Alhamdulillah, I'm ready.
Alhamdulillah.
Okay. Insha'allah. Let us begin.
Brothers and sisters,
and
welcome to our weekly thus,
our 21st
lesson
of Ursul Athalathatthalathatthalathatthalathat
or
also known as
the 3 fundamental principles,
which is delivered by our honorable Sheikh Sheikh
Salim Al Amri.
As always, the second half of the lesson
is left for and answers. We take questions
on our Zoom platform.
Those brothers and sisters joining us on Facebook
and YouTube,
you may join us
on those platforms. You're more than welcome to
benefit.
However,
as for questions, we only take them on
the Zoom session,
without any further delay.
And
we have reached where
the
said
that we have to call to this deen,
a dawah to Elahi,
a dawah to this deen, calling the people
to this deen,
to the rahma,
to the light,
to the way true way of salvation.
And in the last session,
we talked about
things that
the dye, the color,
prerequisite
that he should have.
And one of the most important
prerequisite
is the imam,
strong imam,
and strong belief
in his mission and his message
because the Dua'i
no one is better than the Dua'i who
calls
the people to the Hidayah calling the people
to Allah Azzawajal.
No one is better than him.
So he needs to believe
in the dua, in the message which he
calls the people too,
and he sacrifices for that.
And he bears
whatever happens.
And today continue.
There are many assurances
and guarantees being given
by our creator.
Normally,
a human being,
he fears or he is afraid of 2
things
2 things that bothers him always,
any human being,
his life
and
his religion, his risk.
2 things.
These two things,
they are not in
the hands of any anyone, any human being.
They are only in Allah's hand.
So no one, my dear brothers and sisters,
can
shorten your life
or cause you to leave this life
before completing
your life span that Allah
decreed for you.
So then you don't worry about that.
Your life is in Allah's hand. So no
human being whoever
who whoever
is this person,
no one
can cause you to die before your day.
So this gives you inner peace
and the appeal,
and you don't worry about it.
This belief that my life is in
the hand of my lord.
No one can terminate it. No one can
end it
except when my day is due.
This has given the Sahaba
that strong
motive.
Strong motive.
One of them, a person,
the prophet
described him
That
one person is equal to 1,000
horsemen.
1 person.
In one of the battles, my dear brothers
and sisters,
between the Muslims
and the
disbelievers,
and the number of the disbelievers
was so
humongous,
so
huge. They went outnumbering the Muslim by many
folds.
So Zubayr said, Nazar
he
he says and says
that the morale of the Muslim dropped
when they saw this number.
And that's natural.
Human
beings. So he wanted to lift up their
morale
and their spirit.
So he decided to
go through
this huge
number
of the
enemies.
Hundreds and hundreds.
So
He mounted his horse
and he
flew like an arrow
penetrating them.
And said Nasr Bayl
is one of those
who were very skillful.
He would fight with 2 swords
simultaneously.
So he
penetrated the
the army
of the Romans.
So much so
that the Sahaba said
He's martyred.
What is the chance for him to come
out
in this ocean
of horsemen?
To this surprise,
Satan Zubair went through them
and came down the other side,
went again,
came out, went again, fighting.
When they saw the snake, one person's ignorance
was doing that.
The Sahaba said,
we should not be frightened.
K?
They are so weak.
That's how
their spirit was lifted.
The morale was lifted.
Not only this, he came back and he
took his son-in-law to him, and he did
the same.
SubhanAllah.
So this when you have the belief
that you will die you will die one
day.
So going to the army,
not necessarily,
will cause you to die.
And stand away and become coward, that will
not save you all around.
Yes.
In
the
battle fighting the the the Arabs who Banu
HaNebah, the people of the,
of Musa'ilama.
Musa'ilama
was,
he, protected by a huge wall with his
people inside,
the garden, the Hadithah.
The Sahaba, they didn't know what to do.
So one of the Sahaba barricade
and he said,
throw me over the wall.
Throw me over the wall.
Now
what is the chance for him to survive?
They are behind the wall,
hundreds of swords are waiting,
body is falling, everyone gets to to put
his sword like this,
and he would be missed.
Guess what?
He landed safely.
He both goes at the gate and he
managed to open the gate for the Sahaba.
So this is what the belief does. This
is what the does, my dear brothers and
sisters.
I mean, you know
that your life is in a large hand.
So you don't worry about this.
Second thing, your sustenance, your provision
also.
It's not in anyone's hand except in a
large hand.
So you don't worry about it also.
As I was saying and promised,
Your sustenance, your provision is in the sky.
And whatever is you you are you are
promised,
it's
This Allah because some of us are doubters.
They have
doubt, so he said,
by the Lord
by the Lord,
The love of the heaven and the earth.
It is true
that your risk is guaranteed.
How that you are sure when you are
talking, you are verbalizing and uttering and
talking, speaking,
you are confident and sure that I'm talking.
So it is like that.
It is
assured. It is guaranteed.
You have this, so don't worry about it.
So this
beautiful hadith I'm going now to
share with you
addresses this issue.
The meaning in English.
Oh, people.
See Allah
and be moderate in seeking a living.
For no soul will die
no soul will die
until it has received
all its provision.
Even if it that is the risk of
the provision,
it's slow and coming.
But you will not die before consuming
your risk
consuming your wisdom.
So fear Allah
and be moderate in seeking provision,
take that which is permissible,
and leave that which is
forbidden. Let us reflect on the speech of.
Is
addressing
mankind.
Mankind. Be moderate in seeking your living.
Seek it through the halal.
Don't lose hope.
When you ask Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, don't despair,
and you say I have called Allah and
he didn't respond.
Because Allah, as
and Muslim authentically. The substation. And we said
the supplication
of every one of you is guaranteed and
granted
if he does not go impatient
and says I supplicated,
but it was not granted.
So when you ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
so when you call upon Allah, you should
be confident
that Allah will respond.
So you don't worry about the response.
I said, Muhammad said,
I'm only concerned with the Dua. I know
Allah will respond.
I'm not worried about that.
I'm just busy with the Dua.
So being Muslim seeking a living
So no soul will die until it has
received all its list.
Even if there is it's slow and coming.
It's slow and coming because
Allah has a wisdom for that.
Wisdom.
And
in,
another hadith, the prophet said,
When Allah decree that your
is
in this place,
he sends you to that place.
He sends you to that country
to take your risk there.
When your risk in that country finishes,
and it is now yeah. Somewhere else you
have to take it,
something will happen.
Circumstances
will take will take place,
and you have to leave and go to
another place.
And you'll
take your risk in that area in that
place,
and
when your risk was over, you would die
there.
You don't know what you're going to earn
tomorrow.
And no one single one, no human being
knows where he's going to die.
Go to the
cemetery, to the graveyard,
and see
the people there.
Where was he born?
What brought him here?
He was born
in the subcontinent
and he died in the UK.
What brought him to the UK? Isn't it
isn't it?
So you don't worry about the your life,
your life is fine,
and you don't worry about also about your
sustenance, your religion.
So fear Allah and be more than in
seeking the rest of the religion.
Take the that which is permissible, which is
halal.
Don't earn harm.
Illicit
gains. I live that which is forbidden.
Another beautiful hadith.
What a beautiful.
Say
to his son,
son,
You will not get the taste of the
reality of faith.
You will not taste the reality of iman
until you know.
This is what we, my dear brothers and
sisters, we have to have in our heart,
instill it
in our hearts.
You will not get the taste of the
reality of iman and faith until you know
that what has come to you could not
miss you.
What happened to you could not miss you.
And what has missed you
could not come to you.
For example,
your colleague was promoted.
You should not become sad and say,
I'm supposed to get that promotion.
If you are a,
you will not say that
because, you know, it is not yours.
What has come to you could not miss
you, and what has missed you could not
come to you.
So this gives you what?
Inner peace,
satisfaction.
You don't envy anyone.
You don't hate anyone.
You got and you congratulate,
and you have your cover, and you said
that you deserve it.
This is your business.
Not that you start getting angry, upset, and
complaining.
It's not yours.
Also,
the prophet said,
also.
I heard the messenger of Allah
saying.
The first thing Allah created was the pen.
He said to it, write
to the pen.
I asked it asked the pen asked,
What should I write, my lord?
He said.
Write what has write what was decreed about
everything
till the last hour comes.
They said, our mother said, son,
I heard the messenger of Allah sallam saying,
he who dies on something other than this
does not belong to me.
You die
upon a different belief
than this,
that
what happens to you was not going to
miss you, and what missed you was not
meant for you.
You die about something different,
then
you don't belong.
He doesn't belong to me.
So this took a hadith, my dear brothers
and sisters,
and the ayaat.
They give the Muslim
this boost for the imam
and peace,
cleanness,
serenity,
calmness,
happiness.
You know?
People are weak. They don't have anything.
Wallahi people, they don't owe anything.
We are tools only. We are tools.
Everything is in Allah's hand.
So when a person has this
belief in his heart, naturally, he will have
a strong imam. May Allah send him
our imam and your imam.
Another quality
that he should have
besides
the demand, strong demand, and strong belief.
Okay, in his
deen and about his mission
comes
the. My dear brothers and sisters,
may Allah verify our hearts and give us
the
I always
tell myself and tell my brothers
that the fuel
with the vehicle of the
the vehicle of the
is the
not money.
What will make
the move forward, not money.
Money will come. Allah will provide.
Don't worry about it.
But
the
class
the
class.
And
many times I mentioned
what happened to our Sheikh,
while the heir.
Sheikh is
from
the in Yemen.
The merge.
It is now where the with
the heart.
And he studied in Medina,
specialized in hadith,
and he got a master degree in hadith.
He checked under the work of
Imam Dalhousni,
al al Zamaat of Tetehba.
Then he went
to his country, Yemen.
All his people
were there. Most of them, they were
Shia,
and he started the Dawa there.
And he faced a lot
of obstacles,
a lot of hardships
because early students
were Egyptian
teachers who study teaching there.
He has most of the other way, the
one the scholars of hadith now in Egypt
is one of them.
So there were handfuls
of the students
around him,
and he started the Dawa.
1 of the student other students, he told
us, and he told us Sheikh Ahmed
said the
the sheikh was writing one day,
writing, and he's sitting in his blood writing,
then the pen fell from his hand.
And they asked him,
he said,
I'm hungry.
No food
because of hunger.
He could not hold the pen.
When the, his students, I as I mentioned,
they were teachers.
He said,
chief, you have a degree,
so why don't you go and start teaching
in Sanaha University?
And they insisted.
He said, I will pray and make a
place to cover.
The next day,
they asked him, did you pray? I said,
yes.
Said, what do you what what have you
decided?
He said, I saw the I had a
vision,
dream.
So what did you see?
He said I saw my neck is growing
up longer and longer.
And then I picked a scissors,
made of scissors,
and
I wanted to cut,
and the neck is growing.
He said, okay.
What is the interpretation?
He said,
the scissors is the certificate.
If I will if I accept a job
and go to the university start teaching,
I will cut my neck,
and that this will be the end of
the dower.
So I will not go. I will continue.
I will stay here.
I do and I will be patient.
And that's what he did.
And the law,
he sent him
a man between the mountains
in the mountains of
Yemen.
He sent to the students
from all over,
from the different parts of Yemen
and all over the world.
Students, Europeans,
flocking and running
to this map.
It is
The does that.
When there is
Allah
he takes care of you,
and he blesses your effort,
and he puts the barakah.
So always, my dear brothers and sisters,
keep checking yourself.
And the dua,
keep checking yourself.
The more you have, the more success you
will have.
So the
If
you read his biography and how he started
and what he he went through and to
the extent that his own father
told him leave my house.
Leave my house.
And see now what happened.
All over the world,
everyone knows Arvani.
Even his
enemies, even those who hate him,
go to their
homes and see their
libraries,
and you'll see the book of Arvani.
He became a leading authority
in checking the authenticity of the Hadith.
He said the sunnah becomes
He checked all the books of the of
the sunnah.
So now easily you can pick
the book of the Sunan, and you are
confident
that if you are reading Sunan,
Abu Dawood, Ibn Umaga,
tell me the
he checked all of that for you.
Sahih and.
So this is the what the Ikhlas does,
my dear brothers and sisters.
May Allah
shawah his mercies upon our
who really
worked hard for the sake of Allah
to serve his team.
May Allah elevate their status in.
So the my dear brothers and sisters,
Allah
says, in,
and
Indeed,
we have sent down the book to you,
oh, prophet,
in truth.
So worship Allah alone,
being sincerely
devoted to him.
Worship him only.
All your deeds
are devoted to him.
Also, Allah says
65.
He's the ever living.
He's not God worthy for him. So
call upon him with sincere
devotion.
That's
it. The deed,
whatever I do, I seek by that
a large pleasure only.
A large face only.
Don't
look for fame or celebrity
or how many students will out there along
with you. Even if it is one student.
That should not affect your class.
Do it for the sake of Allah.
As a matter of fact,
you have to be careful
and always check your heart.
You see number of students is increasing.
People are praising you,
so so keep checking.
Oh my god.
Don't make this a fit enough for me.
Don't make it a fit enough for me.
Save me from that.
So keep always,
247,
checking yourself.
Before you start the class, before you start
giving the talk.
While you are going in your way to
give the talk, you are in contact with
Allah,
praying to Allah, supplicating
to Allah,
asking him to cover your weakness
and to save you from committing mistakes and
errors.
So you
are
relying totally on Allah
and after finishing the study circle or the
talk,
make
and ask Allah to accept it
and to make it purely for him
This is
if we really seek
the
but we seek the.
We have to do things
for the sake of Allah
because that's what Allah
will accept.
Once I read that article,
one brother sent me sent it to me,
message.
It's really
wake up call.
It says maybe you are famous in the.
People, they know you.
And they get this. So they know. What
do they know?
Famous.
What the speaker.
And the angels that that the message say,
and the angels, they don't know anything about
you. They don't know
Your name never mentioned in the upper assembly.
Allah never mentioned you.
So you are a loser.
May Allah save us.
You're a loser.
Don't you know Allah
says,
I mentioned him. And myself, I
they mention of him.
If he mentions me in a in
an assembly, in a gathering, I mention him
in a bigger gathering.
But your name never mentioned that.
And you are given talks and teaching
and your name never mentioned?
Because Allah
he is seeing your heart. It is not
runny,
so he doesn't mention you
in the upper assembly.
May Allah forgive us.
May Allah give us this last, Ali.
He's the ever living.
There's no God worthy for a ship except
him. So call upon him
with sincere
devotion
saying,
all
place is for
Allah. All place is for Allah.
Lord
of the all worlds.
He
deserve to be worshiped. He deserve to be
praised all the time.
Even though they were only commanded to worship
Allah alone,
with sincere
devotion to him
in all uprightness.
Established
prayer.
His name was Salah And
that
is the applied way.
So they were commanded only
to worship
Allah alone. With sincere
devotion.
Also, Allah said
I am only a man like you.
But it has been revealed to me that
your god is only one god.
So whoever hopes for the meeting with their
lord,
let them do good deeds and associate none
in the worship
of their lord.
So here in this, I have the ten
of Suratakath
who was telling his prophet to
declare,
to tell us
that I am only a man like you,
a human
being like you.
But I am receiving
from Allah.
So don't go to the extreme.
Don't elevate me about my status.
Neither elevate me about my status, the status
of
nor lower me
than that because I am
Abdullah Tarsulla,
undeserved of Allah and his blessing.
And this how
a Muslim
should treat the prophet
that he is servant of Allah.
He has no divinity.
He should not overplace the prophet
He should not go to the extreme. He
should not say, he is created from life,
he's not say he he should not say
Allah created the du'ia and everything
from the light of the prophet,
or Allah created everything for the prophet.
That is extremism, that is and
the prophet
is warning us against that. He warned us
against that.
Don't go to extremism.
Time. He's a Rasool.
So and him being right here
when
a man came to him
and he was shivering.
He was afraid. He said, oh, cool down.
Cool down.
I'm not the king. I'm not an emperor.
I'm not a tyrant.
So why are you like this?
I'm a man. I'm a son of a
woman used to eat the dry meat in
Mecca.
I'm a human being.
Being. I received white.
And this elevates my status about you because
I am receiving.
The the true deity that you should
worship is one, and that's Allah.
Be he whoever
wishes hopes to meet his lord because all
of us will meet Allah
in the next way.
So if you believe
in that and that you will meet your
lord,
let him then
do right just this.
See?
Believe is not enough. Remember.
Amal is part of the part
of the imam.
And then this Amal,
I just need, good deed you do. Well,
I should really bad that you have. I
should never associate
anyone
with Allah.
Another quality
that that he should have and should adorn
himself with,
seeking
by being active in the dawah Allah's vejha
only.
You are acting acting in the dawah,
Very active in the dua.
So what should be the motive
behind that?
You seek Allah's pleasure, Allah's face.
Nothing else.
Nothing else.
This is a sign of the
Sign of the class
that the guy,
he seeks
only a large fraction.
Otherwise,
he's
a
This hadith
is very scary.
Very scary.
The prophet Muhammad
reported Allah's Messenger saying,
if anyone seeks knowledge
to use it in buying
with the learning learning with the learned,
competing with the learned men, with the scholars,
or disputing with the foolish,
or to attract men's attention to himself,
god will bring him into *.
Subhanallah.
So this is
what
part of it is. You'd always put this
hadith in front of him
to check his knee.
What is the multiple?
Why am I seeking the knowledge
to compete with the scholars?
And you know something, my dear brothers and
sisters,
shaitan
puts into your mind
and makes you feel that you are a
real Arab, you are a scholar,
and you are not you are nothing.
A little student of none.
In one of his
gathering,
he was asked
he was asked, is it permissible, Sheikh, to
kiss the hand of the scholars?
Said yes.
If there's a scholar, if there's his hand,
it is permissible.
So the questioner said, let me kiss your
hand. He said, do you see any scholar?
I'm not a scholar.
I'm a little kid student.
Somehow,
this is what the end does.
The more knowledge you have, you become very
humble down to us or lie, down to
earth.
A bit of knowledge.
You think you are a scholar.
So here,
this hadith
really
teaches
us and wows us.
He sees the knowledge
to compete only with the scholars,
to argue with the scholars,
if he's in a special circle
every time he interrupts the share.
Right?
Raising an issue.
So the students
oh,
first of all,
that shows lack of Adam
to keep interrupting your share.
Second thing,
you will deprive
of the Barack Obama.
Thirdly,
the share
will not bother about you,
and he will not pay attention to you.
That's why
my dear brothers and sisters, the salaf,
the rulama of the past,
they used to discipline the salafah.
Imam Malik used to beat them. If any
student
mister Hais,
he should be beaten beaten,
latched.
The mother of Imam Malik, Rahim Al Hawa,
when Imam Malik was small,
she tied the turban on his head
and she told him, listen my son,
go to Rabiya,
go to Rabiya
and learn from his manners before his knowledge.
Learn the.
Students of knowledge
should have.
That's why my advice for all all of
you, my dear brothers and sisters,
is to read
the book by Sheikh
The adornment of the students of Noli, it
is in English.
Look search for it on the net, download
it, and read it.
Have the Adam,
first of all.
If you want Allah to put Baraka
and give you this
the knowledge.
So
imagine,
some people,
they are sick.
When they come to the study circle, they
are not
coming for learning,
but to just find a mistake here and
there.
Then he said it it is better for
this person to stay at home
and use utilize his time rather than
go and sit in the circle and
learns nothing.
Jehovah Islam maintained that he said also some
people, they're just like the fly.
A fly will fall only on a dirty
place,
not a clean spot.
So here,
you are seeking the knowledge to compete with
the scholars,
you're a loser.
To her so,
to dispute with the fools.
The they don't dispute with the fools.
See, when he said,
He said, if I
debate with the scholar,
I will win
the debate.
But if I argue with the food, he
will defeat me.
He will defeat me.
So the fools,
you say salam. You don't argue.
Oh,
This
is
the Moses.
He
saw the knowledge, he
is seeking the knowledge
so that to attack
people's attention.
Here I am. Here I am.
Come to me.
He wants to become famous.
Means
attention
to himself.
They're all the way.
They don't want to become famous.
Many of the scholars
passed away,
only they are known in limited circles.
No one knows about that.
Oh,
Oh.
This is the motive.
Allah will bring him into *, cast him
into the hellfire.
May Allah save us from the hellfire, I
mean.
Also, among the qualities
that's Taliban and and the students of Nabi
And the guys, the callers the callers
should have
is abiding by a large law
in all aspects of life.
You
abide by the Sharia.
You follow the law. You follow what Allah
said, but the prophet said.
And you should not
trespass
and cross a last limit
because you are a wrong model.
People, they look at you.
See, now, I'm a used to tell his
family.
Our family is,
If any one of you misbehaves,
I will
punish him twice more than the pea normal
people
because you should be
an example for the people.
Because the people are looking at you in
the same way.
A bird of prey
looks at
at at meat or flesh.
This pile of flesh of meat.
So this bird, the prey, well, its eyes
are only yeah. Its eyes are only there
looking at the meat, focusing,
waiting for a chance to * 1 piece
and fly to them. So this how the
people look at you,
so be careful.
When one of his children
had, he went and buy some meat and
made them,
like a barbecue,
he blamed this one. He said,
people are starving and you are eating meat.
Said, I
like it. I
I I had this feeling to have this.
He said,
anything your nuts desires, you give it to?
You give it to yourself.
You need to control your desires.
Though he didn't do anything. So
Allah says to my dear brothers and sisters
in
1 187,
So here Allah
is telling us, do not be
intimate with your spouses while you are
meditating
in the masjid.
You should not come to your wife when
you are in a state of
the Masjid.
These are
the limits set by Allah,
so do not exceed them.
Do not exceed Allah's limit.
And you are dying.
You should sanctify
and exhibit the sacredness
of Allah's limits
and get angry and upset when Allah's limits
are test passed.
These are the limits set by Allah,
so do not exceed them.
This is how Allah makes his revelations
clear to people
so they may become mindful of him.
Okay?
So
they die,
should abide by the law,
respect the law,
sanctify the law,
show the sacredness
of Allah's law,
and he should warn
the people
against
trespassing
Allah's law trespassing
Allah's limits.
These are the limits set by Allah.
So do not transgress them.
The deen, my dear brothers and sisters, is
about limits of rights,
The deed. Limits?
Should not just spouse or do it.
Live within the framework
and rights
for you
and rights
upon you.
This is what the deal is about.
So don't
violate the law,
don't cross the limits,
and
give others their rights,
fulfill your obligations
towards
your creator,
your obligations
towards
those whom you are
in charge, and you are responsible to look
after them.
And you will get yours.
So there are limits.
Most of the marital problems
take place
because
everyone wants only his rights
and forget that he has also rights to
give to the other.
So the husband is
look asking for his rights
and ignoring
and fails to fulfill his obligations towards his
wife
and not giving her her rights and he
expects her to give his him his rights
fully.
So the deal about rights and limits.
So these are the limits set by Allah,
so do not trust transgress them.
And whoever transgressed the limits of Allah, they
are the true long doers.
When you transgress
and
trespass
Allah's limits,
then
prepare yourself
because you are
bringing upon yourself Allah's wrath,
Allah's anger. Also, Allah said in Surah
30 2.
That is so.
And whoever
honors the symbols of Allah
to settle you out of the piety of
the heart,
The symbols.
The
Kaaba,
These are symbols.
So
we honor these places.
We sanctify such these places.
We show respect
because Allah told us to do so.
So the one who
honors
This situation,
the rituals,
that is a sign.
So certainly
a sign
shows that
there is fighting,
there is righteousness,
there is fear
in this person's heart.
When you go, for example, to Mecca
and you see the common man, people know
that they are not educated.
But the moment they see the Kaaba,
sitting in tears,
moaning,
eyes are wetting up with tears.
That respect that that that
love they have
for the house of Allah. We receive the
house of Allah.
So they have this taqwa.
This piety, the house is full of the
piety, full of the taqwa.
May Allah
fill our hearts with taqwa.
And may Allah
purify
our hearts.
And may Allah
grant us their flesh.
And may Allah accept our deeds and your
deeds.
And may Allah
give us to remain
steadfast in this beautiful deed
until we meet him,
and he is pleased with all of us.
And may Allah unite our hearts on behalf,
and may Allah
guide our
to the state path.
I mean, and may Allah protect you and
preserve all of you
wherever you are, my dear brothers and sisters
and.
May Allah reward all of you, my dear
brothers and sisters,
for your patience and attendance.
Sheikhna, can we take some questions now?
Yeah. Okay. Okay, brothers and sisters, kindly send
your questions in
Those who want to ask directly may do
so by raising their hands,
by pressing participants,
and then raise hand.
We can take your verbal questions.
For now, we will begin with the written
questions received.
First question we have received is a
what types of sound effects can we use
for uploading videos like
cooking or videos, etcetera?
So what kind of sound effects are
permitted?
Sound effects
in the back to to run-in the background,
you mean?
Yes, sir. Or maybe,
when
one photo moves to another, there is a
sound which maybe goes like
for example.
If the sound is not
music, it's just permissible.
If this is, for example,
the sound that the water makes of birds,
the tweeds of birds, anything that it's not
music.
What does haramper use the music. It's alboid
music
and songs and things like that.
Is this clear?
Inshallah, it is clear, Sheikh.
So,
just to follow-up on that one, I'll just
ask, just for the benefit of it or
the,
the brothers and sisters or the person who
asked.
Is it permitted to use a musical instrument
in making a noise which doesn't form music,
but
adds to the effect of moving from one
picture to another, for example.
No. Don't use music.
And the prophet said,
leave what you doubt to that which you
don't doubt.
And he said in the hadith, which is
in Buhari,
when you prohibited the musical instruments. And he
said,
a group of my people will come.
They make it halal,
They make the
the adultery, fornication, halal,
legal, prostitution, they make it legal,
natural silkworm,
walmaaj,
musical instruments.
So
Allah subhanahu wa'ala, the lawgiver, had prohibited all
these 3.
So a Muslim
should fear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and we're
just talking about,
that the Muslim should abide by the law,
and you should not cross on the limit
set by Allah at the wake of
When the hadith what the prophet
said, Leave that which you doubt,
which is not 100
to that which you don't doubt.
Is this clear,
Very clear, Sheikh. Very clear.
Next question,
which is
more of a request.
For the enlightening class.
Sheikh, can you explain Ikhlas?
Class
is not impossible,
and it is attainable
that
you
do
what Allah
asked you to do
to the best
of your ability.
How long will that burden us something
more than what we can
bear?
So only we need to work
on
the
the
always
likes
to when you do something
not good, your
tells you, let the people know about it.
So suppress that.
You do it for Allah. Allah knows about
it. Finish.
So I am only always because you see,
now I have many enemies.
I have the shaitan.
I have my nesh.
I have my halwa.
All these
Allied forces,
they are attacking me.
So who will save me from all this?
It's Allah.
So that's why I'm always
after performing
any deed, I turn to Allah and ask
please accept it for me and save me
from all these evil thoughts.
So when you do something,
you do it for the sake of Allah
and Allah knows what is the
motive.
And after doing it
to the best of your ability,
according to the law, according to the kitaab,
according to the sunnah,
you
turn leave it to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and keep praying and asking Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
to accept it from you.
So their class to actualize it is not
impossible.
It's not something
it cannot be achieved.
But this needs,
striving,
constant
strive
against one's
desires.
Then ask for example,
you got up to pray tahajjud. Allah
bless
you. If you
this choose to stand before him.
That's what they are in the moment. It
is the honor of the moment.
The next day,
this enemy is right
wants people to know that you
made the Hajj.
It's telling you, sir. So you are sitting
with your father or your sister,
and it is inside.
Talk about it. Talk about it. Talk about
it. Talk about it.
Mention
it.
And not only that, the shaitan will come,
tells you,
no. No. Just mention it
so that you encourage them.
So now,
yes, For Allah, save me.
You want to talk about it? Hold your
tongue.
Let you start. You know what?
Really, Priyam and Leel is so sweet. I
so sweet.
What you are saying?
Want me to know that you
make
the and
you
get
it.
So especially for us,
because some might say the and,
and, they were discussing this that they are
relate.
It's our email like the Sahaba.
Our class like the Sahaba.
So
try
to hide all these good deeds that you
are doing.
The deeds that normally should not be known
to anyone.
Known to be anyone. So this is between
you and Allah
That's why in the Hadith,
when the Sahabi
said to,
was asked by the,
he's when the Sahabi said, who saw the
shooting star last night?
He said, I saw it, but I was
not playing. So the he said that class
was not playing
because the shooting star was at 12 very
late night.
So he didn't want them to feel, oh,
he was making tajjud.
So he he saw the shooting star. He
said, no.
I was not praying.
I was awake because I was beaten
or stung. I was stung by,
scorpion,
and
I left the
on myself.
So they were very cautious.
He didn't want them to
conclude
and assume
that he was going to Hajjot.
So that's why we need this
check it ourselves.
Break the Hajj, don't mention it.
Don't talk.
You are fasting
Monday
or Thursday,
that stuff. You know what?
Really, fasting is so sweet,
especially Monday Thursday.
K?
So
keep these
deeds
that are not supposed to be
known by anyone between you and Allah
That's why the prophet
and the Hadid, he said
The charity, the that is given
secretly
puts out Allah's anger.
Allah loves that.
May Allah
purify
our intentions, and may Allah accept our deeds
and your deeds, and give us and grant
us
Is this clear to the question?
I mean, very detailed, hopefully, very clear.
Sheikh, the next question.
What is the significance
of a Yam al Bayt? Meaning, why are
they known as the White Days?
Because of the moon.
The moon is full.
That's why they are called the white days,
because of the the moon, the
shining, and it is full.
Is this clear to the question now?
Inshallah. Inshallah. That is clear, Sheikh. Next question
next question. Assalamu alaikum Sheikh. People who commit
suicide,
have their appointed time come?
The answer, yes.
The appointed time has come, but
they are the cause.
The cause
Allah told them not to cut themselves,
so they cross the limit. They cross past
the limit. So they are simple.
They are simple,
And their punishment is to be in that
fire unless Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
forgives them.
Namshikh, next question.
I think this is related to the music,
question or sound effects question.
What if we make sounds like banging on
a table?
See, my dear brothers and sisters,
don't know don't you know now that you
can synthesize this sound?
Some and also people, they can make,
sounds with their just with their mouth.
But the effect is the effect of the
music.
Allah is watching us, my dear brothers and
sisters, watching us.
So let us fear Allah.
Let us fear Allah.
We should not behave like those who in
Allah
told them not to fish
on a particular day.
They may clash with the fish,
and they close the gate. So don't behave
like that.
Is this clear to the question?
Insha'Allah
clear Sheikh.
We have now,
Abu Diop. Please ask your question, insha'Allah.
For
the
for
these qualities.
I have 2 questions
here.
So I see, some days,
they they make dua to women,
and they don't load the gaze and they
also laugh with them. And, also,
some people on the social media,
like, talk to women who, for instance, say
something that is not that is not right
about the deed, and people
and and men correct them. And I want
to know if if, in that case, the
Sharia,
allows that.
May Allah
save all of us from the of the
and the of women.
My dear brothers and sisters
and the brothers that dies, the biggest fitna
for men, as you know, the are
women.
So the biggest fitna for the men of
my are women.
So we need to fear Allah.
Fear Allah.
You will leave you you will lose your
deen.
You will lose your deen.
You will lose your imam
if you mix with women,
if you talk to them,
if you joke with them, you'll lose your
imam.
K?
Tell the believing men to lower their gaze
and to protect their plight and parts.
The creator, he knows our weakness
and save the link between
the look and the private part
because the eye triggers the private part.
So Allah is telling
us men to lower, the believing men to
lower their gaze, and the believing women to
lower their gaze,
not to stare at each other
and looking at each other and smiling at
each other.
You're opening. You are inviting the jibar.
You're inviting the shop.
You're looking for the picture.
Instead of you lowering your gaze,
if a sister is asking,
maybe conference or something,
so they have questions, so put your head
down.
And they have to do the same thing.
And if you are giving the talk to
the sisters,
ask for
buy it.
And talk and deliver the speech.
Don't talk to them or if they are
in front of you
and many of them are not wearing makeup,
and they are smiling and you are looking
at them and then you entertain the oh
my god.
What
is
this?
Again? Is this our deen? Is this what
our Islam teaches?
What happened to our it's the the the
where is the where is it?
Where is it?
When?
A woman came to the house of a
servant
and asked him
about how to clean herself at
the have reached to a site and mentioned
it's over.
He said you
take a piece of cotton
and clean yourself.
The prophet said that
said how do I clean myself?
He didn't get it.
The prophet said said subhanallah,
clean yourself.
The prophet said,
he didn't want to go. He said clean
yourself. So Aisha said, I pulled her away.
Just told her,
you soak it,
the piece of cotton, in the mask
and follow the traces of blood.
This is the promise of Allah,
My dear brothers and sisters,
we want the akhir.
We want
to maintain our iman and to have a
healthy heart.
We have to.
Honor our limits,
and we should not test for our service
limits.
We should not.
So this is my advice for my brothers.
Lower your gaze.
Don't mix with one end.
Don't say that,
I don't feel anything. If you don't feel
anything, you're not a
man.
Don't don't don't
try to
deceive yourself.
So
lowering the gaze
is
what Allah commanded
us.
Right?
So the same thing so that's why
if I mentioned this in many of my
talks. If,
sisters are calling you
to ask questions,
Be very official.
Very official.
Yes.
To the point.
And if she starts to
soften her
voice, hang up. Disconnect.
Or educate your wife.
So when
they call,
ask your wife to answer their questions.
So let us see Allah
May Allah
save us,
save our brothers and our sisters
from this.
Is
this clear to you? Is it clear to
you? No. No. It's it's very clear.
My second question is regard to the the
hadith
we we had about,
people seeking attention.
Sometimes
when I when I post things about the
dean, I expect the the reactions of the
audience and also I, expect them to share
it because I'd like to see,
like,
if people see it or not because sometimes
Facebook is very difficult.
They may hide the the
they may hide my post
for some reasons because of the,
the system. So,
is it do I fall into into the
the the warning of this,
of this hadith
of the prophet?
To be honest, I didn't get what you
are trying to say. Oh, okay.
Sometimes I I make, I post on on,
on on Facebook,
things about the dean.
And,
and when I post them, I I expect
the reaction of of, people, of the audience.
And,
I expect them to to share the message.
And
I do that because sometimes
I want to see And and you get
your thumbs, like
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that is the the,
just to see if my
my post has been seen because Facebook, they
have a system. It's very complicated now.
They may hide the post.
And,
yeah. So
for me, it's like to check if people
have seen it.
So do I fall into this hadith and
and then and the warning of the prophet.
When you post it, the Malaykal already wrote
it for you,
and no one knows about it.
So if you
do it for the sake of Allah,
Allah
will make people to to watch it and
to view it.
Okay?
So just keep
sending and posting
things that
are beneficial,
and they are correct
correct information about this lab.
And
if there is a means
to ensure that they are not deleted and
they are not there's no harm,
but it should not affect you and should
not,
stop you from doing
such good things.
K? You know that you are getting the
idea already. It's written for you.
So it should not stop you from doing
continuing inshallah. Is this clear to you, Rafi?
Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. It's clear.
Let's move to the next question.
And may Allah accept you and us in
his favorite servant.
Sheikh, my question is how one should become
mature in life?
How can we balance our life
means how can we control our emotions?
Is
is it comes with does it come with
age
or we have to
practice it?
Okay.
The,
both. Both.
By practicing,
controlling
one's
emotions,
one's feelings,
by training himself or herself.
When
you feel that you are going to get
angry,
hold yourself, hold your temper.
And remember,
Allah saying
those who suppress their anger,
so suppress it.
Remember the reward
of those who control their anger,
what Allah will give them in
the. Remember that when you get angry,
you are standing, sit down. You
are
sitting,
lie, get up, take Google to the.
So
there are things you can train yourself.
And there are things the maturity comes by
time also.
By time?
Life, my dear brothers and sisters,
is a school
school.
There are
many things in life. You don't find them
in books.
You don't find them.
That's why the importance of the experience
that's
why one of the said we need the
wisdom of the elders
and
the
the zeal and the enthusiasm of the youth.
Because
old people, they don't have the physical strength,
but they have the wisdom,
the farsightedness.
So we need both.
The youth, they should listen to the elders
because they have the experience,
and they know life and they think of
the consequences.
The youth, they don't see that.
But at the same time, the youth, they
have
the energy
which is needed
to carry out the projects and the initiatives,
etcetera.
So you need both.
So the and the maturity comes
to age by life. So that's why you
need to listen
to the elders.
See,
among the good habits among the Arabs,
the the
the people,
especially
in the
in the desert,
the bedrooms.
They are still young.
They keep the children
in the gathering of the elders. They are
listening
or pouring the coffee and tea for them.
You go out listening to the elders,
and you are learning
learning.
So there are many things
you learn only
in life,
and time
maturity comes by time.
Many of you I'm must have heard
their mothers telling them, wait.
You will not understand this.
You will not understand the feeling of the
mother or the father until you get children.
When you are teenager, you come late,
and you find your mother is waiting.
She cannot go to sleep before making sure
that you're you're at home.
And you enter whistling them, and you find
your mother crying.
Mom, what's wrong? I'm a man.
He tells you, wait, my son.
Wait.
When you get children, you'll know.
And by a lot, it happens.
Allah.
You go out, have children. Now your son
is outside, and you are looking at your
clock, and you're worried.
You're worried.
So there are things only by time you
will learn that.
May Allah
give us this maturity,
and may Allah
protect our children and your children.
And may Allah give us the hikna, the
wisdom.
Is this clear to the question,
I mean, inshallah, that is clear, Sheikh.
The next question we have here, may
Allah continue to bless you and your family
for the beneficial
knowledge.
The first question, is it true that the
grave will squeeze on everyone,
including the believers too?
If true, is squeeze going to be gentle
or severe?
This squeeze, yes.
That's
for the believers, like,
the hug of the mother.
May Allah save us from
the severe
squeeze.
It's very scary.
Very scary.
I mean,
Sheikh, we'll take the next question.
What is the significance of giving our buyer
to a ruler, and what are our responsibilities
towards the ruler?
The buyer
that you give to the
Muslim ruler
is that he will rule by the book
of Allah
and follow the sunnah of the prophet.
That's what you
get the
and you
don't
make.
You don't revolt
revolt
and need a rebellion
against the state
until you see
a plain
a plain.
And even if you see a plain
clear,
manifest,
The they say, you think also of the
consequences.
Well, that's you will lead to.
K?
The
al sunnah or that they believe that
they were against the in the beginning,
and that's why they
advised al Hussein
of the Allahu Anhu when he went to
Iraq not to go. They won't end.
And when you study the the the
the evil consequences of what happened to Al
Hussein and to,
etcetera.
So
you have to think of the consequences, and
this is an issue that the
the scholars
is left to the, not to the common
man
to decide.
So
once you give the,
you lead your life
according to what pleases Allah
and Allah knows best.
Next.
Okay.
Next question.
Honorable Sheikh Jazakulahe for all the beneficial knowledge.
In some parts of the subcontinent
in the Muslim community, there is a custom
called fish
fatiha,
which is held after 4 days of a
family member's death.
The family members do not eat fish for
4 days.
And then after that, they give a feast
of fish and start eating fish.
Well, this is perhaps not certainly part of
Islam, and I do not know its origin.
My question?
So what's the question? Is it,
allowed or not, or is it?
Mike.
Mike.
Okay.
So I think the question I want to
talk question is,
Afon Sheikh, my question is, is fish cooked
for the feast
permissible to eat?
See. No. The food that is made
for the,
when someone passed away.
Okay? So the Sahaba used to consider that
part of that niyaha, the lamentation and bewailing.
So you don't eat that food. You don't
eat that food. And this one, this practice
that's mentioned in this question is a and
Muslim should stop
doing these things, should stop doing that.
Next.
The next question, Sheikh, is is it allowed
not to attend the funeral
of someone because of differences
or differences?
No.
No. He's a Muslim. As long as he's
a Muslim,
you attend his Jamazah.
Unless you are
an imam
or a scholar,
and this who passed away is
an innovative
known person of spending.
So so you want to send a message
to the people so you don't attend because
there is a wisdom behind it,
and you want to send this message. That
is different.
But a normal person
cannot
refrain from
participating
in the as long as he's a Muslim.
He's a Muslim.
We attend the of any Muslim. Any Muslim.
And we ask Allah
to forgive him.
And now he is with Allah
Is this clear to the question?
Amin, Insha'Allah, it's clear, Sheikh. The next question,
assalamu alaikum shaykh. What comes first?
Sincerity
or the knowledge?
The
then only we'll bring the because
by learning when you have the
when you have the,
you start to know realize,
what
what what is Allah's right upon you.
And this knowledge, inshallah, you start practicing it,
you will,
instill the fear and the and build your
up your and your heart.
But also when you are
going to seek the knowledge, you ask Allah
to make it easier for you, to make
it
purely
that seeking knowledge for his sake
so that they go together.
So when I start learning, seeking,
I should have the class.
That is my motive. Oh, Allah,
Said Farib al Reen should, first of all,
seek the knowledge
to rid himself, to get rid of his
own,
his own ignorance,
the first one.
And to worship Allah directly
upon Nasirah,
and then to defend the deen
by seeking the knowledge.
So seeking the knowledge will strengthen their class
and also theikhlas
should be there when you seek the knowledge.
Is this clear to the question now?
That is clear, Sheikh. Very clear. The next
question,
please explain
ayaat 103 and 104
of Surat Al Kahf about the greatest losers
as to their deeds.
They are those whose efforts
are lost in the worldly life
while they think that they are doing well
in work.
Yeah. That is just also about,
So this is a problem when you
think that you are doing well. And this
is,
especially for those who are,
worshiping Allah in the wrong method and the
ongoing.
Because remember,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he created us
to worship him
and to worship him on his terms.
So if you
worship Allah
in a way different
than what he wants, Allah will not accept
it.
And you'll be able to lose us.
And the law will not accept the
any deed that is done not for his
sake only.
So they are indeed
losers.
And the problem that you think you think
that you are doing the right just needs.
Like the people who are
indulge in bid ask,
and they are practicing
and doing
And they think
they are getting closer to Allah
And then they will be surprised on the
day of resurrection
that all these deeds are not accepted by
Allah.
So a in itself is not enough.
That's why the
said
put next to
it next to this hadith.
Whoever innovates any Mecca, invents any thing in
our Mecca,
the new
thing in our Mecca and our deen will
not be accepted for him to be rejected.
So to say that I have the class,
that's not enough.
Remember, there are 3 conditions.
Three conditions should be fulfilled.
If you want Allah to accept your if
you want Allah, Azza Wa Jal, to accept
your deed, three conditions.
Condition number 1, the imam
to aid. There
is shirk,
your deeds will not be accepted
because the shirk couldn't spoil everything.
Number 2,
sincerity,
that you are doing it for the sake
of Allah.
Number 3,
compliance
to the Kitab and Sunnah.
That this action, this Ahmad, this deed
that you do,
it is
in line with the Quran and the Sunnah.
It comply with the Quran and Sunnah.
If one of the 3
is missing,
then this amal, this deed will not be
accepted. So remember
and ask yourself,
no hate,
free from shirk,
free from
showing
up,
and,
compliance with the Quran and Sunnah.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Inshallah,
very clear, Sheikh.
Next question.
This is related
to a Bediop's question. Sometimes we make videos
of scholars to share them on social media
with the intention of pleasing Allah
and benefiting people. But after getting lots of
views and likes, we become worried and we
become confused
that are we doing this for Allah or
for the likes? Because now we are checking
views
and likes frequently,
but at first, our intention
was to please Allah. What should we do
in this case?
Purify the
and carry on. Should not stop doing this
good deed.
But we should not worry about the views,
how many.
But
people are the number is increasing or decreasing.
So carry on. Once you started
doing something good for the sake of Allah,
don't let the shaitan to stop you.
And if the shaitan
tries to swallow you on your ear,
immediately wake up wake up
and turn to Allah
and repent and make a stafan, but carry
on. As Imam Khazali
said, if you are in the salah
and the shaitan tells you you are prolonging
your salah
because someone is watching you, he said make
it longer.
Prolong it more.
So then the shaitan will not come to
you again.
See, he will leave this idea. Say, this
guy, if I say,
you are showing off, he will prolong the
salah, so he will not come up again.
So the shaitan tells you you are paying.
Yes. Because someone is working, make it longer.
So don't let the shaitan
to stop you from doing righteous deeds and
good deeds. But always, as I mentioned to
you, my dear brothers and sisters, we should
keep checking ourselves. Is this clear?
Inshallah, that is clear, Sheikh. And the final
question we have for tonight,
is it permissible to pick fruits from a
tree that grows in the masjid without the
permission of its keeper?
Try to avoid it. The waqf. And unless
it is
meant that everyone
can eat, it is for everyone. That's different.
But if it is waqf for certain people,
for the poor, for things like that because
many of these things are waqfs, and
one has should have this.
Is it clear?
Yes, Sheikh. That is clear.
And, we have come to the end of
today's session.
If you'd like to
conclude the session.
Dear brothers and sisters,
may Allah
purify
our intentions. May Allah
grant us. May Allah
remain
steadfast on this beautiful deen, and may Allah
strengthen our brothers, the guys, and give them
the and give them the and may Allah
reward them immensely
for their efforts, and
may
Allah accept their efforts. And may
make us one hand and may Allah
unite
our hearts on behalf, Ameen, and may Allah
make us protect each other
and defend each other. Ameen, and may Allah
unite our
and may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters, and preserve you and
your families
and protect you from all sorts of evil.
Tell me
I leave you in Allah's
company and protection.
