00:00:08 --> 00:00:40
			So I'm on a cobra huhtala Barakatuhu so brothers and sisters as you know, with the Risa Coronavirus
outbreak, there's a lot of information going out to buy tea and a lot of people have asked for the
measure to provide the statement. So inshallah we are going to be joined by Dr. Arsalan who is a
medical professional. inshallah is going to be saying a statement on behalf of the masjid and also
offering some general advice, so please give him your ears and pay attention.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:22
			With the current rapidly changing circumstances regarding the coronavirus pandemic, as a community,
we need to know how to protect ourselves to reduce the spread of infection and to protect ourselves.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:35
			In line with NHS guidelines, Green Line machines would like to provide you with some advice which we
recommend that you take seriously as the
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:44
			The important thing is that we need to be protecting each other's lives. And this advice is
incredibly important.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			The number one thing that I can advise
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:01
			that Coronavirus is in most patients, a mild disease. However, in certain populations, including the
elderly,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			including those people who have long term, chronic conditions,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:19
			the pregnant and those who have immunocompromised, those who are immunocompromised, the risk of that
infection becoming life threatening is very real.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:29
			And that's why we advise this population of our congregation that at this time you should not be
attending the masjid.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			Secondly,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:43
			those people who have any symptoms of Coronavirus and there are two main symptoms that you need to
be aware about. Firstly,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:51
			if you have a new persistent cough and the second one is high fevers.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:14
			If you have these two symptoms, or one or the other, we recommend that you do not attend the masjid
as he will spread the infection. Instead, as per the guidelines, you should stay at home and self
isolate for seven days and also get in touch with the NHS hotline.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			Thirdly,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			at this time, whilst when we say Salaam we should not be shaking hands.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:47
			This is because the most accepted theory of the spread of infection is why contact an air droplets
and if we are shaking hands, the spread of the risk of spreading this infection is very real. And
therefore we recommend that when we're saying Salaam we can just put a hand on our chest
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:50
			number four
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:03
			we advise that when our congregation comes to the masjid to make a willow at home and to limit the
use of the facilities within the masjid
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:12
			and also as per the NHS guidelines to increase the frequency that we are washing our hands
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:29
			and follow the 22nd rule which is to use hot soapy water and to wash all parts of our hands. And you
can find very detailed diagrams on the websites about how to wash your hands properly and safely.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			Regarding all other Masjid
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:47
			activities, including the five daily Salah, the funeral services, the Friday prayers and our
preparation for Ramadan.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:57
			For the time being everything will continue as it is but when we get further guidance regarding
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			if the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:11
			Government wants to ban all mass gatherings, then we might be changing our stance and therefore we
recommend that you follow our Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter pages.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:19
			As a Masjid, we have also set up the COVID-19 emergency service.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:29
			And this is to help provide support to those people to the elderly, and those people who may need to
self isolate.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:36
			We will be providing supplies such as groceries, medications and other essential supplies.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			But we do need your help and your support and we need your volunteers.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:47
			If anyone is interested, then please go to the masjid reception after the Juma
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:06:04
			Seek out the vulnerable among you. Verily you're only given provision and support due to your
support of the weak.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:14
			as Muslims we place our trust in Allah, an ultimate protection comes from him and through his
remembrance.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:22
			Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran, no disaster strikes, except by the permission of Allah
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			and whoever believes in Allah
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			He will guide his heart
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:32
			and Allah is Knowing of all things now when I come off to LA who got
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			I'm ready to Lahore Baraka
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07

00:09:51 --> 00:10:00
			As you're well aware, we're in the midst of a global event something that's dominating World News
and that is the Coronavirus and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:34
			It's something which I want to speak about today, and divided into three different segments.
Firstly, our mindset and our approach as Muslims, when we deal with something like this, something
which is unprecedented for most of us in our lifetimes, something that most of us have never seen or
experienced. And so therefore, understandably, were slightly unsure as to how we should approach
this issue from an Islamic viewpoint. The second issue is some of the etiquettes that are important
and necessary for us to have. And then finally, some of the rulings as they pertain to us during
these times
		
00:10:36 --> 00:11:20
			over the past few weeks, as we know, and as we've seen, and as we continue to see, the whole world
has gone into a different mode, due to something that as that is unprecedented, and that has taken
place. That continues to be the case. And it is a fast developing, constantly changing scenario.
Something that we don't really experience firsthand because for most of us, we have been blessed by
large origin and fortunate enough, that when issues like this take place, they are often far from
our shores. And they are things that are distant to us. So behind a television screen, or from a
newspaper or website. So we don't really experience this firsthand. But when it strikes, and it
		
00:11:20 --> 00:12:06
			comes amongst us, and it's rampant, and there is real tension, and sometimes even fear within the
community and our people our launch, then it's something that we begin to take very close and very
seriously. And as with all tests, and all sorts of situations, each and every single one of them is
a reminder from Allah subhana wa Tada. But as I've been reflecting on the situation, and its
development over the last few days and weeks, a verse of the Quran continuously comes to my mind.
And it shows to us how fragile our life is, how we have taken things for granted, how the constructs
around us that we have, have given us a sometimes false sense of security, how we often think that
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:48
			things that happen to others won't happen to us, and we won't experience them. And if they show some
things, it shows us how fragile our existence is, despite all of the medicine, technology,
engineering, everything else that we have at our disposal, we as humans are weak, and we're fragile.
And as we see with what's happening with businesses around the world, airlines, hotels, and what's
happening with stock markets and what's happening with generally what's going around, it shows you
how fragile and how weak we are. And Allah subhanaw taala says and sort of fall over the vest that
has constantly be coming back to me over and over again, is a statement of a larger agenda in Surah
		
00:12:48 --> 00:13:38
			fattoria yohannes unterman fukuhara, Allah, Allah who will honey you will Hamid are people you are
the ones who are impoverished in need of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And Allah is rich, free of all
need, Worthy of all praise. In Russia, you will have come to be helping God, if he so will, he could
remove all of you and bring a new creation. One Mother dika Allah Allah hibiya Aziz, and that is not
something difficult upon Allah subhana wa Tada. This verse of the Quran should make us reflect on
how much we are in need of Allah zildjian. And I don't just mean from the point of view of our
wealth, and our economic stability, and our health and just the way that life needs to go one for us
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:20
			to be able to live in a comfortable and productive way. But I mean, how much we are in need of
Allah's mercy and His forgiveness, how much we already need, and desperate and impoverished, for the
gift of a man for belief in Allah subhanho wa Taala simply something that we take for granted. Today
on this day of Friday, there are Masjid across the world. across the world, I don't have a slot to
Juma doors that have been closed have misjudged because their governments have told them that people
can congregate in numbers over 50 or 100, or 200, or whatever it is. This morning, I received a
message from coin to a Muslim country where they have the same thing. The doors of messages have
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:59
			become closed, and it shows us how much we take things for granted. We take our man for granted. We
take a loss blessings for granted. We take for granted the fact that we have access to the masjid
that we can come and pray and worship Allah subhanho wa Taala never in our minds did we imagine that
we would see in the UK, in Europe, in North America in these countries at a time when you couldn't
go for Umrah and a time where you can't possibly come to the masjid a time when you're told there's
no Joomla and if that continues, erodes on a normal bond is only as you know official weeks away.
Now Alonzo did allow us to witness the month of Ramadan
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:43
			We will be in severe need of that month of Ramadan. We will need it to strengthen our Eman and to
build up our faith but it may well be the case that you don't come for the mess to the masjid for
taraweeh that you can come to break your fast in the masjid. There's no one in Salah in the way that
we've become accustomed to. And so many different aspects of our religion are communal acts of
worship. They require us to congregate they require us to come together and show the open bonds of
brotherhood and sisterhood in our religion. But that path possibly can be something which is taken
away from us. How much are we in need of Allah subhanaw taala how weak are we and remember
		
00:15:45 --> 00:16:32
			Allah when he was commenting on this concept of lftr of need and upon impoverishment before the
larger religion, he said it's true form is when a person realizes that every moment of their life
internally and externally, they are in need of a loss of handle Tada. They are never rich enough,
strong enough, powerful enough independent enough to do anything in their life except by the
permission and the will of Allah subhana wa Tada. And that's how much we need our email. We come
most of us to the masjid. To give ourselves that Eman boost. We come to the Juma because we need
that message that's given from the minbar we need to come together to pray Salah because it gives us
		
00:16:32 --> 00:17:15
			some solace and contentment in our religion with all of the issues that take place around us. And
then if it's taken away from us, we understand how valuable that is how precious it is. And that's
why throughout the origin and in the Sunnah of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in times like
this in times of actual need of will need and will test you see that the guidance of the Quran and
the Sunnah is that these events should turn you back to Allah more. And they should bring you closer
to Allah azza wa jal and make you reflect upon that fragile situation. And that fragile state of a
man that most of us have, that we don't know what event will come and break that connection male,
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:53
			large social keep us hold strong. It is times like this when we see in the or on the lessons and the
benefits from those stories of the prophets and others, who when times like this came, they will
turn back to Allah azza wa jal and that's why throughout the Quran, you will all of the stories of
the prophets irrespective of the trials and the tests, and the nature of the tribulations that they
faced, the common denominator and the single pattern that unites them is that they would all turn
back to Allah making more do making more tober making more istighfar making more equitable, larger
origin, turning back to Allah subhanho wa Taala and that's why even Abraham Allah, Allah said that
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:35
			you see from the Quran, that Allah azza wa jal tells us from the greatest ways of relieving diseases
and pandemics and other tests and tribulations that we face is by doing more good deeds or not less,
and that becomes challenging. In times when you may be told to stay away from congregating stay away
from the masjid don't come so much don't get together so much Ramadan is gonna change and it becomes
more challenging. And that's where it comes to the issue of having that personal strength of a man
of turning to Allah subhanho wa Taala in your personal data, and your personal is still far and your
personal liquor of a large religion. We also used to rely upon ourselves and upon one another, and
		
00:18:35 --> 00:19:16
			upon society in general, that we have become so weakened when it comes to our reliance upon Allah
subhana wa Tada. The hadith of our beloved know how Allah rhodiola one in the center never be that.
The Prophet said, Sal, Allahu Allah he was telling me to do as he was speaking to a group of his
companions, he said, Allahu Allah to kill him. Ilia for other ofan, whom Allah don't make these
people dependent upon me, and he is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, lest I should be too
weak to help them while attacking whom Allah and forcing him for your juicer and her, I don't make
them dependent upon themselves less they should be unable to help themselves want to kill him ill
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:55
			and nasty for your STEM field, what are they, and don't make them dependent upon others, less they
should give themselves more better treatment than they give to others. All of us. We are in need of
Alonzo Joel's mercy, and his forgiveness. And that is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
recommended to us do is that we should be reading every morning and every evening. The eyes that
should be part of your daily routine and from those two hours or two hours that speak about times
like this, of our Lord gives protection and safety and our Lord xojo house relieve these types of
issues that are taking place today. Profit sets on alajuela he will sell him in the head ether is
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			also collected in sooner libido the hadith of Abubakar rhodiola one
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:44
			He said and he gave us the DA Allahumma Rama taka arrojo fanatical Nila nuptse thought for time was
initially shut Nicola La Ilaha Illa and Allah, it is your mercy that I hope that we as Muslims know
that we take on board medical advice and practical advice and everything that you're being told to
do or not to do is something that you should be doing as a responsible Muslim. But what makes us
different is alongside that we have our trust in Allah and our Eman in Allah and our belief in the
last degree and in his knowledge and in his wisdom Subhana Allah Allah, it is your hope that it is
your message that I have hope in so don't leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye and
		
00:20:44 --> 00:21:23
			rectify for me all of my affairs. There is none worthy of worship except you. The Prophet told us
and Allah Allah he was telling me the hadith of Abdullah nor Amaro rhodiola one whom are also in the
sooner we'll be there will that every morning and every evening he would make this throughout as
part of his car. Allah Romania sir Luca rfef dunya will appear on Allah asked for your protection
your well being in this world and the next Allah Romania circle I fall rfef ed and he will dunya
well actually one Manny, our ly asked for your protection and your well being for my religion, my
worldly affairs, my wealth and my family, Allahu mistura to me know it our love veil my weaknesses
		
00:21:24 --> 00:22:01
			and when safety to my fears, Allah whom for the name in beanie the one woman healthy one Yemeni
wangechi Malli woman Philippine foci were all of your automatic and alltel I mean Daddy, Allah
protect me from in front of him, from behind me, from my wife from my left from from above me, and I
seek refuge in your greatness from being punished from beneath me. That is an amazing to her that
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would make every morning and he would make every evening in
the habit of harassment of your loved one in a tournament he he said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said ma'am in abdon you have all of you Saba equally Yeoman woman sir equally Laila
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			Bismillah he loves
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:46
			me he shaved him out of the office as well who was semi well Arlene fell Athan follow the roof of
the Roshi. He said there is not a person who every morning, every evening three times he says, In
the name of Allah with whose name nothing in the heavens and the earth can harm and he's all hearing
all knowing. No one says that three times a morning or evening, except that nothing will harm them.
With that trust in Allah azza wa jal with that he man with understanding you need before Allah by
humbling yourself and showing your poverty before your Lord and creator subhana wa Tada. It is one
of the things that we are desperately in need of. And so what we do is we take the small things for
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:28
			granted, we don't appreciate the blessings that a large surgeon has given to us. And that brings me
on to the second point and that is the issue of articles, the etiquettes that we should have. Our
religion is amazing in the way that we should be acting in the way that we should have etiquette and
mannerisms on a daily basis. And the way that we should be holding on and performing or doing what
we should be doing as Muslims. Our religion is amazing. Much of the advice that you hear that you
heard before the Juma prayer that you hear on TV, from the news and so on those different things
that you're being told to do, or Islamic concepts, cover your mouth when you sneeze, or when you
		
00:23:28 --> 00:24:06
			cough, cough into your clothes instead of your hands. These are Islamic concepts. The Prophet told
us and Allah Allahu wa sallam in the Hadith, or they said rather about the profits on the lower end
he was selling in the Hadeeth, there will be snow, if he used to sneeze, he would cover himself with
either his hand or with his clothing. That's something which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
used to do, washing your hands frequently. It is the sooner in our religion, they you should be
making wudu for every Salah even if you don't need to. It is the sooner to make a fresh order. So
you're washing your hands constantly for 2030 seconds or longer. That is an Islamic concept. Because
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:45
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as you know told us the horror of Chateau Eman,
purification, cleanliness, hygiene, that is half of faith. Allah azza wa jal is pure, and he loves
that which is pure. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us if you need to stay away self
isolate, keep away from people. He told us in the Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim law you read omamori,
Dawn Allah Masha, someone who is sick and Ill shouldn't mix with someone who is healthy. If you have
an illness, where you think that you have something that someone may catch from you by the
permission of Allah zildjian then you stay away from that person that is an Islamic concept of self
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:59
			isolation. And the Hadith also, in our Bukhari and Muslim the hadith of a sherried Hebrew so at the
top of your rhodiola one he companion was from tarrif, from the tribe of bamboo Saif, they came as a
delegation towards the end of the life of the prophet SAW
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:39
			Long while he was selling them on mass, the whole tried to come to accept Islam and to give the
Pledge of Allegiance which involves shaking the hand of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam they
came on mass, but amongst them he says, there was a man who had a form of leprosy, a contagious
illness. They left him beyond the city limits outside of Medina, and they came to the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they accepted Islam and they gave him their pledge of allegiance. But
they said O Messenger of Allah amongst us is a man who we left outside of Medina. For this reason,
this is his situation, his condition. The prophet SAW Allah wa alayhi wa sallam sent to him a
		
00:25:39 --> 00:26:20
			messenger to him in but the buyer cannot afford you the Hadith in Sahih Muslim, we have accepted
your pledge of allegiance, so go back, didn't ask him to come in. didn't tell him to come to the
masjid didn't tell him to come to meet the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, despite the virtues
of meeting the prophet or seldom sitting with him, speaking with him, being in his Masjid, giving
the physical pledge of allegiance to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam we have accepted your
pledge, return home, go back. And that's because our religion has this concept of self isolation. If
you're ill, you're not well, you fear especially when there's something like this going around that
		
00:26:20 --> 00:27:01
			they will people who will be susceptible people who are vulnerable to your condition, to stay away
from them to self isolate, to keep away from those places where that may spread is an Islamic
concept. In 18th, year of the hedgerow in the life of Mr. rhodiola when a plague struck in a sham,
the area of the world Palestine, Syria, that region of the world, known as both our own and worse
and worse is an area in Palestine, modern day Palestine, but it started from from amongst the people
who died or would die in that plane, were some of the senior companions of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, the likes of Abu Zubaydah, mogera rhodiola, who and and many others in the books
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:44
			of Muslim history of our history, it says that over 20,000 Muslims died in that single play. I'm
delighted when I'm able to ask Allah one whom are the famous companion would eventually become the
governor, the governor of this province, whilst the plague was still rampant. He was made the
governor by Rama rhodiola, who and and when he came, as a man of known for his intelligence and his
genius, when he saw the one of the reasons why it was spreading so widely was because people were
constantly together, people were constantly mixing, people will with their families in the
communities always mixing and so it was spreading more he said to them, go and spread out into the
		
00:27:44 --> 00:28:22
			mountains, go out into the desert, go out far away and don't congregate so much. And it was one of
the reasons by the permission of Allah azza wa jal that the plague was lifted. When Armada deola
were unheard what Abdullah Abdullah Amara had done rhodiola Houma, he was amazed by his
intelligence, amazed that he was so perceptive that he saw this pattern, and then he warned people
accordingly. That is an Islamic concept within our religion. So when you're told is best for you not
to shake hands, shaking hands isn't magic, it is some not something which is good to do. But if it
is better for you to stay away from it is understanding the principle of the shadow or that I gave a
		
00:28:22 --> 00:29:02
			hotbar about recently, and that is leaving of what is more harmful, even if there is a benefit in
it. Removing the harm is one of the foundations of our religion. It is one of the cornerstones of
our Sharia. When you're told this is how you behave, wash your hands, cover your mouth. These are
tickets that we have in our religion. It is because what is harmful automatically in our religion
should be prevented to the best of human capability to the extent that our prophet SAW Allah while
he was sitting and told us as you know, when the Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim monocle I'm in here
the shahzada you're on your thumb, flyer, problem, MSG, Danna. Whoever eats from this plant meaning
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:43
			the garlic plant, or in the other generation garlic and onion, then don't let him come to the masjid
in one of the weddings of the Hadees because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam finally mela he
created the other we may have to add them in who knows because the angels are harmed by that which
harms other people. And by the opinion of the vast majority of scholars, it is not haram to eat
garlic or to eat onions and come to the masjid. But it is severely disliked because of this Hadith
of the Prophet SAW Selim harms people who harms angels, that is a harm that is something which
emanates across people, and so therefore you stay away from the masjid and if that's the case, from
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:59
			just eating something like garlic or onions, then what about when there is a serious and we'll
danger, something which people need to be aware of. So our religion is that amazing religion that
contains within it mercy and guidance from Allah subhanho wa Taala but also
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:37
			comes to how people live their lives in a safe and comfortable and healthy way to bring those two
components together, to listen to what you're being told and the advice that you're being given. But
then at the same time and more importantly to have that strong foundation of the man, to turn back
to a large surgeon in times like this, to make dua, to Allah, to make a still firm and seek
forgiveness for your sins, to give more support and do more good and help those around you that are
in need of how and to ask Allah azza wa jal by making Vicar to him for his protection and for his
safety. That is the way that we as Muslims should respond during these times when Allah xojo that he
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:50
			keeps us and our families and our communities safe barakallahu li walakum to her and he was soon one

00:31:21 --> 00:31:57
			The third issue that I wanted to deal with in today's what were some of the rulings that either
already applied to some of us who may well apply within the near future. And again, it is from the
beauty of our religion from the things that we take for granted. How amazing our Sharia is that we
have within it these principles and these rulings, from which we can deduce the things that we need
in order to apply them to our situation. We often take for granted the etiquettes of the Quran and
the sun and the rulings of the Sharia and the principles that have been laid down and established by
the scholars of Islam. Something which we take for granted, we don't really pay much attention to
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:39
			it, but in times in situations like this, this is when we are all in need of that type of guidance.
The first issue therefore, is as it relates to congregational prayer and Juma prayer, and you may
have heard this already, but just to stress and re emphasize. It is people who have symptoms of
Coronavirus who fear that they have symptoms of this virus. They shouldn't come to the masjid. Not
that it's not disliked or maybe the the insurance is, according to some scholars haraam. The senior
scholars of Saudi Arabia gave a fatwa recently saying that it is haram for them to come to the
Muslim and that as his basis in the Sharia. It has a basis within the evidences of the Quran and the
		
00:32:39 --> 00:33:17
			Sunnah, based upon those principles that I mentioned to you all stopping and refraining from harming
others. We have within our community, people who are highly vulnerable to this, our elders, people
who have underlying health, serious health conditions. For them, they shouldn't come to the masjid,
not for the Juma prayer or not for the congregational prayer. They should pray at home. And anyone
who plays the gym, I pray Our home prays for Rockers, they pray, Lord, you don't play jamara home,
you don't have your own football, your own Salah Xiomara will follow it online or from the internet
to YouTube. You pray, Lord for a couch as you would usually do. Those people should stay away from
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:57
			the masjid number two people who is not necessary for them to come to the masjid anyway, our
sisters, children, travelers, people who start to Juma and Gemma is not even an obligation upon them
on the opinion that jamara is an obligation upon Muslim men. Those people should stay away from the
master that I know that's difficult to do. And I know that it is hard to do and we enjoy coming to
the masjid and congregating but it is from the Messiah of the Sharia, from the way that the Sharia
looks at these issues, that those people it is better for them to stay away from the masjid and they
can follow the footman line and they can listen to the Sala online and so on. But it is better for
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:37
			them to stay from the away from the masjid number three. If you're in that position, even though you
may be young and healthy, but you're fearful that if you contract our illness, you have elderly
people in your household that are dependent upon you that need you in order to look after them and
for their well being. Then it is allowed for you it is a rasa a concession for you to also stay away
from the congregation on Juma masala and these are major changes for the vast majority of us. But
whilst them until the situation calms down and it stabilizes, those are rulings of Islam, not from
me, from scholars of our religion from Saudi Arabia and other places who have spoken about this
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:59
			issue at length. For those people to stay away from the mystery. It is allowed for them to do so in
my personal view and opinion, it would be prudent for massage to shorten the Juma prayer as they've
done in other places across the world. It is also the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam that he would give a short hotbar and it's something which we're not accustomed to that
someone comes and does a 510 minute walk.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:38
			But we do the salon were done in 15 minutes. But that was the practice of the profits on a lower it
was still it is what that would be short, concise to the point and he would establish the salon the
people will leave, there is a prudent thing to do, because the situation may well be coming where we
can't gather in large numbers like this for prolonged periods of time. There will be other issues
that also affect us as Muslims. funerals is one thing that may well be affected if you're ill will
suffer Satan, someone in your family passes away, how to deal with the issue, how to wash the body
shroud the body in those times and those places are things that we also need guidance for. But this
		
00:35:38 --> 00:36:17
			is not the time and place to go into that in detail. All of these issues are rulings that we require
as Muslims and inshallah I will massage it our moms our institutions will give that guidance as and
when appropriate, so that we know how to deal with this issue. I want to conclude by stressing and
reaffirming the point that I began with that these are times in which we are more than ever in need
of Allah's mercy and His forgiveness. And we are more than ever in need of understanding and knowing
how fragile our state is. Yeah, you are not one to mourn for Arambula or people you are the ones who
are in need of a large social and unlock concludes the verse by mentioning two of his names and
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:58
			attributes number one, that Allah is free of all need. Allah is rich, Allah doesn't need our ibadah
and Allah doesn't need our Eman And Allah doesn't need our do our or our Vicarage tober it is really
the need of a large village and a number to Allah gives us the solution that is Hamid Worthy of all
praise. So in these times we should praise Allah more thank Allah more turn to Allah more make to
our to Allah azza wa jal more, as was the practice of the prophets and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam was for large xojo on the splashy day of Joomla, from the explicit place in mustard and
house of Allah zildjian that Allah protects us and our families and our communities that alarm
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:35
			social kills those from amongst us that are ill, and relieves the symptoms of those of us who are
suffering that Allah subhanaw taala keeps our elders and the vulnerable amongst the safe that Allah
subhanaw taala preserves us and our health under a large social relieves the situation and brings a
cure to it. Whereas Allah xojo that he shows his blessings and his mercy and forgiveness upon us as
a community with a large surgeon that he allows us to use this test as a means of drawing closer to
him as a means of strengthening our Eman as a means of increasing in our ibadah and our worship in
our da in our Vicar was Allah so that he doesn't make this test a means of shaking and weakening our
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:57
			Eman of us becoming distanced from him. subhana wa Taala as a means of shavon coming with his
whisperings and his traps and making those people who divert away from the remembrance of Allah azza

our ranks and purifying and exploiting our sins in the whole Jordan Kareem was sort of
