Mirza Yawar Baig – Save me from myself

Muhammad Rasulullah Ali was Abu Salam, the man who are brothers

and sisters.

I was speaking to a friend of mine, who Muslim friend of mine

who mentioned the

English and said that, after all, he was also an angel and

had disobeyed.

Now, two points to this, khadirat.

One is to debunk

the these theories.

And the reason I need to do that is because I see more and more

Muslims, may Allah have mercy on us. We don't study our deen. We

don't study the deen in a systematic manner from the people

from whom we should be studying it,

which is our, one of our, our scholars who have been trained in

our traditional, Scholastic tradition.

Today, the word scholar is one of the most bandied about words that

exists.

Everyone and his wife is a scholar. We have

to try and understand what is the meaning of a Islamic scholar,

right? And I would say that the number one requirement of an

Islamic scholar is that the practice of Islam must be seen in

his or her life,

in their appearance, in their

in their manners,

in all that they say or do, in their Mohammed, in their dealing

with people, in their mashara, in their environment and

surroundings. Now this is a it's a very important element of deciding

who is a Muslim scholar. Now you might say, Well, why do I need to

do that? I'm not sitting in judgment or anybody. Or I

absolutely, completely agree with you. We are not sitting in

judgment or anybody. We should not sit in judgment anybody. The

reason we need to decide it is for the same reason that you need to

decide, how do I find the best physician, the best doctor for

whatever it is that is ailing me. I have a problem, I have a

disease, I have a illness, I have a pain,

and I need to find a doctor who can help me and guide me and

provide for me a solution, a cure for my pain.

What do you do? You assess the people out there

in the world, in the marketplace, who claim to be doctors, and you

say, first first cut, Is this person a doctor at all? Is this

person a medical doctor? I'm not talking about Doctor philosophy,

medical doctor at all. And second thing is, is then that person the

kind of medical doctor that I need if I have a ophthalmological

problem, if I have a problem in my eye, I don't want to go to a

gynecologist. I don't want to go to a orthopedist, right?

Orthopedician? I need an ophthalmologist. I need a person

who knows about eyes, who's the who specializes in the ailments of

the eyes. So that's exactly the way in which you would, you would

and should look for a sheik. Somebody who teach you

a sheik is not the person with the

with the biggest turban. Sheik is not the person with biggest

following on Instagram. The Sheik is not a person with the biggest,

you know, noise on the internet. Sheik first and foremost

requirement of a sheik is to walk and talk like a Muslim. Very, very

important.

Does the person follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah, Sallam in all their

lives, in their entire life, in their actions, in their speech, in

their you know the SEC, the different branches of Islam, which

is a mahashrara, which is what we see the manners of a person, which

includes, of course, their personal appearance.

Second one is marmalade. They're dealing with people. And then

mahashara, which is their environment, in this case, or

culture, it would mean how that person is at home, and so on, so

forth, whatever of their culture we have access to, and we know so

it is very important

for us to first assess.

That. So if, for if, for example, the basic fundamental things of

the Sunnah, which is for the women, it is hijab, and it is

dressing appropriately. For the man, it is dressing appropriately,

plus a beard.

These are things which, which are the, literally, the first cut.

These are the things which will

help you to decide whether this person

is a suitable

person or not. Is this person a doctor? And then you go to the

issue of what exactly do I need from this person now

that is also a educated, educated question that needs to be

answered, because I may not know what is wrong with me. So I first

need to find out what is wrong with me, and then I need to then

go and, you know, search for that, for a cure for that.

In the case of spiritual illnesses, this is very difficult

to do, because the one of the

one of the difference between physical illnesses and spiritual

illnesses, physical illness does not hide itself. The physical

illness is visible. There will be a pain, there will be some

abnormality in your novel functioning of the body. It's not

hiding anywhere. The physical illnesses which hide themselves

are the most lethal. For example, pancreatic cancer, you almost

never discover that you have it until the last stage, when it's

incurable. By then it's, you know, way beyond so it's a good it's a

good example to remind ourselves. But spiritual illnesses, every

single one of them is in the nature of a pancreatic cancer.

It's, it's, it is hidden. It hides itself. And that is why they are

so it's so important to identify them.

So this whole issue of my conversation with my friend about

the so called foreign angels. So first thing, as I said, is very

important for us to learn Islam and learn Islam from the right

sources,

not from people who are pretending to be scholars and giving their

own unsubstantiated, unsupported opinions about various matters,

all under the big umbrella of saying, Oh, but you see, we are

living in modern times. There is nothing more modern than Islam.

Please understand this. There is nothing more modern than Islam for

a very simple reason, which is that Islam is the religion. Islam

is the is the way of life that was prescribed by the one who created

the zavar and Lakhan, who created that, who created time and space

and time and place. So for Allah subhanaw taala, there is no

ancient and there is no border and there is no future. For Allah

subhanho Tala, all of the all of them are the same. So if Allah

creates something and says, this works. It works for all time, all

of these Zaman and makan

boundaries are for us. They're not for Allah. So there's nothing more

modern about Islam. So if somebody comes and says, you know, there's

some titles of things, reinterpretation,

of seeing the Quran in a modern light.

Islam for the times. These are all for me. These are big warning

signals. Big warning signals. I wouldn't even open a book which

has a title like that, because I don't want to waste my time. I Why

should I know what this you know, wonderful creature has decided to

say, because, Alhamdulillah, we have the authentic

the authentic words, and nothing more authentic than the Kitab of

Allah, the Quran itself, and nothing more authentic than the

Sunnah of Rasulullah, the Hadith Sharifa, and nothing more

authentic than their interpretation by the greats, by

the scholars whose memories ALLAH SubhanA has kept alive to this

day. You know? I mean, either the list is very long, so I don't want

to even begin with that list, but all of them,

so

pick the right person, this scholar. Now, the reason I'm

saying this importance of studying

systematically under qualified scholars is because the

alternative is to get hugely confused, like this whole issue of

angels, foreign angels, Allah subhanaw Tara mentioned very

clearly that shaitan was evil, is was and is a chin, right? Allah

said in Surah Kahf, which we are supposed to read every Friday,

Allah said, baud will have an koala. Malaikatis, judo, Li Ada,

FASA, Jadu, Illa, I believe.

Is can aminal, JIT,

fava, saka and Amrita be avatar, Avatar,

the kezuna who was home, lakum, Adu bisa this Wally me in abadalah

Allah said, and mentioned, when we said to the angels, prostrate, to

Adam, and they prostrated, except for Iblis. He was of the jinn,

Kahan, Avina Ji and others said he was from the jinn, and he departed

from the disobeyed, from the command of Israel. Then will you

take him and his descendants as allies, other than me, while they

are enemies to You wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange,

I want to remind myself, when you that the struggle between good and

evil, like people that people talk about, this is for us

in this life only. There is no struggle between Allah and

shaytan. Let's understand this very clearly. There is no struggle

between good and evil, as in God and and the Devil and Satan. These

are all Christian confusions.

The struggle between good and evil is within ourselves.

There's no struggle between Allah and shaytan. Allah, who is the

creator, and shaitan is a creature. No creature can fight

against his creator. The fight is with ourselves, between our desire

to disobey and our intrinsic nature to obey. Let's understand

this. It is a nature, the fitrah, of the human being, to obey Allah,

subhanaw Tara. When we disobey Allah, we are going against our

own fitra. We are going against our own nature. That is why we

say, when people convert to Islam, we say, we use this word revert.

This is a revert? Because Islam is Islam, meaning submission is the

original state.

So when a person is they're not converting from one to the other,

there is going back to their original state, which is they are

reverting to Islam,

Allah, subhana wa Tara.

In this fight is, therefore it is between our own desire to disobey

and our intrinsic nature to obey. That's the reason Allah subhana wa

Taala is in his inferent Mercy gave us the opportunity to repent

and to return to Him. Now think about this. We talk about, we say,

shaitan deceived me, right? Shaitan led me astray, and so on.

Think about who deceived shaitan, who led shaitan astray, his own

nafs.

The one who deceived shaitan was his own nafs. Was his own desire.

And in that nafs of his what is it that he that deceived it? What was

the cover?

And that was arrogance,

he said. And ahairu, minhu, I am better than him. How can you, how

can you order me to to make sajda to Adam. Adam is less than me. I

am better than him. On what basis, on a racial basis, because he's

talking about, I am jinn. He is human. I am made from fire. Khala

vinar, wakhanat au maintain, are you made me from fire? You created

him from clay? Right? So he's saying specifically. He's not

saying he I know more than him, not knowledge, not you know any

other thing, basic creation. He's saying, I'm better than him,

because I'm created superior.

Think about what racial racial superiority is today.

Why does one race say that they are superior to another race? And

believe it is not only about white and black. I have seen black on

black, racial, racial racism. I have seen

how this is the subcontinent people, India, Pakistan,

Bangladesh, probably we are the most racist in the world, because

we look down on everybody except for the whites. We look up to the

whites by everyone else we look down about this is racism is a

human condition. It's a it's a evil, it's a cancer which afflicts

everyone in this country. You see white racism, and we say it is

nasty, but believe me, any racism industry, not only white racism.

So the this is what shaitan did, the first sin that he was was

committed, was a sin based on arrogance and the sin of being a

racist. And this was a deception of the nafs of shaytan, the one

who deceived shaitan was his own. Nafs was his own. Desire was his

own.

That's what deserve. Allah called the obedience to our desires,

the tyranny of feelings. I feel this, therefore I can do it. Allah

called it shirk Arata, manita ILAHA. Allah said, Have you not

seen them who have taken as their deity, as their gods, their own

desires. And that's what shaytaan did. He took as his God, instead

of Allah,

He took his own desire, his own arrogance, as his God, and He

obeyed his arrogance and he disobeyed Allah. Said Sab.

It, he said, No, I am superior. I will not submit.

And that is the reason Allah gave us. In his infinite mercy, he kept

the door of repentance. The door of stephana opened till our last

breath. Once we see the Angel of Death, barakamots, it shuts. That

is why it is so important to REPENT and STOP DOING any sins as

soon as we become aware that they are sins, because we don't know

when that moment will come. May Allah guide us always to be

obedient to Him. Shaitan is the best example of what happens when

you do something wrong and refuse to repent, and that's why I always

make this those of you who listen to me what you must have heard

this many times I say, Allah, Save me from myself. Allah, Save me

from myself. And that's why I mean, save me from my own nafs.

And this is something that we should really ask, Allah,

protection from our own nafs.

Wa SallAllahu, alaihi, Kari Wala. He was Sabir membra.
