Our beloved Prophet, Muhammad, peace and blessings be
upon him, and upon his family and companions.
And peace be upon you, too.
Today, the first day of the first month
of the month of Rabi'ah, 1446, which
corresponds to the fifth of the month of
September, 2024.
If you continue our lesson in this blessed
book, the book of Allah the Almighty, As
'alu allaha subhanahu wa ta'ala an yubarika
fina wa fima anata'allamu wa an yaghfira
lana zallat wa yaghfira limal kathirin wa yurfa
'a darajatahu fi al'aliyyin.
So bithin Allah ta'ala we will refresh
our mind with the last ayah we studied,
last dars which I believe was the saying
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, wa idh
qulna lil malaika tisjudu li'adama fasajadu illa
ibleesa abawastakbara wakana bina alkaafireen.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala asked the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam, the message is for
all of us to remember that old enmity
which has no end between us and shaytan.
When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created our
father Adam and he commanded the angels to
prostrate and to make sujood for Adam alayhi
salam and I do believe we talk about
that sujood whether it is in a form
of banding or the sujood we know, whatever
the case might be that was a command
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for them
to do it, you get it?
That was a command from Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala for them to do it and
whatever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commanded a
person to do, it is ibadah, for that
one.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala yaf'alu
ma yasha yakhkum bima yasha, so he says
do, they do, they're doing ibadah, he said
don't do, to us we shouldn't do, if
we do we're going against the laws of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, you cannot say
oh they used to do that before, that
was shariah of those people who came before
us, it is not necessarily that Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala kept it up to our
own time, get it?
So we have our Rasul salallahu alayhi wa
sallam, our job is just to stick to
that information given to us by Rasulullah salallahu
alayhi wa sallam, regardless of the nature of
the shariah of those people who came before
us, whether it agrees with that which Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has said, or it
doesn't agree, it doesn't matter, yeah?
Shariah of those who came before us, if
they agree with our shariah, that's why if
you look at this opinion which is a
correct opinion, actually we don't need it at
all, yeah?
Because they are saying it is our shariah,
their shariah is our shariah if it agrees
with our shariah, so when you follow that
one, what are you following actually?
Your shariah, yeah I say their shariah is
our shariah also when it agrees with my
shariah, so when I am following that, which
one am I following?
My shariah, why am I doing that?
Because my shariah said it, if Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam did not say it, then
I think maybe my voice reached, okay.
It is also going to die, so.
So the shariah of those people who came
before us, it is our shariah when it
agrees with our shariah, so if you look
at this opinion, then there is no point
of following it actually because what am I
following at the end of the day?
My shariah, because I am saying it is
like my shariah, I follow, if it goes
against my shariah, I go against it, so
what am I doing?
I am just following my shariah, that's it,
and whatever I couldn't find something from my
shariah to accept or to reject it, the
scholar said I should remain neutral, right?
You don't reject it, you don't accept it,
because the hadith of the Prophet salallahu alayhi
wa sallam said, Don't accept and don't reject,
because you might accept something that is wrong
and you might reject something that is correct,
so if you don't have any approval from
your shariah or rejection from your shariah, then
we become mutawqifi, you get it?
So that is only fa'ida for this
last opinion, when it comes to matters that
we don't know from our shariah whether they
are like that or they are not, you
get it?
And these issues usually, they happen to be
the issues of seerah, akhlaq, or adab, or
some, you know, when it comes to the
act, the scholar said, for a long period
of time, since the time of the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam, up to date, and
until the Day of Judgment, and you know
the behavior of those people, you know, they
push so much in the way Allah swt
changed some of them into another creatures.
Many of them got destroyed, many of them
got converted to something else, you know, and
they have a lot of things which we
can learn as a lesson that can help
us to live a good life in our
journey to Allah swt.
So Allah swt asked the angels to make
sujood, and all of them made that sujood
except Iblis, and we talked about this last
time, how the scholars look at it, but
I guess, and I believe the ayah in
surah al-kahf, you know, closes the debate,
right?
Allah swt says, There's nothing you need after
this, okay?
So Iblis has never been an angel, he
was from amongst the jinn.
So he just obeyed Allah swt, but angels,
all of them obeyed Allah swt in that
command and made sujood the way Allah swt
commanded them to do.
So he refused to do it, and he
showed arrogance, right?
And we talk about arrogance, and how bad
it is, and the nasus that talk about
the rejection of arrogance, and there is no
place where it is forbidden except in the
places of war, according to what is mentioned
by some scholars, but generally arrogance is rejected
Islamically.
It is a major thing for a person
to be arrogant, and it is not actually
appropriate for a human being to be arrogant.
Yeah, just look at the creation, the nature
of the creation, the way you came to
this life, and think about arrogance, you will
see it very inappropriate for a human being
or for creation of Allah swt to be
arrogant.
That's why Allah swt says, وَلَا تَمْشِكِ الْأَرْضِ
مَا رَحَنُ إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ الْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ
الْجِبَالَ طُولَةٌ Yes, we mentioned earlier, no matter
how much strong is the wind, the mountains,
they are still in that position.
I never heard in the history that a
mountain moved from its position to another place.
But those ones that are humble, Allah swt
says, وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ لَمَا يَتَفَجَرُوا مِنْهُ الْأَنْهَارُ
وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَشَّقَقُ وَفِيَخَرُجُ مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ وَإِنَّ
مِنْهَا لَمَا يَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ So if
those ones are humble, very humble, human beings
is more appropriate actually to observe humility and
humbleness.
That's why Rasulullah swt said, إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَوْهَا
إِلَيَّ أَن تَوَاضَعُ حَتَّى لَا يَفْخَرَأْ أَحَدٌ عَلَىٰ
أَحَدٌ Allah swt revealed to me that everyone
should be humble.
And subhanAllah, the most humble person in this
life Yeah, I think they can hear my
voice.
The most humble person was Rasulullah swt.
You know, Rasulullah swt was very humble.
He speaks to everyone, he was humble to
everyone.
He talked to his family members, he sit
with them, discuss with them, laugh with them,
you know, play with them.
When he comes out with the companions also,
he is a friend.
SubhanAllah, sit with that very, very normal companion.
And that was the tarbiyah of Allah swt.
Allah told him, وَاسْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ
رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْأَشِيِّ يُلِيْدُونَ وَجْهَاً Because the kuffar,
they want the Prophet s.a.w. to
stay away from those weak people in the
community.
The poor people.
Those were the friends of the Prophet s
.a.w. And as Hiraql said, وَهُمْ أَتْبَعُوا
الرُّسُلِ You remember in the hadith of Hiraql
and Abu Sufyan, when he was asking him
about the followers of Rasulullah s.a.w.
He says, أَا شَرَافُ النَّاسِ اتَّبَعُوهُ أَمْ ذُعَفَعُهُ
قَالَ بَذُعَفَعُ He says, is he followed by
the notable people in the society, the important
people in the society, or he is followed
by the weak ones in the society.
So Abu Sufyan was a kafir at that
time.
He said, بَلْ ذُعَفَعُ He said he was
followed by the ذُعَفَعُ And the Hiraql says
what?
وَهُمْ أَتْبَعُوا الرُّسُلِ He said those were the
followers of the messengers of Allah, messengers that
Allah s.w.t. sent.
You go back to the history, exactly that
was the thing that was said to Nuh
s.a.w. They called those people who
followed him Arathil, right?
They asked him to let them go away
then we come.
That's why Nuh s.a.w. told them
that if I chase them who is going
to help me if Allah s.w.t.
holds me responsible of this?
So Allah told the Prophet s.a.w.
to be patient, to stay with those ones
who are always seeking the pleasure of Allah
s.w.t. So humbleness is the only
thing that fit human beings.
And that was our Prophet s.a.w.
He didn't stay with kids, play with kids,
say salam to everyone.
Nowadays it becomes the attitude of a specific
group of people.
As I told you last time somebody was
telling me which affiliation, which denomination of those
people you belong to.
I told him I don't have connection to
anyone.
He says I'm very sorry to say that
because there is one attitude I see from
you which I couldn't see it anywhere except
in those ones.
So I was curious, I said what is
that?
He said because you say salam to everyone.
It was a very shocking moment for me
that the behavior and the sunnah of the
Prophet s.a.w. becomes something that is
practiced by a certain group of people only
who we call innovators, right?
Deviated people who are not following the correct
path.
But at the same time it has been
recognized that they are the only ones who
are saying salam to everyone.
They smile when they meet you.
Why can't you do that?
Why when I follow the righteous way then
I believe that I have to be angry
whenever I meet my brothers and sisters?
Why?
Then you, how many times do you come
out of your room to the Quliyah and
you pass people saying salam to you?
Very little, very little.
Even between the Asatidah and the Tullah.
You have to, you will be the one
who will say the salam and then somebody
will be reminded that it is part of
his responsibility to do it.
Rasulullah s.a.w. was not like that.
Go and check the sunnah of the Prophet
s.a.w. and see.
It's very soft and gentle, tolerant.
When you block the means, there is no
way for you to get connected to the
outer world.
How do you convey the message to them
then?
Rasulullah s.a.w. wasn't like that.
The door was open.
Even the criminals approached the Prophet s.a
.w. and that was how he managed to
fix them.
So I'm just saying this because unfortunately most
of our brothers and sisters when we start
following the correct way, the way of istiqama,
the sunnah of the Prophet s.a.w.
our behavior change towards everyone.
Yeah, it's not good for you to take
those people as close friends.
They can't be.
If they are not upon the righteous way,
at least open a door that you can
send a message to them.
If you understand that you are arrogant, there
is no space for him to come and
listen.
He will never be guided.
So that's what I call temporary meeting or
friendship.
You say salam to anyone that you see
a sign of Islam in him.
The only time that I found a Salaf
as-Saleh This is reported by Imam Al
-Bukhari in his book Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
Not saying salam to a person who has
the signs of Islam in him is when
he is doing the Maasi.
You pass a person who is committing the
Maasiya, you don't say salam to him.
You get it?
Imam Al-Bukhari has a chapter on this
in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad.
You don't say salam to the Ahlul Maasi
when they are committing the Maasiya.
But if he is not involved in the
Maasiya, as long as you know that this
is a Muslim, it is actually a sign
of the Day of Judgment for you to
pass him without saying salam to him.
One of the signs of the Day of
Judgment is Salam Al-Ma'rifah.
We say salam when we know a person.
If we don't know him, we don't say
salam.
So now it becomes, even if I know
him, he has to be from my group
first for him to receive my salam.
So I do believe this is not the
behavior of Rasulullah SAW.
We have to change.
A da'i should be humble like Rasulullah.
A da'i should be humble like Rasulullah
SAW.
So Allah SWT says, إِلَّا إِبِلِيسَ أَبَا وَاسْتَكْبَرَ
وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ So this is a summary
of what we did last time.
So the next ayah, Allah SWT says, وَإِذْ
قُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا
مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَ هَذِي الشَّجَرَةَ
فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَأَزَلَّهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَنْهَا
فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ وَقُلْنَا أَهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ
عَدُوٌۢ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌۢ وَمَتَعٌۢ إِلَىٰ حِينَ
Allah SWT said, وَقُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ So after
that event happened, and Adam AS knew his
enemy.
Allah SWT warned him.
قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلَّ زَوْجِكَ فَلَا
يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَعُ Allah SWT told him,
this is your enemy.
And subhanAllah, that is Latifa here.
You know, they mentioned that Shaytan he told
Adam AS as we are going to see
he told Adam AS that he will be
giving him nasihah and he will never cheat
him the nasihah.
وَقَاسَمَهُمَا إِنِّي لَكُمَا لَمِنَ النَّاسِينَ Even subhanAllah SWT
that he is going to give them nasihah.
وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ خَانَهُمَا You know, he is subhanAllah
and he deceived.
With us, he is subhanAllah SWT he will
never let us succeed.
I want you to understand the difference, right?
That one, he told him أَقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ I
will give you nasihah, and he deceived.
With us, he told Allah, in front of
Allah SWT he says بِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِي You
saw by the greatness of Allah SWT that
he will never let anyone of us succeed.
Question, who is supposed to take Shaytan from
the real enemy?
Adam or us?
Adam, I am sorry, us.
More than Adam.
More than Adam?
More than Adam.
Yeah, but in front of Allah SWT this
entity was saying أَقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ بِعِزَّتِكَ I will
never let anyone of them succeed.
With Adam, at least he came with some
humility, I am an advisor and all of
these.
Yeah, but he cheated.
But with us, he was more straightforward.
With Adam, he did not tell him I
am your enemy, I am your advisor, I
am going to give nasihah, I am going
to guide you to the best way, you
want to stay here, this is the way
to make it.
But with us, he told Allah SWT, he
saw by the greatness of Allah SWT and
his highness he said he will never let
one of us succeed.
So that's why Allah SWT says إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ
لَكُمْ عَدُوٌ فَاتَّخِذُوا عَدُوًا Shaytan usually doesn't come
to us directly.
Right?
Usually it doesn't come to us directly.
Lay down steps that will be very attractive
for you to follow and at the end
of the day you fell into his trap.
That's the reason why Allah SWT warned us
not to follow those traps of the Shaytan.
Yeah.
How to get rid of this and to
escape this plot of Shaytan?
There is a hadith in Al-Arba'una
Nawiyya Al-Arba'una Nawiyya a hadith of
An-Nu'man Ibn Bashir Mashoor Ibn Rajab says
this is one of the hadiths that the
religion of Allah SWT is based on.
A hadith of Innamal Amal Bin Niyat, written
by Umar.
A hadith of Aisha In the last hadith
is a hadith of Umar Ibn Bashir You
know this hadith if you understand it correctly
trust me you will be able to escape
the traps of Shaytan completely.
Unfortunately the third part of it most of
us are not willing to go with it.
Because Rasulullah SWT said Halal is being made
clear.
Very clear.
Whatever Allah SWT want us to do He
made it very clear.
No complication in the religion of Allah.
At all.
You just need to ask scholars if you
get confused.
The confusion is from you.
Not from the religion itself.
Just go to the scholars they will explain
to you what Allah SWT meant.
He said Halal is clear.
Haram is clear.
Allah SWT says Allah SWT says Ibn Taymiyyah
says there is no way for this to
happen where Allah SWT let the people go
astray without explaining to them what exactly He
wants them to do.
He explained in detail what He wants each
and every one of us to do.
So Halal is clear.
Haram is clear.
Rasulullah SWT said وَبَيْنَهُمْ أَمُورٌ مُجْتَبِهَاتٌ مُجْتَبِهَاتٌ Between
Halal and Haram there are doubtful matters.
Actually if you look at this hadith plus
the other Nusus, you understand that we have
how many things in this affairs of ours?
Two.
Halal and Haram.
شُبُهَات These are شُبَهَات النسبية يعني what is
شُبهَة to me is not شُبهَة to you.
That's why the Prophet SAW said لا يَعْلَمُها
كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ He did not say قُلُّ
النَّاسِ He said كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ That's why
the scholars said based on this hadith Halal
is being made clear, just do it.
Haram is made clear, stay away from it.
What seems to be doubtful to you, you're
not sure which one is I mean is
it four?
Is it Halal or Haram?
You're not sure.
How to deal with this matter?
Allah says فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنْتُمْ لَا
تَعْلَمُونَ You go to scholars.
I don't know the حُكم for this.
They will explain to you.
What if I couldn't find a scholar to
ask?
Avoid it.
Then the Prophet SAW gave us a last
method which I said most of us don't
want to follow.
He says فَمَنَ اتَّقَى الشُّبُهَاتِ إِسْتَبْرَ أَلِدِينِهِ وَإِرْدِهِ
You find scholars to ask, you couldn't find
them.
Then Rasulullah SAW said the best is to
stay away from it.
Well I mean أَفْضَلِ الْمَقُولَاتِ الَّتِي سَمِعَتُهَا كَلِمَةٌ
سَوِيْلَ وَالَدِ الْإِمَامُ بُخَارِي The best thing I
heard from our Salaf as-Saleh was the
statement that is attributed to the father of
Imam Bukhari.
That he told his son, Sayyid Muhammad, he
says I'm about to die.
And I'm going to leave behind ألف ألف
درهم for you.
ألف ألف درهم means one million dirham.
He says I'm going to leave one million
dirham for you.
سبحان الله.
He says لا أعلم درهما فيه شبهة He
said I don't know a single dirham that
has shubha in it.
We're not talking about haram.
He says even dirham that has shubha in
it, he said I don't know.
Go and see our Islamic finance nowadays.
It's like, you Allah.
That's the truth.
Every single shubha we are doing.
Not even shubha, things which are haram, we
modify them, we cloth them in nice clothes,
give them Islamic titles and names and then
just do.
How is it possible for our economic system
to succeed?
Allah, it has to crack.
That's why if you read what they are
saying about this recession and all of these
things, they already know it will happen because
there is no way for a system like
this to survive.
It has to crash one day.
Everywhere you go, you know that the world
is suffering.
And the only solution is one, which is
to go back to the system given to
us by Allah.
It's very simple.
Very simple.
Any class you go for this purpose and
things are very complicated, you should know that
you are not following the correct way.
The way of Allah's point is very simple
to be understood.
I can explain to you what is mudaraba,
murabaha in a few seconds.
Few seconds.
Each one of them takes few seconds.
You know what is that.
And also at the same time I can
have series of classes to tell you what
it means.
That's how it is.
So the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala is very clear.
And what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants
us to do is clear.
What He doesn't want us to do is
also clear.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said baynahuma
umurumujtabihaat As I said, if you follow this
hadith, biiznillahi azza wa jalla, you will be
able to stay away from the traps of
shaytan.
Because he comes to you sometimes through these
shubhaat.
If I tell you Hammad, this is a
ribawi transaction.
You will say what?
I'm a Muslim.
I don't want.
But if I come to you, Hammad, this
is murabaha.
We're going to do murabaha.
But you have to go to Sheikh Yusuf
and buy the car from him, finalize all
the deal.
The only thing that's left is the money
to be paid, then come to me.
And then you come to me.
Not me.
Come to the back.
And then the bank will finance.
But I call it murabaha.
If you go to the books and see
what is murabaha, compared with this murabaha, subhanallah,
they don't match at all.
That's why in the past they call it
car loans.
But now, financing.
Making it look a bit beautiful.
Because if I say no, a loan, even
a common person in the society, very layman
knows that this is riba.
Loan, then I have to pay some extra
money.
But if I tell you, I'm just financing.
Anyway, may Allah SWT guide them.
So, my advice to all of us is
to stay away from the shubhat.
Anything that you have doubt in it, the
best is to look for a scholar.
And I choose for you, and I choose
for you, not to go for the internet.
Internet is a place for somebody who knows
what he's looking for.
You get it?
Scholar, student of knowledge, he knows what he's
looking for.
Otherwise, if I'm a layman and I go
to the internet and I write, what is
the fatwa concerning this matter?
And it gives me hundreds of options.
How do I know?
Although in this life of ours nowadays it's
easy because everyone is mufti.
Yes, by Allah, everyone is a scholar.
Yusuf came and gave a lecture, and I'm
a layman, very typical, ignorant person, and I'm
the one who is telling you, oh, mashaAllah,
this is really a great scholar.
How do I know?
I mean, I don't have the knowledge.
How do I judge what he's talking about?
Do you understand?
It doesn't make sense.
I don't have the knowledge, and I'm the
one who will tell Yusuf qualifies or he
doesn't.
How, on what basis am I saying that
word?
It is very dangerous.
Always remember the mas'uliyah, the responsibility towards
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, when you go
and look for religious information through the internet,
anyhow, and you are not qualified to do
that.
You'll be responsible in the eyes of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And sometimes the fatwas you're getting from whatever
platform which is trusted by you, sometimes they
are addressing specific matters.
If you are to talk to that scholar
who is releasing that fatwa and tell him,
in your case, he will not give you
the same thing.
So, allahu musta'ala.
Nowadays the technology is so advanced, we have
IA, robots, AI or IA, something like that,
you know.
That is going to give fatwa.
No judge.
Somebody was right when he says, we have
doubt even in what is given by human
beings.
Whatever the robot, you go to the robot,
robot will tell you, your case is this
and that.
Audhubillah.
So, we read and laugh, but these are
serious matters.
Wallahi, these are very serious matters.
These are sensitive matters.
Religion is the most sensitive thing in our
life.
Should be like that.
If you want to succeed, you should take
religion to be the most sensitive thing.
Usually when I'm sick, I don't go online
to check and see which medicine I will
take.
I go to the hospital and ask who
is on duty today among the doctors and
if they don't mention the person I trust,
sometimes I tell them I will be patient.
I will come tomorrow.
Right?
I'm very picky and selective.
But when it comes to the spiritual illness,
I don't care.
I take it from the internet platform.
So I choose, if you have a scholar,
student of knowledge that you can refer to,
whenever you have a shubha, an assumption that
you want clarification for, please go physically and
meet them.
Or call them.
This is the best way.
Unless if you couldn't find anyone and you
really need to get the fatwa on what
you must be doing, then you go to
the places you trust and get the information
from that place where Allah SWT protects.
So this is my suggestion to all of
us to look into this hadith properly.
Make sure whatever you do is halal and
avoid haram and whatever is shubha, be patient.
Especially in business.
Don't worry about the little amount of money
which is coming.
If Allah put barakah in it, this is
how you will grow.
I have shabab that I know really praise
them.
They're very rich in Allah SWT.
Some of you know some of them.
They're very rich.
Alhamdulillah.
But what makes it beautiful in their life
is that they try to avoid these type
of tiny, tiny things in our eyes.
Whenever something is wrong or mujtaba bi, they
stay away from it.
Don't worry.
The risk could be a dillaha.
What is written for you will never run.
That's why the best hadith in this regard,
in that narration, Allah, this
hadith is really beautiful.
And every tajir in these days needs to
know about this hadith.
Jibreel inspired me from Allah SWT No nafs
will leave this life before completing what Allah
SWT has written for it.
He said, SubhanAllah.
So if the risk is already madhmun, then
what else left for you?
Just depend on Allah SWT.
Use the sabab and depend on Allah SWT.
He said, Be good and use the right
channels.
Use the right channels when you're looking for
risk.
Don't look for it from the haram way.
There is a maqoola attributed to Ali ibn
Abi Talib when he wanted to give a
gift of somebody who he assigned to take
care of his camel out of the masjid
and that person was impatient.
He stole the rope the lijam of the
camel and he ran away with it.
Ali ibn Abi Talib asked somebody to buy
a new one for him.
So he came out, he couldn't find him.
He came out to give him two dirham
as a gift.
They said he couldn't find him.
So he sent somebody he said, okay go.
He saw the thing was being removed.
He sent somebody to go and get him
another lijam.
That person went to the market and he
got the lijam.
When he came back to him, Ali ibn
Abi Talib found that this was the one
that he was using.
So he said, subhanAllah this guy was impatient
to get his rizq from the halal way.
He said, I was going to give him
the two dirham and he sent the boy
again.
He said, please go and ask the person
that you bought the thing from him how
much the guy sold the thing to him.
He said two dirham.
He said he was impatient to get the
two dirham in the halal way.
He got it from the haram way.
And what is written for you, no matter
how much you try to escape Wallahi, Imam
Shafi'i says wherever you go, your rizq
is going to come.
He says, even if it is inside a
rock under the sea, Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala is going to break that rock and
it has to come out for you.
If it is your rizq, nobody can stop
it.
It has to reach you.
And you will never leave this life without
getting it.
We are just impatient.
So there are many ways to get rizq.
Halal, haram way, shubha way, it is just
up to us to make the choice.
To choose the halal way or to choose
the wrong way.
So the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
since the rizq is already madmoon, whatever you
will get is already written.
He said, fear Allah, look for it from
the halal channels.
He says this nice and beautiful statement, which
is the reason why actually we are looking
for the rizq from the haram way.
He says, وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّكُمْ إِسْتِبْطَعُ الْرِزْقِ أَنْ تَطْلُبُوهُ
بِغَيْرِ مَأْحَلَ اللَّهِ He says, don't you ever
be deceived by the delay in the rizq,
which might lead you to look for the
rizq from the haram way.
Because this is what we say, you graduated
from the university, and then you couldn't find
a halal job, all the offers you get
is from the haram companies, you know.
And a person will be saying, what?
I couldn't get any halal.
All the opportunities that are coming there, they
are from this.
And then at the end of the day,
what is he going to do?
Take it.
So the Prophet ﷺ said, don't you ever
be deceived by the delay in the rizq,
because Allah SWT has placed a time for
everything.
Wallahi, you don't know.
You don't know.
Why Allah SWT is delaying the rizq, you
don't know.
I remember just sharing experience, there is something
called jama'iya, I don't know whether you
know it.
Foundation.
No, not that.
You know, I want to save money.
I collect money from everyone.
So this month I take, this month you
take it.
Like this, until the sako goes around everyone.
I remember we were doing this in the
school.
I always be the last.
And get harmed as being the last.
Subhanallah, I gave everyone his right on time,
but when it comes to my right, nobody
is willing to give.
Subhanallah, I try, try my best, I just
close the page.
The only thing I do not do is
to curse them.
So, I just ignore.
I reach a situation whereby I was in
a desperate need of money.
Wallahi, Allah knows what kind of situation I
was in.
Subhanallah, that person who was in charge, he
came to me at that time.
He told me, Ibrahim, Alhamdulillah, we managed to
get it.
Subhanallah, I used to be annoyed.
I did not even want to meet them
on the way.
Subhanallah, today when he gave me this money,
I am the one who is saying thank
you.
Subhanallah, I understand this, why Allah SWT sometimes
will delay something for you, which is yours,
up to the moment you need it the
most.
And as I always say, you know, all
of us in our life, we pass events
like this, but we just don't pay attention
to it.
Amazing things are taking place in our life,
each and every one of us, but we
just let them pass randomly.
A Muslim should be very vigilant.
These things are increasing your Iman.
To have stronger trust in Allah SWT, to
know that yes, what Allah SWT has chosen
for you is always the best.
Iyallah.
Everyone has a story like this, but rizq
is really like, don't you ever think negatively,
always be positive.
Imam Shafi'i says, He says, He says,
if the risk of today is very tight,
you know, you face difficulty, he said, perhaps,
this difficulty that you are facing will be
gone.
And the best example that I always have
is the story being shared by one of
our professors in Medina about Ibn Laden, not
the son, the father.
Don't go and call FBI on me.
But the father.
He used to be a very normal person,
you know, working in the marketplace to get
some little amount of money.
Who was he before he died?
Allah, according to that story, he was telling
us that the government borrowed money from him
one day.
And the government got broke, they got money
from him.
And the asset he left, according to that
story, is equivalent to the quarter of what
the government has.
But what was his past?
Somebody who was looking for 50 Halala to
survive.
Every day goes to the marketplace.
Halala is a cent in the Saudi currency.
He goes to the marketplace, help you with
your provisions if you buy in the market,
and then he brings it to your car,
you pay him some little amount of money.
And how Allah SWT will make him?
So don't belittle yourself, be positive, you know,
and put your trust in Allah SWT, just
stick to that which is Halal.
Don't compromise any part of your Deen because
of risk.
Allah SWT says, ...
...
This is very beautiful.
The decision on how much you will get
is made ...
not on earth.
What does that mean?
A Muslim should relax.
What is written for you will never go
away.
So the Prophet SAW said, ...
...
...
...
...
...
Because what Allah SWT gives, you cannot get
it except through righteousness.
Obviously the Prophet SAW is talking about the
one that has Barakah in it.
You get it only through righteousness.
So back to the ayah, Allah SWT says,
...
...
...
So after that event, you know, debate also,
Allah SWT told Adam, ...
This is your enemy and your wife.
...
...
Do not let him take you out of
Jannah.
You will be among the losers.
...
...
Allah SWT told Adam to get inside Jannah
and stay in Jannah.
From here we understand Hawwa, when was she
created?
After Adam get into Jannah or before?
Because the ayah says, ...
...
But Yusuf, why do you skip this ayah,
you went too far?
Why don't you start with this?
Allah says, ...
...
...
...
...
...
So anyway, it's a controversial matter, there are
some scholars who said Hawwa was created in
Jannah.
Adam slept after Allah SWT put him in
Jannah, and these are all Isra'iliyat.
We don't have anything from Rasulullah SWT that
says any of these details.
We got them from Isra'iliyat.
Get it?
So even Kathir and many others, they mentioned
them.
And from this ayah, Allah SWT says, ...
...
...
So it looks like Hawwa was created before
Adam get inside Jannah.
Whether she was created before or after, it
will not benefit our Iman.
So dwelling on this matter could be a
waste of time.
Allah SWT says, ...
...
...
...
...
Allah SWT asked him to stay in Jannah,
he and his wife.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
And don't you ever approach this tree.
So Insha'Allah in the next Dars, we
will shed light on this part, and also
an important lesson concerning this matter to be
derived from this part of the ayah.
Insha'Allah will be generated next class.
Insha'Allah.
...
grant you good and tawfeeq and be with
you wherever you are.
Inna hu bi kulli jameelin kafeel, subhanakallahumma wa
bihamdika sharaa la ilaha illa anta, astaghfirullah wa
atubu ilayka, assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
Yes?
I have a question.
Assalamu alaikum.
Wa alaikum salam.
I have a question.
Okay.
Sheikh Awad, dolls that girls play with, it's
an exception from the prohibition, right?
But then here comes a question.
But what if a teenage woman or someone
who's like older than 20 play with the
doll?
Is it included in the exception or it's
not?
First of all, you have to establish the
exception first because it's a controversial matter.
Controversial matter amongst the scholars, I mean, whether
it is permissible or not in the first
place.
And also, which type of doll is permissible
and who do you buy for?
This is, and I'm just telling you the
maidan ul-akhtilaf, get it?
So that's why in these days of ours,
I will advise anyone who is willing to
buy for his daughter.
It's restricted to girls first, not boys, and
younger girls.
Some are even emphasizing on yatama only.
When they look for it, if they don't
ask for it, the guardian shouldn't buy.
And it should be from his money, not
from her money.
And the head should be cut off, should
remove the head.
Many conditions are laid down by some scholars.
That's why my advice to anyone who is
willing to buy for his kid, his daughter,
this, to look for other alternatives because nowadays
there are many other alternatives which the girl
will be more happy with, actually.
You get it?
And if he happens to buy those alternatives
and he needs to buy the doll, buy
the very simple one.
You get it?
The very simple one without the shape of
human being.
Because when the shape is well designed, this
is where the prohibition lies.
And it could be very dangerous, actually, to
be brought to the house.
And when he talks, as our scholars have
mentioned, when he speaks, then khalas, it's out
of our discussion.
Nowadays he's not even speaking.
He's dancing, singing.
Yeah, robots.
The dolls nowadays, they don't have dolls that
don't talk.
The dolls talk also, right?
And now they dance.
They sing songs.
And sometimes the songs also are wrong.
I went to a museum in Medina.
They showed us a doll and it was
singing a song.
Some of the things I still remember is
kafir bi kitabillah, kafir bi kadha.
Very clear, kafir bi kitabillah, kafir bi kadha.
Your daughter is kafir bi kitabillah, kafir bi
kadha.
So we have to be very careful.
The objective of doing that is to train
the daughter to remain upon the fitrah.
The fitrah of taking care of kids.
You get it?
And I think the simplest thing can give
us that.
The poor people, their daughters, they just take
a stick, make it a nice way, and
they make it as a baby.
And they put clothes on it.
And it gives the same thing.
Did you get the idea?
Second question, Sheikh.
Keychains.
Dolls that are designed for keychains.
And you put it as a designer.
For kids or for big?
Lovely.
You've seen adults in UAE?
And Sheikh, do you mean kids or kids
and adults?
Why would you buy something in the form
of a statue as a keychain?
Why?
Anyone you see with this should be advised.
In a nice way, of course.
They should advise you.
These type of things, when they exist in
his house, tell him.
You might be thinking that you have your
own freedom.
But it's not good for you.
Because when he keeps them in his house,
trust me, angels will not come to that
house.
And what will be the replacement?
Shayateen.
Devils.
Yeah.
This one, almost by consensus of the scholars,
is included.
Do you get it?
Those...
The only controversy they have is with the
pictures.
And even the pictures, when they are in
the house, do you get it?
Openly exposed in the house.
Angels will not come.
Because the pictures on the curtains of Aisha,
with the Allahu Anha, they were not statues.
That's why the scholars said it very clearly
that these are drawings.
They have their own way of doing things.
They don't attach statues or things on the
thing.
They draw on the fabric.
And she was having them on the curtains.
And the Prophet s.a.w. mentioned that
Jibreel refused to get inside the room.
He said, what should I do with it?
He said, cut it in a way it
will not look like images.
And then make use of it.
Even say, let it look like trees, rivers,
or something like that, according to that hadith
of the Prophet s.a.w. And Aisha
cut it.
She made it some pillows, the Prophet s
.a.w. That's why even some of our
scholars said, that statement of the Fuqaha, that
pictures, when you are disrespecting them, then they're
okay.
They said, this hadith is rejecting this idea.
Because he asked Jibreel s.a.w., what
should I do with it?
He said, cut it in a way it
will not look like those images.
You get it?
So, she did inform him that, yes, the
well-being of his family matters.
Living with shayateen is not good for him.
I told you, last time there was a
brother that complained, leaving and didn't come back.
He said, he's disturbed by shayateen in his
house.
He said, there was a time he just
finished praying, he saw one black thing in
front of him.
He said, I said, I forgot exactly which
kalima he mentioned, he said, the thing flies
and went inside the picture on the wall,
and hide there.
That was the only place that he managed
to escape to.
So, this is a story that he witnessed
by himself.
We don't need this at all.
Rasulullah s.a.w. is more than enough
for us.
He tells us that angels, they don't come
to a place where these images exist.
Allah grant us good.
Does the restriction of dolls also extend to
animals?
Animals are not actually in the picture.
It's only the doll.
You can't buy for your kids anything that
is in the form of those things.
Can you please repeat the name of the
followers of Nuh?
Something like that?
No, this is not the name.
They are just describing them.
Aradhil.
Aradhil.
Aradhilun Abadi Arrai.
Aradhil means the witch.
This is an Arabic term.
Aradhilun Abadi Arrai.
Wattabaakal Aradhilun.
Wattabaakal Aradhilun also.
Just a description.
It's not the title given to those.
Done?
I don't know.
What is your suggestion for the students of
Islam?
To study the correct one.
And to do everything possible to do the
correct thing when they graduate.
Because the main problem we are facing is
that we don't have fresh graduates who are
honest.
Honest, who are honest and willing to practice
what they learned, which is the correct one
they learned.
Because sometimes you might be fed by wrong
information.
But sometimes also you might be blessed by
somebody who will teach you the correct one.
We need people who are honest and they
are willing to practice the correct one in
the industry.
Number two, we need support from the Agniya,
the rich people.
What constitutes bank?
Authorities, rich people and the scholars.
From the scholars we need honest people and
we need rich people.
Because up to date, most if not all
of the holders and the founders of the
Islamic banks, they are the same people with
the conventional banks.
The same.
When you go deeper in many banks, you
find the one behind sometimes in some places
they are Kuffars, not even Muslims.
But they put Muslims in front.
But the real owners, they are not Muslims.
That's why it is in the way it
is.
So we need these two places to change.
Honest, fresh graduates who are not brainwashed by
the conventional system.
And also rich people who are honest and
willing to support.
And patience.
Patience is needed.
Because what happens is, we have less customers,
and then we see those who are having
a lot, and then we start compromising.
This is how it is.
We start just changing the names to also
join the competition.
So we don't need competitors.
That's why when you exist, you don't compete
with anyone.
Because competition sometimes leads you to do the
wrong thing.
To defeat your rival.
So we need somebody who is honest, and
also willing to practice the correct thing.
And rich people who are willing to support.
You get it?
And patience.
Sabr.
Go gradually.
Grow gradually.
Slowly, slowly.
Slowly, slowly.
Until the time you reach.
I'm pretty sure if you manage to reach
that, it's very tough.
Because you will be fought by so many
bodies.
International bodies will be fighting you.
Inside the country, wherever you exist, the central
bank also might not be happy.
Whatever country you are in.
So many things you have to pass for
you to reach that.
But I think sabr.
Go with the minimum.
Slowly, slowly, grow.
So study the Islamic finance.
Study the correct one.
We need people who know what the correct
one is all about.
But study the correct one.
You know.
And study Islamic finance.
Nothing else.
Is he asking a question or is he
asking?
Yeah, teach the good one.
Study the correct one.
Yeah.
Because sometimes...
Islamic finance is...
...for Islamic finance.
No.
No.
The correct one is one.
I agree with you.
But what is now in the field?
How many you have?
A lot.
A lot.
Recently I was compiling definitions.
I was just laughing.
This one said this, this one said that.
And the honest one said...
...we are not yet...
...in agreement of what Islamic economics is all
about.
Yeah.
They don't know but we know what this
is all about.
Somebody told me long ago...
...that there is no connection between fiqh...
...and the Islamic economics or Islamic finance.
Yeah.
I wasn't able to keep quiet actually.
But...
I told him what I know is that
Islam is one religion.
When you say Islamic economics or Islamic finance...
...and you say there is no connection between
the past and the present...
...I don't know what are you talking about.
And show me which Islamic finance on earth...
...that has not been taking its strength from
the fiqh...
...and the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
Get it Waqas?
So open your eyes and do the right
thing insha'Allah.
The umayah is in need of somebody who
knows what to do.
Eidullah.
Allah grant us good.
Can we close the class here?
It's a question from Shafa.
How many?
Two, one from Shafa and one from Zari.
Okay.
How much left for Maghrib?
Short questions.
No, how much left for Maghrib time?
Five minutes.
Five minutes?
Okay.
Let me take one minute to answer Shafa's
question.
Ameen and you too.
In homes where there is a practice of
purchasing and using newspapers...
...there are usually a lot of pictures on
it...
...and it's difficult for the household use...
...and there are products, tissue boxes, etc.
Books for the kids.
Nowadays if you buy almost every page has
pictures.
Those ones insha'Allah, a person we have
nothing to do.
Amad bihil balwa.
We can't do anything with it.
You get the idea?
Newspapers, I would not advise a person to
bring them home.
I would never advise a person to bring
newspapers home.
But books of the kids, what can you
do with them?
Bring them home.
Get a place in your house where you
put the books.
Don't put them in the places where you
sleep.
My personal experience when my kids are having
nightmares at night...
...we look for those books and take them
somewhere else...
...and then they sleep peacefully.
That's my personal experience.
You get it?
I have one issue that is unresolved up
to date.
Angels, if the pictures are covered...
...do they still come to the house or
they don't?
No.
Yeah, that's what I said, it remains as
a puzzle.
Because the dog was there in the house...
...and Rasulullah s.a.w. couldn't see the
dog...
...but Jibreel told him there is a dog
in the house...
...and he did not tell him where is
the dog.
But he said there is a dog in
the house.
Oh, so he can detect it.
He can detect.
Because he told Rasulullah s.a.w. there
is a dog in the house.
Rasulullah s.a.w. checked, checked.
He couldn't find any dog.
He said there is.
So he remembered the grandchildren.
He called them.
Do you have anything in this house?
Yeah, we have one puppy.
They went under the bed, they bring one
small dog...
...they hid it in.
Yeah, so that's what remains as a puzzle.
So Alhamdulillah the scholar said...
...if you have a house which has so
many sections...
...the one that is affected is the place
where you have those images.
So what you should do is...
...you have your library...
...the place where you put your things...
...just put them there.
Living rooms and the bedrooms...
...this one should be avoided from all of
these images.
Unless you have space in the house...
...where the angels are coming inshallah.
But you don't go and cut every page...
...otherwise nowadays you are going to cut the
whole book...
...actually and throw it away.
Yeah, yeah, I have to pray Maghrib here.
Okay, so what is the other question?
From Zari...
If a person sleeps and misses Witter...
...should she make it up and help?
Sleeps and misses Witter?
Yes.
You pray the Witter between...
You pray Witter between...
...I mean from the time where you can
pray the Dhuhr...
...up to the time the end of the
Dhuhr time finishes.
So 10 minutes after the sunrise...
...until 10 minutes before the sun moves from
the middle of the sky.
You have time to make up that Witter...
...but the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has
said...
...you shouldn't pray it as Witter...
...you shouldn't pray it as Witter...
...you pray it as Shafa.
So if you used to pray one Rakah...
...you pray two.
But the intention is making up that Witter
that you miss.
If you used to pray three Rakah...
...you pray four Rakah this time around.
The intention should be making up the Witter.
If you used to pray five, you pray
six.
If you used to pray seven, you pray
eight.
Like that.
If you used to pray nine, you pray
ten now.
If you used to pray eleven Rakah...
...then you pray twelve Rakah.
Inshallah.
But you have the time...
...which is the time of the Dhuhr...
...to make up that which you miss at
night.
Subhanakallah.
So is the recitation only during...
...usually a person...
...I will choose for him...
...that hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam...
...as-salatu al-layli wal-nahari...
...mathnah, mathnah...
...since he says one Nahar.
The best night prayer is to cut it
into two pieces.
Two, two, two, two, two.
That's why he says...
...as-salatu al-layli...
...mathnah, mathnah.
There is another narration that says one Nahar.
So two, salam, two, salam...
...two salam, two salam...
...until six times.
That means you're done.
Inshallah.
