			Hello brother and sister in Islam, I'm your brother in Islam
		
00:00:19 --> 00:01:13
			hussaini elecard in Malaysia, in the hamdulillah nama who wanna start who want to stick a few
announcements we lemon Cerulean fusina Jose Molina De La La La La La MaMa youth little fella ha de
la shadow Allah in the in the MA wahoo la sharika. Why shadow Mohammed Abdullah, who were a Zulu
abajo May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless us, Shadow His mercy upon us and forgive all our sins. Today
inshallah we are going to share with you a topic that is important for all Muslims, is about Islam,
the means understood religion, Islam, is a religion that belongs to Allah because Allah says it in
Edina and Omar al Islam. Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. Islam does not belong
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:23
			to me doesn't belong to you. Now this is the first thing that we must understand. Number one, what
is Islam? The meaning of Islam
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:34
			is total submission to Almighty Allah. Number one, number two, Islam means peace.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			And number three, Islam means security.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:02:07
			That means if anybody accept Islam, his life is secure here in dunya. And also will be secure in
akhira. mean the security that Islam provide us is not only for dunya, but also for Al Qaeda. That
means for here after, now, after we understand that Islam is a religion belong to Allah, why there
is so many people outside
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:30
			is always having negative feeling and thoughts about Islam, because they don't understand what Islam
and I don't blame them. Because we as Muslim, or so called born Muslim don't even understand Islam.
Now you must remember, Islam doesn't belong to you or me, it belongs to Allah.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:40
			Meaning is important for every one of us to differentiate Islam
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:51
			and Muslim, I am a Muslim. Every brother and sisters are watching this. You are a Muslim, Muslim, we
accept Islam.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:59
			Not Islam. Follow us. We follow Islam. There's a lot of difference between the people and the
teaching.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:19
			When people say anything negative about the Muslim, we just got to bear it. We got to listen,
because what they say maybe correct, maybe true, because we are not perfect. Sometimes we show a bad
example. But if anybody's criticize Islam, we cannot just keep quiet.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:04:10
			Because Islam is the perfect religion of Allah. There is nothing wrong with Islam. If there is
something wrong is the Muslim. Yeah, is to be blamed not Islam. So don't let anybody Miss interpret
Islam and Muslim. You can say to anybody who who condemned Muslims may be Muslim at the bat, and
they are good. But don't allow anybody to criticize Islam. And I became a Muslim. The same thing my
family, they don't understand Islam yet. The same goes to me. I don't understand Islam, though.
Because I'm new to Islam. But I'm very blessed that Allah give me hidayah that I do not come to
Islam, because of the people because of the Muslim, none of the Muslim communities now, but a lucky
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:18
			me he died to come to Islam. True, my little initiative to look for the truth.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:33
			If I become a Muslim, because of the people, I may just leave Islam because the people that are the
Muslim sometimes show very, very bad example. But I got to admit that in a Muslim you must be true
to yourself and true to others.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			But when people criticize Islam, I will never allow that.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:05:00
			Because as a brother, sister, I mean to the people who are Muslim, even say the Muslim is bad. I can
agree with you. No big deal. But if you want to criticize Islam as a no I won't allow you to do so.
Have you understand Islam? Have you read the Quran? Have you read the saying of the Prophet? If you
read the Quran, you will never
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			precess Islam
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:09
			so now you must understand between Islam and Muslim so you don't call yourself I am Islam No.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:23
			You cannot say I am Islam you say I am a Muslim, what color in any Muslim correct? You say I am
Islam you are wrong. Islam belong to Allah is a religion you, you are just a follower.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:44
			That is number one. Number two is very important for us to differentiate between race and religion.
Sometimes it becomes so complicated, something a lot of people who don't understand Islam, they
always relate Islam with the Arabs. This is also wrong.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:00
			In my country, maybe they will relate Islam with Malay also is not correct. Or maybe in India,
Pakistan, you relate Islam with the Indian or late Islam with the turkeys you Turkey. And you read
Islam with the
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			Pakistani is not
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			a race is a race.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:33
			Allah is the one who create all races. He is it was a Anakin shoe oboe wakaba Allah is Allah who
make this into a nation and tribe. So all nation belong to Allah. Whether you are Chinese or Indian,
whether you're white or colored, all of us came from one God, Allah subhanho wa Taala. So you must
remember the history
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:53
			before Islam, Arabs, they are pagans, they are mostly kin. They worship idols. Now the Arab, they
become Muslim. They become Muslim, they enter to Islam. That is correct. Malay and Islam. That is
correct.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:28
			Indian enter Islam that is correct. Chinese enter Islam that is correct. But don't make Islam become
an Arab religion. That is wrong. Don't make Islam like a Malay religion that is wrong. Or Indian or
Pakistani or Turkish, not. Because Islam belongs to Allah, we can follow Islam, Islam don't follow
us. So you must make sure you understand the difference between number one, Islam and Muslim number
two, between race and religion.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:34
			Because we are confused, when we are confused, you make other people confused.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:41
			I know being a Muslim, I have been a Muslim for more than 30 years already.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			I know how confused sometime the people who are not yet Muslim.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:54
			But it's our duty to make them understand. If you don't make it under understand, then you don't
blame them
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			when they have negative thoughts to Islam, but you are to be blamed.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:14
			That's why we are here to remind each other the Miss under stood religion on Islam is because we do
not present Islam correctly. And because of our culture again,
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			make people more confused.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:36
			There are people may think that when you become a Muslim, you must dress like the Arab. No, the
prophet Nelson, you should dress like me. The Prophet said just cover your aura. How you want to
cover your aura. It's up to you. As long as you cover you are
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:48
			beautiful Islam is open for everybody can a Chinese become a Muslim? and grasp Chinese dress?
Chinese costume? Why not as long as COVID era?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:01
			Can an Indian who become a Muslim? keep his tradition and dress like the Indian costume as long as
there's nothing wrong with the material is how you cover yourself.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:11
			If you say Oh to be a good one same, you must dress like the era of Buddha Buddha also dress like
them. Why is it different?
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:28
			What is important is not how you dress. But is You must come away or give another example. When a
person become a Muslim. Do you think that he must only eat with his bare hand?
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:44
			Yeah, the prophet said it is your right hand. The Prophet never say you must eat with your bare
hand. You can use chopsticks. You cannot use spoon or smoke No. As long as you're right. The
prophesy lotta colobus shimma
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:56
			shimma don't eat don't drink with your left. But with your right for English shake Tanya kuwayama
Mishima, Becca shaitan. Eat and drink with the left hand.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			As long as you use the right there's no pressure
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			But there are times people, I encounter people who say that if you eat with chopsticks, that mean
you are a co founder.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			Now, how can we say that?
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:36
			Because Chinese and Indian or Malay or Arab or Allah's creation, amongst women, it was the left
alsina Tico. Anwar niku with a sign of Allah subhanho wa Taala. He said, I met you speak different
language, and different color,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:42
			all the color, the different culture, the different length is allows creation. Amongst it.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:27
			He never said that, when you become Muslim, you cannot speak English you can speak them or you
cannot speak Chinese is a language that Allah create only when you pray to Allah in Salah. What,
then allow one year to talk to him in the language that he chose, that is in Arabic, but other
language still belong to Allah subhanho wa Taala. The same go to any culture that do not contradict
Islam, is been accepted by Islam as Islamic culture not only must follow the Arabic culture only
Islamic No, even the Arabic culture it contradict, you must stay away. There's one time in the Arabs
tradition. They if they got a baby girl, they prefer the birth the baby girl alive, but that there
		
00:11:27 --> 00:12:09
			is the custom, the custom cannot be applied anymore. There is an Islamic by any culture that do not
contribute. You're welcome to show us how beautiful Islam is. Islam cater for everybody. Islamic
culture is multi culture because it's for everybody. We cannot say that Oh, you must follow the
Indian way, the Pakistani way, believe it or not, you follow the way of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And
also one ad that people always miss understood Islam. When we talk about Islamic law example. People
used to relate to this is Mohammedan law. No.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:29
			Please never say the Islamic law is Mohammedan law. Because he will sit Mohammedan law that means
you are talking about that the Divine Law is something that Prophet Muhammad, who created it from
Allah, the law is not belong to Allah is a divine law, not man made law.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:13:01
			That's why we are so different compared with other laws, because other law keep on changing because
it's not divine. It belongs the human human is the one who come up with this regulation and ruled by
Islamic law. It belonged to Allah from day one, from the time of the Prophet until today until the
future, until the day of judgment, the law of Allah will never change and don't favor anybody. It
applies to everybody. And nobody is above law in Islam.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:13
			Even the Prophet family, he said to Fatima, or the Allahu Allah, or my daughter, if you break any
rule in Islam, our act accordingly.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:49
			If you steal example, out of your hand, the law applies to everybody. You don't have just kind of
law in this world today. And there's no law that can protect us. And that can give us security
except the Divine Law. When you implement the Divine Law, you will feel so secure and so safe. I
give you a little example. Maybe all of us have been to the Middle East, especially to Makkah and
Medina, these two sacred Holy Land of the Muslim.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:32
			If you are that you will witness when the traders when they people who have their goods being sold.
When a prayer of time, or the time prayer comes in, they just take a piece of cloth and cover it.
They don't have to close the shop totally and lock up like what we always do in our own country. We
fear so many things in our country. Why? Because we don't follow the Divine Law. We don't feel
secure, even we put all the alarm we lock this lock here and there still we feel not safe. You never
see that people still any car in the Middle East, especially in my comedy den. So everybody walk
with peace.
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:59
			Anybody can just slip somewhere with peace because the Divine Law protect you. And the divine law
will give you security. Now if anybody said Islamic law is Mohammedan law that is wrong. Prophet
Muhammad is the last messenger of Allah. his duty is to to convey the message of Allah to mankind to
tell people to do and the dawn
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:10
			And the Islamic law is not just for Muslim fellow brothers and sisters, even we think that Islamic
law only for us again we are wrong. Why?
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:26
			There's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran shaeffer Ramadan, Zilla Quran, leanness, Eva
Bina demeanor Hooda, one Furqan. When you talk about Islamic law, you are talking about what is
stated in the Quran.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:48
			Not in any other books. But in the book of Allah, the do's and don'ts. Everything is in the book of
Allah when you talk about Islamic law and allowance it in the month of Ramadan that just passed us
is a man that Allah revealed the revelation or an for who for me only
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:56
			for the Arabs only know Allah say, who the Lena, for all mankind.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:05
			For you and me, I am a Muslim is for me, people who are not yet Muslim, they are also welcome to
follow the law.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			I give you another example. We
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:27
			example in my country, we are Malaysian. We have been colonized by the British, the British have
left us we have our independence. But the Chinese the Malay the Indian in our country is falling
host law. They are following the British law.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:37
			It's not our law, but we can follow Why? Because we are used to it. We have been educated in that
way.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:47
			Now Islamic law also is applied for everybody. It's not only for me for everybody, when people
understand what is Islamic law.
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:01
			They will never never say the Islamic law is not practical, is not fair. They will find pure justice
in the Islamic law. But it is so sad
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:08
			to say that a lot of Muslims are not prepared to accept even the Islamic law.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:40
			But I would like to call once again and remind myself when you talk about Islamic law. Don't be
confused. And don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about the government know the Islamic law start
from yourself. He didn't start from the authority No. Is that from yours? How do they Islamic law
been implemented in the time of Prophet? He didn't start with a country? Is that from every
individual? If you have problem? How do you solve your problem?
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:59
			Maybe you go to somebody and ask for advice. You go to the court? Have you asked Allah and prophet
to solve your problem? Have you ever when you encounter any problem, you come to a vet to Allah open
the book of Allah? And look at the way the Prophet has shown us how to solve your problem? No.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:18
			So how can you blame anybody? Then yourself? I always remind myself the Ayat of Allah that Allah
Azza wa mala Mia Bhima and Rama alayka human coffee run like a human zali men follow a common
fallacy called
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			Who am I whoever do not
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:40
			follow the Islamic law. Then he is a kafir he is a wrongdoers. He is a Pharisee this obedient. These
do not apply only to the authority he applied to every individual. It applies to you apply to me.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:56
			That's what Allah says in Tana, fishy ferodo illallah wa Sula. If you have any dispute, this
agreement in any meta
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			fee, in any method,
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:11
			refer back to the book of Allah and the teacher and the prophet to solve your problem. Now, how many
of us, obey the commands of Allah? Now? What is it again, don't
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:27
			be confused. And don't think that I am saying that, oh, we must reinforce No, you reinforce within
yourself. When you have any of those domestic problems with your wife, or your husband, how do you
solve your problem?
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:41
			Do you solve your problem? Is it I think I'm right and the house was? I think I'm right. Then the
husband will use his veto. The man is always right. Is it boss is always right. Who's his boss is
always right.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:46
			Along they will say that we see that. Who is always right is Allah.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			Fully Allah, nobody will go wrong.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:20:00
			We follow Allah that means I'm not fooling anybody, both party humbleness and follow Allah. That is
why Allah subhanho wa Taala free
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			Mine is by saying, yeah you hola Xena Amano la
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:11
			vida de la hora su de la. in Omaha Semyon Ali,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:23
			are you who claim that you believe in Allah, we claim that we believe in Allah. Allah do not first
false force us to believe in, but we say I believe in Allah Alhamdulillah.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:40
			And Allah say last demo, that mean you are not supposed to put the saying of anybody the opinion of
anybody hit of a last word, and the saying of Prophet Muhammad Salah you cannot do that.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:27
			Meaning, if you believe in Allah, the creator, the all knowing the all seeing, then you should go
back to him first. Once you go back to other people, why must you entertain the opinion of somebody
to solve your problem? Why not you go back to our ask Allah to help you by following what Allah say
in the Quran, then you are not fooling anybody. You don't have to feel bad. Oh, I always lose to my
husband. Oh, my husband said, No, I always lose to my wife, then people will sit there I'm under the
Queen control No, both party must humble themselves, and put a last word and the stitching on the
profit in front of us. That's what allows it lead to demo. Bayonetta. Hitler, he was never never put
		
00:21:27 --> 00:22:00
			any opinion anything of anybody, a hit from the saying of Allah, and the teaching of Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa, he was a brother and sister, Allah Who created us he knows our
problem more than ourselves. He knows our future. Why not? You'll go back to him, please. I would
like to call upon every one of us starting from yourself, then your immediate family. If you have
any problem, don't bring this problem to the court. Solve it within yourself with a family.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:07
			Because you either Hakeem to yourself, you cannot say what can I do? You can do something.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:19
			You can stop yourself from doing something that is haram. You can do what is wajib upon you. You
don't have to wait somebody to come and tell you don't do this. Don't do that. Allah has informed me
what to do and what not to do.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			Simple as that.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			But what is happening today, because the confusion between ourselves.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:33
			And sometimes we known, we know that men meet law more than Islamic law.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:41
			know we tend to follow other people's rules then to follow the Islamic rule.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			I don't blame you because no been.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:57
			I mean, being human, we are not perfect. And then we have not been reminded to do so. Give me
another example. If you're doing business among Muslim, you have some problem?
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			Why can you solve your problem? Islamic come back
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:14
			and see what allows it what the prophet say about this. You have domestic problem example. Why not?
You sit down and see what Allah said, What is the best for us to do now,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:32
			by doing that fellow brother and sister, I personally believe what Allah says, is true what the
prophets say is the best. If you don't do that, brothers and sisters, you make yourself very
confused. Because you say you are Muslim, but you don't follow the Islamic law.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:47
			You say that you are a believer, but you put your cultural and custom ahead from Islam. There's a
lot of confusion in the Muslim ummah. I gave you one last example, the confusion that always took
place
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			into marriage,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			and not a Muslim today.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:58
			They know that Islam does not forbid you to marry anybody as long as it's a Muslim.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:23
			Or she is a Muslim. But we are so particular. Sometimes if Allah had predestined your son married to
a non Indian or Pakistani background, from other arrays, where the Chinese were the Malay. Now
you're not feeling very comfortable now. Because you are only comfortable with your own race.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:31
			Raise the spirit of Islam. Allah, Amina, Aqua, or believer is like a family. Where's your spirit?
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			So in Shama, we believe that if you come back to Islam,
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:41
			the way of Allah the Prophet, you will never create any misunderstanding
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:59
			about Islam to yourself, and you will never create any misunderstanding into Islam to the people who
are not yet Muslim. So brother and sister once again, I would like to call you with the call of
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam return
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:22
			Back to the Quran and the guidance of Prophet Muhammad Samarra Salah what biLlahi Tofurky? We'll
upgrade that one. And then hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen Subhana Allah who morbihan deca eyeshadow
