So, inshallah, the program will be every last

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

Saturday of the month.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

The imam will give more details about, how

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

the program will be. But it is, inshallah,

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

it is joint effort between Islam of the

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

study of Saint Catherine's and,

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

Gama Foundation.

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

We put our efforts together to

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

present you good program.

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

The new format would be fund,

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

learn, and share, and we interact with each

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

other. It's not gonna be like just a

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

lecture and everybody goes home. No. Maybe today,

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

sheikh will speak. Next day, maybe we'll have

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

a competition between,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

the brothers and, inshallah, the sisters, they will

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

have one also.

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

And we learn in a a family format

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

or a family,

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

kind of setup. So please, if you have

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

any question after,

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

the session, you can talk to me or

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

to sister Belkis.

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

We have our membership form. We really need

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

you to fill those forms. This membership is

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

$15

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

for the whole year.

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

It's less than,

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

10¢ a month.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

It's like

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

15¢

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

a month. So it's nothing.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

Or I made a deal or anything. So

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

it is really, really good that we have

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

good members

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

of membership.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

We keep telling our

00:01:17 --> 00:01:17

politicians,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

our agencies,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

whether facts or anybody who's or any other

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

agency who would, deliver services.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

We keep telling them we have 2,000

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

members. But when they ask about the registered

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

members, it's around 200

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

max. So it is not fair for the

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

community. So please take a moment after

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

the fill the form. If you don't have

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

the money, it's just fine. We just need

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

the information, only the name and the contact

00:01:43 --> 00:01:43

information.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

It's $15

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

for the whole year for the adults.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

For our,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

youth, 16 years younger, they don't have to

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

pay. Even

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

after 16, they still can fill the phone,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

and they are exempted from paying the fees.

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

But the point is we need to get

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

together. We need to cooperate

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

to lift our own community, sha Allah. So

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

I'm not gonna take more.

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

He's here to share his knowledge, his experience.

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

We are very blessed today. We have also

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

our,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

Jama'a from.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

They are here to delight

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

So inshallah,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

the, community dinner is moved to Saturday.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

So we're hoping to get more people today,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

but because of the weather,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

but next time, InshaAllah, hopefully, we'll get, more

00:02:50 --> 00:02:50

people.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

The format will be a little bit different.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

There's a short talk for about 20 minutes.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

Today, I'm talking but maybe next time and

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

the times after we get professional,

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

speakers

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

maybe to speak about,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

healthy food, to speak about mental health. We

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

might invite a police officer to speak about

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

your rights as a citizen in Canada and

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

so on and so forth. Things of interest

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

to the community.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

Insha'Allah, we'll have competitions.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

We usually have like 5 volunteers from the

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22

sisters and 5 volunteers from the brothers. We'll

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

give each of them 5 questions, good one

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

and good ones. And those who win, the

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

team that wins will get the prize.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

Most of the time through my experience in

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

the last years, the sisters always win for

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

some reason. I don't know. The brothers always

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

go home with tears on their their cheeks,

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

but the sisters always go home with a

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

trophy. So this is a good thing. But

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

I'm not sure about Saint Catherine's, but that

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

was the case in Edmonton and also in

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

South Carolina in the US. I hope that

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

Saint Catherine's is different. Okay?

00:03:54 --> 00:03:54

So,

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

the talk tonight inshallah is about the

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

difference or actually the adab, the etiquette of

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

disagreement

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

or disagreeing with someone.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:07

We always have disagreements in the house, in

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

the school, in the masjid, at work, in

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

different places. How can we resolve these differences?

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

I'm gonna begin with a story as usual.

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

I love stories.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

So the story is a true one. It

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

happened in, I think, Houston or Dallas, Texas

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

in the US. And it was told to

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

told to me by a friend who was

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

an imam in the US.

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

He said it was the first

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

they had a new masjid,

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

and I think it was the 1st Ramadan

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

they had in that masjid.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

It was a diverse community, but the largest

00:04:41 --> 00:04:44

ethnic groups in the community were Arab,

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

of course, the Arab brothers

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

and the Pakistani brothers and Indian

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

brothers. So what they did, they disagreed on

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

the number of rakas they were going to

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

pray in.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Of course, they started with a bare verbal

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

fight,

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

then

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

it developed into a physical fight.

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

My friend told me they started to hit

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

each other with chairs and baseball clubs. And,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

of course, the Arab brothers, they wanted to

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

pray 8 rakas and go home and enjoy

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

their life.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

And the in the Pakistani brothers, no. They

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

wanted to pray 22.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

They they they wanted to stay the whole

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

night in the masjid. And of course, the

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

Arab brothers didn't like this. So what they

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

did,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

they had a big fight in the masjid.

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

Usually,

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

in, issues like this, we resolve the matter.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

We'd pray, eat. If you want to go

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

home, go home, and we will con continue

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

our salah in the masjid. Everybody is happy,

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

but they started to fight,

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

and some of them fell down and somebody

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

was bleeding. It was a disaster in the

00:05:48 --> 00:05:48

masjid.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

So one brother, I think he was Egyptian

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

or something, he wanted to bring peace in

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

the masjid. What he did, he called the

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

police 911. Hey. We have a big fight

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

in the masjid.

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

So the police came,

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

and they don't know. It's their first time

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

in the Masjid. They don't know the adab

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

of Masjid or anything. What they did, they

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

walked with their shoes on the carpet.

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

So both the Arab brothers and the Pakistani

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

brothers

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

got mad at the police.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:17

Haram, police. Haram. What's wrong with you? It's

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

haram to walk on the carpet with your

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

shoes. You have no akhlaq. You have no

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

iman.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

Fighting and bleeding is the masjid. In the

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

masjid is not haram but walking on the

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

carpet with your shoes is haram.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

So this is just one example of the

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

horrible things we we see in the community

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

because we don't have the edible Khalaf.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

that our variety and our diversity is a

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

blessing, is a niyama from Allah subhanahu wa

00:06:47 --> 00:06:47

ta'ala.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

One of the great signs of Allah Subhanahu

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

Wa Ta'ala

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

is the creation of the heavens and the

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

day.

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

The heavens and the earth and one of

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

his great signs is your diversity,

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

variety

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

in tongues, the different languages

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

we speak Arabic, Urdu,

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

English, all these different language, Chinese,

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

and your colors.

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

The way you look. You come from different

00:07:29 --> 00:07:32

ethnic backgrounds, you look different. There's white, there's

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

black, Chinese, Asian.

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says this is

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

a niyamath.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

This is a favor from Allah subhanahu wa

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

ta'ala. Indeed in this are signs for people

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

who have knowledge.

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

And now I always thought about this, how

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

can our diversity

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

and different ethnicities and languages

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

can be a niyamah from Allah subhanahu wa

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

ta'ala.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

The one time

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

I was thinking subhanAllah

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

imagine if we are one race,

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

like we are

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

from any ethnicity. The whole world is one

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

ethnicity, and we speak one time. All of

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

us speak Urdu, for example, or all of

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

us speak Arabic.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

Okay? Just one language,

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

one ethnicity.

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

We eat one food every day.

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

Timbits or biryani. You eat the same food

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

every day. Breakfast,

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

lunch,

00:08:21 --> 00:08:22

dinner.

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

So

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

you don't have

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

beautiful Arabic brothers and sisters or African brothers

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

and sisters or Chinese or Asian brothers and

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

sisters, European brothers and sisters. This beautiful diversity,

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

different people,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:36

it's one culture,

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

one color, one food, one language. Don't you

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

think this life will be so boring? You

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

do the same thing everyday, you see the

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

same people. What is this?

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

It will be a miserable life, a boring

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

life, but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says that

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

it is nama to be different.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

The same also applies to difference of opinion.

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

How many of you disagree with their wives

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

or husbands?

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

Okay.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

First of all, maybe you are your wife

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

is vegetarian, you are carnivore. You eat anything.

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

2 feet, 4 feet, flying fish.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

You can eat the dinosaur, you don't have

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

a problem. Okay. Your wife is vegetarian, alhamdulillah.

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

Or

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

you are liberal, your wife is conservative.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

You support that hockey team, your wife supports

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

the other team. You have differences,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

but still you can have 4 kids together

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

in in case you are Egyptian or in

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

case you are Somali, 17 kids.

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

Okay? So

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

regardless of all these differences,

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

we can survive, we can live together, we

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

love each other.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

These differences don't mean anything.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

The Sahaba, Rudwanullah alaihi,

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

and they had differences at the time of

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

the prophet

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

many differences.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

And Abdullah ibn Mas'ud

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

made fatawa that were different from Umar ibn

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

Khattab Radyla. Some of the ulama listed the

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

differences of fatawa between Abdullah ibn Sahuwud

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

and Umar ibn Khattab there were at least

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

100 different fatwa. Different from each other. And

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

the Sahaba disagreed Abu Bakr disagreed with Umar

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

radhiyallahu anhu and Uthman disagreed with Ali radhiyallahu

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

but they had respect

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

for one another.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

Imam Abu Hanifa and of course, Imam Ishaqir

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

disagreed with something. Imam Abu Hanifa said, Imam

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

Malik disagreed with Imam Ahmed.

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

Just disagreed. Okay. Different opinions, different fata'w, but

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

they always spoke highly of one another. Whenever

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

they mentioned Imam Abu Hanifa, they said, all

00:10:35 --> 00:10:35

are

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

students of Imam Abu Hanifa. And it is

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

true because he came and he died before

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

them.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

Imam Al Shafi'i was born the same year

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

Imam Abu Hanifa died. So all of them

00:10:45 --> 00:10:48

are the students. Imam Al Shafi'i used to

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

speak highly of Imam Ahmed and vice versa.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:52

Now the

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

students of some of these ulama, they hate

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

each other and they say terrible things about

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

each other. They need to follow their ulama,

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

their in in their maday.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

We read in Tabataatul Ahnaf

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

that Imam Abu Hanifa prayed actually, Imam Shafa

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

prayed in the masjid of Imam Abu Hanifa

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

after his death of course.

00:11:11 --> 00:11:14

And he didn't say Bismillah Rahmala Amin al

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

Fatihay. He didn't make dua at the end.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

Why? Because this is a way Imam Abu

00:11:18 --> 00:11:21

Hanifa did it. So he showed respect to

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

him even after his death. He followed his

00:11:23 --> 00:11:24

example.

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

Although it was not his mother. So the

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

ulama had a lot of respect for each

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

other and this is something we need to

00:11:30 --> 00:11:31

follow.

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

What are the adapt or what are the

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

things to avoid when we have a disagreement?

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

Okay. As I said, you will never find

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42

2 identical people in this world. Even twins

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

even twins, they have differences.

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

They love they love different foods, they do

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

different things, they support

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

different soccer teams, they do different things. Even

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

even twins,

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

they were born from the same mother and

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

the same father, they live in the same

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

house, they were fed the same food, they

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

were nursed from the same milk. They do

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

everything the same but now they have differences

00:12:06 --> 00:12:09

they are not identical, they are different. Okay?

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

So we expect a lot of differences in

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

the way we handle things, in the way

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

we understand things, and the way we do

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

things. So we need to tolerate one another

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

when it comes to the practical life.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

I'm gonna give you one example

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

and we will take lessons from that example.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

Utbah

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

ibn Rabiya came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

wa sallam. The people of Mecca told him,

00:12:33 --> 00:12:34

you are our

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

elite. You are the biggest man in town.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

Go to Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam then

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

and talk to him to discourage him from

00:12:42 --> 00:12:45

spreading the message of Islam. Because you know

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

what he's doing to the community. He's disuniting

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

us.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

So Utbah ibn Nabiya went to the prophet

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

salallahu alayhi wa sallam and he spoke with

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

him.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

And he said the first thing he said,

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

yapna akhii. He was not related to the

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

prophet but

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

he he called him nephew.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

You see he was trying to win his

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

heart so he said something good about him

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

first. And he said,

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

You are

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

one of the finest and you are one

00:13:15 --> 00:13:16

of the best among us in terms of

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

family, in terms of honor, in terms of

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

dignity. So he said something positive about him

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

first before

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

he said what he came for. Then he

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

said, but

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

we have a disagreement with you because of

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

the message you brought. You are disuniting families.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

You are calling our God's idiots.

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

You don't have respect for our parents whom

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

we follow blindly.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

So what do you want?

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

If you want to become a king, we'll

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44

make you the king.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

And you, if you want money, we'll write

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

you a check. We'll make you the richest

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

among us. If you think you are sick,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

we can get you the best the best

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

doctor in town.

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

Whatever you want we'll give it to

00:13:58 --> 00:13:58

you.

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

After he finished, he he is coming basically

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

to bribe the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

to discourage him from you know spreading the

00:14:06 --> 00:14:07

message.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

So what did the prophet salallahu alaihi wa

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

sallam do? The man stopped. He's not saying

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

anything. He did his argument

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

and it is time for the prophet salallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam to rebuttal the argument. So

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

he said, afaril ta abalwaleed.

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

2 things here.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

Number 1, he didn't interrupt him. He waited

00:14:23 --> 00:14:24

until he finished.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

Then he said, are you done? He's asking

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

him to make sure that he's not going

00:14:28 --> 00:14:31

to say anything else. And number 3, he

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

said Abalwalid.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

He called him by Akunya, his nickname, like

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

father of Abalwalid. And in the Arab culture,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

if you call someone by his eldest son,

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

this is a sign of respect.

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

He said yes. Then the prophet

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

didn't

00:14:45 --> 00:14:48

start the argument, but he said would you

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

love to listen to my answer? He said

00:14:50 --> 00:14:50

yes.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

So he said and the prophet started to

00:14:54 --> 00:14:55

recite from surat for salat

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

until he reached

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

the sajdah in the surah that's at least

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

3 pages in the surah. 3 pages

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

at least 15 minutes.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

And what did Abu Waleed do?

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

He was sitting and he put his hands

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

behind his back and he was listening attentively.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:13

And the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam resounded

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

the ayat that talk about the creation of

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

the heavens and the earth and the about

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

the punishment of the people of

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

Samud and the people of Al. And he

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

was listening there that it was time to

00:15:23 --> 00:15:26

make sajdah at the end of the 3

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

pages and the prophet

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

made sajdah.

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

Then Abu Waleed went to his people and

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

he said leave Muhammad alone.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

He has a good message. The man died

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

as a kafir, but he said if the

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

Arab get mad at him and they attack

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

him and kill him, Khalas.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

They would do the job for you. But

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

if the prophet

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

becomes victorious

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

then his honor is your honor. So it's

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

a win win situation, you don't have to

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

attack him, leave him alone.

00:15:55 --> 00:15:55

So

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

the prophet shalom didn't interrupt him and he

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

asked him to speak after he finished, and

00:16:01 --> 00:16:04

the prophet was listening attentively. So what do

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

we learn from this?

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

Number 1, when you have an argument with

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

someone,

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

you are debating a sister

00:16:11 --> 00:16:14

and debates are not recommended in Islam. You

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

don't argue or debate unless there is a

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

reason to talk. Okay?

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

But you can't argue in Haram. If someone

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

is talking to you about something Haram, like

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

trying to say that Zina is halal, you

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

don't need to argue with him. Khamris is

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

halal. You didn't need to argue. I mean,

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

there's no point in arguing

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

between Haram and Haram.

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

And I think a long time ago, I

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

mentioned the story of a brother who came

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

to me and he started to argue about

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

the permissibility

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

of smoking.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

I'm allergic to cigarettes. I don't like smoking.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

I think it's haram. This is my opinion.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

So the man say it's birab, but I

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

think it's haram. And he said, you know

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

what?

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

You know the story. That's smoking has a

00:16:54 --> 00:16:54

lot of benefits.

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

What are you talking about? I gave a

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

chutba about how we destroy our ourselves,

00:17:00 --> 00:17:01

and he said no no no smoking has

00:17:01 --> 00:17:02

a lot of,

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

benefits. And he spoke for about 40 minutes.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

He didn't give a single even

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

even a single benefit of smoking. The only

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

thing he said was,

00:17:12 --> 00:17:13

well, 25%

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16

of doctors smoke. And I said, but this

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

is not a benefit.

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

If there is 1,000,000,000

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

people in the world worship an elephant, it

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

doesn't mean I I should go and worship

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

him because of the 1,000,000,000 people who worship

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

it. The numbers don't mean anything.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

Then I told him, well, in my country

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

back home we say that smoking has 3

00:17:33 --> 00:17:34

benefits.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:35

Number 1,

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

you will never if you smoke you will

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

never suffer from old age illnesses. Why? Because

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

you die young.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

And number 2

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

and number 2, burglars would never break into

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

your house at night. Why? Because you're up

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

all night coughing, you can't breathe. They think

00:17:52 --> 00:17:53

you're up, they will never attack you at

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

night. And number 3, when you walk in

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

the street, dogs will never attack you because

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

you age very fast, you have to walk

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

with a cane in your hand. So they

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

think the dogs will think if they attack

00:18:05 --> 00:18:06

you, you will hit them and kill them.

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

So they leave you alone. These are the

00:18:07 --> 00:18:10

only benefits of smoking. But other than this,

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

I don't know. Now get out of here.

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

So

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

this is the thing, don't argue in Haram.

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

Number 2, when someone

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

you have an argument to make or a

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

proof or a question,

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

then you ask the brother why did you

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

do this? What what is the point behind

00:18:28 --> 00:18:29

doing doing this or the hikmah?

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

And now they are giving you the answer

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

and you are not even listening to the

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

answer. You are thinking about a rebuttal to

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

their answer. So you're not even paying attention.

00:18:39 --> 00:18:41

Oh, what do you do? You keep interrupting

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

them.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

I'm gonna give you the no. No. No.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:44

No. But

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

and you keep interrupting them. Or what is

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

even worse,

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

you walk away.

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

They're giving you the answer and you just

00:18:51 --> 00:18:53

walk away. You don't want even to listen

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

to the answer. What kind of Iftilaf is

00:18:55 --> 00:18:58

this? You have no respect for the ulama'

00:18:58 --> 00:19:00

or no. You have to listen and pay

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

attention to the answer.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

Number 2,

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

when

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

you ask someone

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

always refer to the the difference to the

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

Quran and Sunn. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says

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

in Surat Al Nisaafayn,

00:19:17 --> 00:19:20

Faruduwil Allahu Rasool. So

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, if you have

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

a disagreement

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

with someone,

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

then refer the whole issue to the Quran

00:19:28 --> 00:19:31

and the sunnah. Because Allah says in the

00:19:31 --> 00:19:31

Quran,

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

Quran provides answers to all questions. So the

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

answer has to be there. All you need

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

to do is to just look for it.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

If it is not there clearly, then maybe

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

it is explained in the sunnah. So if

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

the alim is giving you an ayah from

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

the Quran, no. No. No. No. I'm not

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

happy with the answer. He's giving you a

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

hadith on there. No. No. No. No. It's

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

a weak hadith.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

And they are not even Adam and hadith.

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

They don't know authentic or weak hadith. They

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

just no. It's weak. What do you mean

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

weak? You know? So in the case of

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

disagreement, you have to refer

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

to the Quran and the sunnah. And number

00:20:04 --> 00:20:04

3,

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

don't be biased.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

Okay. Many of us started different like

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

if I'm from India Pakistan, I know the

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

Hanafi Madhub, I respect Imam Abu Hanifa or

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

if I'm from Libya, I respect the Maliki

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

Madhub

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

in Egypt, in different countries. The

00:20:22 --> 00:20:25

Shafi'i Madhab in Saudi Arabia and some places

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

in the gulf, they follow the imam Ahmed

00:20:27 --> 00:20:29

Madhab. So we have to show respect to

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

each other.

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

You should not protest or question

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

someone if they do something following a certain

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

madhab.

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

And this madhab is supported by an authentic

00:20:42 --> 00:20:44

hadith or a verse from the Quran. You

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

should not argue with them. So if I

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

follow imam,

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

Shafi'i for example, and I pray 2 rakatahayatil

00:20:51 --> 00:20:54

masjid after us, this is acceptable in the

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

Shafi'i madhah. But in the harafi madhah, it

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

is not acceptable.

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

So if I if I see someone from

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

the Shafi'i madhah praying 2 rakah, then I

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

should not protest because this is acceptable in

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

a different madha and the prophet

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

did it. So so then you shouldn't question

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

them. If you have disagreement with someone

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

and none of you have

00:21:14 --> 00:21:17

enough knowledge, then talk to the ulama.

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

Talk to the ulama. I mean, don't settle

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

the matter among yourselves because you will never

00:21:24 --> 00:21:25

reach an agreement.

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

And don't talk to people who pretend to

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

be shaykh

00:21:29 --> 00:21:30

because they are just half of Quran. You

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

have to talk to someone who knows fiqh

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

and halal and haram and sira and all

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

these things.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

They say in Urdu,

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

and you can write it down. I'm gonna

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

put it on my door to the office.

00:21:45 --> 00:21:45

They

00:21:50 --> 00:21:51

say, What is this?

00:21:52 --> 00:21:55

It's can anyone translate from the Pakistani brothers?

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

Yes.

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

Half of the knowledge is dangerous.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

And?

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

And half of the know

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

half of the knowledge of medicine

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

is dangerous for the health? Yes, sir. Half

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

of the knowledge of religion is dangerous for

00:22:15 --> 00:22:16

the iman. True.

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

Half doctor

00:22:18 --> 00:22:20

is dangerous to your life and your health,

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

and half scholar is dangerous to your iman.

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

So always talk to the people with knowledge.

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

Don't talk to people who pretend to be

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

to be Alama. Okay?

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33

At the time of the prophet, some of

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

the sahaba were traveling and one of them

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

got injured

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

and he wanted

00:22:38 --> 00:22:39

to, you know,

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

he had a condition

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

in his sleep and he wanted to he

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

had to take a shower.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:48

So the sahaba disagreed. They had khilaf.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:49

So

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

the majority of them said he has to

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

take a shower.

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

Some of them, no. No. No. There's no

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

need for shower. They need he needs to

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

do tiam mum only.

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

But those who said he has to take

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

a shower, they insisted

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

and the man died after he took a

00:23:02 --> 00:23:04

shower. And the prophet

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

was not happy. And he said,

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

these people are ignorant.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

They killed him.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

If you are ignorant and you don't know,

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

ask people of knowledge. This is a solution.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

And this is why half knowledge and half

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

half half knowledge

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

is dangerous to life and to a man

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

as well as the the method

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

says.

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

The last thing I wanna say

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

is

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

when we disagree with someone,

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

our purpose of disagreeing with them is to

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

bring them back to a man and to

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

correct them, not to offend them.

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

So don't call them names, and don't call

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

them idiots or ignorant. Okay?

00:23:43 --> 00:23:46

As I always say, you can question

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

the act itself

00:23:49 --> 00:23:50

but not the person.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

Don't offend the person, don't call them names,

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

don't call them idiots. You can disagree with

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

them as much as you want. You can

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

attack their argument but don't attack the person

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

himself. At the end of the day, we

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

want to bring people closer to Islam or

00:24:04 --> 00:24:06

to make a point about salah, about fasting,

00:24:06 --> 00:24:07

about,

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

but that's it. But the person himself, we

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

love him as a brother or as a

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

sister, and that's it. Okay. And after you

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

finish,

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

don't go and talk to people about them

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

behind their backs. This brother is an idiot

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

or he's not good or he's whatever. Okay?

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

So these some of the some of the

00:24:25 --> 00:24:28

points that we can make to have, alhamdulillah,

00:24:28 --> 00:24:29

a good Khalaf,

00:24:30 --> 00:24:33

a fruitful constructive khilaf with one another. Whether

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

you have this khilaf inside the family or

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38

at work or in the masjid. And at

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

the end of the day, alhamdulillah, we try

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

to, to get closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

Ta'ala without

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

offending our brother or our sister and without

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

this uniting the community

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

as I gave the example at the beginning.

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

And, finally ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to

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

give us the knowledge and to give us

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

the hikmah, to give us sincerity in everything

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57

we say and do.

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

InshaAllah the food would be served in the

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

just a few minutes. Any questions?

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

Mama. Su'al. Su'al.

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

Questions?

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

No food before questions.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:21

Oh, it's a question.

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

What's a good question?

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

But I think he has a question first.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:46

I don't know if he had a question.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

Amin always has a question.

00:25:49 --> 00:25:50

So it you know,

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

and the only case, that you don't listen

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

to your mother is

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

is the is if she's doing something

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

like that, like, shit, something like that.

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

That you're allowed to said that you're allowed

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

to make an argument with him. Right? In

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

that case?

00:26:08 --> 00:26:09

Well,

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

if

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

we spoke about this before in the youth

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

halal prayer. If your pair of course,

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

we have to obey our parents and listen

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

to them. They have more experience

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

and

00:26:20 --> 00:26:23

their intention is to make us good Muslims.

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

Unless

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

yes. He's saying,

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

if my parents asked me to do something

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30

haram and

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

I I don't obey them, can I still

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

argue and make Iftalaf with them? And the

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37

point I'm trying to make is in the

00:26:37 --> 00:26:40

Quran Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, obey your

00:26:40 --> 00:26:41

parents.

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

Yes. Because they have they are older than

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

you. They brought you into you into this

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

life. They have a lot of experience.

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

They want everything good for you. So listen

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

to them

00:26:51 --> 00:26:51

unless

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

they are asking you to do something haram.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

And I said,

00:26:55 --> 00:26:56

of course, if it is time to make

00:26:56 --> 00:26:59

salatul fard like the 5 daily namaz, of

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

course you have to pray first. But if

00:27:01 --> 00:27:02

it is salatul sunnah,

00:27:03 --> 00:27:04

extra,

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

then you have to obey and listen to

00:27:06 --> 00:27:09

your parents first. Like say for example,

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

if they want you to go to the

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

store and buy them something and you want

00:27:12 --> 00:27:15

to pray salah to sunnah. No. You listen

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

to your parents first. When you come back,

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

you can pray sunnah.

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

This is how much Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

is teaching us to show respect to our

00:27:22 --> 00:27:25

parents. But if they ask you to do

00:27:25 --> 00:27:26

something haram,

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

like you are married to a wonderful sister,

00:27:30 --> 00:27:31

and your parents

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

are asking you to divorce your wife.

00:27:33 --> 00:27:34

Why?

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

Her father is not a good man,

00:27:37 --> 00:27:38

or he is a shoemaker,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:40

or

00:27:40 --> 00:27:41

anything.

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

Okay?

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

In this case, you don't have to listen

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

to your parents because they are telling you

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

to do something haram. It is haram to

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

divorce your wife. If she is a good

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

Muslim, you you don't have to listen to

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

your parents but in the meantime to try

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

to convince them. In some cases, some of

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

the brothers come to me and they say

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

their parents don't want them to go to

00:28:00 --> 00:28:01

the masjid,

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

or their parents don't want them to have

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

a beer, or they don't want to ask

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

to fast

00:28:06 --> 00:28:08

extra fast. Something like this.

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

And I tell them, you don't have to

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

obey your parents in this case by trying

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

to explain to them. And Allah subhanahu wa

00:28:15 --> 00:28:18

ta'ala says in Surat Luqman, if your parents

00:28:19 --> 00:28:21

tell you to do something haram, don't obey

00:28:21 --> 00:28:22

them.

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

But still respect them and be good and

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

nice to them.

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

If

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

you debate with them in a good way,

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

of course, you're not gonna offend them or

00:28:33 --> 00:28:36

call them names or anything. You have to

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

be polite with them. Okay? And don't offend

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

them because this is not acceptable in Islam.

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

Even saying to them

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

like you're not happy with you can't say

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

this in Islam. Let alone fighting with them

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

or hitting them as some people do. This

00:28:50 --> 00:28:51

is not acceptable.

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

Questions? Yes, sir.

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

Well,

00:29:10 --> 00:29:11

Islamically,

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

the prophet says

00:29:16 --> 00:29:19

those who make salat Rahim are the ones

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

who are when they are cut off, they

00:29:21 --> 00:29:22

try to reach out.

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

Islamically you don't have to be friends with

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

every human being in this world, okay? But

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

at least keep good relations with them.

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

If they are not willing to talk to

00:29:32 --> 00:29:34

you on a daily basis or a weekly

00:29:34 --> 00:29:37

or monthly, at least then remember them Ramadan

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

and Eid. Send them an email

00:29:39 --> 00:29:42

or text message. If you have a wedding,

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

call them. Something like this in in occasions.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:47

But keep a good relation with them, don't

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

cut them off completely. This is not acceptable

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

in Islam. Even if they cut you off,

00:29:51 --> 00:29:53

you're not allowed to cut them off. A

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

man came to the prophet says

00:30:01 --> 00:30:02

So he came to the prophet said,

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

I have you know some relatives. I'm very

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

good to them and they are very nasty

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

to me.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

I tried to be generous to them and

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

they cut me off. What should I do?

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

And the prophet

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

said keep a good relationship with

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

them. If they cut you off and if

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

they offend you, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

the malaika will support you. So don't cut

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

them off completely.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:28

One last question before we eat. Yes, brother.

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

Yes, brother. There's a argument that breaks out.

00:30:31 --> 00:30:33

Right? You're talking to the brother in the

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

car man. Baba. But the lady raises his

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

hand on you. Good. He's doing that case.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

Yes? He raises his hand on me.

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

Eats it all of them. He's in violence

00:30:45 --> 00:30:46

instead of

00:30:46 --> 00:30:49

talking either. The the problem when we have

00:30:49 --> 00:30:50

some,

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

arguments,

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

we don't exercise Hikma.

00:30:55 --> 00:30:55

Means

00:30:56 --> 00:30:57

that if you

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

are talking to someone and he is resistant,

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

he's not accepting your argument, and you feel

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

like one thing will lead to another,

00:31:05 --> 00:31:08

don't talk to them. Don't talk to them.

00:31:08 --> 00:31:08

Leave it there.

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

And

00:31:10 --> 00:31:12

if some if you are talking to someone

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

Yeah.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:16

If you are talking to someone

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

and you feel like they're raising their voice

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

and they're trying to get physical with you,

00:31:20 --> 00:31:21

leave them alone.

00:31:22 --> 00:31:23

And in even in the hadith the prophet

00:31:23 --> 00:31:26

says if you have a disagreement with with

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

someone,

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

if you are standing up you're getting mad,

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

you feel like you're gonna rip their head

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

off or break their neck or something. The

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

prophet says if you are standing up, sit

00:31:36 --> 00:31:39

down. If you are sitting down, lie down.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40

If you think one thing will lead to

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

another and you start a fight or something,

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

then just go out. Okay? And this is

00:31:45 --> 00:31:46

why

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

choosing the right time and choosing the right

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

aptitude when you talk to people. And this

00:31:51 --> 00:31:52

is why

00:31:52 --> 00:31:55

most sisters get a divorce because of this.

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

The brother is coming from his work, had

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

a fight in the bus, and

00:32:00 --> 00:32:01

he is coming and he is in a

00:32:01 --> 00:32:02

horrible situation.

00:32:02 --> 00:32:05

And she starts talking to him about bills,

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

about our vacation in the summer.

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

This is not the time. Okay? Choose the

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

right time. Let him eat first,

00:32:12 --> 00:32:15

relax, put some bandage on the whatever.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:17

Then talk to him. Choose the right time

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

and choose choose the right style. You see

00:32:20 --> 00:32:21

how the prophet

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

started the debate with the man?

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

He said, Abu Walid, and he respected him

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

and he was smiling to him. If you

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

want something from your husband, you better call

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

him honey before you ask for something. And

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

the same also for the sister. You can't

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

call,

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

your wife a a beautiful name. And the

00:32:37 --> 00:32:37

prophet

00:32:38 --> 00:32:39

did the same thing. He used to call

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

Aisha You Aish.

00:32:41 --> 00:32:44

A beautiful name like an endearing way of

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

calling someone.

00:32:46 --> 00:32:46

And they say,

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

if you want something from some from someone

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

and if you want to disagree with someone

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

or debate with someone or correct someone, then

00:32:56 --> 00:32:57

this is the last point I'm going to

00:32:57 --> 00:32:57

make inshallah.

00:32:58 --> 00:33:01

Say something nice to them before you correct

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

them or before you debate with them. Why?

00:33:03 --> 00:33:06

Because when you say something positive about someone,

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

you disarm them.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

You see? They you disarm them. You open

00:33:10 --> 00:33:13

their heart. It is just like a doctor

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

before he operates on a patient,

00:33:15 --> 00:33:18

he gives him the anesthesia whatever they call

00:33:18 --> 00:33:20

him, he numbs him. So when he gives

00:33:20 --> 00:33:23

him the shot he's like this, he doesn't

00:33:23 --> 00:33:24

feel anything.

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

So the doctor cuts him open and the

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

brother or the sister doesn't feel anything. So

00:33:28 --> 00:33:30

when you say something nice to someone

00:33:32 --> 00:33:35

then criticize them or argue with them or

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

whatever, will they will listen to you. Because

00:33:37 --> 00:33:40

from the very beginning, you're telling them, I

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

respect you.

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

Now you have an obligation to listen to

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

me.

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

So this is the thing. Okay? So we

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

have to maintain

00:33:48 --> 00:33:49

all these things,

00:33:49 --> 00:33:51

when we argue or when we have an

00:33:51 --> 00:33:52

iftarab with someone.

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

I think the food is ready and inshallah

00:33:55 --> 00:33:57

will go. The sisters are on this side

00:33:57 --> 00:33:59

and the brothers are on this side.

00:34:00 --> 00:34:01

Before you go,

00:34:02 --> 00:34:03

Just I would like to remind you of

00:34:03 --> 00:34:04

our

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

daily programs.

00:34:06 --> 00:34:09

small reminder after isha

00:34:11 --> 00:34:12
