			Smilla Soleimani Muhammad sallahu wa barakato Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah
he Wabag rubbish orally soldering USMLE Emily Hello Dr. Melissa Annie have only
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			been as a denial many occurring
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			firstly, I wanted to actually welcome a guest we have a brother ionic in over here somewhere
		
00:00:26 --> 00:01:03
			right here. So he prayed with us, he's here to see how Muslims are and, and you know, learn a little
bit more about I rented the car, you know, we rented the car from him and then he's like, Hey,
you're in the man. I need to come to your mosque. Come on down. So he's here, show him some Muslim
love. You know, so especially love so you know, you're gonna get a lot of hugs. And if you're a
COVID sensitive, you better put a mask on but you know, we, you know, we're gonna still hug so, so
he's here he's, you know, very interested in you know, just wanting to swans to explore and see. So
Inshallah, this is your place, you can come down anytime, as Uncle Watson was telling you, there's
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:16
			other people who come and read Quran to very open, just come on down anytime, feel free to connect
Inshallah, like, today, I want to talk about this. This is not a shamanic class today. But it's a
very important issue.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			And this is the recent
		
00:01:20 --> 00:02:03
			events that took place in Houston, Texas, how many of you are aware of that? In Michigan medium?
Okay. So the context to that is as follows. There's a very prominent chef, Imam Suhaib Webb, who's
supposed to becoming one of the months for us over here in sha Allah in the community. He was giving
a lecture and there's one particular young guy online, who a lot of our youth follow. He goes by the
name of Daniel Haqiqa. Jew. And you know, he's been saying things right and wrong. That's not what
we're here to discuss. That is with Allah subhanaw taala in their own regards, we can talk about
that. But we're here to discuss about this this element of
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			speaking on the deen when you don't have knowledge.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:25
			And how this has become such a rampant problem in our society. Okay, someone shared I think four
days ago, some screenshots of somebody within the community and they're like, Oh, I asked them this.
And they said, This is haram.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:56
			Just a text message. You didn't even think about it. Right? For anybody to give fatwa, right? They
have to go through the training of the fatwa training is different. Oh, my will do break. That's
simple. Like but when it's like a technical issue, like you know, this is a card and my 401k got
connected to this and I'm at 65 and all these technical things. Is this halal? And Haram is this,
all of that that requires somebody who goes through a classical training of the mindset of a Mufti?
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:09
			Okay, many you came to if you remember, you came to me about some question. I said, What did I tell
you? I don't know the answer. But I can talk to a Mufti. I can talk to you and then get an answer to
you. Right. It's not about knowing everything. But it's about knowing what you don't know.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:41
			It's about knowing your limits, and saying, I don't know. I don't know. And I think two days later,
I came back to you and I gave you an answer. And my initial answer, if I had given you would have
been completely wrong, right? Because I didn't have that. Then I went and asked the Mufti and he's
like, okay, he asked this question and this question and this, and I asked you further
clarifications? Can you clarify this? Can you clarify this, can you, then you can come to a
conclusion, and then he's like, Okay, this is allowed or not. But today, we're not talking about
this. So what happened was he he said to him, if you have an issue with me, why don't you come and
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:58
			talk to me directly, and he showed up in the masjid then there was an entire scene, it was all over
social media. It was really bad PR for Muslims. You know, but again, in that whole thing, the issue
was somebody who should not be speaking on the matters of Diem, or speaking about the scholars.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:37
			I mean, Imam Suhaib Webb is not your like, you know, yeah, he's like, you know, a rookie in the in
the game. I was 16 when his Mothers of the Believers CD set was found in shops in Canada. When I was
16, and 17. Like he goes back then, he's been serving the community what like, I saw almost 27 years
plus that he was the only non Muslim a new Muslim convert who was appointed in as her to give to us.
So there's other has these knows like, you know how you have this one, window one arch two, you can
literally go to a window, and you can get and he was the one who was giving fatwas in Arabic
language in as her
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:52
			that's not a small feat for them to accept somebody like that. So he's not a your average Joe of the
park. Right. He's somebody who's well learned you may have differences with him. So what has
happened right now? Allah subhanaw taala. He says,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			In the Quran, WA Takuro the man tells me for a sinner to come. And Kariba ha ha
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:33
			Well how the Haram don't fabricate and say things that your tongues have fabricated that this is
halal and haram. What's the fabrication? The fabrication is that you, you and I, we are not Maltese,
right? Basic rebar that sure I can guide you. But when it comes to the matter of if that if you
remember ask any of the board members when you were there with me you remember on that Karachi bros
meeting. I said, What are you guys going to say? If I tell you that I'm not going to get fat or what
did you say? The brothers that he said I would rather have you say that then jeopardize your
alcohol.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:06:15
			And I was very upfront on that right there basically Baghdad shore fatwa is a completely different
science, okay? And taking a fatwa and transplanting it somewhere else, or I read this online let me
share this on the WhatsApp group. Or there is an opinion I'm going to share an opinion on the
WhatsApp group with some you know transcribed fatwa of a questioner that was in a different land his
the man is different. His makan is different, his context is different. And the fatwa giver is does
not even understand the context you cannot apply the fatwas you find online and then apply it to
your society and say, look, look, this brothers doing haram you can't do that. fatwas are not
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:25
			transportable, you cannot translate it is given for that individual for that specific situation in
that specific country for that specific time. And that's it.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:53
			We cannot bring it here. We cannot transport fatwas. Okay. So Allah says do not say this. The
drafter who Allah al Kazim, you want to fabricate lies on Allah subhanaw taala in Medina if the rune
Allah Allah Hill Qibla you flee home, if you fabricate on Allah subhanaw taala things you're not
going to be successful. There is no success for a person who fabricates things on Allah subhanaw
taala and why don't people fabricate
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:24
			my own tiny shorty Cydonia just little bit of benefits, so that I don't feel like you know, people
are gonna say, oh, what kind of Mussolini Are you? You don't even know the basics of the like, it's
like somebody you know, who wears a lab coat of a doctor and hangs a stethoscope and now he starts
giving you are this and you have to take this medicine let me prescribe this. Nobody's gonna accept
that. Just because you're practicing and religious does not mean that you are going to be qualified
to speak on the matters of the dean.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:26
			Okay.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			Then Allah subhanaw taala says,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:43
			For Men of Allah mu who is more greater of a transgressor. manifattura Allah Allah He does Eva.
Somebody who fabricated on Allah subhanaw taala alive.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:03
			Leo, Leo the Lana Serbia right here, so that you misguide people without elmen Without knowledge in
Hola Hola, como Gali. Mein Allah does not guide people who are transgressions of own that is a
transgressor Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was sitting
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			and he said, Let me tell you some of the signs of our
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			Okay, he said,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:19
			Minami Allah Azza referred to me, knowledge will be lifted. People will claim to have knowledge but
they won't have knowledge.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:26
			One was all eligible as knowledge rises, ignorance is widespread.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:59
			And Shakti Allah consumer, Abdullah Abu Musa, I was with Abdullah and Abu Musa kala kala Nabi
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Albania, USA towards the end of our la Yarraman. There are going to
be a time they're going to be days that we're going to witness Yun Zhi Luffy Hill JAL. gehele is
going to descend amongst us while you river ofI Hill Elma knowledge is going to be lifted while
roofie Hill hemorrhage while Harajuku cattle and people are going to kill a
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			lot of killing are going to take place.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:09
			Look at the massacre of the for example, the Rwandan massacre 30 days 1 million people killed with
machetes.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			The entire world stood still nobody said anything.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:21
			Why? Because one black person's nose was bigger than the other. You are a Hutu and you're a Tutsi.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:59
			Why? Nobody knows why you're being killed. And another Hadith Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he
says, in a mama that jailed right before the gel comes, listen to this Hadees This is so scary in my
mind that jolly right before the jobs or preceding the jobs that the doll is coming and right before
that these are the things that are going to happen. seening there are going to be some years of the
word singing is different than singing or there's going to be days of real difficulty, but there are
going to be some years he died and there is going to be
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			lots and lots of deception.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			What seems to be right is wrong and what is wrong seems to be right.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			Well, you can see goofy his sodic
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			the truthful one are going to be beleid
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:24
			hetron heteronormativity, for example, are what are you talking about? That's the thing of the past.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			Right? That's the thing of the past.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			Right? My, my, my friend the other day he was,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:11:11
			you know, he's, by the way, he's going to be coming, Inshallah, and I'm Tom, he's confirmed for the
Labor Day weekend. So he's going to be with us in for the weekend, for the Friday and the Friday
night Halaqa and the Sunday morning cartoons. So, um, Tom is going to be with us. So he was saying
that his wife went and picked up a book for penguins, because his daughter was watching, you know,
March of the Penguins. So it the penguin says and the book and it's like a National Geographic,
nothing to do with political agenda. It says, during the mating season, there are all different
types of penguins. every different type of Penguin feels differently. And he's like, What is my what
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:19
			is my daughter reading, he's like, some penguins prefer to go with other male penguins, while other
female penguins prefer female penguins.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:40
			And this is in your National Geographic book. Now, this is a blatant lie. But provinces that have
said you because they will feel sad, you are the truthful one, we have the values you're going to be
like your guys are wrong, this is a lie. Well, you will slit dako fee He'll cause him and the one
that's fabricating a lie they will be trusted.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:59
			While you're horno fee him I mean, the one you're going to trust that person is going to break your
trust. While your demo no v Hill ha in and the one who breaks the trust the dishonest one,
everybody's going to trust him. The one we should trust
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:07
			is nowhere to be found. And the one we shouldn't trust is everywhere to be found. That is why one of
the
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:24
			you know, political scientists, he said he said the people who should be running for office are
never in office. And the people who shouldn't be running for office, they all hold office positions,
ie public public posts and you know, being a mayor or city and all of that.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			While yet Callum ofI here ro ye Allah.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:46
			And this is the this is the main MCSA of this Hadees while you're at the Qalamoun fee here Rawai
Allah that during the end right before the general Rawai Billa are going to talk a lot
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			further Sahabas they do not even know the word ROI
		
00:12:51 --> 00:13:00
			for Karla warmer ROI, Diarra surah Allah what a row a villa rasool Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam,
all Prophets Allah Allah Salim said,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:07
			Allah I'll for ya sit. These are the ones who break the boundaries of Allah
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:20
			secretly and openly. They're known as people public eyes, they drink they weaponize their voice,
they're constantly breaking boundaries of Allah, either in public or private.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:34
			Yet the Qalamoun fee AnnMarie Lam, they're going to talk about the affairs of people. Public Affairs
is quite sacred literature as well as a car literature you should do this we should do this. We
should do that.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:14:01
			Profits are SallAllahu Sallam he said In another Hadith explaining this word ROI Allah. Allah rasool
Allah He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you have followed up the resentment towards the end of time
you're going to have people that are going to come out Bowman there are going to be a good number of
people. The word co means you're going to be from a select segment of the society. Bowman
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			does to
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:12
			us none. They're very young in their ages. They're immature. Basically. Sofa ha.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			They have really stupid dreams.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:24
			They're so far they're stupid in their minds. And alarm their dreams are just like don't make sense.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			You're all alone. They say
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:34
			mean higher your colinas if you listen to them, nobody speaks better than
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:59
			they are. Thank you. I was gonna come to that you beat me to it. They are influencers of Instagram.
influencers of social media, influencers. People that are talking about Dean about that. The other
day I read a post of this this this woman posting something on Instagram saying or one of the
rights. One of the YG bat of her husband is
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:12
			to provide an answer wajib the way to sustain and provide risk he has to provide sexual pleasure to
the wife on a watch you bet. But we make things wajib
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:27
			and we make things highlighted and she has no business talking about whatsoever about Chettiar but
we've dropped this in there because they're influencers yeah oh no no I'm in Hawaii the only nice
they're going to have the best speeches.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33
			Well, yeah, but our own Al Quran and they're also going to be reciters
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:39
			la Yuja with water RT him but the Quran is only going to be there there Haluk
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			it will not enter their hearts
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			may Allah protect us from that
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:55
			young Morocco and I mean al Islam gamma Yom Maru, Osamu Minar lamea they will leave Islam
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			at the speed at which the arrow leaves the bone
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			Subhan Allah
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09
			for men love to your home
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:34
			and if you mind these my fight the if you find these people, you should fight them if you don't give
them a chance don't give them opportunities to and if the voice has to be written against such
immature people and they're just causing dissent in the community dividing then those are the
individuals that you need to to go and talk to them and take them away from those positions they
shouldn't be speaking
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:50
			and then in another Hadith and this is a very severe Hadees it says prophets of salaam said for a
man lucky at home if you meet them ie from the people who have authority within the cities from
unlucky a home failure to home
		
00:16:51 --> 00:17:09
			you kill these people that's not and then he didn't end over there he said for in Butler home indeed
they're killing a judo nine de la it's a lot of reward for such people. Right so we are going to be
tested with times that are going to be very difficult. This cartel is not you and I by the way.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:17
			Just Just FYI. It's due process. Okay, due process. Okay.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			Roger who I met, and this is a here and so he had Jeremy
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:32
			then the last Hadees so you're gonna say Hakuna mean Amati istilah phone promises some said there's
going to be
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:48
			this dream Allama sofa or we're gonna unite DOMA it's not gonna happen. Promises I'm already said
that. Say Hakuna one. I mean Matthias CDF and there is going to be a laugh in my mama while for
cotton and OMA is going to be divided.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			He already said that.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:18:03
			Then he says, Oman you're seen on coal. Okay, who are these people professors and said the people
who are going to be dividing the OMA there are going to be people with beautiful speech Mashallah.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			But their actions are going to be horrible.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:22
			Well, yeah, Quran Allah Quran, they are going to be reading Quran they're going to be reciters of
the Quran. While your job is doing that Allah it was always without a fee him nothing is going to go
past their throats.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:40
			Yeah, Morricone I mean, Dini Moodle, a Samina Ramin ly as your own data I love O P. He, they're
going to leave the Dean as if the arrow leaves the dean and they're not going to come back to the
dean until if they're given high status and position.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			Home shuttle role Hello.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			There are the wretched and the worst of the people
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:58
			tuba glad tidings to the one who fought them or who stops them from making this damage to the OMA.
Ya rasool Allah ma CMR home
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:03
			provinces Salam Can you tell us what are the some of their signs How do we know if we see them?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			Allah
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			profiter sallam said
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:27
			and again, I don't mean this with any offense, but again this is the Hadith and we have to take this
as is. And this is a sahih Hadith in Jamia and Prophet sallallahu Sallam he says God is all Allah He
was asked massima whom Allah Dally. They shave their beards. Number one
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:57
			was Adolphe and he added while you're still ahead to whom salata who they like haha por lo Animas.
Toki I'll pray they are reminders of the Quran there there are people who are giving Dawa but for
the Salah, they're like yeah, I took him and let's get this done first and let's finish the game
first. Let's finish this first. Let's eat like Salah can come. Okay, so you will have their element
their interaction with Salah is going to be an element of Hakata you're going to find it a little
bit lower than their desires.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:20
			Yeah, do come salata Hoonah Salah to him and provinces Adam said and some of you are going to look
at your Salah and you're going to look at their Salas but when they come to pray you're going to be
like your Metapod Buddha's I pray very bad compared to this person mashallah, what a great person
when he prays Allahu Allah.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:39
			You will look at your Salah as insignificant in front of this person Salam wa CRMO who Marcia was
Yama who mousy? I mean you will fast but you will feel like oh no chance and what mashallah, what
amazing fasting that he does I am such a horrible person
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			that is going to be their sign
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:51
			their sign is going to be abundance of Salah abundance of Kira abundance of CEM in another narration
abundance of salaam
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:00
			but they're of all are going to be very, very different. May Allah subhanaw taala protect us
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:03
			and give us a trophy.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:34
			So what I wanted to say with this was to end that we're going to this influencers thing that you
talked about is a real issue because it becomes very difficult for our youth to know who to listen
to who to talk to. Anybody with a million followers can say something halal and haram. And they're
like, yeah, he has more authority than you who are you to say halal and haram.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:54
			And that's what's happening. It was very sad to see that video where you know, all these youth are
surrounded by like a scholar who has been serving for 30 years your Alma, he's a convert to Islam
converted at the age of 16. And this is how our Shabaab are going oh, and raising voices and talk to
the IRS and are you lost No, he didn't lose.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			He came to stop the harm that this person was doing.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:09
			This person has been speaking about check homers at Manchester yesterday, or the not a person on the
face of this earth that is there that he doesn't speak against publicly.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:28
			So when we see these things, and we have to, you know, raise voice against that, because this is
going to affect our community one day too, by the way, this mind like it's gonna come to our
community. If we think we are somehow protected, nothing is going to happen to us know we're
deceived, it's going to come to us maybe one of our kids is going to be influenced by
		
00:22:30 --> 00:23:08
			so we have to be very careful about the online learning right without any structured education for
our youth because if there are elements coming from a YouTube channel of an influencer and there's
all of these famous ones on UK and stuff and they've made a business out of talking about them and
pointing fingers about them but if you were to ask them and I'll give you an example like one of
those influencers very top influencer I don't want to mention his name, super top influencer. We
were having a conversation and neither than either he said I'm sorry, I don't understand is in the
Quran and Arabic. Can you read it in English? I'm like you're, you're serious. Like you're going out
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:16
			there and talking about Yasir qadhi And Omar Solomon and Hamza Yusuf as being like bald and
Millennial and misguided and you don't even understand the Quran in Arabic.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:31
			And the guy has like 500,000 followers on YouTube and he's like daily bread. That's what he does
takes a lecture of Yasaka the splits it up and say he's haram here. This is wrong here. His entire
aim is in English.
