How are you, sir?
We're ready when you are.
I'm ready.
Okay. Let us begin.
Brothers
and
sisters, and welcome to our weekly lesson
of virtues of Islam.
This is lesson number 11
with our Sheikh, Sheikh Salim Al Amri. I
will pass the mic on the screen to
the Sheikh, and the Sheikh can begin inshallah.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today
is
our weekly class,
Islam,
virtues of Islam.
In the last session,
we discussed together
the issue
of Al Amrbul Maroof Wan Nahyan Il Munkar.
This is one
of
main pillars in Islam,
the issue of
enjoining what is right
and
forbidding
what is wrong.
And this issue of
Amr ibn Maroof and Nahi Anil Munkar,
it is the duty of every Muslim,
Duty of
every Muslim.
As you know,
in the hadith known to many of you.
Whoever whoever
the prophet
say, man, woman,
young, old,
whoever sees Munka,
evil,
should change it with his hand
if he can.
If he cannot,
then to talk about it.
If he cannot, then to
hate it in his heart,
and that is the weakest degree of imam.
And to hate by the heart means to
refrain from doing such
shameful
deed.
Allah destroyed
nations before us
before because they shun
the practice of enjoining what is right and
forbidding
what is evil. So Allah destroyed them.
Here, there is a beautiful hadith
reported by Imam Ahmed in his,
and it is authentic
in which the prophet said,
Allah does not punish the individuals
for the sins of the community
until they see the evil
spreading among themselves
and while they have the power to stop
it
and do not do so.
Let us reflect on this
beautiful hadith.
As you know, obligations
are 2 types.
Individual obligations
and communal
obligations.
The individual
obligations that you are accountable are responsible
for your own deeds,
and you will be held accountable.
But, also, we have communal
obligations towards the community,
so we should not allow
anyone
to corrupt the community
and to spread
mischief.
So here, the prophet is saying Allah does
not
punish the
individuals
for the sins
of the community
because everyone
will be held accountable
for his own actions,
and especially
if these sins
are committed
in privacy
or privacy
secretly.
So we don't know about that. People, they
commit sins behind
doors.
But the problem when these things come out
and done in public
because then when they are in public committed
in publicly,
they will affect everyone.
And this is what's happening today.
There are things outside
affect everyone.
And you have no control.
Can't control it.
Immorality,
* everywhere.
Leave alone the the media.
So if the sins are committed behind us,
we don't know anything about these things. That's
it. This Allah knows.
But the problem when they come out,
k, they're not below the surface. They are
above the surface now.
Then
Allah's wrath
and anger will fall upon everyone
and affect everyone.
Because
the good people are supposed to stop the
evildoers,
supposed to stop them.
Because in Islam,
you mind my business, I mind yours as
well
when it comes to
the issues of
evil, good, and evil.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he swore by
time.
He said man, all humanity, all mankind
are in great loss
except
those who believed.
Those who believe
and do righteous deeds.
Enough? No.
What will happen?
So they advise each other. They remind each
other. So there is mutual
action going on.
You advise me, I advise you. Remind me,
I remind you.
Otherwise,
we'll be doomed.
Doomed.
Man indeed is in great loss.
That's why the Sahaba
of
whenever they meet,
before
they depart and leaving each other, they would
read Surat Al Asr
to remind each other.
So here the prophet is saying Allah does
not punish the individuals
for the sins
of the community
until
this they see
the evil spreading
among themselves.
Now they see it. It's public.
It's not behind doors anywhere anymore.
No.
You can see it everywhere.
Then
here,
we will be held accountable.
Until they see the evil,
the munkar,
the spreading
among themselves. You see it?
You see it is affecting your family,
affecting everyone,
and you keep quiet
and you keep quiet.
K?
Until they see the evil spreading among themselves.
And why do they have the power to
stop it?
They have the ability to stop it
and do not do so.
You can
at home.
You are responsible.
This is your small dominion, your small kingdom,
the family.
You are accountable.
So why
do you bring
the
devices
and the gadgets and the
iPass for every child and
Wi Fi everywhere.
Every child behind his door is going through
and browsing and seeing all this
dirty stuff.
You are the head of the family.
You are accountable.
You are accountable.
Allow a question.
Every one of you
is a shepherd,
caretaker,
and everyone will be
questioned about his flock,
about his subjects,
the husband and the wife, the mother and
the father.
This is your home.
You can do something. You can change.
You can stop the evil.
Yeah. Outside, you have no you have no
control.
You can't change things,
but
within your home, within your house,
you can.
So no excuse.
So if I reform my family and my
home and you you reform yours, the community
will be formed.
But if
you allow the evil to spread
within your family
and you keep quiet
and you know
what your children are doing.
And some Muslim families,
they sit together
and they watch
things that
displease Allah
things that
ruin
one's character,
kills their majesty and
family. They are sitting together, and they are
watching.
So here, we have
to wake up
because Allah will hold each one of us
accountable.
Your family
and
yourselves.
A fire,
It's fuel.
Men are rocks,
and there are stern
angels guarding it.
So, Shrin Ali, he said that you discipline
your family.
This is your responsibility
because Allah will hold you accountable,
and you will be questioned.
Did he
protect his subjects,
his flock, or lost it?
That's why
the parents
should help each other, the father and the
mother.
So when you start
your life, marital life,
you draw a plan and strategy,
how you are going to
think of your children.
So you need
because this is very important from the beginning.
A child is just like as they say,
like something very soft like the dough.
You can mold it, shave it the way
you like.
But if you leave it,
as one of the say, it is like
a plant.
If this little plant
grow
little bit crooked,
bent,
you can straighten it by putting
a rod
or a piece of wood and tie it
against this
piece of wood or rod,
and it will go up.
But if you leave
it until the trunk is like this,
then you cannot.
It's too late.
It's too late.
So this is the
understand and digest this
habit because it's very scary.
K?
Allah does not punish the individuals for the
sins of the community until
they see the evil spreading.
Today,
you know,
this wedding
is free mixing
and music,
and you go.
So you are committing a
sin. You're by participating.
You see the evil
spreading among themselves.
And see here, the prophet
say, among themselves because we are one family,
one family.
And why they have the power to stop
it
and do not do so?
So everyone will be held accountable
according to his own
the scheme of his own responsibility.
Another hadith
in which the.
Also, there is a hadith, but there is
a slight weakness
in it.
Okay. So
though the meaning
is
valid,
but you cannot attribute it and say the
prophet said that. So that's why the scholars,
they said, if you mention a weak weak
weak narration,
you have to mention that it is weak.
So in this week, narration, Hadid,
I think it is a timidity,
in one of the books of the sunan,
That Allah
sent
an angel
to destroy
village or town.
So the angel said to Allah, Azzawad,
because you see,
my dear brothers and sisters,
our homes in the here, our houses,
when they are viewed from above,
the houses that have
people
the inhabitants of that
dwelling
are pious,
paying,
making dua, reading Quran.
So this their
home appears like a beacon,
like a like a beam
of light.
So the angels, they see, oh,
these are houses of righteous
people.
So the angel
say, oh my lord.
In this town, there is this home of
so and so.
Then he was told
to begin with it, that home.
Destroy that home first.
Why?
Because he never
he never got angry
for my sake.
He never
enjoy
what is right and forbid what is wrong.
So the
it is the duty of everyone.
You don't say, okay.
I mind my own business. I don't interfere.
No.
It's not like that.
As you know, the prophet may give the
parable of the similitude,
that example
of a group of people in the authentic
are traveling by the sea,
and the ship has 2,
two levels,
the lower part and the upper part.
So they are cruising,
k,
or they are traveling by river.
So those in the lower part,
and when they want to fetch water, they
want water,
they have to go up
pass by the
second floor,
go up to the deck of the ship,
throw their buckets,
take the water, and come down.
So some of those who are in
the bottom, in the lower part,
said to each other they talk to each
other.
You know, when we go up and down,
we disturb those above us. How about if
we make a hole
here in this portion?
This is our part.
Then we don't need to go up and
disturb those above us.
So here, the prophet
said,
the meaning,
if they allow
then
to make that whole, the whole ship will
sink.
But if
they hold their hands and stop them,
they will be all
rescued and saved.
So the whole community is the ship now.
The society, that is our ship.
And we are now all on the board
of this ship.
So if we close our eyes
and allow everyone
to do whatever he wants,
then this ship will sink,
and all of us
will be drowned.
All of us
will be
lost.
All of us will be suffering
Because
in the hadith,
our mother, Aisha, has
said,
Is it possible
that will be ruined,
will be destroyed
while we have righteous
ones among us?
Said, yes.
It's a
when immorality,
corruption
increased.
Though you have pious among you,
righteous,
Allah destroys everyone,
including the righteous.
And the now
have this corruption
everywhere.
So Allah just Allah
may Allah save us,
but we are invoking
and making our lord
angry with us.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
let us really
take this issue
seriously.
In this hadith,
which is in Muswell,
the
mentioned
the right of a Muslim
over his brother.
And the sacredness
of his honor.
And Muslim
Muslim is a brother.
Another Muslim.
He doesn't let him down. He doesn't hand
him over
to his enemy, to
the the
the enemies of Islam.
He doesn't belittle him,
or
belittle him.
Look upon him.
So the Muslim
has rights.
Every Muslim has rights
upon
another Muslim.
So in this hadith
and
as you know, there are many, many hadith
about
the lives. For example,
you cannot
propose to a woman
when you know
your brother already proposed. You have to wait.
You cannot
buy a commodity
or buy gain for a commodity
when your brother is buy gaming.
You want this item, but your brother now
is he is in the process
of making the contract with the seller.
It says haram to step in and to
say, I'll give you more.
It's haram.
The najesh. This is called najesh.
You increase the price.
So Muslim has
every Muslim has right
upon his brother.
So in this hadith, the is saying, Muslim
insulting,
abusing
a
Muslim
is a sin,
a sign of wickedness,
evil,
and killing him is disbelief,
The owner of your brother is so sacred,
inviolable.
You have no right
to attack the owner of your brother
and to talk about
it. As a matter of fact,
you should defend your brother in his absence
rather than
eating his own flesh by committing surrendering and
backbite.
You should defend
him. Because if you defend your father in
his absence,
you get the agenda.
And the ban
you defend the owner of your brother. It's
or your sister, of course, when we are
talking
about
the Muslim, the Muslim man
is also
involved.
And this is throughout the book of Allah
and the sunnah.
Any
right for the man is the right for
the woman. No doubt at all.
No difference.
So Muslim, male and female.
Seeking knowledge is incumbent upon every Muslim, means
male and female.
The narration that says,
is a weak narration.
To hear,
Muslim
to accuse him brother, a Muslim,
insult him,
took evil about him.
It's a sin.
If
you
kill your brother,
Disbelief.
What type of is
this? What type of disbelief? Is this a
disbelief that takes a person out of a
slot?
Well,
as
you know, the
can
be
major,
minor,
or in the sense
of ungratefulness,
which is called as.
If a Muslim kills another Muslim
intentionally,
deliberately,
the punishment is known.
Capital punishment.
Unless the
the,
the family
of the
the one who was killed
decided to forgive
him or to accept
the ransom, the blood money.
Otherwise,
the retaliation
that this class needs to has to be
applied.
Because if you kill a Muslim,
as
Allah
say,
many things.
Well, because Muslim
with
Ahmed intentionally,
Allah's anger upon him,
and Allah's curse upon him,
and the severe punishment
awaits him.
A man came
to and
he said,
if someone
kills someone
intentionally,
is there a chance for him to repent
after that?
If not Abbas, he stood at the man,
looked at the man, then he said, no.
He'll be in Jahannan,
and no chance for him to repent.
The man left.
The students of Abnaba said, oh, our sheikh,
you have been teaching us
that there is
for the one who for the killer.
If one kills someone,
he can't repent.
He said, I know.
But I looked into the eyes of this
man,
and I felt that he has a plan.
He wants to kill someone,
so I blocked the way in front of
him.
So one of the students, he followed this
man, and he asked him, tell me the
truth.
Were you planning or intending because someone said
yes?
Didn't give me
hope or a chance.
And this
is very important
that the Mufti
should know
what will happen, the consequences of his fatwa.
The consequences of it.
So the belief of Al Nasun Nawal Gema
that a killer
will not become disbeliever or
in the sense that he is out of
Islam.
Unless and and 2, if
he believes,
this is the what the Uleman say,
call
If he believes
it is halal to kill a Muslim,
then, yes, he will be a kafir. No
doubt.
Because he believes now killing a Muslim is
halal.
But if he believes that killing a Muslim
is halal,
and nevertheless, after in spite of that, he
killed this Muslim.
He is a Muslim.
Yes. He will be killed, but then burial
watch will be given to him.
Will be performed for him.
He will be buried in the Muslim graveyard.
His wife will go through the waiting period.
His children will inherit him, etcetera.
K? So here and killing him is.
It can be major
if he believes that killing a Muslim is
halal
or a minor cover.
Because you see, on the day of resurrection,
my dear brothers and sisters, the first thing
Allah looks into
the rights
between the
the Ibad, between the mankind,
their rights,
the
blood
killing.
First thing Allah will address
on that day.
Regarding
his rights,
your obligation
towards him, the salah, he will look at.
So let us, my dear brothers and sisters,
give our brothers and sisters their right,
respect them,
and not to attack
them
or talk evil about them.
So
the backbiting, the slandering, and all these
should be stopped.
This is your brother
and your sister.
And
what meaning the Muslims are. Muslim
Muslim.
Muslim is a brother of another Muslim.
You don't wrong your brother.
You don't let down your brother. You don't
hand over your brother to the enemies,
and you defend your brother in his absence.
Because these are the rights of
every Muslim upon his brothers and sisters.
So abusing a Muslim,
and
the Muslim is not
the one who
had
bad mouth
using vulgar
language.
Talks foul.
This what the prophet
is teaching us.
Muslim
Muslim is not the one who insults
and swears.
That's not the character of the Muslim.
Not the character of the Muslim.
Or,
one who curses.
Now today's
the became
just
normal greeting among the Muslims.
When you meet someone and you miss them,
oh, where are you? Allah's curse on you.
And then you hug each other.
This is the greeting, and this is from
the signs of the hour.
The Islam.
People, they greet each other like that.
And you hear it every day.
The one who curses.
And women,
oh, they curse a lot,
and maybe she will curse her children.
That's why the prophet
as you know, in the hadith,
when he told the women on the day
of
of
Eve. Oh, women, give
even by giving part of your ornament
because I saw they are the majority
of the people in hellfire.
A woman stood up and said, why us?
You curse a lot,
and you are ungrateful.
Here. The here
in this hadith
is
You are ungrateful to your husband.
Ungrateful
to your husband. So women, they curse
And the
prophet
is
saying is one who is using dirty language,
vulgar,
unrefined,
impolite.
It's not the character of the Muslim.
That's not the character
of the Muslim.
See,
character of the Muslim.
This
is the character of the
Muslim. Whoever believes in Allah in the last
day
should say something good
something good.
Okay,
quiet. This is the character of the Muslim.
Before you open your mouth,
before you
act up
the words,
think about it.
Think about
it. Is it good? Is it fair? Say
it. Not be quiet.
Don't say.
Refrain,
control this town. This town, my dear brothers
and sisters,
needs to be controlled
to be controlled.
Because of this tongue,
many,
they will end up in the hellfire.
Sayidina Abu Bakr
he would hold his tongue,
and he would
say, you,
You are the one
that's going to ruin me.
The tongue.
The tongue.
Allah locked the tongue
behind 2 doors,
the jaws
2 jaws,
upper jaw and the lower jaw,
and 2 lips
to control it,
control this channel.
And then you
impart the lips, you open the jaws, you
open your mouth, and you talk.
Every day, my dear brothers and sisters,
all the limbs of the body,
they seek a large protection from the evil
of this tongue every day.
Every
day. The tongue.
That's why the prophet
said,
Whoever
the hadith is authentic
in
and
other books of the
Hebrew. Whoever protects what is between
the jaws,
that's the tongue.
Lay and what is between his thighs,
the private part.
I'm committing.
Is guaranteed for him or her.
Many of us, they protect the private part.
So but how about the town now? Freely.
Talking freely
and indulge in
sins, all types of sins.
Now the narration, the prophet said, mom, Samatha,
naja.
Samatha,
naja. He who keeps quiet
will be safe.
Will be safe.
The
when they talked
about the
ranks of the
servitude.
There are 25 ranks
we need to achieve.
25 levels
of
as explained by Imam Abu
said the
the ranks
of
servitude, 25 times.
How?
How did they arrive at this figure?
He said,
there are 5 senses,
and there are 5 rulings.
So
the 5 rulings in the Sharia are 5
only.
Farb and sunnah,
what is
obligatory
and what is recommended.
Far and sunnah,
haram for habitat and loafer.
Haram.
Disliked,
and
principle.
Mubah, lawful.
Haram.
So these are the 5 rulings in the
sharia.
So 5 rulings
multiplied by 5 senses,
the project
is 25.
So in other words, you apply all the
5 rulings
to each one of the 5 census.
So we take, for example,
another of the side.
So there is haramluk,
haramluk,
makruvluk,
fardluk,
sundaluk,
and halaluk or.
For the for the eye only. These are
the rulings related to the eye.
5. Haram look. To look at Haram and
something Haram.
Watching something Haram.
Watching movies.
K? It's halal. K?
So this
eye has to worship Allah.
So if you are looking at the Haram,
this eye is disobeying Allah
disobeying Allah
and committing Haram.
Looking at women.
K? You are looking at women.
Yeah. And Allah is saying,
lower your gaze, and you are not lowering
your gaze. So you're looking at them and
staring at them and
look into the eyes.
Instead of lowering your head, instead of
putting your head down.
And as you know, the biggest fitness for
men,
women.
So don't play with fire.
Don't play with fire.
One look from a woman
will destroy your imam.
You look at her. She smiles.
Finish.
Finish.
She shoots her cubit arrow into your heart,
and your head start to spin.
So when Allah says,
lower your gaze, it is for your own
benefit, both men and women.
And see
the link between the look and the perfect
part
because that look triggers the private part.
So there's haram look.
You don't look at haram. You don't look
at women.
The biggest witness that I fear
from the men of my ummah are women
women women.
You don't sit with a woman even if
you are teaching the Quran.
You don't sit with her.
Because the third person will be the shayvan,
the devil.
Any man.
Man.
Not male. Man.
Maybe you are a male, but you are
not a man. But if you are a
man uh-huh.
No.
Because some, they say,
ah, come on.
She's like my sister. Then you're not a
man.
You're not a man. Go go and check
yourself.
K?
You are sick. You need to be a
doctor to check you.
You are impotent.
You have this problem.
So the
prophet was saying the biggest fitna
for the men,
for of my are women.
Woman.
Because the Shivan
uses the woman
as a
the debate for the man because that is
the weakness for any man.
His weakness, women.
So you lower your gaze. You don't look
at the haram.
So the haram look.
Then
look
to look at something
which will cause you to feel sad.
You go and you start looking at the
showroom
and see all these cars,
the Ferrari and
Lamborghini
and all these other different types of Mercedes
and BMW,
and you cannot buy it.
So this type of look is
because it will make you feel unhappy.
K?
Then you have
front look.
K?
To look at the book of Allah.
To look at your
wife
to be when you propose,
you go and have a look and see
her.
But the prophet
he told,
go
and have a look.
But the, they have problems with their eyes.
Go and look.
And this is the right
for the husband to be, to see his
wife,
to see her
in the presence of the.
And they they can sit and talk and
etcetera
without
without without privacy or privacy.
K?
Then you have
or
recommended,
and that is to look
and ponder
upon Allah's creation.
Allah's creation.
So this is recommended
to ponder upon the creation of Allah, to
look at the stars, to look at the
galaxies,
to look at the birds, to look at
the
different types of flowers and different types of,
trees.
And you say,
you glorify Allah
So this type of look
is recommended.
They commend it.
And then
the 5th part,
that was the scholars
post. Because the.
Permissible.
What's the definition of the?
The lawful, the permissible.
Permissible. What is it?
Haram,
something. If you commit, you will be
punished.
Makru,
something.
If you do it, you'll not be punished.
But if you leave it, you will be
rewarded.
Some something, if you do it,
you will be
rewarded.
If you leave it, you'll be punished.
Mandu,
sunnah,
something if you do it, you will be
rewarded,
and if you leave it, you'll not be
punished.
The muba,
the halal,
the permissible,
it is 5050.
You will neither be be punished
nor
rewarded.
For example,
to take your dinner.
It is.
Will I be rewarded by for taking my
dinner? No.
Will I be punished for not taking it?
No.
It's up to me.
So this is the definition of the.
The
sometimes
you will when by doing it, the you
will be rewarded
if there is intention
behind doing that permissible
action.
Okay. Sleeping with your own partner
Is Mubah.
Hello.
Will you be rewarded?
You will be rewarded
if there is near
that
you sleep with your partner
to satisfy your
desire
and her desire
so that you will not commit harm.
So then you will be rewarded.
You will be rewarded. That's why
when you fulfill your biological
needs, remember this, keep this in mind.
And that's why you say the dua and
ask Allah
to save you and your progeny from the
shaypa.
The same thing,
eating.
It's.
Will I be rewarded for eating? No.
But if there is niyah, I eat,
and my near
is to gain a chance
to worship Allah.
Then because of this near,
I'll be rewarded.
I sleep
aloud, permissible.
Will be I reward will I be rewarded?
No.
But if I have
when I go to bed that I sleep
to get rest, to worship Allah. Yes. While
you are asleep, the malaika are writing for
you.
So that's the definition of the.
Now
if we apply
the 5 rulings
to the tongue
tongue,
Haram talk, we know.
The zikr, the prophet
saying
talk,
speech.
Is
there
5050?
I can't talk.
I can't speak,
and I will not be held
accountable.
I will not be
punished,
though I'm speaking.
Here, the ulama
different.
You see?
When it's come to the tongue, it seems
there's nothing more by for it.
Because whatever you say,
it is either for you or against you,
For
you
or against you.
Whatever you say,
the angels, 2 angels.
What light has an act? What light say
you act?
So whatever comes out, it will be either
good or bad.
So nothing
That's why the prophet
said
Should either say something good
or keep quiet.
Because the moment you open your mouth,
it is written down.
The angels are waiting.
The angels are
waiting.
When he was
sick,
He was mourning
mourning.
Because of the
pain.
So they told him,
says one of the that the angel, the
Malik
writes even
this morning and groaning,
he writes it.
So iman Ahmed
kept quiet after that.
May Allah
save us
from the evil of our tongues,
And may Allah give us the ability to
control this organ
and save us from its evil.
May
Allah save us
from indulging
into
any
haram,
any speech that displeases
Allah.
May Allah
overlook our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
May Allah
keep us to remain
steadfast
on this beautiful day
till we meet him.
And he's pleased with all of us,
May Allah guide
our
and may Allah unite our hearts in
And may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters, immensely
for your patience,
attendance.
May Allah
elevate your status.
Brothers and sisters, we will now begin the
question and answers time.
Kindly send in your questions and answers if
you have not done so already, and you
may ask the questions verbally.
Just simply raise hand, and we will take
them verbally.
Okay. So we have received some questions already.
We'll begin with those.
The first question we have here,
is it the first ten verses or the
last ten verses of Surat Kahf
that if you read every night, you will
be protected from the Dajjal?
Both.
Okay. There's a continuation
of the question?
The next question is, sir Pratje.
Okay. Both. There are 2 narrations. Either the
first
or the last
Next question.
The next question. The that a person is
supposed to make before *, is the man
supposed to say it or the woman, or
do they both say it? What if they
forget?
If they forget, they should say it later.
I say no. I'm not used to do.
And,
it is this is there written on a
sticker. You can put it at the head
the board of the bed
in front of you in front of you
so you'll remember it.
Inshallah. Next.
The next question.
And, of course, both of them say it's
it's better.
It's better. Though the Hadith says
addressing the man,
but this doesn't stop the woman from saying
the also.
And, this just now,
reminded me about the
Abu
Talha and. They had a child and who
was sick,
and,
Abu Talha
went to the masjid.
And after the came with some of the
to
see the child,
so he asked his wife because in his
absence,
the child died.
So he asked her, how is the child?
She said, it's very, very this is the
quietest moment
he has. He's in the quietest moment.
Cannot be quieter than this.
So they thought that the child goes asleep,
so the rest of the left.
And she
brought the dinner for her husband.
After he had his dinner,
she got up, prepared herself,
came to him.
He slept with her.
Then she told him,
oh,
my dear husband,
what do you think if our neighbors,
we borrowed from them
vessel
or container
or a yachtsen, a plate or a dish,
and then they asked for their yachtsen?
Said, of course, we have to give it
to man.
He said the one who gave up the
child took it.
Allah who gave us this child,
he took it.
So
he said, why didn't you tell me?
Why did you wait
till I had my dinner
and
then I slept with you. Why didn't you
tell me?
He kept quiet.
See, the imam of the Muslime,
she slept with her husband when her child
is dead.
In the morning,
he
informed the.
The whole story. So the prophet,
he he told them told him, you slept
with each other? He said, yes.
So he prayed for them
and asked
Allah to bless them.
So
al Musulais conceived from that very night.
Allah took one child and give them another
child
another child.
So they're saying that dua is very important,
my dear brothers and sisters,
because Allah
will save this child from the shaitan
from the shaitan.
The mother
of Mary,
wife of Imran,
she prayed and asked Allah to protect
what is in her womb, and that happened
to be
Maria and
the children and the progeny of that child,
and that was Isa alaihi salaam.
So Allah protected Mary from the shaitan
and Isa Alaihi Salam from the shaitan.
The
prophet said, every child when it comes out
from his mother's womb,
the shaitan
puts his finger
in the belly button of the child, and
the child cries,
except a.
He couldn't do anything. He couldn't hit him.
So the dua is very important with the
above us consistence.
Next question, please.
The next question, Sheikh. On each day, we
visit each other in a mixed gathering.
I do not visit anyone, but they come
to my parents' house.
My parents' house is really small, so everyone,
the men and women, are together in the
living room.
We are not close with these people. Should
we tell them
not to come over?
I know that they will get mad and
they will slander us.
How should we address this problem?
We do not want to see in, and
we do not want these people to come
over. What should we do?
This is
an issue needs to be addressed,
I mean,
collectively
as a community.
K?
And the Masjid can play role here.
The imams, they can play role here to
educate people
and to tell them,
okay. We can meet, and we can congratulate
each other
when we when we visit each other. But
let us do it in the right way
that
men and women are separate.
We don't sit together
when we are not. We don't sit and
mix together.
So
men,
they are together, and they feel free, and
they have their own
privacy and women also
so that everyone will enjoy
and will be happy.
But to sit together, looking at each other,
So let us apply
this. So I eat, for example, men,
they can visit each other during the morning,
for example.
The women, they visit each other in the
evening
after.
And they enjoy their eat, and they sit
together, and everything is fine.
We need to
avoid doing things that will
displease Allah
because this free mixing and intermingling
is not permissible in Islam at all.
At the time of the,
though the
would pray in the masjid,
he made a special door for them. A
special door was made for the women to
enter through it. So men, Sahabiya,
they don't enter through the same
entrance.
There's a special door for them,
and they are at the back of the
mosque.
They're far from the men.
And he said,
The best roles of men, the first roles.
The bad roles
or most evil roles,
the last roles.
The best roles of the women are the
ones
behind them, far away from the men.
The last roles.
The worst worst roles of women,
the first roles
because they are closer to the men.
So in other words, the prophet is saying
to the women,
the farther
and the further
you are away from the men that is
the best for you.
And this is in the Masjid.
So it's one door,
stretch it for them.
Second thing, precaution,
they are at the back.
3rd precaution,
he would tell the women
for the Sahaba, they had short garments,
That women should not raise from the before
the men.
So in order that they will not see
the aura
of the men in front of them.
Then
when
the
Salah
finished, he would tell the Sahaba,
remain seated.
Don't leave.
Don't leave.
So if the Sahabi will remain seated,
and the Sahabi, yeah, the woman will leave
So there was no free mixing or free
mingling.
That's why even during the Eid,
women, they were
away.
That's why he went to to them and
gave them,
So what is this free mingling and free
mixing? Where is it?
Today,
go to the Masjid and see
as they are in the university or in
the campus.
Men, women, they are sitting, talking, chatting.
We are in a mess.
So
the
when it comes to the aid,
no
free mixing.
No free mixing.
And this what we need
to have practical solution
so that we'll make 2 shifts.
The men, first, they visit each other, then
the women come and visit each other.
Especially if I know the house of this
brother is small, so it will not accommodate
all of us.
Okay.
I will visit you, then the family, they
will come and visit later.
So no free mixing. And this is good
for the women. They feel free.
They feel free, and they can
talk and laugh and
enjoy the day.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Hopefully, it is clear. If not, they can
respond back. So we go to the next
question.
The next question.
Assalamu alaikum, Sheikh.
For the Dars, a person asked,
a student loan
is haram and a form of river.
But what about a student
who wants to do medicine, for example?
For this field, they have to go university,
and they have tried
every alternative such as a loan from family
and friends and banks, Islamic banks.
If these alternatives are not available in this
case, would it be permissible for this individual
to get the student loan due to necessity?
What does Allah say,
and what
did he promise?
Did it Allah say
Why
we doubt this promise? Why we doubt it?
Practically, we doubt it.
So you'll hear Muslim, I tried my best.
So in other words, you are saying Allah
is pushing me for the river.
Allah
Whoever fears Allah,
Allah creates for him.
Allah makes for him an exit, an outlet,
provides for him a solution.
We have
and he provides for him
from sources he cannot expect.
But the problem with us,
we don't want to leave the Haram.
For example,
a man is working in a bank,
And he knows it is haram, and he
feeds his family haram.
And he tells you,
if I find a job, I will leave.
Do you know the meaning of this?
If I find
a job,
I will leave.
So he's saying, in other words, oh, Allah,
I will not quit the Haram
unless and until
you provide for me another job,
then I will leave the Haram. But now
I will not leave it. So what is
the taqwa?
Where's the taqwa? Where is the fear of
Allah? Where is
the taqwa in Allah? Where is putting your
trust in Allah?
Is it?
So if we are really
sincere, Allah promised Allah will never break his
promise.
Allah will never.
That's number 1. Number 2,
we need to
inform in the community.
K?
Like, fund
for the fund
for the students who wants to pursue their
education.
So we raise money
and allocate
it for the students scholarship,
either free
or.
Long.
Every community should do that.
Organization
should do that.
Either it is.
When you graduate
and then
you work, you start
settling and paying this in advance.
Businessmen,
they have to contribute
to help the community
so that we save our children
from falling into river,
from in the beginning of their life.
Now does it fall at a necessity?
I personally believe not.
It's not an issue of
life and death.
Because
the necessity
which the earlier man mentioned,
okay,
is when someone's life at stake
at stake.
For example,
you are sick,
okay, and
no one is wants to help you.
So here, they said, it is necessity
and falls under the rule, the
the rule that says, Abdul Uwah to be.
Necessities, k,
dictate exceptions.
But it's not a necessity to have your
own house
through the mortgage because you can live
by through the
lease
by leasing and renting.
That's enough.
It's not a necessity
to have your own house
and through the haram, through riba.
So my advice for the brother is to
really
put your trust in Allah and Allah promise,
and Allah will never break his promise.
Is this clear to the question?
Otherwise, they can respond back.
The next message.
Let us take Ambrin
Niazi who's been waiting to ask a verbal
question. Go ahead, sister Ambrin.
Sheikh, recently,
I have started to lead a halaqa in
my neighborhood for sisters,
and we are
studying the explanation of, Riyadu Salihin
by, Sheikh Al Uthaimin.
May Allah have mercy upon them both. I
mean,
yet
a few days ago,
a new sister joined us.
So and, when I asked her about her
family,
she told me that her daughter is studying
law over here in the United Kingdom
and that she plans to be a judge
over here.
I didn't say anything to her at that
point,
and I decided that I would go back.
I will think about and ask,
you know, advice
on how I should deal with the situation.
So, Sheikh, please advise me.
Okay.
So if he becomes,
is he going to judge and rule by
the book of Allah
or
by the
the and
the and system?
Is he going to
be working
among women
or men?
See, my dear brothers and sisters,
this is our problem.
And the sisters in particular.
They don't think
about the nature
of the
speciality
which they take in the university.
They don't choose something that will suit our
nature.
If this is in a Muslim country and
she is
going to rule with the Sharia
and,
okay,
within the same *, that's permissible.
What's not permissible for a woman is the
head of the state.
She's not allowed to have that position.
But now she's a non Muslim country,
and she's studying law.
And this is she's not going to
to to work.
K? So she just wants to
learn this,
pick up the knowledge,
okay,
or make then she will have her
own
office
working as
for consultancy and things like that for the
census, which is not the case,
to be honest.
So my advice for this sister,
the mother, and the her daughter
is to change the specialty,
to study something else,
and especially if she hasn't started. Even if
she started, she can't change and study something
which is beneficial
for her and for the community
and which will,
not
put her in
situation where she will be
mixing with the opposite * and,
which will affect her iman, and maybe she
will lose her or
weaken her iman.
The list can be said. Is this clear?
Yes.
Okay. Let us go to the next question,
Sheikh.
If a Muslim wants to start a halal
business, and they make,
their near to Allah
to do good with money that might earn
from this,
then is it permissible for the company name
to be in French?
Would it be as imitating the Kufar? Because
some companies in non Muslim places do this.
What do you mean in French?
I think,
they're saying, can they use the French language
to, make their company name?
It's okay. No problem.
There's no harm.
There's no harm.
Because
let's say he this brother is French.
So that is his mother tongue. His English,
that is his mother tongue. There's no problem
with that.
Is this clear?
Yes.
Okay. Next question. I'm asking about.
Are there any permissible things we do that
are neither rewarded with goodness nor punishable, yet
we know that we have 2 angels that
record everything?
The the Mubah by definition
the Mubah by definition,
that you will not be punished either rewarded
or punished. I mentioned sleeping, eating,
okay, drinking. This is Mubah.
You're not you will neither be punished nor
you will be rewarded.
But
how I will change it and make it
rewardable,
okay, by the nia. So
I drink
with
the nia to quench my thirst.
That's
why
actions
will
be judged according to one's intention. I eat
with to gain strength.
I sleep with to gain,
rest so that I will get up and
pray and
worship
Allah. You
fulfill your biological
needs
so that you will not look to the
halal
and to
satisfy your partner so you will not look
for halal.
So but the now
is making this
recommended and rewardable.
But without
the, you just had your dinner.
No for you.
It's,
Is this clear to the question?
Next question.
Her sister asked,
she got a good proposal and she wants
to know, should her family make it clear
to them that she will observe
her hijab in front of her brother in
laws,
Or should she tell her potential spouse directly
in interview or her Mahram
should tell him before fixing marriage contract?
First of all, I want my our sisters
to be practical
and not idealistic.
So if this if the brother,
okay, has deen and he practices his Islam
and has good manners, good,
this is
sufficient.
So when he comes, that's why we give
them chance. They sit together.
They look at each other,
and they talk.
And she can mention
that I will be always wearing my hijab.
And then
if he said there's no issue with that,
then it has to be because sometimes,
yes, the husband has no issue, but the
problem is the
father-in-law and mother-in-law
because we are
following the customs,
the traditions.
K?
Tradition became a deen.
Deen. Deen.
Oh, we cannot change.
It is haram. We're not just haram, but
we cannot.
Right? So the the customs, the traditions,
treated more sacred
than the deen itself.
So that's why
things should be spelled out clearly from the
beginning rather than having problems later on.
He can tell him, and
the
LOs can be informed. This this what is
going to happen.
Is this clear to the question?
It is your
right.
Yes, Sheikh. It is clear. Otherwise, they cannot
ask again, of course.
Okay. Next question, Sheikh.
Do we have to pay zakat for the
amount invested in a business?
K. The zakat will be on the
the
if you have liquidity,
cash, yes.
If it is real estate,
the income.
If it is state items, you
you are selling, for example,
goods,
commodities,
cars,
any other items,
at the end of the year,
you count and see
these
commodities and take items you have in place,
and you
evaluate them according to the price of the
market
because that is money,
but in the form of trade items, and
you have to give the zakar.
But for example, if it is just a
building and this building is rented,
So the will be in
on the income
on the income.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes, Sheikh. It is clear. Let us go
to the next question.
May Allah reward you for sharing beneficial knowledge.
I would like to know if it is
the sunnah to give Adan in the newborn
child's ear.
Well, it is, the narration is weak.
The narration about that is weak,
But the practice of the Muslim throughout generations,
k,
that when the child is born, people, they
make a, and this practice is
conveyed from one generation to another. It shows
that there is a hassle
for this, and Allah knows best.
This is regarding
the. No. They're.
So if someone makes the,
and Allah knows best. Next.
The next question, Sheikh.
What is the best for our children?
You pray and ask Allah
to give them hidayah,
okay,
to bring them up.
Okay?
Good upbringing.
You ask Allah to
help you
to
bring them up Islamically
to give you this strength.
So this is the most important thing one
can do for his children
is the Hidayah,
asking Allah
to guide them and to protect them.
And
we need to
take care of them when they're still young.
We instill
in their hearts
the love of Allah
that Allah
sees you wherever you are. Allah hears you,
whatever you say.
So a child grows up with that belief.
Will have this
feeling inside,
this constant reminder.
Allah sees me. Allah hears me.
That's how he was brought up.
You we need to have this
atmosphere, make the atmosphere Islamic at all.
Not he grows up or she grows up
listening to music, watching
movies, and
we are the ones who
kill
the children,
ruin them,
destroy them,
and then we later on regret.
We are responsible.
You see the prophet,
Al Hasan or Al Hussein,
Very small.
He picked 1 of them, picked
piece date one date
and start chewing it.
The prophet
puts his finger, put it out, and told
the
child,
leave it.
Don't you know that we don't eat sadaqah?
Don't eat sadaqah?
So we
take care of the children,
feed them halal,
because we are responsible.
As in the hadith, any flesh that grows
from the halal
is destined for *.
So
fathers
should fear Allah
and make sure that you feed your children.
May Allah
protect our children, and may Allah
give all parents the
and the success and the help and the
systems
to bring up their children Islamically.
Next question, please.
Next question.
Is there any dua to be recited before
moving to a new home?
No. As far as I know, I haven't
come across a dua
or recall a dua right now apart
from reading.
When you
read,
you
chase away the
from your home.
So if you read, shayateen will run away,
As
mentioned in the hadith
of the prophet,
and I think I mentioned this story that
one brother mentioned that
in in, or none on, I think.
It's
there on the, on the net, on the
YouTube.
There was a villa, belongs to Sheikh Nhat,
I mean.
And
a group of the students came, so they
put them in that villa.
And it is in a remote area.
The student could not sleep because the gin
started running all over the place
and throwing fire.
So the they called
the students of Sheikh Al Azimina, and they
came to them, and they started reading.
They told the sheikh this what is happening.
He said, go
and read Surat Al Baqarah.
And he said, when we started reading Surat
Al Baqarah,
but complete
they could finish it. Complete the Surat Al
Baqarah. The Shia didn't run away. Run
away.
Next question, please.
The next question, Sheikh.
My father does not instruct us to pray
or do hijab. My mother died years ago.
I'm eldest of 3 sisters.
I tried to instruct my younger sisters to
pray and do hijab, but one of them
don't pray or do hijab even though she
doesn't deny these as obligatory.
Sometimes I get tired and stop advising for
some time, and again start after some time.
Will I be held accountable for my sister's
activities?
In case I stop advising for some time,
will I be sinful?
Don't stop.
Keep reminding.
And if you are doing your best
and you advise them,
then they will be accountable for their own
actions
because you advise them, you talk to them.
But don't quit.
Don't give up. Don't lose hope. This what
I'm saying. Don't lose hope. You never know
when Allah
will open her heart,
and she will listen.
So just keep reminding her with love, with
affection,
and try to,
get close to her, give her gift, something
like that.
May Allah guide all your family, including your
father, Ami.
And may Allah has mercy in your mother,
Ame.
Next.
Ameen, next question, Sheikh.
May Allah
increase your face, the Nur of Allah.
It's, it's
it's permissible
to cheat if someone fear that someone else
wants to take his right of business or
go behind and this person already did a
wrong
trail action.
Okay. I think it's, the question is,
is it permissible
to cheat if someone
fears that someone else wants to take his
rights
of his business
and then go behind, and this person already
did a wrong
I'm not understanding this one, Sheikh.
The question is not clear.
Okay.
Brother, if you'd like to
ask it verbally, it will be best,
just raise your hands. We'll take your question.
Next.
Next question.
Would it be safe to tell a few
family members about product ideas and if the
person sold anything?
Would you mind repeating?
Would it be to tell a few family
members about
product ideas and if the person
sold anything?
Product idea?
Yeah. Product ideas.
Not it has nothing to do with.
Yeah. I don't know. Okay.
One minute. One minute. It's just not okay.
I have project idea. We are sitting as
a family sharing this idea.
Okay. It is brilliant,
idea.
This product will generate profit. So what is
the shift
if I got that question correct?
It has nothing to do with to
consult and exchange views and,
brainstorming.
Okay?
There's nothing wrong with that.
Next, please.
We have misunderstood the question. Please rewrite your
question clearly and in detail,
then we will understand.
Next question.
Would it be Sheikh not to first sell
a particular
product,
but later on then sell it?
Because customers might not buy it due to
simplicity of ingredients.
Would it be Sheikh not to?
This has nothing to do with my dear
brothers and sisters.
Why are you using this word?
Maybe you don't understand the meaning of shit.
Shit means
you
put partner with Allah.
You associate partner with Allah
That is the meaning of shirk.
That's the meaning of shirk,
But this has nothing to do with Sheikh.
So what the question actually is,
saying?
Sheikh,
like you said, it doesn't have anything to
do with Sheikh. It's saying, would it be
Sheikh not to first
sell a particular
product,
but later on sell it because customers might
not buy it due to simplicity of ingredients?
No. It has nothing to do with Sheikh.
Yeah.
Sheikh, can I rephrase the question for them?
Yeah.
So is it permitted
permissible and allowed to sell an item which
you do not have in your hands?
The
prophet said, do not sell something you do
not possess.
So something you don't own it, you don't
sell it.
And what many people do
that
you ask him you come to him and
say, I want this product. He said,
okay. Come tomorrow
and pay now down
payment,
and you can collect it tomorrow.
And he doesn't have it in stock.
So he actually sold something he didn't have.
So he's going to buy it,
and then he will going to give it
to you.
That's not permissible.
Or some
between double quotes,
Islamic banks, they do the same thing.
You say, you want a car?
Okay.
We will buy it for you.
But first,
sign this
commitment and these forms.
So you sign the contract.
So they send something
they didn't have.
That's not permissible.
But if they have the car,
they own it. They have their own showroom.
That's different.
But to to sell something
we don't have,
that's not permissible. Next.
Is this clear?
Yes, sir. Very clear.
And that was our final question for tonight.
If you'd like to conclude.
May Allah
bless you. Bless your family. Protect you. Protect
your family.
May Allah elevate your status in this world
and in the next.
May Allah
accept our deeds and your deeds. May Allah
keep us remain steadfast on this beautiful till
we meet him, and he's pleased with all
of us. Amin.
May Allah unite our own and unite our
hearts on the Amin.
Until we meet
in our coming session,
I leave you in a large
protection
and company.
