Okay. Sheikh, ready for you, inshallah.

And this is
our 17th lesson
with our honorable Sheikh Sheikh Salim Al Amri.

Al Haramain Institute
number for the link to the Zoom class.
Without any further delay, I will request the
honorable Sheikh to begin insha'Allah.
My
dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today is
Kasfesh Shavu'at.
This beautiful book
by Sheikh
Mohammed Abdullah,
And we need to understand it, normalize it,
and share it with others.
Cash for Shavuot,
removal of the doubts.
The
most important thing that you, when you come
across people saying
this is not shit
or how you call us mushing, we are
not mushing,
How to respond?
The answer very simple.
Do you know the meaning of shirk?
Define the shirk, first of all, before you
say it is not shirk.
So let us agree, first of all, about
the definition.
Is your understanding
of the concept
shirk?
Right or wrong?
So do you understand by the word shit?
What is the shit?
If he defines
it correctly,
then then I'm fine. Now let us check
what the people are doing.
Is it similar or a replica
of the previous
calling
other than Allah Azzawajal?
So what is the difference
that if
the previous nations called upon Allah that is
Sheikh, if
we, Muslims, called upon other than Allah, there's
not Sheikh.
Why the devil is standards?
Allah is yes
and we treat people yesterday.
And for that reason, Allah
mentioned the stories of the people of the
past to warn us.
So before you
say this is not shift, try to understand,
first of all,
what is the word shift
and the machines
Without understanding that, you cannot
negate something you don't understand it.
So the shirk
is to
offer any act of everybody to Allah and
Allah. Listen, the shirk.
So if you offer any
you offer
any any act of worship
to Allah,
that is
if you call upon
Allah, that is
Because the dua is the Ibadah, as the
prophet
said in.
Dua is Ibadah itself.
So if you call other than Allah, you
call Abiqa Adirani or you call on Hussein.
You are calling other than Allah.
That is
because you are not calling Allah.
Allah
And your lord said, call upon
me, and I will respond
to your supplication.
But you're not calling Allah.
Why are you calling other than Allah
outside this question?
When
your
love
is
asking
you
to
call
him
alone?
Said Those who are
elegant.
They don't want to call me.
They will be cast and admitted to the
fire in a state of humiliation.
The dua is rebat.
And now you are calling Allah. So you
are what?
Worshipping Allah?
Are you a monotheist? Are you Muhahed? No.
Absolutely.
Because what you are doing is exactly what
the polytheists
of the past did.
So this is true.
Because you are attributing
and giving divine attributes to the dead.
Because when you are calling
which something he hates. He he doesn't
want you to do. And when the devil's
reaction, he will tell you, go. I don't
know you.
I wash my hands. I didn't call you,
ask you to call upon me. The same
thing that Hussein will say, alayhis salaam, will
say the same thing.
So now when you call a dead person,
you believe that he hears you. That's why
you're calling him.
You believe that. So you have given
a divine attributes of Allah
to
him. And this is shirk
because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
You cannot make the dead, those who are
in the graves,
here.
They are dead,
and they don't know when they will be
resurrected.
And now you call them, and you believe
that they hear you, and you believe that
they will respond to your dua.
So you are giving them
divine attributes
when they
are decayed
in their graves.
So that's a shirk.
If you over sacrifice $1, that is shirk.
So praise to your lord for.
So why do you over sacrifice it to
other than Allah?
This is strict.
But because you don't know the
right definition of shit that's why you commit
shit.
Had you known
the right definition of the shift, you would
not have committed such deeds.
So first of all, before you say this
is not your time to understand
what shift is
before you start defending yourself.
May Allah guide the Muslims to the to
the haqqami.
The Sheikh says
here, and I want you, my dear brothers
and sisters,
to try to understand
every single word.
He said,
Well, I mean,
a common man,
the layman,
from among the Muahideen,
the monotheists
the who understood the,
and they practice it.
And they call only upon Allah, and they
worship only Allah,
the common man.
Well,
So the common person from the Mount,
the Muwahideen,
will overcome a 1,000 from the Ulema
scholars
among those Musharites,
and this is true.
Go to the net, and you'll see.
They don't
know. When you when you hear them,
they've
their understanding
of the shock.
If you believe if you believe
that this dead person,
okay, he himself,
by his own power,
can help you, that is shit.
If you believe that he has that, that
he,
by his own power,
that's the shirk.
But if you make him
an intermediary between you and Allah,
that does not shit.
So by this definition
of theirs,
there's no shift on earth at all
because none
of the Mushriks
believed
that the one that he calls
can help by his he has his own
power, which is independent
of our lives.
No.
But they have taken them as intermediaries.
So they are intermediaries between us and Allah,
so they bring us near to Allah.
And that is what the Mushriks of our
time do among the Muslims.
Why do you call this saint?
Because he has lofty satyrs. He's close to
Allah. He's a righteous man.
Why don't you call Allah? No. No. No.
I am a sinner. I am full of
sins.
I cannot call Allah.
But this saint, this holy man,
he can
be my intermediary. He will intercede for me.
Subhanallah.
Allah
is telling you call me. Call me. Call
me.
And your love your Lord said,
call upon me.
I know you don't want to call him.
You have to call him through someone.
You see, if you read the Quran,
Allah mentioned in many places.
Yes. Oh, Mohammed, they ask you regarding the
moons, moon sighting.
These are signs and,
for knowing the timings of the Hajj.
Yes.
They ask you, oh, Mohammed
regarding
women in the menstrual,
in masses when they are having the menstrual
cycles.
As Ibn Hazm said, the Mahir is the
place of the hurt.
That is what is haram,
the place of the hurt.
The rest of the body of the woman
is haram for you,
as Aisha said and the rest of the
wives of the prophets. Tell him that
when one gets haram, period, he would ask
her tell her to wear
Izar,
and he would
be fondling with the upper tops.
So, yes,
they ask you regarding
women when they have their measures
To approach your women while they have their
mentions, it is something
harmful.
So don't sleep with them when they have
their
message.
But when
it
comes
to the
dua No one between you and Allah.
And when they ask you,
Muhammad
my servant, they ask you, oh, Muhammad
regarding me?
I am near.
Nor say that I am near. No. I
am near.
And he is there always with you, Subhanahu
wa
ta'ala. He's
closer to you than
the vein vein
in your neck.
And you leave him,
and you ask
the dead
who do not hear you
and who cannot help you?
So that's why
the here is saying,
and the common man,
Alami,
who has little he
and grew up in the environment of Tawhid,
worshiping and
calling upon
from amongst the will
offer 10,000 from the ulama.
Because if they're ulama, they cannot define the
ship, and they don't know
the exact definition of the ship. So you
hear them. There's no problem if you ask
the saint to,
to,
for help.
If you ask the saint to,
have a
child.
K? Because through everything, through Allah will come.
That the
saints
can also,
bring people,
into life
after they are dead.
Yes?
But it is by Allah's premiership.
Subhanallah.
That only happened for Isa, alaihis
salam.
That was a miracle for Isa, alaihis salam.
And now you are attributing it to the
others.
Because you see, this is
the bitter fruit
of the deviant,
deviant
mysticism,
because
the deviant mystics,
they have
rule they follow.
Any medical
or any profit
can be done as before by the willy
as a karama,
because there
is and karama,
and English doesn't have a word for the
karama. They're all called medic medical medical.
So the
is that something supernatural
performed
by a prophet or a messenger.
Done upon the hands of a prophet or
messenger. That is.
Something done by a say by a a
holy man,
righteous
person.
That is karama. And as the student of,
they believe
in the karama.
We have no problem with that.
K?
But the cannot
be
reached the level of the mortgage at the
medical of
the profits.
But the service, they say no.
The will he can do the same thing.
So if he's a gives life, the will
he can do the same thing.
I don't know what they will say if
you ask them
the medical of prophet Muhammad is the Quran.
And then will he bring the Quran?
Follow your route.
Be,
persistent.
And they
say
the deviant
service
mistakes.
The status
of the is
higher than the status of the.
The status of the of
sainthood.
So the position and the status of the
sainthood
in contrast and comparison
to prophethood
and messengership
so it's not common wilayah,
The station of the,
the position of the, the position of the
is
above profitude
but less than messengership.
That's what they're saying.
As one of them said,
We have fathomed
fathomed
an ocean
that the prophets could not
enter it. They stayed and remained on the
shore, but we fathom that ocean.
And then he said,
My heart told
me that it from our law.
You say what?
You scholars of hadith.
So Anshul told me so Anshul told me,
who are they?
Dead from dead from a dead.
You're
you're Isnat. But us? No.
Had that any my heart
related to me. My heart informed me.
Had doesn't advise
me
of my lord directly.
So
because of this, Deviant
and Deviant Mysticism,
is there.
And they are the advocates of,
the Deviant ones.
Because someone say,
Sufism
mysticism
is about the and
the beautification
of the heart
and to reach the status of
We're not talking about you.
We are talking about the deviant mystics
who are advocates for the shirk.
So you should be you should be with
us
to fight all those deviant ones,
okay,
who tarnish,
according to you,
who tarnish
the true citizen.
So don't give them a chance.
Expose them.
And it was together warned the Muslims against
the Jew.
And the common person
from amongst them
will overcome
a 1,000 from the ulama amongst the Muslims.
Why?
Because they are on battle, on falsehood.
And the falsehood, the battle has no roots.
No roots.
The truth has come,
and
the will vanish.
Falsehood has no roots.
Cannot stand in front of the hat.
As Allah said, the Surah to Safat,
a 173.
This is enough
to
strengthen your iman and to strengthen your heart.
Why?
And that our forces, our soldiers,
will certainly prevail,
will be victorious
over their enemies,
over their opponents,
over the advocates of shirk.
Those who want to revive
paganism again,
and the enemies of Islam, they support them
to revive paganism,
state worship,
grave worship.
And they say, this is the moderate
Islam.
The shirk is the moderate Islam.
No.
That has nothing to do with Islam.
That's not from Islam.
And our forces will certainly prevail.
And those advocates,
those who are
you unifying their their efforts
to,
what,
revive
The
dean
of
who spoiled
the Hanover
who
spoiled
the belief of the Arabs,
who drove them away
from the monotheistic
creed, from the religion and the deen of
their father, Ibrahim alayhis salam and his wife,
they want to revive that.
That's what they want.
And they
are
defending
the tombs
to motion,
celebrating
the birthdays of the saints,
similar to Catholicism.
In Catholicism,
they worship the saints,
and they have list of the saints.
So what is the difference?
Someone is worshiping
Mary,
asking
Mary, Madonna,
Mary,
the mother of Christ.
By the way, Madonna is the name of
title for Mary and Bethune,
the most chaste and decent woman.
That's okay.
That's not true. It's okay.
Because you call Abdi Abdi, Gilani,
so you can't call me.
So
Allah promised my dear brothers and sisters
that
his followers, the followers of the deen, the
monotheists, the Muwahhidun,
and monotheism
will prevail
over paganism
and idolatry
and saint worship and gay worship.
And the law
my dear brothers and sisters,
his way of granting this
vixey
to his servants.
He guards it by many means
and waits.
So he promised
that the monotheistic
servant,
Ebadun Waidun
will be victorious
always,
will have the other hand.
I hope you recall
when we talked about
set the terminologies of in
the beginning.
Allah has decreed.
I and my messengers
will certainly
prevail.
Truly, Allah is all powerful
and mighty.
Allah decreed, so this is a decree,
and whatever Allah decreed is going to pass.
Luckily,
Vandna,
I, Warashudi,
will certainly prevail.
Rebellion regarding what?
That make this deen,
the monotheistic
creed,
make monotheism
prevail
over paganism,
idolatry,
and any other worship
because that's what I sent.
I sent my messengers
to call the people to worship me alone.
So I'm going to make my
messengers,
and they'll follow us
prevail
over their enemies.
My messengers
came to you
asking you
to worship Allah and Allah
That's what I did.
Now certainly,
I have sent
into every community,
into every nation.
An Assur,
an apostle, a messenger,
and a wuduwa.
Worship Allah.
Wait. Tell me what wahood and turn all
false
objects of fortune.
Thousands of those
ignorant
scholars, between double quotes, when it comes to
the,
they are ignorant
Because the Tawhid, they know,
it is the unity of lordship, unity of
worship.
That if you you have to believe that
Allah is the creator,
Allah
is Allah is the halakh, Allah is the
Muiz, Allah is the.
So if you believe that Allah is your
creator,
Allah is your cherisher, Allah is your provider,
Allah is your
sustainer. Allah is your defender and
your head.
This is what Abu Jahal believes.
This is what Abu Jahal believes. This is
what
all Muslims of the Allah believe in that,
that Allah is their creator, Allah is their
provider, Allah is their sharisha, Allah is their
sustainer, Allah
is their defender.
So according to you,
oh, advocate
of the dean of Amlob Nurul Hayy,
oh, advocate
of the reviver of paganism in our time,
according to your new understanding,
according to your new belief,
the Mushriks
are
and
they should be the.
According to your deen, according to your belief,
according to the belief of the Muslims,
they are Musharikhs, and they are in the
hellfire.
In the hellfire.
Abu Lahab is in the hellfire.
Abu Talib is in the hellfire,
but because he defended the prophet,
Allah reduced
the punishment later, but he's in the hellfire.
The Abu Talib
said,
I knew I knew
that the deen of Mohammed, the religion of
Mohammed is the best religion.
And what stopped me from following him?
The people will say that I have deserted
the religion of my forefathers,
but I
know that this is the deen,
which is the right deen, the correct deen.
This what Abu Talib believed in it,
believed in that,
but that didn't help him.
Abu Talib
win
the
Abraha,
the Al Ashram,
Abraha,
the one whose lid was slit,
came from Yemen,
the Abyssinian
king,
to destroy the Kaaba.
And in his way
to
Mecca,
his army
confiscated
the canals
of Abu Talib,
So Abu Talib went
to see him.
Okay?
Or Abdul Mutaleh.
So he went to
meet the king,
and he
said,
your army, they have taken my
product.
So give me my cannot.
He said, you know what? You dropped from
my eyes,
Abu Hasid to
Abdul Mokbalev. Abdul Mokbalev.
Yes.
Before,
when I saw you, I thought you are
the head of Quraish,
so I decided to show some respect.
But when you asked for your canals,
you dropped for of my eyes.
Instead of asking me
not to attack your house the house of
worship,
y'all asking for your for your cannot.
So Abdul Jabal told him.
I am
the rob of the Ebal. I am the
rob of the canals.
I'm the lord of the canals. I'm the
owners of the canals.
And the house
has its
own love, its lord.
Allah will defend it.
And he went through
the Raish,
and Makkah told him,
seek shelter
in the mountains
because Allah will defend his house.
Allah will defend his house.
Ibn Nuhisham in the Seerah mentioned that,
that he was praying to Allah,
calling upon Allah,
asking Allah
to defend his house,
but he was standing next to Zubal
because Zubal is intermediary.
Only
intermediary,
but he was calling Allah
Is that through hate? No. Shirk.
But Allah,
as you know, saved his house.
So those callers
of shirk through the shirk in our time
now,
they are against the Tawhid,
and they say
and they give labels for the people who
are
telling
the Muslims, worship Allah. Allah, they give them
labels
and calling giving them names.
And they say,
you are
calling the Muslims Mushriks
when they are
monotheists.
How can they be monotheists
when they practice and do the same thing
as their
previous,
policyist?
The same things they are doing.
How come? They are monotheists,
and they are Muhed.
Because they say
the Kalima,
because they say
That's it?
Without knowing its meaning
and by nullifying
it through their actions, is that
lip service?
What has meaning?
Tell us.
Is it the lip service,
or it has meaning?
Of course, it has a meaning.
Otherwise, Quraish,
the
would have said it to save their,
lives, to save their poverty, etcetera.
But because they knew what is the meaning
of
they refused.
They refused.
Whenever they are asked
to say
they become arrogant.
And they say,
shall we leave?
Our gods,
our idols,
for the sake of a possessed
poet?
No. The prophet
didn't tell them.
Leave your gods,
but that's the meaning of
That's the meaning.
Have understood
it. Abu Yahal understood it.
Abu Sufyan understood it.
Umayi ibn Khalaf understood it.
That's the meaning of.
That all the
all these
intermediaries,
all these gods
should be only 1.
You call only 1. You don't call anyone
else.
In, that, they say okay. Most certainly, this
is something
amazing.
Something
blinks
wonder in the Hadid Machine in Roja.
This is something strange
that we leave the 3 60 ones
and worship only the one in heaven.
So they understood
the meaning of the kalimah,
of la ilaha luwa.
And today,
those advocates,
they don't know what Abula Avenue,
what Abuja knew,
what Abayam Nakhal Avenue,
what on.
Shame on them.
But they don't know.
The Musharikhs,
they knew the meaning
of
and they don't.
And then they say, this is not shirk.
My dear brothers and sisters, is not a
lip service.
It's not.
So Allah promised.
That Allah will have to leave and
Allah will put you in a jeez.
So Allah has decreed, I and my messengers
will certainly prevail.
And this to hate the
mercy of the to hate what remains supreme.
Kind of at Allah will remain supreme,
and that to hate government made.
And this dean will remain
because it is the dean
of the heat.
Also, I must said,
We certainly
held our messengers
and the believers,
their followers,
both this worldly life
and on the day
the witnesses will stand forth for testimony.
So this is a promise from Allah
that Allah
will help,
will guard
the time,
the victory,
make
the
messengers and their followers,
those who believe,
triumphant,
victorious
in this life
in this life
And the believers,
both in this worldly life
and on the day,
the witnesses will stand
both for testimony.
Ibn Abbas
of the Allah and Humana,
the interpreter of the Quran,
Turjuman of the Allah
and Humana,
commenting on this ayah as in Tafsir, Imam
al Babawi.
He said,
Allah will make the believers
the
the victory and
the nasa
Allah will give to them by overpowering
and subduing their enemies.
So he will make the believers
to overpower and subdue
the enemies
of the deen.
So that's what Allah
promised. So Allah,
he makes the monotheistic
servant
victorious.
Also,
he keeps the
he keeps
the to remain steadfast,
and may Allah keep us remain steadfast
on this beautiful deed till we meet him,
and he is pleased with all of us
and me because my dear brothers and sister,
they are turmoils.
They are fitan,
waves of fitan.
People now.
Yes.
Today, I received the message.
A brother,
teacher,
Just see what is happening, my dear brother
and sister, to the Muslim, Umma.
There are enemies working from inside and the
enemies from outside.
He's a teacher.
He said
I was giving
primary school.
Explaining the dean, Slavic education, tell me Islamiyah,
then a pupil,
tell me,
11, 12,
10,
You have one.
Said,
sir, sir,
teacher, I have a question. I said, go
ahead.
I said, until when?
Until when
you will continue
cheating
us? You have been cheating us.
This is a Muslim child.
You have been cheating us for the last
1400
years
that a prophet came,
prophet Muhammad and
he brought a religion called Islam,
blah blah blah blah,
etcetera.
He said the teacher said,
I said, my son,
where did you learn this?
Who put these thoughts in your mind?
Said I went to the net
and there is an guy who is an
atheist.
I listened to him and he convinced me.
So the teacher said,
I tried my best
to
counteract
and to refute
what that atheist said.
And he is saying, oh, parents,
take care of your children.
Strengthen the belief in their heart.
Drill down the al Qaeda in their heart,
instill the al Qaeda in their heart
because the attack on the deen from every
corner.
All evil forces united
against
this
to take us away from the deen.
They will never cease fighting you
until they take you away from your deen
if they can.
This what Allah said,
and this what they are doing.
So how to counteract that?
If the parents are sleeping,
giving every child
a mobile phone,
and they can
read and see whatever and listen to whoever
they want.
The mother is busy. The father is busy.
Then expect something like that.
So you need
to take care of your children,
teach them,
Build the iman in their hearts.
Stenting
the
in their hearts.
The same thing the teachers in their schools.
Islamic
schools.
Focus on this.
Before they memorize the Quran,
build the aqeedah
in the hearts of the children.
May Allah keep us to remain steadfast in
this beautiful deen,
and may Allah protect our children or your
children. Ameen.
So Allah,
he protects the monotheists,
the Muwahideen,
and he keeps
them
remain steadfast
on the deed, Alhamdulillah.
So that's why
we should be always begging Allah,
crying to Allah
to save us from all these types of
fitan that are like the waves of the
sea as the prophet said.
Fitna after fitna, tribulation
after tribulation.
And the latter is greater than the former.
So if you don't
have the tawhid, if you don't have the
strong iman,
you would be washed away
by such waves
of atheism,
paganism,
agnosticism,
oh, name it.
All deviant ideologies
and thoughts.
Allah
regarding keeping the believers
steadfast,
he said in Surat Ibrahim Alaihi Salam,
and the Quran my dear brothers and sisters
is the one.
Alhamdulillah, we have the Quran with us.
Otherwise, they are removing
the ayat from the curriculum and curricula
so
that
the young generation will go out because they
don't know anything.
But, Alhamdulillah,
Quran
is there.
So
now the Lord of the family,
take care of your children,
and let them memorize the book of Allah
have a circle in your house
on a daily basis,
and build this apeila
in the hearts of the
young ones.
Allah makes the believers
steadfast.
May Allah give us a remain steadfast
with the firm word of iman
in this worldly life and hereafter.
And Allah
leaves the wrongdoers to stray, or Allah does
what he wears?
Let us ponder a bit
here. You said
so the believers the 2 believers, Allah
will make them remain steadfast, and they will
remain firm,
firm
with the word of.
The
firm word of iman.
He keeps them remain steadfast.
He keeps their hearts remain steadfast
in this worldly life.
So they live in the duniya,
and they carry on, and they remain steadfast
in spite of all
pressures
they experience.
All types of attacks.
All types of doubts.
They are firm.
Firm.
Allah
only will make the the person firm, understand
fast. Only Allah,
if he sees that you are always humble,
always begging him, always crying to him,
Oh, you, who turns the heart,
keep my heart to remain firm in your
deed.
But if you say
now, I can be a critical thinker.
Critical thinker.
K.
I know.
I have the tools.
So I will check,
and I will know the hack.
I will not accept anything
people say. I have to arrive
to the truth by myself.
So everything is on the table.
Everything is questionable.
The Quran is questionable.
Yeah. Quran yes.
I have to check everything.
Subhanallah.
Subhanallah.
I'll tell you what.
There is a guy
known by the name
Baha Hussein
Baha Hussein,
blind man in the 19th century, Egyptian.
He was sent to study in France.
He was a Muslim practicing
Muslim,
and when he came back,
was different person.
And the first attack
because they who are the Egyptians?
The Orientalists.
So when he came back,
he's on a deposit.
So the first
thing he started
is to doubt
there is something called a cheryl ja'ili,
the poetry
before Islam. He said there's nothing called cheryl
ja'ili. You know why?
You know why?
Because how can you will understand the Quran?
How can you understand the Quran?
By the Arabic language.
And the Arabs, they were unlettered nation.
So they committed everything to Mamiri
and said it in poetry.
So by knowing the the
poetry of the Arabs before Islam
from the linguistic
point of view,
you'll be able to understand the Quran
because it came down in their tongue.
I understand.
So let us attack and say there's nothing
called
Sheikh Yahili.
Because if you now open the books of
the,
poverty. Name it.
You
will come.
That
the
mufasa,
a poetic verse.
That this meaning
is known in the tongues of the Arabs,
and this is the evidence.
1 of the Hawari nabe ibn al Azar,
who was debating with the Mahabas,
Whenever
Ibn Abbas says the meaning and interpreting the,
he would ask him,
this meaning you mentioned,
do the Arabs know it?
He said, yes.
What is the proof? And Ibn Abbas will
give him a politic verse.
The one who wrote Avon Bayan with the
Syrian Quran.
They asked him once, what are you reading
now, Sheikh?
Said, hey. I'm reading
the works
of
Muhammad al Nurbia,
one of the poets,
said I'm reading his poetry
to understand
the words of my
to understand the Quran.
So this Pada Hussain
tried to attack and said there's nothing called
the poetry of Brie Islam.
Then he moved to another
state.
He would give his class
at the time
to his students so the students, they don't
don't don't go to the mosque.
And then he would give assignments to the
students'
assignment. Go and find the grammatical mistakes in
the Quran,
because this is his mission.
His teacher, the organizers, told him this is
what we want you to do.
And today,
there are others like him.
Others like him.
So only Allah who will keep the people
steadfast, those who are sincere.
Freethinker?
You're a critical
thinker?
You treat the I nothing is sacred.
Have you heard this?
And they say, and you
reading new reading
for the
for the revelation.
New reading.
We will not accept the understanding
of the previous
generation of new one reading.
They don't want
to follow what the language says
or says.
They want just to
understand and explain everything according to their whims
and desires.
Because
if they follow the rules,
they cannot go up and say whatever they
want
because linguistically,
it is not acceptable
by
according to Sule and Vik, cannot be accepted.
So they have to get rid of all
these things.
So my dear brothers and sisters, my advice
for you,
this is time of fitan,
and we are heading towards the end of
time.
So don't lose
your duniya and akhir.
So keep praying to Allah
to keep you steadfast in the deen.
So Allah says,
you said
Oh, Allah, keep our hearts firm on the
happy Arab.
You
said
So Allah
will keep those believers
remain firm and steadfast.
And this dunya and the light and
the akira and the grave, and the grave,
in the grave,
Allah will make you remain steadfast.
The 3 questions,
you will answer them easily.
May Allah
help us
and make us pass that test. I mean,
what do you what do you love of
God mean?
You what do you love? What do you
mean? Allah leaves the volume that I'm doers
to.
So the one
who doesn't follow
Allah's side,
you turn away
from the dikr of Allah
from the remembrance of Allah
He will have a miserable life.
And we shall raise him,
on the day of resurrection.
Blind.
Blind.
When did you raise me up blind
when I was not blind?
A lot of times. And that's
because our science came to you,
and you forgot that.
And today, you will be neglected.
You'll be ignored.
So
those wrongdoers,
they didn't follow the Hidayah. They didn't
follow
the
guidance.
Allah does what he wills.
And no one can question
Allah Then
the chef said,
The layman from among them because
why Allah
keeps them
from why?
Because they are on the,
upon this
innate belief,
that
natural belief which is imprinted inside
upon the fitra.
So he
is
the teachings that
touch your fitra.
Many of the reverse, brothers and sisters,
when they were asked,
what touched you? What attracted you to the
deen?
He said that there were heat. The simplicity
of the belief.
Monotheistic
belief belief.
Monotheism.
No shirk.
No complexity.
Nothing like holy trinity, father, the third, and
the holy ghost, and these 3 are 1.
Something which will drive you crazy.
The Quran says, Allah is 1. God is
1.
Very simple.
So the muhids, they are on the fitrah,
which Allah
created upon it.
A common person, a
army. This is a true story,
and I conclude by this. But
he's a.
This layman,
this common person,
he was in a Muslim country
for receiving medical treatment.
Then
the staff in the hospital, they told
him, we have the tomb of Al Hussein,
the tomb of Sayedna al Hussein,
And Sayid Al Hussein, as you know, was
martyred in Karbala,
and his head was removed and was taken
to Assam
and was buried in
Aspalan
in Palestine.
As Sheikh Islam
mentioned.
But it's
what happened
and to your supplies that you'll find that
Hussein in Syria,
in Iraq,
and in Egypt.
It's
stations.
So how many Hissans do we have?
So they say,
we have the tomb of El Hussein.
You can go and ask him,
because they go and ask the dead.
He said see the the reply.
He said we have his grandfather, salallahu alaihi
wa sallam, in my country
in
Medina.
We have an Hussein's
grandfather,
salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
and we don't go and ask him.
We don't go and ask the prophet.
We ask only Allah.
We ask only Allah
because that's what our prophet
taught us
not to ask him, but to ask Allah.
When you ask
and when you see and when you see
This
is what the sheikh is refer giving us,
telling a common man can silence many of
them.
Say, do you have his grandfather,
Not gonna say his grandfather,
We don't ask him.
We ask Allah.
Yeah. Because that
is Many Muslims, those even who are practicing
the church, they say,
but really,
do you worship Allah?
Or you are worshiping others.
May Allah guide all of us
and keep us remain on this beautiful deed.
May Allah guide all those Muslims
while not on the right track. May Allah
bring them and may Allah bring those brothers
and sisters who went astray.
May Allah bring them to the Haqqani.
May Allah unite our hearts and the truth
and the Haqqani, and may Allah unite our
Ummah, and may Allah give us remain steadfast
on this beautiful deed
till we meet Allah,
and he's pleased with all of us standing.
May Allah forgive us all faults and mistakes
and ignorance,
and may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
immensely for your patience and attendance.
May we begin the question answers inshallah?
Brothers and sisters,
kindly send through your questions
to be answered.
Those who are on Zoom, you may send
your questions
on,
Zoom via the chats or
by raising your hands to ask directly to
raise your hands. Please press on participants and
then press on
raise hand.
We have received some questions already. We will
begin with those Insha'Allah.
Okay.
The first question
may Allah reward the Sheikh immensely for the
beneficial knowledge. Amin.
The question is on behalf of a 12
year old girl who wants to know if
she can play
chess, if it is allowed to play chess.
Okay.
The chess
some of the ulema
saying it was haram
and
based on some narrations,
but all these narrations are weak narrations actually.
So
playing chess is permissible.
You can play
providing
that you don't miss your prayers,
and
you
play it within a certain
period of
time, such as control.
If that is the case, that it will
you will not miss your prayers, and it
will not affect
if you are your study and
so there's no harm, inshallah,
regarding the shatran or the chest.
Is this clear?
Inshallah, that is clear, Sheikh. The next question
we have,
assalamu
alikumu. Dear Sheikh, is it true,
that after the prescription of the salah, the
order of growing the beard was abrogated
and it remained only just a sunnah
since now it's the prayer that's diff that
differentiates
between a Muslim from a non Muslim. May
Allah reward you.
This
is another Shulaha.
This is another shawwaha.
K? You see, my dear brothers and sisters?
So how
how to handle things like this?
And you will be always
hearing
the issue of heart,
doubts,
20%
So what to do?
Listen to me now carefully.
The remedy
for the shaw shawwahat is the end
of the of a wahdatasat.
Without learning your deep,
without
equipping yourself with the knowledge,
you'll be confused,
and you will be like the Benjiro.
You hit this one, you go ahead this
way. You hit that one, you go this
way. You like that. Keep swinging.
So
start learning your Islam,
learning your deen.
Take it very serious.
And when you hear something
you don't know,
the answer,
don't
accept it and believe in
it. This is.
Doubt.
Someone is saying whatever he want to say.
Alhamdulillah,
in Islam, Allah told us,
we
have
touchstone,
a criterion.
Anyone says anything?
Because today, everyone, Trump, Dick, and Harry, they
talk about this one.
Anyone.
Any Trump.
Say,
produce your evidence if you are telling the
truth.
Reduce.
Because our Islam, the Quran and the Sunnah,
where is it that it is abrogated?
Yes.
Yes.
So all the about
glowing the beads
are not obligated,
and it is from Sunan al Fittla as
well.
Aisha used to swear.
And but I'll say
she used
to
say, by the one who beatified men by
the beard.
The beard
is the beauty of the man.
So she's used to swear by him,
subhanah,
who beautified men with the beard.
Because
Allah didn't get the woman beards.
He gave it only to the men,
so you look different.
So when you shave it, you imitate the
woman.
You imitate the woman.
And you know when
the the prophet,
he sent
messages
inviting the kings and the emperors, and
and he sent
letter to the emperor of
Persia,
Kosso,
and he told the letter of the prophet.
And when the news of the pop reached
the prophet, he said, may Allah tear his
kingdom, and that's what happened.
And he sent this Kosso
letter to his governor in Yemen because Yemen
was under the ruling of the
the
the Persian
Empire.
And he told him that he wanted to
send 2 strong men to Medina
to bring this man to me, get,
life.
We want him sent only 2 men. See
his arrogance?
And the governor, not bad. Then he sent
2 men. Persian one. Strong. Tall.
Very strong.
And they arrived in Medina. Said, Nur Omar,
he saw them. Said, Nur Omar had that
feeling.
He took them to the prophet.
The prophet had a look at them, and
he saw that
they shaved their beards and grew their mustache.
And he told them, who commanded you to
do this,
to shave your beats?
They said, our lord, they mean, Kosno.
He said, I, my lord,
commanded me to grow my weed and to
trim my mustache.
And now go and tell your governor, the
one who sent
you, that my lord killed his lord last
night.
Tell him
my lord killed his lord.
And they went back to
to Yemen.
And they said this what he said. He
said, okay. Okay. But Dan said,
now this man, the prophet,
he puts all his eggs in one basket.
Well, just what? Watch
and wait.
If what he said right,
then he must be a prophet.
If what he said not true,
then he's a liar.
The news also spread and leaked,
and the people in Yemen heard about it.
So now everyone is waiting
for the news to arrive from
Paris, from Persia.
The news arrived. The news came.
What happened?
The emperor was assassinated,
and they have appointed
his daughter.
And the prophetess answered the 2 men, and
they appointed his daughter.
And no people will prosper
if their ruler is a woman.
So the prophet when he looks at them,
he
turned his face.
So shaving the beads is haram
according to the 4
madhhabs.
So it's not obligated.
But my advice for you brothers and sisters,
learn your deed.
Learn your deed, and anyone
says anything,
say it reduce your evidence.
Is this clear to the questioner?
It is clear,
we will take now Fazil Abdullah. Please unmute
your mic,
So,
I had 2 questions.
One of them is, is it permissible to
teach in a Catholic
school? That's one of the questions.
It's
it will
it takes students from all different backgrounds.
They do have,
their their times of worship and everything else,
but they take students from different backgrounds and
teachers from different backgrounds. So I just wanted
to find out about that.
One minute. One minute. So
what subject
are you teaching?
So that would be mathematics.
Okay. So you'll be teaching mathematics,
and it is a Catholic school.
And the the pupils are from different backgrounds,
Muslims and non Muslims, etcetera. Right?
Yes.
Okay.
The outside, you can.
Providing that, it is not going to affect
your deen.
It's not going to affect
your imam.
And that you will be,
maintaining your din and wearing your hijab, and,
you have
place to pay and all these things.
So if nothing is going to affect you,
you personally, your deal,
then there's no harm. Though the best thing
for you
is to find
alternative and find
a Islamic school to teach in if you
can.
But is it permissible? The answer, yes. It
is permissible,
providing that
your deal is safe
and that you are going
to
maintain your identity
and also you will make dua as well.
Is this clear to you?
Oh,
when you say make dua, do you mean
active dua, or how do you mean dua?
Because No. Dua, that means,
with the women,
maybe you start 1 to 1 and
and explain to them what Islam is about
when you are,
teaching with the chatting with your colleagues.
I see. Okay. But be a practicing sister.
That is the most influential
and the most effective method is the character
and the manners.
So exhibit
the character of the true Muslim.
Okay.
The next
The next can I ask the second question,
please? Yes. You can. Yes.
So the second question is that,
well, it's my my half sister is a
Christian, and our father was a was a
Muslim
when he was alive.
Again, please, would you mind repeating?
Yeah. So so my half sister, she's a
Christian,
and my father was a Muslim.
We came together after he died. So I
never met her before until he died, and
then we met.
And she told me,
you know, very early on when I met
her that she would never become Muslim.
Her mother
and other half sister is a 7th day
Adventist.
My sister, she's from Ghanaian heritage.
My my own mother is Mauritian, and her
her,
family is Muslim, and her ancestors were Hindu.
My sister
is is black. And when I generally try
to call black people to Islam, they come
back they come back and return that with
how Muslim Arabs held many black slaves,
how they profited from the slave check trade.
Even now, a Christian friend will say to
me,
share stories of Arabs trafficking
poor black people or foreigners,
and exploiting them dismally.
How should I respond to them and invite
them to Islam against all of this,
honorable Sheikh?
You see,
you cannot
say Islam is like that because there are
some Muslims
did something wrong.
If there are some Muslims
had the the English,
actually,
to
take the slaves from Africa
to America.
They facilitated that. Some Muslim. Yes. And they
are sinful,
and that is against, what Islam teaches.
And it is haram.
But don't you know
that all the dead Indians
were wiped
by the Europeans?
1000000 and 1000000?
Can now we say
that is because Christianity
teaches that?
Can we say Christianity killed 1,000,000 in the
2nd World War
because Hitler is Christian?
No.
No. That's not the way to
be objective
when you study something.
So you have to tell this sister your
sister,
this is the Quran. Read it. Read it
If you want to know about Islam,
forget about what the Muslims did some Muslim
did,
or some fool Muslims also doing funny,
foolish things in our time. Forget about that.
See what is the Quran says
and how the Quran and the sunnah of
the prophet treated
the slaves
at the time of the and
see how the Quran
came with the practical solution
to the issue of slavery.
As a matter of fact, Islam
emancipated
and liberated
slaves.
So much so today,
because, you know,
if someone kills someone by mistake,
he has to set a slave free
or pass 2 consecutive months
in in addition to giving the blood money.
Today,
people, they by accident, they kill someone,
they cannot find a slave because no more
slaves are there.
No more slaves.
Over time, they were liberated
because Islam provided a mechanism,
a system.
The Muslim, they followed it, and
slaves were
liberated and emancipated.
Islam said and teaches,
don't call them. Even if he is their
slave to the master, don't call him slave.
Don't overburden him.
Clothe him as you clothe yourself.
And
if he's a,
slip girl,
and he give birth
to a child,
the moment her master dies,
she becomes free automatically.
So this is what teaches.
So
educate them
and call your sister nicely
and be kind to her
until I just read the book, read the
Quran,
and you are going to discover
yourself
what Islam teaches.
Forget about what Muslims are practicing
because,
unfortunately,
some Muslims,
they did not celebrate Islam,
and they gave their own image.
Whereas the Muslims in the past,
if
you
see Indonesia,
Malaysia, the Far East,
no Muslim army went there.
Just
group of honest and righteous
traders, Muslims,
especially from the southern parts, on Yemen, from
Hadaromat,
and the people, they liked it, and they
became Muslims.
We're eating.
Is it clear to your sister?
Yes.
Yeah. That's very helpful. Yeah. Okay.
Bye bye.
Okay. We'll move on to the next question.
The next question is,
is it allowed to keep the name
Qasim?
Qasim? About Qasim?
Yes. But just the name Qasim.
Qasim? Okay. It's her name.
It's
her name.
But
the best names as the prophet said, Abdulwan
Abdul Rahman or Alparsin
Alparsin. You can call your child Alparsin
because your the prophet
said, do not call yourself,
because that was
for the prophet. But as I said, that
was during his lifetime.
After he passed away,
You can't call your child a.
No harm
Is this clear?
It is clear, Sheikh.
The next question.
In the subcontinent, scholars tell us about Karamat,
which are so extreme to believe.
When we ask them how,
they say when a follower of Suleyman alaihi
salaam
can bring the throne of Bilqis within seconds,
then a follower of Muhammad
can do more than that.
Do we
need to believe this type of karamat,
Sheikh?
No.
We don't.
We believe in the karamat
within the framework of the Sharia.
That's why the, Imam Shafi'i
said,
So if you see the man flying in
the sky or walking in the water, do
not accept
whatever he does until you check him according
to the qidab and sunnah.
Because
by just flying, it doesn't mean that you
are one of.
You are one of the.
That's
why
and I recommend sisters and brothers
to read this book.
The criterion between our lives
friends and the devil friends. It's there in
English, free on the net. Download it. I
read it.
So the reason the sheikh, rahim Allah, have
entertained me around that book is there was
a man in Damascus,
and in Damascus, there is a small hill
called.
There were this man, he would jump on
the top of this little hill,
fly,
and he would land safely.
And the people would say,
this is one of Allah.
Sheikh Musaam said, no. He's the only of
the shayta. The are carrying him.
So that's what the prophet said.
He said,
and also by
Suryuti, authenticated by
The prophet said,
the are 3 types.
This one, we are clear. They fly.
Another type, they take the forms and shapes
of dogs and snakes.
And the 3rd time, they live with you
in the toilets.
So the one who is flying
the gym, they carry him.
They carry
him. So that's why Imam Khadre said, if
you see him flying or walking in the
water,
that's another criteria.
The criterion,
if he is really following the Kitab and
Sunnah
and this something supernatural
happened
like, with
his troops, they walked on the water. Yes.
And the said only the hooves became wet.
That is karama.
That is karama.
Imam al Laka'i, I think volume number 8,
it's about the karamaat. So I assume that
they accept the karamaat.
But the upon if it happened upon the
hands of
a person
who is
abiding by the kitab and sunnah.
But if we
indulge in bitter and shirk. That is not
karam.
That is.
The devil is pulling his leg.
K?
So you don't accept anything like that.
Okay? If this person is practicing silk, practicing
vida,
and then he
starts narrating such stories, and many of them
are fairy tales.
Right?
There are books many books
written about this karamat
which are not true and we cannot accept.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Inshallah, it is clear, Sheikh. The next question,
we'll go to Ali Ibrahim.
Go ahead.
Please unmute your mic.
Ali Ibrahim, please unmute your mic.
Okay. We move on
with the next questioner.
Question number
2,
which is from actually the previous questioner who
had given the written question. When I tell
them seeking wasila is prohibited,
these scholars refer hadith from Bukhari.
It's narrated that after the death of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
When someone gets ill,
Sahaba's used to dip their
hair of the prophet in water and give
it to the ill so they get cured.
These scholars say they should have
asked Allah to cure. Why they seek the
hair of prophet? Please explain this.
You see,
we have a saying, the drowning person clutches
at the straw.
You know, you are drowning.
So a straw is there floating, so you
you think the straw will save you.
Okay? So they don't have any
aim. They don't have any hudja, any evidence.
This is called Tabahook,
and the prophet
approved of that during his lifetime.
As a matter of fact, when he during
the hike,
he would distribute his air to the Sahara.
And this is one of the remember
the
the speciality
is something peculiar for the prophet.
So it is permissible,
his sweat.
The Sahabi took the sweat and
collected it, and he said when the prophet
said, what are you doing? He said, I
want to mix your sweat
with my perfume.
And he allowed that,
his hair.
If he splits, the Sahaba will collect the
the sputum
and rub it against their bodies,
and he approved that of that, and he
allowed that.
So this is something special for the prophet
So
when
there were few heirs in the household of
the prophet
So when someone falls sick,
they will add water and drink, and they
will be cured.
That's okay.
These are the heads of the.
And
this,
the the personal seller,
sanctioned it and allowed it.
So what's the problem?
But your spit,
the person who, this chief or Maulana appeared,
we cannot say Baraka, your spit.
It's full of germs.
One of them on the YouTube.
Okay?
He took the
the
I don't want to talk about this.
They they may swab
from the mouth of someone and put it
in his mouth, and you know, corona is
going on.
See?
So no one is barakah after the prophet.
Only the
prophet these were.
This was something peculiar. This was something Allah
made it
allowed for him
So
the hair, we're barakah,
not only that,
more than this.
Even
the
because
he managed to get also
a few hairs,
the and
he was keeping them with him.
And when he was dying, he said bring
that box
and said put them
inside my
child when you
bury me.
So that is permissible in Islam, and
we
will deal with these topics in the future
about the Tabakk Insha'Allah.
Is this clear to the questioner?
It is clear, Sheikh. The next question?
Assalamu alaikum Sheikh.
For a beautiful lesson and reminder today. My
question is
to what extent
to what extent does our responsibility
go in reminding those that we love,
I. E. The parents,
spouse, brothers and sisters, children, and then friends,
etcetera.
If we see something incorrect, we advise, but
often we either get a rebuke,
mockery, or just a year, year, year.
Thank you,
but they ignore
still.
So to what extent does our responsibility
go?
When
should we give up if at all?
Until we bleed our our lust,
we'll not give up,
we'll not lose hope,
but we should know
how to say it, when to say it.
Maybe collectively, it doesn't work.
Individually, it will work.
So try now to discover what is the
best and suitable technique
to approach this,
but never give up reminding them.
Never.
And
because when you are reminding them, you are
getting and the angels are waiting for you.
And you know what?
It happened to me
30 years back
around that when I started
with my family, with my tribe.
Oh, I heard a lot of things.
A lot.
There were a lot of shirk
and practices going to fortune tellers and magicians
and and other
things. They used to call me, yeah, I
lost my sanity and nothing's better.
Now
nothing
oh, this practice has vanished.
Now they are calling and asking questions
about the deed.
So we need just to be patient patient.
But we should never give up. Never give
up.
We love them, and they don't know.
Just
try praying to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
guide them and to sharpen their hearts, but
never give up. Is this clear to the
questioner?
Insha'Allah, it is clear, Sheikh.
Yes.
Next question inshallah.
Okay.
Assalamu alikum.
May Allah continue to bless you for the
beneficial dose. Is it only pure gold and
silver
that is prohibited to wear or anything gold
or silver plated?
I'm, thinking now you have you are talking
about men, not women.
Yes. Correct.
Okay. For men,
silver and gold silver is allowed for men,
only gold
only gold.
So you can have silver ring, no problem.
Hatter.
Hatter, no problem for
the silver for men.
For men,
gold and natural silk is haram.
Now
regarding things that are coated,
like plates
or spoons,
spoons
that are coated with gold and silver, we
are not allowed to eat and use them.
K?
Or a pen that is coated with gold
and silver. We are not allowed to use
them.
K?
And silver,
kadem, ring for men, it is allowed.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes.
The next question.
If one was in a state of wudu
and then attends the call of nature, can
he wipe over the socks
when taking new wudu after attending the call?
Providing that when he put the socks on,
he had
because you know that you are allowed to
wipe
over your socks for the resident one day
and one night
and for the traveler traveler,
3 days and 3 nights.
So let's say
after 5 year,
you need to go do you put your
socks on.
So you put them on while you had
Hulu.
So now you are allowed to wipe over
it for one day and one night.
So now you lost your. You answered the
you went to answer the call of nature?
Yes. You can just wipe over the socks.
You take normal will do and then wipe
over the socks.
Is this clear to the questioner?
That is clear, Sheikh.
The next question,
when one is taking
and performs ablution in the process,
does accidental touching of the private part nullify
the?
Let me elaborate here,
and I hope that you bear when I
elaborate.
The issue of touching one's
aura,
private part,
does it break the wudu or doesn't? This
is a controversial issue between scholars.
The reason there are 2 ahadith
regarding this matter.
The hadith of Talkebnu Ali of the Allah
Muhammad
when he asked the prophet
if someone captures his perfect part, does it
nullify what's wudu? He said,
It is an integral
part of you.
This is the hadith of Tal Qumran Ali.
There's another hadith, hadith of the Allahu Anha.
Whoever touches
his private part should renew his.
So these 2 hadith
seem there is an apparent conflict.
1 hadith says no, it doesn't,
and the other says
difficult. How to resolve this
apparent conflict?
There are ways, the ulama, they follow.
One of the ways is the lust, the
obligation.
1 is saved before the other.
K?
So if we say that
the Hadith of was
in the beginning,
then the prophet
said
that whoever touches its private part later,
then this hadith obligated that one.
Okay?
But the claim of obligation
as per claims obligation,
he has to reduce the date
the date.
And they failed to produce the date that
the hadith of was
after the hadith of Talp al Nuhari,
and it obligated the hadith of Talp.
So without reducing the date, you cannot
accept
the claim of
or obligation.
2nd approach
that follow,
if one hadith is stronger than the other.
This hadith is in Bukharian Muslim. This hadith
is reported in one of the books of
the sunnah.
They say so this hadith, which is in
the is
stronger than that one.
But both the hadiths are strong
and authentic.
The other click, the, they follow they're saying
we try
to resolve this apparent contradiction
or conflict
if there is a way we can apply
both of them.
And
the answer, yes. We can apply both of
them
because each one is talking
about a certain application
or certain condition.
The hadith of talcum no Ali, it is
part of you
if you touch it accidentally.
If one touches
his private part accidentally,
he felt scratchy,
or while he was taking a shower,
he touched his private part, or when he
was drying his body using a towel, touched
his private part by accident,
then his wudu is valid and cannot be
had no need to renew it. The hadith
of busra can be applied
for the one who touches his private part
seeking desire, lust.
So he's touching his private part
to get the pleasure.
So if that is the case, then
the will
be nullified,
and you have to take,
a new
So now
this apparent conflict is resolved,
and this also
give us leeway,
give us flexibility,
Because mothers, they keep changing the nabis of
their kids'
children,
and they touch the aura of the child.
Should they take all the? No.
Or her wife, her husband
is unable.
He's sick to take.
So she is giving to her husband.
Should she renew her wudu? The answer, no.
So the strongest opinion,
touching one's private part,
accidentally
not seeking pleasure
will not break one's wudu.
But if someone touches his or her private
part,
seeking pleasure,
that will break the. Is this clear to
the questioner?
That is clear,
let us go to Ali Ibrahim. Please unmute
your mic. Hopefully, it will be
unmuted this time.
Ali Ibrahim, please unmute your mic.
Okay.
We move on with
Alright.
Assalamu
alaikum.
My my dear Sheikh,
sorry for
interruption.
It's my first time for Zooming.
May Allah reward you for your,
struggle
given as dawah,
and,
bless
all your family
members, parenties,
and
your
country, the society of.
Masha Allah, you are
your
dua is
for us.
My question is I got 2 questions.
The first one is
those people who came to to the prophet,
Alessa, to Salam,
those who shaved their beard.
My question is if the imam
my imam is shaving the the the
beard
and lift
the moustaches,
can I join him as my imam after
salah?
Can he be my my my imam? That's
my question. Number 1. Okay. Let me take
your question 1 by 1, and I'm sorry.
So the imam is Oh, sorry. The the
imam shifts his beard, and he leads the
salah.
So, yes, you can play behind him, and
the salah is correct.
The salah?
What about
what about if if his his his trousers
are tugging,
beyond the elbows
Okay.
Or hit close.
Okay.
So
the
the belief of al sunnah wal jamah,
we pray behind everyone whether he's righteous
or impious.
K. So the salah is correct.
The Sahaba, they played about behind one of
them
and happened to be
drunk.
And he
prayed the fajal,
and I think he prayed 3 rakat, and
then he said, you want more? And he
made
the
salah.
So
playing behind an imam, especially if this imam
is the only one, the masjid in the
your area, and he
shapes his beard,
the salah is correct.
The same thing if his trousers
or his throat is below the ankles.
Because as you know, of course, it is
haram,
the Ismail,
but at the same time, maybe he's following
other fat ones
that says that if you,
let your
or your trousers below the ankles,
and there is no,
Alagaz, there's no,
it's not Haram. It is Haram if it
is associated
with Alagaz and.
So maybe he's following that opinion.
So that's why
his trousers are below the ankles of the
toe.
But the salah is correct, and one should
not leave the salah
behind an imam
who shaves his beard or he has Isbal.
Is this clear to you, Ahi?
Alhamdulillah.
It's clear, my Sheikh,
may Allah,
Barik, your family, your life,
give us for
the Ummah of Muslim.
My second question
is follow-up,
that's just asking you asking you about the
slavery.
And,
Alhamdulillah, I'm an African.
A racist African.
And
we know that this European is
from 1984,
after Berlin meeting when they came to Africa.
They have slept.
They have killed millions of millions. Each and
each and every country,
they have killed a lot of people.
And those days, even
no media,
no communication.
So this is what just we are hearing
from the,
some sources.
And and that that is true. They even
they have confirmed to themselves, they have committed
what they have done.
They know they knew.
So my question is, who was buying this,
African slave place?
While they are now saying Arab traders of,
traders of slavery and something like that when
they bring the story like that.
But now
who was spying and who was using using
them when they turn to west or anywhere?
Themselves is they were using people and killed
a lot of people and harassing and torturing.
Yes. What is the question, Rafi?
Yeah. Yeah. I my question is who was
buying these people in Africa? They said,
Arabs are trading, but now,
Islam are trading for,
slavers. But who was using these
slivers?
Okay.
Whoever,
whether they were Muslims, Muslim traders, Arab traders,
that is haram
that's prohibited
in Islam.
That's prohibited in Islam, they are sinful,
and now they are there in next life.
And they will face
all their evil deeds
all their evil deeds
because
Allah created all of us equal.
He created all of us flee flee,
not slaves.
I said, no. I'm not
saying How can you enslave the people when
their mothers
when they gave birth to them, they were
free?
When they came to this life, they were
free.
So who gave you the right to enslave
them?
So in Islam, my dear brother and sisters,
no difference.
No one is better than the other, an
Arab over a non Arab
except by Taqwa,
righteousness and piety.
When Sayedna be Abu Dhabi got
angry with Sayedna
Bilal, and he said, oh, son of the
black woman.
The got
very upset
with Abu Dhar.
Said what?
What did you say?
The son of the black woman?
You are a man
of
You have a noble quality of
from the days of ignorance
and you. Said,
at this age,
mister Amenon just fell there. And
said to Bilal,
step over my cheek. Put your foot on
my cheek.
Said, how can I put my cheek my
foot on your cheek, oh, brother,
when you prostrate before Allah? I have forgiven
you. And they hug each other and they
cry.
The Sahaba used to say,
say,
because he's the one who emancipated said Nabila
and set him free. So the Sahaba used
to say,
say,
Our master,
And you know what the prophet
did in fact, Hamakkah when he entered Makkah?
Who climbed on top of the Kaaba to
chant the Adan? Who?
The prophet asked Bilal and
chant the Adan
to calculate
this faith.
You
used to torture him?
See what Islam did and elevated his status.
And now he's at top of the house
of Allah chanting the Adan.
So all those
who
acted to the contrary of the Islamic teachings,
They
are sinners,
sinful,
and they will be held accountable before
Allah Is this clear to you,
Wadhali Ibrahim, please unmute your mic again.
Okay. Meanwhile, you proceed.
We go to the next question here.
Is there a ruling that says you can
only recite a subsequent Surah in the second
raqah? For example, if in the first raqah
one recites Surah Al Aklas, he can only
recite either Surat Nas or Surat
in the second raka. I hope I am
clear, Barak Lafiq.
Yeah. This is,
that maintaining the sequence of the reading.
Maintaining the sequence of the reading that you
follow the order,
chronological,
the order of the Surahs
at the age of the Mus'af.
That's that is the best thing when you
are reading.
But if you read
a Surah
before
it,
you read Surah.
Had the new read the Surah that came
before it.
That is permissible and your is correct.
Because the prophet when he was praying at
9,
he started with the baqarah,
then
he went to Nisad, then he went to
back to Al Araba.
So he did not maintain the odor.
Is this clear to the questioner?
We go to the next question.
I have read that a woman who has
regular discharge
should make wudu after each salah enters.
However, the family members I pray with find
it an inconvenience
that I make wudu after the adhan
and would prefer me to make wudu before
the adhan
with the intention of each salah.
Is this acceptable?
Also, if a woman with this condition goes
out and the salah time arrives
and there is no bathroom for her to
clean herself for salah time,
but she has
access to water, is it sufficient
for her to make wudu and pray in
this state?
This is now
the discharge, natural discharge of women.
That's tongue less opinion.
First of all, it is. It is
pure. It's not negus.
And if a woman takes wudu
and then it came out again.
Is correct? And how is correct? And he
can carry on?
The same thing if he is
this this child is coming out during the
Tawaf while she is doing the,
around the house of Allah.
Is correct, and she should continue.
This is the opinion among scholars.
This is also the opinion of and
others.
So
you take the wudu when you go and,
for your salah, and then if it comes
out, you just continue your salah.
Is this clear to the question?
Insha'Allah, this clear share.
Next question.
Assalamu alaykum unibu Sheikh. May Allah preserve you.
Is it permissible to stay in the dorm
the whole day?
It closes from morning to Asr. I miss
out the jamaah.
I do that to stay safe from the
fitan of at Tabar Roj as the masjid
opens around Duhur.
Now don't miss, if you are, of course,
I'm sure he's a man, of course, you
know.
So lower your gaze and don't miss the
jama'ah. Don't miss the jama'ah.
But
mind your steps, lower your gaze.
But don't miss the jamaah
if the Masjid is very close to you.
This is my advice for you. May Allah
strengthen our ima and may Allah increase your
taqwa, Ami. This is clear to the question.
Insha'Allah, it is clear, Sheikh.
Next question. Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
May Allah accept from you, Sheikh Amin.
My question is I have
I have a book that I purchased many
years ago,
and recently, there has been
a furor regarding
the author
which links to our lesson today.
What should I do with the book?
They've mentioned the book and it's, individual who's
come out
with regards to,
grave worshiping, etcetera, recently.
I no longer wish to be part of
I no longer wish for this book to
be part of my library collection. Please advise,
may Allah guide the brother and us all,
Ami.
Ami.
No. No. No. No. See,
we should not also go to extreme as
well.
Books that were correct.
Books are according to the belief of Alusunder
and Yamah.
Okay?
So what is wrong of keeping them?
Because what is there is correct.
It's not
the information is correct information.
And the author was
on the right path
when you
wrote
that
book.
So there's no harm in keeping the book
because there's nothing wrong with the book.
As a matter of fact, they should remind
you I'll keep making duhav for the author.
And this is what I beg all of
you, my dear brothers and sisters,
to pray for those brothers.
Keep them always in your sujood.
Pray for them.
May Allah
bring them
back
to the
to their brothers and sisters.
They have this is Shavuot. They were exposed
to Shavuot,
and
they are suffering because of that now.
So Allah
is able
to guide all of them.
So just make dua for all of them,
and at the same time,
we hold our tongues.
Just make dua.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guide all of
us and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep
us to remain steadfast
on the Deen Amin. Is this clear to
the questioner?
Charlotte, it's clear, Sheikh. We go to the
next question.
Dear Sheikh,
please could you explain how to calculate zakat?
I am a female, and I am the
sole breadwinner for me and my young son.
I work full time, rent my property,
own a car, and some gold and silver.
Other than this, I have some savings,
some of which is in an investment plan.
I
never
had my jewelry weighed,
but I estimate
and usually give more rather than less. Is
this still okay?
The Zakah
in Islam, there is something called
nisal, which means specific amount
you have to possess. So when you have
that amount,
which is actually the price of 86
grams of gold.
So if this amount of money you have
and one complete
lunar year
elapsed,
then at the end of the year and
most of the Muslim, they give Zakat of
Hamadan.
So that's how they they calculate the zakah
of Ramadan.
So
when
time comes, Ramadan comes, you calculate
what you have. How much cash do you
have?
Gold,
how many grams do you have? If it
is
86
golds and above,
then you have to give the zakah according
to the
the selling price in the market.
Not the buying price, the selling one, if
you want to sell it now.
So you multiply the number of grounds you
have
into the price. So now you have amount
of money, cash.
Add it to the cash you have in
the bank
and give 2.5%.
2.5%.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Inshallah,
it's clear, Sheikh. We go to the next
question.
Assalamu alaikum. Assalamu alaikum, Sheikh. My question is,
our authentic scholars are decreasing.
Many of our great scholars have passed away,
getting old. Why are we not getting replacements
of them? Is this the sign of the
end of times?
It is a sign of the end of
times.
That's why
I hope that inshallah, you
will be successors.
I hope that you would be successes, my
dear brothers and sisters.
Yeah. Right?
We are leaving.
Students of Noli are leaving.
Our ulama
The Ummah needs scholars.
So if your brothers and sisters,
you don't have this eagerness
to learn
so that you will take the banner
and learn the deed.
It is scary, I agree.
Frightening. Yes.
But if you roll up your sleeves, my
dear brothers and sisters,
and decide
that
we will learn our deen,
we will give time for our deen,
then Alhamdulillah.
Allah will bless your efforts
and the journey will continue
So that
when the old generation did pass away,
they are their students are taking
the Dawah on and teaching the people
and guiding them.
But
leave,
and no successors
to take their place.
So who will guide the Ummah?
The fools, the ignorant,
and they will mislead the Muslims.
So this is what
I ask all of you, my dear brothers
and sisters.
Each one say
that I want to
be
a
and
take it very serious and put your plans
under.
Allah, in this time, made it very easy
and possible.
Sisters at home, they can learn the deed
while she is at home.
There are colleges online
teaching the guitar and sunnah.
There are the fatawa and of all the
scholars who passed away
on the online.
You can open the book and listen to
the Sheikh explaining the book.
So
no excuse
for anyone.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with barakah in
the lives of our Ulema,
and may Allah
bless the students of knowledge, Ami.
Is this clear to the questioner?
We'll go to the next question.
As a mother of a young boy, often
I do wudu, and I'm about to start
prayer. And right at that moment, he my
son needs me to wash him on the
toilet having done his,
business.
Does this break my wudu?
Or can I simply
wash my hands and then continue to pray?
Sometimes I tell him to wait until I
finish praying, but then feel guilty feeling that
I should have washed him
first. Inevitably,
it affects my hushu in my salah. Sometimes
it's just simply bad timing from his part,
but
I feel confused
to what the right priority order is. Zakkulah
said for clarification.
Alhamdulillah. Your will not be nullified. Just wash
your hands.
So before you,
you, you go for salah, you ask the
child, do you want to go to the
toilet?
Because I'm going to play. I don't want
you to disturb me. So if you feel
now you need to go to the toilet,
let us
go and take you to the toilet.
K?
But
cleaning the child does not break one's wudu,
and that's what we explained that to our
hadith.
The hadith would say that it will break
the wudu. So if you come, by the
way,
that your son of
the saying that if you touch your private
part, it makes a wudu or the private
part of any somebody else
because he is following the hadith of Busra,
and we explained that.
So the strongest opinion, we can apply both
the hadith, and the hadith of Busra is
only applicable
if someone touches his private part seeking
pleasure,
desire, lust.
So
the wudu is valid and your sarah is
valid. Is this clear to the questioner?
Inshallah, it is clear, Sheikh JazakAllah Khair. And
that was our last question for today.
JazakAllah Khair, thank you very much for your
time, Sheikh. If you'd like to conclude
today's session, Inshallah.
May Allah bless you. May Allah protect you,
preserve you, and you and your families. May
Allah
strengthen our iman and your iman.
And may Allah keep us remain steadfast on
this beautiful deen
till we meet him and he's pleased with
all of us. Ameen.
May Allah unite our hearts in the Haqq,
unite our ummah in the Haqq, and guide
our brothers and sisters
to the Haqq. Ameen.
And may Allah reward all of you
immensely for your patience and attendance until we
meet,
Incoming session, I leave you in Allah's company
and protection.
