And sisters,
we continue with the series of
Khateraz on
the authority of the Quran and Sunnah.
I want you to remember 3 words,
3 very important words.
The first word is what.
What.
The second word
is
Why?
And the third word is How?
So will Allah be
Now
the reason I say these 3 words are
so important
is because every law in the world
including the laws
that Allah gave us. The law of the
Quran.
These 3 words apply.
What is the law?
Why is this law?
And
how can I implement this
law? These 3 are
critical for every law.
It's very important to understand these 3 things
because
we get carried away
and
people
separate these things
and they say that what is important,
the other 2 don't
matter. Now that's a completely
illogical
and completely
you know, unreasonable statement. Because,
if you say what is important and
why is it important is not important,
Then why should you do it?
Because I don't understand why I should do
it.
And then how to do it? I don't
know. Nobody tells me. Then how will I
implement this thing?
To give you an example, Allah
said,
Right?
Allah ordered us to establish Salah, So why
should I establish salah? Because
for the establishment of the of Allah for
for to remember Allah. Why should I remember
Allah? Because he is my creator. He is
my sustainer. He is my maintainer. He is
my protector.
He is the 1 to whom
is my return.
So therefore I need
to worship Allah
He said
that
the ahad, the covenant, the dividing line, the
differentiator
between us, that is Muslims and them that
is people who are not Muslim
is the salah.
The 1 who leaves it has committed
has left Islam.
That is the importance of it.
I am ready.
Allah, I answer you.
How must I pray?
So what to say?
I don't know.
Allah said pray. That's it.
Okay. I will pray. But how?
Should I stand on my head?
Should I bring a drum and and beat
it and dance?
Should I sing a song?
What should I
do?
I don't
know. Does it make sense?
Does it make sense that the 1 who
is sending an order does not tell you
how to do it? Does this make sense?
As a black kid said, I'm asking you,
I'm giving an instruction.
Please do this,
but I will not tell you how to
do it. Then is it possible to do
it?
I mean, this is a dumb question. Right?
Completely stupid. If anybody ask this question, you
will say this is a stupid question. Right?
What do you mean? You're telling me to
do something, and you won't show me how
to do it.
Does it make sense?
So if it does not make sense for
anyone, even an ordinary person like you and
me, How does it make sense for Allah?
How can somebody say Allah
has sent a command,
but did not tell us how to do
it?
Right? So if you are telling me that
Allah
sent a command and also told us how
to do it in the same place,
then show me we just finished Salatul Maghrib.
Show me the method of Salatul Maghrib in
the Quran.
So I'm saying to those people who say
the hadith of Rasool
are not required.
We don't believe. We don't need the hadith.
Okay.
Of course, I completely disagree with you. If
you reject the Hadith you have left Islam.
Forget that.
Let me go with you. Okay. I agree
with you. You don't need to have this.
Right? Okay. Now is
is it necessary? Is it is it the
of Allah? Yes. It is. So we are
ready to pray. Yes. We are ready. Okay.
How to pray?
How to pray?
Similarly,
fasting. Allah,
did he order us to fast?
Yes.
How to fast?
What to do if my fast breaks?
Accidentally, if it breaks. I forgot I ate
something. Now is my fast there or not
there? Or what happened to the fast?
The valid question. No. I mean, I am
fasting. 1st few days or it happens to
a lot of people. 1st few days, we
are not used to it. 1st few days,
like, after,
1st few days, you feel guilty. Don't eat.
You don't drink water all day. You feel
very thirsty. Why about this? Today, there's no
fast way. Why don't you drink water? Because
we we got used to not drinking water.
We feel thirsty.
So similarly, fasting 1st few days, we you
know, you might eat something and so on.
So what to do?
Is it there in the world?
Allah said pay Zakat.
How much?
What is the amount?
On what is it?
So we say, those are the captains on
gold and silver and cash. Does it is
it does it say in the Koran? No.
And what does logic tell
you? Just tell me, what does logic tell
you? You have a logic and I have
a logic.
I have a ring.
Right?
The ring is made of gold.
I'm not saying my ring. The
ring made of gold.
How much gold is that in the ring?
How much gold will be in the ring
anyway?
10 gram, 15 gram, 20 gram. Right? Maybe
it's a nice fattering, so the 30 grams,
40 grams.
Oh, that's too much. Right? Okay.
But in the ring, I have a solitaire
diamond, which is worth $1, 000, 000.
So I'm paying zakat on which?
On the diamond or on the gold of
the ring?
What does logic tell
you?
Nobody applies logic for this. Yeah. I was
telling you all the people who want to
apply apply logic for this now. Pay zakat.
Since you are using your logic, you don't
care about the Quran and the sunnah. Apply
your logic and play pay zakat on that
$1, 000, 000.
They don't want to apply logic.
I want to go for Hajj. Allah
said
whoever has the means to go for it,
go for it. Okay.
Now what?
Where in the Quran does Allah mention the
Haram,
the near haram, the shurut of haram, the
conditions of haram.
What happens if any of those conditions are
violated, you have to give the
The whole long I don't want to waste
your time. The whole long list of things.
It starts from here. Go to then to
Arafat, then come back to then
come to then do the
the the the
And Allah said to who?
Allah said to the
house of Allah. Which is the house of
Allah?
The car, right? Where is it?
Where is the car?
In Makkah or Arafa?
Where is the cover? Makkah, Alafa.
And
when
the people went for Hajj with him, they
came to him. I was supposed to stop
in. I forgot.
What shall I do? He said. No problem.
He said, yeah. So I was supposed to
do this. I forgot. What shall I do?
I
this this this. Everything. He said no problem.
No.
Only 1 thing he said, if you do
not stand in Arafah on 9th of the
Hijjah,
between this boundary and this boundary, there is
no Hajj.
Right?
So now I am reading the Quran. Allah
said Hajj. So I'm saying, forget all this.
I'm going to sit in front of the
Kaaba the whole day of night.
I will sit in front of the Kaaba
looking at the Kaaba. Do I is that
Hajj for me?
No Hajj. No Hajj, brother. No Hajj.
You are supposed to be in Arafa
on the day of Hajj, not in
not in not inside the Kaaba or outside
the Kaaba. You are supposed to be Why?
Because Muhammad
said so.
He does not speak of his own volition.
He says what he has been told.
He doesn't say he doesn't say he did
not tell me to go stand in alfa
because he felt like, well, what is what
is his love for alfa?
Allah
said
this is the Hajj.
So what is the order?
Why should it be done? Which is gives
us the context of the order. The order
is not some arbitrary
stuff that comes from any somewhere nobody knows.
Islam is very
logical,
contextual.
What is the context
and how must I implement it? This is
the way.
These 3 things together,
what
in the what is the order is in
the Quran
The context, why should it be done and
how should it be done?
Some things are also in the Quran,
but the vast majority
are in the Sunnah of
salallahu alayhi wasalam,
which is why the Sunnah of the Nabi
alayhi salam is called Wahi Ghayir Matloo.
The wahi which is not recited in salah.
There is no tilawa of that wahi.
But it is wahi.
So this is the
relationship between the what, the how, and the
why.
So please let us understand this
that
anybody who wants to remove the sunnah from
Islam
will remove Islam itself.
Because if you remove the sunnah from Islam,
you cannot practice the religion. Then there is
no religion left.
There is no religion left.
Right? I can give you I don't want
to take more. I can give you any
number of examples of how
the the explanation
is in the Sunnah
of Rasool Salam.
That is the importance of the Sunnah. That
is the authority of the Sunnah. That is
the authority of the Rasul Because, please
understand,
all the things which are in the sunnah
Allah
could have put every single thing in the
Quran.
Allah is not going to the Allah did
not take his book to a publisher and
the publisher said, no, no, no, excuse me.
It has to be only 600 pages.
I cannot make it more than that. So
you, you know,
no.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The Quran could have 6, 000 pages.
There is a reason
because Allah
wants to tell us that you must learn
this Quran
at the feet of the teacher of the
Quran
who is Muhammadu Rasool Allah. It is necessary
for you to learn the Quran
from the Sahib ul Quran, from the 1
on whom the Quran was sent. It is
necessary for you to learn it from him,
not on your own.
And learn it from him means what? Means
follow the sunnah.
So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
help us to understand this, to fill our
hearts
with the Azawah, with the glory and majesty
of Allah and the love of his Rasool
and
help us to obey Rasool
because to obey him is to obey Allah.
