00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			It's true
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			so blessing from a lesson
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:20
			last year I don't know if you remember but last year Ramadan as well. The days were long but the
weather was beautiful
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			very nice. Yeah
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			maybe maybe only the Muslims are feeling the the cool weather
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			hamdulillah
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:52
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah him hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala Ashleigh feel MBA
University. Maybe you know Mohammed in Allah He Afflalo sada to tasleem probably should actually use
odd way of silly embryos that have been disseny of Gabor GodI. My brothers and sisters in Islam as
an mRNA Kumara to Mahabharata capsule.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:23
			It's very true. So Pamela, you know, we're just talking about the weather. And I started this and I
remember yesterday, there's a brother in Sydney, Australia, who watched the live streaming of
veritasium. And he says, Mashallah, you know, amazing halaqaat even with the heat, right, even with
the heat, you can still have the heat and the long days and we have our energy and, and, you know,
we're full and ready to do our
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:37
			Sydney, Sydney, Dubai, London, many different places, Panama, now they're all going to start writing
it, you're gonna see they're all going to start typing. Where are you from? In fact, I should tell
them no, you know, let us know where you from. Let's see.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:02:21
			All right at later in sha Allah Subhana Allah it's Yeah. And last night's viewing I think. I
remember seeing it. I didn't check it, but it reached 100. And I think 50,000 views like people had
viewed the post, the people who actually watch it and who are viewing watching at this moment right
now, we just started this 30. So the numbers going up, have that law that says very interesting, you
know, how we can use technology, and people in different parts of the world. Like there was one
brother in Dubai. He said, you know, we were watching from Dubai. I said while Mashallah from
devices, our whole family sits down and watches the
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:32
			technology nowadays, where you don't need to travel to go and and learn. You can sit at home in the
comfort of your home in a different time zone and still benefit.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:42
			So they follow on Facebook. And so I'm broadcasting it through Facebook. And
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:27
			yeah, that's it. So a lot of people say it's a sad book or a fitna book, but we say this is
hamdulillah blessing. It depends on how you use it depends on how you use things. I remember when I
was younger, and I know this sidetracks will just take one more minute. When I was younger, there
was a friend of ours in the mustard who had this debate with the email that Imam was saying we
cannot use projectors, because he says, and this was because you know there was a sister who was
teaching sisters only halaqa in the masjid. And the Imam said we don't want you to use the the
projector in the masjid because you might project something on the wall that you know maybe is not
		
00:03:27 --> 00:04:04
			permissible, not not right. And you're using it inside the masjid. So he said as an example, maybe
you're going to project like the image of you know, those that drew the the cartoon of the Prophet
sallallahu they said they claimed it was the cartoon of the Prophet sallallahu I need to send them
remember years ago in Denmark, right? And so he said, maybe you you know, you might put something
like this on the wall. And this is not permissible. So the the sister who was teaching her brother
went and spoke to the email. And he said, How can you make that claim that she's teaching Islam in
the masjid? And she's qualified to do that she's the daughter of another email, right?
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:38
			And so, you know, he tells the Imam you can you can use anything the right way or the wrong way. So
he asked the Imam, he says, Do you have a car? And he's like, What do you mean? You know, don't
don't think you're smart. You're young. You know, you're a teenager, you're gonna ask me these
questions. There's no Do you have a car? He says, of course, I have a car everyone has a car. He
says, Well, you can use your car to go to a nightclub and to drink alcohol and commit sins, etc. And
he's like struggling a lot. How can you say this? And the man says, No, I'm not saying that you do
that I'm saying you might use a person could use their car in the right way, or in the wrong way.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:59
			Similarly, someone who was using the projector might use the projector in the right way or the wrong
way. So he says I'm not accusing you, nor should you accuse anyone else of using something in the
right or the wrong way. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah to make it easy for us to understand. You
know how to use things correctly, and how to limit them and you know, keep them
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:20
			moderation within our lives. How do we move on today we're going to be covering soda Toba from where
we left off we were at the beginning of October, we will also go through the entire sort of
universe. Of course, we're not going to do the entire pseudo but just some of the verses. And we
will go up until verse number 49 of pseudo houde verse number 49 of Sudoku, inshallah. Tada.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:57
			So we left off yesterday, verse number three of sorta Toba and I was explaining and I remember there
were a lot more people here and they were all interested, they wanted to know the answer. And
they'll know it now in sha Allah, because they're not here. So last time, it shows us in verse
number five of sola Toba how some people cut and paste or they they will chop the verses of the
Quran, and only take parts of it to show what they're trying to prove to prove their points. And so
a lot of people will take verse number five, where Allah subhanho wa Taala says, emotionally keen
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			to move
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			on.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			But then a loss of hanway talent goes on to say for
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:11
			smaller
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:45
			zecca Hello SME loan in ma umahi team. They never quote that part of the verse. They never quote the
part that where Allah Subhana Allah says but if they repent to the established prayer that gives
zecca then let them go, leave them alone, don't bother them. And indeed, Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful. Now why did Allah subhana wa attallah reveal this verse? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam Remember we said he sent a robot cuddle dilemma and early on the alarm rang.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:28
			Forth he sent them forward to go in to convey this message to the machete coin, the non believers,
the idol worshippers that were living within Mecca. And this was at the time where mcca is now
sacred. mcca is a place that they are no longer allowed to make the wafaa around the Kaaba, naked,
because during the time of, we could say jelly before Islam, even in the time of Islam, when the
Muslims were not allowed to live in Mecca, up until the time up until this time, which was just
before the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, the missionary Kuhn those that would
come to Mecca to the carrabba, to perform pilgrimage, and to offer things to the to the false gods
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:34
			that they had there. And we know there was 360 of them. When the prophet SAW a lot more, I think it
was some of them conquered Mecca,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:08:16
			they would go in and during the day, the men would perform the wealth, and they would perform both
naked. And during the night, the woman would go and perform fall off make it around the cabin. And
so the profits on a long way it was seldom now is conveying the message through this a habit of the
alarm, I'm home that you are no longer allowed to perform the walk around the camera, without your
clothing on, nor are you allowed to go to the cabin and enter mcca if you're not someone who
believes solely in Allah subhanho wa Taala as the one and only true God to be worshipped. So they
take these verses and they cut them and they paste them those that you know try to use it against
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:51
			Islam. And what the prophet sallallahu wasallam did was he told the mushy corn, the non believers
that were living within Makkah at the time, he told them if any of you have a an act, you have some
sort of an agreement that shows you're allowed to stay or we made an agreement with you that you can
live up until a certain amount of time, you can stay safely until that contract is over. Once it's
done, you will need to leave from this place. This is a place where only the Muslims can reside now,
secondly, another thing that was mentioned to them was
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:36
			those who don't have a treaty with the Muslims, they can stay for four months, you can remain there
for four months from this day. After four months, you need to leave. Within these four months you
are expected to go and find a safe place to live a safe place to reside, either make an allegiance
or some sort of treaty with another tribe or another group of people in a different village, a
different town where you will be able to live safely you can do that within these four months.
That's fine. Then after four months, you must leave. However the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
also and Allah Subhana Allah Allah permitted them to do this. If after four months, they did not
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:59
			find a safe place to live, this part of the verse does not apply to them. So where it says, you
know, telling the Muslims catch the non believers where you find them as in within monka they're
hiding and staying and they're doing that because they refuse to leave. Then catch them and get them
out of these lands right fight them. Why are they staying behind?
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			It's because they intentionally want to stay behind for some unnecessary purpose, right? They want
to cause some trouble, whatever it is. And so those that are stay that stay behind after the four
months that come to the Muslims and say, Listen, I tried to find a safe place to move myself and my
family, but I could not find anything up until now, then the command of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is to help them find a safe place to live. So so kinda, you know, people take these
verses, and they just look at it and say, oh, Allah commands the Muslim to go and kill all the non
Muslims know, the context of what was taking place was that those that could not find a safe place
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:21
			after four months, and they were trying to find a place but they couldn't, then the Muslims will
actively help you to find a place to go and live safely, safely with your family. Except for those
that do not want to leave intentionally, and they are refusing to stay, and they don't want to pray.
They don't want to fast they don't want to be believers, and they don't want to go and find another
place to live. Then Allah subhana wa tada shows us that you must take action against them. Now it
sounds really harsh when you read that part of the verse. But when you think of it, so Pamela, we go
to certain places like Canada, like the US, if you don't have a visa to be there, then get out.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:48
			You're not allowed to be there. If your passport is not valid for six months, and you're trying to
travel into a country, they'll tell you we're sorry, you can't come. You can't come You can't you
know, you can't reside here You must leave. And anyone who tries to get in illegally, or breaks the
law or does things that they shouldn't do, then we know that the law is going to take action against
them. And so there's nothing wrong with that now, nor was there anything wrong with it at the time
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:06
			We move on to verses number 17 and 18 of Seoul October and we're behind but we will catch up in sha
Allah Allah. Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us here in Nima Yara Moodle. messaggi don't ma human an

00:12:20 --> 00:13:08
			daddy in Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us here in verse number 17 and 18 Sorry, I forgot to read
verse number 17 that's my mistake. Allah Subhana Allah says mccannon and machete kina Yamamoto
messaggi de la Isha he Dena Allah and forcing him bilko will you can have your thoughts armello
machinery karate Dune, Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us that it is not for the most unicorn the
machine those that are worshiping other than Allah subhanho wa Taala it's not fit for them to be the
people that build the massage it or to maintain the massage it now when we talk about the massage it
first and foremost the scholars have to say that this applies directly to must be the Hara
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:37
			right must be the heroine which is the mustard built around the Kava. Okay, so maintaining the Kava
and the mustard that is built around it mccannon in Michigan and Yamamoto massage de la jolla here
shahidi in Ireland and 14 will go for in the next verse, Allah subhanho wa Taala says in Nima Yamato
messaggi the law he must be law he will young will acid and the verse goes on. So the non believers
are not to maintain the masjid especially mustard they'll hold on. Why? Why can't they maintain most
of them?
		
00:13:38 --> 00:14:22
			At the time of Javea and prior to Islam, they used to as we see in verse number 19, a GI Tom sakarya
el * were not invested in mosquito harem comm and M and a villa he will your will athlete Do you
place on the same level, the person who gives Zamzam or gives water gives provisions to those who
come to perform pilgrimage. There simply serving water to them or serving food to them. Do you put
them at the same level as those who believe in the Day of Judgment, they believe in the law, they
believe in the Day of Judgment, they believe in the hereafter they believe in the books, they
believe in the profits, they believe in, you know, having to pay their salaries, etc. All of the the
		
00:14:22 --> 00:15:00
			Pillars of Islam and the pillars of men, they fulfill them. They're not at the same level. One is
just a person who's serving food or water to the person who's thirsty. Another is someone who
believes now we'll give you a more simplified example. Because I know sometimes we can't make the
connection. To simplify it. Our must adhere we know that it's clean and hamdulillah it's a place
that we pray. And we know that if a child or someone is in the masjid and let's say you know maybe
they start bleeding or for some reason they you know urinates maybe a child urinates on the carpet,
we know how to clean islamically we know what we're supposed to do.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:42
			However, if there's a non Muslim that's maintaining the mustard, would they know how to clean the
mustard? Would they know what's pure for us and what's not pure? Would they know what things we can
use to make our place of worship clean, and what things we can't use? They don't. Similarly, for
example, I know, you know, half of my, my relatives are not Muslim, my mom's side of the family,
they're not Muslim. And so, so kind of, when I, recently one of my, my cousin's my mom's cousin, her
husband passed away here in Toronto. And I went to the funeral, and it took place in the church. And
so when I went to the church, I was thinking the same things like there's things in the church,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:16:18
			you're seeing the priest, he's doing things he's taking, you know, one thing to another place, he
has his napkin, or you know, a handkerchief, and he covers that golden vessel. And then he takes it
off, and he folds it nicely. And he places underneath puts the vessel on top. He's doing all of
those things out of respect for their religion, and the things that they believe in. Now, as an as,
as someone who's a Muslim, who does not know the church, so Well, I mean, I know quite a bit of the
church, but someone who does not know the average Muslim who goes into a church, they might see that
handkerchief sitting on the table, and they take it, no, you're not supposed to touch that. That's
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:52
			not for you to touch. Or they might get thirsty, and they're looking around for water, and they take
this cup, and they go and they pour some water, Hey, wait a second, that's the cup that belongs to
the priest, he uses this for his rituals, and so on. So you can't just go and take things you don't
know what is clean for you to use. Are you supposed to touch it? Can you move things around? You
know, and this is why we respect the places of worship. Even in the times of battle, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when this a habit of the Allahu anhu would go out in battle, there were
certain things that they were told to respect, from the things that they were meant made to respect
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:00
			are the places of worship, even if it was a place of worship of other people, like other religions,
they were made to respect it.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:34
			And so Subhanallah, even in battle, when we're conquering lens, and people say, oh, there's Jihad
and the holy wars and you're going in, we are made to respect the elderly, the young, the children,
the women, we are made to respect the religious people, the people of other religions, who are in
their places of worship as well, or they're simply religious people we are made to respect them,
they're not taking up arms, they're they're not fighting against you do not fight them. You're made
to respect the homes of people you're made to respect the,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:49
			the the agriculture that's growing the trees, the plants, etc. There's so many things that this
habit of the long run home when they were fighting, they were told to respect you cannot destroy
that. And so Subhana Allah, this is, you know, part of our Deen that we learned
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:26
			that as believers, we also have conditions in our massages, that we should have this place
maintained by people who believe in Allah subhana wa tada a simple example, you have the most half
the Koran sitting on the shelf, imagine someone leaves it, you know, just here, or they leave it on
the table and cleaners who are non non Muslim, they come in and they see this, and they take it off
the table they put on the floor, right. And maybe they come in, first of all with their shoes,
because they don't know that this is a place to pray. All right, they think it's okay, it's just a
carpeted room with lines on, you know, a floor that has lines on it. And so they come in and they
		
00:18:26 --> 00:19:01
			just do what they're supposed to do, just like they go and clean a bathroom, they walk in with their
shoes on, their hands are not so clean, maybe they're wearing gloves. And those gloves are gloves
that they used to clean inside of the toilets. And now they come into the mustard and they see the
must have on the table and they pick up the Quran with the same gloves that they use to clean the
toilet. This is this is the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala it contains the words of Allah subhanho
wa Taala Hannah laryea masuku inland motoharu the people that are clean are the ones that are
supposed to touch it, not those that are not clean, and we make sure that we respect it as well.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:27
			It's permitted to put the coroner actually I don't want to, I don't want to get into too much detail
because we're just gonna, you know, go on and we won't finish. But just as to finish my sentence.
It's actually permitted to put the Quran on the floor. It's permitted. But out of respect, we don't
do it. And this is something that we need to learn it's part of our Deen it's permitted to put it on
the floor why simple example you're praying or is the most?
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:39
			And I'll give this as an example because it's on Amazon. A lot of people ask this question how do we
hold the Quran when we're praying? Tada, we and we're reciting from it. So you're, you know, you're
looking through the Quran
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:54
			as you're reciting until are we and then you go into the report, where do you put the most half? How
do you make your report properly if you're holding this in your hand, part of rapport is to put your
hand on your knee, right? Fine, a person might put this their
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			connection is back on so part of
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:37
			of report is, is to put our hands on our knees. So someone might put it under their arm and make the
report properly. But then you see people going into sujood. And when they make sudo, they will put
this hand flat on the ground, but this hand they will hold the Quran and put the top part of their
hand on the ground. Is that how we make salute? No, it's not how do we make the dude we put our
palms on the ground? And so what does the person do with the must have folded under their chin? No,
they don't hold it under their chin, how are they going to make their suit properly? Right? Some
people may be gifted and they can do that. But even that is not respectful to the court. And what's
		
00:20:37 --> 00:21:14
			respectful is, and I encourage those that hold the must have in their hand, have something on the
ground in front of you. Maybe it's you know, even sometimes I tell people take your Toby off if you
want. Put your Toby on the ground when you go into salute, put your foot on on your Toby helaas is
there on the ground? No, it's not. And I know we use the word dopey because we're half Pakistani
right. And so what a person would do is if they have nothing to put on the ground, simply take the
most half and place it on the ground nicely in front of you make your son's done, come up, go back
make your such that you're standing up again, you pick it up from the ground Alhamdulillah out of
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:44
			respect, we do not put the most half on the ground. But is it permissible? Do we get sinned? If we
put it on the ground? No, there's nothing that indicates that we become sinful if we put the most
half or the Quran on the ground in front of us. We do it out of respect. Similarly, we keep the must
have in a safe place. We protect our mustard by having people that believe in Allah subhanho wa
Taala as the cleaners of the mustard. Yes. I don't want to open it up to questions, but we'll just
do it because I'm sure it's related to that.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:31
			Okay, good question. Is it allowed to read from the most half when a person is praying taught are we
it's permitted to read from the must have when you're praying any prayer? That is not the compulsory
prayers, okay, as long as it's not a compulsory prayer. Secondly, if the Imam is the most learned
person and he does not know much of the Quran, then it's okay. He can read from the from the Koran,
or you have no one who's a half of the liquid, but to say no, you know, because his recitation is
nice. So we're going to ask him to lead while reading from the most half. But there's someone else
who, you know, is a half of a Koran. But people just don't like his recitation as much. No, we
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:49
			should let the person who's more learned more versed, well versed in the Quran, lead the Torah we
and Allah subhana wa tada knows best. It is permissible though. To do that, let's move on in sha
Allah. Verse number 19. Someone who believes will protect the sanctity of the house of Allah subhana
wa danas. We just finished mentioning
		
00:22:52 --> 00:23:01
			verses number 34 to 35 of Toba 34 to 35. Allah subhanahu atana says here, yeah, a Johan Edina.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			Bernina coluna.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			si bien.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:24:02
			Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us here and he warns us, He warns us to make sure that we do not
become like this, nor do we give in to people of this sort. He warns us against corrupt scholars and
misguided worshipers. He says, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Oh, you were believed, indeed many of
the scholars and the monks devour the wealth of people unjustly and avert them away from Allah
subhanho wa Taala. We see this happening in many countries, you know, I travel a lot to learn as a
blessing from Allah subhanho wa Taala. To be able to witness and see things that happen around the
world. I've been to places where massage it mustard, and there's big signs, beautiful, you know,
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:45
			architecture Masjid, so and so you know, it says the name of the mustard, and you go in, and I
remember entering the mustard or entering the the parking lot, parking the car and hearing the other
end, instead of people going into the mustard. I'm seeing people go into this small building on the
site, and how that was like a shrine. It was a place where someone was buried. The founder of the
masjid, who was a pious person who possibly in his life never ever asked ever for a person to come
and visit their grave and to offer things and to pray to them before going to pray to Allah. But
what I saw was people going to that grave, standing there crying, leaning against it, making your
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:59
			eye to the grave to the grave, because you can hear them people say, Well, maybe they were making a
lot just facing that direction. No, you can hear what they're saying because they're weeping out
loud. You can understand what they're what they're saying to the person in the grave. And then
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:43
			It's time for slaughter, they would leave and go and pray their prayers. Allah. So Allah subhanho wa
Taala shows us and now the example there is not that this person who was in the grave asked for
people to do that. But that's a way that people make money. corrupt scholars, corrupt leaders
corrupt. Mmm, even in our Deen. I know it's referring to above right? The monks, for example. But
even in Islam, people who claim to be followers of Allah subhana wa Island, the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, we see that people do this to make money. People will go and offer things, they
will put money on the grave, and there'll be someone there ready to collect it? Where does this
		
00:25:43 --> 00:26:21
			money go? It goes to maintaining the mustard, or it goes to the pocket of the Imam, or the people
that organize it. I remember one of our teachers telling us if you want to go visit the grave of
certain pious people in certain countries, to enter, you need to buy flowers. To enter you need to
buy flowers. So outside, they're selling flowers. So you go and you buy this bouquet of flowers or
you buy you know, two or three flowers or one rose. Now you're thinking, how much money can they
make off this flower? You're just giving them a flower that a man is not making money. He's not you
know, he can't take a dozen flowers and go and fill up his tank of gas with flowers. No, but the
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:59
			people that are selling the flowers outside the mustard that's organized by the mustard as well. Or
by and when I say the mustard, it's because the shrine is usually attached to or right next to the
mustard. And so the grave, people will go and buy flowers, go inside the room, offer it every half
an hour, 30 minutes, they will close the room off, we need to close it for cleaning. What are they
cleaning? How dirty did it get in 30 minutes, they're not cleaning it. They're taking the same
flowers that people put around the grave. They're bringing it out the back door and collecting them
properly and bringing it to the vendor who's going to resell the same flowers in the same day to
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:37
			make loads and loads of money so that it goes in the pockets of the people that are simply deceiving
those that are coming thinking they're visiting a grave and offering something you know to the
person to the grave or just beautifying it by putting a rose on it etc. So look at how people twist
the deen Allah subhanho wa Taala warns us here to be careful beware of these people who use things
in order to put money in their pockets. And they will use the dean sometimes and twist words of the
of the prophets and along with it, who ascend them they will twist verses of the Quran to try and
make people believe that this is the truth. That is not the truth. That is not what they're doing.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:56
			That is not what I lost my hand with Allah wants us to do. In verse number 16, Allah subhana wa
Jalla discusses xhaka and we will go through the different categories of those who are deserving of
zakat. Allah Subhana which Allah begins and says in Masada TuneIn for Pato
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:04
			key in To begin, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions that son of God.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:48
			And here in this verse, the scholars of Tafseer say that this is referring to even though the word
zecca is not mentioned, this is describing the people the categories of people that are deserving of
collecting Zakat, Zakat zecca, not just the typical sadaqa that you give. So firstly, the poor and
the needy. Now what is the difference between someone who's poor and someone who's needy, the poor
is someone who's actually apparently poor, like, you could see that this person is poor. And they
might even go and beg. That's how poor they are. They have no food, they need to go and ask for
food. Okay, the needy is a person who it might be one of us, we're sitting here, none of us here
		
00:28:48 --> 00:29:28
			looks like we're needy. But no one knows the condition of that person. And that person might have a
house, they might have a car, but they can no longer afford to keep it. Maybe they lost their job.
So they're not poor in the sense that, you know, they have no home and they have no car and they
have no clothing and they have no food. They have the car, they have the home, they have the food,
they have the clothing, but maybe they lost their job. Maybe they're going through a hardship. Maybe
the person who own sorry, the person who was looking after the house, the father passed away. And
now the mother is a single mother raising these children. She's in need, she's needy, or that person
		
00:29:28 --> 00:30:00
			that family is in need. They have the house, they have the car, they have clothing, but maybe they
can no longer afford to maintain it. Now they're in need. So that person, you know, we will look
into it and analyze it the people who are giving distributing, they will look into their situation
and say maybe you don't need three cars, you can sell two and keep one. Maybe you can downsize on
the house, you can sell the big house and buy something smaller. So they will help them to go
through it. Those are the first two categories There are eight. The third category is the employed
collectors. So the people who actually
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:36
			Actively go and collect Zakah it is permissible for a portion of the Zakat that we give to be taken
out to pay the salary of those that collect zecca. It's permissible. So the next time someone says
pay yours account through this organization or that organization, or the people that are collecting
and distributing this account, their salaries come from it and everyone gets really angry and says,
Well, that's an administrative fee. It's not permissible. No, it is permissible, it is permissible
for an eight to go to that okay, a portion of it to go to those who collect the Zakat money. The
fourth category is
		
00:30:37 --> 00:31:20
			those inclined towards Islam, those who are inclined towards Islam, we can use some of the Zakat
money on them. Someone is interested in Islam, we can you know, use it for them, buy something for
them, etc, maybe a gift, or they might be interested in Islam. And because they're interested in
Islam, their family, you know, bans them from returning to the house. So where are they going to get
assistance from? We use some of the money for that. Number five, but a god freeing a slave? Do we
have slaves our time? No, we don't. But you can use this in different ways. I know I was asking one
of our teachers about this. What about a Muslim who is imprisoned or was arrested? unjustly? Can we
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:57
			pay for their bail using this Zakat money? And he was saying yes, if that's if that's the case, and
it's known that this person did not do anything wrong, and you know, you want to free them from jail
until you know they're there. They're done with a court case or they go to court, etc. Then pay for
the bill. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best. Number six, the indebted a person who has a debt, you
borrowed some money, you can't pay it off, you're trying you're doing your best, but it's not
working. You can't pay off the debt. Someone says, Okay, I'm going to use my account money to pay
the debt of that person. Alhamdulillah you can do that. Number seven cause of Allah sorry, yeah, to
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:35
			use it for the cause of Allah subhanho wa Taala Hannah. So for example, during the time of the
Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, when they had an expedition where they would go out, travel,
and maybe have a battle, they did not have horses, they didn't have armor, they didn't have swords,
they didn't have food, they didn't have water, they didn't have provisions, clothing, etc. Those
that gave Zakat you can use some of the Zakat money for that. Now today in modern times, some of the
scholars say that this portion is is can also be used for building massage it For example, some of
the scholars Samus Personally, I think there's a lot of poor and needy that need the money and I
		
00:32:35 --> 00:33:12
			don't think we need to put hours account money into building our massage it here in Canada, maybe in
other parts of the world, that's a different story. But here in Canada, I think many of us have
enough money that we can help to build financially maintain our massages, and still pay for our
account separately. Okay, some of the scholars say that this you know, you can give yours account
money to building the massage but honestly speaking, let's put it towards those that are in more
need. We can pray Our our sought out we have enough place to pray Our Salah regularly Alhamdulillah.
The eighth category is to be a traveler, actually going back to the cause of Allah. Another category
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:16
			number seven, which I like to add here is the student of knowledge.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:55
			Someone who's dedicating their time, their energy their life, to studying the deen, someone who's a
student. I remember when we were students in Medina, Subhana Allah sometimes it was really rough.
Sometimes it was rough, like you had three reels left on you at the end of the month. And you're
like, yeah, Allah, when are they going to, you know, give us our McAfee. Because every month we
would get 842 miles, which is like about $200. Right, that's how much we would get for the entire
month to spend. And that would include spending on your food spending on your clothing, spending on
your transportation spending on whatever you need. The only thing that was free was our tuition and
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:35
			our boarding so we would live in the room for free, but we'd have to still eat etc. Through our own
money. And so sometimes at the end of the month, you know, money was tight. I remember buying on one
real, you know, yogurt, and I was like, Okay, I'm gonna buy one real yogurt. And my roommate would
use one rail and buy hubs, a piece of bread, the big Afghani bread. So Pamela, just the smell of it
is beautiful. And we would split the bread and the yogurt and we would eat that together to reality
buys to people much hamdulillah that was lunch sometimes. Right? You just didn't have enough money
at the end of the month. And so some handleless students that are studying in different parts of the
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:59
			world we should be helping them regularly trying to help them why because they're going to come back
and inshallah Anna, they'll be our leaders, there'll be our Imams, so let's help them so that they
can get through their situations easier. And focus concentrate more on their studies rather than
saying you know what, now I need to go get a part time job. I need to do this. I need to do that.
However the student that is working a part time job that is struggling, that is going through
hardships, that is part of the package.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:32
			As part of the package, you need to struggle. Deen learning the deen doesn't just come easily. So
those that are watching there might be students saying oh you know what now Alhamdulilah is contact
everyone that must have a villa and say Hey, remember you attended the halaqa give us your money so
we can go and study easily and comfortably and then they start buying nice clothing and nice shoes
and they're just living it up and enjoying themselves. No, you need to struggle this Deen does not
come to you unless you struggle to acquire it. You will need to struggle you need to sacrifice
especially the students of knowledge. So those that are going through hardships and their students
		
00:35:32 --> 00:36:09
			of knowledge, understand that that is from Allah subhanho wa Taala you are meant to go through that.
Number eight Ignis, Sabine the traveler, and this is the last category, the person who is traveling
or the family that is traveling, you can use your Zakat money for them to help them, let's say
they're traveling and they don't have a place to stay. And their provisions are running low. And
they you know, looking for maybe, you know, maybe they need a hotel, maybe they need some food,
maybe they have been traveling for some time going from one place to another. And don't think of
travel like you get into your car and you're traveling from here to Ottawa. No, think of travel as
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:09
			in,
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:44
			you know, someone who left Syria, and is now in Turkey, and then going from Turkey to maybe another
country, France and then going from France to maybe Canada and they're a traveler, they're still
trying to find their way they don't know where they're going. They're trying to settle down
somewhere. Use your money towards people that are traveling. However, the person that is traveling
as well that might come from Ottawa to Toronto, and they're a traveler, do some sadaqa for them,
fill up their tank of gas for them, buy them lunch, have them stay at your place, or check them into
a hotel, do something nice for them so that it makes the travel easier for them and not more
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:44
			difficult.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:51
			Let's move on to sudah Yunus, which is the 10th surah of the Quran.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:37:31
			In surah Yunus we will skip to verse number 18. Allah subhanho wa Taala says here and shows us in
verse number 18, that the Muslim woman worship What does not benefit them? Why are we doing them in
doing the law a man or woman when a young Pharaoh home, they will worship what has you know no
benefit to them whatsoever. And that's you know, something for us to understand. As we will go
through this sutra and then the next surah in Surah houde we look at the story of Noah Halle has set
out what was the sin of the people of no highlight his Salah, what did they begin to do that was
never done before that?
		
00:37:35 --> 00:38:20
			What did they do that was never done before the people of New la has set up. They began to worship
idols that was never done before the time of no holidays. They were the first that began to worship
idols at the time of new Allah has sent them. Now this was 10 generations or 10 centuries, we could
say a generation is usually about a century, right? Especially at the time of the people of the past
like Adam and Sam lived to be 960 years. That was because he gave 40 years to WWE his setup because
that would Allah His surname was only going to live 60 years. And he asked Allah subhanho wa Taala
how many years would that would live? And he said 60 years and so he gave he's asked Allah Subhana
		
00:38:20 --> 00:39:05
			Allah to take 40 years from his life and give it to download Allah has sent out. And so Adam alayhis
salam live 960 years, and no, sorry, dellwood Allah Hassan live to be 100 so in verse number 18,
Allah Subhana Allah shows us that the Muslim woman they worshipped and they continue to worship even
now what does not benefit them? You know, some handle I when I was living in Malaysia, I remember
going to battle caves. And we have Malaysians that are watching as well, and went to battle caves
where they have the Hindu god known as Murugan, who they claim to be a God, we just say God because
that's we are tributing to what they do, right. So they have the Moodle gun, which is this massive
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:46
			golden, you know, statue, and Pamela is in front of the battle caves, this mountain that has caves
in it. And so you go up, walk up the steps and every year on type person, right type Busan, which is
the celebration where they go, they carry this pot of milk on their heads, they shave their heads,
even the women and they carry this pot of milk up the mountain on the steps and it's 200 something
steps and they go up there and there's small little shrines, little little shrines and they offer
the milk to those little shrines up there Right. And so it doesn't have any benefit to them. No
there's no benefit whatsoever. That statue that's made out of stone or that bamboo that's there that
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:59
			sorry the not about to the the the false god Moodle gun who they claim to be a god is standing
there, you know, painted in gold and doesn't move doesn't do anything for anyone. It's stiff. Never,
ever
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:37
			moves, even if you tripped and fell down the stairs of about two caves, that God, the statue of the
God that they claim to be there would not bow down and help pick that person up wouldn't know the
person would come tumbling down the 200 something steps. And so we ask Allah subhana wa tada to
grant us the ability to understand that our Lord our Creator, even though when we fall down the
stairs, we noticed that we fall and we hurt ourselves, but we understand we believe that this is
from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And at times when a person is about to trip, maybe Allah subhana wa
tada saves them and protects them from falling, and maybe they only dropped what was in their heads,
		
00:40:37 --> 00:41:19
			right? And Allah Subhana, Allah to Allah knows best. In verse number 23 of surah Yunus Allah
subhanho wa Taala shows us here in the middle of the verse it says, Yeah, a yohannes. In both yocom
Allah and fusi come, our injustice is only against our own selves, whatever injustice is that we do,
as human beings. Yeah, you handed us a lot calls out to people in general, not just to the
believers, in abellio, from whatever in justices we do, it doesn't harm anything or anyone else in
society except our own selves. So a simple example yesterday, the shooting that happened in
		
00:41:20 --> 00:42:01
			Orlando, right, a lot of people talked about it from different angles, saying, you know, Islam does
not does not permit this, etc. But what does Allah Subhana Allah say, your injustices only harm your
own self. Now this person know, Allah Subhana, which Allah knows best if he was living as a
practicing Muslim, if he believed or not the one knows best. It's mentioned in I was just reading a
report now in one of the newspapers saying that the Imam of the masjid said this man used to go to
the mustard with his son. And I started to think you know, about his son, how will this child now
live the rest of his life, knowing what his father did, how people are talking so bad about him? At
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:44
			the bottom of the article, one of the neighbors says, I knew this family for many years. That's what
the the neighbor is saying that they've known the family for many years, and their heart goes out to
them. But if they were part of planning, or they were part of this action, then may they rot in
*. This is what the neighbor said. So Pamela, how will this child's growing up, read the
newspaper articles of their father when they get older and and be able to have peace of mind? Look
at what this father did? This father now did an injustice to society, that not only harmed society,
it harmed the Muslim Ummah, because it was known that this was someone who used to go to the masjid
		
00:42:44 --> 00:43:26
			and take his son, but look another injustice, injustice to his own family, his son, how will he grow
up now, he will probably grow up to hate Islam as well, I grew up to say, look at what my father
did. And now all the Muslims who had achieved so much in the past little while, especially talking
about and highlighting the things that Muhammad Ali, the boxer had done in his life, and you know,
how he was a philanthropist, philanthropist and trying to help society and so on. All of that talk
now just went out the window, because no one is focusing on it there now focusing on this person who
went and shot some innocent people, even though they were in the nightclub, even though they were
		
00:43:26 --> 00:44:07
			drinking and possibly, you know, committing harm, etc. That is not for us as human beings to take
action against them. Allah subhanho wa Taala will do you know what he feels is his right and just
upon every single one of us, every single one of us, the sinner, as well as the one that is trying
to do righteousness and goodness. And so we ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to make us understand
that the person who commits an injustice is only harming their own selves, that injustice comes back
to you. A Muslim who commits injustice is harming the rest of the Muslims. A father who commits an
injustice is harming the rest of his family. So kind of how will the his parents live for the rest
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:16
			of their lives? How will this child live? How will his wife live? Allah Subhana Allah knows best.
And we ask a lot to help us and save us from these hardships that people face and go through in
life.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			I mean, we skipped a verse number 62,
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:28
			verse number 62 of surah Yunus, Allah subhanho wa Taala, in verse number 6263, and 64. He says,
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			In de
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:35
			la isla
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:37
			de him,
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:51
			unquestionably, for the allies of a law, there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve
the loss of power to Allah shows us here.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:59
			He tells us about who his allies are in these three verses. 6263 64 the Allies
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:43
			Also hanworth Allah Li is the opposite of an enemy, right? Someone who has good or is on good terms
with Allah subhanho wa Taala do we want to be on good terms with Allah subhana wa tada? Yes. So
let's see what Allah Subhana Allah tells us about them. So we can be from those who are allies of
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah in Odia en la la hoefflin it him Allah zone, they don't fear and they
fear only from Allah subhanho wa Taala. And they don't grieve and when they grieve, they grieve
about things that are related to Allah subhanho wa Taala as well. So for example, the person feels
sad because they did something wrong, that they know goes against the likings of Allah subhanho wa
		
00:45:43 --> 00:46:16
			Taala. And so they feel sadness, they grieve over that, or they lose someone who is pious, someone
who is righteous, someone who is a scholar, someone who is connected to Allah, they may not have
even been a scholar, they could have just simply been a simple person, and they lost this person.
And Allah subhana wa tada shows us that those who those who grieve because of a loss of hanway to
Hana, they're the allies to Allah, and they don't grieve over other things. In verse number 63.
Allah now explains he describes the Allies he says alladhina
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:48
			on those who believed and were fearing of Allah subhanho wa Taala had those who believed and were
fearing the punishment of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, not only the punishment, they were scared to
do something that would be displeasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala It's time for Salah they know
Allah will not be pleased with them, if they miss their sauna, they get scared of displeasing Allah.
So they pray their prayers.
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:51
			Then he goes on to say
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:51
			was on an earlier game, for them are good tidings in the world B life and in the Hereafter, no
changes there in the words of a law. That is what is the great attainment as in that he got that he
got one of those lollies that is the greatest success that we can have, which is to become one of
the allies of Allah subhanho wa Taala Hannah, the good tidings will be upon those who simply believe
in Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, and because of their belief, they're scared to displease Allah
subhanho wa Taala in every single aspect. And so they try and they try and they try and even though
they make mistakes, and they fail, sometimes they continue to try to please Allah Subhana Allah to
		
00:47:51 --> 00:48:08
			Allah, even though we fail. And I want to give you a simple example before we move on into Sora, who
would for two minutes in sha Allah to Allah, a friend of mine, very, very good brother, may Allah
Subhana Allah have mercy upon him, his parents, his family, his mother in particular, who just
passed away two days ago.
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:51
			This brother, his name is Alvin. Of course people call him Zim. Right? azim Kidwai. He is a very
good friend of mine. So Pamela, and he lives in in Bradford in the UK. His mother just passed away.
And he I saw the video this morning, he sent me a message just you know, minutes after his mother
passed away because I was communicating with him. And he sent me a message. He says my mother just
returned to Allah subhana wa Tada. And so Subhanallah You know, it was a sad moment. But I saw the
video today of the, of the burial. The burial, he's standing at the graveyard after placing his mom
in the grave, and is he's wearing a white robe and a stove is all dirty, because you know, you went
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:59
			into the grave and you know, put your mother down there and you get dirty. So Pamela, and he's
standing there and it's raining right now just a couple of days ago.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:14
			Actually, the janessa was I think it was yesterday Sunday. Monday was best My time is all messed up
now. And he is saying in the video someone recorded, he's standing there and he's addressing all
those that came to the cemetery to bury his mom.
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:48
			And he's explaining the last few moments of his mother's life. And he was saying that for days, her
condition because of her illness and the way that she was even her tongue. She had ulcers, I think
he was saying ulcers on her tongue. And she couldn't even speak. That's how you know bad to her
condition was it was so severe. And she was in the hospital. And I remember he messaged me a few
days before that saying, you know, my mother is in the hospital and she's on life support and not
like support for the machine, you know, so she can breathe and he says I'm watching every single
breath. Right? She's watching. He's watching every single breath while his mother is struggling to
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:59
			breathe for her life. And so Pamela, you know, he's saying how, when she's there in that state in
that condition, he went and he made sada
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:39
			You know, he prayed to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And in his da he said he made dua, like a DA he
never ever made before in his life. Do I know that, you know, this is a drama, it's a matter of life
and death. And he makes this dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And he's begging a law to allow his
mother to die upon the Shahada. Just let her say the Shahada. Let her say the Shahada let her last
words be la isla in Oman, we know the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Men can, can only
let you know in a lot of different agenda, whoever's last words, Allah, Allah Allah, they will enter
agenda. And so he makes this Doohan he goes back to his mother, and then he sees that his mother
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:39
			Subhana, Allah,
		
00:50:40 --> 00:51:19
			she begins to you know, after some time, he I think he was mentioning a few hours later, she begins
to speak, and she says, La Ilaha Illa. Right. She's saying that, you know, in a lot and four days,
he said she had not spoken for days she couldn't speak. And it was as though her life was just about
to leave. And she says it over and over. And to make a long story short, he says, she ends up saying
the Shahada from that time until the time that she died, he says about maybe 40 to 50 times. Right?
He says 2530 4050 times he goes I don't know she said it so many times. And he said at one point in
time he says his sister was there and he called the other siblings to come come to the hospital. It
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:25
			seems like this is the the last you know few moments of her life because the the sound of her throat
was changing.
