That sounds atrocious, but how can it be

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03

a bad scholar? How can a person who

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

carries knowledge be described in such a descriptive

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

manner inside the Quran? Parables inside the Quran.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

And likewise, we stopped in the hadith of

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, a deenun

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

nasihah.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:16

Religion

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

is sincere advice.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

The companions ask a question,

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

Limaniyah Rasulullah,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

to whom does sincere advice belong to,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

Or what should we be preaching towards?

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

Since they advised to call to Allah, subhanahu

00:00:37 --> 00:00:37

ta'ala,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

call to his book,

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

to follow the rules and regulations at the

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

book of Allah, subhanahu ta'ala,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

to believe and profess faith and follow the

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

teachings of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

And likewise, to those people who govern, rule

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

over us, as mentioned, would it be the

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

scholars, the rulers over us, the advice belongs

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

to them, and, likewise, to the masses of

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

people.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

Thus, we find that these 5 different categories

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

that are mentioned, so this hadith, that everyone

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

begins to think that they are scout free

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

from advice

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

that it shouldn't be given to them.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

And, likewise, you find that in general,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

that it may sound very harsh,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

but we Muslims are those individuals, unfortunately, amongst

00:01:18 --> 00:01:18

us.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

We don't practice what we preach.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

It's amongst the biggest

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

Khalil that we find. Unfortunately, the Quran is

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

telling us

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

to be weary about this.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

Where it be in the beginning

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

Do you command people with good things, with

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

piety, righteous, and good actions?

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

You forget your own selves.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

And you recite and you have the book

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

in front of you.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

Why don't you comprehend

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

and ponder and reflect about this?

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

Because we can see in the modern world

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

today how so many people

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

are obsessed with other people,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

are obsessed with another Muslim,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

obsessed to find a fault of another Muslim,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

to find a mistake of another Muslim,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

And it wouldn't be so far stretched to

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

say that some people spend their whole life,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

their whole life is just searching for mistakes

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26

of people,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

or obsess with trying to correct another person

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

as all your life becomes.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

We're not saying we shouldn't correct people,

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

but it doesn't mean it becomes your whole

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

goal, your whole science,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

your whole attire, your whole life,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

your whole engagement with people just becomes

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

of commanding people or telling people who do

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

certain things or overlooking other people.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

Likewise, I saw the Surah Alah mentioned

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

speaks about the poets, the whole Surah 26th

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

chapter entitled,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

the poets. Then the end of the story

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

speaks about that these individuals,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

there's many good things that they say,

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

but the excessive

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

praise of people, the excessive poetry

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

begins to become what?

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

Just words.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

Just kalam, just speech.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

Just as we began with many of us

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

Muslims, just speech.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

That this is what we believe in or

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

this is what we think should take place.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

That's all it is.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

But the daily actions of commitment towards Allah

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

Many of us have fall short regarding this.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

Grave it is.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

Why do you say oh believers that which

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

you don't do?

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

Grave it is in front of Allah Subhanahu

00:03:53 --> 00:03:53

Wa Ta'ala

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

You say that which

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

you don't carry out your own selves.

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

That the real struggle is within oneself.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

That you're always worried about your own self,

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

about your actions you're carrying out inside this

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

life. And the more that the position that

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

a person has,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

the more the authority that they have,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

the more responsibility

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

it becomes.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:18

But the final

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

stopping point is with the person of authority

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

who gives that ruling

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

or gives that regulation,

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

gives that commandment

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

that they're all responsible. They're responsible for every

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

single thing underneath them.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

That's why no one should seek authority.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

No one should seek governorship.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

No one should seek to be in a

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

place of authority or place of power because

00:04:40 --> 00:04:41

the the

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

responsibility

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

is immense.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

Because at the moment our responsibility is only

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

for our own self.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

We're right, we're wrong. We sin, we we

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

make mistakes. I only have to answer for

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

my own self.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

But when you have subjects underneath you,

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

some people going to have to answer for

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04

1,000, tens of 1,000, 100 of 1,000.

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

For many people, they're going to have to

00:05:07 --> 00:05:07

answer for

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

because of being placed inside that situation.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

And amongst those individuals placed inside that situation

00:05:14 --> 00:05:17

are those people not just in authority. Those

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

people who have that knowledge of Allah Subhanahu

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

Wa Ta'ala.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

That all this discussion about

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

these parables inside the Quran.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

That sometimes

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

the human being doesn't relate to another human

00:05:30 --> 00:05:30

being.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

That's if you look at the history of

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

parables whether it be in the Arabic days

00:05:35 --> 00:05:37

of Jahiliyyah that we find or looking at

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

Greek writings of Aesop's fables or the modern

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

times to stories of the brothers Grimm that

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

we find.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

They write these parables in relation

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

to animals

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

because sometimes a human being to another human

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

being finds it difficult.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

That doesn't click in their mind the advice

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

or what they're trying to portray. So when

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

people

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

profess these

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

fables

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

or they profess these tales or these stories

00:06:05 --> 00:06:06

or the moral

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

or the lesson from the story

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

or these Amzal,

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

then it clicks in the mind that this

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

is what this person is trying to teach

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

me.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

And the Quran isn't far away from this

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

because the Quran is replete with so many

00:06:22 --> 00:06:25

inside the Quran in relation towards animals.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

Between human beings and animals.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

For a purpose that it may click into

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

our mind

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

of reflecting about our own selves

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

because the human being Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

has created the human being

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

in the ultimate form.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:53

Adam.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

We gave nobility and rank to the children

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

of Adam. We took them over the land

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

and the ocean, and we gave the human

00:07:00 --> 00:07:02

being a marked preference over the whole of

00:07:02 --> 00:07:02

creation.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

I created the human being in the best

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

mold, the best

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

structure. Strange is that Allah in the same

00:07:14 --> 00:07:14

Surah mentions

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

Then we make the same human being to

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

become the lowest of the law.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

How can the ultimate creation of the human

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

being

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

become the best of creation of Allah Subhanahu

00:07:29 --> 00:07:29

Wa Ta'ala

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

can become the lowest of the law.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

The lowest of law that mentions are this

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

parable.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

So to equate a human being to a

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

dog

00:07:39 --> 00:07:41

is something far stretch for many of us,

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

but the Quran gives that example.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

So it may be far fetched for many

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

of us, but the Quran gives the example

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

of the human being of when will it

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

become like a dog?

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

When will that human being being from the

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

supreme creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala become

00:08:00 --> 00:08:00

this wretched

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

individually? When a person begins to follow the

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

path of practicing what they preach,

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

concealing their knowledge,

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

changing of a knowledge that Allah warns about

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

inside the Quran.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:19

Till eventually, imuqaima Jaziah highlights that the person

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

becomes Ali Musoo.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

Becomes a wicked scholar,

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

a bad scholar.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

Some of us may think, oh, that sounds

00:08:30 --> 00:08:30

atrocious.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

That sounds atrocious. That how how can there

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

be a bad scholar?

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

How can a person who carries knowledge

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

be described in such a descriptive manner inside

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

the Quran?

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

And it's there inside the Quran.

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

Towards end of verse 165,

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

We find Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala begins to narrate

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

the description

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

of an individual who follows that path. What

00:08:59 --> 00:09:00

narrate to them

00:09:00 --> 00:09:01

about this individual

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

that we gave him our signs.

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

Begins to mention what is.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

Adarullah begin to mention Abdi ibn Masro would

00:09:13 --> 00:09:15

mention that it's a Raju min Ahli Musa.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

Over the time of Musa, he's sent to

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

go and carry a a certain task and

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

rather than conveying the message,

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

he was bribed by them or overtaken by

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

them, and he went and entered into their

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

faith and followed them.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

Ibn Kathid mentions

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

that this example speak by But

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

Imam Tabari mentions,

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

don't ponder and reflect upon who this individual

00:09:37 --> 00:09:37

is.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

That's not important.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

Who the individual was who done this?

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

That's Allah mentioned.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

Narrate to to them a levy, the one.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

The one who we gave him our signs.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

The one that Allah subhanahu placed his blessing

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

upon this individual.

00:09:56 --> 00:09:56

That's why

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

they mentioned we gave him our signs

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

is either the knowledge we gave this person

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

or the evidences that were given to this

00:10:04 --> 00:10:05

individual.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

That's why Ibn Qaima Jaziah highlights

00:10:08 --> 00:10:09

that Allah that

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

we gave this individual

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

Allah attributes it to himself. Subhanahu ta'ala

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

that we, our signs,

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

we gave it to this individual.

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

So this shows that even greater Maqam, a

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

blessing for this individual that Allah is attributing

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

that these signs, these evidences,

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

this this knowledge

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

is from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

And it is a great blessing that's been

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

bestowed

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

upon this individual.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

But this individual,

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

This individual, he abandoned the signs.

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

He went away from the signs.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

Forgave the actions.

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

Forgave, gave up the actions that he's supposed

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

to be doing inside his life.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

And begin to mention that salakha

00:11:01 --> 00:11:02

is

00:11:03 --> 00:11:03

the

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

linguistic meaning of salakha is like a snake

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

that leaves its skin. It comes out of

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

its body, drops the skin and comes out

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

into a new format.

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

That's a linguistic meaning.

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

And no He apparently looked

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

the part of the picture.

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

He apparently looked the part.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

Well, I can bark in and inside, there

00:11:28 --> 00:11:29

was corruption.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

That's another lesson for many of us Muslims

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

that we see this external

00:11:35 --> 00:11:35

display.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

But it's the as we began with the

00:11:39 --> 00:11:39

internal

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

internalization of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

and fear within is what makes a person

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

a real scholar in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

is fear of Allah's power, not fear of

00:11:50 --> 00:11:50

mankind

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

and not fear of people.

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

So shaitan followed him.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

Shaitan is looking for that one slip

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

to catch him.

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

He's looking for that one slip for all

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

of us to catch all of us

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

because shaitan in the same Surah Al Araf,

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

he made a promise. I'm going to come

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

sit at every location.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

I'm going to come from in front of

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

them, from behind them, on the right, on

00:12:24 --> 00:12:24

the left.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

Every single angle

00:12:28 --> 00:12:28

I'm going to be continuously

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

attacking the human being.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

So the attacks on a normal human being

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

are not the same attacks that take place

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

on a person who's well versed.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

And not the same attacks that take place

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

upon a different type of individual.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

Shaytan has a breast of knowledge

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

of knowing how to decipher and deal and

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

tackle with every single one of us.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

If the person really understands the trap and

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

the sneers of devil, then they're weak.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

But because most of us are weak in

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

our own selves,

00:12:59 --> 00:13:01

we fall to the traps and the sneers

00:13:01 --> 00:13:01

of shaytan

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

And he overcomes us and leads us away

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

from the path of Allah.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:07

He

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

highlights just like a lion waiting for its

00:13:10 --> 00:13:11

prey.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

Just like a lion waits for the prey

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

at the right split second to catch the

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

prey, Sheipani city and waiting there.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

That's why sometimes it's centuries of planning,

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

centuries of sitting there. And,

00:13:27 --> 00:13:27

decades

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

of instilling inside our minds and our children

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

and our generation and our people.

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

Don't think the attacks on a Muslim, are

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

just something today.

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

There's decades of planning

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

that we've been placed there

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

to place us in the environment that we're

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

current that we're living at the moment.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:49

He became under the lost individuals, destroyed individuals.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:52

Halloween and why?

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

Josiah mentioned because this individual

00:13:59 --> 00:14:00

does the opposite of their knowledge.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

Doesn't do what their knowledge is telling them

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

to do. He's doing the opposite. So this

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

individual becomes

00:14:15 --> 00:14:16

Point blank, he says it.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

Goes against what the action is supposed to

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

do, so this individual

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

becomes a bad scholar.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

We have these problems inside our society.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

And then Allah mentioned, what are shit now?

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

No. If we wanted to,

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

we would have raised him.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

The one who raises

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

and debases

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

That's when

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

we find other place in the Quran. Don't

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

seek idzah.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

Don't seek glory

00:14:49 --> 00:14:49

from people.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

Do you seek it from people

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

when honor and glory lies with Allah That's

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

where a person should seek it. Shouldn't seek

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

it from people.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

Do you do you seek respect and honor

00:15:03 --> 00:15:04

and dignity from people?

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

You seek it from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

Allah is the one that raises a person.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is one that debases

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

a person.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

That's Ibn Khaim or Jazee highlights. It's not

00:15:15 --> 00:15:16

just about possessing the knowledge.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

There's some of us that we may think.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

They're going to deeper dimension. It's following the

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

truth.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

That's real knowledge

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

and the impact of knowledge inside your life.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

And thirdly, the sincerity

00:15:32 --> 00:15:32

within yourself.

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

That you find out the 3 first people

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

to be judged on a day judgment.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

It's not gonna be a person who drank

00:15:41 --> 00:15:41

alcohol,

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

who committed shirk,

00:15:43 --> 00:15:46

who committed sinner. That's not the first three

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

people who going to be judged.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

The first three people who are going to

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

be judged. The first is going to be

00:15:51 --> 00:15:51

an alim.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

It's going to be a scholar.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

It's going to be a reciter of the

00:15:56 --> 00:15:56

Quran.

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

It's going to be said to him, what

00:15:58 --> 00:15:59

did you do?

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

With the blessing that we bestowed upon you.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

The person said, I I taught the people.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

I I gave the people their knowledge. I

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

recited the Quran. Kedab, you lied.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

You lied.

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

You done it so people may say you're

00:16:14 --> 00:16:14

a scholar.

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

People may say you're a card, you're a

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

recital of the Quran.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

This is what was said about you.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

This is what you wanted to hear.

00:16:26 --> 00:16:28

Dragged on his face. May Allah protect all

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

of us into Jahannam.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

Then the other 2 person who gives his

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

wealth in a way of Allah's father. The

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

person who strove in a way of Allah's

00:16:36 --> 00:16:37

father. But that can be left at a

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

later stage. But this is the the prime

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

individual.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

Of being disgraced on that day.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

His works you mentioned, don't be

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

mesmerized,

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

but a massive amount of quotations

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

a person may claim to have.

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

For in Al Ibrahim,

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

the lesson is upon the ending of a

00:17:04 --> 00:17:04

person.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:07

The death of a person.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

The final moments of the person. That's where

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

the Ibrah is.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

That they remain steadfast in the path of

00:17:14 --> 00:17:15

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17

And that's what we mentioned seeking

00:17:17 --> 00:17:18

recognition.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

You know, so we speak about revival of

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

Islam. We we speak about certain things. Read

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

read what the have written about.

00:17:27 --> 00:17:29

Even though these narrations, they're questionable, but the

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

meaning is quite explicit and true.

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

That a scholar should be weary of the

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

doors of the rulers.

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

When a person enters into their doors, their

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

mind and their heart and their perception can

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

be persuaded just like any one of us.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:49

Just like any one of us, they can

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

be persuaded as well. That's why I said

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

to them, don't be excessive in visiting these

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

people, being with these people.

00:17:56 --> 00:17:59

Other narration which categorically mention

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

even the context in such Sahih Muslim it

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

mentioned that a person is praising a a

00:18:04 --> 00:18:05

a ruler praising him.

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

So the narrator narrates him, says to him,

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

hadith inside Sahih Muslim.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

That the prophet Alayhisam told us to throw

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

dust on the face of a person. Al

00:18:15 --> 00:18:15

Madaheen,

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

people praising people excessively,

00:18:18 --> 00:18:19

throw dust on their face.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

There's no exception.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

There's no exception to the rule.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

If there's anybody that we should throw excessive

00:18:28 --> 00:18:28

praises to,

00:18:29 --> 00:18:30

it's to whom?

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

The prophet Muhammad salami. He didn't like that.

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

He didn't like people to stand up for

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

him.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

He didn't like people to narrate poetry about

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

him and say these excessive words. He rebuked

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

them. He stopped them.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

And that that is a person who deserves

00:18:45 --> 00:18:46

all praise

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

in a human sense.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:50

He deserves that.

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

And all his excessive praise that we find

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

in the world at the moment

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

where the prophets have never lived that life.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:00

He lived the life that the rule is

00:19:00 --> 00:19:01

for everyone.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

That everyone is there. That's why when Allah

00:19:04 --> 00:19:04

command

00:19:05 --> 00:19:06

us with Hajj,

00:19:07 --> 00:19:08

he placed that simple

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

two sheets of white cloth so no one

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

can make a distinction.

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

There's some try to make that distinction even

00:19:16 --> 00:19:16

today,

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

but there is no distinction that when you're

00:19:19 --> 00:19:20

coming in that journey,

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

you are all the same in front of

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:26

That's what we all

00:19:27 --> 00:19:28

human beings

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

are. The only difference is, is in your

00:19:34 --> 00:19:35

piety.

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

That should outshine and excel.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

That that is a becomes a form of

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

guidance towards people

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

with the right intention, as we mentioned.

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

But as individual he clung to the earth

00:19:50 --> 00:19:51

at dunya.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

Became entrapped inside his dunya,

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

became content with this world,

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

went towards this dunya and the zen of

00:20:01 --> 00:20:02

this dunya.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

Love of this world

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

is the head of all sins.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

When you love this world extensively,

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

that is the the the the beginning of

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

all sins.

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

That's what Rehleiman speak about excessive wealth.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

If a person doesn't have Eman,

00:20:25 --> 00:20:28

the dangers of that wealth are so much

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

so much. The danger of that wealth is

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

another person,

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

The fit now on themselves and the fit

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

now on the world.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

If they don't have the iman and how

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

to use that money, how to use that

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

wealth,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

that they will spread

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

facade upon the earth.

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

It's not they're being compelled,

00:20:56 --> 00:20:56

They love.

00:20:58 --> 00:20:59

They love to spread vice

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

inside society.

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

They love their wealth. They want to show

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

their wealth.

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

That's why Muslims are so shallow. They're saying,

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

oh, look at the the wealth and the

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

power that we Muslims that we have today.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

Look at these great buildings that we have

00:21:13 --> 00:21:16

today. Look at this fast development we have

00:21:16 --> 00:21:17

today.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:20

Is that your benchmark to judge the Muslim

00:21:20 --> 00:21:20

Ummah?

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

Is that the benchmark?

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

That how much of the world we profess

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

shows that we must be powerful people.

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

That's a wrong benchmark.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:35

The benchmark is the iman of the ummah.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:37

The akhlaq of the ummah.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:39

The characteristics.

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

The practice of the ummah is the benchmark.

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

Companions around the prophets and they were penniless,

00:21:46 --> 00:21:47

some of them.

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

That's not a myth. That's not a fable.

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

That's a reality.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

How did it get so far and wide?

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

Because why they had that conviction. We're not

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

living here for this world.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

We may come and develop it and do

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

certain things, but the real goal is an

00:22:13 --> 00:22:14

is

00:22:16 --> 00:22:18

a transcendent dunya. It just goes in a

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

path. It fleets away.

00:22:20 --> 00:22:21

But when you begin to place so much

00:22:21 --> 00:22:24

emphasis towards it, eventually the dunya is going

00:22:24 --> 00:22:25

to suck you in and

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

all of us get sucked into the dunya.

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

Even those people who may possess that knowledge.

00:22:32 --> 00:22:32

That's why,

00:22:39 --> 00:22:39

mentions.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

Began to incline towards his beautification.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

And a good thing is this dunya

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

instead of focusing towards al akhira.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

And explicit when a hadith inside Kitab al

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

Fitan inside the sun of mum, tell me

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

that we find

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

that race in doing action when fitan will

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

become like a dark night.

00:23:00 --> 00:23:03

So many fitan will come race in doing

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

good action. Don't become stagnant.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

When fitna comes fit and come, don't become

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

stagnant

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

race into more and more good deeds

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

till eventually what will happen.

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

In easy terms, a person will sell their

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

soul for bowl of rice.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:25

A person will sell their deen for a

00:23:25 --> 00:23:26

share of this dunya

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

is a prophecy of the prophet alayhis salatu

00:23:29 --> 00:23:29

salam

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

in a hadith in

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

that a person would sell their deen,

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

and we can see that today.

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

How would it be in a a minute

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

level that someone was to sell our deen?

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

That we don't wanna show our deen. We

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

don't wanna display us as a Muslim or

00:23:47 --> 00:23:48

offer my prayer or say this or say

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

that I'll make a comment about Philistine at

00:23:51 --> 00:23:52

the moment. I could lose my job. Rightfully,

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

you could lose your job. Use wisdom. We're

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

not saying that.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

We're saying that rightfully do use wisdom,

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

but sometimes you have to take a stance.

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

Sometimes you have to say a word.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

Sometimes we began with that. We're all our

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

efforts are placed upon Muslims

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

that we're not finding the time to highlight

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

what is really going on in the world.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

We're not finding that time that the open

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

atrocities that are being committed in front of

00:24:20 --> 00:24:22

our eyes. We're finding difficult to open our

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

eyes.

00:24:24 --> 00:24:26

We're finding it very difficult to recognize

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

the atrocities.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

And shame is that non Muslims at times

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

are putting us to shame.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

That they're highlighting our concern,

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

our plight, our Palestine,

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

our land, our honor, our dignity,

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

our children, our women.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

But what we can debate or ask ourselves

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

that where are we?

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

Where are we from that concern?

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

That we've minimalized our concerns

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

and we can't see the greater outer danger

00:24:57 --> 00:25:00

upon all of us. Something the food for

00:25:00 --> 00:25:01

thought for us to think about.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

That the onslaught is on Muslims

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

to harm Muslims,

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

to demonize Muslims,

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

and to use their own words even to

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

wipe out Muslims.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:14

So a person who's intelligent should be able

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

to see that inside their lives,

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

and they will be able to address that

00:25:18 --> 00:25:19

inside the society.

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

And we find a greater scale if you

00:25:21 --> 00:25:22

could see

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

how they they they've abandoned the Palestinian cause.

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

Abandon them. People could say whatever they wanna

00:25:29 --> 00:25:32

say 6 months on that we

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

find. Tens of thousands have been killed and

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

slaughtered and butchered and killed and plundered and

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

looted.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:40

Mass caves are being discovered.

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

I want to know when will it be

00:25:44 --> 00:25:45

best to intervene.

00:25:46 --> 00:25:48

According to your understanding? Tell me when it

00:25:48 --> 00:25:50

will be the right time.

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

When will it be the right time?

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

When a 100,000 have died,

00:25:56 --> 00:25:57

150,000 have died,

00:25:58 --> 00:25:59

200,000 have died.

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

Will that be the right time to intervene?

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

According to your logistical understanding of the world

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

that you claim to know better about everybody

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

else?

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

Because you find that when you speak about

00:26:10 --> 00:26:13

Rulama who revived the Islamic sciences. You speak

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

about the inquisition, Imam Ahmed. He was the

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

imam who took that stunt, the whole of

00:26:17 --> 00:26:18

the humbly

00:26:19 --> 00:26:20

would have been dismantled.

00:26:22 --> 00:26:24

Would have been dismantled if he never took

00:26:24 --> 00:26:25

that stance on that day.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:28

Imam Malik as well, if he never took

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

that stance that he's flogged

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

for his stance he took at that day.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

Flogged.

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

He was flogged. He couldn't raise his arms

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

or dislocate. He couldn't raise his hands to

00:26:37 --> 00:26:38

place them appropriately.

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

Flogged he was for a stance he took.

00:26:44 --> 00:26:44

Why?

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

Why did they do that?

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

Because they don't fear people.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

They're worried that behind them is masses of

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

people. If they take the wrong stance on

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

that day, people will fool pray, people will

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

topple.

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

People see them as role models, as individuals

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

who professing the truth and should be beacons

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

of light. We don't have the prophet

00:27:06 --> 00:27:08

around us anymore. We don't have the companions

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

around us. We have these people who carry

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

the Torah,

00:27:12 --> 00:27:13

the inheritance

00:27:14 --> 00:27:14

of the prophets

00:27:15 --> 00:27:15

is

00:27:16 --> 00:27:16

an

00:27:17 --> 00:27:17

in.

00:27:18 --> 00:27:19

Health and welfare.

00:27:19 --> 00:27:22

Whoever takes from the treasures of

00:27:22 --> 00:27:23

of prophethood,

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

of knowledge has taken the men's treasures.

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

That's what these people are carrying inside their

00:27:29 --> 00:27:31

lives. And as we find

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

and began to follow his desires.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

You know, desires that we speak about the

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

idols and the statues and the grave worship,

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

and rightfully we should do.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

You know one thing we don't want to

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

speak about?

00:27:45 --> 00:27:47

The ideal of our desires.

00:27:48 --> 00:27:49

The ideal within ourselves.

00:27:51 --> 00:27:52

We don't wanna speak about that.

00:27:53 --> 00:27:55

That same when Joseph wrote his famous,

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

the blame of one's desires when it overrides

00:28:00 --> 00:28:03

a person. Like it's only other magnanimous work.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

The deception of the devil. How the devil

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

deceives people.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

The Quran mentioned

00:28:13 --> 00:28:15

Have you not seen the one who takes

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

his Hawa, his lust, and his desires

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

as a Ilah, as a deity?

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

God doesn't just mean you take a grave

00:28:25 --> 00:28:26

and grave and a shrine and a dead

00:28:26 --> 00:28:28

person and a living person as your authority.

00:28:28 --> 00:28:29

You follow them

00:28:31 --> 00:28:33

Your own lust and your desires become an

00:28:33 --> 00:28:35

idol within your own cavity.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

They become an idol within your soul

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

They haven't broken the idol within yourself

00:28:43 --> 00:28:46

who lets their desires override them. It becomes

00:28:46 --> 00:28:47

a deity.

00:28:49 --> 00:28:53

And Allah sends this individual, misguides this individual,

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

but knowledge rightfully so. And what does Allah

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

begin to do? Seals their heart, their faculties

00:28:58 --> 00:28:58

are sealed.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:00

Another place of the Quran mentioned,

00:29:05 --> 00:29:06

Have you seen anyone who takes their lust

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

and their desires their god?

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

Are you placed his authority over these people?

00:29:16 --> 00:29:18

Person began to follow their desires. They actually

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

become null and void

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

and falling their own desires that we find.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:26

Then comes the parable. Allah mentions harsh words.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

This individual parable is individuals like a dog

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

who lols,

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

whose tongue is hanging out.

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

Whether you warn him or you don't warn

00:29:42 --> 00:29:45

him, he'll remain in that state.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

That look how Allah Subhanahu wa'ala describing an

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

'alim, a scholar

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

to a dog who's extracted his tongue.

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

Who places his nose

00:29:57 --> 00:29:58

in filthy things,

00:29:59 --> 00:30:03

eats filthy things, lives a filthy lifestyle, etcetera,

00:30:03 --> 00:30:04

that we find a whole discussion.

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

Begin to highlight about what his muscle is.

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

Even some prophetic traditions that we find

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

whenever the dog is mentioned, it's not mentioned

00:30:12 --> 00:30:13

the best light

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

person who takes back a gift

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

that a gift to a person

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

is like a like a dog who eats

00:30:20 --> 00:30:21

from his own vomit.

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

A person who keeps a dog inside the

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

house, the person has pictures on display

00:30:28 --> 00:30:30

or dog inside the house,

00:30:30 --> 00:30:33

angels don't enter into that house. Hadith inside

00:30:33 --> 00:30:33

Bukhari.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

Angels don't enter into a house where there's

00:30:36 --> 00:30:39

pictures on display or there's a dog inside

00:30:39 --> 00:30:39

that house.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:43

Allah hadith mention inla except for a person

00:30:43 --> 00:30:44

keeps a dog for agriculture

00:30:46 --> 00:30:47

to take care of the land or to

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

keep some form of security outside the area

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

or a hunting dog,

00:30:52 --> 00:30:54

Which I can safely conclude that's not men

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

that's not that doesn't fall upon us today.

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

And the type of environment that we live

00:30:58 --> 00:30:59

in at the moment. There are people that

00:30:59 --> 00:31:00

are trying to use that hadith as a

00:31:00 --> 00:31:01

justification.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

The spit, the saliva of the dog is

00:31:05 --> 00:31:05

impure.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

If it touches you, falls upon something, wash

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

it 6 or 7 times and then the

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

8 times. So wash it with Torah to

00:31:13 --> 00:31:14

purify that environment.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

And if dust earth is made any form

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

of detergent is what the meaning is. Cause

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

why there's there's impurity inside there.

00:31:23 --> 00:31:23

Not in

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

the hair of the dog in the actual

00:31:25 --> 00:31:26

saliva.

00:31:27 --> 00:31:29

There's impurities inside. They will find And even

00:31:29 --> 00:31:31

stronger Haditha, you find a person who keeps

00:31:31 --> 00:31:31

a dog

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

will lose a tirot,

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

a mountain worth of good deeds

00:31:38 --> 00:31:39

every single day.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:41

Hadith inside Bukhari.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

Person keeps a dog inside the house for

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

unjustified

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

one mountains weight of good deeds are being

00:31:48 --> 00:31:49

lost from that person

00:31:50 --> 00:31:51

on a daily basis.

00:31:52 --> 00:31:56

These harsh descriptions that hadith in the Quran.

00:31:56 --> 00:32:01

Allah describes people with knowledge. People like donkeys

00:32:01 --> 00:32:04

with books on their back.

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

Why such harsh wordings?

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

All for a purpose to awaken the individual

00:32:10 --> 00:32:11

that we find.

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

Imam Khurthuh, he mentions

00:32:13 --> 00:32:14

this example.

00:32:18 --> 00:32:20

This is whoever has been given the Quran

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

and doesn't implement the Quran inside their life.

00:32:24 --> 00:32:25

Like what he mentions,

00:32:26 --> 00:32:27

manur taqleed

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

li'alim illa bi adilatihi.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:33

It's forbidden to blind follow a scholar except

00:32:33 --> 00:32:35

to see what the evidences are.

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

So blind following just somebody, blind following someone

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

that this person said it. So that must

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

be the truth because they're a they're a

00:32:42 --> 00:32:45

religious person, because they're a knowledgeable person, because

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

they sit in such as a position. That's

00:32:47 --> 00:32:48

it. I'm going to follow it. And I'm

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

good to be said no.

00:32:50 --> 00:32:52

You need to know what the person is

00:32:52 --> 00:32:54

saying to you. If you're giving a dua,

00:32:54 --> 00:32:56

revival, Quran, and sunnah, then you follow that

00:32:56 --> 00:32:57

in every aspect.

00:32:58 --> 00:32:59

That where's the evidence of what this person

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

is trying to instill inside society.

00:33:02 --> 00:33:05

Even Kaimu Jazia upon this verse, he extracts

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

10 different extractions.

00:33:09 --> 00:33:11

To prove his point that this person is

00:33:11 --> 00:33:12

a wicked scholar.

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

In his book Al Amtal

00:33:15 --> 00:33:17

Fil Quran Al Kareem.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:20

Speak about the parable extracts 10 different proofs

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

to show that this person it deserves this

00:33:22 --> 00:33:24

punishment from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

Whether you come and you warn or warn

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

this individual,

00:33:30 --> 00:33:32

he's going to remain inside the same state.

00:33:33 --> 00:33:34

That's just somebody

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

they mentioned the verses inside the Quran that

00:33:36 --> 00:33:37

those individual

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

It makes no difference whether you warn them

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

or you don't warn them.

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

It's still the same.

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

They're not going to pay heed. They're not

00:33:50 --> 00:33:51

going to turn back to Allah

00:33:52 --> 00:33:54

You call them towards guidance, they're not going

00:33:54 --> 00:33:56

to turn back to the guidance of Allah

00:34:00 --> 00:34:02

That is a parable of a people who

00:34:02 --> 00:34:03

rejected our signs.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:09

Look at how Allah concludes.

00:34:10 --> 00:34:11

Narrate these stories

00:34:12 --> 00:34:14

about this person, about this activist individual.

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

I may ponder and reflect.

00:34:18 --> 00:34:20

He mentioned that when you use parables inside

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

your speech as a great impact.

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

That's what Quran gives a speech and gives

00:34:25 --> 00:34:25

a parable

00:34:26 --> 00:34:27

a greater impact

00:34:28 --> 00:34:30

that a person who carries out their conduct

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

in this manner. This is what this individual,

00:34:32 --> 00:34:35

the simile of this individual is in front

00:34:35 --> 00:34:36

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:44

What a evil example this is.

00:34:44 --> 00:34:46

Of all those people reject the signs of

00:34:46 --> 00:34:47

Allah

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

mentioned expose themselves to the punishment of Allah

00:34:51 --> 00:34:52

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:34:53 --> 00:34:54

Then Allah mentions,

00:34:56 --> 00:34:56

Whoever

00:34:59 --> 00:35:00

Allah guides

00:35:01 --> 00:35:02

is a rightly guided individual.

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

Whoever Allah sends a straighter individual is a

00:35:05 --> 00:35:07

is a losing individual.

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

Does AB Tameya your highlights?

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

In various words, he speaks about the individual

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

may have used his faculties to gain this

00:35:14 --> 00:35:14

knowledge.

00:35:16 --> 00:35:17

May have exerted their efforts

00:35:18 --> 00:35:19

to gain this knowledge.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:22

It is Allah subhanahu wa'ala who affirms the

00:35:22 --> 00:35:25

knowledge inside one's heart. So as a person

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

turns to Allah subhanahu wa'ala for guidance and

00:35:27 --> 00:35:28

protection,

00:35:29 --> 00:35:31

person shouldn't become full of themselves.

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

Should have think that I'm a, I'm a

00:35:33 --> 00:35:33

righteous,

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

and seek his assistance to obey him and

00:35:45 --> 00:35:46

not rely upon oneself.

00:35:47 --> 00:35:49

That's what Sheikh Zabid Temi highlights in various

00:35:49 --> 00:35:50

works,

00:35:50 --> 00:35:52

that we should be doing inside our lives.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

Whoever Allah subhanahu guides, there is no one

00:35:57 --> 00:35:58

who can misguide the individual.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

And then we find unfortunate conclusion here that

00:36:01 --> 00:36:02

Allah subhanahu dimensions.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

That what is the state of the masses

00:36:04 --> 00:36:05

of man mankind.

00:36:09 --> 00:36:10

Indeed, we've destined

00:36:11 --> 00:36:12

the masses

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

of human beings

00:36:14 --> 00:36:15

and the masses of jinn

00:36:16 --> 00:36:16

to enter

00:36:17 --> 00:36:18

into jahannam.

00:36:18 --> 00:36:19

For what reason?

00:36:23 --> 00:36:25

They have hearts, but they got no feelings.

00:36:26 --> 00:36:26

No perceptions,

00:36:27 --> 00:36:28

no knowledge,

00:36:28 --> 00:36:29

no understanding.

00:36:32 --> 00:36:34

There are faculties to see, but they can't

00:36:34 --> 00:36:35

begin to see.

00:36:38 --> 00:36:39

They have hearing, but they don't seem to

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

hear the right things.

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

Hear the guidance of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

These people are far more astray.

00:36:48 --> 00:36:49

They heed this people.

00:36:50 --> 00:36:52

And just as we mentioned that the people

00:36:52 --> 00:36:53

think that the the the powers that we

00:36:53 --> 00:36:55

have is something that's going to help us.

00:36:56 --> 00:36:58

There's a small element of truth inside that.

00:36:59 --> 00:37:01

But what's the real power? Allah mentions it.

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

Allah speaks about these people,

00:37:11 --> 00:37:13

about their accurate

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

understanding of this world

00:37:15 --> 00:37:17

and what they profess and what they have

00:37:17 --> 00:37:18

and what they own.

00:37:18 --> 00:37:19

Allah says,

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

They know everything about this world.

00:37:25 --> 00:37:27

So we fall into that cliche that we

00:37:27 --> 00:37:29

cliche we need to move with them. As

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

the world moves in the 21st century, we

00:37:31 --> 00:37:32

move with them.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

We move as fast as them.

00:37:36 --> 00:37:38

Then what does Allah conclude?

00:37:42 --> 00:37:44

But in your journey, you're moving fast.

00:37:45 --> 00:37:46

You lose the vision of Akhira,

00:37:47 --> 00:37:49

your Hafilun, your heedless.

00:37:49 --> 00:37:51

They don't believe in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:37:51 --> 00:37:53

That's why they they mock.

00:37:53 --> 00:37:56

Even whatever is taking place in the world

00:37:56 --> 00:37:58

should be enough for a normal person to

00:37:58 --> 00:38:00

reflect and of a normal person to think.

00:38:00 --> 00:38:02

Because why there is a conviction in certain

00:38:02 --> 00:38:02

people?

00:38:03 --> 00:38:05

A conviction, a protection from Allah

00:38:06 --> 00:38:07

that remains for eternity.

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

It remains there for certain people. Allah will

00:38:10 --> 00:38:14

always preserve and protect certain people and certain

00:38:14 --> 00:38:16

sanctuaries will always be protected by Allah Subhanahu

00:38:16 --> 00:38:16

Wa Ta'ala.

00:38:17 --> 00:38:19

And those centuries are there.

00:38:19 --> 00:38:21

The Haram of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will

00:38:21 --> 00:38:24

be protected. The Haram Al Makki, Haram Al

00:38:24 --> 00:38:24

Madani,

00:38:25 --> 00:38:27

and likewise for an Haram of Aqsa that

00:38:27 --> 00:38:28

we find is a protection of Allah Subhanahu

00:38:28 --> 00:38:30

wa'anahu is over there that will remain there.

00:38:31 --> 00:38:33

And that's why we ask Allah subhanahu to

00:38:33 --> 00:38:35

keep that covering and that protection and to

00:38:35 --> 00:38:37

alleviate the hardship of the people that are

00:38:37 --> 00:38:39

there that they're standing at forefront for our

00:38:39 --> 00:38:40

sake.

00:38:41 --> 00:38:43

For us, they're standing there

00:38:43 --> 00:38:46

with intention to serve Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
