Now we're ready when you are.
I'm ready.
Okay. Let
us
begin,
and welcome
to our 18th lesson of virtues of Islam
with our honorable Sheikh Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
I will pass the mic and the screen
to the Sheikh, and the Sheikh can begin
insha'allah.
Our weekly class,
the virtues of Islam,
this beautiful deed,
which is indeed the solution
for all the problems
of
humanity.
And today, we'll be talking about how Islam
addressed the issue
of faqal,
the problem
of prophecy.
So how Islam
dealt with that?
As you know, poverty or the of
when a person
cannot find
the the main
things to to meet
his want,
When a person is in that situation,
that person can do anything
just to survive.
So Islam
provides the solution of this problem.
The issue of the faqat, the issue of
poverty
through the system.
So Islam
imposed
upon
its
followers
certain percentage
of their wealth
to be given to the poor.
So the
Allah who
created us
and who knows
the human psyche,
that if the rich
ignore the poor,
what will happen?
They will be
gap. No doubt.
Second thing,
the
poor class will hate the rich class,
and this might reach
lead to
conflict
between the 2.
And the poor class
naturally, will hate the rich class,
and they wish destruction for them.
But if the rich class, they take care
of the poor class,
and
improve their
standard of living
by giving them
from their own wealth
2.5%,
then
naturally,
love will
dominate.
Love will spread throughout
the community.
The poor class will love the rich class
and will pray for them,
and they will not envy them or hate
them because
there's a car.
It is called because
it purifies
one's heart.
It purifies the heart of the rich
when they give out
because
man by nature
is greedy.
He loves money.
He loves wealth.
But to manage to
take part of it and give it freely,
that means
this person managed to overcome that greed,
that desire and
love for
money,
for the wealth.
So he purifies himself.
So that's why it's called zakar.
Zakar because it
causes tazkiyah. It
brings
purity to the heart.
So Allah
with your brothers and sisters
tells us
in the Quran.
Take, o Muhammad,
from their wealth,
a charity,
by which you purify them
and cause them increased
and invoke Allah's blessings upon them.
Indeed, your invocations,
your prayers
are reassurance for them,
and Allah is hearing and knowing.
So here Allah
commands his own prophets,
to take from the wealth
of the rich.
Sadaqa.
So it is a command from Allah,
imperative.
Because sadaqa, the zakah, is one of the
5 pillars of Islam.
One of the 5 pillars of Islam.
So if a Muslim denies
the zakah,
the obligation of the zakah,
then he's not a Muslim
because he denies one of the 5 pillars
of Islam.
And that's why
Shayna Abu Bakr suedeep of the allahu anhu
win Banu Hanifa,
the people of Musa'ilama
refused to give the jaka'ah. He fought them.
And he said, by Allah, I will fight
whoever and whomever.
Differentiate between the salah and the zakah.
They were praying. They were fasting.
Only they say the zakah, we were not
give we used to give it to the
and not the
he passed away.
So Abu Bakr
he fought them
and forced them to give the zakah.
So because it is one of the pillars
of Islam,
and it is the right of the poor.
The zakat is the right for the the
poor,
the needy, the destitute.
This is their light.
When
our prophet,
he sent Mu'adh to Yemen,
and he informed him what to start with,
the.
Right?
As in Bukhari.
So the first thing you ask them to
you call them too is to believe in
the oneness of Allah.
If they obey
and they accept,
then inform them that Allah imposed on them
5 prayers
a day.
They accepted that,
then informed them
that Allah imposed on them charity,
to be taken from the rich
from the rich among them and given to
the poor among them.
This is the
the wisdom of the zakat. The zakat
is taken from the reach of the same
area
on the same country
and given to the poor people in the
same country.
We don't send it
abroad,
and this and until
it becomes surplus.
And the people in the country, they are
not in need of it.
But first,
the same
jakah is distributed in the same area, in
the same country.
So you take the jaka'ah from the rich
and give it to the poor.
And he told Mu'ad
and avoid the best of their
wealth.
You don't pick
the the best
item. You don't pick the best camel
or the best cow. You take from the
average.
So here Allah
is saying, commanding his
This,
you take it from them
to purify them
by which you purify them because
you by giving the money out,
you purify this soul, and you get rid
of that greed
that greed. So
it purifies you
and
also makes you grow in spirituality,
makes you grow in imam
when you give out.
So the so the the sadaqa, the zakah,
it purifies you
and as and then builds your iman
and gives you purification
and increase.
And this is the barakah, the blessing of
giving zakah. When you give the zakah
among the
the zakahmis,
numu,
growth increase.
So when you give the zakah,
your wealth will not diminish.
Your wealth will not decrease.
Indeed, it will multiply.
It will boom. Your business will boom,
will increase
because Allah will
put blessing
will bless it.
K.
So you will your business will be profitable.
You will make a lot of profits
because there's blessing. There's Baraka.
But if you
refrain
because nowadays
no one can
force you to give the zakah.
There's no Abu Bakr radiAllahu anhu.
Though it is possible
nowadays
to take the zakah from
the people if they refuse
by force
because you know their bank accounts
and you can't take the zakah
the state, I mean.
So
zakah,
if you
stop giving zakah, what will happen to your
business? What will happen to your wealth?
It will be void
of the barakah.
No blessing in it.
No blessing.
Allah will remove the Baraka.
And the blessing and Baraka is something you
cannot calculate.
Cannot.
There's something beyond our comprehension.
You find
people,
this
person and this family,
their income is high.
And at the end before the end of
the month, the
head of the family
is almost broke. He doesn't have any money.
That money
vanished like that.
On the other hand,
there's another
person
whose salary is not that much,
and he manages
and he lives well with his family.
At the end of the month, he can
still save.
How do you calculate it?
He cannot
understand it, the secret of it.
But there's Baraka, Allah puts Baraka in this
salary, and that salary has no Baraka,
simply.
No Baraka in it, no blessing in it.
That's why the prophet
he told us when we eat, we get
together and we say,
and the love, he puts Barakah in the
food.
A food of 1 will be sufficient for
2,
food of 2 will be sufficient for 4,
etcetera.
This is the.
So the
the
the
brings about the
the purity
to the heart,
inclement
in your income, your wealth will be
increased, will be multiplied,
and you will get rid of your greed.
Which means pray for them.
Pray for them.
Ask Allah
to bless their
wealth, to bless their business.
Indeed, your
salah means here the dua.
I'm because the meaning of salah is dua.
The meaning of salah is
dua, prayers.
So your prayers,
your supplications,
your invocations
are reassurance for them.
And Allah
is hearing and knowing.
So this is how Allah
adjusts the issue
of the poverty in Islam through the zakah.
So we have to give the zakah.
And believe me today,
if every Muslim, those who are well off
the rich one,
they give the zakah, you will never find
a poor Muslim
all across the globe.
You'll never find.
Just buy if everyone
gives the jakar.
Also, Allah said,
34 to 35.
All believers,
indeed, many rabbis
and monks
consume people's wealth wrongfully
and hinder others from the way of Allah.
Give good news
of a painful atonement
to those who hold
gold and silver,
and do not spend it in Allah's coast.
So here Allah say,
He is telling us
the mumineen.
He tells the Muslims.
Indeed, many rabbis
k. So the rabbis,
Bahba are
the learned men, the scholars of the Jews,
and monks,
the learned men among the Christians.
And this is a fact.
Even today,
they take the people's money.
All
those bible thunders, all those bleachers,
they take,
and they raise donate donations
and take the money.
They consume people's money,
the poor.
They always ask them, donate, donate, donate.
And they eat that money.
As Allah said, Allah
who is
watching
and see the procession of the Quran.
Quran didn't say other rabbis and monks. They
eat. No.
But many of them.
See the furnace in the
in the Quran?
Allah did not generalize.
He didn't say all of them did. No.
He said
because there are some are bias and there
are some monks
who fear Allah.
And they are not interested
in this the pleasures of this world.
But many of them? No.
In
the indeed, many rabbis and monks
consume,
devour
people's wealth
wrongfully
wrongfully
without any right.
You have to give.
By force.
And on top of that,
they hinder others from the way of Allah,
from accepting the Haqq and the truth.
And those who
hoard
and pile
gold and silver,
those who hoard gold and silver,
They do not spend it in the cause
of Allah.
See,
here,
the last use the word.
Though though this word,
is used for good things.
But here in this context, it is used
in a sarcastic
way.
So
when they hear this,
those who hold
gold and silver
and spend it not in the cause of
Allah.
So they think
oh,
there is hope.
We because I'm saying.
So
the hope develops
in the heart,
but to this surprise,
Oh,
so here,
the disappointment.
Give this glad news and good news of
what?
Jannah?
No.
No.
Painful
chastisement,
painful punishment,
painful atonement
in the hellfire.
So Islam prohibits the holding
of wealth
without spending
without giving the zakah.
But if you give the zakah,
then it is not a treasure anymore.
Even if you have
tons of gold.
If you give the zakah of it,
you are not holding it,
but you have to give the zakar.
But if you don't give,
then
have the glad news
of painful
atonement
in the hellfire.
So this how Islam
addressed the issue of the poverty,
addressed the rich people,
warned them
that you have to take care
of the poor class
and give them their right,
and they have right in your wealth.
That is their right.
It has to be given to them.
Then the ayah to follow that was ayah
34 of October, ayah 35,
Allah says.
The day will come when their treasure will
be heated up in the fire of *,
and their foreheads,
sides,
and backs blended with it.
It will be said to them, this is
the treasure you holded
for yourselves.
Now taste what you hold
it. Taste what you hold it.
But
this what will happen
on the day of resurrection.
You're holding the gold and silver.
Okay. Fine.
And you didn't give the zakar. Okay. Wait.
Then these
coins of gold
and silver
will be hated,
and
then you will be branded by that.
So this how Islam address this issue
because it is a serious matter.
So
to give such warning
and such punishment
for the rich class,
for those who are well off
if they don't take care of the poor
and give them their light,
which Allah imposed upon them. And that's the.
So a Muslim, when he hears this ayaat,
he has to get out
because he doesn't want
to be blinded by such wealth
in Jahannam.
So and this is now I'm reminding myself
and you.
You have to give your zakar.
And women, listen to me, sisters.
Many of you have a lot of gold,
and you don't want it.
Many Arab countries
and other Muslim country, women, they have a
lot of gold,
and they don't want it.
And they don't give the zakah.
And they follow the weak opinions of that
the gold that a woman wears, there's no
zakah.
Yeah. The gold that you wear, if it
for always like a necklace and ring. Yeah.
Maybe. That can be understood understood.
But how about that gold
in stock?
How about that?
So
if you have 85 grams of gold, my
dear sister,
and
more, you have to give the zakar
every year. I don't have money. Sell
part of it and give the zakar
and give the jikah.
Because the hadith about this are so many,
and they are authentic.
So the strongest opinion
about women's ornament
that women should give the zakar.
You don't have money, sell part of it
and give the zakar.
So every year, take your gold and weigh
it.
How much? You know, now the the weight
of your ornament, the weight of your
jewels, gold and silver.
Ask the jeweler,
what's the price of the
gold today,
Big gram.
And
the selling price, not the buying one, the
selling.
And then you multiply the number of grams
by the price of selling
big gram,
and then you multiply by 2.5%,
and you get the
The forest.
So okay. These
bars of gold
heated in the hellfire
and placed on the
Their size, their flanks.
K.
Because that is when
you were enjoying
that king-size
bed.
So you enjoy that wealth,
that fortune.
Now
let that side be blended
with this gold that you
were holding,
and you didn't give it.
You didn't give out
the light of the pool,
the zakah.
So taste it today.
So the fords
are branded.
The sides are branded
and the backs.
K? Your side,
your
back.
Then Allah
This is the treasure.
Okay.
It is painful, isn't it?
Has a mechanism.
This
is the treasure you're holding
for yourselves.
See what the Malaika
will say and how that person,
the one who doesn't give the zakar will
be humiliated.
This is what you're holding for yourself.
So taste it.
Taste your medicine.
Now taste what you hold it.
What you all did.
On the other hand, Allah tells
us
about those who give
Indeed, those men and women who give in
charity
and lend to Allah
a good loan
will have it multiplied for them.
They will have an honorable
reward.
This is the good news.
Which means both men and women, they give
the jaka.
And everyone is responsible for his own wealth.
K? If the wife is well off,
she's rich.
It's not the responsibility
of her husband to give her jakar. No.
Apart from
the jakah of the,
yes, he is responsible.
But the jakah of her own money, she
is responsible.
The zakav her own goal. She is responsible.
If her husband
voluntarily
wanted to do that, that's
good
on his part.
So he takes her gold, and he weighs
it, and he gives the there's a cap
on on her behalf
from his own money.
But if he doesn't want to do that,
he should not be blamed.
And
those men and women who give
charity
and lend to Allah a good loan.
Allah is not in need of our money.
Do we
lend Allah?
Allah is the one who gives us this
wealth.
And then he tells us, loan it to
me, and I will multiply it for you.
Give it to me.
Lend it to me.
Though it is
it comes from him.
He's the provider.
He's the rich.
So Allah
is telling is encouraging us that
gift loans, good loan,
someone who is in need.
Don't force your brother or sister to go
to the bank and take
take mortgage.
You are well off,
so you can help
by giving Babu Hassan
As if you are lending it to Allah.
You are giving it to the your brother
and sister,
but Allah saying that you are giving it
to me. You are giving it to me.
It will be multiplied
many, many, many, many times
more than you can imagine.
More than you can
imagine.
Allah multiplies it.
Till it it becomes in the size of
the mount of
A one date,
1 dollar,
1 pound,
1 euro.
Allah multiplies
it.
You come on the day of resurrection, you
find on the day of judgment.
Oh,
So
we have to give
every day on daily basis.
Train this.
Train it.
Apart from the zakar.
Optional. Voluntary.
Because the sun
in the day of resurrection will be above
the heads.
No shade.
But if you are giving sadaqa, you'll have
shade.
And that shade
will be proportional
to your zakah sadaqa.
How much sadaqah you gave,
then the size of the the more you
give, the
the bigger
the
the size of the shape.
But if you don't give,
you come on that day,
no shade.
If you are
poor, you don't have money.
Your smile is sadaqa.
Helping those who are by physically helping them
is sadaqa.
Removing any harmful
object on the way, on the road.
So you can give.
Yeah. I just
it's honorable
because it is Allah
who multiplied it.
Also, Allah
my dear brothers and sisters, he
directs the community,
the
the believers,
to what will bring to them
this
and what will improve the situation
and what will make their life prosperous.
And they will have,
I mean,
good
state
and good
standard of living.
It is the taqwa.
It is the
taqwa.
As Allah says in
96.
Had the people of those societies,
those towns,
those cities,
been faithful
and mindful of Allah,
we would have overwhelmed them with blessings from
heaven and earth,
But they disbelieve, so we seize them
for what they used to commit.
Allah is telling
us, has the people of the towns, has
the people of the cities,
the societies.
You want Allah to improve
the economical situation
of your country,
of your place.
Everyone has to believe in Allah
and depend and turn to him,
then Allah will shower us with his blessings.
But if
people
sin,
disobey Allah, disbelief,
the first thing Allah does
tells the sky
and tells
the angel in charge of the rain, hold
it.
Hold it. No rain,
drought.
Livestruck, they die.
Famine
because of their rebelliousness.
If they believe
and fear me,
Allah will open the gates.
Rain will come down.
Vegetation will grow.
Livestock will graze
and multiply.
Hello.
Allah is saying,
if they fear me and believe in me,
I am going to open for them.
We would have overwhelmed them,
with
blessings,
from heaven and earth, and also
means
clouds,
rain,
the rain. The clouds are called because anything
above you is called.
Will send the rain,
and the blessings will come from
above
and from beneath.
The earth will bring
its treasures.
For the vegetation,
all the resources in the country
will be discovered.
Gold,
diamond,
oil,
lithium, like,
now recently
in Afghanistan,
saying the amount of this
precious metal
is amazing.
1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars.
Subhanallah.
So if it is
extracted and used, it will be
the richest,
more richer than those countries that export oil
export oil.
So Allah brings the barakah from above and
below.
And
by the way, my dear brothers,
all
countries,
all blessed
Baraka
and treasures in their land everywhere.
Everywhere.
Each country, it has.
So if we
turn to Allah,
believe in him,
and
fear
him, then as he promised
and by the way, Allah will never break
his promise. Will never.
When Allah says something, finish,
guaranteed.
So Allah is saying,
Only 2 things, iman and taqwa.
Repent,
quit sinning,
come back to Allah,
see Allah
worship him,
and get dirty. You will be overwhelmed
overwhelmed
by his blessings.
Overwhelmed.
But instead of repenting
what they did, Allah said, well, I can
cut them all, but
they disbelieved.
They became rebellious.
Leaving
the revelation.
They don't abide
by the revelation
anymore.
They don't follow the divine guidance.
And I can cut the wool.
K.
Now leave your fruit.
What you saw, you will reap.
And you blame no one but yourself?
Well, I can cut the
but they disbelieve.
Said,
We have
taken them,
seized them
for what they used to commit. This is
how Allah is swift.
Allah
said
is very swift
when he punishes
quick.
Don't you see?
The messages,
the warnings
Allah sends to humanity,
and humanity
still heedless.
Hateless.
Humanity
doesn't want to wake up.
Doesn't want to wake up.
This
virus,
you can't see it,
making the whole world on their toes.
And the moment they feel that, oh, okay.
We managed to control it.
A new
variant. Again and again.
Even if we say that
it is manufactured.
Manufactured by the will of the one
above
universally
to punish
us.
Receive them for what they used to commit.
And in the hadith,
k. So he he was a Jew,
and he read about the prophecies
regarding,
about the features of the prophet who is
about to come.
As
Allah
said in the So they know the prophet
as they know their own children.
So he went to check, is he
the prophet, the
the
the
the old testament,
the Torah mentioned?
So he said, when the prophet
came to Medina,
and I went and examined his face,
he looked at the prophet's face,
I recognized that it was not the face
of a liar. This cannot be a face
of a liar.
This face which is like the moon.
The first thing he said
was when he addressed the people.
He said,
all people.
Greet each other.
Spread the greeting of peace.
Provide
food to the needy.
This what Islam
teaches.
Provide food,
and take care
of the well-being of your kindred,
your kids and kin, your relatives,
and
pray at night when people are free.
You will enter paradise in peace.
Another hadith, Muslim
Ahmed. And
Muhammad
authentic Said, one of the companions of Allah's
messenger
told him
that he heard the prophet
say,
the believers'
shade. The believers'
shade
on the day of resurrection
will be his sadaqa.
The sadaqa will form shade for him
shade for him. So if you have,
you'll have shade.
You don't have,
you'll not have shade. And remember,
the sun will be above the edge,
and people will be sweating.
And some people sweat
will reach their knees, their ankles.
Some reach their
knees. Some reach their waist.
Some, the sweat reaches
to their breast, some to their mouth.
Amazing
on that day.
You imagine, we are all sitting standing,
and people are sweating.
But the one next to you, he's not
sweating,
and he has shade.
And his shade
only for him
only for him.
And your sweat,
normally, your sweat
is liquid,
but the sweat will not flow horizontally.
Your sweat will be
will form
like
pond around
you. The sweat your sweat will fall
pond around you.
It will not go to somebody else. No.
This is your own sweat,
and the level will go up like that.
So my dear brothers and sisters, let us
always keep this hadith in mind
and think about that day.
The believers' shade in the will.
Is his
will. His charity
is his shade.
The believers' shade in the day of resurrection
will be his shadaqah,
his charity.
Another hadith
in
The meaning, the prophet
he said,
it was narrated from
Salman, the
but the said,
giving charity to a poor person
is charity, an act of charity, sadaqah.
And giving
to a relative is two things,
charity and upholding
the ties of kinship.
What does that mean?
Giving sadaqah to any Muslim who's not close
to you, there's no blood ties,
is considered to be an act of charity.
But if it is giving to
one
of your family,
whether the close one
or the extended one,
then it will be
consider and treated,
this act of charity and this
as two things. It will be it is
sadaqa,
charity,
and also a means
of strengthening the ties and the bonds.
So you are upholding
the ties of your kingship,
which means the reward is twice.
The reward is twice doubled.
So when you give
your jakar
of Ramadan,
of course,
a Muslim cannot give the jakar
to his
fathers,
father, grandfather, grand grandfather, etcetera,
which we call them
my
predecessors,
my forefathers.
They call them al usool.
These are my roots. I came from them.
And al Foroor, my descendants.
K. So I cannot give to my children.
So you cannot give the car neither
to your
father
and your grandfather
because you are
responsible
to feed them and to take care of
them,
nor to your descendants, to your progeny, to
your offspring, to your children.
But can but you can give your your
to your brothers,
to your sisters,
to your uncles,
to whether maternal or paternal,
maternal and paternal aunts. You can give them
the zakah if they are in need, and
the reward will
be doubled.
The reward will be doubled.
Zainab, the wife of Ibn Mas'ar'ud,
she was well off. Ibn Mas'ar'ud was poor.
See?
He was poor. His income limited.
And he has to give this a car.
So
even this.
So he told her, you can give it
to me,
to your husband.
But go and ask the prophet
So she went,
and she asked Bilal because Bilal was at
the door. She asked him to ask the
prophet
tell him a woman wants to
know. And don't mention my name because she
doesn't want to
to be known so that
Abdulaziz Mers'ud will be embarrassed
because he doesn't want anyone to know.
So she told you, but I don't mention
my name.
And
when she reached there, there was another woman
also came to ask the same question.
And both of them
happened to be their name Zaynab.
So Bilal said Zaynab wants to know, can't
he give the
to her husband?
Said which Zaynab
Subhanallah.
The
he knew his his Sahaba,
his Zaynab. He says Zaynab, the wife of.
He told him, yes. He can, and she
will be rewarded twice.
She'll be rewarded twice.
Another hadith which is in Bukhari and Muslim.
See, this is the beauty of this deen.
Even those who who do not have money,
they can still give,
and they can still have shade on the
day of
the rapture. So Abu Huraira,
may Allah be pleased with him, said,
the messenger of Allah said,
every joint of a person
must perform
Shadaqa,
every joint in the body. And they say
there are 360
joints
just like the number of the years
days of the year.
Is a joint.
Every joint of a person must perform sadaqa.
Each day each day,
all these 360
giants
should give sadaqa.
Each day that the sun rises
to judge
judge to judge between
justly between 2 people is a charity.
So if you
arbitrate and judge between
2 people
with and justly, that to.
To help a man with his mount,
lifting him on it
or hoisting up his belongings
onto
it is a charity.
Someone wants to mount his hose.
So you hold the rein of the hose
and help him to
mount his
his,
his mount and to sit on his house
or his camel or his donkey
or to help him to put his belongings
on that
beast, on that animal,
this is.
And the good word is. You say something
good.
K? Who stops you from that?
If you say to once,
that's
a beautiful word.
And by the way, when you say someone,
that is the best.
You cannot reward someone more than that
when you say.
Some people, they say,
they limited.
1,000,000
times.
Don't say that
because you limited
it. Don't say don't limit it. Say,
here, they say,
and define,
which means
all
all types of.
So don't limit it.
And make sure you say,
Not as,
some Muslims,
they say.
What is this?
What?
Say
it. Don't say.
Just like that.
And the good word,
is shadakah. It's a charity, active
charity.
And every step that you take towards the
prayer to the masjid
is shadakah. Every step you go to the
masjid
a sadaqah.
And removing a harmful
object a harmful object from the road is
sadaqah.
So,
Allah
gave those who do not have money
ways to make.
May Allah
make us among those who will always give,
and may
Allah by his grace and mercy, make us
among those who will be in the shade
of the mighty throne
of his.
May Allah
keep us and remain steadfast in this beautiful
deen till we meet him, and he is
pleased with all of us. Amen.
May Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge and righteous
deeds.
May
Allah forgive us our faults, mistakes, and ignorance,
and may Allah
unite our hearts in the and may Allah
unite our and
the And may all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters, immensely
for your patience,
attendance,
and dedication.
May Allah elevate your status
in this world
and
in. It is the end of today's session.
Brothers and sisters, we'll start the question and
answers time now.
If you have questions, please send them in
fast.
You may raise your hands to ask the
question directly,
which is our preferred,
option of
asking questions.
We will start with some of the written
questions that we have received already.
The first question,
when you give zakah to someone, are you
supposed to tell them that this is zakah
money?
No. No need.
How does one know who is poor in
their community?
You should ask
and know.
The one who gives the Zakah
should know the poor family.
And there are many poor families, and
they don't look they are poor.
And they don't
ask the people as Allah describe them.
They don't ask out of
this.
They have.
They feel shy to ask. So those are
the ones you need to find out and
ask.
You know someone who's working, and you know
his income is not sufficient for him. So
he's eligible for the jakar.
Because some people, they think, oh, he's working,
so he's not eligible. Who said that?
Allah described
the people who had ship and working in
the sea.
And Surah Al Kahf, and Allah called them.
That the belongs
to.
They have ship, and Allah called them.
Mesakim.
So he's working. His income is not sufficient
to him. So he's eligible for this account.
So we need you need
to know, and that's and this is also
the role of the,
charity organizations.
K? They should know and they should have
in the databases,
the poor families
in the area,
and everyone knows
in the neighborhood.
Yeah. Our neighbor, he's very poor.
K? So
it's not just that you give it to
anyone. No.
You give it to those who are in
need.
It is clear to the questioner.
Shala, it is clear, Shay. We go to
the next question.
If a person
does not close their eyes because they see
scary images and are afraid,
is this type of fear not allowed?
This is.
This is from the shaitan.
K?
This is from the shaitan.
So
get rid of it. Buy
the dua, buy the aya, read the aya,
read the adkar,
maintain your wudu,
and you get rid of this this. And
this is not I don't know. It became
so common among the people, the.
K? So the shaitan is very active among
the Muslims.
And when the remedy is there, if you
are in the state of zikr, shaitan will
leave you.
This is your protection against all the satanic
whispers.
K.
So when you are with Allah, you are
in the presence of Allah. You are having
this
divine witness, SubhanAllah.
Allah is with you. So why are you
afraid?
Allah is your protector.
You read Ayatul Khosrow before you go to
sleep. You read the end of Suratul Baqarah.
So you'll be protected from the shaitan, and
no shaitan can get closer to you.
So this is my advice for all brothers
and sister of all because this question became
not so common.
People, they have this problem with this was.
So just get close to Allah
strengthen your relationship with your lord,
Maintain your adkar, your always
be engaged in the care.
Maintain your wudu. Read the Quran,
and
this
all these satanic whispers will vanish.
Next question, please.
Next question,
Insha'Allah. Kasum Basubel, would you like to ask
your question on the mic?
Yeah.
This is.
My question
my question is about
Muslim taking part in in politics.
Like, here in Uganda,
it's a night it's it's it's it's it's
it's it's not a Muslim country,
yet we need we need we need Muslim
politicians
so that the becomes
strong.
Yeah. Okay.
Nothing.
So your question is, can a Muslim participate,
in politics
and
be a member in a political party and
things like that?
Yes, please.
Okay.
Well, first of all,
politics is a dirty game. We have to
know this.
So
if
there's no
benefit
in participating
and entering this
arena of politics,
a Muslim should stay away.
However,
if the Muslims in that country, their scholars
and their students of knowledge,
they feel that they need to form
their own
party
or in that Muslim,
non Muslim countries,
someone who will be represent them
in the parliament
so their voice can be heard,
and they can get their own rights
Providing
that this
is not going to harm and affect
the.
Only
particular group of people will be involved in
that
area in politics.
The rest will carry on doing the Dawa
work.
If that is the case, then there's no
harm.
Of course, these issues are contemporary
issues,
and our masha'i, our scholars differ in it.
Our Sheikh Al Bani,
he's saying,
never enter into politics. Leave it.
And he's right,
And he gave examples.
He said even if the Muslims
win the election,
they will not be allowed to rule.
In their own Muslim country, they will not
be allowed. And in no case,
Live
example. Live example.
However,
see the of Sheikhna
on the night of election in Algeria.
So he's against it,
participating
in politics.
On the night of election, they called him,
the Muslims there,
and they asked the Sheikh.
There are 2 candidates,
Muslim,
practicing Muslim, and secular one.
Which one should we vote for?
He said, of course, the Muslim.
He he will not vote for the secular
and secularist.
He will vote for the
the Muslim.
This how the Muslim should should should, should
react in their country.
Or if even the Muslim, there is no
political
Islamic party,
but some Muslims
are involved in
a one political party.
And this political party,
it is the lesser evil.
Let's say this party,
they is conservative party. They are against
immorality.
They're against all these rubbish things.
They are for the family. They are for
the,
moral values, etcetera.
So
and the Muslims living as minority, they had
no other choice
except to choose 1 of the 2. So
you choose the lesser evil.
Which one
is lesser in evil than the other?
Sheikh bin
when they were asked about this matter,
their answer
differs from what Sheikh Nas said. They say,
go ahead, participate.
If there is
if there is you feel there is something
good, there is a benefit
for the Muslim minority
that at least you can minimize
evil
and get the Muslim minority their rights,
then there's no harm
providing
that you maintain your deen,
and you do not let the politics
influence you
and compromise and leave your deed.
Is it clear to you,
Next question, please.
Because you see,
they said
the same thing Sheikh,
He talked about this issue.
He said, Youssef alaihis salaam
accepted
the post of a minister
in the state, which is capital state.
So he was
as like a minister
in that
state.
And if someone says,
yeah,
but this is
was in the Sharia
of Yusuf,
and it is abrogated.
If someone
poses this
argument.
He addressed this argument. He said no
because
the
issue
is the ruling
here
falls under
it is an issue of the
the,
because we have Isha and Isha,
and it is
part of the,
part of
the belief
to rule
to
rule is part of the belief itself.
So it doesn't fall
under
the
if the insha, which is the do's and
the don'ts, and that is the Sharia.
It falls
under
the issue of the Ikhbar, which is the
issue of informing,
and that cannot be obligated
cannot be obligated.
So when Allah
allowed his prophet
to be a minister
in that state, which is a,
and this is false under
the,
not the,
which is the do's and the don't.
It means it's not obligated.
It's not
obligated.
And even if we say it is obligated,
it is the law
of
the previous nation.
This is also controversial between Muslim scholars.
Can we
take
from the teachings
of the previous laws,
sharia,
A
ruling or a hokum,
which is not prohibited in our sharia.
It's not prohibited in Islam, that ruling.
Can we,
or we leave it altogether?
It is going to worship to Muslim scholars.
Some Muslim scholars, they say yes because Allah
said,
by the guidance of those prophets who preceded
you, follow it.
So we can borrow
something
if it is
not contradicting
the teachings of our deen.
So in a nutshell,
this is an issue of ijihad. Muslim scholars
contemporary
Muslim scholars, different on it,
and it's up to the people in that
country to decide.
I hope this is clear to you.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Let us go to the next question.
Number 1, when giving zakat,
is it possible to limit the circle of
the receivers?
Limit?
Yes, sir. Okay. So it depends if there's
a cash
little amount.
So you if you give it to all
the 8 categories, it will be enough.
And the most important thing, the objective of
the zakah is to make the receiver rich.
So if the zakah is
cannot be divided in among many, yeah, I
can limit it and, and give it.
Yeah.
Next.
Next question.
At the Khutba, the imam stated that we,
Muslims, should get rid of the language of
the colonizer.
Is there any evidence in the Quran and
Sunnah?
The language of what? The colonizer.
I mean, the English
or the French. Well okay.
No. No.
This has nothing to do with that.
This has nothing to do with that.
If the hadith meant
that Khutba has to be in Arabic only,
And people, the audience, they don't know Arabic
as it is now. This is common in
the subcontinent. The Khutba is in Arabic,
and
people, they don't know what to say.
So that's why they
commit they made a bidah in the subcontinent.
They call it Bayan Bayan.
So before the,
they will give that's
what they want to to say in the
will be said in the local language
of the people.
And the will
be reading in Arabic and people they don't
know. No. That's not the purpose of the.
Purpose of the that the people understand what
you are talking. They don't know Arabic, so
what's the use of talking in Arabic to
them?
So you talk to them in their mother
tongue.
That's why Allah
sent the messengers
speaking in the mother tongues of the people
in the mother tongues of the people.
But if the
the khatib and the preacher
meant
that
we should know Arabic,
k,
and
make it priority number 1
because, unfortunately,
many Muslims
and especially
among, for example, the Arab.
K? They are they forget their their own
mother tongue,
And they are proud, my son speaks this
language, that language, etcetera, and he doesn't know
how to speak Arabic.
So if he meant that, the answer, yes.
We have to give priority to the Arabic
language first, your mother tongue,
because that is the language of the Quran.
Without the Arabic language, you will not be
able to
understand the book of Allah and the sunnah
of the Then
there's no harm after that to study
other languages. The Sahaba, they studied
other languages and mastered them.
But first of all, you master your own
mother tongue, the Arabic tongue itself.
Is this clear to the questioner?
We'll go to the next question.
What is the perspective on a person who
missed one salah on a particular day without
a valid excuse for doing so?
Very dangerous.
Sheikh Muhammad
saying,
I remember that he said,
if a person
leaves a salah
intentionally,
he becomes scattered.
So this brother has or sister should repent
immediately.
Repent.
I should never repeat it.
Next question.
Next question. Sheikh, is there any obligation of
zakar on the
gratuity
amount which is accumulated
and received at the end of a service?
No. There's a car when you receive it.
The pension, the amount of money
that will be given to the the to
when you retire,
when you receive that money at that time,
you give the for 1 year. Give for
1 year.
Next.
Next question.
What about if me and my business partner
was handling a running business
with sharing money together, and he decided to
pull his shares
out in the middle of the year that's
before the zakat,
and he refuses to wait
until the end of the financial year.
So he took his money leaving the company
in between rock and hard
place because of import
supplies,
needs money,
and going up.
But I invited other investor to
save the business again. The new investor,
his zakat is behind around 4 months.
By normal time, and he suggested to postpone
my zakat.
And once we reach, we pay the time.
Can I agree with him?
No.
You don't agree. When the time of zakat
is due
and you have cash
and you have
assets,
you evaluate that,
the assets,
and you give the zakah. So the zakah
is the light of the pool.
Cannot play with it.
Next.
Yes. That was the final question.
If you'd like to
conclude. May Allah reward you, bless you, protect
you,
all of you, your families. May Allah
keep us remain steadfast on this beautiful deen
till we die, till we meet him, and
find him pleased with all of us. Amen.
In
the coming session, I leave you in our
company
and protection.
