How are you, Sheikh?
We'll get started right away.
Dear respected students, may Allah bless you all
for your attendance.
Today, we are starting a new series, Kitabat
Tawhid,
and we'll be continuing this every Friday Insha'Allah.
Just a quick reminder, please take notes, listen
attentively,
and hand your questions over to myself or
the cohost throughout the course of the lesson.
With that shared, I'll hand it straight to
the sheikh to start the lesson.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam.
Today, we are starting a new book
by Sheikh Al Imam Mujedid Muhammad and
this is one of his best
the best
books. And, actually, it is one of the
best
books in general addressing
the issue
of the
or the unity of worship.
Amazing book. May Allah reward
the author
immensely,
and may Allah elevate his status in janadulayn.
Amen.
This imam,
many people talked about him,
fabricated
lies, accused him,
attributed to him things that he didn't say.
So by studying this book, you are going
to
know
who is this
Sheikh
Rahimahullah,
and what he believes in?
And is his belief
in lying
and comply
with what
the Sahaba, Jabreen, Jabreen, Jabreen were upon or
not.
Sheikh Mohammed Abdul Rahab
is a Salafi
following the way of the Salaf of Saleh.
It did not bring anything in you.
With regard with respect to,
respect to,
his Hambly
upon the mad hub of Imam Ahmad ibn
Hanbal,
So this book, Kitab at Tawhid.
And before we
delve into the book and today will be
introduction
because I feel it is important to have
an introduction.
You
need
to prepare yourself,
take notes,
revise your notes.
You have the copy with you also in
Arabic and English
so you can revise
and try to understand
this beautiful book.
So the author of Raheem Haway started his
book.
Of course,
I will not give talk about his biographies
biography because it is known to many of
you. Imam Rahim Allah
grew up in,
and
he learned his deen from his father and
the ulama
in his
place in his
area.
Then he traveled to Iraq many times.
Then he studied with the ulama in Mecca
and Medina,
and he was shocked by
the practices
of the people
in his
country and in his area
where he was living,
which is
the. People
went back to
worshiping and calling the dead.
Worshipping the
the dead.
Calling the
dead, offering sacrifices to other than Allah
which
is beyond any
doubt,
any sort of doubt. It is.
So he felt that he had to do
something, and he had
to start educating his people
and teach them
and to
bring them back to the pure monotheism
creed and monotheistic creed,
and that's what he did.
Of course, he
faced opposition, strong opposition,
but he continued.
And,
so he'd prevailed.
And today,
millions of Muslims
benefit from this book.
The impact and effect of his dawat
was not only within Arabia,
outside Arabia.
This book has been translated
into many languages,
and many people benefited.
Many people came back
to the correct
track
and the correct path,
the way of salvation,
the way
of the prophet
and his companions.
So he started his book,
the first chapter, Kitab at Tawhid,
and he called it Kitab at Tawhid.
And we are going to,
try to
understand
every word and what he meant by that.
Kitab.
What is kitab?
If you recall, I've been
asking you, begging you
to start learning Arabic.
I'm telling you
and tell all the brothers and sisters
and all the diary,
If you don't master the Arabic tongue, your
knowledge will remain superficial.
Relying on translations
will not avail you, will not help you,
will not
make you
understand
the beauty of this deed and
the profound depth of it.
Kitab.
What is kitab?
And what is the root?
The root,
always, you have to go to the root
of the word if you want to know
its meaning.
The root is.
If you want to know any word in
Arabic,
the meaning of it, go to the root.
There are additional letters
will be
added to the root.
Remove these additional letters
and search for the root.
This of course, I mentioned this many times.
These additional letters are the sin,
the hamza,
the lam,
the ka, the min, the wow, the noon,
the yeah, the and the alif.
All combined in one word called
These are additional letters. If you
want to
search for the root of the word, remove
these additional letters, and you will be left
only with the root.
So kitab here
has alif and one of the letters of.
So the root is.
Katapa.
Then you understand the meaning of katapa.
So this route catch up.
All the
names derived from this root,
they all
revolve around
the collection.
All the meanings,
me they
denote
combining
and collection.
All the words that are derived from this
word, that what they denote and that what
they indicate.
For example, when you say kataba,
kataba
means to write.
Because you
are joining
and connecting
the alphabets.
The alphabets you are combining them and joining
them together.
Katib.
Katib. The Katib is the writer, the one
who
combines these letters,
in writing and forms
sentences.
Is the book
because it is a collection
of
sentences
that are put together,
and the sentences
are made
of words, and the words
are made of letters put together.
That's why it's called.
Many of you, they know they know the
word
means desk office,
but also Maktab
means
all all.
All, a w l,
a w l o.
It is a tool
those who are
making skin bags,
bag skin or skin bags. Yes.
And they
cut the skin, and they make out of
it many things,
bags or whatever.
So they use this old tool
and stitch
the pieces together.
They are joining the the pieces of the
skin together.
It's called nakta. That tool, the old, old,
a w l,
the owl or owl
is
is that tool.
The desk is called because there are collections
of things on it.
To put things on the on the desk.
The office is called
because
you meet there, and there are always
meeting and collections and many things you do
there.
Is also from the same root.
Means
battalion,
the battalion
of infantry
because it is many soldiers
and warriors
combined and came together.
So that's the meaning of kitab.
So the author
here, he said kitab.
So this is what how he started the
introduction.
Kitab.
This is the title.
What he meant by that,
his intention
is to draw that attention
of the reader. He is telling the reader
that
the very purpose of your creation,
the reason of behind your creation,
and the purpose behind
the creation of yin and mankind
is to worship Allah.
And here I am providing you with a
collection
of the proof
and evidence
that supports this claim
that you are created
for one purpose,
and that is only to worship Allah.
And he is also sending the message
that your,
your devotion,
your
dedication
is
based on the.
As a matter of fact,
all the acts of worship you do
are different forms
and manifestations
of the Tawhid.
The entire Quran from
until the end of Surat An Nas Tawhid.
Your
salah reminds you of the Tawhid,
the Hajj
Tawhid,
the Talbiyah Tawhid.
So Allah's
created us for the Tawhid
to worship him only.
Now.
So now we know the meaning of. What
does?
Again,
what is the root now? You want to
look for the root of.
What you are going to do? Remember,
remove the additional letters.
What are the additional letters here?
Alif,
ram,
cha.
These are letters of
removed.
And what else they are?
So what you are left with?
That's the root. Look and search.
Look for it.
Now
that's your heat.
So we
know now the meaning of kateva and kitab,
and white is called kitab. And that's why
Allah
said about the Quran,
the alikal kitab, call it kitab, which means
it's going to be collected
because Allah called it.
So the collection of the Quran and putting
it in a book form is not bitter
because
that's what Allah said.
That I'm
this is a book which is going to
be
combined and collected,
and he
collected it in the heart of the
and
the taught it and read it to the
Sahaba.
So I tell him, there are certain issues.
We are going through them.
So the first masala regarding
the
atawhid,
regarding
pertaining this issue
to
the utterance itself,
the word itself,
this word,
All nations
use this word,
and they considered
it is the best expression
that can be used
to
refer to the true belief in god?
Ask.
What the people say?
God.
God.
God is 1.
All times.
All times.
Even those who say god is 3, they
don't say god is 3. They say
god is 1.
But,
these are different manifestation,
but he's god is 1.
So
is
used.
This word is used
by all nations
to refer to the true definition
and the belief in
one God, the creator of the heavens and
the earth.
The religious text
use this term to heed,
to donate,
and to
indicate
what a believer should be should be should
believe in
should believe in
and what he should be should believe
in.
And now we'll start
going
through
the text, the Quran,
and
the textual
proofs.
Allah says in Surat Al Baqarah,
and I hope that depends are moving.
Aya 163.
Your your
god is only one god.
Your deity that deserved to be worshiped,
holy one.
There is no god
worthy of
worship
except
him.
The most compassionate,
most merciful.
These two names to describe who is this
god that you worship.
You worship the most compassionate,
the
most merciful.
So this is a proof.
So
the Quran used the word, 1,
to refer to the person of Allah
Allah that he is 1.
Allah also says 1
171.
The meaning.
Oh, people of the book, Jews and Christians,
do not go to extremes
regarding
your faith.
Say nothing about Allah except the truth.
This is a warning from Allah.
The Messiah,
Jesus, son of Mary,
was no more than a messenger of Allah
and the fulfillment of his word word
through Mary
and the spirit created by a command from
him.
So believe in Allah and his messengers
and do not say,
Trinity
3,
stop
for your own good.
Allah is only one God.
Glory be to him. He is far above
having a son.
To him belongs whatever
is in the heavens
and whatever is on the earth,
and Allah is sufficient
as a trustee
of affairs.
Let us pause here
and reflect.
So this beautiful ayah,
Allah addresses the people of the scripture.
Do not go to extreme.
Do not exaggerate.
Do not cross the limit.
Means
to
trespass the limit,
and Islam wants us to remain within the
boundaries
and not to cross them.
Crossing them is.
That's why there is no room in Islam
for extremism.
No room for it.
It's.
We are a moderate nation.
We neither go to the extreme right nor
to the extreme left.
You know, the
prophet who heard
about the group of the Sahaba who came
to his household
and asked
about his atone,
and when they were told, they considered
little.
And they said we have to do more
than him because Allah forgave him all his
his sins.
So we have to do more.
So one says, I will not marry woman.
Another one say, I will
stay awake the whole night praying. Another one
said, I will not never
break my fast. I will keep fasting.
So the newsagent
immediately,
he called for a meeting and gathered the
Muslims in the Masjid, and he addressed them.
They say, what the wrong goes with some
of you?
None of you can
be more righteous than myself.
I am more righteous than you.
I fear Allah more than you.
Yet,
I pray and I sleep.
I fast and I break my fast,
and then marry women.
And who is not satisfied with my way,
he's not from me.
He had to nib the
this issue
in the bud.
Had to leave it in the bud.
Had to address it and uproot
this
little plant of extremism
from the hearts of the Sahaba.
No room for
the extremism in Islam. No room for it.
So Allah is warning and addressing the Christians,
do not go to extreme.
And never say anything regarding Allah except the
truth
because you are
lying and you are attributing
things to Allah
that
he never said.
And you
formed your own
concept about God,
which is not true,
purely
erroneous.
Paul invented for you the concept of the
trinity.
So Allah is warning them. You
should not say something regarding the law accept
the truth.
Then he started explaining to them and correcting
their misconception
and their wrong belief regarding
the nature of Isa
alaihi
salam. Christ.
So he's telling them,
Remember,
which means
when you hear you see, come across it,
it means only.
It limits.
Okay?
What is going to be said, it is
confine the
the the the meaning to only this meaning
that is mentioned.
So what is going to be said?
Okay? So now we are going to be
told
about
and what is he.
And who's talking? The one who created her.
Most certainly,
the messiah,
the son of Mary.
What is he?
That's it.
He is only Allah's messenger. He's one of
the mightiest
messengers Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala chose and sent.
Is
Allah's
word.
What does that mean?
Jesus Christ is the word of God. What
does it mean?
It means he was created
by the word.
Created by the word
be and he was.
The command be and he was.
As Allah said, in
the likeness of Isa
in
the sight of Allah
Adam like Adam.
He created Adam from the earth.
Then he said to him, be and he
was.
Be and
yours. So the same way,
Jesus Christ was created
by this command,
be.
That's why imam Ahmed in,
refuting the Jahmiyyah,
they said
beautiful statement. He said,
right.
Those who know Arabic.
Meaning,
Jesus Christ
was
created
by the word, b.
And he was not
the word b.
He was not the command. He was created
by the command.
So
this is the fulfillment
that Allah created,
Risa, by the command.
The command
was issued
to marry, to conceive, and to conceive.
That's it. No man touched Mary.
That's why she's al Batool,
the Moskesh woman. Madonna.
She's Madonna.
Al Batool.
Al
Batoor. Mean,
a spirit from him. What does it mean,
a spirit from him?
And you find many ignorant Muslim, they say,
we human beings have a divine part of
God,
divine secret, the soul,
and they
think when Allah breathe that the the rule
into
into Adam,
part of Allah is in Adam.
The soul is created by Allah.
It's not part of Allah.
But he ascribed it, attributed
it to him
to to
as a sign of honor
for it.
And remember, I mentioned this to you
many times,
the different types of what is attributed to
Allah.
If what is attributed
and ascribed to Allah
is a physical thing, physical,
something
material,
tangible,
and Allah attributed it to him.
For example, Baytrullah,
the house of Allah,
Al Kaaba.
So Al Kaaba is something physical.
Entity stands
in its own
and by its own.
So when Allah is saying,
this is only to
ascribe
and give
sacredness
and sanctity
to that
house. That's it.
Honor.
Honoring the house.
This is what we call,
This type of attribution
of honor.
So this is
one type.
Also,
The she camel of Allah.
Allah attributed she camel to him.
She camel.
The same thing like the house of Allah.
2nd
type,
it is something material,
but does not exist on its own.
It has to exist in something else,
and that is the
spirit, the soul.
Soul
is something material
created
by Allah.
That's why when Allah created it,
k,
the soul,
he breathed it.
This soul was put into Adam.
So the soul is something material created,
but we don't
know much about it.
And the proofs
that it is something created
that
when
the angel of death comes to take it,
it comes out.
It flows as in the hadith. It comes
out the soul,
and the angel of death takes it.
Because the soul does not
it needs to be carried always in something.
So it is carried by the body.
When it comes from the body, immediately, the
angel of death take it
and then hands it over to the angels
within,
and they wrap it in the shroud
so it is wrapped, then it will be
carried.
If it is a good soul to the
Jannah,
and then the jannah will be placed
in a bird.
So the soul will be in this bird
that will be flying in the jannah,
And under their resurrection, that soul will also
be taken and put back into the body.
So,
Isa is one of these souls that Allah
created.
Not that he is part
from Allah.
So this is the second type. The third
type
of what you attribute to Allah,
if what is attributed
is something
it's only abstract.
It's not something material
that can be touched. Abstract.
It's just a meaning.
Then if this, got its abstract
attributed to Allah, then it is
an attribute of Allah.
For example,
when you say,
knowledge
Allah. So this was an attribute of Allah.
The hearing of Allah.
The sight of Allah.
So if what is attributed is abstract, then
it is
an attribute of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So
has created
just Allah attributed to him like he attributed
the camel to him and the house to
him.
So keep this in mind.
So he's one of the souls that Allah
created.
So this what Allah is telling us about,
Isa alaihis
salam.
So he is telling
the people of the scripture
after he,
explained to them the nature of Christ
believe in Allah
and his messengers.
Don't say trinity.
Detest it.
Leave it.
Stop saying that.
Stop it.
Better for you.
Now see the beauty of the Quran.
So he corrected them
and corrected their misconception
about Christ.
Now he's telling them about himself.
Allah,
your creator
is one god.
No partners,
no son,
no wife, nothing.
Subhan.
When you come across Subhan,
this means
you are saying Allah is far away
from any imperfection.
So you are glorifying
Allah
and admitting that Allah is far away and
above all imperfections.
Glory be to
him.
That you attribute a son to Allah.
Attribute
the
son
to
Allah.
To
him
belongs
what
is
in
the
heavens
and
the
the earth. And the law
is sufficient for you to rely upon
as a trustee
of all
your affairs.
Also, Allah said this Surah Al Maida.
You see the Quran
talking about
Tawhid.
And yet you find
those
advocates
of
tomb and grave worship.
Then say, why you are always talking about
to hate, to hate, to hate?
Because that what I like
you for.
There's nothing more important than the than the.
When the prophet
sends to Yaman,
what did he tell him?
First thing he told him,
asked them to
and
to worship Allah alone.
That's why, my dear brothers and sisters, in
the dua,
if the is
not
that number one item in the agenda
of the dua,
then this
Dua will never succeed,
will never prosper,
though he comes before
anything.
There will not be any unity among the
Muslims without the Tawhid.
No Tawhid without Tawhid.
No unity of the Muslims without the unity
and the belief in the oneness of Allah
and worshiping Allah. Hello.
Always.
Should be always
the the most important thing
we call the people too
and in your life
and keep
calling the people
to the
and reminding
them. Because the
liberates you from worshiping anything.
Because the opposite of the tawhid is the
shirk,
and you cannot be free person without tawhid.
We don't have tawhid, you have shirk.
When you actualize that in your life, you
will become a free
person,
real free.
Otherwise, you will be
worshiping other gods, small g,
other objects of worship.
Many people, they worship many things.
Many gods, they worship.
That's why in the hadith,
Woe to him, the worship of the Durham
and Dina. So there are many people that
worship money.
Money is
many people that worship
stardom,
fame.
That is their god.
Also, it says in Surat al Maida, I
s 73.
Those who say Allah is 1 in a
trinity,
the father, the son, and the holy ghost,
have certainly fallen into disbelief.
They blasphemed.
There's only 1 Ilah, 1 god.
If they do not stop saying this,
those who disbelieve among them will be afflicted
with the painful punishment.
Painful
because
they worshiped others besides Allah,
And they attributed
a son to him,
and they made partners with him.
Also, our says, Surat Al Anam.
So
in Surat Al Nair,
our says,
again,
the
one, the oneness of Allah.
Our
See the Quran? The problem that we are
reading the ayaat just like that.
The whole Quran is to read.
And say there is only one god,
and I totally reject whatever idols you associate
with him.
So let's first see about eye number 6.
Say, oh prophet,
I'm only a man like you, but it
has been revealed to me
that your god is only one god.
So take the straight way towards him
and seek his forgiveness
and woe to the polytheist,
the Muslims.
So this ayah,
the prophet
is telling us, the believers,
the Muslims,
about his nature
that he's a human being
like
us,
except that Allah chose him
and
revealed to him
and gave him
revelation.
Don't you know
many Muslims today,
they talk about the
and they
elevated him above his status
that Allah
placed him in?
You hear some of them. They're saying the
prophet is created
from
light
from light.
He has no shadow.
The prophet,
sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
from his light,
Allah created everything.
Allah created the whole
creation
for the prophet
because of the prophet
This is extremism.
This is the that
the prophet
warned us against it.
When he said,
Do not exaggerate
exaggerate.
Do not cross the limits
as the Christian did with Jesus Christ.
Most certainly,
I am
abservant of Allah and messenger.
So
say
These two words,
save us from going to
extremes.
The word Abd,
we don't attribute divinity to him.
We don't say that he knows
the unseen.
He knows everything.
He can help you now.
Just ask him.
If you ask him now, he doesn't hear
you.
And when you send
upon him,
Allah brings back
the soul to the body,
and
an angel conveys to him
your salaam.
And the Saharan
knew that very well. That's why when
the the
passed away and during the rain,
they
they had drought.
They didn't go to the grave of the
prophet to ask him.
They asked Al Abbas, the uncle the uncle
of the prophet
who was alive
to ask Allah to send the rain,
the prayer of.
Al Abbas was alive.
They didn't go to the grave of the
prophet
because they knew they cannot do that,
and they could not do that.
So don't go to.
The prophet
doesn't know the, doesn't know the unseen.
Had he known the al Seen, he would
not had he would not have eaten
the piece of meat, which was stuffed with
poison
the Jewish gave him
until Allah made that piece of meat to
talk.
Had the prophet
known that and seen he would have known
that his wife, Aisha, was innocent
not to wait for 1 month
until Allah informed him.
Had he known the unseen?
Okay? He would have
told the Sahara
the Nicholas
of
Aisha
is
under
the
camel.
Had he known but unseen,
he would have known
the spell
that was cast on him. So
the prophet
doesn't know the unseen,
doesn't know the.
So he's Abdullah. He's a servant of Allah.
And if it's created from light,
he's light.
Why Aisha
was searching for the needle
in the room,
and she couldn't locate it.
If the prophet was right, the room is
will be
lumen.
She said, I
lost a needle, and the room was dark,
and I was searching for it.
So stop this that
the
are practicing,
and they
preach and teach.
And if you criticize them, they say, you're.
You hate the prophet.
So, Abdullah,
so he is the servant of Allah.
So we don't go to extremes.
And he is Rasulullah.
The word
stops us from
attributing
to him things that
only can be attributed to Allah,
and but he is Rasulullah, so he should
not lower his status.
He's Rasulullah.
So we have to
show and intensify
our reverence and love and respect for him.
It's
a pseudo. It's not like anyone of us.
That's
why when said,
after this the treaty
of Hudavia
was signed,
and now they have to
remove their
and go back to Medina without reforming Umrah.
Said no. Umrah was boiling, and he came
to say, Abu Bakr. He said,
Abu Bakr, aren't we upon the heart, upon
the truth? Said yes.
Say, why don't we compromise?
He thought it is a compromisation,
Abu Bakr
said
said,
Omar,
What are you talking about?
You forgot that he is Allah's messenger?
He's guided by Allah?
Stick and stay
next to the state of of the state
of of his house.
Said no Umar said,
I did
a lot of good deeds
after that.
Charity works. I
gave sadaqah
to expiate
for what I have said I had sent.
So here's the Rasulullah
The girl the girl in Medina, the when
the the prophet
sent one of the Sahaba who was not
handsome
to a family
telling them,
my prophet sent me to you to get
me married to your daughter.
So the parents,
human beings,
they saw his looks,
so he didn't find anyone else.
So they were discussing.
Their daughter heard what they they were discussing
and what the man said.
She
shouted from
behind the curtain,
I have accepted
him.
I had accepted him.
A husband,
my beloved prophet
chose him for me. Finish.
So here
in
number 6, Allah says, all say
I'm a human
being. It's a human being. Thank you.
And he's from the children of Adam.
He's not created from light.
In the hadith, the prophet said,
created the jinn from
the the bluish flame part of the flame,
created the Malaika
angels from light,
and he created Adam from what he told
you.
And the is
one of the children of Adam. He's not
from the Malaika, so he's created from light.
Your your
god,
reveals to me
that your
is 1.
So take the straight way towards him.
Worship him alone.
And seek his forgiveness.
And woe to the,
the polytheist.
Also, Allah said is Surat Gafar.
I
have 12.
This
is because when Allah alone was invoked,
you
staunchly
staunchly
dismayed.
But when others were associated
with him in worship,
you readily believed.
So today,
judgment belongs to Allah alone, the most high,
or great.
So here, Allah
is saying,
So Allah is describing
the situation of the mushriks.
Whenever
Allah
is called alone,
You disbelieve.
Strongly,
staunchly,
strongly,
you disbelieved.
Well, you shocked me, but
when others are associated
with him, when
your idols are mentioned,
believe me, today, the same. Those who are
sinking in the mire of shirk,
may Allah guide them and
from among the Muslims.
When you hear you talking about Tawhid,
worshiping Allah,
they feel that
they are hearing something that
they don't like.
Irritated
when they hear the tawheed.
As if you are talking about,
oh, this wali did this this wali.
The wali can give life to the dead
also, the wali.
Because the Survis,
they have a Golger rule says,
So whatever is
giving to messenger or prophet as a Merjizah
medical,
it can be karama or any of the
uliya of Allah, karama.
And we talked about the
and the difference between the two.
So
Musa,
he split the sea, the way he can
do the same thing.
Isa alaihi salam gave life to the dead,
well, he can do the same thing.
The prophet
came with the Quran. His miracle is the
Quran. Can the come
up with the Quran
like the Quran of the prophet?
May Allah guide them. They don't know what
is coming out of their heads, and this
is because of the.
This is because of extremism,
crossing the limits.
So when you they hear that you this
will you did that, oh,
you see the this
broad smile,
big smile on their faces.
But their faces will become gloomy if they
hear to hate,
And you are telling them
those dead are helpless,
cannot help you, etcetera. This is a.
Also, Allah says,
and Surat al Mumtahana,
a number 4.
Yeah.
All the Muslims to the
Allah says,
The meaning.
You already have an excellent
example in Abraham
and those with him.
When they said to their people,
we totally dissociate
ourselves from you
and shun whatever idols you worship beside Allah.
We reject you.
The enmity and hatred
that has arisen
that has arisen between us and you will
last until you believe in Allah
alone.
The only exception is when Abraham said to
his father,
I will seek forgiveness for you,
adding,
but I cannot protect you from Allah at
all.
The believers prayed, our lord, in you, we
trust,
and to you, we always
turn,
and to you is the final
return.
Let us reflect in this beautiful
stokes
about
the. No one talks about it.
But
who
is telling us the believers is a good
example
for you
in Ibrahim alaihis salaam.
You need to take him as your role
model,
and those with him
is followers.
If
when they told their people,
We wash our hands off you.
We have nothing to do with you.
We reject you.
We dissociate
ourselves from you
and from what you worship and associate with
Allah.
We disbelieve in you.
Between us and you is nothing there except
enmity and hatred
forever.
Forever
until
until you believe in Allah alone
till you
become monotheist,
not polytheist.
You worship Allah and Allah alone.
Accept what Ibrahim
said and promised his father.
When he told his father, I will ask
forgiveness for you
on the day of resurrection.
One night, I'm looking like a
I cannot help you on and avail you.
Everything is in Allah's hand, but I will
ask Allah to forgive you.
This what the believer
should do, always put his trust
in Allah.
And to you,
Destiny
will return
to you.
Ibrahim alaihis salam, as in the hadith,
the prophet said,
My father,
that Ibrahim will meet his father, Azel,
in the day of resurrection. And he said,
my father,
I called you. I invited you before. You
didn't believe in what I
called you to.
So today, I believe in you.
So Ibrahim will cry to Allah.
My my lord, you promised me
and your promise is the truth
that you will not disgrace me
on the day they are resurrected.
This is my father.
Allah tells Ibrahim,
Ibrahim,
I have forbidden for the
disbelievers.
Imagine now
Ibrahim,
his father,
talking.
Oh,
Ibrahim is asking Allah to forgive his father.
Allah is saying no.
The Mushriks and kafirs will not enter the
Jannah,
and then Allah
transforms
Azzel, the Ibrahim's father,
into
male
hyena
animal,
male
hyena.
And then this male hyena will be
picked up and
thrown into the fire.
So Azar will be
punished and tortured
in the hellfire in the form of a
hyena
a hyena.
May
Allah make us die upon the.
And may Allah guide our and bring it
to the.
And
may
Allah
save us from all forms of shirk,
and may Allah keep us to remain steadfast
on this beautiful deen
Until
we breathe breathe our loss and find our
love, please, with all of us. Amen. May
Allah guide our
to the truth
and bring us all
to the truth,
and may Allah unite our hearts upon the
truth.
And may Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance,
and may Allah
bless us
bless us with the beneficial knowledge of our
just
needs. And may Allah reward all of you,
my dear brothers and sisters, immensely
for your patience and attendance.
We have received a few questions. Please
let me know once you've received the first
one.
Yes. You shall.
Okay.
The first question,
the husband has a close female Christian friend
who talk to each other regularly.
Is it not haram to carry such a
relationship?
Can you be close friends with a cafe?
If with this relationship
but here, it's it looks from the question,
if not just,
normal,
I mean, as in office, for example,
with the colleagues,
can you give this me?
I sent you an email. Can you reply?
You know, it seem it seems from the
question
that it is more than that.
And this is, of course, playing with the
fire, and this is haram.
A Muslim who is in an environment, and
there are women around him,
he has to be very official, and he
has to lower his gaze.
He should not have
privacy or privacy with the woman.
He should not be alone,
and he should draw the, the lines. And
so that
every, all the women, they know that, this
is their limits
because
the biggest and
weakness
points and boy point of weakness for men
women.
A man,
when he's with a woman, he's weak.
Weak.
And leave alone that the shaytan is there
when a man and a woman are together.
And this relation, if it continues, it will
end up with,
the warmth of the bed with Zena.
So
this husband,
his wife
should talk to him openly,
advise
him,
reminds him,
Will you accept if I am working also
and
I have the same relation with my colleague?
Are you going to digest it?
Can you stomach that?
Why you accept it for yourself?
So it is halal.
The relation between the
the coworkers
or the colleagues,
it's very official just
within the
the job itself.
So we are official. We communicate. We,
talk. This is the
nature of the,
working together with the opposite steps.
You have to be very official.
K?
Even if, for example, you are a manager
and,
one of the staff or the
the subordinate,
a female came, she has a problem,
or you are for example,
I mean,
I worked in this environment for
many years.
K?
So now it is evaluation, so you are
assessing her. The door should be open,
not closed.
So everyone sees everything,
and you are not looking at her. And
there's a distance between you and her.
Just as
like, if there is COVID 19 there, keep
a distance.
K?
This is my advice for all the brothers
and sisters.
Next question.
The next question. My spouse wants to cut
off my child from a relative who is
a cafe.
Is this allowed in Islam? Do I knee
do I obey him in not permitting my
child to see my Christian relative?
The answer, you listened to your husband, and
now
I fly the handle.
Listen to me, sisters.
When I am tough with you,
not because I hate you,
but because I want you to wake up.
And everyone has to know his rights,
his obligations,
his limits.
A husband at home is not a joker.
He's not a figurehead.
He's the head of the family.
He's the capital of the ship.
He's the one who steals the the ship
until it reaches
its destination
safely.
So if the father, he said, I don't
want my son
because
he might be influenced. He might hear things,
Or he
might eat something haram.
I'm a Muslim.
I want to bring my child.
That's his right.
He's the shepherd.
He's the caretaker.
He will be held accountable.
That's his right.
So my advice to you sisters,
you have to obey your husband as long
as he doesn't
ask you
to do something.
As long as he doesn't ask you to
do something.
No woman listen to this hadith of the
prophet.
No woman can
fulfill all her obligations
completely towards her husband.
Difficult.
Difficult.
But try your best.
This doesn't mean I am now
praising the the men or,
flattering them. No. Everyone
has obligations towards the other.
The prophet said,
he asked a woman,
are you married? He said yes.
Said, how are you with him with your
husband?
He is your
* and heaven, your husband.
If you obey him,
you go to heaven. Just obey him, you
go to *.
He is your heaven, and he is your
*.
He said,
I try my level best.
I spare no effort in pleasing him.
So be
obedient to your husband.
Give your husband his rights,
and every sister
should make her home have heaven on earth,
paradise.
So she gives her husband whatever he needs
within halal.
He wants you to sing. He wants you
to dance.
He wants you to do funny things
in the bedroom.
It's halal.
Thinks that,
satisfy his desire.
He doesn't look for it outside.
When he goes to the office,
all these women around him,
he does not look at them
because he has everything at home.
If he's missing things at home,
he will look for it outside.
Same thing goes to the men.
If your wife is not getting everything, she
will look at somewhere else.
She doesn't
have that affection from you and love and
romance.
That's what happens.
Her colleague
will keep praising her. Wow. You are this.
You are that. And women, they like to
be praised,
and then she will fall into the trap
of the shaypa.
I hope this is clear all to all
the brothers and sisters.
I'm not biased
when
I talk about these issues.
I talk from my heart
for all of you because I love all
of you,
and we want to have strong Muslim families.
Next question, please.
Well, the next question.
Will our wife be termed ungrateful if her
rights are fulfilled,
but she still expects appreciation
in other matters, like if the food that
she prepared was good, etcetera?
These things you see, I I want you
to under I
I think I shared this book with you
before, but I will even share it again.
Men are from Mars, and women are from
Venus.
Read it.
The mindset
of the man is not like the mindset
of a woman.
The way men
think is totally different,
and I
recommend this book to be read by all
those who are
planning to get married.
So you know how women think,
and you should know how men think.
We are not the same.
For example,
a man the
men, the way they express
express their love for their wives
by buying gifts for them.
He buys for you for his wife,
ring,
bracelet,
necklace, something valuable,
nice dress. That's how he
he expresses his
his feelings and his love.
Women,
that's not enough for them.
That's their nature.
Women, they love to hear
that you say, darling,
sweetheart,
honey.
They like they love to hear these things.
I miss you.
So we have to learn. Yes. I admit.
It's not there in our
gene.
Okay? But we need to train, and we
can improve. Men can improve.
Though it is
you feel it is you are acting, but
then you will get used to it.
So don't be surprised
if your wife and now you have kids
and being living for and he stands in
front of you like a child.
Do you love me?
You go,
what is this?
Oh, the things that they have been doing
for you.
Not enough to express my love? The poor
girl wants to hear it from you.
So coming to the question. So if he
makes you nice dish
good meal, say,
This is really nice.
Okay.
I appreciate the effort you spent in the
kitchen.
The guests, by the way,
are thanking you and
praising the the meal and
when you tell her these things,
she's flying, the poor girl. She's flying.
And I tell you one thing.
When your wife loves you,
she will
she will do everything for you
because she
loves
you. So work on that.
But, also, we should not be,
idealistic
or believe what you see in the movies
and,
in the novels. No. Life is not
like that. Not like that.
We have to be
realistic,
and we have to balance things.
Life
marital life cannot be dry.
Time to time, you you go with your
wife
outside.
You alone spend the weekend together.
You
reenergize
your marital life.
That is
important and needed.
I hope this is clear to all of
you. May Allah bless your
marital life and make it happy and successful,
Amin.
Next. Amin,
The next question, do men need to wear
undergarments during Iran?
No. You don't, wear undergarments
or underwears.
You don't.
Unless there's a medical,
reason, like diapers and things like that. Different.
The man doesn't wear underwears at all.
Next.
The next question. What is the ruling on
wearing sunscreen or moisturizer during the state of
Iran?
Avoid all these things
unless it is essential that
affecting you, and it is not having perfume.
It's not,
scented. There's no scent in it. No smell
of it.
The hiram, it's only take few few hours,
so avoid all these things.
Next.
The next question.
If a man wraps his private parts with
something in order to prevent impure discharges
from coming out, then is the and valid
even though the impure discharges are not continuous?
This one's question has not changed?
Apologies. I've,
missed one. The the question was, do do
all objects of Seher need to be burnt,
or can they be destroyed by another way,
I e crushed?
Do all objects of Sahib need to be
burnt or can they be destroyed by another
way like crushing?
Those who have experience in, in this field
in this field, they mentioned that
they they find if they find the sejed,
they dissolve it.
Okay? Or if it is paper, they they
burn it. And they say this how it,
the sehar will be nullified
nullified. So the,
you know, when the sehar happened to the
prophet,
they
re untied the knots they found
to nullify its effect.
So if it is this written
on papers or things like that, burn it,
and
that will,
will will cancel the effect of it.
Because you see,
the many people they have found.
For example, those magicians and charlatans, what they
do,
they make the the spell of the and
they tie it, and they some, they
bring
a a pigeon
and tie it in the leg of the
pigeon. So the pigeon is always
this dove or a pigeon pigeon is flying.
So sometimes if you catch it and you
find a second,
burn it.
Some, they
attach it to a fish in the water
to make it difficult to locate it.
May Allah
cure all those who are
under the spell, and they are suffering from
the Sahil Amin. Next.
Amin, the next question. If a man wraps
his private part with something in order to
prevent impure discharges from coming out, And is
the and prayer valid even though the impure
discharges are not continuous?
Now if this man if I got the
question
right,
if he is having medical
issue,
and that is what is called,
med meda,
radulum meda. Always,
this
prostatic fluid is coming out.
Like I said, Ali was radulum meda.
Always this fluid is coming out.
And Sayidna Ali was always taking shower always
taking shower
till his the skin of his back started
clacking.
So he found it difficult, and he was,
he felt shy to ask the pastor because
he's the son-in-law.
So he went and asked Al Nqdad to
ask the pastor.
What should he do? Should he take a
shower?
Asked
the prophet, and we said no. No need
for him to take a shower, to take
only to wash the private part and take.
So now if this
questioner
is having this problem,
then he put something around the the organ.
Like, someone who's having always urine is coming
out, the same thing.
And even if it comes during the salah,
the salah will be will be correct.
But if this fluid is coming out because
of the excitement,
because of rubbing the
the the organ,
then, of course, that
will, break his will do.
That's why the,
they talked about the kiss
because if someone kisses his wife.
And
if you just touch the hand of your
wife like this, your will do is is
broken
in But the strongest opinion,
that will not break the will do because
the prophet
was kissing
Aisha and
go to the Masjid.
And Aisha touched him when he was in
the in the prayer.
And the,
the meaning of it or if you touch
woman here, touch means
having intimacy,
sexual *. That's it.
But the ulama said, but if someone kisses
his wife while having wudu
and he got erection
and discharge, then, yes, the is nullified
is nullified.
I hope this is clear to the to
the questioner.
Next.
Barag Afik, the next question.
Is it true that all Islamic banks engage
in river activities?
For example, they claim that they trade with
our money deposited with them using or
and give back profit at the end of
the month. Is this consumption of such profit
halal? And could you also kindly
illustrate
a transaction?
Now
to generalize and say all Islamic banks, that's
not correct.
Islamic banks are meant to be
a solution for the Muslims to avoid the
river.
And the Islamic banks, they cannot
practice
the and follow the river system. They cannot,
and they don't do that.
And they have committees
who keep checking them
and checking the the the transactions.
But as individuals
inside,
because some of the the the staff, they
just came from conventional bank, and they don't
know anything about your plan.
K?
That's different.
For example now,
the,
if you want to buy a car, for
example, and you go to the bank,
If they would assess and own the car
and they sell it to you,
that's halal.
But if they don't own assess it and
they say, we will buy it and then
sell it to you,
then they are selling to you something they
did not they do not possess,
they do not own, they do not have,
and you cannot sell something you don't
have it. You don't possess it.
That's why many banks, they have their own
showrooms
and the different types samples of cards.
Say, these are our cars. You want it?
We'll sell it to you. That's halal.
But to
sell something you don't own, you don't possess?
No.
Then what I've had that
you give the money, and they are using
it for you, and they are doing the
the,
the efforts. They are exerting efforts
and using the money. That is
permissible in Islam. That's permissible.
I done not in business. I have money,
and someone doesn't have money, but he is
clever,
and he knows how to,
make business.
And then we agree mutual agreement
about the profit. That's that's halal. No issue
with it. Next question.
The next question, Is it better for a
Muslim woman who is practicing to remain single
or to marry her cousin from another country
who is engaged in haram and his family
does shirk acts?
No. If he's engaged in haram and he
is doing shirk,
he and his family, no.
Stay away from that. But,
ask Allah
to bless you with the husband, and may
Allah
bless you with the pious, righteous husband
soon.
It's for a sister that she should not
stay
or unmarried
because the marriage is essential for both men
and women,
boys and girls,
and we have to facilitate and make it
easy for them. I mean, May
get all the bachelors and spinsters
married
and bless them with pious, righteous partners, Amin.
Next.
Amin,
the next question.
My family owes me money.
I heard that they were handed to another
sibling to give it to me and act
as a witness instead of myself directly. Can
I refuse and ask for the money to
be given to me directly?
No. Don't refuse. Don't refuse.
They are giving me back your money. Don't
refuse.
Next.
The next question, can a child be named
Albatul?
Albatul? Albatul means
or
alba albatul.
Batul. Sorry. Yes. Tul
means like Mary, albatul.
K? Madonna,
Batool.
No. You see, always these names that carry,
praise, we should avoid should avoid.
Next.
Madam Wafi, the next question.
A wife has a lot of conflict with
her husband, like noisy,
roundness, disobeying, etcetera.
And she always complains headache or back pain
and swollen legs, and the doctors say nothing.
But she is saying that all the time
when the husband is with her, she feels
strong headache. And, also, when she's near the
gates before entering the house, she fell starts
feeling pain. So could this be due to
the Jin?
Can be.
Or it can be something psychological.
And,
my advice for all the brothers and sisters
not to attribute everything to jinn jinn jinn
because,
some countries,
Muslim countries, they everything is,
and I evil I,
things like that. No.
What is the problem
when this happened?
What caused it?
Sit down.
Write down what are the possible things.
Reprogram your mind. Think positively, not negatively.
K.
And reading yourself
the. Read the
Quran. Keep engaged in the dua. Ask in
the Allah
and
your situation will be improved
be improved
See why what is the problem between you
and your husband your husband? What causes
the the trouble? What is
causing this headache?
Though I know that
this is a common symptom among women. When
they don't want to come to bed, I
have a headache.
All the women
throughout the world.
All of they have migraine headache.
Next question.
There is a brother who wants to ask
the question live. If you would like to
unmute yourself, brother Ali.
Brother Ali, if you want to unmute yourself,
now is your chance.
Okay. We'll do that. That's fine. This was
the final question.
K. Can you hear me, please?
