Okay. Brothers and sisters,
welcome to our weekly class
of virtues of Islam with our honorable Sheikh
Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
This is lesson number 25.
I will pass the mic and the screen
to the Sheikh and
the Sheikh can begin.
This is our weekly class,
Islam,
virtues in Islam.
In the last session, we talked about the
Islamic,
the Islamic creed.
And
today, you will continue
to talk about the
importance of the hapida
and what does it do
in one's life
as we know that every human being has
to have
a a type of.
K.
Source of beliefs.
Something he believes
in, irrespective whether that thing which he believes
in is right or wrong. That's another issue.
But
to believe in something, it is essential
in the life of a human being.
So every human being
has a,
something he believes in.
But when this belief is correct and sound,
It brings about a tremendous
change
in the life of the individual.
So the
deen of al Islam
and the message of al Islam
focuses
mainly on this
the issue of
the belief itself,
instills it, inculcates it,
embeddings
it.
It's
this belief
down into the core of the heart.
Once this relief
has penetrated
your entire being and touched your heart,
then
the fruit of this, the fruit of this
belief will be manifested and shown
in the actions of this individual
and will transform
the
the movement, the the believer's
life
entirely.
And that is exactly
what
the Islamic
did
to the savage
nomadic
tribes,
the Arabs.
Before Islam,
they were just
busy killing each other.
For the
for silly reasons,
worshiping
idols,
bearing the daughters alive.
So what caused that medical?
What transformed
their life?
It's this.
This belief,
the sound belief
transform the arts from
unnoticed,
neglected
nation.
No one pays attention to them.
The 2 superpowers
use them
to fight each other, to kill each other.
The Persian's
empire
uses
the Menadira.
So if they want to
discipline the types, they send their own cousins
and to
bring them under the control
and to make them obedient
to the
majesty
of the emperor.
The same thing when the Romans, they want
to control the other types.
They send their own cousins, the,
to bring them under control.
So that was the situation of the Arabs
before Islam,
fighting each other,
killing each other,
Alcoholic.
As Jaffa
explained
thoroughly
to
the Najashi,
and he told him that we were either
worshippers, eating the dead animals, bearing our doses
alive, drinking alcohol,
fornicating,
all these ills
and vices,
we were
and do it.
Then Allah chose from among us a prophet
who instructs us to
leave, worshiping the idols, worship
the one who created the heavens and the
earth, who created
us. We do not we should not eat
the dead. We should not bury our dojails,
etcetera.
We
should quit drinking alcohol,
all these biases.
The same thing when
rebir ibn Aamer
was sent
to Gostom,
the commander of the Persians.
Rostam, he looks upon him.
You fools, Arabs,
how to approach you?
You got hungry?
We know you that you come to us
only when not hungry.
You want food.
So the British said, yes. That is true.
We used to be like that.
We used to be like that, but we
are not like that anymore.
We are being
revived,
sent forth.
We were dead, but Allah has directed us
spiritually.
We used to be like that.
But we are sent forth by Allah
to bring mankind.
From the worship
of worshiping
to worship Allah,
our creator,
the creator of mankind.
And to bring people from the tyranny
and the injustice
of earthly
religions
to the justice of Al Isla.
From the tyranny of the emperors and the
dictators
to the justice of Al Isla.
And from the narrowness of this worldly life
to the vastness of the hereafter.
These are the beautiful words
of
the
who articulated
and assert in the presence of the
person's
funeral.
So what
transformed
the character
of the grave?
It is the that settled
and saturated
his heart,
and
it is spread throughout his entire being.
So now he has clear
vision,
clarity.
He knows the purpose of his life.
So it is this that
changed the Arabs.
So our theater is not something
just
static,
inactive.
In one's heart, no.
It is a dynamic force.
A beat is a dynamic force.
It mobilizes
and moves the individual.
As you know, my dear brothers and sisters,
there are 3 circles interconnected.
Three circles. I want you to draw 3
circles.
The outer circle,
then next one, and most inner one.
The outer circle is the circle of the
knowledge,
the knowledge itself.
The second circle, the circle of reaction.
Almost inner one, the circle of action.
K r a, knowledge, reaction, action.
So
when you hear anything,
any event
this event
enters and becomes
part of your the first circle. It enters
into the first circle. It becomes known to
you
known to you.
It's
it becomes part of information,
knowledge.
Something happened. Now
this news
entered into
the domain, the circle of
knowledge.
You know about it.
Does it just remain there? No.
You will react to this information
that you received.
There will be a reaction to it,
either negative reaction or positive reaction.
If it is a good news,
you will be happy. You will rejoice.
So you will react.
Will this
information
will remain lingering
within the circle of reaction,
or it will be
moved,
and it will be manifested
and interpreted into action.
It will be materialized.
So I suggest
confirmation.
I heard about something.
Oh,
you passed your exam.
Good.
Feel happy.
Start jumping,
hugging your dad, your mom, your sister, your
brothers.
I scores, hey. I passed or I got
admission.
Okay.
After that, the action, what will happen? There
will be an action.
What to do now?
So you will take an action.
What are the prerequisites of other requirements of
the
the
university
and what they need from me? So you
will take an action.
So any
piece of information, any event, it passes through
this circuit.
Nully, you're the accurate, then action.
If this
is bad news,
for example,
you receive that one of your dear ones,
your loved ones passed away.
Again, confirmation,
normally, you knew about it, then you react,
and your reaction will depend
on your iman.
If you are a.
Will you just carry on?
No.
After the reaction, there'll be action. You start
picking up the phone, calling the people, informing
them,
making
the arrangements for the burial,
the burial watch and the burial, etcetera, and
the funeral.
So anything,
my dear brothers and sisters,
any event will go through these true sir
3 circles,
Noli,
the action, action.
And these three circles should be interconnected
interconnected.
One leads to the other.
If these circles are isolated,
disconnected
from each other, that is a big problem.
Big problem.
When you know
and guess what remains as knowledge.
It doesn't affect your heart. It doesn't affect
your attitude and behavior.
Leave alone to take an action. That is
very dangerous.
That is just like
the knowledge
of Iblis,
satanic.
Iblich had knowledge. Did that knowledge benefit him?
Did he absent according to that knowledge? No.
So if there is you know that your
three circles are disconnected,
then you should know that you are in
trouble.
Let us take an example.
Fire
started
in your
neighbor's house.
There was a fire.
So you see now the fire, and the
fire is moving
towards your house.
Are you going to sit down and say,
I know it is a fire. I know
it.
No?
Unless you are insane.
You lost your sanity.
Do not sit down because this is fire.
It's going to burn you.
So you will react,
and then you take an action
and evacuate the place
and take your family out,
and you will call the fire brigade.
But this is fire, and, you know, it
burns. It will,
roast you,
and you'll be
burnt.
So you will react
and take an action.
And this is regarding the fire of the
dunya.
How about the fire of the?
We know there is hellfire.
We know there is Jahannam.
And what was our reaction?
Are we afraid?
Do we call Allah and ask Allah and
beg Allah to save us
from entering the fire?
And what are our actions?
Do we avoid
the things that will take us to the
hellfire?
Do we avoid committing haram?
Do we control all our 5 senses from
committing haram?
If we believe that there is fire and
the hellfire
and which is true,
and then we have to react,
and we have to be afraid of it.
Tells us.
And then there should be action.
Not only action.
No. Action.
Avoid the hellfire. Yes. In the same way,
you run away from a fire that broke
in
the door next door in the house next
door,
and you evacuated your own house,
and you
took out your family,
and you called the fire brigade,
you should behave in the same manner.
Evacuate.
Leave the place of the sin.
Save your family from the fire,
and ask the people
to put that fire
out,
to extinguish that fire.
That place which
there are sins committed,
Ask the authority to remove that evil,
those who are in charge.
But if we
remain seeking, crossing our legs
oh, yes. We know there is hellfire. We
know there is Jahannam,
and that's it. But then the circles are
disconnected.
There's no connectivity
from between them,
and such a person is in big trouble.
So keep this in mind.
The problem that many of us
yes, we know knowledge knowledge, we know about
it,
that you have only,
but there's no amal, which is the re
the action,
and there's no reaction,
fear,
and
change in one's attitude and behavior.
This is due to the
misunderstanding
of the concept of and
the concept of iman.
So many Muslim, they think iman is faith,
and that's it in the heart.
It has nothing to do with my changing
my life, my attitude, and behavior.
No need for no need for
the absence of the limbs. No need to
pay. No need to pass. No need for
the car.
No need for, etcetera.
Yes.
Now such a person,
all these three circles
are disconnected.
They do not communicate with each other.
The links are and cut.
So everyone knows themselves. Check the date, your
circles.
Are they connected
or not?
So
the that's
what they did to the Arabs.
The are connected.
They received the information, the knowledge from
above
through the revelation,
the Quran,
through the
and
the sunnah of the
and the the to that.
And then
things were
manifested
through all the actions.
Their life changed
entirely,
totally.
That's what made
these
Arab tribes
and converted them from 7 tribes
into Bearer
and Callia
of light
and mercy
for humanity.
They left their peninsula
taking this light of Al Islam and the
guidance
to others.
This that
made
to cry and weep
when he saw the
the monk
in his way to
Jerusalem.
And he saw
the monk in his
soma,
place of worship,
k, and the art of the church
performing ablution.
When you saw the monk was doing that,
he cried.
He cried,
said, no.
Wept,
and he said,
he let a
hard worker,
but all is this in vain.
He thinks he's going to heaven when he's
going to *.
I will let you know.
So he felt pity for the monk and
cried.
What softened Omar's heart?
It
is this,
the Islam.
It is this Aqidah that made him
all the time crying.
So I must show that they said there
were 2
tracks, black lines on his cheeks
because of his tears.
This is Umar the chiffon runs away
from him.
If
Umar
walks in this street, the chiffon takes the
another one.
Though before Islam, they were together,
friends, close friends.
After Islam, the shiffan runs away from.
What made the shiffan to run away from?
It is.
The deal,
the delays
that was instilled in his heart,
This is the one that made
to
be
always in state of fear.
It is this that
that
made every night.
He will
do self inventory
to Hasidah.
He would hedge his feet,
and he would say, where did you go
today?
He would say, woe to me.
I wish my mother didn't give birth to
me.
If I sleep the night, I will lose
myself.
If I sleep during the day, I will
lose my subject. What to do?
What made a home out like that?
Is this
this made him to feel
responsible
and the heaviness of responsibility
on his shoulders. When he said,
if a mule a mule in Iraq
fell off a cliff,
Omar will be questioned
by Allah about that mule
because I did not bathe the way
for the animals.
So this what the idea does because those
Sahara,
the circles,
the communication
is so fast.
No reaction, action.
Immediately, everything into action,
not like us.
No delay.
No delay.
Action.
Yes. I say it. I'm sorry. Muslim
of the Allah our
mother.
And
the came down,
she said, may Allah's mercy upon the woman
of the onslaught.
When
the came down,
all of them appeared in the prayer
dressed in black
from head to toes
as if there are clothes,
the black birds.
If there
as if there are clothes clothes
sitting on their heads.
No delay.
No delay
because the circles are healthy.
Action immediately.
Not
I'm a Muslim.
Are you? Yes.
And my name is Islamic name.
Where is the hijab?
Oh, Islam is here.
Iman is here.
Where is the dress?
Why you are not dressing decently?
Oh, Iman is here.
My dear sister, wake up.
There's no Iman there.
You are deceiving yourself.
There is information
only, not iman,
because iman is not information.
It's not just to have something in your
heart. No.
Remember, 3 elements constitute the imam.
That,
faith,
that you have,
your heart,
then
your actions
and your articulations
and
your utterance,
which is a means of interpreting
what you have in your heart. You ex
express it verbally,
so we know you are a Muslim, and
then
actions.
Hijab,
salah,
suyam,
zakah,
Hajj,
modesty,
everything.
But just to say it is here
no. Sorry.
You are
mistaken.
Check your circles.
Yeah. Just
like someone say, I know. Yes. I know.
Yeah. Yeah. There is fire next door. I
know. I know. Let us enjoy our meal,
and the fire is coming.
If a person behaves like that, he's crazy
because the fire fire is going
to burn the entire house,
and soon they will become ashes.
So if you everyone is
is just stabbing his heart, Iman is near,
he is crazy, he or she.
K. But the Sahaba, totally different.
As hijab Kandan,
Next day, prayer in the morning.
They are all covered from.
No arguing.
Finish.
That's what the does.
Hamel was prohibited in the final phase.
Finally, prohibited
forever.
The news reaches the Sahara,
and they were drinking, shipping alcohol.
The one who was pouring for them
looked at the
the the gathering.
It's
what are you looking for?
What are you waiting?
Spit it out.
Smow it.
They didn't finish what they had in their
cups.
Fill
it out, throw it away,
and
they went to their homes,
and everyone brought out the stock.
The clay pots
full of wine,
smashed them on the roads.
The narration said there were streams of alcohol
because
the circles are healthy.
Knowledge,
then your budget, very active,
and action.
This
transformed
the life of Mus'ab Ibn Khomeyid.
Mus'ab who was
the
grown
up with
golden spoon in his mouth.
His family well off. His mother
provides
everything for her.
He wears the most
he would wear the most expensive clothes.
He would wear the most
expensive perfumes.
If he passed here, you know that must
have passed here.
After Islam,
what the Aqidah did to him?
He was wearing silk.
Their tires are made of silk and Mecca
before Islam.
Became Muslim
migrated to Medina.
Now he's wearing
sheepskin,
skin of a sheep
instead of the silk he used to wear
before Islam.
When the saw
him,
he told the Sahaba, see what Islam did
to
Musa,
what he before
and now.
He threw the dunya behind his back.
Dunya is not everything,
because now
he taste the iman.
He enjoys the sweetness
and the delightfulness
of iman in his heart.
So he sacrifices
everything.
Dunya?
That's
it.
Because now
he knows his direction.
He knows his destiny.
He knows
his real home
and the real future.
The. Transient.
Everything here is transient.
We will leave everything.
Son of a of a woman.
No matter how long he lives,
one day he will be carried
in the bill.
He'll be carried
to his
grave.
Long as long
as you wish, you will die.
You
will
die.
Every one of us will die,
So we need to wake up
and know exactly
our mission in the dunya.
And make this this belief dynamic,
and it should
affect
and bring change
in our life.
This made
And
by the way,
was not a Roman. He
was an Arab.
But as you know, those days,
you steal people's children,
and you sell them as slaves.
So he was sold as a slave.
And he had wealth,
and then he became a Muslim.
And
when
he decided
to join the
the Muslims in Medina,
Quraish followed him.
Now he's going to make Ijira to join
with the prophet
in Medina.
Quraish followed him.
Said,
when you came to us,
you were broke,
poor,
and you became wealthy.
So he told him,
I will give you 2 options.
If you are looking for travel, I'm ready
for it.
And all of you
know me.
I am a professional
archer.
I don't miss the bull eyes the bull's
eye.
And the quiver
is full of arrows,
have loads of arrows.
You know me very well.
I don't miss the target.
So each arrow will be in the heart
of each one of you.
So if you are looking for troubles,
if you are looking for the money, for
the wealth, I didn't take it.
I'm not
taking my wealth with me and my money
with me. My wealth, my money is there
in Mecca, in this place.
Go and take it. They said we are
only interested in your money.
We don't want troubles.
No.
What made
to
do
that?
Because he
wants
to join with
the. Money
doesn't matter.
Throw it away.
Take
it.
But I will not
compromise
my faith and my deen.
When your deed is at the stake
and the threat,
dunya,
it's nothing.
This is my mercy to all of the
brothers and sisters who are living in the
west
and America and Europe.
When your dean at the stake,
when you are going to lose your dean,
and your children are going to lose their
dean.
Read everything and do like Swahave did.
Is nothing.
The most important thing is the deen.
He arrived in Medina.
Was received by the prophet.
What did the prophet
tell Suhaib?
What did they tell him?
Did he sympathize with him?
I'm sorry that you lost your what? No.
No. No.
Not at all.
What did he tell him?
The dealing you made was profitable.
The transaction you made with your laws
was profitable.
You were a winner.
Yeah. Well, you were not a loser.
You left the money
for Allah's sake.
You'll be compensated
and rewarded
tremendously
and immensely
in the for that.
The transaction,
the deal
was profitable.
You made a lot of profit.
You are the winner
because you left everything for the sake of
Allah.
Sheikh of Allah.
Are we ready to sacrifice
for our deen?
To save our deen?
Or we are ready to sell the deal,
to lose the deal,
to lose our children
as long as we will remain having
happy,
complacent
life. If you are like, so hey.
God bless you.
You. Wake up before it is too late
and attend
and come back to Allah
and fix your circles
and turn to Allah.
This what the Aqidah does.
Akita is not
just having
set of
beliefs in the heart, and that's it.
Akita
is a way of life.
It changes the person.
Our Sheikh,
Mustafa Makkir al Ajahari
I mentioned this many times.
He told us,
I and
my brothers,
who
we attend his circles.
He said,
listen,
my children, my sons.
Imam,
one of the 2.
Al
Between 2 states.
So you said there are 2 states of
the imam.
Either.
It is so strong. Your imam is so
strong,
so it becomes.
It partializes
you. It partializes
you.
Express
on you.
So it forces you. The iman forces you
to
change your life
and to tell the truth
and not to be afraid of anyone
but your creator
when the iman is strong.
But if the iman is,
press your eyes. The iman itself
is under your thumb, under your control.
The iman is so weak.
You don't see any change. You will not
have a change
see any change in your life.
You'll be always in state of fear,
a state of humility
because the iman is weak.
So here, the iman of Sahayr
was his tongue.
Specialized him.
Make a job.
Join the prophet.
Leave everything. Don't worry about anything.
And
he did that.
And he arrived in
Edina
and received
by his beloved one, the prophet.
And he got the good news.
Oh,
can you imagine, visualize the
scene
when he's received by the and
then he heard these beautiful words?
You deal with Allah, the transaction,
the giving out of your worth was indeed
profitable one.
You made a lot of profit.
You can't imagine
the happiness
of of
the Allah
when hearing such glad news.
Change the life of Alhansa.
Alhansa.
Is a poetess.
The poetess.
She was known before Islam.
When her brother
passed away.
She composed many poems,
phasing him
and crying over him.
Maybe I missed the perfect verse,
the beginning of it.
At the end of
it,
He's saying
The
travelers
at night,
the
who are traveling in the desert
are guided by him.
He's just like the Alam. Alam means doesn't
mean flag.
Alam means mountain.
Like a mountain, and on top of the
mountain, there is fire.
So if you are traveling in the desert
and the highest
think in the desert will be the
the mountain, and in top of the mountain,
there's fire, then you will know your direction,
and you'll be guided.
So she is
facing her brother.
And she said,
He's saying that her brother,
okay, he's a tall man,
and there are a lot of ashes
around his house.
When you have a lot of ashes, that
means a lot of cooking,
that means you receive
many guests.
Especially in winter,
you see a large
pile of ashes, which means he is
generous,
and he is visited by the people.
And he feeds them,
and he
receives
them.
So she was facing her brother.
Then she became Muslim,
and how life
changed
entirely.
Entirely. Taking the battle of Paducia,
or your mook, one of the battles.
Before the battle started, you call her 4
children.
She called them. Come
to talk to them.
She told them, listen, my children.
Indeed,
you are the children of your father,
meaning
I'm a chaste woman. I never
cheated your father.
So you are legitimate
children,
and I don't want to see you coming
back to me.
Fight until you die.
Tell each of you,
We will only meet in the Jannah.
Is it the same concept
that was kind of the time of her
brother
now sending her own children
to the battlefield,
telling them I don't want to see you
coming to see you coming back?
Yes. The same Khansha.
A different Aqidah today.
Different iman.
She's a Muslim today.
My dear sisters,
make that consider your role model.
This was the Umrah's in need of.
Her children were murdered,
and you reach her.
Her. He said, who
honored me.
This is an honor that he accepted them
as masters.
This
is
what
the
does.
And it's in a novel
in the battle of
Uhud.
You know, in the battle of Uhud, Oher,
the told the not to evacuate and leave
their posts, the positions, irrespective of the result
of the battle, the fight.
In the beginning, the Muslims were having the
upper hand,
so the archers came down. Sayed nah Khaled
ibn Waleed, by then, he was not a
Muslim. He spotted
that the archers were leaving the position, so
he came from behind.
Okay?
And
you know what's happened to the Muslims?
Hamza was martyred.
The prophet,
his mother's teeth was broken.
Shaytan screamed,
said Mohammed died.
Many of the Sahaba dropped down their swords.
So Anas came to that,
and he saw them sitting. He said, what
happened? He said, the prophet died. He said,
what is the benefit of you living after
him? Get up and die
like him.
He picked his sword,
and he ran towards the enemies.
He met Sad in the way. He said,
Sad,
I am smelling the Jannah doing.
I smelled the janna before the mountain of.
Come.
He
was smelling the janna.
And I said, enough,
when they were searching
for him
among the dead,
those who were murdered,
they could not recognize him,
totally disfigured,
slashed by swords
everywhere,
wounds all over the body covered in blood.
Only his sister recognized him
by his toe.
This what that did last, my dear brothers
and sisters.
Bilal,
our master.
Bilal al Habashi.
What he went through is something
unbearable.
They were dragging him on the hearts,
scorching,
sands,
and summer,
naked.
Only piece of cloth covering has by its
part.
On top of that,
there is rock.
There's a big
stone
sitting on his chest
and the lashes.
And he was only saying.
He said later,
by Allah,
the sweetness of
overcame
all the pain and the agonies.
I was enjoying
enjoying
only the sweetness
of.
When his master
failed,
he didn't know what to do.
When Abu Bakr passed by him, he said,
I will set him free.
I will buy him.
Said,
anything you pay,
I will give it to him. Even if
it is 1 dinner. He said,
if you ask me
for
a load of gold,
I'll give it to you.
It's worth
more than that,
and you became free,
Saidna
Bilal.
And the Sahaba used to say,
our master
set free our master.
They meant our
master
Bilal.
And Allah, the prophet,
he
made him the.
He is the one chanting the other
in Medina.
And in the year of the Fatah of
Makkah, when they entered Makkah,
he told him, go
and climb
a
that they used to torture you
to see how Allah elevated your status,
how Allah elevated your status.
So no wonder, my dear brothers and sisters,
that our beloved prophet
he spent 13 years in Mecca
instilling
this
that I've cleaved, that I believe
in the companion's hearts and minds.
And he continued
doing that until he approached it
and
removed.
Paganism.
Idolatry.
Egoism,
self conceit,
all these ills from their hearts.
May Allah
sense in our iman and your iman.
And may Allah
make us continue
treading
on the path of our beloved prophet and
his companions.
May Allah raise us in their company.
And may Allah
keep us remain
steadfast
on this beautiful deen, al Islam,
and may Allah make us die upon al
Islam. And then may Allah make the last
words we uttered and
before we die.
May Allah forgive us our faults and states
and ignorance.
And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala unite our
and may Allah unite our hearts and
and may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
immensely for your patience and attendance.
The admin is unable
to be here today. We have to say
for this beautiful class.
Lots of reminders and advice to implement into
our own lives.
And by the
permission, if we can take some questions.
Insha'Allah.
Is there a difference between shirk of obedience
and doing a sin out of the fear
of someone?
If so, please explain.
Yes. The shirk of obedience,
it is a major shirk
and takes one out of the fold of
Islam
takes one out of the fold of Islam.
And an example of that,
the
what the
the priest and the rabbis
from among the people of the scriptures,
they adulterated the scriptures,
modified,
deleted,
and the people
listened to what they did and obeyed them
and followed them.
As Allah said,
So they have taken
their rabbis,
their priest
as lords Arbaab,
besides Allah,
and Jesus Christ, the son of Mary.
And when the prophet
here that this ayah,
Ali ibn Hati was Christian before,
he objected, and he said,
oh, prophet of Allah, we did not
worship them. We didn't take them as Arabah.
He understood
that the prophet meant that they worshiped the
the rabbis and the priest, and they said
they were bowing and prostrating before them.
So the prophet
explained to him the real worship of the
rabbis and the and the the priest.
And he explained to him how they worshiped
them. He said,
didn't they, the rabbis and the priest, didn't
they make
the lawful, unlawful?
What is haram? They made it halal.
And they made
the unlawful, the haram, lawful halal?
He said, yes.
And then you followed them.
You followed what they they did
and
trained.
He said, yes. We followed them.
So that's how you worship them,
and that's how you took them as lords
besides Allah.
So this is
shirk
afar
or shirk of obedience.
K? So if we follow the legislators,
someone legislates,
and then we accept that legislation.
Then we have worshiped that legislator,
and we have taken him as lord besides
Allah,
just like the Jews and the Christians did.
So if anyone legislates,
if anyone makes the lawful and lawful and
the unlawful lawful,
if he was a Muslim, after doing this,
he is not a Muslim anymore.
He left Ishmael.
This is
because he has made himself
equal to Allah.
Because the one who makes halal and haram,
only Allah.
Nobody else.
No one.
So the one who says this is lawful,
this is unlawful only Allah, the.
So what he tells he tells us, so
it is
We say, this is This is halal.
But he told us, this is he said,
this is
Alcohol haraam will remain hannah.
Zina haraam will remain
haraam.
If someone
comes and say, we'll make a law
to make alcohol halal,
to make prostitution
and zina halal,
and we need you to vote.
So if you vote, then take this takes
you out of Islam.
Because Allah says hamak
is halal, and you are saying no. No.
We are goats.
We make it halal.
Right? So you have giving yourself
divinity.
You are making yourself
partner, equal.
So Allah
So this
is shirk
katha,
which is falls under the major shirk.
Regarding
if you obey someone
and you
out of fear and you commit something haram,
then this is a sin.
This is a sin.
Because fear
are for there are 4 categories or 4
types.
Fear
can be classified divided into 4
types of categories.
Type of fear considered to be an act
of worship, and that is to fear Allah.
And this
is.
So for the one who fears Allah, there
will be 2.
2nd type of fear, which is shirk,
polytheistic
fear,
and to be afraid of things that
cannot harm you,
to fear the dead
the dead.
Say, this saint
will do this to you
if you don't do that.
So such fear is shirk
because the dead cannot harm you,
cannot cause any harm to you.
3rd type of fear,
which is
haram
or habitat.
It is a sin.
And to be afraid and to fear human
being, and because of this fear, you commit
something haram.
For example, your boss
tells you we have a party today,
so come to the party.
And, you know, they are going to drink
alcohol and dancing and all that stuff.
And your iman is.
It's not bothered. It's so weak, so you
went.
So this type of fear is
a sin. It's a sin.
It's a sin.
So you need to repent
and ask Allah forgiveness.
The 4th type
of fear
is
natural,
something embedded.
Allah
made it inside each one of us,
So it is built within each one of
us
to be afraid of,
harmful things.
We fear afraid of you fear the fire,
wild animals,
torrents, volcanoes,
earthquakes.
So this is natural fear,
and the law
will not blame anyone if he has this
natural
fear.
For example,
the Musa alaihis salaam, as you know,
he came and he saw found
one of Bani Israel fighting with 1 of
the Egyptians.
And Musa alaihis salaam was very strong, so
he
hit the Egyptian, and the Egyptian fell down
dead.
So now Musa
is afraid of the Egyptians.
They will come for and ask for
the blood
to retaliate,
to take revenge,
as Allah described. And for us
The next day, he is in the city
in
the town.
Is in state of fear.
You have to look up looking right, left,
expecting
that people will attack him. Search will be
looking and
searching for him, and that's why he fled
to Madian, as you know. So this type
of fear
is natural fear. I hope this is clear
to the questioner.
Yes.
Sister Anne Brin, we'll ask you to unmute
your mic.
Are you the one who asked about
grammar last time?
No.
Oh, okay.
Okay. So a group of my friends,
they want to get into the habit of
reciting Quran
in the morning every day.
So they have asked me to start an
online session
where we will recite maybe 1 or 2
pages every morning to each other.
Now if I agree to do this,
I will be reciting less Quran
because I can recite more Quran if I'm
alone.
But if I agree to hold this session,
I will be helping them
recite Quran every day and inshallah, get into
a habit of reciting the Quran.
So is it better for me to continue
to recite as I usually do on my
own,
or should I agree to help them?
Okay. Before I answer the question, I'll give
you
a rule.
The rule says that
when the benefit,
okay,
is
transitive
in the sense that it is not confined
to myself, it also helps others,
then the reward is more than when the
benefit remains
confined and limited to me only.
Are you following?
Yes. Yes. Sure.
For example,
to
spend the night
preparing for the study circle
is better and has more reward
for me than getting up and pray to
Hajjid.
Because if I pray to Hajjid, I am
the one who's going to reap the benefits
only.
But spending most of the night preparing and
searching
and benefiting others,
so the reward is more.
The reward is more. And that's why you'll
see the salaf. They are saying,
seeking their aim and studying their aim and
revising
is better than the MLA
because the benefit,
okay,
with each others. And they say
if
the intention is pure.
K? Coming to your question,
you are
teaching them,
encouraging them,
correcting their dissertation.
At the same time,
you are following their reading, so you are
reading with them as well.
So when you are listening and you are
opening the most half and you are if
you are this you decide to, for example,
every day one or half a,
so that you like to have a, one
with them.
Are you following?
Well, it'll be just, like, 1 or 2
pages that each will be reciting. So it'll
be like, the quantity will be less.
So each one will read 2 pages or
they will keep repeating?
No. Because it we have limited time, maybe
just half an hour every morning. So it's
like every individual will maybe be reciting just
maybe 2 pages each.
Okay. Fine. So how many of you? So
maybe you will read 1 user every day.
Right?
25 20 minutes. Maybe less than that.
Okay. Fine. And this will take only 1
hour, is it?
With less than that. I I was telling
them I was thinking maybe just just to
half an hour so I can do my
own recitation and come for Let's say 1
hour. Okay? K. Okay. How many hours are
there in the day?
24.
So remain with 23.
So you have plenty of time. Don't let
the to
stop you from this. Okay? Okay.
Go ahead.
May I accept from from us all?
One more question, if I may ask you
about this hadith, the founder in Sahih Muslim,
where the prophet
said,
the translation of which is recite Surah Al
Baqarah as there is blessing in it, and
there is sorrow in leaving it, and the
sorceress cannot defeat it.
Now
how much of the Surah do we need
to recite every day to gain its blessing?
All of it entirely.
And and I and the same hadith also
mentions,
actually, Zaha Wayn.
Surah Baqarah the recitation of Surah Baqarah and
al Imran, and then you get the intercession
on Yomul Qiyama. So does that again mean
both the Suras in one day?
Yes.
Yes. K. You read the 2 surahs.
And if you memorize them, they will be
coming like
2 clouds or
plate of birds on the day of resurrection.
Okay. Alright. Okay.
Next question, please.
Okay. Yes. When a woman does,
some of her arm beyond the wrist
gets exposed.
Can we say it's valid because it's temporary
and a small area
or it's intentional
as a different clothing could have been chosen.
And she's doing her daily chores at home?
No. During it must be during well, during
the salah.
No. No. No? It'll be inside it'll be
inside. When a woman does rafah al yadine,
some of her, during she's praying, some of
her are beyond the risk. Well, I would
say say in the home and outside the
home maybe.
Can we say it's valid because it's temporary
and a small area,
or it's intentional
as a different clothing could have been chosen?
Okay. Listen to me, my dear sisters.
The entire body of a woman is,
the
hadith says.
And this means they entire.
Like
the
all the animals,
all the types of blood.
That means the entire body of a woman
is
should be covered,
except her face and her hands.
If they are shown in the salah,
that one is okay.
So make sure that your your sleeves will
not fall down. And if they will
fall down, wear something underneath,
like
a sweater or something that the
the the the sleeves, they reach here.
But
when you know
that
when you go
raise your hands, this will the sleeves will
fall and your hands will become numb.
Should not do that. The same thing. Make
sure your feet are covered in the salah.
So take
your salah
the way you dress in the salah seriously
because your whole body is out.
I hope this is clear to the question.
Is it okay for anyone
or a group of Muslims
to claim that they've studied almost everything in
religion
and that you cannot
teach them anything.
These people, even if you show them with
clear evidence, they don't take because they believe
that they have covered almost everything.
Would you mind repeating that?
Okay.
It's okay for a group of Muslims to
claim that they studied almost everything in their
religion
and that you cannot teach them anything? A
group of Muslim, they claim they studied everything
in the religion? Yes. And you cannot teach
them anything, even if you come to them
with
clear evidence.
Okay. So if a person, he claims that
he
covered everything, he knew everything about the deen,
Okay.
Assalamu alaikum.
You know everything,
and we know that
no one knows everything.
So you know more than the scholars. You
know more than the 4 imams. You know
more than
the Sahaba. You know you know all the
deen.
This is the peak of kibir. This is
the you
hit the the pinnacle
of arrogance.
You don't have
a mustard seed
of humility
and happiness.
When Allah says,
what you have got of knowledge is very
little,
and you claim that you know everything,
God bless you.
Don't waste your time with such arrogant people.
Don't waste your time.
May Allah guide them.
This is very, very dangerous.
Remember
the knowledge how many spans?
These spans. Right?
Three phases.
The first is span
when you start seeking knowledge,
you feel
I know everything.
People are ignorant
when you just start it. And this phase
1, this is plan 1,
is very risky phase.
If you remain lingering there,
you'll be ruined.
In this phase, you see,
yesterday, he was in the night club or
she was in the night club, and today,
oh,
Imam Abu Hanifa is wrong.
Imam Shaver is mistaken.
Come on. Come on, baby.
What are you talking about?
You forgot yourself a lot.
This is phase number 1,
span 1. That's why they say.
If you are in
span 1, you are
oh, this is the most risky phase.
You have to cause it quickly and pass
this phase.
Then if you move further and you enter
phase 2, stage number 2,
you start to cool.
K. Maybe phase 1 will take you 1
year, 2 year.
Then you're going to phase 2, and you
enter. Now you start to realize, oh,
I was mistaken.
Knowledge is not what I thought of.
And then if you proceed and finish phase
2,
you enter into phase 3, scan 3,
and you start laughing at yourself,
at your stupidity,
at your naivety,
and you because now you start to discover
your ignorance,
and you know that you know nothing.
You know nothing.
Say,
the moment you say, I know, you become
ignorant.
When you say, I know everything, you become
ignorant.
The Greek philosopher, I think, Aristotle, he say,
the thing that I know is that I
don't know.
I don't know. Every day, I learn, so
I don't know.
My knowledge is little.
Is this clear to the question?
Yes.
My dad has passed away 1 year ago,
and I'm gathering people for his
for his 1 year remembrance.
Is it allowed in Islam?
No. This is.
We don't have this anniversary
and commemorating
the
the death of our beloved ones and celebrate
every year or 40 days every 40 days,
people, they do that
annually
or day after 40 days of the of
the death
or annually. This all
innovations, so
don't do that.
And make dua for your parents, for your
father. May Allah forgive him, and may Allah
grant him admission into the Jannah by his
mercy and grace, army.
And make to
gather the people,
okay,
and read the Quran and make and all
that all these are
without
innovations in the deal.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Yes.
Dear honorable
Sheikh. What about if a gentleman
leaves his wife and children
in the home
and he goes to work in another country
and goes and goes and comes back to
his
wife, but she stay they're staying in the
house with no.
Is it permissible or or not?
He leaves his children at home? And his
yes. And his wife in their house,
and he goes to work in another country.
Okay.
Is it permissible for him to do that?
The answer, yes. It is permissible that he
is earning for their livelihood,
And this is the case. Many most
men, they
they leave their country. They work in other
countries, and they go to their families
after 1 year or less than that, or
they he according to
what they agree, he agreed with his wife.
K?
Because circumstances
compelled him to do that.
However,
if she feels
that she cannot wait,
okay, and she might
fall into haram because she is away from
her husband and he is away from her,
then either to be patient
or to ask for the love, and that's
her right.
K.
But
for a husband to be away from his
wife,
that is
if there are
there is a dire need for that,
for earning,
their livelihood,
it is permissible. And the Sahaba, they used
to go for jihad.
And,
said Omar,
one night, he was that was his way,
his sunnah.
At night, he would be
patrolling and going to Medina.
And who heard the woman
singing and chanting that night,
saying that
what a long night,
and they have no
one
okay.
She is complaining, and she is longing for
having her husband.
The kabbalah has a lay was with the
journey, but this is a long night
and dark night,
and I have no Khalil. I have no
lover. I have no husband
to sleep with.
Had it not because of the fear of
Allah, this bed would be shaken.
And said, Nur Umar heard that. He got
frightened.
Right?
He asked he then he went and
asked his daughter the next day. He asked
his daughter,
Hafsa.
Said, Hafsa, help your father.
Help your father.
Tell me the truth.
How long can a woman
wait
without a husband?
So she told him,
maybe 6 months.
He can tolerate up to 6 months.
So immediately, he issued a decree.
No mujahide should remain on the frontiers
for more than 4 months.
1 month for coming back and 1 month
for going. So the total is 6 months.
So if one is away from his family
more than 6 months,
he should ask permission.
If he says, I cannot wait more than
this, then you have to go.
And you are working in another country, you
make your
annual vacation
divided into 2 parts. So every 6 months,
you visit and you see your family.
Is this clear to the question?
Yes, miss Shaula. Very
clear,
this is from a brother who's regular here.
May Allah reward you with good.
Is it permissible for a layman like me
to share what I learned of the sound
Akita
in another language in a video form?
To teach what you learned? Yes.
In video?
Yes.
And and then
You mean you will
language.
Basically, what he's learning here. Yeah. What he's
learning here with you is regular. He's been
he's a regular student.
He's asking, is it okay
is it permissible for a layman like himself
to share what he's learned of the
Sound Akita in another language in a video
form.
Is he a man or a woman?
Man.
Okay.
Okay. So
there's no objection,
but make sure that what you
convey
is what you learned and with and make
your homework and,
provide the the the evidence.
And when they ask you questions, say, no.
No. No. No. I'm only sharing with you
what I learned.
Your questions, I will take them and get
them answered, then I'll come back to you.
Don't become sheriff and start giving answers. Okay?
Is this clear?
Yes,
And we do for a woman, how does
she
wash her head? I think it means the
they mean the the hair.
A woman like the man
like the man
and wiping over the hair of the head.
There are 3 ways.
One way is to take your hands back
and throw, which is the upper part.
No need for a woman to trace all
her hair just like this
up to the
end of the head and bring her hands
back.
That's one way.
The second way or the second
method
that you wipe part of the hair,
like the fringe,
and then you wipe over the hima, this
the the kafar.
Like just the man, he would wipe part
of the hair, and then he would wipe
over the hima.
The third method
without wiping any strand of hair, you just
wipe over the imam for the man and
for the woman of.
So you have these three options.
Is this clear?
Yes. She can.
Is it permissible to combine the ritual bath
after a * or *
with the ritual bath for Friday salah?
Also, yes. It is. Though it is better
to separate them.
It's better to,
separate them. How?
To separate them when I am
do taking the shower. They say
that you take the and
you take the first shower and you rinse
the body
and you wash the feet towards the end.
That and your intention, this is for the
Janaba.
And then, again, you take the,
and your intention, it is for the Friday
prayer.
It is better
that for each one,
separate
shower.
And if you combine them and you your
intention is for both,
the answer, yes,
Is this clear?
Yes, chief.
Is it enough for a woman to cover
her feet with salts in prayer
or outside of it?
Okay. You see, the the practice of Muslim
women, they
they have long normally, they have long
attire,
which is they always
wear it for salah,
which is flowing and covering
all her body
and all her feet.
However, if her
Avaya, let's say, is covering
the feet,
and then she is wearing the socks
and she prayed, then her
is correct.
Though what I advised the sisters,
make sure
your
dress is overflowing
and covering your feet
when you make it when you pay.
Is this clear to the question?
Yes,
Sheikh.
That was the last question, Sheikh, if you'd
like to finish up.
For your patience
and for your dedication
and for your attendance. May Allah bless you,
bless your family, protect you, protect your family.
And may Allah
bless us with the beneficial knowledge and righteous
deeds, Ameen.
And may Allah keep us remain steadfast with
this beautiful day
till we meet him and find him pleased
with all of us, Ameen.
Until we meet
in the coming session, I leave you in
Awa's company and
protection.
