AI: Transcript ©
Okay. Let us begin inshallah. Okay. Let us
begin inshallah.
And welcome to our 3rd lesson of
with
our honorable Sheikh Sheikh Salim Al Amri.
I will pass the mic and the screen
to the Sheikh, and the Sheikh
can begin inshallah.
To
her.
I'm never had my dear brothers and sisters
and staff.
Today is our weekly class,
Issues of the days of.
The days
of ignorance
or aspects
of the lifestyle
of the days of Jahiliyyah.
And we are talking about
the belief
of the author himself
as he wrote himself
because
his opponent accused him of many things which
are not true.
So for any unobjective
researcher
who's impartial and unbiased
and seeking the truth, do not
the
reality
of this
reformer,
this shaykh, of this imam,
You need to work to read his own
words
and what he wrote about himself.
So we continue
reading what he believed
in.
He said,
For all men will be fit now to
will
be added to.
Now they just go through
this paragraph
and try to understand
what the
author of Hammed.
He
said,
I firmly
believe.
K.
Because the word
means something
tight.
The root,
to tie, to make a knot.
The knot is called. So
If we put it under
what we call al mizanosarfi,
when Arabic and grammar,
we have an
a balance,
the yard district, which is the verb.
So we put under
that.
1st, we put the root. What is the
root of?
So
means fa'ala.
So this is a balance. What you put
in one side, you put on the other
side.
K. So we put
under fa'ala.
Ain,
half,
they
correspond to the three letters fa'ala.
How about the a? It's not there on
the top, I have to add it there.
The Tamil Buddha is not there, I have
to add it. So it becomes.
And when you find this form,
any word.
Okay. Fix this
vocal
unit,
then
it is it means.
Means.
What does this mean?
Means because
means
means
Mafrool.
For example,
atil in Arabic.
Atil
Patil means farel. Patil means
the
the corresponding
weight of it on the scale is farel.
So Katiel
Farel. What is the meaning of Katiel?
One who is killed.
The one who is killed is called Katiel,
which means Maktul,
which means Maktul.
Fatil means.
1 who's killed.
1 who's wounded.
Means
wounded.
So
means,
something Thai.
Mean what?
With
which is Fareela, it means something
Thai,
So this is the the root of the
word.
That means
you tie something firmly in your heart.
Something
firmly
fixed and tied in the heart.
So what is that?
The set of beliefs.
Set of beliefs.
You believe in the angels. You believe in
the existence of Allah. You believe in the
day of resurrection or the village of imam.
So all this
set
and its element,
this set of beliefs
are fixed and tied
in your heart,
and they will not and and they shall
not be
and
type or discussed again
or doubt it.
So the when you have a strong.
By the way,
is essential
in the life of a human being.
Any human being, he has to have
set of certain beliefs he believes in,
and he's ready to give his life for
that.
Whether he is believer or disbeliever,
Muslim or non Muslim, every human being has
to have a set of beliefs.
The atheist
has set of beliefs. He believes in certain
things.
He believes that the poison will kill him.
He will not drink it.
He believes the fire
burnt, so he will not put his finger
finger into the fire.
K?
Because without the belief, a human being
cannot function.
I cannot move one step forward without the
belief.
K.
If I don't believe that I have the
ability to stand, I will not stand.
If I don't have a belief that the
water will quench my thirst, I will not
drink it when I'm thirsty.
If I don't believe that food will remove
my hunger, I will not take it. If
I don't believe that medicine will be a
cause for removing my sickness, I will not
take it.
So people, they have beliefs.
Whether they
are atheists,
believers,
nonbelievers,
every human being has certain form of,
set of beliefs.
K?
They call it ideology. They call it whatever.
But it is something you
believe in it,
and you are ready to give your life
for that.
K. So that's why the
means
the belief,
the doctrine,
the ideology
that set to a belief which you hold
firmly
in your heart.
Right?
So
is
not
the synonymous
to to to to hate.
No. Different.
Is that what you have hold in your
heart.
Maybe what you hold in your heart is
the akeda of Tawhid
because you are a monotheist.
So you the set of beliefs is
all these beliefs you have,
they revolve
around
monotheism.
So you are a monotheist.
Maybe the second belief,
they
all
revolt
allowing
and always allowing
polytheism.
Yes. You have a certain
beliefs, but all
lead to
polytheism,
and you are a polytheist
or a pantheist
or a communist,
okay,
or secularist.
Okay. Because all these things now, they are
different forms of deen.
So you believe in that deen of yours,
that way of life.
So I hope now the word
is clear. So we have
as Muslims.
Which means
the doctrine
and the belief of monotheism or the monotheistic
creed, the creed itself,
the doctrine and the creed.
And there is
the doctrine of the holy trinity, the Christians.
So the of the Christians is not unity,
is not monotheism.
It's not it is not monotheistic.
No.
Because they believe in 3 deities,
the father, the son, and the holy ghost.
This is the holy trinity.
The father is God. The son is God.
The holy spirit is God.
Right? And they are not the same.
And then they call it, it's one God,
which is a for them. They cannot resolve.
So they have.
So the of the Christians is
the doctrine
of trinity,
the creed of trinity.
But as the creed and the doctrine of
Muslims
and all the believers, all the prophets, all
the is.
It is the monotheistic
creed.
So the author here saying,
what does he do? So what I hold
firmly
and what I'm I abide by
is an iman,
the belief.
An
iman.
Now it is
what that is what you hold all this
set of beliefs,
that is the imam.
And this set of beliefs
is not only
the faith
that you believe in these things. No.
A man
is made up of 3 main elements.
The
utterance,
the verbalization.
You verbalize your actor,
what you hold in your heart. I believe
in Allah. I believe in his messenger. I
so you
articulate it. You verbalize it. You say it.
So that is one component.
2nd component,
the itself,
the conviction
that has the the conviction
itself
is also another element
that you are totally convinced and you have
this conviction
about
what you hold in your heart. That's deep.
And the 3rd components of the iman,
the actions of the limbs.
So what I hold in my heart,
I verbalize it.
It is hidden, now I make it visible.
I hold the belief in Allah and that
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, so I
express that.
That's how you become a Muslim.
Because we don't know what you maybe you
believe in Muhammad
as the last Muslim of Allah,
but we don't know that.
So you have to make it
to make us
know to make it known to us
and make us know about it
by articulating
that and by acting and saying it.
So then we say, yes. He's a Muslim.
Not that you keep it in your heart.
So
we didn't hear you
saying
the. We didn't see you praying, fasting.
So how can we know that you are
a Muslim?
So that's why these three components,
they are inseparable.
You have that conviction,
that faith,
then
you
verbalize,
you say it, you make it known,
Then you
manifest that and apply that conviction
and that set of beliefs. You put it
into action through
your limbs.
You play. You fight. You make hug. You
You
cover your aura as a woman. You dress
up. You wear your hijab and all that
stuff.
These are
the outward manifestations
of what you hold in worldly in your
heart.
That's why you can see those people
who they just keep tapping their
heart. Imaan is here, and you don't see
any manifestation
of
that, any embodiment of that, they are lying.
They are lying
Because it has to come it has to
come into existence
what you believe,
and you practice what you believe.
So the imam,
as the salaf said,
not on.
It is an utterance upon upon the tongue.
By the tongue, you actually verbalize
it.
And this conviction
by the heart,
this belief is what you have hold in
your heart.
And actions that are be found by the
limbs
by one's limbs.
This iman rises and folds,
increases and decreases.
Your iman rises and folds, decreases
and increases and decreases,
and everyone experienced that. Everyone knows that.
When you do good deeds, you feel your
iman is picking up.
You feel your iman is boosted when you
attend the study circle.
After the circle, you feel, oh,
I got a boost.
My iman was boosted.
Ramadan, you feel your iman
hitting the sky.
Your iman rises.
Why?
Because
you
refrain from sinning,
and you are doing good deeds.
No backbiting, you're keeping the tongue busy with
reading the Quran, istorefah.
So,
he manizes.
That's
why
the formula of the iman,
iman equal,
iman
e equal.
The
the conviction itself.
They can say see.
Multiply
by
the utterance, u,
multiply by
the actions
of the limbs.
Okay?
So we can iman equals c u a
a u c u a c, as you
like.
And these are 3 variables.
You see the iman
is the project,
mathematically, the project.
And the 3 variables,
they are the conviction.
It is valuable also because the conviction itself
can increase.
The
itself can increase and decrease.
How?
That the
and the conviction
or the belief can increase and decrease? Yes.
It can.
The conviction itself.
We knew
not an
an issue.
Let's say,
the issue of
life after death,
life in the grave.
When you know the details of it,
one who knows the details,
his conviction will be stronger than the one
who knows
nothing about it.
He doesn't know the details. The his imam
will not be like the other one who
knows everything in detail
and the proof from the Quran and the
sun.
So his conviction will be stronger, and this
faith will be firm,
firmer
in his heart.
For example,
the belief
of Ibrahim alaihis salaam.
When he asked Allah,
show me how you give life to the
dead.
Allah asked him,
haven't you believed?
Because he asked,
my lord, show me how you give life
to the dead.
Allah said,
haven't you believed?
He said,
I believe.
I want more
conviction.
I want more certainty.
Take 4 pigeons.
K?
Cut them
into pieces,
distribute them on the mountains around you,
then call them.
So now you see. Imagine. I want you
to visualize the scene.
Ibrahim
got these 4 pigeons,
cut their throats,
cut their meat,
mixed their meat,
distributed the meat.
For some narration, they say he kept the
hedge with him.
Then he just calls them.
Come.
He called the
pigeons that were cut he cut them himself.
And the pigeons came
back into life.
I
applaud them into life,
and they came to him flattering their wings.
Now
is the conviction,
the faith,
the iman
of Ibrahim
after this
experiment
and experiencing
after he experiencing
the begins come back coming back into life.
Will his iman remain the same? No.
No doubt. His iman will be
shoot
out. So the conviction itself
will also increase
either
when you see
something with your own eyes
or
when you have more proofs
that support that particular issue of faith or
particular
issue
of iman.
For example,
if you have an we have an,
embryologist
doctor
who specialize in
studying an
embryology.
And from
the first moment
of the conception,
when the sperm
fertilize the egg,
and he is watching it, everything,
all the entire process
from the conception,
fertilization
phase
to delivery.
K?
Is the iman of this doctor
like someone who didn't see that and didn't
have this experience?
Absolutely, it would be different.
And if he's a Muslim
or a believer,
oh, his iman will
will increase exponentially,
tremendously.
So now we know
the iman equals the conviction,
and the conviction also can increase.
Take the second variable.
Can the utterance increase? Yes.
The more the more the
more you read the Quran,
so more
verbal acts actions.
So that can increase.
Now can the actions of the limbs increase?
Yes.
Instead of playing 5 times, you are playing
the sunan, you're playing the Hajj.
So of all these three variables,
any one of them increases, the iman will
increase. And if all the 3
increase, the iman
will reach the maximum.
So keep this in mind.
That's the meaning of iman.
So I hope now, you know the difference
between Aqida
and iman
and Tawhid. Tawhid is you believe in the
oneness of Allah.
Tawhid.
You single him out. You worship no one
but Allah.
You associate
no one but Allah
It is very important we know these terminologies,
my dear brothers and sisters.
So here the sheikh is saying,
what Atakkadu? So now we know what's the
meaning of Atakkadu?
Means something tied, I
okay. No doubt at all.
Not like what many Muslims today.
If they
hear one doubt
raised,
thrown at
them by an atheist,
agnostic,
a missionary,
secularist,
modernist.
Their faith is shaken
because the idea is not tied.
The belief is not fixed firmly.
They did not study. They're deemed well.
Jesus Sahaba,
the prophet, 13
years in Mecca.
What was he doing?
Drilling down this belief in their heart, inculcating
it,
instilling it
in their hearts.
Then
that's what made Bilal
to say,
because his
was so strong in his heart. Nothing could
have shaken him.
He used to say,
when they say,
I feel sweetness,
delightfulness
inside.
It overcomes the agony and the pain.
Yes.
Yes.
That's why
the Hapidah will
make wonders.
The Sahabi when he was stabbed
with the spear
from behind.
The blood gushed. He took a handful of
blood, and he said,
I won by the Lord of the Kaaba.
And another
on the day of Uhud.
When
the Khitan screamed,
Khitan screamed
and said, Muhammad died.
And many of the Sahaba dropped their swords
and sat down.
He came to them and said, what happened?
They said, the prophet had he said,
what is the benefit of your life? Get
up and fight until you die and follow
him.
And he ran towards the.
He met in his way. He said,
I
am smelling
the or
Doona, or before the mouth of a head.
Sad, I smell the Jannah.
Little.
Al Khansa,
this is what is our problem is here,
my dear brothers.
The problem in the Muslims, something happened to
their gim.
Al Khansa,
before the battle started.
4 of her children, she told them, come,
my children.
I don't want anyone to come back. I
don't want to see you back coming to
me. We will only meet in the Jannah.
Go.
Go.
When the news reached her that your children
were martyred,
she said,
glory be to Allah.
All praises are due to Allah. All thanks
are due to Allah who blessed me and
honored me
by granting them martyrdom.
Which mother will do this?
Which mother?
The mother that
is unshakable.
A mother
who sees the yanna.
A mother who believes
in every single word
Allah said.
Who believes in the promise of Allah
and that
there are many hansal
in the Muslim Ummah, and we have many
life examples.
Well, I talked to do imana.
So I
believe. K. Family.
And they hold the faith and the iman
and the belief.
This
faith and belief which I hold firmly,
deeply in my heart
regarding
the I believe in everything my prophet told
me.
Are we?
Today,
everyone should ask himself.
Do you believe in everything your prophet said?
Or when you hear
something your prophet said, you say,
You start to give it a second thought.
Or you say, is it in the Quran?
Is it in the sunnah? Oh, okay. It's
not from the Quran. Right? I believe only
in the Quran.
You are a liar.
You
are a liar. You don't believe in the
Quran.
Because if you believe in the Quran,
you follow what the Quran tells you.
Because the Quran tells you
This is what the Quran says. You believe
in the Quran. Why don't you follow what
your prophet said?
When the Quran tells you
whatever
and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it.
Abstain from it.
You believe in the Quran, what the Quran
says.
He doesn't speak out of his own desires.
He acts in what he receives.
He's inspired.
He receives revelation,
inspiration
from Allah.
So my dear brothers and sisters, the 2
women,
finish.
My prophet told me because I will this
is the meaning of Muhammad Rasulullah.
You have accepted him as Rasoolah,
and then
when he tells you something,
you doubt it?
You contradict yourself.
How do you say he's Rasool Allah?
I believe in him, and when he tells
you, no, I don't believe. It's a
clear contradiction.
Clear contradiction.
See the the Sahaba.
When the news reached them and they were
drinking alcohol,
that Allah forbid alcohol forever.
Just one man came to them.
The one who was pouring for them,
the
liquor,
alcohol.
He looked at them. Their glasses were full
of wine.
He told him, what are you waiting for?
Spill it. Spill it. Throw it away.
And everyone threw what he had in his
glass. He didn't say, let me have a
glass sip.
And then everyone went to his house and
bought out all these
stock
of wine,
pots clay pots full of wine,
smashed them on the road. There were streams
of wine.
That's the happy that that's the iman.
That's the belief in Muhammad
That's why he's saying, I believe in everything
my prophet told me. He's he's Rasool Allah.
See,
in Mecca
in
Mecca,
when the prophet
was taken to Jerusalem,
Al Ismail,
the night journey from the sacred mosque in
Mecca to the farthest mosque in Palestine.
And the prophet told him he in the
next day, he informed Quraish that I went
to Jerusalem and came back.
That's Islam. May I write?
The heavenly journey.
Could not believe what he said.
And they challenged him,
and they told him, and he gave them
answered their questions,
and he gave them proofs,
tangible proofs. There's a caliphon who's going to
ally.
They lost one of their comers, then they
found it. And the the comer that leads
the caliphon, this is the cut. He gave
them details.
And when they asked him, he said, okay.
We've been to Jerusalem, Tibet, and
described it to us.
He said when they asked me that question,
by that time, I didn't have any information.
I didn't go there to count how many
doors and how many windows,
and you really brought it in front of
me just like that, visible,
light covering,
and I started describing it to them.
On top of that, Abu Jahl,
Jabal Bakr was not there,
He
met Abu
Bakr on the way. Said,
Abu Bakr,
did you hear what your friend is saying?
Said, what did he say?
Did you hear what your friend say
said?
So what did he say?
He said he went last night
to Baynton Maqdis in Palestine and came back.
Abu Bakr said, did he say so?
He said, yes. He said, he told you
the truth.
So Abu Bakr is not an issue.
This is the iman of Abu Bakr. That's
why
iman Abu Bakr in one hand of the
of the balance, the scale, and the rest
of the nation and the other, and he
outweighs them.
So,
it's
not an issue.
It's not an issue if he went up
and one night came back. He tells me,
in no time, Gabriel came to me, told
me this, and they believe in that. So
it's not a
big deal for me. It's not an issue.
I believe him. What have I
about what will happen after death.
I believe in all that.
So what will happen after death, my dear
brothers and sisters?
What will happen?
May Allah make our death easy,
and may Allah
make the last word we utter is the
word of the
Whoever whose last words were,
there's no true god and 2 deity to
be worshiped except Allah. He will go
to
Yemen. My dear brothers and sisters, when a
person is dying and breathing his last,
the last minute,
he started to see
the next life.
Next.
He sees the angels.
He sees the he sees the angel's death.
Many
of
the salaf when when they were dying, they
heard them
saying,
welcome, welcome.
Some, they were smiling.
Sheikh Ruben Rahim Allah, his wife said, smiling.
When he was dying, he was smiling, and
he was laughing. He was happy.
And she said, that was very strange for
us. Never happened.
Because now he's seeing something else.
K?
He has seen something else. He has seen
now
the Malaika.
When he was dying before
he plead his last, he said, bring my
children. I want to have a last look
at them to
see them.
And he told them, listen, my children. I
didn't leave anything for you. If you are
pious, Allah will take care of you.
If you are impious,
I didn't leave anything which will help you
to sin
and disobey Allah.
Then he told them, leave me.
When they were leaving, they heard him.
Will
coming.
Okay?
And the angel of death will come and
approach
us
and communicate
to this soul
through the body.
May Allah make our souls come out
and flow easily,
smoothly,
the drop of water.
He communicates and talks to the soul,
and the soul comes out, the soul of
the,
And the pleasant smell comes out.
This soul will be handed over
to his helpers.
It's only one angel of death, not many.
And his name is the angel of death,
not Israel.
Then it will be left
wrapped in the shroud,
and this pleasant smell will come out.
Then it will be taken
to the Jannah,
and it will be placed in birds,
the souls.
They will be carried by birds
in the Jannah.
And the souls of the martyrs
in green birds,
the souls of the believers,
not green
birds, the souls of the believers,
they roam and move in a certain part
of the jannah.
The souls of the martyrs, the shohada,
the no restriction.
The moment we put this body into the
grave,
so comes back.
K?
Connection with the body.
And the angels, they come and they question
the deceased.
And that is a hollow of test. May
Allah make it easy,
very painful, very difficult.
Allah make it easy upon all of us
to answer the questions.
And that is
the second phase of your life because a
human being
goes through 3 phases. This life, which we
know,
then
life, transitional
life, which is in between, buffer life, like
a buffer zone,
between
this life and the next life in the.
So this
life means something in between.
As Allah
said
regarding
and
his people.
And
now The pharaoh
and his people
are exposed to the fire.
Okay?
In the morning and in the evening.
And in the day of
take
the pharaoh and the people of the pharaoh
pharaoh to the
the severest,
the most painful
punishment.
So this is bad luck now the Farah
and his people are in.
So this is a fact, it's a life
which is in the grave.
And you have to keep in mind
that each phase,
the lows of that govern this pattern or
this phase of life are totally different.
Don't mix things.
The laws
that govern us in this world are the
physical laws, the physical
laws.
See,
I have mass.
I occupy
space.
The
law of gravity
has impact on me.
If you push me from
high altitude, I will fall down.
So the physical laws we know,
the fire burns,
water drowns.
So all these physical laws, they govern this
life.
The moment you die,
it is totally different.
So forget about the laws you know.
Forget about that.
It is irrational,
illogical because this is something mysterious. It's you
don't know. You have no clue about it.
So don't
compare it
and make it analogous
to the life. You know? It's not totally
different.
And the last giving us
tangible example,
material example, the sleep. The sleep is an
example for all of us.
Sleep is called
minor death.
The sleep is minor death.
So every night we die.
The souls, really, they go back to Allah,
but they do not leave the body totally.
There's a connection.
That's why you breathe.
And then you over your eyes in the
morning, you say
All praises due to Allah. Give us life
after we were dead. So we were dead.
Now in the sleep
now
when we are awake, how do we see?
Now now I'm talking to you.
How do you see
with your eyes?
Light hits an the the object in front
of you,
the rays reflect,
Go to your eyes.
Go to the
iris. Go to the retina.
Image is impented in the retina.
Message is sent to the brain. The brain
sent the interpretation
of that message.
That's how you see
things.
You need to have healthy eye, and you
need to have light.
In the absence of light,
you need to dark, you will not see.
So you need light, and you need
healthy eyes.
Healthy sight.
But when you are asleep,
lights are off.
The lights are off.
Eyes are closed with your eyelids.
Yet in your sleep, you see.
You see.
You see colors. You see forest. You see
birds. You
sees the question. How do you see?
Your eyes are closed. Lights are off.
Which one of the 5
faculties,
senses,
you saw through? Which one?
The sense of sight,
of seeing?
Your eyes are closed.
And so lights are sweatshaws.
So you saw things
in your dream
by something else which you don't know.
And none of us knows
yet.
I saw things.
Because now
the sleep is minor death.
So there are different laws
which you don't we don't had no clue
about that.
Goffin the whole process.
When we dream,
you know, the longest dream
last
seconds,
longest,
they measured
the activity of the brain.
And then when you get up in the
morning
and you relay the dream,
it takes you maybe minutes,
many minutes.
So in the dream,
many events
were compressed.
Okay.
And that's your time.
Now you want to relate that information
to, like, a zip
file. Now you have to unzip it.
So now
it will take more time
because
the law of the sleep is not like
the law
of
when you are awake
or the law that governs
us our life when we are awake.
Totally different.
This is the sleep.
How about the real death?
Oh,
more complex.
So the laws of the life, you don't
know anything about that.
What happened in the grave, and
these angels will come.
Yes. You believe in that,
and you cannot deny that
because you don't see them.
Because we are limited and
human being is limited.
And this is another world,
We don't know anything about it.
And then in the day of resurrection,
we'll be resurrected and come out from our
graves,
and then it's another third
phase, another life.
Totally different.
Our physique
physique,
the structure will be different.
K?
You will be
60
feet high.
Cubit. Sorry. Cubit.
So your height is 60
cubit.
Will be just like how Allah created our
father, Adam.
And then the human beings started to shrink.
All of us will be young
on that day.
It's another
phase.
So here's the say,
I believe in all the things my prophet
said
and the things that will happen after death.
All these things mentioned, I believe in that.
For all men who be fit in a
tall cover,
I believe in the tile
of the grave,
the questioning
of the 2 angels.
Frightening.
Can you imagine?
You're alone now in
the grave.
And these 2 angels, they come to you
shouting.
May Allah
grant us
the
and
the the and
the firmness.
And Shoa has mercy on us
and strengthen our heart
to answer them. I mean,
for all men who fit in that to
cover you and are in.
Some peoples, they will answer the questions.
Their lives will be expanded, and they receive
the blessings
and things from the.
In their place.
Others, the graves will squeeze them.
We know that.
May Allah save us from that. I mean,
what we are added to Allah accept,
see,
when
the
what is abated
will start to decay, and everything everything will
go back to the earth,
except the end of the future plane.
Small bow
portion
of small bone will remain.
Now
before the day of resurrection,
all the bones will be brought back,
reconstructed,
reconnected,
skeleton is formed,
then they will be clothed with the flesh.
So the grave
acts like the womb, the mother's womb.
Then the sky will rain water as the
prophet
described.
This water, not normal water like the water
of the men, like *.
Then the souls
will be united with the bodies,
and then the grace will open.
And they believe that Allah will return the
souls to the bodies.
Baniels. And the people will come out from
their graves.
K.
And they will stand before in
the lord of the worlds.
Rufar,
bare footed.
No shoes.
No shoes.
Naked. All of us will be naked.
All
our mother, I shall say, men and women.
He said, yes. Men and women, but no
one will look at each other.
The scene is
scary.
What is?
You know men in Islam, they are circumcised.
Circumcision
is to cut the foreskin
on the organ,
the male organ, the foreskin.
That's called.
So that skin, the foreskin that was cut
and thrown,
it will
be put back.
Foreskins are put back.
The sun will be above the hedge.
And the scales,
okay, will
be
erected,
will be installed.
And
the deeds
of the people
will be weighed.
Deeds are something
abstract, not material, but Allah will make them
materialized,
and they will be placed on the scale,
the pants of the balance.
So those
whose
scales,
they're weighty,
and the weight of their deeds tips the
palace,
they are successful.
And those
whose weight
is so light
so light.
Their good their evil deeds outweigh
their good deeds
then they are. The ones who lost their
life, cashing on for some,
they are losers,
and they will
They will abide in the hellfire forever.
What do you mean?
The records
will be distributed.
See that day,
you don't know how you're going to receive
your record.
Will your record
will be put in your right hand or
your left hand?
May Allah make us among those
who will receive their records when
with their right hands. I mean, may Allah
make us among those who will rejoice and
say,
come come. Read my book. Read my book.
Happy. Rejoicing.
I mean,
what's in Charlotte do we in?
The after is on, you
mean? One takes his book
in his light heart.
Hand.
And now that he received his book in
his left hand.
What a great loss.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala send in our
iman and your iman, and may Allah make
us die upon the iman, and may Allah
end our life
and grant us good ending.
And may Allah
his mercy in us
and envelope us
in his mercy.
And may Allah
keep us remain steadfast
on this beautiful deed.
Make us die upon Islam.
May Allah keep us remain firm on the
hap on the deen till we meet him
and find him place with all of us.
May Allah forgive us our false mistakes and
sins and ignorance,
May Allah unite our
and may Allah unite our hearts.
May Allah
unite our hearts. May Allah elevate your status,
my dear brothers and sisters,
in this world and in the hereafter.
May Allah reward you immensely
for your
dedication,
for your patience, and for your attendance.
Osha'Allah brothers and sisters, we will start the
question and answers time now.
Please send in your questions fast so we
can cover it before we end the session.
You can ask verbally, this is our preferred
way of asking questions.
If not send us your message in the
chat Insha'Allah. So some we have received already,
we will begin with those Insha'Allah.
The first question,
is surrogacy
permissible in Islam?
The
answer, no. But what is surrogacy?
Surrogacy
is
you hire and rent a womb of a
woman.
So some woman, another woman will carry the
baby for you,
surrogate mother.
K?
So this is
not allowed in Islam
at all.
Because then we have a problem. We have
a child who has 2 mothers.
The mother that bore him, the surrogate mother,
and the one who is the biological mother,
the egg is taken from that mother.
And then we have a problem, the sperm
of another man is
also
there in the womb of this woman who
that fertilized the egg of the biological mother.
So surrogacy
is not allowed in Islam at all.
That's not permissible in Islam.
And,
also,
the,
something I'll just like to add. Also, the
the,
taking
sperm
of another man from the banks. Now there
are banks of sperm.
For some people,
maybe they are barren.
Okay. The husband is barren,
cannot have a child.
So they go to a bank,
take a
sperm.
That is zina
using
the technology.
That's totally
halal prohibited in Islam. So surrogacy is not
allowed in Islam. I hope this has cleared
the question.
Next question.
From the answer you gave yesterday concerning a
question where you explained that the most correct
opinion after arising from is
to keep the hands down.
If one keeps the hand down,
sorry, if one keeps
the hands on the chest after a call,
won't one be rewarded for it?
If he
a scholar
and he believes that this is the right
thing, yes, no doubt.
Because that's what he believes in.
He will not be,
sinful.
But if he's,
k, which is the case of most of
the people, they just
imitate and emulate and follow what this scholar
said.
They did not study the issue.
Okay.
So that they say,
yes. I reached the conclusion that this is
the strongest opinion.
Then he's Yaz Muhammad.
K.
So now
he has to look
into
this issue.
The mainstream, the majority of the Muslim, they
say, hands
should be put down
because this is an open issue.
And the Sahaba saw the prophet praying,
and none of them, none
said the prophet after he raised from the,
he put his hand. None of them said
that.
When they were teaching their their students, none
of them after did that.
Doctor is a scholar. He was a nano
who has reached the jihad, and
then, yes, that is,
if he
is wrong, he will be rewarded once. If
he is
correct, he will be rewarded twice.
Is this clear to the question?
Otherwise, they can send in another question.
The next question.
If the imam does not sit to pause
after the second prostration of the first rakah
before standing for the second rakah,
is the congregation also obliged not to sit
before standing up?
If they sit while the Imam did not,
and we are obliged to follow the Imam,
Won't the congregation
define their salah with the imam?
In the salah, you follow the imam.
The imam didn't sit down for what it's
called,
this pose
of sitting for,
sort of relaxation.
Because the the ulema, they different this, what
is the wisdom. They said the prophet
used to do that when he became old
and advanced in age.
Anyway,
if the
the imam did not sit for,
he didn't post,
he just got up immediately. You follow the
email. In
the so you need to follow your email.
Don't sit. Follow the email.
Is this clear to the questioner?
We go to the next question.
What criteria does one need in order to
accept
or deny
a hadith?
It has to be a scholar of hadith,
first of all.
K. If you are not a specialist, if
you're not a scholar of hadith, then
you are
talking about an an a matter, an issue.
You don't understand you don't know it.
But if you study the science of hadith
and you practice that and,
you know, the
science of and
the
there are sciences in the in the hadith
and
different schools also in the science of hadith
and different and
categories of,
of ulama in the science of hadith.
Right?
So you are
if you are not qualified, you are you
you just make taqleet.
You make taqleet. For example,
Hakai Hadith and Bukhari. Muslim
Ummah, they accepted this. Hadith and Bukhari are
Muslim.
And the other books of the Sunan,
you follow these scholars who check these
books of hadith, and they
check the authenticity of the narrations, and they
say, this hadith, Sahih. This hadith, Sahasan.
This hadith is weak. Just you follow what
this scholar said, and that's it. Enough for
you.
It's enough for you.
Is this clear to the questioner?
We go to the next question.
My brother recently married a sister from a
different Asian ethnicity
to us
without my mother's happiness.
Both my mom and husband
refused
to accept his wife
due to her being from a different ethnicity,
and so we have never met her but
have spoken to her.
Also, my husband
thinks my children will follow
by example if I liaise with them.
Recently, his wife gave birth to a premature
baby, and I feel bad not being able
to support my brother.
Will I need permission of my husband or
mother to visit the baby?
I feel it's unfair that the child will
be deprived knowing
from knowing
his kinship.
This is Jahiliyyah.
This is Jahiliyyah.
This has nothing to do with Islam
because they are not from the same tribe,
not from the same clan.
See?
This is the situation of the Muslims.
He's
Muslim.
And if he is pious, I'm practicing Muslim.
What else?
Did the prophet
say you marry from your own clan, from
your own tribe, or you
say
married the one who has religious commitment,
practicing sister? What did the prophet
say?
Answer me.
The mother answered this question, what the prophet
said. Why you don't listen to what your
prophet said and you believe that in
is your messenger?
Repent.
Turn to Allah.
Get rid of this Yahiliya.
This fanaticism,
this blind imitation of the forefathers,
it's high time to get rid of that.
He didn't commit a sin
just because
you want him to marry
from
your
clan or your tribe
or what is this? Your family.
Who said that?
So call them.
Your father needs help, but here, you need
the permission of your husband.
Talk to your husband.
Make him hear what I'm saying.
This is not correct
to stand against this man and his family
and boycott them. This is boycotting.
And the prophet
said, it is haram to boycott your brother
in Islam more than 3 days 3 nights.
And the best one of them is the
one who resume
the talk and start to take the initiative
to normalize
the relationship.
So seek his permission and go
and visit your brother,
and let your children to know that this
is your
maternal uncle,
and we should not sever the ties.
This is Yahiliya, my dear brothers and sisters.
And Muslim, they need to get rid of
these things. These are dominance of the days
of Yahiliya.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Very clear, Sheikh. Very clear.
The next question, does it affect the validity
of prayer if I bend a large amount,
but not until the core
position
without something that I have no choice over.
So normal circumstance
if I bend a large angle.
Okay. Bend lower than normal or higher than
normal?
Anyway,
one has to bend and his back and
hadith described the salah of the prophet right
angle. Right angle.
Not lower than that or higher than that.
And what many
Muslims, they pray like this,
like spring.
It's like this.
That was the man who was playing.
Musiv Salatahu.
Like that. Like that.
No sukoon.
No for sure.
K?
So
the vertebrae,
they don't go back to their normal position.
The moment he just bends or she bends
like that,
that's when the prophet
he told the man to repeat his salah
3 times
3 times. Then he said, I don't know
better than this, and he told him.
But
remain in your
till you feel.
Okay?
The vertebrae,
everything is now back to normal position.
Then get up
and remain in that position
until you feel you you are in that
straight
applied position.
Then you go to the sujood,
and you place your forehead. Many people, many
men,
and many Muslims.
When the moment he his face touch the
nose touch,
no. You have to touch the groin,
the floor,
the nose, and the forehead,
and you have to
be down for a while.
And your palms and your knees
and your toes are facing the qipla.
This is the salah.
So this how you should pray if you
want Allah to accept your salah.
But if you are like this, like Arabics,
then that salah is invalid.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Shala, it's clear, Sheikh. We'll go to the
next question.
Sheikh.
Very beneficial.
My question is there are many non Muslims
who lived
their whole life in Kufur,
but at the end, they got Hidayah,
died as a Muslim.
And there are some Muslims who are pious
and spend their whole life in obedience of
Allah, but at the end,
they went astray
and died in that state.
Why does this happen?
The question is wrong. Don't say why.
Who are you to question Allah?
Not I'm not talking to the question. I'm
talking to everyone.
We should have Adam,
learn manners,
how to
ask questions.
We we want to know.
This is Allah,
not
our friend and colleague.
We cannot object.
See,
why did you do that to Allah?
Allah cannot be questioned. Rather, we are going
to be questioned.
That's the number 1.
The other will have to learn other manners.
Allah
It's just
Your lord is not going to wrong anyone
because
one can deduce from the question,
scheme, he was pious, righteous.
All his life,
towards the end of his life,
he went back on his heels, and now
he left Islam.
Who
grabbed him by his hand to leave Islam?
Allah?
Or he himself
willingly
with hon his own free will,
with her his own choice,
he decided to leave Islam.
Of course, he decided to leave Al Islam,
and this was his choice.
And the law told him,
if you leave Al Islaq, this is what
is going to happen to you.
I, Allah says,
We have showed him the two ways.
Way to Jannah, way to *.
So you were going on the way to
the Jannah,
and then
you decided, no. No. No. No. No.
I will go to the way to the
hellfire. That was your choice.
You blame no one but yourself.
I have showed them the 2 parts. It's
up to you now. You want to believe,
believe. You want to disbelieve, disbelief.
But then
you'll be held accountable for your choice
for your choice.
Secondly,
it appears to us
that he was pious.
It appears us. He
pretends that he was pious,
but he was not sincere.
Yes. We think he's a sincere.
Like the
they pray in the Masjid with the.
But Allah knows what is in their heart.
So this person
who went back on his heels,
he was not sincere.
There was not.
As mentioned in the hadith, 3 Nayy Abdul
Inaz.
He was pious apparently
as it appears to the people,
but inside
and worldly,
was not there.
May Allah
keep us remain steadfast and grant us the.
Made the apostles assistant. It is scary.
Scared.
So that's why the salaf that you
always and the prophet
said,
oh, you who changes the heart.
And people think Allah changes your heart just
like that be for no reason. No.
Your heart will be chained because of you,
and allow will allow you to
to go
in that path
because he has given you free will.
So he will not interfere in your choice.
But when you come to him
and start treading on the path,
the right path,
now Allah pushes you in that path,
gives you strength,
and and
support.
But
if you choose the other path,
Allah will not support you.
That is your choice.
You
taste your medicine.
You bear the consequences.
Is this clear to the questioner?
And the disbeliever who was throughout his life
covered,
at the end of his life,
he started to think.
What was the purpose of my life?
And they ask the the reverse.
They start to think,
And they are sincere. They want to know.
They are searching for the truth.
And the
why helps the one who's seeking and searching
for the truth.
Many of them,
they
become Muslim by reading the Quran,
and they find, yes. This is what I
have been missing.
This is what I have been looking for.
So Allah
he
helps them.
When you are sincere, Allah facilitates
when you are looking for the tooth.
Because they were sincere, Allah
guided them
towards the end of their life.
Children.
Because they came to them, and they are
saying, oh god, help me.
Some they breathe the jihad, they just on
their bed.
The last thing, they are dying.
They become Muslims.
The last minute.
I hope this is clear to the questioner.
Shala, it is clear, Sheikh. We go to
the next question.
Is there any Dalil that the imam should
pause after Surat al Fatiha
so that the followers should also recite it?
No. There's no Dalil
in the sunnah.
But if, anyway, the imam,
he just take a pose to a him
to relapse, we cannot say you have to.
That's why,
Sheikh Islami bintaimia,
he said
when reading the Surat al Fatah, you know
that there are,
different opinions
in in the loud prayer. In the silent
prayer,
you
read
it. Though the in the hanaf,
even in the silent prayer, the imam reads
on your behalf based on the hadith,
Whoever is playing behind an imam, the recitation
of the imam is his recitation.
Even if it is,
not a a loud
prayer.
Not if it is
silent prayer, you read.
The problem the issue now, if it is
loud prayer
okay. The imam is reading. So
one opinion says the recitation of the imam
is the recitation
of the and based on this hadith,
and it is authentic hadith.
The other opinion says you read Surat Al
Fatiha
even if it is
the imam is reading loudly in the first
because the hadith says,
Quran.
They can also allow for the one who
didn't read Surat
Al Fatiha, the mother of the book.
Another narration
for imperfect imperfect imperfect
incomplete incomplete. So
they say, you read Surat
even if the imam
is reading, you you read
while the imam is reading.
K. The strongest opinion in this matter, of
course, it is
subjective
that if the imam is reading, you listen
to his recitation.
Because that's what the
said. We used to read, then the prophet
told us not to read.
That's why Sheikh Al Bani holds
the opinion
that
reading behind the imam while he's reading is
obligated.
Obligated.
So Abitaymaha
said,
if the imam
gives you
chance to read, then read. Don't keep silent.
Or if you are far away, you don't
hear the recitation of the imam.
He talks about those days, no microphone.
Or let's say, they
power got
disrupted.
You don't hear
the, recitation of the imam, then you read.
So he said, if you cannot hear the
recitation of the imam, then you read. But
if you hear, then you listen.
You listen.
Is this clear to the questioner?
So I like to clear share if we
go to the next question.
Can you please explain
how the prophet
and
the Sahaba
performed salah the day of
in Najat, and
that was.
Question mark.
This is,
there are different,
types and different forms of,
and this discuss if you'll take a chapter
in the books of, you'll see the details
whether the imam is the
the enemy in front of you, the enemy,
behind you. So there are different,
scenarios.
Okay.
So,
if we have time
and
our prolonged delight our life will start giving
the class.
Next question, sir.
May Allah grant you goodness, Ameen.
My question,
are women allowed to visit the graves of
their relatives?
Number 2, are we
allowed to advise our parents?
The first question, it is controversial
issue,
between scholars.
Some of the, they're saying it is for
all women to go to the graveyard.
Because the prophet said,
may Allah curse the women who visit the
graveyard.
This is one opinion.
So if you hear some scholar a scholar
saying it is haram. So he's holding this
opinion.
The other opinion says no.
The hadith talks about women who frequently
go and visit the graveyards.
That is not allowed
because the hadith says,
and this is intensive forms.
That means frequently, they go to the graveyards.
But if a woman
visit graveyard a graveyard the graveyard
occasionally
to receive admonition
and to be reminded,
there's no harm.
There's no harm. Because Aisha, she visited the
grave of her brother, Abdul Rahman.
That's number 1.
Said,
we
we were told not to follow
the funeral procession,
but not strictly.
Thirdly,
Aisha
went to to
the graveyard
when the pastor Hassan 1 night went there.
He was
sleeping with in in her room,
and he thought that she slept. So he
got up because Allah told him
to go and pray for
the
people of Papia.
So he got up, and he left quietly.
She immediately
dressed up. She said she thought that he
was going to one of his wife,
And the moon was full,
she went and followed him to the graveyard,
and she saw him standing, praying for the
for
the Sahaba who passed away.
So she decided
she blamed herself and said,
I'm thinking something, and you are doing something
else. She decided to go back, and she
was running.
The papa because the moon was full, he
saw the shadow.
Then he came back, and he he found
her covered.
But she was breathless, so the blanket was
going up and down.
So he said, yeah. I
I
didn't say, yeah. Aisha. This is called
diminutive form,
like cutie,
sweetheart.
Yeah. Ishmael
Iraqirabbia.
What happened? I can see your body now
is becoming colossal. It's increasing.
Were you the one
I saw
that was your shadow? She was hesitant. He
told her,
tell me the truth. Otherwise, allow them for
me.
He said, yes. He
he did like this.
He hit her with his finger
in his in her tummy
telling her,
do you think I will be unfair to
you?
By Allah, it is your shaitan who whispered
to you, and you followed me. She said,
do I have shaitan?
Said everyone has shaitan, including you.
He said, including me.
But my shaitan
companion
cannot command me to do something wrong. He
cannot.
So he and the prophet,
he saw her in the graveyard,
and he didn't tell her, oh, Aisha,
didn't you know it is haram to come
to the graveyard?
Why did you come?
He didn't say that.
That's the number 1. Number 2, she she
it is known to her. It's not haram
to go to the graveyard.
If it was known to her and had
she known that it is haram, she wouldn't
have followed the prophet.
K?
So she visited her the graveyard
of her brother.
She followed the
prophet said, we were not forbidden strictly.
The prophet passed by a woman crying at
the grave of her son
or one of her dear ones,
and he told her, be patient. She said,
leave me alone. You don't know what I'm
going through.
He didn't tell her haram for
you to come to the graveyard. He didn't
say that.
53, the prophet said,
I have forbidden you from visiting the graveyard,
so visit the graveyard
because visiting the graveyards remind you
would remind you of the hereafter.
And we know in Islam, the
and the rulings that are applied for men
are applied for women.
No difference whatsoever.
And this and and until
the law giver makes a difference.
And the wisdom the prophet
allowed the Sahaba
to visit the graveyards is to receive admonition
and to be reminded.
And no doubt, women, they need to be
reminded.
But if a woman is going to be
go there and cry
and bewail and lamentate
and lament,
then it is hara.
But if you just go there
and say
and make the dua
and things like that,
then it is permissible.
And Allah knows best, this is the strongest
opinion.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Otherwise, they can send another question in.
There's a comment from one of the brothers
here.
God bless you and your loved members of
your families,
your executive committee, and all of your valuable
students and all Muslims around the world.
May Allah make you all from the Ahlul
Jannah, Amin.
Because being learning
your classes,
because of studying in your classes,
the mercy of Allah, may he allow us
so many years ahead to continue with you
this beautiful and pure teachings of the deen
of Allah.
Amen.
And finally, alhamdulillahirrubilalamin,
the almighty Allah who saved us the bad
disease saved us from the bad disease, I
believe,
going around the world.
Question, Sheikh. Can a father be the Wali
of her daughter
born out of wedlock?
Well, this is, another issue
between
controversial
issue of halal between scholars
is that the child out of the wedlock,
can he
be
considered to be
my child? Is there a way where
he will become a legitimate child?
K. One team of the are not
out of the wedlock. He's a
illegitimate child.
He's a legitimate child because the the hadith
says.
So a child belongs to the
to the
to to the, valid, to the
healthy
relationship.
Literally,
a child,
belongs to the bed,
which means the bed of
husband and wife, which means the marriage.
And for the fornicator
or fornicators
is the stone to be stoned.
So this is
known opinion.
The other opinion says
if it is known that this child
is really his child,
a man,
he
fooled the girl,
promised to many her,
and that's why women should be
careful. Don't trust men.
And she became pregnant.
So some of the Madahad,
the 4 schools of Al Asuna,
they forced the man. They forced him to
get married, to marry this woman,
and the child will be attributed to him
and considered to be
a legitimate
child.
Ibn Taymiyyah also
holds
similar opinion.
One of my is
from Moroccan.
I studied with him the
Arabic sciences.
He was in
in the west,
and a case similar to this happened, came
to him.
1
Muslim, an Arab, was in Jahili, ignorant, and
then and lived with a woman, and they
have children.
And then
he started practicing Islam.
And
the children,
they told him, they are not your children.
So he went mad.
Crazy.
They are mine.
As you know, as you know now in
the west,
they live as husband and wife,
husband and wife,
and they have children.
So
he said, we
asked
and test are done on all that stuff,
And we asked, and they their relationship, they
were just 9 to 1, and, like, they
were living their husband and wife.
So we made for them a married contact
backdated
backdated,
and he took the children.
Okay.
So now if this daughter out of the
wedlock
k?
According to the opinion of
yeah. I think this is the Hanifian will
have.
And I've been to Amy and others. Yes.
He can be
the willy,
or somebody else
can't take the role of the willy, and
he can't take of his this biological daughter,
and Allah knows best.
Yes. I mentioned to you
what the ulama
have had said regarding this issue. Is this
clear to the question?
We go to the next question.
For
the beautiful lesson. Please, Sheikh,
What happened with,
angel companion of the person after his
death? Do they die too?
Who?
It's written.
A
original cardinal?
Angel companion of the person after his
Oh. Oh, okay. Okay. The Karim. Karim. Karim.
Not Karim. Okay.
Okay. Maybe the question I was talking about
about the companion, the Karim
from the union is called Karim. If the
question if I'm just guessing.
If the question I meant
the companion
of the
each one has a companion from the jinn
with us called karin.
So when one dies,
does the karin die or remain alive? No.
The karin doesn't die a lot when you
die.
Okay? The Karim remains because the
the jinn, they have their lifespan is more
than the lifespan of the human beings.
Okay?
And this what the people, the magicians
do, and those who trick the people,
and tell you we can make you communicate
and talk to your mother, talk to your
father.
They make a session for you,
and you hear your father, the voice of
your father
who talks to you
and all the information he says
about your childhood and other thing. You hear
your your father or your mother.
That is the. They call.
That was not your father.
K? Or they say,
some of non Muslims, our father, after his
death, he came back to us.
He visited us.
Our father, we saw him.
And he came to the house, and he
said, this is my room and everything. No.
That is the kareen. Because they, again,
they have the ability to take the the
form of a human being.
So the questioner is asking about the pareen,
does the pareen die? No. The pareen doesn't
die when you die.
They die, of course, when their lifespan
is
over.
Is this clear to the questioner?
Yes,
That is clear, and that was our final
question for tonight. If you'd like to conclude,
Before we conclude, there was a question asked
last session about Lukman
Luqman.
And Luqman,
and
he
he was a pious person,
one of Allah's.
He was not a a prophet or a
messenger.
And they said he left at the time
of Ayub, alaihis salaam.
And the and he was a slave
slave.
And, you know, prophets cannot be slaves.
They are free always.
And the Lord bless him with wisdom.
K.
And he was very pious,
wise,
and he
his words
he mentioned
many wisdoms, and his words were
compiled and
passed from one generation to another generation.
K? And he is the question I asked,
where is he from? He's from Nuba Nuba,
which is now, I think, in Sudan.
K? So he's an African from Africa.
Is this clear to the questioner?
This I hope this answered the question of
the
of the questioner.
May
Allah bless us with the beneficial knowledge
and the righteous deeds, and may Allah
accept our deeds and your deeds.
May Allah grant us.
May Allah
keep us remain steadfast on this beautiful deen
till we meet Allah
and find him
pleased with all of us. I mean, and
may
Allah reward you immensely, my dear brothers and
sisters, and may Allah
unite our
and unite our hearts in the Ameen. Until
we meet
in
the coming session,
I leave you in a large company and
protection.
