00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			the most Merciful In the name of Allah,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			the most Gracious, the most Merciful Peace be
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			upon the Messenger of Allah Peace be upon
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:10
			you Brothers and sisters and friends And we
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			are going to be talking about a very
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			important topic which is about the high intents
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			or the high objectives or the objectives of
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			Islamic law In other words, the philosophy of
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			Islamic law This is something that I'm interested
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			in I don't know much about and that's
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			what we have with us today our beloved
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			Shaykh Haytham Al-Hadad May Allah bless him
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			and preserve him As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Wa alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			Jazakallah khair brother Hamza May Allah reward you
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			Ameen, Ameen you too Shaykh Jazakallah for coming
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
			down So, I remember almost 15 years ago
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			I sat in a session with you concerning
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:53
			the Maqasid The objectives of Islamic law And
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			I found it so fascinating the way you
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			presented it I don't remember much but because
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			I like philosophy and that type of stuff
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			I really found the way you framed it
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			very, it was intellectual but it was profound
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			And this is why I want the audiences
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			to understand this topic So they understand the
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			superiority of Islamic law but also its application
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20
			across time And that it facilitates human flourishing
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			in a Dunya sense, in a worldly sense
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			and an Akhira sense So, let's start with
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			the basics You're teaching me this now, yeah?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			And therefore teaching the audience What is Maqasid?
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			What is this topic?
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Give me an understanding of what this is
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			Start from the basics and we start unpacking
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			the complexity Jazakallah khair Jazakallah khair brother Hamza
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			Of course, we have a limited time So,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			there is an introduction that I might need
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			to not go through it I might need
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			to omit in order to get into the
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			topic in this one hour First of all,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			what do we mean by Maqasid?
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:07
			Maqasid, just simply the higher aims of Islam
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:12
			The higher aims of Sharia, the higher aims
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			of the Islamic law What do we mean
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			by that?
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			We mean or what it means Does Islam
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:29
			intend to achieve something behind the detailed laws
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			that we have?
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:35
			Does Islam want to achieve something behind the
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			detailed laws that we have?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:45
			So, let us talk generally Now, we know
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			that Islam commanded us to worship Allah Islam
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:55
			commanded us to establish Tawheed Islam commanded us
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			to establish the five daily prayers Islam commanded
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			us to do Muamalat in a particular way
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			The social transactions The social transactions and the
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:11
			financial transactions as well Does Islam want us
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			to achieve certain goals behind all of this?
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:21
			This is what it means Now, when we
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:26
			say obviously Islam is not an arbitrary religion
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			It is not an arbitrary way of life
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			Definitely, Islam wants us to do these particular
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:40
			rituals or to follow certain guidelines in terms
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			of financial transactions, social transactions Islam wants us
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:50
			to achieve certain goals Definitely The second question
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:56
			comes Those goals, are they goals limited to
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			this life?
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:03
			Or are they goals limited to the hereafter?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Or are they goals for both?
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:13
			This life and the hereafter And so, this
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:18
			is just the overview Now, how do we
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			know that Islam is really trying logically as
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			we said Islam aims to achieve certain goals
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			Logically, a great religion that managed to build
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:37
			the greatest civilization known to humankind And managed
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:44
			to survive and flourish in different cultures And
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			take over other civilizations So, it has a
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			level of civilization that goes beyond the Roman
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:58
			civilization Goes beyond the Persian civilization Goes beyond
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:02
			any other civilization And even currently now, the
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			civilizations that we are witnessing now We still
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09
			as Muslims who understand Islam We feel that
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:15
			Islam is far superior than those civilizations Maybe
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			we could not prove it physically But intellectually,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			we can prove it and we believe in
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			it So, if Islam, forget about the situation
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:30
			now But Islam managed to flourish And take
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			over different civilizations And be a better replacement
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:40
			for those civilizations So, definitely Islam has certain
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			goals Certain higher aims and objectives to achieve
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			This is logically Now, if someone said, ok,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			but is this mentioned in Quran and Sunnah
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:55
			This is like the simplistic way of approaching
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			such matters And you know, some of our
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:04
			brothers They, out of simplicity They think that,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			oh, unless you show it to me in
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			the Quran directly And you show it to
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			me in the Sunnah directly I'm not going
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			to believe in it Which is a very
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			simplistic approach, to be honest with you And
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			I want our brothers to be more, you
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			know, intellectual Than this simplistic approach Be careful,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			I'm not saying that Asking for a dalil
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			from Quran and Sunnah is a simplistic way
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:35
			No, no, no I am asking that Sometimes
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			the dalil from Quran and Sunnah Is not
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			what we think of That Allah explicitly says
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			that The Shari'ah has aims and objectives
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			Some people think that the dalil is this
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			No, the dalil, yes, is definitely taken from
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			Quran and Sunnah But the way the dalil
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:01
			is understood Needs some intellectual exercise Yes, it's
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			like you're developing an usool almost Or principles
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			It's an aqeedah issue, because Allah is Al
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			-Hakeem Yes, definitely He is the wise, Allah
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			has the totality of knowledge and wisdom He
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			has the picture, we've got the pixel To
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			say now the law has no higher wisdom
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			or divine wisdom Is going against basic creed
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			Excellent, so this is a dalil Yes And
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			some people might say But it's a principle
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			as well That it creates a frame to
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			understand the specifics Absolutely But what I mean
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			is some brothers out of simplicity They say,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			where is this?
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			You told me that Allah is Al-Hakeem
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			But this is not a dalil This is
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			what I'm saying No, it is a dalil
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			Absolutely It is a dalil, don't be just
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			over Don't be shallow in your understanding In
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			your approach Ok, so this is absolutely As
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			you said, it's a matter of aqeedah This
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			is the most important dalil But we have
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:04
			even more closer a dalil Ok And how
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:08
			to extract those adillah or proofs From Qur
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			'an and Sunnah We need to see, to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			survey the Qur'an and Sunnah And to
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			see where Allah mentioned that I have done
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			all of this in order to do something
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:26
			So I have something like I have revealed
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:31
			Sharia and Islamic law to achieve this Something
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			like this I have sent prophets to achieve
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			this So if we find something like this
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			in the Qur'an Then we say, oh
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			yes, it is in the Qur'an These
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:46
			are the higher aims and objectives of Sharia
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:53
			Or the divine intention Yes The divine intention
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:01
			What Allah wanted to tell us Of course,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			quote and count the intention Yes, is it
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			right to say that divine intention But let
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			us use it in a very, what is
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:15
			it, metaphorical way Sure Ok We see in
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			fact, there are so many verses in the
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			Qur'an That talk about what we just
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23
			mentioned One verse that is known for everyone
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			And we always quote it The verse of
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:30
			Surah Al-Dhariyat وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:36
			لِيَعْبُدُونَ I created Jinn and Inns for I
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:40
			want them I created them and this is
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			what I want from them Which is what?
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			عِبَادَة Yes, to worship Allah To worship Allah
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			Jalla wa Ala And then Allah Jalla wa
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			Ala confirmed this مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِزْغِهِ
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			وَمَا أُرِيدُ مِنْ يُطْعِمُونَ I don't want anything
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			that is physical He doesn't need provision And
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:02
			he doesn't need provision He doesn't need ibadah
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			He created us to worship him Of course,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			absolutely Allah is Al-Ghani He is rich,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			he is free, he is Al-Samad Absolutely
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:14
			independent And even if we don't worship him
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			That will not add anything to him That
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			will not take anything from Allah Jalla wa
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			Ala It's good for us Exactly And that
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			is also linked to the maqasid of sharia
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			by the way And it's good in the
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			dunya and the akhira In the akhira, yes
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			So this is one verse Also we see
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			some other verses Allah Jalla wa Ala also
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			Because this is related to creation So some
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			people might say But this is related to
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			the purpose of creation To worship Allah Jalla
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			wa Ala Also, we see another verse of
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			surat Surat Al-Lam Yakinu Al-Ladhina Kafaru
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			Allah Jalla wa Ala says Wa Ma Umiru
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			Illa Li Ya'budu Allaha Mukhlisina Lahu Al
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			-Dina Hanafa Wa Yuqimu Al-Sala They were
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			commanded to worship Allah Jalla wa Ala So
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			Allah Jalla wa Ala here is talking about
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:05
			his commandments The purpose of commandments Not the
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			purpose of creation And all of both are
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			the same So the Qadr Al-Qawni, the
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			Qadr Al-Shari'i are the same So
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			no one can say But that is the
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			purpose of creation Not the purpose of Shari
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			'ah No, the purpose of Shari'ah is
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			the same thing Because Allah Jalla wa Ala
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			says what?
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			They were commanded to worship Allah Jalla wa
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:32
			Ala alone Yes Okay We can in fact
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			The more we investigate The more we see
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38
			similar verses Allah Jalla wa Ala says in
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			Surat Al-Hadeed لقد أرسلنا رسولنا بالبينات وأنزلنا
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:50
			معهم الكتاب والميزان ليقوم الناس بالقسط This is
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55
			really interesting And okay This is really interesting
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			Allah Jalla wa Ala said We have sent
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			prophets So now when we listen to this
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			We need to pay attention So now this
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			is the very part that we are talking
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			about Yes The very matter that we are
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			talking about That Allah Jalla wa Ala is
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			talking about sending what?
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:22
			Prophets, all prophets لقد أرسلنا رسولنا بالبينات وأنزلنا
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			معهم الكتاب والميزان We sent them with proofs
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			And we sent with them the book and
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			the Meezan Okay, interesting Why Allah?
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			To establish justice The Meezan And then Allah
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			Jalla wa Ala says what?
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:40
			ليقوم الناس بالقسط To establish justice To establish
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:45
			justice Oh, Subhanallah And then Allah Jalla wa
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:51
			Ala further said ليقوم الناس بالقسط Yeah وأنزلنا
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:56
			الحديد فيه بأس شديد ومنافع للناس وليعلم الله
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			من ينصره ورسله بالغيب And for Allah wants
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			to see who is fighting for his cause
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			In order to aid the religion of Allah
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			Jalla wa Ala Okay, so this is another
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			purpose That Allah Jalla wa Ala wants to
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			see who are what?
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:19
			Who are sacrificing for Him Okay, interesting So
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			now we added what?
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			So we had Ibadah We had what?
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			Establishing justice In fact, we see establishing justice
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:31
			throughout the Quran Allah Jalla wa Ala says
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُعَدُّ الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			This is a major commandment in Surah An
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			-Nisa Allah commands you to what?
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:44
			To fulfill the trust Yes أَن تُعَدُّ الْأَمَانَاتِ
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:49
			إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُوا
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:53
			بِالْقِسْطِ That you judge between people according to
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:00
			justices We see also another important key verse
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			that even it was attributed that some of
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			the Khulafa said We need to read this
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			verse in the Khutbah of Jum'ah إِنَّ
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:15
			اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			Ibn Mas'ud رضي الله تعالى عنه He
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			was a great Sahabi and he was a
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			scholar He said this is the most comprehensive
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			verse in the Qur'an in terms of
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			halal and haram And many other scholars said
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:37
			something similar Allah جل وعلا says إِنَّ اللَّهَ
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			Allah commands you to establish what?
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:45
			Justice And to go one step above justice
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			Which is what?
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			إحسان Justice You take your right, I take
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			my right إحسان What does it mean?
		
00:14:55 --> 00:15:00
			It's goodness, excellence Aha And in excellence, above
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			justice So above the minimum Justice is the
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06
			minimum For example you go to some Arab
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:10
			marketplaces or in North Africa And you want
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			to buy some dates And what do they
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:12
			do?
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			They throw extra dates just in case Yes
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			So that's a nice example Or they give
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			you more They give you more yes They
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			throw a few more just so it's over
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			the balance So they didn't cheat you Yes
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			They're absolutely sure that they've kept the kind
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:29
			of social justice transaction Even, let us take
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:34
			about more examples In courts Courts are meant
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:39
			to establish justice Not to maintain Ihsan Islam
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			says You took your right I take my
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			right But it's good to what?
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:49
			To forgive Yes of course Forgiveness is part
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			of Ihsan Yes It's a higher virtue It
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			is a higher virtue And mercy is part
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			of Ihsan And this is unique for Islam
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			No other religion by the way No other
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:05
			system has this value Yeah Islam is stressing
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			on this Reminds me of the verse Sheikh
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			And this obviously we know the backstory concerning
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			Abu Bakr But it's one of my favorite
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			verses Forgive and overlook Do you not want
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			Allah to forgive your sins?
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			So forgiving others is connected to Allah forgiving
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			you Exactly yes I remember when someone came
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:29
			up to me And forgiveness And the story
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			that you were referring The story of Abu
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:35
			Bakr And it is his right to stop
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			Spending on the person who insulted Yes His
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			daughter Absolutely He can Anyway it was It
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			was a Sadaqah from him So he is
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			not obliged to Let alone that this person
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			You know Insulted my daughter Or accused her
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			of something Allah said no Abu Bakr You
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:00
			are a higher person Absolutely Yeah Forgive And
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			overlook And overlook Do you not want Allah
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:03
			to forgive your sins?
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			To forgive your sins So Allah is connecting
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			it to His forgiveness Which in a way
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			when you forgive You gain everything Yes So
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:16
			These are These are higher aims and objectives
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			of Sharia So we added now what Al
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:24
			-Adl Justice Establishing justice So we mentioned The
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			Ibadah of Allah Okay Worshipping Allah Worshipping Allah
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:34
			And we mentioned establishing justice Okay We see
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			also some other verses Okay So we see
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			For example That Allah Jalla wa Ala says
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:50
			He created death and life Oh Now this
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			is something big What for ya Allah?
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:56
			To test you So this is To see
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			who is best in conduct Exactly So this
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:02
			is This is This is another aim Okay
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:06
			We see Allah Jalla wa Ala Saying in
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:10
			the Quran In Surah In Surah Al-Ahzab
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:20
			Yes Allah Jalla wa Ala says We have
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			presented the amanah The commandments of Allah Jalla
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			wa Ala On heavens and earth They declined
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:30
			They cannot They could not carry it Human
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			beings They carried that Because they don't know
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:38
			What are the consequences Then what did Allah
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			Jalla wa Ala say?
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:51
			Allah Jalla wa Ala said So
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			Allah Jalla wa Ala wants to punish The
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			hypocrites and the disbelievers And Allah Jalla wa
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			Ala wants to repent Yeah To accept the
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:05
			repentance Of the believers So This is another
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			Higher aim Because Allah Jalla wa Ala said
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			This is what I did I presented the
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			commandments My commandments Which is something major Something
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:21
			You know Fundamental Okay We can But these
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:26
			are Now The The main Verses There are
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:30
			some other Connected verses to them Now this
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			means that We have One aim is to
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			worship Allah Jalla wa Ala Another aim is
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:36
			to what?
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			To establish justice Another aim is to Be
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			tested Allah Jalla wa Ala wants to test
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:47
			us To be forgiven To be forgiven This
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:53
			is connected to Testing Now Are these aims
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			Connected or not?
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			And the reality is that Yes They are
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:02
			connected Yes Worshipping Allah Jalla wa Ala truly
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			Will lead to what?
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			Establishing justice Because Worshipping Allah is not just
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			a private matter Exactly It's individual, social, political
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			Everything Yes So that will lead to establishing
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19
			justice Which means that If you don't worship
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22
			Allah Jalla wa Ala It is very unlikely
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27
			that you will not Establish justice And So
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:29
			if you don't worship Allah properly You won't
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			establish justice Yes If you worship Allah properly
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			Holistically You will establish justice You will establish
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			justice And this is what we see that
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:41
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam The Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			Alaihi Wasallam When he was asked about The
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:48
			greatest sin Yeah And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			Wasallam said Is to what?
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:54
			To associate someone To worship someone Shirk Yes
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			While Allah is the only one who what?
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			Who provided you And Allah Jalla wa Ala
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:06
			called shirk Dhulmun Azeem Inna shirka la dhulmun
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			azeem The greatest oppression The greatest injustice Injustice
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			Yes So which means that Injustice is a
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:18
			holistic term Yeah Which means that Justice is
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
			connected to Ibadah Ibadah, true Ibadah As you
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:27
			said Is connected to justice Justice, holistic justice
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30
			again Yes Holistic justice Not as we understand
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:37
			it Therefore Therefore The Ibadah And establishing justice
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:41
			Yeah They are like Two sides of one
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:45
			coin Subhanallah Yeah It is the same reality
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:51
			Establishing justice truly Yeah Cannot happen Unless you
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:51
			what?
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			Surrender to a super power Yes Allah Jalla
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:00
			wa Ala Because we know Yeah Now we
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			are talking little bit more philosophical We know
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:09
			Ya Sheikh Hamza That Human beings If they
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			don't believe In a super power above them
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:16
			To keep them under all They will commit
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:20
			injustice Yes Yes And by the way This
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			is now even western and philosophical are talking
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			about this You know when they killed George
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			Floyd This discussion came again Which is That
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:35
			You know the power of police Power breeds
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:41
			injustice Power breeds corruption And then the discussion
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			came again How to make sure that power
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:49
			does not lead To corruption and injustice And
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:54
			we have seen now Yes Alhamdulillah Congratulation to
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			our brothers and sisters in Syria Congratulation for
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			the entire Muslim Ummah That we got rid
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:04
			of this dictator Yes Dictators normally will commit
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:04
			what?
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			Injustice because of the arrogance of power Yes
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			We have seen this in front In fact
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:14
			Are you telling me that America doesn't create
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:18
			Doesn't cause injustice They are the cause of
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			the global injustice in the world Yes for
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:27
			sure Yes So power Power breeds injustice And
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:31
			this is you know It can Yes No
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:35
			it is definitely going to Lead to injustice
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:38
			Unless You have a delegate authority from the
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			one who is the source of all power
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			Allah Yes but put it this I like
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:46
			to put it in this way Unless They
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			believe that there is a super power above
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53
			them That will hold them accountable For what
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:57
			they do Absolutely Yes And we had this
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			in our history You have the famous righteous
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			Caliph Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz When he said
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			Oh people put wheat on the top of
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			the mountains So the people don't say we
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			kept the birds hungry Hungry Yes They were
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			worried not only about Serving human beings They
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			were worried about the animals Animals Subhanallah And
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:23
			see You know Thomas Hobbes 1660 something Yeah
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:28
			He in his book the Leviathan Yeah He
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			mentioned something He said if there are two
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:36
			powers Yeah Fighting To What is it Acquire
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			something that cannot be divided Between both of
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			them They will end up what In a
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:47
			state of war Unless there is what There
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			is a power above them To keep them
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			under all And this is what Allah says
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:57
			In the beginning of the revelation In Arabic
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:14
			Human beings will progress If they see what
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18
			Themselves Self sufficient Yeah Now there is a
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:23
			point here I know a bit of tangent
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:28
			But it is a fundamental point Muslims Yeah
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:33
			Are the only People who are qualified To
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:38
			have power Yes And to become a superpower
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:44
			Without committing injustice Yes Because we have a
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			world view That we believe to be true
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			And we could prove it to be true
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			And we hold principle We are not going
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			to make our God in the morning And
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			eat him in the evening You see this
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			with what happened in Gaza So called humanitarian
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:59
			law International law All of a sudden It
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:03
			is nothing now Exactly It is basically Veils
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:07
			to hide The arrogance of the current superpowers
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			But in Islamic tradition We have our non
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:14
			-negotiables We cannot go beyond these red lines
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			Allah said something We have to be just
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			to these people To all people We cannot
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			transgress that Because we are going to be
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			held accountable Yes That is the key point
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			Because you know that You are going to
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:30
			be held accountable And not only held accountable
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			Look at the justice of Allah Allah Jalla
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			wa'ala Yes as it was mentioned in
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			the hadith Allah Jalla wa'ala forgives The
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:43
			sin between you Between us and him But
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:47
			the sins between us And other human beings
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			Allah Jalla wa'ala doesn't forgive them Unless
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:54
			the other human beings forgives That's why the
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			prophet s.a.w. said If there is
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			any injustice between you And your brother in
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:02
			the dunya Try to reconcile now Before what?
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			Before the day of resurrection Where the reconciliation
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:11
			is not taking place Yeah By physical By
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			money By no By hasanat And we know
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			that Ok your hasanat will be given to
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:21
			those Whom you committed injustice to And once
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:24
			you run out of hasanat Their siyat will
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			be put on your shoulders And the person
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			will be thrown in the fire of *
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:33
			Unless he truly repented to Allah Jalla wa
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			'ala Then this is the mercy of Allah
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			Jalla wa'ala Allah Jalla wa'ala will
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			help him To reconcile with the other person
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:43
			So in summary we see that Allah Jalla
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:48
			wa'ala mentioned Among that his intent Yes
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			Which is the higher aims and objectives of
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:56
			his sharia Of his revelation Ok To worship
		
00:27:56 --> 00:28:02
			him To establish justice Now and to test
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			the human beings What is the link between
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			all these three?
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			Yeah In fact as we said It is
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			just like two sides of one coin Yes
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:18
			Establishing justice comes through Submission to Allah Jalla
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:21
			wa'ala alone Submitting to Allah Obeying his
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25
			commands Is an expression of worship Exactly And
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:30
			by the way Establishing justice See just a
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:36
			quick point Can human beings establish justice Without
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:36
			revelation?
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			This is a big question We can discuss
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:42
			it later Yes Yeah which is Which is
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:46
			related to tahseen and taqbeha Yeah the mu'tazila
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			debate etc And I'll give you a summary
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:56
			for that Values can be seen Including justice
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:00
			Can be seen of two circles The core
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:05
			of the values Yeah And the outer circle
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			of the values The core of the values
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			It is the rahma of Allah Jalla wa
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:15
			'ala That human beings were born Created upon
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			fitra So they The natural disposition The natural
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			disposition So they know the core Allah Jalla
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			wa'ala put in them The core values
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:27
			For example the broad category of justice We
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			have an intuitive understanding Of what that means
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			Exactly So for example we see that Any
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:37
			human beings He would see what the Syrian
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			regime Have done to his people That this
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			is injustice Yes No one You don't need
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:46
			revelation for that You don't need revelation for
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			that Any human being would see Any human
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			being He would say that when a big
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53
			man Is killing a small boy That this
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:57
			is injustice You don't need revelation And to
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			say that you need revelation For these kind
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:04
			of intuitive Basic fundamental values Is making a
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			mockery out of revelation Because Allah uses these
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:09
			words In a way that the target audience
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			Would understand Yes So why is Allah using
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			the word justice What is it Yes Because
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			this should be known It's so funny I
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			can't even communicate it Yes When Allah says
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			rahma When he says justice When he says
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:26
			ihsan The target audience Which is obviously The
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:30
			Arabs of the time They understood what that
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:33
			meant Yes Generally speaking In general yes But
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			there are specifics Which revelation informs Exactly So
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39
			the specifics now Which is the outer circle
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			So this person who killed a child What
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			is justice To kill him Life for life
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:50
			Or to imprison him Ok to imprison him
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:54
			for 20 years Is this justice 30 years
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			10 years Because you are punishing the family
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:59
			as well Ok so where is justice Absolutely
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			So the specifics is from revelation So now
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05
			we need what Revelation in order to tell
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:09
			us what The details of this value Of
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			justice But this means there is a role
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			of the intellect Of the intellect here Oh
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:17
			definitely Who said that the intellect is discarded
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			Who said that we should not You know
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21
			Our community They are like when it comes
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:26
			to issues of law Commands, revelation Like ignore
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			the intellect No no no no This is
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:31
			We will have another podcast to talk about
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			The role of intellect No no no Allah
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			jalla wa'ala praised the intellect In the
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			Quran As our Sheikh Jafar Idrees May Allah
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			jalla wa'ala give him good health and
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			long life He said show me in the
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			Quran That Allah jalla wa'ala spoke Or
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47
			condemned the intellect Or spoke negatively about the
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:51
			intellect Impossible No Ok so Now these are
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:56
			These are Higher aims And they are all
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:00
			connected What about testing people Testing people Is
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:03
			embedded in the Ibadah So Allah jalla wa
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			'ala created a human being To test them
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:08
			Whether they are going to worship him Or
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			not Yes and the way you react to
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:14
			the test Is By worshipping Allah jalla wa
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			'ala So this is You pass the test
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			You do it in a way that Allah
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			wants you to To do it To react
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			to the test And by the way Sheikh
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:24
			Shankiti Ya rahimahu Allah He said Wa ma
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			khalaqtul jinna wa'al insa illa li'abduna
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			I created jinn and ins to worship Me
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:31
			He said To test them Whether they are
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:34
			going to worship me or not Ya So
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			this is You know That's why we say
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			the dalil Don't just read it And think
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			that this This is a dalil Don't be
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:44
			over simplistic There is a hidden meaning Ya
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			And you have to understand How to extract
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			The meanings From the Quran And it's very
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			deep because The whole concept of worship The
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			whole concept of Ibadah Abadah Which means subjugation
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			But many of the ulama Ibn Kathir, Ibn
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			Tamim and others They said this is the
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59
			Peak of love And the peak of submission
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			Yes It's love and submission Yes So all
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			of this Is embedded within it Is love
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			as well Loving Allah Ya This is Now
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			we will come to this As a second
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:13
			Ya But let us establish That Ok Now
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:18
			we establish that The higher aims Exactly The
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21
			higher aims And objectives Of Ibadah Is to
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:24
			Definitely worship Allah Jalla wa Ala I like
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26
			to put it like this And worshipping Allah
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			Jalla wa Ala Is a test for us
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			And worshipping Allah Jalla wa Ala Is the
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:36
			only way To establish justice Yes Ok And
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:39
			Part of establishing justice Is to promote anything
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:44
			That is good And to what To Prohibits
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:47
			anything that is bad Yes It is connected
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			to justice Some people See that it is
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			connected to justice Some people say Now we
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55
			need to Mention it as a separate aim
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			What is Ihsan?
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			Ihsan Ihsan Excellence No, this is Maybe a
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:04
			little bit different Ok Why The Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:08
			Alaihi Wasallam said In Hadith Musnad Al-Imam
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:13
			Ahmad I was sent to perfect What?
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			The Akhlaq The Akhlaq So The Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:19
			Alaihi Wasallam said This was my mission To
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			perfect Which means We already understand There is
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			a basic understanding Of what good morals and
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			But I want to Perfect them Yes Which
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			means that Enhance Once of the One of
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			the High aims And objectives Of Islam Is
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:38
			to perfect People's character Excellent Which is So
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:41
			Now we have Ibadah We have establishing justice
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:45
			We have promoting anything That is good And
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:47
			forbidding that is evil But also This is
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:51
			the summary Of the higher aims And objectives
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			of Sharia But isn't also In Surah Al
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			-Baqarah I think verse 30 You have For
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			example When Allah says I'm going to send
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:03
			down A viceroy on earth Isn't that also
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			A Maqsad An objective To take care of
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:10
			earth Okay On every level Environment Politics Spirituality
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			Society Family Let us come to that The
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			viceroy Okay Is it connected Sheikh?
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			It is connected It is connected Let us
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:21
			come to that But Now When you think
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:24
			about it To worship Allah And worshiping Allah
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:27
			Is the only way To establish full justice
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			So Now we want to establish Justice on
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			earth And to promote Anything that is good
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:36
			And to forbid Anything that is evil This
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39
			is all What is needed To what To
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:44
			Do this Khilafa This Imara Of earth Yes
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			Of this The earth Of this earth Of
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			the world Yes What is it?
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			What do we need?
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:56
			Yes To establish justice To promote Whatever Is
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:59
			good And to prohibit What is evil And
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:03
			now Look But justice is also here Connected
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			to Rahma right?
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			Justice Because of the Ihsan element as well
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			As you mentioned The ayah previously So it
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			is not like Because I don't want people
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			to think The English word justice In a
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			kind of secular sense In Islam Is far
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:17
			more comprehensive It is linked to goodness It
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			is linked to mercy That is why we
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			said Yes That is why we said We
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			said Worship Allah Jalala Leads to establishing justice
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:28
			And promoting whatever Is good So Ihsan Rahma
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:32
			Is part of that Yes And prohibits anything
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:35
			That is what Evil Yes And these are
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38
			the qualities Of the Ummah Allah Jalala says
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			Why you are the best nation Ever raised
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:45
			to mankind Because you enjoy What is good
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:49
			And prohibits what is evil And you believe
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:52
			in Allah Jalala Now let us go One
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:54
			step further You know You asked me in
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:00
			the break About the What the scholars mentioned
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:04
			Yes About what are the Maqasid Because we
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			categorize them In certain categories Like preservation of
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:10
			life Yes Preservation of religion Yes Preservation of
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			lineage Good Preservation of the mind Yes And
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			so on and so forth Let us discuss
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			this before I go one step further But
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			this is not static In the Islamic tradition
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:22
			Yes This is one thing Now see Preservation
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:27
			of life Preservation of wealth Preservation of Of
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:33
			mind Intellect Preservation of Honor These They were
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:38
			mentioned By Ghazali Ghazali died 505 And then
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			After Hijrah After Hijrah Yes sorry And then
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:45
			Ibn Taymiyyah These are milestones In the In
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			the discussion Of Maqasid In the development In
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:50
			the development Of Maqasid As a science Yes
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:54
			The Maqasid were there Yes Okay So Ghazali
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:59
			mentioned this Ibn Taymiyyah Mentioned some other Maqasid
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:02
			He mentioned testing As a Maqsid He mentioned
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:07
			Perfection of Akhlaq As a Maqsid Yes That
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:12
			is beautiful Exactly And then No one Shatibi
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:16
			Also spoke about Maqasid Yes Spoke about Maqasid
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			In a In a general sense But he
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:23
			did not say Maqasid Al-Sharia Are as
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:26
			follows He didn't say this Even Ghazali didn't
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:29
			mention this Even Ibn Taymiyyah didn't mention this
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31
			They All what they mentioned is Wa Al
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:35
			-Sharia Taqsid Taqsidu Al-Sharia Tarmi Sharia intends
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:38
			to do this Yes Islamic law Wants to
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:47
			achieve this Yeah Then Until Recently The Al
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:50
			-Lal Al-Fasi One of the One of
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:55
			the One of the Tunisian scholars Along with
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:58
			Al-Tahir Ibn Ashur Yeah They started to
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:04
			talk They This is This is Fort Sorry
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:08
			80 years ago Around 80 years ago They
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:11
			started to speak about what To speak about
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:17
			The Maqasid And they celebrated what Ibn What
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:20
			Al-Ghazali mentioned Which is the five higher
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:23
			aims and objectives Of Sharia And then the
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			world celebrated that Or the scholars celebrated that
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:29
			More and more Which is Preservation of life
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:34
			Yes Sorry Preservation of religion Preservation of life
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:40
			Preservation of intellect Preservation of wealth Preservation of
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:43
			honor And they said Sharia came to Achieve
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:47
			this Preservation of lineage Of lineage Yes Now
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:51
			We say yes Sharia came to Achieve this
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:53
			But you cannot say that these are The
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:57
			higher aims and objectives Of Sharia It's not
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			the only ones It can expand them Yeah
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:01
			It is the only ones but they In
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:06
			fact They are second They are Of the
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:12
			second more Detailed levels After the higher aims
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:15
			And objectives of Sharia That we mentioned Which
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:15
			is what?
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:20
			Which is Ibadah So what you mentioned is
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:24
			In a way The core Yes The very
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:27
			high The very high And the other ones
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:30
			are Expressions of them Yes And there could
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:33
			be more Yes Definitely There are more So
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:36
			the question here is How did they develop
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:40
			The Maqasid Say ok So For example I'm
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:45
			really astonished Why they didn't mention Establishing justice
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:49
			As a Maqsid Although It is very clear
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:52
			in the Quran And by the way From
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:54
			an academic perspective Once I mentioned this in
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:58
			front of Some academics Doctors in Usulul Fiqh
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			And they said There must be a reason
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:06
			Sheikh But you know This Preservation of religion
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			Lead to that I said ok If they
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:11
			lead to that We should mention first What?
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:16
			Establishing justice As the higher aim Not to
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			just to mention What leads to that This
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:22
			is very interesting Especially Establishing justice Is the
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:26
			language that the Quran used More than preservation
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:30
			of religion Preservation of life Preservation of wealth
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:32
			and honor Yeah Mention it as what?
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:36
			As a higher aim of Sharia I'll tell
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			you something else Where is security?
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:45
			Amin Peace Subhanallah Yeah Where is it?
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:50
			In those aims Yeah They say preservation of
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:54
			life Ok So mention first of all That
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:58
			establishing justice Which leads to peace I think
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00
			as well Sheikh I'm just thinking aloud From
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:04
			an analytical perspective They came from an environment
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:08
			When you had Islam As the dominant Ideological
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:13
			force You had relative security And peace And
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:17
			maybe they weren't thinking On a macro level
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:19
			Maybe Because they lived in that system Maybe
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:23
			But you for example So you From an
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:26
			analytical perspective You have in a way The
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:29
			luxury of being Outside of that Well it's
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			not luxury Because we want it back Yeah
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:35
			I'm using that word From an intellectual perspective
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			That you have now the ability To think
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			that way Because we don't have That establishment
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41
			of the Deen Ok I understand that Let
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:44
			us accept it as an excuse Yeah Ok
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46
			But that doesn't mean It's an interesting insight
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:49
			Sure Yes But that doesn't mean That we
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:54
			get stuck with that Yeah Agreed And the
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:57
			interesting thing One brother He was a doctor
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:01
			He said Wallahi Sheikh What you mentioned Is
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:05
			One of the Thinkers mentioned it Mohammed Amara
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:09
			And he sent me A long essay By
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:13
			Sheikh Mohammed Amara The Egyptian thinker And scholar
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:17
			Where he said Why the maqsid of justice
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:21
			Was not mentioned And then he surveyed The
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:23
			Quran and the Sunnah And he said It
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:26
			is a clear maqsid In the Quran and
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:30
			Sunnah Why they didn't celebrate it Yeah Yeah
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			I mean As you previously mentioned It could
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:35
			be the case That the maqsid That we
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			just mentioned Of Al Ghazali May Allah have
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:39
			mercy on him It's implied That if you
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41
			preserve life And Deen Yeah maybe Preserving justice
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			And so on and so forth And by
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:46
			the way Al Ghazali He didn't make those
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:48
			As the higher aims And objectives of Sharia
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			He didn't say And the higher aims And
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:56
			objectives of Sharia Is preservation of Deen Etc.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:57
			etc.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			He didn't make it like this In fact
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:02
			The ilm of maqsid As a separate science
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:08
			Is relatively new Relatively new In fact not
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:11
			relatively It is a new Sure Those who
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:15
			At-Tahir Ibn Ashur And Allal Alfasi As
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:20
			we said They died in 1360s Hijrah Yes
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:23
			Which is almost 80 years ago Yes They
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:26
			celebrated this And then This ilm al maqsid
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:30
			Became a separate Independent science Yes Of course
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:33
			It doesn't mean that It did not exist
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			It did exist But like Asul Ilm asul
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:40
			al faqh Like Language Yes Grammar language It
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:44
			used to exist But as a separate Crystallized
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:48
			Yeah Formulated Science Was not there Sure Ok
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:54
			So Now We understand that Among the higher
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:58
			aims And objectives of Sharia Ibadatullah Ibadatullah Leads
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:02
			to what Establishing justice Leads to what Promoting
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:05
			what is good And prohibiting what is evil
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:11
			Yes Leads to Establishing peace and security And
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:16
			by the way Ok The prophet When he
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:19
			came to Medina What was the first hadith
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:23
			he mentioned I don't know Yeah This is
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:25
			an interesting And let me give this as
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:28
			a gift For our brothers and sisters in
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:31
			Syria Yeah How to And this is This
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:35
			hadith I wrote Different academic papers I presented
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:40
			them In different academic conferences Yeah How to
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:46
			establish the Islamic state Yes Reflection upon one
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:50
			hadith Subhanallah Yeah Reflection on one hadith I
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:54
			submitted different papers And I remember I gave
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:58
			khutbah About this hadith During the time of
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:01
			Just before the time of Mursi And in
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			the beginning of the time of Mursi May
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:05
			Allah Jalla Ala Have rahma on him In
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:10
			Egypt Ameen The prophet When he came to
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:15
			Medina He clarified his manifesto To run Medina
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:19
			To rule Medina Yeah He said So he
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:23
			is addressing what All the people Not believers
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:26
			Because he knows that In Medina there will
		
00:46:26 --> 00:46:29
			be believers And there will be disbelievers There
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			will be The people of the book The
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:34
			Christians And maybe atheists etc The Jews Yeah
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:38
			Jews Sorry Jews I mean Yeah Mainly Jews,
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:42
			Muslims And maybe Christians And of course Yeah
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			We see this in the treaty of Medina
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:47
			Yes What did he say O people Spread
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:53
			peace Subhanallah Spread peace Peace Peace Which means
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:56
			that He knows that The higher aim And
		
00:46:56 --> 00:47:01
			objective Of what Of my mission As a
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:05
			prophet Is to establish peace And just by
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:07
			common sense You are coming to run a
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09
			country What is priority number one For a
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:14
			human beings Peace Peace After salam Then Share
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:19
			food Feed the poor Feed the poor Which
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:24

00:47:24 --> 00:47:32
			Economical security Yes And then Wasilul arham Maintain
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:35
			the ties of kinship Social security Of course
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:37
			I am summarizing it Otherwise the benefits of
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:40
			that Are huge And then the prophet Said
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			You will enter Jannah peacefully This is what
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:46
			I Promise you That you will enter Jannah
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:50
			Let us not be diverted And Now The
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:54
			first dua In the Quran What is the
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			first dua In the Quran After the dua
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:04
			of Guidance Of asking Allah Guidance The first
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:07
			Dua mentioned In the Quran Is the dua
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09
			of Ibrahim Peace be upon him When he
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:12
			wanted To what When he made dua For

00:48:21 --> 00:48:26

00:48:26 --> 00:48:31

00:48:31 --> 00:48:37
			prophet said Peace Peace So Ibrahim Said peace
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:41
			Allah give them peace See Can you see
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:45
			the match Between both Absolutely Yeah This confirms
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:47
			the theory And then what did he say
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:56
			And then Feed them The prophet said Yeah
		
00:48:56 --> 00:49:00
			Very interesting Okay You see the similarities Absolutely
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:10
			Symmetry Exact Which
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:14
			is what Which is the Spiritual Connection With
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:19
			Allah So As Muslims How to establish A
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:23
			country And I'm I'm telling Also the I
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:26
			sent to Or I wrote an article Meant
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:30
			to be For Taliban When they took over
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:33
			Yes And same thing This can be applied
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:40
			To Syria Priority number one Is what Peace
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:44
			Yeah There is no dawah There is no
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:46
			peace So sheikh That means Muslims are people
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:49
			of peace People of salam We will come
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:51
			to that Maybe we'll have We'll have a
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:54
			long Session about it Okay Peace in the
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:58
			country Absolutely There will be If you go
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			to And then the second one Is peace
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:04
			in terms of economy Security in terms of
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:09
			economy Economic stability Economic Stability or Security If
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:13
			you go to A homeless person And you
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:15
			start Giving him Giving him dawah Will he
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:18
			listen He will say man Feed me first
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:21
			I'm hungry And then talk to me about
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:25
			Islam Yes or no If people are killing
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:28
			each other Will there be any Room for
		
00:50:28 --> 00:50:33
			dawah If there is Civic Outrest Yeah Outrest
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:37
			or Chaos Yes Yeah And that's why the
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam In the Bakkan
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:44
			period There was no jihad Because jihad Then
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:47
			it will be Civic war Civil war Yeah
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50
			Civil war There will be no dawah Peace
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:54
			Is mandatory Is one of the highest Aims
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:58
			and objectives Of sharia Establishing justice Promoting what
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:01
			is good Prohibiting what is evil Is what
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:05
			These are the higher Aims or And objectives
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:09
			of sharia That lead to Establishing what Security
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:14
			And peace Okay So these are The top
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:17
			High aims And objectives of sharia So the
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:20
			question now is How do we use these
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:22
			In the modern world And how do we
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:24
			do it in a way That we navigate
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:29
			The specifics Okay So We don't want To
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:32
			Go too fast With our minds And think
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:34
			Okay well you know Islam says Promote peace
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:37
			Security But then to take it to the
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:41
			degree Where it now Undermines the specific Rulings
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:45
			of Islam Okay Or If there happens to
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:48
			be a Particular friction Between a particular ruling
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:51
			And what we perceive To be the higher
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:56
			objective How do we navigate Can I just
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:58
			before Answering this question Because this is a
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:01
			very Valid question This is the Crocs of
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:06
			the matter As they say Yeah Let me
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:09
			just When I talk about Ibadah Let me
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:12
			just mention Something that is I mentioned it
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:15
			Sometimes And many people said You know Sheikh
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:21
			Wallahi This Really have a Transformational Effect on
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:26
			our life When we say Ibadah The essence
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:32
			of Ibadah Is the glorification Of Allah The
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:36
			essence of Ibadah Is what The glorification Of
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:40
			Allah What does that mean That you glorify
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			Allah Allah is the biggest Allah is the
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:46
			highest Allah is the greatest You No one
		
00:52:46 --> 00:52:49
			will worship Allah Unless he believes That he
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:54
			is The greatest The biggest The most magnificent
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:59
			Yeah And After that comes The love of
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:02
			Allah And then the fear of Allah But
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			one would argue As well Sheikh That You
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:07
			know If worship is like The peak The
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:10
			summit The height of submission And the height
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:13
			of love Glorifying Allah Is a natural expression
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:16
			Of that If I If I love something
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:19
			the most If I Submit myself To something
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:22
			the most Naturally I am glorifying That entity
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:25
			Yeah Let us not get into This discussion
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:28
			This before this Or that before this But
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:32
			Just one question How Do you submit To
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:35
			someone What motivates you To submit to someone
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:38
			What motivates you To love someone The most
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:41
			By virtue of who That being is Yes
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:44
			Yes So unless you believe That attributes He
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:47
			is the highest He is Unless you believe
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:49
			That he is the greatest Of course Well
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:53
			that You can never submit To Someone who
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:55
			is not The greatest Yes So it is
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:58
			not really Submission Yes So that is why
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:01
			we say The essence of Ibadah Is what
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:03
			Yeah of course And you cannot love It
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:06
			is glorifying Allah And you cannot Love someone
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:08
			Who is not the greatest In your life
		
00:54:08 --> 00:54:11
			Absolutely Or the one who is The most
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:15
			loving Or the Lovingly Merciful He is Al
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17
			-Rahman He is Al-Wudud He is Al
		
00:54:17 --> 00:54:20
			-Bar He is the greatest benefactor Yes So
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:23
			that is why Agreed Good point Yeah So
		
00:54:23 --> 00:54:25
			it is We worship Allah We love Allah
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:28
			We glorify Allah By virtue of who he
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:30
			is Of who he is Absolutely And that
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:31
			is why If you want to worship Allah
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:33
			more You learn his names And attributes And
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:36
			that is why Brothers Please Brothers and sisters
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:40
			I say Please Whenever you do Any act
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43
			of Ibadah Don't do it As what A
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:49
			tick box I prayed Dhuhr Tick Prayed This
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:53
			Might You know It will Inshallah Remove the
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:56
			obligation Sure But the best Ibadah Is when
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59
			you what You worship him Because you want
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:04
			to Glorify him Absolutely Yeah Allahu Akbar Yes
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:08
			When you read Quran You read Because you
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:12
			want to Glorify him And brothers Please Do
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:14
			put that In your mind That you want
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:19
			to Glorify Allah Wallahi That will motivate you
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:24
			To pray Yeah More That will glorify That
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:26
			will Encourage you To do more Tasbih Of
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:30
			Allah That will motivate you To enjoy Anything
		
00:55:30 --> 00:55:33
			that comes From Allah Because you want to
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:36
			Glorify him More So sheikh That was a
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:38
			very Insightful point And I've used that actually
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:40
			Because you taught me this Many years ago
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:42
			You know there's this Whole discussion of Should
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:45
			we recite the Quran Even if we don't
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:47
			know The meaning I know there's A big
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:49
			debate Yes of course You have to The
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			whole point of the Quran The objective of
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			the Quran Is for guidance Yes But you
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:55
			framed it Very easy We have to be
		
00:55:55 --> 00:55:59
			careful One of the objectives Of the Quran
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:01
			Because it's a shifa It's a healing And
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:03
			so on and so forth But One thing
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:07
			that you said Was amazing Recite the Quran
		
00:56:07 --> 00:56:10
			With the intention To glorify Allah Yes Yes
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:14
			That changes everything It changes the debate Right
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:17
			Wallahi Although I do really believe That you
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:18
			need to do Tadabbur of the Quran Ponder
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:20
			over the Quran You know when Allah says
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:22
			Do they not ponder Over the Quran Or
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:24
			their locks on their hearts Meaning the more
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:26
			you ponder The more your heart Will be
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:28
			open to Allah's Mercy and guidance So in
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:29
			my view And you can correct me on
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:31
			this One of the highest goals Of the
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:33
			Quran is for guidance Right It's not just
		
00:56:33 --> 00:56:37
			to recite Definitely But If you don't know
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:39
			the Arabic Or you don't access the meaning
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:41
			Reciting it If you have the intention To
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:44
			glorify Allah Is rewardable Of course Without a
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:47
			shadow of a doubt Yeah But you changed
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:48
			that for me Because there is a debate
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:51
			Even amongst the I know I know Why?
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:56
			Because we We evaluate Everything In a very
		
00:56:56 --> 00:57:02
			Mathematical way We evaluate everything According to Coming
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:05
			from an engineer Yes That's why I You
		
00:57:05 --> 00:57:08
			have You've progressed Into the liberal arts And
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:11
			the humanities No That's why I said I
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13
			agree I don't agree with engineering It's too
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:16
			binary Exactly I don't like it Exactly Too
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:18
			binary Black and white I have this Sorry
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:19
			This might be a bit personal But I
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:22
			have this view That I wouldn't really Go
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:25
			to a sheikh If His background Is very
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:28
			binary Yes Because you're dealing With social nuances
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:30
			Yes Exactly I don't know if I trust
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:32
			Your ability to apply The Quran and Sunnah
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:34
			In this context Yes Because you don't know
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:36
			How to ask the right questions Absolutely What's
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:39
			the context What was the intention What was
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:41
			the social variables These are deep questions In
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:43
			fact Most of the sharia Is not binary
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:46
			Yeah yeah sure Most of the sharia Is
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:48
			not binary Brother That's another podcast Yeah Inshallah
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:51
			Yeah Now we have many Just Recall them
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:56
			So yeah The list Okay so Now So
		
00:57:56 --> 00:57:57
			going back to the main question How do
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:00
			we now apply The maqasid But I want
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:04
			the brothers And sisters Just to summarize Please
		
00:58:04 --> 00:58:07
			brothers and sisters Think of the glorification Of
		
00:58:07 --> 00:58:09
			Allah Jalla A'la In all of your
		
00:58:09 --> 00:58:12
			act Wallahi brothers and sisters You will love
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:16
			Allah You will enjoy You will enjoy Just
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:19
			talking to Allah You will enjoy Believing in
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:22
			Allah You will enjoy yourself Because you feel
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:25
			that Allah is the closest to you Yeah
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:29
			You will enjoy making istighfar Wallahi brothers and
		
00:58:29 --> 00:58:31
			sisters I swear by Allah That when you
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:34
			commit a sin You will make istighfar Out
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:38
			of embarrassment Before out of fear That Allah
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:40
			Jalla A'la Is going to punish you
		
00:58:41 --> 00:58:47
			Yes It is Wallahi It transforms you You
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:49
			will live in the paradise of the dunya
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:53
			When you glorify Allah Jalla A'la like
		
00:58:53 --> 00:58:56
			this You will have an intimate relationship With
		
00:58:56 --> 00:59:00
			Allah And you will have a romantic relationship
		
00:59:00 --> 00:59:04
			With Allah And you know Now when Unfortunately
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:06
			when When we talk about this They say
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:07
			Oh this is a Sufi approach Call it
		
00:59:07 --> 00:59:09
			whatever you call it But this is the
		
00:59:09 --> 00:59:12
			reality وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَتَّخَنُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:17
			أَنْدَادًا يُحِبُّونَهُمْ قَحُبِّ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشِدُّ حُبًّا
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:22
			لِلَّهِ They love Allah More than anyone See
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:24
			not more than they love anything else No
		
00:59:25 --> 00:59:29
			Way beyond that More than anything loves anything
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:33
			else Subhanallah Even Ibn Tamir said that You
		
00:59:33 --> 00:59:35
			taste the paradise of the dunya Which is
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:37
			the dhikr of Allah Yes But when you
		
00:59:37 --> 00:59:38
			do it what?
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:42
			Not to tick the box Of course sometimes
		
00:59:42 --> 00:59:44
			we are tired etc Do it But always
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:45
			what?
		
00:59:45 --> 00:59:47
			Try to encourage yourself to what?
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:50
			To do it out of glorification Out of
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:53
			love I'm driving Say in the evening The
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:56
			athkar you say One of them is سُبْحَانَ
		
00:59:56 --> 00:59:59
			اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ أَحَنُّ تَيْمًا Sometimes your mind goes
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:02
			elsewhere Sometimes you're tired But even if you're
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:03
			doing it mechanically What has helped me is
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:06
			what you've said I'm The very fact I'm
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:08
			doing it Is because I'm glorifying Allah Exactly
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:11
			Yes So if your mind drifts or it's
		
01:00:11 --> 01:00:13
			mechanical Don't let shaytan think Oh you're not
		
01:00:13 --> 01:00:15
			doing it properly Don't let shaytan make you
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:15
			think that Right?
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:18
			Absolutely This is a great thing It changes
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:21
			everything Yeah yeah yeah Emotional And subhanallah It
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:24
			makes you more encouraged to do ibadah And
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:27
			the ibadah is easier for you Yeah You
		
01:00:27 --> 01:00:32
			understand the real intent behind it Okay Now
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:33
			let us come to your point Because we
		
01:00:33 --> 01:00:35
			are coming to the end of this session
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			Although this really is a discussion We need
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:40
			a pause to be honest Yeah Now Let
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:45
			me mention something Minor but it is major
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:50
			The high aim and objective of shariah Ibadah
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:52
			to Allah that leads to established justice Anything
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:56
			that goes against injustice That is not from
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:59
			shariah So anything that goes against justice is
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01
			not from shariah Anything that goes against justice
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:05
			Yes Is not from shariah Okay Simple So
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:09
			if you apply any islamic ruling And that
		
01:01:09 --> 01:01:13
			leads to As you said It is It
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:16
			goes against a higher aim and objective of
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:22
			shariah Then stop Stop There is something wrong
		
01:01:22 --> 01:01:26
			in your application of that Subhanallah Yeah That's
		
01:01:26 --> 01:01:29
			why This is needed even for our brothers
		
01:01:29 --> 01:01:32
			and sisters in Syria To understand How to
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:38
			implement now Islam Yeah The context is different
		
01:01:38 --> 01:01:40
			There are minorities There are women who are
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:44
			asking for their rights They have They have
		
01:01:45 --> 01:01:48
			The Zionist next to them They have They
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:52
			have these challenges They have So if they
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:55
			think In a micro way This is another
		
01:01:55 --> 01:01:58
			discussion If they think in a micro way
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:01
			They cannot run the country They need to
		
01:02:01 --> 01:02:02
			start thinking what?
		
01:02:02 --> 01:02:05
			In a macro way And they need to
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:09
			think of these higher aims and objectives of
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:12
			shariah Like this So priority number one Yes
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:18
			Establishing justice But A detractor An objector might
		
01:02:18 --> 01:02:21
			say You know Someone listening or watching But
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:24
			you can't do that By going against the
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:28
			particulars Yes And you If you go against
		
01:02:28 --> 01:02:32
			particulars That means that you understand those particulars
		
01:02:32 --> 01:02:36
			Wrongly Or you are applying them wrongly Okay
		
01:02:36 --> 01:02:39
			Yeah Because maybe they haven't understood the context
		
01:02:39 --> 01:02:42
			Yes Because there's law and applied law Applied
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:44
			law Yes That's why Umar ibn al-Khattab
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:50
			stopped certain punishments During the famine Yes Because
		
01:02:50 --> 01:02:53
			if he applies it Which is from shariah
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:56
			Yes It will go against what?
		
01:02:57 --> 01:03:00
			Justice Justice It will not be just to
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:03
			them But to be clear That's not That's
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:06
			not going against the law It's applying the
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:08
			law in the correct way Yes Because if
		
01:03:08 --> 01:03:10
			there's a famine It's going to encourage people
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:12
			to steal out of necessity Yes And if
		
01:03:12 --> 01:03:13
			you're going to now cut the hand of
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:16
			the thief Because they were starving Yes That's
		
01:03:16 --> 01:03:18
			not justice That is not justice Yes For
		
01:03:18 --> 01:03:21
			sure See And that's why That's why when
		
01:03:21 --> 01:03:24
			we say Brothers and sisters Have those aims
		
01:03:24 --> 01:03:28
			Teach them to younger children Younger children You
		
01:03:28 --> 01:03:31
			know When I give khutbas So many people
		
01:03:31 --> 01:03:33
			come to me And they say Oh sheikh
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:35
			You know when we were young We were
		
01:03:35 --> 01:03:41
			hitting And shoplifting And yeah Young people They
		
01:03:41 --> 01:03:44
			think that And then now We knew that
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:48
			Oh We committed injustice And Allah will not
		
01:03:48 --> 01:03:51
			forgive it Yes So what to do?
		
01:03:52 --> 01:03:56
			And listen When you teach the ummah Yeah
		
01:03:56 --> 01:03:59
			That your ibadah is connected to establishing justice
		
01:03:59 --> 01:04:02
			They will not lower their heads For an
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:08
			unjust ruler Subhanallah Yeah Because they know That
		
01:04:08 --> 01:04:13
			we cannot survive Islam cannot survive Fully With
		
01:04:13 --> 01:04:15
			this level of injustice And this is what
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:20
			happened In In In Syria Yeah And that's
		
01:04:20 --> 01:04:24
			why Allah jalla wa ala This Confirms That
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:28
			justice is one of the Highest aims Of
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:30
			shariah Is the highest aim of shariah Which
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:33
			is the second face of Or the other
		
01:04:33 --> 01:04:35
			face of ibadah Allah jalla wa ala says
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:39
			Ya ayyuhalladheena amanu Koonu qawwameena lillahi shuhadaa bilqist
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:42
			Ya ayyuhalladheena amanu In the other verse Ya
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:46
			ayyuhalladheena amanu Koonu qawwameena bilqist shuhadaa lillahi All
		
01:04:46 --> 01:04:49
			you who believe Establish justice Stand for justice
		
01:04:49 --> 01:05:20
			Yes To
		
01:05:20 --> 01:05:21
			achieve what?
		
01:05:21 --> 01:05:27
			Higher goals Higher goals Yeah You need to
		
01:05:27 --> 01:05:29
			overlook Certain My wife does that with me
		
01:05:29 --> 01:05:34
			all the time Yeah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah But this
		
01:05:34 --> 01:05:36
			is something that we need to what?
		
01:05:36 --> 01:05:40
			We need to promote To promote among people
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:45
			That let us think Okay From Let us
		
01:05:45 --> 01:05:47
			think of shariah from a holistic way And
		
01:05:47 --> 01:05:50
			by the way This is the only way
		
01:05:50 --> 01:05:54
			we can Use these guidelines in order to
		
01:05:54 --> 01:05:59
			Build or to rebuild ourselves as a civilization
		
01:05:59 --> 01:06:01
			But this is hikmah Yes this is hikmah
		
01:06:01 --> 01:06:04
			If we think micro We will not be
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:07
			able to build countries Let alone build civilizations
		
01:06:07 --> 01:06:10
			If we think micro We need to think
		
01:06:10 --> 01:06:13
			macro In order to build what?
		
01:06:13 --> 01:06:18
			Civilizations In order to compete With other civilizations
		
01:06:18 --> 01:06:19
			that what?
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:22
			That do exist now And then we show
		
01:06:22 --> 01:06:26
			them Yes We show them The justice of
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:28
			Islam Yeah This is known in our history
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:31
			For example You know we were talking about
		
01:06:31 --> 01:06:35
			a Syrian context When Heraclius was Governing Syria
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:38
			He was Really bad to the different Christian
		
01:06:38 --> 01:06:40
			minorities In actual fact many of them saw
		
01:06:40 --> 01:06:42
			him as a heretic He was very oppressive
		
01:06:42 --> 01:06:46
			And they actually preferred Muslim rule over Heraclius
		
01:06:46 --> 01:06:49
			Of course And because justice lived under Islam
		
01:06:49 --> 01:06:52
			And You know we even have for example
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:54
			The situation in Gaza The only time where
		
01:06:54 --> 01:06:57
			Muslims, Jews and Christians lived peacefully The only
		
01:06:57 --> 01:07:01
			time Was under Islam Karen Armstrong The popular
		
01:07:01 --> 01:07:04
			historian says this The Muslims created a system
		
01:07:04 --> 01:07:06
			of governance That for the first time And
		
01:07:06 --> 01:07:08
			now the only time That Muslims, Jews and
		
01:07:08 --> 01:07:13
			Christians lived peacefully When the inquisition took place
		
01:07:13 --> 01:07:15
			The Jews Where did they flee to?
		
01:07:16 --> 01:07:19
			Ottomans Ottomans Ottoman Empire There's a really good
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:22
			book By Philip Mansuk of Constantinople He cites
		
01:07:22 --> 01:07:24
			a primary source from a Rabbi A Rabbi
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:28
			He says All my brethren My brothers Come
		
01:07:28 --> 01:07:30
			to the land of the Turks Rich are
		
01:07:30 --> 01:07:31
			the fruits of the earth We live in
		
01:07:31 --> 01:07:34
			peace and freedom And we're not Hindered or
		
01:07:34 --> 01:07:36
			oppressed by heavy taxes Or something like this
		
01:07:36 --> 01:07:39
			There are many There are many Jewish historians
		
01:07:39 --> 01:07:41
			Who have mentioned this I used to quote
		
01:07:41 --> 01:07:44
			One book in my PhD Sheikh, there's a
		
01:07:44 --> 01:07:47
			Jewish historian Called Zain Zohar He wrote about
		
01:07:47 --> 01:07:51
			the Iberian Peninsula And when Muslims took over
		
01:07:51 --> 01:07:55
			The Iberian Peninsula He says That the Jews
		
01:07:55 --> 01:07:59
			Saw the Muslims As liberators from Christian persecution
		
01:07:59 --> 01:08:02
			You even have a book called A World
		
01:08:02 --> 01:08:04
			Within It's two volumes, Sheikh You'll love it
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:07
			Because it's to do with Ottoman law It's
		
01:08:07 --> 01:08:10
			written by Amnon Cohen He collects around Yes,
		
01:08:10 --> 01:08:11
			I think that is the one One thousand
		
01:08:11 --> 01:08:16
			records, Sheikh One thousand Ottoman records And he
		
01:08:16 --> 01:08:20
			says Although the Jews Had the freedom Right?
		
01:08:20 --> 01:08:22
			To go to the rabbinical courts The Rabbis,
		
01:08:23 --> 01:08:27
			the rabbinical courts A substantial majority Went to
		
01:08:27 --> 01:08:29
			the Islamic judge And he goes to the
		
01:08:29 --> 01:08:32
			Manushay He even sees that Jewish women were
		
01:08:32 --> 01:08:35
			Complaining about nafaka Maintenance, yes From their husbands
		
01:08:35 --> 01:08:38
			So even You know, we have a rich
		
01:08:38 --> 01:08:40
			tradition, Sheikh And just finally Yes, of course
		
01:08:40 --> 01:08:47
			Now, subhanallah Recently, just today Today Someone collected
		
01:08:47 --> 01:08:53
