Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, Rasulillah, asmaahi wa Barakatuh,
everyone and welcome back to the ASI weekly Q and A session with
Chef Akram nadwi on Thursday at 6pm BST, after a few week, few
weeks of hiatus. We're now officially back. So Inshallah,
we'll be answering taking your questions from the comment box, so
please do post them there. But before we begin Sheik, we have a
few private questions that have come in, and we'll start with
those. So the first question chef that we have is if it is spotted
in a doctor's report that a child has a genetic deformity, a child,
a fetus, has a genetic deformity, it and it will impact its quality
of life when it is born. Is it permissible to one, either abort
the child, or two, if the technology is available to edit
the genetics to remove the deformity, okay,
you know the only reason that Allah has made marriage,
You know, women and men is at risk to hybrid the future generation.
So that's very important understand. And he's the one who
gives children, and is one of his favor in the Quran that he
mentioned that we favor the people. So people basically
receive the favor of Allah. They should find him and should be
grateful. And when your child sometimes difficulty and problem,
you have to look after the child, and you got to go for that. You
know this life really the task, responsibility and duty. It enough
for enjoyment. So you know, whenever you know, like, for
example, even even if after the birth, if somebody you know born
sound still, your child can have some problem, accident. You know,
legs are broken, eyes gone. You are not going to kill him. You're
going to look after the child properly, and you have loved and
rahma mercy for the child. So just figure it that, you know, if
somebody's child is born and become 10 year old, 515, year old,
and then he got some problem. So nobody is going to say that, you
know, kill him and get rid of him. And Doctor said this, no,
everybody wants to keep him. They love the same thing. Allah has
created a, you know, a creation. We should have a respect for that.
So there's no way that, you know, anybody can allow to kill a child
and, yeah, if you are, can, you know, improve the thing, or, you
know, somehow you can remove the disease and defect. Yeah, that's
good. That's no harm that the doctors can, you know, somehow,
can, you know, make it better?
Genetically? Or anywhere. So that is fine, there will have that. But
what is not allowed it to kill the child,
is Sheik. And the next question on related to a the similar topic is
Sheik, if the child, if the mother's life could be in danger
because she has been diagnosed with a disease called
preeclampsia, which may possibly endanger her life if there were to
be an accident with the child. Is abortion allowed of the child
under if it is under 120
days.
You know, people are allowed to have, you know, those measures
where the women don't conceive. You know that can happen,
preventive measures in those condition, health condition. But
if people, if somebody gets a pregnant,
you know, then just because you have possibility of death or
something, you can't kill someone because killing certainty you're
killing feeling just possibility of something or so. Maybe the
child is born. The woman survived.
If this is very early stage before the child, you know, the baby gets
life in the womb of the mother. Yeah. Then some people allow that.
People can, you know, do abortion if it is so
threatening the life of the mother, if it is before the life,
but what's the life is there, then nobody allowed to take a life of a
creation because of the danger of someone else,
his will. Now move on to the questions asked in the chat box.
So the first question we have is by Faisal Shakir, who asks, Is
eating with the left hand, a sin in Islam,
eating with the right sunnah didn't emphasize very much once.
A
Sahabi was eating the left hand, you know, in the presence of
pastoral Asana. So the Prophet asked me to the right hand. He
say, I can't come to do so the professor became angry and said,
Let's talk. It may never do usually curse. So this is a very
dangerous you know, if people have a you know, people you know can
know this hadith, and then, for no reason, they eat with the left
hand. Then it is sinful. But if they know, you know, if they don't
know, the other forgiven. So Muslims should make effort to
follow the prophesy, because he's sunlight, the most guided one.
So you know, every the professor laughing every time he used to pay
for right in every single matter, people had no nobody had recorded
any time with the professor laughing. Ever ate with the left
hand, or during the water with the left hand or with the right hand.
And that is not all the professor messengers to we should make
effort to insisting on something that really is a sinful if I
personally forgetfully or not. The
next question is by Fariha, who asks in the Quran when Jannah and
Jahannam is mentioned in few places, it's Khalidi nafiha abada,
and in some verses, it's only Khalidi nafiha With Jahannam, is
understood that people won't get to stay forever. They will get out
of Jahannam once their sins are punished. Why with Jannah too?
It's somewhere not mentioned Abu DHA like in Surah, mujalas and in
surah, Guru
khalidin does not mean Abu dhalim means forever, if aside, more so
whenever abada has not come still khaledina will mean forever. That
is the meaning of purity. Gurud means something. It is forever not
enough for is more period. So enough for some time. Quran
mentioned about the let Quran, sometimes Iman and Islam,
sometimes Quran mentioned a son. But if a son is not mentioned,
does not mean you know a son indicated. So Quran does not
mention each condition all the time. You know, when Quran does
not mention the conditions understood, because in faces, if
Quran never said abada, it still means abada all the time. You
know, there's no doubt about that already. And this opinion that
people who are in hellfire, they will come out at some point.
That's not true. It is only for the sinful Muslims, people who are
sinners. You know Muslims, yeah, they will punish, and one day they
will come out. You know, either the intercession of the prophets,
messengers, Christ, people,
Allah will take out. You know, handful people. You know himself,
and we don't know what handful means. You know, we don't know
Allah,
how great is to what I mean by that. But those people who are in
a mushrik far, they will remain in * for forever. They have
nowhere to come out. So that opinion, right? Opinion. And you
know,
nearly everybody, there had been some misunderstanding because of
the some writing of
but otherwise everybody, everybody said the people who are in for God
forever, except
Muslims, as the next question is by Fatiha, who says, Salaam
yashei. Could you please explain what is meant by the term wala Abu
Asmaa kum in general and in specific. And how can we avoid
losing our deed in deeds in vain? The verse, Oh, believers, obey
Allah and obey the messenger and do not let your deeds be in vain.
Surah Muhammad, verse 33 the
Quran has mentioned that sometime you know there are certain sins
which can even destroy your good deeds that happen like, you know,
consider somebody back bites so their good deeds are done. You
know, the person who you backbiting, they will take your
bad deeds, good deeds. So you are praying, but you don't get reward.
Goes somewhere else. So that what it means that the good deeds are
described similarly. Somebody has a disrespect to the Prophet,
sallAllahu, sallam, then his actions are destroyed. Quran
mentioned that, you know, if you are disrespectful to the Prophet,
maybe your actions are destroyed. And you don't know if people don't
realize, so people have to obey Allah's Messenger at a day, this
will be allies, messenger, openly, clearly, with full intention. No
mistake, yeah, it could be that their other actions are also
described, because some sins are so strong they can describe many,
many other good deeds. So believers have to be always
careful. Don't be proud of your good deeds. You know, because
sometimes more actions can describe many, many good tips.
You.
Bar. The next question is by advisor, who asks,
I've read that the number of times we recite a dua has no
significance. But why is that there's beer after Salah 33 times?
33 times 34 and why, in some Hadith, a hadith, there is a DUA
to be recited a certain number of times, you know. Dua is a
different atmosphere, different every time you say, good reward.
So much reward, you know. So the numbers are important to be like,
you know, 100 or 90, whatever. So the different matter. So first
thing understand all, the vicar of B you shift the eyes much as
possible, because whenever you say you know your rewards are
multiplied by many, many times.
Draw the two types. Those duals are for forgiveness of the sins
paradise to be safe from *. For this should be repeated, because
every time we do sins, you have to ask Allah to forgive us. The
professor used to ask Allah to forgive him
70 time, maybe more than that, he used to say so, and also asking
Allah to give us paradise, save us from Bhai, for every time we do
something by which we can be deprived of health, of paradise.
So we have to keep saying this thing,
one day matter. Yeah, it is true. Once you ask Allah give you. There
are other things. So, you know, if somebody ask Allah, Allah give me
job, then he will give you. And then you ask other things to
worldly matters, you know, just ask,
but ahara matters, yeah, people have to ask again again. Whenever
you ask Allah gives you more. That's me, a different matter. I
mentioned that we should be repeated all the time.
Sheik
this question you may have answered previously, but I'll ask
it anyway, and you can choose whether you wish
to answer it. Other a hadith of 73 sects, with one in Jannah
authentic, if having * is prohibited, how is the first sect
in paradise when it's as well? Is a sect? Isn't it self
contradicting?
Yeah.
Written article on this matter. The first thing this is weak. So
if not important anything, it will be had this character. The second
thing is, even if you
take this hadith, it doesn't mean such will go to paradise. It only
means the * will not go to paradise. You know, those who are
not sectarian, and they are on the path of Allah and His messenger
and part of messenger and his companies, they will go to
paradise. So among all the 7272
steps, there are good people who realize messenger. They are the
path of Sahaba.
They will go paradise. They are one group, but other one, those
who are sectarian. They will not go and treat the repent or maybe
Allah for do later on, but they were going delivered to Khalifa.
So among all the people you know, like Ashari, matoridi, Hanafi,
Maliki, Shafi, humbly, every gurukuz Ram, there are people who
will go to Paradise, and there are people not going to Paradise, who
will go to paradise. The Prophet send the same Hadith, those who
are on what I am, and my companions. So you follow, accept.
You don't go to Paradise, but you follow Allah is missing messenger
and his companions. Then you go to paradise. So make sure that you
know you don't follow your sect. Follow Allah, messengers, Allah,
Sallam and his companions,
ASAN, Allah. The next question is by Sharia, who asks, What is the
difference between mukhlain and muhlasin?
Mukhla Sin means those who are sincere. It means that they do
good deeds to please Allah. Sincere people, mukha la sin are
those who are selected by Allah. Allah has chosen them selected for
himself. So, you know that that's a very high level. You know,
mukhalisa, you know is all the believers who are sincerely
sincere, and mukhalasi chosen
barcolo Ik Sheik. The next question is by suraya, who asks,
assalamu, Alaikum. Can I spend my tahajjud mostly studying Quran and
Islamic knowledge? I do matiya malail after Isha. Yeah.
You know the * means greater for the prayer. So, you know, if
you pray for maximum
and then you read the Quran, and you know, books, that's fine, but
the Quran and books are not prayer, you know.
So at least you should do two raka or four raka or six or eight. Once
you have done that, then, yeah, you spend rest of the time in
reading or anything.
Barakallah.
Shift. The next question is, salam, is ghost writing
permissible? How about academic research where there are authors
who don't contribute to the study or writing, but their names are
mentioned.
What is ghost study? Ghost writing is where I believe when someone
else writes, writes the actual paper, but the name written on the
paper is someone else's,
you know, I don't know if the purpose to cheat,
it's not allowed cheating that on sometime
further
academic
progress or something like that. You know they need a book paper,
and you ask someone else to write on your behalf, and then you get
a promotion. So definitely, that is cheating. So sometimes people
don't like it to mention their name in a book for some political
reason or something like they write a book on a topic for a
visit they think it will trouble for them, so they publish in
somebody else. And that could be allowed sometime, but if you know
this writing for cheating purpose, then it will not be
allowed. The next question is, can I use a single sadhakajaria, such
as building a well for more than one deceased IE, my my mom, dad
and younger brother? Yeah, you know any good deals? You can tell
many, many people that know how to
cut, you know, goods Allah knows how he can make it bigger. You can
give one sort of one pound, and for so many people, so yeah,
certain you are allowed to make more than more than one intention
in a single good deal.
Next question is by pala, who asks, before getting married, are
children obligated to look after their parents?
You know? The thing is,
if there's a need for the parent, any need, then children have to,
you know, fulfill that need. Time to their condition, inheritance.
So, like the sons, they get more, you know, inheritance to they will
have priority to look after their parent, then the daughters and all
those things. So you have to see by does not it does not conflict
with marriage anyway. You know, the if a married, your wife had
her own parent, she can look after them if they need. You have to
look after your parent, but your wife has no obligation to look
after your parent. You want to understand it, you know the parent
meets your parent does not mean that your wife's a pirate or
husband's parent. So no, no husband is obligation to look
after his wife's pirate. Either no wife has obligation to look at her
in husband's parent. Husband has to look his own after his own
parent, and wife has look after her own parent. So this another
duty. You know, there's no conflict people in many, many
duty. You look after your parent, look after your wife, look after
your children, look after you know, weak people of society. You
know you have to take care of the state. I know you spend money on
that, some new regression, and you can do all that at the same time.
So there's no contradiction in between these things.
Barak, alo FIK, the next question. I know the topic of the next
question is something you've done a course on, but if you want to
say a few words about it, I'll leave that to you. What are your
thoughts on the verse of Alaya, the burun, Al Quran? How should
one do the guru of the Quran,
the Quran actually is obligatory, and people should really spend
time on the Quran. Quran. When you understand Quran more and more, it
increases your demand and faith and trust, and also Matala, and it
improves your abutha, the quality of everything becomes better
because the Quran means to it very important thing to let people
understand the Quran properly.
And Quran has many layers. So you understand, then you go deeper,
you understand more, then you go deeper, is understand more that
what means? The bull means it going deeper and deeper, digging
and digging. You know, when you see a flower,
you get a meaning. But when a scientist see it, he gets more
meaning. You understand more so that he had more knowledge
that what should people should do about the Quran as well. So I
mentioned I taught a whole course unto the Quran, the Quran, you
should listen that inshallah to help you.
Barak, hello, picture. The next question is by Ibrahim, who asks.
Uh, in sural, fat is in mobina about fat ha Mekka, or is it about
hudaybiya? Some speakers say that fat Mubin is actually hudaybi.
Please explain what is correct. Sheik, right before the nation
Ibrahim, you have to be careful. I told this thing and you were
there. Look in my arguments properly. You know what it means?
Just because somebody says, Miss hodevia and now become confused.
So this confusion means so you don't make effort to understand
this properly, even if I teach you now then again, you may confuse
because somebody says something else you need to learn properly.
First thing is the Quran never had used the word conquest, except for
conquest of Mecca to keep in that look everywhere. Second thing,
look what Quran said, enough at all. Mobina, we have given you
clear so Allah forgets your sins and completes his fear upon you.
There, we had nothing to do forgiveness of sin and who there.
We had nothing to do with the completion of favor. Since have
been forgiven and favors are completed when Muslim that Quran
the materials conquered. Then after that, he will be done. And
because of the HUD since, they will be forgiven. And, you know,
come Allah, favorably, complete. That's the last thing that Allah
want to give to the believers,
so that, you know, people don't understand, don't look properly,
yeah, don't doubt. Was important, you know. And that led to the but
not people think, after who they all, people started entering to
Islam, no, but we have made easier for the people to mix with the
Muslims and then understand Islam properly. But Arabs were not
waiting for that. Others were waiting for the who is going to
win. So when Muslims conquer Makkah now, Arabs waiting realize
that now unbelievers are gone. PORAC is gone. Now the Who's her
upper hand. After that, those have been waiting they enter into a
religion of a Quran, as to when the victory has come and conquest
of Makkah has come there, and you see the people entering Islam in
groups and groups, then you have to reduce the far meaning. Now you
go to die the Prophet. You have to prepare for your death, because
your mission complete after compass, and then it will be
complete. And that was actually told the prophet in sutra passes,
which was revealed before
Hijra. That story of Musa Asmaa that he did hijra, and then, you
know, he said, I'm going to stay work for my father in law, eight
years or 10 years. So eight and 10 years were hint for the prophesy
after hijra, you will come. After eight years, I'd conquer and the
10 years will be like has completion, then you will die,
because the prophets don't stay for no reason in this world. So
that's the meaning so people who take yet, there's no sense about
that. Nothing is there not one Quran itself is people start
entering two regional groups after the conference, not before that.
And you look in history that not that the RFC started entering to
religion, no after then they started mixing. It will come
helpful for Muslim, but real thing, or the gratings, who is
going to win? To win, they saw that Muslims have won. They enter
into the and then organic people that we had nothing to do with
forgiveness of sin and completion the favor,
but every single step of the life the Prophet leads to compressor,
but does not mean treaty. Fat means fat and Fatah moving so
people, you know, speakers make all those things, and then people.
And then people become poetry, supporting language. They say that
idea was a career victory, just a language Quran, not a poetry. In
Quran talking about real victory, but they were not victory, but
they were not a conquest. Just enough. It is clearly, you know,
conquest, victory, not you make a poetry. In a poetry, people can
say anything, but you know, like people, they see their beloved. So
you look like moon or sun and this and that, nobody is sun and moon,
it is just poetry. So similarly, you can call it whether we are,
you know, biggest conquest and all those things. And any speakers can
say, preachers can say, and we become president. That why I warn
you against preachers. Because the intention not to teach you right
thing. The intention is to impress you. So anyway, Ibrahim properly,
and next, I'm going
to test you. Ibrahim asks another question. He says, Sheik, please
give us some advice on how to give dawah to atheists without trying
to prove.
God exists. Yeah, that's very good. It's this you learnt. So you
don't need to prove anything. But a thing really, Darwin does not
mean necessarily you say something. So I will say that, you
know, have good relation. Be nice to them, you know, until they love
you, like you invite your house in a feed, and then sometime, maybe
give a copy of the Quran. By the way, look at this book if it makes
sense to you. You know could be helpful and this and that, you
know, somehow, when you they get a more trust in you. They they like
you. But first thing is being nice to the people that is your Quran
was not revealed to
a stranger. Quran revealed to someone. Arash, no, and Allah said
in the Quran in nakala, Allah, character. So when he said that
they know who is it? You people don't know us. Do we have to have
good relation with unbelievers? They should trust in us. They know
who we are. They know really we love them. We like them. We want
to save them from hellfire. If they know, they'll accept it.
Don't worry to
convince anybody to call anybody rather than make friendship
with unbelievers. Sheik, the next question we've got is by Shahir,
who asks, What's Sheikh's opinion of the narration saying the
Prophet SAW lesson, got desire seeing a stranger woman so much
that he went to his wife for intimacy. Such an incident is hard
to even associate with. One's teacher, let alone the Nabis
Allahu. What is hard to see? Do you think the Prophet Hungary?
They don't even don't drink? What? This question is, just think,
really, you know, sexual desire is made by Allah for a purpose. Wrong
with that wrong is to fulfill it in wrong way by not eating, eating
for a purpose. But if people eat haram, that is problem by people
eat halal food, Allah have been made lawful for you, haram.
Drinking not right? People drink wine by people drink a nice juice
and drink. There's nothing wrong with that to the professors and
God desire. So that's right way that they go and fulfill the
desire with his wife. So then desire become weaker that
everybody does actually that sign of his profit, that is so pious.
You know, the people are not pious. They will keep running
after the other women. But the pious people, they want to limit
themselves. So it clear another proof that he, the Prophet, is a
messenger. He's a God fearing. He said, I know Allah more than me,
and I fear Allah more than you. If somebody fulfills a desire in the
right way, that's right. There should be, you know, the Allah
never ask any proper messenger to, you know, to get rid of the
desire. No. And, you know, suppress desire. And like all
these Hindu saints doing, you know, they never marry and all
those things. And then what happens if you go mix with them?
You see, there's so much corruption, so much corruption.
Prophets don't take prophet had proper human life, their human
being that they have all the things are that human being had,
they know, desire for the eating, desire for drinking, desire for
*. There's no problem with that. Problem with many people fulfill
it wrong way. So one should be never shy. The professor himself
had, you know, once a nine wife, and one day he went with all to
all of them and fulfilled it that What wrong with that? It's
something halal. That's halal. So I don't understand how people
think. Why not? You cannot think about your teacher, what your
teacher do the do haram teachers should do also halal, if their
desires should go and do Halal things, if the teacher don't do
Halal thing, then there will problem. They will do haram that.
Umar used to say that if somebody does not marry, I will suspicious
that maybe you do haram, but if
people marry, that's right. The last question we'll take for today
is by Fateha, who says, when we visit our family graves, is it
okay to remember all the good moments, or making good moments
there because they used to be with us, like saying I miss you, and
crying etcetera, besides making dua For them, like a human D
connection, because
that was going to make you unnecessary. And what, what
benefits you said to this is Prana, I remember it. What?
Nothing, what he needs your DUA. Just go there and say that, man,
love forgiving you, elevate you, and go to Sadaqah. That's what if
you say, my remember is what your remembers will not make a
difference anyway. He does not need your remembrance. He needs
your DUA. Therefore he needs and also remembering him does not
benefit you as well, neither him, neither you. So these things are
very basic, one thing and misunderstanding of the whole
thing, you know, the peace.
Body died. He needs your DUA, your prayer, he needs good deeds to
come to him. So make dua. You ask Allah to forgive him and give
Sadaqah. And that's why I want to help you as well. You remember
your death. You know, just saying, I miss you, I remember you.
Nothing, useless. Empathy. There's no benefit at all, not for you and
a father. This is perfect. Nobody benefits
from the symptoms.
That's all for today. Unfortunately, if your question
hasn't been answered, please remember it and ask it next time
for your time. And JazakAllah, oh, and everyone for tuning in. And
Inshallah, we'll be back soon. Zach lager, Salama, Alaikum.
