salamati Allah, Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Safi mousseline Lavina Maha Muhammad denied he was so happy he had in mind. Welcome to another episode of the gardens of the pious. And I'm sitting in for Sheikh Mohammed Salah May Allah subhanaw taala cure him. And this episode is episode number 597. And chapter number 254 In the book of prohibited actions, and the prohibition of backbiting and the commandment of guarding one's tongue,
and we heard a few Hadith from the beginning of the chapter.
And it made clear to us how dangerous is the stunk and the speech of the human being. And on the other hand, how beautiful and how virtue, a person can reach a very high level, with also his tongue in his speech. It's something that as they say, as if it's a double edged sword, either it kills the person or ruin the person, or take the person to the highest levels of goodness, all of that by one's speech. And that's why you would find in the Sharia, in the deen of Allah in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Isaiah salatu salam, many verses many Hadith that talks about the importance of what we say, with what we say a person enters into the fold of Islam, a person can say words that
he uttered words that can take him outside the fold of Islam or as of Allah, words of words of disbelief. And between Al Islam will cough that our sins, levels of sins, and one of the major gates of sins and disobedience to Allah subhanaw taala, it will a person say and as mentioned before, what's in the heart will definitely has to be exposed one way or the other with one speech. If the heart has filth in it, being attached to other than Allah, having the opposite of the Naziha and the concern towards others having bad expectations of other thinking about others in an evil way. Having envy all kinds of things that diseases in the heart, then that leads for the person to beg bite and
to slender and so on. And that's why when the people have none that's talked about why people beg bite one another and we'll hear Charlo Tyler this episode the definition of a riba or backbiting by the prophets, Allah Salam, there are many reasons why would people backbite one another, or slander one another, one of which is thinking bad about others. This is something that is a disease in the heart, one of which is envy, one of which is a person wants to be superior over others, some people, some individuals on the face of earth, the only way for them to be superior, is by stepping on others, not necessarily physically, but they have to step on someone for them to get are thinking
that this is how to get higher. So to ridicule someone to put down someone because that what's that mean indirectly, that you are better than that person, and the person would feel superior this way. And many times people do not really check and know what's in their hearts. But this is all the seeds of why people will beg bite and this is another subject. But let's get into the Hadith where we stopped at and the definition of a riba not according to what we think but according to the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, the one that as Allah subhanaw taala said on my article and in our in our in our Johan he does not speak from desire, he speak from Revelation its revelation from Allah subhanaw
taala so the Hadith Hadith number 1523 1523 And it says on behalf
of the Allah one, another soul Allah his son Allahu alayhi wa sallam I call a third Aruna Mela, Reba, Corrado Allahu wa rasuluh Allah. Call Vic Rocha haka be my Accra Cleal a federal ita in Kenya if he asked him in a cool Hall in Kenya fee him at the Code Academy tip there were 11 yakun fee he met a hole for the bat.
which roughly means that Ebola Yahtzee Allah Juan said the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Do you know what is backbiting? The companions said Allah and His Messenger know better. Thereupon he said Backbiting is talking about two Muslim brothers in a manner which he dislikes. It was said to him. What if my Muslim brother is as I say, he said, if he is actually as you say, then that is backbiting but if that is not in him,
There is slendering and the hadith is reported by Imam Muslim Rahim Allah. As you see here the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam.
He asked a question and this is one of the ways to learn and one of the ways to teach is to teach with giving a question to the people to the audience to those who are present to the students. And in the context of teaching, it's okay to ask a question knowing that the people do not know the answer to it. Why? Because that brings their attention and their focus. And it's also okay, as the people of knowledge, they say that if the students they would answer, even if they give, they give a wrong answer, it's okay. Why because it's in the context of learning. It's not about asking matter of the religion where we are forbidden to speak about religion without knowledge. You know, if
someone for example, in the classroom, in a session of knowledge, and the shape and the scholar or the teacher, he would ask the people something that matters of religion, for example, to say, what is the ruling with regards to wearing gold and sell gold for men, for example, right? And the people do not know yet. This is the subject of the class, you know, of that day. But he sets the lesson with a question. It's okay for them to give a wrong answer. They're not saying are talking about the religion without knowledge, because they're in the context of learning. So he's examining what what would they think, not for them to be basically talking about the religion without knowledge, but
when the prophets are selling them with as the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu
they always would say, Allahu wa rasuluh Adam, Allah and His Messenger SallAllahu Sallam knows best, even though they would literally understand or know the meaning of a Reba. Reba literally something that is not present someone that is absent, something about something absent and that's basically has its effect on the definition of a Riba. So they probably had an idea of what the prophets or Salam is saying, but the way that they had this edit and this manners, with the Prophet alayhi salatu salam and with matters of the deen in general, they said, Allahu wa rasuluh Allah, that's something to teach us to always say Allah subhanaw taala knows best. That brings the question can a
person say Allahu wa rasuluh Allah mean anything that we are asked about? Can we say Allah and His Messenger SallAllahu sallam, they know better? Not in everything. Why? Because after the Prophet alayhi Salat was sent if someone asked us about matters of unseen
we say Allah Allah, Allah subhanaw taala knows best. If someone asked us about matters of the deen, if we do not have the knowledge of it to say Allahu Allah, Allah subhanaw taala knows best. And this is one of the things that all of us who need to learn to frequently say Allahu Allah, or even to say, Allah Allah, as simple as it is, I do not know. And this is half of the knowledge. As the people of the early generations of Islam, they used to agree upon this principle that half of the knowledge is to say, I do not know the more the person learns, the more the more that he would realize that he does not really know. And that's why the arrogant ones, those who have less
knowledge, the ignorant ones, they will think that they have an answer to every question and the people of knowledge, you will hear from them frequently that they would say, let it rely on them. I do not know ask someone else Allah subhanaw taala knows best, unless a person who has the knowledge of a matter of course he has to convey that. And this is also another subject of the etiquettes of giving a question or answering a question, but it's something that we frequently should say we're living at times when everybody has a say about it, almost everything, whether it's religion, politics, all kinds of things, and you will find people saying what they think what they believe,
what they like, what their desire, and we have to you know, fulfill this edit and this etiquettes and men especially with matters of the religion, to say Allah subhanaw taala knows best I do not know we need to learn to know knowledge comes with learning does not come by default, does not come by feelings by taste, or it sounds good, looks good. These types of things has no consideration to it whatsoever. L or knowledge is to be taught for the person to learn it to be able to speak based on knowledge. So the Sahaba Rotella Nam they said Allah rasool Allah, Allah Subhana Allah and His Messenger SallAllahu Sallam knows best about what is the Riba? What is the definition of Riba? Then
the Prophet SAW Selim giving the definition of it. Vic Rocha haka be my aka Rick, Rick, when you would mention your brother, be my ACARA was what he dislikes. So anything that your brother dislikes, if you say it, that's Riba, if you say it about him, that's Riba.
If we put this definition with the linguistic meaning of arriba does it mean in his absence, this is what many of the people have knowledge they defined arriba
Is that when you mentioned the your brother in his absence with something that he dislikes, but the prophets are seldom when he defined it, he said, The Crooked hawk. That's why some of the people of knowledge, they said the Rebbe is when you mentioned your brother was something that he dislikes, whether he is present, or whether he's absent, right, unless it's between you and that brother, and you're advising him, you're enjoying good, forbidding evil, but in general, you know, in principle, it's when in the absence of that Brother, you will speak about them in a way that he dislikes, this can be in something religiously, can be in something in worldly matters, physical appearance, the
way that he looks, the way that he speaks something that Allah subhanaw taala treated them with whether it says actions, which is a bad action, or something that Allah subhanaw taala created them with being short, being tall, being black, being white being whatever, right, talking about a brother, Muslim brother, or a Muslim sister, for the sisters, with something that they dislike, if they were present, they would not like it, we have to be also external, I mean, extremely careful with this. Why? Because we might think that, you know, might some things he might not dislike it, for example, but you never know. And when people are being nice to one another, sometimes someone
would say something about them or ridicule them in the giving, especially with friends. And people seem to be okay with it, but in reality, they are not. And that's why we have to avoid this whether it's someone that is close to us, someone that is a close friend or so do not ridicule do not say anything, that the shattered works on the people and in the hearts and they might not feel that they dislike it at that moment, but later on with other things that may may lead them to thinking bad about one another and so on. So the Prophet SAW Selim again he said the crooked How can we Michael, anything that your brother dislikes, then this is considered to be riba them that people said
something that almost anybody, almost anybody that you would forbade them from rebut if someone backbite someone in your presence, and you tell them, but you had backed by Ted, this brother or this is not permissible. We should not talk about someone in their absence.
Right away people usually they would mention the statement, which is what they asked the Prophet SAW Selim, they said, a federal aid and Kenneth email. They said to the Prophet SAW Selim, what if the Muslim brother or this brother, he has what I said, I'm not lying about if he actually has what I say what if that Muslim brother is, as I say, because people might think Riba is when you say something about a brother in his absence, you exaggerated or you lied about him said something that is not even in him. This is, of course, is even worse of a sin, as the Prophet SAW, Selim said, but the Riba which is a major sin is just by mentoring him, or her in a way that he dislikes, even if
you are 100%. truthful about, you said that he is short and he is short, or he's tall, and he's tall in a way that he doesn't like it in a way to ridicule him, or matters of his religion. And as we said, Reba is in speech. And in a movement of a hand and the gesture and the gesture in a way that you look in a blink of an eye, you know, something that would imply whether it's directly or indirectly, whether it's implicit or explicit, to the listener of what you're saying that you are basically saying something that that brother would dislike for you to say. So as as mentioned before, someone would say, May Allah subhanaw taala, guide him, right? Or May Allah guide us all, in
a context that a person would understand from it, that he's away from guidance, he needs guidance, that means he did something bad, he did something evil, or someone would roll his eyes when a name of a brother is mentioned, or doing something like you know, with hand gesture, and it's different from one culture to the other, that makes the person the listener or the one that is sitting feels that something wrong with him. So we have to be extremely careful with this. So the crooked haka be my ACARA to mention your brother in something that he dislikes. So when they said, What if he has what I'm saying is present in him? I'm truthful, I'm not lying, I'm not exaggerating. Then the
Prophet SAW Selim, saying it in a statement to make it clear that clarifies all the doubts about what Riba means. He said in Ken Fiammetta call for Claudio tapeta. He said, if if your brother has if he actually is as you say, then that is backbiting you have committed that major sin, you already backbiting him.
But then, but if it if there is not in him, that is slandering, where iliamna confy Mehta cool for the head that you did both 10 elbow 10 slendering is talking about someone lying about someone accusing someone about something that would attack his honor and do
dignity and you'd lying about it, which is far worse than the Riba. And they're both major sins, but one is worse than the other. So once a person talks about someone in a matter that he dislikes, he's either committing riba which is a major sin, or committing Bhutan, which is worse of a major sin. And that's why a person should control his tongue as the previous Hadith and that shows the fifth and the knowledgeable in them in the way, Rahim Allah, He took us from one Hadith to the other, leading us when we are under the chapter of backbiting, leading us before the definition of a riba with a hadith that talks about controlling one's tongue, the importance of the tongue, making sure
that we are watchful of what we say. So that once this hadith about Backbiting is there, it makes it easy for us then to control ourselves. So this is how the Prophet SAW Selim defined riba so as one of the great benefits from this hadith, we would never say if a person by mistake fall into riba we would never say, Well, it's true, I did not lie about him. This is exactly what he has, what the prophets are selling, and made it very clear, if you do that, you still back by to the exceptions. We'll talk about the exceptions and shall not either later, there are some exceptions to this in some situations, and that these situations is to bring benefits and to push away harm. as inevitable
Rahimullah, we'll talk about that. But we need to focus more on showing the honor and the dignity of the Muslim, the Muslim is so honored by Allah subhanaw taala. And then the Day of Judgment, people will, will, you know, basically retaliate against one another, they would be even with one another, because of the honor and dignity of a Muslim in the eyes of Allah subhanaw taala, as the Prophet SAW, Selim, which is the next Hadith shows that great honor of the Muslim, the human being that believed in Allah subhanaw taala. And he says the shahada team, and he is someone that he prays, he is honored by Allah subhanaw taala. So whoever attack that Muslim with his honor and dignity, he had
committed something so evil. And that hadith talks about this man, I believe a legion for the event who will help whoever shows enmity to one of my earlier those who are close to Allah subhanaw taala. And we really don't know, to a great extent, who is really you have Allah subhanaw taala if they're living among us, we only see that outside appearance. So if it's a Muslim, and you're attacking his honor, dignity, maybe that Muslim is in a very high status to Allah subhanaw taala someone that is so righteous, and you lie to them, and that's why the backbiting to the people of knowledge to the Allah, to those who are righteous and so on. This is even far more dangerous than anything else. So
therefore, a person has to be careful because the honor and the dignity of a Muslim to Allah subhanaw taala is something very high, and the prophets are seldom as we will see in the next Hadith, he made it as if it's equal to shedding His blood and stealing his money. So let's go to the next Hadith something that the Prophet SAW Selim said to the people in the Farewell Pilgrimage that means the words in it is very precise, and it's meant for the entire OMA till the day of judgment to keep it and to give its its importance. Hadith number 1524. The hadith says And Abby Bakra Radi Allahu Anhu and nanosuit Allah Hassan Allah Allah you are seldom called a few hot Betty here woman
at the minute. She hit the tilde in the Dominican Welcome Welcome. Welcome. Hello, I'm Ana Alaikum Galderma to me come Heather Fisher Honeycomb, Heather de Bella decom. Heather, Ella Hal Bella out and the hadith is death Hakuna LA, which means that Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu, he said, delivering the sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage on the day of sacrifice at Mina. The messenger SallAllahu sallam said, Verily, your blood, your property and your honor, are as sacred and enviable as the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this month of yours, and in this town of yours, verily, I have conveyed this message to you. And this is more difficult and I agreed upon. That means it's reported
by Al Bukhari and Muslim.
The narrator of this hadith is Abu Bakr with the attack Makuta at the end so that we don't confuse them with Abu Bakr Siddiq, Raji Allah Juan. So Booba, Cara, about the law and he said, the messenger SallAllahu sallam said, if you hold wetty, in his home, in his sermon, Yeoman, In the day of Anatidae, of slaughtering the minute, in minutes, so this is the 10th of the hedger in had dataloader. And the fee will had the last head of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, this famous hotbar this famous sermon that the prophets are seldom gave to the people and at the end, he said to them, that lead those who are present conveyed the message to those who are absent. And Allah
subhanaw taala took the message
of the prophets are seldom from one generation to the other till the Day of Judgment and we get to know what the Prophet SAW Selim said in this whole battle over there. In the Farewell Sermon. One of these narrations in this to this hadith due to this hadith is that the prophets, Allah Salam, as the previous Hadith, he asked him a question. He asked the people, he asked them, Do you know what day is this?
And they know what days they know that this is the 10th of the ledger. But they as the narrator of the Hadith, he said, we thought that maybe the prophets are seldom will give it another name or another date. It's the deen of Allah, Allah subhanaw taala. If he ordered us to change, even the date will change its submission to Allah subhanaw taala. So they said, Allah Subhana Allah, Allah and His Messenger, Salah Salem knows best. And then the prophets of salaam ask them again. Do you know what month is this? And of course they know the month this is the month of the head. And they said, we thought that maybe the Prophet SAW Salem would rename the month of the head. Then he asked
them, Do you know what town that is, which is they are in Mecca. And they thought that maybe the Prophet SAW Selim will change the name of it. So they were ready, and submitting themselves to whatever change comes in whatever answer from the prophets are seldom than the prophets are seldom. He asked them these questions to bring the importance of that day, the day overnight, and the importance of that month, one of the sacred months, and the importance of that town, which is Mecca, that Allah subhanaw taala made it sacred, so that they would understand them and have some reality of what is the sacredness of a Muslim. So the prophets of salaam said in the demand, were unwelcome,
were radical, we need to memorize this because it's easy to remember three things, indeed, your blood, your blood, your blood, well, Mr. Electron and your property. And the oil is more than just the property. And while it's anything that has a value to it, so whether you own a property, because sometimes people might understand from property is a house or something of that nature. But anything that has a value to it, it's under the category of unwelcome your men, whether it's cash money, whether it's gold, silver, whether it's your your pen, your clothing, your food, whatever, anything that has a value, this comes under the category of unwelcome, so your blood, you're unwell, your
properties or your wealth or whatever you have of a value will come. And this is why the hadith is here, which is your honor, and about the comb is the ruler of an errand. And again, this is the word honor really does not explain it in the most perfect way. So when we first look at this, and the Prophet SAW, Selim said that these three things will before we get into the more details of what that means, he said, Are you sought to ascertain that It's haram mon Alaikum. That means it's as sacred or It's haram for you, as as sacred and it's forbidden for you. The same way that this day, the 10th, of the header is haram, certain things are forbidden for you to do, even if it's
permissible as some of the things that the people had, are forbidden from doing like relations with their wives and so on unless they finish with some of the rituals have had and the sacredness of it where the sin is multiplied, and punishment. And as sacred as this month, which is one of the four months of a show home, which is the month of the hedger and as sacred as the city of Mecca, where the sin in it is not the lack of any sin anywhere else. Even if a person thinking if a person with his intentions. And he's thinking of having the intention to commit a sin in Mecca, it's a sinful act, which is not the case outside of Mk. That means the person has to repent to Allah subhanaw
taala even if he's in Mecca, from the things that comes into his mind that makes him he decide, or he wants to commit a sin, because that's a sinful thing because of the sacredness of the city of Mecca. So the prophets are still immediately that more sacred than this, or as sacred as this. So as sacred as this is the blood of a Muslim, is the property of a Muslim is the errand and the honor dignity of the blood of a Muslim is very obvious. That means to shed blood, whether it's killing or wounding a Muslim, so physically attacking a Muslim, this is as sacred, the body of a Muslim is as sacred as the day of the 10th of the hijab as sacred as the month of Haram as sacred as the city of
Mecca. And that's why shedding a blood of a Muslim is of a lesser crime to Allah over over a harder or a higher crime to Allah subhanaw taala than the destruction of the Kaaba, the sacredness of the life of a Muslim, not to kill a Muslim not to wander Muslim. And that's something that can even happen with a half of a word as the
Prophet Salim said it doesn't have to be physically that the person would kill someone physically person might help someone else to do that with the word of mouth that's why we have to be careful on the social media and so on enticing violence enticing evil actions that cause bloodshed a person is responsible for them. We'll talk inshallah Tada with more of what the Hadith said than related to the chapter but after the break, so stay with us and Chun.
Alhamdulillah hamdulillah salatu salam ala Rasulillah Welcome back and we are in the chapter of an riba for forbidden riba prohibited things which is one of which is a riba to backbite and we were talking about the Hadith of the Prophet SAW Selim, in the demand of oil coming out of the camp, that your blood your property, your honor, is haram on you, forbidden on you, the same way as the forbidden and the sacredness of the day of the 10th of that hijab, the month of the hijab and the city of Mecca as explained in the Hadith, even helping, even though we have to make sure that when I just said before, just to make it clear that half a word of that helps a person to shed blood of
other even though this is not an authentic hadith from the prophets, I send them because some people they would think or that were referring to a hadith about those who would help others to kill a Muslim with half a word. They will be resurrected in the day of judgment and written between the two eyes, as from Rahmatullah. He is in disparity from the Mercy of Allah. This is not an authentic hadith on the prophets of salaam but it doesn't belittle the fact that one of the worst of the sins after the shooting of Allah subhanaw taala is killing someone. The first thing is that people will be held accountable for in the day of judgment and the spaciousness in the Muslim life in the
believer as long as he does not shed blood blood or help to do such an evil thing. And then at the other hand, if we have a phone call from Sister Fatima from UAE go ahead and tell them
oh, we lost the phone call.
Sir either from Netherland from the Netherlands go ahead and sama
Salam aleikum Southway we'll get
I have a question.
Can you pay someone to perform a hatch for your deceased parents if you are not able to perform the hajj for them physically not able
okay Children's Home
anything else?
Okay sister 14 was bad go ahead and telephone from UAE
yes go ahead until
isn't
really able to hear what you're saying? Maybe she can go down the TV or something
maybe call us again in some
time going through the I mean, first of all with this question about paying someone money to make headway on someone's behalf
and this is okay. Before we give the answer we have sister Latifah from USA go ahead and jump
from Article
Two our parks
as Buddha law he lives on more
times authentic husband Hola. Hola. I'm sorry can
be a Lola hula hula who
will who will have lifetime Yes.
Okay.
Yes and about the meaning of it.
You're asking what the meaning of this door
I don't know the meaning. I'm saying is the authentic
Okay, insurance. Monica Loafie.
Going back to the question of sister sir either with regards to paying someone had for to make had before someone else's behalf.
In principle if someone make had on someone else's behalf this is valid, of course, whether it's mandatory or even optional hand, but with the condition that that person would make had already made her
John himself for himself first. And as far as, you know, supporting that person with all of the expenses that is needed, this is definitely obvious and they should, they should be supported with that from the beginning to the end. And it's what is best is for them not to ask for, for money from someone as as basically a wage for them to do or to perform the hajj on their behalf. But if they're given out of one's goodwill, this is up to the person, but without having it as a condition, or make it a contract between the two parties. And if he's given money for whatever he is in need for the journey of health and use that for his own self, there is no harm in shallow time. And with regard
to the question from system that differ about husband has been Allah will lead
to horrible I'm sure of him. And this is something to be said seven times in the morning and seven times in the evening. And this is an authentic hadith by the Prophet alayhi salatu salam. So this is authentic, to be said in the morning and in the evening seven times on the verses this says this and the meaning of which of the Hadith that Allah subhanaw taala will give him the strength with regards to matters of worldly matters, he won't care about it too much, meaning that he won't, it won't affect him.
Since the meaning of it is such a beautiful one. We have another phone call.
Now the Mabu from Bangladesh, go ahead and
look at
I have a question, which is if someone comes at the door, ask
if you see somebody who is tall and dark skinned, does this come under the ABA? Okay.
Well, they got so this question about you know, when we talk about the heat, but we'll talk about exceptions in Telangana some other time, but if someone comes knocking on the door, and you don't know that person, right, and you're saying to someone in the house, like your son, for example, saying that someone is knocking on the door and this person is tall and is white or tall and black or whatever there is, this does not fall into the category of riba unless the person is ridiculing the person, you know, but if he's explaining, you're basically you're trying to get to know who that person is. Right? And that's one of the ways or one of the exceptions for making it permissible for
Muslim to talk about someone else with something that he dislikes especially that if it's not well known to him. So in that context is not necessarily Riba and Allah subhanaw taala knows best. We have a phone call.
Sister Fozia from the UK go ahead and tell
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah Wolcott.
Does that Allah fair for helping me in on this program? Rather, my question is that I recently had a big loss of money or a huge loss of money. And this is not getting away from my mind, I keep thinking, I just do a lot of zikr of Allah subhanaw taala, when I pray, is just specially in my prayers just coming in my mind that I wish I could have done that I wish I could have done this. And this loss is not going away from my mind, because this was I think, my huge saving. So I don't know what to do if you just tell me about it, because especially in Salah, I'm losing the concentration. I'm trying to do Xikar but my heart is not there. And I'm just so much upset about it. Could you
please let me know what to do in the situation? Insurance.
With this, Hala was the subject of losing money. And Allah subhanaw taala mentioned that in the Quran, the way to overcome these negative feelings, and how it's affecting is the she mentioned her Salah and things like this, to know that everything is from Allah, it's with one strand of iman. And as a matter of fact, as a matter of belief that everything is written 50,000 years before our creation. So this is something that Allah subhanaw taala decreed for you to observe or to witness and Allah subhanaw taala only decree what is beautiful. So as far as the decree of Allah, not the individuals that might be individuals that did bad, but the decree of Allah the clutter of Allah is
always beautiful, to fulfill the purpose of our life, because the purpose of our life is to worship Allah. We don't choose, in some cases, how to worship Allah, some people, they worship Allah with being grateful, some people they Allah subhanaw taala wants from them, to worship Him with patience, with being pleased with the color of Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala is testing you, whether you would be pleased with the color of Allah, whether you are patient with the color of Allah, and it doesn't make you to add or say things that are not permissible, one of which is as the Prophet SAW, Selim said, and he made it very clear to us that you should seek help from Allah subhanaw taala and
take the means and so on. We
which is, you know, if something happens that you don't like the prophet or seller made it very clear to us fella Taku Lo and Nephi and together they can occur they were like in Kolkata Allahumma Scheffer, that if something happens that you don't like after you took the means and you rely upon on this panel died and he sought help from Allah, then something that you don't like happened, do not say if do not see if I have done this, it would have been this and this as mentioned in the question, and that's where therefore this is from shaitan whispering it was never meant to be anything else. But what exactly happened? So this is the quarter of Allah. So then but you know,
rather as the Prophet SAW Selim said, say a quarter Allah, Masha, say this is what Allah decreed, and Allah subhanaw taala willed happened, and keep on saying that and reading Quran and be busy with the victory in sha Allah, Allah subhanaw taala one of the great favorites of another three forget with time insalata Allah these things will go away and with the strength of your Eman inshallah Allah will you put it in the right perspective, may Allah subhanaw taala reward you for that and give you patience and being pleased with Allah subhanaw taala we have another phone call
the Idris from Pakistan, go ahead and join
us family Kamara Hello.
How
are you?
Today I had one only one question, sir. There is a person I know that has some some sort of deal with some kind of bank that they had agreed to some amount to belong to them, for example, $100,000. And at the end of the transaction, while the loan is being paid, they're supposed to be paying the bank back around about
one 120 $100,000 Like 20 $20,000? Is the fee or whatever they name it. Is it illegible for a person to get that sort of loan? Or not? Can you please clarify this issue for me? Thank you, George, I'm
taking a loan from the bank. And when we deal with banks, banks or institutions for lending money, and borrowing money, they're not in the business of investing money. And this is in the Constitution and the laws of almost all the countries in the world. There might be some rare exceptions. But in general, this is what the banks are for. They take money from the people when they put money in the bank, and they lend it to others. And this is how the banks they take money. And the transaction between two parties, the bank and an individual, the individual is taking money from the bank. And with the condition that you would pay 20,000 They can call it fees. They can call it whatever they
call it. They can call it beautiful things, whatever there is, but the transaction is lending money. So they lend in principle in the deen of Islam, it is not permissible to have a benefit from lending money or borrowing money otherwise, it becomes riba could look out just fine, fine wherever as the Prophet SAW Selim said every loan that brings benefit is Riba is usury. And the usury we know how Allah subhanaw taala mentioned it in the Quran, war from Allah and His Messenger Sunday Salam upon those who deal with riba and usury. So this is a transaction that is very clear from what the words of the brother, brother Idris, that this is River, this is a rebel transaction, this is usury
transaction that is haram. And the person should stay away from that.
Going back to the Hadith of the Prophet or salah, whatever what he said in the Farewell Pilgrimage, and mentioning the three things, your blood, your wealth, your property, and welcome, haram. That means the wealth of a Muslim brother is forbidden for you whether it's stealing, whether it's deceiving him cheating in buying and selling, taking money without the right to do so.
This is something that is haram and sacred not to transgress these limits and abuse one another by taking their wealth without the right to do so. People might have all kinds of ways to justify it for themselves. But it's not permissible to take the wealth of others whatsoever, as the Prophet SAW Selim said, and why this hadith in this chapter is because of the third one, we're about to come out of the commons, Your Honor, indignity is is basically your self your being. So since the physical being is mentioned, which is your blood, since your property, which is your wealth is mentioned. So whatever is left is what because human beings are not just physical beings, but there's something
beyond that, which is basically your honor and dignity. And that comes under this category of things, the backbiting. So attack
can be a Muslim with Backbiting is like as if you are wanting that person as if you are causing physical harm to that Muslim would whatever level of, of attacking the honor and dignity of a Muslim. And as the prophets are selling, as mentioned in some of the Hadith, that cursing a Muslim is as if you're killing that Muslim, you're basically saying that he's kicked out at the mercy of Allah. And it just words of mouth. So the harm that happens from words of mouth, sometimes is as evil as attacking someone physically. So the Arada come, your honor and dignity, whether it's ridiculing whether it's making fun of whether it's backbiting, slandering,
lying, whatever things that attack a Muslim in his honor and dignity that comes under this category, and you see how important and how dangerous it is to protect the honor and the dignity of a Muslim. The prophets are silent, did not say that he has to be a certain level of an Imam, that Muslim, that he has to be someone that is strong in his Eman or a specific group of Muslims. These are the only ones that you protect the honor and dignity and the blood and so on. It's Muslim, and welcome the man and welcome aboard welcome. The prophets of Salaam is addressing the sahaba. And since he said to them, that those who are present informed those who are absent, that means it's the entire ummah
of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam. So when a person hears this and knows that there is consequences to one's action and the Day of Judgment, people would never let go with injustices with matters of physical harm or matters with properties and, and with the honor and dignity and of course, one of which isn't the subject of this chapter with methods of riba how many times a person backbite at someone, this is one of the problems that we need to fix and purify ourselves. When we look at our actions. Some people they might overlook what they said throughout the past, and we forget what we say before, right, but they only think about certain things or major sins. One of the major sins
that slips away without a person feeling it is an Riba is backbiting. So a person guarding himself making salah, make a night prayer, struggling with oneself to make halogen Amara, and to fast and doing all kinds of good deeds, but he's not guarding his tongue. So he's ruining himself with the backbiting and and ruining this rewards. And people will take it away from them in the day of judgment as some of the Hadith of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, so to pay attention to this, because as the prophets are seldom, he mentioned, it's something that we have to, to guard. And it's so it shows again, the importance or the how Allah subhanaw taala he gave this importance to the
believers, the believers are the good thing in this life. What is the goodness in this life, if there were nobody believers on it, you know, that the Day of Judgment will occur, when there is no believer in the face of earth, when all of them will die on this planet, it will take the souls away and then the Day of Judgment will occur on the worst of the people when the name of Allah is not mentioned. So as long as they say that those who are keeping the earth intact, the fact that the presence of the believers on it, we have a phone call
sister Fatima from USC, go ahead and chama as wow.
Oh, an accident? In questions. What about if someone did something to you, like you said your complaint or another person saying he did this to me? Or she did this to me? Or like you informing somebody like this person? Oh, this person is sick. You know, like if you really talk about that person, but also for the category of
backbiting. Sure.
What's the second question?
This is also one of the exceptions that we didn't talk about it yet. And some of the people have knowledge they say when you talk about something forbidden. Don't talk about the exceptions first. Why? Because oftentimes, we might kind of seek excuses for ourselves, and we fall into the exceptions, and we ignore the bulk of the metal here. But as the system mentioned, if someone is complaining about someone else, if it's a valid complaint, and there's a benefit in complaining to someone else, sometimes you just wanted to get it off your chest by talking to someone about that how that person did to you. But there's no benefit in saying this. Then a person should control
himself. But if you're complaining to a judge, for example, someone that took your money, someone harmed you and you want your rights and you go to the to the system to the judge, and you definitely would have to say about that person, what he dislikes, too, so this is permissible as well.
novaculite will talk about that as an exception, or you're asking a person of knowledge about, for example, that individual did that to me or my father did that to me or something of that nature, and it's something that he would dislike. They say it's better that if it's a matter of question, then that don't mention the name or say if someone, his father did that to him, What should he do? But if something that has to be done, there is no harm. And the same thing with talking about someone and mentioning some of the things that he would dislike to hear. If there's a benefit in it or pushing away harm, then this is okay as warning someone from someone else warning people from a deviant.
Warning your son, for example, from being friends with that individual because he can lead you astray. This is mandatory to be done and it's not backbiting it's not in the category of backbiting and that's why warning against the deviant ones, those who distort the deen to the people it's becomes mandatory for the people of knowledge to warn against those who are deviant according to the benefits and the loss in the method. So again, the subject of the exceptions will talk or will be dealt inshallah to Allah in this program, hopefully inshallah Allah when the ship comes back by the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. But, as far as we heard with Hadith of the Prophet SAW Selim, and the
importance to guard our tongue, and before we speak, we should think and before we speak about others, we should be warned that this can lead us these are pits in of the Hellfire. So we have to be careful so that we don't attack the honor and dignity of a Muslim. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to accept from all of us are Cembalo selama varkala Mohammedan What else have you seldom are Sara Murray Kumar Matoba here
