I,
am speaking today because
to continue the series just started, like, last,
we may need to complete that.
We were talking about the
authority
of
the of Islam
Sharia. And we said that the first and
foremost
source of that authority is the of Allah.
It is the of Allah what Allah has
ruled in his book.
The second source of authority
and when I say second, I don't mean
less important or anything like this. 2nd meaning,
2 sources.
1 explains the other.
1 is the context.
The other 1 is the. The other 1
is the context.
1 is the rule, the other 1 is
the
reason for the rule.
The rule is the of Allah and the
context is the sunnat of Rasulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Salam. Now the authority of the
sunnah
comes from the Quran. This is something very
important to understand
because
there are
there is this group of people in the
world, and they have been there from the
beginning,
which are known as the who
deny
the authority
of the hadith, authority of sunnah.
This is a sign of gross
ignorance about the deen
and about
the of deen.
So we don't we are not angry with
them. We just tell them you don't know
what you're talking about. Right?
The authority of the sunnah
comes from the Quran.
So if somebody says
truly, sincerely,
the Quran is enough for me,
then he automatically
is saying
that I follow the sunnah.
If somebody says the Quran is enough for
me, meaning I don't follow the sunnah, then
it means he is either
talking out of ignorance or mischief. Because if
the Quran is enough for you, then how
come you take something from the Quran and
you leave out something else?
So I will give you the from the
Quran only
So that the people, if there is any
doubt in anybody's mind, it will be removed.
Now what is the authority of Rasulullah
According to the Quran,
I will not mention any hadith.
All the hadith which I want
to mention are Sahih and Musdar are the
hadith.
I believe them and they are true, but
for the purpose of our discussion, I will
not mention that. I mentioned only the ad
of the Quran.
The first aya aya or aya of the
Quran I want to mention is from where
Allah
very categorically and clearly said.
Allah said he does not speak from his
own wish.
He does not speak from his own volition.
He does not speak from his own desire.
Whatever he says is what
has been sent to him as wahi.
Right? This is the kalam of Allah
If anybody has any doubt, go look it
up.
So, first,
Dalil of the
position of
2nd Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in Surahul Hashir.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said
Allah
says and see the that is the reason
why it is important to understand the Arabic
language.
It is a blanket statement.
Without any
qualification.
Whatever he gives you. Whatever he gives you.
Gives meaning
whatever he commands you, whatever he gives you.
Take it.
Hold on to it. Accept it.
Acknowledge it.
Whatever he prevents you from,
have Allah
fear Allah's
punishment
in Allah.
Allah did not say Allah
said he will punish you very severely.
Right?
Whatever.
Why?
Because
The reason why
the blanket
statement and the blanket command is given, take
whatever my Rasool tells you is because
whatever he tells you, he is commanded to
tell you it's not him.
That is why in another place, Allah
said,
Whoever has obeyed the Rasul has obeyed Allah.
It is not because the Rasul is Allah.
No?
It's because whatever the Rasul is saying is
actually from Allah.
Right? Whatever.
And then he said,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala at another place, Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
Whoever
obeys him
will gain,
will be guided.
And finally,
for those, may Allah make us among them,
who want to fulfill the sunnah,
Allah
gave the greatest Allah
said
Allah says, say to those who claim
to love Allah
and they make all these claims.
Let's just tell them, if you love Allah,
make my
itiba. Allah did not say, Allah
said, fata bioni.
Allah did not obey me. He said
Then what will happen?
Allah
Allah will love you.
Allah will love you.
And if Allah loves you, what is the
boundary condition? What is the minimum?
Your sins will be forgiven which means Jannah
is yours.
And this is the first condition
boundary condition.
Now my point is,
what is the difference between and
Allah, why did Allah not say? Because Allah
said, the word with respect to Allah has
mentioned many times.
In the whole of the Quran Al Kareem,
for those of you who don't know this,
Allah
mentioned
himself
with the Rasool
every single time.
Right?
Allah never said
Never.
But he said
without saying.
Allah
never
mentioned
because Allah knows
that there will come a time people will
say, Allah said, obey him. That's enough.
Allah said, obey Allah and the Rasul. Allah
and the Rasul.
And if you want 1, obey the rasul.
Obey the rasul. Because if you obey the
rasul, you can't go wrong because he whatever
he tells you is from Allah.
Now itiba and itaat,
the fuck.
The difference
is between
obedience
and
love.
Please understand this. For,
there is a condition.
And the condition is.
Without a, you cannot do it.
Is here. I if I tell you, you
have not obeyed me. You are disobeying me.
What will he say? He said, I will
never told me anything.
Okay. I'm asking him to do something. He's
not doing it. But if I'm not given
an instruction, how can he disobey? In the
absence of an instruction, you cannot disobey. Right?
But
is love.
Is imitation.
Is emulation.
You have, you know, youth, for example, they
have a a particular kind of haircut, or
they will wear a particular kind of cap,
or they will wear a particular kind of
dress.
Why?
Because there is some
so called influencer
or so some film actor or some
football or basketball star who they are following.
To to
be puts his, you know, cap
backwards or he will do something.
Now
if you ask him, you are wearing a
cap like Michael
by Michael Jordan. I was about to say
Michael Jackson. I said you're you're wearing your
cap like Michael Jordan. Do you know Michael
Jordan?
No. Does Michael Jordan know you?
Does Michael Jordan even know if you exist?
Then why are you wearing it like this?
Because I love Michael Jordan.
I love Michael
Is there anybody who loves Mohammed sassalla?
To to do to to look like him
to have a beard,
to act like him,
to be like him.
You need Dalil, and you need and you
need this, and you need that.
The 1 who loves the love itself
is. There's no other necessary.
Your morning begins with removing the sign of
Muhammad
from your face.
Then you say my is not accept. How
will it be accepted?
Allah made you with his beard. There there
is there is a
There's a shine in the beard.
Go to a railway station.
There are hundreds of people that live live
live live platform in India. In those hundreds
of people you find 2 sick
gentlemen. You will see that from a distance.
Why?
He has a turban on his head.
He has a big beard.
Hello?
So I remind myself when you love.
Final point to close,
the argument that people make is 1
about the cross pollination of date pumps.
The incident was that when
first came to,
in Mecca, there was no cultivation because there
was no water. Literally, water was a problem
in Mecca. So there was no. But in
Medina, Medina was a oasis, so lots of
and gardens and grapes and all kinds of
things.
So as soon as Saddam was walking down
the street, some people were with him. And
he saw some people cross pollinating
date palms, because date palms, there's a male
plant and a female plant where the flowers
are separate. The male flower has the stamens.
The female flower has the pistols,
and the pollen has to be physically,
taken from the male flower
and dusted onto the stamens. Otherwise, you won't
get a crop.
So these people are doing it.
So
did not know what they would.
He asked, what are they doing? They said,
yeah, this is what they are doing. He
said, oh, is that right? Oh, I don't
know. I don't think this helps.
He just expressed their opinion. I don't think
it. Now the and
their
desire to obey was such
that they did not even need a.
Somebody told them the prophet
said,
this is something which may not be useful.
Just stop doing
it.
Now, obviously, they stopped doing it. They did
not did not get a crop because like
a. Allah Allah's,
you know, the the genetic issue of the
dead palm is there. So they their crop,
they had a poor crop that year.
Then they came and complained. They say, we
had a very poor crop.
He said, why? He said, because you said
not to pollinate the date palms.
So said
to them,
I did not
command you not to pollinate their path. I
only expressed an opinion. You are free to
deal in your matters
of the world in nature as you know,
as you see fit. Right? This is.
Now the Quran,
the people who want to deny the hadith
and want to disobey the they say, see,
Rasulullah
himself said, we need not follow anything he
said in our worldly affairs. We can run
our worldly affairs any way we like, and
this hadith is Dalil. This proof.
Now this anyone who says that, this hadith
is proof that you have no knowledge. Simple.
Because the hadith is very clear.
Is saying,
in this matter where I merely express an
opinion, you are free to do what you
want. He did not say, don't obey me
in anything. No.
But
wherever
gave a
The Quran is
that you accept it and you obey
it. Otherwise, you have a problem.
So this hadith cannot be used for this.
If somebody using it, please explain to them.
Sorry. It doesn't work.
The is to be obeyed in every matter,
not only in how to pray
or how to fast or how to. No.
In every matter.
The whole of life.
Finally,
I want to end with this again, ayat
of the Quran,
which Allah
changed the
parameter of punishment
with regard to sin.
The of the sharia is
that until
you
say something which is sinful or do something
which is sinful, you are not liable for
punishment.
If you get a sinful thought or if
you get a sinful idea or if you
think something sinful
or if you get a sinful desire,
you are not liable for punishment unless you
speak that or unless you do it.
Right? I don't want to give examples and
so on. We understand these examples,
except in 1 case.
Except in 1 case.
There is 1 case in which
even if you have a desire, you are
not only punishable. Allah
said you are not even Muslim.
That's severe. What is that? Allah
said,
Allah
took an oath by himself.
No by your rabb.
Who is saying this? Himself.
They cannot have
until
Until they accept
your.
It doesn't end with that.
And they do not even have
they do not even have
any resistance to that in their hearts.
In this ayat,
Allah
is saying
that
they cannot have.
By your, they cannot have. They are not
Muslim. They do not have until they accept
completely and totally
your ruling, your,
your order,
and they do not even feel any resistance
or anything
against it in their hearts, and they accept
your order with complete submission.
And I was explaining
that this issue of
being culpable and punishable for having a thought
or idea in your heart is only in
this case. In every other case in the
sharia, for you to be culpable for something,
having a thought is not culpability.
It's not punishable. If a person feels like
drinking alcohol, it is not it's not a
good thought, but he is not punishable for
that. He will be punishable only if he
goes and drinks alcohol.
He might have a desire. Maybe the person
is an old alcoholic.
He has kicked the habit. He's no longer
drinking now. Before Islam, maybe he accepted Islam.
Before Islam, he used to drink. Now it
now after accepting that. But, you know, this
feeling, oh, I wish I had a drink.
Somebody else is drinking. Oh, I wish I
could get something in the heart. But he
is not saying that. He is not doing
it. He
is not
culpable. He is not punishable. But in the
case of someone,
when the of Rasool Allah sallam comes and
this person does not obey, does not have
that,
not only does not obey, he he he
may even obey. He might even obey, but
in his heart, he dislikes that order Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying, this person has
no iman.
The position
of our we have to understand.
People who deny the hadith, they must understand
that the entire Koran al Kareem is hadith.
What is hadith? Hadith is the.
Is the speech of the prophet
So where did you get the Quran from?
From the prophet
The Quran al Kareem is the kalam of
Allah,
but it came to us.
In the voice of Muhammad,
we did not hear Allah. We heard Muhammad.
So I remind myself and you, we end
we end with this. We ask Allah
to fill our hearts with the azaama, with
the 'izza, with the love, and the hope
of Muhammad
and make this a means of our najat
and
our
jannah inshallah when we meet Allah We ask
Allah to help us understand. We have a
beautiful deed
by all 1400
years of scholars and scholarly
work.
Let us follow that.
Let us not get sidetracked
by this 1 and that 1. Some modern
people come out of the they're like worms
from under stones. No. Follow
the people
of the deen, who followed the,
who followed Muhammad.
