Brothers and sisters, Assalamu alaikum.
My dear respected brothers and sisters who are

of the new series with our beloved Sheikh,
Salem Al Amri,
based on the new text Insha'Allah,
Kaswur Subhahad, the removal of the doubts.
This is the first,
lesson,
for those, brothers and sisters who've been with
us regularly.
As you are aware,
we just completed
the previous text,
which was
the 4 principles of shirk.
And now we are moving on to the
next, text.
We have the blessed opportunity to study under
Sheikh Salim
on a regular basis, on a weekly basis,
and we are covering a number of texts,
1 by 1.
For those who are not aware, on Mondays,
we do have a lesson,
based on the text of Usul al Falafa.
Or, Falafa to Usul, the 3 fundamental principles.
You are all welcome to join that on
the same link

6 PM to 8 PM UK time.
For any brothers and or sisters joining us
new,
just to inform you of our
process for question and answers. So, usually, what
happens is the sheikh
delivers the dust in the first hour, and
the second hour, we usually take question and
answers.
So we take questions
only on the platform of Zoom.
So if you're with us on Facebook or
YouTube,
please,
if you have questions, you must, join us
on the Zoom meeting
and,
ask your questions there. We take it via

If you wish to have the Zoom links,
it is available
on our Facebook page
or send a WhatsApp
message requesting it
to Al Haramain, Madras and Quran Schools. I
do not wish to delay it any longer.
We wish that, you all benefit.
Allah's grace, we are starting
a new text,
Kashfi Shubaha,
compiled
by the imam, then we get the
revivalist,
reformist,
the reformer,
Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahab
The title or the name of the book
is Kaswah Shubuhad,
And the one we finished
is Al Musa Al Arba,
4 Principles.
There in in that book, the Sheikh
was laying foundations
and principles
to agree upon.
Because
realized
that those who opposes,
they don't know
the real message
of the
or the concept of the is
not clear in their minds.
Their understanding of shirk
is so vague.
You could hardly define it.
And when you don't when you don't know
something,
then you cannot,
negate it or you cannot deny that you
are not,
doing it
because you
are unable to
define it,
and you don't know. You are not aware
about it.
So that was his intention
to tell them that
these are principles leaders agree upon
that
the shirk,
which was present at the time of the
is
not different from the shirk
you are
committing
and you are practicing.
So
some responded
positively
and others continued
fighting his dawah.
So here in this
text,
the
Sheikh of Is
now
refuting them.
He refutes their,
Their misconceptions,
their misunderstanding,
their false allegations.
That's why.
Removal
of the doubts.
So first of all, let us try to
understand what is the meaning of
and what's the meaning of the.
Shukha?
So the meaning of al kesh
if something is covered by something,
then you are removing the cover
to make that thing
free now and visible.
So
that is the meaning of alkesh.
So alkesh is to lift up something
by removing what covers
and hides it. It is hidden and covered
by something,
so remove that.
So, you
know, the sheikh is
trying to remove
these layers of misunderstanding
and layers of ignorance,
compound ignorance here.
I hope that you still recall
the types of.
Simple ignorance and compound.
So here, there is a compound ignorance,
which is very difficult
because it requires a lot of efforts.
First of all, you remove
what is there in their minds,
the misconceptions, the misunderstanding,
and then you present to them the truth.
So
is to lift up something by removing what
covers and hijacks.
And you clarify the matter.
Now he clarified the matter to us. The
matter
was
vague, hazy.
So
he came and clarified the situation,
clarified the matter, and made it known and
conceivable. Now, yes, now we can see it
and now we can understand it.
Who
is an ecchymologist.
And,
an ecchymologist is a person who
studies the roots of the world
and chases them back to their roots,
and he compiled
a road good book in this regard.
So he mentioned
that in this book,
he said,
Now you I hope now you understand. Means
to remove the kafar.
K?
So
he removed
his sorrow.
He removed
his grief.
You are overwhelmed
with grief, with sorrow, sadness,
so Allah removes the sadness and sorrow.
So Allah
the one who removes the sorrow and the
sadness is Allah.
Removes it.
So and and that is in the same
way the Quran used this,
word,
kashafa.
Allah
says
If Allah catches you
with harm,
none can remove it.
None can remove it except him.
And if he touches you with a blessing,
he is most capable of everything.
Everything.
So if he touches you with harm,
that harm, no one can remove it
except to him.
So that's why my dear brothers and sisters,
something happens to us
when we are
in difficult situation.
No one can remove this
and ease the matter except Allah.
What we Muslims now are going through,
this state in which we are,
and this shows actually the the fulfillment of
the prophecy of the prophet
when he said the people,
your enemies,
okay,
will attack you from every corner.
They will call each other.
They will call each other.
Just in the same way, the eaters
eaters
call each other to the to the plate.
But
who can
help?
Who can remove
the harm and lift it up?
So this is what we have to have
in our hearts.
We should have this
European
and trust in the Allah.
While your dad here on in Ladina,
Allah defends them what we need. Allah
defense the believers.
He himself defends.
So if Allah touches you with harm,
none
can remove it except him. So never turn
to anyone except to Allah.
Except to Allah.
Our hearts, my dear brothers and sisters, should
be attached,
linked
to the creator of the heavens and the
earth
to outweigh
the most powerful
Our weakness, our situation,
no one
can improve it except Allah.
So we have to turn to him.
So I'm sorry. You know now, Kashif means
the one who removes
This
situation
and the kafar.
Also, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said
in
number. Ah, 62.
Ask them
who responds to the distressed.
Those who are distressed
when they cry to him,
relieving their reflection.
And who makes your you successors in the
earth?
Is it another god besides Allah?
Yet you are hardly mindful.
So Allah's heart is reminding us here.
Who responds
to your call
when you are in need?
Who responds to your call?
He removes.
And he relieves
the distress.
And then
he makes you successors in earth.
Successes in earth.
Earth. And it is coming,
and the one will make the believer successors.
And the ultimate
the ultimate
result
and the outcome
is for the what we need.
So that's what Allah promised,
that he will make the believer successors.
So who makes you successors in the
earth?
Is there any other god besides Allah or
be only?
How do you even matter the Quran?
Little, you remember.
You're hardly mindful.
So this
now we know the root kashafa means to
remove
to remove.
How about the shivahat?
So now we know. Kesh means removing.
Okay?
These doubts,
removing them.
Mommy or mine.
Cash.
So you have misconceptions,
you have misunderstanding,
things you think they are.
You think you are upon the truth when
you are not.
So now the sheikh is going to
take these doubts and address them.
So now we know the meaning of al
kash.
The plural of shubha.
Shubha.
And SubhanAllah,
Shaifan, as Ibn Said.
He said the shaitan
can access our hearts
through 2
ways.
Doubts.
This is one of his techniques.
And the second,
So either
or
Either through the doubts, he he tries
to plant the
seeds of doubts
into our minds,
And then
things, they get
bigger and bigger
until
you are confused.
You don't know
what's right, what's wrong,
because of the doubts,
and then
you leave the imam.
So this is
the approach of the shaitan,
Shavuhat
and Shahuat.
Shavuhat,
he said
the remedy and the cure for the Shabaha
is the
knowledge.
Because
when you have the light with you,
it's you will easily
recognize,
this is
something wrong.
This is not true.
The truth
stands clear,
but this is not the truth.
So with the end, you'll be able to,
figure out
the the flows
and defects
and such,
idea or such thought.
But if you are ignorant,
and this is the case of many
people,
then you will fall a prey
for the cheban.
So if you want now
to combat
and fight the cheban
against the doubts that he tries
to put into your mind. You need to
equip yourself
with the aim. You should have the weapon,
and that's the knowledge, the aim.
So this is so what should I do
for the time being
when I hear some shawaha? First of all,
try to
stay away from this shawwaha,
number 1.
People who are that's why don't sit with
people
of
Deviant thoughts,
Deviant
beliefs.
Don't sit with them.
Don't listen to them. Don't read their books
because you are
so weak.
You are a big enough.
So first of all, you need
and your
immune system,
your immunity,
the
I mean,
the religious immunity,
the iman immunity is weak.
So if your immunity is weak,
don't
go to places that are full of,
microbes,
viruses.
Don't go.
Stay in a healthy environment.
Don't go to these places.
Don't visit such forums on the Internet.
Whether these forums run by the atheist or
agnostics
or deviant Muslims.
Don't go.
Don't be curious.
So
don't be curious.
Learn your deen first.
Listen to.
That's why
our
seller for Sadegh,
the pious prognosis,
were very strict.
They don't sit with the people of villas.
They don't attend their circles.
They don't allow their students to go to
them
because they know
what the students
will hear.
He was sitting in a circle.
And, you know, Hassan wasn't one of the.
So a group
of the came,
And they said, chief,
we will read some Quranic
ayat,
bible ayat. Some some of the want to
read to you.
He said, I will not allow you.
Because for sure, he knows that they are
not going to read Muscam.
They have that they are clear. They will
look for ayaat
that
to confuse
those around him, the students.
So he said, no.
Said, okay. We will need some.
He said, no.
Leave my circle.
So
the
this is how you protect your deal.
Later on, you become Adam.
Okay?
Then you can sit with
whomever
because you have their end. So no one
can confuse you, can
debate, you can do whatever.
That's so that's why
our scholars,
first of all, they sold their knowledge.
When they understood Islam very well,
then
they refuted
all the deviant thoughts.
All the deviants
beliefs at his time. He refuted all of
them. All.
He refuted
the
magicians,
the philosophers.
In his book,
Okay? Refuting the Greek logic.
He refuted the shias,
He refuted the
Achaia.
He refuted the service,
and he
was victorious in all his battles,
Ibrahim
But after what?
After he was an imam.
Imam in all the disciplines of knowledge,
tafsir,
lugha.
Even in the grammar, the the
he is challenging grammarians.
In the hadith, in this they say, when
you sit in the circle of Eventania,
if he is talking about the tafsir, he
say he's only Mufakshir.
If he's talking about Hadid, he's a
Mohammed. And imagine,
everyone sits in a circle benefits
because he was an ocean.
So first of all,
learn the deed.
That's how you protect your deed.
And second thing,
if by accident you hear a doubt or
a shiver,
immediately,
the first
reaction,
we should have
plan b,
our contingency
plan.
What if it something happened? Yes.
My plan will be
to
tell myself,
shame on me. Shame on me.
I'm ignorant about my deed.
I
know what this guy said is wrong. No.
I don't have the answer,
but I will ask my,
and they will clarify. But I'm sure what
he is saying is wrong.
By this attitude,
you stopped that
doubt from entering into your heart.
You plucked the way immediately.
You plucked it.
So you didn't entertain the idea.
You didn't give the person a chance
to plant the seed of doubt into your
mind.
And then you ask your chef, ask the
owner, they will clarify the matter to you.
Okay. So,
this is the remedy for it.
Pure for the shivahat is the
end. And the cure for the shahawat,
the desire,
the taqwa
taqwa.
Because the shaitan,
he tries to
reach your heart through.
He found you. You are part of them.
So
he couldn't
fool you.
But then he looked through the other window
and he found, oh, here he is weak
or she is weak
because
the dominates their life, his life or her
life.
So I will come through
the. Yes. Maybe he's maybe
he's a.
Okay?
Keep in mind, brothers and sisters,
that we are not angels.
So anyone
can
fall into the picture,
and especially the picture of women,
which is
one of the most dangerous.
So men should be aware.
Taliban should be aware. Dua should be aware.
Never
see this method lightly.
Never open the door
of the opposite *,
okay,
to cross the limit.
If you receive a telephone call,
ask your wife to answer.
Not you.
Because you are supposed to educate your wife.
Then you will they will not call back
because your wife is the one who picks
the phone
because they want to hear you.
Okay?
And that's how the shayta.
Or
if
you are in a situation
you have to answer, be official.
Very official.
To the point.
To the point.
Answer and that's it.
Bye.
Because the past last time I made it
clear.
That the biggest sweetener
the biggest fitness, afflexion, turbulation,
test
for the men of my home are women
women.
So lower your gaze.
Don't look at women.
If they ask you to give a talk,
ask for a curtain.
If they say we don't have curtain,
then don't look at them.
Your sight, your eyes, and your nose.
So that's how. So the shaitan now is
looking.
What is his problem or her problem?
Desire,
lust.
So let me attack him from this.
This is the the weak link.
This is the weak link.
So the,
he
that's how he
works around the clock.
Shabuhaat, doubts,
Shahawat,
desires.
What is the remedy for the desires on
the Shahawat?
He said,
What does this mean?
So he's saying
the sheen
and the back and the half.
So if
you come across a word
has these three letters,
so this is the root he said,
the sheen plus and
is they are having one origin
which denotes
similarity
between things.
So
means similarity.
He
He
resembles
his father.
He looks like his father.
There's a great resemblance
between him and his father.
So
remember,
he's saying the she and the and the
And Shubuhat,
what is the root if you want to
look for the word
Shubuhat? Where you'll
go? You go to the dictionary.
How you will search in the dictionary?
Arabic
lexicon,
not directly you go to Ashuba. No.
You
have to take the word
Ashuba,
Ashuba or Ashubaat.
And you have to remove the additional letters.
There are additional letters here.
And then
leave only the root and go and search
for the root.
This how you search in the Arabic dictionary.
So you
have the alf and the lamb. Remove it.
What are the original he said?
So you go to the
in the dictionary,
and you'll find all the derivative noun from
that root.
And the additional letters, which they will be
always there
in many words when you so when you
want to search,
remove them.
And they are all in one word.
So any one of these letters, remove it.
So then you will arrive at the root
and then you go and check.
Anyway,
so he's saying
is one origin which denotes similarity between things
both in color and quality.
You can say,
ship
or ship,
light or cinema.
So now let's just get it now
into
the text.
So now we know Kesha, Hashivah,
removal
of doubts. So we know the meaning of
Kashiv and we know the meaning of Hashivah.
So the old prophet said,
Bismillah.
So he started with the with
the.
And the,
the Muslim scholar, that's how they
start when they are starting, compiling and writing
books,
they start to do the
Because that is the sunnah.
Of course, the hadith about the
which says that,
any matter
doesn't start with the
or any subject. It doesn't begin with the
or It is
which means it is worried of any good
in it.
It is a week anyway. This is week.
But the
evidence
this for the
is
the hadith
of
the when
the
he sends the
the letter to
the
and all the letters of the prophet.
So I just should know. So
and we explained this
in the,
or
the 4 principles of.
But there's no harm in,
reminding you.
So when you say,
normally,
any word
that
has one of the letters
of what we call
haruf and jam,
The prepositions,
which
is
and the these are the letters.
And always,
if you find one of these letters,
the word after it is a noun.
The word after it is noun.
Immediately,
You'll hear
because it cannot be verb
because this of
the, the letters
mean
cannot be,
they will not receive the verb, but they
will come before a noun.
So so
the is half jal,
one of these letters,
And that's why the noun will have kasha,
miss me.
Miss me what?
Bismillah.
Bismillah what?
In the name of Allah what?
So that's why here,
this
this
has to be connected and
So all these
letters
of of the prepositions,
they have to be connected
and linked
with a verb.
K.
So
in the name of Allah,
where the verb here is omitted.
Okay.
Now I have to
imagine that verb.
So if I am writing
and say Bismillah
that means Bismillah
Aqchuj.
Bismillah
Aqchuj.
In the name of Allah, I begin writing.
Because the verb has to suit the situation.
We mentioned this before,
if you recall.
So when I say Bismillah,
that means in the name of Allah, I
am writing.
I begin writing or compiling this booklet of
this book.
If I am eating and say, Bismillah, Bismillah
what? In the name of Allah
what?
In the name of Allah, I start eating.
If I want to stand up, I say
which means in the name of Allah,
I stand and get up.
Okay.
And
we begin with
the for Barakah.
We begin everything
in the name of Allah
So all of it, when you want to
do something, you say.
Then he said,
Again, remember
this
kind heart with the shayes, he
plays for
you.
And he
starts with the word.
I hope that you recall
the different
ranks of comprehension.
And
to know things
to know something as is,
That is the uncertainty.
No.
There's
no deity where they worship
Allah.
No.
May Allah's mercy
be on you.
So he is praying for you.
And if Allah
bestows
on you
his mercy,
you're a winner.
You're a winner.
We'll always beg Allah for his rashma,
And you'd have rahma in our hearts.
Those who have who are merciful,
those who are kindhearted,
softhearted,
and
this is one of the features of.
One of the characteristics of.
As you understand, we've been saying
so
the they
know the truth
they know the truth
and show mercy towards mankind.
Mercy.
Proverbs 7, he spent 1 night crying for
the Nusheks,
praying for them.
This is.
The whole night, he's crying
and praying for that he died.
And, you know, in the when we
went to and loved the people of and
then Allah sent down the angel who was
in charge of toppling the mountains and Jibreel.
And he's telling him. Jibreel is telling the
prophet,
the angel is waiting for your command.
Tell him,
if you want the 2 mountains,
they will topple them over their heads.
This is the Rasulullah
said.
He
said, no.
No,
If they don't become
Muslims, I hope their children,
may Allah bring out of their loins
who will testify to the witness of Allah.
This is the
This is Muhammad
So
we have Rahma in our
hearts.
For everyone. We
want
everyone
to become a Muslim.
We want everyone to go to the
Jannah is so big, so vast.
And the Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he said the way to the Jannah only
one way,
and it's the way of all the prophets.
So you as a Muslim, you know,
you're on the hook,
and you know others
are heading to destruction.
Why don't you try to save them?
By the Dawa.
Dawa is our business, my dear brothers and
sisters.
We are accountable. The Muslim, Ummah, is responsible
to deliver the message, to deliver the hidayah.
So have this in your heart,
See, when he
saw
the
the monk
taking ablution,
He cried. You know, I'm a kind, and
he writes the,
a hard worker but in in vain.
He thinks
he he is on the right track. He
thinks that he's going to jail and he's
going to *.
That's why he cried,
And before we
elaborate on the,
something related also to the.
So bismillahi,
then al Rahman al Rahim.
What is al Rahman?
The entirely
merciful.
Entirely merciful.
Joking merciful
Allah's mercy
is sufficient for all.
He created, as you know, 100,
and he sent only 11 100.
And because of this 100,
we show mercy towards each other. And even
the animal,
the man left a tooth less to step
over its feet because of this 100.
The.
So Allah's mercy encompasses
everyone.
Allah's mercy overcomes his anger.
Allah's mercy deceives his anger.
That in that book,
my mercy overcomes. My anger,
my mercy
precedes
my
anger. The entire merciful.
The especially
merciful.
This is for the day of resurrection.
On that
day, the mercy is only for the believers.
For the non believers, the hellfire.
The hellfire.
Yeah? For the believers.
That's why Allah created
100 once he sent down 99 for that
day.
No. That's.
So this is the meaning of.
To single out Allah
with regards to
our
actions. So our
is a generic term, is a comprehensive
term.
So
the Imada covers everything
that pleases Allah.
Our actions,
the beliefs,
actions of the heart.
So whatever
pleases Allah,
it becomes an act of Ibadah.
So the hope of Ibadah in Islam is
so bold.
It's not confined and limited
to the,
5 5 5 pillars. No.
It covers
the entire
life,
all walks of life.
So all my acts, all my actions can
be converted into
by intention, by the nia.
Everything can be
converted into an active worship,
and Allah loves it. So anything Allah loves
is very bad.
Allah loves us to be just.
Allah loves us to be moderate. Allah loves
us to
be obedient to him. Allah loves us to
be obedient to our parents. So
name it.
All these things are acts of.
Allah loves
you, a sister, to be obedient to your
husband. So by being obedient to your husband,
as long as he doesn't ask you to
do something around, it is very bad.
Fulfilling fulfilling,
you know, by your logical needs becomes an
active worship,
and you will be rewarded on top of
that. That's what the said.
So the scope of in Islam,
it covers all all the works of
life. 247,
you are in the state of rebadah.
Your sleep is rebadah.
If by
when you go to sleep, you are going
to sleep, you have the intention, oh, Allah,
I go to sleep to gain strength to
worship you. So you are snoring,
you are sleeping,
and the angels are writing for you.
You are eating or a lie, eat.
My intention to gain strength to worship you.
While you are eating,
you get some hasanat.
So this
whole life,
which is
the average,
the life span of the,
Muslims,
60 to 70
average.
So how can I make all the 60
years rebada?
By the and
everything becomes an act of worship. That's what
the did.
So
and that's the meaning?
So
so all our acts should be offered exclusively
to Allah.
We
worship no one but Allah
We pray to no one but Allah.
We subjugate to no one but Allah.
We fear no one but Allah.
We cry to no one but Allah, etcetera.
And what is the tuhid?
Tuhid.
Here,
the word,
I want you to check it.
At Tohit, how you will search for the
dictionary?
You remove the additional letters.
What are the additional letters?
So here we have
remove it.
We have
we remove it. It is there in that
word.
We have yeah. We remove it. So what
remain?
Then you know now the definition of.
So
So it is a must have verb noun.
What does it mean
to make something
1
into 1.
Make things into 1.
Make something into 1. One single entity.
K?
So we worship only 1,
and that's Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Ibn Al Qayyim said, I hope you are
taking notes, my dear brothers and sisters.
He
said,
b 1
and
1.
For 1,
b 1
and 1.
I mean,
for 1, be 1.
And 1,
I mean,
the way of an email.
So what are these these three ones?
For 1, that's for Allah.
So you worship no one but Allah.
Be 1, be a monotheist,
not a polytheist.
Be.
In one in one path, in one way,
the way of the prophet.
You follow the footsteps of the prophet.
And
they classified
the
into 3 categories.
So now we know the meaning of singling
out,
making 1,
unity of lordship.
Unity
of
Loche,
which means singling out Allah regarding his own
actions,
regarding his own acts, the divine acts of
Allah.
That he's the king, he's the creator, he's
the cherisher, he's the fashioner, he's the
the
sustainer,
provider.
So you're single handed. So who is your
love?
This one who has all these attributes,
qualities. So
or an Imada. Imada. Of
course,
the will be
here. It is something
built within us,
people they know.
The creator is Allah
That's why the the messengers did not come
to address this issue because it is something
built with an inherent characteristics.
Everyone knows the creator of the heavens and
the earth is Allah,
the majority of,
mankind.
That's why when
you see the percentage of the throughout the
history of the,
atheist,
they're nothing,
negligible.
And in themselves, the reality they know, the
creators of us.
Creators
of
us.
So
that is the.
But the Rusul came
to address the issue of
unity of worship, unity of.
So
our acts
as believers,
our acts
should be offered exclusively
and only to Allah.
We pray to Allah. We bow to Allah.
We see Allah. Everything Allah, Allah,
Allah. So that's
all the unity
of worship.
Everything
for Allah
And the 3rd category,
the
mentioned
the unity of divine names,
the names of
Allah divine names and attributes.
What does this mean?
That we believe in all the most beautiful
names of Allah
We believe in their meanings, which are the
attributes,
The attributes of Allah and the names of
Allah
without giving resemblance
to anyone.
Nothing is like Allah.
Nothing is like Allah.
Whatever comes to your mind, that's not Allah.
So tell your mind, respect yourself. You cannot
imagine the creator
because you are limited,
little mind.
You cannot know who is behind the world.
How can you want to know who's behind
the earth and the earth? You cannot.
So respect yourself, little mind.
K?
So
we believe in his names and we believe
in his attributes.
The they suit his majesty
and glory.
The suit of Allah.
Allah sees us? Yes. He sees us.
How does he see?
Definitely not like us the way we see
with the eyes,
but he sees us.
We don't ask how because
how is he? We don't know
about him. They say, can we appreciate, he
told us.
Nothing is like unto him.
And he's all seer or Noah. So
Allah hears, Allah sees, Allah descends every night,
Allah will come on the day of resurrection.
It's all these things.
We believe in all his names
and all his attributes
in the light of this eye, raised the
chemically he shaved.
Nothing is like unto him.
And when the man came to Imam Malik
and asked,
yeah,
That's why Imam Malik started sweating.
The man came and said,
oh, Imam, Al Rahman, the most beneficent,
How did he make?
Means
to rise above.
That's the meaning.
And the man knows the meaning in Arabic.
He knows that.
But the man asks, kaifa, how?
So the man is not asking about the
meaning of the word. No.
The man is asking about the manna.
How Allah
is tawah,
the manna. How?
So he's asking,
how?
How is an action of Allah? How come
you know?
So that's why my mother start to sweat.
And then he said, where is the question?
The
word, we know its meaning. It's not
unknown to us. We know it in
Arabic. We know
the,
the ark of Noah,
the ship became on top of the mountain,
the plant is above
its
stem.
Imam Abin al Arabi, one of the grammarians,
he said I was in the
in the desert.
And an old man, Bedwin,
told
us,
Stu.
Stu.
We look to each other. We don't know
what's what he meant.
So a young boy said he is telling
you climb climb. Ascend. Ascend.
That's also meaning of.
Ascent.
So Imam Malik said, at least
we know it
in the language.
Well
and the how, the manner, we don't know.
Cannot
comprehend it.
Well and
the belief in it
is obligatory,
is a must.
Because he said
and
to ask about the how is a.
Leave my circle.
So that is the duaheed, Asma, and Sifa'at.
You believe in the names of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala
and the attributes of Allah in the light
of the Ayat. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
reward Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul
Abra
immensely. And may Allah elevate his status and
unite in Nain.
And may Allah
make us among those who
tread on the path
of tawhid and teaching the tawhid.
And may Allah
make us die upon the tawhid.
And the last word we pronounce is the
word of the tawhid, amen.
And may Allah keep us remain steadfast on
this beautiful deen
till we meet him, and he is pleased
with all of us. Amin.
May Allah reward all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters,
for your patience and attendance.
We can take some question and answers now
inshallah.
Brothers and sisters, as usual,
if you'd like to ask a verbal question,
please press on participant
and press on raise hand. We'll take your
verbal questions.
If you can do that now. We have,
we've have
a few
written questions already. InshaAllah, we'll start with those.
Okay. Let me look through.
Okay. The first question comes is, Assalamu alaikum,
Sheikh.
Why are ladies
not allowed to go to the graves?
But sometimes people say they can go. So
which one is correct? Can you please explain?
I found the.
Of course, this issue is
a controversial issue
or debatable between the.
So
if you hear the 2 opinions, you should
know this.
So those who are saying no, it's just
haram,
they based their
verdicts on the hadith.
May
Allah curse those women
who visits
the graveyard.
So this is a curse, which means
any
thing that involves curse, it is a major
sin.
That's how you differentiate
between the major sin and minor sin. So
the major sin is it has
a large curse in the perpetrator,
or there's a punishment
for it,
or denying and negating of the iman, then
it is a major sense. Right here,
Allah's curse. So it is a major sense,
such as.
So this is their,
argument based on this hadith.
The other
opinion says
this hadith,
is not talking about,
prohibiting the woman from going, but it's prohibiting
them from visiting
frequently.
Because they say,
intensive phone.
Means
they are visiting all the time, frequently.
But if she visit the graveyard occasionally,
from time to time,
then it's okay.
The reason they said this,
because the prophet
when he said,
so in the beginning,
the
to
protect the 2 hate.
He told them, don't
go to the graveyard.
Later on,
for now,
there's
there's no danger
that visiting graveyard will harm their belief,
so he told them. So
that was
obligated.
Remember
remember that I have forbidden you from going
to the graveyard.
Now
you can visit the graveyard.
And it is the by visiting the graveyard,
you will be reminded of the hereafter.
And you should know that
in the sharia,
there's no difference between the man and the
woman regarding
the obligations.
No difference.
Unless Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
says so.
Otherwise, what is an obligation for the man,
it is an obligation for the woman.
So the woman here, they need to be
reminded.
So they
this Hadid
addressing them.
Another evidence they used
that
said,
we were told not to follow the funerals,
but not strictly
not strictly.
Also,
she followed the prophet to the graveyard
in
one night.
And the prophet
did not
blame her for that. He blamed her that
why she came
thinking that he went to one of his
wives.
But he didn't tell her, oh, Aisha, didn't
you know it was haram
to come to the graveyard? She didn't say
that,
which means it is an evidence that a
woman can go to the graveyard
because the prophet Muhammad, he did not
blame her and he did not
criticize her for that.
And another hadith and evidence is that he
visited her, the grave of her father, Abdu'l
Baha.
So in a nutshell,
the strongest opinion, yes, women can visit the
grave,
providing that
not long frequently. And when they go,
they don't cry, they don't lamentate, they don't
slap their cheeks,
and they follow the sunnah.
And the purpose of the visit is to
be reminded herself to be reminded of the
hereafter,
for her heart to be softened,
and to make dua
for
the dead,
as the prophet
used to say.
No reading,
no reading,
all this.
That is not sunnah,
of the.
Is this clear to the question?
Brothers and sisters, I remind you again, if
you want to ask verbal questions, please press
on participant and raise hand.
The next questioner asks,
beginning with,
may Allah reward you, Sheikh and the organizers
immensely. Can we pray in front of a
mirror? That's the first question.
The same person asks the second question.
Can a man pray in a sleeveless shirt?
So first is, can we pray in front
of a mirror?
The second is, can a man pray in
a sleeveless shirt?
What is the sleeveless shirt?
Sleeveless, sir. Okay.
Sleeveless shirt. Okay.
Regarding playing in the mirror,
don't play in front of the mirror.
K.
Because there is a narration about that.
About the,
the sleeveless,
the hour of the man
is from
his navel to his knee.
That is the hour of the man.
Though in the salah, his shoulders should be
covered
in the salah,
preferably.
So if you have
the knees and they have the
ability to cover your shoulders,
you have to do you need to do
so.
But let's say that you don't have,
and
from the navel up to the knees covered,
then the salah
is correct.
So playing in this sleeveless shirt,
only the arms are shown for the man.
His salah is correct.
His salah
is correct.
It is better if someone
I mean, cover everything,
shoulder.
Okay.
The shins, etcetera.
But
you
need to be presentable.
Okay? Because you are standing before Allah
Regarding the woman, which the question I didn't
ask about,
the whole body.
Whole body of the woman is
needs to be covered.
That's what the prophet said.
So when you are praying,
accept your hands and your face.
The rest is covered.
So make sure your dress is long
and covering your feet covering
your feet. Is this clear to the question?
The next question I ask, is it,
permitted to pray with a mask in public
spaces?
Repeat the question, please.
Is it allowed to pray with a mask
on in public places?
The mask. You mean the mask that we
are wearing nowadays because of COVID 19?
Yes. Yes. That's the question. Yes.
Okay. The answer, yes.
Okay. Because the mask is here.
K. So the forehead will touch the floor
to charge the tire mat.
So inshallah, there's no harm.
We'll take the next question inshallah here.
We had a misunderstanding
with 1 of our brother and our mom
sided with 1 sibling.
Okay?
We had a misunderstanding
with 1 of our brothers, and our mother
sided with 1 sibling.
Since that day, my brother has cut off
relationship
with my mom.
He recently hung up the phone on my
mom.
My mom has looked off looked after my
niece since she was 7,
days old.
Her mother,
the niece's mother,
had passed away.
Until
when the incident occurred
at 5 years old, he took her
in not the best way.
He tries to cut off contact between my
mom and niece.
I hate my brother for his actions towards
my mom, especially
she sacrificed so much for us.
We also have been supporting him when he
is in need.
Can we cut off contact with him until
he comes to his senses? Please advise.
No. My advice for you not to cut
because that's what he wants. He wants to
forget you to forgive, to forget you all.
So keep
don't cut and silver the ties
and make you up for him.
He's still your father.
You don't want him to go to *.
Do you want your father to go to
*?
Because the one who
the child go, you will go to *.
And are you ready to help him to
cut his thighs
or to remind him to come back?
So keep making du'a sincerely
from your heart,
asking the law to guide him,
try to reach him,
try to go. Let him slap the slam
the door. Let him close the door on
your face. No problem.
You do it for the sake of Allah
And your mother, tell her, please, mom,
don't
make a dua against him. Pray for him.
May
Allah guide him
and bring him back to his senses and
bringing him back to
to the right
path,
and may Allah sharpen his heart
and make him proud
and dutiful to his mother.
Ameen.
Ameen.
We'll take the next question.
May Allah grant you all the good of
this world and in the Acher. May Allah
elevate your status among the and safeguard you
from all the evil of the creation.
I wanted to ask I mean, you too.
Okay?
I mean,
I wanted to ask, is the intensity
of Subuhat
and Sahawat
Sahawat
related to the level of iman of a
believer?
And are problems like Waswas, Seher, and Jin
possession
also related to how weak or strong the
iman or belief of a Muslim is?
The answer, yes.
The stronger the imam,
the less the shibaha will
will affect you because remember, when you have
a strong imam,
you have
and how you'll make your iman strong by
the end.
Right?
So you know the proof for all the
issues of the iman.
So when your iman is strong,
shaitan cannot play with you regarding
the,
he cannot reach your or access your heart
through the shawarma because
you have the.
And I always I mentioned this many, many
times in my talks,
the story of.
Is a man came from Egypt to Medina
during the reign of and
he started talking to the Sahaba
saying, you see,
I'm not saying here this,
and now they're saying this.
So there seems
there's a contradiction.
See?
So he thought that he could,
manage to confuse the Sahaba.
It was
full.
It was full.
Why?
Those Sahaba, they understand the Quran.
They witnessed the revelation.
When this eye came down,
It came in their mother tongue in their
mother tongue. They knew it.
They know it very well.
So
they ignored him. They only reported him to
say, no. I'm not. I said, okay.
When he is
there, tell me.
So they said, this is the guy. He
says, come. Come. What do you say? He
said this. I said, come. Hold him.
Hold him.
Remove his garment.
And Sid Narmat always used to have a
stick with him,
and he lashed him.
Till the narration says his back start to
bleed.
The skin
is bleeding.
So take him and treat him.
This is the first dose.
Bring him the second time when the wounds
are healed.
He did this three times,
said.
The 3rd time he said,
All these doubts
vanished,
so don't beat me.
Said, okay.
We'll find out.
I will not leave you in Medina. He
sent him to Iraq,
and he sent to the governor. Give me
send me a a monthly report
about him.
The reports are coming. He's okay. He's fine.
I said, no. I'm a passed away.
The started
in Iraq.
The people of
came to Sabir. Lead us Sabir now. You
are our leader.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
He remembered the whips of said, no, Omar.
Said,
the pious servant. He treated me well. I
will not follow you. Leave me.
So he failed
to confuse the Sahara because of the iman.
So when you have strong iman, yes,
But when the iman is weak, that's how
the shaytan
tried to access
our hearts either through
Superheart,
and you have
lack of knowledge. You don't so your email
is weak
or.
And that is, of course, if you follow
the Shahawad news,
he managed
week. This is clear to the question.
The same thing was prepared and etcetera.
Yes. Inshallah, Sheikh. Very grateful for all. Inshallah.
We'll take the next question.
I listened to a lesson that talked about
a hadith
of the minor signs of judgment.
The speaker mentioned that the hour
will be on Yom al Jumuah.
Is this authentic? And if so, why do
we have people
saying Jumuah Mubarak?
The hadith is authentic, yes, because Allah created
Adam on the day of Yom 'aha. Allah
repented and accepted,
Adam's repentance on Yom 'al Yom 'al Yom
'al Yom 'al Yom 'al Yom 'al Yom
'al Yom 'al Yom 'al Yom 'al Yom
'al Yom 'al Yom 'al Yom 'al Yom
'al Yom 'al Yom 'al,
birds,
they fear this day. They are afraid,
except,
except mankind and gin.
They are enjoying Friday, and they are happy.
They don't know that this could be the
day of the end.
And this now what is happening, people saying
and sending messages.
I don't
know. Why people? What is this?
What is the evidence for it?
Every Friday,
you will be asleep and you'll hear the
messages
one after the other.
Is this clear to you?
I mean, this is clear for everybody. The
next question, Sheikh.
Assalamu alaikum, Sheikh. What is the difference between
tafsir and tadabburul Quran?
Taddabbar means to reflect and ponder.
Taddabbar
means
you discover new meanings and the meanings.
Okay? The meanings of the of the ayat
was, of course, the
the will lead to the and but, of
course, by the
you need to have also the tools.
You can you cannot become a mufassira scholar
of
without
having the tools and the instruments,
which
is the knowing of Quran, knowing,
knowing the
the sciences of the language, all of these
things.
So it's a double, yes,
will
make you understand because you will be reflecting.
And the more and that's what we are
applied to make the number. I feel like
it's a for us and.
K? Why don't they ponder and reflect upon
the Quran? Or there are locks over their
hearts.
So when you are reading,
don't make your
concern
how to finish this page or,
this user.
Read slowly.
Understanding.
Allah is talking to you.
Yes. So he's talking to me.
What does Allah wants from me?
He's prohibiting me from haram, so I have
to stop.
He's telling me don't do this,
or he is giving me news
about the hereafter.
Glad Tidings.
So
make it like an interactive.
Make it you you interact with the Quran.
You interact with the Quran through the process.
Is this clear to the question?
Yes,
That is clear. Let me see if there's
any final questions before we,
wrap up and end today's
session.
That brings us, to the end of today's
session.
Just a message for all the brothers and
sisters here.
