Okay.
Okay. We are ready to start inshallah if
you are
Brothers and sisters,
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
today is our weekly class,
Islam, virtues of Islam.
And we will continue talking about the
most dangerous
organ
in a human body,
and that's the tongue.
So we continue to talk about the venom
and the
negative and the dreadful
consequences
that
this small organ can cause.
The book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
in the Quran,
he teaches
us,
the believers,
how
to elevate our status and how to develop
ourselves
morally
and to
get
the best
moral standard.
And that is by having
good manners,
good good
character.
You know, my dear brothers and sisters,
the heaviest deed,
k, one of the heaviest deeds on the
scale
is good character.
If you have
good character.
Those who will be very close to the
are those who have good characters.
So my advice for myself
and for you
that we need to work
in developing
our characters.
The Quran talks to you and me.
So when you read the Quran, Allah is
talking to you, not to somebody else.
You are meant by this message.
So don't read the Quran
while considering that Allah is addressing somebody else,
not you.
So when you are when we read the
Quran,
Allah talks to me,
so I should ask myself,
this is an instruction
and the command
from my lord,
so I have to obey.
I have to obey.
I have to
do what pleases him
and avoid what displeases him.
We should
each one knows himself and herself.
Sit down,
take piece of paper,
and list down
the bad
habits we have,
the bad things you have,
and work on them and get rid of
them 1 by 1.
That's how we will improve
and develop
morally and spiritually.
So Allah
he talks to us,
to each one of us,
regarding
what to utter,
what to say
regarding this small organ?
The tongue.
Allah says in Surat al Israa
aya
53.
Say to my servant
that they should only say those things that
are best
best.
For Satan
does saw
the sanctions
among them.
For Satan
is to man an an avowed
enemy.
It doesn't reflect in this beautiful
So this is
Allah deserting his prophet to convey the to
us.
And see
what Allah
what the title Allah
has given to us.
My servants.
We are his servants.
We are his slaves.
And this
title of of
servitude,
or being servant
is an honor
is an honor
to be a servant of your lord.
Because
if you are not servant of your lord,
you will be a servant
for others.
You don't want to be servant of your
Allah, your of your creator.
In reality, you are a servant to others.
You are serving others.
You serve your own
whims, and you worship your own desires,
and you obey your own desires
and your own whims,
so you are not
you cannot link yourself from being a servant.
You are not.
Being a servant for others, that is humiliation,
degrading,
whereas being the servant of the creator
is promotion,
elevation,
honor.
Because you are
worshiping the one who deserve to be worshiped.
You are obeying the one who deserves to
be obeyed
all the time.
So the
for Allah
is sharaf,
is an owner.
One has to be proud that he's a
servant of Allah.
And
see the how many times he described his
prophet
as my slave, my servant.
That is an
honor.
Glory be to
him,
who took his slaves, his servant,
from the sacred mosque in Mecca
to the farthest mosque in Jerusalem, in Palestine,
which we bless all its surroundings.
So
being a servant of Allah is honor.
That's why the prophet he would
pay
and stand in
the salah
till his feet would swell.
And when he was asked, he said,
Shouldn't I be
grateful slave, grateful servant.
In the other hadith, said,
So here,
is telling us,
do not overpraise
me.
In the same way, the Christians
overpraise
Jesus Christ,
They praised him praised him, venerate him until
they
put him in a status
equal to Allah.
And they actually said he's Allah, and they
attributed
divinity to him.
That's why the Christian, they say, Jesus Christ,
our lord
Our lord.
So the and he told the Muslim, do
not
the is to venerate excessively,
to over praise,
and to
venerate is a respect, but to
elevate someone to a status above the status
that he deserves, that's
excessiveness
that is going to the extreme side.
So do not overpraise me, the prophet is
saying.
Most certainly, I am a slave of Allah,
Abt,
servant of Allah.
Say
He's Allah's slave. He's Allah's servant
and messenger.
And this
two words, Abid and Rasool,
prevents us from going to extremism,
to the.
He's up,
so we will not raise him above the
status of messengership
and prophethood.
He's a human being.
We will not attribute to him
the attributes of Allah.
We will not ask him. We will not
call him as many Muslims. May Allah guide
them.
Or Allah's messenger.
That's what they say,
when they are in need.
Instead, oh, Allah,
who hears them,
say, oh,
Rasulullah.
Leave alone anybody else.
Rasoolullah, you are not allowed to do that
because he
is.
He is Allah's servant.
Cannot do that.
He objected
when a man told him,
What Allah
will and what you will?
Or what Allah will and what you will?
The prophet objected,
and he told him,
You made me equal to Allah?
Say
Say
what Allah will.
The prophet said them
could not tolerate
that grammatical
mistake, which the man
made. He used
the
connector
an,
wa, instead of using
because
necessitates
and entails
sharing
sharing.
I came.
Okay.
Who came?
Who came?
A
and b came.
So the coming, the action is should between
the two
actions, a and b.
Should.
But if I say,
a came
first,
then
b,
there's no sharing.
There is separation,
independent action.
So that's why the post accidentally
objected,
And that's why he told us, do not
overpraise me.
Because the prophet
when you say, oh, Rasool Allah, he doesn't
hear you.
He
doesn't.
But Allah, he hears you
because his soul is in the other assembly.
His soul is in Jannah.
And when we send salam upon him, Allah
sends back the soul to the body,
and there are angels who convey the salah
to him.
So he is.
He's a servant of Allah.
So when we say he's Allah's servant, this
should stop us
from going to the
extreme.
And
call him,
ask him, or when you are
in Medina, in his Masjid, you stand in
front of his
room. Yeah. Not the the grave is inside,
and you ask him. No.
Ask Allah.
For some
deviant
among the Muslim, some deviant groups
among the Sufis, may Allah guide them.
They believe that the prophet
attends their
zikr
circles.
We call it Al Hadra.
The prophet comes
comes.
He leaves his grave and he attends.
And some, they keep a chair for him
to sit down,
and it's
and they say he comes.
This is all unacceptable.
So when we say Abdullah, this prevents us
from going to the extreme,
But, also,
we should not teach him like anyone of
us
because he's.
So this how we balance.
Yes. He is Allah's servant, but he's.
He's He's not like anyone of us.
So we have to give him his as
the messenger of Allah.
So
to be a servant of Allah is Sharaf
is an owner.
So here, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is addressing
us.
And say to them to us,
So
Allah, he attributes
us to himself,
my own servants.
As an Arab poet said,
What made me
increase
in honor.
That means
pride. I became proud
and honored
and delighted.
This the rightfulness,
this pride,
this,
honor,
Yeah. I am overwhelmed
by that
when you say you attributed me to yourself.
Excuse me. In status.
Sharaphan
Such
delightfulness,
such happiness
elevated me,
boosted
my morale
to the extent
that I felt.
I am
stepping
on
the stars.
A
is
type of a star.
So that
when you say I am your servant,
you elevated me
to such
highness
that I felt that I'm going to step,
place my foot on the stars.
What is it that made you
feel this
delighted and happy?
When you included
me,
when you encompassed me
under your servants,
when you addressed me
and singled me
and said you are one of my servants,
I
am.
I come under your saying, my.
You included me,
and you're saying,
my servant,
this is an honor for me.
Well, it's Sayyasta
Ahmed al Inabiya.
And besides that,
you sent Ahmed
as a prophet for me, you guide me.
This is an honor, my lord.
So this what Allah said,
Say to my servant
that they should say only those things that
are best
essence.
So when you talk,
choose the best word,
the best statements,
the best sentences.
When
you want to talk,
think,
and choose
your words carefully
carefully
and say
the best.
As Allah said,
Do not argue with people of the scriptures
except with that, which is the best
which is the best.
Even when we argue, even when we debate,
we have
rules
as Muslim to abide by.
And when we argue, we choose
our worst suffering
because we don't want to hurt people's feelings.
We don't want
our words to bounce.
We want
our words to touch and penetrate and reach
their hearts.
So you have to be careful
and argue with that, which is the best.
Was
debating
with the delegation of the Christians
who came from Najjarah
in his masjid. He received them in his
own masjid,
and he was arguing with them
till the argument
reached dead end.
Dead
end because
they don't they didn't want to accept the
truth.
So in Islam,
when you
debate
or argue
with
someone,
and then
the truth is so clear,
yet
the opponent
is arrogant to accept the truth.
So he's
not
ignorant and sincere
seeking for the truth. No.
He knows the truth, and he knows what
you are saying is true, yet he's
arrogant and doesn't want to accept.
Then here, there is something called
Mubahala
Mubahala.
What is the Mubahala?
The Mubahala
win
the debate or the
discussion
or the dialogue
reach an end dead end,
then both
parties,
debaters,
they come in the open,
and they invoke Allah and pay to Allah
to curse the liar,
to
curse the liar.
So this rich dead end,
the the discussion with the delegation of the
Christians who came from, like, Iran.
So the prophet
told them, tomorrow,
we will go for Mubahala.
I will come out with my family,
and then we will invoke Allah to curse
the lions.
Guess what?
They ran away at night.
They ran away at night.
They fled
because they knew that he's a prophet, and
they know.
Of course,
they are learned men.
They know what is mentioned in their scriptures.
Anyone who
makes Mubahala
with a prophet,
he will be
destroyed.
Allah will destroy him.
He will be ruined, finished
on the spot,
so that's why they ran at night.
The next day,
they're not there.
The prophet
said,
had they stayed
and accepted the Mubahala,
by Allah,
Allah will set the whole valley
ablaze,
on fire,
so they will be burnt alive.
So here, Allah
is saying,
the
best.
Do not argue with scripture,
except to doctor Keith the best.
This is in the case of those who
are
interested
and sincere
and humble,
and they want to accept the truth. If
they are arrogant,
then
there's different
way of approach and different way of dealing
with them.
Then Allah
said, So here, Allah
is telling us that we have to say
the best
and avoid this enemy, Shaifa.
Why? Because Shaytan
here in the eye, in the Shaytan,
certainly, most of it certainly, verily.
Yes, This is the job. This is the
task of Satan
to create hatred.
Do so
sow dissension.
In the same way,
a farmer sows the seeds and put the
seeds
in the
in the ground,
in the earth, and cover them.
This was the shaitan
plants in people's hearts.
He sowed
the seeds
of hatred,
enmity,
For Satan
does saw
the sanctions
among them.
For that reason,
when you say that which is the best
and you use your words carefully,
you don't give the shaitan a chance
to provoke the other
side.
But the if you say something
and you became emotional,
That's what the shayta what the shayta wants,
and he will whispers into the ears of
your opponents,
and he will become more arrogant.
So Allah knows
the tikks of the shaitan.
He knows the tikks of the
shaitan. In the shaitan,
That's why the Quran teaches us, my dear
brothers
and sisters.
Repel
the evil with that which is the best.
Because of you repelled the evil with good,
and you react in a civilized
manner,
this affects the other side,
your opponent.
Because
you repel what is evil
with what is good.
This brings about
and changes
the the situation.
The one with whom you have
enmity
before
He becomes an intimate
friend, very close to you.
Then Allah reminded us that
to reach this state of repelling the evil
with good,
only those who are lucky.
Only those who are
are blessed and
lucky, and Allah has given them this
and this, blessing.
So this how we
we should interact.
We repel the evil with good.
We repel the shayya with hasanah.
One of the qualities of our that
when you provoke him,
he becomes wiser,
more forbearing.
This is
one of his
qualities
mentioned in the books of the
people of the book. That's why the
that I
buy,
you will show up buy,
I think Zayd ibn Sena,
The he
dealt with the Jews in business,
interaction, business transaction,
business transactions,
buying and selling.
Okay.
So he borrowed money
from
this
Babai.
And as you know that,
also,
he gave his shield.
His shield was mortgaged,
giving to
the
Jew as a guarantee
that the prophet will pay for him,
and he took food for his family, and
he passed away while
his shield's still with the Jew.
So now this rabbi, zed of Nuserna,
decided to come before the time
of the payment.
He wanted to check
this quality of
forbearance
that the more you
incite him, revoke him,
he becomes wiser.
So he came and he said, oh, you
family.
You family of Abdul Muqaddib,
you delay the payment of people's
money.
Said Nurmagomed got angry
when he heard that.
The prophet
told him, cool down, Nurmagomed.
You shouldn't have behaved in that way.
You should have told him
to wait
because time is not due,
and you should have told me
to pay him.
So, take him and give him from.
Give him his
money.
Did that,
and the told
him to give him more.
So when he paid him more,
there is a reason.
It's not
rebar. No.
Because
said, no, Omar, he frightened the man.
So this is a compensation
for frightening him.
So
he asked him,
why this additional amount?
So my prophet told me because I
fighting you.
So lady, what else?
That's what he was looking for.
My name plays the swamp.
So
when you
repel
even with good,
you don't give the hikam a chance.
Someone
said something,
don't
reply
or react. Don't do that.
But that's what the is looking for.
This is what the life's telling us.
This
is your real enemy.
The problem with us, my dear brothers and
sisters,
we don't know our enemy.
He fools us. He pulls our legs.
We follow
him because we don't know him.
We don't know his tricks,
In the shaytan, I can't a little insan.
Shaytan
is to man.
I do open enemy
and avowed enemy.
Says my dear brothers and sisters in Surah
Al Qasas,
aya 55.
He is blazing.
This category
of people
who
have
an outstanding
character.
Allah says,
And when they hear
slanderous
talk,
they turn away from it,
saying,
we are accountable
for our
deeds
and you for yours.
Peace to you.
Peace
is our only response to you.
We want nothing to do with those who
act
foolishly,
ignorantly.
So here Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is describing
this category
of righteous,
pious people,
those who
have noble qualities,
outstanding
characters.
But either Sami or When
they hear the
What does
means
meaningless
meaningless
speech.
Vain talk. Vain
talk. That's the level.
People, they just
talk talk talk for nothing,
for the sake of talking. That's it.
If you try to get any benefit, nothing
nothing is there.
Just to
waste time
cracking
jokes about the people,
accusing
people, insulting people as
excuses.
So Allah
because it is unbeneficial
conversation
and talk.
So when they hear
this slanderous joke,
they
turn away from it.
They don't indulge in such
dialogues,
in such conversations.
Oh, they don't indulge.
Because you see, my dear brothers and sisters,
each one of us
will enter his grave
alone,
will
bear
his own
sins
alone.
No one is going to bear your sins.
You have bags of sins, you will bear
them.
You will carry them.
So the wise one
is the one who
keeps checking himself,
and he's mindful
that a day will come
where he will be held accountable
for all his deeds.
So why do you indulge
and gossip
and talk about others?
Do you want
more sins? This
shows
insanity,
stupidity
that
you, every day,
you put more more sins in your bags.
You come from work.
You take your lunch,
and then you call your friends. Where are
you going to meet, in the same place?
And you go there, and you start
talking about people,
and you spend hours and hours.
In daily basis, you do this.
Men and women,
Let us face the reality.
Most of our gathering when we meet, that's
it. Bothering,
backbiting,
swandering.
That's why my advice for myself and for
you,
leave all these gatherings.
Try to be away from the people.
Try to
minimize the contact unless and until they are
very necessary.
Try to be
as
as much
as you can at home.
Benefit
from your time.
Learn your dream.
Open your books.
It's better for you than sitting
with others who are
backbiting
and gossiping
better.
And Arab poetry said,
The best companion
you can have is a book with you,
a book you read.
You build your knowledge.
You educate yourself.
You discipline
your and refine your character.
You get closer to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Build a library,
small book
library.
Few
books at home.
Read.
Read.
Utilize your time.
They
said
when they mentioned his biography,
they said,
When we made a comparison between him, Abdul
Laban Mubarak, and the companions,
we didn't
see
much difference
except that they are
the Sahaba,
companionship,
the companions of the
and that no one it's
no one can be like them to
be a companion of the.
But apart from that, he is similar, like
them.
He's a scholar of hadith.
He's a faqih.
He's. He's a.
He's a businessman.
K?
1
year, he will go to Hajj, and the
other year, he will go to the frontiers,
rebat, Yihad, facing the enemies.
And he wrote a beautiful letter to al
Frawayl.
Frawayl
is in Makkah,
a scholar in Makkah.
And the abbot,
he told him,
Oh, worship in
the Had you seen us,
you would discover, realize that you are playing.
You are playing.
The real worship is here. Come come and
join us
on the front lines.
Come.
Your perfume
is the mask.
The musk
perfume,
that is yours.
But our perfume,
the dust
the dust of the hostess,
the dust that is raised by the hooves
of the horses,
that is our perfume.
So they said,
when he read it, he wept and he
cried.
So one year, he would go for the
other year for jihad.
The reason I mentioned Abdul Lab N Mubarak
because the moment he would finish the salah,
he would leave the masjid immediately,
and he would go to his house. He
would not stay outside the masjid,
talking to the people. No.
So they asked him, don't you feel bored
by yourself? He said, how can I feel
bored by myself? I'm not by myself.
I am with the
prophet and his companions. He meant the hadith
of the prophet.
So he's
reading about the Sahaba, and he's reading about
the.
So the year that he would go for
Hajj,
he announced he would announce and the people
of Khorasan
Khorasan
they decide to
go with them. Whoever wanted to perform Hajj,
the best
Hajj
package is to be with Abdul
Abdul Abadak.
So they come to him and they say,
I want to be to go with you.
He said, okay.
Give me the
money.
So he would take the
the wages from them, the cost.
Okay? In those days,
they will they are gold or silver, so
everyone is giving it in a bag
or a piece of cloth. So he will
tie it and put the name,
and then
they would set out for Hajj.
So out of the Hajj, he would feed
them
roasted chicken,
best food,
which
is a type of sweet
or faluda.
And when they
when they reach Mecca,
he would tell them,
you just focus on the about that and
the don't focus about anything else.
We will do everything for you.
We will do the shopping for you. What
did your family ask you to buy for
them?
So each one would send him
this and that.
So he has people who will do that
for them.
And they would perform the Hajj, and then
they would go back.
After a few days of arriving
back home, he would call each one of
them.
Come.
This is your money
that you paid.
And the things we bought for you,
that is free.
This is Abdul Abdul Mubarak.
So he was
working in business,
supporting his brothers, the scholars,
spending on them
in different countries.
And he said famous saying
that
I work in business
so that I will not need
to come to
those
in
power.
Because if I'm in need, I will visit
them and come to them. I don't want
to go to them.
He said,
had
it not been because of we Allah blessed
us with this fortune or this money.
Those people
would use us as
their handkerchiefs.
Use us as Mendeel, as Aunt Gochirk.
And one day,
Abdulan Mubarak, he entered Baghdad,
and there was a parade
for Harun al Rashid
in charge.
Harun al Rashid
is passing and the people behind him,
and
people
are waiting to see the Khalifa.
Then Abdulham
Mubarak appeared.
When the people saw Abdulham
Mubarak
they left of Rashid,
and they followed.
The mother of Rashid, Farun al Rashid,
he said, who's that man?
That the people followed and left Harun?
They told her this is Alam Khorasan.
This is the scholar of Khorasan,
Abu
Luh. He said, this is the real kingdom.
He's the king, not Harun.
The people, they left Harun and followed him.
K?
So my dear brothers and sisters,
try
to use your time.
Try to have halwa with Allah.
Try to
stay at home
as much as we can
because we are living in time of fitan.
Fittan.
So be with your family.
You
know,
the most disliked
places,
the most
disliked
cases.
In the sight of Allah
are
the markets,
the malls,
shopping centers.
This what are the most
disliked in the sight of Allah.
Because the old man said,
the traders, the businessmen,
they lie, and
many things going on.
Sins are committed,
fleemixing,
dating, all these these things happening in
the
market,
shopping centers,
malls, etcetera.
So these are the most disliked places
in our site, and the most beloved
places
are the.
Now my dear sisters,
what is the most beloved place to you?
Be frank.
The masjid,
which is the most beloved place to Allah,
or the
mall?
The mall, of course.
Women, they like shopping.
They like going to the market,
and they spend hours and hours.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
We are accountable for our deeds, so don't
increase
your sin.
And you for yours, everyone will be accountable
for his own.
Make sure that no and bear in mind
that you will enter your grave alone, and
you will bear your sins alone.
Peace to you.
We want nothing
to do with those who
act ignorantly.
Also, Allah says, my dear brothers and sisters,
in Surah Al Anam,
68.
Allah says.
And when you come across those who ridicule
our revelations,
do not sit with them unless they engage
in a different topic.
Should Satan make you forget, then once you
remember,
you'll not continue to sit with the wrongdoing
people.
Let us reflect here.
So Allah
is addressing
his prophet
And when you come across, when you see
those who
ridicule
our revelations,
Those who crack jokes, those who
mock
the deen.
Because my dear brothers and sisters, ridiculing
the deen or any teachings of Al Islam
or any aspect of Al Islam,
it's.
This takes a person out
of Islam even if he did it jokingly.
Don't sit with
them. People are cracking jokes about the deed.
Don't sit with them. I told,
quit. Let's not leave.
Not that you laughed
with them.
Do not sit with them unless they engage
in a different topic.
They change the subject.
If you forgot,
and this is what the sheikhan does,
It makes you to
forget
and to relax,
and you
follow the scheme.
Should Satan make you forget,
then once you remember,
get up and leave.
And
leave. Then once you remember,
do not continue to sit with the wrongdo
people.
If you are in the
in the office
and your colleagues
are
talking about
evil,
about Islam,
attacking, etcetera.
Don't steal them.
Leave them.
And show
through your facial expressions
that you are absent
because this is this shows lack
of
other
etiquette
and lack of intolerance
with others
who disagree with you.
I should not
disrespect others
or criticize
their belief
or insult
their
deities or the things they wish. Allah warned
us not to do that.
He warned us
because they will. Because to them, these
objects of worship are dear to the heart.
So if you
attack and criticize, they will attack and and
criticize the deen.
So don't provoke them.
A Muslim is always
have this soft heart,
and
he has Rahmah in his heart,
so he prays for them and ask Allah
to guide them.
And he chooses
the best way, how,
and the approach the best best approach,
how to present this
beautiful
deen to them
and this light
of
Islam.
So that's why in Islam,
the non Muslims, they live
among the Muslims
peacefully.
They have their own temples. They have their
own
synagogues. They have their own churches. No one
interfere.
No
one. It's throughout the history of Islam,
throughout the history of Islam.
That is their belief.
And on top of this,
it is the duty of the Islamic mistake
to protect them.
Protect them. Yes.
Because we call them.
We have given them
the
promise
to protect them.
And guess what?
They are living
in Muslim countries,
and
they are citizens
of the country,
per se, in
modern terminology,
but they are not
applied and obligated
to defend the country
if the country
came
under attack by enemy.
They are exempted from
going
to the frontline
and lose their children.
They stay behind,
protected by the Muslims.
The Muslim children
and youth
will be dying on the front lines,
defending their own
country,
and they are defending
those
non Muslims.
This is our Islam.
Where on earth
can you find this
today? You
got the citizenship of the country?
Finish. You have to
do whatever
a citizen does.
You are obligated to defend the country, and
that's how you show you're
you are a patriot
person.
You show you're a patriot.
And they conclude by this. That's why my
dear brothers and sisters, oh, Islam is so
sweet, so beautiful.
What's the problem? Many of us are ignorant,
And we are bad
salesman. We don't know how to present it
to the people.
So when the Mongols,
the
Mahool
or the Tatars,
they attacked Syria
Damascus.
They have taken captives,
Muslims and non Muslims.
Sheikh Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and some of the
scholar,
scholars of Damascus, they went to
see the commander
of the Mongols,
Ghazan
or Ghazan.
To cut this story short,
Ebin Tamir asked him to release
the prisoners.
So he told him, I will release the
Muslims. He said, no.
The non Muslims before the Muslims.
Release the non Muslims
before the Muslims.
This is our Islam.
May
Allah increase our knowledge in the deed.
May Allah bless us with the beneficial knowledge
of righteous deeds.
May
Allah keep us remain steadfast
on this beautiful deed
till we meet him, and he is pleased
with all of us. May Allah forgive us
our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah unite our
and may Allah unite our hearts
and
the
And may Allah elevate your status, my dear
brothers and sisters,
in this world
and in reward all of you
immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters, we'll start the question and
answers time now. If you have questions, please
send them through
so we can address them as soon as
possible.
Let us see. We have received some questions
already. We'll begin with those.
The first question, Sheikh,
what does it mean to send
salutations
upon upon the prophet?
It means to say,
Muhammad.
And the minimum, you can say
Muhammad.
And the best form
is to say as the asked,
how can we send salah? He
said,
This is the best.
And if you say this 10 times,
then you will be entitled
for the, the
prophet
will intercede for you.
So always keeps
making salah upon the prophet
and the salah upon the prophet
has many, many, many benefits.
Imam
Ibnu Ibnu Payin, he made a he wrote
a book this size volume
upon the
the the virtues of the salah upon the
prophet.
So
always keep engaged
in making salah upon the prophet salah ala
sallam, and that's why the prophet
he said,
So this,
the mizer, the person
is the one. When my name is mentioned,
he doesn't say he or she
So the prophet describes such a person
as
And this how we should teach our children
when the name of the
is mentioned, we say
When the name of the companion is mentioned,
we say
and the name of a scholar is mentioned,
we say
dead
or These are
manners. These are
values, ethical values.
We should
keep them, maintain them, and think upon our
children upon such
values.
Is this clear to the question?
Otherwise,
they can send another question through. Next question.
The organizers immensely in both worlds.
Will the parents too be punished if children
who have attained maturity commit sins
in spite of parents' advice?
To Zakkul
Agha?
No. The answer, no.
If it is not due to the negligence
of the parents,
they did not bring them up
Islamically.
If they are the root cause, then they
will be
counsel
for their negligence
and not fulfilling their obligations
towards the children.
But if the parents did their best,
and they were the child was doing fine.
And now when he reached
the age of, puberty,
he
started
sinning.
He is now accountable for his deeds.
And the parents, they just keep
reminding him, advising him, and
use all the techniques and methods to bring
him back.
But he is now the
pen started to write.
You know, we know that the the son
of Nuer,
k, he was covered
and drowned.
Will he be plain? No?
K.
So
Hidaiya is in a large hand,
and we knew, say,
he's my child. He's my progeny,
my son.
Allah told him.
No.
Is an evil progeny.
It's not a good deed.
So
may
Allah guide our children, I mean,
and keep them
remain steadfast in the day.
So
but a child, then he's not a child
now.
He's accountable before Allah. The parents started to
write
against him,
And the parents should just keep making and
try
their best
to remind him and to
ask Allah to bring him back.
Guide those children who went of the attack
to bring them back,
Is this clear to the question now?
We'll go to the next question.
A brother approached for proposal of to one
of my friends.
He asked the brother about her dean.
The brother replied, she listened to lectures of
reliable sheikhs.
The brother is studying the dean himself and
benefiting from many lectures.
My friend has a small income, but he
can handle a person.
He asked how to know if she is
committed to Islam. Please advise.
Then in Islam,
to get this information,
the family, they play vital role, the women
in particular. So your mother, your sisters.
Okay. They can
visit them.
K.
Or they can ask and find information
if he is going to school or going
to the masjid, attending circles.
Okay?
So
others, the women, should help you to get
information about her.
And when you
collect enough information and you are convinced,
then you go to the family and
propose,
and then you will sit. This is your
line. You sit with the girl and talk
to her, and she will talk to you.
And you're going to find out
about her belief, about her deen, about her,
religious commitments,
etcetera.
Is this clear to the question?
Shall I disconnect? Otherwise, they can But you
don't,
okay, try
say,
okay. Can I arrange a conversation on the
web
site
on in a room
using the net, and we can talk and
no? No. No. Don't go there
ever in that
tread on that path.
Never.
Yes?
Yes, Sheikh. The next
question. What is the ruling on taking money
as membership fee in matrimonial
websites?
I don't know about,
these fees. What what what for?
Okay.
Just shift for providing service, Sheikh.
Okay. Okay. We'll use that site. So that
I can log in
and look for the my match. Right?
Yes, chef. Correct.
Yeah. Okay. Someone is looking for a wife.
Okay. So this is reliable
and
famous, trustworthy.
People
fear Allah,
and there are no,
direct
interaction or conversation between the 2.
You just log into this, and you give
your information.
Okay. Not that you log in
and you see the girl and all that
stuff. No.
Okay.
The metrimonial
services should be just
facilitators
facilitators.
So they make the match. They have their
own databases.
So they look
for
what
you
they think this is your
suitable
partner,
then
they
contact you. They inform you about the family
and the details and the address, and then
you have to take it from there.
Take it from there.
That's what they they should do.
K?
Or if, for example,
sisters who are the verbs, they they don't
have
others. And this if this
matrimonial
service, they do that and they act as
the willy, then they will
play the role of the willy.
K?
Say, okay.
We have a sister,
and they will meet you because now they
play the role of the willy.
And then if you agree, then you can
see the the girl.
And then after that, the and the and
the marriage
Is this clear to the question now?
It is clear, We'll go to the next
question.
If I am an agent marketing houses for
a seller, and the seller told me he
won't be responsible
for paying for my services,
but I should have an agreement with the
buyer.
Who will be the one to pay for
my services if the buyer agrees to do
so? Is that permissible?
So the the,
the owners telling the of the real estate
or the owner of this,
building or flat or that, I said, okay.
You get your commission from the,
from the buyer. Right?
I will not give you commission. You get
the commission from the buyer.
Yes.
Okay. No problem.
So he will send the buy to to
the buyer. This is the price, and this
is my commission.
That is
he's not doing it freely
because he
puts efforts and he spends hours and going
through the
the,
people who are in
in need and the people who they want
to buy, etcetera. So he's look looking for
clients.
So he's putting efforts.
So to tell the buyer, this
is the price. This is my commission.
Do you want?
Is this clear?
Yes,
next question.
In Sharia, is it not permissible
to use one debt to cancel another debt?
In a cooperative society, if a member has
shares and also some savings
with the cooperative, and he's also owing some
debts. Is it permissible to subtract
his debts from his savings in cash?
Sorry. Savings and shares equivalent to the cash
and pay him his balance,
or he has to go and look for
money to settle his debts first then collect
his savings.
What if in a case
where this
member dies?
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Just
forward this question because I need to study
it. Next question, please.
Insha'Allah for the question. Next question.
If I'm not able to see the Imam
in a congregational salah,
whether he did
or not. And I don't want to
differ with the imam.
What should I do in this case?
Question is not clear. Yeah. I'm not understanding
this one.
Question if you send another question back inshallah.
More clear.
Your next question,
I'm asking about.
What happens when a woman is given the
last or the third talaq?
Does she have to sit for?
Of course.
She has to wait for the,
and she should not stay in
the house of her husband
because
the are 3 tie 3 times.
2 of them are what we call
revocable.
K? That means you can take
your wife. You can have her back.
1st,
when a man give gives to his wife,
we
call
it,
the woman should not leave the house. She
has to stay in the house.
And if he gets
her period, then her it there are 3
menstrual cycles.
If she doesn't get her period,
she reach menopause
within 3 months.
So she has to stay in her home
and live normal as a wife because she
is still your wife.
That's why she cannot get married because she's
still your wife.
And the other mother said even she
should,
beautify herself and
look presentable
in front of him.
Because
if he hugs her, if he kisses her,
if he sleeps with her,
that means he took her back.
All of these says, I have taken you
back. So that is the hikmah, the wisdom,
why she should stay
in her house.
If the waiting period,
the elapse,
and he didn't take her back,
then she has to leave.
Within
the her consent is not
a must.
He can just tell her, I have taken
you back. Finish.
But if the finish, then she has to
leave the house, go to her family.
Now if he wants to take her back,
there should be new married contact
and a new money.
So this is the first.
2nd,
the same way
same way.
After,
she stays in the house.
If he takes her, that's well and fine.
If the period finishes,
then she has to move. He wants to
take her again, new married contract and.
The third time, the moment he
pronounced the fella out and says, you are
divorced,
She has to pack her stuff and leave,
not the stake, because she's not his wife
anymore.
If he did
if he does anything to her, it is
Zina.
It is Zina.
So she has to move out
and wait for the,
then she can get married.
Is this clear to the question?
We go to the next question.
Some people say that the phrase
is not mentioned anywhere in the hadith. Is
that authentic?
What to say?
The prophet said
The
is the one who say, when my name
is, he doesn't say
He doesn't make salah upon the because
what is the meaning
of Allah's blessing is free upon him.
That's the meaning of it.
That's when you say You
make salaam upon the
and that means you ask Allah
to
elevate and raise his status in the upper
assembly.
Next question, please.
The next question.
Yeah. It's
is it true also that non
non Muslims, when they
yearly is more personal
according to amount of Muslims. It's a lot
of spelling mistakes.
Is it true also that
non Muslims when they
that Thema yearly
is small percentage amount
according to the percentage amount of Muslims per
year.
We'll go to the next question.
Brothers and sisters, please
before we go to that Yeah. This is
a request to the brothers and sisters.
Please, my dear brothers and sisters,
make your questions
clear
and to the point.
Short and sweet and to the point.
Thanks. Next.
Also also, Sheikh, if I may add, if
English is not your strong point, then maybe
writing is not, the best option. Please ask
verbal questions so we can speak and understand
clearly.
That's another option. Yes.
Next question, Sheikh.
I have 5 kids now by the grace
of Allah. My doctor suggested
Implanon
as a temporary birth control measure.
Before Implanon,
I used to get clean in 5 days,
but after this implant, I had irregular bleeding
for 1 whole month
as I'm diabetic, and I'm breastfeeding my child
too.
Now I don't get regular bleeding during periods,
but it is like spotting.
Should I consider it as menses and observe
it as a period for 5 days and
offer prayers for the rest of the days,
or should I pray after I become clean,
which happens only after the 7th or 8th
day?
Okay. So now because of this,
coil
of this object that
placed,
right,
the period became irregular. Right?
And the days
change.
So her period is not normal.
The,
in this case,
she should know when she before this, how
many days she would stay. And women, they
know
the symptoms
of the,
of the
of menses.
Okay?
Pain,
mood is changed. So they know the symptoms,
the
smell of the blood, etcetera.
And we know that the period has no
number of days fixed.
K? It can increase, can decrease,
and it
it differs from one woman to another. Yes.
The
average
is about
1 week, 7 days.
That's the average, but some women more than
that, some less than that.
And the women
at the time of
Aisha de la Anha, they would send
cottons,
k,
soaked
in the
fluid
cases
of the a woman which placed that piece
of cotton
and sent this
sample or specimen to Aisha.
Am I clean?
And she would tell them, wait
until you see
the sign, the white sign.
White sign means
the
the uterus now is very clean. No blood
is coming out.
So you don't pray before you see that,
that you are clean.
And you see this alpazal veda,
this white sign.
You don't touch.
K?
Your period normally is 7 days, but now
because of this,
still you have
blood
or drops or spots,
then you add that. That is that means
you are not clean yet
until you see the
sign the white sign.
Some women, they don't see this white sign,
but they know that they are clean because
they become dry. Nothing is there.
Very dry.
So this is the sign.
K. So you wait
until you don't see any traces of the
blood.
But now let's say,
you saw the sign of purity, the white
sign,
That whitish fluid, you saw it. That means
you are clean.
You took a shower, start praying.
Then after that, you start to seeing these
spots
or spottings
and traces.
You just ignore it because you became
clean. Or sometimes you get
this colored
fluid after that, after seeing the the sign
of
purity,
as the Mu'athiyah said,
Kunlana'udu
kudulata
was so far by doctor Hulishaiah.
We would not consider,
and we would cons we would consider
the colored fluid or the muddy fluid as
nothing. We just ignore it after seeing the
sign of purity.
After seeing it, you just ignore it
and take undue and pay.
Is this clear to the question?
I like this question. We go to the
next question.
If I'm not able to see the imam
in a congregational
prayer, whether he sat to pause after the
2 prostrations
before standing for the second raka
or not,
and I don't want to differ with the
actions of the imam.
What should I do in this case? Should
I sit
after the 2 prostrations
or not since I'm not sure about the
imam.
First of all, let us know what is
the ruling of this.
Is not mandatory.
It's not.
K? Yes.
It
is.
And some of the,
they say,
the did
that when he became old.
Now I don't see the imam. I'm in
the 2nd row or the 3rd row.
Actually, I am following the those in front
of me.
K? So the first row got up because
the imam got up. So the second row,
also, they are seeing them. So I just
follow the people.
And then they're not let the shit ton
play with my my oh, did he sit?
Or he also to steal how he did
it.
K. The people in front of me, they
got up. I got
up.
So if
you made Yansert to Stilaha,
and
then the people got up. That means they
are they are seeing because this law is
seeing the law before in front of them,
and they asked the front for the first
law, they see the imam himself.
K.
So it got you follow those in front
of you.
They got up, and you haven't,
sat down, k,
for the
you just follow them.
Don't
just say I will make the then I'll
follow them. Just follow them because they are
following the email.
Is this clear to the questioner?
It is clear, Sheikh.
And that was our final question for tonight.
If you'd like to conclude,
May Allah
reward you immensely for your patience and attendance.
And may Allah protect you and protect your
family and bless you and bless your family.
And may Allah
keep us to remain steadfast on this beautiful
deen al Islam
till we meet him and find him pleased
with all of us.
Until we meet
in the coming session, I leave you
in Allah's company
and protection.
