So,
we continue from where we stopped last, this,
and we were talking about the saying of
Allah.
Allah Allah
described the second
type of, the
The first group are those who believe, and
then they change.
And the second group are those who are
endowed.
They do not accent yet,
but sometimes the thing will be very clear
to them.
They will be almost inclined to the truth,
and then they change their mind.
So Allah,
described these guys,
Their heart,
at the moment when they're having the doubt,
is just like
the say, which is a matak
or the cloud that are full of darkness.
Allah says
It has
darkness,
and also.
This is the offender.
We said yesterday that there is an angel
called
Osu and also the bahb, which is a
lightning.
Allah says,
wulkufuwandifa.
Last year, entered this mapal,
the rain, that is Zulumat, darkness.
This darkness is referring to the Sheikh they
have in their heart
and the kuf in Benifa.
You
know, monafiq never relax,
and that's one of the
disadvantages of the lifat, apart from the kufr
itself,
is that they will not relax at all.
Always worry. Always worry.
That's what Allah says. Yeah. Saboon. Yeah. Saboon.
They always think
that any any shout
is referring to them.
Whenever you talk, they think that you are
referring to
They
worry so much.
Allah talk about the nature of the. You
know?
That
always
they told the believers that we are with
you.
They have to do that so that they
can feel,
you know, protected.
You know, they have to lie to the
believers first. And still,
evil and the believers, you know, they think
the reference is to them.
Yeah. So they never relax in their life.
Allah
says, they always have this fear in their
heart
of you.
You see, Allah
says is referring to the hope, the fear
they have in their heart.
The lightning is referring to
the light of iman sometimes,
which
they managed to see through it,
that the prophet, salawahu alayhi wa sama, is
speaking the truth. But, unfortunately,
soon, another,
you know,
what do you call
situation will take place in the heart where
they will reject that
fact which they
get so early on.
You get how Ibn Kathir is trying to
put it right?
One
says, So he says
Sayyid is the map of the way, and
Vuul Ahmad, these are the shukuk and the
zunun, you know, the kubr that exist in
their heart.
Ra'at, this is the fear of the believers
and also worrying about
them to be the target of the believers.
Barq
Barq is the light of iman that sometimes
appears to them, which enabled them to see
the truth.
Because of the offender,
that fear.
They put their fingers inside their
ears
to protect themselves from
the possible
death because of the impact of the sound.
You get it? But that will not benefit
them at all because Allah
knows what exactly they they are doing. He
knows what they are hiding in their heart
and what they are doing and what they're
intending.
Doing. And this light
is so so powerful in the way it
is almost going to,
you know, go with the eyes.
They're so strong it is always, it's almost
going to go with with the eyes.
Whenever,
you know,
the light of the iman comes, you know,
they will see that.
They will go and use it
and get the correct, path they should be
they should be using.
So sometimes, email will come.
Yeah. Let's go with the believers.
And sometimes,
a
a sheikh will come to them. They neglected
the believers.
So you see the difference between the first
group the first group, they are very clear.
They were Muslimi and then
Kufr
became Malafiq.
The second group,
sometimes iman comes, they take it. But
when shirk come, reject it, go back to
Nifat, you know. So
they never hear
So when the doubt is
there's so much, you know, they left the
iman, and
they go back to Kufu.
When
the light is gone, then they stop because
they cannot move anymore. They don't know where
to go.
That's why the Kafi says they are.
Means they are confused.
They don't know what exactly,
they should be should be doing.
Allah, if you want, we will just remove
the
the summary, the hearing,
and
the
seeing.
Allah if you wish,
He would just remove the eyesight and the
hearing
as Allah has the power and ability to
do
whatever
he wishes.
So these are the 2 types of the
muna fiqeen that we're living with the prophet
in Medina
and,
subhanAllah,
whether the nifaq, nifaq, nifaq, you know, the
real nifaq, or those people who are imitating
the muna afikin from among the liberals.
As I told you, you will never see
them relaxing.
Precisely in the way Manswami can describe their
predecessors,
they were like that, from their brothers and
from their sisters. You know, when you watch
them, you know that, yeah, this person is
not David and Lisa.
And they worry so much. And they think
that every every state negative statement is directed
to to them.
Up to this date, we still have these
type of people living with us.
So this is the arkuba Allah has given
them in this dunya before the Afghan.
So you want to relax in this dunya?
What is the
path to relaxation?
That's the only way to relax. If you
don't, Allah
will leave you with your wisdom,
you know, and you will face the challenges
of this dunya. Let's see,
you know, if that will work with anyone.
It will never.
So nothing left for us except to hold
upon Allah
So this is the end of
the mentions about the Munafiq.
Allah
talk about them things from His
This is the first call that Allah
used to invite
the humankind,
human beings,
all of them,
to worship Allah
and using the tawhidur rububiyah. Yeah. Because
tawhidur rububiyah
is that
that all of the creation of Allah agree
agree with. What is?
If you fail, then I will close this
one. We go back to primary school.
What is that?
Should I give you the mic?
That's correct?
K. Thank you.
So to believe at least there's somebody who
knows, you know, who didn't who revised. I
think we talk about this a lot in
this place. Even though Hebrew will be a
wee loss?
So to believe that Allah
a kaliq,
al Malik,
al Mu'dabi. Right? Allah creates,
and he owns,
and controls.
Right? This is the Hinderbal Buhir.
The vast majority of the human beings accepted
this. Actually, even those who reject this,
they accept it from
inside, that their tongue is saying otherwise.
To believe that Allah creates and to believe
that Allah owns all of those whom he
create
and to believe that Allah controls
everyone,
is the one who control
this one, they they they might have some
problem, this last one, but the first one
and the second one, they all accept it.
Allah says if you ask them who created
the heavens and the earth, they will tell
you Allah.
Yeah. Who created the heavens and the earth,
they will tell you Allah.
But they don't use this to guide them
to worship Allah
So Allah
invited everyone,
say, yeah, you're Anas.
Anas means
humans. Right?
And
ask us to worship.
What is the?
We
we we we we we read this in
Surat Al Vateha. Right?
What is it about that?
What is there anything that Allah hates?
Yes.
Loves. That's right. Hate of life. That is
bad.
To do anything that Allah loves. Right?
Wrong.
So if president lost, that's mean the subordinate
already loses. Right? So let's
count that class. Everyone fails. Right? We have
another president. Should we ask him?
If his excellency is wrong, then everyone has
to be as liberal.
By the way,
they they
ask,
Al Hajjaz
asked 1 of the
one of those great scholars in language,
very big shift in in in Arabic language.
So Hijat also is very strong.
So he wanted to test
because everyone is saying this good in this
way.
Hijat is one of those sponsors.
So he told him, come apart.
Come apart.
Abak
is a salary.
That amount the government is giving to people
who are working. So
he said, Kam
Aba'ak.
Aba'ak.
So Peshek,
when he answered, he said,
al Feym.
Al
Feym.
I want to relate it to my statement
that when the leader is wrong, then they'll
support me there.
So he told him I'll fail.
So that that Khalifa
had had done, you know,
he said that
raising off his voice. You are the people
who are saying you are the best in
the long run, and you are making these
silly mistakes.
He said, sir,
when his excellency is wrong,
I was shy to make the correct one.
So when you were wrong, I also mess
of mine so that I will not be
Khalil.
So
what is this supposed to be the correct
way?
Yeah. That's the correct way to put it,
but he said
intentionally to test him.
So the sheikh said Alfain. He was supposed
to say Alfain. He said Alfain.
And when he asked him, why did he
make this silly mistake? He say, yeah. Because
the leader also is wrong, so we just
follow.
So back to my my,
question.
What is the answer?
To do what he commands.
To
do good deeds according to the teachings of
the Quran as well?
Wrong.
I like this answer.
He says something,
you know? Nobody knows?
Okay. The English one? Worship.
Worship.
That's translation of the word.
I want the meaning of the word.
Worship. That Allah loves Uh-huh. And the way
he loves it. In the way he loves
it.
Okay.
Why the correct answers are always coming from
the sisters, but don't you feel shy? Can
you just go out and let me just
teach the sisters alone? I
listen. They said,
Doing anything that Allah loves,
don't stop here.
That's your problem because you stopped. The first
one you mentioned is correct, but
you missed
one of the most important part of it,
which is Allah is pleased with it.
Yeah. Because not everything Allah
loves
is happy with you to do it at
that time.
True?
There are things which Allah loves, but they
don't want you to do.
K? Yeah. Allah
loves Hajj
so much. Right?
I
somebody made Hajj in Ramaba
and
Al Asun. He did everything Rasool Allah did
but in Ramadan.
Which he goes?
Which he goes? Hindus? Since Ramadan is special
monk. Right?
But this Hajj of his, is it accepted?
Salam. Is it accept? No. Right. Why?
Because he doesn't do it in the way
Allah's Witness, please.
Clear?
You're so happy you pray Fajid
to thank Allah for rakat.
Yeah. Because Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
bless you with something that you have been
looking for. You know? Today, you got it.
So he said,
50 rakat.
For the sake of Allah. Sincerely for the
sake of Allah. And you are very harsh
in them.
Are they accepted?
Why?
Because Allah is not pleased with that person.
So that's why it's necessary when you define
Ibadah to say that doing what Allah loves
and he is happy with you to do
it. At the time, you do it in
the way you are doing it.
Get it? That's why following the sunnah after
Prophet has to be precisely in the way
of the sun, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
whether it is a statement or whatever. So
Ibadah is a very
general and comprehensive,
you know, title that includes so many things
so many things. Allahia alhamdulillah.
That Ibadah is not only in the Masjid.
You are in your business, you do the
halal what?
Are you doing Ibadah?
Yes. Are you doing? Yes. Yes. And you're
getting money. Right? And you're getting profit. You
are generating lot. You know?
You're doing?
Get it? You meet your friends, sit down
with them, and talk in the right way.
Make them happy. They make you happy. Is
it anybody? Yes.
That's why they said a smart person is
somebody who turns
his halal things into an act of worship.
Right? Into halal thing into
act of worship.
Is it possible?
Yes.
Have intention, you know, when doing anything you
are doing, Allah will
reward you for that.
So Allah
says, yeah, you have Nas. He invites
Nas. Nas means humans. Right? Nas.
All of them.
Do we include genes here?
The gins, are they included in the call
also? No.
Afternoon.
So
only. Right?
So jins, just like animals, they die
and turn into tarot. Different.
Or
So this is called genes are not included.
So any gene who was there when Rasoolah
Salazar originate this iron,
he can just say this is not meant
for us.
Please be.
Where?
But I just asked Abdullah Abdullah. He told
me that it is not for the.
This is Nas.
So Nas is?
When when you hear Nas, the first thing
that comes to your mind is Human. Humans.
Right?
That's why Allah says.
Oh, they are that's mean
they are 2 different things. Right?
But the are they included also, Teban,
in the command?
Command.
Command to worship Allah Subhanahu. Are they supposed
to worship also? Or they're just like animals.
They need to have a good amount of
time. Worship. They have to worship also.
Where do you get that they have to
wash it?
It's mine. It's very smart. It says, Allah
says
Is there any command that is directed to
the jinn?
All.
Yeah. You're Hanjin.
Hanjin.
In Surajah Jin, is there any place in
Surajah Jin where Allah says, yeah, you
have
jinn?
No.
But they were invited to Islam and they
accepted. Right? Mhmm. You're right.
Ahmad Surat Al Jinn is all about that.
And also, they listen to the
Quran.
They accepted it immediately. So we learned that
they are also Tehran.
Whether they have Rusul among them or they
don't have, there's a controversial matter amongst these
scholars.
The best opinion is the one that says
they follow the human
messengers.
That's why they said, oh, Zilliman by the
Musa, a book that was revealed after Musa,
alaihis salam.
So that's mean they know Musa, alaihis salam.
Right? And they accepted Rasoul,
and they invited Rasoul, sallam, to go and
teach them
Islam.
So they also will be going to Jannah.
Is there any eye that shows that jinn
also will go to Jannah?
Which eye?
Surat Al Rahmah.
Allah
says,
Allah says and Allah
says they have never been touched by a
jinn or human being.
What does that mean? Jinn also will go
to paradise. So they are just like us
as they mentioned in Surat al jinn.
Whatever you have here also they have. Muslim,
written, or whatever. And they have deviations also,
you know, narrations from some of our predecessors
that one of the jinn says, we have
all categories here.
We have one of our earliest quality pass
away heater who was quoting.
So that person was now written a statement,
said by one of the agents that they
have everything amongst them. And,
he asked him, you also, you have firoc
amongst you?
He said yes.
Firoc means,
Moatazilah,
Khawar, I mean, Shia, and all of this.
So
he asked him, which one is worse?
He said, Rawafa.
There are Rawafat among the.
Because Allah says.
We also have different
* and groups.
So that's an admission.
I can't remember who among the scholars that
Sheikh Khabawas who passed away was mentioning,
that he was speaking to somebody that he
doesn't see in inside his house.
So he asked him,
do you have these also?
The IRS says also they are divisions. We
have different
approaches.
And according to that story, he said,
That's why Abu Mohammed, in his
he says
The worst amongst the creatures that ever steps
on the Earth, there are those from
any
one who worked on the earth, whether
from human beings and digits.
So it's highly possible,
Adam,
to have those, but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
mentioned to us that they say by themselves
that they have different approaches.
And those who are making the rukuya to
the people who are possessed,
we are some of them will tell them
we are this
we have this that's why they they also
give dua to them
them,
which
somehow I defile.
Some of our scholars do not agree with
this
conversation
because it's very dangerous and too risky.
You know? Because when you are having the
conversation with them, it's very easy for you
to be distracted.
Right?
Very easy for you to be distracted.
So
Shaitan asked him, you know, says he just
read the Quran and let them go. No
need to ask him which country you're from,
what is your name, you know, Muslim or
not. You know? And they engage in long
conversation between them and Shafi,
and they're very smart.
Very, very smart.
So the best is to read the Quran,
and we know that many people are going
beyond the limits of this era. So
the best, just read the Quran,
and that's it. Just read the Quran,
inshallah the kids groups.
And some of them they will bring his
sister and he will put his hand on
on her and do the rupee.
Hello? Hello? Hello. Hello?
Because we don't need that.
The medical doctors are not allowed to touch
a sister that is not
his
part of his Mahari
unless if there is
no any other sister to do it,
and he need to do that. That is
okay for him to touch to look at
what he is
in need of.
But you have those who think that, yeah,
this is the process in the ropeway. They
have to hold their head and go and
do the ropeway. You don't need to.
All that he has to do is to
bring
sisters to to hold
that person. Then he hit. Does it
work? Yeah. It does.
It does. It is the same.
Yeah. Actually, it is it has more impact
because this one is halal,
but he's doing it wrong.
And she thought, it might it might stay
longer, you know, because of that.
So it it does. Remember, the first
time when somebody forced me to do,
europea, I always stay away from it. So
the force
because the one who usually does, he said
he would never do it.
And Subhanallah
was his sister
who always listened to the music.
I just started reading a sword in buffer
and jumping.
It's how it works.
As I said,
it will work. You don't need to hold.
You don't need to touch.
You just sit in that place and read
the Koran. The intention of is more than
enough.
They're also invited
to
to accept Islam and also to adhere to
the call of the last part and to
worship him alone.
Okay. Worship
Allah SWT
So as I said, Allah SWT is inviting
people to worship him him through the Tawhid
because
if you understand Tawhid
correctly,
He will guide you to the Tawhid.
Hallelujah. It is already part of the Tawhid,
but he will guide you to the Tawhid.
Hallelujah. Because when is the
To accept that Allah creates and to accept
that he's the owner of all of those
whom he created,
and to accept that control and the command
belongs to him.
To accept that he's the one who is
in control and the command can only come
from Allah.
This is what they are supposed to be
doing to. Hindr Abu Biyyah is supposed to
guide them to
the fact that Allah is alone
when it comes to
the worship.
There is no Idah other than Allah
and there can't be 1.
There is no way for you to have
2 in this domain. No way.
It has to be only 1.
Otherwise, if you have 2 Ilah, Allah Subhana
Wa Ta'la says
If you have 2 Ilah in this life,
in this heavens and earth, other than Allah,
the structure in the heavens and earth will
never be in the way
And also even if they cooperate both of
them, the creation most likely will never be
in the way we see it nowadays. We
see a lot of differences even among the
human beings.
So when we see the structure of human
being and the nature of human beings to
remain in the way we see it, we
learn that Allah is 1. The one who
is doing all of this
is
only
1.
So the one who created you
and those who came before you.
Yeah. So that you can attain the taqwa.
So Ibadah of Allah
help you to have the taqwa of Allah.
What is taqwa?
Consciousness.
What is consciousness?
To be aware that Allah is always watching.
Be aware that Allah is always watching.
Amen?
And he'll hold
you accountable for your actions?
He holds you accountable of? Of actions. He
will hold you accountable. And then?
To worship them as if he Do you
have k. Let me stop,
let me stop you from
prolonging this,
debating.
Do you have scholars?
I mean,
corrupted
who are corrupt?
What? They teach Quran, Sunnah. They always say
Allah They know Allah
Right? And then still they get
They know Allah and they know that there
is Hishab and the Day of Judgment,
you know, and they teach people, they tell
us, you know, be careful, tomorrow you will
come to
Allah, but they're the worst
amongst the creation.
But still they
do. Do they have taqwa in their heart?
No.
So that's mean taqwa is something beyond
what you
just
mentioned. What is?
Fear. Fear.
They don't eat good, they don't
they don't do it because of this fear,
they think that.
Allah
is
so scary, and they they they don't attach
to their activities, the mercy of Allah. They
just depend on the fear.
They get lost.
Yeah. We have a lot of them who
get lost
because of that.
So we translate Taqwa with the fear. Right?
Yeah. But the real meaning of Taqwa is
not is not this.
So what is is
to love
and fear,
to worship. Those are the pillars of worship.
Yeah?
Being obedient to Allah's.
Okay. Let me accept this one to close
the page off.
I have
wrong answers here.
So they said tapwa
tapwa because your taqi
is to have a shield, you know, like
a tus, you know, like the armor, like
the shield, something that you're using to protect
yourself from
things that are coming to you. Let's say
somebody is shooting you with arrows.
What do you have? You have the that
shield. Right? You're trying to protect yourself from
reaching you. Somebody's trying to hit you with
a spear. You're trying to block him with
with something.
What are you doing?
Using something to protect yourself from the evil
of what is coming to you. That's taqwa.
Is that clear? So if I apply the
same thing when it comes to the of
Allah, what does that mean? To put between
you
and the punishment of Allah
a strong
barrier
and shield and fortress to protect you from
it.
So you don't want to go to *,
What do you do?
You observe the Taqwa. What is Taqwa in
this regard?
You have a barrier between you and *.
What is that barrier?
Practicing
the religion of Allah
through the Quran and the sunnah of the
prophet
That's the top one. So those callers that
I have mentioned, they know
Allah They they know they know who is
Allah. Even Firaun knows who is Allah.
That's why the last minute of his life,
what did he say?
Yeah. He said, Ahmed, he believed.
But it doesn't work
because it was too late.
So knowing Allah's water is not enough if
you don't put that into
action. You know Allah and you act upon
that knowledge, then yes, you are the Muqtakhi.
You have the knowledge, you don't act upon
it. What is that?
That knowledge is useless, and you are not
among the people of the taqwa.
Allah says,
Why is that? Because
only,
you
know, a scholar has a true fear of
Allah
and the real knowledge is the one that
guides you to the fear of Allah
and when I say scholar
I mean in general, if you see a
person observing the top one, the correct top
one, this person is,
is a scholar within that little knowledge he
has.
You get it? But the real one, the
one who has the most perfect taqwa, are
those people who study about Allah and they
act upon their knowledge.
So Allah
says,
' that
you are doing, the activities you are doing
in this life, they are supposed to lead
you to
the top of the last Muhammad
Ali. And one of the best act of
worship that you do to please the last
Muhammad Ali is
seeking knowledge.
Which one is better? Do you have all
knowledge?
Yeah. You had. Right?
Today, you fear a lot.
Knowledge is better. If you die in Jihad,
you go to Jannah forever. If you die
in knowledge, you go to?
Jannah, but not you you still have to
go through day of judgment.
K. Adam, you know that Rasool Allah
said the prophets
That is nothing
that is equivalent to knowledge as long as
the intention is is correct.
Jihad is
supposed to be based on knowledge. Without knowledge,
that jihad will be placed in the wrong
place.
Jihad has principles. Right? Yeah. If the person
doesn't know, they have to rely upon the
scholars to give them petrol
to go.
The idea is so important that the last
mile hotel has said, people shouldn't go all
of them. There has to be
some people who remain and study so that
they can educate
others. You get it?
So nobody
Rassoul Sallahu alaihi wa sallam said, mayyuridillahu
be khayrman
of course, it's good. He said, 'If Allah
wants good for you, He will grant you
the ability to learn
the knowledge of the Deen. If Allah wants
good for you, He will grant you He
will make you among them a student of
knowledge.
So that's why
knowledge is the best,
much better than anything else because every single
thing in the sharia is based on
knowledge.
Allah says,
He says,
He says you have to know first. Tawhid,
starting with knowledge before
tawhid.
Before even tawhid.
You get it? Because tawhid, without knowledge, which
tawhid you are doing,
you end up committing shirk,
trying to please Allah
That's why scholars
and the student of knowledge,
nobody is like them in the
Muhammad.
None. As long as they're free at Maslah.
So I really,
you
know,
congratulate
you
and also advise you to be sincere in
what you do and to be
serious.
Don't miss any class that you go and
learn about the last
That's the best time you have in this
Don't give excuses.
You have a lot of classes going on
in
in this university
of ours.
K? You might agree with some you don't
agree.
In most of these classes, you find
only sick it.
Little amount of people go into the class.
What happened to the mosque?
Right?
But only a loser will stay away from
from the places of human rights. So
be among
the students of knowledge
if you can't be among the scholars.
Except the dhikr of Allah
and anything that is related to it
and a student and a scholar. These are
only
3 thing 4 things that are not curios
in this debate.
So if you are not one of these,
you're in trouble. So knowledge is the best.
So one of the best act of worship
you will do to please Allah is knowledge.
And knowledge, if it doesn't lead you to
the top of Allah, that knowledge is
useless.
We have scholars who are so arrogant.
There are scholars who are so corrupt.
These knowledges
use this. That's why
one of the shafi scholars said,
And a scholar who is not using his
knowledge
might be punished on the day of judgement
before the idol worshipers.
You see, the position of a scholar is
so big in the hereafter
and it is also too dangerous for you
to have the knowledge, but you don't use
it correctly.
Allah. I pray to Allah. I'm supposed to
have an increase in
the.
I give zakat. I'm supposed to have the
increase in the. I do the senate rahib.
I'm supposed to have the increase. I go
and visit the sick person. I'm so supposed
to have more tapwa.
It's good to go.
I visit the grave. I'm supposed to have
more taqwa.
Every single thing that is called
it is supposed to be due to the
taqwa of Allah.
Allah
is the one who made the Earth for
you.
Means?
Yes. Like a mattress, but something that is
flattened in the way
you can walk it
comfortably.
That's for us.
Carpet. Personal carpenter.
Usama
Abina and having Allah
built it on top of it.
It has a wisdom, it has what it
does,
the benefit of having all of these things
there. I think science talks about some
very little of them,
and the soul of the the people.
Only the believers.
The non believers, they will never get inside
heavens because the last one
They will not go to paradise and
they will
not even get inside the the Samar.
If you see them going to the paradise,
that means
camel is able to go inside the hole
of a needle.
You know that one, they have a script,
right, to to put the the clip. Right?
How do you put camel inside?
This is just a way
Allah's motto, I want you to understand that
there is no way for these guys to
go to jail.
Jannah.
And Allah
sent from the a Samah here is referring
to?
The clouds. Right? Yeah. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
send the rain from them.
Says, and Allah's water brought out,
you know, with this water
from the fruits of
different types
as a means
of sustenance for the last Allah, risk from
Allah for you.
How much are we paying for this?
Having this summer
covering us,
protection for us, and having the earth
being placed in the way we feel comfortable
to stay on
it, and sending the rain, a doll,
for our plantation, you know, to grow the
fruits and
the grain we need to survive,
giving us the water to drink, how much
are we paying for this
Is there any are we supposed to pay?
Yes.
The payment is for Iman.
That's why a kafir is going to be
punished on the day of judgement for
taking these things without paying a due price.
Forget it. The payment, you know, is even.
And, subhanallah, how much Allah is spending
to keep this system intact?
Nobody can imagine.
All of these are more than enough for
a smart person
to understand that only Allah is supposed to
be worshipped
and nobody deserves your action except Allah
You have you want to drink water, you
have.
You want to
you don't know how much terrible is this
until you live in the place where you
see those people who have to go kilometers
for them to get one drop of water.
Some are drinking water with the dogs and
snakes
and donkeys,
very dirty water.
Yeah. Allah is protecting them from anything.
You
know? Why? Because of the need.
And you you have it?
Yeah. And they will come. Right?
Do we appreciate that?
No.
K. And other than that, whatever you need,
Allah has given.
And he put it in a way, insha'Allah,
it will not finish. You know?
And the scholar said, look at how Allah
wants to make the system.
You see the the the most important thing
in your life is what?
Water. Right?
In food, water is more important,
than than the food.
Because food, you can survive
without food for how long if you have
water?
On 3 weeks.
Up to 40 days.
Shef Nazar al Bani said he was having
a sickness, and the doctor told him that
the best medicine for you is to stay
away from food for 40 days. He did.
He says, I'm
the one
who experienced this. He said, I've lived for
40 days, nothing except water.
After that, he said, yes. We were right
by alhamdulillah by the grace of Allah, the
sickness was was gone.
Yeah. But he survived. But how about
water? How long you can survive?
3 days.
So you can see in in most of
the countries,
if you're not living in Korea,
in most of the countries, water is one
of the cheapest things.
Thing. That's if you want the clean one.
Yeah. You can buy the bottle 1, 1
ringgit, or even lesser, or you could just
go with Fujisan and feel the big thing,
you know, and drink.
And if you want to go with the
villages,
just drink your water from the well directly
and then sit, you know, and become healthier
than us.
So I just want you to understand how
Allah
is supporting us. He make it cheap,
you know, one of the easiest things because
it is necessity,
more necessary to you than the food.
However, there is something bigger than this.
You know, you need it more than the
water, which is the
air. And if you don't pay the water
bill, they cut the water. Right? And even
the water bill is, in comparison to the
electricity, is very little.
And in some places, actually, the government has
a certain amount. If you don't exceed this
one, you don't pay it.
You get it? But the air,
can you how
much you can stay without having the air?
What you can leave?
Within minutes, 2 minutes. Few minutes, you know,
and then you will start, you know, suffocating
and
and started telling start telling us, you're good.
Subhanallah.
Did you ever witness a country whereby the
government is controlling the air?
We don't like you, so we will not
give you the air to breathe. You know?
Never happened. Never lie. Did you ever think
about this that this is Niemah from Allah's
mother that he capable
him? Because you can't live without it.
The most arrogant and the worst person also
Allah's mother gave him. Everyone can
teach because it's it's part of our existence.
And not only that, as Kola said, this
water,
sorry, this air is also a creation from
Allah, true?
And every creation usually has an end. Finished.
Finished. Except those Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, make
them without end.
This oxygen,
can it finish? Yes. That's why in some
places, you know, I mean, in an airplane,
they tell you if you don't have oxygen,
they will bring the box,
not the box there. The mask, you know,
and just put it and then breathe normally.
They give you support because the one in
in the inside the Erubim is is gone
or is deficient.
He said, look at how Allah's going to
protect us because it will finish because we
are taking it, consuming, right? One day, we
will wake up without absolute
that
Allah created around us,
you
know, some other creation that need what we
are taking out.
Can you breathe out the cover?
Yeah. Those ones, they will take it, and
they'll produce
oxygen,
so that the system and the life will
be continuous.
How much you do to appreciate this?
So this is what Allah is doing here
to remind you about what he is doing
to you. Yes, Nehemiah. I give you this.
I give you that. I give you this.
I give you that, but still,
where are you?
I ask you to come to the Masjid,
you're absent.
I ask you not to be in the
wrong place, you were there.
I ask you not to do this, you
do it.
You forgot all of these and
nobody provided this for you. The Prophet
said,
this hadith is really beautiful. He says, the
hands of Allah are full of bounties.
So how lady
is the most generous one you can ever
imagine
in the night and the daytime
gives everyone.
Just try to,
you know, reflect upon
how many creations Allah
has
in
all of their time, insect human being.
Every single one of us
is always asking Allah to give every single
second.
Every single second in this dunya, you need
a last month there to support you, Every
single
second. You are locked. Every single second.
Actually, less than that.
There is no way for you to live
without having Allah
supporting you. If you withdraw,
that's equal to death,
that's disaster.
But He supports everyone, He controls everyone, He
feeds everyone, He gives you whatever you ask
for and more than what you ask for,
He protects everyone,
defend everyone.
That's why Allah says,
that there is no way for allah's mother
to sleep. It is inappropriate for him actually
to sleep
because he is the caretaker of the heavens
and the earth and everything he created.
Rasulullah
said, he said, sit down and have reflection
upon that which Allah
has been spending, what He spent from the
time He created the heavens and the earth.
How much is that to keep the system
intact?
So therefore, human beings, nothing fit except to
recognize Allah as the only one to be
worshipped and to
put this into practice. Not just to say
he's the only one and then you do
other things. No.
No. He's the only one to be worshipped,
which means
I'm going to live as a Muslim, and
I'm going to do nothing except that which
he wants.
You get it? That's the meaning of Islam.
If you know the meaning of Islam, then
you'll be you'll begin to
ask, am I really, really good Muslim or
not? Because Muslim Islam means
a total submission to the will of Allah
So ask yourself
how many times the last one to tell
me not to and I
how many times Allah asked me to do
and I
I didn't know you. So, Allah says, he
did all of these things for you, He
didn't pay anything for that. Free of charge
Allah has given and he doesn't mind.
Who is obeying, who is not obeying?
It doesn't change the decree of Allah's mouth.
He's
saying it. Everything we're committing sins. Right? Even
the Muslims. Right? Don't say, no. This is
Kufa. No Muslims also. Sometimes Muslims are more
corrupt than
the Kufar.
Although, if you
count the the Kufar,
then the kufar will all be on top.
You
get it. But in terms of corrupting the
community, you know,
physical corruption, you know, sometimes some Muslims,
but still Allah has given.
That's part of the mercy of Allah Allah.
So Allah
says do not associate, partner with Allah
and you well, you know that nobody deserves
to be worshipped except Allah
So this is how Allah has invited us
through
to recognize him as the only one who
is supposed to be to be worshipped.
That is the first invitation by Allah
to both humans and the genes.
They're all included here. Yeah. Although Allah,
I'll take up the human being and talk
about them, but the genes also are included.
Yeah, Allah grant us good and ability to
worship him in the way he wants.
Okay. Let's, go to questions.
Any question?
Yeah. First question, Sheikh.
Someone used to talk with Allah,
everything, and find comfort with Allah.
Allah cures and grants risk and contentment
in the heart.
But in certain situations of family,
causes the person to take means such as
psychologists
to improve the person's health.
Why rebasing
like the trying to present?
Is it a manuscript?
Then move to the next question.
Why seems to drive a person
onto instability?
Driving a person into a state of
But is there any
result for taking river other than that?
Because in last way, if she's talking about
river, Allah
is talking about and Allah
says
taking river is equal to waging war against
against
him. That's why our economic system let me
just answer this wrong question,
and then I I come back to the
correct one.
That's why last one,
I'm so that's why the system here is
always
shaky.
It'll
never be straightforward.
And it cracks the economic system,
financial system that we are,
you know,
basing our life on,
never been stable at all
because it is based
on river.
Yeah. So the the system is in a
war with Allah, so
it cannot succeed at
all. So that's my answer to that question,
whether it's correct or wrong, but let's see
how they From what I understand of what
this person is asking
is that they're completely sane and they find
they they have solace with Allah and they're
they're fine. But their family is pushing them
to go to a psychologist.
So can't be they know that if they
go to the psychologist,
they will be cleared as fine. So can
they go to the psychologist just to show
the family, like, I'm fine? Yeah. It's okay.
If the family think they are not okay,
you know, because sometimes family thinks somebody is
much rude.
That's exactly. Yeah. There is there is there
is a case where the family reported a
a young boy
to a Sheikh. They told him, please advise
him. You need some
advice
because he's Majinu.
So the sheikh invited the boy, and he
talked to him.
Subhanallah,
he found that actually the family of Bajanin,
he is the only one who is okay.
You are not the boy talk nicely and
he told him, no. This is the family.
This is what they are inviting me to
do. When I denied, they called me Majinu.
They told me, come on, commit sin. He
said, these are sinful things,
And, subhanallah, he told the sheikh, he said,
sheikh,
your and your lectures,
I can tell you what you are saying.
I memorize almost whatever you are saying.
In lecture so and so and so, you
said this, this, this, and that. He said
Sheikh said even things which I forgot myself.
So he said, I realized that I should
call the parent back for consultation, not him.
Yeah.
So if they think you are my,
ask them how do I get, out of
this?
If they will be okay with the counselors,
go to the counselor.
But sometimes, even after the counselor, that will
never go. Yeah, because they want to see
your uncle being attached to Haram thing. As
long as you're not doing the Haram thing,
they still see you as.
So what what what what what can you
do in this case?
Just say Alhamdulillahi
Aljunoon.
Yeah. If following Allah is Junoon,
then Alhamdulillah.
That Junoon, Alhamdulillah.
May Allah bring more, you know.
You get it? So we have to really
be very careful. If they want you to
disobey Allah and you don't do that and
they call you certain names, don't worry.
Just let them go.
The law grants us good.
Next question. Can a person seek help from
psychologists?
Yes.
Yes. You can seek help from anyone.
Yeah. But you have to be very careful.
Get the correct psychologist.
Okay? Not just Muslim psychologists.
No. Correct psychologist
and a good psychologist.
Otherwise,
psychologist
will take you
to a wrong way. Your sickness will increase.
I remember a person who became Madjunoon, literally
Madjunoon, after visiting a psychologist.
Yeah. Because sometimes psychologists will ask you to
go through what Sharia says, haram.
But to them, this is the remedy.
Yeah.
So need to visit
a psychology
a psychologist that fears a lost man of
time and
knows how to talk and will guide you
to
the correct
solution
to your problem.
The next question, Sheikh. Question from my brother.
Assalamu alaykum wa
rakatuhu yashik.
Assalamu alaykum Fidunu Akhira.
A sister in my workplace has turned down
a marriage offer.
I try my best to not see her,
but
seeing her name alone
still makes me feel.
I pray the shikhara and approach her in
the best way possible.
So why is it still hard to move
on when this is what Allah has chosen
for me? Should should I try to find
another job to move away from her completely?
Oh, you advised her to move.
Another job.
How should I ask?
I mean, what do you expect in a
place where
both are mixing in the wrong way? What
do you expect to happen other than this
in any place?
And sometimes, we
deceive ourselves
through the organizations we have
because in some organizations, people think that,
as long as
we are doing things for Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, then we are free.
And this also creeped to the societies,
the Islamic
societies in the universities.
Like some of these societies, you know, subhanAllah.
I
was supposed to give a lecture in
one of the universities and the Islamic Society
of that that place.
Just because I reached that place, otherwise, I
will just cancel,
offer and go back.
The The way I see
them, next
let's see if we are in the wedding
ceremonies.
Nobody between the 2 generals
laughing,
shouting. Is that what the husband and wife
are doing when they sit and converse?
Nobody.
And then tomorrow, when things happen, we come
in.
So we have to be be very careful
because I'm saying this because I have seen
that. Whenever we have society or we have
anything that is putting us together in the
university, you see,
out of this place, we have the barrier.
But in this place, we don't have.
So the question is why the double
standard are 2 phases with the last one.
So
we have to be very careful. So what
what can he do with this person?
You know? If it is becoming fit for
him, I will advise
him, sure to leave that place
and go and look for another job.
You
know, because we don't know what will happen
in the future between him and all.
I will advise him to leave that job,
give himself relief, go and look for something
else. It's better for you.
And also
to tell him that,
you know, as a man,
this is very shameful.
You are not. It's very shameful.
And disrespect
to the rest of the the man,
To hang around one sister as if there
is no any other sister on earth except
her.
How many sisters are like great and how
many?
You guys the finish? That was the last
one.
You will laugh. Why why would the person
hang his his heart, you know, to somebody
and they're thinking about nobody except Dawa?
When she said no, what does that mean?
No. No.
You know, as a man, if you call
it by the word, you know, man, what
does that mean? Close that page
and say, no problem.
May Allah grant
you good.
And close that page
and go. If it's written for you,
It will come. I told you last time
about
one of our classmates in Medina
who wants to approach a sister for a
marriage and they told him,
no. We will give you but you cannot
come close to her until she graduate. We
will arrange the marriage now, but you cannot
approach her until she graduates.
Sir Ibrahim, his name is Sir
Ibrahim. I will not mention the other name,
not this one. The other one.
So he he said,
I don't want
poster.
That was the condition the parent didn't insist.
He also said, I don't want.
SubhanAllah.
He closed that page completely
and went and looked for another
wife. That was what's supposed to be done.
Humanity.
Trust me.
They came to him because the girl,
you know, opened fire in the in the
house,
says she wants nobody except
him. They came to him after the first
marriage and now she has to be
the second wife. And the right man and
whom they gave him, because she said she
wants to be with you, the law.
That's
that's that's life. So that's why I said
it's wrong for a person to think in
this way. And the same goes to the
sisters. Allah is wrong for a sister to
hear that a sister hanging around with 1
person thinking that if she doesn't get we
have heard some of them committed suicide.
And not very long there was a sister.
They managed to get her almost, going to
kill Hassan
because her boyfriend
neglected her.
If it is that which no. You can
understand, but boyfriend
neglecting her as a going to throw herself
from the building to kill herself because she
thinks life is not good anymore.
What is this?
Oh, why this is disease?
How many brothers we have? Although they are
little nowadays. Right? But how many we have?
They finished?
Look at these guys.
And if you go out, you see a
lot of them also like that. Right? A
lot of you are outside. Right? Yeah. So
what I'm trying to say is
my message to this person and anyone who's
suffering from this.
Yes. It's good to protect yourself and marry.
When you proposed to a sister, and she
said no.
Just close that cage. And it is not
even good for a person. Take this from
me. It is not good for you to
convince a woman to marry
It's not good for you. The same goes
to your sister. It's not good for her
to convince a man to marry her. It's
not good
because that marriage is based on,
you know, force somehow.
Once that person start to see something
other than what they are expecting, they will
go back to their old behavior.
That that's how it is.
So you look for her hand, she said,
no. Just close that page and look for
somebody else. Alhamdulillah.
She looked for his hand.
He said, no. Close that page and look
for somebody. Alhamdulillah.
Allah says, Waasa, I'll take her a washyan.
Oh, khairi. Allah hear those notes.
When you especially married. When you look for
a marriage and Allah doesn't want it to
happen, Allah says, alhamdulillah, go forward.
You might marry that person and cry, literally
cry.
You become old before your
your age, you know. Your migrant is good.
So this is my advice to the brother.
If he is really suffering from this, feeling
and he is meeting the sister every time
and he cannot control,
himself. I will advise him to look for
another job. It's better for you.
K. Any last vote?
Regarding the last 10 nights of Ramadan,
is it better to stay awake the whole
night or to get some rest to get
energy for Ibad?
To stay awake, for the whole night. If
you don't have a job in the morning
yeah. If you have job in the morning,
then it's better to sleep, you know, so
that you can be productive also in the
morning.
Sleep very early so that you will wake
up early and benefit from the last part
of the night.
But if you don't have a job,
for instance, a student if, let's say, they
have online classes I don't know what what
more they have, but they have online classes,
then
I will suggest making
night
every
spend
a whole night.
And then in the daytime, attend your class
and see.
Get something to wake you up.
Lamp clock if that's tomorrow.
But if you are free in the morning,
this is my advice to you. Spend the
whole night washing in a glass of my
hotel and then sleep.
If you have a job in the morning,
then it's good to
have some energy for your
A question from brother Hanan.
While holding the Mus'haf in our hand during
the salah,
should we only use our right hand to
hold it, or is there nothing specific?
The question should be, is it even halal
to hold or not?
Right. Right? Before we start asking which hand,
you know, the question, is it halal to
hold the Quran or not?
It is Yes. It is My prayers. K.
Mufti
Mazin says it is.
Yes. So take the potash of Mazin. You
can hold the Quran and
I will advise not to. Although it doesn't,
inshallah, affect your prayer if you hold the
Quran but I will advise not to.
Because sometimes, when you hold the Quran and
you're following the Imam this is the Tawhid.
Right? Yeah. Yeah. If you're following the Imam,
sometimes your eyes will see something, the imam
is reading something.
And the imam is correct and your eyes
do not see
that thing correctly because you don't memorize the
Quran, so you think the imam is reading
incorrectly.
That's why some imam got annoyed, and they
do have a right to get annoyed
because everyone is correct and correction in the
wrong way.
Why? Because they're watching. And also when you're
holding the Quran,
it takes your attention.
That's why the best just come to the
Masjid for your hand like this and listen
to me now. That's
it. Focus on every satiation.
But can you do it? Yes. It's okay
to do.
And if you are going to do this
Quran, use your right hand to go in
Quran. That's, that's very obvious.
But is it the best thing to do?
No.
Should it? Just listen to him. If he's
praying alone. If he's praying alone, also the
same thing. Keep with him
if that is the only thing you memorize.
Repeat it a lot.
Trust me. It's better to read those small
small small small sword that you memorize
better than having the Quran reading from the
Quran. Because it takes your consciousness.
Get it? Yeah. You memorize only the last
10 2 verse. Repeat them
a lot. Rasool Allah has been repeating some
of the ayat a
When you read Quran with the Quran, with
the most have to sit down, not in
the grave.
But it's okay to do. K? If somebody
wants to do, it's okay to do. But
I'm just
advising you,
I mean, to do that which is better
for you, Michel.
Mark?
And have a Quran on his hand. Like,
when it comes to Sujood,
he's not will be he will not be
he will not be able
to
Excellent. Yeah. To fulfill the Arkan of Suyut,
the 7, completely. So he said,
he doesn't, you know, he doesn't accept that.
Like,
the the prayer is not complete. So many
things because sometimes even the ruku,
you know, the track that people are in,
you know, he wants to do the ruku.
Okay? And this is for he has 2
options,
either to keep it in his hand
or to put it down. You put it
on the ground. There's disrespect to the book
of Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So what does he
do? Sometimes he hold it like this. So
he put so you see the the placing
of the hand is not properly done in
the whole. And sometimes he put it
here. And also it's not good for the
plant to do this.
Right?
This place is not a place.
Okay. This is the place of our staff.
That's what Sharia says to the Buddha. The
helmet is coming from that place.
You get it? So the sujood is is
going to be affected. And sometimes when they
make the sujood, they put the Quran like
this, you know, and they go for the
sujood.
Even focusing, you know, on that Quran is
there. You're trying to raise it up, you
know, and not all of your fingers touching
the ground.
Why?
That's why I really advise
a person who is using this kutva to
hold the ground when you are praying behind
it, you know, or you're praying alone,
change his mind. Keep it outside. Just wait.
Whatever you memorize and that's it.
You're not need to finish the Quran or
to be, long Suwath. What
is the difference between Baqarah and Surat al
Nace?
It's one as long as one as short.
In terms of reward,
I read Surat al Nace. Adam read Surat
al Nace.
One hour of reading, one hour,
you know, and, he read Surat al Nas
the same amount of the letters of Surat
al Baqarah.
Who is better in terms of the word?
Same.
Same. Same. But people have been there feeling
that
good. Rasulullah, Surah. So my knowledge is never
said. If you do Surah Baqarah, you get
more reward than Surah Al Baqarah does. No,
it doesn't.
So when you do night prayer, just come
according to your ability for the qalaam masaba'atuh.
Whatever you have, the little you have to
speak that one.
Happy.
