and he has a lot more to share with you guys. So sit down Don't go anywhere and enjoy and enjoy this
episode of nation of goodness. So without any further ado, let us welcome shake to the program.
Assalamu alaykum chicory walaikum salam wa rahmatullah wa barakato Malik Jackalope.
		

			The viewers and hamdulillah are salatu salam ala rasulillah Chateau La ilaha illallah wa una sharika
wash Mohammedan. Abdo solo, I'm gonna let you know that. We originally planned to talk about
consequences today. But I actually asked brother Malik, if he can allow one more episode just to
recap, maybe Malika and just add some more information about how to go about enjoining. Good and
forbidding evil, because this is the core of the series Really? Okay. This must be a very important
topic if you want to continue in fourth episode. Yeah, so we can't just go out and do it any way
that we see fit, or we think is the best way to do it. There's a certain procedure to doing this is
		

			explained. Let me begin by saying Dear viewers, if you are a Muslim, which hamdulillah you are,
		

			there are two things here that you must focus on. And I'm looking at you brothers and sisters in
Islam. Number one, yourself, you must become a servant of our last panel.
		

			You must become odd or odd to Allah subhana wa, servants, you must fulfill the religion
		

			beginning with the oneness of Allah subhanaw taala. singling out Allah once it comes to his divine
essence, attributes, names, actions of lordship, creation, sovereignty, and also disposing your
affairs. Therefore, as a result of this, then you single out along with your action, okay, for last
panel data is the creator, the Sustainer, the provider, then it doesn't make any sense that you do
any act for anyone else, but the last panel, and this is what we call the head in all the way. So
you yourself have to do this. And then you begin the act of obedience. Basically fulfill the
commands stay away from the unknown holes. Do you say Santa Ana do not do you say Santa Ana,
		

			you're doing this Alhamdulillah
		

			Then there is another task, which calling people to that, right, calling people to do that. That's
what we're talking about, yes to toe hate, to do what is right to stay away from what is wrong. And
like we mentioned Malik, what is right and what is wrong, is to be identified and is to be declared
by Allah and His Messenger, no one else, no place for desire, no place for societal norms, no place
for cultural practices, Allah Subhana Allah and His messenger. So,
		

			out of those two are the two who are eligible basically to give us that type of information. So, you
do it and you call people to it and calling people to it is in a way, the hour in a way enjoining
good and forbidding evil, that are once it comes to non Muslims, you call people to the fundamental
which is the principle which is what thou hate first, which is lead in a law, but with Muslims, you
do something more, which is you get into the branches of the religion, and this is what we call
enjoining good and forbidding evil. Do this This is hard. This is hard to not do this. This is
haram. Now, not every Muslim Malik is qualified to actually do this. educate people talk to people
		

			about Islam for example, or talk to Muslims about halal and haram so they are exempt the trick
nowadays
		

			They are not, then their job is to direct them to those who know, okay? They see, at the end of the
day, you could call people to listen to you, so that they you could convey the message to them. But
if you're unable or not qualified because he lacked the knowledge, then your job we are committed to
more selling. And this is what the believer of ASEAN did was when axon Medina tiara junonia saya,
kala comi Italia all mursaleen and then came from out of town and he said follow the messengers,
because he was in a way unable or he was in the knowledge, yes. Okay, so you direct people to the
source where they can obtain that knowledge. Brothers and sisters in Islam, the viewers, at the end
		

			of the day, you are doing this, you're calling people to Allah, or you're calling Muslims to do what
is right to stay away from what is wrong. You're trying to cheat, you're trying to achieve three
objectives. Okay, three goals in mind. Number one, you're trying to remind the people of the right
thing so that they may benefit right naturally
		

			in vichara, meaning remind indeed, your reminder may benefit the believers. So when you speak to
another Muslim about Islam, he may listen or lie or sometimes, sometimes non Muslims approach me and
my Masjid and I just talked to him for five minutes. He tells you I'm ready to That's amazing. I'm
ready. So hon Allah there are people who you've been speaking with for the last 10 years. They are
not ready yet. Yes. You never know. Right? You never know for that kid in Nana anthem with a que les
de la Hindi Messiah to remind because you're just a reminder, you're not to force people, you are
not going to be able to force people to do what you want them to do. So Objective Number one, that
		

			you want to be a reminder to them that this is the right thing to do. Number two, you want to take
yourself remove yourself from the area of blame.
		

			Because I'm telling you, you're supposed to convey you're supposed to deliver your messenger and his
farewell sermon, he said to his companions, which really also a statement which is made for the rest
of the oma until the day for resurrection, ballyhoo Arnie, voila.
		

			Now I delivered the religion, he asked them have I delivered, they said, Yes, we pay a witness. Now
it's your job to deliver. Go, disperse, deliver. So now you are a Muslim, you're coming out of the
air you have fulfill that obligation, okay, put it that way you fulfill your obligation, you
fulfilled your obligation. Also, you have taken yourself from the area of the plane, you have
removed yourself. Because next episode, and I don't want the brothers and sisters to miss the next
episode, because we're going to talk about the consequences. There are serious consequences if you
do not enjoy and good and forbid evil. Okay, and we're gonna talk about it next episode. So when you
		

			do this, when you call people to Allah, whether they are non Muslims, or when you call Muslims to do
what is right, stay away from what is wrong, you have fulfilled the obligation the command to convey
and also you have removed yourself from the area of blame. Because the Prophet says if you see evil,
you must do what you do about it. So you will be blameworthy if you didn't do anything. Absolutely.
Okay. I don't want to talk about it once we talk about the consequence. Okay? another three goal
that you're trying to achieve the third, the third goal is you're trying to establish the evidence
against the people. This is my very strong language, my favorites, elaborate shake on this. Well,
		

			listen, at the end of the day, brothers and sisters in Islam, you do not guide people in that sense,
you do not force people to be guided right? Listen, when they spoke about guidance, they have
divided it into two types. He they had to declare that he or she had that you show the people the
direction where they need to go. But there is another type which is hidayatullah tofi, which is you
actually do what people directed you to example, you wanna you're in Washington, DC or Maryland and
brothers who are living there, they may rejoice over that. You want to go to Virginia, I tell you
take 495 the Beltway, right. What did I do? I guided them by
		

			the direction in a way. But can I force you to go on that for 95 I can
		

			Allah subhanaw taala is the one who must give you the trophy who must bestow upon you that are free
to take that route. And this will be based on your intention inside you, you know that this is the
right way to go. But you know what, I'm not gonna listen to this guy I'm not interested. And based
on this, Allah will take you or will leave you in a way for my job is to let you know about the
right way. And by doing this, I am establishing an evidence against you.
		

			Because listen at the Day of Resurrection, Allah subhanaw taala made it a rule that he's not going
to pan out either he's not going to punish anyone without sending a messenger when I couldn't more
IV in a hot bath or sooner we are not to hold anyone accountable, or to punish anyone for anything
that we commanded him or her to do without sending a warner a messenger. Now my job will not
messenger so that don't mistaken me. We are followers of Mohammed Salah. Our job is to establish the
evidence against people, or Rasulullah Musashi, normandin una de la akuna la nasya Allah La whoa
jatoba de su messengers who bring black tiling and bring warnings to the people so that in the
		

			resurrection that people are not going to have an evidence saying I didn't know you're up, they
won't have an excuse. Nobody told me, nobody told me. Nobody told me. So when you engage in the work
of Dawa, when you engage in the work of enjoining good and forbidding evil, you're trying to achieve
those three goals. Okay, remind the people fulfill the obligation and remove yourself out of the
area of blame. And the third one is to establish the evidence agency and say before we go to the
break, you sit on the Day of Judgment, someone who can't this person who will not have the excuse
and saying you know what? Nobody told me on the reverse side. What What if that person said, Nobody
		

			told me you know, and I knew Malik, for example, he was Muslim, and he never gave me the message.
Now Malik becomes blameworthy. For example, right. So So panel is very interesting. Yes. Where we go
into the next segment, we're gonna continue Well, the next segment we're gonna talk about actually
how you go about Okay, how do we do it actually how you do it, how we can take steps three steps,
okay. Yeah, I mean, a lot of other people they mentioned five and six and seven and eight, but I'm
going to sum them up in three steps. Okay, what if you see something doing wrong? What do you should
do first, then two, then three. Okay, perfect, you guys. inshallah you guys went from the shake.
		

			Stay tuned to learn how to implement the good and prevent the evil We'll be right back
		

			over the
		

			moon
		

			to moon
		

			violence have spilled over onto this escalated into violent clashes between police and protesters.
		

			And we're also hearing of injuries on paternalist Charlie McGrath says the cuts will heat further
suffering on ordinary people that for decades, but the fence needs some.
		

			This is a serious and thanks for
		

			joining me as I explore issues, pressing issues facing the Muslim world today from the one side of
civil war in Syria, to the genocide in Burma from the Arab Spring to the elections in the US and
yes, even the Euro debt crisis in Greece. Honest reporting on a channel you can trust and I won't
leave an issue untouched. Don't miss the oma tonight with me Malik on your favorite channel.
		

			Welcome back the view submission of goodness we're talking about how to enjoin the good and
forbidden forbidden evil with Eemian crema boozy sake. You're talking about three steps to implement
what you've been talking about. The viewers really want to know. I want to know what are these? What
are these three steps that can help us implement, enjoying the good and forbidding the evil
Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah Chateau La ilaha illallah wa sallahu wa sallim ala
		

			Muhammad Abdul Rasul Allah, dear viewers, the first step must make sure you must make sure that the
person is educated about the subject matter okay.
		

			Why was even even
		

			Medic before you label somebody to be a disbeliever
		

			you must remove the misconception. Right? You must remove the You see, the oma has had
		

			bottom rock they say we've hit rock bottom. It seems like the bottom. Yeah, yeah. Especially once it
comes to the knowledge of Islam, knowledge of the religious zeal or knowledge of Islam. Now, I was
amazed. At one time, I was in touch.
		

			And I saw a brother from a distance wearing his Herman's walk. I've seen it myself. But this one
told me something and I have no right to say that he is not telling the truth because by default,
the last little Muslim, Barack Obama that he speaks the truth, right? I asked him actually, this is
not the right thing to do. Because one lie, he or she, it's the first time I hear somebody telling
me that smoking is harmful.
		

			I mean, I don't allow for what I mean, I know shall be true. I have no right to say that he is not
telling the truth. Yeah. And I could sense in his face. You see he's from the Middle East or the
Middle East here. People were brought up into the sculpture. Yeah, you know, smoking like candy like
bubblegum to everybody is doing it. He saw his parents doing it. He's doing it's like it's a
cultural norm like Americans chew bubblegum right. Now for him. He was brought up in this culture.
		

			But he has never been told that smoking is haram. So now I went and I said, Why are you doing this?
Without asking him? The ruling regarding smoking? Do you know it's halal, right. Do you know it's
haram? So apply this to any other thing, right? Listen, if you do not know the person and they you
see them doing something wrong. Okay? Good. Another example. And may Allah have mercy on this
brother because he died. I was an Imam. And I was leading the Salah,
		

			a brother from Africa, you know, the brothers in Africa, West Africa in particular. And Sierra Leone
is from here, I remember him, may Allah have mercy on his soul. So he died. So panela and, and I was
praying, and the brother was behind me. And then I heard him saying the intention loud.
		

			Right out loud, out loud with his, of course, we announced earlier right? The intention is not to be
pronounced right with the tongue. The intention is the act of the heart. And Nia who as will cause
an alarm, that you resolve in your heart to do something, right? It is no need for the tongue. So is
standing behind me in the salon, and it's a no way to suddenly salata Lhasa and so forth. And I
went, and I attacked him. I will never forgive myself.
		

			I will never forgive myself. I will, what are you doing? This is a beta. I did that. And I think it
was wrong to do this. You know what he told me? While I did not know, I did not know this is a beta.
Yeah. A lot of us fall into that pitfall. Right? A lot of us do, which is very sad. Because we
expect the Muslims we expect the people to be aware of this, but they are not. They never been
taught. They never received the information. We had a deficit of information and informing Muslims
about the religion. Those are two strong examples sake, we were deprived A lot of us from the
knowledge of Islam, a lot of Muslims now as soon as you, you tell them about the truth, they go for
		

			it, because they did not know. So you before you act like a judge. You act like a person who is
about to punish people, and reward people for following you or disobey you make sure that they know
about it, make sure that they know about it. So that's step number one.
		

			Educate. Of course, this may not apply to somebody that you know who knows, right? And is somebody
that you went to school with, listen, you were in the same class, you went to Islamic schools,
already, we're sitting together, he knows it's wrong, that's different. You know, he knows that's
different, but someone else that you do not know who knows? Then right away you have to educate
them. So this is step number one. Step number two, like I always stress, take yourself out of the
picture.
		

			And this is what we call admonition now ever. Present the subject call Allah, Allah Rasool Allah,
for Allah home. wakulla home fee unfussy him, how will indulekha speak to them in a form of
admonition brother, Carlos hola Salim. If you do this, Yan is upon Allah very famous.
		

			Always situation that I face all the time when I see a brother who is wearing gold.
		

			I say Brother, do you know that the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam said that if you wear it in the
dunya you're not going to be able to wear it in Jannah and this is haram
		

			For the men of the followers of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and I.
		

			That way That's right. And if you do this, Allah will reward you for following the messenger and
Allah will bless you and so on. So you have to present it to them in a form of admonition, okay? Now
whatever that you're trying to bring about their, you speak to your hearts, right? And their brains,
their minds, even the mind sometimes is in the heart. This is another beside the point. But in
general, you try to educate them in that fashion you bring about the evidence. You see a problem
brothers and sisters in Islam Dear viewers, with the people who attempt to enjoin good and forbid
evil, they end up bringing their own thoughts brings the analogy of the dunya when the Quran and
		

			Sunnah is sufficient to suffice, the subject becomes a personal attack. Absolutely. When you speak
like this, you you're enforcing your thoughts, right? You're in full, enforcing your your ideas on
the person, right? You don't want to do this, right? No, you want to bring the Messenger of Allah,
you want to bring Allah Subhana Allah in front of that person and I call Allah, Allah Rasool Allah,
Allah Muslim, this is what they said. And you know what, there are consequences if you fulfill and
submit the covenant between you and Allah Subhana Allah to Allah which is saying, I here and I obey,
then Allah will reward you. If you refuse, then Allah Subhana Allah, Allah will punish you. So this
		

			is step number two. Now I want to say before you jump to step number three, repeat, repeat step one
and to repeat why a lot, a lot. Yeah, Malik Lu Holly's been calling his people 950 years. repeat
over and over and over again, but repeated with different mediums, right? Instead of you speak and
maybe, okay, find the CD, find the lecture, right? Have a famous person that the brother may like,
right, or someone who can maybe communicate to his line have different approaches, different
approaches, repeat with different approaches, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat? What if?
		

			What if he doesn't respond to you and then report them? The third step is to report to the report
them to the authority because you've done what you could? Well, you use because forcing them is not
going to work. But can you put them in a community, report them to the map? report them to the
Father if they are children? Right, right and report them to the mother or the police guard? Well,
if it's a different subject, well, it's a different subject. But yes, if the issue is related to
farming to the people at large, absolutely. You could do that. But this is another issue that maybe
we can shed more light on, but you want to report it to the people who are basically in charge
		

			because then it becomes people might say a gossip if I know it is not who people might say this. No,
I look at the whole sob rebutting thesis that in
		

			what is backbiting the Prophet sallallahu Sallam based on the authentic hadith he asked his
companions, what is backbiting at aduna malaba
		

			they said the line is messenger know best. Then the Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
backbiting that you speak about your brother or sister in their absence, and you say something that
they may dislike.
		

			For sure, what you're going to say is something that they will dislike for sure.
		

			Because you're going to report them report something bad that they are doing, but in certain cases,
in certain situations, it is permissible.
		

			And which one of those cases well, case number one is to left a brush.
		

			lay your head to La Jolla hora de su immunol coly inland Mongolian Allah subhanaw taala does not
like for you to bring about something bad when you speak about something bad unless you're trying to
uplift oppressive oppression. Okay, case number one. case number one we know the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam came a companion Hadith he
		

			is
		

			one of the people came complaining about his neighbor to him
		

			Rasul the neighbor is complaining about his neighbor, right? Rasul sallallahu wasallam said, You
know what, go and take your belongings out of the house, put it on the road, and if the people pass
by you just let them know you did this because your neighbor is treating you bad. So here is the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam directed him to do up to do this act, right? He's actually going to
disclose his own pressure. I see your point. Yes. And he did this and at the end of the day that
people started cursing them and he came to the profit loss element and said yeah, Rasul Allah, I
will never go back to this. And he said, Go and take your neighbor back and apologize.
		

			Bam. So that's case number one. case number two, if you're seeking fatwah
		

			hadn't been taught that Alhaji Phil Herrick into the Prophet sallahu wa salam. And she said they are
a surah Allah, my husband, Abu sufian is Ramadan. miseq is stingy, he does not give me money.
Wouldn't you think that I was a fan who would not like this to be said about him? Of course, because
this is this is what backbiting right? But he needs to say something about another person in that
absence that they may dislike, but in this particular case, it is what it is permissible she has to
because she wants to find out how she's going to take care of herself and her children right how
she's going to spend on the family. Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to her take from his
		

			wealth without his knowledge, what is sufficient for you and your children but will not. Don't
overdo it? Right? only what is sufficient according to what is customary, right? So this is
exception number two, and particular surgery but in visiting Motovun limine maarif. Somebody who is
you're trying to let the people know about him. For example, you have a daughter, and somebody came
to marry her. And that that person is in my community. You called me and he told me shave off. Matt
is interested in marrying my daughter. What do you know about him? You think I should refrain from
no of course no have to say well, if he drinks I'm gonna tell you brother. Stay away from him. He
		

			drinks Yeah, okay. Even so it's backbiting but it's permissible in this case. Of course to actually
do this module here on fisken someone who's openly disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala because it opened
it normally you don't have a problem what Allah if he is Allah demon carry that you needing help
there is somebody out there ideal example we had this little boy His name is Malala is in the masjid
and, and Marilyn and PJ ma masala. And I taught the subject that the conditions or the cases in
which it is exceptional, basically that you could report right? People without being guilty of
backbiting. So the little boy went out of the street and you saw somebody messing out with the cars
		

			he's a little boy rushing out with the cars of the people he came back and told the homeless there's
someone out there so you could do that right? So there are cases you could report people to the
people who are in charge so they can in order to change that evil. So that's step number three.
Thank you so much Jake for this episode. I think it was very important now we want you clarified the
three steps to you know, enjoying the good and forbidding the evil. Next episode we want to talk
about consequences, right? Absolutely going to be a heavy episode I think inshallah, okay, and
forward to Athens inshallah. Thank you so much. You guys are awesome. I know you're looking forward
		

			to as well. So don't miss the next episode of nation of goodness. Until then I leave you in the care
of a law. Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
