Wales if you don't move back home, warming up how Rasulullah who fell called the affair as I thought it was and how we map out

00:03:16--> 00:03:18

my dear brothers and sisters.

00:03:19--> 00:03:21

the times in which we live in today

00:03:23--> 00:03:28

are times of fitna on so many different levels.

00:03:31--> 00:03:32

But there is one fitna

00:03:34--> 00:03:38

that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said spoke up

00:03:39--> 00:03:41

1400 years ago

00:03:43--> 00:03:45

that we see prevalent

00:03:46--> 00:03:54

and that we see most of us struggling against and so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:03:55--> 00:04:04

He said, ma talk to Matt on October 35th in Atlanta, although Riley regionally meaning

00:04:06--> 00:04:11

that there is no fitna that I have left behind me,

00:04:12--> 00:04:18

more dangerous, more harmful for men than the fitna of women.

00:04:19--> 00:04:31

And so this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala legislated what he legislated of laws that would protect us from this fitna.

00:04:32--> 00:04:50

So Allah subhanho wa taala. He legislated various kinds of laws that are outlined in the Quran, such as that which pertains to our relationship with various kinds of women, the Mahad Him, those who are not allowed to marry

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

and Allah subhanahu Attallah legislated that we not freely mix between the genders and

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

Allah subhanho wa Taala commanded the believing men, and also the believing women to lower their gaze. Good little mini Nyah, who do mean on the sorry him? Why for Wufu Jehan Delica as kala whom say to the believing men,

00:05:21--> 00:05:30

say to them to lower their games and protect their private parts, that is more pure for them.

00:05:31--> 00:05:37

And so this is because this is because shaitan does not come to us directly.

00:05:39--> 00:06:05

He won't come to one of us and say, commit Zina directly, but rather, he drags us into sin gradually. And that's why Allah subhanahu Attallah told us, making us to realize these footsteps of shaitan Yeah, are you hilarious? Man who laughed at me rueful to watch the shaytaan

00:06:07--> 00:06:13

well mania WR fu to RT che Barney for in who neurobiol fascia evil Moncure

00:06:15--> 00:06:41

for inner who yet Maru Bill fracture, you will Moncure Allah subhanho wa Taala says, commending us, all you who believe do not follow in the footsteps of shaitan. For whoever does so whoever follows in the footsteps of shaitan than indeed shaitan he only commands in decency, in morality, and evil. And until shaitan.

00:06:44--> 00:06:50

Addressing his soldiers and his troops, he tells them to attack

00:06:51--> 00:07:00

to attack human beings through their eyes. For it is this same I that I

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

was able to trap Adam in.

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

So he Lord Adam,

00:07:08--> 00:07:10

into eating from the tree

00:07:11--> 00:07:19

by making him to see this tree and the fruit on it as being something delicious as being something

00:07:21--> 00:07:50

that will fulfill something that he had hoped for instilling within Adam false hopes. And so and so shaytaan addressing his troops, he tells him to attack the Children of Adam, through their eyes, because it is through these eyes, that I will control them, and I will entice them to commit evil Ibaka him Rama Hawa, he says

00:07:51--> 00:07:56

he says that the gaze and the sight it generates a thought

00:07:58--> 00:08:03

and then that thought it generates an idea. And then the idea

00:08:04--> 00:08:07

it generates a will a determination

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

and then that will will grow and it will intensify.

00:08:15--> 00:08:32

And the person will become determined to commit that sin. And then the sin will inevitably be committed unless there is something to prevent the person from committing it. And then he says concerning this, it was said

00:08:33--> 00:08:44

that patients in lowering the gains is easier than patients enduring the pain that comes after that.

00:08:46--> 00:08:56

And so my dear brothers and sisters, it starts with the eyes. And if we do not control our neffs and its desires from looking at haram

00:08:58--> 00:09:00

it will lead us to consequences

00:09:01--> 00:09:03

that we will lead to regret.

00:09:04--> 00:09:47

And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam addressing it robiola who sang he said LA to the letter to the another or another do not follow up one glance with another for in Latin, Hola, Lee, Santa Clara, the first one, it was for you, meaning that it was not under your control. You are walking down the street, you saw something. But then the second glance, that is not for you, meaning that the first one is pardoned. But then after that, you have control and you can lower your games, even cathedral

00:09:49--> 00:09:50

he mentions a story.

00:09:52--> 00:09:54

In his famous book, I'll be there when they hire.

00:09:56--> 00:09:57

He says

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

that

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

An individual a person in his time, who he knew by the name of Ibn Abdul Rahim he narrates to him this story. He said that we went out

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

on a mission.

00:10:16--> 00:10:19

We went out on a mission to the Roman lands.

00:10:21--> 00:10:24

And there was a young lad who accompanied us.

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

And this young person,

00:10:30--> 00:10:31

he was

00:10:33--> 00:10:33

the most

00:10:35--> 00:10:48

worshipping of us. He was the most knowledgeable of us. He would recite the Quran more than any of us. He would fast during the day, and he would stand up and pray during the night.

00:10:50--> 00:10:51

He goes on to say

00:10:53--> 00:10:55

that suddenly we came across a fort.

00:10:57--> 00:10:58

And this young lad,

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

he went,

00:11:02--> 00:11:03

he went close to the fort.

00:11:05--> 00:11:10

And so we thought that maybe he went there to relieve himself, and that he would come back.

00:11:12--> 00:11:13

But he didn't come back.

00:11:15--> 00:11:30

So we went to see where he went. And we found, we found him at the fort. Talking with a Christian woman from behind the fort. She was inside the fort.

00:11:31--> 00:11:32

And so

00:11:34--> 00:11:39

he fell in love with her. And he asked her, how he could be with her.

00:11:41--> 00:11:44

And so this woman, she said, there is only one way.

00:11:45--> 00:11:54

And that is if you renounce Islam and convert to Christianity. If you do, so, the door will open, and I will be waiting for you.

00:11:57--> 00:12:06

And so this young person, he fell into that trap. He converted to Christianity. He went to the door, he knocked on it, and it was open for him.

00:12:07--> 00:12:09

Even Abdullah Rahim, the one narrating the story, he says,

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

he says

00:12:13--> 00:12:21

that we returned from our mission and the entire journey. Our only discussion was concerning this young person

00:12:22--> 00:12:32

and the grief you can never imagine. For we looked at this young teenager, this young youth as being one of our own children.

00:12:33--> 00:12:47

And look at how he went astray. He was the most worshipping of us. He was the most devoted to Allah among us. He was the most knowledgeable of us, how on earth did he go a string.

00:12:48--> 00:12:50

And so he says

00:12:52--> 00:12:57

that we even addressed him. And we told him, fear Allah and come back.

00:12:58--> 00:13:11

But he wouldn't listen to us. We asked him, What has your worship done for you? What has your Koran done for you? What has your fasting done for you? What has your preamble laid done for you?

00:13:12--> 00:13:48

And so his response was regarding the Quran, he said, I have forgotten all of it. And all that I can remember of the Quran is one verse. Mallya, what do Ludhiana cafardo this one verse where Allah subhanahu Attallah says, will rob you would do Nadine Acuff Haru Locanda Muslimeen daughter who Mia who dare whom thou double home Yep, cool why a tomato? While you will he will Emmylou festival fire Allah moon, this one verse where Allah subhanho wa Taala says, perhaps

00:13:49--> 00:13:58

those who disbelieve they would wish that they were Muslims. Leave them Allah subhanahu Italia says, leave them

00:13:59--> 00:14:03

in their enjoyment, leave them to eat, to enjoy

00:14:05--> 00:14:09

and be deceived by their false hopes, for they will come to know.

00:14:11--> 00:14:12

And so that was the end

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

of this, of this young man

00:14:19--> 00:14:21

who was lured

00:14:22--> 00:14:26

who was lured by nothing other than

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

a small glands,

00:14:29--> 00:14:37

a small gaze that many of us look at as being insignificant, and we believe

00:14:38--> 00:14:56

BarakAllahu li Walakum fill Quran when, whenever any what you call the mafia humean It was declared Hakeem acordo mattes Muhammad still fear Allah How do you welcome Melissa itams Nina McAleenan been habia but still a few who in who can have a fair or what to lay in? Who can it whoever

00:15:47--> 00:15:49

My dear brothers and sisters

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

as

00:15:55--> 00:15:56

the lock down

00:15:57--> 00:16:05

and the restrictions are lifted in the coming days, and as we enter

00:16:06--> 00:16:09

into the first heatwave of the summer,

00:16:10--> 00:16:11

we are faced

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

with this fitna.

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

With this fitna of women that the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam warned us of

00:16:22--> 00:16:23

and so there are many out there

00:16:25--> 00:16:28

who easily fall into the traps of shaitan

00:16:29--> 00:16:33

not being able to control their nests and their desires.

00:16:34--> 00:16:35

And so

00:16:37--> 00:16:38

I want to reflect

00:16:40--> 00:16:46

over one of the greatest stories that Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed in the Quran.

00:16:48--> 00:16:50

The story of use of it his Salam.

00:16:51--> 00:16:58

From this story, we have not just a few lessons, but hundreds of lessons that we can learn.

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

And from these

00:17:02--> 00:17:19

are seven ways, seven ways that will help us to deal with the fitna of women. Seven Ways that Allah subhanho wa Taala he mentioned in the story of use of adding his Salah.

00:17:21--> 00:17:23

So the first of these ways

00:17:25--> 00:17:30

is by seeking refuge in Allah subhanho wa Taala when faced with that temptation

00:17:34--> 00:17:35

and so use of allihies Salaam

00:17:38--> 00:17:47

when the wife of the king, she tried to seduce him, or or what will let you who have EBT ha infc He

00:17:49--> 00:17:54

wore all weather to Letty who have EBT her infc He was on a cotton.

00:17:55--> 00:17:56

We'll call it hate.

00:17:57--> 00:17:59

Call him has Allah

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

when she tried to seduce him,

00:18:05--> 00:18:13

and she locked all the doors. And she said to him, now come to me. What was the response of use of it?

00:18:15--> 00:18:21

What was the very first thing that he did? What was the very first thing that he said?

00:18:22--> 00:18:46

He said, I seek refuge in Allah, my refuge is with none other than Allah subhanho wa taala. And so seeking refuge in Allah subhanho wa Taala is the number one means that will help us to face any kind of fitna out there, no matter how great it may seem, secondly,

00:18:48--> 00:18:49

to realize

00:18:51--> 00:18:55

the evil that this will lead to, to realize

00:18:56--> 00:18:57

the wrong

00:19:00--> 00:19:01

and the oppressive nature

00:19:04--> 00:19:05

of Zina.

00:19:07--> 00:19:09

And so Yusuf Ali has said,

00:19:11--> 00:19:16

after that, what did he say? In hula euphony for body morning,

00:19:17--> 00:19:32

that the oppressive they will never succeed, signaling, that if I was to commit this grave sin, then I am nothing but unjust. I am nothing but an oppressor.

00:19:33--> 00:19:44

And this reminds us of that hadith, in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a young person came to him and said, Ya rasool Allah, give me permission to commit Zina.

00:19:45--> 00:19:48

What was the response of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

00:19:49--> 00:19:52

and what was the response of the companions around him?

00:19:53--> 00:19:59

They were ready to attack him. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he asked him

00:20:01--> 00:20:02

Would you?

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

Would you be pleased?

00:20:07--> 00:20:14

If the same thing was to be done with your sister, your mother, your daughter, your ad?

00:20:16--> 00:20:19

With each one of these, he said, No.

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

I would never want anything like that to be done with them.

00:20:25--> 00:20:27

So likewise,

00:20:28--> 00:20:30

these women that you want to commit Zina when

00:20:31--> 00:20:36

they are sisters, they are mothers, they are daughters.

00:20:37--> 00:20:38

And so you committing this sin

00:20:40--> 00:20:44

is unjust, just like it would be unjust

00:20:45--> 00:20:48

with those who you love, thirdly

00:20:50--> 00:20:53

reviving the Eman in our hearts.

00:20:54--> 00:21:09

Reviving the Eman in our hearts. And so Allah subhanho wa Taala says, what occurred to him to be he were him maybe ha Lola or Bora Han or a

00:21:10--> 00:21:13

good article you know Sullivan, who Sue Ellen fascia.

00:21:15--> 00:21:17

Allah subhanahu wa Tada says

00:21:19--> 00:21:20

that she advanced towards him.

00:21:22--> 00:21:27

As for use of highly Salam, he would have also advanced if it was not

00:21:29--> 00:21:59

for the Quran, for the proof of Allah, him seeing it before him, and Allah subhanho wa Taala averting from him in decency, immorality, the poor hand of Allah that Yusuf Ali has Salam saw, the scholars say that it is the knowledge that he had in his heart, the Eman that he had in his heart, especially that which relates to Allah subhanho wa taala. His means his attributes

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

this Eman that he had in his heart, knowing who Allah subhanahu wa taala is knowing that Allah is watching him knowing that Allah subhanahu Adana will bring him to account if he was to commit this indecent act.

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

Fourthly

00:22:25--> 00:22:27

it last loss of Allah subhanho wa taala.

00:22:29--> 00:22:31

sincerity and honesty

00:22:32--> 00:23:08

that we have in our hearts, those who are sincere to Allah subhanahu wa taala. They do not allow any kind of fitna to penetrate their hearts. So Allah subhanho wa Taala says, In whom in a bad, you know, philosophy, he was from our chosen servants, and in another Clara, in whom in a bad you know, morally Suim he was from our sincere and honest servants. And so the question is, how honest are you with Allah subhanho wa taala?

00:23:09--> 00:23:14

Are you someone who is conscious of Allah subhanho wa taala.

00:23:15--> 00:23:18

Only at times when you are not tested?

00:23:19--> 00:23:24

Or are you conscious and honest with Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:23:25--> 00:23:27

at all times fifthly

00:23:30--> 00:23:31

fleeing away,

00:23:33--> 00:23:35

fleeing away from Phaeton

00:23:36--> 00:23:38

when you are presented with them,

00:23:39--> 00:23:53

not wavering, not pausing, not hesitating, not thinking, but rather right away, running away. And this is what we learned from the story of use of hiding his salon was terrible.

00:23:55--> 00:23:57

What did com you so who mean doober

00:23:59--> 00:24:50

They raced towards the door, meaning that Yusuf Ali has Salem, right away, he got up, and he ran towards the door, trying to escape. And then she ran after him, tearing his shirt from behind. And so, when presented with these fitten we should flee. We shouldn't even go to such places where we were we will be exposed to these fatal Sixthly standing firmly in resistance in refusal to submit to these temptations and the Phaeton and shaytaan and the desires and urges of our knifes.

00:24:52--> 00:24:55

One AccuDraw or two who infc He for style some.

00:24:56--> 00:25:00

What did she say? When she was in the gathering of the women?

00:25:00--> 00:25:00

And

00:25:01--> 00:25:02

she said to them,

00:25:03--> 00:25:15

that I did, indeed try to seduce him. But what did he do? He stood firmly in resistance. And so,

00:25:16--> 00:25:20

people, when they are faced with different kinds of Phaeton,

00:25:21--> 00:25:30

there are those who stand firm in resistance. And there are those who surrender and give up.

00:25:31--> 00:25:47

Those who stand firm in resistance, they are the ones who will be saved. But those who surrender, they are the ones who will perish. Just like two individuals who are out at sea.

00:25:50--> 00:25:51

And they are about to drown.

00:25:53--> 00:26:10

Both of them know how to swim. But one, he continues to struggle until he finds safety while another who tries but then he gives up and he surrenders. And he drowned.

00:26:11--> 00:26:13

Finally, my dear brothers and sisters,

00:26:14--> 00:26:19

the seventh way to help us to be saved

00:26:20--> 00:26:21

from this fitna

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

is none other than to turn to Allah subhanahu wa taharah into

00:26:29--> 00:26:34

and so with all that use of allihies Salam went through,

00:26:35--> 00:26:37

first, that woman,

00:26:38--> 00:26:40

then when he escaped from her,

00:26:42--> 00:26:47

and she went in the gathering of the women, and then they all tried to seduce him.

00:26:48--> 00:26:49

And then after that,

00:26:51--> 00:27:01

he was threatened, that if he does not comply, he will be thrown in prison. And he will be humiliated, he will be disgrace.

00:27:02--> 00:27:03

What did he do?

00:27:04--> 00:27:06

Being who he was

00:27:07--> 00:27:10

a prophet of Allah, a messenger of Allah,

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

having the Eman that he had, the taqwa that he had, he could have said, Let me rely on myself. redirect me to rely on my Eman, my ego, my righteousness, this will save me but no.

00:27:28--> 00:27:35
