How are you, Sheikh?
We are ready inshallah if you are.
I'm ready. I'm sorry for being late.
No. No. No. No need for apologies, Sheikh.
We can begin if you are ready, Insha'Allah.
I'm ready,
Okay. Let us begin.
Brothers and sisters.
And welcome to our weekly of
virtues of Islam.
Now,
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam.
Today is our weekly class,
Issues related
to Yahiliyyah,
aspects of the life of Yahiliyyah,
and how
Islam
corrects such
aspects
or such beliefs
of the Yahili
people.
In the last session, we talked about the
evil consequences
of Yahiliya.
And by
now, the concept of Jahiliya should
should be clear in the mind of each
one of you.
It is that state of mind,
that condition
when you are disconnected
from
the communication
with the creator.
When you become distant from his divine guidance,
from his revelation,
when you reject his revelation,
when you decide not to abide by his
revelation,
when you decide to run your mundane
affairs according to your whims and desires
and what you think
is
most suitable for you.
So any person
who is in that state, then he is
in a state of jahiliya.
And Jahiliyyah
can be absolute Jahiliyyah Jahiliyyah
and the relevant one.
So after Islam, there's no absolute Jahiliyyah
in the among the Muslims.
There will never be an absolute Jahiliya
because of some Muslims will remain, and this
is the,
the successful
and the victorious sect.
But there will be Jahiliya
here and there
either in small on small scale individuals, etcetera.
But among the kuffar, there is absolute Jahiliya
because they are far away
from the divine guidance.
But among the Muslims,
we cannot say all the Muslims
are in Jahiliya.
No. That's not correct.
There's no absolute Jahiliya after the advent of
Islam, after the message of Muhammad
because that is
So there will be
There will be people on the.
So then the Jahiliya will be just relatives.
K.
But among
the,
there are absolutely in total Jahiliyyah, similar to
the Jahiliyyah
before Islam, and it is indeed worse.
So we have to keep this in mind.
So
the consequences,
once you the
connection
with your creator
and you decide not to follow his guidance,
then
the consequences
are
dreadful.
Indeed, they are.
And
when we look today and see
the suffering of humanity
because of this
cutting
of the robe and the connection
with the with their creator.
So they are living in this this
miserable life
Because once
because man by nature is a worshiper.
That is the nature of man.
So when you try to make
a human being just like a machine,
like a robot,
then
that is misery.
So this human being would be suffering
because a human being cannot provide for another
human being
what he does not have, what he does
not possess,
and
that
is the iman and the food and the
nutrition,
spiritual food for the soul
because we don't know
its nature.
So we don't know what will
satisfy the soul. There's only one thing that
satisfies the soul, and it is the connection
with Allah,
the.
That way, you will feel this peace
and serenity,
and your life becomes balanced.
So
when man
becomes so distant from his creator,
then indeed he lives in misery
total
sadness,
unhappiness,
continuous suffering.
Because that's what Allah said.
Believe my guidance
guidance,
then bear the consequences because this is what
is going to happen to you.
So let us proceed.
Remember in the last session,
The
pharaoh. The my
dear brothers and sisters, indeed.
He
is so patient with us,
forbearing.
Just imagine
your own creature,
the one you created,
he challenges you.
He rebels against you.
He disobeys you.
And he think that you cannot do anything
to him
due to his ignorance. But Allah
he knows.
He knows the weakness of the human being.
He knows his arrogance.
So he gives the human being a chance.
Perhaps he will come to his senses
and repent and come back to him.
And then he forgives him
despite,
oh, the horrible things he said and he
did.
The
pharaoh,
this king of Egypt.
Allah
sent him
2 of his messengers,
not one.
Musa and Harun.
Musa and Harun.
And he
instructed them and he told them,
he transgressed the limits.
He crossed the limits.
He be nice to him. Be
be nice when you talk to him.
Choose your words carefully.
Be soft in your speech. Lay in lenient.
Perhaps perhaps
he
comes back to his senses
to wake
up
from that state of
intoxication,
not because of the liquor, because of the
power.
Yes. The power intoxicates.
Yes.
Power intoxicates.
And there are many like around today. I'm
intoxicated
by power.
Intoxicated.
So the the power intoxicates.
And this human being, he forgets
that there is one who is more powerful
than
who controls
this kingdom,
Who controls
the whole earth?
Who can tell the earth, open and swallow
all the nuclear heads? Swallow it. Take it
inside.
Take it to your center.
Allah,
he's the one who runs his kingdom,
and he gives
the tyrant,
dictators
long globe
to hang themselves with it.
So this Firaun,
Allah sent him 2 of his prophets,
came to him.
Musa talked to him,
showed him the science, showed him the medicals.
He was intoxicated.
He didn't see.
He was blind.
Oh, this is great magic.
He's a great magician.
And he gathered all his magicians, as you
know,
to defeat
Musa alaihis salaam, to challenge Musa alaihis salaam.
He even
went to the extent that he want to
see Allah
because Musa told him,
my lord, I worship is the one who's
in heaven. He said, okay. We'll see you,
lord.
O Haman, construct for me a high building
so I want to climb and see
the load of Moses,
and I think Moses is flying.
So they see, my dear brothers and sisters,
what the shaitan does to the human being.
He takes you step by step, step by
step, step by step until
he makes sure that the you will not
go back.
You will not go back.
That's what he wants. He wants you the
the human being to die upon the kufar.
That is the target of Iblis.
His target not for you to sin. No.
Sin is only the beginning
to pull your leg. But then even when
you start sinning
from he takes you from one sin to
another sin, so you are promoting.
Okay? From one sin to another sin, bigger
sin, bigger sin, bigger sin, and then until
you reach the.
Once you reach the,
he tries his level best to keep you
there, not to go back
until you die upon the. And that's what
the shaitan did to Farahun.
He
saw all the signs.
He saw the
the staff and the
cane and the stick of Moses turned into
a servant,
swallowed everything.
The magician's frustrated,
believed
that didn't move him.
He didn't wake up.
And Allah,
as you know, told Musa to take
at night.
Leave Egypt.
And he was followed.
Because Ben Ussalay, they were
under his eye,
supervised,
watched.
So the news reached him, so he followed
them with these troops, as you know. And
before that, you know, what he said to
the Egyptians,
Okay. He gathered the
the subjects,
addressed the nation,
and he said,
I am your supreme lord.
I am your supreme lord,
the most high one.
And you know what happened to him, and
he was.
So listen now to him as Allah said
in Surat al Jukaruf 51.
And how he fooled
he fooled
his people,
his subjects,
his nation.
See how
he fools his people
as if he is the one
who made these things
under his control,
under his way, under his
made themselves subservient
to him.
And pharaoh called
out to his people,
boasting,
oh, my people,
am I not sovereign
sovereign
over Egypt
as well as all these
streams flowing at my feet?
Can you not see?
So what he's trying to say, I'm entitled
to be
your god,
to be worshiped,
to be obeyed absolutely,
not to be questioned.
Don't you
see? So he is calling them,
boasting.
All my people, am I not
suffering over Egypt? Am I not
having this kingdom
of Egypt,
and
the king,
the kingdom
belongs to me exclusively.
See the streams
and the different
branches of the Nile
are flowing
beneath me at my feet.
Can't you see?
Can you not see
that I deserve to be
your god
to be worshipped?
This how he
brainwashed the masses.
This how he programmed them.
This how he fooled them.
As
Allah said,
50
4.
And
so he fought his people,
and they obeyed him.
They were truly a rebellious people,
wicked people,
evil people.
See?
There is a saying that said, who made?
What does it mean?
What made Veron become so rebellious,
so arrogant, they said Haman,
his minister,
because he facilitates everything for him.
He nods his head all the time.
His advisers,
those around him,
they made him
become a dictator
and a child.
Because no one says, no.
This is wrong.
All are saying, yes, sir. You are right.
And they praise him.
The beauty of Islam.
Sayyidina Abu Bakr Siddiq when he became the
Khalifa,
and he
gave his first speech.
He asked the people,
and he told them,
if you see me,
divert.
If you see me, drift.
Bring me back.
If you see any crookedness in my behavior,
straighten me. Bring me back. Place me on
the right track.
That's what the Khalifa say. This is our
Islam.
Bring me back.
Sahaba told him,
if we we see any crookedness,
we will connect it with our souls.
Don't worry.
We'll bring you
back. We'll bring you back.
This is our
Islam.
When he became Khalifa,
one day he was addressing the Sahaba, the
Muslims.
1 of the Sahaba stood up,
and he said,
we will not hear and we will not
obey
until you explain to us
how did you get that
garment
which you wear,
that attire. How did you get it?
We know that when
the booties
were distributed, the spoils were distributed.
Each one of us got a one piece
of cloth, and you got one. And we
know you are tall.
So one is not enough for you.
So it will not cover all
your body.
So where did you get that additional
piece of cloth? Where did you get it
from? Oh, Amir
al
Mumini.
Said Nama said,
is there Abdul Lab Nama here?
Said, yes. Said, explain to them.
He said, I gave my piece of cloth
to my father so he can stitch the
2 together
for himself.
So that additional piece of cloth,
it was his son.
Then the Sahabi said, now
command,
and we will obey
and we will obey.
This is
our
So he fooled his people. He fooled
them by telling them,
I have the kingdom of Egypt.
These dreams are flowing
at my feet.
Don't you see?
I said, yes. Yes. Yes.
So he fooled them.
So they were not
thinking
and reasoning
and arguing
and correcting him,
telling him no.
This is wrong.
Said,
He considered them they are fools.
Anything I say, they would say yes.
Nodding
heads. Nodding heads. Once I read, I think,
one of the American
president, he said, I don't want nodding heads
with me in my cabinet. Nodding heads.
Always nodding their heads. I don't want that.
I want people who will tell me when
I'm wrong. You are wrong.
Not always.
You are nodding your head.
And so he fooled his people,
and they obeyed him.
Whatever you say,
we will obey you.
See how Allah rebuked them?
See our problems that we don't reflect when
we are reading the book of Allah.
So here Allah
is saying
that he fooled his people.
He disrespect
disrespected
them.
He treated them as fools.
And they obeyed him.
And so he fooled his people, and they
obeyed him.
Then Allah described them and gave them this
description
which they deserve.
Fascinating.
That's why they obeyed.
See
the person
who wants
to be successful.
Surround yourself
with people who are sincere,
wise,
loyal
so that
when you go around,
they correct you.
Once I read
1
in biography, one of the CEO
of a company,
They told him,
the staff around you, they are more intelligent
than you than you.
Don't you feel
that,
don't you feel
afraid of them, or you fear them because
they are more intelligent? They can outwit you,
etcetera.
He said, no. No. Not at all.
Not at all. They make me feel good
because I am strong
because of them.
Their strength is my strength.
I'm happy that they have strong men around
me.
Sincere,
intelligent,
loyal.
I'm happy.
So always,
you should be surrounded
by good peoples,
sincere people, loyal people.
Then you will prosper
and succeed in your life.
But if you surround yourself by weak,
disloyal,
dishonest,
they will bring you down.
They'll bring you down.
Read our history of Islam.
Sayedna Omar Ibn Khattab. He has a committee
of. Whenever he comes across an issue,
he calls this committee. Come. Help me.
Help me.
Strong men, learned men
of the Sahaba.
Islam.
Shbir.
Talha Ali.
Giants.
There's a big problem, you say. Where is
the father of Al Hasan?
Al Hasan,
Ali.
This big problem.
Needs Ali to resolve
it. So this is our iswa.
They said one of the reasons behind
the success
after Allah's grace, of course, as a cause,
The success of Omar Ibn Abdel Aziz who
ruled very short period of time,
and he managed within that short duration
to establish justice.
They said his adviser.
Who was his adviser?
Elijah of Nuhayawa.
Was always
with
him. And another adviser,
he's far away from him in Iraq,
but he communicates with him through correspondence
at.
Next to you, and the.
So you did Taberine.
Taberine.
Taberine, actually,
who was breastfed by.
The Christians, they come and sit in it
listening to him. They say when he talks,
he's like Jesus Christ.
So say, Nurmagdul
Haziz, Allah blessed him with the and.
So they are directing him.
So always
surround yourself
with
those
inner circles.
People
who fear Allah
They will not fear you. They will tell
you the truth. They will call a spade
a spade.
But surrounded
by
such gathering,
his inner circles.
Whatever he says, they say you are right.
Described
them.
They were truly
fascist,
rebellious,
wicked.
Because,
the,
you know, the meaning of?
Feshukah.
Actually, the meaning of feshukah,
when the date
is so alive, the date take piece of
date, so alive,
And it is on the tree or outside.
When it is sore ripe, the moment you
touch it,
the meat comes out of the shell. The
skin will remain in your hand, and the
meat will come out
easily.
The
the meat, the flesh of the date
will come out easily.
So that is called fasakaltal
balha.
It comes out of the shell of the
skin. So when a person
becomes fasid,
he comes out
of the shell of a deen, the shell
of Islam.
The framework of the
deen, he leaves it, and he comes out
of it. So he's
fascicle.
Fashion.
They were truly
wicked,
evil,
rebellious
people.
Then the to follow.
I
have 55.
Allah says.
Remember, brothers, we are talking about the evil
consequences of Jahiliya.
When you reject
Allah's guidance,
this what happens.
So when they enraged enraged
us,
made us angry,
we inflicted
punishment upon them,
drowning
them
all.
Oh, yes. Oh,
the whole entire
army
was.
Why?
Because they obeyed him.
Because they obeyed him.
So you obeyed him.
Now
taste
your medicine.
You'll receive what he receives.
This one throughout your life you are working
in,
obeying him.
Whatever he says,
you follow,
So you will be with him.
That's why in our Islam, we don't have
this
blind obedience
and absolute obedience for human beings.
We don't have that.
There's no obedience for any human being.
And such obedience will
lead to the disobedience of Allah,
make you disobey Allah by obeying this
human being. You don't obey.
Your husband
asks you
to do something. Haram?
Sorry.
Ask your husband. Obey me. No?
There's no obedience here.
I will divorce you.
Do so.
But I will not do the haram.
So in isfah,
we hear and obey
within framework.
The moment
you are told to disobey Allah,
you say, sorry.
I cannot do it.
Obedience
regarding what is known, what is approved, and
sanctioned by
the law giver.
The moment you
command to do something Haram,
no obedience.
As long as you
command me to do what is right,
I hear and I obey.
That's what the prophet
mentioned in the hadith as you know.
And
he said,
Our prophet
delivered the speech that moved us,
touched our heart.
Our eyes went up with teeth.
Our
hearts
moved.
We say, oh, listen dear,
This speech
is a third world speech.
They're telling us
goodbye.
They're telling us that you are leaving us.
Us.
Then
advise us what to do.
After you.
He said,
I command you to fear
And you hear and obey.
Hearing and obedience.
You hear and obey.
He told them before that,
Abide by my and the of the
last night, caliph.
Who will come after me,
the guided caliph?
My. And beware and
avoid.
Be careful.
Be aware of invented matters in the dean.
Innovation's
bigger
because every innovation
is misguided, and every misguidance
leads to the fire.
And then he told them,
Obey.
He and obey.
If in your Amir is
an Abyssinian slave.
And he
rules
and judges and commands you to follow the
book of Allah. And the soonest the prophet,
you obey him.
Him. So
in Islam,
we hear and do a day. Yes. But
the moment you
ask me to do something,
Sorry.
No. No obedience.
See, even when we read the ayah,
So obey Allah and obey the messenger,
and he didn't say and obey those who
are
in power, those who are in authority, Ule
Amr, the rulers.
He did say and obey them in the
ayah.
He said,
which means
you obey those in authority, those in power
as long as they obey Allah and his
messenger.
The moment they ask you to disobey Allah
and disobey his messenger, you don't hear and
obey.
You don't hear and obey.
As long as they don't ask you to
do something against Allah,
what Allah says and it's, you hear and
okay.
1 hadith.
They were group of the Sahara called, a
group
of the Sahara on mission.
On the mission, the pop star. So let's
send that.
So there's
I mean, if
of this group,
he set fire,
And he told the those with him,
I am your I mean, they said yes.
And he said, you have to obey me.
They said yes.
Said I command you to enter the to
go and enter the file.
You
have to obey.
Some of them got up, and then they
started to think. They said,
the reason we became Muslim
is to run away from the fire, to
save ourselves from the fire, not to enter
the fire.
Said, no. We will not obey you.
This I mean,
actually was, I mean, joking. He had this
sense of humor with that. He's known of
that.
But see what the prophet tells him how
he commented on this
when he was told.
He said,
had they
listen to
this. Had they entered
the fire,
obeyed him,
they would not come out of it, which
means in Jahannam,
they will be in the hellfire there forever.
Because
they obeyed him
and disobeyed Allah.
So Allah didn't command you to go into
the fire.
And that's why in the hadith,
No one should
torture people and punish them by fire
except the lord
of the fire.
So he said, had they entered this fire,
they will not come out of it.
He's teaching us here, the prophet
that we are not blind followers.
We hear and obey
as long as we
are not told to disobey Allah and or
disobey His
But,
his people followed him,
obeyed him because they were.
They were wicked.
They were not pious. They were not.
See what he said about them in I
55.
So when they made us
angry,
when they
enraged
me us,
they made Allah angry
when Allah gets angry.
Who can avoid Allah's anger?
See, the prophets and messengers on the day
of resurrection
are suffering.
Say today,
our Lord gets angry
got angry.
So each prophet is praying.
Oh, Allah.
So Allah said, when they angered
us, they made us angry.
Allah
He punished them severely.
We inflected punishment upon them
because they deserve that.
Because they behaved like animals.
They did not use
the gift that Allah has given them.
They worshiped the human being like that
and obeyed him
absolutely,
unconditionally.
All of them.
All go.
This one that you worship,
this one who told you that he is
your
supreme lord, the most high, your god,
and you accepted that and you followed,
go with him.
So
they were
drowned.
Inflected punishment upon them, drowning
them.
Oh,
Remember the Hadith of the prophet.
Oh,
Whomever you love, you'll be with them.
So they left Farhawn,
drowned along with Farhawn.
When
this hadith, the prophet
said
to the Sahabi, because the Sahabi came and
said, oh,
I love many people,
but
my I cannot catch up with them. They
are ahead of me.
I love them.
But my deeds, I know myself.
So in the akhira,
if I enter the Yem, I'll be far
away.
So the prophet
told him,
You
will be with whomever you love.
Oh. Regoiced.
They rejoiced. They rejoiced. They're so happy
when they heard that hadith.
So the narrator said, I love Abu Bakr,
and I love Umar, and
I
love them. So I'll build
them
because
you
see,
Allah
is his.
And he is so generous.
And the Jenna is so vast and so
huge and so spacious.
Some people,
they don't want
others to enter, and they're Muslims.
Let them go to *.
No. No. No.
China is so big.
We want every human being to.
We want Allah to guide all of them.
That's why we are
taking this slide and making the call the
people
till he die
and praying for that he die.
And we pray for every Muslim to enter
the jannah.
So
you love the Sahaba. You'll be with the
Sahaba
if you are
sincere because Allah
watches our hearts.
So he sees this heart is
full of love
for the companions of the prophet
full of love for the prophet
Because remember, keep this in mind.
The actions of the heart and the acts
of the heart are more
to Allah than the actions of the limbs.
Yes.
The actions of the heart are more to
Allah because they are the most sincere acts
and actions.
So when you see this sincerity,
this love
for the prophet
and his companions,
he promotes you.
He elevates your status,
though your deeds do not entitle you for
that.
But out of his
grace
and mercy and generosity,
he promotes you
until he places you with them.
And if you love
the wicked, the evildoers,
you will be with them.
You choose.
Here, they laughed for They obeyed
for So they were drowned along with
Then Allah said,
the I 56 of the.
And we made them an example
and a lesson for those after them.
Have you posed have you ever posed when
you read this?
We made them an example and a lesson
for those after them
to deduce lessons.
Why did Allah
He mentioned the stories of the perished nation.
Why? For entertainment?
No.
To deduce lesson,
To learn.
Allah is telling us, see what happened to
them.
And if you follow their way, this what
will happen to you.
This is my law.
I mentioned these stories so that you
do not tread
on the same path.
But if you follow them,
you will receive the same punishment
because I am just.
I will not differentiate.
You
did exactly what they did.
You do exactly what they did.
You received the same punishment.
So we make them an example,
a lesson.
For whom?
For those after them, those who will come
after them,
They should always remember
what happened to Firaun
and to his people.
So we should not behave like them
lest we receive the same punishment
they received.
We should not behave like the people
flute.
When they became homosexuals.
Allah destroyed the whole town of Sodom.
So if you follow the the the way
and you practice these
such shameful deeds
and you make such
shameful
deeds
legal,
then get ready for the same punishment.
The one who destroyed Saddam
is alive.
Would
destroy
any town.
Not difficult for him.
Not difficult for Allah.
So when we are reading the Quran and
reading
the
we read the stories of the perished nations,
We need to deduce lessons.
These are
reminders,
constant reminders
throughout the Quran.
To tell us.
Don't forget
what happened to them, what happened to you,
if you follow them and follow their way.
So we made them an example and a
lesson for those after them.
After them.
Those who will come after them.
Those who will come after them.
He drowned all of them, all entire army.
The sea
swallowed them.
Was drowning.
Jibril
was getting the mud.
Jibril hates
hates him.
So he
was taking the mud from the
the seabed,
taking the mud
and starving
him,
putting it as well.
You are the supreme lord. Taste now. Taste.
And he refused to say.
He was arrogant until the last minute.
So Allah said,
today, I will deliver your body. I will
save your body.
Your body
will not be eaten by the sharks.
You'll be thrown out on the shore
so that you'll be assigned and the token
for
all the pharaohs in the pipeline.
Your body will be preserved
for all the pharaohs who will come after
you.
So when they see you, they should
induce lesson.
And if they decide
to carry on following your way,
they will receive the same reward.
So I'm saving your body
for them to receive admonition,
to be reminded.
Take
another
example.
Another group of Jahiliyyah,
another group who rejected
Allah's guidance
and became arrogant,
The people of Samud.
And the moon who carved
carved
their homes into the rocks in the stone
valley.
Their dwellings inside the mountain.
Can you imagine their physical
strength?
Their prophet
told them,
this is the sheikhamal of Allah.
No one should harm it.
The water,
one day for you, one day for the
Sheikhamal
to drink.
So you don't fetch water when that is
the day for the shikamal.
You drink milk.
This shikamal
provides for milk sufficient for all of them.
So drink milk.
They became rebellious.
They said, no.
They refused.
So they hamstrung
the chicken.
Armstrong, the kicker. What happened to that?
They were killed
by this tremendous
sound.
Scream
to a wiped out.
Their dwellings
remain intact. Their utensils,
their things remain intact.
Food remained intact.
The pass
by their dwellings.
He passed quickly.
The dwellings of Saleh.
And he told the Sahara, don't touch anything.
The food
even don't give the food to the animals
or the water, don't fetch water.
Quickly pass.
That's what happened to them.
Allah said here,
See, the
West sophisticated
in technology,
and the pharaoh of mighty structures,
the pyramids, and the like.
And will be light.
This what happened.
See,
man
without
divine guidance
is lost,
so he becomes arrogant,
transgressor,
tyrant,
greedy,
has no mercy,
selfish,
name it.
Because what will
make you a real human being
is when you are connected with your creator,
and you are following this divine guidance
that tells you,
see Allah,
be kind to the people,
don't be elegant,
don't anyone,
be merciful,
all these things.
Look. You don't have these things, and you
as you say,
just this life,
no life after death. There's no god. So
let me just enjoy my life
the way I like.
So when Allah here is
describing and
Samud, he said,
after
he mentioned,
he said,
They are all transgressed throughout the land.
Transgressed.
They crossed the
limits.
Fazad
Fazad spreading much corruption there.
And see the corruption in the modern Jahiliya.
More the corruption that happened before.
Corruption today, you cannot imagine.
Cannot imagine.
People are
no divine guidance,
rejecting
anything divine.
We are secular.
We don't accept
God
to interfere in our life,
to rule us, to abide by his law.
Religion is a is a personal
relationship
between you. You okay? You want to worship,
go to the church, and go to the
mosque here.
That's.
But don't bring religion to the market,
to the public domain,
to the life of the people.
Don't say God says this. God said that.
No.
God has nothing to do with what we
are doing.
We don't want.
They all transgressed
throughout the the land.
This is the fruit of the Jahiliyyah.
No guidance. No divine guidance.
No limits. No limits.
Free.
That's what they say. You are free. I
think free. Free. Do whatever you like.
So
this spreads corruption.
Because the moment you cross the limits, corruption.
There should be limits
because your freedom
has to be limited
because then you will
interfere
in in in what belongs to me. That's
why they say your freedom
ends where my freedom begins,
so there are limits.
It does say I'm free.
I will cross the traffic light. When it
is red, I'm free,
so you will kill somebody else.
You don't say that.
You're not free.
There are limits. You have to live within
the limits. You cannot come and take my
poverty and say I'm free. No. You're not
free.
Otherwise, there will be chaos.
Chaos.
So that's why there are government. That's why
there are rules. That's why.
To stop this chaos.
That's the Rufiyal Fassad.
So the evil fruit of Jahiliyah is corruption,
moral corruption,
corruption in everything.
People are dishonest,
morally decayed.
Name it.
Has appeared
And the sea and land
find corruption everywhere,
facade everywhere.
Islands in the middle of the oceans, facade
there.
* there.
Has a facade spreading much corruption there.
See Allah's law.
Why not let the people do whatever they
want?
He give them chance,
but there is a limit.
After that,
he hits.
He hits.
Once he hits,
no one
can endure his
punishment. See the flute
of the corruption? What happened?
So your load
unleashed
unleashed unleashed
on them a scourge of punishment
scourge of punishment.
So your lord unleashed
on them
a scourge of punishment.
Allah poured on them
poured on them.
Severe
punishment.
And here,
I want to pause a bit.
The fact the fact under with underline.
Fa here is have akt
connector connector,
like and,
au, fa.
The fa
in Arabic,
it connects 2 actions.
The second action happened immediately after the first
one. Immediately.
This actually happened the next happened after it,
immediately.
For example,
I knocked the door, and it was opened.
The moment I knocked, it was opened
immediately.
So here, Allah
say,
so when the facade corruption became widespread,
immediately
the lash came.
Allah lashed them.
Allah poured
over them,
his anger.
He punched them severely, immediately.
Far for somebody.
So far that so your load
unleashed
on them.
Scourge of punishment,
painful punishment
because of their
corruption,
and that is the evil fruit of Jahilia.
The evil fruit of Jahilia.
May
Allah save us from all types of evils.
And may Allah save us from going astray.
And may Allah
keep us to remain
steadfast
in this beautiful day
until we meet Allah
and find him please with all of
us. May Allah
guide
our may Allah unite our hearts.
And may Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge
and righteous deeds. And
may Allah reward all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters,
immensely for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, we will now start the
question and answers time. Please send in your
questions first if you would like us to,
address them in this session.
We have received some questions already. We will
start with those.
Is
it haram if a Muslim does not do
some acts of worship or rushes through them
in order to say the prescribed,
I e, the morning and evening at the
so that they, Insha Allah, will be protected
from the jinns and other harm.
I didn't get the question.
Is it harm if a Muslim does not
do some acts of worship
or rushes through them
in order to say the prescribed dhikr
so that they, inshallah, will be protected from
the
jinns and other harm. So he is engage
he or she is engaged in dhikr,
So they are not able to do other
types of rebada because they are busy and
engaged in.
So are they simple or not? Because they
are also missing
doing other acts of worship.
That's the question. I I believe that's the
question, Sheikh. Yes.
Okay.
If you are engaged in Ibadan,
okay,
because Ibadan, no doubt,
And, yeah, you are not missing something,
far obligatory.
It is just also another type of
which is nafel as well.
In the hadith,
which means
Because of my,
he is busy not to ask to make
dua to ask me. Because of he is
engaged in,
reading hadith. That is. All these are because
some people, they limit the meaning of
only to the istirfar and takbir and tahleel,
etcetera.
Then Allah says that I will give him
what I give those who supplicate and go
those who ask me because I know he's
busy in Ibadah.
And when it comes to the and
that
I'm not obligatory,
here, a person
can, I mean, diversify or can
sometimes do this, sometimes do that according to
what he feels
he loves to do right now? For example,
I feel I want to read the Quran,
not to, to to pray at night, for
example.
So you are reading the Quran, or you
feel now I feel
I need to get up and pray.
So do what you feel, and your heart
is ready for it.
You want to pray? Get up and pray.
You want to read Quran?
Read Quran. You want to sit down and
make a staghfir and tahili? Do that.
And you are always in a state of
Ibadah and dikr.
So if now you are engaged in dikr
and making staghfir on this,
and they're searching nothing about that, other about
that because you are busy, you cannot do
them. No. You are not sinful at all.
You will be sinful if you miss what
is found. That's it.
That's it. Nothing else.
Any person
who, maintains the far, and he just misses
something
additional, something,
recommended,
mandu.
He's not sinful
because remember the hadith of the bad one
who came to the prophet when he asked
him,
tell me what is obligatory upon me, what
is imposed upon me? He told him after
the Shahad al Tayyid. Said, 5 prayers.
Said, any more.
He said, if
you want to add more. He said, no.
I don't want to add any more.
Just the 5 prayers.
Then Farrah Ramadan, anymore if you want
additional. Neville said, no. No. I don't want.
Hide once
anymore
if you want, if you like.
To
have additional,
you can do that. He said no.
Then he said
towards the end of the hadith,
I will not add
anything to it or reduce anything of it.
But what I said,
the prophet
said,
He succeeded.
He prospered.
He succeeded.
If he is truthful
that he will maintain these things.
So this is what is found.
Anything else,
you will not be held accountable,
and you are not sinful.
But no doubt, all
the
are
highly recommended because,
for example, the salah,
someone
who misses the
the sunan Rawatib,
he
misses a palace in the Jannah.
And on top of that,
if the on the day of resurrection,
if your salah is deficient,
they look, they have no offer, so this
deficiency can be
fixed.
This gap can be filled.
If you don't have no offer,
you'll be in bad shape.
So coming, answering the question of the questioner,
that's because you are engaged in Ibadah, so
you cannot do 2 Ibadah, same 10 years
ago at the same time. You are not
sinful. You are not sinful. And as I
mentioned in the hadith, because we are busy
with another.
I hope this answered the question
of the questioner.
I hope it is clear to him or
her. So that is clear, Sheikh. We go
to the next question.
Sheikh.
Number 1,
if Farsid is not Muslim at all, if
I understand that correct? Question mark. No. He's
a Muslim.
Farsid is a Muslim.
Yes. He he
he's rebellious.
He came out like the date came out,
but he didn't come out out of the
fault of Islam.
K? So the
can be and can be less than that.
So when we are talking about the Muslim,
that's why a sinner, a Muslim who commit
sin,
he's not. He's a
he's a.
That means he is not abiding by the
law of the sharia.
Sharia tells him, don't drink alcohol. He's alcohol
alcoholic, and he drinks alcohol.
So he's fasid, but not kafir.
Still within the fault of Islam. That's why
the punishment of someone who drinks alcohol is
to be lashed,
not to be killed because if he's a
kafir, he should be killed.
But the prophet said whoever changes his deed
should kill him.
The one who commits adultery,
and he's not married
to be left, not to be killed.
The one who commits and this is fiscal
fiscal
because this is not what the sharia you
you you came out from what the sharia
says.
You're not abiding by what the the sharia
says.
The one who commits theft,
the same thing, and his
punishment not
capital punishment that you his hand to be
chopped off, etcetera.
So the fist
is not kufar.
So the Muslim,
he when he becomes fashid, and he's still
within the fold of the swamp.
And it can be, as Allah described, the
the people of Faraun, that they are fashipping
and they are Kaverin at the same time.
But
the first
has the shade of
moral
decay.
They were immoral,
corrupted people.
But when you are talking about the Muslim
who's a sinner, you find in the the
fuqaha and the ulama, they say, fashat. He
is a fashat, not kafar.
And that that's why the belief of Ahlus
Sunnah,
we do not consider someone a Muslim
who commits a major sin or the perpetrator
of major sins, kaba'il, as kafir.
They are sinners.
They are. They are. They they they give
the title. He is.
And his testimony, for example, will not be
accepted in the court,
but
they he's not a. That means when he
dies,
we give him burial wars.
We bury him
and perform Janaza,
bury him in the Muslim cemetery. His wife
goes through the.
They his wealth will be divided
among the Arabs, all these things,
though he was fashionable.
So you have to differentiate
and understand correctly. So,
not everyone who commits a major sin, for
example,
who's
who's a,
that means he's a.
He's still
within the fault of Islam, and we have
many, many.
We have Abu Mahdi Safavid, who was alcoholic,
and many time,
the pop
lost him.
K? And,
Abdullah, who was also called Hima,
was alcoholic.
And many times, the
prophet asked him. And one day, one of
the Sahaba cursed
him, said, how often
and frequent
frequent
he's lashed.
May Allah curse him. He said the don't
curse
him. Don't curse him.
Yes. This alcoholic,
he loves a lot and he loves such
messenger. And this is shahada, a testimony from
the prophet.
He testified that this alcoholic,
you we lash him.
He loves Allah,
and he loves his mission.
No? Drinking alcohol is.
No doubt.
The same thing about
was alcoholic, drinking alcohol all the time.
And the last time,
he was in jihad
against the Romans
under the leadership of Sayyidina Sad,
and he was found drunk.
Imagine a mujahide
leaving Medina,
and he has alcohol with him.
Can you imagine this?
We in Islam in the sharia,
when we are
in the battlefield,
when we are
on the
frontiers fighting the
the kuffar
and the Muslim commits
a sin,
we don't
establish the Hudud, the prescribed punishment there.
Why? The wisdom,
maybe he will run and join the kufar.
So we don't establish
the Hudud
on the frontier.
When we go back
at home,
there,
he receives his medicine.
So
was found drunk.
Said Nasad didn't do anything to him. The
way he punched him, he handcuffed him and
put the shackles in his feet.
Said Nasad was
unable to battle
participate physically in the battle.
He was just overseeing and watching.
And now,
though he was drunk,
the battle started, and he could hear
the takbir of the
Sahaba, the mujahideen.
See the the Muslim. The Muslim still has
iman,
that amber in his heart.
So now he's hearing the Takbir.
He hears the Takbir.
He started he wanted to get up. He
couldn't,
handcuffed
and shackled.
He called
Sarada, the wife of Sid Neshat. Come. Come.
Come.
Please, for our sake.
Open, remove the handcuffs and the shackles.
I promise you.
I promise you.
If I remain alive, I will come back
and you
with the handcuffs and the shakras.
And if I die, you get rid of
me.
But now
my brothers,
the Muslims are in need of me. They
need me.
Khuz Abu Maqdian was a policeman
fighter.
So that was the deal. She agreed. She
removed the handcuffs and the shackles.
He told her,
I know Saad.
It's only watching.
So give me his sword.
And he took the horse of Sayrna Saad,
and he headed to the battlefield.
He covered his face, disguised himself, covered his
face,
and he started
fighting.
Was
watching. He said,
He knows.
He said the
way the host gallops
goes back and forth,
and the way this knight snaps
and the way he uses his sword,
like a.
But
a is handcuffed, and
he's there in the tent.
And my house in this trouble, what is
going on?
The Sahaba, guess what?
When they saw this man
chopping off the heads,
they thought that he was an angel came
down.
So when
the fight stopped,
he came
back. He put the house in the stubble,
put hand the
he hung the sword.
He
put the handcuffs and the shakras.
See, Nasar now is talking to his wife.
He told his wife, you know what?
Today, I saw something amazing.
Had I not handcuffed him,
I would say that was a.
She said
he was
a, and she told him the story.
So Nasal
got up, removed the handcuffs and the shackles.
Said Abu Mahyan, this is between you and
Allah.
I will not punish you.
Abu Mahyan said, Saad,
you're the witness.
I will never drink it after today.
That's it.
I will never he repented sincerely.
So this is a.
He was drinking alcohol.
K?
And he was fighting as a mujahide.
He's not a Catholic.
He's a Muslim.
So many, many, many
things that a will make a person fasset,
but will not take him
out of his way. Even if he he
killed himself.
What else?
If a person killed himself,
that will not make him kafir.
He's a still Muslim,
and the the man at the time of
the prophet
who killed himself,
the prophet told the Sahaba.
You perform the janaza. He didn't plead the
the janaza, the prophet
as a punishment trial,
and that is indeed a great loss.
But the Sahaba, they prayed,
and
he was buried
in the Muslim
graveyard
and
everything.
All the rules of Sharia will apply to
him.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
It is clear,
that was our final question. If you'd like
to conclude.
May Allah
bless you. May Allah protect you. May Allah
protect your family, put
your life. And may Allah
elevate your status
in the duniya
and international.
And may Allah keep us remain steadfast in
this beautiful deen. And may
Allah grant us the beneficial knowledge of righteous
deeds. May Allah unite our hearts in the
Hakam. May Allah unite our Ummah in the
Hakam.
Until we meet Insha Allah
in the coming session, I leave you in
Allah's company and protection.
