			kulana mother evil Hungary
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:11
			salat wa salam ala Shadowfell MBA well mousseline Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to
Steven because he and my mother
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:17
			my brothers sisters, third question that I was asked was, What to do about birth this?
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:27
			So we don't like to celebrate birthdays we do we believe that it is not permissible. And people
celebrate
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:44
			Milad un Nabi for which there is no evidence, Christians celebrate Christmas which is not even on
the right day it is in December whereas according to the records of Christians, and everybody else
is Ali salaam was born in July, and so forth. So
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			my little child wants or wants her birthday party wants to invite
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			his or her friends home.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Once a gift once a cake,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:19
			everybody else is doing it. Other children are doing it including other relatives in the family that
when these cousins are doing it, maybe grandparents live with in the same house joint families and
the grandparents say well you know you're being too tough and you're being too rigid in this and
that you know, what does it matter Let the child enjoy himself or self
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			absorbed so parents are in a dilemma what must we do?
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:36
			How can we solve it but it's not. My question is two parts. Firstly, we have to differentiate
between what is desirable and undesirable and what is haram
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			like Imam Malik Muhammad Ali's to say
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			only what Allah has made Haram is haram.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			The other things are things that we
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			should do or should not do different different degree of
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:17
			seriousness and severity about that but only what Allah has made Haram is haram for example, Allah
subhanaw taala said yeah, you are living in harmony in in Alhambra, oh well may sue well and Cebu
well Islam will reach some in Malaysia and if I stunning Hola Hola. Hola Surat that made these
forces Ravana said
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			intoxicants which is alcohol and all forms of toxic forms.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:39
			All forms of gambling, Fortune, Fortune Telling fortune seeking ways to just do things we tattered
cards, astrology, all of the stuff.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			And all these good luck charms and whatnot.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:54
			Let's say these are all read so many families shaytan to these four things. And I said these are the
worst things from the actions of shatta. So the actions are shaytan
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			by themselves are the worst things in the world. And these are the worst of the actions.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:12
			Similarly, Allah's words that I made Lamelo Kinsey with them he made blood and he made the flesh of
swine haram made.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			Fornication, haram,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			a loss of that adultery in fornication that made them Hara
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:42
			the biggest one of what a thing which is haram, which are haram is schicke in measurecolor Ghoul
mana Viva la semana This is the biggest and the most serious and the greatest zulum The greatest
oppression that you can do because you're trying to introduce a partner with Allah subhanaw taala.
So what Allah has made Haram is haram.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			Other things
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:53
			are not haram in the sense for example, if you deliberately do something which is haram, considering
it to be halal,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:16
			right, there's a difference. Somebody drinks alcohol, because he's an alcoholic. This is a disease
this is a problem. The person is is an addict. And he's indulging in their addiction but he's doing
that with a sense of remorse. He wants us to help him to cure him inshallah Allah will cure him.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:26
			His action is wrong, but there is a difference between that person and the person who says I must
have my sundown or that far at sunset
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:50
			which is my whiskey I must have that and I thought arquivo Allah Tala logger for Rhema is no problem
I love it Forgive me there's no problem. There's a big difference between this person and that
person. You are this person is Oh see Allah did not say haram where is the word haram in the Quran
with regard to alcohol her resume and Alisha unfashionable. Oh Allah should have said this is haram.
Haram right.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			Al Hamid Allah say do not drink.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Drink whiskey and do not end
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			and make sure that it is haram. Allah said that why didn't you say in that 11? And so if somebody is
arguing this completely insane way, then you have to, you know,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			help them understand
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:26
			that there is the distinguished they're trying to do is is, is itself haram, because
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			to argue about something which Allah made haram
		
00:05:34 --> 00:06:14
			but other things and what this is yet another subject. So now Bobby's take, for example, now, the
problem with celebrating Mila Willoughby, people somebody asked this question as though aren't you
happy the resource or Asana was born Believe me, we need to ask that question to a Muslim is
insulting because as a Muslim, how can I be anything other than happy and absolutely deliriously
insanely incredibly, amazingly happy so I'm just happy, right? I'm more happy than Roswell nicer
Salem was born, then I'm happy that my mother was born and my father was born, that I myself was
born, it would have been quite a good thing. As a matter of fact, if I wasn't bothered at all, then
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:21
			I wouldn't be in this whole issue of in the handling of this life and whatnot. I wouldn't exist,
right?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:36
			Like, like Valium was an alternative. He said, The way in which Gohan Na Na Jota meta Kouta Caleta
could do that. But fact of the matter is, that
		
00:06:38 --> 00:07:25
			being happy and converting that happiness into a festival to be celebrated on a particular day, in a
particular way, with the expectation of reward from Allah subhanaw taala, there is a huge
difference. Happy, absolutely without a doubt, but converting that into a an action which is to be
done on the 12th of July well or whatever they will fix. And then you say well, you must do this,
you must cook this kind of food, you must pray this Salah animal do this and that and the other and
Allah will reward us for that makes it into an action of evil and action of worship. Now we know
perfectly well that as far as actions of worship are concerned, anything that does not Allah is
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:46
			Allah Islam did not do or tell us to do is haram haram haram in Islam. There is no action of
worship, no action, of worship, meaning any action that is done with the intention of pleasing Allah
and the expectation of reward from Allah is called an action of worship, whatever it might be.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:08:27
			Giving, serving your parents is an action of worship because we do that with the intention of Allah
subhanaw taala has pleasure of earning his pleasure and Allah will reward us Inshallah, Allah told
us to do that, for example, giving charity, action or worship, similarly, vicar of Allah subhanaw
taala. I'm sitting here doing this reminder action of worship, ask Allah to reward me and reward all
of you for listening to it. The point is that actions of worship cannot be done without the allele
without proof without evidence. There is no proven evidence, it did not happen. Nobody on the face
of the earth can prove that it happened. That also doesn't Salam celebrated his birthday, on the
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:53
			12th or abuna was already celebrated but the at all he said I fast. He said I was born on Monday and
I fast on Monday. So that was about the recipes with me. There's a vast difference between that and
having a birthday party and having a celebration on a particular day. Every Monday please go ahead
and fast. It is one of the best sources of resources also another good this is one of the one of the
one of the Sonata with Asana
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:37
			related to act or an act of worship which is fasting. A lot of our data set a song really wanna GB
the fastest for me and I will reward or handle a piece go ahead 5252 fast in the year 52, Monday's
fast every Monday because the NABI Ali salaam was too fast. And of course if somebody wants to give
this a very to say that you see he was celebrating his birthday, I would say please excuse me. Don't
fool yourself. Don't fool anybody else. He wasn't celebrating anything. He was showing his gratitude
to Allah subhanaw taala Alhamdulillah by fasting please go ahead do that. But calling a day Mila the
lobby and having a function and having a whole bunch of stuff connected with that this is not from
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:59
			Islam. This is something which is prohibited and I will not go there. Please do not do something
which then I really said I'm never did. He never told us to do he never got in none of the Sahaba
did it. None of the whole of Arashi then did it. Nobody loves the love the profit center more than I
will work out the Law No, and he did not do it.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			Nobody loved him more than say the HSE they follow the law. And he she did not do it. Nobody loved
him more than Hadiya to Cora Delana. She never did it. Nobody celebrated the birthday of Rosaura
Salah on a particular day. Firstly, because they did not know which day it was the day this whole
issue of whether it's 12, close or Bilawal is the day he passed away. But it wasn't the day he was
born. We don't know the record is not there. And there's a whole long reason why it is not there. I
won't go into that now. But the point is that to celebrate his birthday on a particular day, this is
something which if you do it becomes a bit of a something which is which being sort of getting the
		
00:10:40 --> 00:11:22
			pleasure of Allah may Allah protect us we might, we might incur the anger of Allah. It is something
we are going against what resources what also lies in Salem, daughters and introducing something
into the deen the heavy songs on Salam was absolutely clear. When he said very very clearly. In
Asteron Hadith the Kitab Allah will hide howdy howdy Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam was Sharon
memori Modasa Hakuna Matata the Buddha, Allah without and Allah Allah Allah has a lot of things
enough. He said the best speeches the speech of Allah which is the kingdom of Allah and he said that
the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad Sorcerer is there anything
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:40
			all evil is what is introduced newly into the religion, all new innovations, all new introductions
or new things that are introduced a new thing meaning that which he did not do and which he didn't
tell us to do all introduction of those new things into the den
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:50
			is that all of this is misguidance or all this misguidance is in the Hellfire there is nothing that
can be clearer than that. Right so please do not do that.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			We'll come back to the issue of
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:07
			celebrating birthdays therefore for children in the next reminder and I thought let me complete this
issue with regard to the villa gonna be issue or Salalah Anna will carry one he was able to get on
