Brothers and sisters,
and welcome to our 24th
lesson of virtues of Islam
delivered by our honorable Sheikh Sheikh Salim Al
Amri. I will pass the mic and the
screen to the Sheikh, and the Sheikh can
begin inshallah.
Sheikh
Salim Al Amri.
Islam. Today is our weekly class,
al Islam,
virtues of al Islam.
In the last session,
we talked about
the virtue of the
simplicity
of this religion, this deen,
the Islamic
creed,
the Islamic belief.
So simple,
so
easy to understand.
It resonates
with our
innate nature, with our.
No mystery,
no complexities.
The most learned man understand it, and the
layman understand it in the same way.
Anyone who reads it understands it,
and this is the beauty of Islam.
And that's why and that's what attracts the
people
to come back to their fitra,
to revert to Islam.
Because
it touches
what they have inside.
It talks to the souls.
It revives
that soul,
and it makes it
reconnect
to its creator.
Because when you got away from a lost
path,
the soul the soul suffers.
Once you connect to Allah,
but you are depriving it
of
reconnecting
by committing sins,
by
disbelief.
So you are
clouding it
and covering it
and chuckling it
from
shining,
and they connect with its creator.
So when you come back and you revert
your Islam,
you're uncloud, and you unlock
this
soul, which has which has been imprisoned
in
your sins
and because of your sins,
in the sin of the,
the darkness of this.
That's why you feel those brothers and sisters
will revert
it. The moment they say, they're
shahada.
Ashhadu Allah ilaha illallah.
Wa Ashhadu anna Muhammad.
They burst in tears. Why?
Because
they removed the lock.
They released their souls.
They feel
something has come out.
Something
has been suppressing
that soul for years.
That depression,
that holiness,
that
spiritual vacuum
is gone.
So naturally,
their eyes
went up with tears
because they came back to the fitra,
to that innate nature.
Today,
we will proceed
talking about about
the
importance
of this
Islamic
faith,
which we refer to as,
the Islamic
doctrine,
the creed itself.
And I hope that you know by now
how to differentiate between a hapida,
tuhid.
K?
These terminologies
should be clear in your mind.
Is not synonymous to.
Literally
means
that set of beliefs which you hold in
your heart,
that set of beliefs can be right, wrong,
or can be right,
correct, or incorrect.
Because every human being has
Even the atheist has
He believes,
okay, in certain issues
because
belief is something we
man and belief
cannot be separated. You have to believe in
something.
You cannot say I don't believe.
You believe.
You believe.
The fire burns. You believed
poison will kill you. You believed.
Thirst will kill you. You believed water will
quench your thirst. You believe
by eating, you got tread of the hands
of hunger, so you believe.
You believe by taking medicine, you'll recover, so
you believe.
Say cannot say I do not believe.
So the
is that set of beliefs which you hold
in your heart.
And respective whether it is that set of
notions and beliefs,
correct or incorrect, if you have.
So that's the meaning of. That's why in
Arabic, it is the derivative noun, and we
I talked about this many times.
Delivered noun is derived from the root,
to make knot.
Take
a rope, and you make a knot.
Making that knot is called the,
and the is something tied
in the heart
firmly.
So that set of belief cannot be shaken.
K? Because
is
and the
and
the grammatical
scale,
it corresponds to, like, to a place,
the word
because we have
a balance or scale.
We call it.
So this
meter,
we
weigh the words on it.
And the the this meter or scale is.
So if I put,
I will place the root of the word,
the
and the.
And then the additional letters in aqidah, I
will place there
also
next to fa'ala.
So aqidah will be fa'ila
fa'ila.
And this form means
something done.
K?
The passive.
So we say
someone who is killed,
which means.
Means
mafrul, maqstul.
So
something
mafrul, something something.
So keep this in mind always.
So that's the
So the of the Muslim is
means oneness of Allah. So you believe in
the oneness of Allah. He's 1 in this
person.
He's 1 in his actions,
and he is one
that deserves to be worshipped alone.
Right? So
the aspect of
being 1 in in person and essence
that we refer to as the unity
of
lordship
and unity of divine names and attributes.
Okay? So his person is 1,
and deserve deserve to be worshiped. And then
we single him out
regarding his names and attributes,
and that we call it unity of divine
names and attributes. And then we single him
out regarding our own
actions,
and that is called unity of worship or
unity of
or
So this the aspect
talk about
the.
So the Muslim's is
the of.
So the
the Islamic creed
is monotheistic
creed.
K.
It
revolves around
the belief in the oneness of Allah
So the importance of is very important thing.
And Allah
has singled out
this beautiful deen, al Islam.
And keep in mind, al Islam is the
only deen
in Nadina, in the white Islam.
So the only deen, the only way of
life which Allah will accept
is Al Islam, submission to him.
And it is the deen
and the religion of all the prophets. So
it's only one religion, one.
It's one. No.
It's only 1.
It is wrong to say
the Christians or the youth or
no.
It's only one religion, the religion of Musa
alaihi salam, Israel Islam.
The dean of Ariese alaihi salam, Israel Islam,
of Solomon, David,
Jacob, all Islam, all of them are Muslims.
So Allah made this deen al Islam
and made all its teachings.
Simple?
And, also,
they
are based
on revelation.
They
spleen from
concrete,
solid
creed,
which is based
and established and founded
on
on
certainty.
This is the belief of the Muslim.
It's based on certainty,
not take it on faith. Like in Christianity,
if you ask
the priest
or any learned man
about the riddle, and they call it a
riddle because it is a riddle and mystery
to them
of the holy trinity,
the father, the son, and the holy ghost,
and this they are 1.
They tell you. They confess. It is a
mystery. It cannot be explained. Just take it
on faith.
Take it on faith.
I know a brother who reverted to Islam.
I met him. He's American. I met him
long, long time ago,
about 30 years.
He has PhD
in logic.
He was
a priest,
then he became a Muslim.
He said the
they tell us,
when you want to step into the church,
keep your
logic, your,
rationale
outside,
and take things that you are going to
hear on faith just by your heart. No.
In Islam, we have both.
We reason and faith, they go together.
Not dichotomy in Islam between faith and reason.
They go together.
Everything in Islam,
you can reason, you can rationalize.
Every teaching of Islam makes sense.
No
mystery in Islam.
And the Islamic creed, it is
free from any traces
of confusion
or mystery.
You will not be confused or perplexed
at all
because
Allah
made
it, made this Islam
in
its last version.
The Islam was
the was
the seal of all the prophets.
They did very simple
and free
from
any traces of uncertainty
or complexities
or confusion
or mystery.
Allah says,
number 2.
So
the beginning of the Surah,
And this, as you know, disregarded letters,
only Allah knows the meaning
of them.
That is the strongest opinion about
the
those
these the disjointed
letters.
Allah says after that,
of course, they
they are letters to this there's a purpose
for that, and some of the commentators say
to draw,
to capture the attention
of the listener. So
this pattern of speech was not known to
them. So they hear alif, lam, me.
They know the alif, the lam, and the
min, but they're not used to this.
So now they are all ears, and they
are now listening attentively.
So
then Allah
says,
So this book,
means doubt.
This book
has no doubts.
It is free from any doubt,
and it is guidance with them.
For whom? For the pious, for the righteous,
for those who fear Allah.
And Allah used the word
because in Arabic, this this
are demonstrative
pronouns
pronouns.
Like this,
the,
the, this.
The
is not
part of the word. It's only for
calling attention. That's why you say, but actually,
that is
the
the demonstrative
noun.
And
for the female,
Then you say,
the that's probably for
capturing attention.
Then we have.
We have lam here.
You point towards something
near to you. But if it is far
away,
you
say.
So Allah use this.
This is called the level word.
This land donates
distance,
remoteness.
So why Allah use this? This is they
say
the status of the Quran.
This is Quran
occupies
the lofty,
highest status
because it is
the
speech of Allah
So
radical kitab. So this book, the Quran which
you read,
which occupies a lofty status,
and
it is reserved.
It came
from
this reserved tablet,
from the
to you.
So it came from a high, high, high
position.
And this
negates,
okay, any
any doubt.
K.
Remember,
it negates the genus, so
all types of doubts
are not
there.
Like, when you say,
you negate the presence
of any
male member, even a child, a boy,
male child. When you
say no trace of doubt.
So all types of doubts, you will never
find any doubts in the Quran.
Quran. So those who say
there are
mistakes,
there are things the or gentleness, I mean.
When you
read what they wrote,
they just expose themselves.
And
all the critiques
show their shallowness and their under and
misunderstanding
and their shallow understanding
of the Arabic language.
Yes. They studied Arabic, but yet they failed.
Because you have to keep in mind, my
dear brothers and sisters, the Quran came down
in the town of the Arabs,
and he challenged the Arabs,
And
was searching and looking to find any flow,
any defects in it, and they said miserably.
And then and I.
Comes and criticizes the Quran
and says there are mistakes
when the experts themselves failed.
It is just like
someone whose mother tongue is not English and
comes and say, you know what? William sick
Shakespeare doesn't know English.
Hello?
People will laugh at you.
You don't know English.
You're broken English,
and you critique
the words of William Shakespeare.
Who are you?
Likewise,
who are you
when you don't know Arabic?
You didn't
master
it
because
the experts
the Arabs, they were this is their field.
Eloquence, malaga. So they
knew
poetry,
prose,
they know that.
And the Quran has different style
of
speech.
Mesmerize
them.
So that's why in the early days of
the Dua,
you the
was early to read the Quran where
he has in Kabira.
It's fine with them
with the Quran against them. Just read it.
Read it.
When Al Walid ibn al Muhiran, Al Walid
is the
is
an expert
in poetry and everything.
So when he heard the Quran, he plays
the Quran,
said this cannot be
the speech of a human being.
So his people told him, no. No. Please
say something different.
If the people hear what you are saying
about the Quran, they will become Muslims.
So under the, he changed his mind. He
said, you know, this is the saying of,
human beings.
Allah saved.
K? Because he said, this is the the
speech, a lie, if fabricated.
When he know knew
it is the speech of Allah said,
I will roast him
in the hellfire.
They can taste it,
experience
the punishment
of the
blazing fire.
So the the experts failed.
No. Right, indeed.
They enjoy listening to the Quran.
Abu Sufyan
and Abu Jahal
before Abu Sufyan became a Muslim.
At night, they would go to the masjid.
Each one will
sit in a corner
listening to the recitation of the prophet.
When the day is about to break,
everyone will go back to his house because
he didn't want the people to see him.
And many times, they ran into each other.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Promise me you will not come next night.
I promise you.
And each one's
thought the other one would not come,
so he would enjoy.
And this happened many times. Who said this
after he became a Muslim?
So this is the Quran, my dear brothers
and sisters. And do you want to understand
its beauty?
Read and understand the Arabic tongue.
Without mastering Arabic,
your knowledge will remain superficial.
No doubt in it.
So this Quran is
guidance
for the righteous,
for those who fear
So
our is based on this book of Quran,
which has no doubts whatsoever.
So we are sure
that
our
our belief is correct 100%.
We have no doubt at all.
If you doubt
the, then you are not a Muslim because
a Mercedes has no doubt.
And you say you have it has doubt,
you're not a Muslim.
Also, Allah said my dear brothers and sisters.
So is
based on this book.
Allah says in Surat in Nisa, aye 82.
2.
Do they not
then reflect on the Quran?
Had it been from anyone other than Allah,
they would have certainly found in it many
contradictions,
discrepancy.
This is a challenge
to prove that the Quran
is not Ramallah,
just go
and find a contradiction,
this redundancy
in it.
That's enough.
But
everyone failed
to find a contradiction
or discrepancy
in the Quran.
The Quran is the only book
that challenges
its reader
and tells the reader, go,
reflect,
ponder
while you read me and try
your level best
to find the mistaken me. Fine.
Have you ever found a book
challenges
the reader?
Is this the Quran only?
Imam Zafir
said,
I'm going to write books.
I'm going to write books,
and they will contain a lot of contradictions,
and they will contain a lot of mistakes
because
they are not from Allah.
It's only the speech of Allah.
It's only the Quran, the word of Allah,
which is free from any contradictions.
And this, my works,
what I'm going to write, my works are
not from Allah. So for sure,
they will have a lot of mistakes,
and this is true.
The works of all human beings, they have
mistakes.
And that's why
you see the books
edition number 1, revision 1, revision 2, revision
3,
And then
you read in the introduction,
okay, that this new edition,
okay, has corrected many of the typographical
mistakes
and some mistakes. And thanks all
and thank you. And thanks to all those
people who
pinpointed
such mistake.
I appreciate that, and the author praises them.
Because we are imperfect,
incomplete.
So, likewise so, similarly,
our works will be
naturally. Our works will be imperfect
because we are imperfect.
But the Quran is the word of the
most perfect, and that's Allah.
So Allah
says,
Do they not
make the double,
reflecting,
Think deeply.
And many times, I told you, my dear
brothers and sisters,
have special khatma.
Khatma of the Quran, the temple only.
You have
one.
That means you read the Quran
to finish it every month at least.
So every day, you read 1 juju. It
says you keep it like that.
But you have another
for the number only.
You take the,
understand
which
the general meaning of it,
the grammatical structure of it,
the grammatical
analysis,
which we call.
The different ways of regarding
it,
Then the rulings that you can be deduced
from this?
The what the said,
and you read in many books of the
tafsir and
most of the books of tafsir, if you
know Arabic,
are there on the net.
You can move from 1 tafsir to another
tafsir to another tafsir.
That's where you will enrich
your understanding
of the Quran.
One of the
is
from Morocco.
He said
in their country,
in the
the Madrasah
of Quran,
in the countryside,
he said,
one of the has a unique
way of teaching the Quran.
You know, they make the children to write
the Quran on a slate.
You write it.
What you memorize, you write it. Then you
go and you recite to the sheikh, and
he will correct you.
Now you memorize, and he corrected your recitation.
Then he will send you to another Sheikh
where he will teach you
everything related to the this ayaat,
the Arabic language
mentioned, the grammar, the
balaga, the
then you go to another shift,
and he will explain to you the tafsir.
Then another one, the.
Then you go back. So by the time
you finish
the surah,
you know everything about it.
So when you finish the Quran,
okay, in that way
it is equivalent that you have more than
PhD degree.
You know the Quran, everything about it.
And that was the style the Sahaba followed.
They read the ayat, understand
them, deduce the.
They apply them in their life, etcetera.
So
So Allah is asking this question,
which is actually blaming us
that why don't you make
the Why don't you reflect on the
the
Quran. Do they not then reflect from the
Quran?
Because if you mix it up in the
Quran,
you will see
the
the medical of the Quran.
You
feel the impact and the effect of the
Quran
when you make
the
If this Quran had it been from other
than Allah,
for sure,
they will
have found in it,
and they would have found in it
a lot of contradictions and discrepancies.
But because it is from Allah,
it
is free from any
contradictions
or discrepancies.
And our
is based on this book, which is free
from any contradictions
or disturbances.
Also, Allah said,
in
Surat al Baqarah, ay, 23 to 24,
for his deathless.
And
if you are in doubt, that's what Allah
is saying, And if you are in doubt
about what we have revealed to our servant,
then use a surah like it and
call your
other than Allah
if what you say is true.
But if you are unable to do so,
and you will never be able to do
so,
then fear the fire
fueled
with people and soldiers,
which is prepared
for disbelievers.
Let us reflect.
Allah is challenging
the disbelievers.
Those
whom the Quran
addresses.
If
you were in doubt.
You're right.
You are in doubt about it.
Regarding what we have sent down,
revealed to our servant, Muhammad.
If
you have any doubt
that he made it up, he compacted it,
he compiled it,
copied
it. As many of the missionaries,
they say, he copied it from the
from the, previous scriptures.
How you copied it from the previous scriptures
when
it criticizes
and creates
the Torah and the gospel, the previous scriptures,
and telling us that
the Jews and the Christians
adulterated
the scriptures.
Because if someone is copying, he he will
copy everything.
But, no,
he criticize, say, here, these things that
they mentioned
are
not true
because the Quran is Muhammed,
is the criteria.
It is the checkup
of all the paper
scriptures.
Yes. There are similarities.
There are certain events, stories here.
Yeah.
We Muslim do not deny
that everything in the existing
scriptures, the in the Old Testament or the
New Testament,
they're not from Allah. There are fragments of
the truth remained.
So no doubt there there are similarities
because both of them came
from the same source from Allah.
So to find similarities,
that's natural.
But that doesn't mean and doesn't necessitate
that the Quran is copied from the previous
scriptures.
So if you are in doubt regarding what
we sent down,
what we revealed and sent down
upon our servant, our slave,
then meet this challenge
to
produce a Surah like it. Only 1 Surah.
1 Surah.
One chapter like it.
If 1 man
made this book by himself
and you cannot
do that. Just produce 1 chapter like it,
and they failed miserably.
Then Allah challenged them. 1,
and they failed miserably.
See?
Not
just close to it, and they failed.
Allah
is challenging them.
Go
and produce a
Like it.
Similar to it.
No problem. Seek help
from the jinn, from whomever you want.
And call your other
than Allah.
If what you say is true,
meet their challenge.
And then Allah told them, and this is
another
medical.
How come?
The that
he
he
wrote it, and he challenges the people.
And he's telling them you cannot reduce something
like it. What if they've reduced?
Because it's not the work of the prophet.
The one who talks here is Allah,
And the non Muslims, they are saying,
oh, it is Satan inspired the prophet. What
type of Satan is this?
Inspired the Quran
and teaches the recite of the Quran and
teaches Muhammad
When you read it, seek Allah's protection from
my evil, o
Muhammad.
Come on.
What an idiot shaitan is this?
Teaching
us how to be safe
from his plaques, from his
tricks,
and how to protect ourselves
when we read it.
Come on.
On. What he'll tell you is that
I cannot harm those whom Allah protected.
Allah's.
I have no control.
I can only influence those who
disobey Allah and
listen to me.
So the non Muslims, the enemies of Islam,
they don't know what to say about the
because
it's the arrogance. They know this is from
Allah.
So Allah said after that, the ayah to
follow, ayah 24.
But if you are unable to do so,
future.
So
at present, you are unable,
and, also, in the future, you will be
unable.
If you are unable to do so, and
you will never be able to do so,
That's.
A lot of threatening them.
That means
you are arrogant people. You reject the truth
when you know the truth,
then get yourself ready for the for the
hellfire.
Allah is threatening them,
warning them.
Where that,
Then fear the fire,
whose fuel,
men and rocks,
where it that is already prepared,
created,
waiting for you,
for the disbelievers.
So this is the Quran, my dear brothers
and sisters.
And the of the Muslim, our belief, is
based on this book.
That's why
the
the certainty
is based on this book,
which is free from any doubts.
Also, Allah said,
number 9.
9. It is certainly we
who have revealed the reminder,
and it is certainly we
who will deserve it.
Let's just reflect here.
So that's why any Muslim who doubts this,
he's not a Muslim.
Any Muslim says that the Quran is not
protected. He's not a Muslim
because Allah says that he's going to protect
it.
And the Muslim says there are doubts,
he's not a Muslim
because Allah says there are no doubting.
So the Quran, my dear brothers and sisters,
was preserved and protected
because Allah promised to do so.
The Arabs
were a nation,
but Allah
blessed them with photographic memories.
So everything they commit to memories.
Their history,
they mentioned it
in their poems,
their battles,
their
areas,
their places,
their
life stories,
their everything.
He wants to know everything about the Arabs.
Read
the Arab poetry
before Islam. You will know everything about them
because they were not a nation
who
were able to read and write.
So they had to say everything
through poetry
in their poems.
So that talent
enabled them
to memorize the Quran
because they
that was
their
default
nature
to commit everything to Mamreel.
So the prophet
memorized it from Yibreel,
reads it to the disciples.
They memorize it, and they write
it
at the same time.
So the Quran was conveyed orally.
Today,
if
hypothetically,
let's say
the books
of the Quran
covers
the enemies that took the Quran and they
burnt it.
The next day, the Muslim will write
it because it's here
in their hearts.
SubhanAllah.
Don't you know
The
in
Morocco not Morocco today. This is,
called the I'm not gonna call it, the
the west.
Okay? The Arab West, which means Mauritania,
Tunisia,
is they they refer to it as Al
Maghrib al Arabi.
They most of them, they are Maliki following
the mother of Imam Malik.
When
a deviant
sect ruled that area,
They burned the books of the Malik Imadha
and especially the books of Imam Malik,
That the books that
carry the teachings of Imam Malik.
They burned them
because he wanted
to impose on them something else.
But
the books of Imam Malik are in their
hearts.
They
wrote them again.
This is the
and these are
the sayings of the and the students of
and,
yes, they are there mama'ized in their hearts.
How about the Quran? Millions and millions.
For
the Quran was conveyed
orally. That's why
description of the Quran.
If you read this hadith,
the water will not wash it away.
How do you understand this hadith? The water
does not wash him wash the Quran.
That means if you took the Quran and
put it in water, the ink will not
be washed. It will be washed.
So what does it mean?
Because it is in your heart.
Because this
Quran is in your heart. So if the
of
the Quran
takes a dip in water
and he comes out,
that Quran will not be washed.
That Quran will not be washed.
So here, Allah says,
It is us. It is we. This is
the royal we.
We have royal we in Arabic
and as well as you have in English.
We, the king, we, the queen, the same
thing in Arabic.
So here, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he talks
about himself, about his majesty. It
is
we who send down the
the revelation,
the reminder,
this
Quran. This Quran,
this
Allah made himself
responsible to protect it,
and it is certainly we who will preserve
it
to protect it.
And the enemies of Islam tried many times
to change some
and produce copies of the Quran.
Immediately,
Muslims will find out, and the copies will
be taken away
and will be
burnt.
I cannot.
See the medical of the Quran.
If and the imam makes a mistake,
immediately, he will be corrected.
And maybe that person who corrected him, he's
not a, but that
mamaized. So no one can
do anything
because Allah protected it.
And then the Quran also tells us, my
dear brothers and sisters.
So just to know that your
your Islamic belief, it's not just
based
on hearsay
or people's feelings. No. No.
There is an
on the revelation,
on the speech of Allah, the word of
Allah.
Allah
tells
tells us.
Listen to what Allah is saying.
Aya 44 to 52.
And this shows that it is the book
of the speech of Allah.
Because if it is written by Muhammad,
he will not talk about himself
and tells us about himself and about his
mistakes and and that Allah got angry with
he will not do that.
No human being will do that,
but because it is from Allah.
In the Quran, if you read, you find
that Allah
he blames his prophet.
He reminds him.
So listen to what Allah say.
And if he, Muhammad
had made up about us some false sayings,
he concocted something
and then attributed
it to us,
What will happen? Allah is threatening
him.
We would have certainly seized him by his
right hand.
Then we would have cut from him
the aorta,
the biggest
artery.
This is the punishment.
Had he
concocted,
had he fabricated,
had he
invented,
had he
made
up any false
sayings and attributed to us.
Allah is saying,
we
would have certainly seized him
by his right hand,
then we would have cut from him the
iota.
And there's none. No one of you
could prevent
us from him. No one.
Then Allah said,
This and
indeed it,
the is a reminder for the righteous.
And indeed, we know that among you are
deniers.
They are deniers. They are rejections of truth.
They are
those who have,
those who are arrogant,
they deny the hap.
They deny
the eyes of the sun during daylight.
Say, no. No. There's no sun.
Indeed, we know that among you are deniers.
And indeed,
it will be a cause of regret
upon the disbelievers.
The day of resurrection,
they will regret when it is too late.
We wished.
We believed in it.
We wish we accepted Muhammad.
It's so late.
It is Haslam.
You regret on that day.
And indeed, it will be a cause of
regret
upon the disbelievers.
Then Allah said about the Quran,
And, indeed, this Quran is the absolute truth.
No doubt whatsoever.
And, indeed, this Quran is the absolute truth.
Absolute.
Now does he hear the
the,
some
new guys.
K.
Say, we cannot claim the
absolute truth that we own the truth only.
Yes. We Muslims own the
truth.
Yes. Because
that's what
Allah
said in his book.
All
humanity
are in
Allah's saying,
by time at the talking of time, none
is in great love.
Except those who believe.
And whoever
seeks
a way of life,
the
way of submitting to the will of Allah,
do not accept it from him.
And in the hereafter, he will be among
the losers.
So you doubt not your Islam.
The kafars
are destined to have fire.
This is a fact.
We don't hide it.
We feel beautify them.
We ask Allah
to guide them,
but this is the reality.
Check it.
Check what the Muslims claim.
And once you discover that it is the
hack, accept it and become a Muslim
if you want to save yourself from the
fire,
and you will stay in the hellfire forever
for eternity.
And indeed, this Quran is the absolute truth.
Absolute truth.
Truth.
So gratify and exalt
the name of your lord,
the most
great.
Glarify Allah.
Glarify the name of Allah subhanahu ala'ala, al
Adeen, the most great.
Also, Allah said,
the Surat Yoonish,
I have 32.
That is Allah, your true lord.
So what is beyond the truth
except falsehood?
How can
you then
be turned away?
Listen to this, new guys.
Who compromise
their deen,
who try to please their masters.
Come back and repent and turn to Allah.
That's Allah your true love.
Have you reflected in this aya?
Have you reflected in this ayah?
Allah is questioning us,
and he questions anyone.
The
hack the truth is in what what Allah
said.
So what is
What is beyond the hack of the truth
except?
Falsehood,
debacle, misguidance,
deviation,
going astray.
How can you then be turned away
from the state's path?
From the true path,
from the way of salvation,
from the path
which the left
us upon.
No
crookedness
clear.
It's night like it's daylight.
Whoever leave that state path
will go astray.
May Allah keep us remain steadfast
on this state path of the.
May Allah keep us remain steadfast on this
beautiful deed.
Deen al Islam, and may Allah make us
die upon this deed.
May Allah forgive us our faults and mistakes
and ignorance. May Allah bless us with the
beneficial knowledge
and the doing of our prestige.
May Allah unite
our and unite our
hearts on.
And may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
immensely
for your patience and attendance.
Brothers and sisters,
we will now
begin the question and answers time.
Please send you send in your questions first
so they are covered in the session.
You can ask your questions directly as always.
We will begin with the questions received already.
The first question, Sheikh.
Is it allowed for a Muslim to read
the earliest scripture, the gospel, and the Torah?
The prophet,
he saw
reading few pages of the
scriptures of the people of the book, and
he was really upset with him.
And said, Nur was engrossed
reading.
He didn't
see
the facial expressions of the Then
he was told,
don't you see
the facial expressions of the apartment?
Then he paid attention,
Said,
and the.
Are you in doubt?
So you are reading
previous scriptures?
If Moses,
upon whom the Torah was sent out, is
alive,
he would have to follow me.
He would not have any other option except
to follow
I have pointed to you so clear
this revelation,
this law,
the dean of.
This was the stance of our.
And this how he reacted.
So
priority wise.
You learn your deen. You learn your Islam.
I know. I know. Many of the brothers,
k,
They know
the old testament, new testament more than they
know the Quran. I know that. More than
they know the sunnah of the,
and that's very sad.
Very sad.
And they know
the verses by number.
John, this, this, Luke, Mark, Matthew.
They don't do that with the Quran.
So
what Islam teaches us first, we learn our
our Islam. When you become
deeply rooted in in your deen,
you understood your Islam. You understood
the and the sunnah and
and, also, like
so no one can hate you,
and you are qualified,
you are like Eventania,
you are Imam,
then
no plot.
No plot
to use
the scripture
to for
the Dawah
with the people.
The the best way is use the Quran.
This Quran has
tremendous impact
when you read it on the people.
And you see the social experiments, people, they
do on the YouTube.
Non Muslim, when they hear the Quran, they
start to cry.
But that's what the Quran the impact of
the Quran. It is the word of Allah.
And the missionaries
and the,
okay, the bible numbers,
they keep changing their techniques and,
message.
So when
they debate with you, they they they know
you are
well versed in the in the bible, but
they know you are weak in your Islam,
and they will attack you there.
They know you're weak link,
and they will expose you.
And they create doubts in
the minds of the audience who most of
them are Muslim.
Because you see, you have to keep when
this missionary is going to come to debate
with you,
there is a team behind him working around
the clock.
They prepare things for him.
So what he's going to say is only
Shabaha
doubts,
and he will quote from different
sources the books of Hadith and this and
history, and and you don't know.
He will quote fabricated
a Hadith,
and you don't know that this Hadith is
weak or fabricated.
Or he will quote a Hadith, which is
authentic,
but you don't know it's correct interpretation
and how to understand it and put this
and place it in this proper context.
So in a nutshell, my advice for you
brothers and sisters,
don't flex your muscles.
Down to earth,
learn your Islam first,
and leave reading
the scriptures
of the other
beliefs
for the time being
until you become.
Ibn Taymiyyah did not refute the Christians,
and he couldn't
write
the correct response and rebuttal and answer and
reply
to those who
don't hate
it. The religion of Christ
at the except when he became Imam
in
Islam.
To the extent they say, I I hadith.
I hadith. I hadith. I don't
know it. It's not
to show his fastness
and his knowledge about the hadith of the
past.
Then after that, when he reached that level,
he refuted the Christians.
He refuted the Greek logicians.
The
critique of the Greek
logicians or Greek logic.
He
reviewed to the.
He refuted
the the
by in his book,
So all the deviant thoughts
and ideologies at this time,
he critiqued them
and exposed their
deficiencies
and flaws.
So If you reach that level,
no one can say anything to you.
You can read whatever you want.
Is this clear to the questioner?
It's clear, Sheikh. If not the question, I
can always
message back.
The next question.
Please elaborate on the meaning of the verse,
Do not subscribe
purity to yourself.
Surat Najm.
He wants us to be humble,
so we should not attribute
to ourself. I am perfect.
And this is the the,
the nature of a Muslim. A Muslim is
has no and
arrogance in his heart.
So he's always
down to earth.
He does the righteous deeds,
and he tries his best.
And he consider himself
he didn't do anything.
And he considers any other Muslim better than
himself.
So you don't attribute
tazkiya,
purification to yourself that I am perfect. No.
Because we are human deeds. We are full
of mistakes, and you and
and, we cannot be sure that our deeds
are accepted by Allah
or perfect. No?
That's why we make a surafa, always. We
do the righteous deeds and make a surafa.
When we come from the salah, what do
you say the first thing you say?
What
do you say the first thing?
You just finished pass.
So why you ask forgiveness?
Yes.
I asked forgiveness because
of the deficiency in my prayer.
I was not concentrating,
so I beg Allah to forgive me
for all these
shortcomings,
for the lack of kushu and my salah,
for the wondering
of my minds in the salah.
So always, we are a Muslim is like
that.
We are always in this state of.
We do good deeds, and then we ask
Allah to accept, and we keep asking forgiveness
for our
shortcomings
and
the difficulties
in our deeds.
Is this clear to the questioner?
So you don't attribute
to yourself. Like, the the
chef is doing like this his hand,
kissing his feet.
Prostate for him
as if he is,
Like, you know,
his holiness, the pope.
People, they if they just see him and
he did this to them, oh,
I received his blessings
In Islam,
we don't make this. The prophet
he makes us all the time
asking the law for gifts.
He would pray the whole night until his
feet would swell.
And he said, shouldn't I be Abdan Shukura,
a grateful servant of Allah?
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
They can ask that permissible for men to
wear
a white Sound is cutting. Sound.
White is cutting.
Can you hear me now, sir?
Yes. Okay.
The next question. Is it permissible for men
to wear white gold?
So let us, first of all, try to
understand white gold.
If it is gold,
chemically, it is gold,
then no. Because gold is haram.
If you mean
white gold and you mean
platinum,
and people, they call it white gold, then
it's okay. But if it is gold,
but the color has been changed,
then it is haram.
The is haram for men.
Is this clear?
Alright. It's clear, Sheikh.
We go to the next question.
Dear respected Sheikh, what about if someone decides
to teach his daughter the holy Quran
and agreed with her to be a
and
make condition whoever wants to marry her if
you shall not stop teaching
and making spreading of the deen of Allah.
Is that okay?
No. It's not okay.
It's not okay to stimulate,
make it a condition
that my daughter has to be a.
You have no control over your daughter once
she gets married.
Whatever her husband tells her, she has to
follow him as long as he doesn't ask
her to do something.
She'll be a mother. I want her to
bring her children.
I want her to make her her children
scholars.
I'm not going to allow her to go,
for example,
to start lecturing and
giving talks and and leave her home.
I mean, if a husband says that,
he's not asking something or doing
commanding her to do something.
It's so you don't stimulate
and make this a condition.
Otherwise,
your daughter will remain with you.
K?
Just keep praying. Oh, Allah, I did my
part. Oh, Allah. I
will
bless her with the husband
who
will be both of them will be
and,
helping each other
to, serve your day. That is okay. That's
fine.
But to come to say, listen, my son.
My daughter memorized the Quran,
and it is a condition
that you have to make her and allow
her to make dua all the time.
When a husband marries a woman, he's not
marrying her because she's a caller and. He
wants her a wife.
Listen to me, my dear sisters.
If you are polybutterilim
and,
you are a woman, a wife.
Your husband wants you to be a wife.
You play the role of a woman, a
wife.
Many of the sisters who are religious,
they neglect this part in their life,
that feminine aspect,
nature.
A woman.
He wants his home to be second.
Allah called you second.
Husband doesn't want to come back and see
you
with the books writing.
No. He doesn't want that.
He wants you to receive him when he
comes.
He wants you to take him to the
table. Food is ready.
He wants to see you when he comes.
You dress up, and you smell nice, and
and you receive him with a smile and
nice smell and a flower. That's what he
wants to see.
Doesn't want to to stop looking for you.
Where is she? She's in the library
researching.
Doesn't want that.
I hope it is clear, the message to
all the systems.
Shall I discuss it? We'll go to the
next question.
Is using reason and Apple the same?
Yeah. Apple and Vision can be used in
that synonymously.
That means you rationalize you reason.
It's okay.
And our
dean tells us to reason,
to rationalize.
And, actually, our dean tells us those who
do not use their rationale, their
intellect, their minds, they are just like the
cattle.
They
are worse than the cattle as well. A
reality.
Next.
Next question, Sheikh.
Sheikh, you mentioned last Monday a book I
can read written by a Sheikh in the
kingdom about the tiraq.
Could you mention the book again, please?
About what?
The firaq.
Al firaq
Al Firak? Al Firak? Okay. Al Firak. Okay.
About you mean the,
the,
the groups or the sects?
I believe so. They spelt it, with a
q,
Farak.
Well, to Farak. Okay. Al Farak.
It is,
shall I remember his name now?
Otherwise, I will note it down. So coming
session,
I
will
mention his name in in the book.
We'll go to the next question for now.
I have been sent pictures of a deceased
member of the family.
I have asked not to be sent the
pics and have asked them to refrain.
What is the ruling on this?
The pictures
and the foe the photos of the deceased,
those people who died should not be, I
mean,
published and should not be,
I mean,
you can keep them in album and things
like that, but you don't share them and
send them to the to your families. What's
for? To renew the sorrow and the sadness?
No need for that.
Next question, please.
Next question.
Would ascribing purity yourself
include ascribing any good deed to yourself?
Is ruling haram or for ascribing purity to
yourself?
It can be haram. It can be haram
if you say, I am perfect. Who are
you?
Come on. That means
you think that
you are all are are are perfect, 100%.
Who can claim that?
And this shows our and
lack of.
If Allah accepted from me and he accepted
I will relax.
I will be happy
because that is sufficient for me
that Allah accepted it because Allah made it
a condition
that he will accept only from the muttaqeen,
the righteous.
You see, my dear brothers and sisters,
you know, the iman?
The stronger the iman,
the more sensitive the heart becomes.
The stronger the iman.
The heart becomes so sensitive.
It becomes this balance, this indicator, it is
more sensitive
than the
the scale or the balance the jeweler uses
to weigh
gold. So sensitive.
The weaker the iman,
the sensitivity
in our hearts like the balance of the
grocer.
You know the grocer balance, the scale?
When we put onion
and potatoes?
It will take time for the point to
move.
So our issue is imam,
weakness of imam, and we have arrogance. And
we think,
You hear many Muslim.
I pay the 5 prayers,
and,
I fast Ramadan.
This at the minimum.
Subhanallah.
When you read we read in the books
of Hadi
that the Sahaba, ibn Abi mulaikha, he said,
I saw this number
of the salaf and the Sahaba.
Everyone is afraid that he's a monaka.
Everyone is afraid that he's a monaka.
They fear hypocrisy.
They said
to their students
when
teaching them that we saw men. They they
mean the teacher, the salam, the Sahara.
There are certain deeds
we do today.
According to them, they are
they treat them as major sinners.
And we, today, we treat them like not
something
very light, like a fly
fell in one's nose, and you you did
like this.
Nothing.
Trivial.
So my dear brothers and sisters, let us
see Allah
and ask Allah and beg Allah and cry
to Allah to accept
and not to attribute
tazkiyah and purity to ourselves.
Always you accuse yourself.
Suspect yourself.
If the shaitan tells you you are, Masha'Allah,
better
than others
say, oh, Allah, save me from the satanic
whispers. I know myself
better than anyone
better than anyone.
Is this clear?
Charlotte, it's Claire Sheikh. Otherwise, they can ask
back. We'll go to the next question.
I have a question regarding vaccination if it
breaks
the fast.
No.
The jab will not break your fast.
Do not.
Injection, normally, they do not, except the ones
that bellicose,
that one which is you can live on
it. That breaks the fast because that's considered
nutritional.
Next question, please.
Sheikh, that was the final question of tonight's
session.
If you'd like to conclude.
May Allah
bless you. Bless your family.
Protect you. Protect your family. May Allah
grant us the beneficial knowledge and
May
Allah elevate your status in this world
and in the hereafter.
May Allah
reward
you immensely, may dear brothers and sister for
your patience, dedication, and attendance.
Till we meet
in the coming session,
I leave you in Allah's company and protection.
