AI: Summary ©
I left off last week in the Tafseer
of Surah Al-Qalam, and Surah Al-Qalam
will take a number of weeks for us
to finish because the chapters or the paragraphs
of Surah Al-Qalam Are very well defined.
They're not long, but they're well defined So
it'll be six, seven weeks for us to
finish And what we're doing inshallah within it.
The first paragraph that we covered last week
was just Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala establishing
for us The description of the Prophet alayhi
salatu wasalam of being someone a great character
or high ethics or someone who has had
great values and it was explained obviously in
In different ways and I went over the
angles but to summarize it the the verse
that kind of put it all together وَإِنَّكَ
لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ Indeed, you are someone who
is established upon great values or great principles
or great ethics and in Surah Al-Qalam
it talks about our Requirements of values or
ethics what we need as Muslims who carry
Islam on a personal level or carry Islam
to others And that's kind of how I
see or my understanding or comprehension of Juz
Tabarak or the 29th Juz of the Quran
or this third cluster of surahs within the
Mufassal that it talks about da'wah which
is the ultimate goal at the end our
goal as Muslims is to perform da'wah
is to take Islam and to Convey this
message to others.
That is what we define as actual victory
And if you recite for example at the
end of the Quran إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ
وَالْفَتْحَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحَ And
the verse would use the two two main
descriptions of victory and success and نصر and
الفتح and then defines it وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ
فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجٍ وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي
دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجٍ You see people entering the
religion or the deen of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala in bulk, in groups because that's
victory for us Victory for Muslims is not
to conquer land.
Victory for Muslims is not to It's not
for one's empire to to beat the other
or for us to own things or for
us to enslave la samhallah others or to...
No, victory for us is for people to
accept Islam For them to love Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, to know who Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is, to learn about the
Prophet And to love the Quran, that is
victory.
That's what we aim for.
That's the end goal This is the end
goal of all of it, is for people
to live well, to live the way Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala wants them to live
There is no other goal.
When we talk about the qadaya that we
have, the causes that we have as an
ummah, Qadiyat Palestine and the other just causes
that we have in our ummah, the reason
that we talk about them is because Because
injustices have occurred It's about injustice.
It's not about anything else.
It's not about the fact that we need
to own something or we have to have
something.
When an injustice occurs and no one fixes
it, your deen, it dictates upon you that
you continue to speak, that you continue to
be the voice of truth for the rest
of your life And that's why we talk
about these causes and that's why we continue
to keep them central within our Islamic narrative
But really the goal is dawah.
I think this juz' from mulq to mursalat,
it talks about that in a very very
powerful manner and it starts by four surahs
that give us the four requirements knowledge requirements,
ethical requirements, spiritual requirements and then behavioral requirements
And these are the four disciplines of life
that we use to carry ourselves in the
world and be who we are So surah
al-mulk, we talked about the knowledge requirements
and we went over that in some detail,
surah al-mulk al-qalam We're going to
talk about the ethical requirements and today We're
going to share the the bulk of these
ethical requirements within the verses that we're going
to recite So we'll start inshallah with that
immediately and I'll explain As we go along
inshallah ta'ala.
We stopped at ayah number seven Inna rabbaka
huwa a'lamu biman dhalla an sabilihi wa
huwa a'lamu bilmuhtadeen Indeed your Lord knows
best Who is it that went astray and
who is considered as guided, al-muhtadeen So
Allah knows there's no need for us to
waste a lot of time fighting with others
on this topic We will live the way
we believe is correct to live We'll carry
the values that we know are correct.
You can carry your values you do your
thing We'll do ours and then the maybe
outcomes judge us Maybe outcomes of our choices
judge us and and that's how Islam has
always seen the equation to play out Meaning
your outcomes will be the judge.
What is it the result the result you
you walk your path.
I'll walk mine the results We'll decide whose
path was correct and whose path was was
incorrect Which is why we are held to
certain standards as Muslims we have to hold
ourselves to these standards because if we don't
then we're carrying Islam just Just as a
title just the banner But there's no but
the essence is not there and then we
fail and then people think that Islam failed
and it's not Islam That failed it's us
who failed because we didn't really actually follow
what was being taught there to begin with
But this is what Allah subhana saying when
it comes to values you don't need to
make great arguments you need to force people
the outcomes will will will define the outcomes
will be the The deciding factor it'll be
clear those who live well and those who
don't those who uphold values of truth and
righteousness and goodness and those who don't The
outcome will be very clear in terms of
the difference and that's where we have to
kind of take some time to reflect So
to start with ayah number 8 inshallah ta
'ala and we'll recite inshallah until ayah number
16 and we'll go over them in explanation
inshallah Allah
Let's go through these characteristics that the Quran
point counts one after the other I'm gonna
count them I'm gonna point them out and
I'm explaining to you Why how they work
and why they are in the way that
they are so Allah subhana says So don't
follow in the footsteps of it does not
necessarily mean will be obedience It's not always
obedience.
Ba is also to emulate and and and
the Arabic language both meanings are Correct.
So here Does not mean to obey don't
obey the person who has these characteristics No,
rather don't emulate someone who has these characteristics
So the prophet is thought to us about
who we just a second ago heard Allah
subhana Ta'ala tell us that he is
as he's a person who had established himself
upon great ethics and great values is being
told what not to Emulate what not to
be like you're gonna find this a lot
in the Quran with the Quran instead of
telling you what to do It tells you
what not to do and it's actually way
better for that to be the case Why
even though the brain does not understand negativity
very well, the human brain is not good
at comprehending negativity upfront But later on in
life Understanding negative the negative is much more
productive because if I give you a command
until you do this that I am restricting
you I'm restricting you to whatever it is
I commanded you to do or whatever my
command can be under whatever ways my command
can be understood of Understood as so you're
still restricted Even if what I said is
figurative, you can know you can still only
have one or two options Maybe three options
tops and what I said when I tell
you what not to do That I'm restricting
you in terms of the negative and I'm
leaving the positive open for many other things
to do So it's much easier.
It's much better for you be told not
what not to do Not what to do
which is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam would tell us in another hadith the
sahih Yeah, I'm a man.
I hate to come on home, but you
tell me boo-hoo Well, I'm out to
come be he thought to men who must
a part of what I tell you not
to do Do not do it and what
I tell you to do try your best
to do as much of it as possible
This was his rule of thumb only his
thought to us That's how he taught in
order what I tell you to stay away
from listen to me very carefully stay away
from don't touch Don't come near what I
tell you to do as much as you
can as much as you can and you
always have some short Shortcomings and setbacks and
and mistakes, but keep on trying to do
as much as you can of it But
it's staying away from the things that he
said not to It's the red lines the
lines that he drew for you.
Don't cross these lines.
Don't cross them As long as you don't
cross them you're fine, and there's a lot
of space to move or move around away
from them that's why in the Quran you'll
find there's a lot of you'll find verses
that have No, I mean you're being told
what not to don't do this and don't
do that Why because when you figure out
what you shouldn't do Then you're left with
a lot of space of what you can
do if I tell you what to do
then I've restricted you And you have nowhere
to go You have to do exactly this
if you do anything else you're wrong On
the other hand if I tell you what
not to do and as long as you
haven't done this you're fine As long as
you have not done this one thing that
you're fine.
Yeah, there's a million things to do Just
don't do this one thing And you're given
so the Islam has both has both now
I hear now I'm has commands and has
no I he yeah I need commands of
the negative with what not to do you
have to understand the priorities that you carry
It's staying away from what you should stay
away from what you were told not to
do actually if you think of shahadah Tauheed
shahadah Tauheed in its own essence is a
net is a nahi.
It's in the negative, right?
We don't when we talk about Allah subhana.
We don't say Allahu lahidul ahad no the
shahada that we give is la ilaha.
There is no it's negative.
It starts with the negative as well It's
denying any other God but Allah It's denying.
That's why it's heavy whenever there's a tell
you not to do something Then you know
you have to stay away from that to
stay away from any form of worship or
service aside from Allah subhanahu Taala, that's why
it does not come It does not come
in the in the affirmative as in describing
Allah subhana as being the one and only
no It's going to come in a negative
la ilaha.
There is no God And what we tell
atheists you're halfway there I would tell an
agnostic how the atheist you're halfway there.
You just need the second piece.
That's all you figured out Yeah, good for
you Just walk with me a bit and
you'll figure out in the law and then
you'll be fine You know, I'll be on
the same page and it's actually easier so
it's in the negative and think there's a
lot of and there's a lot of that
in the in the Dean a lot of
Indeed come in the in the negative form
to Emphasize the importance of what's being of
us being taught So here the prophet is
being told what not to emulate but I
don't believe in what does he be number
one?
Do not emulate the mukad.
They've been where's mukad.
They be in me because they mean is
not That does not mean the disbelievers.
No, and I've talked about this so many
times I feel sometimes, you know, I'm embarrassed
to talk about it again.
It's the team is a very specific thing
in the Quran It's not like go for
go for a disbelief that does without defining
a reason But I don't know why but
they just disbelieve right that's go for the
KVB is when something is presented to you
It makes sense as far as you can
tell this is the right answer As far
as you can tell this is the correct
answer, but you're going to say no anyways
You're going to say no anyways for whatever
reason for some reason for a reason that
you carry in your heart some degree of
arrogance or vanity or maybe some degree of
envy or some degree of Fear or there's
some interest that you're gonna lose if you
do it something to do with your personal
experience That's going to cause you to look
at that which makes most sense to you
The evidence is supporting it the most and
you can say no and that's the Quran
is very heavy on that Why don't you
make it a little because the mean time
and time again like to give all over
the Quran is a huge problem It's a
huge sin So the prophet is being told
do not emulate them because they mean don't
be someone who went who once or when?
Evidence is presented to them.
They say no don't be like that This
is one of the hallmarks of the prophet
Personality and it's one of the Muslim Yeah
it's one of the maxims of our intellect
as Muslims one of them one of the
basics of our Character as Muslims is that
we always follow the evidence wherever the evidence
takes us.
We are not stuck to anything We are
stuck to evidence we Believe in la ilaha
illallah because the evidence around us directs us
towards that and if you present me with
evidence that directs me somewhere else then I'll
follow that if You can subjectively present me
with evidence that is better Directs me a
different direction.
I'll go after that one Well in Canada
Rahmani weathered for an hour.
What would I be Dean if you can
prove to me that a Rahman has a
son?
Then I will be the first to worship
him Prove give me proof Show me show
me that your narrative has more evidence than
the narrative that I carry and if you
can't then you should listen To what I
have to say because I will present you
with my evidence as Muslims We follow the
evidence and then we accept it.
We accept the hot wherever it may be
Whoever carries it Whoever it is that speaking
the hop and the truth people stand by
them and we will accept it from them
Even if we hate them Even if there
are people that we don't agree with even
if there are people who we think are
our low lives People who don't but if
they are saying the hop and it's obvious
It is clear to you through evidence that
that's the hop then you will stick to
the hook Never in Islam has you have
you ever been asked ever to walk blindly
behind anything?
You've never been asked in Islam to go
against the rationale and the logic of the
world that you live in You've never been
told to turn your brain off and just
go with it Even though it makes no
sense.
Never have you been told to do this?
you've never been told to lie to yourself
as a Muslim ever and if you're doing
that then you have misunderstood what Islam is
teaching you to begin with or you have
an Aspect of Iman that you have not
dealt with yet I mean you're struggling with
a few doubts that you have not figured
out properly yet And once you figure them
out, then things will start to it'll become
much easier become much easier that being said
You don't need reasoning for absolutely everything he
tells you to do on a kiss a
lot of us sir You're like well now
you just went back against no.
No, no No, that's not how this works
You Arrive at your belief in Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala and in the prophecy of Muhammad
alayhi salatu wasalam in the Quran through evidence
You establish it beyond reasonable doubt you have
certainty in these three things And once you
have certainty in these things and amongst that
certainty is in the attributes of God himself
that he is the most wise That he
is the most merciful that he is the
omniscient now that you've established that about Allah
himself You've established his characteristics.
You've established that the Quran is his word
now You can easily take what he says
and go with it not needing to question
every single thing that he asks you to
do Because you've already questioned the origin of
it.
You questioned the origin of it So then
it's like going to a doctor once you
establish that I am properly trained and I
have a medical degree Then you don't need
to understand how every single drug that I'm
going to give you works Because you don't
have a medical degree.
It's not gonna work.
I can't do that for you I can't
sit down and give you a medical degree
in our half an hour appointment I can't
explain to you what the receptor means If
I tell you this is a PDL-1
inhibitor, what's PDL-1?
You know, programmed death Inhibitor Receptor, what does
that mean?
It's not going to work.
It's not going to work.
You have to go back.
Let's go back I am a physician you
see this is Take a look at the
university establish that I know what I'm doing
establish This is a proper place and then
you go with it But if you don't
then yes, you have to so it's time
you can't say well Why did Allah ask
us to do this one thing?
Why is khunzeer haram?
I can give you reasons that may make
sense to you and I may not actually
have enough knowledge to give you those reasons
But if Allah said it then you should
be fine with it Why because you establish
your belief in Allah at the beginning You've
already established through your logic and through your
rationale and through haq and through evidence that
is la ilaha illallah You've already established that
you establish the Quran in his word.
So now you're good now, whatever he says
is fine He's just it's automatic after this
point If you need still need to understand
the reason for everything after that then there's
something wrong with your with your with your
thought process If you need to come and
question everything in the detail in the for
or if in every farah you need to
understand the reasoning Behind everything in order for
you to listen to it and follow it
then there's going to be a problem because
you didn't the thought process is is It's
flawed the thought process of flawed and here
I'm talking about obviously the clear commands of
Allah subhana Sometimes you'll find fatawa that don't
necessarily aren't necessarily built upon a clear wording
from Allah subhana You can question those and
you can look for she'll who can explain
their reason.
That's fine But I'm talking about a lot
of times it is haram.
It's haram You want to come and argue
with me why it shouldn't be haram, go
ahead I'll try and beat you with the
argument.
I may I probably will I probably will
I may not I May not you may
have a better.
I don't know now You can
make an argument and maybe you win the
argument and somehow I don't I'm not able
to actually bring a comeback to why It's
haram, but I don't need it and as
a Muslim you shouldn't need either because that's
not where you're questioning That's not where you're
looking for evidence.
You go back to the origin.
Do you believe in God?
Do you believe do you understand this is
what Surat Al-Mulk told us?
How did you believe in Allah?
What do you look at look at the
universe a history you look at to yourself
to cut life?
What do you look at look at those
things establish your evidence that there is a
God and then you figure out who that
God?
Is you figure out who he how he?
Communicated and then you established your belief in
the prophets and then the Prophet Muhammad alayhi
salatu wa salam Specifically and then the Quran
and once you've established that certainty then everything
else is flows It's just a nice flowing
river after that's easy But if you didn't
establish that then you come and question everything
and people who question me more than Usually
people around me who question me more than
twice on the floor.
I say, okay hit the brakes go back
Go back go back go back to the
beginning because you have a problem in the
beginning Like you're trying to build your iman
by asking about reasonings regarding.
Why do we pray five times a day?
Well, you're trying to build your iman on
these things That's not where you man is
built You man is built way before that
you man is built through observing the universe
around you and understanding your own History and
and life itself and your experience as a
human being all those arrows are pointing towards
the oneness of a creator That's what you
build your iman You don't build your iman
on the answer of why the Prophet alayhi
salatu wa salam had more than one wife
and why Aisha was young No, no, that's
not that's not how you build your iman
and if you this is a silly question
and that's not how you Establish your strength
of your deen versus the weakness of it
you establish your strength in your deen in
a different place the tawabit the maxims of
Existence the maxim of the universe you that's
how you figure out who Allah subhana is
and who Muhammad alayhi salatu was in the
prophets and prophecies and books and communication and
then Flows and then you'll you'll find ways
and sometimes we'll sit in front of a
hadith.
I don't know what it means There's many
a hadith who are reading and I don't
I don't know right because I don't know
what it means I don't know what he
means alayhi salatu wasalam.
I don't I don't get it and the
scholars who read it They're not sure either.
There's a piece of context missing Maybe we
have not come to the point in history
where we able to understand it.
I don't need it Rock the foundation of
my belief because I didn't build my belief
on on I had narrations on there on
Narrations given to us by one or two
people throughout his no I built my iman
on on life itself on the universe that
I'm living in That's how I came to
la ilaha illallah not through a hadith that
I read one day No, not not even
through a verse the Quran is not the
source of iman The Quran tells you where
to look for your iman the Quran tells
you Oh, that's where you go look find
your iman come back then listen to what
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has to tell
you tell he'll tell you what he wants
from you how to live your life and
how things will be good for you and
This is this is the that's why I
thought I'll make a TV version Don't be
like a mukaddib Don't be someone who sees
evidence and then goes against it because you
are Muhammad sallallahu ala muhammad salallahu alayhi Wa
sallam is a type of art You're a
type of person who always goes by the
evidence you and your followers will be like
that So if I'm saying something or doing
something and you present me with a better
argument, I'll leave my arguments I'll go with
yours And if I don't then there's something
wrong with my with my whole build-up
My whole everything is wrong If you're not
capable of leaving what you have to a
better argument Then you don't understand how life
works and you and that's not and you
have not actually fully embraced Islam We are
Muslim not because we inherited this we are
Muslim because this is What makes the most
sense in the world that we live in
because the evidence supports what we have not
because we have it's not because I took
it from my dad that I'm going to
stand by and defend it blindly and No,
because because it makes more sense And if
that's not if that's not if that's not
if that is not why you're Muslim Then
you have to go back and figure yourself
out And I say this to people.
Yeah, you have to go figure it out.
I don't want you You don't inherit your
religion.
You inherit your race You inherit your race
and color of your skin and hair and
The accent that you speak in the culture
that you have that's fine You can hear
it that you can't inherit your religion If
you're lucky your parents will hand you down
the right one If you're not then you
have to go figure it out yourself.
You have to find out where the where
is the evidence?
Where is the evidence?
What is it directing towards is it directing
towards?
No, no, no Moojid no creator No power
behind all this or a power a power
or many powers What are the what are
these characteristics of this power that that is
that brought this to existence?
That's what you're just looking.
What did he communicate?
Does he care?
He has communicated.
How did he communicate?
What was the communication like the people who
communicated?
What were they like?
What type of people were they?
So you study and you look and you
learn you understand and then you come to
the clarity of that.
You know, I don't know But there's no
other Conclusion to be drawn from this existence
and then Muhammad Rasool Allah is the easiest
one Because Islam brings you this universal understanding
of life and of history that puts you
at peace with everything around you Always whenever
a convert comes in accepts Islam.
I tell them what you you don't lose
anything this time you win everything There's time
you don't lose if you're a Christian You
don't lose if you're a Jew if you
don't lose if you're Hindu you don't lose
because we see Hinduism and Buddhism and Confucianism
and every other ism that exists and all
the we see them as religions that at
one point were led by great men who
brought Tawheed and a book from Allah taught
their people in the hand of man corrupted
it because there's no because Tawheed is never
lucrative Because Tawheed doesn't make money.
Tawheed is very it keeps people Tawheed teaches
a selflessness and teaches you equality and equity
and that no one wants that.
We don't want that We want we want
control and we want so it doesn't stay
around for very long So someone leaves their
deen, you're not leaving your deen.
You're coming.
You're actually going back to the authentic teaching
of your deen What are you a Hindu
you're gonna go back to the authentic teaching
of the person who brought Hinduism come to
Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi wasallam He will bring you
exactly what your prophet taught you Unfortunately, they
didn't hand you the book the way it
needed to be handed down here take this
now You can be like them so you
can actually belong to your people more you
can belong to your people Who are your
people you can belong to them more?
Wherever you come from in the world There
are religions large religions that as far as
we know as Muslims We believe that there
were prophets there that brought Tawheed The Tawheed
so what we are giving you is an
authentic way to belong to your people to
belong to your prophet to belong To your
culture not the opposite.
We're not ripping you out of your environment.
No, we're giving you the authenticity of your
environment We're allowing you to be the original
version of your environment.
It's beautiful so you come to the to
the conclusion of la ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasool
Allah and then why because of evidence and
Then all the commands after that are easy
Don't be the type of person who needs
to know well Why did he say that
we have to do the five specific and
why are they four?
What are you doing?
Go fuck go get your Get your thought
process straight go come to your email appropriately
and then come and follow as he teaches
you subhanahu wa'ta'ala go No one likes
even children like that sit here start doing
math.
Why do I have to do?
No, just sit down.
I've got you learn turn your brain.
Let me teach you so he can be
someone you'll figure it out later Yeah, if
you move you don't have to ask at
each detail.
That's it doesn't work that way I do
this in the clinic all the time.
The patient has to ask me every single
question.
This is I Hope they fire me as
a physician find someone else.
I hope they fire me because it's impossible
I can't I can't give you a medical
degree I Can show you the trials I
can explain to you But I can't I
can't sit down and explain why we decided
to target this specific receptor with this drug
And why is this drug called this and
why is it through this number of molecules?
It should have been the gas the chemist
who did this.
I didn't make the * thing You have
to there has to be like a Thought
process where you trust certain Maxim's and then
you accept the results of the Maxim's you
trusted the Maxim's of the universe you came
to the conclusion of La ilaha illallah you
accept the commands of la ilaha illallah you
accept the commands of la ilaha illallah with
it comes Comes a buy-in comes a
buy-in of commands here to do's and
don'ts you accepted la ilaha illallah now open
it up and start Taking the commands.
Here's what I supposed to do.
I can't do this.
I should do that You can't if you
question each and every one of them.
That means you didn't really take this appropriately
And that's what because the mean are because
they mean are people who don't go by
evidence They turn their back on what makes
sense to them and then they don't live
well And the moment you see the truth
and you say no, that's a stain on
your character to the day you die Until
you go back and you admit that you
were wrong publicly when you admitted when you
stuck to your subhanallah.
I'll tell you this funny One of our
scholars in Syria one of the people who
I was I was blessed in my life
to to learn from his students She came
in Sued He's a very known Quranic scholar
in and his teacher a sheikh.
I've lost an accord.
Y'all.
I don't have a woman.
She's a pseudo suit are amongst the great
scholars of Sham and he was one of
the teachers who my generation learned from like
we were scared of him Like he was
a he was a scared He was a
very strict Quranic teacher he used to come
to Jamia Zayed and teach us and give
us lectures and he would recite to him
and he He was never happy with anything
we did but if I'm in Sued for
20 years Defended a certain aspect of Tajweed
and he for 20 years He was one
of the he was the main person that
continued to defend something It was where so
if the Quran for example Shaim bin Ameen
Shaim bin Ameen Huh?
So the way you recite is Masha in
my lips are closed so he was of
the and he was a part of the
he was of the opinion where you would
read it Masha in and Leave a little
bit of a it's a silly thing in
Tajweed But it's a very like it's a
disputed point where you just keep a little
opening in your lips when you recite it
and for 20 years, he would literally destroy
all the anyway, and he would he brought
and Subhallah in early 2000s.
He went public and said I was wrong.
I Was wrong for 20 years.
I've been I've been defending this one thing
I was wrong the correct one is this
one and they explain the after after being
the person like like those who didn't depended
on his on his Authority right and in
front of you I remember this in jeopardy
stood and then he went and then they
in recorded and went online and a subhallah
It's only after that they became very famous
It's after that he wasn't known before that
only he was only known to us like
the students and you know the Teenagers and
the young 20s who who in sham knew
him because he was very much Allah I
don't think he's a great scholar of he
is he is in my opinion the most
knowledgeable Yeah, I'm a scholar of it in
the world today I don't think there's anyone
who can outs him in any form.
You know, I'm a shalala.
He's he's absolutely impeccable and and and I
believe a lot in my opinion is that
his ability to To admit that he was
he was he didn't have the right argument.
It's very hard when you defend something Ferociously
for 20 years they come admit.
Yeah, I was wrong the evidence now that
was Could do presented him in an argument
before he died He presented him an argument
before he died of why he's wrong and
he listened to it and he's like, yeah
No, I think I'm wrong and he went
publicly and he and Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala He will baraka fee on me He
will baraka fee on moody and Allah gave
him Baraka and Baraka and all that he
did and he's a new name He's a
household name now for those who know there
are at in Quran and Quran Well, why
because he is not of that.
He's of the right he and he understood
this evidence Give me the argument and I'll
step back show me that you have better
argument and I'll step back We don't do
that as normal.
I'm sorry for ending.
This is gonna probably take but we don't
do this.
We don't We don't we don't follow the
arguments We don't we're whatever we're taught at
some point in our lives is what the
Shaykh has to say and do if he
doesn't then I won't listen to him anymore
And I'm not willing to even Entertain slightly
to change my mind on anything that doesn't
work.
That's not that is not how that's not
Islamic It's not how he was on his
thoughts.
It's not how the prophets were.
It's not how the Sahaba were we Defend
things not because they're correct.
We defend them because because they are ours
Because that's what we're used to because that's
what we're comfortable with.
That's not a reason for you to defend
anything Your familiarity with something or your comfort
zone or your comfort level with something is
not a reason for you to defend it
Is it correct?
Is it truthful if someone offering you a
better argument, then you have to listen I'm
not saying that you change your mind immediately
But you have to have the objectivity to
listen to what's being said and if it
makes sense, okay, there's something here Let me
think about this more.
Let me hear my own argument better Sometimes
about if you have a certain belief and
I challenge you with another one I don't
expect you to change your mind.
I actually don't I don't think that's the
I don't think that's wise I think what
that should do is just send you back
to what is your argument because but most
of us have Beliefs but we don't necessarily
know the arguments behind them, which is very
unfortunate You shouldn't you should never believe something
that you don't understand what the argument behind
it is So I challenge it for you.
So you go and you and you study
your own arguments So what why do I
believe this and you go look at the
argument and then you come back and say
well I want to hear your full argument
and then compare because you have a couple
you have a brain Yeah, you listen to
both arguments and then the one that makes
more sense you go by how do we
expect a non-muslim to accept?
Islam what is the method?
We expect them when they hear our argument
and they are challenged for a moment that
they go back and listen to their own
Argument.
All right to the Trinity.
Where does that come from again?
Explain to me show that to me in
my book again I just want to know
where it was.
Okay, that's where it is.
Show me else where else is talking about
Oh nowhere else.
Okay, so tell me what how many other?
How many other messages before I had this
idea?
Oh none This is the first one to
get your argument straight and then come and
listen to mine and then listen to both
are in which one makes more sense In
Islam the idea of putting your awful away
is is the is the dumbest thing I've
ever heard of and every once in a
while Someone says something like that and just
makes me laugh.
What are you talking about?
This time is built on on on evidence
How do you process evidence if you don't
have a brain if you're not going to
lose your use your logic and rational?
How do you process evidence?
How do we expect a non-muslim to
become Muslim unless they use their brains unless
they use their logic and rationale?
We're going to offer them a better argument
better in what way it's more logical.
It's more rational.
It makes more sense It makes more sense.
They have to have sense that they use
sense you do too.
We all do Never in Islam were you
asked not to ever Anyone who does get
rid of them any day?
I sit here and tell you just listen.
Just just trust me on this one Allah
Maak Allah Maak go don't trust me on
anything.
Well, I don't trust don't trust your don't
trust anybody Your spouse or your dad or
your mom or your kid don't touch Show
me I want to see explain clearly and
I go with that.
It's easier that way.
It's easier people enter marriages They don't write
down stuff.
Oh, I trust it.
Don't trust her.
Don't trust him.
Don't trust each other.
Just write it down What exactly are you
going to owe each other?
How exactly it's going to work?
It's just easier when there's clarity when things
are agreed upon when there is life works
better Evidence we follow evidence we go by
what makes most sense.
We don't go by if we start saying
well, that's how it's always been How are
we different than the mushrikeen of Quraysh when
they the prophet alayhi salatu wasalam came and
told them ya jama'a Why are these
aslam?
Are you insane?
What is this rocks around the Kaaba?
Allah haqqa da aba'una al awwaloon.
That's what our parents did before Masa Nabi
had a fee about in an awali.
None of our your grandfather never had a
problem with these aslam Right.
That's what they told Your grandfather I've been
with but he told they told him I
saw to Islam.
Who's better you or your grandfather.
I'm gonna believe He didn't have a problem
with me.
Never said anything.
Why are we why are you are you
are you arguing against him?
He can't say anything.
I mean he didn't answer but whatever he
says he's going to be on him Bury
himself if he says I'm better than the
they'll mock him if he said my grandfather
is better than they'll say well then follow
What he's doing.
So again, it's not about better.
It's about about logic.
Maybe he missed something Oh, well, okay.
I know about them.
Yeah, they do when I say I'm well,
I have to do what if the what
if your forefathers the They didn't reason properly.
They didn't have guidance and they made the
wrong choice.
What you guys just follow because that's what
you're used to No, this is this is
the opposite of what Islam is built upon
the opposite Islam is built upon Evidence we
follow Show me explain to me Show me
why this makes more sense.
I want to do Well in now.
Oh, yeah.
Come now.
I love you.
Then.
Oh feel better than movie.
One of us is right One of us
is wrong.
Let's hear let's hear your argument.
Let's see if it makes more sense Because
we refuse to be a Mukaddib.
We refuse to be Mukaddibin.
We refuse to be Shown an argument that
is superior to our own and then say
no to it.
No, we will always go by the better
argument That's why we're Muslim.
I'm trying to explain.
I want you to understand that this is
the other way around The reason that you're
Muslim is because Islam Possesses the superior argument.
It's not the other way around It's not
I am Muslim So now Islam has to
carry the superior argument because I'm Muslim and
I have to make it fit I have
to make it fit.
It doesn't fit make it fit.
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't make
anything fit Don't make anything that's not comfortable
and doesn't fit fit.
No, no Go by the superior argument, which
is what Islam offers.
That's why We're Muslim.
It's because it has the superior argument.
Not the other way around Because we refuse
to Emulate a Mukaddibin.
We won't be like that.
فَلَا تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ He was told.
Don't be like that.
The first thing he was told.
The first value is adherence to righteousness and
the truth That's the first value.
You see the way we're gonna read these
these verses He's being told not to do
this not to do this not the we're
gonna count them And then what we're gonna
do is we're gonna flip them See, what
are their opposites and then you're like, oh
Then you'll be sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because
because these verses describe him.
They just just in the mirror Yes, we
just have to mirror them just mirror them
Saying don't do this.
Don't do this.
Okay, what are the opposites of these you
look at them?
That's Rasulullah alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Exactly who he is Exactly who he is
first thing he's he adheres to the truth.
He stands by what the evidence Tells him
he has no bias to his choices.
He's not too proud He's not too egocentric
to admit if some if his argument at
one point was not correct He will always
go by what is correct I think his
thought is because of that he was chosen
for prophecy and it's the Muslims who Who
who are like that that succeeded around him
alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam those that's why
you Listen to you hear about sitting on
the hook up What was one of the?
Characteristics kind of a coffin and a kitab
Allah He was Actually, some other descriptions are
a little bit more Difficult to use khala.
Kala.
You feel so who Quran meaning?
He'll be talking if you use the Quran
to argue against them.
He'll but not one word He's on the
member on it.
Well the Allah one who's speaking talking about
something and a lady from behind Yells out
something at the moment what she said made
more sense to him than what he was
saying And he said a saba timbrel at
an awful armor.
She was right.
I am wrong When really he was right
and she was wrong He just had to
go back and figure it out later But
at that moment because he is someone who
always follows the evidence when he heard what
she said it made more sense to him
That he was saying Like I said when
you go back later you listen to your
argument a little bit more depth you look
at the other argument You make stick to
your an original one, but at that moment
when he was on the member and he
heard what she said He's like, yep.
I Makes more sense right now for me
right now what you said make more sense
and he admitted it in front of people
I Didn't know about the same thing when
he and I was sitting on the club
in the story where they were they quarreled
if he fought Yeah, there was a moment
and say and say no I'm a little
bit got upset and he went to the
prophet He's a lot of us now and
I'll buckle and he came behind him and
the arm of the hot tub is telling
the prophet Yeah, Russell Allah.
Yeah, I need it.
Yes.
He's complaining.
I will become a worker came running from
a fight Oh, yeah, that's what a lot
of them.
I know of them.
You know, I was I'm I'm the one
who's wrong I wronged him first.
I did it It was me it was
me don't don't is me it was totally
me we fought but it was my fault
and the prophet I'll a saw some got
upset from over I'm gonna tell up to
me sahibi.
Well, you're not gonna leave my friend for
me You know, I'm not just you know,
you're not gonna stop this leave my friend
for me I'm gonna be is cut them
to Mooney Autonomy lemma haram to Mooney.
Well, I wanna know I'm not a lot
to Mooney He gave me when no one
gave me he believed in me when no
one believed in me He stood by me
when none of you did I left a
lot to me sahibi.
I'm a from a Nazar to bother her
about the creature.
Yeah, and after that I never in my
life even I never disagreed over again I
just sat whatever a worker was doing.
I was out of fear from the prophet
He's like, of course it's different but that
is because I don't look like that of
that nature He is someone who admits his
mistake immediately immediately.
There's no there's no ego There's no reason
to say try to defend it or try
to make it look different No, there's no
reason because this is the first characteristic.
Are you understanding these the reason I'm spending
time with you on this?
This is the this is the first.
These are the first five amongst the first
five surahs that were revealed to Muhammad I
think it's a lot to us around Here's
the amongst the first five surahs that he
they ever listened to this was the one
of the first commands they listen to think
About the commands it got in sort in
a little bit.
Those are good.
Yeah, those are general commands teaching a basic
concept Right, and then the second surah was
a button and this is the first command
So so you could argue that this is
the first time in the Quran where you
being that the Quran was telling don't do
something What's the first thing the Quran is
going to say let's open a mukaddeen don't
emulate People of bias and people who don't
respect the truth people who won't follow the
evidence people don't respect righteousness.
Don't be like that That's the first one
second one.
What do we know to do?
You know, so you did he noon to
do him is not to paint and that
didn't do to him is to compromise To
do him is to give something up in
Order to get a game right to compromise
what new meaning they would love What do
men would men hope from to love something?
What do meaning they've made this but the
the kuffar Quraish what do they would love
low to them if you would just compromise?
something of your values For you to he
known and they'll compromise immediately because they don't
stand for anything to begin with They just
need you to compromise just give something up
give something up anything One year us one
year to you by him colors will will
be with you But but don't have a
boost of yarn and okba and Abu Jahl
and Abul Hakam I mean he shall sit
with Ammar and Bilal in Suhaib it's not
appropriate for let them sit behind the slaves
sit in the third row and the noble
sit in the first row Good him just
give that up.
Nope He would give up nothing on his
thought was Sam when you study his seerah
in those first Ten years of his death
up you you sometimes get confused I get
confused when I'm telling the story.
Sometimes I lose track of myself.
I love what I'm saying I who's who's
the weaker person here when you listen to
the stories you start to feel like he
has the upper hand Even though he's outnumbered.
He has less followers.
Yes loss Well, he has no army as
like he is that he is the cornered
one and yet when you hear the stories
It sounds like he has the upper hand
because they keep on offering him things They
keep on trying to negotiate with him play
you can you do this play can you
get rid of that but at least can
You maybe not do this not talk about
that for now.
Can you not bring this up?
And he's like, nope Oh, no, no Accept
it as it is or get lost As
it is or I don't I don't want
any I don't need you.
I don't know.
I'm compromising.
Nothing.
Nothing Not one thing what do know to
him?
They will love he would just compromise something
but you know, and they'll also compromise because
they don't stand for anything They just they
just want money they don't care they have
no values I think politicians have values Politicians
will do anything to get a vote.
That's all it is.
Don't say whatever you think Trump is a
Christian He's a Republican.
He's a Christian.
He's a practicing Christian This is the stupidity
of the human race this is where we
go stupid like as a group as a
Group of people and when we gather and
then we turn stupid for some reason we
come together when what five people together We
all we lose our mind and then we
look at This is a Christian.
This is a practicing Christian with value How
did you how could you how could you
he'll do whatever needs to be done to
make sure that he gets the nomination and
He gets as almost every other politician and
they're all full of it As long as
where's wealth as long as they the reason
that they stand by what happens in the
Holy Land the reason that they continue to
be quiet and support is because they get
more money from that side and they get
more Scrutiny and they're under more pressure We
have not been able to build up enough
pressure show enough support to balance things out
for them to use at least You know
reasonable reasonable language when they talk about it
That's why they're so scared of everything We've
learned over the last year how scared the
politicians around the world are from the Zionists
how scared they are scared Physically scared that
they can't afford for something to happen and
I'm not saying something positive on their behalf
How quickly they are to come to their
to their aid at any point and how
Slow and sluggish and almost impossible it is
to get them to say anything after hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds of children being killed
with pictures Documenting it as it's happened in
real time You're seeing them dead being pulled
out of the rubble is nothing is said
because they just there's not enough pressure Not
scared of us.
We don't have that power.
We don't have money.
We can't put pressure on them So they
they have no values.
Unfortunately, they have no values It's unfortunate that
we live in a world where we've accepted
that politics has no values and politicians have
no values.
Very very sad It's very sad that that's
where we are as a human race when
our leaders are leaders the people who should
be the most principled amongst us I didn't
thought was that I'm the leader the most
principled person amongst the group They learned their
ethics from him out.
He's a lot worse than I'm and he
was the leader today is the opposite As
long as they keep us the interest rate
lower and we can have jobs we don't
care We'll figure out our ethical.
Yeah, I need a principal from somewhere else.
That's a sad Reality, it's a sad reality
and the human race shouldn't be okay with
it and human beings shouldn't be okay We
should not be like yeah, that's fine.
No, it's not fine.
It's not fine.
What do you mean?
How is that fine?
How is it fine that your leader is
the person who has the least?
Values and principles amongst the whole group the
person who's willing to sell their soul for
anything just to stay in It's no different
thing.
What's the difference between the Middle East and
here?
No, there's no difference.
No difference He just yeah, the this garbage
they shuffle around every four years is just
it's just for show.
It doesn't mean anything It doesn't doesn't change
anything We're not actually getting candidates that represent
the actual people We are not actually looking
amongst us and finding the most intelligent the
most productive the people who are the wisest
and have the longest and The long-term
plans are able to execute and have values,
but we're not finding that no No, we're
not we're not getting the the cream of
the crop when we're putting people in You
look at the the choices that they have
there's a bit dumb and dumber and it's
all that all we get It's all we
get you have to make a you know
I want to show rain as they say
the least of two evils I'll try to
vote in the person who's gonna do the
least harm That's a sad reality Sadder that
even to my opinion that we have in
the Middle East and the Middle East is
it's it's open dictatorship It's nice and it's
nice and clear right in your face.
There's no here It's just it's hidden and
they give you the illusion that you have
something to do.
You don't you know What do we know
to do him?
They would love it if you just compromise
So they would compromise.
So the second thing is don't compromise, right?
So what's the opposite?
I'm not gonna tell you you're gonna flip
them in your mind yourself as we talk
about these descriptions You're gonna flip them to
the opposites because when you and then you'll
come with a list and that list will
describe for you what?
we're supposed to look forward to be the
list will be the opposites of all of
these things is what we're trying to Aspire
to be number three Well, I thought they're
cool.
I'm laughing number three Mahin number four So
don't emulate and don't emulate to holla the
one who we have if catheter Yeah, if
is always I'm making oaths It's a figure
of speech a liar don't be someone who
lies a lot don't be someone who lies
don't lie Don't exaggerate to lie and commit
yourself to something that is not is not
truthful and just for personal gain That's what
a halaf is.
Yeah, if he's always a lie Well, I
just want to get out of a problem
They want to be able to get some
gain by lying by making the other person
feel that they're actually honest so they can
get Something out of it or they get
out of trouble.
Don't be a halaf.
Don't be like a halaf Mahin Don't be
someone who lacks integrity and Mahin is someone
who lacks integrity It's someone who's humiliated someone
who is valley and Mahin is someone who
does not care for their for their nobility
for their status, they don't see themselves of
To be people of integrity where they respect
their kalama.
They respect their their word They respect who
they are.
Mahin is someone who will do anything to
get to their way They will they will
kiss whatever foot they will.
Yeah, I mean suck up to ever human
being They will change and into whatever color
they need to just to get what they
want because they don't feel that they have
any integrity They're not they don't describe themselves
as something that is that is solid that
is clear Mahin, no, don't be don't be
someone who's a liar Don't be someone who
lies and don't be someone who lacks integrity
number three and four Hamasin, Masha'im bin
Amin I put them together even though most
scholars Call them five and six I put
them as five.
They're the same thing Hamas, Al Hamas is
the person who gossips Masha'im bin Amin,
Masha' is from yamshi, Masha' someone who continues
to walk on a certain path What is
the path?
Bin Amin, ayin Aminah, someone who takes Talk
or takes something from someone and gives it
someone else when he's moving moving pieces of
information around causing fitna Getting people to hate
one another.
I heard this person say this about you
Allahi barak fika, amazing, jazakallahi, thank you for
ruining my relationship with this person for the
rest of my life What do I do
with this?
What do I do now?
What do I do now?
But don't tell him I said, what do
you mean?
That's exactly what I'm going to do I'm
going to tell him what you said because
how do I verify that you said this?
Like how do I verify that fulan said
this about me?
How do I verify it?
No, don't verify it.
Then why you tell me?
Just so you know.
Why?
Why would I want to know this if
I can't verify it so I can ruin
it to end my relationship with this person
or Allow them to explain themselves.
Why would I do this?
Namima is one of the worst social things
you can do.
So Hamaz and Masha'im bin Amin together,
someone who Engages in gossip and and and
what's what's my namima?
What's the right word for this?
Is it backbiting?
Okay, like a gossip and backbiting and na
'il kalam, moving moving words around Ruining people's
relationship by just telling them this is one
of the worst things you can be Don't
be someone who focuses on this part.
Don't be Hamaz and Masha'im bin Amin.
Don't be that type of person Who's always
gossiping about someone, mocking someone, telling someone what
they heard about someone else.
Why are you why are you interested in
this?
Why are you why are you doing this?
What's what's the point of this?
Especially for the younger generation.
This happens a lot when you're young.
It happens less when you're a bit older
But it still happens by the way.
Oh for sure.
It's gonna be my age and older and
people still do it It's one of the
Main choices I made in my life early
on.
I don't engage At all.
My wife responded very well.
We got married Did you hear?
No, I didn't hear and I don't want
to.
Whatever you heard about whatever happening, I don't
care Do not bring me any information.
I don't want any news.
The news I get will get me through
Jazeera I like to watch Jazeera.
It'll give me my news.
Any other news I don't need.
I don't want to know I don't need
to hear anything.
Don't bring me what you heard.
I don't care I care nothing about what's
being said.
Learn to do this.
You'll become boring But then they'll stop bringing
this to you and you will live a
better life You'll live a life where there's
less of that gossip and backbiting going on.
Even when it's about you But this person
said something about you.
I know.
I don't care I don't care.
If you care, then when they said it,
you should have said don't say that anymore
Don't say that and lose your relationship with
them.
Don't come and tell me you are now
just you're just causing fitna That's all you're
doing.
You're just now you're backbiting and you're eating
You're eating you're eating dead.
Yeah, you're eating a corpse.
So don't do this.
Get rid of this in your life early
on Especially the sisters.
Get rid of this.
Yeah, you get rid of it.
Remove it from your life Yeah, I mean
completely and if you end up with no
friends for a couple of months So be
it.
End up with no friends for a few
months So you find people who don't engage
in this type of behavior Who are not
Hamas, who are not Masha'in bin Amin
because this is one of the earliest commands
Don't be like that.
Don't live that way.
Don't be a person who removes rumors.
Don't be a person who backbites and engages
in gossip.
These petty human behaviors that ruin social interaction
and social relationships need to be removed from
your life.
Be someone who is Raise yourself above these
things Raise yourself above this nothingness and look
at the bigger picture of life and look
at your direction and where you're going People
have nothing else to do but talk.
They're always gonna talk.
If they're not talking about you That means
you're a complete failure.
If no one's talking about you, that means
you're boring.
You do nothing You're not even worth being
talked about.
No one throws rocks at a dead tree
It's only the trees that are filled with
food that people are ongoingly harassing So it's
normal.
Get used to it.
Stop caring.
People will always be talking.
Just numb it.
Just mute it Let it be.
Wallahi the people who talk about you today
will later on come and seek your friendship
in life They will and you will see
it and mark my words If you're a
successful person who rises above these stuff, meaning
you don't get petty You don't listen to
the word and then go after the person
and they come and say sheikh I can't
forgive this person.
They talked about me and I said Why
are you listening to this stuff?
Why are you listening to what they're talking
to you about?
Why do you care?
Let them do their thing.
You do your thing.
Focus focus focus and see how the person
who once said something bad about you will
later on come and actually try to be
friends with You because people usually talk about
those who they're a little bit jealous of
But they're a little bit envious of or
they have a reason to feel Yeah, any
bad about themselves or human they may be
that we're very predictable creatures Don't waste time
with this stuff focus on what you're doing
in your life and let the people say
whatever they want to say And don't be
amongst those who do that too.
Don't sit around look at other people's life
and make comments Oh, look how he's yeah.
Yeah.
Look how she's dressed.
Look what they're saying.
Oh look at this.
Why are you looking?
Yeah, why are you looking you have nothing
else to do with your time?
You have so much time You're doing so
well, you're doing so well that you have
so much excess time to sit down and
look at someone else's life And what they're
saying and how they're behaving Where do you
get this time from I will buy it
from you.
I would like that.
I need an extra day in the week
I need an extra day in the week
in order for me to survive this life.
I need an eighth day of the week
Yeah, I'll buy it from you.
I'll work I'll give you my give me
time give me a few hours or the
extra hours a day to be with my
kids to relax And do something that's mindless
for a while.
Why do you have time to care about
what other people are doing?
It's very this is not this is not
the behavior of people who are who are
focused Who are driven who are purposeful?
Those who understand la ilaha illallah can't live
like that.
They can't they can't afford to there's too
much to be done.
There's too much risk There's too much.
You have no time.
How do you have time?
Where you find any time to do this?
Hamas in Masha'in bin Ameen Manna'in
mil khair someone who withholds goodness Man now
someone who puts a hindrance or withholds something
We are now on our own right at
the end of the Quran We'll talk about
that in some degree of depth later on
we are now on our own.
They withhold aid here They withhold clear clear
general clear anything a nice word.
Yeah, I mean a nice comment money Time
anything nice anything that's anything that's helpful and
claim they withhold claim They are they continuously
man now is is using a derivative in
the Arabic language that refers to something happening
timing time again Man a little higher meaning
they hold they do it, but they do
it with a lower frequency man.
Not a higher frequency It's always happening.
This person is stingy But now I look
at someone who's stingy was very selfish Who
doesn't like giving credit to other people like
to keep it for themselves?
Less clear for you means more clear for
me less clear for you means you do
you go less farther in life That means
I have an advantage.
I go farther.
I'm better than you.
I can feel better about myself So I
withhold higher because I got free but I
give you something that you do well with
it You better than me, and then I'll
feel bad that you did better than me
So I'll hold back my hair to make
sure you don't do as well as I
did the stinginess and the selfishness More to
din more to din means someone who's transgressive
Yeah, I did that is to transgress or
go after someone or harm someone to perform
boom To perform boom to go after someone
and harm them and cause harm more to
din someone who harms other people whatever whatever
fashion of harm, but Beware of causing harm
in life beware I've acted that beware of
you overstepping your boundaries with someone entering into
their personal space or Affecting their life or
their wealth or their sobriety or their freedoms
or their integrity or their be very careful
Once you cross that line Only God can
help you There's no Shaykh who can help
you There's no fatwa that will save you
only Allah himself can intervene for you To
help you the moment you do everything that
don't you cross that line you harm someone
you're on your own People always come and
ask.
Oh, how do I fix?
I don't know I have no idea Try
Be creative Be creative see if you can
figure out a way to fix your mistake
Because it's almost impossible once you've harmed someone
you've caused them pain.
You've caused them grief How do you take
that back from them?
How do you can you go inside their
heart and remove the pain and the grief
that you caused?
You give them back the time that you
stole from them you can't so once you've
harmed someone, how do you fix it an
Apology, what's an apology?
Apologies the least you can do the apology
is just giving it's just getting your foot
into the right direction of maybe fixing it
But it's not gonna be even remotely enough
So be careful be careful more to them.
Don't be someone who transgresses do what you
will in life But make sure your hands
are clean on the Day of Judgment Make
sure you come you'll be coming there's no
blood on your hands You haven't harmed people
