In the name of God, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
May the peace and blessings of God be
upon the Messenger of God, the Merciful of
all the worlds.
Our Prophet and beloved Muhammad, peace and blessings
be upon him and his family and companions.
Peace be upon you.
Today is the 21st of the month of
Rabi' al-Thani.

We will continue our lecture in this blessed
book, the book of Allah, the Exalted.
I ask Allah, the Exalted, to bless us
and what we have learned, and to forgive
us our shortcomings and forgive the author and
raise his rank among the lowly.
So, by the will of Allah, the Exalted,
we continue from where we stopped in the
last lecture, which is the saying of Allah,
the Exalted, أَتَامُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ وَتَنْسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ مَا
أَنْتُمْ تَتْلُونَ الْكِتَابَ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ So, last dars,
Allah, the Exalted, talked about the attitude and
the behavior of the Jews, where they learned
and they don't act upon their knowledge, and
they hide their knowledge and they don't teach
others.
And not only that, they mix the truth
with the falsehood.
Rather than telling the truth, they hide it.
The truth about Islam and the truth about
Rasulullah ﷺ, they told people otherwise.
Allah, the Exalted, commanded them, rather than doing
this, why can't you be obedient to Allah,
the Exalted, and establish the prayer like anybody
else, and give the charity, support, and cooperate
with the people in the community.
That one also has not been done, because
Jew and the wealth is like the Ilah.
Dunya is the Ilah of the Jew.
Wherever Dunya exists, they will be there.
That's why even in our time, they try
to dominate everything, right?
Everything has to be controlled by them.
If you look at the past, many of
the battles between them and other countries was
because of the rebel.
They destroyed the economy of a country, then
the country would not agree.
They took them away from them.
And that's the reason why they don't want
them to be next to them.
Otherwise, who hurt them in the past?
Muslims?
Salaam.
Who hurt them in the past?
Muslims?
No.
Even the so-called World War II or
whatever number, the Muslims are not involved, actually.
That's why somebody was right when he said
it's just the Europeans fighting themselves.
They call it World War.
It's just them.
Go and read the history.
It's just them fighting themselves.
It doesn't reach anybody else.
So it should be called European War.
They fought themselves.
They killed themselves.
And then who is supposed to be the
victim?
Muslims, right?
And also they know who they are dealing
with.
They don't want them to be closer to
them.
That's why they take them far away from
them to our own territory.
Nobody will understand these guys and let himself
to be next to them.
May Allah SWT guide them.
And it's good for us to understand who
we are dealing with all the time.
So Allah SWT says, وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ
وَأَرْكَأُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِحِينَ Allah SWT says, وَأَرْكَأُوا مَعَ
الرَّاكِحِينَ تَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالبِرِّ وَتَنْسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ مَا
أَنْتُمْ تَتُلُونَ كِتَابًا Another behavior of the Jew
is that they command people to do good,
but at the same time they forgot themselves.
Allah SWT says, كَيْفَ يَلِيكُ بِكُمْ يَا مَا
شَرَىٰ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ How is it appropriate for
you, Ahlul Kitab, to be commanding people to
do good?
وَتَنْسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ And you forgot yourself.
أنتم تأمروا الناس بالبرد وهو جماع الخير وَأَنْ
تَنْسَوْا أَنفُسَكُمْ You tell them do, but you're
not doing.
So Allah SWT is telling them that this
is not appropriate.
A da'i should be the first person
to apply what he is inviting people to
do.
Do you get it?
That's why Allah SWT says, وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا
مِنْ مَنْ دَعَى إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ
إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَيْلَا أَحَدَ أَحْسَنَ قَوْلًا مِنْ
مَنْ يَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ Allah SWT says that
there is nobody who says something better than
the statement of somebody who is inviting others
to Allah SWT.
That's why the best job on earth is
the da'wah.
The best job on earth is the da
'wah.
Why is it the best?
Why is it the best?
Because the creation of human beings and jinn
is for this purpose, for the purpose of
ibadah.
Allah never created people to come and do
anything other than the ibadah.
It's halal for us to do business, to
make our life comfortable so that we can
worship Allah SWT peacefully.
Otherwise we are supposed to be busy with
the ibadah but Allah SWT made other things
halal for us so that we can relax
in this dunya and do the right thing.
That's why when the dunya contradicts the akhira,
a Muslim has to go with the akhira.
There is no dunya.
He must go with the akhira.
Exactly inshallah.
So the best job on earth is the
job that Allah SWT has chosen for the
prophets and the messengers.
That's why it should be the job of
every Muslim.
Allah says, مَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِنْ مَنْ دَعَ
إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا He said, دَعَ إِلَى
اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا So he is not just
inviting people, but he is also practicing the
righteous deed.
وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ And he always says,
what does that mean?
He practices Islam and preserves that Islamic identity.
So a da'i should be the first
to obey Allah SWT and to follow that
which he does.
That's why it's very dangerous, very dangerous for
you to be a da'i and do
the wrong thing.
It's dangerous for everyone to do the wrong
thing, but a da'i, no.
During the time of the Prophet SAW, the
companions always wait to see what is going
to be done by Rasulullah SAW.
Waiting to see what is he going to
be doing.
They do exactly what he does.
In our time also, when we are with
our scholars, we are always like that.
Trying to see, to monitor, to see what
exactly this sheikh is going to be doing.
And we imitate them precisely.
When I was in the school, there was
an event where everyone has to come to
that place.
So it was in the masjid.
We were then in the masjid.
And then suddenly they started doing things which
I believe is wrong.
And the student believes this is wrong.
So based on the fact that you are
in the masjid, you know, trigger a doubt,
a big doubt.
SubhanAllah, I know he's going to come back.
After they even finished, a group of students
came.
To say, we have been monitoring.
To see what exactly are you going to
be doing.
But we saw you in the place.
So I told them, there's a program for
everyone in the school and you have to
be there.
And I was there just revising my Quran.
But who knows you are revising your Quran?
I don't raise up my voice to do
it, but I was just there reading my
Quran by Allah.
But who knows?
So since they don't know, then it creates
a fitna to them.
That's why these type of things, whatever excuse
you have, the best is to run away.
Don't go.
Because there are a lot of people who
are just waiting for the time, you know,
to see you doing, and they also do
exactly the way you are.
You are doing.
Do you get it?
I know.
I was visited, I was hosting one of
the students of knowledge.
He graduated from Medina.
So he came to my house one day.
And then he saw, what do you call
this?
A teddy bear?
A small little one with the eyes been
poked and the face is totally damaged.
SubhanAllah, he scared me a lot.
He said, I always have doubt in the
permissibility of this, but when I see it
in your house, now this doubt is removed.
I said, I was in there.
So when I have that one and I
see this one, I say, yes, definitely, students
of knowledge are supposed to be very careful.
Because there are some people who are just
waiting to see what would you be doing,
they follow.
To see what exactly would you be doing,
they will follow.
In the time of the time of Imam
Ahmad, when those who are Tazila forced him
and forced many scholars to believe that Quran
is created, not Sifah of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, against the Aqidah of Ahlus Sunnah
wal Jamaah.
You already know that.
Imam Ahmad resist.
Many scholars end up doing the the Tawriya,
trying to fool those evil rulers.
They end up doing the Tawriya.
Imam Ahmad refused.
And subhanAllah, he has some issues with some
of the scholars who couldn't resist.
Because he believes that they have no excuse.
That's why they relate with those who are
on top.
He can have issues with his colleagues, but
they relate also this matter to Imam Al
-Shafi'i.
But they said when he got into trouble
a lot, he told them when they come
because every day they have to come and
beat him.
SubhanAllah, they said they beat Imam Ahmad.
The amount of the beating, if they are
to beat an elephant, it will die.
Every morning he has to be beaten.
They were asking him, is that enough for
you to be convinced that the Quran is
not a Sifah of Allah?
And they talked to Imam Al-Shafi'i.
Imam Al-Shafi'i says, okay, let's just
fool these people and go around.
Every day they get beaten.
For what?
So they asked him, how about you?
Do you still believe that the Quran is
not created?
He said, listen.
He doesn't tell them the Quran is created,
but he said, listen.
He said, Quran Injil Zaboor Torah Can you
see these?
They said, yes.
And he was pointing at his fingers.
He said, can you see these?
He said, these are all created by Allah.
But since he says Quran, Injil, these useless
guys, they thought he was talking about Quran
and Injil.
But he is referring to his fingers.
My fingers are created by Allah.
They said, oh, that's what we want to
hear.
Okay, out.
You are sometimes so useless.
A person will be assigned to punish a
scholar.
SubhanAllah.
So Imam Ahmad, somebody told him, why can't
you just do what your colleagues are doing
and go out?
He said, no.
He tried, he said no.
He said to one of them, he said,
can you see those people next to the
window?
He said, yes.
Who are they?
He said, students of knowledge.
And subhanAllah, every one of them was holding
a pen on the paper, just waiting to
see what Imam Ahmad is going to be
saying.
He said, do you see them right?
Do you see them with their papers and
the pen?
They're just waiting to see what word is
going to come out of my mouth.
And then we narrate it.
And then, after, in a long period of
time, people will not understand the situation.
They will come and say, Imam Ahmad believes
that Quran is created.
So he refused.
So that's why this is my personal advice
to all of us.
Be good, resist, and make sure that you're
doing the correct thing because people are imitating
you.
Not just your family members.
If people know that you are a student
of knowledge in the community, trust me, people
are looking.
So this experience, I understand that, yes, people
are always watching the scholars and the students
of knowledge to follow the correct way to
do it according to what they see them
doing.
Because they always believe that what you're doing
is right.
Which is not the case.
Yeah?
Which is not the case.
But you have to preserve this because you
cannot convince the community.
And it's actually very dangerous for you to
tell them this.
Just tell them in general that scholars are
human beings.
They might make mistakes.
They might be...
If you were to come and tell them
that I do this, I do that, maybe
after this they will never take anything from
you and they will get harmed.
But in general, you speak about the nature
of scholars, they make mistakes, they're right sometimes
and they're wrong sometimes.
So the only correct information is that which
we take from the Quran and the Sunnah
of Muhammad ﷺ.
So as I said, the best job is
the da'wah.
And the best da'wah is somebody who
applies what he's inviting people.
That's why Allah SWT says أَتَأَمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ
وَتَأَنصَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَتُنُونَ كِتَابًا You're commanding
people with al-Bir and at the same
time you forgot yourself and you know what
Allah SWT says.
Question.
Is it a condition that I must be
practicing Sharia for me to advise people to
be good?
Wait, wait, think first.
You know, you are very quick in your
answers and then when it comes to justification
you got stuck.
So think first.
Then you can give us the whole package.
Right?
Is it a condition that a person should
not you know remind people about Allah SWT
unless if he's doing?
No, it's not.
But then what do you what do you
do with the ayah then?
No, al-Bir is كلمة جامعة.
Allah says لَيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُوا وَجَهُكُمْ كَبَلَ
الْمَشْرُقِ وَلَكِنْ الْبِرَّ But Bir is what?
مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالْكِتَابِ
وَالنَّبِيِّينَ وَآتَرْ مَعَى لَا حُبِّهِ And Maazim told
me إحسان Right?
So it's very wide It includes all kinds
of righteousness قَقِيدَة إِبَادَة These are all part
of Bir It's a very broad and big
word So Allah SWT says أَتَامُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ
Meaning Kindness Good إِبَادَة Righteousness Righteous deed وَتَنْصَوْنَ
أَنفُسَكُمْ And you forgot yourself وَأَنْتُمْ تَتْدُونَ الْكِتَابِ
So They were blamed They were blamed because
of what?
Commanding people to do good and they are
not doing Which means for a person to
escape this blame what does he do?
Do first and then command I'm not saying
Yes I'm just Do first and then command
What do you think about this?
It's no condition So how can you justify
your statement?
Where do we get this?
I'm not saying you're wrong Where do you
get this?
If you have a troublemaker like me and
comes and asking you so many questions What
would you say to him?
Let him keep quiet Because what you told
me this is just your statement If you
substantiate it then we will say yes In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the
most compassionate And peace and blessings be upon
the Prophet and the mercy of the worlds
Our father and our beloved Muhammad Peace be
upon him and his family and companions Peace
be upon you Okay, so As I was
saying It is not a condition for you
to be given dawah that you have to
be practicing what you are saying However, it
is a big deficiency as the scholars have
mentioned It is said Abu Jafar Al-Tabari
Abu Jafar Ibn Jalil Al-Tabari This is
Imam of the Sunnah in Tafsir Right, one
of the best if not number one Tafsir
Written by our scholars Very good and excellent
approach According to Tafsir Bil Ma'thur and also
Aqwal Al-Sahaba Yes These nice approaches and
Ibn Kathir was somehow summarizing what Ibn Jalil
mentioned in his book So Ibn Kathir is
one that we focusing on is somehow the
summary of Ibn Jalil That's why most instances
he quotes from from him So he says
here Abu Jafar said Come
on Please tell those ones too Ok He
says Abu Qilaba So
Abu Qilaba was reporting what Abu Darda said
ثُمَّ يَرْجُوْا إِلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ فَيَكُونْ لَّهَ أَشَدَّ مَقْتِنَ
A person will not be a faqih will
not be a righteous person who understand the
shariah of Allah SWT properly until he blames
people for the sake of Allah SWT of
their wrongdoings But then at the same time
he goes back to himself and blame himself
more than the way he blames others You
want to be a true faqih and a
correct person who follows the I mean correct
approach of the shariah When you blame others
you also have to blame yourself more than
the way you blame others So
the intent by having this ayah is that
Allah SWT blamed them for doing this evil
behavior What is that evil behavior?
Commanding people to do righteous deed and at
the same time they forgot themselves They ask
people to do good but they are not
practicing that good They advise people to do
good to be kind but they are not
being kind and they are not good That's
the answer to all of the questions I
have asked Allah SWT blames them for doing
good but he did not leave them but
he did not leave them He says Allah
SWT is not blaming them that they are
commanding people to do righteous deed and they
are not doing Allah SWT blames them for
doing good but he did not leave them
He says but he did not leave them
Allah SWT is blaming them for what?
for not doing the good He was not
blaming them for commanding people to do righteous
deed You get it?
When Allah says You command people to do
good and you forgot yourself The blame is
on forgetting themselves to do the good not
commanding people to do righteous deed You got
this interpretation of Ibn Jarir At-Tabari and
this is the only correct interpretation Allah is
blaming them for commanding people to do righteous
deed but at the same time they don't
do the righteous deed They themselves Exactly So
that's the understanding of our scholars It
says because is what?
Right?
And it says and a student of knowledge
who knows that to command people to do
righteous deed It's haram upon a person to
do righteous deed and not command people to
do righteous deed and also that which
is better for the scholar is to command
people and at the same time also he's
doing what he asked them to do That's
much better It's wajib and much better for
him also You get it?
Because people will find it so strange If
you ask them to do something and you're
not doing the same thing That's why you
see a lot of people in the house
they face a lot of challenges You see
he tells his wife to do something and
she's not willing to to follow Why?
Because he's also not not doing She's not
doing because he doesn't do I mean she's
wrong for sure because if what he is
asking her to do is good she should
do whether he does or he doesn't do
but sometimes if you're the qudwa in the
house people follow you They want to see
are you doing or not If you don't
do then there will be no motivation or
incentive to them to do the same thing
The same goes to your children They also
if you are not doing that which you
command them to do they might not do
what you ask them to do So it's
necessary for you to be well disciplined in
doing that which you advise anyone to do
then they will be able to to do
it You
shouldn't command people and then stay away from
doing that command It doesn't make sense as
I said You tell them it's good but
they don't see you do it You tell
them it's bad but they see you doing
it It doesn't make sense It will be
very difficult for them to understand what you're
talking about If it is good why can't
you do it first That's why Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala told the Prophet salallahu alayhi
wa sallam وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ and advise the
close relative to you your closest relative You
advise them Why the closest relative?
Because people will say if he is to
advise his relative and usually and naturally people
don't bring evil to their own family members
So when they see him advising his own
people in the same way many people are
going to say yeah that means it's correct
otherwise if it is evil he will never
bring it home So Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala asked him to start with his people
first You get it You start with your
people first So if you start with them
and people see them doing and you are
doing then others will be motivated Otherwise when
they don't see you doing your relatives also
are not doing and then you are commanding
the community to do Who is going to
obey you?
Nobody So don't advise people and go and
do the opposite That's why Shu'ayb said
to his people وَمَا أُرِدُ أَن أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَى
مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ مَا أُرِدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَى
مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ He said I don't want
to advise you to do something and then
I go behind you and then I go
and do something else وَإِنْ أُرِدُ إِلَّا الْإِصْلَاحَ
He said I will never command you and
then I go and do something something else
I don't want anything from you except Islah
to bring Maslaha to the community and this
is what all the Dawah of the Prophets
of Allah is all about bringing Maslaha and
eradication of evil and Mufsada وَإِنْ أُرِدُ إِلَّا
الْإِصْلَاحَ مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ So whatever you see
me doing is to bring Maslaha to you
to benefit you to guide you to that
which will bring Maslaha to your life وَمَا
تَوْفِيكِ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوْقَّلْتُ أَلَيْهِمُ وَلِيْهِمْ I
said I depend on Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala and He is the only one who
will grant me Tawfiq to be able to
do the right thing and also to convince
you because His job is to invite right
His job is to invite but He doesn't
have the power and ability to make them
convince nobody has this this is Allah's job
to make a person understand and see the
truth and do it only Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala can do that that's why He
told the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam إِنَّكَ
لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ
يَشَاءُ you cannot guide whoever you you want
but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the
one who guides whoever He wants which type
of Hidayah is this Hidayat Tawfiq you have
two types of Hidayah Hidayat Ar-Rishat and
Hidayat Tawfiq Hidayat Ar-Rishat is the one
that we can do yeah Hidayat Ar-Rishat
is the one that we can do what
is Hidayat Ar-Rishat what we are doing
right now you know explaining what Rasulallah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said what Allah says you
go to the people and tell them what
they should do you know you are guiding
them Hidayat Ar-Rishat Hidayat Tawfiq is to
make those people see what you are seeing
understand what you are seeing and to make
them accept what you are saying what you
are calling them upon this is Tawfiq Allah
s.w.t. told the Prophet s.a
.w. you cannot guide whosoever you wish you
want but Allah is the one who does
that that's why Rasulallah s.a.w. tried
his best to guide who?
Abu Tariq but he did not accept he
died in in Kufr yeah because that is
Hidayat Tawfiq a gift from Allah s.w
.t he gave it to whomever he wants
both and doing the both of them are
wajib so if a person call people to
do righteous deed he is doing the wajib
and also if he does the righteous deed
himself he is doing the wajib one of
them is not going to be cancelled because
of not doing the other one you get
it?
you cannot say ok don't do the righteous
don't invite people to the righteous deed because
you are not you are not doing the
righteous deed it doesn't go like that right?
you don't tell the person don't do dawah
unless if you are doing no it is
wajib upon him to give dawah and it
is wajib upon him also to be righteous
if he gives the dawah but he is
not righteous he got the sin of not
being righteous but he got the reward of
giving the dawah and he would not be
held responsible of not giving the dawah because
he did except if people imitate him in
the evil deed he is doing then he
will be responsible you know of that if
people stop doing the righteous deed because he
is not doing then he will be responsible
so he said this is the best statement
of the salaf as salih Ibn Jalil says
but there are some people who believe that
a sinner somebody who is committing sin is
not allowed to go and advise others this
is wrong as Ibn Jalil said it is
wrong for sure to combine both is always
better but it is not necessary that a
person cannot do the dawah unless if he
is righteous what is weaker than that statement
is that they are using this ayah to
support what they are they said this is
the evidence that shows that you cannot give
dawah without you being the one who practices
what he is inviting people to do Ibn
Jalil said this is so weak in terms
of istidlal because they don't have any evidence
any support from this ayah he said the
best opinion is that a scholar command people
to do righteous deed even if he doesn't
do a student of knowledge or a scholar
command people to do righteous deed even if
he doesn't do and he stop them from
doing evil deed even if he does it
Ibn Jalil said if a person believes that
or if a person becomes that I mean
a person believes that I mean he do
the righteous deed if he believes that he
cannot do the righteous deed and he cannot
do the he cannot stay away from the
evil deed and
this person is not doing the righteous deed
and he is not doing the evil deed
out of the fear that he might be
doing the wrong thing and then people see
him doing the I mean he is the
one who is commanding people to do the
righteous deed and then he is doing the
wrong doing himself he said if a person
is going to believe in this then who
is going to do amr al-maruf and
al-munkar in this dunyata question who is
the person among us in this classroom who
doesn't make a mistake nobody listen come forward
we give you the mic so that we
can we need to discuss with you how
did you escape shaytan but you get this
statement right if you say that you have
to be a very good and excellent righteous
person who doesn't commit sin for you to
do amr al-maruf and al-munkar then
there will be nobody who will be doing
amr al-maruf and al-munkar imam
malik said wallahi this is true because who
is that person that doesn't have problem in
this dunyata who is that person that does
not have any issue but
this person at the same time also he
is blamed blamed for not doing what because
he knows if he stopped doing the righteous
deed and he stopped doing i mean he
stopped doing the righteous deed and he engaged
in the maasi he will be blamed he
will be blamed because he knows what allah
says and he is doing the opposite because
the one who knows is not equal to
the one who doesn't know get it in
islam the one who knows is not equal
to the one who doesn't know that's why
the punishment of a scholar if he is
doing the maasi is harder and severe than
the punishment of a normal person who doesn't
have the knowledge you get it that's the
sensitivity of the matter if you are a
scholar and you don't command people to do
i'm sorry you are a scholar and you
don't do what you advise people to do
you engage in the evil deed the punishment
is greater than the punishment of a normal
person who doesn't know not doesn't know the
punishment or doesn't know the hukum but who
doesn't have knowledge in the way you have
in islam if you have some virtues and
you do something wrong the punishment is going
to be greater but here there is some
correction to be made because whenever we say
punishment is greater people think that it will
be multiplied the amount of the sins this
one is the same you are a good
person you are a scholar if you commit
sin you have the same amount being written
like the normal person but then the quantity
of the punishment the size of the punishment
differs from a person to another person you
get it the wives of the prophet gave
them that virtue he says whoever goes against
Allah SWT Allah will double the punishment he
doesn't double the amount of the sin but
he says the punishment will be multiplied and
he says and whoever amongst you is what
is anyone who is righteous amongst you and
she kept her straight forward steadfastness Allah SWT
says we will give her her reward twice
so a scholar a student of knowledge who
practices shariah based on knowledge his reward is
more valuable than the normal person if he
acts upon the knowledge that's the benefit of
becoming a scholar and at the same time
if you are to become a bad person
the punishment might be double that's why the
scholar who is not using his knowledge who
is not acting upon his knowledge might be
punished before the idol worshippers you know that's
why the Prophet SAW said in this hadith
it's a example of a scholar
who is teaching people good but he doesn't
apply that good it's just like the lantern
you know the lantern they have the candle
the fire right it is giving people light
but it burns itself giving people I
do righteous deed and I command him to
do righteous deed but he doesn't want to
listen I would not be harmed if Allah
wanted to punish him I would not be
included because I did what Allah asked me
to do but if you don't do the
righteous deed or you don't command people to
do righteous deed when the punishment comes from
Allah a person will be included exactly inshallah
so that's the best way to understand these
ayats is the job of every Muslim not
it's the job of everyone if you don't
do you get sin and everyone does it
according to his ability there are some people
among us who can talk they have to
talk there are some people among us who
can use hand to correct they have to
use hand to correct there are some people
inshallah they will stop there are some tell
them please they are supposed to be the
example of the university yeah so
Allah says even narrated so many hadith that
carry the same meaning of the previous one
so Allah says Allah says says
Allah you forgot yourself you know you're commanding
people to do righteous deed but at the
same time you forgot yourself why can't you
use your aqal and understand the seriousness of
the matter and combine both commanding people to
do righteous deed and also you observing the
righteousness by yourself so I guess that's the
best place to stop this is the most
distorted class we ever had in the Hukuma
of Hamad I'm just kidding so we stop
here for questions and answers I'm stopping not
because of this but because the next ayah
needs really focus so we need to have
a very clear environment inshallah what we do
next time when we come I think we
should just use the keys and lock the
doors if we start the class we leave
only one with the bodyguard it's necessary work
us inshallah so we will not disturb anyone
and nobody will disturb us because it's inappropriate
to have classes like this or any class
and there is noise or anybody who is
there committing sin because if you talk when
the classes are going on then the person
will get sick many of us don't know
this but this is true and the classes
where Allah has been raised and people are
studying about Allah making noises this is impermissible
so we should help others since we have
the key we just lock but inshallah tomorrow
please do book any question
I don't know whether it works because it
shows us inshallah the
first question is by Sati Fatima can women
commute to public transport like taxi where the
driver is a normal home since the sister
cannot choose a female driver option in the
e-hailing service and the taxi service?
Well I don't know but what I know
is that there are there are options like
this and a person choose whatever he wants
and any scholars call it halwa and also
after seeing what we see nowadays being people
who are harassed badly by the drivers from
time to time I think it's enough as
an evidence for a sister to make sure
that she uses the cab that is the
driver is a female it's better for her
I mean this doesn't need any evidence or
anything just look at what is going on
nowadays even in the best places also it
happens in the way and I think this
option is still there the person can look
for somebody to do that for the next
question by the same sister are we sinful
just to invest money in certain investment funds
which is not hundred percent Sharia compliant according
to what I answered yes you cannot invest
in a place where you know that it's
not Sharia compliant it's a simple act and
the money you are earning will be haram
money
next
question is by sister Sena Salam alaikum can
you elaborate on the way the Prophet salallahu
alayhi wa sallam disciplined his wives that's a
very long question how did the Prophet salallahu
alayhi wa sallam discipline his wives yes five
sticks I mentioned five so I'm good right
yeah five sticks you know three clashing corpse
and ten swords you know his way is
unique which is very difficult but easy for
somebody who is willing to follow yeah his
way is very unique and I'm speaking to
the brothers huh so sister should block there
yeah but this is this is this is
true your kindness yeah they don't need to
say no this is not aware but your
kindness your dedication softness gentleness at home forgiveness
tolerance is more than enough to make your
wife yes yes yes yes will be one
of the worst moment to see you getting
angry and upset in the house that was
what is happening the house of Rasulullah salallahu
alayhi wa sallam that's why no beating no
angry face really get angry Rasulullah salallahu alayhi
wa sallam because they really made him angry
really make him angry and how did he
manage to do it nothing except that kindness
extraordinary kind soft and gentle approachable and loving
person they know this the Prophet salallahu alayhi
wa sallam lives for them he cares for
them that's why he doesn't care to command
the soldiers around how many 500 of them
to command them to go and look for
the necklace that belongs to Aisha trust me
no I don't think that is an army
on earth not in the past not today
that will listen to this because of jewelry
forces that these are soldiers you know soldiers
I study my secondary school in the middle
of army park yeah I know how the
government secondary school but in the middle of
the park I know how harsh is that
kind of life you Allah no mercy to
anyone and you will see them punishing an
old man and they will punish you after
the punishment then they will ask you what
exactly happened they will ask you for justification
after you've been punished so to ask the
army the soldiers during the battle to serve
a woman don't forget the old life of
the Arabs Islam already deleted it but these
are soldiers you know but when she lost
that one Rasulullah kept them in that place
nobody can go and they have to listen
you know and they have to go and
look for that that jewelry not that wait
for her to go and look for it
no you why don't you think properly you
know we here you kept us here no
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam go and read
all the versions of the narration of this
story it's like there is nothing happened actually
he was at ease and he told the
believers please help her to get it it's
not good for her to go back without
it so I know it but they cannot
say anything because this is a command from
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam they went and
they kept on looking they couldn't find they
went to Abu Bakr they said do you
see what your daughter is doing that shows
that they were not happy you know they
said do you see what your daughter is
doing he doesn't know he just knew that
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said we should
stop here but this is what he usually
does so he said what did she do
they said she kept the believers here in
this place and there is no water for
us to make make Hudu.
Abu Bakr said she did that they said
yes he got annoyed he rushed very quickly
to Aisha unfortunately for him and also at
the same time fortunately for Aisha that Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had to tell you
that there was nothing with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam I mean to him there is
nothing what was he doing Aisha was sitting
down most likely they were just talking normal
talk and he felt exhausted he went to
sleep Aisha told him to sleep put his
head on her thigh so he was making
pillow with her thigh what does that mean
there is no issue so he was sleeping
like that so Abu Bakr came and he
found Aisha like she's taking care of a
baby with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
like that Abu Bakr doesn't know what to
do he's also scared of punching her Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will wake up yeah
so he went to her he's pinched her
from this spot very hardly Aisha said it
was so painful I am as I'm supposed
to cry but then she said I remember
that if I cry Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam will wake up my tears will come
down he will wake up she said I
tried to manage to do everything possible not
to move my legs so that Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam will not wake up.
Subhanallah this is the house of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam you get it who is
like that among the brothers she dropped down
something that means haqqiyamah already begin.
She called him he rejected her badly and
go back home and scolded her when he
is at home she has to be nervous
whatever mistake he does he's going to talk
about every single tiny thing how is she
supposed to let her relax and then you're
talking about punishment and all of these things
wallah if you follow the Sunnah of Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I wish our brothers
will listen to this if you follow the
Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
women are supposed to be the naturally they're
easy and simple that's why they say maratu
ala deen zawjiha I said sisters shouldn't make
comment even if I mention something wrong about
them they should just believe and keep quiet
right a very simple people you will learn
very serious on this they're very simple people
but it depends on what you're doing to
live with them you live like Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam trust me you will get
the same result inshallah or something closer to
that you will never need to shout at
your wife or to raise up your hand
and and hit her throughout your life and
you're going to see the vast majority of
your life with her is good and kindness
and lovely life but unfortunately before you get
a student of knowledge like this very difficult
these days unfortunately our students our scholars you
know we the student of knowledge we're not
doing that what we're supposed to be doing
that's why many of our wives are suffering
wallah suffering in the way the wives of
the people of dunya are not suffering and
our wives are suffering because of too much
demand and intolerance originally you also you're making
mistakes why can't you open the doors for
her to correct create a very good and
healthy environment and these people are very emotional
very emotional a simple thing can hurt you
are not like that so if you don't
have a conducive environment at home and you
are demanding from her to be like this
how is it possible for her to do
whatever you want her to do but you
don't create a base for it that Arab
man was truthful when he says provide the
base and then you can write on it
yeah if I don't have the conducive environment
for my wife to be doing the right
thing how am I going to expect her
to do the right thing Rasulullah s.a
.w. was not like that that's why to
answer that question once again is to say
that Rasulullah s.a.w. has a lot
of nice lovely weapons at home to discipline
his wife weapon number one tolerance weapon number
two patience weapon number three very lenient and
he loves his wife's very much they ask
him even in front of others who do
you who do you love the most he
said Aisha I mean they ask him who
do you love the most he said Aisha
they said no we are not asking about
sisters we're asking about the brothers he said
Abu Ha her father subhanAllah Aisha was with
the Prophet s.a.w. at home and
then the Abyssinians comes to play their games
their cultural games the Prophet s.a.w.
said Aisha would you like to see to
watch she said yes she came and the
Prophet s.a.w. let her she put
her what do you call this chin all
right she put it on the shoulder of
Rasulullah s.a.w. and she was watching
and he would tell her is that enough
he wants to go but he doesn't want
to disturb her he will ask her is
it enough for you for us I give
you five minutes but for for him the
Prophet s.a.w. he will ask her
is it enough she was she said no
I want to keep watching up to the
moment she told him I'm satisfied then he
told her let's go home yeah who is
that person who cares about his family in
the way Rasulullah s.a.w. does they
were on the way to somewhere right and
Aisha was in the cottage in that small
house on top of the camel Rasulullah s
.a.w. he is thinking about her because
she's alone he has other people to talk
to but she she doesn't have this is
also another point which our brothers are lacking
another point which our brothers are lacking well
we're going to hold you accountable of this
because he's going to marry and then he
will say I forgot this part right many
of us when you go out you come
back at night your wife is leaving she's
a housewife taking care of her kids sometimes
there is no kid she's alone in that
house you can only she can only communicate
with you when she when you come back
and then when you come back home you
come with all of the mashakil of the
working office to the house imagine she has
been alone so suffering from that loneliness and
then you come back with the mashakil also
rather than seeing good face at least Alhamdulillah
compensation is I mean has arrived but she
sees another another face that's wrong you Allah
and we found our students and our brothers
doing this that's wrong you should have time
if you know the nature of your wife
she doesn't have anyone at the in the
house send her message how do you do
how are you doing even if it is
nifaq no problem send it she will be
happy with that she will appreciate it and
I want to say oxim of Allah but
I don't think there is a wife on
earth who the husband will be contacting her
to say salam to her when he is
absent and she would not appreciate this Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he was with
the army he told Aisha he told the
army first run away I mean you guys
move he asked him you are so nice
everything fine he said no problem I have
something with my wife here they said they
left yeah because he cannot do that in
the presence of others which we do nowadays
unfortunately Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told them
to leave so he told Aisha Aisha come
down she came down he asked her she
asked him what happened because she she knows
that they are soldiers with him but now
nobody is there except him and her she
says well is everything okay he said yes
okay everything is fine he said I just
want to ask you this would you like
to race subhanallah why is he asking her
to come down because he feels that she's
bored right that's why he told her just
come let's do racing to give her some
fresh moment huh student of knowledge running with
his wife May Allah guide us yeah you
should have all of these Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam play with his wife who is
who are you and your scholarship to say
that you will not play with your wife
but we don't know how much that will
bring to you and to your family and
good life between you and your family if
you come and do the right thing and
play with them in the house otherwise life
is going to be very dry Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam told Jabi why didn't you
marry a young person that you will play
with her and she plays with you because
when you marry an old woman she is
usually serious Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
why didn't you marry a young person somebody
who can play with you so they did
the race who won she won yeah she
won that there is and they come back
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said okay
happy then she goes back to the to
the to the room she was so happy
you know Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
okay let's go and catch catch up the
companions they went and they meet them on
another occasion Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also
he has happened to be with her he
told the companions move forward he told them
I have something with Aisha here she will
Aisha to come down Aisha she remember the
past the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told
her Aisha would you like to do the
race and again she said yes Rasulullah it
means if you want to lose again then
we can go ahead they did the race
again and at this time who won Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam won when they come
back Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told her
Aisha this is my revenge and then they
left so to summarize this it is my
personal request you know to those who are
married among you please readjust the way you
live with your family wallah is a very
good life you are supposed to be the
most and I mean the post I mean
that person that enjoy a marital life because
you know what Sharia says your house is
supposed to be Jannah your family are enjoying
you are enjoying you're supposed to be a
person who has no place that is better
than home because he knows that he's going
to meet somebody who is really qualified to
be with him a life between them is
so excellent because they observe what Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam was doing but it's not
like that so it is my personal advice
to all of our brothers who married please
revisit your life with your family members be
good be kind be gentle be soft be
tolerant be somebody who is forgiven imitates Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in this regard for
those people who are not married yet Allah
a'inukum yeah please please don't repeat the
mistake our brothers and sisters are doing you
get it learn train yourself you know study
how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is
living with his family members and tell yourself
this is the life I choose myself and
I'm going to be patient to annoy shaytan
in that regard it's always good so my
answer to the sister who is asking that
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has a
lot of weapons in the house but this
is the way the weapons looks like you
get it no physical weapons but it's all
spiritual weapons because he knows who he's dealing
with it's a very emotional person who wants
kindness that's why I closed with this statement
they said what the woman is looking for
in marriage is different from what the man
is looking for right you know what is
she looking for no you are the one
who is looking for comfort your wife is
not looking for comfort oh my husband married
there oh that's why he's I wish his
wife is listening to tell you no I'm
not looking for this no I'll put it
in another way Sajjad yeah it's what our
scholars put it in this way taking from
the Hadith of Ummu Zara a different to
believe that she is next to somebody who
loves and care for her that's it you
are the one Allah says he does not
say you be comforted right that's why who
get tired of marriage quicker sisters not the
brothers never get tired that's why always he's
the one who is fighting and complaining anyways
so please do understand this right because if
you do understand this then you will be
able to do right right right thing it's
not about you giving her money you know
it's not wallah it's not it's not there
are people who have everything but she's depressed
because of the behavior of the husband Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam what do you find
in the house of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam nothing subhanAllah the the mat the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sleeping on was
something that is very harsh when he sleep
on it you can see the lines on
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one piece
of cloth and the place that he eats
food and that's it but he's the most
happiest person on earth and his wives the
most happiest people because they enjoy what life
what the husband means we have everything how
many clothes you have 10 20 30 and
she has how many a lot your house
is full of food but she's always depressed
and this is what Umm Zahra said she
said when she married the second person she
got divorced by the first one she said
the first the second one is more richer
than the first one and give me better
than the first one but subhanAllah she cannot
forget the life that she had with the
first one she said if I am to
combine everything I got from the second one
you know everything the second one gave me
it is not equivalent and equal to one
cup that I got from Abu Zahra the
previous husband what did she lose from the
second one he gave her money he told
her even you can bring your family members
also to come and take from my wealth
but what did she lose she lost that
what she's looking for he's not acting as
a husband the harshness lack of tolerance everything
is there but he give money money cannot
give a wife what she's looking for so
I guess the message inshallah reach all of
us right so please please please I'm really
begging you because I have situations you know
from long time up to date receiving situations
of our brothers and sisters who are not
doing the right thing in this regard in
the way the spouses became depressed so please
we need this approach of Rasulallah in our
homes may Allah grant us good and Tawfiq
and also let those people who are still
single marry on time right inshallah Allah grant
you good I guess Maghrib time already arrived
right so I would delay all the questions
for the next class thank you very much
for your patience and coming from this class
to another class and this class to another
class inshallah thank you very much
