Allah said which means
oh you who believe
obey Allah
and obey his and obey
those who have authority among you.
And if you disagree over something
refer back
to Allah
and the Rasul if
you truly believe in Allah and the last
day
that is better and more suitable
for you, for your
determination,
for your safety, for everything.
No.
There is a
caveat to this
which is
what do you do if
the ruler orders you to do something which
is harm?
Because Allah says
obey.
And in another hadith
he said obey the ruler even if he
is ahamak even if he has no brains
He said obey the ruler even if he
is not
pious.
As long as
Abhishek said 2 conditions. 1 does he pray?
He can be praying and doing other things.
He didn't say anything. He said does he
pray? Number 1. Number 2
he said as long as he does not
stop you from prayer.
That's it.
Now
we have the Hadith of
He
said
that Rasool
said there is no obedience
to the creature in the disobedience of the
creator.
There is no obedience to
any person
in the disobedience
of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
We also have the story from the Sirah
where
in one
area
this army had gone out
and
coming back
They were sitting around a campfire with a
big fire.
And there was some argument
and the commander got angry and he told
the people jump into the fire.
I'm commanding you as your ruler, jump into
the fire. You have to obey me.
They refused.
They said we will not do this.
So when they came back to Madina, they
reported and
said,
what you did was right.
There is no obedience
in something which is prohibited.
So jumping into the fire which is haram,
which is suicide, no,
but what about
going against something the ruler is saying or
ruler does not necessarily mean the king. Please
understand this, ruler is
Allah
did not say malik.
He did not say Khalifa.
So is
for example, in a family, the father is.
That is how
for the
we say who is the?
Who is the?
He's not the king but he is the
head of the family.
So is somebody who
has been given authority by the people. So
might be
an Alim, might be
a leader, a community
leader, somebody who has authority in some other
way. This is all.
So in Islam it is permitted
to correct
the old amr if they are wrong. Please
understand this is very important. We get confused.
Sometimes people say, no, you cannot say anything.
No. Not that's not correct.
You can say but there are
Now Ashafar Hauthul Ali said, if you want
to correct the old hammer, you want to
correct the leader,
do it in private.
Take him aside,
speak to him 1 on 1. If you
criticize him in public
then you have been unjust and Allah will
punish you.
Right? Now they asked him and said why?
What is the big thing? Right? If his
man is doing something wrong, why why can't
I tell him something in public?
He said because the the
the problem of that, the the evil of
that is far more than whatever he's doing.
Because by doing that, you are undermining his
authority and whatever good he can do will
be nullified because people will not obey him
anymore because they can't they can't respect him
anymore.
Number number 2, you might then actually by
doing that, you might then
instigate him or, you know, anger him to
doing something which is worse. So don't do
that. It is like it is like putting
somebody under pressure
where they have to tell a lie to
get out of it.
This is worse than lying
because you put that person to so much
pressure that he has to tell a lie.
Otherwise, he gets into trouble. So he will
tell a lie. Now that lie is better.
You are worse because you put the person
under this pressure. So don't do that.
But can you correct? Of course, you should
correct. Take them aside. Speak to them.
Now from the, let me give you
2 very clear examples.
First thing to understand is
there is no problem
with obeying people when they are telling you
what you want to hear.
For example, simple thing. For example, if somebody
says,
please come and pray in the masjid by
Jannah.
Nobody will have a problem with even the
one who's not coming to pray, he will
not fight against that because you know this
is Allah
The imam, whoever is saying, come to the
masjid. He must pray 5 times a day,
so on so. No problem.
Problem comes when the person, the the the,
whether it is the imam, whether it is
the Khalifa, whether it's the Malik, whether it's
the leader is saying something which you don't
like.
Right? If you are doing some business, for
example, he said, no, don't do this business.
This is haram. They don't like that.
If you say you're dealing in interest, he
said don't deal in interest. Again, this is
the okay. Allah He he did not invent
his rule. He's telling you the ayat of
the Quran. This is what Allah is saying.
Don't do this. Don't take money on interest.
You get angry.
The problem comes when people are doing something
which you don't like.
Now in the,
the biggest example of this was
is
a whole,
you know, it's a history by itself.
That one thing. There is so many lessons
to learn in the.
Here was a situation where Rasulullah,
without consultation. Please understand this.
Did not make with anybody.
He did not make
with anyone.
He was unilaterally taking decisions,
and he took a decision to
sign
this pledge and he agreed with all of
the stuff which came
from the Quraysh
later on
and some of the
clauses were humiliating. We know this whole thing.
I don't want to go into the, you
know, detail of it, but we know this.
One-sided,
if they if one of our people
goes to you, you don't have to return.
If one of your people come, you have
to return
and so on.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala see the test
that Allah put them in.
Sohail bin Amr's son
who did not know this whole thing was
going on, he was imprisoned by his father
in chains.
He managed to escape
and he came
right at this time when the had been
agreed upon and they had not written it
down.
Said, he is mine.
Give him back to me.
That man said, yeah, I'm a Muslim.
I am a Muslim. You are going to
hand me over to the governor?
Imagine see see the kind of test.
Here is a principle. You are with your
brother, stand with your brother, protect your brother,
handing over your brother to the enemy is
Kufur.
All of this training is there, but right
there in front,
the man comes
says to him.
Tried. He tried. He he told,
we have not written it down yet. He
said, what is writing all do with
it? Writing and we agreed
The word.
Enough. Writing is only to record. The writing
has no value. The the word of the
Muslim. This is the
so said to him, go back. Go with
your father. Someone said, you are giving giving
me over to these people. They will torture
me. They will kill me. They will do.
Said, have. Go with these people.
Now this test was so severe
that came near to this man,
and he told him my sword is loose.
Take my sword, kill your father,
and free yourself.
He said, no. I will not do it.
He said, I will not do it. Then
said,
Are you not the Rasul of
He said, are you not on the right,
and are they not wrong? Rasulullah said yes.
We are right, and they are wrong.
Then why are you agreeing to this?
Said, I am doing what my has told
me to do.
Was not satisfied.
He went to
say He asked him, is he not the
Rasul of Allah?
Of
Allah? Said, yes. He's the.
Are we not right and these people are
wrong? He said, yes. We are right. We
are wrong. Then why is he agreeing to
this?
Said to him, stop talking.
Don't say anything more.
Keep quiet.
He said, hold the stirrup. You know, the
stirrup when you when you ride your horse,
you put your foot on the He said,
hold the stirrup of Rasool Allah his will
not let him down.
He's doing what his has told him to
do.
His will not let him down. Follow him.
When all of this was over,
many years later he said, since that day,
he said, I have fasted.
I have given charity
over and over, and I have fasted. I
have begged Allah to forgive me for asking
this question to Rasulullah.
One day, sir Nawar was
walking somewhere. He
overheard some people sitting and and talking and
these people said, you know, the time of
Omar Ibn Khattab is the best time, much
better than the time of Abu Bakr as
Siddiq.
So then our past, it turned out, came
back. He said, what did you say?
He said, yeah, we're moving. We are only
praising you. We're saying we are so happy.
He said, no. No. No. What did you
say?
He said, we said this.
He said, Allah is my witness. Umrah and
his entire family.
Whole family.
All the good they did is not equal
to one day and one night of.
Not equal to one day and one night.
They asked him which day and which night?
He said the night of
and
the day of. Why?
Respect. Because of respect. Because of obedience.
Understand
what was happening. He also did not nobody
understood.
This was between Allah and his also,
but they obeyed.
And eventually,
once all of this was over, when Abhisar
said slaughter the animals, shave your head, and
all that, They all did it. They did
it. They were weeping and they were crying
and they were unhappy but they did it.
They did not open their mouth
and wallahi, this was in my
I've read 2 books of the seerah. In
my study of the seerah, I call this
the final exam of the sahabah.
Final exam of the sahabah. Because after this
exam, they did not get any anymore exam.
Allah
then gave the Makkah.
They they were not allowed to go to
make. Allah said is your state.
In 2 years,
the was for 10 years, but in 2
years, Allah gave the mark
because of obedience.
Obedient,
obeying 1 something they did not understand. They
obeyed because Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
it. They didn't understand that. They did not
know why he's doing it. They did not
like it, but they said no. The Nabi
has said, we will do.
May Allah have mercy on us. Today, we
cannot accept one hadith concerning the sighting of
the moon for God's sake.
How can we have, how can this ummah
prosper? How can we succeed in life if
this is our attitude? One hadith regarding
the sighting of the moon, we cannot accept.
Doesn't make sense to me?
Fighting and arguing.
Please, let us have mercy on ourselves.
There is a barakah in the word of
the Nabi alaihi salaam.
Simple as that. I am not saying calculations
are incorrect or wrong. What? That is not
the point. The point is there is a
word. There is a there is
a value in the word of the
If you're if you don't believe that, I
have nothing more to say to you. I
have nothing more to say to you.
I believe the Rasool. I believe his word.
And when somebody tells me this is the
Sahih Hadith of
I will not go against that. If you
slaughter me instead of the ship, I will
get slaughtered. No problem.
But I will not go against
the Sahihadees of Rasulullah for
anything on the face of this earth.
Seriously, think about that. Right? And my point
is okay. You have some other Dalil, most
welcome. Please follow the Dalil. No problem. But
don't fight with your brothers.
Don't fight with your brothers. We are Muslim.
Keep the hearts together. Whatever you think, you
have the value for that, please. No problem.
Go do it. But don't fight with people.
Don't fight with Muslims. Don't create, you know,
disturbance and and and shouting in the masjid.
How bad is that?
We ask Allah
to keep our hearts together to feed to
keep our hearts full of love for Allah
and his soul and for the Muslim.
