until when I was
in Egypt,
my appendix burst, and I got rushed into
hospital.
I really thought I was going to die.
I was on my deathbed.
Because of these underlying issues that weren't treated
accordingly.
Last Ramadan, I only fasted 5 days.
5 days only
because of the appendix bursting, stomach issues, and
so on and so forth. Why am I
mentioning all of this?
These
quick fixes that we have,
like paracetamol,
the lectures what the lecture does is it
increases your
You walk out feeling,
That was such a great lecture.
My iman went up. And then why is
it that sometimes our iman
just keeps going down again?
That is simply because
we
are not taking the treatment
that keeps our iman
stable.
It's as simple as that.
That's why you need lessons.
You need to keep learning, attending gatherings
where you better your relationship with Allah
Every single one of us has been placed
on the face of this Earth for one
reason.
What is that one reason?
No. I did not create the jinn and
the ills except
to worship me
alone. Our sole reason of existence is for
that one purpose,
to worship Allah
And can you worship Allah
accordingly without knowledge?
Wallahi, you can't. Otherwise, we're going to become
like Christians.
The Christians
who worship Allah
with ignorance.
They're misguided
upon ignorance.
This is why you find
the church,
every now and again, they have something new.
The rules and regulations just keep on changing.
Why?
Ignorance.
Misguided individuals.
You see?
That's why it's extremely important that we learn
the deen of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
These lectures are great. Don't get me wrong.
He ups your email, and you need it
from time to time. But the studies,
continuous ones,
that's what you need.
Our sole purpose is what? Remember that.
Not going to university
or working,
that's not why you've been created. Not that
I'm saying you shouldn't do that. I'm not
against doing any of the things that I
just mentioned.
I myself was doing civil engineering in Loughborough
University.
However, brothers
and sisters,
if you graduate from university, how old are
you normally?
21?
22?
Bilahi Aaliq. I ask you about Allah
The age of 21, 22,
and then you pass away.
What on Earth is that certificate going to
do for you?
Is it going to enter into your grave?
And I reiterate it. I am not against
getting an education.
If anything, I encourage it.
However,
you study about Pythagoras' theorem and condensation,
alliteration,
evaporation,
and all that stuff,
but then you don't know the basis of
your religion.
And
unfair brothers
and sisters,
the majority of our life just goes towards
that.
In the last year and a half, brothers
and sisters,
I see a lot of brothers
the age of I think everybody, well, mostly,
are under the age of 25.
Some elders,
old in age. And the majority under the
age of 25.
Just in the last
year and I should let me just say
the last 2 years.
I have lost 3
young relatives,
all under the age of 24.
Those who may have been having iftar with
me,
last Ramadan, or the Ramadan before that
will not be having Iftar.
There's going to be a hole in that
setting.
There's going to be a gap there,
and that is because they are no longer
with us.
Just to show you, brothers and sisters,
that death does not discriminate
between the different ages. It doesn't.
One of them was my younger brother at
the age of 24,
stabbed in the neck in Leicester.
Couple of months after that was who? A
cousin of mine. Car crash, age of 23.
I buried both of them with my two
hands. I did the reminder at their graves.
Young in age.
The third one, brothers
and sisters,
I was told about him when I went
back to study in Al Madinah.
I happened to be doing umrah at the
time.
My body froze. And how old he was?
18 years of age.
You know what happened? Stabbed in the chest
in broad daylight
on one of the most busiest roads in
Birmingham,
Coventry
Road,
small Heath.
It's for the shift.
Just I'm very sorry to do this.
But I'm very sorry to do this, but
and t
t 12,
I y, please.
And, brother, please, you have blocked the entrance
for the main entrance for the PR for
the.
And the other one is
l o 18,
o d y.
There's 2 guys who wanted to go. Please.
Please. If you know you blocked someone, shall
I pull it yourself? You shall move your
card. The first one
is t12i
I y u s,
and the other one
is please. If you have those cars, please
move your car.
I'm mentioning this brothers and sisters not that
you feel sorry for me. No. The messenger
told us, whatever.
It is sufficient
that death is a reminder for you.
Somebody passing away is a reminder
for us to really pick ourselves up and
to do something about ourselves.
Don't expect, oh, 78 years old, that's when
I'm going to pass away.
Well, now you have no guarantee.
Absolutely no guarantee.
Couple of years ago, I've done a Khutba
about Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer.
I think everybody knows him. Right?
So, hey.
I know some of you guys are still
young.
It was like the maybe this is a
wrong comparison. Anthony Joshua.
There's no comparison between them
of this time.
He was a renowned world champion.
He died just before the month of Ramadan.
Just before the month of Ramadan.
He didn't have the opportunity to breathe in
the month of Ramadan.
Wullahi didn't have the opportunity.
And many people in the last year or
2 with this COVID, they passed away just
before the month of
4th month of
Ramadan.
As I mentioned, brothers,
these 3 young relatives that I had all
under the age of 24,
they left and departed from this world.
2 of them stopped, the other one in
a car crash.
The reality is what kind of legacy are
you leaving behind? What are you studying?
What are you doing in order to better
your relationship with Allah
as a statement of Ibrahim
He says,
And it was said to the people of
the Khubur, the grave, make a wish. You
know what that wish would be?
It would wish to have another day in
the month of Ramadan. Another day in the
month of
Subhanahu, I always wondered why why did you
say that?
And one time I came across a statement
with Ibrahim Al Nakai when he said,
someone fear Ramadan,
Abu Dhulmein al Faisalmi tima sawa. See what?
One day that you fast in a month
of Ramadan is better than a 1,000 fast
outside the month of Ramadan.
One prayer in the month of Ramadan, one
rakat
is better than a 1,000 rakat outside the
month of Ramadan.
And in order for us to really
take optimum and maximum benefit
from the month of Ramadan, we need to
know
how to do that. Are they scattered?
We need to know how to do that.
And you cannot do that, my brothers and
my sisters, except by study.
Always remember this. If you don't take anything
away from this lecture, other than there's one
thing I'm about to say, because that will
help you, inshallah, always come back.
Is it fair
that you spend
so many hours a day, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12
at times, even more than that.
Learning about mathematics, English, science, the Pythagoras theorem,
and the the the periodic table.
C 2 o, h 2 o, you've got
it. Memorize inside out.
But then the deen of Allah
I barely give it anytime.
Is that really fair?
And then I might be
from the growing list of brothers
and sisters who have passed away at the
age of
18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
Our Sheikh,
bless him and preserve him. He said,
It is upon the Abd
to learn the akham,
the rulings pertaining to that which he's embarking
upon
so that he's able to establish it properly
in the most complete way.
You know the hadith that we hear all
the time? When the messenger Salahi was telling
me, said,
Who can
Who can tell me the meaning of that
hadith?
And that which is apparent in the
Who can give you a translation?
Just translate the beginning part for me.
Because you have the other hadith
of
who have a fast in the month of
Ramadan with
iman.
He believes
in the reward that Allah is waiting for
him.
Hoping for the face of Allah does it
sincerely. His past sins will be forgiven
That's whoever fast. And then there's another hadith
that's very similar to it that states,
Whoever
Whoever?
Go to praise. Right?
Does everybody agree? And that's right. It's correct.
You know what another meaning that Sheikh Alissam
Taymiy Ahmedullah hailed?
If I say now in Arabic,
What does that mean?
I believe this act. Yeah. He carried out
this act.
The
meaning that he favored was whoever walks into
the month of Ramadan,
and he carries it out the way it
should.
With iman and iqdisab, his passing will be
forgiven.
This is the view that Ibrahim Rahman Tullahi
failed. Even though what our brother mentioned is
sahih,
but you could also understand it like that.
What does that show us? You
must
learn the
of Assiyan before
doing
the act of worship.
What does the poet say?
It is haram for 1 to embark upon
doing an act of worship,
and he doesn't know his. Some people, they
buy and sell, sir.
He's a big investor. Bitcoin this, Bitcoin that.
I don't know how well Bitcoin is doing,
but last time I heard, he went down
into the ground.
So, hey, how's your day now?
Something went up.
Is it alright?
Forex trade and this and that and investing
in this, investing in that,
stock exchange, and so on and so forth.
Allahi, brothers and sisters, you'll be surprised.
How many of them even know what they're
doing?
The amount of haram that he's falling into,
the war that he's waging with Allah
What was the land of poverty that I
just mentioned?
It's haram for you to go do something,
and you don't know it's a kam.
You must know there are certain types of
knowledge, brother,
that you must learn. It is mandatory upon
everyone,
and that is because you find yourself involved
in it.
Like tahara, siyam, and and then salah,
fasting, praying. Isn't that something that everybody does?
Everybody does that.
So you must go out, at least learn
the things that is mandatory upon you because
you are involved in it. However, Hajj, I
wouldn't say to you, you must learn it
now until it becomes mandatory upon you.
Either you learn it properly or you go
with somebody who's gonna guide you a to
z.
Every Ramadan,
I receive messages of brother saying, well, I
I,
I heard that
me having sexual * with my wife in
the month of Ramadan
is not allowed. I didn't know that, though.
You ask him, how many times did you
do it? He goes,
Every other
night, in the month of Ramadan.
They're taking it lightly,
doing zina in the month of Ramadan,
and he doesn't know
how much
of a serious thing this is.
Every single Ramadan, I receive questions.
Oh, I committed, you know, or I feel
like this. And
And a lot of it goes back to
what Jan
and some say, I knew it was wrong,
but I didn't know the explanation.
No. No. No
excuse.
He knows it's wrong, but he doesn't know
the expiration. What's the expiration?
Man came to the prophet and said, oh,
messenger of Allah, I've destroyed myself.
And in some narration, I've burnt myself, meaning
I've burnt myself in hellfire. So So the
messenger asked him, what did you do?
He said,
I had 6 students close in my life.
You have that which
you can free a slave with
And the sec third thing he said to
him,
Are you able to pass 2 months in
a row?
It's pretty serious.
First thing that I'm going to discuss is
No.
No. No. Ramadan.
I've always thought about what Ramadan is. What
does it mean?
Tell them, Ajamal. Don't be shy. It's it's
okay to to to get it wrong.
What is the meaning of Ramadan?
To abstain.
To abstain.
Is that what
means or Ramadan?
Taib. Anyone else?
Scholars, they say,
When the throat of an individual
becomes hot
and
because of him
being extremely thirsty.
You look at the root letters, Ramallah,
and something intensifies.
Right? And it becomes extremely hot.
That's why you find hadith.
The salat of the.
Which salat are we referring to here?
The
best time to pray it is when it
becomes extremely hot on the ground.
That even a camel can't sit down.
Say,
it comes from
something intensifying or becoming extremely, extremely hot.
And Ramadan, when we fast, that's what it
does to pass and throats.
Also,
he says,
Ramadan
It was only called Ramadan because it burns
your sins.
It burns, I e, it removes it.
These are some of the
meanings that I mentioned. That brings me on
to another important point,
leaving or fasting.
I feel like
leaving or fasting is not discussed enough.
Again, especially on a hot summer day,
find a lot of brothers and sisters. I
feel like it's become
more widespread than the pandemic.
Again, common question.
Oh, what happens if someone just decides to
break it because it's hot?
Oh, it's long hours. I'm just gonna fast
outside the month of Ramadan.
As time goes on,
this is not surprising my brothers and my
sisters to receive these kind of questions.
From the signs of the hour is that
becomes extremely scarce.
It lessens as time goes on,
and ignorance becomes so widespread.
And
Zina becomes so prevalent as well. Do you
guys agree?
Forget about men and women doing things together
outside of marriage.
We got rainbows.
We got rainbows flying high.
One time my auntie was at home, and
she had sandals.
And just, you know, the top part like
that, top of the sandal, had rainbow colors.
Allah made me feel uncomfortable.
The evil, subhanahu wa'ala, creation of Allah now,
this is what he's done to us.
Because the house has been misused.
Find even what? A zebra crossing has been
turned into rainbow colors.
If
Muslims are not engaging it, but what's happening
is,
they're becoming desensitized to it.
Would you guys agree
with that? Feeling extremely,
extremely
apologetic and empathetic and sympathetic and
to those who might be engaging in that.
What did they miss in somebody else and
say?
That which I fear for you the most
is the actions of
people of the Lord. I'm
just quoting what the messes Saladin has said.
I'm just quoting.
As long as I'm quoting,
I don't think I I can get into
trouble with
that.
Ramadan.
What is the ruling of the one who
leaves the fasting in the month of Ramadan?
Do you guys think? Minus sin, major sin,
disbelief?
Major
sin or minus sin? Oh, it's just an.
Major sin.
Whoever leaves or whoever breaks his fast
in the month of Ramadan
without an excuse,
then him doing so has led him to
the major sins.
I found the statement that, remember,
as even more serious than
that. Shook me when I read it. You
know what he said?
The one who breaks his fast in the
month of Ramadan without an excuse, he's worse
than
someone who came as Zina.
And also somebody who's addicted to
Al Khamah, alcohol.
You laugh, Saha, when that guy is just
dropping left and right.
He's just falling
left, right, and center.
Fine.
Funny. Okay then.
On his break in his fast words and
that
I heard the messenger
say,
when I was sleeping, 2 men came to
me, and they took me by my sides.
They were grabbing him from here, and they
took him.
And they took me to a very steep
mountain.
They told me to climb it.
Because of how steep it is, the
said, I can't. I don't have the ability
to get to the top.
So they said,
We'll make it easy for you. Don't worry.
We'll help you.
I carried on walking, walking, walking until we
reached the midpoint of it.
Either
began to hear some very, very
severe
sounds.
What are these noises?
These are the screams and the cries of
the people of the hellfire.
Said they took me, and I came across
certain individuals
who had their uncles chained.
And the corner of their mouths were torn.
And blood was pouring out of it.
Who are they? I said.
They are the ones
who break their fast
before
a time has kicked in.
Say that again. They're the ones who break
their fast
before the time has kicked in.
Just a minute ago, I was speaking about
not fasting or leaving over the fasting without
an.
How does this hadith come in relevance to
that?
I'll tell you guys.
If this is the punishment for the one
who breaks it
before it's time, then how about the person
that doesn't even fast
or decides not to fast
or takes the matter extremely lightly?
Takes the matter extremely, extremely lightly.
Second thing is mama and a song.
What does mean?
Alimsak.
Has a and he also has a technical
meaning. The
the linguistic meaning is what
to withhold from something.
If I say to you, you need to
do
or siam from
your phone.
What does that mean?
They need to abstain from it. They need
to withhold from it.
And then you have the technical meaning. But
before we go into the technical meaning,
every single one of us needs to act
upon
the linguistic meaning, especially in today's day and
age.
Again, I feel like that this is not
discussed
enough.
One of the things my brothers and my
sister, unfortunately, I have to say this, and
I don't know the Al Muhiib. I don't
know the unseen. But I'm sure most of
you will agree with me
that from the things that are going to
destroy,
our Ramadan is what?
Our phones.
And inside brothers, to withhold
in the month of Ramadan is 2 things.
Things that we need to withhold from are
of 2 types.
Number 1, that which is
going to nullify
our fast.
If you were to fall into it, then
you would have to repeat that that that
that that date.
And, of course, these are the obvious things,
like
like what?
Food, drinks, sexual *. And according to the
Hanabila,
hijama,
the majority of the scholars, they say it
doesn't.
Right?
And many other things as well.
I think most of you guys are.
Like,
And then you have another type. And this
is why I really wanna stand over, brothers.
Spiritual side of what one needs to stay
away from.
That which is going to reduce
your fast.
And again, it's not discussed enough.
2 things we mentioned, That which is going
to what? Nullify your fasting, that which is
going to reduce it.
And this, perhaps, my brothers and my sisters,
is the real
type of fasting,
That which we are really
trying to gain for the month of Ramadan.
When you do fast, and make sure your
ears are fasting as well.
Make sure your eyes are fasting. Make sure
your tongue is fasting from what? An intelligent,
from lying and all sorts of things.
Your ears, what you listen to, music, haram.
And not just music. A lot of time,
we talk about you need to safeguard your
ear.
That which rushes the mind as what?
Music.
Now also from
what? Backbiting,
slander.
These videos that we watch that have people
swearing and talking profanity,
All of that needs to be stayed away
from.
Allah is not in need of you leaving
off your food and your drink.
He's not.
Allah is not leaving off,
Ill talk and also acting upon it.
May Allah Azzawajal
will put these individuals to the side.
Turn away from him.
So that which you what?
Listen with listen to. Second thing now, Jabri
Amdila mentioned
was
your eyes.
You know, a lot of these Zina cases
that we come across, especially in the month
of Ramadan, you know how it started?
Take a guess, brothers.
How do you think it started?
Imagine he's falling into zina in the month
of Ramadan
with a woman that he didn't know prior
to Ramadan.
How do you think it started, brother?
Social media.
More specifically, Instagram.
But now I'm sure
TikTok is playing a big part in that
as well.
I always say this. Right? And I've said
it before.
I really do not believe someone who believes
in line in a line, the last day
should have TikTok.
We don't put TikTok in the same categories,
Instagram, what I Snapchat,
and
Twitter. Because it's an app that was created
for 1 to record himself,
wriggling his body
with music playing in the background. Would you
guys agree?
That's the reason as to why it was
created.
So he sees this sister or this girl
on social media, especially on Instagram
or any of these other social media apps.
And then before you know it, he's slipping
into a DM.
Some guys say I was giving a dua.
Allah, she ended up giving you dua.
You didn't give a dua. She gave you
dua.
That's how it starts. What did the mister
Allah The
of the twice is what?
Looking
more than just the first
glance.
And then zena with the tongue is what?
Talking,
as some of you may say, chapsing. I
know you guys still use it. It was
out of date.
It's a little bit
old school. Guess who say?
What's the other word?
Checking.
Everyone still says it.
I think he said *.
I understand.
That's how it starts. That's already yours. You've
entered into a process of Zena.
And then before you know it, they've fallen
into the unexpected,
which is what?
A Zina.
Are you brothers and sisters with me?
We need to do so from what?
From our phones.
And then
what
he and your tongue as well.
One of the that I gave last week
was, is about April Fools' Day,
1 week before Ramadan.
You'd normally expect,
That the khatib is going to speak about
Ramadan and getting prepared for Ramadan.
What's the relevance between April Fool's Day and
also
the month of Ramadan?
They're in the same month. Anything other than
that?
Lying. Lying. I think you watched the lecture.
Do you know brothers and sisters? Right?
It may be a possibility that one enters
into the month of Ramadan, and he's not
even a Muslim
because of April fools day.
Who can tell me
how?
An example
where one could actually strip his own self
of iman.
Before the month of Ramadan,
joking and mocking,
ridiculing the Deen of Allah, Azza wa Jal.
I mentioned
6 conditions
yesterday in the lecture, and likewise in the
Khubba on Friday.
Will speak about joking, and April Fools Day
in Masjid Farhan Hounslow,
next Thursday inshallah.
Was the messian a moody, gloomy,
dejected,
despondent individual,
or was he somebody who used to smile
and laugh and maybe even joke
with his companions, somebody who was bubbly?
Was he that? Was he not?
Mention ample of examples next week Thursday,
with also the conditions.
But one of them brothers
and sisters
mocking the deen of Allah
that has become such a norm, You find
memes, right, going around,
especially on TikTok.
I ask Allah, Azza wa Jal, to close
down this application.
I really do.
It's nothing but shut up on the Muslim
Ummah.
Especially on that, before it was Instagram, he
used to go around used to go around.
I know what the sad thing is, practicing
people are seeing these videos,
spectating to it with laughter.
We find it funny.
Every month, there's a video that goes round
of,
I don't know, the Indonesians or Malaysians.
Right?
And they're probably doing this today, you know,
believing again closer to Allah
And then somebody comments and he says,
You guys come across the video before?
He's playing so quickly up and down, up
and down, up and down, up and down.
He might finish 11 raka'at in less than
2 minutes.
And I'm practicing Muslims
who pray their salawat
are looking at this laughing and joking. Oh,
Walaaf.
How
funny. How is that funny?
I
mean,
from the greatest acts of worship.
And many scholars say it's the bare minimum
that keeps you in Al Islam.
Bare minimum.
After the shahada, you have to come at
least with salah.
If you don't wear hijab,
if you don't fast, if you don't go
for Hajj, and you die upon that, maybe
there's a possibility that Allah will forgive you.
However, with the salah
because the prophet salah is the
The difference between us and them and the
salah. Whoever lives in the salah, he is
a kakhr.
Gal.
He's not a Muslim.
There's no difference between Muhammad who doesn't pray
and Michael and Bob and Jane and Juliet.
According to many scholars. You ask some of
the scholars today,
They will say, this guy is not a
Muslim. Don't pray on him.
This is a huge view that is out
there, favored by many of the scholars, like
an Imam Ahmed,
and other than him.
Because the prophet said the difference between us
and them. Who's them? The agnostic,
the atheist,
the, Buddhist, the Jew.
The difference between us and them is a
salah.
The Sahaba, if they saw a woman not
wearing hijab, they said, oh, maybe she's new
Muslim. If they saw someone not going for
Hajj, maybe he's poor. He doesn't have any
money. If he wasn't fasting, oh, maybe he's
ill.
They had excuses. They had personal run
for the believer.
But when it came to the salah, it
wasn't like that.
What did they say?
That's how the Sahaba, they saw it. Abu
Lai'b al Shirkh al Aqayliyah Uluhani translates this.
Who met the companions?
Reason why I was extremely passionate about this
topic,
right, is because
it's like
today people believe that you can't joke unless
you lie.
Just yesterday,
Umashallah knows the tenurquraj from Manchester. I was
telling you this. He was advising his little
sister, telling her, shouldn't joke like that. And
she was saying,
Emma, but you can't joke without light.
Many, many years ago, I remember a relative
came up to me and he said,
your grandmother fell off the balcony.
How do you think that's gonna make me
react?
I'll be in a state of shock, sir.
And then he says to me, April fools'
day, and he runs off.
And he runs off.
Is
this permissible?
Today on TikTok, you'll see
children making jokes of their parents, Nelson Rock,
and he's recording them.
He's calling his parents, then he puts on
social media.
Ajib,
Where are you going?
Or just shocking people.
Maybe while he's sleeping, he comes and takes
water, and he slaps in his face.
And we as Muslims who might not do
this, we are what spectating, sending around.
The Shahid, we mentioning this. It was the
first point, mocking the deen of Allah as
a wajid.
You might mock the deen of Allah as
a wajid on the 1st April,
and you're walking to Taraweeh because it could
be Ramadan on the 2nd April. You're
walking to Taraweeh, Allahu Alam, if this person
is a Muslim or not.
What is my evidence for saying that mocking
the deen of Allah
Even if you're joking, we'll take care of
the father of Islam. Allah says in the
Quran, if you ask them,
You
ask them,
Why they were doing this or why they
were uttering this? They will say we're only
playing, joking,
having a laugh, making the time go by
or past.
He made jokes about Allah. He ridiculed the
deen, the ayat,
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam. Later, I tell you, don't no
no excuses.
No excuses.
Don't tell me you were joking or playing
around.
You have disbelieved after a man came to
you.
What time is Ishaq?
Like, are your brothers with me
and sisters?
So there are 2 things that one needs
to abstain from.
When you look at the technical meaning, what
does it say?
To withhold from something specific,
food, drink, sexual *, that which breaks your
fast.
And not only that,
staying away from the things that is going
to reduce
that which you attained from the month of,
Ramadan of rewards.
He's a man in Maqsus and also a
specific time, because you don't fast for 24
hours. From what? Fajr all the way up
until
Maghreb.
B'naiit al Mahsou san also have a specific
intention.
I have to make an intention
every night, according to the majority of the
scholars,
and it could be any part of the
night starting from Maghrib all the way up
until Fajr.
And as if mutin mentions just merely thinking
about
it, that you wanna be fasting that it
just passes through, halas.
That's enough.
Also from a specific person.
Know what's also a very common question is?
I didn't know,
that I needed to fast. Do I should
I make it up now?
Young brothers, young brothers, mashallah. The fact that
they're asking the question shows that I got.
Because, well, I didn't know I was still
the age of 14.
What are some of the signs
that you've now reached the age of puberty?
Because I can see a lot of young
brothers here as well.
Manya,
Pubic
hair. Where?
In your private area.
A rough type of head that appears.
See some of you guys smiling and giggling.
Hadadeenullah.
We have to discuss
it. We have to speak about it. If
they're teaching our kids in school,
about same gender marriages, why should I be
shy of mentioning this?
Sahih.
Hadid Umusalema.
She says, Umusalem came to the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, and she said, You Rasulullah,
does a woman
need to take a hussul, a purification bath,
when she has a *?
Oh, dear.
What did you say?
Allah is not shy of the truth.
The messenger lies responded back and said,
If she's in the place, then yes, she
has to do it.
Brothers and sisters with me, so we ask
these questions.
Even Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anish said, China did
not stop them from getting an understanding of
the religion, Didn't stop them.
2 people don't learn.
The arrogant and who? Shaiwan, as Mujad ibn
Jaber mentioned.
Arrogant thing arrogant person, he thinks he knows.
Shy one is very shy to ask.
So we have to ask these questions. You
need to know, brothers
and sisters as well.
This is what is going to save you
in your grave,
And sometimes you might be personally shy.
What do you do?
You can ask somebody else to do that
for you.
Whoever is shy, and then he asked someone
else to ask on his behalf. That's exactly
what Hadid been taught
done when he had a query about some
sort of discharge that comes out of his
private part.
You guys with me?
So that was the first one.
Hair appearing,
one's private part area.
2nd one,
If they reach the age of 15,
what's it they need?
Where'd you get this number from?
Why can't it be 14?
Hi,
From that age? Saying the action might be
counted from that age.
Anyone else?
I wanna know 15 specifically.
The brother said they would normally become mature
at that age.
And today is day in age or in
the age of, the companions.
With the era of social media,
A lot of old people have become extremely
childish. Anytime,
elders
behaving like kids on TikTok.
What do we expect from the youngsters?
The older person is wriggling himself acting
all weird and
Hajid.
Is it I don't know. I think it's
the belief where
Hadith where after the age of 15, the
mother is no longer responsible for the child
of miss Salaam?
I'll give you guys
the
I was put in front of the messenger,
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, to check as to whether
I can participate in jihad at the age
of 14.
Falamya dalli fiyomi Uhud,
Batar of Uhud.
And then,
Uruja Al Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallamafi
khandaq,
which happened after the Battle of Uhud. Right?
And I reached the age of 15.
And he allowed me to participate in the
battle of Uhud.
And some narration states,
he didn't see me to have reached the
age of puberty.
Brothers with me?
So we have 2 now?
No.
What's the third one?
*.
*, Jameel.
Allah says
in
the Quran
is
that, you know, when they reach the age
of
puberty, then let them seek permission.
Sorry. Once they have their,
*
comes from the term.
Let them now seek permission.
Your brothers and sisters with me,
they what about
hair appearing on the armpit?
What do you guys think? Is that,
Ajamal.
Nah, miss.
Right?
While the battle was taking place, they would
check,
if there was
hair on the armpits of their opponents.
And if it appeared,
they would deal with them.
However, Aqiyya says,
when that happened to me, I didn't have
any hair.
They left me alone. They didn't do anything.
Of course, they became Muslim later on.
Right? So these are three signs.
And of course, the woman, she has an
extra sign as well, and the haleed,
when the menses appears.
Right? Or pregnancy, what I can that's very
no. I shouldn't say far fetched.
Remember when I was at school, we had
young girls,
coming impregnated.
Babe. How long do I have there?
You guys tired?
Can you quickly stand up in the star
jumps and sit back down?
Like,
I was going to go into travel and
things like that, but maybe I know maybe
someone's gonna ask that question. I'm going to
discuss certain points
that I think are from the common issues.
And they asked me this question yesterday in
Manchester.
Right? And I'm gonna make it interactive. I
don't like just sitting here and just delivering
in class, especially, like, to see a lot
of young brothers here.
And also because Shahab Dafitahi announced it to
be as an extra.
I'm gonna make it extremely intense
and technical.
Some of the things that are going to
break
your fast.
Some of the things are going to break
your fast.
Does looking at Haram break your fast?
I'm going to use these 2 terminals. 1,
when we say reduce the reward. Okay?
And, of course, that does looking at Haram.
However,
just looking, will it break your fast?
He said it depends. Hiya?
Intentionally?
The master looking, what happens?
Something comes up by you. Now it's getting
real.
Again, it's from the questions that we receive
from time to time. Let's speak about another.
We can maybe insha Allahu Ta'ala put into
3 different scenarios.
Number 1,
looking
continuously
at something that he shouldn't be looking at,
which then leads to
him *.
Some people say,
I didn't
do anything with myself.
Right? I just looked,
and again, it's one of those things brothers
and sisters that is the root cause,
and the root cause of it, Afaan, is
social media.
He's looking at things he shouldn't be looking
at, which then leads to that which is
far worse.
I'll call it adult content.
You see?
Adult content,
even in the month of Ramadan, he says,
I'm not
touching or not doing anything, but he fell
into looking at that. And then he ended
up, what, *?
Is my fast
still
intact or
not?
Hi, brothers.
Is this fast intact?
He kept on looking, looking, looking, looking, which
then led to that. A fast is broken.
And also you destroy the reward because
because that's the first scenario.
2nd scenario.
So what if one, so what if someone
would like? Let me look at these imagination.
Use that I'm coming to that. Coming to
that.
Don't worry. We'll measure all the scenarios.
Second scenario, brothers and sisters,
If one just looks once,
and then he releases.
This
guy's weaker. He looked once, and then he
ended up *.
Does it break his,
how long do you look for the other
day? No. He just looked at once, and
then he ended up.
I'm speaking about money here. If there's money,
it breaks his and he has to do
cover.
Some say there's as well. Jameel.
Right.
If you guys think why is the speaker
today discussing these kind of things, brothers, it's
in it says it's the books of.
And I'll say this again. If they are
teaching our kids about same gender marriages in
school, why should we shy away from these
kind of things?
Are we going to just
wait for our young brothers and sisters,
right, to keep falling into this year in,
year out, and they don't even know that
they're breaking a fast?
As it came in the hadith,
right,
Musa Allahu alayhi wa sallam drew a parable
like me and also my Ummah, Prophet
saying.
Like a man who lit a fire.
What happens when you light the fire in
a forest?
You find all the insects and the bugs,
they rush towards the sah.
Likewise, when you go to somewhere like maybe
Somalia or Yemen, where it's hot,
the mosquitoes, when they see that there is
a light inside of the house, they come
rushing towards you. And
they squeeze your blood.
Sahe?
And then, mister Morrison said,
example of me and you. You have a
man
who is throwing himself into the hellfire.
My Ummah is throwing himself in the hellfire,
and I'm holding on to your ma'wis,
your lower garment,
in order they say lungi.
Sayyid?
Imagine how the prophet
is holding on to your lower garment, and
you're running away from him, throwing yourself in
the alfa.
Think about that when we sin.
We're running towards the hellfire, and the messenger
salallahu alayhi wa sallam is holding onto us.
That's the eagerness that he had of wanting
to save his Ummah.
And then someone might say to me, why
are you discussing these topics
And wait for the people to enter into
hellfire.
That would
has to be discussed.
So that was the
first scenario. Is that sorry. The second scenario.
Does it break? No. It doesn't.
Why doesn't it?
Because the missus salallahu alayhi was saying said
when he was asked about another
the glance, the unexpected look, you're walking, you
know, you see a woman.
What did the mister Elijah say, Israf Basarakh?
Move your eyes away.
We take from that that the first glance
is.
It's been pardoned.
You guys with me?
So that doesn't break it.
However, you keep looking. Don't think you can
cheat Allah.
Don't think you can cheat Allah, Azza wa
Jal.
Allah knows the deceptive eye.
He knows the deceptive
eye, and he knows that which is hidden
in the hearts.
They deceive themselves,
or they think they they think they can
deceive Allah.
They're only what? Deceiving themselves.
Are you brothers and sisters with me?
If you think you can get away with
the creation, don't think you're gonna get away
from
Allah. The day when the secrets will become
apparent and exposed, and what you really intended
will be shown to the
people.
So now number 3.
When he's looking,
he doesn't inject a *, but all but
rather that which comes out is
something called.
Does anyone everyone have an idea what is?
Pre *. Pre *.
The fluid that comes out
when one becomes aroused
when one becomes aroused.
And that type of fluid, brothers and sisters,
is
nidjas. It is impure.
He
said
I was somebody who used to have excessive
urethral discharge
at the time of fondling with the opposite
gender with your spouse.
When one becomes aroused,
that fluid comes out, and that breaks your
law. And it also
impurifies
whatever it comes in contact with.
Just for everyone's information, inshallah.
Does it break your
fast?
What do you guys think?
He was looking and kept on looking, looking,
looking, and that came out. A * didn't
come out.
He has a problem.
He has a problem. What
What is the what is that? His desire,
lust.
According to the halal bill, it does, but
the majority, it doesn't.
The majority of the scholars, it doesn't.
And perhaps that is the stronger view, the
more favorable view, because there isn't anything in
particular that states that. That doesn't actually give
him pleasure.
What did Allah
say? He leaves the food and drink and
his shahwa
for my sake.
Food, drink, and shahwa.
When somebody now keeps staring at something,
and then he ejaculates, hasn't he fulfilled his
shahwa,
His desire?
Hasn't he relieved himself?
Do you guys agree?
Because of that, they say,
when somebody now relieves himself, whether it is
by looking
or whether it is by him touching himself,
it all breaks it.
Tayeb, the question that
our brother asked.
What if an individual is thinking about it,
sitting there, daydreaming,
just thinking, thinking, thinking,
And eventually, it comes
up.
Does it break?
But he's not uttering anything, and he's not
acting upon anything. He doesn't do anything. He's
not looking at any haram
Thoughts.
So you're saying we should hold him to
account for thinking.
You guys are saying it might go back
to the intention.
That's what I was going to mention.
Allah
has pardoned the one
who when he thinks about something, or he
talks to himself about
Hadith and Nafs.
Right?
As long as he doesn't utter it, and
he doesn't act upon it.
Your brother and sister's with me?
So because he's not not because he's not
looking at something, because he's not saying anything,
and because he's not using his hands or
whatever,
that's what the scholars they say. However, this
whole intention thing, I might have to double
check it. So intentionally
intentionally,
it's a good thing. So I'm gonna
It's a good one.
That's true. That's very true. It's very, very
true. Doesn't he end up fulfilling his desires?
It's,
type. Yeah. Name.
Type, another question.
Another question.
Question that was asked yesterday when I was
in Manchester was,
what is the extent that,
or what can a man and a
wife do with one another while they are
fasting?
What did the mister Alaihi Wasallam do?
He used to fondle with his wife.
Right? He would fondle with his wife.
I think everybody knows who that is. Right?
Or shall I translate that?
And when you play and when you get
touchy with your wife,
or
your sign, and you also used to kiss
while fasting, but he was in more control
of his lust and desires than all of
you.
There's also another narration,
One time the messenger of Prophet Muhammad started
coming towards me, and he wanted to
kiss me.
So now Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala said, I'm
fasting.
And then he said, I'm
also fasting.
Kissing me. Was romantic.
Because you need that in the house.
Right?
Jamil.
And then there's also another narration.
A man came to the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam, and he asked about
Ubayasharatiz
Zoj
fondling with the wife.
And he said, Okay. It's fine. You can
do it.
And then another man came up to him,
and he asked. He said, no.
Why is he saying here is allowed, but
there is not?
One is stronger than the other. Because one
of them is the ultimate
Hafid al Hakimi
in his poem was Siratul Khosole ilaha Muhammatul
Rasool is a 649th
poetry.
Whoever wants a more intense
manboma or hostolic studies, instead of warakat, you
can maybe memorize that.
He
says,
Sometimes,
the messenger, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, might allow
something in a certain scenario, and then not
allow it in another scenario. And that is
because
there is a particular reasoning that's there.
What is the reasoning here that he allowed
this one and didn't allow the other?
Sheikh Hamdu Fattah mentioned.
This one
is older, the other was younger.
The one who's older,
old in age, is able to control his
desires better
than the young one.
As long as that reasoning is present, we
would say don't,
Which is the, you know, lust and desire.
That's why I always advise brothers
and sisters, don't get married in the month
of Ramadan.
Wallahi Alaleem. Serious?
Otherwise, you're going to have kafarats, one after
the other. There's a funny clip in Shafar
had Fazan. They asked about a man, I
think I believe it's he got married in
the month of Ramadan, and then he had
intimacy with his wife, and then again, and
then again, and then everyone starts laughing.
And he was like, yes. The one kafar
after the next, and then after the next,
and then after the next.
Probably,
with my condition,
I don't think at this moment in time,
I can even do maybe 5, 6 fasting
a day,
let alone 2 months.
I don't think most people can do 2
months in a row.
Do you guys agree?
And today.
So you can maybe, inshallah, put the issue
of kissing into 3 different categories.
First category is
sometimes a peck on the cheek, and then
you leave your house.
Is that something that is allowed?
Love us.
Right?
Kissing the spouse and then just leaving.
Or sometimes, you know, peck on the cheek,
the mother, your daughter. There's nothing wrong with
that type of bubla.
This is mentioned in the books of 5th
brothers and sisters.
Nothing wrong with that.
Number
2,
kissing if you know you're going to be
someone who becomes aroused.
That's going to what?
Intensify your lust.
Should you be kissing in this scenario?
Just try to stay away from it.
Is that clear? It says from the Makru
hut, disliked.
Some say, no. You shouldn't. 3rd scenario,
if one thinks that he's going to *,
some scholars from Hanabi as well, they say
it's haram
for one to go and engage in kissing
his wife.
Again,
very common question.
Very, very common question.
Even sometimes,
wives ask this question saying, wallahi,
he asked,
and I just gave in.
No.
Right?
If it now leads to sexual *, and
both of them engaged in it, that's another
discussion as well.
Earlier, I mentioned what?
The kafar or the excavation.
I remember our Sheikh Salih ibn Abdazes,
our teaching.
He came to the UK as well. He's
originally Asian,
but he's he's a teacher he used to
be teaching the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
of his masjid. He said, even if it
means
that this wife,
she puts on a hijab and she leaves
the house, she should do that.
Don't just say, wallahi asked, and I just
gave him. La.
Especially if you know now this is not
going to lead to what?
Sexual * and so on and so forth.
Excavation may possibly be for both of them,
end up being for both of them.
Are you brothers and sisters with me?
And then some of them they say, Wala,
I knew you shouldn't do it, but I
just didn't know the explanation. I cannot, myself.
There's
no excuse. You know it's wrong.
And in the 3rd scenario, I will mention
the 3 scenarios. Sahid,
I'm going to inshallah to open the floor
if anyone has any questions.
I know a lot of the things will
come up.
Right? And inshallah,
I want
our brother Adam
to give maybe 2, 3 minutes. He's leaving.
Farewell reminder to everybody be in the night,
ta'ala.
Studies at the university,
mashallah, very enthusiastic in giving dawah. Some of
you guys may know him
on Instagram, social media giving us inshallah a
farewell reminder
that we can all benefit from
maybe something that he's experienced while he's been
here. He's been going around the country
collecting
money for
an orphanage in Gambia,
something that is very praiseworthy,
giving reminders according to Allah Azzawajal,
Insha'Allah.
What is the question?
Yeah. Says,
Right? Say anything that enters
that enters into a person's interior,
that enters into a person's interior.
Anything that goes in from the
entrances of one's body.
You have an entrance through your nose. You
have an entrance through your ear.
It would break it.
Are your brothers and sisters with me? Any
substance that goes in, whether it is a
normal one or an abnormal type of substance,
whether it is something that is edible and
something that is not,
Normally, the example that I give, and I
know some of you guys may laugh, but
it's a real
scenario.
Swaddling drugs in the month of Ramadan because
you're
smuggling into another country.
You think that is, realistic?
Like, we have brothers who deal with drugs
and they fast.
So I feel like I have to mention
it.
Even though this is haram, this is wrong.
May Allah guide them. There was a period
when I was teaching in Islam and guys
who deal with drugs were attending a class.
The leading drug dealers in Islam and some
that used to come to the class,
And I would mention it.
Sometimes even in the month of Ramadan, of
course, that's going to what? Destroy the reward
that you attained from the month of Ramadan.
But he's still fasting. He still doesn't want
Ramadan to go by. Are we gonna say
to him, don't fast because he's dealing with
drugs?
So we're gonna say to him,
la, fast, pray.
Perhaps the prayer in the salah to turn
her and if Hashai will move The salah
would move the filth and the evil of
Allah's life.
Are you brothers and sisters with me?
You might see the police and then you've
got some
something,
and he swallows it. Does it break?
Anything that enters into interior,
edible or not, is going to break it.
Now let me come to his question.
The reason why I opened the floor because
he allows me to cover other masal as
well.
Alhamdulillah, we just took another important masala.
What he asked about?
Taking something into your nose,
taking something into your nose.
If one
is going out his way
to sniff it in, that would break it.
Because the scholars in the books of 5th,
they speak about, for example,
you know, the flower. What happens when you
hit the flower? Comes out. Right?
Do we say it breaks this fast?
If it accidentally goes in nut. However, if
you intentionally
takes it in or the onsie, a scent,
he smells it in, would he break it?
Yes. It would. Because this is now an
entrance, and this is a substance that is
going into his nose.
Likewise, if one is now taking in smoke,
would it break it? Yes. It would.
However, if you are now passive smoking
do we know what passive smoking is?
When you're sitting at the bus stop, and
then the guy next to you is just
inhaling, inhaling, inhaling. And then you, subhanAllah, are
at more danger than him because you're breathing
in accidentally or unintentionally his smoke.
Would I break it?
No. It wouldn't. If just coming in, and
then it goes in and then
accidentally, unintentionally.
Poly,
does that answer your question?
Smelling it?
And that is a good one.
He's going out his way to just double
check because what the fuqa mentioned in their
books is,
Tasting the food
like the one who's cooking.
As long as it doesn't reach the throat,
it's fine.
That doesn't mean you end up having half
of the bag. Oh, let me taste. Was
it was it nice or not?
Yeah. So, did it have enough salt?
For Khan. They mentioned Abbas. And I believe
there is a statement of Abdullah ibn Abbas,
one of the companions, that's completely crossed my
mind
with regards to this issue.
What about toothpaste?
Oh, very good.
In ancient times.
Okay?
They say, if this is a type of
substance that one choose,
which then spreads
and dissolves to the rest of his mouth,
and he reaches the throat,
it would break it.
And, of course, because toothpaste is what? A
contemporary issue.
They didn't have toothpaste back in the day.
They had something called the elk that they
just used to sometimes chew on.
That's why the in the lines of post,
they say,
Right?
Just chewing on that substance. They say it's.
However, it is one of those things that
people chew on
that now dissolves
and reaches
one's throat, that would break it.
Can we say now that toothpaste is of
that kind as well? Do you guys agree?
When you use toothpaste, it dissolves in the
mouth, and then it cheats, reaches the throat.
I always tell the brothers and sisters, you
know, there's a lot of discussion. It's best
that you avoid it.
It is best
that you avoid
toothpaste
in the month of Ramadan, just to take
the safer, efficient,
option.
Right?
Take the aholot.
Your brothers and sisters with me.
Now just take in a safer opinion,
which is that. Because also you have the
Hadith,
and. Right? The prophet said,
the smell.
Today, when you breathe after not having,
brushed your tooth, your teeth,
and you breathe in somebody's face, what's it
gonna say?
It's not a pleasant smell, is it?
But this is what's Atiabbar in the law.
It's more what?
Better and greater
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala than Musk.
Allahu
Akbar. InshaAllah, you can
brush your teeth before you go to Rawi.
Instead of standing next to the guy next
to you.
Yeah?
Is good. Right?
I learned in.
I'll
come to. Yeah. Sorry, sir. I should be
doing something. Actually, what do you mean? Yes.
I'm gonna go to him because he's older.
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi said, Jibril came to me,
and he told me to give precedence to
who?
To those who are older in age.
The young brother.
Well, now when it comes to inhaler,
of course,
right, the poet he says,
Siadin
is. Right?
You do
that which you are capable,
that which you are capable of from the
things that you've been commanded with,
if the rest is difficult.
Now if I don't take my inhaler, what's
going to happen to you brothers, sisters?
And you might have an asthma attack. And
does the Sharia
encourage you to have an asthma attack?
No. It doesn't.
Whatever I commanded you with, then try to
fulfill it to the best of your ability.
Right? If you are
an old man, or you're sick, or your
leg is hurting,
you can do
most of the things in the salah,
like standing, but you just can't go into
sujood. Do we say pray sitting down?
No. You have to come with what you
can.
If you can start your prayers standing up,
then you have to.
But you can't do this, sujood.
You sit down for that which you can't.
Likewise here. Right?
If he needs his asthma pump every single
day in Ramadan, we're gonna say to him,
don't take it
and put his life at risk,
bow Allah.
Or not?
So he tries to fear Allah as well
to the best of his
ability.
Does that answer your question, Shah?
Tell them. I've lost it. I think how
long do you have left?
Can you somewhere to bring that shirt? I
want Adam to give a farewell advice.
Yeah?
Stand on the the member,
and give a reminder to everyone.
By the way, brothers and sisters, I'm really
happy to be here.
This message is very dear to my heart,
and I really thank the organizers for having
given me this opportunity to come here. I
used to come a very long time ago,
2015.
I remember Givakotbehir as well. We even held,
the,
studying the dean. I told the whole of
our in
4 days.
I remember the
sun was
really destroying me.
From my
for giving me the opportunity to come here
after a very long time.
So do you wanna take my question or
Yeah. Take it.
For the traveler
for the traveler, is it better for him
to break the fast
even though he's able to fast?
So is it better for him to keep
the fast or to break it? If if
it And you're talking about somebody who's able.
Yes. Because if he's not able, there's 3
different scenarios.
Somebody who's able. Somebody who's able to fast.
Is it better for him to break it
or is it better for him to fast?
You have the majority of the scholars that
have a view, and then you have the
halal by themselves.
Right?
Don't worry, guys. When the Hanabi by themselves
is not because they don't have a Dalil.
As how would Dalil?
Right?
They use as evidence Hadid Hamzat in Namal
Aslemi
radiAllahu ta'ala Anwar Hadid was Say Muslim.
He came to the message of Saladin, and
he said,
I have the strength and the ability to
fast
when I'm travelling. Is there a sin upon
me?
Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he responded back by saying,
He asked him, Fahlil Alaijuna, is there a
sin upon me? He said, he,
Right? This is a legislative concession from Allah.
Whoever wants to fast,
they didn't fast and it's a good thing.
And whoever doesn't break his fast, there's no
harm upon that as well.
Why do they say Ruqsa?
Why did they say that this is a
strong of Yudesh? Because it's not the hadith
when the prophet said Allah
loves for you to take the
legislative concession. The majority of the scholars, they
use 2 other hadith.
I believe it's the hadith of Anas Malika
Right?
Some of us were fasting and some of
us were?
Not fasting.
Walamya evasayim alamuftar alamuftar alamalasayim. Nobody would criticize
the other.
And the hadith I'm going to mention, inshaAllah,
one last hadith inshaAllah.
Hadith, I believe hadith anass as well.
We were traveling, and because of how hot
he was, we would put our hands here,
try to cover ourselves.
No one from amongst us was fasting other
than the prophet
And he said, look, the fact that the
messenger is doing it is better.
Right?
Perhaps the stronger view is that you do
what is best for you.
But either way, you have not gone against
the sun or anything like that. Having said
all of that, you still have
the
concession to break it simply because you are
a traveler.
Just for a couple of minutes, our brother
Adam will give us a reminder.
