The parables inside the Quran make it difficult for individuals to carry out their own selves and lead to the loss of their human self. They highlight the importance of finding the right person to confront one's actions and finding the right person to be proud of. The speakers emphasize the need for individuals to be more aware of their own actions and focus on their own needs. They also discuss the use of wisdom and the importance of minimizing one's concerns and weaknesses in shaping behavior. The power of parables inside speech is used to motivate people to follow the message and alleviate hardship.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			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.
