Okay. Let's just begin.
Brothers and sisters,
and thank you
very much for your patience.
This is our weekly lesson of Masa'il
Al Jahiliyah,
delivered by our beloved Sheikh
Sheikh Salim
Al Amri.
This is actually virtues of Islam. Correct, Sheikh?
Virtues.
Virtues of Islam with our honorable Sheikh Sheikh
Salam Al Amri.
And Inshallah, we'll pass the mic and the
screen to the Sheikh, and the Sheikh can
begin.
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam, today is
our weekly class.
The virtues of Islam
Islam.
And Islam
is teeming with virtues and full of
that Allah made us Muslims.
One of the virtues
which occupy a lofty status in Islam
is the impotent the impotence of the
akhlaq
and
tiam,
the moral values.
The moral values, that is the capture stone.
That is the yard district for any nation.
If they
abide by their moral values, then
their existence
will continue.
The moment they lose their moral values, that's
the end of their existence.
And when we study
the history of the nations
and civilization
that decayed and declined,
the root cause
is the moral decay
the moral decay.
When immorality
becomes widespread,
then that is
the end of such
community.
So the
akhlaq,
the piam,
the ethical values,
the moral values
are very important in the
life
of any community.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
he singled out one quality of the prophet
and he placed him by
mentioning
that noble quality,
and that is
the outstanding
character.
Allah says in Surat al Kalam aya number
4.
Wa'in
naqalah
Allahu Bin Adib.
Indeed,
you,
Muhammad
is a man of
outstanding
character.
You are truly
a man of outstanding,
and that's what Tuhammus
was
known by that outstanding
character,
that noble value.
He was known. Asadif al Amin.
Asadif al Amin. 2
moral values, ethical
ethical
values,
sick toothfulness,
and trustworthiness,
Amana.
As Sadiq al Amin,
that was the
the title of the prophet.
He was known by that,
Asadeq Al Amin.
He is the trustworthy, and he is
the truthful.
Even later on,
when he
informed his people
that he's a messenger
sent to them by Allah
still they trust him,
and they give him their
value
valuable materials.
Keep them with you. We trust you.
We trust you. That's why
when he
migrated to Medina, he left Ali
behind to give the people
their
valuable
things,
which they entrusted him with.
So here, Allah
he singled out the and
he praised him by such
noble
standard of character.
Also,
Allah
teaches us
the Surat Luqman, IS 17 to 19,
about the
importance of these moral values.
So he mentioned
the piece of advice that Luqman
gave to his son, and he was advising
his son.
Allah says,
Upon the tongue of Luqman,
telling us what Luqman told
his
Oh, my dear son.
So now the father
is advising his son.
So he's telling his son,
Oh, my beloved child.
Oh, my dear
son.
So he is mentioning to him
these noble
acts he has to keep and maintain
in his life.
Number 1.
This is what we have to
teach our children.
To do
salah. Salah.
We bring up our children
loving
the salah.
We bring them up,
linking them
to the creator.
Command your children to pray when they reach
the age of 7.
And discipline them
when they reach the age of 10
if they miss their prayers.
So from 7 to 10,
early training, we encourage them.
We don't hit them. We don't
smack them. We don't do anything, only reminding
them.
The child can't start before that pray.
But by the age of 7, now he
is able to
understand.
So here, Luqman
is telling his son,
establish
the salah.
Perform the salah, fulfilling all its conditions and
prerequisites
and all the obligatory
acts in the salah.
So you teach
the child
how to pay and what are the things
that he had to do and he should
not miss, and what are the things that
will affect the validity
of
the
salah?
This is 1.
Noble quality,
righteous deed,
abide by it, and never miss
it. Second thing.
And carry what is good and forbid what
is evil.
K.
Second thing,
enjoying what is right.
Thirdly,
forbid what is evil.
4thly,
and endure
patiently
whatever
befalls you.
So if it happens to you,
understand it, take it,
Endure
it patiently
with patience.
Surely, this is a resolve to aspire to.
So something
noble, you need to strive to achieve it
and to
actualize it in your life and adore yourself
with
by the doing of this
righteous deeds.
Then he continued
his advice to his son.
Well, sir, he mentioned in IS 17
noble
qualities
noble
qualities.
Oh, these are noble qualities.
Now he's warning him against the opposite.
And keep in mind that when we
mention the opposite,
the beauty of what is being commanded,
okay,
becomes
so
vivid
and visible.
Because what will show the beauty of a
particular deed
is the ugliness of its opposite,
the pros and cons.
So now he started telling his son
ignoble,
not noble, ignoble qualities.
And do not turn your cheek in contempt
toward people. You do like this.
You show your cheek and you bend your
neck.
This is called.
It's a sign of contempt, sign of arrogance.
And do not turn your cheek in contempt
toward
towards people
and do not walk through the earth exultantly,
pridefully,
arrogantly.
Well, I can
Don't do that, my son.
Indeed,
Allah does not like everyone
self deluded
and boastful
self deluded and boastful.
So this is a very valuable piece of
advice.
He
is warning his son against these
bad
qualities
that he should not have.
He told him the good qualities,
and now he's warning him
against the opposite.
And it is very important to know things.
The, you know, the good and evil at
the same time.
Because if you don't know evil, you'll fall
into it without knowing. As
K. People were used to ask the about
only good things.
I used to ask him only about evil
matters that will happen what will happen. That's
why
most of the hadith talking about the and
the tribulations,
ad lectures,
I will put it by Hudayfah
so that when you know the evil,
you'll be aware that you will not fall
into that trap.
That's why I said, Nur Umar said,
the handholds of Islam will be untied one
after the other
when people grow in Islam without
knowing
the days of ignorance.
In other words, they will not appreciate the
blessings of Asaph
because they did not experience
the days of Jahiliya,
the anxiety,
the bad feelings,
the sufferings,
the depression.
They didn't go through that.
They grew up in Islam,
so they will not appreciate
what Islam
has given them. And this is a fact.
Muslim today, they do not appreciate
what Islam has provided for them
because they were
born a light, grew up a light. They
did not know,
experience
darkness
and living in the dark.
They don't know that.
So that was was
was afraid of.
That the time will come, generation,
Muslims,
they grow up in Islam. They didn't
experience
the Jahiliyyah,
so they will not appreciate
what Islam has provided them.
Whereas, for example, today,
our brothers and sister who reverted to Islam,
they know
what Allah has given them.
They came from Jahiliyyah.
They came from
the dark.
They experience
that horrible
life.
They are fed up of it.
Now
they enjoy living as Muslims.
And you see,
those are coming from Jahiliyyah into the light,
the the revert
coming from the dark into the light.
And some Muslim children
leaving the light into darkness.
That's what Allah said.
If you turn away,
I will substitute
you
with others
who will not be like you
will be better than you.
So appreciate my dear brothers and sisters the
blessings of the
Islam.
Do not turn your cheek and contempt towards
people.
Do not walk through the earth exultantly,
pridefully,
elegantly.
Walk on earth
humbly
as Allah praised,
the servants of the merciful.
They walk on earth humbly in a state
of humility
down
to us down to us.
When they are provoked by the fools,
They say peace.
They do not
react,
and they do not allow the fools to
provoke them.
Well, that time she will
Why? He told his son. The reason,
I don't want you to have these
ignoble qualities.
The reason,
Indeed,
Allah does not like everyone
who's
Muftal,
self deluded.
He
worships himself.
He worships himself.
That is another idol you worship
yourself.
Self deluded.
For who?
Mostful.
He thinks he is
better than anyone else.
Then he continued
advising his son.
Be moderate in your
pace
in your pace, the way you
Be moderate in your pace
and lower your voice,
but the ugliest of all voices is certainly
the voice
of donkeys,
braying of donkeys.
So here,
he is telling his son,
when you walk, my son, be moderate
when you walk.
Don't run
and don't move
slowly.
Be moderate.
See the when
he walks,
they describe
the way he walks
like if he's falling coming down from
high place.
Down like, going down.
And you see the pebbles
are are flying behind.
That's how the prophet
would walk.
Aisha,
he saw a group of
youth
dragging their feet
when they were walking.
Very lazy.
Lazily, they walk,
dragging themselves, pulling themselves.
She said, who are they?
Why do they walk like that?
They told her,
Ubaid.
They are Ubaid.
They are
worshippers.
So that's why they are weak and that's
how they walk. You say, no. They are
not bad.
Was one of the best worshipers of Allah,
and when he walks, he shakes the earth.
He shakes the ground.
See see the Sahaba their understanding
of the
Ibada doesn't mean weakness.
No.
Ibada means
strength.
The humility and humbleness
is here
in the heart.
No need
for you to show signs
that you are a humble person and you
were not.
That's why I said, Nurmag, when he saw
a young man walking like that,
he came and hit him with his hand
under his
chin,
Told him, don't walk like this.
Don't kill our.
Walk as a real man.
That was Sayna Omar did.
So here,
Luqman is telling his son,
be moderate in
your pace when you walk.
Don't yell. Don't shout.
And lower your voice.
No need for you to shout.
The salt of honey is.
But the ugliest of all voices
the ugliest of all voices
certainly is the voice of donkeys.
Donkeys.
You don't want to hear the voices of
donkeys.
You want to hear the
the chirps and tweeds of birds.
That is musical,
not the paying of junkets. They don't enjoy
that.
So he warned his son.
So
the moral values, my dear brothers and sisters,
need to be drilled,
and inculcated.
We need to plant
such values
in the hearts of our children,
and that's what Islam teaches.
Islam instills in the heart of the mumin
the and the fear of Allah,
that Allah is watching
you.
So to be in that state of fear
that Allah is watching me,
the watchfulness of Allah.
When you have that feeling,
so you have this
self reminder,
this mechanism within you
that will keep
correcting you,
reminding you.
Your
the blaming
the blaming psyche
will be
revived
and will be always
vigilant
and remind
you
when you
go off the
lose balance and you go off the track.
So because of this that
Allah watches me.
Wherever I am, Allah is watching me
because I am alone
or in gathering. He sees me.
So that what Islam does.
It instills that belief
into one's
being,
into one's heart.
And this is what we need
to bring our children upon, and that's what
we need
to do to ourselves.
Because
Allah sees everything,
knows everything.
So when we read the Quran, we need
to reflect.
So when a a Muslim has this feeling
that Allah watches me,
so
he will not he or she
dare
to cross the limits
and perpetrate
and commit shameful deeds
As
Allah
warning us
and telling us about his
unlimited
knowledge,
which he encompasses in which he encompasses everything.
Encompasses everything in his knowledge.
This is everything.
He says,
Allah knows of the ticks
that deceive
with the eyes,
and all that the hearts of men conceal.
Allah knows that.
Allah knows the treacherous
eyes,
the eyes that are treacherous,
The dishonest
eye
the dishonest
looks
the lustful
looks.
You look by the end of your eye.
You are sitting
in one's house.
By the end here, you are seeing who
is passing in the corridor.
Allah
knows that.
The host is not aware
that you have seen his daughter
or his wife. He's not aware. Allah
knows that.
This is
the This
eye
is not honest eye,
Tetris eye.
K?
So you are pretending that you are talking
to the host, but you are somebody somewhere
else.
So Allah is saying,
And what the blessed conceal.
What you have in your heart,
Allah knows it.
I don't know it.
He doesn't know it,
but Allah knows it.
Allah knows what is there in your heart.
Allah knows what you conceal
within your flesh. Allah knows.
So when you know this,
this brings about
the fear of Allah and the taqwa of
Allah that Allah is watching me.
So you refrain
from shameful deeds.
You refrain
from watching haram
or listening to the haram, etcetera.
Then Allah says
again
to instill
disbelief
and this
moral value deep
into
our hearts.
10
to 11.
Talking about this vastness of his end, subhanahu
wa ta'ala, his knowledge.
So,
It is the same to him
It is the same to him whether any
of you speak secretly
or
openly,
whether one hides in the darkness of lie
of night
or goes about in broad daylight.
For each one, there are
successful
successive
angels before and behind,
protecting them by Allah's command.
Indeed,
Allah would never change a people's
state
of favor
until they change their own state of faith.
And if it is Allah's will
to torment a people,
it can never be averted
nor can they find a protector other than
him.
Let us reflect.
So Allah is saying,
It is all the same to him.
There's nothing hidden.
Can hide nothing from Allah
Then a several whether
you conceal
or you reveal
to speak
openly or secretly.
Someone,
he commits
his sins at night.
Night night. They call it night wise.
It's not night life. It's night
death.
You're killing the moral values.
K?
Do you think no one sees you?
You are alone?
No one sees you?
Whether one hides in the darkness of night,
So it's all the same to Allah. Allah
sees everyone
whether you sin at night
or you sin during the day.
But those who sin at night, at least,
they have some remnants
of
some conscience.
Because I
they don't want to be seen.
But others,
the same whether night or day, they don't
care.
This is the danger
when the sin becomes public, not private.
If the sin is private,
it's harm
and effect on the community will be less
because no one sees it.
No one sees it. But the moment you
publicize,
you disclose your sins,
and you commit sins publicly,
then it affects everyone.
So the society is affected.
As far as the prophet
said,
All my,
Allah will forgive these sins
except those who disclose,
publicize.
They disclose,
they reveal.
They invite others
to commit sins,
Whether they are singers or actors or actresses,
those are people inviting others
to
commit
shameful deeds.
That's why
you need to enjoy what is right and
forbid what is evil. The evil, it is
what is seen.
Evil that is done behind doors, you don't
see it.
Islam doesn't tell us,
go and knock the doors and break the
doors and see what we are doing. No.
But the things are
committed
openly and publicly.
That's why the prophet said,
Whoever sees something evil
should change it with his hand
or talk about it or hate it in
his heart, and that's the weakest level or
the weakest degree of imam. K?
Whether he commits sins
at night or during the day.
And
now sins are committed during daylight.
*. Beach is for * *.
People like animals like animals naked.
Making love to each other.
You just move.
You don't
mind your business.
So when such communities and such societies
reach that level,
they are doomed.
Doomed.
Stunned, the end of their communities,
the end of their communities.
So Allah, after he
informed us that whether
you commit sin during the day or the
night, I know all that.
It's the same to me.
It doesn't make any difference.
Then he told us that there are angels
with us.
See, my dear brothers and sisters, Allah appointed
2 angels.
Don't we feel
ashamed of ourselves?
Sure.
2 angels are watching you.
1 will write the good deeds. 1 will
write the
misdeeds.
And Allah
is here also mentioning to us
his blessings
that he made angels,
created them
to protect us.
That's why, my dear brothers and sisters,
none of us can be graceful enough to
Allah.
Because his blessings
are
innumerable.
We cannot count them.
If we sit down and try to count
them, we'll not be able to do that.
We in turn
If you try to count Allah's blessings,
you cannot count them.
So here, Allah is mentioning
this blessing,
protection of angels
to protect you, oh human being.
These successive
angels,
group after group.
Some they spend the night with you. Some
they spend the day with you.
So there are agents
who are always there to protect you.
Before
and behind him. What
do they do?
They protect him,
protecting them,
children of Adam,
by Allah's command. So means
So means
back.
It's not from.
They protect you from Allah's command. No one
can protect you from Allah's
command. So
means.
So
they protect you by Allah's command.
K?
Remember,
many
talks
when we mentioned the meaning of the bat,
This
ba, the letter ba
has many meanings in Arabic.
So at Numeric, the grammarian has said,
if you recall,
So the bat
can mean
That means I wrote with the help of
the pen.
So means
with the help of the pen.
The pen.
It makes
the intransitive
verb transitive verb.
If there is a transit intransitive
verb, I want to make it transitive, I
need to use the.
Okay? For example,
is intransitive verb. It doesn't take object.
There's no object.
Is a verb,
subject,
no object
because it is
It is intransitive.
So if I want to make
an intransitive
verb
intransitive
verb, I have to use the back.
That's why Allah said, insurat al baqarah,
Why the back came here?
In order to make the verb which is
intransitive
into transitive verb.
So that's why the back came. So.
Also, the,
it comes also
for compensation,
substitution.
For example,
you say
I bought the book
by 1 dirham
or for 1 dirham.
So bidirham,
this means
the value of 1 dirham.
So the dirham becomes the value, the price
of the book.
So I gave the seller
the dirham,
and they took the book.
So I compensated
him. I took the book, and this dirham
is the compensation.
This is the price.
So that is the meaning when ibn Malik
say,
for the compensation
Also, the, it means when there is
contact
between 2 things
with 2 things. As Allah
said,
k?
So here, what does it mean?
It means there is a contact
between the hand
and the hair.
So this is back for that
physical contact
physical contact.
Like, also, the value I mentioned in the
ayah,
with the circumvallate and in circle and go
around
at the back. Why the back here?
For this contact, you have you can't use
this do the circumvulation,
the
and you are almost touching
in contact
with the house of Allah, very close to
the Kaaba.
Also,
it means
nah.
Nah. With
the, also, it means it comes and it
means
with.
For example, you
say,
I sold the house
along with
its furniture.
I sold the house with its furniture.
The
means with the furniture.
The furniture also included
in the transaction.
Also the bat, it comes, and it means
from.
And here,
in this means
That's why
you need to learn Arabic
to understand the
Quran. So Allah created these angels, successive angels
to protect you from before you and behind
you.
Then Allah said,
Allah will not change our situation.
He blessed you. He gave you a blessing.
Allah will not remove that blessing
and remove that
that
favor,
bounty
until
you change, you become rebellious.
You start
to wrong yourself.
You sin.
Then Allah change your the situation.
Countries that are today suffering, they have famine,
starvation.
50 years back or
more or less,
they were living lavish life,
but they did not thank Allah.
Extemigant life.
So they did not thank Allah
So Allah removed.
That Christianness,
that fortune,
and they became poor.
So
when you become rebellious,
Allah
will change your situation.
But if you are grateful and thankful to
him,
as a matter of fact, Allah will multiply
and
his blessings more and more on you.
If you thank Allah,
If you thank Allah, you are grateful,
Allah will increase you.
But when you become ungrateful,
Allah withholds
his blessings.
He withholds that.
He withholds the rain,
start having drought,
shortage of water.
The livestock
die,
and you have famine
and starvation.
So
indeed, Allah would never change a people's state
of favor until they change their own state
of faith
to begin
rebellious.
What
is,
And if Allah
wills
to torment people,
punish them,
no one can save them.
It cannot be a burden.
No one can save them.
Nor can they find a protector
other than him
Then Allah
also
says
reminded
us about
this importance of
the
and the and
these moral values that should be embedded,
instilled
in our hearts
that Allah
is theirs.
Allah is seeing me. Allah is watching me.
Allah says,
78.
Do they not know that Allah fully knows
the evil
thoughts
and secret talks,
and that Allah is the knower of all
and seeing.
Don't they know
that Allah knows
their secrets?
Knows what they conceal and what they reveal?
Don't they know that Allah fully knows the
evil thoughts
and secret talks?
Nothing is hidden from Allah.
Allah.
See, my dear brothers and sisters,
the enemies of Islam
are working along the clock
to harm the Muslims
247.
All of them are one hand against the
Muslims. Oh,
And
the last thing then
is seeing the conspiracy,
the plots, the planning. He sees everything,
And he
only wants 2 things from the Muslims. If
the Muslims
do these two things,
he takes care of them.
They will take
care
of
us.
2 things,
patience,
and taqwa,
feeling
Allah. If you are patient and
mindful of Allah,
thinking of Allah,
feeling Allah
Their
their planning,
their
plotting
will not harm you the least
because
I defend you.
Allah defends who?
He defends
those who believe.
So we need to be true movement,
then
you don't
think, and you should not have
fear in your heart
from them.
We fear Allah.
Allah is about everything. You
see, the Mujahideen,
In the history of Islam, when they were
fighting,
the colonizers,
they used to tell them,
the colonizers, they have flying machines. They throw
fire from above, from the sky
to they will kill you. So
the propaganda,
the machine of the propaganda of the colonizers
spreading that
to intimidate and to frighten the mujahideen.
So they have flying machines. They throw fire
from top
on
you.
But see what the
does and what the iman does.
The Mujahideen
would say,
who's above the other?
The flying machine is above Allah or Allah
is above the flying machines?
This is dark.
The answer, no. Allah is above the flying
machines.
So don't worry. The one who's above the
flying machine
will protect us,
and they would bring down
the airplanes
with small,
symbol
rifles.
They look at the plane, they
shoot,
and that bullet will go
to the pilot.
K. Bring him down.
So Allah is saying,
It is not you through. It's Allah.
Allah.
When the prophet he took a handful of
sands and he threw it,
Allah
told you Yes. What you did, you throw
it.
But who made every single
sand piece of sand
to go to the into the eye of
the mushrike?
That's piece of handful of sand. Who took
these sand particles
to the eyes of the Mushriks?
I did that,
The grains of sand?
I am the one who carried that. I'm
the one who throw it into their eyes.
So Allah is saying
Do they not know that Allah fully knows
the evil thought
and secret talks,
and that Allah is the knower of all
And
the prophet
said
personal.
This is part of the mission of the
prophet
said, I was sent to perfect
good character.
Good character. Perfect date.
And Arab poet
said,
The meaning,
nations
exist
only
as long as
their moral values
exist.
When their moral values are vanished,
gone,
then they are gone.
Then kiss goodbye to them at their existence.
Today,
this civilization
we see, there's downfall.
The decline, the decay already started
already started.
So nations exist only
when
they abide by their ethical
values, moral values.
Their moral values,
They abide by that,
then
their civilization,
their existence will continue.
The moment
we kiss goodbye to morality,
then we are head heading towards destruction.
When the are
gone, then they are gone.
Then they are gone.
Also, the prophet
said, and this hadith
in
Abu Hurayyah
reported,
a man said to the counsel
me. Counsel me. Give me piece of advice.
So he
said to him,
do not become angry.
Do not become angry.
The man repeated his request
for
counsel,
to be counseled,
to be advised
several times.
And each time he
said, do not become
angry
because anger
is not a noble quality.
It's not a moral value.
It is a noble quality.
You see in the day of my dear
brothers and sisters,
Allah
will call those who control their anger in
the dunya,
and he will tell them, get up.
Get up. Today, I reward you.
The men, get up. You control your anger.
Go. This is your reward,
the holy act.
In another narration, he told the man,
do not become angry,
and Jannah is yours.
Do not get angry.
And he said when you get angry, if
you are standing, sit down. If you are
sitting, lie.
People when they get angry, if they are
sitting, they stand up.
See? They do the opposite.
Because if you sit down, you'll cool.
If you still
if you feel angry, go and take.
You'll cool down.
Also, he said,
The prophet
said, fear Allah
wherever you are.
See? These are the values of Islam.
Fear Allah wherever you are.
Not that you fear Allah in one place
and you don't fear him in another place.
K?
A Muslim, if she's in Muslim countries, she
covers herself.
Now she is going to
a non Muslim country.
The moment she is she sits in her
seat
on board,
She
removes her, removes her
head cover, and now he's showing her
hair, and she's a different person.
Allah watches you.
That's why one of this
used to say
he said if I ask a woman in
the countryside
in his country
to remove
her her
head cover,
he would say, hey. Hey.
So something came for to remove the.
Said, I don't want her to say that.
I want her to say haram.
Big difference.
Haram.
Because if it is haram,
it will be haram wherever you are.
But if it is aid in your community,
it is
unacceptable
in your community, unacceptable
somewhere else, you will remove it.
But if it is haram,
it is haram in Mecca, in Medina, in
New York, in Washington, in London, in Paris,
everywhere.
So fear Allah wherever you
are. Do good deeds
after doing bad ones.
This is the nature of a human being.
We are not angels.
So Allah out of his mercy say, if
you fall, get up.
If you did bad thing, immediately do good
deed after that.
Repent.
The former will wipe out the latter.
So the former is a sin you committed
when you do a good deed, which is
the latter.
So the former will be wiped out
by
the
latter,
by the good deed. So you commit a
sin, do
good deed after that, and it will be
wiped
and behave decently
towards people.
Decently.
Outstanding character,
good way of interacting
and treating
people.
May Allah
bless us with
outstanding characters, I mean.
May Allah reform our Allah, I mean.
May Allah
forgive us our faults,
mistakes,
ignorance, and shortcomings.
May all
keep us to remain steadfast
in this beautiful deen of Islam
till we meet him and find him pleased
with all of us. Amen.
May
Allah bless us with the
beneficent knowledge. I'd like to state
May Allah unite our And may Allah reward
all of you, my dear brothers and sisters,
immensely for your patience,
attendance, and dedication.
Is there an Ajmin?
Oh, I'm just waiting. He's still inside the
room, so I'm just waiting,
for him to come,
Sheikh. Brothers and sisters, please send in your
questions fast.
We have received some questions already. We will
start with those.
You can also ask your questions directly on
the mic, and we will take them direct
and, shall we prefer that
if possible.
Okay. We have received some questions. We will
start with those.
The first question, Sheikh.
Okay. If someone is in need,
so they have to fill a form out
to get help.
The form requires them to state whether they
have
a husband or not.
If the person
in need
has a husband,
can they fill it out
as the husband is also in need of
help?
The answer, no.
Because you are lying.
K? And this is an example for this.
A husband
married a second wife.
K? And he cannot mention that in the
documents.
K?
And he cannot support the second wife,
and he'd say, this is the sunnah.
Mhmm.
Then his wife has to apply for the
dol,
the support of the state.
And she has to lie and say, I'm
not married. I don't have husband.
He he is putting her in that
embarrassing situation,
and she is covered from head to toes.
And he's lying.
And maybe he's pregnant. I'm saying, I'm not
married.
So who's the father of that one?
You are not married, and you are pregnant.
That means what?
You are putting your wife in that position,
embarrassing the state.
So the answer, no.
It cannot lie.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Hopefully, it is clear, Sheikh. If it's not,
they can always question back.
Okay. Let's take a verbal question before we
continue with the written ones. So, Mohammed, if
you unmute your mic, please.
Assalamu alaikum Shay. This is Ayub.
Why do Christians
believe
that Jesus is the son of God?
Excellent. Excellent.
May Allah bless you and bless your parents,
and may Allah
protect
you. And may Allah
make you an imam of Islam,
Amin.
Listen, my son.
Jesus Christ,
Isa alaihi salam, never said in the bible,
they are Christian
friends.
Your
friends, they tell you that. Tell them,
Jesus never said that,
that he is son of god
or he is god
or worship me.
He didn't say that
in the Bible, in your book.
In your Bible, when a man called him,
oh, good master, he said, why do you
call me good?
There's only one who's good, and that is
god almighty.
So Jesus, Aisha alaihi salaam, as we Muslim
believe,
he is just one of the
messengers of God,
not God
or son of God.
No. He's a messenger of God.
And there are some Christians in the history
of Christianity. They believe that he's a messenger
of God
in the history of Christianity.
And they were persecuted, and they were killed.
So the argument of the Christians,
they say the reason they say he's son
of god,
this is because they say they he he
he didn't have a
biological
father
father. He doesn't he didn't have father, so
god must be his father.
That is the argument.
That's why they say that.
Allah my dear son, in the Quran
says,
refuting them,
replying
them
by saying
Adam.
The likeness
of Jesus Christ in the sight of Allah
is like
Adam.
He created him from the earth,
Then he said to him, be, and he
was.
So Adam didn't have father. He he neither
had father
nor a mother.
So he's superior to Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ, did
not have a father only.
He had a mother, Mary.
But Adam,
neither a father nor a mother.
So we tell the Christians by your same
logic,
he must be also Adam, son of god,
because he didn't have
a father or a mother.
So why you say Jesus Christ, the son
of God, and not Adam?
K. So we tell them, you know, we
will help you.
Jesus Christ
is not son of God
in
the sense,
like father and mother,
that he's a biological
father
of
of Jesus
Christ.
That's
why Allah
This
is the answer of the the Muslims.
Allah
Allah begot not not he know that he
was begotten.
And the Christians, they are saying,
Jesus Christ is the begotten son of God.
That is where the Muslims,
they say,
no. That is blasphemy.
So
we tell the Christians, show us where in
the Bible that Jesus Christ said.
What did he say?
That he is son of God
or God himself,
oh, worship me?
Don't you know that in the Bible, the
Bible used the word son of God? Because
this word son of God is used
in the biblical usage
in the bible to means servant of God.
Servant of God.
So
Satan, Shaikhan himself, is also son of God
mentioned in the bible.
K?
So
telling or giving a title that's a person,
the son of God, means just he's a
servant of God.
So we Muslims believe that Jesus Christ never
ever
claimed and said that he is son of
God or he's god or worship me. That's
not there neither in the Bible nor that
that Isa Alaihi Salam
mentioned or said
something like that
in
his lifetime.
And we Muslims believe that Isa is alive,
As Allah
said, They killed him not, know that they
crucified him, but Allah took him up, and
he's going to come back.
We Muslims believe that. And the Christians, they
believe that as well.
So he's going to come back,
and he will not accept from the Jews
or the Christians anything except Al Islam.
Al Islam.
That's why he was going to break the
clause
and kill the swine, and he will not
accept from the Jews and the Christians
the
tax.
Either you become Muslims or
he kills them.
And that is when all of them, the
Jews and the Christian, they will believe in
him.
So this is our belief as Muslims.
Stick to this.
With
the deep into your heart,
and
you should know how to
answer your Christian friends that
the Jesus never said that.
He's not God.
He's not God.
Don't you read in the Bible, in your
book that he went little further?
Went little further, and he fell in his
face praying.
Whom he was praying to? To himself?
Was he praying to himself? No.
He was praying to
Allah
Is this clear to you, my son?
May Allah bless you.
I love you, sir. I love you too.
Okay.
Let's go to the next question.
Dear
Sheikh for your lesson.
I would like to know some details about
Luqman when he lived.
At the time of which the prophet
and from which country country he was from.
I would like to put his advices to
his son in context
in the background of the society
where he lived.
Is it known who was the teacher of
Luqman?
Topic of morale is very necessary to hear,
to learn, and to adapt.
To be honest right now, I don't recall
the details, but
I will note it down.
And in the coming class
remind me,
and I will give you the details.
Next.
Next one.
Assalamu alaikum, dear honorable Sheikh. Allah bless you
and make all of us people of Ahlul
Jannah. Amin. What
about
business?
Business wise, if I invested in a project
and I missed the same funds as this
project,
can
I'm trying to understand the question, chief, reading
it myself.
Okay. If I invested a project and I
missed
same funds as the projects can't be stopped,
therefore, can I invite someone to
inject some amount for a short period?
And I promise him once the program is
completed,
you will get that much of money.
If nothing is
went wrong, you
get your original money that you supported plus
the profit. Okay.
So, this person
had a commitment as part of a business
deal.
He wasn't able to fulfill his commitment. So
is it allowed to bring someone in
in order for him to fulfill his
commitment and promise him that he'll get his
money back and profit
additional to that.
Here,
we have to
differentiate between 2 scenarios.
Did
he bring him
as partner?
If he bring him as a partner,
so now both of them are partners.
Right? So the the new
investor,
he get paid his money.
Okay. So that the project will
will, will go further,
and then they agreed that you are going
to have this,
percentage of the profit.
That's fine.
K? Because now he's a partner.
But if he just
borrowed money from him
and he's not a partner
and he lent him money
on the condition that he will give him
his capital,
the money, and
additional amount, that is rebal.
But this is a loan that generates
benefit,
And this is a riba, and this is
haram.
If he just gave you
a loan, it should be a goodly loan,
and you have to give him back his
money. That's it. No
single
pound extra.
Is this clear to the question?
Very clear, Sheikh. Very clear.
This the next question we'll go to.
Dear Sheikh,
I'm asking about evil eye, Al Ain.
Today, I was in the Jummah prayer and
the katib criticized those who believe in Al
Ain,
and he called them friends of Shaitan.
For him, he defies its existence
and all a hadith are not authentic concerning
it.
He claims that
how would someone
affect
you by just a mere look?
Please shed some light on this.
There's
a saying,
Live until the month of Rajap, and you
will say you will see funny things, strange
things.
So we are living to a in the
end of time, and
ignorant people, they talk about the deen.
The evil eye is hack. It's true.
And there are so many
authentic narrations
about that.
The Quran
tells us also that
regarding the owner of the farmer,
when he entered his farmer,
he didn't say, so
his farmer
was burnt.
Allah tells us about.
He told his children
when they went to Egypt, do not enter
from one gate.
Enter from different doors.
He was afraid of the evil eye.
So the evil eye is true.
The
used to read in Al Hassan and Al
Hussein,
When he saw his the children of his
cousin,
his nephews,
children of,
very weak. He said, what happened? Why they
are like this? He said, this is the
effect of the evil eye.
So he told them, seek
the. Read on them.
So the evil eye is true.
It's true. No one can deny it.
And there are life examples, and the people,
they experience that.
And I mentioned this story many times.
I recall it
from childhood.
Our neighbor was a blind man,
and we had a small
kid kid
animal
friendly
to that kid would come and rub its
body against you and this. So this kid
went close to that old man.
And that old man, he placed his hand
on the back of the kid,
and the kid immediately started.
Kind.
My mother,
he realized
this is the evil eye of the blind
man.
There was a man standing there told him,
slaughter the kid, slaughter the animal before it
dies.
And guess what?
When they skin the animal,
they found the liver. I can see it
now.
The liver
of that animal
slashed
as if you took a knife
and cut it.
My mother carried it to an edge in
her hand,
telling the people, have a look, see what
the evil eye did.
So something I am eyewitness. I show it.
I got a couple.
So the evil eye is true. That's why
the prophet
said,
The evil eye can cause a man to
enter the grave.
It can kill
the evil eye
and can cause the the the camel to
go to the pot, the cooking pot.
But does it mean that
that someone hit an animal with the evil
eye?
So immediately, they managed
to slaughter it before it dies,
and finally, they cooked it. So it end
up in the pot.
So the evil eyes too.
And that's why
you read in yourself. You read in your
children.
You protect your children.
And I tell the mother, read in your
children.
Those who are very small,
protect them.
Don't show
the
smartness
of your children in front of people.
Don't do that.
Maybe someone will not say
and he will be affected
by the evil eye. And there are cases
happened.
All mothers,
some, they breastfeed in front of women. Don't
do that.
If you want to breastfeed your child, cover.
Don't let anyone to see
your child when he's suckling.
Cases happened.
He breastfed in front of women,
and they left, and the child never
touched the breast again.
Also,
you're not putting your the photos
of your children on their Instagram
or film them.
As we see,
many, they do that.
Whether the child is reading Quran or something
else.
Don't do that. The evil eye is true,
and there are many children
got affected
by the evil eye.
Don't do that.
Get rid of this bad habit
where you put
the
the pictures and the photos
of your food
on the on
the net. Don't do that.
So my advice for you, my dear brothers
and sister, protect yourself
and be thankful to Allah
and
protect yourself, protect your children, and to yourself.
May Allah protect you and preserve you,
and may Allah save you from the evil
of the evil. I am it.
Next.
Amin, the next question, sir.
Assalamu alaykum.
I am happy to see you today,
May Allah preserve you. Amin.
Question number 1.
A sister is asking, is it permissible for
someone to live alone?
Live alone. What do you mean live alone?
Leave her family?
Living alone without anyone else in the house,
Sheikh.
Yeah. I want to know. What do you
what does she mean to live alone?
I mean,
if
she doesn't have parents
and no brothers and
she's living in her own
circumstances,
compelled her to be alone
and she is safe and protected,
then there's no harm,
but she needs to have a partner.
If she's not married, she needs to get
married.
Because
when a person is by himself,
then shaitan is dead,
and he will feel weak.
K?
That's why the prophet
he said when you are traveling, if you
are 2, you are 2 devils.
But if you are 3, then you are
raqeb. You are a company.
The chance for
for you to commit haram to agree is
is is less. But if you are 2,
can
tempt you to commit haram. If you are
by yourself,
is easy for him
to tempt you,
to fantasize, and to commit haram, whether to
watch haram or say haram or whatever.
And the
prophet he he forbid
the prophet
he forbid
a person to sleep by himself
alone.
So try to avoid this.
Yeah. It's a few.
And not married, get married
And fear Allah
and keep yourself busy
so that when you go to sleep, you
just go to sleep. You go to bed,
you go to sleep. You fall asleep immediately
because
you don't stay awake and that then the
shaitan comes
and play
and plays with your mind. Is this clear
to the questioner?
Alright. It's clear. Sheikh, next question.
What is your advice to family members who
do not get on well?
My advice for them is to
repent,
k, and see Allah
because this is
evil fruit of sin
most of the time.
So people are
not practicing
their deen.
This is the evil fruit they would reap.
So repentance,
turning to Allah
It's only the that brings this
serenity,
peace
among the family,
obeying Allah
If we
start disobeying Allah,
the everything started
to fall apart.
The relationship becomes sour.
No mutual
understanding.
No love. All these things.
These are the evil fruit of
the
of sinning.
So my advice,
turn to Allah, repent,
ask Allah
to remove
all these misunderstandings
and mend your affairs.
May Allah
bless you. May Allah
make your marital life happy and successful
and pleasing to him, Amin. Next.
Amin, next question.
Okay.
The person who has who has sent this
series of questions,
your first question is unclear. Please resend it.
In a predominantly
Muslim city, can I buy slaughtered chicken or
beef from the market or restaurant even though
I don't know the source of slaughtering,
whether it was done according to sharia or
not?
Will saying Bismillah before eating suffice?
If you are in a Muslim country,
but here saying
majority are Muslim, that means
it's not a Muslim country. Right?
Yes, Sheikh. Majority
are.
Okay.
If what you know that
in your
country that
the
the meat is sold by Muslims and
the abattoirs or slaughterhouse,
k,
are run by Muslims,
So then,
yes, you buy and you don't have a
house. But if you know
that
what is common is that they stun the
animals and they electrocute them,
so they don't slaughter them.
And that is what is rampant and common
in the
repertoires, in the slaughterhouses.
Then you need to ask. Then you need
to
ask. You need to know what you put
into your tummy.
K? You need to know the halal
and eat halal
eat halal.
Also, in Muslim countries,
we know that. Most of the Muslim countries,
they just import meat from outside.
K?
And they sometimes import from
countries
that
they the people there
are not Muslims,
and even
they are not people of the book.
Right?
I can eat an animal slaughtered by a
Christian or a Jew, but I cannot eat
an animal slaughtered by another
non Muslims.
I cannot eat it.
So then you need to ask.
You need to ask.
There's nothing. There's no problem to ask.
Is it halal?
If he says it, it is halal
and you see that that not that he's
saying it is halal and he's selling pork
and alcohol.
I will not trust him.
But if he's selling a lot of stuff,
and so I assume that he's a Muslim
Is this clear to the question?
The next question. Check and show that's clear.
The next question.
There is an association of people, and they
usually contribute financially among themselves in the form
of fixed savings,
which will be shared
among them by the end of the year.
There is a committee among the members responsible
for the running of the activities
of the association.
So if they have a small get together
by the end of the year and double
portions of meals
is given to the committee without the consent
of the other members,
should one eat the second portion or give
it away to the media? Kindly note that
I was not aware from the onset
that I'll be given double portions because I
wasn't part of.
But first of all,
they are group of people. What they do,
they they everyone pays a certain amount of
money and
It's written they financially
contribute
among themselves in the form
of fixed savings.
What does it mean by do they mean
by that?
I believe, Sheikh, they will
save funds from their excess money
so that at the end of the year,
they will just put it together and share
it amongst themselves.
Okay. Let's say that, and they pay all
the same amount?
Okay. Would you mind asking the questioner to
send the question resend the question with details?
K?
Yes. Inshallah, a questioner is aware of that.
Please send in your question with more details.
The next question, Sheikh.
My friend's sister's wedding
my friend's sister's wedding will take place.
The sister wants to do her makeup done
from a salon, and she doesn't maintain her
hijab.
My friend maintains full hijab, and she wants
to know
if she'll be sinful if she accompanies her
sister to the salon as the sister will
be in front of non Mahram in the
wedding later on.
If there is a way to avoid that,
do so.
If there's a way to avoid it,
do so.
Don't help her.
But if you are forced,
go to Lebanon.
Next.
Yes,
The next question.
If someone misses a prayer for reasons other
than sleeping or forgetting,
For example, a woman in is in car,
and there's no place to stop to pray,
and
the haram time has already started when she
reached home.
Does she start the missed prayer right away
or after the haram time ends?
She misses her prayer because she was traveling
in a car.
Okay. So now she reaches she reach home,
and the time already
over. It's not time for that prayer anymore.
Right?
Correct,
sir.
Okay.
Here,
if someone
is traveling
and the
the car or the bus will never stop
and you are
going to miss your prayers.
Then you pray in the car
while you're at traffic,
and you don't miss your prayers.
However, you didn't do that.
K.
Now you reach home.
So it is not now
time. It is other. You have to just
make it up. So the moment you reach
home, you have to pray that prayer, which
you missed.
And next time, if you are in a
similar situation,
play whether you are
in the car or wherever you are,
and there's no way to stop,
then you
pray in,
while you are traveling and don't miss your
prayers. Don't miss your prayers.
Is this clear to the question?
We go to the next question.
I have a neighbor who I love purely
for the sake of Allah.
She doesn't have a family close by.
I feel like she is a bit distance
now
or distant now.
I tend to contact her now and again
to see how she is.
I recently sent her a message, and she
responded that she makes for me
wherever I may be. And if I am
okay, that's okay.
I feel like I shouldn't bother her. Should
I continue to contact her?
If she is close to you, next job
okay. So
you
pay her visit.
If he and you knock 3
knocks, she didn't open that one. I'm fine.
Occasionally, from time to time, ask about her,
how are you, things like that.
Maybe she decided to be
distant. She doesn't want to have this relationship
anymore.
Okay.
The hearts are
in a large hand.
So just keep praying for her.
That's it.
So maybe she has her own reasons why
she doesn't want.
So you rectify your and do things for
the sake of
Allah Is this clear to the question?
Hopefully, it is clear, Sheikh.
We go to the next question.
If if I am a businessman
and into buying and selling of goods,
if I put a fixed percentage,
say, for example, 10% of the cost price
of my goods
as the profit margin of those goods,
does the fixed percentage
fall into reba since I have taken the
negotiating
negotiating power away from the buyer.
No.
It's not reba.
It's not reba. Okay?
This is the merchandise.
This is the product.
This is my margin.
This I sell it at this price. You
want it? Take it. You don't want it?
Leave it. That's it.
It's not very bad. It's not very bad.
Next.
Sheikh, that was our final question for today.
If you'd like to conclude.
May Allah
bless you. Bless your family. Protect you. Protect
your family. May Allah elevate your status in
the
May
Allah keep us remain steadfast in this beautiful
deen
till we meet him and find him pleased
with all of us. May
Allah unite our hearts. May Allah unite our
Until we meet in the coming
session,
I leave you in Allah's company.
