Haitham al-Haddad – Specific & General Ibadat – The Best Ten Days #02

			Bismillah
		

			hamdulillah Hamden, Katie along for even more Bella Kathy was shadow Allah, Allah, Allahu la
sharika, wash, Medina Mohammedan, Abu rasuluh, my dear respected brothers and sisters, in the
previous episode of this show, while we are talking about the virtues of the first 10 days of the
ledger, we spoke about the concept of the bad and we say that that ibadah is divided into two types
or can be seen as two types. First, is the listed about that, or the first thought includes the
listed about that or what we call it as the specific about that. And the second type is the non
listed about that or the general about that. Now, what is the difference between both? The first
		

			type is those activities that were heavily regulated by Sharia, such as what are what are they we
said, Salah, zakka cm and height and some of the liquor of Allah, Allah Allah and some of the other
activities that are similar to these account which is like the sidecar the voluntary sidecar.
		

			And on the other side, we say that the non listed that are the activities, the normal activities
that any of the human beings do, but if they were done for the right motivation, the main thing is
the why, while in the specific event that all the seven questions or the main questions that define
the activity, are heavily regulated, or are specified by Sharia. So, why do we pray, is specified by
Sharia, where do we pray is specified by Sharia, when do we pray is specified by Sharia, how do we
pray is specified by Sharia,
		

			where to pray, is is specified by Sharia, and so on. But for other activities, such as our we eat,
we drink, we go to bed, we work for seven, eight hours, we play we have fun and so on. These
activities are generally speaking, not heavily regulated by Sharia, they are left open for human
beings to to act upon them and maybe to develop them as they need. There are general guidelines,
that's why we call them general activities there, there are general guidelines, very general
guidelines, they are not heavily regulated. And moreover, the key question in order to transfer
those activities to become a bar that is the why, why do we eat? Why do we drink? Why do we sleep?
		

			Why do we go to work? Why do we go and have fun? Why do we
		

			do other activities in our life? Why? The question is, why what is the motivation behind those
activities that we do? If the motivation is pleasing to Allah, Allah, Allah, then those general
activities will become what will become act of a bad and then this leads us to the right
understanding of the principal of a vida wa salam regional insha Allah via Abu Omar O'Meara, il le
de la Hamas, La Cienega who did they were commanded to do one thing which is what? To worship Allah
jell O Allah alone, they were commanded to do one thing only, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said lillah Allahu Allah, Allah said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to sell them
		

			to say, political Buddha, Melissa Houdini fat Buddha to mean do any I was commanded to say that I am
worshiping a law, gentle Allah, law and purely and so on so forth. There are many evidence that
confirm this meaning that we have nothing to do in our life except to what
		

			Worship Allah, Allah Allah. But as we said that we do many other activities other than worshiping
Allah, Allah Allah. We said that if we understand it like this, then this is the wrong understanding
of the concept of the right understanding of the concept of a ladder, is to imagine that we have a
specific API that that were heavily regulated by Sharia. And we have general Ada that those general
Ada that are the general activities that any human being will do, if they are,
		

			if they are governed by the general guidelines of Sharia. And the key thing if the motivation behind
them is the right motivation is to please Allah, Allah Allah, then those general activities will
become what will become act of a bad and hence our life at all of our life as a whole will become
what will become a bad and then what Allah Allah Allah has said while Mahalo to dinner instead Ilia
budan will be what will be established.
		

			Okay, my dear brothers and sisters, I hope that this concept is clear. And and it should be really
crystal clear. Why because some people misunderstood this concept, the concept of a bada and they
thought that they have to spend their time just doing liquor for La Jolla, and spending their time
in the masjid doing nothing other than that, and this is not what Islam wants. On the other side,
some people they just they were spending their time in doing all other activities, but when it comes
to the listed a bar that the specific event that they are not giving them they do right. Okay.
		

			As we said, both went wrong, both misunderstood the right concept of a bad underlying concept of
data is as we said, that the bad that can be seen can be seen of two types, the specific listed a
bidat and the general activities that can be made as a bad that due to the intention or the
motivation behind them.
		

			Now, why are we discussing this, my dear, respected brothers and sisters, while we are discussing
the virtues of the 10 days of the
		

			sea, my dear respected brothers and sisters,
		

			if we take the general activities, as we said, eating, drinking, enjoying your time having found
maybe going for a holiday, or maybe sleeping for five, six hours or whatever, going for work for 789
hours, may be collecting money and if we look at them, and then we say that if they are done for the
right motivation, they become x of A Bada, then we're lucky this is very great. This is really
		

			marvelous. This is really
		

			very virtuous Subhanallah
		

			but the question is, is it easy to transfer six or seven hours of sleep of sleeping to transfer it
to become a better so for the six hours for the whole six hours, the angels are writing for us that
we are doing a better we are doing better and we are just enjoying our time in going to bed? Or is
it easy that we eat and we enjoy our time we have a good meal and we are enjoying it and the angels
are writing it down that we are doing what a bad activities. Or look at this. Maybe I am having fun
with with my family, with my wife with my children. Maybe I took them for a holiday. Yes, I took
them for a holiday. Or you went to Turkey or Morocco or I went for a holiday. Yes. And we are doing
		

			sightseeing or to Spain to underdose and we are enjoying our time. I'm laughing with my wife. I'm
laughing with my children and I am earning good deeds and that is considered to be good deeds. Or I
am working for six, seven hours. It is true that I am being tired in that job but I'm earning money.
Yes. And I am saying that I am also an NG has an ad for 678 hours. Yes, the
		

			can happen, my dear respected brothers and sisters that can happens, in fact that what Allah, Allah
Allah wants from us, as we said, he said, Well my follow up to dinner and inside lately I've been
doing all human beings you have one job which is to worship me, this is what Allah Allah Allah said
this what it means. So, how can we achieve this? Is it easy to transfer six or seven hours of sleep
into a bladder
		

			or not he This is if we can do this, then as we said, This is great. The question is how and how
how?
		

			My dear brothers and sisters to be honest with you, it is not easy, it is not easy. I know that many
speakers today say yes do it for the right reason and it will become a bother for you. But how how
what is the right reason? And do I have control over my heart in order to transfer these activities
that I'm enjoying to make them as a bat? And if we say that if we if we if we say that it is easy,
then everyone will be doing it? Yes everyone will be doing it as easy as this. And many people those
who may be neglect the listed Ada that they will be focusing on the other activities they will go
and having fun with their children they will collect money, they will be sleeping for long hours and
		

			they will say that yes we are doing it for the sake of Allah Allah Allah we are doing it for the
right motivation and they are considered to be acts of a god No my dear respect to the brothers and
sisters. It is not as easy as this.
		

			So how how? Okay, see, the listed Eva dot mighty respected brothers and sisters are the most
important that that?
		

			Yes. And they are the most virtuous about that?
		

			Yes.
		

			We will talk about some of the virtues of the listed about that. But before we move before we go to
the second or the next episode, I'll just mention that or I will
		

			adjust just
		

			put the seed Yeah, in order to move smoothly to the next episode. My dear respected brothers and
sisters, as we said, that these listed about that are the most virtuous activities, the most
important activities of a bad But why? Why Allah Allah Allah made them as such. For two reasons.
First of all, they are his right. Yes. When we say Allahu Akbar, glorifying him when we pray, we are
not benefiting in the dunya we are doing it for the sake of Allah. Allah Allah only when we fast
Yes, there are some side benefits. But the main reason we do it for a la jolla Allah, Allah dynamin
quotevalet camassia coo coo coo ballerina public hula Come on, oh you who believe fasting was
		

			prescribed upon you as it was prescribed upon previous nations. So you mean you may attend taco Hajj
for example, doing had going for Hajj, it is the right of Allah, Allah Allah that's why Allah Jalla
Allah says daddy Coleman your, your wife in min topwell Kuru, those who
		

			glorify the symbols of Allah, Allah Allah, this is a sign that they have Taqwa in their hearts and
so on. So, those are the specific activities are more important than the general activities. Why
because they are those activities that help you to transfer the general activities to become acts of
bad if the specific activities the listed activities are weak. Yes, if they are weak, then for sure,
you will be weak in transferring those general activities to be pleasing for Allah Allah Allah, you
will be weak and transferring them to become act of a bad
		

			that is a very important concept. Please do remember this and inshallah we will clarify this concept
more in the next episode. Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
