Mirza Yawar Baig – Living Islam – Khutbatul Wada’a #8

			Bismillah Al Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
		

			wa Salatu was Salam ala Shara Philippi, or even more saline Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam, the Steven cathedra and cathedra from Nevada we continue with our
series of reminders and lectures and classes on the Ford Motor WADA of Rasul Allah is Allah in
Salem, the last hotbar of surah. Selim in when he was
		

			at Hajj, and as I mentioned before, we don't say it is Alaska because that was the last goodbye that
he gave, but it was the last as in his farewell Cuba in hajj, and therefore, something that where he
left his, what he would have considered to be his most valuable advice for his ummah, who he loves,
or above and more than anyone and anything else.
		

			He said, point number six he said, oh people, Allah has a portion Allah has given a portion to every
deserving heir, his share of the estate, and no deserving heir may accept a special bequest. And no
special bequest may exceed a third of the estate.
		

			Charge charged lineage is that of the husband
		

			who owns the bed, meaning the father and adulterers shall be stoned.
		

			Whoever claims to be the son of someone other than his father, or a man's man who claims to be to
belong to other than his masters shall bear the curse of Allah and the angels and all men, no
deflecting of it or ransom for it, shall we accept it from him?
		

			I remind myself in you that Islam is not the name of a bunch of rituals of worship alone, to be done
at prescribed times in prescribed ways. And then we are not left to proceed with the rest of our
lives. Anyway, we like Islam is the name of a complete way of life, prescribed for all of humanity,
by the one who created all of humanity, and who created everything that exists. And to Him is our
return. Allah subhanaw taala prescribed the rules of existence and the purpose of those rules of
existence is for us to exist and live in a way that is beneficial for us in this dunya while akhira
it is essential to understand the rules of inheritance and to follow them to write a will that is
		

			against the Sharia is not only not defensible in law, but it amounts to schicke and is punishable
before Allah subhanahu wa.
		

			There is a confusion about a will and about giving to children and others while you are alive.
		

			A will is that which comes into force, only after you die. So all laws of inheritance apply to the
estate that you leave behind
		

			after you die, your inheritors become inheritors only after your death. Your death is the condition
for them to be inheritors. I'm emphasizing this so much because sometimes young people say to me,
I'm going to ask my father to give me my inheritance. So I say to them, then you have to ask him to
kindly pass away first, because your inheritance does not exist as long as he lives. And also some
people say I have two daughters and two sons. And so I'm going to give them their inheritance at the
rate of one share to the girl and to to the boy. So I say to them
		

			the same thing. Where are you planning to die?
		

			Please don't confuse inheritance with what you are allowed to do with your property while you are
alive. While you are alive. Two things to remember number one is as a general rule, you are allowed
to do whatever you want with your property. Now, being allowed meaning doesn't mean that you are
allowed to do something which is haram. Meaning you are free. Like for example, if somebody says you
are free to sin, does it mean that therefore you should sin and then that sin is not punishable? No,
it just means that Allah is not made you much more if you
		

			if you pick up a pen to sign the membership form of a of a gambling den otherwise known as a club,
you will not be struck with paralysis. If you want to drive to, you know, to the racecourse or
		

			or to some gambling place or to your favorite club to have your sundowner without with the sun you
think the sun doesn't go down unless you drink a glass of whiskey, you will not meet your and your
car will not break down you will not crash. Nothing will happen you are you are allowed has left you
free to commit sins if you wish to do that. Now that doesn't mean the sin is permissible. Similarly,
when we say that, while you are alive, you are free to dispose of your property any way you like. It
means that you're free to dispose of your property anywhere you like. However, the way you do that,
maybe
		

			rewardable And maybe punishable that's also possible because you might end up giving their property
or spending their property to do something which is not permissible then obviously that is something
which is punishable. So watch out for that. So be very clear.
		

			You are allowed to do what you want. However
		

			Rosana Zara Zara warned us to be just to exercise justice when you give you a property to your
children. So, and there's a famous Hadith where a man came
		

			father of
		

			a nomad min Bashir young sahabi, also Lazarus Allah, he came and he said, yas Allah, I have given a
gift to the son of mine. And I would like you to witness this gift. Surah Surah Al Salam said, have
you given the same gift to all your children, this a similar gift to all your children? So this man
said, No, I'm not given to all the children. As soon as I said and said, then go and find some other
witness for your deed because I will not witness injustice. Now this hadith is mentioned in several
versions, with some adding that Rasulullah saw the Salem doll a normal father, when he confirmed
that he had not given similar gifts to all his children, the Surah Surah Salam told him to take it
		

			back. And that Bashir did that he took it back in some other versions. And also Rossana Salam said,
this cannot be right, I do not witness anything, which is not right. So this is very, very clear.
		

			It is therefore on this on the basis of this hadith
		

			the scholars have,
		

			our scholars have ruled that it is, even though you are as I said, you are free meaning you are
nobody there is no restriction on you. But the law of justice is that you give
		

			equal gifts to all your children. So you don't give your daughters less than you give to your sons.
So if you're if you are intending to distribute
		

			your property, I'm differentiating between estate and property estate would be what is left behind
after you die, property is what is the same thing while with you while you are alive. So therefore,
		

			on this basis Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam on the basis of his ruling, our scholars have ruled that
when a person wants to give gifts wants to distribute property, and he has he or she has sons and
daughters, they must give equal the same.
		

			The same amount to the Son as to the daughter only when they die. Then with the estate, the
inheritance is where the son gets two shares and the daughter gets one
		

			now
		

			it's also clear from all these Hadees that these are heavy who came those Salam Al Bashir
		

			he
		

			obeyed also ally so Salam in this matter, Saudi Oba overland, who was a leading figure among the
Tsar and he was very wealthy. One day he divided all his wealth between his sons. After his death,
his wife gave birth to a son. This took place during the reign of Abu Bakr Siddiq.
		

			One morning, Amara met our workers, or Delano and he said, I spent a sleepless night on account of
this new child of sod because his father left him nothing
		

			around and said, Sorry, died. So let us go to highs mdsr and speak to him about his brother. They
went to highs who was himself as a hobby of resources. And he was a son of
		

			of Serbia, and a man of honor. And when they spoke to him, he said, As for what side has done, I
will never invalidate but I would like the two of you to witness that my share is for my young
brother. So
		

			he's saying that my father, obviously the father probably didn't know that this
		

			that his wife was pregnant.
		

			So it happened. But
		

			when we woke up on Wednesday, the number went to the son of
		

			sad face being sad being a mother. And on the alarm, he immediately accepted that and he said that I
will
		

			give a share to my young brother who has a newborn baby at that time. This is indeed, the type of
understanding that the great companions the great Sahaba of Rasulullah sallallahu had among
themselves, and how they worried for each other's akhira. Now, both are working on their lotto, and
Amara de la who spent a zip sleepless night on account of a boy who was born after his father's
death. They wanted justice not only for the boy, but also for the father, who might not have been
aware that his wife was pregnant when he divided the wealth. Maybe the division took place, even
before the pregnancy took place. That however, does not deprive the young boy of his right to be
		

			treated equally with his brothers, nor indeed will it deprive a girl of her right to such equal
treatment cases are the Alana attitude is also highly significant. He did not object to what he was
told by Walker and Omar Abdullah. And he did not argue that the division of the property took place
a long time ago and that he and his brothers were entitled to what they received. He accepted what
our worker and over the Allah Juanma told him as being absolutely correct. And as a dutiful son, he
wanted to honor his father's action. He said that he was not one to invalidate what his father had
done. But he would take it upon himself to ensure that justice to his little brother was done by
		

			giving him all his share. By doing that guy's rather law who did actually more than what was
expected of him. But then he's been sad was highly renowned for his generosity and his benevolence.
Now we'll see how the companions of rasa Salem understood this question and how they acted upon it.
The scholars of this nation have also given the same ruling hence it is not open to any Muslim to
disobey Rasul Allah Salah and to prefer some of his children over others, while giving gifts.
bequeathing refers to what you will, after your death.
		

			In this you are entitled to bequeath 1/3 of your estate 33% of your estate to whoever you wish,
apart from those who will inherit your wealth as per the Sharia. So, in the will that you write for
the 33%, you cannot include your children, your parents, your spouse, and so on and so forth.
Because these are people who will inherit from your
		

			estate after you die. So they cannot be included in that 1/3. The 1/3 is meant for those who deserve
your, your generosity like maybe poor relatives, community members, maybe some charity that you that
you used to give, you know, schools and modalities and massages and so on. someone to take care of
you, and so forth. So who are not heirs and they cannot inherit from you. Other than that, you
cannot be create your estate according to your desires. And you must follow your the Sharia if you
don't, then you will be liable for punishment before Allah Samaritan. Now another very important
thing, sometimes, and it happens both ways. Sometimes parents say, Well, you know, just one child of
		

			mine served me very well. So I'm going to give every single agenda we covered that already, you
cannot do that. Similarly, you cannot cut off
		

			a child, usually it happens with children. But whoever illegitimate heir, you cannot cut them off
from your inheritance because you didn't like them. So there wasn't this person didn't serve me this
person. This child was, you know, didn't know me. Many times it happened, this child married
somebody that I didn't like, remember, you have to like your wife, you have to like your husband,
not your child, your sons and daughters, husbands or wives that's that's their life anyway. So, all
of this, so therefore, I cut them off. If you do that, then you will be punished by law. Samantha,
please understand this, you have no right to do that the inheritance belongs to them. If they did
		

			not treat you as a parent, well, that is something that they should change. And if they don't change
that, then they are liable before Allah subhanaw taala for punishment, but that does not entitle you
to cut them off from their inheritance. So be very clear about that.
		

			And Muslims are are also very strongly encouraged to look after orphans, not by sending them to
orphanages, but by keeping them with them in their own homes and treating them as their own
children.
		

			Now orphanages are not haram. But it is very important to understand that the whole idea of taking
care of an orphan is to give him or her a home with parents. In an orphanage, the orphan is actually
subjected to
		

			even more affiliate fee, even greater feeling of alienation, because they are, it's almost like they
have been rejected and thrown away from society. Sure, they may be well looked after materially
speaking. In that orphanage, they might have enough to enough to eat and, you know, place to stay
and so on. But it is not. There's no family there. There's no taking care of that, that there's no
eating together for example, with the Father and Mother children and so on. So taking care of
orphans in your own home. This is something which the Sahaba did which is which was done in the in
the past until orphanages came into into being. There was a famous story of Avila Madera, Hunter
		

			Lally, who refused to inaugurate an orphanage because he said that this is against the Sharia. So
this said to him, why don't I How was it against the Sharia, we are encouraged to take care of
orphans, he said, Yes, take care of orphans, by giving them a home, not by putting them into an
institution like this is and this mashallah beautiful understanding of the, of the, of the
intention, and of the minutiae of the,
		

			of the order to take care of orphans. Having said that, do understand and remember that the offer is
not your son and daughter, they often will not inherit from you. So this often shouldn't be provided
from that 1/3 of your will, that I mentioned, or you must give that orphan some gift, while you are
alive. Number one, number two, is that often boy or girl, when they grow to a level of
		

			when they attained puberty, then they the rules of hijab come into force for them and for you. So if
it's a boy, then the
		

			lady of the house the mother, as well as his sister's,
		

			meaning the sister means that the children, Daughters of the family, who are above the age of
puberty, must do his job in front of him, and vice versa, if it's a daughter, if you're if you
adopt,
		

			come to the word adopt
		

			it girl, then she has to do his job before the Father. And before the brothers now, the question or
adopt in Islam, there's no adoption. So please understand this, when you're taking care of an
orphan, you're taking care of the orphan, meaning you're taking care of all the material and
emotional and spiritual needs of this child and you're raising this child like your own child, but
it's not your own child. There is no adoption in Islam, you cannot give that child your name.
		

			If you give the child your name, and the child takes your name and accepts your name, then this is
haram. Allah subhana
		

			wa sallam said this is something which is which is cursed by Allah subhanaw taala, that the child
takes a name of anyone other than his or her biological parent. In the last class, I mentioned this
very clearly. So I'm not going to repeat that. But
		

			it's very important to understand that because
		

			it is very important to understand that because otherwise, you know, you end up with the problems.
So, make sure the child is known by the name of his or her biological parent, it is you are taking
care of the child. So you are
		

			in loco parentis for the child, but you are not the parent of the child. So do not give them your
name and the child cannot act cannot take an accept your name. If they do that, then both are
cursed.
		

			Now, a very, very important thing also, which I've seen in some places, and I strongly strongly one,
those who are doing that against doing it, which is that they take orphans into their homes,
ostensibly to take care of them but in effect, those orphans are unpaid servants in the house.
		

			Please, don't put yourself into the fire. Right. The orphan is your son or daughter and must be
treated as such. The only exception and order the only difference is that the son or daughter, the
other one who you have taken into your house to take care of does not take your name and will not
inherit from you. That's it otherwise, in every other respect, that child is like your child, he
will he or she will be with you will eat what you eat will you will clothed them the way you clothe
your your own children and yourself and they will participate in your life like your own child that
child must not feel
		

			as if they are an alien in your home. This is very, very important. Allah subhanaw taala said
		

			yeah you are living in harmony with the philosophy silvercar Fatone wallet wo Dotty shaitan. In hola
Komodo movie in Allah said oh you believe enter completely into Islam and do not follow the
footsteps of Shatta Wale really he is to you a plain enemy. Islam is a practice. Islam is not a
theory and like all practices it works only when it is practiced. Just believing is not enough to
realize its benefits. The greatest example of practice are Rasul Allah
		

			and His Sahaba his companions with one Allah He Elohim will remain. If anyone could have benefited
from Islam without practice, it would have been them because they were the first people who received
Islam, but they are
		

			the best examples of practice. I remind myself in you that in the end, we will not be asked, What
happened because Allah subhanaw taala knows what happened. We will be asked, What did you do? Now
believe is critical. Now in terms of Akita, we must believe in the right thing. But once you
believe, then you must act on that belief. The fundamental belief is that there is nobody worthy of
worship except Allah. But if you say that you believe
		

			you believe that but when the time comes to worship Allah subhanaw taala you don't worship you do
not pray, then you have contradicted your belief by your action. And that is why the Sahaba were
agreed upon with the finale.
		

			That to deliberately leave Salah is to leave Islam.
		

			As soon as the result hadith is very it's very, very clear. He said Salallahu Alaihe Salam and I had
already been an albino Houma, Salah foreman,
		

			out of the heart for cod, Guevara Kumbhakarna, Elisa to salaam, he said, The dividing line the
differentiator, the
		

			the delineate, delineate,
		

			the covenant between us and them, meaning between the Muslims and non Muslims, is the Salah, the one
who lives it has committed, Cofer has left Islam. So it is it is very, very important for us to
understand that that's the reason why all of the Imams of of faith are agreed upon this that a
person who
		

			leaves Salah who does not pray has left Islam they have the only difference in rulings is in terms
of the punishment prescribed for that but nobody said that it is acceptable to leave Salah even one
Salah even one single Salah we must understand this because today Muslims take it for granted that
okay I will pray
		

			or I will not pray doesn't matter. We will know whether it matters or not when you die, please
understand that don't don't leave it to that day. Action is at the bottom action is the fundamental
thing in Islam. Action speaks louder than words.
		

			People don't care what they say until they see what what we do. And Tao is what people see and
experience from us, not what we tell them. So, act act act. It's very, very important member of the
system that we remind ourselves and each other about this and that we do not live in this world
		

			they live alone, where we do not act
		

			was very important for us to understand and keep on reminding ourselves that is why I rationalized
and said this he said though the most intelligent of you is the one who remembers his death most
often. Now, the meaning of this is not that you know we are not inviting towards being morbid
remembering the death means remembering the time remembering that one day we will stand before Allah
subhanaw taala and we will be called upon to answer for what we did what we chose not to do this is
something which is
		

			which is a total which which cannot be set aside
		

			your childhood Okay, Darlene ages which cannot be set aside which is
		

			something which will happen to every single one of us as I speak to now today. This is the 17th of
September and we are still going through the saga of the saga of the death of Queen Elizabeth. The
poor thing she hasn't stood out to me buried she's so called lying in state
		

			you know, I mean magic. This is the this is what the world does.
		

			Everything is converted and turn to a commercial spectacle, which makes money for those who run this
game.
		

			May Allah protect us, Islam gives us so much dignity, that immediately as soon as you die you are in
your buried and the matter is over, we will be not kept there. And
		

			whether you are a king or not doesn't matter, because that is the reality that debt is the universal
equalizer. Everyone dies, those who had within ports, everything in this world, they die and those
who had within ports, nothing in this world die. And I'm saying within quotes, because the so called
everything in the world is really not something which you have the famous
		

			Hadees, Alzheimer's and Salaberry said that
		

			what you eat, and what you wear, and what you send the head of you. These are the only three
possessions of a human being. And what you wear doesn't mean the entire wardrobe. It means what is
on your body.
		

			It's it this is what you are this is what what you wear is what you own, and what you eat food that
God inside. It's not your fridge and you know, one or multiple freezers in the house, which are
		

			which are stocked with enough food to feed your feed to feed you and your family for several months.
Probably. Not that what you eat. What is there's a beautiful hat is where and obviously.
		

			One day he and I will go sit here for the long haul and one of them Katara did they went to the
house of abou Are you well I'm sorry, the alarm is beautiful. He's I'm contracting it. It was a very
hot day. And they went there and he gave them he slaughtered a
		

			goat and the roasted the meat and his wife made bread and he brought some dates from his garden and
and very cool water from his well. It was a very hot day as I mentioned the sewers and Salem and his
companions. They
		

			they ate that food and they drank that water. And as a result I've also sent
		

			some of that food for his daughter,
		

			say the father of the Zara or galana And then he said to the Sahaba he said over Coronavirus,
Delano. He said Allah subhanaw taala will question you for this. You said Dr. Salah we were so
hungry and thirsty and you know we ate this and Allah will question us for this. Yeah. He said yes.
He said it is not your right. You start your birthright that you should be given this. People,
people or people
		

			stop for days to get. He said this is what Allah will question you. He said the way to escape that
questioning is to be grateful to Allah smarter to be thankful to Allah.
		

			It's very important for us to be thankful to remind ourselves over and over again to be thankful and
more thankful and more thankful. Because
		

			when we are thankful then Insha Allah we ask Allah subhanaw taala to save us from the questioning,
otherwise we will be questioned.
		

			So don't take it for granted. That you know it is your it's your birthright. It's not.
		

			So we must be very clear in our minds that we
		

			are always always always grateful to Allah subhanaw taala
		

			and the way to
		

			the best way virus way to
		

			express that gratitude is Salah, number one, first and foremost salah, because without Salah it is
something that you know, we cannot
		

			we cannot say that I'm thankful to Allah subhanaw taala when I'm not doing the very basic obedience
of Allah subhanaw taala which Allah decreed on me, which is to worship. Please understand Salah is
not optional, it is not something which is, you know, I do it when I feel like doing it. No, this is
the very purpose of our creation. It's the very purpose of migration and nucleation This is why we
were created to worship Allah subhanaw taala and this is the greatest honor this is the greatest
reward. This is the greatest gift that Allah subhanaw taala gave us and that gift was given to us
thanks to the fact that we are in the Omata Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and because Allah subhanaw
		

			taala the Salah is to it's our resource, and I say the I will have the nominal Stein with somebody
was Salah, we will believe take the help of summer, which is the greatest and most effort that we
can make and Salah. So this Allah was given to us as a gift because we need this Allah and it was
given to us through Rasul Allah is our salah, and it is the only order of Allah subhanaw taala which
was communicated
		

			in above the seven heavens
		

			In all the other orders of Allah subhanaw taala were sent down to the earth. Salah is the only thing
which is commanded up there. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to enable us to remain steadfast and to
always always, always honor Salah to be great to be grateful for Salah to worship Allah subhanaw
taala in the best possible way, which is through the Sunnah of Muhammad Sallallahu
		

			wasallam Allah Allah will carry while it he was I remember how to karma Rahu Salama,
