Riyadul Haqq

The Madinan Society: A Tafsir of Surat al-Ḥujurat Part 9/12
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 30th September 2016 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester (UK)

After the Prophet and his companions emigrated to Medina, Allah revealed laws with which Muslims must abide by so that they may live together peacefully. This Surat serves as a prime example of such intricate laws that detail not just how people should behave with one another, but how they should speak and think about each other.

This lesson expands on the previous lesson and goes further into describing how a Muslim should think about another Muslim. In order to reform our tongues we must also reform our minds so that we are free from judging others and creating false thoughts about them. Purity of the mind will lead to purity of the tongue.

This lesson also details the progression of how backbiting starts and how to cut out this bad habit from the root.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			the seed commentary of sort of
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			last week we reached the end of verse number 11.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:27
			In which last panel with Allah speaks of the prohibition of mocking, taunting
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:34
			one another and calling out to one another with offensive names
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			and labels.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:48
			This verse wasn't in isolation, but it follows the previous verse in which Allah says in the middle
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			Firstly, who've been awakened, what the law
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:01
			that the believers are but two brothers. So reconcile your two brothers.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			And be wary of Allah in the hope that you you may receive mercy.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			And then Allah says, oh, believers do not mock one another. So
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:23
			what this clearly shows is that this is the method of achieving and realizing that brotherhood.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:40
			Not by me a slogans but by implementing the teachings of a law and is it a source of the law legal
system. And first and foremost, is that the believer should avoid those things which break the bonds
of brotherhood.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:47
			And the law begins with three sins. They're all sins of the tongue,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:57
			mocking one another, taunting one another, and calling out to one another with offensive titles,
labels and names.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:09
			Following on from that, that was the end of the last verse and following on from that in the 12th of
this last panel with the AMA continues with first.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			And just as in the previous verse, he mentions three Sins of the tongue.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			In the following verse, he mentions three sins.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:30
			One of them is clearly to do with the tongue. One of them has clearly to do with the heart and man
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			and one involves the heart, the mind,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			the body, and even the tongue.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:57
			So what are the three sins? And again, these three sins aren't mentioned at random? But they
consistently and continuously follow on from the previous three sins, all of which break the bonds
of brotherhood.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:05
			So Allah azza wa jal says, Yeah levina homage then he walked through the middle one
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			What are the
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			He Matan. fuckery
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:22
			law in the law, the wobbel Rahim. Allah says all believers
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:25
			abstain
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			from excessive speculation.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32
			Indeed,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			some conjecture is a sin
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			and do not
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			spy
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			or rather, do not searched for faults.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			And do not backbite one
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			would one of you wish
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			that he conceived
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			The flesh
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			of his dead brother.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			So be wary of Allah. Indeed Allah is off relenting.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			Most Merciful. That's a translation of the verse.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:29
			If we can systematically go through the verse l'affaire says all believers refrain from excessive
lung
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:42
			cathedra Milan refrain from abstain from excessive lunch. So, what that then means speculation,
conjecture, guesswork.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:50
			And in the context of this discussion, what it refers to is
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			forming an opinion.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			Think thinking something, believing something, imagining something,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:11
			without evidence is speculation and conjecture, but this is more to do with other people.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			Since this is in the context of brotherhood, so, do not
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:25
			imagining things about one another, do not resort to speculation and conjecture.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			A believer has to
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			develop a carrot,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			which is just
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			an approach
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			which is very balanced.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			And that means a believer has thoughts or balance about everything.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			One shouldn't be irrational.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			But one should form one's opinions
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:03
			on reason, on the basis of evidence, on proof
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:13
			and one should side with the truth side with the proof as the last season of verse one Oh ALLAH and
faucet.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:22
			Yeah, you have the vena cava Mina bill, this Shahada de la What are other unphysical
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			that oh believe believers
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			be establishes
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			of ob upholders of justice,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			witnesses, for the sake of Allah?
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:46
			What do I learn, even though this testimony may be against yourselves?
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:54
			All right, no one could have been, or even against one's parents and relatives.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			So if the if the evidence is there,
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:05
			then one shouldn't be bigoted, even if it means that one has to accept about oneself that I am
wrong.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:23
			So I believe it should have this character of justice of standing for the truth with the truth,
relying on evidence, not some hearsay gossip, or mere speculation conjecture.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			one's thoughts must be correct and pure.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:37
			And when one starts thinking too much, one can even think ill of Allah.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:52
			And it's true in these late Obama mojari La Jolla a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that la
has the original essays, and are in the one NAB dB. It's a very beautiful long study.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:07
			And they're in the London Adibi. What an American who is advocating for in the Quran either Kotaku
Venus in the Quran in Phoenix at the Kotaku field of sea we're in the currently female to female
environment.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			We're in the corner of LA.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:21
			to Colorado corrupt to lay there are ways to curb a run to corrupt to LA Heba. Wayne attorney MC
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:34
			Carson de la Vallejo, seldom female here we are upbeat about Cortana Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam says Allah says, I am with my servant as he thinks of me.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			Literally, I am
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			with the fall
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			of my servant army.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			And I am with him when he remembers me.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			So if he remembers me in his knifes in a soul,
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			then I remember him in my soul
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:06
			If you remembers me in a gathering, than I remember him in a gathering, which is far better than
that gathering.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:11
			And if he draws close to me,
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			by one span
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			I draw closer to Him by cubits.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			And if he comes close to me by a cubits,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			I come close to him by to arm's length.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			And if he comes to me walk, I go to him running.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:57
			This is edito. So he will have. So the beginning of the headache is what concerns us today. The last
panel with Allah says, In the lunaire, Db, I am with my servants thought of me, which simply means
that as he thinks of me, I shall be with him. The meaning is,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			if he
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			entertains a good opinion of me
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			of mercy,
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			of hope,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			of love, affection,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			affection, fulfilling my promise,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			then I will be just as he thinks.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			But if he thinks ill,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			if he despairs, loses hope,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:37
			and teens, il four, and we do, why isn't Allah answering my prayers?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			Why isn't Allah giving me what I want?
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:51
			Why isn't Allah doing for me what I thought he would be, or he should be, and so on.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:58
			So if one entertains such ill thought about Allah, thoughts of despair,
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			even in bereavement,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:18
			many in their panic in the pain of their bereavement, and in their rash moments. And as an immediate
reaction to their suffering and pain, they often bless me.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:27
			Why does the law take my beloved away from me, you could be a parent, it could be a sibling or a
child.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:46
			And of course, later people realize but as that lady was by a grave, she was weeping. And not only
was she weeping, but she was in a state
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:54
			of severe grief and mourning, and the prophets on the line, he was seldom said to her, be patient.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:02
			So she turned, she never recognized who he was. She turned him and said away with you.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			For you have not been afflicted with the suffering that
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			Prophet sallallahu wasallam left her when
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:24
			she had inquired or was informed that that was a messenger of Allah, and the love it was. So she
arrived at his house and found no doormen. Now, God,
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:37
			she sought his audience, and she sought his forgiveness. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said in the Masada in the submitted oola, that patience is that the first shock
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:56
			meaning later everyone realizes, everyone calms down, everyone comes to term terms with their loss
with their grief. People become more rational, more accepting, more reason, reasonable about the
whole thing, but it's what happens late
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:04
			is not really what counts what counts as one's immediate reaction. That's true, so
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:12
			and that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he lost his son Ibrahim or the alarm on
the
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:30
			so how about the love I've learned now for the love I'm so him weeping, so he said the art of sudama
even up on this occasion, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained that the eyes weave in
the heart grieves, but the tone does not matter except that with pleases love.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			So
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:44
			in one's grief, sorrow, pain bereavement at times one, not only has ill thoughts about love actually
utters
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			evil words and blasphemous words.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:59
			So, as a Muslim, we are expected to ensure that our Not only is our speech pure, but even our
thoughts remain pure
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			And that our thoughts remain pure about a law that we don't resort to thinking, overthinking,
conjecture, speculation.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:21
			And not only should our thoughts about a lobby appeal, but what really matters today in this context
and in this discussion is that our thoughts about each other are pure.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			That's what reading.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:29
			So in the last panel with Anna says OBD is
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:30
			refrain
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			from excessive speculation and conjecture.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:41
			He is referring to what we think about each other
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			in everyday life, and specifically,
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			when we see something from
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			when we hear something from someone about something,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:04
			we should always give it a favorable interpretation.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:09
			Never an unfavorable or negative interpretation,
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:15
			we should be fair, we should treat others as we would want to be treated ourselves.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			And at times, it can be lots of explanation.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:35
			I remember a story once related by a scholar, he says that this is in a Muslim country. He says that
someone had agreed to come and see.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			And so he arranged an appointment
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			with that person,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:17:00
			that person had, he never knew him personally. But he identified himself that I am such and such a
person. This is my name, these are my details. He gave his family name. I think his father's name
was his name, his father's name, family name, where he was from.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			And
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:10
			he agreed to meet with the scholar
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			at a particular time.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19
			And so
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			the scholar,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			something happened, and they couldn't meet.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			So
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			and then,
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:44
			later,
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			a person came to meet.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:18:04
			Actually, this person came to meet him after the agreed time, so they arranged to meet after Salah
in the mystery. And the person was coming from out of the city.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:06
			The person met him.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:14
			And that was that it's so happened. That the, the person who rang him
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:23
			first time, he contacted him again and said, I'm sorry, I couldn't come that day. I'd like to come
and meet you. Just while you're talking about.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			You came to see me. Just No, I never
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			said Yes, you did. You asked about this. He says no.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:48
			He said then Subhana Allah long story, but to cut it short what transpired is that this person had
agreed with this scholar to come and meet him in the masjid on a particular day after one particular
summer.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			He couldn't make it.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:03
			By sheer coincidence, another person of the same name with the same father's name. From out of the
city came to meet the scholar he thought this was him.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			You could have
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:16
			many explanation You see that? Barbara de la hora to say that whenever
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			you see something
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:31
			sorry, whenever you hear something from your brother, as long as you can give it a favorable
interpretation give it a favorable interpretation.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			Things happen.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			You could see someone somewhere I'll relate to my own story.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:49
			A few years ago, we went to the city center with
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			one of my students
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:56
			and
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			since in the six
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			center parking is extremely difficult. We went late at night.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			And in the evening
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			and we were trying to find parking, no parking was available.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:18
			So there was an open carpark. So the place we went,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:23
			we parked the car outside, and we went in and we inquired from the
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			proprietor, that where can we park the car?
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:53
			So he said, Oh, we don't have a car park. But next door, there is a shared car park. So go there.
And just pop. That's fine. We were that's where we were supposed to go. So we followed his
instructions. We went around the corner, and we thought that there was a guard there. So we said,
Oh, we've just come from this place around the corner. And he's told Yes, yes, can park here.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			Then we were parts and we went.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			Some time later we came out.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:14
			And the gates were locked on the carpark seeing what's going on here. And there were lots of cars
inside of the gates were locked. And now it was quite late about 10 o'clock in the evening at night.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:24
			So we started looking around in in the city center, there was no one there that week, so
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			and the place we had commands off.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			We couldn't go back to him either.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:33
			Because he had gone.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			What do we do?
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:49
			So eventually a guard came, but a different one to the previous one. And he came in is stood up the
gates to set him our cars. And
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:04
			she said to show us your passes. So we don't have any passes your colleague letters in earlier on
that's our car there. And he said no. He said, this is a private car park.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:17
			So we said well, we were told it's a shag carpet. This is no this is a private car park. And you
shouldn't have been let in Where's your passengers don't have a path. So it's good as they belong
to. So they said the casino next door.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			So we said in that so we said what do we do now?
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:37
			The students who was with me from out of the city and he actually told me he's becoming today but
he's not here. Or halen he so we said what do we do sis as well, you have to go and get a pass.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:42
			Now we were both in fobes. And
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			so I set him I'm not going
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			to share your weight here. So he went inside.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:58
			Now alone knows what happened. I'm standing there all alone. And
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			half an hour later, he still hadn't come.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:11
			So I said in that in that scenario, Rajan, I'm calling him.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:20
			And there's no answer, because inside the casino, he had to go down. There was no signal, which I
found out later.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			So I went looking for him.
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:43
			And I went as far as I could just to the four year and I called him and I couldn't find him and
there was a receptionist there. He said, Are you looking for your colleagues downstairs? So I said,
Can you call him so they called him? So what's going on? Sister Oh, Chef, they won't give us a pass.
They said you have to become a member.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:59
			In that elaborate, Roger when he was trying to haggle with them convinced them Hayden about 45
minutes later,
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:06
			we both came out of the casino. And when we did, there were a few Muslim taxi drivers going past.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			I said in their
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			own imagine what they must be thinking.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:21
			So at times, if you see something that they can be a very innocent and valid explanation.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			Say that
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:41
			the law says if you hear something from your fellow Muslim, and as long as you as long as you can
give it a favorable interpretation, make sure you give it a favorable interpretation.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			It's related from Imam or hanifa.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			Love and we've always heard this about him when he thought
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			that if you hear or see something from your fellow Muslim
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			and you can there are 99 negative explanation
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07
			For that thing, and only one good explanation, given the benefit of the doubt and apply that one
good explanation interpretation
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:17
			do not think ill does not resort to conjecture do not resort to speculation.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:27
			In a very beautiful long days later Bye mom hardeen Mr. Muslim in this he and others,
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:32
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say is a young Muslim, nothing more than that.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			What are the what are the justice? What are the nuts? Walla Walla
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			Walla beaucoup de La Hoya
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			de la Hardy.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:26:04
			He says beware of suspicion. It's not even suspicion the words aren't check. So in fact, it would be
incorrect to translate it as suspicion he says he Yakama one. Beware of speculation.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:19
			Beware of speculation. Beware of conjecture. Thing number one UK liberal heavy for indeed conjecture
is the greatest lie of all speech.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			conjecture is a lie. Speculation is a lie.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			And one, when one starts thinking,
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			it doesn't stop.
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:41
			The mind works by itself, the brain runs by itself.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46
			The brain actually works on
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			connections.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			So that
		
00:26:54 --> 00:27:00
			psychologists explain that when a person's feeling subdued, or down, per se,
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			and negative.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:09
			Have you seen how things only get worse?
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			So one bad memory
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:33
			brings about a another bad memory. And another bad memory brings about another bad memory. And then,
before you know it, you are on a downward spiral of negative memories, negative thoughts, sorrowful
recollections. Now, why is that?
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:45
			neuroscientists and psychologists explain very well that the brain works on auto pilots.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			Just like an auto pilots plane or car.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			If you take your hands off,
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			it'll just carry on all by itself.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:05
			And it will go in any direction. Wherever there's momentum, it will follow that direction.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:13
			The only way you can stop it going in a particular direction is to intervene personally.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:30
			So if the car is veering off in that direction, he has no sense is just on autopilot will do what he
wants. Same with a plane. Unless the pilot or the driver personally and physically intervenes and
redirects it.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:39
			It'll just carry on. But does it take long for the pilot or the driver to redirect it? No,
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:59
			an instant intervention, a quick turn of the wheel, or a quick turn of the joystick and job done.
And you'll go in another direction. So the brain runs on autopilot. And it works by connections. So
if you have a negative thoughts and negative memory, and you let the brain continue
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:21
			it'll pick it up. It works by connections. So the brain simply searches for something which is
relevant and connected to its current thought. So when it finds something in its memory banks in
retrieve it and then it looked for something else it looks for connections all the time.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:32
			So it connects negative to negative, sorrowful thing to sorrowful thing. sad thing too sad thing.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			And it's an it's a vicious cycle.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:43
			The SEC so why am I explaining all of this because this is what happens with lung speculation and
conjecture.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:49
			The brain carries on, it never stops.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:59
			So all it takes is for one seed of suspicion, one seed of doubt to be planted. And then what
happens? The seed sprouts
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:07
			into a plant, the plant grows into a tree. And before you know it, there's a whole forest
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			of thoughts where there was absolutely nothing.
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:20
			And this will Mr. From the very beginning, have always explained,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			you may have heard of the term worm.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:29
			worm means an imaginary thought, ie,
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:37
			a thought, which isn't based on evidence, but a paranoid thoughts or doubts and suspicion.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			For instance, some people they do will do.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			And they've got this nagging doubts
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			related to OCD that
		
00:30:50 --> 00:31:00
			I'm not pure enough or my will do isn't complete, or haven't washed my hands or my face properly, or
my arms. And we shouldn't scoff at this, because unfortunately, it's a condition.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:07
			And I've known people who have come to me and said that it takes me
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			20 minutes in the bathroom,
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:32
			even after just passing water, to ensure that I purified myself, and then I come out, and when I do
will do. The same person has told me and other other examples of different numbers. One person told
me that I do will do 20 times I repeat it.
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:36
			And even then I'm plagued by dance.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			So this is one
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:53
			down suspicion, imaginary thoughts. So how do you tackle it? And that will Mr. have explained from
the very beginning, centuries ago, there is no Doran.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:00
			There is no particular there is no magic formula.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:05
			The only way to tackle this is to stop thinking.
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:46
			That's all simple solution. Stop thinking. And I must be very honest with you when I was much
younger, as a child, I used to think that when I first heard that I was only about 14 years old when
I first heard that from our teachers that just stop thinking and I used to think that's a very
simplistic answer. It's a it's a very old answer. Surely there must be something that we can do. And
then 30 years later, 25 years later, I was reading a few books not on this topic, but just about
neuroscience and psychology, and Panama.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:33:21
			They all say exactly the same. neuroscientists say exactly the same. And we're not just talking
about psychologists, but neuroscience scientists who have actually been successful in what they call
neuro plasticity, which is reshaping the physical brain by thoughts. And they say you can actually
take control of your brain. And they say this is it, there's only one way of doing it, break the
pattern of thought, your brain, you can you should control your brain, not the other way around.
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:38
			So when it comes to conjecture, when it comes to speculation, when it comes to negative thoughts,
the brain like any other thoughts, will run on autopilot. You have to intervene. You have to come in
between, you have to take control and direct.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			Sometimes when we price alone, c'est la vie.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:34:07
			And you've gone through the whole seminar, you've actually prayed you're sort of unfair to her and
your other students and you've done your speed. And before you know it's that mid Kumara de la
slammer la cumbre de la and you don't know where the Salah went, because your mind was somewhere
else altogether. Once your mind starts racing, it's like a runaway train.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			So you have to take control.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:28
			This is why I lost Pamela Diana says oh believers abstain refrain from avoid excessive speculation
and conjecture. There's no magic formula. Once your brain starts thinking something about anyone
else. You have to put a stop to it pass
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32
			it around me I can't think about this.
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:34
			Otherwise.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:59
			A lie explains it beautifully in this verse. A law fair says abstain refrain from excessive
conjecture. Then Allah says without the justice and do not search for faults. Then Allah says what
is the battle the combat and do not back by to one another? Why does Allah mention all three because
this is gradual progression. The first will lead to the last
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			We start thinking about something, or someone.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			And these runaway thoughts build up.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			Now we convince, we're convinced.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:23
			We thought about it so much. It's etched itself in into our conscious.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:28
			See it itself in our memory in our brain.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:33
			So we convinced now all we need is proof.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			So we go out looking for proof.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:36:00
			And then there's confirmation bias. We'll see 100 things which refute that, but these seem to
escapers. But if we come across one ambiguous thing, which possibly may suggest something close to
what we were imagining, we seize upon it as definite proof. Now we convinced them we've actually got
evidence, what happens then?
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:20
			We can't rest. We have to give the good news to the whole world. So we begin talking when the bad
boy come Baba, and let's not want to have you back and do not backbite one another. So we start
spreading the good news, telling everyone.
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:44
			And then a lot ends the verse by saying, Would any one of you wish that you consume the flesh of
your dead brother? So somehow, you know what this verse shows? This verse begins with something and
ends with something and Shall I tell you what it begins with? It begins with a single thought, which
is baseless. It's merely a speculation, and mere conjecture.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:56
			So it begins with a single thought, and he ends with this person feasting on the flesh of his dead
brother's corpse.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			That's what that one thought leads.
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:04
			So our last panel with Dallas has cut it from the roots.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			Do not resort to conjecture did not spec.
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			There could be many explanations
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:18
			about why someone has done something why someone sets
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:27
			it could be many explanations. And wouldn't we want others to give us the benefits of that?
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			Who is pure?
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:41
			Who is not prone to mistakes? Who is not prone to the battle to the gap to gaps? Who is not prone to
making ill Jetsons
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44
			who is there who doesn't send
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49
			profits in the law it says guru bunny
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			in the womb.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:38:00
			All the children of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are the ones who repent.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:05
			So
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:12
			speculation and conjecture is also about projection.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:17
			If our thoughts are, if we are pure, our thoughts will be pure.
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:23
			If we are sinful, our thoughts will be sinful about others
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:29
			they will be. And again in psychology This is known as a projection of guilt.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			And the way it works is
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:34
			that
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:38
			we know
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:45
			that we really are. We know what we really love.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02
			We know our faults.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:10
			But they are we know our sins, both present and past. But we can't face it.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			They are too hard hurry.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:32
			Just a very convoluted psychological mechanism. What we do what our egos do, what our investors what
our brains do, is that we know what we truly are allowed, but we can't live with that we can't face
up to that we can't accept that about ourselves.
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:34
			So
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:41
			we project it onto others, we throw it onto others
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:57
			and we see our sins in others. When we see our sins and others, we point at them and say look how
terrible that person is. Look how sinful that person is. And for some strange reason that makes us
feel better.
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:10
			So, if our thought if we are good, our thoughts about others will be good. The good and innocent
will always think good and innocence about others.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:16
			The corrupt will think everyone else is corrupt people see others as they see themselves.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			I've always created a story about two men.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:29
			It's just a story that illustrates the point that there was one person who used to go for Fidelis
Allah and
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:40
			pray sellout in February in the midst of the jamara and return after fetch, but not immediately,
just before sunrise or at sunrise.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:46
			And there was another person who spent the whole night in a dental vise
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			and this is in a Muslim country.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:53
			And then after fudge
		
00:40:54 --> 00:41:02
			all night and then after dawn just before sunrise, sunrise, he used to stagger his way home.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:12
			Now the person coming from the machine, they were both cross paths. The person coming from the
machine
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:25
			being who he was and how he was he would always look at the other and think to himself, Masha Allah,
just like I've prayed Salah in the masjid and I'm going home he's also coming home from a Masjid
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:42
			and the other hoodlum. He's look at this pious was suddenly from the masjid and he's to think to
himself See, just as I'm coming from Adana, Vice, he's also coming from identifies.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:47
			We think of others as we are ourselves.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:59
			So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us Don't think about others think about yourself, and that's why
going back to that Cadiz Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says he Yakumo
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:12
			beware of speculation conjecture for in a vulnerable Hadith because conjecture, speculation is the
greatest lie of all speech. There's no truth to it.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			Beautiful words is the greatest lie.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:19
			Then the prophets and lilavati, who sent them saying,
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:37
			what are the hustle and do not eavesdrop? What are the justice and do not search for faults without
an issue, and do not try to outbid one another in order to harm one another? meaning you're at an
auction, or you're at a sale.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:56
			You have no intention of buying something. But you see someone else's buying as he thinks yourself,
you know what, I don't want it. And I know he wants it really badly, but I'll make sure he pays for
it over the arms. So you continue raising the bed with no intention or pets.
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:01
			So that, even if he does get it,
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:23
			he has to pay an extortionate sum since you've artificially inflated the practice. This is known as
the Naresh outbidding one another with the intention of harming the other. And undoubtedly, what
would fall into this category along with dishonesty is when sellers on eBay.
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:26
			I've been asked this question I didn't know.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:44:09
			Some of you may be wondering, where did he get these ideas from? Well, again, refrain from
conjecture, conjecture and speculation. So I've been asked this question a number of times that
what's the ruling about this where some eBay sellers, they set up a number of accounts on an on one
account there sell an item, then they log on using all these other accounts and getting their
friends to do the same and make bids. So the bids show up as official bids on eBay. And they are
artificially inflating the price because they're all his clients, and he himself is bidding against
himself.
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:34
			And all of it just inflate the price. In the hope that whoever some poor punter if he does buy it,
he's playing an inflated price, profits of the largest as well as an ash and do not outbid one
another with intention of harming each and he continues without the hassle, and to not be envious of
each other. What out about and do not hate one another,
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:41
			one after the other, and do not turn your backs to one another will come about
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:58
			and be servants of Allah as brothers. But all of that comes late Subhanallah all of that comes late.
Hate turning away from one another, outbidding one another in order to harm each other.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:07
			He's dropping, spying on each other. All of that comes later. What's the first thing he mentioned in
the heavy? Yeah.
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:16
			Beware of conjecture, for indeed speculation is the greatest lie of all speech.
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:18
			Cut it from the roots.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			Think only good of each.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:26
			Then Allah subhanho wa Taala says what are the justice
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:33
			and do not search for one another's faults, do not search for faults.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:40
			And this is a natural follow on is the natural consequence to conjecture and speculation.
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:46
			Do not search one another's faults, and that's by making inquiries
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:49
			investigating, researching,
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			finding evidence proof
		
00:45:55 --> 00:46:03
			searching for faults in each about each. It's completely however, we should never fool ourselves
into thinking that I'm
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:13
			doing something good. By trying to search for evidence if it doesn't concern you doesn't concern
you. As we learned about money and shadow the alarm.
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was a public figure.
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:20
			He was the leader of the room.
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:24
			He was a ruler of Medina.
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			He was a prophet of Islam.
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:34
			For all the people of Medina, Muslim and non Muslim, he was the chief ruler,
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:36
			the chief judge.
		
00:46:39 --> 00:46:40
			He was the military command.
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:42
			He was a political
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:57
			he was the chief judge all of the people of Medina including the non Muslims, how to refer to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam as per their agreements. So he was a very public figure.
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:06
			And he most importantly, he was a moral spiritual guide, and the Messenger of Allah for the whole
creation.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:14
			His most beloved wife mean a shadow of the alarm and he was also a public figure.
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:21
			And she was falsely accused of infidelity.
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:24
			He was very serious Matt.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:31
			But Allah subhanho wa Taala did not tell the people of Medina even though this
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:40
			point was made into an all engulfing scandal, which lit the city of Medina Allah.
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:46
			Allah subhana wa hall with data did not tell the people of Medina
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:48
			you should have
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:52
			discovered the truth.
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:56
			You should have made the inquiries before opening your mouth.
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:06
			You should have gone to the messenger some of the lighting, you should have obtained proof before
you said
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:18
			Allah did not say that, rather than Allah Subhana. Allah, Allah told the people of Medina, it never
concerned you. Therefore it was haram for you to even talk about it.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:31
			Let alone go out and search for evidence find proof, one way or the other. And as some people say,
we will we make an inquiry in order to disprove the points.
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:40
			So we're doing something good, we are actually searching for evidence to the contrary, so that we
can provide proof and disprove the point.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:47
			The onus and responsibility and approval and the burden of proof lies on the claimant,
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:50
			not the innocence.
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:58
			Allah subhanho wa Taala said, Never concerned you. So it wasn't even permissible for you to talk.
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:09
			And I mentioned two things in that regard. And just the set of verses of sort of the more last panel
with ad essays. Lola is a Samaritan of London,
		
00:49:10 --> 00:49:17
			to be emphasizing Hydra wakad ohada movie when you had this.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:29
			This, if this calumny this allegation, this great line, why wasn't it that when you heard this,
believing men and believing women fought good of themselves,
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:33
			they thought good about themselves.
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:57
			Also meaning or thinking good about themselves, I explained it before in detail in detail if going
on other occasions, in my commentary of the whole idea, and so he will hardly so please refer to
that. But in summary, the last panel more than this was, this is clearly demonstrated, but I bought
you but I'm sorry, really alarmed. And this was before the revelation of God and this is how the
Sahaba of the loved one who were
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:02
			Even before the revelation of aura
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:19
			about this a while you will have the alarm. And it's also mentioned about other Sahaba. You were
seated with his wife, and what are you, but I'm sorry? Yeah. She said to him, Have you heard very
casually? She said to him, Have you heard about adding Shannon Mr.
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:30
			Savoy you will and sorry about the alarm set to her. On what are you? Would you ever be guilty of
such a sin?
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:32
			And she was horrified.
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:34
			She was horrified.
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:46
			And she protested her innocence. So what are you? What are the alarm speaking to his own wife who
said to her for an issue to hate on minkee that know that he is far better?
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:51
			If you can't imagine this thing about yourself,
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:57
			then how could you entertain such a thought about the mother of the believers who is far far better?
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:05
			This is the meaning of why didn't believe in men and even women think good of themselves?
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:15
			So if you want to think about someone, don't think about someone else, think about yourself. And if
you think good of yourself, why not think good?
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:28
			We all like to believe that I'm innocent. My parents are good and innocent. My siblings are good and
innocent, but all pious, Allah Subhana Allah, Allah says, Filipinos
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:38
			who are in a moving money, do not declare, declare yourselves to be pure, Allah knows best Who is
the most wary and fearing of love.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:54
			And before that, Allah says, He, Allah knows you better way than agenda when people tune in.
		
00:51:57 --> 00:52:12
			When you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers, therefore do not declare yourselves to be pure,
Allah knows best, who is most fearing and wary of Allah. So we like to think of ourselves as being
good and pure.
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:37
			And yet we think ill of others. So here Allah told the people of Medina that when you heard this,
from from going out to investigate and find proof, and research the matter, nope. Why didn't believe
in men and believing women think good of themselves? And then do what? What? Do you have that if
convene and straightaway declare that this is a clear law?
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:42
			And then later on last panel with the lsaps?
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:47
			Why wasn't it when you heard this,
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:51
			the believing bit you said,
		
00:52:52 --> 00:53:04
			my corner mountain will be hard. So Kanika has been that it is not permissible for us to even speak
of this. May you meet hallowed be your name or Allah? May you be Hello.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:10
			This is a great calumny, and allegation.
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:22
			So even about woman walking out in Chateau de la, despite her being a public figure, despite the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam being who he was, a lot didn't tell them Oh, before you speak,
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:43
			obtain proof. Before you speak, investigate. before you say anything, verify the facts ascertain the
truth know, Allah subhanho wa Taala says it was haram for you to speak about it. It was hard for you
to discuss it, it was hard for you to think about it. And if anything, you should have been thinking
about yourselves and not this.
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:50
			And that's how it is even today for us. So what are the justices do not search for Fox?
		
00:53:52 --> 00:54:10
			We may think we're investigating, we're ascertaining the truth. We're verifying the facts. But law
declares that searching for Fox. It doesn't concern you and as I've explained on numerous occasions,
whenever some whenever an allegation is made, it only concerns those people they impacts directly.
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:17
			If an employee is accused of something, then he affects the employer.
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:35
			The whole idea of ascertaining the truth and verifying the facts and investigating means that the
employer should verify the facts, obtain proof, make sure they have all the evidence before they
make any judgments or take any action because it concerns them directly.
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:59
			Similarly with the husband, or wife, if an allegation is made against the husband, or the wife, then
before they make any rash judgments before they rush into any decision, they should investigate
verify the facts ascertain the truth because these matters concern the spouses. Yes, they are
entitled to search
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:03
			Not anyone else.
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06
			It doesn't concern anyone else.
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:21
			And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, interesting Islam in Turku man irony,
part of the goodness of a person's Islam is his abandoning and shunning and leaving that which
doesn't concern him.
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:25
			If you want to be a good Muslim,
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:53
			if you want your Islam to be good, just make sure that you'd never concern yourself with things that
don't concern that will make your Islam beautiful. If you want to corrupt your religion, if you want
to corrupt your faith, and you want to be a bad Muslim by the words of the messenger salallahu
alayhi wasallam and concern yourself with other peoples of concern yourself with that which doesn't
really and shouldn't really concern.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:57
			So what are the justices who did not search performance?
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:00
			The very
		
00:56:02 --> 00:56:14
			law and you know, when we search for one another's faults, Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal Rahmatullah Healy
related Ethan's Muslim and the same Hadees is related from say the man to live the alarm
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:24
			and even from above, or the alarm or even from thoburn love the alarm. So actually a number of
sahaabah the alarm all relate this.
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:27
			So the words of
		
00:56:28 --> 00:56:35
			this Hades in the Muslim Imam Mohammed is from another Sahabi, Abu Salah, Samira the alarm.
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:41
			De labarre who say he's the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:50
			announced and we learned that I'm delighted. Allah says that he raised his noble voice
		
00:56:52 --> 00:57:23
			and another Hadith he spoke so loudly because he was passionate, he was angry. The messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke so loudly that from inside the machine women who were in their
homes at a distance could hear the message. Some of the love it was an even though prophets in the
law it was an almost softly spoke very softly spoke he was very passionate and angry. And you can
just imagine him saying the following words with passion and with anger.
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:33
			Loudly he said yeah, Matt Sherman am and a bit isn't what I'm you're holding the email.
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:42
			taboo muslimeen to be rude to him.
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:47
			For him to whom he had to bury him
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:49
			in la hora de
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:54
			la hora de Yes, the whole fee by
		
00:57:56 --> 00:58:00
			the messenger salallahu alayhi wasallam loudly and passionately proclaim
		
00:58:01 --> 00:58:14
			the ocean all those who have believed with their tongues, but he man has not entered their hearts do
not back by the Muslims while at the debit to Him and do not search for their faults.
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:19
			For he who searches for their faults,
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:28
			a lot of searches for his fault. See the difference? For in Lumia tiberi our RT him
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:40
			plural and single for he who searches for their faults, plural. Allah searches for his fault sync
		
00:58:42 --> 00:58:42
			will mean you
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:54
			and whoever's fault Sr. Allah searches for you if that will work. That will Phoebe, Allah will
disgrace him in his own home.
		
00:58:58 --> 00:59:00
			So when we search for one another's faults,
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:05
			do we not know that the same could happen to us?
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:08
			And that even if it doesn't happen to as in the
		
00:59:09 --> 00:59:29
			last panel with Anna does not need to search for any of our faults. Allah is aware Yeah, animal
heart in the office at all, will love Wi Fi bill Huck, Allah sees it as he he, he knows the
treachery of the eyes. And he knows that which the hearts can see.
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:33
			And a lot of judges with the truth.
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:38
			Law knows the treachery of the times.
		
00:59:39 --> 00:59:47
			So we may cast rapid glances here and there. We may steal glances here and there.
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:56
			The man is walking with his wife along the road. And the wife's keeping a watchful eye over her
husband
		
00:59:58 --> 00:59:59
			and he's conscious of that.
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:06
			So he looks around make sure he doesn't move his head, but he steals glances here and there.
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:13
			And his wife doesn't catch him even though she is the jealous protective type.
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:14
			But
		
01:00:16 --> 01:00:38
			yeah Allah Maha. Allah knows the treachery of the arms. And okay anyone can if someone's in front
they can see the treachery of the arms. Well my daughter Surah loggos Allah even knows the lust and
the desire and the secrets of hearts Allah will be with How can a large churches by the truth
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:51
			even if you happen to come across the faults of a Muslim you should never search for it but even if
you happen to come across the fault of a Muslim
		
01:00:57 --> 01:00:57
			should you do
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01
			in many howdy the prophets in LA it was an
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:06
			omen cetera Muslim, cetera Hola.
		
01:01:07 --> 01:01:14
			Whoever conceals the fault of a Muslim, whoever shields and Muslim, Allah will shield him on the Day
of Resurrection.
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:32
			And in one hand Eve, whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, forgotten who I am older than it is as
though he has restored to life. He has revived an infant girl that was buried alive.
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:41
			Some of the Arabs will want to bury their newborn daughters out of shame and for fear of poverty.
		
01:01:43 --> 01:01:44
			Fear of a bird
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:54
			Prophet sallallahu wasallam said whoever conceals a fault of a Muslim. It is as though he has given
life to an infant's girl who was buried.
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:02
			You may have heard of the same What have you been inside of the alarm line?
		
01:02:03 --> 01:02:07
			Well, you will insert it into the alarm. The same hobby I spoke about earlier.
		
01:02:09 --> 01:02:13
			You may have heard that he wants travelled from Medina.
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:17
			He had heard of the from the sort of Lhasa lahardee.
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:24
			And he wanted he learns that there is another Sahabi who heard the same ad.
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:34
			And he wanted to hear the same idea from the other so happy that he had heard. He knew that he had
heard it.
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:48
			And that's a hobby that he learns of was awkward for the law firm who was in Egypt. So who you are
you been in Saudi the alarm travels by Campbell,
		
01:02:49 --> 01:02:57
			from Medina, all the way across the desert across the Sinai Peninsula, all the way into Egypt.
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:01
			And then
		
01:03:03 --> 01:03:04
			he made his way to
		
01:03:05 --> 01:03:37
			the alarms house. And he met with him and he told him that I have come this whole distance because
there is a hadith which I've heard from the messengers, the love it was on them, and that you have
heard the same study, and I wanted to hear it from you as well. So rock bottom Nando de la home
after a discussion he confirmed with him. he recited the same Hadith to him about you but I'm sorry
of the alarm and raised his hands and said Allahu Akbar, and then he refused to remain in Egypt. And
when
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:50
			you travel that distance, listen to one heavy. Do you know what that had? He was saying? Whoever
conceals a fault of a Muslim in the dunya. Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Judgment.
		
01:03:51 --> 01:03:59
			That's if you happen to come across. Someone's saying someone's indiscretion someone's fault.
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:14
			So even if you do come across inadvertently, this is what you should conceal one another's false
prophets in the law. It wasn't until the so how about the law? Do not bring me complaints of each
other.
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:22
			For I wish to come out to you in such a state that my heart is clean. In relation to if
		
01:04:23 --> 01:04:26
			you did not wish to harbor any ill will and your feeling towards any.
		
01:04:28 --> 01:04:31
			We shouldn't be poisoning one another's minds about each.
		
01:04:32 --> 01:04:34
			This is how we create conflict.
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:43
			Is there any parent who hasn't said an ill word about their child?
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:49
			is there is there any parents who hasn't said an ill word about their child?
		
01:04:51 --> 01:04:55
			Don't parents mothers and fathers get angry with their children
		
01:04:59 --> 01:04:59
			Scott
		
01:05:02 --> 01:05:23
			Tell them off. And we're talking about adults, not young children, adults. Tell them off rightfully
so, I'm only speaking about when they are justified in doing so. Or maybe because of what they think
what they believe. But don't they get angry? Don't they say things? Don't they complain? Don't
parents complain about one son to another? Or one daughter to another?
		
01:05:25 --> 01:05:36
			yet? Does anyone hold it against them? Does anyone hold it against them? That's human nature. What
we shouldn't do is carry these tales
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:54
			to one another. How would it be Imagine if a family members spent most of their time on the phone?
ringing up siblings and saying mum said this about you? Mum said that about you. Mum said this about
you. Dad said this about you. Imagine what would happen.
		
01:05:55 --> 01:06:04
			It leaves the other person in the gutter. And not only about not just how they would feel, but it
would poison their mind about their own delivered father. And
		
01:06:07 --> 01:06:14
			so the intelligent we all do it. We all complain for Allah sake, we complain about ourselves. True.
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:18
			I mean, you have to be a real psychopath.
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:23
			Not to not to ever think negatively about yourself.
		
01:06:24 --> 01:06:30
			It's true. We all have our moments of self doubt, self censure, self criticism.
		
01:06:32 --> 01:06:48
			Don't we don't mean secret, grit our teeth, bite our tongue, put our head down in shame. And think I
shouldn't have said that I shouldn't have done that I was wrong. Oh, I wish I could take back time.
I wish I could turn the hands of the clock.
		
01:06:49 --> 01:07:11
			turn back the hands of the clock. And we're not talking about major things just a gaffe. Just
something we said, the way we behave. And one occasion, we actually go red in the face afterwards
and privacy and say, I wish I hadn't done that. I wish I hadn't said we center ourselves, we
criticize ourselves. We are negative about ourselves. We blame ourselves
		
01:07:13 --> 01:07:17
			a lot. That's why I said earlier everyone knows the truth about themselves.
		
01:07:19 --> 01:07:22
			Law says about man, but even sooner if so he will see your
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:40
			name man is very observant about himself, even though he may make his excuses. man knows himself. We
all know ourselves. So aren't we self critical, self deprecating. Self century? Aren't we?
		
01:07:42 --> 01:08:04
			Don't we have our self doubts? So if we believe this about ourselves, even though we love ourselves
so much, then why should we imagine that others won't think the same others or others may not say
things about us, when talking about those will have the right fathers mothers, those who have been
wronged at our hands.
		
01:08:08 --> 01:08:11
			The dangerous thing is when people carry these tails.
		
01:08:13 --> 01:08:16
			So they relate from A to B B to C
		
01:08:18 --> 01:08:20
			when your friends come to you
		
01:08:22 --> 01:08:28
			and say to you that oh such and such and such and such a person said some disobey even fail speaking
the truth.
		
01:08:29 --> 01:08:32
			You should say to your friend even though Are you my friend?
		
01:08:33 --> 01:08:35
			What good does this achieve?
		
01:08:37 --> 01:08:38
			What good
		
01:08:39 --> 01:08:40
			does this achieve?
		
01:08:42 --> 01:08:47
			Remember when someone rang me, and I was on my way to a conference.
		
01:08:49 --> 01:08:54
			And it was a major day. It was the completion of so he called
		
01:08:55 --> 01:09:05
			I had to do the completion give us give the main speech. And it was a momentous occasion, a number
of students were graduating. And I was on my way there.
		
01:09:06 --> 01:09:15
			And someone called me in the morning. So we were traveling on the motorway. And he took up about 20
minutes of my time.
		
01:09:16 --> 01:09:25
			And in in those 20 minutes, he spent about 19 minutes relating to me what a few people had said
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:27
			negative stuff.
		
01:09:29 --> 01:09:35
			And then at the end of it, he said, sous chef, how's everything else I sort of handed. So chef, is
there anything I can do for you?
		
01:09:37 --> 01:09:38
			Oh,
		
01:09:40 --> 01:09:42
			I had to bite my tongue.
		
01:09:44 --> 01:09:51
			And say does our como la Hadar for your idea for today for your gifts for today? What good did it
achieve?
		
01:09:52 --> 01:09:53
			Nothing.
		
01:09:55 --> 01:09:59
			I heard one very great scholar say in one of his speeches, he said
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:12
			Whichever friend comes to you, and carries Tales from other people and tells you what others have
said about you, then realize that they are not your friends, they are your enemies.
		
01:10:14 --> 01:10:15
			What good does it achieve.
		
01:10:19 --> 01:10:23
			So even if we come across another person's fault, inadvertently,
		
01:10:25 --> 01:10:33
			we should shield it, we should conceal it by carrying tails to one another, this is how we create
conflict.
		
01:10:34 --> 01:11:10
			And then when we do, even if we do end up seeing something, or we actually go out and investigate
what we shouldn't, because when you search for faults that you will end up being very biased in your
search. And as I said, you may see 999 things that actually can confounding and that disprove your
allegations or your suspicions. But you find one thing then because of confirmation bias, you will
seize upon that one thing and actually strongly believe whatever you want to believe, or your neffs
wants you to believe. And then after that what happens you can't rest
		
01:11:13 --> 01:11:17
			so you go and backpack you go and share it with us
		
01:11:20 --> 01:11:26
			that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said do not backbite the Muslims and do not
search for their phones they're all go hand in hand
		
01:11:28 --> 01:11:29
			there's a story about saving
		
01:11:30 --> 01:11:33
			the law related by a number of authors
		
01:11:36 --> 01:11:37
			say that the law
		
01:11:39 --> 01:11:42
			exam criteria law here actually later says massage
		
01:11:44 --> 01:11:59
			is a matter of the law and what happened one one night remember he used to search he used to walk
the streets of Medina he used to patrol so one man he heard some
		
01:12:00 --> 01:12:06
			a man singing in the house and he heard other sounds
		
01:12:07 --> 01:12:10
			and I'm gonna have the alarm became suspicious.
		
01:12:12 --> 01:12:37
			So, what he did is that to ensure that he could catch the person see that the alarm instead of going
from the front door because if he had knocked and they would have had time to sort themselves out.
So see then the alarm he had a man singing and the reason he was singing because he had a he was
inebriated intoxicated
		
01:12:39 --> 01:12:43
			or maybe not fully but see then the loved one that's what he suspected.
		
01:12:45 --> 01:12:48
			So see the nominal the love and climb the wall from the rear
		
01:12:49 --> 01:12:55
			and jumped into the courtyard of the house. And there he saw the man
		
01:12:56 --> 01:12:59
			with a goblets of wine drink.
		
01:13:02 --> 01:13:12
			See the nominal the loved one shouted at him and said, Oh enemy of your soul? Did you really think
that you would engage in such behavior and that love would consider your sin?
		
01:13:16 --> 01:13:19
			So the man spoke up and said, Oh, I mean what mean?
		
01:13:20 --> 01:13:22
			I have committed one sin.
		
01:13:24 --> 01:13:26
			I have committed once
		
01:13:27 --> 01:13:28
			but you have committed three.
		
01:13:30 --> 01:13:38
			Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says what are the just system and do not search for faults? Do not spy
and you have spied on me?
		
01:13:39 --> 01:14:23
			Allah Subhana Allah says what do we use them in our behalf and come to the homes from their front
doors and you did not come from my front door you left over the wall. And and these are verses of
the Quran and Allah Subhana Allah Allah says latuda will utilize AWS data standards towards solimo
Allah Allah and do not enter homes that don't belong to you other than your homes until you seek
permission from their occupants. And that until you give them Sadam and you did not seek my
permission to enter Maya. So Amit, I mean, I confess, I have committed one sin but you have
committed three. So say that one of the alarm, remember he will always halt when he was confronted
		
01:14:23 --> 01:14:24
			with
		
01:14:25 --> 01:14:36
			that was a beauty of see that Allah is he was a he was a man of great passion. And a man of great
anger. But a lot of work well.
		
01:14:37 --> 01:14:44
			He would never get his he would never allow his anger to get the better of him when it came to the
whole.
		
01:14:46 --> 01:14:48
			Anyone could read a verse of the poor
		
01:14:50 --> 01:14:52
			and he would fall silent.
		
01:14:53 --> 01:14:58
			Totally love, a man of that courage, a man of that rage.
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:02
			Doesn't mean he was a raging person. He was very controlled.
		
01:15:04 --> 01:15:20
			Historians non Muslim historians believe that what say that oh my god, Allah, I'm from a purely
worldly military, economic and social perspective and political perspective, what's even better the
alarm achieved
		
01:15:22 --> 01:15:25
			in his 10 years was remark unprecedent.
		
01:15:28 --> 01:15:39
			So, say that the lover and was an amazing individual. But he was a man who struck fear and shear all
in people.
		
01:15:41 --> 01:15:43
			And of course, he had a temper.
		
01:15:44 --> 01:15:45
			But
		
01:15:46 --> 01:15:48
			he would never ever
		
01:15:51 --> 01:15:52
			allow his anger
		
01:15:54 --> 01:16:19
			to come in the way of the left. For some remarkable reason. Whenever he heard a single verse, or,
say, the normal the law of minds, anger didn't just subside, it dissipated, it disappeared
completely. So the man said to him, and I have committed one sin, you have committed three, see the
normal, the alarm accepted, he accepted.
		
01:16:21 --> 01:16:30
			And he said to him, I make a promise that I won't do this again, as long as you make a promise that
you won't do this again. So the man said, I promise. So let me see that.
		
01:16:34 --> 01:16:41
			What that story illustrates, is that look how serious his sin was, he was drinking.
		
01:16:42 --> 01:16:46
			But when he told me that I don't want to be alone I've committed once
		
01:16:47 --> 01:16:58
			you've committed three. The first one was, well, I have to just assume do not search for Fox. Even
though he was a medium, I mean, he was the ruler. He was the ruler.
		
01:17:01 --> 01:17:04
			In fact, a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam informs us
		
01:17:07 --> 01:17:08
			that when a ruler,
		
01:17:11 --> 01:17:16
			subjects people to suspicion of siddur him then he corrupts them.
		
01:17:19 --> 01:17:22
			When the populace believes
		
01:17:24 --> 01:17:38
			that they are always suspected, this corrupts things it corrupts their well being it corrupts their
mind, it corrupts their mentality, it can even corrupt their behavior. They are no longer at ease,
and that's not healthy.
		
01:17:41 --> 01:17:45
			So let's head over to sue law some of the law already.
		
01:17:46 --> 01:17:53
			So what are the just system do not search for forms? What if the Bank of Baroda and do not backbite
one another?
		
01:17:54 --> 01:17:57
			backbiting is a major sin? It's a sin of the tongue.
		
01:17:58 --> 01:18:29
			backbiting what is backbiting? We like to think that backbiting is when I'm speaking terribly about
another person. No, you're Muslim racket. The law here relates to the province of the law my Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said at the Drona Mila Viva. Do you know what Leber his backbiting?
Allah what a suitable atom. They said Allah is messengers of the love it was in the mail best. So
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Vic Raka harkavy Marya, cara, you're mentioning
something about your brother which he dislikes.
		
01:18:32 --> 01:18:34
			So, this is your sort of law.
		
01:18:35 --> 01:18:38
			What about if what I say about him is true.
		
01:18:39 --> 01:18:43
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in canopy him at home
		
01:18:44 --> 01:18:46
			with him you can feed him at home.
		
01:18:47 --> 01:18:58
			If you if if what you say about him is true of him. Then you have committed backbiting against him.
But if you if what you say is not true about him, then you have slandered him.
		
01:18:59 --> 01:19:03
			So, the arguments that are what I'm saying is true.
		
01:19:05 --> 01:19:09
			You know, once a woman woman in shadow, the alarm rang her, a woman came.
		
01:19:13 --> 01:19:21
			So when she left the province, she said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Yasuda Allah,
look how beautiful that woman was.
		
01:19:22 --> 01:19:25
			She actually said that she said, Look how beautiful
		
01:19:27 --> 01:19:29
			and fair that lady was.
		
01:19:30 --> 01:19:32
			If only she wasn't so short.
		
01:19:34 --> 01:19:37
			So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to her or Anisha
		
01:19:38 --> 01:19:53
			you have committed a Riba and backbiting against her. So she protested. She said, you have a soul
Allah, I'm only telling you what's true about her because she was praising and what was ritual that
Oh, she's very beautiful, very fair.
		
01:19:54 --> 01:19:59
			Not feign complexion meaning, fair, as in beauty and handsomeness. She's a handsome baby.
		
01:20:00 --> 01:20:03
			Beautiful lady, If only she wasn't so short.
		
01:20:04 --> 01:20:07
			So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, Oh, are you sure you have
		
01:20:08 --> 01:20:09
			backbiting?
		
01:20:12 --> 01:20:20
			So she said, you're sort of like, I'm only telling you only said what's true about it. So the
prophets of Allah and it seems that indeed, that's what's backlight.
		
01:20:21 --> 01:20:56
			backbiting is to say something about someone in their absence, which they would dislike. That's it,
no other explanation. It is a matter whether you've got the guts to say to their face, as we like to
say, it doesn't matter whether it's true. It doesn't matter whether you've got the courage to say to
their face. What's the definition of backbiting and the word of the messengers allied equals
backbiting veba is to say something about someone in their absence, which they would dislike. You
could be talking about their height, their complexion, their weight, their appearance, their
clothing, it doesn't matter.
		
01:20:57 --> 01:21:00
			If they would dislike such a thing being said,
		
01:21:02 --> 01:21:03
			then that's backbiting
		
01:21:05 --> 01:21:33
			and backbiting is a major sin. inshallah, we don't have time today. I'm going to end in a few
minutes. But I will hopefully, maybe after the completion of sort of job sometime in the near
future, I'll speak individually or I'll give individual sessions on these particular topics, spying,
suspicion, and backbiting. But just as a summary, for now, there are so many hobbies about
backbiting.
		
01:21:36 --> 01:22:04
			Javid Abdullah the lavon relates among reporters had Ethan as Muslim that once he says we will walk
in with the prophets and the love it or send them when there was a sudden foul stench that rose so
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Do you know what this stench is? stink? stench. It's a
no yada sort of law. So he said, this is a smell of those people who do LIBOR and who backbite
others.
		
01:22:08 --> 01:22:09
			backbiting,
		
01:22:10 --> 01:22:13
			ultimately is to consume the flesh of your fellow lungs.
		
01:22:14 --> 01:22:21
			Allah has likened it to cannibalism. That's what it is. We may not think of it but Allah himself
says this is akin to cannabis.
		
01:22:25 --> 01:22:46
			And for us, it's normal. We back by two hours fasting, we're very careful will avoid water will
bring up the item and say, Can I take this injection? Can I take this medicine? And everyday Can I
eat this number? Can I eat that? He number, a miniscule amount? He number this is a number that can
I eat this? Can I eat that?
		
01:22:47 --> 01:22:52
			And yet we happily gorge on each other's flesh. That's what it is.
		
01:22:53 --> 01:22:59
			And that's exactly how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would describe it. Once the Sahaba or
the alarm rang.
		
01:23:00 --> 01:23:02
			He was he stood up and he left.
		
01:23:04 --> 01:23:17
			So another man who was sitting there he spoke ill of him after he left. So a man the profits of the
loans and receipt of the Sahaba one of them got up and left. So after he left another one
		
01:23:19 --> 01:23:20
			spoke of him
		
01:23:22 --> 01:23:27
			spoke ill of him. The province little alarm it was them said to him pick your teeth.
		
01:23:28 --> 01:23:38
			She said you had a sort of love. Why are you asking me to pick my teeth? Have I eaten meat or
anything? So he said, you just consume the flesh of your brother.
		
01:23:40 --> 01:23:48
			Once Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was traveling riding, and he came across the carcass of a
dead meal, look at the carcass of a meal.
		
01:23:51 --> 01:24:05
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam pointed to it and said, it is far better if one of you to
fully consume and eat this whole dead meal than it is to consume the flesh of his federalist by
backbiting.
		
01:24:09 --> 01:24:12
			In fact, there's a famous as well it's not very famous, but
		
01:24:14 --> 01:24:21
			one author actually narrates the story with a with a sound chain of narration of the duck to see in
his how
		
01:24:22 --> 01:24:32
			he relates that one see that a robot currency then are the alarm when they were traveling. There was
someone who was looking after them and serving them
		
01:24:33 --> 01:24:34
			and he would prepare their food for
		
01:24:36 --> 01:24:43
			one day. The other Sahabi love the lover and he overslept. So we'll look at a number of the alarm
		
01:24:44 --> 01:24:53
			clock and he was supposed to prepare the food for them but he was still sleeping. So they awoke and
there was no food.
		
01:24:54 --> 01:24:59
			So they they said one or both of them said in the hulan own that look at him.
		
01:25:00 --> 01:25:01
			He just sleeps a lot.
		
01:25:02 --> 01:25:07
			That was that he woke up. So they said to him, no food.
		
01:25:08 --> 01:25:17
			So he said, Go and find some food. Maybe go to the messenger, sallallahu alayhi wasallam and say to
him, but we'll look at an aroma request for some food.
		
01:25:21 --> 01:25:29
			So the man went to profits in the lab it was, according some narrations. The suggestion is that this
was actually some manual fallacy. It'll be alive.
		
01:25:30 --> 01:25:35
			Anyway, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he approached him and he said he had a sort of
		
01:25:37 --> 01:25:48
			sense send me to you. they convey their Salaam and ask you that, do you have any foods provide for
them? So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to him, What food do they want? they've eaten.
		
01:25:50 --> 01:25:52
			Go back and tell them
		
01:25:53 --> 01:26:09
			so he came. And he said to them, that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that what food
do you eat them? So they're both very fearful. So they hurriedly went to the messenger some of the
law it was something they said Yara sort of love.
		
01:26:10 --> 01:26:17
			What makes you believe that we have eaten. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, you
consume the flesh of your fellow Muslim.
		
01:26:18 --> 01:26:23
			And even now I can see pieces of meat and flesh in between your teeth.
		
01:26:26 --> 01:26:28
			And that was Abu Bakar and tomorrow the alarm
		
01:26:30 --> 01:26:39
			as I said among the elvina muchness de la Haley, he relates his hobbies with an authentic chain of
narration all the way to abubaker normal the alarm
		
01:26:40 --> 01:26:41
			in his other hobbies and
		
01:26:44 --> 01:26:52
			so then they said the our soul Allah seek forgiveness for us. Do it's too far for us.
		
01:26:53 --> 01:27:08
			pray to Allah forgiveness. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, No, he will seek
forgiveness, meaning you have to seek forgiveness from him. If anything, he is the one who will
forgive you or pray for your forgiveness, not me.
		
01:27:09 --> 01:27:19
			There are many Hadith about backbiting and inshallah I'll devote one session to that. Let's end with
the verse last panel with Allah says, Are you
		
01:27:20 --> 01:27:26
			one of you wish and yet God allowed me to see that he eats the flesh of his brother made that dead
		
01:27:29 --> 01:27:30
			but the law
		
01:27:32 --> 01:27:34
			so fail law Be wary of law.
		
01:27:35 --> 01:27:49
			Sorry, forget that you would surely to test this what the law so and be wary of law in the law of
the world or him indeed a law his often relenting meaning he turns to his servants and accepting
their
		
01:27:51 --> 01:28:39
			repentance for him his full of mercy. So we still have a chance to repent and mend our ways, ma'am
hardy law he and he, he says that ever since I learned that backbiting is how long? I have never
done LIBOR against anyone. And when did he learn that backbiting was held in his adulthood? No, as a
child, that means a man Well, how do you say it's from childhood, I have never committed the sin of
LIBOR. There are many stories of many relena they protected their tongues, they would not gorge on
each other's flesh. And we may be shocked about this a lot actually likens it to cannibalism. But
indeed, I once saw a documentary about cannibalism in the south, Southeast Asian islands.
		
01:28:40 --> 01:28:41
			Papua New Guinea.
		
01:28:42 --> 01:28:50
			I don't know if any of you have seen the same documentary. But in there, they went deep into the
jungles.
		
01:28:51 --> 01:29:12
			And they interviewed people from villages who actually used to practice cannibalism till the night
till 1974, I believe when it was outlawed first in that country. But because these are remote tribes
living in the remote jungles, and forests, they have their own practices, and they actually used to
practice cannibalism.
		
01:29:14 --> 01:29:15
			And they interviewed
		
01:29:16 --> 01:29:23
			and when they interviewed some of the old people who had actually eaten before eating him flesh
		
01:29:25 --> 01:29:26
			so
		
01:29:30 --> 01:29:32
			when they talk to them,
		
01:29:34 --> 01:29:37
			it's like, it was something so normal.
		
01:29:38 --> 01:29:45
			One of them when they interviewed him, they're actually asking him, how did you get this human? How
did you
		
01:29:46 --> 01:29:59
			end up eating him? And he's describing how they caught this person, how they skinned him, how they
roasted him on the pits, how they access flesh, what it tastes like.
		
01:30:00 --> 01:30:43
			In 1989, a Roger and once is describing all of this is actually eating something at the same time.
He wasn't flesh he was some, you may have been a large vegetable or a coconut or something. But he
was very casually so he's having bites and in between morsels just chatting away. It's like someone
eating a Mars bar and talking very casually Yeah, I went here I went there. So he's like eating and
in between morsels is in gory detail. He's describing how they skin kill this human skin him roasted
him over a pit and cutters trash and at what it tastes like. And they say that all of them
consistently said one thing, which is that
		
01:30:44 --> 01:31:24
			they all call humans long pic, because they say the flesh is exactly like pork. It's just like
eating a pig. So they actually named the human meal as long pig that all of them in their simple
tribal language consistently all the people who had ever consumed human flesh, when they spoke to
them, they all call this long pig. So the called humans long pigs when they were conceived, cocksman
consumed because they said the flesh is exactly the same. This is one more reason why the last panel
with Allah has made the flesh of Hannah Z of swine
		
01:31:27 --> 01:31:28
			because it's
		
01:31:30 --> 01:31:34
			once we declare that to be Haram, we are one step further removed
		
01:31:37 --> 01:31:39
			from the sin of eating human flesh.
		
01:31:41 --> 01:31:49
			But the reason I mentioned this, it was so natural was so normal. When he was actually it's like
he's describing
		
01:31:51 --> 01:31:53
			the last time he had kebabs and that was it.
		
01:31:55 --> 01:32:06
			So casual, and I mentioned that because we may find that shocking. I mean, I can see the expressions
on everyone's faces. But when it comes to
		
01:32:09 --> 01:32:10
			backbiting
		
01:32:13 --> 01:32:18
			we have become so accustomed it's normal for us. Absolutely not
		
01:32:19 --> 01:32:28
			worried about eating Helen Holloman enough when it comes to consuming one another's flesh, which
Allah describes as cannibalism and what we find the absolutely normal
		
01:32:30 --> 01:33:05
			sort of last panel with Allah say surely you would detest this of course you would suggest as you
test that for character to test this what the blood and be wary of Lucha, Lucha Libre he Verily
Allah has offered lensing and most merciful I am with the for verse last panel with Allah says all
believers refrain from excessive conjecture, speculation. For indeed some speculation is a sin. I
