00:00:03 -->
00:00:06
Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wa salatu wa salamu ala rasulillah,
00:00:06 -->
00:00:10
assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, everyone, and
00:00:10 -->
00:00:13
welcome to another Q&A with ASI with
00:00:13 -->
00:00:16
Sheikh Akram Nadwi on, as usual, every Thursday
00:00:16 -->
00:00:20
at 6pm BST. Without further ado, Sheikh, we'll
00:00:20 -->
00:00:22
dive straight into the questions.
00:00:22 -->
00:00:27
The first question we have is by Fakabbir,
00:00:27 -->
00:00:30
who asks, was there one copy of the
00:00:30 -->
00:00:34
Quran that was compiled during Usman or multiple
00:00:34 -->
00:00:35
copies?
00:00:36 -->
00:00:38
Were they each containing one of the variations
00:00:38 -->
00:00:39
or other?
00:00:45 -->
00:00:47
So about the compilation of the Quran, you
00:00:47 -->
00:00:50
know, I explained so many times in details.
00:00:50 -->
00:00:53
I've also written this in my book, Mabadi
00:00:53 -->
00:00:57
Fi Usul Tafseer, and many other writings.
00:00:58 -->
00:01:01
So understand that when the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
00:01:01 -->
00:01:04
Wasallam passed away, the Quran was complete and
00:01:04 -->
00:01:05
in the right order.
00:01:06 -->
00:01:09
What Abu Bakr Siddiq did, he put all
00:01:09 -->
00:01:11
of them in one copy, the one bound
00:01:11 -->
00:01:12
copy, you know, for reference.
00:01:13 -->
00:01:14
Same thing as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:01:14 -->
00:01:15
used to read, same order.
00:01:15 -->
00:01:17
He didn't change anything, but just he wanted
00:01:17 -->
00:01:19
to keep for the future reference.
00:01:20 -->
00:01:23
What Uthman bin Laden read, he wanted to,
00:01:23 -->
00:01:27
you know, like publishing the Quran in a
00:01:27 -->
00:01:29
way that Quraysh read.
00:01:29 -->
00:01:31
So he wanted to agree with everybody on
00:01:31 -->
00:01:32
the readings of the Quraysh.
00:01:33 -->
00:01:36
And he made six copies and all of
00:01:36 -->
00:01:37
them are exactly the same thing.
00:01:38 -->
00:01:38
There's no difference.
00:01:38 -->
00:01:41
They're kind of Quraysh readings because all other
00:01:41 -->
00:01:44
readings, they have been abrogated before the Prophet
00:01:44 -->
00:01:45
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam passed away.
00:01:45 -->
00:01:47
So only reading remains in the world is
00:01:47 -->
00:01:48
the reading of Quraysh.
00:01:48 -->
00:01:52
Though the reading of Quraysh also have some
00:01:52 -->
00:01:54
possibility of some variations.
00:01:54 -->
00:01:56
That what is now called as Qiraat.
00:01:57 -->
00:01:58
People have different Qiraat.
00:01:58 -->
00:02:01
These Qiraat are all of them based on
00:02:01 -->
00:02:02
the Mus'haf of Uthman bin Laden.
00:02:03 -->
00:02:06
As for the seven Ahruf, that finished, that
00:02:06 -->
00:02:08
was only in the time of the Prophet
00:02:08 -->
00:02:08
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
00:02:09 -->
00:02:12
And when he passed away, before that, already
00:02:12 -->
00:02:16
people have agreed on the reading of Quraysh.
00:02:16 -->
00:02:19
Uthman bin Laden only publicized the reading of
00:02:19 -->
00:02:21
Quraysh on which the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:02:21 -->
00:02:21
died.
00:02:22 -->
00:02:24
And he made six copies and sent to
00:02:24 -->
00:02:27
all the major cities and commanded the people
00:02:27 -->
00:02:31
to copy from these copies and destroy all
00:02:31 -->
00:02:32
other copies.
00:02:33 -->
00:02:35
So there should be no difference in reading
00:02:35 -->
00:02:37
of the Qur'an among the Muslims.
00:02:40 -->
00:02:41
Barakallahu feek, Sheikh.
00:02:41 -->
00:02:44
The next question that's been asked by Benny,
00:02:44 -->
00:02:48
who asks, how do we purify a bedsheet
00:02:48 -->
00:02:51
from urine of baby feeding on mother milk
00:02:51 -->
00:02:54
and sometimes tasting curry or liquid food?
00:02:57 -->
00:02:58
You know, think of the babies, you know,
00:02:58 -->
00:03:01
just on the milk, does not drink, does
00:03:01 -->
00:03:03
not eat or like a two year, less
00:03:03 -->
00:03:04
than two year old.
00:03:05 -->
00:03:07
Then, you know, urine is lighter.
00:03:07 -->
00:03:10
Just, you know, sprinkle some water on the
00:03:10 -->
00:03:11
place where urine happened.
00:03:11 -->
00:03:12
That's all.
00:03:12 -->
00:03:14
They don't need to worry so much about
00:03:14 -->
00:03:14
washing.
00:03:15 -->
00:03:17
Just sprinkle some water on the place of
00:03:17 -->
00:03:20
the urine and that will find, inshallah.
00:03:23 -->
00:03:28
The next question is, can I get accident
00:03:28 -->
00:03:31
insurance policy knowing that kids in my neighborhood
00:03:31 -->
00:03:34
can damage my car and their parents and
00:03:34 -->
00:03:36
their parents would never pay for it?
00:03:39 -->
00:03:41
Yeah, you know, if these harms are more
00:03:41 -->
00:03:45
likely to happen, you know, then you can
00:03:45 -->
00:03:46
have insurance.
00:03:47 -->
00:03:49
But sometimes people just imagine, you know, a
00:03:49 -->
00:03:52
future problem and loss and they do the
00:03:52 -->
00:03:54
do insurance.
00:03:54 -->
00:03:55
So that's not allowed.
00:03:55 -->
00:03:57
But if there's a real need and you
00:03:57 -->
00:03:59
think it's going to happen, yeah, then you're
00:03:59 -->
00:04:02
allowed to protect yourself and this need.
00:04:02 -->
00:04:04
So insurance can be allowed for the need.
00:04:07 -->
00:04:11
Sheikh, on a related note, could that same
00:04:11 -->
00:04:18
answer be extended?
00:04:19 -->
00:04:21
I couldn't hear you.
00:04:21 -->
00:04:23
To life insurance, where nowadays we know if
00:04:23 -->
00:04:26
a husband passes away, it will be a
00:04:26 -->
00:04:28
lot of difficulty on his wife and family.
00:04:31 -->
00:04:34
This illness is there, you know, insurance for
00:04:34 -->
00:04:35
the health is fine.
00:04:36 -->
00:04:37
Because you know what happened?
00:04:37 -->
00:04:40
You're cutting, Khidr.
00:04:40 -->
00:04:41
Can you hear me?
00:04:43 -->
00:04:44
Khidr, can you hear me?
00:04:44 -->
00:04:44
Yes, I can hear you.
00:04:45 -->
00:04:48
What I'm saying is that we allow the
00:04:48 -->
00:04:49
insurance for needs.
00:04:49 -->
00:04:51
So like, for example, people need to be
00:04:51 -->
00:04:52
cured.
00:04:52 -->
00:04:54
So sometimes, like in some countries like in
00:04:54 -->
00:04:58
America, you know, there's not such a good,
00:04:58 -->
00:05:01
you know, health, you know, facility like in
00:05:01 -->
00:05:01
the UK.
00:05:02 -->
00:05:04
So, you know, people have to have, you
00:05:04 -->
00:05:08
know, private, you know, treatment.
00:05:08 -->
00:05:09
And that is very costly.
00:05:09 -->
00:05:12
So there we allow people to have, you
00:05:12 -->
00:05:13
know, insurance.
00:05:13 -->
00:05:15
But in the UK, you don't need that.
00:05:15 -->
00:05:17
And life insurance does not mean anything.
00:05:17 -->
00:05:19
Because nobody's going to protect your life and
00:05:19 -->
00:05:20
help.
00:05:20 -->
00:05:21
They do nothing.
00:05:21 -->
00:05:23
So we don't allow people to have a
00:05:23 -->
00:05:24
life insurance.
00:05:26 -->
00:05:27
BarakAllahu feek, Sheikh.
00:05:27 -->
00:05:30
The next question by Muhammad Aqib is, How
00:05:30 -->
00:05:34
did Ibn Abbas attain deep insights from Quran,
00:05:35 -->
00:05:37
like finding the reins of his camel or
00:05:37 -->
00:05:40
interpreting Surah Nasr so profoundly?
00:05:40 -->
00:05:43
Is there a compilation of his wisdom and
00:05:43 -->
00:05:45
how can we benefit from him?
00:05:46 -->
00:05:49
You know, he's really great among the companions.
00:05:49 -->
00:05:50
There are many other people like that.
00:05:51 -->
00:05:53
And also later on, people, you know, when
00:05:53 -->
00:05:56
you spend time, like, you know, how the
00:05:56 -->
00:06:02
scientists discover, you know, many realities in this
00:06:02 -->
00:06:05
universe, how they make invention, you know, how
00:06:05 -->
00:06:08
people discover the gravity in the earth.
00:06:08 -->
00:06:10
So many things mentioned by thinking, by using
00:06:10 -->
00:06:11
the mind.
00:06:11 -->
00:06:14
Similarly, the Quran, Quran, the book of Allah
00:06:14 -->
00:06:18
has many, many depth, you know, like Maulana
00:06:18 -->
00:06:20
Farahi comes and he discovers so many deep
00:06:20 -->
00:06:21
things.
00:06:21 -->
00:06:23
So, yeah, you can also can do, but
00:06:23 -->
00:06:24
you have to spend time.
00:06:24 -->
00:06:26
You know, if people keep doing all the
00:06:26 -->
00:06:28
things in their life, spending time on mobile
00:06:28 -->
00:06:31
phones and WhatsApp and messaging, they can't do
00:06:31 -->
00:06:32
anything in their life.
00:06:32 -->
00:06:35
But people like Maulana Farahi, he spent 30
00:06:35 -->
00:06:38
years just in the Quran, nothing else, all
00:06:38 -->
00:06:38
30 years.
00:06:38 -->
00:06:41
So, yeah, he really understood it.
00:06:42 -->
00:06:44
Even people like me, though I do so
00:06:44 -->
00:06:44
many things.
00:06:45 -->
00:06:48
So sometimes when we, I, you know, spend
00:06:48 -->
00:06:52
time, reflect properly, I can see many, many
00:06:52 -->
00:06:54
things from the Quran, I can understand.
00:06:55 -->
00:06:57
So the book of Allah will only give
00:06:57 -->
00:07:00
you when you spend time and reflect and
00:07:00 -->
00:07:02
think, then you can get something inshallah.
00:07:04 -->
00:07:06
Jazakallah Khairan Sheikh.
00:07:06 -->
00:07:09
The next question asks, can I give loan
00:07:09 -->
00:07:12
in dollars equal to some amount of gold
00:07:12 -->
00:07:14
and take back the amount which is the
00:07:14 -->
00:07:16
value of gold while returning it?
00:07:17 -->
00:07:20
You can do, but you know, currencies which
00:07:20 -->
00:07:23
are more, you know, settled and they don't
00:07:23 -->
00:07:26
change so much like dollars, pounds.
00:07:27 -->
00:07:29
I don't realize you don't need that really,
00:07:29 -->
00:07:30
just give dollars and take their dollars.
00:07:30 -->
00:07:32
But if you think there will be inflation,
00:07:33 -->
00:07:35
somebody wants to pay you back after 10
00:07:35 -->
00:07:36
years or 15 years.
00:07:36 -->
00:07:38
Yeah, then it's a long time and there
00:07:38 -->
00:07:39
can have an inflation.
00:07:39 -->
00:07:40
Then you measure it in gold.
00:07:40 -->
00:07:42
But if it's like one year or two
00:07:42 -->
00:07:44
years, there's no need for that.
00:07:44 -->
00:07:46
But anyway, you are allowed to measure it
00:07:46 -->
00:07:49
in gold, gold and any other things, some
00:07:49 -->
00:07:52
other things, and take back the value of
00:07:52 -->
00:07:53
what you have paid.
00:07:55 -->
00:07:56
Jazakallah Khairan Sheikh.
00:07:56 -->
00:07:58
The next question is by Junaid who asks,
00:07:58 -->
00:08:02
if a person cannot fully believe what is
00:08:02 -->
00:08:05
written in the Quran and struggles with this,
00:08:05 -->
00:08:06
is this kufr?
00:08:07 -->
00:08:09
No, it is not kufr because, you know,
00:08:09 -->
00:08:11
belief has many, many levels.
00:08:11 -->
00:08:12
So as long as he knows that it
00:08:12 -->
00:08:15
is all from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:08:15 -->
00:08:18
and I am so weak, not necessarily I
00:08:18 -->
00:08:19
understand everything.
00:08:20 -->
00:08:21
And one day I'll understand, I make effort,
00:08:21 -->
00:08:24
he'll be fine because people don't understand everything
00:08:24 -->
00:08:25
at the same time.
00:08:25 -->
00:08:27
What he should not do, he should not
00:08:27 -->
00:08:28
deny it, should not reject.
00:08:29 -->
00:08:31
He should think that, you know, I have
00:08:31 -->
00:08:33
to make effort how to understand it.
00:08:33 -->
00:08:34
Like, you know, many things in this world
00:08:34 -->
00:08:35
we don't know.
00:08:36 -->
00:08:37
Then we make effort to find it.
00:08:38 -->
00:08:39
So similarly in the Quran, there could be
00:08:39 -->
00:08:42
many teachings of the Quran which you are
00:08:42 -->
00:08:43
not familiar with.
00:08:43 -->
00:08:45
So you find it very difficult to accept
00:08:45 -->
00:08:45
it.
00:08:45 -->
00:08:46
That's right.
00:08:46 -->
00:08:48
It could be difficult for you to accept,
00:08:48 -->
00:08:49
but don't deny it.
00:08:49 -->
00:08:53
Keep making research, keep, you know, asking people.
00:08:53 -->
00:08:55
And one day, inshallah, Allah will help you.
00:08:56 -->
00:08:59
If people reject clearly, deny, and they become
00:08:59 -->
00:09:01
arrogant that I know everything and Quran is
00:09:01 -->
00:09:02
wrong, that is problem.
00:09:02 -->
00:09:04
But if people are humble, they think, no,
00:09:05 -->
00:09:06
I don't know really.
00:09:06 -->
00:09:08
But I don't understand at the same time.
00:09:09 -->
00:09:10
I make effort to understand.
00:09:10 -->
00:09:12
Then people like that, they will get reward
00:09:12 -->
00:09:13
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will help
00:09:13 -->
00:09:14
them to understand.
00:09:18 -->
00:09:19
JazakAllah Khairan Sheikh.
00:09:19 -->
00:09:21
The next question is by Fatiha who asks,
00:09:22 -->
00:09:23
Salam Ya Sheikh.
00:09:23 -->
00:09:25
Could you please advise on the wisdom behind
00:09:25 -->
00:09:28
the few surahs in Juz Amma that bring
00:09:28 -->
00:09:30
the description of the universe to relate with
00:09:30 -->
00:09:31
the end of the world?
00:09:31 -->
00:09:33
How do we ponder these verses correctly?
00:09:34 -->
00:09:35
And how do we obtain any reward by
00:09:35 -->
00:09:38
learning the sciences related to the creation of
00:09:38 -->
00:09:41
the universe like reading about space and what
00:09:41 -->
00:09:42
it has to ponder the Quran?
00:09:45 -->
00:09:47
So I really don't understand because, you know,
00:09:47 -->
00:09:49
the Quran keeps talking about the Day of
00:09:49 -->
00:09:52
Judgment, resurrection, destruction of this world.
00:09:52 -->
00:09:55
So many times people understand that this life
00:09:55 -->
00:09:56
is not permanent.
00:09:57 -->
00:09:58
It is a temporary life.
00:09:58 -->
00:10:01
The world is actually, the earth is temporary.
00:10:02 -->
00:10:03
And all the universe is temporary.
00:10:03 -->
00:10:05
One day they're going to be destroyed and
00:10:05 -->
00:10:06
resurrection will happen.
00:10:06 -->
00:10:07
Day of Judgment will happen.
00:10:08 -->
00:10:09
People will get reward.
00:10:09 -->
00:10:11
So this is a message of the Quran,
00:10:11 -->
00:10:12
all over the Quran.
00:10:13 -->
00:10:15
So maybe, I don't know, maybe Fatiha is
00:10:15 -->
00:10:18
asking some deeper question because she always asks
00:10:18 -->
00:10:19
something deeper.
00:10:19 -->
00:10:22
This is something everybody knows anyway.
00:10:22 -->
00:10:25
Yesterday I wrote an article about Akhira.
00:10:26 -->
00:10:28
Maybe, you know, you find somewhere from somewhere.
00:10:28 -->
00:10:29
I publish it.
00:10:30 -->
00:10:31
It will be on my telegram.
00:10:31 -->
00:10:32
Look in Akhira article.
00:10:33 -->
00:10:34
Maybe that can help you.
00:10:35 -->
00:10:37
But I don't understand really what is the
00:10:37 -->
00:10:39
wisdom that you want to know when Quran
00:10:39 -->
00:10:44
talks about the hereafter or, you know, about
00:10:44 -->
00:10:45
destruction of the world.
00:10:45 -->
00:10:47
It is something very common message of the
00:10:47 -->
00:10:47
Quran.
00:10:51 -->
00:10:55
The next question is by Fariha who asks,
00:10:55 -->
00:10:58
What amal should we do to keep Allah
00:10:58 -->
00:11:00
happy and have His blessings and ni'mah upon
00:11:00 -->
00:11:01
us always?
00:11:02 -->
00:11:05
Oh Fariha, you keep asking all the time
00:11:05 -->
00:11:07
this question and this basic thing you need
00:11:07 -->
00:11:08
to ask.
00:11:08 -->
00:11:09
You know, it is so obvious.
00:11:09 -->
00:11:11
That's why the Quran came to teach people
00:11:11 -->
00:11:12
what makes Allah happy.
00:11:13 -->
00:11:14
You know, it is iman.
00:11:14 -->
00:11:15
You know, you put trust in Allah subhanahu
00:11:15 -->
00:11:17
wa ta'ala and obey him.
00:11:18 -->
00:11:21
And the prayer is the most important of
00:11:21 -->
00:11:21
iman.
00:11:21 -->
00:11:24
Do your prayers on the time properly with
00:11:24 -->
00:11:25
humility.
00:11:26 -->
00:11:28
And then any command that Allah commands you,
00:11:28 -->
00:11:29
you have to obey him.
00:11:29 -->
00:11:32
And any sins that he forbids, you have
00:11:32 -->
00:11:32
to avoid that.
00:11:33 -->
00:11:36
It's like, you know, lying, backbiting, hurting anybody,
00:11:36 -->
00:11:41
harming anybody, eating haram, cheating, you know, all
00:11:41 -->
00:11:42
these things.
00:11:43 -->
00:11:47
You know, zina, coming nearer to zina, you
00:11:47 -->
00:11:48
know, all this is haram.
00:11:48 -->
00:11:49
They have been forbidden.
00:11:49 -->
00:11:52
If people avoid all those things and they
00:11:52 -->
00:11:54
obey their Lord, you know, they'll be happy
00:11:54 -->
00:11:57
because, you know, it's easier to make Allah
00:11:57 -->
00:11:59
pleased with you than anybody else.
00:11:59 -->
00:12:02
Main thing always is iman, to put your
00:12:02 -->
00:12:04
trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
00:12:04 -->
00:12:06
then after that a'mal, good deeds.
00:12:07 -->
00:12:08
Allah will be pleased with you inshallah.
00:12:12 -->
00:12:14
The next question is by Adil who asks,
00:12:15 -->
00:12:18
if Quran was revealed in native tongue of
00:12:18 -->
00:12:21
poets like Mutanabbi and Hassan, how did they
00:12:21 -->
00:12:25
have grammatical and morphological errors such as using
00:12:25 -->
00:12:31
buqat as plural of both and not abuwaq?
00:12:31 -->
00:12:33
Was it human error?
00:12:34 -->
00:12:37
First thing really is Quran was not revealed
00:12:37 -->
00:12:38
in the language of Mutanabbi anyway.
00:12:39 -->
00:12:40
Mutanabbi is very late.
00:12:40 -->
00:12:43
His language is not even evidence for anything,
00:12:43 -->
00:12:44
proof for Arabic language.
00:12:44 -->
00:12:48
When people discuss Arabic language, the grammar, the
00:12:48 -->
00:12:51
language that is standard on which grammar is
00:12:51 -->
00:12:54
based is all, you know, things which were
00:12:54 -->
00:12:57
before 150 of Hijrah.
00:12:58 -->
00:13:00
So like the poets of Jahili period, poets
00:13:00 -->
00:13:02
of Islamic period, like we mentioned Hassan al
00:13:02 -->
00:13:06
-Sabit or Islamic period like, you know, Farazdaq,
00:13:06 -->
00:13:12
Jarir, Akhtal or early Basid period up to
00:13:12 -->
00:13:13
150.
00:13:13 -->
00:13:15
After that mixing happened.
00:13:15 -->
00:13:18
Mutanabbi, Abul Alaa, Ma'arri, Bahaduri.
00:13:18 -->
00:13:19
All these people, they are very late.
00:13:20 -->
00:13:22
They are nothing to do with the authentic
00:13:22 -->
00:13:22
language.
00:13:23 -->
00:13:26
Hassan al-Sabit is a companion.
00:13:26 -->
00:13:27
His language is fine.
00:13:28 -->
00:13:30
So you can say, why you think a
00:13:30 -->
00:13:33
book can never have a jama' of buqat?
00:13:33 -->
00:13:35
It's possible because Arabic language.
00:13:35 -->
00:13:38
Because, you know, you can make a buqat.
00:13:39 -->
00:13:40
So that's not a problem.
00:13:41 -->
00:13:44
So all these poets, their language is standard,
00:13:45 -->
00:13:45
you know, authentic.
00:13:46 -->
00:13:49
Anybody who's up to 150 of Hijrah, you
00:13:49 -->
00:13:51
know, you can use the argument from their
00:13:51 -->
00:13:52
poetry.
00:13:52 -->
00:13:54
Though poets also differ from each other.
00:13:55 -->
00:13:56
Arabs also differ from each other.
00:13:57 -->
00:13:58
Quran is the most eloquent one.
00:13:59 -->
00:14:00
So among Arab poets, you can find somebody
00:14:00 -->
00:14:03
uses something which is not so eloquent, but
00:14:03 -->
00:14:04
still right.
00:14:04 -->
00:14:06
You can't say it has error in the
00:14:06 -->
00:14:06
grammar.
00:14:07 -->
00:14:10
So not everything that allowed the grammar, it
00:14:10 -->
00:14:11
has all the same value.
00:14:12 -->
00:14:13
Something will be more preferred over the other.
00:14:14 -->
00:14:18
You know, sometimes people use jama' takthir, where
00:14:18 -->
00:14:21
jama' killa will be much better.
00:14:21 -->
00:14:22
That had happened in the past as well,
00:14:22 -->
00:14:23
in the Jahili period.
00:14:24 -->
00:14:25
So people used to correct each other.
00:14:26 -->
00:14:29
So, you know, among Arab poets, it is
00:14:29 -->
00:14:32
possible that somebody uses a language which is
00:14:32 -->
00:14:35
less preferred compared to the other, whoever language
00:14:35 -->
00:14:35
is better.
00:14:35 -->
00:14:36
That can happen.
00:14:36 -->
00:14:38
But I don't think anybody has got any
00:14:38 -->
00:14:40
grammar error in that period.
00:14:43 -->
00:14:44
BarakAllahu feek, Sheikh.
00:14:44 -->
00:14:49
The next question asks, Am I sinful if
00:14:49 -->
00:14:51
I reject the proposal of my father when
00:14:51 -->
00:14:54
he is forcing me to marry a specific
00:14:54 -->
00:14:56
person, when I don't like him for me?
00:14:57 -->
00:14:59
My father forcing me is not letting me
00:14:59 -->
00:15:01
marry any other good person.
00:15:01 -->
00:15:04
He is abusing me all the time if
00:15:04 -->
00:15:05
I don't accept that proposal.
00:15:05 -->
00:15:07
I personally don't like the brother.
00:15:07 -->
00:15:09
His family is not good.
00:15:10 -->
00:15:13
I don't understand why you think your father
00:15:13 -->
00:15:14
is the one who is sinful.
00:15:14 -->
00:15:17
So, you know, the fathers have no right
00:15:17 -->
00:15:19
to interfere with the marriage of their sons
00:15:19 -->
00:15:20
and daughters.
00:15:20 -->
00:15:22
They can help them.
00:15:22 -->
00:15:23
They can support them.
00:15:23 -->
00:15:24
They can find someone.
00:15:24 -->
00:15:27
And then if the daughter does not like
00:15:27 -->
00:15:29
it, then they should find someone else.
00:15:29 -->
00:15:30
That should be like, you know, I have
00:15:30 -->
00:15:31
been marrying my daughters.
00:15:32 -->
00:15:35
So whenever I find someone, I ask them
00:15:35 -->
00:15:36
if they accept, that's fine.
00:15:36 -->
00:15:38
If they don't accept, then I find someone
00:15:38 -->
00:15:38
else.
00:15:38 -->
00:15:41
But I have no right to force anybody
00:15:41 -->
00:15:42
to marry who I like.
00:15:43 -->
00:15:44
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam made it
00:15:44 -->
00:15:44
very clear.
00:15:45 -->
00:15:47
So anyway, don't understand that always children have
00:15:47 -->
00:15:48
sins.
00:15:48 -->
00:15:50
Parents also do sin.
00:15:50 -->
00:15:52
You know, when there is a dispute between
00:15:52 -->
00:15:56
a parent and the children, not always children
00:15:56 -->
00:15:57
get sin.
00:15:57 -->
00:15:59
Sometimes parents get sin because they are the
00:15:59 -->
00:15:59
ones who are wrong.
00:16:00 -->
00:16:02
You know, parents and children, both are slaves
00:16:02 -->
00:16:03
of Allah.
00:16:03 -->
00:16:05
Both have to obey Allah.
00:16:05 -->
00:16:07
Not that if you are a father and
00:16:07 -->
00:16:08
mother, you can do whatever you like.
00:16:08 -->
00:16:09
You have got limits.
00:16:10 -->
00:16:11
You are not allowed to exceed the limit.
00:16:12 -->
00:16:14
No father is allowed to force his daughter
00:16:14 -->
00:16:17
or son to marry someone if the sons
00:16:17 -->
00:16:19
and daughters don't like that person.
00:16:19 -->
00:16:20
No father is allowed.
00:16:20 -->
00:16:21
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam made very
00:16:21 -->
00:16:24
clear hadith in Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim.
00:16:24 -->
00:16:25
I can make many hadith like that.
00:16:26 -->
00:16:28
You know, so you don't worry.
00:16:28 -->
00:16:30
It is your father who is getting sin.
00:16:30 -->
00:16:32
So be nice, be good and marry whoever
00:16:32 -->
00:16:33
you like.
00:16:33 -->
00:16:35
One day, inshallah, your father will accept.
00:16:38 -->
00:16:41
The next question is by Abdullah who asks,
00:16:42 -->
00:16:44
some scholars say that the khimar is not
00:16:44 -->
00:16:47
mandatory, but to cover bosom, the khimar is
00:16:47 -->
00:16:50
used, which does not necessarily make khimar false,
00:16:50 -->
00:16:53
although it is highly recommended to take it.
00:16:53 -->
00:16:55
Is this opinion correct?
00:16:56 -->
00:16:57
Yeah, you know, this opinion is a long
00:16:57 -->
00:16:58
opinion.
00:16:58 -->
00:17:00
You know, in our time, it is a
00:17:00 -->
00:17:02
very stupid opinion because khimar means covering up
00:17:02 -->
00:17:03
the head.
00:17:03 -->
00:17:05
So covering the head does not cover the
00:17:05 -->
00:17:05
head.
00:17:05 -->
00:17:07
What covers the chest is something different.
00:17:08 -->
00:17:10
Allah says use the same piece of cloth
00:17:11 -->
00:17:13
which you use for covering the head, use
00:17:13 -->
00:17:15
also to cover your chest.
00:17:15 -->
00:17:17
So he does not say don't cover the
00:17:17 -->
00:17:20
head, meaning you don't need two different pieces
00:17:20 -->
00:17:20
of cloth.
00:17:21 -->
00:17:24
But anyway, I've written an article because for
00:17:24 -->
00:17:26
the same problem, I wrote an article in
00:17:26 -->
00:17:28
Arabic actually about al-khimar.
00:17:29 -->
00:17:30
And somebody, I think, I don't know who
00:17:30 -->
00:17:35
has translated, or someone translated that into English.
00:17:35 -->
00:17:37
So you can find that Arabic one and
00:17:37 -->
00:17:38
English one, read it.
00:17:38 -->
00:17:41
I've given all the arguments to make very
00:17:41 -->
00:17:44
clear that khimar means to cover the head,
00:17:45 -->
00:17:46
and covering the head is obligatory for the
00:17:46 -->
00:17:47
women.
00:17:48 -->
00:17:51
So if you don't read Arabic, maybe you
00:17:51 -->
00:17:52
can find the translation.
00:17:52 -->
00:17:55
Otherwise, you know, ask Abu Hanifa, who keeps
00:17:55 -->
00:18:00
translating my articles into English, you know, using
00:18:00 -->
00:18:03
AI so he can translate that, or somebody
00:18:03 -->
00:18:04
else can translate.
00:18:04 -->
00:18:05
You can read it, inshallah.
00:18:05 -->
00:18:07
But read the article, it will be helpful,
00:18:07 -->
00:18:08
because that's why I wrote it.
00:18:08 -->
00:18:11
I spent time to get all the arguments
00:18:11 -->
00:18:14
properly that what khimar means in the Quran.
00:18:17 -->
00:18:18
As-salamu alaykum.
00:18:19 -->
00:18:21
The next question is by Mohtem, who asks,
00:18:22 -->
00:18:23
As-salamu alaykum.
00:18:23 -->
00:18:26
Instead of private banks, can we have savings
00:18:26 -->
00:18:29
accounts in government banks and use any interest
00:18:29 -->
00:18:30
from this account?
00:18:30 -->
00:18:32
To pay income tax back to government.
00:18:34 -->
00:18:37
You know, this, people think it is a
00:18:37 -->
00:18:38
clever idea, but I don't really agree with
00:18:38 -->
00:18:39
that.
00:18:39 -->
00:18:41
I think Muslims should not benefit from the
00:18:41 -->
00:18:43
interest, you know, at all.
00:18:43 -->
00:18:45
If you get, first thing, you should not
00:18:45 -->
00:18:45
take really.
00:18:45 -->
00:18:47
But if you are taking, then give it
00:18:47 -->
00:18:51
to the poor people from whom you cannot
00:18:51 -->
00:18:51
benefit anything.
00:18:52 -->
00:18:54
Either your tax or your pay tax, because
00:18:54 -->
00:18:58
when people spend tax, pay tax, they also
00:18:58 -->
00:18:59
benefit from the government.
00:18:59 -->
00:19:01
You know, so much, you get benefits from
00:19:01 -->
00:19:01
the government.
00:19:02 -->
00:19:05
They do road works, how they can run
00:19:05 -->
00:19:08
the state if they don't, you know, you
00:19:08 -->
00:19:09
don't pay the taxes.
00:19:10 -->
00:19:13
So I don't think you should take an
00:19:13 -->
00:19:15
interest in order to pay your tax.
00:19:16 -->
00:19:17
There are two different things here.
00:19:17 -->
00:19:19
So if you take your interest, give it
00:19:19 -->
00:19:22
to the poor people who have no means,
00:19:22 -->
00:19:24
but don't expect any reward.
00:19:24 -->
00:19:27
You know, expecting reward from these things is
00:19:27 -->
00:19:27
not right.
00:19:27 -->
00:19:32
That's the best thing to spend your interest,
00:19:32 -->
00:19:34
but don't spend on yourself.
00:19:37 -->
00:19:40
The next question is by Noreena, who asks,
00:19:41 -->
00:19:44
My question is that I've missed a lot
00:19:44 -->
00:19:44
of prayers.
00:19:45 -->
00:19:47
Should I repeat them or just istighfar and
00:19:47 -->
00:19:48
repentance is enough?
00:19:50 -->
00:19:51
Yeah, there are two opinions.
00:19:51 -->
00:19:53
Some people say it is enough that you
00:19:53 -->
00:19:54
repent and do istighfar.
00:19:55 -->
00:19:57
But I prefer the opinion of Abu Hanifa,
00:19:57 -->
00:20:01
that people should do qada, you know, do
00:20:01 -->
00:20:03
the missed prayer as much as possible.
00:20:03 -->
00:20:04
You know, you can't do everything.
00:20:05 -->
00:20:08
But a simple thing is just do with
00:20:08 -->
00:20:10
every prayer, another extra prayer.
00:20:11 -->
00:20:14
When you pray Zohr, do four rakah more
00:20:14 -->
00:20:15
for your missed one.
00:20:16 -->
00:20:17
So inshallah, many of them would have been
00:20:17 -->
00:20:18
done.
00:20:19 -->
00:20:22
Sometimes I tell people, if you don't have
00:20:22 -->
00:20:25
time, just instead of sunnah, make intention of
00:20:25 -->
00:20:26
fardh.
00:20:26 -->
00:20:29
Like Zohr has a four rakah sunnah before
00:20:29 -->
00:20:29
the fardh.
00:20:30 -->
00:20:32
So this four rakah sunnah, make intention to
00:20:32 -->
00:20:34
pray your missed fardh.
00:20:35 -->
00:20:37
Same thing asr when you pray, before that
00:20:37 -->
00:20:39
pray four rakah asr of the past and
00:20:39 -->
00:20:42
then four rakah of the day, same maghrib,
00:20:43 -->
00:20:43
same isha.
00:20:44 -->
00:20:45
So inshallah, in a few years, you would
00:20:45 -->
00:20:47
have done many of your prayers.
00:20:48 -->
00:20:49
That's why I prefer.
00:20:49 -->
00:20:52
If you do and meanwhile you die, you
00:20:52 -->
00:20:54
know, may Allah make your life longer.
00:20:54 -->
00:20:57
So, you know, Allah will forgive you inshallah.
00:20:57 -->
00:20:59
But people should make effort like a debt.
00:20:59 -->
00:21:02
So if you, you know, owe some money
00:21:02 -->
00:21:03
to someone, you have to pay back.
00:21:03 -->
00:21:05
So these things are a dayan of Allah.
00:21:05 -->
00:21:07
You know, people have to pay them back.
00:21:10 -->
00:21:11
Barakallahu khair Sheikh.
00:21:11 -->
00:21:13
The next question is by Daniel who asks,
00:21:14 -->
00:21:16
I currently own a house on mortgage and
00:21:16 -->
00:21:18
I'm looking to buy a second home.
00:21:18 -->
00:21:21
I've placed an order to lease quite an
00:21:21 -->
00:21:22
expensive one for two years.
00:21:22 -->
00:21:25
Would I be sinful in not using this
00:21:25 -->
00:21:26
money to overpay the mortgage?
00:21:28 -->
00:21:30
Mortgage is a separate thing.
00:21:30 -->
00:21:31
You know, people need a house.
00:21:31 -->
00:21:33
You buy a house on mortgage and also
00:21:33 -->
00:21:34
people need a car.
00:21:35 -->
00:21:36
So they can have also, you know, they
00:21:36 -->
00:21:37
can buy a car.
00:21:37 -->
00:21:40
Two different needs, you know, not that you
00:21:40 -->
00:21:41
have a house, you cannot have a car
00:21:41 -->
00:21:43
or you have a car, you cannot have
00:21:43 -->
00:21:43
a house.
00:21:44 -->
00:21:45
There are two different needs, two different uses.
00:21:46 -->
00:21:48
But what you should not do to buy
00:21:48 -->
00:21:51
expensive cars because, you know, you buy the
00:21:51 -->
00:21:54
cars, which is, you know, helpful for your
00:21:54 -->
00:21:55
needs.
00:21:55 -->
00:21:56
You know, not too expensive.
00:21:57 -->
00:21:59
You know, intention should not to show off
00:21:59 -->
00:22:01
and to be proud and arrogant rather than
00:22:01 -->
00:22:03
to do your need.
00:22:03 -->
00:22:05
So I'm, what summary of the matter is
00:22:05 -->
00:22:07
you can have a mortgage, but you also
00:22:07 -->
00:22:08
can buy a car.
00:22:08 -->
00:22:11
There's no harm in that, but don't buy
00:22:11 -->
00:22:13
an expensive car, you know, buy a car,
00:22:13 -->
00:22:15
which is moderate, something medium.
00:22:18 -->
00:22:19
Jazakallahu khairan Sheikh.
00:22:19 -->
00:22:21
The next question is by Abdullah who asks,
00:22:22 -->
00:22:26
some extreme opinions on gender interaction made me
00:22:26 -->
00:22:30
so hypersexual such that I can only look
00:22:30 -->
00:22:32
at the opposite gender as a fitna.
00:22:33 -->
00:22:35
I can't have a healthy interaction with my
00:22:35 -->
00:22:36
relatives.
00:22:36 -->
00:22:37
What should I do?
00:22:38 -->
00:22:39
You know, the thing is that in the
00:22:39 -->
00:22:43
society, you always find people who are extreme,
00:22:44 -->
00:22:47
you know, to avoid those people, read the
00:22:47 -->
00:22:50
Quran, read the Sunnah, read the moderate opinion.
00:22:51 -->
00:22:53
And inshallah, one day it will help you,
00:22:53 -->
00:22:56
you know, sometimes extreme opinions can be damaging
00:22:56 -->
00:22:58
your mind and harming you so much.
00:22:58 -->
00:23:01
But once you start realizing that that mistake
00:23:01 -->
00:23:04
and you come to, you know, understand to
00:23:04 -->
00:23:06
understand things, it will be fine inshallah.
00:23:06 -->
00:23:08
You know, problem really is people think that
00:23:08 -->
00:23:10
we have duty to hate the women.
00:23:11 -->
00:23:13
Muslims don't have a duty to hate the
00:23:13 -->
00:23:13
women.
00:23:13 -->
00:23:15
Women are part of the life.
00:23:15 -->
00:23:17
You know, you have to have interact with
00:23:17 -->
00:23:18
them.
00:23:18 -->
00:23:19
You learn from them.
00:23:19 -->
00:23:20
They learn from you.
00:23:20 -->
00:23:21
You teach them.
00:23:21 -->
00:23:23
They teach you your transaction.
00:23:23 -->
00:23:24
You buy from them.
00:23:24 -->
00:23:25
You sell to them.
00:23:26 -->
00:23:28
You know, you passing by.
00:23:28 -->
00:23:30
You can ask them the road, the address.
00:23:31 -->
00:23:31
They can ask you.
00:23:32 -->
00:23:33
You have taxi.
00:23:33 -->
00:23:35
They can use your taxi or they drive
00:23:35 -->
00:23:35
the taxi.
00:23:36 -->
00:23:37
You know, daily life.
00:23:37 -->
00:23:40
Many women interact, especially the family people, you
00:23:40 -->
00:23:41
know, your cousins and all these people.
00:23:41 -->
00:23:42
They have need.
00:23:43 -->
00:23:45
They, you know, you can't just hate women
00:23:45 -->
00:23:46
and remain in their life.
00:23:46 -->
00:23:47
It's very bad manner.
00:23:47 -->
00:23:48
It will harm you.
00:23:49 -->
00:23:52
So understand this properly that many women both
00:23:52 -->
00:23:54
are killed by God and they need each
00:23:54 -->
00:23:55
other.
00:23:55 -->
00:23:57
What is not allowed is that any sexual
00:23:57 -->
00:23:59
relation without the marriage.
00:23:59 -->
00:24:00
That's not allowed.
00:24:00 -->
00:24:02
That what you need to avoid and anything
00:24:02 -->
00:24:03
which can cause that.
00:24:03 -->
00:24:05
So for example, don't be with a woman
00:24:05 -->
00:24:09
in privacy alone in a room, in a
00:24:09 -->
00:24:11
house where nobody else is there.
00:24:11 -->
00:24:12
Shaitan can come, but you can meet them
00:24:12 -->
00:24:15
in a public space like a classroom, like
00:24:15 -->
00:24:17
the mosque, like in a house where many
00:24:17 -->
00:24:19
other people are there and the people are
00:24:19 -->
00:24:21
wearing, you know, decent clothes.
00:24:22 -->
00:24:24
You can meet all wedding parties where they
00:24:24 -->
00:24:25
have, you know, proper clothing.
00:24:26 -->
00:24:26
You can meet them there.
00:24:27 -->
00:24:29
So don't exaggerate.
00:24:29 -->
00:24:30
Meaning is that you learn.
00:24:30 -->
00:24:33
You have to force yourself to understand properly
00:24:33 -->
00:24:35
and don't mix those people alone.
00:24:36 -->
00:24:38
Again, you know, learn from the people who
00:24:38 -->
00:24:39
teach you the moderate things.
00:24:39 -->
00:24:41
Inshallah, it will help you.
00:24:45 -->
00:24:51
The next question is, if magic is a
00:24:51 -->
00:24:56
trick, then please explain Surah Baqarah, Ayah 102.
00:24:56 -->
00:24:59
Why people of Bani Israel use Tawheed?
00:25:00 -->
00:25:02
I believe this Ayah is about the coming
00:25:02 -->
00:25:03
down of Harut and Marut.
00:25:04 -->
00:25:06
Yeah, you know, things which are trick, still
00:25:06 -->
00:25:08
they can affect your mind.
00:25:08 -->
00:25:09
You don't understand them.
00:25:10 -->
00:25:12
You need to make your mind stronger.
00:25:12 -->
00:25:14
Some people are very strong anyway.
00:25:14 -->
00:25:14
Nobody can affect.
00:25:14 -->
00:25:16
Some people are not so strong that they
00:25:16 -->
00:25:17
need to ask Allah to protect them, to
00:25:17 -->
00:25:18
help them.
00:25:18 -->
00:25:20
So that's why you need to make your
00:25:20 -->
00:25:21
mentally stronger.
00:25:21 -->
00:25:22
So when you trust in Allah, you become
00:25:22 -->
00:25:23
stronger.
00:25:23 -->
00:25:25
Otherwise, magic is really a trick.
00:25:25 -->
00:25:26
People are strong.
00:25:26 -->
00:25:27
It doesn't work in them.
00:25:27 -->
00:25:29
You know, sometimes it could work, but just
00:25:29 -->
00:25:30
a little bit.
00:25:30 -->
00:25:31
You become scared.
00:25:31 -->
00:25:34
You become, you know, like philosophers.
00:25:34 -->
00:25:36
They show you something which does not exist
00:25:36 -->
00:25:39
because of their reasoning, using their mind.
00:25:40 -->
00:25:41
Strong people.
00:25:41 -->
00:25:45
So Allah has taught us this, you know,
00:25:45 -->
00:25:47
to ask Him to protect us.
00:25:47 -->
00:25:49
So when you get protection from Allah, you
00:25:49 -->
00:25:50
are safe.
00:25:50 -->
00:25:52
That's why it is important for the people.
00:25:53 -->
00:25:55
Otherwise, the magicians can do anything in life.
00:25:56 -->
00:25:58
They get all the powers.
00:25:58 -->
00:26:01
And the Quran says magicians don't succeed anywhere.
00:26:04 -->
00:26:07
A magician, wherever he comes, he never gets
00:26:07 -->
00:26:07
success.
00:26:08 -->
00:26:09
So they always fail.
00:26:09 -->
00:26:10
Don't worry about magic.
00:26:10 -->
00:26:12
So I don't understand really that, you know,
00:26:12 -->
00:26:16
every Thursday I answer the question in the
00:26:16 -->
00:26:17
classroom.
00:26:17 -->
00:26:17
I have so many.
00:26:18 -->
00:26:19
But I don't understand why people are so
00:26:19 -->
00:26:24
much deep in the magic, in the black
00:26:24 -->
00:26:29
eye and evil eye and jinn possession.
00:26:29 -->
00:26:30
I don't understand really.
00:26:31 -->
00:26:34
Just leave all this and live a normal
00:26:34 -->
00:26:34
life.
00:26:34 -->
00:26:35
Nothing is there.
00:26:35 -->
00:26:37
You know, just worship Allah and obey Him.
00:26:37 -->
00:26:38
You know, and if you have any problem,
00:26:38 -->
00:26:39
go to a doctor.
00:26:40 -->
00:26:43
I don't understand why everything is black, magic
00:26:43 -->
00:26:45
and evil eye and jinn and this.
00:26:45 -->
00:26:46
It's all useless thing really.
00:26:47 -->
00:26:49
Most time 99% nothing is there.
00:26:50 -->
00:26:51
Jinn don't possess anybody anyway.
00:26:51 -->
00:26:53
And even magic is very little.
00:26:53 -->
00:26:56
You know, I have been living such a
00:26:56 -->
00:26:56
life.
00:26:56 -->
00:26:58
I've been traveling all over the world.
00:26:58 -->
00:26:59
I never saw any magic anywhere in the
00:26:59 -->
00:26:59
world.
00:27:00 -->
00:27:00
Nothing.
00:27:00 -->
00:27:01
It all just made up.
00:27:01 -->
00:27:03
You know, could happen sometime.
00:27:03 -->
00:27:05
But some people get unnecessarily problem.
00:27:05 -->
00:27:06
Everything happens.
00:27:07 -->
00:27:07
Just magic.
00:27:08 -->
00:27:09
So there's nothing like that.
00:27:09 -->
00:27:10
You know, just live a good life.
00:27:11 -->
00:27:13
Trust in Allah and ask Him to protect
00:27:13 -->
00:27:13
you.
00:27:17 -->
00:27:20
The last question we'll take for today is
00:27:20 -->
00:27:22
asks Salam.
00:27:22 -->
00:27:25
Can someone who has been diagnosed with mental
00:27:25 -->
00:27:26
health gradually curse?
00:27:27 -->
00:27:29
He used to curse because he wasn't able
00:27:29 -->
00:27:30
to share what he felt.
00:27:31 -->
00:27:33
But now he is getting better but needs
00:27:33 -->
00:27:34
time to fully recover.
00:27:37 -->
00:27:38
So what is the curse?
00:27:38 -->
00:27:39
He's going to curse.
00:27:39 -->
00:27:40
You know, you're not allowed to curse anybody.
00:27:41 -->
00:27:42
I don't understand what the question means.
00:27:43 -->
00:27:45
If somebody has got a mental health problem.
00:27:45 -->
00:27:47
So if they want to curse anybody, they
00:27:47 -->
00:27:48
should stop.
00:27:48 -->
00:27:50
They should not curse anybody unless they don't
00:27:50 -->
00:27:51
control themselves.
00:27:51 -->
00:27:53
And the words of curse come on their
00:27:53 -->
00:27:55
tongue without intention.
00:27:55 -->
00:27:57
So Allah can forgive them.
00:27:57 -->
00:28:01
But if you can control yourself and you
00:28:01 -->
00:28:04
have got a proper will and power, you
00:28:04 -->
00:28:05
should not abuse anybody.
00:28:05 -->
00:28:06
You should not curse anybody.
00:28:06 -->
00:28:07
You know, cursing in a very bad manner.
00:28:08 -->
00:28:10
You know, even we are not allowed to
00:28:10 -->
00:28:11
curse animals.
00:28:11 -->
00:28:14
So people who harm you, hurt you, you
00:28:14 -->
00:28:15
know, don't worry.
00:28:15 -->
00:28:19
You know, maybe remind them and, you know,
00:28:19 -->
00:28:20
forgive them.
00:28:20 -->
00:28:23
Sometime maybe, you know, something can come on
00:28:23 -->
00:28:24
your tongue.
00:28:24 -->
00:28:25
But be very careful.
00:28:26 -->
00:28:27
Allah's people who forgive.
00:28:28 -->
00:28:30
So, you know, I don't think anybody needs
00:28:30 -->
00:28:31
to curse anybody.
00:28:33 -->
00:28:35
JazakAllah Khayran Shaykh.
00:28:35 -->
00:28:37
JazakAllah Khayran Shaykh for your time.
00:28:37 -->
00:28:39
JazakAllah Khayran everyone else for joining.
00:28:41 -->
00:28:43
That's all we have for today.
00:28:43 -->
00:28:45
InshaAllah if your question wasn't answered, please remember
00:28:45 -->
00:28:45
it.
00:28:46 -->
00:28:47
And we're aiming to answer it next week.
00:28:48 -->
00:28:51
Until then, Asalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
