They stress the practical problem of reducing one's values and causing problems, and caution against underestimating the value of Islam. The importance of belief in everything, not just the good and evil, and the desire to see what people have done in their life is emphasized. The speakers stress the need to practice Islam and not be afraid of others, and emphasize the importance of not acknowledging people's differences and holding fast to Islam until they see one of the speakers.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			The slave will not exit from Iman except
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			for by denying the thing that made him
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			enter it. You know how when a person
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			becomes a Muslim, you know, they're like, oh,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			I believe in one god. I believe that
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam is the is
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. I believe
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			in the Quran being true, and it's like
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			a very basic set of things. Right? A
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			person won't leave iman except for by denying
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			those things that
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			let them enter into it. Right? Those things
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			are the whatever.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			By disbelieving in it,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			actively saying someone's like, well, I have a
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			question about this. I have this.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			You know, it doesn't mean you have doubts
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			in your iman. You just wanna know more.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			It's not what we're talking about.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			By firmly resolving that you don't believe in
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			it just like a person enters iman, by
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			firmly resolving to believe in those things.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			Well,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			And iman is to
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			admit to something,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			admit to the truth on the tongue and
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			to
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			believe in that truth inside of the the
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:23
			heart.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			And to believe that and and to believe
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			that everything that Allah has sent down in
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			the Quran and that everything that is
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			narrated,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			through authentic means from the messenger of Allah,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			in in in terms of the sacred law
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			as well as,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			the explanation of the deen that all of
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			it is haqq.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			All of it is haqq.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			This is another issue. Right? This is another
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			issue. People you have these people who are
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			like,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			oh, brother. I, you know, I don't believe
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			in hadith. I just read Quran.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			This
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			is kufr,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			Someone who says, just read the Quran. I
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			don't believe in the hadith. This is what?
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:25
			Kufr.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			Allah is the one who said in his
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			Quran if you actually believed in it.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			The one who says just to believe in
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			the Quran and not in the hadith, that
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			person doesn't believe in the Quran either. Why?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			Allah in his own book
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			The prophet
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			doesn't speak from his vain desire.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			Everything he says is not except for a
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			a revelation which is revealed to him. And
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			the Nabi
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			he also said,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			alright,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			Nay, indeed, verily, I was given this Quran
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			and something like it with it.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			So we say that the sunnah of the
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			prophet
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			is a revelation, and the Quran is a
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			revelation.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			The Quran is a revelation which is preserved
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			in its meaning and in its wording. Whereas
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			the sunnah of the prophet
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			is preserved in its meaning, not in its
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			wording. So you may see 2, 3 different
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			narrations of a hadith that have, like, the
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			wordings are a little bit different, but they're
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			not, like, qualitatively different. Like, one says, it's
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			pork is haram, and the other says you
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			should eat pork every day. There's nothing like
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			that.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			Right? There's just little wording up and down,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			and they don't they don't change the meaning.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			They don't change the meaning of the of
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			the hadith.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			The sunnah of the prophet
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			is a revelation that we believe in.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			The Quran occupies a primal position because Allah
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			he chose those things that are in the
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			Quran
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			to be what he wants us to focus
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			on from the deen of Islam.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			Because everything in Islam is important,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			but not everything in Islam is equal in
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:13
			its importance.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			What's more important to know that there's one
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			god or to know how to divide the
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			inheritance of a dead person properly?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			To know that there's one are you saying
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			that the inheritance is not important? No.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			What we're saying is everything from the dean
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:28
			is important.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			Everything from the dean is important.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			But not everything is equal and important. Some
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			things are more important than others.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			So the Quran is the part of the
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			sat down in the which
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			is preserved word for word and that wanted
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			us to give primal importance.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			It doesn't mean the rest of it isn't
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			important. All of it is. If a person
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			is to disrespect the sunnah of the Messenger
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54
			of Allah
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			or say I only follow the Quran. I
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			don't follow the hadith.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			This is highly problematic. And I suspect
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			a majority,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			if not all of us, have some
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			knucklehead relative that says silly things like this
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			from time to time.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			Okay? A lot of people say a lot
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			of things in ignorance.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			Practically, how to deal with those people, sometimes
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			you'll wanna educate them. Sometimes talking about it
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			with them will just make it worse, so
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			ignore them.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			Practically, you deal with them in whatever way
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			possible, but at least for the purposes of
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			what we're gonna, you know, go over today
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			here in this gathering,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			for us ourselves, we have to understand this
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			is not right. It's very wrong. It's extremely
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			wrong.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			And, unfortunately, sometimes people like this are allowed
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			to give jamaqutba and things like that. So
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			many problems. So many problems. If a person
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			knows it's kufr and they still pray behind
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			the guy, then their own iman is in
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			question. And, you know, if they don't know,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			then they say, oh my god. Like, I
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			prayed behind one of these types of cats,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			like, you know, like, Jumah for, like, a
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			year. Now I have to make up my
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			whatever my,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			prayers behind them and things like that. Those
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			types of issues you can go then go
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			to your local muftis and ask them what
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:07
			they are.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:09
			Give them,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			give them reward. They're geniuses and they're wonderful.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			They give you the most wonderful of answers
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:15
			sometimes.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			The most learned of allama, they give you
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			the most wonderful of answers sometimes.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			Gaddafi, someone asked him,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			we were in a we were in a
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			place where,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			someone feigned a conversion to Islam,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			and we prayed behind them for 20 years.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			And afterward,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			he came back, says I I was a
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			I was a he came back with a
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			with a
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			the army of a Christian country
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			and said, I was Christian the whole time.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			I was just a spy.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			And he was a student of knowledge with
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			us. So he says, you should he gave
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			us the he said you should make the
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			make you have to make all your prayers
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			up now because I wasn't a Muslim from
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:53
			day 1.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			So what should we do, Mufti Saab? So
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			Gaddafi says, don't worry about this.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			Okay?
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			Said Islam with regards to Islam, we judge
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			based on the on the outward hookah.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			And while he was leading you in prayer,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			he was a Muslim.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			And later on, when he apostated,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			he told you he wasn't a Muslim,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			and the testimony of a Kafir is not
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			admissible in court.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			It's just that you don't have to make
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:21
			your prayers up.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			Up. Oh, come on. He was a Muslim
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			and later on he became an apostate and
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			lied about him being Muslim in the past.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			You don't have to listen to him. Right?
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			So at any rate, these things you can
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			work out with other people. That's fine. But
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			for you yourself, like, book 1, right, there
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			this this is like book 1 and like
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			a 7 book syllabus, like, the last book
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			you'll read is like 10 volumes long.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			Book 1, just the beginning of this path
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			of, like, reading Aqida. All you have to
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			know, this is really bad. I can't entertain
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			this type of this type of belief. And
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			if, like, someone is saying these types of
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			things, you know, this is this is an
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			issue that's, like, worse than,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			you know it's it's a bigger problem than
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			than, you know, whether the guy's beard or
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			not or whatever. You know what I mean?
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			Or whether she she wears hijab or not.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			Right? This this is, like, this is a
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			really big issue.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			This kind of, like,
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			reductionist thinking,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			this is, one of
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			the one of the, kind of
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			sarcastic gifts of modernism to the ummah, but
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			that's kind of not not something that we
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			have time to talk about right now.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			Well,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			Okay. So here's remember I said that everything
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			in the book is agreed upon except for
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			a couple of points? Here's a point where
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			there's a little bit of difference of opinion.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			Now
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			the Jamhur
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			of the ulama, they consider iman to be
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:51
			something
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			that starts by a person accepting the truth
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			of the deen,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:56
			saying
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			accepting the Quran, accepting the, you know, these
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			kind of basic things of deen. And then
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			your iman grows
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:06
			or
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			shrinks based on your deeds after that.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			Your iman grows or shrinks based on your
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			deeds after that. So the more good deeds
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			you do, the more strong your iman becomes.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			And if you sin, it weakens your iman.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			Your iman,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			you know, decreases.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			So there's a problem with this formulation,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			not a philosophical problem, but a very practical
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:31
			problem.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			The practical problem is that now you have
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			this group of that are saying that a
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			sin,
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			makes you a. So they're like, see, even
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			your even even your
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			are saying that
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			a decrease sorry. Doing sins decreases your iman.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			All we're saying is that it that certain
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			sins are big enough that they decrease your
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			iman to to 0
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			And they take a person out of deen.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			So, Imam Abu Hanifa or
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			during his lifetime, the Khawarij actually took over
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			Kufa. They came to assassinate him. There's a
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			whole story of, like, how he very cleverly,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			you know, got out of being assassinated by
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			them. He held them off for 3 days
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			just by by by saying things to them
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			that confounded them. And then on the 3rd
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			day, someone said that their their commander said
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			don't talk to him, just kill him. And
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			so, Imam al Hanifa went for several years
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			to Makkah Mukarama.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			He lived in Makkah Mukarama in his Maqam
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			in in in the haram shari for those
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			of you who are going to visit. It's
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			across from the from the mizab, from the
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			spout, you know, the semicircular,
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			the the Hijra smile and the the,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			the Hijra smile and the
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			the the the semicircular
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			wall,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			that's around it,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			and the water spout. So if you go
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			across from there, at some distance, that's where
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			Imam Abu Hanifa used to sit. Imam Malik
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			used to sit across from the black stone,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:51
			when
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			he would visit.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56
			The.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			Right? He sat across from the at some
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00
			distance.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			Because of what? Because the took over Kufa
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			and they were gonna kill him.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			And he was he was, like, enemy number
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			1 because he he was, he was Abu
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:15
			Hanifa. Like, whenever some crazy heterodox group, deviant
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			group would say their kinda crazy stuff, he's
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			the one that
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			the people of Kufa called to shut him
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			down. Right?
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			So his his formulation of
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			doesn't include this idea of iman,
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			growing and shrinking.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			He says what? Iman is just one thing.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			And this is what basically this this point
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			is saying that iman is 1
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			and all the people of imaan are equal
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			in it. And the,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			the the the difference in ranks between them
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			is just a difference in taqwa
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			or in a difference in the person's ability
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			to suppress their own vain desires or a
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			difference in ability to choose more appropriate actions
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			versus less appropriate actions.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			Okay? This is Imam Abu Hanifa's,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			position and this is the Mathuridi School of
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Kalam,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			will will will keep this position and will
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			will say speak regarding iman,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			in this way. Whereas the other imams, the
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			Ashari School and the other Imams from the
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			Salaf, they said no, imam imam grows and
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			it contracts.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			So in their inter inter Sunni within Sunni
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:17
			debate,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:18
			right,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			and really the debate between this,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			they would say, well, it says in the
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:25
			Quran,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			saying that this will make their iman grow
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			with the iman they already have. They'll have
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			even more iman. It'll increase their iman with
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			the iman that they had from before. See,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			it's a proof that iman iman increases. So
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			iman said, I don't have a problem with
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			that. That's fine. Iman increases. Show me the
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			wheel from the Quran that iman decreases.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			Because that's what the are trying to get
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			out of this. That's what they want out
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			of this. They're like, iman increases. That's not
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			none of our business. We're just trying to,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			like, jack you and take your stuff and
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			enslave your family. We don't the increase part
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			is not our our interest. Right? So you
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			won't find that. You won't find any explicit
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			text where a decrease of is is is
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			is stated.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			So there are two ways of looking at
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			the the, this issue, and I think that
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			the difference is only a difference in wording.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			And the utility of it was to suppress
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			the ideology of the Khawarij, which was a
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			good which is a noble effort.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			And that is what?
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			Iman has a kernel
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			that it starts with,
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			which is what to say
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			and to accept everything that's in the in
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			the book of Allah and the sunnah of
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			the prophet
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			etcetera, at least in general.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			And then a person,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			that kernel is is is
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			it grows or expands or it contracts
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			based on your deeds, but it will never
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			it will never decrease less than that kernel
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			based on deeds. That part is solid. The
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			only way you can get rid of that
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			part is by disbelieving the thing that you
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			believed to become a Muslim in the first
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59
			place. That's according to the and the the
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			the Jamur position.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			Imam al Hanifa says, it's just a difference
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			in in nomenclature and terminology. So that kernel
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			is iman and then we'll just call the
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			expanding contracting part something else. We'll say that
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			that's your taqwa or that's your ability to
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			resist,
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			sin or your ability to
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			prioritize better deeds over less good deeds, etcetera,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			etcetera.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			Do you do you understand how they're they're
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			just 2 different terminologies
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			describing the same thing?
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			Right? The Jambhura writes,
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			you know,
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			Right? It comes it comes in the Suratul
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			Baqarah with
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			the the the discussion regarding the change of
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40
			the that,
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			one of the objections that the Muslims
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			had or the not the objections, the fears,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			anxieties that they had was the is changing.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			Does that mean our previous prayers were not
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:50
			valid?
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:54
			Allah reassures the believers that Allah wouldn't have
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			wasted your iman.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			And here,
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			iman, there's a mention of decrease,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			in in in in Amal, and it's called
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			iman in the Quran.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			So this is a proof that the Jambhoor
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			used no iman does decrease. But Abu Hanifa
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			will counter that this is not explicit. This
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			requires some interpretation.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			And anything that's explicit explicit,
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			we require people to believe in. Anything that
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:17
			requires interpretation,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			have time for. And if I mean, we
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			should appreciate rather than saying which one is
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			right and which one is wrong. We should
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			appreciate the fact that both of them seem
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			to be essentially describing the same thing, just
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			using different terminology to describe
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			it.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			And the believers, all of them all of
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			them are the aliyah of the most merciful.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			And the most honored of them with Allah
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			ta'ala is the one that is most obedient
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			and the one who follows the the commandments
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			of the Quran the most.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			Every believer is a wali of Allah. Every
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			person who says la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasool
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			Allah in a way that's acceptable,
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			every one of them is a wali of
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			Allah. Allah. There are two levels of wilayah.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			There's the wilayah to suhra which a person
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			enters into by entering Islam, and there's the
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			wilayah to kubra which is then described in
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			the hadith of, the hadith Qudsi of Imam
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:19
			Bukhari,
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			that that the Nabi said
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			that Allah Ta'ala said that that my slave
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			will not draw near to me by any
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			action more beloved than the the farb, the
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			the things that I obliged on on
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			him. And then after that, he'll keep doing
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			extra acts of good deed on top good
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			deeds on top of that until I love
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			him. And when I love him, I become
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			the eye with which he sees and the
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			ear with which he hears and the hand
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			with which he grasps.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			That's the
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			that's the greater station of.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			But, we shouldn't underestimate
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			that everyone who says
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			even if they're
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			they're even if they're a sinner,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			even if they're a drug addict or a
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			drunkard or a fornicator or any of these
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			things, As long as the kernel of iman
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			is secure inside of their heart,
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			is not a gift that Allah gives to
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			anybody except for because he loves them.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			And if you
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			know that Allah loves someone, you should be
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			careful how you treat that person.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			Because they may not be beloved to you,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			but they're beloved to Allah
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			ta'ala. Right? Just like someone, you know, a
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			mother, she loves her son or she loves
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			her daughter. Even the person person may be
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			the most obnoxious person in the world to
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			anyone else, but to the mother, they're beloved.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			So don't expect that you're gonna make a
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			make an enemy out of that person and
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			that that person's mother is gonna love you
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			then afterward. Doesn't work that way. So to
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			be very careful the way you treat another
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:43
			Muslim.
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			Like I said, the person may be obnoxious,
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			but Allah loves them.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			Even the worst of the sinners who has
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:50
			the
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			reality of that inside of their heart,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			That person, their heart, if it was shown
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			to the world, it has so much light
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			in it. It would blind everybody.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			It's such a gift. This is a hadith
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			that you see. So this is a rhetorical
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			flourish of a preacher. Okay. You want dalil?
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			You want dalil? You don't believe me? I'll
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			give you dalil. Okay? So hadith of the
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			messenger of Allah
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			that a man will come on the day
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:11
			of
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			judgment, when his scrolls of deeds are presented,
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			he'll have sins.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			99 scrolls of sins, when unfurled,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			go as far as the eye can see,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			which is a lot. Remember we said that
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			I can see, like, other galaxies and stuff
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			like that. That's a lot of sins.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			Okay? All 99 of them will be thrown
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			into into one scale pan.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			And then they'll ask where is this person's
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			good deeds?
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			And the angels will bring
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			a. Right? What is
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			in in in, like, modern Arabic is, like,
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			you're like a card, like, business card or
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			driver's license. These are, Right?
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50
			Like in Dubai, you know, like, like, I
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			I lived with some tailors from Gujranwala,
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			like, 9 of them in a in a
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			room in
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			in in the Emirates while studying.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			You know? So they you know, because you
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			live in an Arab country.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			So they're like, did that guy bring the
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:02
			card?
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			Their their their license is not made yet.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			Right? So the it's like a little like
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			a driver's license or business card. Right?
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			And it has written on
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18
			it. So, like like, so dramatically, this like,
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			all the angels stack these huge scrolls in
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			the scale pan, 99 of them. Then one
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:25
			angel comes with a cart, throws it, like,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:26
			you know,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			onto the scale pan. Allahu Adam, if he
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			throws it or puts a die in it.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			I don't know. I'm just over dramatizing my
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			mind. However he does it, it's still pretty,
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			like, dramatic. Okay? He puts the the
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			the on the other scale pan,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			And it outweighs the it outweighs the 99
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:42
			scrolls.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:43
			Job done.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			This is the reality of iman.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			And, you know, there's a there if you
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			read the rial al salihin, by the way,
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			I I recommend that you have it read
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			by one of the ulema.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			There's a really, really long chapter
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			in in in the rial of Salihin regarding
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			the fear of Allah, And there's, like, an
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			even longer chapter regarding the hope of Allah.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			And when you read one of them, you
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			think that's it. You know, this this is
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			all gonna end in burnt toast. And then
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			you read the other one, and you're like,
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			there's there's no way we can mess this
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			up. The hakrigah is somewhere in the middle.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:20
			Right? But, the the the rajah, the bab
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			of hope is longer for a reason.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			That inshallah inshallah will turn out okay inshallah.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			But everyone everyone who believes in in is
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			a wali of Allah and nobody carries
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			that except for it because Allah loves them.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			And so,
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			you know, you gotta give that its due.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			It's good. You want to fear Allah and
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			have alstakwa and stuff. That's wonderful. But you
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			have to give it its due. That that
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:45
			really does mean something. That's something really important.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			It's something really special. Even though you don't
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			see that specialness in the person, but it's
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:49
			hidden somewhere,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			Allah understands what you and I don't understand.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			Right? That's what he said to the
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			and the angels are like, why are you
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			putting these crazy people on earth?
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			And he says, I I know what you
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			don't know. Right?
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:12
			Well,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			And that iman breaks down the major parts
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			of iman are what? To believe in Allah
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			and to believe in his angels and to
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			believe in his revealed books
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:23
			and to believe in his messengers and to
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:26
			believe in the last day or the day
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			of judgment and to believe in resurrection after
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			the resurrection of, people after their death. And,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			by the way, the resurrection is physical resurrection.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			It's not just that your spirits will be
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			there on the day of judgment and then
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			you'll, you know, spirits will be given spiritual
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			reward and spiritual punishment.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			All that stuff will happen too, but it
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			will be physical wreck resurrection. Allah
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			will resurrect your physical bodies.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:50
			Alright?
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			The the ruh and the body were meant
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			to be together.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			When you you die and your physical body
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:58
			decays,
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			the is like, oh,
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			I'm here, but it's not it's not like
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			I'm not having fun and enjoying like I
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			did before. It feels like something's missing, something's
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			not there. Right? There are weird manifestations of
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			that even in this life. Like, someone has
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			a limb amputated
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			and that your your your ruh, like, misses
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			even the limb that's gone.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:23
			And sometimes people, like, the ruh will itch,
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			and there's no physical limb to scratch. It's
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			a very awkward this thing happens. Right? These
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			things actually happen.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			This is one reason it's good that you
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			guys fast and that we fast, that I
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			fast. It's good that we make dhikr. It's
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			good that we pray Because you could potentially
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			be in your kabbal for a really long
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			time. Can you imagine people who define themselves
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			only by their nafs,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			nafs consumption,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			by what they eat, drink, by their sexual
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:51
			appetite, by their love of consuming things and
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			buying things and selling things, you're gonna be
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			alone for a really long time. If you're
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			a person who can enjoy the salat of
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:58
			taraweeh, if you're a person who can make
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			the dhikr of Allah ta'ala, you're a person
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			who knows how to engage that part of
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			you, right, your time in the grave will
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			go by much better than if you're a
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:07
			person like
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			this happens sometimes. Right? This happens. Like,
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			you know, there are people you'll meet sometimes.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			You'll meet somebody who is, like, really physically
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			beautiful,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			but then they become old.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			And so they're accustomed to people treating them
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			a certain way just because of their beauty,
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			and they're completely empty of character.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			But now they're old and their beauty is
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			gone and, like, things are really awkward because
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			the reason people treated them well is gone
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			now. And they don't understand why, like, I'm
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			acting like a jerk to everybody, and it's,
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:38
			like, not
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			it's not like it used to be. And
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			so they're in a really awkward position. This
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			is like that, but, like, times a1000000,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			You're in your your and, like, you're just
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			it's gonna be hard. It's gonna be really
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			difficult,
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			for a person. At any rate,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			if Allah really wants to have a person
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:54
			enjoy,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			then they should be whole again so that
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:57
			they can enjoy
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			physically and spiritually.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			And if he wants to punish somebody, then
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			they have to be whole again so he
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			can punish them physically and spiritually.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			This is why it comes in the hadith
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			that the people's bodies will be expanded in
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			in Jannah and Jahannam.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			Because if you wanna torture somebody, the more
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			there is to torture, the more it'll hurt.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			Allah protect us from that. And if you're
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			in Jannah, inshallah, like, all all you wonderful
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			people will be inshallah. Say, Amin.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			Amin. Right?
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			The, in Jannah's hadith that, like, you won't
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			no one will have a beard.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			And look to the brothers, look to the
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			left and right, see how awkward that will
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:32
			be.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			Think of how awkward that will be. You'll
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			see this brother to the left and to
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			the right of you. They won't even have
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:37
			a beard.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			But you'll be in Jannah, so it'll be
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			okay.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			Inshallah, I mean. Right?
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			So you'll you'll be in Jannah. The body
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			will expand. Why?
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			Because then you'll enjoy the the pleasures of
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			Jannah more. Don't think about too much, but
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			you know what I mean? That's this is
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			the fadhu of Allah to Allah. This is
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			the the blessing of Allah to Allah, you
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:58
			know,
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			that that that that that he gives that.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			The bath is a physical resurrection as well.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			So the Ruach can,
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			you know, be whole again, you know. It's
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:08
			like the Blues Brothers. The band got back
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			together again. It's like the good old days.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			In fact, it's even better.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:12
			Right?
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			Inshallah, for for for the for the people
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			of Iman, Inshallah, it will be even better.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			It'll be even better than the first time.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			InshaAllah, you'll enjoy in this world and you'll
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			enjoy in the hereafter as well. If you
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			have to go through some difficulty, it's not
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			a long time, inshaAllah. Allah will will enter
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			you into his rahma sooner or later, inshaAllah.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			But that we believe in the resurrection being
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33
			physical. So be careful about what you do
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			with your body and what kind of things
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			you habituate your body to because it also
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			has an effect on your ru as
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			well. You know? And give your ru its
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			time and its space to grow and develop
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:43
			and
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			be healthy just like people are obsessed with
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			the physical health.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			Let them be. Let them also, you know,
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			take their spiritual health as something important.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:58
			And,
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01
			it's, you know, iman, a great branch of
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:01
			iman
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			is to believe in Allah
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			meeting out everything, meaning divine predestination
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09
			that the divine decree things only happen by
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			divine decree. The good of it and the
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			evil of it. But the good and evil
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			here doesn't it's not a moral judgment.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			Because Allah doesn't do anything morally evil.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			The good and evil here is, like, good
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:24
			is what you enjoy and evil is what
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			you don't enjoy. So if someone give you
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:27
			a $1,000,000, is it good?
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31
			Yeah. I mean, usually people wouldn't say that's
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:31
			a bad thing.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			Well, it could be a bad thing. It
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			could end up,
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			you know, you get it, and then, like,
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:40
			someone becomes an insincere friend to you because
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			of it. And then because of your friendship,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			you trust them, and then they backstab you.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			And, like, your whole life is a mess
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			because of the $1,000,000. Right?
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			But we'll call it because, generally speaking, a
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			person would like that. Right? If you got
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			into a, you know, if you if you
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:54
			got into a car accident,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			is that a good thing or a bad
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			thing? Generally, it's bad. What if you got
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			in a car accident and you had some
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			spiritual experience, and afterward you change your life
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			for the better, and then you memorize the
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			Quran because you, you know, realize that life
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			could be taken away from you at any
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			moment and, you know, you became a super
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			pious person. And because of your piety,
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			you know, whatever happened and, like, your son
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			became a Hafiz because he saw you or
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			your daughter became a Hafiz because she saw
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			you. And then they established a Madrasa, and
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			now, like, a 100 and faz graduate from
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			it every year, and you get the reward
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			of all that. And on top of it,
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			like, whatever,
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			you you you found out that you have
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			a really rich relative that died and left
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			you all of his money even though he
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			didn't want to. But because he saw that
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			you're producing 100 and Faz, you know, you're
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			a billionaire now.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			That could happen, but nobody on face value,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40
			nobody wants to get into a car accident.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			Right?
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			So when we when we say and and
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			we mean those things that you
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			like and those things that you don't like,
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			at face value. And that's why
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			is a tafsir of khairi and sharigi. The
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			things that are sweet and the things that
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			are bitter, all of it comes from Allah
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			ta'ala. So you should have some respect and
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			happiness regarding that because it came from him.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			And if you believe in him, it's good
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:04
			for you.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			His promise is as long as you believe
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			in him, whatever he sends will be good
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			for you.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:22
			And we believe in all of the above,
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			those those those points that are given above.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			Right, how many points are there right there?
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:35
			There's there's,
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			7.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			The belief in Allah, the belief in the
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			angels, the belief in the books, the belief
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			in the prophets, the belief in the day
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			of judgment, the belief in the physical resurrection,
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			and the belief in other, in in the
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			divine predestination.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			This is the point, you know, for anyone
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			who like, any
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			people from India, Pakistan,
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:56
			and
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			countries connected to
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			it, connected to them. This iman mufasa iman
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04
			mujmal.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			Right? This is part of the curriculum that,
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			like, school children are taught. Right? You're taught
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			this. This is not a thing, by the
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			way. There's no thing in Islam. Like, if
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			you go to, like, a Syrian or Iraqi
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			and say, iman mufasal
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			they're they're not gonna know what it means.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			Basically, it's from this aqidatahawiyah,
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			from this point that the imam Mujmal is
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			pulled that that that this is, like, this
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			point is basically taught to school children that
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			you have to believe in all of these
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			things. It's directly from this book.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:30
			Right?
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			That that that that syllabus or that curriculum
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			that that the kids were school kids are
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			taught, that's
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			pulled from this text.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			We believe in all of the above, and
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			we do not differentiate between any of, the
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			messengers. And we say all of them came
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			with the came with the truth, and we
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			believe in everything what that that they all
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			came with. So what we say, we don't
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			differentiate between any of the messengers. What we
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			mean is not in in their,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:04
			in in their rank because, obviously,
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			certain messengers have higher rank than others. This
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			is explicitly mentioned in the Quran.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13
			Okay? The the the the what we say
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			that we don't differentiate between any of the
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			messengers, meaning in a in a qualitative
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			sense, we say that all of them came
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			with the truth because all of them are
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:22
			the messengers of the same Allah.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:26
			So just like it's blasphemy to disrespect one
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			of them, it's blasphemy to disrespect any of
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			them. And just like we believe in 1
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			of them, we believe in all of them.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			And if you disbelieve in one of them,
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			you've disbelieved in all of them.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:38
			Right?
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:40
			Allah Why?
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42
			Ad, how many prophets were sent to Ad?
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			1. What was his name?
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			Hud, alaihis salam.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			Right?
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			By the way, Allah Allah Ta's Messenger
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			said, you know, said said to name your
		
00:30:58 --> 00:30:59
			children the names of the Ambiya alayim Islam.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			It's very rare to find a child by
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			the name of Hud. Right?
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06
			So inshallah, make me a you'll name, like,
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			your first son Hud. Inshallah, maybe you'll get
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:09
			married faster.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12
			Whereas in the back you listening? You gentlemen
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			listening? Are you all all you listening?
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:15
			To you?
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:17
			A little pro tip.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:23
			Right. So why does all it's only one
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			prophet. Why is Allah Ta'ala saying the ad
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			disbelieved in, like, plural, al mursaleen?
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			Because whoever denies one of them, they've denied
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			all of them.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			When it comes to wahi, you accept all
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			of it because you don't have a seat
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			at the negotiating table. Allah said it. That's
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			it. Right? The same thing when it comes
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			to deen. You cannot pick one part of
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			deen and then abandon the other part. I
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			believe in this part. I don't believe in
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			that part. You don't believe in any of
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:45
			it.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			Right? This is this is the meaning of
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			the the ayah. I believe Surah Al Maidah
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:51
			Allah
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:58
			And indeed,
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04
			So says both of them are are true.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:05
			Right? Oh, messenger,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			deliver the messages that that were sent to
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			you by your lord.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			And if you don't
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			and if you don't do so, then you
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16
			haven't delivered the the the the message
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			or and you haven't delivered the messages.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			And the says the reason both
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			are there is because the person who doesn't
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			deliver some part of the message is the
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			same as the one who didn't deliver any
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:27
			of it.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			So all of the,
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			we don't have any enmity to any of
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			them, and we consider all of them to
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:38
			be,
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			all of them to be,
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			equal. We consider all of them to be
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			equal.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:47
			Not like the banu sala'il that resent that
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:47
			resent
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51
			resent the fact that Arnabi was not from
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:51
			amongst them.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			Even though many of them admit to this
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			day that he is Rasool of Allah Ta'ala,
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			but since he's not from amongst them, they
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			say he's we don't accept what he says.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:03
			We don't we don't do that. We're not
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			like that. We don't think like that.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			Our allegiance and our alliances to Allah and
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:09
			whoever Allah sends,
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			to to be a a leader or guidance
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			for us, we accept them.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:16
			We accept them without any questioning.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			And we prefer them over our our own
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			our own parents and our own children and
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			over our own selves, in fact.
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			I
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:27
			mean, this is Yom Qiyama.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			People's lineages will be cut off. A person
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:32
			who dies on iman and their forefathers died
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			on kufr, the lineages will be cut off.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			And the akhirah, they were not going to
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:36
			be your forefathers.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			They're not going to be your forefathers. And
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41
			the akhirah, who are your forefathers, is the
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			people who came in iman. It comes literally,
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:45
			there's a hadith of the children that the
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46
			children who's,
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47
			who died
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			in their childhood, the children of the kuffar.
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51
			It's a weak hadith, I believe, but it's
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			still it's narrated. It's not it's not like,
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:57
			fabrication at any rate. That, the children who
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			die in in their, and their parents,
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:01
			are not believers.
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04
			Sayidna Ibrahim alaihis salam takes kafalah of them
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05
			in in Jannah.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			He's like their father for them in Jannah.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09
			He adopts them in Jannah, essentially.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			Right? Why? Because if you die in iman,
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			you're and and and and you you die
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			and you're on iman, then you're talukatuh, people
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:19
			of Kufr are all cut from that point.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			In our in our in our deen,
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			the there is no haq of miroth of
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			of inheritance between a kafir and a believer
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			either way.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:28
			You can give a
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			but the the automatic right to to to
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			inherit is not there.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:34
			Right? You can give up to a third
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			of your bequest, up to a third of
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			your
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			your,
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39
			inheritance
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			through explicit bequest. That's possible between a Muslim
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			and a kafir. But to give to to
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:46
			to show up in front of a judge
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			and say I have a right to that
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50
			person's mouth, it's not there because at the
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			time of death, the the connection between a
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			believer and between a non believer is completely
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:54
			cut.
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:46
			The people who are the sinners,
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:49
			the the the people who are who habitually
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50
			do major sins,
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			The people who are who habituated to major
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			sins from the ummah of the prophet
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			There are from amongst them those who will
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			go to the fire,
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			but they will not be there eternally when
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			they die.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			As long as they die in a state
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:10
			of tawhid.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			Tawhid meaning that they worship no one but
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15
			Allah ta'ala, but it's a majaz. It's like
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:18
			a, it's like saying cell cell phone. Right?
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19
			It's so much more than a phone. Right?
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			The is the most important part of your
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			iman, meaning if they have a valid iman.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26
			If they die and they have a valid
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:26
			iman,
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			they'll go to the fire and they won't
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:29
			be there forever.
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			Even if they didn't make tawba for their
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33
			sins before they died,
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			after they met Allah,
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40
			knowing him and believing in him.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:43
			At that point, if a person dies
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:45
			with all of these major sins and without
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48
			having made tawba from them, they meet Allah
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:49
			subhanahu wa ta'ala and
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:50
			their,
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53
			their fate rests on whatever Allah's wish is
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:56
			and whatever Allah's command is. If he wishes
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			to, he can forgive them even though they
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:58
			didn't
		
00:36:59 --> 00:36:59
			repent.
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03
			Right? We don't believe like the Christians believe
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			that god's justice means he has to punish
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			everybody. We don't we don't believe that. There's
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			no justice. There's no nothing superimposed over Allah
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			that forces him his hand to do do
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:14
			something. Rather, he does whatever he wants
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16
			to. That's his right.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			There's nothing there's no justice greater than him
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			his holy essence himself.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			So what happens is that those people are
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			are are basically left up to whatever Allah
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			wishes for them and whatever Allah decrees for
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			them. If he wishes to, he will forgive
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:30
			them,
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:32
			and pardon them
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			by his fadl, by his grace.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			The same fadl that even the righteous and
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:39
			the oliya and the ambia will enter Jannah
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:42
			through. That Fadl, if he wishes to through
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			it, he will pardon them.
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			And,
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:48
			like Allah Ta'ala mentions, mighty and majestic is
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			he in his mighty book,
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			indeed, all does not forgive
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			that somebody should
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			associate partners with him.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:00
			This means what? That a person die in
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			the state of associating partners with him. He'll
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:04
			forgive it if a person makes toba from
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06
			shirk. The toba from shirk is to enter
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			Islam. If they do that before the that
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10
			they die, he'll still forgive them. But it
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			means if they die in that state, he
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:14
			won't forgive it. Don't show up expecting forgiveness
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			for that. It's not gonna happen.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:19
			Indeed, Allah and it's not because he can't
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			forgive them. It's because he says, I'm not
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			gonna do it.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			And verily Allah
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			doesn't forgive that someone should associate
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:28
			partners with him,
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			but he will forgive,
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:33
			other than that for whoever he wills. If
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:34
			he wishes to, he'll forgive.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:36
			So if he wishes to, he'll forgive. And
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:38
			if he wishes to, he will torment them
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			in the fire because of his justice.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:42
			But still, eventually,
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:45
			right, their punishment will be finite. Eventually,
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47
			he will pull them out of the the
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			fire through his mercy
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:52
			and through the intercession of those who intercede
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			from the people of,
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56
			of obedience. And then afterward, he'll send them
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			to send those people to Jannah.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:00
			He'll send those people to Jannah. None of
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:01
			them will be in the fire forever.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04
			This comes, this brings up another,
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:07
			question. Right? The the the why is it
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			the people of Jannah, they do a finite
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			amount of good deeds and they go to
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			Jannah forever. And the people of the fire,
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			they do a finite amount of sin, but
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			they go to Jahannam forever. And this has
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18
			to do very much with aqidah, with a
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:20
			person's belief and with a person's intention.
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			Allah gives everybody enough life to see what
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			they're gonna do in this world.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			You're not here to build bridges and to,
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30
			like, build the huge wonderful dunya that you'll
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			live for forever in it. He only gives
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			people enough life. Some people, it's more life.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			Some people, it's less. He gives them enough
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			life to see what they, you know, so
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:41
			that that he already knew, but it's for
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43
			him to let it happen and for you
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			also to bear witness to what you would
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:45
			have done
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			were you given the chance.
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			So there are some people, they live such
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			a life that they struggle in their obedience
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			and they demonstrate
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:56
			that had Allah give them eternal life, they
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			would have always been in the
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			obedience of
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:01
			There are people like that.
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			Make us amongst them as well.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			And there are some people they disobey Allah
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			such that if they were given eternal life,
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			they would have disobeyed Allah forever.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			And that's why they they they earned the
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			they earned the the the punishment forever.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			The people of belief, their sins, they may
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:24
			be punished for them or they may be
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			forgiven them, but they're not going to go
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			to Jahanam forever.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			So
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:54
			this is also the sentiment of Imam Tawawi.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			He says that the reason for this, the
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			reason that they will go to Jannah eventually,
		
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59
			even though they may have committed all the
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			same sins as the people of Kufr,
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			is because Allah most high,
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:04
			he
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:05
			he he he
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:07
			takes the allegiance
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:11
			and the protection of those who acknowledge him,
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:13
			and he never made them neither in this
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			world nor in the hereafter. He never equated
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			them with the people who,
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			who who,
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			you know, disavowed him
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:22
			and those people who,
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26
			were not were not people who received guidance
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:27
			or accepted guidance.
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:31
			This comes to another point of,
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:33
			which is that a movement and a kafir
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			are never equal. Okay? One of the things
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			that, like,
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			don't ever say it while I have a
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			pen in my hand and I'm, like, within,
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:40
			like,
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			10 feet of you
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:43
			is,
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			oh, oh,
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			we have in our country, we have Muslims,
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			but we have no Islam. In this country,
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:51
			we have Islam, but no Muslims. Why do
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			you say that, uncle?
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			Because people here can stand in line.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			They're so orderly.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01
			Was the did Nabi Salam come down to
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			teach people how to stand in line?
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			The one who worships Allah ta'ala,
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			only 1,
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:10
			and who has hope from him, and who
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			has fear of him. No matter
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13
			how rough and how
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:17
			ill behaved that person may be. Okay.
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20
			That person is superior in the eyes of
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			Allah to an entire universe of people who
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:27
			are dressed well, Armani suit educated,
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:28
			PhD,
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			good manners, stand in line all day and
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:32
			never complain,
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			clean streets, all of this other stuff. I'm
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			not saying that we shouldn't be like that.
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			We should. But I'm saying that to to
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:41
			to try to equate the 2,
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:43
			this is ridiculous.
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:45
			This is a major sin
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			to look at any and
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:50
			think that this person's
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			and their with Allah is what their is,
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:55
			what their value is, what their worth is.
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:57
			That to think that their with Allah
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			is more than that of a person of
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			iman, no matter how much you may detest
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:03
			that person's worldly
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			habits or worldly condition, this is a great
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:09
			sin and this is an aqidah problem. This
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			is a really big aqidah problem.
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			Rather, what did we say? We say that
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			everyone who says
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:16
			is a person of Allah You
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			may not love them, but Allah loves them.
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			So be careful be careful of how you
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:22
			treat that person.
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			And don't ever say don't ever
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:29
			don't ever say that a person because of
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:30
			their dunya we have it is better than
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:31
			a person of Islam.
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:34
			Right? Islam is what? It's there to join
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:37
			the the the the link between the the
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:38
			the and the
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:40
			the the creator and the creation.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			It doesn't have to do with, like, you
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:45
			know, the superiority of, like, garbage collection in
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			the streets. Even even though we should have
		
00:43:46 --> 00:43:49
			good garbage collection. I agree. I I mean,
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			I don't I'm not advocating that we should
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:53
			live in a in a in a
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:55
			chaotic society.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:57
			But what I'm saying is whatever your situation
		
00:43:57 --> 00:44:00
			is with regard to these worldly adab
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			in this world, It has nothing to do
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			with your relationship with
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:07
			Allah And to not know that, not to
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:08
			acknowledge that. Right?
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:11
			Allah tells who he tells the
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:12
			himself. He tells
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			Right? Be patient with the people who call
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22
			on their lord by the morning and by
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			the night, and they're the ones who who
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			desire to see his face.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			Do you like to see him in Jannah?
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:28
			Alright?
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33
			And don't turn your eyes away from those
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:34
			people looking at
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			the people, you know, in desire of the
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:39
			the beauty of the life of this world.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:42
			So Allah tells the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			sallam that. And he's telling the ummah that
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:45
			in the Quran itself.
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			So so don't ever, you know, I don't
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:50
			care if like, you know, it's like Michael
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:50
			Jordan.
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:55
			I mean, I don't care if it's whatever
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			LeBron James.
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:59
			But right now, they're they're not on that
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:02
			path. Right? You don't you you you do
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:04
			not you do not, you know you know,
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:07
			even whoever it is, whoever brother at the
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			masjid that you see, even though they can't
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:11
			stick their tongue out and slam dunk the
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:11
			ball,
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:13
			you know, even though they don't get paid
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			1,000,000 of dollars a year,
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			even though they're, you know, don't have, like,
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:20
			a 1000000 followers on Facebook or Twitter or
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:20
			whatever.
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			If you get the one the the the
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			one like and the one friend,
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:29
			right, from from from from beyond the
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:32
			and from beyond the, that's the only one
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:33
			that that counts.
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:35
			It's the only one that counts.
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:39
			So don't be very careful with your tongue
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:42
			never to despairs the people of Iman. It's
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44
			okay to say we should have better garbage
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:45
			collection in our countries. It's okay to say
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:46
			it would be nice if people in the
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:48
			Muslim country could stand in a line. Like,
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50
			do in Turkey. Some of the other ones
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52
			that we don't need to name, they really
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:54
			can't. Right? It would be nice. You know,
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:55
			it would be nice in Hajj if people
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:58
			like stood in line for stuff. Right? But
		
00:45:58 --> 00:45:59
			guess what? There's still the guests of Allah
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:02
			and his Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and there
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			are billions of people who are really good
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:06
			at standing in line and Allah didn't invite
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			them to his house and he didn't want
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:08
			them there. And even if they came, he
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:10
			wouldn't have accepted it from them.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			And that that means a lot more than
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:14
			what we think is important. And this is
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			these are things that people I don't know
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			where they learn these things from and, like,
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:20
			why these habits of saying this type of
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:22
			stuff and where they got it from, but,
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:22
			like,
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25
			so horrible, so bad. What is what is
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			Taha'i says? That's because
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:29
			in both in both this world and the
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			hereafter, he never equated.
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:34
			Forget about saying that they're superior to, to
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			the people of Iman. He never even equated
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:38
			them, not in this world nor in the
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:38
			hereafter.
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:40
			The people who are the people of his
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			gnosis and the people of his,
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:44
			the
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:46
			the people of his gnosis,
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			He never equated them with the people who
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:50
			didn't know him and the people who wasted
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:53
			the the chance to to to receive guidance
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			and never took from his wilayah. And
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:56
			so Taha'i says, oh, Allah.
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:00
			Oh, Allah, who is the wali, the guardian
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:01
			and the protector of Islam and the protector
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:02
			of its people,
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:04
			Make us hold fast to Islam until we
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:06
			see you with it.
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:07
			Say Amin
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			Amin.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:10
			Someone had a question. Yes.
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:38
			Right.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			So the so okay. 2 things. 1 is
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:45
			this is somebody be somebody fearing getting caught
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:46
			from another person.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:48
			So
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:52
			which generally translates as ostentation or showing off.
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:55
			Riya is the more proper definition of it
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:56
			is to do things,
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:58
			for the eyes of other people
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			which can mean doing a deed because you
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:02
			wanna be seen by others or not doing
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:04
			a deed because you're being seen by others.
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:06
			It becomes sometimes very subtle,
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:08
			in the sense that,
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:11
			you know, in the sense that, a person,
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:12
			for example,
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:14
			you know, he wants to read 2 rakas
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:16
			and then he sees someone else comes into
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:16
			the masjid
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:18
			and then he's like, oh, I I was,
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:19
			you know, I'm just gonna do it to
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:20
			show off to them so
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:23
			so I won't read it. That's also showing
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:24
			off because the reason you didn't do the
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:26
			2 rakaz is because someone else is watching.
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			Right? Or the the the fact that you
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30
			won't do a sin because other people are
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:31
			watching, but
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:33
			but, if no one's watching, a person will
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:34
			do it.
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:37
			These things, riya is called by the prophet
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:41
			It's, the lesser shirk.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44
			But that's metaphorical. That's not literal.
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:48
			It's metaphorical. It's not literal. A person, if
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:49
			they they should do ostentation,
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:51
			it's it's a it's a sin, but it's
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:52
			not kufr.
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54
			But because it's because of its,
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			because a person thinks of someone other than
		
00:48:58 --> 00:48:59
			Allah when doing or not doing something,
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02
			it's metaphorically,
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05
			it's metaphorically compared to.
		
00:49:07 --> 00:49:09
			So that has to do also with a
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			person's intention. So for example,
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			if if a person is
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:15
			prone to a sin, they should try to
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:17
			hide it. Someone's addicted to some sin or
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			whatever.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:21
			Right? Someone's, like, addicted to smoking weed. Right?
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			Don't smoke weed in front of other people.
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:26
			Hide and do it separately. Why? Because you're
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:28
			afraid what other people think of you? Really,
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:31
			you shouldn't be. If Allah sees you doing
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:32
			it, that should be a sufficient humiliation that
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:35
			it doesn't that everything else is equal. But
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:36
			the reason you should hide it is what?
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			Is that when you do it in front
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:40
			of another person, that person will testify against
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:43
			you. Allah tells people to hide their sins.
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:45
			In fact, there's a hadith in which says
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:47
			that that Allah is a satar. He's the
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:48
			one who who screens people's faults.
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:50
			So if you committed a sin and no
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:51
			one else saw you and you never told
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:53
			anybody about it, Yani, you never boasted to
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:55
			anybody about it, never told anyone about it,
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:57
			then Allah will not bring it up on
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59
			the day of judgment. But if you spill
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			it out, oh, you're smoking weed last night.
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:02
			It was some really good stuff, man. Then
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:04
			you'll be taken to task. Allah says I
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05
			won't forgive you for it.
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11
			Which means what? That you have to make
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:12
			toba from that also. He might forgive. But
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:14
			the point is is that you complicated it
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:16
			now. Right? So the reason we should hide
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:17
			our sin from other people is not because
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:19
			we're concerned about others, but we're concerned that
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:21
			this is another further sin in front of
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:23
			Allah ta'ala that we made it regular. Like,
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			imagine if
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:27
			for all you know, I could be,
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			addicted to weed also. I'm not But
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:32
			for all you know, I could be. Right?
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:35
			So imagine, right, until now, you suspect this
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			guy smokes weed, but he does it when
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			no one's watching. Right? That's bad enough.
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:41
			Imagine if I if I did it in
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:42
			front of everybody.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:44
			Then all of the potheads would be like,
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:46
			oh, well, Sheikh Hamza does it and he's
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:47
			like he teaches
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:50
			man. Like, you know, how bad could it
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:52
			be? So it'll encourage them, all that sin
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			will be on my head then.
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:57
			Right? I don't I don't smoke weed. It's
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:58
			not good. Don't do it, please. It's not.
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			People there are people. It's not haram. It's
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:03
			haram. Don't do it. Right? But I'm just
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:05
			saying that's why that's why a person should
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:07
			hide their sins from other people.
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:09
			That they shouldn't hide it because they're afraid
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:10
			of someone more than Allah ta'ala.
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:12
			If it wasn't for this fact, you know,
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17
			if it wasn't for this fact, a person
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:18
			should hide their sin.
