00:00:00 -->
00:00:00
Significant,
00:00:01 -->
00:00:02
the most merciful.
00:00:03 -->
00:00:04
And I bear witness.
00:00:05 -->
00:00:06
There is no one has right to be
00:00:06 -->
00:00:08
worshiped but Allah.
00:00:10 -->
00:00:12
And I bear witness that our beloved prophet
00:00:12 -->
00:00:13
Muhammad
00:00:16 -->
00:00:16
he
00:00:17 -->
00:00:19
is the last final messenger of Allah.
00:00:20 -->
00:00:22
Dear brothers and sisters,
00:00:29 -->
00:00:29
today,
00:00:30 -->
00:00:31
we will have
00:00:32 -->
00:00:32
another
00:00:33 -->
00:00:34
stage
00:00:34 -->
00:00:38
of the story of Musa alayhi salaam and
00:00:39 -->
00:00:39
his
00:00:39 -->
00:00:40
people,
00:00:40 -->
00:00:42
the children of Israel.
00:00:44 -->
00:00:44
When
00:00:45 -->
00:00:47
Musa alayhi salam choose
00:00:48 -->
00:00:49
a certain
00:00:50 -->
00:00:50
people
00:00:51 -->
00:00:52
from his
00:00:53 -->
00:00:55
followers to go to meet with
00:01:03 -->
00:01:04
He selected them.
00:01:05 -->
00:01:06
You know, he choose
00:01:06 -->
00:01:09
a big number, and he filtered them
00:01:09 -->
00:01:10
into
00:01:10 -->
00:01:11
70
00:01:11 -->
00:01:12
people only.
00:01:13 -->
00:01:14
The qualified
00:01:14 -->
00:01:15
people
00:01:16 -->
00:01:17
to go to meet with Allah
00:01:20 -->
00:01:22
But when they went,
00:01:23 -->
00:01:25
they did not believe in Musa Alaihi Salam.
00:01:26 -->
00:01:27
And they request him
00:01:28 -->
00:01:29
to let them
00:01:29 -->
00:01:30
see Allah
00:01:31 -->
00:01:31
openly.
00:01:33 -->
00:01:35
In the other verse,
00:01:41 -->
00:01:41
And
00:01:42 -->
00:01:44
when you choose
00:01:44 -->
00:01:46
a leader or when you choose
00:01:47 -->
00:01:47
some leaders,
00:01:48 -->
00:01:49
and you will be disappointed
00:01:50 -->
00:01:51
later on
00:01:51 -->
00:01:52
because
00:01:52 -->
00:01:53
your expectations
00:01:54 -->
00:01:54
wasn't
00:01:55 -->
00:01:56
right.
00:01:56 -->
00:01:59
This is how Musa Alaihi Salam did.
00:02:00 -->
00:02:01
He expected
00:02:01 -->
00:02:04
that those people will be the best
00:02:04 -->
00:02:06
to meet with Allah
00:02:06 -->
00:02:07
and to learn
00:02:08 -->
00:02:10
about the religion and go back to tell
00:02:10 -->
00:02:13
the rest of many Israel. But this is
00:02:13 -->
00:02:14
not our point.
00:02:14 -->
00:02:15
Our point today
00:02:16 -->
00:02:18
about our beloved prophet Muhammad
00:02:19 -->
00:02:20
sallallahu
00:02:20 -->
00:02:22
alaihi wa sallam. Because I know the time
00:02:22 -->
00:02:23
is not enough,
00:02:24 -->
00:02:26
but let us really concentrate
00:02:27 -->
00:02:27
and let us
00:02:29 -->
00:02:29
stress
00:02:30 -->
00:02:34
that our beloved sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was
00:02:34 -->
00:02:34
mentioned
00:02:35 -->
00:02:36
in the previous
00:02:37 -->
00:02:37
revelations.
00:02:39 -->
00:02:41
Was mentioned in and
00:02:42 -->
00:02:43
with
00:02:44 -->
00:02:45
the specific
00:02:46 -->
00:02:47
characteristics
00:02:47 -->
00:02:48
of Rasulullah
00:02:51 -->
00:02:52
When we look at the verse
00:02:53 -->
00:02:54
describe Rasulullah
00:02:55 -->
00:02:55
he,
00:02:56 -->
00:02:57
peace be upon him,
00:02:57 -->
00:02:59
we will be amazed.
00:02:59 -->
00:03:00
The same
00:03:02 -->
00:03:03
direction that Allah
00:03:04 -->
00:03:05
gave us.
00:03:11 -->
00:03:13
For those who follow
00:03:13 -->
00:03:16
the the the messenger of Allah,
00:03:16 -->
00:03:18
the literate,
00:03:18 -->
00:03:21
the one who is not able to read
00:03:21 -->
00:03:21
or write.
00:03:27 -->
00:03:29
They will find all these
00:03:29 -->
00:03:30
characteristics
00:03:31 -->
00:03:33
has been written in their
00:03:34 -->
00:03:34
tawra,
00:03:35 -->
00:03:36
and they're in jail.
00:03:37 -->
00:03:37
And
00:03:38 -->
00:03:39
what is the
00:03:40 -->
00:03:41
the quality of Rasulullah
00:03:47 -->
00:03:48
to enjoin them
00:03:49 -->
00:03:50
with the
00:03:50 -->
00:03:50
good
00:03:51 -->
00:03:51
things.
00:03:52 -->
00:03:53
When
00:03:55 -->
00:03:56
and to forbid them
00:03:57 -->
00:03:58
with the bad
00:03:59 -->
00:04:00
things.
00:04:00 -->
00:04:02
And this is the our religion
00:04:04 -->
00:04:04
to
00:04:05 -->
00:04:05
enjoin
00:04:06 -->
00:04:07
people to do good
00:04:07 -->
00:04:10
and to forbid people to stay away from
00:04:10 -->
00:04:11
bad
00:04:11 -->
00:04:12
actions.
00:04:22 -->
00:04:25
To make lawful for them for good
00:04:26 -->
00:04:26
things.
00:04:30 -->
00:04:32
And to prohibit
00:04:32 -->
00:04:32
them
00:04:34 -->
00:04:34
to do
00:04:35 -->
00:04:37
or to deal with the.
00:04:38 -->
00:04:38
When somebody
00:04:40 -->
00:04:41
said,
00:04:41 -->
00:04:43
there is no averse in the Quran
00:04:44 -->
00:04:45
to say
00:04:45 -->
00:04:47
smoking is haram.
00:04:47 -->
00:04:48
Right?
00:04:49 -->
00:04:49
Or,
00:04:50 -->
00:04:50
you know,
00:04:52 -->
00:04:52
for
00:04:52 -->
00:04:53
to smoke.
00:04:55 -->
00:04:57
Bring one verse in the Quran
00:04:57 -->
00:05:00
to mention that smoking is forbidden.
00:05:02 -->
00:05:02
Right?
00:05:03 -->
00:05:04
That verse.
00:05:05 -->
00:05:06
If you know
00:05:06 -->
00:05:07
somebody
00:05:08 -->
00:05:09
who's addicted
00:05:09 -->
00:05:10
into
00:05:10 -->
00:05:11
smoking,
00:05:11 -->
00:05:12
and
00:05:12 -->
00:05:15
he thought only smoking is,
00:05:16 -->
00:05:17
dislike it,
00:05:19 -->
00:05:20
and they stay
00:05:21 -->
00:05:24
in their position, and they don't have intention
00:05:24 -->
00:05:25
to change their mind.
00:05:26 -->
00:05:28
Tell them about this verse
00:05:28 -->
00:05:31
and give them the chance to read the
00:05:32 -->
00:05:34
interpretation of that verse.
00:05:37 -->
00:05:39
Now when we stay at the Masjid
00:05:41 -->
00:05:42
and you are thirsty,
00:05:43 -->
00:05:43
and you have
00:05:44 -->
00:05:47
the bottle of water, is it okay to
00:05:47 -->
00:05:48
drink sip of water
00:05:49 -->
00:05:51
while you stay on the masjid or not?
00:05:52 -->
00:05:55
Is it okay? Is it allow it
00:05:55 -->
00:05:56
or not?
00:05:58 -->
00:05:59
When you go Azakullah
00:06:00 -->
00:06:01
to use the bathroom,
00:06:01 -->
00:06:04
and you are even in the time of
00:06:04 -->
00:06:05
Maghrib in Ramadan,
00:06:05 -->
00:06:06
and
00:06:06 -->
00:06:08
the the adhan has been cold,
00:06:09 -->
00:06:12
is it okay to break your fast while
00:06:12 -->
00:06:14
you're doing your business inside the bathroom?
00:06:15 -->
00:06:18
Or you will wait few minutes until you
00:06:18 -->
00:06:21
finish your business. Go outside of the bathroom
00:06:21 -->
00:06:22
and drink
00:06:22 -->
00:06:24
the water to break your fast.
00:06:25 -->
00:06:26
I'm right?
00:06:26 -->
00:06:27
Tight.
00:06:27 -->
00:06:29
Switch it little bit. You
00:06:29 -->
00:06:31
are sitting in the lecture
00:06:32 -->
00:06:32
and
00:06:33 -->
00:06:33
you are
00:06:34 -->
00:06:36
starving, and you have a sandwich.
00:06:36 -->
00:06:38
Is it okay? Or you have maybe
00:06:39 -->
00:06:41
crackers or some,
00:06:42 -->
00:06:44
fruits. Is it okay to eat
00:06:44 -->
00:06:45
some
00:06:45 -->
00:06:48
while listening to to the lecture, add the
00:06:48 -->
00:06:51
masjid inside the house of Allah or not?
00:06:51 -->
00:06:52
Or haram?
00:06:52 -->
00:06:55
Is it okay? But if you go to
00:06:55 -->
00:06:56
the bathroom
00:06:56 -->
00:06:58
and you have your food,
00:06:58 -->
00:07:00
is it okay to eat inside the bathroom
00:07:02 -->
00:07:03
or not?
00:07:03 -->
00:07:04
No.
00:07:04 -->
00:07:05
Like,
00:07:06 -->
00:07:08
if somebody has his cigarette
00:07:11 -->
00:07:13
and it came to his mind, I would
00:07:13 -->
00:07:14
like to really
00:07:14 -->
00:07:16
fire my cigarette right now.
00:07:17 -->
00:07:18
Can he make it
00:07:20 -->
00:07:23
like this on front of the Sheikh or
00:07:23 -->
00:07:24
in the house of Allah
00:07:25 -->
00:07:27
Is it allowed? Is it lawful?
00:07:28 -->
00:07:30
No. But if he go to the bathroom,
00:07:31 -->
00:07:32
can he do that?
00:07:33 -->
00:07:37
This is the the best time to to
00:07:37 -->
00:07:40
smoke inside the bathroom. You know why? Because
00:07:40 -->
00:07:42
the bathroom is the place of Al Khub,
00:07:44 -->
00:07:45
the place of shayatun,
00:07:46 -->
00:07:47
the place of David.
00:07:48 -->
00:07:50
This is the way. But the Masjid
00:07:51 -->
00:07:53
is the place of malaika, of angels,
00:07:54 -->
00:07:55
of mercy of Allah
00:07:56 -->
00:07:58
And this is why our scholars explain,
00:07:59 -->
00:08:00
I will conclude with this one.
00:08:05 -->
00:08:06
The good place,
00:08:06 -->
00:08:07
you know,
00:08:09 -->
00:08:09
goes
00:08:10 -->
00:08:12
with the good stuff
00:08:12 -->
00:08:14
to do inside it,
00:08:14 -->
00:08:15
and
00:08:16 -->
00:08:18
the wicked or the bad place
00:08:19 -->
00:08:21
will go with the bad stuff
00:08:21 -->
00:08:24
to be done inside that bad bad place.
00:08:25 -->
00:08:26
Al Masjid is.
00:08:27 -->
00:08:28
Mean
00:08:28 -->
00:08:29
is good.
00:08:31 -->
00:08:33
And you're you're allowed
00:08:33 -->
00:08:36
to to do good stuff inside the Masjid.
00:08:37 -->
00:08:38
And the bathroom
00:08:39 -->
00:08:39
or
00:08:40 -->
00:08:42
the place that we do our business in
00:08:42 -->
00:08:44
it is, and
00:08:45 -->
00:08:47
it's allowed to do the
00:08:48 -->
00:08:49
bad stuff inside
00:08:50 -->
00:08:51
that place.
00:08:51 -->
00:08:53
And this is the clear
00:08:53 -->
00:08:54
evident
00:08:54 -->
00:08:55
that
00:08:56 -->
00:08:57
cigarette or smoking
00:08:58 -->
00:08:58
is
00:08:59 -->
00:08:59
forbidden.
00:09:00 -->
00:09:02
In the top of this, when you say
00:09:02 -->
00:09:04
when when some brothers, may Allah forgive all
00:09:04 -->
00:09:06
of us, You know, we have to make
00:09:06 -->
00:09:09
dua for them because they are blind.
00:09:09 -->
00:09:11
They cannot see the truth,
00:09:12 -->
00:09:16
because satan are riding them, control them, and
00:09:16 -->
00:09:19
just make dua for them that Allah will
00:09:19 -->
00:09:20
show them
00:09:20 -->
00:09:23
the truth and Allah will help them out
00:09:23 -->
00:09:26
to change their mind and to repent back
00:09:26 -->
00:09:27
to Allah
00:09:28 -->
00:09:30
In the top of that, when they claim
00:09:30 -->
00:09:32
this is only dislike it.
00:09:32 -->
00:09:35
Dislike it. Who who did who disliked
00:09:36 -->
00:09:36
that?
00:09:38 -->
00:09:40
When you tell your wife, oh, my beloved
00:09:40 -->
00:09:44
wife, really, I don't like salty food. Please
00:09:44 -->
00:09:47
don't add a lot of salt in my
00:09:47 -->
00:09:47
food.
00:09:48 -->
00:09:51
And she said, really? Because you don't like
00:09:51 -->
00:09:54
salty food, I will add more salt for
00:09:54 -->
00:09:55
you. Right?
00:09:55 -->
00:09:58
When we say brothers and sisters,
00:09:58 -->
00:10:02
you know, smoking or or any kind of
00:10:02 -->
00:10:03
of these,
00:10:04 -->
00:10:06
way that Allah
00:10:06 -->
00:10:08
dislike it. And who dislike it? Allah
00:10:10 -->
00:10:10
You know?
00:10:12 -->
00:10:13
Did the Shaitan
00:10:14 -->
00:10:17
dislike it smoking or Allah dislike smoking?
00:10:18 -->
00:10:18
Allah
00:10:19 -->
00:10:23
dislike. When you say Allah dislike it smoking,
00:10:23 -->
00:10:25
why you insist
00:10:25 -->
00:10:29
to say, oh Allah, because you dislike it
00:10:29 -->
00:10:32
this the smoking, I will do it. And
00:10:32 -->
00:10:33
some brothers,
00:10:33 -->
00:10:35
I know some of them, they might,
00:10:37 -->
00:10:39
they might have a good chance where in
00:10:39 -->
00:10:42
the certain time to have a big sale
00:10:42 -->
00:10:46
for the cigarette. And he bought maybe 2,
00:10:46 -->
00:10:46
3,
00:10:47 -->
