Hamzah Wald Maqbul
AI: Summary ©
The speaker discusses the platform for unity among believers in Islam, which is to be a platform for unity rather than race. The belief in the risala of the prophet Muhammad is the risala of the prophet's risala, and all of the beliefs that come with it are tied to our physical bodies and minds. The importance of knowing one's fate and not being an idiot is emphasized, as well as the use of the same language for political advertisements and deenism. The speaker also discusses the importance of not being a victim of deenism and offers some examples of the practices of giving people a price for begging Insurance and giving people a price for begging.

Islam and to imam and to his Mubarik

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

house on this Mubarik hour of this Mubarik

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

day. And we were not to be guided.

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

Was it not that Allah Ta'ala had guided

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

us?

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

Oh, Allah. To use praise as his commensurate

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

with the majesty of your countenance and the

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

greatness of your authority.

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

Oh, Allah. We do not limit you with

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

any praise we can come up with ourselves.

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

Rather, we admit

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

that you're the only one who knows the

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

true extent of your praise worthiness.

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

And may the peace and blessings of Allah

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

ta'ala be upon your servant and messenger.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

Our master, Sayyidina Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

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

May the peace and blessings of Allah Ta'ala

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

be upon him and upon his noble

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

companions and upon

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

his pure wives and upon his noble and

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

blessed family and progeny. And upon all of

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

those who follow all of their way until

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

the day of judgment.

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

Brothers and sisters,

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

Islam has a platform for unity.

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

That platform for unity is not race because

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

we're not all from the same race.

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

That platform is not fit

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

because we may follow different madahib.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

How would it be otherwise when even the

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

sahabah radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu used to have differences

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

amongst themselves?

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

This is not something a person should be

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

unnerved by.

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

Rather, this is a natural part of life.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

The platform for unity has nothing to do

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

with money.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

It's not language. Even amongst the companions of

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

there were those who were native speakers of

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

the Arabic language, and there was those who

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

were not native speakers of the Arabic language.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

And there are those who spoke one dialect,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

and there was there were those who spoke

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37

another dialect.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

The platform for unity amongst the believers in

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

Islam is what?

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

It's this tohid of la ilaha illallah

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

and the belief in the risala of the

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

prophet

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

Muhammad and all of those beliefs

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

that come with it. What we refer to

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

as Aqidah.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

Is one of the names for.

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

Why?

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

Because it is from the literary style of

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

the Arabs that they used to refer to

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

something by its most important part.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

So the word Diyam

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

means salat. Why? Because

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

the the longest part of the prayer is

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

what? The part that you spend standing.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

At least it is with those people who

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

enjoy reciting the Quran. Some of us do

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

it, you know, speed

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

speed, 2 rakas, speed 4 rakas, double, triple,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

quadruple, and out. That's not the salah for

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. There's an

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

utter narrated by Anas bin Malik

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

that he once saw, Umar bin Abdul Aziz,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

and he prayed behind him.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

And he said,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

how much? How much does the prayer of

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

this young man resemble the prayer of Rasulullah

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

He's the one at this time whose prayer

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

most resembles the prayer of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi

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

Wasallam. Who used to say the Tasbeeh. His

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

his his ruku was the same as the

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

standing after the ruku, which is the same

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

as the which is the same as the

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

sitting between the 2 sasdas. And in each

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

of them, we used to recite the Tasbi

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

ten times.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

It's a different prayer. That's and this is

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

not a fitah issue. We'll let you learn

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

these things from the Ahlullah, insha'Allah.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

The the the Arabs used to name something

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

and we do it as well by its

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

most important component.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

So for example, what is this?

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

This is a

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

phone. Even though I haven't made a phone

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

call in it, you know, except for maybe

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

once or twice in the 2 weeks I've

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

been in South Africa.

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

But I use it for other things. But

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

because the reason for it's being made was

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

that originally used to be a phone before

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

there's Internet and all of these other things.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

It's very intuitive to us that we call

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

it a phone. So this

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

is both what? The understanding, the oneness of

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

Allah Ta'ala

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

and also all of the Aqayat, all of

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

the beliefs that come with Islam. Those are

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

immutable.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

They don't change from time to time. They

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

don't change from place to place.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

You can follow whatever madhab you wish to

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

or follow no madhab at all.

00:03:57 --> 00:04:00

You can be black. You can be white.

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

You can be

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

purple. You can be pink. You can be

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

whatever color you want to. You can be

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

from a different planet.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

People don't know this. You know, our our

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

our elders, they talked about these things.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

Actually talked about life on other planets. What

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

will happen if there's life on another planet?

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

You go to Mars or, you know, you

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

go to Venus and you find that there's

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

an entire civilization. We're gonna tell them, do

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

you know do you know do you know

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

there's only one God?

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

You have you ever heard of Rasulullah, alayhis

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

salatu aslam? They'll come to they'll come to

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

Madinah in spacesuits. They'll breathe sulfuric acid and

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

they'll stand in front of the the the

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

the Roda Sharif of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

wasallam. And and and and tears of sulfuric

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

acid will come down their their their cheeks.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

If they didn't have a suit on, it

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

probably would have killed everybody standing around them.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

That's what our dean is. Why? Because the

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

Aqai transcends physical things.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

Spiritual realities

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

are far deeper and far more real than

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

physical things. Physical things come and go. The

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

nature of physical Allah

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

All physical things, all of them, they were

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

made to perish.

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

You and me. It's nothing personal. I'm not

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

trying to say something. All of us. This

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

is a weakness that we have. Our physical

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

bodies were made to perish.

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

Ideas don't go away. Spiritual things don't go

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

away. They stay forever in a pure form

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

that's unaffected by time, unaffected by space.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

So these are tied, these beliefs that we

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

have, these are what unify us. And this

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

is where we're going to draw our strength.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

And this is where we're going to make

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

meaning for ourselves, where we're going to make

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

meaning for our lives.

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

And

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

if a person wishes to look what's like

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

the first stop if a person wants to

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

formally study aqidah?

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

There's a book that was written in Egypt,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

around 300 years or so after

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam by one of the

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

great folkaha and muhaddi thein of the Ummay,

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

Imam Abu Jafar, Abu Dhabi rahimullah ta'ala. And

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

he was he was a a a genius,

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

and he wrote extensively

00:05:59 --> 00:05:59

on

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

many different

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

topics. He wrote one book. Most of his

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

books are for specialists. Nowadays, it's difficult even

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

in the Magyaras to find people who are

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

competent to read them anymore. But he wrote

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

one book for the public. It's a very

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

small book. It's actually, to be honest with

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

you, it could be a pamphlet. You could

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

print it out on one

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

page front and back.

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

But what was the service that he did

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

in that book was to teach the Muslims.

00:06:20 --> 00:06:22

These are those basic things we all agree

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

on. We don't agree on any of these

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

things. Let's make this the basis of our

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

transaction with one another as Muslims.

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

Whether you belong to 1 mad hub or

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

another, whether you have one point of view

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

or another, whether you're rich, whether you're poor,

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

whatever country you're from, whatever time you're you're

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

in, whatever age you are, whatever any of

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

these things are. Whether you're a pious person

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

or not,

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

Akhida is actually the part of Islam that's

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

shared between between a pious man and a

00:06:47 --> 00:06:47

drunkard,

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

between a pious man and a fornicator,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

between a pious man and a drug addict.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

The akhida is the same.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

The akhida is the same. And this you'll

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

see this in Muslim civilization. You'll see even

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

if you go to Istanbul, when the adhan

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

is called, the people who are drunk will

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

run and hide in the shadows.

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

They'll hide in the alleys

00:07:06 --> 00:07:09

out of shame. Why? Because it's the same

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

Allah to Allah for that person that it

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

is for for for a saint.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

This is one of the things I think

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

we forget sometimes that we try to monopolize

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

the Islam for one one group and not

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

for the other. That this Islam is even

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

for the sinners. It's the same Islam. This

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

belief, this aqid, this understanding of Allah to

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

Allah. That Allah to Allah is the same

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

Allah for everybody.

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

So this

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

I wanted to

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

just take a look at one one one

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

small aspect of it that I that that

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

I found benefit from, and I hope that

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

we all find benefit from. As was announced,

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

the topic of the talk was what? Wilayah.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

Now we know what wilayah means sainthood.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

We know Fulan is a wali of Allah.

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

We know this in a very folk sense.

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

What does of Allah mean? That means that

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

this is a person who is Allah's friends

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

with them. That person loves Allah and Allah

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

loves that person.

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

And that this person is a person of

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

an immense amount of piety. And these are

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

the people somehow we have an idea that

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

these are the people because of whom we

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

have deen.

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

These are the people who the dunya Allah

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

used the dunya to test them, and they

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

bested the dunya. They you know, like,

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

Busibi says about the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

sallam. Right? That the the mountains tested him

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, by by by by

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

offering to be gold for

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

him. And,

00:08:24 --> 00:08:25

he's the one who

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

showed them who the real mountain is.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

And how could the dunya tempt the one?

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

If it wasn't for him, the dunya wouldn't

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

have been created in the first place.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

Actually, someone came to Alama Alutaimia and said,

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

isn't this some sort of excess to say

00:08:39 --> 00:08:40

that if it wasn't for the prophet sallallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam, Allah Ta'ala wouldn't have created

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

the dunya? He himself said, no. Don't you

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

see in the book of Allah Ta'ala?

00:08:47 --> 00:08:48

Don't you see in the book of Allah

00:08:48 --> 00:08:49

Ta'ala that Allah says,

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

Don't you see that Allah ta'ala said in

00:08:53 --> 00:08:54

his book that I did not create the

00:08:54 --> 00:08:57

mankind or the jinn except for to worship

00:08:57 --> 00:08:57

me?

00:08:59 --> 00:09:01

Do you see the perfection of the worship

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

of Allah ta'ala in anyone other than the

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?

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

So these are the things that we associate

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

with wilayah. And indeed, this is the wilayah

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

of Allah ta'ala. This is the most beautiful

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

form, the most perfected form of wilayah.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

But very few people have actually taken a

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

look at what wilayah means. Not in the

00:09:22 --> 00:09:23

folk sense

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

of telling stories, but in the Aqidah of

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

the Muslims.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

Did you know the how he actually mentions

00:09:28 --> 00:09:29

as well?

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

He mentioned sainthood in his in his in

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

his small book, abbreviated book, which is not

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

a Bayan.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

It's not a it's not a rhetorical flourish

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

that's meant to impress people. Rather, it's nothing

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

more than a a decisive text which

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

maps out the beliefs of the Muslims that

00:09:47 --> 00:09:48

we all share, that we all must share,

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

that there's no there's no choice in whether

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

you accept it or not. There's no difference

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

of opinion in those things.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

So he says, this is with Muslime al

00:09:56 --> 00:09:56

Abdullah

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

ibn

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

So we say there's a term in the

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

in the,

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

there's a term in the

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

Aqidah what what we call a little qiblah,

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

which literally translates as the people of the

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

qiblah.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

But it doesn't mean facing a qiblah.

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

It means those people who meet a bare

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

minimum definition of Islam.

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

So facing the qibla is like a metaphor

00:10:26 --> 00:10:29

for, like, the person who's like, okay. You

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

know, they're not facing like Tokyo when they

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

pray or they're not facing,

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

Jerusalem when they pray or whatever.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:36

They're facing where?

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

The tibla of the Muslims. The ahu tiblah,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

but it doesn't mean that they can face

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

the qiblah and say and do whatever they

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

want. Rather means what? Whoever meets a bare

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

minimum definition of a Muslim that they say,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

whatever is in the Quran is true

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

and whatever the prophet said is true, even

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

though I may not know what all of

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

those things are and all of are in

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

that position.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

So we say what? The Ahlul Qibla is

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

not only a bare minimum definition of Muslims

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

in

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

Muslim in terms of belief, but it also

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

is the bare minimum definition of Muslims

00:11:04 --> 00:11:05

in terms of

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

practice.

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

So it includes sinners as well.

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

It includes people who openly sin, people who

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

cannot let go of sin. Allah to argue

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

all of us the tawfiq of letting go

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

of sin before we leave this life.

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

But you're still part of the Ahlul Qibla.

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

This is the broadest circle of what we

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

would consider a Muslim.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

And then what does the Atahawi Rahimu Allah

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

Ta'ala say

00:11:27 --> 00:11:28

in,

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

in another place?

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

He says that so it's not permissible, by

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

the way. So the point that we extract

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

from this is not permissible to call somebody

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

a munafaq

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

just because of their sins. Because people have

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

weaknesses,

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

but their weakness doesn't mean that they don't

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

believe in Allah Ta'ala. It just means that

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

they're not good at controlling their own nafs.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

So the highway says in another place, he

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

says what? He says that he says that

00:11:53 --> 00:11:53

that

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

whoever dies from amongst the Muslims,

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

we consider them to be believers. We consider

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

them to be believers. We consider that they

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

are people of what? That the definition of

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

oliya is what? It's a person who believes

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

in Allah to Allah, and whoever dies from

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

amongst the Muslims, we consider them to be

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

believers.

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

Now this is radically different than what people

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

think. It's radically different than what people think.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

Because if you say, Fulan is a drunkard.

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

Yes, we say he's a Muslim. But how

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

can you say he's a wily of Allah?

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

It's true that that person is a wily

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

of Allah.

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

There's a wily of Allah. There's a wily

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

of Allah. That person is at the bottom,

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

the the ground floor of Allah sainthood,

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

and there's

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

levels above it.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

But everyone who says

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

believes in it and doesn't disbelieve in some

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

part of it. That person is what?

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

That person, according to the aqidah of the

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

Muslims, is what?

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

Now what's the justification for this?

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

There's justification for this. Don't you know the

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

these are not by the way, you don't

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

need to be an to look these things

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

up. You can go find these in the

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

in

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

fact.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

It's probably dozens of copies sitting in the

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

in the masjid, and the book is probably

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

taught once, twice, 3 times a week in

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

the masjid, and nobody even bothers to listen.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11

Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said that on

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

the day of judgment, a man will have

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

he'll be being judged,

00:13:15 --> 00:13:16

and he will have

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20

sins written on 99 scrolls. 1 unfurl.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

Go as far as the eye can see.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

Some of our brothers and sisters have somewhat

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

of a literalist bent.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

Right? So for them, I say that your

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

eye can literally see other galaxies

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

light years away. That's a lot of sins.

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

That's what? It's a lot of sins.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

That person will have in one scale pound

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

these 99 scrolls worth of sins.

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

And then in the scale pound of good

00:13:45 --> 00:13:46

deeds, the angels will

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

will come and they'll bring, literally, the word

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

uses

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

for those of you who've lived in the

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

Arab world before. It's the same word that's

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

used for, like, a business card or a

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

driver's license in the modern language.

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

But there'll be a little bitaka on which

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

is written.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:05

And it will be dropped in the other

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

scale pan, and it will outweigh all of

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

those. The all all of those things. It

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

will outweigh all of them.

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

Now

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

what does that mean?

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

There's a hadith again, you'll find it in

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

the rial de Salihim. You don't have to

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

look in the in the big books that

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

you have to sit in the maslid at

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

the madrasa and, like, study 7 years in

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

order to get to.

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

That Allah Ta'ala himself says, oh son of

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

Adam,

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

even if the mischief that you make

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

will will will fill the horizons.

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

There are some people, they make mischief that

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

fills the horizons. Allah, I'll protect us from

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

the

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

mischief. Even if the mischief that you make

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

fills all of the horizons,

00:14:48 --> 00:14:49

you turn in repentance to me.

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

Right? And what is the superlative of repentance

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

is to say,

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

And I will forgive all of those sins.

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

Not only will I forgive them, it doesn't

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

bother me one bit. It doesn't bother me

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

one bit. What does this mean?

00:15:07 --> 00:15:08

Even further,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

there's a hadith in Chilmidi

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

in which say that Jibril Alaihi Salam says

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

to the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasalam.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

What does he say?

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

He says, yeah, Muhammad. If you had seen

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

me, alaikas salaatoaslam. If you had seen me

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

on the on the day that the sea

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

parted in front of Sayed Musa, alaihis salam,

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

I came to Firaun in the form of

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

Haman, in the form of his chief general.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:35

And

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

I said to him, how can you let

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

these people get away? Let's go in after

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

them. Farhan is not I mean, Farhan is

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

maybe in a grand scale. He's not an

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

intelligent person, but, like, cleverness between you and

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

I, he knows this is Allah to Allah

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

made this happen. He's not an idiot that

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

he's going to go right into the sea.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

So I'm not going in there.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

Do you see what's happening? I'm not going

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

in there.

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

And so,

00:15:59 --> 00:15:59

say that Jibril,

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

he he says, I I I took my,

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

stick and hit his horse. And the horse

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

rode into the water, and the Egyptian army

00:16:07 --> 00:16:09

then followed him.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

And when the last of his army run

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

into the sea,

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

and the

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

first, or sorry. Sorry. When the last his

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

army went into the sea and the last

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

of comes

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

out. Then the order

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

of the came down, and the two sides

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

of the sea crashed in on them.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

Jibril alaihis salam told the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

wasallam,

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

he said, I was filling his mouth with

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

water. I was filling his mouth with water

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

out of fear

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

out of fear. That even though we knew

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

it's his fate that he's gonna die and

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

kufr Allah Allah will send in the jahannan

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

forever. Out of fear that what? That he

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

will say this

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

and allata will the mercy of allata will

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

overwhelm all of those things in that moment.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

Do you understand what that means?

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

Do you understand what that means? That means

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

that when a person says

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

to you and me it may not mean

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

much. But to Allah it means a lot.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

Allah Ta'ala will give a person

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

beauty

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

and he may still hate them.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

Allah ta'ala will give a person money and

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

he still may hate them. That person may

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

own their own house or own a great

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

deal of property, and he still may hate

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

them.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

Allah to Allah may give a person a

00:17:21 --> 00:17:24

BMW or an Audi or a Mercedes or

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

any of these cars, and he still may

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

hate them.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

But this is La ilaha illallah.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

If Allah gives it to a person,

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

that means what? That means Allah loves them.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

If you don't love them, if I don't

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

love them, that's our problem. And it's a

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

big problem we're going to have to continue

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

with on the day of judgment.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

Allah says in hadith Qudsi,

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

narrated but no less by Bukhari.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

The opening line of which is

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

Whoever makes an enemy of a wali of

00:17:58 --> 00:17:58

mine,

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

I declare war on that person.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

What are you going to do the day

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

the angels bring you a sword and say

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

you declared you made an enemy out of

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

1 of Allah Ta'az ul Dia? Here's go

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

fight now. Go fight fight with your rab.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

What are you gonna do?

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

What am I gonna do on that day?

00:18:13 --> 00:18:14

But the fact of the matter is when

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

we look at each other,

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

he said, oh, this person. Oh, that person.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

A person because of their their,

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

poverty,

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

because of their material poverty, you're going to

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

treat them badly even though Allah loves that

00:18:28 --> 00:18:28

person.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

Because you different disagree with them about some

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

fiqi issue or some some interpretation

00:18:34 --> 00:18:34

of deen,

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

even if they're wrong

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

even if they're wrong,

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

you're gonna treat them like garbage knowing Allah

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

Ta'ala would not give that person

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

except for it's because he loves them?

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

What kind of Islam is that?

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

This brothers and sisters is one of the

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

foundational understandings of Deen. This is one of

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

the foundational understandings of Deen. Don't you know

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

sayna Abdul Abin Ammar radiAllahu anhu, one of

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

the one of the the canonical transmitters of

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

the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

sallam, one of the great scholars of the

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

Sahaba radiAllahu anhu. Once he was making tawafar

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

on the Kaaba,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

and he's Madani. They see the Kaaba very,

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

very rarely

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

like we do. Maybe some of us go

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

frequently. Most of us don't get an opportunity

00:19:16 --> 00:19:17

to go every day.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

And he sees the Kaaba, and he says

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

how great you are and how noble you

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

are and how how how much honor you

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

have in the eyes of Allah ta'ala. And

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

I swear an oath that the the the

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

blood of of of the least of the

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

Muslims is more honored in the eyes of

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

Allah ta'ala than you.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

What is he saying that just to sound

00:19:34 --> 00:19:36

cool so he can, like, get, like, the

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

retweets and repost on Facebook and Twitter and

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

all these things?

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

Those were people who those those were people

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

who feared Allah ta'ala.

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

Those were the people that when the Ayat

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

were read, they used to tremble with fear.

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

Those are the people who who who took

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

the Quran directly from the messenger of Allah

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

What does that mean? That idea is completely

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

lost on the ummah now,

00:19:59 --> 00:20:02

and we suffer for it. And the suffering,

00:20:02 --> 00:20:03

you know, a person's like, yeah. You know,

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

the ummah is disunited. We're not powerful. We're

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

not just Forget about this dunya.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

Even if we were united and we're all

00:20:10 --> 00:20:12

powerful and we're all rich, forget about this

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

dunya. It will end. It was made to

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

end one day.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

You know where we're gonna suffer for that?

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

The day we're gonna suffer for that is

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

the day of judgment. It's a day that

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

starts. It never ends.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

We should fear Allah to Allah with regards

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

to one another, and the good news is

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

what?

00:20:27 --> 00:20:27

Right.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

Hadith the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Again,

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

I saw a hadith. You can find it

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

in the in the in the common collections

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

of hadith like the

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

real the salihim

00:20:42 --> 00:20:43

that the one who loves for the sake

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

of Allah and the one who hates for

00:20:45 --> 00:20:46

the sake of Allah. No one who gives

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

for a sake of Allah, no one who

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

withholds for the sake of Allah, That person

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

has perfected their iman. The good news is

00:20:52 --> 00:20:53

what? Because I said, okay, we can't treat

00:20:53 --> 00:20:54

each other badly.

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56

The good news is what? Just like treating

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

another person of

00:20:58 --> 00:21:00

bad news of great sin, and it could

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

result in very serious problems on the day

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

of judgment.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

Treating a person of iman good, because there's

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

a positive side of the coin as well

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

is one of the greatest acts of piety

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

that a person can do. The one who

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

cannot reach the Kaaba, his two hands and

00:21:14 --> 00:21:17

four arms. And Sadar and his cheek cannot

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

lay against the Mu'tazim to ask Allah to

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

Allah. Go lay your hands and lay your

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

cheek against the cheek of your brother. Lay

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

your chest against the chest of your brother.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

Say a good word to him.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

Sisters, say a good word to your sisters.

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

You know, give somebody something. Somebody is asking

00:21:33 --> 00:21:34

for

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

something, give to them.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

Right? This is something in in in Protestant

00:21:38 --> 00:21:38

Europe,

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

you know, these are stock and pillory people

00:21:41 --> 00:21:42

for begging. And it's haram to beg if

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

you don't need to. It's a sin. And

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

one of the punishments of it is that

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

Allah will open the door of poverty on

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

you for doing so. But we don't judge

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

other people. Maybe some people are begging. They

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

have no choice. That's permissible. Survival is permissible.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

Not only is it permissible, it's far that's

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

wajib on everybody to survive,

00:21:57 --> 00:21:58

as much as you can.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

You see that person ask,

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

This is the sunnah of this is the

00:22:02 --> 00:22:03

sunnah of the Calvinist,

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

that you stock and pillory and beat those

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

people and say ill to them. As for

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

this deen, Allah ta'ala, from the first revelation

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

he gave to the messenger of Allah, sallallahu

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

alaihi wa sallam.

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

As for the one who's asking, don't be

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

rude to them. Don't cut them down. Don't

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

hack them down. Don't give them a ugly

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

face or an ugly word. If you can't

00:22:24 --> 00:22:25

give or you don't want to give, that's

00:22:25 --> 00:22:28

your that's your choice. But remember remember,

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

this is this person is a Wale of

00:22:30 --> 00:22:33

Allah. Even if nothing about them makes you

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

think that they're they're a person of any

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

worth. But Allah gave them that

00:22:37 --> 00:22:39

means with Allah to a'lim's knowledge outstrips your

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

knowledge and my knowledge. That person is a

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

person of worth.

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

Give that person, you know, like, 5 rands.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

And and at that time, don't look at

00:22:46 --> 00:22:47

the person.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:50

Remember that, after barakwa ta'ala say, you Allah,

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

I give I give this this, I give

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

this person love for your love.

00:22:55 --> 00:22:56

Just like that person. Imagine the person if

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

you were if you were to if you

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

were to attack that person, Allah would declare

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

war on you.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

Imagine if you gave to that person, and

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

Allah declared love on you.

00:23:06 --> 00:23:07

This is better than Eid Mubarak. This is

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

better than Jumahan Laylatul Kader all of it

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

put together.

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

A person does this one time in their

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

life, they forget about

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

it. It will be the best day of

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

their life. They'll say, I didn't think it

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

was a big deal. This was a big

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

deal. And imagine the person what their Maqam

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

is with Allah to Allah if they did

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

this everyday,

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

day in and day out. What what what

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

what end would that person have with Allah

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? This is the practice of

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

our aslaf. This is the practice of the

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

Sahaba radiallahu anun tabi'in tabi'in tabi'in.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

This is the practice of our forefathers. And

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

this is how those people who reached that

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

last level of hulia. This is how they

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

reached it. By understanding and appreciating what the

00:23:43 --> 00:23:46

first level of is. Because if you don't

00:23:46 --> 00:23:47

show worth to other people who have it,

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

how can you have any worth it yourselves?

00:23:49 --> 00:23:50

Or how can I have any worth it

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

myself? Allah that I give us tofid Allah

00:23:53 --> 00:23:56

replace whatever hatred or, anger we have for

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

one another.

00:23:57 --> 00:24:00

Justified or not. And maybe even justified. Allah

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

replace it with love. Allah replace it with

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

with such a love that we use that

00:24:04 --> 00:24:05

love one day to

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

earn the love of Allah to Allah and

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

have a maqam with his oliya forever and

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

ever. Allah to Allah give all of us

00:24:10 --> 00:24:11

so much.
