00:00:42--> 00:00:45

My dear respected brothers, and we have sisters,

00:00:51--> 00:00:52

the subject,

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

I have is the called unity.

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

And let me begin,

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

by making that statement,

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

and I will validate it with evidence.

00:01:06--> 00:01:09

The call to the aid is the call

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

to unity.

00:01:12--> 00:01:13

When you call people

00:01:15--> 00:01:15

to

00:01:16--> 00:01:17

stand

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

on the foundation

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

of singling out Allah

00:01:22--> 00:01:23

when it comes to his

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

names and attributes,

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

acts of lordship,

00:01:30--> 00:01:31

when it comes to his worship.

00:01:33--> 00:01:34

Actually, you're calling people.

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

What is the evidence for them?

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

I want you to

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

look at your phone and break your Quran

00:01:49--> 00:01:51

out and look at verse

00:01:52--> 00:01:52

2 115,

00:01:53--> 00:01:54

Surah al Bakr.

00:02:15--> 00:02:16

Read what

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

and others

00:02:20--> 00:02:22

explain why they were a single family.

00:02:23--> 00:02:24

They said,

00:02:26--> 00:02:26

hate.

00:02:28--> 00:02:30

So they used to be 1 single family

00:02:30--> 00:02:33

because they all were a point of hate.

00:02:35--> 00:02:36

The moment that shirk

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

was introduced

00:02:39--> 00:02:40

into

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

earth, that's how they divided,

00:02:43--> 00:02:44

And, consequently,

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

the need arise

00:02:47--> 00:02:50

for messengers and prophets to come to bring

00:02:51--> 00:02:54

people back to what unites them again.

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

What

00:03:38--> 00:03:39

then? Those 5 crisis people.

00:03:40--> 00:03:40

The

00:03:41--> 00:03:42

people loved it.

00:03:43--> 00:03:44

They started going to their graves,

00:03:45--> 00:03:47

visiting them, spending time there.

00:03:48--> 00:03:49

Later on,

00:03:50--> 00:03:52

they actually made idols of them.

00:03:53--> 00:03:55

They actually ended up

00:03:56--> 00:03:57

worshiping them

00:03:57--> 00:03:58

literally

00:03:59--> 00:04:01

because they loved them.

00:04:01--> 00:04:03

So, actually, the first time

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

of alafism,

00:04:06--> 00:04:08

of shirk which emerged

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

on the face of this earth is the

00:04:11--> 00:04:13

shirk when it comes to the waves,

00:04:14--> 00:04:15

shirkulpu'woo,

00:04:17--> 00:04:20

which really was generated from shirkul Mahatta, which

00:04:20--> 00:04:21

is a very devastating fire

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

So the call to the is

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

the call to it.

00:05:08--> 00:05:09

I heard the evidence.

00:05:10--> 00:05:12

Is the evidence convincing you?

00:05:13--> 00:05:15

This is a Quran from the Quran and

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

the understanding of

00:05:17--> 00:05:20

the first generation of Muslims, especially Abu Dhabi

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

and Abbas.

00:05:21--> 00:05:22

Someone Rasulullah

00:05:23--> 00:05:27

made du'a for him. Allah made that we.

00:05:27--> 00:05:28

Oh, Allah teach him

00:05:37--> 00:05:40

unity is a harvest of the heat.

00:05:42--> 00:05:44

That's why you don't have to worry about

00:05:44--> 00:05:46

it. You see people you see what people

00:05:46--> 00:05:48

we gotta be united. We're gonna be united.

00:05:48--> 00:05:50

We're gonna no. No. No. It doesn't go

00:05:50--> 00:05:53

this way. Unity comes when

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

We're talking about the unity of what?

00:06:04--> 00:06:05

Of the hearts.

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

You see, when Allah

00:06:26--> 00:06:29

and with the believers in reference to to

00:06:29--> 00:06:30

the companions.

00:06:49--> 00:06:50

If you spin

00:06:50--> 00:06:51

the entire

00:06:52--> 00:06:52

earth,

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

the wealth in the entire earth,

00:06:55--> 00:06:57

to actually bring them together, you cannot.

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

Yeah. You may bring bodies together,

00:07:37--> 00:07:39

Islam allowed them to to adopt,

00:07:40--> 00:07:40

beliefs

00:07:41--> 00:07:44

indifferent to mine, but Islam doesn't stop me

00:07:44--> 00:07:46

from working with them. Likewise, I can work

00:07:46--> 00:07:47

with any Muslim.

00:07:49--> 00:07:50

Name him,

00:07:51--> 00:07:52

whatever

00:07:53--> 00:07:53

his is, I can work with him. I

00:07:53--> 00:07:53

don't have an issue with

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

But if we're talking about unity to serve

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

the deen of Allah

00:08:09--> 00:08:10

as a,

00:08:11--> 00:08:13

the only way we're gonna do this is.

00:08:15--> 00:08:17

Otherwise, it's a waste of time. Waste of.

00:08:18--> 00:08:21

But let's move one step further here.

00:08:22--> 00:08:25

We have a wealth of text, abundance

00:08:25--> 00:08:26

of text

00:08:28--> 00:08:28

regarding,

00:08:29--> 00:08:29

enjoying

00:08:30--> 00:08:33

to come together to be unite to be

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

united.

00:08:44--> 00:08:45

And I always look at this verse.

00:08:46--> 00:08:47

I think there are 87. If I'm not

00:08:47--> 00:08:48

mistaken.

00:08:49--> 00:08:50

87,

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

it was something good you're being directed to

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

do

00:09:10--> 00:09:11

or something that is harmful,

00:09:12--> 00:09:14

you're not supposed to do.

00:09:14--> 00:09:16

Allah is the one who's telling you not

00:09:16--> 00:09:17

to do it.

00:09:19--> 00:09:21

In my opinion, the most

00:09:22--> 00:09:22

essential,

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

is

00:09:25--> 00:09:27

the verse that comes before the theme of

00:09:27--> 00:09:28

your conference.

00:09:31--> 00:09:32

What what does it say?

00:09:55--> 00:09:57

Why? Because that's

00:09:58--> 00:10:00

based on this, your is decided.

00:10:03--> 00:10:05

Dying as a Muslim, at least, will

00:10:05--> 00:10:06

give you Jannah.

00:10:08--> 00:10:09

Not necessarily directly.

00:10:26--> 00:10:27

One way

00:10:29--> 00:10:30

to die in the Muslim

00:10:31--> 00:10:33

that you hold fast

00:10:33--> 00:10:35

to what unites you,

00:10:36--> 00:10:38

which is the book of Allah.

00:10:38--> 00:10:39

In this verse,

00:10:47--> 00:10:48

We have also,

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

the prophet

00:10:52--> 00:10:56

that any sheep that strays from the community,

00:10:56--> 00:10:57

the flocks,

00:10:58--> 00:11:00

is gonna be hunted by the wolves.

00:11:01--> 00:11:02

So there is abundance

00:11:03--> 00:11:04

of verses

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

and sunnah

00:11:07--> 00:11:08

which talks about

00:11:09--> 00:11:11

unity being together and the virtue of that.

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

But the question I'm gonna ask you,

00:11:15--> 00:11:16

did the prophet

00:11:59--> 00:11:59

His

00:12:00--> 00:12:02

his admonition, his mawela,

00:12:03--> 00:12:05

his talk was so effective that

00:12:06--> 00:12:08

the companions who were

00:12:08--> 00:12:09

present actually

00:12:09--> 00:12:10

broken tears.

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

But Adnan said to him, this looks like

00:12:13--> 00:12:14

it's a fable.

00:12:15--> 00:12:15

Kinda

00:12:16--> 00:12:17

advise. It's it's heartfelt.

00:12:47--> 00:12:48

Interesting thing about

00:12:48--> 00:12:49

even in the reference

00:12:50--> 00:12:52

to the lack of unity, the prophet

00:12:53--> 00:12:53

is indicating

00:12:54--> 00:12:55

what led to that.

00:12:56--> 00:12:58

And also he's giving you

00:12:59--> 00:13:02

the way to come back. Is it I

00:13:02--> 00:13:02

left

00:13:03--> 00:13:05

amongst you? What will unite me?

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

The book of Allah

00:13:07--> 00:13:08

and my

00:13:26--> 00:13:27

There is another instance.

00:13:30--> 00:13:30

The,

00:13:31--> 00:13:31

verse.

00:13:58--> 00:13:59

Telling

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

you

00:14:01--> 00:14:04

what will get you back together is the

00:14:04--> 00:14:05

obedience of Allah

00:14:06--> 00:14:07

and his messenger.

00:14:09--> 00:14:10

The,

00:14:10--> 00:14:12

you know, the the the third instance is

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

the famous one,

00:14:15--> 00:14:17

which is hadith al Farq.

00:14:19--> 00:14:20

The

00:14:20--> 00:14:22

will divide into 73¢.

00:14:24--> 00:14:26

All of them

00:14:26--> 00:14:27

are on misguidance.

00:14:28--> 00:14:30

And in the prophet said, now

00:14:32--> 00:14:35

we could delete. Is it eternal now or

00:14:36--> 00:14:38

is it temporary because they are going to

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

hate?

00:14:39--> 00:14:41

This is something that we can discuss.

00:14:58--> 00:15:01

The way that I and my companions are

00:15:01--> 00:15:02

born today.

00:15:04--> 00:15:06

And that is why Sheikh Ibrahim can

00:15:17--> 00:15:18

So this is one.

00:15:19--> 00:15:21

The second answer is a jama'ah.

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

The community

00:15:24--> 00:15:28

now here's the misconception regarding jama'ah. A lot

00:15:28--> 00:15:30

of people translate the jama'ah and they say

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

the masses.

00:15:40--> 00:15:42

What the prophet and his companions

00:15:43--> 00:15:44

understood and implemented,

00:15:45--> 00:15:46

and they grouped

00:15:47--> 00:15:50

to follow them. They came together to follow

00:15:50--> 00:15:51

them,

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

not the numbers,

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

not

00:15:56--> 00:15:58

one of the things that people use. Look,

00:16:15--> 00:16:17

As long as you follow the Quran and

00:16:17--> 00:16:19

the sunnah based on the understanding of those

00:16:20--> 00:16:22

3 generations of Muslims, you are the even

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

if you're alone.

00:16:24--> 00:16:25

Because that's

00:16:26--> 00:16:27

the detector.

00:16:28--> 00:16:31

It's following the Quran and sunnah bees on

00:16:31--> 00:16:32

the understanding of.

00:16:32--> 00:16:33

That's it.

00:16:34--> 00:16:36

Now any people who grew up with that,

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

this is a jama'am.

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

Amazingly,

00:16:42--> 00:16:43

the prophet when

00:16:43--> 00:16:44

he

00:16:52--> 00:16:54

One funny piece that I heard from one

00:16:54--> 00:16:56

of those people who, you know, have an

00:16:56--> 00:16:58

issue with this hadith.

00:17:20--> 00:17:23

This is not something that we follow about

00:17:23--> 00:17:25

his what he said. He said, you wanna

00:17:25--> 00:17:27

tell me all this and there's only one

00:17:27--> 00:17:28

group of.

00:18:43--> 00:18:45

Trying and working hard to unite, but it's

00:18:45--> 00:18:46

not working,

00:18:46--> 00:18:47

what are you gonna do?

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

You're gonna get down?

00:18:50--> 00:18:51

You're gonna hand yourself in the ceiling?

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

We're not gonna do that.

00:19:22--> 00:19:23

Here's the first instance

00:19:24--> 00:19:27

where the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam refilled

00:19:29--> 00:19:31

explaining verse number 65,

00:19:32--> 00:19:34

chapter in an

00:19:38--> 00:19:39

Arab.

00:20:16--> 00:20:17

A thunderstorm.

00:20:18--> 00:20:21

Allah answered his dua. I'm not gonna destroy

00:20:21--> 00:20:22

Muslims collectively.

00:21:43--> 00:21:45

Because unity is the way to hope for

00:21:45--> 00:21:48

the Ummah if we wanna achieve something, if

00:21:48--> 00:21:49

we wanna change the course of action.

00:21:51--> 00:21:53

You see, Islam is not a one man

00:21:53--> 00:21:53

show.

00:21:54--> 00:21:56

You're not for sure if you're watching these,

00:21:56--> 00:21:58

Hollywood, Bollywood movies.

00:22:44--> 00:22:46

Okay, to go and feed some hungry people

00:22:46--> 00:22:47

in in Africa.

00:22:47--> 00:22:48

No problem.

00:22:48--> 00:22:49

I can unite with anybody.

00:22:50--> 00:22:51

I can work with anybody

00:22:52--> 00:22:54

for common causes

00:22:55--> 00:22:56

which will benefit your humanity.

00:22:57--> 00:22:58

But when it comes to the work of

00:22:58--> 00:22:59

Allah,

00:22:59--> 00:23:00

no.

00:23:00--> 00:23:01

It's

00:23:04--> 00:23:06

And I'm not chill here.

00:23:08--> 00:23:08

Obviously,

00:23:09--> 00:23:10

the only way

00:23:20--> 00:23:21

understanding of

00:23:22--> 00:23:24

the first day generations of Muslims.

00:23:26--> 00:23:27

Now

00:23:28--> 00:23:30

where are the areas of contention?

00:23:32--> 00:23:34

Let's look into the landscape.

00:23:35--> 00:23:37

I chose 5

00:23:37--> 00:23:38

5 areas.

00:23:40--> 00:23:41

We're inviting

00:23:42--> 00:23:43

those people

00:23:44--> 00:23:45

who have differences

00:23:46--> 00:23:48

to go back and know mister Quran and

00:23:48--> 00:23:51

Sunnah Amor will revert to me.

00:23:52--> 00:23:56

The first issue brothers and sisters in Islam,

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

the Muslims

00:23:58--> 00:23:59

differ upon,

00:24:00--> 00:24:01

is

00:24:02--> 00:24:03

the nature,

00:24:04--> 00:24:04

modality

00:24:06--> 00:24:08

of iman. What is iman?

00:24:10--> 00:24:12

What is the definition of iman?

00:24:14--> 00:24:17

And they differed on a key issue,

00:24:20--> 00:24:21

whether iman

00:24:22--> 00:24:24

goes up and down or not.

00:24:42--> 00:24:43

It doesn't go up and down.

00:25:04--> 00:25:07

Woman from this woman. 1000 scores from this

00:25:07--> 00:25:09

woman. All of them say, and

00:25:41--> 00:25:41

evolution

00:25:42--> 00:25:44

of a sect in the Ummah called

00:26:24--> 00:26:26

like a cock. That's all. But I just

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

don't play 5 times a day.

00:26:29--> 00:26:30

Oh, now that's the culture.

00:26:39--> 00:26:40

But

00:26:43--> 00:26:43

they're

00:26:54--> 00:26:57

So you the the Quran and sunnah

00:26:58--> 00:26:59

established that

00:27:30--> 00:27:32

you know, I don't even think you feel

00:27:32--> 00:27:34

the same way you felt when you entered

00:27:34--> 00:27:35

that room.

00:27:54--> 00:27:55

By the angels.

00:27:56--> 00:27:57

And I said, Hamdul?

00:27:57--> 00:28:00

He actually accused him of Huqus. He said,

00:28:01--> 00:28:02

Why?

00:28:20--> 00:28:21

That's iman.

00:28:22--> 00:28:24

Mister Asharab, Matuili,

00:28:25--> 00:28:27

we're gonna lie to you. Can you go

00:28:27--> 00:28:29

to the text and see

00:29:29--> 00:29:32

People of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said about

00:29:32--> 00:29:34

them in the Quran that I'm pleased with

00:29:34--> 00:29:36

them. I'm happy with them.

00:29:39--> 00:29:40

Isn't it in the

00:29:40--> 00:29:41

Quran?

00:29:41--> 00:29:43

So you want me to go and and

00:29:43--> 00:29:45

appease them at the expense of

00:29:47--> 00:29:49

But again, I I will also tell you

00:29:49--> 00:29:50

something.

00:29:50--> 00:29:53

The attention here. The attention here.

00:29:54--> 00:29:56

We're not calling them kufar either.

00:30:32--> 00:30:32

Taught.

00:30:33--> 00:30:34

They should learn

00:30:35--> 00:30:36

how to go up.

00:30:39--> 00:30:41

What is the issue of the suf?

00:30:42--> 00:30:44

Okay. We have an issue.

00:30:46--> 00:30:47

Apart from

00:30:47--> 00:30:48

the belief

00:30:49--> 00:30:49

system,

00:30:51--> 00:30:51

the issue

00:30:52--> 00:30:53

of waseera.

00:30:54--> 00:30:55

They tell you you must have a waseera

00:30:55--> 00:30:56

du Allah.

00:31:24--> 00:31:26

Four means to give to Allah.

00:31:27--> 00:31:29

Not someone who's buried in the grave,

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

who's dead,

00:31:32--> 00:31:34

who needs my help.

00:31:36--> 00:31:38

You need someone who's what?

00:31:38--> 00:31:41

You need what? Something that you can adopt.

00:31:43--> 00:31:44

Like what? Number 1,

00:32:06--> 00:32:07

Which is better here?

00:32:08--> 00:32:10

Allah is asking you to call upon him.

00:32:11--> 00:32:13

Brace me with these names

00:32:13--> 00:32:14

of mine

00:32:15--> 00:32:16

I yield myself with.

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

Your righteous deeds.

00:32:19--> 00:32:21

Employ your righteous deeds.

00:32:32--> 00:32:34

Someone that you assume that he is a

00:32:34--> 00:32:35

good person.

00:32:36--> 00:32:39

Because again, the day of them who's best,

00:32:39--> 00:32:40

who's good, and who's bad.

00:33:07--> 00:33:09

To do what? Ask him to do so

00:33:09--> 00:33:10

far for you.

00:33:12--> 00:33:13

Allah goes,

00:33:13--> 00:33:15

so ask someone who think

00:34:27--> 00:34:29

If people who are buried in the grave

00:34:30--> 00:34:32

has any impact, they would have gone to

00:34:32--> 00:34:32

the grave.

00:34:33--> 00:34:34

Rasulullah.

00:35:01--> 00:35:02

He may be forced. He lives in a

00:35:02--> 00:35:03

culture where

00:35:04--> 00:35:05

people have to do that. And if you

00:35:05--> 00:35:06

don't do that,

00:35:07--> 00:35:08

you lose a lot of privileges.

00:35:09--> 00:35:10

Or maybe he's forgetting.

00:35:18--> 00:35:20

What? I'm not an I'm not an intelligence

00:35:20--> 00:35:21

of quality with cattle.

00:35:23--> 00:35:25

You know? You have to do that.

00:36:02--> 00:36:03

I mentioned,

00:36:04--> 00:36:06

5 areas of contention,

00:36:07--> 00:36:07

between,

00:36:10--> 00:36:12

the people who follow the Quran and sunnah

00:36:12--> 00:36:15

bees on the understanding of Salafi Ummah,

00:36:15--> 00:36:16

and the,

00:36:19--> 00:36:19

sets

00:36:20--> 00:36:22

which evolved in the Muslim world,

00:36:24--> 00:36:25

who claimed that they follow the Quran in

00:36:25--> 00:36:27

Sunnah, but unfortunately,

00:36:28--> 00:36:29

their understanding

00:36:29--> 00:36:30

is not,

00:36:32--> 00:36:33

aligned

00:36:33--> 00:36:35

with the understanding of Salafil Ummah.

00:36:36--> 00:36:39

And I happen to mention only 4,

00:36:40--> 00:36:42

and I forgot to mention the 5th,

00:36:43--> 00:36:43

area,

00:36:44--> 00:36:46

which I'm gonna attempt to do now.

00:36:48--> 00:36:50

This area actually was, number 2 in my

00:36:50--> 00:36:51

list,

00:36:52--> 00:36:53

after the,

00:36:53--> 00:36:54

area of,

00:36:55--> 00:36:55

Iman,

00:36:57--> 00:36:59

faith and the definition of faith, and the

00:36:59--> 00:37:01

fact that faith goes up and down,

00:37:02--> 00:37:04

is the area of the names and the

00:37:04--> 00:37:05

attributes

00:37:05--> 00:37:06

of Allah

00:37:09--> 00:37:10

And this is a huge

00:37:11--> 00:37:11

arena,

00:37:12--> 00:37:12

simply,

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

because,

00:37:16--> 00:37:17

many of these

00:37:19--> 00:37:22

groups, Muslim groups, whether Sufi, whether,

00:37:23--> 00:37:24

you name them,

00:37:24--> 00:37:25

intellectual

00:37:27--> 00:37:27

country,

00:37:28--> 00:37:29

or,

00:37:30--> 00:37:30

or,

00:37:33--> 00:37:34

Ashari Matooridi.

00:37:35--> 00:37:36

That's an area,

00:37:36--> 00:37:37

major

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

area of contention.

00:37:40--> 00:37:41

But they do not

00:37:42--> 00:37:43

simply understand

00:37:43--> 00:37:46

the names and the attributes, the way

00:37:47--> 00:37:48

of the sahaba. Although,

00:37:49--> 00:37:50

they may claim that,

00:37:50--> 00:37:52

but in essence, no.

00:37:53--> 00:37:55

Just a very simple query.

00:37:56--> 00:37:57

Ask them

00:37:57--> 00:37:58

the simple question.

00:37:59--> 00:38:00

Where is Allah?

00:38:01--> 00:38:02

Many of them.

00:38:03--> 00:38:04

Of course, some of them will begin by

00:38:04--> 00:38:07

saying, you shouldn't be asking that question. I'm

00:38:07--> 00:38:09

I can't. Because Fusiliman Muslim,

00:38:10--> 00:38:12

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, when he was

00:38:12--> 00:38:15

informed by one of his companions, Muawiy ibn

00:38:15--> 00:38:16

Hakim Sulami,

00:38:17--> 00:38:18

that he slapped 1

00:38:18--> 00:38:19

female,

00:38:19--> 00:38:21

slave that he had.

00:38:22--> 00:38:23

He said bring her to me, and he

00:38:23--> 00:38:25

asked her the question, where is Allah?

00:38:26--> 00:38:28

So you we can ask that question. I'm

00:38:28--> 00:38:29

sorry. I apologize.

00:38:29--> 00:38:30

We can ask that question.

00:38:32--> 00:38:34

But how to answer it,

00:38:35--> 00:38:35

is the issue.

00:38:36--> 00:38:37

They don't want to

00:38:40--> 00:38:42

basically submit to

00:38:42--> 00:38:44

the Quran and sunnah.

00:38:44--> 00:38:46

That Allah rose above the throne in a

00:38:46--> 00:38:48

way that suits His Majesty and He's above

00:38:48--> 00:38:49

His creation. Yes.

00:38:50--> 00:38:53

He knows and sees everything, and his highness

00:38:53--> 00:38:55

does not negate his nearness.

00:38:56--> 00:38:57

Of course,

00:38:57--> 00:38:58

the other

00:38:58--> 00:38:59

is

00:38:59--> 00:39:00

their interpretation,

00:39:01--> 00:39:01

affirming,

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

negating

00:39:04--> 00:39:06

is a huge mass,

00:39:07--> 00:39:07

those people

00:39:08--> 00:39:11

have regarding the names and the attributes of

00:39:11--> 00:39:14

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And SubhanAllah, we're talking

00:39:14--> 00:39:15

about knowing

00:39:16--> 00:39:16

our Lord

00:39:17--> 00:39:20

and being able to perceive him the way

00:39:20--> 00:39:22

that he wanted us to do that. We're

00:39:22--> 00:39:26

not talking about something light, something that is,

00:39:26--> 00:39:28

simple. That is the

00:39:28--> 00:39:29

fundamental

00:39:29--> 00:39:30

of the religion.

00:39:32--> 00:39:34

Of course, one of the

00:39:35--> 00:39:36

funny things that they,

00:39:37--> 00:39:39

bring up when the subject is brought up

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

is they say, why would we talk about

00:39:41--> 00:39:43

something that disunite us?

00:39:44--> 00:39:46

Don't bring the subject of the names and

00:39:46--> 00:39:47

the attributes.

00:39:47--> 00:39:49

You know, it's not important. Isma'a and Saqqat

00:39:49--> 00:39:51

is not important. I'm sorry.

00:39:52--> 00:39:54

This goes totally against the understanding

00:39:54--> 00:39:56

of the first three generations of Muslims. I'll

00:39:56--> 00:39:57

give you an example.

00:39:59--> 00:40:00

Abdullah ibn Umar,

00:40:00--> 00:40:03

when he was told by those 2 individuals

00:40:03--> 00:40:04

who came from Al Basra,

00:40:09--> 00:40:10

and the other,

00:40:10--> 00:40:11

friend of his,

00:40:13--> 00:40:16

they came to complain about people who claim

00:40:16--> 00:40:18

that they know the Quran. They actually recite

00:40:18--> 00:40:19

the Quran, but yet,

00:40:21--> 00:40:23

they say there is no Qadr.

00:40:23--> 00:40:26

They actually negated the attribute of knowledge.

00:40:28--> 00:40:29

You see that the entire subject of Al

00:40:29--> 00:40:31

Qadr is is is founded on

00:40:32--> 00:40:32

on,

00:40:33--> 00:40:35

the names and the attributes of Allah

00:40:36--> 00:40:38

Look what Abu Lahaina said to them. I

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

disclaim them, and they should disclaim me.

00:40:42--> 00:40:42

Another,

00:40:43--> 00:40:44

incident, Ilham Malik.

00:40:45--> 00:40:46

Someone asked him,

00:40:47--> 00:40:48

how did Allah

00:40:49--> 00:40:51

rose above the throne, Ilham Malik? Look how

00:40:51--> 00:40:53

offended he was Ilham Malik.

00:40:54--> 00:40:55

Because

00:40:56--> 00:40:57

he sensed that this person

00:40:58--> 00:41:02

is trying to engage in an area that

00:41:02--> 00:41:04

Allah did not ask him to engage in

00:41:04--> 00:41:05

regarding,

00:41:06--> 00:41:08

his divine essence and his names and attributes.

00:41:13--> 00:41:15

Only Allah knows how Allah is. We believe

00:41:15--> 00:41:17

that Allah ascends upon

00:41:18--> 00:41:19

the throne in a way that suits his

00:41:19--> 00:41:21

majesty. But

00:41:21--> 00:41:24

the modality and the reality of that,

00:41:25--> 00:41:27

were not to seek it.

00:41:27--> 00:41:28

Were not to,

00:41:29--> 00:41:30

search for it.

00:41:31--> 00:41:33

And if we happen to fail,

00:41:34--> 00:41:37

because of the insinuation of shayatan, we always

00:41:37--> 00:41:40

resort to subhanallah. Allah is above that.

00:41:42--> 00:41:43

Whatever

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

your intellectual

00:41:45--> 00:41:45

capacity,

00:41:46--> 00:41:47

produces

00:41:47--> 00:41:50

of Allah, his names and attributes, and its

00:41:50--> 00:41:51

modality.

00:41:52--> 00:41:54

Is Allah above that. Always Allah above that.

00:41:56--> 00:41:58

Well, last is Ilham Ahmed.

00:41:58--> 00:42:00

While Ilham Ahmed was flogged,

00:42:02--> 00:42:04

do you guys know why he was flogged?

00:42:04--> 00:42:05

Because individuals

00:42:05--> 00:42:08

wanted to cancel out, negate the

00:42:09--> 00:42:11

attribute of speech from Allah.

00:42:12--> 00:42:14

That is why they said the Quran is

00:42:14--> 00:42:14

created

00:42:15--> 00:42:16

because do you want to believe that Allah

00:42:16--> 00:42:17

speaks?

00:42:19--> 00:42:21

Why would an imam of this Umma

00:42:21--> 00:42:22

get flogged?

00:42:23--> 00:42:24

Jailed?

00:42:25--> 00:42:26

Refusing to give in?

00:42:27--> 00:42:28

For what?

00:42:29--> 00:42:31

Because of something not important? Give me a

00:42:31--> 00:42:31

break.

00:42:32--> 00:42:33

So calling it unity

00:42:33--> 00:42:36

in closing your brothers and sisters in Iskam

00:42:37--> 00:42:37

must be

00:42:38--> 00:42:41

done properly. Otherwise, we're fighting. We're sticking in

00:42:41--> 00:42:42

again.

00:42:44--> 00:42:44

The who

00:42:45--> 00:42:45

the

00:42:46--> 00:42:46

Qur'an,

00:42:51--> 00:42:51

based on the understanding

00:42:51--> 00:42:51

based on the understanding
