00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

Whoever

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

pulls his hand back from

00:00:51 --> 00:00:51

obedience,

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

meaning the obedience of the temple authority of

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

the Muslims,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

This is not

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

the Masjid border, the Masjid imam, but this

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

is the sovereign state of the Muslims.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

That person when he meets Allah on the

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

day of judgment,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

there will be no proof that will be

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

admissible in his favor.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

And whoever dies and

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

he has not given an oath of allegiance,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

literally, there's no oath of allegiance in his

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

neck.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

He doesn't take upon himself the responsibility of

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

the oath of allegiance to any temporal ruler

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

of the Muslims.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

That person will die the death of Jahiliya.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:28

And so

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

there are two variants for this word, and

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

is

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

what you call in

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

the person dies a death of Jahiliya.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

And Nita is what they call ismuhayyah,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

the way in which you do something, that

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

the person dies in the manner of the

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

people of Jahiliyyah.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

Meaning what?

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

Obviously, it doesn't mean that a person dies

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

a captor,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

but what it means is that a person

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

dies in such a such a

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

manner

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00

of arrogance that it resembles the death of

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

the people of Jahilia. Why? Because Islam is

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

something that

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

brings

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

order and imposes order and

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

calls for order and demands order. And Jahiliya

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

is anarchy.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

Jahiliya is something that every man is mutakabir.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

Every man will run on his own system,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

every man will run on his own whims

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

and his own desires, every man will not

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

like to have another person over them.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

They will not find their place in any

00:02:27 --> 00:02:27

ecosystem,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

biological or spiritual rather, they will constantly be

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

sticking out and wherever they go, they'll create

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

chaos rather than order.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:37

And

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

that that style of death is the death

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

of such a person.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

In a different narration,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

narrated also by Muslim, by Saidna Abdul Abhin

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

Omar Radhiallahu Alai Anhu,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

that whoever dies and he has left the

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

the gathering of the Muslims or the group

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

of the Muslims, that person dies

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

a death

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

in the manner of the death of the

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

people of Jahiliyyah.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

Someone has put over you in in,

00:03:32 --> 00:03:32

command.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

Means to use something. But in terms of

00:03:39 --> 00:03:39

political

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

science, it means to

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

make a person governor over certain province or

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

a commander over a certain a certain group

00:03:47 --> 00:03:47

of

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

people. So the is

00:03:50 --> 00:03:50

is

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

meaning linguistically means someone who's doing something, but

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

the amil in in in political discourse means

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

a governor or a commander.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

So here and obey even

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

if the governor over you or the commander

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

over you is a Abyssinian slave,

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

whose head looks like a shriveled raisin.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

It's narrated by Bukhari. Meaning what? It doesn't

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

matter if you,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

like the leader, you don't like the leader.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

If that's the system that's the system everyone

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

agreed to, that's the system

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

not meaning everyone agreed to as in, like,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

we took a vote from everyone and everyone

00:04:23 --> 00:04:23

said yes.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

But there's something called the social contract that

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

people generally

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

accept that the state is with the state,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

the government is the government, the police is

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

the police. They may not be perfect. They

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

may actually be people who do a lot

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

of bad, but they are who they are.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

As long as they don't ask you to

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

do something haram, you're expected to obey them.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

You're expected to obey them and you're not

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

you're expected to help them and not to

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

cause difficulty for them in everything they do

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

that's not haram. Why? Because it,

00:04:52 --> 00:04:52

enshrines

00:04:52 --> 00:04:56

and empowers order and it sends away and

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

makes difficult chaos and disarray.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

And so what did he say? This is

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

affront to their Jahili system that a, we've

00:05:02 --> 00:05:05

mentioned from the last hadith that it's a

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

sign of Jahiliya that nobody wants a person

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

to

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

tell them what to do or be in

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

command over them or be in a position

00:05:12 --> 00:05:14

of authority over them. Nobody likes anyone else

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

to do that anyway, even even if they're

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

equals. Okay? The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

this hadith is saying forget about if they're

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

equals. In the Jahili system,

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

they used to consider themselves to be superior

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

to everybody else as Arabs. Okay.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

Arab means to speak eloquently. Right? The word

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

that Arabs have for non Arabs is

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

a. Right?

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

Means what? It means

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

stupidity. You know how they say stop being

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

dumb. Dumb doesn't mean someone who's who's a

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

person of low intellect primarily.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

It metaphorically means someone of low intellect.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

The literal meaning of them is someone who

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

doesn't know how to speak or someone who's

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

unable to speak. And so that's what they

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

use that's that's the the wording that they

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

used to use, that their language is very

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

eloquent and that the language of other people

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

is unable to convey what their language is

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

able to convey, which we believe is true

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

as a matter of Aqidah.

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

But there was an arrogance that went with

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

it in the first place. And then amongst

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

them, amongst their tribes, one tribe would say

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

we're better than you, the other tribe say,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

no, we're better than you. And, at any

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

rate, if you're not a free man, if

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

you're not from the Arabs, if you're not

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

from a noble lineage or a noble tribe,

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

then you're a person of lesser worth, a

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

person who's like as if you're subhuman.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

What is the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

wa sallam saying?

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

That you are to hear and obey

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

even if the person who is put in

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

leadership

00:06:41 --> 00:06:43

through the system over you

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

is a person who's an Abyssinian slave.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

Wa Salukah Zabiba, even if he's an Abyssinian

00:06:49 --> 00:06:49

slave,

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

forget about a free Abyssinian free man even

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

if he's still a slave?

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

His head is like a shriveled razor.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

Meaning that what? Not only is he Abyssinian

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

slave, he's an ugly one too.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:05

It's like a it's a literary expression in

00:07:05 --> 00:07:05

order to

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07

to to put the thing push it to

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

the extreme limit. That if that's the person

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

that that's put in command over you then

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

even then you have to hear and obey.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

And there's a very interesting discussion regarding this

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

because

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

the hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:07:19 --> 00:07:19

sallam

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

is also that al imat al aymatubin

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

Quraysh

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

that your rulers should be from Quraysh. This

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

is the Sahih hadith of the prophet sallallahu

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

alaihi wa sallam narrated by the great Muhaddithim.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

And in fact, when the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

wa sallam passed away,

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

in the Sateefah to Bani Sa'idah, the Ansar

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

radiAllahu ta'ala on whom gathered to choose a

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

leader for Madinah

00:07:43 --> 00:07:46

after afterward. And their their idea was what?

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

We're gonna choose one of our cazar city.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

We'll choose one of ourselves to be the

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

leader. Then messenger of Allah is the messenger

00:07:52 --> 00:07:52

of Allah.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

But afterward, it's our city, so we run

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

it like we used to run it for

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

centuries. We'll keep running it. So sayna,

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

Abu Bakr and Sayna Amar

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

they heard about this and so they went

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

to go and join that meeting, attend that

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

meeting. And so there's 2 of them from

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

the. How many are there? There are 2

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

of them. There are literally thousands of Ansar

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

there. There are 2 of them and there's

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

1,000 of Ansar.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:16

And so what

00:08:17 --> 00:08:17

happens

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

is saying, Omar radiAllahu anhu takes it.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

So saying Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu takes a

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

turn to speak, and he reminds them he

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

reminds them of a couple of things. 1

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

is that your bay'ah was the prophet sallallahu

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

alaihi wa sallam when he made Hijra is

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

that that you promised him you would always

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

prefer other people over yourselves.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:36

Is it true or not? They said, no.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

Yes. It's true. We promised that we'd prefer

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

the Muhadrin over ourselves.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

He said also the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

sallam said and many people heard it that

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

he said, Al Ayimatumun

00:08:46 --> 00:08:46

Quresh.

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

That the the temporal ruler should be from

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

who? From Quresh.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

Did you hear that or did you not

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

hear it? And so they said, yes. We

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

heard it. And they accepted.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

Right? 1000 of people, they accepted the argument

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

of 2 people. This is what the sign

00:09:00 --> 00:09:02

of their taqwa and the sign of their

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

piety and the sign of the truth of

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

their faith,

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

So then they said, okay. Well, what's your

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

idea? So sayin Abu Bakr says, my idea

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

is that the only person that can lead

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

this ummah is this man, and he points

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

to Sayidna Umar. And Sayidna Umar

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

then asks him. He says that who is

00:09:16 --> 00:09:19

the one, amongst us about who, was revealed

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

in the Quran, Faniyit Nayidhuma Filgha. Who is

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

the one amongst us about whom was revealed

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

the second of 2 when they were in

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

the cave? When he said to his companion,

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

don't fear, verily or don't grieve, verily Allah

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

is with us. And so Sayidna Abu Bakr

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

Abu Bakr, he, he didn't say anything forward.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

So Sayna Umar then says, I suggest

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

that we, make Abu Bakr into the leader.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

And everybody in the crowd,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

not only accepted, but they all took Be'a

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

from him except for 1 man who went

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

home and said I I have to make

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

Mashra with my people first. And he came

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

back in that afternoon and he took bay'a

00:09:54 --> 00:09:54

with him as well.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

And, this this now the question comes is,

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

okay, what does this hadith mean with regards

00:10:01 --> 00:10:04

to the Ayyim being from Quraysh? And the

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

answer to that is what?

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

Is that,

00:10:09 --> 00:10:11

the pronouncement of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:10:11 --> 00:10:13

sallam about the Ayima, about the the leaders

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

being from Quraish

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

was not a, a fiqi ruling.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:20

Rather, the ulama considered it there are some

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

ulama that considered to be fiqi ruling, but

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

the vast majority of ulama considered it not

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

be fiqi ruling, but to be a,

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

a a a kind of analysis of what

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

the political,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

landscape of the Arabs was. That the Arabs

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

wouldn't accept somebody from,

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

the ulcer, the Khazrj to be a leader

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

over them because they consider themselves to be

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

superior to them. And you see when the

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

prophet passes away majority of the Arabian Peninsula,

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

even if they accepted Islam, they still had

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

a lot of inside of them. As

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

the had to come campaign for several years

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

to subdue and quell the kind of uprisings

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

of the Arabian Peninsula and put people in

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

in a mode that they would be able

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

to then do the service of Islam.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam understood

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

that the Arabs wouldn't have accepted a leader

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

from them. And so he said, keep keep

00:11:08 --> 00:11:11

your leadership from Quresh because the Quresh were

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

respected amongst the Arabs even in Jahiliya as

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

the hand of Allah. That they're the people

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

that Allah Tawhid came and defended them, in

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

the year of the elephant, and he's the

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

one who defended their rule of the Kaaba

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

and the Nabi sallallahu alaihi wasallam is from

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

Quraish, etcetera, etcetera. They could accept a ruler

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

from Quraish,

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

but they couldn't accept a ruler from somebody

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

else other than them. This hadith is the

00:11:30 --> 00:11:33

what the is. Is that if the leaders

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

even if the leader is a slave,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

you have to accept him. And the interesting

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39

thing is that the Ummah has made

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

the the Ummah has made the Ummah has

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

made the Ummah. There have been slave dynasties

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

both in the Indian subcontinent and in Egypt

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

and Syria as well where,

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

Mamluk Dynasties were the the there's a

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

the between the slaves of the state,

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

whichever one of them is a capable and

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

learned and talented,

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

person, talented commander, talented ruler that they could

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

rise up to the ranks all the way

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

to the point where the were,

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

they gave, they they after several slave kings

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

ruled over Egypt one after the other,

00:12:13 --> 00:12:14

they gave a

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

a saying that what? That in our sharia,

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

there's a problem that the temporal ruler of

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

the Muslims has to be a free man.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

You can't have, like, a slave give the.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

You cannot have the slave be the sovereign

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

ruler that take people to take Biafra. They

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

were slaves that were owned by the state,

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29

by the.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

You can't have a slave be the temporal

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

ruler of Muslims.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

And the interesting thing is that the slave

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

dynasties, Mamluk's slave dynasties both in India and

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

in,

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

one thing that they kept in common was

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

that they had

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

that a supreme amount of respect for the

00:12:45 --> 00:12:46

ulama.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

In fact, the patronage for

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

and the patronage for dean

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

under the reigns of these slave dynasties was

00:12:53 --> 00:12:57

unprecedented compared to the even the the the

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

free kings from before. So they listened to

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

the Alama. They said that you can't be

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

king if you're a slave. So they said,

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03

okay. What do you say? What do you

00:13:03 --> 00:13:04

say should the solution be?

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

They say that that what that we, say

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

that the solution should be that as a

00:13:09 --> 00:13:10

formality,

00:13:10 --> 00:13:13

the the state should sell the slave to

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

someone and that person should free them. And

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

then that person can be people people can

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

take with them as a ruler. And so

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

what they would do is they would do

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

that. They would have as a formality, as

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

an honor, they would one of the of

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

Al Azhar, they would sell the the person

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

who's gonna become king to him, and then

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

he would free him. And there's a thing

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

in the sharia what they call.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

Right? That the person who you slit who

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

who you who frees you and the person

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

who you free, they are like a family

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

member to you in al Sharia in the

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

sense that that if there's no other

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47

blood relatives, you inherit that person's wealth when

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

they die and they inherit your wealth when

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

they die. That person is one of the

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

mula fa. That person is one of the

00:13:52 --> 00:13:52

legitimate

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

inheritors of the sharia. Even though they're kind

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

of on the bottom rung, but still there's

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

some. There's more between you in terms of

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

inheritance and a freed slave than there is

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

between, for example, a person and his second

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

cousin or something like that. And so as

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

a honor, they would they would be freed

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

at the hands of the ulama, sold and

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

freed at the hands of the ulama, and

00:14:11 --> 00:14:14

then they would rule like that. But the

00:14:14 --> 00:14:15

point is is what? The the the ummah

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

is actually made amule on this. And the

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

proof of what I'm saying also is what?

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

The Ottoman Empire,

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

they're Turks. They're not from Quresh, are they?

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

But the the the

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

something as close as you can get to

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

the Ijma'a of the Ummah regarding their caliphate

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

happened. And it's interesting, there are a few

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

people who near the end of the Ottoman

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

Caliphate started to,

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

started to object to,

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

the,

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

the Ottomans

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

the legitimacy of their caliphate by using this

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

hadith al-'Aima to be in Quresh.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

There's a segment of them from the Indian

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

population. Ahmad al Zahandri was one of them.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

He said these people are not the legitimate

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

rulers of India because they're not from Quresh.

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

Another person who

00:14:59 --> 00:15:01

rejected or or objected to their

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

legitimacy was

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

the Sharif of Mecca.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

But he has somewhat of a conflict of

00:15:07 --> 00:15:10

interest. A, first he's not a alim. B,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

he has somewhat conflict of interest because he's

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

trying to rebel against them. So, you know,

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

you can see how how much legitimate,

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

how much legitimacy that objection has. And by

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

by and large, for the most part, the

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

you know, it's difficult to claim Ajamaha from

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

a technical point of view because,

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

you know, who's there to go back and

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

say, was there nobody who who disagreed?

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

But something very close to Ijma'a, Masha'Allah,

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

of the Ummah. They accepted that the Ottoman

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

Empire was the,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

was the legitimate rulers of the of the

00:15:39 --> 00:15:42

Muslim world. The Khadim Al Haramain Al Sharifain.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

Just like the Saudi the rule in Saudi

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

Arabia, right, that

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

the the custodian of the of the 2

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

harabs,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

next to their name with the title. That's

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

what the the,

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

what you call

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

what the Ottoman rulers did as well. Right?

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

So if you go to for example, you

00:16:00 --> 00:16:03

go to Istanbul, you go to the Yavuz

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

Salim Masjid in in in,

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

in Istanbul,

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

you'll see the inscription. It says right. It

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

says, the khadamal,

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

hadamal al Sharifayn,

00:16:12 --> 00:16:16

Ulu, Haqan, whatever all their Turkic titles, this,

00:16:16 --> 00:16:19

that, and the other. Salim Khan. Right? Nowadays,

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

Salim Khan is somebody we go and buy

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

meat from on Diwan. Right?

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

In those days, Khan meant something different. It

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

meant a big

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

it was like a it was

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

like nowadays like they had in those days,

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

but Allah made it easy. But at any

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

rate, this is a this is a making

00:16:38 --> 00:16:39

making Amal on what?

00:16:40 --> 00:16:41

This is making Amal on the hadith of

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The Nabi

00:16:43 --> 00:16:45

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, whoever is the

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

ruler above you, even if he's an Abyssinian

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

slave whose head is like a shriveled raisin,

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

if once he he's a ruler, once the

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

system is going, everybody has accepted it, you

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

know, practically, if not verbally,

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

then, you're obliged to go with it. You're

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

obliged to hear and obey. And the only

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

exception to that is what we said from

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

before, which is what if they tell you

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

to do something haram, then you are obliged

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

to not hear and not obey.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:40

Is to hear and to obey. It's a

00:17:40 --> 00:17:43

commandment over you to hear and to obey

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

in times of difficulty

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

and in times of ease.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:47

Otherwise,

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

some people obey in times of difficulty, some

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

people in in times of ease, whatever it

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

is, your how you're enjoying or how you're

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

not enjoying, there's nothing to do with it.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

So in times of difficulty or in times

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

of ease,

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

as well as when you're motivated,

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

as well as when you're demotivated.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

Is when you're motivated. When you're motivated to

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

obey, even then it's a commandment for you

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

to obey. And when you're not

00:18:14 --> 00:18:17

when you're averse to obey, even then it's

00:18:17 --> 00:18:18

a commandment over you to obey.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:24

And even even if it requires you to

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

prefer others over yourself.

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

These things happen. Sometimes you have to take

00:18:29 --> 00:18:30

a hit for the team as well.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

Right? There are things, for example I mean,

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

there I I don't know if it's exactly

00:18:38 --> 00:18:39

example, but,

00:18:40 --> 00:18:41

you know, for example, like

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

eminent domain.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:46

Right? There's like a need. Sometimes eminent domain

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

is abused by rich people in order to

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

dispossess the poor of their wealth, but sometimes

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

it makes a lot of sense. Right? What

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

does that you know what eminent domain is?

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

It's like when the government, for example, start

00:18:56 --> 00:18:57

to build a road, you know, through an

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

area and you own a piece of land

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

that the road has to go through. Right?

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

What they'll do is they'll just give you

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

the cash value of the land and they'll

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

take it. And even if you don't wanna

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

sell it to them, they'll take it by

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

force. They'll give you the cash value to

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

get lost. Right?

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

Well, I mean, sometimes the the government use

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

it to dispossess people of their land unfairly,

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

but more, you know, more commonly,

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

you you know, it's something for the greater

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

good. You know, if there's a hospital needs

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

to be built, a road needs to be

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

built, a pipeline needs to be built to

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

bring fresh water to a city or something

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

like that. So those types of things, you

00:19:28 --> 00:19:29

know,

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

when you have people come together,

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

you're always gonna have certain decisions that are

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

gonna positively impact some people and negatively impact

00:19:37 --> 00:19:37

other people.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

And you have to understand that

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

if you're negatively impacted

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

by a decision and it's for the greater

00:19:45 --> 00:19:49

good, that you're still required to look beyond

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

your own personal

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

benefit and look toward the greater good. And

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

if there's a, you know, if you're calm

00:19:54 --> 00:19:58

enough and and unbiased enough and objective enough

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

to understand that, then you should give up

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

your right in order that,

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

everybody, you know, like the greater good can

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

be served from something. And this is what

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

it means.

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

Even if you have to prefer

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

others over yourself

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

in the process of obeying, you have to

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

do so. And you know that you know

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

that at that point, there's a reward for

00:20:17 --> 00:20:20

that as well. Allah will reward a person

00:20:20 --> 00:20:21

for that as well. But that's part of

00:20:21 --> 00:20:22

the process.

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

The system doesn't work if everybody is looking

00:20:25 --> 00:20:28

out for number 1, so to speak. If

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

everybody is looking out for themselves and people

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

don't know who number 1 is anyway. Allah

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

and they made themselves into into that. That's

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

that's that that doesn't work. That system

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

descends into chaos. It becomes a law of

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

the jungle and people start living like animals,

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

which there are many people who

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

live like animals nowadays or pushing toward going

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

toward that that extreme. It's not gonna work

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

out.

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

Is a hadith narrated by Sayna Abdulah bin

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

Amr bin Asr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhuma,

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

in which he says that we were with

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

the messenger of sallallahu alaihi wa sallam once

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06

on a trip on some sojourner, some journey,

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

and we all stopped and got down from

00:24:09 --> 00:24:10

our animals

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

and so some people started to pitch their

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

tents,

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

and some people,

00:24:16 --> 00:24:16

were

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

competing with one another, practicing archery

00:24:20 --> 00:24:20

or,

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

horse racing,

00:24:22 --> 00:24:24

competing with one another. This is one of

00:24:24 --> 00:24:25

the things that they

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

used to have sports but their sports weren't

00:24:28 --> 00:24:29

games.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

There's there's a difference between a sport and

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

a game.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

A game is something that's kind of like

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

an idle pastime.

00:24:35 --> 00:24:36

It's one of the reasons

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

it's not haram, it's obviously better than what

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

a lot of people do. So in that

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

sense, I don't object to it particularly but

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

like basketball

00:24:43 --> 00:24:43

and

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

and soccer and these types of things, they're

00:24:46 --> 00:24:48

kind of their games. They're they're like fun

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

and silly things people do but they're not

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

practical sports

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

like, a person who learns martial arts, a

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

person who learns archery, a person who learns

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

riding, a person who learns these types of

00:24:59 --> 00:25:02

whatever other things are practical. Obviously, there is

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

something practical, a person who can play a

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

soccer match, you

00:25:07 --> 00:25:07

know,

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

is probably much more fit than the person

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12

who, you know, sits and reads all day.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

And so in that sense, there's there's a

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

bit of practicality to it.

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

But the Sahaba radiyaala ta'ala, who at any

00:25:17 --> 00:25:18

rate, they didn't used to play games.

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

This is one thing very interesting that both

00:25:22 --> 00:25:25

Indian subcontinent are so crazy for cricket. Our

00:25:25 --> 00:25:26

madrasa had

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

a a ban on cricket.

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

The sheikh of Hadid said the madrasa said

00:25:29 --> 00:25:30

this is the most pointless game in the

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

world. We stand around the whole day

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

because it doesn't

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

give your body any vigor. He says go

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

play soccer, go do something that that that

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

requires more more vigor, you know.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

Standing around the whole day is not is

00:25:42 --> 00:25:45

not is not It's not a fatwa, that's

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

just I guess a preference based on some

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

practical considerations. But,

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

so yeah, so this was a habit of

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

these to compete with one another and there's

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

a whole like move for competitions and tournaments.

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

There's a whole fit that the Prophet SAWSOME

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

laid down like you know, how is the

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

competition like gambling? How do you make it

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

non gambling? So for example, if there's a

00:26:05 --> 00:26:08

archery contest between you know, between Uthman and

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

between Adid and between Anas

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

then,

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

you know, the prize money has to be

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

before the winner has to if you wanna

00:26:16 --> 00:26:17

make a tournament or whether it has to

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

be given either a, from a 3rd party

00:26:20 --> 00:26:22

or b, you know, 2 1 or 2

00:26:22 --> 00:26:23

of you can give it, but you have

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

to have other competitors in it that might

00:26:25 --> 00:26:27

win that are not paying anything in. So

00:26:27 --> 00:26:28

if you guys say that I'll put in

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

5, I'll put in 5, I'll put in

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30

5, whoever

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

wins takes the whole thing, then it's gambling.

00:26:33 --> 00:26:34

But if it's,

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

if some external person puts it in or

00:26:35 --> 00:26:35

a person puts the money forward as a

00:26:35 --> 00:26:35

donation,

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

if a person

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

if a person puts in the money as

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

a donation and they let somebody else who

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

hasn't put money in compete in the in

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

the in the competition that has a reasonable

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

chance of winning, then the Prophet used to

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

allow that, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So they constantly

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

sharpen their skills, they constantly sharpen their skills

00:27:00 --> 00:27:01

for all of these things.

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

And it would be, you know, it would

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

be good, it would be good if, you

00:27:05 --> 00:27:05

know,

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

the I've seen some of our young people

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

get into a fight and it's bad a,

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

that they're getting into a fight but b,

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

then it's sad to see that they don't

00:27:12 --> 00:27:12

want to fight

00:27:13 --> 00:27:13

you.

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

So yeah, so some of us started

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

pitching our tents and some of

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

us started, you know, competing with one another

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

in these sports

00:27:30 --> 00:27:31

and some of us,

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

took the animals because they have animals with

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

them, livestock and whatnot. The animals need to

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

be, you know, the riding animals and grazing

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

animals,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

they need to be grazed and they need

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

to be fed and given water and all

00:27:42 --> 00:27:43

of these other things.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

And so some of us took the animals

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

out.

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

And while we were doing that, a caller,

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

the caller, the crier of the prophet sallallahu

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

alaihi wa sallam called out that come together

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

for salat.

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

And so we all came together.

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

Is what the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam call

00:28:00 --> 00:28:02

people to when he wanted them to come

00:28:02 --> 00:28:03

together but it wasn't the time of the

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

father prayer.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

Right. The father prayer that call for that

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

is the adhan. But, if it was some

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

salat like the salat for,

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

for for the eclipse or for

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

the Iden or for

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

something other than the 5 daily prayers, then

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

you would just have a cry and tell

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

the people that come together for the salah.

00:28:23 --> 00:28:24

So we came together.

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

And then the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

00:28:26 --> 00:28:28

wa sallam after that,

00:28:28 --> 00:28:29

he told us

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

that there was never a nabi, there's never

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

a prophet that came before me

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

except for,

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

it was incumbent upon them, an obligation upon

00:28:40 --> 00:28:40

them

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

that they should guide their their Ummah to

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

the best of what they know

00:28:45 --> 00:28:49

and to warn their Ummah's against the the

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

worst evils that they they could warn them

00:28:51 --> 00:28:51

of.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

And verily this Ummah,

00:28:54 --> 00:28:55

of yours

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

its afiyah, its happiness

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

and its freedom from worry is in its

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

first part.

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

After its first part leaves

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

then it will be struck and afflicted,

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

the the last part of it will be

00:29:08 --> 00:29:12

struck and afflicted by such a bala, such

00:29:12 --> 00:29:12

a tribulation,

00:29:15 --> 00:29:16

by by great tribulation

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

and by many things that it will dislike,

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

you know, many things that it will dislike.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

And the the I guess the primary meaning

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

of the first part of the, the ummah

00:29:26 --> 00:29:27

is

00:29:27 --> 00:29:29

the time of the,

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

the khulafa of Ashidun or at least the

00:29:31 --> 00:29:32

first khulafa

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

first 3 khulafa during which there was no

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

strife amongst the Muslims, The time of the

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in the time

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

of the first 3 Khalifa.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

But by extension, a person could say that

00:29:43 --> 00:29:45

the people who wrote these shulaha, the people

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

who wrote these

00:29:47 --> 00:29:50

commentaries when they said that they didn't see

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

the time that we're in right now

00:29:52 --> 00:29:53

because the pre modern time,

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

you know, something from from from, you know,

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

before World War 1, the landscape of the

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

Ummah is very different. It's very rare that

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

you're that you saw a person who would

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

leave Islam.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:07

Whereas nowadays the the problem of apostasy,

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

the Musiba and the affliction and calamity of

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

apostasy is something that hit hit almost every

00:30:12 --> 00:30:15

home. The worst of people were people who

00:30:15 --> 00:30:16

read their father and didn't read their sunnah,

00:30:17 --> 00:30:18

you know, but people were still by and

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

large Muslim. If a person felt the feeling

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

of apostasy, they kept it inside their heart

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

and they didn't share it with people. Nowadays,

00:30:24 --> 00:30:24

they're

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

celebrated by people and they're they're put up.

00:30:28 --> 00:30:30

But he says that the afiyah, the happiness

00:30:30 --> 00:30:32

and freedom from worry,

00:30:32 --> 00:30:35

of this ummah is what is in its

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

first part and whoever sees the the last

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

part of it they'll see that it will

00:30:40 --> 00:30:41

be hid with tribulation

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

and with such things that that that that

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

you that the people dislike

00:30:46 --> 00:30:47

dislike to see.

00:30:47 --> 00:30:50

And fitan will come to it and and

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

calamities will come to it.

00:30:52 --> 00:30:55

Every calamity that comes in order will make

00:30:55 --> 00:30:56

the one that came before

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

seem like something very small, not a really,

00:30:59 --> 00:31:00

really a big deal.

00:31:01 --> 00:31:04

And such fitna will come to it that

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

that a believer will say this is such

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

a bad fitna, this will destroy me,

00:31:10 --> 00:31:12

or this will destroy me. But then afterward,

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

it will when it's lifted, another,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

fitna will come, which will make people think

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

that the fitna that came before it was

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

not such a big deal. And then another

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

fitna will come and the believer will say

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

this one, this one is the worst one.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

And likewise, things will keep keep unraveling in

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

such a way. So who when that happens,

00:31:33 --> 00:31:33

the prophet

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

says, when that happens, the person who wishes

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

to

00:31:38 --> 00:31:38

be

00:31:39 --> 00:31:42

saved from the fire and put into Jannah.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

Right? The fact that the prophet mentions this

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

in the context of the fitan of the

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

world means that what? He's not primarily concerned

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

with the fitna of poverty or with the

00:31:50 --> 00:31:53

fitna of of physical or political strife.

00:31:53 --> 00:31:56

Rather, what is he primarily concerned with?

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

The fitna that affects your akhirah.

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

So he says that if because that's what

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

that's what the the what's that's what the

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

real fitna is. The real fitna is not

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

hunger and thirst in these things. The real

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

fitna is what afflicts your that will rob

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

you of eternal life. This is when these

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

fitna come, such fitna that threaten your

00:32:13 --> 00:32:14

the one who wishes to be saved from

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

the fire and to be placed in Jannah,

00:32:17 --> 00:32:18

let that person,

00:32:20 --> 00:32:21

let that person

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

come to his death or meet his death

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

in such a way that he believes in

00:32:26 --> 00:32:28

Allah and he believes in the last day.

00:32:29 --> 00:32:31

And this is a very simple statement that

00:32:31 --> 00:32:32

maybe someone may say it's like not it's

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

not rocket science or whatever. It's something I

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

knew from before.

00:32:36 --> 00:32:36

But,

00:32:36 --> 00:32:39

there is a a a a a a

00:32:39 --> 00:32:39

very

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

big effect and a mystery in words.

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

So let him come to his death,

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

right? The is is a a classical word.

00:32:54 --> 00:32:55

It's a word in classical Arabic. It's something

00:32:55 --> 00:32:58

that people modern Arabs very rarely use anymore,

00:32:58 --> 00:33:00

at least in their common speech. Right? Let

00:33:00 --> 00:33:02

his to come to him,

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

in such a way that he is he

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

believes in Allah and he believes in the

00:33:07 --> 00:33:09

day of judgment. And this is one of

00:33:09 --> 00:33:11

the tribulations that fit in at the time

00:33:11 --> 00:33:12

that we live and that we live,

00:33:13 --> 00:33:13

A person

00:33:14 --> 00:33:14

doesn't

00:33:15 --> 00:33:16

spend time

00:33:18 --> 00:33:20

learning anything about his deen.

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

Even though people will claim that I know

00:33:22 --> 00:33:24

something about my deen, they don't know anything

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

about their deen. Really this is the fact

00:33:26 --> 00:33:27

of the matter, the majority of people don't

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

know anything. People come to me and say,

00:33:29 --> 00:33:31

Shaykh, make an announcement about this, Shaykh, make

00:33:31 --> 00:33:33

an announcement about that. What am I going

00:33:33 --> 00:33:35

to do? Make like a 45 minute announcement,

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

you know, every day after every salat? It's

00:33:37 --> 00:33:40

nobody's gonna listen to it anyway. Someone says

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

to me, oh, Sheikh, someone was praying next

00:33:41 --> 00:33:44

to me. He came. Arabic for Maghrib, and

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

when the imam made salaam, he made salaam.

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

He doesn't know how to make up the

00:33:47 --> 00:33:48

prayer. So explain to the people how to

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

make up the prayer. Sheikh, people are yawning,

00:33:50 --> 00:33:53

they don't cover their mouth. Okay. Sheikh, somebody

00:33:53 --> 00:33:54

is reading from the must have during

00:33:55 --> 00:33:56

and when they go into Luku, he puts

00:33:56 --> 00:33:58

in the Mus'haf between his thighs,

00:33:59 --> 00:34:00

in order to hold it.

00:34:01 --> 00:34:03

If somebody sees someone doing that by the

00:34:03 --> 00:34:04

way next to him, please just say something

00:34:04 --> 00:34:06

to them. But the thing is, these are

00:34:06 --> 00:34:07

things this is all like stuff I've heard

00:34:07 --> 00:34:09

in the last 3 days. This is not

00:34:09 --> 00:34:11

like, I'm not like searching or reaching for

00:34:11 --> 00:34:12

a long shot here. Right?

00:34:13 --> 00:34:15

So people people people

00:34:15 --> 00:34:18

don't bother to put themselves in the company

00:34:18 --> 00:34:21

of of of of learning or the company

00:34:21 --> 00:34:22

of the zikr of Allah ta'ala.

00:34:23 --> 00:34:26

Instead of, you know, reading 8 rakas of

00:34:26 --> 00:34:29

tarawih, they read 4 and run away. And

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

then afterward, what happens? Some people say, well,

00:34:31 --> 00:34:33

Sheikh, I have, like, legitimate, things I have

00:34:33 --> 00:34:35

to do. I agree. We have legitimate. Everyone

00:34:35 --> 00:34:36

has to feed their family and then to

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

keep their job. Okay. Don't lose your job

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

for. It's fine. It's not far. But the

00:34:40 --> 00:34:43

thing is that you're going to your job

00:34:43 --> 00:34:43

for

00:34:44 --> 00:34:46

so many hours in the week and your

00:34:46 --> 00:34:50

spiritual engagement quality spiritual engagement is so little.

00:34:50 --> 00:34:53

And you went to school for

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

12 years of high school or, you know,

00:34:55 --> 00:34:57

the public school, you know, and then add

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

another 1 year for kindergarten, another year for,

00:35:00 --> 00:35:03

preschool. That's what? 14. Add another 4 years

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

for undergrad. We're up to 18 and other

00:35:05 --> 00:35:08

4 years for medical school. I granted that

00:35:08 --> 00:35:10

you went straight in from one to the

00:35:10 --> 00:35:11

other, so we're up to, what, 22.

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

And then your 2 years of residency on

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

top of that or 3 years of resident

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

25 years of education,

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

whereas a person cannot point to even 1

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

year of education in the dean. Person cannot

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

even point to 1 year full time studying

00:35:23 --> 00:35:23

the din.

00:35:24 --> 00:35:26

All of that aside from the the the

00:35:26 --> 00:35:27

like

00:35:27 --> 00:35:28

knowing information,

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

all of that from a completely psychological point

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

of view has a an effect on a

00:35:33 --> 00:35:33

person.

00:35:34 --> 00:35:36

All of that, all of those coming 8

00:35:36 --> 00:35:37

in the morning and leaving 5 at night

00:35:37 --> 00:35:40

without hearing the name of Allah, Hazrat Sallallahu

00:35:40 --> 00:35:40

Alaihi Wasallam.

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

Or if a person prays, they pray like,

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

you know, somebody somebody who's like fleeing the

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

Nazi army and the holocaust, like hiding somewhere

00:35:48 --> 00:35:49

and praying, you know, and, you know, in

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

in seclusion and hoping that nobody will open

00:35:51 --> 00:35:53

the door, nobody will see them washing their

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

feet in the sink or something like that.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

And that all of that adds up. It's

00:35:57 --> 00:35:59

puts rust on the heart of a person.

00:36:00 --> 00:36:02

It's sufficient for a person that they're not

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

making the dhikr of Allah other be counted

00:36:04 --> 00:36:05

as one of

00:36:06 --> 00:36:07

the. Right? It's not a sin not to

00:36:07 --> 00:36:09

make the of Allah in the sense that

00:36:09 --> 00:36:11

a person will have other things that they

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

do in the day. And there are very

00:36:12 --> 00:36:14

few people who are given the tawfiq of

00:36:14 --> 00:36:16

constantly having the their tawajah on Allah subhanahu

00:36:16 --> 00:36:17

wa ta'ala

00:36:17 --> 00:36:19

regardless whatever they're doing. But

00:36:20 --> 00:36:23

to expand that that amount of one's time

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

so much

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

and to compress the amount of time that

00:36:26 --> 00:36:28

a person remembers Allah so much, what does

00:36:28 --> 00:36:30

it do? It makes a person,

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

makes it normal for

00:36:32 --> 00:36:34

them, makes it normal for them that that

00:36:34 --> 00:36:35

that that,

00:36:35 --> 00:36:38

you know, that this heedlessness of kufr is

00:36:38 --> 00:36:40

something that they're accustomed to even if they

00:36:40 --> 00:36:40

don't embrace

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

it. You know, you know, as a as

00:36:43 --> 00:36:44

a as a matter of doctrine or as

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

a matter of creed. So for example, you

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

know, like, imagine a person dies. Okay?

00:36:50 --> 00:36:52

To a husband, wife died. They have a

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

child. Right? As a Muslim child. Who will

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

you want your child to be adopted by

00:36:56 --> 00:36:59

after they're dead? Gift or after after something

00:36:59 --> 00:37:01

happens. You would want the child to be

00:37:01 --> 00:37:02

adopted by a Muslim couple.

00:37:03 --> 00:37:04

Right? You wanna want that what if you

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

say, okay, I'm gonna have this child adopted

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

by a non Muslim couple. What is the

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

what is the issue? They say, okay, no.

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

We promise we'll tell them that they're Muslims

00:37:12 --> 00:37:13

or whatever. They can go to the mosque.

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

We'll take them to mosque on Friday.

00:37:15 --> 00:37:17

Still, what is the fear of the parents

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

heart would be that what? This they they'll

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

become accustomed to Kufr. Especially the if

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

a person adopts a child and is doing

00:37:24 --> 00:37:25

so much good for them and is there

00:37:25 --> 00:37:27

for them to help them every time they

00:37:27 --> 00:37:29

need help with their homework and, you know,

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

put a band aid on their wound band

00:37:30 --> 00:37:32

aid on their wound every time they cry

00:37:32 --> 00:37:34

and to, you know, be there them and

00:37:34 --> 00:37:37

whatever. Obviously, we'll make a with them between

00:37:37 --> 00:37:39

them and Kufr. You know, the same reason.

00:37:39 --> 00:37:40

We'll go well, how about this? We'll give

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

your child to a gay couple.

00:37:42 --> 00:37:43

What?

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

No. No. It's 2 men. They're married to

00:37:45 --> 00:37:46

each other. They love each other, and they're

00:37:46 --> 00:37:48

both Muslims as well. Okay.

00:37:49 --> 00:37:51

That doesn't really make a lot of sense,

00:37:51 --> 00:37:52

but why would you go what? It's gonna

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

become normal to them. Even if the child

00:37:55 --> 00:37:56

the thing is gonna become normal to them.

00:37:56 --> 00:37:59

They'll become completely desensitized to it. So that's

00:37:59 --> 00:38:00

what happened to us as well.

00:38:01 --> 00:38:03

And this fitna that's being described by the

00:38:03 --> 00:38:04

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is not a

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

fitna of it's not a fitna of,

00:38:07 --> 00:38:09

it's not a fitna primarily of the duniya.

00:38:10 --> 00:38:11

It is a fitna in the duniya as

00:38:11 --> 00:38:13

well, but it's primarily a fitna of what?

00:38:13 --> 00:38:15

A fitna of someone's akhirah, a a fitna

00:38:15 --> 00:38:16

of someone's deen.

00:38:16 --> 00:38:18

So what what should he do if he

00:38:18 --> 00:38:19

wishes to be taken away from the fire

00:38:19 --> 00:38:21

and he wishes to be entered into Jannah?

00:38:21 --> 00:38:23

Let him believe in Allah and in the

00:38:23 --> 00:38:25

last day. And so the part of the

00:38:25 --> 00:38:26

part of the the rust that comes on

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

the heart is the thought that, oh, maybe

00:38:28 --> 00:38:30

god doesn't exist. Maybe, you know, the material

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

world is all that there is to to

00:38:32 --> 00:38:34

this. And when the dean says to you,

00:38:34 --> 00:38:36

they're like, prefer others over yourself. This is

00:38:36 --> 00:38:38

just a tool for oppression

00:38:38 --> 00:38:40

that's being used because there's nothing after death.

00:38:40 --> 00:38:41

And if you get cheated on this side,

00:38:41 --> 00:38:43

you're not All these thoughts come into a

00:38:43 --> 00:38:45

person's mind, I promise you that our forefathers

00:38:45 --> 00:38:47

were not people who used to think this

00:38:47 --> 00:38:49

way. These are things that come into people's

00:38:49 --> 00:38:51

minds. Some people are strong enough to resist

00:38:51 --> 00:38:53

them and still stay in Islam. Many people

00:38:53 --> 00:38:55

many people, the apostasy of the people, this

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

Ummah,

00:38:57 --> 00:39:00

openly and secretly is something that that that's

00:39:00 --> 00:39:01

it's it's happening like a floodgate.

00:39:02 --> 00:39:04

Allah ta'ala protect us from it. It's happening

00:39:04 --> 00:39:06

like a floodgate, and it's something that that

00:39:06 --> 00:39:09

no one is, right now able to stop.

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

So when a person has these thoughts, what

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

is the the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:39:13 --> 00:39:14

the commandment of it. It's a hadith of

00:39:14 --> 00:39:17

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam when somebody

00:39:17 --> 00:39:18

has a thought come to him,

00:39:20 --> 00:39:21

of kufr or of disbelief.

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

Like a person thinks that shaitan comes to

00:39:24 --> 00:39:26

a person and says to him, who created

00:39:26 --> 00:39:28

the heavens and the earth? And they say,

00:39:28 --> 00:39:29

Allah. And then he comes to him and

00:39:29 --> 00:39:32

says, well, who created Allah? And so these

00:39:32 --> 00:39:32

types of thoughts,

00:39:33 --> 00:39:34

these are

00:39:34 --> 00:39:35

rational,

00:39:36 --> 00:39:36

rational,

00:39:38 --> 00:39:38

fallacies.

00:39:39 --> 00:39:41

Right? If, you know, if you actually study

00:39:41 --> 00:39:43

philosophy, you'll see that these types of questions

00:39:43 --> 00:39:45

are not legitimate questions, they're like the verbal

00:39:45 --> 00:39:48

equivalent of dividing by 0. Allah if you

00:39:48 --> 00:39:51

created time and space to think that someone

00:39:51 --> 00:39:52

is gonna create him as well as to

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

not understand what that means.

00:39:54 --> 00:39:55

You understand what I'm saying?

00:39:56 --> 00:39:57

If he created time and space, that means

00:39:57 --> 00:40:00

that the existence of Allah supersedes like order

00:40:00 --> 00:40:01

and sequence and things like that. So there's

00:40:01 --> 00:40:03

no there's no point in asking that question.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:05

It's a question like, you know, asking can

00:40:05 --> 00:40:07

God make a rock bigger than than than

00:40:07 --> 00:40:09

than he can carry? If you can, God

00:40:09 --> 00:40:10

do everything. If he can, can he make

00:40:10 --> 00:40:12

a rock bigger than he can carry? The

00:40:12 --> 00:40:15

question itself supposes that the premise that it's

00:40:15 --> 00:40:16

based on is not true.

00:40:16 --> 00:40:19

It's it's it's a it's something that that

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

that anyone who studies philosophy will know is

00:40:21 --> 00:40:23

is is is is it's incoherence.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:25

But the prophet

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

said to a person, because a person cannot

00:40:28 --> 00:40:29

every time they have a thought of kufr

00:40:29 --> 00:40:31

go through their head, they cannot

00:40:31 --> 00:40:34

go through this long philosophical process every time,

00:40:34 --> 00:40:36

again and again and again. In fact, often

00:40:36 --> 00:40:38

times the thought comes to you and you

00:40:38 --> 00:40:39

know it's wrong as well, but it's an

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

emotion, it's not a it's not a rational

00:40:41 --> 00:40:43

thought, it's an emotional thought. So when the

00:40:43 --> 00:40:45

emotional thought of kufr comes to a person,

00:40:45 --> 00:40:47

what should they say? The prophet says, when

00:40:47 --> 00:40:49

that happens to you, then say, I believe

00:40:49 --> 00:40:51

in Allah and I believe in his Rasool

00:40:51 --> 00:40:53

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:40:53 --> 00:40:54

I believe in Allah and I believe in

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

his Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So what does

00:40:56 --> 00:40:58

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam be informing

00:40:58 --> 00:41:01

reinforcing. So when this comes to you,

00:41:01 --> 00:41:03

know that if you want to be saved

00:41:03 --> 00:41:06

from the fire and entered into Jannah, then

00:41:06 --> 00:41:08

let your death come to you in such

00:41:08 --> 00:41:09

a way that you believe in Allah and

00:41:09 --> 00:41:10

you believe in the last day.

00:41:11 --> 00:41:12

And this is something that we should remind

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

ourselves

00:41:13 --> 00:41:14

over and over again.

00:41:15 --> 00:41:18

And let a person come to the people

00:41:18 --> 00:41:20

in a way that he would wish to

00:41:20 --> 00:41:21

be, come

00:41:24 --> 00:41:26

to. Let a person come to the people

00:41:26 --> 00:41:27

in a way that he would wish to

00:41:27 --> 00:41:29

be come to. Let a person transact with

00:41:29 --> 00:41:31

people in a way that he would wish

00:41:31 --> 00:41:33

to be transacted with. Let a person say

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

to people what he would be, how he

00:41:35 --> 00:41:37

would wish to be spoken to. In that

00:41:37 --> 00:41:39

time, this is what they call in the

00:41:39 --> 00:41:41

west. They call it the golden rule. Right?

00:41:41 --> 00:41:42

The golden rule.

00:41:42 --> 00:41:44

The the the the outward form of it

00:41:44 --> 00:41:46

is very similar to the golden rule,

00:41:47 --> 00:41:49

but, the reality or the philosophy behind it

00:41:49 --> 00:41:52

is very different. What's the golden rule? Do

00:41:52 --> 00:41:53

unto others as you would have done to

00:41:53 --> 00:41:54

yourself.

00:41:55 --> 00:41:57

Why is that the golden rule for people

00:41:57 --> 00:41:58

who are materialists?

00:41:59 --> 00:42:02

Because this way everybody can live happily in

00:42:02 --> 00:42:02

this world.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

If If you do something good to somebody

00:42:04 --> 00:42:06

else and they do something good to you,

00:42:06 --> 00:42:08

you'll all be happy. It's a solution for

00:42:08 --> 00:42:10

everybody, and then you'll die and it's done.

00:42:11 --> 00:42:12

And if someone does something to you that

00:42:12 --> 00:42:13

you wouldn't like them to do to you,

00:42:13 --> 00:42:15

the entire system breaks down and becomes chaos.

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

There's no point in and of itself to

00:42:18 --> 00:42:19

do to others what you would have done

00:42:19 --> 00:42:21

to mutual benefit. Whereas in the system of

00:42:22 --> 00:42:23

Islam, what is it? You do to others

00:42:23 --> 00:42:23

the what you would like for the what

00:42:23 --> 00:42:24

you would like for

00:42:24 --> 00:42:26

the what you would like for the what

00:42:26 --> 00:42:27

you would like for the what you would

00:42:27 --> 00:42:27

like for the what you would like for

00:42:27 --> 00:42:28

the what you would like for the You

00:42:28 --> 00:42:30

do to others the what you would like

00:42:30 --> 00:42:32

for the for, what you would like for

00:42:32 --> 00:42:34

them to do to you regardless of what

00:42:34 --> 00:42:36

they do back to you. Because the prophet

00:42:36 --> 00:42:38

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, what does he say?

00:42:40 --> 00:42:42

He says in another hadith that when the

00:42:42 --> 00:42:43

time of fitna comes,

00:42:44 --> 00:42:46

give other people their rights, but don't demand

00:42:46 --> 00:42:48

your rights from other people, rather ask for

00:42:48 --> 00:42:50

your rights of other people from Allah.

00:42:51 --> 00:42:53

Why? Because if you demand stand and demand

00:42:53 --> 00:42:54

your rights, okay, if you're gonna behave like

00:42:54 --> 00:42:56

this with me, I'm gonna behave like this

00:42:56 --> 00:42:58

with you. The entire system will will crumble,

00:42:59 --> 00:43:02

and and and your your your transaction is

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

not with them. Your transaction is with who?

00:43:04 --> 00:43:05

It's with Allah

00:43:05 --> 00:43:07

That's why we have so many places in

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

the Muslim world that our failed states are

00:43:09 --> 00:43:12

even stateless, where things still run because of

00:43:12 --> 00:43:14

the human decency of people. There are people

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

who do us right even though they've already

00:43:16 --> 00:43:18

written off any possibility of receiving any sort

00:43:18 --> 00:43:19

of,

00:43:19 --> 00:43:20

reciprocity

00:43:20 --> 00:43:21

from people.

00:43:21 --> 00:43:23

Why? Because they do it for the sake

00:43:23 --> 00:43:25

of Allah. So in that sense, it's very

00:43:25 --> 00:43:26

different than the western

00:43:26 --> 00:43:28

concept of the golden rule.

00:43:35 --> 00:43:36

And

00:43:36 --> 00:43:39

what's the first thing? Let them die and

00:43:39 --> 00:43:41

they, they believe in Allah on the last

00:43:41 --> 00:43:43

day. The second thing is let them go

00:43:43 --> 00:43:46

to behave with other people the way that

00:43:46 --> 00:43:47

they would like to be behaved with regardless

00:43:47 --> 00:43:50

of how other people behave with them. The

00:43:50 --> 00:43:51

third is whoever

00:43:51 --> 00:43:53

gives to a a temporal ruler. The word

00:43:53 --> 00:43:56

imam is here is used as in the

00:43:56 --> 00:43:58

meaning of the political meaning, meaning the the

00:43:58 --> 00:44:00

the head of the sovereign state, not the

00:44:00 --> 00:44:02

person who leads the salat in your masjid.

00:44:02 --> 00:44:04

Right? Whoever takes or takes an oath of

00:44:04 --> 00:44:05

allegiance from,

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

from from from a ruler

00:44:08 --> 00:44:10

and gives him the the merchandise of his

00:44:10 --> 00:44:13

hand and the fruit of his heart, meaning

00:44:13 --> 00:44:15

that person puts his hand forward in order

00:44:15 --> 00:44:15

to,

00:44:16 --> 00:44:18

in order to take the oath of fealty,

00:44:18 --> 00:44:20

and he also believes that this person is

00:44:20 --> 00:44:22

the legitimate ruler of the Muslims,

00:44:22 --> 00:44:24

let let him then afterward

00:44:25 --> 00:44:27

obey such a person as much as he's

00:44:27 --> 00:44:29

able to. And if another one comes then

00:44:29 --> 00:44:30

from the outside,

00:44:31 --> 00:44:31

and,

00:44:33 --> 00:44:35

and and and then starts to, make fitna

00:44:35 --> 00:44:38

and try to steal that leadership from that

00:44:38 --> 00:44:38

person,

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41

then fight against the the the the the

00:44:41 --> 00:44:43

mischief maker. Fight against the second one who

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

comes and tries to make mischief.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

It's a hadith narrated by,

00:44:50 --> 00:44:51

by Muslim.
