the
Welcome to our weekly
of virtues of Islam with the honor of
Sheikh Sheikh Salam Al Amri. This is lesson
number 14. I will pass the mic and
the screen to the Sheikh, and the Sheikh
can begin.
And sisters in Islam.
Our weekly
class of Islam,
virtues
of Islam.
This beautiful deen,
may
Allah make
us live upon its teachings
and die
while we are Muslims.
In previous sessions, my dear brothers or sister,
we discussed that
among the beauties of this deen that
it
blocks all the avenues
and ways that might lead
to evil.
It
blocks it to protect the community, to protect
the
the
Muslim members
from falling into the traps
of the cursed one.
So the Sharia
blocks
the ways that might lead
to the Haram. What leads to the Haram,
the means
that leads to the Haram,
it becomes Haram itself.
That's why
no free mixing with the opposite * because
that is
the
way will that
way will lead to the Haram.
No
between a man and a woman.
No between
a man and a woman,
alone, sitting alone.
A man who is not a.
Women cannot travel without
because there is risk,
and it's risky for them.
So this is the beauty of this deal.
It would
safeguards
in the way
and barricades
so you will not enter into these areas,
the zones
of sinfulness.
Today, you continue,
Among these
precautionary measures,
the Sharia are provided.
And the problem with the Muslims, they do
not study the deen. Had they studied the
deen,
they would have realized its beauty.
My dear brothers and sisters,
the one who created
us,
he knows
what is good for us and what will
harm us
because he is our maker,
and the maker knows his make.
Naturally.
So if we follow whatever
whatever Allah
tells us,
we will have peaceful life,
happier life,
successful life.
In this world
as well as in the hereafter.
But if we go back in our heels
and leave what Allah says,
then the fruit will be evil fruit,
and the consequences will be dreadful.
And this is what humanity is going through
because they turned away from Allah's
path.
So we as Muslims,
we have to
come back
and hold the robe
of our lord
because this is the way of salvation.
This is the way of success.
There's no other way
but
the way of the
divine guidance
following the revelation.
So among these precautionary measures in Islam,
which reflect the beauty of this theme,
that women
should be dressed
modestly,
decently.
Because the biggest
trial,
tribulation,
our he
feared for his ummah
are women
women.
Historically, when you study the
decline and decay of many of the civilizations
in the past
because of corruption,
moral corruption,
and women played vital role.
One of the enemies of Islam
in the
last century,
he said,
Which is true.
Glass of wine and a woman
will be more harmful,
more effective
than 1,000
canon
against the Muslims.
No need to use 1,000
cannons.
Just use 1 woman
and one glass of wine.
That will do the job.
And this is what they are doing nowadays.
Because the Muslims by default
when
you confront them
face to face,
they come back
to the deal.
That way, they know
where their strength lies.
They come back to the deed, and they
fight.
So they have been studying
our reactions.
So they are using
different techniques
which will
facilitate for them
the way to control
the Muslim.
So this
strategist
thinker,
he said,
glass of wine
and a woman.
K? They cause more damage
and harm to the Muslim
than 1 what 1,000
cannons can do.
So no doubt, and you saw you see
in the media
how they are
working around the clock
to
destroy
the ethical values
and the moral standards
of the Ummah.
And you can see
the downfall
and the rate of corruption among the Muslims.
And this is one of the divine sunan
of Allah
When the moral corruption becomes rampant,
then Allah's wrath and anger
will fall on such people
and destruction
is very nigh,
very close.
So
as Islam,
Allah who created us and who knows the
weakness of men,
he
addressed the women
and told them and instructed them what they
should do.
So
Allah says
I 59.
Yeah.
Okay. Oh, prophet,
ask your wives,
daughters,
and believing women
to draw their clothes
or their veils
over their bodies, over their bosoms.
In this way, it is more likely
that they will be recognized
as
virtuous
and not be harassed.
And Allah is all forgiving,
most merciful.
It does reflect.
So Allah's clearly telling
Muslim woman,
and this is an explicit
evidence
about the hijab.
Subhanahu
Bih Adi.
You hear
those who are ignorant
Muslims.
They call themselves Muslims,
modernist
or secularist.
See, there's nothing. There's no explicit
proof. There's no evidence in the Quran about
the hijab.
And this shows
not the simple
ignorance,
it shows the compound ignorance
because they don't know that they don't know.
So the ignorance is compound, as you know.
Because many of them, they didn't read the
Quran.
Maybe when they were still
children when they were young, but then they
left the Quran. They don't open it,
and they have been brainwashed.
So Allah's saying,
because
the
is the role model for us and his
wives.
Our mothers are the role models for our
women.
So every Muslim,
her mother
is her own model,
and the wives of the prophet
are their mothers.
So take them as example and follow the
footsteps.
Not that you
take
women
as your
role models,
and you emulate them imitate them. Whatever the
women they do, you follow them.
You become
a slave for the fashion industry.
Today, the fashion is like this.
This how you should dress. This how you
should walk and
and all the designs,
they aim at only one thing, how to
display your body
and how to trigger the desire of man.
All the desires.
And they
not only that,
they even
modified
the design
of the
dress of the Muslim,
which is supposed to be roomy and
overflowing
and covering and not revealing
her features and contour lines and her body.
So you find now the abaya,
the dress of
the is very tight.
The waistline is shown.
It is attractive.
So it is fashionable.
So the role model is the,
and your role models are your mothers, the
wives of the.
So
tell your wives,
your daughters
when
you
say.
K.
So the the command
is addressed for all.
The wives of the prophet,
the daughters of the prophet and the women
of the believers,
the believing woman. Understand what we mean?
Okay? So
you you lower
and you draw down
the and
the veil
all over
your
girdle wrap. So it covers
the jave. Jave means the opening.
So this area is covered
and the whole body.
So the
Allah is saying so that they will be
recognized.
Recognize
that they are free women.
They are halal,
not slaves
because the
slave woman,
slave
girls will not be dressed and covering
like that.
So when the free women are covered,
they will be recognized.
In this way, it is more likely that
they will be recognized,
that they are not slave girls.
So no one will dare to
harass harass them
or try to flirt with them and talk
to them.
Because
any community, there will be always black sheep,
black people.
Few, yes, but they're they're out there,
evil doers.
So
Allah
addressed the Muslim woman to cover themselves.
So there will be from the way he
is dressed,
this evildoer,
womanizer,
that individual,
he
sees this is a decent woman.
K?
The way she dressed,
so he will not dare to
come near to her.
So that is
as Allah said.
So this
is by just dressing decently,
you ward off the evildoers
to push them away.
The way you dress
tells anyone,
don't look at me.
Don't look at me.
This body doesn't belong to you.
You have no right to look at it.
You have no right,
so lower your gaze.
That's what
the that's what the Gilbar
sense. That's the message.
When you see this woman covered, he's telling
you
have a sense of shame.
Lower your gaze. Don't look at me.
But if you are revealing
and you dressed
and hardly
nothing is covered,
What message are you sending?
You are inviting
the lustful eyes to look at you.
You are inviting everyone, all the passersby. Look
at me.
Look at me.
Once
I saw an ad, it says,
do you want to know how to make
to turn
heads?
How to turn heads? The heads of the
men? This how you should what you should
do.
This how you should dress.
So when you pass by a group of
men,
everyone will turn his neck and try to
have a look.
Turning heads.
Lot of your *, you're dressed.
No one will look at you.
If you are covered,
no one will look at you.
And that's why
they are attacking the hijab
and the niqab and
because they want the Muslim
to display her beauty. They want the Muslim
to reveal
and to show her body.
Because by doing that,
the vice
will spread,
Immorality
respect.
Allah
He knows that
we have deficiencies,
we have drawbacks.
We're not perfect.
So he's telling us,
I am
Allahu
and Allah's all forgiving.
Most merciful.
And in the hadith,
The meaning
said
that the prophet
said.
2
are the types of
the inhabitants,
the denizens
of hellfire,
whom I did not see.
People having flogs like the tails of the
ox
or the cows
with them,
and they would be beating
people.
And the woman who would be dressed but
appear to be naked,
who would be inclined to evil
and make their husbands incline
towards
it. Their heads would be like the humps
of the camel,
and the camel are the camels with 2
humps
inclined to one side.
They will not enter paradise,
and they would not smell its odor, its
smell,
whereas
its odor would be smelled from such and
such distance. Let's just reflect in this hadith.
So here, this is a prophecy.
This is a prophecy.
The prophet mentioned
1400
years ago,
and we see its fulfillment
today.
It was difficult for the Sahaba
to visualize
to imagine this.
It was difficult,
but we see the fulfillment of this prophecy
every
day and night.
Sun Fan, 2 types,
2 types of the people of *.
I haven't seen them.
I didn't see them. They're.
They're not at my time,
but they will come.
They will come.
So this is a prophecy.
And the prophecy by definition is to make
sure something
to foretell
events that will happen in the future.
So the first thing the prophet mentioned,
men they carry in their hands
whips
like the tails of the cows.
They're carrying their hands.
The commentator, they say this is the policemen.
The policemen, they have
these webs in their hands,
the tensions, and the like.
K, to disperse demonstrators
and all these things.
So they carry this in their hands,
the
The
the of
which means a whip.
Repeat
the people with such webs.
The
right police.
So this is
foretold
and mentioned by the prophet
1400
years ago.
That's why he said,
I didn't see them, but they will come.
They will come.
Then he mentioned,
women.
They are just
Arya.
So
what's this contradiction?
She's dressed,
at the same time, naked.
Put yourself 1400 years ago. How she is
dressed and naked.
You find difficulty
to
imagine this
picture.
But today, it's not difficult for you.
You see them
all over the
the place.
They have pieces of cloth. Yeah?
Are these pieces of clothes
covering their bodies? No.
And you see
how
what's happened to the mindset of the Muslims?
Mindset of the Muslim.
Yes.
1 century ago or less than that,
Muslims are covered from head to toes.
And see it
today.
How do they look?
And
Some women, they just with a scarf like
that
and a skirt,
okay, up to half of her leg.
And she thinks this is hijab.
This is
Muslim.
He's decent, and this is hijab.
Leave alone those who are they don't bought
anything.
When you say,
women, they are dressed yet naked. At the
same time, they are
naked.
K?
Most of the body is shown.
Is wearing something tight, which means the same
thing and transparent.
Then he say he described them, the prophet.
The meaning
the the male male means
inclining,
to incline.
K.
Something
mala
means it
inclines
either side.
So they are not straight.
They
bend to one side.
So their attitude, their behavior
is abnormal.
Abnormal.
And even
they walk,
then when they walk, they are swaying
swaying.
To walk seductively,
to seduce men.
Okay.
So this
description is very, very precise.
So they
are not applied,
Inclined towards what? Not towards
good,
towards
virtue.
No. They are inclined towards
vice,
evil.
And because of this
inclination,
because of this diversion,
they cause others
also
to
go astray, to
incline towards evil because they are
live examples.
They
are advocates
for immorality.
They cause others also
to incline towards the
the ham.
Was the Haram. Then the he gave additional
description
describing the hairstyle,
the way they they do their hair.
There are special breed of cows
that they have 2 humps,
and you find them
in
Mongolia and that area
in
Asia.
Khorasan also.
They call
it means camels,
actually.
But they those who
would here, they have the 2,
humps.
So see the and you see the how
it looks? The is like this.
So
the hairstyle
is piled up
on top of her head
as if it is a
Women, they know that,
and they are
different styles.
So after he, the prophet
mentioned these two types, the men who have
these webs in their hands
and the woman.
Then he said,
this what will happen to them.
They will not enter
paradise.
They will not smell
its fragrance.
They cannot smell
this fragrance of the Jannah.
Though
the smell of the Jannah, the odor of
the Jannah
travels
a long distance
because they are in the hellfire.
They are in the hellfire.
So
my dear brothers and sisters,
this what our Islam teaches us and our
sisters.
Fear Allah
Life is short.
So if you are not waiting your
hiyab, repent and come back to Allah.
And don't be fooled
by your enemies.
Those who
invite you
to remove your hijab and encourage you to
do that.
They just they are inviting you
to the hellfire.
They're inviting you to disobey your creator.
So here at
the,
he clearly
told us
This prophecy,
it is being fulfilled.
You can see it.
They did not
they will not smell the fragrance of the
jannah.
So this is one of the precautionary
measures
Islam.
Taught
to the Muslims
and commanded them to abide by
another
precautionary
measures
to protect the Muslim ummah
is the lowering
of the gaze.
You lower your gaze. You don't look at
the opposite checks
because
these two eyes,
as mentioned,
all these
5 senses
are windows
to the outside world.
So whatever you see
goes to your heart
and affect your heart.
You watch haram,
it will affect your heart.
You eat haram, it will affect your heart.
You touch haram, it will affect your heart.
You smell haram, it will affect your heart.
So all
the input
via
the 5 senses,
they all these
pour into the heart
into the heart.
May
Allah save our hearts
from being corrupted.
We need, my dear brothers and sisters, to
actualize their
You know now,
by now,
the ranks of
are 25 ranks.
Right?
The ranks of are 25 ranks.
So we have to actualize these ranks of
Abu Dhiyya
if we want to become true servants of
Allah.
Five senses
and 5 rulings in the sharia, as Ibn
Tayeem explained.
5 times 5, 25.
So for all the 5 senses, you apply
the 5 rulings of the
of the sharia,
The Haram, the makrud, the fav the sunnah,
and the halal.
So
you apply the 5 rulings for the
site.
Haram, something Haram, close your eyes. Don't look
at it.
Something,
close your eyes. Don't look at it.
Something
obligatory.
Look at it.
Reading the Quran, look at it.
Reading the musaf
because we are commanded to read.
Something recommended,
do it.
Ponder upon the creation of Allah. Look at
the sky. Look at at
the stars. Look at
the the trees, the birds,
the
the forest,
and ponder and see the greatness
and the beauty
in
Allah's creation.
Something
halal,
permissible. It is
you neither be punished nor will be rewarded.
But to
watch the Haram
and and do the,
And then you expect
your iman
to grow
to never
to never.
Your iman will carry on, will continue falling,
falling, falling
until
it disappears.
Yes.
If you carry on committing sins,
shaytan will not leave you.
He will be promoting
you from one sin to another
until
you leave the deen.
You leave the deen.
And
they have mentioned this many times.
He mentioned this story.
He said in Baghdad. It happened in Baghdad.
There was a young man,
called us to make the adhan.
On those days, the
has to climb the minaret
the minaret.
So the imam
would tell this young man, my son, when
you
say
because you turn your your face,
close your eyes.
Don't look. Just close your eyes.
And this young man would do that every
day.
Till one day, the sheikhan whispers into his
ears and told him, what's wrong with you?
Have a look.
In those days, they'll the highest
building will be the minaret,
and the normally, the dwellings are allowing the
masjids,
the houses.
So he's making the
the house.
Next,
there's a beautiful
girl
standing.
So he saw her.
Guess what?
He didn't complete the other. He came down
running.
Finished.
His eyes,
he had high con eye contact with her.
Finish.
This
cubit arrow
hit his heart,
came down running,
went to that house,
knocking.
He said,
I want to marry you.
Go tell them what's wrong with
what happened to you?
I want to marry
you. Say,
it's not the way people, they ask.
They come through proper channel towards the family.
You don't go to the girl until I
want to marry you.
Said, okay. Where is your father? He said,
my father is not here. He will be
here in the evening.
So he didn't play,
the salah. He missed the salah. Finish. Finish.
So he missed the salah.
He's just waiting
for her father. He came,
met her father. Her father told her told
him, son,
we are Christians,
and you are a Muslim.
So what's your problem?
So I will not get you married to
my daughter.
If you want to marry my daughter, leave
a Islam.
Said, I will leave a Islam. Have no
issue.
Said, okay.
Tomorrow,
if they will make the marriage
and sign the wedlock,
guess what? They become because he said, okay.
Okay. This is the cross. Wear it around
your neck.
Put it around your neck and tomorrow.
And that boy died
that very night as Christians.
Christians.
He left Al Islam.
So the shaitan will not leave you
till you leave at the the deen
the deen.
What is the root cause?
Look. Look.
So one
should lower his gaze.
If you want to maintain your
iman,
don't look
at halal.
Don't watch movies.
Don't.
Because
as Imam, he
said the iman is something
very, very tender,
very tender.
So he said,
so the heart of the true movement
is very soft
tender.
Anything affects it.
Haram, looking at the haram affects this and
put the black spot in it.
You make rebar backbiting.
You listen to the backbiting,
another spot.
And you keep adding
these
black spots in your heart
till your heart becomes
totally
covered
in black.
And this is what the prophet
described,
Avraham
Avraham.
So the heart is totally clouded, totally covered.
And when you and when one repents
and starting making stuff up, this
is black spots started
disappearing.
So my dear brothers and sisters,
if we want to maintain our hearts healthy,
we need to lower our
gaze.
Don't look.
Don't look at the opposite *.
Don't look at the Haram.
Even if you are
giving a talk,
you are luxuring.
Lower your head. Lower your gaze. Don't look
at women.
Don't look at them.
If you want to protect your imam.
So Allah commands
Tell the believing
men to lower their gaze
from looking at forbidden things
and protect their private parts
that is pure for them.
Verily, Allah is all aware of what you
do, of of what they do.
Beautiful
eye. Surat Anur. That's why the child of
the dead,
teach your family Surat Anur.
The
of light. Indeed, it is the of light.
So Allah
to all of
us.
To lower their gaze.
Some they are trying to misconstrue.
Say,
looking is okay,
but staring, that is not okay. But to
look, it's okay.
What is this?
Which language are you talking?
The prophet saw a wise seller. He said,
the first look for you, the second against
you.
If you see something abruptly,
that one will not
be counted. But the second one, if you
have a look again,
the angel
will write it.
The look itself.
When he was
leaving
out of heart,
I think al Fazil ibn Abbas was behind
him, and they passed by
some pilgrims, women.
So if Abu look at the at the
girl, a woman.
So the
as you know, the
he sees from behind.
So he saw him. He turned his head.
He looked from the other side. He turned
his head also.
And then he said, a young man,
I fear that the
is
trying to
harm him.
So this looks
in a young woman.
So you don't look.
So they're telling you, okay. It's okay to
look,
but don't
stare. Now
you apply the 5 low links. Remember.
Lower.
Allah.
The ulama is saying, you cannot teach a
woman
the Quran.
Teaching of the Quran.
Cannot do that.
We are while you are looking at her.
K.
So always,
there should be
So you know
your games
from looking at the Haram.
That's why he used.
K? Because not all,
because you have to see your way.
And there are also
things halal for you to look at.
That's why the prophet
said to the when he proposed to a
woman,
did you see her? She said, no. She
said, go and have a look.
So that
to look at your wife to be
future one
that you want to marry
is mandatory
to look.
And see the link
the link between
the lowering of the gaze and the protection
of
safeguarding
the private part.
What is the link?
The link is very
strong
because the eye
triggers
the heart, and the heart triggers the private
part.
That's why the prophet said,
And then he said, well,
And
the private part either approve of it or
disapprove of it.
So there is a strong connection between
the look
and the
reaction of the perfect part because this look
will affect the chemistry
in your body.
See who's talking. The one who's talking without
the creator
who created us.
That is
purer for them.
This will bring you just here, purity to
your heart.
Then Allah ended,
Khabeel, he is aware.
He knows
all the details,
the minute things.
Allah is all aware. Allah knows
Allah knows
the blink of the eye. Allah knows
the raise of the eyebrow.
Allah knows
the nod of the head. Allah knows the
smile. Allah knows all that.
All that. You know?
Khabeer.
Nothing is hidden from Allah.
Really, the Allah is aware of all what
they do.
All what they do.
And then the eye to follow Allah does
the woman.
Listen to this, my dear sisters.
Tell
the believing woman
to know what they're engaged. You don't look
at men.
He's talking to them. He's giving the,
talk, and all the eyes are on him.
He's cute, isn't he?
He's cute.
He's nice.
That's how they talk.
And some,
mhmm, double quote,
callers,
k, they try to entertain them
entertain them
by cracking jokes and stuff like that
to melt the eyes.
So you should not look at men
You'd lower your gaze.
The Sahabiya, when she saw
her husband walking
with a group of men,
and then the
the contacts happened
before she was okay
with her husband.
But now she is comparing him with those
around him.
Something happened to her heart.
Her heart now, Finch,
turned away. She's
she doesn't love him anymore.
But and she was pious.
But what caused that thing to happen to
her when she saw her husband
among other men?
Before, she only sees her husband,
but now something happened to her,
and she is pious.
So she said, I hate after
iman,
which means
to be ungrateful to you. I cannot be
a good wife
because the heart is not there.
So the
and this is the evidence of the.
Will you are you ready to give him
his garden
that he gave it to the text?
K?
So if you are looking at men who
are more handsome than your husband,
you are inviting troubles
inviting
troubles. The same thing if a man is
making
always looking at women,
he will never be satisfied.
He will never be.
But
if
he
lowers his gaze, he will be
on the safe side, and he will be
happy with his wife.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is protecting everyone,
protecting the men from the women,
and protecting the women from the men.
Imagine a community when a man sees a
woman,
but he puts his head down.
Believe me, nowadays,
when you pass by a woman and you
put your head down, they start giggling.
Why he put his head down?
And they mentioned this is story to you
before
of this brother. He's, I think, from Morocco
in in America.
This is story mentioned by Sheikh
Mohammed Hassan.
He
said because he used to go
for dawah.
And this brother, whenever the Sheikh is there,
he's have a Quran, so he would ask
the Sheikh to listen to him.
So in one in one of these trips,
the chef asked, where did so and so?
He's known.
So they said the brothers started smiling, and
they said, oh,
so and so.
That way,
He's very rich, and
we can hardly see.
And they told him the story.
This brother
was in the elevator of the lift,
and then young woman entered.
And she saw this brother with beard.
Okay. He was frightened.
But to her surprise,
he put his head down, and he didn't
look at her.
So when he reached the floor, which he
wanted, he came out. She came
after him, and she followed him.
And she told him,
am I ugly?
Am I ugly?
Said, I don't know whether you are ugly.
Well, he's headed down. I don't know whether
you are ugly or not. Say, why didn't
you you look at me? He said, why
should I?
My faith tells me not to look at
woman.
Said, what faith? Said, I'm a Muslim,
and my faith, my deen, my religion tells
me not to look at women.
She said,
I want to know about your faith.
To cut the story story short,
they went to the center.
They explained to her. She became Muslim.
And this happened, this girl
that her father died and
she was the only the sole inheritor,
and she inherited
a lot
of wealth.
So Allah blessed him with the rich woman
and became a Muslimer
and pious, masha'Allah, because she became Muslimer,
because this is the barakah of
lowering
one's case.
So
if we lower
everyone lowers his gaze,
her
gaze, you will have peaceful life,
happy life.
Tell the believing woman to lower their case.
And to protect their private parts.
And we conclude with this hadith, which is
The meaning.
Reported,
Allah's messenger
said
said, Allah has decreed for man his potion
of fornication,
which he will inevitably
commit.
The fornication of the eye consists in looking
and of the tongue and speech.
The soul wishes and desires, and the private
parts,
a code with that,
are rejected.
In the version of Muslim, he said,
man's share of fornication,
which he will inevitably
commit,
is decreed for him.
The fornication of the eyes
consists in looking
of the ears
and hearing of the tongue in speech,
of the hand in violence,
and of the foot in walking.
The heart lusts and wishes,
and the private parts are called
with that,
a proof of that,
or reject it.
So this hadith
sums up everything.
That all these organs, the.
I am
by looking at the.
Now I think you understand why
for the actualizing
the ranks of is very essential because, basically,
if you apply the 5 rulings for every
one of the 5 senses,
you will be far away from this.
So this is the haram look. You look
at the haram.
There's fornicator of the tongue.
You talk evil,
the backbite, the slander.
And
the nafs,
the heart,
the soul
wishes
has this
inclination
and desires
and the private parts, either accord
or reject,
approve or disapprove.
And this is what happened to every human
being.
This the sudden look,
the abstract look
where you lower your case.
So you need
every one of us, we need
to safeguard
and protect
our 5 senses
from
watching the Haram
and indulge
into.
May
Allah purify our heart, your heart. May Allah
protect us. May Allah
fill our hearts with the iman and.
And may Allah
keep us remain steadfast.
On this beautiful deed, the dean of Al
Islam,
until we meet him,
find him pleased with all of us.
May
Allah overlook our faults and mistakes and ignorance,
and may Allah
unite
our and may Allah unite our
and may Allah unite our hearts in the
and may Allah reward all of you whom
with your brothers and sisters immensely for your
patience and attendance.
The beautiful lecture and lesson.
By the grace of, Sheikh Salim, if we
can take some questions. Yes.
The format's just the same. If you wish
to ask your question verbally, then raise your
hand, please.
If not, then you can send your,
question through the text.
And
when you're ready, share.
Okay. The first question is, what is the
difference between a Mufti,
Ustad,
Sheikh,
and Imam?
What is the difference between
Mufti?
Yes.
Okay. And email.
Yes. Okay.
Okay.
Share and email.
Actually,
these are,
a stud means teacher.
Stud means teacher.
Share
in the
religious context, it means,
learned man. Okay. Learned man who knows the
deen, and he is teaching it.
Imam
has various meanings.
It can mean the leader, which means the
ruler.
It can also means
imam,
which means
a scholar
who has reached the highest level
of scholarship
like Imam Malik, Imam Ahmed, Imam Abu Hanifa,
Imam Shafi, Imam Bukhari,
etcetera.
For the time, the leader of the salah
and the masjid.
Okay? And you can be
imam. You can be imam of the masjid,
and you can be shared
scholar, and you can be also a teacher
of staff.
K?
So these are
different
terms can be used inter interchangeably,
but sometimes they
the people, they use them in a specific
way.
They mean he's a teacher,
a staff,
or he's a shayl. That means higher level.
And he is the imam of.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
They will let me know.
If the menses of a woman stops flowing
and she sees her purity
before Maghreb,
should she pray be both and
Assar before this time, or should she only
pray Assar?
What time do you saw the sign of
purity?
Just before Maghreb.
Okay. Before Maghreb,
she has to rush and take a shower
to catch the
Prayer.
Should you should should she pray as well?
Some of the
scholars and some of the schools,
schools, they say that
because they consider that
these 2 prayers can be combined. So
she has to pray and Asur. But this
is weak opinion,
and it has no
evidence to support it. Because
she will not be held accountable to pay
the because
when,
at time, she was not in state of.
Also, yes, because now she is clean,
so she has to take a shower and,
try to play the. So only the.
That prayer,
which
is due
when she is in the state
of the moment
that her message has stopped and the time
still
available, that means within the time of that
prayer,
which is like here before Maghreb
and the sufficient time.
So she has to take a shower and
play the asshole only. The asshole.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes. And and, Charlotte, it was clear to
all the other sisters who benefited from it.
Is zakat
due on an individual
who has
halal shares
in an Islamic bank
or a corporate society
that is up to the nisab,
but has
financial debt that he is servicing? I think
servicing here means paying back.
In summary,
is the card due on a person
who is owing
even though he has shares
somewhere else?
The
when
the
when you possess
the
and one lunar year
passed over, elapsed,
you have to
calculate
what you have, whether it is cash
or in the or shares
shares according to the the price and the
market,
and you have to give 2.5%.
Even if you have debts,
you cannot
deduct the debts
and then give the account the remainder. First
of all, give
the give the
the total.
Is this clear to the questioner?
And Inshallah. Yes.
Can a woman join her hair
with her real hair,
what she she had cut and kept for
some time? Okay. That means she cut her
hair
but didn't throw it away.
Then,
they they put,
braiding
to to take that hair and put it
back onto her own hair.
It's old hair being joined onto her
other hair.
Okay. So she
she cut her own hair Yes. And kept
it, and then later on, she put it
back? Yes. And and to a breed.
It's called a weave.
Yeah.
Mhmm.
You see,
the,
the,
the hadith of the said.
Okay? Okay.
Which means
women, they add
other hair
to their hair.
Now the only difference it is her own
hair.
K?
My advice for her not to do this,
and you should not. Once you cut your
hair, you throw it. Why are you keeping
it?
Next.
Assalamu alaikum. When someone gets
major sin and sought forgiveness
and when Allah forgives them,
during the day of judgment, will the forgiven
sin
be presented to him again?
See, this is the the beauty
that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala,
when he forgives, he forgives,
and he doesn't ask you
for
accountability.
That is why
he's.
He covers it.
He forgive it,
and he covers it.
And once he forgiving you,
he covers it.
So think of the new ones.
The sins that he had forgiven,
Allah
forgiven. Gone.
K?
And he covered them.
And
on the day of resurrection,
what he does with
the believers,
he just make them to confess
to confess that's it.
You have done this. You have done that.
It doesn't take them throughout
all
the records of these sins.
And the slave would say, yes, my lord.
Say, okay.
I have covered them,
in the duniya.
People, they didn't know that you committed this
sins,
and they forgive I am forgiving them
today. Well,
That's why this is so
merciful, so kind.
Our problem that we don't know him.
Had we known Allah,
k, who loves us more than our mothers,
we will worship him all the time.
May Allah
gives us
this strength to worship him.
May Allah
forgive us our shortcomings.
Amen.
Next question, please.
Amen.
What is our greatest enemy,
shaitan
or our mess?
No doubt the shaitan is the greatest enemy,
and he is using the the is
one of his agents,
one of his
tools that he used against us.
But the open enemy
and the
real enemy is the shaitan,
And he's
he uses
all
the the
different tools. He use the human beings. He
uses
the nuts,
to
trigger
and to decide this which commands you to
commit evil.
So all the things, the mastermind
is the
because he took upon himself
to mislead all the children
of Adam alaihis salaam.
So we have to be very careful
as Allah said.
So verily,
Satan
is your an open enemy, so take him
as an enemy.
K. So we need to be very careful,
and we should not listen
to his whispers.
And always
be in state of the and Stilfaire. Because
if you are in the state of and
Stilfaire,
he will be far away from you.
The only time he would come and start
to wish make and
to whisper
when you stop the.
So keep always yourself
engaged in.
That's how you will be
protected,
and you'll have this shield around you
from
its harm and his harm.
Is this clear to the questioner?
What does it mean that it is disliked
to ask too many questions in religion?
That is at the time of the revelation,
at the time of the prophet.
It's not recommended to ask about things that
Allah didn't make haram,
then the revelation comes down and makes it
haram because of your question.
So that's at the time of the.
It doesn't mean that you don't ask many
question to learn your deen. No. It's totally
different.
Is this clear? Because many people, they are
they misunderstand
this hadith,
and they quote it out of context.
Is this clear?
Yes, Sheikh.
Dear Sheikh, we are so much pleased with
your teachings. May Allah be pleased with you,
Amin.
How can a Muslim man contact a woman
who is still in her?
It's haram to
to approach a woman and to propose to
her when she is in the
waiting period.
That's not allowed
to talk to her explicitly
or send a message clearly.
Insenuating,
hinting that is different.
But, explicitly,
we are not allowed to do that. A
Muslim cannot do that.
You can propose to a woman
when her Ida is over.
Is this clear?
Yes. Yeah. Very clear.
Can a woman retouch,
perm her hair with relaxer?
Well, I would say that's,
perm means, like, to curl your hair and
then a relaxer is to straighten your hair.
Okay.
So there are 2 questions here. The highlighting,
different colors. I don't know why women, they
do do that.
Because,
again, because this is the fashion.
K.
Keep your hair as it is.
K.
That is the color of your hair.
K. But now if a woman just oh,
okay. Okay.
She changed the color of her hair.
Is that okay?
That is okay, providing she's not
imitating the careful woman,
because she can change the color by her
hair as well.
But these things and
materials they use, they are chemicals, actually chemicals.
In chemicals, they affect your hair.
They affect your hair.
So why you should you go for all
that trouble?
K?
Regarding the same thing of relaxing it.
These are chemicals they use.
Is it haram? No. We cannot say it
is haram.
Is it something,
recommended?
Now what is recommended? To use things natural.
So always use natural things.
Try to avoid the chemicals
because they affect your head. They affect the
the the skin
of the head,
scalp,
so avoid the chemicals.
This is my advice for you.
Next,
is it clear to the questioner?
Yes. Is it permissible to look at a
woman if someone is walking in the road
and he is still searching to marry
a woman?
No.
You lower your gaze.
That's what I've been talking today.
Okay.
If you want to marry this woman,
okay. Go through the proper channel.
You know her family. You know their house.
Go, and then you are allowed to look
at her
to look at her.
Or if you are really sincere,
okay,
very sincere,
and you saw her and you looked at
her without her knowing.
And Allah knows your intention.
And then
you go to her family
as
one of the
Sahaba.
I
think
I remember his name. So when he
wanted to marry a woman,
with Aina,
the daughter of Bahad,
I think
or something,
He
climbed a tree to look at her.
And when the
saw him doing that, he said, why shouldn't
I?
Because the prophet said, if
you have feeling towards a woman you want
to marry her,
then you can look at her.
K?
And Allah knows what is in your heart,
whether you are sincere or not. If you
are not sincere and you look because you
want to see her, to marry her,
that's okay.
But if you looked at her just to
satisfy your
desire,
it is halal,
and Allah knows what is there in your
heart.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes, Sheikh. And that was our last,
question. So if you'd like to
Okay. So this brings us to the end
of today's talk. May Allah
protect you, preserve you, and your family. May
Allah
elevate your status
in this world and in.
May Allah
keep us to remain steadfast in this beautiful
deen.
May Allah bless us with the beneficial knowledge
and the handwriting of deeds.
And may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters immensely
for your patience
and attendance.
Until we meet in
the coming session,
I leave you
in Allah's company
and protection.
