Ahmad Kutty
AI: Summary ©
The transcript discusses the history and implications of the Hadith, which is a situation where Muslims try to engage with Muslims in safe locations, leading to the loss of their freedom of action. The importance of practicing Islam to avoid oppressed and persecuted is emphasized, as it is required to avoid seduction and trial. The sharia law is not applicable in India, and the situation where all non- Muslim countries are free to prayer and pray is seen as obligatory. The sharia law is not applicable in Europe, Canada, and North America, and the situation where every non- Muslim country in Europe, Canada, and North America is now a structural structural problem.

The question is, need some explanation? I need some

00:00:16 --> 00:00:21

explanation on the Hadith where it is said that migration from a

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

Muslim country,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

Islamic country or Muslim majority country to a non Muslim country is

00:00:27 --> 00:00:33

prohibited. Can a Muslim from a non Muslim country bracket India

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

migrate to another non Muslim country? That Canada?

00:00:38 --> 00:00:43

I think, brother who has asked this question is referring to the

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

Hadith to a hadith, which

00:00:47 --> 00:00:52

is reported on the authority of God, Ruben Abdullah, rally Allah

00:00:52 --> 00:00:58

Allah, and it is recorded by Muslim and a few others, that the

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

best narration

00:01:02 --> 00:01:07

in caramelly, we say is Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam send an

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

expedition to her thumb. And,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16

you know, they were fighting Islam and Muslims. And when Muslims were

00:01:16 --> 00:01:22

trying to engage them, some of them rush to make sujood you know,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:27

in order to defend themselves to give an impression, they are

00:01:27 --> 00:01:34

Muslims. So, but Muslims thought they were simply pretending. And

00:01:34 --> 00:01:40

so they, you know, engage them in battle and kill some of them. And

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

then Prophet sallallahu wasallam asked them to give half of the

00:01:45 --> 00:01:50

conversation, you know, the blood money do because of the doubt

00:01:50 --> 00:01:57

involved? And then he declared, I am innocent of every Muslim who

00:01:57 --> 00:02:02

recite chooses to stay in the middle of the Mushrikeen in the

00:02:02 --> 00:02:07

midst of the mystery Cain, and when question why is replied,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:13

because, you know, the their fire do not resemble they're not you

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

cannot distinguish one from the other.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:22

This Hadees has been taken by some groups, and they run with it, even

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

though it is specifically referring to a situation of

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

warfare between Muslims and non Muslims, especially the pagan

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

Arabs, who declare war against Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

salam, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

not allowed to practice Islam in Makkah.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

And because they were persecuted,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:53

although he preserved He was patient for some time. So the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:58

situation get from bad to worse, finally allows one out Allah

00:02:58 --> 00:03:04

allowed Muslims to migrate to Medina. And when the prophets are

00:03:04 --> 00:03:09

allowed us and them, you know left to babka. He said, You are the

00:03:09 --> 00:03:15

dearest place to my heart, and you are the best place that one can

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

recite on the face of the earth. If not, for my people are not

00:03:19 --> 00:03:27

forcing me to go out, I will not have left it. So the concept here

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

is Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and the Sahaba left for forced to

00:03:31 --> 00:03:36

leave Baca, where they were born and brought up. And then after

00:03:36 --> 00:03:43

possessions and properties there, because of fitna, they were facing

00:03:43 --> 00:03:48

this test in their religion. And it was hard for them to hold

00:03:48 --> 00:03:55

firmly to the religion. So you know the situation this is the way

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00

every companion every sahabi, every one of the authentic

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06

Imams, and the eminent scholars have interpreted this situation

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

that Muslims are allowed

00:04:09 --> 00:04:15

to live in any place they want, because our Lord Allah will abide

00:04:15 --> 00:04:21

by the law. The word belongs to allows one over Tala and the

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

creation, the humankind are the servants of Allah. So leave it

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

wherever you feel safe and secure. And you can practice your

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

religion. And this is what you know if you read all of this

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

verses in the Quran, where Allah subhanaw taala asked the question,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

first of all, you know, under the in Africa, for whom Monica, the

00:04:42 --> 00:04:47

angels when the season the soul of those who were oppressed, you

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

know, and yet and because of being oppressed, they could not practice

00:04:51 --> 00:04:56

the religion. So the angels will ask, and I'm talking normal law he

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

was Yeah. They said we were

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

Salafi and we were oppressed, we had no choice. So the question is,

00:05:04 --> 00:05:09

wasn't the earth of Allah you know, washed and why'd you put on

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

migrated? Of course, this was specifically referring to the

00:05:13 --> 00:05:18

situation in Makkah, where Muslims were oppressed and persecuted.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

They were prevented from practicing the religion. So those

00:05:22 --> 00:05:27

who have can afford to live Mecca, to Medina to Rasulullah Salallahu

00:05:27 --> 00:05:32

Salam, where one could practice religion freely, and if you didn't

00:05:32 --> 00:05:38

do that, having had the ability to move, you are allowed him you are,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:44

you are a grave sinner. And this does not apply to anyone who is

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

living choosing to live in a place

00:05:47 --> 00:05:53

where he is completely safe and secure in regards to his life, in

00:05:53 --> 00:06:00

regardless position is owner and religion and he can establish the

00:06:00 --> 00:06:05

rituals the symbols of Islam, without any fear of anyone in the

00:06:05 --> 00:06:10

inner interfering with his practice. So if that is the case,

00:06:10 --> 00:06:15

he is free to live wherever he wants. Omar moving

00:06:15 --> 00:06:20

internationally, Alana was asked the question, are we supposed to

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

oblige to bake Hegira? No.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:29

I shall allow no replied. No more Hijra after mocha has been fallen

00:06:29 --> 00:06:35

as been conquered by Muslims. We know they were asked to leave

00:06:35 --> 00:06:40

Makkah, if irregular be dini. Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam a

00:06:40 --> 00:06:46

person was living or fleeing with his religion to rasool Allah Islam

00:06:46 --> 00:06:50

to be free to practice religion, commanding on this beautiful

00:06:50 --> 00:06:56

Hadith, Hydra, alas calorie, the who is known as the Ameerul

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

movement in full Hadith. In fact, wholebody says,

00:07:00 --> 00:07:08

I shall Allah wanna terraces that Hegira is only prescribed because

00:07:08 --> 00:07:14

of how fitna when there is a fear of sedition and trial tests in

00:07:14 --> 00:07:20

case of being forced out of our religion, pressure put against

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

call being caused to leave a religion. So we're who como yo do

00:07:24 --> 00:07:29

Roma, I love to hear the rule, rewards with Allah. So where there

00:07:29 --> 00:07:34

is a reason you are persecuted in practicing your religion, then you

00:07:34 --> 00:07:39

must leave as long as you find a safer place. But if that is not

00:07:39 --> 00:07:44

the case, Lam tangible later I will know I know he'll he German

00:07:44 --> 00:07:49

No, it's not obligatory for him to make a gyro Omen Omen some I'm

00:07:49 --> 00:07:55

Carl Marwadi. Therefore my word he says, is Kira yulara. Dean if he

00:07:55 --> 00:08:01

buried him rather Cofer. If he says he goes on to say my

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

worldview the political theories of Islam and Greece color a shaft

00:08:04 --> 00:08:10

of a Sufi school and author of many works. If a believer a Muslim

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

can practice his religion in the country where majority are non

00:08:14 --> 00:08:19

Muslims by the fact that he's able to practice his religion freely.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

That place has become virtually like $1 Islam for likoma to fiat

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

Alfa Romeo relative in ha So staying there is better than

00:08:30 --> 00:08:35

leaving that place. Because from his stay there, many other people

00:08:35 --> 00:08:41

may be guided to accept Islam. And we have so many other Hadith from

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

Rasul Allah Himself Salah Julio Salam, which establishes this

00:08:45 --> 00:08:50

beyond a shade of doubt. You know today according to your AUSA tub,

00:08:50 --> 00:08:55

Ronnie as well as we burn, for they came to Rasulullah sallallahu

00:08:55 --> 00:08:59

Assam man called Houdek and he told him here in the Himalayas or

00:08:59 --> 00:09:05

Munna Unno Mala Mahajan. halacha. They are saying to me that if you

00:09:05 --> 00:09:09

don't make Ijarah you are you perish for Cairo Rasulullah

00:09:09 --> 00:09:13

sallallahu Sallam the Messenger of Allah told him your foot ache

00:09:13 --> 00:09:19

after Miss salah, establish Salah artistica and offers the cat Why

00:09:19 --> 00:09:23

would you sue and shun evil was convened merrily home you could

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

choose to live wherever you're comfortable from the land of

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

your own people. And in another Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu

00:09:34 --> 00:09:39

Sallam told in Arabi In our counter Salah wa treatise Zakka

00:09:39 --> 00:09:45

for under Mohammed urine we will have Rama if you are too free to

00:09:45 --> 00:09:51

establish Salah and give the Zika then you are a true muhajir even

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

though you did not leave your place while you motorable have

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

Rama even if you die in the land of your mama, which was totally

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

out of

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

For at that time when the Prophet spoke, so that is why Imam Shafi

00:10:05 --> 00:10:10

Rowley, Allah will know says the great Imam will look to Rasul

00:10:10 --> 00:10:15

Allah Allah an affordable Hijra Allama nataka in nama who alarm on

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

foot in R and D. It is very clear from the Sunnah of the Prophet

00:10:19 --> 00:10:24

sallahu wa salam, that the obligation to make Hijra is only

00:10:24 --> 00:10:28

on those who have been persecuted, who have been pre rendered who

00:10:28 --> 00:10:33

have been coerced against practicing the religion. So this

00:10:33 --> 00:10:39

is the eminent scholars and the fatwa of all of these colors that

00:10:39 --> 00:10:45

are recognized by Muslims. So, of course, they can quote fatwas

00:10:45 --> 00:10:50

after fatwas of prominent people. The short reply is that Muslims

00:10:51 --> 00:10:57

have followed this. And because of thanks to this, Muslims went to

00:10:57 --> 00:11:02

Indonesia, no soldier when they recited them in the non Muslim

00:11:02 --> 00:11:07

population, their vast majority of them, Hindus, the majority

00:11:07 --> 00:11:11

converted to Islam, because of the Muslims going in the setting down.

00:11:11 --> 00:11:16

In China, millions of people converted to Islam, because of the

00:11:16 --> 00:11:20

merchants and the traders, and the Sufi scholars and saints who went

00:11:20 --> 00:11:25

there. The same thing with many, many countries. I come from South

00:11:25 --> 00:11:31

India, where Muslim Arab traders came, and the Sufi sheiks, and

00:11:31 --> 00:11:35

household member members of the Prophet's family came and settled

00:11:35 --> 00:11:40

down and intermarry with the local population. So the majority in my

00:11:40 --> 00:11:43

part of malaba are Muslim or Hamdulillah, we have a very

00:11:43 --> 00:11:47

thriving Islamic community, they're establishing all of the

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

rituals of Islam. Of course, the Sharia law is not applicable

00:11:51 --> 00:11:57

there, because it is still non Muslim country, India is majority

00:11:57 --> 00:12:01

non Muslim. So it's a secular country. Now, if you look at

00:12:01 --> 00:12:06

anywhere in the world, in Europe, and Canada and North America, we

00:12:06 --> 00:12:12

have an institutional so this is a situation where all our everyone

00:12:12 --> 00:12:16

is free to prayer, there is freedom of conscience, it's a

00:12:16 --> 00:12:21

multicultural, pluralistic society. So the situation where

00:12:21 --> 00:12:25

some scholars said, you know, the binary, you know, division of the

00:12:25 --> 00:12:30

wall, into Dar Al Islam, and our hub does not hold. And that's why

00:12:30 --> 00:12:35

Marvel himself was forced to change the definition. I myself

00:12:35 --> 00:12:39

presented this case in the court here in Ontario. Based on this,

00:12:39 --> 00:12:43

they released that man, who were accused of being a terrorist,

00:12:43 --> 00:12:49

because the, the, the, you know, the prosecuting side was citing an

00:12:49 --> 00:12:54

Islamophobic expert on Islam, who said, according to Islam, there is

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

only God or Harbin dar or Islam, I caught it. Moreover, the hijab and

00:12:58 --> 00:13:03

others know the situation has changed. Now, even as the judge

00:13:03 --> 00:13:07

who is a Christian, I told you how you are free to practice and

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

preach your religion as a Christian, I am free, I have been

00:13:10 --> 00:13:15

doing it in this country for over 40 years, I said to him, and of

00:13:15 --> 00:13:20

course, they were convinced that Islam does not teach us, you know,

00:13:21 --> 00:13:26

to leave a place where we are free, actually, by staying here

00:13:26 --> 00:13:30

and practicing Islam, and showing the beauty of Islam through our

00:13:30 --> 00:13:34

words and actions and behavior, Inshallah, people will be

00:13:34 --> 00:13:39

attracted to Islam. And this is what the Muslim wisdom has a prac

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

learn Muslims have learned from the wisdom. And of course, there

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

were some exceptions in some cases, and that is only

00:13:46 --> 00:13:50

contextualize a specific situation. So now the world is

00:13:50 --> 00:13:55

different. Pluralism and multiculturalism is an it's a

00:13:55 --> 00:13:58

principle followed by many of these countries, so there is no

00:13:58 --> 00:14:02

need for us. And finally, I want to make a point, there was a study

00:14:02 --> 00:14:08

made, they distinguish the Israel criteria of specifically being

00:14:08 --> 00:14:13

Islamic, especially the social justice, and they cited four or

00:14:13 --> 00:14:18

five principal values. And they studied all of them country's

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21

Muslim and non Muslim. And you know, all of the Muslim countries

00:14:21 --> 00:14:25

failed, because there is no justice, there is no

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

accountability, and there is persecution.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

So, the number one

00:14:31 --> 00:14:35

country that paths are of the tests of the valid Islamic

00:14:35 --> 00:14:38

criteria, number one was New Zealand

00:14:39 --> 00:14:45

and the Muslim country even even Malaysia came, you know, Gruder,

00:14:45 --> 00:14:50

but it came very, very further further away in the lowest but

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

other Muslim countries. No other Muslim country passed any of those

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

tests. Because there is no accountability. There is no

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

justice. So how can you say that

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

Have you from Canada should migrate to a Muslim so called

00:15:04 --> 00:15:09

Muslim country where you are check, you have no freedom. You

00:15:09 --> 00:15:14

cannot feel safe, whether you will live tomorrow, your family will be

00:15:14 --> 00:15:19

safe. How many of these great scholars are in jail, and many of

00:15:19 --> 00:15:23

them have disappeared from the face of Europe. So let us stand

00:15:23 --> 00:15:27

the last one Ottawa, we are here in Canada, we enjoy the rights

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

here and read that constitution of Canada. I have done it on the

00:15:31 --> 00:15:37

member. And I said this document should be in every Muslim country.

00:15:38 --> 00:15:43

I wish they practice it because this enshrines the social ethics

00:15:43 --> 00:15:48

of the Sharia, the soul of the Sharia, the way we should run this

00:15:48 --> 00:15:52

country, we have lost one author helps us to understand and let us

00:15:52 --> 00:15:57

not get carried away by the extremists who are trying to

00:15:57 --> 00:16:02

implement their agenda by preaching that something which

00:16:02 --> 00:16:06

they did not learn. It is, you know, people with a demagogue

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

political demagogues who is not trained in Islamic sources, who

00:16:10 --> 00:16:14

are giving this kind of fatwa, Allah subhanaw taala help us avoid

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

having to rely on tangling the last one Ocula every Muslim in

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

Canada should tanglers Monica, we are in this country enjoying the

00:16:22 --> 00:16:28

rights which I cannot enjoy in my own birth country, even India. Of

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

course, India is much better in many ways from other Muslim

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

countries. But yet I don't have this. I don't have this kind of

00:16:34 --> 00:16:37

freedom anywhere else in the world. We have lost one out there

00:16:37 --> 00:16:42

help us to appreciate what we have, then we can of course, I am

00:16:42 --> 00:16:46

not saying we are perfect here. And it is our duty to stand up for

00:16:46 --> 00:16:50

the truth and justice as mandated by the Canadian Constitution and

00:16:50 --> 00:16:54

Charter of Rights. We should fight for our rights, of course in in

00:16:54 --> 00:17:00

the legal way in the way that is approved by Islam, the wisdom wise

00:17:00 --> 00:17:05

preaching and Inshallah, by writing and speaking inshallah.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
