When you're ready, Sheikhoun.
Brothers
and sisters,
Assalamu alaykum Warahmatullahi
wa barakatuh.
Brothers and sisters,
and welcome to our 27th lesson
of Al Usul Al Thalatha
or Thalatha to Lusul, the 3 fundamental principles
with our Anubushay,
Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
May Allah
bless him and preserve him. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, as always,
next
part of the lesson or the second half
of the lesson is question and answers. When
is due, we'll announce,
and we take the questions and answer them
only on the Zoom platform. Brothers and sisters
on Facebook or YouTube, more than welcome to
join us and listen and benefit.
Without any further delay,
And then after that,
Knowing the deen,
practicing the deen, calling to the deen,
and then
face adversities
with patients.
So today,
we'll try
to finish what is related to the dawah,
the issues related to the collar.
In the last session, we talked about
the internal factors that affect
the dye
and cause the
psychological pressure.
And today, we continue, inshallah, to finish this
portion, which is related to the
callers that are
because they are the ones
who are going to
take this message.
So they need to know
some tips
which by Allah's grace, Insha'Allah, will be helpful.
Remember, the cause is that
the internal causes
of this psychological pressure,
the die and the color experiences,
is the
lack
of spirituality.
The Emaniad.
Yes. He is a guy,
but he feels dryness inside him. Dryness.
Vacuums. Spiritual
vacuum within himself.
Because the connection with Allah is not that
strong.
The Ibada
needs to be enhanced.
And strengthened.
Yes. Maybe he maintains the 5 players
attending
them, but the sooner
treating them lightly,
etcetera.
So this will lead to that.
So you need to
the guy and every Muslim
to have this
Rouhani,
this connection with Allah
because this is the spiritual
sustenance.
This is the spiritual
food
for the soul.
And that's why Allah
made it felt in the beginning.
Was
felt upon the Muslims
because Allah
prepares
the Sahaba
for this message
to show
them.
So Qiyamilayl
was found obligatory,
then it was obligated and became recommended,
and some of the said it remained
obligatory
for the prophet.
So here, Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, said to
Musamil, aya 1 to 5,
says,
Yeah. You are Muslim men, oh, you wrapped
in your clothes,
And you know that
when the prophet
received the Waheg, he came back to Khadija,
and he was saying,
So Allah is saying,
oh, you who are in his garments and
his
clothes.
Stand
all night in prayer
except a little
except a little.
So Piyamilay
was obligatory,
And he carried on doing that, son of
ai, salam.
And when he was
out,
Allah has forgiven you all your sins.
So why
you exert much efforts?
He said,
Shall I not be a grateful servant,
grateful
slave to my lord?
He used to stand up
till his feet will
swell.
1 of the Sahaba prayed behind him,
in his home.
Tell me, felt the Sahabi said,
I thought of leaving the
because I could not
endure
the pain.
Because in warlock, I started with the, then
Al Imran, then then Islam.
Islam. Half the night or a little less
or a little more.
I decide to go on properly
in a measured way.
For we will soon send upon you
a weighty revelation.
Weighty revelation.
So this
spirituality and strengthening
your ima and standing up before us,
this will give you
the strength to endure
this weighty revelation.
That's why.
In Ramadan,
the prophet
used to continue fasting
one day
2 days
consecutively.
This is called a wisal. He will not
break his fast.
So does Sahaba say, oh, prophet of Allah?
We want to do the same thing like
you.
He said you cannot.
I spent the night with my lord
feeding me
with food and drink.
So what type of food is this? Is
it material food? If it is material food,
then there is no result.
So he's not continuing to get far because
he's eating.
Commented saying,
this is spiritual food.
Ibrahim
said, this is the sweetness of the the
sweetness of calling Allah,
the sweetness of communicating with Allah. So that's
spiritual
food.
That their lifefulness,
that sweetness
overcomes the the hunger and thirst.
Also, Allah said
regarding the we need.
And so as to say that I have
16.
They abandon their beds,
invoking their load with hope and fear,
and donate from what we have provided for
them.
Their
flanks, their sides.
When they put their sides on the bed,
they don't relax.
They want to get up and play
and stand before Allah.
They don't feel comfort comfortable
on their beds. They feel comfortable
standing before Allah.
So they cut the size, their flanks
cannot
find rest
while they're on the bed.
They call
upon
their
rob.
In
state of
fear
and hope.
And what we have from what we have
provided for them, they spent.
The prophet
said in the hadith
which
is reported by Abdullah.
Oh, Abdullah,
do not be like so and so.
He used to get up at night
for
optional payer
but abandoned
it abandoned it later.
So don't be like that
Because
Qiyamil Layl sharaf al Mu'min
standing up at night before Allah
is an owner, the owner of the believer.
And kinda that was,
and it was the practice
norm
the norm of the righteous and the pious
forefathers.
And one has to train himself and herself
just before the failure,
half an hour get up and
train yourself to the cards and then forward.
And then, so you go gradually.
So that is one reason. And that is,
of course, internal.
When you don't have you you have this
spiritual vacuum inside you, though you are a
guy,
but you have this dryness.
Also, among the other factors, which are also
internal factors,
there are hidden diseases
a a guy has inside him.
Him. Like, for example, love for leadership.
He wants to be a leader. He likes
to be a leader.
So he's coveting
and craving for leadership.
This is sickness.
He has hazard in his heart.
Yes.
Don't you know that? Oh,
envy and jealousy between the
scholars
is there. They have the.
Though they are scholars,
she thought we'll not spared them.
I said, my boss said,
Scholars,
they feel jealous of each other
more than the billy goats in their pens.
Maybe it's not those who do not know
husbandry, they don't know animals.
If you have a farm for animals,
goats, and you have 2 billy goats, see
what will happen.
They will be calling each other,
fighting each other
until one breaks
the horns of the other.
So now Abbas is saying, the jealousy
between scholars is more than that, the the
jealousy between the bilegoals
when they fight.
That's why my dear brothers and sisters, we
are human beings. So that's why the mujahada,
you have to fight your nafs.
You have to fight your
ness. So if you have this
ills inside you,
love for leadership
of the hashat,
You envy your brother
who said that I like you.
Feel jealous of him?
You have the urge up, the self
conceit
urge up.
I am
so you feel you are you are something.
That will ruin you, the.
You need to be down to us.
See, the real scholars and the ulama
That's why
they said knowledge is not the amount of
of
of, information you have. No.
How much
and
fear and and
humility you have.
That is the
That's why you find the the scholars,
the practicing one, the pious one, they are
down to earth
down to earth.
Very harmful.
Very harmful.
And you find those who are elegant
and their knowledge is little,
they feel that we are
Shirk and Islam. We are the imams of
the
when their knowledge is nothing. It's shallow.
That's why the Ulema always they mention
they say the grain, the ear the ear
of,
of corn,
which is full of grains.
When it is full of grains, you'll find
it heavy
and would have reached very close to the
ground,
that that ear, because it for it is
full of grains,
seeds.
But if it is empty,
that ear of corn will be out of
reach,
high.
So the heads that are full of n,
they'll be down.
The heads that are inflate,
the person will be always
arrogant.
So these are ills one has to dig
within himself
and try to eradicate
and work on these diseases.
Also,
love to be praised. This is another
ills
you like to be praised.
You like you like to hear titles,
Maulana,
the steam chair.
What do we now share
these titles.
You like to hear these things?
And my advice for my brothers and sisters,
please please stop
using such titles
because you are killing your brothers
when you give them such titles.
Because he's a human being, then he will
get used to this,
and he would love to hear
these things. So he will he loves to
be praised.
Sheikh Islam had been Taimi has said, beautiful
statement. He said,
you will not reach the status of the
muttaqeen.
You can you will not reach the levels
of the righteous
unless and until
those who praise you
and those who displease you, those who praise
you, those who criticize you are the same.
You praise me?
I don't feel anything.
You criticize me? I don't feel anything.
Don't care about what all these things.
You care only
about what Allah says
what Allah says,
and what you are. What is your status
in Allah's sight?
Maybe in the dunya, everyone is talking about
you.
You had millions of followers.
Fans. And there's no mention
of you in the upper assembly.
The America, they don't know you.
What is the benefit? You're not a loser.
May Allah
grant us the Khilaz and may Allah
purify
our hearts.
Ameen.
So this is another
disease.
So why my dear brothers and sisters should
work hard
with himself?
Allah says in Surat Hashams are you 9
to 10?
About the nafs, remember, there are many enemies
they work against you, Sheikh Baran, your nafs,
the Hawa.
K. I think it is also many, many
evil forces,
they get together
against you
to attack you.
So that's why you need to work hard
in in verifying
your soul.
Allah says,
Successful indeed
is the one who purifies
their soul,
and doomed is the one who corrupts it.
The one
who's just tricked with his mess,
the one
who purifies his mess,
forces it,
and to bring it down into
his sway and then and his thumb under
his control. He's the one who will be
successful. But Efla
but
the one
who loses the rain
the rains
and let this nuts
roam
and behaves in whatever way he wants to
behave,
he would be the win.
And doomed
is the one who corrupts it. Also,
among these internal factors is
randomness in thinking.
You think randomly,
not rationally,
and hastiness
in seeing the results.
You
want to see the results.
You want to see the outcome
of what you are doing.
So this is
another
ignoble quality a guy should not have.
You know, my dear brothers and sisters,
many of the Sahaba
died
before seeing the spread of Islam.
What did Ammar see?
What did they say?
Yes, sir. Hamab.
The early Muslims who were who passed away,
he didn't see.
And I said in another, he didn't see.
They didn't even find
enough
shrouds for him.
There was the peace of God that they
covered him his body
was not enough. If they put
it cover his head, his feet are shown.
They cover his feet, the upper part is
shown.
But they haven't
Allah, Azawajal,
accepted their efforts,
and they would be rewarded for that. So
the guy should not worry
about the results.
That's not an hour in my hand.
Just go go do a march.
Do
good deeds.
Call the people.
Remind them
whether they listen or not. Carry on,
and don't give up
because you
never
know. One day, your words will be echoing
in the minds of one of those whom
you called.
And they give you a true story.
One of our brothers
was working
in fast food
cafe or restaurant,
fast food,
a young
Muslim boy came
young man
and he ordered for
a sandwich,
like, mag. And
then he asked the cashier, this brother,
how much?
A hissap that he said in Arabic. A
hissap.
How much?
Our brother,
he said
just casually without thinking.
And hisab, human hisab.
And Hissab,
you met Hissab.
The reckoning on the day of reckoning. That's
the meaning of it.
But the boy, he
paid the the price of the sandwich and
he left.
After a while. After
maybe
1 year or something like that, he said.
This young man came to me
with long beard, his face,
shining.
He said, have you recognized me? I said,
no. Who are you?
Said that, Hizav Yomal Hizav.
Remember that word you thought you said?
It was echoing in my mind,
and they thought about it.
Yes. There is Yom al Khisab. There's a
day of reckoning.
And the plumber, when he said that, he
he didn't think about
the impact that
world will have would
have
on the heart of this young man.
So just
do *.
Just one of our makayah
who taught us the hadith,
signs of hadith.
And we used
to go
study with him, Bukhari,
and other books of the sunnah.
He said, I want you to behave like
the ox the
ox
that plows the land.
The ox that plows the land does not
look back and say, how many acres have
have I plowed?
Yes. It moves on and on and on.
Just do like that.
Don't say
how much deeds, how many good deeds I
have done. Carry on, I will lose.
You're still working,
and don't think of the consequences and the
outcome.
Whatever
good deeds you do, Allah knows about them,
and you'll find them.
So you should not have this agala,
hastiness,
because that is the nature of a human
being.
Allah
says in Suratam b a 37.
Human kind is made of haste.
I will soon
show you my signs,
so do not ask me to hasten them
to hasten them.
Also, among these internal negative factors
and qualities that I should not have,
the lack of
managing his time.
He doesn't know how to manage his time.
So then he feels
many tasks.
They haven't done anything,
and maybe he has this
issue of the the sweet
procrastination.
He doesn't know how to prioritize
the task,
so then he feels this pressure, psychological
pressure.
The prophet
as you know,
when he sent Muhar to Yemen,
he
chose Muhar,
one of the most learned
among the Sahaba.
He said,
The most learned one
among you regarding the issues of lawfulness
lawful and unlawfulism,
So he sent him to Yemen,
and he told him,
see what the prophet
did,
and this is what we should learn from
our prophet
Our prophet
was aware
about the people around him,
the environment of the Dawah around him,
The potentials and the capability
of the invitees,
so he was aware about that.
You should not go and
address people
and talk to them when you don't know
their background.
And you go and you are not qualified
and you are not equipped.
And then you get
you'll be surprised
when they attack you and expose your ignorance,
and you are the ambassador of Islam.
So when he sent him to Yemen,
he told him.
The prophet
said to Mu'adhuni sent him to Yemen,
you are going to people of a divine
book and Kitab, the people of the scripture,
Jews and Christians.
K?
So we are not going to the Arabs
nomadic tribes.
Uniletered ones now.
We are going to Yemen.
Yemen is known.
It has ancient civilizations.
They have
the civilization
of Meherin
and Qutval
and
Sabah.
So they are known. And
hang me up.
You are going to people of a divine
book.
First of all, invite them to worship Allah
and all. So
see, here the prophet,
he listed the priorities,
what to start with.
Learn from this, my dear brothers and sisters,
when you are making dahuah to the non
Muslims.
What should be the top item in your
agenda
to hate
to hate?
Nothing else. You don't move from that point
until it is clear.
You address the belief in the oneness of
Allah.
God is 1.
The 2 hate,
and that's what the prophet
said to him.
First of all,
invite them to worship Allah alone because they
don't worship Allah alone.
They commit shirk.
And when they come to know Allah,
in another
narration on Bukhari,
Bukhary, to single out Allah,
that Allah is one. We live in the
oneness,
not the whole eternity.
That's where you start.
When they come to know Allah,
inform them that Allah
has imposed and prescribed for them and enjoyed
on them
5 prayers.
Now they accepted the Tawhid,
but
the Tawhid
necessitates
the following.
Five prayers in every day and night.
They have to pay 5 prayers
in the day and night.
If they accept that
and if they start offering the these prayers,
then
move to
the next point.
Inform them that Allah has
enjoined in them the zakah,
the charity,
the arms.
And it is to be taken from the
rich amongst them
and given to the poor amongst them.
Because this is how Allah
and Islam
resolve the issue of poverty
through the zakat.
So we take the zakat
from the rich among you in Yemen and
give to the poor in Yemen itself.
We don't
send it to another country
where there are poor people in that country.
If we don't find poor people,
then it can be transferred.
And it is to be taken from the
rich amongst them and given to the poor
amongst them. And if they obey you in
that, take Zakah from them and avoid,
Do not take the best property
of the people as zakah.
Don't choose the
this is
the advice given to the zakah collector.
Do not choose the best
cow
or the best camel. No.
You take Arabic.
So you can see here how my our
prophet
gave the list of priorities
to
and what should they this is the agenda.
So the data should be organized.
So I have agenda.
I have list of clients to address,
and there there is
they are listed in
there is logical order,
One leads to the other.
According to their importance,
that's why the top one was the.
Now let us move to the external factors.
There are external factors affect the guy.
Among them,
the wife of the guy. Listen to me,
my dear sisters,
and don't be offended.
May Allah
make you a support for your husbands,
those who are
guys.
You are supporting him,
not bullying him back
or putting
obstacles in his way.
And you will get the reward of the
same of, of like him
because you are
sacrificing
for the sake of Allah, for the deen.
Say, go
attend this conference. No problem.
K? Though we had a plan to go
to
visit this place or that place or this
country or that country.
But for the sake of Allah, go.
So be a support
because that's how
the the wives of the Saif were like
that,
supporting the husbands.
Well,
I'll take care of the children. I bring
them up.
Many, many, many stories
in the lives of the son of
they left he left his his wife pregnant,
and when he came, his his son is
already
a man.
So stand by your husband
because
he needs your support.
When he comes and he's tired,
he needs a children to cry on.
He needs someone to console him,
not someone to make him
go mad.
And then he said,
listen, my dear sister, to this hadith.
And this is
The
meaning.
The
prophet
he addressed the women,
and he told them, give sadaqa,
you women folk,
you community of women.
For I have been shown that you will
be the majority of the inhabitants of *.
So the majority
among
the inhabitants of Jahannam are women
women.
They asked
for what reason messenger of god,
so they didn't get quite.
So they asked for an explanation
why
women will be the majority.
He replied,
You are greatly given to abuse.
Or the exact translation,
your curse
You always curse.
You curse a lot.
And you are ungrateful to your husband.
Ungrateful.
Every woman knows herself.
You have been nice to her all these,
bringing everything for her, and then she gets
angry
with you,
she will forget all that.
I haven't seen any good from you.
Any good. Yes. Any good.
Because you made a mistake.
And you are ungrateful
to your husbands.
And then he said,
I mean, women who are deficient in intelligence
and religion,
and this deficiency
in
the intellect
and the the prophet
7 explained it.
I have not seen anymore
anyone more able,
though you have this deficiency
in the intelligence
and the deal,
and the deficiency
in the Apple
is that the witness
of the testimony
of 1 man equal the testimony of 2,
eyewitness.
And the deficiency in the that
when you get your period,
you don't pay,
and you don't make them up also.
So that is the deficiency in the deed.
Then he said, yet
I have not seen anyone
more able
despite this,
you are so
powerful
and capable.
I have not seen anyone
more able to remove the understanding
of a wounded man than one of you.
I can't I did I did not find
anyone who can drive the man,
the most wise
person.
Drive him not more than you.
Yes.
You are a wise person,
but your wife can't drive you not.
She will drive you mad.
That's what the prophet said.
I have not seen anyone
more able to remove the understanding
of a prudent man than one of you.
You make him
paralyzed.
He cannot think.
You see him sitting.
He's a manager,
and he is
in another world.
Because when he left home,
his wife
told him many things.
So now he cannot focus. He cannot
think right.
That what the prophet said.
So my dear sisters fear Allah,
and those wives of the Dua,
feel pity for your husband
and stand by him
and help him.
Also,
among the other factors,
external ones, which will affect the guy
and his performance,
Children.
Yes. Children.
All believers,
indeed some of your spouses
and children
are enemies to you. Enemies,
Adoo.
So beware
of them.
Beware of them.
But if you pardon,
overlook, and forgive
their faults,
then Allah surely all forgiven
most merciful.
So
this also will affect the guy if his
wife
and her children.
All of them are against him
are against him.
She hoises the
minds and
of the children
against their father,
and they listen to
her. So all the family,
your belief
from among your wives, not all of them,
but they are.
Of
women like that.
You aware?
If
you pardon and forgive,
Allah
is the most forgiving, most merciful.
Another factor, external factor,
is this,
the
hastiness,
you want to read the fruit,
and you want to see the result.
And here, the prophet
said,
So Khabab said we came to the and
asked him
to
pray to Allah
for
us. He was leaning, he sat, and he
said,
among the nations before you,
the early believers,
a believing man would be put in a
ditch
in a hole
that was dug for him so he cannot
run away,
and a saw,
Hokso,
would be put over his head in the
middle.
And he would be cut into 2 pieces,
2 halves,
alive.
Yet
that torture
would not make him give up his deal.
His body, his flesh
would be combed with ironconks
that would remove his flesh from the bones
and nerves.
Yet that would not make him abandon his
deen, his religion.
And he said, by
Allah, this religion, this deen
will prevail
till a traveler from Salih and Yemen
to have Ramout
will fear none but Allah
or a wolf
as regards his sheep.
But you people are hasty.
Hasty.
So he's saying,
first of all, he motivated them.
He tried to boost their
morale
to tell them that this way,
the way to the agenda is not easy,
and you haven't seen anything.
And this what is going to happen to
you,
so remain steadfast.
And then he gave them the glad news
that this deed will prevail
some of our youth center.
Also, among these external factors,
which cause this psychological pressure in the life
of the guy,
when you have many obligations,
many commitments, many commitments.
And you can't do all of them
because
you are not organized.
If you are organized,
I recommend every brother and sister to read
this book,
the 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People,
the 7 Habits.
I attended this course many years ago. It
was beautiful course.
You should know. And
Everything
of you
analyze,
our dean taught us,
the taught
us. It's mentioned in our dean.
So
when you have many obligations
and you don't know
which one to do,
so you panic
and listen to this beautiful hadith.
The prophet
said.
The acts most pleasing to Allah
are those which are done most continuously
even if they amount to little.
Little deeds, but they are on yeah. There
is a continual
pay pace.
Little, but
little by little,
slowly but surely.
These are the most beloved
deeds.
That's why,
my dear brothers and
sisters, this deen know what you cannot you
cannot you cannot
you cannot do all the teachings of it
at once.
You are not.
So that's why.
The obligatory ones? Yes. You can.
But the nothing the optional ones, there are
so many.
So many.
So just
little by little
and take your next
gradual.
Don't go full swing. For example,
a sister reversed her swab all over her.
Or a Muslim, a born Muslim, but she
was
off the track sinning,
and now she repented,
and she want to
compensate
for all the things that she did in
the past.
So she is working, working, working hard.
She was not able to continue. So we
tell her,
She'll not be able to continue. So we
tell her, slow down,
AKT easy.
There's a long way to go.
Long way.
So
that's why you need
Morabi. You need Sheikh,
teacher
who guides
you.
Guides you.
This sister, she started,
and attending study circles,
and the Hadapat and Priamal and fasting Monday
and Thursday, and.
For a while,
then she started to feel
it's too much for
me. Then she started
going back.
Now take it easy.
Slowly but surely.
Little.
And they know many examples for this. Sisters
and brothers.
K? Who relapsed,
and they went back.
Right? Because of this
hastiness
and going at full speed
from the beginning.
So the acts that are most beloved to
Allah
and pleasing to Allah are those which have
done,
most
continuously,
on a steady pace,
but they are continuous.
Even if they are little,
we're in part.
Don't you know?
Some of the Salaf,
they would play the Hajjut.
So you want to start the MLA.
Train yourself for turakash. Begin with turakash.
One of,
our brothers, he showed me
when he
since from when he started practicing Islam,
he started reading in Madarias Salikin by Ibn
Qurayim.
And he came across that the prophet
got up when in Tahajjud, and he prayed
in, he said, I tried to. I said,
I will do it.
He said, guess what? The next day, I
could not wake up, could not stand
could not stand.
Also, among the factors when there are others
external factors which affect the guy,
because some they are
they have this
they're sensitive
when people criticize them.
So
they cannot take it,
but this should not be the case.
If someone criticizes me, I like it.
I like
it. Not me, per I'm not talking about
myself. The dad should like it.
You know what?
Because the one who criticizes
you
is helping you to improve
to prove
because
we are not perfect,
so there is room for improvement.
Boom.
So if you are lucky and you find
brothers
to tell you, Afi,
what you have done is wrong,
this is the right way.
That's why my dear brothers and sisters and
those who are involved in the,
you should make some brothers around you or
sister
who will be watching what your your delivery
of the speech
and what you say
and how you handle the questions and all
these things.
And then you ask them
to give you feedback
because this will help you to
improve.
So
Muslims should not hate
being criticized. No.
No.
Because this is part of the
piece of advice
is given to you.
The prophet
said that this is a Sahid Muslim. The
prophet
said, The religion
is nasiha,
peace giving peace of advice.
The people say to whom should it be
directed,
this piece of advice?
He replied to Allah. So what does the
nasiha to Allah
To Allah's deen?
K.
You defend Allah's deen.
His book, the Quran,
you refute
the accusations
that people raised
and the doubts people attribute
about the book of Allah.
His messenger, you defend
the the person of the prophet
and his sunnah.
To the leaders of the Muslims, you advise
them.
And to the common folk of the Muslims,
I'm not a Muslimi, you advise
them. So this is our deen.
We advise each other.
So they advised each other
regarding the truth.
Also, he said, so,
and this is the Tabarani
in Al Aussat,
authentic authentic hadith
and authenticated by al Bashir al Bani and
Sahih al Gamar Sabir,
hadith 6,626.
He said,
The believer is a mirror
for the believer.
Mirror. Your brother is your mirror.
Your sister is your meta.
What do you see, my dear brothers and
sisters, in the meta? You see your face.
The meta
will not lie
will not lie.
The Meta will tell you exactly
will tell you exactly
how you look.
Miller doesn't know how to lie.
So the mottling,
the true brother,
the true sister
will not lie to you.
So when you ask him, uh-huh,
what do you think?
What do you see? What the the advice
for me?
He will tell you exactly your advice from
me, he will tell you exactly your fault,
and you should be
grateful to Allah.
Let Allah bless you with such brothers around
you or such sisters.
You should be grateful
because they will improve you. They will guide
you.
The believer is a mirror
for the believer.
And see, Sayedna Umar He
said,
Beautiful statement.
May Allah have his mercy upon whoever shows
me my faults. Someone
me about my faults? I like that.
Has mercy upon the land
who shows me.
Actually, he said,
has given me gift and present.
So pinpointing
my faults and my mistake
is actually a present, a gift.
Shows me
my faults, my shortcomings.
It should be grateful.
Also,
among the external factors,
having
many social relations,
many friends,
And the reality,
when you are in need, you find only
handful or few of them.
So there's no need.
So you should have real brothers and sisters
who are really when you are in need,
they will be there.
So you should know
how many
brothers and sisters
you
should have around you,
not everyone,
and you are wasting your time.
And this is what the prophet said,
which is
said, I heard Allah's messenger
say,
people
are just like camels.
Out of 100,
one can hardly find a single camel suitable
to ride.
100 camels?
And you can hardly find one suitable to
ride.
How do you bother friends around you?
You know them?
But when you are in need, you can
hardly find 1.
1.
So you should know
and make
real brothers around you
but not too many social relations.
Also, among the facts,
extended factors,
which will affect the guy
and cause him to experience this psychological pressure
is the debts.
Deuts.
And my dear brothers and sisters
fear Allah
and
avoid
debts.
It's not easy.
It's not easy.
Don't you know, my dear brothers and sisters,
the shayid
shayid,
all his sins will be forgiven
except
Adain
debts,
if he has debts.
Shaheed.
So don't
borrow money from the people.
Don't
buy things you don't need by
credit.
We say in Arabic,
stretch your leg according to the length of
your kanobi,
the length of your blanket,
according to your resources.
And sisters should fear Allah
and should not ask their husbands,
okay, to fall into this
dilemma,
the day in.
We want to change the furniture.
I don't have money.
Yeah. Use the credit card.
What's wrong with this furniture? It is old.
Yeah. But still good condition.
You know, the women when they visit us,
they say, what was this furniture from the
stone age?
So what?
We don't care about the people.
So, sisters, fear Allah
Change the mindset.
Make a valid handshake.
You should perceive things differently.
You're a Muslim now.
So listen to this hadith,
which is authentic.
That he was
entangled
in cares,
distress,
and debts,
they replied.
Shall I not teach you words by which
when you say them,
Allah would remove
your care
and settle your debt?
When the man expressed a desire to hear
them,
he told him to say, morning and evening,
oh, Allah.
I seek protection. I seek refuge
in you from distress and grief.
I seek protection in you from incapacity,
laziness,
and slackness,
or inability,
heights, and laziness.
I seek protection in you from stinginess
and cowardice.
I seek protection in you, but overcome by
debt and being put in subjection
to men
subjection by men.
He said that when he did that, Allah
removed his care and settled his debt.
Also, among the factors,
I do conclude,
There are 2 now.
That also which will affect the guy
is the sad situation of the.
When you look about the situation of the
and you internalize
that,
so it affects you.
No. You had to
feel sad for the situation of the,
but that should give you a boost
and make you roll your sleeves
and work more
to change this situation of the.
Not that you despair and say,
there's no hope. No.
There is hope.
But we need
to collect our efforts and put our hands
together
and work together, and then the situation of
the will change business like that.
And the last factor,
which also affects the
the diary,
when he sees these
disputes and differences and fights among
the Dawah groups,
which is very sad,
Do not read the situation.
All the organizations
should unite their efforts,
have common platform,
meet and
think about the future of the Oman and
the future of the Dua,
and each organization is specialized in in their
field, which they know,
and they should agree on the fundamentals,
on the 2 hate, on the sunnah,
no shirk, no big app.
You'll hear issues
that if they fall under what is
permissible,
they're trying.
And if they discuss these issues in
short and closed circles,
but they have to put their hands together
and walk towards one common goal,
common good for the whole.
May Allah
unite our Ummah and the Haqq Amin,
and may Allah unite our hearts in the
Haqq Amin.
And may Allah
forgive us our faults and mistakes and ignorance.
And may Allah keep us to remain steadfast
with this beautiful deen.
Till we meet Allah and he is pleased
with all of us, Amin,
and may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters,
for your patience and attendance.
Insha'Allah, we'll start the question and answers now.
Insha'Allah.
Alright. Brothers and sisters, please send in your
questions.
If you'd like to write your questions in,
you can do that on the chat section.
Alternatively,
if you'd like to ask question directly
or questions directly, please press participant,
press on raise hand,
and we will be able to take your
questions.
We'll begin with some of the questions we've
already received,
and the first question is
My question is, a brother wants to start
a business
of Shisha Cafe,
so he's asking that is it allowed in
Islam to work in such a business?
The answer, no. It is haram.
The shisha
came to you from the Arab world,
and it is
smoking this,
tobacco.
And, actually, the shisha is not tobacco, actually.
It is
a mixture of,
rotten fruit and
very, very, very
filthy things.
So it is haram, smoking the shisha,
so you cannot open this cafe of shisha.
Cannot.
So
cigarettes and tobaccos and selling all these stuff,
it's not to a haram in Islam. You
cannot.
Is this clear to the question? Next Insha'Allah.
Insha'Allah, Sheikh. And,
it will be the same Sheikh, for working
in a place,
providing this service? It is haram. Yes. Even
working for it.
Okay. That clarifies the question.
Brother Salman Sarki, please unmute your mic.
Sheikh, I have a question regarding,
the topic. Yeah. You said the lack of
managing the time,
and it creates a psychological pressure. But,
I personally have a lot of issue with
this that I'm not managing my time. So
is there any advice how to, general advice
how to, manage the time? You can
clarify it.
You see, you have 24 hours.
You have plenty of time
plenty of time.
So sit down and make time table
and stick to it and be
strict.
The most important thing is the commitment.
Commitment.
Okay? And now everyone has mobile phone. You
can use the Outlook, and you can use
you can plan your day, and you can
plan for months years.
So you know you have to set a
plan
and stick to that plan.
K?
I get up. This time, it's time for
the salah.
The best time, for example, for students
to revise is
after or before the
because the mind is fresh.
You can easily understand.
So you need to sit down and
organize and put the plan.
From this time to this time, I'm doing
this. From this time to this time, I'm
doing that.
And then you leave a cushion at Zoom
because sometimes, maybe some circumstances
will happen.
But you have to stick to the plan
that you have you have devised
and follow it.
And ask Allah
the tofid
and to put Baraka in time. This is
very important.
The barakah.
When Allah bless your time,
you sometimes you say, in
this short period, I have managed to do
this.
This is the
Malaka Malaka from Allah.
So keep praying to Allah
and ask Allah
to put Malaka in your time.
And InshaAllah, you will be able
to meet your commitments and to perform your
obligations
and fulfill them.
Is this clear to you, Rafi?
Yes, sir. Well, not a clearance.
Okay. We move to now,
sister Sophia. Please unmute your mic.
My question is about,
the
and,
the is the same, or, how many are
there in the?
Today, I your 11,
and one, we have to play by standing.
Just I want to confirm this.
To be honest, really, I did not catch
everything.
It is the question about the MLA?
Yeah. Yes. Yes. Kerala.
Okay. What, what do you want to know
about the MLA? How many rakas?
Yes. How many rakat are there, and it
is the same as the Tahajjud prayer.
Oh, okay. Okay. Alright.
Yes. These are different names for the same
salah. The Yamalay,
Tahajjud,
Taraweeh.
All have different names for the same thing,
which is night prayer.
So
whether it is called Tahajjud or it's called
Tihamalayl
or called Talawi, it is all the same.
How many rakahs?
It is open.
It is open. You can play as many
rakahs as you want.
And the hadith of Aisha of the Allahuhaan
regarding the Talawi that the prophet
never exceeded
more than 11 rakahs of the tira'as.
That doesn't mean it is not allowed
to pay more than that.
Because he said,
the night prayer
can be cut it out in twos.
And he did not specify a number.
And that's why the salaf,
when we read in the parable of this,
many, they played hundreds of rakas at night.
So it is left to the person
how energetic he feels or she feels.
So there's no
limit
for the national players. Is this clear to
you?
Yes, sister. I think your mic has some
issues.
Yes. Yes. It is clear now.
Okay.
Let us move on with the questions. We
have some written questions here.
So the first question, assalamu alaikum Sheikh. Question
1.
If a woman if a woman breastfeeds an
adopted child for the required minimum of 5
suckling,
the child automatically
becomes the biological
child of that woman.
Does the husband to the woman also become
the father
of the child, and can the child share
in his inheritance
or they have
no relationship?
Okay.
When a woman
breastfeeds a child
within the age of 2 years,
he's
not more than 2 years,
yes, that child becomes her child
because of the breastfeeding,
but he's not like a child that he
has given birth to.
You have to keep this in mind.
So when we talk now about the breastfeeding,
when a first of all, a woman cannot
breastfeed a child without the permission of her
husband.
She cannot.
Because the milk belongs to the husband.
He's the father.
So when she breastfeed this child,
that her husband becomes the father of the
child.
Her sister,
the mother sister, becomes
maternal aunt for the child.
The sister of the husband becomes maternal aunt
for the child.
The father of his mother becomes his uncle,
maternal uncle.
The father of the husband becomes paternal uncle
to the child.
The children of the husband are brothers and
sisters for the child.
Even if this man was married to women
before and he had children,
they are his brothers and sisters from the
father's side.
Even if his mother was married to a
man before,
those children are his brothers and sisters.
So it is not
so you can see the network is so
complex.
K?
Now but yet after all this,
the child cannot inherit.
He's not entitled
for inheritance
like the rest of the children.
That's why if
the father wants to give him something, he
can give him something during
his lifetime as a gift.
But he's not one of those
who will inherit
the father when
he passes away.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Inshallah, it is clear, Sheikh. We'll take the
next question, then we'll move to Ali. And,
also, the systems with the breastfeed the child,
they have to
notify,
okay, and write this that I have breastfed
this child.
K?
So, because now
people should know that you breastfed this child.
Maybe you're blessed with another
child, another girl, this boy, and you're blessed
with also before another
girl. And in that family, they don't know.
This brother might marry his own sister,
and there are cases like that.
So we have to be very careful
when
regarding the issue of breastfeeding.
Yes, Afi. The next question.
The next question,
If one doesn't perform ablution properly,
for example, not washing a spot on the
arm and he is about
and he is about washing his feet
and and he's,
okay. Let me read the question first because
I think the person has
written not I'm not written it correctly.
If one doesn't perform ablution properly, for example,
not washing a spot on the arm and
he is about washing his feet and then
notices
that spot. Can he okay.
If one doesn't perform ablution properly, for example,
not washing a spot
on the arm, and he's about to wash
his feet, but he notices the spot on
his arm,
can he go back to wash it or
he has to restart the ablution all over
again?
No. He should go to the that,
limbs, that hand,
and wash it, and then carry on from
that part, limb onward to maintain the sequence.
Clear. And it So he
prayed.
Let's say that he left that spot and
didn't wash it. He has to repeat the
salah.
Is this clear?
Yes.
That is clear. The the prophet when they
saw a man has a spot on his
ankle
that washed,
he asked him to return
and to make the.
But let's say
this is something,
you have to keep in mind, brothers and
sisters,
when you are performing the. There is something
called,
which is maintaining the sequence.
So now this
this portion is not washed,
and you finish the.
And the leaves and the ogres
dried up
dried up.
They're not wet anymore.
You have to start the wudu from the
beginning.
But if the
the spot on the right hand, the left
hand's still wet, and also the right hand's
still wet, then go to the right hand,
wash it, then you carry on from there
and maintain the sequence.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes.
It is clear.
We will take question from Ali Ibrahim, inshallah.
Ali Ibrahim, please unmute your mic.
Ali Ibrahim is still new on Zoom.
Please unmute to my brother Ali Ibrahim. Press
on unmute
or press the mic sign on the bottom
left.
Assalamu alaikum.
Assalamu
alaikum.
My
my thank is
to Sheikh Salim and, the group.
Sheikh, my question is
Alhamdulillah.
I'm so much happy. This is the second
time I'm attending this classes on life.
Alhamdulillah, I cannot
keep quiet.
My
feeling is how I'm feeling this luxurious.
I'm I'm I'm happy.
So
I was listening your classes all the time
Alhamdulillah from
those goes on Sunday Saturdays,
on the mental list of Tawhid
and matters of the heart
and all that, Alhamdulillah, on YouTube. But this
one is my second time.
Just the other day you have
Splendid has,
a lot of. You named for us a
lot of.
Like, even Rajap,
and, the 3 of them you mentioned, also
you said they are all from,
Humbly
School.
I Humbly School. Yes. Right.
So may
since,
my pleasure is that,
I have joined with you. I have I
learned from you. You went a lot
of all over the world, like Egypt, all
these, those are coming. Morocco.
May Allah reward you. It is,
increasing my of all countries.
So my question is,
is today I want to ask you as
you are always given us this, light coming
from
Imarat.
May Allah reward you and, love bless this
country, great country of Muslim Imarat.
Before,
I put you my question,
there is 2 things has changed it, in
my heart to what is, Imarat.
Of course, it was I knew it was,
a country of Muslim great,
but before,
what has carried me to love too much,
this great country you are now you are
in and and given us this light in
Africa.
Of course, we used to see
humanitarian coming from, this country
in Africa.
This is funded this project funded by Marriott
and so on. I used to see,
but the two things that I have appreciated
so much.
One is that when our lovely chef,
has
doctor Zakir Naik has got some misunderstanding,
the his own country, and that they have
deported.
Alhamdulillah, I remember that one of the Amaris
of Imarat,
actually, he appointed and he stood,
stood, with him
and awarded him,
Masha'Allah,
a great honor of Islamic personality
and dawah,
and also provided him
a very blessed, I mean, a huge office
is blessed to
to to to do the dawah, to carry
on.
So I
I thank you so much that Amir, and
may Allah grant him Jannah
and, his,
bias of this religion and,
and and those who live for us.
And also those country who has stood
with our lovely chef who was just carrying
the light
of Allah
in this world, the whole world,
and, like,
Saudi Arabia,
Malaysia, all this, I appreciate it.
Then
with the help of Allah, I made you.
I found your classes and all this,
and I
have appreciated a lot. So my question is,
sorry. This may,
little knowledge and,
little understanding.
So if, you can point to me some
of the olema
who in the past,
well known in the Islamic world,
Dawah,
those from United Arab Emirates.
This is my question, please. Sorry, for if
I make prolong ready.
See, the Muslim countries, always you'll find in
the past and present.
The
scholars in the past,
like Ibn Hajjar,
Albin Ali,
were then moved from
the Emirates to,
to another Gulf country, and he died there.
And then, we have
advanced
teaching and doing Dawah's and they have
higher degrees in
the different disciplines of Hadith
and Tafsir
and, etcetera.
Alhamdulillah
is there in all Muslim countries.
And but Muslims, they should actually
the I mean, the we need more ulama.
The Ummah is a need of more scholars
to replace
the old generation because many of the scholars
of Islam, they are advanced in age.
And soon,
they will be invited
by their lord,
and they will leave.
So that's why
the Shabab and the youth, they have to
really,
put efforts and try to
study with those olema
and to learn the deed so that at
least when
the scholars they leave, they are successors
who will fill the vacuum after them.
Allah protect
our and our our and the
in
the
for
your question.
We'll move to the next question.
Let us move to the next question.
The next question is,
Assalamu Alaikum. May Allah bless you immensely. I
wanted to ask
the Hadith about women being the majority in
the hellfire.
Isn't there also a Hadith that indicates the
woman will be in the majority in Jannah
also?
Regarding this Hadith you mentioned, I don't know
that there will be the majority,
of the people in the Jannah.
But, of course, this hadith that the the
the majority of the
inhabitants of *
is not talking about the righteous and the
pious women. He's talking about women
who curse a lot
and who are ungrateful.
So that's why my dear sisters work hard
to get rid of this. It is a
sin.
So
any sister wants to be to enter the
ganna.
She should get rid of these 2 ignoble
qualities.
Okay? Because your husband is just the
said to the woman,
he's your *, and he's your heaven.
So by being nice to your husband
and the husband, of course, nice to his
wife.
K? Because everyone has
obligations towards the other.
So one should not wrong the other.
And if a woman,
as the prophet
said, plays the 5 prayers past the holy
month
and protect her private her chastity
and obeys her husband,
it will be she will be invited
through all the 8 gates of the Jannah
In the day of resurrection,
all the gates are calling her. Angels are
calling her, come through the through this gate.
Come through this gate.
That is given to Abu Bakr only,
but this will be given to all the
women
who fulfill the conditions.
So when the prophet said that he mentioned
this to the woman,
that out of love for them,
out of love,
Not as one secularist
and modernist, you say,
this cannot be true.
Is it possible that the prophet on the
8 days poise the mood of the woman?
Come
on. So he's advising them. That's why the
Sahabiye,
when they heard this,
after he explained to them, they started drumming
their bangles, their earrings,
necklaces,
and the,
the
the and the peace of God of Bilal.
So
women should fear Allah
may Allah guide all of us.
Next and I believe final question.
How can one protect himself
from the people of innovation when he lives
amongst them?
If these people are his
family and things like that, he cannot get
rid of that.
So only buy the saber and practicing the
sunnah.
Bite the sunnah with your mala teeth, as
the prophet said,
and be patient
and be good example and
remind the people with hikmah, with wisdom,
and work
maybe 1 to 1.
So now you work on this brother,
and he is convinced that he's with you.
So you are 2 now,
then you become 3, then you become 4.
So
that one needs some of.
But
if the people you feel that you are
going to be influenced
by them
or confused by them
or they can't put cast doubts into your
minds,
then you it's better for you to move
from
such gathering
and go and live among the people who
are practicing the sunnah. May Allah guide all
the Muslims to the sunnah,
Al Hawi, that's our final question for tonight.
If you'd like to conclude today's session.
For your patience, attendance. May Allah bless you.
May Allah accept your efforts. May Allah accept
your deeds.
And may Allah
Allah keep us remain steadfast on this beautiful
deen
till we meet him and find him pleased
with all of us. May
Allah unite
our hearts in the heart. May Allah unite
our
and law may Allah guide all those Muslims
who are away from the.
And may Allah keep us to remain steadfast
in this.
And may Allah reward all of you, my
dear brothers and sisters, immensely,
for your patience and attendance. Till we meet,
Insha'Allah, I leave you in Allah's company and
protection.
