Muhammad.
To her.
Brothers and sisters in Islam.
This is our weekly class,
The issues
of or aspects
of the life of the people.
Jahilia.
Jahilia,
by now, you should have known it.
The the definition of
is a psychological
state
state of mind
that refuses
and rejects
the divine guidance, the revelation,
refuses
to abide by the law of the creator.
And it devises its own way.
It invents its own way,
techniques, methods of running the mundane affairs
of its
advocates and adherence.
So this is improve the definition of Yahireh.
So it is a state of mind, psychological
state,
a form of rebelliousness
against
the the will of the creator,
against
the instructions
of the creator,
the revelation of the creator.
So this is state when a man becomes
rebellious,
arrogant,
and he decides to say, no.
I will not obey. I will not listen.
I will not,
follow what you tell me.
I know how to run my life. I
know how to run my
first.
I can
have my own wage.
So this is the journey.
When man becomes so arrogant
and gives himself
a right
of
making
rules,
laws, which are
opposite
or against
what the creator says.
So if you study
all the different
of the people throughout history.
If this is
very common,
This is state of rebelliousness,
of rejection.
So the Jahiliyyah
is not a limited period of time.
It's not that
period that
existed
prior to the advent of Islam.
Yes. That was part of Jahiliyyah.
But we cannot confine and say Jahiliya, that's
just that that's all. That's it. There's no
Jahiliya.
No.
It is a state.
It's a condition. It's a case.
It will take place. It
exists, occurs
whenever
you
reject
Allah,
whenever you reject his
instructions, his teachings,
then that is Yahibiyah.
That is Yahibiyah, no doubt.
Because you follow, you become ignorant.
So so you are.
So you are in a state of ignorance.
You think that you know when you don't
know, and this is your compartment ignorance.
You think that you know better,
but in reality, you are destroying yourself,
destroying yourself. Don't you see the foolishness of
man
in our time?
That he has invented
weapons
that will wipe humanity.
What does this show?
To finish you, to annihilate
humanity, the human race.
Is this intelligence
or foolishness?
So man doesn't know actually
what is really
good for him and what is beneficial.
He thinks he knows when he doesn't.
When he doesn't
because man by nature
is ignorant.
Yaho
and arrogant.
Yaho
and
arrogant.
Ignorant and arrogant.
And he harms himself.
Mad harms himself.
So
when humanity
drifts away
from the state's path,
from the way that was drawn for them
to tread upon,
the state's path, the way of success,
the way of salvation, the way that will
lead them
to
to deliverance,
the way that will lead them to
Allah's pleasure,
the way that will lead them to to
life of bliss and everlasting
life.
When the human humanity leaves that path,
then
they reap
the evil
fruit. The evil fruit.
Because that's what Allah
said. That's what Allah
You know better. Right? Okay.
You think you know your way. Right?
Okay.
Go ahead.
Quincy.
I'm an adult and dickhead who ever change
the way
from my dickhead, from my remembrance, from my
guidance.
What will happen to him?
No doubt about it.
Indivisibly,
it's going to happen.
For mankind.
Miserable life
miserable life.
Don't you see the misery?
Miserable life.
Because you
are lost.
You don't know your direction.
You lost the compass. You don't have the
compass
that will show you the way. You don't
have it.
So you are wandering blindly.
And this life, first of all,
this life,
life of dank,
misery,
narrowness,
unhappiness.
You feel you are suffocating.
You don't know what to do.
You feel
inside you something you are missing.
Vacuum inside you. Holiness inside you. You don't
know what to do.
You
have no you are helpless.
Man is helpless
to fix his own problems. It's helpless,
and that's natural
because
of its elegance.
He turned away
from the right way
and straight path.
So this is the evil fruit of Jahiliya.
If a fruit of Jahiliyyah.
So the Jahiliyyah
is not that
period before
the days of Islam
when the Arabs
were killing each other
for burning their daughters
alive,
for drinking alcohol,
and worshiping Titus.
No doubt.
That's clearly a passage of
all of
it.
It's not all of it, and it's not
only that period.
So state of mind,
psychological state,
state of rebelliousness,
state of arrogance.
Aren't you here today?
Many advocates of Jahiliya?
Those advocates and call
us for Jahiliyyah.
So we don't want we don't want
we don't want the guidance of Allah.
They don't say it. This
as I said it.
Say, no. No. No. We don't want sharia.
Sharia as he died. He died. We don't
want that.
We don't want the law of Allah.
We want the law that we made ourselves.
We want to follow that law. Not the
law made by the creator. No.
The law made by the creator
is
not applicable
our time.
See the elegance? Not applicable.
The law
made
by the creator,
imposed by the creator
who created us,
who knows our nature,
who knows everything about us, who knows
yesterday
and today and tomorrow.
So his law
addresses all
our issues,
all our problems.
Is not applicable.
So whose law is applicable?
Oh, genius?
My law?
Hello.
Do you know what's going to happen tomorrow?
No.
So how can your law be applicable for
all times?
Are you perfect?
Do you know everything or you are limited,
and you have your own deficiencies?
Unlimited. Have my own deficiencies.
So naturally,
your project, whatever comes from you will be
deficient like you.
It's logical.
It's logical
because you don't know.
Secondly,
oh, you,
human legislator,
fool, human
legislator, are you going through and act the
law and make a law
against your own self,
or you'll take into consideration
what if
I'm coach shorthanded?
How can I escape?
So you make
and leave loopholes
in your law,
so
for you to exist if you are quoted,
pretended.
The law made by the law
giver
by the creator.
No loopholes because
he's perfect.
Allah
is perfect.
Al Kamal
So whatever he says
is perfect,
his love is perfect,
and he has no interest,
and he's not going to reap any benefit.
It's only for us
to serve us,
to make us feel happy
and have a happy life,
balanced life,
successful life,
just life in this world,
and everlasting one,
blissful one
in the next.
So listen to what Allah says.
I
f
What a beautiful eye.
Begins with a question.
Which means,
did you study?
Did you eat?
So you can ask a question with
or.
Do they seek
and desire
the judgment
and the ruling
of Jahiliya?
They seek that.
The judgment judgment
of the this
pre Islamic period,
this days of ignorance,
people following their whims and desires and worship
their whims and desires,
that's what you prefer.
That's your preference.
That's what you seek.
You prefer
to
my
to
my judgment,
Allah's.
How dare
you? How dare to
entertain such
thoughts and such idea?
Complaining
me,
my law,
my judgment
to the judgment of the fools, the ignorance?
What's happened to you?
What's happened to you? This is the question.
Is it the judgment of the
days of ignorance
they desire?
They seek?
They aspire to have?
This is what they want.
What's your mark?
For those who
have rationale,
those who have minds, those who have intellect
to reflect
to reflect.
Say,
An intellectual
should not seek the judgment of Jahiliya,
should not do that.
Any wise person
to seek the judgment of the unwise,
the or Noah,
al Alim, al Hakim.
Not the ignorant.
Not the fool.
See
see our
ignorance as human beings
and see our arrogance.
We are limited.
Physically, we are limited. Our physical strength is
limited.
See the curve of a human being? The
curve.
Day 1, you go when you are born.
Then your the curve is going up, going
up, going up. You reach the peak.
Peak now.
You know? Figure your sense of youth.
Prime youth.
Then
falling.
Curve is coming down coming down coming down,
then
it hit
the bottom.
This is it, your curve.
When you entered the
life, you were ignorant.
You didn't know anything.
When we came to
life, day 1
came out from
our mother's wombs, we were ignorant.
And Noah brought you out
of your mother's belly, your mother's womb,
knowing nothing.
Nothing.
And he taught you,
and he provided for you, and he facilitated
for you
the ways to
to gain knowledge. And he provided you with
all the faculties.
And he told you,
use these faculties
to know me, to come close to me,
to fear me, to worship me. But you
misuse
these faculties,
and you cast the limit, and you denied
its existence
even.
And then you go back.
You came from him, and you go back
then.
You go now. Yeah.
Coming back.
Getting old.
Aging.
Everything started to diminish,
to weaken.
That strength
leaves you.
I really feel pity for the brothers
who are showing on the on the neck,
their muscles, their biceps, their
feel pity for them.
They don't know a day is coming when
all that will go.
I'm not against
taking care of your body, and
it's
no need. Why do you display that? Why?
K?
That's the strength we'll leave you.
The sight,
that piercing sight
will weaken,
and soon you start using the scratch.
This
sharp ear
will weaken,
and you will
time will come when you start,
shouting.
Shouting because you don't hear
what people say.
Soon.
Your back will bend.
You lose this the
the cane, the stick to
support yourself.
You need someone
to help you to get up.
You need someone to take you to the
toilet to clean you,
to become old, to become a child again.
This is this is you, old man.
You become addict,
and you prefer
the judgment
of the ignorant
and the arrogant.
You fare it through the judgment of the
creator,
the most powerful,
the Noah,
the all wise,
the omniscient,
the most merciful, the most kind.
So that's why this question is there.
If I open it, get it easier.
Is it the judgment
of?
They
Woman
Another question.
Another question.
Who? Man, who
is better than Allah
in matters of judging
judgment?
Who could be
a better judge
judge
than Allah.
Who can be?
Tell me where on earth. Who can be?
Where?
Who can be better than Allah?
Judges.
He's just unfair.
His
judgment
is
purely justice.
Just ruling.
Just judgement.
He wrongs no one.
He wrongs
no
one.
The Lord will never
wrong anyone.
Don't you see
that our deeds
will be waived
on the balance
in the day of disruption.
Balance.
You see it. You see
the presence of the balance by your own
eye
And your deeds,
the good one and the bad ones, the
good ones and the bad ones,
are materialized,
materialize
based on the both sides of the balance.
Why?
To show you
that you are not wronged.
This is your work, man.
This is your work.
See your balance?
See your misdeeds
outweigh your good ones?
You
blame no one.
You blame no one but yourselves.
That's what you
did.
I didn't found you.
Well,
your love will never
Naho wrongs himself.
He's unjust himself.
He made he made
injustice
alarm to himself.
Oh my servants,
I made
ruin injustice
and fairness,
for habiting for myself.
I should not have that,
and I will never
wrong anyone.
And I may have won
being unjust to each other or habitate.
For you, you should not
wrong anyone
and should not wrong yourself
or mistreat each other
or being unjust to each other.
Never wrong each other. So
Allah
this is this is how come I did.
That's why
there is balance because Allah knows our nature.
He knows the nature of man.
Man,
he is
argumentative.
He argues a lot.
He lies.
Dishonest.
He knows the nature of man.
So in order to
silence everyone on that day
so no one can
have an excuse.
That is a balance.
You see with your own eyes.
That is a record.
A record.
So you cannot deny.
Will be handed over to you.
Read it.
Go through it.
Is there anything you didn't do?
Say so?
So when you're
when this person is sent to the hellfire,
he knows
for sure
he deserves that fire.
Yes. No excuse whatsoever
whatsoever.
Records
given.
These are weight.
Records,
day this day, this time, this place.
You did this.
That's why they are lost this when they
read
their books, their records,
they say,
What's wrong with this book? What's an amazing
book? What an amazing record?
Never misses anything,
everything big, small,
except that it is recorded.
And
they found what they did. Presents.
Oh my god. I forgot this.
Everything is here.
And your
lap long snow.
So this is the love that you should
trust.
You should love.
You should worship.
You should obey
and accept his judgment.
And leave
judgments of others.
And who could be better?
A better judge
than Allah with the people of faith, people
of,
people of
submissiveness,
of submission,
and
believe in
Allah
So
this is the my dear brothers and sisters.
There
are evil consequences
evil consequences
of jahiliyyah
when you
follow jahiliyyah.
There are evil fruits
you're going to read
when you turn away
from the way of Allah.
So
listen to what Allah says.
15.
And what?
And, also,
Allah
says
as well from
9 to 10. Let's just
go through this ayat.
Eye number 9,
ensure
that.
See the problem with many of us Muslims.
And now Ramadan
is few days, 2 weeks
away.
And Muslims and it's the month of the
Quran, and you will see that the Muslims
are competing in,
reading the Quran and,
many times,
but they read it just
in the parrot fashion.
It has no impact on their hearts.
Noted up,
not pondering and reflecting.
We need to reflect and ponder upon the
the speech of Allah
when we read it.
Allah says,
Has they not traveled throughout the land to
see what was the end of those
destroyed before them,
they were far superior
in might.
They cultivated
the land and developed each more than these
ever had.
Their messengers came to them with clear proof
Allah would have never wronged them, but it
was they wronged themselves.
So to reflect here,
when Allah
narrates
and mentions
the stories of the people of the past,
those who came before us, it's not
The aim
is not to entertain
us
or to entertain
the reader.
The objective is to deduce
lessons.
See the
nations that were perished.
This is a question.
Have they not traveled through the land to
see the consequences
and
the evil consequences?
And what happened to those who came before
them?
Those who were destroyed?
The mood,
surround.
What happened to that?
Well, let me see if it
if it means to reflect upon them.
As they not traveled throughout the land to
see what was the end
of those destroyed before them.
They
were arrogant.
People of art,
they constructed
a city
that has no parable
in the world.
This is
which is buried under the sand dunes in
Arabia.
Buried. There's no
replica for it.
Nothing is equal to it. Ever creation.
So they
became arrogant.
Allah finished them. Send them the wind blowing,
finishing them,
wiping them out.
What?
And the moon
who carved
The rocks
made their dwellings into the mountains.
Can you imagine?
And you see this.
The holes, they carved
the mountains,
the rocks.
Well, let me ask
you. They reflect and ponder.
This is the fruit of
when you turn away,
when you follow your own whims and desires,
when you reject the guidance and you oppose
the messengers
who came to you,
the mood.
They disobeyed the prophet.
Won't them
don't ever touch this shikamal.
One day, the water of the shikamal,
the other day for you.
And the day that it was the camel,
you drink milk from that camel.
But they did. They hamstrung the camel.
Oh, I destroyed them.
Destroyed them.
But this tremendous
child,
Clyde,
had finished them,
and their dwellings remained intact.
Their food remained intact.
The pass by
their dwellings.
He passed
quickly and told the Sahaba,
cry. If you don't
cry,
pretend to cry,
and do not touch anything,
food or water, whatever.
Then I laughed. I said, tell us about
those these,
and those perished nations.
If you are
arrogant because you feel you are strong,
they were
more powerful than you, stronger than you. They
had more strength than you.
More strength than you. That's right.
Though
scientists are still
puzzled
and perplexed
today, they don't know how to resolve the
the the reveal and the mystery of the
building of the bed pediments.
How they manage to do that?
So if you think you are
because of your
strong and powerful, they were more powerful than
you.
They were far superior in might.
So don't be arrogant because you have power.
When nations came before you,
more powerful than you, and Allah destroyed
them. So don't think that
you can do whatever you want
and spread corruption and mischief. No.
Allah will stop you. The creator will stop
you
and destroy you.
There were and might.
That's what they did.
These perished nations,
those who came before,
they cultivated the land.
They cultivated
the land
and developed
it more than you.
More than you.
This
is
the behavior of Jahiliya
and the Jahiliya.
Allah's saying,
they were powerful.
They cultivated
the land.
They developed
and established civilizations.
And what do you see today?
What remained
of that ruins? Nothing more than that.
If you go to Greece, you see ruins.
Go to Egypt, you see ruins. What is
he? Go to the dwellings of Salih,
ruins?
Ruin. The Allah send them.
Allah send them
messengers,
warners
with clear guidance.
They rejected that.
They rejected.
They messaged
us
because they
think that
we have might.
We don't need. We don't need. We don't
need you.
Oh, who? We don't need you.
Hard to say so.
The moon, we don't need you.
To
Musa.
We don't I don't need you.
I am your
this is what Faram said. Right?
My Jahiliya is better than what you call
me too, oh, Moses.
Really?
Musa told him
during the debate
that my lord is it happened.
Said, okay. Okay.
You say you're,
you have god other than me,
above. Okay.
Hanan.
Where is Hanan?
Yes, sir.
Construct
for me
a high building
high building.
I want to go up and see
the lord of Moses.
See the arrogance?
This was what I did.
I want to go up
because he's here.
He
feels
I have everything.
These are the rivers of the Nile,
flow beneath me.
People worship me.
He goes at other people. He gives him.
Alright. I
am.
Must high,
lord, this most
supreme lord of yours.
Okay. We'll see.
What's happened to him?
Around.
What's happened to
him? Drowned
with his army.
Drowned in the sea.
And Allah saved his body.
Why? To be a reminder
for all the Firauns,
all the pharaohs in the pipeline.
Because there are many pharaohs in the pipeline.
So Allah left that pharaoh with them to
remember.
Okay? If you you follow his way, this
what will happen to you.
So
The messengers came to them.
Proves.
Clear cut evidence,
science,
medicals.
Because Allah,
he wants people to be guided.
Allah
is not interested
in sending us to hellfire. No.
He wanted us to go to Jannah.
That's why he created this Jannah. I've got
to say my wife will I'm so bad
to accommodate all.
That's what he wants.
That's what he loves,
but because he's just
and he wants us to worship him willingly,
not by force,
he has given us the free will to
choose
either to obey or disobey
and see his justice see his justice.
He created for each one of us 2
states, 2 seeds, 2 places,
1 in heaven, 1 in *,
and he tells us, you're huge.
You disobey me? Your place already there.
You obey me? Your place already there.
That's why
in the hadith,
in the day
of
resurrection, the Malaikas, they come dragging the kufar,
the disbelievers.
And they will come to every moment
and tell that moment,
this kafir is the one who's going to
take your seat in the hellfire,
and you are going to the jannah,
and you will also take his place in
the jannah. You will inherit him.
You will inherit his place in the jannah,
and he will take your place in the
hellfire.
So
you
choose your place to go. You choose your
place.
So those who
disbelieve, they just chose to
to go to
*.
So Allah established the proof and the evidence
and the huja against everyone.
The
messengers came to them. The warners came to
them
with bayinat.
The messengers came to them with clear proofs
that they are sent by
Then Allah said,
A law which have never wronged them, but
it was they
who wronged themselves.
My dear brothers and sister,
you should blame no one but yourself.
We should blame ourselves.
In
land and sea
because of what the hands of man,
Corruption.
World of corruption.
Environmental
corruption.
We are corrupting
everything.
Assad everywhere.
A land
and one in the sea.
Who caused this corruption?
Man himself.
Man himself.
Allah would never wrong
have wronged anyone
wronged them.
But
that is
So they are the ones who wronged themselves.
They wronged themselves.
And then the to follow that.
Then most evil
was the end of the evildoers.
The most evil was the end of the
evildoers
for denying and mocking the signs of Allah.
This what will happen to those who
deny,
those who reject,
those who say we don't want
the divine guidance.
We don't want
any connection with heaven,
with Allah.
We don't want
anything.
So this what will happen to them.
So the most evil
was the end of the evildoers.
Those who committed,
assume.
What?
For denying
and mocking the signs of Allah.
They deny the signs of Allah. They mock
the signs of Allah. That's all we can.
So, naturally,
this
is the
the fruit that they are going to have.
This is their reward
that they deserve
such a reward,
which is the punishment
in hellfire,
staying
therein
forever
and ever and ever
for eternity.
So this is the archetype. This is the
outcome.
This will be the end
of those who
spread corruption,
those who do evil, the evildoers,
To denies and mocks.
I have to wash upon her.
See
also,
the foolishness
and the
the shallowness
of
mentality
and the way he thinks.
Allah says about him.
See, this is it.
When you are away
and you drift away and
you reject the hidayah,
finish.
Finish.
Allah sent him
Musa and Harun, and see what Allah told
him. Musa and Harun, what did he tell
them?
Allah is telling his own prophets.
Be gentle with them. Be lenient.
Give him nice speech.
Oh, the lenient. Soft lenient.
Perhaps
his heart will soften. Perhaps.
But
it was adequate.
He showed the science.
Musa showed him the the signs that he
is
sent by Allah.
No. No. No. No. You are a great
magician.
Keep in mind, my dear brothers and sisters,
you are on the stage path like this,
then you start to drift
5
degrees. It's 5 degrees.
You can come back quickly.
10 degrees. You can come back. But the
more you are
far away, and the angle is getting bigger
and bigger.
K.
So you are far away from the straight
path.
Difficult.
So always, if you
deviate, come back.
Repent.
Turn back because
the will pull you,
and then you become just
his tool.
He moves you the way he likes.
Tells you do this, do that, do this,
do that.
So if I'm
a
51.
See how he fools his own subjects.
So he addressed
the his own subjects,
his own people.
He called them.
And pharaoh called out to his people,
boasting.
Oh, my people,
am I not sovereign
over Egypt as well as all these streams
flowing at my feet?
Can you not see it?
As e as if
he were the one who made all these
streams
to flow beneath
his feet.
Not Allah.
So he's rejecting. So he's attributing
these things to him.
So he's boasting.
I own Egypt.
K? I am
the king.
See all these streams.
Right? All these canals.
They're eating exactly a flower.
It needs me,
from underneath me,
at my feet.
Don't you see?
So what he's trying to say to tell
them,
follow me
and obey
me.
Okay. You will stop at this point
save
us from
going straight. May Allah
save us from
becoming arrogant.
May
Allah fill our hearts
with
the
iman. May Allah fill our hearts with his
fear,
And may Allah
keep us to remain steadfast
in this beautiful
and
make us die as Muslims. I mean,
may Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes
and ignorance.
And may Allah
unite.
May Allah unite.
And
may Allah
elevate your status,
my dear brothers and sisters,
in this life, and you cannot deny.
And may Allah reward
you mostly for your patience and attendance.
The first question, Sheikh,
I always have this feeling of riya through
the whispers of shaitan when I lead people
in salah.
It's always difficult to get this feeling out
of my heart. Kindly note that I don't
do anything extra from the things I normally
do in prayer
that would warrant the congregation
to notice as a show off.
How would you advise me on how to
fight this battle with the Shaitan?
Should I allow someone
else to lead the prayers in order to
free myself,
or should I continue to lead while
trying to constantly fight this riya feeling?
Even when I
try to purify my heart
in the prayer,
Shaitan always comes back to whisper
ria to me.
This is his job.
This
is job is the
And,
that's why
he comes to us in the.
As a matter of fact, there's a special
for the. You know?
This is his job.
Right? So
when the Adan is, announced, he runs away,
the.
When
the
finishes,
comes back
while you are in the masjid waiting for
the, he's whispering
and reminding you about things.
He doesn't want you to
be
in the last company
for these few minutes. He doesn't want you
to
read the Quran. He doesn't want you to
engage yourself in.
So he's working
with you to remind you, oh,
don't forget.
Your wife told you to bring bread
because we we don't the the the there's
no bread at home.
Oh, oh, also,
don't forget
the to bring the diapers.
So he's,
reminding you.
K? So to distract you
so that you you not benefit from this
few minutes you are sitting in the masjid.
I remember
Sheikh Mohammed Hussein, he
told us in one of his lectures.
He told us, listen. I want you tonight,
each one of you to go
and read one use of the
Quran, and I tell you in in advance
what will happen.
Will come to you.
The moment you start opening the Quran, you
start
yawning. Continue.
Don't give up.
After reading
few pages, the shaitan will start to compromise
with you,
telling you, okay.
Enough enough for tonight. Enough.
Four pages, you read. Hamda. Enough. Enough. Good.
Can't have sleep.
Don't listen. Continue.
Continue.
Now he is boiling, Shaitan.
He will go and bring your wife.
The food is ready.
She never asked that question to you.
Normal days.
When you say, where's the food? You know
the place.
You know where to find it.
And there's a microwave. You can't heat it.
Now she came.
Just telling you the food is ready.
Tell her I will eat later as usual.
Another failure for the shayta.
She went.
He said the shaykh continue reading.
He will bring her back.
She comes again,
and she's sent
in front of you.
Your family, they have rights over you.
She never asked that question. Every time you
ask her
to come to bed, I have a headache.
And now she is coming and say, your
family, they have light over you.
So the sheikh said, continue until you finish.
So this is what the shaitan does.
Yeah. Sitting in the masjid,
that's what he did. He does to you.
Then the imam starts the,
he runs away.
Started the salah, he comes back,
and he started
doing his job.
And
one of the
said,
this is a a sign healthy sign
that the shaitan is working in you
because you have imam.
So he wants to spoil your salah
because he not feels and knows that you
will get closer to Allah.
And he knows that you are struggling to
concentrate,
and he doesn't want you to concentrate. That's
why he is
working on you in the salah,
and he keeps reminding you giving you reminder
after reminder.
K?
For example,
and there is this
clock on the wall of the Nasrid, the
pendulum
going.
So he tells you, wow. How did they
make that clock?
See the movement of the pendulum?
And you start to think about the clock,
and you go inside and see the mechanism
of the clock.
If you
realize his check,
and you spit,
he leaves you. And he comes with from
another door.
How was you see this beautiful carpet?
Persian carpet?
And now you are imagining how they are
weaving the carpet.
You wake up, realize this, and you spit.
He leaves you, and he comes throughout the
salah like that.
Imam
Abu Said. He said, and this is Mujahada.
This is jihad in the salah.
Jihad.
Ibn Abbas,
was asked
by
non Muslims.
They said to him, why
we don't have in our prayers? We sheitan
doesn't come to us to
to whisper.
We don't experience
this what you Muslims have.
So told them.
And what was the good in your prayers?
Whether
whether you pray or not there's nothing there
in your prayers.
Knows that. You're already in already in his
pocket.
You're already going to * with him. He
knows that, so he's not interested in you.
So he comes to those who are far
away,
and he
trying
to pull them to his side.
So now coming to the questions, this is
from the.
Don't listen
to these
these satanic whispers.
Give them.
Ask Allah to
to save you from this,
the tricks and whispers of Hunzib,
and never leave
the salah and leading the people the prayers.
You should know that this is from the
and
especially if you are the the most, I
mean, learned person or the one who knows
the more than others. And you are so
the people, they have appointed you to an
imam. So
don't quit and don't
pay attention to this
and this satanic whispers.
Just to recall it now, what the Imam
Ghazali
once said.
He said
he's talking about the and the and the.
He said, if the shaitan tells you
that, oh, you are prolonging your salah for
the sake of showering up, he said, make
it longer.
Make it longer. So he will not
tell you again that you are
prolonging your salah for showing off.
And he then he gave a parable actually,
they said, Imam
He Said if one wants to write a
a book,
so he wants to have peace of mind.
So he went to
the
outside his house in the field, sat under
a tree,
and he started to write.
The tree
there were many birds sitting on the tree.
So then when he started to ride, the
tree started to sing and make noise
to disturb her.
So he took a a stone and throw
it at the birds,
and the birds ran away.
And then he came back, sat down, and
sat alight, and the birds came again.
So Imam Ghazalaihi
said, he said if he keeps just like
that throwing the stones,
he will waste his time.
So the best thing for him is to
cut the tree,
then the birds will not be there.
So he's talking
metaphorically.
So what he say,
when
you start your salah,
and this
evil thoughts and whispers started to come.
Cut the tree,
which is the root cause of that,
and try to concentrate
and try to ponder and reflect
upon the
and try to
enjoy every bit of the salah and understand.
That's why
this is my advice for myself and my
brothers and sister to read
the book of salah by Imam Ibn Tayed.
K? Get out of salah.
You see,
you enjoy every bit of the salah when
you
say when you raise your hand like this
and see the wisdom behind it.
And then you put your hands as your
mom Ahmed was up, what's the wisdom of
putting that? He said, this is you are
like a captive,
a prisoner
before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
So
have sukoon.
Don't move.
So enjoy everything. Reflect upon the ayaat that
you read.
Reflect upon the.
You articulate this that
you are
he is the most high, and you are
in the lowest part.
The highest part of your body is on
the floor.
So when you
internalize
these beautiful meanings and you reflect, you enjoy
the salah.
And the salah,
the more you prolong
it, the more you enjoy it.
So this is the
the shaitan tricks of the shaitan. May Allah
save us from the tricks of the shaitan.
And may Allah grant us in
the salah. And, of course,
one has to prepare himself
before the salah
by
relieving himself if he wants to go to
the to answer the call of nature,
to eat if he is hungry, etcetera.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
We go to the next question.
Assalamu alaikum. May Allah reward you, Sheikh. Can
someone take Baya
with the Sheikh of the?
The answer, no. This is bitter.
There's no Baya
except for the Khalifa
of the Muslim. That's it.
All these
bayah of the shirk going to the sheikh
and the the Mureed,
okay, the disciples.
K?
And I advise all my brothers and sisters,
those who are following,
particular to
to leave this.
K. Follow
Muhammad. Follow the way of the of the
Sahaba.
Follow the way of the 4 imams.
Okay. Leave this shirk
It tells you,
okay. I have to know everything about you.
Listen to whatever I tell you.
Why should I give you?
What for? Who are you? Are you the
caliph of the Muslim?
So this
is.
So don't do that.
Don't do that.
Next question.
Next question.
Why did
Aisha
go to Iraq?
The
that
happened between the Sahaba,
between
Shayna Ali and Shayna Mahali
And, you
know, the background,
which is
the killing and the murder of.
Was killed by criminals,
group
of criminals,
gang, came from different parts of
Arabia
and from outside Arabia.
And
the mastermind
of that,
crime
was Abdullah ibn Sabah,
who was not a Muslim, pretended to be
a Muslim.
So it was a conspiracy. It was a
plot
against the Khalifa,
and he was killed,
And those who killed him
remained in Medina.
And
Jaidna Ali
became the Khalifa,
and he wanted to figure out the real
killers. So he asked, who killed Uthman?
He said, all of us.
It's impossible
for him
to kill them all because he was Adi
of the Allahu Anhu, said Nadi, and he
knows that. And I it's impossible.
So he wanted
to investigate and find out who are the
real culprits.
Of course, as you know, that's
is the the closest
to
from the perspective of blood types.
So
so now he's asking for,
for retaliation.
And he knew that, is
incapable
to find and figure out.
So he decided
to,
to find them. Those who could say not
not to fight say. No.
So
the people
asked our mother, Aisha Dela Anha,
to come along with them.
So they said,
when you are with us and that's why
there was with Aisha Balha and Zubayd.
See? All of those.
So when the people see, you with us,
then
the chance of bringing reconciliation
between the
the Muslims
is very high, and
this is what you
you can do.
That
the Muslims
will be come together,
and the culprits
will be
killed.
And he came out
of the Allah and how was done. That's
why he came out, not to fight.
And even Sheikh Nam Ali, they can the
people of the shaman, they came out is
to just to negotiate
with Sheikh Ali
to hand over the killers. That's not to
fight Sheikh Ali,
and they agreed.
Okay? They are alive at an agreement
that the next day,
those whom did not think they are the
ones will be handed over.
But now the criminals, they realize,
k, that the next day, this is what
will happen to them. So what they did,
they
attacked
the army that came from Sham, the people
of.
And now
the,
those of them,
so that
now is attacking them.
They didn't know that this is those criminals,
and
the fight started.
So that's why this is the battle of
the Al Jamel, the camel, because her mother
Aisha was
fighting the camel.
And many Muslims were killed and including
was killed.
And when the fight is dropped,
said, Nali talked to.
But before that, he talked to. He said,
oh,
didn't it you know that the said
that you will be
one day
standing against me and you are mistaken?
He reminded him of a hadith.
He
forgot that hadith, so he said,
and he
decided to go back,
not to fight.
And one of those criminals followed
and killed him.
So it is a fictional that happened. So
our mother, Aisha, didn't come out to fight.
You have to keep this in mind.
So that's why,
said now when he saw that the people
are
concentrated
around the camel defending,
our mother,
he hamstrung the camel so the camel fell
down,
and then they took our mother.
And then he,
of course, sent her back to Medina.
So this what happened between the Sahara.
It was not because they wanted to kill
each other or to fight each other,
not because they hated each other or they
neither that army that came from a sham
to fight Sheikh Nahadi. Nothing like that
at all.
And later on,
when Zaid Ali
actually
was also
murdered
by
the Harijites,
and Al Hassan became the Khalifa.
Immediately, you see, Al Hassan, he calls in
the,
and he said, you are the Khalifa
for all of us.
And the Muslims,
came back together,
and that year was known as Ahmed Jannah.
Ahmed Jannah.
I hope this has cleared to the questioner.
Next question, please.
We
go to the next question. The next question
is,
is there people or other people in Jannah
right now, or is it authentic that the
prophet
Idris
is in Jannah because it's
where death found him?
Regarding the story of Idris al Salam that
he died dead,
Okay.
The,
the authenticity needs to be checked,
number 1.
Okay.
Yes.
Status,
like, Isa alaihis salaam was raised also
in heaven right now.
Musa,
Isa alaihis salaam.
But he's going to come back, Isha Alaihi
Salam.
Isha is going to come back
and live in earth and die on earth
again,
and then he will be resurrected.
So
what we know, first first of all, before
I answer this question,
anything related to the right, to the unseen,
there's no way to
know anything about it except through the
the the Quran and the.
So if we don't have any evidence neither
in the Quran nor in the,
when I say
the authentic,
authentic hadith,
then we should say we don't know
because Allah didn't tell us.
And anyone
who talks and says, yes,
has to produce evidence. Otherwise, you will be
lying and speculating
and following his own speculations.
K. So
what we know,
the souls of the, yes, they are in
the Jannah, those who
who died.
Their souls are in in
the Jannah,
and the souls of the shuhada are in
the Jannah. This for sure because we are
told about that.
I hope this is clear to the question.
Next.
We'll go to the next question.
The next question is,
is that young man who Dajjal will kill
and then bring him back to life,
no. It's not
died before.
Is
dead.
Died.
And the
yeah, are the ones who are saying, oh,
oh, is still alive. And in Ramadan,
you can
visits the people at night till
comes. Oh, this is nonsense.
Died,
and is a prophet. He died.
And,
has
written a small book about this,
and he mentioned all the narrations that are
weak and
unauthentic
about the.
We saw the.
We were traveling in the in the
in the desert, and the came and all
this, what you hear,
especially in the gatherings of the Suvish.
So Al Khudr is a prophet, as Allah
mentioned, in Surat Al Kahf.
And, you know, the story behind that that,
Musa alaihi salaam one day, he was preaching
to
from
morning till evening. So one of
asked Musa alaihi salaam,
is there anyone who's more knowledgeable than you?
Said no.
And he didn't say Allah knows best.
So Allah told him no. There is a
person.
Go and learn from him. And, you know,
the whole story in.
How can I find him? Oh my lord.
He'd say, take a fish with you. Whatever
you lose that fish,
that is the place.
So when
Musa, Alisa Salam
found Alisa, he said,
He said,
Musa said, and I'm Musa. He said Musa.
So he knows about Musa.
Musa. Moses of Bani Israel. He said, no.
Yes.
So they are Musa.
Now
is talking to Musa.
Yeah. Musa.
Oh, Musa.
Moses. You have knowledge from Allah. I don't
know, and they have knowledge from Allah. You
don't know. So both of us will receive
from Allah.
From Allah.
And, you know,
the story
and towards the end of the story,
told Musa
All what you have seen, I didn't do
it
by my own.
Okay?
Will.
Or because I wanted to do that. I'm
a.
It's not based on my own decision.
Allah commanded me to do that.
Allah commanded me to do that.
The Survish,
they're
saying that
was not Nabi, was
because the Survish, they say
that Al Wali can be higher than the
Nabi.
And their power
The status of sainthood
is above is less than and
above prophethood.
But
is
and
he said,
but I did because my lord
told me about that to do that.
Because if he was just a
a saint or holy man or a pious
man to
come
and kill a child,
he has no right to do that.
The Abu Bakr Sadiq of is
a of Allah.
Imagine saying Abu Bakr comes and to find
their child and kill that child or that
young boy.
He will be killed
because he killed an innocent soul.
Because he did that based on why revelation
from Allah
That's why in the beginning, he made it
clear to Musa
that you have from a light on top,
and they have from a light on top.
But the sooner they say no. This is.
Like, we have giving him knowledge from our
presence.
So they said the can have
this.
I don't know that this knowledge from our
presence is the the regulation.
So
is a prophet,
and he died.
And he is called
because he was sitting
in,
in a place. When he got up, that
place turned became green became green. That's why
it's called.
And the evidence that he died
because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he took allegiance
from all prophets and messengers.
If any of them
was present
at the time of the prophet,
he should
have supported and must have supported
the prophet
He would have fought along with the prophet
and he would have followed the prophet.
But because he died,
he didn't show up. He didn't come
because Allah
took the allegiance from them. If
my prophet, Muhammad at
his time, any one of you
happen to be
alive,
he should support him.
K? So
passed away, died.
So wipe this
information from your mind
that is is present,
is alive, comes, visit the people, all this
nonsense that you hear
in the gatherings of the and
from the the peers and the.
May Allah guide all of us, amen.
Next question, please.
Amin, next question. Is it permissible for a
person who takes a long time in the
bathroom for prayers
to not pros
to not postpone?
Respond.
First of all, you should not
stay long in the toilet. This is.
Many people are mentioned, they said many people,
they enter, he said,
they they go to answer the call of
nature and stay in the bathroom
a long time. And sometimes they they go
enter go to that place, they to the
toilet before the adhan, and they come after
the finish.
So this is shaytan. This is.
So you this is the
the bathroom or the toilet is the place
of the shayatin.
Why should you stay there longer?
You just relieve yourself and come out quickly.
Not you stay there for long
and time
because you are surrounded by the jinn.
That's
why you are we are told to seek
a lot of protection
from them when we enter and to quick
and to come out quickly.
K?
So one should not stay in the
in the bathroom
for long.
Of course, the shuhoor,
the shuhoor now that we delay
it. We delay taking the shuhoor because
so that
you will have
the food will remain,
for a long time
in your stomach,
and
it will take time to digest it so
you will have energy throughout the day.
That's why the best thing,
So the people will be and,
practicing
good
as long as they hasten, they're,
breaking their fast
immediately
when you hear the or
even you see the disc of the sun
disappear, you break your fast
and delay the suhoor. This is
the of the. Next question, please.
The next question, sir.
We have toys of animals, dinosaurs, etcetera, and
picture books of many
my son.
Picture books for my son.
So what's the question?
Just for the spelling mistakes, I'm just trying
to understand, sir.
I believe she's trying to say, I try
to put them away in a box, but
I'm worried if the angels don't enter our
home
because of these figures and books. Please advise.
Okay. So
the, the books that the pictures that are
in books on, like, school books and these
things,
okay, they are covered
and they are,
okay,
in the drawers and things like that, there's
no
harm
because of that.
But the pictures on walls
or curtains
or objects
of living things, what they call
the 3 d,
pictures
that cast shadow
of living things.
That's haram. You should not have in your
house
because
the angels of mercy,
do not enter any house that has pictures
or dogs.
The dogs should be outside. If you have
a dog, should be not
inside, should be outside.
If it's a watch dog, should be outside.
And having dogs
inside the home, the will not enter
that house,
So do not enter your house.
Go
there. Take their place. And,
you should not have, pictures on the walls
or on curtains
because the prophet
when he came one day from
Israeli expedition,
Aisha, he bought a curtain,
and there were pictures drawn in that curtain.
The prophet Salami stood at the door, and
he didn't enter the house.
Said, didn't you know that those who drew
who drew such pictures
will be asked on the day of resurrection
to blow the the spirit, the soul into
them?
So they cut the curtain and made pillars
of it
so people sit on it. So the scholars,
they say,
if the these
pictures
were humiliated, people strip over them or lie,
lean against over them like they made cushions
of them, then that's permissible.
If you have something, you don't throw it.
You can turn it and make something out
of it.
But next time, you don't buy
such
pieces of cloth.
So the pups are telling me he did
not enter the house
when he saw that
curtain. K.
And one day,
one night,
Yibreel promised
to visit the
The
was
waiting.
And then
when Jibril
he met Jibril and Jibril came, but Jibril
didn't.
So he told him,
like, we can we not entered the house.
We met angels of Allah did not enter
the house that has a, picture of,
or or a dog.
So there was
an like, an
an
an image
in the house.
So he was told to chop the the
head of it, the upper part, so that
it will appear like a tree.
And then they started looking where is the
dog, and they found a puppy,
okay, entered
and under the
bed, and they removed that dog.
So the angels do not enter
a house that has a dog
or
pictures.
So
most of them
should,
I mean, abide by these
prophetic
teachings
and the of the
and they should not have dogs inside their
homes or pictures on on the walls, etcetera.
I hope this was clear to the questioner.
We go to the next question.
Yes. Yeah.
For your lessons, stimulating
reflection.
My question is regarding 15th
night of.
Could you please mention authentic Hadith and if
there are is is any sunnah
that the prophet
did?
The.
The. No.
Except one narration says that Allah
forgets the people on that night.
The 15th, Allah forgives
the people.
So there's no special
on 15th of like
and stuff like that.
It's.
He
didn't do it, and he's our example.
So he's the one who informed us that
Allah forgives the people,
and he didn't tell us that you
pray that night
or single it out and make it a
unique
because in some Muslim countries, that night likely
to utter.
So this is bitter. It's just like a
normal night.
Right?
The other narration that Allah forgives to people,
right, and the number of people that Allah
forgives as many as the sheep of any,
etcetera. These narrations are not authentic.
K. So
night 15th of like,
14th like 13th like 16th like any
other night.
So it's not special.
To make it special, you have to produce
your evidence.
Otherwise, you are making bitter.
And if you say, oh, man, this, say
this, imam, that, forget forget about it.
Your imam is Muhammad.
What did he say?
Did he tell you?
Anyone else?
He's a human being.
He's.
He's understanding.
K?
So the prophet,
he did not celebrate that night. He did
not make it a special night.
Neither the prophet,
no honorable Bakr, Omar, Earthman, Ali, Sahaba.
So why you make it unique and special
night?
Do you know better than the?
I hope this is clear to the question.
I may Allah guide all the Muslims.
Next.
Amin,
next question.
What
about
the toys if they are in a box?
Is this okay? They are 3 d shaped.
Regarding the toys, it's better you keep them
outside,
outside the house,
in the guarding, somewhere outside,
not inside.
And you tell the boy
the the the girls when they want to
play,
okay, your toys out. You play outside.
Keep them outside. That's the best thing.
Because nowadays, the toys, they are not like
the toys of of.
As well. A stick and few
strings attached
to it.
Today,
the tires, they walk, they talk, they dance,
they
but I'm the same.
So keep them outside.
That's the best thing. Next question, please.
Sheikh, that was our final question of tonight's
session, 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 may Allah reward all of you
immensely for your patience and attendance.
Until we meet in
the coming session,
I leave you
in Allah's protection
and company.
