All praises to Allah
and may his peace and blessings be upon
his servant and messenger, Sayyidina Muhammad
Islam is a very wide circle.
If a person commits a sin,
or even if they have, to a certain
degree,
incorrectness in their belief,
the person is not cast outside of the
pail of Islam.
Rather,
imam or faith
has
a credal definition,
which is that you have to believe the
right things inside of your heart, and it
has a spiritual definition.
Meaning that it is a condition inside of
the heart that is described in the world
of the unseen,
in the world of intangible things, in the
world of meaning.
Rasulullah described the
the the kefir and the condition of iman
in spiritual world, and the hadith in which
he mentions
that every son of Adam is born with
a black spot on their heart. Every time
they commit a sin or some disobedience of
Allah
that black spot will grow.
And every time a person
makes tawbah and repents to Allah
it will get smaller.
This is a disease that affects the heart,
but not the physical heart. It affects the
spiritual heart,
which is the seed of intention
and the seed of conviction inside of
every human being. That is what is referred
to in the hadith of the prophet
that there's a morsel of flesh inside of
the heart. If it is rectified, the entire
body is rectified.
And if it is,
fastened, if it's spoiled,
then the entire
body is spoiled.
Nay, verily indeed, it is the heart. And
the mention of the morsel of flesh
isn't what the heart is, but it's what
the locus of the heart is because the
spiritual heart is located in the same place
as the physical heart.
So this is the the the the life
of the heart. This is the spiritual definition
of what iman is, what faith is.
So it's possible that somebody's heart is 99%
dead and blackened.
But if there's even
1%
or a fraction of 1%,
If there's even a minute,
minuscule,
infinitesimal
amount of iman in that heart, that iman
that heart will be eligible for salvation on
the day of judgment.
However,
when we, as Muslims, practice our deen, our
goal is not to be one of those
bare minimum people who slide by. Rather, Rasulullah
salallahu alaihi wa sallam commanded the people of
this,
and said that al Firdos is the
the center of Jannah in the highest the
apex of Jannah.
Just like
Chicago people know that the Sears Tower I
don't even remember what they call it now,
but they call it something else. The Sears
Tower is like the the the center of
downtown, and it's the highest part of downtown.
This is it. That that that al Firdaus
is the center of Jannah, of paradise and
it's the highest part of paradise. So if
you ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for something,
ask him for Al Firdaus.
Meaning what? You shouldn't shoot for the bare
minimum. You should shoot for the best.
This iman,
even though it lives in the hearts of
a great number of people.
Even though it lives in the hearts of
a great number of people and were strictly
prohibited
and forbidden by Allah ta'ala alaihis rasoolallahu
alaihi wa sallam
of accusing a person of not having iman,
of accusing a person of kufr, of disbelief,
until and unless it has become rationally impossible
for that person
to have faith. Meaning, someone says, I believe
in a nabi after the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
Somebody says that, I believe in 2 gods
or 3 or more.
Somebody says that, I believe that, you know,
all of the Quran is correct except for
this part of it. At that point, it
is rationally impossible for that person to be
a Muslim.
You can have a suspicion, for example, that
a person prays and fasts but they are
doing it insincerely,
But it's possible that you're wrong. The benefit
of the doubt is given to all people
with regards to faith.
This is the way of the ahlesunu janaa.
It is haram to what? Accuse another person
of kufr. This doesn't mean
that every person who has faith is a
person that should be looked up to or
emulated in regards to Marj al Din. And
so if you read the aqidah of the
'arsunu al Jamaa, they have
a kind of like a chart. If you
conceive of it with me like a circle.
The widest circle is what they call the
alul tibla. Alul Tibla for our, masha'Allah,
young and budding students of knowledge who are
learning Arabic literally means the people of the
Tibla, but it has nothing to do with
I mean, it has it
has nothing to do with the tibla,
at least in its entirety.
It's a technical term.
It's a technical term that's used to describe
all of those people who meet a very
bare minimum definition of Islam, even if they
face the wrong qidla.
The
are what? Those people, you know, that that
are good, those people that are bad in
their Islam, those people that are ugly, but
they need some sort of bare minimum definition
of iman. Even if they don't pray, even
if they don't fast, even if they're, you
know,
not people who ever bothered to learn Arabic
or Tajweed or any of these things.
There's a lot of people inside of that
definition.
That's the periphery of the circle. In the
center of the circle is the target, those
people who are on their deen,
those people who are practicing their deen, those
people who conceive of the deen properly.
And so that group of people in the
center, and then there's it gets tighter and
tighter in the middle, but that group of
people in the center, that's what we refer
to as the alhusunu al Jama'a.
Alhusunu al Jama'a, the sunnah people know what
it means. What does sunnah mean?
Means the practice of rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
People don't understand what the word means.
Jama'a doesn't mean because it means literally in
Arabic language, it means like a congregation or
a gathering of people. Many people assume that
Jama'a means some sort of democratic majority.
That we follow the sunnah and we follow
the majority of Muslims. And it so happens
that throughout the history of Islam, the majority
of people who claimed Islam
always belong to the
at least in their conception of deen.
But the word doesn't mean the majority of
people. The word jama'a also, just like ahlutiblah,
has a very specific technical meaning. The word
jama'a also has a very specific technical meaning.
It means who, the sahaba radiAllahu ta'ala anhu,
and those people in every generation who follow
their way.
So if you read the history of Islam,
which unfortunately very few people read the history
of Islam, if you read the history of
Islam, you'll see the first heresy within Islam.
The first misguidance in matters of creed,
within the Ummah was that of the Khawarij.
And it actually happened during the lifetime of
the younger generation of the sahaba radiya wa
ta'ala Anhu. They were a group of fanatical,
homicidal maniacs.
When we say fanatical, we don't mean that
their faith was very strong. That's what fanaticism
means to the kuffar. Anyone who believes their
faith is really strong, this is so and
so is a fanatic, is a fundamentalist, is
an extremist.
If the faith is in Allah Ta'ala and
it's what makes you eligible for salvation and
what makes Allah Ta'ala love you, then there's
nothing wrong with having faith. There's nothing wrong
with imam. The more imam a person has,
the better they are.
They're fanatical. Why?
Because they twisted those beliefs that were handed
down by Allah Hisr Rasul huallahu alaihi wasallam
to the companions of the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam, and they made their own
interpretations,
like a person who commits a sin becomes
a non Muslim.
And that person, once they become a non
Muslim, they're an apostate. And once they're an
apostate, you kill them, and then you take
their,
their property, and then you enslave their family,
and do all sorts of other heinous and
horrendous things. And if you think that this
is something irrelevant to you, there are people
who think like this even to this day,
and they actually do these things even to
this day. And they're scourging the blight on
the ummah, whoever opposes them, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala will reward them. Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam prophesies the coming of the the
to his Sahaba radiAllahu alhum. To say, no
Umar and say, no Ali radiAllahu ta'ala alhum.
He said that these people will come and
he described them, that they look really pious
and they look very fierce, and they'll be
hard people to fight in battle. And he
said that wherever you find them, you should
oppose them because they are the worst of
Allah Ta'al's creation underneath the cover of the
heavens.
At any rate, those khawarij,
that fitna actually was a
strong political force in the Ummah
in the early times of Islam,
probably for about a century almost, until the
rough riding,
tough general,
al Muhallab al Abi Sufra,
essentially decimated them in battle one time after
the other.
But Alumayyah did a lot of service for
Islam even though their tariq wasn't perfect. But
a person who has an isaf will accept
the good and will,
reject the bad.
At any rate, al Muhammed ibn Abi Sufra,
he basically decimated them as a political force.
But those people were still around while the
sahaba were there, which is the point I
wanted to make.
They're still around while the sahaba were there.
They used to meet with the sahaba radiAllahu
anhu in the Haram
sharif. Those people who rode in with the
army of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
in the Fath of Makkah, and by their
own hands cleansed the Kaaba and the Masjid
Al Haram from idols
and brought it back into the the the
condition it was during the life of Sayidina
Ibrahim alaihi salatu salaam.
They would argue with them that you don't
understand the Quran. You don't understand the deen.
This is what this ayah really means. This
is what Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam really
meant by this ayah.
What did they do? They co opted the
interpretation of the Quran. From who? From the
sahaba radiAllahu anhu. And tell the yawmutiyama,
anyone who does so, that person, it's a
sign of their misguidance.
If you tell them that this is the
maslak and this is the the way of
the companions of the messenger of Allah salallahu
alaihi wa sallam, and they say, who are
the companions of the messenger of Allah? Why
should we care about the companions of the
messenger of Allah? This is the madal, this
is the standard by which we measure if
a person is on guidance or misguidance. What
does the ahusunu janaa mean? They didn't say
ahusunu was sahabah because
the they passed away.
They're gone. They no longer are alive in
this world,
in the in the conventional sense.
We don't say
because
if that was what we are, then that's
done. That doesn't exist anymore. We say jama'a.
Why?
Because
the sahaba were the first of that jama'ah,
of that congregation.
And then from the tabriim, from the generation
after them, those people who accepted their way
as authoritative, learned it from them, and then
transmitted them, they're part of that jama'a.
And then, in the next generation,
those people who took that message from
those tabi'im,
right, they're the ones who are the jama'a.
In every successive generation, there are a group
of people who belong to that jama'a.
Now, because the majority of the Muslims for
the entire history of Islam
subscribe to this methodology and subscribe to this
ideology,
Generally speaking, whoever is in the Muslim world,
whether that person knows how to pray or
not, whether that person
you know, knows anything about fasting, anything about
aqidah. Whether that person is a pious person
or an impious person, a righteous person, or
a not righteous person, we say that so
and so is what? A sunni. When we
say sunni, what do we mean?
We mean that that person is
adhering to the creed of the Ahl Sunnal
Jamah.
But the fact of the matter is that
this is you know, you're not Sunni because
of the country you're from.
You're not you're not part of the because
of the,
the the the family you're from, or the
race that you're born into, or the part
of the world that you're born in, or
the citizenship that you have. The deen is
not like that.
Hinduism has a caste system.
The ancient religion of the Israelites,
it had a caste system. Certain people were
from the priestly castes. Certain people weren't.
We don't, in Islam, we don't have a
caste system.
This is not based on nationality. It's based
on what? The person is a Muslim who
says
the time and they believe the belief in
it in their heart.
And this al al sunnah
someone says, well, why are you dividing everybody
by saying sunni and this and that and
this
blah blah blah. Why can't we just all
say we're Muslims?
The reason is we are all Muslims.
However, the preservation of guidance in this ummah,
which was the task that the messenger of
Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam informed us would
be
upheld and discharged
by the ulema and specific by the ummah
in general.
That is a duty that we cannot shirk.
And there are certain people in the ummah
that have shirk this duty. They have turned
their back on this duty. They've ignored it.
Some people have even opposed it. And the
deen that was taught to us by Rasulullah
salallahu alaihi wa sallam tells us what? Because
the deen of samaha,
of what? Of of of forbearance with people.
I will send you the most forbearance the
most forbearance
way and the most forbearance,
way of following the truth.
Sometimes religious people become fanatical and they become
real angry and they get upset about it.
Rasoolallah
says that's not what I was sent with.
What I was sent with is what? That
forbearance way of following the truth.
Because of that, a person can still be
a Muslim but the person is not a
person of guidance.
They can be spreading all sorts of weird
ideas that are diametrically opposed to what Rasulullah
salallahu alaihi wa sallam said. And they can
be doing weird things
that are opposed to what Rasulullah salallahu alaihi
wa sallam was sent with. They can be
harming the other Muslims. Still the messenger of
Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam forbid us from
saying you're not a Muslim.
Forbid us from saying you're a kathir. Forbid
us from saying you're a munafiq. You're a
hypocrite. Forbid us from kicking people out of
the pail of the deen. That if that
person, that same person, who's the most disgusting
person you can think
of, transacts in riba, you know, sells alcohol,
sells drugs, kills people, harms people, has a
foul tongue, whatever. If that person were to
walk into the masjid,
forget about pray the pray the salat in
the congregation.
If that person were to walk into the
masjid and leave the salat, there's no mufti
that would say that the salat was invalid.
Why? This is from the samaha of the
deen.
Because things that happened in the dunya,
none of them have any any sort of
comparison with the spiritual reality of faith that's
inside of the heart. This is our belief
as well.
That no matter what your opinion about a
person is, yomabdiya wa zuhadeep rasoolallahu
alaihi wa sallam narrates that a person will
come with so many sins that they fill
99 scrolls when unfrilled,
Go as far as the eye can see.
And there are some people who have a
bent toward literalism in this ummah. So if
you wanna be literal about that, although literalism
is not a
robust interpretive methodology,
it doesn't really work. And the ummah's, you
know, it came up at some point in
its history and the ummah abandoned it quite
quickly.
But if you haven't been toward literalism, then
know that your eyes can see like the
sun, they can see different galaxies.
It's a lot of sins.
99 scrolls, went unfurl,
will be filled with sins as far as
the eye can see, went unfurl.
And the angel will bring a small card,
literally the word is It's the word in
the modern language for, like, a business card
or for, like, a driver's license or something.
Right? That they'll put it will have written
on it and it will be put in
the other scale panel and it will outweigh
them. Which means what? You may not like
that person, but Allah loves them. So that's
your problem.
You may not like that person. You may
look at the ummah of the prophet
and say, who are these people? They don't
speak English properly. They don't have good degrees.
They smell weird. Their streets are messy and
they're filled with garbage.
They're horrible people. They, their marketplaces
are chaotic and unruly.
They don't know how to stand in line.
People say silly things like that, don't they?
They say, oh, look. We have Muslims in
America. But we have Muslims in the Muslim
country. But Islam is
in the Western European countries. Why? Because they
know how to stand in line. Allah ta'ala
sallam, his Rasool Allahu alaihi wa sallam to
teach people how to stand in line.
There are people who'll be standing in line
in this world with great order.
They're also gonna be standing in the line
to go go to Jahannam. Do you know
that? Otherwise, if standing in line and orderliness
was a virtue, then there would be the
would have come down about the Nazi party.
Because they're very orderly people. You see how
they march and salute, and it's completely a
a a spectacle. It's a big show.
Brothers and
sisters, the samaha of the deen
means that the circle of people that is
considered to have a valid iman is very
wide. It's even wider than people think.
And we are not allowed to transgress or
throw somebody out of that circle. Run last
week, run afoul of Allah to Allah who
brought those people into it.
However, that doesn't mean that all of those
people are on guidance and you want to
follow the way of all of those people
and you want to take your deen from
all of those people. This system is not
a system of sectarianism.
This system is a system that shows that
Allah ta'ala's mercy,
it outstrips the rules that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala laid down for his creation.
The commandment of the prophet salallahu alaihi wa
sallam is not to try to be one
of the people on the outskirts of that
system. The commandment of Rasool Allah salallahu alaihi
wa sallam is what? Is that you should
try to be in this dead center. You
should hit the target,
in the in the dead center. You should
hit the bullseye.
That Allah
will show you in front of all of
His creation on the day of judgment as
somebody He's proud of, somebody He's pleased with,
somebody who's the first to enter into Jannah,
Somebody who did what they were supposed to
do and even better in this world.
What is the goal of Islam? The goal
of Islam is not to establish a caliphate
so that there's a policeman who write people
tickets for not going to salat al Asr.
The goal of Islam is not to what?
Build wonderful buildings.
The goal of Islam is not to what?
Make wonderful clothing. The goal of Islam is
not to make you someone that everybody loves
and wants to be your friend. If that
was the goal, even rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam failed in it. Even though he
was the nicest
person that was ever created, the nicest of
Allah Ta'ala's creation, the most beautiful and the
most lovable of Allah Ta'ala's creation. People still
opposed him because of
His sahaba radiAllahu anhu after him, they weren't
opposed by the mushrikeen.
The ones who lived long enough, they're actually
opposed by the umna itself.
Saidan al Khasayin radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, the grandson
of the prophet
Said, na Abu Lahiri Allahu Ta'ala Anhu, was
he assassinated by non Muslim? Absolutely not.
It's not about something in this dunya. It's
about what? It's about making it on the
other side. It's about when the angels open
the gates of Jannah. That same Abu Bakr
as Siddiq, the 8 gates of Jannah are
opened and he's called from each and every
one of them. That Allah ta'ala out of
his iqram for him, out of his honor
for him says, enter from
every any one of the gates that you
wish. This is your choice on this day.
In the dunya, you did everything not from
your choice but from my choice. On this
day, you enter the gate of Jannah that
you choose for yourself.
That process is preserved by a set of
people.
Those people are the
This is not a sectarian pronouncement.
This is also part of the deen. This
understanding that the two groups are are overlapping
but they're separate.
They're overlapping but they're separate in their definition.
This is also part of the deen. And
Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam told us that
the best of his ummah,
is is is my generation.
Then after that, the one who comes after
then then the ones who after that who
come after them. And he said
that there are people who will be given
victory by Allah
Why? Because amongst them is a nabi.
And there are people who will be given
victory by Allah because amongst them is somebody
who met a nabi.
And there are people who will be given
victory by Allah because amongst them is someone
who met someone, who met a nabi of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
This group is still here with us. The
reason the hadith ends
is because what? A person who has intelligence
in their mind will know that this sinus'ah,
this chain keeps continuing.
However, look at us nowadays.
We have no idea
where did this beam come from. We think
that the Quran started in, like,
a print shop in Madinah Munawala or in
Damascus or in Cairo.
We don't know the person who you know,
the masahas are written by hand. You know
that. They're not written by, like, you know,
someone typed up and says,
space bar
enter. You
know, these things, they're written by hand. There's
an entire salaw with just the writing of
of of of the musa. There's an entire
salat for the the ayat,
the numbering of the ayat. There are different
qira'at of the book of Allah. This is
just the mushad itself.
The entire deen is transmitted by sunnah. Almost
none of us know where it came from.
Almost none of us know where it came
from. Now, we live in we live in
the United States. You know, the the constitution
was a revolutionary document in the history of
mankind.
It provided Western Europe, which at that point
had become the most efficient civilization in the
history of mankind of killing people, it provided
them with some sort of restraint and reasonability
so that they don't cancerously just consume their
own their own nations as well.
To run run groups
of people that have different ideas that will
bring them to blows and fighting with one
another so that they can function as a
cohesive group without cancerously killing, destroying one another.
This is actually a large achievement in the
history of mankind.
That constitution, however, wasn't perfect. You know, in
the original constitution,
people of, of of African origin,
they're considered to be what? They're considered to
be 3 5ths of a human being.
Is that is that African American 3 5ths
of a human being?
This
is
an abomination
unto the Lord,
which is worse than many of the things
we consider to be sins. To say that
or believe that.
What did they do to those people in
order to keep them enslaved? It's that they
convinced them that you're not really a human
being.
They did a number of things, chained them,
shackle them, beat them. One of the things
they did is they made it illegal to
teach them how to read.
Now, if they're already intellectually inferior, which is
what the claim was, one of the justifications
for enslaving one race and saving another, which,
by the way, never existed Islam. Islam had
slavery, but it never had this thing that
we have over here in in this country
where one race is considered inferior to another.
It was a completely qualitatively different institution. All
they do is share the name, just like
the federal government and Federal Express are 2
different things. Right?
However, what did they do? They said they're
morally, sorry, intellectually inferior.
And then they say, what? It's illegal to
teach them how to read. If they're inferior,
you don't have to pass a law about
it, do you? You don't have to punish
people for doing something that's not possible in
the first place. It's all a lie. What
is one of the things that they did
to them?
They changed the names of the slaves,
and when the slave was born, they would
as a child, they would separate the the
baby from the mother, the husband from the
the mother and father, husband and wife. They
separate the families from one another, so that
child grew up as a stranger.
So that child There are African Americans in
this country. You can see them and you
can see this is a this person bears
a resemblance with the Mandinka tribe in West
Africa or this person bears a resemblance with
the Hausa tribe. This person bears a resemblance
with the Bangarra tribe. They have no idea
which tribe they came from nor do they
even know what the names of their forefathers
were.
What was their excuse? Their excuse, they were
shackled.
They were abducted at gunkka and shackled to
ships and brought them the hull of packed
ships to America and then separated generation after
generation who separated from each other.
You don't even know what the the name
of the person who brought the Quran to
you or who brought the 5th to you
that you pray every day 5 times a
day with. You don't even know what the,
the name of the person who, brought the
the the adidas and its sanath. You have
no idea the names of any of these
people.
They have their excuse. What's your excuse?
It is perhaps because we're disconnected with that
chain that we also not behave like slaves.
This is something that we have no excuse
for because all of those names are preserved.
We know exactly who all of those people
are. However, we think that everything came without
any sort of context and that I'm gonna
go and wiki something. You have no idea
which Adriani or which, orientalist wrote the article
in the Wikipedia, but you're gonna send it
to everybody. And then afterward, you're going to
wonder why is that we have this mentality,
this mindset that makes us like slaves?
Brothers and sisters, there's no reason for this.
There's no reason for this. There are a
group of people who are in power,
culturally, both in this country and back home,
politically, economically,
that don't like the teachings of the Ahmussun
al Jama'a. They're placed in the places that
they are through,
very intentional
means by people who don't follow this deen
or people who don't love this deen. We
like to blame Western countries and powers. Really,
it's not their fault. It hasn't been their
fault for quite some time,
if ever.
There are people from amongst us that have
this mindset.
And what do we do as the rank
and file, pious people who pay their zakat
to fast every Ramadan and come to the
Masjid on Friday? We follow without thinking, we
follow without questioning. This is also our duty.
Part of the preservation of the deen is
what? Just like you go to Hajj just
like you fast in Ramadan, part of the
preservation of the deen is what? Is that
we should learn what those names are. We
should learn who those people are. We should
learn what their path is. And there's no
age in which this is more sorely needed
than the age that we're in right now,
where every everyone,
says whatever they want to.
Abdulladin
Mubarak, he's a
hadith kamendi, the the 6 books of hadith.
You know, the Muhaddithin were very cutthroat in
who they narrated from. You know, Imam Bukhari,
one of his masha'is, Ahmed bin Hambal. He
doesn't narrate one hadith from him in Sahih
Bukhari. Why? Because all the hadith that Imam
Ahmed had, which is like over a 100000,
Bukhari found from somebody else who has a
higher chain of narration.
So the fact that someone is narrated from
in the books of hadith means that there's
nowhere else to go but that person. For
them to be in all 6 books, there's
very few individuals that are that are that
are of that caliber.
He said something very beautiful. He said, al
Ismail ibn Ad Din. That this chain of
narration, knowing where your information came with the
unbroken chain back to mess the messenger of
Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Walola isnadu laqalam manshaah manshaah.
If it wasn't for this chain of narration,
whoever would have wanted to say anything about
the deen would have said whatever they wanted
to say about the deen. So if somebody,
Abdul bin Mubarak, continues, if somebody says to
you or asks you the question, this piece
of information, where did you get it from?
Don't be upset. Be happy because it's a
sign that this is not still alive in
the ummah of the prophet
We're in an age of fake news.
Like, literally, there's, like, quantitative studies that show,
without any doubt, that fake news spreads faster
than real news does.
Everybody loves to hear something fantastic.
Very few people have a natural inclination toward
hearing the truth.
Brothers and sisters, there's no time and age
in which the need for this was more
than now. Authentic teachings with regards to the
deen. Authentic teachings with regards to,
Islam.
Not only in knowing what you know,
but knowing how you know it so that
you can trust in that knowledge.
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, give all of us
so much tawfiq to be connected with our
elders and with our masha'if, that we, learn
their knowledge and we have love for them
in this world, and that love saves us
on the day of judgment. It's not an
exaggeration.
Nonetheless. Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
a
man will be with the one that he
loves. How are you going to enter into
Jannah with those people you don't even know
who their names are? They're more important than
our our parents, our mother and father. Allah,
remove us from this state of self imposed,
orphanage that we put ourselves into.
Allah give Allah Tawfiq wa sallallahu ta'ala a
larsulhi sayyidin Muhammadin wa'ala alahi wsa'bihajmani.
