AI: Summary ©
AI: Transcript ©
Hello,
I'm ready when you are on.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
today is
our weekly class,
virtues of Islam.
Among the virtues
of this beautiful deen,
al Islam,
which is
the divine guidance
from our creator who created
us and who knows
what is good for us and what is
not,
what will benefit us, and what will harm
us.
So in Islam,
among the teachings
of this beautiful deen,
it
blocks
and closes
all avenues
that lead
to immorality.
So it blocks the ways that will lead
to
indecency,
immorality,
moral decay.
So whatever way
might lead,
it closes it. It blocks it.
And this shows the beauty
of this deal.
There are precautionary
measures already put in place
as safeguards
against falling into the Haram.
Because the one
who sent
down
this code,
this law
is the creator
who knows
our deficiencies,
who knows our drawbacks,
and points of weakness.
So that's why
the laws of the Sharia
are the solution
for all our partners
simply because they are divine,
came from the one who knows everything,
and nothing is hidden from him.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
So my dear brothers and sisters, let us
abide
by this by the instructions
and the teachings of Al Islam
and commit ourselves
and be serious.
Allah
tells us, Surat Al Aarraf,
aya 33.
Say,
my lord
has only forbidden
open and secret
indecencies.
Shameful deeds,
sinfulness,
unjust aggression,
associating
others with the lion worship,
a practice he has never authorized,
and attributing to Allah what you do not
know.
Let us reflect.
Remember?
What do we call it?
And.
By itself
is a letter
a letter of assurance,
which means certainly,
verily, by itself.
If it is followed with,
it becomes.
Then what does this
do
to?
It cancels the function of
because
will
make the
the subject,
the
will have feta on it,
and the predicate
will be will have.
See what happened to
the subject
What happened to the predicate,
which tells you the habab, which informs you
about the subject,
marfur,
as the dama,
in nahwajula
karimun.
Imagine now we add to.
It becomes.
No function. It didn't it didn't function here.
Not cancel the function of.
Always keep this in mind. When you see,
and
that
means
stopped the function of.
Became limited
and functional.
And
keep this in mind.
So what does this mean?
When it comes, it denotes
it's this is a device of rhetoric.
It denotes and shows
that whatever is going to be mentioned,
the ruling is only confined. It confines and
limits the ruling to what is going to
be mentioned after that.
Like in the Hadith, in.
So verily, all the deeds are judged by
intention.
So now let us see here.
So
say, my lord has only see, only when
they they they get this only in the
translation
because of the meaning of
which means its limits.
Say most certainly,
my lord has forbidden only.
Shameful deeds.
Anything shameful is called.
Anything,
any deed which will make you feel shy
of doing it
or people do know about it, it's called.
So all these shameful deeds are law prohibited
in decency.
What is open of these shameful deeds and
what is secret?
So open and secret shameful deeds.
Whether if this shameful
deed and indecency
is done
in public or in secrecy,
privacy.
Our prohibited that.
So any careful deed,
whether it is committed publicly,
openly, or secretly, it is halal.
And here, Allah said, al for wari. Oh,
shameful deeds
because this
is what we call
which means
totality.
So all shameful deeds
entirely,
and their entirety
are
prohibited.
All shameful deeds. No exception
of any shameful deed.
Whether this deed is manifest, it's open, it's
shown,
done openly
or secretly.
What is open and what is secret.
So Allah prohibited that.
So
here, we have
category.
Anything
shameful
is haram,
Finish.
Anything shameful is haram.
Any fahisha,
any sin
is.
You
find that the scholars,
they give examples.
The is.
But it's not only the Zina, the Farhika.
All the sins
that
make you feel
ashamed of,
and you don't want the people to know
about them,
and you try to do them
far away from
being
seen.
It's
a.
K? Whether it is or drinking alcohol or
whatever.
What is open and what is secret.
So this is prohibited.
Well,
Islam. Okay?
So
can be also major sense.
K?
And
and this is Allah mentioned
the
specific,
then he mentioned the general.
Well,
sinfulness in general.
This is also any sense.
Well, sinfulness.
So now our
is giving us details
of what is prohibited.
So shameful deeds,
such as,
murder,
sinfulness
in general,
the transgression
to wrong someone
unfairly
and justly,
this is called.
Well, but they don't help.
They don't
happen because you have no
legal justification
for that.
So that case,
it is prohibited
to wrong someone
when there is no valid reason for doing
that.
So this
is and just aggression.
But if there is justification,
someone wronged you, someone
took your property,
and you took it back,
that's not
worry
because it is legal.
Someone took your property, so you are
recapturing it
and retaking it.
After he mentioned all these
types of sins,
they said,
This is very important, my dear brothers and
sisters.
Associating
others with Allah and worship.
A practice seed has never authorized.
Of course,
Allah will not
give us the authority
to
commit,
But this is the pattern of speech. This
how
the the nature of the language.
It is impossible
that Allah will send down to us and
give us green
light to commit shift.
But here, it is Allah rebukes those
who
commit shift
when
all proofs, all
types of evidence
invite them not to do that.
So Allah is saying, did I am for
tell you to do this? Did Allah did
I send you
a green gave you a green light to
come
a practice he has never authorized.
And attributing to Allah what you do not
know.
This is very important
to say about Allah something you don't know.
To say this is haram. This is halal
with
no knowledge, with no. This
is
prohibited. This is haram.
Allah mentioned it immediately after the.
You
attribute to Allah
something you don't know.
You said this is halal
when you don't know.
This is haram when you don't know.
And today, we see.
Everyone is a Mufti.
Everyone is a Mufti.
K?
He has his own channel,
podcast.
People calling him, and he is the Mufti.
Mufti.
He didn't study.
He's not qualified.
But
Sheikh.
And attributing to Allah
what you do not know.
To say something,
haram,
When it is
not, make your sin.
Make your sin.
Make your sin. May Allah show his mercy
upon his soul. He said
in his beautiful he made
he wrote many volumes.
If we read it
as means informing
those who sign on Allah's behalf,
the scholars.
When you issue a verdict,
when you get fatwa,
you sign on Allah's behalf.
Keep that in mind.
Or, the
prominent
figures and towering figures of the Muslim scholars,
the. So my dear brothers and sisters,
if you are not qualified,
learn your deed,
and don't talk about the deed without in
without knowledge.
I mentioned this many times.
What you see
in the media.
Right?
Most of them are.
And when they answer the questions,
actually, they are just conveying and reporting
and transmitting
what the said.
So don't think he is Adam
or he is a scholar.
This is the reality,
and we have to keep this in mind.
So to talk about
Allah
without
is a major
sin. So
this beautiful sharia
made
many of precautionary measures
of preventing falling into
the Maya
of
into
adultery,
fornication.
This is the beauty of
al Islam.
Because
what destroys
communities
and civilizations
and make civilizations
to crumble and collapse
is immorality.
Read history.
Read the history.
From a moral,
no ethical values,
moral decay.
That is the
decline
of the
civilization.
And this is
a rule throughout.
And the result
is inevitable.
The decline will be there. The moment a
nation become immortal, that is their end
their end.
Whether
they are Muslims or non Muslims,
the same.
When the Muslims in Spain
started
drinking
and spending
and having lavish lives
and became extravagant,
wasting resources.
They were driven away
out of Spain.
When they were pious Anglicos,
Spain was a beacon of guidance
for
all. But when they started
drinking alcohol,
womanizing,
just interested in the fighting
each other,
they were
driven out of Spain.
They said
the 2
the king
of
Spain, Ferdinand, and his queen, his wife,
Isabella.
They used to send their spies
to bring the news about what's the situation,
how
strong are the Muslims.
The reporters would come and the spies would
come back
and say,
it's not the right time.
We cannot
fight them. We cannot attack them
because the
are full.
People are learning.
Everyone is reading our read and write.
People are virtuous.
When we pass by their homes, we only
hear
the Quran
read inside
by the women and the children.
Okay.
We'll wait.
Guess what happened?
A musician
came from
Baghdad to Al Andres.
Think his name is Zariab,
and he opened
a house
and made it where he is
started teaching
music.
So that is an institute of teaching music.
So now music is played in every home.
And
what music brings,
drink,
dancing,
women.
So now
you pause and you hear music.
So that is the time.
The Spaniards,
the
attacked the Muslims.
The last
leader of the Muslims
When he was leaving
in Andalus,
he wept. He cried.
His mother told him, cry cry like women.
You did not
preserve
this
this kingdom. He didn't preserve it.
So now you're losing it. You didn't protect
it. You didn't preserve it.
K?
You were totally indulged
into sinfulness.
So this is
a rule, divine rule
applied to everyone.
Any nation becomes
the moral.
There is moral decay,
that is the decline.
Finish.
Finish.
So Islam
put many precautionary
precautionary
measures
to prevent
falling into
immorality,
indecency,
into,
committing
fornication,
adultery.
Allah says,
32.
Do not go near, adultery.
It is truly a shameful deed and an
evil way.
See the
the beauty of the Quran
and see
the precision
and the accuracy.
He didn't say do not commit to.
Mm-mm.
No. No.
He said,
If the is
done here,
there's a prostitute,
don't come near to that place.
Don't go
don't go to this
Red Vistix,
districts.
Don't go there.
Don't go
to the places
where this faisha,
this
sin is committed.
And that's a proper zina
or anything that will lead to the zina.
That's why
our
our love prohibited
music
in the sunnah of the prophet.
And in the Quran,
the Allah say said,
the vain talk.
Mankind, there are some who
purchase.
And
others said it is
singing
the songs, listening to songs,
music,
listening to songs.
So Allah predicted that.
He
told us.
This is a prophecy, and we are seeing
it today.
He said,
there will be people from my Ummah.
Make it halal.
It is halal.
They make it halal.
They legitimize
it. They make it legal,
lawful
when it is
zina.
Zina
becomes
halal.
Prostitutes,
they
have
license,
permits,
so
it
is
legal
for how to
practice the.
And they give them
oh, he's
giving offering service to the community.
Service to the community.
Selling her owner and spreading disease is offering
services
to the community.
K?
See what the shaitan does?
They don't call her prostitute.
He's a social worker.
He offers services to the community.
He spreads the HIV.
That is the service she gives.
So here, the said
that they will make the
the
the
It's the or and
silk, natural silk, meant they will start wearing
it.
So they become
feminine.
They lose their masculinity,
their manhood.
And you see the Muslim youth today.
See the Muslim youth.
How they look.
Like, girls
pulling down in their trousers.
Part of his buttock
is shown.
This is the
youth.
They
attack
the bright future of the.
China,
communist country,
is fighting this,
and try to
make men look men
and encourage that
And you see in the Muslim,
the Muslim youth,
how they look.
He has a ring in his ear. Lipsticks.
They became feminist.
Or harim.
For men to remain
tough as a man.
It is silk for women.
They
are tender.
So the silk fits that
fits the nature
suitable for them.
But what we see,
inversion of the fitra.
Men
became
feminine.
Women became masculine.
Women, they lose their real
asset.
That is femininity,
being
feminine.
That is your real you.
You lose it.
You have no bashfulness.
You talk like a man.
You behave like a man.
You dress like the man.
You cut your hair, and you appear
like a man,
Like a male, not a man, a male.
Finish.
You're lost.
You're lost
because that is not you.
So now if a man wants to get
married, do you think he would think of
you?
You will never.
What is it? I I'm not going to
marry another man.
I want a woman. A woman.
When she talks, she is feminist.
When she smile, she is feminine.
When she walks, she is feminine. She's graceful.
That's what a man wants.
That's
why
you find some many of the Europeans.
They,
they got married to from the far east
because the women there are feminist.
They have that still
nature
of being feminine.
But to
reverse,
finish,
a new woman
behaves like a man and a man like
a woman.
They are cursed.
Allah's curse upon the men who imitate
imitate women,
and Allah's curse upon women who imitate men.
So here, the prophet
mentioned that
part of my ummah, a group of my
ummah will come, and they will make it
halal.
Halal,
they make the
halal, wearing
natural silk, also.
While hamra, they will make a ham of
halal,
alcohol.
Salt,
normal.
Muslims,
selling it,
drinking it.
And
music
musical instruments.
So the music
is the avenue to
It
leads to the because
it plays
and changes the optimistic.
When you listen to music, what does the
music do to your body
without
knowing, without feeling? You see your body starts
to
resonate,
to vibrate,
k,
with
the
the tune.
Your body starts to move.
That's what the music does.
Leave alone the words of the song.
Songs maybe in
sixties
and we've heard that or seventies,
still they have something
romantic.
Today,
everything about *, *, *.
So here, Allah
is saying,
don't come to
anything that will
trigger your desire and make you commit the
zina. Anything
will
lead to the zina. Don't go to it.
Alcohol will lead to zina.
Music will lead to.
Don't go to places
where the faisha,
shameful deeds,
are committed.
So
don't come near to it. Like the hamal
hamal is there. Don't come near to it.
Allah didn't say don't drink it. No.
Because if Allah said
do not drink it,
that means I can't sit with those who
drink it,
but told me don't come near to it.
Because if I sit with those who drink
it, I'll be tempted.
Maybe someone will tell me, have a sip.
It is not going to make you to
harm you. I will intoxicate you.
But Allah told me, no.
Don't
go there.
That's how he protected me.
Don't sit
at a table
where alcohol
is served.
Haram.
Don't go there.
So, similarly,
do not come near
to
a zina and whatever leads to these shameful
deeds.
Why?
It is something it is a shameful deed,
the So this
is, example. The
is not only
That the only Fahecha is Zina. No. It
is part of the Fahecha.
It is a shameful deed.
It is a shameful deed.
So any shameful deed is Farisha.
Wasa,
a shabila,
and an evil way.
Evil
way.
The zina
leads to
many, many, many evils.
And see what is happening in these communities
where
is open and free.
What's happening to them?
And what had happened? And what has happened?
Man, by nature, is selfish.
Doesn't want
to commit himself
and be responsible.
And the marriage is a responsibility.
So if the community is decent community, moral
community,
how can he satisfy
his natural
desire?
He has to get married.
But if the community
is a moral,
is open.
Boyfriend, girlfriend,
no one will say this is
shameful.
The girl comes with her boyfriend to her
parents' home,
and they go to their room, and they
live like husband and wife.
Natural.
To the extent if a girl
reached 18
and she hasn't doesn't have boyfriend,
the parents, they got worried.
Oh my god.
She has no boyfriend?
And they might take her to a psychiatrist
or psychologist.
What happened to the fitra of the people?
Because this zina
leads to all
different types
of evils.
The
The purity
of the progeny
becomes
questionable.
Is he my son?
Is she my daughter?
How many children there?
There are
illegitimate children.
Those will become criminals, and they are criminals.
Many of the criminals
because
they didn't have parents.
So
Allah
said,
this is a way of destruction
way of destruction.
An evil way.
So what are the
precautionary measures
Islam provided?
See, the beauty of an Islam
is not
it does not view us
as human being
in an idealistic
way.
Islam,
Allah
knows us as human beings, so he addresses
us
as human beings, and he knows our
faults, our deficiencies,
our weakness.
So that's why
Islam
address the issue
of
the carnal
desires or the
desires of the flesh
and said,
you need
to vent this desire,
fulfill it
in this way through the marriage.
Because
in the history of man,
some people
who call themselves religious
try to suppress this
innate, this natural
feeling,
instinct.
So no marriage.
No marriage.
So you go against your own nature.
Either you
start suffering and having
depression,
or you commit
secretly.
And you know recently what happened,
and every day you read about the scandals
of religious
people.
Why?
Because they are not allowed
to
fulfill this desire
in the proper natural
way.
So naturally,
that what will happen.
It is
inevitable
inevitable result
and outcome.
So Islam
admits
it. The men and the women to get
married.
As a matter of fact, the. So let
me say,
If you don't get married, you're not from
me.
You're not from me because I marry woman.
And he encourage the youth.
Oh, youth,
whoever is
can afford
the cost of the marriage should do so.
Means
the financial
ability
and the physical ability as well
to get married.
Become not, if not it,
then start fasting
because fasting will weaken
the sexual
life.
Through the marriage,
and we need to help
our children to get married
and make it easy for them and facilitate
it.
So
among
these
precautionary measures,
how
to
protect
the
individual
from
falling into
haram, into sinfulness.
The
first thing
Islam teaches is the
strength of imam
to build
up this faith in the heart.
This imam,
the fear of Allah.
So when you have this strong iman, this
will
be a cause
to prevent you
from falling
into
the Haram. Allah
says,
in Surat 201.
Indeed,
those who fear Allah
those who fear Allah,
when an impulse
touches them from Satan,
they remember him,
Subhanah,
and at once they have insight.
Those who have those who feel Allah
This visiting
thought
keep visiting you.
You are sitting.
This thought
attacks you
from the.
Now you are a practicing Muslim or Muslime.
You committed sins in the past,
but you repented,
and now you are sitting.
And flash
flash
of what you used to do.
Who displays that horrible scene,
visiting you?
So the righteous
when this impulse touches them,
this devilish thought
touches them,
They remember Allah.
This is how they react.
And at once, they have inside.
That scene gone.
That visiting thoughts gone.
That devilish idea
vanished.
This is
and connected with which
means
immediately.
Fat is one of the connectors,
which means
the action takes place immediately
to
say
I
knocked
the
door,
and
it
was
open. Immediately,
it was
open.
So here,
immediately,
the moment they remembered Allah,
they now have sight,
have insight,
have insight,
have the basile.
And that devilish
thought
vanished
and disappeared.
So this is the importance of the iman
and to be always
in the state of the dhikr and the
istighfar.
Because this what the shaitan does.
Shaitan attacks you
when you are in a state of heedlessness.
Then these ideas,
glimpses,
flashes,
they come.
But if you are
in the state of the
state of
and your tongue is busy,
is far away from you.
Also, Allah said,
it
shows
a lot of. I 202, the one after
it.
But the devils
persistently
plunged their human associates
deeper
deeper
into wickedness,
sparing not effort.
K. This what the devils
and shayaffin do
to those who
form friendship with the shayateen.
They
facilitate
the sins for them.
They provide for them.
Come. This is the new movie. Watch it.
Come. There is
a new place we'll go
to have fun.
So the,
whether they are the from among the or
the humans.
But the devils persist persistently
plunge the human associate.
Now you are
colleagues,
close friends,
intimate friends with the shayafi.
So bear the consequences.
They will push you. The will push you
to
the harm.
They support them. They strengthen them. They encourage
them.
Diba
into
wickedness,
They do not spare
their effort, any effort
to facilitate the halal for you.
Allah
tells us in Surat Yusuf.
The Surat Yusuf
is a beautiful Surah that we need to
study it
and deduce lessons from it.
Yusuf alaihis salaam,
who got half the beauty of the human
beings.
And now he is a slave
in the house of the Aziz
of Egypt,
the king, the ruler.
So he's a slave,
stranger,
And now he is seduced by the wife
of the
king.
So I'm gonna say so it's Yousef
23.
And the lady in whose house he he
lived
tried to seduce him,
locked the door
firmly,
and said, come to me.
He replied,
Allah is my refuge.
Allah is my protection.
Allah
is my
refuge.
It is not right to betray my master
who has taken good care of me.
Indeed, the wrongdoers
never succeed.
Let us reflect on
this ayah.
What are we that who let you?
She exerted
efforts and tried
to seduce
her. So who took the initiative?
She took the initiative.
She started.
Young man,
half slave,
and so handsome.
So the one in his house,
Yousaf left,
tried to seduce him.
See the Quranic expression.
Not means she closed. No?
And in the Arabic language, if a letter
is doubled
to emphasize,
the meaning becomes diva.
So see, the lamb
is doubled who has.
She locked the doors,
closed them
once with the key
and door after door,
many doors.
1 after the other, he is rocking, rocking,
locking.
She doesn't want anyone to see,
so she made up her mind.
She planned it.
I have to get
get him.
So now it is safe.
No one can see us.
You are afraid someone will see us? No.
All the doors are locked, and they have
the keys
with me. Okay.
Come.
Faqalik.
Hey,
Talak. Hey, Talak. I'm here ready for you.
Come.
Faqalik. See
The iman
is a prophet.
No way.
Not
Allah. Allah
is my
Allah is my bloodshed.
Allah is my refuge.
I will not do this.
How can I betray my master?
I'll never do this.
See the
the
honesty,
nobility.
It is not right to betray my master
who has taken
good care of me.
Oh,
The wrongdoers never succeed.
Never succeed.
So he has to run away from her,
But the doors are locked,
and he is chasing him and he's running
away as you know.
And she tore his shirt.
And to their surprise,
her husband came back.
Well,
So now she's what to do? She's
she was caught red handed.
So she has to lie.
You have to lie.
See, this
slave
is trying to * me.
So Yusuf said, he is
trying to seduce me.
So there was a wise man
with the king. He said, we'll check.
We'll see the signs.
If he is attacking her to *
her, then she will be defending herself,
pushing him away,
and his shirt will be torn from the
front.
But when they check,
the shirt was torn from the back.
That means he's running away, and he is
after him.
So the iman, my dear brothers and sisters,
this is what we need to instill in
our hearts and the hearts of our children
that Allah is watching us.
Allah
sees us
wherever we are,
so we have to keep that in mind
and the fear of him
So we stop at this point. May Allah
save us
from
falling into Haram or committing any shameful deeds.
May Allah send in our iman and your
iman, and may Allah protect all of us
from the Haram Amin. And may Allah
forgive us our false mistakes,
ignorance, and sins.
May
Allah keep us remain steadfast on this beautiful
till we meet him,
and he is pleased with us. I mean,
may Allah
unite our
and
may Allah reward all of you immensely, my
dear brothers and sisters,
for your patience, dedication, and attendance.
To sheikh Salam for a
very important and beautiful and very informative lecture.
With Sheikh Salman's permission, can we take a
few questions?
Okay.
Is it is it permissible to say to
another Muslim,
we should buy that product,
and then later the person
ends up not buying the product
product
because they found a better deal?
He promised to buy a product, then he
changed his mind? Yes. Because they found a
better deal.
Okay. So let's say that if I got
it correct, that I am,
selling certain products. And he said, okay.
I need this product to import it for
me,
and they want it, and they did. Then
he changed his mind because he found it,
another project may be cheaper, and he
though I now bought the product for him
and he
changed his mind.
That is not correct.
A Muslim should keep and maintain his word
and his promise.
K?
You asked me to import this project for
you.
I was not in need of it.
And you committed, and now you change your
mind.
A Muslim should fulfill
his commitment.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Let me know.
If someone saves money with me just like
saving money with an Islamic bank,
can I or the bank use the money
to do halal business
without the consent of the owner of the
money,
provided the owner has not yet returned
to collect back his money?
If this is permissible,
am I also obliged
to share the profit
realized from this money
with the owner of the money?
The
First of all, let us
understand how the banks work. The banks work
when using people's money. That's how the banks
work.
Every minute
your money is in the bank, it is
used.
They're using it.
Though they are not allowed, but they're using
it.
For example, I'll give you an example.
Let's say that your salary
was paid
and sent from your company to the bank
on this date.
If you got immediately to the bank to
withdraw it, you will not find it.
My salary was transferred. You come tomorrow, sir.
Why tomorrow? I you need it now. No,
sir.
Come tomorrow
because we are using your money now
to generate.
Imagine
the salaries of 1
company.
All the employees
is sent to this bank. Millions are sent
to this bank.
So the bank is using that money
for 24
hours and generate
money.
That's how the banks work.
They use your money.
Now this is an Islamic plan. They are
not allowed to touch your money.
They're not allowed.
Unless you
said,
yes. I don't mind because Islamic banks,
they have something called where
they can use your money
and in projects in, projects
and in business,
and then you will,
get a certain percentage of the profits.
If you agree to that, then they are
authorized.
K.
But if your
account is
current account or check account and is not
saving account,
they have no right to use your money
at all.
So now if the the
type of the account is that you gave
them the permission to use your money,
then
and the transactions are halal transactions,
and then they gave you
the the profits,
your share of the profits,
then, yes, it is halal for you, and
you can use the profits.
It's halal for you.
But if it is
conventional bank or Ziba Bank,
banks based on river.
And
they use your money, and they give you
a profit.
And it's not profit.
It is it
is, usury or interest, they call it.
Then this money is haram for you to
use,
which they gave you.
What to do with it? Can I should
I leave it with the bank or take
it?
To be honest, some of the scholars, they
say, don't touch it. Leave it.
Holds holds this opinion.
I will just say, no. Don't leave it
with the bank.
Take it and give it to the
the,
to those who are in need, the and
for the common good.
For example,
for the,
paying school fees or
toilet papers or the
road,
making roads
in in a town
or the,
in a village
or paying the bills of electricity and water,
don't give it to the people to eat
and buy food by that.
So you give it to the charity organization,
and you tell them this is river.
Okay? Riba. You make make it clear to
them.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Inshallah, they'll let me know.
I'm asking about the.
How is it, done, and when is it
done?
Okay. The, that means the feast for the
wedding. Yes.
Okay.
So the,
it is sunnah
sunnah. And the when
he saw, I think, Jabal bin Abdullah
or, Abdul Rahman bin. Now if he saw
one of the Sahaba,
So he saw him wearing new garments. So
he
realized that he got married. He said, you
got married?
He said, yes.
He said, and you give her? He said,
yes.
Said, how much? He said,
this,
much of gold.
Said,
oh,
Then make for us
even if it is one sheep, one goat.
So the is sunnah.
When the
should be done?
Before the consummation or after the consummation?
It is after the consummation.
That is the sunnah.
But the practice in many Muslim countries, the
is done before
the consummation on the wedding day.
This is the practice
in many Muslim countries. Is this clear to
the questioner?
Yes.
Our honorable Sheikh. May Allah allow us to
continue with your excellent teachings,
Amin.
Could you please explain
the great, great words that good scholars
including you, are always using at the opening
and the ending of their lectures
and their importance
or their origin from
that one.
The the opening dua and the ending dua.
Yeah.
So the is the question asking about the
opening speech?
Yes. The opening speech you start with before
you finish the lecture, and then the the
the dua that you make at the end
of the lecture.
The, opening speech is the,
called
the
the
This is what the used to,
to say,
and he used to teach it
to the
to the Sahaba.
K. So
it is sunnah
to begin with the Khutba
al Haya,
which literally, it means the speech of need.
And,
today,
many Muslims, they hear that Khutbat al Haya
only on wedding
when they are signing the wedlock.
That's why they some they call it Khutbat
al Nikah.
But it's not. The used to say all
the time
all
the time. And they it is a reminder,
of course, because
every time
you are reminded
that
the best guidance is the guidance of the
and
the worst of innovations and
novelties
is the
our,
So
the words of all the deeds and matters
invented in the deed are these
innovations in the deed.
So it is a constant reminder always.
Muhammad, the best guidance
is the guidance of the prophet
And yet
we know we hear this reminder all the
time,
but in reality,
we think the guidance is the guidance of
others, not the prophet.
And you conclude
okay.
The the speech or the
either by
the dua, the kafar of the
Majlis.
Allah. I remember it.
Or you conclude it in any way by
praising the Allah
and sending salawat upon the prophet
So this is,
from the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes. Very clear.
Sheikh. Sheikh for amazing
lectures.
Was Aziz the king of Egypt,
or was he the governor?
As I have read as governor or minister,
did
prophet Yosef
become the king
later of Egypt,
or he was in the top levels of
government?
Yes. So Aziz Nasr,
whether we say he's he was the ruler
or was a a minister,
which is
doesn't, make any difference.
Okay. So he was a guy who has
heavy weight in
in the in the state.
Regarding Youssef, Ali Salam.
Okay, so
let's say he was a governor. No problem.
Regarding,
Yusuf Alaihi Salam, no. He was not the
king. He was not the ruler.
K? He just took a position like
a minister of
finance, something like that,
because
he asked for that because Egypt is going
to face
great famine.
Because he see when he interpreted
the 7
fat cows and the 7 lean cows, which
means 7 years
of
rain
and a lot of produce,
and then there will be famine after that.
So that's why he volunteered, and he asked
to take that position.
And that's it.
So he was not a ruler, and he
was not having
full authority.
That's why
he could not take his brother
except by
placing the measure
in in their bags.
Okay?
That is it.
Otherwise, if he had the power and the
authority
and no one will question him, he would
just have kept his brother with hand,
and no need for him to resort to
such method and way.
So he was not,
the ruler or the highest authority,
in in Egypt. No. He was not
Ali
Salam. Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes.
As a follow-up for
the Wadhina question,
some sheikh told us that we go, for
example, to the girl's family for.
The feast they serve us is enough for,
and there is no need for another
on the man's side. Is that ruling valid?
Okay. So Wilima is done.
This what they are you are saying that
they,
the
family of the girl, they
invited the people and,
to this meal, and
and it's done.
Yes. With the. Yes. Enough for the women.
And no then no need to to have
it for the men's side.
Okay. There's no harm. There it is at
the end of the day, it is it's
not mandatory. It is recommended.
It is recommended. So
if, someone is financially able to do so,
there's no problem. It's not a big harm
after the confirmation
because we from the sunnights, it's after the
confirmation.
So if it is one sheep and you're
invited and it is just those relatives,
your in laws and maybe close friends, then
do it.
It's better for you. Next.
What is your advice to me if I
experience microaggressive
or passive
aggressive behavior
in the workplace,
which I think is related to my being
a Muslim wearing hijab.
So she,
she becomes aggressive at work?
No. She's she's she's on the receiving
end
of, aggressive and passive aggressive
behavior.
And the it's like,
lesser than aggression,
concealed aggression, like
hidden, like passive aggressive
behavior.
Is is sarcasm
falls under that into that
category.
Okay. So
you mean
people,
they talk about her sarcastically
and she sees the hears negative comments and
stuff like that? Yes. Yes. Yes. And she
thinks it's related to her being a Muslim
and wearing the hijab.
What is your advice?
My advice is the patience.
K. This is a test for us. Allah
is testing our imam.
So people, they
will come across many things.
People who are impolite, people who misbehave,
people who
lack manners,
fools.
So we should not lower ourselves to their
level
and react or respond.
Just ignore them.
Ignore them as Allah teaches us in the
So
when the fools try to provoke them,
they say peace.
Peace in the sense that they do not
respond.
They just move.
So just ignore.
Ignore and do not react.
Do not react.
And this is a test. Allah tests our
iman,
test our,
test our patience.
May Allah strengthen you, and may Allah
save you from
such harassment or such
negative attitudes
that you come across.
May Allah protect you and preserve you
and strengthen your iman Amin.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes.
Is it permissible to pray 2 rakah
upon entering the Masjid
after praying the 2 sunnah?
It is permissible to do what? To pray
2 2 rakah
upon entering the Masjid
after praying the 2,
sunnah.
Okay.
Here, the people, they
they mix things.
What is called Tahiyyat al Masjid,
the greeting upon
of the mosque literally of the Masjid. When
you enter the Masjid, you pray Turakaz.
So they think
it is special to rakaz.
So for example, if I entered the masjid
after the Adan of Fajal,
and I paid the Sunnah of Fajr.
Then I will pay another.
That's not correct.
Since you you played the sunnah of the
fajal, that is that is tahiyat al masjid
as well. No need for you to play
another tulakas as tahiyat al masjid. No need.
And the prophet
when he saw a man playing 4 rakas
before the fajr,
he plays 2 then another 2.
He blamed him, and he said,
So when you enter the masjid, only 2
rakas.
The or that it is the sunnah
of the of the
or the sunnah of the salah, whatever,
enough.
You don't pray
sunnah,
and then you pray that and other.
That's not
correct. That's not correct.
So
the masjid, whenever you enter, you have to
play turakas before you sit down even if
it is on Friday
even if it is on Friday. And the
imam had already started the khutba,
because many people, they enter the masjid, and
they sit down.
And between the 2 khutbas, they get up
and pray.
That's wrong.
When they enter the masjid,
though the khatib, the preacher already
started
delivering his sermon,
you pray
as lightly,
and you sit down. You don't sit, and
then you get up and pray,
Well, you sit without pray.
Because the prophet
when he
sat,
he said, he said, he said, no. He
said, get up and pray.
Get up and pray.
So he sat, so the prophet
told him, get up and pray to Allah.
And also, he said in the other hadith,
So when one comes to the masjid, while
the the imam is delivering the the
sermon.
Should play 2 rakats lightly.
Okay.
That means they you don't
prolong them,
and then you sit down.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Okay. It's it's just added there just now.
I pray the sunnah of Fajr at home.
Okay. So if he plays the sunnah of
Fajr at home, then and he went to
the masjid, then, yes, you play to our
house.
This will be Tahit al Masjid. Yes. No
problem in that case.
Okay,
I and this other question is, what is
also the ruling
on praying
nafal
after the Adan of Maghrib
before prayer?
It is sunnah.
It is sunnah,
but it is not sunnah
mu'akkadah, which means regular sunnah the prophet
practiced it.
But he recommended it.
Because the sunnah, we have sunnah mu'akada, that
means the prophet
was
praying it all the time.
And sunnah, in the sense that, recommended.
So regarding this
as after Maghrib, after the Adan, and before
the paying the other the, the,
the,
he said,
Then he
said,
Pay before
the. That
means the the 5th prayer.
Pay before the.
He said it 3 times. Then he said,
if you wish.
If you wish. If you want, do that.
Or if he wishes to do, do that.
That's why
the Sahaba, they used to pay these 2.
So if a stranger comes, he would
think
that they already finished
concluded
and finished the the prayer
when the reality is we're paying this to.
So it is recommended
that if there is a gap and the
imam
gives that chance, you pay to rakash before
paying the itself,
the first payer.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes, Sheikh Sam.
Dear honorable Sheikh Barakalahu
Fik for your lesson.
My question is regarding fundraising money for a
deceased person
to send for building a a misjud,
school, or water well.
Will this reach the deceased person
as Sadaqa Jariyah
if it is not established during his life,
but rather after his death and is not
his
will, but on his behalf.
There's no problem,
If his brothers
Muslim brothers,
okay, they collected money
after his death,
and they built the mosque or a well
or whatever
orphanage.
Inshallah, just for
him.
Next.
A local medical institution
which works as a platform
in medicine
in the medicine field
is offering a course
relating to thick of medicine
for medical persons and students.
Along with this,
they're offering
another further aim course,
which includes
basic Akita.
It is compulsory to do this course
with the thick
course.
We're not sure about the Akita of the
Muftis of the platform,
but their educational background suggests
certain
institute which are known to follow the Ashare
and Matroni Creed.
We could skip the classes but have to
attend the exams of the course. What is
your advice regarding this course, Sheikh? Can we
enroll in it without attending
the Akita
classes?
Attending the,
no harm.
A is problematic.
Problematic. Why problematic
it is going
you are going
to hear doubts,
which has
these doubts against
the belief of al Sunnah, the belief of
the Sahaba and the Tabireen Tabireen
including the 4 imams.
So you don't attend
the calls on the
unless you are qualified
Muslim
who knows his correctly,
and you have advanced students of knowledge, and
you know
the Aqidah, the Matuities, and the Aqidah of
the Asharis.
So
you think that you want to know and
to hear it from them,
those who believe that,
they are on this matter.
So if you feel that there is a
benefit and there is no harm,
and you
you're not going to be affected or influenced,
then there's no harm. But the even that
case, I will not encourage you to do
that.
One should not, I mean, flex his muscles
and say, I'm qualified.
Because you never know. Maybe once you have,
you have no answer for it.
It will get stuck into your mind.
So stay away from attending the course of
the.
Stay away.
And if this, the course,
is related to the to your field and
what you should know as a Muslim,
there's no harm.
Though you have to be very cautious,
and anything said and is not supported with
proven evidence.
Okay?
Cross check
it. Cross check it and find try to
find out
what is the proven
evidence for this particular
masha'allah or issue.
Is this clear to the question now?
Yes, Sheikh.
What about those people
who make remembrance
and may and slaughter animals
on and off every year for their dead
parents.
Is that permissible? I think they're asking.
No. We, you,
you see the the
he mentioned
what will benefit the disease. He said,
K?
So to,
they make sacrifices,
Especially many people, they do this this during,
the,
the.
So they slaughter for,
some animals
for them and some for the those who
passed away.
So there is no there's
no
for the
for the dead. They passed away. Not here
for them. They're here for those who are
alive, those who are living.
But the sadaqah, yes, the sadaqah
will,
benefit them.
Can I,
as a sadaqa,
buy an animal and slaughter it and
distribute it to the pool?
A sadaqa.
Not on a particular day, not on the
day
or on the
or
any other day.
I just go to the abattoir and slaughter
an animal and take the meat and distribute
to the poor to the needy.
And my intention,
I've for my parents, for my father, my
mother, whatever.
The answer, yes. You can do that. No
problem.
This is.
That's it's a form of. But on a
particular day or a particular
event, no. Try to avoid it.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes.
And this is the last question.
In your classes, we learn about enjoining the
good and forbidding the evil.
But if we try to do that in
our communities,
they will tell us we are judgmental.
How how do we get what's your advice
for for this issue?
This shows the
the lack of knowledge and,
ignorance of the Muslims.
K? So we are not judging you. We
are reminding you.
Reminding you because Allah said,
that
means remind each other.
So the
reminding each other
benefit the believers benefit
the believers.
So
the
so remind
reminding them and about
a certain,
thing that they are doing,
which is wrong.
So that is from our deed.
We are not saying
that you are going to * or no.
They are saying advising you. And
what they were also will happy, what they
were also will.
Allah saying that they advise each other, and
they give mutual
advice to the to each other. So this
is just so out of love we are
we are saying this to
you. K? We are not saying that
you are sinful. You are going to *.
That's not
our business.
They're just out of love. We remind you.
So if you like the it's that's well
and fine.
Otherwise,
So, yes, so we should not, I mean,
make it,
I mean, an issue,
of
fight back or argue with them. No. No.
No. Avoid arguments. Always, my dear brother, sister.
Don't argue.
Don't waste your time. Don't argue.
Even if you have the truth with you,
don't argue.
And as the prophet
said, I guarantee a house in the journal
for the one who leaves the argument.
Even if he is,
has the the the truth is on his
side.
He leaves it. So don't lose that house
in the journal.
Is this clear to the question?
Beautiful
beautiful advice,
So if you'd like to conclude, Sheikh.
May Allah bless you. May Allah reward you.
May Allah protect you, protect your family.
May Allah elevate your status
in this life, the one to come.
May Allah keep us remain steadfast in this
beautiful day
till we meet Allah
and he's pleased with all of us.
And may Allah reward you, my dear brothers
and sister, for your patience and attendance.
Till we meet in the coming session, I
leave you in Allah's
company and protection.
