00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			This is a continuation of our,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			tafsir class,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			the tafsir of Suratul Baqarah.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			And we are
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			at Ayah number
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			217.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			The ayah before that
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			was speaking about the act of worship, Jihad
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:23
			fisabilillah,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			fighting for the sake of Allah
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			In previous lessons, we spoke in detail
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			about what that means, what it entails, when
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			it is done, and
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			feel free to go back to our previous
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			talks to have more detail about that.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			But, in the ayah number 2 216,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			Allah mentions.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			Allah mentions
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			fighting in the way of Allah has been,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			made obligatory upon you while it is something
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			that you dislike.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			When the Sahaba
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			were told that they need to fight against
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Quraysh
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			and they had to endure
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			battle, Badar,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			Uhud,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Handak,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Hunayn, and many others.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			It wasn't an easy task.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			This is why,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			the prophet
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			also tabuk for instance. It wasn't an easy
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			task,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			And it isn't something that,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			comes naturally to people to put your life
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			on the line.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			It's,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			bravery is not something that is
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			a trait for everyone but
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			Allah
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			has obligated it.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			This
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			is why,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			if the great imam, the ruler,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			drafts
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			the men
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			to fight,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			they fight. They
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			it happens even in in non Islamic,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			countries. Right? Drafting.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			But the difference is here it is Allah
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			that has made this Ibadah and there's great
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			reward in it if you have the right
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			intention,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			of course.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			But Allah mentions that one may dislike it.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			And then Allah gave us a principle
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:09
			and
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			it may be that you dislike something.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			It is better for you. And this is
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			a principle for everything.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			You may dislike waking up for fajr, but
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			it is better for you.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			You may, dislike
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			or you or find it difficult and the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			the fasting in the heat on a summer,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			Ramadan, but then it is better for you.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			A lot of things are better for you.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			Who tells you what's better for you? Allah.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Why? Why does Allah
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			tell us what's better for us? Because Allah
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			knows us better than we know ourselves.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Allah knows what's best for us, for humanity,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			for everyone because he is Al Aleem, the
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			all knowing. He is Al Hakim, the all
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			wise. He is Ar Rahman, the most merciful.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			He is Al Latif, the most gentle.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Allah knows everything.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			He knows us better than we know ourselves.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			He created us
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			and then he commands us. And his commands
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			are best for his creation.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			And it may be that you dislike something.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			But that is better for you.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			Maybe that you enjoy or like or love
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			something,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			it
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			is bad for you.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			Allah knows
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:25
			and
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			you do not know.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			Trust Allah.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			Trust Allah's Commandments.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			Believe in Allah.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			Believe in Allah statements.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			This is what we need to do.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			Then
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			Allah
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			says, yes,
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			they will ask you.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			Who?
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			The companions are asking a question.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Who are they asking the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			wa sallam?
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			The Sahaba would ask the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			wa sallam about rulings. And there are about
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			13 ayats in the Quran where the Sahaba
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			asked the prophet something.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			Many ayaats.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			They will ask you.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			And these questions were all beneficial like Abdulwa
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			ibn Aba said,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			they would not ask the prophet something. It
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			was beneficial for them and the people that
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			came after them.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			Here a question came up about Shahru
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			Haram. The sacred months.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			More specifically fighting in them.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			They will ask
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			you concerning
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			fighting in these sacred months. Why are they
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			asking the prophet about this? There's a story
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			or there's a survey of an Azul for
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			this that the scholars mentioned.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			You have to understand the prophet
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			and this is important that every Muslim reads
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			the seed of the prophet
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			The prophet and the Sahaba were in a
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			very hostile environment.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			From the beginning of Islam they were abused,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			they were tortured, and they were
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			suffering
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			at the hands of the idol worshipping Quraysh.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			Many of them were killed. They some of
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			them fled to Abyssinia.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			And then until the prophet
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			himself had to flee Mecca,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			because they were planning on killing him.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			And then after that it was a very
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			hostile environment, wars happened.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			And the sahab and the prophet would defend
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			themselves and sometimes they would do preemptive strikes
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			as well. Offensive and defensive.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			Now
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32
			the prophet
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			was a prophet
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			but he was also a leader
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			and a military leader as well.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			So he would sometimes send
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:41
			expeditions,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			scouts,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			small group of companions
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			to see what Quraysh is up to.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			And there was this one time where he
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:51
			sent
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			some companions to Put Nakhla.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			Put Nakhla, which is a place between Mecca
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			and Taif.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			And there were many great companions that were
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01
			in this expedition.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			Abdullahi ibn Jahash,
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			Aqash ibn ibn Merson, the company who was
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			promised Jannah.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			Among them was Waqid,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			Ibra Abdulah Tamimi, and many others.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			And many others.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			8 of them.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			These 8 companions, the prophet gave them particular
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:20
			instructions.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			But the way he did it was he
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			told them to go there and he gave
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			them a paper,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			and he told them only read it when
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			you get there.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			So they got there, they read it and
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			it
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			said, Tarasad
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			Oraishn o Ta'alam Akbarahum.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			Spy on Quraysh
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			and find out information about their whereabouts, their
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			planning, their everything.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			That was their
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			role.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			This was in the month of Rajab, which
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			is a sacred month. Who can tell me
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			the other 3 sacred months? Rajab is in
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			the middle of the year. The other 3
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			sacred months are consecutive.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			Anyone wanna tell me those because we mentioned
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			them a few times in this class.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			Muharram. Okay. Now you have to go backwards.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			Muharram. Okay?
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			So it wasn't the month of Artur, it
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			was end of Rajab,
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			they came upon a caravan
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			of Quraish
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			and these companions they attacked them.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			And they killed some men, took the caravan,
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			and,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			captured some men as well.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			Were not ordered to do that by the
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			They did it in a sacred month and
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			in a sacred month you're not allowed to
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:38
			fight.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			So these sahaba clearly made a error, a
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42
			mistake.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			They come back to the prophet
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			and the prophet
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			admonishes them and said, did I tell you
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			to do that? Have I commanded you to
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:50
			do this?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			But
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			Uraish used this as an opportunity
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			to smear campaign against the believers. Look at
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			them, there's nothing they respect, they don't respect
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			sacred months, killing, and all of this.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			So it was an opportunity and and and
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			even the believers, the other believers,
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			the the Sahaba were chastised
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			for this.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			Now
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			the sahaba asked the prophet
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			so what is the ruling of fighting in
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			this sacred month?
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			Allah
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			answers this whole incident
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			in the Disaya.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:30
			Now
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			They ask you concerning
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			fighting in the 3rd months.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			Say to them,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			Fighting therein is a great transgression.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			It is a kabira, a major sin.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			Thus telling us that what those companions did
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			was what? Clearly,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:57
			wrong.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			But then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			the Quraysh themselves and their double standards.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			This is why,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:12
			there's a statement. Perhaps
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			someone else should have said that.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16
			You Quraysh,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			you are gonna point fingers
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			about a killing that happened.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			You who banished rasulullah from Makkah, you who
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			tortured the believers for years on end,
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			you who killed Somayyah,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			you who did this and that, you who
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			are disbelievers,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			you who have rejected the final messenger, you
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			who worship idols,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			you dare to reprimand,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			that is not your job.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			You don't get to say that.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:46
			Na'am,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			what a sahaba did was wrong.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:06
			Said,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:07
			Allah
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said, but a greater transgression
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			is to prevent mankind from following the way
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			of
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			truth. It is to disbelieve in Allah
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			It is to banish the people from the
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			haram.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			Because not
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28
			only are the months sacred,
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			Makkah is sacred.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			And that sanctity meant nothing to you when
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			you were spilling blood of the believers.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			And that sanctity meant nothing to you when
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			you were chasing away your Rasulullah salallahu alaihi
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			wa sallam in order to kill them. And
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			that sanctity meant nothing to you when you
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			gave as a a when you put a
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			bounty on Rasool Allah's head,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			a 100 camels for the one who kills
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:50
			him.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			So you are the last person
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			that get to reprimand
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			the beloved companions for this error.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			And to and to
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:07
			do,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			which some scholars said is the disbelief itself.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:12
			Your disbelief
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			is
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			your your disbelief
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			it is greater
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			than the killing. In other words, what you're
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			up to is far, far
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			worse.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			Here you learn something.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:33
			You learn
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			that,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is teaching us that
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			not all sins are equal.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			Very important. Not all sins are equal.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			And also
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:49
			that you don't ever let the disbelievers
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			have a moral high ground
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			on the believers.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			The one
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			who
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			is more deserving to be admonished and reprimanded
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			is the kuffar,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			especially those that are killing
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			Such as the idol worshipping of idol worshippers
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10
			of Quraysh
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			and anyone that follows them. This is something
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			that they did. Look at Firaun
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			and Musa.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			Allah when he talks about Firaun. The greatest
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			the biggest criminal on this earth.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			He would punish them, torture them.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39
			He would
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			murder and slaughter their sons.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:42
			Every year,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			babies being killed by Firaoun and his people.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:50
			He enslaved
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			the while they were free.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			He claimed to be the Rabul Al Amin.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			Do you think has
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			would ever have the audacity to claim the
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			more high ground?
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			What did he say to Musa?
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			He said, oh, and remember what you've done
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:19
			Musa. Remember that thing that you've done. What
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:19
			was that?
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			The accidental killing
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			of the Coptic, of the kibdi.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			So he's repre
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			He was ordering for years on end the
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			murdering of children.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			And when Musa says, When
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			Musa speaks to him in the most gentleness
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			of manners because Allah told him,
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			speak to him in a gentle manner, he
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			brings up, remember when you killed that one
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			guy?
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			Same thing here.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			Same thing here.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			And you see this
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			today as well.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			See this today as well.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			You'll see
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			countries that will carpet bomb cities out of
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:57
			existence,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			Drop bombs
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			on Masakin,
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			Abriya.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			But then
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			they will outrage over,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			rainbow's flag are not allowed.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			This is wrong and that is wrong.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			Do Muslims make mistakes? They do.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			Did those sahab and not make a mistake?
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			They did.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			But what is that mistake compare to what
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			is happening?
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			And Allah is calling that out.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:30
			But
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			it is important
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			that when we do call out,
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			when we do call out the double standard,
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			that we don't blind ourselves from the error
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			that some Muslims may be committing.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			Look at Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and how
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46
			he
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			spoke about the incident.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:51
			Yes.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			You
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			asked about the the fighting in the sacred
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			months.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			It is a major sin. It is a
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			great transgression.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			You mentioned that,
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:06
			but then
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			perhaps it wasn't that Quran should not have
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			said that.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			They have absolutely no leg to stand on
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			as they say. And it's important that we
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			understand this.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			Let's look at 1 by 1 the things
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			that Allah
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			mentions that Quraysh did.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			Number 1,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			Allah mentions
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			to obstruct
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			people from the way of Allah.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			This can be done in many ways.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			It can be done by actually stopping them
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			from being able to practice.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			Closing down their masajid,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			refusing them entry. It could be done by,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			doing propaganda against the callers of truth like
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			they did. Calling the prophet Majnoon, calling the
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			prophet names, preventing people from listening to them.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			They used to actually go out and say
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			to people, put
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			earplugs. Do not listen to Muhammad no matter
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			what. This is sadaan sabiillillah.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			Because you are preventing people from guidance, you
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			are preventing people from truth, you are preventing
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			people from the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:05
			ta'ala.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			Among that is that
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:09
			to
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			spread
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13
			doubts within the people,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			And because of that, they leave the religion.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			All of these are ways.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			In other words, everything that you're doing that
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			is preventing
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			the truth reaching the people is it
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			is obstructing in the way of Allah
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			from the way of Allah
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			and that is a greater sin than what
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			Waqid
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			and all the other companions
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:33
			did.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			And to disbelief in Allah. My brothers and
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:40
			sisters,
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			understand this.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			Disbelief in Allah has the greatest sin.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			To deny Allah
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:47
			There's no
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			great There's no greater sin.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			This is why these believers are not allowed
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			to enter into Jannah. Everyone else, no matter
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			if you're a believer, no matter what sin
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			you commit,
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			eventually even if you are punished, you will
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			end up in Jannah. There's a reason for
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			that. There's no greater sin than to reject
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			the truth, than to reject the messengers. Uraish
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:10
			dared
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			to claim
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			the more high ground. How dare you fight
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			in the in Rajab?
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			The other thing is, they themselves killed,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			murdered,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			and maimed
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:23
			in Rajab
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			and in all any of these months. They
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			had no they they they had no sanctity.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			The hypocrisy
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			of Quraysh is clear.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			Not only that, Allah then mentions,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			And to,
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			banish
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			and remove
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			the people and drive out its inhabitants from
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			Mecca. Makkah is meant to be safe.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:51
			Allah
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			calls it a safe
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			sanctuary,
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			better than Aminan.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			And they messed all of that up.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			Akhiraju Nabiya.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			They kicked out their prophet.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions these things.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			These
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13
			are all greater in the eyes of Allah
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			Subhanahu
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:15
			wa
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			ta'ala. The disbelief
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			or the trialing
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			and the tribulations that you've put the believers
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			through,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:25
			is a greater
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:26
			transgression.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			In
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			the killing that happened.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			Now,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			one of the things that happened was
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:36
			is that
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			one may assume
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			that
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			the transgression that was committed by these companions
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			resulted in the perpetuating of the fighting.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:50
			Now look what you've done now.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			Now we are gonna go to war with
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			Quraysh because you've killed a few of them.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:54
			Right?
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			Allah
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			said,
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			They would have never stopped fighting you anyway.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			They would have never stopped fighting
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			and they will never cease fighting you.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			They will never cease fighting you. What did
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			they do? Weather
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			happened, a year later they were at a
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			doorstep of Medina, at Uhud.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			And then they came back again with a
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			coalition
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			at Handak. And again and again and again.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			They will never cease fighting you.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:31
			Until
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			you turn back from your religion, if they
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			can.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			So what is the objective
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			of the disbelievers? What what is the objective?
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			Allah mentions in the Quran.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:51
			They will never be pleased with you. The
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			yahu and the nasaara will never be pleased
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			with you until you follow their religion.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			They will never be pleased with you. What
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			did Allah say about the kuffar generally?
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			They wish that you disbelieved like they disbelieved.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			Be like us, then we can be friends.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			As long as you stand up for your
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			own truth, for your own values, for the
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			deen of Allah, we are not the same
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			and they will continue attacking you in whatever
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			way that they can.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:17
			Change,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			become like us,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			then good job.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			Anything other this is why you sometimes see,
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			this is a tragedy.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			You sometimes see some
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			I hope I wish to say well meaning
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			Muslims,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			that will
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			they will change their whole faith to be
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:36
			accepted.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			There was one such individual.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			I think this happened. This is in America.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			She
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			she,
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			is normalizing all sorts of Faizha.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			All sorts of
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			Faiza. This is this is fine. This is
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			fine. Parading with,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			the worst of the worst calling towards
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			the abolishment of certain laws that are Islamic
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			and all of this. Right?
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			Ticks every box.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			And then what? One box you refuse to
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:08
			tick?
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			The issue of Palestine.
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			No.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			Palestine, this you know? She stood up for
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			Palestine. May
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			Allah guide her and guide us all.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			Doesn't matter how many causes you support.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			It doesn't matter how many causes you support.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			It doesn't matter if you remove your hijab.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			It doesn't matter if you shave your bed.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			It doesn't matter if you talk like us,
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			just like us. It doesn't matter if you
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:31
			insult other Muslims.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			Are you fully on board with our project?
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			The Kufra project? Are you fully on board?
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			No. No. Allah said that.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			You have to follow everything because they will
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			never be pleased with you. So look at
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			that. You sold your whole deen and they
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			still is rejecting you.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			You sold your whole deen. You're like, okay,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			everything I'm happy with you just Palestine. No.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			Not even that.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			So we have to be smart.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			And they will never cease fighting you Allah
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			said. So these Sahaba
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:09
			these sahaba
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			should not have done what they have done
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			and they were reprimanded for it, but
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			it's not like what they did caused the
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			fighting. It was always going to happen. It
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			was always going to continue happening.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			And until the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam established
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			himself in Makkah and conquered Makkah, the kuffar
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			of the Quraysh were always attacking the the
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			Muslims.
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			So what is the what was the goal
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			of Quresh? What is the goal of the
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			kuffar generally speaking?
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			To turn you away from your religion, and
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:40
			then Allah
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			warns us of the consequences
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			of leaving your religion.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			Allah says,
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			And whosoever
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			turns back from his religion,
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			if you leave Islam.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			And dies upon that.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			He is rejecting the truth and is a
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:04
			kafir.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:06
			Those people
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			whom all of their deeds will be lost.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			In this life and the hereafter.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			And they will be the dwellers of the
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			fire. May Allah protect us. They'll
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			abide in there forever. This is the warning
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. For those that
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			leave Islam, they will abide in hellfire forever.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			So it's a warning, do not let the
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			pressure get to you and then you leave
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			Islam. Stay firm upon your religion.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			The scholars, they talk about and
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			what does it mean for your
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			deeds
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			to be gone?
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:44
			For example,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			someone apostates
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			and then dies.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			What about their previous good deeds? The Hajj
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			that they have done, the prayers that they
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			have prayed, the istighfar they have done. It
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			won't matter. It will be all be gone.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			Your kufr will destroy all of that. Does
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:01
			that make sense?
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			But what if the person repents and comes
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:04
			back?
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			So someone, let's say, Ali,
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			was
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			a believer,
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			then he left,
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:13
			and then he came back.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			Will his goodness be reinstated or not?
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			Or do you have to start from scratch?
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			Fair question. Right?
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			The scholars differed over this. Some of them
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			said if the person repents,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			his deeds are gone. Because it is at
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			this earlier this belief that you've committed that
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			destroys all of your good deeds. Right? So
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			if you've done Hajj, you need to do
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			another
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			Hajj.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:36
			The
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			they say, Al Muham Shafi'i is madhab,
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			that the person's deeds stay.
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			The person's deeds stay. Which is interesting. You
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			know what's interesting is with regards to ridda,
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:48
			that
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			when you're reading the chapter of purification or
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:53
			wudu, they mention among the things that break
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			your wudu. And they mention, you know,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			relieving yourself, and they mention,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			so they used to mention rida as well,
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			relieving Islam. They're like,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			how? Why would they mention this?
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:05
			But
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			let's say someone falls in the kufr and
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			repents
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			and he still has zudu.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:10
			Right?
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:11
			The
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			the the job of and jurists
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			is to think of every scenario and give
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:17
			an answer for it, even if it's very
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			unlikely. That's their job. Sometimes you're reading a
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			fiqh book. You're wondering, why are they talking
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			about this? This doesn't make sense.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			But it is their job. That's why all
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			these volumes of fiqqa you see, they imagine
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			scenarios
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			and why we we we today we benefit
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			from some of this some of the,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:36
			the
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			hypothetical scenarios
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			that they thought of because now they are
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			actual realities. This is the benefit of the
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			fuqa. May Allah
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			preserve them all.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			So
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			may Allah protect us from from ridda as
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			well. May Allah protect us from ridda as
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			well. It is very dangerous. May Allah keep
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			us firm upon the the faith, and may
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			Allah forgive our sins. Allah mentioned in the
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			Quran, speaking
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			to
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			our
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:01
			messenger.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			If you commit shirk, your deeds will be
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:07
			gone. Allah said this to the prophet sallallahu
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			Allah said to many prophets, and this is
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			very powerful in Surah 2 and Surah Al
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			Anam. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Surah Al Anam.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			after mentioning many many prophets,
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			Allah says,
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			Allah
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			mentions. Let's read the ayats and let's see
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			if anyone can keep track of how many
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			prophets that
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			it mentions.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			How many prophets?
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			18 prophets. Allah mentions 18 prophets.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			And Allah says to Rasool Allah,
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:31
			That is the guidance of Allah.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			With which he guides whomsoever he wills from
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			his servants.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			All those great prophets I mentioned.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			And if they had joined in worship others
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			with Allah and committed kufr,
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			All that they used to do of good
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			deeds would have been of no benefit to
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:55
			them.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			Look at that warning.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			Those great prophets of Allah is telling us
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			this. This shows
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			you and to them it is an impossibility.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			It is impossible for those great prophets to
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			fall into shirk and you Allah's warning if
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			even if they fell into shirk,
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			they would have no deed. So what should
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			we be thinking? May Allah keep us firm.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			And Allah mentions, Rasool
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			All those great prophets,
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			those are the ones who Allah guided.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			And follow them in their guidance, which shows
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			you even Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam is
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			following a legacy. And it's important that we
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			understand that the legacy of Al Islam, it
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			goes beyond Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			to all those great messengers. Baytul al Qasid,
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			the point I'm trying to make here is
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			shirk, kufur,
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			it destroys all your good deeds. And if
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			someone repents, what did we say? The scholars
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			differ over it. Some said that your good
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			deeds remain, and while others said, they are
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			gone forever. May Allah protect us from that
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56
			eventuality.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			These companions
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			that committed this error and this transgression
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			and Allah mentioned that they act
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			They
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			were worried. What does this mean
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			about them?
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala then in the following
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			ayah speaks about them and anyone similar to
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:27
			them. Because these great companions, they were believers,
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			they were Muhajids
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			that made hijrah for the sake of Allah.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			Traveled from Makkah to Madinah, left their home
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			for the sake of Allah. They were mujahids,
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			they fought for the sake of Allah.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:38
			Allah
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:41
			says,
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44
			Very those who have believed
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			And those who have migrated for the sake
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			of Allah and his religion.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			And those that had fought
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			and went through difficulty
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			and exerted themselves in the sake of Allah
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			All these will hope for Allah's mercy.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15
			And Allah is the Aught Forgiving and Merciful.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			In other words, Wajidil was wrong,
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			but it was a mistake
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			that is drowning
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			in an ocean of goodness.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			And that's how we should perceive our sahab
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			and the companions. And there were many that
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			made some mistakes. And the prophet would be
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			would reprimand them. Right?
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			There's a hadith of the prophet said to
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			Right? A fit person that's causing issues for
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			and and making the diligent difficult. The prophet
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			said to Muhammad
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47
			when and and and Osama bin Azayd, a
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:47
			allahome
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:49
			oh Allah I am bereaved from what Khaled
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			have done.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			When Osama killed a man after he said,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			and he was in battle. The prophet
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:57
			said, did you kill him after he said,
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			and the prophet reprimanded him as well,
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			what you see here is
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			that the sahab are infallible. They will make
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:06
			mistakes.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			But we still hold them in the highest
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:09
			regards possible
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			because the actions that they've done, the defending
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			of this religion, the spreading of it, the
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:17
			the they went hungry for it, they traveled
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:20
			for it, they were killed for it. This
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			is an ocean of goodness and righteousness,
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:26
			that is more than the mistake that they
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			have committed. What are some of the lessons
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			that we learned from the zayah? Number 1,
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			that the Sahaba would ask the prophet sallallahu
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			alaihi wa sallam questions,
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			and that the prophet would answer them. He
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			he was there, Mufti, if you like. We
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			learn from it that there are sacred months,
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			and in these sacred months, there are certain
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			rulings among them that you're not allowed to
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:45
			fight, live in, and they are they have
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			sanctity. Although the scholars differ over, is this
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:51
			an abrogated ayah? Is this an abrogated ayah?
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			Why?
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:54
			Because some of the ulama believe that in,
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			this the restrictions
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			on,
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			the fighting,
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			not the not fighting in the sacred months
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			has been lifted. Another say this ayah is
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			not abrogated.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:09
			Now we also mentioned how, Allah mentioned that
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			the fighting and the that those sahaba did
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:13
			was a kabira. It was transgression. And it
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			was a great transgression
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			and that teaches you that not all sins
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			are the same. Some are major sins, some
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			are minor sins. Some scholars say the major
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24
			sins are only 7. The 7 great destructive
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:27
			sins mentioned in hadith. Others said it's about
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			17. Some said up to 70.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			But the more correct view is that there's
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			no limited number. There's no number on it.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			Rather you have to have a principle.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:38
			And the principle
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			is every sin
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			that is promised hellfire,
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			every sin that Allah curses the people that
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:48
			do it, every sin that Allah mentioned that
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			he's angry at those that do it is
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			a major sin. So when you find those
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			descriptions, if you had the hadith, cursed are
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			the one who do such and such, that's
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:57
			a major
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59
			sin. Those who do such and such will
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00
			go to the half hour, that is a
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:00
			major
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			sin. Those
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05
			who do this, Allah is angry with them,
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07
			that is a major sin. So those are
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09
			the descriptions that you find in an eye
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10
			or a hadith
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:11
			that will tell you that is what? A
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			major sin and Allah knows best.
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			A good book to read is The Major
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			Sins by Al Imam ad Dhabi. Major Sins
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:20
			by Al Imam ad Dhabi. Another scholar, Ibn
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			Hajar al Haytami, also has a book.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			His book is Zawajir.
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			Ibn Hajar al Haytami, great Shaafi scholar, he
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28
			also has a book where he listed the
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:31
			major sins. I believe Muhammad al Rahab, also
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			has one.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			And there are plenty others.
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			Here, we've done a series on the major
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			sins, as well, a number of years ago.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			Several times, actually, with different speakers.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			One among the things that we learned from
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:50
			this aya is that the
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:51
			crimes
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52
			of
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			the Kufar of Quraysh
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			far exceed
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			in number and in severity
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			than the error and the mistake and the
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			sinful act that the sahaba fell into.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			Those particular sahabas, I should say.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			We learn from this ayah that
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			the goal, objective of the disbelievers
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13
			is to turn as many people away from
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			Islam.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			We learned that whoever
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:16
			leaves
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			Islam and and and goes turns away from
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			this religion, that Allah said that their deeds
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			will be in vain and and they will
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			be of no use.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:27
			And we mentioned the difference of opinion as
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			it relates to if they come back,
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30
			what should happen.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			May Allah protect us. And finally, Allah said
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			that those who believe
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36
			and have made hijrah
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38
			and have made Jihadis,
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			they are the ones that are hoping the
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			mercy of Allah and Allah is the oft
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:44
			forgiving and the most merciful. We conclude here,
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:45
			and next week, inshallah,
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			we'll go through
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			a a, another question that the Sahaba post
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:50
			about alcohol.
