00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			So, we're continuing on the lesson
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			where we're going through the of Surat Al
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			Baqarah.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			We just finished the ayats that were speaking
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			about fasting,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			and the following
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			several
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			verses and ayats
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			will be about
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			Hajj.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			As you get along, it'll be about Hajj.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			And the first Jews and I mentioned this
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			several times. The first Jews of Surat Al
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			Baqarah,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			it almost has 0 uhkam, rulings in it.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			And all of it is about so the
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			first 20 or so pages of Surat Al
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			Baqarah
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			is telling you about the men of Israel,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			telling you about how they, conducted themselves, how
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			they fell short in obeying their messengers.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			And as Allah
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			then,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			moves on from the Al Qisra,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			he tells us about how we should be
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			like. Now that you know how you should
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			be behaving, how you should do with regards
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			to the commandments,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			and this is even in the beginning when
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			when Musa says to his people,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			do as you are being commanded.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			After you have been told many, many times
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			what you should do when you are commanded,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			given examples of prophets who obeyed and listened,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			you're gonna be given many, many, many rulings,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			such as we spoke about the prayer,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:54
			and,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			the tughibre change,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			Ramadan and fasting, rulings related to judiciary
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			and,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			retribution when someone commits a crime. And now
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			we're going to be entering the ayah sedated
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			to Hajj.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			Before I continue my class, this will be
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			the final class and we will be stopping
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:12
			for Ramadan.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			So we will be stopping for Ramadan.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			So will there be no tafsir in Ramadan?
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			Rather, there will be a lot of tafsir
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			in Ramadan every single day here at the
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			Masjid.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			Sheikh Asin Hanif
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			will be going through Tafsir al Sadi. He
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			will be covering 10jus
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			over the period of Ramadan.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Last year,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			he did,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			the first 10 Jews from Baqarah until about
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			Tawba Tawba, and he's going to continue that,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			all the way until 20th Jews. That's happening
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			every single day
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			at 2 o'clock after the Dhuhr
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			up to 4 o'clock for 2 hours. You
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			can watch that online, or you can actually
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			attend. So this is one of the programs
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			that we'll be hiring every single day of
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			Ramadan. There's tafsir,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			happening, in the masjid with Sheikh Asan.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			So you can feel free to attend. If
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			you can't attend some days, attend others.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			And you can also watch them online as
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			they will be live streamed.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			After Athar,
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			every single day of Ramadan, we will have
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			a Quran halakah.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			So our imam,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			will
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			be giving a halakah where he will be
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			reading the Quran, and others will be reading
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			after him, and he will be correcting,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			and and, and teaching. This would be happening
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			every single day of Ramadan as well after
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Asar.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			There's other programs that will be happening as
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			well, but those 2 are like the main
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			ones that are happening during the day in
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			the masjid. You can always attend the masjid
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			for Iftar and there's of course. After every
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			single day of there will be a reminder
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			as well. So if you can pray here,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			after Whitir, there was there will be a
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			reminder and stiff a different will be rotating.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:50
			So,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			that's what we have planned for Madan. So
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			this is our last lesson until we come
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			back
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			after
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			Allah allows us. May Allah,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			give us
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			a righteous and long life, Amin.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			So the last ayah that we done was
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			first our ayah number 187.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			We're just talking about some of the things
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			that as a fasting person, you are not
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			allowed to do and some that you are
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			allowed to do. So what Allah subhanahu wa'ala
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			mentions,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			the ayah was speaking about that the law
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			has made lawful for the men and the
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			women to have relations at night
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			when they are fasting during the day. This
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			is halal for you.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			And, we mentioned the story behind it and
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			how some of the sahaba,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			at first when this was not allowed, fell
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			into it, and Allah
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			mentioned this, that Allah forgave them, and that
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			now you are allowed in in the in
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			the night time to engage in relations.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			Of course, you're not allowed during the day
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			because that would break your fast.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			And then the things that break your fast
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			are mentioned in this ayah.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			The eating, drinking, and being, having physical relations.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Those are the 3 things that break a
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			fast that there's a nuchilaf in.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			Any other things that you know that break
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			a fast, there's dispute in it. And that
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			just and that that doesn't mean that it's
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			it doesn't break a fast. It just means
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			that some scholars
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			hold the opinion that it doesn't. What are
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			the three things that
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			absolutely break your fast and there is no
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			khalaf in it?
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			Eating, drinking, and jimaa.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			Those those three things.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:34
			Bayib.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			Again, if you want some more detail about
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			the fiqh of fasting, there's plenty of sources
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			available,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			on our
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			YouTube
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:44
			page. Fayib.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			Allah
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:47
			then,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			talked about
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			how long we can eat and drink during
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			the day and how long that lasts.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			Until the white thread is visible from the
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			black thread. And this is an analogy. It
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			doesn't mean a literal black thread or a
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			literal white thread. It just means once the
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			day and the night can be clearly seen
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			the distinction. So when the horizon
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			lights up
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			a horizontal way and you see the twilight,
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			this is when you need to stop eating.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Of course, we go by a timetable because
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			we cannot actually see it.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			And then you continue your fasting until it's
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			night, of course,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			which means when the sun sets. And then
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			Allah said
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			do not have relations.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			While you are doing
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:28
			in the masajid.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			While you are doing irtikaf in the masajid.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			If we take points about the irtikaf, number
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			1, irtikaf is an act of worship that
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			happens only in the masjid.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			Only in the masjid. So you cannot do
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Iritikaf at home. You cannot do Iritikaf at
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			home.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			Iritikaf,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			it's how long must it be for it
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			to be valid. There's chelaf, some scholars say
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			it has to be one day at least.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			Others say it can be less.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			When is the most blessed time to do
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			atikaf? In the month of Ramadan, especially the
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			last ten.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			Is itikaf limited to the 3 main masajid
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			only? No. Allah says in the Quran here,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			while you are making itikaf in the mosques.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			So there could be any mosque.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Of course, that mosque should be a mosque
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			where the jama'a and jama'a is being established
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			because among the rulings of Iqtaqaf is that
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			you cannot leave the masjid.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			So if you decide that you're going to
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			be doing Iqtaqaf here, for example, that means
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			you can't go out and get a coffee,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			chat with a friend, or something along those
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			lines. You need to be in the masjid.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			Right? So are you stuck in the masjid
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			until your itikaf is over? Technically, yes. And
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			you can only leave when it is necessary
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			when it is necessary. So if it's not
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			necessary, you shouldn't leave.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			Also, the time period you are doing Ihtikaf
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			is time for worship.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			So it wouldn't make much sense if you
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			decide to do Ihtikaf
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			that you're spending time on your phone, browsing
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			the Internet, or engaging in things that are
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			idle. You should ensure that you are busy
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			with worship and give that time to Allah
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:57
			That Allah
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			Those are the limits of Allah.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			Meaning the rules that have just been mentioned.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			Don't have, relations during the day.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			You can during the night. Don't do it
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			when you're doing the Iittikaf. So another thing
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			is when you're doing the Iittikaf, you can't
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			have, of course, relations with your with your
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			wives. This is also something that would break
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			your Iittikaf as well. Allah then said, do
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			not go near those limits. So whenever Allah
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			makes something haram, Allah says do not go
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:25
			near it.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			Because
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			the point of it is not just to
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			to to to to not do it, it's
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			to to stay away from it as best
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			as possible.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			And just like that Allah clarifies his ayaats
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			to the peoples that they may attain taqwa
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			and become among the pious. Then Allah
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			and do not eat
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			each other's wealth and property,
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			build badly unjustly.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			Do not eat, consume,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			steal each other's property and wealth
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			without be a just cause. So what would
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			be a just cause? If you gift me
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			something, if I buy it from you, this
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			would be this would be a just cause.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			Anything that is unjust, meaning theft, fraud, or
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			anything of that sort of nature, Allah is
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			telling us that we are not allowed to
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:17
			do that.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			And not just that, Allah says,
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			and do not eat one another's property,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25
			between each other
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			unjustly in any illegal way.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			And then you escalate it to your rulers,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			is one of the tafasir.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			So you claim that
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			I I claim that a phone is mine,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			and it's not.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			And we argue about it, and I know
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			it's not mine. I'm like, let's go to
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			the court. And we I take it to
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			the highest level knowing full well that this
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			is not mine.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			Though of course this is a greater sin
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			than just the claiming and trying to steal.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			Another atafsir is,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			and you bribe with this wealth the rulers.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:01
			So
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			don't steal and don't bribe.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			Don't steal and don't bribe. And this is
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			one of the ayats
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			that clearly tell us that bribery is also
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			something that's not allowed. Right? When you give
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			something under the table so that a favor
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			can be done for you, this is not
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			an Islamic act. Should not be done and
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			cannot be done.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			So that you can then,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			knowingly eat
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			the property of, of the other people.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:31
			Sinfully
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			while you know.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			So everyone knows that stealing is wrong. Everyone
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			knows that we shouldn't consume other people's property
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			or take it from them. And this is
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			among the major sins.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			It is a major sin to steal. It
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			is a major sin to commit fraud. It's
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			a major sin to do any of these
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			things and Allah will ask you about it.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			And these these this type of sin is
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			especially especially dangerous
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			because it is from harukul nas. Right? It's
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			from the right of the people.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			And generally speaking, sins are distinguished in 2
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			ways, or they are categorized in 2. Sometimes
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			you commit a sin, and the only person
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			you're wronging is yourself.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			Right? Sometimes you commit a sin and the
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			only person you're wronging is yourself. Right? A
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			personal sin that you did. Right? You delayed
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			a prayer
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			or or something along those lines. Right?
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			You ate on purpose while you were supposed
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			to be fasting.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			Right? Who did you harm? You're harming yourself
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			but you didn't harm anyone else. Right? This
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			would be a personal sin.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			And this requires repentance.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			This requires you seeking Allah's forgiveness. But it's
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			between you and Allah.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			The good thing about it is it is
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			between you and Allah and Allah is the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			most merciful. It's between you and Allah and
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			Allah is the most merciful.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			But if you harm others,
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			steal from others, insult others, backbite them,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			then it's not just between you and Allah.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			It's between you and Allah and that person.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			And Allah is the most just. Allah is
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			the most just.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			So when it is when you commit sin
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			such as stealing in this ayah, and bribery,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			and deceiving, and all of this all of
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			this, then you
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			are not you've transgressed upon that person.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			Which means that you have to,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			pay that person back. Justice
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			must be served. And how was it done?
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			In 2 ways, either in Dunia or in
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			akhilah. Either in dunia
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			or in akhilah.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:24
			So,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:26
			if,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:28
			you
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			committed something like that to people. Right? If
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			you if you if you stole from people
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			or whatever the case is, then for Allah
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			to forgive you is contingent on them forgiving
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			you or on you giving that wealth back.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:40
			Right?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			So it is not erased
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			from your books
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			unless you've given that back,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			or unless they have forgiven you.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			And if they haven't, then you will be
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			asked about it.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			And on the day of judgment, the currency
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			is not money, it is good deeds.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			The currency is not money, it's good deeds.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			And, this is why the prophet salallahu alaihi
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			wa sallam asked his companions,
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			who among you knows who a muflis is?
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			A muflis is someone that owns nothing. It's
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			a it's a loser. Someone that has lost
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			all of his wealth. But then they said,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			oh Allah, Allah and his messenger knows best.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			Prophet said or or someone said, is the
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			one that has no wealth. The prophet said,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			the true muflis
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			is the one who will be brought on
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			their judgment. And he has insulted this person,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			stole from that person, did this to that
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			person, oppressed that person, and then he will
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			be giving them back all of his good
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			deeds. Imagine someone went to Hajj,
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			gave charity, was good to his parents, and
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			all of that he has to give it
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			away because he couldn't let
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:45
			control his mouth or he couldn't help himself
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			but to to take other people's wealth or
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			whatever the case is. And then they'll have
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			to pay that back with with with with
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			their good deeds until there's no more good
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			deeds left and then they will be pushing
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			putting their sins on that person. So this
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			is some of the dangers of taking other
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			people's harukkuk.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			What should you do if you stole from
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			someone but you can't find them?
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			What should you do? Who can tell me?
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			What do you do if you ask If
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			you stole from someone and don't remember who
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			they were?
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			Or you can't find them and you want
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			somehow get rid of that?
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			You give sadaqa on their behalf. Very good.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			You take that amount of money and you
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			give sadaqa on their behalf and you make
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			a lot of istighfar.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			And you give a lot of sadaqa, just
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			generally as well. Right?
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			And that should be part of your repentance.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			What if it was an insult?
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			What if it's an insult? What do you
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			do, Ali?
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			You speak good about them. What else?
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			You make lots of du'ai for them. You
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:42
			make lots of du'a for them. You harm
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			them with your speech. Now help them with
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			your speech. Right? This is what you do.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			And the best repentance is the one where
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			your repentance
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			is connected to your sin. So if you
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			sinned financially,
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			let your repentance be something good that you're
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			doing financially.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			If you sinned with whatever it was, right,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			these are some of the things that you
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			should all keep in mind. And may Allah
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			protect us from all types of sin.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			There is one interesting masala
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			that is brought up sometimes.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			Example would be the, the man that killed
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:15
			a 100.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			The man that killed a 100. Right? The
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			the qisas Ma'aruf and Allah forgave him. Right?
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			And it ends up it's a positive story
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			where his appearance was accepted. And some of
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			the questions that Ulema ask is, well what
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			about the 100 people that he killed?
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			We get that Allah forgives him.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			Right? And the malaik of Jannah
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			came and took him. But what about
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			the people
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:40
			that he killed? How will they be compensated?
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			Should justice not be served? Is Allah the
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			most just? Yes and yes.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			Said
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			that, Allah
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			will give them that which pleases them in
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			return.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			So Allah will compensate
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			them on on on his behalf.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			Does that make sense?
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			So they will be given their due on
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			their judgment.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			Right? They've been oppressed and because what happens
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			is the prophet told us that
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			the person that was killed
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			will ask Allah.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			Oh Allah, please ask him why did he
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			kill me. Right? And this is of course
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:17
			when the whole,
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			aspect of giving you these will happen. But
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			the ulama said, okay, so how did he
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			go to Jannah with with a 100 people
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			waiting for him? So when the ulama said
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			that Allah will compensate them on on on
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			his behalf with his mercy, and this is
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			so they will be fulfilled or happy, with
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			what they've been given, and he will be
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			forgiven, and Allah knows best.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			Allah knows best.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			The following ayah
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			is talking about the
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:44
			ahillah.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			The hillah the hillah or is is the
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			plural for hiral.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			They ask you, oh, Muhammad
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			about the new moons.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			About the new moons. Right?
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			Is the is the moon. Right?
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			Muhammad.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			They are signs to mark fixed periods
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			of for for mankind,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			and they are also for the sake of
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			the pilgrimage, for the Hajj.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			And piety and righteousness is not that you
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			enter the houses from the back,
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			but,
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			true piety
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			is,
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			whoever has taqwa of Allah,
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			and enter houses through their proper doors, the
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			front doors, and
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			so that you may be successful. So what
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			is this ayat talking about? There's a lot
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			of things I mentioned here. It starts by
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			Allah saying, it's alunakul Muhammad they will ask
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			you. About
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			the newborns. Now, the prophet
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			was asked about this.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			And there's the ulama mentioned that there were
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			the
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			that the prophet was asked about
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			what is,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			tell us about the function and the purpose
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			and the wisdom behind the crescent and the
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			moon.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			Right? What is the hikmah? What is it
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:00
			for?
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			And we all we all know and if
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			you the the way we count
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			the the the months in Islam, it is
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			a lunar year. It's a lunar year. Right?
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			So maharam is the first, maharam safar, and
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			then it goes all the way up to
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			the last month of the year. What's the
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:16
			last month of the year?
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			Al hija. Al hija.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			Do you have only 11 months?
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			Al hija. Nam.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			So that's those are,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			the lunar
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			the lunar,
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			they are based on the moon. What does
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			that mean? So when the
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			when the month starts,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			everyone is looking.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			That's why we talk about moon sighting every
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			year. Right? I think we have one coming
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			in a few days. Right? Where the moon
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			sighting was.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			Everyone it's been seen. It's not been seen.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			Should we learn faster? We're not fast. Right?
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			What is this based upon? What are they
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			looking for when they are saying we saw
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			the moon? They don't see a full moon.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			What do they actually see? They see what?
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			The crescent, which is very small.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			And it's almost not visible to the eye.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			That's day 1.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			So day 1 of Ramadan.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			And then it grows, it grows, it grows,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			it grows, it grows.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			And by the time it's a semicircle,
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			it's about 8 or 7 days in.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			And a full circle
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			is the middle of the month middle of
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			the month. So if you ever see a
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			full moon,
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			know it's in the middle of the month.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			Whatever month, you should know. I mean, like,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			we don't really keep track of the of
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:25
			the,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			we keep track of the, Alhamdulillah and the
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			Islamic calendar as we should. But if you
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			ever walk outside or you're driving outside, you're
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			outside and you see a full moon, it's
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			either 14th or 15th. It's the middle of
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			the month.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:38
			Then
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			it starts getting smaller again. Smaller again, smaller
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			again, smaller again. And by the time it's
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			a semicircle again,
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			3 weeks have gone by. And then it
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			keeps getting smaller and smaller until it disappears.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			When it appears that it can't again, it
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			is the first of the following month. That's
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			how it works. Right? That's how they used
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			to count the the the,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			the moon, the the months. And you have
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			12 of those and then it starts over
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			again by
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			so based on that, actually, from based on
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			just this information,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			you should be able to kind of guess.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			Right? Imagine what
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			what day of the week it is. Not
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			what day of the week it is, but
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			what how far into the month we are.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			Especially in Ramadan, try it. If you can
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
			see this Ramadan, try it. You're gonna be,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			it's about 4 days in. Right? 4 days
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			in. 5 days in. It's still gonna be
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			a semicircle. That's about 7, 8 that's the
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			1st week gone. So you can release and
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			this is how they lived. They never there
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			were no watches
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			or other ways to tell time other than
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			this. Right? Fayib.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			So that is the the cycle.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:38
			Now
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			what is it for? What is the hikwa
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			behind it? Allah says,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			is the jama'a of waqt. It is to
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:48
			tell the times
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			for the people.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			Right? Marked fixed periods of time. Right? This
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			is Ramadan. This is Dhul Hijjah. This is
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			and all of that based on what? The
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:00
			moon. Har Shawah started, Ramadan finished, etcetera, etcetera.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			Wal Hajj, and it is also for Hajj.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			So these are the 2,
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:06
			hikmas,
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			behind it.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:09
			For
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			Hajj. Is it just for Hajj? What about
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			fasting? Ramadan, it's also. So why was fasting
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			not mentioned? Why was Hajj mentioned?
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			Because,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:20
			the
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			the context of this ayah, the question that
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			was asked was related to Hajj. So the
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:27
			answer was about Hajj.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			The
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			or some of the,
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			of the
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			madhab, they use this ayah as a dreel
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			that hajj doesn't have a specific time.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			It is,
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			the the purpose of the of the of
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:47
			the months
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			and the is is for people to tell
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			the times and for Hajj. Therefore, any month
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			you can do Hajj. Just like in any
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			month you can do. But this is a
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			very minority opinion, and the reason for that
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			is because Allah says in in in the
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			following
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			ayaat,
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			Hajj has specific months. So Hajj has specific
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			months. What can you do throughout the year?
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			It's Umrah. Not Hajj, but Umrah. So Umrah,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			you can do it now. In fact, in
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			Ramadan it's actually a very blessed time to
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			do umrah. And,
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			it's Hajj that has a very specific time,
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			payib.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			Then there is another thing that this eye
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			is referencing, which is
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			some of the the
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			the things that people used to do in
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			Jahiliyyah as it relates to when they would
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			go to Hajj. So people used to go
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			to Hajj before Islam. Right?
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			A few things to know know is that
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			the prophet
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			wasn't the first one to do Hajj. In
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			fact, prophet mentioned that other prophets,
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			other prophets
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			also visited the house and performed the Hajj.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			In fact, we know who built the house,
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			who built the Kaaba. Prophet Ibrahim alaihis salam.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			Right? Baib. So prophets would go and visit
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			this blessed place.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			And even Uraish, they would perform their own
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			hajj. So hajj is not alien to them.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			They knew about it. Right? The way they
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:00
			did it, of course, it has a lot
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			of problems in it. Not not to mention
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			the biggest problem, which is that they were
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:03
			idol worshippers.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			So some of the adaat, some of the
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			customs they had was if someone decides that
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			they were going especially for the Ansar and
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			the people from Adina, when they decided to
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			go to Umrah or or Hajj or when
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			they decided to go out and they are
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			in a state of a haram. A A
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			state of a haram is when you are
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			in a state where you, of course have
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:26
			decided and made the intention to perform, and
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			that's when certain things you're not allowed to
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			do, etcetera.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:29
			So
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			they,
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			would then have a rule when they come,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			if they, if they come back to their
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:36
			houses,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			they would not enter through the front door.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			And they felt that they believed that that
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			was, an a,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45
			a omen, a bad luck. That they shouldn't
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			do it. They would never enter from their
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			front door. So they would either use it
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			like a ladder and go on top or
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			top, or they would come in from the
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			back. And they would believe this is the
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			most righteous thing to do. Right? What is
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			the most righteous thing to do? Right?
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:59
			Come from the back entrance
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:00
			or,
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:02
			jump over but do not enter into the
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			front entrance. Right? And this is so this
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			was something that was from the Jahili period,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			and then it it was left over.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			So even when when, after Islam, after the
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			prophet and the sahaba, some were thinking about
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			doing this. So this is being now rectified.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			So Allah is saying,
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			and righteousness is not
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			to
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			enter into the houses
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			from the back. That's not righteousness.
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			That's not righteousness. You might think it is,
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			but it is not.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			Rather, righteousness is to have taqwa of Allah
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			to fear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And then
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			Allah said enter your houses through their proper
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			doors. So here you learn a very crucial
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			and important lesson and that is that
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			who decides what's righteous and what's not? It
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It's not your
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			custom. It's not your culture. It's not what
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			you think it is.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:57
			Who decides
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			what's righteous? What's correct? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			and his messenger. And this also teaches you
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			that
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:07
			a very important principle that imamal Qutobi mentions
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			in the tafsir which is that
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			good intentions alone
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			are not enough to worship Allah.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			Good intentions alone.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			Oh, I did this out of my devotion
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:20
			to Allah.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			I'm a devout worshipper. I'm going to do
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26
			something and just decide. You know? Right? If
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:28
			if I say, you know what? I'm gonna
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			stand all night long. Just stand and get
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			tired until my back hurts. And this is
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. This wouldn't work
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			Because for an act of worship to be
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			accepted by Allah, it's not enough to have
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			good intention.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			What else is missing?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			It has to be done in according to
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			the laws of Allah. So Allah did not
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:50
			send us the prophets to teach us to
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			worship him alone,
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			just that, but also how to worship him.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:55
			So it's a package.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			The prophets tell you who to worship and
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			how to worship.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			So if you got who to worship right,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			you can't say, well, I I worship Allah
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			but in any way that I want. Like
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			one time someone told me this. Well, I
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			have something very shocking. SubhanAllah.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			That there was a sister,
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			may Allah guide her and she was told
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			to pray.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			And she said, I'm not going to pray.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			Like why not? I decide how I worship
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			Allah. I decide how I worship Allah and
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			I don't have to be confined to this
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:24
			5
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			daily regimen. I worship Allah the way I
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			like. And I am a Muslim and you
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			can never tell me otherwise.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			You see the problem here? The problem is
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			that people think that they can decide themselves.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			Right? But,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			where does that end?
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			What if someone says
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			a 114 chapters?
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			I'm going to add 2 of my own.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			I decide what's right and what's wrong. I
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			decide what we believe in. Right? It it
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			has no end. What is the point of
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			messengers if people can decide how to worship?
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:54
			Right?
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			This is this is a very big problem.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			So this ayah when Allah is saying, it
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			is not from righteousness
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			to enter into the homes from the backdoor
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			as a act of worship to Allah or
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			whatever the case is after you perform Hajar
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			when you are in a state of Islam.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			This is not righteousness.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			This is not doubting the intention of the
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			people that were doing it. This is not
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			saying you had bad intentions to begin with.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			It's saying no matter how good your intentions
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			were, this is not how you worship Allah
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. Just like if somebody decided
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			to pray that way for fajr.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:29
			Right? No matter how good your intentions may
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			be, that will not be accepted from Allah
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			subhanahu wa ta'ala. And this is something very
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:33
			important
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			to remember always.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			Prophets
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			do not only teach us who to worship,
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			they also teach us
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			how to worship.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			And if you
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:46
			decide
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			that you're going to worship correctly,
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:52
			but not Allah, then you fell into shirk.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			If you decide you're going to worship Allah
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			but not correctly, you fell into bida. And
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			those are the things that you need to
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			be very careful of. 1 will one one
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			will lead to bida, the other will lead
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			to shirk. May Allah protect us from both.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			May Allah protect us from both.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			And there's a verse that combines them.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:12
			Last I in Surah Kahf. It combines them.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			Whoever hopes to meet Allah, which is all
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18
			hope to meet Allah.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			Let him do righteous
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			actions. In meaning, they have to be in
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			accordance
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:27
			to
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			the laws of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			book of Allah and
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			not do any shirk or associate partners with
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So those are 22
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			the 2 things. Right?
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			Ensure that your actions are in accordance to
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44
			what has been revealed,
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			and avoid worship other Allah subhanahu
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			Allah And this is why Allah is saying
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			here, righteousness is the ones who have taqwa,
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			enter into the homes from the front. What
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			taqwa have taqwa of Allah
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58
			so that you may be successful.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			True success lies in having
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:01
			piety
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03
			and taqwa.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			Another point to mention was that, why was
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			it important and why was it stressed that,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			the the the months
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			are for people to
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			like, I know that was Allah mentions
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			that you may know the count of the
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			years
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23
			and you can you can you can hold,
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			them
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			you can enumerate them, and you know what
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			time it is, when it is. This is
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			also one of the wisdoms behind the akhilah
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:30
			and the months.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			But also there was
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:34
			another habit
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			that the,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			idol worship and Quraysh used to do. And
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			that was how many months are
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			are considered,
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			what's the word they're looking for? Sacred in
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			Islam.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:47
			4.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			Now these 4 months that were sacred,
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			the Arabs, they knew they were sacred as
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			well. So it wasn't something that was just
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			for the Muslims to know. Everyone knew.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			And some of the things that they didn't
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			do in that month was they wouldn't go
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			to war. So they would avoid bloodshed because
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			they are in the sacred months. Right?
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			So
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:07
			sometimes
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			they would be eager to go to war.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:13
			But they would be eager to do something
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			that you might not do in the in
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			the month, in the in the second months.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			So they would just decide
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			that that that this is not the month.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23
			They'll just just say, you know what? We're
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			moving February forward like that. This is what
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28
			they're gonna it's Muharram now. We can't do
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			it. But we really wanna invade this tribe.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			What should we do? Can we all just
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			decide that Muharram is next month?
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			And they will just push it forward or
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			push it backwards and they would play around
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			with the air like this. Right? And they
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			would so so they would push their Hajj
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			forward if they wanted to. They would push
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			the the holy and sacred months forward, and
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			Allah mentioned this is called naseya.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:49
			This is what they they would either push
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			it forward or backwards, and they would play
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53
			around the year to suit their their needs,
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			their wicked needs.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			And Allah subhanahu wa'ala's eye as we're feeding
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			that concept as well, know,
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:01
			it's it's a fixed line. Right?
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			Waayib.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			So we covered,
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:08
			the Ayat, related to fasting last week.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			We entered now into the ayaat that are
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			going to speak in what Hajj. Hajj is
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			referenced now here briefly, but it's gonna be
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			in more detailed.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			And also other ayahs that have to do
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:19
			with,
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			with fighting,
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			with Hajj
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:23
			and and
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:27
			with, sadaqa and and others as well. And
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			we'll continue this all of this,
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			after Ramadan after Ramadan. In the meantime, the
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			splint of tafsir that will be happening in
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			the masjid like I mentioned. So I hope
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			to see you all here at Duhr time
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			in the first of Ramadan. If you have
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			the time, of course, I know a lot
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			of you are working perhaps and kinda make
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			it. But in any case, you can always
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			watch it online.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			And, I ask to make those of those
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			that love the Quran, act upon the Quran,
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			listen to the Quran, read the Quran,
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			and are among the people that will be,
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			that the Quran,
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			intercedes on their behalf.
