			But mashallah a good Muslim community people living here, I would like to thank the organizers who

			our efforts, Saturday night, Saturday evening, all the brothers and sisters for taking out your
precious time
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			to talk about a very important subject.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:30
			I've talked about this issue many times before and many of you probably have heard of talks related
to this particular topic. When we talk about unity a lot of people a lot not a lot of people a lot
of people actually come to talk and discuss and want to know about it. Some people are slightly
somewhat hesitant we live in a time where people don't even want to talk about unity. It's like
Unity no we don't want unity. That's the sad state of affairs.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:03:14
			There's been so many programs and places different arrangements and events where you know people
have been invited to come and participate and people from different backgrounds everybody thinks
there's an agenda and someone says okay my you know my car broke down and I couldn't make it and I'm
just traveling to Pakistan or this you know it's just a tone sad that we don't even want unity at
all that there are some Muslims that any talk of unity is like haram it's like no How can you even
talk about unity? Its unity is like no no no this is it's all a game it's all you know don't you
know anyone calls you to his unity this is all Cofer and haram and deviation and better and this is
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			all evilness etc.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:47
			So this is very sad. extremely sad. I mean, if we look, really study ourselves, forget listening to
people sometimes I mean, we should listen to scholars and Imams, and people have knowledge that
Islam the Quran says verse Allah Allah Victorian contemnor Tara moon, people who are experts of
course listen to them but sometimes when we're thinking we're getting too many mixed messages and
mixed signals read yourselves you know, in Islam, there is also a scope for Muslims to read
themselves it's not that we just don't read at all
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:29
			this is sometimes we find that sometimes we think that okay, no, no, no only we listen. And whatever
we get told we believe that Islam Allah has given everybody our cousin intelligence and and
rationalism and brains and reasoning. Yes, the complicated issues of Islam. We need the experts to
guide us but there is so much ample text of the Quran and Sunnah that we can understand and that's
why the Quran says we'll look at your son Al Quran or the vicar of Muhammad Medaka the normal
general advice and see her and guidance of the Quran. It's easy for anyone to take heat from. So
there is so much emphasis if we look at our deen and Islam you will be amazed in terms of how much
		
00:04:29 --> 00:05:00
			literature how much information how many texts of the Quran and Sunnah. Talk about similar to Rahim
maintaining ties, talk about love, talk about mutual love, harmony, peace, tranquility, unity, the
maintaining of ties and how grave how grave the sin is of breaking ties but theater him and cutting
off ties and causing enmity and disunity and friction
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:35
			and conflict, what I want to do is I want to talk about this in a general sense first, just some of
these texts, which we can all read about. And then I want to divide it into three different
categories. Okay, three, we don't have too much time, but I want to talk about three different
areas. The first area will be within family life, unity within family life, because it starts at
home. Sometimes we talk about unity that all the messages are disagreeing, but the husband wife or
just united, the whole family is just united. It doesn't it won't work, we won't be united if we if
the family can't reunited, it starts at home unity Charity begins at home. So unity within the
		
00:05:35 --> 00:06:11
			family within the relatives, and then we move on to unity with the wider community and the
unlawfulness of tribalism, and sectarian ism based on caste and ethnicity. So that will be my
secondary family and then ethnicity. And lastly, I will talk about religious unity. So these are
three areas that we all need to look at. One of the central obligations of Islam, one of the central
teachings of Islam is mutual love. There's a hadith in the Muslims of Imam Muhammad, which is a very
famous collection of Hadith, where the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:17
			a minimum LePhone wala Hydra FIM Allah Allah, Allah Allah
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:57
			I started with a hadith you can start with the Quran in Gaya and the verse which the brother recited
but I will just mention this hadith because it's a such an amazing unique Hadith all the Hadith of
the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are amazing, are unique are very important. But this one
actually paints the picture describes a believer who is a Muslim, there are few Hadith that describe
a believer. You know, sometimes we ask who is a Muslim? We all have our understanding of who a
Muslim is some people that are Muslim is someone who looks like in a certain way, or who deals in
certain way or does something or speaks a certain language who eats booty biryani or, you know, we
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:31
			have this our own misconceptions, misconceptions and understandings of what a Muslim should look
like. What is the definition of a believer he speaks to do their Muslim know, according to the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what is the definition of a Muslim? There's a few Hadith that
give us a definition. And many of them relate to our topic. One of them before this main Hadith that
I want to start this talk with another one which may come later on famous Hadith in Sahih Muslim and
also maybe say he'll Bihari but it's a famous, absolutely authentic hadith, where the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Allah, Muslim woman Salim al Muslim, Mona Melissa, Neha de a
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			believer, a Muslim. What's the definition of a Muslim who is a Muslim?
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:17
			surah Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam says to us, a Muslim is one from whose hands and from whose mouth
from tongue, from whose tongue and from whose hands, other believers are safe. And when we look at
this hadith, other believers is not restricted to just two believers. If you look at a commentary of
this hadith, the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was talking amongst the companions in Islamic
environment in an Islamic society within the small circle of the medina of Muslims of Sahaba. So he
was talking, right but this hadith has a general application, not just Muslims, non Muslims are not
just non Muslims, any creation of Allah, any creation of Allah that's why the Hadith the other
		
00:08:17 --> 00:09:01
			Hadith and Sunnah Bido, Rafi Munia Hama Hama terracotta Allah here aha moment Phil aren't have mercy
on those on the Earth man fill out anything to the point that this is not restricted to humans and
animals, even objects and plants we have to have mercy you know, just to kick you know something if
I just click this for no reason it's actually sinful for no reason. This also has a type of
hierarchy and life scholars have discussed this in detail a jump higher in sun and then how you earn
and then Gemma dot Nevada, Nevada means things that grow unless there's a need. Animals have been
created for us. It is not halal, or it's not permissible to just, you know, shoot and kill animals
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:38
			for no purpose. No reason it's actually sinful for someone to just do shooting practice with
animals. There's books on this topic, unless there's a need You need to eat the animal Allah has
allowed slaughter, we're halacha lokomo locomotor cattle and animal have been created for the human
benefit. But there needs to be a motive or a benefit. You want to benefit from its skin from its
flesh from its meat fine. But other than that, just for the fun for the sake of it for fun to to
harm an animal is actually haram. You look at the seal of the messenger sallallahu alayhi salam
about how he treated animals and even trees and things that grow we have responsibility to have
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:59
			mercy on even those, you know, growth, agricultural things that grow and even inanimate objects,
walls, you know, just to kick a wall for no reason is contrary to the teachings of Islam. So that
hadith says your era hammelmann Phil or your Henkelman visa if you want the Rama the mercy,
compassion of Allah subhanaw taala have no
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			See on everything in this in this world, animals humans. So
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:27
			the Hadith I was talking about a Muslim woman Saudi valueless Muslim woman and Melissa and he were
to he who is a believer according to the definition of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a
Muslim is one from whose hands and from his tongue. Other believers, I said, this is not restricted
to believers. It's other believers, disbelievers. Everyone, anything.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:11:16
			They are safe and not harmed from one's tongue and one's hands. This doesn't mean you can kick
someone but you can't punch them no, because normally people harm with their tongue. And hands is
like physical so verbally, physically. And we can also add to this, that a believer is someone who
lives her life. A Muslim is someone who lives her life in such a way that no man, woman, human,
animal, Muslim, non Muslim, human animal, or any creation of Allah is harmed from that person,
whether verbally, whether physically, number two, whether right in writing, because people harm a
lot by writing nowadays, you know, people people write more than they talk, you know, all the social
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:53
			media, Facebook, Twitter, whatever, whatever. Everyone just because behind the screen, nobody if you
said something to someone's face, they'll just give you a punch but behind the screen people's right
a lot of haram things. So and then they have a different identity as well. You know, every sometimes
ad is sitting behind a computer and the login name is Fatima Fatima is Abdullah and Zainab is, you
know, someone else so verbally, physically in writing and gesturing, even by gesture, to harm
someone by gesturing, like you know, you say, Oh, this guy talks too much, or you know, something
like that, or emotionally there's five ways to avoid any harm to any creation of Allah, verbally,
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:34
			physically, in writing in by gesture, ishara or psychologically emotional emotional abuse,
blackmail, whether your parents whether your teachers, whether you're a husband, whether you're a
wife, it is absolutely haram, this is the definition of a believer. So this, I was saying the
definition of a Muslim the Hadith I started my talk with that I need to move fast. The one in
Muslims of Imam Muhammad, the Messenger SallAllahu Ellisdon described the believer who is a Muslim
who is a believer, he said a movement here is another moment in the hadith of Sahih Muslim was Al
Muslim. Here he says, movement, meno LePhone what a higher of human lie Allahu Allah you love. A
		
00:12:34 --> 00:13:13
			movement is who love it's just an amazing Hadith. A movement is an abode of love, the translation of
love. We have a word in Arabic called OLFA. OLFA means mutual love and harmony. Someone who has this
love and harmony in them is called earlier, the messenger sallallahu alayhi salam could have said a
believer is an early early phone, the one who loves others. He never said that. He said my love in
Arabic and Mala means it's like some love it's like location of it's a place of love. Where if you
ask someone who is men
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:35
			the answer based on this hadith is a man is a utensil it's a like a place or a fountain from where
love pours out. That's the definition of based on this hadith, meno Allah food with everybody Muslim
non Muslim I mean if you're saying non Muslim, what about different Muslims from different
backgrounds?
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:11
			You know, sometimes we have this problem we think okay, we can we should be nice to even non
Muslims. But in the masjid, just because somebody came from a different background or somebody is
offering Salah in a different way and you're offering in a different way and you're looking at him
like this, and he couldn't we couldn't say salam to them and you know, looking on all the agenda in
the mind. And 467 thoughts and suspicions and him this group and this and Sufi and Burro Barelvi and
they openly and Wahhabi and this guy yeah, no Salam like okay, you know everybody's going to go and
the suddenly we go out of the masjid and then cross into the street and go to a bank and there's a
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			nice young lady Muslim mashallah the brother says salah,
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:49
			but non Muslim ladies smile. Hi, how are you as the weather in the bank in the post office? Where's
all the smile gone in the masjid with Muslims, just because at least he's a Muslim. Maybe a
different background of a Muslim. Maybe he has different ways of practicing Islam. But if you can
smile at the lady at the post office, and you should be careful smiling ladies as brothers. Sisters
are listening they can smile at other ladies and sister should be careful with too much smiling with
brothers. But we can smile at non Muslims but in the masjid what's happened with with your fellow
Muslim brothers and sisters?
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:59
			This is the Hadith a minimum level what a higher a female Allah Allah for Allah EULA. There is and
then he says the messengers of Allah who said a mortal
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:16
			mean is an abode of love? And then he said, What are Hydra phim and you love what you love? There is
no good. There is no good in the one who does not love others and others don't love him or her.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:49
			These two things are connected. When you don't love others when we show up we don't show compassion
love mercy towards others automatically. Others will not show that love compassion towards us. There
is no good the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is saying that forget all your like Ibadat and
worship and all of this. There is no good in you. There is no good and that's why the Qurani kya in
the Latina Farah Adina humbucker new Shira unless them in whom you shake those who got divided in
the religion and became different groups, groups and sects.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:16:22
			The messengers Allah says to the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam less termin, whom fee che,
you have nothing to do with them. They have no good in them in their Hadith. This is saying that oh
Rasul Allah, you have nothing to do with them, because they have been divided into different groups
and sects. And this doesn't say what kind of division sectarian cultural background, they have
divided like where Pakistan is where Bengali is where Punjab Punjabis were Indian were suddenly from
Sudan were Somalians were Arab were Syrian were you know, Danish or whatever, different different
backgrounds.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:48
			I'm not saying that we everybody has to always sort of be together all the time. Of course, you live
with your family, more so and then your relatives because you have things in common. You have a
different type of food to eat, of course, but to cause disunity, based on religious divisions, or
ethnic divisions is an absolutely unlawful act in Islam. And the verse which, you know, the one of
the young students recited
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:28
			what I've just seen will be heavily Allahu jammy on what you know that verse comes after another
verse. Here you have ladina Ahmed who Allah, haka, toccata Walter Muto Nila unto Muslim moon, Oh you
who believe fear Allah, this ayah is recited you know when when we get married, when the Imam is
reciting the whatever is called this is called the Sunnah, whatever hotword on Hijjah is the Sunnah
of the messenger. So Allahu Allah is the one I recited at the beginning of my talk. He would recite
that not just for marriage, but any important issue. He will recite this and then after that he
would recite three verses of Taqwa. And all of these verses of taco actually talk about unity. I
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			will talk about the other verse from Surah Nisa Jonas, we know
		
00:17:32 --> 00:18:02
			when we talk about tribalism, and family, and then the second verse, you have Latina Ahmed who
tabula haka, Ducati, Walter Mutanda, Illa, on Tuesday morning, all of you who believe fear Allah as
he ought to be feared, and do not die except in the state of faith. And the third one, you're
Latina, Allah wa ooo Outland said either again fear Allah say correct things say that which is true
say you know, appropriate words because you can harm people with our tongue. So again tongue
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:08
			This is fear Allah as you ought to be feared and then we're Arthur C mu B Hubballi. law he joins me
on whether to
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:21
			hold on to the rope of Allah wa ala Topher Rocco, do not be divided. We heard the translation do not
be divided. When we say do not be divided actually some of the scholars right the look Allah did not
say Well
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:35
			why don't seem to be humble Allah He Jimmy and wallah for Rabu, there's a difference between tougher
rock and the love. He never said wala doctorly who do not disagree? When I talk about the third
issue, and I know times moving fast,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:57
			religious matters, there is differences we are we have differences, we have to live with those
differences, even the Companions disagreed. disagreeing in matters of religion is not a problem is
part and parcel of our teachings of Islam. But the isn Wallah for who? Do not be divided? Yes,
disagree, but do not be divided.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:27
			And then the verse goes on. We heard the translation that what goes through your amygdala here, are
they going to murder and for alpha? Vina Palooka Converse baton beta Amity. Juana through this deen
and Islam. This ayah was revealed after incident that you know that there was two tribes, I was on
Hazaragi and they were divided for 40 years like they were fighting you know, sometimes to hunt
downs and families are fighting for years and decades on end. And he actually started with a with a
with a word with some, like,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			disagreement about a chicken.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:59
			He happened and why did this chicken come in here and you know, and this and that and it carried on
for decades. There were bloodshed. You know, some villages do that those bloodshed. And Islam came
when the messenger sallallahu alayhi salam came he brought these two tribes together and they
forgave each other and all the ancestral, you know, arguments and fights and quarrels were left
behind. This is what Allah is talking about what the Quran airmet Allah here alikoum remember the
name of Allah is going to murder and you are enemies.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:18
			A level vainikolo becomes the same word Allah from the Hadith minima Allah when he created love
between your hearts, the Companions from different backgrounds, different tribes, and Tsar Maha
JRun. O's, huzzah Raj Quraysh. No Quraysh
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:46
			all when united in the name of Islam. That's why we you know the famous incident when the Mon siren
Maharaja, Ron was saying Salman al Farsi he is from us and they were saying he's from us. The
messenger sallallahu alayhi salam he said what's happening because we just having a small discussion
we want him to be part of us. And others say you want him to be part of our family said no. Cinema
and Mina al beat he is from the beat is from my family. Why? Because the family of Islam is a little
bait is one family.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:21:24
			We don't have different tribal backgrounds as one family in devil Munna eco. For us, they probably
know how equal this is what brings a Muslim close to Allah and his messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam,
this is what takes people to paradise. Sometimes we have this ego. We have all these thoughts. We
think we are better than other people just because we outwardly practice Islam we dress like a
Muslim. We go to the masjid sometimes an ego comes about you know there's a hadith again the Muslim
government, once the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sitting with a few companions and he
was talking to them and then he said to him to them. Your to Laurel Erna alikoum Raju Minnelli Jana,
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			suddenly the next person who will enter the masjid will be a man of Jannah.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:52
			So the older companions, they sweeten the look to the door, who's entering the door, your throat I
was once mentioned in this hadith, and everybody was looking, they look towards the door, they
didn't understand what I said and a brother entered and recently Shala Euro modern man of gender. So
the messenger sallallahu alayhi salam said the next person I said, the next person will who will
enter will be a man of gender. So the brothers thought that I was saying the next person is a man of
gender.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:59
			So they all looked sad of course Radi Allahu Anhu entered the Masjid.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:35
			Second day, again, the messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam said the same thing. He had to earn an ID
camera Judo mineral Jana, the man of gender will enter it looked again again. So I don't know if
your cost is coming with the slippers in his hand and he's just performed we'll do an in some of the
way out, you know, water is dripping from his hair from his beard. He just did perform Lulu third
day, the same incident he said the man who shall enter next in the masjid, through the door will be
is a man of gender. The oh look, you're saddled? No be what costs are the Allahu Anhu. So another
companion Abdullah have now moved on us. So to the Allahu Anhu. He said after the three days I had
		
00:22:35 --> 00:23:12
			no like, I had to go and talk to this guy. This is a hobby this what you know, I had to see why is
the amount of gender. So he said after three days I followed him and then I said to him on the way
that you know, have some issues. He didn't lie, but you know, he kind of just did what we say like a
healer and you know, have some issues etc. At home, if you don't mind, can I come and stay at your
house? And he said the reason was, I wanted to see what did he do? What was he doing? Because I was
under the impression this guy is a man of gender meaning he must be not sleeping at night and
Priyanka Leyland tahajjud and Dhikr of Allah and, and to be and Serato, SRA Consolata. Were being
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:48
			and you know, all the different things I want you to just you know, because you find out someone's
true reality at the house. So he said, I asked him, he said okay, no problem. I have space, you can
come and stay for a few days until your problem is solved. He says I stayed three days. In those
three days, I saw him doing nothing. Nothing. He would just offer his prayers five times and even a
night he was just like wake up and stretch his hands and just do some delille or you say Lila and
that's it. No extra worship nothing. So I was a bit amazed like, why is the amount of gender there
must be some quality. So after three days, he said I had to ask him. So you know what, actually I
		
00:23:48 --> 00:24:10
			didn't I don't have that major problem. But the reason is the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
described you a man of Jannah three times I want to know is there something some quality? What's the
reason? He said Ma Hua, Allah ma right. He said, Oh, Abdullah bin Ahmed giving us nothing more than
what you see. What you see is what I do I don't do anything extra.
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:59
			Except Yes, in the Illa any except the fact that law urge you do feel call will be late. I had a
minute Muslimeen a question. I have no hatred or you could say jealousy towards any of the believers
in my heart. While I say to Allah Hidin artha hula who year who? Allah has given anyone any normal
blessing? I have no jealousy. My heart is clean. In another rewire, he says our hadoo mother Jerry
will as a vehicle be removed. Every night I sleep I have nothing negative towards anybody on planet
Earth with a clean heart. This is what takes takes people agenda. Sometimes we see people you know
just simple clean minded people. Click sorry, clean heart
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:36
			unclean minded we're clean hearted people sometimes we think these guys have a bit you know foolish
or he doesn't really know about the world, this man will be entering gender or this woman will enter
gender before before all intelligent people you know we say these bola bola type of person, these
people actually in the Hadith the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says ropa Asha Baba, these
kinds of simple people, the shallow clothing low Oksana Allah Allah Hilah, Bara if they were to take
an oath that by Allah, this will happen or should happen Allah will make it happen because of them.
You know, the baraka comes because of the weak people in our community, the ones we think, you know,
		
00:25:36 --> 00:26:08
			just like just filling space, where they we are here because of them. Allah has given us it is fun
and safety and security because of the simple, clean hearted they don't have much knowledge
sometimes they're not even considered to be outwardly religious. But this clean heartedness is
extremely important quality takes a person directly to Jannah clean hearted quality. No, you know,
enmity towards anybody. No jealousy, no hatred, no ego, no agenda. No, you know, sort of
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:49
			evil intentions No, no. Abusing anyone not taking advantage of anyone just clean hearted people.
Sometimes others take the advantage of them. Of course, they need to sort of make sure that they
don't get abused or get taken advantage of but these are the kinds of people this these are just one
or two texts I've mentioned. I mean, I can go on on this topic on time he showed the opposite of all
of this is what disunity Katia terrein breaking of ties, enmity, hatred, jealousy quarreling,
fighting, it could be the greatest sin. The Hadith. in Sahih al Bukhari towards the end of Sahil
Buhari the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, We're FOSATU that will bind al Holika. It
		
00:26:49 --> 00:27:04
			destroys, you know, cutting ties and disunity destroys it shaves his head Holika it's like a
something that shaves off, would you call it?
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			You shave your head of
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:19
			trimmer, or does it just trims or shaves your head? Like razor, you could say razor Holika.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:20
			And then he said,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:28:04
			I'm not saying it shaves your head, or your hair like mine is but he said that he could deem it
shaves your religion. In other words, it takes your religion out from its roots. What facade was
that real pain? Before that, he said Shall I not tell you of something which is better than solid
optional loving solid and Seon fasting and sadaqa. The companion said please tell us on Messenger of
Allah. He said he slept with 13 pain when two people are disunited, causing them to be united is
better than Salah fasting and sadaqa the optional one Nuffield prayer tahajjud Gamaliel optionals
fasting and oh this hadith Sahih Bukhari and also sadaqa optional charity.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:16
			The the, the issue is that despite all of this, and it's an major sin, breaking of ties, you know,
this hadith in Sahih al Bukhari that anyone
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:46
			who folk orthodox woman Hydra Ahafo Berthelot Infomart, about $1. Now, anyone who doesn't talk to
their fellow Muslim brother or sister for more than three days, three nights they die in that state.
The hadith says straight and direct in the Hellfire May Allah protects. People don't talk people
don't talk to their fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters. It's a crime. It's a major crime.
It's not a small simple sin. It's a major, major, major sin disputes about money, disputes about
inheritance, disputes about property,
		
00:28:47 --> 00:29:01
			property in Pakistan, disputes about, you know, wealth about money about you know, just sometimes
childish issues. There's one Hadith of the messenger sallallahu alayhi. Salam said unnecessary Moon
be baiting Phil, Jana Lehmann, Tara al Mira,
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:09
			I guarantee you a palace in Paradise. If you leave a dispute, even though you're on the truth.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:48
			Of course, we can try our best but if it's getting too messy, and we leave it for the sake of Allah,
make this intention. He imagined 20 years we won't get that property in Pakistan. But 400 million
billion years of eternity, we'll get that Paris 20 years left, we have 1420 years left, people now
die between 60 and 70. That's the average anything over 65 As a bonus, so short life, it goes like
this blink of an eye for that a few pounds in a few pennies here on a property here on a property
that doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. In the greater scheme of things. Imagine this life is
6570 years in comparison to next life. How long is it?
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:59
			20 years, 100 years 204,000 1 million, 2 million, 3 million billion, never ending eternal life. When
you go into the next slide this off
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:26
			hoping when we go into the next slide this life will seem like a moment of a mourning or a moment of
an evening. And no homeo Morona Haarlem your birth will actually get an old haha it's like when you
have to 4 billion years, we think how we came to dunya I remember maybe there was a place in dunya,
England, UK Peter brah maybe I don't know, I was born. I think I was married I had children maybe I
had one grandchild and then I died.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:31:01
			That's dunya moment of a morning after 4 billion years. It's nothing this life is liable to Quran
there's numerous verses in the Quran that say this is a game. This is like a game you know, when you
grow old and we remember our childhood days? Or was I really arguing about that car that toy? You
know, someone your mom or your dad tells you, you know, when you were small, you had a big fight
with another five year old boy about this cart. So foolish. When you go into the next life, we will
be told you know, you and this other businessman who had been on this property, we're fighting about
it. That's so funny. I was foolish. How it's like a child.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			Anyway, off topic, but
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:31
			this sin of breaking ties is a major sin. Despite that, sadly, brothers and sisters, it is so sad
that at every level of society at every level of society, from family relationships, marriages, and
I'm not saying divorces don't happen can happen but divorce Islamically there's a Islamic divorce
and then there's a you know, animal type of divorce.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:32:11
			So I'm not saying divorce means you're disunited? No, there's one Islamic divorce and there's one
which is inhumane divorce. The Quran tells us how to even divorce for him Sercombe Maroof in Otis
rehome their son, I will come to that. I know time is short, that in an amicable way divorce has to
be done in an amicable way you don't become lifelong enemies and blame each other's family and
hundreds and you have the grand great granddad here and the great grandmother here and the mother in
law there and the Father in Law Day and for eternity you become enemies and use the children the one
of the greatest sins is using the children against your ex. You know don't let your your you know
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:52
			your your the children's father or the mother to see this is one of the greatest crimes anyone can
ever commit on planet Earth. It's the greatest oppression, not oppression on your ex husband or ex
wife oppression on the children. Your problems should not contribute to your children having an
enmity with their father or mother. It's a major sin to divorce can happen but at every level of
society. Sadly, every level from family there's disunity every model I wanted every but many many
families are divided within relatives is problem daughter in law, mother in law, Sister in law,
brother in law, relatives every level there's Katya to rhyme, breaking of ties, disunity,
		
00:32:54 --> 00:33:36
			agendas, hatred, jealousy in the heart, and then at the wider society. diffs masjid, that Masjid
this group that group, every level of civil society we are sadly divided. And actually one of the
I've heard this from a few scholars, that one of the reasons why we have so many problems in the
Muslim ummah is because of this. One of my teachers will sit up with him and you have with Allah He
said, there's two reasons I feel we have all these problems in the world. One is because we are not
clear in our monetary dealings. There's too much fraud, cheating, deception, unlawfully consuming
people's wealth. While I'm alert or not clear. We don't Oh, we don't pay money back. Love of dunya
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:51
			and these are major haram acts. We could pray all our prayers and Pamela and dress like a Muslim and
look like a great Muslim. But if I'm not paying my debt on time, I'm taking people's wealth and I'm
not paying money back. It's a major haram, all the other Ibadat go invade.
		
00:33:52 --> 00:34:26
			One of the great reasons of our problems is because of not having dealings clear, cheating, fraud,
deception, consuming wealth, people selling goods with defects or not disclosing them, and the list
goes on. And the other is this general disunity in more Arcia we are all disunited family relatives
and then backgrounds at every level. You know, there's a hadith and Sunnah novel by Houthi, which is
a Hadith mentioned in itself. The chain is not absolutely authentic. But with the other Hadith, it
can become sound.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:28
			It's about a little,
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:59
			you know, little girl, the night of the middle 15th of Shaban. There's about nine or 10 Hadith which
talk about the virtues no specific virtue but just general virtues of the Laila to miss women shall
burn. And this is a scholarly discussion that individually these are these are weak but collectively
they there's about 910 1112 So one of them is in soon I'll be happy with a messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam he mentioned that on this night, your article Allahu fi home in a nerdy because you
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			The sharing economy Bionicle
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:20
			This is such a blessing night we all think oh let's go to the masjid and lay little Baran big night
and whatever whatever he's telling us about his big night he says your article Allahu fi home in a
nerdy because of the sharing economy but he called a love freeze. That's why it's called Leila to
Bara.
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:47
			Allah freeze on this night from hellfire. How many people 1015 20? No, the Hadith says an amount
which is equal to the amount of the hairs that is on the cattle and the animals owned by the tribe
can burn who call Bowser tribe and they used to have lots of sheeps and goats, so many animals like
1000s of animals, imagine 1000s of animals and every animal one one head.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:36:20
			In other words, there's not a specific number. This is the clear that Allah will feed. On this night
he freezes so many people who are destined to go hellfire. May Allah make us one of them. I mean,
but if you want to be one of them, he says there's a few people that forget freeing them and
forgiving them Allah does not even look at them with mercy when a young guru Allahu Allah CarterI
Rahim. Allah does not even look at the one who breaks ties with Allah, Allah, masha and the one who
has jealousy and enmity in the heart.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:31
			And then he mentioned another to Allah, Allah muda mini hammer and alcohol addict, whether it must
be the one who learns his garment in which the scholars say out of pride and going back to pride,
which has to do with the heart.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:38
			So every level, there's breaking of ties, we look at the family.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:53
			Within family, I was saying we have disunity in the family itself. You know, when you look at the
Quran, the Quran doesn't even go into the details of Ibadat some of you may not know there's nowhere
in the Quran which states that this took out of Fajr Salah
		
00:36:55 --> 00:37:33
			Fajr has been mentioned just about Allah has mentioned version of the harasser. mcgurrin Russia, but
to say four out of Asia, it's not in the Quran, it's in the Hadith. When it comes to a Bodart
worshipping Allah the Quran is very limited. Allah left the details to the messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam to explain in his Saha authenticated Hadith. But when it comes to family matches,
when it comes to social laws, the Quran goes into extreme detail about marriage Surah Al Baqarah
Surah to Nyssa Surah to Tala Allah says about dowry, that if you fix a dowry, and then you give a
divorce or if you give a divorce without fixing of dowry you how what I was telling you about
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:58
			divorce, Allah said for him circumvent my roof in if you give divorced and either hold on to your
spouse, or have the city have divorce amicably in a humane way, not be enemies. In the family.
There's so much emphasis given so much emphasis to have harmony and peace within the family when we
say family, the relatives. And there's one Hadith in Sahih Muslim where,
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:44
			you know, Allah spoke actually to the tie itself, Allah gave it a tongue to speak to him. And then
he spoke and he said Amata Dean and Assad assume and wasa lucky were Octoman kata archy that I will
maintain the one who maintains you, oh, Thai, you know, the types of the kinship and I will break
the one who breaks you this silly little rivalry between family members, it's highly important,
extremely important. Extremely important, but the problem is brothers. We all have you see, we are
all human beings and human we have all these human traits. Yes, animalistic traits. A human being is
not just by body and flesh. This is why one of the scholars of the subcontinent used to say to his
		
00:38:44 --> 00:39:21
			students and you know people who used to come and stay in his company he would say if you want to be
a big shareholder, a big imam or big, you know, whatever, whatever and big pious person where you
have Allah you go somewhere else. If you want to be a human being in sun then you come here and
inshallah we'll try to become in sun here. You we be in human beings before we have all this
animalistic traits. What are these traits? Ego, hatred, jealousy, you know, sometimes we think we
are civil and Hamdulillah we are, but let's think right now 100 We are not fighting for food. Why?
Because we're all eating. You know, when the going gets tough. Humans eat each other. You know if
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:57
			we're living where we will struggling and if someone's giving us aid, we'll punch each other and
we'll try to grab that. Our ego these are animalistic traits. Look at animals. Have you taken on
taking your children to the pond and give some bread to the swans and pigeons? What did they do?
Like I always tell my son as I look look how they fit in when my son fights with his sister is six
years old and his sister. So I told I take him to the animals and I said look, this is brother
sister fighting you know? So do you want to be like a goat? Are you a goat or your swan? Are you a
pigeon good No, no, no, no, I share I share Yeah, I say Be a human share. Don't be a goat. They
		
00:39:57 --> 00:40:00
			don't share the fight. You know you see a bear
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:43
			A pigeon coming and there's a small one coming and not letting it get have any bread. These are all
human being is a social animal and we have these animalistic traits. Sometimes we are more animal
than animals. And some animals are more human than humans, we need to become human beings. So you
know, all these traits, we have to work on them, jealousy, hatred, each one of them, we have to
control our inner selves we need to, that's why the poet said Alika, the Roshi for stepmill, for La
Ilaha, for Inaka, Ruhi lab and just the internal look at your soul, have all these, you know, called
acquire all these good qualities and traits of the soul. Because you're inside, you're a human, not
		
00:40:43 --> 00:41:22
			by your body and flesh. You're a human because of your soul, the purity of the inner soul. So we all
know we should be good to our family members and relatives. But the problem is we have all these
animalistic human kind of traits that we don't work on. Like, for example, we all want attention.
When we maintain ties, one of the biggest problems is that when we maintain ties we don't maintain
for the sake of Allah. In Islam, there's a difference. Islam says everyone says Be good to your
family, neighbor. Islam says yes, but there's a difference. The difference is when you maintain
ties, it should be only for the sake of Allah. You know, when does he who needs a glasses not just
		
00:41:22 --> 00:42:01
			when you pray salah they don't pray for anybody else and pray for Allah No, even maintaining ties,
when we be good to our husband, wife, spouse, children, muslims, non Muslims. We don't expect we
should not expect anything in return, then who do you mean? Come on what we don't want no thanks. We
don't want no Jazak Allah, we don't want no gratitude. We don't give her the gift. Not because, you
know, if I don't give it what will people say in the community, one of the biggest problems is like,
What will people say that's killed us? What will people say? We do things because what image we will
have, we oppress our children in marriages, because of an image in the community, a small wedding
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:39
			because of an image, we spend money we can't afford it. We go and take loans because of an image
these people will come to your walima and they'll go outside even if you've spent 1000s of puzzles
still say you know, there was too much salt or whatever or the chair was like this or this, you
know, pleasing people. It's a big problem. maintain ties for the sake of Allah, you and we are good
to someone. We should not expect anything in return if they are good return 100 bonus, if not, I
wasn't expecting it. Actually, one of the Golden principles of being happy in this world is not to
expect anything from anyone except Allah will never be disappointed. This is what Islam teaches. To
		
00:42:39 --> 00:43:19
			her due to her to her daughter her boo, give gifts you will increase in love, but not like a symbol,
not just like because what people will say oh, because they gave us a gift in their wedding they
gave us so in, you know we have to give them in our wedding they gave us in their wedding gift. This
is all transactions when you go to our parents. Let's be good to them. So they will give us leave us
inheritance. Let's look after our children because you know when we get old they have to do our
trademark. These are all unlawful intentions. And this is one of the main reasons why our we don't
have Seletar right? The hadith says in Sahil Bihari Lacell was a noble McCarthy Wallah Kindle wasn't
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:30
			another you put here at Rahim who was the Maintain of ties as the not the one who reciprocates and
the one who gives back when someone's good to me and I am good to them. No big deal. That's just
like normal.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:58
			That's just normal. If I wasn't doing that, probably I don't know what I'll be an animal. The real
maintainer, Allah in enamel wall sell a lady era gutian Rahima, who was the real maintain of ties is
the one when others break you off, you maintain ties for the sake of Allah. This is this is the
challenge this is being a human being, we need to come out from this animalistic traits, and try to
be humans. So within the family,
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:16
			and then so with if we do have these kinds of disputes, you know, for the sake of Allah, we should
just forgive. You know, think about death, think about shortness of life, there is no use in just
wasting precious time and arguing and, you know, dealing with some issues like everyday, you know,
in some families, it's like a soap opera.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:51
			Every day, there's something Oh, the mother in law said this, but how would you say this? Well, the
notary laws are days where I'm going to say this for the granddad said this or the uncle said days.
Oh, yeah, let him come here. I will sorter here for Niigata word this is like two years it's like
the same issue. Come on, don't have a life. Do something positive. It's like a soap opera in the
family just carries on or on how many sins we commit and we still come to the masjid and we dressed
like a Muslim. The Hadith of the messenger sallallahu alayhi salam described a Muslim who who has
love in his heart
		
00:44:53 --> 00:45:00
			and then there's so many other reasons actually wants did a whole course three four years ago over
Ramadan reasons of family conflict.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:33
			raked, I went through 10 reasons and their solutions, over 30 days, 10 reasons, each one of them why
there's problems in the family. Why do we have arguments and quarrels within our families, there's
10 reasons that came to my mind based on the Quran and Sunnah went through each reason. And then
this solution to one was this, I just mentioned one right now, because we don't have correct
intentions or the motors really near, you don't have your class and sincerity. The solution is to be
sincere. Anything we do for our home and family members. Don't expect anything, even if you're good
to your husband or your wife.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:56
			reward is with Allah. You don't have so many times people who email on call your husband or wife
problems all the time I hear this sisters coding, or you know, I do this, I do this, I do this, I do
this. I'm not. I know I have some some weaknesses. You know, everyone says, you know, I'm not I'm
not saying I'm an angel. I'm not saying I'm an angel. But I'm this I do this and I do this and I do
this and he doesn't do anything.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:13
			I say looks, of course, if he's abusing you, if his physical, mental psychological abuse you of
course you have the right to put a stop to that. But a lot of the times and whether it's the husband
or the wife, I say look, you know, when you go in Jana, you will probably wish that he did nothing
for you all the rewards in that
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:51
			you do your share, you fulfill your who your rights, your responsibilities, the rights of your
husband or your right to your wife, what they have to give, forget, forget it, don't worry about it.
And you know what? 99 point 99% of the time if we take the responsibility of fulfilling the rights
that other person will definitely unless that person is some crazy individual is not at all a human
but somebody has take the initiative, but not just like do it and wait okay, I've done it for one
month now. Let me see Is he is he is he going to start giving my rights from today? She's going to
give no just do it for the sake of Allah the reward is in the IRA. Be good to your uncle, your
		
00:46:51 --> 00:47:03
			relatives reward is in our Hara for the sake of Allah, if people fulfill my rights or not, you know,
I don't know if they do hamdulillah if they don't, Inshallah, Allah will reward me and we do what's
in our capability, what's our responsibility?
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:46
			And then we look at the wider sectarian divide, a massive divide, you know, again, the verse of the
Quran, when we read your ladina your nursing in Surah to Nyssa first verse again marriage time, this
is you know, at the time of marriage, why these three verses are being recited to son of the
messengers that Allah what is to do with Taqwa. Why? Because people who are marrying the husband,
the wife, the both families, the mother in law, the father in law, the you know, the extended
families are being reminded about unity, because marriage is supposed to be about unity, but it can
be a cause of most disunity marriage. There are people to families there were no problems for 20
		
00:47:46 --> 00:48:10
			years as soon as a son marries a daughter from here, that's it problems finish. Now for lifelong
there'll be enemies so marriage is supposed to bring hearts together what's happening marriage
there's so many cases is two families living in Peterborough no problem respect Masha Allah come to
our house over dinner each others as soon as forgetting marriage as soon as engagement takes place.
problems start
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:18
			the mother starts arguing from the or the father, or but they didn't call us now how can we call
this our ego?
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:55
			What are you know, seriously, something's just I just don't understand sometimes. Like some people
say, Oh, well, we tried. They should call us first. Hadith says Alberdi will be salami, very nominal
cable, the one who says around first, his heart is free from pride and arrogance. You know, one of
the person who was walking in a pious person was he was walking past a past person. And he said you
should do Salam. Do you know who I am? He said, Yeah, I know who you are. Well, you cannot. Haruka.
Jeeva Wanda terminal female VENA Dhulikhel Khedira you're beginning was a drop of sperm like if you
went on the bed you have to make sure you wash it and squeeze it that's You said you know who I am.
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:59
			Yes, you are in the beginning you are a drop of sperm money. Patra
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:41
			Jeeva and after 6070 years when you're going to die you're just going to be a dead body that people
are going to just put their hands over the nose and you're going to smell a flesh a corpse and put
it in the ground and see after two months you'll be bones and animals will be eating you and insects
one at a time you know female being a vertical carrier and between the dirty drop of sperm and
smelly corpse you walk around this world with toilet and stool in your and your in your stomach.
That's you. That's the reality of all of us human beings. How can we ever have pride? Pride is not
you know this is the Hadith the good see where Allah says pride and is my my position. We have no
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:59
			right in any way to have pride. So tribalism based on ethnicity. Are you a nurse inna Kalapana
coming up another just 10 minutes 10 to 15 minutes maximum Inshallah, in the Halacha coming daiquiri
Monza which Allah consumer Wakaba Elita Arafa in a coma coma
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:01
			Hola Hola taco.
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:33
			The only reason we made you into different groups and different tribes is so that you recognize one
another. If there's three people they all have the name Abdullah, you know this one is from
Bangladesh. This one was from Iraq and this one's from cassava. That's the only reason later on
Rafiu in a caramel comment Allah here at how can you being brown black the Hadith says this isa is
that the most noble before Allah is the One who has most Taqwa. And the Hadith says in the Calista
behind him in Amara with a sweat, you are not better because you are white, or you are black color.
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:45
			According to Allah, turquoise was in the heart that matters, like color, white color, red color,
cream, color, pink color, whatever, doesn't matter. Ethnicity doesn't matter.
		
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48
			Just because we were born Muslims doesn't matter.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:51:01
			Sometimes we think Islam belongs in Pakistan or India or Bangladesh like we are. So we have a right
to be better Muslims, most of the Sahaba if not all of them embraced Islam.
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:22
			They all embraced Islam. Islam is not restricted to a culture. It's not restricted to ethnicity.
It's not restricted to a background. Quran wasn't revealed in Bengali open job you all do. And it
was revealed in Arabic but it's not even restricted to the Arabs, you could have an Arab is a
Christian. It's not to which language you speak, or what background we have.
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:34
			The most noble to Allah is the One who has the most fear the most, closest to Allah, the One who has
good god consciousness Taqwa awareness of Allah subhanaw taala. So we really need to work in the
community.
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:48
			This divide based on ethnicity, having pride actually there's a hadith is gonna be though that in
Allah called the hubba uncom Obeah tal Jaya Helia will be Abba, Allah.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:52:28
			Messenger sallallahu alayhi salam said through Islam, Allah removed from you the vain glory of the
days of Jaha Leah and boasting through your ancestors like my hand Don and my family and my family

dust min ha ha canal mafia, no, they do come we are all created from dust. And we are all one family
at the end of the day anyway, because we all go back to them peace be upon him. So to have this
thought of a moral high ground or a moral high position, or we think we've got a better position
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:33
			just because we are from a particular ethnicity or background, this is absolutely unlawful in Islam.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:53:05
			So there's a lot of divisions based on we need to really try. We need to spread this in the
community. If you are only having people come into YouTube to house from your same background, try
to call different different people. If you're a you know, from India, for example, and try to call
back studies of Bangladeshis or Arab or Somalian or British convert Muslim river Muslim mix with the
community. Islam brings hearts together that companions came from all backgrounds Islam came to one
family, we are all one family.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:45
			You know, there's other things in the world that unites people. Sadly, Islam doesn't unite. You
know, there's other things that unite people, people who have an interest in one same thing, they
all become one family, they don't care. I'll give you a classic example of sports. You know, they
are passionate, crazy. Sports fans, football fans, you know, there's a particular team and they all
are crazy whether you're black, blue, green, Indian, Muslim, none, they actually say that we are all
one family religions, race doesn't matter. race doesn't matter. religion doesn't matter. Ethnicity
doesn't matter. Gender doesn't matter. And they also say one other thing. Sexual orientation doesn't
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:51
			matter. But anyway, I want to go into that topic. But that doesn't matter as well. We are all one
family like everybody together.
		
00:53:52 --> 00:54:00
			If worldly things you know, a game, something like that can bring people together, we have a greater
purpose to be together. And lastly,
		
00:54:01 --> 00:54:14
			this religious divide, it's a massive problem, massive, massive, massive problem. I said in the
beginning, Islam the problem is that we have misunderstood what Unity is when it comes to religious
matters, we have misunderstood.
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:38
			Unity does not mean we all believe everything exactly in the same way. We will practice Islam in the
same way. That's not what Unity that's why the title was unity through diversity, diversity, whether
ethnic diversity or diversity within the understanding of Islam. You know, these differences within
Muslims
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:55
			occurred since the time of the companions you know, there were so many disagreements amongst the
companions. They had disagreements. And this one is part and parcel of our teachings of Islam. Islam
is not meant to be that everybody agrees to every aspect of faith.
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59
			You might say, okay, when it comes to fit, of course, well, some people don't even get that
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:33
			Well when it comes to fake Islamic rules, that's why we have the Hanafi school the Shaeffer school,
Maliki school humbly school. Some people follow another moosh the head there's different ways the
thing is that it's not clear if he was clear no to Muslims would be divided. It's not clear in the
Quran and Sunnah these issues are not clear, they are not Qatari, they are not absolute. You can
interpret a particular verse in two ways or three ways. That's why scholars these great schools of
thought have spent 1000s of years 1000s of scholars over 1000s of years have exerted try to come to
a conclusion what does Allah really want from us? What does the messenger sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:55:33 --> 00:56:12
			want from us? That's why if the love for Almighty Rama, Murthy, Rama, this is the saying not a
hadith was the saying of one of this hobby, that the differences of the OMA is a mercy. And this is
something Allah wanted from us. And that's why the Quran does not say well, Attorney foo, many Imams
and books I've written on this topic. Look, the differences are part and parcel of teachings of
Islam. And it will occur, we have to agree to disagree, we have to learn to agree to disagree. We
need to follow the position we follow, but respect the position of other people. So you might say
but when it comes to Aqeedah, then what? Well a lot of people don't understand this as well. You
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:54
			know, in Aqeedah, there are a key there is not a one to one level, the things we believe in are not
of one level, there are different levels within within a feeder. There are some issues of Aqeedah
there are absolutely, you know categorically established, believing in Allah, believing in the
Oneness of Allah hereafter Jana, Johanna hellfire, believing in the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam believing him to be the final prophet, there's level one of Aqeedah issues. If somebody
denies them, they leave Islam, then you have a second level of issues. So many examples in that
level. If somebody denies them, then they're not careful that they are deviated, then you have a
		
00:56:54 --> 00:57:28
			third level. If someone denies them neither deviated but they're an error, then you have a fourth
level all up either issues. If somebody refuses them or rejects them or denies them, then they just
unlike jahaan, or just ignorance, then you have another last level where they're not doing something
they're not believing in certain certain things, which are supposed to be better to believe in.
There are different levels. We don't have knowledge, we put all of them in one category. Like for
example, you know, just example comes when somebody asked me you say, oh, I want to know what's
Akita about the messenger sallallahu alayhi salam having a shadow or not?
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:48
			This is not an issue of Akita. Because you want all these big Arpita I want to know, if somebody
believes like, you know, did he you have to have a Aqeedah that he didn't have a shadow or he had a
shadow or whatever and you if you don't believe in that, that's not even a matter of accreta it's
not even in the five levels. That's the issue of Syrah.
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:51
			It's an issue of Syrah.
		
00:57:52 --> 00:57:58
			There's, you know, if somebody is like somebody saying, Oh, can you tell me that Akita did a
messenger sallallahu alayhi salam have long hair or short hair?
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:30
			Is that Akita that's Shamaya? You know, he applied he loves his hair. There's two opinions. Some
scholars say that he used to apply dye on his beard, and that's why he was slightly brown. There's
another opinion, just muddy when they say no, he never but it used to be naturally now there's two
opinions. There's two types of Hadith and we're not sure it's a Sierra issue. No problem. One
opinion this opinion exactly the same whether he had a shadow or not, it doesn't really make a
difference because we still have to follow Him and we still have to believe in Him. Him having a
shadow doesn't increase his rank and not having a shadow doesn't increase his rank. Having a shadow
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:36
			doesn't make him something normal. It's no problem it's just an issue of theories like it's about a
fact Okay, did you have you do not
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:43
			discussing them or how do you think we'll discuss it has nothing to do with our kids have nothing to
do with believe nothing to do with that either? It's a family issue
		
00:58:45 --> 00:58:55
			there's one brother once said I want to know a question but beef tell me beforehand Do you believe
in Do you are you have the Akita of a salatu salam ala Rasulillah I said it's like telling me I have
the al Qaeda Subhanallah
		
00:58:57 --> 00:59:38
			come on me sir. Okay, the issue that's not an accommodation and this is why and I tell you, I've
been teaching credo for many years and I'm currently teaching and I always tell students and we go
into depth of issues like really depth and seriously after studying a lot of issues and this is not
just for myself from some of my teachers as well. That the scope for Sunni Islam and Sunnah will
Gemma is very vast, very vast, very vast. You might not hear this from a lot of people and hopefully
inshallah this is true, but it's very fast we've narrowed Well, first of all, we've narrowed Islam
itself. Anyone slight disagreement cover, cover cover cover mushing I covered we should be in like
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:59
			innovation or emotional cover, small problems, gutter, small issues. You know what the definition of
cover is? Cooper is in karuma Alima Mina Dini without aura, this is this is a topic on its own. You
know, I went into family and then I went into sectarianism based on tribals. And then I've come into
the religious matters and I've just like just five minutes on this, but this requires another tooth.
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:37
			For hours with hundreds of examples, the definition of gopher is to reject this is an agreed upon
definition in Caroma oedema Mina de Neva badura Anyone who rejects the basic matters of Deen, which
are known out of necessity by every child. Anyone who rejects doesn't believe in Allah doesn't
believe in the hereafter doesn't believe in Hammond to Billa Humala equity wakatobi heroes Aliwal yo
Mila and Patrick radiosurgery for shadow, we know there's no shadow we have to that, you know, so
these basic, basic aspects of Aqeedah if someone rejects them, and then there's another thing
rejecting these basic aspects of al Qaeda.
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:57
			And the rejection is clear. Absolutely categorical. So rejecting the categorical occurred in a
categorical way in a country way rejecting a country in a country way. So if somebody rejects it the
basic but
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:33
			we are not 100% sure what he said could have meant this could have meant that could have been this
couldn't that possibility that's where one of the great Imams of the Hanafi school umami, bro
Abilene Rahim Allah he says that if somebody makes a statement or write something, if there's 99
ways of interpreting that to be a statement of Cofer, and there's one way you could interpret it to
be a statement of Islam, you have to say, here's a Muslim. There's 99 ways of reading this study
could be we small, small, we put things in people's mouths, we come to conclusions of what they even
the ancients didn't think about. Someone sees something, let alone they thought about it. They
		
01:01:33 --> 01:01:48
			didn't even cross their mind since many examples I asked once brother, he says this, I I've never
even thought about this in my in my life. And it's like everybody's saying, This is what he said.
And this way he meant he was trying to say something else, giving benefit of the doubt we don't do
that.
		
01:01:49 --> 01:02:26
			So this is the definition of cover, rejecting the basic core beliefs of Islam, basic core beliefs of
Islam and rejecting them in a categorical way. If somebody rejects them, we don't make a statement
we go to them we asked them 200 Times Are you sure is this and anyway we don't have to do that we
don't have to play the role of God anywhere. I mean, we don't have to start you know, finding out
and searching and researching who's a golfer and like we're not making a list we don't own like you
know this list and we don't have to make a list of catheters and moshtix and whatnot for pain and
hypocrites and Muslims or non Muslims alike. But yeah, if somebody is like spreading some teachings
		
01:02:26 --> 01:03:03
			of Islam then yes, we need to maybe like you know to tell people then in that important need time we
need to go and clarify further but you know, the Quran says vertebra you know, seek clarification
asked 500 times have we even gone and spoken to that person who made a statement? Do you really mean
this What do you mean no, no, you probably no no you I show you in this even if it's coming like
Gopher, but I show look look this how do you really mean that we don't want them to be covered? We
want to try our best to beat them to be muslims every group other than Muslims they try to consider
part of their family anyone who even smells like them a Christian says were the most follow religion
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:30
			anyone who even has a Christian name Muslims are the only ones that we want to throw people out like
the less the better why they don't want overcrowding agenda agenda is quite big brothers and sisters
massive if there's you and your small group and posse you're going to be bored in you know like
we're going to do massive Jana Jana is big. We want more people so try our best like give excuses
No, no, no these guys are Muslim inshallah Muslim Come on brother. Even if somebody say no, you're
not saying that you're not saying that inshallah. Come on. You're you're part of a family. I want
you to be part of my family.
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:45
			So this is covered. And then I'm going to enter this after that comes with someone who is a Muslim,
but Sunni Muslim. Everybody says every group there's nobody says you know what? I'm not like
everybody says I'm Sunni.
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:49
			Everybody says and everybody else is non Sunni.
		
01:03:50 --> 01:04:26
			The Salafis were super under sunnah under Hadith when the Sunnah Jamar, but everybody else is not.
And you know, the brothers were Sunnis and these guys are all Wahabis and sorry for names I don't
even like to use names and this is why I don't normally use these. The Quran says Who are some more
common Muslimeen on the tongue of Ibrahim Ali Salaam. Allah called us Muslims just use one name
Muslims that's it if you want to say hello so no Jamar after that fine believers Muslims that said
hello there's nothing else quite after that. There's you know this problem there's reasons why
there's two reasons what there's nothing wrong like to use it. I'm not saying it's haram you know,
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:59
			using Deobandi, but I'll be Salafi and Hadith Ashari Amma to really a 30, Wherever, wherever, as
descriptive terms Hanafi Maliki Shafi humbly, it's permissible but in this current climate is better
to avoid, because there's more harms in using them than there's benefit. The harm is, for example,
one harm is that they're misleading. Because someone says unselfie that means I belonged, like I'm
connected to the righteous early generations. So that means everybody else is not only if it's
misleading, someone says I'm a little Hadith I'm
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:35
			percent of Hadith that means we are the people of Hadith, everybody else is not. So then by default,
that would mean you're not the person of the Quran. So these are these are misleading ones. If
somebody some Deobandi Oberle we, it seems like you're some kind of a sect, like you're part of some
group and newly invented Islam. So autoblogging like, everybody's just terribly nice for a group.
You also believe my owns of everything we do right now is to believe, whether you go in that group
or not or whatever, but you're doing to believe you tell somebody outside on the path, you know, in
the path of Allah, these are all paths of Allah. You know, somebody came to one elderly person, his
		
01:05:35 --> 01:05:38
			pastor at once, he said, Brother, coming up Path of Allah,
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:41
			good path of Allah, I am in the path of Allah.
		
01:05:43 --> 01:05:55
			He was a very jovial person, he's passed away now. So these names are best avoided, but I was just
saying anyone is that these different groups it was a thing before the names I said,
		
01:05:56 --> 01:05:58
			every year everybody thinks they are Sunni.
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:23
			This I said in the beginning, go for an Islam okay, we need to try to make most people Muslims.
Inshallah, I think everybody's a Muslim, except those who are categorically who denied. And then
even then when they come through, we don't need to go and bomb them. Like, okay, your coffee and
your story. You're still a human being, you're not Muslim. We don't consider you to be Muslim. But
that's fine. Other than that, I mean, you can't you have a burger with a non Muslim outside. Yes,
you can.
		
01:06:24 --> 01:06:48
			But you don't need to like fight and argue. Yes, if. So, some are categorical. Like, the Muslims
categorically believe that the Chaldeans, for example, have left the path of Islam. And that's
clear, like we have to we can't like everybody, sometimes we go to the extreme than that, not
everybody's like as a Muslim. So that's one extreme, okay. But other than that, be very careful
about who we called cover. And then after that is no sooner we
		
01:06:49 --> 01:06:59
			hire, often understanding that by and large, listen to his words carefully, and not misunderstand
them. By and large, generally, more or less.
		
01:07:00 --> 01:07:20
			By and large, overall, generally, all these different groups that call themselves Sunnis are also
notice whether someone is Salafi. Someone's Deobandi, someone's a plurality, someone's a Sufi, or a
non Sufi, by and large, overall, generally, on the whole.
		
01:07:21 --> 01:07:32
			If you might get one examples, because remember, as a group, first of all, we shouldn't even decide
overall on a group, we might say, Oh, the old bread was like this.
		
01:07:33 --> 01:07:46
			You know what, on Day of Judgment, every single one of who used to call himself that name will come
to you and before Allah, like, we said, Did you really ask me? Did you look what's in my heart? Did
you speak to me? For these generalizations are very bad.
		
01:07:48 --> 01:08:05
			All of these groups we can call within understandable Jamar. But that is a mean they all agree you
can still be Sunni and disagree with another Sunni because it's not. Category number one of our
guide, it's not category number two of a guide. It might be category three or category four issues.
		
01:08:06 --> 01:08:23
			You can disagree in Aqeedah issues between, you know, a shoddy animal to reduce contrast clear, very
famous SUNY schools, but they disagreed about Aqeedah issues. Forget that before that Sahaba
disagreed. Abdullah Hypno Abbas and Aisha Radi Allahu Allah had major differences about Aqeedah
		
01:08:25 --> 01:08:46
			derived in our buses to say, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam went for Mirage, he saw his
Lord You know, he saw him with his eyes, eyeshadow, the Allahu Allah says, no, no, no, no, no, no
way. I am of the belief. He never saw his lord in Bahraich big difference to people who sat met with
the messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam
		
01:08:47 --> 01:09:28
			they didn't ask him at that time after he passed away. There have been delays issue of Aqeedah when
he went Mirage this He Allah or not both of them or disagree and there's another list of issues that
they both disagreed you know when second one I'm not giving you the list just one more when someone
passes away and when you bury them. Do the dead here the living people are Aisha Radi Allahu and her
her belief was and this malarkey the issue but it was kind of the the issue that the dead disease do
not hear. Like when the buried they can't hear the living people at all. Abdullah Abbas said no, and
he gave his evidences that know when they are dead. The hadith says we're in the Himalayas mobile
		
01:09:28 --> 01:09:59
			caranya Allah him like when you know people bury you under walking. You can hear the footsteps and
the sandals. But there's some other Hadith that Orisha Radi Allahu anha the wife of the messengers
that Allah had any Salam she uses as evidence nobody knows who knows nobody knows when we find out
in Jana all our problems you know what I tell everybody all you brothers, sisters, people fighting
arguing on forums, etc. This group and that group and Allah on the throne are not thrown easy
they're all just calm down to pray official prayer the prayer SR Margaret ratio gives you a chance
to do as a god be a good human being and then inshallah make a list of all disease
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:06
			So you're fighting about in Jannah sit with the messengers of Allah and Islam over a cup of coffee
and shisha and sorted out their shadow and and with this
