Bismillahirrahmanirrahim It is customary for humanity from the

00:00:12 --> 00:00:17

time it began that whenever it was hit

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23

or struck with a calamity or Allah had

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

blessed them with a bounty or a victory

00:00:27 --> 00:00:35

that they would create some form of memory

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

or memorabilia or some form of remembrance of

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

that particular day or event Hence, we know

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

that Rasulullah was born for example in Amulfil

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

What is Amulfil?

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

A monument event that took place at the

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

time So the Arabs of that time, they

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

codified it and said, we will call this

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

the year of the elephant so we don't

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

forget Similarly, when Rasulullah S.A.W. arrived

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

in Medina He saw the Jewish people, they

00:01:10 --> 00:01:16

were fasting on the day of Ashura So

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

they said, why are they fasting on the

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

day of Ashura?

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

So they said, well this was the day

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

Allah saved Musa S.A.W. from Fir

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

'aun at that parting of the sea moment

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

that's seen in history and to thank and

00:01:32 --> 00:01:37

to remember that day the Jews fast Hence

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

Rasulullah S.A.W. he said نحن أحق

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

بموسى منهم We have a lot more right

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

on Musa S.A.W. than them And

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

then it is mentioned that for every year

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

to come Rasulullah fasted He fasted, in one

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

narration that he was alive for 6 years

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

and in another narration this was his last

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

year Hence the hadith says that if Allah

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

gives me life till next year I shall

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

fast لَتَسِعْ لَأَسُومَنَّ التَّاسِعَ وَالْعَاشِرَ I would do

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

mukhalafa of the Jews I will fast the

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

9th or the 10th So it is customary

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

for us as human beings If you look

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

at today's history, irrespective of our religion Irrespective

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

of our cultures The days that we know

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

a country gets independence from its colonizers They

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

were free before that But when the colonizers

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

came and enslaved them And now they got

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

so free from those colonizers We mark that

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

day as a form of celebration And this

00:02:32 --> 00:02:38

is the nature of humanity forever It was

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

in this blessed month That Rasulullah S.A

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

.W. with the consensus of all the scholars

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

That he was born on this month The

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

month of Rabi-ul-Awwal This is the

00:02:51 --> 00:02:57

month in which Rasulullah S.A.W. got

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

married to Khadija R.A This is the

00:03:01 --> 00:03:06

month in which the Wahi began And you

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

may ask, wait a minute Didn't the Wahi

00:03:08 --> 00:03:08

come in Ramadan?

00:03:10 --> 00:03:15

As Ibn Ishaq mentions That the Wahi started

00:03:15 --> 00:03:20

6 months 6 months before the actual revelation

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

It was Wahi Ghayr Mubashir Rasulullah S.A

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

.W. would see a dream And he would

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

see what is going to take place tomorrow

00:03:29 --> 00:03:35

Then the next morning that event will take

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

place As you see the sunrise coming There

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

will be no doubt in that event This

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

is the month in which Rasulullah S.A

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

.W. did hijra This is the month, Rabi

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

-ul-Awwal In which Rasulullah S.A.W.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:55

built Masjid-ul-Quba This is the month

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

in which Rasulullah S.A.W. built Masjid

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

-an-Nabawi This is the month in history

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

in which Allah gave him few victories in

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

the battles And this is the month in

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

which Allah S.W.T. decided to take

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

Rasulullah S.A.W. from amongst us Towards

00:04:15 --> 00:04:20

his Janab S.A.W. And that is

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

why Allah S.W.T. says in the

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

Quran Say, O Prophet of Allah, say Say

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

to the people Say, By the Grace of

00:04:29 --> 00:04:34

Allah By the Grace of Allah By the

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

Generosity of Allah S.W.T By His

00:04:37 --> 00:04:41

Mercy And by His Mercy And as Ibn

00:04:41 --> 00:04:45

Abbas, Muqatil and some of the other Mufassirun

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

of the early generation We are talking about

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

the second generation after Sahaba And even some

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

of the Sahaba as Ibn Abbas They would

00:04:52 --> 00:04:57

say, This word Rahmatuhu entails Rasulullah S.A

00:04:57 --> 00:05:01

.W. i.e. Say, By the Generosity of

00:05:01 --> 00:05:08

Allah By His Mercy i.e. Rasulullah A

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

mu'min and a believer has to be happy

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

That Rasulullah S.A.W. came on this

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

day We are talking about this intrinsic happiness

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

that you must feel We must have this

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

That this was the month in which Rasulullah

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

S.A.W. came to us It is

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

a moment of joyous occasion for us According

00:05:28 --> 00:05:31

to the consensus, he was born on a

00:05:31 --> 00:05:37

Monday There is no ikhtilaf on that And

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

as for the specific date on which he

00:05:40 --> 00:05:45

S.A.W. was born There is variety

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

of opinions that exist And each one of

00:05:49 --> 00:05:54

these opinions are predicated on calculations that they

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

were able to do Because all you and

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

I need to be able to calculate What

00:05:59 --> 00:05:59

are we doing?

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

We are counting the number of days to

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

calculate So if he was 63 years We

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

know that Hajatul Wada took place on Juma

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

'ah I just want people to understand how

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

the calculation works It took place on...

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

And when does the Haj take place?

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

In Dhul Hijjah You count from Juma'ah

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

Days backward You peg that day That we

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

know on this day is Juma'ah And

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

on this day is Ashrah Dhul Hijjah And

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

this is the Yawm of Arafah 10th And

00:06:26 --> 00:06:29

then you calculate Now in your calculation there

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

are going to be three scenarios There is

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

going to be scenario one which you are

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

going to do Every single month till the

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

end of the birth of Rasulullah Or the

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

death of Rasulullah You are going to count

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30 all the

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

way back Or you are going to do

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

You are going to do with 29, 29,

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

29, 29 Or you are going to do

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

Half 30, half 29 In all scenarios The

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

date birth of Rasulullah does not fall on

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

12th of Rabi'ul Awwal It does not

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

As a matter of fact One of the

00:07:02 --> 00:07:05

first people who actually brought up this date

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

Was Al-Ibaidiyah This is a deviant sect

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

That existed They were the ones who built

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

Cairo They were the ones who built Cairo

00:07:14 --> 00:07:19

They invented this date Because they had a

00:07:19 --> 00:07:23

certain hatred towards the Sunnah They did not

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

like the Sunnah of Rasulullah So they turned

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

the date of his death As a form

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

of confusion And infiltrated into the books of

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

Sunnah that date And then the Ulama picked

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

it up In the early days they didn't

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

They said this is a case it has

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

been passed down And they didn't do those

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

calculations But today with calculations we can confirm

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

that Now coming to the second point Which

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

is important for us to understand On this

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

particular day When Rasulullah was born On a

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

Monday in Rabi'ul Awwal Whichever date it

00:07:53 --> 00:07:59

was Some things took place On this earth

00:07:59 --> 00:08:04

That had never taken place before Cosmological changes

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

took place And all of them are mentioned

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

Some of them are mentioned in the Quran

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

Right before the birth of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi

00:08:13 --> 00:08:17

Wasallam The passageways to the skies were sealed

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

And if any of the jinns would steal

00:08:22 --> 00:08:26

the news فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ Allah says A

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

blazing star chases that jinn and kills it

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

The skies were fortified Then on the day

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

when Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Came into this

00:08:37 --> 00:08:45

earth Qaisar or Caesars had balakona So if

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

you think about it That we're all sitting

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

here And then there's another stage Which is

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

upper and an upper He had 14 balconies

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

of his audience He used to have a

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

taj or a crown That weighed 90 kilograms

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

You might ask Like how is he putting

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

the crown on his head It was suspended

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

with two chains And he would have these

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

curtains And he would sit on the chair

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

And he would insert his head on the

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

crown And when the curtains would open up

00:09:15 --> 00:09:19

This 4-5 meter huge giant crown Made

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

of gold of 90 kilograms And then the

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

scene that the people On the 14 balconies

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

would see Would be this auspicious person Sitting

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

with this giant crown And it was very

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

huge Like you know awe It would instill

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

awe into the people And many of them

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

would just fall To do sijda to him

00:09:38 --> 00:09:43

All of his 14 balconies They broke the

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

day Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam came on this

00:09:46 --> 00:09:50

earth There was a fire in Persia The

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

same fire that The father of Salman Al

00:09:53 --> 00:09:57

-Farisi Was responsible for making sure That it

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

stays on Duhqan Al-Qariya He was responsible

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

for that fire The father of Salman Al

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

-Farisi That was his job That fire extinguished

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

Extinguished for the first time In thousand years

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

It had never been extinguished It is also

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

mentioned And this is something That you can

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

pick up even in the books Of the

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

Christians In the book The Rise and Fall

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

Of the House of Caesars You can pick

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

this up, pick the book up in Amazon

00:10:28 --> 00:10:34

It mentions That Caesars was a stargazer He

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

had this special acute ability To be able

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

to figure out The celestial signs Of that

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

time and there was an entire science And

00:10:41 --> 00:10:46

he understood that And the night Rasulullah Sallallahu

00:10:46 --> 00:10:50

Alaihi Wasallam Was born He came back to

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

his Balcony and he said The night before

00:10:53 --> 00:10:56

So Rasulullah is born the next day The

00:10:56 --> 00:11:01

night before he tells to his people I

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

saw the star Of the king of the

00:11:04 --> 00:11:09

world Build on the sky this night And

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11

then the next day Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:11:11 --> 00:11:15

Arrived on this earth So there is no

00:11:15 --> 00:11:19

doubt That there is no greater day That

00:11:19 --> 00:11:23

the humanity has witnessed Than the day On

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

which Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Came in this

00:11:26 --> 00:11:32

earth His own mother's account Mentions That before

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

I gave birth To Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:11:35 --> 00:11:39

I saw this light That was emanating from

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

me In a dream that would Illuminate The

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

saddles of the camels Headed towards Sham Towards

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

Levant, Syria and Jordan And the palaces of

00:11:51 --> 00:11:55

Caesar and Rome And the door of Sanaa

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

And the red door of Yemen All of

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

these were illuminated And he saw this dream

00:12:00 --> 00:12:04

Few moments or few nights before Rasulullah Sallallahu

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

Alaihi Wasallam Came into this earth And these

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

are all authentic accounts that we have in

00:12:08 --> 00:12:17

our books Now On this blessed day Rather

00:12:17 --> 00:12:22

than our hearts Being filled With love, awe

00:12:24 --> 00:12:30

Mahaba Jalal Majesty And these feelings And the

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

feeling of utter submission To the way of

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam This day Has become

00:12:37 --> 00:12:41

a source of division Within our ummah And

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

every year this debate Comes up For the

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

last Four months my email is active For

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

people to ask me questions Not one question

00:12:52 --> 00:12:57

Came to me Nobody asked me a question,

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

they asked me either privately Or they come

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

and talk, nobody sent an email And all

00:13:01 --> 00:13:05

of a sudden Like six emails We have

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

to affirm, the others are like We must

00:13:06 --> 00:13:09

deny, we must make a stance This is

00:13:09 --> 00:13:12

bid'ah This is not anybody who doesn't

00:13:12 --> 00:13:17

celebrate This division Wallahi Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

In his grave Is not going to be

00:13:19 --> 00:13:22

happy to see The state of this ummah

00:13:22 --> 00:13:26

like that To see us divide And we

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

don't know anything about his Shamail We don't

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

know anything about what he preferred to eat

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

We don't know anything about How he dressed

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

We don't know anything about How would he

00:13:37 --> 00:13:41

cover his hair Rather we have false misconceptions

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

And when those misconceptions Are corrected People are

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

shocked, oh my god He had four, he

00:13:47 --> 00:13:50

had braids Rasulullah had braids, how is that

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

possible Because we prefer culture Over religion We

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

like culture We like that you know what

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

Just pray salah five times Don't tell us

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

what to do Let us be in our

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

cultural Islam But that's not the job That

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

is not the job The purpose of us

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

Giving these khutbahs is so we understand On

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

the basis of ilm And I thought that

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

inshallah Today we will have a much more

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

Serious conversation And little bit of an intellectual

00:14:24 --> 00:14:28

conversation So we can understand Where both sides

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

are coming from And then what is it

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

The way forward for us Number one Most

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

of the people who Hold opinion And this

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

is not something new in our madhab Just

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

to preface that Imam Shafi'i holds the

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

opinion That it is wajib on every single

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

person Praying in this room that you must

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

read Surah Al-Fatiha when the imam is

00:14:49 --> 00:14:53

reading Surah Al-Fatiha Imam Abu Hanifa holds

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

the opinion That it is haram for you

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

to read that If the imam is reading

00:14:58 --> 00:15:01

Right, nobody fights with one another These are

00:15:01 --> 00:15:05

valid differences That existed on their jurisprudition Methods

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

of how they came to that Deduction So

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

similarly there are two camps One camp says

00:15:11 --> 00:15:13

we must And the other camp says we

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

shouldn't The ones who say we shouldn't Let's

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

study that quickly So their premise is very

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

simple Did the event take place in the

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

life Of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam The answer

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

is yes Did Rasulullah know about this particular

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

event The answer is yes Did Rasulullah Sallallahu

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

Alaihi Wasallam Do something with this event The

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

answer is no Did the sahaba know about

00:15:35 --> 00:15:36

the event Yes, did they do anything about

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

this event No, hence when the first three

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

generations Did nothing with it This form of

00:15:42 --> 00:15:48

anything that we add The event took place

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

In the life of Rasulullah And we added

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

after the first three generations Then that event

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

Or that element or that ibadah Or whatever

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

it is, is considered bid'ah That's their

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

logical argument That's how they come to that

00:16:01 --> 00:16:05

deduction Now the same people So on the

00:16:05 --> 00:16:09

other side The people use the same deduction

00:16:09 --> 00:16:14

methodology And they prove otherwise And that's the

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

beauty of this deen So they say during

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

the life of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Was

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

there Did people recite the Quran with tajweed

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

Yes, did Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Recite the

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

Quran with tajweed Yes, did Rasulullah know The

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

rules of how to recite Yes he did,

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

did the sahaba know all of that Yes,

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

did they put it in a format Of

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

a tajweed book Of ikhwa, ikhfa, idghan, qalqala

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

All of these rules, no they did not

00:16:44 --> 00:16:48

But nobody comes today and says Tajweed rules

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

are bid'ah Similarly you have examples of

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

the 30 juz Quran was not Divided into

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

30 juz In the early days it was

00:16:58 --> 00:17:02

only 4 juz Then it got divided into

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

7 In the people of India and Pakistan

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

That's why if you look, pick up some

00:17:08 --> 00:17:09

of the older Quran That says in the

00:17:09 --> 00:17:12

bottom Manzil, manzil 1, manzil 2, manzil 3,

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

manzil 4 Manzil 5, manzil 6, manzil 7

00:17:15 --> 00:17:17

i.e. you finish the Quran in 7

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

days Then it got divided into 60 You

00:17:20 --> 00:17:25

have 60 hizb And finally Towards the end

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

of Hajjaj ibn Yusuf It was solidified as

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

30 And then from there onwards It has

00:17:30 --> 00:17:34

been 30 So all of these events took

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

place At the time of Rasulullah, he didn't

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

do it None other than the sahaba The

00:17:37 --> 00:17:41

two adhans that you see here Did not

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

take place at the time of Rasulullah Did

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

Rasulullah know that there was An adhan for

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

Juma'ah, yes he did So there are

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

numerous examples The other side gives Using that

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

same logic and says Well this logic does

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

not sustain Because there are events that took

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

place Then the other side presents the argument

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

He said, no no, all the examples you

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

have given Has nothing to do with inside

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

the ibadah It are all external things Give

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

us an example of an ibadah So the

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

argument for the sides Who are pro, they

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

bring the example That when Rasulullah s.a

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

.w. Was leading the salah And there was

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

a sahabi at the back who said what

00:18:15 --> 00:18:19

رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِي

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

مِلْءَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ And the entire hadith,

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

when he said this Rasulullah s.a.w.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:28

turned And he said, who is the one

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

who said this Oh you are the one

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

who said it So the response to the

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

other side Who say that this is not

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

allowed They say yeah but this happened in

00:18:36 --> 00:18:40

the life of Rasulullah So he affirmed That

00:18:40 --> 00:18:44

action He affirmed the action So if you

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

come back to the side who says No

00:18:45 --> 00:18:49

no, wait a minute He affirmed the action

00:18:49 --> 00:18:52

but the question is Did they get Did

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

he get the ajar Before the confirmation Or

00:18:55 --> 00:18:59

after the confirmation He got the ajar before

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

Because Rasulullah s.a.w. saw the angels

00:19:02 --> 00:19:06

Leaping to that person 83 to 89 angels

00:19:06 --> 00:19:10

Trying to document The entire Ajar that he

00:19:10 --> 00:19:16

got In this one transaction And so on

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

and so forth So for us to understand

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

That these are viable differences They have existed

00:19:22 --> 00:19:25

In our ummah from time On end, they're

00:19:25 --> 00:19:29

not gonna end But what cannot Happen is

00:19:29 --> 00:19:34

we use these differences To divide We put

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

comments We deleted that comment But you know

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

just It has nothing to do with my

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

defense but you have to understand Like literally

00:19:41 --> 00:19:45

one of the comment was Where is the

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

person Who dropped off this imam Of a

00:19:47 --> 00:19:51

donkey and left him With our masjid Has

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

nothing to do with me But the point

00:19:53 --> 00:19:57

is this way Of argumentation When we forget

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

the ayat of the Quran Where Allah says

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

وَقُولُوا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا Say to people Not to

00:20:04 --> 00:20:09

Muslims Say to people good speech When Musa

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

a.s. Is being sent and he goes

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

to Fir'aun Or does Allah s.w

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

.t say To who?

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

To Fir'aun None of us over here

00:20:17 --> 00:20:19

are even The slightest in terms of our

00:20:19 --> 00:20:24

disobedience To Fir'aun وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ To Fir

00:20:24 --> 00:20:27

'aun, Musa a.s. Is told what قُولَ

00:20:27 --> 00:20:33

لَهُ قَوْلًا لَيِّنًا Speak softly to him When

00:20:33 --> 00:20:39

we Drop The adab Out of our conversations

00:20:39 --> 00:20:43

For a view that I hold dearly That

00:20:43 --> 00:20:46

is not the way of Muhammad S.a

00:20:46 --> 00:20:50

.w. Whether you are pro Celebrating Mawlid or

00:20:50 --> 00:20:53

you're against If you hold these Views and

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

you behave in that manner You're not from

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

the Sunnah This is not the way of

00:20:57 --> 00:21:03

Nabi Muhammad S.a.w. And the answer

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

to the simple question Well, why didn't the

00:21:05 --> 00:21:06

Sahaba do it in the past?

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

I don't have much time I have 12

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

hadiths mentioned But I will only mention 2

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

so we can understand The first 3 generations

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

They did not need this Why?

00:21:17 --> 00:21:22

Because their state Of connection With Rasulullah was

00:21:22 --> 00:21:24

such That Imam Malik, it is mentioned About

00:21:24 --> 00:21:29

him that ذُكِرَ النَّبِي ﷺ When Nabi S

00:21:29 --> 00:21:34

.a.w.'s Name Was mentioned صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى النَّبِي

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ When his name

00:21:38 --> 00:21:43

was mentioned What would happen to Imam Malik

00:21:43 --> 00:21:48

يَتَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُ وَجْهِهِ He would turn pale Out

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

of the waqar For Rasulullah S.a.w.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

Whenever he would come Out of his majlis

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

It is narrated about Imam Malik That he

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

never wore shoes In Medina Out of the

00:22:01 --> 00:22:05

respect for Rasulullah S.a.w. It is

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

mentioned about Ja'far ibn Muhammad And Sadiq,

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

not the sahabi Ja'far ibn Muhammad and

00:22:10 --> 00:22:14

Sadiq He says كان كثير الدعاب والتبسم He

00:22:14 --> 00:22:18

was a very happy person He would joke

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

around He was really gentle and soft to

00:22:20 --> 00:22:26

kids فَإِذَا ذُكِرَ عَنْدَهُ النَّبِي ﷺ When just

00:22:26 --> 00:22:31

Rasulullah's name was mentioned إِسْفَرَّ وَجْهُهُ His face

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

would turn pale As if all the blood

00:22:34 --> 00:22:38

Has dissipated from his face None of us

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41

Here are at that level So we are

00:22:41 --> 00:22:46

in Desperate reminders So the majlis or Gatherings,

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

this is a season This is a month

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

in which we should Turn this as an

00:22:51 --> 00:22:54

opportunity To teach our kids about Nabi Muhammad

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

S.a.w. We're living in a time

00:22:57 --> 00:23:01

Where belief In Prophet S.a.w. Has

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

been turned into an optional thing For people

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

And this cannot happen So we must wake

00:23:07 --> 00:23:10

up and use These seasons to connect our

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

Our young children, our youth And every single

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

one of us and the older ones To

00:23:15 --> 00:23:18

the life of Rasulullah So that perhaps when

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

his Name is mentioned in front of us

00:23:20 --> 00:23:23

That we feel some form of connection With

00:23:23 --> 00:23:28

him In the end Two things and I

00:23:28 --> 00:23:33

end This is not an Eid For us

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

We have two Eids جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَنَا عِيْدَيْنِ

00:23:39 --> 00:23:45

To believe that this type Of celebration Or

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

this day is Eid for us Is not

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

part of Islam None of the four schools

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

of thought The four fuqaha they have ever

00:23:52 --> 00:23:56

affirmed Yes, to show Happiness on this day

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

is part of our Iman and the ayat

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

about that Are mentioned so many so many

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

وَلِيُوَقِّرُوهُ وَيُوَزِّرُوهُ Where Allah S.W.T. says

00:24:04 --> 00:24:06

That Allah has sent the Nabi for you

00:24:06 --> 00:24:07

Why?

00:24:07 --> 00:24:11

That you تُوَقِّرُوهُ That you do وَقَارَ تُوَقِّرُوهُ

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

To this Nabi So there are enough ayat

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

in the Quran That tell us that.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:18

In the end the correct Manner of remembrance

00:24:18 --> 00:24:22

of Rasulullah S.A.W. Is that If

00:24:22 --> 00:24:25

you start any gathering With some form of

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

Quran And remembrance of some of his shama

00:24:27 --> 00:24:31

'il Wallahi if we read The Kitab Shifa

00:24:31 --> 00:24:34

'a بتعريف تعزيز المصطفى If you read that

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

book, there are not a page That will

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38

go by and many of us If you

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

have an ounce of love for Rasulullah You

00:24:40 --> 00:24:44

would cry Because we have not known him

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

So these are Moments in which we can

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

spend our Family times, put on Any of

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

the speakers that you want I'll post on

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

the WhatsApp group few of the English Lecture

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

series that I think are really good As

00:24:55 --> 00:24:59

a family to watch Listen to, listen to

00:24:59 --> 00:25:01

them in the car And turn this into

00:25:01 --> 00:25:04

a season Every year, not a day But

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

the entire month So that we walk away

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

with at least this level That when his

00:25:08 --> 00:25:11

name is mentioned Nothing but tears drop down

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

from our eyes أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

لي ولكم ولسائر المسلمين فاستغفرو فإنه الغفور الرحيم

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على من

00:25:19 --> 00:25:23

لا نبي بعده In the end We also

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

want to allude To this one factor That

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

many of the sahabahs at the time of

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم They would add

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

things to ibadah Never once asking Rasulullah صلى

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

الله عليه وسلم As was the case of

00:25:35 --> 00:25:37

that sahabi He added something in the salah

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

He had access to Prophet صلى الله عليه

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

وسلم He could have asked before But he

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

said it, you had Bilal رضي الله عنه

00:25:43 --> 00:25:46

Who added what, after every wudu He would

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

pray two rakahs nafl He never went to

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم and asked him

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52

Rather Allah showed Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم

00:25:52 --> 00:25:57

The effect of his Extra devotion In the

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

dream And he comes and he says I

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

saw your footsteps in Jannah Bilal What do

00:26:01 --> 00:26:06

you do Who had the direct access To

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

find out So Bilal رضي الله عنه That

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

tells you and examples are numerous That the

00:26:11 --> 00:26:15

sahabahs understood That when we say the hadith

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

That كل محدسة بدع Every new thing Is

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

an innovation It was not this type of

00:26:21 --> 00:26:25

innovation It was something else Because this hadith

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

happened in the first hijri The examples I

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

am giving you Are towards the end of

00:26:29 --> 00:26:32

Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلمs life So they

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

understood this That not everything that you do

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

In a form of ibadah If you want

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

to make an extra dua In the salah

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

You are permitted as long as you know

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

it in Arabic And you can do it

00:26:42 --> 00:26:46

in Arabic What Rasulullah taught us Is something

00:26:46 --> 00:26:49

as the scholars they say This is the

00:26:49 --> 00:26:52

minimum performance level i.e. everybody else can

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

enter At that minimum level You want to

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

add a dua about a masalah you are

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

having At your job Ask Allah in the

00:26:58 --> 00:27:01

sujood Bukhari says that the person is the

00:27:01 --> 00:27:04

closest To Allah in the sajda You had

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

examples of sahabah Their books have been written

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

Zainul abideen His istighfar There is a 350

00:27:11 --> 00:27:14

page book Of all the different ways he

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

could think of Doing istighfar i.e. presenting

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

his sins to Allah And asking him for

00:27:20 --> 00:27:24

forgiveness So they were not wrong They understood

00:27:24 --> 00:27:27

That our deen has something that MPL The

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

awam would do that But if somebody wants

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

to go And they want to add something

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

to it That is from the deen Not

00:27:34 --> 00:27:37

something created You bring a 6th salah There

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

are 5 salahs, they are established But if

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

somebody wants to pray an extra nafil Because

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

they feel they want to There is nothing,

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

no harm in that As long as there

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

is a premise of that Ibadah in our

00:27:49 --> 00:27:49

religion
