salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
Do you all praise Allah was praising him would begin by praising Him and He alone is worthy of all praise. Indeed, we ask for his forgiveness guidance, a little backdoor to Allah. Allah accepts our efforts in learning and in action in learning and understanding and putting into action. And may Allah help us forgive us guidance always stuck in that last word Allah, cleanse our hearts, and make our intentions clearly for his pleasure alone, and remove any
showing off to others. And then lasala people away from the whispers of shame on us humility, and increases in love of Him glory to Him. And he's final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
And as you know, these sessions of physical Syrah, as I reminded ourselves many times is not just storytelling, but it is primarily as we looked right at the beginning, why are we doing this? Because to increase our love for us,
it makes it appreciate who he was, and actually who he is, and we will be in your meat on your retirement, isn't it so? And also to learn
lessons from some of those, many of those stories and instances in his lightning biography which are corroborated and being truthful, at least, that we learn lessons from that.
So May Allah smart Allah give us a topic to do that, and increase as any amount for that as well? Through the love of Ali's messenger, the llama, and
I have to say something before continuing with the topic.
I don't know in the news today, I listened to the radio two or three occasions briefly, I don't listen to it. But I try and avoid the means actually, there's so
much nonsense on the news.
Maybe I'm becoming in some sort of ancient relic, actually, some kind of feeling I don't belong here. I think.
I think actually, sometimes you feel like you don't even belong in the Muslim community, we can actually, do we really realize what the Muslim community is like?
You know, if we come to a mosque regularly, we're learning about our Deen. And our friends are those who try to be practicing Muslims. I think really, we're in a bit of a bubble.
Because I'll tell you the truth is majority of Muslims do not follow Islam.
You know that.
And that's not recent, has been for decades and decades in Muslim countries.
Majority hated the most. Well as of No, that's why I call them in India, Pakistan movies. And in something we're also visa normally. Why is it because it looked down on religion. And people make the opposite.
And this the same
is the case as well. And it's not put a negative thing on it, but also for us to
increase our understanding and share the beauty of Islam perhaps, we give them all the traps they understand, and they still inject the ignorance of the real message of Islam. And of course, shaytan plays his part in grabbing people we forget shaitan plays a big part.
In inducing people towards Sha one desire and fun and laughter which all the society is about godless society. That's what it's all about.
And as long as people are doing that the society and the system is very happy with those kinds of people. And those weirdos like me, who talk about gender and are actually they counted as somebody who's praying five times a day. Oh, he talks about that, oh, we read the Quran daily. Must be an extremist. Isn't that the kind of tone you get from media now? Or actually from some, some actually not some many bootlicking Muslims as well as the majority just go along with the flow and you see
If you think that's not the case, now, it is actually but if you think it's not then just go to a university and see what majority the Muslim, youth, male and female are doing in their social life.
If majority not drinking, and having girlfriends and boyfriends, yeah, then come back and tell me because I don't think that I think that is the case. It wasn't far from the case, actually, when I was at university. Yeah, as I said, I'm a prehistoric monster, or something prehistoric monster in some people's eyes. But if that was the case, and I had, you know, those kind of feelings about it, then I know for my children, what the situation is, now I'm even more so.
down that so that's the reality is like that.
Anyhow, what I wanted to say in amongst all that, I can't help mentioned that it's therefore it's not surprising, the evil that's going on in Aleppo.
And we knew it was going to come
when the evils and that all as bad as each other is not the Americans have got a glowing history of, you know, human rights. And when they went in, they didn't do what the Russians are doing now and the Assad regime.
Same the Germans and nobody, nobody stepped in for the Holocaust because of political reasons. Again, now nobody wants to step in at least now it's getting out more than it was doing in the past. But there's a there's a butchery, * and pillage is going on. In today's world. You know, we had all these so called civilized went out and they have never gonna let it happen again, under our watch. Don't talk. Don't talk with a folk song.
The red Indian terminology. Yes, isn't it for the Americans, a white man speaks with foreign tongue. Don't speak with a forked tongue because it wasn't long ago. Forget the Holocaust. Don't forget here. Of course, it's something to remind us. But Bosnians, what happened to them, you and people were actually standing there watching them being butchered and raped and killed and believed and registered that watching.
For those you remember, I remember it.
And they showed the hypocrisy, then the politicians as they showing it now.
Of course, things are complicated. And we realize that but the reality Look how evil
evil people can become,
can become.
And this is godlessness, even if he goes shouting a lot of work, but it is godlessness. Yeah. So I say it for the government regimes, all those butchers who go around whether they use the word God, or no God,
this is kind of butchered. May Allah give relief to those who are being persecuted in the hands of the persecutors, we can only make the law we are helpless. And this
is important brothers and sisters is no Melissa give them give them relief, if not in this world give them Shahada for the Hereafter, which is everlasting. Yeah, and enter them into gardens underneath which rivers flow, mela satola will leave the volley moon, the wrongdoers and the perpetrator the tyrants
in the hands of Allah.
Before him, they have no power. So we leave it to him to Allah to decide what he's going to do with us. And he is the online and the master.
After mentioning that,
I couldn't we just ignore it.
Coming back to the story where we were if you remember in this, you know that we got to the stage after mentioning the hatred about the Warhol Maha, which is the Brotherhood established between the unsolvable hygiene that we talked about the building of the mosque, and we talked about a sort of last night for where he stayed about then we talked about Sabu sofa Yeah, the people of the shelter the shelter accommodation people. And we talked about last time also about the Treaty of the Constitution as safe as it was known in the last tour, which was established to ciphers, which were brought together as one
by a sock without a senator chain. Some people rejected the whole thing, but we said there were plenty of authentic I have been referring to elements of this
constitution, all rights and duties of the citizens. And there were rights and duties charter drawn between the Prophet size and the believers and the you hold the three types of birth Yoda was there and a constitutional rights and duties for the Muslims. This was a city being set of life that we mentioned some of
things now.
It's important here to talk a little bit about society and especially when you look at this charter
of disbelieving and moshtix for that in the city as well by the way, the not all Muslims on this chart withdrawn
they became citizens of Medina don't have this idea although plenty were Muslims, the whole of Medina when the charter is being drawn up between the Muslims under asuma saw some leadership, the whole of Medina is not Muslim there's much less till later on, they become and of course is one affix monarchic appeared as Muslims You see, so but that category which were very dangerous, but of course Yoda there as well.
And in the charter agreement, know that you find that they have to embrace Islam to remain in Medina, otherwise they're going to be chopped up. That's very important to remember, not just chucked out, otherwise they're going to be killed.
The charter is citizenship. In fact, we said last time, that they will give them full freedom, full freedom to practice their religion, according to their Telemundo Torah, in their social affairs of family, etc. Yeah, crimes, etc, between them. They were, but the state required allegiance to the state, of course, in defense of the state, no betrayal, because you can't have citizens who actually go out and portray the city that they call their city. Yeah, it's high treason, isn't it? So there were elements of that in the constitution are very clear what you'd expect for a city
or a city or a country? Yeah. So they those things were there.
And why do I say that because we need to understand here.
The issue of allegiance, which has been formed by and confused, many Muslims are presently and I mentioned that before as well, the whole issue of taking Alia, Alia, from the hood and the sorrow
because Allah mentioned in the Quran, this and when he mentioned that, therefore, many scholars, and some great scholars, and I've mentioned some of the Saudi scholars in the past, I believe out of context use those ideas to apply to people like us living in this country.
Number one, they misinterpreted the word Olia to mean friend.
Yep. Same to believers, you can't have Christian and Jesus friends. So that's the first mistake of translating only into and you'll find that in translations of the Quran. They use the word friend, but it doesn't mean that. And I mentioned this before, as well, as secondly, to put it out of context. Because if you look at all of them, whether it's talking about taking Olia from animal keytab, listed on your hood, or from mushrikeen, the context is very important around the area. And he's talking always, almost always about trafficking. And he's talking in a sense of those who are betraying and, and on the side of those who are at war with you. So they are betraying you. And of
course, then you when you have that scenario, a wars taking place. And some of your citizens who are from Yahoo, the nesara, Jews and Christians, or Muslims, and they are citizens. Yeah. Or you are making alliances with those who are the enemy of the state.
That's not going to be accepted, is it? So it's in that context of the game. So don't shift that context. Now, say, in Britain, when a young man or young woman says, I might like to have Christians as friends and Jews in the school, that's if you can even call them Christians and Jews nowadays. That's the look. That's another scenario, isn't it? Yeah.
And then to send a blanket ruling, or the crown says, Oh, you who believe don't take your Christians and Jews as friends and Seneca?
these are these are documented questions and answers I've seen and read from decades ago, from famous scholars from Saudi who gave the answer like that.
It's terrible, totally out of context. But it also we give them I give them another because they have no idea what it is to live in Britain. They're living in Saudi Arabia, which itself is in this little cocoon. Yeah. But the best way for them would be actually say ask the scholars who live near here in your area, their best to ask those because they understand the situation that you live in.
So it's interesting that as they did with disbelievers
and I don't say some actually many, but the sun took it to an extreme. They took the
Yeah, for example, to do with disbelievers in general, in sort of October. So October was one of the last sutras to be revealed. Not the last but one of the last
revealed a year and a half or so or a bit more than that, when around the time of Abu Bakr Siddiq, not the one who did the Hajj who did the Hajj before the prophet SAW some did the Hajj and in that year, October was revealed in here they use this verse they call it as too safe I mentioned it to you before the idea of the soul. Because what is it says, verse number five, Allah says, For event self assurance
mushrikeen at highest to wager to moonwalk. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, KU cool. And now solder in
Serbia, in
any game, okay.
In the Quran is saying, and when the second months have gone past,
then kill those who are mushriks.
using it as a general statement, kill the mushriks. Wherever you may find them, seize them and besieged them align wait for them.
Yeah, like wait for them. But if they repent an established prayer and pays a car was it become Muslims obviously, of course, leave them alone. Of course, leave them alone.
So they took this ayah on this side, in this interpretation for the extreme groups, and they still apply ISIS and now they say we have to kill all moshtix and Phyto mushriks and all this believers. So we need to wage war on India, and all disbelievers and for Al Kitab to have another I am going to come to in a minute, but I wanted to mention this one for you. And if you look at it, just like that, it is saying isn't it? What's it saying? It is center? So if you have no because don't declare yourself to be an expert of the Koran or claim that by a translation many reading and translation so yeah, saying that, I can't be right. So the orientalist obviously loved to play on this. And the
earth is will not look at context and look, look, look at the situation. Of course Quran talks about war and peaceful times as a context to it. And all of our crowd understand that Morpher cirano do that have seen if they have any caliber officers are not the same, all and are not the same. They understand the context. This context is a context of war. And this context is not almost shrieking, because after this verse was revealed, we have no evidence that the prophet SAW someone said to Sahaba in year nine
and year nine or so of Hydra now go on a track as a senior because these Christians are gonna attack him him this mushriks there and attack all the countries all around, he never did
this to do that, you'd have to follow that. Notice also, which many people miss is at the beginning of the surah right at the beginning of the surah Allah subhanaw taala starts by saying this is Suna Bara,
bara tominaga nuwara Sunni Lavina has to
mean al mo shrieky. So important, this puts a context to the whole of the surah. And you miss this, you miss a lot, a lot smarter saying there's a declaration of disavow meaning the treaty is being cancelled between who
between those between Allah and His Messenger those who are more strict with with you with whom you had a contract.
Not all Muslim is talking about the mushriks of Mecca.
The prophet SAW some made the Treaty of who they are with them, which we'll come to later. Yes, and this is an announcement of that treaty for those mushriks in Mecca who had caused trouble despite the treaty they attacked believers and broke the treaty. So Allah saying for those Maastricht the contract is no longer and for tomeka took place. So Allah saying these troubled causes who are still fighting you killed them wherever you find them. Now understand why and number five, it has a different context. For those who are fighting war with you, even though they're supposed to have a treat.
Yeah, they're not only warmongers. They are breaking a treaty that betrayers. So for them those mushrikeen. Yeah, kill them wherever you find them, besieged them finish them, because that's the case they they're a war with you, not the general application for all Muslims from that time till this day. Yeah. To come. That's the first part of it. So differences of if, when taken out of context when they're talking about that time these I am talking about moshtix. Our particular time there was specifically at the time of a civil last last summer, because that treaty is that treaty of what ABA is talking about. Yeah.
Then the other Ayah which I mentioned the US
is number 29. In October as well. Unless Marco says
Audino La Nina, you know Nabila he will abilio mele PD wala johari Muna Rama la wa Sulu
Well, I again una de nL hakima la Vina Muto, kita
GC
GC eta
soggy,
saying artillerymen so fight those who don't believe in Allah and the Last Day and don't make haram what Allah His Messenger made Haram. While I agree, no not been a haka, and those who
who do not follow the true religion, Dino Huck Mennella, Vina Oh tokita from amongst those who have been given the book. So who's talking about
Christians and Jews notice something else. There's a word little word in there, often missed by people it says Mindell.
From this main means from some of them from amongst them, not all of them
minella de novo tokita. That mean it's very important from those who have been given the book you who then the Massara had to jizya until they pay the jizya
out of their hand, and they are those who are subdued, of course, this area,
five doors and gives itself the indications from those who are using Christians now all of them after this ayah coming down and the prophet SAW Islam did not send an army of Sahaba to go and fight the Abyss Indians. Now joshy we have no evidence that he did that. Not everybody sent an army military to the Christians have not drawn
our Christian community Christian Jews that they had a peace treaty with rural Africa. They were told to force to become believers or pages yet and evidence that Christians have ever prayed GCM.
However, these area were more to do with the people of tabuk who threaten the boundaries of
the law from the Christians of the Byzantine Empire and promote also Christian kingdom, which we'll come to later in the story. So the context are those who are a war with you again,
they're a war with you, once they're at war with you and you have to fight then fight until they submit. Yeah, and two ways of submission.
Two ways of submission, they become believers or they say we submit will not fight anymore. Yeah. So they have to pay the jizya they have to keep the peace.
You see, so the context that but there are those who took this ayah and the previous IR said it is man. So
it is man. So, your mansukh means abrogated. It is so when I studied NASA Cadman Su and it's a very specialist area for in aluminum Quran, a nasty human suit in the Quran. There are quite a few scholars not, but not not the ones who are well rehearsed and great scholars, but there are others who came with this idea
of making so much abrogation in the Quran.
And I was horrified. And one of the books of nasima Suba is a above the line and it hasn't, it is not the even it hasn't. By the way.
The famous if there has not been Roddy scuba, another in the hasm who wrote a book and it's very confusing some people I thought initially it was in hazard but it isn't.
This isn't Hassam writes a book called nasty woman suit which
I will follow Jill
yBnL Josie, another great scholar who wrote NASA so criticizes because in here he mates dozens and dozens no over 100 Plus is of the crown he made them abrogated. And you know what, Coronavirus abrogated
everywhere you know where it says so turn away from them and leave them alone, meaning the disbelievers or the Christians and Jews if they're not listening to you, where it says have suburb where it says Be gentle with them, where it says do that. What are the real a civilian of bakeable hikmah invite on to your Lord with wisdom and Ekman good. Yeah. He says abrogated, abrogated, abrogated, abrogated where he says, Yeah, where it says now the bill anywhere where I say hang supper with other with enemies with those who disbelieve when they cause you on an individual level. harm. Yeah returned bad with good. Yeah. What does he say? abrogated? abrogate so by time is
finished, actually there's no sub. There's no forgiveness, there's no mercy. There's no good behavior with anybody except killing them.
Can you believe that? He's not the only one by the way. You'll be horrified what you read in history in classic books, and it's in the classic books and you see where they get it from them.
And once you say it's abrogated by I have to save the eye of the sword.
So as all other Alomar said, including my teacher, he said and they said they said they took this idea of the sword and they cut out most of the Quran with the eye of the sword
of good analogies and they want to use the other Allah who countered them. So this is ridiculous. You finish most of the Quran away amid irrelevant and I found it to be disgraceful. They even abrogated law aka her fifth Dean, which is a fundamental principle isn't Islam. There is no compulsion in religion. Do you believe that they say that's also abrogated. So what's left to Islam Just tell me you have no choice the human race but to submit to Islam, otherwise, we're gonna kill you. Who gave that image? We say oriental escaped, it means no brothers. We'll say these are our scholars who said this, some of our souls and their scholars.
They are scholars. But totally Optima. I totally disagree and reject. This is Bartel, this is not acceptable difference of opinion. This is false opinion. A grant doesn't give that they have no right to abrogate that for NASA Komatsu for the very important field. And then our principles on which you can only do abrogation and abrogation, the best principles by the great Allah was that there has to come from authentic Hadith of the Prophet SAW solemn, saying that there is abrogation here, not from your mind.
And this is all from the mind. Or this is a project that's abrogated. I can see anything's abrogated. Yeah, if I don't like the look of a car that doesn't fit with my opinion abrogated who said is abrogated. It's a big thing to say the chronic is abrogated, isn't it brothers and sisters is a big thing. You're gonna be held really seriously responsible.
Reality is inositol masuk exists with about three or four
bastiani examples in relative amongst those who are deeply learned in this issue.
So with that background,
when I say to you, you look at this
Surah Al mega verse 51 Allah subhanaw taala says
yeah, Xena whoo
whoo that one nesara only
bottle boom only bomb yet I will
confess in a woman whom in Allahu Allah, coma ball II mean.
Allah Allah says, Are you believe do not take take as your allies, not as your friends very important you remember this Alia and Wally is not like a friend that we understand. Even though they say well he alleged friend of Allah No, it is much more than that is much more than that. And in this context, his allies don't take them as I like them.
allies help each other. This has a context again, it's not just general and you'll see who are the people who take allies because it's in a war situation or people who complete mockery. Make mockery OC anyway. They are allies of each other.
That doesn't mean they're all the same either as you'll see as well later.
And among you are among you, He who takes them for ally shall be regarded as one of them. Allah does not guide the wrongdoers a warning
letter a few is later This is where I have 51 I have 57 tells you further.
Left Yeah, you have levena Manjula, taheebo levina, taka dudina coup
de Nam kita mukava Likud well Kufa owlie
telling you one of the reasons why not to take them as allies, who are much smarter says unbelievers do not take for your allies, those who make mockery.
They make mockery of you. And
joke, joke around about you.
Who's one
of your face? Yeah, so somebody's making mockery of your face. Are you going to take them as allies,
saltwater saying those who kind of
don't take them as allies from the people of the book. And from those who disbelieve So, both groups are included there. Yeah. Fear Allah or be aware of alarm, if you really believe. So, these area
also show you
and the IRA which I mentioned to you before, about not taking them as early as I showed you who took them as earlier as as, as
as allies, because the next is a veteran Latina t kulu, being hemara goon usare owner p him, a co owner,
and co cebuana euro for our solo, pa bill factory. I'm remainer in the BIOS be hawala as a roofie. For seeing him the mean, indeed you see those afflicted with the disease in their hearts?
Who was it?
epocrates indeed, you see those who are afflicted with the disease and their heart racing towards them saying, We fear less some misfortune overtakes us. So they're trying to hypocrites, we're trying to side in the war with who the enemy because they didn't want the believers to win. They wanted the believers to lose. They used to be in anguish every time But what happened? They were in anguish when the believers used to win in the war. They were head full of hatred. So they were siding with them hoping that they'll get the upper hand away with you. Yeah, so Allah describe look at the situation.
And in that context of us not saying these graphics are going for Alliance, la you would be
graphic like that in the in the sense because you don't really want the believers to win in a war situation here against Iran not
similar to the ayah in Surah Nisa, Allah when he says in levena Manuel to Mecca
Mecca Pharaoh soon as the blue from Jaco Nila Julio
while Alia dia home sebelah Bashir Muna Filipina vn Allah
Allah Dena Taki donelle kaffee Rena Ali amin Guney meaning Allah smarter saying here those who in the law cinammon they believe then the disbelief that they believe then the disbelief would you say the playing games so when they came to believe is all yeah we're believers evening comes with it the disbelievers we don't believe idiots
we're not really with them with you. Yeah, so
that's game playing, playing hypocrites. Yeah, so Allah says so much data for the increase in Cofer here. Then I increased in coverton Masako from La mia Cooney, La Jolla fear alone, they will never have forgiveness for them. While Alia do sybilla they will know we have guidance for them. You have course because how can you have guidance when you're rotten inside. You don't want the guidance. Not allowed.
wishing them they're punishing themselves because they're not true and honest.
Then Allah says after that brushy real Mona Tina, so give glad tidings to the Mona Hakim. This is like the glad tidings of * basically, Bashir Mona Filipina bn Allahu Allah Subhan. Allah for them is a painful punishment. Who are they? Levine is puffies own el Kheir fee Rena Ali, those who took as in allegiance, disbelievers notice who said talking about not as making friends in workplace in school and things here is it those who took disbelievers as in allegiance, men do kneel move, meaning instead of believers, in other words was happening, hatreds happening and much is happening, and they're siding with the enemy, instead of the Muslims, Mindanao, momineen, you have a double
line de la Karazhan. You see how the issue becomes more clear, when you put the context and the reasoning behind what's actually being said here? What's actually being said here.
And, you know,
this issue of friendship, and I'll come to this issue of trust as well.
It's such a big issue, you will be shocked how many Muslims in this country as well actually believe that you can't really have friends from Christians and Jews and
and and of course, when I talk about friendship, don't think I'm a from the other side of the equation that I come and say, anything goes friends, willy nilly going to discos and dancing? No, no, no, I tell the young people myself, be aware of your company. Yes, because we have a hadith from the prophet SAW some to do with friendship, not with these.
To Do With friendship, the profits are slow. Remember, he talked about the one who keeps a companionship of a person who's selling musk? Yeah, compared to the companionship of one who's a blacksmith, then the musk will affect you. Yeah, because of being in this company. And if you're in the company of the blacksmith, you're smaller sucked.
So the professor said, Be careful of the company that you keep. Yeah. And also Salah Sam said that you will be raised up, you'll be amongst those you love. So if I love to be surrounded by drug takers, boozers and disco goers, then those that's the company I'll be raised in. Is that right? So those evidences helped me decide what sort of friendship I keep that not desire.
That's telling me that, nevertheless, those are hobbies, don't tell me not to do that. And have acquaintances and speak to and have sports and do legitimate things with people. Because in the end, we're supposed to show good to Arizona. If we were supposed to just hide ourselves in a mock
interview with somebody who swears or lies your way that we are just as you sit in the mosque. Nobody said that Islam came to share the message didn't know. Yeah. So with all that
reminder as well, for young and old people about friendship, we nevertheless the idea is Dharma but the the idea many imams have, you'd be astonished this idea of
a being not friends. It's prevalent from those who've done 10 years 15 years study in their rooms and abroad etc. You'll be shocked at what kind of ideas they have about this.
And actually, about 100 are not a moms I know from my colleague and brother after sharp some of you know him. He's one of the second famous student of chef of the larger day for the last 20 years, we've been his students.
He's in charge of DC memes.
And tell you an interview recently, he was recruiting imams. So young young, a mom comes a mom in inverted commas. You know, for me, I've said to you many years, there's the moms and there's the moms, the scholars and the scholars.
So now I'm in public Of course, they're generally find it difficult to differentiate between but we were, they were, it's not because we're human beings in the end. So there's different calibers in this. So this person comes to the interview. And one of the questions asked by Xiaomi in the panel where there's non Muslim governor Muslim who are recruiting so there's non Muslims two or three on the panel, big senior people in the in the recruitment for a month so prisoner recruiting, they're gonna be dealing with twisted prisoners who are Muslims to guide them to St. Thomas a question one of them, he says
Imagine I'm a prisoner.
And I come to you and I say,
you don't walk.
Hussein's in prison, he's in another cell.
And he's always goes on about. He's sharing the cell with john, who's a non Muslim. And he's very nice with him and deals with him well, and they have a good relationship. But you know, a mom the other day he said, You know, my friend john, you know, my friend, john, Mom, he said, my friend, I stopped for a lot. He said, my friend, john, you know, he said him, he won't listen to me. But you know, it's haram to have
Christians and Jews and disagree with his friends. The Quran tells us your mom, will you tell him that this is wrong? Yeah, cuz I can't tell him he won't listen to me.
Like the Sham is given a scenario and asking the mom what are you going to? Do?
You know what this is after eight years study, you know, becoming a new mom. Sure. Yes.
So he goes, I'll say to him,
it's fine.
People do whatever they do just leave people be.
So it's time to get out of answering the question.
So you started just Just tell him to leave him be so shall god no, he's gonna say to you know, how can you say leave him be? This is haram brother, Imam sub if your family member was going out drinking alcohol. Yeah, and doing wrong. You wouldn't say to him is so right. Leaving the What do you it's Haram. So how you gonna say leaving me? For now? He says. Yeah. So I said to him, yeah. Well, there's two types of friendship. There's a halau friendship and a haram friendship. So he's digging his hole is really lost. So actually, Sam said so can you explain to me what is the difference between a halaal friendship and a haram friendship?
He goes,
What do you say he says?
Well,
haraam friendship is that you're willing to lay your lay down your life for a person that's around friendship, otherwise allow friendship?
Just that was his answer.
So he still stuck with the idea. He didn't clarify this earlier business from the Quran.
didn't mention anything about Dawa and the factory. The friendship and acquaintance was fine. There was nothing wrong with it. He went into a new era of haram haram and halaal friendship, which has no basis in Islam. No scholar ever talked about her Allah friendship on the basis he was decided. So this is the kind of person who came with these kind of ideas. And I'll tell you, the Imams majority of them, and they've changed over the last five years of deep study in work from Africa, my colleague with their views, but the Christians and the Jews, and oh, they're working with, they used to say these people, we say Salaam to them, they never reply to us.
They avoided
and when we when talking to those moms, they said yeah, yeah, we we try and be civil with them. We don't trust.
We don't trust them. Because you're not allowed to trust Christian.
You're allowed to trust. So this whole issue of trust, and the issue of salon double trust, you're not allowed to trust who said you're not allowed, which was the fundamental principle of humanity is you begin a relationship on the basis of trust. If you're not allowed to trust Christians and Jews, why did Allah allow in the Quran for believing men Muslims to marry Christians and Jewish women? Isn't that the most trusting of relationships? Or does he marry the Christian woman and Jewish trust?
Me a great way to get it from you have to apply Generally, if you're going to come up with nonsense like that. We can't trust them. Okay, we can't trust them. Forget Christians and Jews. The prophets as we've heard already in the Sierra, I will tell him was he a Christian and Jew?
loudly? was a it was more Shrek, which is better Christian Jew or Muslim.
Christian Jew, no doubt about it. Okay, did the prophet SAW some trusting?
So hon Allah is the main protector. Okay.
him as a bus. He comes to the Treaty of Aqaba, did he come as a Muslim, the other uncle of Rasulullah saw Salah when he came to set Leon salt. Be careful, you're giving your promises you're going to look after him.
promises some trusting
he was still mushrik
now you come up with a
difficult and dangerous situation when the process some going on the hedge run leaving. Yeah, what are they doing? They went after him to kill him bring him back dead or alive in that situation who was the guy
of Abu Bakar and the Prophet saucer. His name was Abdullah. Remember? Yeah. What was he?
believer, Christian Jew.
He was mushrik
did the promises and whoever could trust him
The thing is be obvious, isn't it and by the way, you are a guide you're going to make his escape from the hands of the other mushriks you obviously as well actually he had a treaty with some of them was thinking he broke it.
The people who broke the siege on the prophet SAW some Abu Talib and his family for three years when they were Yeah, isolated, the people who work to break that. And I know that so boycott will mushriks the prophesied promises and remember, I will battery till later on in time to the extent of in battle of butter, etc. He told the believers don't fight and kill our battery
because of what he did for us, and he was Muslim.
So much evidence against them. I'll tell you something.
Subhan Allah, look what the Quran says.
Allah Subhan Allah, Allah says
in Surah number three verse 75, Allah subhanaw taala said,
Well, I mean kitabi men in men who became body you you as de la Cava Minh, whom wamena men in tech men who be Dena de la de la ilaha illa de la nippo EMA Valley cabbie.
Alena, filco, Mina savvy
via KHOU waiuku la la la he'll carry Baba homea lembu balamb and alpha B and D. We're in
a bull mode. He
says, There are monks People of the Book, those who if you entrust them with
a treasure mountain treasure of gold, they will return it to you.
USD II like what does that mean?
You can trust them. He's saying in men who men come from a Nana, if you entrust them with yet a whole heap of treasure of gold, they will return it to you. What's that saying? You can trust them? Yeah, well, I mean, the home amongst them in men who if you entrust them with even one Deena like a penny here, they will return it to you.
Ilana don't add a comma except do you stand over them? Meaning constantly asking back for asking back the unknown
with a goal but they will not restore it to you because that is because they say now is specifically talking about those kind of, yeah, Jews and Christians they say we will not be taken to task for whatever we may do to non Jews talking about some of the Jews. And they said we don't have any obligation to the Gentiles remember, even in the Bible, Gentiles are non Jews, we have no obligation to them, we can treat them any only one we can use Rabbi etc with them all sorts. Yeah. Does they make a false accurate rely upon Allah and do so yet knowingly, but Allah loves only those who fulfill that covenant and fear Allah when Allah saying that fulfill the covenant is talking about
the Jews and Christians as Oh, who fulfilled their covenant
that is tell itself is showing you there are those we can trust them those you can't trust? Is that not the case in the Muslim community as well brothers and sisters.
There are those you can trust and those you can't trust. The only reason for mentioning it here is because some of the Jews believe they have no obligations as as some of the Muslims are saying many of them will says feel that oh, I have no obligations to non Muslims. Don't make all so far. Yeah, they took our wealth from there so I'll go and grow from them. I'm not gonna tell them
I'll do double dealing with the money to get my money back what they took from India. I didn't take it from you personally from your pocket may Yes. Making an excuse to deceive a lie. Don't the thing that Yeah, so far we don't have any obligations Rockefeller Center, and we've been warned about a lot holds a lie.
Yeah. So the reality is trust can be, yeah, human beings are all kinds. The sad thing is, the sad thing is that sometimes in today's society,
I have to say it because it's reality. Sometimes it becomes so bad that we trust non Muslim. Muslim
is another case. I'm just telling you how it is. Yeah. And certainly in some trades, yeah. If you have a joiner and a plumber. Yeah.
And I know it's not specially a trade that Muslim Pakistanis etc, go into?
Thank God, they don't they're not very good at it, most of them.
At least well known amongst the Asian, even the Sikhs are the ones who are experts, so they'd rather get Sikh plumber or a joiner than a Pakistani Muslim. Is that right or not? I'm coming from the same community. I know what I'm talking about in this regard. Okay. But we'll also get an Eastern European Yes. And British to come and do your guesswork rather than inshallah is changing
as, as the expertise in those fields, gets better experts in that field, because our families are not encouraged our children to go into that because for us, it was doctor engineer, Doctor, engineer, Doctor engineer, otherwise a failure.
Anyway, so I think I've stopped that I will continue with the issue of, of trust and saying Salaam because this is also an issue that come from Hollywood and understanding the Why am I talking about this in regards to see that because I'm talking about society, when Medina was settled on what principles? Yeah, and what lessons we need to learn when I've talked about the issues to do with a trust and saying Salaam Next time, we'll talk about the issue of jihad, Jihad and PETA.
Yeah, because that's important, going to be important to understand that before we start with the, with the life to come in Medina, which involves as a word, which are warfare, on the standard background to that. I call all the other stuff at all levels in level who will afford Rahim? Any questions, I haven't covered everything, it's impossible to cover every aspect of everything.
Remind me next time, there's something I'd like to cover about a few Hadith in Sahih Muslim to do with Christians and Jews as well on the day objects is a very important topic. And because it's inside the Muslim, I want to cover it, why I say to you that for the public, I do not encourage them to go and read body and Muslim, because you'll become confused. And I'll show you why from some of these studies, why, what kind of mess you can get, because they are really compiler options for Oliver for scholars to study and look at any questions on what we've covered today briefly.
With regards to obviously, the crime 100 of the law, there are translations. And the issue always becomes one of obviously reading a translation that you can derive guidance from, but yet also translations where one needs to seek guidance of others to help you to interpret, which is the best way to look at it in a very simple, I don't mean simplistic, it's complex, very briefly.
A Quran when it comes to just general statements to do with believe and be good and which is majority of the Quran about gender for those who are good Hellfire for those who cross like that. Anytime it goes into rules and regulations be where they're not for you to derive nine from translation that even if you understand Arabic, they're not for you to drive unless you have the background, it was full of jurisprudence, and you studied glucuronic cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But even for the public to look at translations of the Quran. There are translations and translations, but I said to you, one of the most disliked trick right translation that I found over
the years most disliked I'm telling you very strongly is a translation called a normal Quran. I call it the bracket Quran because everywhere it has brackets, and in those breakfasts, some of the the translations of the area are far off the mark, and ugly actually, because they are Saudis. Some of the Saudi scholars put their very harsh interpretations and made the muzzle that's what the crowd is saying, but got away with it by putting a bracket around it. So if anybody reads it, as somebody is given a very ugly picture, which is not a picture of Islam from the Quran, so I
That's someone I'd say beware of otherwise Generally, the ones to do with mama to pick Tao and Abdullah Yusuf Ali even though it's old English, it's alright. It's alright to to approach that. One done recently by
Halima think is a good translation that supposed to be very good for that kind of thing.
