It's,
Ajeeb.
Remember, this is maybe a reminder again about
this
This is the types of gathering that Allah
loves, that the angel in fact they search
and they travel around just looking for these
types of gathering, whether by the name of
Allah is mentioned
especially,
the
and
the has been narrated, in the many hadith
but this particular hadith.
You know, people who get together in one
of the house of Allah
They recite the book of Allah or they
study it, and it's exactly what we're doing.
And, then what are the fruits? The fruits
are numerous,
one of which is
the
will
overwhelm them,
the will descend upon them,
the angels will surround them,
and
and the angel at the end will tell
them stand up and leave, all your sins
have been forgiven. So, these are all the
fruits and the merits
of halak ad zikr,
you know. So, this is just a reminder
to maybe inshallah to try to encourage you
to attend try to attend these types of
halakh, whatever they could be, you know, something
that you could learn from.
I ask Allah to bless this beautiful gathering
as we've gathered here tonight, inshallah, and I
ask Allah
to gather us all in a better gathering
in the presence and the companionship of our
prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Jannah.
With Surat al Baqarah still talking about, you
know, the,
with Ben Israel
and all the that Allah,
the blessings that he's blessed them with.
The last that we talked about was
regarding the
Who is more wrong than those who prevent
people from entering or coming to the Masjid
of Allah
preventing his word to be to be,
mentioned,
such as the Masajid, such as people preventing
them from not just entering the Masjid, preventing
them from giving halakat.
And I mentioned that last week, there are
certain masajid where,
you you if in some other countries, you
know, when you go to,
a masjid,
you have to be certain age or you
have to be in that locality because if
that masjid is not in your locality locality,
you're not you're they won't you won't be
able to, to go into that particular masjid,
you only get to go to your masjid
which is in your neighborhood.
People who go for Fajal, they have to
be a certain age.
Talking about Gaza, talking about Palestine. So, talking
about
is open 247
and Madinah is open 247.
The other sacred which is,
they definitely,
relate to this that says who is more
wrong than those who prevent people from
from from,
people from entering the masjid of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. And then right there, then Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala says, we regard to those
who can't.
And to Allah belong you see every eye
just like a chain.
One leads to the other. You know this,
like a chain. You know that that have
beads. One lead to the one another. One
eye leads to one another. Then Allah says,
Waayib, you're prevented from this from entering a
masjid.
To Allah belong the east and west.
Anywhere you face,
that where is the kibla is. That's where
Allah wherever you are. Yes. When this woman
she came to Rasulullah,
you know, and she claimed to be a
Muslim, a believer, the prophet asked her the
question, Ayn Allah.
And the sahaba they used to test people
whenever they claim to be a Muslim or
they want to become a Muslim. The first
question they may ask them is, Ayn Allah,
where is Allah? Because this has opened a
big debate amongst different sects.
Those who say Allah is everywhere.
Allah is everywhere. And there are certain sects
that say that. Allah is
in the heavens
but he's everywhere with his knowledge subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Allah
subhanahu
wa
ta'ala. He's with us with his knowledge. He
knows what you're doing. He knows what you
are. But where is Allah? Allah is in
the heavens, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Ascended on his throne, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Here comes the or answers the question about
the,
the the qiblah of Allah
This ayah was revealed with regard to salatul
nafila.
The voluntary prayers.
If you cannot face the qiblah,
so with regard to salat al nafila, if
you're not able to face the qiblah, or
you don't know where the qiblah is, or
you're traveling,
you can face any way as long as
you make certain efforts, right? To try to
seek where the Qibla is. But if you're
not able to know where the Qibla is
or it is impossible for you to pray
face in the Qibla.
You know, you're on a plane
and it's like constant constant,
ish idol vibration. What is it called?
Turbulence.
Constant turbulence and the pilot kept the sign
on
to the out the journey. You can't stand
and the qigla is behind you.
Now it's a Well, not only for nafil,
in fact the will even apply beyond the
nafil also for the fard. Right? So, but
for the nafil, this ayah was revealed with
regard to
you can pray,
for any way you face, that's where the
is.
And then, as I mentioned, came in the
of
the,
with regard to certain necessities.
If you are in the Haram, your Qibla
is inside the Haram as you are in
the Haram. You need the Haram is when
you're facing the the Kaibla which is the
Kaibla. Then if you come outside of the
Haram, where is your Qibla? The Qibla is
the Haram. Anywhere you are in Makkah, your
kibla is in the Haram. You face the
Haram, wherever the Haram is, that's where the
kibla is. Right? As you go, as you
like you know like you zoom in and
zoom out, and then as you zoom out,
like you come out of Makkah.
You see, here's the the qiblah, you know.
It's actually Makkah, like the the Kaaba is
right there, and then we see Makkah is
right there.
So, when you come out or you zoom
out of Makkah, where's your kiblah? Your kiblah
becomes Makkah.
When you go to,
come to Canada, where's the Qibla?
Makkah.
And Makkah is huge like you know when
you say Oakville. Oakville is big. Where is,
Al Falah Hamazjid? Al Falah is in the
north
or south?
No. Northwest or If I'm in the south,
so it is on the northeast. You know
what I'm saying, right? Northeast, southeast, southwest, whatever.
No.
So, then, but when you come out of
Oakville, if let's say the Qibla is Oakville.
When you go to Montreal, where is the
kiblah? The kiblah is, is no longer Al
Falah. The kiblah is Oakville.
When
you come out from Makkah, your kiblah is
Makkah. And when you come out of this
entire earth, where is the qibla? When you
go up to the moons.
There's moons. There's only one. When you come
out, when you go to the moon, when
is your qibla? The qibla is on earth.
Anywhere you face, that's where the face of
Allah. That's where the qibla is. Waqalu, and
the alizajah moves from there, and they say,
they say, Waqalu takadallahu
walada.
The Israeli, they said,
Arusaybul Allah.
The Christians, they say, Al Masihabullah,
Waqalu takhadallahuwalaada,
and here I'm gonna bring in some really
nice examples that we can all relate to.
Especially to those who, let's say, celebrate Christmas.
Those who celebrate Christmas
is an indication that you are in the
in the same path like in the belief
that Allah has walad.
And, they claim that Allah has a son.
I don't believe that Allah has a son
but I celebrate Christmas with them. That's what
they are doing
basically.
Subhanah.
He cannot be God. Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. How
can he have a son?
Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Why?
Why Allah cannot have a son subhanahu wa
ta'ala. This is the difference between us and
them. The main difference is they say Al
Masih Abnullah.
They say Ruzair Abnullah. We say
Is
the main difference.
We say Allah is
Allah
is They say Allah has got a son.
We say,
And, this is their Tawhid.
Their Tawhid.
It's not Tawhid actually. This is their trinity.
Right?
The the the trinity.
The,
the Lord.
The
which is,
Jibril
or which is the what they call it,
arroch is Jibril and then al Yasur which
is Isa. You know, this is the they
call it tree in 1 and 1 in
3. Can you understand?
Can we Muslims cannot understand. They are the
only ones who can and cannot understand. Even
they cannot understand.
Even when they try to explain it to
you, they know they are making no sense.
How can 3 be in 1 and 1
be in 3?
Did you ever understand this?
SubhanAllah.
SubhanAllah. Praise be to him. How can he?
SubhanAllah.
To him belong that which is in the
heavens and earth. What does Allah mean by
here?
Those who are in the heavens who? The
angels.
They worship him.
They belong to him. And
I
and the and all.
So, those who are on Earth and those
who are in the heavens they all belong
to him
If they were to say Allah has a
son, there's a big problem here. What is
the problem? When you have a son
you have a son. I know you have
a son.
But what happens to you? You have a
son, your son becomes what? Becomes your?
What if?
The one who inherits
from you,
he would inherit you. This is what a
son is. A daughter, whatever a son, he
inherits after you.
So, when you say Allah is a son,
somebody's gonna inherit
Allah is the supreme inheritor. Allah, one of
his name is
Alwarif, the supreme inheritor. What does that mean
for Allah to be Alwarif? We're all gonna
die and everything goes back to Allah, the
supreme inheritor.
You,
I, if I were to pass away and
then I have a son, my my son
will inherit whatever
estate I have left behind me.
But for Allah, Allah
Allah is the all Allah, is the all
living, he doesn't die. Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So
when they say Allah has a son,
in itself it's a, you know, it it
it's an argument that they cannot make any
sense of. And then Allah says,
Badiyu,
he is the originator of the heavens and
earth. How can he have a son? How
can he be got or get begotten subhanahu
wa ta'ala? Badiyu,
he's the originator
of the heavens and earth.
When he will something, all he has to
say is b
and it is. You know, his order is
between
2 letters,
means
bee
and it is.
That's all he has to say
If he will something, he will just say
So Allah here when he says,
Please understand, this is a very nice something
that I have searched a lot to bring
this, you know, beautiful understanding of this particular
ayah. Allah
has two types of commands.
We have a a a, universal,
command
and then you have a religious command.
2 things,
universal command
be entities.
Universal command.
He's the no one has no the only
difference between universal command
and religious command is
What is
a choice.
Universal command, you have no choice.
Death, you have no choice.
Life, you have no choice.
Alqaddah, you have no choice.
The decree of Allah, it meant to have
you have no choice.
Allah has decreed something, it will happen.
Allah did not decree for that thing, it
shall not happen. This is universal
commands. He is the only one who
decrees
and makes decisions.
But then you have
command.
A religious command.
Such as what?
And to You have the choice.
Allah orders you to give back the amana
to those who they belong to.
Allah orders you to return the amana. But
it is your choice. You wanna return it?
Allah orders you to return it. You don't
wanna return it? It's your choice.
Allah orders justice and Ihsan. It's your choice.
Allah orders you to be just. Allah orders
you to be to be
to do ihsan, excel in anything that you
do. It's your choice to be idle, to
be just or not to be just. It's
your choice. This is religious command
versus
universal command.
It's religious command or,
or universal command?
Establish the prayers and pay the zakat.
Religious.
You choose to pray or not to pray.
It's your choice.
Whereas,
Al Mallad, you got sick.
I have no this is not your
can the doctor heal you, by the way?
The doctor can heal?
The doctor can cure you? Can the doctor
cure you?
Can the doctor give you shifa?
No. The doctor is Amin.
You go to the doctor when you get
sick, but it is not the doctor who
can give you the healing. The healing comes
from Allah Shafi.
When I get sick, he is the one
who gives me shifa. Who's it that? Ibrahim
alaihis salam.
See? This is
This is a command that is that is
universal.
Right?
The one who harm is Allah. The one
who benefit is Allah.
It is not your boss who benefits you.
It is not your enemy who harms you.
It all happens with the order of Allah
This is
The victory comes from
from Allah. This is
universal.
I do what I'm supposed to, but if
I need to seek
help, you know, and seek victory,
the only one who can give me victory
is?
And then the others, Allah subhanahu wa'anhu says
this, those who have no knowledge.
Those who have no knowledge.
They say,
This is not quite the this ayah,
it it this ayah was revealed when certain,
Munafiqeen,
they came to Rasulullah and they say that
as in to Muhammad
They went to the prophet, this hypocrisy say,
if you claim your prophet, let Allah talk
to us.
Let Allah talk to us directly. Just like
the when they said Musa, they told Musa,
we want to talk to Allah. Let Allah
talk to us.
And those who don't know, those who have
no knowledge, they say,
If Allah was to talk to us or
to speak to us
or can bring some miracle to us.
Muhammad, these people whatever they're saying to you,
are the prophets who have been told the
same thing.
You know, like Muwuzal, he's been told the
same thing.
The same was said and then Allah Subhan
said, Their hearts are the same. The hearts
of these people, the hypocrites, and the heart
of those people sick who went to the
mosque and told him, they are the same
hearts.
And then,
Allah answers to them.
This is a clear indication
and the talk is coming directly from Allah.
We
we There's
have surely We are the one who sent
you. Who sent Muhammad? Is he Isn't it,
you know, an answer to Allah From Allah
to them, we are the ones. It is
Allah who sent down Muhammad. It is Allah
who sent Muhammad
It is not them. He is not a
liar. It is not like, it is Allah
who sent him as a prophet.
By the truth, Allah
set him with the truth.
And Nadeel, given glad tidings
and also the,
and warnings,
So Muhammad when he came in, he came,
to deliver the good news and also to
give a warning to those non believers.
Good news to the believers and warnings to
non believers. So,
Who is the speaker here?
Who is the speaker? Who is talking here?
Allah. We.
So this is,
no one has sent you Muhammad
except us.
Indeed you are a prophet.
And then brothers and sisters, the following ayah,
as previously,
we talked about
these people, the non believers,
these 2 groups,
they wouldn't they would this is what will
please them, things that will please them, and
things that will not please them. So Allah
here comes back and they say in this
other ayah,
confirming.
And then here Allah explicitly
mentions who
They shall not be pleased.
You Muhammad.
The address here is to Muhammad. But something
like this, when it is addressed to prophet
Muhammad, it is addressed to the ummah of
Rasulullah.
We can't just say that the address is
only for Muhammad alaihi wa sallam, but the
address in here is to the ummah of
Rasulullah.
What is
Allah
is
saying?
Really?
Even we work with them and they hug
us and they tell us how much they
love us and they bring us gifts and
they pay us and this and this and
that
and they shall not be pleased with
Muhammad.
Until when?
Until when? Until you follow their path.
They celebrate this, you celebrate it with them.
They follow this, follow it with them.
Until you follow their faith.
Until when? Until you leave Islam.
This is what they want. Then they will
be pleased.
Until you leave the religion of Rasulullah. Until
you disbelieve in Rasulullah,
then they will be pleased.
And by the way, even if
the between them, there are disagreements, there are
conflicts. But when it comes to the Muslims,
they get together.
This is how it is.
There are certain conflicts between the disagreements.
And these disagreements are in aqidah.
But when it comes to Islam against the
Muslims,
they get together.
Unitarians
amongst them. The Unitarians.
Those who believe in the oneness of Allah.
Here, listen, listen. Hadith Rasulullah.
And, this is a message to some Muslims,
a lot of Muslims.
Women.
The prophet
says, you would follow the path
of,
those before you
inch by inch.
Inch by inch.
They did this just step by step, inch
by inch,
step by step. So much so if they
were to enter
the the,
the hole of a lizard, you will follow
them.
The Sahaba said, the Jews and the and
the Christians, The prophet says, then who else?
Who else?
Of course, that's what I'm talking about.
You will follow them blindly
and you see that a lot nowadays.
Blindly.
It's fun.
It's fun to do trick and treat.
It's fun. Right? It's it's only fun. You
have hijab and you're going around collecting candy.
But
even if they were to enter a hole
of a lizard, you will follow them. That's
exactly what it is.
Follow them blindly.
Don't
some us, we don't even know the history
behind these practices.
And you will find that amongst them, there's
certain people who don't practice these these types
of, of celebrations.
There's amongst them people who don't even practice
the birth of Jesus because they know that
the birth of Jesus was not in December,
And it cannot have been in December.
Yet,
it's a business.
Even at the time of Rasulullah,
Quraysh did not believe in the prophet or
they did not want people to believe in
Rasulullah. You think because,
they knew the truth. They know that this
man is going to destroy
all their idols,
that's their bread and butter.
Isn't it? That's their business.
360 idols in the Kaaba.
Each tribe has its own idol stored in
the Kaaba. Why?
It's a treaty that they have written with
Qalash. All these other tribes,
let our merchandise, our caravan go through without
being attacked and then you you Arabs as
we pass by, so instead
because the Arabs college they do business,
college they do trade. So, they travel a
lot. So, we go through these different types
of, different, villages or different tribes. So, as
we go through your tribe, please don't attack
us. In return, we're gonna take one of
your idols and put it inside the the
Kaaba.
The Kaaba.
The Kaaba, they used to honor the Kaaba.
So this is a treaty, this is business.
Comes this man, Muhammad,
all these are to be destroyed. That means
this is our bread and butter.
So here,
it's all business. Krish, you know, this Christmas
and New Year's and this and that. New
Year's, you know how much money gets spent
on New Year's?
Christmas and all this. And the prophet
Muhammad,
The Judaism, they have a millah. It's not
a religion. It's a millah.
It's a it's a faith
Because there's only one religion. Do you know
this brothers or you don't know that?
If you don't know, well, no.
Now you know. From the Quran, there's only
one religion.
Al Islam.
Aisha was a Muslim.
Musa was a Muslim. Before them, Nuh was
a Muslim.
Ibrahim was a Muslim.
The disciples of Aisha, they were Muslims.
And I will tell you the ayat from
the Quran.
But what what, what what are those they
are
different past and faith.
But it's not a religion. There's only one
religion because Allah says,
in Allah
and Islam.
The religion that Allah
has brought forth is Al Islam.
The,
and by the way, here's something interesting here
brothers. And my sisters are here. And those
who are online,
you know, welcome here.
The conflict between us and them, it is
not about
borders.
Don't think or don't be mistaken.
It's never about
borders or countries or
the conflict between
the Muslims and the others
is about Aqidah.
It's about the Mu'tad.
They will come they have a problem, like
I mentioned, between a conflict between the Christians
and the others.
But then when it comes to Islam, Islam
is a it's
a
They will get together
and form their
coalition
against something called Islam.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says this.
And this is why I kept saying earlier,
they said Nasala, they said and
then
the the the the
the the the the the the the the
the the the the the the they said
we said
he's why, he's our main difference. We said
Allah. They
say We said Allah, they say
That's it.
He said,
to about his disciples.
Muslim
This is the conversation between Asa and the
disciples.
Who are the supporters?
Who are my those who will know my
disciples? The disciples they said, how are you?
And they said,
we are the answer of Allah.
We believe in Allah.
We believe in Allah. We believe in Allah.
You isa. Ishhad. You isa. You isa. Bear
witness. And the Muslimoon.
We are Muslims.
So they are Muslims.
Yaqub.
Was Yaqub a Muslim? His children
Who is the father?
Yaqub is Who's Yaqub? Ishaq. Ishaq is, I'm
sorry. Is Isla'il?
Yaqub is Isla'il. Who are his children?
Okay.
He's telling his children, who are you going
to worship after me? They said, we shall
worship your
your father
worship the God of your father.
You
you God and the God of your forefathers.
Ibrahim. Not only your god, the god of
your forefathers Ibrahim or Ishmael is
Only one god.
Who? Muslim and with Muslims.
With Muslims. So they're Muslims. Who else?
Muslim?
Yes. Muslim. And what is Islam?
Submission to Allah.
You submit
to Allah.
Islam.
And I was ordered to be from the
Muslims, Yusuf.
Yusuf was a Muslim.
Yusuf was a Muslim.
Before I die, I want to die as
a Muslim.
Let me join the righteous.
So when I die, I want to die
as a Muslim. Muslim
Musa
Musa was a Muslim.
Musa
was
a
Muslim.
Musa told his, his,
followers
If you were if you were to believe
in Allah
put your trust in him
if you are truly Muslims.
So there's only one religion here,
is Islam.
And this
here, the when Allah says here,
with regard to,
you know, this that we're talking
So here, this in
the Quran is to the prophet
this addressing
that Allah is addressing Muhammad
and he's addressing the of Rasulullah
and to the Allah says,
They will only be pleased with you until
you follow their
Millah. Allah says, their Millah. What is their
Millah?
Their faith.
Actually, you follow their faith.
Why?
Why brothers, why?
So until you follow their path,
so when Allah says, in the
Islam,
what the deen is to Allah Allah has
brought is the Islam is Islam.
If if somebody is, you know, was married
and then he is a he is a
Muslim
but his children became,
non Muslims, non believers.
His wife.
Does she inherit from him? No.
It does not inherit. Why? There is no
inheritance between or a father who's a non
Muslim
and then his children turn to be Muslim.
You Allah. The opposite.
None can inherit from the other. Why? Because
to inherit
both
the father and the children they have to
be Muslims.
If the father is a Muslim, the children
are not a Muslim or the father is
not Muslim and the children are Muslim, they
cannot inherit from their father. What do they
do with the money? What do they do
with the money? They take the money. You
know, you take them but you cannot inherit
from the
And the the inheritance, when you take the
money and the money
depending on the government, the country that you
live in. But when you talk about the
rulings of the inheritance,
the the children they take maybe the, you
know, like the one half and the the
the one sixth and the 1 third and
this this and this and that. It does
not apply to them in this in this,
in this manner.
Tell them, yeah, Muhammad.
And this is the message to you and
I and all of us here.
Tell them, and you tell them, and say
it out loud, and be proud of it.
The true guidance, the guidance of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
The true guidance and the guidance of Allah,
tell them, go and be proud of yourself,
and be proud that you're Muslim,
and say, means say. Say to whom? To
them.
To them, tell them that the only guidance
it is not the this milah, it is
not this fillet of faith. The only guidance
is the guidance of Allah.
Why are you shy to say it? Say
it and be proud of it.
Mhmm.
SubhanAllah.
And this is why I mentioned earlier
those who celebrate these,
non Muslim
celebrations,
especially that have celebrations that have to do
with with the Aqidah.
You are definitely,
you know, you are,
as if you believe that Allah has a
child.
Or Allah has a son.
So be careful of this. You know, Christmas
And then comes the question about Sheikh, at
work, they give me at the end or
no, not that Christmas time, they bring us,
gifts. Shall I take that gift or no?
And I cannot And I'm shy to say
no. Shall I reject the gift?
What should you do now?
Your boss brings you a gift.
Christmas.
Merry merry
merry
merry
merry John merry John
merry Christmas.
What are you gonna reply? What are you
gonna say?
If you're shy,
you're shy.
You're gonna take that,
Thank you, sir.
Happy Holidays.
Yeah. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. I wish you
all the best. I wish you all the
guidance.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wish you I wish
you the best to to be guided. Yeah.
I wish you all the guidance.
And, if they give you well, I thank
you so much, but that gift, even if
the if you depending on your that scenario,
you don't wanna take it or they impose
it on you,
get rid of it.
I would get rid of it. I would
not keep it.
Because
this gift, what's
the what's the purpose? What's the point? Yeah.
We're celebrating something as a company, we're doing
well this year and you Oh. You're taught
to share the bonus with us. Oh. Oh.
I love
that. But, no. We're not sharing no bonus
with you. This is a Christmas,
gift, Christmas bonus. Now it becomes tough one.
Now it comes to Sheikh. Sheikh, There is
a fatwa here. I need the fatwa. I
need the money, Sheikh Allah.
If only they can change the term instead
of saying it's a Christmas bonus,
say,
bonus.
Say anything, but don't mention Christmas bonus. Because
I need the money.
But I didn't You're gonna go for a
fetchway shopping right there.
Aren't you?
You're gonna go fetchway shopping because you need
the money.
Sometimes Allah puts us in this,
situations where you have to make a sit,
you know, a choice just like Musa alaihi
salaam. I has to side between
Musa, between the Egyptian or between the Islaili.
If I side with the Islaili, I'm losing
everything.
If I say it with the with the
with the Egyptian,
then I'm wrong. I'm I'm I'm valid.
It's a tough situation,
you know. So, depending on your iman,
make the right decision.
Can you, take the money and put it
in sadaqah?
Uh-huh. This is this is where the fitwa
comes in like the shopping. Can I take
the money and put it in a in
a in a
just like the one who works in a
liquor store?
And then he brings the money sadaqah to
the masjid.
Sheikh, this is, my my zakah.
Wallah.
Wallah.
They bring zakah. This is the zakat of.
What mal? What is your, your income comes
I rented liquor store. You you you're the
one who told us about someone Hey, when
I'm in San Francisco, he

To another Muslim.
He sold his liquor store to another Muslim.
Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's true
story. I think you're still
For for someone it's called
stalls owned by Muslims.
This is really like,
just tell, say, say.
The true guidance. You wanna be you want
the true guidance, you want to be guided?
The true guidance comes from Allah, not from
them.
And be proud of it. Just like Rabeb
Nuhamed.
Who's Rabeb Nuhamed?
That Sahabi
who came to face,
Alustam,
the leader of, of Persia.
When Said Nabi Waqas
sent a, sent him to negotiate some terms
of peace between the Muslims and Persia because
they were a huge war to say to
spare the war,
so he sent someone to negotiate some,
you know, terms for peace.
So comes in this man on his donkey
and then Oostom is sitting in his,
throne and with his crown and
and on this pillows and
had it like a velvets and and silk
and gold.
But this guy goes with his spear and
then he puts, you know, like he tours
the out tears apart, all these pillows and
all and carpets and
and then,
and then he's tried to come to to,
Rustum,
to agitate him a little bit and he
says, you Muslims,
You you Muslims, you're, you don't know any
civilization that is,
as low as yours compared to the Roman
civilization and the Indian civilization and the Greek
civilization
civilization. You're a bunch of shepherds.
So he's trying to provoke him. You're just
shepherds.
Yeah. He says, you're right. You're right. But
look how proud he was. He says, but
But Allah has sent us for a purpose.
He has sent us to bring people out
from worshiping people to worshiping Allah.
He brought us out to bring people, you
know, from worshiping this dunya to the akhirah.
Their aim and the concern should be.
We're not here for this dunya. If
Allah has sent us for with a mission.
Islam. And he brought us to bring people
out from the tightness of this dunya to
the vastness of the.
He brought us out to bring people from
the from the,
the, atrocities
and the the injustice of other religions to
the justice of of of of Islam.
Islam.
This is why we're here. We have a
mission.
And he was proud
to say it.
And he says, listen. And I give you
3 days
to make up your mind.
3 days.
Either become Muslim
or we meet in the battlefield.
Look at the lion
and you have 3 days.
Starts now.
Say the truth, the guidance is guidance that
comes from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The
hoodah. The hoodah comes from Allah subhanahu wa'anahu
wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu
wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu
wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'anahu wa'a'ala.
The
milah or that milah. The true goddess comes
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Because our mizan,
our mizan, you and I is.
The Quran and the son of the prophet
Muhammad alayhi salatu salam
That's it.
Every
is in darkness and every
darkness is in hellfire.
You you and my
will rule by
Allah has said and prophet Muhammad has said.
I will end here because this is
the You know, this avoid.
Disavoid. Why?
There's a warning right here, not just to
the prophet Muhammad Rasoolallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Tall,
very
just like Ibrahim alaihi wa sallam,
Where where where
innocent from what you're worshiping and what you're
doing. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, this prophet
Muhammad, and if you were to follow the
despite
all that's been been the that you've been
getting and the and the evidence,
You shall have no guardian,
no help, and no nasir.
The one who gives nusrah, the one who
gives victory.
No one can give you victory if Allah
does not give you victory. No one can
help you if Allah does not wanna help
you.
Who is Al Wali? This is the name
of Allah Azarjar Al Wali, the guardian.
The one who can really It's not your
boss. It is not your husband or your
wife or your La, la, la, la. It
is not that bodyguard that you have who
will protect you. It is not that doctor
The only true wali,
guardian is the one who will protect you
is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ar.
This is what prophet Muhammad told
the
Ali Salam, he told Bin Abbas,
Be mindful of Allah. Allah shall protect you.
Be mindful of Allah. Allah shall be with
you. If you ask, ask Allah.
If you seek refuge from something, seek refuge
from Allah. And rest to know rest assured
that if the entire Ummah,
the only one who can give you victory
is Allah. If the entire Ummah come together
to benefit you, and Allah doesn't want to
benefit you, you should not be benefited.
And, if they come together to harm you,
and Allah does not want to harm you,
you should not be harmed.
So, put your trust in Allah.
Comes from
is Allah
And then Allah moves to another beautiful ayat
talking about Al Qur'an.
And the difference between people who read the
Qur'an and people who recite the Qur'an, and
people who apply what's in the Qur'an.
Why did you become Hafid?
Why did you become Hafid?
Those who recite the Quran,
when they recite it, the haqq of the
tilawah. Because the Quran has haqq.
What is the haqq of the Quran?
What
is the haqq of the Quran? Do you
know the Quran has haqq? My father has
haqq upon me.
My mother has hack upon me. My children
they have hack upon me.
You have hack upon me. And I have
hack upon you.
We have hack upon one another.
The Quran also has Haqq upon you and
I. What is the Haqq of the Quran?
Hey.
Next week, Insha'Allah.
Next week we'll talk about that and then
we will jump to
Ibrahim and the relationship between Ben Usoir and
Ibrahim.
Yeah. What does that I know and then
it comes to Ibrahim
and the and the,
the path of Ibrahim
Hanif and Mustima,
and the dua of Ibrahim alaihis salam. The
dua of Ibrahim to bring in Muhammad
The dua of that man and then comes
in his children of, you know, of
which
we mentioned earlier before
was to was to die. All this will
come in right after, you know,
this, it's a new chapter, and then we
will we'll finish the
the first Jews of Surat Al Baqarah and
then we'll start the second Jews Insha'Allah Ta'ala
if Allah wills.
Questions
or comments?
For Muslims, Isaiah is a prophet or
For? For Muslims. Who? The The is no,
he's not a son of Allah, he's a
Rasool.
Yeah. Or Nabi.
So, as one of the you should attend
the nation builders
my, program here on Fridays. We talk about
the stories of the prophets.
So, the Uzzaid is not a is not
a, you know, Astaghfullah,
Uzzaid is a prophet. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Any questions?
They're 2 different things. Car is a lot
easier than traveling on a plane. Right?
I travel a lot, so I know.
So you have several options. If it's a
short
range flight or if it's a long haul.
If it's a short and when you're traveling,
you could do
you could do combining the until you reach
the place that you're going to. Let's say
I'm going to Montreal.
Montreal is a short flight, it's about an
hour and a half, so you could wait
until you pray there. Now, it's time.
Times, I can pray when I go to
Montreal, so I can combine and Asia.
That's easy.
Can I pray before traveling?
But it's not reached when you were in
the plane.
You see? I cannot pray before because one
of the obligatory actions of the salah, the
entering of the time, the Khululwakt.
The Khululwakt is one of the obligatory,
you know, components of the salah. So, you
cannot pray before all those
said that maybe you can if you're taking
a long flight and it's and, you know,
one be able, so some said, best
in general,
you have to wait for the entry of
the time. The time came in where you
are in the plane,
So, I can wait until I reach my
destination and then combine the salah.
Now, it's a long flight.
If I were to wait, let's say I
when I flew from here to Australia,
2 days.
So, you have to go to,
Vancouver and then from Vancouver
you catch another flight 16 hours
to let's say Melbourne. By 16 hours you
fly Monday, you reach day
Wednesday.
You you lose of a day is gone
in the air because of the time change.
So, what you gonna do now? You have
24 hours of salah, 2 days of salah
in fact. This is where you do your
timing
based on whatever the timing.
It's salah time, it's Maghrib time, it's Duhr
time, this is where you combine the salawat.
This is where the best time to combine
salawat, Dhuhr al Hasal, Maghrib Bin Isha, do
Fazar
and then again combine the other salawats.
But then the question is then how do
I face the kibla? Where is the kibla?
At least if you're on the Saudi airline
or Qatar airline, there's this, you know, the
screens and then they show you what the
kibla is. So, when you say combined salawat,
you mean all salawat, one shot? No, no,
no, I didn't say all the salawat in
one shot. Combining the salah, Duhol with Asal
and Magalib with Asa.
Yeah.
Yeah. Magalib and, Asia together, so you do
Magalib and Asa at the time of Magalib
or at the time of Asa.
And then at the time of Duhor or
at the time of of Asal.
Right?
You can combine and shorten the salawat.
So now comes in the kebla.
Where is the
Qiblah? I asked you flight attendant. Yeah, sir.
What is the Qiblah?
She will go announce to the pilot to
say, we have a terrorist with us. He's
asking for Mecca.
Just tell you can nicely tell them I'm
a Muslim
and I need to do my prayers.
And SubhanAllah, I noticed with with Muslim Airlines,
sometimes you will find problems that you would
not find with non with non Muslims Airlines.
Non Muslim airlines,
they respect you.
They bring you the
the carpet, the whatever, the garage or something.
They put it and then they they they
shut down the curtains, then they let you
pray, they don't bother you, man.
Wallah. And then the other one is it?
Pray sitting.
Pray sitting.
We have a pray sitting. That's your fatwa.
I don't believe in that. And then my
fatwa is to pray. No. So I can't
stand the whole time. It's okay with you.
But when I do, I'll know how to
have a problem with that. And it kills
me in a hurry. It kills me, man.
So here's the thing, you don't want to
do it in such a way that you
are in a confrontation between them. You do
it in a nice way. So,
the sign is out, it's fine. I mean,
I can't stand up, go and move on.
Babe, I will find, where's the pibla? Try
to, you know, where's the south, where's the
east, where's the It's easy easy, you can
ask the pilot, tell them, where's the where's
Mecca? Where's the east? Whatever. Depending where you
are.
If you are able to find where the
is, great. If
not, anywhere you face, that is
the But you try.
Should you stand or sit?
Stand or sit.
They are serving food. Play it wisely. I'm
not gonna go in at the time where
I'm gonna stop them and there. There's a,
I'm gonna wait until maybe they should have
the light, until they are sitting, they're eating,
you know, the flight attendants, they observe the
food. So it's the it's clear. Then go
and do your salah.
It's clear. Depends on the plane, on the
aircraft, then you can go somewhere and do
your salah.
Nobody will bother you. Nobody will bother you.
You can stand,
And you can pray. And since you're doing
it's chicken.
This Moroccan man.
It's not like a head or like a
*. It's not like a head or like
a *. It's not
plane is full Mhmm.
It's not possible. It's possible.
Okay?
Possible. Why? Because I've done it. Even the
place is over full. You go somewhere
in the back, in somewhere
by the other where you can do it.
When the even a small plane.
Even a small plane I have done it.
In the back or in the front.
I ask permission
as they're going, you know, with their carts.
Can I just borrow here just
1 minute, 2 minutes? And they respect and
do my salah standing. This is me.
It's up to you. That's enemy.
I can do it.
But I picked the right time for doing
it, so I don't cause them any
any disturbance. Yes.
Alright. It's don't cause any disturbance.
The light is on, the pain is is
like
shaking.
And
that where? Right where the door is.
The door that's a that's a I mean,
that is now they're gonna come and kick
you. They don't need no. So you pay
the Muslims smart. Or as soon as you
take off, Allahu Akbar. They used to do
it.
They used to go and stand one after
another, 111-111
in the in the aisle. So the the
airline made rules, you know, who don't know,
they sit and pray. You know.
They close in the hall.
No. You have to do it with do
it with And then sometimes, oh, Sheikh you're
praying and they come and join me. No.
Please.
The the most is if I am in
order sometimes like the 787 or 777.
77 in the middle, there is a like
a
like a like a kind of a
little not even a space. It's a walk
through.
Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Between the 9. The
middle, there's a had it has 2 2
curtains. You can close the curtains and it
becomes like Musalah.
Yeah. And you can pray there standing.
Airplane full, it doesn't matter.
Yeah. So
if you can, if you cannot,
You can sit and pray and you try
it. But at least when you stand and
pray,
here's another problem people do.
And this I know this, you know, with
studying of all the by the way.
And
the
should I be seated? Now you stand.
You stand
for
and the fatty Haj before you sit.
And, you know, finish the then you may
say, I don't want to do because I
don't wanna embarrass myself. You wanna stand, I
might as well go stand in the back.
Then go stand in the back and pray.
But I'm giving you all the options, now
it's
it's your choice.
I have another question.
You can We can serve the tea because
it's almost 9:15.
Best serve the tea only those who came
and those who are here.
No tea for anybody who
how do you calculate the timing
depending on the country of the FPR trade
take off or the
I don't know exactly.
Good sleep. Good sleep.
Take this. Give me the other
one. Here. This is yours.
Where's yours?
The one I gave you.
Yours.
The last one.
It's for you?
So quickly Insha Allah, the quick question about
the timing. The timing. Right? The timing, you
have to assess the timing. Is it like
depending on,
you know, like you're traveling.
So if it's a long flight, let's say
we're traveling, let's say to
Vancouver,
right? To Middle East. To the Middle East.
Say, to the
Middle
East. When you travel from here, so you
go with the time of like the plane,
the pilot tells you what time is it
now in the location where we're now. You
can ask that question, they will tell you.
At this time, here at this place we
are
2 o'clock. We are this time. We're we're
with regard to the Duhr al Asr but
Maghrib Mathal and easy. Maghrib is like when
you see the, you know, the the sun
is setting
and then you see that reddish color and
what else you understand that it is, time.
So, you can wait until it becomes totally
dark so you don't make no mistakes and
combine and Asia. There is no problem there.
The only thing is with regard and there
is no problem. Sunrise, you see the daylight
it becomes,
the horizontal not the vertical.
You know, the true not the
then you pray Fazal, then you just
you can ask, depending where the location that
I am in. If he says it's, you
know, Duhal is at 1:30.
Is at 1:30. He say he tells you
it's, where we are now is 145.
You know it's Duhal.
Right? Or you can pray or you can
delay until Dothot time, depending where you are.
But
he does not know the timing, actually. So
exactly by the time the timing ask ask
for
time, all the salawat are close to each
other, so you combine them quickly. No. No.
Like you in the world, let's say the
snow or it's raining. No. Anybody in the
car?
So this is again exceptions. We're talking about
exceptions. If I'm snowing and there's nowhere I
can pray, like this in TikTok,
and he is making sujood in the in
the hood, in the mission hood, in the
back.
Trunk.
Trunk. Yeah. He's standing and then he goes
inside, jumps and he makes it inside
the
trunk.
No. But let's say it's snowing, there's nowhere,
there's no, there's no rest area, maybe try
to find a rest area. There's no rest
area and I'm traveling and it's chalasse and
the time is Asar. That's the best question
would be Asar. Asar is it's almost
and I did not pray Asar.
That's not the exception.
It's all like a
Wallahi, you can pray still in Ufon, you
can pray in the I did it. My
first
